[00:00] thank you [00:01] sobersabre: Sound Effects Hardware Input Output and Applications [00:01] go to "hardware". [00:01] what do you see ? [00:02] 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.

[00:10] blahhhhh [00:10] Alan502: I'm not sure I quite understand your question, but normally to move a primary partition into a logical, involves repartitioning.

[00:13] danny, no it shouldn't as long as they are on the same subnet. [00:13] is there a gparted channel on freenode? [00:13] How can I make Ubuntu display the specs of my machine? Like My Computer>Properties in Winblows? [00:13] maybe a support forum? [00:13] danny, if they are on different you need to have some sort of routing setup [00:14] vistro, hwinfo [00:14] Alan502: since it's swap, why not just repartition? [00:14] cd X [00:15] Alan502: you could try deleting the swap partition, resizing the ubuntu partition, then creating a logical partition for swap [00:15] Alan502: I don't know if that would work though [00:15] usser : I can view 1 of 2 windows machines connected to the same network as my Ubuntu.

[00:16] nonie: then one does not exist [00:16] greez: when i run smbtree nothing happens [00:16] this is strange [00:16] greez: i get asked for a password, then nothing [00:16] Alan502: you can edit it in /etc/fstab, I think [00:16] danny, are you running any firewall? iptables? [00:16] nonie: that's normal now.. the video card etc is handled by xrandr [00:16] greez: if ubuntu installs those automatically, yes. otherwise, probably not [00:17] hi anybody here installed the latest version of handbrake? [00:17] danny, it doesn't, but you can check "sudo iptables -L" [00:17] oh so how can i solve my resolution problem [00:17] Alan502: there might be some info here you can use: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [00:17] lstarnes, i'll google it thanks for your help! very appreciated [00:17] the i386 disk really means i686 right?

[00:18] drivers... [00:18] greez: is there anything in particular i'm looking for after the sudo iptables -L ? [00:18] Can anyone help me with getting sound from an intel 82801AA AC'97 sound card? [00:18] i just did the normal default after the installation i let ubuntu figure out the card installed [00:18] danny, you should see three distinct outputs, that are empty of options [00:18] nonie: what card? [00:19] hold on [00:19] greez: yeah i think that's what i see, "chain input/chain forward/chain output" with not much else [00:19] 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] danny, that's right. [00:19] k... [00:19] jackeveryman: nice :) good luck [00:20] smorg: when I run that command I get command not found [00:20] I got a power supply that's not screwed in at all into the chassis. Think it's safe to find a screw and hold the supply long enough to screw at least one screw in there? [00:20] vistro: with it powered on? [00:21] yup. It's updating [00:21] it's a NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] . i did a lshw and this is what came up in the video card [00:21] POS is so old, the processor is actually a card. [00:21] Wilabob: You need alsa-utils. I'm not on ubuntu right now so I can't tell their package name. [00:21] 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] i checked the repositories and found none of equivalent [00:21] so the updates might take a while. [00:21] 'ground'? meh, whatever the word is [00:21] nonie: and did you just install and the first thing you're trying to do is get the card working right? [00:22] I wish I could disable parts of Ubuntu (or at least delay them) during startup to make this thing not have to work so hard [00:22] Hey everyone. I've just upgraded my laptop to Karmic, and the first thing I've noticed, is that right after I unplug the AC adaptor, the X hangs. It is only X, or possible gdm. When I login with no graphics, nothing goes wrong. Any idea what it may be? I've found nothing like this in release notes or else. [00:22] danny, see the last post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244931 [00:23] yes when i installed pclinuxos with this card the display could reach 1024 X 768 [00:23] hi,can someone give me a hand please ?

[00:26] lstarnes, greezmunkey: the question is : was the hard drive Load_Cycle_Count issue fixed in ubuntu 9.10? [00:27] Lingu: what happens when you type in your name and password? [00:27] KindOne: Meh it works on windows [00:27] 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] benchik: try checking the bug reports on launchpad [00:27] well thats the problem the screen is flashing sometimes when i hit a key if its on the flash it doesnt register [00:27] greezmunkey: in 9.10, xord can at least partially configure itself using hal/dbus [00:27] benchik, you should be able to look that up, I don't know. [00:28] so when i type my password i cant see if it misses a key or not so i cant try log in [00:28] 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] benchik: wait, sorry, wrong person [00:28] KindOne: it's not an xorg issue.. just that his driver isn't installed yet.. from synaptic [00:28] nonie: try sudo dpkg-reconfgiure --phigh xserver-xorg [00:29] KindOne: Yep [00:29] ok hold on i will try first the synaptic thanks ill let you know asap.

[00:45] Wilabob: we're talking about "Default Output" section, "Plugin" drop down list. [00:45] josvuk: it's the PC speaker [00:45] josvuk: I think so. [00:45] josvuk: and yes it could [00:46] m1dlg: what's wrong? [00:46] sobersabre: If I use pulse plugin and click test it doesn't work [00:46] sobersabre: I'm using ALSA [00:46] Wilabob: after you chose pulse, you need to choose device. [00:46] what is chosen now ? [00:46] Wilabob: pulse is ABOVE alsa. [00:46] my pc crashed, now i cant boot, i have recovery shell [00:46] so, leave alsa alone. [00:47] hey, does anyone know how to change where WINE's C drive is mounted? [00:47] kavurt, my pc crashed, now i cant boot, i have recovery shell [00:47] sobersabre: When using pulse I can select Default or Unknown neither give sound [00:47] m1dlg: does it say anyghing when you try to boot? [00:47] Wilabob: did you play with ALSA mixers ? [00:48] sobersabre: Yes some of them were on mute so I turned them on [00:48] Hi again [00:48] Wilabob: do you have alsa gtk mixer installed or did you play via command line ? [00:48] kavurt, unable to mount required .... and something about waiting for drive and fstab? i'll copy it in a sec. [00:49] sobersabre: I used gtk [00:49] sobersabre: BRB I have to switch comps [00:49] I suspect you messed all the mixers a little bit. [00:49] lots of input output errors on sectors on the drive [00:49] sudo modprobe snd-pcsp reports me: FATAL: Module snd_pcsp not found. Can I apt-get install snd-pcsp to install it? [00:50] someone can help me get the sound [00:50] Where are the kernel modules in the filesystem located? [00:50] someone can help me get the sound [00:51] Back [00:51] I suspect you messed all the mixers a little bit. [00:51] you have 2 mixers - ALSA and pulse. [00:52] 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] How so? [00:52] alsa is a low level driver, and pulse is a "software" mixer. [00:52] it allows many programs to use your alsa card simultaneously. [00:53] Wilabob_: anyway, play with the mixers. [00:53] sobersabre: So how can I fix it? [00:53] play with the mixers. [00:53] that's it. [00:53] if you said you heard the beep from the speakers, it means hardware/software is capable, but mixers are not setup properly. ok ? [00:54] in ALSA the output is usually signed as "PCM" or "Wave Out". [00:54] What is the difference to plug my monitor over HDMI or DVI? [00:54] sobersabre: OK, I have a PCM mixer [00:55] Wilabob_: play with settings of the mixers. you can see them, I can't. it must work. [00:55] look for muted stuff.

I'll try to run a DVD and see what happens [01:51] did anyone know how nautilus set a name to a preview in ~/.thumbnails/ [01:51] krabador: depends on the exact issues you are having.

The screen stays blank [01:54] whenever you need to adjust volume, hit alt+f2 and type "gnome-volume-control" [01:54] or just bind it to a key [01:54] would it be better to move about 150Gb of files using ftp or rsync? [01:54] 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] assoguerozen_sx: how did you install flash player?

[01:56] Billiard but i got the same slow motion performance in another distros (a little bit better using x64 distros) [01:56] toshi: no dont do that, im not the one with the problem either [01:56] ctmjr I'm trying to run the commands. [01:56] and how the hell do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you adjust your volume [01:56] 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? [01:57] Billiard just asking for some tricky tune thing... got me? [01:57] MaxHR: no [01:57] 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] Billiard, i had to download the 64bit version of flash and then copy the plugin to the mozilla folder [01:57] ctmjr I just restarted the computer fresh. So what do you want me to do in order? [01:57] MaxHR: its best to just set up a normal 'dual boot setup' like most people use. [01:57] wtf, is it the hardest thing in the world to add resolutions to monitors? [01:58] toshi: you dont have to do that, flashplugin-nonfree works well [01:58] JohnWittle: Couldn't find package gnome-volume-control ?? running Karmic,, true,, i have known that,, doesnt work in my karmic,, !??C? [01:58] even for a 64bit machine? [01:58] 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] have usb installation issues with brand/models of pendrives? [01:58] zippo: gnome-volume-control does not work? [01:58] It really, really should, zippo. [01:58] Zzarkc: make sure you have the right interface run ifconfig -a look for wlan0 or whatever the wireless interface is [01:58] Someone else help him; I'm out of my league. [01:59] toshi: yes [01:59] 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] 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] and how do you turn off the "growl" like popups everytime you adjust your volume [01:59] ctmjr I did that. I'm looking at the info. [01:59] how do i empty trash for my external usb thumb drive? [02:00] Dr_Willis, something to try many times.... [02:00] MaxHR: Ive not used a floppy disk in years.. whats the issue with booting from cd and installing that way? [02:00] asdo, when you unmount it, it should offer to delete the Trash [02:00] any new news for 64 bit flash sluggishness? still freezes up on yahoo homepage with there flash ads [02:00] 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] karma_police: how did you install flash ? [02:00] their* [02:00] Madpilot, it doesnt [02:01] installed from the repos. i have 64 bit 9.10 [02:01] Madpilot, it does now [02:01] karma_police: flashplugin-nonfree ? [02:01] 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] thanks [02:01] asdo, heh :) [02:01] not sure.. whatever is in the repos [02:01] 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] karma_police: go check that you used flashplugin-nonfree [02:02] zippo: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" , that applet would be useful [02:02] 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] i'm a noob.. whats the best way of checking this? [02:02] karma_police: open the package manager, and look if flashplugin-nonfree is installed [02:02] ctmjr : What do you want me to do for my next step? I'm looking at the ifconfig -a information. I found wlan0 [02:03] JohnWittle: in synaptic,, gnome-utils gnome-voice-control gnome-volumemanager gnome-web-photo,,, no gnome-volume-control!!?? [02:03] zippo: grab gnome-volumemanager [02:03] Dr_Willis: installing with a different computer might work... the bios doesn't support net booting or usb [02:04] Zzarkc: ok run this make sure it see's your wireless network sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [02:04] it wasn't.. i checked it no [02:04] now [02:04] karma_police: ok install that see if flash works any better [02:04] 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? [02:05] brb.. gotta reload firefox [02:05] 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] UbuntuUser: there is both [02:05] ctmjr : yep. It found it, along with 2 other networks I don't want to connect to. [02:06] UbuntuUser: you can use synaptic package manager or ubuntu software center [02:06] Billiard, where's add/remove? [02:06] Billiard, i know i can use synaptic, just prefer the way it was before [02:07] Zzarkc: ok did you set up a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file yet? [02:07] 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 [02:08] ctmjr I believe so. I followed the guide online. [02:08] i know its not hardware issue..... i have 2.8 duo with 4gb of ram [02:08] UbuntuUser: sorry, im not sure about add/remove, it was crap anyway, no reason not to use synaptic [02:09] also.. i cannot get yoville to work at all.... gf is sad... :( [02:10] 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] karma_police: you have flash installed? [02:10] 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] yes. [02:10] installed from the repo [02:10] nonfree also [02:11] 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] karma_police: the facebook games "play" slowly for me but they do work. [02:11] ctmjr: do I want to stop the nm-applet first? [02:11] 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 === root is now known as X-M4-X [02:12] JohnWittle: volyme not volume,, sorry,, see the sentence, misspelled and on a shitty lapp,, back 2 pulseaudio,, !?? [02:12] 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] i wonder what the issue with flash is with linux anyways.. works well with windoze.... adobe just buggy for linux? [02:12] UbuntuUser, for real? hadn't realized it wouldn't queue stuff up... meh. Use synaptic. [02:12] hello is this right for ubuntu server edit? [02:12] why doesn't SD Card readers work with ubuntu 9.10 out of the box? [02:13] DJJeff, must depend on your reader. My basic one has always worked in Ubuntu. [02:13] my sd card reader worked fine out of box [02:13] 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] Zzarkc: yes i thought asked you to kill all network managers it tries to take over everything [02:13] only thing i had to do wwith 9.10 was blacklict my usb wireless adapter [02:13] hello [02:14] 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] ctmjr Alright. I did that. Is that JUST nm-applet? [02:14] 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] i just wish network setup was easier [02:14] constant* [02:15] What's the difference between the karmic Desktop i386 CD and the Alternate i386 CD? [02:15] UbuntuUser, 'restart again and again' is an ugly workaround [02:15] i have been using ubuntu for a month and a half now [02:15] Zzarkc: network manager in general [02:15] madpilot, thats not my workaround, my workaround is leaving it on, and using suspend when not using it [02:15] karma_police: are you on reddit? [02:15] y2b_, the alternate is install-only, with the text-based more complex installer. desktop is the try-before-install liveCD + graphical installer. [02:15] i moved over from windows 7 [02:15] what is reddit? [02:16] Zzarkc: try and run that command [02:16] any one know any where i can download linpus lite 1.2? [02:16] karma_police: sorry, i thought i recognized your name from another site. [02:16] nonamenn: distrowatch [02:16] hello there, i installed moonlight 2 beta for waching some page in silverlight and after a day uninstalled it [02:16] and now there are no plugins :( [02:16] nonamenn, it won't be out til at least december. i emailed them about that [02:16] ctmjr : Alright. It just gave me a prompt again. [02:16] IdleOne: its the old version [02:17] mozplugger, gecko media, flash, can someone help me¿ [02:17] 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] nonamenn: you know this is #ubuntu correct :) [02:17] and, I created a bootable usb drive for ubuntu [02:17] i selected the LiveCD option [02:17] hello I want to know how to I find out all my computer specs from ubuntu 9.10 [02:17] IdleOne, its ok i answered his question lol now we can talk more about Ubuntu :) [02:17] yeah... but some times they just know some stuff about anything [02:17] aka try b4 using [02:17] and it froze === ubuntu is now known as rafase282 [02:18] ubuntu, did ya try reading the box your computer came in? it should be on there somewhere [02:18] JohnWittle: No command 'grab' found, pretty please,,, what,, next,,, sorry,,' [02:18] 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] it is a laptop and I dont have that info anymore [02:18] Hey all. Is there any way for me to either A) run Indesign within ubuntu; or B ) open INDD files? I've tried for days to install with WINE (all versions), run within vbox, etc. TIA [02:18] in " [~] $ lspci " I see the Texas Inst. 5 in 1 card reader [02:18] but I cant access it? [02:19] is there any comman or program that will show what hardware i have? [02:19] DJJeff, shove a card in, it should auto-mount anything [02:19] rafase282: did you try "lspci and lsusb" in your terminal ? [02:19] rafase282: try installing sysinfo [02:20] thanks [02:20] i'll do that [02:20] rafase282, the 1st tab of System Monitor will have some basic info - cpu, ram, hdd space. System->Prefs->System Monitor [02:21] rashed2020, to get a very detailed list "sudo lshw" [02:21] 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] ctmjr: It said "DHCPOFFERS received. ; No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." [02:21] what..? [02:21] ctmjr: Woops, I meant "No DHCPOFFERS received." [02:21] good call boomernang [02:22] cool - didn't know lshw would output HTML [02:22] also looks like lshw is installed by default, on my relatively fresh 9.10 install unless it tagged along with something else [02:22] boomernang, nice. will have to remember that === root is now known as Guest20824 [02:22] boom :D [02:22] for which application are these parameters? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer [02:23] Zzarkc: that's not good you can run it one more time and see if it connects [02:24] 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] i am trying to setup ftp, but the guide I am following does not specify the application for which the parameters provided are [02:25] ctmjr : do i need to change anything in the network interfaces file? [02:25] TheBoggey, probably vsftpd [02:25] what's the difference between logical and primary partitions? [02:25] Zzarkc: not yet [02:25] Confuzius, do you recommend that one? [02:25] TheBoggey: why not use ssh since its more secure [02:25] Has anyone been able to get UFCE NES emulator to work from the 9.10 repos? [02:25] ctmjr : Yeah, same response. [02:26] ctop, because it is for a home server where nobody else knows how to use ssh [02:26] bump [02:26] ctop, am I being stupid? [02:26] GFCE I mean. [02:26] TheBoggey: if its behind a firewall and only for local use it should be fine [02:26] dan85, i think primaries are the only ones you can boot from [02:27] ctop, but can they access it through windows explorer, or even firefox? [02:27] TheBoggey: they who? [02:28] the people in lan [02:28] TheBoggey: ftp yes [02:28] ctop, yeah but not ssh [02:28] so i will use ftp [02:29] TheBoggey: with ssh you can use winscp [02:29] Zzarkc: what guide where you using can you paste the link [02:29] ctop, its not like we're dealing with top secrets file here, so Ill use ftp [02:29] now, which ftp server do you recommend? [02:29] I had used one before that disconfigured itself weirdly [02:29] ctmjr : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 [02:29] 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] TheBoggey: ok [02:30] vsftpd worked for me in jaunty but not karmic [02:30] 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? [02:31] ...and which is - ext3, or ext4? [02:31] Confuzius, ctop, take a look at this page please :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer [02:31] TheBoggey: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [02:32] thanks ctop [02:32] Is there a log of what grub actions are taken during kernel package upgrades? [02:32] that looks useful [02:32] dan85: /boot is good on first cylinder - yes. / will be primary, the rest can be logical [02:33] hi, i want to change to ubuntu 9.10, i am using 8.10, but i want to back up my evolution calendar data, but i dont know a way that works correctly, can you help me? [02:33] Kor, inside Evolution, there's a "backup to file" option that produces a tar.gz file [02:34] Zzarkc: ok that guide is kinda old do you have wpa or wpa2 set up [02:34] ctmjr : WPA2 [02:34] Kor, File->Backup [02:35] ctop, is it a bad idea to set the ftp's home directory to a folder in my home? [02:35] does anyone have an aim server that works? login.messagging.aim.com doesn't work [02:36] 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? [02:36] whats the best way to find out hardware info on a video card in ubuntu 9.10? I'm looking to find video memory and things like that. [02:36] Madpilot, i try that option, but when i try to restore the backup, evolution dont recognice the backup. [02:36] epinky: gnome-alsamixer,, thanx but i know,, not that,, gui interface, ( lame.. jepp,, but i need it ) [02:37] JohnWittle: in synaptic: NO gnome-volume-control! [02:37] Kor, really? Not cool... [02:37] BrodeurPC: do you got Wine installed ? [02:37] KindOne: yes i do [02:37] Madpilot, yes, i don't know why [02:38] BrodeurPC: download GPU-Z and run it under Wine [02:38] Hey guys Im about to wipe 9.10 for the more reliable 8.04.3 LTS release and Im wondering does that release support dual monitors easily as 9.10 does? Pretty much plug & play? [02:38] 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] KindOne: never thought of doing that. thanks for the help [02:38] linuxguy2009: yes [02:38] exarkun: Ok Thank you [02:39] BrodeurPC: never have I, i just thought about it also [02:39] Madpilot, ok, let me see [02:40] I actually want to stick with 9.10 but I cant find a working NES emulator for my netbook to run NES games on my 52" LCD TV hehe. [02:40] zippo: huh?, I didn't undestand [02:40] zippo: understand* [02:41] linuxguy2009, there are a ton of NES emulators? none work? [02:41] linuxguy2009, pretty much any nes emulator will look like garbage on a 52" hdtv..... [02:41] KindOne: i always forget about using Wine for things, iv been working hard on fazing out anything to do with Windows [02:41] hi,there. [02:41] heck, ive had zsnes work through wine [02:41] I only see UFCE in software center. [02:41] how can i check a program's version in ubuntu 9.10? [02:42] newbie here. question about moving files from vista puter to 9.1 [02:42] Are there other GUI based NES emulators? [02:42] BrodeurPC: if you cant find out something through Linux, always resort wo Wine and Windows [02:42] conf, zsnes is available for Linux, but it's x86-32 only [02:42] lockd, yeah, i was just downloading it for a guy at work, who dosn't have internet...

[02:42] linuxguy2009, make sure Universe & Multiverse are enabled thru Software Sources, then search in Synaptic instead of the software centre [02:43] BrodeurPC, KindOne: err, using Wine to find out video hardware status? that's a little over kill [02:43] Madpilot: Ok yeah there all enabled umm Ill try and search synaptic again cause I know it shows much more.

Where are the files? In a couple of directories? [02:54] 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] tommy27: what version of ubuntu? I tried putting in wrong pass in synaptic and did not get that [02:54] xuubntu 9.04 [02:54] BrodeurPC, did you get a little notice about restricted drivers manager?

[02:55] tommy27: not sure how xubuntu handles that situation. might try asking in #xubuntu to see if it is normal [02:55] tommy27: might be related to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/134474 [02:55] lockd: i was just going to ask you about the restricted drivers, it never popped up saying it === mau_restor is now known as m4u_r35t0r === m4u_r35t0r is now known as m4u_r3570r [02:56] zippo: is it done?, you installed gnome-alsamixer(As I told you before), right?

