But you can install it and some other stuff like Java and codecs in the package ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:19] My atheros wifi card doesnt work... can someone help me figure it out and get it working? [00:19] so what type of command is it [00:19] kayla: i have ath wifi, but i'm useless at helping. what version of ubuntu do you have? [00:19] Xubuntu 9.10 [00:20] amy_: You can use apt-get to install. (my last comment was a response to earlier question) [00:20] amy_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:20] boscop, try amixer set Master unmute, also amixer set PCM unmute [00:20] ok thanks [00:20] i just installed totem-xine, and now my totem player doesnt work. synaptic says totem-xine is a 'transitional package'. what does this mean? [00:20] whats the difference between ubuntu alternate cli and server? [00:20] kayla: ok. i had my ath wifi working on jaunty, but not on hardy or karmic. you may want to somehow yank the modules and drivers from jaunty and install them in your current installation. [00:21] amy_: Make sure "restricted" repository is also enabled [00:21] userone, 9.10? [00:21] is the server kernel innapropriate for desktop use? [00:21] kayla: but in saying that, i don't know if it works. i've done forum searches and seen nothing but bad news. [00:21] kostkon: yes, 9.10 64 [00:21] genii: how to enable it [00:22] !repos | amy_ [00:22] amy_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:22] amy_: If you're working in command-line edit the /etc/apt/sources list and uncomment the appropriate ones [00:23] userone, eh, totem-xine has been deprecated so this is a transitional pacakge for peoiple upgrading from 9.04 [00:23] userone, thus, totem-xine actually installs totem-gstreamers [00:24] kostkon: i see. i just 'completely removed' totem-xine, and now totem works again just fine. i dont know what just happened, but its fixed [00:25] userone, :) [00:25] kostkon: I tried it but "amixer set Master unmute" seems to behave like "on" and the other results in: amixer: Invalid command! [00:25] boscop, try installing alsa-utils then [00:26] kostkon: I have alsamixer, alsactl and alsa [00:26] is that enough= [00:26] ? [00:26] boscop, then use alsamixer [00:26] How does Ubuntu 9.10 install work? Does today's install differ from last weeks's or do you have the same older stuff installed and then update to todays 9.10? [00:26] boscop, insteead of calling amixer. or if oyu want install gnome-alsamixer for a gui [00:26] kostkon: i am trying to play a vob from my hdd. i have installed totem, mplayer, xine, vlc and even avidemux and still nothing plays it. any ideas? [00:27] Colonel_Panik: if you install from the CD, you'll get 9.10 as it was at the time of the original release. [00:27] kostkon: No, I want a command that I can run on startup, no GUI, because on startup the volume is 0 [00:27] Colonel_Panik: Then, you can install whatever updates may have come up. [00:27] userone, no :( [00:27] Colonel_Panik: however, if you update online from 9.04 to 9.10, you will get the latest versions of everything. [00:27] Hi [00:27] boscop, then install the package alsa-utils to get amixer [00:27] falseflag911, I dont kow how to do that [00:27] kostkon: I have amixer [00:27] can empathy do photo sharing with a windows client [00:27] boscop, sure? [00:28] kostkon: the commands I used were amixer commands [00:28] I'm going to upgrade (finally) to 9.10, but I don't want to spend days to get back all the packages I need [00:28] kostkon: scroll back if you don't believe me [00:28] Somebody once told me there was a way to save that list, so my question is: how? [00:28] boscop, ok [00:28] cdm10, the cd or the iso on ubuntu.com or are they the same? Does Ubuntu update the current iso.? [00:28] kostkon: thanks anyway [00:28] userone, np [00:29] cd means iso. No, the ISO is not updated. [00:29] !clone | Glowball [00:29] Glowball: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [00:29] kostkon: once I unmute it via a gui (the button in the panel) muting and unmuting via amixer works [00:29] cdm10, thanks muchly! [00:29] Glowball: tell me if that works. i'm gettign errors on it. [00:29] Colonel_Panik: no problem. [00:29] boscop, hmm [00:29] kostkon: but as soon as I use the gui to mute it, or at startup, it doesn't work [00:30] I am looking for a 1920x1080 rendition of the default desktop background from Karmic Koala. Google Images is not being useful. Where else may I find it? [00:30] kayla: it confuses me too. you can DL stuff from packages.ubuntu.com, but that's annoying when there are dependencies. i think you should read about the backports repo. apparently that has something to do with it. [00:31] bastid_raZor: Creating the file, or using it to restore from it? [00:31] bastid_raZor: Creating seems to work fine. Restoring.. I certainly hope so... [00:31] Glowball: the first aptitude command.. it did create the mypackages file? [00:31] Yes [00:32] Glowball: possibly, i'm having typo's.. [00:32] using 9.04, I recently upgraded via Update Manager to the latest kernel (2.6.28-16) and now Volume Applet (2.26.1) no longer works at all. Only using Volume Control allows me to change the volume at all [00:32] But on opening it, I see some words are split where they shouldn't.. [00:32] Well, at hyphens, that is [00:32] Glowball: uh, like what? [00:32] alsa- *enter* base [00:32] uhm [00:32] Glowball: if you're doing an upgrade, you'll keep your current packages [00:33] Glowball: i have a failing harddrive.. that may possibly part of the cause [00:33] Glowball: or will you do a fresh install ? [00:33] DasEi4: I know, but I'm freshly reinstalling ;) [00:33] hey how can I transfer a file from my desktop via ssh to my server in the command line? [00:33] Using my hard drive a little bit more efficiently [00:33] Glowball: then that won't work, as the versions differ, can only use it as a list [00:34] Atm I have about 10GB unallocated space.. [00:34] man scp | thenetduck [00:34] thanks [00:34] i'm using 9.10, and pressing a button while i move my cursor makes the cursor temporarily freeze. this does not happen on windows vista. any ideas? [00:35] DasEi4: You're saying that it won't work because of differences in 9.04-9.10? [00:35] thenetduck: if you want to do it from inside ssh rsync is nice, too [00:35] Glowball: yes, as this list generates more then just the plain packet-names [00:36] DasEi4: So what can I do to fix that? [00:38] ciao [00:38] !list [00:38] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [00:38] Glowball: ah, I'm sorry, just saw the factoid changed from dpkg to the aptitudes variant, so I was wrong, no that will work, you get just the plain paketnames from that [00:39] DasEi4: Ah, ok.. And what about the enters? [00:39] Can i install Ubuntu on a external hard drive? [00:39] yep [00:39] Splunge: sure [00:39] Glowballs: enters ? entrys ? [00:39] really? is there a special command?

