[00:00] Al2O3, well please check and if PPC is supported then the easiest test is to downlaod the Desktop ISO, burn it to CD, and boot from that... it won't touch your current setup and you can see how it runs [00:00] neat, thanks for the advice. [00:00] anyone with x1200 video issues with 9,10? [00:00] it stopped again for a second [00:00] time to to just that. [00:00] jeezzzzzzzzzzz [00:00] black friday [00:00] mneptok, does it matter that on the about:plugins page the Shockwave Flash filename is listed as npwrapper.libflashplayer.so and not libflashplayer.so ? [00:00] khensthoth: i think i don't [00:00] in Karmic I seem to be having issues with all the PPA's that I am using ... their speeds are very unstable .... [00:00] today is brown (turd) wed. [00:00] Al2O3, then if you like just choose the install option and it will do the rest [00:00] hi guys [00:00] tomorrow is baby shit green day [00:00] mneptok: I mean the modules [00:01] and of course friday is black dried out capitalistic turd friday. [00:01] kavurt: Try typing in the terminal sudo apt-get install apturl-common [00:01] Is there any linux/compiz configs that have a stable flash [00:01] Rods_Tiger: simplest is from the repo, but the better way is to download and install rubygems and then install rails as a gem...it is really not hard. You download rubygems and type sudo ruby setup.rb [00:01] i have problemes with the upgrade from .04 to .10 [00:01] does anyone know how to make the Allow access to keyring program remember that I want it to always allow a program? [00:01] linux: why do you think its an compiz issue? [00:01] most packet has depencies issues and won't upgrade [00:01] trism - as easy as that? I'll try it then [00:01] Rods_Tiger: because you can't update the rubygems in the repo, and occasionally new gems require a new rubygems [00:01] hipitihop: if it runs, I will pull the 320 gig PATA out of it, put in seperate 2.5" case (fw400), and then put the 60 gig back in it (that was pulled), install and go. [00:02] question: Is there any Microsoft Paint equivalent program on Ubuntu? [00:02] progesterone GIMP is too advanced for some cases. [00:02] progesterone, try kolourpaint [00:02] khensthoth: apturl-common has been already installed [00:02] subby83: I mean I want to use compiz. I'm looking for a linux distro that has perfect flash so I can use compiz lol [00:03] manug Do I have to install seperately? [00:03] how do u check verion of ubuntu?

Under Applications, search for apt. Is it associated with anything? [00:03] trism - I've downloaded it but it's one of those tgz files.

It says type "ruby setup.rb" but that doesn't work [00:05] ? [00:05] progesterone, sorry about that, they switched the version or something [00:05] Al2O3, good luck, I'm off [00:05] kavurt: Weird. Let me search online. In the meantime what do you wish to install? [00:05] manug I though so. [00:05] manug Thanks [00:06] Anyone else get this popup asking for keyring access?

Because I don't have any media to reinstall a ubuntu 9.10 live cd I thought of mounting a fresh downloaded 9.10 version and installing it with the help of this one. Is this possible? [00:09] Rods_Tiger: you may need build-essential installed for it to succeed [00:09] trism - aha. I've brought the file back to my Mac, and used archive manager on it.

[00:12] phoenixz: sounds like it wants to update lts to lts; you'll need to update version by version if you want to arrive at 9.10; check if update manager is set to show all releases, not only lts [00:12] khensthoth: karmic 3.5.5 [00:12] linux: no idea, but as i said, i'm absolutely fine with flash, and i use it a lot, probably its an connection issue with some sites you visit.. you can have 100 mbit, if the server is too slow it doesn't matter how fast your connection is [00:12] ok i'm going to try it again with unetbootin then [00:12] is it in the standard repo's?

[00:13] phoenixz: actually I don't know; try synaptic; let me check [00:14] sabgenton: should work with any ubuntu iso [00:14] I wanted to try out Ubuntu on my current Windows 7 system; so I downloaded the Ubuntu / Windows installer and it's asking me which drive I'd like to install on. Since C: drive is the drive with my current OS I assumed it logical to install Ubuntu there as well: thing is, there's an option for "installation size" - what does that mean? Does more room for installation mean a faster OS? Also, if I end up disliking Ubuntu, could I [00:14] In windows it never waits for the stream though [00:14] VCoolio: Its my dad.. synaptic already passes over whats humanly possible for him :) [00:14] it has to be a flash player problem [00:14] sabgenton: ive used it myself with a non-netbook distro, so from experience i can say its not specific to that [00:15] velcroshoo: cool [00:15] hi [00:15] Anybody know how to make applications skip the openbox taskbar on ubuntu? [00:15] it does it on slackware but not on ubuntu :/ [00:15] epinky, are you sure, because I have checked universe in software sources but can't find it [00:15] epinky, maybe I have to search another name? [00:15] zythyl: Larger installation size would enable you to have a larger free space in Ubuntu to use, so to speak. It doesn't make the system run faster, as far as I know. And you could easily remove Ubuntu if you installed it that way. [00:16] no issues on karmic with ati x1200's? [00:16] velcroshoo: is there anywhere that shows you exactly what it does? [00:16] nobody knows anything of openbox + tint2 on jaunty? [00:16] or how to do it manually [00:16] out of interest [00:16] @khensthoth [00:16] so i am restricted with 17gb if I choose it? [00:16] neztov: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-unetbootin-in-ubuntu [00:17] completely different question: is there a way on linux of taking a pdf and converting it into an audio file, consisting of the text being read out? [00:17] sabgenton: there is an entire page in the ubuntu forums about installation from USB, and it handles the usb-creator way and manually, though i dont have the specific address handy [00:17] yusuf: I use 9.10 on my ps3 [00:17] Rods_Tiger, copy the text into a text file, run it through festival and sox? [00:17] aha [00:17] The reason I ask is because the Ubuntu / Windows installer only allows up to 30GB install size... I find this remarkably small... [00:18] wubi? [00:18] epinky, perfect. thanx for the help [00:18] zythyl: Not sure, but do note that the system files for Ubuntu is around 2.5 - 3 GB in a default install. So if you choose 17, you might end up with 14 GB of free space or so. [00:18] neztov: you're welcome :) [00:19] Pasting from ubuntu, into an RDP session causes skype to crash on the remote machine. Any idea could be causing this? [00:19] Guys, if one install Ubuntu via Wubi, would he be able to resize that "partition" later?

Can I have access to my other drives through Ubuntu that I normally could through Windows? Also, how easy is it to UNINSTALL Ubuntu from the partition it created? And to merge that partition with the Windows OS's partition? [00:20] thanks manug [00:21] np [00:21] zythyl: You could resize the installation, but it's not exactly trivial if you are very very new to Ubuntu. 17GB though, is aplenty for Ubuntu.

[00:22] phoenixz, isn't it an install option on the alternate cd? [00:22] erUSUL: you can do it by, during install, add the lvm module.. its possible, but this should be just a trasnparent thing.. [00:22] phoenixz: logical volumes like what? c:\ and d:\ ? that's not logical, that's just numbering; linux uses functional names [00:22] Fretegi_2: grub cant start [00:22] keept saying unknown filesystem [00:22] keeps* [00:23] man 64bit or 32bit i cant get flash working perfectly to watch video streams @ justin.tv its really dissapointing... but i gota go poop [00:23] phoenixz: imho is overkill for a desktop and only add a nother layer of complexity == bad in case of disaster [00:23] VCoolio: eh, Im talking LVM here... dunno what you are talking about but thats not LVM :) [00:23] linux, cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:23] zythyl: If you installed Ubuntu that way, within Windows, using Wubi, it's really easy to uninstall - just like uninstalling other application in Windos through the Control Panel. You can access the Windows file too. [00:23] manug: I think it is actually, yeah, but "normal" people, like my dad, use the sweet live CD, not scary text only install things [00:24] If I say, have a game on my G: drive and install an Ubuntu partition on my C: drive, could I run that game / install that game from the G: drive using Wine? Or does it have to be on the same drive? [00:24] phoenixz, yeah, and he probably doesn't care about lvm either =) [00:24] Thanks for clarifying that khens. [00:24] hmmm, grub doesnt load at all? did it ever boot? [00:24] erUSUL: well, with that logic, it would be the worst option ever for servers but there is where its used alot.. Thing is, its ideal, also for desktops.. [00:24] not with ubuntu [00:24] we can agree to disagree ;P [00:24] it booted when only windows was on it [00:25] now its dual booted with win? [00:25] zythyl: when you install in linux with wine, the files will be in different place [00:25] manug: He doesn't care about LVM, no... He does care about not wanting to reinstall because he has his home directory full with stuff, he does not want to return eveyrthing from backups.. LVM would make it very easy just to move some stuff around [00:25] zythyl: I think first you might want to check the compatibility of your game under WINE first. As far as I know, you normally need to "reinstall" the application to use it under WINE. [00:25] and buntu never loaded ever? does grub load at all and if so can u launch the win loaded from it? [00:25] yeah, or TRYING rather [00:25] nope, no grub menu appears [00:25] it just instnatly says unknown filesystem [00:25] manug: same thing that he doesn't care about kernels, but he likes using linux :) [00:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8387539 [00:26] what ive tried so far [00:26] Cyber_Akuma, did u install windows after installing ubuntu? [00:26] phoenixz, fair enough, luckily he has you =) [00:26] and my problem in more detail [00:26] no [00:26] i installed windows first [00:26] zythyl: if there is some particularly big file, you might be able to symlink it in linux so it reads the copy on the windows drive [00:26] Cyber_Akuma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:26] Cyber_Akuma, u can always put in a live cd and see if the partitions is still intact? [00:26] Cyber_Akuma, then restore grub??? [00:26] manug: eh.. well, I suppose one the ideas of a good operating system is that its not a requirement to have a nerd in the familiy..

[00:49] hi, I used to be able to change boot order by editing: /boot/grub/menu.lst ..not anymore, how now? [00:49] what do you mean? [00:49] well clearly something isnt right, grub isnt recognizing the fs [00:49] from terminal [00:49] type fdisk -l /dev/sda [00:49] should be an asterick my the bootable partition, should be ur ext2 [00:49] BluesKaj: k hang on ill prolly drop when i plug it in [00:49] listed as /dev/sda4 on ur post [00:49] Fretegi_2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:49] sorry /dev/sda1 should have a bootflag on urs, and u installed win first right, what win version [00:49] datz: you can set the default item to boot by settting GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and running sudo update-grub [00:49] velcroshoo, you need to make sure the wifi isn't trying to connect which will autodisable the eth0 in some setups [00:50] trism: thanks [00:50] datz: you can specify items by name, so that when new kernels get added, it still points to the same entry [00:50] Cyber_Akuma_2: Grub2 can use it's own ata drivers to read the drive rather than depending on the BIOS [00:50] is there an easy way to update to latest version of alsa, preferably from the repositories? === Prodego is now known as elapse === imlad is now known as imlad|away [00:50] !latest |plitter: [00:50] plitter:: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

[00:59] Jordan_U: yeah, it seems to [00:59] sorry for my late reply [01:00] datz: you should probably do 09_os-prober so it goes right before the linux kernels...because you want it to go after the headers and the theme [01:00] datz: Yes, i'd choose 09_os-prober but it doesn't really matter as long as it's between 1 and 10 [01:00] plitter: ask if you need more help [01:00] datz: So yes [01:00] ok, thanks [01:00] DasEi: thanks, i'll probably need it [01:00] Cyber_Akuma_2: Does the shell prompt say "grub>" or "rescue>" ?

This used to work in 8.04 through 9.04, but doesn't in 9.10. [01:10] DasEi: u said lese, had a glimmer of hope:P [01:10] I made the boot partition last [01:11] by shrinking the windows (hda1) partition [01:11] plitter: else it was [01:11] Cyber_Akuma_2: That's exactly the wrong thing to do if the problem is with reading past a certain part of the drive :) [01:11] doh [01:11] DasEi: aah that explains it:) [01:11] Cyber_Akuma_2: And please use my nick so I see your messages [01:11] plitter: ./configure [01:12] Jordan_U: sorry [01:12] anyone have google voice?

[01:18] plitter: depends on machine, but compiling is some heavier stuff, so yes [01:18] plitter: your bug is a dupe of the one I mentioned in the bug report. [01:18] DasEi: i cant get my laptop to connect to my desktop using vnc nor can the deskltyop open vnc4config it says no display on :0.0 [01:18] yUraKeshi: wait are you not talking about changing the theme? [01:18] yUraKeshi: there was no unlock button the last time i used gnome, but its been nearly a year [01:18] maco, yes, why? [01:18] dtchen: really:D great [01:19] Jordan_U: oh wait, nm, thats to upgrade from grub1 [01:19] Yoshi1: are you connecting from linux version to the windows version, are you using gtk vnc viewer, need more info [01:19] hello, i installed karmic koala today and the notification system is rather annoying (on a netbook). how do i go about disabling this? [01:19] Yoshi1: tightvncserver , install that on both machines [01:19] yUraKeshi: ok well even if you could unlock it, the code doesnt exist. so um...i guess you could write a patch and send it to gnome...or...give up. [01:19] i have yet to find a solution [01:20] DasEi: the compiling is done [01:20] Cyber_Akuma_2: Just before youi run grub-install run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and unckeck all drives so that grub upgrades don't re-install grub using bisdisk instead of ata [01:20] plitter: sudo checkinstall [01:20] Jordan_U: sorry, but im confused, where is the reinstall gru section? I only see one for migrating from grub1 to grub2 [01:20] Cyber_Akuma_2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202via%20LiveCD [01:20] maco, maybe when i learn i little more about linux i will ^^ [01:21] dtchen: so install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and then /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf >>options snd-hda-intel model=auto? [01:21] plitter:deb biuld ? [01:21] deb [01:21] plitter: yes, that's a workaround [01:22] plitter: backports ?? [01:22] DasEi: Should I create a default set of package docs? ? [01:22] maco: do the symlinks for `which firefox` check out? [01:22] anyone know how to disable osd-notify [01:22] plitter: if you want to read them [01:22] dtchen: yep: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-11-25 09:28 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.5 [01:22] is there an easy way to get a sound feedback in a bash script? beep or something? but not over pc-speaker but sound-device [01:23] Subby83: aplay ? [01:23] hi all! [01:23] what's the time there? [01:23] :) [01:23] Subby83: beep it is [01:23] DasEi: nahh [01:23] Subby83: not reliably, and not until 2.6.33 is released. [01:23] Subby83: mplayer [01:23] maco: I meant following the symlinks [01:23] DasEi: backports are supposed to have new patches, but might not be stable, i think:P [01:23] Jordan_U: are you kidding? ;) [01:24] Syco54645: gnome-stracciatella-session doesnt use notify-osd, but thats not the netbook remix. [01:24] plitter: that package is not from karmic-backports [01:24] DasEi: Installing Debian package... FAILED! [01:24] plitter: nope, backports are recent items, for some older hw [01:24] DasEi: i jkeep getting a security type error [01:24] is the checksum for this file correct? ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc.iso = fa2c5eb18dfb2e82fffa661fac75a240 [01:24] dtchen: What will change with 2.6.33 ? [01:24] DasEi: / plitter: it is from karmic/universe proper. I asked for it to be added specifically because we need hardware enablement. [01:24] DasEi: beep does not work. man beep tells me that it goes over pc-speaker... [01:24] I'm interested in burning and trying it out, but not without a checksum, the page doesn't have checksum. [01:24] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [01:24] dtchen: /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.5/firefox.sh that looks right [01:25] dtchen: I see [01:25] are there any other variants than kubuntu, edubuntu and xubuntu? [01:25] Jordan_U: we've unified the beep drivers [01:25] Al2O3: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/MD5SUMS [01:25] Al2O3: o sorry no powerpc [01:25] yep, seems a slight oversite [01:25] slimjimflim: fluxbuntu, mythbuntu, ubuntu studio... [01:25] slimjimflim: UNR? [01:25] plitter: sudo apt-get install autoconf [01:26] slimjimflim: kubuntu netbook edition [01:26] oh, i just found a wiki on it [01:26] ty [01:26] Billiard: its not on there because its not a canonical supported arch [01:26] DasEi: done [01:26] slimjimflim: ubuntu, ubuntu-studio... and so on [01:27] maco: yeah i didnt realize he wanted powerpc at first [01:27] note, seems the ppc image I have (iso) is like 739 megs, not fit for a standard CD, is that normal? [01:27] Billiard: aplay does the job, thanks! [01:27] slimjimflim: and then a variety of distros settling on ubuntu core, though no ubuntu-distros [01:27] Dasei do you like ubuntu-studio? [01:27] Subby83: np [01:27] I would think that all bootable images were going to be 700 or less for users, so DVDs wouldn't be needed. [01:27] anybody else have experience w/ it? [01:27] Al2O3: its possible its a dvd iso [01:27] i do a lot of audio work [01:27] maco: fresh install? you could install xulrunner-1.9.1-dbg and firefox-3.5-dbg and use firefox --debug [01:28] dtchen: ugh [01:28] i've always used xubuntu or the standard ubunti [01:28] u [01:28] dtchen: yes, installed last night [01:28] ok, that is weird though at 739 megs, not much bigger than a cd. [01:28] dtchen: at 3am [01:28] slimjimflim: I used for a try, I'm no musician or painter, but for that it has major advantages [01:28] hmm [01:28] Al2O3: ubuntu studio is the same way [01:28] well i think i'm gonna try it [01:28] DasEi: tightvnc gives the same error server didnt offer the security type [01:28] maco: strace -fF, then, please [01:29] plitter: sudo autoconf [01:29] going to try and burn the iso ppc 9.10 to a dvd-r [01:29] DasEi: done [01:29] on os x disk utility :) [01:29] Yoshi1: what are you trying to do ? [01:29] plitter: sudo checkinstall [01:29] connect to osx vnc ? [01:29] linxeh: use vnc to access my desktop from a laptop [01:29] linxeh: the laptop is windows the desktop is ubuntu [01:30] oh, my bad then - ignore me :) [01:30] Yoshi1: you can ping one machine from the other ? [01:31] DasEi: still fail http://pastebin.com/m2cb67489 [01:31] DasEi: yep laptop pings desktop [01:32] maco: msg me the pastebin url; I'm offline very, very shortly [01:32] dtchen: ok [01:32] plitter: did th eupgrade install a new kernel ? [01:32] DasEi: not that i know of [01:33] plitter: sudo make install [01:33] looks like a black friday (pre) sale on 1.5TB WD at new egg [01:33] 89 bucks. [01:33] limit 1 [01:33] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136351 [01:34] Subby83: If the script is run in gnome-shell then sending a beep sequence to stdout should cause a system beep ( your alert sound, not pcspkr ) [01:34] I need to get python2.6 installed on hardy 8.04.3. I tried adding the backport repos but that didnt work. any ideas? [01:34] DasEi: it didnt produce any errors [01:34] the whole caviar green stuff makes me puke.

[01:35] plitter: so installed then, though no deb for easy removal, but nothing to worry about; sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [01:35] Subby83: Do you hear a sound when you backspace to far in bash? [01:35] DasEi: yeah laptop can ping the desktop [01:35] DasEi: thanks:) [01:35] DasEi: thats it? [01:36] plitter: yes [01:36] Jordan_U: no but i think I deactivated that in terminal profile options, if beep uses this too, i don't wonder anymore :) [01:37] Subby83: beep uses pcspkr wich is disabled by default in 9.10 [01:37] !sound [01:37] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:37] DasEi: in that case, thank you very much:D [01:37] Subby83: "echo -e \\a" in gnome-terminal will by default use the system alert sound [01:37] Jordan_U: so, my question was to have something not using pc-speaker :) [01:38] Jordan_U: but I think aplay works fine for me === nosrepa is now known as aperson [01:38] So, what happens with gnome-do now? I use do, but not docky. To continue getting "support" (i.e. updates), do I need to do anything special? [01:39] Does anyone know how to get python2.6 on ubuntu 8.04.3 hardy LTS? thanks [01:39] DasEi: can i uninstall the folder in /usr/src? [01:39] DasEi: i cant find where to configure the tightvncserver security type on windows or linux [01:40] DasEi: or is that needed for alsa? [01:42] plitter: leave it there for future needs, but can remove d/l from desktop and the tarball in /usr/src [01:43] plitter: the modules are stored there, only some of them are needed (changing with hardware) === imlad|away is now known as imlad [01:44] Yoshi1: sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer [01:44] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. I tried to install awn-manager but it won't run! then i installed awn-settings, witch runs but do not accept the theme i wanna use. Any ideas?? [01:44] Yoshi1: start the server on the machine you want to remote on, give it a password === crohakon is now known as crohakon|afk [01:45] after upgrading to 9.10, my kde applications (now kde4) don't have window borders :( -- I have no window buttons (minimize, maximize, etc) [01:45] gandalfcome: http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/10/installing-python-26-source-ubuntu-hardy/ [01:45] Yoshi1: start xtightvncviewer on the client side, enter ip [01:46] anybody know win 7 download page?

[01:47] yusuf: ##windows [01:48] yusuf: dude i only use windows because i dont have a partition changer and the laptop came with it [01:48] Yoshi1: tightvncserver if you want to remote it from the lappi [01:48] though i could use the wubi installer [01:48] and i think i will [01:48] DasEi: when i do the command cat /proc/asound/version i get "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20.", didnt we just install the 1.0.21? [01:48] hello [01:48] i m using Ubunut now. Bur also i am using Virtulabox [01:49] DasEi: the xtightvncclient goes on the desktop and the server runs on the lappy to connect to the desktop?

[01:52] DasEi: yes [01:52] DasEi: i run the server on the desktop but the laptop cant connect says wrong security type [01:52] Yoshi1: so the desk will act as server and the lappi as client [01:52] Quick question: I just ran updates on my IBM T42 running 9.10, and all of a sudden my trackpad stopped working. Anybody have any idea why that would be? [01:53] i cannot find the general irc help channel. please guide me. will not deviate from topic again. humble thanks. [01:54] BenFrank: #freenode [01:54] DasEi: correct [01:54] Jordan U: many thanks [01:54] BenFrank: np [01:55] okay, i stopped using empathy for irc, seems that xchat is much better ;) [01:55] Yoshi1: I just tried that, no problem here, (two ubuntu, though) what's the exact error message ? [01:55] so when i upgraded to 9.10, wlan0 dissapeared [01:55] DasEi: security type not offered by server [01:56] Yoshi1: http://www.tightvnc.com/download/1.3.10/tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe [01:56] for the lappi [01:56] how do request a DNS record from the authority, skipping all the caches? [01:56] DasEi: yes i installed that on windows [01:57] How do I change the default path for sudo? [01:57] Tommi: thats compiled in [01:57] I want it to check /opt/blahblah/bin [01:57] hrm, i see [01:57] Tommi: for security reasons [01:57] i installed a ruby interpeter somewhere funky [01:57] i see [01:57] so just enter full path? [01:57] DasEi: i already installed that on the lappi [01:58] Tommi: You can set the path with an option to sudo [01:58] What is the syntax, if you don't mind me asking? [01:58] ah, -i? [02:00] does anyone know of a program to send video from webcam to another computer? [02:00] Tommi: -i takes you to the same as "su -" would on a system with root access [02:00] Tommi, sudo -i ? [02:00] Yoshi1: I'm getting tired now, for what purpose do you need it ? [02:00] hrm, i see, so not 'i' [02:00] Tommi, simulates login. [02:00] DasEi: well mostly to access whats on my desktop for when i go to school. i'll google it though [02:00] alright, appears to be related to sudoers.. [02:01] lemme read some more of this man page [02:01] DasEi: can you type my name, so I see xchat is configured as i want it to be? :) [02:01] Subby: [02:01] hrm [02:01] odd [02:01] it just ingnores my update path variable [02:01] Tommi, sudo -s is exactly the same as sudo -i, except that variables from your user login are carried over. [02:02] ah [02:02] perfect [02:02] that is what i need, i think [02:02] hrm, or not [02:02] ok === crohakon|afk is now known as crohakon [02:02] Tommi: -i and -s are both for getting root shells [02:02] although, I think the "env reset" option in sudoers nullifies that. ;) [02:02] so i modified my PATH variable in /etc/environment [02:02] Tommi: im pretty sure sudo's path cant be changed though [02:02] does anyone know how to get my wireless back? [02:02] I see [02:02] ok [02:02] the card worked with wicd before 9.10 [02:02] it makes sense [02:03] i guess i can add a sym link [02:03] Yoshi1: for that can have a samba share, too, though it's just me being lazy; next try would be to get latest tightvncserver-software and build it from source, few months ago that still worked, the other way round [02:03] hrm [02:03] Tommi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:03] Tommi: because i remembr a bug report about it not containing /usr/bin/kde4/ and i patched it to do so [02:03] and "lshw -C network" shows the card === aperson is now known as APERSON [02:03] Yoshi1: ^on the desktop-side [02:03] DasEi: nah it is a problem with my lack of knowledge of how to launch a tightvnc server properly. hence the googling [02:03] !samba | yoshi1 [02:03] yoshi1: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[02:03] It is just a bit annoying, because it kind of means you need to install everything in /usr/bin/ [02:03] but i guess it helps with security [02:04] Hrm... anyone have any idea why my trackpad would stop working? [02:04] Tommi: by the way, you change your own user's environment variables in ~/.bashrc [02:05] Fr0: pressed the "turn off trackpad" button?

[02:07] Yoshi1: you set up samba server on the desk, then use add networkdrive in windows, that's it [02:07] * DasEi off for some time [02:07] oh yes, samba is nifty [02:08] DasEi: soubds mucho simple sleep well DasEi and thanks for all the help today man you saved my butt [02:08] nah, I grew my trojan-farm, ;-) [02:08] have fun [02:11] I am not able to use the screen command. Do I need to do some key bindings on ubuntu before utilising the screen command ? [02:11] vikasap: what happens when you use it? [02:12] can anyone help? [02:12] lstarnes: The manual says C-a c should create a new screen ... But Ctrl-a c in my case does not [02:12] i'm trying to play a game through wine is there a channel i can go to fro specific help? [02:12] vikasap: that works for me [02:12] it works with wicd on 9.04 [02:12] i've got a ubuntu computer connected via ethernet - is it possible to turn it into an adhoc wifi point? [02:13] lstarnes: Should I hit the "c" key after pressing down the "Ctrl" and the "a" key ? [02:14] vikasap: press ctrl+a, release it, then press c [02:14] lstarnes: No luck [02:14] vikasap: try ctrl-a ctrl-c [02:15] lstarnes: Nope [02:15] is anyone else finding firefox3.5 really slow after upgrading to 9.10? [02:15] vikasap: what about ctrl+a ? [02:15] What does your .screenrc file say ? [02:15] vikasap: 1) you must already be running in screen 2) some terminal emulators don't really like it, perhaps they use a different escape key? try esc, c? [02:15] it actually looks like network access period [02:16] vikasap: http://pastebin.com/f56ee573f [02:16] ok this is going to be more complicated then i thought anyone have an easy manual for setting up samba so windows can access a linux system? [02:16] Does anyone know if there is a bootloader that'll run from the EFI on a MAC (OS X)? I want to make a live usb that'll work on my Parent's iMAC, but I don't think it's possible. [02:16] I know syslinux and grub don't work [02:16] Moult: [02:17] lstarnes: I have my .screenrc blank :) [02:17] vikasap: .screenrc is not the problem [02:18] Moult: I have .screen-profiles too [02:18] vikasap: unrelated. most likely it's your terminal emulator - what are you using? [02:18] what's the easiest way for me to try out kernel 2.6.32? I want to try it under Hyper-V to see how well the linux integration components work... [02:18] Moult: Gnome Terminal 2.6 [02:19] i get my internet wirelessly, and have an in house ethernet network to stream to my tv and the likes. well everytime i plugin my ethernet cable, jaunty automagically switches over and I lose DNS and cant connect to the net. How can i have my wireless on wlan0 not be affected by eth0, but they both work independently?? [02:19] vikasap: that shouldn't be a problem - did you try esc then c? perhaps your keyboard layout is nonstandard? [02:20] mcurran: http://refit.sourceforge.net/ , hope it helps [02:20] Moult: I did ... I have a Lenovo T400 [02:20] Moult: Must be a standard keyboard [02:21] can anyone explain how my wireless card is noticed by "lshw -C network" and yet not connected to wlan0? [02:21] glaeven: it might be attached to a different interface. check ifconfig -a [02:21] vikasap: are you connected remotely? [02:22] Moult: Nope ...

[02:25] vikasap: yeah try [02:25] chemjeff: prolly need to add the key first. try this - sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com [02:26] is there a way to capture the video stream from skype? [02:26] Moult: Nope...Doesnt work [02:27] chemjeff: hopefully you understand the bit .. no <> required [02:27] velcroshoo, what is the key that I am supposed to add? [02:27] velcroshoo, no I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put there [02:27] vikasap: does any other C-a command work? like C-a " or C-a w etc? [02:27] chemjeff, you need to create a gpg key [02:27] chemjeff: is it not listed in the instructions your following? [02:27] Hello - I just set up the ubuntu server. How do I gain access to root? I do not recall entering a password for root. [02:28] !root | Lustra [02:28] Lustra: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:28] !sudo | Lustra we don't use the root account [02:28] Moult: How do I do it ? Press "Ctrl" "a" and "w" together ? [02:28] Lustra we don't use the root account: 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) [02:28] velcroshoo, no, I'm following this web page: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic [02:28] chemjeff: lemme look [02:28] thx [02:28] Moult: Anyhow, all combinations seem not to work :) [02:28] vikasap: press ctrl and a together, release both of them, then press w afterwards. or you can do C-a ", which is press ctrl and a together, release both of them, then press " (that's shift ' ) [02:28] spridel, how do I create a gpg key? And is this the canonical.com key that I need to unlock the canonical repository? [02:29] spridel, the idea here is to add the canonical.com repository [02:29] chemjeff: okay what step are you on? [02:29] velcroshoo, I am at "Add Extra Ubuntu Repositories" [02:29] (on the howto) [02:29] okay' [02:30] Jordan_U: you still there? [02:30] chemjeff: i'll let velcroshoo he seems to have a handle on what your doing [02:30] Cyber_Akuma_2: Yes [02:30] Moult: No luck [02:30] how can i drag and select in ubuntu [02:30] Jordan_U: im having a bit of trouble with that tutorial [02:30] like..click and drag over an area that selects all the items [02:30] i want [02:31] Cyber_Akuma_2: Like what? [02:32] vikasap: try put into your .screenrc `escape ^x` [02:32] Moult: Ctrl -l works pretty nicely for me ... All other Ctrl - d and Ctrl -c work for me [02:32] Hi folks. For some reason I can't get sshd to run at startup. I followed these directions but still not luck: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ Any idea? [02:32] Moult: with those ticks ? [02:32] vikasap: actually before that, try ctrl-a twice then c, or ctrl-a a c [02:32] vikasap: no, not with those ticks [02:33] Jordan_U: The part where it says "mount the rest of your devices" just gives me the error "mount point /mnt/dev does not exist", the "sudo chroot /mnt" command says "cannot run /bin/bash no such file or directory" and sudo update-grub just says "cannot find device for /" [02:33] havent tried goin farther [02:33] going* [02:33] Cyber_Akuma_2: You mounted the wrong partition to /mnt [02:33] chemjeff: i do not see a canonical address in the section your talking about. if your dealing with ubuntu, it should be an ubuntu.com address, not canonical [02:33] Cyber_Akuma_2: You should have mounted your "/" partition to /mnt [02:34] Moult: No luck with those [02:34] Cyber_Akuma_2: And if you have one your /boot partition to /mnt/boot [02:34] message144: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html [02:34] velcroshoo, I don't see an address either, so how can I add the canonical archives? [02:34] oh damn, yeah, seems I mounted my windows partition instead [02:34] vikasap: what about the screenrc one? [02:34] how do I unmount it [02:34] Moult: That did not work as well ... [02:35] Cyber_Akuma_2: sudo umount /mnt [02:35] hi all [02:35] vikasap: right did you do C-x c after changing screenrc or did you keep on doing C-a c? [02:35] thanks, could have sworn it used to be unmount [02:35] Moult: :D [02:35] td123, i am well familiar with configuring sshd.. it is already configured properly and runs when manually executed. i just cant get it to run at startup [02:35] chemjeff: you need to follow the section that says 'Adding repositories to synaptic package manager' [02:36] what's the easiest way for me to try out kernel 2.6.32? I want to try it under Hyper-V to see how well the linux integration components work... [02:36] velcroshoo I did that, and I added it to the package manager but I don't know how to include the key [02:36] need help in getting my sound working again, aplay -l dosent work, but lsp grp does show the motherboard sound controller [02:36] vikasap: ? [02:36] Moult: Doesnt work now [02:36] vikasap: which, C-x c? [02:36] Moult: Yeah [02:37] Jordan_U: the part where it says "Now you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file to fit your system", do I need to do anything? Ubuntu installer should have configured that right? [02:37] Cyber_Akuma_2: You don't need to do anything there [02:37] vikasap: ok, try open up xterm and try screen with that [02:37] Jordan_U: thought so, thanks [02:37] chemjeff: okay so your following me do you see the sub-heading 'Add repository keys'? [02:38] velcroshoo, yes [02:38] !sound [02:38] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [02:38] Jordan_U: the update command says that there is no such directory in /proc/mountrs and that it can't find the list of partitions now [02:38] Sorry im being so problomeatic [02:38] Moult: I did this : $xterm ... $screen [02:38] And it got a new screen [02:39] Moult: But the key bindings wont work [02:39] vikasap: run the command `xterm`. a new terminal will open up. in that terminal, run `screen`. then try C-x c [02:39] Cyber_Akuma_2: You don't need to run update-grub [02:40] ok [02:40] velcroshoo, but I don't know what the key is for the canonical archive [02:40] Jordan_U: so now im at the custom command you told me to use? [02:40] Cyber_Akuma_2: Yes [02:41] chemjeff: okay we want the bottom line that says - 'sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEY' then it says where KEY is the missing key code printed in apt-get output, e.g. EF4186FE247510BE. that may not be the correct key, you should try running apt-get for something specifically on that repository, and it should give you the key to input. [02:41] Cyber_Akuma_2: grub-install --disk-module=ata /dev/sda [02:41] chemjeff: then you just replace 'KEY' in the syntax with the correct key [02:41] Cyber_Akuma_2: Then you also need to run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and uncheck all of your drives [02:42] I've tried putting two different sata cards in a ubuntu box and it does not pick up either card. i do not even see in dmesg anything about the card. neither of the cards logos prompts during boot. this box did have an sata controller card in the past and used it just fine. any ideas? [02:42] Jordan_U: oops, I ran it at /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda, would it be ok if I re-ran the command with /dev/sda? [02:42] velcroshoo, well wait a minute, the package is actually installing but I didn't add any key [02:42] Cyber_Akuma_2: It should have complained and done nothing with /dev/sda2 [02:42] velcroshoo, how can that be? [02:43] Cyber_Akuma_2: Unless you used -f [02:44] vikasap: if that still doesn't work i'm running out of ideas. sorry. [02:44] Jordan_U: yeah, id didn't use -f, it said "installing grub to a partition instead of MBR, this is a BAD idea!" [02:44] nice humor XD === cB- is now known as cB [02:45] chemjeff: packages will install regardless of key .. the gpg key is just a proper way of verifying i guess to make it simple. i imagine even though its installing your getting key errors. [02:45] Jordan_U: I ned to fix grub-pc first, I tried to update it and it failed, how do I undo my attempt to update it? [02:45] need* [02:46] Cyber_Akuma_2: What exactly did you do and what error are you getting? [02:46] Used the synaptic package manager to mark it for upgrade, but it failed because I didn't configure it at installtime [02:47] hey all, how do I start Ubuntu in console mode ? [02:47] ries: Hold shift at boot and choose "recovery mode" [02:47] !boot | ries [02:47] ries: 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 [02:47] Jordan_U: what runlevel is that? [02:47] velcroshoo, okay I see the problem now - i was trying to install the adobe-flashplugin package from the canonical repository - I wasn't able to so I thought I needed a key - but it turns out the package is only available for 32 bit not 64 bit so I can't download it anyway [02:47] 3? [02:48] ries: if you want a console on a system that is up just hot alt-f1 [02:48] ries: recovery mode is 1, see the link from ubottu for how to prevent gdm from starting at boot [02:48] ok, thanks [02:48] ries: np [02:49] chemjeff: ah okay. i believe 64 bit already comes with the adobe plugin, but i may be wrong [02:49] ries: make that ctl-alt-f1 === imlad is now known as imlad|away [02:49] i use ubuntu 9.10 as a nas with samba shares. but i cannot ping or connect to my nas by using its hostname. ip works fine though. if i restart samba it works with hostname. but i need it to just work without having to login and restart samba manually. any ideas ? [02:49] Jordan_U: did I mess up? [02:49] velcroshoo, it does but it doesn't work right for me - I cannot play embedded flash videos in Firefox 3.5.5 - do you know if the 32 bit version will work? [02:50] Hello. I am trying to mount a IMG file at /media/loop with the command: 'sudo mount -o loop /path/to/img /media/loop' And it keeps telling me that I need to "specify filesystem type". Could anyone elaborate on this please? [02:50] chemjeff: i am really not a big flash user so i couldnt say. sorry. [02:50] ok thx [02:50] Hi [02:50] I just installed karmic koala [02:50] and when trying to run Blender 3D, [02:51] I am given the error "Segmentation fault" [02:51] Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:52] swearingworth: did you install blender from the repos? [02:52] what is the very first thing one would do upon a fresh install to guard against mal...anything? im tired of googling. i want to ASK someone. [02:52] swaj: [02:52] hi guys, how do you fix this apt-get update error? The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [02:52] Yeah. [02:53] swearingworth: Looks like some vga drivers problem [02:53] chea: What file system is it? [02:53] chea: Just .img could mean almost anything [02:53] BenFrank: I put together a virus removal boot disk, installed adblock into firefox and called it good [02:53] I've tried putting two different sata cards in a ubuntu box and it does not pick up either card. i do not even see in dmesg anything about the card. neither of the cards logos prompts during boot. this box did have an sata controller card in the past and used it just fine. any ideas? [02:53] BenFrank: first thing is in a terminal.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ... as far as protecting your machine.. not much.. windows viri and whatnot just doesn't work in linux [02:53] Ok. thanks.. [02:53] Jordan_U: I wouldn't know really. Is there any way to check this? Or should I resort to google.. [02:54] chea: Try "file /path/to/file.img". Where did the image come from? [02:54] BenFrank: yeah there aren't so many bugs that can get you, but you still need to look out for browser attacks, flash security holes etc... all depends on what you add and use [02:54] BenFrank: Here is a nice explanation about Linux and viruses: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/02/linux-and-viruses.html [02:55] Jordan_U: Not sure if I am at liberty to say with channel regulations.. [02:55] Jordan_U: I did a file check on the img, and it said "data". [02:55] scunizi and Snausages, if i could past to you what i have discussed elswhere, you would see how i have a reason to believe it could not be that simple [02:55] but if you say that, i will do that [02:56] ardchoille: i will read that . thank you [02:56] okay, I think I am proving how little I know here. I am trying to setup a shared directory on my Ubuntu 9.10 system and have it mounted at boot on my laptop (also ubuntu 9.10) I can't get the fstab to mount the share. I keep getting an error about needing a helper app. What am I missing? [02:56] if i will be doing alot of talking and file transfering on irc [02:56] then what [02:56] chea: Is it an image of a video DVD? [02:56] Jordan_U: It's a game. [02:56] BenFrank: That article I linked will answer a lot of your questions [02:57] Anyone have any recommendation on how to speed up CD ripping? I'm getting 2x in Rhythmbox Karmic [02:57] i just wish i could download all this information into my brain [02:57] mbeierl: ripperx [02:57] BenFrank: you can.. by reading :) [02:57] ok, ardchoille. thank you for your guidance [02:57] yw [02:58] i have gathered enough infor for a few hours of research [02:58] see ya in a little bit [02:58] scunizi: ripperx isn't working with cddb for me, and it's reporting that it's going slow too for some reason... [02:58] BenFrank: it's a steep learning curve in the beginning but then you level out until you discover some new project to tackel .. like a web server, ftp.. streaming a/v server etc. [02:58] mbeierl: its POSSIBLE, and i meant the caps, that dma is not turned on, especially if its an older drive. man hdparm [02:58] mbeierl: maybe amorak ... it's kde but liked by many [02:59] Jordan_U: so did I mess up? or can I fix this? [02:59] velcroshoo: newer laptop / built in cd drive - will check :) [02:59] Cyber_Akuma_2: What exactly did you do and what error are you getting? [02:59] mbeierl: then my guess is thats not it but at least your aware [02:59] velcroshoo: thanks! [03:01] velcroshoo: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device ... it's /dev/sr0, so I think it might be sdparm that I need now... [03:01] I tried to update grub-pc through synaptic package manager [03:01] scunizi:i should have done this long ago (five years linux, no years windows)...i have lot of reading to do, and you guys have set me on a new path. i hope to contribute and be a good mentor like the people i ran into today. have a great holiday, everybody [03:01] its saying that the package is broken or not fully installed now [03:01] how can I undo it? [03:01] what's the easiest way for me to try out kernel 2.6.32? I want to try it under Hyper-V to see how well the linux integration components work... [03:02] download the source from kernel.org and do make oldconfig from the source directory [03:02] Cyber_Akuma_2: Please include me nick so I don't miss your messages [03:02] I tried make menuconfig, but it has some dependency I had trouble getting [03:03] ooo. ripperx is reporting total time remaining for the cd is 390 minutes... That's got to be wrong [03:03] Does anybody know if grub2-efi bootloader works, or do you still need to use refit on a HFS partition to get a live usb working on a MAC [03:04] Jordan_U: sorry, I tried to update grub-pc through synaptic package manager, its saying that the package is broken or not fully installed now, how can I undo my update attempt? [03:04] Cyber_Akuma_2: In another shell ( another terminal window ) run "sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc" "sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys" [03:04] Cyber_Akuma_2: From the LiveCD? [03:05] Jordan_U: Think I fixed it, thanks for the help! [03:05] chea: np [03:05] Jordan_U: yeah, I tried to update it on the livecd [03:05] Cyber_Akuma_2: Synaptic on the LiveCD doesn't change anything since the Live System is running in RAM [03:06] yeah I know, it only tried to update it in memory [03:06] Cyber_Akuma_2: We are using the grub installed to your hard drive so the grub installed on the LiveCD doesn't matter [03:06] oh [03:06] Cyber_Akuma_2: Still run the two commands I gave you [03:06] I undid the chmod thing [03:06] Cyber_Akuma_2: You mean chroot? [03:07] Jordan_U: yeah, it said to use control+d to exit [03:08] How do I view the logs of my init/startup process so I can see why one of my startup scripts is not properly executing? [03:08] Anyone know if there is a way to modify the cdparanoia settings for rhythmbox? I can't get ripperx to look up tracks in cddb for me :( [03:08] Jordan_U: so I should re-run those first two mount commands then teh chroot command? [03:08] Jordan_U: and then type the command you gave me? [03:09] Cyber_Akuma_2: run "sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc" "sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys" then chroot again [03:11] Jordan_U: I unmounted everything though [03:12] Cyber_Akuma_2: Then mount everything including the two new mount commands I gave then chroot again [03:12] ok [03:13] Or anyone familiar with ripperx and cddb? [03:14] Ok I installed ubuntu but I cannot get the broadcom wireless adapter on my HP Tx2z to work what can I do? I am dual booting with win7 and it works under win7 [03:14] why do i have to register to get in here now [03:15] Jordan_U: ok, an installer came up, I run the dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc command, its asking me ot verify the command I used [03:15] Jordan_U: I was supposed to run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc while chrooted right? [03:17] Cyber_Akuma_2: Yes, keep the default answers for everything but what drive to install to, for that uncheck everything [03:18] i have karmic on my laptop, how can i make the cpu scaling go to performance on boot, ondemand sucks [03:18] Jordan_U: keep the version locally modified? [03:18] Jordan_U: sorry, i mean locally installed [03:19] Cyber_Akuma_2: Depends on what file and why you changed it [03:19] Cyber_Akuma_2: Most likely you want to keep the local version [03:19] Jordan_U: I didnt make any changes myself, if there were changes, the ubuntu installer made them [03:20] i use 9.10 on my nas. i cannot connect via hostname unless i manually log in and restart samba after boot. connecting wia ip works fine. how can i fix this ? [03:20] Jordan_U: ok, so im at the part where its asking me what drive to install to, its only listing a single drive, "/dev/sda" im supposed to make sure this is UNchecked? [03:21] Cyber_Akuma_2: Yes [03:21] 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? [03:21] hi there, how to find out if my system is i386 or i686 ??? [03:21] Jordan_U: ok, though im confused where it would be installing to then [03:21] done [03:21] dang3rou5: system, or OS? [03:21] heres hoping it works when i reboot [03:21] Cyber_Akuma_2: no [03:22] Cyber_Akuma_2: You need to run grub-install first [03:22] ok [03:22] Jordan_U: run grub install while still in chroot? [03:22] Ben64, my system meaning hardware, i have installed i686 i think i was suppose to install i386, i dont know the difference ?? [03:22] Cyber_Akuma_2: Yes, "grub-install --disk-module=ata /dev/sda" [03:23] dang3rou5, if you have a pentium or better, i686 would work [03:23] Jordan_U: I did that command before I did the grub-update one [03:23] Cyber_Akuma_2: Ok, then yes try rebooting [03:23] Jordan_U: ARGH, sorry sorry, I meant I did it before I did the reconfigure command [03:24] Ben64, my laptop is two year old it is intel celeron MMx === elapse is now known as Prodego [03:24] Cyber_Akuma_2: same [03:24] ok [03:24] I can't get my smb share to mount through fstab. Error says I need a helper program? [03:24] dang3rou5, you sure? "Intel Celeron MMx" sounds old. What speed is it? [03:25] dang3rou5, actually, give me the model of the laptop [03:25] Jordan_U: huh......, now it just says "GRUB loading." and stays there [03:25] hi [03:25] Ben64, Acer TravelMate 2303NLC, 1.5 Ghz, 400Mhz something [03:26] i have two user accounts and i use encrypted home directory my goal is to use ubuntu one to backup the entire home directory in encrypted form so when i log in to the other user account how would i have to set permissions to do this, and how would i restore the file [03:26] Cyber_Akuma_2: Do you still have a separate /boot partition? [03:26] dang3rou5, thats the model of the battery :) [03:26] Jordan_U: no, but the boot screen JUST came up..... but my keyboard isn't responding now [03:26] How can i know which partition -sda1, sda2,.. - my Operation system install? [03:27] Jordan_U: it seems to be working, but theres a few issues, first of all it sets my screen out of rance (until I turn it off and back on) and it also dosen't accept keyboard input... [03:27] Ben64, this is what i know Company ::Acer , Model :: TravelMate 2303NLC [03:27] range* [03:28] Cyber_Akuma_2: Is it booting successfully now? [03:28] How can i know which partition -sda1, sda2,.. - my Operation system install? [03:28] Jordan_U: yes, to ubuntu at least, didn't try windows yet because I can't change anything in the menu [03:28] dang3rou5, i686 is fine for that [03:28] Ben64, thnx [03:29] yusuf: If you are booted into the system then "mount" and look at what device is used for / [03:29] what can i type in Terminal? [03:29] <_Pb> i can only get into failsafe gnome, can someone take a look at my xsession-errors log and see if they can tell what's going on? http://pastie.org/715641 [03:29] Cyber_Akuma_2: Try holding shift during boot [03:29] yusuf: / is where your system lives.. /home if you have a seperate partition for that is where all your personal data lives. [03:29] yusuf: mount [03:30] my goal is to use ubuntu one to backup the entire home directory in encrypted form. i have two user accounts and i use encrypted home directory one is a priveledged user and the other account is unprivledged (the one thst i am backing up) so when i log into the priveledged account the other users home directory will be contained in one encrypted file. so when i log in to the priveledged account how would i have to set permissions to do this, and [03:30] how would i restore the file? [03:30] my system setup in c: [03:30] yusuf: maybe your windows system.. but not your linux system.. [03:30] yusuf: unless you installed with wubi.. did you do that? [03:31] i install Ubuntu [03:31] using wubi? or did you partition your drive for a true dual boot? [03:31] First i installed Windows than i installed Ubunut [03:31] scunizi: It's like painfully pulling teeth [03:31] not using Wubi , i used iso CD [03:31] yusuf: k.. then type.. mount .. in terminal [03:32] i typed mount there [03:32] it disappear many thing [03:32] i use 9.10 on my nas. i cannot connect via hostname unless i manually log in and restart samba after boot. connecting wia ip works fine. how can i fix this ? [03:32] genii: no kidding [03:32] yusuf: try .. fdisk -l [03:32] ok [03:32] i m trying [03:33] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [03:33] /dev/sda1 1 192 1536000 27 Unknown [03:33] Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

