[00:00] Anyone here running vmware server 2 on ubuntu 9.10 [00:00] what if im sending it to someone using windows? [00:00] Is it safe to have an easy pswd or none at all for a non-root user, if my computer is physically safe? [00:00] roger! I see that is a useful thing to make myself root [00:00] aron : no ! [00:01] never make yourself root [00:01] sebsebseb, kostkon, ty for you help both. I posted a bug report: #489414 [00:01] aron_: that password is used both locally and remotely - i.e. it will prevent someone with physical access from doing admin-like things on your computer, but it will also prevent them from logging in remotely if you have any sort of remote login facility (such as an SSH server) enabled. ubuntu, by default, doesn't come with any such thing enabled, though. [00:01] change your root password using sudo passwd root [00:01] ibuclaw not sure what you mean ... I just done a apt-get install firestarter [00:01] ^^aron__ : You should have a passd for the least [00:01] h4writer: ok [00:01] That worked on my local machine [00:01] just when I try it for this remote machine .... [00:02] It doesn't work [00:02] sebsebseb why my ubuntu 9.10 ask me the password of my wifi every 5 minutes where i have already connected to my wifi? [00:02] helltraum, when you turn the firewall on? [00:02] seriously this is a bug in "system - admin - users and groups" : [00:02] It will not delete a user [00:03] Ok ... first time I install it ... it runs the wizard [00:03] aSt3raL: depends on the mail client you use. most make it quite automatic. gnerate your gpg keys (using seahorse for example) [00:03] that is a pretty damning criticism of ubuntu if they can't even get that right. [00:03] yuanmin: don't know [00:03] LjL, I see I haven't installed any servers or ssh so I should be safe then [00:03] I then setup the rules through the front end (I'm using X11 forwarding) [00:03] aSt3raL: in evolution ther is support out of the box in Thunderbird you have to install enigmail iirc [00:04] !gpg [00:04] then I start the firewall [00:04] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [00:04] sebsebseb: thanks , :D [00:04] Is there a fix for vmware workstation on ubuntu 9.10.. making it behave like in 9.04 [00:04] !gpg > aSt3raL [00:04] aSt3raL, please see my private message [00:04] it blocks everything [00:04] judgen: Meaning? [00:04] severs my ssh and X11 forwarding [00:04] Hello. I'm trying to run Wubi. It finished the Ubuntu/Wubi installation, but when I try to boot into Ubuntu I get just a "grub:sh" prompt. What did I do wrong? :S [00:04] blocks the web server ... [00:04] hedkandi, would depend what you are trying to do - how you are doing it. Last time I checked I could do whatever with user accounts freely in there. [00:04] hello, everyone, good evening. I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me with. I installed Ubuntu perfectly today, with a ATI Graphic card on my computer. Everything was good. But, afterwards, I proceded to physically remove the ATI card and installed a Nvidia card instead. So, after booting my computer back up to see if everything was ok, ubuntu doesnt boot up. Well, it does but there seems to be a problem with trying to lo [00:04] ad the nvidea card. Any ideas? Thanks. [00:05] sebsebseb, meaning that it did not run at a comfortable speed in kernels later than 2.6.16-28 [00:05] judgen: Well that's VMware's fault not Ubuntu's [00:05] judgen: since it's closed source [00:05] sebsebseb, hmm can i revert to a older kernel somehow? [00:05] helltraum, when you ssh on, run: sudo ufw status [00:05] !empathy [00:05] Empathy is an instant messaging and video chat client for GNOME. In !karmic, Empathy will replace Pidgin as the default IM client. [00:05] judgen: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? [00:06] 9.10. [00:06] ibuclaw: well it won't delete a user [00:06] MayaG: do you have onboard video? [00:06] helltraum, ufw may be turned on by default on server [00:06] sebsebseb, karmic. [00:06] helltraum, ufw - like firestarter - is just another frontend to the Linux IPTables firewall. [00:06] judgen: as far as I know really you should be using the kernel from the Karmic repo. You could try Virtualbox instead that can use VMDK files. You can also put Ubuntu 9.04 back on of course. [00:06] hello nytek, its a Nvidea 120 i think it is onboard [00:06] The remote server is not ubuntu .. it's debian [00:06] judgen: you could even try another distro [00:07] hello everyone [00:07] sebsebseb, virtualbox does not support 3d as good as vmw workstation. [00:07] helltraum, also: iptables -L [00:07] MayaG: its an onboard nvidia card? [00:07] helltraum, check if any other configuration got in there. [00:08] nytek umm.. yes [00:08] does anyone in here run ubuntu 9.10 on a MacBook2,1? [00:08] it is [00:08] erUSUL, what? [00:08] apparently there isn't a clean way to do the dual dhcp nic's / default gateway thing, but interface "eth1" { supersede routers "0.0.0.0"; } did the trick, just gives an error about an invalid addy when it brings up the interface [00:08] hello, does ubuntu also have problems with the new nvidia drivers, xorg and desktop effects? using sabayon now but thinking about changing back to ubuntu since the desktop effects is messing both with kwin and compiz, the desktop hangs and lags [00:08] nvidia gt 120 [00:08] in the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [00:08] judgen: Well really in my opinion anyway, for many of us Ubuntu 9.04 would be the better release over all, rather than 9.10 (it's just many Ubuntu users don't reolize that). Nothing wrong with putting 9.04 back on when it's still being supported by security updates. [00:08] shouldn't be that ugly, this is easy on rhel === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:09] guys i want to made upgrade with terminal and i got this message:E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:09] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:09] How do I install ark? [00:09] zzzxzzz: you got synaptic or the graphical update manager open when trying to do that? [00:09] KittyBoots: sudo apt-get install ark [00:09] how do i mount the World of Warcraft DVD so that it shows up right for Wine to install the game? [00:09] zzzxzzz: you can't install software from apt-get/aptitude when a graphical program for it is being run [00:09] MayaG: can you see your bios info when you load the machine? [00:09] Ponuwon: Acetoneiso2 or gmount [00:10] yes sir [00:10] judgen: maybe #vmware can help you [00:10] i can.. [00:10] zzzxzzz, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock [00:10] MayaG: thens its a driver problem, you might have to reinstall [00:10] hedkandi, I can remove users with no issue [00:10] ahhh [00:10] i see [00:10] Archanamiya: gmount? is that a download in the software center? [00:10] i don't use graphical program just the xchat [00:10] hedkandi, check that whatever user you are trying to remove is not already logged in. [00:10] Ponuwon: yes [00:11] !botsnack [00:11] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [00:11] hedkandi, or yourself - or root. [00:11] zzzxzzz: what kind of upgrade are you trying to do? [00:11] MayaG: :( [00:11] ibuclaw, are they really gone tho: have you looked in the passwd file? [00:11] Ponuwon: Wait. You want to mount an ISO right? [00:11] ubuntu 9.10 [00:11] zzzxzzz: right, 9.04 to 9.10? [00:11] ibuclaw: What version of ubuntu are you on? [00:11] dat f****** prawn [00:11] nytek, what would be the best way to do that? i partitioned my HD and how can i reinstall it in the same partiotion i had it? [00:11] Archanamiya: its not an iso though its the actually DVD but when i insert the disk it mounts an only shows some Mac OS folder [00:12] and i have beta version [00:12] !language | Archanamiya [00:12] zzzxzzz, read my post above, copy and paste it into the terminal [00:12] Archanamiya: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:12] zzzxzzz: a beta of what? [00:12] 9.10 [00:12] Ponuwon: I see... Can't help you there than. Ask someone else. Sorry :S [00:12] beta 9.10 [00:13] we can lead a horse to water.... [00:13] prawns [00:13] how do i mount the World of Warcraft DVD so that it shows up right for Wine to install the game? [00:13] Ponuwon: try asking in #winehq [00:14] Ponuwon: just insert the disk? [00:14] and then open the setup.exe :) [00:14] it will open wine automaticly [00:15] hedkandi, with the exception of 1 group of a user I created, yes. [00:15] Ponuwon: or what dupondje put I guess [00:15] hey guys, can anybody please tell me how to suspend an ubutu box from the commandline? [00:15] 9.10 [00:15] well it doesn't work for me on karmic [00:15] Is there a best practice screencasting tool on Jaunty? recordmydesktop plus audacity -> ffmpeg to create an mp4 seems as good as any as I've found as far as size, but it's still enormous (2.3MB for 45 seconds, and I need to do 15-60 minute recordings). [00:15] sebsebseb ? [00:15] dupondje: i do just insert the disk but it mounts and only shows some Mac OS folder and wont let me install the game [00:16] !upgrade | zzzxzzz [00:16] hi [00:16] zzzxzzz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:16] !final | zzzxzzz [00:16] zzzxzzz: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Karmic. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [00:16] zzzxzzz: well yeah you will have the final if you can upgrade from your beta, as long as the updates were done properly, then you will have the real proper thing for 9.10 === usuario-master_ is now known as colofon [00:19] !language | ubottu [00:19] Archanamiya: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:19] o_o [00:19] sebsebseb: thanks [00:19] FYI, /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux sends ubuntu to sleep ;) [00:20] :D === mike is now known as Guest25824 [00:21] Archanamiya: I want to use the bot again, but that may mean I will ruin your fun a bit.

[00:22] how do i mount the World of Warcraft DVD so that it shows up right for Wine to install the game? no help from #winehq because they say its a mount issue [00:23] !mount | Ponuwon [00:23] Ponuwon: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [00:23] Ponuwon: That was a factoid guess, well maybe that link will be useful [00:24] Ponuwon: also I thought the CD needed to be mounted in wineconfig [00:24] or something [00:24] Ponuwon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft walks you through it, you basically just copy the files [00:24] Flannel: how can i copy the files though if i cant see them on the DVD [00:24] Flannel: Hmm why didn't I think that there is probably a link, oh well I guess [00:25] Flannel: the only thing i can see on the DVD is a Mac OSX.app folder [00:25] Flannel: the dvd is for both Windows and Mac OS [00:26] Ponuwon: You have to remount it, there's a note on that page under "Original WoW", right above the second code box thing in that section [00:26] hola frikis [00:27] is there anyway to send a system wide message to all logged in users via terminal. [00:27] Flannel: ill give it a try thank you for the help [00:27] how can I disable pulse audio again? [00:27] (temporarily) [00:28] Ponuwon: Good luck, and I forgot that there is an Ubuntu link for WOW [00:30] hi, whats a good program (preferably GUI and very easy!) to burn a movie to dvd on ubuntu? also one that cna burn subtitles [00:31] birdistheword: devede if you need to convert from a non dvd file. [00:31] i do, bastid_raZor its .mkv :/ [00:31] birdistheword, i always use brasero but dont know if you can burn subtitles though [00:32] sebsebseb, hmm i updated the kernel to the newest available in the repos. and now it seems to run just fine. [00:32] judgen: ok good, and yes always get the security updates [00:32] birdistheword: devede will do fine then, it will convert and make a file (.iso) ready to be burnt. then use any burning app (brasero or k3b) to burn it to disc [00:32] judgen: when on an Internet connected install [00:32] k bastid_raZor. can it do subtitles? [00:32] sebsebseb, always is =) [00:33] judgen: you always are you mean [00:33] ? [00:33] birdistheword: yes, [00:33] all i needed to know. thanks for your help bastid_raZor , mMezquitale [00:34] hello [00:34] is anybody here to help me? [00:35] zzzxzzz: we can't help you if we don't know what you need help with [00:35] please just ask your question [00:35] wow that was some crappy 3dmark score in vmware... 8000 =P [00:35] Im sure it did better than my desktop would [00:36] bastid_raZor, would devebe create an iso from a video I create, say in kino, so that I can use brasero to burn it? [00:36] Should I install ununtu live or netinstall? What is the difference? [00:36] mMezquitale: yes it should. just provide the video file and it does the rest. [00:37] truepurple: the live cd you can see how its going to work with your hardware [00:37] bastid_raZor, thanks! I'm still creating the video, now I know what I need to do to create the iso [00:37] Open arina on ubuntu is slow and flakey, anyone know a fix? [00:38] So how is that different from net install? [00:39] truepurple: the live cd lets you boot and run the oss off the cd, without touching your harddrive [00:39] you can literally run the os without installign it, to see how well it would work on your pc [00:39] net install means you install it... [00:39] What is the difference between running without installing, and the regular installing? [00:40] Especially, how would it be different on a bootable flash drive? [00:40] flashdrivse are not reliable for running an os permanently [00:40] usb flashdrives that is [00:41] Isnt that essentialyl what a SSD is? XD [00:41] acicula, probably not; but if they're mounted read-only they are [00:41] Why is that aciculu? [00:41] essentially* XD [00:41] usb flash drives = cheap crappy flash, only limited writes [00:41] SSD flash, big hunking expensive flash capable of doing lots of write cycles [00:41] SSDs "should" be designed with better write algorithms. Intel SSDs certainly are [00:41] flash is not a good palce to run any sort of paging or large amount of temp files on [00:41] You mean they are slow? [00:41] hence 16GB usb stick cheap, 16GB ssd expensive [00:41] acicula: still limited, but less limited [00:41] no truepurple [00:41] truepurple: the net install is a minimal install then you have to get the rest from synaptic [00:42] HE means parts can start breaking down and stop being able to write new data after being overwritten a certain number of times [00:42] Cyber_Akuma_2 ^^ [00:42] OH, they have a limit life span? I thought they were solid state [00:42] * Cyber_Akuma_2 speaks layman [00:42] XD [00:42] Usb flash drives are not designed to take the brutal wear and tear that an ssd can take [00:42] ow ow ow [00:42] that one hurt even me [00:43] Solid State means electronic memory (not magnetic like a normal harddrive or optical like a cdrom, but a chip) that can keep it's data even after you no longer supply it with power [00:43] RAM is the exact opposite of this, everything in ram is erased the second you stop supplying it with power (like turn off the pc) [00:44] Solid state also means no moving parts right? [00:44] correct [00:44] truepurple: not 'also' [00:44] truepurple: limited lifespan is relative, i cant make it more clear then i already wrote, flash has a (fixed sorta) times you can write to it. if you dont write to it ti will remain there untill the chip breaks [00:44] Which I would think would mean minimal wear and tear verses a HDD which has big disks spinning at high speed [00:44] Because of this they are immune to wear and tear from mechanical parts, make no noise, produce less heat, and use less power [00:44] not unless you throw it accross the room [00:44] But they still technically have less rewrites than a normal hdd [00:44] But the high end models have something insane like 100,000 [00:45] chances are the drive will become obselete before you ever hit that limit [00:45] Cyber_Akuma_2: wrong, flash has to erase more then a normal hdd [00:45] flash is rather unique in that it's solid state but wears [00:45] Cyber_Akuma_2: as you write per small block, but can only erase per say 20 blocks at a time [00:45] And although technically a mechanical hdd can rewrite more, its more likely to break down from mechnical failure before a sdd hits its rewrite lmit [00:45] Why does flash have to erase more? [00:45] acicula: ah, i see [00:45] its the way the memory works [00:46] .... i'll let acicula answer that one, its too complicated XD [00:46] !OT, this isn't helping anyone [00:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:46] Do you know what causes the wear? [00:46] hello people!!! [00:46] even MORE complicated :P [00:46] In a nutshell? [00:46] truepurple: as an electrotechnical dude, preferably one with a bsc/msc, but err electromicgration? [00:46] ones and zeros [00:46] *ask [00:46] err, in a nutshell... all the electrons moving across the circuitry eventually cause it to fail [00:46] I guess [00:47] Hmm, is this sdd a form of flash? [00:47] it IS flash [00:47] just higher quality than a flashdrive === eduardo_ is now known as magdato [00:47] i guess the basic idea to remember is that even chips or electrical components that do not move suffer from some degradation [00:47] Its used toe differentiate it from a hdd, which is magnetic and optical based [00:48] err [00:48] one comment , quantum computing [00:48] magnetic and MECHANICAL [00:48] not optical [00:48] Computers are slowly and slowly having less and less moving parts [00:48] Though fans are a big one [00:48] Cyber_Akuma_2, tere were magneto-optical frives made as well :) [00:48] yeah I know [00:49] but I never hard of a harddeive that was MO [00:49] Ok, if I were to use a sdd drive, or a basic drive, just for a little while, which would you use, netinstall or live? [00:49] Cyber_Akuma_2, yup [00:49] fyi [00:49] live would not tough the drive at all [00:49] regardless of what it is [00:49] you could even use lvie without ANY hdd in the computer [00:49] because it runs off the cd [00:49] WHat is MO? [00:49] Magneto-Optical [00:49] This would run off the flash drive [00:49] A disk that is a mix of magnetic and optical [00:49] don't worry about it [00:50] So reading doesnt wear it much, just writting does? [00:50] Its unlikely you will ever run into one [00:50] Hi, when I'm watching a DVD in VLC or Movie Player, I hear the background but not the voices. This is the case with multiple dvds. Do I have a misconfiguration problem? [00:50] truepurple, yea, they were sort of popular before CD-R became cheap(er) [00:50] hey i setup postfix right, pop3 and imap are ok, and squirrelmail is installed correctly. i created a user doing useradd or adduser and giving it a password and adding it to postfix/virtual and then ran postmap. when i try logging in using th eusername and password in squirrelmail, it says that user maybe unknown or password is wrong. HELP PLEASE [00:50] *configuration issue [00:50] Is it sad that I learned about MO disks from Resident EVil? XD [00:50] First time I heard about them [00:50] lfaraone: choose a different audio channel [00:50] ! [00:50] CD-RW you mean, since CD-r doesnt compare. [00:51] acicula: there aren't any other audio channels to choose from [00:51] jograd: do any other users work for squirrelmail? [00:51] acicula: let me rephrase, chancing the audio track does not cause any change. [00:51] lfaraone: using some 5/7.1 sound set that is hooked up wrong? [00:51] truepurple, yes, you are correct sir! [00:51] 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. [00:51] acicula: possibly, but music etc works fine. [00:51] lfaraone: sounds like its playing the wrong audio track from the dvd though [00:52] <- in desperated need for help with error : E: No se pudo abrir el fichero de bloqueo '/var/lib/dpkg/lock' - open (13 Permiso denegado) [00:52] trying to install Flumotion using : apt-get update && apt-get install flumotion [00:52] Khul: sudo [00:52] Khul: you're probably not root === jeffrey_ is now known as T|-|e_SLiDeR [00:52] A flash drive would still have more rewrites in it the a rewrite disk, right? [00:52] tabirs away : yes ill be using squirrelmail so all users will use it [00:52] I've been using the 64-bit distros of Ubuntu for some time now but I just procured a netbook and I'll be eradicating XP in lieu of Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Are there any known bug issues with UNR I should know of? [00:52] truepurple: a cd-rw? [00:52] yes [00:52] !releasenotes | Fizix [00:52] Fizix: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [00:52] truepurple, I would hope so! [00:52] jograd: not the question. the question was "does it work for _anyone_ right now" [00:52] <- please let me know if any1 is familiar with installing Flumotion !! Thanks!! [00:53] truepurple: dunno tbh, id guess a flash will work better then an cd-rw [00:53] jograd: as in, is it just the new user that doesn't work, or is it rather that no one can use it right now? [00:53] Thank you. [00:53] Khul: no, i don't know flumotion, but your question is properly generic. [00:53] Is live a slower way for the program to run then netinstall? [00:53] truepurple: also afaik you can only change an rw by wiping the entire disk [00:53] truepurple:no [00:53] truepurple, Most flash drives these days hold more too. [00:53] Khul: when you attempt the install, you need to be root, or use sudo [00:54] truepurple: netinstall is what it sais, boot small stuff => install os => run os, live cd is just that, boots straight into the os [00:54] So the difference is, netinstall loads drivers too, while live doesn't? [00:54] no, they both support the same stuff [00:55] I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and all videos are blue, how to fix it? [00:55] yabuk, what player are you using? [00:55] netinstall can only install, livecd can run a live version or install [00:55] Gah, I still don't understand the difference between the two [00:55] truepurple: net install i minimal and live is full [00:55] tabris away: as in i did restart postmap and the like. the pop3 and smtp sending and recieving works because when i send a message to my user in the server from live.com i get it and the user in my server has mailboxes BUT when i try logging in squirrelmail using the password and username of the user in the server, it says unknown user or incorrect password [00:55] truepurple: also the live can bring up the GUI installer faster. [00:55] truepurple: the netinstaller requires more work to get to the gui. [00:55] truepurple: assuming you care. [00:56] tabris|away: yes. i install using : sudo apt-get update && apt-get install flumotion [00:56] So what is it that live skips? [00:56] yabuk, try VLC, it works perfectly [00:56] Does Ubuntu Netbook Remix = Ubuntu Moblin Remix ? [00:56] tabris|away: but i still egt the error in the final step [00:56] Khul: the sudo must be in front of each command [00:56] acovrig: all players plays all videos blue [00:56] truepurple: downloading [00:56] downloading what? [00:56] truepurple: live doesnt skip nothing [00:56] Khul: '&&' is like ';' [00:56] yabuk, did you try vlc? [00:56] everything it needs to run [00:56] yep [00:56] Then how can it be any faster? [00:56] tabris|away: how do you think i should be write the command? [00:56] yabuk, did you go through all the settings? [00:57] its not [00:57] jograd: check that your squirrelmail is setup to use the correct pop3 server. iirc, the auth is all handled through imap/pop3 [00:57] truepurple: what are you trying to accomplish [00:57] jograd: besides, isn't squirrelmail an impap client, not pop3? [00:57] truepurple: download one or the other i dont care at this point [00:57] If live is so much faster, and does everything netinstall does, why use netinstall?? [00:57] tabris|away: should i type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flumotion ? [00:57] Khul: yes. [00:57] truepurple: smaller CD. [00:58] tabris|away: thanks pal! now ive learned 1 more thing! [00:58] hi all! Is there a way to create a compressed file system in a file and mount that file in ubuntu? [00:58] tabris away: hey tabris how do you create an imap user then? [00:58] truepurple: i use netinstall because i dont have to burn a cd that way as basicly all you need is a kernel and an initrd [00:58] Oh, so live takes up more space? [00:58] jograd: not a question of 'imap user' but rather making sure you have an 'imap server' installed. [00:58] I have a VIDEO_TS folder complete with files copied from a DVD. To burn it to another DVD do I just add the entire folder to Brasero's Create Video DVD window? [00:58] truepurple: on the CD, yes. [00:58] truepurple: consider how big of a file you'll need to download and burn. [00:58] Then netinstall takes on the hdd? [00:58] acovrig: since I upgraded 9.04 --> 9.10, I've this trouble [00:58] tabris away: imap port 143 working used by squirrelmail as said in configuration === gab__ is now known as Gab__ [00:59] OMG [00:59] tabris away: telnet localhost 143 is OK [00:59] how many CPUS/cores can ubuntu server amd64 kernel support ?

[00:59] yabuk, sorry, idk - just my pennie's worth [00:59] sobersabre: im not sure there's a limit, as long as your are not going over 50+ cores? [01:00] not that that is a limit [01:00] truepurple: on debian, the installer requires 6 CDs (same for RedHat). netinst takes ~300MB and one CD on Debian. [01:00] the [01:00] or it takes one dvdrw [01:00] yikes, the last time >10 yrs ago, redhat was on one! [01:01] I'm havng a weird nfs problem, I can mount shares from other clients and run showmount -e server but I can't do either on the server [01:01] sobersabre: there is no artificial core limit like with windows in any case, dunno what the maximum core count is though [01:01] 10 years ago suse was 7 cd's :) [01:01] I [01:01] live requires 6 cd's worth of space? i thought I was told that it boot from only 1 disk [01:01] he he [01:01] I'm an OpenBSD user usually so I'm unsure of why [01:01] truepurple: are you gonna keep misreading what ppl say repeatedly? [01:01] You got to keep swapping disks to boot with live with CD-Rs?

[01:02] truepurple: i just meant to say that the netinst disc is SMALL. fits on a mini-cd i think. [01:02] (not on a business card anymore, but...) [01:03] tabris|away: well you could, you still only need the vmlinuz and initrd [01:03] just add grub [01:03] ok truepurple there is a ubuntu live that is around 699 mb and the netinstall is about 300 mb [01:03] Hi How can i get my SD slot to work ? | lenovo Y530 [01:04] grep [01:04] ron-l-j: ??

[01:21] ron-l-j, I understand Moblin was an OS once owned by Intel now owned by the Linux Foundation by overseen by some select Intel employees, but according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Netbook_Remix | is UNR just an Ubuntu build from Moblin's modified linux kernel? [01:21] First it was wireless, and now it won't take anything [01:21] I have installed a couple of kde applications onto my gnome based ubuntu and all of the combo boxes are black on black. How can I configure this? === theo is now known as theoo [01:21] Would this mostly sum up all the differences between netinstall and live, that live is faster and writes less to the drive, where netinstall is smaller so takes up less space? [01:22] Fizix yes tehy took the kernel and added the clutter desktop and program packages and a gnome desktop [01:22] truepurple: just the installation media size is smaller, both install the same operating system with the same software [01:22] the code has obviously not changed: there was no internet connection for canonical to release a faulty patch. The only thing that could have caused this was code that was intentionally made to become defective at a certain date and time.

But I'm seeing "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" and "Ubuntu Moblin Remix" pop up seperately and I can't discern for the two if UNR uses Moblin's modified linux kernel too.

[01:25] CHILLio what kind of hardware do you have and whay ubuntu are you running ? [01:25] btw Ubuntu is sexy! [01:25] Ok, so the Moblin Remix has the Moblin UI instead of Ubuntu's GDE? Gotcha.

[01:50] Thats the instillation, not how they run differently [01:51] Eh, I guess I will just ask on the forum [01:51] sebsebseb, i keep my home directory in /home/ not /home/user/ because I am always trying out different distros [01:51] Thanks anyway for the effort [01:51] i install 7.10 oem then in the middle upgraded to 8.04lts before rebooting now what is the default id password for ubuntu me 8.04lts?

[01:52] zombie try media and it will mount like a file [01:52] truepurple, what are you trying to accomplish?? just saying "these people can't help" doesn't solve problems [01:52] Out_Cold: So you recently put Ubuntu 9.10 on there? and before that you were running?

I need to write Chinese (Simplified) in URxvt. Thanks [02:09] you can use a debugger set with breakpoints to locate it but it may take hours [02:09] ron-l-j: it just sounded like a very misleading comment. a segmentation fault indicates that the program is trying to access memory that doesn't belong to it. [02:09] I have done it in C and C++ [02:09] in order to get the new firefox do I have to install awebbrowser package or is there a real firefox package to install? [02:09] daysaver, which language??

[02:11] i recently did a fresh install of 9.10 and the only major bug ive come across is that there seems to be a problem with the sdl libraries, playing audio is just fine, but when i play a game, the audio will be fine for a while, then it will turn to static, i tried replacing libsdl-*-alsa with libsdl-*-all and later with libsdl-*-pulse and the problem continues [02:11] nickkontos: fix what? [02:11] try Python :D [02:11] hello, I need someones .Xdefaults please. I need to write Chinese (Simplified) in URxvt. Thanks [02:11] firefox and amsn [02:11] well daysaver there is almost every programming language with a channel here.. just gotta find the right names [02:11] I want to install linux next to my already installed windows 7. though windows is already using 4(!!) partitions. and all of them seems to be used by the system. does anyone know if any of those partitions is unneccesary. and how will the system work if the EFI partition is removed? (it contains the bootloader according to wiki) [02:11] should I reinstall? [02:11] thanks!!! really helpful [02:11] i even tried modifying the /etc/openal/alsoftrc file to have openal use alsa and later pulse as the backend, still the problem continues [02:11] in order to get the new firefox do I have to install awebbrowser package or is there a real firefox package to install? [02:11] sakuramboo, not that i "really" recommend it - but I had the same problems with games in 9.10 as well - removed pulse and games run fine now [02:12] mackie: sure. just don't get discouraged with linux ;) [02:12] i'm used to working in the console for configuring (usually use archlinux), so does anyone have a link to a page with info on useful admin-related programs, since i have no clue where they are (and in some cases what they're called) on ubuntu? :) [02:12] c3l, there is a trick... one of those partitions should be a extended partition... so shrink one of the parts inside the extended [02:12] nickontos yes go to synaptic and completly remove firefox then install and make sure you go to adobe and install the flashplayer 8.04+ .deb [02:12] ZykoticK9: i really dont want to go to that extent, might there be a better solution? [02:12] ZykoticK9, what did you do to replace it? [02:12] donm: it's tough when you have a lot of people who have a chip on their shoulder about things and are less than helpful. [02:12] duckinator: apt-get, vim ? [02:12] nickkontos: ok, what is happening exactly? you're getting a segmentation fault, but when does it usually happen? randomly? [02:12] while I am here, I am running gnewsense from a Virtual machine does anyone know how to access files in windows [02:13] I am out be back later :D [02:13] acicula: nah, i mean for adjusting video settings, audio settings, network settings, stuff like that [02:13] greezmunkey, this is what i did http://paste.ubuntu.com/329911/ [02:13] "The most important tip I can offer to new users is to learn the command line. if you are limited to the GUIs, you see the system through a glass,darkly" Richard Stallman [02:13] daysaver: Ubuntu is your host?

[02:14] nickkontos: you can also try kmess [02:14] daysaver: in virtualization, you have a "host" and "guest" OS. what are the host and guest OSes? [02:14] ZykoticK9, wow thanks!

[02:16] the problem is, I need flash, and chromium is crashing also...

