sobersabre | what do you see ? | 00:01 |
usser | jackeveryman, it should detect your OSs, but again installing grub-pc package wont replace grub1 in mbr, it will put one more options on your grub1 menu, "boot grub2" use it to test stuff out, make sure all your OSs are detected. | 00:02 |

greezmunkey | danny, are you running any firewall? iptables? | 00:16 |

nonie | i just did the normal default after the installation i let ubuntu figure out the card installed | 00:18 |
greezmunkey | danny, you should see three distinct outputs, that are empty of options | 00:18 |
Scunizi | nonie: what card? | 00:18 |
nonie | hold on | 00:19 |
danny | greez: yeah i think that's what i see, "chain input/chain forward/chain output" with not much else | 00:19 |
smorg | Wilabob: Thats a pretty common one. It should work after running alsaconf. I'm not sure about the ubuntu kernel but I would think it has support. | 00:19 |

Pricey | vistro: with it powered on? | 00:20 |
vistro | yup. It's updating | 00:21 |
nonie | it's a NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] . i did a lshw and this is what came up in the video card | 00:21 |
vistro | POS is so old, the processor is actually a card. | 00:21 |
smorg | Wilabob: You need alsa-utils. I'm not on ubuntu right now so I can't tell their package name. | 00:21 |
Pricey | vistro: well really, it should be powered off, and on a stattic proof mat thing, you should ground yourself, and then begin work | 00:21 |
nonie | i checked the repositories and found none of equivalent | 00:21 |
vistro | so the updates might take a while. | 00:21 |
Pricey | 'ground'? meh, whatever the word is | 00:21 |
Scunizi | nonie: and did you just install and the first thing you're trying to do is get the card working right? | 00:21 |

KindOne | Wilabob: lol what you doing with that ancient card ? | 00:26 |
Lingu | any ideas what went wrong ? | 00:26 |
benchik | lstarnes, greezmunkey: the question is : was the hard drive Load_Cycle_Count issue fixed in ubuntu 9.10? | 00:26 |
lstarnes | Lingu: what happens when you type in your name and password? | 00:27 |
Wilabob | KindOne: Meh it works on windows | 00:27 |
greezmunkey | lstarnes, nonie doesn't have an xorg.conf file, probably needs to run xorg rconfigure, but I'm not sure how to do that with a default install. | 00:27 |
lstarnes | benchik: try checking the bug reports on launchpad | 00:27 |
Lingu | well thats the problem the screen is flashing sometimes when i hit a key if its on the flash it doesnt register | 00:27 |
lstarnes | greezmunkey: in 9.10, xord can at least partially configure itself using hal/dbus | 00:27 |
greezmunkey | benchik, you should be able to look that up, I don't know. | 00:27 |
Lingu | so when i type my password i cant see if it misses a key or not so i cant try log in | 00:28 |
Scunizi | nonie: in synaptic package manager search for nvidia.. you'll see a package called nvidia-glx-legacy .. that supports the gforce 2 cards.. install that then in a terminal do a .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then look in system > Admin > hardware drivers and it may be there waiting to be activated... | 00:28 |

m1dlg | how do i recover my pc? | 00:45 |
josvuk | What's the kernel module snd-pcsp for. It is in the blacklist and modprobe doesn't reports it. Could this be the reason of my gnome-terminal no beep problem? | 00:45 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: we're talking about "Default Output" section, "Plugin" drop down list. | 00:45 |
LjL | josvuk: it's the PC speaker | 00:45 |
sobersabre | josvuk: I think so. | 00:45 |
LjL | josvuk: and yes it could | 00:45 |
kavurt | m1dlg: what's wrong? | 00:46 |
Wilabob | sobersabre: If I use pulse plugin and click test it doesn't work | 00:46 |
Wilabob | sobersabre: I'm using ALSA | 00:46 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: after you chose pulse, you need to choose device. | 00:46 |
sobersabre | what is chosen now ? | 00:46 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: pulse is ABOVE alsa. | 00:46 |
m1dlg | my pc crashed, now i cant boot, i have recovery shell | 00:46 |
sobersabre | so, leave alsa alone. | 00:46 |
DJIndy | hey, does anyone know how to change where WINE's C drive is mounted? | 00:47 |

kavurt | m1dlg: does it say anyghing when you try to boot? | 00:47 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: did you play with ALSA mixers ? | 00:47 |
Wilabob | sobersabre: Yes some of them were on mute so I turned them on | 00:48 |
nilo_ | Hi again | 00:48 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: do you have alsa gtk mixer installed or did you play via command line ? | 00:48 |
m1dlg | kavurt, unable to mount required .... and something about waiting for drive and fstab? i'll copy it in a sec. | 00:48 |
Wilabob | sobersabre: I used gtk | 00:49 |
Wilabob | sobersabre: BRB I have to switch comps | 00:49 |
sobersabre | I suspect you messed all the mixers a little bit. | 00:49 |
m1dlg | lots of input output errors on sectors on the drive | 00:49 |
josvuk | sudo modprobe snd-pcsp reports me: FATAL: Module snd_pcsp not found. Can I apt-get install snd-pcsp to install it? | 00:49 |
nilo_ | someone can help me get the sound | 00:50 |
josvuk | Where are the kernel modules in the filesystem located? | 00:50 |
nilo_ | someone can help me get the sound | 00:50 |
Wilabob | Back | 00:51 |
sobersabre | I suspect you messed all the mixers a little bit. | 00:51 |
sobersabre | you have 2 mixers - ALSA and pulse. | 00:51 |
m1dlg | kavurt, now i'm getting boot disk failure - all because i knocked a cable at the back - if I booted from a cd would a 'scandisk' like repair fix it? | 00:52 |
Wilabob_ | How so? | 00:52 |
sobersabre | alsa is a low level driver, and pulse is a "software" mixer. | 00:52 |
sobersabre | it allows many programs to use your alsa card simultaneously. | 00:52 |
sobersabre | Wilabob_: anyway, play with the mixers. | 00:53 |
Wilabob_ | sobersabre: So how can I fix it? | 00:53 |
sobersabre | play with the mixers. | 00:53 |
sobersabre | that's it. | 00:53 |
sobersabre | if you said you heard the beep from the speakers, it means hardware/software is capable, but mixers are not setup properly. ok ? | 00:53 |
sobersabre | in ALSA the output is usually signed as "PCM" or "Wave Out". | 00:54 |
Subby | What is the difference to plug my monitor over HDMI or DVI? | 00:54 |
Wilabob_ | sobersabre: OK, I have a PCM mixer | 00:54 |
sobersabre | Wilabob_: play with settings of the mixers. you can see them, I can't. it must work. | 00:55 |
sobersabre | look for muted stuff. | 00:55 |
sobersabre | Subby: HDMI can conduct sound, IF SUPPORTED with your card. | 00:56 |
sobersabre | from monitor's perspective it doesn't matter. | 00:56 |
ctmjr | Subby: HDMI carries sound Dvi does not | 00:56 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: play with the mixer. | 00:56 |
Subby | ctmjr: thats all? nothing else? quality or something? | 00:56 |
m1dlg | kavurt, The message is "one or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted: /home: waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/9??????????" | 00:57 |
Wilabob | Well... nothing is muted | 00:57 |
ctmjr | Subby: nope that's it | 00:57 |
Subby | okay then i leave it as it is | 00:57 |
KillGorack | ugh an update.. | 00:58 |
sobersabre | Wilabob: can you again enter that "right click" of the speaker, to see pulse input, output ? | 00:58 |
Subby | but next time i plug in hdmi, i think its a little bit more handy | 00:58 |
Wilabob | sobersabre: OK | 00:58 |
sobersabre | Subby: maybe hdmi is more handy, but it's more delicate, and smaller, and easier to disconnect... | 00:58 |

nilo_ | pleaseeee, I lost sound after upgrade my ubuntu 9.10, What can I do?? | 01:06 |
Wilabob | lol that sounds familiar | 01:06 |
Jeruvy | nonie: why would you need that? | 01:07 |

Zzarkc | gizmoguy the guide online didn't tell me to write that in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 | 01:19 |
Dr_Willis | i was thinking the use of wlan0 or eth0 depended on the exact driver/chipset of the wireless device. I have a laptop that has eth1 for its wireless | 01:19 |
what | eh? | 01:19 |
snuffy47 | having problems with monitor going into stnby even with it selected to never | 01:20 |
gizmoguy | iwconfig then maybe, to see what the actual wireless device is called | 01:20 |
Dr_Willis | but ive never used wpa_supplicant befor. So i may be missing somthing. | 01:20 |
gizmoguy | reading the guide it says "Note: "eth0" is your wireless device" | 01:20 |

Dr_Willis | Cas149: it has a 'repository' you want to add to your list of repositories for synaptics to use. see medibuntu docs | 01:45 |
Billiard | Cas149: you can download the css lib without adding the mediabunto repository | 01:46 |
assoguerozen_sx | guys it has a way to get flash performance better in ubuntu i386? | 01:46 |
Cas149 | How do I do that, Billiard? | 01:47 |
Billiard | Cas149: hold on ill find the command | 01:47 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: you seem to have to many wpasupplicant files created the best thing you can do is restart the computer and do not run any commands make sure network-manager is disabled and not taking control of the interface then come back here and we will try to help | 01:47 |
Cas149 | Sure, thanks! | 01:47 |
Billiard | Cas149: try this sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 01:49 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr I'm on a different computer, so i don't have to log off. Thanks for the help though. I'll let you know when I run stuff. | 01:49 |
Cas149 | Let's see | 01:49 |
Cas149 | It says it's selecting a previously deselected package | 01:50 |
Cas149 | I mean, library | 01:50 |
exarkun | I let update-manager install a few weeks worth of updates yesterday and then let it try to reboot. It couldn't finish exiting X, so I turned off the power. Today I turned the machine on and my raid0 array won't start because "no recogniseable superblock on /dev/sdb1". How do I fix it? | 01:50 |
krabador | Dr_Willis, can you help me with ntfs-3g in read/write mode, in all the cases? | 01:50 |
Cas149 | I looks like what it did, worked... I'll try to run a DVD and see what happens | 01:51 |
hellupline_ | did anyone know how nautilus set a name to a preview in ~/.thumbnails/ | 01:51 |
Dr_Willis | krabador: depends on the exact issues you are having. The ntfs-3g homepage/faq/docs are worth checking out also. it has a lot of info about problems you may encounter. | 01:51 |
krabador | Dr_Willis, i've a no write issue, when i mount win7's ntfs partition on karmic | 01:52 |
zippo | JohnWittle: ,, true,, but how 2 change volyme? whitout pulse? ,, alsa, oss,, whattevva,, works, but 4 basic stuff without pulse like an quickie in a panel,, !? pulse mandatory for panel applet? | 01:53 |
hellupline_ | did anyone know how nautilus set a name to a preview in ~/.thumbnails/, i am writing a python script, and a wanna use these previews | 01:53 |
JohnWittle | zippo: sudo apt-get install gnome-volume-control | 01:53 |
Billiard | hellupline_: you dont need to repeat your question so quickly, what do you mean set a name | 01:53 |
Cas149 | Mm... now it does not give me the message, but it still does not run. The screen stays blank | 01:54 |
JohnWittle | whenever you need to adjust volume, hit alt+f2 and type "gnome-volume-control" | 01:54 |
JohnWittle | or just bind it to a key | 01:54 |
MilesT | would it be better to move about 150Gb of files using ftp or rsync? | 01:54 |
assoguerozen_sx | guys it is a way to get flash performance better in x86 distro? (for instance, i cant play armorgames.com games cuz my flash performance suck) | 01:54 |
Billiard | assoguerozen_sx: how did you install flash player? | 01:54 |

MaxHR | Hello, I have just heard about wubi (for the purpose of installing ubuntu on a pc with no working cdrom, and w/o network or usb boot capability), is it possible to remove windows after wubi install is done, and convert it to a normal install? | 01:56 |
assoguerozen_sx | Billiard but i got the same slow motion performance in another distros (a little bit better using x64 distros) | 01:56 |
Billiard | toshi: no dont do that, im not the one with the problem either | 01:56 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr I'm trying to run the commands. | 01:56 |
toshi | and how the hell do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you adjust your volume | 01:56 |
nul | My monitor can't go above 1360x768 I think it was, I need to go up to 1600x1200, is there an easy way to add the res? | 01:56 |
assoguerozen_sx | Billiard just asking for some tricky tune thing... got me? | 01:57 |
chuckf | MaxHR: no | 01:57 |
Dr_Willis | MaxHR: i think thats a big No on both counts.. well you can sort of convert it to a normal install.. but not very esially | 01:57 |
toshi | Billiard, i had to download the 64bit version of flash and then copy the plugin to the mozilla folder | 01:57 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr I just restarted the computer fresh. So what do you want me to do in order? | 01:57 |
Dr_Willis | MaxHR: its best to just set up a normal 'dual boot setup' like most people use. | 01:57 |
nul | wtf, is it the hardest thing in the world to add resolutions to monitors? | 01:57 |
Billiard | toshi: you dont have to do that, flashplugin-nonfree works well | 01:58 |
zippo | JohnWittle: Couldn't find package gnome-volume-control ?? running Karmic,, true,, i have known that,, doesnt work in my karmic,, !??C? | 01:58 |
toshi | even for a 64bit machine? | 01:58 |
Dr_Willis | nul: for most of my nvidia based systems - they wont go to the proper/max res - untill i get the nvidia drivers installed properly. I also find that with DVI monitor/connections they rarely give me res problems. | 01:58 |
krabador | have usb installation issues with brand/models of pendrives? | 01:58 |
JohnWittle | zippo: gnome-volume-control does not work? | 01:58 |
JohnWittle | It really, really should, zippo. | 01:58 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: make sure you have the right interface run ifconfig -a look for wlan0 or whatever the wireless interface is | 01:58 |
JohnWittle | Someone else help him; I'm out of my league. | 01:58 |
Billiard | toshi: yes | 01:59 |
Dr_Willis | krabador: ive seen some specific pendrives, not work/boot properly with some of my machines.. but they would boot on other machines, and ive had pendrives that work on the 'problem' machine not work on other machines.. it can be.. weird | 01:59 |
MaxHR | Dr_Willis: the computer is too slow to really run winxp, so I don't need it, would rather have the space, my only other option is the floppy drive, if I could use that to start a network install of ubuntu | 01:59 |
toshi | and how do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you adjust your volume | 01:59 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr I did that. I'm looking at the info. | 01:59 |
asdo | how do i empty trash for my external usb thumb drive? | 01:59 |
krabador | Dr_Willis, something to try many times.... | 02:00 |
Dr_Willis | MaxHR: Ive not used a floppy disk in years.. whats the issue with booting from cd and installing that way? | 02:00 |
Madpilot | asdo, when you unmount it, it should offer to delete the Trash | 02:00 |
karma_police | any new news for 64 bit flash sluggishness? still freezes up on yahoo homepage with there flash ads | 02:00 |
Dr_Willis | krabador: most newer pendrives have not been giveing me the same issues as some of these 2gb's ive collected a few years past. | 02:00 |
Billiard | karma_police: how did you install flash ? | 02:00 |
karma_police | their* | 02:00 |
asdo | Madpilot, it doesnt | 02:00 |
karma_police | installed from the repos. i have 64 bit 9.10 | 02:01 |
asdo | Madpilot, it does now | 02:01 |
Billiard | karma_police: flashplugin-nonfree ? | 02:01 |
MaxHR | Dr_Willis: the cdrom in this laptop doesn't work, computer is too old to make it worth replacing, I am setting up the laptop for my Grandma for web-browsing/email | 02:01 |
asdo | thanks | 02:01 |
Madpilot | asdo, heh :) | 02:01 |
karma_police | not sure.. whatever is in the repos | 02:01 |
Dr_Willis | asdo: when you right click on the trash icon in the panel and do 'empty trash' it sees/scans/cleans out all removeable drives trash. and in 9.10 it asks to empty the trash when you unmount the device | 02:01 |
Billiard | karma_police: go check that you used flashplugin-nonfree | 02:01 |
epinky | zippo: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" , that applet would be useful | 02:02 |
Dr_Willis | MaxHR: put HD in a different box. install to it.. replace.. easier then fighting with a floppy. or learn about net-booting the thing to get it to install perhaps. | 02:02 |
karma_police | i'm a noob.. whats the best way of checking this? | 02:02 |
Billiard | karma_police: open the package manager, and look if flashplugin-nonfree is installed | 02:02 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : What do you want me to do for my next step? I'm looking at the ifconfig -a information. I found wlan0 | 02:02 |
zippo | JohnWittle: in synaptic,, gnome-utils gnome-voice-control gnome-volumemanager gnome-web-photo,,, no gnome-volume-control!!?? | 02:03 |
JohnWittle | zippo: grab gnome-volumemanager | 02:03 |
MaxHR | Dr_Willis: installing with a different computer might work... the bios doesn't support net booting or usb | 02:03 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: ok run this make sure it see's your wireless network sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 02:04 |
karma_police | it wasn't.. i checked it no | 02:04 |
karma_police | now | 02:04 |
Billiard | karma_police: ok install that see if flash works any better | 02:04 |
SnowRaptor | Hey there! I have an USB headset and I wanted Karmic to set it as default audio input/output whe itś plugged and internal card otherwise, but I can't find such option. Tips? | 02:04 |
karma_police | brb.. gotta reload firefox | 02:05 |
UbuntuUser | how come add/remove was replaced by ubuntu software center? i use to be able to install/uninstall more than one application at a time. i really don't like the change | 02:05 |
Billiard | UbuntuUser: there is both | 02:05 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : yep. It found it, along with 2 other networks I don't want to connect to. | 02:05 |
Billiard | UbuntuUser: you can use synaptic package manager or ubuntu software center | 02:06 |
UbuntuUser | Billiard, where's add/remove? | 02:06 |
UbuntuUser | Billiard, i know i can use synaptic, just prefer the way it was before | 02:06 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: ok did you set up a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file yet? | 02:07 |
karma_police | ok back.. it acts about the same.. it is fine on youtube and most flash.. just the pop-out flash on the yahoo homepage seems to lagg bad.. almost to the point of a hard freeze | 02:07 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr I believe so. I followed the guide online. | 02:08 |
karma_police | i know its not hardware issue..... i have 2.8 duo with 4gb of ram | 02:08 |
Billiard | UbuntuUser: sorry, im not sure about add/remove, it was crap anyway, no reason not to use synaptic | 02:08 |
karma_police | also.. i cannot get yoville to work at all.... gf is sad... :( | 02:09 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: ok well let's see if it works run this sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B it should not give any output just return to a prompt | 02:10 |
IdleOne | karma_police: you have flash installed? | 02:10 |
binMonkey | hi, guys. i found a smoking, black friday deal on a laptop. i researched it and found out that intel is stopping production of that processor. do i have to worry about that? | 02:10 |
karma_police | yes. | 02:10 |
karma_police | installed from the repo | 02:10 |
karma_police | nonfree also | 02:10 |
Madpilot | Billiard, UbuntuUser - add/remove is now the Ubuntu Software Centre. must admit I haven't used it much, but it's supposed to replace add/remove | 02:11 |
IdleOne | karma_police: the facebook games "play" slowly for me but they do work. | 02:11 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr: do I want to stop the nm-applet first? | 02:11 |
UbuntuUser | Madpilot, i know, i just don't understand why add/remove was replaced with something you can't do more than one thing at a time with | 02:11 |