[03:02] !attitude | medhat [03:02] medhat: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:02] BrodeurPC, the fact that the north bridge is a 915GM... I can't help without the full data [03:03] I have a powerbook g4 so no pc speaker, but want the gnome-terminal make beep with echo -e "\a" . [03:03] Is there a solutoin for it? [03:03] BrodeurPC, did you ever paste the URL? [03:03] someone, PM me, short question about partitioning... [03:03] Zzarkc: sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B make sure it returns to a prompt without errors [03:03] ok thanks when i hold the hold the mouse when the administrator tasks passowrd dialog opens it says the crazy eaves droping thing [03:03] lockd: if i remember right i think i was using ATI drivers on it back when i had WinXP but that was a long time ago [03:03] BrodeurPC, you have to paste the URL in IRC or else nobody knows where to go [03:04] bump [03:04] tommy27: so it is a bug and nothing for you to worry about in this case [03:04] IdleOne: And any other room they are also volunteers. I'm sure there is something wrong with this room. It used to be fine back, and that's long time, now that's not my first time in this room and everytime now I have to suffer to get help. [03:04] lockd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329025/ [03:04] yes [03:04] danny_, you joined a channel of 1268 people to ask someone to private message you so you can ask your question? get real [03:04] lockd: sorry bout that [03:04] BrodeurPC, thanks [03:04] whew i was going to fucking freak out [03:04] sry [03:04] medhat: if nobody knows the answer they wont answer [03:04] medhat: perhaps no one knows the answer to your question [03:05] bastidrazor: You there? [03:05] ...need to ask about partitioning in a PM... [03:05] BrodeurPC, okay the northbridge didn't mean anything, yeah I see the ATI Radeon Mobility [03:05] dan45: ask in here and if someone can help they will [03:05] ctmjr : No errors. [03:05] chuckf: That happens almost in every problem, and after I keep on repeating (which i consider spamming) and keep on asking people what's wrong why no one helps then i get their attention and that's what I call suffering. [03:05] How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA). [03:06] HELP NEEDED: ... /boot, /, /home, swap area - correct placement? Which should be primary, and which should be logical? Also, what about ext3 and ext4? [03:06] chuckf: I feel no one even tries, I'm honest with you other Linux rooms are more active than this one. [03:06] medhat: then perhaps Ubuntu is not the distro for you [03:06] Zzarkc: ok cross your fingers and run sudo dhclient wlan0 [03:06] BrodeurPC, and are there graphics issues now? [03:06] lockd: should i try to load on the ATI binary or just leave as is since its running pretty nicely right now just not with Wine === jlcolburn_ is now known as jlcolburn [03:06] BrodeurPC, you can't try the ATI binary [03:07] How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA). [03:07] chuckf: What does the support has to do with choosing the distro? [03:07] medhat: or you need to find a different form of support that works for you [03:07] lockd: only graphic issues i have ever had have been with Wine just very very laggy [03:07] medhat: please ask your question again [03:07] BrodeurPC, actually FGLRX 9.8 supposedly has fixed support with the 2.6.30 kernel [03:07] chuckf: I'm honest with you, this room used to be good back then. [03:07] medhat: because ubuntu is for nabs [03:07] IdleOne: Thanks Idle. [03:07] anyone can help? ... /boot, /, /home, swap area - correct placement? Which should be primary, and which should be logical? Also, what about ext3 and ext4? [03:07] medhat: maybe you asked wrong [03:08] lockd: would it be worth trying [03:08] medhat: i looked back, and I couldn't even find your question. what was the problem? [03:08] How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA). [03:08] dan45: awsum placement [03:08] shorthorn, if you find yourself needing to change a lot of permissions on the stuff you chown'd, use "chmod" in terminal [03:08] medhat: well we are where we are now. Live in the now and not the past [03:09] dan45: ext4 is considered stable and it's faster than ext3 so you should use it ;f [03:09] 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] lockd: i use this laptop to show other people what linux is capable of doing and would like to get the most out of it [03:09] can somebody help me with my vsftpd problems here http://paste.ubuntu.com/329023/ ? [03:09] dan45: Probably full of bugs that will destroy all your data, too [03:09] kde4000 pm? [03:09] DaZ: so, which should be primary, and which should be logical? [03:09] techhelper1, k [03:09] BrodeurPC, keep in mind the ATI drivers are really iffy [03:09] hi [03:09] dan45: it doesn't matter imo [03:09] actually just check it [03:09] I wanna know : do I need to choose the best registrar (except for cost)? I mean, if my registrar close his buisness, will I lose my domain? [03:09] How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA). [03:09] ctmjr : No luck, but I'm giong to edit something and reboot to see if it will work. [03:10] medhat: you are asking for help on a problem. The people in the room currently do not have an answer for you. What is your proposed solution to the problem? [03:10] medhat: ask your support question please. all rooms have issues #ubuntu included. [03:10] I always have home and swap on logical [03:10] Hi All - Im opening an SSH Connection to a Linux Ubuntu firewall we run.. Is there a shell command to extract Hard Disk Model numbers?? [03:10] BrodeurPC, try it and if it doesn't work then don't use it [03:10] How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA). [03:10] DaZ: is it true, that only primaries can be booted from? [03:10] medhat: because debian people are different [03:10] medhat: i'm trying to help. i just asked you what your question was, and you complain again. do you really want help, or are you just going to complain? [03:10] lockd: i know, ill probably give it a shot ubuntu is easy to reinstall if i need to anyways [03:10] ctmjr :Actually I need to get going. Thanks for the help I appreciate it. [03:10] Archanamiya, you need to copy the java plugin to your mozilla directory [03:11] Archanamiya, err, link, not copy [03:11] lockd: How do I do that :S [03:11] dan45: possible, i've heard it but it was a long time ago [03:11] 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 [03:12] 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] DaZ: so, /boot, / - as primaries; /home - as logical. Right? swap area... ??? [03:12] Archanamiya, sun java or openjdk? [03:13] lockd: iunno. i have both. which would be better. [03:13] dan45: doesn't matter [03:13] beachwood23: all yours :P [03:13] beachwood23: Hold on i'm going to paste the error. [03:13] I did an update yesterday, and various applications (firefox, hydrogen) now fail to start w/ a "bus error". is this a known issue, and if so, can someone point me to some doc on it? [03:13] you can fit all as primary [03:13] Need to do this urgently for work, anyone been able to do this?: Im opening an SSH Connection to a Linux Ubuntu firewall we run.. Is there a shell command to extract Hard Disk Model numbers?? [03:13] DaZ: logical is for? [03:13] lockd: i dont see the FGLRX in the software center just the binary x.org driver and the catlst [03:14] help! [03:14] BrodeurPC, actually I think that's catalyst [03:14] dan45: ? [03:14] How do I get Java working with Chromium on 8.04 (from the PPA). [03:14] Archanamiya, 32 or 64-bit? [03:14] lockd: must be [03:14] hi there,could you tell me how to get the code of any command i want? [03:14] lockd: I don't know :S:S:S:S:S [03:15] Archanamiya, what's output of uname -a [03:15] DaZ: what is logical for?

I can only get a resolution of 800x600, the nVidia drivers (180 & 173) cause my monitor to shut off,.. any one with an idea how i can get a higher resolution? I've been mess`n with this on and off all day,..] [03:18] @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] Kor, you're welcome. glad it helped. [03:18] Archanamiya, ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib ... pastebin that [03:18] DaZ: what's the difference between primary and logical?

[03:19] dan45: do some resarch [03:19] siropio: use dpkg -S command_name to find out what package it is in then apt-get source package_name [03:19] DaZ: beachwood who shold help left can you give a look at my problem? [03:19] in practice there are almost none [03:19] DaZ: o-k-a-y... :D [03:19] trism this will get the C code? [03:20] dan45: just make / and /boot and /home primary.. and then swap logical [03:20] ok [03:20] lockd: yes and usually right in the bios but its not there. something that is set and cant be changed [03:20] 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] do you have a tutorial ? [03:20] DaZ: thx alote! bye... [03:20] medhat: try changing the server you get the updates from in Software Sources. [03:20] 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] IdleOne: I did that, I'm going to give it another try though.

[03:21] BrodeurPC, http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15698 [03:21] is it the first or last package [03:22] DaZ: last [03:22] siropio: apt-get source coreutils [03:22] 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] ok thanks trism :) [03:22] lockd: http://pastebin.com/m7eb0306a [03:22] medhat: if nothing helps then remove it and do an upgrade [03:22] mysql isnt vital <: === vic is now known as Guest28939 [03:23] DaZ: To remove it I should empty the /tmp? [03:23] Archanamiya, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [03:23] Archanamiya, that should work [03:23] lockd: ill try it [03:23] IdleOne: changing the servers didn't work [03:24] Archanamiya, note: if java is working in Firefox already, things are fishy [03:24] medhat: apt-get [03:24] lockd: k.. [03:24] Archanamiya, well, was it? [03:24] medhat: you could try what DaZ suggested. uninstall mysql then upgrade [03:24] lockd: iunno. havent used FF in ages [03:24] 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] IdleOne: how can i do that, can you tell me the step? [03:24] anyone know of something I can use to view .tef file extensions in ubuntu? [03:25] how do I give myself read and write permissions for a folder I do not own? [03:25] medhat: search mysql in Synaptic and uninstall [03:25] BrodeurPC, just... tell them to buy an nVidia or an Intel graphics chipset... [03:25] chmod +rw /home/ftp ? [03:25] IdleOne: ok thanks [03:25] 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] TheBoggey: yeah. are you the owner? [03:25] Archanamiya, no [03:25] Archanamiya, but if I do that it says operation not permited [03:25] TheBoggey: o+rw [03:25] TheBoggey: then run... [03:25] ahhh [03:25] sudo [03:26] it gives permissions to root user [03:26] lockd: yeah nvidia seems to work great with linux [03:26] (i think, because I am still not able to) [03:26] TheBoggey: do sudo chown YOURUSERNAME /home/ftp [03:26] I have to own it? [03:26] TheBoggey: Then chmod it [03:26] TheBoggey, "chown" is change ownership [03:26] TheBoggey: basically [03:26] 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] Madpilot, thanks I know [03:27] hardbop200: it in preferences dialog [03:27] hardbop200: tell it not to [03:27] hardbop200: --hide-porn [03:27] hardbop200: don't presever sessions, don't recall the method off my head [03:27] DaZ: lawl [03:27] 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] hardbop200: preserve [03:27] Archanamiya: unfortunately, I can't get it to start to get to the preferences dialog [03:27] hardbop200: Why not? [03:27] DaZ: lol ;) [03:27] DaZ, lol, now ff has private browsing :) [03:28] sorry for killing the joje [03:28] lockd: didn't work [03:28] IdleOne: DaZ: It worked thanks alot =) [03:28] joke* [03:28] Archanamiya: attempts to start, then I get "bus error". been happening a lot with various apps since the update yesterday [03:28] :S [03:28] Archanamiya, about:plugins [03:28] k [03:28] medhat: did you reinstall the mysql? ;f [03:28] lockd: now if i can only find a way to get rid of that ugly Windows key on my keyboard :p [03:29] Should i do that before updating or after? [03:29] how do I restart a program? [03:29] DaZ: I didn't [03:29] 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] so you don't know yet [03:29] lockd: it has a spot for java, " libjavaplugin_oji.so", but says that no mime types are associated with it [03:29] BrodeurPC, a flat head screw driver can do that [03:29] medhat: welcome, in the future please try to keep calm, support is not always available on demand :) [03:29] lockd: nor does it have a heading like all the others (it SHOULD say "Java...") [03:29] :S [03:29] spridel: black marker worked pretty good too [03:30] BrodeurPC, a couple of places sell Tux stickers or replacement keys :) [03:30] I'm having X issues,... my notebooks display is broken, big`ol crack right thru it,.. so I have an lcd monitor on the vga out,...

I've been mess`n with this on and off all day,.. [03:30] just stopping by [03:30] Archanamiya, well you'll have to do a 'locate libnpjp2.so' [03:30] lockd: k [03:30] IdleOne: I understand, I was just sad because I felt that the support was in a curve heading down. I really appreciate your time and sharing your information, I just always expect the best and I want to keep on expecting the best from you guys. [03:30] BrodeurPC, well done! [03:30] lockd: bash: locate: command not found ;-; [03:31] what do the load numbers mean?

How long will updatedb take? [03:34] depends on how much junk that needs to be updated [03:34] Is there any way to make my Terminal keep the scroll bar and title bar on by default [03:34] crazyivan, check your gnome-terminal options, you must have turned those off [03:34] lockd: crap [03:34] Madpilot, thx [03:34] madpilot, how do i check my gnome-terminal options? do i just type that commmand in the terminal? [03:35] 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] bbak [03:35] crazyivan, Edit->Profile Preferences [03:35] lockd: oh dear [03:35] madpilot, again, is that what i type in my terminal?

[03:45] lockd: it finished === gsk_ is now known as gsk [03:45] !netsplit [03:45] lockd: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so [03:45] 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] wow [03:45] the double boot instructions dont work [03:46] no... I didnt do an error check =( [03:46] why did so many people quit at once?

[03:46] lol [03:46] lockd: it returned /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so [03:46] read-fail [03:46] Archanamiya, that is just the symlink you made... which is almost certainly "red" [03:46] i still dont get it, so what happened? [03:46] rheaghen, when you first start an Ubuntu CD, 3rd or 4th option down the very first menu is "Verify this CD". good to run that. [03:47] Archanamiya, install the right packages, I have no idea what could be missing === PriceChild is now known as Pricey [03:47] yeah, I know [03:47] lockd: :S They are... [03:47] ok so wuts up with this net split thing, wuts the purpose of it [03:47] crazyivan, just a internet burp, is all [03:47] is there a way to silence the logging? [03:47] crazyivan: all those people who left were on Windows servers lol [03:47] sheish, thats alotta noise [03:47] All these damn floodbot and administrators are pissin me off [03:47] crazyivan, that's skynet recompiling. [03:47] crazyivan, freenode has a number of servers, one of them dropped out of sight for a minute, that's all [03:48] skynet?

[04:34] Newbuntu2: what are the options you're after?

[04:40] Newbuntu2: it should be able to auto-detect using " sudo update-grub2 " [04:40] I was able to to it before I reinstalled 8, and before I updated to 9 (before I reinstalled 8) [04:41] I had to reinstall 8 (instead of 9) because of a lack of audio drivers and setting options [04:41] W9ZEB: we don't have something like this [04:41] acovrig: is port 22 open?

I have the nvida working but can't get the other one to go...??? [04:46] EntityReborn: awesome. good to hear [04:48] anyone know how to hide the home screen in UNR karmic? [04:49] I am trying to create a live USB but when I run the USB startup creator, it will not allow me to select an .iso. I find one and select it, but it defaults to what is in my dvd drive [04:49] ati shit omg !!! [04:49] Ati should be a warning, for windows only ... [04:50] stop trolling ;f [04:50] yeah do you know of anyone doing anything like this ? [04:50] Jeruvy, would you have any ideas into why Ubuntu reports my CPU doesn't support scaling, when with Fedora scaling worked fine? [04:50] 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] And if I take the dvd out, it will not allow me to select anything. [04:50] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/dual-panel-nautilus-for-ubuntu-karmic.html [04:51] spiky25, language. also, "all ati is crap" is... not actually helpful... [04:51] EntityReborn: probably due to the kernel, not all ubuntu's kernels are equal (nor with other distros) [04:51] Hm. [04:52] damn [04:52] anyone? [04:53] Madpilot that mean never buy an Ati again !!! [04:53] spiky25, mine works just fine. ymmv. [04:53] spiky25: go to bed [04:53] now ;f [04:53] 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] Ati forums are sometimes spammed by peoples for that and Ati remove all about this ... [04:54] my continued funding of that company, furthers open source development. [04:54] W9ZEB: If you don't do gaming intel is still better :) [04:54] Ok, has anyone used the usb startup creator successfully in 9.10? [04:54] now, the intel GMA500..... [04:54] anyone know how to hide the home screen in UNR karmic? it would be nice to see the wallpaper [04:54] I can't install plugins in vuze... Is it the correct channel to post vuze questions...? [04:55] Jordan_U: I agree, with the GMA500 being a complete failure [04:55] I just need help setting up two different cards and three monitors ? [04:55] but outside of that one chip, so far the 945 and 950 chips are great. [04:55] I'm stuck on the, prior to last update, kernel because of the poulsbo driver. [04:56] can someone please go here http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/dual-panel-nautilus-for-ubuntu-karmic.html when i download the nautilus to replace the one i got i get a error because i already have the latest nautilus installed how to i fix this [04:56] W9ZEB: poulsbo is the unfortunate exception, there are going to release open source drivers for it though [04:56] Ok, I guess not and the new bug reporting system is so hard to use.....not worth the effort. [04:56] Jordan_U: I read that. However holding my breath, isn't something I'll be doing :) [04:56] Who can come up with the best caption for this photo: http://i37.tinypic.com/2llm7eu.jpg ? === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:57] Jordan_U: with luck I'll get a christmas present early, and Intel will release the drivers tomorrow. [04:57] ok i think i got it if i can somehow del nautilus without having to del ubuntu-desktop and the other depends would rm nautilus work then just install the downloaded file?? [04:57] 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] !ubuntu-desktop | webbb82 [04:58] 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] i know but in synaptic when i goto uninstall nautilus so i can reinstall a moded version it makes me also uninstall ubuntu-desktop how do ii get around thaT [04:59] hello? Am I typing into a vacuum? [04:59] how I could make a bootable usb stick with dd? I forgot the command [04:59] webbb82: There is nothing wrogn with uninstalling ubuntu-desktop [04:59] it's hard for me to imagine that UNR doesn't allow one to minimize the home screen.... [04:59] trying to dd UNR on usb stick [04:59] Hey guys, was wondering; i have a External USB HDD, with ubuntu on it, i have 3 PC's two with NVIDIA cards and one with ATI, both NVIDIA machines boot fine, but when it comes to the box with the ATI card x fails to start, cant even use the console (flickers really fast cant type at all), is there anyway to set this up so it'll swap what ever it needs to work on each pc ? [04:59] if not, this is ok, just wondering tho [04:59] well when i did that after a reboot i couldnt login [04:59] acovrig: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config which interface is the daemon bound to? [04:59] acovrig: :22 or localhost:22 [05:00] * DaZ is curious why does nautilus need shedload of patches to be as functional as dolphin [05:00] W9ZEB, would `netstat -lt | grep ssh` tell you? [05:00] Wow, I guess so [05:00] acovrig: installing openssh-server now [05:00] DaZ: because Qt4 based KDE apps demand much less oackages to function [05:00] discon [05:00] Bookman: it's possible nobody currently here knows the answer to your question.? [05:00] would rm nautilus del it without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop? [05:01] Bookman: don't ask to ask just ask. if someone knows tjhe answer they will respond. [05:01] hyperstream: Hold shift during boot to see the frub menu and choose recovery mode, install ssh so you can log in remotely and fix / debug X [05:01] webbb82: There's nothing dangerous about the removal of ubuntu desktop package. [05:01] what's a good rational speed for cdrecord to burn an ubuntu iso from the command line [05:01] ? [05:01] Bookman: I'm not going to waste your time by saying "gee bookman, I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about the problem you're having" :( Sorry. [05:01] Jordan_U, just going to buy and put a nvidia card in it, much easier, thanks tho [05:01] webbb82: Just remove nautilus via the package manager (and ubuntu-desktop will come along with it) [05:02] W9ZEB, that would not be a waste. At least an acknowledgment of a post. [05:02] acovrig: one moment please. [05:02] Anyone here have any experience with fuse? [05:02] for an old geezer cdrw [05:02] i already tried that but when i rebooted my computer it wouldnt start i just got stuck in ttyl [05:02] brb - rebooting [05:02] Bookman: that's not how irc works... [05:02] !anyone | unfunf [05:02] unfunf: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:02] alright [05:02] unfunf: I've used it once or twice. [05:03] I am trying to get the unmodified attributes of a fies in fuse. I need access to the original modified time (st_mtime), but in order to do this i need access to the original file path [05:03] skyl, 4x is always safe, even the most ancient of burners should manage it w/o wrecking the CD-ROM... [05:03] and i cannot see where fuse gives me such information [05:04] help? [05:04] basically i am taking all files copied into my root directory (the one managed by fuse) and redirecting them to another directory that is on the underlying filesystem [05:04] I'm trying to setup ubuntu with 2 video cards a nvida and a ati the nvida has monitors on it and the ati has one.. I have the nvida working but can't get the other one to go...??? any idea anyone ??? [05:04] but i create folders that represent the year&month of that particular file [05:04] 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] oh and it also uninstalls gnome-session and nautilus share [05:04] but the year/month is incorrect because i am accessing the file as it is created by fuse, not the original file [05:04] so do you have any idea how to get the original file path? [05:05] for example, i copy the file from somewhere outside of fuse, i need to get that path. [05:05] how can i remove nautilus without removing those gnome-session,nautilus-share and ubuntu-desktop [05:05] im trying to make my HTTP server public to everyone outside my subnet [05:05] well that's not an example, that's the idea :P [05:05] and if you don't know, do you know a channel here or on some other server that would be able to help me answer this question? [05:05] i cannot find an official fuse channel [05:05] webbb82: ubuntu-desktop isn't important [05:06] unfunf: What file system? Also ##linux or maybe #kernel would be better [05:06] ok but isnt gnome-session === cp is now known as Guest30035 [05:06] well the underlying filesystem is ext3 i believe [05:06] webbb82: try with dpkg -r [05:06] my fuse filesystem is just something ive made [05:07] please help? [05:07] anyone know how to hide the home screen in UNR karmic? it would be nice to see the wallpaper... [05:07] unfunf: You might be able to cheat using lsof but for a better answer try ##linux or #kernel [05:07] lsof, let me google that [05:07] i don't normally use linux [05:08] unfunf: it's "LiSt Open files" [05:08] hm [05:08] unfunf: :) [05:08] yeah id rather avoid that :P seems extremely hackish [05:08] cd [05:08] although i think ive gone about designing this os in the wrong way [05:08] err fs [05:08] unfunf: That's why I called it cheating :) [05:08] ? flash [05:08] hehe [05:08] damn it. im working on thanksgiving to try to figure this out [05:08] unfunf: me too. [05:09] i need to use exif headers too [05:09] waiting for dump to finish backing up a Xen Dom-U because our qa server ate it's lunch at 01:34 on thanksgiving. [05:09] but i can't access them until the file is finished writing, and the way i sort is during the open & write phase [05:09] so obviously my logic is flawed. i should maybe sort within readdir [05:10] BaseBallBoy: you are not asking an ubuntu question - your question is network related [05:10] You may not post new threads; You may not post replies; You may not post attachments; You may not edit your posts [05:10] why does it say that on ubuntuforums.org [05:10] 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? [05:10] Argh i was told to ask the question in #ubuntu [05:10] skyl: You aren't logged in [05:11] Jordan_U, I am though [05:11] am I hated for some unstated reason? [05:11] ssavelan is my name on there [05:11] I thought I had like 150 beans or something :P [05:11] hey boys. has anybody had the issue that when you unplug the power to a laptop running ubuntu, the screen goes black and must hard reset ? [05:12] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0 [05:12] Anyone use the lamp-server taskel yet? I'm having problems.. It's not querying me for a password [05:12] giantpune: not if the battery is alive and well, any more info? [05:12] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, logical block 0 [05:13] any ideas of how to diagnose what this means? [05:13] what other info would help fix it? [05:13] jackeveryman: I'll admit to not even knowing what that is, but I'm interested. [05:13] skyl: bad things ;( [05:13] taskel? [05:13] w9zeb yeah, google lamp-server [05:13] Jeruvy, but how to fiind out about them and their nature? what is sr0 === Colrol is now known as Rolcol [05:14] skyl: Your cdrom drive [05:14] it might mean that my crappy old broken HD is crappy old and broken, and that's not so bad .. [05:14] jackeveryman: ahh just a meta package for apache/mysql/php? [05:14] Jordan_U, that's actually what I was afraid of ... but it shouldn't be that bad? [05:14] it's what I seem to get when I put a disk in [05:15] skyl: typically a cd/dvd/blueray issue [05:15] w9zeb: yeah, basically, only it works for everyone but me :) [05:15] skyl: or some external drive is crapping out [05:15] how can I find out what devvice sr0 is? [05:15] jackeveryman: got it. [05:15] skyl: try 'mount' in a shell [05:16] al I have is a shell ;( [05:16] skyl: It's /dev/sr0 [05:16] jackeveryman: I've never used the metapackage. I've always just installed the parts manually. *shrug [05:16] jackeveryman: sorry I can't help you with your problem though :( [05:17] I'm back - long restart [05:17] w9zeb: That's cool, at least I unf***** my box after upgrading to 9.10, having winXP disappear from grub, updating grub to grub2 to make it detect xp, then getting error 15 and having to liveCD fix the bootoader. Yeah, I'm just happy I'm around. [05:17] what did I miss? [05:17] jackeveryman: heh. [05:18] all kinds of I/O errors after "/dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only" [05:18] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0 ... [05:18] after $ mount /dev/sr0 [05:18] W9ZEB, did you answer my question while I was rebooting, or are you still working on it? === Kernele is now known as kernele [05:19] acovrig: I didn't [05:19] jackeveryman: see warning in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 ; you need to use supergrub (not a live session) to boot into your normal installation and purge grub-pc with "apt-get purge grub-pc" (or purge grub2 if that's what you installed), and then "apt-get install grub2", even if you previously installed grub-pc. Don't run any upgrade-grub commands after the reinstallation. [05:19] so, it's SCSI HD, cdrw or SATA HD ... [05:19] acovrig: you're still unable to ssh user@ip address from another machine? [05:19] sshc: Oh it works fine now, I kicked it until it worked. [05:19] should I just play eenie meenie minee moe? [05:19] Connection refued or timed out [05:20] sshc: That's not true, see the "error 15" section on that page for the solution [05:20] sshc: There's an article in the wiki on how to fix it. [05:20] does anyone know of a way to change the default file manager [05:21] if it was a serious problem with the disk/cd I'm using would cdrecord act like everything is okay? [05:21] W9ZEB I think the lamp-server tasksel is for the server edition. That WOULD make sense, but I' [05:21] W9ZEB: *I'm still upset that I have to install all of those packages manually again [05:22] jackeveryman: at least it's not windows. when was that last time you "upgraded" and didn't ultimately regret not just doing a clean install :) [05:22] jackeveryman: tasksel is available for all versions [05:22] W9ZEB, Operation timed out, I can (ssh user@localhost just fine) [05:22] jackeveryman, and by manually you mean with $ sudo apt-get ? [05:22] acovrig: I assume you didn't edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config at all? [05:22] I just chaned no to yes (maybe) for X11Forwarding [05:22] that's it [05:23] skyl: haha yeah I know, I'm a lazy bastard. It's all the config files that get me [05:23] acovrig: hmmm. [05:23] it seems like my hit rate of making a good ubuntu CD is about 35% [05:23] Flannel: Well that specific tasksel isn't working for me, so I'm going to leave it be [05:24] W9ZEB: I've never upgraded windows without a full wipe and.. actually yeah, a new computer. I figured that would be hazardous to my mental health. [05:24] jackeveryman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP will walk you through the process (there's only about half a dozen packages) [05:24] :O [05:24] HELP ME NAO [05:24] I had 8.xx ubuntu, upgraded to 9.xx, didn't like the silence (no drivers for sound) and less settings, reinstalled 8.xx (I think 8.4) and now have this problem, it worked just fine in the first 8 and in the 9 [05:24] 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] acovrig: that's strage. you've got no firewall running, and you've got ssh listening on 0.0.0.0:12 [05:24] s/12/22 [05:24] baseballer790, ask an actual question. [05:25] any way to set a default Nice value for a program? [05:25] for any user? [05:25] 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] baseballer790: sure, first bit of help. press the key one to the left of "a" on your keyboard. next remove it. [05:25] baseballer790: Yes. [05:25] 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] 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 [05:26] (after it sucessfully installs .. ) [05:26] 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] Hi all.. [05:26] 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] acovrig: I'm at a bit of a loss regarding your ssh problem. that one's got me stumped. [05:26] O shit I'm being versioned [05:26] acovrig: I'm not going to insult you by asking if you're sure you've got the right address :) [05:26] EntityReborn, maybe /etc/security/limits.conf [05:27] venger, will look [05:27] 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) [05:28] What does it mean if I run a dpkg --status and it returns "Status: purge reinstreq half-configured" [05:28] I might try a different port later (its 11:28PM) - ttfn [05:28] 73 acovrig [05:29] thanks [05:32] Am I asking my question incorrectly or something? lol [05:32] what'a good program to edit a web page with? I don't feel like playing with the whole thing in gedit. [05:33] goose: so suggesting vim is right out. [05:34] could some one please help me open a port or verify my port is open on my karmic installation? [05:34] goose, screem or bluefish. [05:35] does ubuntu supply libs with their mingw32 packages? Is this the correct channel to ask this? [05:35] * NOOB100 is back from: what is kdevloper?. away time: 57sec. [05:36] * kcj1993 is here!