[01:53] kayla, what about sudo fdisk -l [01:53] and I dont want to use any stick notes apps [01:53] codeyman, you will need an application for that though [01:54] lockd: app is fine as long as it is invisible to me [01:54] you can really set anything as your root window and replace the gnome desktop, but I don't think that's what you want [01:55] lockd: I know that.. I dont use gnome (I use wmii) [01:55] so any app that can magically make my desktop writable would go great with the tablet [01:55] if i installed a custom grub in /opt/grub2 where do i put my grub.cfg? [01:55] hello [01:56] could i get some help with a fullscreen game problem? [01:57] I installed gnome-do and docky ... then after restarting my computer I can't move my mouse proertly... Why? i've unticked them from my gnome-session-properties [01:57] I got an ip-adress from my dhcp-server (192.168.1.33) and I cant use it to browse into the webserver as http:192.168.1.33:80 just localhost or 127.0.0.1 are available! [01:57] besides tvtime is there another tv application, i can get my hauppauge tuner to work ok under mplayer but changing channels is cavemen dated [01:57] how can I bind this ip to reconize my localhost? [01:57] Adam75, i kinda doubt there is a direct connection between the two [01:57] kreppnar:don't ask to ask, just ask [01:57] haha well i just cant figure it out [01:57] doom 3, quake wars [01:57] i get into the game [01:57] DBO; You do? I think there is.. everythin worked fine.. before installing them [01:58] then my cursor dissapears [01:58] usr13, Out_Cold , http://paste2.org/p/537986 [01:58] creeed: from where to do you want to access the server ? [01:58] but when i open the console in the game, i get my cursor back [01:58] I just put a new hard drive into my computer. When I start the computer, it's significantly louder than the other hard drive that was already in the computer. What can I use in Ubuntu that might help me diagnose the hard drive and see if the noise levels are a concern or not? [01:58] Adam75, did you try uninstalling them? [01:58] DasEi4, browser [01:58] webbrowser [01:58] even if its in a window mode [01:58] DBO; How do I uninstall them from terminal? [01:58] !enter | kreppnar [01:58] kreppnar: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === TcP is now known as Guest67310 [01:58] creeed: network was the quest [01:58] Adam75, sudo aptitude remove gnome-do [01:58] DBO; sudo dpkg -l | grep Gnome Do [01:58] sudo dpkg -l | grep Gnome? [01:58] kayla, sudo fdisk -l (lower case L) [01:59] codeyman, I'm afraid there is no app for that so far on Linux, try searching within compiz plug-ins maybe ? [01:59] hey whats up room im having problems with virtualbox like setting it up seems to be somewhat difficult to me. I dunno why. But my problem is it wont boot any disk any ideas you guys [01:59] ? [01:59] gluonman: smartmontools offer lot's of reporting, else get a live tool from the vendor [01:59] DasEi4, I just want to access my computer with the dhcp-ip-adress from the webbrowser! [01:59] any ideas? [01:59] ok.. I'll search. [01:59] creeed: from where ? inside the lan or from the inet ? [01:59] Anyone else find that flash SUCKS on linux? lol. It seems that 75% of the time flash refuses to accept input events (clicking, etc) [02:00] Guest67310, did you set up an iso file as a cdrom image? [02:00] Guest67310, Did you download it from th reps. or from the website ? [02:00] the* [02:00] Dasda, inside the lan first [02:00] DBO; and for gnome docky? [02:00] besides tvtime is there another tv application, i can get my hauppauge tuner to work, it works ok under mplayer but changing channels is cavemen dated [02:00] DasEi4, I'll give that a try. Thanks [02:00] DasEi4, I added the ip-address to the host-file bur no success! [02:00] Adam75, are you using standalone docky (the new one) or the old one that shipped with GNOME Do? [02:00] hi, does anyone have any experience with installing ubuntu moblin remix ontop of a karmic install? are there any instructions on how to do it, any known issues, is it even possible? [02:00] DBO; I installed Gnome-DO first, then docky.. [02:01] DBO; I will try to reboot now after uninstalling gnome do [02:01] Adam75, sudo aptitude remove docky [02:01] out_Cold Black_phantom na i didnt set up the cdrom as an image and i downloaded it from the website the rep is ose and it doesnt have the usb boot [02:01] creeed: I still don't get you; you got two machines in a lan that you want to connect ? [02:01] neon_ kaffeine has a tv player support [02:01] neon_ try that [02:01] DasEi4, even in the same computer I cant access to the webserver when I use the ip-address, which I got from the dhcp server, I can just use localhost hostname or 127.0.0.1 [02:01] Out_Cold, http://paste2.org/p/537992 [02:01] DBO; I'm rebooting now, I've just uninst gnome.do.. lets see [02:01] Guest67310, you have the VM installed though? [02:02] DasEi4, bestimmt kannstu deutsch, oder? [02:02] creeed: you run a webserver on that, ja, ubuntu-de ? [02:02] DBO; I can't click anything.. and my mouse is moving in strange ways [02:02] out_Cold yes its installed. really i dont know how to use it. i know at school i just open vmware and stick the cd in and click start and it automatically starts [02:03] im not sure what the problem is here [02:03] Guest67310, you have a cd you want to boot or an iso file? [02:03] a cd [02:03] Adam75, did you reboot? [02:03] Out_Cold a cd [02:03] amarok won't play! [02:03] DBO; uninst gnome-do didnt work [02:04] Adam75, not surprised === Guest67310 is now known as TCP [02:04] DBO; uninstalled gnome docky now [02:04] Adam75, its just "docky" not "gnome docky" [02:04] Guest67310, you need to set the options when you make a new OS setup. Which means you probably also have to create a new setup for an OS. I recommend starting off with the help menu ;) [02:04] Adam75, I should know, I wrote it :P [02:04] DBO; I know, uninst.. docky.. nothing === TCP is now known as Guest72596 [02:04] anyone know why? [02:04] DBO; What can be wronng? ;/ [02:04] Adam75, again not surprised, Docky doesn't screw with your mouse in any realistic way [02:04] window show 1 [02:05] Black_Phantom: I got 8.10 to install on the laptop, I ran the command you told me to run to check the graphics chipset, and it is a intel 82830 chipset [02:05] Adam75, install any updates recently [02:05] Out_Cold when i click start i get Fatal Error: no bootable medium found [02:05] does i686 stuff run on Atom? [02:05] Adam75, try sudo aptitude remove gnome-do-docklets [02:05] anyone? [02:06] zerq, so far as i can tell, yes. I'm running i686 stuff on an ASUS Eee PC [02:06] what does i686 even mean? [02:06] Black_Phantom; Trying now [02:06] Referes to a generation of x86 CPUs [02:06] ok [02:07] you have 386, 486 etc [02:07] Hi, I use a notebook from dubai with german keyboard layout but i need some customisation because i am missing the # and the <> characters. [02:07] DBO; I don't know.. I've rebooted comp several times.. just this time made it fuck up [02:07] how could i set up my own combinations? [02:07] Guest72596, that's because you have not set any options. when creating a new OS, you need to make a disk image and also add a cd drive to access if you are using a cd to install [02:07] my first computer was a 486 [02:08] Adam75, for the sake of sanity, have you tried another mouse? [02:08] Now I need to see if I can get a customised e16wm running instead of the GNOME netbook interface. [02:08] mine was a Sinclair. [02:08] at least first store bought computer. [02:08] DBO; I don't have another mouse ,/ [02:08] but i mean 486 from the 90's [02:08] DBO; my mouse moves.. i just can't click anywhere and it doesn't move the way i want it to [02:08] tokam: Here's mine: #<> [02:08] Out_Cold lol all i had to do was edit my settings so that it will mount the cdrom drive [02:08] Adam75, can you be a little more descriptive about "not moving the way I want it to"? [02:09] hi all [02:09] what re u trying to tell me usr13? I need help to costumise my layout. [02:09] how is it going tonight [02:09] DBO; Trying to move left causes it to move barely right [02:09] !hi | randy_ [02:09] randy_: 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! [02:09] dang .. can't remember if the sinclair was 70's or 80's [02:09] joshritger, one moment [02:09] 80s iirc [02:09] early 80s maybe late 70s [02:09] Black_Phantom: np [02:09] kayla, maybe try this out? http://www.koppenburg.org/D90/v1.html#mount [02:09] does anyone have any experience with installing ubuntu moblin remix ontop of a karmic install? are there any instructions on how to do it, any known issues, is it even possible? [02:09] My grandpa had one [02:09] Adam75, I really think you need to find someones mouse to borrow to test with [02:10] 81 [02:10] my problem is, that i have no letter next to the german y (english z) [02:10] Guest72596, sounds about right. you also need a hard disk image if you plan to actually install anything [02:10] sup randy_ === cryptk_ is now known as cryptk|away [02:10] and there we usually have this brackets in germany. [02:10] !moblin [02:10] tokam: perhaps something like this? http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~mikosmul/computing/articles/custom-keyboard-layouts-xkb.html [02:10] hi ripper [02:10] DBO; Works fine on my other computer.. [02:11] joshritger, how is the graphics working ? [02:11] hey ripper do you know about ubuntu 9.10 segfaulting on everything [02:11] Adam75, interesting... if it helps, I am completely stumped [02:11] different than 9.04 and 9.10 joshritger [02:11] ? [02:11] yeah thats it trism: but looks like it takes long time! [02:11] i've seen it segmentation fault on a few things, but not with EVERY action you do. [02:11] ok, so i've been searching all night and haven't found anything useful... does anyone know of just a simple program that will show what windows on the desktop are running? (sort of like a clickable alt+tab) [02:12] even update manger is segfaulting [02:12] kayla, while it may not be a perfect solution, if it works, it works ;) [02:12] hi - i just upgraded to 9.10 and get an imminent disk failure warning through a very nice graphical smart program - the only problem reported is "seek eror rate" - is this likely to be accurate or could it be a mistake in the sw? [02:12] joshritger, try "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" [02:12] Black_Phantom: the graphics run fine on 8.04 and 8.10, but the last two releases have video problems [02:12] does anyone else know about the segfault problem with ubuntu 9.10 [02:12] how would i get to a console mode in 9.10UNR? when i do ctrl-alt-del to kill the wm/de i only get options for restart, shutdown, hibernate etc [02:13] randy_: check your memory [02:13] randy_, never run into it yet [02:13] thrope: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php [02:13] joshritger, I guess that is because they marked them as restricted drivers on 9.04 & 9.10, did you check 'Hardware drivers' in System > Admin > Hardware drivers and check if they were restricted ? [02:13] did memstat no errors [02:13] it seems memtest86+ would be in good order [02:13] how can I access from my local machine to my webserver using the lan ip address (example http://192.168.2.2:80) [02:13] thrope: sudo ./hdsentinel [02:14] Black_Phantom: I checked for restricted drivers in the newer releases and got nothing [02:14] thrope, run smartctl -A, It'll show you everything the drive is telling. [02:14] joshritger, did you try "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" ? [02:14] randy_, they are talking about you running memtest86+ [02:14] jazzencat: Ctrl-Alt-F6 [02:14] rpr: ok - but I have all that info through the nice palimpsest utility [02:14] i have a copy [02:14] thanks, usr13 [02:14] did last night no erros [02:14] want me to bring it to you? [02:14] hello, can someone help me install java, i am getting an error during the extracting phase: ./jre-6u17-linux-i586.bin: 366 .install.sfx.2472: not found [02:15] I am currently in 8.10, I can try 9.10 and that, but I have to load the live cd first to try it [02:15] creeed: ssh 192.168.2.2 [02:15] DBO; Should i run recovery mode? [02:15] !java | me__ [02:15] me__: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [02:15] me__, are you compiling ? [02:15] Black_Phantom:I am currently in 8.10, I can try 9.10 and that, but I have to load the live cd first to try it [02:15] hrmmm [02:15] joshritger, I dont think you can test it on the live cd, since when you reboot ( which you need when you install the driver ) it will reset everything back === me__ is now known as me [02:16] randy_'s memtest86 ran with no errors last night (he's my roomie) and were both confused about this. [02:16] besides tvtime is there another tv application, i can get my hauppauge tuner to work, it works ok under mplayer but changing channels is cavemen dated === me is now known as Guest11682 [02:16] usr13: hdsential reports Est. lifetime: 0 days - uh oh [02:16] Black_Phantom: oh, didn't think of that, I will try reinstalling 9.10 and then try to instasll the intel driver how you told me to, I will let you know if that works [02:16] firefox, gache, update manager, all show segfault [02:16] thrope, then you should be abl to tell if other parameters are high too. If it's only the seek error rate then maybe it's not too bad. [02:17] randy_: strace something until it crashes and paste the log [02:17] neon_: have you tried mythtv? i use it with a hauppauge tuner all the time [02:17] macd, you around? [02:17] rpr: everything else is fine - just seek error rate, but it reports imminent failure [02:17] thrope: Maybe it's time for a new one? [02:17] Black_Phantom: i am following the instructions here: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting [02:17] jaypetey: mythtv setup is torture to say the elast [02:18] joshritger, if it didnt we have a choice to download the driver from Intel's website and to compile it manually :) [02:18] Guest11270, what version are you using of Ubuntu ? [02:18] and yes, i tried it i have a hauppauge 1600, it works great under mplayer just changing channels is ridicously painful [02:18] neon_: what is wrong with changing channel via mplayer? [02:18] i have to use ivtv-tune command [02:18] Black_Phantom: how do i find out/ [02:19] thrope, the "imminent failure" is reported because the seek error rate is higher than the mfg likes. [02:19] i get the remote recognize with lirc but i can't change channels [02:19] Black_Phantom: 9.10 [02:19] running [02:19] Black_Phantom: ok, thanks, will be back after it installs [02:19] DasEi4, I'm not sure what to look out for in /var/log/messages after I run smartd [02:19] Guest11682, then just go to Ubuntu Software Center under Applications > search 'Java' and click install then everything goes on automatically [02:20] rpr: i dont really understand this line 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 027 026 030 Pre-fail Always FAILING_NOW 3234141511934 [02:20] because 27 is value, 26 is worst and 30 is threshold [02:20] Black_Phantom: there are many options.. [02:20] so it looks like 27 is below the threshold... but perhaps im reading it wrong [02:20] Guest11270, to be more accurate "Sun Java 6 Runtime" [02:21] guest11682, to be more accurate "Sun Java 6 Runtime" [02:21] how can you check/change how long sudo remembers that you entered your password until it decides to forget it? [02:22] s3a: man sudoers [; [02:22] Out_Cold Yea i have it installed it works perfectly now. in order for the virtualbox to boot off the cd virtualbox has to mount the drive in order to boot from it [02:22] rpr: it mustbe a mistake right? the raw value is 3234141511934 [02:22] does anyone know of a window picker program/applet/screenlet that would work in both compiz and openbox? [02:22] s3a, I assume it is 60 minutes [02:23] Dbo--- mouse doesn work.. i just tried keyboard [02:23] Black_Phantom, isnt it more like 5 min the default? [02:23] thrope, the 027 is the seek error rate scaled to 100...0. 100 means perfect and 0 means dead. 30 is the limit that the mfg set. 27<30 so the SW issues the warning. [02:23] Out_Cold lol sorry dude didnt know i was reading old post. but hey thanks for the help. [02:23] How can I check my harddrive to make sure it's reliable before I transfer my data to it? [02:23] http://pastebin.com/m318105a5 this is all I can get from strace my system froze up [02:23] rpr: oh right, lower numbers... got it.. makes sense then that it is below threshold... try to get it changed next week [02:23] so i just installed a LVM partitioned server setup and on boot, i get that the /dev/mapper/media-root does not exist, that it's dropping to busybox shell... any ideas? i already went back and tried to repartition the LVMs [02:23] Black_Phantom: thanks! java is working now [02:23] s3a, do you actually want to change the time limit ? [02:23] guest116, Np:) [02:24] gluonman: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php [02:24] thorpe, the raw value doesn't mean anything unless you have drive manual. It's often bitfields, not just a count. [02:24] Black_Phantom, no i dont lol, i just want to know for configuring other systems in the future [02:24] gluonman: sudo ./hdsentinel [02:24] usr13, I'll check that out. [02:25] guys i somehow changed the gdm login screen in karmic,i wish to change it back to its default,anybody know the command to reset it? [02:25] Black_Phantom, well i do but not yet i just rather know things in advance [02:25] Black_Phantom, (not on my system) [02:25] s3a: read the friendly sudoers manpage [02:25] it's in there. [02:25] elchiludo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-10223.html [02:26] password/timestamp_timeout [02:26] friendly and manpage don't go well in the same sentence [02:26] rpr: thanks for the help [02:26] it looks pretty decent imo [02:27] @usr13 it doesnt work like that in karmic,karmic took off the gdm customization for a faster boot [02:27] s3a, to make stuff easier/safer try "sudo su" it will make you root forever ( I guess not sure ) [02:27] guys, my mouse doesn't like flash programs, it wont click the buttons its so bizzare. I have no idea where to even start looking. Any ideas? [02:27] rpr: do you know if its worth unmounting or turning off the machine for the time being [02:27] rpr: its a while before I can get physical access [02:27] Black_Phantom, i think it's sudo -i [02:28] it is sudo -i [02:28] oh yeah, thanks Out_Cold [02:28] sudo su works as well [02:28] both sudo -i and sudo su work [02:28] I just know su from debian :) [02:28] well i have su [02:28] can anyone help me get audio capture to work in vlc using a creative live notebook cam... I get video in VLC, cheese, skype but no matter what I can't get the audio off my webcam mic in VLC, I can tell i sound prefs that the mic is turned on. please help. [02:28] guys, my mouse doesn't like flash programs, it wont click the buttons its so bizzare. I have no idea where to even start looking. Any ideas? [02:28] anyways given that i need to reasd alot, ill just do this later because i have homework [02:28] im running karmic [02:29] con-man, but acts differently than sudo -i... sudo su creates 2 commands while sudo -i does only 1 [02:29] elchiludo: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO/automation_login_screen.html [02:29] How does one fix the error concerning "gdm-binary[7671]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.278336 seconds [02:29] Out_Cold, is the end result not the same? [02:29] thrope, if you're concerned for your data then I'd just unmount the drive and keep it spinning unless it makes noises [02:29] brian183, #videolan :) [02:29] thats more like it!! thanxs @usr13 [02:29] goodbye [02:29] brian183, #videolan is made for VLC [02:30] fair enough [02:30] con-man, depends on the usage. i can't remember the exact differences but the sudo su can cause complications [02:30] con-man: it's a bug in gtk2.18 [02:30] DaZ, about the sudo stuff or my mouse not working in flash? [02:30] Out_Cold: Doesnt cause any complications, but the user might. [02:30] con-man: explain me how can gtk be related to sudo <: [02:31] DaZ, so upgrade my gtk? [02:31] How does one fix the GDM display erroring from the upgrade to 9.10? [02:31] con-man: 2.18 is the newest [02:31] DaZ, so downgrade? [02:31] con-man: so live with it [02:31] lol [02:31] con-man: does it sometimes work or only doesn't? [02:31] DaZ, its intermittent [02:32] DaZ, mostly doesn't but if I click enough times it works for a few clicks [02:32] con-man: then it can be something else :f [02:32] DaZ: gksu - GTK+ frontend for su and sudo [02:32] DaZ, and its not something that I can live with, I may as well not have flash installed at all its so useless [02:33] (gksu for su and gksudo for sudo) [02:33] usr13: thank you, cpt. obvious [02:33] con-man: 64bits? [02:33] DaZ, yessir [02:34] con-man: are you using 64bit flashplayer or 32 through a wrapper? :f [02:34] Is anyone known with the GDM Display errors, and willing to help out? [02:34] Da [02:34] DaZ, how can I check [02:36] I ran strace on firefox and my system froze up ripper is ssh in my system and was able to unfreeze it should I try to run strace again [02:36] I ran some diagnostics on a harddrive I just installed in my computer. It says everything is fine, but it's electric discharges are really loud, like those old computers. Is there any reason to be concerned? Should I move the HDD to another spot? [02:36] heh my other ssh session locked up randy_ , was running strace on /bin/bash [02:37] con-man: that's a hard question [; [02:37] damn it man what is up with 9.10 [02:37] randy_: it works for everyone else [02:37] anyone here know how I can check if I am running 64 bit flash or 32 bit flash with a wrapper? [02:37] DaZ, he has no memory issues. [02:37] RaNdY, you could move to the user friendly windows 7 at $199.99 US [02:38] not [02:38] con-man: dpkg -L pkg-name or less /var/lib/dpkg/info/flash [02:38] windows 7 is not worth using as hobo toilet paper. [02:38] con-man: dpkg -L pkg-name or less /var/lib/dpkg/info/flash* [02:38] that true ripper [02:38] but who would spend $199.99 for Win7 when you can use Ubuntu at the cost of $0 and configure it to your own liken [02:38] con-man: dpkg -L pkg-name or ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/flash* [02:39] right [02:39] very true Unruly-1 [02:39] * DaZ would.