I have an ubuntu laptop that I want to use to connect to my home ubuntu desktop and I also have a windows XP work machine that I want to use to connect to my home ubuntu desktop. I originally tried TightVNC but I was having polling issues with the video. FreeNX or UltraVNC or RealVNC? [02:18] i also increased the resample quality to src-sinc-best-quality and also tried oss as the backend and nothing worked [02:18] ZykoticK9, also happened to me with Intel HD Audio, but commenting out that line still fixed it [02:18] nickkontos: your browsers are probably crashing because of flash. you should try reinstalling flash. [02:18] Out_Cold, cant, its a netbook =) [02:18] TheCheeze, commenting out what line? [02:18] I'm having a problem mounting an encfs filesystem on 8.10 - it was created on another machine [02:18] anyone know? [02:18] mackie: not off the top of my head. but "in the beginning was the command line" talks about it a bit. Acually, if you haven't read that, you might like it. [02:19] oh, i thought you were telling him to comment out the last line in the conf file. i didnt scroll up to read his problem [02:19] ok ill check it out [02:19] !vnc > gsl0utah [02:19] gsl0utah, please see my private message [02:19] i just beat super mario bros wii? [02:19] oh [02:19] no i guess not [02:19] oh, i thought you were telling him to comment out the last line in the conf file. i didnt scroll up to read his problem <-- ZykoticK9 [02:20] c3l, this is just theory, but you could get a usb external drive, back up your largest partition, make an extended partition, put 2 new partitions in it, replace the windoze, then make a new linux partition [02:20] TheCheeze, are you saying you have PulseAudio working properly with games with IntelHDA? if so - how? what conf file? [02:21] nvidia HDA, but same problems [02:21] c3l, also one of those partitions may be useless... might want to look into it [02:21] do anybody know how to expand the diskspace of a wubi-installation? [02:21] and i switched my sound drivers to ALSA because i couldnt get pulse to work right for me very well ZykoticK9 [02:21] i have a USB stick that boots a bunch of linux distros and i'm trying to add ubuntu. i coped over the iso along with the vmlinuz and initrd.lz, and pointed syslinux at the latter. when it boots it tries to mount /dev/sda, rather than /dev/sda1, and fails to find the iso [02:21] any ideas how to fix this? [02:21] bulletproof: no and also in the long run real partitions would be better, and there's a way to convert a wubi install into a real partition [02:22] Out_Cold, yes, i strongly believe that one of them is really uselsess, though i dont know which one. id hope tahat someone knew ;) [02:22] reinstalling amsn didn't fix the problem... [02:22] c3l, try joining a windows 7 chat? or explore the drives [02:22] oh, lets hear? [02:22] nickkontos: re installing a program, won't do much good [02:22] nickkontos: you need to make sure the program user data, is gone as well [02:22] nickkontos: otherwise it will just use the same settings as before [02:22] TheCheeze: did you do that in /etc/openal/alsoftrc ? [02:23] c3l, i think that the last time i seen that setup one of the parts was a secondary "media" OS [02:23] bulletproof, if you're interested in converting Wubi to actual install see lvmpvm at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [02:23] acicula: are you there ? [02:23] nickkontos: when I say gone I mean deleted from home, or moved some where else inside home, just not in the main folder, hidden .folders yep [02:23] ok great new info, thanks! [02:23] ok, i'll try this... [02:23] mingdao: so what should i do? [02:23] Out_Cold, do you know any win7 chat? [02:24] I am trying to understand: If I'm say using sun's amd64 based system, it can reach upto 64 cores. and how well would it work comparing to solaris ? [02:24] any ideas ? [02:24] c3l, #windows_7 [02:24] nickkontos: well moving to the trash can would also count as moving of course [02:24] k=) [02:25] Out_Cold: I am not sure if that channel exists [02:25] c3l: ^^^^ [02:25] there's #windows [02:25] !windows | c3l Out_Cold [02:25] c3l Out_Cold: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [02:25] i got it off of the alis search [02:25] sakuramboo, no, i went into the menu editor and unhid system - prefferences - multimedia devices [02:25] sebsebseb, oh :D [02:25] sakuramboo, multimedia systems selector* [02:25] kmc: it has two of these ## [02:26] kmc: it has two # [02:26] ok, when i renamed /home/*user*/.amsn i got to the amsn login screen, and then when i put my email and password it crushes right after i press conect [02:26] sebsebseb, do /msg alis list *windows_7* [02:26] i mean, imidiately [02:26] nickkontos: re nameing would also work I guess instead of moving [02:26] nickkontos: I think I have been told before that AMSN is buggy [02:27] and telepathy is lacking also IMO [02:27] well, i'm using it 3 months now [02:27] pidgin ftw [02:27] didn;t have a problem [02:27] Out_Cold: Could do, but I am not that interested in Vista version 2 [02:27] was not interested in the first one either lol [02:27] Out_Cold: and haven't used a final release yet [02:28] TheCheeze: yep Pidgin :) [02:30] hey guys, how can I remove scrollkeeper? it hogs up my CPU and many others on the net? it seems to be of not to much use for people that get bugged by this system [02:30] or is there a replacement? [02:30] are you talking about your chat client? [02:31] Out_Cold: who? [02:31] ries [02:31] Out_Cold: Hmm... no about the daemon that runs on the background [02:31] Good evening everyone. Is there a way of installing the 32bit version of python2.6 in Karmic 64bit? I need it for some applications that I run. The 64version doesn't work. [02:31] and by work I mean with those applications. [02:32] danielsevigny, check out getlibs program (download from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb) it allows you to install 32bit libs on 64bit systems. good luck. [02:33] Out_Cold: I am talking about this problem : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596182 [02:33] danielsevigny, ummm, i guess python really isn't a lib though - so not sure that will help... [02:33] i am brand new to linux. what is a good way to get started? [02:34] myfirstlinux_, you're doing it :) [02:34] myfirstlinux_, i'd start by trying to figure out Linux ways of doing everything you've done with other OSs - web, games, graphics, etc, etc, etc [02:35] !new | myfirstlinux_ [02:35] myfirstlinux_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [02:35] myfirstlinux_: bumble around till you run into something interesting then go on from there. [02:35] start with a 32 bit installation. Play around for a bit. Realize that the desktop environment is the easy way of doing things. Then do it it the hard core way, open up the command line and start using the man pages. [02:35] myfirstlinux_, what do you want to change first? once you start with that, you'll start learning how to configure your system.. [02:35] before you know i you'll know as much as I do. Which isn't a lot but it's more than a complete beginner... lol [02:35] is there a way to adjust when ubuntu starts using swap? my hd is way too slow for this thing to be using 50MB swap :P [02:35] myfirstlinux_: Ubuntu Pocket Guide you will want that [02:35] TBH, do what you like, and don't feel compelled to do anything because someone says to [02:36] k [02:36] thanks everyone [02:36] duckinator, hiw big is the HD? [02:36] i love playing movies [02:36] but it never works [02:36] it is always sped up so fast [02:36] !enter > myfirstlinux_ [02:36] myfirstlinux_, please see my private message [02:36] i have a 64 bit prcessor [02:36] codecs? [02:37] Out_Cold: it's a 160GB hd, but it's a horrible piece of crap. if i format it it stops spinning until i do a full powercycle (nothing is even adjusted on the disk), so i had to use wubi :( [02:37] bruce89: oh just noticed your in here as well [02:38] ack... well you can shut off swap or make it a file on something else [02:38] myfirstlinux_: your on Ubuntu 9.10? [02:38] yes [02:38] Out_Cold: only hd in it, otherwise it wouldn't be installed on this drive :P [02:38] myfirstlinux_: ok browse the software centre, install things you want to try, you can then also after woulds do Synaptic and give that a good browse, that's more advanced than the software centre [02:38] duckinator, how much ram? [02:39] duckinator, there's a sysctl named vm.swappiness [02:39] thanks. I will try. Adobe does not work very well in LInux huh? [02:39] 0 is least swap-happy, 100 is most swap-happy [02:39] Any other ideas for installing the 32 bit python2.6 alongside the 64bit version so that the application can use the one it needs? [02:39] myfirstlinux_: which Adobe programs? [02:39] you can set it with sysctl or /proc/sys [02:39] Out_Cold: 786MB... ubuntu is seeing 743MB, assuming the rest is for graphics (for no reason, the graphics card has 512MB RAM ><) but it's only using 531MB of it [02:40] myfirstlinux_: Flash can be done natively, and that's about it, when it comes to Adobe on Desktop Linux. Then other programs you can get working as well. [02:40] hi, Midi won't play in browser despite workaround at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2009-July/005957.html, any ideas? [02:40] technically acroread too, but evince is fine [02:41] should my swap be ahead of /boot or after? [02:41] bruce89: yeah that, and I was thinking Adobe Air? [02:42] Can someone help me with a startup error running Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from 9.04? When I went to start the PC, it said "Checking file system" got up to 70% and just stayed for over an hour. I can't get it to run. [02:43] AceKing: Many people got issues after upgrading from 9.04. Also Ext3 9.04 upgrades won't become Ext4 on upgrade, and you won't get Grub 2 on upgrade [02:44] Hi, everybody. I just upgraded to jaunty and I can't seem to find the linux-restricted-modules package for the kernel I'm running (2.6.31-15-generic) [02:44] any hints? [02:44] So I setup a vpn connection (not using network manager) and now I have a ppp0 interface with an ipadress, I don't think Iuse it [02:44] shaggyoaf: uhmm you mean you upgraded to Karmic? [02:44] I'd also settle for being told about a utility to un-do the X-org config changes that happened when I selected the restricted driver [02:44] sebsebseb, I understand that, that's why I mentioned that I upgraded. Do you know of anything I can do to boot in? [02:44] sebsebseb: I don't think so [02:44] AceKing: no and I would suggest doing a clean install of 9.10, or 9.04, or another distro if you want [02:44] I still have my wireless cards ipaddress. [02:45] shaggyoaf: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak [02:45] shaggyoaf: well 9.04 does not have that kernel number [02:45] shaggyoaf: 9.04/jauntey has 2.6.28 something [02:45] shaggyoaf: Ubuntu has no Xorg.conf by default so removing it ( or in this case just moving it ) gets you back to defaults [02:46] anyone know about my usb boot problem? [02:46] shaggyoaf: you can delete your xorg.conf file. [02:46] sebsebseb, There are a lot of files I need on there.. Would I be able to get the files if I run from Live CD? [02:46] sebsebseb: huh, well that could explain some things. I wonder how the kernel package got installed? [02:46] sebsebseb: my /etc/apt/sources.list file definitely says jaunty [02:47] sebsebseb:... er, wait... It says karmic [02:47] AceKing: putting on another distro, that's what I did instead of keeping 9.10 for ages on here, or going back to 9.04. or instead of keeping 9.10 untill I decided to do a development version of 10.04. 10.04 should be good, it's the next LTS after all :) [02:47] shaggyoaf: you upgraded from jauntey to karmic or? [02:47] shaggyoaf: 9.04 to 9.10? [02:47] guys... i want to RSYNC to a SAMBA directory, what should i do? [02:47] sebsebseb: No, I was running feisty before the upgrade [02:47] shaggyoaf: hmm odd [02:48] brmassa: doesn't that work? [02:48] shaggyoaf: how exactly did you upgrade? [02:48] AceKing: yes if you run the Live CD, you will have access to the partition [02:48] sebsebseb: by clicking the "why yes, I'd like to upgrade" button in KDE's package updater [02:48] AceKing: well I guess as long as the partition is ok [02:48] sebsebseb, Thank you.. I'm doing that now [02:48] AceKing: np [02:48] shaggyoaf: oh Kubuntu as well [02:49] shaggyoaf: well 7.04 can't be upgraded directly to 9.10 [02:49] ok guys :) seems that i didn't search well before i asked your help here, i just had to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and remove "wins" - which i added for some networking two days ago... [02:49] ugh why do you people insist on including IcedTea? OpenJDK _sucks_ [02:49] odinsbane: well... rsync doesnt recognize the smb://mypc protocol [02:49] thanks anyways :) [02:49] nickkontos: ok well at least you figured it out :) [02:49] brmassa: can you mount a samba volume, something like smbmount ? [02:49] good morning/evening folks. looking to remove all the panels off of 9.1. [02:50] mahngiel: What why? [02:50] hey guys [02:50] sebsebseb: replace it with a dock [02:50] mahngiel: you need the panels really to open programs up and that [02:50] odinsbane: ive never tried it. hehe sound obvious ah? well... let me try [02:50] mahngiel: Cairo dock is the best dock or so they say [02:50] sebsebseb: not if i use my desktop and a dock my friend [02:50] sebsebseb: i am using cairo dock. and i don't need a panel AND a dock :) [02:51] Hey, I might have messed up with a couple things in Karmic...I'm positive Rythmbox used to play m4p and m4a music files, but I tried Banshee, then Amarok, and now none of these players can play anything else but mp3s [02:51] brmassa: If you are mounting it with nautilus you can access it via ~/.gvfs [02:51] mahngiel: and panels are easy to remove, just right click and delete panel [02:51] I think I'm missing a plugin...PS: I hate Amarok big time [02:51] sebsebseb: that works until you have one left, then you cannot [02:51] mahngiel: also I remember that Mac OS X Tiger has it's dock at the bottom, but also a panel/bar at the top [02:51] i tried mercury... it's not so nice... it has very small text and I can't find support for msn plus contact colors (whick all windows users use :@ ) [02:52] nickkontos: yeah it's ok, but [02:52] sebsebseb: i'm not interested in multiple panels / docks. I just want one [02:52] sebsebseb, Ok, sorry about dropping out, I found an Xorg config that would work and bring me up at a reasonable resolution [02:52] nickkontos: can be a bit buggy or whatever you want to say [02:52] Any ideas about getting me the restricted drivers package for my karmic install? [02:52] So basically, I just need a link or repo to a plugin for m4a and m4p that will work with either Rythmbox or Banshee [02:53] nickkontos: try kmess it's nice, there's also emescene or MSN [02:53] !info emescene [02:53] Package emescene does not exist in karmic [02:53] shaggyoaf, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:53] nickkontos: uhmm I guess that's wrong uhmm I'll find out [02:53] I've pasted part of my mozplugger config at http://www.pastebin.org/58011 [02:53] Fizix, Ah, that seems to be a huge list-o-packages, thanks :) [02:53] anybody have a work around for removing the last panel in karmic? [02:53] nickkontos: you can use Empathy or Pidgin for MSN [02:53] NP [02:53] wow, complete with wgets [02:53] is there any reason not to put swap in an extended partition and expect Hibernate to work? [02:54] !resetpanel | mahngiel [02:54] mahngiel: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [02:54] nickkontos: emesene [02:54] Can anyone find an issue? [02:54] KenBW2, I personally wouldn't try it. Just out of curiosity, what's the motive behind this? [02:54] jonbergs: and for making it not pop back up on restart? [02:54] well, I need something that supports colored contacts, otherwise I have to read very carefully to understand which of my friend are online... [02:54] nickkontos: that's the correct spelling [02:54] Fizix: i have >4 partitions [02:54] So I've looked over the internet for this plugin to play m4p and m4a in Rythmbox and Banshee, but couldn't find anything. No download, no repo, no nada. Anyone know what package/plugin I need? [02:55] nickkontos: well not sure about the latest version of Live Messenger, but you can get a slightly older version working quite well in Wine, I have never done it myself though [02:55] KenBW2: Swap on an extended partition should work fine wrt hibernation [02:55] mahngiel: yes, it should be fixed [02:55] Jordan_U: should or does? [02:55] KenBW2, if I were you, I'd put swap in the physical partition, and all else in a logical partition, but that's just me. [02:55] odinsbane: its not the proper place to write it but... i use Kubuntu, so all samba servers are listed on "smb://mypc" but i cannot find the "//mypc" or equivalent... [02:55] nickkontos: also with enough RAM, you can run a Windows virtual machine [02:55] jonbergs: from what i understand from the bot, i'm 'resetting' the panels. i want to delete all of them [02:56] Fizix: as a precaution or because of a reason? [02:56] KenBW2: I see know reason why it shouldn't but I haven't done it myself ( and hibernation could fail for many other reasons ) [02:56] mahngiel: what do you really want? no panels at all? [02:56] KenBW2, because of my own psychosis! you should be fine though listening to the others on here. [02:56] jonbergs: indeed senior. i only want to use my dock and desktop icons [02:56] Fizix, Jordan_U: thanks [02:57] well, i've tried running an old version with wine but it only supports the very old one which asks you to download and install the newer version otherwise it doesn't connect... [02:57] mahngiel: what happens if you just delete all panels? [02:58] however, by default - either by gnome design, or a conspiracy - you cannot delete the last panel. it's faded out of the menu selection [02:58] nickkontos: well Trillian under Wine or something you could do that [02:58] and no, i do not want to 'auto-hide' it. i just want it to go away [02:58] can anybody describe a simple way to alter my bootup splash? [02:58] I have made no modifications to Terminal Server Client so why are the non-RDP protocols grayed out? I'd rather just use one client for VNC, SSH & RDP rather than flipping between 'Terminal Server Client' and 'Remote Desktop Viewer.' [02:59] knuck887: alter in what way? and which Ubuntu version? [03:00] 9.10 and like this, i'll provide a link in a sec [03:00] anyways, i'll stick with amsn once I solved my problem and see what happens :p [03:00] mahngiel: afaik, if you use aero-dock plugin you can configure it to prevent panels from showing up [03:00] now I have to fix firefox === jesus is now known as Guest32118 [03:01] !dock [03:01] jonbergs: did you research this just now? and do you have a link? [03:02] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Usplash+Theme+-+Fingerprint?content=50468 [03:02] this is what i'd like to make my splash screen look like [03:02] mahngiel: nope, but i will try to help what issues behind this [03:03] the readme file in the dl tell me to : 2- You also need a booting screen resolution of 1024x768. To set it, please open your grub configuration file [03:03] does anyone know when will the new version of flash that doesn't eat so much cpu when playing videos is comming out? [03:03] i buy a phillips vibe mp3 player- its say for me to insert cd and follow instruction-can i have ubuntu to autorun the cd when inserted? i have wine installed [03:03] How to uninstall totem? i have 4 related packages - libtotem-plparser12, totem-common, totem-gstreamer, totem-plugins. i still want to use mplayer though. [03:03] nickkontos: Flash in Firefox in Ubuntu can = right issues [03:03] oh, speaking of splash screens. i have a chess piece icon for a user icon when i log in and out. how do i change this? [03:03] nickkontos: however if you try other browsers well :) [03:04] jonbergs: thanks, mate. fill me in on what you find === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:04] well, i didn't see any sifferences wih chromium [03:05] as far as flash is concerned... [03:05] nickkontos: try Epiphany and Galeon even [03:05] nickkontos: Flash has always worked well in those for me, when Firefox in Ubuntu messed up for Flash [03:05] nickkontos: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser by the way or you will end up with some game [03:06] nickkontos: or doing sudo apt-get install epiphany [03:06] if not or above [03:07] anybody know about altering the grub configuration file to make the splash resolution higher [03:07] wow, so many dependencies... [03:09] so yeah, kinda solved it, at least for m4a's...but now, m4p? I know there's apparently no way to play them on Banshee, but VLC does seem to play them just fine. Is there anything I can copy from VLC and use in Banshee? [03:10] nickkontos: Konqueror is a nice browser as well, it's a KDE app so if you haven't installed KDE stuff before it will want to put quite a lot of things on. By the way Konqueror uses KTHML as it's rendering engine, and Safari, Google Chrome, and Chromeium use Webkit which is based on KHTML. [03:10] ok, let's try this question: i want to create my own themes, the tutorials / education pages i've found talk about coding and what not... question is what program should i be using for this? [03:10] hey, tx for your help anyway... [03:10] nickkontos: Firefox etc is Gecko :) [03:11] mahngiel, heh - vi [03:11] is they a way to make a cd autorun in ubuntu [03:11] greezmunkey: vi? [03:12] is there a way to edit the Grub loader? [03:12] what to do? : A later version is available in a software channel You are strongly advised to install the version from the software channel, since it is usually better supported [03:12] nickkontos: later version of what?

[03:40] KaiForce: I know I am awesome, but I am so awesome I occasionaly forget what I did to earn the status... What did I do exactly? [03:40] greezmunkey : a /etc/init.d/ssh restart before retrying ? [03:40] UbuntNOOB: I had a similar problem and i'm not completely sure how I fixed it i'm afraid.. I just know I deleted the connection and went to connect to another network and it worked and kept working [03:40] Fandekasp, yes [03:40] zerq: I did that, kinda, and it still didn't work :( [03:40] UbuntNOOB in a moment of inspiration, you chose the nick UbuntNOOB. Truly inspiring. [03:40] So here's the issue. I'm running a 32bit program that requires the 32bit version of python. The 64bit version of Karmic ships with the 64bit version of python. Does anyone know how I can install the 32bit version without removing the 64bit version? I don't want to downgrade to 32bit because that will adversely affect the performance of the program. [03:41] KaiForce: Indeed. Thank you for noticing :) [03:41] danielsevigny: 64 isn't faster than 32 [; [03:41] Hi, I was trying to wipe out the partitions of a second hard drive that had had linux installed on it.... But I accidentally wiped out the swap partition on my main hard drive (dual boot, Ubuntu and Win XP). Now I can't boot from windows... it says hal.dll missing or corrupt... probably wiped out my boot.ini file? [03:41] * greezmunkey laughs at girlfriend complaining that *everything* is made in China... [03:41] greezmunkey : always in trouble [03:41] no it isn't. But it does limit RAM.

[03:42] greezmunkey : it don't arrive to connect [03:42] greezmunkey: tell her to quit complaining and go make you a sandwich ;P [03:42] oasisHome, are you sure you didn't whack your windows system partition? [03:42] Fandekasp, what happened? [03:42] gRaCiOsO: how is it now? [03:42] greezmunkey: No, one time I SWEAR I held something that said "Made in the USA". It broke after I put it back down... [03:43] gahaff [03:43] did you try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdebian-installer4 [03:43] greezmunkey : like every time, nothing happen ... it wait something . I'll have to shut the console and open another one [03:43] gRaCiOsO: did you try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdebian-installer4 [03:43] my Gilette oldschool safety razor is made in the USA.. circa 1950.. [03:43] well would it have allowed me to whack the win partition while I was running win? cuz I was running Win [03:43] and it's rock solid [03:43] gRaCiOsO: sudo os-prober [03:43] jongbergs, that for what? [03:44] Err... K, I will just give it another shot. [03:44] Fandekasp, I assume that you installed Openssh on the target computer, am I right? [03:44] Wish me luck [03:44] gRaCiOsO: sudo update-grub [03:44] my 1999 honda accord was made in Marysville and I've done nothing to maintain it except tires and oil. Rock solid. [03:44] Thanks for the help, and laughs I guess 0_o [03:44] greezmunkey : Perhaps it's a xhost problem ? how could I find my hostname, to add it in xhost ? [03:44] Ta Ta [03:44] Kai, also I still saw the Win partition after whacking the swap partition [03:44] P.S. You can steal my username if you'd like :P [03:44] *POOF* [03:44] jongbergs, trying [03:45] Fandekasp, you are makin this harder than it has to be I think. What distro is on the target box?

Thank you in advance. [04:29] box: not sure about mediabuntu package, but you can compile it from source, or just use lame for mp3 encoding [04:29] Billiard : the previous command is waiting and doesn't want to stop . And ron-l-j : if I open another terminal, it redirect me to the same shell (a shell utility, don't remember the name, who saves sessions :/) [04:29] switch263, did you try opengl mode in config.wtf [04:29] venger, yes [04:29] box sudo apt-get install gestreamer [04:29] its unusable in D3D mode, and crashes in openGL mode [04:29] webbb82, did terminal output show errors? [04:29] Gstreamer [04:29] throws errors into the console about 'invalid heap' [04:29] even as root ? [04:30] ron-l-j, couldn't find package gstreamer [04:30] ron-l-j : I have disabled root access, like advised [04:30] switch263, i dumped my ati card because of thos access violations and what not a while back... what binary version does the radeon package offer? === om26er_ is now known as om26er [04:30] venger, idk, let me see [04:30] ok what about control-Z [04:30] switch263, wasn't specific to wow though [04:30] a new card isnt really in the options for a while, heh [04:30] Billiard, i tried that, it was a mess. i couldn't get mplayer to install from repositories or anything, and all my gstreamer plugins were broken [04:30] to kill the run away terminal [04:31] switch263: when you do get a new card, id suggest nvidia if you want decent linux support [04:31] ron-l-j : nothing happen. I'm on mac, should I try cmd+Z ? [04:31] Hi, I'm having trouble with routing in ubuntu 8.04. I set up a static IP on my ethernet port, and left my wireless card to roam, but I cannot see my network printer unless I manually disable the wired network--it seems that the system doesn't realize that the ethernet interface isn't up, and it fails to route through the wireless interface. How can I change this behavior? [04:31] box sounds like you should look at your sources list [04:31] box i just use lame myself [04:31] yo_rmn: see what cant open what? LINUX PARTITIONS wht else did I ask for? [04:31] venger, it shows the 'latest' version in use. i just have a deprecated card :-/ [04:31] ok ext2fsd not working [04:31] Billiard, i'm trying to get this working for cinerella [04:32] switch263, glxinfo |grep -i rend [04:32] yo_rmn: dont get like that, maybe you were talking about files [04:32] switch263@ghost:~$ glxinfo |grep -i rend [04:32] direct rendering: Yes [04:32] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RV530 71C2) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL [04:32] venger, it says command not found i uninstalled firefox 3.5 in synaptic but i have the other firefox i downloaded from firefox web site [04:32] mesa :( [04:32] switch263: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:32] I can't get the "git-clone" command to work. I have done a sudo apt-get install git-core and yet still the command does not work. [04:32] can you get top open ? [04:32] yo_rmn: you try explore2fs ? [04:32] and use a kill -9 [04:32] what is the recommend way for making a backup [04:33] ron-l-j : don't know what is a "top" . How can I open it ? [04:33] Fandekasp: type top [04:33] switch263, why not downloaded the ati binary and do the manual install? [04:33] fig: you could use rsync [04:34] Billiard : Like I can't type anything because previous command is waiting, it will be difficult :( [04:34] venger, because it doesnt support my card [04:34] FIg you can make a mirror with parted [04:34] есть кто [04:34] Fandekasp: ctrl+alt+f1 do it there, or open another terminal tab or something [04:34] switch263, the legacy one would and wouldn't be mesa [04:34] i have an ati x1600 pro, it's unsupported as of the new version of X and latest ATI binary. really, really lame. [04:34] hrm. i couldnt find that one in ubuntu [04:34] switch263, maybe the legacy doesn't work with karmic xorg? [04:35] what is this mirror that you speek of? [04:35] i think thats the issue [04:35] русские есть [04:35] Billiard : via ssh, I can't do this. Anyways, I tried and nothing changed [04:35] fig: mirror is a backup of a filesystem [04:35] venger, i'll screw with it. thanks. [04:35] Fandekasp: make another ssh connection [04:35] switch263, sounds like you should go ahead an mail a letter to santa [04:36] does anyone know how i can get dual pane nautilus [04:36] venger, one of the reasons i use linux is because i hate buying new pc hardware. :-/ [04:36] Billiard it doesn't chage anything [04:36] so i'm extremely irritated that they dropped support for my card entirely. [04:36] alt F4 will kill the window [04:36] it it instableable upon another computer upon creation? [04:36] Fandekasp: does it even give you a prompt in your new ssh session ? [04:36] switch263, gaming doesn't care which os you run :) [04:37] i dont "game" per se, hah. [04:37] Billiard : like I said, when I do another ssh connection, I'm forwarded to same shell. and ron-l-j, alt f4 will kill my client terminal, not the serveur shell [04:37] i play wow on occasion, thats about it [04:37] Billiard : no because I see previous command always waiting. I'm really fucked [04:37] brb [04:38] processor : 7 [04:38] vendor_id : GenuineIntel [04:38] cpu family : 6 [04:38] model : 30 [04:38] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz [04:38] ron-l-j: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:38] Fandekasp: ssh has never done that to be before ever, you are just using bash ? [04:39] j [04:39] o_o [04:39] Billiard : before, when I typed ctrl+C, the command was stopped. problem doesn't come from ssh, because it's one time logged that my session manager redirect my connection to opened session [04:39] !ask [04:39] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:40] Fandekasp: can you open a 2nd session? [04:40] Fandekasp: at the same time [04:40] Billiard : no [04:40] Fandekasp: why not [04:40] control at delete log out [04:41] Fandekasp: what if you try to kill the process in the ssh command ssh host 'pkill -9 processname' [04:42] after installed etckeeper and bacula backup on jaunty amd64 , if i login alway appear screen at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/329452/ and if i push TAB key twice always mydd@ubuntu:~$ mount -o loo-bash: /usr/bin/awk: cannot execute binary file , anybody can help me for fix these problem ??

One time logged, I have my console manager (why don't I remember its name ?) which put saved session on console, so I retrieve my command waiting don't know what. [04:42] Fandekasp cannont open another terminal and use top to kill [04:42] Billiard : Oh it's possible ????

I know no terminal what do you have available [04:43] can you log out ? [04:44] I know you disabled root [04:45] ron-l-j, Billiard : How can I know the bugged process number to kill it ? Or could I try something like that : [04:45] ssh me@myserver "reboot" [04:45] and if you try to kill a root program you will get denied. Root is god and you disabled god [04:45] mp3 support is in ubuntu-restricted-extras, right? [04:45] Fandekasp: why not try ssh host 'pkill -9 process' ?

[05:07] jasonmchristos: I don't know what utf codes represent, but the numbers start at 1, so I think the xmodmap numerics are just 1 to x, in some order, and serve as representations of proper utf codes [05:07] What is the terminal command to search the package manager [05:07] hehe i like the new compiz cylinder :) [05:07] ron-l-j : with ssh , or ssh -Y , I can log in and out perfectly without problems.

I've installed Spynner lib, which required PyQt, and when I try some exemple script, it works fine, but I can't see result, because a window should open with the result.

[05:24] Also. #ubuntuhelp keeps forwarding me here, and I don't know why [05:25] thevor: this is the channel for help with ubuntu [05:25] thevor: you could check free -m [05:26] do the metacity compositor settings and compiz play nice? [05:26] ron-l-j lol . see this : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/153434/ . I need to start xserver, something like /etc/xserver start ? [05:26] my new ubuntu install is *incredibyl slow* to start an order of magnitude slower than my 900Mhz processor box on the same distro. ths machine should be much faster to boot. runs great when loaded. this is both getting to grub, and after grub loads, and when it says "Booting from drive" the backup version loads pretty well, once i get to the grub menu to choose. is there a way to audit whats... [05:26] ...taking time during the normal boot? say, like turn on some kindof logging? [05:26] damn cat is in the christmas tree [05:26] Fandekasp type startx [05:26] hahahahaha [05:27] @lstarnes total 3520, used 578 free 2942...But if I get 9.1 64bit will it run smoother ? [05:27] ron-l-j : ok I install xinit [05:27] how to use this? [05:27] thevor: performance would probably be about the same [05:27] Oh ok. [05:27] What ist he benefit of going to 64 then? [05:27] thevor: I've never used the 32-bit version [05:27] Im having a minor issue with 9.10 and the program GFCE Ultra NES emulator. Sound fails to work at all. If its enabled then the game freezes and wont play at all. If its disabled then the game runs perfectly. Would this be a program issue and I shoukd just wait for a bug fix update or is this a pulseaudio issue? [05:28] thevor a 32 bit operating system will only support 3.5GB of ram in order to use full 4 GB you should use 64 bit os [05:28] thevor: some applications will probably run faster in 64-bit [05:28] thevor: plus more memory can be used [05:28] is 9.10 already optimized for amd athlon 64 x2 ? or should I pull any drivers from ati.amd.com? [05:28] Do you two think it's worth upgrading? Or doing a clean install for .5 gb ? [05:29] ron-l-j : I didn't connect with ssh -X , so http://paste.pocoo.org/show/153435/ [05:29] I'm also having some trouble with an external hard drive. Does anyone have some time to hear this one ?

When I plug the exhd into my machine directly, I can access everything fine, but when I try to connect to it through Network->Places I can see the hard drive, but when I double click to browse can not see any files, and am not able to write to it. [05:30] sweet ! so you have a prompt ? [05:30] is 9.10 already optimized for amd athlon 64 x2 ? or should I pull any drivers from ati.amd.com?

I bought a new disc and would like to transfer both windows and ubuntu to the new disc (use the old one as back up) is there a simple way of doing it. The new disc is bigger than the old one [06:35] linuxguy2009: yeah, i do like the idea of byte-for-byte backup though [06:35] hahaha the great thing about netbook remix is there is only a small amount of hardware support [06:35] can i install xp os from internet????????

[06:38] linuxguy2009: i realize that linux is not windows, but doesn't acronis do byte-for-byte on a mounted filesystem? [06:38] scunizi, is that a live cd? it will copy grub as well? if i take th eold disc out i can still boot?

[07:30] zcat1 : nope no process found [07:30] raw_input('name,age') [07:30] snuffy47, ahh well yeah that would probably explain it. the only work around I can think of is to probably move hermes_cs and hermes related drivers elsewhere and probably do depmod -ae whilst the card is not plugged in (you may need pcmcia_cs package and do pccardctl eject) [07:30] ron-I-j: I have tried everything anyone has suggested, and searched all Ubuntu forums etc. I don't know where to start/what to do.

[07:35] snuffy47, well yeah its somewhat a complicated issue, but simply put its like you owning a car, but you want to relegate a driver.. there's two drivers, and neither of them will give up taking the driving position with one driver driving faster than the other and causing the car to become problematic [07:35] ron-l-j, yes [07:35] ok , is there a way to stop a package from installing? openoffice.org -filter -binfilter is the culprit that is driving me insane [07:35] Jack package will help you with input and out put [07:35] computer 1's IP is 10.0.0.1 and the 2nd computer's IP is 10.0.0.2 and the 2nd computer's gateway is 10.0.0.1, they both have same netmask and broadcast addresses.

[07:44] snuffy47, yes orinoco_cs or hemes_cs but your chipset isn't that [07:44] zcat[1]: lol [07:44] shall this support lenovo T60 ? http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Notebook-WD6400BEVT-Scorpio/dp/B002P3KO8I [07:44] Reactor: should I have some of handbook? [07:44] can anyone tell me if that feature u got in xubuntu(sry, dunno the name) does work in ubuntu too? [07:44] you click on a button (beneath minimize, maximize and close)and then just the top of the window with those buttons remains.. [07:44] snuffy47, they supposedly share the same designs but orinoco (hermes) timing is faster than intersil prism chipsets [07:45] bbB: I'm a linux newbie too - programmed under windblows and now trying to do it under linux [07:45] I am watching a lesson on line that I need to download as well .... I am watching it using vlc, but it is available as ITune download as well .... how do you download Itune stuff in ubuntu? the link is http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/yale.edu.2413658053 [07:45] psycho_oreos, lol no worries atleast I have some things to read up on [07:45] problem #2, dialup in network manager is fscked.. ended up using gnome-ppp which means that firefox and evolution alreays start in offline mode now.. anyone got suggestions on how to fix? [07:45] zcat[1]: disable nm === b0w is now known as b0w[out] [07:45] snuffy47, oh and incase you're not aware of your cardbus controller, its O2 Micro [07:45] zcat[1]: you're not using it? [07:45] bbB: handbook = ? [07:45] Good day everyone , how use gcj fore firefox JRE ? [07:46] yigal: hmm, that might be an option... [07:46] zcat[1]: or uninstall all together and install wicd [07:46] zcat[1]: which for most purposs is > nm [07:46] s/purposs/purposes [07:47] I think just kill NM, and any time they need to use broadband they could just 'sudo dhclient' to kick it into life.. [07:47] zcat[1]: wicd is amazingly good at these connections [07:47] zcat[1]: and is far less intrusive [07:47] yeah, I might play with wicd too.. [07:48] zcat[1]: you should look at it for a couple minutes, it's really quite robust [07:48] zcat[1]: nice console interface and a fine gui [07:48] dialup USED to be pretty good n gnome... why did they have to go and screw that up? [07:48] im using win32 disk imager.. seems to be extracting the img file ok.. [07:48] zcat[1]: it's usually what happens :) [07:48] ron-l-j, im not sure how to set it up [07:49] ryan_mccain: should be fine [07:49] we'll see.. the ISO for 9.10 extracted fine but it just wouldnt install [07:49] http://jackaudio.org/applications [07:49] Reactor: handbook = a book that you can port with you everywhere.