Similar to Dreamweaver for Windows? [05:39] my netstat says its listening on port for tcp6 [05:39] should this be tcp? [05:41] ... shouldn't Firefox have a web editor plugin? [05:41] Hey guys, i need a general question answered and its sort of ... vague so googling hasn't shown much promise [05:41] I think that'd be a cool thing [05:41] ask, Drake [05:41] what would you say in website development is most important to learn [05:41] I just learnt XHTML, javascript and CSS [05:42] is there a command to automatically go to the previous direcotry one was in? [05:42] I am invisible or my question sucks? :( [05:42] cd - [05:42] spO: cd - [05:42] spO: although thats only in command line [05:43] Awesome, just learned something! beats the heck out of Yahoo chat (that was years ago for me) [05:43] spO: if your looking for keyboard short cuts i think its alt + left arrow key, though don't quote me on that [05:43] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1002 [05:43] i installed ffmpeg-mt , but in the codec file i don't see a codec that is just ffmpeg ... ther eis ffmpeg2 and ffmpeg1 ...

[05:49] 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 [05:50] 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] ubottu === Colrol is now known as Rolcol === Ifrs is now known as alert2 [05:51] Drake, hard to say. #web is a decent channel to hang out in, most of the time. #html & #css likewise.

[05:52] 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] spO, the bug has to have all the info required by the devs then only it will be assigned to someone [05:53] sp0, almost all bug sorting & triage is done by volunteers. And there's lots of bugs. === USBuntu is now known as USBxD [05:53] so it has to have enough info for the person to be able to fix it [05:53] then someone can simply code it [05:53] is that what you are saying?

[05:53] sp0 can i see === angela is now known as Guest89880 [05:54] i'm on xchat 2.8.6, and I want to get all of the window panes/frames black and grey [05:54] ok, i got some more info about the laptop auto hibernating bug [05:54] sp0, it's been confirmed and marked as High importance, so the fact that it's not explicitly assigned isn't huge [05:54] when i unplug the cord, i am told that the battery is dead and the laptop dies [05:54] it doesnt matter if it s confirmed, it wont be taken up unless there is all data [05:55] giantpune, yes battery is dead, acer ? === iceberg_ is now known as iceberg [05:55] but i did cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state and it says my battery is not dead [05:55] indus, not always true.

[05:57] madpilot, if it is high importance , then i think it not being assigned to anyone is a big deal/huge [05:58] a... [05:58] indus, it does not affect 4000+ series cards, i think [05:58] i speculate that it might be related to refresh rate [05:58] sp0, different teams have different practices, I've no idea how the graphic card/drive folks do business [05:59] sp0 go to #ubuntu-bugs for ore speedy help on this [05:59] T.T..

[06:00] how to run compiz? i am trying to active the effect in my ubuntu [06:01] your crazy dude [06:01] moszer, it's quite likely running by default already [06:01] 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] does anyone on know any abut bt878 tuner card [06:01] i filled in on ubottu :D [06:02] i'm using ubuntu with virtual box, can the effect still work? [06:02] dave99: there is help on tvtime site [06:02] really [06:02] dave99: yeah [06:02] i can't find the cardlist [06:02] dave99: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/ [06:03] dave99: which card is it? can i see dmesg output? [06:03] it's the audio [06:03] i can't get the audio to work [06:03] tvtime is written in perl.. [06:04] 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] does ubuntu supply libs with their mingw32 packages? Is this the correct channel to ask this? [06:04] kevdog: yes [06:04] ok [06:04] 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. [06:05] Madpilot: remove compiz? then install Metacity? [06:05] just did a search for bluefish in ubuntu software center, and I got two with seemingly no difference... Why? [06:06] Flare_laptop: where because within my /usr/i586-mingw32msvc directory I'm not finding a pkgconfig or sys-root directory! [06:06] moszer, metacity doesn't do any of the shiny compositing special effects compiz does. which is why I like it. [06:06] Madpilot: & why cant ubuntu be used in v-box? [06:06] kevdog: Now that is beyond me [06:06] moszer: it can be used in vbox [06:06] would ati hstv wonder card work [06:06] moszer: but visual effects might not be able to be used in it [06:06] hdtv [06:06] Flare_Laptop: I'm wondering if this might not be the correct channel to ask this [06:06] ow that why [06:06] jo [06:07] moszer, it can be. It is a lot. Not sure if compiz works there though. [06:07] kevdog, mingw32 is a windows library [06:07] exit [06:07] Younder: Yes I'm trying to cross compile [06:07] thanks [06:07] Younder: Yes I'm trying to cross compile Handbrake [06:08] que pasada [06:08] kevdog, first and formost you need the cross compiler version of gcc [06:08] thats all, thanks y'all [06:08] bye [06:08] Younder: Doesnt mingw provide this? [06:09] the tvtime site does really have much help [06:09] doesn't [06:09] sorry [06:09] kevdog, though since you are using the same processor (ix86) it is mostly for setting some parameters [06:09] hehe [06:09] yuhuuu [06:10] hi [06:10] kevdog, mingw32 is a minimal gcc environment for windows === IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne [06:10] kevdog, as such it doesn't cross compile [06:11] kevdog, but, if I understand you correctly you want to PORT a linux app Handbrake to Windows? [06:11] Younder: yes [06:12] 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 [06:13] kevdog, a cross compile is translating from one processor arcitecture to another [06:13] kevdog, you are PORTing software.. === losha_ is now known as losha [06:13] Is there a problem with sourceforge.net?

[06:17] CHESLYN, have you mounted it? [06:17] lstarnes, no that would be porting. There is a bit confusion on the topic though and some people say cross-compiling [06:17] Younder: that's not porting [06:17] hi there [06:18] Younder: those links -- which Ive seen are pretty old -- [06:18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porting [06:18] anybody knows about firewalls?

[07:34] heisoundfunny333: because they dont depend on you and the other person with the same hardware being around at the same time [07:34] well i got that solved [07:34] links [07:35] heisoundfunny333: ubuntuforums.org [07:35] get the opera for ubuntu @kcj [07:35] dayspring "cd /" then "cd /usr/share/app-install/icons === kb is now known as Guest76687 [07:36] ok [07:36] Blackshadow cool it is so easy to for get permissions it happens to all of us :D [07:36] no i did got that updated [07:36] hey [07:36] actually i am using backtrack [07:36] im having trouble making partitions [07:36] it keeps giving me an error saying [07:36] got it [07:36] Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.

[07:38] Dayspring that should take care of it. one final check is to open your synaptic package manager under admin [07:38] pfred1: Yes, all distros are ( or will be ) using no xorg.conf by default [07:38] ok [07:38] CHESLYN I use mencoder from mplayer [07:38] any perl programmer??

[07:39] Blackshadow: #perl can help with perl [07:39] 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] ok [07:39] bobo: Try handbrake [07:39] pfred1: what do you mean? [07:39] CHESLYN what i mean is I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. [07:39] lol, that's what i'm actually tryin right now. prayin that it'll work [07:40] dayspring click on the lower left of the package manager "status" [07:40] pfred1:k but do you have a slave? [07:40] ok...done [07:40] CHESLYN beyond that the resolutions setup are inadequate. [07:41] Dayspring select "installed" and scrool down to banchee click it and mark it for complete removal [07:41] 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] CHESLYN I'm new to Ubuntu but not exactly new to Linux I have seen things working better. [07:41] ok done [07:41] Dayspring remove it apply changes [07:41] how to fix [07:41] Jordan_U well I hate to break it to anyone but I had better hardware detection in 2003 [07:41] alright...that part is done [07:41] missing dependences [07:42] 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] pfred1: What gfx card? [07:42] pfred1: so any idea that i can show my slave drive on ubuntu [07:42] Jordan_U and got the XF86Config files to prove it too! [07:42] so should i install it in the software center? [07:42] pfred1: Anecdotes don't really mean much :) [07:42] Dayspring reinstall it and you should be good as new :D [07:43] dayspring yes thats fine :D [07:43] Jordan_U sec let me check [07:43] ok just installed....let's see what happens [07:43] Jordan_U ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF [07:44] 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] CHESLYN do you have gparted installed ? [07:44] run the cfdisk cheslyn [07:44] Dayspring fingers srossed :D [07:44] Jordan_U oh i have full resolution it is the dozen other resolutions I seem to be missing [07:44] :-$ didn't work [07:44] in console [07:44] 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? [07:45] Jordan_U that and i am getting horrible artifacts on my screen when I drag a window [07:45] ok then go to the banchee site down load the tar file and install it in a seperate directory :D [07:45] pfred1: i think this is helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510606 [07:45] Jordan_U which is why I want to check the dolor depth and hopefully change it to something that'll make that stop!

[07:52] muri_one: You can buy a computer from system76 or Dell http://dell.com/ubuntu [07:52] ron-l-j, "sudo apt-get install gparted" will likely work better... [07:53] ron-l-j, you missed install [07:53] Dayspring open your mb folder and click the tar ball and use the extract here option [07:53] pfred1: Xorg --configure [07:53] Jordan_U because something tells me this is configged like garbage now [07:53] sound works only in front channel [07:53] Jordan_U ta will try that!

[07:54] pfred1: Sorry, only one dash ( -configure ) [07:54] ok got it [07:54] Jordan_U OK [07:54] Jordan_U: that might be exactly what I need, thanks [07:54] pfred1: I doube that artifacts would be caused by misconfiguration, sounds like a driver problem to me [07:54] Jordan_U one more question run that in an xterm in X or drop to a console and run it? [07:55] muri_one: np [07:55] and i cd to the mb folder [07:55] Jordan_U I doubt i am using the correct driver [07:55] pfred1: Console [07:55] Dayspring now you need to get in side that folder using the command line can you get there ?

[07:57] or is it sudo apt-get make install ? [07:57] Jordan_U usually I'm a nvidia kind of a guy but I'm fresh out now [07:57] Dayspring neither [07:57] 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] oh crap...:( [07:57] Dayspring we are going to compile it from source [07:57] ok what is it? [07:58] 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] pfred1: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [07:58] there is a very easy ati fix [07:58] Jordan_U sure [07:58] Hi eveybody [07:59] I added a .soundrc file but how do I know that it is loading properly? [07:59] Dayspring please "pwd" for me :D [07:59] i'm in the extracted folder [07:59] Can I know how to use Reliance netconnect on my ubuntu 8.10?. [07:59] well dell is out. It's not letting me build a ubuntu system without buying a monitor [07:59] newby: i think its supposed to be .asoundrc [08:00] ron-l-j: what are you trying to achieve by recompiling it?

[08:08] pfred1: np, there may be a good reason why it's not using ati though so don't think just adding that is a sure bet [08:09] neriko: It looks like you didn't set up Medibuntu properly. One sec, I'll get you the instructions.

This just started happening yesterday [08:10] Jordan_U I've been thinking I'll merge some info from an olf XF86Config file i have on this system because the monitor is "unknown" really I should just get a new gfx card [08:10] neriko: or, "sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring" should also do it.

Im assuming its a pulseaudio problem. How can I fix this? [08:12] Lostinspace_46 thanks & ..u forgoe install "sudo apt-get install emerald" [08:13] Oracle_, OOPS, my bad [08:13] Dayspring: dude [08:13] I've searched the ubuntu forums, and a few other ppc linux specific forums, and can't find a solution for this problem: medibuntu repositories don't support powerpc for karmic koala. Is it possible to use jaunty medibuntu on karmic? Or is there another recommended solution? [08:13] just reinstall banshee from the repo [08:14] i tried that already DaZ....i really screwed it up [08:14] Don't forget alt F2 emerald --replace [08:14] thank you Lostinspace_46 [08:14] Oracle_, I have aliases set for a lot of commands, so I sometimes misspeak. [08:14] Dayspring: and what happened when you tried [08:14] ron-l-j: i'm having problem my achivement and it serious now can oyu help me [08:14] sukumar, You are most welcome [08:14] Np [08:14] Dayspring what happened ? [08:15] thats why i said forgot [08:15] because recompiling it and listening to someone who told you to remove binaries won't do any good. [08:15] pfred1: This isn't a PPC mac is it? [08:15] Cheslyn you are ??? what now ? [08:15] well, one i couldn't get the shortcut added back to the menus and two, it won't launch.....and it still won't launch :( [08:15] Jordan_U ~ [08:15] moonbaker: It'd be unsupported, but you could try it. What out of medibuntu were you planning to install? [08:15] If I remove puleaudio package from my system I also lose the volume applet so is it possible to remove pulseaudio on 9.10? [08:15] pfred1: ? [08:15] Jordan_U opps just got back from cat there no it is an old Gateway [08:16] 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? [08:16] LinuxGuy2009: you can modify volume in command line "alsamixer" if youre not using pulseaudio === Guest36060 is now known as DrRobinTosh\ === DrRobinTosh\ is now known as DrRobinTosh [08:16] pfred1: Just so you know I have to leave in about 15 minutes [08:17] Dayspring the problen is deeper than I can help you with right now. I would save my personal files to a thumb drive or a external hard drive and start fresh [08:17] Jordan_U I never used this PC very much in the past but now that I am using it I am not liking this video adapter much I think i need to change it. [08:17] ron-l-j: ... [08:17] Lostinspace_46: You can do anything from the LiveCD [08:17] thanks again for your help ron....i appreciate it....take care [08:17] maco: Theres no GTK gui front end or alternative? [08:17] Dayspring: what was the issue that you were having? [08:17] EVERYONE makeing a /home partition on your Linux hard disc will save you from loosing your personal files and makeing a fress install easy [08:18] LinuxGuy2009: you could use the kde frontend, kmix. but gnome is all about pulseaudio these day [08:18] *days [08:18] my banshee....i really screwed it up. i uninstalled it and deleted it from the menu sound and video....reinstalled and can't launch it or get it back on the menus [08:18] maco: I wish they would have tested it more instead of integrating a broken system. [08:18] Jordan_U, Do I need to do anything special? Like to delete files? [08:19] Dayspring: logs. [08:19] show me the logs! [08:19] Cheslyn what are you running in to ? [08:19] ron-l-j: I think you are using an overly convoluted method to fix Dayspring's problem [08:19] Lostinspace_46: What specifically are you trying to do and why? [08:19] ron-l-j: there is'nt even a command that i can execute in terminal to get gparted? [08:19] Добрый день всем [08:19] Dayspring: try reinstalling it (sudo aptitude reinstall banshee) [08:19] I did a "sudo remove --purge" on gimp. I have about 125 files left over.

[08:20] [08:20] Dayspring: type banshee [08:20] moonbaker, please don't post gibberish [08:21] moonbaker, did you have a support question [08:21] Lostinspace_46: What specifically are you trying to do and why?

[08:23] Dayspring right click on your misic file and select open with banshee [08:23] lol can't even do that ron!!! :D [08:23] Jordan_U, "sudo" didn't work, nor does"sudo -i" [08:24] Lostinspace_46: In what way didn't it work? [08:24] pfred1, you mean "focus follows mouse"? I think so. === Oracle_ is now known as AniX [08:24] can you repair ubuntu with a CD? [08:24] Madpilot I was never a big fan of gnome but it is better than the version of KDE I have now [08:24] Dayspring: I don't think this warrants a system repair [08:24] cann you ply them with movie player DAYSPRING ? [08:24] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [08:25] pfred1: there's an option for it in System -> Preferences -> Windows [08:25] Dayspring you can repair it with your live cd [08:25] pfred1, System->Preferences->Windows has a "select windows when the mouse moves over them" option - sounds like what you want [08:25] rww ta [08:25] yeah they can play with rhythmbox and movie player [08:25] Dayspring: if you purge banshee and reinstall it, it should probably work again [08:25] Fayntic, hi [08:26] Jordan_U, Sorry..more specifically "sudo -i" should give me full permissions on all folders. However it let me remove some folders but not others. And seemingly no files. [08:26] !give me a test [08:26] * giantpune_ gives me a perl script [08:26] Oh no, I won't, I'm not like some of those nasty scripts' users! [08:26] Dayspring: you may also need to delete ~/.banshee if it exists in order to clear your settings [08:26] Madpilot yes once i found it I fixed it waaaay better! [08:26] lstarnes: i think he doesn't want it to work ;f [08:26] what is the command for that lstarnes? [08:26] giantpune_, disable that script [08:26] ron-l-j: must i install it without verification?and after that it says The following packages cannot be authenticated!gparted [08:26] Madpilot I got my wondow shading too! [08:26] Lostinspace_46: What is the exact command you are running and what is the error that you get? [08:26] lstarnes, I don't know sudo not working is weird [08:26] pfred1, to each his own; I tried the 'focus follows mouse' thing a while back, it drove me nuts. [08:26] Dayspring: sudo aptitutde purge banshee && sudo aptitude install banshee [08:27] Madpilot its all in the delay and i guess being used to it [08:27] Madpilot its all in the delay and i guess being used to it === jonz is now known as jonzbcc === Mud|afk is now known as Mud [08:27] #list [08:27] !list | jone1 [08:27] jone1: This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:28] Jordan_U, No command per-se. I used "sudo -i" and made the password, expecting to select all the files and folders and delete them all at once. [08:28] !list [08:28] pfred1: If you mean selecting a windows when you move the mouse over it and then raising it after a period of time, yes gnome has that option [08:28] Lostinspace_46, what? [08:28] hello [08:28] Dayspring you should do a reboot and try to play the files again, [08:28] omfg [08:28] that was awesome [08:28] Lostinspace_46: "made the password"? [08:28] hey whats a good desktop recorder for ubuntu???? [08:29] ok brb [08:29] Jordan_U yeah others fixed me up with where to find it i feel much better now and will stay in The Gnome the new KDE is horrible! [08:29] pcbuilder97: "desktop recorder" meaning something that'll take a video recording of your desktop? [08:29] yes [08:29] Lostinspace_46, for one thing you don't 'make' the password with sudo, you 'use' it [08:29] ubottu: screencast | pcbuilder97 [08:29] pcbuilder97: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [08:29] CHESLYN it asks you y/n ? correct ? [08:29] it looks like you can't have a bad HD plugged in and try to install ubuntu to an adjacent good HD ... [08:29] Lostinspace_46, passwd sets the password [08:29] pfred1: Have you tried the xorg.conf I sent you? [08:29] ron-l-j: what must i do ? [08:30] i would like to explain a weird thing about quest/vintela or authentication services to someone. It executes the logonscript if i go root and type 'login', but it does not if i just reboot the computer and authenticate. does anybody seen this before? thanks [08:30] Jordan_U, when I do "sudo -i" then I use "sudo password root" and enter a password [08:30] skyl: that tends to be the case, since various parts of Ubuntu will try to access the bad HD, yes. [08:30] pcbuilder97, there's "istanbul" - never used it myself [08:30] ok thanx i tried istanbul and record my desktop and they didnt work ill try the athers and see what happens [08:30] !give me something random [08:30] * giantpune_ gives me a cherry tree [08:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:30] can anyone recommend an app to strip audio from an .mp4? [08:30] Lostinspace_46: you should not set a root password [08:30] Lostinspace_46: Why did you do that? [08:30] Jordan_U i downloaded it but I'll probably fix the modeline section put in my old ones and I am thinking of just putting a new video adapter into this machine too [08:30] Lostinspace_46, second sudo is a command line utillity, you can't 'select' anything [08:30] giantpune_, kill that script right away, please. [08:31] pfred1: With fbdev you can only have one resolution ( determined at boot ) [08:31] CHeslyn when you run sudo apt-get install gparted does it ask you if you want to install y/n ? or does it fail giving you no option to enter y [08:31] 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? [08:31] does anyone know how berkely's signature is in so many man pages? I ask especially in reference to the ones like logger, which even says at its footer that its a *linux* util. [08:31] Jordan_U yeah it is horrible I tried changing res doing some youtube earlier and was like wth? [08:32] jonz: a lot of *nix networking utilities originally came from UC Berkeley's BSD [08:32] Jordan_U from poking around some and not having settings in places i should have I knew something major bad was up. [08:32] pfred1: I need to manually use fbdev because of a crappy sis card I have but I've never heard of it being used by default [08:32] JONZ berkely is the place where BSD UNIX is based and many linux libraries and command come from UNIX [08:32] so that man pages were left unchanged? even though that one was clearly changed since BSD? [08:33] Jordan_U I just loaded this machine up yesterday I haven't changed very much yet. [08:33] Berkley Science Department [08:33] ron-l-j: no [08:33] ron-l-j: Berkeley Software Distribution [08:33] pfred1: I need to leave soon, do you mind trying that xorg.conf now to satisfy my curiosity? :) [08:33] Jordan_U i was running SuSE 8.2 since 2003 before and hadn't messed with much there for quite some time now. [08:33] YES Lstarnes thank you :D [08:34] Jordan_U sure i'll drop it in and restart X you've been a great help [08:34] jonz: I'm not seeing a "Berkeley signature" in the three manpages Ubuntu has entitled "logger" [08:34] I know what berkley is, and what bsd stahnds for. it was more just a curious thing of why they'd still have BSD signatures on them if they've all probably been edited in one way or another [08:34] wt ... 69% and I get errno 5 input/output error [08:34] rww: sorry if this is a lot of text: The logger command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/. [08:34] Still part of the unix shell [08:34] 4.3 Berkeley Distribution June 6, 1993 4.3 Berkeley Distribution [08:34] Jordan_U, OK I read a tut, It said type "sudo -i" and that would temporarily be like logging in as root. It also said the I had to enable it by typing "sudo passwd root". 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] I guess it's time to check into booting from usb ... [08:35] 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] jonz: the pages are often changed but the editors often leave the BSD signatures [08:35] why can the install not back up and try again where there was an IO error? [08:35] skyl Unetbootin works great [08:36] Jordan_U bbiab [08:36] ron-l-j, yeah, that's how I did this netbook that I'm typing on [08:36] 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] ron-l-j: yes it ask me y/n [08:36] 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] cool U was running UNR then went to moblin [08:36] * andrew[andrboot] sighs [08:36] hey I want to log-into my computer using ssl. How do I look up the adress for it? [08:36] but seems a little odd for the desktop ... I wonder if the bios will even let me boot from usb .. [08:36] bazhang any ideas? [08:37] gerzel: ssh, you mean? [08:37] CHESLYN type Y and hit enter [08:37] ssh yeah [08:37] 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] sorry its late [08:37] gerzel: you can use ifconfig to find the local address [08:37] Jordan_U, OK. I'll accept that, but why does it not give me full permissions? [08:37] check your ipconfig [08:37] ifconfig [08:37] gerzel, you don't. But if you are alread loggen in use ifaddress to figure it out [08:38] ifconfig, sorry [08:38] Jordan_U, Or am I missing something here? [08:38] 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] 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] 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] 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] ron-l-j: i did it n it says The following packages cannot be authenticated! [08:38] gerzel, on the whole it totally depends how you set up your computer === zeltak2 is now known as zeltak [08:38] 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] interesting. alright, have a good night everyone [08:38] gerzel, like do you have a stationary IP or do you use DHCP [08:39] Cheslyn you have to up date your sources list in the package manager [08:39] gerzel: u can use "netstat -nlt" to check if your server is listening the port 22 [08:39] inki-68 check alsa/pulse.. mostlikey pulse fails :) [08:39] chrispitzer: does the partition have a lock icon next to it when you run off the LiveCD? [08:40] gerzel: make sure that openssh-server is installed [08:40] Someone having problem with the sound in Ubuntu 9.10 ? [08:40] gerzel, do you have a hostname,a nd does the 'a?' lan see it etc [08:40] I'm back again [08:40] 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.