trism | karma_police: there are a few flash apps that don't work so well on the linux version unfortunately, but I have found if you install the windows firefox and flash with wine they sometimes work...kind of an ugly way to do it though | 02:12 |
karma_police | i wonder what the issue with flash is with linux anyways.. works well with windoze.... adobe just buggy for linux? | 02:12 |
Madpilot | UbuntuUser, for real? hadn't realized it wouldn't queue stuff up... meh. Use synaptic. | 02:12 |
X-M4-X | hello is this right for ubuntu server edit? | 02:12 |
DJJeff | why doesn't SD Card readers work with ubuntu 9.10 out of the box? | 02:12 |
Madpilot | DJJeff, must depend on your reader. My basic one has always worked in Ubuntu. | 02:13 |
karma_police | my sd card reader worked fine out of box | 02:13 |
UbuntuUser | DJJeff, they do, you may just need to restart several times then just use suspend instead of shutting down. thats a workaround i use | 02:13 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: yes i thought asked you to kill all network managers it tries to take over everything | 02:13 |
karma_police | only thing i had to do wwith 9.10 was blacklict my usb wireless adapter | 02:13 |
y2b_ | hello | 02:13 |
UbuntuUser | on my laptop on startup usb devices are not detectd most the time, so i had to restart over and over and now just use suspend when i'm not using it | 02:14 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr Alright. I did that. Is that JUST nm-applet? | 02:14 |
UbuntuUser | i also had to remove power manager to stop the constand brightness flickering. so far these 2 workarounds don't give me any problems | 02:14 |
karma_police | i just wish network setup was easier | 02:14 |
UbuntuUser | constant* | 02:14 |
y2b_ | What's the difference between the karmic Desktop i386 CD and the Alternate i386 CD? | 02:15 |
Madpilot | UbuntuUser, 'restart again and again' is an ugly workaround | 02:15 |
karma_police | i have been using ubuntu for a month and a half now | 02:15 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: network manager in general | 02:15 |
UbuntuUser | madpilot, thats not my workaround, my workaround is leaving it on, and using suspend when not using it | 02:15 |
binMonkey | karma_police: are you on reddit? | 02:15 |
Madpilot | y2b_, the alternate is install-only, with the text-based more complex installer. desktop is the try-before-install liveCD + graphical installer. | 02:15 |
karma_police | i moved over from windows 7 | 02:15 |
karma_police | what is reddit? | 02:15 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: try and run that command | 02:16 |

UbuntuUser | nonamenn, it won't be out til at least december. i emailed them about that | 02:16 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : Alright. It just gave me a prompt again. | 02:16 |
nonamenn | IdleOne: its the old version | 02:16 |
xangua | mozplugger, gecko media, flash, can someone help me¿ | 02:17 |
UbuntuUser | nonamenn, first they said soon, then i said that doesn't answer my question, then i got a response saying december is the goal for now | 02:17 |
IdleOne | nonamenn: you know this is #ubuntu correct :) | 02:17 |
y2b_ | and, I created a bootable usb drive for ubuntu | 02:17 |

ctmjr | Zzarkc: that is a very good sign now the big test run this sudo dhclient wlan0 and you should see some connection info it might take a little while, what you are looking for is the lease info | 02:18 |

DJJeff | but I cant access it? | 02:18 |
rafase282 | is there any comman or program that will show what hardware i have? | 02:19 |
Madpilot | DJJeff, shove a card in, it should auto-mount anything | 02:19 |
DJJeff | rafase282: did you try "lspci and lsusb" in your terminal ? | 02:19 |
boomernang | rafase282: try installing sysinfo | 02:19 |
rafase282 | thanks | 02:20 |
rafase282 | i'll do that | 02:20 |
Madpilot | rafase282, the 1st tab of System Monitor will have some basic info - cpu, ram, hdd space. System->Prefs->System Monitor | 02:20 |
Confuzius | rashed2020, to get a very detailed list "sudo lshw" | 02:21 |
boomernang | rafase282: sysinfo will give you a nice layout. if you want more detailed information, you can try installing lshw, and then exporting that output into html with 'sudo lshw -html > myspecs.html' | 02:21 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr: It said "DHCPOFFERS received. ; No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." | 02:21 |
rashed2020 | what..? | 02:21 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr: Woops, I meant "No DHCPOFFERS received." | 02:21 |
Confuzius | good call boomernang | 02:21 |
Madpilot | cool - didn't know lshw would output HTML | 02:22 |
Confuzius | also looks like lshw is installed by default, on my relatively fresh 9.10 install unless it tagged along with something else | 02:22 |

Confuzius | also looks like lshw is installed by default, on my relatively fresh 9.10 install unless it tagged along with something else... and wow, that's a pretty nicely formated html output | 02:24 |
TheBoggey | i am trying to setup ftp, but the guide I am following does not specify the application for which the parameters provided are | 02:24 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : do i need to change anything in the network interfaces file? | 02:25 |
Confuzius | TheBoggey, probably vsftpd | 02:25 |
dan85 | what's the difference between logical and primary partitions? | 02:25 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: not yet | 02:25 |
TheBoggey | Confuzius, do you recommend that one? | 02:25 |
ctop | TheBoggey: why not use ssh since its more secure | 02:25 |
linuxguy2009 | Has anyone been able to get UFCE NES emulator to work from the 9.10 repos? | 02:25 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : Yeah, same response. | 02:25 |
TheBoggey | ctop, because it is for a home server where nobody else knows how to use ssh | 02:26 |
dan85 | bump | 02:26 |
TheBoggey | ctop, am I being stupid? | 02:26 |
linuxguy2009 | GFCE I mean. | 02:26 |
ctop | TheBoggey: if its behind a firewall and only for local use it should be fine | 02:26 |
TheBoggey | dan85, i think primaries are the only ones you can boot from | 02:26 |
TheBoggey | ctop, but can they access it through windows explorer, or even firefox? | 02:27 |
ctop | TheBoggey: they who? | 02:27 |
TheBoggey | the people in lan | 02:28 |
ctop | TheBoggey: ftp yes | 02:28 |
TheBoggey | ctop, yeah but not ssh | 02:28 |
TheBoggey | so i will use ftp | 02:28 |
ctop | TheBoggey: with ssh you can use winscp | 02:29 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: what guide where you using can you paste the link | 02:29 |
TheBoggey | ctop, its not like we're dealing with top secrets file here, so Ill use ftp | 02:29 |
TheBoggey | now, which ftp server do you recommend? | 02:29 |
TheBoggey | I had used one before that disconfigured itself weirdly | 02:29 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 | 02:29 |
Confuzius | TheBoggey, i think that there's a problem with the Karmic implementation with vsftpd, when I tried it it didn;t propperly create the ftp user... I havnt looked into alternates yet | 02:29 |
ctop | TheBoggey: ok | 02:29 |
Confuzius | vsftpd worked for me in jaunty but not karmic | 02:30 |
dan85 | I'm planning to make such partitions: /boot, /, /home, swap area. Which should be assigned as primaries, and which should be logical? Also, I'll might be, later on, add /backup. ALSO: placement of /boot, before / - is correct? | 02:30 |
dan85 | ...and which is - ext3, or ext4? | 02:31 |
TheBoggey | Confuzius, ctop, take a look at this page please :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer | 02:31 |
ctop | TheBoggey: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html | 02:31 |
TheBoggey | thanks ctop | 02:32 |
exarkun | Is there a log of what grub actions are taken during kernel package upgrades? | 02:32 |
TheBoggey | that looks useful | 02:32 |

Madpilot | Kor, see the comments here http://oldblog.wirelizard.ca/pivot/entry.php?id=101 - I had to retrieve my evolution settings/mailbox/etc from a dying hard drive not long ago | 02:38 |

exarkun | linuxguy2009: yes | 02:38 |
linuxguy2009 | exarkun: Ok Thank you | 02:38 |

epinky | zippo: understand* | 02:40 |
lockd | linuxguy2009, there are a ton of NES emulators? none work? | 02:41 |
conf | linuxguy2009, pretty much any nes emulator will look like garbage on a 52" hdtv..... | 02:41 |
BrodeurPC | KindOne: i always forget about using Wine for things, iv been working hard on fazing out anything to do with Windows | 02:41 |
BeeBuu | hi,there. | 02:41 |

shorthorn | newbie here. question about moving files from vista puter to 9.1 | 02:42 |
linuxguy2009 | Are there other GUI based NES emulators? | 02:42 |
KindOne | BrodeurPC: if you cant find out something through Linux, always resort wo Wine and Windows | 02:42 |
lockd | conf, zsnes is available for Linux, but it's x86-32 only | 02:42 |
conf | lockd, yeah, i was just downloading it for a guy at work, who dosn't have internet... | 02:42 |
KindOne | linuxguy2009: there are alot of Windows based emulators, buy uoi eill have to run them through Wine | 02:42 |
shorthorn | is this the right room for that kind of question? | 02:42 |
Madpilot | linuxguy2009, make sure Universe & Multiverse are enabled thru Software Sources, then search in Synaptic instead of the software centre | 02:42 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, KindOne: err, using Wine to find out video hardware status? that's a little over kill | 02:43 |
linuxguy2009 | Madpilot: Ok yeah there all enabled umm Ill try and search synaptic again cause I know it shows much more. | 02:43 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : Any ideas? | 02:43 |
BeeBuu | ~bot | 02:43 |
KindOne | lockd: its What I would do.... Its simple and it works.... | 02:43 |
lockd | KindOne, err, what's simple and works? | 02:43 |
conf | linuxguy2009, i just installed GFCE from the software center, it looks like a gui emulator... | 02:44 |
lockd | KindOne, now, testing a windows game in wine to see if the graphics are good.. now I would do that | 02:44 |
Madpilot | BeeBuu, most desktop apps have a Help->About entry; if you want to check a lot at once use packages.ubuntu.com | 02:44 |
BeeBuu | how can i check a program's version in ubuntu 9.10 ? | 02:44 |
linuxguy2009 | conf: Yeah used to work great except in 9.10 it freezes on every rom. | 02:44 |

Madpilot | BeeBuu, is what always work? | 02:45 |
BeeBuu | that way | 02:45 |
crazyivan | anyone know how to dualboot both windows and linux at the same time? | 02:46 |
linuxguy2009 | KindOne: True I might try that. Thats the one I loved back in the Windows days. | 02:46 |
crazyivan | i got linux installed first | 02:46 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: iv actually only had good luck running Windows programs through wine and not games, for some reason i can never get a game to not lag in wine | 02:46 |
FrozenFire | I'm sure many people have this issue; how do I make it so that when I change the main volume on my system, when viewing full-screen flash video, it does not close flash's full-screen view? | 02:46 |
BeeBuu | ~book | 02:46 |
BeeBuu | oh,no bot reply ? | 02:46 |

crazyivan | brodeurpc, how do i go about installing? | 02:47 |
BeeBuu | o,i got that,thanks. | 02:47 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: sorry got disconnected | 02:47 |
lockd | KindOne, it's just the chances are you have a program like nvidia-settings and that you can't run in wine | 02:48 |
epinky | ok, right click on task bar | 02:48 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : That's cool. I run a WPA2 here. | 02:48 |
BrodeurPC | crazyivan: add an app called Playing in Linux you can find it right in the Ubuntu Software Center | 02:48 |
epinky | zippo: ok, right click on task bar | 02:48 |

Madpilot | shorthorn, can you change that dropdown to your user? | 02:51 |
zippo | great! =) | 02:51 |
tommy27 | so some one is watching what i do | 02:51 |
zippo | epinky: great =) | 02:51 |

tommy27 | shit how do i stop it | 02:51 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: the laptop i think has nvidia gforce3 but thats why im wanting some way to find that out for sure | 02:52 |
IdleOne | tommy27: where did you see that message? | 02:52 |
epinky | zippo: is it done?, there must be an icon on task bar | 02:52 |
n8tuser | !language | tommy27 | 02:52 |
ubottu | tommy27: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:52 |
Madpilot | shorthorn, can you change any of the permissions options in that Properties window? | 02:52 |
shorthorn | madpilot: at the bottom it says 'you are not the owner, so you may not change these files' | 02:52 |
shorthorn | madpilot: they are all greyed out | 02:52 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr : How's it coming? | 02:53 |
Madpilot | shorthorn, ah, OK. you're going to have to use the terminal and the sudo command to fix this | 02:53 |
ss_ | what: i tried but it gives error cant find codec | 02:53 |
shorthorn | k | 02:53 |
tommy27 | i was puting my pass in synaptic then i got the pass wrong then a window poped saying Waring Some one my be eavs droping on your session | 02:53 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, yeah, use nvidia-settings | 02:53 |
Madpilot | shorthorn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal - look for the section on "chown" | 02:53 |
shorthorn | madpilot: can you give me detailed commands to do it? I have very little experience with linux | 02:53 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, if that's not installed you don't even have the drivers on | 02:53 |
shorthorn | madpilot: thnx | 02:54 |
Madpilot | shorthorn, I'll do what I can. Where are the files? In a couple of directories? | 02:54 |
ctmjr | Zzarkc: here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf http://pastebin.com/m739ba874 you need to add your info and go into the interfaces file and comment out the wireless stuff for now then you need to reboot to flush the interfaces | 02:54 |
IdleOne | tommy27: what version of ubuntu? I tried putting in wrong pass in synaptic and did not get that | 02:54 |
tommy27 | xuubntu 9.04 | 02:54 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, did you get a little notice about restricted drivers manager? | 02:54 |
shorthorn | madpilot: they are in many folders. It's my entire music colletion | 02:55 |
Madpilot | shorthorn, just realized 'chown' isn't explained on the page I sent you to. Sorry. | 02:55 |
IdleOne | tommy27: not sure how xubuntu handles that situation. might try asking in #xubuntu to see if it is normal | 02:55 |
trism | tommy27: might be related to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/134474 | 02:55 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: i was just going to ask you about the restricted drivers, it never popped up saying it | 02:55 |

twogigovercu | hi, i am seeking help on a mail server problem"no route to host", when sending to gmail or any external server, i am using dovecot and postfix on 9.10 any suggestions would be much appreciated. | 02:56 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: and if i try to scan to see if i do need it, it gives no results says not needed | 02:56 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, type 'lspci | grep VGA' | 02:56 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, or just 'lspci' and pastebin the results | 02:56 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, that means no nVidia, more than likely | 02:57 |
shorthorn | madpilot: they are all centrally located in a main folder, so if changing the permissions on the main folder would change perms for all the subdirectories, I may just change the main one | 02:57 |
Madpilot | shorthorn, PM me and I'll try and walk you through this - easier than trying this in channel | 02:57 |