[02:40] for some reason my ubuntu keeps freezing up to the roint I have to hard boot [02:40] then today I got segfault on anything I tried to run [02:40] Is anyone well aware of LVM2 based systems? I'm trying to set up a partition on a recently installed system (9.10) with normal partitions except for a big partition on an LVM base. However with 9.10 and 9.04 dmmod should be in the kernel. How can i find it? [02:40] Booted up and my laptop has arbitrarily decided at first not to play any sound in Flash apps, and now it has chosen not to load them at all. -No updates or installations were made in the past 2 days.

[02:42] s/uyou/you [02:42] ]pablo[, i was using debian and i noticed that they use a lot of older "stable" versions of software. ubuntu uses new "stable" software [02:42] im trying to smbmount and im using -o username=Guest but my windows computer has no password for my Guest account and smbmount is asking me for password [02:42] i try just hitting enter but it tells me Sorry, try again [02:42] Will it work out of the box, or do i need a driver?

[03:03] DaZ, what do I do with the .so file? [03:03] hey, I just got an issue here... [03:03] fbdystang: What sort of scripts?

Crontab doesn't seem to work and I assume someone has written a nice gui for this type of scripting [03:05] fbdystang: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [03:05] anybody here can explain to me why port 80 isn't working on Ubuntu Server 9.10 when it comes to services listening on that port? [03:05] I've checked IPtables and ip6tables, seems like it's not blocking port 80 [03:05] con-man: cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [03:05] fbdystang: install alarm-clock [03:06] con-man: Does it work?

[03:07] con-man: Yes [03:07] drastic: Intermittent and blank page doesn't sound like DNS problem (I could be mistaken) [03:07] con-man: May not even need to restart.. [03:07] con-man: But probably do [03:08] anyone here good with grub ? im trying to change /dev/sdi1 to the drives UUID... else it wont boot when my other drives arent connected [03:08] curriegrad2004: Maybe you have something listening on port 80? Use netstat -a. [03:08] turns up empty [03:08] nothing on www [03:09] usr13, didnt work >< do I have to remove the other installs of flash? [03:09] senioriz: sudo blkid [03:09] and this is a fresh install of ubuntu [03:09] con-man: Maybe so... [03:09] the only other thing I installed on there is gw6c [03:09] usr13, k [03:10] senioriz yea but should i just change it in grub.cfg ? switch root=/dev/sdi1 to root= the uuid ? [03:10] curriegrad2004: you have to be root to use a port <1024 [03:10] is there a way to overcome that limitation? [03:10] con-man: sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so [03:10] because I've got icecast installed using the defaults [03:11] so I don't think there's a reason to run icecast2 in root [03:11] CentOS did let me do that, but ubuntu server isn't letting me listen on port 80 === k is now known as Guest6682 [03:13] curriegrad2004: You can make the program owned by root and use SETUID (see man chmod.) Or use sudo. [03:13] Has anyone been successful with solving the "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS..." problem? [03:13] I am still here === Guest6682 is now known as kevin___ [03:14] Has anyone been successful with solving the "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS..." problem? [03:14] I can't seem to find a solution to this anywhere [03:14] i jusgt installed firefox 3.6 beta 4 the other day and it launched just fine at first but now when i click on the firefox icon it wont launch it ,if i del it and unzip it again then make a new launcher it will launch for a while then stop whats going on [03:14] usr13, now flash wont load at all [03:14] rrohbeck: icecast2 is owned by root [03:15] kevin___, that's a generic message you see every time the kernel dies. Usually HW or driver problem. [03:15] webbb82: chances are when you are quitting firefox is still running but it isn't complaining that it is next time it stops drop to a terminal and do a ps auxww | grep firefox and see if it is still there [03:15] rrohbeck, its definatly a problem closely related to Wubi and the latest uupgrades on 9.10 karmic [03:16] DasEi4 should i just change it in grub.cfg ? change root=/dev/sdi1 to root= the uuid ? [03:16] rrohbeck, i'm not alone w/ this problem -- its all over the forums but nobody has found a solution (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/151146) [03:16] cowbud, brian@netbook:~$ ps auxww | grep firefox [03:16] brian 4451 0.0 0.0 3036 804 pts/1 S+ 19:16 0:00 grep --color=auto firefox [03:16] curriegrad2004: But does it have the setuid bit set? ls -l should start with -rws [03:16] Black_Phantom: I tried installing the newest intel driver as you described, it said I had the newest version, I also found a fix I want to try that involves adding a line to xorg.conf, but I can't find xorg.conf in xubuntu 9.10 [03:16] does anyone have any experience with installing ubuntu moblin remix ontop of a karmic install? are there any instructions on how to do it, any known issues, is it even possible? [03:17] great, icecast2 won't let me run in root [03:18] webbb82: try with grep -i firefox [03:18] Anyone able to helo=p with a virtualbox file sharing problem? [03:18] scyx, there is a package ubuntu-netbook-remix in the repositories, not sure about the moblin remix having such a package, unless it is in a PPA [03:18] cowbud, what will that do [03:18] does anyone else find ubuntu packages are a bit bastardised? [03:18] rrohbeck: ERROR: You should not run icecast2 as root [03:18] webbb82: case insensitive if it is named Firefox it will show up [03:18] kevin___: Sorry, I've never used Wubi. [03:19] like what is the point in pulling down gcj with open office [03:19] I have a windows 7 guest installed on my karmic ubuntu [03:19] i mean, really [03:19] its ridiculous [03:19] I have the guest additions installed and the shared folder created on my host [03:19] senioriz: no, fstab has to be altered, and look for /etc/default/grub, run update grub afterwards [03:19] cowbud, its still searching [03:19] echosystm: uh cause openoffice uses a lot of java also [03:19] but I cannot find the shared folder inside the guest network [03:20] oh really cowbud? i never knew that [03:20] echosystm: yeah if you don't install java you only get so much of the functionaliy [03:20] looks like changing to uuid worked.. nice ... why doesnt grub in ubuntu use uuid by default anyway? [03:20] who would have thought suns cross-platform office system would use their own programming language... [03:20] in the firefox folder do i want to launch it with the file firefox or firefox.bin [03:20] (im being sarcastic) [03:20] or can someone at least point me in the right direction, and not another link [03:20] !blkid | senioriz [03:20] senioriz: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [03:20] or do i move the .bin file to the bin folder? [03:20] yee i know [03:20] lol [03:21] if you have java-jre/jdk, ubuntu still pulls down gcj [03:21] curriegrad2004: You'll have to search the documentation. If it's supposed to run on port 80 there must be a simple way. [03:21] which is moronic [03:21] am just wondering why grub still uses /dev/sdX instead of UUID's by default [03:21] seems weird [03:21] webbb82: just the firefox one it is a script that will load the bin one [03:21] because its easier senioriz [03:21] ok grep -i firefox is still doing somthing [03:21] okay, thanks rrohbeck [03:21] easier.. depends :p [03:22] i think [03:22] senioriz: Karmic install uses UIDs [03:22] mine didnt [03:22] :/ [03:22] webbb82: you have to do ps auxwww | grep -i firefox not just grep -i firefox otherwise it will just sit there, hit ctrl-c [03:22] So no one has any idea abbout virtualbox here? [03:22] it went down a line and it just blinking [03:22] senioriz: grub-install -v returns ? [03:22] whats the issue Greencoat1982? [03:22] Greencoat1982: I do but I missed your question [03:22] I am trying to move files from a windows 7 guest to my karmic host [03:22] brian 4462 0.0 0.0 3036 860 pts/1 S+ 19:22 0:00 grep --color=auto -i firefox [03:23] thats wha i get [03:23] I have the guest additions installed [03:23] use samba [03:23] and the host shared folder created [03:23] gimme a sec DasEi4.. comp not on atm, -v means version ? its 1.97 beta something [03:23] Greencoat1982: share files in your host OS and then connect to the share via your guest [03:23] I have samba installed [03:23] but I cannot find the share from the guest [03:23] hello all [03:23] I look in the network tab but nothing is there [03:23] mount it manually [03:24] smbmount or whatever, i forget the command [03:24] Greencoat1982: more a virtualboxquestion, guetextensions installed, define a shared folder, can drag them over, or even copy n paste when configured properly [03:24] Thats what I remembered from my older installs [03:24] senioriz: k then , 1 or higher is grub2 [03:24] but it doesn't seem to like this time === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [03:24] I can't get the usb working either [03:24] Greencoat1982: Add the host's IP address to \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts [03:25] Greencoat1982: start->run \\192.168.XX.XX will connect to your host you don't have to add the IP anywhere [03:25] how do I edit xorg in xubuntu/ubuntu 9.10 [03:25] It doesn't appear to be there? [03:25] joshritger1: same as before [03:25] I can use the XX's? [03:25] joshritger1, you should be able to create it [03:25] Greencoat1982: no you have to know the ip of your host machine [03:26] cowbud, what does that mean [03:26] brian 4468 0.0 0.0 3036 804 pts/1 S+ 19:25 0:00 grep --color=auto firefox [03:26] what quickest way to get two ubuntu machines to files share on a home router?

[03:27] ok, whats the command to show my ip in terminal in karmic again? [03:27] I guess the problem is that I have a flashing screen due to shotty intel drivers for the intel 82830 chipset [03:27] Greencoat1982: ifconfig [03:28] and it would be the "inet addr:" right?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:42] kev_, ok unless someone is more prificient with sound issues here ...