[09:16] That's what'im doing, but it's a cross problem [09:16] DannyButterman: the server clearly needs configuring, the client should just connect. Its the servers job to organise connectivity etc [09:17] DannyButterman: try connecting as another user, it may ork. If not, its the server [09:17] does Ubuntu run well on the ASUS eee 1005 netbook?

[09:18] cool -- just checking if there were known issues/probs [09:18] DannyButterman, if you can connect to that then it is the server. [09:18] apple: that wasnt part of the question [09:19] apple: it will install and run, you'd have to look at the hardware and find guides etc [09:19] Cheslyn do you follow that ????

[09:25] Steel__: yes [09:25] 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..

[09:26] ron-l-j: after that ? [09:26] 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] hmm, nope, good point, I'll look at that [09:27] wicd just does it all better imo, w/o any extra work....from my experiences with multiple distros [09:27] i use pkill gdm to install nvidia driver ....& now my ubuntu works fine with nivdia 190.45.............but is there any othere way to stop gdm... [09:27] ????? [09:27] antonius: interfaces file willwork in any linux distro, gui or not [09:27] anix [09:27] Hi [09:27] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:28] ya steil try try that but not working [09:28] ActionParsnip1: yes. not the point i was making tho...was just stating that wicd has ALWAYS worked better for me...so i encourage people to try it [09:28] CHESLYN when your gedit is open you want to copy this in to your web browser http://paste.ubuntu.com/329177/ [09:28] so i use pkill [09:29] hi, can someone help me with installing linux? I installed the 686 version and need to swap it for the 386 version [09:29] .... [09:29] haha [09:29] antonius: fair point,theres wifi-radar too. i use interfaces file with static ip, speeds up boot too and you dont have nm/wicd sat in ram :D [09:30] i tried "sudo apt-get install linux-386", but it says "couldn't find package linux-386" [09:30] CHESLYN note my sources list is 64 bit [09:30] Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version [09:30] default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.31-15-generic; make sure that the version is being [09:30] correctly set by --iscurrentdistro [09:30] Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.QwiTiP [09:30] Is anyone else having a problem with 26.3.1-15? I can't boot it. I Installed a load of updates yesterday and when i booted up this morning there was that to choose from too :/. [09:30] wtf is that?

[09:30] a931bw: use pastebin [09:31] thats not big text >.> [09:31] zerq: i have multiple interfaces file, i just copy the relevant file into the main seat [09:31] ron-l-j: k im trying everything [09:31] todkon: ok ? [09:31] aboeing: Ubuntu doesn't have a 386-specific kernel. [09:31] Younder: the 386 kernel? i read that on a number of tutorials/posts [09:31] hi, running do-release-upgrade fails with: http://dpaste.com/125789/ . But i could manually download these files. Where would i have to put them so do-release-upgrade does not have to download them? thx [09:31] a931bw, it's 4 lines in a channel with 1300 users. Use pastebin. [09:31] rww: oh,.. so how do i install a 386 kernel? === cp is now known as Guest63255 [09:31] aboeing: Which processor do you have? [09:32] aboeing, but you are already running it.. [09:32] ActionParsnip1: that works if you know the settings before hand for every access point [09:32] rww: i am using a normal PC to install linux onto a hard drive, that I am then putting into a PC with a penitum M chip. [09:32] when i type alsamixer i get 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory' but when i add sudo i can see the mixer. any tips? [09:33] just upgraded to koala, was running alsa only (no pulse), now have no sound at all. Kept old pulse config files during upgrade. Please advice [09:33] aboeing: Pentium M chips will work fine with Ubuntu's standard linux-image-generic kernel. [09:33] zerq: true but i get told the deal and i formulate a new file,my systems are low end so i like to have ram free so i dont use nm type apps [09:33] Younder: yes, but i installed it on a new pc, and then tried to put the hdd back into the old pc and it wouldnt boot because of unsupported instructions [09:33] rww: it complains about unsupported instructions [09:33] aboeing, ahhh [09:33] fireball: i lost audio as well. [09:34] aboeing, so what processor does the old PC use? [09:34] fireball: what do u see when u type 'alsamixer' ? [09:34] fireball: also what do u see when u type 'aplay -l' [09:34] 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] 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] aboeing, have you considered a cross compile of the kernel? [09:34] owen: I see "alsamixer v1.0.20" [09:35] zerq: not had a problem so far, horses for courses lad [09:35] fireball: ok, i guess it's not the same issue as mine [09:35] rww: nah i mean i386, instead of i686 [09:35] I find pulseaudio dies on ibex every few days, meaning I have to reboot my ubuntu computer more frequently than my vista machine these days. Is there any way to make pulse audio work consistantly? [09:35] younder: no i havent.. i'll look into it. [09:36] It's *very* frustrating.

[09:36] if you have dual monitors... and you're watching a youtube video, say you want to full screen it.. is there a way to full screen it on a single monitor? rather than overlapping both? [09:36] aboeing: i386 is for cpu's circa 1990 and run at 40Mhz MAX [09:36] aboeing: is the CPU 40Mhz? [09:37] Cheslyn If you follow the ubuntu tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine and get /etc/apt/sources.list replaced as a whole or one source at a time you wil have mastered ubuntu problem solving [09:37] 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] ActionParsnip1: no, its about a 800mhz, pentium chip [09:37] CHESLYN everything is just a text file in linux :D [09:37] archangelpetro: yes, enable xinerama [09:37] Steel__: haha, sorry, I got side tracked [09:38] ron-l-j: find a plan9 troll [09:38] Cheslyn I have to sleep it is 337 am here good night all :D [09:38] and he'll explain you you're wrong [; [09:38] aboeing: then you dont want i386, it will work but you will be crippling the CPU as it wont use all the functionality in the chip [09:38] fireball, how do i do that? [09:38] Also, what does "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused" when testing audio? I always seem to get it after audio dies in Amarok/last.fm and I try testing sound at Sound Preferences? [09:38] todkon: np :) [09:38] aboeing: you want the i686 [09:38] night ron-l-j [09:38] aboeing: i386 doesnt even have MMX functionality [09:38] fireball - please change nick [09:39] i hear audio only as sudo. please advice. [09:39] <_TOM_> are there some tools to view the difference from the patch file conveniently? thanks [09:39] owen1_: is your user in the audio group? [09:39] _TOM_: patch file is just a text file [09:39] I mean, unless I am seriously expected to reboot more frequently than a windows machine to maintain workable audio... === Fireball_afk is now known as Fireball [09:39] fireball: how do i enable xinerama?

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. What am I doing wrong? [09:45] Kinda late -- trying to listen to a DVD only on my USB headset, but it doesn't seem to be working no matter what I try.. anyone know of either a media player that I can specifically select the device or any way I can just force ANY player to use my headset? [09:46] Steel__: not sure, I did it through Gnomes User & Groups application, I forgot where the file is in /etc [09:46] Is there any way to get to a console without X in ubuntu? I need to install something that requires X not be running [09:46] I can pair my bluetooth headset in Karmic but I can't get any sound. any thoughts? [09:46] owen1: useradd -G audio $USER [09:46] Antagonist: init 3 [09:46] Antagonist: Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a console, then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop GNOME and Xorg. [09:47] or stop gdm ;f [09:47] Antagonist: When you're done, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" to start it up, and Ctrl-Alt-F7 if it doesn't automatically put you back to Xorg.

I installed nvidia drivers a few weeks ago and it worked great until I did an update and the xorg.conf was modified and I couldn't get the card working again :( [09:50] Sleep__: Thanks for the help, but I hadn't realized how tired I was, I'll try to resolve this tommorrow :) [09:50] owen1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343797 [09:51] owen: change bider in the command to your username [09:51] 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 ? [09:52] i have no sound, but card recognised, please help [09:52] darksector: you can run: sudo apt-get -f install [09:52] *sigh* What a surprise, it DID stuff something up, now X wont start at all [09:52] ActionParsnip1: that'll just do it online [09:52] ActionParsnip1: need to do it from the packages that i just transferred [09:52] hi [09:52] startx?

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] darksector, you don't tranfer packages in that way [09:53] 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] darksector: you must have satisfied deps on the system you downloaded so the deb wasnt downloaded [09:53] ActionParsnip1: ah ok [09:53] is there a way to fix that? [09:53] it seems to have happened after an updatre [09:53] darksector, liux file system just isn't that consistent [09:53] Younder: ok, so its just online installation then [09:54] darksector: you can tell apt-get to only download debs if you want [09:54] ActionParsnip1: yeah ok thanks a lot [09:54] So it said it make a backup of my X config file. Where would I find the backup and the new one? [09:54] np [09:54] Younder: thanks [09:54] darksector, the problem is you are not updating the soft links. You would have to ln -s the whole lot [09:55] 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?

I was wondering if someone could assist me in resolving some issues with virtualbox kernel modules on Ubuntu 9.04. [10:03] 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] mot1, maybe I have been lucky, but I have never had a problem installing NVIDEA drivers.. [10:03] "/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start" ends in "fail", but that doesn't tell me much. [10:03] ActionParsnip1: nivida repo? [10:03] 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] lukas____: dmesg [10:04] Antagonist: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [10:04] Younder: +1 [10:04] Please someone answer me -- I've been asking for like almost 45...

I won't buy anything else [10:04] vega: nothing in there :s [10:05] <_TOM_> there is beyondcompare for ubuntu? [10:05] mot1: do you use a CRT monitor? [10:05] nul: Hmm.. Never noticed a way to do that.. It may depend on the app and how well its supports different sound settings it might be doable [10:05] mot1: Hey, thats just happenned to me.

I've got a NVidia Geoforce GT220 with a DVi connection and a VGA connection. 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] Wow, didn't realise ubuntu had any support for non-stable packages [10:07] Kottizen, Go to Synaptic and type pptp [10:07] kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz [10:08] what is the kernel name? [10:08] Kottizen, install the VPN Connection software then you should be able to create a VPN [10:08] _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] 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] mot1: thanks! :D [10:08] Kottizen, No probs [10:08] How do I fix my space bar so that messages go in without having to use the space bar on my screen. [10:08] and here on my desktop, if I play a video with 9.10, few seconds later, the sound goes away... until i readjust the system volume... [10:09] it's retarded! :(((((( [10:09] Kottizen, Sorry, I meant the Add/Remove option, not synaptic [10:09] kandjar, yes, that would be annoying. what sound card do you have?

[10:11] mot1: perfect :D [10:11] that what i need to readjust to reenable the sound on my desktop [10:12] oh wow [10:12] on my laptop, i also have it. if i move it from 0 to 25% i have no sound at all, and 25%+ the sound it set to max [10:12] !netsplit [10:12] 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 [10:12] netslpit [10:12] :D [10:13] kandjar, I have intel inegrated audio too, and it works here [10:14] !find snd-bt-sco [10:14] kandjar: when it happens run: dmesg | tail [10:14] Package/file snd-bt-sco does not exist in karmic [10:14] kandjar, I hate net splits.. [10:14] ActionParsnip1: k [10:15] ActionParsnip1: nothing changed [10:15] kandjar: it won't, its for you to read, you can see whats going on and websearch for guides based on the output [10:15] ActionParsnip1: ???? [10:16] usually I love linux, then every once in a while you try to recompile your kernel with some 2 y/o instructions that were never that good [10:16] hi [10:17] hello, I'm trying to get sound out of my bluetooth Headset in ubuntu 9.10 karmic. Headset is paired with Blueman. In Volume control PULSE AUDIO, only INTERNAL AUDIO ANALOG STEREO is available. does Pulseaudio not detect my bluetooth??? [10:17] skyl, best way to avoid that: avoid compiling your own kernels... [10:17] it's fu... irritating, in 2009 not being able to have an OS which can manage the osunds properly... [10:17] 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] kandjar: linux isnt so supported by hardware manufacturers [10:18] 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] kandjar, get a soundblaster sound kit then.. It has a external volume control [10:18] Dr_Willis: I really don't know. What does it means ? [10:18] 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] kandjar: when the sound goes to zero, run the command and websearch some of the output, see what you find [10:18] ActionParsnip1: i m not talking about dealing with latest hardware or crazy video gfx card, it's a stupid sound issue!!! [10:18] kandjar: if hardware manufacturers supported linux then this issue wouldnt occur [10:19] kandjar, calm down.. === bobcat is now known as Guest88225 [10:19] kandjar: it could be 20 years old, or came out yesterday, its irrelevant [10:19] fm: read that guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio (it seems a little out of date also) the sco ones are not as good quality and no longer maintained.. go down about 1/2 the guide to the 'installing high quality 'a2d' drivers' [10:19] and hardware manufacturers don't support linux because linux makes it virtually impossible to support anything except open-source drivers... [10:19] kandjar, I am using the same hardware, and it works here [10:19] i appology guys, i m a bit upset.. .it's been DAYS/WEEKS for me [10:20] it's self-inflicted tragedy due to near fundamentalistic approach of only open source software being acceptable. [10:20] i m just tired to spending my time fixing stuff which for me should work out of the box... [10:20] kandjar, so more likely it is a setup problem [10:20] ah crap, I put grub on myy flash drive instead of the drive I installed too [10:20] mmm [10:20] when ever i find a sustem with sound issues on a new machine. I test with different live cd/disrtos to see if it works for any of them [10:21] skyl: i got grub2 set up on a flash drive so i can boot iso files with it. :) [10:21] kandjar: sometimes it will have multiple sound devices....and will automatically choose the one ur aren't using..havce you tried all the devices listed in the tray app [10:21] Dr_Willis, well, that was working but now it just hangs [10:21] Grub (cursor) .... I'm in grub hell now [10:21] ALSA, OSS, HD AUDIO, etc...try them all, trial and error-like [10:21] antonius: i do have multiple sound device, since the video card also does sound output [10:22] a video card with a sound card built in? Thats diffrent. [10:22] kandjar, open the tray app, and try all the devices listed [10:22] Dr_Willis: yeah but that's not what i m using [10:22] kandjar, do you have a HDMI port on the video card? [10:22] Plug extra speakers into it. :) see if you get sound out.. You could build up a 20.2 sound system!@ :) [10:22] Dr_Willis: it's due to the HDMI output [10:23] Younder: yes [10:23] kandjar, that's most likely your problem [10:23] Guys i wanna run a cron once every Minute.. Can someone give me a format please ? [10:23] can someone tell me the what the newest ubuntu kernel is? [10:23] would it just be * * * * * ? [10:23] so if hd0 is the flashdrive and hd1 is the HD I'm installing too ... I can tell the install to put grub on hd1 ... and then whn I pull the usb drive .. it will actually be hd0 but it will like it... [10:23] hdmi is so not worth the bother [10:24] kandjar, do you use the HDMI port? [10:24] ShapeShifter499: http://www.kernel.org [10:24] nop [10:24] i dont' use the hdmi port [10:24] ShapeShifter499: 2.6.31 for Karmic, 2.6.32 for the current development version. [10:24] !info linux-image | ShapeShifter499 [10:24] ShapeShifter499: linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.15.28 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [10:24] kandjar, then disable it [10:24] dr4g: * * * * * /command (from what i just googled for crontab every minuet) [10:24] its not enabled [10:24] Dr_Willis, yes thats what i've thought. [10:24] thanks [10:24] Dr_Willis, I'm looking here for ubuntu related info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto#Using%20Cron [10:25] kandjar, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI [10:25] dr4g: i just looked/cut/pasted from -> http://www.google.com/search?q=crontab+every+minute [10:26] Younder: i dont think that will help [10:26] it seems not to be updated for Ubuntu 9.10 [10:26] 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] 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] Dr_Willis: it seems not to be updated for Ubuntu 9.10 [10:26] kandjar, It might, it might not, try [10:26] dr4g: Ive no idea on that - I havent messed with cron in ages [10:26] So should i just do... * * * * * /command/here/ 2>&1 > mycron_file_output [10:26] fm: i would not be suprised at that. I got my BT headset on the charger. [10:27] Is that right ? [10:27] dr4g: with cron you proberly want touse fullpaths to everything including the file redirection [10:27] ActionParsnip1: i get two lines, one per devices: [10:27] product: R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] [10:27] product: 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller [10:27] [10:27] Dr_Willis, sure no probs i'm just wondering on syntax [10:27] to forward STDERR to STDOUT and then output to file. [10:27] kandjar: then one will be the hdmi on your ati thing, the other is your sound card [10:28] :) === teabag is now known as darksector [10:28] ActionParsnip1: that i figured [10:28] 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] kandjar, that is not exactly integrated intel is it.. [10:28] kandjar: websearch for the non-ati line, see what you find. You could also search the bug reports to see whats shaking [10:28] it's not the problem of choosing the right one. [10:28] dr4g, you could just make a bash script that does all of the particulars and have cron execute that [10:29] sky1 well this is a simple command [10:29] 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] "svn up /home/dr4g/site/" [10:29] I hope sound is the #1 priority for 10.04 ... [10:29] Dr_Willis: Are you able to conect you BT heaset in Karmic? [10:29] kandjar: or you may find suggestions in ubuntuforums with solutions [10:29] we want sound . we want sound . we want sound . anyone with me? [10:29] kandjar: or any other website ever [10:30] kandjar, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1255723.html [10:30] 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] skyl: on my 4 ubuntu box's - ive had no sound issues. ( not got bluetooth headphones working yet) :) [10:31] is Ext4 just as supported as Ext3? [10:31] fm: you may need touse the pulse tools to select the proper audio out sink pavucontrol and pavumeger [10:31] Dr_Willis, grab some exotic hardware and crash your system! [10:31] skyl: yes [10:32] 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 [10:33] 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] 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] sadly, i m seriously thinking about going back to wincrap and deal with the other issue i have with them... :( [10:33] biophysics, well, speed, [10:33] Dr_Willis, see the ubuntu crontab file, where does it live ? :) [10:33] biophysics, but you will be using about 30% more memory too, [10:34] dr4g: in /etc/ i imagine. try 'locate crontab' [10:34] 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] biophysics, so you proably wat a 2 Gb machine [10:34] unless you're doing some serious biophysics calculations or something, 32-bit probably more bang for the hassle [10:34] Look at this Dr_Willis http://pastebin.com/m4582e976 [10:34] Dr_Willis: I use pavucontrol but there is no BT headset seleccion possible! it is not in the list [10:34] 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] 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 [10:35] sadly - creative has fallen down from their past audio excellence.. :( [10:35] ActionParsnip1, so what's the most linux friendly mid-grade audio interface ~$300-$800? anyone? [10:35] dr4g: yes. so? :) [10:35] hello all [10:36] !cron [10:36] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [10:36] That's the page im on! :) [10:36] !hcl | skyl [10:36] skyl: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:36] new ubuntu will have .Net tue to f-spot on the install CD ? === jozo_ is now known as CruX [10:36] jozo_: rephrase that perhaps? [10:36] well gimp will be removed from the install CD iso image right ? [10:37] 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] and will me replaced with f-spot [10:37] CruX: from what i hear - yes gimp will be not included in the default install. [10:37] CruX: not sure what image tools will be included.. its still 6 Mo away [10:37] jozo_: ubuntu has mono, a retarded brother of .NET [10:37] ;) [10:37] Younder: i know i hate all .net and java apps === matthew is now known as Guest73681 [10:38] dr4g: by default commands get ran as root.. unless you are using theusers crontab i belive. when in doubt - use FULL paths [10:38] Dr_Willis: I tried sudo cat /proc/asound/cards and only listed " 0 [ICH6 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH6 Intel ICH6 with ALC250 at irq 17" [10:38] Dr_Willis, i just did ? [10:39] dr4g: ive not messed with cron in 3+ years. when in doubt start small with a simile command that runs every min, then work up [10:39] Dr_Willis: I just guess BT Headset is not recognized [10:39] Dr_Willis, alright thanks [10:40] so anyone got a midi interface they are happy with? [10:41] Hi, I got some problems with mysql, I thought I set a password while install, but I cannot login to mysql. The error message is "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhostä (using password: YES) [10:41] ? [10:41] fm: you did pair the headset with the pc? [10:41] Farssi, root? [10:42] I am trying as "ubuntu root" and "mysql root" [10:42] Farssi, have you tried without a pw? [10:42] Dr_Willis: yes, it is paired [10:42] jep the same error, [10:42] can't be same [10:42] should be (using password: NO) [10:43] jea sure [10:43] fm: im trying to rember how to make my heaset go into pariing mode. :) i have to hold like 2 buttons down for 5 sec..but cant ermber which 2 :) [10:43] skyl: onboard nvidia audio or realtek here, sound cool to me [10:43] sorry the message was with NO [10:43] oh, ok then Farssi [10:43] Dr_Willis: which BT heaset do you have? is it Nokia? [10:43] kekale: I tried to reset the password with help from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html but no difference. [10:44] ActionParsnip1, onboard with midi? [10:44] fm: an OLD motorla HS 820 - its like 5+ yrs old [10:44] skyl: i dont use midi [10:44] skyl: i've use lmms on the nvidia [10:45] *used [10:45] Farssi, did you succeed in every step? [10:45] Dr_Willis: I'm afraid I don't know motorola [10:46] kekale: I think so [10:46] think=believe :) [10:46] hi! [10:46] fm: The company? One of the biggest cellphone/bt/radio makers in the world :) [10:47] my brain is about to melt, idk why i haven't got GUI with on board video card.. please help, thank you :) [10:47] Dr_Willis: Sure! No, I meant the BT headset. I don't know how it work [10:47] How can i realize x-forwarding with a different user?? When i do sudo -u otheruser x-App i got: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. [10:48] fm: well i got the volume controls here moving the BT hdeaset volume in the pavucontrol tool. but no sound out.. yet [10:49] bradpitt: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display [10:49] DaDa|Urka: why not make the initial connection as the other user? [10:49] Dr_Willis: Do you see your BT-Headset in pavucontrol? I only see my internal sound card === john is now known as OldEagle [10:50] hello all [10:50] fm padevchooser shows mybt headset. [10:50] kekale: Sorry, you where right I didn't do it right. [10:50] need urgent help [10:50] Hi all... [10:51] !ask | kilnux [10:51] kilnux: 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. :-) [10:51] well [10:51] ActionParsnip : i'm sorry but i'm now with nvidia card, because i can't even login and there's only cmd line like in terminal. but i can write down step-by-step to fix the problem. [10:51] ActionParsnip1: because iam not the other user (hence i haven't his pw) [10:51] How to connec to #linuxmint...? [10:51] napster: /join #linuxmint [10:51] i got win7 on my new pc but i want to put ubuntu to dual boot onto it but the problem is i only have 32bit 9.04 linux and i want 64bit 9.10 linux [10:52] 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] i only have the disc for a 9/04 32bit [10:52] and i want a 64bit 9.10 so [10:52] kling0n: then download the 64bit ISO [10:52] Dr_Willis: where do you see your BT headset in padevchooser? I don't see it [10:52] can i upgrade onto a 64bit from a 32bit [10:52] does anyone know anything about it, or heard similar problems regarding the latest kernel updates? [10:52] ActionParsnip1, But its not on this server...!!! [10:52] kilnux, no === moomlyn is now known as linimoo [10:52] kilnux: no, you must reinstall [10:52] i want my new pc to use all my 4gb ram and my 512mb [10:53] !mint [10:53] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