BrodeurPC | lockd: only graphic issues i have ever had have been with Wine just very very laggy | 03:07 |

DaZ | dan45: ext4 is considered stable and it's faster than ext3 so you should use it ;f | 03:09 |
medhat | DaZ: People should guide me, what attracted me to linux and open source was that volunteers used to be very coperative and helpful, few weeks ago people in the Debian room told a guy who was refusing to help because i asked the wrong question is that linux geeks should say there is no wrong question but only wrong answer and that's the spirit | 03:09 |

BrodeurPC | lockd: i know, ill probably give it a shot ubuntu is easy to reinstall if i need to anyways | 03:10 |
Zzarkc | ctmjr :Actually I need to get going. Thanks for the help I appreciate it. | 03:10 |
lockd | Archanamiya, you need to copy the java plugin to your mozilla directory | 03:10 |
lockd | Archanamiya, err, link, not copy | 03:11 |
Archanamiya | lockd: How do I do that :S | 03:11 |
DaZ | dan45: possible, i've heard it but it was a long time ago | 03:11 |
extor | I just fresh installed ubuntu server and did an apt update/upgrade but it tells me that 3 packages are being "held back" without giving me a reason | 03:11 |
medhat | beachwood23: I'm going to ask, but later I need to complain for the sake of your community no more, just cause I believe in you guys and you're time you're donating to help us. My question is that when I try to update from karmic beta to the final all the packages needed have been downloaded, after it downloaded them I got an error while fetching the packages (IP connectino error) I'm going to post the error hold on because I have to reinstall the updates to | 03:12 |

Archanamiya | lockd: iunno. i have both. which would be better. | 03:13 |
DaZ | dan45: doesn't matter | 03:13 |
IdleOne | beachwood23: all yours :P | 03:13 |

BrodeurPC | lockd: alright well that will give me something to work on tomorrow. thank you for your help | 03:15 |
siropio | hardbop200: i dont want the documantation i want the C code | 03:16 |
DaZ | dan45: you don't need logical as you an have 4 primary partitions | 03:16 |
dan45 | DaZ: maybe /backup will be added... | 03:16 |
DaZ | dan45: why would you need something like that? :f | 03:16 |

I've been mess`n with this on and off all day,..] | 03:18 |
beachwood23 | @idleone: sorry man i have to go to bed. if you could help idlehat, that'd be great. idlehat, just keep the faith, we're all people, and nobody is purposefully ignoring anyone. when you complain about the same people trying to help you, it doesn't really make them want to help you. | 03:18 |
Madpilot | Kor, you're welcome. glad it helped. | 03:18 |
lockd | Archanamiya, ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib ... pastebin that | 03:18 |
dan45 | DaZ: what's the difference between primary and logical? | 03:18 |
medhat | beachwood23: It just keeps on fetching 605 files out of 605 then I get that error "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.1/libmysqlclient16_5.1.37-1ubuntu5_i386.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] | 03:18 |
Archanamiya | lockd: k | 03:18 |
lockd | Archanamiya, really sucks that Ubuntu can't write decent packages | 03:18 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: yeah its going to be shared memory just trying to figure out how much is shared with it | 03:18 |
lockd | Archanamiya, they're all missing a symlink here or there | 03:18 |
Archanamiya | ah | 03:18 |
trism | sir/lastlog siropio | 03:19 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, I assume ATI's stuff lets you set that, not sure | 03:19 |
dan45 | DaZ: ??? | 03:19 |
DaZ | dan45: do some resarch | 03:19 |
trism | siropio: use dpkg -S command_name to find out what package it is in then apt-get source package_name | 03:19 |
medhat | DaZ: beachwood who shold help left can you give a look at my problem? | 03:19 |
DaZ | in practice there are almost none | 03:19 |
dan45 | DaZ: o-k-a-y... :D | 03:19 |
siropio | trism this will get the C code? | 03:19 |
boomernang | dan45: just make / and /boot and /home primary.. and then swap logical | 03:20 |
dan45 | ok | 03:20 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: yes and usually right in the bios but its not there. something that is set and cant be changed | 03:20 |
medhat | DaZ: It just keeps on fetching 605 files out of 605 then I get that error "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.1/libmysqlclient16_5.1.37-1ubuntu5_i386.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] | 03:20 |
siropio | do you have a tutorial ? | 03:20 |
dan45 | DaZ: thx alote! bye... | 03:20 |
IdleOne | medhat: try changing the server you get the updates from in Software Sources. | 03:20 |
trism | siropio: it will download the source code to the package into the current directory...whether it is C or not depends on the package | 03:20 |
medhat | IdleOne: I did that, I'm going to give it another try though. | 03:20 |
Archanamiya | lockd: http://pastebin.com/m7eb0306a | 03:20 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: i was hoping to see how much was taken from physical memory but it just reports the entire GB of ram | 03:21 |
DaZ | medhat: paste the whole log somewhere | 03:21 |
siropio | i wanted to see SORT trism | 03:21 |
medhat | DaZ: from the log viewer? | 03:21 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15698 | 03:21 |
DaZ | is it the first or last package | 03:21 |
medhat | DaZ: last | 03:22 |
trism | siropio: apt-get source coreutils | 03:22 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, there's a POSSIBLE way to change it by adding an option to Xorg but it's a joke, ATI drivers tend to crash | 03:22 |
siropio | ok thanks trism :) | 03:22 |
Archanamiya | lockd: http://pastebin.com/m7eb0306a | 03:22 |
DaZ | medhat: if nothing helps then remove it and do an upgrade | 03:22 |
DaZ | mysql isnt vital <: | 03:22 |
=== vic is now known as Guest28939 |
medhat | DaZ: To remove it I should empty the /tmp? | 03:23 |
lockd | Archanamiya, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 03:23 |
lockd | Archanamiya, that should work | 03:23 |
Archanamiya | lockd: ill try it | 03:23 |
medhat | IdleOne: changing the servers didn't work | 03:23 |
lockd | Archanamiya, note: if java is working in Firefox already, things are fishy | 03:24 |
DaZ | medhat: apt-get | 03:24 |
Archanamiya | lockd: k.. | 03:24 |
lockd | Archanamiya, well, was it? | 03:24 |
IdleOne | medhat: you could try what DaZ suggested. uninstall mysql then upgrade | 03:24 |
Archanamiya | lockd: iunno. havent used FF in ages | 03:24 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: yeah ill try the ATI catlst on it and see if it works, but i will probably just stick to the basics, it runs enough of the eye candy to make ubuntu impressive enough for people to switch from Windows | 03:24 |
medhat | IdleOne: how can i do that, can you tell me the step? | 03:24 |
cdi | anyone know of something I can use to view .tef file extensions in ubuntu? | 03:24 |
TheBoggey | how do I give myself read and write permissions for a folder I do not own? | 03:25 |
IdleOne | medhat: search mysql in Synaptic and uninstall | 03:25 |
lockd | BrodeurPC, just... tell them to buy an nVidia or an Intel graphics chipset... | 03:25 |
TheBoggey | chmod +rw /home/ftp ? | 03:25 |
medhat | IdleOne: ok thanks | 03:25 |
extor | I just fresh installed ubuntu server and did an apt update/upgrade but it tells me that 3 packages are being "held back" without giving me a reason | 03:25 |
Archanamiya | TheBoggey: yeah. are you the owner? | 03:25 |
TheBoggey | Archanamiya, no | 03:25 |
TheBoggey | Archanamiya, but if I do that it says operation not permited | 03:25 |
DaZ | TheBoggey: o+rw | 03:25 |
Archanamiya | TheBoggey: then run... | 03:25 |
Archanamiya | ahhh | 03:25 |
Archanamiya | sudo | 03:25 |
TheBoggey | it gives permissions to root user | 03:26 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: yeah nvidia seems to work great with linux | 03:26 |
TheBoggey | (i think, because I am still not able to) | 03:26 |
Archanamiya | TheBoggey: do sudo chown YOURUSERNAME /home/ftp | 03:26 |
TheBoggey | I have to own it? | 03:26 |
Archanamiya | TheBoggey: Then chmod it | 03:26 |
Madpilot | TheBoggey, "chown" is change ownership | 03:26 |
Archanamiya | TheBoggey: basically | 03:26 |
hardbop200 | does anyone know how to start firefox in such a way that it *doesn't* attempt to reload your last tabs? firefox -safe-mode doesn't seem to work... | 03:26 |
TheBoggey | Madpilot, thanks I know | 03:26 |
Archanamiya | hardbop200: it in preferences dialog | 03:27 |
Archanamiya | hardbop200: tell it not to | 03:27 |
DaZ | hardbop200: --hide-porn | 03:27 |
Jeruvy | hardbop200: don't presever sessions, don't recall the method off my head | 03:27 |
Archanamiya | DaZ: lawl | 03:27 |
TheBoggey | Archanamiya, but this whole thing I am doing is because I need to use FTP with vsftpd, but I think that user [ftp] needs to be the owner of the folder | 03:27 |
Jeruvy | hardbop200: preserve | 03:27 |
hardbop200 | Archanamiya: unfortunately, I can't get it to start to get to the preferences dialog | 03:27 |
Archanamiya | hardbop200: Why not? | 03:27 |
hardbop200 | DaZ: lol ;) | 03:27 |
TheBoggey | DaZ, lol, now ff has private browsing :) | 03:27 |
TheBoggey | sorry for killing the joje | 03:28 |
Archanamiya | lockd: didn't work | 03:28 |
medhat | IdleOne: DaZ: It worked thanks alot =) | 03:28 |
TheBoggey | joke* | 03:28 |
hardbop200 | Archanamiya: attempts to start, then I get "bus error". been happening a lot with various apps since the update yesterday | 03:28 |
Archanamiya | :S | 03:28 |
lockd | Archanamiya, about:plugins | 03:28 |
Archanamiya | k | 03:28 |
DaZ | medhat: did you reinstall the mysql? ;f | 03:28 |
BrodeurPC | lockd: now if i can only find a way to get rid of that ugly Windows key on my keyboard :p | 03:28 |
medhat | Should i do that before updating or after? | 03:29 |
Cuddles | how do I restart a program? | 03:29 |
medhat | DaZ: I didn't | 03:29 |
BoriTori | when i 'screen -r' it says there is one scree nruning. i try opening it by screen -r ID, but doesn't work "There is no screen to be resumed matching 32088" | 03:29 |
DaZ | so you don't know yet | 03:29 |
Archanamiya | lockd: it has a spot for java, " libjavaplugin_oji.so", but says that no mime types are associated with it | 03:29 |
spridel | BrodeurPC, a flat head screw driver can do that | 03:29 |
IdleOne | medhat: welcome, in the future please try to keep calm, support is not always available on demand :) | 03:29 |
Archanamiya | lockd: nor does it have a heading like all the others (it SHOULD say "Java...") | 03:29 |
Archanamiya | :S | 03:29 |
BrodeurPC | spridel: black marker worked pretty good too | 03:29 |

spridel | BrodeurPC, well done! | 03:30 |
Archanamiya | lockd: bash: locate: command not found ;-; | 03:30 |
ardchoille | what do the load numbers mean? Load: 0.25 0.08 0.09 | 03:31 |
lockd | Archanamiya, oh, fun. you have to install that, and then updatedb | 03:31 |
Archanamiya | lock: :S | 03:31 |

Guest71463 | Is Make USB Startup Disk supposed to work? | 03:33 |
lockd | Archanamiya, not sure if that's even possible | 03:33 |
crazyivan | every time i close the terminal and reopen it the scroll bar and title bare go away by default | 03:33 |
Archanamiya | lockd: :S. How long will updatedb take? | 03:33 |
lockd | depends on how much junk that needs to be updated | 03:34 |
crazyivan | Is there any way to make my Terminal keep the scroll bar and title bar on by default | 03:34 |
Madpilot | crazyivan, check your gnome-terminal options, you must have turned those off | 03:34 |
Archanamiya | lockd: crap | 03:34 |
crazyivan | Madpilot, thx | 03:34 |
crazyivan | madpilot, how do i check my gnome-terminal options? do i just type that commmand in the terminal? | 03:34 |
lockd | Archanamiya, and yes if you're the type of person who stays up in the middle of the night you might notice a slow down due to it happening automatically | 03:35 |
bishop_ | bbak | 03:35 |
Madpilot | crazyivan, Edit->Profile Preferences | 03:35 |

rheaghen | its been about 2 hours now | 03:45 |
rheaghen | ist that too long? | 03:45 |
Newbuntu2 | I'm trying to fix my boot loader. I installed a second copy of windows which squished grub, and I can't get it to reinstall. | 03:45 |
Madpilot | rheaghen, it probably should have been done by now... did you do an error check on the CD before starting the install? | 03:45 |
Archanamiya | lockd: it finished | 03:45 |

ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 03:45 |
crazyivan | wow | 03:45 |
Newbuntu2 | the double boot instructions dont work | 03:45 |
rheaghen | no... I didnt do an error check =( | 03:46 |
crazyivan | why did so many people quit at once? | 03:46 |
BrodeurPC | crazyivan: no problem, all these people here are having frustrations and can use a good laugh | 03:46 |
lockd | Archanamiya, heh... looks like your missing the plugin altogether | 03:46 |
Madpilot | crazyivan, netsplit. see what the bot posted | 03:46 |
Archanamiya | lockd: what do? | 03:46 |
jadakren | lol | 03:46 |
Archanamiya | lockd: it returned /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so | 03:46 |
jadakren | read-fail | 03:46 |
lockd | Archanamiya, that is just the symlink you made... which is almost certainly "red" | 03:46 |

Jeruvy | switch263: whats happening? | 04:35 |
switch263 | i just get an error that says 'failed to get list' or something, sec | 04:36 |
switch263 | i can see the workgroup, but i need to access a share inside it. heh. | 04:36 |
fonebone | hrmm... i keep starting my squid proxy server.. and it looks like it starts.. then it stops after a bit... weird | 04:36 |

Jeruvy | switch263: I think I've see a bug for that : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1082148 | 04:37 |
acovrig | yes, I can ssh into my mac, but not into my ubuntu | 04:37 |
ardchoille | bastidrazor: You're welcome | 04:37 |

acovrig | newst before 9 | 04:37 |
Jeruvy | switch263: hope it helps :) | 04:37 |
acovrig | yes | 04:37 |
acovrig | I tried sshd, but package not found, so I am just sticking w/ openssh-server | 04:38 |
rhorse | acovrig: are both computers on the same network? I.e. have you tried to ssh from a remote location? | 04:38 |
chuckf | can you pastebin the output of netstat -an|grep 22 | 04:38 |
acovrig | tried both | 04:38 |

acovrig | rhorse, I have tried host names (ssh user@ubuntu.local) and ip addresses (ssh user@ip.address.to.ubuntu) | 04:39 |
acovrig | from my mac term and got nothing, I have another Ubuntu on a different cp that I can ssh into, so it isn't my mac | 04:39 |
Newbuntu2 | arand: do you happen to know how to update grub? the wiki entry doesn't explain how to add another windows entry | 04:39 |
rhorse | acovrig: sometimes trying to ssh from within the network, even when using ip address, gives bad results. | 04:40 |
arand | Newbuntu2: it should be able to auto-detect using " sudo update-grub2 " | 04:40 |
acovrig | I was able to to it before I reinstalled 8, and before I updated to 9 (before I reinstalled 8) | 04:40 |
acovrig | I had to reinstall 8 (instead of 9) because of a lack of audio drivers and setting options | 04:41 |

W9ZEB | DaZ: thanks for trying though. I really do appreciate it. | 04:41 |
acovrig | yes (netstat -lt | grep ssh) 22 is listed | 04:41 |
acovrig | I think that is the cmd | 04:42 |
rhorse | acovrig: try it with a proxy | 04:42 |