You want to move some files ? [07:52] mr_steve: edit gconf as root?, sorry not a GNOME master [07:52] Reactor: np stands for? [07:52] no problem [07:52] bbB no problem [07:52] how do I install a program from svn? [07:52] bbB: np = no problems [07:52] hi [07:52] hi [07:53] going to try and install now. thx for the help. [07:53] yigal, thanks anyway, gconf is definitely kind of opaque and undocumented when it comes to schemas. I might go bug #gnome, just thought I'd ask here first [07:53] mr_steve: I am really unhappy with the underbelly of GNOME, best of luck [07:53] racecar56 join #racecar56-help I'll tell you how to set up ssh to move some files [07:53] Good day everyone , http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=gcjwebplugin how to install it [07:53] http://www.tinychat.com/AwesomePeopleFTWhttp://www.tinychat.com/AwesomePeopleFTW [07:54] Reactor : Programming on Windows is what? how to do? [07:55] bbB: not fun [07:55] bbB: Awww do u know tht epic fail OS? [07:55] I'm having a brain-frying problem with my system. I've got a book as a .pdf. It's got regular text as times new roman or something, then SQL statements and code snippets in another font. I can view everything fine in multiple .pdf readers, but when I copy and paste the SQL and code snippets either into a browser or gedit, the characters turn into squares with 6-digit numbers inside. Any ideas? [07:56] what tool is better to download videocasts? [07:56] Reactor: How ? [07:57] plasmaflux: try pasting to OpenOffice writer? [07:57] zcat[1]: white squares [07:57] mr_steve: I am really unhappy with the underbelly of GNOME, best of luck? [07:57] oops, my bad [07:57] white squares also in firefox, squares with 6-digit codes in gedit --- character count is correct, but it's all gobbledygook [07:57] repeating myself [07:58] bbB: ? [07:58] plasmaflux: what about pdftotext, probably not good but worth a try? [07:58] [karmic nvidia] is there a way to rebuild my xorg.conf from scratch? every time i choose a proprietary driver from Hardware Drivers and reboot, I end up having to restore from a backup xorg.conf [07:58] pdftohtml [07:58] yigal: don't think that's a viable solution with a 400 page book i'm trying to learn from - maybe as a last resort [07:58] plasmaflux: I understand [07:59] pdftohtml needs to use some options to get best results : man pdftohtml [07:59] osirisx11: delete your xorg.conf then sudo nvidia-xconfig, to make one from scratch [07:59] how can i use tr command to change the case enclosed by double quotes [07:59] im trying to get my ipod classic to sync with songbird on ubuntu 9.10 can anyone help me? [07:59] please tell me [08:00] Reactor: I dont understand this clause "epic fail OS", What does it mean? [08:00] plasmaflux: sounds like the code snippets are in some embedded font using weird character values, it may even be intentional to stop casual cut-and-paste [08:00] bbB: It means the conversation needs to move to another channel [08:00] If you want to talk about epic fail OS, try #windows ;) [08:01] luckymurali, i think you should use sed : http://www.pement.org/sed/sed1line.txt [08:01] bbB: right :P [08:01] luckymurali: you just want to change something to upper or lowercase ? [08:01] hi, ubuntu 9.10, resume from suspend prints few lines on black background and I can't do anything :/ Everytime. My hardware is notebook with intel graphics card. Where should I looking for [08:02] help * [08:02] Billiard, Hi [08:02] Reactor: Sorry, I don't know. [08:02] 9.04 worked fine [08:02] luckymurali, sed is sending the result in stdout, so you must redirect it in a file like : you sed command > myresult.txt [08:02] Billiard: thank you. should i delete it and rebuild while in a full x session or what context? [08:02] osirisx11: doesnt matter [08:03] i want to change something to upper or lowercase enclosed by "" [08:03] what are *.sig here http://mirrors.aixtools.net/sv/gcjwebplugin/ for ? [08:03] anyone know how to make ubuntu display the desktop on a remove xserver on boot? === cryptk|away is now known as cryptk [08:03] work it harder, do it faster makes us stronger, more than ever, our work is never over [08:03] Billiard: thank you. should i select the nvidia driver first in hardware drivers? hardware drivers app currently shows no nvidia driver selected. and if i do that, then when i reboot, i am sure it will fail to boot. [08:03] Cork[home]: ummm.. ltsp perhaps? [08:03] zcat[1]: I considered that as a possibility, but was able to copy-and-paste code from the same book on my work machine running Windows XP a few days ago. [08:04] osirisx11: not super familiar with the hardware drivers thing, i would thing nvidia-xconfig will take care of it [08:04] bbB: sorry, man, I have to go for some time [08:04] plasmaflux: hmm, I don't know enough about pdf files to say really ;) [08:04] Billiard: thank you. i will report back. wish me luck. [08:04] plasmaflux: what about acroread linux version, copy paste? [08:04] Reactor: nice to talk with you. [08:04] plasmaflux: same problem? [08:05] luckymurali: so you dont want to change all text to upper case, you want to find the text that is in "s ? [08:05] does anyone know if the 9.10 release has drivers install for atheros wifi pci already [08:05] yes [08:05] luckymurali, echo slap was here | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' [08:05] As with most other backup programs [08:05] jmary: nice [08:05] yigal - I installed acroread linux after not even being able to select the text in Document Viewer or pdfedit -- same problem [08:06] pasted from adobereader 9.2, seems ok [08:06] i tried installing the newest WoW using wine on 9.04 but it failed - it's hard to know if it is compatible or not reading the web - anyone have any experience? (i've never installed any other WoW's before) [08:06] plasmaflux: copy the whole thing to a .doc in windows perhaps? [08:06] bbB: thx [08:06] jmary, It converts all lower case to uppercase [08:06] it's sort of a bummer. i was hoping to tear through some heavy cakephp exercises tonight...instead i've spent the last 3 hours troubleshooting my linux install [08:06] luckymurali: yep, that's what it should do [08:06] luckymurali, definitely. [08:06] greezmunkey: as i said, most of the text copies fine, just not the example code snippets and SQL statements. [08:07] but i wnat to convert the string enclosed by "" [08:07] plasmaflux: so it's the encoding of these snippits [08:07] plasmaflux, it has to be our file. I've tried several sections of one here without a failure... :( [08:07] our=your [08:07] yigal - seems to be. i installed the microsoft fonts thinking that might be it. it may be the fact Tahoma is missing? [08:08] zcat[1]: that looks a bit overcomplicated, a just want to project the complete xwin to a xserver on another machine; i thought linux could to that nativly? [08:08] *i just [08:08] is there an easy solution for the no sound in flash thing? [08:08] plasmaflux: you should try pdftotext -f first_page -l last_page, see what it does [08:08] greezmunkey - it seems to be something with the encoding in this file for sure...but it's the exact same file i was copying and pasting from on a windows box at work the other day [08:08] Cork[home]: hmm, sorta... [08:08] i have a "rma" program, real media analysis , whereas it fixes real media files.... How can i feed it a list of the files in a directory beacuse usually it works only one file at a time [08:08] yang_: it depends [08:08] yigal: on? [08:09] yigal: alsa looks like its working. flash sound work before [08:09] yang_: what platform, version of Ub. etc. [08:09] i need help on opening a .png file in pygame can somebody help plz?? [08:09] yigal - yeah, for troubleshooting i'll give pdftotext a try. if need be, i'll read most of the book as .pdf, then dig through the text file when i need to copy/paste code [08:09] yigal: x86 , Ubuntu 9.10 [08:09] or -- heaven forbid --- i'll type it [08:09] :) [08:09] yang_: well if you're usinga modern Ub. it's pulse audio you need to be concerned with [08:10] yigal: i hate that i removed it because it wasn't working [08:10] yang_: not alsa, strangely enough [08:10] yang_: nice [08:10] yigal: flash contiued to work after i removed it lol . [08:10] Billiard,any ideas??? [08:10] yigal: reinstall ? [08:10] :) [08:10] luckymurali: i cant think of any easy way to do it, other that saving some variables and stuff [08:11] yang_: sure, but also depmod -a, sudo chmod 777 /dev/dsp, why not [08:11] how do i feed "rma" a program , how do i feed it a list of files? [08:11] plasmaflux, check this thread out! http://forums.adobe.com/message/1187442 [08:11] what is /dev/dsp? [08:11] Billiard , ok [08:11] pretty funny, related to cut and paste protection [08:11] yang_: sound output [08:11] aah [08:11] to ensure not a permissoin issue [08:11] yang_: is other sound working? [08:11] depmod -a checks all dependancys ? [08:12] yigal: yes all other sound works [08:12] Guys, in general to reinstall is not the right way to solve the problem. Can do an apt-get --purge to remove config files related to a service and start over with a base config but concerning gnome component everything is in the home directory. [08:12] yang_: exactly, module dependencies [08:12] yang_: man depmod [08:12] So the reinstall will usually won't solve anything. [08:12] yang_: you also might want to clear out /tmp, for flash stuff, and clear firefox's memory [08:12] i need help on opening a .png file in pygame can somebody help plz?? [08:12] iceroot: man man [08:12] yang_: I assume you are having problems on ff [08:12] yang_: nice [08:12] yang_: yes, use it :) [08:13] plasmaflux, can you print a page or two of your document to file, and then cut and paste from that? [08:13] rance94: sounds like #python [08:13] yigal: ff 2 , but i use konqueror mostly [08:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/330056/ how should be installed [08:13] yang_: ah, ya, good old konqueror is a good piece of software [08:13] i installed a package for 9.10 but I am actually running 9.04. How do I remove it using dpkg [08:14] Billiard: i had to disable GLX in xorg.conf to boot, Hardware Drivers now says 185 is active, Visual Effects cannot be activated [08:14] bluntman225: what is it? [08:14] dpkg -r package [08:14] yigal: i wish webkit based? or improve khtml but execlent features [08:14] in general [08:14] bluntman225: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename [08:14] how would i listen to a line in with an audio client [08:14] bluntman225: go with iceroot's advice [08:14] Billiard: NVIDIA X Server Settings program says my version I am using is 185.18.36 [08:15] osirisx11: idk why you had to disable GLX [08:15] how to use cvs at all ? [08:15] alabd: sorry you have to, at all [08:15] Billiard: x crashes when it was enabled, refused to start x [08:15] alabd: man cvs, also see #cvs [08:15] yigal: chromium's webkit is much improved from konqueror; though they are submitting patches upstream [08:15] yigal: must have been permissions lol [08:16] yang_: sweet, good to hear [08:16] yigal: iceroot: thanks guys [08:16] yigal: wonder why permissions issue?? [08:16] Boohbah: it's just the idea of an all purpose app. kind of nice [08:16] yang_: that's odd, lol [08:17] rma -fz << cat thelist does not work... how do i do it so i can send rma a list? [08:17] hmm would syslog have access denied to /dev/dsp and why? [08:17] rma is real media analysizer [08:17] iceroot: No manual entry for cvs [08:17] ~cvs [08:17] yigal: oh, i bet you like emacs and seamonkey too :) [08:17] !cvs [08:17] cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ [08:17] alabd: then its not installed [08:17] guess print to file isn't an option :/ [08:18] yang_: are you in audio group? [08:18] yigal:yes [08:18] yang_: weird [08:18] Billiard: my xorg log when glx was crashing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/330059/ [08:18] Boohbah: actually I'm a vim man, but I like the idea nonetheless :) [08:18] i want to run two programs at once, rma -fz << cat thelist [08:19] spO: rma? you mean rm?

[08:19] [karmic nvidia] xorg crashes on glx for 185, http://paste.ubuntu.com/330059/ [08:19] yigal: hmm idk [08:19] spO: cat thelist > rma -fz ? [08:20] rma means real media analyzer, it is somewhat of a outlierer proram/that no one probably uses.... it can fix rm/real media files one at a time... but i want to feed it a list [08:20] yang_: odd stuff, flash is so bad, but I must see my House, Dexter etc. so ? [08:20] spO: for FILE in $(cat 'your-list'); do rm -rf FILE done [08:21] iceroot: rma != rm [08:21] Boohbah: i dont know rma [08:21] thanks [08:21] yigal: ?? lol . yeah cant wait for html 5 based players forget flash [08:21] spO: for i in *.rm; do rma -fz; done [08:21] yang_: what I have been doing lately is let files load, and then, mplayer /tmp/Fla* [08:21] spO: for i in *.rm; do rma -fz $i; done [08:21] spO: if you have .rm files in a dir [08:22] yigal: nice.. yeh i tired out screen, finch and elinks so im playing around with that haha [08:23] how can i do it so i do it in subdirectories.... whereas the program would need osmething like full paths to try to work with lots of subdirectories [08:23] yang_: screen and w3m for me but I need my graphical stuffs, I just go an eee pc with a touch screen :) [08:23] yang_: eee pc t91mt [08:23] hello i tried screen magnifier under assistive technologies... now that gnome session is fucked up.. how to delete that config? please? :D [08:23] I think my wirless adaptor uses AR5413.

How to I enable it? modprobe ath5k does nothing [08:23] i want touch w/ linux.. plasma with KDE 4.4 will be nice i heard qt 4.6 is touch ready [08:23] spO: Might be easier to just say what exactly you are trying to do [08:24] yigal: multitouch ready* [08:24] when I run "svn co http://svn.blah.blah/blah/blah/", where does the SVN go?

[08:29] Hello all [08:29] im not spamming, how to upgrading the kernel? [08:29] osirisx11: sure, you got a real question?

It's not trivial, but that looks like the only way to get it working [08:30] osirisx11: post it to the channel please [08:31] hey guys whenever i run synaptic to install/uninstall something I get the following error : E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [08:31] what should I do? [08:31] Boohbah, so where is xorg.conf located if not in /etc/X11 ? [08:31] @ooaaaoo maybe broken package apt-get -f install [08:31] I have some broken packages, what was the command to fix them? [08:32] ooaaaoo, ^^ [08:32] ganjanaut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJzM2LNOtWU&feature=channel , his other videos are good also ( and again you should look into more than just what's in this video ) [08:32] how to know where icedtea-gcjwebplugin .so file is saved ? [08:32] hadees, /usr/lib/xorg and/or /usr/lib34/xorg [08:32] i have difficulty connecting haier ce 100 cdma modem into the internet, im using 9.10, i have using wvdial and it apppears failed [08:32] lockd, how to editing kernel code? im new in ubuntu [08:32] how can i remove the wrong dir from PATH and add the correct dir to PATH [08:32] iceroot: what do you mean post it to the channel? [08:33] whenever I update the kernel, the new kernel is added on top of the list in grub .... is it possible to clean the grub menu list automatically, so that you only have one working kernel and not a list of 6 different kernels? [08:33] Jordan_U: ty, will do! [08:33] kermit_t, you have to follow those instructions to the letter [08:33] what should I do? [08:33] hey guys whenever i run synaptic to install/uninstall something I get the following error : E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [08:33] ct529: apt-get autoremove should remove the no longer needed kernels [08:33] kermit_t, http://bit.ly/6k2o6z [08:33] where's the instruction? [08:33] ganjanaut: np [08:33] cryptk, i don't see xorg.conf in either of those places [08:33] kermit_t, http://bit.ly/6k2o6z [08:33] SwedeMike: but it attempts to remove a lot of different packages [08:34] kermit, I won't spam that anymore [08:34] oops, hang on, I thought you were asking for something else... [08:34] one sec [08:34] is there a text based IM client you can use over SSH? [08:34] ct529: yes, it removes the packages no longer needed, that was automatically installed because of something else [08:34] hey. i'm wondering why my IP has been banned from ubuntuforums.org. i've never even written anything there. i usually only browse these forums after a search from google to find some answeres to general issues with my linux system... [08:34] you said it is NOT in /etc/X11 [08:34] hi everybody! [08:34] kermit_t, supposedly you can just eject the device, "rmmod usbserial" and "modprobe usbserial" [08:35] Does anyone use XBMC on karmic? [08:35] SwedeMike: it is removing wine! orgh! [08:35] kermit_t, it appears as a storage device right?

[08:35] ct529: well then I guess you have to remove the kernel packages manually instead [08:35] what should I do? [08:35] kermit_t, it's a broken piece of hardware that says it's a storage device first [08:35] eNTi: It may be that someone using the same ISP as you was banned and you now have the IP address they had when they were banned. If you have a dynamic ip address that is ( which most people do ) [08:35] im sorry, what is the definition of the spam, im not spamming, im asking some help [08:36] SwedeMike: oh £$^£$$&%!!!!! It has removed wine and the configuration ..... [08:36] hadees, you said you couldn't find it in /etc/X11 [08:36] I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 KK and i use an hp 3180 printer. how can i see the spooler application to cancel interrupted printouts? [08:36] ct529: are you sure it removed the configuration? try installing wine again, default is not to purge the config [08:36] that's what I thought anyway. [08:36] bazhang: Yes, 9.11~beta1. [08:36] yes, first recognize as a storage device, im already eject the device [08:36] im already sudo modprobe [08:37] SwedeMike: who on earth is configuring the autoremove to remove packages that are linked to existing packages????? [08:37] ct529: I have no idea, mine doesn't do that. [08:37] anyone here using karmic and nvidia and have working 3d? xorg crashes on glx for 185, http://paste.ubuntu.com/330059/ [08:37] hayt, you have a question about it? better to give a fully detailed description of your issue to the channel, along with a pastebin of any errors you have gotten [08:37] when I use uname -r i get 2.6.28-6-386. I am using Jaunty Jackalope server. What version of linux-backports-modules should I get? [08:37] kermit_t, I said /I/ wouldn't spam the link again. since I gave it and you asked again [08:38] Hi I'm having some trouble with lmms, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with it. [08:38] kermit_t, and the device is still not detected? [08:38] okay, thanks then [08:38] !repeat | kermit_t (this is spam) [08:38] kermit_t (this is spam): Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [08:38] I've recently installed it, and can't get any sound out of the piano roll. Whenever I try to sample any of the sounds it sounds like feedback, and it is crashing randomly. [08:38] hey guys I have an error everytime I try to run apt :http://pastebin.com/m2bcbcaf0 [08:39] can someone help me out? [08:39] bazhang: xbmc starts, but all I get is a black screen with a mouse pointer. The pointer will not move. I have to kill xmbc.bin from another terminal. [08:39] SwedeMike: apt-get is from the repository, it is not the kind of package you want to go and modify .... [08:39] hey people [08:40] please https://monteledwards.com/tun/browse.php?u=Oi8vc21vdWNoLm5ldC9sb2wv&b=5&f=norefer [08:41] SwedeMike: and it did not clean up the kernels .... [08:41] how do u open a .png file in pygame and nobody is talking in the python chat soo can somebody help me [08:41] ooaaaoo, you need to use "sudo apt-get autoremove" anything with apt-get requires root privilege and thus needs sudo [08:41] rance94: no, this is ubuntu support not python-support [08:41] So I just installed ubuntu 9.10 64bit server edition on my home server (Zotac ITX board, Celeron Dual-Core (Allendale), 2 GB DDR 800, 3X WD 320GB SATA drives). I have the drives partitioned like this: sda1: .5 GB ext4 /boot sda2: 316GB Soft RAID sdb1 .5GB swap sdb2: 316GB Soft RAID sdc1 .5GB swap sdc2: 316GB Soft RAID. The RAID partitions comprise one RAID 5 formatted with ext4. When the installer prompted for a location to install GRUB is s [08:41] uggested /dev/sda and I accepted it. On reboot, the word GRUB followed by a blinking cursors appears and it silently hangs there. Have tried reinstalling. I did a google search and nothing jumped out at me. Anyone got any ideas or solutions on how to fix this? [08:42] ZykoticK9: doesnt seem to have made a difference... [08:42] rance94: http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/image.html [08:42] ct529: then you have to find the kernel packages and remove them with dpkg. I usually do dpkg --list | grep and then cut/paste the ones I want to remove into dpkg --remove [08:42] I dont have a network connection, but I need to to install linux-backports-modules. Im running Jaunty jackalaope. how to I pick which package to pull off the net and then scp it to my computer [08:42] ok iceroot how do i open a png file in pygame on ubuntu since i am new to ubuntu so i need some help [08:42] m trying to get rsync to download stuff off my server and put it on a backup folder on my laptop and i keep getting this error http://club-ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6404e400 [08:42] !best [08:42] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[08:43] rance94: again!! this is ubuntu support,, so go to #python, read a manual or use google [08:43] SwedeMike: yes, you can do it manually, but I would have thought tjere was a automatic way of doing it. Thanks a lot for your help. [08:43] luux that language is not acceptable here. Please desist. [08:43] it's a term of endearing [08:43] luux: no, its not [08:44] but anyways... what's the ubuntu way to change Xorg driver?

[08:44] there's no xorg.conf [08:45] ct529: well, it's automatic on my system, I just removed the -14 kernel using autoremove [08:45] oO almost 1300 nicks [08:45] SwedeMike: did you install from scratch or updated automatically? [08:45] hello?

[08:47] adf [08:47] alright I've centered through the PHYSICAL monitor menu. but it's stuck at 800x600 res [08:47] ooaaaoo: The error you're getting is because the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer isn't installed properly. That package attempts to download a number of files from Sourceforge during setup, and it appears this is failing. From the look of it, it's attempting to connect through a proxy at www-proxy.adelaide.edu.au, which isn't working right. [08:47] find . -iname *.rm | xargs rma -fz [08:47] xargs: rma: terminated by signal 11 [08:48] rww: yeah I noticed that, how do I tell apt/synaptic to not use a proxy? IM pretty sure i selected "direct connection " from the preferences menu [08:49] rww: plus how do i tell it to NOT use m$corefonts [08:49] how do i make it so the output of find gets pu tinto the xargs?

[08:51] it is a third party program that no one uses... it is real media analyzer... to fix rm files [08:52] ooaaaoo: you could msttcorefonts [08:52] ooaaaoo: you're not using them by default, you installed a program that depends or recommends them. Since the package is currently broken, we need to figure this out so you can remove it, I think. [08:52] spO: perhaps you need -print0 for find? [08:52] it doesn't matter what rma does, i just need the end [08:52] ooaaaoo: um the verb remove was missing in my sentence [08:52] i'm trying to build dep just for xbmc when i do sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc i get Unable to find a source package for xbmc but if i try to install it seems to work [08:52] ooaaaoo: Anyway, from the look of it, it's downloading with wget, so it wouldn't be using apt's proxy settings. Hmm. What's System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy set to in GNOME? [08:53] hadees: do you have the deb-src lines commented out in /etc/apt/sources.list? [08:53] rww: ooh i remember this bug... [08:53] rww: currently, direct, but when Im in school I have a school profile which corresponds to the proxy settings you saw in the cli o/p [08:53] maco: the one I remember had some sort of broken default proxy, though, not a specific real-sounding one. [08:53] print 0?

[08:58] pagan0ne_: How is it "broken"? [09:00] BlueEagle, well, i have the UNR "bar" at the top like its still the "clutter" desktop, but i dont have the UNR "menu" - ie clutter running, i try launching netbook-launcher does nothing... gnome-panel --replace does nothing aswell [09:00] maco: I don't have scroll. Otherwise it would be something like super_l and scroll down [09:00] which is a suitable channel for discussing about networking etc??

[09:02] happosade: ok this is one i havent tried to do with xrandr, but lemme read through the manpage a bit... [09:02] BlueEagle, get what i mean? [09:02] ooaaaoo: alright.

My internet went down a few hours ago in the whole house.. and apparently it came back, for everyone but me.... now I try and connect via the wireless and it wont connect... however... even my phone is working (WPA connection) is there a way for me to just kinda... reset my wifi card and see if that works?

[09:04] elky: thx [09:05] pagan0ne_: does ps aux yeld any lines indicating the clutter to be started. [09:05] ? [09:05] http://pastebin.com/m2efd307 [09:05] BlueEagle, if i could just get UNR back id be happy, didnt really care too much about gnome-panel, ill do a ps aux for you [09:05] rww: http://pastebin.com/m2efd307 [09:05] happosade: maybe try "xrandr --panning=1680x1050"? [09:06] i read through the grub2 wiki page and it did not address my issue, anyone want to try their luck? [09:06] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu but after the reboot grub gives me an error: "unknown filesystem". After some try (checking device.map and stuff) I think the main problem is that the linux partition, where grub is installed in, is too far away from the mbr of that disk. Linux is actually installed in the last 30GB of a 1TB USB hard disk. If I use a pendrive to boot the system all works like a charm. What I need to know is: can I overwrite the mbr [09:06] maco: no... [09:06] ooaaaoo: thanks. Do you get any output from "env | grep -i proxy"? if so, can you pastebin it? [09:06] maco: it just shows the help after that [09:06] the problem with find is that it doesn't put special characters for white spaces, is ther esomething to do this? [09:06] the results don't have special characters for white spaces [09:06] I have a nice HOWTO for Grub2 if you want it [09:06] rww: env grep proxy doesnt spit anything out [09:07] i'm actually using grub1 [09:07] oh [09:07] fadeh: Yes, you can overwrite the MBR. I am not however sure that you want to do that. [09:07] might want to upgrade [09:07] happosade: umm. xrandr --output default --panning 1680x1050 [09:07] happosade: maybe that? [09:07] does it solve the problem of the word GRUB being printed out and then hanging without and error? [09:07] a friend of mine said grub1 doesnt support ntfs, is that right? [09:07] no [09:07] it does [09:07] Grub2 works nicely though [09:07] X Error of failed request: BadRRCrtc (invalid Crtc parameter) and few other lines [09:07] ooaaaoo: curious. Any proxy-related stuff in "sudo env"? [09:07] so I can install grub on my windows partition and then boot a multiloader from there? [09:08] yea [09:08] maybe rebooting X [09:08] private message me your email [09:08] I'll send you my howto [09:08] BlueEagle, yes i have netbook-launcher and gnome-panel running, weird thing is gnome-panel's pid is steady where as netbook-launcher's is hopping all over like its continually trying to respawn or something [09:08] fadeh: Grub does not live inside a file system per say. It lives in the boot records. You may have trouble reading configuration files from ntfs partitions though. [09:08] if i do a find ... how can i make it so the results have special characters "\ " for spaces... i need this for xargs [09:08] rww: rootzilla@rootzilla-laptop:~$ sudo env | grep proxy [09:08] rootzilla@rootzilla-laptop:~$ [09:09] can anyone tell me how to use wine? [09:09] pagan0ne_: if a PID is not the same between two ps aux then the process has been restarted, yes. That would indicate a broken configuration. [09:09] pagan0ne_: does /var/log/ contain anything useful? [09:10] BlueEagle, it changes constantly, ill look in /var/log/ what types of useful info should i be looking for, output from netbook-launcher? [09:10] pagan0ne_: Alternately, can you kill the netbook-launcher process and start it from a terminal? That may provide useful debug information. [09:10] rww: was that what you were looking for? [09:10] BlueEagle, how can i kill it if i never know its pid? [09:10] pagan0ne_: Typically errors from netbook-launcher would be desirable when debuggin that process. ;) [09:10] pagan0ne_: killall netbook-launcher [09:10] are there any known problems with GRUB2 and software RAID? [09:11] pagan0ne_: ie, killall does take process names. [09:11] hello. iwconfig can see my wlan card, but it says its disabled (tx-power=off)... how can i enable it? [09:11] BlueEagle, ty [09:11] bragr: yes. It appears that it doesn't work all the time. [09:11] ooaaaoo: yeah. That's weird. wget uses the http_proxy variable to get a proxy server, but it doesn't appear to be set =/ [09:12] BlueEagle, ive run several killall netbook-launcher's and the process still persists, like something is spawning it [09:12] what about wget, where are its settings set? [09:12] pagan0ne_: killall -9 netbook-launcher [09:12] BlueEagle: my /boot is plain ext4 but everything else is ext4 on a software RAID 5 [09:12] bragr: ...and? [09:13] ooaaaoo: /etc/wgetrc [09:13] BlueEagle, still running, persistant bugger === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [09:13] ooaaaoo: there is a proxy option in there, too. check if that's set [09:13] pagan0ne_: do you have netbook-launcher or similar in /etc/init.d/ or /etc/init/ ? [09:13] BlueEagle, ill look [09:13] BlueEagle: Bios slash screen, the word "GRUB" and a blinking cursor, and it hangs there, no error [09:14] why can't i play full HD smoothly on Ubuntu? [09:15] SuperPii: what processor you have? [09:15] bragr: When it doesn't yeld any error message then it typically is unable to figure out where its configuration files are. This may happen when the BIOS and linux disagree of which HDD is where. [09:15] rww: http://pastebin.com/m34d80e26 [09:15] bragr: Typically you would boot a live-cd and retry installing grub. [09:15] BlueEagle, no netbook-launcher in /etc/init or init.d [09:15] rww: they seem to be commented out [09:15] find . -iname *.rm -ls shows me directories with "\ " special characters that i need for white spaces, but the -ls also shows me more information such as user and group ownership, which i don't need... i just need the filename with special characters [09:15] BlueEagle: I just did, nothing [09:15] Hey friends... My internet went down a few hours ago in the whole house.. and apparently it came back, for everyone but me.... now I try and connect via the wireless and it wont connect... however... even my phone is working (WPA connection) is there a way for me to just kinda... reset my wifi card and see if that works? [09:16] hi [09:16] when will gnome 3 be out? [09:16] BlueEagle, wouldnt it be more benificial to look @ the configs to figure out whats causing it to try to load both gnome-panel and netbook-launcher? [09:16] pagan0ne_: You may want to check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:16] kcj1993, is that related to ubuntu support? [09:17] kcj1993, planned for autumn 2010, i think [09:17] to_date('30-OCT-07','DD-MON-RR') to be converted to '30-OCT-07' [09:17] pagan0ne_: tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:17] please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:17] ooaaaoo: Hmm. Well, I'm out of places to look, personally. That's all the places it would be that I know about :/ [09:17] please tell me how can i get this using sed [09:17] ooaaaoo, fresh install? [09:18] bazhang: almost, probably 2 weeks at most [09:18] Billiards, this regex is making me mad [09:18] pagan0ne_: That would only help if you had an understanding as to what the different configuration settings do and what may cause conflict. [09:18] ooaaaoo, I had the exact same bug, it does install them after a number of tries. [09:18] pagan0ne_: Have you attempted to kill the gnome-panel btw? [09:18] BlueEagle, think i found it, for dome reason its trying to load nvidia-glx and this is a intel card [09:18] d9500: thanks [09:18] BlueEagle, if i kill gnome-panel it respawns aswell [09:18] luckymurali: i dont understand what you want [09:18] bazhang: what is a bug? [09:18] pagan0ne_: Then you may want to uninstall the nVidia drivers. [09:18] how can i use sed to convert "to_date('30-OCT-07','DD-MON-RR')" to '30-OCT-07' [09:19] Billiard, you got now?? [09:19] BlueEagle, im doing that now, no idea how they got on the system as its never had a nvidia card :p [09:19] bazhang: ubuntu has gnome so yes it is. [09:19] ooaaaoo, or connection error, relating to connection to the msfonts dl sites [09:19] can somebody help me troubleshoot sound.. tried the online guide. sound card shows up. drivers are loaded. hardware is good. but no sound [09:19] pagan0ne_: Alternately have a look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to see if your device is being configured automatically or if it's being auto detected. [09:19] If anyone has any troubles getting sound to work on LG LW Laptops I am now the master! Only kidding but I just fixed my 24 hour sound problem! Woot! [09:19] kcj1993, not really, as it is not out, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:20] Yang__: What is the problem? [09:20] BlueEagle, xorg.conf is pretty much empty, its all auto configed [09:20] I have string "to_date('30-OCT-07','DD-MON-RR')" [09:20] GenericBox: hehe interested in wading into the audio world? [09:20] bazhang: I am [09:20] how can i use sed or tr command to get output as '30-OCT-07' [09:20] GenericBox: had sound until like 10 minutes ago, came on her for problem with falsh, set permission on /dev/dsp rwxrwxrwx flash sound worked [09:21] GerneicBox: rebooted and no sound works [09:21] yang: Are you a member of the appropriate group(s)? [09:21] Billiard, is this ok?? [09:21] bazhang: why is it using M$ fonts anyways? [09:21] hayt:audio , yes [09:21] ooaaaoo, its part of ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:21] luckymurali: You might want to look into learning perl if you want to do serious work with regex's [09:21] bazhang: its not like I'm asking how everybody's day is. [09:22] Jordan_U, hi [09:22] cant i make it with sed command?? [09:22] pagan0ne_: If the problem persists it may be beneficial to spesifically configure your devices. [09:22] :( [09:22] yang__: what did you do to /dev/dsp? [09:22] pagan0ne_: Also, a fully configured system loads a tad faster then if the system needs to auto detect every device every time (or so I believe) [09:22] maco: rm -rf /dev/dsp ... jk chmod 777 /dev/dsp [09:22] BlueEagle, well it was all working fine up untill i tried to install ubuntu-desktop along side UNR [09:23] luckymurali: try grep -o "'[0-9][^']*'" [09:23] luckymurali: try asking in ##sed [09:23] yang__: well um thats not right permissions. can you put them back to 660? [09:23] Billiard, thanks [09:23] tsimpson, thanks [09:23] yang__: and instead we'll figure out what was really wrong with flash? [09:24] pagan0ne_: I think ubuntu-desktop tries to load some compiz stuff by default. That may explain the attempt to get a glx. It should have used mesa though. [09:24] maco: sure one sec. ... also maco no sound works. not just flash i cant get amarok or system settings sound test to work at all [09:24] Are there any sexy themes for Ubuntu and how do I get them? << Newbie.

[10:42] LTS sounds like outdated software [10:42] jozefk: and if you wanted you can install all 3 of the desktops you mentioned onto a ubuntu system, and select what one to use from the Login screen. [10:43] chilli0, how big is the sd? [10:43] jozefk: you said you wanted STABLE not 'cutting edge versions' [10:43] psycho_oreos: in that computer is correctly inserted cos if i boot in windows xp it works [10:43] nibbler: 2gig [10:43] but ubuntu freeze only [10:43] devtux87, in other words you are using xp now to chat?

[10:44] psycho_oreos: the problem is my other pc wich is not a laptop [10:44] chilli0, do you know for sure that this card is ok?

[10:48] help needed to convert avi to vcd [10:48] Fizix: in the next ubuntu release there will be a netbook session [10:48] if I have just edited my /etc/modules file, do I need to reboot or logout/in to see changes? [10:48] Fizix: but not now [10:48] devtux87, fcc id, its an identification number that most wireless (and sometimes) other companies need to label with their device, its a compliance tag for device using radio waves [10:48] !info arista | an0nmat1r [10:48] an0nmat1r: arista (source: arista): multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop.

[10:51] How can I solve that? kaycode is not a file... [10:52] there's at least 5 different chipsets under realtek rtl818x iirc [10:52] Dantonic: Sorry, got distracted. You will only need the server to accept local connections, because of the way SSH tunnels the connection, the server thinks it's local. You should be able to connect with Vinagre to 'localhost' on the default port (5900) with no problems. [10:52] Fizix: i just test them out with live cd's these days. I tend tojust stick to gnome. :) [10:52] Hi, can you help me on re-install my audio board? [10:52] psycho_oreos if it helps u, in the other ubuntu, i can use the ubuntu only if i blacklist r8187 r818x r8169 rtl8180 and use ndiswrapper to make it working [10:52] _W_: unetbootin can take a ubuntu iso file and make a bootable flash drive from it. Pendrivelinux.com also has guides for doing it other ways [10:52] devtux87, but the question is why? and if that's the case, can't you do the same once ubuntu is installed? [10:53] hi all, I am using a 19 inch monitor with my hp6710b laptop to extend my desktop with xrandr, however from time to time the laptop screen dims, part on the external monitor is not affected, anyone experienced similar problem? [10:53] psycho_oreos: in karmic it doesnt work [10:53] Dr_Willis, I too stick to Gnome. I just want to switch between the desktop clutter of Netbook Remix and the standard Gnome... but they're all Gnome [10:53] mattcen, thank you I'll give that a shot. I've just encountered a strange problem, my "remote" desktop will not acept any ssh connections. I've been sshing to it all day now all of a sudden it stopped working [10:53] <_W_> Dr_Willis, I've tried both - the ubuntu iso cannot install to the flash drive if it boots from it (can't commit partition changes, it says, even if I don't change partitions), and the pendrivelinux guides seems to all be about installing the livecd version, which isn't what I want [10:53] trying to figure out what's wrong [10:53] Hi [10:53] devtux87, you mean installing karmic and then blacklisting literally all of the realtek drivers and to use ndiswrapper won't work? [10:53] I upgraded to karmic before that was not a problem [10:53] psycho_oreos: if i use recovery i cant catch a terminal cos of the freeze [10:54] ahh [10:54] Fizix: i cant stand the Netbook Desktop interface ;) dosent work well with my 2 wide screen monitors.

[10:54] Hello guys, 1 question:I want to downgrade from Karmic to Jaunty, ive read around and found that its a painfull process specially for us ppl with little Linux/ubuntu experience, i just want to confirm this, should i just do a clean install from my ubuntu 9.04 cd?

[10:55] devtux87, well there's one way to fix this, I think the issue is to relocate the realtek drivers and to depmod -ae [10:55] fire_man : after enetering the wep key it asks me that [10:55] ubottu, ok ok sorry [10:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:55] devtux87, you'll have to do it before you plug the device back in [10:56] so its better to do a clean 9.04 install then? basically i just install 9.04 over Karmic, from my cd, right? [10:56] psycho_oreos: :O its not good :S [10:56] gidna: your own password should work [10:56] 9.04 != karmic [10:56] hmm so basically there is no way to set a umask for a particular directory in linux at all....

X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) [10:56] This is what is outputted from glxinfo or any gl application [10:56] EddieLee: i tend to do cleaninstalls.. the installer can format the old system (loseing all data) or keep a seperate /home partition [10:56] devtux87, or there is probably another way, get compat-wireless and give that a run [10:56] inertial: i have already told you how [10:56] it doesn't... [10:56] gidna, you should be sure of your key look for it behind your rooter [10:56] I've also ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:57] devtux87, you'll still need the card to be unplugged anyway [10:57] inertial: 11:46 < erUSUL> inertial: use a directory with sig set so all files created within inherits the directory permissions.