[03:45] open in gedit and pastebin? [03:46] hi can anybody answer my question? [03:46] aishumoorthy: i did and the answer is no [03:46] upgrayedd, well depends on your client if xchat go to Sever/List of channels [03:46] aishumoorthy: at least with pidgin, see http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/PlainTextPasswords [03:46] what do i type in, plz just tell me [03:47] upgrayedd, which channel do you want to join [03:47] cowbud, http://pastebin.com/m3367ddc1 [03:47] any chanel [03:47] webb82: no just go to accessories->password and encryption-> then there is a folder upgrayedd, well as I said ...in the place you type for use to see type /join #alsa for example [03:48] upgrayedd, rather where you type when you want us to see what you are saying [03:48] goose what file system is on the drive your trying to mount [03:48] I need a fix for broken nis packages.

[03:50] webbb82: if that is all it points to then you need to actually install the firefox install for that to work at all look how it referecnes /usr/local/lib [03:50] kev_, well if you are on ubuntu 9.10 and you remove pulse you are also going to stop certain sounds like mouse over previews [03:50] coz_: well on the intranet you can see everybody on my network but me! [03:50] I tried to burn a liveCD (3GB iso file) to a DVD+R. But it said that the DVD+R only had 1.4GB of free space when the cover says its capacity is 4.7GB. It burnt anyway and said it was successful, but my computer is entirely unable to boot from the disc. [03:50] how do i install the firefox folder [03:51] What should I do? [03:51] kev_, if esound is what you want then perhaps ...as I mentioned... #alsa channle may have more help or maybe an #esound channel...but would ask what the downside or removing pulse will do first [03:51] cowbud, i was always told to just click on the firefox file [03:51] kev_, I am not sure of all that pulse will stop if removed since it is being more and more incorporated into gnome [03:51] coz_:I narrowed it down to nis packages but when I try to apt-get I get a error message saying packages are broken [03:51] . [03:52] ironfoot495, ok if on gnome open /system/administration/synaptic package manager [03:52] ironfoot495, then under Edit clic Fox broken packages [03:52] Anyone know where a dump of the Ubuntu wiki is?

I really love there distro's but it's aggrevating. [04:02] nullbyte, once you are used to the speeds of questions and answers here in #ubuntu other channels may seem a bit sluggish lol [04:03] Greencoat1982: it is /etc/init.d/ssh (no d) [04:03] cuz_: do you have any other ideas [04:03] ??

[04:05] hey, nullbyte, you should be able to do stuff from like a live cd or DSL or sumthin [04:05] webbb82, you might better off with the synaptic however if you read the README file located in the pacakge it may be of help [04:05] hi all, i m using HP dv6t laptop - installed Ubuntu - when i start the ubuntu - my wireless is not working... the wireless Led switch is not working... some one came across this issue [04:05] because it wont launch [04:05] diablo456 [04:05] webbb82: What happens if you try running this in your terminal: firefox [04:05] webbb82: own you own risk can add daily build-repo to sourceslist [04:05] ironfoot495, the thing you tried to install that gave a broken package error...what is that called?? [04:05] !latest [04:05] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [04:05] is there a way to force install the firexox 3.6 beta in ssynaptic [04:06] cuz_: oh! nis [04:06] ironfoot495, also if you type the first few letters of someone's nick then hit tab you will get the right spelling and that person's text will change colors [04:06] webbb82: Open a terminal and type firefox then press enter to try and see what the problem is [04:06] The program 'firefox' can be found in the following packages: [04:06] * firefox-3.5 [04:06] * firefox-3.0 [04:06] Try: sudo apt-get install [04:06] webbb82: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:06] webbb82: Attempting to install a different version than what is offered in ubuntu repos will only complicate things [04:07] why did my "places" turn into a folder called "bookmarks" ? [04:07] coz_: ok! [04:07] itilious, ah oh what did you do ? [04:07] ironfoot495, there you go :) [04:07] webbb82: So you dont have firefox installed. Run this: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [04:08] well i wouldnt have to do it that way but after i unzip the firefox file and click on firefox it will launch at first but stop working after a while [04:08] webbb82: you could add the ppa if you wanted https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [04:08] coz_, nothing i thought they disappeared but it seems ubuntu just moved them all into a subsection labeled "bookmarks" why would it do this on its own? [04:08] webbb82: That command should install firefox and fix your problem [04:08] itilious, it wont do that on it's own.... can you take a screen shot of that and let me see it [04:08] coz_: this is very disturbing I have so much to do but I've spent a lot of time trying to get the bugs out of this distro, [04:08] itilious, upload the image to picpaste.com [04:08] trism, i am tryin to install firefox 3.6 beta 4 [04:09] How can a file's contents, as read by gedit, differ from dd ? I've run sync, and this is ext3 with metadata journaled only... [04:09] webbb82: they have 3.6 beta 5 in the ppa [04:09] webbb82, you might actually be encountering a bug, as all betas have them [04:09] whats the minimum partition size for a full clean install of ubuntu 9.10..i had a 5GB...but it now its full...i honestly dont know what i did to fill it.. i dont dl anything [04:09] ironfoot495, I understand but I cant help unless I know exactly the pacakge name [04:09] coz_: maybe I should have stayed with 9.04 server.:P [04:09] i was messing the system folders and may have copied pasted something in the wrong place [04:09] whats the ppa for firefox 3.6 beta 5 [04:10] roger_, it is 4gb [04:10] ironfoot495, are you on ubuntu server 9.10 now? [04:10] package name? no 10.4 but they both have the same MO. [04:11] coz_, ubuntu wont seem to let me take a screenshot while the menu is open [04:11] coz_: I still have a running battle with grub too! [04:11] itilious, open applications/accessories/take screenshot set the dealy for about 5 seconds [04:11] ironfoot495, well grub2 is something I am still trying to catch up on [04:12] let me see if I can find the packagew although I thought I gave that to you in the paste I forwarded. [04:12] coz_: yeah I have to sit still and figure that out myself!!! [04:12] hey all! [04:12] Hello, how can I encrypt ubuntu 9.04 entire filesystem? [04:13] how do I completely reinstall an important package like dbus? [04:13] coz_, you gotta use ksnapshot, where you can delay a shot [04:13] steve, also gnome screenshot does that as well [04:13] yea yea yea, kde sucks, BLA [04:13] coz_, http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_5.png [04:13] Firestarter is just a frontend for iptables, correct?

[04:14] coz_: My dbus config files are messed, but they're not being remade when I reinstall [04:14] Anyone know a place to find a wiki dump of Ubuntu Wiki [04:14] even dpkg --remove --force-all with a subsequent install doesn't do it [04:14] or how to make your own wiki dump [04:14] dryg: you doing remote desktop? [04:14] Trying to. [04:14] orangey, remove them first then reinstall [04:14] coz_: I finnaly got samba configured right but now I'm being held hostage by is this it ->2.95ubuntu1? [04:14] How can I diff a directory tree? diff -r compares the files -- I just want to compare filenames. [04:14] paddy_melon, I wish i knew how to [04:14] coz_ That still doesn't seem to do it [04:15] dryg: all you should have to do is active access on the machine you want to get into.. you don't need to open any ports unless you're outside of your lan and trying to get in.. then you have to portforward in your router. [04:15] Hello, how can I encrypt ubuntu 9.04 entire filesystem? [04:15] how can I send the output of the play command (using sox in terminal) to a sound file? [04:15] coz_: because this part of he error message I'm getting. [04:15] so... no ideas? [04:15] the machine i want to get into is right next to me [04:15] coz_, know why my system would have changed to that for no reason? [04:16] How can I do a simple wiki dump? Possibly via wget? [04:16] Plz help? [04:16] its on the same wireless LAN [04:16] epaphus, the easiest way is to do a fresh install with the alternate install disk [04:16] dryg: did you go to System>Preferences > Remote desktop and activate there? [04:17] itilious, no did you post the screenshot? [04:17] i have not, hold on\ [04:17] coz_, http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_5.1259468018.png [04:17] hmmm. [04:17] so, I'm trying to reinstall dbus so I can get the /etc/dbus-1 files [04:17] but it won't do it [04:17] any ideas? [04:18] Out_Cold, do you know of a tutorial? [04:18] I'm tired and need to rest but I sure would like to accomplih this before I retire for the evening. [04:18] itilious, oh I see it set the Bookmarks under Places but not the home directory [04:18] coz_: [04:18] itilious, hold on let me check [04:18] bb [04:19] steebo72, this is a support room, you can take idle chat to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [04:19] err, nvm [04:19] How can I do a simple wiki dump? Possibly via wget? [04:20] paddy_melon: wget -r on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TitleIndex ? [04:21] epaphus, there are many but the easiest way is to follow the onscreen installer and select guided-encrypted lvms [04:21] Hello all, my system (running in VirtualBox) crashed while it was updating and stopped with xulrunner. I tried reinstalling and running dpk -- configure however apt always terminates with Bus Error while processing the post-installation script error 135 what should I do? [04:22] trism, will that dump the entire wiki? [04:22] Out_Cold, cool.. is that for the entire filesystem though? [04:22] including pics [04:22] itilious, is there a Bookmarks folder in the Home directory? [04:22] hey theres no one on the server channel an i need to know if i can use a usb wireless network device to connect to a lan? [04:22] coz_, nope [04:23] if so how do i set it up in terminal [04:23] itilious, and the only thing that is a problem is that the Bookmarks listing showed up right? can you right click that and delete it? [04:23] paddy_melon: well, you'll probably need to play with the arguments, but TitleIndex is supposed to link to every page on the wiki, so it will get all the pages (obviously it won't be a wiki anymore though) [04:24] i want everythign in the bookmarks back to simply in the "places" menu, not a "sub-menu" [04:24] trism... ok, thanks... do U know how people dump the official wiki and, mirror it? [04:24] dryg: did it work? [04:26] paddy_melon: the ubuntu wiki?

[04:30] itilious, if you have I think 5 or more bookmarks they will be put into a Bookmark sub menu as you have there [04:30] itilious, you can change that with a bit of work [04:30] itilious, sorry I wasnt thinking earlier [04:31] coz_, got it, i just deleted some on the completely unnecessary links and it fixed as you said [04:31] makes sense why it would automatically make a folder like that and place the links there [04:31] itilious, right because it is limited to 5 I believe before going into Bookmakrs sub menu [04:32] itilious, that can be changed with a little work [04:32] Hello all, my system (running in VirtualBox) crashed while it was updating and stopped with xulrunner. I tried reinstalling and running dpk -- configure and sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends xulrunner-1.9 but xulrunner is not installed nor unistalled and apt always terminates with Bus Error while processing the post-installation script error 135 what should I do?