EntityReborn | Jeruvy, would you have any ideas into why Ubuntu reports my CPU doesn't support scaling, when with Fedora scaling worked fine? | 04:50 |
webbb82 | can someone in here take a look at this when i download the nautilus file it says you already have the latest nautilus installed | 04:50 |

Madpilot | spiky25, language. also, "all ati is crap" is... not actually helpful... | 04:51 |
Jeruvy | EntityReborn: probably due to the kernel, not all ubuntu's kernels are equal (nor with other distros) | 04:51 |
EntityReborn | Hm. | 04:51 |
DaZ | damn | 04:52 |
Bookman | anyone? | 04:52 |
spiky25 | Madpilot that mean never buy an Ati again !!! | 04:53 |
Madpilot | spiky25, mine works just fine. ymmv. | 04:53 |
DaZ | spiky25: go to bed | 04:53 |
DaZ | now ;f | 04:53 |
W9ZEB | spiky25: I actually like buying ATI graphics cards. Because unlike their closest competitor, they actually share their engineering docs with the XOrg Developers. | 04:53 |
spiky25 | Ati forums are sometimes spammed by peoples for that and Ati remove all about this ... | 04:53 |

Jordan_U | W9ZEB: poulsbo is the unfortunate exception, there are going to release open source drivers for it though | 04:56 |
Bookman | Ok, I guess not and the new bug reporting system is so hard to use.....not worth the effort. | 04:56 |

acovrig | If I `ssh user@localhost` it works, if I use a different computer, `ssh user@ubuntu.local` I get "nodename nor servname provided or not known", if I `ssh user@ip.address.of.ubuntu` I get "Operation timed out" - no firewall | 04:57 |

ubottu | webbb82: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 04:58 |

acovrig | W9ZEB, would `netstat -lt | grep ssh` tell you? | 05:00 |
Bookman | Wow, I guess so | 05:00 |
W9ZEB | acovrig: installing openssh-server now | 05:00 |
daedaluz | DaZ: because Qt4 based KDE apps demand much less oackages to function | 05:00 |

W9ZEB | Bookman: it's possible nobody currently here knows the answer to your question.? | 05:00 |

hyperstream | Jordan_U, just going to buy and put a nvidia card in it, much easier, thanks tho | 05:01 |
Flannel | webbb82: Just remove nautilus via the package manager (and ubuntu-desktop will come along with it) | 05:01 |

unfunf | but i create folders that represent the year&month of that particular file | 05:04 |
skyl | Madpilot, cool, thanks I had a CD that said it checked but I burned it in 29 seconds ... I seem to remember it taking 10 minutes before .... | 05:04 |
webbb82 | oh and it also uninstalls gnome-session and nautilus share | 05:04 |
unfunf | but the year/month is incorrect because i am accessing the file as it is created by fuse, not the original file | 05:04 |
unfunf | so do you have any idea how to get the original file path? | 05:04 |
unfunf | for example, i copy the file from somewhere outside of fuse, i need to get that path. | 05:05 |
webbb82 | how can i remove nautilus without removing those gnome-session,nautilus-share and ubuntu-desktop | 05:05 |

skyl | sometimes the first one I burn checks out and works ... but usually ... probably more like 45% ... like a house-rules coin flip game | 05:24 |
W9ZEB | acovrig: that's strage. you've got no firewall running, and you've got ssh listening on 0.0.0.0:12 | 05:24 |
W9ZEB | s/12/22 | 05:24 |
Madpilot | baseballer790, ask an actual question. | 05:24 |
EntityReborn | any way to set a default Nice value for a program? | 05:25 |
EntityReborn | for any user? | 05:25 |
baseballer790 | My CD drive is broken...and I'm too lazy to disect my computer to fix it...can I install Ubuntu without a CD? | 05:25 |
W9ZEB | baseballer790: sure, first bit of help. press the key one to the left of "a" on your keyboard. next remove it. | 05:25 |
Flannel | baseballer790: Yes. | 05:25 |
BadSector | I have tired installing Ubuntu and Mythbuntu 9.10..from iso and web launcher thing on a system that has XP. Everytime I get it to install. and It comes to the menu where it ask if I want to start XP or Ubuntu. I select Ubuntu but it shows another "Select OS" screen that only shows XP.. what am I doing wrong? | 05:25 |
jackeveryman | Flannel: Oh I know, I have a little file with all the how-tos from previous installs. There's stuff like the subversion nautilus utility and phpmyadmin etc. etc. that are all set up and ready to go with this though. Ah well, when I get the chance to do a clean install it'll probably work | 05:25 |
BadSector | (after it sucessfully installs .. ) | 05:26 |
skyl | if I keep playing I will definitely win some ... but the more I play the more I ultimately lose :D baseballer790 yep, you can install from usb .. how do you think the netbook has ubuntu :D | 05:26 |
MagicOvercast | Hi all.. | 05:26 |
acovrig | baseballer790, If you can use windows ;) or another cp w/ a cd drive, you can put it on a flashdrive, then install it | 05:26 |
W9ZEB | acovrig: I'm at a bit of a loss regarding your ssh problem. that one's got me stumped. | 05:26 |
baseballer790 | O shit I'm being versioned | 05:26 |
W9ZEB | acovrig: I'm not going to insult you by asking if you're sure you've got the right address :) | 05:26 |
venger | EntityReborn, maybe /etc/security/limits.conf | 05:26 |
EntityReborn | venger, will look | 05:27 |
acovrig | that's ok, common mistake, but I have my DHCP server map the address to the MAC address, and I can access it w/ that ip address via port 80 (Abyss Web Server X1) | 05:27 |
ScottG489 | What does it mean if I run a dpkg --status <package> and it returns "Status: purge reinstreq half-configured" | 05:28 |
acovrig | I might try a different port later (its 11:28PM) - ttfn | 05:28 |
W9ZEB | 73 acovrig | 05:28 |
acovrig | thanks | 05:29 |
BadSector | Am I asking my question incorrectly or something? lol | 05:32 |
goose | what'a good program to edit a web page with? I don't feel like playing with the whole thing in gedit. | 05:32 |
W9ZEB | goose: so suggesting vim is right out. | 05:33 |
itilious | could some one please help me open a port or verify my port is open on my karmic installation? | 05:34 |
Madpilot | goose, screem or bluefish. | 05:34 |

Drake | Hey guys, i need a general question answered and its sort of ... vague so googling hasn't shown much promise | 05:41 |
Trezker | I think that'd be a cool thing | 05:41 |
goose | ask, Drake | 05:41 |
Drake | what would you say in website development is most important to learn | 05:41 |
Drake | I just learnt XHTML, javascript and CSS | 05:41 |
spO | is there a command to automatically go to the previous direcotry one was in? | 05:42 |
BadSector | I am invisible or my question sucks? :( | 05:42 |
Drake | cd - | 05:42 |
Drake | spO: cd - | 05:42 |
Drake | spO: although thats only in command line | 05:42 |
code08311 | Awesome, just learned something! beats the heck out of Yahoo chat (that was years ago for me) | 05:43 |
Drake | spO: if your looking for keyboard short cuts i think its alt + left arrow key, though don't quote me on that | 05:43 |

Madpilot | Drake, start with basic HTML & CSS. Can't go wrong there. | 05:48 |
spO | http://tinyurl.com/y9das4b <--- why can't this bug be assigned to anyone(s) ? I cannot play 1080p movies because of this bug and since I have did a fresh install of karmic | 05:49 |
Drake | Madpilot: I already got that (well most of CSS) and javascript, though i'm a little perplexed as to what else to go into, A part of me says PHP, another AJAX, i kind of want to avoid XML, i don't know why but it just annoys me | 05:50 |

kotslon | have a problem with vsftpd virtual user authentication http://pastebin.com/m7883e37 can you help me? | 05:51 |
spO | why isn't that bug assigned to anyone? how does this process work? | 05:51 |
Drake | Madpilot: thanks thats a good suggestion, there were too many channels to search through and i'm using mirc at the moment and it hasn't got any sorting things like xChat | 05:52 |
indus | spO, the bug has to have all the info required by the devs then only it will be assigned to someone | 05:52 |
Madpilot | sp0, almost all bug sorting & triage is done by volunteers. And there's lots of bugs. | 05:53 |
=== USBuntu is now known as USBxD |
spO | so it has to have enough info for the person to be able to fix it | 05:53 |
spO | then someone can simply code it | 05:53 |
spO | is that what you are saying? | 05:53 |
indus | sp0 eah | 05:53 |

giantpune | ok, i got some more info about the laptop auto hibernating bug | 05:54 |
Madpilot | sp0, it's been confirmed and marked as High importance, so the fact that it's not explicitly assigned isn't huge | 05:54 |
giantpune | when i unplug the cord, i am told that the battery is dead and the laptop dies | 05:54 |
indus | it doesnt matter if it s confirmed, it wont be taken up unless there is all data | 05:54 |
indus | giantpune, yes battery is dead, acer ? | 05:55 |
=== iceberg_ is now known as iceberg |
giantpune | but i did cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state and it says my battery is not dead | 05:55 |
Madpilot | indus, not always true. Depends on the bug and what it's in. | 05:55 |
indus | ya that is true also | 05:55 |
giantpune | is it ok to paste 5 lines in here? | 05:55 |
indus | no | 05:55 |

Serena-ko | hello~ | 05:57 |
spO | indus, the bug mostly affects 3000+ ati cards... if you try to enable fglrx , then xwindows will not boot up.... you will mostly get a flashing console login screen until you delete xorg.conf .... which in turn also disables the driver | 05:57 |
alert2 | chinese always write ~ instead of =) | 05:57 |
Serena-ko | ? | 05:57 |
spO | madpilot, if it is high importance , then i think it not being assigned to anyone is a big deal/huge | 05:57 |
Serena-ko | a... | 05:58 |
spO | indus, it does not affect 4000+ series cards, i think | 05:58 |
spO | i speculate that it might be related to refresh rate | 05:58 |
Madpilot | sp0, different teams have different practices, I've no idea how the graphic card/drive folks do business | 05:58 |
indus | sp0 go to #ubuntu-bugs for ore speedy help on this | 05:59 |

alert2 | your crazy dude | 06:01 |
Madpilot | moszer, it's quite likely running by default already | 06:01 |
indus | indus:tvtime is a brilliant piece of software which lets you view television on your pc.Its lightweight and easy to configure and gets you up and running in a minute. :) | 06:01 |
dave99 | does anyone on know any abut bt878 tuner card | 06:01 |
indus | i filled in on ubottu :D | 06:01 |
moszer | i'm using ubuntu with virtual box, can the effect still work? | 06:02 |
indus | dave99: there is help on tvtime site | 06:02 |
dave99 | really | 06:02 |
indus | dave99: yeah | 06:02 |
dave99 | i can't find the cardlist | 06:02 |
indus | dave99: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/ | 06:02 |
indus | dave99: which card is it? can i see dmesg output? | 06:03 |
dave99 | it's the audio | 06:03 |
dave99 | i can't get the audio to work | 06:03 |
Younder | tvtime is written in perl.. | 06:03 |
moszer | Madpilot: i have install awn, i click on it, "screen isnt composited, please run compiz" ive just install compiz, am i doing the right thing? | 06:04 |
kevdog | does ubuntu supply libs with their mingw32 packages? Is this the correct channel to ask this? | 06:04 |
Flare-Laptop | kevdog: yes | 06:04 |
dave99 | ok | 06:04 |
Madpilot | moszer, never used ubuntu in a VM/v-box, nor awn, so can't really help. I don't even run compiz, can't stand it. Metacity is better. | 06:04 |
moszer | Madpilot: remove compiz? then install Metacity? | 06:05 |
Trezker | just did a search for bluefish in ubuntu software center, and I got two with seemingly no difference... Why? | 06:05 |
kevdog | Flare_laptop: where because within my /usr/i586-mingw32msvc directory I'm not finding a pkgconfig or sys-root directory! | 06:06 |
Madpilot | moszer, metacity doesn't do any of the shiny compositing special effects compiz does. which is why I like it. | 06:06 |
moszer | Madpilot: & why cant ubuntu be used in v-box? | 06:06 |
Flare-Laptop | kevdog: Now that is beyond me | 06:06 |
lstarnes | moszer: it can be used in vbox | 06:06 |
dave99 | would ati hstv wonder card work | 06:06 |
lstarnes | moszer: but visual effects might not be able to be used in it | 06:06 |
dave99 | hdtv | 06:06 |
kevdog | Flare_Laptop: I'm wondering if this might not be the correct channel to ask this | 06:06 |

Madpilot | moszer, it can be. It is a lot. Not sure if compiz works there though. | 06:07 |
Younder | kevdog, mingw32 is a windows library | 06:07 |
e3n|4c | exit | 06:07 |
kevdog | Younder: Yes I'm trying to cross compile | 06:07 |
moszer | thanks | 06:07 |
kevdog | Younder: Yes I'm trying to cross compile Handbrake | 06:07 |
e3n|4c | que pasada | 06:08 |
Younder | kevdog, first and formost you need the cross compiler version of gcc | 06:08 |
moszer | thats all, thanks y'all | 06:08 |
moszer | bye | 06:08 |
kevdog | Younder: Doesnt mingw provide this? | 06:08 |
dave99 | the tvtime site does really have much help | 06:09 |
dave99 | doesn't | 06:09 |
dave99 | sorry | 06:09 |
Younder | kevdog, though since you are using the same processor (ix86) it is mostly for setting some parameters | 06:09 |

Younder | kevdog, as such it doesn't cross compile | 06:10 |
Younder | kevdog, but, if I understand you correctly you want to PORT a linux app Handbrake to Windows? | 06:11 |
kevdog | Younder: yes | 06:11 |
kevdog | Younder: cross compile -- which they have some instructions on the Handbrake site how to do -- but it seems mingw32 installed from repository doesn't come with a full set of libraries on ubuntu | 06:12 |
Younder | kevdog, a cross compile is translating from one processor arcitecture to another | 06:13 |

zane | CHESLYN, you didn't add the temp to make a temp folder | 06:34 |
Dayspring | it's not there | 06:35 |
ron-l-j | to use MKDIR you need to supply a file name after it | 06:35 |
Dayspring | i deleted it by accident from there | 06:35 |
zane | Madpilot, ohh i see but its not registering when i pess the volume key to assign it | 06:35 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring are you using 9.10 ? | 06:35 |
Dayspring | yes | 06:35 |
ron-l-j | ok just open your applications menu | 06:35 |
ron-l-j | then go to the bottom | 06:36 |
Madpilot | zane, odd. usually no issues with that; my MS multimedia keyboard works and configures fine | 06:36 |
ron-l-j | and click on ubuntu software center | 06:36 |
ron-l-j | then click on sound & video | 06:36 |
zane | Madpilot, yeah i dont know whats up.. its a dell xps 16 | 06:37 |
zane | Madpilot, on windows i had to install a quickset thing to get it to work | 06:37 |
ron-l-j | then scroll down to banshee | 06:37 |

Dayspring | banshee is already installed but i have no way to launch it because i can not add it to my menus because i deleted the shortcut and cannot get it back | 06:38 |
ron-l-j | hit alt F2 | 06:39 |
indus | can i disable cool and quiet with cpu freq scaling? | 06:39 |
indus | !firewall | 06:40 |
ubottu | 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 | 06:40 |
ron-l-j | DAYSPRING | 06:40 |
Dayspring | yes? | 06:40 |
ron-l-j | go to system preferences > main menu it should still be in there | 06:41 |
ron-l-j | you can add it back to your menu | 06:41 |
indus | can i disable cool and quiet with cpu freq scaling? | 06:41 |
indus | can i disable cool and quiet with cpu freq scaling? | 06:41 |

FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 06:42 |
ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 06:42 |

asmodeus | hee haa | 06:42 |
indus | i mean, does it speed up game performance | 06:43 |
Dayspring | ok i'm ready | 06:43 |
lstarnes | indus: if you use cpufreq's ondemand governor (which is default, I think) then it should automatically adjust the cpu frequency as needed | 06:43 |
indus | lstarnes: well, i have my doubts thats why | 06:43 |