[11:32] Does anyone have a clue how to run plasma in gnome? I've tried simply running the "plasma" command but it crashes. It works in KDE session though. [11:33] Guys, I have a very baffling problem. Even though I have most certainly installed a certain rpm package, I am still told, by `rpm', that it isn't installed when invoking the '-ql' switch. [11:33] Hetor`: Is it plasma a qt application? [11:33] 有说中文的吗？ [11:33] Yeah [11:33] Any insights as to the problem I have is appreciated. [11:34] CyL: plasma is the core of kde desktop :p [11:34] Guest88716: are you actually using Ubuntu? Ubuntu uses .deb packages, not rpm ones [11:34] Hetor`: Maybe you should install the qt frameqork for it to work with gnome, which is gtk? [11:34] no he's not [11:34] he's on fedora core 12 [11:34] Guest88716: go to #fedora [11:35] CyL: package name? [11:35] Hetor`: just a second [11:35] ok [11:35] why does the links of sun java apear after uninstallation? [11:35] linxeh, I feel like a ghost in there. I have been getting no responses. [11:36] Guest88716: ubuntu doesnt use rpm, and its packages are often quite different (with things in different places) [11:36] now, does anyone know why gtk apps and menus would suddenly decide to ignore the user-chosen GTK controls, colors and icons, and use the ones that apps use when running as root? [11:36] most rpm packages have been ported to .deb [11:36] Guest88716: are you using UBUNTU ? [11:36] no, he's using fedora 12 as I said [11:37] Guest88716: Try asking your question on Linuxquestions.org, if the Fedora channel isn't helping [11:37] how to install intel graphic card in my ubuntu? [11:37] Guest88716: rpm -ivh [11:37] aeon-ltd: why would you "port" an rpm to a deb? and no, there are huge amounts of (mainly commercial) software that hasnt [11:37] No, I am not, epinky. It seems I have made the false assumption that the same package format is used in Ubuntu. Sorry for unnecessary digression, guys. I appreciate your attempts at helping. [11:39] linxeh: personally i see its pointless to have .deb & .rpm if you really wanted a package people should just extract ./configure make make install [11:39] aeon-ltd: alien usually doesn't do too bad a job at converting other kinds of packages to .deb for me, but I don't usually use it for much [11:40] linxeh: pre-compiled .deb and .rpm packages are to make win users feel more comfortable in ubuntu and fedora e.t.c [11:40] mattcen, I'm not sure I am doing it right... is it possible to test this via local network? for example can I enter the local ips from my router? [11:40] cough apt-oncd cough [11:40] Hetor`: sorry buffy, I did not found it... may google would helo you more than I have... [11:40] aeon-ltd: yeah, I can see all those commercial software vendors lapping it up [11:40] to tunnel with ssh? [11:41] sorry seems the dust from aeons mouth blew in my direction === ripps is now known as ripps|sleep [11:41] aeon-ltd: and no, precompiled packages are there because its faster. there are few variations in core hardware, it doesnt make sense to make each user compile their own copy, it's just a waste of cpu time, user time, and power === kb is now known as Guest717 [11:43] linxeh: i guess. but i mean if people want to try the 'latest and greatest' they shouldn't wait for canonical and ubuntu to test and brand, devs already do some testing [11:43] indeed [11:43] but building from source is normally not that simple anyway [11:43] especially when you get dependency hell [11:44] it will be beyond most peopel that want to try the latest and greatest, as they likely arent software/linux experts [11:44] this belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic anyway :) [11:45] linxeh: yeah, some people are afraid of command line still (*shivers*) but have you noticed how long it takes for a firefox release to be branded(soz for posting unrelated topics here) [11:45] Hi, on my gdm login screen, the options bar that is on the bottom edge of the screen doesn't fit the screen... how could I change that? === kira is now known as Guest5079 [11:45] a java applet in a page can not be loaded with firefox , opera , epiphany with jre of sun , openjdk in ubuntu , but it can be loaded in vista and debian 5 , what is problem do you think ? [11:46] alabd: is the addon properly enable in firefox [11:46] aeon-ltd: There's a way around that - add the ubuntu mozilla repository from Ubuntu tweak, and you get daily builds. They're sometimes a tad buggy, at least for me [11:46] *enabled [11:46] StarLionIsaac: you mean shiretoko(unbranded firefox) [11:47] aeon-ltd: yeah - maybe you should become part of the firefox packaging team :) [11:47] alabd: did you installed sun-java6-plugin ? [11:47] aeon-ltd: that's just the name used for it before they release it as firefox, the beta branding, if you prefer [11:47] !ff35 [11:47] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [11:47] aeon-ltd: the actual branding of the browser doesn't really matter much [11:47] linxeh: they probably wouldn't aprove of my un-extensive testing [11:48] Hi, I've gone to a bit of a tangent and started reading about how to recompile linux. the example text is explaining good practice with /usr/src/linux link (should be a link to the latest version folder). There is not alias like this in ubuntu's install of /usr/src/ (as far as I'm seeing). This would be fine, excpet - later in the instructions, after some clean-up, it suggests you go ahead and make a new linnk based on the versino folder you're [11:48] StarLionIsaac: but thats what i find ridicolous about ubuntu branding firefox then releasing instead of just not branding and saving time [11:48] erUSUL: aeon-ltd all plugind are ok [11:48] aeon-ltd: hence the repository that gives you the unbranded releases [11:49] Hi.. Its working !!!! [11:49] lol, got plasma working. A reboot solved the problem [11:49] !yay | aruna [11:49] aruna: Glad you made it! :-) [11:49] i just deleted the current configuring and recreated new connection.. and it worked !!!!! [11:50] now, does anyone know why gtk apps and menus would suddenly decide to ignore the user-chosen GTK controls, colors and icons, and use the ones that apps use when running as root instead? [11:50] aeon-ltd: heh :-) [11:50] Thank you to all who helped :) [11:51] hey people! how to sync evolution with a sonyericcson w715? [11:51] StarLionIsaac: you have to run gnome-appearence-manager as root or edit the root users gtkrc.mine [11:51] now a general question. if i need to write program in ubuntu or kubuntu.. what language i need to use ? [11:52] aeon-ltd: I'm not trying to modify root's appearance settings - my non-root GTK apps have adopted a theme like root's, regardless of what I choose in the appearance manager even as not-root [11:52] aruna: i'll suggest c++ [11:52] how do i re-generate the thumbnails for movies in nautilus? [11:52] StarLionIsaac: check your gtkrc-2.0 it may have been overwritten by another app [11:52] hmmmm for windows programmin [11:52] i mean XWindows programming ? [11:53] aruna: give QT a try! [11:53] aruna: there are bindings for X and various toolkits like GTK and QT in several languages [11:53] kire: hi [11:53] oi [11:53] kira: hi [11:53] bom [11:53] ?? [11:53] aruna: C is the most popular for X and GTK, while C++ is most popular for QT [11:53] so, nobody has ever synced a sonyericcson w715 yet? [11:54] i have this celular [11:54] hmmm thank you ;) [11:54] Cody: so? did you use opensync or something like that? [11:54] aeon-ltd: no, it doesn't show anything different, it shows the settings I've chosen instead, nothing else [11:55] aruna: python is very popular among modern programmers [11:55] StarLionIsaac: gnome-appearence-manager may have crashed, i used to have a similar bug [11:55] is this the offical ubuntu chat? [11:55] yes [11:55] plaza_3@ [11:55] GoldZee: it is the official support channel for ubuntu [11:56] aeon-ltd: I don't think so, the only time it's ever closed unexpectedly was when I tried to install a theme download that was corrupt [11:56] istarnes: ok thanks [11:56] StarLionIsaac: crap question, but are you logged in as your user? [11:57] fffff [11:57] aeon-ltd: Yes, I'm quite sure of that, there's only one user on the system [11:57] aeon-ltd: also I think you mean gnome-appearance-properties, not -manager, as trying to run -manager from the terminal says it doesn't exist [11:57] why www.GalaxyMu.net resolves to my VPS ip even though I don't hav any relation with it. [11:58] StarLionIsaac: have you edited the gtkrc of the theme because improper coding can cause a roll back to the default theme [11:58] aeon-ltd: nope, the theme is unchanged shiki-human, direct from the shiki-colors repository, no changes made [11:59] kire : hi [11:59] StarLionIsaac: how old is your copy? [11:59] On ubuntu, does your mother board need to be sli to run 2 graphics cards separatly? [11:59] aeon-ltd: good question. But apt-get upgrade then update shows no updates for it, so I assume it's the latest verson of it [12:00] StarLionIsaac: do other themes work fine? [12:00] aeon-ltd: no themes work at all - no matter what GTK controls, colors, or Icons I choose, it ignores it and uses the root-like theme instead [12:00] hello is this ubintu? [12:01] aeon-ltd: I managed to have some small effect on Nautilus by using GTK-ChTheme, but that was minimal [12:01] Has anyone heard of Minbuntu? [12:01] solexious: your hardware has to support whatever function you want to do. Doesnt have to do with your operating system [12:01] where is ubuntu? [12:01] where is ubuntu? [12:01] How do I change my gdm login screen theme? [12:01] StarLionIsaac: have you properly installed gtk-enigines? [12:01] Has anyone heard of minbuntu? [12:02] intracable: this is the channel for ubuntu support === intracable is now known as startdersdgs [12:02] aeon-ltd: that was my first thought, I reinstalled each of them, just to be certain, and there's been no change from that either [12:02] Or does anyone have a fix for chrome 9? [12:02] A bad guy has pointed his domain name to my VPS ip .. and it is eating up my BW. How to block it. I am on Hardy. [12:02] !anyone | GoldZee [12:02] GoldZee: 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? [12:02] fuck [12:02] ok so i have ubuntu 11.06 [12:02] aeon-ltd: after rebooting as well, to check. I did each separatly [12:02] Hi, how can I assign compiz effects such as expo to my brightside corners? For instance, If I push Super + E I go into expo mode. so I went into brightside and choosed custom command and wrote "e" and choosed a corner but nothing happends. [12:02] and everytime i boot [12:02] if I've created an SSH tunnel for VNC can I remove it? does it stay active even after I log off my ssh session? [12:02] the wallpaper changes to someting bad [12:03] what sould i do? [12:03] StarLionIsaac: check the requirements for shiki-colors it may need a extra engine === startdersdgs is now known as fedora [12:03] startdersdgs: 11.6?? [12:03] aeon-ltd: it uses the same engine as human, I believe, and all the engines from the repositories are enabled already [12:03] CyL: no 11.8 [12:03] Does anyone know of Minbuntu? === fedora is now known as Guest16476 [12:03] StarLionIsaac: ubuntu is 9.10 [12:03] Does anyone have a fix for Chrome 9 graphics card? [12:03] CyL: no 11.8 [12:04] StarLionIsaac: try reinstalling gtk2 [12:04] haha no 9.10 [12:04] no rally it says 11.9 [12:04] then its not ubuntu [12:04] my freind gave it to me [12:05] its says ubuntu 11.9 [12:05] Guest16476: I'd like to see his time machine then [12:05] on teh wallpaperxs [12:05] then its wrong. there is no ubuntu 11.9 [12:05] Guest16476: there is no 11.9 [12:05] it's 9.11, kindof unfortuate connotation [12:05] 9.10 [12:05] StarLionIsaac: it could b e a date? [12:05] there's no 9.11 [12:05] Younder: 9,11 doesn exists either... [12:05] is it okey to re-post a question that hasn't been answered? [12:05] mrqismrx: yes [12:05] Hi, how can I assign compiz effects such as expo to my brightside corners? For instance, If I push Super + E I go into expo mode. so I went into brightside and choosed custom command and wrote "e" and choosed a corner but nothing happends. [12:05] wat linux am i running then? [12:05] 11.9 you mean fedora 12? [12:06] mrqismrx: but you should wait 15 minutes or so [12:06] how do i know [12:06] mrqismrx: in a sensible amount of time, sure [12:06] Cyl, too close, maybe that it why it ws released with so many bugs.. [12:06] uname -a says 11.10 [12:06] ok. just did it now when you said yes. next time I will wait longer [12:06] Guest16476: are you SURE you're using Ubuntu then? [12:07] Guest16476: what is the full output of uname -a? [12:07] uname -a says ubuntu 11.10 [12:07] running on kernel 3.2.16 [12:07] do you guys know how to assign compiz "effects" such as expo to brightside corners? [12:07] I smell a troll called neoander [12:07] Guest16476: you are getting the numbers mixed up, I think [12:07] Younder: what was release with so many bugs? [12:07] Guest16476: or you're making things up [12:07] CyL: Karmic, gento was much more stable [12:07] i just need to know i to change the wallpapfers? [12:07] wallpapers* [12:08] right click on desktop, select change desktop background [12:08] my ubuntu do not has right click [12:08] it has multitouch [12:08] Preferances->Appearance [12:08] haha [12:09] Younder: I must disagree, although I do not run gentoo, I found Karmic Koala a great release... [12:09] do you multitouch too? [12:09] Guest16476: if you want ubuntu I would download it and reinstall [12:10] CyL, well it breaks on many computers, perhaps you are one of the lucky ones? [12:10] does ubuntu 32bit version only support 3gb ram? [12:10] aeon-ltd: no change, it's still ignoring theme settings even after that [12:10] robin0800: so what my friend gave me then? [12:10] robin0800: he said its the future of os [12:10] mrqismrx: anything 32bit only supports around 3gb [12:10] CyL, It is mostly a problem with updates. A new install seems to work fine. [12:11] Guest16476: no idea [12:11] Guest16476: He was right. It is the future os ;) he he he [12:11] StarLionIsaac: do you have 2 apps that change gtk settings? [12:12] aeon-ltd: yes, the normal one, and the gtk-chtheme, which is also having no effect, but I've used them side by side before with no ill effects, changing the GTK control theme in both, and not having this problem [12:12] hi, one question: i want that all files that i will create or copy to a directory will automatically get a chmod, how to do this? [12:13] MyWay: it's called umask [12:13] Younder: Well, I'm running a fresh install... maybe I'm on the lucky side then.. ;P [12:13] thank you alankila, i'll search about it [12:13] Guest16476: Go to the System menu, there should be an entry that reads 'About Ubuntu' or About (your OS name) that should tell you what distro, and what version you're really running then [12:13] StarLionIsaac: unistall one of them (gtk-chtheme) then change settings in gnome-appearances then restart [12:13] mrqismrx: PAE capable kernels can support more memory, I guess, if the motherboard and cpu has that stuff. There's 4 GB modes also which might or might not work or be active on server kernel, I don't know this unfortunately. [12:13] CyL: it works here too [12:13] If I grab a window of a program or just a dir and just swings it around it feels a little laggish like not so smooth transition. the same if I like do expo and go into another desktop workspace. and I have had ubuntu before on a much older pc and I didn't have this then. is there any way to easy boost up performance? [12:14] alankila : thanks [12:14] mrqismrx: depends on the graphics card driver and exactly which accel options are enabled. It can take a lot of experimentation to find a good combination, and some graphics card drivers are simply not good enough. [12:15] ce_azza [12:15] mrqismrx: first in any case check that you are using the native card driver and not the 'vesa' one or an 'fb' one. [12:15] ce_azza === sale_ is now known as sale [12:15] but my old laptop was a notepad t60 with dual core 1.66ghz 1gb ram and 64mb grapgic card. now i got a sony vaio 2.25ghz dual 2 core. 4gb ram (using 3..) and 256mb ATI radeeon mobility [12:15] mrqismrx: this assuming it is a drawing lag issue; your PC may be overall slow, check 'vmstat 1' to see if there is any large IO or CPU load. [12:16] mrqismrx: also check hardware drivers [12:16] UBUNTU SUCKS [12:16] MANDRIVA RULZ [12:16] Guest16476: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [12:17] How can I prevent gdm or x server from starting after booting? [12:17] Walex: it might be using aax and not eax [12:17] ok [12:17] mrqismrx: it shows you how busy the system is (processes, memory, IO, CPU) [12:18] it aint finished yet so =) or how long does it take? [12:18] Can anyone recommend some audio transcoding software please. I want to copy a tree of album rips from one directory to another, moving the album art, etc intact and re-encoding the audio from lightly compressed flac to heavily compressed flac. Soundconverter looked promising, but doesn't allow me to set the encoder up as I would like or traverse a tree of source directories. I would prefer not to have to script the commandline tools if I can avoid it! [12:18] or does it just loops and checks for the same stuff again? [12:18] aeon-ltd: oddly, still nothing, only the gnome-panel is using the selected gtk theme [12:20] any tips for making my ubuntu faster? [12:20] StarLionIsaac: if only part of the theme is being applied this is most likely a bug [12:20] Hawk1: depends on how it is slow, I suppose (: [12:20] Hawk1: lower swappiness, disable ipv6, use lighter apps [12:21] haha its not slow at all, i just want it to go even faster , Tm_m [12:21] aeon-ltd: the theme's being applied, the panel shows that, but as far as I can tell, it's only applied to the panel - but if that's so, what's causing it, because there's been no changes to the system since yesterday [12:21] what's the proper way to confidure kde apps (fonts etc) on ubuntu? kcontrol is gone... [12:21] LXDE is pretty fast if you find that gnome starts too much crap, and get rid of firefox as browser, use epiphany-webkit instead [12:22] shot thanks guys, i'll try and give it a go [12:22] hi [12:22] lxde starts from gdm login in like 1 second, or maybe 2 seconds when cold boot [12:22] StarLionIsaac: when did this happen? what happened prior to the theme breaking? [12:23] and webkit runs in about half the ram of firefox, and javascript jit is better, so it's like double-plus-good. [12:23] #ubuntu-br [12:23] aeon-ltd: since I first logged in this morning. I only noticed it when I started nautilus, and from there, I discovered that everything but the panel has been ignoring the GTK selection [12:24] aeon-ltd: Nothing's been changed my session last night, and all I did then was install the alien package for one use [12:24] alankila: I've read how to apply umask to all users, but how to apply it only to a directory? i couldn't find this === jim is now known as Guest95496 === Guest95496 is now known as jimbauwens [12:25] StarLionIsaac: did you uninstall the package and alien? [12:26] Could I ask about the fglrx driver on 9.10 or is there better support in a different channel? [12:26] aeon-ltd: no, and it was only alien I installed. afaik, alien is just for converting packages. I used it to convert one .deb to .rpm to test a theory on a fedora laptop, but that was all [12:26] seems there is no acceleration support for fglrx on 9.10 [12:26] glxinfo says "X Error of failed request: BadRequest" [12:28] Hi, I install an hour ago bootchart, but now I uninstalled it because it made my computer boot about 5 times slower. I have a AcerAspire One. Did this happen allready to one of you guys?

[12:33] I haven't done, to my knowledge, anything that would justify that [12:33] Does anyone know how to listen from the line in input with Ubuntu 9.10? [12:34] Salvad, hmm, what do you want? [12:34] To listen from in "Line in" input. [12:34] ah ok, no idea then [12:34] so my question would be...does anybody know how to lift this ban or whom to contact concerning this? [12:35] I've tried the 'contact the administrator here' option to no avail [12:37] so...nobody knows anything :) [12:37] Hi everyone, what do you propose for developing with C++?

[12:51] how do I change a label for the partition of my thumb drive? === timber is now known as cgaldino [12:51] where I must put it [12:51] CyL: gparted usually can do that. [12:52] grawity: sorry, I did not specify it was on the command line [12:52] CyL: If the partition is FAT32 you'll need dosfstools, for NTFS - ntfsprogs, I think. [12:52] Ramu, usually you just install KDE or Xfce or Gnome, not all of them together. I suggest you keep only one of them. Afterwards, try "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoremove" from the commandline. Another useful tool is Applications->Accessories->Disk Usage Analyzer [12:52] CyL: So dosfslabel, ntfslabel, and e2label.

[13:04] Anyway to fix that ? :/ [13:04] Adam, try the 64bit Alpha of Flash [13:04] titan__; I believe I am :/ [13:04] MyWay: For example, if you do "chgrp family ~/photos; chmod g+s ~/photos; touch ~/photos/something", then ~/photos/something will have "family" as its group. [13:04] #ubuntu-tr [13:05] thank you grawity, now i've learned something new :) [13:05] You downloaded the 64 bit alph and placed the file in your .mozilla/plugins folder?

[13:07] so, I can now shutdown a windows-pc wit net rpc shutdown, but can I also make the win-pc go to stand-by or hibernate? [13:07] how to build java on ubuntu ? [13:07] Adam, so you actually went to Adobe's site, downloaded their 64bit Alpha Flash version and copied the one file that came with the download into your $HOME/.mozilla/plugins folder? All after making sure you had removed any previous versions of flash? [13:08] monolith, no worries. Its just still too expensive for what you are getting, and they really don't live up to the hype at this stage. [13:08] titan__; yes [13:08] Younder: thx very much, I will try it [13:08] hi! Will I be able to make a Windows-pc on my lan go to standby using terminal, exactly as I can if I had a second windows-pc with cmd? [13:09] titan__; Or acctually the file couldn't be found at adobe's website.. but found it elsewhere [13:09] seems alot of ppl have almost the same issue as me [13:09] mha2908: how do you do it from a second windows pc? [13:09] Adam, hmmm... well in that case, in my pretty limited knowledge of Linux, I would say, seek help from one of the pro's here.. I try to stick to helping the newbs, and you don [13:09] don't seem like one. [13:09] hawk1, i am about to buy a new laptop... so i thought it would be really cool to have ssd. i dont need many gigs for what i use.. so its really forking over $280 for the novelty. but seems like its not worth it. [13:10] titan__; prob need to build smth gah [13:11] monolith, it might be cool if you move your laptop alot. no moving parts and stuff. but i still get the feeling its a bit too new. rather wait for the tech to mature a little. Don't wanna sit with a white elephant 6 months down the line [13:11] Adam, perhaps... but I have my wife running on 64bit ubuntu 9.10 with 64bit alpha flash, there is only one flash site we have found to have a problem with. The NCIS TV show website likes to crash the browser when you are watching your show and it goes to commercial. [13:12] #ubuntu-cz [13:12] Adam, how are your graphics drivers? Have you got NVidia, ATI or Intel integrated? [13:12] i bought the big IntelMLC drive for my laptop... noregrets. booting is like lightning.

[13:14] titan__; Nvidia [13:14] titan__; The error your wife experiences is the same on Windows 7 [13:14] monolith, depends on what you willing to spend. I have a core i7 desktop and it is lightning. but for a lappie core duo would be fine [13:15] Adam, do you have the latest NVidia drivers? The ones from the NVIdia site, something like 190.xx? Let me check the actual version. Or did you use the ones from the repositories, 182.30? === cory is now known as Guest52316 [13:15] titan__; I'm using the 1.85 prep.. I know there's 1.9 out on the web, you suggest upgradfe? [13:15] hawk1, well i dont have a deskptop, so this is my one computer. but i don't do any gaming.. most run ubuntu and do some coding in ruby [13:16] Adam, I have her on the 190.xx one, or whatever is newest, no problems... but that's no promise it will fix your issues. [13:16] but the worry is few years down the line duo will be outdated [13:16] titan__; I will upgrade just in case [13:16] Adam, you do know how to install them from actual file and not repositories right? [13:16] hi, in older Ubuntu I could find the desktop settings in preferences. Where do I find it now? (don't want to see mount points on desktop, I DO want to see trash bin) [13:16] monolith, core duo will be perfect. I have an atom in my netbook and it runs full ubuntu like a dream [13:16] cool, thanks hawk1 [13:17] hello i have a laptot with video chipset Intel GMA X4500MHD, and when i try to install or boot on live i get black screen :s [13:17] How does xubuntu compares with ubuntu regarding repositories and community support? [13:17] titan__; ofcourse ;p [13:17] Adam, kk just making sure. I figured you did =P [13:18] juste after start install i get a black screen [13:18] Cyl, its the same repos, you'll get the same support on ubuntu-forums. so its pretty good [13:18] with live i dont get terminal with crtl+alt+f1 [13:18] CyL, I think it uses most of the same repositories, but don't quote me on that, I am still pretty new to Linux (5 years is still a Linux baby) [13:18] Looking for such a program for Ubuntu 9:10 Do?

I haven't tried xubuntu on this one, but I did try it on an old notebook... I was not impressed. I figured it would be alot faster. It may have just been that the notebook was just too damn slow. It had a celeron >.< [13:21] Adam, just a sec, let me get a link. What NVidia card do you have just to be sure.