I cant help [04:39] i cant remember what i did [04:39] well thanks anyway [04:39] I can see it when i do lshw -class network [04:40] is there anyone that can help? [04:40] but when i use my wireless network manager it says Can't find any wireless network interface. [04:40] Code : -3 [04:41] awhatley: at a guess you need to install the hardware drivers [04:41] Oh wonderful answer-people, anyone know why cat could differ from dd ? (Data journaling off.) [04:42] try alt-f2 then type in hardware drivers and launch that program [04:42] Hi i've got two VB machines running ubuntu 8.04 and lamp for testing purposes, they have been setup just about the same, however the second one does not allow my site to be hosted. If you look at the output in my pastebin - http://pastebin.com/f21152b79 - there is a clear difference between both machines when running apache2ctl. Apparently my vhost isn't being show which is weird, so how do I go about fixing? === lstarnes is now known as sheep [04:43] is there anyone that can help setup my network? I already have samba installed and under workgroup but I only see my windows computer in there [04:44] wati [04:45] ninda [04:46] colloguy: don't know that i have the answer but are you reading a text file?.. and if so perhaps dd uses utf8 as default and cat is using something different. [04:46] scunizi: file is just contains the character '1' [04:47] colloguy: and what are the differences between the two when read? [04:48] scunizi: dd says " 1............ (lots of dots) " [04:48] scunizi: cat says: ......{..Y......\.."....E (etc..) [04:49] I'm doing dd | xxd and cat | xxd [04:49] colloguy: ok.. xxd being the file name? [04:49] xxd is the hex ed [04:49] Has anyone been successful with solving the "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS..." problem? [04:49] lemme clarify [04:49] cat | xxd [04:49] vs [04:50] dd if= | xxd [04:50] cat could be gedit, doesn't matter [04:51] colloguy: why you using xxd? have you tried simply cat and dd if=filename's block address [04:51] If I don't pipe into xxd, it'll screw up my terminal [04:51] scunizi: the version of the file that cat / gedit sees is not ascii [04:52] colloguy: so this isn't a text file / ascii? [04:52] scunizi: dd sees a text file. cat/gedit sees a non-text file [04:52] scunizi: why do they see different things : / [04:53] colloguy: I don't know anything about xxd.. what also concerns me is cat by itself would screw up your terminal .. doesn't make sense.. that might have someting to do with it. [04:53] scunizi: I should make clear: the newer version of the file is non-ascii, the older version is ascii === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:54] scunizi: dd is seeing the older file (which was ascii), cat/gedit is seeing the new file (which is non-ascii) [04:54] never* [04:54] colloguy: but both have the same name? [04:55] scunizi: They have the same name, yup. [04:55] colloguy: different locations on the drive? [04:55] scunizzi: Same path, and should be same block address on disk too [04:56] colloguy: how can you have two different files, one ascii and one not with the same names in the same block locaton? [04:56] scunizzi: I got one from the other, by shredding the original /usr/bin/shred === jetx is now known as jetscreamer [04:56] colloguy: so one was deleted? [04:56] scunizi: That's exactly what's confusing me [04:56] scunizzi: no, shred does not unlink the file [04:57] scunizzi: it just writes over it [04:58] colloguy: so one command is reading the shredded file and the other isn't.. that is wierd.. sortof makes sense though since dd is block level so it's reading the old file.. can you get the block numbers of the new file? could they be a bit different fromt the old file? [04:59] scimizi: they're the same [04:59] colloguy: I'd ask in ##linux as well.. this is a really strange one.. [05:00] Hey, I need help getting my nvidia graphics card refresh rate up to 75 or higher. Right now it is at 59 and it's giving me a headache. [05:00] scimizi: I used ls -i to get the inode, and istat to get the block address. They don't change, before and after the shred [05:00] hi, I'm trying to get rsyslog to write to a file based on a rule, the rule is triggering but it's not being written to file. [05:02] colloguy: brb [05:02] hello, my LAN connection is slow [05:02] but in my windows box is insanely fast [05:02] emanux: more information please. What speeds do you get? [05:02] ok [05:03] here is the info [05:03] What is a better webcam app to use Ekiga or Skype ? ? [05:03] Help anyone?? [05:03] snayth: to speak to people on Skype you will need to use Skype ;) [05:03] snayth: Skype might be shut down. [05:04] princezuda: ekiga is not easy to configure, in any sense of the word. [05:04] princezuda: What do you mean they might be shutdown? [05:04] according to network history the bytes receiving is around 200 max [05:05] and i can tell because when i browse firefox [05:05] snayth: it is owned by ebay and it may be shutdown because they're being sued over intellectual property rights. [05:05] content is slowly loaded [05:05] emanux: use a pastebin to post the output of "ifconfig" please (go into a terminal and type ifconfig) [05:05] Can someone help me with my graphics card refresh issue. [05:05] cika [05:05] is it alright for someone from the US to order from the EU store? [05:05] princezuda: eBay's issues are not relavent here. [05:06] ok, wait a sec [05:06] VoltageX: Ah ok abit tired tonight - correct you are - It is best for both sending and receiving party's to use the same app whether it be Skype or Ekiga - Correctr? [05:06] snayth: what? [05:06] snayth: usually, both people *must* be using the same app [05:06] medan [05:07] voltagex: I know that, snayth just asked what app to use so I was trying to warn him or her about skype. I can't think very well while running ubuntu because my nvidia graphic card refresh rate is at 59. How may I change it? [05:07] princezuda: Ah yes I think I remember seeing one of the cell companies complaining about the use of Skype or something to that effect... [05:07] princezuda: refresh rate is determined by your monitor. [05:07] snayth: that's a different issue, and still offtopic here. [05:08] VoltageX: http://pastebin.com/d52ec8866 [05:08] VoltageX: I agree but sometimes you are told that certain questions etc are not exceptable in Off-Topic as well - So ? [05:09] emanux: are you connected with a wireless card, or via ethernet cable? [05:09] princezuda: Thank you for the comment - I would rather have enough info to make a decision on which way to go. [05:10] cika [05:10] ethernet cable [05:10] medan [05:10] emanux: no issues there. Have you tried transferring files locally in your lan instead of testing internet connectivity? [05:10] VoltageX: So where is best this to be discussed in Off-Topic? [05:11] lan transfer is ok [05:11] i was wondering. i see some tutorials use sudo sh when using echo on a file. Why is that, when it seems to work just fine with only sudo echo? [05:11] that's whay im confused [05:11] emanux: it may be a problem with your internet connection [05:11] my lan transfer is ok [05:11] but internet connection is slow [05:11] and my windows box is fast [05:11] emanux: if you reboot *now* into Windows and test your internet connection, it works fine? [05:12] actaully, i have another laptop running windows [05:12] emanux: I'm asking if it might just be a problem with your internet connection :) [05:12] that laptop is a little bit old [05:12] am i dont know :) [05:13] colloguy: sorry.. I was getting pressure to finish dishes.. I was thinking maybe there's something in cache that one of them is reading. [05:13] if my internet connection just failing on ubuntu box [05:14] scunizi: apologize? I should be thanking you, no one ever responds to my missives : ] [05:14] is there a configuration i can tweak? [05:14] oko [05:14] colloguy: ah.. but you have such unusual missives :) [05:14] scunizi: As suggested by someone in ##linux, I ran sudo /bin/sync, no dice [05:14] or i have just be patient with the connection :) [05:15] colloguy: how 'bout sudo updatedb [05:15] !fah [05:15] emanux: maybe a network config problem? [05:16] scunizi: I've never heard of that before ... in what way do you want me to run it? [05:16] colloguy: sudo updatedb [05:16] emanux: try a different cable or port? [05:16] yeah, im trying it now [05:17] scunizi: done. dd still reads the pre-shredded file [05:20] it's a server like spotchat [05:20] colloguy: I'm stuck :( [05:20] scunizi: Does secure erase work for you? [05:21] hey people [05:21] colloguy: never tried it.. did you use it with sudo? [05:21] can some one help, global short-cuts don't work in amarok! [05:21] scunizi: shouldn't matter, I own the file, and I can see the gibberish that it wrote, so it's working [05:22] scunizi: so long as I use cat or gedit or anything, except dd [05:22] :-[ [05:22] hello all! [05:22] anyone? [05:22] having problems with a windows NTFS partition. i can read the data in ubuntu fine read/write. but i can not resize the disk using gparted. is there another tool i could use to test/repair the volume. i have no way to backup the data unless i can resize this partition. can anyone help. [05:22] I have a ubuntu vbox with a share that's full.... [05:22] colloguy: I'm sorry I don't have an answer (as promised in the beginning) but I like to try to logic these things out.. [05:22] anyone know how to move it to a bigger drive? [05:22] where did the upstart jobs go? [05:23] I'm looking for what exactly gets executed when I run "service gdm start" [05:23] scunizi, did he try to cat a .bin file? [05:23] scunizi: thanks for trying. I bet its some buffer that most programs look at, and shred writes to, but dd bypasses, that still needs to be flushed somehow [05:23] When I login and AWN starts up, the DockbarX plugin doesnt load. I have to disable and then re-enable it from the AWN Preferences window :\ [05:23] Does someone know how to make DockbarX for AWN work correctly? === sheep is now known as lstarnes [05:24] I'm just trying to run the ubuntu mini-iso install off of a new partiton, however the iso file I have does not have a vmlinuz file, which all the guides i've read are pointing to, is that important? (using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux) [05:25] SeaPhor: colloguy shredded an ascii file and in its place wrote a new file with the same info the original file had. cat and dd read different files located in the same physical space on the drive. [05:26] SeaPhor: dd reads the shredded ascii file and cat reads the newer file.. [05:26] seaphor: the shred should hve just written into the file, and apparently did according to cat and gedit. But dd still sees the old file [05:27] hey guys, when I try to play a .mp4 file, gstreamer comes up with an error. How should i fix this [05:27] seaphor: dd reads the old ascii file (with its pre-shred contents) [05:28] wow... colloguy have you flushed the cache? i have to admit this is.... a weird scenario... [05:28] is this just dd if=[the filename], or some other esoteric way to access the file? you said "block address" earlier [05:28] seaphor: I did sudo sync [05:28] Seaphor: and I have the default data=ordered journaling, which I believe journals metadata only [05:28] ola! [05:29] colloguy, is it ext3 or ext4? [05:29] Random832: I got the inode from ls -i , and the block address from istat [05:29] Seaphor: ext3, data=ordered [05:29] and how do you pass that into dd? [05:29] ola desde chile! [05:29] i've never heard of dd with anything other than a filename or a device name [05:29] any idea how i could check an NTFS Volumn on Ubuntu. i can read/write to the drive. but gparted will not resize it becuase it says there is an error?

[05:34] Just a question for booting off the karmic mini iso off a partition: The kernel vmlinuz seems to be missing, what should the kernel in grub be pointing to?

[05:38] No, you have it setup to use a virtual soundcard [05:38] no i have it set to use the 1c97 [05:38] you are not directly using your soundcard in a virtual machine [05:38] ac97 [05:39] I am leaning more towards just fixing this with a hammer [05:40] yeah i have had my days with that type of thinking as well..especially with pulse. [05:41] what does gateway 0.0.0.0 mean ? [05:41] maxagaz, means its not set [05:41] haiiiiiiiiiiiii [05:42] oldude67, ok thanks [05:42] it's amazing how a bad strip of ram will screw a system up [05:42] alguien conoce un ecualizador general para ubuntu?

[05:42] memtest on the ubuntu cd passed all the ram [05:43] how do I change the system information [05:43] oldude67, does it mean that setting the gateway *or* the iface in the route is enough ? [05:44] maxagaz, what type of connection?

[06:00] does ubuntu support hotplug PCI? [06:00] saprophyte: After powering down and removing the card, you will need to use sys>admin>hardware drivers to install the proprietary nvidia driver. If you have the proprietary ati driver installed currently, remove it with the same method first [06:00] git__: i didnt think pci was hotplug capable [06:00] can i unplug my network card while my PC is running in Ubuntu? [06:01] git__: I wouldn't try it [06:01] Windows 2003 has PCI hotpluggable [06:01] no problem waiting, just making sure... actually i didn't mean +m i meant registered nick to talk, because I hadn't Id'd to nickserv yet [06:01] i can remove a network PCI card while the OS is running and replace it with another network PCI card [06:02] git__: no. it wont work [06:02] <|biovore|> nope.. not unless it's hot plug.