Blackshadow | well i want to use perl | 07:25 |
Blackshadow | i can't | 07:25 |

Blackshadow | any suggestions? | 07:25 |
Jordan_U | Blackshadow: Why can't you? | 07:25 |
lstarnes | heisoundfunny333: if I knew an answer, I would, but I don't know. Sorry | 07:25 |
maco | Younder: i figured telling them that in english wouldnt work so great ;) | 07:25 |
Blackshadow | dunno i am trying to start it from shell | 07:26 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: what happens when you start it? | 07:26 |
heisoundfunny333 | well then find someone who does should be talking then | 07:26 |
lstarnes | heisoundfunny333: we can hear you and there might be someone else here that might know. also, try the forums | 07:26 |
Jordan_U | maco: Just so you know !es will give a message saying that in spanish, and there are similar messages for all language channels | 07:26 |
maco | Jordan_U: i know, but someone had already done that and been ignored | 07:27 |
heisoundfunny333 | yeah a google search does nothing pretty much | 07:27 |
kcj1993 | it did it again | 07:27 |

ron-l-j | __IMPORT__THIS | 07:28 |
Jordan_U | Blackshadow: What happens when you try to run a perl script? Please be verry specific about what is going wrong or we can't help you | 07:28 |
kcj1993 | anyone got any ideas? | 07:29 |
Blackshadow | i told u i can;t see that when i write sudo perl :D | 07:29 |
ron-l-j | dayspring did you"cd"into desktop and then type"ls" | 07:29 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: perl should not be run as root | 07:29 |
Jordan_U | Blackshadow: Can't see what? | 07:29 |
Blackshadow | i am a root | 07:29 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: check the permissions of /usr/bin/perl | 07:29 |
Blackshadow | i mean my user is root | 07:29 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: get a regular user | 07:30 |
Jordan_U | Blackshadow: Please explain exactly what you are doing, and what error you get doing it | 07:30 |
Blackshadow | same with that too | 07:30 |
ron-l-j | Blackshadow can you locate the bin perl file in your path ? | 07:30 |
Blackshadow | yes its there | 07:30 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: make sure the the script that you are trying to execute is marked as executable (use chmod +x scriptname) | 07:30 |
ron-l-j | Blackshadow did you chmod it? | 07:30 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: or use perl scriptname | 07:31 |
Blackshadow | ahmm no i guess | 07:31 |
ron-l-j | Blackshadow "chmod 777" | 07:31 |
Dayspring | yes, nothing listed with banshee | 07:31 |
lstarnes | kcj1993: try reinstalling firefox | 07:32 |
Blackshadow | ahmm k lemme try | 07:32 |
ron-l-j | dayspring good that is the location you accedently deleted it from before | 07:32 |
lstarnes | kcj1993: if that fails, remove your ~/.mozilla/firefox or ~/.mozilla or move it elsewhere | 07:32 |
ron-l-j | dayspring cd .. | 07:32 |
ron-l-j | sorry | 07:32 |
lstarnes | kcj1993: removing those will erase your settings | 07:32 |
Dayspring | type cd .. ? | 07:32 |
Dayspring | ok done | 07:33 |
pfred1 | Hi. I'm new to Ubuntu and was wondering how I could change my color depth in X? | 07:33 |

heisoundfunny333 | damn this | 07:34 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: 24 is the same as 32 if that is why you are asking | 07:34 |
kcj1993 | crashed again, i think it's java | 07:34 |
maco | heisoundfunny333: the forums really are the place to ask questions about weird hardware | 07:34 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U really I see no way of even checking it yet. | 07:34 |
maco | heisoundfunny333: because they dont depend on you and the other person with the same hardware being around at the same time | 07:34 |
Blackshadow | well i got that solved | 07:34 |
heisoundfunny333 | links | 07:34 |
maco | heisoundfunny333: ubuntuforums.org | 07:35 |

bobo | hey guys, i'm trying to rip a home movie dvd to a avi (or any movie format for that matter) and I've tried like 5 diff programs and nothing has worked cuz itz either been terrible quailty or just an error | 07:38 |
CHESLYN | guys i have a problem with my drive i can find it or see it. but when i switch on the pc it shows that it has detected it.any idea whats wrong? | 07:38 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring that should take care of it. one final check is to open your synaptic package manager under admin | 07:38 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Yes, all distros are ( or will be ) using no xorg.conf by default | 07:38 |
Dayspring | ok | 07:38 |
pfred1 | CHESLYN I use mencoder from mplayer | 07:38 |
Blackshadow | any perl programmer?? | 07:38 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: You can still create one if you need one | 07:38 |
om26er | !ot | Blackshadow | 07:38 |
ubottu | Blackshadow: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:38 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: this channel is for ubuntu only | 07:39 |
CHESLYN | pfred1: what do mean? | 07:39 |
lstarnes | Blackshadow: #perl can help with perl | 07:39 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U I've seen different opinions about that on some forums I was lead to from Google so I am not entirely sure if that is 100% accurate or not. | 07:39 |
Blackshadow | ok | 07:39 |
Jordan_U | bobo: Try handbrake | 07:39 |
CHESLYN | pfred1: what do you mean? | 07:39 |
pfred1 | CHESLYN what i mean is I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. | 07:39 |
bobo | lol, that's what i'm actually tryin right now. prayin that it'll work | 07:39 |
ron-l-j | dayspring click on the lower left of the package manager "status" | 07:40 |
CHESLYN | pfred1:k but do you have a slave? | 07:40 |
Dayspring | ok...done | 07:40 |
pfred1 | CHESLYN beyond that the resolutions setup are inadequate. | 07:40 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring select "installed" and scrool down to banchee click it and mark it for complete removal | 07:41 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Upsream Xorg has slowly been depending less and less on an Xorg.conf and doing more autodetection, Ubuntu does not need an Xorg.conf anymore and therefore doesn't ship one by default ( though it will add one if you change the default, for instance installing nvidia drivers through Hardware Drivers ) | 07:41 |
pfred1 | CHESLYN I'm new to Ubuntu but not exactly new to Linux I have seen things working better. | 07:41 |
Dayspring | ok done | 07:41 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring remove it apply changes | 07:41 |
osvaldo | how to fix | 07:41 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U well I hate to break it to anyone but I had better hardware detection in 2003 | 07:41 |
Dayspring | alright...that part is done | 07:41 |
osvaldo | missing dependences | 07:41 |
Keu | Hi. I'm running 9.10 on a desktop. I can't seem to prevent my display from going to sleep after 10 minutes. I've set Display sleep time to Never in Power Management and tried to activate the Sleep Inhibit applet but neither seem to work. Screensaver is disabled. Any ideas? | 07:42 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: What gfx card? | 07:42 |
CHESLYN | pfred1: so any idea that i can show my slave drive on ubuntu | 07:42 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U and got the XF86Config files to prove it too! | 07:42 |
Dayspring | so should i install it in the software center? | 07:42 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Anecdotes don't really mean much :) | 07:42 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring reinstall it and you should be good as new :D | 07:42 |
ron-l-j | dayspring yes thats fine :D | 07:43 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U sec let me check | 07:43 |
Dayspring | ok just installed....let's see what happens | 07:43 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF | 07:43 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Though a slightly more meaningfull anecdote is that I see a *lot* less questions about not getting full resolution in this channel now than a few years ago | 07:44 |
ron-l-j | CHESLYN do you have gparted installed ? | 07:44 |
Blackshadow | run the cfdisk cheslyn | 07:44 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring fingers srossed :D | 07:44 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U oh i have full resolution it is the dozen other resolutions I seem to be missing | 07:44 |
Dayspring | :-$ didn't work | 07:44 |
Blackshadow | in console | 07:44 |
Lostinspace_46 | I did a "sudo remove --purge" on gimp. I have about 125 files left over. How can I get full permissions on all the files at once, so I can just select them all, and move them to trash? | 07:44 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U that and i am getting horrible artifacts on my screen when I drag a window | 07:45 |
ron-l-j | ok then go to the banchee site down load the tar file and install it in a seperate directory :D | 07:45 |
KindOne | pfred1: i think this is helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510606 | 07:45 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U which is why I want to check the dolor depth and hopefully change it to something that'll make that stop! | 07:45 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Try turing off compiz ( desktop effects in System > Preferences > Appearance ) and can you pastebin the output of "xrandr" ? | 07:46 |

Dayspring | oh well, thanks for your help ron.....i appreciate your time | 07:46 |
Jeruvy | muri_one; have you looked at ubuntu desktop recently? | 07:46 |
Blackshadow | good bye all need to have my hands on new language lol | 07:46 |
Jay360 | is the downloads for Pc or 360? | 07:47 |
ron-l-j | dayspring download source tarrball | 07:47 |

kcj1993 | anyone? | 07:47 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U really I'm just hoping to make the artifacts go away | 07:47 |

CHESLYN | Blackshadow: i have gmail n than what? | 07:49 |
=== DaZ_ is now known as DaZ |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn you have to unmount it. there is a great graphical tool called gparted that makes it so easy, we could use the command line all day but it would be easier to install gparted | 07:49 |
muri_one | Jordan_U: I mean a guide of suggested hardware. Such and such motherboard, cpu, network card, video card and so on. Something like the ars system guides, but with some linux/ubuntu focus | 07:49 |
Dayspring | DaZ, i screwed up my Banshee....trying to get it back | 07:49 |

newby | i have a sound issue with a EMU10k1 and I was wondering if anyone can help me.... I have search everywhere but all the possible solutions don't seem to work | 07:50 |
Dayspring | ok | 07:50 |
* DaZ doesn't see the point :c | 07:50 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U typically I don't go in for nonsense like that and turn that sort of thing off but its been off. | 07:51 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring put the banshee tar ball in the folder | 07:51 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: there is'nt even a caommand that i can execute in terminal to get gparted? | 07:51 |

arvind_khadri | hi,how do i create user writable ext3 partitions? | 07:52 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U yes is there like an xf86config like app for xorg? | 07:52 |
Jordan_U | muri_one: You can buy a computer from system76 or Dell http://dell.com/ubuntu | 07:52 |
Madpilot | ron-l-j, "sudo apt-get install gparted" will likely work better... | 07:52 |
arvind_khadri | ron-l-j, you missed install | 07:53 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring open your mb folder and click the tar ball and use the extract here option | 07:53 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Xorg --configure | 07:53 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U because something tells me this is configged like garbage now | 07:53 |
newby | sound works only in front channel | 07:53 |

ron-l-j | Madpilot yes thankyou :D | 07:53 |
Lostinspace_46 | OK. If I drop to root from the CD's boot menu how much control over the system do I actually have. For instance, can I delete and create files and folders? | 07:54 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Sorry, only one dash ( -configure ) | 07:54 |
Dayspring | ok got it | 07:54 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U OK | 07:54 |
muri_one | Jordan_U: that might be exactly what I need, thanks | 07:54 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: I doube that artifacts would be caused by misconfiguration, sounds like a driver problem to me | 07:54 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U one more question run that in an xterm in X or drop to a console and run it? | 07:54 |
Jordan_U | muri_one: np | 07:55 |
Dayspring | and i cd to the mb folder | 07:55 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U I doubt i am using the correct driver | 07:55 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Console | 07:55 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring now you need to get in side that folder using the command line can you get there ? | 07:55 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: must i install it without verification? | 07:55 |
newby | any suggestions? | 07:55 |
CHESLYN | Blackshadow: k i'll do so | 07:55 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U this system has run Ubuntu 6.04 I believe it was and it didn't do these things | 07:55 |
Blackshadow | ok | 07:55 |
Farroos | Hi | 07:55 |

Farroos | Anyone developing symbian software on ubuntu? | 07:57 |
Dayspring | or is it sudo apt-get make install ? | 07:57 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U usually I'm a nvidia kind of a guy but I'm fresh out now | 07:57 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring neither | 07:57 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: It's the proprietary ati driver, it's never been installed by default so you would have had to install it yourself | 07:57 |
Dayspring | oh crap...:( | 07:57 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring we are going to compile it from source | 07:57 |
Dayspring | ok what is it? | 07:57 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U at this stage of the game if it fixes what is going on I'd give it a shot but I am just thinking the wrong driver is running | 07:58 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 07:58 |

Lostinspace_46 | Jordan_U, when I do "sudo -i" then I use "sudo password root" and enter a password | 08:30 |

Using search feature I found all the left over files. I want to select them all, and delete them all at once. To do this I need to have full permissions on all the files and folders, and the tut said that "sudo -i" etc. would do it | 08:34 |
skyl | I guess it's time to check into booting from usb ... | 08:34 |
jone1 | booting my raid1 drops me to the busybox with alert md0 not found, typing mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 within the busybox works like a charm...any ideas? | 08:35 |
lstarnes | jonz: the pages are often changed but the editors often leave the BSD signatures | 08:35 |
skyl | why can the install not back up and try again where there was an IO error? | 08:35 |
ron-l-j | skyl Unetbootin works great | 08:35 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U bbiab | 08:36 |
skyl | ron-l-j, yeah, that's how I did this netbook that I'm typing on | 08:36 |
Jordan_U | Lostinspace_46: You don't need to enable anything to use sudo -i, and you don't want to run "sudo passwd root" unless you really know what you are doing | 08:36 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: yes it ask me y/n | 08:36 |
andrew[andrboot] | Hi guys, running 9.10 ubuntu server, wanting to make eth0 & eth1 brdiged i.e. eth3 (same subnet etc) i know it can be done in windows.. haven't gotten to work on ubuntu here is my interfaces: (it loops back on itself) http://pastebin.com/d68bbb658 | 08:36 |
ron-l-j | cool U was running UNR then went to moblin | 08:36 |
* andrew[andrboot] sighs | 08:36 |
gerzel | hey I want to log-into my computer using ssl. How do I look up the adress for it? | 08:36 |
skyl | but seems a little odd for the desktop ... I wonder if the bios will even let me boot from usb .. | 08:36 |
andrew[andrboot] | bazhang any ideas? | 08:36 |
lstarnes | gerzel: ssh, you mean? | 08:37 |
ron-l-j | CHESLYN type Y and hit enter | 08:37 |
gerzel | ssh yeah | 08:37 |
jonz | rww: (just curious if you actually found yourself at a different man page or what) - did yu find that signature I showed you? or are you still not seeing that in your man page? | 08:37 |
gerzel | sorry its late | 08:37 |
lstarnes | gerzel: you can use ifconfig to find the local address | 08:37 |
Lostinspace_46 | Jordan_U, OK. I'll accept that, but why does it not give me full permissions? | 08:37 |
blackduck | check your ipconfig | 08:37 |
blackduck | ifconfig | 08:37 |
Younder | gerzel, you don't. But if you are alread loggen in use ifaddress to figure it out | 08:37 |
Younder | ifconfig, sorry | 08:38 |
Lostinspace_46 | Jordan_U, Or am I missing something here? | 08:38 |
lstarnes | gerzel: if you are behind a router, you'll need to use the router's public IP and forward its port 22 to your computer's port 22 | 08:38 |
Jordan_U | Lostinspace_46: What permissions does it not give you? What command are you running and what error are you getting ( after running sudo -i )? | 08:38 |
inki-68 | Hi all, anyone here that could assist me concerning that sound is 'lost' in ubuntu 9.10 - it was there but not anymore | 08:38 |
rww | jonz: from the look of it, the manpage reader I was using strips that line out, but it's in the actual manpage. So never mind what I said :\ | 08:38 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: i did it n it says The following packages cannot be authenticated! | 08:38 |
Younder | gerzel, on the whole it totally depends how you set up your computer | 08:38 |
=== zeltak2 is now known as zeltak |
chrispitzer | hi all. I added a partition to install 9.10 I'm not quite ready to kill my 9.4 partition yet, but I resized it down a bit, and want to add that space to my 9.10 partition... the problem is, gparted will let me move/resize the 9.4 partition, but I can't edit the 9.10 partition. This is true even if I'm running off of the 9,10 live cd. Any ideas? | 08:38 |
jonz | interesting. alright, have a good night everyone | 08:38 |
Younder | gerzel, like do you have a stationary IP or do you use DHCP | 08:38 |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn you have to up date your sources list in the package manager | 08:39 |
blackduck | gerzel: u can use "netstat -nlt" to check if your server is listening the port 22 | 08:39 |
andrew[andrboot] | inki-68 check alsa/pulse.. mostlikey pulse fails :) | 08:39 |
rww | chrispitzer: does the partition have a lock icon next to it when you run off the LiveCD? | 08:39 |
lstarnes | gerzel: make sure that openssh-server is installed | 08:40 |
inki-68 | Someone having problem with the sound in Ubuntu 9.10 ? | 08:40 |
Younder | gerzel, do you have a hostname,a nd does the 'a?' lan see it etc | 08:40 |
neriko | I'm back again | 08:40 |
Lostinspace_46 | Jordan_U, No error. The tut said "sudo -i" would be temporarily like logging in as root, which you can't do. And that it would give me full permission on all files and folders. | 08:40 |
AniX | sh: inxi: not found | 08:40 |
neriko | I'm still getting the following: | 08:40 |
chrispitzer | no. Let me clarify. I can shrink the partition, but can't move it or make it biger (even though I have free space before the partition...) | 08:40 |
skyl | this is when all those tons of cheap commodity hardware from 1999 really come back to bite you in arse | 08:40 |
paulandbecky | hi i am trying to install vista in my ubuntu system help | 08:40 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: i tried it once and it failed also. any idea/ | 08:40 |
lstarnes | Lostinspace_46: only within the shell in which it is run | 08:40 |
dragonfist | hi | 08:40 |
dragonfist | i have a problem | 08:40 |
gerzel | younder for one computer yes the other I need to check | 08:40 |
dragonfist | about printing | 08:40 |
Jordan_U | Lostinspace_46: And what makes you think "sudo -i" didn't do exactly that? | 08:40 |
gerzel | thanks I think I got it | 08:40 |
lstarnes | Lostinspace_46: running it in the terminal won't make the rest of the desktop run as root | 08:40 |
inki-68 | #ubuntu-se | 08:41 |