[03:34] yes [03:34] ok [03:34] Jordan_U: ill try holding shift as soon as ubuntu is done updating, do I hold it during port or when grub comes up? [03:38] !netsplit [03:40] whats with the big poof? [03:40] how can i know where is Windows installed? [03:40] yusuf: "sudo os-prober" [03:40] ok Jordan [03:40] I am trying to set up a user mountable cifs share to mount at boot using fstab. It says only root can do it but I have the user option in fstab. [03:41] what is a netsplit? [03:41] did we just go through one? [03:41] how do i set up xastir to use a pharos gps-500 ? [03:41] Jordan: thanks [03:41] !netsplit > RickJames [03:41] RickJames, please see my private message [03:41] BenFrank: Yep. [03:41] ah [03:41] !netsplit [03:41] 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.

[03:42] my goal is to use ubuntu one to backup the entire home directory in encrypted form. i have two user accounts and i use encrypted home directory one is a priveledged user and the other account is unprivledged (the one thst i am backing up) so when i log into the priveledged account the other users home directory will be contained in one encrypted file. so when i log in to the priveledged account how would i have to set permissions to do this, and [03:42] how would i restore the file?

[03:48] scunizi: yes, with just cdparanoia turned off, not with extra turned off.

I am dual booting with win7 and it works under win7 [03:50] I've made a GUI in Glade, but when I use it with Python, the resulting window squishes the widgets together (as opposed to how it looked in the Glade window).

How can I fix this? [03:54] I've had a wireless connection problem the last few days, with no avail to fixing it. I am running 9.10. I am using a WUSB54G USB Adapter, and trying to connect to an Airport Extreme Base station with WPA2 Security. I can see the network, but it won't actually connect. Any Ideas? [03:54] Actually first do an update using the Update Manager, just to make sure the hardware drivers detection is the most recent possible [03:54] and I'm using plain ol' Ubuntu [03:54] :| [03:54] VaultDweller: that shouldnt make a difference... [03:55] when ur done [03:55] Jordan_U: holding down shift worked, but grub still causesmy display to go out of range and takes about 1-2 minutes at the "grub loading" screen until it loads [03:55] VaultDweller: you should only have to type startkde [03:55] VaultDweller: and that SHOULD take care of it [03:55] VaultDweller: if i'm correct [03:56] Anyone here familiar with Python and GTK? [03:56] VaultDweller: or on the login screen change "sessions" to kde4 [03:56] <_Pb> can someone help me? i can only log in using gnome failsafe mode [03:56] _Pb: Can you give more details please? [03:56] is there a way to poll a serial to usb device to see which com port it's been assigned? [03:57] RickJames: are you plugging the thing into a usb port or a db9/25 [03:57] <_Pb> Archanamiya: i fiddled with my xorg.conf and installed a few different window managers [03:57] <_Pb> this is my .xsession-errors file: http://pastie.org/715641 [03:57] _Pb: Crap. Do you have a live CD? [03:57] scunizi, it's a usb serial adapter, but it's a usb device [03:57] <_Pb> yes [03:57] _Pb: Good [03:57] i'm sorry, it's a gps. [03:58] Is anyone on here familiar with Wireless netowrking? please, i've spent 2 days on here trying to get help, and I've only had 1 person try to help. [03:58] evening all :) [03:58] I havent installed KDE [03:58] But I found out I need kdebase [03:58] :P [03:58] let me grab zat [03:58] VaultDweller: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:58] pharos gps-500 uses a serial interface to usb adapter to connect to the computer [03:58] How did I flood? [03:58] _Pb: ON SHI-. That's an epic error file :P [03:58] :| [03:58] <_Pb> really? agh [03:58] Zzarkc, ndswrapper ? [03:58] <_Pb> i've been reading ubuntu forum posts, apparently people with ATI cards have been having the same problems [03:58] _Pb: Define "several windows managers" [03:59] <_Pb> the thing is, I'm using an NVIDIA card [03:59] ohhh [03:59] RickJames: first open a terminal and type dmesg.. take a look at the last 10 line or so.. then plug in the device complete with what you want to attach to it.. repeat the command dmesg.. you should see the system recognize it and report on the port.. [03:59] anyone have experience with multiple desktops and the login window? I have one last issue before I consider my machine "complete" :) [03:59] RickJames For some reason I can't get it installed. It keeps giving me "Dependency not satisfied" error. [03:59] RickJames, did you try something like dmesg | grep tty or setserial -g /dev/ttyS* ? [03:59] <_Pb> Archanamiya: dwm, wmii, blackbox, i used gnome-settings-daemon to change blackbox to default [03:59] Blackbox [03:59] <_Pb> that's the last thing i did before it started breaking [03:59] hmm [03:59] metacity --replace [03:59] <_Pb> ok [03:59] did you uninstall anything? [04:00] <_Pb> no [04:00] good [04:00] try that command [04:00] Archanamiya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] <_Pb> just did [04:00] nothing? [04:00] <_Pb> should i log out and back in? [04:00] erm [04:00] yeah [04:00] <_Pb> something happened on the screen, it flickered [04:00] <_Pb> how can i check if i'm still in failsafe-mode/ [04:00] _Pb: Try restarting [04:00] <_Pb> ok [04:00] <_Pb> be back then [04:00] k [04:00] <_Pb> thanks a lot! [04:01] np [04:01] hope it works [04:01] Now then, I've made a GUI in Glade, but when I use it with Python, the resulting window squishes the widgets together (as opposed to how it looked in the Glade window). How can I fix this? [04:02] scunizi, that you, that was EXACTLY what i needed [04:02] i get my internet wirelessly, and have an in house ethernet network to stream to my tv and the likes. well everytime i plugin my ethernet cable, jaunty automagically switches over and I lose DNS and cant connect to the net. How can i have my wireless on wlan0 not be affected by eth0, but they both work independently?? (i am not talking about bridging) [04:02] Archanamiya: are you packing the widgets correctly? [04:02] comments are welcomed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8388430#post8388430 [04:02] RickJames: it was the only way I could figure out what port my usb fax modem was plugged into [04:03] ardchoille: I'm not entirely sure. I don't appear to have done anything wrong. :S [04:03] how do I change the position of the login screen (upon booting) so that it is not on monitor "1" but on monitor "0"? That's the only screen that flips and I'm using nVidia's drivers in the TwinView configuration... [04:03] I've had a wireless connection problem the last few days, with no avail to fixing it. I am running 9.10. I am using a WUSB54G USB Adapter, and trying to connect to an Airport Extreme Base station with WPA2 Security. I can see the network, but it won't actually connect. Any Ideas? Please, I'm starting to get desperate. [04:03] ardchoille: I've used the vbox and hboxes, but still, the window seems to be trying to be as small as possible [04:03] scunizi, it took right off working. now i've got to figure out how to make another usb to serial device work. it's a belkin serial adpater, but for now, one thing at a time [04:04] <_Pb> Archanamiya: nope, still have to boot in failsafe-gnome [04:04] _Pb: DAMN [04:04] _Pb: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:04] <_Pb> ok [04:04] _Pb: Make sure you have everything [04:04] Zzarkc: might just be the Airport Extreme.. they don't have that great of a rep.. [04:04] _Pb: Though I'm really at a lose for what to do. :S [04:04] <_Pb> Archanamiya: it's ok [04:04] Archanamiya: set the default window width and height in the Widget tab in the Properties window? [04:04] Is there any way to change the videomode that grub2 uses? Its causing some problems with my monitor. [04:05] ardchoille: I suppose. odd it can't automatically resize itself [04:05] <_Pb> Archanamiya: i read a suggestion to make a new user and login as that, but i can't create a new user now [04:05] oh well [04:05] scunizi I had been able to connect about 3 versions ago. I don't know why I can't connect now though. [04:05] _Pb: Why not? [04:05] <_Pb> yeah, everything is installed [04:05] Archanamiya: Also see the Resizable option [04:05] what about it? [04:05] _Pb: You could use the adduser [04:05] <_Pb> Archanamiya: i click on the keys to make changes, but no dialog comes up asking me for a password [04:05] <_Pb> that's true [04:05] Zzarkc: you can try what I do.. turn off all encryption on the wireless and connect.. then restrict access to the wireless by mac address and also turn off ssid broadcast [04:05] _Pb: What keys? [04:06] ardchoille: What about it? [04:06] Archanamiya: just a thought [04:06] <_Pb> the ones that are like "click here to make changes" [04:06] _Pb: You're using synaptic? [04:06] Hello; I am installing Ubuntu 9 into a VMWare environment from the CD ISO on the website. However, it gets to the orange background and appears to hang there, I still have mouse input but no GUI elements have appeared. What are my options for diagnosis please? Thanks. [04:06] <_Pb> Archanamiya: yes [04:06] _Pb: Use the command line [04:07] Stanto: switch to virtualbox.. ? [04:07] <_Pb> you mean apt-get or adduser? [04:07] <_Pb> i did both [04:07] apt-get [04:07] ohhhh [04:07] <_Pb> oh, yeah, i used that [04:07] <_Pb> it's all updated [04:07] <_Pb> brb gonna see if i can login as the new user [04:07] scunizi: Alright I can attempt that. Do you happen to know where I could try downloading ndiswrapper, because I can't find a working package for it. I used that before and it worked, but Ic an't find it for Karmic. [04:07] _Pb: k === SmSpilla1 is now known as SmSpillaz [04:08] What does it mean if when starting my computer and choosing Ubuntu , it just goes to a Grub screen with nothing available? [04:09] Zzarkc: might not be available with the different underlying systems in karmac.. there's bound to be something out there on the net about wpa2 w/ tpik or similar.. it's never been the easiest to implement [04:09] scunizi Alright. Thanks! I'll keep looking for something then. === manug is now known as manugg [04:10] hi [04:10] hi [04:11] low [04:11] :) [04:12] still having cifs issues.

I try to boot it manually, it works. But when I restart, I need to boot it manually again. I try commend: sudo update-grub, but it still doesn't work. Anyone can help me? [04:16] once the bugs with flashplayer get worked out, it'll be more awesomer than winbloez [04:16] Archanamiya: because there are no "default" width and height set [04:17] ardchoille: That's quite inconvenient. Now I have to go and figure out exactly how big I want the window to be. Is there no other way? [04:17] Archanamiya: There may be other ways but I haven't found them yet [04:17] k [04:18] Archanamiya: it all has to do with the way the widgets are packed [04:18] ardchoille: Elaborate...

Your initial question is kinda confusing. Can you reword it? [04:33] <[none]> could anyone tell me, are .nfo files those self starting files for dvds or cds that only work on windows? [04:33] it seems to be a common problem but solution like "install fresh ubuntu" isn't an option [04:33] bot [04:33] qba you could also changed your default keyboard at gdm [04:33] cablop, I am working on learning python so I'll do that and come back to php most likely as you suggest [04:34] Compiz should work for microsoft. Ubuntu + Flash = Fail === unix is now known as Guest71888 [04:34] goin back to windows 7 [04:34] k4k: Screw python. It's nice, but PHP will give better experience [04:34] CyberSix: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub ? By default grub's video mode should be nowhere near out of range [04:34] k4k: Python is too unique [04:34] how do I set the recovery console resolution to 1360x768? [04:34] IMHO [04:34] K4k: imho to start learning php with no decent language knodledge first is the way to make of yourself a dirty programmer [04:34] naw [04:34] cablop: elaborate... [04:34] I've played in both C++ and Java [04:35] ahh [04:35] never really got proficient [04:35] [none]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.nfo [04:35] learn C ;) [04:35] k4k: if you're doing web design. then learn PHP. [04:35] otherwise [04:35] Archanamiya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] python is fine too [04:35] oops :S [04:35] Archanamiya, web design is just a way to keep my companies website online :-p I really prefer server administration TBH [04:35] Ok, let's start from the begining. I did some upgrades, rebooted to windows, rebooted back to ubuntu and after typing correct password gdm tried to start gnome (login screen disappeared for a second or two) but instead of gnome I saw login window again [04:35] k4k: ahhh [04:35] i guess you can learn java first, or c++ or python, after your mind is efficient as strong rules go to something less strict as php is [04:36] how do I set the recovery console command line resolution to 1360x768? Everything I enter recovery console I cant see anything [04:36] like learning real languages, learn a good lvl language before learning what people speak on streets [04:36] qba: that happened to me in a vbox vm of ubuntu.. havent' figured it out yet [04:36] qba: Can you just backup then reinstall? [04:36] scunizi: It seems to be a common issue lately but nobody gave any better answer than reinstall [04:37] cablop, as I've heard over and over, lol. That's why I started with the C/C++ route first [04:37] reinstall is not an option unfortunately [04:37] qba: or if you have internet connectivity.. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:37] qba: WHy not? [04:37] I just keep dropping it thanks to my attention span [04:37] k4k: We're getting off topic. We should stop ;) [04:37] qba: how'bout start safemode then gdm start [04:37] or try failsafe [04:38] yup, off topic, but nice indeedcXD [04:38] Archanamiya, yes, true...my bad :-) [04:38] centHOGG: safemode didn't help [04:38] I'll go look into the recommended IDEs you all suggested, thanks again [04:38] nuts [04:38] Jordan_U: what?!?! [04:38] k4k: yw :D [04:38] CyberSix: Sorry, wrong nick [04:38] qba: ok, could you log in though? [04:38] oh [04:38] qba what about going into shell and changing your pwd for something simple? [04:38] Cyber_Akuma_2: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub ? By default grub's video mode should be nowhere near out of range [04:38] how/what do i do to find a file on ubuntu? as in im looking for a game file but dont know where to start where as in windows i would look under "c" [04:38] Archanamiya: Haha, thankyou. It works. [04:38] :D [04:38] then retrying at gdm? [04:39] join #gtkpod [04:39] allin: Awesome :D [04:39] oh, sorry [04:39] hbah427: spamz0r! [04:39] ;p [04:39] * centHOGG newegg lag [04:39] cablop: I even created a new test user and wasn't able to log onto that account either [04:39] preecher: Open a folder window, then Ctrl+F [04:39] qba: see if you can log in then you can dpkg reconfigure [04:39] undrstand [04:40] Archanamiya: This bug is pretty strange. Updating also causes bugs, haven't heard about that [04:40] Archanamiya, which "folder" do i open [04:40] Does anyone know how I can install circular application menu? It's not in getdeb.net [04:40] preecher: The one you want to search [04:40] fengshaun: what [04:40] fengshaun: what's the name of the app [04:40] i'm going to ask again, i guess is there an specific option to install ubuntu in virtual machine, something in the install disk, is that true? [04:41] allin: Yeah it is. Oh well, we fixed it [04:41] Archanamiya, c-a-m (circular application menu) [04:41] Archanamiya, thats just it i dont know which folder to start looking in [04:41] fengshaun: 1 sec [04:41] * centHOGG scunizi: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop helped! Thank's a lot! It only installed a few packages that I removed more than a week ago but it somehow helped [04:41] preecher: / [04:41] i tryd search for file [04:41] Archanamiya, http://code.google.com/p/circular-application-menu/ [04:41] good [04:41] Archanamiya, appreciated! [04:41] fengshaun: compile [04:41] ? [04:41] cablop: no.. ubuntu won't know if it's a vm or a HD install.. it's vmware [04:41] cablop: No, but there is an option to install to an image on your windows partition [04:41] Archanamiya, I was looking for a way to avoid that! [04:42] preecher: Ah ha! Found something!! [04:42] qba: you're one step further then me.. I also lost internet connectivity [04:42] preecher: https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/multimedia [04:42] hi all, What does '~E' mean in command 'aptitude search ~E' [04:43] i thought i heard sth like that before, something like a lightweighted ubuntu install [04:43] preecher: get the PPA (tell me if you don't know how), then sudo apt-get install circular-application-menu [04:43] cablop: There is Ubuntu JeOS [04:43] scunizi: try wired connection if you can or maybe copy packages from another box [04:43] Archanamiya thx but i figured they was a easier way to search for files to see where they located [04:43] ubuntu JeOS? [04:43] preecger: oh? [04:43] cablop: Which is for creating minimal virtual machine "appliances" [04:43] preecher: what way? [04:43] i dont kno what a PPA is [04:44] cablop: Just Enough OS [04:44] ooops [04:44] Archanamiya, where can I find the ppa from? (and how can I add it?) [04:44] cablop: It's a separate installer though [04:44] qba: it's a vm on a wired macine.. no luck there.. [04:44] fengshaun_: https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/multimedia [04:44] fengshaun_:get the PPA (tell me if you don't know how), then sudo apt-get install circular-application-menu [04:44] Archanamiya, oh thanks! [04:44] :D [04:44] you know how to add it? [04:44] scunizi: I lost 6 hours to fix that.. I wonder what caused that behavior and moreover, how installing empathy and other redundant stuff helped [04:44] cablop: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos [04:45] fengshaun_: you know how to add it? [04:45] preecher: oops i was talking to the wrong user [04:45] preecher: my bad [04:45] qba: the mysteries abound [04:45] nice... but... [04:45] Archanamiya, I think it's .deb, so it adds itself automatically, right? [04:45] Archanamiya, o ok but i appreciate all u help [04:45] mmm now i don't know what to do... to install or not to install [04:45] scunizi: i was wondering if you guys were 32bit or 64bit [04:45] i downloaded a game and now i wanna find where it be [04:45] preecher: not quite. do you need help installing it? if you do, PM me so we dont interrupt the other people [04:46] fook [04:46] cause i need to run it inside a vbox ... and migrate my existing ubuntu... [04:46] wrong person [04:46] _fengshaun: not quite. do you need help installing it? if you do, PM me so we dont interrupt the other people [04:46] preecher: open a folder window. in the sidebar, click on Filesystem [04:46] preecher: then Ctrl+F [04:46] centHOGG: 32 in the vm [04:46] what folder i open? [04:47] * centHOGG yeah thats solid enough [04:47] preecher: anyone. they all have the sidebar [04:47] Is there a way to reinstall ubuntu without having it mess with my MBR? [04:47] preecher: Music, videos, whatever [04:47] ok, then i change my question, to install an Ubuntu JeOS is a nice idea but will take a lot of time to me now [04:47] i done it [04:47] scunizi: It's 5:46AM in my country and ubuntu succesfully kept me from sleeping tonight.. What kind of vm are you using? Vbox, vmware? [04:47] i open home folder [04:47] what services do i need to take out of an ubuntu to make it lightweight? [04:48] cablop: use xubuntu ;) [04:48] cablop: have tried ubuntu-server then building that up [04:48] Anyone seeing issues with MySQLi (PHP) in Karmic? It seems to be mangling variables in ways my production server (jaunty) does not. [04:48] preecher: what file are you looking for? [04:48] free dink [04:48] ? [04:48] or at least that the name of the game [04:49] preecher: open a terminal, then "whereis freedink". try that [04:49] k [04:49] i could use a little help getting wireless to work on this ubuntu machine [04:49] preecher: why do you need to know anyway? [04:49] Archanamiya: yes i can try xubuntu, but i want to stop some serices not related with GUI [04:50] cablop: ohh. what services? [04:50] qba: vbox [04:50] centHOGG: yes i tried the server thing, until the last 8.04 server version does not want to run in my CPU, it says my CPU is not supported anymore on that kernel :( [04:50] Archanamiya, i need install some cheats and what you tole me to do i find it--many thax [04:51] cablop: yeah I've only used jaunty [04:51] Archanamiya: that's what i was asking, lol! [04:51] preecher: yw [04:51] I need a a really functional configurable editor [04:51] qba: first time I ever had an issue with it.. if it was actually the cause.. I've used vmware but it's too heav [04:51] scunizi: has networking worked before? [04:51] any suggestions? [04:51] vmware heavy? [04:51] Cyber_Akuma_2: Not easily. Did you see my last question? [04:51] caplop: I see. so, what exactly are you trying to do? [04:51] i get my internet wirelessly, and have an in house ethernet network to stream to my tv and the likes. well everytime i plugin my ethernet cable, jaunty automagically switches over and I lose DNS and cant connect to the net. How can i have my wireless on wlan0 not be affected by eth0, but they both work independently?? (i am not talking about bridging, inet and local network are on seperate subnets) [04:51] Jordan_U: Can you repeat it? [04:51] Archanamiya, wow man, thanks! [04:51] qba: oh yea.. worked fine until the vm of ubuntu stopped working.. funny though.. I also had a vm of kubuntu and it worked fine.. [04:51] smacktalk1: emacs or vim [04:52] fengshaun_: np :D [04:52] Archanamiya: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub ? By default grub's video mode should be nowhere near out of range [04:52] Jordan_U: Sure. gimme a sec. [04:52] Archanamiya: i have an existing installation of ubuntu there, i run it for some services instead of running them on windows, but, i want to simplify that ubuntu more, i don't need bluetooth or wireless there, for example [04:52] scunizi: have you tried adding another network device into the vm? [04:53] cablop, what were the plugins you meantioned for Eclipse? [04:53] !minimal | cablop [04:53] qba: yea. only one other..actually just switched it.. in the first tab.. [04:53] cablop: 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).

[04:54] scunizi: boot the vm from a livecd and you should have networking. Than chroot and you should be able to use apt-get [04:54] k4k: i see. actually, the Komodo install gives a step by step read me [04:54] Jordan_U: thanks [04:54] Archanamiya: In Ubuntu? It has to [04:54] cablop: np [04:54] Hb_Kai: don't risk it unless you have a backup of the vm.. then give it a try and see how it handles it. [04:54] Jordan_U: nope [04:55] by the way anyone knows how to migrate an existing ubuntu into an stripped down ubuntu without pain? [04:55] qba: I'll give that a shot on Monday.. it's a work machine. [04:55] scunizi: alright, cheers [04:55] Jordan_U: Nothing. [04:55] cablop: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ;) [04:55] cablop, rsync? what do you mean by migrate?

[05:06] to make it work [05:07] Hello all, I had a quick question about ubuntu (specifically network remix): I used to use Archlinux but I accidently destroyed it and don't want to reset it, can ubuntu be used just text-based and only load up graphical programs like firefox?

[05:24] Jordan_U: still happens, im pretty sure its happening before it can evne read the config file === carlos is now known as Guest74681 [05:25] Zzarkc: For just changing the titles for your Windows entry it would be easier to copy the current entry from your /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then remove 30-os-prober [05:25] Jordan_U: the second grub starts my screen goes blank and says out of range [05:25] Zzarkc: Since it's not going to be changing [05:25] Cyber_Akuma_2: After uncommenting and running update-grub ? [05:26] there is a GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER value you can use in karmic [05:26] i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all and since then mu karmic is slower in launching apps is that normAal [05:26] Jordan_U: Yes, as I said, its before it can read any config files, so modifing the grub or grub.cfg file sim pretty sure wont do anything [05:26] Jordan_U It's not changing the Windows portion I'm interested in. Instead of it saying: "Linux 2.64.564 etc" I would rather it saying something with "Karmic" first. At least what the how-to mentioned for changing it is good. [05:27] Cyber_Akuma_2: I don't know why there would be a modeswitch between POST and grub [05:27] quick question, when I try to cd to another dir i keep getting no such file or directory even when I type ls to see other dirs [05:27] Jordan_U: can you at least help me get windows booting form grub again then? [05:27] Cuddles, you using the correct case? a vs A? [05:27] How can i change GRUB order? [05:28] i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all and since then mu karmic is slower in launching apps is that normAal [05:28] Zzarkc: Note that those are back tics, not quotes [05:28] Ill ry it [05:28] Cuddles: type the first few letters of the directory then hit "tab" to autocomplete [05:28] And that was it [05:28] Jordan_U Ah. that might be the syntax error. Thanks. [05:28] anyone here dual booting with os x and ubuntu? [05:28] Cyber_Akuma_2: What happens when you try to boot windows? [05:28] Well gotta learn sometime [05:28] haha [05:28] thx [05:28] Zzarkc: np [05:29] dajepp: yes me [05:29] Is everything in CLI case sensitive? [05:30] Cuddles: everything in linux is case sensitive [05:30] Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu doesn't see any of my Sata Harddrives? [05:30] Jordan_U Hmmm... didn't work. Do the black tics actually mean anything or do I just leave those out? [05:30] I just got a notice that one or more of my hdds are failing... how do I find out more [05:30] Thx again! [05:31] How can i change Grub order at startup? [05:31] Zzarkc: The back tics mean that when the script is run what's in the backtics is replaced with the output of the command within the backtics [05:31] Zzarkc: So "echo `date`" will print the date [05:32] Fatb0y, if they are additional internal drives you might have to add them to the fstab file so Ubuntu will know about them [05:32] anyone? [05:32] Jordan_U Alright. I was using the single quote, forgot about that character. [05:32] daurnimator, you could run "e2fsck" from a live cd. only works on unmounted partitions [05:32] ZykoticK9, i am assuming this can be done during the text install? just go to the terminal? [05:32] I would imagine its something to do with smart? [05:33] what can I type in CL to see what my current soundcard is? [05:33] hi [05:33] !smart [05:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about smart [05:33] does mirc work well in wine [05:33] ? [05:33] how do i activate the superl key [05:33] spO: why not use xchat? [05:33] also, I don't know which hdd it was talkign about: theres 6 in the computer... [05:33] skyl: lspci or sudo lshw [05:34] mnpettok, cause mirc is better and the best [05:34] Fatb0y, i'd recommend you use "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" but you'll need to know what the dev id of your drives is and create mount points for them - a little research on your end may be required... [05:34] Jordan_U: It says "error: device format "ata0,1" invalid: must be (f|h)dN, with 0 <= N < 128 [05:34] ZykoticK9, all my drives are sata actually, but my first drive starts on the Sata 2 controller not sata 1. [05:34] daurnimator: you can boot the live cd, make sure your hard drives are unmounted and run e2fsck to check/repair the partitions [05:34] ZykoticK9, i can't even get all the way into the boot live cd inorder to use gedit. [05:35] as in, when I compile ALSA, I'm going to do something like $./configure --with-cards=layla24 --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install [05:35] ZykoticK9, when i say it doesn't recognize the drives it also means it fails to load the live cd as there are no drives available. [05:35] Fatb0y, use "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal to find all you correct /dev/sdX# that you'll need, how many partitions do you want to mount? [05:35] but I want to add my current card, which might be called something like hda-intel, but I'm not sure [05:35] Cyber_Akuma_2: What says that? [05:35] Fatb0y: do you have a gforce motherboard? [05:35] Fatb0y, oh man you you running a livecd? [05:36] ZykoticK9, as long as i get 1 drive up then i would be fine. i can format and mount the second drive after install. [05:36] Fatb0y, if you are then you don't need fstab! just mount the drives! [05:36] the superl key is also the home or windows key how do i impliment it for the menu [05:36] ZykoticK9, no, not running a live cd now. [05:36] Jordan_U: grub [05:36] Fatb0y, ok, then use the fdisk -l to find your partitions! sd then a letter and number! [05:37] with Bourne shell scripting? [05:37] ZykoticK9, so far all i have been able to do on this machine is get ubuntu running in vmware but i want ubuntu to be the main OS on this machine and then just load windows in vm when needed [05:37] anyone here familiar with Bourne shell scripting? [05:37] Fatb0y: do you have a gforce motherboard? === william is now known as Guest99360 [05:37] Fatb0y, you also need to know what type of partition they are ext3 ext4 nfts etc [05:37] scunizi, yes, i do believe it is. [05:37] Fatb0y, you are aware that there is no gaming in VMs right? [05:38] ZykoticK9, yes i am aware [05:38] Cyber_Akuma_2: Run grub-install with --disk-module=ata again [05:38] Fatb0y: some gforce boards need the pci=nomsi on the kernel line to boot fully into the live cd.. after install you have to add that same line to grub.. [05:38] ZykoticK9, this machine is not for gaming its for office work / serviing up files i have another machine for games [05:38] anyone here familiar with Bourne shell scripting?

Wouldent any changes I do there be undone the next time there is a kernel update? [06:20] cyberakuma: No, /etc/grub.d/40_custom Is where you put custom manual menu entries [06:20] set the immutable flag on the file :) [06:21] sometimes package management does suck [06:21] hi .. i want to mount a usb flash drive .. but its not mounting .. i would want to use the mount command .. but i dont know the device path .. how do i find the path ?

[06:22] abenteuer [06:22] how do I install the kernel source and headers? [06:22] cyberakuma: So the idea is that you woule remove 09-os-prober and instead add then menu entry in 40-custom ( which you can also move to 09-custom or whatever name you want starting with a number between 1 and 9 [06:22] haciendo un curso [06:22] jejeje [06:22] cyberakuma: Yes [06:22] Thunder_Drop is your system like overclocked or something?

[06:25] will this* [06:25] Thunder_Drop I'm not so sure at this point if I'm going to stay with it really [06:25] cyberakuma: If you don't remove 09 you will have two windows entries ( at least one of which won't work :) [06:25] Thunder_Drop like all my drives are ide-scsi [06:26] I read that someone else had a similar problem and it was solved by deleting a corrupted file from the package but I have been unable to find the right file [06:26] skyl: are you using a howto or just shooting in the dark?