[06:17] thanks guys [06:17] morpher: heh ygl man maybe someone else in here know [06:17] s [06:18] Hey, I'm trying to compile gettext so I can compile network manager becasue I borked my lan settings by installing kwlan, but I'm getting some errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/330846/ [06:18] I wish to share a printer to windows/mac clients (Canon IP4000) on ubuntu-server. I have installed samba & cups. Can I just connect the printer? what do I do about drivers .et.c.? [06:18] can someome help me? i still can't install gpart [06:18] it says it's not available but another package references it, that the package is missing, obsolete or available from another source [06:18] Hi all.. I've just installed ubuntu on my virtualbox... how can i ssh to it? when i tried to ssh to it, it says 'no route to host' [06:18] camilo: sudo apt-get install gparted [06:18] camilo: just run that [06:19] NeoCicak : Is the VM in bridge mode? *within networking [06:19] camilo, u check if u are getting ur package from universe [06:19] NeoCicak: it's behind some kind of special NAT, you have to change the way it's connected to the network. [06:19] mark : hmm... i didnt change any network setting... [06:19] gtech: weird. if i run fdisk, hit "P" to print the partition table, and then "w" to save it (making no other changes), then the device files show up [06:19] camilo what os are you running right now? [06:19] ubuntu netbook remix [06:20] gtech [06:20] NeoCicak : the default is NAT, which is different to your main lan. Switch to "Bridged" power the VM on and take note of the new ip [06:20] morpher: cool [06:20] does anyone know why the heck my windows virtualbox won't see my usb external hard drive? ubuntu sees it just fine... [06:20] does that mean Georgia Tech by any chance :) [06:20] mark: ah ok... thx.. i'll give it a shot [06:20] i installed it with wubi, does that has anything to do? [06:20] twobits: No, GabrielTech heh [06:20] okay camilo [06:20] NeoCicak : Np. Good luck. [06:20] thanks swedemike [06:20] deleting windows is an exceptionally bad idea [06:20] twobits: I get that a lot [06:20] then [06:21] gtech: did you install build-essential === patrick is now known as Guest312 [06:21] wubi installs it on the windows partion, if i'm not mistaken (i might be!) [06:21] ctmjr: no, are there any other dependencies I should think about? [06:21] Crumbles: virtualbox-ose doesn't support usb. grab the one from their website for usb support [06:21] Crumbles: you have to put your own user in the vboxusers group [06:21] I have the non-free one. [06:21] and USB is enabled [06:21] camilo_: you need to install it to its own partition [06:22] my own user in the vboxusers group? [06:22] hi folks. I have a program that allows services to be turned on and off, but how do I add more services to its list? [06:22] Crumbles: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-VirtualBox-USB-Support-111715.shtml [06:22] twobits: so i have to go back to windows and install it again? [06:22] How can I fix Hp G605 notebook series with an Atheros Wireless connection? It worked when I was working with the Live CD. However, after installation it won't activate and receive a signal. I am using Ubuntu Remix 9.10. [06:22] Which services are you trying to add and which application are you using to manage these services? [06:23] gtech: from the dir your compiling in sudo apt-get build-dep gettext [06:23] banjomoose: Which services are you trying to add and which application are you using to manage these services? [06:23] hey guy's i can't seem to get my ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card driver to work i've tried EnvyNG does anyone have suggestions on what i should do [06:23] gtech: it should install the dependencies [06:24] ctmjr: I can't get the network settings working [06:24] ceb: its under administration - services [06:25] ceb: I'm trying to add midi support well turn it on and when I dont need it off [06:25] Do you have a midi package in mind? [06:25] I have not tried to install separately anything other than the network manager in the administration menu in Remix. [06:25] camilo [06:25] gtech: you have no internet to install the dependencies? [06:25] camilo_: hold on a second, i might be completely wrong :P [06:26] how can i forcely remove a package using dpkg? i've tried dpkg -r --force but it still says 'Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstlal it before attempting a removal' [06:26] ctmjr: exactly I installed kwlan and it screwed up and uninstalled network manager so I'm trying to compile it [06:26] I haven't checked if Madwifi or anything else is running the wireless connection. I'm using whatever the system default is so far. [06:26] twobits hahaha ok man, i'm counting on you :) [06:26] ceb: its timidity I also have fluid synth as well installed [06:26] If they are installed, and run as a syustem daemon, they should appear. [06:27] I wish to share a printer to windows/mac clients (Canon IP4000) on ubuntu-server. I have installed samba & cups. Can I just connect the printer? what do I do about drivers .et.c.? [06:27] I could be wrong, but I believe the administration -> services panel lets you manage script in the folder /etd/init.d, which are the system services running on your system [06:27] okay, basically you need to install it to it's own dedicated partition [06:27] sorry, /etc/init.d/ [06:27] gtech: do you have the install cd you used to install ubuntu? [06:28] do you know how to install it the non-wubi way? [06:28] Does timidity run as a system server, or do you run it each time as your user? [06:28] ceb: not listed at all. is there another program I can intstall that doesn't it better :) [06:28] ctmjr: heh no I'm away from home [06:28] I am not too familiar with Midi, but we can get timidity going. Have you got it running before? [06:28] SwedeMike: logging out now to test... brb [06:28] ctmjr: if you could point me to a resource that shows me how to compile and find dependencies that'd be awesome [06:28] ced: it doesn't run unless I use a commandline [06:28] i tried with an .iso in a usb drive, but it didn't work [06:29] i'll try again [06:29] OK, so you run it as your user... the best option for you may be to add the command that you run at the terminal into your desktop session starup config [06:29] camilo_: have you tried [06:29] how can i forcely remove a package using dpkg? i've tried dpkg -r --force but it still says 'Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstlal it before attempting a removal' [06:29] camilo_: unetbootin [06:29] then when you log in, timidity will be started. You can disable timidity later if you wisj [06:30] is there a way to access a computer in a lan throught the internet by typing in ip addresses in url bar in browser [06:30] it works from windows or ubuntu [06:30] ced: yes I have had it running. just remembering it can be tricky to what I did. [06:30] is that a program? [06:30] basically, format the usb stick you want to use, then use unetbootin on that drive [06:30] yes === Guest312 is now known as patrick [06:30] it will create a bootable usb-stick from an iso [06:31] Is there a way to access apache server in a lan without port forwarding [06:31] alternatively you can use === patrick is now known as Guest10276 [06:31] ced: but I think it needs command line options can't just run it empty [06:31] banjomoose: if you can find the command you ran, go to system => preferences -> Statup Applications (or Sessions) [06:31] Click add and in the prompt put the full command, options and all in there [06:31] usb-creator on ubuntu [06:31] The_Parkers: you would need an apache or ssh server on the host [06:31] camilo_: if i may ask which model netbook are you using? [06:31] i used the usb creator [06:32] ceb: that was months ago on a old sytem that was deleted. I just installed a new sytem not long ago, and I'm using tux guitar I also have fluid synth as well [06:32] ceb: do you know how to get ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card driver on ubuntu? i've tried EnvyNG but it didn't work any suggestions? [06:32] I love how Windows takes an hour to login if it can't find the domain [06:32] that turns me on [06:32] gtech: well build-essential will give you most of the default dependencies but each package has it's own requirements that's where build-dep comes in handy but hold on a sec [06:32] yes it is installed. but i dont have access to the router, so no port forwarding which would make it easy [06:33] it's a samsung nc10 [06:33] GTG007: I have only ever run Nvidia.... your best bet is usually the forums for something like that. [06:33] ctmjr:: kk [06:33] ceb: thank you :) [06:33] camilo_: do you have it set up to check your usb drive in the bios [06:33] this is just a question, not a complaint. The touchpad tap to click was disabled by default in upstream for 9.10. I've re-enabled it, i'm just curious of the reasoning behind it :) [06:33] ceb: what I would like to learn is how to add more services to service if that makes sense. I remember awhile ago something that did pick up anyting that was new [06:33] how do i do that? [06:33] is there a way to typs the ip address in url bar and get to the target computer [06:33] hey all, quick question: I installed 9.10 on an external and when I made it internal it can't find swap and i can't even swapon [06:34] SwedeMike [06:34] well, when you boot up, usually you see this thing that says press (some key) for setup [06:34] mash that key, and change the setting there [06:34] Still hoping for someone whom might know a simple way to get my hp 605 laptop wireless card an atheros ar5100 to work? Worked from live cd. After installation failed. [06:34] you can google around for how to do that on your particular computer [06:34] SwedeMike: you are the farrking man. That fixed it!!!!!! [06:34] and the usb should be plugged in, right? [06:34] basically, when your computer boots up, it has a priority list of where it gets its bootup instructions [06:34] yes [06:34] Banjomoose: If you want to add a service to Administration -> services, you will need to install a package that adds a script in /etc/init.d/. Timidity does not appear to do this, otherwise the option would already be there [06:35] you want to put your usb drive above your hard drive [06:35] why does my pannel have some parts in color when i made it transparent... [06:35] Using Ubuntu Remix 9.10. [06:35] ooh, alright [06:35] alternatively you may be able to press esc twice [06:35] I'm trying to get read my blackberry as a mass storage device, I've changed all the media card options to the correct settings but I still get a big nothing when I plug it in [06:35] If i have kde installed and gnome ( gnome was first) [06:35] Can i use the update manager to update to 9.10 ? [06:35] or something and just select it [06:35] i'll give that a try [06:35] If you really want it to show up, you can create your own script in there (/etc/init.d/timidity) but this is not recommended, this is a system directory for managing services, you will need to be root to fiddle around in there. [06:35] gtech: if your using karmic http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/network-manager [06:35] that's a feature on the eee [06:35] not sure if it's on the samsung ones or whatever :P === |biovore| is now known as BioVore [06:35] ced: I just took a look at chkconfig would that be worth installing? [06:36] ok, i'm off to reboot, thanks a lot twobits, you've been a great help :) [06:36] Instead, I recommend that you try preferences -> services. This would be the best way for you to get timidity to start when you log in, using the same command you used before. [06:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NC10 [06:36] camilo_: no prob [06:36] You can look at chkconfig. It will help manage /etc/init.d scripts, like the admin -> services menu. But there doesn't appear to be a timidity script there to manage [06:36] ctmjr: beauty thanks a lot [06:37] hey guys, in htop i've got about 30 instances of '/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon' === Mercury_ is now known as Mercury [06:37] #ubunto.es [06:37] what is this and why do i have so many?