paulandbecky | how do install vista in a ubuntu system | 08:41 |
Lostinspace_46 | lstarnes, AHA, so only in the terminal?? | 08:41 |
gerzel | I think it uses dhcp But for now I'm just accessing w/in the local network. | 08:41 |
lstarnes | Lostinspace_46: yes | 08:41 |
gerzel | so ifconfig should be enouhg | 08:42 |
lstarnes | Lostinspace_46: try alt+f2 then gksudo nautilus | 08:42 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/f130573a3 | 08:42 |
lstarnes | neriko: I think you added the repos incorrectly | 08:42 |
neriko | I haven't made any changes | 08:42 |
blackduck | gerzel, do u know the ip address of the server? | 08:42 |
neriko | My computer has been working fine until yesterday | 08:42 |
paulandbecky | how do install vista over ubuntu | 08:42 |
Madpilot | lstarnes, Lostinspace_46 - be incredibly careful running gksudo nautilus - you can wreck your system in one click... | 08:42 |
Lostinspace_46 | lstarnes, Hmm, never thought of that. It sounds like that is what I need | 08:43 |
bazhang | paulandbecky, you wish to dual boot or erase ubuntu | 08:43 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Sorry, it's late, remove the extra quote after "ati" | 08:43 |
gerzel | blackduck: Which server? The one I have set up? or the one I connect to for my isp? | 08:43 |
lstarnes | Lostinspace_46: just remember to be extremely careful | 08:43 |
lstarnes | gerzel: the one that you want to connect to using ssh | 08:43 |
gerzel | Yes | 08:43 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U heh OK but hey I'll come back tomorrow OK? | 08:43 |
blackduck | gerzel, I mean the server which you would like to log on | 08:43 |
gerzel | yes | 08:43 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Ok, I won't be here :) | 08:44 |
neriko | If my repos is fubar'd, how do I fix it? | 08:44 |
ron-l-j | CHESLYN apt-get install debian-archive-keyring | 08:44 |
ron-l-j | apt-get update | 08:44 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U no? when then? | 08:44 |
paulandbecky | i have install ubuntu over written vista now gone but need to install vista now | 08:44 |
rww | neriko: from the look of it, you copied the command at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repository into something instead of running it. | 08:44 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Wednesday | 08:44 |
AniX | Nvidia 190.42 works fine for ubuntu 9.10 | 08:44 |
lstarnes | neriko: edit /etc/apt/sources.list or the appropriate file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 08:44 |
gerzel | night I'm gonna turn in If I have more questions I'll asl later. thanks for the help | 08:44 |
Cody574 | Hey guys, I'm using Wubi with Ubuntu Jaunty, what are the changes in Ubuntu Karmic? | 08:45 |
Lostinspace_46 | Madhu___, I have a folder with left over files from purging gimp, those are all I want to mess with. Doing a chown and chnod on each individual file take forever | 08:45 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: is'nt it a problem at the authorizations?perhaps | 08:45 |
blackduck | good night~ | 08:45 |
Cody574 | I haven't used it in a while, so I'd like to know what the upgrade does | 08:45 |
Lostinspace_46 | *chmod | 08:45 |
pfred1 | Jordan_U I made a note of it C U then! | 08:45 |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn apt-get update | 08:45 |
Jordan_U | pfred1: Bye | 08:45 |
ron-l-j | cheslyn sudo apt-get install update | 08:45 |
Ramseize | what will i put it cron to make a application start everytime i switch my computer on | 08:46 |
lstarnes | CHESLYN: I think he means sudo apt-get update | 08:46 |
Ramseize | what will i put it crontab to make a application start everytime i switch my computer on | 08:46 |
lstarnes | Ramseize: @reboot command | 08:46 |
ron-l-j | if its an auth problem become root type sudo bash and then run the command | 08:46 |
Madpilot | Lostinspace_46, you know both chmod and chown can do resursive changes, right? | 08:46 |
FireCrotch | Lostinspace_46: you can do chmod 777 * (or whatever chmod you need) | 08:46 |
Dayspring | THANKS A TON RON!!! and everyone else who helped me!! worked like a charm after i purged and reinstalled!!! | 08:46 |
Ramseize | ok | 08:46 |
lstarnes | Dayspring: I think I was the one that recommended that | 08:47 |
Ramseize | lstarnes, ok ill try that one | 08:47 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring !!! SWEET :D | 08:47 |
Madpilot | Lostinspace_46, also, "leftover" sounds like a good way to delete something some other part of the system is still using. Are you that short of harddrive space? | 08:47 |
blackduck | crontab -e? maybe? | 08:47 |
trogedo | i don't think so | 08:47 |
Dayspring | yes you did lstarnes!!! very much appreciated!! and i got it added back to my menus!!!!! SUH_WEEEEET!!!! :D | 08:47 |
chrispitzer | does anyone have a better tool to use for partition editing than gparted? | 08:47 |
trogedo | fdisk | 08:47 |
paulandbecky | help need to install vista on a ubuntu system | 08:47 |
Lostinspace_46 | Madhu___, Yes, but I have sever folders and 125 individual files. I did a nautilus search | 08:48 |
Younder | paulandbecky, that is tricky, windows doesn't understand ext3 | 08:48 |
rww | paulandbecky: Do you want to replace Ubuntu with Vista, or install Vista alongside Ubuntu, or run Vista inside Ubuntu? | 08:48 |
ShapeShifter499 | hi | 08:48 |
Lostinspace_46 | Madhu___, No but the newest gimp I got from thier site said to fully remove the old gimp | 08:48 |
paulandbecky | along side | 08:48 |
Dayspring | ok, so i'm pretty much a n00b with Linux....how did you guys get so good with the coding and such?? | 08:48 |
paulandbecky | or can i run it inside ubuntu | 08:48 |
Younder | paulandbecky, I guess I should ask if you are using NTFS or ext3? | 08:49 |
neriko | rww, I just ran the command on that website in Terminal, and still get the 404 not found error | 08:49 |
ron-l-j | Dayspring MAKE AND BREAK | 08:49 |
paulandbecky | what is ext3 | 08:49 |
ShapeShifter499 | rww: don't forget ubuntu portable | 08:49 |
ShapeShifter499 | rww: its ubuntu inside of windows | 08:49 |
rww | ShapeShifter499: which is the opposite of what the user asked for =/ | 08:49 |
blackduck | ext3 is the file system which linux uses | 08:49 |
ShapeShifter499 | oh... | 08:49 |
blackduck | and windows use ntfs | 08:49 |
lstarnes | paulandbecky: it's one of linux's main file systems | 08:49 |
blackduck | U can not install windows on ext3 | 08:50 |
Lostinspace_46 | Dayspring, Practice and asking questions and killing the install now and then...lol | 08:50 |
Younder | paulandbecky, it is a lot easier to install windows first and the ubuntu | 08:50 |
Dayspring | i have a hard time memorizing and remembering codes!! lol | 08:50 |
lstarnes | paulandbecky: ext4 is starting to replace it | 08:50 |
paulandbecky | ext3 then | 08:50 |
daniel1 | Hi! Does enyone know who can I ask questions about Why Ubuntu won't boot on a HP Probook NX626EA laptop and how can I fix it? | 08:50 |

daniel1 | haven't tried it yet... | 08:53 |
neriko | rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329169 | 08:53 |
Younder | paulandbecky, ok formatting make you loose all the data so back it up first | 08:53 |
neriko | And thanks for helping :) | 08:53 |
blackduck | daniel1: so where do u stop now? a black screen does not help~ | 08:53 |
Younder | paulandbecky, if you don't already have one get a USB drive, they are cheap these days | 08:53 |
paulandbecky | how do i format it i dont understand this system | 08:53 |
blackduck | daniel1: more info is needed. | 08:54 |
rww | neriko: delete the last line in that document (the one ending in "--output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 08:54 |
=== elky is now known as elky` |
ron-l-j | cheslyn does your package manager work ? | 08:54 |
rww | neriko: "), then try "sudo apt-get update". | 08:54 |
paulandbecky | windows is easier to use | 08:54 |
daniel1 | ok i'll try to get in to bios and get more info | 08:54 |
rww | neriko: sorry, I phrased that badly. Delete that last line, save the document, then run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal. | 08:54 |
ShapeShifter499 | I'm about to patch a ubuntu kernel......before I compile/install is it ok to preform this with the following command? "make menuconfig" THAN "make && make modules_install && make install" | 08:54 |

paulandbecky | so how do i format the harddrive if using ubuntu then | 08:56 |
Younder | paulandbecky, I find ubuntu easier to use.. | 08:56 |
trasktrojanek | blackduck, I mean the /dev. There's a command to read what was just plugged in, but I can't recall it. | 08:56 |
federico79 | Hello, can anybody help me to set a bluetooth HEADSET in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic? | 08:56 |

om26er | paulandbecky, right click on the partition and format | 08:56 |
neriko | WOOHOO! Thanks rww | 08:56 |
rww | trasktrojanek: if you run "dmesg", the last few lines might be informative? | 08:56 |
trasktrojanek | rww, yes, thank you! | 08:57 |
rww | neriko: is it all working now, or are you back to that unauthenticated error? | 08:57 |

paulandbecky | yes but i need a vrml program and it does not work on this system | 08:57 |
rww | trasktrojanek: glad I could jog your memory :) | 08:57 |

Cody574 | What are the changes in Ubuntu Karmic? I'm still using Jaunty for some reason :S | 08:59 |
om26er | !whatsnew | Cody574 | 08:59 |
federico79 | I can pair my bluetooth headset in Karmic but I don't get sound | 09:00 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: what text file ,n not install yes | 09:00 |
federico79 | I guess pulseaudio don't recognize my bluetooth headset | 09:00 |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn if that doesnt work if you have a live cd and a usb you can copy your sources list to the usb from a running live cd ahen go back to your running hard disk install and copy the usb sources file and replace and be good to go | 09:00 |
rww | Cody574: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910overview | 09:00 |
RomD | I can't change my account password. I've tried "passwd" and "users and groups" and both tell me that changing the password was successful. however, opening the update manager or logging in after logging out still require me to type my old password. does anyone know how to fix that? | 09:00 |
paulandbecky | or do i just buy a new hard drive | 09:00 |
Cody574 | @rww: Thanks | 09:00 |
ron-l-j | /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:01 |
federico79 | How can I find out why pulseaudio did not recognize my headset bluetooth? | 09:01 |
paulandbecky | is that easier | 09:01 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: okay thanks lot | 09:02 |
owen1_ | when i type alsamixer i get 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' any tips? | 09:02 |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn you can open a terminal amd replace that file I will give you a copy of mine. it will work if your running 9.10 | 09:02 |
AniX | federico79 u can try blueman | 09:02 |
Lostinspace_46 | Madhu___, I opened a browser at root. Did <ctrl + h" then <alt> + g and finally "s". so I have all the files in one window. I tried <alt> + F2 and ran "gksudo nautilus" However I still don't have permissions to delete. Any other idea on how to delete them all at once? | 09:03 |
ActionParsnip1 | yo yo yo | 09:03 |
paulandbecky | any ideas what should do i need to run this vrml program | 09:03 |
paulandbecky | for my course | 09:03 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: okay let me try it | 09:04 |
Younder | paulandbecky, a browser.. | 09:04 |
ActionParsnip1 | !info freewrl | 09:04 |
ubottu | Package freewrl does not exist in karmic | 09:04 |
federico79 | AniX I also tried blueman. BB headset paired but I can't get sound | 09:04 |
paulandbecky | what you mean | 09:04 |
ActionParsnip1 | paulandbecky: you may find its a windows app, you can try wine but you may find it runs weird, check the appdb | 09:05 |
ActionParsnip1 | !appdb | 09:05 |
ubottu | 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 | 09:05 |
Younder | virtual reality meta language is a web standard | 09:05 |
ActionParsnip1 | !info vrml-browser | 09:05 |
ubottu | Package vrml-browser does not exist in karmic | 09:05 |
Younder | VRML | 09:05 |
federico79 | AniX I guess the bluetooth headset will not recognize as a sound driver by pulse audio | 09:05 |
blackduck | Is there a way to run itunes on ubuntu? | 09:05 |
paulandbecky | no i have tried that | 09:05 |
RomD | nevermind, I was prepending "sudo" to "passwd". worked without it | 09:05 |
bazhang | blackduck, nope | 09:05 |
blackduck | sigh~ | 09:05 |

paulandbecky | trying it now | 09:12 |

federico79 | AniX any other thoughts than I could try? | 09:13 |
DannyButterman | ActionParsnip1: True :s | 09:13 |
ActionParsnip1 | DannyButterman: where is known_hosts stored? | 09:14 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: no luck its my package | 09:14 |
DannyButterman | under .ssh in the user directory (root in this case) | 09:14 |
DannyButterman | perms are ok | 09:14 |
DannyButterman | ActionParsnip1: under .ssh in the user directory (root in this case). the server OS is debian lenny and client is jaunty | 09:15 |
ActionParsnip1 | DannyButterman: my ssh server doesn't have anything in ~/.ssh | 09:16 |
Younder | SSH is a bit of work to set up yes, but if you follow the recepie it works ok | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip1 | DannyButterman: then ask in #debian | 09:16 |
stanman246 | anyone using Krusader? | 09:16 |
DannyButterman | That's what'im doing, but it's a cross problem | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip1 | DannyButterman: the server clearly needs configuring, the client should just connect. Its the servers job to organise connectivity etc | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip1 | DannyButterman: try connecting as another user, it may ork. If not, its the server | 09:17 |
apple | does Ubuntu run well on the ASUS eee 1005 netbook? | 09:17 |

Younder | DannyButterman, do you have a sourceforge accout? | 09:18 |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn http://paste.ubuntu.com/329177/ go there and open a terminal type cd/ then cd ect/apt then gedit sources.list that will open gedit cut all the text out of your gedit file and past in rfom the url I just gave you then save your getid file and pow your golden ! | 09:18 |
apple | cool -- just checking if there were known issues/probs | 09:18 |
Younder | DannyButterman, if you can connect to that then it is the server. | 09:18 |
ActionParsnip1 | apple: that wasnt part of the question | 09:18 |
ActionParsnip1 | apple: it will install and run, you'd have to look at the hardware and find guides etc | 09:19 |
ron-l-j | Cheslyn do you follow that ???? | 09:19 |

todkon | can someone help maybe? | 09:22 |
todkon | does not work in root either | 09:22 |
blackduck | zerq: you fix your problem? | 09:22 |
ron-l-j | cheslyn then type cd etc/apt | 09:22 |
Steel__ | todkon: sudo ? | 09:23 |
zerq | blackduck: once i rebooted i realised i couldn't install wicd.. but then i went into network manager and deleted the connection and made a new one and it worked :) | 09:23 |
DaZ | todkon: should work as root ;f | 09:23 |
paulandbecky | how do i get to run virtual box | 09:23 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: i must type cd than type cd ect/apt correct | 09:23 |
blackduck | zerq: cong~ | 09:23 |
DaZ | it even has to ;f | 09:23 |
todkon | Steel__: I get this error when using sudo: "Home directory $HOME not ours." | 09:23 |