It seems tobe seen/connected/ but no sound out. Im not sure it can dothe a2d stuff [10:54] napster: then join the channel, linux mint is not discussed or in any way supported here [10:54] kilnux: sure, you can install the desktop pae kernel and see all the ram [10:54] fm: the Pav volume meter tool dosent even show it gettting sound. [10:54] error 2 grub [10:54] but i want linux to use 4.ghz processor and all of my ram which win 7 is doing atm [10:55] will it do it?!? on a 32bit? [10:55] kilnux: on 32bit and EXACTLY 4 gb of ram . part of it will not be addressable [10:55] Dr_Willis: under manager -> devices -> sinks I only see: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1e.2.analog-stereo [10:55] ActionParsnip1 : i'm sorry but i'm now with nvidia card, because i can't even login and there's only cmd line like in terminal. but i can write down step-by-step to fix the problem. [10:55] Is it dangerous to use jaunty sources for karmic. As "wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists" does not contains karmic. [10:55] 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] fm: i see my BT thjing there. [10:55] DaDa|Urka, try to remove .Xauthority file in the home dir for the user you're doing sudo to [10:55] Anyone else had problems with the latest kernel upgrade? OR is it possible to redo that update in some way? [10:56] (in case it didn't complete correctly) [10:56] bradpitt: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [10:56] actionparsnipl: why cant i find linux CD's in any computer shops?? [10:56] Is it dangerous to use jaunty apt* sources for karmic. As "wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists" does not contains karmic. [10:56] OldEagle, --reinstall switch is useful :) [10:56] kilnux: because they dont want to bother? they woud rather sell you stuff they make a profit on. [10:56] bradpitt: will remove the proprietary driver, if there is no desktop then also remove xserver-xorg-video-nv [10:57] kekale, reinstall what, I do not know which package broke the installation :\ [10:57] you mean the kernel? [10:57] kilnux: to to the local book stores and they are in all sorts of computer magazines. Or often public libraries have them [10:57] ibnulislam: yes dont mix repos/versions [10:57] well it was you who mentioned the kernel, OldEagle [10:57] drellok: there wasn't any [10:57] 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] 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] true, but with the kernel update, came a lot of other updates [10:57] so, I can't know what broke it [10:58] 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] 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] kilnux: whats 'pc world' ? [10:58] PC world a huge computer shop [10:58] have you ever seen the console blinking? [10:58] constantly that is [10:58] kilnux: no need for AV, tell them they know nothing [10:58] kilnux: i wouldent buy any. [10:58] kilnux: i'm UK as well [10:59] 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] I have 1 HD and the install from usb can't seem to get grub on it correctly [10:59] 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] mmm how to get proftpd to enable user login... settings get screwed at every upgrade of ubuntu :D [10:59] actionparsnipl: so i dont need Antivirus on linux OS's [10:59] skyl: did you MD5 test the file you put on the USB stick? [10:59] kilnux: if you want one. theres clamav, and avg has a linux version i recall. [10:59] !av | kilnux [10:59] kilnux: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [11:00] 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] kilnux: but they are designed to scan your windows systems/files for infections - not linux normally [11:00] also the blinking is weird, I cannot even type the exact moment the screen is off [11:00] OldEagle: boot to recovery mode then select root, you can run any commands you like [11:00] ActionParsnip1, no [11:00] netboot [11:00] skyl: don't you think you should have? [11:00] so i cant get windows viruses on a linux? [11:00] drellok: when i do xauth list with the other user it constantly tells me xauth: creating new authority file /home/brixxi/.Xauthority [11:00] or netinstall, whatever ... [11:01] kilnux: no, they are windows viruses, they may infect wine but that no big worry [11:01] i'm trying to find information on the space requirements for bacula [11:01] if i need to keep 7 daily, 4 weekly and 12 monthly backups of a data set [11:01] ActionParsnip1: yes, I was planning on that, but what should I type... I mean this error is obsene [11:01] oh OldEagle didn't realise you were in such a deep mess [11:01] does bacula do diffs, or will i need 7+4+12 * (data set size) ? [11:01] (i've asked in #bacula, no response.) [11:01] skyl: did you check using MD5 all the files you could so you know they are good [11:01] OldEagle, you cannot see the prompt to enter grub menu even? [11:01] ActionParsnip1, well, this is about the 10th time I've done it ... so ... can I not get 1/10 [11:01] grubs works ok [11:01] grub* [11:01] OldEagle: uninstall the video driver you installed [11:02] well I didn't... autoupdate may have [11:02] on like 8 meg download for the net install [11:02] skyl: you could download an infinite number of images and never get a good image [11:02] if i insall linux on my new pc would i lose my windows 7? ( i only have 1 harddrive) [11:02] ActionParsnip1, that is certainly how it seems [11:02] 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] some cds I burned checked out [11:03] the install is putting grub on the usb drive it seems [11:03] kilnux: no, but you need some free space... perhaps do disk defragmentation first :D [11:03] kilnux: Depends on how you install it. Ubuntu can automatically make space for itself without destryoing Windows. [11:03] Ok let my divert the question. Is there a way to complete remove the latest kernel? [11:03] ok [11:03] I mean, the old kernel that update left on my grub menu works ok [11:03] and the CDs fail at lik 60+% [11:03] skyl: can boot to live CD and install grub from there [11:04] OldEagle, yes. apt-get remove it. [11:04] snd [11:04] ops [11:04] will this cause the update manager to reinstall it? (I wanna give it another try) === daedaluz_ is now known as daedaluz [11:05] That I don't know, I would have to guess and I don't want to. :) [11:05] alright... thank you very much guys [11:05] skyl: could try some bootoptions [11:06] liveCD on usb .. that's one of the permutations I haven't tried ... [11:06] I'm going to bet .. it checksums .. tries to install and stops at 70% [11:06] i mounted an ntfs partition as "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/folder" [11:06] skyl: good way to test the next release in alpha without modifying the internal drive ;) [11:06] i can create folders inside [11:06] but i can't download nothinf from firefox [11:07] i must set some type of write access? [11:07] 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 [11:08] be back in an hour with either a "woot!" or a "someone shoot me" [11:08] krabador: for ntfs you MUST mount with the proper options for users to have write access [11:09] krabador: is this a external or internal ntfs filesystem? [11:09] Is there a way to automaticly generate ".asoundrc"? [11:10] Dr_Willis, is internal [11:10] krabador: can you give the output of: ls -la ~/.mozilla [11:10] Dr_Willis, of internal drive [11:10] 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 [11:11] handjob: i don't have that file, if you rename the current one is one generated [11:11] krabador: use http://pastebin.com [11:11] krabador: example entry in /etc/fstab for my ntfs drive -> [11:11] UUID=6A62B9CC1192CB2D /media/Vista ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 [11:11] hi [11:11] ActionParsnip1, http://pastebin.com/m4d887361 [11:12] Dr_Willis, krabador: I suggest fmask=0111,dmask=0 instead of umask. [11:12] 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] krabador: do you log in as root or a proper user like you are supposed to [11:12] most tutorials don't cut it [11:12] ActionParsnip1, I am not sure am i following - I have to rename what? I also don't have this file. [11:12] yucih uhi [11:12] handjob: isee, usually the .xxx files are generated as needed [11:12] grawity: I think thats what the ntfs-config tool defaulted to. or the installer. I normally set the ntfs mount points at install :) [11:13] ActionParsnip1, i run firefox as user and root too, for trying to write inside [11:13] krabador: ok do NOT run firefox as root, its hugely unsecure [11:13] Hmm... [11:13] :) [11:14] ActionParsnip1, I need it, the default system does not but i guess it won't take my will in considereation. [11:14] handjob: apparently its not needed: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/.asoundrc [11:15] need help on ubuntu 9.10 [11:15] can any body help me [11:15] krabador: ok do NOT run firefox as root, its hugely unsecure [11:15] comp2: state the actual problem to the channel [11:15] !ask | comp2 [11:15] 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] ActionParsnip1, Aperenty I need it to do "some stuff". So i guess You don't knew the way to generate it? [11:15] After upgrade to the latest kernel my automounting of USB partitions is busted, any other people encounter this (or fix it)? [11:16] 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] i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy [11:16] ActionParsnip1, i close it immediatly look it don't works [11:17] krabador: try this: cd ~; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./.mozilla [11:17] handjob: if you websearch around you may find example files, its not someting I've ever used [11:17] ActionParsnip1, Ok. Bye. [11:18] krabador: run it as your user which will set the ownership to your user, you should then be ok [11:18] ActionParsnip1, the ~ folder must be the mount point' [11:18] i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy [11:18] ? [11:18] krabador: no, ~ == /home/$USER == $HOME [11:19] i am unable to remove previous conversations in empathy [11:28] will i be able to remove previous conversations in pidgin [11:28] 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] hi, does anyone know how to mount again a USB drive after unmounting once? [11:29] just remove and reconnect [11:29] There we go. [11:29] ishan: sudo mount -a;sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [11:29] ishan: should do it [11:30] I mean without removing?

[11:40] 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] comp2: ive used the program for all of 5+ min now.

[11:52] siqueira: can you expand please [11:52] Has anyone managed to get an esata using port multipliers working? [11:52] I mean I'd like to have a chart or at least saved data every 5-10 minutes [11:52] alkamid: top [11:52] I've been trying to make either of mine work for ages, googling, trying different settings... blarg [11:52] no luck [11:53] found a few people with similar issues, but no solutions [11:53] alkamid: you can tell top to only display that one process if you wish [11:53] shanigans: not used eSATA. I use firewire instead :D [11:53] yeah, I have used firewire and usb in the past [11:54] but i've outgrown all the internal sata ports / space inside my (full tower) case etc [11:54] pci-X sata card :) [11:54] 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] 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] shanigans: cool [11:55] 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] JoBe: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf is the work group the same? [11:56] JoBe: is the ubuntu hostname pingable from the other systems? Is the IP pingable? [11:56] JoBe: if you run: sudo smbtree on the ubuntu system, does it list the shares you defined? [11:56] the ubuntu is pingable.. [11:56] any ideas where else might be a good place to go to get help with port multipliers? [11:57] JoBe: and the smbtree? [11:57] ActionParsnip1, thanks! [11:58] actionparsnip1: Working... the workgroup is the same ... [11:58] smbtree and findsmb are often 2 overlooked commands for samba exploration :) [11:59] JoBe: ok, is the client system linux or windows? [12:00] Dr_willis: i rock at samba some :) [12:00] 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] 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] JoBe: thats normal, it lists the shares on the local system [12:01] Dr_willis: aye, its weird [12:01] 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] JoBe: ok so if you head to the windows system, click start -> run and type [12:02] JoBe: \\servername\sharename [12:02] 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] hi , i will when insert cd on cd drive no mount , who can help me ? [12:03] 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] ActionParsnip1: her pc name is 'pinky' its a pink netbook === FyreFoX_ is now known as FyreFoX [12:03] 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 [12:04] enter my ubuntu so pages of google someone know what can be? [12:04] forfunzinho: that made no sense what so ever.. rephrase the question. [12:05] on a clean install of 9.10 64bit, if I install flashplugin-nonfree will that be a 64bit flash or 32bit? === sale_ is now known as sale [12:05] FyreFoX: i belive it will be 32bit flash - since 64bit is still in testing. [12:05] ok [12:06] FyreFoX: 32bit flash works here for me, there are people trying out 64bit flash in some cases. [12:06] 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? [12:07] 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] JoBe: does the share show up? [12:07] can I get a qt build of firefox for ubuntu ? [12:07] actionparsnip1: Nope, not even when i tried the up number [12:07] Dr_Willis: Hrm, I see. Theres a number of guides around with recent posts of ppl doing the '64bit' plugin on karmic, I have a 64bit box at work and I 'thought' it was 64bit ... I guess not [12:07] something ready to install from some repository [12:07] loading forever* [12:07] JoBe: Can do it my way if you like? [12:08] xD [12:08] Is Ubuntu x64 without pain? [12:08] actionparsnip1: sure, as long as sharing works, I'm going to use that computer as a "server".. so servering is the most important thing :) [12:08] JoBe: i can give you my smb.conf it defines a single share as well as shared CDROM drive [12:09] JoBe: http://pastebin.com/f12da5574 [12:09] Hey all. Have any of you ever install glassfish on ubuntu 9.10? [12:09] actionparsnip1: sure, but should my computer show it's name in the network anyway?? - i mean i shared files with the samba and shared a catalouge with the system function.. [12:09] JoBe: copy the bottom 8 lines to your smb.conf file, you can then run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER set the password the same as your logon password [12:10] JoBe: not sure, this is the only way I know [12:10] actionparsnip1: I'll try [12:10] JoBe: you can then restart samba with: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [12:11] actionparsnip1: you mean the "download" section in the config file? [12:11] removing HDs after setting grub will cause unexpected behavior? esp if those HD are lower number, eg rm hd1 and hd2 becomes hd1 and grub is messed up? [12:11] Всем добрый вечер [12:11] JoBe: yes, thats the share name, the rest is easy to translate, you'll need to change user names etc [12:12] !ru | LieT [12:12] LieT: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [12:12] actionparsnip1: it can't be something that in the smb.conf it says "windows internet name servers support section : NO ? [12:12] JoBe: do you have a WINS server? [12:12] actionparsnip1: he, don't even know whats that is :) .. [12:12] if you don't know, you dont have one === someone is now known as Guest73440 [12:13] actionparsnip1: is there anyway to "reset" the settings with the network and sharing stuff, sp i can start from the beginning. at first it worked, but it has stopped when i have installed softwares... i think. [12:14] JoBe: sudo apt-get --purge remove samba; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [12:14] actionparsnip1: does that clear everything? [12:14] JoBe: i keep my smb.conf in backup, new installs get sambe installed, copy te file in, set the password and restart the service. simple [12:14] JoBe: --purge clears all config files out too [12:14] actionparsnip1: Trying.. [12:15] hi there [12:15] anyone know much about router firmware? does router firmware update automatically? is there security risks to not updating router firmware? [12:15] JoBe: also if you manage it with smb.conf you can add shares remotely using ssh, add a new share to the file, restart the service and BAM, another share [12:16] i just recently thought about this idea ... and tried to google it but couldn't find any information either way [12:16] i dont use ubuntu myself, but at school we need to install ubuntu and i have a problem with it (thats why i dont use ubuntu) [12:16] maybe someone knows anything about it [12:16] other than, yes ... firmware can be updated ... but is there a security reason if you dont update? [12:16] when i install, everyting works, but when i reboot the system.. i only see "GRUB" and not the boot loader itself [12:17] Somebody please help me set up a samba server please? [12:17] actionparsnip1: Hey, I'm a professional on computers... But i never has been used ubuntu before :)... so i'm not understanding anything you are saying. ( almost) .. i'm used to dos and stuff :) .. well, it's working wuth the purge now, so I'll se what'äs happening ... :).

[12:18] JoBe: you can use ssh to connect at command line and edit the smb.conf file, when you restart the service it rereads the file, if you add a valid share to the text file it will popup [12:18] i want to start linux installed in USB drive i am at grub> prompt how do i find out which is my root=/dev/sdX? [12:18] JoBe: saves you having to walk over to the PC to use nautilus' slow interface to add a share [12:19] joerack: Can you see your server in the network listing? [12:19] actionparsnip1: yeah.... okey, now it's been cleaned ... [12:19] from seven? yes [12:20] joerack: But you can't login?

Ive heard people having issues with win7 and samba [12:23] actionparsnip1: Yes, windows 7 don't want to connect to samba unless it has the newest seciruty protocol... i thought this was possible to edit in the same on ubuntu.. [12:24] hello [12:24] can someone help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1339087 ? [12:25] ouch [12:25] actionparsnip1: reinstall samba?, should the ubuntu machine be visible on the network before I install the samba? [12:25] now I can't even ping my ubuntu pc [12:25] JoBe: no idea man, i use pure linux with 1 XP and all works, I'm avoiding win vista and 7 [12:26] actionparsnip1: I would also avoid win7, but since i do use some software in win7 that i need for work, I got no choise... (that's why i'm trying to install ubuntu on my lap) ... [12:26] windows 7 is terrible with network [12:26] word [12:26] Joerack: Windows 7 really sucks on that part.. really bad...

[12:53] So Dr_willis. the old way like "deb url distro-name repo-type" will be unsupported after some time. As I know it is working in Karmic. [12:54] ibnulislam: i doubt it the old way will vanish [12:54] ibnulislam: i doubt if the old way will vanish [12:55] ibnulislam: many of the tools now can use that ppa: way and add the proper keys and stuff. makes things a lot easier [12:55] mgv1; edit > preference > main > when firefox start === make that you want.

Net Book Remix or Desktop edition? It has a 10.5 inch screen. [13:03] What's the resolution, JonathanEllis?

I am just trying to open up the graphics settings [13:06] JonathanEllis - if vaio have any driver issue with ubuntu then Xp is batter choice [13:07] help needed... what should I do, when [sudo rmdir directoryname", results in "rmdir: failed to remove 'directoryname': Directory not empty] [13:07] can someone tell why vpdau and smplayer are removed after a upgrade? [13:07] VampX: bash/command line basics.. use the -r or -R (i forget) option to rm [13:07] VampX: r = recursive [13:07] SeekerNL: surelly they are old packets what are not necesary or are not supported in 9.10 [13:08] Out of curiosity, why does flash not work on ubuntu 64, given that it works on gentoo 64? Is this an issue of different firefox versions? [13:08] VampX, most probably there are files or directories whose names start with . in the directory you're trying to remove [13:08] Whats up evey1 [13:08] kekale: It claims to have a resolution of 1024x768 [13:08] Dr_Willis: so, I should type [ sudo rmdir - r directoryname ] ???

(First timer, Medium Computer knowledge - Zero Linux Knowledge. ) Please?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:11] Hi all [13:11] So how can I block the packages from supported repo and install the one from the ppa? [13:11] kekale: Yeah it looks like 1024x768 to me. So I guess Desktop edition is probably better [13:12] my mic is working with lot of noice in ubuntu, how could i fix it [13:12] !/msg ubottu repos [13:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:12] Hi all [13:12] umh, sorry, I didn't remove "!"

[13:13] BlouBlou lol i just helped u out! [13:14] smplayer is in deed good but even worse UI for gnome than vlc (i'm a sucker for aesthetics) [13:14] thats why I use kde [13:14] ;) [13:14] the qt4 interface is really good [13:14] SeekerNL: I use it too [13:14] How can i install ATI Radeon x1600 Drivers for Ubuntu 9.10? [13:15] yeah it supports vdpau so its great to play my full hd movies with [13:15] qt can use gtk to draw widgets so that's not really an issue, it has ugly icons and a bloated interface [13:15] Isn't restricted drivers a piece of cake nowadays though? [13:15] problem only when i record sound, no problem with speakers, i'll try with alsa [13:15] First time you boot into Ubuntu it will ask if you want to use restricted drivers, you say yes please, off you go. [13:15] to bad most people will not know how to get a smplayer with vdpau enabled, but I do know :) [13:15] hi someone can help me? i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on an acer travelmate 5520G but wifi is not working :( im a begginer ... [13:15] In konversation on ubuntu 9.10 I have no window decorations, I've tried styling them with emerald and kde4-window-decorator to no avail [13:16] !emerlan | detrate [13:16] !emerald | detrate [13:16] detrate: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [13:16] emerald is great :) [13:17] whatever [13:17] ooh, i can fix the gnome-mplayer bug by disabling controls [13:17] okay, well I was just using it to see if I could get window decorations [13:17] but kwin is so much better [13:17] I have a fullscreen konversation window without minimize, maximize and restore buttons [13:17] Dr_willis: This Vaio has a Pentium M processor running at 1100MHz with 508MB of RAM. Sounds like desktop edition is a better bet? [13:17] I just want window decorations [13:17] hi someone can help me? i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on an acer travelmate 5520G but wifi is not working :( im a begginer ... [13:17] So Any ideas yet on How to install ATI Radeon x1600 Drivers? [13:17] Hello. I'm thinking to setup openSSH on my regular desktop. So I can sync my laptop with it. My question is, how much does openSSH open up my computer for security exploits? [13:18] !wifi | esmirlin [13:18] esmirlin: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:18] JonathanEllis: yes [13:18] does someone have a idea why every dvd I try to burn with k3b fails ? [13:19] Does ANYONE here have any idea of how to install ATI Radeon x1600 Drivers for Ubuntu 9.10? [13:21] How stable is Karmic now? I had huge problems installing it on my rather old computer some months ago. Now I am installing Ubuntu on a friends very old Sony Vaio with a Pentium M processor running at 1100MHz and only 508MB of RAM. Would I be better installing Jaunty or Hardy rather than Karmic? [13:21] How would I start UNR in single user mode? [13:21] I think Karmic is better then Jaunty [13:22] JonathanEllis, I think it is quite stable considering I've been using it for a week now, don't have a problem with it and pulse works out of the box [13:22] Pirate_Hunter__: Are you using up to date hardware though. This is a really old laptop with a slow processor and not much memory [13:23] JonathanEllis, I'm running Karmic on a PIII 866 MHz with 512M of RAM - all swell [13:23] I on Atom330 with a Nvidia Ion [13:23] I had 256M of RAM up until now - that was not too hot. [13:24] 4 gb memory strange enough only 3 shows up [13:24] JonathanEllis, I wish it was up to date hardware I just cant use compiz but thats nothing new to me [13:24] kekale: Blimey! My P4 at 2400MHz with 1GB or Ram cant handle it. The graphics are totally borked. === Tommi is now known as Tommi|off [13:25] I still thing it strange that my 4 gb wont get dected by either windows 7 and Linux, but in bios it shows\ [13:25] JonathanEllis, it's all about components I guess. The Karmic did a good job of not enabling any graphical gimmicks so it's working ok on this ages-old box. [13:25] JonathanEllis, about the special effects give up on that stick to metacity or just forget it [13:26] without special effect kde4 looks ygly [13:26] ubottu: thank you...!!! after installing alsa, my mic is now working well without noice... thanks a lot... [13:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:27] kekale & Pirate_Hunter__: I uninstalled Compiz altogether but no dice. My onboard graphics adapter couldnt display the screen properly - it was all torn. Then I found out that other graphics card driver doesnt work beyond Hardy so I just went back to Hardy. And thats where this machine will stay! [13:27] JonathanEllis, that's always a bugger - finding out that support has been dropped. [13:27] hi guys [13:27] is there small svg plugins 4 gimp [13:28] hello folks how i can enable desktop cube in compiz, i enabled it from compizconfig but how to launch cube [13:28] uffo [13:28] ? [13:28] what is the release schedule of gimp 2.8 [13:28] there`s a wiki page about the compiz functions [13:28] take a look at it [13:29] guys i am trying to compile mysql in ubuntu 9.10 64 bits but how can i check for package dependencies? [13:29] there u`ll find all the keyboard shortcuts for the effects [13:29] build-dep [13:29] sudo apt-get build-dep [13:29] JonathanEllis, weird there probaly is a fix for that like my toshiba trident wont display the screen without a certain option in Xorg, hmmm, that reminds me need to backup my xorg(s), you might want to look into that in the forums if you ever decide to give it another go at it [13:29] hey guys [13:30] sudo apt-get build-dep mysql [13:30] diogo_79, why compile, why not use the one in the repo...? [13:30] does any1 here knows why my wifi card (B43) cant get to channel 12, 13, 14 and so on? [13:30] i like to learn how the stuff works :) [13:30] anyone know much about router firmware security? do routers automatically update their firmare? [13:30] Matrizero: but compiz is ok but cannot get working cube, compizconfig disablkes conflicting plugins too but afer enabling cube i even cannot switch desktop from taskbar [13:30] Matrizero you look on box:P was there on for Windows :P [13:31] Hello. I'm thinking to setup openSSH on my regular desktop. So I can sync my laptop with it. My question is, how much does openSSH open up my computer for security exploits? [13:31] mikeyfbi: usually you have to manually update routers firmware [13:31] Seeker [13:31] Pirate_Hunter__: I spent about 40 hours trying to get it working. The answer that the Matrox drivers dont work beyond Hardy came from a forum http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=748&sid=00218614ecedfc208b289ceedc8e8184 [13:31] i don`t use windows except for games [13:31] detrate, that's what i've seen, but i consider myself fairly computer litterate and have never heard of that before this day [13:31] u know the answer 4 my question? [13:31] Adam75, your port 22 will be open by default. That's configurable though. [13:31] #nicksetup [13:32] detrate, is there possible security risks to not updating the router firmare? google results for "router firmware security" and "router firmware auto update" are scarse for results [13:33] JonathanEllis, oh sorry didn't realise well at least you get longer support, I use hardy as well it is good and stable so I don't see nothing wrong with it [13:33] I would hate it if my router decided to upgrade its own firmware without asking me - and failed :) [13:33] does any1 here knows why my wifi card (B43) cant get to channel 12, 13, 14 and so on? [13:33] any1 here with the same problem? [13:34] mikeyfbi: the biggest risk I'd assume is a failed upgrade [13:34] kekale, lol that is not something to laugh about unless you got spare ones or are prepared to lose all your settings :'s [13:34] bezimena [13:34] which is possible if you unplug the router during the upgrade for example [13:34] then you can brick it [13:35] detrate, i saw one link online of a security risk to one certain type of router and firmare, but couldn't exactly understand 100% what the risk was [13:35] detrate, seems maybe hackers have just not yet targeted the router firmware LOL [13:35] does any1 here knows why my wifi card (B43) cant get to channel 12, 13, 14 and so on? [13:36] detrate, unless i just do not understand the router firmware ... must be much harder to break than say ... an OS [13:36] it's pretty simple to do a factory distributed upgrade [13:36] backup where it lets you [13:36] Adam75: depends on how you configure it [13:37] config / current firmware whatever you can [13:37] bbiab [13:37] MasterOfDisaster; Ofcourse.. [13:37] hi all [13:37] Matrizero, I have no answer for you but do explain in more details what you mean [13:37] * acovrig is back (gone 08:08:58) [13:38] Adam75: using public key authentication and disabling password authentication you should be fine. You might want to filter incoming packets to match local ip addresses only. [13:38] Ubuntu 9.10 USB will not Auto Detect [13:38] i have a question !~! [13:38] well [13:38] i'm from brazil [13:38] i from china [13:39] and i was told that here, the wireless cards don`t support those frequencies [13:39] poor you guys [13:39] therekku, please dont pm ask here first I didn't even see your question, I'll answer it if I know [13:39] nice to meet you Matrizero .. [13:39] nice to meet u too NOva [13:40] Matrizero, if you're from brazil wouldnt it be easier to speak in your native tongue in #ubuntu-br (I think that is what it is called) [13:40] i don`t see a problem in speaking ur language dude [13:40] =) [13:40] USB will connect only during boot [13:40] oh ok [13:41] i just told ya my card doesn't support the channel 13 [13:41] it returns an error saying the frequency is not supported [13:42] but i was also told that, there's some kind of patch that does the work... [13:42] but i'm kinda nu to backtrack and linux world [13:42] so i'm learning yet [13:42] how to uninstall proposed and back-ported packages? [13:43] good! [13:43] heard about it! [13:43] how'd it be? [13:44] Matrizero, ok saying doesn't support the channel 13 doesn't help, what is the router/modem, what you trying to do or hope to achieve and I think you may need a new firmware not sure however if you provide mroe information people would be more than happy to help you [13:45] dude, ckeck it out: [13:45] root@bt:~# iwconfig wlan0 channel 13 [13:45] Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : [13:45] SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

[14:03] Matrizero: if it should be usable, you might be using an incorrect firmware/misconfigured your card/etc. [14:03] therekku, no dude, there's some sort of option there that is like: "Fix broken packages" [14:03] thereku have u solved ur audio problem? [14:04] No i havent Gebrax.. [14:04] MasterOfDisaster, but it has nothing to do with laws and permissions and stuff..