[06:38] ceb: I just checked and I have a script in /etc/init.d [06:38] themarmot, okay. thanks [06:38] Then it may not have LSB headers [06:38] anyone know what to do if your trackpad is getting detected as a ps/2 mouse? :/ [06:38] sergio: /join #ubuntu-es [06:38] I'm trying to get read my blackberry as a mass storage device, I've changed all the media card options to the correct settings but I still get a big nothing when I plug it in [06:38] Can you check the top of the cript in that folder (should be all comments) and compare it to one that does show up in services [06:38] ? [06:38] grax! [06:38] You may find a comment with a special structure that the administration -> services component is using. [06:39] to identify the services [06:39] oic [06:39] ceb: ahhh dam dont even know what lsb headers are. well I'll give chkconfig a shot you never know. I will check it out. thanks ceb have a good one :) [06:40] hi [06:40] hi [06:41] ok [06:42] ceb: I ran the script, but it just gave an error, I tried to find the error with demsg nothing showed up, maybe timidity needs to know where the soundfont is or something [06:42] hai [06:43] hi zuse [06:43] im awsome [06:44] LOL [06:44] im awsome [06:44] I'm bored === reactor_ is now known as reactor [06:44] !ot | sharkie [06:44] sharkie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:26] wubuntu: its supposed to be used to change wallpapers at given intervals, but I think that does multimonitor [08:26] Hexy: There are instructions on how to recover GRUB there :) [08:26] g2g [08:26] Ahh, it's 9.04, not 9.10 [08:26] I can't find where it does [08:26] If it does [08:26] Yeah, I don't think so, sadly [08:26] MenZa, sorry, should've clarified that it was 9.04. [08:27] Hexy: Ah [08:27] !grub | Hexy [08:27] Hexy: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [08:27] om26 its the right file [08:27] Hexy: There you go ;) [08:28] yeah, I looked at those.. they didn't work. [08:28] do you know what the problem could be? [08:28] wubuntu, looks like compiz could support it [08:28] How do I install compiz ? [08:28] godfather have you seen this before? http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4893/issue.png [08:28] <|_ocke> any nerds up for a challenge? [08:28] wubuntu: Its already installed [08:29] soreau: That's what I thought [08:29] what kinda challenge :) [08:29] AuToMaTiC: which system are you using. [08:29] wubuntu: You probably will want to install ccsm to configure it though [08:29] AuToMaTiC: processor [08:29] <|_ocke> Hexy, i really want to find a really underground metal band [08:29] Is that a package ? [08:29] Windows 7 but im installing out of windows [08:29] hmm [08:29] <|_ocke> Hexy, i had an album by them like 8 or nine years ago [08:29] Intel Quad core 2.83 [08:29] !ot | |_ocke [08:29] okay, [08:29] |_ocke: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:29] GHZ [08:29] is there a folder that has links to the current theme's icons? [08:29] <|_ocke> i had only a 64kbps mp3 set [08:29] <|_ocke> i'm not trying to find the mp3s [08:30] 4 gigs of ram [08:30] <|_ocke> im trying to find the band name [08:30] wubuntu: The only way to get different wallpapers on each viewport means you will lose your desktop icons [08:30] |_ocke, PM [08:30] AuToMaTiC, so you say you've tried booting straight to the hardware, not doing virtualization? [08:30] your saying through the bios correct? [08:30] soreau: That's a shame. But I guess it's worth it [08:30] The only desktop icon I have is my Bin [08:30] wubuntu soreau, I remember something where I got diff wallpapers on diff workspaces, with everything still there [08:31] Hmm [08:31] wubuntu: IMHO, it makes for a cleaner looking desktop and of course the Desktop directory remains in tact [08:31] like i set my disk drive as the primary boot device [08:31] soreau: How do you set it up that way in the first place ? [08:31] and ive tried it like that [08:31] GodfatherofEire: That was a hack of long ago, no longer possible [08:31] ive tried it where i install it on windows [08:31] and have both choices and it fails there [08:31] GodfatherofEire: I wish you remembered [08:31] its all ways http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4893/issue.png to [08:31] im trying to figure out a problem with my ubuntu install [08:31] AuToMaTiC, or just use the bootmenu [08:31] in other words, where do applications look for icons? [08:32] i cant get my bluetooth headset to work right [08:32] soreau, like, on 8.10? [08:32] I have tried throught the bootmenu [08:32] just want to make sure were thinking of the same one [08:32] wubuntu: You will have to disable nautilus show desktop, be sure you are running compiz then set the wallpapers in ccsm>Wallpaper plugin [08:32] GodfatherofEire: Somethin like that [08:32] :| I Need to get rid of some hardware. [08:33] There's no other way ? [08:33] wubuntu: Not to my knowledge [08:33] That's a shame. [08:33] Hexy: Send it to mw [08:33] me* [08:33] soreau, you don't want this. [08:34] unless its more than eight years old [08:34] most of it is old... 300-800Mhz boxes I can't bare to part with... [08:34] http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o7/Hexbomber/DSCF1285.jpg [08:34] they make great headless linux servers... [08:34] Any idea on what could cause a hard drive to not display when trying to install after booting from the disk [08:34] Hexy: Damn! xD [08:34] lol [08:35] soreau: i dont think the D word is ok here [08:36] maco: Probably not, but what can they do. Sue me? [08:36] soreau: ban you? [08:37] maybe I should just make a small partition and install in windows then wipe windows off and format instead [08:37] maco: It wouldnt be a big loss for me anyway. I do 99% support, 0.9% BSing and 0.1% other === kb is now known as Guest27550 === magnus_ is now known as Guest49309 === Guest49309 is now known as hume [08:37] soreau: ok. im just trying to tell you that child-friendly language is a rule here [08:38] Hexy: nice compaq deskpro... [08:38] maco: I'm well aware of the rules and I bend them sometimes [08:39] Hey all, I believe there's a meta-package that depends on proprietary drivers etc (such as gstreamer-ugly etc), but don't know its name. Does anybody else know? [08:39] mattcen: ubuntu-retricted-extras ? [08:39] maco: That sounds like it... [08:40] if I create a Private folder (encrypted with ecryptfs) why does root have the authority to get to my files by just issuing an su username. Is there a way to prevent this? [08:40] mattcen: (gstreamer is codecs not drivers, by the way...drivers would be for like making your graphics card work at all) [08:40] idefine: because logging in is what unlocks your directory [08:40] maco: Yes, sorry, that was a typo; I was in the 'driver' mindset because I just installed the Nvidia driver :P. That's the package I was looking for. Thanks a lot, you just saved me much fruitless googling :P [08:41] maco: right, how can I stop that? [08:41] Hello :) I'm trying to use Kopete but it won't connect to my WLM account (it connects to an @hotmail.com account, but not to @live.com) [08:41] idefine: i dont think you can except to put your directory on a separate partition encrypted with lvm...maybe? === nicholas_ is now known as twobits [08:42] hi, Im having trouble with nautilus connecting to windows share [08:42] it uses the same server and port as pidgin (messenger.hotmail.com 1863) but doesn't connect... [08:42] it keeps asking for the password but im sure theres is no password for that share [08:43] soreau, wallpapoz, thats what i was thinkin of [08:43] i have a lot of files in my photos folder that have -1.jpg as their file names (as they are duplicates). how do i use the rm command to specify the deletion of these files? [08:44] any suggestions on a course of action to get the hard drive to register to install to it... I was thinking a hammer may help me [08:44] jeffjeffdejeff: rm -- -*.jpg [08:45] jeffjeffdejeff: the -- tells 'rm' that whatever follows *isn't* an argument, but a literal hyphen [08:45] jeffjeffdejeff: rm *-1.jpg [08:46] jeffjeffdejeff: mattcen's version would delete all files that start with - and end in .jpg ....which isnt what you asked for [08:47] <|_ocke> hey [08:47] I'm trying to use Kopete but it won't connect to my WLM account (it connects to a @hotmail.com account, but not to a @live.com). It uses the same server and port as Pidgin (messenger.hotmail.com 1863) but doesn't connect (unlike pidgin that does)... How can I solve this and connect to my @live.com account with Kopete? [08:47] maco: so your version would delete files that end in "-1.jpg"? [08:47] <|_ocke> anyone want a challenge? [08:47] Ah yes, sorry, I misinterpreted the statement as having -1.jpg -2.jpg etc [08:47] <|_ocke> i need to find a band name [08:47] jeffjeffdejeff: yes, thats what you asked for, isnt it? === wolf is now known as Guest68703 [08:47] indeed it is. :) [08:48] * mattcen has tried to overcomplicate the problem again :P [08:48] mattcen: that still wouldve required *-*.jpg and then every file with a - ending in .jpg would be gone. youd want to limit it to *-[0-9].jpg i think [08:48] Yep, that makes sense [08:50] that's great chaps. thanks a lot. that seems to have worked in the folder i know i have lots of duplicates in. how do i now go about identifying where else i might have files that end in -1.jpg? [08:51] jeffjeffdejeff: find / -name '*-1.jpg' [08:51] Where '/' can be any directory to search inside, but of course searches the root directory as it is. [08:51] jeffjeffdejeff: try "locate *-1.jpg" [08:51] hello. i installed ubuntu. then installed kde and lots of kde apps. now i am back to gnome. but it still shows kubuntu when starting the computer. the it takes more time to boot up. how to configure it? [08:52] anyone know how to setup ubuntu so it auto reconnects to a wireless connection? currently everytime i change anything in my router that causes the routers wireless to restart the ubuntu computer wont auto reconnect [08:52] thanks matcen. that worked. is there now a quick way to rm the files that it just found? [08:53] jeffjeffdejeff: Yep [08:53] jeffjeffdejeff: find / -name '*-1.jpg' -exec rm {} \; [08:53] wow. [08:53] the pair of braces represents the file you've just found, and you need the \; to say "this is the end of what I'm executing as part of find. [08:53] Just make sure you don't have any files you *don't* want to delete before doing that [08:54] 2ok. a simple question. how to remove all kde ? [08:54] so that kind of links the first command with the second and tells it to get rid of? [08:55] jeffjeffdejeff: it's a "seek and destroy" mission :) [08:55] you could look at it that way I suppose; the first command displays the files, the second command finds them, but doesn't display them. Instead it does whatever you tell it to in the '-exec' === jongberg1 is now known as jongbergs [08:56] Hi. Which recursive web site downloader can you recommend with Ubuntu? (similar to Teleport Pro for Windows) [08:56] uhm [08:56] where can I ask help from a dev? [08:56] #ubuntu-devel is NOT for that reason... sadly. so..any idea? [08:56] That command is missing a pipe anyway, isn't it? [08:56] teolicy: you can potentially use 'wget' [08:56] ardchoille: Which command? [08:56] shiki-: why do you need help from a developer as opposed to from anyone else who knows what theyre doing? [08:57] that find and -exec [08:57] well maco.. >> well... when someone will be here: I get an error when I try to prepare a package for PPA upload. I got some PPA aldy, but I cant figure this error out. It gives : "debuild: fatal error at line 1334: \ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -S -sa failed" when I use the "debuild -S -sa" command. [08:57] mattcen, wget -r is too bare bones for me; it will not modify HTML as necessary to make the downloaded material easily browsable offline. [08:57] I just need some hint where to start ..where to find that line 1334..which line? which file? where? [08:57] never mind, my bad [08:57] ardchoille: No. The entire process is done within find; find calls rm itself, it doesn't print the file names to stdout and then pass them to exec [08:57] hmmm. i got "find: missing argument to `-exec'" as a result [08:57] s/exec/rm/ [08:57] Well that's interesting... [08:58] shiki-: just as a test does normal "debuild -S" work? [08:58] maco: sadly, nope [08:58] jeffjeffdejeff: You had the \; at the end? [08:58] mattcen: yeah, -exec is an option of find, forgot about that [08:58] shiki-: ok [08:58] but found some hint now.. trying them [08:58] yup [08:59] teolicy: There's another option to wget that should do that... I'll see if I can find it [08:59] shiki-: line 1334 of the debuild script, id guess [08:59] can you tell me a program to convert dvd to avi or mpeg or something like this [08:59] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=036PkhVBzwA Can you guys help me out [08:59] Witch-King-VT: dvdrip / avidemux? [08:59] #ubuntu-beginners-help [08:59] Witch-King-VT: Handbrake [09:00] shiki-: what is it you're packaging? something not yet in ubuntu? [09:00] sorry wrong window [09:00] maco: yepp [09:00] teolicy: wget -k. After the download is complete, convert the links in the document to make them suitable for local viewing. [09:00] maco: MediaInfo. Maybe you heard about it [09:00] hello. how to remove kde clean [09:00] mattcen, aye, cheers. [09:00] shiki-: do you intend to submit it to revu to get it added to ubuntu 10.04's repos? [09:00] Can any of you guys help me out?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=036PkhVBzwA [09:00] maco: "revu"?

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU [09:01] !help | AuToMaTiC [09:01] maybe.. [09:01] AuToMaTiC: 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. :-) === JDGBOLT is now known as JD[AFK] [09:01] shiki-: if you package something and upload it there, it gets checked over and added to universe or multiverse [09:01] jeffjeffdejeff: Well that's got me stumped.

[09:02] "dpkg-source: error: source package has two conflicting values" ..hmm [09:02] shiki-: wanna go to #ubuntu-motu? [09:02] 'kay [09:02] uname@uname-desktop:~/Photos$ find /home/uname/Photos -name '*-1.jpg' -exec rm{}\; [09:02] is what i did - just wanna check that's right before we try your other method [09:02] Ah [09:03] You need a space on either side of the {} [09:03] That'll be your problem [09:03] Hi everyone, could you please give me your advice? Qemu or Virtualbox for virtualization? [09:03] Hey guys I need help with resuming from suspend mode. Can anyone help me?

[09:23] mowgli: You can still edit the file, but you need to force the write, or change the file permission before editing [09:23] I think so, ndowens - just not the reverse.