ActionParsnip1 | paulandbecky: its in the applications menu some place | 09:23 |
paulandbecky | yes | 09:23 |
DJones | CHESLYN: Its cd /etc/apt, not cd ect/apt | 09:23 |

todkon | zerq: I agree about wicd, I've been using it for the last month, works flawlessly | 09:24 |
antonius | wicd > network-manager | 09:24 |
ron-l-j | CHESLYN yes correct | 09:24 |
ActionParsnip1 | paulandbecky: you need to reboot after you install the software | 09:24 |
DaZ | nonscrolling window makes me look stupid >: | 09:25 |
Steel__ | todkon: is that the sudo output? | 09:25 |
todkon | Steel__: yes | 09:25 |
zerq | blackduck: yeah, actually used it on another laptop quite a while ago, then forgot about it when this version came with two other network managers that don't seem to do quite as good a job.. | 09:25 |
ActionParsnip1 | antonius: interfaces file > all | 09:25 |
zerq | for now i'm just glad to have internet in linux, not gonna mess with it any more tonight hehe | 09:25 |
ron-l-j | CHESLYN then gedit sources.list | 09:26 |
Steel__ | did you check your FS permissions for root on /root and the alsa file ? | 09:26 |
CHESLYN | ron-l-j: after that ? | 09:26 |
todkon | Steel__: I find the only way to get my sound settings to work each time, I have to run gnome-volume-control where I have to unmutem, then raise the volume, alsamixer doesn't work | 09:26 |
todkon | hmm, nope, good point, I'll look at that | 09:26 |

owen1_ | fireball: also what do u see when u type 'aplay -l' | 09:34 |
rww | aboeing: oh, I think I see what's going on here. Do you mean i386 (as in, 32-bit and the opposite of amd64)? | 09:34 |
zerq | ActionParsnip1: yeah, that's how i would normally do it honestly but when you're using all kinds of random access points and you need to be able to just plug in whatever limited info they give you and have it work, net manager things can be great | 09:34 |
Younder | aboeing, have you considered a cross compile of the kernel? | 09:34 |
fireball | owen: I see "alsamixer v1.0.20" | 09:34 |
ActionParsnip1 | zerq: not had a problem so far, horses for courses lad | 09:35 |

rww | aboeing: 1) Pentium M chips use the i686 chipset. 2) Ubuntu does not have a specifically i386 kernel. 3) If you're getting unsupported chipset errors, it's either because you're using an amd64 install, or because of a bug. | 09:37 |

mot1 | Quicky for y'all. I purchased a 1Tb external drive yesterday that connects to my box via eSata connection. I want to use it to store all my music and movies but also want to share it out to all other machines on my network (1 Apple Mac, 1 Windows Machine and 1 Linux machine) I tried setting the permissions using the command line but I can't seem to access the drive from any other computers on my network.

darksector | quick wierd question, i transferred my updates and packages from /var/cache/apt/archives to a different machine and did a dpkg -i *.deb, gives me lotsa broken packages, why does this happen when i know i have all the packages installed on the former machine using apt. and is there a way to do this using dpkg correctly ? | 09:51 |
fireball_ | i have no sound, but card recognised, please help | 09:52 |
ActionParsnip1 | darksector: you can run: sudo apt-get -f install | 09:52 |
Antagonist | *sigh* What a surprise, it DID stuff something up, now X wont start at all | 09:52 |
darksector | ActionParsnip1: that'll just do it online | 09:52 |

kandjar | hi | 09:52 |
blackduck | startx? | 09:52 |
kandjar | i m having a sound issue with ubuntu karmic | 09:52 |
ActionParsnip1 | darksector: then you'll have to use apt-get to download the package(s) you need | 09:53 |
nul | can anyone tell me how I can force sound to my USB headset? I've tried everything I found on google, but it doesn't work.. I need to output sound to headset only for video -- anyone hav ea clue? | 09:53 |
Younder | darksector, you don't tranfer packages in that way | 09:53 |
kandjar | when i play a video, the sound stops working after few second; to get it back i need to readjust the volume in the systray (top right corner of the screen) | 09:53 |
ActionParsnip1 | darksector: you must have satisfied deps on the system you downloaded so the deb wasnt downloaded | 09:53 |
darksector | ActionParsnip1: ah ok | 09:53 |
kandjar | is there a way to fix that? | 09:53 |
kandjar | it seems to have happened after an updatre | 09:53 |
Younder | darksector, liux file system just isn't that consistent | 09:53 |
darksector | Younder: ok, so its just online installation then | 09:53 |
ActionParsnip1 | darksector: you can tell apt-get to only download debs if you want | 09:54 |
darksector | ActionParsnip1: yeah ok thanks a lot | 09:54 |
Antagonist | So it said it make a backup of my X config file. Where would I find the backup and the new one? | 09:54 |
ActionParsnip1 | np | 09:54 |
darksector | Younder: thanks | 09:54 |
Younder | darksector, the problem is you are not updating the soft links. You would have to ln -s the whole lot | 09:54 |
owen1_ | ActionParsnip1: now i see that i belong to 'audio'. my alsamixer still refuse to open and aplay -l still shows 'no soundcards found'. do u think restart will help? | 09:55 |
ActionParsnip1 | Antagonist: /etc/X11 probably xorg.conf with todays date attatched in some way | 09:55 |

lukas____ | I'm trying to setup the kernel modules and although there are no problems in compilations, the module fails to load. First question would be, where would I find logging for this issue? | 10:03 |
Younder | mot1, maybe I have been lucky, but I have never had a problem installing NVIDEA drivers.. | 10:03 |
lukas____ | "/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start" ends in "fail", but that doesn't tell me much. | 10:03 |
Antagonist | ActionParsnip1: nivida repo? | 10:03 |
mot1 | ActionParsnip1, Yeah I did that, and got it to work but then after doing a update in Ubuntu it must have changed the xorg.conf file as after reboot the screen resolution was messed up and I couldn't reconfigure it using the nvidia software | 10:03 |

I plugged one monitor into DVI port and the other into the VGA slot. I managed to follow a guide to installing nvidia drivers online. I got both screens working and then after an update only one screen worked but with a really crappy resolution | 10:07 |

Dr_Willis | _TOM_: i recall seeing some gui tools that sort of do what diff does. but ive never really used them and cant rember their names. I tend to use diff/colordiff | 10:08 |
kandjar | this is getting really annoying... on my laptop, i had issue with 8.10, after an update the sounds inside firefox went away, 9.04 didnt solve the pb, 9.10 did, and now, after an update, I can only set the volume to max or min, which means either shouting like crazy or no sound at all!!! :((((( | 10:08 |

kandjar | it's fu... irritating, in 2009 not being able to have an OS which can manage the osunds properly... | 10:17 |
Dr_Willis | fm: i think you should be using the a2d audio drivers not the snd-bt-sco driver. (those are out of date it seems) | 10:17 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: linux isnt so supported by hardware manufacturers | 10:17 |
skyl | kandjar, Madpilot yep ... this sound hardware it going on ebay or getting given away and I won't try to force linux to like unsupported hardware | 10:18 |
Younder | kandjar, get a soundblaster sound kit then.. It has a external volume control | 10:18 |
fm | Dr_Willis: I really don't know. What does it means ? | 10:18 |
Dr_Willis | and sound cards seem to get redone every 2 months for some reason by different makers. :) i wonder how many sound card chipsets there are.. | 10:18 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: when the sound goes to zero, run the command and websearch some of the output, see what you find | 10:18 |
kandjar | ActionParsnip1: i m not talking about dealing with latest hardware or crazy video gfx card, it's a stupid sound issue!!! | 10:18 |

skyl | Dr_Willis, well, that was working but now it just hangs | 10:21 |
skyl | Grub (cursor) .... I'm in grub hell now | 10:21 |
antonius | ALSA, OSS, HD AUDIO, etc...try them all, trial and error-like | 10:21 |
kandjar | antonius: i do have multiple sound device, since the video card also does sound output | 10:21 |
Dr_Willis | a video card with a sound card built in? Thats diffrent. | 10:22 |
antonius | kandjar, open the tray app, and try all the devices listed | 10:22 |
kandjar | Dr_Willis: yeah but that's not what i m using | 10:22 |
Younder | kandjar, do you have a HDMI port on the video card? | 10:22 |
Dr_Willis | Plug extra speakers into it. :) see if you get sound out.. You could build up a 20.2 sound system!@ :) | 10:22 |
kandjar | Dr_Willis: it's due to the HDMI output | 10:22 |

dr4g | Dr_Willis, I wanna capture the output of it and output that to a file. The above link i posted says the "-l" switch will cause the crontab to be displayed on STDOUT | 10:26 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: have you ran: sudo lshw -C sound | grep product to see if there are any bugs logged against the card with your kernel version? | 10:26 |
fm | Dr_Willis: it seems not to be updated for Ubuntu 9.10 | 10:26 |
Younder | kandjar, It might, it might not, try | 10:26 |
Dr_Willis | dr4g: Ive no idea on that - I havent messed with cron in ages | 10:26 |
dr4g | So should i just do... * * * * * /command/here/ 2>&1 > mycron_file_output | 10:26 |
Dr_Willis | fm: i would not be suprised at that. I got my BT headset on the charger. | 10:26 |
dr4g | Is that right ? | 10:27 |
Dr_Willis | dr4g: with cron you proberly want touse fullpaths to everything including the file redirection | 10:27 |
kandjar | ActionParsnip1: i get two lines, one per devices: | 10:27 |
kandjar | product: R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] | 10:27 |
kandjar | product: 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller | 10:27 |
kandjar | | 10:27 |
dr4g | Dr_Willis, sure no probs i'm just wondering on syntax | 10:27 |
dr4g | to forward STDERR to STDOUT and then output to file. | 10:27 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: then one will be the hdmi on your ati thing, the other is your sound card | 10:27 |
VD | :) | 10:28 |
=== teabag is now known as darksector |
kandjar | ActionParsnip1: that i figured | 10:28 |
fm | Dr_Willis: I have already tried this tutorial. It does not work and now I don't have sound at all in my pc :( | 10:28 |
Younder | kandjar, that is not exactly integrated intel is it.. | 10:28 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: websearch for the non-ati line, see what you find. You could also search the bug reports to see whats shaking | 10:28 |
kandjar | it's not the problem of choosing the right one. | 10:28 |
skyl | dr4g, you could just make a bash script that does all of the particulars and have cron execute that | 10:28 |
dr4g | sky1 well this is a simple command | 10:29 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: i know, but sound randomly going to zero sounds like a bug, someone may have logged it and there may be suggestions for fixes in the bug report | 10:29 |
dr4g | "svn up /home/dr4g/site/" | 10:29 |
skyl | I hope sound is the #1 priority for 10.04 ... | 10:29 |
fm | Dr_Willis: Are you able to conect you BT heaset in Karmic? | 10:29 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: or you may find suggestions in ubuntuforums with solutions | 10:29 |

Dr_Willis | fm: i tried once a few months back. but never got it working - was going to try again. but its on the charger. :) so ive not rried yet | 10:30 |
Dr_Willis | skyl: on my 4 ubuntu box's - ive had no sound issues. ( not got bluetooth headphones working yet) :) | 10:30 |
skyl | is Ext4 just as supported as Ext3? | 10:31 |
Dr_Willis | fm: you may need touse the pulse tools to select the proper audio out sink pavucontrol and pavumeger | 10:31 |
skyl | Dr_Willis, grab some exotic hardware and crash your system! | 10:31 |
ActionParsnip1 | skyl: yes | 10:31 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: due to poor hardware support from a large majority of hardware manufacturers getting some hardware to work nice can be a pain, its not Linux / Ubuntu / Canonical's fault its the manufacturers, Nvidia and new ATi cards are hugely supported as are most intel wifi and VGA and they work beautifully | 10:32 |
biophysics | Hi all, is there any siginficant advantage in running 64-bit ubuntu (I hv 2GB RAM) compared to 32 bit for a dell dual core E4300 laptop. many thanks. | 10:33 |
kandjar | ActionParsnip1: I understand that, but sadly i don't have as much free time as i d like to have to be able to fix all these issues. | 10:33 |
kandjar | sadly, i m seriously thinking about going back to wincrap and deal with the other issue i have with them... :( | 10:33 |
Younder | biophysics, well, speed, | 10:33 |
dr4g | Dr_Willis, see the ubuntu crontab file, where does it live ? :) | 10:33 |
Younder | biophysics, but you will be using about 30% more memory too, | 10:33 |
Dr_Willis | dr4g: in /etc/ i imagine. try 'locate crontab' | 10:34 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: then purchase hardware which is known to work 100% out of the box, use the HCL and only buy what works flawlessly. Its what I do and all my hardware sings with no effort (except installing the nvidia driver) | 10:34 |
Younder | biophysics, so you proably wat a 2 Gb machine | 10:34 |
skyl | unless you're doing some serious biophysics calculations or something, 32-bit probably more bang for the hassle | 10:34 |
dr4g | Look at this Dr_Willis http://pastebin.com/m4582e976 | 10:34 |
fm | Dr_Willis: I use pavucontrol but there is no BT headset seleccion possible! it is not in the list | 10:34 |
Dr_Willis | biophysics: i find my vvideo encoding works faster with 64bit.. i dont notice any extra ram needed. but these days... ram is cheap :) | 10:34 |
ActionParsnip1 | kandjar: you get people buying the latest garbage from creative who can't even support windows well, then wonder why it doesn't work in Linux | 10:34 |
Dr_Willis | sadly - creative has fallen down from their past audio excellence.. :( | 10:35 |
skyl | ActionParsnip1, so what's the most linux friendly mid-grade audio interface ~$300-$800? anyone? | 10:35 |

Dr_Willis | jozo_: rephrase that perhaps? | 10:36 |
CruX | well gimp will be removed from the install CD iso image right ? | 10:36 |
dr4g | Dr_Willis, can i run a command like "svn up /home/dr4g/site" or will i only be able to specify a script path. eg: "/home/dr4g/svn_update.sh" | 10:37 |
CruX | and will me replaced with f-spot | 10:37 |
Dr_Willis | CruX: from what i hear - yes gimp will be not included in the default install. | 10:37 |
Dr_Willis | CruX: not sure what image tools will be included.. its still 6 Mo away | 10:37 |
Younder | jozo_: ubuntu has mono, a retarded brother of .NET | 10:37 |

OldEagle | I'm afraid that auto-updating the kernel last night, broke my ubuntu installation. Screen blinks constantly, gui does not load, and the automounter returns errors | 10:52 |
kilnux | i only have the disc for a 9/04 32bit | 10:52 |
kilnux | and i want a 64bit 9.10 so | 10:52 |
ActionParsnip1 | kling0n: then download the 64bit ISO | 10:52 |
fm | Dr_Willis: where do you see your BT headset in padevchooser? I don't see it | 10:52 |
kilnux | can i upgrade onto a 64bit from a 32bit | 10:52 |
OldEagle | does anyone know anything about it, or heard similar problems regarding the latest kernel updates? | 10:52 |