I only updated a couple things before i hit the wall [07:16] pfred1: thanks. I'm just looking to verify that my encrypted drive is actually encrypted or encoded with something. I've used the alternate cd lvm encryption installer before and when I look in gparted (from a livecd) the encrypted partition is unknown. Now (in 9.04) it's shown as ext3 which doesn't seem right to me [07:17] Thunder_Drop: Can you pastebin any of the bad files? [07:17] anonymousx I don't think the format has anything to do with encrypted files [07:17] anyone here know anything about GConf? Specifically; how to manually remove schemas? [07:17] so, now I reboot and I have no panels ... I don't know how to get to a terminal ... about all I can do is change the desktop background [07:18] Hey everyone [07:18] anyone actually up? [07:18] skyl, try ctrl+alt+F1, see if you get a login prompt... [07:19] Jordan_U The first one looks like a bunch of simbols on gedit so I'm not sure if you want to see that one but this is the one that it is gettin hung up on now http://pastebin.com/m5df3b6f0 [07:19] greezmunkey, any ideas from there? === zz_b0w is now known as kiwifunk [07:19] pfred1: the way it used to work was that the entire partition was encrypted, filesystem and all. Now it looks like LUKS has some type of hybrid business going on where the partition type is somehow viewable and I don't know why [07:19] Jordan_U that's /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-3.5-gnome-support.list [07:19] skyl, you could try restarting GDM...as a start (sudo service gdm restart) [07:20] skyl, then ctrl+alt+F7 to see if it worked... [07:21] why would screwing up my kernel make my panels go away? [07:21] skyl, what all did you do? [07:22] Hi! I use UBUNTU 9.10 KK ON MY LAPTOP. I WANT TO CONNECT TO INTERNET VIA BLUETOOTH FROM MY MOBILE. DON'T FINDA NY OPTION TO CONNECT. PL HELP/GUIDE. THANX [07:22] vim: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [07:22] nice, linux sound is such BS that it even screws up vim [07:22] skyl, from the console can you ping google.com? [07:23] greezmunkey, yep [07:23] greezmunkey: sometimes pings are blocked by routers, ISPs, etc. try wgeting instead? [07:23] can't use vim tho [07:24] skyl, then you should be able to recover, maybe apt-get install (update, maybe to start) I'LL LEAVE THAT to someone else to confirm... [07:24] libasound.so.2 is messed up, so naturally, I can't edit text from the CL [07:25] anonymousx, if he can ping google.com, he has internet, and dns... [07:25] is there any command to see process's running on terminal? [07:25] ps ax deanfx [07:25] ok I am running dual boot and just want to clean up grub... after updates there is allot more options to choose from. how do I get rid of the older ubuntu kernels in grub? [07:25] top can give you some good info too [07:25] deanfx top [07:25] thanks skyl [07:25] yep [07:26] deanfx: also htop [07:26] skyl: well according to your error msg, you don't have a libasound.so.2 [07:26] Hi! I use UBUNTU 9.10 on my laptop.I want to connect to internet via bluetooth from my mobile.Don't find any such option to connect. pl help..thnx [07:26] Awsome. [07:26] just don't mess with sound [07:26] Thanks guys :) [07:26] losha, /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 is there [07:26] idk [07:26] who cares if it's not there [07:26] ? [07:27] give me my panels and my terminal and my vim? [07:27] why oh why did I ever try to compile ALSA [07:27] it would have been cheaper to pay someone to take this sound card away [07:27] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/m4d5329c2 That is the original file that you asked me to append though I didn't get a chance to reinstall the package [07:28] is my pc is 64 or 32 bit Linux nikesh 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 25 00:28:35 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [07:28] Jordan_U both have some weird characters though they are with different encoding.... I don't know if that is important [07:28] sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-source [07:29] is my pc is 64 or 32 bit please check the output of uname -a Linux nikesh 2.6.28-14-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 25 00:28:35 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [07:29] skyl: well, my vim (karmic, 2:7.2.245-2ubuntu2) doesn't use libasound. What does ldd /usr/bin/vim say? [07:29] I did that and $make uninstall ; make clean [07:29] Thunder_Drop: I think those might be bits of an executable, definitely not what should be there [07:29] in the alsa src dirs [07:30] Thunder_Drop: And could cause more problems than you currently have if you're not carefull [07:30] trying to run /usr/bin/vim gives me the libasound error [07:30] skyl: not what I asked you for... [07:30] Jordan_U your command seemed to get the proccess beyond the first file... should i do the same for this one? [07:31] losha, a bunch of lib stuff [07:31] Im installing the updates right after doing the install of 9.10, and it is up to configuring grub-pc. its taking forever, seems to be scrolling "Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-xxx a lot [07:31] is something wrong? [07:31] skyl: any of them mention libasound? [07:31] Thunder_Drop: Only to re-install the package ( and check that the other file is now actually a list of files now that you have re-installed ) [07:31] hi ppl [07:31] i need to convert my system to as live CD [07:31] or DVD [07:31] libasound => not found [07:32] got a question if anyone has a bit of time [07:32] libasound.so.2 that is [07:32] Jordan_U so should I run that command on the next file and try to get through the reinstall process? [07:32] Thunder_Drop: I have no idea what might happen if dpkg tries to actually use one of these files, in fact maybe deleting them is safer ( or moving them somewhere else to later find out what they are ) [07:32] so I have one at /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 [07:32] kartook: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872 [07:33] is there anyway that I can go back to a stock kernel? [07:33] anyone here use the softphone Twinkle??? [07:33] Waww Great link thanks dude [07:33] skyl: uh, you're running a custom kernel? [07:33] kartook: np :) [07:33] losha, well, I tried to compile ALSA .. [07:33] Thunder_Drop: Does /var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsmime1.list now contain a list of files? [07:33] hey can anyone help me with getting a webcam (logitech mp/s5500) working in ubuntu 9.10? [07:34] skyl: try sudo /sbin/ldconfig after library file changes. then try the app [07:34] Jordan_U no but I wasn't able to do a reinstall as the next file got in the way after [07:34] losha: I read somewhere that a custom kernel violates you warrenty, so to speak. True? [07:34] skyl: if you didn't delete them, your old kernels should still be in /boot [07:35] losha, the old kernels got boinked too somehow [07:35] greezmunkey: well, there *is* no warranty, but a custom kernel sure make it hard to diagnose anything over irc... [07:36] I'm ready to let all of my work go for the past couple of years ... if I could just get a browser to d/l the latest ubuntu disk [07:36] Jordan_U I cut the files out of the folder and tried to reinstall the first package... seems to find another so I'll do the same for it [07:36] well, anything that's not safe ad sound in a git repo :P [07:36] Thunder_Drop: Try deleting the next file, if that works then instead of the command I gave you try a similar command that will just create a blank file ( with a newline ) "echo | sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/libcupsmime1.list" [07:37] that word "sound" I don't ever want to hear or see it again [07:37] DOes anyone here know how to install a windows game on linux? [07:37] losha, I was referring to the dressing down that a guy got in here for badgering people for support on his custom kernel :/ [07:37] skyl: Well you won't be3 hearing it, your sound is broken ;) [07:37] !wine | crazyivan [07:37] crazyivan: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:37] Jordan_U the next file I can't even open as no encoding could be detected but I'll just cut it out of the folder [07:38] that I could deal with ... the fact that i can't even get to a graphical browser ... [07:38] I already got WINE but there seems to be problems installing the game from the CD-rom [07:38] * skyl goes to d/l ubuntu with lynx and figure out how to burn and iso from the CL [07:38] the game is Red Alert 2 [07:38] greezmunkey: well, like I said, it's pretty impossible to support a custom kernel. Who knows what sins may have been committed. And not mentioning it up-front is simply dishonest... [07:39] crazyivan, I don't know if telling you to kill yourself now is morally ethical ... [07:39] why's that? [07:39] skyl: nothing to it: cdrecord -v -tao speed=40 dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -eject -data file.iso [07:39] losha: agreed [07:40] anyone here ever try yellowdog linux on their Ps3? [07:40] crazyivan: read up on wine-doors,wine-tricks,playonlinux google has info [07:40] well, I just followed some alsa instructions all the way to a bricked box [07:40] Thunder_Drop: That first file might have been part of the cups binary [07:40] Jordan_U I cut about 6 files out of the folder... all with strange encoding in them.... I then was able to reinstall the first package... the file is restored and looking normal [07:41] http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-layla24 [07:41] Jordan_U should i just reinstall the other packages too now? [07:41] I don't think that it's actually a custom kernel [07:41] per se [07:41] Thunder_Drop: do you know what corrupted them in the first place?

[07:41] well I took the installed files from my windows OS and copied them here on linux, then WINE is capable of executing the videogame but it doesnt read the disc in my Cd-drive. what could i do? [07:41] losha No i have no idea what caused it [07:41] Thunder_Drop: There is a package for finding files whose contents don't match what it should be, let me find it [07:42] o.O [07:42] if i use scp to download large files from my server and my connection is cut for whatever reason. is scp able to continue where it left off for that file? or is there another way to manage that download? [07:42] Thunder_Drop: is it an ext4 filesystem? [07:42] losha yes it is [07:42] Does this thing work yet? [07:43] night1ne, you're on IRC in #ubuntu, so something's working :) [07:43] any one help to get good black transparent themes for my ubuntu 9.04 [07:43] losha is ext4 still unstable... I only used it because it was the default in the install process... all my other installs have been with ext3 [07:43] Does anyone know why i cant access my root directory? When i try to open it i get error 13: Permission denied. [07:43] Thunder_Drop: there have been rumours about ext4 file corruptions, but never anything reproducible (of course). [07:43] Okay. Good.

[07:44] That floodbot is annoying, isn't it? [07:44] night1ne: you start by not flooding i.e. no multi-line messages.... [07:44] when i try to open the folder it says i dont have permission to === b0w is now known as b0w[out] [07:44] lasha I will have to see if i get anymore corrupted files... I'll watch for it more closley this time and try to figure out what caused it [07:45] No multi-line messages..? So then I have to go and learn pastebin or something similar? [07:45] night1ne: go to the website read the info on importing the repo key or try the server later or both [07:45] Is the floodbot scared of too much readind? [07:45] hey there how can i set a shortcut key for my applications for ex. Terminal [07:45] Okay [07:45] night1ne: well, not if you don't want to. You can always just keep getting muted by floodbot... [07:45] I'll do it when I feel like causing pain to my cerebral cortex :D [07:46] crazyivan, use sudo ... but really, wine? might as well do yourself in [07:46] @mostafa_ i've been wondering the same thing, how do i create shortcut keys? especially for my terminal [07:46] Thunder_Drop: The package is debsums, it will find any files that don't match the contents of the packge they came from [07:46] lol skyl [07:46] thx === b0w[out] is now known as b0w [07:46] mostafa_: xbindkeys is one way [07:46] skyl would you mind telling me what command to type after "sudo"? [07:46] Thunder_Drop: There will be many false positives ( some files are meant to be changed ) but for instance all of the file lists should match so any error from those you know to re-install that package [07:47] im just trying to gain access to my root directory [07:47] nomad77: can u explain it how to more [07:47] :D [07:47] install xbingkeys?

[07:48] Jordan_U any particular way to run it as I just typed debsums and its doing a lot of checking :) [07:48] skyl: which release are you downloading?

I can't see most of the results as they are cut off from terminal [07:49] skyl: lynx? You lazy bum, curl is all you need and *maybe* less if you can't parse html while it's scrolling across the screen [07:50] skyl: fewer sound issues with 8.04 LTS.... [07:50] Jordan_U, if I new the url [07:50] ok im back [07:50] Thunder_Drop: Just redirect the output to a file with command > file.txt [07:50] Jordan_U: curl? You can't just telnet to port 80? [07:50] accidently closed the chat [07:50] losha, sound works fine if I just take what works OOTB and pretend that I like it [07:50] crazyivan: try sudo -i [07:51] crazyivan: you're not muted, but you need to learn not to flood... [07:51] ok thx zcat ima go try [07:51] zcat[1]: I'm so ashamed of myself now :( [07:51] Is there a program that can run on linux that will open my windows installed (win7 that is), some sort of virtual machine, but run the windows that is already installed as opposed to a new one on a file [07:51] Does vmware does that ? [07:51] skyl: ok, just as long as you know what you're getting into... [07:51] vick, yep [07:51] skyl, vmware does ? [07:51] Jordan_U: curl is a handy tool though... [07:51] losha, I suppose that pulseaudio is still a big pile of crap :P [07:51] zcat[1]: http://xkcd.com/378/ [07:52] vick: virtualox-ose [07:52] skyl: oh yeah, bigtime...

[07:52] !alsa [07:52] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[07:53] crazyivan, put their name in the message [07:53] crazyivan: If you included their nick in the message it will be highlighted in their client [07:53] is that it? [07:53] crazyivan: now, try real hard not to break anything... doing stuff in a rootshell means you can cause a lot of damage with just one mistyped command [07:53] crazyivan: Yes [07:53] skyl, is this successfuL? [07:54] hey guys - looking to install multiple test sites of joomla on an ubuntu box - any recommendations? [07:54] cra ... yes, and this is not ... [07:54] crazyivan, useful trick - Tab complete. Type the first four letters or so of someone's nick, then hit Tab. It should auto-complete the nick for you. [07:54] zcat[1], Yea im not messing with my root directory, i just wanted to know i could access it [07:54] anybody know how i can have my virtualbox xp drive usable in ubuntu? [07:54] fbok, learn python :P [07:55] does anyone know how to execute mono? i want to code in C# [07:55] deadant2: Share the drive via Samba (Windows file sharing) [07:55] Jordan_U: debsums: no md5sums for xserver-xorg-video-all Does that mean I should reinstall that package? It also pointed out some with invalid lines which I know I need to reinstall [07:56] crazyivan: another handy trick, press alt-F2 and type 'gksu nautilus' -- you'll get a file browser running as root and you can do stuff from there.. I think if you rightclick and edit, for example, it will launch gedit also as root.. [07:56] Hi. Desparate newbie. Unsure of protocol. Update manager issue. Was referred. [07:57] FireCrotch, thanks, i'' try that. So that would make it so i can accsess my mp3's from ubuntu (i have xp for ipod syncing) and way i can do it in reverse so i can have my music while not running virtualbox [07:57] any ideas anyone? I basically just want to hav ea couple of test sites to perfect before I put them on a host [07:57] TopDollar2009: just drop the question and wait patiently... [07:58] zcat[1], any tips on how to memorize all these command lines? you seem to be good at it [07:58] deadant2: I would recommend storing your music in Ubuntu in your home directory, and share that via samba [07:58] crazyivan, it comes w/ practice [07:59] ubottu, terminal | crazyivan [07:59] crazyivan: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [07:59] Thunder_Drop: I don't know, can't hurt ( unless there are a lot of packages without md5sums ) [07:59] Thunder_Drop: in that particular case, I think xserver-xorg-video-all is a pseudo-package, so it's probably harmless to ignore. Or you could reinstall it, but save your old xorg.conf first... [07:59] OK.. dropping question: Working Wubi installation, no probs. Ran update manager, all went swimmingly. Rebooted, "limited bash", no GUI, no nothing. Totally lost. Am attempting new Wubi install and swap out root.disk, only thing I can think of. Any help greatly appreciated. [07:59] FireCrotch, thanks - will try [07:59] zcat[1], i tried that command you gave me "gksu nautilus" and nothing happened [07:59] 全英文？我晕！ [08:00] Madpilot, thx man i'll check it out. I am new to Linux [08:00] im thinking of buying a western digital external hard disk, either "my book elite" or "my passport elite", will i face any problems using this with ubuntu, or is it just plug and play? thanks! :-) [08:00] i set ubuntu 9.10 in a vm, and i set the resolution higher. but it didn't take, i have something akin to a video200 like screen, the display thing has "lost" the larger resolutions, how do i set my screensize back to a proper 4:3 aspect res? [08:00] Good day everyone , how to use java that has been installed manually in firefox ? [08:00] crazyivan: really?

[08:01] TopDollar2009, so all you have is a command line? [08:02] kristian_: If it's NAS then it might not, but it almost certainly is just regular usbms [08:02] zcat[1], Maybe It isnt installed on my system yet or something? [08:02] crazyivan, um, this is #ubuntu, not #crunchbang or whatever... [08:02] Correct, greezemonkey, and startx doesn't work. [08:02] Madpilot, yea but i think crunchbang is a ubuntu distribute [08:02] crazyivan: possibly... not familiar with crunchbang... never heard of it in fact === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk [08:03] crazyivan, it might be based on Ubuntu, but that doesn't mean it works the same [08:03] zcat[1] yea you should look it up, its very cool but unfortunatly i am so used to damn windows im having trouble now with it [08:03] Jordan_U: ok then i presume they will work then. (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=754 & http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=740) [08:03] what's a good tablet pc taht runs ubuntu and doesn't have a keyboardf? [08:03] Jordan_U: You think I should reinstall all of them? just to be safe? [08:03] crazyivan, there's a #crunchbang channel, might want to join it [08:03] crunchbang is Ubuntu without a UI.. i.e. it's almost completly devoid of the ability to run x/gnome/kde [08:03] Thunder_Drop: You can add "2> errors.txt" to the command to log the errors as well [08:04] Thunder_Drop: Yes [08:04] Madpilot, thats true but about half the command lines you guys have given me have actually worked, zcat[1] helped me bypass an error and access my root directory [08:04] gartral, OK, that matters enormously, and would be why crazyivan couldn't get "gksu nautilus" to work... [08:04] Madpilot: its ubuntu variant using openbox setup [08:04] losha: I don't have anything worth backing up as its a fresh install but thanks for the tip [08:04] madpilot, what is the #crunchbang channel? how do i connect to it? [08:04] Thunder_Drop: I'd definitely install the ones that say 'invalid line'. Then see how it goes. It's generally harmless to reinstall a package.... [08:05] crazyivan: yes, as mentioned elsewhere if you don't have a gui then you don't have gnome, so you won't have gksu OR nautilus ;) [08:05] Madpilot: yep, that's exactly his problem, tell him to install gnome [08:05] crazyivan, "/join #crunchbang" without the quotes around it [08:05] i would hate leaving this channel cus you guys have been so helpful but i guess i gotta go to my os channel [08:05] ActionParsnip Good morning, I waited for you to continue the conversation about the sound through HDMI on a video card GT220. [08:05] quick question when I run "uptime" it always tells me there is two users why is that? [08:05] Jordan_U: losha: well thanks for the help... hopefully after I reinstall I won't have any more problems... If I do I'll try to figure out what is causing the corruption so I can be of some help [08:05] Madpilot: it's dead in there [08:05] crazyivan, you can be in multiple channels [08:05] crazyivan: or you could just install ubuntu and stay here ;) [08:05] madpilot, and i type this in my terminal right? [08:06] crazyivan: they have forums also and wiki http://crunchbanglinux.org/ [08:06] crazyivan, in the same place you're typing what you're saying to us [08:06] ActionParsnip I tried to do what you recommended yesterday, but to no avail. [08:06] Sabir: i've never setup that or advised it, i'm no good at sound problems [08:06] zcat[1] hmmmm depends. How much better is ubuntu than linux? [08:06] Madpilot crazyivan #crunchbang is emtpy almost [08:06] Thunder_Drop: in practice, it's virtually impossible to track down the cause of a corruption unless you're a filesystem/kernel expert, so don't sweat it too much, ok? [08:06] * gartral will pretend he didn't read crazyivanlast post [08:06] Sabir: i can get video out of it ok, why not use your soundcard and get some speakers instead, less hassle [08:06] Thunder_Drop: It's really interesting that it's not random corruption, it's ( in one case ) parts of the cups binary [08:07] crazyivan: well, ubuntu -is- linux still, and it's awesome [08:07] Hi guys I'm having some problems getting the x windows system thing working [08:07] Thunder_Drop: Are you sure you aren't using ext3? [08:07] gartral, not trying to be mean, but crunchbang isn't ubuntu... [08:07] would anyone be willing to help me solve this? [08:07] gartral lol why pertend? If you want i can spam that message for you [08:07] filthynoob: what's the problem ? [08:07] TopDollar2009, hmm, it's a good thing you installed as wubi. Did you install over Win7 ? [08:08] oh well i do have linux, so technically i have ubuntu then, since you say ubuntu -is- linux [08:08] Madpilot: technically, yes it is, in the same respect that, at heart, Ubuntu is Debian [08:08] ikonia: I've recently installed ubuntu 9.10 on my friends computer [08:08] crazyivan: are you using ubuntu linux - yes/no ? [08:08] Jordan_U: yep, dunno what it means that the corruption is so localized though... [08:08] ikonia no [08:08] i set ubuntu 9.10 in a vm, and i set the resolution higher. but it didn't take, i have something akin to a video200 like screen, the display thing has "lost" the larger resolutions, how do i set my screensize back to a proper 4:3 aspect res? [08:08] filthynoob: keep it on one line, its easier to read [08:08] crazyivan: then this channel is not a support channel for you [08:08] Greezemonkey, wouldn't bury my dog in any new version of windows. Installed over XP Home. :) [08:08] gartral, nevertheless. the differences matter - pure cli vs gnome vs kde etc etc [08:08] ActionParsnip Less hassle, but this is the path of least resistance. In fact, it is recognition that the possibility Ubuntu less than a well-known competitor. [08:08] ikonia so you trying to kick me out? [08:08] crazyivan: this channel only offers support for ubuntu linux [08:08] crazyivan: end of discussion [08:08] * Sabir sad [08:09] losha: Jordan_U: I deffinetlly have ext4 and no I'm not going to try to investigate too hard but if it happens again I'll figure it out faster and find out what I did that caused it.... If i can [08:09] ikonia ok so kick me out. Al mighty admin [08:09] does someone know a way to record video from skype? [08:09] Sabir: competitor? [08:09] wow, that was great, I d/led the whole isp and the lynx didn't want to write it to file [08:09] News... does seem to be the root.disk somewhere. Putting it in caused the same issue. [08:09] crazyivan: just keep on topic, there will be no problem. The topic is Ubuntu linux support [08:09] crazyivan: he will, you know... [08:09] TopDollar2009, I did some looking, but all I could find pointed to the same thing. Essentially there is a reinstall in your immediate future. [08:09] ikonia well I will leave to my proper channel sorry if i got off topic [08:10] plitter, multimedia? best just to go play outside [08:10] crazyivan: no problem [08:10] Madpilot: so what your saying is, even though they're the _same_ kernal,and _same_ team (prettymuch) kubuntu can never _ever_ recieve support from #ubuntu? [08:10] filthynoob: so what's the actual problem ? [08:10] gtk-recordmydesktop might work though actually [08:10] Goodbye everyone thx for all the help! [08:10] ikonia: when I first rebooted it after I installed it it screwed up, I was going to reinstall it later, but someone turned it and it worked fine, well for about a week we've been playing around with it and its been okay. Keep in mind this machine has been kept offline until today. I tried restarting it and I got this error '[drm:intelfb_restore] *ERROR* Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22' spamming the screen [08:10] Sabir: just because I cannot help doesnt mean the other 1200 users in here can't [08:10] So it would seem. I wish there were some other alternative. If there is an update issue, then won't a new install simply repeat the problem if an update goes with it, tho? [08:10] TopDollar2009, I mean unless you are willing to put yourself through immense pain for the potential that you will end up reinstalling anyway. [08:10] Why do people even bother with wubi or dual boot? Get a second machine already... people are giving away machines that run ubuntu just fine... [08:10] gartral, from all reports, #kubuntu is an active and thriving channel. No reason to use #ubuntu... [08:10] skyl: i mean record a lecture when ur not there [08:11] Madpilot: that's not what I asked [08:11] ActionParsnip well, thank you. [08:11] I got it hooked up to the internets a little bit ago and did an upgrade and installed some new apps from command line [08:11] filthynoob: I guess it depends what you mean by "it's was screwed" and what "someone did to turn it" [08:11] zcat[1], because using the machine you already have takes up less desk/floor space? [08:11] zcat. Personally with you, but my wife and I share her notebook. She likes winDoze. [08:11] zcat[1]: because maybe you dont want 2 pcs in your room [08:11] Sabir: i'm still perplexed by competitor [08:11] Thanx tho. I'll just have 2 reinstall. [08:11] Peace. [08:12] TopDollar2009, It's hard to say. I had a wubi install that (believe it or not) worked beautifully on a Dell Insp 1100. One day it tanked, and that was it. add/remove programs...:/ [08:12] ikonia: nobody has messed with it really. No else that has had access to it knows anything about computers and just played with rythmbox or sudoku [08:12] zcat[1]: mainly cause a second system uses more power, eats more in-home real estate and produces that much more heat, also, no two procs will ever perform exactly the same [08:13] hmmm, also if you use wubi I would suggest never trying to update.... [08:13] filthynoob: you said "someone turned it" so someone must have done something [08:13] TopDollar2009, I had another on this machine that worked great until folks in here convinced me to format and install it right. [08:13] ActionParsnip Under competitor I meant MS Windows [08:14] ikonia: I started in command line and could get around the system pretty well, but when I tried startx it gave me that same error message but didn't spam the screen. Someone turned it back on after I turned it off when it I got that error a week ago [08:14] Sabir: so what if it became more popular, what would cange? [08:14] filthynoob: this mail chain may help you [08:14] filthynoob: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1823901.html [08:14] Sabir: the devs would still code and users would log bugs and the world would still spin [08:14] filthynoob: it appears there is a bug logged for this [08:14] zcat[1]: i performed updates on a wubi install... it's a pain, but i got it >.> [08:14] Sabir: its not about competing, its just giving users choice [08:15] ya I googled this and found that out [08:15] but there doesn't seem to be any fix for it [08:15] Sabir: its not a competition at all [08:15] filthynoob: looking at the bug, there doesn't appear to be a fix at this time but a few work arounds, but they do have drawbacks [08:15] well, no dual-boot issues here; all our computers run only ubuntu. [08:15] !give ikonia a test [08:15] * Ed54 gives ikonia :ikonia!n=mattd@unaffiliated/ikonia PRIVMSG #ubuntu :+!give ikonia a test. [08:15] * PL|Snoozing gives ikonia a Wiimote. [08:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:15] * PL|Snoozing gives Ed54 a Goomba. [08:15] * schwezzy gives ikonia a hydraulic pump [08:15] ActionParsnip I like Ubuntu, and the problem I have only one. [08:16] What would be a good work around? [08:16] Sabir: fine, but linux isnt competing with anything [08:16] filthynoob :) nice nick... [08:16] hi all [08:17] manas, welcome [08:17] byebye bots... [08:17] thanks === root is now known as Guest12378 [08:17] there's no icon for my laptop battery on my panel [08:17] can i add it there?? [08:17] :< wut do i do [08:18] OK [08:18] manas: system > preferences > power management I think [08:18] so I had an issue earlier today with changing the path for sudo.. [08:18] Hi [08:18] manas, I am looking under the panel Add to panel hold on [08:18] anyone know why, when I type "uptime" it tells me there are two people connected? [08:18] I'm connecting over putty fyi [08:18] if anyone else had this issue, please just google 'sudo sudoers path' or something, and upgrade to 9.10 for a bug fix [08:19] Cuddles: which two people? [08:19] I lost power during nvidia upgrade. I got it to work, but hw acceleration doesn't work. I tried switching driver versions, uninstalling reinstalling. Keeps saying the kernel module is a different version than the driver. Anyone know how to fix this? [08:19] hi [08:19] Just sez 2 users [08:19] manas: system > preferences > power management, general tab, when to display the battery icon is on there [08:19] thanks [08:19] Cuddles: type: who [08:19] Brack10: do you have the kernel headers for your running kernel? [08:19] manas, I see nothing under panel / add to panel [08:20] ActionParsnip: I don't know [08:20] manas, there are (I believe) three options for showing the power state.. [08:20] ahh [08:20] Brack10: run: uname -a that is your running kernel [08:20] coz_: it's not there, it's in power management settings [08:20] thanks zcat [08:20] Linux travis-desktop 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [08:20] Brack10: run: dpkg -l | grep linux | grep head [08:20] Brack10: i dont want the output, its for you to read [08:20] zcat[1], ah ok thanks I will try to remember that :) [08:20] thx losha, looks like its just me, but why am I connected twice? [08:20] ActionParsnip: Yes I have them [08:21] Cuddles, I have 3 users showing [08:21] Cuddles, they're both you. Can't remember the gory details, but two is normal [08:21] im back [08:21] Brack10: ok what's the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [08:21] kk thx again! [08:21] except in 10.04 the gnome developers will probably remove the option to configure it... [08:21] no help at all in the crunchbang section [08:21] Cuddles, terminal winows open? [08:21] Cuddles: I bet a previous connection didn't terminate properly. It's ok to ignore it unless it's using up lots of cpu time... [08:21] !toi [08:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about toi [08:21] !tuxonice [08:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about tuxonice [08:21] crazyivan: yes there is they wold you where to go - that does not mean this channel is support for you [08:22] Not sure, no monitor on the ubuntu sys, running putty [08:22] * greezmunkey hates his "d" key [08:22] ActionParsnip: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2) [08:22] !botabuse | MJEvans [08:22] MJEvans: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [08:22] also, ubuntu is asking for authentication for almost everything i do [08:22] Was anyone in here asking about tuxonice about 30 min ago? [08:22] ikonia, damn why dont you get off my ass! I've barely been in here 5 seconds and you want to kick me [08:22] are their any settings to do away with this [08:22] crazyivan: no - I want you to respect the topic, exactly as I told you before [08:23] !info tuxonice-userui [08:23] tuxonice-userui (source: tuxonice-userui): user-space interfaces for TuxOnIce. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0-1 (karmic), package size 1090 kB, installed size 2380 kB (Only available for i386 ia64 powerpc ppc64 amd64) [08:23] ikonia and i'll tell you exactly as i've told you before, get off my ass [08:23] zcat[1]: thanks [08:23] Brack10: ok run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove then reboot, after run: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-185-modaliases [08:23] ikonia you assume ima get off topic, Obviously now i am cus you lead me to it [08:23] I'm on hardy, a fresh upgrade you could maybe say, and want to install a package that wants libgnutls26. Appearently libgnutls26 isnt available in hardy. Whats your suggestion? I am reading on the forums about this [08:23] can someone translate http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1825991.html for me? [08:23] but there are many suggestions [08:23] manas, you can set Ubuntu up to have passwordless sudo, but this is NOT recommended... [08:23] ActionParsnip: sounds like you know wtf you're talking about. Will do [08:24] Brack10: you could also try the alpha 190 driver [08:24] ActionParsnip: I'm in [08:24] wait alpha...hm [08:24] or could this be a simple issue of my sources.list being "not otpimal" ? [08:24] oh ok Madpilot [08:24] Brack10: if you read it, its very logical [08:24] then il just leave it as it is [08:24] What are the risks of saving files in your root directory? [08:24] ActionParsnip: is 190 alpha relatively stable? [08:24] and any benefit over 180? [08:24] filthynoob, sorry, I was watching the show...translate what please? [08:25] Brack10: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978 yeah I use them on my 6150 works fine [08:25] Is there like a pdflatex mode in emacs? I'm using M-x compile at the moment, just seems like it could be a waste of key strokes and there's probably a faster solution. [08:26] are there any limits of how much memory can be on a pc/server running ubuntu? ie 8GB should be fine right? [08:26] Brack10: if you are gonna use the 190, install it after the reboot so you remove all the old nvidia stuff [08:26] AdvoWork, good question [08:26] ActionParsnip: you're the man [08:27] sybariten: where's the package coming from? If it wasn't build for hardy, it might never work... [08:27] i am tunneling vnc through putty, i start the x11vnc service through putty then usually connect through vnc without a password. But now it asks for a password i havent set [08:27] any ideas? [08:27] anyone know of there is tool to help me download stuff? My wifi is chop and a lot of what I download is currupted [08:27] AdvoWork: There are no ubuntu imposed memory limits. However if you run a 32 bit kernel/install then obviously only 4gb at most will be supported (some of which will be used for mapping system hardware like video-cards). If you use a 64 bit kernel then potentially all installed memory might be used; provided your motherboard supports it. === b0w is now known as b0w[out] [08:28] MJEvans, (thanks) good to know === ann1 is now known as anneta [08:28] losha: no, i see your point. Its a chatlient, weechat, and i've added their own repo to sources.list (i dont know much about repositories!) ... they said that "99 percent of the times, Debian stable packages will work on hardy" [08:28] greezmunkey: None of my systems have >4GB of RAM, but two of my systems have 4GB of actual RAM usable, plus the memory-mapped devices. [08:29] losha: so i suppose these are "debian stable" packages i am trying to install. [08:29] I have a strange problem with karmic (dual boot) : when I boot Windows XP, the next time I try to boot, the grub menu disappears and I have to reinstall grub manually. any idea ? [08:29] Kerio: why have you not set a password on the VNC server? [08:29] hey wsup all [08:29] sybariten, and 1% of the time, they'll eat your brains :) [08:29] sybariten: well congratulations, you just hit the 1%.... [08:30] sybariten, you do know that weechat is in the Ubuntu universe repo, right? [08:30] does anyone like ubuntu 9.10 [08:30] !info weechat [08:30] weechat (source: weechat): Fast, light and extensible IRC client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.6.3-1 (karmic), package size 1 kB, installed size 56 kB [08:30] hiya ActionParsnip [08:30] would anyone know how someone could have "booted in single mode and with i915.modeset=0" [08:30] jimbeam12: s'alright, pretty much the same for me since gutsy [08:30] madpilor, losh: in a way, yes... but maybe if i got the libgnutls26 into the system, there wont be a problem. But i dont know how dangerous _that_ is [08:30] the new version of weechat is much better, but not packaged that I know :( [08:30] jimbeam12: and howdy [08:30] !ls [08:30] MJEvans, nice, I was planning to bump my "server" to 4GB, I didn't even think about a potential limit in the OS. There are some brainstorm entries mentioning a practical limit of just over 3GB, but you can use 4. That's good. Thanks again. [08:30] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [08:30] Madpilot, not Madpilor [08:31] losha, not losh [08:31] rww: ppa-search.appspot.com [08:31] yeah a few bugs with ati radeon cards trying to remove the watermark but all fixed now [08:31] Madpilot: yes i know, but its an old unsupported version... for my hardy.... ofcourse. [08:31] sybariten, you'll quickly (very, very quickly) wander into dependency hell, and breaking your entire system. libgnutls26 will depend on something else, etc etc === swiftarrow_ is now known as swiftarrow [08:31] Hi all. [08:32] sybariten, is upgrading your Hardy install to a newer non-LTS version of Ubuntu not a possibility? [08:32] sybariten: well, you can try compiling weechat from source, but then you may also need to compile libgnutls26 etc. etc. and who knows where it will end? [08:32] Madpilot: yeah.... linux hell [08:32] i was about to throw the towel in ActionParsnip but found the answer last sec..hehe [08:32] ActionParsnip: which doesn't turn up anything, so it's still not packaged that I know of ;P [08:32] i set ubuntu 9.10 in a vm, and i set the resolution higher. but it didn't take, i have something akin to a video200 like screen, the display thing has "lost" the larger resolutions, how do i set my screensize back to a proper 4:3 aspect res? please.. this is preventing me from updating [08:32] Madpilot: you mean distro upgrading to Jacky or whatever they are called? Jaunty? [08:32] rww: yeah s'only got 2.6.1 but theres nothing stopping ypu compiling it [08:32] sybariten, you'd have to go Hardy->Intrepid->Jaunty - no skipping versions [08:32] losha: it won't. :-) [08:33] ActionParsnip: which I did. You're overhelping ;P [08:33] rww: bah, share the deb dude ;) [08:33] Madpilot: yeah, the thing is i just did a distro upgrade last night, from gutsy to hardy. i thought that would be the Solution To All Problems [08:33] been running gutsy for some years [08:33] rww ActionParsnip yes there is, once you compile your own kernal, the #ubuntu chan, by policy, can't help you (or was that lifted?) [08:33] i guess i believed that if a version is "non-dead", it means it has new packages but appearently it doesnt work like that [08:34] ActionParsnip: I don't have a deb of it. I compiled it from source, and distributing checkinstall debs is problematic. [08:34] greezmunkey: Again, even when using only 4gb of RAM you have to go to the amd64 version of ubuntu to do that for consumer hardware (you must also have a recent processor; at least the Athlon64 and later or something like Intel Core2 or later) [08:34] gartral: i thought we were on about weechat [08:34] sybariten: so 3 solutions: a) upgrade or b) use the old version of hardy weechat or c) compile from source. The only easy one is (b) [08:34] sybariten, the LTS releases are stable, but not the newest stuff. that's the LTS tradeoff. If you want the new shiny, you have to dist-upgrade past the LTS [08:34] * gartral read wrong name/post combo [08:34] * ActionParsnip does it all the time [08:34] Madpilot: ok, first, what does LTS mean? [08:34] i set ubuntu 9.10 in a vm, and i set the resolution higher. but it didn't take, i have something akin to a video200 like screen, the display thing has "lost" the larger resolutions, how do i set my screensize back to a proper 4:3 aspect res? please.. this is preventing me from updating ... [08:34] !lts [08:34] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [08:34] !LTS [08:35] sybariten, "Long Term Support" [08:35] ah ok [08:35] MJEvans, IOW 64bit ver, right. [08:35] ActionParsnip: Did what you said, same result [08:35] that repost wasn't intentional, i hit my "backup and enter" macro key trying to typeout !lts [08:35] gartral: have you tried using the xrandr -size command? [08:35] so Madpilot is there any way of doing a good assumption of "how far i have to go" in order to get this weechat i want? I mean, it could be all the way to karmic i guess [08:36] ActionParsnip: travis-desktop kernel: [ 26.070259] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 180.51, but [08:36] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 180.44. Please [08:36] what's that SSH shortcut, where instead of typing out the full "ssh user@hostblahblahblah" I can type out "ssh server" and it'll know "server" means "user@blahblahblah" ? [08:36] sybariten: that's a lot of effort for a stupid irc client.... [08:36] losha: yes, it just errors out, saying the device doesn't support resizing [08:36] gartral: sorry, that was my best shot... [08:37] sybariten, packages.ubuntu.com - check for weechat in all verisons, check which Ubuntu release has the weechat version you want [08:37] losha: no, a lot of effort is installing an OS just to run old software on it... [08:37] Brack10: did you remove all the nvidia packages? then add the nvidia repo and install the 190 driver? [08:37] ActionParsnip: no, what's the nvidia repo? [08:37] Brack10: i gave you a link. i'll give it again [08:38] Brack10: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978 [08:38] Brack10: actually not that one [08:38] sybariten: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/weechat [08:38] Brack10: much easier: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-190-25-beta-drivers-in-ubuntu-jauntyintrepidhardy.html [08:39] thanks [08:39] ActionParsnip: heh, apparently lucid has 3.0.2 anyway, so I guess I can stop using a compiled version :) [08:39] 0.3.0 ** [08:39] rww: nice [08:40] for any package not in the main repos, I always google 'foo ppa' and see if there's a ppa of it somewhere [08:40] ActionParsnip: here we go again :) [08:40] Brack10: remove the old first, reboot, then follow that [08:40] Greetings all, anyone have a link to a tutorial for recovering Ubuntu 9.04 GRUB4DOS stuff that has been installed within Windows environment? The standard GRUB recovery method doesn't work [08:41] Madpilot: ok, interesting, i dont see 0.3.x of weechat in any of those releases, although the weechat page itself mentions at least karmic ..... for apt/deb. I'm confused [08:41] zcat[1]: thank you.... [08:41] MaxNomad: if its installed in windows, doesnt that make it a windows app? [08:42] MaxNomad: I have only a guess what grub4dos does, but the simple solution is likely just installing grub normally and then fixing whatever garbage is left in the windows area. [08:42] sybariten, some Linux projects use a numbering convention where odd numbers are unstable testing releases, even are stable mainstream releases - weechat might do this? [08:42] dpes grub2 use menu.lst ? [08:42] gribouille: no it uses grub.cfgwhich is generated using scripts [08:42] gribouille: you want to look at the files in /etc/grub/ [08:42] !grub2 | gribouille [08:42] gribouille: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:43] how can i add the VLC player on UBuntu LIVE DVD [08:43] ok, thanks [08:43] gribouille: you CAN edit the file but next time a new kernel is added the scripts will be ran and the change will be lost [08:43] hum... sticking around during thanksgiving... Happy holiday for any in the US [08:43] gribouille: to make them permanent you must addd stuff to the config scripts [08:43] MJEvans: I tried that and it was a no go... even tried the SuperGrubDisk route... [08:44] Madpilot: hm, no, i dont think so in this case. [08:44] what's that SSH shortcut, where instead of typing out the full "ssh user@hostblahblahblah" I can type out "ssh server" and it'll know "server" means "user@hostblahblahblah" ? [08:44] I installed KDE in Ubuntu and it fucked up everthing. Gnome loaded mouse cursors, KDE loaded screenlets and avant. Nasty [08:44] ActionParsnip: I have a strange problem with karmic (dual boot) : when I boot Windows XP, the next time I try to boot, the grub menu disappears and I have to reinstall grub manually. any idea ? [08:44] MaxNomad: SGD won't work if you don't have a proper /boot area setup first. [08:44] goose: wouldnt you need something like putty for that? [08:44] gribouille: not sure, maybe its a bug. I dont dual boot [08:45] sybariten: don't think so. my old SA used to do that. I forgot how, though. and my server's host name is uncomfortably long. [08:45] Azeotrope: there's a howto on removing it but I can't recall where... ;) [08:45] goose: are you using bash? [08:45] MaxNomad: Read how to install Grub / Grub2 for the first time; manually; from a booted linux install. Be prepared to recover your windows mbr via some method. Good luck. [08:45] sybariten: yes [08:45] goose: you can set this in ~/.ssh/config, look at man ssh_config for more info [08:45] goose: well then you dont have a problem. Either makea function, or type ctrl-r and a part of the servername :) [08:45] fsc: thank you [08:45] zcat[1]: I managed to uninstall it with no side effects but.. I'm kinda disappointed... [08:45] MJEvans: yeah, SGD didn't work but that eventually served to remind me that when I originally installed this version I had it install *within* Windows... it's not on a separate partition [08:46] MaxNomad: /boot -can- sometimes be on your root partition... [08:46] is grub1 available on karmic ? [08:46] MJEvans, so basically, if we use 4gb on 2 servers, were fine installing ubuntu 32bit kernel, 8gb needs 64bit, aslong as the mobo is fine with that? [08:46] mjevans 'sometimes'? I thought it was th default? [08:47] AdvoWork: or PAE [08:48] * ActionParsnip kicks his SQL server [08:49] where do i turn off that obnoxious ticking noise? [08:49] schmukkk: when does it occur? [08:49] i am tunneling vnc through putty, i start the x11vnc service through putty then usually connect through vnc without a password. But now it asks for a password i havent set [08:49] when clicking gtk buttons [08:49] one more question how come I cant pint thru putty, to a web address IE: "ping google.com" [08:49] any ideas? [08:49] yet I can ping other computers in my network [08:49] Kerio: you may find its the password on the vnc server [08:50] ActionParsnip: dpkg complains about dependency problems when trying to install 190 or 185 [08:50] but i havent set any password [08:50] Brack10: can you pastebin the outputs please [08:50] Kerio: why not? [08:50] cause i thought it was secure enough to start the x11vnc through putty each time i was gonna connect [08:51] schmukkk: check in sound prefs, you can set sounds for stuff there, I simply uninstall ubuntu-sounds and they all get removed [08:51] schmukkk, System->Prefs->Sound, make sure "window/button sounds" is unticked [08:51] aha [08:51] Kerio: looks like its needed, I'd set one too as folks on your lan may connect and spy on you too [08:51] ill uninstall, as i dont have pulseaudio i cant so system-prefs->sound [08:51] *uninstall ubuntu-sounds [08:51] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m49ad932a [08:52] but how will they know if i tunnel it shrough ssh2?