[14:05] deadant2 right click the file -> properties -> go to open with tab -> select the application you want to use [14:06] ups, seems to have cut off some text there [14:06] OerHeks, will that change the default? [14:06] yes deadant2 [14:06] Materizero: After Attempting to Fix / Update Wine 1.2 from Synaptics, i get this error Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [14:06] I removed maximus to prevent it keeps the windows maximized, but it removed the ubuntu-netbook-remix package too. Now I'm trying to install desktop-switcher, but it can't find the package [14:07] guys, i am trying to mount an usbkey using "mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbkey/" and i got an error message saying that only root is able to do it. How can i give permissions for the user to mount anything? [14:07] Afternoon [14:07] Gah! I downloaded Spotify Installer.exe.. It doesnt give me any installation prompt. Just opens spotify directly. And It's buggy as hell [14:07] cantoma, you can use sudo to acquire root privileges [14:07] canthus13, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbkey [14:07] hm, * cantoma instead of canthus13 :) [14:08] cantoma, u need to sudo that command 1st [14:08] OerHeks, Its still auto going to transmission [14:08] Snicksie,kekale, i removed sudo [14:08] hi [14:08] Adam75, you're on a linux channel. Why do you use .exe binaries to run programs? [14:08] Matrizero did you get my message? ( or could i PM You? ) [14:08] for security reasons [14:09] When I open a second firefox window, it draws all messed up, it will open the first instance just fine but any one after, it's totally messed up [14:09] anyone heard of this error? [14:09] Snicksie: My keys work just fine. [14:09] cantoma, there's a root sudo in the options. or try 'gksudo terminal' gives a root terminal too i suppose :) [14:09] therekku, no i didnt, sorry, but yes, u can pm me :) [14:09] :) [14:09] hello [14:09] Snicksie, i don't want to go to root everytime [14:09] I've recently upgraded from kernel 2.6.31-14 to 2.6.31-15. Where *15 doesn't seem to load my LVM partitions along with it's initramfs. How do i fix this? [14:09] hi people [14:09] canthus13, was a fauld, already said that ;) wrong highlight [14:09] cantoma, try sh then [14:09] cantoma, fuse MIGHT be the answer but this is just a guess. What's more, Ubuntu should recognise the usb drives automatically without the need for a separate mount [14:09] are there any people there can help me [14:09] kernel 2.6.31-14 has been deleted aswell, the only thing i still have is 2.6.31-11 which hangs. [14:10] kekale, i didn't install any GUI [14:10] can you help me [14:10] kekale, its command line only [14:10] When i start up in 2.6.31-15 i get an alert /dev/mapper/Mediacenter-root does not exist, dropping to a shell.

[14:11] kekale, here is my fstab i have this -> /dev/usbkey /media/usbkey auto user,defaults 0 0 [14:11] cantoma, I'm sorry, I don't know anything more about fuse. It's just that I heard about it when I was playing around with ntfs-3g which has now replaced the old ntfs. :) [14:11] i installed xubuntu-desktop and i lost my ubuntu login screen how i can repair it? [14:11] kekale, i am speaking about letting an user to mount anything [14:11] P67, post it in a pastebin :) [14:12] cantoma, I don't believe fstab is the way to go then. [14:12] deadant2 i did it too, but torrent opens now in Bittornado .. [14:12] kekale, on the machine that i have the problem there is no ntfs partitions [14:12] ubuntu: you wanna go back to ubuntu or stay with xfce? [14:12] But I'm going to bail out of this discussion cantoma since I know nothing further about fuse. :) [14:12] *go back to gnome [14:12] well rather hard to do, pasting it in a pastebin since it's rather impossible to boot. let alone cp it to a remote host [14:13] kekale, is there anything else rather than fuse? [14:13] cantoma, don't know [14:13] did someone compile thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Ubuntu Karmic ? I have some graphics issues... [14:13] How do i recompile a suitable kernel installed by the alternate install-cd in a busybox, as i can't boot anymore due to /dev/mapper/mediacenter-root not being found [14:14] guys, how can i give permissions to a normal user to mount anything .. like a usbkey or external harddrive without having to get root privileges? [14:14] cantoma -> using fuse [14:14] n8tuser, how does it work? [14:15] n8tuser, should i change anything in my fstab? [14:15] cantoma -> i dont know the intimate details, i have to google for it [14:15] is ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso a liveCD? [14:15] cantoma -> make sure the fuse module is loaded [14:15] trustedbird I mean, on Ubuntu karmic 64 bits [14:15] Diz_child. no it's not. it's a text-based installer [14:15] n8tuser, the users are members of the fuse group [14:15] !alternate | diz_Child The alternate cd isn't a live cd [14:16] diz_Child The alternate cd isn't a live cd: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [14:16] cantoma -> make sure it is loaded, see /etc/modules [14:16] !netsplit [14:16] 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.

[14:19] i got mplayer and vlc installed without any use [14:20] Am i just formulating my questions in a bad way, or doesn't anyone know? [14:20] n8tuser, i am looking in their page http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ but they just give strange examples. I don't see how can i use it to mount usbkeys [14:21] wow [14:21] P67, try dpkg --reconfigure -a and then reboot and update [14:21] hi,i was wondering if someone knew how to downgrade packages? [14:21] dpkg can't seem to be used in a busybox terminal [14:21] P67: Its probably more that the people able to help aren't around at the minute and may be better waiting 30 minutes or so to see if somebody who can help comes on line [14:21] !downgrade | shadeslayer [14:21] shadeslayer: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [14:22] P67, use grub to get in the recovery mode [14:22] DJones: no,just specific packages [14:22] shadeslayer: Sorry, I thought that referred to downgrading packages as well [14:22] recovery mode appears to drop me just as hard into a busybox [14:23] P67, can u use apt0get in busy box [14:23] P67: why not install a stock kernel by chrooting via a livecd? [14:24] noren: apt-get can't be used in a busybox terminal either. MasterOfDisaster: that's an option, though that might not take away my /dev/mapper/mediacenter-root error away [14:26] I'll go try the chroot MasterOfDisaster, thanks in advance [14:26] P67: what are you trying? [14:26] P67: might work if you just screwed up your config and it has worked before with a stock ubuntu kernel. [14:27] P67: If you messed with the physical device somehow, it won't matter what you do. [14:27] what channel am I on? [14:27] acovrig: #ubuntu [14:27] I'm trying to get my system working again as i've upgraded from 2.6.31-14 to 15. 15 doesn't appear to load my LVM and 14 has got stupidly deleted [14:27] what is the easiest gtkdialogue or quickly [14:28] P67: you should to check if you have all devmapper related packages still installed. [14:29] MasterOfDistaster: 14 did appear to work before, though i was convinced it was still on. Overlooked a remove due to upgrade, rebooted and then got served with a BusyBox [14:29] P67: back up your /etc/lvm, and delete it afterwards, might help.

[15:14] re-open the bug means send the bug to ubuntu website? [15:14] MenZa: jetty issue was unrelated. I get some output at tty8 but no explicit errors. This happened after hibernating so it might be a restoration problem [15:14] Menza, there's also an update which gives me an error when i try to download it. I'll put that error text in a pastebin too [15:15] MenZa, if I ask you this, is because I'm not running ubuntu now...

[18:18] Hetor`: no such directory [18:18] Rhetorical, remove your external hdd, put the windows CD in and do the startup files repair. Then when you want to boot into linux, you should either reinstall GRUB on the external (making sure that it installs to the boot sector of the external (clicking Advanced... lets you do this at install time)). Then set your BIOS to boot Removable Drives first. You cannot add Linux to the Windows boot selector.

[18:52] Mike_lifeguard, you have to use Boot Camp, if you don't want to install a special boot loader [18:53] Rhetorical sudo grub-install [18:53] Mike_lifeguard, chances are you should just use that anyway, it's a lot easier [18:53] lockd: I don't mind using grub2, unless there's some reason not to. [18:53] carpediem: I like it because it fits where it belongs, i.e. in the Appearance app, and safely covers most of the pretty and fancy stuff which users like to enable. CCSM is way more complex, has more confusing choices and foot-shooting options (and no obvious ways to unshoot, unlike SCCSM)) [18:53] greezmunkey, a lot... and it worked out of the box in the first place but then i tried to mount it in different ways and since then its broken... [18:54] rhetorical the grub manual page is here http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall [18:54] Nalleman_, try telnet {ip of winbox} 445, see what happens... [18:54] rhetorical that can explain it faster than I can [18:54] zopiac: to me it looks like there is an error in the sources - so please ask the author [18:54] Help i get this error when i run Synaptic Update Manager "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic --dist-upgrade-mode --non-interactive --hide-main-window -o Synaptic::AskRelated=true as user root.Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." === como is now known as Guest77071 [18:55] Good download manager for ubuntu. Where I can schedule downloads [18:55] guntbert: well the author has put the programme on hiatus and is unavailable. It supposedly works fine, last time he checked it [18:55] geev: don't run it as user root - use sudo [18:55] gunbert is right it is a package issue. random number generators need to be seeded or set an inital value to start with [18:55] greezmunkey, it says "trying xx.xx.xx.xx ....."

[18:57] ok, i just messed up my ubuntu A LOT, i went into recovery mode of Win XP, and did fixboot, and now i can't boot my ubuntu, and the live cd can't see that partition, what can i do ? [18:57] guntbert: am running using update manager not terminal [18:58] dom you are doing it rigth with the live cd there is an easy way to fix it [18:58] hi! [18:58] !grub [18:58] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [18:58] are there opensync 0.39 packages in some ppa? [18:58] ron-l-j, how ? [18:58] hey [18:58] Nalleman_, (oops) I'd have to look that up, it has to do with windows :(, but if that port is not available you won't connect [18:58] !gksudo | geev [18:58] geev: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:06] I was wondering installing KDE apps in a Gnome environment, is that bad? I want to check out Keden Live, but it's a KDE app. [19:06] ron-l-j, i have a very big favour to ask of you, could you help me through PM, cause i really don't want to mess this up ? [19:06] Where can i get ubuntu (all in iso, not seperate workstation and server). [19:06] gOLDfeesh: no problem [19:06] !download | ShaMun [19:06] ShaMun: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [19:06] thank u guntbert [19:07] right so my problem is i setup a dhcp server with range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 initially, later on i changed the range to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.199 but the dhcp server still gives out ips starting 192.168.1.100 [19:07] ShaMun: have fun [19:07] ShaMun: i think that's not available what you want [19:07] ShaMun: The only differences between the types of Ubuntu are the default installed packages, so no matter what you get, you'll be able to customise it to your needs [19:08] dAlfa89_: There are other differences in the -server kernels, but never mind [19:08] when will be available kde 4.3.3 in ubuntu packet's [19:08] !latest | xvine [19:08] xvine: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [19:08] ron-l-j, i'm on step 4 i think, i'm not sure, what to do [19:08] usser_, what are you runnung the dhcp server on, ubuntu? [19:08] genii: There are? o.o [19:09] i updated my kernel and now x11 wont start [19:09] is there a command to rebuild the driver? [19:09] greezmunkey, its a 64 bit karmic server [19:09] zaapiel: which version? and from where. [19:09] usser_, did you restart dhcpd? [19:09] dAlfa89_, om26er: ok. (i just want to play with it this weekend and avoid using Fedora i am tired a bit installing dovecot/smtp tail/ bla bla..., nothing still found organised ) maybe ubuntu. [19:09] official version [19:09] it was just an update in synaptic [19:09] greezmunkey, yep, even restarted the server itself a number of times [19:09] i use the nvidia driver though and it needs to be rebuilt i guess [19:09] dom ok [19:09] not sure how to do so [19:10] im in a command line enviroment now [19:10] !enter | zaapiel [19:10] zaapiel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:10] greezmunkey, see i dont have that many machines to test out what will happen if it runs out of leases from 100-199 range. [19:10] trism: that ppa contains opensync 0.22 packages, thats the current stable version and karmic ships them too. so, no benefit from that ppa :( [19:10] usser_, did you flush your leases, I assume you tested from a pc that already got an address from dhcpd... [19:10] zaapiel: purhe the new kernel [19:10] the live cd will mount your partitions for you you need to use the advanced option in the installer [19:10] zaapiel: purge the new kernel you just install and reboot [19:10] greezmunkey, flush the leases on a client? [19:10] ron-l-j: ok i'm there [19:10] then just select your partitions [19:10] i want the new kernel [19:10] I realize this might not be the right place to ask, but I'll try anyways. I have an Ubuntu 9.10 server with samba, ftp and ssh (among other services) installed. My main personal computer is a laptop running Windows 7. When I'm on my home network, I can map my samba shares to a drive letter in Windows. Is there a known way to do this when I'm not on my LAN? I have the ftp loaded as a "network location" but I can't seem to load it a [19:11] ron-l-j, which one do i select ? [19:11] but do not format them and click finish [19:11] freinhard: sorry, didn't notice the version [19:11] usser_, that lease is MAC based, the MAC is stored, and dhcpd will continue to hand out the same IP unless the lease is gone! [19:11] ron-l-j, just select the one where i have Ubuntu ? [19:11] how many hard drives do you have ? [19:11] two [19:11] yes just the ubuntu partitions [19:11] I just want to rebuild my nvidia driver so it works with the new kernel, how do i do that from a command line? isnt there a way to rebuild all apps that need it after a kernel upgrade? [19:11] //////////// [19:11] ron-l-j: and then click forward ? [19:11] greezmunkey, aah. i see. is it on the client or the server though? [19:11] usser_, no the leases are tracked by dhcpd! [19:12] greezmunkey, is that it /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases? [19:12] yes double checking the little format check boxes are not checked [19:12] usser_, probably [19:12] ron-l-j, it says 'No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu' === lengend|work is now known as lengend [19:12] how do I generate a md5 password? [19:12] greezmunkey, im trying to reinstall ubuntu now... [19:12] greezmunkey, yep i think it is. is it safe to just delete that file? [19:12] :) [19:12] yes you have to mark your first ubuntu partition as / [19:13] ron-l-j, how ?, do i select it and click change ? [19:13] usser_, I wouldn't, man dhcpd to see if there is a command that you can use to flush the leases first. [19:13] ron-l-j, and then ? [19:13] Ubuntu support this? ( This server hardware: HP Proliant ML330 G3 - SCSI/RAID - HP Smart Array controller 652 ) , Today i just not able to Fedora12 ( because Smart array no driver available ). [19:13] yes exactly [19:13] greezmunkey, got it. Thanks a lot! [19:14] Nalleman_, that seems a bit extreme, did you break it? [19:14] then define the partition [19:14] ron-l-j, make it Use as "Ext4 journaling file system", mount point / [19:14] ? [19:14] usser_, np :) [19:14] yes exactly [19:14] :D [19:14] !md5 [19:14] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:14] do not format the partition [19:14] :D [19:14] greezmunkey, i just deleted the file, and put an empty one in its place, worked like a charm. thank you [19:15] greezmunkey, i allmost had a fresh install anyway, i have to copy my backup and then im redy to rock again! [19:15] usser_, while you ar "doinking" around with dhcpd, check into setting reservations, they are a good thing... [19:15] ron-l-j: ok it says some crap about it not being formatted, and that /usr /etc etc.:P will be overwritten [19:15] do i continue ? [19:15] and will it delete my /home ? [19:16] That is what you want continue [19:16] Where can i find which processors/platforms/architectures are suppose to be supported by Ubuntu in detail, before crashing my server. [19:16] Hello ubunti! when I attempt to install ubuntu on my Z400 HP workstation, it starts booting (even displays a very pretty white logo) and then the screen goes black, and never recovers (this is an estimation of ever - I waited well over a minute) ... What should I do? [19:16] ron-l-j:will it delete /home ? [19:17] it will not becase you are not formatting the drive think of it is a gost write [19:17] ron-l-j: ok good [19:17] * dom96 clicks continue then [19:17] you never finish it and just go to install grub' [19:17] suweid: try a usb boot. and also md5 you image [19:17] Hi [19:17] usser_, most of the time you could probably get away with that, but unless you know that a service only write info in one place, I'd be checking the man pages before you "pull the rug out from under" one in the future.

[19:18] (i'll give it what it was anyway, just asking...) [19:18] paperazzami: yeah, it's called amarok ;) [19:18] No, i really want iTunes [19:18] paperazzami: no [19:18] Or maybe another program that has exactly the same functions [19:18] dom96 you get a bunch of errors and you continue till you get to the install menu [19:19] !itunet | paperazzami [19:19] dom then you jump down to the install list to install grub [19:19] My roommates all share music with eachother using iTunes [19:19] !itunes > paperazzami [19:19] paperazzami, please see my private message [19:19] om26er, That sounds like a perfect waste of time. Firstly, I'm installing with WUBI. And lastly, even if there would be a CRC error, by now the kernel has loaded and should be able to handle it with a milder for of retort, than just empty black screen. Maybe it's something to do with my video card, it's an nvidia quadro? [19:19] ron-l-j, it says that it will format swap is that fine ? [19:19] suweid, you on a laptop? [19:20] Can anyone help me? [19:20] Z400 workstation [19:20] as long as you selected swap as swap [19:20] i have installed ubuntu on my home server [19:20] It's not a laptop. [19:20] ron-l-j: well i just left it as it was [19:20] it should be able to share music just like iTunes [19:20] suweid, I don't know what that is :( [19:20] ron-l-j, the only thing i changed was the partition which has ubuntu [19:20] if you made no changes to swap in the partioner you should be fine [19:20] ron-l-j, so do i click install then ? [19:21] suweid, does it have multiple video outputs? [19:21] Is anybody getting random Crashes with 9.10? [19:21] yes [19:21] Yes. and both monitors are attached.

[19:22] yeah general things.. [19:22] Suweid black screen means boot loader not found on disc [19:22] ron-l-j, hmm, i think it's done [19:22] How can I do that, when the system is not even installed? [19:22] paperazzami: Look up "daap" - that's the protocol iTunes uses, and will allow you to both access others' libraries and share your ow [19:22] ron-l-j, it didn't show any errors though [19:22] DOm cool load it up [19:22] okay thanks [19:22] how do I encrypt a password? I'm asked for Admin Password (md5): [19:22] greezmunkey, a fresh install solved it. [19:22] PARAMETER: ADMIN_PASSWORD, but I dont really know, how to generate one..

[19:25] Nalleman_, you installed samba from apt-get, is that right? [19:25] suweid, detach one of the monitors and boot LiveCD. [19:25] strange it should quit in the middle after it boots [19:25] greezmunkey, the last time, yes [19:25] how can i get more workspaces? [19:25] some think is failing [19:25] suweid, if it loads w/ screen, attach second monitor and go into Display properties. [19:25] Nalleman_, Ubuntu can be a server, OR a client, not both! [19:25] i have 2 X 2 workspaces but it doesn't open the bottom two [19:25] does anyone know how to connect from windows to a linux box directly through ethernet cable ? === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [19:26] Nalleman_, samba that is... [19:26] ibuclaw, okay, I will try that. [19:26] fool__: sure, use a crossover cable and set static IPs [19:26] paperazzami, doesn't open? care to elaborate?

[19:26] well [19:26] does that mean that installing samba breaks the connection to my windows disks? [19:26] ActionParsnip: exctaly how should i do that ? [19:26] Is there a way I can get only my drives on left part of my screen? As in I want my drives on the left column on my desktop.

[19:26] I have selected 2 collumns 2 rows in the workspace switcher [19:26] Nalleman_, that explains why you couldn't connect before! [19:27] paperazzami, how did you set that? compiz-manager? [19:27] Dom you are getting a shell [19:27] fool__: negligable [19:27] fine [19:27] :D [19:27] fool__: use network manager to set the IPs [19:27] i need help on getting fglrx working i just dont want to mess anything up i can watch movies and play some games just right but when it comes down to playing nexius it seems the texture is messing up bad its like there are missing pieces is there a fix for this [19:27] ron-l-j, what now :( [19:27] But when pressing ctrl + alt + keydown, nothing happens [19:27] fool__: the router will make the addressing easier [19:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/329632/ This is a part of grub/menu.lst.

[19:27] :/ [19:27] no, just using the shortcut to the workspace switcher on the panel [19:28] ActionParsnip: somehow i thought direct connection would be faster [19:28] hmm [19:28] i have a Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [19:28] and wanting to get fglrx working [19:28] fool__: hardly any at all, the router is a dedicated device and will route it fast. you'll get maybe an extra few kbps every minute [19:28] ok. what i tried to do before was mounting my shared disk in ubuntu and then my plan was to sync with rsync. althoug i did not manage to mount the folders before it broke down [19:28] is this hard to get working like ati [19:28] natrixnatrix89, just a guess ... [19:28] ron-l-j, ? [19:28] natrixnatrix89, run: sudo grub [19:28] Sence you have a /home partition and a cd\ [19:28] hmm, anothe rproblem with banshee: Unable to connecto to music share [19:29] fool__: you'll be transferring at a decent enough speed so its negligable [19:29] anyone know how to get tab-to-complete to work for java -classpath entries?