ActionParsnip1 | napster: ok, i wasnt aware, chill | 10:53 |
kilnux | will liinux recognise 4gb ram | 10:53 |
ActionParsnip1 | napster: /server irc.servername.com | 10:53 |
Dr_Willis | fm: i think my HS is so old - it cant do 1/2 th things these new ones can. It seems tobe seen/connected/ but no sound out. Im not sure it can dothe a2d stuff | 10:53 |
ActionParsnip1 | napster: then join the channel, linux mint is not discussed or in any way supported here | 10:54 |
ActionParsnip1 | kilnux: sure, you can install the desktop pae kernel and see all the ram | 10:54 |

ibnulislam | Is it dangerous to use jaunty sources for karmic. As "wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists" does not contains karmic. | 10:55 |
ActionParsnip1 | kilnux: the 32bit can run a 4 PHz CPU if you had it, it is restricted to the 3.2Gb RAM due to addressregister length | 10:55 |
Dr_Willis | fm: i see my BT thjing there. | 10:55 |
drellok | DaDa|Urka, try to remove .Xauthority file in the home dir for the user you're doing sudo to | 10:55 |
OldEagle | Anyone else had problems with the latest kernel upgrade? OR is it possible to redo that update in some way? | 10:55 |
OldEagle | (in case it didn't complete correctly) | 10:56 |
ActionParsnip1 | bradpitt: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 10:56 |
kilnux | actionparsnipl: why cant i find linux CD's in any computer shops?? | 10:56 |
ibnulislam | Is it dangerous to use jaunty apt* sources for karmic. As "wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists" does not contains karmic. | 10:56 |
kekale | OldEagle, --reinstall switch is useful :) | 10:56 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: because they dont want to bother? they woud rather sell you stuff they make a profit on. | 10:56 |
ActionParsnip1 | bradpitt: will remove the proprietary driver, if there is no desktop then also remove xserver-xorg-video-nv | 10:56 |
OldEagle | kekale, reinstall what, I do not know which package broke the installation :\ | 10:57 |
OldEagle | you mean the kernel? | 10:57 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: to to the local book stores and they are in all sorts of computer magazines. Or often public libraries have them | 10:57 |
iceroot | ibnulislam: yes dont mix repos/versions | 10:57 |
kekale | well it was you who mentioned the kernel, OldEagle | 10:57 |
DaDa|Urka | drellok: there wasn't any | 10:57 |
bradpitt | ActionParsnip : so i have to remove the nvidia driver if i want to use on board video card? and then reinstall nvidia driver if i want to use nvidia driver? | 10:57 |
ActionParsnip1 | kilnux: they can't really sell it as its not fro them to see, they can charge you a small fee for the CD and burning it but you will rarely see it, You can get them on Linux magazines | 10:57 |
OldEagle | true, but with the kernel update, came a lot of other updates | 10:57 |
OldEagle | so, I can't know what broke it | 10:57 |
kilnux | dr_willis: i went to pc world and they tell me that i should get a antivirus on ubuntu and they recommended me some software that i shud buy? | 10:58 |
ActionParsnip1 | bradpitt: you will then be using the vesa driver which will work, you can then install the proprietary driver using: gksudo jockey-gtk | 10:58 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: whats 'pc world' ? | 10:58 |
kilnux | PC world a huge computer shop | 10:58 |
OldEagle | have you ever seen the console blinking? | 10:58 |
OldEagle | constantly that is | 10:58 |
ActionParsnip1 | kilnux: no need for AV, tell them they know nothing | 10:58 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: i wouldent buy any. | 10:58 |
ActionParsnip1 | kilnux: i'm UK as well | 10:58 |
kekale | OldEagle, then you cannot say it was the kernel upgrade that broke something. :) But apt usually has a pretty good picture of the state of the system. If something did go amiss with the upgrades, then it will tell you about it when you try to use it. | 10:59 |
skyl | I have 1 HD and the install from usb can't seem to get grub on it correctly | 10:59 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: linux is not windows.. Im not even sure there are any comercial AV programs out for linux. ( i imagine ther are some but they are for scanning windows files) | 10:59 |
miha | mmm how to get proftpd to enable user login... settings get screwed at every upgrade of ubuntu :D | 10:59 |
kilnux | actionparsnipl: so i dont need Antivirus on linux OS's | 10:59 |
ActionParsnip1 | skyl: did you MD5 test the file you put on the USB stick? | 10:59 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: if you want one. theres clamav, and avg has a linux version i recall. | 10:59 |
ActionParsnip1 | !av | kilnux | 10:59 |
ubottu | kilnux: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 10:59 |
OldEagle | ahem... I cannot load into the system in order to "see" anything. The problem is that I have no GUI and the console is unusable as the screen blinks | 11:00 |
Dr_Willis | kilnux: but they are designed to scan your windows systems/files for infections - not linux normally | 11:00 |
OldEagle | also the blinking is weird, I cannot even type the exact moment the screen is off | 11:00 |
ActionParsnip1 | OldEagle: boot to recovery mode then select root, you can run any commands you like | 11:00 |
skyl | ActionParsnip1, no | 11:00 |
skyl | netboot | 11:00 |
ActionParsnip1 | skyl: don't you think you should have? | 11:00 |
kilnux | so i cant get windows viruses on a linux? | 11:00 |
DaDa|Urka | drellok: when i do xauth list with the other user it constantly tells me xauth: creating new authority file /home/brixxi/.Xauthority | 11:00 |
skyl | or netinstall, whatever ... | 11:00 |
ActionParsnip1 | kilnux: no, they are windows viruses, they may infect wine but that no big worry | 11:01 |
beejeebus | i'm trying to find information on the space requirements for bacula | 11:01 |
beejeebus | if i need to keep 7 daily, 4 weekly and 12 monthly backups of a data set | 11:01 |
OldEagle | ActionParsnip1: yes, I was planning on that, but what should I type... I mean this error is obsene | 11:01 |
kekale | oh OldEagle didn't realise you were in such a deep mess | 11:01 |
beejeebus | does bacula do diffs, or will i need 7+4+12 * (data set size) ? | 11:01 |
beejeebus | (i've asked in #bacula, no response.) | 11:01 |
ActionParsnip1 | skyl: did you check using MD5 all the files you could so you know they are good | 11:01 |
kekale | OldEagle, you cannot see the prompt to enter grub menu even? | 11:01 |
skyl | ActionParsnip1, well, this is about the 10th time I've done it ... so ... can I not get 1/10 | 11:01 |
OldEagle | grubs works ok | 11:01 |
OldEagle | grub* | 11:01 |
ActionParsnip1 | OldEagle: uninstall the video driver you installed | 11:01 |
OldEagle | well I didn't... autoupdate may have | 11:02 |
skyl | on like 8 meg download for the net install | 11:02 |
ActionParsnip1 | skyl: you could download an infinite number of images and never get a good image | 11:02 |
kilnux | if i insall linux on my new pc would i lose my windows 7? ( i only have 1 harddrive) | 11:02 |
skyl | ActionParsnip1, that is certainly how it seems | 11:02 |
bradpitt | ActionParsnip1 : ok i get it. and is there a way to not to remove then reinstall whenever i want to use the on board card or nvidia? | 11:02 |
skyl | some cds I burned checked out | 11:02 |
skyl | the install is putting grub on the usb drive it seems | 11:03 |
miha | kilnux: no, but you need some free space... perhaps do disk defragmentation first :D | 11:03 |
grawity | kilnux: Depends on how you install it. Ubuntu can automatically make space for itself without destryoing Windows. | 11:03 |
OldEagle | Ok let my divert the question. Is there a way to complete remove the latest kernel? | 11:03 |
kilnux | ok | 11:03 |
OldEagle | I mean, the old kernel that update left on my grub menu works ok | 11:03 |
skyl | and the CDs fail at lik 60+% | 11:03 |
ActionParsnip1 | skyl: can boot to live CD and install grub from there | 11:03 |
kekale | OldEagle, yes. apt-get remove it. | 11:04 |
dr4g | snd | 11:04 |
dr4g | ops | 11:04 |
OldEagle | will this cause the update manager to reinstall it? (I wanna give it another try) | 11:04 |

handjob | Is there a way to automaticly generate ".asoundrc"? | 11:09 |
krabador | Dr_Willis, is internal | 11:10 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: can you give the output of: ls -la ~/.mozilla | 11:10 |
krabador | Dr_Willis, of internal drive | 11:10 |
Dr_Willis | krabador: easiest thing to do would be make a proper fstab entry for the drive. You may want tounmount it. and install/run the ntfs-config tool | 11:10 |
ActionParsnip1 | handjob: i don't have that file, if you rename the current one is one generated | 11:11 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: use http://pastebin.com | 11:11 |
Dr_Willis | krabador: example entry in /etc/fstab for my ntfs drive -> | 11:11 |
Dr_Willis | UUID=6A62B9CC1192CB2D /media/Vista ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 | 11:11 |
comp2 | hi | 11:11 |
krabador | ActionParsnip1, http://pastebin.com/m4d887361 | 11:11 |
grawity | Dr_Willis, krabador: I suggest fmask=0111,dmask=0 instead of umask. | 11:12 |
OldEagle | alright, kernel problem seems to be solved. Has anyone here -by any chance- had luck with setting up ATI Radeon x1950 PRO AGP on ubuntu? | 11:12 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: do you log in as root or a proper user like you are supposed to | 11:12 |
OldEagle | most tutorials don't cut it | 11:12 |
handjob | ActionParsnip1, I am not sure am i following - I have to rename what? I also don't have this file. | 11:12 |
comp2 | yucih uhi | 11:12 |
ActionParsnip1 | handjob: isee, usually the .xxx files are generated as needed | 11:12 |
Dr_Willis | grawity: I think thats what the ntfs-config tool defaulted to. or the installer. I normally set the ntfs mount points at install :) | 11:12 |
krabador | ActionParsnip1, i run firefox as user and root too, for trying to write inside | 11:13 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: ok do NOT run firefox as root, its hugely unsecure | 11:13 |
Dr_Willis | Hmm... | 11:13 |
Dr_Willis | :) | 11:13 |
handjob | ActionParsnip1, I need it, the default system does not but i guess it won't take my will in considereation. | 11:14 |
ActionParsnip1 | handjob: apparently its not needed: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/.asoundrc | 11:14 |
comp2 | need help on ubuntu 9.10 | 11:15 |
comp2 | can any body help me | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: ok do NOT run firefox as root, its hugely unsecure | 11:15 |
Dr_Willis | comp2: state the actual problem to the channel | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip1 | !ask | comp2 | 11:15 |
ubottu | comp2: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 11:15 |
handjob | ActionParsnip1, Aperenty I need it to do "some stuff". So i guess You don't knew the way to generate it? | 11:15 |
awilkins | After upgrade to the latest kernel my automounting of USB partitions is busted, any other people encounter this (or fix it)? | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: if root is the owner of your users ~/.mozilla folder then the user cannot write data to it, you have screwed your permissions | 11:16 |
comp2 | i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy | 11:16 |
krabador | ActionParsnip1, i close it immediatly look it don't works | 11:16 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: try this: cd ~; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./.mozilla | 11:17 |
ActionParsnip1 | handjob: if you websearch around you may find example files, its not someting I've ever used | 11:17 |
handjob | ActionParsnip1, Ok. Bye. | 11:17 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: run it as your user which will set the ownership to your user, you should then be ok | 11:18 |
krabador | ActionParsnip1, the ~ folder must be the mount point' | 11:18 |
comp2 | i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy | 11:18 |
krabador | ? | 11:18 |
ActionParsnip1 | krabador: no, ~ == /home/$USER == $HOME | 11:18 |
comp2 | i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy | 11:19 |
comp2 | will i be able to remove previous conversations in pidgin | 11:28 |
comp2 | i can work with empathy.....but the above problem is the major draw back | 11:28 |
* Dr_Willis can barely figure out how touse empathy | 11:28 |
ishan | hi, does anyone know how to mount again a USB drive after unmounting once? | 11:28 |
comp2 | just remove and reconnect | 11:29 |
Dr_willis_Emp | There we go. | 11:29 |
ActionParsnip1 | ishan: sudo mount -a;sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart | 11:29 |
ActionParsnip1 | ishan: should do it | 11:29 |
ishan | I mean without removing? | 11:30 |

ishan | thanks ActionParsnip1 | 11:30 |
ActionParsnip1 | ishan: did it fly? | 11:31 |
Dr_Willis | comp2: all i can say about empathy is it sort of bites for IRC> and i do notice a 'clear conversation' menu item. | 11:32 |
Dr_Willis | Dr_willis_Emp is my hero. | 11:34 |
Dr_Willis | comp2: theres no need to msg me for support on empathy and flooding me with 'plz help' wont make me a expert in using empathy. | 11:40 |
Dr_Willis | comp2: ive used the program for all of 5+ min now. | 11:40 |

Flannel | !br | siqueira | 11:45 |

ubuntu | hi | 11:45 |
siqueira | y need help install acx111 in ubuntu 9.10 | 11:46 |
siqueira | i need help for install acx111 in ubuntu 9.10 | 11:46 |
Dr_Willis | !info acx111 | 11:47 |
ubottu | Package acx111 does not exist in karmic | 11:47 |
* Dr_Willis has no idea what acx111 even is | 11:47 |
siqueira | acx111 is card wireless | 11:48 |
Dr_Willis | Plug it in, run the restricted manager tool.. see if it needs any extra drivers.. :) thats the extent of my knowledge for wireless cards | 11:49 |
siqueira | yes Dr_Willis, down package , insucessful | 11:50 |
alkamid | hello | 11:51 |
siqueira | please, what step for install package adicional | 11:51 |
alkamid | I'd like to monitor one application for its RAM usage - is there an app that I can use? | 11:52 |
ActionParsnip1 | siqueira: can you expand please | 11:52 |
shanigans | Has anyone managed to get an esata using port multipliers working? | 11:52 |
alkamid | I mean I'd like to have a chart or at least saved data every 5-10 minutes | 11:52 |
ActionParsnip1 | alkamid: top | 11:52 |
shanigans | I've been trying to make either of mine work for ages, googling, trying different settings... blarg | 11:52 |
shanigans | no luck | 11:52 |
shanigans | found a few people with similar issues, but no solutions | 11:53 |
ActionParsnip1 | alkamid: you can tell top to only display that one process if you wish | 11:53 |
ActionParsnip1 | shanigans: not used eSATA. I use firewire instead :D | 11:53 |
shanigans | yeah, I have used firewire and usb in the past | 11:53 |
shanigans | but i've outgrown all the internal sata ports / space inside my (full tower) case etc | 11:54 |
ActionParsnip1 | pci-X sata card :) | 11:54 |
shanigans | if i can get esata going then i have room for another 10 drives before having to worry about buying a new controller or anything | 11:54 |
JoBe | Hi everybody! - i got a small problem with the new ubuntu (i'm newbe with ubuntu), i have a local network with several computers, and from the Ubuntu machine i can access the whole network and proxy servers, but i've installed samba on the Ubuntu machine, but the machine is not visible in the network! - how can i change that, and if possible, change the computername dislpayed in the ntwork? | 11:54 |
ActionParsnip1 | shanigans: cool | 11:54 |
shanigans | of course, at the moment i'm kind of at a dead end with this so I have a whol bunch of worthless bricks lying about the house | 11:55 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf is the work group the same? | 11:55 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: is the ubuntu hostname pingable from the other systems? Is the IP pingable? | 11:56 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: if you run: sudo smbtree on the ubuntu system, does it list the shares you defined? | 11:56 |
JoBe | the ubuntu is pingable.. | 11:56 |
shanigans | any ideas where else might be a good place to go to get help with port multipliers? | 11:56 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: and the smbtree? | 11:57 |
alkamid | ActionParsnip1, thanks! | 11:57 |
JoBe | actionparsnip1: Working... the workgroup is the same ... | 11:58 |
Dr_Willis | smbtree and findsmb are often 2 overlooked commands for samba exploration :) | 11:58 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: ok, is the client system linux or windows? | 11:59 |
ActionParsnip1 | Dr_willis: i rock at samba some :) | 12:00 |
JoBe | actionparsnip1: the client's are windows system. When i did the "sudo smbtree", i only found one computer, and that is not my ubuntu machine, it's another computer on the network. | 12:00 |
Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip1: its amazing how i can get samba working great.. then for some reason it just hits a brick wall on a single wndows machine.. THEN a few days later starts working,, | 12:00 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: thats normal, it lists the shares on the local system | 12:00 |
ActionParsnip1 | Dr_willis: aye, its weird | 12:01 |
JoBe | actionparsnip1: why don't it lists this computer then ?, this is a windows machine, with the same configuration like the other one it found., | 12:01 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: ok so if you head to the windows system, click start -> run and type | 12:01 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: \\servername\sharename | 12:02 |
Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip1: currently the wifes netbook with xp is the one giving me issues.. then yesterday it started working. Im thinking the router/wireless stuff maybe blocking samba some how for her. | 12:02 |
sadrolla | hi , i will when insert cd on cd drive no mount , who can help me ? | 12:02 |
Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip1: ever noticed a error message like -> (from smbtree) -> cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PINKY<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE | 12:03 |
Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip1: her pc name is 'pinky' its a pink netbook | 12:03 |
=== FyreFoX_ is now known as FyreFoX |
Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip1: and this pc did work just 2 days ago. i moved some files to it. no changes to the network/configs and now it fails | 12:03 |
forfunzinho | enter my ubuntu so pages of google someone know what can be? | 12:04 |
Dr_Willis | forfunzinho: that made no sense what so ever.. rephrase the question. | 12:04 |
FyreFoX | on a clean install of 9.10 64bit, if I install flashplugin-nonfree will that be a 64bit flash or 32bit? | 12:05 |
=== sale_ is now known as sale |
Dr_Willis | FyreFoX: i belive it will be 32bit flash - since 64bit is still in testing. | 12:05 |
forfunzinho | ok | 12:05 |
Dr_Willis | FyreFoX: 32bit flash works here for me, there are people trying out 64bit flash in some cases. | 12:06 |
Pirate_Hunter | has the apache.conf changes in karmic since hardy as I am looking at it and I can't find the option for ServerTokens & ServerSignature, can someone tell me if it is depreciated or they moved it elsewhere? | 12:06 |
forfunzinho | Dr_Willis I have windos and ubuntu installed on my notebook but when I use ubuntu, and access to velox (internet) and enter using firefox so I can access pages related to google and so, the others are eternally carregan | 12:07 |
ActionParsnip1 | JoBe: does the share show up? | 12:07 |
silv3r_m00n | can I get a qt |