[08:52] pong [08:52] anyways, what could the password be if i havent set any??? [08:53] Is it a security issue to ping through putty? [08:53] Cuddles, ? [08:53] gribouille: it means grub-legacy isn't a package in your current repositories. I think you're looking for the "grub" package. [08:53] this happend after i installed some secutiry updates [08:53] if I try to "ping google.com" it doesnt do anything yet if I ping another computer on the network it does [08:53] rww, I want to replace grub2 with the old grub [08:54] gribouille: "grub" is the old grub. "grub-pc" (or -efi or whatever if you're not on standard hardware) is grub 2. [08:54] gribouille: I'm not sure if you have to do additional steps to get it to work, though. [08:54] i dont get it, putty is warning me that "im running vnc without a password" still it ask for a password [08:55] ActionParsnip: any idea? [08:55] Brack10: sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms [08:55] Brack10: i'm websearching dude, i'm not THAT fast [08:55] a password i havent set. Any ideas of what this could be or a solution for resetting it? [08:55] ActionParsnip: heh. what's dkms? [08:55] What encryption does 9.10 use?

[08:58] manas: add the window list to panel so you can see it [08:58] i jut want to see the windows that i minimize at the panel at the bottom of the screen so that i can toggle between the windows [08:58] ahh thanks indus [08:59] manas: its one of the outright stupidity of ubuntu [08:59] can someone tell me how I can remove grub2 and install the old grub instead ? [08:59] this is gonna sound strange as hell, but i wanna pull the .deb for php5-curl from 9.04's package repo and install it from a file vs. through download via apt-get (mainly cuz my system's having issues w/ connectivity outside of my VM right now) is this possible? [08:59] no one here seems to have noticed it though [08:59] one thing more [08:59] im new to linux [08:59] so i dont know much about it [08:59] manas: yeah tell me [09:00] ActionParsnip: Seemed to work [09:00] i have downloaded skype for linux [09:00] but how do i install it [09:00] except I can't enable compiz for some reason [09:00] it is something which should be enabled default, but like idiots we keep searching where our windows disappeared [09:00] Brack10: coolness [09:00] manas: which skype did you download [09:00] Brack10: does: nvidia-settings moan at all? [09:00] the one for ubuntu 8.10 [09:00] manas: does it have a .deb extentin [09:01] u need to remove all 3 rd party repo then only you can install the good feature in compiz [09:01] bbl [09:01] just a sec [09:01] manas: well double click then [09:01] oh [09:01] gribouille: apt-get install grub [09:01] i face the same issue in my laptop [09:01] I think [09:01] ActionParsnip: doesn't seem to [09:01] thanks i was using mandriva before this and in that when i clicked on it just displayed all the files [09:01] rww, when I install grub, it installs grub-common, which is "GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2" [09:01] so i thought it would be the samehere [09:02] indus: my kids can figure out how to add things to the panel... it can't be that difficult to figure out ;) [09:02] Brack10: ok then you can run: ccsm to configure compiz, to run it press alt+f2 and type compiz --replace [09:02] Brack10: if it doesnt work, run it in a terminal to get messages and use those to websearch [09:02] zcat[1]: i shouldnt be searching for an applet as simple as windows list [09:02] gribouille: bleh, so it does. I have no idea, then. [09:02] also, i have installed wine because i cant really live without MS word, thats perhaps the only thing because of which i still have windows [09:03] zcat[1]: you assume all users will search heaven and earth to figure out where windows disappeared, how can ubuntu be so stupid [09:03] but when i try to install ms office using wine, it gives me an error [09:03] !appdb | manas [09:03] manas: 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 [09:03] zcat[1]: 3 years and it still is the same [09:03] indus, everything on Ubuntu's panels is a applet, so it's all re-arrangable. Try that in MS... [09:03] indus: it's only a problem is you DELETE one of the panels.. in the default install everything is there [09:03] manas: not all apps run in wine, some refuse to install, some install and run weird, you should check the appdb to avoid disappointment [09:04] zcat[1]: hmm yeah ok got it now [09:04] im sorry , but whats appdp, seems to be application database by the short form [09:04] zcat[1]: Madpilot aah missed that completely, i always delete the panel to create new one. thats why [09:04] indus: the thing to do is move everything to one panel before you delete the other [09:04] manas: ive ran 2003 in wine but realised that Abiword is a hell of a lot smaller and does exactly the same [09:04] ok my mistake, bad oversight [09:04] manas: read the factoid ubottu gave [09:04] hi [09:05] * indus hides [09:05] hello can anyone tell me - can you force gimp to run inside one single window [09:05] indus, right-click, Add To Panel - *everything* on the default panel is there somewhere, as well as a whole pile of other stuff [09:05] Madpilot: yes i know, i just couldnt figure out before why i cant see my windows [09:05] klong, no. Run it on it's own desktop instead. [09:05] klong: there's a plugin or something for that but why would you want to? [09:05] manas: appdb is an application database for wine [09:05] Madpilot: +1 [09:06] i am tunneling vnc through putty, i start the x11vnc service through putty then usually connect through vnc without a password. But now it asks for a password i havent set [09:06] any ideas? [09:06] manas: it shows you status of apps which work in wine [09:06] manas: it tells you what will and wont run and if you need any special settings or files for each app [09:06] klong: the development version actually allow you to merge the windows into one, but it's not perfect yet [09:06] manas: which app are you trying to run? [09:06] MS office 2007 [09:06] how come if i install php5 it really installs php5-common? [09:06] manas: try open office will yea [09:06] i'm upgrading to 9.04 from 8.10 [09:07] sure [09:07] very exciting [09:07] is it a symlink? [09:07] quizme: thats called a downgrade :) [09:07] indus 9.04 doesn't work well ? [09:07] you people are not fast at all [09:07] manas: as you won't click the link yourself: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 [09:07] How can I recover the root password ? I tried different options on the web but none of them seems to be working and I don't have livecd [09:07] you should see the slackware room [09:07] manas: looks like it needs a bit of work but gets a silver rating so it will run but some stuff may be weird or not work [09:08] quizme: you upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04? [09:08] slooooooooow as crap [09:08] what do you mean, "you people"?? [09:08] indus: yeah then to 9.10 [09:08] and for some reason my sudo user has been deleted from the sudoers [09:08] :( [09:08] quizme: hmm you said 9.04 to 8.10 , check [09:08] ftab: boot to recovery root console and add the user to the admin group [09:08] ftab: at the grub menu press 'e' then select second line and press 'e' again, add 'init=/bin/bash' to the end of the line, press enter then 'b' [09:08] ftab: type sudo passwd [09:08] indus: i said "to 9.04" [09:08] !noroot | indus [09:08] indus: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [09:08] quizme: check your post :) [09:08] it says "setup cannot contiinue because required file if corrupted or not available, run setup again from origional source or download location" [09:08] indus: i just did [09:09] !wfm [09:09] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [09:09] quizme: aah i misplaced the to and from [09:09] yikes [09:09] what are the '-common' versions of packages in apt for? [09:09] ftab: boot to recovery mode then select root, you can now re-add the user to the admin group which will allow you to use sudo [09:09] indus: hehe [09:09] quizme: so what si the problem [09:09] quizme: :D [09:09] indus: no problem yet, but i'm sure there will be. [09:09] BEEP [09:09] ActionParsnip, how do I go to root recovery console ? [09:10] so .. is there a way out?? ;-) [09:10] quizme: quick, what place is hague in [09:10] ftab: reboot and select it in grub [09:10] indus: are you quizzing me ? [09:10] :D [09:10] How do I chose which users should appear in the login menu screen? I have one user that I want to be in the list but doesn't appear. [09:10] ok let me try [09:10] ftab: .. which should get you a root shell (with / mounted ro..) 'mount / -o remount,rw' to make / rw, then 'passwd' to change the root password, then 'mount / -o remount,ro' and you can hit the reset button to reboot. [09:10] * ikonia reminds the channel of the topic [09:10] indus: william hague, kent I think [09:10] Can someone help me with a skype problem [09:10] manas: hello waiting [09:11] !skype | craig___ [09:11] i wrote it [09:11] craig___: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [09:11] indus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hague [09:11] the error [09:11] !who | manas [09:11] manas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [09:11] it says "setup cannot contiinue because required file if corrupted or not available, run setup again from origional source or download location" [09:11] indus: pretty good huh [09:11] manas: yeah re download [09:11] quizme: how lame [09:11] :) [09:11] manas: yes, i gave you a link with the steps you need to take from the appdb which I also gave you a link to [09:11] indus: call it genius if you like [09:12] psst back to topic [09:12] i even tried with a another setup file of MS OFFICE [09:12] manas: it means your download is corrupted , please redownload, also, delete the older file [09:12] Hi zcat[1], it's not installed on ubuntu. The problem is when I rdp into other machines. If i paste something from ubuntu into the rdp session and into skype, skype crashes. [09:12] manas: are you even listening to me [09:12] craig___: 'so don't do that then!' [09:13] manas: use my nick in your message or i will miss it [09:13] manas: [09:13] manas: [09:13] manas: [09:13] indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] yes i will [09:13] manas: you dont just run the setup file, you can do it a billion times it will do the exact same thing. I gave you a link to the steps you need to take with a link, i even gave you a link to the appdb itself [09:13] if i install from CD will my /home directory get wiped out ? [09:14] ActionParsnip: what link [09:14] quizme: only if you choose to wipe it. [09:14] i'm thinking it might be faster to just upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10 [09:14] quizme: no it wont [09:14] zcat[1], The problem is that I need to. [09:14] k [09:14] thanks [09:14] quizme: unless the cd is laced with floor cleaner [09:14] ActionParsnip:im doing just that [09:14] indus: manas: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 [09:14] manas: nice appreciation / acknowledgement then [09:15] quizme: by default, the instalelr will only resize things, if you do the advanced partition thing and intentionally choose to delete or reformat /home then it will be wiped out.. but otherwise, no... [09:15] ActionParsnip: wow seesm to run fine with wine [09:16] I want to save my alsamixer settings. sudo alsactl store gives output "Home directory /home/danne not ours." What is the F***ing problem? [09:16] quizme: choose manual partition, select / and format option, /home and keep date option [09:16] indus: does, just takes a little effort [09:16] indus: its also a 4Gb install [09:17] ActionParsnip: 4 gb for ms office , lol why [09:18] indus: ask MS [09:18] danne__: try sudo -H [09:19] danne__: try sudo -H alsactl store [09:19] * indus emails william@microsoft.com [09:19] but i think open office does take 500 mb [09:19] zcat[1]: The man is empty [09:19] does anyone use lenovo y450? I can't adjust brightness [09:20] zcat[1]: The werid thing is that it says the directory is not "OURS" [09:20] danne__: the problem is that sudo runs things as root but by default keeps the current user's environment (home, etc) .. so alsactl sees that it's running as root but the home directory (/home/danne) is owned by user danne [09:21] zcat[1]: okey, but if I write "alsactl store" I get permission denied [09:21] .. so adding the option -H to sudo will make it run as root AND change the home directory to /root [09:22] zcat[1]: alsactl: save_state:1530: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: Permission on denied [09:22] hopefully that will work [09:22] ActionParsnip, [09:22] I went to the recovery mode [09:22] indus: yep and abiword + gnumeric is around 30Mb [09:22] everybody, why can not use gedit edit grub.cfg ? [09:22] there in blue screen it asked me for many options [09:23] m3onh0x84__b: you don't [09:23] ActionParsnip: i use abiword,its nice, messes formatting a little , i hear gnumeric is even better as an application [09:23] danne__: try 'sudo -H alsactl store' -- it seems to work here [09:23] ActionParsnip, so I am not sure how to login with out a password? [09:23] :( [09:23] m3onh0x84__b: that file is generated using grub2 scripts, so next time you get a new kernel the changes will be lost [09:23] zcat[1]: nope... [09:23] ftab: you dont need a password for root recovery mode, it just drops you to it, you can then use commands without sudo as you are root [09:24] danne__: weird...

Can anyone else with an updated KK system tell whether they experience this? [09:25] ftab: look out below [09:25] danne__: "ls -ld /var/lib/alsa/" [09:25] indus, when I select that It asks me a maintenance password [09:26] zcat[1]: I got an idea... I conf directly in terminal /var/lib/alsa/asound.state =D [09:26] or press Control D [09:26] ftab:yeah press ctl d [09:26] ftab: thatz it [09:26] indus, when I press that it just exits to that menu [09:26] ftab: I already gave you the answer.. scroll back.

[10:14] indus: yes [10:14] b3rz3rk3r: Maybe, I will look for that. Thanks. [10:14] ActionParsnip: On trying to follow those steps [10:14] Has anyone seen google wave? [10:14] tonii, ActionParsnip :: i tried to get the minimal command line bootup, i think i did some mistake, is there anything later than i686 [10:15] I made a terrible mistake, I wanted to have a new xorg-version on a ubuntu 9.04 so I added the karmic repository source to source.list, I've updated evrything I could, and now, as expected, the system doesn't boot anymore... So now I'm on my gentoo, chrooted in the buggy ubuntu, and I have removed the source line in source.list, but I'd like to do is something like reinstalling all packages to the newest available version *in* source [10:15] Mrokii, np, let me know if you come up with anything, so i can reccomend to others in future yeah? [10:15] plitter: just make sure, when you but, the url says https [10:15] b3rz3rk3r: okay :) [10:15] buy* [10:15] noren: no [10:16] indus: didnt quite get that:P make sure the adress is https when dealing with money? [10:16] morgie [10:16] someone type my name [10:16] plitter: yeah online transactions page will have an https secure connection [10:16] plitter: always verified and signed [10:16] The thing I'd like apt to do for me would to update all packages to the latest version in the repository, even if the version is older than the one installed on my system, is it possible ? [10:16] plitter: so do check [10:16] Morgie [10:17] Morgie, ??? [10:17] Snyfer: you'd have to remove the current one first [10:17] indus: it did, its when i try to login to the site that i get the message that says that they cant promise that the site is safe [10:17] Snyfer: or you may be able to use: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename === eli_ is now known as Elirips [10:17] indus: rather they cant promise that the connection is safe [10:17] im trying to get the beep to work [10:17] plitter: hmm check with the site then [10:18] ActionParsnip: wow okay... and is it possible to --reinstall all installed packages on my system ? [10:18] when someone types my name [10:18] plitter: if its only for the login page, then its ok i guess [10:18] indus: k, thanks:) [10:18] Snyfer: you could use the ubuntu-desktop metapackage to reinstall a whole lot in one go [10:18] Im facing a problem with Kopete. I have a creative cam and when i send the cam my chat friend does not receive the request. If my friend send me the request i can accept it but i dont see anything. I running ubuntu 9.10 on dell E6400. Anyway my can does'nt work fine even with other programs. It works fine with CAMORAMA [10:18] plitter: it says thesame for my bank too :) , but later its secure [10:19] b3rz3rk3r: Okay, it seems that "glipper" does the trick. It kept text-snippets from Evolution and gEdit, even when the apps were closed. [10:19] indus: hehehe, k, so firefox is overprotective:P [10:19] ActionParsnip: yeah but right now I only have a command line on my ubuntu :) [10:19] Snyfer: if its not in that then you may have to dig deeper, you could use the clone factoid and tell the system to install reinstall EVERYTHING but its gonna take tiiiiiiiime [10:19] plitter: if it says encrypted, then its safe === malnilion__ is now known as malnilion [10:19] plitter: you said it doesnt? [10:19] plitter: then dont buy [10:19] Snyfer: then the ubuntu-desktop package will be fine [10:19] Mrokii, alright! nice one man, thx. Il remember that for future [10:19] plitter: actually can you rephrase [10:20] b3rz3rk3r: np === morgie is now known as M0rg13 [10:20] plitter: on the login page, when you click on icon, does it say verified by bla bla [10:20] Fresh install of Karmic seems to screw up the framebuffer somehow. Notify-OSD and System Monitor are bonkers. Anyone know how to fix that? [10:21] plitter: all transaction and login pages should be verified [10:21] indus: the page that i bought credit on was https, when i pressed login on their page it said that the security certificate was out of date or something [10:21] plitter: hmm out of date [10:21] plitter: cant guarantee [10:22] plitter: firefox asked to add exception ? [10:22] indus: yes [10:22] plitter: out of date certificates are not good :) [10:22] ActionParsnip: thank you for your help [10:22] Snyfer: np man [10:23] plitter: stay away from it [10:23] plitter: stay away from it [10:23] M0rg13, got your beep working?

[10:37] Is anyone using xen [10:37] and what release of ubuntu are you using it on [10:38] is it true that most of the app in ubuntu are compiles for i386 architecture and not i686 ?? [10:38] Just upgraded from Jakalope to Koala and sound no longer works. Tried everything on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats -- what do I do next? (Newbie, please be gentle...) === KnightWhoSaysNi is now known as UdontKnow [10:39] morning all, would anyone be able to help me upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? I know you should do a full install, but I have 9.04 currently installed but i deleted the boot entry in the boot.ini file in windows and can't seem to get th grub menu to pull up... any ideas? [10:39] !sound | digen [10:39] digen: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:39] zortec: live-cd and repair menu.lst [10:40] I don't have a livecd on me... just create a 9.10 one and use that to fix the menu? [10:41] the other question I have is, do you really need to upgrade from jaunty to karmic? is the upgrade really worth it in the long run? I know some people are waiting for 10.04 to come out [10:42] zortec: if your jaunty runs, it isn't [10:42] ubottu: thanks. [10:42] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:43] my jaunty runs fine, but wanted to use ext4 and grub2 which I read offered much improvements over their counterparts [10:43] just trying to get enough information to decide if I should do a full install of karmic or leave jaunty for now [10:43] zortec: you can use ext4 in jaunty too, grub2 improvements... not seen one yet [10:43] zortec: for single boots, not really [10:44] so people are successfully upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 and not having too many issues? [10:44] zortec: if you have a spare usb storage around, you can install to that and test it before comitting to the internal drive [10:44] the last time I was in the irc room, it was suggested you do a fresh install and not an upgrade [10:44] !give ikonia a test [10:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:44] * schwezzy` gives ikonia a boy scout [10:44] hmm [10:44] zortec: try an upgrade, if their are too many issues, clean install [10:45] 6c/win 91 [10:45] schwezzy`: please disable that [10:45] it is disabled, heh [10:45] ok, will give that a shot... and the only way to fix the boot.ini file in windows so that I can boot into ubuntu is to use a live-cd and repair menu.lst? [10:46] !give schwezzy` test [10:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:46] I deleted the boot entry in my boot.ini file so have no way to escape into the grub menu to boot up ubuntu if that helps [10:47] zortec: i dont think the win boot loader can boot CD. I believe menu.lst is c:\wubi/boot\grub\menu.lst [10:47] does anybody have a preferred IDE for java? preferably something that isn't eclipse and isn't a 40 ton truck? [10:47] hmm, what can I do to resolve the issue where I deleted the boot entry, is there a way to put it back?

I despise wubi [10:49] zortec: its not on windows, its on linux [10:49] I'm not using wubi.

What on earth [10:52] zortec: use a live-cd, go to /boot/grub/menu.lst (linux) and fix your menu.lst the boot.ini from windows has NOTHING to do with grub is showing [10:52] someone tried sending me the file too [10:52] zortec: it will be the file on the partition, the live cd environment will have the file too [10:53] iceroot: so what I did was to delete it from menu.lst and that is why it doesn't show up now? [10:53] iceroot: Just FYI, Karmic doesn't have a /boot/grub/menu.lst file [10:53] zortec: you may need to run: gksudo nautilus (or whatever file browser, text editor as root) so you can edit the file [10:53] iceroot: and would be why I need to fix the menu.lst file? [10:53] ardchoille: we are talking about jaunty if i am correct [10:53] @zortec nope my upgrade from .04 to .10 was woeful. Luckily my data was in the network, and I have an auto install package script, so setup wasn't too painful. [10:53] where can I find this google chrome os ?