[13:38] sopos: sudo passwd root will do it but you shouldn't, it allows you to do aother nasty things which ubutu tries to protect you againt [13:38] titan__; I don't know === snoy_ms_ is now known as snoy_ms [13:39] is there maybe some chart somewhere of this channel with avg online users / time [13:39] awfullone, I don [13:39] c0p3rn1c: not that I know, why asking? [13:39] sopos: so do this instead: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-450960.html [13:39] awfullone, I don't think it can, but you might ask around someone more experienced with VMware may be able to give you a 100% answer [13:40] Younder: What kind of nasty things? [13:40] Tm_T, isnt this channel a nice ubuntu community growth meter [13:40] anyone know of a company that offers free ubuntu virtualisation so i can test something? [13:40] titan__; Is the HD flash player really that demanding? Computer almost freezes [13:40] CyL, corrupting the image, and in other ways diableling the abillity of ubuntu to boot [13:40] Adam, lol when you switch audio, where do you get this error? Does a window pop up or what? [13:41] can i login to root@ubuntubox via ssh please? keeps giving me wrong password [13:41] Younder: Couldn't he do that using just sudo? [13:41] titan__; No in dmesg [13:41] titan__; I'm sorry. I'm not native english speakin [13:41] CyL, yes, and he should [13:41] c0p3rn1c: unfortunately just number of clients in channel doesn't give much reliable data, also you might like to discuss this kind of things in #ubuntu-irc [13:41] yancho: by default, sshd disallows logins as root. === arianit_ is now known as arianit [13:42] Tm_T, right thx [13:42] grawity, from where to change it please? i need to be able to shutdown remotely using ssh key [13:42] hey guys wtf is Google Chrome going to be released for linux?! [13:42] CyL, my point is that it give a subset of the root options that is dufficeinet, but has less potential for disaster [13:42] yancho: /etc/ssh/sshd_config - "PermitRootLogin without-password" [13:42] Younder: what I mean is why shouldn't we set a root password if we can still do all sorts of nasty thinks using sudo (that's a doubt I have)? [13:42] Adam, no I wouldn't think it would be that demanding, at least not for that system you got. It should be able to handle it but it could be a problem with the Linux drivers not being up to par yet as that is a very new graphics chip from NVidia. Ok can you give me a full detail writing of the exact error you get with the audio changing? [13:42] yancho: That will allow root to login, but only when using a SSH key. [13:42] yancho: Not a very smart idea though. === Fayntic is now known as |Fayntic| [13:43] anyone know of a company that offers free ubuntu virtualisation so i can test something? [13:43] ok great grawity :) its on an internal lan and im not distributing keys [13:43] titan__ : I have ati x1400 with 2 gig ram also I haven't this problem with 9.04 [13:43] titan__; hda-intel: Too big adjustment 32 [13:43] Ubuntu appears to have port 1720 enabled. Is there another better way of disabling it, other than blocking with ufw or iptables? [13:43] yancho: Btw, in case you aren't aware of that, it's possible to only allow a single command for a SSH key. === |Fayntic| is now known as Fayntic [13:44] grawity, and is it set in the config too? [13:44] CyL, well I confess to have set mine, because it allows recovery mode to et me log in in text mode. And if things are that BAD i probaly need it. But normaly I use 'sudi -i' [13:44] lenswipe : I think you must virtualbox but I use vmware server2 (is free , but not open source ) [13:44] trying to re enable wifi on an Acer laptop (running the eeebuntu, based on 9.04 if it matters), where do I start? [13:44] yancho: No, that would be set in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [13:44] sudo [13:45] ok .. first im checking for root login [13:45] karname, well what it is, i want to test something with a software package but i dont want to do it on my actual ubuntu box because its a production box and i dont have any dev boxes around [13:45] karname, sorry got distracted. It sounds like an issue with the graphics driver. I have never installed graphics drivers for ATI on Linux, however you might be able to get into the x windows if you change your x.org file in your X11 folder to use a vesa video driver and not whatever it's trying to use. Then you could get into X and try to download and install the latest Linux drivers for your ATI card. [13:45] grawity, what im seeing is that : allowrootlogin was on already [13:45] yancho: ? It's "PermitRootLogins". [13:45] yancho: also, Ubuntu comes with the root account locked - unless you unlock it manually. [13:45] grawity, PermitRootLogin yes [13:46] how can i test if i unlockedi t or not please grawity (most prob i didn't) [13:46] !give me a test [13:46] Oh no, I won't, I'm not like some of those nasty scripts' users! [13:46] yancho: Have you ever set a password for root? [13:46] grawity, it's inspired by windows... [13:46] Fayntic, hi [13:46] grawity, not sure i did during installation [13:46] Younder: What is? [13:46] titan__: no , I didn't say about changing or install graphic (this is information from my hardware) , I have problem with fresh install of ubuntu [13:46] Hi, I am having trouble with vsftpd. I don't see a home directory of ftp user (/home/ftp) after installing it. So, I don't have any sharing directory. [13:47] shredder12: Maybe it's /var/ftp? [13:47] yancho: It never asks for a root password during installation. [13:47] i am trying to install sagem fast 800 modem when i did modprobe ueagle-atm should get the result like that usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] modem operational [13:47] usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 43e2ead7 [13:47] grawity, ok so then i never set a password for it [13:47] but i didnt get no thing [13:47] grawity, limited access, who introduced this with windows 2000 to protect users from themselves [13:47] grawity, no its not [13:47] Younder: It was introduced much earlier - Windows NT 3.1 [13:48] grawity, anyhow it is a good idea.. [13:48] Adam, it may be a permissions issue. Try this, do this command in terminal, "sudo usermod -aG audio 'username'" So like for me the command would look like this: "usermod -aG audio titan" or for you maybe "usermod -aG audio adam" If you use adam as your user name. [13:48] lenswipe : if you want to do simple work virtualbox is better , vmware server has web gui and better for network and remote control [13:48] karname, ah ok thanks [13:48] grawity, I stand corrected, should be BY windows 2000 (I didn't care before..) [13:48] how can i get my modem get aperated ? [13:48] lenswipe : i think virtaulbox is opensource and vmware is not [13:49] Younder: And Unix had that from the very beginning :] [13:49] yh [13:49] karname, on a fresh install of ubuntu or an upgrade, the graphics drivers often need to be redone. If you can't get into x, this is most likely the case. [13:49] i am trying to install sagem fast 800 modem when i did modprobe ueagle-atm should get the result like that usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] modem operational [13:49] usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 43e2ead7 but i got nothin [13:49] titan__; Done [13:49] tkt [13:49] yancho: So if you are sure what you're doing -- "sudo passwd root". [13:49] yancho: But it is not recommended... especially if your server allows root logins with password. [13:49] Gravity: actually root aceess in early unixen gave you access to all unix macines [13:50] Younder: All? [13:50] titan__: I can boot my laptop with recovery mode = > resume => sudo startx , but in normal boot after grub I see only blank screen [13:50] grawity, any other suggestions to send a shutdown command via a remote ssh please? [13:50] Gravity: hence the sid.. (You see it if you try to write to the disk from a CD boot) [13:50] Gravity: ALL! [13:50] yancho: send a "sudo halt" and have it be nopasswd [13:51] i have tried vsftpd on all the last 3 releases and after installing a default sharing directory /home/ftp was created but somehow tht's not the case in jaunty.. may be I messed up something.. anybody using vsftpd in jaunty? [13:51] yancho: "PermitRootLogin without-password" -- and then add this to root's authorized_keys: [13:51] karname, oh ok I see. I wouldn't know then, sorry. [13:51] yancho: command="poweroff" ssh-rsa BLahblahblah [13:51] Gravity: This is way 70's [13:51] grawity, so i do not set a passwd to root like this right? [13:51] yancho: (replace ssh-rsa blahblahblah with that SSH key) [13:51] titan__; Less good news, comp won't boot [13:52] Adam, try the audio again and see if you still get the error, I think you might. I am still reading up more on your error, I may have soemthing else for you to try in a minute if you are still having the problem. [13:52] titan__; np soz i have to much on my mind [13:52] can I have a long cmd (ex. ls -R /) running on display :0.0 and move it to a non-X11Forwarding (plain ssh)? [13:52] titan__; usb hdd was in [13:52] Adam, lol ok, you scared me there. [13:52] Younder: While Administrators cannot override ACLs like root can, they still can take ownership of any object. [13:52] acomobile: if you run it in screen, yes [13:53] what could be a reason of "The following packages have been kept back" and where can i find it? === Robin is now known as Guest36565 [13:53] Younder: Feh. Both OSes have their own advantages and disadvantages. [13:53] how (screen ls -R /)? [13:53] grawity, after changing permitrootlogin do i need to restart sshd? [13:53] yancho: Yes. [13:53] acomobile: yes - then ctrl-a, d to detatch it to the background. screen -r to reattach on the other display [13:54] hi [13:54] grawity, rules are different from LAN administrators that for machiene administrators [13:54] acomobile: You cannot move already running processes. (It might be possible with cryopid, but doesn't work all the time.) [13:54] acomobile: if you type screen by itself you'll get a new bash shell - this is the way I normally use it [13:54] hi please help my laptop has about 10 C more temperature than using Vista. [13:54] Hi, anyone here I can pm, who is knowledgable, on boot loaders? [13:54] using Ubuntu laptop is hotter why? [13:54] titan__; still there ;/ [13:54] titan__; I believe that the main issue to this problem is Spotify [13:55] Adam, try this "sudo pulseaudio --kill " don't reboot after the command, just try the audio and see how it is. [13:55] /me is now known as acovrig [13:55] anyone? had this issue for a while. [13:55] mynameguy, That sounds very wrong.. Normally the load should be lower [13:56] Adam, are you running Spotify in wine? I notice they don't have a Linux port. [13:56] Younder: I loaded Linux OS in 2 laptops, Ubuntu and Fedora in both my laptops, Linux OS has 10-15C higher temperature than Vista installed [13:56] titan__; E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/joja not ours. E: main.c: Failed killin demon: Access denied [13:56] and increasing temperature [13:56] titan__; yes [13:56] Adam, you used sudo with that command right? [13:56] mynameguy: probably a gpu/driver issue. [13:56] titan__; But I believe flash causes this issue also [13:56] titan__; yes [13:57] !ask > samosa [13:57] samosa, please see my private message [13:57] hey all [13:57] titan__; I'm translating from my native langugage so It might not be exactly the same, but 99% [13:57] Adam, in winecfg, do you have alsa selected as the audio driver to use? [13:57] somosa: I am talking CPU temperature [13:57] oh. [13:57] mynameguy, sounds like a problem with the power management [13:57] everybody, how to tweak or optimize ubuntu maximum, ubuntu so heavy with slackware or backtrack ? [13:57] Adam, it's ok, you are doing great, can't even tell english isn't your first language. [13:58] Younder: Power management looks to be major concern in laptops running linux? [13:58] somehow Vista seems to do a better job in Laptops than liux [13:58] mynameguy, for a educational try: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement [13:58] Adam, wow - what translation software? [13:58] titan__; I ran winecfg, pressed the audio bar.. It said "No registry sound driver has been found - wine will set one for you etc" [13:59] Adam, then you press it again, and see if alsa is selected. [13:59] MYNAMEGUY : i have coolest cpu and quitter fan in ubuntu [13:59] titan__; Now It seems alsa-driver is the main driver [13:59] karname: what CPU are u using? [13:59] m3onh0x84_: didn't understand, ??? [14:00] hey i'm trying to find a program or script that finds duplicate directories, does anyone have any suggestions [14:00] mynameguy, ubuntu works just fine in 2 laptops of mine, did you try knoppix? [14:00] mynameguy : interl T2500 with harder work ! [14:00] !resetpanels | petsounds [14:00] Adam, do this command, same as before, but without sudo "pulseaudio --kill" [14:00] petsounds, please see my private message [14:00] mynameguy, 10 C is not that critical. You need to get above about 130 C before you see failure. However it can reduce component lifetime [14:00] *intel [14:00] i've tried using fdupes [14:00] Adam, then play with the audio and see what you get. [14:00] though it only finds files [14:00] epinky: I installed full package of slackware but slack still light, but ubuntu so heavy [14:01] backtrack 3, backtrack4 has more than 100 apps , it still light ? [14:01] i've been trying to google up an answer to this [14:01] though i can't find it [14:01] the thing is that I want to use Linux on my Laptops but cause of this bad temperature I dont want to install Linux [14:01] mynameguy, ubuntu works just fine in 2 laptops of mine, did you try knoppix? [14:01] does someone know how i can export an environment variable in a Makefile? === danopia_ is now known as danobook [14:01] is that another Distro? [14:02] m3onh0x84, ubuntu is heavy, it supports a lot of hardware out of the "box" and has lots of apps. Sometimes i think it's too heavy, but that's why there is Slack right =P [14:02] m3onh0x84_: use rcconf to disable some services, I think slacky has none by default [14:02] no, a different KDE flavor [14:03] personally I like GNOME better, but knoppix seems to work better on some systems [14:03] titan__; Seems all is okay now, can even almost run HD flash without a fleak [14:03] which is the Distro which does not destroy the CPU in Laptops? [14:03] by heat [14:03] titan__; Perhaps overclockin the cpu a bit will do the trick [14:03] direct me to a chatroom for unix noobs [14:03] almost all Linux Distros destroy the CPU or the GPU by powermanagement issues [14:04] epinky, I installed sysv- , chkconfig can tweak system but my ubuntu still heavy :D [14:04] how do I edit the grub menu.lst file? it does not exist in /boot/grub [14:04] mynameguy, try http://www.knoppix.org/ [14:04] Adam, it seems to be an issue with the pulseaudio, I had this problem with a game in wine before. Yes, do the Overclocking, and you may need to kill pulseaudio on boot. Create a bootup command for it "pulseaudio --kill" so that pulseaudio is killed every time. [14:04] epinky, forget it's sysv-rc-conf [14:04] mynameguy, try slax [14:05] mynameguy, try puppy :D [14:05] hi [14:05] Looking for such a program for Ubuntu 9:10 Do? Tun Plus 2009 - Terminal Emulation Software [14:05] ther are tons of Linux Distro unfortunately please tell me one which works well with LAPTOPS !! [14:05] m3onh0x84_: then try Lubuntu or Deli Linux, maybe you don't meet minimum requirements [14:05] Adam, you are running an Atom processor, if your bios doesn't have the ability to OC the processor, you might try using some "eee-pc" overclocking program like eee-control or something like that. It's for the EEE PC's but they have the same processor as your motherboard. Good luck with that. [14:06] mynameguy, what is ur CPU? [14:06] titan__; comes in bios i beleive.. np [14:06] Adam, even better! Sweet, give it a try and let me know how it turns out. [14:06] acovrig: Intel Core 2 Duo 7900.......it is pretty state of the art! [14:06] Ok, Long story, like 12 months ago i tryed to install ubuntu 7.10 (or was it 8.10 cant remember) but anyways, I had initially winxp, and i installed ubuntu on different partition using a usb installation, (which uses ugly hacks), anyways when i try to uninstall and delete the it seemed to remove most of it...except everytime i start windows, now it still has the two options for dual boot, i know edit boot.ini, but am not that kn [14:06] owledgable, anyways when i tryed to see what happened when hit enter on ubuntu it simply restarted (as it is uninstalled...just boot menu still left)...now i install win7 which has its own boot loader, and it also shows ubuntu, but when i press enter in that, it gives a specific file causing the problem (forgot its name)...anyways did abit of research and found a simply GUI tool called EasyBCD, which can edit the bootmenu of any [14:06] filesystem like unix/linux/vista/xp/7/mac...so i tryed that problem is it does not detect the ubuntu, only 2 OS it sees which are win7/xp . I have no idea how to remove ubuntu entry but its annoying me, and was caused by installing it, anyone know a fix for this or had similiar problem? [14:06] samosa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:06] Don't paste that long sentences [14:07] samosa are you from India origins? [14:07] acovrig: Intel Core 2 Duo 7900.......it is pretty state of the art! [14:07] 7900 ? :S [14:07] mynameguy: yes. [14:08] How do I edit the grub boot list? /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist! [14:08] I am sorry it is Intel core 2 duo 9500 with 2.60 GHZ , 800 MHZ bus speed with 6MB cache [14:09] titan__; Only questio nnow is .. how to enter bios [14:09] 9500 ?? [14:09] i dont want to destroy that CPU since I want my laptop running atleast 12 hrs a day [14:09] titan__; the sec I turn on the comp grub comes up [14:09] oh its a laptop cpu [14:09] and linux increases laptop temperature by 5C every 5 minutes [14:09] makes sense. [14:09] yes samosa [14:10] Adam, lol. Try as soon as you hit the power key, pressing escape, over and over again... if that doesn't work, try again with F1, then F2 then Delete [14:10] mynameguy: undervolt it :p [14:10] i dont know really... [14:10] so slax and Knoppix are good distros for Laptops eveveryone? [14:10] I think they are lighter than Ubuntu [14:10] gentoo [14:11] no pover management issues in them? [14:11] anyone know answer to my question ? :-( [14:11] tell me one distro......I am tired with Distro hopping and more than anything else it is destroying my laptop [14:11] mynameguy, they are lighter, but will require QUITE a bit more work to get everything working properly. I am not sure how their hardware support is. [14:11] mynameguy, are you running Firefox? [14:11] atleast knoppix runs better on my AMD Athalon 512MB RAM and a SAD SIS graphics (card?) [14:11] titan__ then it will not suit me [14:12] no [14:12] Younder: I write a simple C program and compile it using GCC and Boom my CPU temperature reaches 65 C! [14:12] mynameguy, you could try xubuntu, it is supposed to be lighter than ubuntu, but will have the same hardware support and applications. [14:12] c3l: I think it has changed place, now it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg [14:13] mynameguy, 65 % is acceptacble [14:13] titan__; Not that it matters but the screen is flickering alot during boot [14:13] but for Vista Temperature never goes above 40C [14:13] titan__; I'm not gettin into bios.. should I try to delay the bootup by settin in a usb stick with an OS on? [14:14] Adam, I get that sometimes, it's not an issue. Seems to happen more with beta drivers I think [14:14] mynameguy, gcc is much more CPU intensive than Visual C++ [14:14] anyone know how to match identical folders [14:14] Younder: that is new information for me [14:14] epinky: can i pm u? [14:14] Adam, that won't help, by the point the USB is slowing it down, it's past the bios. Let me look it up for you, what was your motherboard again? [14:14] mynameguy, look in snaptic/add-remove for an overclocking app, get it and see if you can do the oposite of overclock (send less power to the cpu) [14:15] !pm | samosa [14:15] samosa: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [14:15] Adam, found it in my history. Looking [14:15] epinky: ...i just did...no answers... [14:15] that should keep it cooler, and w/ ur cpu type/setup shouldn't slow u down lol [14:15] samosa: what bootloader are you using? [14:15] ubottu: samosa is typical indian do not worry :) [14:16] titan__; I believe delete is the correct key to hit... ion asrock 330 [14:16] um, what do u mean? (am not very knowledgeble on bootloaders) [14:16] mynameguy: lol. [14:16] mynameguy, well it is a older system. If has many immediate compile stages. A preprocessor, a compiler, and then a assembler and a seperate linker. Also no pre compiled C++ headers. [14:16] samosa: is it how did you called it? EasyBCD? [14:17] Yes, I used GUI tool to edit bootloader which was called EasyBCD. [14:17] its cross platform i belive. [14:17] er wait nvm [14:17] mynameguy, these get run in paralell, you may well be using your CPU's more. [14:17] titan__; By hitting Del fast as the wind I got into GNU GRUB, beein able to choose from dif kernels and memtest [14:17] Adam, is your computer shutting fully down or does your motherboard have some type of setting that allows it to ALMOST shut fully down but not all the way, making it boot faster? Try shutting it down, then unplugging the power, plug the power back in, boot and hit delete over and over. [14:17] sorry, only windows, but says it can like read unix bootloaders and stuff [14:17] watever that means... [14:17] samosa: is it GRUB? [14:18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyBCD [14:18] yancho: "PermitRootLogin without-password" -- and then add this to root's authorized_keys: - the authorized_keys after i ssh-copy-id from the other box right? [14:18] Adam, the grub is after bios, we need to find you a way into bios, before grub. [14:18] EasyBCD modifies the Windows Vista/7 bootloader to add support for other entries. Windows NT, 2000, and XP are supported by chainloading NTLDR; DOS, Windows 3.x, 95, 98, and Me are booted via modified versions of IO.sys and the Windows 9x bootsector; Linux and BSD are loaded either by handing off control of the boot process GRUB and/or LILO or by using EasyBCD's own NeoGrub module (which is based on GRUB4DOS); and Mac OS X is lo [14:18] aded via the Darwin bootloader. [1] [14:18] Adam, I am looking through the manual for your motherboard now, just a min [14:18] titan__; There's a "speedboot kinda thing but I believe it's turned off.. but im not certain [14:19] oh...i dont think i used NeoGrub module [14:19] titan__; you advise me to pull the cord? [14:19] hooray! with ubuntu forums i got my wacom tablet to work with jaunty :) [14:19] wonder where that is.. [14:20] ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 [14:20] Adam, ya, pull the cord AFTER shutting down, before booting back up. [14:20] In the "Diagnostics Center," it is possible to reset a corrupt BCD storage and automatically create the necessary entries for the current operating system, as well as search for and replace missing/corrupt boot files. This latter feature can be taken advantage of to install the Windows Vista BCD bootloader. [3] [14:20] EasyBCD can be used to change the boot drive, rename or change the order of any entries in the bootloader, and modify existing entries to point to a different drive. [4 [14:20] medan [14:20] EasyBCD can boot into Linux and BSD by one of two ways: [14:20] Chainloading GRUB/LILO/etc. [14:20] NeoGrub [14:20] The traditional chainloading method creates an image of the GRUB/LILO bootsector on the local disk and loads this image during boot-time in order to chainload the second bootloader which should already be configured to boot into Linux or BSD. [6] [14:20] samosa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:20] EasyBCD also ships with NeoGrub, a customized build of Grub for Dos, which can be configured by editing C:\NST\menu.lst with the standard GRUB syntax for booting into the needed Linux or BSD partitions. [7] [14:21] titan__; biggest prob is that the monitor is a 52" and i'm sittin in my sofa [14:21] . . . [14:21] this is why i want to pm :( [14:21] where do i go for help with compiling an ubuntu source package, when it tells me dependencies are broken [14:21] Adam! The key to get into bios is F2 [14:21] :( [14:21] titan__; anyways, i just did that.. [14:21] samosa: http://technoemperor.blogspot.com/2008/09/easybcd-removing-linux-grub-and-re.html , read it calmly [14:21] can i have a assistant [14:21] decora: have you typed "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename"? [14:22] titan__; Ok, that's good.. I'll try to reboot and hit f2.. fast as the wind [14:22] LjL Yes... that also fails [14:22] epinky: ok, thanks. [14:22] I was wondering wheter someone could help me configuring my VPN-Connection... I already tried network-manager-pptp and OpenVPN [14:22] im trying to set up file sharing on ubuntu [14:22] medan [14:22] decora: you mean that command fails, or compiling fails after that command? [14:22] titan__; hurray! worked [14:22] Adam, I knew it would =P [14:22] !id | cew [14:22] cew: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [14:23] LjL: sorry... E: Build-dependencies for gnome-utils could not be satisfied. [14:23] medan [14:23] titan__; How much should I overclock it? From what I've read It's stable up to 2.1 [14:23] if i try individual packages, i get things like libgnome-desktop-dev: Depends: libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1) but 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed [14:23] medan [14:24] hello, I am using ubuntu 9.10 and am wondering how to make it shut down without confirming or waiting 60 seconds? I find it difficult to accidently hit shutdown, i want it to shut down right away, is this possible? [14:24] Adam, I would try a simple 2.0 then. [14:24] helloo [14:24] hey! is there ipod support for Karmic yet? i havent found anything on Synaptic? [14:24] medan [14:24] cew: can you stop repeating that? [14:24] medan [14:25] Six_String_sense; Yes.. there's several programs whom can handle ipods, or what do you mean? === sheep is now known as lstarnes [14:25] decora: it seems to work for me on Hardy; i guess you're on Karmic? maybe it's bug filing time [14:25] hey everyone... since updating to 9.10 I'm having a couple issues: 1) ssh connections to the machine take forever (literally 60 seconds or so, even to localhost), and 2) all my videos seem to play with a strange blue hue. Anyone know anything about either of these issues? [14:25] no im on 9.04 [14:25] 9.04, jaunty [14:25] Adam: i cant transfer anything to my ipod, i have tried gtkpod and songbird. [14:25] Six_String_sense, use Banshee, it comes with ipod support and is a great program, almost feels like itunes somewhat. [14:26] hat [14:26] Six_String_sense; What iPod do you use? My (i believe fifth version) 80gb video works just fine with gtkpod [14:26] Nano, the square version. [14:26] 8bg [14:26] Six_String_sense, you will have to reformat your ipod though. It will have to be formated to work with Banshee... so you will lose your music on there. Though you can use programs to pull the music off first. [14:26] Six_String_sense: A question please. -36- [14:26] gb! [14:26] flithm: did you have a pre-existing .ssh folder? try a new user with fresh configs maybe? [14:27] LjL: thanks anyways [14:27] titan__: ok, how do i format it? [14:27] hiya [14:27] flithm: i've seen ssh taking a long time when it was set to resolve incoming ip. [14:27] Six_String_sense; http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu [14:27] Six_String_sense, after you install Banshee and all of the extras it wants to install with it, hook it up to the computer and try to do some stuff with it in Banshee, it should tell you that you have to format it and offer to do it. [14:28] Six_String_sense; Read that [14:28] Hi! How can I avoid having to type in a password when mounting a Windows partition in Karmic? [14:28] decora: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please [14:28] ssh ano@localhost [14:28] titan__ and adam: ok thanks. ill try those :) [14:28] thruxton and oCean_: thanks trying those suggestions now [14:28] i couldnt connect [14:28] :) [14:28] Hi LjL [14:29] ano, wrong window :P [14:29] hi Halabund [14:29] Halabund: adding it to /etc/fstab [14:29] What is 'pastebin'...

[14:30] epinky: that only does it for the win7 bootloader, is there a way to remove it of the xp bootloader aswell? i have two bootloaders when it first boots, it goes into the win7 bootloader, which gives choices of 1. win7 2. winxp 3. ubuntu , if i go to win7 it will load that OS, if i go to 2nd option, it will load winxp bootloader which will give a further two options 1. winxp 2. ubuntu , as you can see i have two entries for two b [14:30] ootloaders in two completely different booloaders, also I dont really like the winxp bootloader, is there a way to remove it and just use the win7 bootloader? not sure if i can as winxp was my primary / main / first partition. [14:30] * danobook likes 9.10 [14:30] i just still in ano-desktop , that means it couldnt connect to my local sshserver [14:30] LjL: standby....

I assume so, you seem to know as much Linux as me [14:34] shinran666: depends on whaat you mean by browsing the network.. if you mean 'looking for samba/shares/windows machines' the gnome file manager can do that.

I want to remove some old kernels... what packages should i get rid of apart from linux-image-(version)? [14:48] thankss all, [14:48] <_SKiTZO> im wondering if its possible to have xorg.conf back [14:49] chazco: using karmic or jaunty? [14:49] _SKiTZO: yes [14:49] <_SKiTZO> i mean i was happy when it went away .. until today when trying to have 3 monitors [14:49] chazco: which kernel version you last installed? [14:49] titan__; i logged out and in [14:49] om26er - Karmic... thinking linux-headers, linux-image and what others [14:49] how can i login to ubuntu server on a machine running ubuntu desktop, not by using a web gui or ssh but by actually logging in as you would in a business network? [14:49] om26er - Ah, i meant what other packages, i know which versions to uninstall [14:49] titan__; worked [14:49] oCean_, thanks, that worked as well :) [14:49] <_SKiTZO> about that. i first had to remove nvidia binary driver. what a piece of junk. now i am probably on some low fat nv or even vesa driver [14:49] Adam, sweet [14:49] om26er: is there an option in vlc? i am on a netbook so i still want my display to go to sleep , just not when watching stuff in vlc [14:50] <_SKiTZO> but how can i tel when i dont have a xorg.conf file? [14:50] i am sure apps can do this [14:50] chazco: header and kernel [14:50] i did uninstall old kernels by just using synaptic.. [14:50] titan__; there's this sparklin sound just before hda-intel: Too big adjustment 32 hits the dmesg log [14:50] _SKiTZO: you can add it [14:50] titan__; so much problems with this htpc [14:50] dremits: there are many ways... vnc used to be the standard (i havent done it in years though) [14:50] anyone know of an option in vlc? [14:50] <_SKiTZO> robin0800: will it then "take over completely" or will it just "assist" ? [14:50] what did the name synaptic mean? [14:50] chazco: actually if newer headers are installed older automatically get remove if you type sudo apt-get autoremove. AFAIK [14:51] <_SKiTZO> robin0800: and can i have one generated from my current setup? [14:51] decora: do you know what the standard is now? [14:51] Jack21: i don't know about that. as i don't use vlc [14:51] om26er - Doesn't seem to be the case [14:51] Adam, I figured that is what you were doing was building an HTPC when I seen what motherboard you had and such, especially when you said 52" monitor,. [14:51] _SKiTZO: assist and yes [14:51] hmm , maybe i should get mplayer? [14:52] Jack21: totem has that option i think [14:52] <_SKiTZO> robin0800: what to do to have it generate a config for me? [14:52] Pholious: i was thinking it was using 'tail -n 100 -c 101 FILENAME' (or somthing like that) checking 'info coreutils' tail invocation right now [14:52] titan__; It's really sweet :)) [14:52] totem? is that mplayer ? or the standard movie player? [14:52] Jack21: no it don't [14:52] dremits: no i havent had an IT job since 2006 [14:53] Adam, I bet! If I had the money, I would do something like that. [14:53] decora: ok [14:53] _SKiTZO: X -configure with xserver off [14:53] Jack21: use smplayer. [14:53] Jack21: its a front-end to mplayer [14:53] dremits: VNC will work though [14:53] decora: ok thanks [14:54] titan: HTTPC and 52 inch monitor.. stop trolling [14:54] om26er , ok thanks , will try it [14:54] !vnc | dremits [14:54] dremits: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

I'm not rich.. like 380 usd for the box.. the monitor I had already (bought it really cheap) then the surround system was also cheap .. so :-) [14:54] what is the the best guide to lern to be a more advance user terminal and such things? [14:54] Dr_Willis, hmm that'd be nice to work [14:54] test [14:54] decora: the thing is its not that i want to remotely control the server, i want to log on as a client of the server. does that make sense?

[14:59] dremits: well, it has been a long time since I used vnc. I think you just have to type your username/password into your vnc client, and it connects to the vncserver on the server. If you want a 'genuine gdm login screen' i think you have to do more tricks (that i have never done). sorry i dont know more than that [14:59] wahhh this tablet works sooo nice :) [14:59] decora: ok i'll look into it. thanks [14:59] om26er, well look at the reference, it contains a plethora of commands [14:59] except for the special keys :P [14:59] Younder: i never asked for command to anyone [14:59] om26er, to find out more use man [14:59] *commands [14:59] I want to bind a modifier key to some xinput device [14:59] ok [15:00] is there a gnome program that does that?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [15:14] thevishy: you could also try using the alternate cd [15:15] right [15:15] but any idea what the error is?

[15:39] user__, I think he meant 10.0.0.1 === victor__ is now known as dbk [15:39] thanks [15:39] there's only 4 parts to a dotted quad IP address [15:39] it said 10.0.01 [15:39] poutine: I fumbled around with dual-head on my laptop with ATI CCC. now those settings are stored somewhere, because even if I'm on single display, I can scroll right like there's another display (the width is twice of my monitor's resolution). where is _this_ stored? it's not in xorg.conf [15:39] thevishy, it will once installed, just not a live cd installer [15:39] that looks better [15:39] i am downloading that too [15:39] Michael221: So try pinging it. [15:39] GhotiPhud: use /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/cdrom [15:39] i will chek the new burnt cd now ...cya thanks [15:39] epinky, yes but i want a keyword inside that application's manual, specifically I am searching for 'log-append' inside of the openvpn's manual - it is a big manual, and thanks [15:39] Michael221, I really doubt that [15:40] poutine: xorg.conf has some bare minimum stuff, just the driver and some empty sections, no resolutions there [15:40] decora: http://paste.ubuntu.com/330353/ [15:40] Michael221, there's 4 parts to a dotted quad IP address, 10.0.01 is not valid [15:40] 10.0.0.1 [15:40] hey for some reason whever I go to burn a video dvd, using DeVeDe and Brasero, the audio lags by at least half a second, sometimes up to 5 seconds. Does anyone know the reason why that may be? [15:40] anteaya: use "/" [15:40] Michael221: Looks to me like you are getting bogas a DNS IP from somewhere, (more than likely the router). [15:40] Michael221: Is that your router's IP? [15:40] Hi there... I have a problem with an unclean mount of an NTFS partition.. [15:40] cemc, That's where CCC stores it if you save it [15:40] no [15:40] GhotiPhud: did you see epinky 's suggestion above? [15:40] how do i killev evolution mail i's not closing nor it is doing it's work [15:40] oCean_, sorry I don't understand the context of your suggestion, where are you suggesting that I use "/"?

Put a usable DNS IP in /etc/resolv.conf and see how you do. (like 4.2.2.2) [15:42] how do i killev evolution mail i's not closing nor it is doing it's work [15:42] anteaya: same in 'less' and 'vim' [15:42] oCean_, Boohbah thank you, thank you, that was what I was after, cheers [15:42] epinky, decora: sr0 produced the same error [15:42] aaron11, to play amr files you have to enable medibuntu repository...

[15:42] saji_: How do I [15:42] Boohbah, I knew about vim but I don't know 'less' at all, good to know, thanks [15:42] saji_: Can you guide me through [15:42] Michael221: Edit /etc/resolv.conf [15:42] bazhang : it's an emergency wanted to check my mail [15:42] anteaya: less is good for reading a large text file or a log file [15:43] anteaya: i think the man program is actually pipe through it [15:43] Michael221, sudo echo "nameserver 4.2.2.4" > /etc/resolv.conf [15:43] friendishan, asking many times repeatedly wont get a faster answer. be patient.

I'll be here.. :) [15:45] GhotiPhud: sudo cdrecord --scanbus [15:45] Michael221, should be gksudo with graphical apps NOT sudo [15:45] !gedit [15:45] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [15:45] when entering Catalyst Control Center it tells me to open it as a super user but when I launch the program I do it from the icon in the Applications menu. how can I enter it from the terminal and just write sudo before?

[15:46] Boohbah: I can see the drive mounted [15:46] bazhang: Thank you [15:46] Boohbah: but then I unmounted it to run the command [15:46] !gksudo [15:46] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [15:46] unfortunately, the manual is no help, I have to modify openvpn.config to include a path to output log files, thus far there is no command to write log files, the openvpn channel directed me to the man but it only has a command line suggestion not a syntax template for appending to the openvpn.config, I'm taking suggestions. Thanks. [15:46] aaron11, you there..... [15:46] Six_String_sense: the configuration will be fun for you; [15:47] saji_: Hi ummm... When I type that will it install the amr stuff [15:47] where is that? [15:47] Boohbah: help appreciated.. :D i have tired couple guides but nothing. gtkpod just sends error messages... [15:47] aaron11, No it won't... after adding that repository.. Go to Synaptic and serach for amr.... [15:47] epinky: http://paste.ubuntu.com/330363/ [15:48] saji_: Ok [15:48] bazhang, too many cooks ...there should be a limit set to the number of advisors when dealing with questions from new users ...I still recall fro 7 yrs ago how confusing it was when I'd get 6 different answers to one simple question [15:48] anteaya: i am reading the example opevpn config file [15:48] aaron11, then install the related packages.... [15:48] GhotiPhud: if you burn a DVD of plain data, can you read it with dd? that would rule out drive issues [15:48] anteaya: it says. 'By default, log messages will go to the syslog' [15:48] saji_: Ok And I apply for installation [15:48] aaron11, please tell me if it works... :) [15:48] anteaya: are you trying to split them into an openvpn.log file? [15:48] Boohbah, but they aren't, and I don't have any syntax [15:48] Boohbah, no, I am trying to find them [15:48] http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/trunk/openvpn/sample-config-files/server.conf === IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne [15:49] decora: I tried this on a DVD and on an audio CD that I had burned myself [15:49] decora: same result both times [15:49] anteaya: like log-append /var/log/openvpn.log [15:49] saji_: I hope it works [15:49] oCean_, yes like that, can I put that line in the config file? [15:49] Boohbah, oCean_ here is my .config: https://gist.github.com/e24fae9736e8a2df31c1 [15:50] anteaya: http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/trunk/openvpn/sample-config-files/server.conf [15:50] GhotiPhud: do those disks work properly in another machine? (ie are they known good burns?) [15:50] anteaya: the log-append line is in this example [15:50] Boohbah, oCean_ is it there and I'm just not seeing it [15:50] Boohbah, k [15:50] aaron11, I'm sure it'll.... I used to use amr by that method.... [15:50] decora: yes, they work in another laptop and in a dvd player [15:50] anteaya: try ctrl-f in your web browser :) [15:50] saji_: It does not work [15:51] aaron11, Aren't you trying it now? tell me if u encounter any probs... [15:51] anteaya: that does not seem a openvpn.conf file? [15:51] aaron11, what problem occured? [15:51] saji_: It says I need a AMR decoder [15:51] anteaya: example .conf is at http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware_source/n/openvpn/openvpn.conf.sample [15:51] I have installed karmic and my wireless is not working, how to install wireless driver for "Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315]" ?

[15:52] hackoo: search the internet [15:52] Anyone have problem with laptop's built-in card reader? [15:52] Boohbah: googling [15:52] Boohbah, oCean_ but that is the conf for the server, I am not running the server. I need to append to openvpn.config [15:52] aaron11, wait let me try it... I'll give you the exact method to do it.. [15:52] Michael221: But you more than likely have a nameserver on your network that is giving out a bogus DNS IP and you need to correct the issue. #Sorry, about the O/T thread here but... [15:52] hackoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683 [15:52] my card video is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G [15:52] ok, i'm there [15:52] CeW-cr temn [15:52] in jaunty it was working fine [15:52] by my video resolution is 800x600, before atualization was 1024x768. [15:52] Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit seen does not detect the SD card reader [15:53] Boohbah, oCean_ I'm just running the client, and I can't figure out why I can't connect [15:53] anteaya: if you are not running a server why do you care about logging? [15:53] Boohbah: thanks [15:53] I need a AMR decoder plugin so that tottem can play AMR files. Where do I get it. I tried mediubuntu respetories [15:53] anteaya: it is not due to the config file, as long as you have not modified it [15:53] anteaya: does the server work with other clients? [15:53] Boohbah, because I can't figure out why my client won't connect, I only have one error message and it's not helpful [15:53] Boohbah, apparently the guy who set up the server can get on yes [15:53] Michael221: Got it? [15:53] do you know how i would be able to do that? [15:54] but yes, i did what you said and it seems to be working now, thank you very much [15:54] anteaya: what client are you using? tried NetworkManager? [15:54] General Question: If I setup duel boot on my machine for ubuntu and windows. Will my ubuntu work slower than if it was installed alone? [15:54] GhotiPhud: so.... can you read any DVDs or CDROMs at all on this machine? [15:54] GhotiPhud: In linux or windows? [15:54] Boohbah, so far gopenvpn, I will look up NetworkManager [15:54] ido_: no [15:54] Michael221: Remove the line that has the wrong DNS IP and put one in that works. i.e. nameserver 192.168.1.1 [15:54] Boohbah: cant I do it without ndiswrapper ? [15:55] anteaya: it is installed by default in ubuntu, check your toolbar [15:55] hackoo: depends on the chipset, mostly not [15:55] Boohbah: ok [15:55] Boohbah, okay [15:55] hackoo: write to broadcom if you don't like it :) [15:55] I'm trying to debug a sound problem. My first course of action is trying to stop pulseaudio to see if the problem might be there (or in its dependencies). How do i do it? killall pulseaudio or killall -9 pulseaudio doesn't work. Are there some process around that automatically respawns it? [15:56] Boohbah: in jaunty it was working fine out of box, on installation it was showing alert to enable properitory driver. [15:56] saji_: So... [15:56] Do I have to mount a .img file to play it in ubuntu? Seems like such a hazzle [15:56] pulseaudio -k doesn't work either, neither does /etc/init.d/pulseaudio force-quit [15:56] moonlite: Use the pid [15:56] ok [15:56] moonlite: ps aux |grep pulseaudio [15:56] moonlite: ps aux |grep pulse | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9 [15:56] thanks, another question: I have only ubuntu installed on my machine.

[15:57] GhotiPhud: Good4u :-) [15:57] Boohbah, usr13: that shouldnt (and didn't) matter. [15:57] ido_: performance is not affected for either OS. They are not running at the same time or using the same resources. [15:57] I need a AMR decoder plugin so that tottem can play AMR files. Where do I get it. I tried mediubuntu respetories [15:58] ido_: Dual boot. [15:58] it respawned with a new PID though so my suspicions were correct. [15:58] moonlite: good luck, ubuntu sound is a mystery! [15:58] GhotiPhud: i would do a google for dd encyrption dvd [15:58] Even if I will install Windows on Virtual box and allocate RAM for it? [15:58] GhotiPhud: apparently some DVDs encrypt using unusual methods that confuse dd [15:59] ido_: If you have enough memory and a powerful enough CPU you can use kvm or virtualbox [15:59] decora: the thing that has me stumped is that I was just trying to make an iso of an audio cd that I burned. I only used the DVD after that failed [15:59] !virtualbox [15:59] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [15:59] Boohbah, hm thx. :) [15:59] how come when I go into display and uncheck mirror displays , it acctually says I can run with 1680x1050 which is my supported resolution for my external monitor. but when I am entering catalyst control center It found my monitor and everything but says the my max resolution is the same as my laptop screens. I want to be able to run with full resolution when using hdmi to my laptop. what should I do= [15:59] !kvm [15:59] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [15:59] !lol [15:59] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [16:00] GhotiPhud: oh yeah. hrm.... this is a long shot, what if you use dd using different block sizes, like dd bs=128k [16:00] whats the command for checking whether x is an integer ?

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [16:16] hi, how do i re-generate thumbnail images for video files in nautilus/gnome? [16:16] Bigshot_: your last message was just blank on my end... [16:16] Hi. Its really annoying that my laptop screen dims after 30 seconds of not touching the keyboard or mouse (not the annoying part) and that when it comes out of this mode, it only brings the display up to 2/3 brightness... not the full brightness it was set to before it dimmed... anyway to fix this ? [16:17] decora tx2 HP touchsmart tablet, 9.10 [16:17] Whitor: Depending on the laptop, there should be a function key to brighten the screen. [16:17] nieko nesigauna, negaliu prisijungti prie vypres chat [16:17] Whitor: Function key combination that brightens screen. [16:18] user__, yeah... But I have to rebrighent the screen like 50+ times a day! [16:18] Whitor: sounds like an ACPI error for your particular laptop [16:18] !lt | audrius [16:18] re-brighten* [16:18] audrius: Šiame kanale bendraujama anglų kalba. Jei ieškote pagalbos lietuvių kalba, prisijunkite prie #ubuntu-lt kanalo. [16:18] magnetron, perhaps [16:18] decora, you there bud? [16:19] Whitor: same here, that is when on battery.. on a/c no problems. Haven't found a solution yet. [16:19] Bigshot_: yup ... googling [16:19] Whitor: the ACPI profiles requires different drivers for almost every different laptop on the market. each new version of the linux kernel adds ACPI profiles for different laptops but it's a hard job to keep up [16:19] gparted is telling me that the boot partition on my main dirve is an empty 200MB partition on the front of the disk, not the logical partition that contains /boot. Grub boots from that extended partition, albeit *really* slowly. how do i redirect it to boot from /boot? [16:19] bazhang: what is lt? [16:19] oCean_, it does it for me while plugged in too :( I'm glad to raed I'm not the only one [16:19] decora, me g0og1ed too but no dice [16:19] IdleOne, lithuanian [16:20] bazhang: ahhh thanks [16:20] Is it possible to make ubuntu not wanting to boot my usb HDD .. its really annoying having to take it out everytime I want to boot the comp [16:20] Zilla: you need to boot from the first n of a HDD, that gets redirected to /boot at some point in the process [16:20] Adam: change boot order [16:20] ideally, you just put /boot at the head [16:20] Whitor: it's like magnetron says, it's in the acpi profiles. The strange thing is, that on jaunty all was fine for me. [16:20] magnetron: It is booting from /boot [16:20] magnetron, I've got a pretty popular make of laptop... It did work well previously ... this is a relatively new issue [16:20] Adam, what do you mean? its an opton on the boot loader? [16:20] Adam: You need to change your bios settings [16:20] Pici: It does not work [16:20] Hi just installed 9.10 and then the 64bit flash plugin from adobe and now when I go to installed the restricted extras package I not that it will also try and install flash - will it overwrite the x64 one I already have? [16:20] Whitor: how new? [16:20] oCean_, I'm on Jaunty now [16:21] magnetron, a few weeks now ? ... hard to tell [16:21] tonsofpcs, the first n? whats an n? [16:21] zilla1: but where /boot is on the drive should not effect the speed at which your PC boots all that much. [16:21] magnetron, I think it came about after an update [16:21] Whitor: probably after the latest kernel release [16:21] aaron11: What doesn't work? [16:21] zilla1: :s/n/foo/ [16:21] Bigshot_: heres a question.... can you do a 'restart'? [16:21] Sounds about right magnetron [16:22] hi [16:22] Thanks for the feedback folks [16:22] arvind, hi [16:22] usr13, its *really* odd. this is a 3500+ processor, but it boots incredibly slowly. 45 mins to get to login screen. [16:22] zilla1: what kind of HDD do you have? [16:22] decora Yes! [16:22] zilla1, wow [16:22] zilla1: Oh, well something IS wrong.

I don't want persistent installation on the stick, just the plain old liveCD, just so I can boot it from the stick [16:24] magnetron: i know it does, but for some reason on karmic i couldn't connect WEP networks [16:24] !usb | MmikeDOMA [16:24] MmikeDOMA: 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 [16:24] zilla1: But may be an entirely different issue that is causing such a slow boot.

[16:32] Bigshot_: can you plug a USB keyboard into it? my idea is to switch to a text console, do the shutdown from there, see if it hangs on a specific shutdown command. you could even try killing X from there [16:33] magnetron there is no acroread package in medibuntu [16:34] decora, thanks for you help man gtg [16:34] hi [16:34] !hi | asus [16:34] asus: Hi!