Now Ubuntu does not detect the headphones. Any idea how I fix it? (Camera is not connected any more) [21:03] bigjocker, OK let me check it out [21:04] craig you in here [21:04] soreau: it says no packages found [21:04] BrodeurPC: Ok, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file [21:04] hello all! - anybody that are familiary with GADMIN-SAMBA?, i can't add users in mine? [21:05] yoshilappi: try Epidermis http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org [21:05] soreau: i really dont want to reformat this computer again, it will be the 6th time in one month [21:05] donovan_: this is craig === lengend is now known as lengend|work|out [21:05] Flimm: well the 9.10 on my7 desktop has this cool spining speck swarm i want on my laptop but the wubi installer didnt do that [21:06] yoshilappi: ah, OK, missed the context.

[21:08] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/329714/ [21:09] 132 [21:10] BrodeurPC: You still have pieces of fglrx installed [21:10] yoshilappi> Ubuntu has its ups and downs just like any other OS. I personally use it for its good qualitys and build from its bad [21:10] denis: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:10] BrodeurPC: Are you sure you did try installing the proprietary driver any other way? [21:10] supergate +1 [21:10] soreau: no that was the first time even messing with it [21:10] anybody that knows how to clear the samba settings? [21:11] should i use samba or nfs for remote access of the desktops files when i am not home? [21:11] samba looks harder to configure properly but nfs looks like it only works for comps on the same network which i wont be [21:11] yoshilappi: sftp :) [21:11] I personally wouldn't use it period, but thats just me [21:11] soreau: 3D and compiz worked great right from the start and didnt even prompt me to add proprietary drivers [21:11] BrodeurPC: Well you need to remove all packages with fglrx in their name and then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri [21:11] llutz: whats that? [21:12] !sftp [21:12] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [21:12] yoshilappi: based on ssh [21:12] yoshilappi: uh, neither really... they're both really intended to be used from within one network [21:12] soreau: how do i remove them [21:12] no i co wy na to? [21:13] if you would like filesharing, I would suggest, using an FTP client, and FTP server. [21:13] llutz: ok so how do i configure this? [21:13] they are easier to configure, and probably the most secure way of going about it [21:13] yoshilappi: read ssh-documentation [21:13] in my personal opinion anyways [21:13] supergate: sftp is actually easier to configure than ftp [21:13] BrodeurPC: Open synaptic and search for fglrx then remove any that are installed with fglrx in the name. After that, make sure to completely reinstall the two packages I mentioned and after that, reboot [21:13] llutz: included documentation is never clear and simple enough for me to figure out how to use something [21:14] supergate: calling ftp "secure" is... strange [21:14] llutz: every time someone says read the man page and i do i wind up more confused and give up [21:14] Hi do i have to config some thing on apache in this file httpd.conf ? [21:14] eh I guess I should have clarified [21:14] yoshilappi: there are millions of howtos/tuts on the net [21:14] ard1an: I think apache in ubuntu uses apache2.conf and other files under /etc/apache2/ [21:14] soreau: sounds good thank you [21:14] big thanks to all the chromium devs, its awesome :D [21:14] ard1an: by default no, you don't [21:15] yoshilappi> have you ever heard of SSL? [21:15] cause in localhost it says "It Works" [21:15] ard1an: apache2 uses configs under /etc/apache/available-sites [21:15] ard1an: then it is working [21:15] or sites-available? [21:15] ard1an: right. Just throw your stuff in /var/www [21:15] aha Thanks [21:15] My USB headphones were working perfectly until I downloaded some pictures from my camera via USB. Now Ubuntu does not detect the headphones. Any idea how I fix it? [21:15] ard1an: you might want to check /var/www [21:15] supergate: no this is actually my first time trying to remote access anything [21:15] yes thanks [21:15] soreau: should i remove everything that has to do with ATI [21:15] supergate: thats ftps, not sftp [21:15] Web servers use SSL alot [21:15] BrodeurPC: No. Only with packages that have fglrx in their package name [21:16] soreau: ok [21:16] I got my robot cum ray! Ready to go today. Robot cum ray. I'm a jawa!

[21:17] supergate: oh cool seems i can do what i need via filezilla maybe. still not what i am looking for really but meh [21:18] supergate: i don't think so. ssh/sftp is easy, mostly installed in networks and secure [21:18] supergate: but it's just my opinion === b0w[out] is now known as b0w [21:19] IdleOne, thanks for your help, reviewing the manpage deeper allowed me to get done what i needed to happen. much appreciated. [21:19] gRaCiOsO: it's somewhere on http://virtualbox.org [21:19] lstarnes, thanks [21:20] llutz> all he would have to do, would be to set up basic preferences and security on the ftp server, which would be quicker, and give him some little experience to go by, no? [21:21] so, I just got a 1TB my book that I am going to hook up to a linux box i've got to use as a file server. any recommendations on what FS i should use? [21:21] supergate: setting up ssh requires no funky FTP configs [21:21] hapt1K: glad I could help [21:21] supergate: I agree with llutz - don't recommend ftp to an unexperienced user [21:22] lstarnes, could i transfer files from ubuntu to windows partition running under virtualbox? [21:22] perhaps xampp = perfect for unexperienced ones [21:22] meh true, but the point is to get him experienced [21:22] supergate: i don't like recommend people getting experience with public servers [21:22] calicojack: i think XFS is good for high volumes of files [21:22] gRaCiOsO: I think so, but you don't need virtualbox if you're just transferring files [21:22] Howdy everybody [21:22] err I can see your point again, with all the exploits and shit available for them [21:22] supergate: imho ssh is the one, they can do less wrong ;) [21:22] michio: thanks, i'll look into that!

[21:34] so, i thought ubuntu and linux are suppoesd to be so much better than windows. all it does it freeze up on me, it's worse than BSoD [21:34] anyone? [21:34] bokchai: details? [21:34] bokchoi, linux is better for most things, except for gaming. [21:34] How can i delete files that are "protected", the system tells me that i'm not the root? [21:35] JoBe -> terminal, sudo -s, rm the file. [21:35] JoBe: sudo? [21:35] !usb [21:35] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:35] How do I kick out (as root) a user who's currently logged on to my system? [21:35] how do you know if the domain has an mx record? [21:36] i typed dig mx domain.com [21:36] and then i saw some info [21:36] ben64_: better as in crashes more? far as i can see the only thing it does better is start up faster. it's the same buggy sh*tty programs that crash all the time and my computer freezes all the time [21:36] i'm not so used with the terminal commands, I haven't been using Ubuntu so long (2 days), is there somewhere to read about the termian commands? [21:36] JoBe [21:36] there is a guide [21:36] google? [21:36] brutus: use ps aux | grep username to find their root shell/ssh and then kill it's pid [21:36] jograd: dig -t mx domeain.some [21:36] every time I put in a blank disk in brasero it shows the available space all wrong [21:37] how would i execute a command after a program is closed in bash? [21:37] bokchoi, Protip: If you want help, ask a question. Talking generic crap about Linux doesn't help anything. [21:37] for cd's it shows 139MB free, and for DVDs it shows 4GB [21:37] !terminla | JoBe (last link) [21:37] it also burns a LOT of coasters [21:37] !terminal | JoBe (last link) [21:37] JoBe (last link): The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:37] any ideas why it would be doing this? [21:37] ben64_: just saying. i thought linux was suppoesd to be SO stable and SO MUCH BETTER than windows. far as i can tell it's the same crap OS in a different wrapper. maybe chrome will be the one... only time will tell [21:37] JoBe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 [21:37] Soo.... How can I remove pulseaudio without it removing ubuntu-desktop? [21:38] hey how do i block microsoft-ds with iptables 445 [21:38] ben64_: ubuntu-desktop is only a meta package [21:38] it seems to work from the domain machines, how can i create a public share accessible from machines OFF the domain? [21:38] its eating my bandwidth [21:38] ben64_ -> get gentoo and compile without pulseaudio lol [21:38] bokchoi: linux marketing meets reality. [21:38] alankila: stfu [21:38] Thanx All! - Now i got a litle to read :) [21:38] bokchoi, If you have a problem... ASK! Windows and Ubuntu aren't similar at all. And Chrome OS is going to be very similar to Ubuntu. [21:38] !language | bokchoi [21:38] bokchoi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:38] don't feed the trolls [21:39] jeffrey1790, that doesn't help [21:39] he's just trolling..

IN MX [21:39] guntbert, so it won't remove things i need to remove pulseaudio, even though it takes out ubuntu-desktop? [21:39] don't respond to fools like bokchoi [21:39] anyone seen this? http://diablo3x.com/diablo3x-relaunched/ pretty cool! [21:39] is the ";" a comment out? [21:39] everyone knows linux is better ;p [21:39] Toadsworth, Ubuntu people are working on Chrome. [21:39] oh? [21:40] chrome seems to be dual boot option at best [21:40] How do i get the sexy 3D cube? [21:40] chrome seems to be netbook option to me [21:40] ben64_: Yes, but Chrome is really just a browser operating system [21:40] plz go to sites.google.com/site/howtowinafight & click on ads [21:40] ben64_: go ahead [21:40] paperazzami, you need to download the compiz package, can't remember the name of it [21:40] compiz-config maybe [21:41] ben64_: Canonical is working with Google and I'm sure we'll see similarities but it will really be a step in an entirely new direction [21:41] guntbert, if it deletes ubuntu, i'm coming for you :P [21:41] jograd: I'd say the domain doesn't exist /have a mail exchanger [21:41] it's compizconfig-settings-manager [21:41] there we go [21:41] ubuntu, iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dports 137:139 -j DROP [21:41] With MythTV, how do I get my Ubuntu and Laptop to pick up all the TV channels without any hardware and antenna plugged into my Laptop?

[21:43] eternaljoy, yes. otherwise how would it get the tv signal? Since the DTV switch, I'd recommend a HD Tuner. PCHDTV makes a great linux tuner card.

[21:51] doleyb: Arora [21:51] truepurple, there are, but not everyone knows everything [21:51] truepurple: that dosent prove anything. [21:51] I see [21:51] truepurple: it is a big holiday right now also in the usa. [21:52] truepurple: what issue were you having? [21:52] Rather, the day after thankgiving, which really isnt a holiday [21:52] truepurple, like you want bootable flash drive, i know its possible, but i would have to tell you to google it, which i'm sure you did, and therefore i wouldn't be much help to you [21:52] truepurple: You could also check the forums if you are having problems. S [21:52] But ive yet to hear your actual problem. [21:52] truepurple: it's close to a holiday [21:52] bootable flash drive? theres a program thats great for that for windows...

[21:54] rogue780: try typing enter, "reset", enter on it [21:54] Seems to be it in a nutshell but ok, I have a sandisk 8mb flash drive SDCZ6-8192-AW11Z, I wish to know if there is a way to make Ubuntu boot off of it. [21:55] rogue780: i belive you can kill the login process on tty2 with the proper commands.. but im not sure what process you want to kill. getty, mgetty, or somthing similer, or the users bash shell. [21:55] My MoBo is a giga-71xe that does have a usb boot option of some kind [21:55] LjL, negative. my cursor is just blinking still [21:55] anyone seen this? http://diablo3x.com/diablo3x-relaunched/ pretty cool! [21:55] rogue780: were you running something on it? [21:55] truepurple, you try unetbootin? [21:55] truepurple: use unetbootin, or the usb-creator-tool to make it into a bootable live-cd type setup. [21:55] truepurple: i had issues with other usb creators, use Unetbootin, its great.. and hit esc during startup and boot off it, or change ur bios [21:55] Would that work on a sandisk drive? [21:55] where can i get help to configure my internal mic, #alsa is non responsive [21:55] truepurple: or if you want the hardcore answer.. install syslinux , grub, grub2, or lilo, onto the devices mbr. [21:55] LjL, yeah nano crashed it...i tried to open something that nano shouldn't have tried to open [21:56] but I have 30 people logged on to that machine right now....so I really don't want to kill the whole thing [21:56] truepurple: of course [21:56] sandisk is a brand last i looked.. unless we missed somthing... [21:56] rogue780: in that case, try "killall nano" (if you aren't running any other nano instances!) from another console [21:56] rogue780: if that still doesn't work, "killall -9 nano" [21:56] sandisk is good, not that it matters [21:56] LjL, ill try that [21:56] Are flash drives universal, and you can just reformate them with what ever mini-os/format system or what ever the deal is? [21:56] rogue780: (not from root, from the same user) [21:56] truepurple: for the most case yes. There can always be a few quirkyt ones out there. [21:57] ljl, woohoo! thanks! [21:57] truepurple: ive had 'flash drives' that are actually little bitty hard drives. those can act a little stranger [21:57] has anyone configured internal mic in acer aspire with ubuntu 9.10 [21:57] but flash drives are a lot slower than HD's [21:57] truepurple: note, ur motherboard has to suppose usb booting.. but most do (5 years i think) [21:57] i would only use usb to install, not run, unless debugging [21:57] i tried [21:58] Ok theres a second issue, right now I am stuck on win98, how do I install a ubuntu boot on a drive without any official drives for recognizing the flash drive to install anything on it/format it, in the first place [21:58] so does anybody know why latest ubuntu update switched my desktop to xubuntu without even asking [21:58] Does anyone know how to get a virgin mobile usb modem model mc760 to work on ubuntu 9.10? [21:59] Daedro: was the xubuntu-desktop package installed before? [21:59] truepurple: the unetbootin tool can take a ubuntu iso and make a bootable flash drive from it. [21:59] truepurple: the pendrivelinux.com site has guides/tools that can also make a bootable flash drive from within windows. [21:59] truepurple: official drives? dont know if ur speaking english. u should go try what ppl said [21:59] The tool can detect the flash drive even though there is no driver for my OS to recognize it? [22:00] i was think of getting it and i was just worry how to get it to work on linux. [22:00] ur OS doesnt recognize the flash drive, ur motherboard does [22:00] driver, not drive [22:00] truepurple: no idea -about flash drive detection issues in windows. see the #windows channel i guess [22:00] and u dont need drivers [22:00] unless u mean win98 isnt recognizing it? [22:00] I dont recall ever needing drivers for usb for win98.. perhaps win95... [22:00] unetbootin might still detect it.. its pretty thorough [22:00] but this is getting to be a #windows issue now it seems [22:00] Well there is no flash drive interfact that i can see [22:01] does anyone know how to get modile broadband to work on linux? [22:01] What about that unetbootin tool? [22:01] how do i find details of my wireless hardware? [22:01] perlsyntax: you could try kppp [22:01] so what is vim-full these days?

[22:02] robin0800, it a prepaid wireless dsl [22:02] skyl: i was thinking the normal installed vim is now what used to be vim-full.. but ive not really dug into it deeply [22:02] Flannel, just full-featured vim [22:02] in what folder can i find what my keyboard model is? [22:02] skyl: You want "vim" (and always did, vim-full included gvim) [22:02] mmm [22:02] is there any other room than #alsa where i can get help on my internal microphone? [22:03] perlsyntax: yes but does it use dialup? [22:03] in what folder can i find what my keyboard model is? [22:03] paperazzami, is it a usb keyboard?

[22:05] any advice regarding networking linux to windows [22:05] i show you the web site [22:06] i need the application fusesmb [22:06] shinran666: if you mean 'shareing directorys/data' check out the various samba docs/guides. [22:06] shinran666: last i used fusesmb. it dident work very well. [22:06] hmmm so it is fraud for you huh? [22:06] shinran666: i gave up on fusesmb about 2 releases ago. havent tried it in 9.10 [22:06] ok then [22:07] robin0800,http://www.virginmobileusa.com/mobile-broadband [22:07] would me using xubuntu 9.10 do anything different? [22:07] shinran666: when fusesmb worked. it worked very well.. when it dident work.. it was a disaster. [22:07] shinran666: the core of using samba is the same. You could mount the shares via the command line, or other ways. GNOME's file manager has smb browsing features built in which makes it nicer. [22:07] where can i find the flv files that ff is caching? ~/.mozilla/firefox-3.5/qnssmqda.default/Cache is empty!

Because I was told to use something with grep in it <_< [22:21] git__: I bet they are making the claim that it will sit there, powered on, ready for service for 114 years without a problem... but I guarantee you'll have bad blocks & loss of use much sooner than that [22:22] could anyone help me to get my touchscreen up and running?

[22:43] AndyGraybeal: check System > Preferences > Sessions [22:43] lstarnes: Thanks! Different than I had before. I need to run a script before networking and UFW start. Seems the only way is to have my script trigger on a networking event, then trigger ufw on my custom event - but that doesn't seem elegant. Ideas? [22:43] inside [22:43] What is a command line equivalent to installing new updates from the update manager ? [22:43] Hi, does someone know why I got kernel upgrade to 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:53:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) and http://www.ubuntu.com/usn don't show any description on it? [22:43] lstarnes, what is the command to bring up the program that can do it -- i'm in a completely different wm, it's all typing -- lstarns, how do i get to the point where i can see those menus again? [22:44] smacktalk: packages.ubuntu.com is a great place to search [22:44] AndyGraybeal: gnome-panel [22:44] frack. Anyone know what to do to update GRUB menu after removing execute bit from os_prober and putting stuff that already found in 40_custom please msg me [22:44] jad_, sudo apt-get upgrade [22:45] AndyGraybeal: try editing /usr/share/gnome/default.session as well [22:45] yea kostkon but the thing is I don't think its completely the same, they indicate different sizes of uodates [22:45] what's the "Super" key? [22:45] paperazzami, the win key [22:45] one says 30 the other 60 mb [22:45] smacktalk, it would help to know what the heck the program actually does [22:45] jad_, hmm. strange [22:45] paperazzami: "windoze" symbol key [22:45] PMantis: you could have it trigger on the start of the system and have networking require it [22:46] dichtgetikt dat je het niet windows key noemt [22:46] jad_, you sure you are comparing the same figures? [22:46] We need little Superman Logo stickers to put over the windows key logo. :) [22:46] yea [22:46] jad_, maybe there is a partial dist-upgrade you need to do [22:46] nope [22:46] lstarnes: "require" it? It's even driven. do you know how to do that? [22:47] PMantis: use "start on started " [22:47] PMantis: I'm not sure if that would work though [22:48] PMantis: I think upstart still launches a SysV-like set of init scripts like most other linux distributions use [22:48] right now, i first apt-get update then upgrade, the command says 26MB and the update manager says 62MB [22:48] lstarnes: I see that networking.conf in 9.10 has a start line with a parenthesis. Do you know if that means both event contitions have to be satisfied before it fires, or either? [22:48] im confused [22:48] PMantis: I don't know [22:48] PMantis: what does the line look like? [22:48] lstarnes: Yes, it does... and my script is a regular init script now... but it doesn't reliably run before ufw. [22:49] lstarnes: start on (local-filesystem and stopped udevtrigger) [22:49] PMantis: it means that it starts after local-filesystem has been triggered and udevtrigger has been stopped [22:49] How do I disable x / gdm from starting after booting without changing menu.lst for grub? [22:50] Guys, what is the latest kernel version on karmic? I got 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:53:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) - is it latest one? [22:50] Arsin: you should have installed cpufrequtils and gnome-applets [22:50] dual: you could temporarily put an "exit 0" on top of /etc/init.d/gdm [22:50] lstarnes: Hmmmmm, maybe I can add another line there to make it require my custom event, too. [22:50] PMantis: you probably could [22:50] dual - goto login manager in system and select do not start GDM [22:50] dual: if it's just for testing purpose or something [22:50] PMantis: there might be another way to do it by managing the init scripts [22:50] dual: at least that's how i do it [22:51] PMantis: I forget how to modify the SvsV init scripts though [22:51] dual: will get you into serious problems if you can't remember the change later on. [22:51] bassliner, jefelex I'm running ubuntu with lxde on a beagle board (500mhz cpu) and I want to disable gui, but be able to start gdm if I need it some time later [22:51] lstarnes: My next requirement is to unmount a dynamically mounted filesystem after stopping some services on shutdown. [22:51] lstarnes: heh [22:51] PMantis: you could create a custom job for that too [22:52] dual: the proper way is rcconf [22:52] dual: aptitude install rcconf [22:52] ok, apt? [22:52] dual: and then run it and deselect gdm [22:52] yup [22:52] yes, thanks [22:52] Any experts out there on X? I've got a NEC multisync monitor that xorg is failing to probe the modes correctly. [22:52] i fixed my sound problem by installing crunchbang, but now i can only run one program that uses sound at one time, how do i fix this? [22:53] dual -yes, I do that - just disable GDM in the login manager setitings, then when you have a command line at the next boot, type"gdm" or "startx" [22:53] Kudi: Crunchbang is based on Ubuntu 9.04 [22:53] BrandonR: most likely you would just have to increase horizsync and vertrefresh values [22:53] It doesn't detect any usable resolutions at all. If I boot with the monitor turned off I can get 800x600. [22:53] i don't have a /usr/share/gnome/default.session ; so far i haven't gotten to the menu's with the gnome panel either, it just has a blank panel, i have to add modules [22:54] !crunchbang | Kudi [22:54] Kudi: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [22:54] BrandonR: well you need to create a custom xorg.conf that has all the definitions you need.

[23:02] bassliner - can you then use sysv runlevels once you have disabled GDM? [23:02] h4writer: hmm I think I read something about notify-osd difference/issue in 9.10, how something was different from 9.04. I don't think much can be done with notify-osd at the moment, unless you edit the code for it of course. It's also not actsaully part of upstream Gnome. [23:02] kostkon, yes [23:02] !bug | h4writer [23:02] h4writer: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:03] h4writer, try changing your icon theme back to the default for example or to something else [23:03] sebsebseb, yes I know, but I wanted to debug it a bit more before posting a bug ... [23:03] Very quick question: I have downloaded and installed VirtualBox, but now can't find it. When I did this on 9.10 it was in System, but can't see it in 9.04. Any ideas? [23:03] h4writer, or delete and reinstall the current one you are using [23:03] bassliner - I guess you ave to organize which services you run for each runlevel [23:03] because I can't add a lot of details to the bug report ... [23:03] judith: yep [23:03] kostkon, ok I will try [23:03] h4writer, better go back to the default, for a start [23:03] judith: which one did you get by the way? open source version from repo, or other one with USB support? [23:04] any one know why my laptop will find my network but wont let me access the net? [23:04] almostAg33k: no, but your getting a wireless issue? [23:04] Went through the main website, so not sure ... presume open source [23:04] judith: did you download a DEB for Ubuntu after going to their website? [23:04] almostag33k - you may find that the signal is not strong enough [23:04] sebsebseb: yes, i thinb [23:04] that is what I have found [23:04] why do I get all of this junk in my home dir? [23:05] How can I see the changelog for some package updates on my server? For example, php has a security release out just recently - how would I check the changelog for apt-get upgrade? [23:05] i was sitting next to the router [23:05] When I plug in my iPod nano I can select a program to open from a list. Is it possible to make a script/program that unmount and then mounts the ipod and put it in the list? [23:05] that may be why [23:05] jefelex: that could indeed be true [23:05] about to give up on this ubuntu stuff, over 2 weeks to get a tvtuner to work (2 actually) and nothing seems to work one application plays picture no sound, the other one plays nothing at all the one that can play both picture and sound is so rudimentary to use is useless, can anyone offer a link on where to go to properly configure a hauppauge 1600 or avernedia usb to work under ubuntu thx [23:05] I had the same problem a while ago [23:05] hi i'm using reiserfs but I've been getting a few odd errors... would it be worth switching filesystem.. and if so does anyone have any recommendations? [23:05] almostAg33k: well when getting hardware issues, it's good to know some details, so you can maybe fix it yourself, or provide the details to someone else, that can help you properly, that's not me by the way [23:05] kostkon, It still shows that icon. Should I restart notify-osd? [23:05] 41 items in my home dir by default?