[10:54] llutz, ActionParsnip: thank you [10:55] zortec: ok, again... use a live-cd, then go to /boot/grub/menu.lst and repair that file [10:55] zortec: every normal ubuntu-cd is a live-cd too [10:56] iceroot: ok, I can do that... it's just that I thought maybe there was a solution that didn't require making a live-cd unless I have one lying around here [10:56] zortec: it will be in /media//boot/grub/menu.lst [10:56] zortec: no [10:56] iceroot: mounted partition remember ;) [10:56] zortec: you can do it from windows if ifs-driver for ext2 are installed [10:56] anyone help with hidden wpa on 9.04 not authenticating? [10:56] llutz: sorry, but you lost me if what is installed? [10:57] colon: you can tell network manager to connect to hidden ESSIDs [10:57] ActionParsnip: live-cd is automounting (if i am correct) [10:57] zortec: ext-driver for windows (fs-driver.org) [10:57] llutz: how do you check if that is installed? [10:57] iceroot: sure but under /media /boot is in the live CD environment [10:57] Hi all! I have an Acer Aspire One (531) which works wonderfully with Ubuntu 9.10 (except for the Bluetooth and Wireless lights, which I can live without). Minor niggle though, everytime the system resumes from suspend/sleep it finds my SD card and starts Thunar. I end up with many instances open, how do I stop this happening. [10:57] zortec: yiou should know what you've installed. makes linux partitions accessible from windows [10:57] colon: you may want to check your card can connect to wpa networks [10:58] llutz: but I don't know if I installed that in windows or not... honestly don't remember [10:58] zortec: check windows then [10:59] zortec: but i doubt you have, since you would remember having linux-fs access from windows [10:59] llutz: no, I haven't [10:59] zortec: live-cd, could be a simple small one, like dsl [11:00] or puppy [11:00] or even xpud (i love xpud) [11:00] or one of the other million available [11:00] llutz: I will go find one, but it might be an older version of ubuntu [11:00] ActionParsnip, yay, you're my hero! I changed wep to wpa on my router, connected 2 nix netbboks, then an xp laptop, and now i have 2 laptops that wont connect. one is ubuntu 9.04, the other crashbang. i tried to get them to connect to hidden network, and it looks like they will authenticate, then it pops up to enter password. The correct password is being entered, but they arent associating. The hidden network now appears on network list [11:00] , though. have tried deleting network and re-creating, to no avail. Any ideas? ubu was connected via wep before change, crashbang is new install. [11:00] llutz: like the 8.10 [11:00] zortec: would be fine [11:00] ActionParsnip: :( yes, you are right [11:00] zortec: you just need ext2-support [11:01] iceroot: got your back bro [11:01] Hello [11:01] Jello [11:01] colon: now you changed the security you buddys may have an issue connecting ;) [11:02] Can anyone please tell me how do I install a packages in my home dir without super-user privileges ? [11:02] terminatorul: a *.deb? or a *.tar.gz? [11:02] magic? [11:02] deb [11:02] Im not sure thats easially doable. Was wondering about that the other day also terminatorul [11:02] terminatorul: if its a deb you MUST have sudo access [11:03] How about a .tar.gz ? [11:03] ActionParsnip, i had some odd entried in router log, hence the upstep in encryption [11:03] terminatorul: without sudo or chroot in /home i dont think its possible [11:03] terminatorul: a deb no way tghat i know of. a compile yourself tar.gz « ./configure --prefix=~/ » works for some porgrams [11:03] terminatorul: source, depends on the source. You can normally compuile stuff and tell it to install whever you want., [11:03] terminatorul: you can compile the source and run it where it sits, you will NOT be able to put it in the system at large for all to use [11:03] I want to install only for me, not for all to use [11:04] terminatorul: use soure, keep it in your home then. [11:04] terminatorul: what are you trying to install? [11:04] I compiled Vim with prefix=/home/adrian.., but the compiled version does not have all the features [11:04] terminatorul: then you can use tar.gz binarys or source and store it in iyour home folder, it will run [11:04] terminatorul: and set the PATH to ~/bin [11:04] How can I tell if my server has ubuntu ? [11:04] terminatorul: install it in ~/bin [11:04] terminatorul: then you need to include more options when you ./configure it [11:04] ActionParsnip, in ubuntu 9.04, i clicked the network manager, clicked connect to hidden network, enetred essid, wpa and pass, and manual ip/subnet/gateway. [11:05] uname only says Linux [11:05] terminatorul: uname -a (i think) [11:05] terminatorul: or try lsb_release [11:05] GNU/Linux [11:05] terminatorul: or try lsb_release -a [11:05] is there a command line tool that can create pdfs from a bunch of image files? [11:05] But apt-get and dpkg are available [11:05] lots of distros use apt-get system [11:05] It says Debian lenny [11:05] Terminator, cat /etc/issues [11:05] ActionParsnip, exactly the same as i did on this netbook, which is ubuntu 9.10 rmx. this had no problems, 9.04 wont associate [11:05] terminatorul: theres your answer then :) [11:06] Terminator, cat /etc/issue [11:06] No such file or directory [11:06] linxeh: yes... search in synaptic for pdf [11:06] colon: no idea dude i dont use network manager [11:06] Oh, sorry [11:06] linxeh: I can't remember the name.. but it's there [11:06] Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 [11:06] heh ok ta [11:06] I have another linux question that has been on the back of my mind... is there any difference in apt-get and aptitude and does one work better than the other? One is obviously shorter to type, but apart from that... any other things? [11:06] ActionParsnip, what do you use? is there a conf somewhere i can set up by text? [11:06] Ok, how do I install a binary .tar.gz in ~/bin ? [11:06] Terminator, is that what you were looking for ? :) [11:06] colon: /etc/network/interfaces is what i use [11:07] terminatorul: debian isnt supported here [11:07] ActionParsnip, thanks, ill go find an example on the web. [11:07] Hey [11:07] zortec: not really.. some minor stuff with dependencies but nothing major [11:07] terminatorul: ./configure --prefix=~/bin [11:07] Slart: is sudo apt-get the preferred method? [11:07] Ok, I joind #debian [11:07] Thank you === morgie is now known as M0rg13 [11:08] thanks [11:08] zortec, all that I know is that you don't have to use them both [11:08] terminatorul: You extract the source and compile it. You proberly DONT want to use --prefix=~/bin, prefix=/home/username or /home/username/app may be better idea [11:08] zortec: whichever you prefer works fine.. I think apt-get is the original.. but both work just a well [11:08] how do I set clean urls with drupal, I have activated the module and altered the default files found in sites-available & enable but the option in the drupal installation is still greyed out, so how do i go about doing it in karmic? [11:08] Slart: dpkg is the original [11:08] Pirate_Hunter: maybe better trying drupal support channels [11:08] indeed [11:08] iceroot: ok, sorry.. apt-get is the originaler of the two =) [11:09] Slart: :) [11:09] ikonia, ok [11:09] :) [11:09] Slart: pdfjam ? [11:09] Thanks Willis. My compiled version is not as good as the packaged one; it is missing some features, and ther are no configure options for them ... [11:09] So I though I would try to install a package [11:10] terminatorul: you missed some options in the ./config stuff, or you dont have all the support/dev/libs installed [11:10] <_agn_> Pirate_Hunter: you might want to load mod_rewrite [11:10] terminatorul: vim has dozens of configure options last time i tried to compile it [11:10] Dr_Willis: why is that --prefix=~/bin wouldn't work ? [11:10] I guess they are not on the configure command line any more .. [11:10] Slart: I was reading an article some time ago that said apt-get did remove all of the dependencies and you were left in dependency hell but that this was fixed and now you can go with either one [11:11] does anyone know of a c++ programming tutorial program in the repositories? i've looked at droidbattles but that's not quite what i'm after. [11:11] Slart: apt-get did not remove all of the dependencies [11:11] init[1]: if the thing installs for example to /usr/bin for its binaries.. you just tole it to do ~/bin/bin [11:11] Hi i have set up mint fortune to display what i want now wanda the fish taskbar aplet. when clicked on it fortune comes up garbled. any ideas??? [11:11] zortec: yes.. I think ubuntu has a patched version.. not sure if they changed it themselves or if it was fixed upstream though [11:11] terminatorul: ./co/win 12 [11:11] init[1]: and all the suport files would ALSO go in bin/docs or bin/libs or bin/whatever [11:11] terminatorul: typo [11:11] init[1]: not what you want to do i imagine [11:11] Does anyone here understand about that folder encryption thing? My hard drive seems to be fool and I am suspecting my home folder contents are copied in another location since the .ecryptfs has the exact same size as my home [11:11] ops [11:12] _agn_, already did when lamp was installed [11:12] I meant my HD is full [11:12] Dr_Willis: any ideas atm [11:12] Is there an option for apt-get install planned for the future that will allow for private installations ? [11:12] Meowpup: on what? :) [11:12] Hi i have set up mint fortune to display what i want now wanda the fish taskbar aplet. when clicked on it fortune comes up garbled. any ideas??? [11:12] terminatorul: no; [11:12] Meowpup: I dont use Mint, mint has its own channel/irc server. its not Ubuntu :) [11:12] Ok [11:12] Thank you guys ... [11:12] Dr_Willis: ah yes, [11:13] terminatorul: i doubt it. [11:13] [11:13] does anyone know of a c++ programming tutorial program in the repositories? i've looked at droidbattles but that's not quite what i'm after. [11:13] <_agn_> Pirate_Hunter: nothing left to be done with drupal ? [11:13] <_agn_> i don't know about drupal [11:14] nosbor: Why would there be a programming tutorial in the repos? [11:14] <_agn_> apache2ctl -M | grep rewrite [11:14] Dr_Willis: i know but i am asking here as ubuntu has same application. fortune and wanda fish. [11:14] nosbor: That is more of something you would find on the interweb [11:14] and they are similar os [11:14] Meowpup: please don't ask here, please use the correct support channels [11:14] Meowpup: we have no idea what the Mint guys have done to those apps. So it dosent matter. [11:14] ok, thanks [11:14] _agn_, hmmm you might be right let me see if restart puts it into action maybe the install will allow the option [11:15] ok Dr_Willis i understand what you are saying. i just like help. is there a kubuntu chanel around [11:15] wanda the fish here says 'unable to locate the command execute' [11:15] <_agn_> you have to restart apache after enabling a module [11:15] Meowpup: there is #kubuntu [11:15] wanda the fish here says 'unable to locate the command to execute' I dont have fortune installed i guess.. [11:16] lol [11:16] _agn_, you're right just needed to restart apache [11:16] The mint devs are a little... weird with the fortune command... [11:16] I know this is an ubuntu irc room, let me know if this is not allowed... but I wanted to hear what people think of windows 7 when compared to ubuntu [11:16] zortec: try #ubuntu-offtopic [11:16] Meowpup, if you're running Linux Mint, check their website for support options, please [11:16] if that is a fair comparison at all [11:17] The login process in ssh is very slow from my ubuntu machine. I've checked that disabling /etc/ssh/ssh_config last 2 lines, 'GSSAPIAuthentication yes' and 'GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no' solves the problem. [11:17] what are they for originally? [11:17] wanda the fish - works properly on 9.10 :) [11:17] zortec: crap, both have its own users ,and users for win7 being more dump ;) [11:17] please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:17] mad who said i was. i usually do. am setting up karmic atm [11:18] ^ Madpilot [11:18] Meowpup: you said you where running mint [11:18] >>> Meowpup | Hi i have set up mint fortune to display what i want now wanda [11:18] Meowpup> Hi i have set up mint [11:18] :) [11:18] yes i usually do use mint just a slip of tongue sorry [11:19] Meowpup: no it wasn't [11:19] Meowpup: re-read what you said, you said you KNOW about mint's support but came here anyway as they are similar [11:19] Meowpup: don't lie [11:21] Hello, I have just installed ubuntu 9 and made sure ufw is not running, I have also tried changing from network-manager to wicd as recommended by one guide I have read, but what I want is to be able to ping the OS when set a static IP address. However it is not responding, what could I check within the OS to ensure that it should be permitted? THank you. [11:21] whatever ok i will come back another day then ikonia [11:21] Meowpup: truth hurts :P [11:22] * swamptin feels like he caught the end of a "problem exists between keyboard and chair" moment [11:22] swamptin, pretty good call, I'm afraid [11:23] don't lie to me :) [11:23] Now the Mint devs will hate us even more. :) [11:23] hrm, is there a problem with 2.6.31 and md arrays, when I boot 2.6.27 all my arrays come online fine, with 2.6.31 it refuses to see one of the drives in each array [11:23] oh well. We can't all be super l337 haxors. I hope someone told him to have at the Gibson :) [11:25] here, while I love being an ass, I actually came in here to let some members of the support team know something that happened me on reboot after a partial upgrade. [11:25] swamptin: please clam down with how you address issues in here [11:25] Partial upgrades are scary. [11:25] swamptin: state your problem calm and polite [11:25] Alijah? [11:26] I had a cpu error, which it would appear forced X to hang and ultimately crash. [11:26] shriekout: he was removed from the network a long time ago [11:26] hum... [11:26] ikonia, who is he? [11:26] gees [11:26] shriekout: he's gone, don't worry about it [11:27] I'm on a Sony Vaio VGN FS195vp. Now, while it didn't occur after a second reboot, I just wished to let people know. In case others experienced it. [11:27] * Stanto sad panda [11:27] this release has been a challenge [11:27] ikonia, yes... thanx [11:27] darren: ive had no issues with it. so i guess it depends on the hardware/other things a great dea [11:27] well the dns issue was the first [11:30] darren: is there an actual tech support question at the end of this? :) [11:30] Is there a way to switch the language with a keyboard shortcut? [11:31] does anyone knows why banshee makes my system to run slowly after waking from sleep? [11:32] are the contents of your home folder duplicated when using home folder encryption? [11:32] mercutio22: no [11:32] mostafa: scim [11:34] ikonia: it's not ok to ask about how would I do X in Ubuntu - if I was trying X in other distro? [11:36] okubax my disk is full and disk usage analyser says there are two 31gb folders inside my home: .ecryptfs and my user folder. Is that the way it should be? === BIFOLCO is now known as BUBUNTU === nello is now known as NeLLo86 [11:37] dang he left [11:37] mercutio22: i wonder if one is some sort of link/fuse trick. I dont know how home encryption works. ive never wanted to use it. [11:38] I imagine your 'actal data' is in a encrypted 'file' that gets mounted some how to your actual home location. [11:38] Quick question: when doing an LDAP search (against AD) I get "a successfull bind must..." error. Im going through libnss-ldap? [11:38] LimCore: not really as it will be different in ubuntu normally [11:38] /msg NickServ identify coldcuts [11:39] Jimi_Neutral: time to change passwords [11:39] LimCore: asking I've just enabled $X in redhat, how do I enable it in ubuntu is very acceptable [11:39] Dr_Willis, yup but i dunno how lol [11:39] Jimi_Neutral: you lose 5000 exp and 3 skill levels in security [11:39] Jimi_Neutral: /msg nickserv help set password [11:39] LimCore, lolol [11:39] Jimi_Neutral: no spaces befr /msg is a start. and do such mgs in the irc status window. is a good habbit [11:39] Dr_Willis: yeah... I wonder if the disk usage analyser is counting the link as another copy [11:39] mercutio22: i imagine it is. [11:40] mercutio22: try df -h [11:41] Dr_Willis: init[1] wait... i can't open firefox to pastebin... my disk is full [11:41] hi guys, I am looking for a commandline faac file player. my mplayer cannot play it [11:42] biophysics: i seem to recall needing the libfaad installed befor playing those.. but i cant recall last time i needed to do that [11:42] mercutio22: df -h would give that actual usuage you don't need FF [11:42] !find libfaad [11:42] Found: libfaad-dev, libfaad0, libfaad2-0 [11:43] init[1]: /dev/sda5 is 100% in use [11:43] mercutio22: if apps starts to complain then there are problem croping up [11:43] RT: Quick question: when doing an LDAP search (against AD) I get "a successfull bind must..." error. Im going through libnss-ldap? [11:43] mercutio22: yea its full [11:43] init[1]: the weird thing is that it got filled overnight === linucks_ is now known as linucks [11:44] init[1]: so I am wondering if the torrent files I am downloading to an external hd has anything to do with it. Then I stumbled in the encryption problem. It seems my home folder contents are duplicated [11:44] Torrents - the reason HD sales are so strong. :) [11:45] mercutio22: check where the torrent program stores the files? [11:45] mercutio22: du -h | sort | tail [11:45] good morning [11:45] mercutio22: would give you what has filled up [11:45] what speed is needed to steam 1080p [11:45] stream [11:45] check bitrate on the file? [11:45] i've got ubuntu dual-booting with windows xp (which I must keep for work) with GRUB as a bootloader, but I'd liek to completely re-isnatll everything [11:46] init[1]: its the .private folder [11:46] ideally, i'd liek to completely wipe my hard drive and install everything all over [11:46] gui7 why? [11:46] init[1]: I got lots of crazy characters as output of that command [11:46] Hi, I see redhat patch thos CVE's regulary e.g http://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2009-3624.html but in ubuntu I don't see that, how are things going here? [11:46] gui7: the installer can reformat the filesystems. [11:47] Spixx: where is the transmission folder? [11:47] check .tranmission. But I think you can check that in the settings to [11:47] nostracracko, first of all because windows has completely slowed down AND i'd like to upgrade to win7, and i've been messing a little too much with ubuntu and i'd just liek to start all over [11:47] if someone knows how to get 5.1 with oss (audigy soundcard, no x-fi) please join #oss to help me; or here is also ok though a bit busy [11:47] Dr_Willis: the thing is, will it erase grub or leave it behind? i'm afraid taht'll cause problems [11:48] indus: I would say it depends on compression and such.. but I've got this vague memory of blueray needing up to 50 Mb .. not sure though [11:48] gui7: you can always reinstall the grub boot loader. 9.10 clean install uses grub2 by default. a Upgrade uses grub1 [11:48] It pays to learn your Grub-fu [11:49] yeah, thats also why i want to do it - to learn it as grub's always been my weak point [11:49] grub is in the "boot" folder of the ubuntu partition right? [11:49] Grub2 is still a little weak in the documention area. [11:49] Is there someone who can help me with Kopete. i have a creative webcam . i use a yahoo account. my friends dont see my request to view my cam [11:49] Spixx: .transmission inexists. I am afraid I don't see anything in the settings menu. But probably the files are downloaded to the internal HD before being transfered to the external one [11:49] edgy: see the update notes when you recive one [11:49] gui7: grub2 has files in several locations. the critical ones are in /boot, GRUB instsalls to the 'mbr' of the hard drive normally [11:49] Slart: heh 50 mb [11:50] i will need to work for the gov then [11:50] i see - how can i delete/alter what's in the mbr though (if i can)? [11:50] Slart: i have 2 mbps line which streams 720p fairly ok [11:50] i dont mind stickign with grub1 though [11:50] ok i think thats right, what a dick i am [11:50] gui7 you can multi boot [11:50] Slart: but iam bandwidth limited so i watch 1 clip a day [11:50] mercutio22: transmission config folder is in ~/.config [11:50] gui7 you can make several partitions [11:50] VCoolio: [11:51] mercutio22: yes that is what happens there is a choise of "deleting source file" when done try that? [11:51] gui7 that way u can have several OSs and play with em or mess however u want [11:51] nostracracko, that's exactly what I want [11:51] indus: of course you can get away with much lower than that.. that's why 1080p rips are way smaller than a pure bluray copy.. ahem.. legal copies.. of course.. [11:51] gui7 cool... i have several 100MB partitions.. which i can install any oS as i like [11:51] all rips online are ilegal :) Slart [11:51] erUSUL: the question is why in my ubuntu I don't receive update notes for all those CVE's? [11:52] gui7 i have 3 partitions with 3 win flavors and 2 ubuntus on 2 others [11:52] erUSUL: they are serious vulnerabilities [11:52] edgy: do they apply to ubuntu? redhat is a slow moving distro packages are older [11:52] indus: hmm.. trying very hard to think of a legal example... I'll get back to you when I've found something =) [11:52] mercutio22: soory i was afk [11:52] erUSUL: yes they apply to ubuntu or else I won't be asking [11:53] Slart: who wants HD video for anything other than movies anyway :) i cant buy HD here yet, [11:53] mercutio22: du -h | sort -n | tail <- [11:53] Slart: only bluray is HD right? [11:53] edgy, http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ [11:53] that would help you out to find the larget file [11:53] nostracracko: how do you do it? do you still keep grub on the mbr? because i heard/read that you can have it on its own partitions - would it be more practical? how do you do it? [11:53] gui7 when there's a new version of ubuntu, i do a clean install.. much faster.. altho u have to re-install some sw but that's fine cos it's much 'cleaner' [11:53] Slart: i watched transformers 720p and i wont ever go back to dvd now [11:53] edgy, if you're keeping your system updated, you will be getting all the security updates [11:53] Help! Ubuntu doesn't recognize my e71 anymore. tried modprobe but still no avail. Previously in 9.04 it reconizes the e71 as a modem device when I connect it in 'PC sync mode' I can then mount this on my XP VM and use Nokia PC Suite from there. Now it's not recognizing it at all. Here's pastebin to my dmesg | tail msg --> http://pastebin.com/m6615e8e7 [11:54] nostracracko: what do you mean with "sw"? [11:54] iam want to know, how do i buy HD content for movies [11:54] gui7 i dun care where grub is... i think it's on the mbr (sw=software) [11:54] indus: mm.. it's nice.. and also very offtopic here.. unless we go into how well vlc handles hd content and that nvidia gpu decoding stuff for linux [11:54] init[1]: its taking some time [11:54] gui7 u always install win first, then ubuntu and let grub settle the startup menu [11:54] indus, please take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:54] ah ok [11:54] are all new movies HD ? if so, do u need to buy blu ray disk [11:55] mercutio22: it will wait and see [11:55] bazhang: ok [11:55] mercutio22: there is sort -n <- last time i missed it [11:55] isn't it a bit of a hassle to have to re-install everything when you re-isntall ubuntu? or do you just re-isnatll ubuntu and windows? [11:55] Where is the iptables config file in 9.10? I am configuring over SSH and it keeps freezing so I can't check [11:55] gui7 rephrase question [11:56] Madpilot: that page still doesn't list the vulnerability I mentioned and many others. You mean in Ubuntu I need to file it? I don't need to do that in RedHat. Is it really that security-wise Redhat is much better? [11:56] TheFuzzball: there is none, you can just write own script and run it. afaik. unless you use some extra firewall toolo [11:56] when you do a clean install of ubuntu, what exactly do you have to reinstall/mess with? [11:56] gui7: depends on how much work you put into your system... you could of course keep the config files in your home folder.. that might cut down on the reinstall time [11:56] heya shuttlers minions [11:56] edgy: red hat calims is not ulnerable becouse th afaulty commit is not in their kernels. is that not the case with ubuntu ? [11:56] init[1]: I am afraid I can't paste the contents into firefox [11:56] gui7 nothing... just decide which partition u wanna put the new clean install [11:56] edgy: have not checked; that's whay i ask [11:56] init[1]: I will ssh from another machine... just a sec [11:56] mercutio22: it not meant to be pasted [11:56] !clone | gui7 [11:56] gui7: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [11:56] LimCore: is iptables not installed by default then? [11:57] gui7: dont forget vlc :) and other codecc sttuff [11:57] mercutio22: listen [11:57] mercutio22: did you find the file ? [11:57] I'm trying to import some debian signing keys into ubuntu [11:57] mercutio22: or set of files that has occupied your ~/ ? [11:57] edgy, I have no idea, to be honest. "distro x is insecure" would make the news in Linux circles, though, so doubt Ubuntu is any less secure than RH or others... [11:57] i seee - take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=639154 [11:57] gilesw: Why? You can't install debian sources in Ubuntu [11:57] and this: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/grub/grubpartition.htm [11:57] apt-key update only lists the ubuntu ones though [11:57] TheFuzzball: iptables program is installed; But it is not executed to congiure the actuall "filtering tables" in kernel by default [11:57] wouldnt it be easier taht way? [11:57] init[1]: no. I am afraid I only got a list of small files [11:58] help..:: sometime Display Resolution setting until 5:4 but sometime only 800x600 (4:3).... what wrongs?? [11:58] init[1]: as output from that command I mean [11:58] mercutio22: du -h | sort -n | tail please paste this command exaclty [11:58] mercutio22: there is a -n after sort [11:58] LimCore: crap, I can't connect through dyndns through port 1000 to webmin, the router is pointing to the ubuntu box so no problem there [11:58] erUSUL, Madpilot: I just installed ksplice and it complains about missing patches and I did install them and it's now applied but that's strange I need to download additional software to patch my ubuntu kernel [11:58] I've got a hp package built for etch that i'm trying to install [11:58] it does run with a libstc++ package [11:59] TheFuzzball: iptables -l (or -L was it) to see the current tables. if all is ACCEPT then you are wide open. [11:59] init[1]: yes, I made sure of that. [11:59] mercutio22: that sequence of commands will list 10 file of greater size [11:59] edgy, if you're compiling your own kernels, then I guess a certain amount of the security headache is now yours. Congrats. [11:59] gilesw: Built for etch? It's not good to install packages in ubuntu that were made for debian [11:59] Good day everyone , after doing > sudo ln -s /usr/java1/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ yet firefox does not detect java (that is built from source) ? [11:59] sure I wouldn't if they supported hardy [11:59] mercutio22: can you pastebin that out , it will only have 10 entires [12:00] init[1] ok, just a sec [12:00] LimCore: yup, all says accept, mustn't be iptables then [12:00] Madpilot: I am not compiling my own kernel. ksplice help in pathing ubuntu kernel without compilation, without reboot [12:00] and this one too: http://tekguru.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/howto-moving-boot-to-its-own-partition/ [12:00] gilesw: You will likely experience problem if you do that. [12:00] wouldnt taht work better? [12:00] i'm just afraid the grub in my mbr may be poitning somewhere and then /boot is no longer there [12:01] gui7: did u create a separate /boot? [12:01] not yet [12:01] hi.. i have 2 HDD, one is ubuntu and the other one is kubuntu. but i just can't choose what i want to start with because i don't see grub screen. and when i try to run sudo update-grub2 the output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/328420/ . please help :) [12:01] at the moment I'm just bothered by why apt-key add is returning OK [12:01] indus: im just looking on what i WILL do [12:01] edgy, seriously, I think you're worrying too much. Ubuntu does not have a reputation as being insecure or slow to send security updates to users... [12:01] hi in here. I'm thinking of using bzr for version control. But am really new to this, anyone using this? [12:01] and yet the key isn't being imported [12:02] stanman246, a lot of people are. join the #bzr channel to talk to some of them. [12:02] ah i just ran a list and it is [12:02] Madpilot: this is a general statement but to prove it I am looking for a response like ubuntu is not affected by the CVE you meantion for this or that [12:02] would i have to mess with fstab or any of that? [12:02] !fstab [12:02] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [12:02] what doesn -p0 means in "patch -p0 jml: ok thanks will do that! [12:03] maxagaz: man patch ;0 === miket is now known as michaelt [12:03] gui7 don't mess with fstab [12:03] gui7 u dun need to [12:03] edgy, I have no idea. Email the security@ address on that security.ubuntu.com page if you have concerns. [12:03] init[1]: paste.ubuntu.com/328422 [12:04] !partitions [12:04] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [12:04] hrm i just checked the hp site and ubuntu is now listed [12:04] sorry for wasting your time.. [12:04] so to install grub in a separate partitions i wouldnt need to mess with fstab? [12:04] init[1]: you see, these are small files right? [12:05] mercutio22: no check the entires 9 and 10 === michaelt is now known as mt === lester is now known as lesterb [12:05] mercutio22: what is your ~/ size ? [12:06] Madpilot: ok thanks for your care [12:06] mercutio22: i mean you said the partition mounted on /home [12:07] init[1]: 111gb, but it seems my 31gb home folder is duplicated [12:07] gui7: grub is made of several parts. the actual boot loader goes in the mbr of the drive the support files for grub2 are in /boot and /etc/grub [12:07] is there an easy way to list all partitions and their properties (ie file system, size, etc) easily? [12:07] init[1]: the .private folder is the same size as my user home folder [12:08] gui7: and grub dosetn have a lot to do with etc/fstab [12:08] the grub can be installed to a partition too isntead of the mbr [12:08] ok good then [12:08] hello all [12:08] mercutio22: the check the files and remove them [12:08] hi.. i have 2 hdd, one is ubuntu and the other one is kubuntu. but i just can't choose what i want to start with because i don't see grub screen. it's always boot from first hard drive. and when i try to run sudo update-grub2 the output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/328420/ . please help :) [12:08] indus: thats what i want :D [12:08] indus: yea :) its amazing the confusion ive seen from doing that. :) [12:08] gui7: in the past i have a single HD just for linux. I let grub go to the MBR of that hd. and leave the windows hd alone. [12:08] init[1]: can I just remove the .private folder? [12:08] I am getting since few days a odd ispell popup if I type ctrl-space. How can I disable it? [12:09] mercutio22: go inside it check the file [12:09] gui7: fdisk -l [12:09] well hp's idea of supporting ubuntu is to have their manual "support pack" installer [12:09] mercutio22: if that is same as ~/ then remove it === mt is now known as mj-t [12:09] not going near that as I know these deb packages work [12:10] bizarre that after googling it some people are still using alien to convert the rpm packages [12:10] would this guide work?: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/grub/grubpartition.htm === ballzee is now known as Sinister [12:11] init[1]: I am not sure exactly how to check it. Would I have to mount the /home/.ecryptfs folder somehow? [12:11] gui7: what are you trying to accomplish exactly? === kernel is now known as kernelLove [12:11] sorry for spamming here ;) but can anyone help me with nfs client (mountall) on karmic server ? [12:12] mercutio22: terminal [12:12] mercutio22: cd ~/.private [12:12] mercutio22: ls -l [12:12] ledr: clarify the problem to the channel - someone may know the answer to a more specific question. [12:13] opps wrong channel [12:14] Dr_Willis: I first did an upgrade from jaunty to karmic, but nfs (from a netapp filer) won't get maunted automatically anymore (just an entry in fstab).. I then decided to do a clean install, but still have the same problem. The NFS gets mounted when I do a 'mount -a', but not automatically at boot.. It seems to be hanging with the mountall. === matthew is now known as Guest81698 [12:14] gui7: you realize that guide/url you posted is for grub1, and is about 3+ yrs old. parts of it are out of date [12:14] Dr_Willis: i want to have grub set up in a way that i canmess up my partitions as much as i want (except teh grub one obviously) without having to reinstall/touch grub other than the menu.lst file [12:14] I put a description here as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/461133?comments=all But I'm not sure whether that's the right place (the two last posts there are mine) [12:14] Dr_Willis: how would it be done then? [12:14] gub boot from usb alternate [12:14] test [12:14] init[1]: sorry, I must have confused you. The folder is /home/.ecrypts. ls -l inside it gives total 4 ; drwxr-xr-x 4 mercutio22 mercutio22 4096 2009-11-02 01:00 mercutio22 [12:15] is it recommended to use grub2 over grub1 now? [12:15] I am getting since few days a odd ispell popup if I type ctrl-space. How can I disable it? [12:15] i has problem before update kernel, in 2.6.31-15 the system tilt in usplah, any solution? my pc is laptop hp sempron [12:15] mercutio22: wow [12:15] mercutio22: you just found the reason [12:15] ledr: as a work around you could try not mounting them via fastab. but via commands in /etc/rc.local - its possible theres some network stuff not set up when they are first trying to get mounted. thus they fail the first time. and not the 2nd. [12:15] jes [12:15] gui7: make a small partiion and mount it to /boot/ its that simple. :) [12:16] mercutio22: now confrim that all the 3 entries in .ecrypts are you home duplicates and delete [12:16] gui7: grub1 uses menu.lst -- grub2 uses different setting files. [12:16] gui7: when you do the install - use a manual partition layout similer to --> (/boot) (/) (/home) (swap) [12:16] Dr_Willis: yes, I've thought about rc.local, but it seems so ugly, as fstab always just worked (tm).. network is loaded that's not the problem, as I also tried killing mountall after the server was booted, then I ran mountall --debug --verbose from the commandline and it hangs as well [12:16] I really think it's a bug in mountall [12:16] what's the command to append to a file [12:17] not with a pipe or >> but there is a unix command for it [12:17] ledr: i dont recall ever using 'mountall' NFS was working here on my small lan of 3 pcs under 9.10 [12:17] Dr_Willis: exactly, mountall is new to me too, but afai understand it's "the new thing" to mount everything in 9.10, or is it not ? [12:17] init[1]: wait look, ls -la inside /home/.ecryptfs reveals another .ecryptfs folder and a .private folder. It gets complicated now. [12:18] gui7 you can actually google 'multiple boot' / 'dual boot' / 'tri boot' with ubuntu, windows, whatever.. u'll get alotta guides out there [12:18] apt-get update gets stuck... is anyone experiencing slow servers today? [12:18] mercutio22: are you sure encryptfs would be empty ? [12:18] mercutio22: if so remove it [12:18] karmic koala is detecting a weird label for a FAT32 drive [12:19] any way to stop showing the stupid label? arggh.. jaunty was so much better [12:19] Asad: what id that drive named in windows ? [12:19] there's no name/label for the drive on windows [12:19] hi all [12:19] it's the default D: [12:19] init[1]: which one? I am confused. The /home/.ecryptfs/mercutio22/.ecryptfs has 6 files in it [12:20] Asad: what name does karmic give you ? [12:20] one question, how can i configure the central button of my Lenovo T61 trackpoint? [12:20] ); } } (with new lines in between) [12:20] I have instllalled gsynaptic but it's only for touchpad [12:20] mercutio22: how come you have .ecyptfs in /home ? [12:21] init[1]: I am not sure. Shouldn't it be there? [12:21] init[1]: I mean.. by default? [12:21] I wonder if there's a way to manually set a label, init[1] ? [12:21] Asad: yes [12:21] mercutio22: 1 sec [12:22] Asad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [12:22] ledr: ive neer used it on 9.10 - never heard of it. :) [12:22] init[1]: maybe it was because I recovered from a backfile a long time ago [12:22] Asad: that should he you its similar for your drives too [12:22] mercutio22: see /home will only and usually contain the users home folder [12:23] init[1]: I mean... I recovered my home folder from a backup tar file. Maybe my directory structure got messed up [12:23] yeah i know about that but i was afraid it might mess up something on the filesystem ... i was wondering if gnome could do custom labels [12:23] !info mountall [12:23] mountall (source: mountall): filesystem mounting tool. In component main, is required. Version 1.0 (karmic), package size 79 kB, installed size 268 kB [12:23] init[1]: and the .ecryptfs folder if you use home folder encryption right? [12:23] Dr_Willis: ah well, I put noauto on the fstab nfs options and put it in rc.local now.. at least it works, tnx === Ashvala is now known as ashvala_working [12:24] ledr: looks like mountall is for automounting hotplugged things. [12:24] ledr: but Im not finding a lot of docs/guides on it [12:24] Dr_Willis: are you sure ? as it also mounts swap and other filesystems [12:24] Asad: mtools should help you [12:24] checking man pages. a whole 10 lines.. was googling for a wiki guide [12:24] Dr_Willis: I couldn't find many docs either [12:24] I dont sww aht it dies different from mount -a [12:25] ok thanks init[1] .. i will try it :) [12:25] mercutio22: i have to go now ,sorry some one else should help ya [12:25] This is a temporary tool until init(8) itself gains the necessary flexibility to perform this processing; you should not rely on its behaviour. [12:25] ledr: looks like its a tool to 'work around' other issues [12:25] init[1]: thanks [12:25] mercutio22: yw ;) [12:26] Is there a way in Gnome desktop to force icons and folders into a grid as you can do on M$ Windows desktops? Or is the only way to right click on the desktop and choose "clean up by name" to line them up? [12:26] ledr: i need to r4ead up sone day on how ubuntu automounts this stuff. :) its getting too complex/different from what ive seen in the past [12:26] hey any infos on how to config centra butto of a trackpoint? [12:26] no ideal [12:26] Dr_Willis: yes, many changes.. perhaps I should've kept using LTS for servers :) [12:27] diddy: i think those features are a little lacking. [12:27] diddy: clean up by name and keep aligned are about it. [12:28] Dr_Willis, where is "keep aligned" ? [12:28] hi guys. I am considering TEAC MX-9 webcam. can somebody tell me what chipset it is and if it works under linux ? [12:28] Dr_Willis, never mind. Found it. [12:28] I googled a bit, but I can't determine its linux support status [12:28] I can't even find a product home page. [12:28] anyone knows how to deal with hp6530b going blank when settings on a docking station for half an hour or so. Any way to wake it up fails. (Ubuntu 9.10 - 64bit) [12:29] sobersabre: check the mxhaard pate [12:29] !webcam [12:29] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [12:29] Dr_Willis, I checked "keep aligned" but what does it do? I move the icons anywhere and they stay whereever I move them. [12:30] diddy: i think it auto aligs them when ya log in, ive never noticed. [12:30] mxhaard pate ? [12:30] page ? [12:30] Does anyone know how I can edit a file as part of a script? Like if(file.contains("this")) dont to anything, else add("this")? [12:30] diddy: actually it uses a larger grid. [12:30] diddy: you can move them. but not over 1 or 3 pixles.. ya gotta move a whole icon width [12:31] Dr_Willis, got it. It only aligns them when in close proximity. [12:31] diddy: it uses a 32 or 62 pixle grid to 'keep them aligned' :) [12:31] Peter1: sed is designed for doing such tasks. theres other ways also. [12:31] Dr_Willis, yep. Thx [12:32] indus mxhaard page ? [12:32] Hi all. Could someone tell what do i need to connect in "jack" to get my midi keyboard working with rosegarden? http://img130.imageshack.us/i/screenshotpv.png/ [12:32] Dr_Willis: So I guess I can learn it my man sed? [12:32] Peter1: with a combo of grep/sed/awk you can do lots of things [12:32] sobersabre: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html [12:32] Peter1: theres books written on using sed and awk. :) [12:32] sobersabre: he makes every single webcam driver alone [12:32] sobersabre: poor chap [12:32] Dr_Willis: Books? geez... [12:33] Peter1: its amazing what awk can do :) combine it with sed/bash/ and you really have a powerfull set of tools [12:33] indus: I don't understand how this page is related to [12:33] TEAC MX-9 webcam [12:33] I don't see any refernce on it to the above webcam. [12:33] sobersabre: search if your webcam is supported ther or not [12:33] Dr_Willis: Ok, I guess I should start crackin' ;) [12:33] sobersabre: check under gspca [12:34] indus: I will... gspca but how do you know it IS gspca ? [12:34] sobersabre: it its not there, it wont work in linux unless its a uvc webcam [12:34] Peter1: These come in handy for me: http://rob.pectol.com/awk/ and http://rob.pectol.com/sed/ [12:34] sobersabre: ok check dmesg | tail after plug in cam [12:34] rob_p: thanks :) [12:34] sobersabre: unplug and replug [12:35] Peter1: welcome [12:36] my monitors are off; when I press a key or move the mice; the monitors turn back on -- how does this happen? what controls this? (I want it so that pressing the keyboard wakes the monitors back on, but moving the mice keeps the monitors off [12:36] is there any advantage in staying with hardy, instead of dist-upgrading to for instance intrepid ? [12:36] i've heard hardy is very compatible/similar to debian stable, does that hold for later ubuntu releases as well? [12:36] !lts [12:36] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [12:37] indus: thanks for your great help. did you actually read my ... question ? [12:37] sybariten: for an individual no, for larger setups if everything works fine and are too lazy to upgrade no need [12:37] sobersabre: yes, whether teac webcam works or not [12:37] sobersabre: so i gave you link to see if it does [12:37] sybariten: if its working good for you - You may want to wait for the next LTS [12:37] sobersabre: any other comments? [12:38] indus: you understand that if the webcam is NOT in the list you gave me it doesn't say it DOESN'T work. [12:38] right ? [12:38] so, I looked and didn't find it there. [12:38] now does anybody in this chan use TEAC MX-* webcam ? [12:38] any TEAC webcam ? [12:38] sobersabre: well, then dont but it but first check if it uses gspca [12:39] sobersabre: you may have better luck checking the forums. [12:39] sobersabre: is it uvc or gspca [12:39] indus: I don't have the camera so I can't lsusb it.\ [12:39] sobersabre: oh crap [12:39] sobersabre: ya oops [12:39] sobersabre: now i got it [12:39] and I saw it at an attractive price, and it looks good, but I don't have anything saying its chipset. [12:39] sobersabre: sorry [12:39] so I'm shooting in the dark in here. [12:39] but still, thanks. [12:40] is there a uvc channel on freenode ? [12:40] sobersabre: in that page, there is chipset column which lists some teac maybe? [12:40] I wonder if anyone else has managed to collect a dozen web cams over the past few years like i have. :) [12:40] sobersabre: uvc-berlios.de [12:40] sobersabre: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ [12:40] indus: thanks. searching ... [12:40] about lenovo trackpoint, I installed this http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-trackpoint.html but I have no "Middle button" check box [12:41] anyone else have this problem? [12:41] sobersabre: tell me name of cam again please [12:41] full name [12:41] TEAC MX-9 [12:41] sounds simple... [12:41] right ?

[12:59] :) [12:59] Sing.. la la dee daa... [13:00] sobersabre: they are better though i think [13:00] munsking: I think sudo uses some safe defaults.. that may be the whole issue [13:00] Dr_Willis: yea i saw that too, but i dont dare to change the sudoers file xD (still a noobie) [13:00] then I bought another one and it is ... like sh1te. so brand/nobrand doesn't matter.

[13:47] Dr_Willis: how to open /var/log/shorewall-init.log [13:47] mrXX anyways, AP is identified via its ssid, so you tell your driver to use the ssid of the AP you are allowed to use [13:48] DrRobinTosh: its a text file. Use any editor , or the less, or more command to view its contents [13:48] gah, what command? [13:48] n8tuser, that system ID thingie? [13:48] mrXX likes so.. sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid XXXXXX ; dhclient wlan0 [13:48] n8tuser is it possible to see my router add, cause at home i saw the company and typed in the required addreass - is it legal to see my company's router add? [13:48] DrRobinTosh: text editor that you like, or 'more' or 'less' or time to learn some bash basics... [13:48] hiyas all [13:49] mrXX only can see it once you are associated and given an ip address that are routable [13:49] DrRobinTosh: you might want to install and use the command 'mc' its very handy [13:49] Dr_Willis, what site would you recconmend? [13:49] n8tuser, so root on you machine doesn't automatically mean root anywhere. [13:49] n8tuser i think i am given an ip-address cause our wireless network is public - correct me if wrong [13:49] Younder come again? did i mention anything about that? [13:49] DrRobinTosh: delicious.com and look under the 'bash' tags or google. [13:50] !shell | DrRobinTosh [13:50] DrRobinTosh: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:50] DrRobinTosh: Here's a command line cheatsheet: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/command-line-cheatsheet.html [13:50] mc pretty colors [13:50] does someone know what mkfs.ext4dev is? [13:50] DrRobinTosh: theres dozens if not hunderds of bash tutorial/training sites [13:50] mrXX who gave you an ip address? is it static address? for you ethernet perhaps not for your wifi? [13:50] LjL, thanks dude [13:51] n8tuser, No I did, so people understand why it is what it is. [13:51] n8tuser we can connect automatically via the wireless or through the hard wire in the rooms [13:51] Younder -> oh okay, the way you phrased it got me confused [13:51] n8tuser i wish i were a computer science major, [13:51] Hi [13:51] Im glad im NOT a CS major :) [13:52] DR_Willis why do you say so sir? [13:52] Multiple sounds doesn't work with pulseaudio on ubuntu 9.10. What should I do ? [13:52] Dr_Willis ppl say that is where the jobs and money are [13:52] mrXX companies usually wanted you to have a static ip address if possible to know who is who.. so they may have given you an ip address to configure your host with [13:53] n8tuser oh, i think i do have a static ip then, cause we are traced :-( [13:53] ok [13:53] Dr_Willis: No shorewall compiler installed [13:53] mrXX: many CS majors whos jobs are getting out sourced to other countries would dissagree. :) but I went into Engineering. [13:53] mrXX unless you speak Hindi or Pashtun or chinese.. but it is offtopic bout careers.. :P [13:53] where do i get the compler from? [13:53] DrRobinTosh: I knwo nothing about shorewall. I imagine its one of the packages shown earlier with the apt-cache search shorewall command. [13:53] aira [13:53] so that means i cant renew my ip , n8tuser , cause they track us [13:54] mrXX well that static ip address needs to be inserted into your config file [13:54] Can you help with a problem in 9.04: during startup the default level is 2 and one of my /etc/init.d scripts fails to run "su - -c ", but succeeds if I run it manually afterwards. Why is "su - -c " not available during startup in runlevel 2? [13:54] Can anyone tell me how to get an MS Natural 4000 USB keyboard working? It appears in the kernel messages and works on the boot menu, however Ubuntu does not use it as keyboard. [13:54] ... sometimes [13:54] mrXX if i was the sys admin or network admin at your workplace, am certainly wanting to track you.. hehehe [13:55] Igramul: it some times works in X and some times not? [13:55] ok im new to ubuntu and i have just downloaded a theme to my home folder and it is a .tar.gz....how do i install it? [13:55] n8tuser wow, but no bady came to set up my internet, however i have to login before accessing the internet [13:55] Dr_Willis, right [13:55] Igramul: thats odd. Try a different usb port. and when it fails try unplug/repluging it in [13:56] mrXX there are different ways to manage resources..anyways are you connected via ethernet at your work now [13:56] ? [13:56] Dr_Willis, the odd thing is, that it always works in the boot manager. But I'll give Your advice a try. [13:56] n8tuser ya, ethernet cable or wireless [13:56] Dr_Willis, I have yet to have device fail on one port and succed on another [13:57] mrXX using windows? [13:57] Younder: ive had usb ports go bad. [13:57] it is basically controoled by ONE chip [13:57] Dr_Willis, me too, I guess. (This is being typed with the MS keyboard) [13:57] Younder: i also had where too many usb gizmos on the same mb caused issues.. but moving them to a pci usb expansion card helped. [13:58] n8tuser of course not, never switched to windows since saw ubuntu [13:58] if you hang around long enough - you can see all sorts of weirdness. :) [13:58] n8tuser but my internal mic doesnt work so i go to windows for skype :-( [13:58] Dr_Willis, I guess so [13:58] Jimi_Neutral, drag the tar.gz to the theme manager [13:59] Dr_Willis: how do i use IPTabels then? [13:59] mrXX then remove the /var/lib/dhcp3/*.leases so you can attempt to request a new ip addresss. but even that, sometimes the dhcp server will allocate you the same as what the last ip it doled out to you [13:59] !firewall | DrRobinTosh [13:59] DrRobinTosh: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [13:59] Jimi_Neutral, easy access by clicking desktop (change background) then choose themes tab [13:59] i just want to protect from (D)Dos [13:59] DrRobinTosh: proper use of the 'ufw' command will propberly do all you need. [13:59] bazhang, it wont go, it keeps springing back [13:59] DrRobinTosh: what are you tryuing to 'firewall' anyway? [13:59] mrXX anyhow, i have to leave, get some breakfast [14:00] the computer from (D)Dos [14:00] Jimi_Neutral, got a link to the theme? and what version of ubuntu are you using [14:00] n8tuser appreciate your help brother [14:00] anything other then HTTPd or SSH [14:00] Dr_Willis, still a software config problem seems more likely, to use a medical term 'when hearing hoofs in the wood, don't yell Zebra' [14:00] n8tuser enjoy ur breakfast [14:00] guys, nobody has the GRUB2 problems where you have to delete the search line just to boot? [14:00] DrRobinTosh: prevent DDoS? on the receiving end? you need to refresh the theory [14:00] i'm really a bit frustrated by this, it's breaking my gf's laptop on every grub & kernel update!! [14:01] UdontKnow, how do i stop DDoS? [14:01] Igramul: a inteesting test would be see if any live cd/disrtos also have the same problem.

[14:04] sampo, You can install a X server whch improves youodds [14:04] Younder: a Darwin core, not a FreeBSD core [14:04] X server?how? [14:04] DrRobinTosh: why do you want to do that? If you want to secure your pc.. then secure it. [14:04] !google | sampo [14:04] sampo: 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.

[14:05] IRCd* [14:05] DrRobinTosh: and why do you want to do that? [14:05] DrRobinTosh: theres no need to put it on the DMZ for that [14:05] so i can link it to my network. [14:05] POrt Forward? [14:06] does anybody know where the ubuntu karmic armel repository is? [14:06] DrRobinTosh: I think you need to clarify your 'mission goals' and work up from the bottom. [14:06] hmm... [14:06] i deleted everthing from /var/lib/dhcp3/* what effect does it have? [14:06] DrRobinTosh: most routers can port forward these days. [14:06] yep.. [14:07] Hi, in an /etc/init.d script of mine, the "su - -c " fails to run the command during startup. This used to work in 8.10, but now doesn't in 9.04. Any Ideas? [14:07] how do i set ubuntu to have a static Internal IP? [14:07] DrRobinTosh: man 5 interfaces [14:07] i deleted everthing from /var/lib/dhcp3/* what effect does it have? [14:07] how can i create gpt disks during the installation of ubuntu-server 9.10? [14:08] DrRobinTosh: on the desktop verison the networkmanager tool can do that. [14:08] !static [14:08] DrRobinTosh, You can use the network manager to do that. [14:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about static [14:08] UdontKnow, actually though given a different name it is still freeBsd, and linux compatibale to a point, threads are differenty [14:08] DrRobinTosh: try /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 add [14:08] ls [14:09] DrRobinTosh, frickelton's solution won't be permanent and it adds an _additional_ IP to the interface. [14:09] ah ok. [14:09] so, what way should i use? (Im a noob i will need help :P) [14:10] DrRobinTosh, use the network manager. It should be somewhere in the upper right corner of the screen (a plug icon). [14:10] Igramul, i have no GUI [14:10] mm [14:11] DrRobinTosh: man 5 interfaces [14:11] anyone uses evolution? [14:11] a 'noob' really should start with the Desktop edition., [14:11] capibloso i do [14:11] DrRobinTosh, in that case "man interfaces" will tell You how to change /etc/network/interfaces to fulfill Your needs. [14:11] capibloso but it is not so good, i cant connect to yahoo in it [14:11] Dr_Willis, remove the quotes. hhah [14:12] Igramul i see... [14:12] Igramul what part in it do i change? [14:12] ok when I receive an email with a list of email accounts at the CC with an ";" separator, evolution only shows the first email [14:12] Hi, in an /etc/init.d script of mine, the "su - -c " fails to run the command during startup.

On Gnome power management window, I set the suspend screen option when the laptop would be closed so that the power could be saved. [14:13] DrRobinTosh, 'man interfaces' contains examples for static IPs. Change "auto" to "static" and add some lines for the static IP configuration. [14:13] capibolso but i think it is possible from the sender side as well not to show the BCC info for privacy issues [14:14] iface eth0-home inet static? [14:14] capibolso try sending a test email yourself and see [14:14] grawity, if I want to use rar instead of zip, it doesnt work find -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec rar -r {}.rar {} \; [14:14] Enissay: Doesn't work how exactly?

[14:15] iface eth0-home inet static [14:15] grawity, it displays rar's help, i guess the syntax is wrong [14:15] and my system is a laptop [14:15] yes, the problem is that I can't get window$ users to put a "," instead of ";" hehe [14:15] Enissay: "rar" is a completely different program, and yes, it uses a different syntax. === german is now known as Guest22187 === o_portista17 is now known as testing === testing is now known as o_portista17 [14:16] Enissay: read that help and change the options === o_portista17 is now known as changingdata [14:17] Igramul, how to change /etc/network/interfaces [14:17] DrRobinTosh: you had been told to read "man 5 interfaces" [14:18] llutz: i have [14:19] DrRobinTosh: its a text file.

[14:42] charles_: I don't remember a charles_ from in here [14:42] Dr_Willis: well i must add this code in menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu.com/328516/ [14:42] Dr_Willis: I never saw an item to ADD declarations though [14:42] in my acer, if i once disable my wireless, then i cant enable it without restart - plz help [14:42] anyone can solve that, isn't that hard, is it? [14:42] My display has wrong sync but I don't see anywhere to adjust or detect the correct settings [14:43] blackxored: date -d "2009-11-26 17:00 UTC" [14:43] jim__: simple enough mistake usually, so I won't laugh at you for it :) [14:43] blackxored: Assuming you have $TZ set to the corret time zone. [14:43] n8ature: That's the problem they are not Desktop -> 2.6.31-15-generic ; Server 2.6.31-15-generic-pae [14:43] ironfoot495: I am assuming you have your desktop and server connected to your router.. if you desktop is working and connected to the internet, make sure the network settings of your server are set up the same way. check this file: /etc/network/interfaces. Your desktop probably has just a few links with "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback". change that file on your server to the same thing and it should be able to get to the internet [14:43] thanks [14:43] in my acer, if i once disable my wireless, then i cant enable it without restart - plz help [14:43] o sorry [14:43] charles_, what driver do you use? [14:43] grawity, that's what I asked for! thanks, wasn't that hard at all, just was missing the UTC suffix :p thanks a lot [14:43] no idea [14:44] well i figured you have to be able to laugh at yourself or you'll go nuts. [14:44] I picked ps out of dumpster [14:44] It is a dell latitude [14:44] ironfoot495: i said, "a few links", but i meant to say, "a few lines".. lol [14:44] Does anybody knows how to change weird MiBs tj normal Mb (2^10, not 10^3)? [14:44] charles_: So I helped you before with another name, which was? Also you wanted hep with an install? Of Ubuntu? [14:44] how do I determine if my home folder encryption is working? [14:44] Blackxored: no they are not difficult, it is more a matter of being methodical and logical' [14:44] n8ature: OK! I'll go take a look bb; [14:45] jim__: yep that can be a good thing to laugh at oneself sometimes [14:45] Younder, really? it's a matter of missing a suffix :P [14:45] Yes with xubuntu install. Sorry @sebsebseb I don't really think you have helped me before. [14:45] Blackxored: lol, in your case === devD is now known as devD[A] [14:46] Younder, really, if I'm lol I don't know what's up to people, then :P no need for that [14:46] charles_: Probably not then, but have helped many, so can't remember everyone [14:46] hey guys [14:46] @sebsebseb. After 3 days of fooling around I just took a stab in the dark looking for help [14:46] charles_: Ok so what's the problem regarding the Xubuntu install? [14:46] i have Ubuntu 9.04 januaty [14:46] MFox: ok [14:46] wanna upgrade to 9.10 with CD [14:46] The display comes up in 3 columns [14:46] MFox: hmm I would suggest staying with 9.04 for now [14:46] but the upgrade progress doesnt start [14:47] Blackxored: you are WAY to sensitive. That was not an insult. It was just advice. [14:47] MFox: ok then you need the alternate CD [14:47] MFox: Also many people that upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, then ended up with issues. [14:47] i've mount the cd image as a drive, [14:47] sebsebseb: ok [14:47] sebsebseb: karmic works fine for me :D [14:48] MFox: you can then mount the ISO and run:gksu "sh /cdrom0/cdromupgrade" [14:48] Younder, no I didn't take that hard enough to make me mad :P [14:48] !worksforme | peterSK1 [14:48] peterSK1: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [14:48] also i've tried the sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade in terminal [14:48] MFox: assuming you mounted the ISO to /media/cdrom0 [14:48] sebsebseb, hi, i went ahead and stuck with 9.10 [14:48] but it says can not open the cdromupgrade [14:48] MFox: have a look at the factoid above from the bot :) [14:49] MFox: does the file exist. You can check with: file /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade [14:49] hello, I recently upgraded to karmic and some erratic ubuntu-ignores-configuration behavior in touchpad/keyboard/etc is frustrating me. Can you help me make sense of it? [14:49] ActionParsnip: nope, it doesnt exist ! [14:49] MFox: are you mounting the alternate ISO? You cannot CD upgrade with the desktop ISO [14:49] MFox: Also instead of just upgrading to 9.10, or well trying to, maybe you should check out the release notes, so you have an idea about some of the issues. Also in certain ways 9.10 is a kind of downgrade really, for example how the log in screen can't be themed like the old one. [14:50] MFox: Altough there's a way to get the old one working [14:50] sebsebseb: its on the screen for seconds, why is that so hugely detremental [14:50] ActionParsnip: depends on the user [14:50] sebsebseb, also the ubuntu logi is all white again [14:50] logo [14:50] i guess [14:51] ah [14:51] MFox: is it the alternate ISO you are using?? [14:51] i love the 9.04 login screen [14:51] sebsebseb: Seems like you are very knowledgeable and in demand, is there some venue I should be using instead of this one to get help with the video install issue? [14:51] ActionParsnip: i dont think so :-/ [14:51] its the desktop cd image [14:51] !notes | MFox [14:51] MFox: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [14:51] not a whole lot of fans of Karmic here I guess [14:52] Younder: that's not true, most of the people in here will like it [14:52] Younder: or probably anyway [14:52] charles_: Just saw some of your comments. Wonder if I may be having same problem as you.... [14:52] MFox: it wont work then the upgrade notes clearly state its the alternate ISO you need, they even boldify it for emphasis [14:52] Younder: its all the same to me [14:52] Younder: well i'm not fan just becouse jaunty worked equally well ;) [14:52] Wow Guest38...: [14:52] MFox: If you do a clean install, you get Ext4 and Grub 2 without an issue, or well probably [14:52] Younder: yeah I haven't really noticed much difference between 9.04 and 9.1 [14:52] ActionParsnip: yes! thats my fault... i guessed its the same! [14:52] MFox: no Ext4 or Grub 2 by default for Ext3 9.04 installs [14:53] cuz there isnt any link for download [14:53] different artwork, different version of firefox... [14:53] Younder, i have no problems at all with 9.10 [14:53] MFox: well you know what you gotta do now to get the gold :D [14:53] sebsebseb, well support makes you kinda kritical. And there are a whole lot of bugs in Karmic [14:53] Snausages: the new artwork is sucky [14:53] Guest38..: do you have any thoughts on which file to mess around with? [14:53] Younder: indeed at that, quite a lot of bugs in Karmic, and ones where people have ended up with issues as a result [14:53] sebsebseb, keeps us busy.. [14:53] sebsebseb: I might not go that far, but I have to say I miss some of what I saw in 9.04. I dunno, I only used it 10 days before I upgraded to karmic [14:53] Younder: also things that worked in Jauntey, no longer work in Karmic, and that kind of thing [14:53] charles_: no [14:54] sebsebseb: and I'd never used any ubuntu before that [14:54] Snausages: What kind of stuff are you missing? [14:54] charles_: maybe... [14:54] ~grub [14:54] !grub [14:54] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. === ganesh is now known as Guest88775 [14:54] sebsebseb: literally just the look of the artwork on the login screen for jaunty. [14:54] !grub2 [14:54] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:54] Gu: ok [14:54] blub [14:54] Snausages: ah yes that [14:54] is there any way to repartition existing partition? [14:54] Snausages: well there is a way to use the old screen instead [14:55] Guest88775: you can resize using gparted in liveCD desktop [14:55] Snausages: I tried, but something went a bit wrong [14:55] sebsebseb: I guess I'm disappointed though... the only reason I upgraded to 9.1 was because I heard it was possible to get some kind of color management... still haven't gotten it to work though. [14:55] dog biscuits? [14:55] when I install phpmyadmin thru apt-get, it downloads the old version 2. How can I install the version 3? Or I have to do it manually? [14:55] charles_: Let me repeat my issue first, and let you tell me if we have the same issue. [14:55] n8ature: here is the Desktop /etc/network/interfaces [14:55] Fresh install of Karmic seems to screw up the framebuffer somehow. Notify-OSD and System Monitor are bonkers. Anyone know how to fix that? [14:55] Cool [14:55] Guest88775: make sure your backups are sufficiently recent incase of catastophe [14:56] charles_: So it's the same issue? [14:56] afeijo: i suggest you try and find a PPA with ver 3 on [14:56] MFox: If you want to upgrade to Karmic of course that's up to you, but if you read what some of us are saying here regarding it, you might want to think twice. Also so your less likely to get issues, you should clean install 9.10 really. [14:56] I'm thinking of trying to do a network install, using a Ubuntu PC to provide the files needed to the computer having linux installed on it, but I'd like to know what I'd need to change from the Ubuntu guide for installing Ubuntu, if I'm using Slax instead [14:56] ActionParsnip: ppa? [14:56] afeijo: http://ppa-search.appspot.com/ may give some help [14:56] 1ppa | afeijo [14:56] ok [14:56] sebsebseb,like right out of the box rythmbox and totem didn't work [14:57] sebsebseb: ok dude! thanx [14:57] sebsebseb: i've changed my mind :D [14:57] !ppa [14:57] 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. [14:57] CRAP [14:57] hola a todos [14:57] i just stuffed it [14:57] sebsebseb: 9.04 looks fine :P [14:57] sebsebseb, truns out my multiple python versions made it instal pygtk in the wrong place [14:57] Gu..381123: You are way above my head. I don't know anything about the frame buffers, I installed 9.04 not KK [14:57] theres nothing in /interfaces [14:57] hay alguien español [14:58] MFox: Snausages Younder Do you all understand about the release, as in what LTS is and what non LTS is, and how long each get supported for?