[16:37] Zilla1: its fast. [16:37] zilla1: Looking now... [16:37] hey all [16:37] heya ActionParsnip [16:39] got quiet... [16:39] zilla1: Wow, you have very complicated partitioning. Would also need to see /etc/fstab or get some idea what is where on your drives / partitions. [16:39] Are there any befefits of using the 64bit version of Ubuntu over the 32bit version besides having more RAM available? [16:39] usr13, coming presently [16:39] I have an old Dell laptop and was wondering what version on ubuntu would be best to put on it. Netbook remix? [16:40] pieces: how old ? [16:40] Anyone know what makes oss want to be so dang loud? ._. it's at 0% and everything is loud enough to rattle my windows [16:40] diddy, depends on what you do, some apps will fun faster on 64bit [16:40] pieces: what model? [16:40] 1% nearly blew my speakers [16:40] Halitech, I do everything. [16:40] pieces: depends on model,ram.... [16:40] duckinator: What is at 0%? [16:41] diddy, like what? audio and video editing? playing games, browsing the web? [16:41] Halitech, I am not sure you may want to go to the #oss channel [16:41] pieces, netbook remix needs a fast graphics card, i would put xubuntu [16:41] Deccora: like 5 year old Dell. Don't hve the specs off hand I'll tru back later when I know more. [16:41] Halitech, OK. Let me rephrase it: Are there any disadvantages of using the 64bit version of Ubuntu over the 32bit version? [16:41] diddy: data changes are faster (encoding music, dvd authoring etc) [16:41] Enissay, the command for extracting with unp : unp filename [16:41] Halitech, yes. [16:41] diddy: no disadvantages [16:41] netbook remix is not really much different ... and the netbook launcher actually is incredibly slow and unsuited for low power hardware (ie my eeepc 701) [16:41] diddy: you can install the PAE enabled desktop kernel to access more ram in 32bit [16:41] pieces: you can try xubuntu [16:41] coz_, huh? [16:41] trijntje: Ok thanks. [16:41] usr13: alsa >.> main volume..... mpd is at 75%... this is about as loud as 75% on main volume + 100% on mpd was when using pulse (which decided to just stop working) [16:41] Halitech, there is a channle specifically dedicated to oss [16:41] Iǘe accidentely activated a zoom mode, how do I disable it? [16:42] Halitech, where you type here just type /join #oss [16:42] decora: try lxde, its very light [16:42] diddy, only disadvantage I've heard of is flash is sometimes flaky (no disadvantage for me, I don't do youtube) [16:42] I've accidentely activated a zoom mode, how do I disable it? [16:42] usr13: fstab is http://paste.ubuntu.com/330396 gparted tells me /dev/sda1 is ntfs. fdisk says otherwise. that seemed odd [16:42] ActionParsnip, I am reinstalling Ubuntu after upgrading for the last couple of years. My CPU is 64bit capable so I am wondering whether I should go for it or not. [16:42] duckinator: What is PCM set at? [16:42] CyL, in compiz? [16:42] decora: when you get two panel and window decoration in normal ubuntu install nothing much is left on the screen so ubuntu netbook edition makes the use of small netbook screen more useable [16:42] CyL, [16:42] diddy: may as well [16:42] coz_: yeah I guess compiz is eneabled [16:42] coz_, I think you have the wrong person, I've never said anything about oss === _Pinnen is now known as Pinnen [16:43] usr13: 0 [16:43] Halitech, sorry [16:43] CyL, try the scroll wheel first [16:43] usr13: PCM at 0, mpd's program-specific volume is at 75% [16:43] And all programs work well under Ubuntu 64bit? [16:43] CyL: ctrl+scrollwhell [16:43] No exceptions? [16:43] CyL, or super+scroll wheel [16:43] usr13: hm, odd, it's oss-specific :o didn't realize that before [16:43] diddy: except for the adobe flash AFAIK [16:43] <_CommandeR_> diddy, just install them from synaptic or pakage manager so they install the correct version of it. [16:44] ActionParsnip: on my eeepc 701 i just disabled the netbook remix launcher ... and use the normal ubuntu menu , its fine [16:44] OkropNick, thx [16:44] coz_: it solved, thanks... i got pretty lost with that... [16:44] OkropNick, thx [16:44] duckinator, try going to the #oss channel [16:44] duckinator, if you are the one asking about oss that is :) [16:44] but to install netbook remix on an old laptop in an effort to get some kind of performance boost? i dont think it will work very well. [16:44] coz_: i am :P but i thought it was a general volume level failure at first [16:45] netbooks are much faster than 5 year old laptops and probably have more RAM [16:45] decora: lxde is much lighter than gnome [16:45] decora: for performance boost install lubuntu-desktop [16:45] decora: lubuntu=lxde [16:45] duckinator, since I am not real familiar with oss stuff my only suggestion is the #oss channel :) unless we have an oss guru here :) [16:46] coz_: mmm, i'm looking for an oss-specific mixer..might work a bit nicer than alsamixer (iirc there's a software mixer somewhere down the line, and that could be way up) [16:46] duckinator, mmm let me see if I can find one [16:46] someone said umix, but i only see aumix...which is not cooperating :P [16:47] duckinator, there's a gtk based gui mixer , but i've forgotten the name [16:47] who like 2Pac? [16:47] xorg.conf is not more used in ubuntu 9.10 ? [16:47] marcelo, not by default but if you create one it will be used [16:47] Anyone good on XBMC? I just installed it. When I browse my external hdd I get "Error 2: share not available".. everything works fine but its really annoying [16:47] marcelo, only if you generate it [16:47] usr13: and here's the /etc/mtab. http://paste.ubuntu.com/330399 /dev/sda is the drive its supposed to (and is) booting from [16:47] duckinator, there is gnome-alsamixer [16:47] BluesKaj: aumix? :P i just realized there was aumix-gtk, which is a bit more cooperative than the cli one [16:48] BluesKaj, finally it works with Xtremsplit, thanks mate for helping :) [16:48] duckinator, could be , i just use vlc for media personally [16:48] !hdsentinel| zilla1 [16:48] !hdsentinel | zilla1 [16:48] BluesKaj: i'm trying to set up mpd, i got it working but the volume nearly blew my smaller pair of speakers out when at 1% [16:49] usr13, it really would be better if you checked a factoid's existence before giving it in the channel [16:49] zilla1: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php [16:50] LjL: Ok, thanks.

[16:51] Adam: it was long back, It's weired that it's keep back ! [16:51] BluesKaj: yea, it's at like 1/5th on both sets of speakers (i have a set of 2" usb-powered speakers and a 200W stereo) [16:51] * om26er_ thinks !mp3 should just suggest to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [16:52] kfkk: I don't think notify-osd has any configuration at all. [16:52] omg [16:52] I've gnotify integrated with pidgin but when popup's appears I can't do nothing [16:52] *installing* [16:52] how can I fix this? [16:53] hi there [16:53] i need to pin point what dock application is running in a screenshot [16:53] zilla1: You should also look at dmesg for clues. [16:53] can anybody help me? :) [16:53] ajh: post a link [16:53] this is the link to the screenshot: http://beginlinux.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/turrican.png [16:53] f [16:54] ajh: docky, from gnome-do [16:54] usr13, i'll look around, and be back if i come up with a concrete question. thanks so much [16:54] ajh: my guess is either simdock or avant-window-navigator [16:54] Ljl: docky from the package gnome-do? [16:54] zilla1: sudo ./hdsentinel [16:54] I've gnotify integrated with pidgin but when popup's appears I can't open a new conversation, how can I fix this? [16:54] ajh: its gnome-do docky theme [16:54] ActionParsnip: its with no effects i think [16:55] kfkk, you do not pluralize with an apostrophe, the correct term is "popups" not "popup's" [16:55] thanks both :) [16:55] -.- [16:55] zilla1: That will rule out a hard drive problem. [16:55] ajh: unless they've split it into two separate programs/packages, which i think they were going to. [16:56] Ljl: splitting the theme and the dock up in speperate packages? [16:56] got my ipod working.. but it boots itself when taking odd from my pc? [16:56] LjL ajh it's still with gnome-do in 0.8.2 [16:56] ajh: uh, the theme? neither gnome-do nor docky is a "theme" [16:56] off* [16:56] Ljl: docky is a dock then? [16:57] ajh: as the name hints... yes [16:57] guitar-maniac, unmounting it first? [16:57] Ljl: eh okay so gnome-do is just a package with the docky app? [16:57] dalfa89: i chose from banshee that eject my ipod? [16:57] ajh: gnome-do is a application and docky is a new theme they added to it, which works as dock [16:58] ajh: no, gnome-do is a program starter, similar to Katapult by default but with a plugin architecture [16:58] ajh: why don't you type "apt-cache show gnome-do" and read the description? [16:58] Did it actually unmount? Was it still visible in Nautilus or such? [16:58] guitar-maniac, ^ [16:59] dalha89, it isnt visible anymore, when i plug it off after it says its ok, it restarts and all data remowed. i choose the language etc === lenswipe is now known as CreamAndScissors [16:59] dAlfa89_: guitar-maniac You more-than-likely will have to move the file manager off of it before umounting [17:00] usr13; meaning the banshee? i just close that before or what.. im an noob.. [17:00] guitar-maniac: Yes, close it or move it to home etc. [17:01] how do I list the cipher modes supported by cryptsetup? [17:01] need help deside what version to download to my ps3 [17:01] guitar-maniac: Any application or file manager that is trying to access a device will hamper your ability to un-mount [17:02] lmao... switching to the software mixer fixed everything ^^ [17:02] usr13: nothing... still restarts. shuold i try to format it? [17:02] duckinator, which software mixer was that? [17:02] guitar-maniac: restarts? When? [17:02] guitar-maniac: Not sure what the issue really is... [17:03] coz_: idk, i uncommented `mixer_type "software"` in mpd.conf [17:03] usr13: after i disconnect it from my pc. i choose the eject i pod option, then the ipod say, wait, and then when its done, i take it off, and then it just reboots itself [17:03] duckinator, ah ok probably now you can control it with alsamixer [17:03] upstart jobs are supposed to stop/start by using service $package start/stop? [17:03] duckinator, or gnome-alsamixer [17:04] guitar-maniac: That may be due to a power-cycle that occurs when unplugged. [17:04] usr13: how can i fix that then. any idea? [17:05] guitar-maniac: If the device is drawing power from the USB port's power output and then switches to it's internal battery, there will be power outage so-to-speak, (but I am only speculating)... [17:05] guitar-maniac: Is this when the battery is fully charged, or when it is very low, or...? [17:06] usr13: the battery is full right now.. [17:07] what ubuntu version works best on a ps3 system ? [17:07] !ps3 [17:07] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [17:08] usr13: is there anyway i can format ipod? if it uses the wrong file format? it uses ext2 atm [17:08] hi [17:08] xzibiz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3 [17:09] guitar-maniac: gparted should be able to [17:09] Excuse me, i have a question [17:09] how can i mount my D: drive from ubuntu terminal?

[17:10] they all still work, just none start at machine startup now [17:10] xzibiz: May be that support for ps3 is lagging... There are other systems that make better platforms for Linux than ps3 (ps3 will be pretty limited in capabilities, etc). === root is now known as Guest83920 [17:11] is there a command like update-rc.d for all scripts? [17:12] hey_joe: err ? [17:12] help all my problems on linux is fixed and i cant find something to waste my time :) [17:12] gparted wont recognize my ipod.. [17:12] guitar-maniac: any specific reason to use fat over another file system? [17:12] xzibiz: The ps3 has a powerful display adapter, but that is about it and I think I recall, the ps3 system had a great deal of it's display adapter capability locked out of the linux install. [17:12] hi all, I am using an external monitor with xrandr, along with my laptop, however from time to time, the laptop display dims and comes back again, dims out again after some time, I use xrandr1.3, btw before the karmic upgrade there was not a problem like this. any ideas?

[17:14] lex:can i send you a PM? wuold be easier to talk [17:14] Lucider: dons't work with replaygain its a bug I think [17:14] hi [17:14] what is the proper way to remove a PPA from a system? [17:14] guitar-maniac: sure [17:14] Monocian: simdock on my lappy [17:14] !audio [17:14] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [17:14] i want to install kde from ubuntu 9.10, how can i do that? [17:14] i mean, i installed packages from a ppa, now i want to switch back to the official ubuntu packages again [17:14] guitar-maniac: change partition ID to b FAT32 and do mkdosfs on it. [17:14] moldy: you can use software sources or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete the lines(s) from the file, then run sudo apt-get update [17:15] Manuelgop: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:15] guitar-maniac: But I am not sure that is what it is suppose to use.

[17:15] agent42: I am looking for an answer for days, I will see that thx [17:16] ActionParsnip: what i am looking for is how to tell apt to install the official packages again, not the ppa versions [17:16] moldy: can you give a pastebin of the command: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:16] hello [17:16] and with that command, i'm going to have gnome and kde? [17:16] Manuelgop: yes [17:17] anyone knows why nautilus says that i have 5 GB of free space while gparted says there's 16, in the same partition? [17:17] ActionParsnip: sure, one second.. [17:17] Manuelgop: you will chose at the login screen in the Session menu which to boot [17:17] ok [17:17] oh! thak you! ohh! yeaah! thx [17:17] :D [17:17] hhj [17:18] hi the fellows; I want to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 stable version; do you think I should back-up something?

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [17:25] how do i fix that? fsck? [17:25] Gika: unmount and run fsck [17:25] ActionParsnip: i think i can fix this, but i have another question: how do i tell apt to use the ppa for certain packages only? [17:25] Gika: I suppose [17:25] 5% of ext2/3/4 gets 'reserved' also - [17:25] You can also get hdsentinel and see what that says. [17:26] that 5% is tuneable with the tune2fs command Gika (if thats what the space you are missing) [17:26] usr13: but every 30 reboots (i think) it runs fsck automatically and it never found problems [17:26] Gika: sudo ./hdsentinel [17:26] moldy: not sure there fella [17:26] trying hdsentinel now [17:26] I have a question, I just recently bought a new computer, not a namebrand computer I built it myself. I downloaded ubuntu on my laptop and burnt it to a CD and put it in my computer. However It doesn't seem to be booting from the CD.. Any thoughts? [17:26] ActionParsnip: ok, thank you [17:26] Gika: May be that the MBR has errors. [17:26] arrogance4000: Have you checked your boot settings in the bios? [17:26] arrogance4000: how did you burn it to the cd? the bios is set to boot from the cd? [17:27] arrogance4000: change bios to boot from CD first [17:27] I have, it comes up with "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device" [17:27] usr13: hdsentinel is not in the repos, i have to download it somewhere else i guess? [17:27] !games [17:27] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [17:27] I have my CD rom as the FIRST thing to be checked [17:27] Gika: fidsk /dev/sda [17:27] Gika: sudo fidsk /dev/sda [17:27] arrogance4000: and as Dr_Willis points out, you should burn the img file to the cd, and not begin unpacking it...

[17:29] arrogance4000: You can use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive (thats will install faster then a cd) also i perfer the infrarecorder tool to burn iso files. [17:29] arrogance4000: test the cd on a differnet pc - see if it boots there. [17:29] I will look up Unetbootin, I'll be back to you in a bit. [17:30] arrogance4000: check the cd also. be sure its not got one big iso file on it :) [17:30] usr13: this is hdsentinel's report http://pastebin.ca/1691288 [17:31] I'll be back in a bit, I'm going to try boot the CD off of this laptop and see if it works...

[17:33] i get an error Cannot get colume.fstype.alternative when i try to plug my ipod in [17:33] usr13: so how do i have fix that? [17:34] might it be related to the fact that i updated from ext3 to ext4 and from grub to grub2 some weeks ago?

Also tired of my Corsair memory which wants 2.1 volts instead of 1.8 and tosses errors when you look at it wrong. Tired of RMAing the memory and am going to just write it off.

[17:37] mikey, well, I don't think they will allow me to do so, and it takes a very long time. [17:37] hy [17:37] I'm using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 [17:38] JoeBlacken: if they wont let you test the machine then you don't want to buy from them [17:38] allow? Just go browse around and pop in a live cd. I've done it [17:38] Burzmali: sudo init 1 [17:38] and I'm having poblems with Compiz, you see, when I open a 3D game in fullscreen it automatically switches to windowed mode, the mouse stops working until I quit and the display flashes [17:38] what is the command i type in terminal to install ubuntu 9.10 [17:38] why sick the bot on me, om26er_? I don't see where I missteped. [17:38] !install | shadowwulf [17:38] mka: from login okay? [17:38] shadowwulf: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[17:39] no, i mean a fresh install from a blank hard drive [17:39] is there a way to do that automatically? [17:39] what is the dif between autoremove and autoclean? [17:40] So I'm trying to start ubuntu after upgrading to karmic, and It can't find one of my network drives listed in my fdisk. I know it's not there, my computer IP changed that it's trying to get to. But I can't change it. I didn't set a root password, so I can't get in the recover console. What should I do? [17:40] mikey, there must be someone here with ubuntu on a laptop that Ubuntu run on smoothly and the drivers are available [17:40] or can I have buttons on my panel to disable and enable compiz? [17:40] mka: I know, I mean that I am dropping to a term from the login screen [17:40] shadowwulf: get an ISO and burn it on a CD [17:40] Nixot, Fusionicon [17:40] shadowwulf: you have to download the ISO file, burn a cd/use a usb key and boot from it; check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [17:40] zykoticK9: What is fusionicon? [17:41] i have the CD ... i just dont see a install icon .... [17:41] Nixot: install it [17:41] I have a dell D520 and it runs well. My lappy does not havea camera tho [17:41] thanks usr13 i'm trying that now [17:41] Nixot: and you can add an applet to the panel [17:41] Nixot, specifically it's called fusion-icon -- it give a systemtray icon to turn compiz on or off (among other things) [17:41] Burzmali: do you want to drop to a term or you are dropping to a terminal? [17:41] err [17:41] ohh [17:41] om26er_: I do believe I asked the "real" question. [17:41] good... i tried to install fusionicon and it failed, but fusion-icon is going along fine :D [17:42] I installed it... now what? [17:42] Is there a way to keep processes from entering "disk sleep" mode? Kubuntu Karmic [17:42] aha! [17:42] soap: ok sorry if that offended you. [17:42] mka: I am dropping via ctl + alt + f1 [17:42] shadowwulf: Restart your PC while the CD is inserted your PC should pick it up, do not choose to load the live cd, rather choose to Install right away [17:42] zykoticK9: OK,the icon's there, what do I do with it? [17:42] Burzmali: so what is your question? [17:43] Burzmali: Isnt that what you wanted? [17:43] aha! [17:43] Is metacity the ordinary window manager? [17:43] mikey, yeah, I can buy directly from dell a ubuntu powered laptop, though it is not 9.10 but it is good, the thing is I want to get it fast, and that one will take around 8 days to ship and probably few more to get here. [17:43] Nixot: yes [17:43] Ahh! [17:43] I think so! [17:43] Thanks :D [17:43] That's all,... bye!

[17:45] cwill747, yes, but I forgot to check the shipping option, I will check it now [17:45] Burzmali: ignore me [17:45] om26e_: yeah, 7800 gt [17:45] JoeBlacken: yeah, i don't know anything about it. I was just throwing it out there [17:45] Burzmali: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop #is probably what you need [17:45] Hi, ubuntu remix 4 is the same as ubuntu but with more pre installet programs and apps ? [17:46] Burzmali: nvidia loves linux, dude [17:46] Burzmali: you may want to try 'sudo service kdm stop' [17:46] Burzmali: Using KDE? [17:46] too5hort: Not really. The remix is for netbooks, and is a lighter version of ubuntu [17:46] usr13: no [17:46] Okay, So I tried to see if it would boot on this laptop, and it was a no-go... So I downloaded and installed unetbootin and put it on my USB key. My computer is not sitting at "Checking NVRAM.." and has been for about 2-3 mins now. [17:46] bradpitt: Gnome? [17:46] Burzmali: Gnome? [17:46] Now^ [17:46] arrogance4000: sounds like your pc has issues.. [17:46] Burzmali: does: gksudo jockey-gtk not offer you a driver? [17:46] usr13: yes [17:46] but the installation file is nearly 1gig ? [17:46] too5hort: If i recall, it actually doesn't have all the applications as the normal version. It's meant to run on a system that has very little memory or a ligher load [17:47] Burzmali: sudo service kdm stop [17:47] Burzmali: could use this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [17:47] Burzmali: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [17:47] too5hort: You are talking about the netbook remix right? [17:47] my guess is nvidia-glx-173 would be recommended for Burzmali [17:47] Burzmali: Or something like that..

Any way to do that? [17:51] ranjan: See how you have the partition mounted # cat /etc/fstab [17:51] usr13: I'm pulling down the driver now [17:51] too5hort: i think it is a Swedish remix: "Ubuntu.se Remix 4.0" === ganesh is now known as Guest95092 [17:51] ranjan: pastebin /etc/fstab #if you want us to see [17:51] !test [17:51] yes, I'm alive. [17:51] ardchoille: there may be some 'xdg' tools to generate a windowmaker compatiable menu config, or you could run the gnome-panel and have full access to the panel/gnome menus and stuff [17:51] Burzmali: What are you installing? [17:51] LjL: Ah thanks for the update, but if i install it, i can still update it to a new ubuntu version, if its released, it just comes with more pre-installed packages? [17:52] too5hort: if it *only* comes with packages from the official Ubuntu repositories, i guess you can. [17:52] nvidia_glx_173 [17:52] !nvidia | Burzmali [17:52] Burzmali: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:52] when i tried to add medibuntu repository its saying "public key is not available" [17:52] too5hort: but i'd recommend using the official version of Ubuntu, really. [17:52] ranjan: does it show in terminal? [17:52] Dr_Willis: Hmm.. running the gnome panel would cover my iconbar I think [17:52] Is it okay to ask for something that is linux related but that not goes under ubuntu OS [17:52] I'll have a look at the xdg stuff [17:52] ardchoille: you could make it auto hide. [17:52] wbc: not quite... try ##linux [17:52] Dr_Willis: Oh, that's a nice idea :) [17:52] Burzmali: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 then reboot [17:52] ActionParsnip:: ya [17:52] ranjan: what if you delete it there? [17:53] LjL: Ah okey well thanks for the answers man ;) [17:53] ardchoille: ive not used windowmaker in ages. :) [17:53] usr13 Actionparship: no luck, graphics still corrupt at login.

Always fixed before by installing restricted [17:54] rm [17:55] Burzmali: Try what om26er_ says... [17:55] ranjan: you need to use 'cd' to change directory to the place where thefile resides [17:55] ok [17:55] ranjan: then use: rm -rf folder_name [17:55] how to add medibuntu repository?

[17:57] ActionParsnip:: it's in the mounted partision so should i go with sudo [17:57] Burzmali: You can always boot to linux single [17:57] Dr_Willis: which brand? [17:58] usr13: how?

Isn't that a bit like worrying that burglars will break in and do the washing up and vacuum the carpets? [17:59] Rods_Tiger: system tasks need password.. plain and simple.. [17:59] anyone with a recent ati that has a stable experience and runs games and compiz? [17:59] no they don't [17:59] Rods_Tiger: theres tools to set up auto dateing. [18:00] om26e_: no luck [18:00] Rods_Tiger: check out sudoers configing and tweak it if you want [18:00] question - i have an intel 64 bit cpu, with the 64 bit amd iso work on it? new to 64 bit platform. thanks [18:00] will the.. [18:00] it's my computer, I'm here, nobody else is, there's absolutely no requirement for checking my passport and papers [18:00] Rods_Tiger: then disable the password stuff.. because you are a single user.. dosent mean I want that to be the default on my pc, or my work servers.. [18:01] ActionParsnip:: it's not working with that comand and nither it is giving any error msg... [18:01] Can i install ubuntu and after windows? [18:01] how do I disable all password related stuff? get rid of the password itself, or is there a different way of hiding it? [18:01] Burzmali: you can still get vesa mode...just replace nvidia with vesa in xorg.conf...or if you mean on the live cd, if you press f4 (I think) you can select safe graphics mode before booting into the live environment [18:01] Rods_Tiger: check the 'sudoers' system/command/configs is one way. theres also services/tools i recall that can auto-install updates if thats all you are worried about [18:02] ok, ta [18:02] gRaCiOsO windows will screw up the bootloader [18:02] meaning you then have to reinstall it [18:02] it doesn't even have an account in my name - the user account is called 'user' and the password is 'password' - and that's tedious enough [18:02] * jackey please help me ,how to use naim [18:02] mikerose357, and how to get it again? [18:03] Dr_Willis: I know the feeling. :) [18:03] /join #linux-it [18:03] Burzmali: You will probably find xorg.conf.failsafe or something like that with Driver "vesa" in it and you can just switch to it. === crohakon is now known as crohakon|afk [18:04] hi, i disabled all sound events in gnome and even uninstalled pulseaudio :) [18:04] Burzmali: cd /etc/X11 ; sudo mv xorg.conf.falesafe xorg.conf [18:04] firefox still insists on creating a sound when poppoing up some dialogs [18:04] how to turn that off? [18:04] the menu is as unhelpful as ever [18:04] usr13: no xorg.conf files present [18:04] ActionParsnip:: it's not working with that comand and nither and it is not giving any error msg... [18:05] tapas: well.. if you had kept pulse audio installed.. it has a feature to configure 'sound volumes' on a per app basis i recall.. but since you removeed pulse.. :) no idea. [18:05] gRaCiOsO: yes you can [18:05] so is there any solution [18:05] Dr_Willis: hehe :) [18:05] Burzmali: xdebconfigurator - A script used with debconf to autoconfigure xserver-xorg [18:06] !xdebconfigurator [18:06] Burzmali: try nvidia-xconfig to generate one if you don't have it [18:07] Burzmali: Yes, try trism's suggestion first [18:07] ActionParsnip:: should i post an bug report for this problem [18:08] Burzmali: You might also find nvidia-installer which might have the nvidia-xconfig as a part of it. [18:08] usr13, ok one of my drives has a health of 16%, and Est. Lifetime of 45 days. that says to me HD failure. I'll get rid of it. but my main drive is at 100%, and there is a slow boot issue when I have just that one in [18:08] hi. i'm hoping to enable thumbnails only in specific folders, preferably by storing the created thumbnail files inside the specific folders included for thumbnail creation (and not ~/.thumbnails). is any part of this possible? [18:08] If i want to use Dolphin as my default file manager how would i change the links in the Places section of my panel [18:09] this is on gnome 2.28/ubuntu 9.10 [18:09] !pastebin [18:09] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [18:09] if i format a my memory stick from my psp ubuntu won't read it and gives the error. http://imagebin.org/73282 [18:09] Timmymayes: i belive setting that up is a bit complex sadly. ive seen some guides on doing it. and you had to change several files [18:09] and if i format memory stick from ubuntu then psp won't read it [18:09] anyone here good with beryl or compiz or equivalent window manager. i am purchasing a new laptop with nvidia card, and would like some links if possible or a heads up prior to installing ubuntu on it. anyone? [18:10] om26er_: format it to be fat32/fat16 and it should. [18:10] Dr_Willis: tried both [18:10] om26er_: the default cards are fat32 from what i recall. but i no longer haave a PSP so cant check [18:11] Dr_Willis: psp formats it to fat16 [18:11] om26er_: that will be a issue with people playing their huge video files :) but sony knows best.. (yea sure they do) [18:11] :) [18:11] zilla1: That may very well be the problem. I had a PC once that had a bad slave drive drive and it was trying to boot but just didn't seem up to the task, but when I un-plugged that drive it booted fine. (When I took the cover off, I could hear that the drive was noisy as it booted, and that was the clue that told me it was a HD problem) [18:11] I'm trying to use dhcp3 server on one one of my ethernet cards but I can't get no joy. Server starts normally but does not pass out any addresses. I can config a host with a static IP and that works ... just no dhcp:) [18:12] when i run apt-get update i am getting the error public key not available :NO_PUBKEY 57B0CE6D09827771 [18:12] om26er_: I always just plug the psp in with a usb cord and go to Settings/USB Connection...works fine [18:12] nocleader: Sure.. Just use an IP that is outside dhcpd's pool [18:13] Perhaps I can get a fresh set of eyes on this ? http://pastebin.org/58165 [18:13] ActionParsnip:: i have found an one pecilure thing on my system :: i removed an multimedia file from mounted drive from grafics mode but's it's entries are yeat present in comand proment ifound it when i used ls [18:13] user13 Yes, that's how i did the static just to verify my cabling. [18:13] trism: one memory card works and the other don't but both worked in a friends winxp system [18:14] om26er_: strange, I have 3 different cards and they all work [18:14] nocleader: So it is just not getting IP information from the DHCP server when you boot? [18:14] trism: and also didn't work on fedora on my brothers pc. so maybe something with kernel? [18:15] user13 Hmmm did not try a boot ... just a release and renew ... lemme try that [18:15] Dr_Willis: its actually quite easy... just modify /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop and change one line from Exec=nautilus to Exec=dolphin [18:15] Hi [18:15] thank you google [18:16] nocleader: No need for that [18:16] !hi | Alinn [18:16] Alinn: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [18:16] nocleader: You can just do dhclient. [18:16] is there any way that an installation of ubuntu on a usb hard drive can detect whether it's connected to a netbook or a big computer, and start UNR or the other ubuntu appropriately? [18:16] nocleader: But look at /etc/network/interfaces and see what it is set to.

[18:19] Where do i set what daemons are automatically started?... (used to /etc/rc.d on other systems, so i'm completely lost :P) [18:19] vashitn, to some degree [18:19] livingdaylight will the screen work>> [18:19] zilla1: it's "00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)" [18:20] vashitn, there are some issues, like calibration for example [18:20] duckinator: i don't know how to do that either, but maybe /etc/init.d could be related? [18:20] sudo update-grub not work for me! http://paste.ubuntu.com/330462/ what i do ? [18:20] duckinator: check in there [18:20] racecar56: that's the actual scripts to start them, i'm not seeing how to automatically start them though :( [18:20] mka, that looks like you pulled it out of the lspci output. Is it in fact listed when you run that command? [18:20] duckinator: that's what i thought. [18:20] zilla1: yes I did === cdr is now known as Guest67839 [18:21] livingdaylight so no>> [18:21] ?? [18:21] duckinator: (that's what i thought /etc/init.d was) [18:21] mka : I am assuming there isn't a linux driver for that wireless device. Have you installed ndiswrapper? [18:21] in UNR, how do I rearrange the order of icons? [18:21] Hi, is it possible to send an encoded (e.g. base64) attachment by telnet mail using the terminal? [18:21] mka : that's both the ndiswrapper-common package, and the ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 package, I believe [18:22] vashitn, calibrating the touch interface so it knows where you touched. there are plans to fix it in 10.04 [18:22] zilla1: let me try [18:22] racecar56: should've guessed, ubuntu is still using debian-style stuff, /etc/rc?.d (/etc/rc0.d -> /etc/rc6.d + /etc/rcS.d) [18:22] om26er_: do you know how i solve my problem?

[18:24] is it bad :D [18:24] mka, open up synaptic and search for ndiswapper. it'll list some similar stuff. lemme know if it doesn't; then we'll check your sources [18:24] vashitn: you tell us.. is it an error message? a mail from somewhere? something a friend told you? [18:24] nocleader: You can use network-admin to set it to auto (or dhcp) [18:24] zilla1: besides this, wasnt my card supposed to be autodetected by the sytem? [18:24] Alinn: you're using grub2, right? [18:25] cankoy: yes ubuntu9.10 [18:25] mka, not necessarily. ndiswrapper isn't even on the install CD, so if your card isnt natively supported, then it can't be automatically setup [18:25] hi [18:25] hi [18:26] racecar56: hi [18:26] sebsebseb: sebsebseb=seb128?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [18:34] I set all data correctly in the networkmanager I think [18:34] josvuk: Is the cable good? [18:34] user13 sudo dhclient eth1 does a bunch of discovers and says no dhcpoffers recieved [18:35] I want to use encrypted LVM. My hard disk is 400 GB. I was thinking about this: /boot = 300 MB, root = 20 GB, /home = 100 GB. But how large should I make the swap partition? I am planning to have 8 GB of RAM in total. [18:35] HEY! Are there any GAY Guys who wanna chat in room PHILOS!? [18:35] nocleader: sudo mii-tool [18:35] usr13 eth1 is the interface I'm interested in [18:35] nocleader: You must be connected to eth0 instead of eth1 [18:35] usr13: Yes it is good. I am now online with it but on a different computer [18:35] !boot brad_ [18:35] lol [18:35] !ot | brad [18:35] brad: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:35] Huh? [18:35] josvuk: ifconfig [18:35] So room philos [18:36] <_Pb> is there any reason my ~/.xinitrc or .xsession wouldn't be parsed? [18:36] nocleader: What is eth0 ? [18:36] racecar56: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter [18:36] usr13 mii-tool shows eth0 and eth1 are both up [18:36] sebsebseb: python [18:36] sebsebseb: :D [18:36] usr13: ifconfig don't reports me any error eth0 is listed properly [18:36] diddy: /boot = 300 MB, root = 20 GB, /home = 100 GB <- that's stupid [18:36] racecar56: what's the :D for? === brad_ is now known as bradley [18:36] sebsebseb: me likes python. [18:36] racecar56: Python that does not suprise me, apparantly loads of Ubuntu is written in that [18:36] :D [18:37] sebsebseb: i'm still a bit rusty at it but i like it [18:37] josvuk: sudo dhclient [18:37] usr13 eth0 is the usual LAN interface on my LAN; eth1 is a 2nd interface I'm using to test dhcp server [18:37] josvuk: You do have a dhcp server running, right? [18:37] diddy, /boot may or may not be needed as a seperate partition, / shouldn't need anymore then 8-10gig, swap go for 8gig [18:37] yes, it runs and with no errors... I've restarted it a few times [18:37] _Pb: the new gdm in karmic ignores them [18:38] nocleader: Are you running dhcp server on that machine? [18:38] racecar56: Python is a good first proggramming language! [18:38] nocleader: You know, you can only have one dhcp server on a network? [18:38] is there any way of switching between UNR and ordinary ubuntu? [18:38] <_Pb> trism: ah. i'm using dwm and want to use xsetroot or feh to change my background [18:38] sebsebseb: it is. [18:38] gdm will normally ignore xsession or xinitrc unless you specify it [18:38] nocleader: If you have two, you really need to turn one off. [18:39] usr13: dhclient says : send packet: network is down . what does this mean? [18:39] nocleader: I'm sorry, but have lost track of what you are trying to accomplish. [18:39] cankoy: I did this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1296225 [18:39] josvuk: It means that the dhcp server is not responding to that interface's request for IP info. [18:40] user13 Ok crap one dhcp is on eth0 I put dhcp3 server on just eth1 ... thats what I'm trying to do [18:40] sebsebseb: yay working menus :) it was worth wiping off my hacked debian lenny install [18:40] josvuk: It is not receiving any signals from the cable. [18:40] sebsebseb: yay its done fetching all those programs [18:41] josvuk: Make sure the connectors are plugged in securely. [18:41] HEY, are there ANY GAY guys who wanna chat in room SHELL? If u are a gay guy, go to room shell [18:41] usr13: nvidia-xconfig seems to have fixed the problem, yeah [18:41] usr13 ... No that can't be it I'd get wrong IP's on eth1 ... I get NO IP's on eth1 ... OK OK I'll shut the other off temp to see if that makes a difference ) [18:41] cankoy: Thanks a lot :) [18:41] usr13: The two computers are connectet to a switch, so should I quit my internet conection and try dhclient again? [18:41] Burzmali: Very good! :) [18:41] !ops | bradley, we've already told you [18:41] bradley, we've already told you: Help! Channel emergency!