Download and install seemed to go OK [23:05] h4writer, hmm. you could try yeap [23:06] neon_; dont' give up .. it's worth investing .. you end up knowing why and how things happen... [23:06] kostkon, doesn't help [23:06] jefelex: that's one of the very few things i like about redhat tho [23:06] judith: ok [23:06] neon_; but I feel for you .. it's pretty frustrating having to battle [23:06] I thought installing fresh would give me a cleaner setup to start fresh ... [23:06] bassliner - yes exactly - good ol' red hat!! [23:06] h4writer, :/ [23:06] judith: I guess it was the version with USB support [23:06] hi ! i'm searching software to recover files from a bad harddisk, found gddrecover, but thats only for full disks, not for files [23:06] jefelex: i have to use it at work, don't remind me... [23:06] but I have this great .pulse dir ... can I just erase all of this?

[23:06] i got everythin running the way iwant to, just my tv tuner cause is the only tv source for me [23:07] jefelex: seriously, the debian/ubuntu boxes are much much lesser pain [23:07] judith: as for installing Virtualbox or any other program for that matter, what sometimes happens is, you install the program, but then it does not show on the menu [23:07] ol' is the operative word!! [23:07] excuse me, does anybody knows how can i change all folder's icon to another one using hydroxygen as principal theme? [23:07] neon_; which card? [23:07] Um_cara_qualquer: you can set it in the gnome preferences [23:07] gotta run! [23:07] Um_cara_qualquer: appearance dialog [23:07] judith: to get it showing, you should be able to just log out of your Ubuntu account and back in, or you can re install the program [23:07] That seems to be what happened - was spoilt in 9.10 .. has instant icon. Nothing in 9.04 [23:07] anyone: what should i replace reiserfs with?? would switching be recommended? [23:08] judith: Why did you go from 9.10 to 9.04 by the way? [23:08] 9.10 is pretty broken [23:08] somebody can recommend me a tool ? [23:08] Guest91857: yep it is, here and there [23:08] How is it broken? [23:08] compiz, icons, media players, nothing worked for me [23:08] I had big problems with the chipset upgrades . graphics ... 9.04 went seamlessly. Can now watch BBC iPlayer - couldn't before. [23:08] truepurple: uhmm I guess reading the 9.10 release notes is a start, if you want to find out about issues that it has [23:09] hi guys, i have a new gamepad, but i'm not opening it because i have to check it works on linux first. is there any guide or tutorial to manage this hardware? [23:09] !notes | truepurple [23:09] truepurple: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [23:09] bassliner, i see... but when i try change to another one... the entire theme is changed with it... i just wanna change the folder's icons [23:09] among these 41 items is not a .vim dir or a .vimrc ... [23:09] lukus: hauppauge 1600, it work ok under mplayer but is a pain to change channels, tvtime does not work at all and mythtv seems to have been created by who knows who, some one that like pain no doubt [23:09] judith: chip set upgrades for what? [23:10] anyone want google wave invites [23:11] !ot | Guest91857 [23:11] I have an HP2133 - Via Chrome9 ... I know very little about Ubuntu, but in 9.04 everything worked with easy debugging that didn't work so easily in 9.20 [23:11] Guest91857: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:11] judith: ok :) [23:11] judith: well really 9.04 is the better release over all [23:11] neon_; are you using the linux cx18 driver at the moment? [23:11] judith: or at least for some of us [23:11] hej [23:11] lukus: yes [23:11] I will get better with time, but that's good to know. 9.04 seems so much more user-friendly! [23:11] how do i setup a wireless printer? [23:11] the latest one from the mercurial source [23:12] judith: Why do you think that? [23:12] neon_; i reckon your best bet would be posting on ubuntuforums maybe [23:12] neon_; more chance of someone relevant reading yr issue [23:12] lukus: i been reading, and i will keep trying, just need a to vent a bit :) [23:13] bassliner, are you here? [23:13] Um_cara_qualquer: yup [23:13] neon_; fair enough, good luck :) [23:13] heh [23:13] lukus: thx [23:13] bassliner, so... when i try change to another one... the entire theme is changed with it... i just wanna change the folder's icons [23:13] Easier to install things, easier to understand for the uninitiated like me! The ubuntu installation guide for 9.04 was easy, unlike 9.10 (may be more a problem with my netbook) [23:13] neon_; np [23:13] judith: oh your on a net book [23:14] judith: So you did Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix? [23:14] is there a manual to help set up a wireless printer? [23:14] Um_cara_qualquer: appearance -> theme -> customize -> icons [23:14] Um_cara_qualquer: and just select an icon theme there [23:14] Yes, just to try out ope source stuff ... didn't want to risk messing up pc and laptop ... seasoned Windows user! [23:14] coastal: uhmm I guess some where, and maybe this bot factoid will be useless for you, but it's worth a look at the links [23:14] Um_cara_qualquer: if you just want to change the folders icons [23:15] !cups | coastal [23:15] coastal: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[23:15] Um_cara_qualquer: and cp -R yourleettheme blafooblahblub and edit or replace the specific icon in blafooblahblub [23:15] I tried the latest UNR and it was incredibly slow. Problem with HP2133 £D I think, then went to 9.10, then 9.04 ... finally happy! [23:15] Well whats the cliff notes of the issues a end user might notice with 9.10 verses 9.4? [23:15] Um_cara_qualquer: got it? :) [23:15] hello [23:16] judith: you did desktop version on your net book as well for 9.10? [23:16] bassliner, hang on... i must diggest all those info [23:16] Um_cara_qualquer: if not feel free to /query me :-) [23:16] whenever I login to ubuntu it asks me for the password to the default keyring [23:16] is it meant to do this? [23:16] Yes - too slow. I liked the look of it, but I don't think it suits my netbook [23:17] somebody knows a tool to recover files from a half-broken harddisk ? [23:17] quick question before I decide to install ubuntu, anyone know if HDMI out for a 9800M GTS works in ubuntu? [23:17] Um_cara_qualquer, sabes que hay un canal #ubuntu-es, verdad? [23:17] can try to copy them with Nautilus, but think there is a better way? [23:17] judith: I know of another distro that is actsaully a lot more user friendly than Ubuntu, much smaller IRC community though. 9.04 has untill like October with security updates and that's it, it will go end of life. However 10.04 is coming out at the end of April which is the next long term support release, 3 years of support on the desktop and 5 on the server. 9.04 can't be upgraded to it directly, you would have to go through 9.10 [23:17] first. 10.04 would be a good one to clean install for a few reasons [23:17] As in 720P out 1280x768 [23:18] I'm trying to run 2 video cards Ones a Ati card and Ones a Nvida basic card with 128mb. In Ubuntu 9.10 I can only get the Ati card to start can someone help me to configure the other one ? [23:19] Ghoster, have you got a driver for it? [23:19] EntityReborn, didn't knew [23:19] EntityReborn, thx man [23:19] Maybe I will try to go to 9.10 once the HP2133 problems have been resolved. Which is the other distro? I could try dual installation? [23:19] Can anyone tell me why my printer is printing blank papers? Its a deskjet 3425 (3400 series) [23:19] Yeah everytime I install the nvida driver it unloads the ati one... [23:19] Um_cara_qualquer, your welcome :P [23:19] Its "writing" on the paper but nothing comes out [23:19] judith: that's the other thing with this type of software, development is rather fast, so for many of these programs, releases don't last that long really, and then they don't get security updates anymore [23:19] everybody ignores me :( [23:19] judith: development being fast, depends on the project [23:19] hedkandi - it used to ask for this on mine when it was connecting through wireless. [23:20] hi, can I somehow find out what program is using network? because I'm not aware that I have any download running and yet the system monitor shows that the full capacity of network is used [23:20] anyone know if there is any proxy type sites that would allow you to play flash located on another website without having to install flash on the client ( this is a method I thought might be possible to avoid flash support limitation on powerpc) [23:20] Re. virtualbox, is there a command line I could try to find it? [23:20] hedkandi: Yeah everytime I install the nvida driver it unloads the ati one... [23:20] Guest96372, right but is that meant to happen [23:20] judith: try opening it from the termianl with virtualbox [23:20] Ghoster: well they're probably incompatible then? [23:20] judith: type virtualbox and hit enter [23:21] Hello, i'm wondering why i can only ssh to my ubuntu machine using my internal ip address? When i try to ssh using my regular ip and the ssh port it times out every time [23:21] Ghoster, is it documented? [23:21] judith: other distros and such, that's off topic for this channel really, but that's fine in pm :) [23:21] mhhh [23:21] didnt know u could run an ati and nvidia card together [23:21] why jaunty x.org segfaults when I enable the wacom sections? [23:21] no I dunno how it works with video drivers [23:21] Hedkandi I have searched for this kind a setup with no leads... Thought I would ask you smart people [23:21] hedkandi - yes as a security measure. there is a way to disable it (that is, to connect without prompting). hang on and I'll have a look... [23:22] judith: I assume you want to virtual machine Windows? [23:22] somebody knows a tool to recover files from a half-broken harddisk ? [23:22] Just trying the command line! [23:22] so my grandmas computer is 6 years old and chokes on windows and aol and im thinking about switching her to linux any thoughts? [23:22] judith: it's a graphical app. you can open it from the command line [23:23] Ghoster, what tools are available for fiddling with the video drivers then? [23:23] hola? [23:23] hello? [23:23] konichiwa? [23:23] Yes, I was thinking about trying XP or Vista, but am lacking a product key at the moment! [23:23] !es | bernardo_ [23:23] bernardo_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

I just upgraded a system from Jaunty to Karmic and now it's not booting. [23:25] !details | jblack [23:25] usually when im here it is [23:25] jblack: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:25] aSt3raL: as for which distro, well it depends on how much RAM the computer has, and stuff like that [23:25] On the screen I get a complaint about mountall getting a SEGV, ntpd trying to start and fail, and a blinking cursor, without a login. [23:25] hedkandi - looking on the forums it appears there is variation in opinion on whether it should or not (ask for keyring). I disabled mine the first time it prompted me for it - will have a look to see how it is done now... [23:25] The problem is that I am still sing XP on an old PC - presume I can't use it twice. Vista has been upgrades to Win 7, but CD is a Samsung one, so may not work for different computer. [23:25] p4 2ghz, 256mb ram, onboard video [23:25] I have a user who is unable to SCP a server from the external network (doesn't authenticate), but it connects fine from the internal network [23:25] ctrl-c does nothing, ctrl-alt-del attempts to start a shutdown, but then gets stuck. [23:26] 80gb hdd i think [23:26] judith: it is possible to actsaully convert an XP install into a virtual machine [23:26] how do you set up wireless can someone drop me a link [23:26] how do i stop ubuntu from automatically logging into X... i need to do it through the ocmmand lines, the regular wmenus that are normally there to change this aren gone right now. [23:26] somebody knows a tool to recover files from a half-broken harddisk ? [23:26] i told her to buy a new damn desktop but when i was driving home i thought linux would prob work for her [23:26] The most current kernel is 2.6.28-something, I tried 2.6.27-something, also on the system, and rescue mode in both also show the same problem. [23:26] doc-saintly: possibly port 22 needs to be forwarded to the server if behind a firewall or the ISP may block port 22. [23:26] aSt3raL: well yes, with the correct distro, Linux breaths a lot of life into old hardware! [23:27] That sounds good. I have installed VirtualBox in Terminal, but still can't see it anywhere! [23:27] doc-saintly: firewall/router [23:27] There are also a handful of udev complaints. [23:27] dupondje: define half broken hard drive [23:27] I know of a program to recover files from erasing and stuff, but not sure about damage to the drive itself [23:27] hi, does anybody know where jscalibrator is? it doesn't appear on repos [23:27] what about flash though? [23:27] judith: you mean you did this? sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose ? [23:27] Found it :-) [23:27] Is this a router issue?? [23:27] i dunno if thatd work with 256mg ram [23:27] For that, you would probably need a professional service [23:27] judith: that would install the open source version that has no USB support === jim is now known as Guest23177 [23:27] i love ubuntu. [23:27] Yes, and it worked¬ [23:27] maybe buy some used ram and drop it in [23:27] bastid_raZor: nope, other user is able to connect fine. and it wouldn't be throwing an authentication issue if the router wasn't allowing the traffic [23:28] Does anybody know why my desktop won't connect to any wireless networks? It sees them, but it won't connect to them [23:28] so what program is good for video editing [23:28] !love | jp-enguin [23:28] jp-enguin: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath.

[23:28] jsubl2: there's also Synfig for 2D animation and Blender for 3D moddeling by the way [23:29] doc-saintly: so it rejects his password? [23:29] Ghoster: you need to find some more tools [23:29] bastid_raZor: yes, even though the password works fine on the internal network [23:29] It's not any of the cards. It's the operating system. [23:29] jblack: safe mode or rescue mode doesnt work? [23:29] hedkandi - http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/ [23:29] sebsebseb: ok just mainly pasting some video together from the camcorder with minor cutting and pasting [23:29] Ghoster: do a search on synaptics for all the utility packages involving video cards [23:29] acicula: bad blocks, some unreadable files. It didn't spin up anymore, had to open it. Now it gets seen by pc, but want to recover some files on it, not all [23:29] judith: well that version is fine, unless you want USB support [23:29] Guest96372, how interesting! [23:29] It's VB ose, apparently! [23:29] acicula: Nope. single shows exactly the same problem, so it's going bad really early. [23:29] hedkandi : <--- you look like a good tool :) [23:29] dupondje: open as in you physically opened the drive? [23:30] anyone [23:30] where can I find a repo that has a daily build of KDE 4.4? [23:30] judith: that's the one in the repo [23:30] jblack: does the kernel even load? [23:30] How can it be seen by the PC if it doesnt spin up any more [23:30] K [23:30] acicula: yes [23:30] How do I PM for distro? Will need to turn in soon ... [23:30] acicula: Yup, and it gets as far as running some init scripts. The last two things on the console before trying to boot are mountall getting a SEGV, and ntpd trying to start [23:30] dupondje: yeah you need a professional recovery service now [23:30] judith: I tried to pm you earlier actsaully about three times and had no reply [23:30] all ALL of my cards are supported. Why don't they work? [23:31] hoho [23:31] sebsebseb, heh thanks [23:31] acicula: surely not, it shows the disk in ubuntu :) its mounted, and can see files, just want a programm that tries a bit harder to copy everything, instead on giving up after 1 read retry [23:31] judith: there should be a thing with my name on it? [23:31] doc-saintly: i'm not finding anything on google or the forums about failed pass from outside the network but inside it works. i have no idea. [23:31] judith: if not click on mine and should open pm up [23:31] Hello, i'm wondering why i can only ssh to my ubuntu machine using my internal ip address? When i try to ssh using my regular ip and the ssh port it times out every time, is this a router issue? [23:31] bastid_raZor: hmm. alright well i'm in the same boat XD. thanks for trying though [23:31] jblack: you could try the livecd and chrooting into your system, that way you can at least figure out/fix whats wrong? [23:31] judith: I could say in here really, but someone might not like that [23:31] That could be my fault ... new and clueless user. Will try now. [23:32] acicula: Yeah, I'm downloading an ubuntu-rescue-remix as we speak.. That's painfully slow as it's via cell phone. [23:32] what is the .cache dir for? [23:32] And why does my PS/2 keyboard only work half the time? [23:32] dupondje: well, in that case dd is as low as you can go [23:32] I am looking for software suggestions. I am looking for open source book writing software, any ideas? [23:32] acicula: I get the impression that udev is not happy with the current kernel. The newest one on the system is 2.6.28-something. [23:32] Ubuntu: Don't expect it to work on a desktop [23:32] acicula: but with dd I can't copy files ? just the full parition ? [23:32] it will make a carbon copy of what your disk spits out, but it may still get stuck on read errors [23:32] don't know if its the settings in the laptop off but prolly the router [23:32] partition* [23:32] hello gusy [23:33] vistro, sounds like the hardware, I've never had a software prob with linux and a keyboard [23:33] dupondje: err yeah [23:33] dupondje: dump the disk, then try to recover?

[23:34] KittyBoots: its website [23:34] I bet that 2.6.28 is too old for current udevs. [23:35] KittyBoots: sorry misread, if you want to learn about open source maybe gnu.org ? === Guest23177 is now known as jim [23:35] i want to upgrade for new ubuntu, is anybody who can help me? [23:35] KittyBoots: Synaptic [23:35] acicula: I am looking for something specific and I am not having rewarding results. [23:35] KittyBoots: a specific program you mean? [23:35] I could see a too-old-kernel breaking udev bad enough that the filesystems don't mount properly, etc. At least I hope. :| === jim is now known as Guest34769 === Guest34769 is now known as sleight === Guest96372 is now known as martyn [23:36] Or it's mountall SEGVing. /me rolls his eyes [23:36] hey, when I delete a user in "users and groups" he disappears, and then the next time I start the dialog he's back! [23:36] acicula: I am looking for a book writing program, that I used about a year ago, but I forgot what it was called. === martyn is now known as martyn2020 [23:36] where is the passwd file on users? [23:36] KittyBoots: latex related? [23:37] KittyBoots, open office org? [23:37] hedkandi: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow- [23:37] hedkandi: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow [23:37] - - [23:37] hedkandi: /etc/passwd [23:37] hrm >_> [23:37] why doesn't the dialog function properly? [23:37] When I ssh to my ubuntu machine from vista it works fine IF I am using the internal ip address for that box, but when i use just my regular ip address it times out every time... Is there anyway to fix this? Could someone point me in the right direction? I am thinking its a router issue? [23:37] acicula, iKernel: it is not open office more specific, and it may be latex related [23:37] sudo deluser username? [23:37] matth3w: Time out, or refused? [23:37] KittyBoots, I have latex boots. They fall apart really easy. [23:38] matth3w, you have a firewall issue [23:38] does anybody knows how can i change all folder's icon to another one using hydroxygen as principal theme? [23:38] matth3w: regular ip adress means [23:38] matth3w: that does sound like you need to forward port 22 to the internal IP of the ubuntu box [23:38] maybe it is refused [23:38] if it's a timeout, it's definitey a firewall. if it's refused, it's eitehr a timeout, or you haven't configured ssh to listen on the public interface. [23:38] just installed xchat and ccsm. any other things i should play with? [23:38] okay i will try that when i get home [23:38] pardon if it's refused, its' either a firewall, or you haven't configured... [23:39] matth3w: also you ISP may block 22. some ISP's do some don't. [23:39] sleight: ncmpc and irssi [23:39] sleight: <3 [23:39] okay [23:39] thank you for all the responses ;) [23:40] matth3w: if that is the case you can have ssh listen to multiple ports by adding the other port in /etc/.ssh/sshd_config [23:40] I wonder if I can use init=/bin/sh [23:40] matth3w: you will need to restart ssh or reboot. both work. [23:41] hi, is there a bot? [23:41] okay thank you bastid_raZor [23:41] I have two nic's, both are using dhcp client for now to connect, but the problem is that both try to set the default route and it screws up routing [23:41] how can I configure the /etc/network/interfaces so that it ignores the default route returned from the dhcp server on eth1? [23:41] iKernel: I am looking for software similar to http://www.lyx.org/AboutLyX but more for novel writing. [23:42] will I have to modify the dhclient.conf file ? [23:43] i want to upgrade ubuntu Beta 9.10 to full version [23:43] boingolov: cant you specify that in the interfaces file? [23:43] i want to upgrade ubuntu Beta 9.10 to full version [23:43] boingolov: man interfaces [23:43] is it me or dos flash suck on Linux? [23:43] zzzxzzz: it should automatically update to the release version when you update its packages [23:43] zzzxzzz: apt-get upgrade? [23:43] Anybody here ever used the ata module in grub2 instead of the bios module? [23:44] apt-get ??????? [23:44] acicula, I've been looking at that man page [23:44] I ve a good question. Aside from using usb-creator, what else do I need to do to create a bootable usb stick? I've tried two. One says that the operating system is missing, and the other says that the partition is damaged [23:44] hi, is the video bug for karmic fixed (464591)? [23:44] what is this sorry [23:44] zzzxzzz: the package manager [23:44] I don't know but my "users and groups" tool won't delete a user! [23:44] how rubbish! [23:44] am I forgetting something? [23:44] or where can i find? [23:44] zzzxzzz: enter this in a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:45] doesn't look like it allows you to tell it exactly what to request from dhclient , but I can probably override that in the dhclient.conf [23:45] zzzxzzz: that will automatically update the package database then install the newest versions of all the packages that are installed [23:45] noone knows? [23:46] thank [23:47] hi all [23:47] can anyone point me to the most current directons for setting up a ubuntu chroot on a ubuntu powerpc system.. I seem to fail every time using directions for installing x86 arch on this platform [23:47] thank you for not helping me everyone [23:48] I have a major usb issue, when copying a large file, my system load shoots from 1 to 10 and the xfer slows down to a snails pace [23:48] what is happening here? there are no messages in dmesg [23:48] how would I change my identity at a bash shell? [23:49] hedkandi: change identity? [23:49] be a different user [23:49] how do i know which driver my wirelesscard is currently using? [23:49] hedkandi: "su newuser" [23:49] vici0us: lshw -C Network [23:50] erUSUL: ty [23:52] hi, am i in room "#ubuntu"? [23:52] yuanmin: yes [23:52] yuanmin: yes [23:52] thanks, :) [23:52] hi, trustguard returned a report that Apache 2.2.11 has security vulnerabilities and to pass the test i need to upgrade to 2.2.12, but the latest upgrade that was available few days ago is 2.2.11-2ubuntu2.5 - does any one know if this last update contains the security fix even though it's not 2.2.12? [23:53] how do you stop being su someone? [23:53] hedkandi: "exit" [23:53] hi, i have blocked a friend with pidgin, how do i do to unblock him? [23:53] hi i want to ask why my ubuntu 9.10 continue ask me the key of my wifi when i have already connected to my wifi? [23:53] cool [23:54] can you enter like su root? [23:54] !root [23:54] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:54] Hello I'm new to linux, is it true that user and root passwords only matters for physical access? [23:54] sudo is a pain! [23:54] aron_: uhm, what do you mean? [23:54] hedkandi: why? [23:54] cos you have to keep entering your passwd [23:55] hedkandi: not true. [23:55] hedkandi: 1) by default, sudo is configured to not ask the password again for about 15 minutes [23:55] Well why does ubuntu tell me to have a six character password that I have to enter all the time [23:55] hedkandi: 2) you can type "sudo -i" and then go on with your commands, if you know that you'll need to be root for a while [23:55] 15 mins isn't much time [23:55] When I'm on a fedora system I just login as root! it's so much easier. [23:55] hedkandi: it can be changed, although it seems plenty of time to me [23:56] why my ubuntu 9.10 continue ask me the key of my wifi every 5 minutes when i have already connected to my wifi? [23:56] hedkandi: and also so much more foolish and dangerous [23:56] never mind, i just needed to rightklick [23:56] we don't support that here [23:56] puss [23:56] lol [23:56] LjL: the word is "convenient" [23:56] Some of us have a clue and don't do stupid things... I dunno about you. [23:56] Hi, every time I press ctrl+shift my keyboard layout changes from english to ascii. This is incredibly annoying since a bunch of my kb shortcuts use ctrl+shift+something. Does anybody know how to disable this? I never use it anyway. [23:56] anyone know of a web based (in a browser) face to face webcam chat that works on ubuntu? oovoo does one but I can't get the page to load [23:56] this is messed up [23:57] Anyone help me please, I'm trying to configure firestarter on a remote server via ssh, I run the wizard, setup rules to allow ssh but as soon as I start the firewall it severs my ssh session, it basically blocks everything no matter what rules I apply [23:57] hedkandi: stupid things like running an IRC client as root? [23:57] rootshell | hedkandi [23:57] !rootshell > hedkandi [23:57] hedkandi, please see my private message [23:57] why my ubuntu 9.10 ask me the password of my wifi every 5 minutes where i have already connected to my wifi? [23:59] helltraum, do you have *only* firestarter as the frontend interface that is ON ? [23:59] LjL: why my ubuntu 9.10 ask me the password of my wifi every 5 minutes where i have already connected to my wifi? [23:59] I used CZ to image a drive, then put the new drives in. It didn't work, so when I put the old drives back, somehow grub was on them [23:59] how do you set up secure e-mail in ubuntu? [23:59] can anyone help me? [23:59] yuanmin: uh... i wouldn't know that. [23:59] ie: ufw - the default in Ubuntu - is installed on the server edition [23:59] LjL: ok, thanks :) [23:59] aSt3raL: secure email as in OpenPGP? [23:59] maybe?