Except color management anyway, but that seems like an uphill battle in linux anyway. [14:58] charles_: Ok. Thought you'd said Karmic. I'm on a Latitude BTW. [14:58] MFox: well 10.04 should be a good one to get, since it's the next LTS [14:58] sebsebseb, not really, enighten me [14:58] !lts [14:58] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [14:58] ironfoot495, I LOVE YOU [14:58] sebsebseb: yea sounds like that [14:58] THANK YOU FOR THAT FILE!

[15:00] Younder: ok well basically the versions that aern't LTS are kind of test releases in a way, well they aren't really business quality standard, and they also only get 18 months of support, the Long Term Support releases get supported for longer, and are the kind of business release.

But when i run under SUDO it sounds. ************ [15:01] ironfoot495: the first paste was your desktop right? the second your server? [15:01] Younder: and it's fine to use whatever version of Ubuntu you want, as long as it's still supported by security updates [15:01] hello i have just installed Ati Catalyst Display driver, and when i restart the pc i just only see the sign of ubuntu and then black screen. now im currently from live cd. is there any possible way to uninstall ati driver? [15:01] yo all [15:01] I'm thinking of trying to do a network install, using a Ubuntu PC to provide the files needed to the computer having linux installed on it, but I'd like to know what I'd need to change from the Ubuntu guide for installing Ubuntu, if I'm using a Slax LiveCD instead of Ubuntu [15:02] DrRobinTosh: whoo! I'd like to know who you are before I make that kind of statement? (smile)!!! [15:02] haha [15:02] sebsebseb, I kinda guessed as much [15:02] MFox: 10.04 is a good one for you to clean install, won't have to upgrade through 9.10 first that way, and you will get Ext4 and Grub 2 [15:02] can anyone help me with configuring grub2 [15:02] n8ature: probably let me try it bb; [15:03] anyone know how to asigin a static ip of 10.1.1.69? http://paste.ubuntu.com/328536/ [15:03] 10.1.1.69* [15:03] Younder: however it seems, that most Ubuntu users, think that the latest release is going to be the best one, but that is not always the case depending on the user, and their hardware [15:03] sebsebseb, I still think it is a mistake to auto-update to a non-stable version [15:04] Younder: The non LTS versions are stable as well [15:04] Younder: it's just they aren't likely to be as stable as a LTS version [15:04] just a idea [15:04] the next release [15:04] ironfoot495: after you update that file on your server to be the same as your desktop, you can restart the networking on your server with this command: "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [15:04] what if you were to foucs more on the GUI? [15:04] How do I launch sytem monitor? [15:04] id work on some gfx for it [15:05] is it possible to recover data if the partition got formatted?(ext3) [15:05] sebsebseb, still changing to chrome and real player fixed most of the problems [15:05] I'm thinking of trying to do a network install, using a Ubuntu PC to provide the files needed to the computer having linux installed on it, but I'd like to know what I'd need to change from the Ubuntu guide for installing Ubuntu, if I'm using a Slax LiveCD instead of Ubuntu [15:05] !testdisk | Guest88775 [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about testdisk [15:05] !info testdisk [15:05] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool.

[15:12] hi was wondering if there is any reason to upgrade to 9.10 [15:13] i run 9.04 [15:13] !pxe [15:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe [15:13] I am trying to use midnight commander in a gnome terminal window. problem is that the function keys work on the terminal window and are not passed to midnight commander. How can I fix this? [15:13] StarLionIsaac, fedora has good pxe support, have you considered them? Dunno about slax [15:13] So I've messed up my drivers. [15:14] HilBilly: i'd imagine it is [15:14] sync3times: Fedora isn't what I'm after though, it's Slax. Based off Slackware, if that changes anything [15:14] I removed nvidia-drivers and everything related, tried installing the nouvea (or something like that) driver, which didn't work. [15:14] HilBilly: sorry, wrong target [15:14] ok, thanks. [15:15] hello [15:15] Then I went back to the nVidia proprietary drivers, but now I've lost shader support for some reason. [15:15] oh ok..since my full harddisk is / and no data partitions i thought of converting a part of hard disk into data partition.. [15:15] StarLionIsaac, well, since the pxe has to get the installer going and each one is different, I think you need to look at the slax support for pxe [15:15] hello all [15:15] sync3times: I've looked, the best I can find is a guide for installing Slackware, using a Slackware PC as the provider, which does things differently [15:16] Guest88775: have you removed old kernels? [15:16] sync3times: That's why I was trying to understand how to change the Ubuntu guide for Slax [15:16] StarLionIsaac, what are the limitations that you need to do the network install? [15:16] Guest88775: that will save you 120Mb per kernel [15:16] sync3times: No CD, DVD or floppy drive, no USB ports, and only one ethernet port - the laptop's fairly old [15:16] yes..its a fresh installation [15:17] !home | Guest88775 [15:17] Guest88775: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [15:17] StarLionIsaac: i'd ask in #slax or #slackware [15:17] [15:17] Any suggestions? [15:17] StarLionIsaac, what is on there now? [15:17] can anybody help me with vsftpd (with virtual users)? [15:17] the_madman: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [15:17] sync3times: Ubuntu Karmic, on the only partition other than swap [15:18] kotslon, you don't wanna go there [15:18] ActionParsnip: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [Geforce Go 6600TE/6200TE] (rev a2) [15:18] ActionParsnip: Slax doesn't have a channel that I could find, and Slackware said to either ask here because it's a Ubuntu provider, or in Slax, which I can't find [15:18] StarLionIsaac, how did you get Karmic on? [15:18] I am running from a live-cd now, so what should I do to fix the grub menu so I can boot into jaunty again? [15:18] its a fresh installation [15:18] kotslon, use ssh these days [15:18] sync3times: I upgraded it from Jaunty, which in turn was from Intrepid, that was installed by LiveCD when the only USB port still worked [15:18] Younder: i don't think i understood you ) [15:19] sync3times: I've already tried to get the port working again, to no avail, it's a hardware issue, not software, and would cost me more than I have to get it fixed [15:19] the_madman: ok run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove then reboot, then follow this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html to install the 190 driver (alpha) or 185 driver (stable) [15:19] can I ask xubuntu questions here? [15:19] i am having issues from last night downloading ubunto 9 from ubuntu site [15:19] Guest88775: i thought you said / was full [15:19] kotslon, there is a HUGE problem with FTP over the network [15:19] I deleted ubuntu out of the grub menu and need to fix it so I was told to boot into a live-cd and repair it... but more help would be appreciated [15:19] Younder: why? [15:20] StarLionIsaac, Ah. Well you have linux on there right now. You could do something like write to the boot sectors of the hd and essentially destroy your current install but make it an installation device. It would be a live or die event [15:20] StarLionIsaac: #slackware has 288 users in [15:20] after so many times i was able to, now i can't burn the iso its erroring out at 26% [15:20] Younder: i need ftp server. i used filezilla, but it's windows only :( === imlad is now known as imlad|away [15:20] piper69: is it an ubuntu ISO?

[15:21] zortec: its i/o error [15:21] sync3times: the swap partition you mean? But that gets mounted as soon as Karmic starts [15:21] kostkon: it's client [15:21] i want a Magic Mouse! [15:21] i got one, but its not mine, its apples [15:21] the_madman: well if you follow the guide you can get drivered up, you just need to pull out all the current nvidia stuff so you have a clean slate [15:21] StarLionIsaac, but it does not have to [15:21] kotslon, oh [15:22] ActionParsnip: Cool. Will do. [15:22] Younder, i think, i need :) [15:22] also this might just be my cd drive but when it's reading a disc, for example the live-cd it sounds like a 747 taking off... and I wonder if there is anything I can do to quiet it [15:22] sync3times: Would 500mb be enough space though? [15:22] Well, see you all later, then. [15:22] for ubuntu 9.10 (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, kernel-2.6.31-15-generic) system freezes completely (even unable to ssh). after it i have installed for my "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3870" the latest driver from ati website (ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run created fglrx-*_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb). but system freezes from time to time anyway (e.g. when one opens lots of tabs in a browser [firefox,chromium..]). i tried to upg [15:22] sync3times: And even if it is, I don't know how to stop it being mounted [15:22] piper69: if its an ubuntu CD, did you MD5 test the ISO? [15:22] how can extract zip file from terminal [15:22] pendrive detection problem http://pastebin.ca/1688207 [15:22] mossati: unzip file.zip [15:22] I have xubuntu issues with my xfce-panel [15:22] kotslon: yes you don. But it can all be done under SSH [15:22] StarLionIsaac, thats almost a whole cd. Surely there are smaller install images for slax. [15:22] ActionParsnip> thanks :) [15:22] ActionParsnip: no i didn't how can i do that please [15:23] kotslon: withouth the riscs [15:23] things like network manager don't show [15:23] !md5 | piper69 [15:23] piper69: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:23] StarLionIsaac, you can edit fstab to stop it, and you can use fdisk to change the partition type [15:23] sync3times: There are, but I added modules that gave me the base system I'd use - Slax has KDE as default, and I made openbox and Gnome available, along with networking [15:23] sync3times: I've been in that file before... I don't really like doing anything in it, but if it's the only way [15:23] StarLionIsaac, but you could add all that after the initial install. [15:23] and now the exit button on the panel only allows me to exit the panel [15:23] kotslon: join the Kerberos comunity [15:23] piper69: you are trying to burn a file and you have no way of knowing its good which can cause all sorts of issues if its bad [15:23] does anyone know how to fix a loud cdrom drive? I wouldn't mind but I might need to wear earplugs if it keeps taking off like a jet [15:23] StarLionIsaac, this is not an ubuntu install? but rather slax? [15:23] which just ends my session [15:24] zortec: secure it in the case better [15:24] sync3times: Not necessairly, where network is the only way to get things on, and KDE is painfully slow on there, I had to put at least networking on [15:24] Anyone else got problems with Compiz effects + flash = cant press any buttons on the flash player? [15:24] <^^> coucou === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [15:24] ActionParsnip: it is secured in there by four screws [15:24] bazhang: Yes, I'm trying to install Slax via a network install, using the Ubuntu guide for installing Ubuntu over a network [15:24] ActionParsnip: I will take a look at it again [15:24] Basso: its a known bug in some cases. I'd ask in #comiz [15:24] StarLionIsaac, sure, but consider the first phase a boot-strap installation to get the rest of it working [15:24] StarLionIsaac, ##slax for slax support not here [15:25] ActionParsnip: thanks mate [15:25] Can anyone give me a tutorial how do install dotnet framework? [15:25] bazhang: Slax isn't the support I'm after - it's installing it from ubuntu [15:25] sync3times: But then how to get the cd image to it? [15:25] exit [15:25] bazhang: the pxe server is ubuntu though [15:25] Lungan: Why not just install monodevelop? [15:25] XD [15:25] hello i have install Ati drivers and when i restart i was only able to see a black screen, then i have boot in recovery mode and remove ATI drivers and now the monitor goes to sleep mode. any suggestions? [15:25] zortec, how? apt-get install monodevelop [15:25] Basso: it may work if you start firefox like this: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1; firefox [15:25] hello [15:25] StarLionIsaac, that is offtopic here. You are not dealing with an Ubuntu installation [15:26] StarLionIsaac, /join ##slax [15:26] I am not in ubuntu atm, but you can do a quick google search for monodevelop and it will be the first or second result [15:26] bazhang: I'm trying to learn how to us Ubuntu to install Slax, not doing anything else yet [15:26] zortec, Im trying to install a program that gives me error because i dont have dotnet framework .exe [15:26] bazhang: It's the Ubuntu part of it I'm having problems with, hence, here [15:26] StarLionIsaac, you make your current paging space your active boot partition hd loader whatever. Then you install to your big partition...but no page space. Then you go back and change your page/loader partition back to page space [15:26] does anyone know why ubuntu 9.10 can't mount a DVD [15:27] Younder, i need my friends to be able to download/upload files using Filezilla or browser. Will Kerberos or SSH help me? [15:27] sync3times: Ah, I think I understand now. I'll try it, thanks [15:27] kotslon, yes [15:27] Hi - how are you all? Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans here. [15:27] StarLionIsaac, there great thing is. Its reversable if the boot from paging space doesnt work out [15:27] Lungan: well, .NET framework would have to be installed through WINE since it's not a linux app and monodevelop is the equivalent of visual studio .NET [15:27] kotslon, this is where I give you a link [15:27] need help in dist-upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/328554/ [15:28] StarLionIsaac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer will help, its all good up to the copying files bit [15:28] <_qUaNtUm_> can linux work without ram if i gave it 2 gb of swap? [15:28] zortec, so I juse monodevelop instead of .NET [15:28] How can I set up my UBUNTU 9.10 with LAMP installed to be accessed from outside of the local network (i.e. from anywhere on the internet)? [15:28] <_qUaNtUm_> i mean physicly with no ram at all [15:28] freecell does not show up in aisleriot although it's in the help and some scheme files in the package too. ideas? [15:28] hehehe [15:28] _qUaNtUm_: the system will refuse to boot without ram [15:28] _qUaNtUm_: it will fail post [15:28] Lungan: that is what I would use instead [15:28] heheheheheh [15:28] kotslon: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t9.htm [15:28] quantum yeah - you wont post... [15:28] ActionParsnip: thanks for that too, I'll see if I can get this working now [15:28] _qUaNtUm_: linux doesn't require a huge swap, you can even give it 1gb [15:28] mackjones you need to configure your router [15:28] Ram is cheap [15:28] _qUaNtUm_: the data from the drives goes into ram then transferred to the data registers [15:28] come on good folks dad needs freecell for a move to ubuntu ;) [15:29] Younder, your link leads me to eepc :) [15:29] <_qUaNtUm_> ActionParsnip: right [15:29] uaneme - yes I figured that, but how and what do I do? [15:29] donri: you are looking for a freecell game on linux, yes? [15:29] kotslon, to SFTP [15:29] the modem/ router handles the port acces details of your DSL [15:29] kotslon, which is fine [15:29] zortec, how do I use it? Still when I run wine setup.exe I get the error "dotnetfx35setup.exe cannot be verified" or sometging like that === millstone is now known as wulfgang [15:29] _qUaNtUm_: you could have very little ram ad use a large swap if you for example had 24 SSDs in RAID [15:29] zortec, well, aisleriot has freecell, it's just not showing up in the game selection for me. locale issue? do you get it? [15:30] <_qUaNtUm_> ActionParsnip: got it thanks [15:30] you need to look it up in the manual of your router [15:30] uaneme - yes I know that. I'm asking what ports need to be forwarded, etc. [15:30] !appdb | Lungan [15:30] Lungan: 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 [15:30] ah port 80 is for http [15:30] Lungan: I have not installed .NET through wine so you will need to get help from people that have developed .NET applications in WINE, sorry [15:30] ftp, telnet,etc? [15:30] donri: did you try a system search for it? [15:30] telnet don't do that [15:31] use ssh [15:31] donri: if you are sure it was successfully installed [15:31] zortec, Okok, but can you recommend another way to install my program since it complain about an error since I dont have the dodnetfx35setup [15:31] what if i want to SSH into my system [15:31] hello i have install Ati drivers and when i restart i was only able to see a black screen, then i have boot in recovery mode and remove ATI drivers and now the monitor goes to sleep mode. any suggestions? [15:31] <_qUaNtUm_> ActionParsnip: another thing, i temporary unplugged my monitor from a running linux system to use it on another pc, meanwhile linux will keep running right? it doesnt need the monitor to run, we need it to see whatz goin on but itz not needed by the pc right? :D [15:31] OH, how do I set up SSH?

[15:46] zortec i also did that already [15:46] ActionParsnip, I did that already, this blocking non-quicktime agents in the http headers is recent [15:46] When I redone the /etc/network/interfaces it did not like that configuration. [15:46] sameer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup [15:46] I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my sister's laptop earlier and I can't connect to the wireless network. [15:46] its possible to copy moren than 4 GB with the cp comand? [15:47] It says: Wireless "disconnected" [15:47] solcero: cp does not care about the file size. [15:47] And I've manually typed in the SSID and Key [15:47] zortec, solved, as i suspected, locale related. freecell has a *really* weird name in swedish. [15:47] xXedixXx: chipset?

[15:48] How do I remove the unstable version of Google Chrome from my computer. I [15:48] igie: whats the output of : lspci | grep -i vga [15:48] Ubee: Did you look for the package in synaptic like I told you? [15:48] grawity: yes that right [15:48] Ubee: use software centre or synaptic [15:48] Ubee: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename [15:48] Ubee: You can also search using "search" for the package name [15:48] solcero: Almost always, USB drives come formatted using FAT32, which has a limit of 4 GB. (Or worse, FAT16 - 2 GB.) To get past that limit, you need to change the filesystem... [15:49] how do I look for the unstable version? I am a neophyte on Ubuntu. [15:49] ActionParsnip: its not a PCI card, its from the motherboard [15:49] igie: a lot of tvs and tv outputs on video cards can't handle anything higher [15:49] igie: its still attatched to the pci bus [15:49] Ubee: Take a look at the installed packages in synaptic, open up your package manager [15:49] i could not find the program on software center. [15:49] BRB [15:49] igie: trust me, it'll tell you [15:49] ActionParsnip: ok let me check [15:49] solcero: ...NTFS is the recommended one if you're going to use that USB drive on a Windows computer. Install gparted and ntfsprogs using apt-get (or using Synaptic). [15:49] Ubee: installed with a deb? or with *.tar.gz? [15:49] Ubee: Let me get the name of the package, hold on please [15:49] deb [15:49] ActionParsnip thats the terminal magic that keeps me here learning ubuntu [15:50] D_K_2: its nearly all i use [15:50] ironfoot: which last transaction? what do you mean by dropped it to the ground? [15:50] Ubee: Try sudo apt-remove chromium-browser [15:50] igie: same as webcams in laptops show up in lsusb as they are attatched to the usb bus [15:50] ActionParsnip someday for me, though i do like the gui [15:50] grawity: ah ok thx, i only work in VirtualBox and i want to use my vid file in windows and ubuntu.

[15:50] D_K_2: if it works for you, greta :D [15:51] *great [15:51] Ubee: You need to use the terminal to do that, if you didn't know [15:51] solcero: So install ntfsprogs and poke me when it's done. [15:51] Yeah the chipset is a Broadcom 43 [15:51] Thanks [15:51] !broadcom | xXedixXx [15:51] xXedixXx: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx === podfish is now known as opop [15:51] seyfarth: install ssh and setup port forwarding too so you can connect from miles away and fix stuff :) [15:52] seyfarth: as well as over lan [15:52] in terminal in says " command not found.

I need to fix the grub menu so that I can boot into jaunty since right now it boots right into windows and I can't press -esc- to see the boot menu and I am running off a live-cd [16:03] t0rc: Try partimage or monorescue [16:03] errr, stupid question, but what exactly do I apt-get to get hold of the linux kernel source to do a manual rebuild [16:03] uaneme: as dvd is not playable with a vanilla ubuntu due to weird laws in some coutries [16:03] GhostPup, gparted do it? [16:03] zortec i had that once and i fixed it with Gparted Live CD [16:04] t0rc_: gparted is for editing partitions [16:04] zortec: what partition is your windows loaded on [16:04] uaneme: I know ActionParsnip and iceroot told me to get a live-cd and repair the grub menu, but I am not sure what to type [16:04] o damn... it's an English DVD and i'm in the netherl;ands [16:04] Symmetria doesn't sound stupid to me I have to do it too.

[16:06] there is nothing in /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:06] I don't believe Adobe Acrobat is made for linux.

[16:06] fahadsadah: Not true [16:06] zortec: you have to mount your jaunty-partition first [16:06] fahadsadah the reader is. [16:06] Oh?

[16:12] nikitis: you can use partimage to make an image then spit it onto a bigger partition, or you can use dd to write the data bit by bit from source to destination [16:12] is that menu.lst as in "lion" or 1st? [16:12] How to add an existing user to an existing group? I tried useradd -g and it says " already exists" [16:12] lion zortec [16:12] nikitis: afaik yes it'll work [16:12] zortec: like list [16:12] nikitis, I would do what epinky sez [16:12] zortec: without the i [16:13] !english | GilPS [16:13] GilPS: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only.

[16:15] zortec: if you are in the live cd the path to the file will be in a mount point in media [16:15] llutz: ok I have the menu.lst file open [16:15] zortec: check for hiddenmenu/timeout [16:16] so I added this to apt sources "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse" still cannot find acroread. What is the package name on your system?

I wanted /dev/sr0 instead. Thanks all. [16:18] llutz: I just want to get in and then I can play around with the timeout value and other menu settings :) [16:18] epinky: thanks, but this will not give you updates, in case there are any [16:18] zortec: set #hiddenmenu, timeout 5 now and change later then [16:19] so I must have been really confused... boot.ini in windows has nothing to do with why I can't see the grub menu but it was because I changed some values in menu.lst [16:19] amgarching: updates are important :) good luck [16:19] zortec: confusing because you can boot linux via windows boot.ini, but thats not recommended [16:20] just one more question before I go, I know ActionParsnip told me to upgrade and see if I run into any problems and if so do a clean install, about how long does it take to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 anyway? [16:20] epinky: its here: echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" >> /etc/apt/sources.list; aptitude update; aptitude install acroread [16:21] zortec: When I did it took a few hours [16:21] zortec upgrades take a while, usually 30 min if you have a decent ISP and ok computer [16:21] I should leave it running for a while [16:21] my connection is ADSL [16:21] zortec: But I have a lot of stuff on my machine [16:22] zortec itll take a while just to download [16:22] zortec: if jaunty works for you, ne need for upgrading [16:22] no* [16:22] are the chances of it having problems likely? I kind of want a best guess answer on this :) [16:22] zortec: never touch a running system :) [16:22] zortec: I have a 100 Meg connection till the end of the year man I'm gonna miss it after that! [16:22] I have read on the ubuntu forum that people had a lot of problems upgrading [16:22] zortec, it depends on the speed of your internet connetion and partially your hard drive speeds as well [16:22] zortec: I didn't upgrade, but just reinstalled [16:23] If you want to upgrade though, go ahead [16:23] Manually, but not with update-manager [16:23] anyone knows where *.so of openjdk jre is in linux [16:23] hi all [16:23] I don't know wy my squid proxy is too low and heavy, is there any suggestion ? [16:23] alabd: dpkg -L openjdk.... (packagename) [16:23] now I am kind of mixed up, is it a good idea to upgrade or just keep jaunty and wait for 10.04 to come out? [16:23] Is it possible to upgrade from 904 to 910 with 910 cd only no internet connection? [16:23] zortec, but a clean install will take about 15 minutes or so ...after having downloaded the cd [16:23] zortec: depends how many packages you have installed [16:24] zortec you arent missing much, maybe empathy if you dont like pidgin [16:24] zortec: ask 10 persons to get 15 different answers [16:24] zortec: my / takes up little over 2gb which will be significantly faster than someone who has to download compiz / open office / gimp etc which i dont have [16:24] zortec: you even wont win anything [16:24] I want the power of ext4 and grub2 though... which is what I thought you get when you upgrade to karmic === munsking_ is now known as munsking [16:24] but then I was told you only get it if you do a clean install [16:24] zortec: you can convert ext3 to ext4 but you wont get the full ext4 functionality [16:25] zortec: ext4 needs fresh filesystem, noupdateing [16:25] zortec: Fastest/Easist way is to re-install [16:25] zortec, well do eliminat any possible buggie behavior ,, I would clean install [16:25] zortec: and grub2.... i haven't seen any improvement yet [16:25] I'm torn between an upgrade/fresh install/or just leave 9.04 and wait until april to upgrade again [16:25] zortec: use 9.04, wait for 10.04 and think again [16:26] helloo [16:26] how does empathy compare to pidgin or do I want to know? [16:26] zortec, I see no advantage of grub2 at this point [16:26] my 9.04 upgrade hung after fetching all files - is this a known issue? [16:26] llutz: can i pm you a quick sec please [16:26] ActionParsnip: sure [16:26] zortec, I prefer pidgin althouh I really dont use and chat clients [16:26] zortec pidgin has wayyy more options ATM but empathy will improve quickly [16:26] is there channel for arab people for ubuntu ? [16:27] AspireZ: my guess is probably not... [16:27] ok [16:27] !sa> AspireZ [16:27] AspireZ, please see my private message [16:27] Is there any way to restart the upgrade process without re-downloading all [16:27] Is it possible to upgrade from 904 to 910 with 910 cd only no internet connection? [16:27] does ext4 give you a 5-10% performance boost in file operations? [16:27] zortec: or use carrier :) [16:28] Asa2005_: of course [16:28] I mean distru upgrade [16:28] hi, how do I get Java Virtual Machine on Ub8.04 installed? Which package is it [16:28] ActionParsnip: what is carrier? [16:28] zortec: file system performance is a function of workload [16:28] Asad2005_, yeah you should be able to upgrade to a point...what will happen is that the cd will opnen the upgrade manager [16:29] Asad2005_: have you tried google? [16:29] ubottu : talk to me plz in priavte [16:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:29] i was having problems with video playback stopping and someone told me to remove pulse audo, but doing sudo apt-get remove pulse* , now my desktop on longer starts [16:29] Asad2005_: yes, using the Alternate install cd [16:29] KaiForce: I thought it was a function of your filesystem and the type of hard drive you have such as scsi, sata, or and if you are using a raid system [16:29] !info sun-java6-jre | calwig [16:29] calwig: sun-java6-jre (source: sun-java6): Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture independent files). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6-15-1 (karmic), package size 6270 kB, installed size 14360 kB (Only available for all amd64 i386 lpia ia64) [16:29] zortec: hardware aside [16:29] hi, how do I get Java Virtual Machine on Ub8.04 installed? Which package is it (For Firefox!) [16:29] calwig: you mean sun virtual machine? [16:29] ok thanks all [16:29] by that I mean apart from your hardware [16:29] zortec: its a fork of pidgin, but the devs like direct suggestions so you can email them stuff you want adding etc [16:30] calwig at least the documentation mentions tour version! [16:30] aeon-ltd: search for something along the lines of sun-java6-jdk [16:30] calwig, sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin [16:30] I will d/l alternate cd [16:30] you can still use empathy in 9.04 right? I know it's usually not advised to mix gnome and kde apps because you get a slow system [16:30] so I try to stick with just exclusively gnome or kde, not both [16:30] This is generally polish or international [16:30] zortec: yes you can, empathy is in the 9.04 repos [16:30] oh i se [16:30] see [16:30] zortec: just more bloat on the HDD, otherwise you can mix away [16:31] zortec yeah? I've done it for years and never noticed. [16:31] !pl | sirkamilo [16:31] sirkamilo: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [16:31] aeon-ltd, well I have an email program thru ff that asks me to have Java VM installed. I have sun-java6-bin/jre installed but it doesnt load [16:31] calwig, after installing give this in terminal: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [16:31] of course the last impression I had of kde when I used it was that there was too much fireworks and it really got in your way of being productive, maybe that changed in 9.10 [16:31] ive noticed when running KDE on gnome more processes have to be run, thus slowing down your system [16:31] zortec though launching a KDE app in gnome is a bit slow. [16:31] kostkon: I usually recommend hunting down every gcj-related package and uninstalling them, but that's just a bit too complicated to do for beginner. [16:32] * alankila hates gcj [16:32] alankila, yeap [16:32] how are the reviews of karmic? I like what I've seen so far [16:32] is there allready a 64bit 10.1 libflashplayer.so ? [16:33] Good afternoon! I came a little trouble! :) [16:33] has canonical released any info on what will be in 10.04 and what the codename is? [16:33] As I did not find the forum in my language or in GOOGLE. I ended up here! :) [16:33] zortec: Lucid Lynx [16:33] I know it is really early :) [16:33] !ubuntu+1 | zortec [16:33] It's about webcam. My webcam works with AMSN, CHEESE and SKYPE. [16:33] zortec: 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 [16:33] calwig: is java that neccessry, cos i have it but disabled it because of it's "uselessness" in reality [16:33] oops [16:33] !lucid | zortec [16:33] zortec: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:34] kostkon, still doesnt work [16:34] But does not work with camorama, motion and effectv. [16:34] Does anyone have any idea of what can be? [16:34] algum brazuka ? preciso tirar algumas duvidas :D [16:34] GilPS - type your question/problem in one sentence/paragraph [16:34] kostkon, i think the website has an issue [16:34] !br | vini__ [16:34] vini__: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [16:34] Karmic Koala is a cool name but Lucid Lynx... hmm wonder about those names [16:34] they say there is a lot to be said in a name [16:34] calwig, did you restart your browser [16:34] kostkon, www-s-mail.com (can you click on Sign-Up) [16:34] ok [16:34] aeon-ltd: java is useless by itself. It's all about finding software written in java that you want to run, of course. [16:34] calwig, let me check [16:34] kostkon, restart yep [16:34] zortec: how is karmic koala any cooler than lucid lynx? [16:34] I have a question for anyone [16:35] It's always nice to be Lucid after you've been Karmic [16:35] alankila all I want is the browser plugin enabled here. [16:35] Ubee, shoot [16:35] KaiForce: maybe I just have an affinity for koalas [16:35] could be [16:35] pfred1: that? I suspect it's called sun-java6-plugin [16:35] kostkon, ok thanks, the sign up site uses java. I will check with another website my java settings. See if this s-mail site is bugged [16:35] zortec- you know what? you are missing "upstart" by not upgrading. supposed to speed up boot, but ive seen my boot-time lengthen by atleat 5 seconds [16:35] there is an airline that has a different animal on the tail of every one of their airplanes. they should do a promotion with canonical [16:36] D_K_2: upstart? [16:36] hallo [16:36] calwig, yeah something happened. it crashed by browser :S [16:36] !upstart [16:36] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [16:36] alankila I appear to have the lib package installed etc just looking for the instructions for my version of Ubuntu so far all docs i see stop at 8.04 I have 9.1 [16:36] D_K_2: but if it increased your boot time, I am not sure I trust it unless it's another one of those features that only works if you do a full install [16:36] pfred1: I doubt anything has changed. I'm sadly on win32 so I can't validate whether it really works. Java applets are such a rarity after all. [16:36] good day. I want to set up ubuntu on my laptop with SSD and want to ask if there are any porblems with ubuntu and ssd (destroying SDD, making it slow...) [16:36] kostkon, lol ok yours went worse, mine just stopped and showed a readable error to click on if nothing happened [16:37] I think last time I enabled java was to see some interactive charts at mathworld [16:37] what packages i should install from medibuntu to make 3gp audio (amr) works? amrnb or amrwb? [16:37] kostkon, ok so the site is faulty. all good then thanks [16:37] zortec, you are on 9.04 right now? [16:37] Marove: I think you'll be fine. [16:37] calwig, :) [16:37] coz_: yes [16:37] alankila I wish my ISP felt that way their page seems to need java [16:37] zortec - i think its just not perfected. the lynx is gonna be great though [16:38] coz_: oh wait if you mean have I logged into 9.04? not yet [16:38] for all of you that responded to my query about the upgrade, which is nobody, restarting it seems to have gotten me past the logjam. [16:38] zortec, well I have 9.10 installed... I fond nothing particularly special about grub2 and the boot sequence in 9.10 karmic is sluggish at best...once in the system it is decent but not perfect...i would name karmic an experimental release more than anything [16:38] is there someone who ever worked with : squid-squidGuard as a proxy ? [16:38] weird stuff: i've got llvm and llvm-gcc packages installed and i can't seem to find llvm-gcc command but other llvm-* commands exist [16:38] kostkon, http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/loop-vis.html <-- java works here [16:38] coz_: grub boot sequence or ubuntu itself? [16:38] My webcam works with AMSN, CHEESE and SKYPE. But does not work with camorama, motion and effectv. Does anyone have any idea of what can be? [16:38] test === matthew is now known as Guest32372 [16:39] coz_ - completely agree on the test release [16:39] kaiforce: if there are many write and read-actions on ssd it will be destroyed, but there are a way, that this doesn't happen (i know it from windows 7) is this function also in ubuntu kernel? [16:39] coz_: I will stick with 9.04 for now and see what is in store for lucid lynx [16:39] Ubee: your question was 'test'? [16:39] i was just seeing if I was online [16:39] coz_: so, it's not the most wonderful thing in the world, but it works. isn't that the definition of a stable, not "experimental", release? [16:39] me too [16:39] Ubee: there are other ways to see if you are online than type "test" [16:39] aeon-ltd, well the boot sequence is not good and the version 9.10 is strickly experimental and therefor ,,,in my opinion .. not all that trustworthy [16:39] calwig, yeah. thus, something's wrong with the java applet on s-mail.com [16:39] Marove: I think wear leveling is built into the SSD and not a function of the OS, but maybe I'm wrong. [16:39] i had to go back to intrepid cause karmic would not work with clonezilla [16:40] My enter key does not work and I can only enter by using the enter key on the chatzilla screen. What could have happened? [16:40] something to do with its bootscripts [16:40] GilPS : i have same problem, but i guess my cam is fine if i can view it with Cheese [16:40] coz_ 9.1 is an experimental version? [16:40] zortec, i would wait until april unless you have something that needs to be changed on the system with some of the new libraries [16:40] pfred1, at best ... in my opinion...yes [16:40] after resuming from hibernate I have several problems - cannot connect to non-WEP wireless networks, video is screwed up in text mode consoles, lsmod/rmmod/etc hang. [16:40] I have a weird problem. I deleted WINE and removed it from my main menu. When I reinstalled it, it doesn't show up in the menu anymore...can someone tell me where the wine menu is located so I can delete everything in it, including the programs that I installed on it. [16:40] does anyone know how to solve any of these? [16:40] coz_ oh boy what have i gotten myself into here? === Guest32372 is now known as matthew1 [16:40] coz_: (no flame war please) but i've found on ubuntu on old)few years) hardware is incredibly sluggish my fastest was 9.04 56 seconds [16:41] aeon-ltd, understood [16:41] kostkon, yeah i get to click on an error link and doesnt crash. it doesnt matter. :) Instead do you know what to dod when the flashplugin in ff doesnt work? (but it works on all others epiphany,galeon,seamonkey) [16:41] I'm about to do some heavy development in C++, vb, java, and C# testing out programs... I suggested to another user to download monodevelop, if you are a programmer is that the best IDE to work in? === blocket is now known as blocky [16:41] anyone know how i can reinstall grub from a ubuntu 9.10 live disk? i tried "sudo grub" but it says that grub is not found; it appears grub is no available on the live disk [16:41] aeon-ltd your boot up? my system is circa 2002 and I wouldn't say it is that bad running 9.1 [16:41] (repeat, changed name) I have a weird problem. I deleted WINE and removed it from my main menu. When I reinstalled it, it doesn't show up in the menu anymore...can someone tell me where the wine menu is located so I can delete everything in it, including the programs that I installed on it. [16:41] calwig, hmm. not really [16:41] coz_: where did you get the idea that 9.10 is experimental? [16:41] pfred1, if it is already installed .. keep using it.... I am sure before april many of the things that are now ...ah....wanting for improvement...may be updated [16:41] pfred1: how fast? [16:41] zortec: for C# and Linux, perhaps it is. But I think Eclipse/Java beats it overall, if language can be changed. [16:41] Anyone did an upgrade of a jaunty system which is configured in an Active Directory environment? [16:42] aeon-ltd I never sat there with a stop watch but subjectively no more than anything else I've ever seen [16:42] alankila: I have used eclipse before, haven't tried out mono [16:42] I personally find monodevelop slow, crash-prone, and inadequate as IDE, although it beats a text editor for sure. [16:42] please help, I need to install Apache 2.0, but in synaptic there's only version 2.2 and if I check in the "force version" menu, it's only version 2.2 that is avaiable there... how can I install an older version?? [16:42] alankila: eclipse has so much that I often get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of features [16:42] still fighting with mount.... looks like i have copy protection at work here :( [16:42] calwig, maybe you'll need to manually copy the java plugin files to firefox's folder or something like that [16:42] pfred1: i'm on arch right now and boot time from on switch to desktop is 28-35 seconds [16:42] Anyone wanna help me????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [16:42] #mysql is sleeping, can i get some help with mysql here or any other room? [16:43] zortec: more features > less features, imo. If they don't force themselves upon you so you can pick them up in leisure. [16:43] Fitz11: sure. your problem is your question mark key is stuck. [16:43] fitz11: please no spam and yes [16:43] IdleOne, well first grub2 is beta.... and beta is always experimental....and in my opinion...a script driven boot loader is not even necessary...there are other things and karmic is certainly not my favorite of the versions already out there but I am not sure this is really the place for this :) [16:43] aeon-ltd might be twice that long I don't know but I usually don't boot up so it is moot to me [16:43] !patience | Fitz11 [16:43] Fitz11: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [16:43] HAHAHA Do u know about the dell mini 10v with ubuntu [16:43] kostkon, java? this is about flash. [16:43] kostkon, its ok dont matter anyway [16:43] pfred1: so you just suspend at night and wake in the morning? [16:44] why does my xorg.conf from ubuntu not work in other distros? [16:44] aeon-ltd I don't boot up my refrigerator when I wish a snack from it either :) [16:44] calwig, ah sorry, yeah you said flash. my bad [16:44] anyone mysql guy here? [16:44] aeon-ltd no i just turn off my monitor [16:44] mrXX: what kind of help you need? [16:44] is it wise to set the unhide option in fstab on a cd player? [16:44] aeon-ltd I've run computers like that for years now [16:44] pfred1: wow. whats your power bill like? [16:44] zortec i want to just know what info i get when i export a table structure [16:44] aeon-ltd a PC may add $6 a year [16:45] * buttons840 fears windows has screwed up his ubuntu partition when it tried to boot from it [16:45] zortec can i show you the copy paste [16:45] UBOTTu can u help me [16:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about can u help me [16:45] it depends what you choose to export under phpmyadmin which is what I generally use [16:45] pfred1: thats insane is this a micro-ATX you running? [16:45] me [16:45] bradpitt, But I need, get it to work with motion! :) This is the problem! [16:45] kaiforce: it's named TRIM and i think its a OS thing [16:45] aeon-ltd regular desktop [16:45] Fitz11: thats not how bots work [16:46] pfred1: no heavy tasks like 3d rendering or compiling? [16:46] aeon-ltd not when I am away usually no. [16:46] !ubottu help > Fitzll [16:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu help [16:46] zortec http://paste.ubuntu.com/328610/ [16:46] kostkon, no bads,you helped earlier on Java, its appreciated :) [16:46] anyway, imo, the largest problem about C# on Linux in practice is that all instructions you find are for windows and visual studio, and that means a very slow discovery process is necessary, often reading the class library source as the only real documentation. Mono has to be commended for being a reasonable C# and class library reimplementation, but in practice it's a world of pain to actually deal with it. [16:47] calwig, :) [16:47] zortec what is the difference of the 'email' between line 5 and 13 [16:47] alankila: so are you trying to say that developing in C# on linux is going to be painful and difficult? [16:47] Marove: looks like TRIM only affects old SSDs? [16:47] indeed, that has been my experience. [16:47] alankila: hopefully not the same for other languages such as java and visual basic [16:47] i mean the problem that TRIM addresses [16:47] can grub be installed from a ubuntu 9.10 live disk? With previous ubuntu disks you could "sudo grub" and quickly install only grub, but on the 9.10 disk it says "grub: command not found" [16:48] what is a good program to transcode a folder of files [16:48] buttons840: can't you install grub [16:48] then run it? [16:48] buttons840, no grub2 doesnt work that way you may want to go to #grub channel for more indepth info [16:48] zortec: I think that I can only recommend java from the managed world. Java on Linux is pretty good, and the same tools that people run on windows are generally available on linux, as it is overall much more platform neutral. You'll always hurt from using a fringe platform otherwise, but Java has only one platform, the "java platform". [16:49] wasutton: video files? handbrake. hands down. [16:49] coz_, is it more difficult than before? [16:49] anyone know how to install older version of package? [16:49] kaiforce: oh realy? my ssd is a new ssd.. ok i will check my local computer-expert ;) thank you for your help [16:49] it doesn't matter if the underlying OS is windows or linux, although OS X is not well supported for some unbelieveable reason. [16:49] buttons840: boot with that CD and use chroot [16:49] !grub2 | buttons840 [16:49] buttons840: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:49] randomuser: but can it add an entire folder at once? [16:49] Marove: ok, good luck. [16:49] buttons840, it is way different than grub legacy so in that respect it is a bit more difficult because of that [16:49] kaiforce: thank oyu [16:49] i need help i'm unable to ping to my new ubuntu laptop from my old ubuntu laptop through my wifi router [16:50] mrXX: there is no difference in the "email" fields in line 5 and 13 [16:50] mrXX: in line 5 you create a field called "email" and in line 13 you have set up an index for status_2 to use "email" [16:51] where can i find libgtk2.0-0? [16:51] openjdk, however, brings java 6 capabilities even to OS X so that works as a band-aid for the time being. OpenJDK is nearly as good as Sun Java, after all, it's based on the same code. However, OpenJDK hasn't seen any bugfixes since it was forked off from the java trunk and modified somehow for license reasons. [16:51] devede depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0); however: [16:51] mrXX: I do wonder about the structure of your database... and why there are so many keys in that table [16:51] ii'm not understanding (>= 2.16.0) [16:51] is there allready a 64bit 10.1 libflashplayer.so ? [16:51] alankila: is eclipse the best ide for java? [16:51] zortec i donno i just exported the table structure [16:52] alankila: on windows we used jbuilder and netbeans [16:52] trupheenix: Both machines get IP address? Can you ping router? [16:52] Subby: not yet but you can install flashplubin-nonfree, then swap out the .so file with the 10.1 one [16:52] zortec: that is a point of contention. I am satisfied with it, but many people can't stand it. One would need to experiment. [16:52] zortec for some reason in the view that i create, only ip works but not email [16:52] q0_0p, that might mean ...if you are compiling something...that you need to install the .dev pacakge for libgtk2 === lengend|sleep is now known as lengend|work [16:52] whoot java plugins! [16:52] coz_, cool thx [16:52] mrXX: I'm not sure what you're asking or trying to get help, could you tell me the question again? [16:52] q0_0p, if on gnome...go to system/adminstration/synaptic package maanger [16:52] hi, i have a problem with Firefox- when I start my ubuntu systea ,I dont have a problem at all with it or with any other app ... once i start to use firefox - it goes so slow ... any body can help? [16:53] Subby: the 10.0 native flash 64bit runs better as the 32bit one via nspluginwrapper isnt as slick [16:53] q0_0p, hit Search and type in ligtk2 [16:53] Iowan, yes both machines are able to ping the router [16:53] I do not know the tools well enough to say which would be best. I tried IDEA but that didn't work out for me, I kept on running into all sorts of silly issues all the time. [16:53] cmp: first guess would be a memory problem in firefox [16:53] q0_0p, there is a libgtk2.0-dev package there [16:53] coz_, cool [16:53] cmp: if you have a low ram system firefox is a bad choice as it sucks ram like pamela anderson in certain situations [16:53] I have a file DIR that's owned by "parliament:www-data" and my SVN Daemon is running as user 'www-data'. How to give the user www-data access to the DIR owned by "parliament:www-data" [16:53] - [16:53] dr4g: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:53] ActionParsnip: okay so there is no native 10.1 64 at the moment :) [16:53] alankila: I tried IDEA too and we didn't get along and eclipse is great if I don't want to spend an hour learning how to use it [16:53] Hello, I need to write a program/bash script to make every possible combination of charachters from a to ZZZZ. Can anyone help, or suggest an appropriate google search, Im struggling ;) [16:53] Flooding? :S [16:53] Subby: not yet but its proposed [16:54] kernel_geek: what is this bash script for? [16:54] trupheenix: Pinging by name or address (or both)? [16:54] zortec well i have a pommo mass email software and it sees in the database to get the email add and all info(this is the structure of that table which pommo looks into) [16:54] ActionParsnip: okay, thanks [16:54] zortec, actionparsnip, how can i fix this problem - allthough iam having 2G ram ? [16:54] Iowan, ping by ip address [16:54] trupheenix: I had the same problem, but that was a network configuration problem now first router as real router and Wifi router configured as switch now [16:54] OK [16:54] zortec does it make sense to you up to now? [16:54] cmp: after its ran, run: free -m; sleep 20; top [16:54] mrXX: sort of, I'm not familiar with pommo mass software [16:54] cmp, do you have loads of toolbars like google toolbar and such? [16:54] q0_0p, and when compiling anythingi that requires development pacakges or other libraries ...it is usually safer to go into synaptic to find those dependencies...with the histroy option in synaptic...it makes it easier to remove those pacakges if they fail or screw something up [16:54] zortec: To generate passwords.... Dont worry my server lol, just trying to tighten securety [16:54] cmp: you will see your ram use then how the system is running and what is chewing your system [16:55] zortec so what i m creating is a view of that table so that i dont have to import all email from another database [16:55] !list [16:55] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:55] coz_, was trying to install devede using a deb but it telling me dependency problems [16:55] q0_0p, are you installing with the terminal? [16:55] mrXX: you should use a gui interface like phpmyadmin if you are not and make sure that you export only what you need in the export tab [16:55] coz_, yes [16:55] jimi_neutral, i dont have [16:55] cmp: how much ram is firefox using?