I'll take this up later [18:42] Ok [18:42] Bye [18:42] sebsebseb: i never mentioned. [18:42] :) [18:42] usr13 bye [18:42] bye [18:42] bye [18:42] racecar56: hacked Debian lenny install? You mean like with packages that are quite a lot later or something? [18:42] nocleader: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:42] josvuk: And what is that switch connected to? Is it just connected directly to the DSL modem? === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [18:42] sebsebseb: no. [18:42] nocleader: ok, sorry I could not solve your problem. [18:43] usr13: Yes it is connectet directly to the dsl modem. [18:43] sebsebseb: missing menu entries, firefox took a while to start (now it seems to open INSTANTLY) [18:43] sebsebseb: i'm using gnome, previously i was using KDE 3 [18:43] sebsebseb: want to go to #ubuntu-offtopic ? [18:43] racecar56, use chromium browser.. ull love it [18:43] sebsebseb: nah [18:43] sebsebseb: i've used it before. [18:44] josvuk: Ok, that is the problem. The DSL modem will only allow one connection from one PC. You will need to disconnect the other one. Alternately you can get a router and put it in between the 2 PCs and the DSL modem. [18:44] sebsebseb: i don't really like it. [18:44] sebsebseb: i like my fast firefox now :) [18:44] sebsebseb: previously i had to use some browser like konqueror -_- [18:44] I can use 32 bit ubuntu on a system with 8gigs of memory cant I? [18:44] racecar56: I don't like off topic that much, plus a pm got started, but you ended up chatting mainly in here, which your not really meant to do, for off topic stuff [18:44] josvuk: Connect the router's WAN port to the DSL modem and connect the two PCs to LAN ports. [18:45] racecar56: above I meant the room [18:45] sebsebseb: k. [18:45] sebsebseb: i'll just use PM instead, k? [18:45] racecar56: ok [18:46] Do u guys know where I can post this??HEY, are there ANY GAY guys who wanna chat in room SHELL? If u are a gay guy, go to room shell [18:46] kubuntu 9.10, lost sound yesterday, no error messages or anything indicating any problem - just lost sound... where do I look for logs? [18:46] bradley: are you trolling? [18:46] just a quick question, i cant remember where the repositories list is in ubutu, where is it? [18:46] Bye! [18:46] josvuk: Something like this will do the trick: http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-Linksys-EtherFast-BEFSR41-Router_W0QQitemZ320452176262QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCOMP_EN_Routers?hash=item4a9c702986 [18:46] bradley, please stop posting that here, try #Ubuntu-offtopic [18:46] That guy's getting annoying... [18:46] hello all [18:47] Alan502, /etc/apt/sources.list [18:47] sebsebseb: he's been trolling for a while.. [18:47] thanks usser :D === cesar_ is now known as Guest32852 [18:47] yes he is , !trolling [18:47] does anyone know how to setup input for Japanese language? [18:47] IndianThrilla: what ubuntu version [18:47] 9.10 [18:47] one sec [18:48] llutz, why is /home = 100 GB stupid? [18:48] everything i've found on the forums doesn't seem to work for me [18:48] Hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on my family's screen, but trepare partitions step is blank [18:48] IndianThrilla: in Firefox? [18:48] scunizi: I think he means OS-wide [18:48] what is up with the CDburning in 9.10?? [18:48] scunizi: Now I saw some of that when looking at things that were just put [18:48] (but that's just me) [18:48] usr13: Hm, but I need only one internet connection at the same time per pc, so my solution with the switch should also work, and it worked with jaunty only after upgrading to karmic I have problems :-( [18:48] for any program in general [18:49] diddy: /boot = 300 MB, root = 20 GB, /home = 100 GB<- that's stupid [18:49] it worked on 8.10 but now that I upgraded, japanese input stopped working [18:49] llutz, why? [18:49] diddy: /boot = 300 MB <- that's stupid [18:49] diddy: sry [18:49] seanicus: sounds like setup is failing to detect your hard disk(s) - what output do you get from "sudo fdisk -l" in terminal? [18:49] llutz ?? [18:49] what does CDburning in 9.10 do differently that nothing can read my disks??? [18:49] llutz: stupid? why is that stupid? [18:49] diddy: even if you really need /boot, it should be 1-2G [18:49] llutz, too much ? too little? [18:49] IndianThrilla: ouch, upgrades are risky. If you go System->Administration->Language support, all the config for it is in there [18:49] diddy: 21M /boot/ [18:50] llutz, 1-2 GB? Why so much? [18:50] daftykins: I get no output [18:50] diddy: ^ that's mine (not on own partition) [18:50] usr13: Anyway thanky, and bye I have to logout of the chanel and try than dhclient [18:50] llutz, well if you want to run different kernels and such 300mb is not such a bad idea [18:50] seanicus: then it's not detecting any drives - what OS was on the system before? [18:50] is there a known issue with the CDburning software in 910??????? [18:50] microlith: yeah I checked all that. Japanese language is on but SCIM doesn't show the scim-anthy option which should allow Japanese language input [18:50] josvuk: Is it a switch or a router? [18:50] usser: most likely you don't even need extra /boot [18:50] llutz, true that [18:50] daftykins: vista. But they crashed it, which is why I'm installing ubuntu [18:50] josvuk: What type of dsl modem is it? Is it a DLS modem/router ? [18:51] seanicus: what kind of computer is it? [18:51] josvuk: If it worked before, it should work again.... [18:51] daftykins: as in, it doesn't even go to windows [18:51] usr13: It is a 5 port switch. :-) [18:51] goku: which one ? [18:51] daftykins: hp [18:51] llutz, I will use an encrypted LVM, that means I need an extra boot partition [18:51] What is the DSL router? [18:51] the system burning software and brasero software both burn CDs that i can't read [18:51] !burn | goku [18:51] why? [18:51] goku: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [18:51] josvuk: a switch is not a router.. but a router can act like a switch [18:51] IndianThrilla: I wonder if it has something to do with this iBus stuff [18:51] josvuk: What model? [18:51] seanicus: do you know what type of hard disk(s) are in the system? how old is it? are they SATA? [18:51] microlith: iBus? [18:52] goku : k3b caused no errors here [18:52] IndianThrilla: yeah, seems to be something new in 9.10 [18:52] * microlith hasn't used it much [18:52] daftykins: we got it last christmas. I dont know how to find type of harddrive or whatever SATA is [18:52] is it burning in a different format? [18:52] i can read it on my system here [18:52] josvuk: Does that 5 port switch have a port labled "WAN"? [18:52] its just that nothing else can [18:52] seanicus: you could open it up if you feel confident - what's your hardware and software experience like? [18:52] usr13: D-Link DGS 1005D [18:52] <__dean__> goku: do it the manual way [18:52] daftykins: I am not confident at all. [18:53] kubuntu 9.10, lost sound yesterday, no error messages or anything indicating any problem - just lost sound... where do I look for logs? [18:53] I want to install 8GB of RAM and will install the 64bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 now. Does that mean I should make the swap space 16 GB? [18:53] I have no hardware experiences [18:53] IndianThrilla: yeah System->Preferences->iBus Preferences [18:53] diddy: I'm not sure why using 300Mb for /boot would be stupid.. at the moment I use about 30 Mb on my boot.. 300 sounds reasonable.. a little space to spare but not too much [18:53] microlith: oooohhh... just did a check on iBus. I guess that might be the problem [18:53] microlith: Thanks... I'll check that out. [18:53] xorred: alsa unmuted ? (/var/log/syslog) [18:53] unmuted, yes [18:53] I guess that means ubuntu replaced scim === Phoenyx is now known as Guest86556 [18:53] <__dean__> goku: genisoimage -J [18:53] Slart, yes I also have about 200 MB now. And I believe the kernels do not decrease in size over the years. [18:53] on startup, I get tha tmy audio device stopped working and I get a muted kmix [18:53] diddy: are you going to be doing a lot of video? suspend to ram that kind of thing.. with lots of windows open.. then .. maybe :) [18:54] seanicus: when the computer boots, does it show any kinds of Vista related attempts at booting? [18:54] josvuk: Is your DSL modem just a modem? Or is it a DSL modem/router? What is it's model number? [18:54] DasEi: on startup, I get tha tmy audio device stopped working and I get a muted kmix [18:54] scunizi, hibernation and suspension [18:54] daftykins: I don't think so...I'd have to check. But I'm pretty sure not [18:54] diddy: nope.. I doubt there will be any major changes in kernel size in the near future [18:54] So I just upgraded my Ubuntu Distro to 9.10 and now I have no taskbar or the bar along the top of the screen....any help? [18:54] microlith: iBus isn't setup for me properly so i'm going to have to install a few packages. Be right back... [18:54] xorred: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog , give url here [18:54] daftykins: I'll go on my laptop and turn off this computer. I am sje46 [18:55] IndianThrilla: ok [18:55] diddy: if you have the space go for it.. that's a huge amount of space though.. 8 might be just as effective [18:55] OkropNick, I will go for it now. [18:55] seanicus: ok, i am beginning to suspect more problems than just Vista creaming itself :) [18:55] what's this iSpell crap [18:55] Nov 28 00:50:50 home pulseaudio[2311]: alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy [18:55] daftykins: as in, hardware problems? [18:55] yep [18:55] scunizi, yes but I already have 8GB of RAM then I need double the amount for swap, no? Or is that rule of thumb obsolete? [18:55] seanicus: i'm just getting food now, feel free to PM me when you're back or something [18:55] usr13: The switch has no port labeled WAN. The Dsl modem is type teledat 430 from telekom. [18:55] i'll be here [18:55] daftykins: alright [18:55] http://pastebin.com/f5865ace5 [18:56] diddy: obsolete, if you ask me [18:56] diddy: largly obsolete [18:56] diddy: it's a rule of thumb that is broken all the time.. situationally dependant [18:56] there we go [18:56] diddy, pretty much, I have 2gig of ram and a 2gig swap and I seldom use anymore then 500meg of swap [18:56] OK could anybody give me a size for my swap if I have 8 GB of RAM and use hibernation and suspension, please? [18:56] hello :) [18:56] also, 9.10 apparently doesn't need vmware libraries to exit the mouse/keyboard from the VM without hitting keys [18:57] diddy: 9 GB or so [18:57] diddy: you need *at least* RAM if you're going to use hibarnation [18:58] how long does it take to hibernate 8G of ram? a reboot might be faster...? [18:58] I never understood why the swap has to be bigger than the RAM in the first place. [18:58] how to install USB modem Vodafone into ubuntu? [18:58] diddy: because it saves the RAM to the swap when it hibernates [18:58] diddy: might work with 2GB RAM in your case [18:58] josvuk: I do not find information on the teledat 430 in english so I do not know, but if it is a DSL modem/router it will work. If it is only a DSL modem, you will need to trade the switch for a router. [18:58] diddy: uh 2GB SWAP [18:58] Slart, yes but the RAM can only hold 8 GB max. As far as I know that fits into 8 GB swap. So why do I need more than 8 GB swap? [18:58] diddy: 9GB is a bit crazy for SWAP really [18:59] diddy: you don't [18:59] diddy: to allow for hibernating it has to be at least equal.. back in hte old days it was typically 2x ram, these days I run with 2G ram and no swap and it's never a problem... [18:59] diddy: oh.. I just heard that the other day.. someone had a good reason for wanting a little more swap than ram.. can't really remember the reason why [18:59] diddy: You do not need more than 8GB swap but wouldn't hurt to have it. [19:00] how to install USB modem Vodafone 3G/GPRS into ubuntu? [19:00] usr13: it would hurt since u lost space [19:00] possible because the way a gig is calculated is different for HDD's and 8G of drivespace is less than 8G of actual ram? [19:00] xorred: hm, ressource busy, possible a bug in hda_intel syslog says, try latest alsa drivers ? [19:01] just a theory.. [19:01] noshelter: "lost space"? [19:01] zcat[1]: hmm.. I think 8G of disk is the the same as 8G ram.. manufacturers might count differently when they sell drives though [19:02] DasEi: I have the latest [19:02] it happened after I tryied to install rhythmbox and it's "suggesteds" [19:02] Slart: zcat[1] don't forget the overhead used in drive space.. [19:02] reboot - gone sound [19:02] zcat[1]: I think they say.. 8 GB is the same as 8 000 000 000 bytes [19:02] remove rhythmbox - no sound [19:02] zcat[1]: Slart why would there be any difference? [19:03] scunizi: there's no overhead in swap is there? [19:03] scunizi: isn't that because of the file system? I have no idea how the swap file system works.. [19:03] usr13: zcat[1] Slart isn't there some journaling in swap? [19:03] .. hmm, perhaps there is [19:03] xorred: lsmod | grep intel | pastebinit [19:03] usr13: can u use swap to store any data that ud store on ur hd? I think not, so if you resize ur hdd to have 8gb of swap, u lost 8gb of storage space [19:03] it's 'swapfs' .. not just a raw ramdump, right? there must be some overhead to keep track of where blocks ended up [19:03] I want to create a custom live cd from a live cd iso. I have everything working but I want to remove the option during boot to install the cd, any suggestions? [19:04] usr13: 8GB is 8*1024*1024*1024 according to everyone else.. the hard drive manufacturers on the other hand say that 8GB is 8 *1000*1000*1000 which is a little less [19:04] hy:) [19:04] i have a problem [19:04] with my ubuntu [19:04] The Nicest One Of Them All [19:04] enyone can help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:04] zcat[1]: There is no overhead in having swap, but there is overhead in using it.... [19:04] anyone~! [19:04] usr13: plus, im pretty sure hibernate works without swap, it will just save the ram into a swap file on the hdd, so that problem can be solved easily without a dedicated partition [19:04] !anyone | serbanlupu [19:04] serbanlupu: 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? [19:04] Hello, [19:04] Slart: usr13 but that's not a fair comparrison of RAM vs Formatted drive space.. [19:04] how do i defrag my files in ubuntu? [19:04] Slart: Oh, good point. [19:04] usr13: so if I make a 8G swap partiton, that doesn't take 8G away that I could use for / or /home? [19:04] !defrag | mikelam [19:04] mikelam: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [19:05] zcat[1]: well sure. [19:05] mikelam: That's Ext4 by default in 9.10, but same thing regarding defrag [19:05] zcat: yes it does [19:05] mikelam: as far as I know [19:05] usr13: that's what I mean by 'overhead' [19:05] I have a script here with contains severall words i all at one want to replace by another for example .png with .jpg, is that possible?

The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [19:07] sebsebseb YES [19:07] !eol [19:07] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [19:07] serbanlupu: ok well this works. system > administration > terminal and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:07] DasEi: hmm yes I know it's correct as it worked :) [19:07] hi [19:07] scunizi: hehe =) [19:07] scunizi: But it fits. [19:08] serbanlupu: and hit enter, put in your password, and download. and it installs for you [19:08] !find libgtk-1.2.so.0 [19:08] it's something got messed up by this rhythmbox [19:08] Package/file libgtk-1.2.so.0 does not exist in karmic [19:08] also swap keeps track of memory use in pages; there must be some overhead to say what page in swam maps to what page in real memory..? [19:08] DasEi: I hate untested packages... :( [19:08] xorred: changed hardware ? [19:08] usr13: so is that term still used in todays navy or did it die out in the pre '80's timeperiod? [19:08] no, no hardware change [19:08] changed appartments - rebooted as moved the computer - no sound now [19:08] weird... [19:08] how do I install this on Jaunty? https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/gst-editor [19:08] zcat[1]: but there's nothing that says that that info has to stored in the swap itself [19:08] can I turn kernel updates of in ubuntu? [19:08] Ty [19:08] I don't know what caused it, DaSei [19:08] serbanlupu: uhmm I meant [19:09] I removed grub because it didn't work for me, and now, when I update my kernel, dpkg complains because it can't find update-grub [19:09] the move of appartment or upgrades or whatever.. . [19:09] serbanlupu: applicaitons > assessories > terminal [19:09] scunizi: I don't know really. Would be interested to find out. But you'd probably have to ask a CPO or higher to find out. [19:09] serbanlupu: I am not on Ubuntu right now, I am using another distro instead [19:09] i just installed eeebuntu and I see that it want to install kernel 2.6.29 from eeebuntu and at the same time 2.6.28 from ubuntu... [19:09] gribouille: how did you remove grub? (apt-get remove?) [19:09] CarlFK, of course [19:09] anyone that can help me with this, please PM? [19:10] nyha: you can disable updates in system, administration, update-manager [19:10] nyha: why would you want to install eebuntu on a regular system? [19:10] usr13: I have an Admiral on tap (Dad).. spent 36 years in and retired in 83.. he's the only one I've ever known to use the term outside of you.. kinda shows my age I guess. [19:10] scunizi: I found "SEA LAWYER, n. One who attempts to shirk responsibility or blame through trivial technicalities." in "New Words in English" [19:10] nyha: eeeubuntu is the old thing, I think [19:10] nyha: that is no longer made [19:10] nyha: Ubuntu Netbook Remix that's what you want as far as I know [19:10] zcat[1]: its a eeepc... [19:10] that too, called 'easypeasy' now I think [19:10] usr13: also known as a BS'er [19:10] connect krakow.irc.pl [19:10] sebsebseb: its eeebuntu... not eeeubuntu [19:11] zcat[1]: I think ther'es the old offical thing eeebuntu and the unoffical easypeasy or something like that [19:11] sry ww [19:11] !unr | nyha [19:11] nyha: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [19:11] scunizi: did you go overseas with your Dad? [19:11] anyone who know how i turn off join/leave info in pidgin irc chat [19:11] sebsebseb nyha: eeebuntu has been out for a while, but they're still developing it. The core team came out with Ubuntu Netbook Remix with karmic I think. [19:11] sebsebseb: I don't want the netbookrmx shit... [19:11] usr13: 5yrs in Europe.. finished HS and 2yrs College in Munich [19:11] !language | nyha [19:11] nyha: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:12] nyha: I use eeebuntu on my netbook, what's up? [19:12] sebsebseb thanks a lot :) [19:12] serbanlupu: make sure you use info for whatever version of Ubuntu your using [19:12] gribouille: any idea what package is trying to use update-grub? [19:12] serbanlupu: their is a lot of old info out there to, that won't be valid for your version [19:12] ilium_9: well the update manager want to install kernel 2.6.28 from ubuntu repos and 2.6.29 from eeebuntu repos... [19:13] ilium_9: and this take to much space... [19:13] serbanlupu: also it's good to use the things the bot recommends for help, as well as the Ubuntu Pocket Guide which you can download [19:13] !new | serbanlupu [19:13] serbanlupu: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [19:13] sebsebseb i tried to make a OpenGl project and i have a project [19:14] ilium_9: and how can I remove old kernels that are installed? [19:14] xorred: from former experiences I got my alsa back by recompiling it, havent tried on karmic though ( different behavoiur/ upstart) can try on your own risk [19:14] i don`t know how to check if my video card is installed properly:( [19:14] i use ubuntu for 1 week [19:14] :( === lengend|work|out is now known as lengend [19:14] serbanlupu: try this to begin with system > administration > hardware drivers [19:14] serbanlupu: also which type of card is it? [19:15] CarlFK, the kernel, of course [19:15] hmm.. very interesting info about swap.. the bottom comment http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space [19:15] CarlFK, are you new to linux ? [19:15] gribouille: nope [19:15] seems the 2*RAM is a bit trickier than suspected [19:16] gribouille: you new to bug reporting? :) [19:16] nyha: I've found lots of help with the extra/old kernels on google, but to stop getting so much junk from update manager, go System->Administration->Update Manager->Settings, and in the Updates tab uncheck "Recommended" [19:16] sebsebseb atiradeon x550 [19:16] serbanlupu: oh ATI hmm [19:16] nyha: dpkg -l | grep linux-image will show you what kernels you have installed, just sudo apt-get remove package_name to remove the old ones...make sure you keep the most recent one at least [19:16] CarlFK, why do you ask such newbie questions ? [19:16] serbanlupu: those can be quite the issue in Ubuntu, ATI graphics cards [19:16] ... [19:16] !ati | serbanlupu [19:16] serbanlupu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:17] serbanlupu: Is there anything available in hardware drivers? [19:17] i got a problem when i close firefox...it just won't like end the process, i would always have to use the system monitor to end it...does anyone know the cause? [19:17] Can anyone help me with UNR [19:17] nyha: uname -r will list the version of your current kernel, make sure to keep that package at least [19:18] Ghstw0lf, i can maybe help [19:18] gribouille: because I am not going to guess at what you likely know - need confirmation [19:18] he sad me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [19:18] he sad me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system.":( [19:18] CarlFK, just read what I wrote previously [19:18] serbanlupu: ok uhmm [19:18] is ok to say me this? [19:19] hello, has anyone gotten ext3 drive accessible from windows? right now I can read the partition, but I can't write to it [19:19] *windows 7 [19:19] serbanlupu: well you might have to install a driver for full 3D/OpenGL support, but I don't know that much about ATI graphic cards issues in Ubuntu, since I have Nividia :) [19:19] Samuli^: I'm not sure if there is a read and write driver for windows.. which one are you using? [19:19] Samuli^, when you install the ex2/3 driver you must enable write support [19:19] Samuli^: sharing with Windows hmm, I woudn't recommmend that [19:20] serbanlupu: which model ? [19:20] Samuli^: also you should be able to read and write to your Windows 7 partition from Ubuntu [19:21] hawk_, which driver would enable writes? [19:21] sebsebseb, I can do that, yes. The other way around is the problem. :) [19:22] how can I find the decoder for QCELP? [19:22] Samuli^: If it's just a dat a partition sharing with Windows uhmm ok maybe, but if it's your /home for example, I would strongly recommend not to, after all don't want a virus deleting your program config files for Ubuntu, as well as some data [19:22] Atiradeon X550 [19:22] serbanlupu, ati x550 is unsupported now [19:22] Samuli^ - i've used the one from here: http://www.fs-driver.org/ without a problem [19:22] sebsebseb, it's ok, don't worry :) [19:23] Samuli^: I mean the hidden .folders in Home [19:23] sebsebseb, uh...viruses that infect windows don't infect Linux [19:23] i need to buy another one? [19:23] Samuli^: http://tinyurl.com/ygs5mtn [19:23] Berzerker: a virus that has access to a Linux partition in Windows, can delete stuff from it [19:23] Samuli^, all you should need to do is double click the Hard drive under /media and it should mount it for access [19:23] thanks hawk_, I'll give that one a go [19:23] Berzerker: doesn't infect.. but can destroy [19:23] Slart, not if you're in linux [19:23] maybe if you're in windows [19:23] duffydack : i use ext2 [19:23] serbanlupu, mines a 9800, and the free radeon driver works nice. [19:23] how can I find the decoder for QCELP? [19:23] Berzerker: he's asking for read/write support in windows for ext3 [19:23] Slart, ah. [19:24] microlith: you there? [19:24] ya [19:24] microlith: cool. I got it to work. Followed these instructions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/464060 [19:24] I was using vbox ose and i change vbox version but when i try to run the virtual machine i have to recompile the vbox kernel modules eachtime i wanna run virtual machine if not it dosnt work [19:24] microlith: Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! [19:24] IndianThrilla: no problem [19:24] anyone know? [19:25] serbanlupu: sry for that model, even my older 1600 does nice with open source now [19:25] how can I find the decoder for QCELP? [19:25] serbanlupu, check Visual Effects in the Appearance settings.. if set to normal then its using 3d ok, if set to None, try setting it to normal, if it wont , then it wont [19:25] anyone know???? [19:25] later [19:25] Berzerker: of course.. a nasty virus can just do random writes to the harddrive or just start destroying random partitions anyway.. so you're not safe just because you don't have read/write to ext3 available [19:25] hawk_, says this program only runs in vista etc. Did you run the installation in compatibility mode?

[19:33] gRaCiOsO, i was talking to some people in #vbox about that problem yesterday, all I have to say is that VBox 3.0.8 has been working fine on my 64bit Karmic host install - 3.0.10 i had an issue with VM performace being super slow, and at least two people yesterday weren't able to compile the vbox kernel on 3.0.10 & 3.0.12 - I don't know a solution for either of those versions. best of luck.

[19:34] i first tried to install it from vista but i kept getting access denied errors even though i was running as administrator [19:34] is the a solution how i can mass convert files from 1 data type to another and take the names over?

[19:34] dusty1: installed from Vista, you mean Wubi? [19:35] serbanlupu, pastebin your lspci | grep VGA, your Xorg.0.log and the results of glxinfo command [19:35] usser default one:) [19:35] so i decided to do a restart, boot from cd and and install like that, and now it is just sitting at resizing partition at 0% been like that for 45 minutes [19:35] Ponuwon: well... neither do I =/ but perhaps someone else does [19:35] Hello, I need some help installing my Sound Card Drivers. [19:35] if my apt lock gets stuck what do I do? [19:35] yea i was trying to use wubi sebe [19:35] Ponuwon, you need sound codec, i think its using something like libfaad [19:35] AmokPaule: with a little bash onliner should be possible. if you have the command that does the conversion [19:35] dusty1: ok don't use Wubi :) [19:36] serbanlupu, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep /usr/lib/dri can i print it the resolt in a file? [19:36] dusty1: ,because things can go wrong with that, and also real partitions are better in the long run :) [19:36] Any good system and easy to learn programming autodidact? It is very important. Some better than another language to learn? [19:36] i have a converter yes [19:36] Ponuwon, no not faad, AMR sorry [19:36] yea i didn't use wubi sebsebseb, i booted from cd and now its stuck at the resizing partitions [19:36] i chose the install side by side and dual boot option [19:36] dusty1: also let Vista resize itself, or data loss might happen [19:37] usser: it wants me to search for the QCELP decoder which is unavailable [19:37] usser : http://pastebin.com/m470ca7b3 [19:37] my apt lock is stuck [19:37] what do i do?

My second computer is a server so i dont have a screen connected. easier if i open it somehow with the console [20:04] chatZilla: i'd still md5 though [20:04] niixie: sftp? [20:04] gfg, I'm not following, not too familiar with linux structure, what is it? [20:04] n00byLubey: can figure it out ?

[20:05] how do you md5 a torrent file? I usually use DownThemAll firefox add-on to Md5 from direct downloads [20:05] djaerobie: does the '--no-floppp' screw things up? [20:05] !mdsum | chatZilla [20:05] ActionParsnip: yes, and it's easier to set up than ftp if you don't exactly need an ftp server [20:05] co_shifty: Its just a shortcut to the file /dev/fd0 when mounted, you can ignore it. but if you need a floppy you wont be able to mount it, it does the work for USB/IDE/SATA floppy drives. [20:05] !md5sum | chatZilla [20:05] chatZilla: 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 [20:05] DasEi: No..

Restarting your computer might fix this too [20:29] I have added the right lines to my xorg.conf to succesfully start the program on a new X but I can't figure out which variable I need to edit in order to start the X on my second monitor instead of the first [20:29] songer which driver did you install? nvidia one? [20:29] Thunder_Drop: if you have two graphics cards you could specify the PCI bus identifier of the second card [20:29] if you've got two displays on one card, then it's something else i'm not sure of :D [20:29] daftykins: I only have one card [20:30] ah, what type?

[20:40] Hello. My sister has asked me to install ubuntu on her old laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron 5150, ~512k RAM, probably 5+ years old. Which version do you recommend? I have disks for 5.10, 7.10, or could dl the latest. Thx. [20:40] saketh: getlibs it was [20:40] klenwell: I'd recommend 9.04 [20:40] klenwell: 9.04 or 9.10, and 5.10 and 7.10 are no longer supported [20:40] i'm on a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 Dell inspiron 5160 with 512MB RAM with karmic right now klenwell :) [20:40] I once had a computer where I could use stereo mix (Running Windows then) --all my subsequent ones I have not been able to including this one and it has ubuntu 9.10! Is there any way to enable it? [20:40] klenwell: will run ubuntu if you wish, you cna install xubuntu for a more responsive system [20:41] AegNuddel: unless you specify what "stereo mix" is, I don't think anyone will be able to answer. [20:41] klenwell: put 9.10 on, if you get loads of problems that you can't solve, you could try 9.04 [20:41] Recording sound that the computer is playing [20:41] Also called "what u hear" in some cases [20:41] klenwell: How much RAM does the computer have? [20:41] klenwell: guess he means 512 megs of ram, not 512k [20:42] Thx for suggestions. I suggest 5.10 because I had some issue when I tried to install the latest on an old laptop of mine last year and ended up installing 5.10 and upgrading from that. (Yes, 512MB!) [20:42] klenwell: no don't put 5.10 on [20:42] ola [20:42] daftykins: does not happen something [20:42] klenwell: i only have 1 system of 4 with more then 512Mb ram [20:42] klenwell: if you want a version that is quite a lot older now and still supported, 8.04 [20:42] what happened to all the log bots? [20:42] klenwell: your options are either 8.04 LTS or 9.04 or 9.10 to get something that'll have any decent support. [20:43] klenwell: which is also the current LTS untill 10.04 comes out [20:43] Hi. I don't see gamepad in lsmod, but I do see /dev/input/js0. Is it wrong? I can't get my Logitech gamepad to work. Thanks. [20:43] songer are you in terminal in a livecd right now or on the actual install and X is broken? [20:43] klenwell: download hardy or newer for fullsupport, older releases arent supported [20:43] klenwell: I recently installe karmic on a 430 PII (Celeron!), 256 meg [20:43] klenwell: 8.10 is also an option, but that will run out of support when 10.04 comes out basicalley [20:43] My external (VGA attached) monitor works but the colors look strange. Is there a way to see if I am using 24-bit color? [20:44] ok, i'm going to dl 8.04 LTS and give it a try. Will probably return with some questions later. Thanks! [20:44] hello!

[20:56] i have a problem. im new to the linux world and have installed the latest ubuntu (9.10). my problem is that since an update i have two ubuntu versions in my grub. the older version and the new one which im using right now. how do i change that? [20:56] hi [20:56] pookiewookie: useing 'sudo cd' is pointless.. it would cd, then exit back to your normal shell. (the non sudo'd one) if the directory dosent exist then it dosent exist.. check its permissions if it does exist [20:56] hi ppl.. i'm martin from macedonia i use windows xp sp2 and i dont have installed driver for graphic card can... and i dont know what is my card.. can somebody help me thx.. ?

[20:56] Dead_Link: You don't need to worry about the older version being there [20:56] Dead_Link: if you run: uname -a that will show your CURRENT kernel [20:57] DasEi: IT has my soundcard there. However there is a "Profile" And I see MANY options. Maybe I should change that? Its currently set to Analog Stereo Duplex. [20:57] jelari: what is the output of "uname"? [20:57] simonovski: what has that got to do with ubuntu ? [20:57] Flannel, pkg mgr was asking whether to upgrade to karmic, i clicked .. [20:57] Dead_Link: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image it will show you ALL installed kernels [20:57] back again. ubuntu 9.1 finds my sata_hardware but does not fiond the ide-drive behind it. there is no such option in the bios to set it to use AHCI or IDE-compatibility. i can only activate/(deactivate raid and set ide-prefetch. ideas?

[20:59] Dead_Link: you will save 120Mb per kernel [20:59] I just wanna talk to newegg's customer service [20:59] rTk^: by java sites you mean websites right? using servlets and jsp etc ? [20:59] almigi, how to move then ? [20:59] chances are you DID download the new kernel when you upgraded, but you're booting into the old one [20:59] jelari: Does this only happen with firefox? or other programs as well?