[16:57] and what next zortec? [16:57] coz_, sudo apt-get -f install is dangerous [16:57] cmp, ok just a thought, try actionparsnips command to help you see what memory is being used [16:57] coz_, it might remove things u dont want to get removed [16:57] q0_0p, no not generally and I have never had issues with t hat [16:57] KelderP, I see it I have enabled AP isolation so that means each of my wifi clients has it's own Virtual Private Network. so they cannot see each other. DOH!!! [16:57] coz_, i just did aptitude install gtk2 [16:57] q0_0p: not if you install a deb and need its deps, opera is a classic example here [16:57] cmp: there is also the top command which I forgot [16:58] Is there some way to tell what each of my four CPU's are doing? Like in top where you can see what CPU a process was last on, can I get that backwards and see for each processor, what process was last running? [16:58] what is top command zortec,? [16:58] zortec: there is system monitor in menu's [16:58] hi, i'm having trouble with the adobe firefox plugins [16:58] q0_0p, mm I never use apititude only apt-get here so I may not be the best to discuss that [16:58] if you prefer a gui solution, check out gnome-system-monitor [16:58] cmp: top is a command [16:58] iam very new in this zortec,? [16:58] and i'm not sure how to nuke them all and re-install [16:58] cmp: run it in a terminal [16:58] q0_0p, but a sudo apt-get install -f has never been dangerous on this end [16:58] be right back have to move the car [16:59] trupheenix: Fixed already? Congrats! [16:59] ok i done it actionparsnip , what else i need to do ? [16:59] cmp: basically top will show you all the processes and you can page through them to see which one is using the most ram [17:00] cmp: do you have addons installed in firefox? should have checked that out first [17:00] cmp: just watch top, see whats making stuff run slow [17:00] cmp: I would try this, run an instance of firefox with no addons and check mem usage [17:00] zortec: Just press M and top will sort by memory, descending.

Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:13] There is no root password. You can change the password for the user account [17:14] but that is all I can think of [17:14] BRB [17:14] zortec, random fact - gdm doesn't disable root logins in Karmic!

[17:16] do they have remote programs to help users? :) [17:16] thanks lab [17:16] so is it possible to have the login password different from sudo password? [17:16] I know some users would feel unsafe about that, but still thought I'd ask [17:16] zortec: ssh, vnc [17:17] Guest32073: yes [17:17] Guest32073: yes that is possible [17:17] how do i do it? [17:17] How can I make the 1 TB partition of my external drive a bit smaller without destroying the data one it (ReiserFS) - is there a software for that? [17:17] how can i set the locale to be something else, dpkg-reconfigure locales didn't do what i hoped for [17:17] zortec, i copied what you gave me here - and it opened a window of firefox [17:18] rapha: if all the partitions are unmounted, you can use gparted to resize [17:18] jwm1: no prob, although I'm still looking for a better way [17:18] Guest32073: Can't say... [17:18] incorrect: did you try the setlocale command? [17:18] rapha: make sure any data is backed up in case of catastophe [17:18] why?

If it's gone then it's gone. [17:18] how? [17:19] DrRobinTosh: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [17:19] ah. how do i start up in command mode? [17:19] DrRobinTosh: sudo apt-get --purge remove x11-common xorg if you dont want any more desktop, gui apps [17:19] ActionParsnip: what is --purge do? [17:19] rapha: then what if the devices motor suddenly failed. where is your data then? [17:20] jwm1: actually I just missed, it... so lspci will report your card. It's shorter than the other way, so I'd recommend it. [17:20] What is the command to use to find a file (search the filesystem) [17:20] ? [17:20] zortec, purge configuration [17:20] zortec, from /etc [17:20] scream: find? [17:20] scream: find /path -name file [17:20] scream, find, locate [17:20] zortec: gets rid of all the confog for the package (outside of $HOME) so if you reinstall you will get vanilla configs [17:20] hello can someone tell me how to recover my fspot database after karmic upgrade? it's gone!

[17:21] zortec: to remove run: sudo dpkg -P packagename [17:21] i understood [17:21] from the menu [17:22] jwm1: use the terminal: type lspci at the prompt [17:22] cmp: I'm not sure where you're at, do you have a terminal window open? [17:22] cmp: you can't just be saying my name and not give me any idea of what you have done :) [17:22] ibuclaw: there are latent config files in /etc etc which are not removed in a normal remove --purge removes them [17:22] ActionParsnip: doesn't that depend on the package was built and installed?

When the partition is mounted I can understand that it can't be modified, but when I unmount it then gparted complains that it can't read the data in the partition... [17:24] cmp: with the terminal window open, check your mem usage of firefox and see if it was a problem with one of the addons? [17:24] roy_1, initial login? with some difficulty. ;) [17:24] jwm1: right. well, unfortunately I have no experience with that card. But the trick is to find out if it has a gui frontend to change settings. You can do this through software center under Applications, or through Synaptic under System>Administration [17:25] ibuclaw: How? [17:25] cmp: so what you are doing is comparing when you had firefox open with addons running and firefox open with no addons [17:25] rapha: sure, a disk is a disk [17:25] hi folks can anyone help me with fspot problem? my db has disappeared after upgrading to karmic [17:25] rapha: you dont use gparted to read the data, you use it to resize the partition [17:25] so a GUI for an ATI controller?

It gives you a window to use, instead of a terminal. [17:26] roy_1, haven't had a chance to test it yet. But for the sound as you are "Logging Into" your account, you go into Sound Properties.

[19:19] ben64_: define it in /etc/resolv.conf [19:19] so he'll be thrown into ubuntu head first. [19:20] llutz, or just remove the request for dns servers, and edit resolv.conf and it won't be replaced by the network manager? [19:20] mzawieska, ok, do "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" [19:20] is there a way to control cd-rom drive speed in ubuntu? [19:20] shankao, thanks i think it was the max number of conections by second in each torrent. now it is ok. i guess :) [19:20] rickybobby, he probly won't miss it after a few days on linux , unless he's a gamer [19:20] Supersaiyan_IV, okay second [19:20] my drive is very loud and reads at 48x... so I want to reduce the speed [19:20] noelferreira, you're welcome [19:20] robin0800: i am used to using the command line for getting my apps, and am not familiar with synaptic, so i am not sure where to look for restricted extras [19:20] crud :/ [19:21] ben64_: should work,maybe consider to use "supersede d-n-s" [19:21] noelferriera, I just ignore the problem - doesn't bother me that much anyway [19:21] BluesKaj, he plays his xbox 360 and.. hosts poker games at his house.. thats about it afaik.. think i should rearrange the panels to be more windows-esq ?

I don't have ubuntu one installed, still have the old login screen and boot screens, etc. [19:27] llutz: I just checked, it was /dev/sda3 [19:27] mzawieska, so recovery mode has the same problem?

Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop. [19:37] 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty. [19:37] 3. Type "grub" [19:37] 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).

[19:39] any idea why ubuntu doesnt let me stretch my display across both my monitors? xrandr sees both. http://pastebin.com/f7f2c99ca [19:39] llutz: it rewrote grub to the mbr and then did some other stuff [19:39] then it auto-unlocks whenever you login.

[19:41] ibuclaw, what I mean, is I get disconnected from my network, momentarily, then it asks me to enter the wireless key, which is saved in gnome-keyring and gnome-nm-applet, why doesnt it default to the saved values? [19:42] zortec: no, quit [19:42] llutz: it kicked me out of the window or somehow I changed to a different terminal [19:42] also, i have xubuntu 9.04 installed right now, and if i allow it to update to the 9.10 kernel, i cant log in. any suggestions?

[20:08] ibuclaw, doin it sir :P [20:08] llutz: i am not entirely certain what happens when a system swaps i assume it writes info to the hard drive to access later [20:08] yoshilappi: create a partition on pendrive, type 82, [20:08] nilo_: install pulseaudio [20:08] mkverc, “Debian” and the Debian Logo are trademarks of Software in the Public Interest, Inc. [20:08] hi, i have ubuntu 9.10 and an epson aculaser cx11nf. i followed http://www.gedda.info/?p=132 and i can add the printer in the printer configuration dialog, but then there's a message it can't find a driver ("Printer 'AL-CX11-' requires the 'pstoalcx11.sh' program but it is not currently installed. Please install it before using this printer.). where do i need to add it? [20:09] greezmunkey, its like when it makes this noise the laptop get hotter... and what is making it hot, i only have FF and Xchat open === sgallinger is now known as c [20:09] i've solved that problem by linking pstoalcx11.sh to /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin. now the error message has gone, but printing a test page fails. any idea what might be wrong? [20:09] yoshilappi: sudo mkswap /dev/sdXY (your new swap partition) === c is now known as sgallinger [20:09] Guys, I'm really not happy with pulseaudio since upgrading to Karmic. It's not performing as well as Alsa...is there any way to go back to ALSA audio? [20:09] ibuclaw, i will tell u when everything will loads okay [20:09] mkverc, I suppose that means copyright them - if you are not representing them by using their logo/name, don't use it. [20:09] yoshilappi: make an entry in /etc/fstab, sudo swapon -a [20:09] mikebeecham, i just seem to have an audio outage here too [20:09] yoshilappi: that's it [20:10] yoshilappi: but still not a good idea [20:10] llutz: thanks [20:10] deuterium: if you know where the driver is.. then use FF and go to http://localhost:631 and add it there. [20:10] Is anyone interested in buying my Steam account? I currently gave it to my sister as I couldn't really find any buyers in the past: http://steamcommunity.com/id/dlphinez, it's just sitting there idle now. [20:10] deuterium: even volume up/down is not as responsive [20:10] FredWP: Peaes don't advertise here, thanks. [20:10] mikebeecham, is pulseaudio the default? [20:10] Scunizi, let me try this, thanks! [20:10] deuterium: yes, as of Karmic [20:10] llutz: ok possibly a better idea then how do i access the stuff on my windows if i installed ubuntu via wubi? [20:10] :3 [20:10] yoshilappi: if you need swap on regular base, you _should_ buy more RAM. Thats the only solution [20:10] mikebeecham, hm. [20:11] Was just wondering Flannel. [20:11] I wouldn't know where to turn for this kind of stuff. [20:11] yoshilappi: no idea about that [20:11] FredWP: #ubuntu-offtopic would be more appropriate [20:11] Thanks. [20:11] #spam would be more appropriate [20:11] I'll try that too. :3 [20:11] Scunizi, btw it looks like the drivers are recognized now, yet printing fails. any idea how i can debug cups? [20:12] ibuclaw, oki i am in the live cd boss [20:12] livingdaylight, type top in a terminal, is your cpu running at 100% constantly? [20:12] ibuclaw, what should i do now [20:12] deuterium: is this a networked printer via ethernet? [20:12] mzawieska, go to GParted again. [20:12] mzawieska, and say what is listed there. === crunchbang is now known as Guest29869 [20:12] ibuclaw, it says no deviced listed [20:13] Scunizi, yes, on 192.168.1.7 [20:13] hmm [20:13] mzawieska, can you open a terminal then [20:13] ibuclaw: it is mistakenly used the word "Debian" in the username ... this username is difficult to change ... ask to have no problems in the future [20:13] ibuclaw, i dont understand but when i check the disk it said it was no error [20:13] deuterium: can you ping it? or log into it's webserver interface? [20:13] hello everybody [20:13] ibuclaw, i am in terminal [20:14] mzawieska, type in: sudo fdisk -l [20:14] Scunizi, yes, that works [20:14] ibuclawibuclaw: can use a username ... or not legal? [20:14] deuterium: did you also set it up as a static ip address? [20:14] buaaaaa, please any idea, I lost sound after upgrade ubuntu 9.10 [20:14] greezmunkey, looks like FF was trying to cook my laptop. I didn't know it was such a crap browser [20:14] nothing done [20:14] mzawieska, are you able to put what it outputs into http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [20:14] ibuclaw, nothing showed [20:15] deuterium, Scunizi, perhaps it needs port 9100, like a jetdirect interface??? [20:15] i've a bootable usb hard-disk with a /boot partition (100mb) and a /home partition (100gb).. i want to avoid automounting of the first partition when i attach my hard-disk to an ubuntu/linux pc [20:15] i would like to ask, how many people have used a modline from gtf or cvt to get their screen resolution to work correctly? [20:15] is it possibile? [20:15] Scunizi, it gets assigned a static ip (192.168.1.7) from my router/access point, yes. === csurbhi is now known as csurbhi-afk [20:15] greezmunkey, Scunizi: in the printer properties i have socket://192.168.1.7:9100 [20:16] deuterium, cool! [20:16] mzawieska, you mean it looks like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/328768/plain/ [20:16] greezmunkey, but i can't print a test page using the properties dialog box [20:16] livingdaylight, I have FF up, cpu is around 10-20% [20:16] mzawieska, in your terminal when you run it. [20:16] ibuclaw, correct [20:16] greezmunkey, on laptop? [20:16] deuterium: if it's asssigned an address from the router then it's not static.. to make it static you have to manually enter an IP and the gateway address.. at any rate you say socket.. does that mean you set the driver as an ipp driver? [20:16] deuterium, no firewall? [20:17] livingdaylight, Dell Latitude [20:17] greezmunkey, i think flash makes FF go crazy [20:17] mzawieska, ok, reboot into BIOS configuration. [20:17] ibuclaw, u know what i did, i plugged in my usb to the port and gparted showed me the disk [20:17] hello everybody, does anyone know how to install fingerprint reader on a Dell laptop? I tried to install thinkfinger-tools and libpam-thinkfinger, but that did not work. Any suggestions? [20:17] Scunizi, oh true. i've set up the ip on the printer interface itself. so, it's definitely static. [20:17] I've lost sound after upgrade in ubuntu 9.10, it changed kernel 2.6.31.- to 2.6.31-15 and pulse-audio libraries [20:17] please help meeeee [20:18] ibuclaw, want me to reboot? [20:18] deuterium: and the rest of the machines in the house .. are their ip address something like 192.168,1,100+ ? [20:18] greezmunkey, on the router/access point yes. but that's for down/upstream traffic only. will test telnet to 9100, though. mompl. [20:18] mzawieska, reboot into BIOS config, yes. It looks like your internal drive is not detected. [20:19] mzawieska, is either no power, dead, or disconnected. [20:19] nilo_: plop! http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html [20:19] rebooting into BIOS will confirm whether or not the hard drive is detected. [20:19] Scunizi, yes, the box i'm on at the moment has 192.168.1.110 [20:19] grrr seems i cant add the wine repo [20:20] ibuclaw, its seems like it cause when i plug in usb external it showed me in gparted the usb disk [20:20] Hello. I just performed a clean install of Ubuntu on another computer last night, and when I installed edubuntu (after applying all of the package upadates), I can't login after a reboot. [20:20] I logon, and I get the Ubuntu logo and the logon loading thing, and then it bumps me right back to the logon screen [20:20] ibuclaw, from bios where should i go [20:20] deuterium: so when you go through the cups interface.. is it set for lpt, ipp or other for the type of protocol that the driver should use? [20:20] i just want a partition to don't automount... there is any way? [20:21] mzawieska, does the main screen not tell you what hard drives are detected? [20:21] deuterium, in a console try "lpinfo -v" what do you get? [20:21] along with clock, RAM, etc/ [20:22] anyone know how to access the files on windows if you installed ubuntu via wubi? [20:22] hi, Who is on the dev team for xorg with ubuntu [20:22] yoshilappi: restart and it should be in the boot menu [20:22] ping [20:22] ibuclaw, its not showing disk just mmodel product system board Id service processor processor speed total memory bios version serial number UUID i system factored installed [20:22] relentless: yes it is but i wanna access those files while on ubuntu [20:22] lore20: controlled with auto.master?

Because firefox ios not working [20:24] ibuclaw, when i click it it shows No IDE device [20:24] epinky: no [20:24] hello?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:25] yes the iso ;)\ [20:25] mzawieska, it may be better for an engineer to have a look at it - or someone who is comfortable with opening/checking that hard drive cables are in correct. [20:25] hi... I'm here to sell you some old people... I'm an auctioneir! (or however you spell that!) [20:26] relentless dont have a cd handy heh hence the wubi install cause i could use a daemon to run the iso and install ubuntu [20:26] Iforgot where is the sorg.conf [20:26] *xorg.conf [20:26] deuterium: just the address without /admin sould work.. add the printer again through that interface.. the second page is for "Device" this is where you choose the type of connection.. some printers like the Brother's require some extra hoops which include setting the printer to print to lpt but then there is a brother link that translates that to ipp or something else.. Canon may have docs on their site about that or some other way to set it up.. if it's ca [20:26] epinky: yes.. it's in mtab [20:26] Can somone give me the ubuntu is for wget, my firefox is not working and i need to burn it [20:26] mzawieska, and in the last resort - swapping the hard drive for another.

[21:14] munley, OK IT FAILED, GO AWAY NOW :) [21:14] 'm off to partition a 1.5 tb drive and installing! :D Thanks, guys :) [21:14] turned out you have to be a PRO to know all those Terminal COMMANDS [21:14] angelus, i use the mplayer plugin, haven't had issues with it [21:14] I admitted that I am very stupid [21:14] deserteagle, I am confused on the x11 stuff. is x11 just kind of like vnc or some sort of screen sharing [21:14] thanks deserteagle i'll try that [21:14] I am not smart to learn all those complex commands [21:14] thank you, reading its page on the launchpad... [21:14] gdiz x11 is the program that displays stuff, essentially [21:15] NOT because I am lazy!! but becasue that's computer's job, not my job [21:15] munley, use a MAC [21:15] or windows [21:15] linux is NOT for you [21:15] it says " Permission DENY" [21:15] gdiz you were not really clear on what problem you are trying to solve. can you elaborate once more please? [21:15] deserteagle, does it display stuff on the client computer or on the server computer [21:15] linux is for people who don't mind spending HOURS trying to get something to work [21:15] hrm [21:15] gdiz, huh? o.O [21:15] Is there someway to connect my Logitech Webcam in Ubuntu ? [21:15] it says " You are not the onwner " so so funny, then who is using the computer now????? [21:15] !xrandr | DryGrain [21:15] DryGrain, please see my private message [21:15] gdiz it'll display on which ever PC it's running on [21:16] i'm in the right place for this kind of doubts ? :) [21:16] drart: yup, check the forums [21:16] I ran apt-get update and upgrade yesterday... and now rkhunter is throwing a warning for sulogin, adduser, and last. Why? I'm pretty sure it started doing this after the apt-get update and upgrade... [21:16] it says " You are NOT the owner so you cannot copy files / delete files:" So so so so funny [21:16] hi :) [21:16] drart, it should be plug and play unless you've modified the install [21:16] Who is the person log in with correct password and using the Ubuntu now????? [21:16] munley, log in as root [21:16] i'm adding munley to my ignore list, forget him [21:16] and Ubuntu just won't let you!!! damn!!! YES I tried root tooo [21:17] sudo su [21:17] DryGrain: as far as I remember correctly, Ubuntu doesn't allow to *lo gin* as root :) [21:17] i just wanted to tell the dev team that everytime i use the live cd it resets my system clock to GMT (i live in australia) where should i do that? [21:17] AMorozov -> wrong .. [21:17] So he should use sudo bash :) [21:17] i even try kgesomeshit Nautilus [21:17] well you can sudo su to get root [21:17] says it will give you FULLY POWER to do whatever you want, it is LIE [21:17] sure [21:18] LIE LIE LIE [21:18] i have a shortcut to a root terminal [21:18] munley stop trolling [21:18] do you need help or do you want to yell and froth at the mouth [21:18] sad...... [21:18] o_O? i added munley to ignore list, yet i still see his chat [21:18] hes hacking you deserteagle [21:18] spent those hours jsut to copy a file, and it failed [21:18] :/ [21:18] DryGrain, munley "sudo -i" is the Ubuntu way to get a root terminal FYI [21:18] ah! there we go [21:19] muuuch more quiet [21:19] i did sudo -i [21:19] I did everything I google [21:19] Anyone know why the gstreamer-ffmpeg in the repos doesn't have mpeg4 support? [21:19] did you know, google invent: gsudo ;} [21:19] I even let a us very nice young man to log in to my PC, it failed [21:19] so anyways, anyone here used the scrobbler plugin for xmms/audacious? [21:19] a very pro US young man [21:19] Hi. Is it Ubuntu channel? [21:20] dan45, yup [21:20] he is pro but he is busy, he can't be out there help me all day [21:20] hi all [21:20] dan45, yeap [21:20] hello! [21:20] everybody got jobs to do [21:20] munley: if you're using nautilus you won't be using kdesudo.. [21:20] n8tuser, okay here is what I am trying to achieve (sorry for the confusion), I have an ubuntu box hooked up to my TV. I also have a macbook pro with os x. Now, I want to use the ubuntu box (in part) as a media center that I can remotely control with my macbook pro. So, I know how to use vnc. But, I'd really like to just have some way that I can use shell scripts to control hulu on the ubuntu box to be a little more minimal. does [21:20] Hi... I need a private chat help, regards partitioning Ubuntu before install [21:20] munley: also if the drive mounted as read only you will not be able to write to it regardless of what you do. you would need to remount it with mount permissions [21:20] gdiz, ooooh i get it now [21:20] I try evyerthing I could to ...... just [21:21] I am so tried [21:21] munley: take it easy man [21:21] gdiz, what you need is: x11vnc [21:21] Did you people read this page yet??? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1177336 [21:21] I ran apt-get update and upgrade yesterday... and now rkhunter is throwing a warning for sulogin, adduser, and last. Why? I'm pretty sure it started doing this after the apt-get update and upgrade... [21:21] You must understand, FAT16 / 32 can't handle any file over 4GB [21:21] deserteagle, what is that? [21:22] gdiz, first: log onto ubuntu box through ssh. second: launch x11vnc. third: launch a vnc viewer from your macbook and log in to the ubuntu box [21:22] so I partitions it as GPT and APT once, and try go get a file which is 4.2GB on Ubuntu [21:22] gdiz, easy as heck, i do it all the time [21:22] Ubuntu just won't let you copy [21:22] gdiz yes you can use ssh to log in an control the remote ubuntu, once logged in, you can use scripts to control the ubuntu [21:22] I have a 500GB HDD, how to partition it properly, and do I need to make all 5 separate partitions? [21:22] I am very sure it's NOT read ONLY [21:22] dan45: nope [21:23] or why else I could copy the same USB back and forth? [21:23] dan45, is this a desktop or a server [21:23] dan45, bare minimum is 3 partitions [21:23] it's all aobut the permission things [21:23] desktop [21:23] i need some help with STL map. I get the following error: http://codepad.org/nITMuVFS [21:23] munley, instead of "chmod u+rw /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD" use "chmod ugo+rw /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD" [21:23] ...2 users [21:23] minimum is one partition [21:23] dan45, /boot, / and swap [21:23] deserteagle, I can do the vnc thing from my macbook pro. But, I would really like to write an applescript that does a shell script along the lines of "ssh ubuntubox run firefox and open hulu webpage in fullscreen" [21:23] if Ubuntu is what it says to be, for common people to use, for oridional people to use, why make it so difficult to copy a file??? [21:23] munley, actually correction! use "chmod u+rwx /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD" [21:23] gdiz, i see... let me think [21:24] okay, I will try [21:24] Can I get help on a logon problem? [21:24] hello, all. i am trying to make my broadcom card work, does anybody know what the broadcom driver is called in 9.04? [21:24] anyone own a HP Laptop T4300? [21:24] munley, sorry !! mistake #2 use this one "chmod ugo+rwx /media/iomega/Iomega\ HDD" [21:24] what is the module called that is [21:24] not iomega [21:25] deserteagle: On https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/amd64/apcs03.html I can't find an info what's /boot [21:25] ahem, name of broadcom driver? [21:25] munley, where is it mounted right now? type "mount" in a terminal if you don't know [21:25] chmod: cannot access `/media/16gb': No such file or directory [21:25] I have a screen resolution problem. I only get 600x800 as highest resolution, but I can add more resolutions via terminal. In the user Display GUI there si no option for higher than 600x800, even after I change it higher manually. I edited xorg.config file to detect the resolutions but no luck. Ive seen other people with this problem. I have to change resolutions with 5 lines of code in terminal each time I log in. HELP! [21:25] gdiz, opening the ssh tunnel and launching ff to hulu shouldn't be a problem, as to the fullscreen thing, maybe it's an option when launching ff? [21:26] dan45, it's the first partition of the harddrive [21:26] Are these messages even getting through? [21:26] dan45, it'll be what the program that starts ubuntu sees first.... as a matter of fact, the only thing [21:27] vistro, yes, they're getting through, however i don't know the solution to your problem and am busy helping someone else [21:27] gdiz yes you can use ssh to log in an control the remote ubuntu, once logged in, you can use scripts to control the ubuntu <-- have you done this ? [21:27] eremite: you may put all suitable resolutions right into /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:27] how do i do array indexing on a map if its a pointer? myMap[5] = "hi" but if myMap is a pointer it doesn't work [21:27] Is there a program that I give him plain text and it gives me ASCII coded draw ? [21:27] deserteagle, maybe...I read on the hulu webpage that if you type certain things it goes into fullscreen or pauses or whatever [21:27] i wouldn't be surprised [21:28] i gtg, but definitely check out xkeyboard [21:28] eremite, is there horizontal and vertical refresh ranges specified in your xorg.conf ? [21:28] vistro: try asking your question in full, then if any one can answer they will. [21:28] I have three harddrives on this machine, each of which has ubuntu. I think they are sda, sdb and sdc .... I'm about to reformat and go over the entire sdb dirve with an ext4 and a swap partition ... it says that the swap drives on sda and sdc are going to be formatted even thohugh I specified only partitions on sdb to be formatted. [21:28] this is normal and okay? [21:28] gdiz, i know for a fact it lets you emulate keystrokes from the command line (from ssh) [21:28] eremite: it's a bit "hardcore" way nowadays, but it still works if possible resolutions autodetection doesn't work for your hardware... [21:28] skyl nope [21:28] helolo? [21:28] n8tuser, I can log into the computer via ssh and do things via ssh, but I have absolutely no idea how to interact with the gui that way [21:28] deserteagle, on some video tutorial, some guy (Alan Pope) made such with 42GB HDD: / = 10GB, /home = 30GB, swap = 2GB... is it right? [21:28] hello too [21:28] After patching up Ubuntu, and Installing Edubuntu-desktop, when a user is created, it gets one login. Then it's useless [21:28] It acts like it will log in, but it goes right back to the logon scren [21:29] gdiz, gui works across ssh [21:29] may i ask a question? [21:29] gdiz: log in using the -X flag, lets you start gui aps remotely [21:29] the best I can do is a terminal by using xterm session [21:29] .xsession-errors does not tell anything useful [21:29] zykotick9 [21:29] msg [21:29] gdiz its the hulu running on ubuntu your trying to control. ..dont know hulu, so find out which scripting they use [21:29] DjAngo23, http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso [21:29] hello?

[21:29] nice channel [21:29] great chat [21:29] zykotick9, guide me if you would [21:29] hi there [21:29] hello [21:30] hi [21:30] anyone going to respond? [21:30] Wandaround: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:30] dan45 -> are you willing to pay? [21:30] yeah but I think if I can make it imitate a keystroke in the gui (like type f in firefox) that will put it in fullscreen [21:30] what do I do? [21:30] not flooding just trying to get a response [21:30] gdiz: generally you can export DISPLAY=:0.0 or whatever the display of your logged in user is, but as of karmic you need to set XAUTHORITY too because it has moved from the default location of ~/.Xauthority [21:30] Wanderer: What would you like [21:30] munley, you need to know what the mount point of your drive is. in a terminal type "mount" [21:30] i just wanted to tell the dev team that everytime i use the live cd it resets my system clock to GMT (i live in australia) where should i do that? [21:30] My USB is partitioned and formated by Mac with GPT and HPS+ [21:30] Ubuntu can read files from it, but cannot copy files into it [21:31] Wandaround: if the bots say your flooding, your flooding. You should perhaps try in #ubuntu-devs, thats where they hang out. [21:31] swap should be a primaryy partition? [21:31] What do I do??? [21:31] hey everyone, I am really new to ubuntu and unix so could you explain things like you are talking to a 3 year old... :-) [21:31] munley:use fat on usb sticks like every one else ? [21:31] but of course nobody has an answer to this problem... perhaps these releases need a tad more testing before they are commited [21:31] what? [21:31] hola [21:31] xD [21:31] thank you very much jeruvy :) [21:31] /dev/sda4 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [21:31] proc on /proc type proc (rw) [21:31] none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [21:31] none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) [21:31] none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) [21:31] munley: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:31] none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) [21:31] gdiz go to your room and drink your milk.. hehehe [21:31] munley, ya - i'm not surprised and using Unix chmod is NOT going to help you. switch to FAT/NTFS or better yet EXT3/4. Best of luck man. [21:31] munley: are you sure that it has support for writing HFS+ filesystem? [21:31] n8tuser :-p [21:31] skyl: yes, it's better [21:32] gdiz, what do u want to know [21:32] errrr that channel is empty, next guess? [21:32] location for new partition, beginning or end [21:32] gdiz scripting is not for 3 year olds [21:32] ZykoticK9: probably ext* and NTFS isn't a best filesystem for a flash drive [21:32] I'm using the whole drive for 1 ext4 and 1 swap [21:32] skyl: doesnt really matter [21:32] Zykotick9 AMorozow : you don't understanbd, I need to copy files between Mac and Ubuntu [21:32] Wandaround: sorry #ubuntu-dev [21:32] munley: I do understand. [21:32] skyl: most systems hardly use swap these days, desktops that is [21:32] acicula, i can set them both to beginning? [21:32] n8tuser, I lied, I know a little more than that, I can do some basic stuff [21:32] ah thats it :) [21:32] Then why woulndn't ubuntu let me? [21:33] thanks very much! [21:33] I simply do not know if ubuntu (and Linux as whole) has support for writing files to HFS+ [21:33] skyl: well they cant be in the same place [21:33] indeed, never swap! that's my motto [21:33] gdiz: before karmic through ssh you could just run a command like DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox www.hulu.com through ssh and firefox would launch on the other display, but since .Xauthority is now located in /var/run/gdm/something-yourusername/database you have to do a bit more work [21:33] How do I make a user last for more than 1 logon? [21:33] they cant read HFS [21:33] gdiz right, so figure out how to script hulu .. dont know if it uses bash, python, javascript or what not.. so you need to dig up what it uses [21:33] Are accounts on Ubuntu supposed to be disposable? [21:33] AMorozov, ya - once i saw he was using Mac i just through out all the "reasonable" posibilities (and i think FAT/NTFS would "probably" be better for Mac interoperability then ext3/4) [21:33] so I can make my ext4, beginning and my swap end .. should be good? [21:33] I cannot use FAT32, because a 4.2GB file cannot be save on my 16GB USB stick [21:33] Amorozov [21:34] use ntfs [21:34] or NFS [21:34] vistro, "make a user last" does not compute ... maybe Dong Chong Xia Tsou? [21:34] Zykotick9 AMorozow : the problem is, the partition ways of Ubuntu is not standard [21:34] I am so fed up with this [21:34] How do I make a user that will work for more than one logon? [21:35] munley drop the attitude please, you dont know what you are mumbling about [21:35] hacknslash, what I am trying to do is log in via ssh to an ubuntu box (I can do that part), run a shell script that basically tells the ubuntu box to open firefox, navigate to hulu or youtube, and play a video (I think I can make firefox play a video if I can imitate keystrokes, ie. type "f" in firefox) [21:35] vistro: they should be that way by default :| [21:35] gdiz: my solution was to add xterm -c xauth extract $HOME/.Xauthority $DISPLAY to System/Preferences/Startup Applications, and then it is automatically copied back to .Xauthority when you log in, and you can use just set the display and launch things through ssh [21:35] n8tuser, okay, I'll go do my homework and see what I find out [21:35] vistro: Can you check passwd file to see if users are there [21:35] n8tuser, nope, you don't know what ubuntu is really about [21:36] as I said, computer is supposed to help people, not blocking people [21:36] !ops | munley [21:36] munley: Help!

[21:36] gdiz, try reading up about curl [21:36] munley: why don't you use network file copying (scp, sftp) ? [21:36] Oh, they are there, and I cna log in to them, without authentication faulure, but it acts like it will log in, and then it puts me right back into the logoon screen. this is after installing edubuntu and patching the system [21:36] munley: or you can copy over the network [21:36] hello, I have severe problems with network manager and dsl on Karmic, could please, please anyone help me [21:36] sdb1 is /, sdb2 is swap ... / is set to format ... but then it says that partition #5 of SCSI5, sda as swap will be formatted [21:37] ............ [21:37] egle what have you done so far? [21:37] and sdc partition #5 too [21:37] munley: if you want to use a USB drive, format it as NTFS [21:37] "as swap" [21:37] munley: that's supported by both Ubuntu and OS X (via NTFS-3g) [21:37] NTFS is windows [21:37] I don't use windows [21:37] munley: that doesn't matter. the only other option is FAT32 [21:37] windows is a joke [21:37] munley: you don't need windows. [21:37] removing edubuntu-desktop and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop didn't help a bit [21:38] munley: No, it's an operating system. [21:38] I was trying to connect dsl using pppoeconf, no luck, now all my prefs on networkmanager has gone, it says I have no control on device [21:38] as I say million times, FAT32 doesn't support 4gb [21:38] munley: install ntfsprogs and you will be able to create ntfs filesystems [21:38] Hey everyone. I'm trying to fix the root partition using fsck. But how can I safely scan (and fix) when I'm booted into Ubuntu? ... I'm looking on google atm but I can't find anything ... I'm looking for a way to mount / read-only ... [21:38] as I say million times, FAT32 doesn't support 4gb file, my flie happend to be 4.2GBBBBBB [21:38] anyone know about PGP? [21:38] n8tuser, I was trying to connect dsl using pppoeconf, no luck, now all my prefs on networkmanager has gone, it says I have no control on device [21:38] munley: which is why you need to use NTFS! :P [21:38] trism, I am a little confused, what does that command achieve and what does xauthority refer to [21:38] Why is this happening to me???? [21:38] Chousuke: I'm pretty sure ext3 works on Mac... as it's based on Unix. [21:38] egle: Did something get put in /etc/network/interfaces? [21:38] jpds: it doesn't. [21:39] sdc5 and sda5 are already swap ... I guess it doesn't hurt if the install disk wants to reformat them? [21:39] munley: is the usb device mounted in rw mode or just r? [21:39] egle why pppoe ? any other alternatives? whats is your dsl modem/router? [21:39] jpds: or well. ext2 does. with an external driver [21:39] Anyone notice since latest updates for Lucid that their image transparency is broke? [21:39] acicula, how to know rw or r???? [21:39] munley: then use ext2/3/4 .. mac reads those fs's no problem [21:39] Iowan, I dont know [21:39] It could be the intel drivers though. [21:39] Hi, anyone know pgp? [21:39] munley: type mount and look for the line [21:39] bastidrazor: only ext3/2 [21:39] Juzman: ask in #ubuntu+1 for lucid thanks. [21:39] Hello! Any way to ALT TAB and Drag&Drop?? [21:39] n8tuser, no, there's no other alternative this time [21:39] bastidrazor: ext4 is not necessarily backwards-compatbile [21:39] compatible* [21:39] acicula... please wait [21:39] munley:http://www.ubuntuproductivity.com/journal/macintosh/08/2009/readwrite-to-hfs-on-ubuntu/ ?

[21:40] slow down [21:40] oh, HFS will do as well it seems. Last time I checked, it wasn't read/write on Linux [21:40] Jeruvy: My bad. [21:40] I guess it is now. [21:40] Hi there, Im on Kubuntu 9.10, my dad is on the other side of the world on ubuntu 8.10.. I want to help him but its very very difficult to explain him some things, I would like to use something like VNC or something alike to take a look on his desktop, but Im behind a NAT fireall, and so is he.. How can I, somehow, connect to his computer? Even just SSH would do.. [21:41] For now we're interchanging screencaptures and stuff, but its not really workable [21:41] phoenixz: get him to forward a port from his router to his pc [21:41] Juzman: no worries. [21:41] gdiz: xauthority is the magic code the gives you permission to launch x applications on a display, when you log in it is copied in karmic to /var/run/gdm/etc...this extracts the authorization back to the default location...otherwise you would need to set the XAUTHORITY enviroment variable to the correct location, which might be a bit more work [21:41] I am totally confused over how hal works. I'm trying to get the 2-finger tap on the touchpad to register as a middlebutton click. However I do not know how to do this! None of the input devices in lshal is my touchpad, so what makes it work!? [21:41] acicula: That would require him to do something complex.. I'd have to explain him.. hhmmm, let me ask him what router he has... [21:41] forwarded port on his pc has to have a service, port on the router can be your pick, mind you this gives everyone a chance to connect tehre [21:41] give me the command again plz [21:41] ah, a fresh install of karmic on the way :D [21:41] Once I encrypt a PGP message, it sits on my desktop as file.pgp.

[22:20] micheal: ~/ is a shortcut for /home/micheal [22:20] Iowan, I cannot make it like that, I cannot modify the file...

What's the usual way to do it? I bet there's more bother free way than manually downloading and installing [22:25] egle: OK restart/reboot - I prefer reboot to get NM synched [22:25] shooree: best way is to go into synaptic, and install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras . [22:25] Iowan, rebooting [22:25] bastidrazor Ill try that thanx [22:25] Why does the /etc/nsswitch.conf have mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] before "dns"?

Problem is, I forgot I had encrypted my /home directory. How should I go about getting it open? (got the encrypt password-or-whatcha-callit for it). Pointer to what to google for would help too [22:27] brennus, but when I try to run a java app, it doesn't know what to open i with [22:27] shooree: and java is still not installed? [22:27] Iowan, Ok, it seems back to normal, back to default. No worries mine are like that. Is that all for reseting? === irc is now known as Guest69618 [22:27] valkoinenpulu: dunno, but ecryptfs is what you should google for i think [22:27] brennus, java verification on java.com fails also in ffox [22:27] I want to set up a firewall on a legacy computer to act as a go-between between my webserver and the internet. Can anyone recommend the application best to use and a manual, so I can rtfm? [22:27] I have a big problem. My Ubuntu got fully stuck several times a day, not even F1-Switch works. Das anybody know what this is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/328855/ [22:28] brennus, should I try reinstalling the package? [22:28] shooree: search synaptic for java [22:28] ok [22:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/328859/ can someone help me fix synaptic?

[22:31] Iowan, sorry a https://10.1.1.10 [22:31] shooree: the best I can suggest is reinstalling. Many people are discovering new problems in Karmic that we're all hoping will be fixed for the LTS release coming up [22:31] so, the install failed with my good HDD too ... grr ... speed=40 might be too much ... for cdrecord? ... what is an absolutely safe speed? I figurre 30 seconds to burnn the iso was a little fast ... [22:31] shooree: where on java.com do yousee a java validator? [22:32] brennus, very well then.

[22:56] sobersabre: No. But this one did work before I formated it. [22:56] How can i get my power icon back? It has disappeared from the panel. I can create a simple "power off" icon but I'd like one that gives me the shutdown/ restart/ log off choice. [22:56] mostapha: ok. [22:56] nightcrow: its an emulator for DOS but you need real DOS to use ghost [22:57] do you mind opening a terminal ? [22:57] yeah [22:57] im really stuck [22:57] sobersabre: no, go ahead [22:57] when you do run: "sudo su -" and when asked type in your pass. [22:57] sobersabre: I tried some commands but it didn't work out [22:57] i have this one ghost image and i need to deploy it on 50 servers === lippy is now known as Guest86803 [22:57] and i have no idea how to accomplish that [22:57] nightcrow: all you need is a floppy with command.com on and ghost.exe [22:57] mostapha: after you're ready in a root's shell tell me. [22:57] sobersabre: ya i'm on [22:57] and then how will i access the image? [22:57] :) [22:57] can I install server version, then some GUI, and get server LTS? === Guest86803 is now known as Guest75 [22:58] it will take me forever to do 50 machines like that ActionParsnip [22:58] so.. how do i install vsftp? wiht out it faiing? [22:58] * sobersabre ate 2 spoons of majadrah. [22:58] nightcrow: you setup a ghost session on the ghost server, the disk will also have packet drivers for the nic's in the system [22:58] would it be easier if i installed a control panel ? like webmin? [22:59] sobersabre: I'm on a root. [22:59] mostapha: you are absolutely sure that flashdisk is /dev/sdb1 right ? [22:59] sobersabre: mmm.. ya [22:59] hola no tengo mucha experiencia en ubuntu [22:59] ActionParsnip, it would work like that [22:59] alguien me podria ayudar? [22:59] good evening [22:59] If I'm installing via wubi, what is the minimum space I should allocate and still be able to use ubuntu normally without restriction? [22:59] ActionParsnip, im trying to do something similar to this [22:59] http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/478 [22:59] ok I'll tell you the plan, and you tell me if it's ok with you. [22:59] err [22:59] DrRobinTosh: perhaps you need to configure a file in /etc to make it accept connections? you know, packages (especially insecure things like FTP) usually come configured conservatively to avoid surprises [22:59] !es | manuel_ [22:59] manuel_: 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. [22:59] nightcrow: you tell the clients to join the name of the session you created on the server and when the right number of clients connects, the broadcast will begin (or you can attend the server to kick it off) [22:59] but with BOOTING into DOS [22:59] sobersabre: ok [22:59] hmm [22:59] nightcrow: yes I know, Ive used it [22:59] I assume you don't have any valuable data on /dev/sdb1. so I'll tell you what to do to really format it. and after that we'll see what's up. [22:59] how do I upgrade my ming32 packages -- Ive tried to cross compile handbrake and Im getting a mingw runtime must be >= 3.15 [23:00] LjL, well i fllowed the tuts, and i have set it up so i can [23:00] using what server ActionParsnip [23:00] DrRobinTosh: "dpkg -L packagename" (so "dpkg -L vsftp") will give you a list of all files it comes with; specifically, you could do "dpkg -L vsftp | grep etc" to get an idea what the config files may be [23:00] how can I restore grub default options? [23:00] I've returned to trying to install ruby on rails, but it's taking weeks. I've got as far as making a rails app but when I type "rake db:create:all" it says "no such file to load -- sqlite3". Ubuntu is giving me immense trouble getting anything related to rails to work at all. [23:00] mostapha: ok ? [23:00] sobersabre: cool [23:00] DrRobinTosh: what are "the tuts", and why did you fllow them? [23:00] nightcrow: you need a ghost server running the session [23:00] or system backups of grub2 files? [23:00] ok [23:00] so what are the steps? [23:00] LjL, duh. to getit going. [23:00] or do you have a tutorial that you can link me to? [23:00] nightcrow: i just told you [23:00] http://www.ehow.com/how_5025791_setup-ftp-server-ubuntu.html [23:00] this is one [23:00] theres another one [23:00] DrRobinTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:00] sorry, i thought we were having a discussion [23:00] :-/ [23:01] my bad [23:01] nightcrow: ghost can also do local disk to local disk if you do not have the server [23:01] i didnt realise you were certain [23:01] i dont have the server [23:01] i just have ghost.exe [23:01] DrRobinTosh: oh, you meant *tutorials*. sorry, but english is not my native language, i might not understand such abbreviations [23:01] If I'm installing via wubi, what is the minimum space I should allocate and still be able to use ubuntu normally without restriction? [23:01] nightcrow: yeah used to use it when i worked in a school, we use PXE where I work now [23:01] i see [23:01] Im not having any luck with a good list of compatible wireless mice. Is there a good list somewhere? [23:01] ActionParsnip, PXE is what i want to use [23:01] DrRobinTosh: still, it's probably a VERY bad idea to just blindly follow a tutorial for something as insecure as FTP [23:01] it has been what i have used up until now [23:02] DrRobinTosh: can you tell me exactly what you have done to install and configure it so far? [23:02] mostapha: run the command: "mkfs.vfat -n MDATA /dev/sdb1" [23:02] jrt05: 30Gb is max, you'll need about 7Gb for / and be comfortable [23:02] So far I only know for sure that the Logitech V220 works out of the box. [23:02] linuxguy2009: you mean bluetooth wireless or other [23:02] nightcrow: norton ghost isnt PXE [23:02] sudo apt-get install vsftpd [23:02] then cd /ect [23:02] Thanks a lot ActionParsnip [23:02] i know [23:02] i never said it was... [23:02] sudo nano vsftpd.conf [23:02] how do i bring up that power history graph thing on ubuntu karmic? [23:02] mostapha: it maybe will warn you about something. unless it says "already mounted" you agree to "destroy data" on that disk. ok ? [23:02] and changed the lines like it said [23:02] acicula: My Dell Mini 10v doesnt have bluetooth built in but I dont really have a preferecne as long as it works. [23:03] mostapha: are you with me ? [23:03] nightcrow: then why talk about norton ghost then say you want to use PXE [23:03] acicula: I want to avoid M$ mice for sure. [23:03] linuxguy2009: why so ? [23:03] sobersabre: ya, i didn't say already mounted [23:03] :) [23:03] mostapha: did it finish the formatting procedure ? [23:03] nightcrow: this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer [23:03] sobersabre: I see it I think mounted [23:03] sobersabre: I highly dislike M$. [23:03] ActionParsnip, let me explain, i had a network boot disk, which i used in conjunction with tftpd.exe, that was my dhcp server and my pxe. so using that, i booted (with pxe) into a network boot disk, mapped a shared drive in DOS using 'net use' and then ran ghost.exe via the network to deploy the image [23:03] sobersabre: I think it worked hold on i'll double check [23:04] linuxguy2009: why do you dislike ms ? they make a hell of mice! [23:04] DrRobinTosh: what does « grep local_enable /etc/vsftpd.conf » say? [23:04] ActionParsnip, is that clearer? [23:04] sobersabre: it did work, thanks alot :) [23:04] mostapha: you maybe partitioned the flash disk, but didn't format. [23:04] HeyHey all (happy T day US.) If I have my cpu running high constantly while idle, but system monitor doesnt list any troubles in cpu usage, how can i find out, perhaps with terminal command, which process it is so i can kill it? [23:04] sobersabre: I really love Logitech though. [23:04] LjL, local_enable=YES [23:04] mostapha: there are 2 distinct operations: partitioning is cutting the disk to slices. formatting is creating the filesystems on them. [23:05] linuxguy2009: as of now I haven't seen better than ms mice. (well, apple's mice are ok too) [23:05] ActionParsnip, that link says: If your dhcp server issues correct network info and your pxe clients will have network access, then at this point you will be able to do an Ubuntu install using internet repositories [23:05] I like the Logitech Nano mice but not sure if the mini receiver will work on Ubuntu. [23:05] but i want to install windows using ghost.exe [23:05] nightcrow: pxe will use the bios to boot from network, it doesnt need a disk [23:05] MAGIC MOUSE!!! [23:05] sobersabre: ah, got it. [23:05] nightcrow: the guide is good though [23:05] linuxguy2009: ms mice are ... robust. I have one for like 6 years. [23:05] argh, I have debian runnin in a VM and I want to set the screen resolution to 800x600 [23:05] it never asked for cheese. [23:05] Magic Mouse is really good with BetterTouchTool [23:05] DrRobinTosh: does "ps aux | grep ftp" show it as running? [23:06] mostapha: tislam, ya zalamee. [23:06] Who here is having any trouble? [23:06] ActionParsnip, but once ive booted, how would i run ghost.exe [23:06] LjL, PM [23:06] how do i bring up that power history graph thing on ubuntu karmic?? [23:06] i am iKernel :D [23:06] sobersabre: As much as I hate M$ do they make any reasonably priced and available at walmart and maybe feature a mini reciever? [23:06] sobersabre: shamy? [23:06] esh ? [23:06] what's up DryGrain [23:06] Does any one know how can I restore grub default options? or restore system backups (if exists) of grub2 files? [23:07] DrRobinTosh: uhm, ok. but if you do "ftp localhost", it doesn't ask for a username? [23:07] sobersabre: men syria, lebanon (el sham)? [23:07] I recently migrated to UBUNTU from windows XP and I found myself with a useless webcam...VEO Can anybody recommend an ubuntu compatible webcam? [23:07] halabi ? la. israil. el yahud :) [23:07] newtoubuntu: run: lsusb one line will identify the cam, websearch the 8 character hex ID [23:07] btw, im SSHd into the server from my mac [23:07] !english [23:07] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [23:07] argh, I have debian runnin in a VM and I want to set the screen resolution to 800x600. the "Screen resolution" app in the system>preferences menu is useless, theres nothing in the dropdown menu [23:07] sobersabre: arab 48? [23:07] nightcrow: yuo don't the PXE boot will install the OS for you [23:08] ? la, ana el yahud. [23:08] eh? [23:08] please, english in here [23:08] the pxe boot will install windows? [23:08] can i pm ActionParsnip ? [23:08] If I have my cpu running high constantly while idle, but system monitor doesnt list any troubles in cpu usage, how can i find out, perhaps with terminal command, which process it is so i can kill it?

[23:09] :) [23:09] I don't get it [23:09] min wentaq ? [23:09] DryGrain: ive tried that one but it didnt list anything either [23:09] sobersabre, mostapha: please use english and keep it ubuntu-support-related. there's PM for the rest. [23:09] sobersabre: masr [23:09] ah, i see [23:09] masri cool :) [23:09] nightcrow: you can even setup a local repo with up to date debs and use the minimal ISO in PXE boot with the local server as a repo, you can then install from that (fast) [23:09] not sure DryGrain [23:09] ActionParsnip, im not sure if your method will work [23:09] D_K_2, are you using gnome? [23:09] LjL: ok. no problems. [23:10] I have a laptop with Ubuntu 9.10, How do I bring up that power history graph thing on Ubuntu karmic? I had it on Edgy, but I never knew the command to start it. I don't have a battery to pull out to get the battery icon on the taskbar to get it. === ballzee is now known as Sinister [23:10] ActionParsnip, if i was install linux, u would be 100% eright [23:10] right [23:10] but this is different [23:10] very [23:10] nightcrow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:10] How to make my terminal beep? (I'm on ubuntu9.04ppc and gnome-terminal 2.26)? [23:10] D_K_2, in the System Monitor there is a list of all running processes === hapt1K is now known as ubun00b [23:10] mostapha: nice talking to you :) [23:10] ActionParsnip, http://netbootdisk.com/pxeboot.htm [23:10] DrRobinTosh: so when from inside your ssh to the computer running vsftpd, you run "ftp localhost", you get an error? [23:10] Are there anywhere some ubuntu FAQ's [23:11] how do i flash bios in ubuntu to disable bios password [23:11] josvuk: type /topic [23:11] sobersabre: nice talking with you too, looking forward more if it's ok with u [23:11] ohh LjL, 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'chown_username':whoever [23:11] nightcrow: if you are using a windows server to install windows then you are in the wrong channel [23:11] mostapha: no probs :) see you around! [23:11] ubun00b: are you the owner of the computer ? [23:11] DryGrain: cool, thanks man [23:12] im not :) [23:12] lol [23:12] yay i helped :D [23:12] ActionParsnip, im concerned that you havent fully understood me :) [23:12] sobersabre: b2olak, I'm trying to create a USB startup disk, but it's not working I keep on getting error. [23:12] ubun00b: if you have physical access, shutdown the pc take all power connections from it, open the case and take out the bios battery then go to bed [23:12] i think my english my not be good enough [23:12] ok [23:12] how about this, i want to pxe boot into dos using a linux server [23:12] :) [23:12] ActionParsnip, i tryed that i left the battery out for 24 hrs [23:12] ubun00b: in the morning, battery back in, power in, no more password [23:12] sobersabre: I get that error An uncaught exception was raised: [23:13] mostapha: you need to run syslinux on the disk first, there should be a "howto" ready to copy paste. [23:13] [Errno 2] No such file or directory [23:13] ActionParsnip, should i leave it out longer? [23:13] DrRobinTosh: ehm, did you uncomment the line that says "#chown_username=whoever" in /etc/vsftpd.conf...? [23:13] sorry, using a linux pxe server [23:13] sobersabre: Ah Ok I'll check it out. [23:13] ubun00b: did you have the power cable connected and turned on [23:13] if /boot, /, /home and swap... how each partition should be assigned (as primary, or as logical)? [23:13] ActionParsnip, no the machine was off and everything was unplugged. [23:13] nightcrow: you can't DOS is its own OS [23:13] sobersabre: syslinux /dev/sdb1 ?? [23:14] i can if i bind a DOS boot disk to the linux pxe server [23:14] mostapha: google for "ubuntu boot flash disk" [23:14] ubun00b: ok have it all wired up but shutdown and find the CMOS reset jumper and switch it to reset [23:14] LjL, yes i did [23:14] sobersabre: ok [23:14] good day :) i dont know what exactly happened but my wi-fi stopped to work [23:14] sobersabre: thanks [23:14] mostapha: I don't remember the exact syntax. [23:14] it works on windows, but it doesnt work on backtrack or ubuntu [23:14] DrRobinTosh: well, perhaps it's time to comment it back and restart the service ;) [23:14] sobersabre: np :) [23:14] I remember following the howto, and it worked. [23:14] i dont know what is happening :S [23:14] nightcrow: you can boot to DOS and use ghost.exe but you need a ghost server to broadcast the image [23:14] ActionParsnip, ok i'll have to google for the manual for the cmos jumper for this type of computer i'll try that next thank you [23:15] does the ghost server run on linux?# [23:15] ubun00b: most bios flashers are windows based but can usually be done in DOS [23:15] nightcrow: no on windows, its a paid for product [23:15] Hi guys, [23:15] ubun00b: is this a desktop or a laptop ? [23:15] KSid: hi. [23:16] dan85: /boot 256mb (if you dont leave more than 2 kernels in there) /20-30gb /home depend on your needs, i have 60gb swap 2xRAM if you have less than 1gb RAM alse 1xRAM [23:16] ah, i see [23:16] I'm cross posting from the server channel as it's not a server specific query [23:16] do you have its name? [23:16] nightcrow: http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost [23:16] LjL, same thing [23:16] KSid: this sentence was ... redundant. [23:16] who can try if my firewall is ok? test http://onofrio.go.dyndns.org [23:16] conntion refushed [23:16] dan85: *else [23:16] i ran sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart [23:16] hey [23:16] ok ActionParsnip [23:16] ill try that out [23:16] sobersabre: fair enough... on to the question then [23:16] thank you [23:16] onofrio: http://pastie.org/716586 [23:16] I don't have apache or mod_php installed however aptitude is telling me an update is available for both [23:16] I do have php5 installed (which it also says needs updating) and apache-utils (which doesn't) but I haven't installed the actual apache server [23:16] DrRobinTosh: does it give you the same error as before then? [23:17] hello everyone [23:17] yes [23:17] I'm having trouble using the disk utilities, it keeps saying: [23:17] hi [23:17] Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition. [23:17] ped_disk_new() failed [23:17] wait [23:17] ojk action [23:17] DrRobinTosh: about user 'whoever'? even with that commented out? [23:17] KSid: it means they ARE installed.... [23:17] I also can't use gparted [23:17] LjL, Pm plz [23:17] ActionParsnip, does that have a built in pxe server? [23:17] gparted does not detect ANY partitions [23:17] KSid: you can check by running dpkg -l | grep apache [23:17] how can i get my power icon back? It has disappeared from the panel. I can create a simple "power off" icon but I'd like one that gives me the shutdown/ restart/ log off choice. [23:17] ok here is the problem i am having [23:17] Could anyone help me get my sound working? [23:17] DrRobinTosh: i'd rather speak in the channel, so someone else can chip in if they can. [23:17] certain things don't work with "sudo gem install" - I have to revert to using "sudo apt-get install" for them [23:17] i made a init.d script but it dose not start up on boot [23:17] its too busy [23:17] sobersabre: They aren't installed, I've already checked [23:18] i can't keep up [23:18] how can i make it start on boot [23:18] sobersabre: this is the second time this has come up [23:18] !sound [23:18] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:18] KSid: why and when it happened before ? [23:18] nightcrow: possibly. I havent used it since 1999 [23:19] anyone ?. [23:19] LjL, ok, so i changed the port to 20 and thats connection refused. so i left it default, (21) and that says Error -203 [23:19] ActionParsnip, it doesnt [23:19] sobersabre: The last time there was an update to the core php files aptitude wanted to install the apache packages [23:19] so im back to square one [23:19] drrobintosh are you trying to ssh >/ [23:19] i just searched through the manual for pxe [23:19] pdragon_, No FTP [23:19] KSid: I don't understand do you have php installed ? [23:20] did you allow it throw the linux firewall > or the router firewall [23:20] pdragon: What version - Karmic uses services [23:20] has anyone used Slax [23:20] the most resant [23:20] pdragon_, its got no firewall, and its inside my network [23:20] KSid: I think you're missing something about aptitude :) [23:20] Could anyone here help me get my sound working? [23:21] KSid: it is SMART :) [23:21] linux has a build in firewall and sometimes you have to allow stuff to get throw if you did not config it right [23:21] oh ok [23:21] how i do that? [23:21] KSid: I think what happened is that one of the packages related to php is either of: [23:21] sobersabre: Yep, I have php5, php5-cgi and php5-cli (as well as some php modules) but not libapache2-mod-php5 or the apache server [23:21] DrRobinTosh: err, there's no other description than error 203...? look, i'm on hardy myself, and vsftpd works locally *out of the box*, without changing *anything* in the config file. perhaps you've changed a bit too much. "sudo apt-get --purge remove vsftpd ; sudo apt-get install vsftpd" to restore it to defaults, then see if it works any better, at least locally [23:21] I need to create a boot image, but the USB Startup Disk Creator isn't detecting my USB drive. Any ideas? [23:21] !sound| ParkerM [23:21] ParkerM: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:21] from these: /boot, /, /home, swap... which should be primary or logical and why... also, in which order to place them? [23:21] well what ftp program are you using and did you just apt-get it and that was it [23:21] pdragon_, make sure you update your rc.d file , sudo update-rc.d [23:21] KSid: are you using non apache web server ? [23:22] sobersabre: lighttpd [23:22] so just update it and that is it [23:22] sobersabre: from the developer's ppa instead of the official Ubuntu one for 8.10 [23:22] hey [23:22] KSid: I think you're witnessing a consipiracy :) I think people form php related packages add apache as dependency. [23:22] ok well how do i access volume control in 9.10 [23:22] KSid: this often happens in ppa sources. people assume assumptions, you know... [23:23] sound preferences don't have a file option [23:23] sobersabre: php isn't from a ppa, lighttpd is from a ppa [23:23] anyone have a logitech vx nano cordless mouse working in ubuntu 9.10? [23:23] Bluekaj what is the level for it to boot with the tty [23:23] I am having trouble installing the flashplayer for x86_64 [23:23] sobersabre: php is from the official ubuntu repo [23:23] hey guys is the installation of adobe flash in xubuntu the same with ubuntu? [23:23] yes [23:24] sobersabre: You're right.... grrrrr.... [23:24] KSid: Oh, ok. then you need to investigate which package depends on apache, and contact its maintainer :) [23:24] KSid: what about ? [23:24] sobersabre: The official php5 package depends on mod_php [23:24] lloyd yes they are the same [23:24] pdragon_, you may have to create a symlink to [23:24] @pdragon ok [23:24] KSid: it maybe doesn't really depend, it is probably "suggested" [23:25] yes the file name in my init.d is wlan and i want it to run on boot [23:25] aptitude often refers to "suggests" and "recommends" as "depends". [23:25] lloyd, are you from NZ? [23:25] sobersabre: sudo aptitude show php5 [23:25] so i dont have to use xwindows to run my wlan [23:25] sobersabre: can you check if I read the output correctly? [23:25] Actionparsnip got it thanksso much !! [23:25] KSid: moment... [23:26] @DrRobinTosh whats NZ? [23:26] sobersabre: Ah, I think i've got it [23:26] lloyd, New Zealand, you must not be then :P [23:26] sobersabre: It's not aptitude being odd, it's apticron [23:26] im from the philippines, asia [23:26] ok [23:27] KSid: apticron ? [23:27] sobersabre: Aptitude is happy not installing apache stuff, apticron though has picked ALL of the dependencies and listed them as ready for upgrading [23:27] LjL. IT WORKS!!!! [23:27] Thanks LjL! [23:27] DrRobinTosh: you're welcome [23:27] I have no idea who is apticron. I'm familiar with dpkg, dselect, apt-get, and even aptitude. [23:27] LjL, one thing [23:27] i installed linux on /dev/sdd and bootloader all in /dev/sdd it is USB flash drive and i am stuck at grub> prompt how can i boot into linux? [23:27] sobersabre: apticron runs 'aptitude update' as a cronjob and sends an email with the list of packages waiting for an upgrade [23:28] where do i put my www files? [23:28] KSid: I never do such frightening things like aptitude update as a cronjob... [23:28] i installed linux on /dev/sdd and bootloader also in /dev/sdd it is USB flash drive and i am stuck at grub> prompt how can i boot into linux? [23:28] ** [23:28] sobersabre: it seems like it's not as intelligent as aptitude and lists all dependencies instead of just the packages that actually need it [23:28] sobersabre: It runs the update command, not upgrade [23:28] I am having trouble installing the flashplayer for x86_64 [23:29] sobersabre: I manually upgrade if/when needed [23:29] DrRobinTosh: uh, in /var/www i suppose... but that's not related to vsftpd right? [23:29] !flash payne_ [23:29] KSid: I understand. still... it's a receipt for SPAM from myself. why would I even think of it ? [23:29] KSid: you get updates sometimes 10 times a day. [23:29] ParkerM, [23:29] ParkerM, wut [23:29] and sometimes the pkg list is long. [23:29] !flash| payne_ [23:29] payne_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:29] ok [23:30] ParkerM, thanks [23:30] yep [23:30] sobersabre: The cron job runs once a day and I only have a small number of installed packages because it's a server not a desktop system [23:30] how come most of the newbies don't just use applications/ Ubuntu software center and that will do it for them [23:30] E: Package libxml1 has no installation candidate. [23:30] KSid: I understand you may do what you do if you maintain 1 server. [23:30] how can i fix this? [23:31] Frog use apt-get install libxml1 [23:31] sobersabre: I agree, I'll need a better idea if I have multiple servers [23:31] try that [23:31] Package libxml1 has no installation candidate pdragon_ [23:31] KSid: you will come to mailing lists or RSS [23:31] :) [23:31] ok one sec [23:31] sobersabre: (un)fortunately I'm not there yet ;) [23:32] KSid: are you sure you want to be "there" ? [23:32] howdy folks [23:32] ty Ljl [23:32] bbs shower [23:32] frog have you tried apt-get update [23:32] danny: howdy. [23:33] ParkerM, thanks [23:33] Can someone recommend a great "how to" guide on how to browse my windows shared folders through ubuntu? I've looked at a lot (a LOT) of guides and still can't seem to get it working [23:33] pdragon_: but i must first add to app.source [23:33] My main problem seems to be setting up my Ubuntu workgroup [23:34] sobersabre: eventually, get enough projects off the ground then I'd be happy [23:34] so you have no apt-get web souce [23:34] sobersabre: either have multiple servers or one ginormous machine that eats babies for breakfast [23:34] sobersabre: ;) [23:34] pdragon_: sry, tried to update aptitude [23:34] danny: it's not enough to look at the "how to" guide. it would be useful if you read it... [23:34] frog ok try this sudo apt-get upgrade [23:34] a linux user who's pedantic with semantics, what a shock [23:34] :P [23:34] ja, works now mkdir canon [23:34] KSid: I don't like machines that eat babies. [23:35] ok, i "read" a lot of guides [23:35] danny: and ... read = understood ? [23:35] frog so did that help [23:35] sobersabre: thanks for helping me out, much appreciated [23:35] sorry... pdragon_ ya, works, thanks [23:35] KSid: no probs. [23:35] welcome :) [23:35] yep pdragon_ [23:35] read, followed instructiosn to a T, understood, but getting errors that the "if you get these errors" sections don't cover [23:35] tahnks [23:35] ksid what kind of server you have [23:36] well nvm lool [23:36] danny: I'll tell you why I'm so annoying. I didn't do ANYTHING to do what you did, and I'm able to browse windows networks. [23:36] well it took a lot of work just to get my wireless adapter to work [23:36] danny: are you working inside a domain or a workgroup ? [23:36] workgroup [23:36] and workgroup is what's causing the issue [23:36] i can't edit my smb.conf to change the workgroup [23:36] danny: moment. I'll ask you basic questions... like a doctor :) [23:37] what is danny issue [23:37] can't browse windows networks, using samba, or pyneighborhood [23:37] danny: 1st interesting question - if you read "how to guide" most of the work is around smb.conf [23:38] and sobersabre you can borwse the network computers with only being on a workgroup [23:38] pdragon_: have you seen me claiming the oposite ? [23:38] sobre - yes smb.conf [23:38] i have 4 laptops and 1 linux server on a work group and i can see all them fine with a windows machien [23:38] danny: if you cannot edit it... how did you get to the problem ? :) [23:39] i open smb.conf, it's "read only", and if i try to overwrite the file with my altered workgroup info, it won't overwrite [23:39] danny: anyway, I understand your status. [23:39] anybody know a way to minimize opengl games ? im talking about ut2004 [23:39] danny you will need to run the editor as root or sudo [23:39] pdragon_: do you wish to take over and help danny ? [23:39] the smb.conf is locked to root premissons only [23:39] pdragon ah yeah ok...i just did gedit i think [23:40] just trying to help you more [23:40] Enter text here...h [23:40] well, I'm ok with your taking over... go go go :) [23:40] :P [23:40] your doing just fine [23:40] nono I insist. [23:40] we both can help him i will just sit back [23:41] pdragon_: I was exactly thinking about sitting back, seriously, go ahead. [23:41] :) [23:41] so, I'm off for tea. [23:41] i is finished loading my new game lol [23:41] was killing time helping out [23:43] Hey, I dual-boot winXP and Ubuntu, just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 using update manager. XP is no longer visible in GRUB :o Can anyone help? [23:43] danny: now, do you have dns working where you're browsing windows network ? [23:44] I mean, can you ping machines by their names or by IP ? === TheTosh is now known as Guest50257 [23:45] jackeveryman: run sudo update-grub === Guest50257 is now known as TheTosh [23:45] Hi, I'm having problems with sound in ubuntu 9.10 can anyone help? [23:46] bluesscream: any way to check if that worked without rebooting? [23:47] How come when I type Users into terminal, it shows me logged in multiple times? [23:48] TheFunkbomb: each terminal session counts as a separate login [23:48] TheFunkbomb: because you have more than one terminal open? [23:48] TheFunkbomb: it shows you all the ttys your user is using... [23:48] I see [23:48] I only had one terminal open so it's my normal login +terminal? [23:48] if you're logged in graphically you usually also take up a tty. [23:49] gotcha [23:49] / [23:49] I followed the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure and my sound still isn't working... Can someone help? [23:49] hi, happy thanksgiving [23:49] hi Wilabob [23:49] but if you log in via ssh, it's 1 tty. [23:49] unless you're connected multiple times. [23:49] jackeveryman: have a look to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:50] I see now [23:50] thanks [23:50] how do I make firefox use the karmic notifiaction system? [23:50] jackeveryman: but don't edit this directly [23:50] *notification [23:51] ShapeShifter499: what do you mean ? [23:51] bluesscream: it's empty.. And menu.lst has what I saw on startup. (I'm not messing around as su.. yet) [23:51] has anyone setup elisa/moovida to UPNP to xbox360 [23:51] jackeveryman: hmm [23:51] im using Ushare currently but would like to look at moovida as a media center alternative [23:51] I have been able to get my wifi video and dual booting working but I need sound now... Any suggestions? I already visited https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [23:52] jackeveryman: if you upgrade to 9.10 instead of installing it from scratch, it will use the old grub (and menu.lst) instead of grub2 (and grub.cfg) [23:52] Wilabob: do you think telling us what sound card you have will slow down the time to resolution of your problem ? [23:52] ugh, I forgot how to make dbus work with hp-toolbox [23:52] tips please [23:52] I mean the extrasensory people have just left the channel.... [23:52] jackeveryman: you can upgrade from grub to grub2, but I forget the procedure [23:53] what is the best torrent application for linux [23:53] !best | payne_ [23:53] payne_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:53] !best | payne_ [23:53] sobersabre: How do I find that out? It's built in so I can't look on the card [23:53] hi, do you know any IRC for CSS and JavaScript coding? [23:53] Wilabob: can you open a terminal ? [23:53] lstarnes: What are the odds that upgrading to GRUB2 will automatically detect my XP partition? [23:53] !torrent [23:53] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [23:53] what is the "ideal" torrent application for linux [23:53] sobersabre: you know how it pops up in the corner when you connected to the net or when new mail comes through evolution mail? well thats what I want with firefox(ie downloads, etc.) [23:53] Wilabob: do you know how to type in commands ? [23:53] mike77pl: there is a ##javascript [23:53] anyone here making pumpkin soup today? i'm considering adding peanut butter to mine and i'm looking for advice [23:53] jackeveryman: I'm not sure [23:54] payne_: changing the word doesn't change the meaning. ask bestbot for opinions [23:54] jackeveryman: there is proably a way to manually add XP to menu/.lst [23:54] *menu.lst [23:54] ShapeShifter499: I think it is related to linux d-bus support, or maybe gnome related linux extensions. [23:54] sobersabre: Yep... You know how many of those I had to use to get wifi working? [23:54] and you're looking for advice in a linux channel? [23:54] payne_, default "transmission" works just fine [23:54] !torrent [23:54] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [23:54] payne_: or give criteria for people to actually give customized opinions [23:54] hello. where are the ubuntu one files stored? [23:54] Wilabob: no I don't know. run this command: lspci [23:54] m4rk, on the cloud [23:54] m4rk: probably better to ask in #ubuntuone [23:54] and look at the line "Audio" [23:54] I mean with "Audio" in it. [23:55] lstarnes: that's what I figure, really that strikes me as the way to go but I'm not sure how... I'll keep my on on here while googling menu.lst [23:55] jackeveryman: sudo update-grub will do it [23:55] sobersabre: do you know how to do it? [23:55] sobersabre: Its intel 82801AA AC'97 [23:56] thanks guys [23:56] ShapeShifter499: I am not sure there is such thing. [23:56] I asked in #ubuntuone [23:56] Wilabob: so... now, that we know you HAVE audio card... [23:56] what exactly [23:56] is the problem ? [23:56] sobersabre: lol [23:57] bluesscream: sudo update-grub will update grub1 to grub2? If so, how can I check the current version? [23:57] sobersabre: No sound. My speakers work in XP [23:57] jackeveryman, sudo apt-get install grub2 will update grub [23:57] sobersabre: hmm.... [23:57] sobersabre: more googling I will do... [23:57] Wilabob: ok. do you see a little speaker at the top right corner of gnome (if you use gnome) ? [23:57] sobersabre: Yep its on full volume [23:58] jackeveryman, by default its going to chainload from old grub on startup. make sure grub2 boots all your OSs, when satisfied boot into ubuntu and run grub2-install [23:58] ok, if you RIGHT click it ... what do you see ? [23:58] halo [23:58] sobersabre: thanks for the help anyways [23:58] i want to set a const int MAX_X for my class. I want it to be set in one place, instead of initializing it in all the constructors. what are my options [23:58] sobersabre: mute and sound preferences (mute is off) [23:58] ShapeShifter499: try searching in the add-ons of firefox. [23:59] Wilabob: do you mind going to "sound preferences" ? [23:59] jackeveryman, actually the command to run is not grub2-install its something like update-from-grub-legacy if im not mistaken, it will tell you when you install grub2 package [23:59] jackeveryman: no, just after you did ussers's hint you will do this and get your osses accessible [23:59] sobersabre: I did, all the add ons don't work [23:59] sobersabre: OK, now what? [23:59] inspiron630, constants.h file [23:59] inspiron630, create it and put all your constants there [23:59] well I gotta go, bye everyone, mom just finished the turkey [23:59] what do you see ?