[21:01] ok, gonna try [21:01] almigi, sure almigi ... :) === technokrat is now known as loetstation [21:02] almigi, i have dual boot. it wont affect is not ? :) [21:02] Flannel: its close to [21:02] ive never figured out why the 'lsb_release' command dosent print out somthing usefull for just 'lsb_release' :) [21:02] jelari, try sudo dpkg --configure -a , it may speed things up [21:02] jelari, just a moment. [21:02] Dr_Willis: even with a -a option [21:03] -users [21:03] almigi, sure. [21:03] users [21:03] ActionParsnip: ya would think just lsb_release would default to lsb_release -a or somthing. :) or -h at least [21:03] I'm trying to use the Speech screenlet, but when I try to add the screenlet I get "orca is required to use this screenlet". I already have gnome-orca installed. Any way to get this screenlet working? [21:03] !find orca [21:03] Found: gnome-orca [21:03] Dr_Willis: yeah -h at least [21:04] almigi, BluesKaj sudo upgrade-grub, sudo --configure -a, which one to use ? [21:04] jelari, in theory, it shouldn't. upgrade-grub just updates the boot menu, so as long as it can still see the other OS, it should be fine. [21:04] Dr_Willis: I already have gnome-orca [21:04] Can any one offer some help with a tablet problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8403189#post8403189 [21:04] jelari, it depends on the cause of the problem. I'm going off the assumption that the upgrade did download everything it needed to download but the grub menu wasn't updated. [21:04] wow.. just typing 'orca' makes tye system talk.. :) cool! [21:04] almigi, so it doest affect the existing os entries right ? [21:05] KnifeySpooney: i just typed 'orca' and it is running some config stuff.. perhaps that needs to be done first [21:05] jelari, i could be wrong though. the reason why I'm going off that assumption is because there was a similar report in launchpad and about the system slowing down after an upgrade [21:05] almigi, BluesKaj but i remember the following package was failing when i upgrade: Errors were encountered while processing: [21:05] ztemtevdo [21:05] Dr_Willis: Yeah I just did that too and ran the installer.. Maybe I need to log in/out [21:05] brb [21:06] jelari, sudo --configure -a to release orphaned pkges, has nothing to do with grub [21:06] the orca config says you need to . :) so yes.. i think so knuifey [21:06] Dr_Willis: it can speak in a lancashire accent too . hahahahhah [21:06] ActionParsnip: just what ive always needed! [21:06] Dr_Willis: what, some dirty manchester voice, no way [21:06] BluesKaj, sudo --configure -a ? it shows wrong option '-- [21:06] and, that being said, while I have used Linux for awhile, I still consider myself somewhat green. Perhaps you should try BluesKaj advice first. [21:07] hey al [21:07] l [21:07] I have a problem... when I play unreal tournament there's no sound [21:07] why not? [21:07] BluesKaj, ok, it is with dpkg command ! :) [21:07] sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:08] Hello everyone. [21:08] sorry [21:08] I'm having a problem with nvidia drivers... [21:08] yo madman [21:08] BluesKaj, insmod: error inserting '/usr/local/bin/ztemtEVDO/ztemt.ko': -1 Invalid module format [21:08] Note: It also happens with extreme tux racer [21:08] are you using the default nv driver? [21:08] I've lost support for shaders when I had it before... [21:08] anyone [21:08] ? [21:09] Nixot: I've noticed that some games have problems with pulseaudio. [21:09] now if i could figure out how to use orca... :) [21:09] Nixot: You might want to try removing pulseaudio and trying again. [21:09] Anyway. [21:09] Dr_Willis: what's an orca? [21:09] DaesEi: sorry for replying late... yes it's mounted..."/dev/sda1 on /mnt/repair type fusblk [21:09] the_madman: How would I go about doing that? [21:09] tilt: its a text to speach tool it seems [21:09] I have a spanish friend I talk to on pidgin/msn she is using windows, it installs gtkspell and it gives her english and spanish dicts, and lets her check spelling for both languages, but the ubuntu pidgin/aspell/gtkspell dont.. ? [21:09] Nixot: In whatever package manager you prefer, search for, "pulseaudio" and remove the package. [21:10] Nixot: Might want to restart after as wel. [21:10] Its limited to the locale she uses when logging in [21:10] I need help. Does ubuntu 9.04 still support /etc/network/interfaces file ? [21:10] tilt: The Orca (Orcinus orca), commonly referred to as Killer Whale , less commonly, Blackfish, is the largest species of the dolphin family, though they are commonly mistaken as a species of whale. They are found in all the world's oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to warm, tropical seas. [21:10] kbp: all linuxes do [21:10] kbp: regardless of distro or release [21:10] Nixot: I see [21:10] Doing so right now... [21:10] Now i wonder if it will say wahts in this window.. Nope. :( [21:10] ActionParsnip: ok thank you [21:11] Nixot: well, don't tell the japanese [21:11] Dr_Willis: well editing .profile didn't add required PATH. When doind "sudo env" there is still no /opt/foo/bar listed [21:11] OK tilt. [21:11] any ideas? [21:11] I'll keep that in mind [21:11] is wicd broken in 9.10? [21:11] the_madman: It wants to uninstall ubuntu-desktop as well [21:12] Nixot: Oh. How many other things does it want to install? [21:12] kbp: its really handy to backup a good one, then if you get a new install or release you can just copy in the file then restart networking and you are good to go [21:12] i tried installing it, and it failed to detect any wireless networks, but removing it didn't help to use the default gnome wifi manager [21:12] Nixot: It's all right to uninstall ubuntu-desktop, but if it's removing stuff like gnome-keyring, scrap that idea... [21:12] pookiewookie: sudo has options you may want to be using [21:12] I'm trying to help a friend out with his computer.. He is running 9.10 upgraded from 9.04, he went to restart yesterday, and it started running a file check.. It gets to 70% and stops. If he hits escape to cancel the check it comes up to a prompt. Is there any way to fix this? [21:12] jazzencat: theres also wifi-radar and ntwork-manager [21:13] ActionParsnip: I've googled my laptop fan issue, and discovered several posts on various forums confirming that others have experienced this. But it doesn't seem specific to my own laptop; many other get this too. Is it that Ubuntu simply doesn't control the fan at all and leaves it on? [21:13] all right i'll try those. [21:13] ActionParsnip: this is my ifconfig output http://codepad.org/bFKN2Byx . is the wmaster0 normal ? [21:13] So I've been having problems since I tried swapping out nvidia-drivers with nouveao drivers. I couldn't get the latter to work, so I tried switching back to the former, but I seem to have lost support for shaders while I had them before. [21:13] kbp: yeah i've seen that [21:13] Hey guys & girls. If my friend has a pc with an ATI Radeon 4850 in it, then would installing fglrx-amdcccle and it's dependency of xorg-driver-fglrx get his card running in 3d? Well enough to run A 3d FPS [21:13] the reason i was trying wicd was because of very low signals in wifi even when close to the router [21:14] ejcweb: in some cases yes, seems you may need some boot options or somesuch, dellare very documented so you may find guides [21:14] ActionParsnip: ok... thank you... I will try again, because my wireless card cannot connect even there is no passwd [21:14] the_madman: I ran it as a terminal, and found this: "open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" [21:14] kbp: use wlan1 [21:14] I've tried apt-get purge nvidia*, reboot, apt-get install nvidia-common, running Jockey and installing nvidia drivers the usual way again... [21:14] Dr_Willis: do you mean "sudo -E" or something? [21:14] Nixot: Hmm. OK. [21:15] Nixot: Not entirely sure what to do in that case - at least, without just killing gdm and going CLI... [21:15] ActionParsnip: could you please do me a favor? could you post the content of your /etc/network/interfaces ? (because my jaunty doesn't have that file and i thought jaunty doesn't support any more) [21:16] pookiewookie: been ages since i looked into doing that stuff. i normally just set the proper paths for the user, and sudo works for it. Someone was asking in here about setting the root users path also. I recall copying the users .bash* files to the root users home and sudo then used the same paths as the user. [21:17] Yea. the orca built in help... crashes.. :) [21:18] kbp: http://pastebin.com/f14f867c0 [21:18] Dr_Willis: hmm. interesting, I modified user's .profile and it sets variable fine. Done the same thing for root .profile and it doesn't work :/ [21:18] Oh, and I typed "pulseaudio -k" and turned all the settings in the sound option to ALSO, as that was the only one that workes [21:18] kbp: from my wired subnet [21:18] the_madman: I mean. read the previous message, I forgot to write your name at the start [21:19] pookiewookie: thats because the default sudo uses the USeRS settings, not roots. thats also a differeance in how 'sudo -s' vs 'sudo -i' works [21:19] ActionParsnip: I have wired connection too but I don't have the file interfaces (!!?) [21:19] Nixot: You might want to restart, in case something's still using pulseaudio... [21:19] OK [21:20] No one? [21:20] Restarting now... [21:20] kbp: dude its essential as linux uses the loopback interfaces quite a lot [21:20] Hey guys & girls. If my friend has a pc with an ATI Radeon 4850 in it, then would installing fglrx-amdcccle and it's dependency of xorg-driver-fglrx get his card running in 3d? Well enough to run A 3d FPS [21:20] kbp: i'd use mine as a template and change the address ranges to suit your network address [21:21] hi i upgraded to 9.10 and I can't have sound input and output at the same time. If I change the profile to "analog stereo input" in volume control, I can record fine with my mic but there's no output. The other way around, if I set the profile to "analog stereo output", my sound output works fine but I can't use my mic. [21:21] hello, how can I burn and boot karmic from a usb stick [21:21] n-iCe: use unetbootin [21:21] ActionParsnip: ok thank you I've found it (bad eyes). thank alot [21:21] majestrooo ok, tell me more :D [21:21] google unetbootin ;D === adminewb is now known as grub2-from-hell [21:22] gletob: seems to be supported by ati.com: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English [21:22] kbp: np bro [21:23] ActionParsnip, What's the current X.org version? [21:23] anyone using an MSI Wind? [21:23] ActionParsnip, 7.4? [21:23] sure majestrooo [21:23] gletob: its what ati.com gave when i selected your card [21:23] !anyone | aurolac [21:24] aurolac: 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? [21:24] ActionParsnip, don't preace to me, it was a useful question because it relates to that laptop [21:24] *preach [21:24] aurolac: its a moot question, just ask as if someone said "yes" and find out [21:24] !laptop [21:24] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [21:25] ActionParsnip, No I was asking what the current X.org version was for Ubuntu 9.10 but I just pulled it up in synaptic and it's 7.4. Thanks for pointing me to that page. [21:25] I'm trying to help a friend out with his computer.. He is running 9.10 upgraded from 9.04, he went to restart yesterday, and it started running a file check.. It gets to 70% and stops. If he hits escape to cancel the check it comes up to a prompt. Is there any way to fix this? [21:25] Dr_Willis: well, "sudo -i env" lists the required path, but not the "sudo -s" [21:25] ActionParsnip, if someone says yes then great, what's the point of elaborating on an issue if nobody else owns one [21:25] aurolac: its not preaching in any way, its just showing your initial question is pointless [21:25] pookiewookie: now ya know why theres a -i and a -s :) [21:25] all you've done is waste time and space === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [21:26] is there a forum to help with scripting? [21:26] aurolac, either you're going to ask your question or not, get on with it. [21:26] aurolac: because it takes an initial question then another, why not cut out the first one and ask your real questio worded slightly differently [21:26] dAlfa89_, I did [21:26] SOUND! [21:26] BEAUTIFUL SOUND!!!!! [21:26] :D [21:26] ActionParsnip, i'll deal with that when the time comes [21:26] Nixot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:26] Anyone else having boot issues with 2.6.31-15 kernel? [21:26] Thank you, the_madman :D [21:26] Hey! I wasn't flooding! >:c [21:26] linuxguy2009: no. :) [21:26] Dr_Willis: but when i run "sudo -i make" (yes, i'm trying to cross-compile :) ) it gives me an error: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [21:27] when I want to run the latest kernel version 2.6.31-15 I can't get my sta broadcom driver to work how do I solve this [21:27] Hmm wonder why I am. [21:27] aurolac: you'll be waiting a LONG time [21:27] pookiewookie: no idea. Its generally a bad idea to run make as root. 'make install' yes.. 'make' no.. You could just do the commands from a root shell you get to with 'sudo -i' or 'sudo -s' [21:27] ActionParsnip, don't you worry about me [21:27] aurolac: as you have given no information [21:27] I spy with my little eye, something beginning with troll [21:27] aurolac: i wont until you give details [21:28] ActionParsnip or Dr_Willis I was wondering if either of you guys seen my question? [21:28] ActionParsnip, go suck a lemon [21:28] aurolac: did actually. i have tequilla [21:28] AceKing: i see you asking if i saw it.. but i dident see it. :) i wasent looking.

[21:29] when I want to run the latest kernel version 2.6.31-15 I can't get my sta broadcom driver to work how do I solve this [21:29] paul68, if you read the conversation, he's offering no helpful info, he's just got nothing better to do [21:29] dAlfa89_: i guess [21:29] has anyone configured internal mic in acer aspire? plz help me [21:29] and keeps going on, i've asked my question and he's just knit-picking at this stage [21:29] but he's English what do you expect [21:30] I dident see an actual question... [21:30] hi. i made a user account on my system figuring anything that needed to be changed i would be able to allow with my admin account much like on Vista. This does not seem to be the case. How do you allow things as an admin in Ubuntu? [21:30] aurolac: i asked you to expand on your issue, you failed to do so, so nobody can help you [21:30] loser [21:30] mrXX: you mean an Acer Aspire One? or some other brand? [21:30] Dr_Willis: me neither [21:30] some one please help me my ubuntu after upgrading to karmic has become dead slow. [21:30] Dr_Willis: whoah!! it works! I typed "exec sudo -i" and it works! [21:30] is it a expected one ? [21:30] pookiewookie: exec? what are you doing exactly ? [21:30] jelari: is it all slow, or just in some apps? [21:30] Dr_Willis: Thank You for help [21:31] Dr_Willis i have aspire laptop, the mic doesnt work in ubuntu [21:31] ActionParsnip, it is all slow. [21:31] Dr_Willis, how do I fsck the file system? [21:31] ActionParsnip: do You have a thought on my issue? [21:31] pookiewookie: glad i could help.. i think you may be going about doing things wrong... but have fun [21:31] ActionParsnip, even opening Xchat itself takes huge time. [21:31] Dr_Willis: i'm trying to cross-compile firmware for my asus wl500gpv2 [21:31] AceKing: fsck.ext2 or fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1 or whatever device.. [21:31] paul68: run: lsusb and search for drivers based on the 8 digit hex ID you get [21:31] Dr_Willis.. Thanks [21:32] pookiewookie: and for some reason this requires compiling things as root? thats... weird.. [21:32] jelari: strange, have you tried some boot options? [21:32] ActionParsnip, means ? [21:32] jelari: is it a laptop? [21:32] yes [21:32] !bootoptions jelari [21:32] it is SONY vaio. [21:32] Dr_Willis: no worries, i'm running the thing in a virtual machine (virtual box) and have plenty of snapshots :) [21:32] !bootoptions jelari [21:32] !bootoptions | jelari [21:32] ActionParsnip: also for bcm wifi drivers? [21:32] jelari: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:33] i just need the firmware image built from svn, dont really matter how i build it as long as it works :) [21:33] ubottu, i dont want to open the browser, then i could not open anything. [21:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] ubottu including typing here. [21:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] paul68: you will need to reinstall those for the new kernel, not all drivers survive upgrades [21:34] ActionParsnip, ubottu, i have upgraded to 9.10, but my grub still shows 9.04 only how ? [21:34] can anyone tell me how to install all extra languages so I can see the character sets in firefox ? [21:35] anyone that can help me sort this out awk 'NR=="$i" {print $2}' foo the loop works but it wont set the variable, im in bash [21:35] ActionParsnip, ubottu, Even moving window also takes huge time. [21:35] Swindle, there was no loop there [21:35] altogether i feel i should not have upgraded to karmic. [21:35] Swindle, problem solved. [21:35] jelari: you will have the old kernels still installed. If you boot to the newest kernel then: lsb_release -a will tel you its karmic [21:35] ActionParsnip: I understand but the restricted driver is mentioned there but can't seem to activate it, and if I need to reinstall where can [21:35] Swindle: you mean set the variable for the bash shell? === alexei is now known as amgarchIn9 [21:36] ActionParsnip: I find that driver? [21:36] lol i didnt paste the whole loop.. im just saying thats inside the loop and $i counts but it wont set inside that statement [21:36] Dr_Willis: again, you've been very help full. Thank you [21:36] paul68: i would, just to make sure its been instaled under the new kernel; [21:36] Swindle: what's NR? [21:36] pookiewookie: have fun. :) [21:36] number of record [21:36] thank, see ya later :) [21:36] ActionParsnip: and I ceck that with lsusb?

[21:37] its not a homework assignment... [21:37] grub2 question: in the docs I've seen mention that FAT and ext2 file systems are supported, with conspicuous absence of ext3 or 4 wherever mention is made; is this meant to imply they're NOT supported? If not, what rationale? can't find anything explicit... could also use referral to a better channel if there is one. [21:37] im trying to parse transmissionBT [21:38] grub2-from-hell: supported where for what? i have grub2 on ext3/4 filesstems just find..

[21:38] oh..lol sorry been looking at forums to long [21:38] lol homework assignment [21:38] grub2-from-hell: its also possible ubuntu did some tweaks to make it support ext4, like they did with grub1 in the last release [21:38] that wouldve explained alot [21:38] uh [21:39] transmission-remote -l | sed '1d' | sed '/Sum:/d' >| .transremote [21:39] LINE=`cat .transremote | wc -l` [21:39] i="1" [21:39] while [ $i -le $LINE ] [21:39] do [21:39] COMP=`awk 'NR=="$i" {print $2}' .transremote` [21:39] Swindle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:41] fearzaurus: please keep to the topic [21:41] co_shifty: well a blank cd is not mountable, so that wouldent make much sence.. let me check here [21:41] Swindle: you code is uninteligable, thats why pastebins are good, it also stops you scrolling the channel which is why the floodbot exists. use the pastebin and you can paste your entire code for a single link in the channel which not only makes the code readable but is also fairer to the other 1400 users [21:42] I upgraded to 9.10 and now alt-shift-tab doesn't work [21:42] Swindle: could you watch your language, please? [21:42] hi, i have a problem, i cannot make work my mic, it worked in 9.04 with oss sound option, but now i can't find it, any idea? [21:42] noisecontrol: shame, i alays self build so dont have to put up with brands crap like that [21:42] sorry ill leave lol... im causing probs [21:42] thanks guys [21:43] any idea of the mic prob? [21:43] ActionParsnip - that would be an option if 50 somethings parents weren't in the mix saying if you break it you bought it [21:43] Dr_Willis: i should also say that the disk I want to setup grub2 on is now a GPT partition scheme, not MS-DOS with its intolerable fragility [21:43] what terminal command gives what device i have for recording sound? [21:43] btw - Linux detects the Brightview monitor fine [21:43] Dr_Willis, When it worked there was a dialogue box that poped up, asking if I wanted to start brazero, or open it, or something similar. [21:44] grub2-from-hell: if you say its fragil im not going to argue. :) ill just have to say good luck with your work. ive never used GPT. [21:44] mrXX: you mean info on your sound card? === ripps|sleep is now known as ripps [21:44] lshw [21:44] noisecontrol: well ubuntu comes with no SLA and no warranty so its essentially the same thing [21:44] anyone know how I can install all the additional languages into ubuntu via command line [21:44] co_shifty: thats not even poping up here.. i may of told it to never do that popup :) [21:44] kevdog i mean i wanna see which mic I have cause my mic doesnt work [21:44] lshw [21:44] maybe [21:44] ActionParsnip - I know - I've been using Linux since 2005 [21:44] sudo lshw [21:45] its all around just a better solution [21:45] co_shifty: but brasero is now working for me. it wasent about 4 days ago, thats all i can really say [21:45] noisecontrol: so why not ditch the brand stuff too ;) [21:45] Dr_Willis: ok then, just one symptom that might ring bells with someone: the UUID on my /home partition seems to be changing whenever the system boots! as if it were reformatting itself, except it's not. [21:45] Mom wants her Windows [21:45] anybody know what the official 7zip channel is? I've tried #7z, #7zip, and #p7zip [21:45] she doesn't get it [21:45] noisecontrol: can install windows on home made PC [21:45] Dr_Willis, Oh ok, then maybe a config can reset that option, even still I tried to open it in brasero, and that doesn't detect it either. [21:45] the question comes up [21:45] grub2-from-hell: now that IS very odd.. only time ive ever seen teh UUID change is if the partion got resized. You can set the UUID with the tune2fs command. [21:45] how can I print at school? [21:46] does anybody knows how unistall all wallpaper clocks? [21:46] I keep trying to tell her - Linux AUTODETECTS network printers [21:46] Hello [21:46] UUIDs on my other partitions appear to be stable, unlike this one; they're all ext4, so I couldn't say what's the distinction [21:46] she doesn't believe me [21:46] noisecontrol: email file to school email account, print from there [21:46] after doing some updates on ubuntu, I get in the grub bootloader 2 times ubuntu, how can I fix this?

[21:48] Dr_Willis: I wouldn't even notice that UUIDs were changing, except there's a boot msg complaining that it can't find /home by its UUID, where the other ones mount up fine [21:48] so you are Forced to go with either Compaq or Nvidia for the vendor [21:48] Vicfred: gparted in live cd can [21:48] can i upgrade via placing the iso of 9.10 on a usb and running the installation from there? i'm on the lts right now, but would like to upgrade.

[21:56] #quit [21:56] my problem is when logged in as a user it asks for a password to do certain tasks but it isnt asking for mine, it is asking for theirs. But obviously theres doesnt work. You can get past it by going to Users and Groups and unlocking it, it gives you privileges but it should still be smart enough to not ask a non-admin for a admin level password.

[22:03] mka: cp: missing destination file operand after `usr/lib'. nope [22:03] Formode: no mate, cause when i installed karmic it did the same thing [22:04] so i pressed 'C' to enter command line [22:04] Hi, I have a problem with wireless card.

[22:22] I think meebo.com can also do AIM. :) if ya want a web interface [22:22] meebo and beejive [22:22] newbie002, there are sometimes some freq settings in the monitor's own menu that can help with that.. if you're monitor doesn't you may need some custom mode lines in your xorg file. I recently used a mode line generator i found on google to do so . [22:22] Hans-Martin, that's why I'm using pidgin. I don't want them to officially support pidgin, I want them to keep their protocols [22:22] maweki, i did a grep -r inside /etc with the IP of the proxy my system tries to connect to and no luck [22:23] skinnYPup: the monitor refuses to resize or strech in the current mode, for TV it would work [22:23] I'll try the mode line approach [22:24] newbie002, those modeline's in the xorg tweak such settings ... its not really noob territory though [22:24] maweki: oh, ok, I did not think about pidgin not being AIM software. [22:24] epaphus, there's only one remaining thing where this is saved: try gnome-network-properties in the console [22:24] newbie002, make sure to read up on it b4 you dive in. and back up your xorg.conf incase a new modeline you try leaves you with no display [22:25] skinnYPup: the tv resolution is odd 1366x768 [22:25] maweki, bash: gnome-network-properties: command not found ... [22:25] milo__: according to your xorg.conf I'd say all resolution between 1280x1024 and 640x400 should be in the options list, I'm not familiar enough with GNOME to know why they aren't but I stumbled upon this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1333350 [22:25] newbie002, thats cool. I'm not very versed in the subject but i believe i have you pointed in the right direction so you can have some more pertinant things to google for or ask on here or the ubuntu help forums [22:26] i am trying to get my freecom dvb-t usb stick to work. i read the forums and installed kaffeine (on gnome 9.10) but its not finding my usb stick. any ideas? [22:26] epaphus, that's strange, that's gnome's proxy-settings-editor. Maybe the setting was made but you do not have the editor installed which would make you not find the setting [22:26] skinnYPup:thanks [22:26] i tried sudo dmesg, what do i look for?

[22:53] vermapratyush_, I'd help ya out , but grub2 is on my list to learn about. I have heard of some cd iso's that will load usb drivers and boot o.s. on machines whose bios doesn't support usb boot. Maybe something can be learned from their methods. Does your pc not support boot usb ? [22:53] grub [22:53] why is "do-release-upgrade" not working on hardy? i says no new release... [22:53] vermapratyush hold esc when it comes up [22:54] maweki: If you have a 32bit ubuntu, maybe you could try songbird from their homepage to see if it'll work for you?

[22:56] vermapratyush_, is usb set to a higher boot priority in the bios than the internal hdd ? I have done several usb drive installs with no problem booting up. [22:56] usr13, I think I found my issue though... all these people are having the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1134948 [22:56] whammo: lame [22:56] usr13: cool I'll look there [22:57] skinnYPuP, hmm.. lemme c try.. i think the external is on a higher priority than the interna; [22:57] skinnYPuP, internal HDD [22:57] r/o other than that boot a live cd and reinstall grub would be my second try. Good luck! [22:58] skinnYPuP, k [22:58] Okay next problem I can't seem to install: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) [22:58] usr13: I don't see it in the repos, is the audio high-enough quality to make it worth "going outside"? [22:59] some help with a wacom bamboo tablet please :( [22:59] usr13: whoops I see it in synaptic, nvm [22:59] teamcoltra, tried "ubuntu-restricted-modules-..." ? [23:00] rumpel_, no love either [23:00] maweki: Anything? [23:01] matt__, I wrote you as a private message [23:01] teamcoltra, aptitude search restricted says "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [23:01] matt__, I have a problem with xulrunner, but I do not experience your problems [23:01] maweki: Oh......I didn't get it...not in irssi....... [23:01] rumpel_, from my understanding these are two seperate packages [23:02] matt__, I have no permission problems. When you extracted the files, did you keep the permissions? [23:03] matt__, there's a songbird-named shellscript. Try to execute it [23:03] maweki: I've tried so so much...I think it's a problem with bash...I remember....something along these lines I ran into a long time ago...something about ubuntu going from bash to something else...and I had to change something. [23:03] hi [23:03] teamcoltra, i have karmic and linux-restricted... is not in my package manager list... [23:03] How can I setup 1 SFTP user on port 22 but still have the REST of my users use my custom port? [23:03] maweki: shellscript? meaning ./songbird? [23:03] anyone else have grub/grub2 boot loading problems after the latest kernel upgrade [23:03] matt__, yeah [23:03] maweki: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied [23:03] maweki: I had to change the top line in the file or something like that...for that one problem....been so long though I cannot rememember. [23:04] can someone help me in quieting my laptop's fans in ubuntu? [23:04] Having some connection speed issues on my laptop...where do I go in ubuntu to see what that speed is? [23:04] matt__, then change it to /bin/bash [23:04] matt__, but strangely, I use sh and bash side by side. [23:05] hi all.. can anyone explain to me what this command does? ". /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ ./ndspath" === macOut is now known as mac9416 [23:05] same problem.... [23:05] matt__, even if you try to execute the script?

[23:06] maweki: When I double click the file I get There is no application installed for executable files [23:06] !details | hulkguy [23:06] hulkguy: 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 ..." [23:06] MrSnead??? [23:07] I'm running Karmic and the latest update left my system sitting at a blinking cursor [23:07] Should "whiptail" be using 79% of my cpu?

And since you have the right executables, it's even stranger [23:09] I can boot into my ubuntu with super grub iso and ran update-grub2 but that doesn't fix the problem [23:09] ubuntu 9.10. was a fresh install and sound was working. then 2 things are happening now is i need to boot in to recovery and type startx in order to get to the gnome desktop [23:09] poutine, ...

[23:10] Having some connection speed issues on my laptop...where do I go in ubuntu to see what that speed is? [23:10] matt__, I can think of nothing that screws the installation up in that way. [23:10] maweki: Yeah...something isn't quite right...America's Army "aryops" does the same thing... [23:11] matt__, and you have read/write-permission on all your partitions? [23:11] maybe check your mountpoints and such [23:11] maweki: I reckon...I'm trying something different right now... [23:11] or start over again, which I think is no viable option [23:12] Hey do any of you think you can assist me?

[23:24] onboard sound and gfx card [23:24] manevra: dont use the desktops, try asking your question without addressing me, and maybe you'll get an answer [23:24] hulkguy: intel graphics [23:24] Dell, inspiron E1505 [23:24] yes [23:25] RickZilla: that will be enough...hitting dell's web site [23:25] execute: google "your processor normal temperature" [23:25] !grub2 MrSnead [23:25] Iowan, yes can you help [23:25] This is a fresh install? on fresh formatted partition? [23:25] fresh install yes [23:25] !grub2 | MrSnead [23:26] How do I print to a printer connected to my network running on Windows? [23:26] MrSnead: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:26] MrSnead: Hoping ubottu can [23:26] hulkguy: I had similar problems on a intel dominated notebook. [23:26] sound works on the windows side and use to on this install but then it stopped [23:26] RickZilla: oh dell...why do you swap out so many parts. [23:27] ubottu: thanks, I'll look [23:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:27] RickZilla: open up a terminal for me, simply because there's going to be a lot of data [23:27] Broam, k [23:27] RickZilla: run the command: lspci [23:27] RickZilla: it should be listed in there, I don't need the full output [23:27] Broam, k [23:27] ok im back ive reainstalled ubuntu into seperate a partition all i need to do now is add an entry into the windows boot loader any ideas how id do that? [23:27] hi, I just went on Ubuntuforums.org and it says my IP address is banned, but I've never posted anything bad or done anything wrong on there, so how do I get this problem fixed? [23:28] bluescream what should i do? [23:28] maxo: try asking #ubuntuforums [23:28] maxo: what kind of connection are you on ? [23:28] DasEi: ADSL [23:28] hulkguy: I did a reinstall and now it's running perfectly with karmic in 2 partitions, one workspace, 1 experimental [23:28] DasEi: and I used to be able to go on there fine [23:29] ShockF: instll grub to the MBR instead, it can boot windows too. the windows boot loader is a hunk of junk and only really boots windows [23:29] maxo: restart router already might give you other ip [23:29] ok ill try reinstall [23:29] thanks [23:29] good luck [23:29] ty [23:29] DasEi: I'll try, though it happened the other day also and I think I've rebooted it since then [23:29] ShockF: Microsoft ae very anti-any other operating system so dont expect you to want to add anything else, unlike Linux which accepts all [23:30] How do I print to a printer connected to my network running on Windows? [23:30] @parsnip i had grub before didnt really like it and would rather have the windows bootloader [23:30] ActionParsnip: it's a little less adversarial than that, but basically the thinking is "Well if the person installed windows, they want to boot windows" so windows clobbers your bootloader [23:30] RickZilla: any luck? [23:31] ShockF: basically microsoft are closed minded idiots and the opensourced community encapsulate all, making them far superior in most cases [23:31] Broam, didn't list my network card, not that I could see anyway [23:31] RickZilla: hmm. [23:31] anyone here who can tell me how to configure my ubuntu desktop (version 9.10) for the cube effect, to view open applications in a cube ? and roll that cube on the desktop ? [23:31] Broam: i know but i thinnk its a pathetic standpoint [23:31] manevra: I think the package is "ccsm" [23:31] hi, how do i delete a gconf entry with the gconftool-2 command? I accidentally created an entry with that command when I was trying to change a setting [23:31] manevra: and that's after doing a search for "compiz" in the software store [23:32] Broam how do i check if i have this package?: [23:32] RickZilla: do you have the ability to use an ethernet cable on your laptop, even for a short period of time? [23:32] manevra: just do a search for it in your favorite package manager [23:32] Broam, yeah, but I have to manually add network info [23:32] RickZilla: my thinking--if the laptop is slow only on wireless, it's your wireless. if it's slow even on the cable, then it's the laptop [23:32] ! ccsm | manevra [23:32] manevra: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [23:33] ActionParsnip : i dont want to install grub so is there a way of getting around this? [23:33] thank you soreau [23:33] manevra: Make sure both 'Desktop Cube' and 'Rotate Cube' are enabled in !ccsm. Then, in General Options --> Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4. Then you can grab the desktop with control+alt+left-mouse-button, and drag the cube around, or rotate the cube with control+alt+left/right. See: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Cube [23:33] ShockF: not sure, grub is a far better choice than microsofts worthless bootloader [23:33] Broam, makes sense to me, I'll look to troubleshoot that way [23:33] maxo: I just logged in there, if you brought some time could loook for a staffer there [23:33] i have a box connected directly to an adsl modem. the modem serves 192.X.X.X dhcp addresses but sometimes the box gets a 169.X.X.X address. [23:33] how do i fxi this? [23:34] thanks soreau and Broam i will check for this package [23:34] i have ubuntu set to save my session automatically when i log out [23:34] Random question: are there ubuntu powerpc livecds? [23:34] so i logged out with the battery info app open [23:34] and i log back it and there's two battery icons in teh bar [23:34] ActionParsnip : like ive already said i dont like grub so why would i want it? [23:34] m3ga: 169.x.x.x is the address an adapter gives itself when no dhcp server is found [23:34] ShockF: even if i installed just windows i'd still install a small grub boot loader so microsoft's bootloader didnt have to exist [23:34] m3ga: the 169.. pc gets if sth went wrong, call :sudo dhclient [23:34] I accidentally typed `mount /dev` and now /dev is empty except for a file named initctl. How can I fix this? [23:34] i rightclick one and click remove and both go away [23:34] now how do i get one back [23:34] ShockF: i didnt see you say that [23:35] manevra: I just got soreau's advice to work, so it's definitely doable [23:35] DasEi, genii : thanks. [23:35] any ideas? [23:35] ActionParsnip : no problem [23:35] Anyone know? how do i delete a gconf entry with the gconftool-2 command? I accidentally created an entry with that command when I was trying to change a setting [23:36] m3ga: interfaces set up correctly ? [23:36] interfaces were working correctly. today when awol [23:36] DanaG, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [23:36] Does UbuntuStudio by default use a realtime kernel? [23:36] how can i get the battery icon back now that i removed it? [23:36] Davide: I think it's the -e command (unset); I got this through --help-all [23:37] danobook: was it in the notification area, or the panel? [23:37] m3ga: check /etc/network/interfaces for a line eth0 inet dhcp , and above auto etho, maybe gateway with routers ip [23:37] Broam thank you let me give it a shot [23:37] robysath: if not you can install it easily [23:37] soreau: the cube is awesome. Thanks for the tip even if you were helping someone else [23:37] Broam, not actually sure, the default. basically i have it save sessions when i log out and i restarted with teh battery info window open, it came back up with two battery icons and removing one removed both. [23:37] ssam: thanks. [23:37] Broam: np. [23:38] danobook: which desktop environment? GNOME? [23:38] the /e/n/i entry is correct [23:38] yea, stock ubuntu system, installed yesterday [23:38] Broam, GNOME [23:38] danobook: system->preferences->powermanagement -> general [23:38] hello, im looking for help in getting a ubuntu drive booting again. the sata drive in question was taken from my friends machine and plugged into my external esata dock, to boot, and update 8.04 to the latest packages. then when it was returned to the original machine, it no longer boots or goes to the grub menu. will a 8.04_beta disc be good enough (all ive got) to give to my friend to rescue. [23:38] danobook: I assumed GNOME but thanks ;) [23:39] bouma: 8.04-beta should be enough if all you're doing is fixing the bootloader [23:39] bouma: rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:39] Is there a way to get ssh -D to take any traffic from all addresses? It won't take arguments * or localhost, as "Bad dynamic port" [23:39] Broam, "Only display an icon when charging or discharging." was selected [23:39] i'm on battery right now, probably about 30% [23:39] danobook: for giggles, change it and change it back [23:39] k [23:39] danobook: if that's the cure, it's still annoying [23:40] well i got a popup: 24% remaining [23:40] Anyone in here want to help me with a bluetooth issue? [23:40] Broam: if my friend boots from the 8.04_beta disc, and then picks "reinstall grub/mbr" option from the rescue mode, .. is this the correct action? [23:40] Broam, doesn't appear to have worked [23:40] bouma: I have never done it myself, but I believe that is what you need to do yes [23:40] maxo: you want me to look for a admin in hthe forum ? [23:40] danobook: bleh...let me dig. I'm on a UPS & desktop right now but I can find a laptop [23:40] ActionParsnip: thanks [23:41] Broam, ok thanks [23:41] Broam, it was -u for unset. Thank you very much [23:41] danobook: I'd have you restart the gnome-panel, but that's even worse of a remedy if this is continual [23:41] hi i want to create a virtual windows pc on my notebook (running ver. 9.10) can someone tell me the best program to use? [23:41] Davide: glad to be of service [23:41] Broam, i restarted and it didn't help [23:42] danobook: That is very strange... [23:42] !best | Fuzzy_Wuzzy [23:42] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:42] danobook: I am reaching the limit of my knowledge of that unfortunately. [23:42] i think i know how to reproduce it thuogh [23:42] can you say bug report? :P === chatZilla__ is now known as chatZilla [23:42] danobook: might be worth filing a bug [23:43] does anyone know if there is an application to convert video .avi files to .amv files for viewing on an mp3 player?? [23:43] can anyone tell me if there is a way to deboostrap or other where root is a different arch than the chroot? [23:43] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: there is no best [23:43] Broam, is it an applet? if so what's the name of the battery applet process so i can start it [23:43] danobook: I bet it's gnome-power-manager [23:43] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: there is no best anything, even living isnt best for some people [23:43] danobook: let me pgrep for that [23:43] is there an application to create a virtual windows pc on a machine running 9:10 karmic then [23:44] http://pastebin.com/d70978a35 - can someone help me figure out why 9.10 no longer has a working /proc for me? [23:44] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: vmware and virtualbox are 2 options, but they are not best, nor the worst [23:44] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: virtualbox, vmware-player (nonfree) are two I know of [23:44] Fuzzy_Wuzzy, yes, vmware or virtualbox [23:44] Broam: its strange, because she also has a seagate 1tb sata that has died (probable the well known firmware issue) and with it plugged in it intermittently makes it to the grub menu, but the linux kernel doesnt completely boot, it gives errors. with the 1tb removed it gives a grub error 16, or other grub errors. er16 is unrecognised device path or similar, and implies that the 1tb is somehow needed .. so that the 250G system drive has its [23:44] thanks guys [23:44] - Power Manager is already running in this session.

We were all young once. We were all new once. [23:46] ActionParsnip: if you're going to do that, I know of a good home for it [23:46] Broam, seems like it's running but no icon [23:46] danobook: This is where I'd start cursing, so I'll say nothing instead ;) [23:46] ok [23:46] can anyone point me in the direction of a forum that might be able to help me find an app to convert avi files to amv video files for an mp3 player??? [23:46] Broam: i'd like to have her remove the 1TB and use the 8.04beta to rescue the mbr and ... right, so grub might be booting of the 1tb.. strange. because its ntfs, and doesnt have any linux, and also strange that the 250G drive booted fine from my esata before she left for her home to plug both drives [23:46] Broam: oh i dont i just have to bite my tongue and write the usual stuff when someone says "what's the best" [23:47] rainbowinfinity: looking up amv video format [23:47] rainbowinfinity: what kind of player are you looking to transcode for?