I really dont know, sorry k [10:05] diego__, df -h [10:05] diego__: df -h [10:05] no, a program the show a circle grafic [10:05] mac10, thanks for your help :) [10:05] Billiard: sorry....couldn't get the update-rc.d ? [10:06] Azeotrope: But I dont want Win7. That would be raping my system ;) [10:06] !networkmanager [10:06] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [10:06] diego__, baobab [10:06] !networkmanager | noob [10:06] noob: please see above [10:06] fakeer: what? === kronix is now known as Victoria [10:06] Azeotrope: Its footprint is way to large to do some basic stuff. Win XP is good enough for what I do with Windows [10:07] !networkmanager [10:07] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [10:07] balau: i have paste on pastebin, chek this http://pastebin.com/m6acfdb2a [10:07] hi [10:07] ok, there are other chances? (baobab it's not present in xubuntu ) [10:07] very often, nautilus doesn't show the whole content of a folder, and the mouse cursor is busy (in karmic), it worked fine in jaunty === Victoria is now known as kronix [10:08] do you have the same problem? === fusion is now known as fusion_ [10:08] I have to "nautilus -q" to resolve the problem (on my computer, on my girlfriend computer, and a colleague said he had the same problem) [10:08] fakeer: there are several methods to work with "init scripts" (start/stop scripts in /etc/init.d) The vsftpd has a "sys V" type configuration. Manage those scripts by "update-rc.d and/or sysv-rc-conf" [10:09] fakeer: however, vsftpd is set (after initial install) to start at each boot [10:09] oCean_: thanks a lot.. [10:09] I am having an issue in 9.10 64bit, when I load wine, my screen color fades, and I cant figure out why, I've tried a search, and cant find anything related..any ideas? [10:09] fusion ok, there should not be two ppp connections there. I think that one connection starts automatically when the connection goes up, the other is the one started with pon. [10:10] balau: so what shloud i do? [10:11] anybody had success in burning .dmg files? or at least converting .dmg file to .iso file ? [10:12] fusion_, I think the best bet is to try to use network manager to manage your DSL connection. pppoeconf changed the /etc/network/interfaces file, so it needs to be restored in its original state. [10:13] fusion_, and then you create a new DSL connection using the menus in the top-right network icon [10:13] hi === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [10:14] fusion_, the /etc/network/interfaces file should contain only two lines: "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" [10:16] balau: how can i change that === reactor_ is now known as reactor [10:16] is there a way i can quiet my laptop's fan? it's running on high all the time under ubuntu [10:17] zxzx [10:17] ? [10:18] balau: One More Thing : On My previous configuration setting by "pppoeconf" i set my connection on autostart at startup and right now it is working fine. i ill try with dsl connection too. [10:18] i hate fan in laptop ... there should be one [10:18] kwyjibo: this is because your cpu is hot [10:18] kwyjibo: some brand/make laptops have extra tools you can get/install to controll their fans. [10:18] *shouldn't [10:18] we are moving backward in term of quality [10:18] Dr_Willis: but its just sitting there at a blank desktop. and it isn't that loud in windows [10:18] kwyjibo: for my AcerAspireOne there was a seperate fan controll/speed deamon. [10:18] SSD is a step forward [10:19] its an acer laptop. low end. [10:19] kwyjibo: yes.. as i said theres MIGHT be some exctra program that can controll it. [10:19] not quite a netbook. [10:19] balau: thanks and how can i change the /etc/network/interfaces/ which you were telling? [10:19] fusion_, did you try not to execute "sudo pon dsl-provider" but let it connect by itself? [10:19] kwyjibo: you may want to check the forums. [10:19] fusion_, if you want to change "/etc/network/interfaces" make a backup copy with "cp /etc/network/interfaces ~/interfaces.bak", then edit the file with "gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces". Remove all the lines by putting a "#" symbol at the beginning of the lines. Remove everything except the two lines I mentioned before. Then save and quit. [10:19] Dr_Willis: I searched for a while, that's why I came here [10:20] balau:no, should i try first disconnecting by using "poff" [10:20] balau: and restart the system again and check? [10:21] fusion_, if you restart then there is no need to do "poff" [10:21] Anyone have any idea why wine would cause my entire system windows to fade until I open up nvidia config? I cant seem to figure it out, and its driving me insane. [10:21] Dr_Willis: are these fan speed daemons unique to one model from one brand? [10:21] kwyjibo: they can be. It also depends on the chipset/fan controller in the laptop [10:22] fusion_, after you restart, you don't run "pon" and see what happens. [10:22] would it help if i found you the model? [10:22] kwyjibo: I would put in 'modle name fan control ubuntu' in google and see what comes up. [10:22] klown: Fade? [10:23] balau: let me try doing so.lets me see wether it connect automatically or not. please wait. [10:23] Jordan_U, it kind of seems like it goes to 16bit color, but everything is still there. if you understand what I mean [10:24] klown: Screenshot? [10:24] Jordan_U, sec === czoik is now known as tudik [10:25] balau: internet connects automatically [10:26] fusion_, great, and how long did you have to wait before "Modem hangup" ? [10:27] balau: no problems till now. do you have an idea what is going on?? why was it is getting disconnect using "sduo pon dsl-provider". and about modem hang-up it is random. i was facing same problem in ubuntu 9.10 due to which i degrade to ubuntu 9.04. [10:28] "pon" is an irritating term o.O [10:28] fusion_, maybe the problem is that when you do "sudo pon ..." you have two connections, ppp0 and ppp1, that interfere with each other with unpredictable behavior [10:30] hello guys, could you tell me how to make /opt/lampp/htdocs directory and all sub-directories readable,writeable executable to everyone and how to make sure it worked? === node is now known as thenetduck [10:30] KEFIR: just the directories or files too? [10:30] KEFIR: you dont want to use 777 [10:30] files too [10:30] balau: please check this. http://pastebin.com/d22b2bed5 this is when Internet connect automatic. [10:31] Jordan_U, heres a normal pic [10:31] KEFIR: they have their permissions set for a reason [10:31] yep I used sudo chmod 777 path/* is it correct? [10:31] balau: can we stop autostart internet connection and only start it when i want?? [10:31] KEFIR: dont use that [10:31] KEFIR: and its not correct [10:31] http://imagebin.org/73374 [10:32] scary - kicking security features in the head like thaat. :) [10:32] anyone know how to get lirc working? i had it working in a older ubuntu but today i got 9.10 [10:32] fusion_, it is possible but I never did it. I have to check how to do it [10:32] Jordan_U, a screen shot shows there is no issue ;/ [10:32] Does anybody know how to get m4a's to playback in banshee? [10:33] http://imagebin.org/73375 [10:33] balau: ohk. i ill too try to find out. thanks [10:33] klown: I was afraid of that [10:33] klown: Can you take a photo? [10:33] iceroot: so what to use instead? [10:34] hey, just upgraded to karmic, sound is now kaput - anyone want to point me at a troubleshooting guide? [10:34] Jordan_U, no, I cant, sorry [10:34] KEFIR: nothing. i said 777 is bad so i dont support it [10:34] a+w then you mean& [10:34] ? [10:34] fusion_, I think that the file that connects automatically is /etc/ppp/pppoe_on_boot, if you remove the line related to dsl-provider it should not connect. [10:34] fusion_, but I'm not sure [10:34] klown: See if it still happens if you disable/enable compiz [10:34] KEFIR: dont change permission, there is a reason for it === reactor_ is now known as reactor [10:35] hi all [10:35] i have a quick question [10:35] but that's why my webserver showing me 403 forbidden at localhost [10:35] install.py crashes. can't install ubuntu. any idea?

[10:36] sdcard support is in the .16-rc1 >= kernel [10:36] Jordan_U, you mean the visual effects and such? [10:36] can anyone help me? [10:36] klown: Yes [10:36] KEFIR: yes, read about chown, not chmod [10:37] !enter | Hannibal [10:37] Jordan_U, when I switched from none, to anything else, my taskbar and such disappear [10:37] oh thanks a lot guys [10:37] Hannibal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:37] i just installed latest ubuntu.. came with .14 kernel... i need .16-rc1 ketnel. i'm trying to get sdcard support.. support is in the .16 kernel... help? [10:38] latest kernel here i got is 2.6.32-15 [10:38] oops .31 Imean.. [10:38] Hannibal, I never did it, but you need the linux .deb package with the correct version (.16-rc1) and install it. If you can't find the .deb package already compiled then you need to recompile a kernel yourself [10:38] Dr_Willis:Do you mean I need to set user that runs webserver as the owner of htdocs dir? [10:38] Hi === Tim is now known as Glowball [10:38] KEFIR: thats how i think it normally works. and the web server is its own user [10:38] Hannibal: What do you mean .16-rc1? That versioning isn't used for the Ubuntu portion of the version [10:38] KEFIR: but its been ages since i last messed with this [10:39] ah almost got it, thanks a lot) [10:39] My hard drive, which I formatted last evening, seems to have 35GB of space used [10:39] formatted to ext4* [10:39] Glowball: how did you format it [10:39] Billiard: With GParted [10:39] balau: ah ok.. so basicly boot into the livecd.. d/l the .deb,/chroot and use dpkg for install? [10:40] Hannibal: What happens currently when you try to install Ubuntu 9.10 to an sdcard? I have done it with the stock kernel [10:40] Jordan_U: bios doesn't boot from sdcard... [10:41] thus the need for kernal support [10:41] Hannibal, well if your system is already installed and running I don't think you need to boot from livecd [10:41] I don't know why from last my upgrade firefox icon is lost. When I go under appli->internet ff isn't shown. Have I to insert it manually? Thank you in advance.. [10:41] Glowball: 5% of ext2/3/4 is reserved by default - thats tuneable via the 'tune2fs' command [10:41] balau: its not running :p thats the problem [10:41] Dr_Willis: Ah. Reserved for what? [10:42] Glowball: root/system recovery ussage. set it to 1% if you want. or less.. [10:42] meh i should get some sleep [10:42] 3:00 am [10:42] i'll take a stab at this later [10:42] thanks tho balau and Jordan_U [10:42] ttyl [10:42] Hannibal: You mean grub support? By the time you are in the initrd it doesn't matter what the bios can or can't read and before that it's grub that needs to be able to load the kernel and initrd into memory [10:42] Dr_Willis: Ok, I will, ty :) [10:42] Glowball: depending on you rneeds/system. :) Just a data disk - you could set it very low, or 0. for your root drive..i wouldent set it to 0 [10:42] I don't know why from last my upgrade firefox icon is lost. When I go under appli->internet ff isn't shown. Have I to insert it manually? Thank you in advance.. [10:43] Glowball: the setting ONLY takes effect after you use tune2fs, then reboot also.. [10:43] Dr_Willis: It's data only [10:43] could anybody tell me how to stop nginx webserver and switch it's autoloading off [10:43] Jordan_U: it goes through initrd i have the /boot on a partition on my internal drive... the / is on the sdcard [10:43] Hannibal: That should work fine with the stock kernel [10:44] Hannibal: Does your BIOS try to boot off the SD card, or is it ignored? [10:44] Jordan_U: when i boot, i'm presented with busybox [10:44] utrrrongeeb: ignored.. sony screwed me over with this vaio [10:44] Hannibal: So where's Busybox coming from? (if not the SD card) [10:45] install.py crashes. can't install ubuntu. any idea? [10:45] i would assume initrd/whatever is in /boot [10:45] Hannibal: Is the UUID in your root= line correct? [10:45] Jordan_U: i have no clue on how to check it... its been a while :p [10:45] Hannibal: blkid [10:46] Jordan_U: ok... i'll doubble check [10:47] jozefk: Is this the install CD? [10:47] yes. i downloaded it twice, butrned it twice but still the same [10:47] burned* [10:48] Jordan_U: the partitions on the memorycard doesn't even show up [10:48] !networkmanager [10:48] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [10:48] Hannibal: Try "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" [10:49] jozefk: i perfer to make bootable flash drives - to install from. For mymachines that can boot from flash drive [10:49] mate's how to register here ? [10:49] Best method for turning a ubuntu kde version into media server. [10:49] What is..? [10:49] how do I exit rdesktop without stopping the VDR at the sametime, I've tried control+C except that killed my VB as well? [10:49] Jordan_U: same... and they're pointing to /sda1->4 [10:50] jozefk: Sorry, I don't know much about the installer. The closest I can guess is that the CD is corrupted anyway, or something about your hardware or configuration is crashing it. [10:50] i can't boot from USB. only if I start booting from CD and to continue from USB but not sure if it is possible with ubuntu [10:50] RussellAlan: install some media server service - or file shareing service.. depending on the details of what you are 'serving' to. [10:50] Hannibal: What is the linux device name for the sd card? [10:50] hardware? only if my cdrom is dying [10:50] what should I do if when using 'top' utility, if it shows only first n of processes [10:50] Jordan_U: it was rathor long /mcb soemthing... [10:51] i boot parted magic from USB but CD was inside at the same time. booting started from CD and continued from Flash :) [10:51] not sure if such kind of things are possible with ubuntu [10:51] Jordan_U: i'll boot to my livecd... [10:52] what script can i look for to do a network test mb/s down and mb/s up through ssh [10:52] jozefk: You can put grub2 on a CD with a script that will search for and add options to boot Ubuntu iso's [10:53] do you have some instructions for that? [10:53] jozefk: You could try checking the integrity of the CD image you downloaded, and the CD you burned. (I recently experienced installing Debian on a CD drive with errors. It worked, eventually.) [10:53] I just hand-made a flash drive with grub2 to boot iso files. :) havent seen any automated scripts for that.

Use -size -512M to list files <512M etc [11:09] Dr_Willis, do u know any command to probe and capture sound card [11:10] :) that's what I was thinking about too :) instructions are for booting from flash not from CD.

[11:56] nyha, if you choose "Application in Terminal" it already opens a xterm-like terminal, but it runs it in your home directory. Maybe you could create a simple script and run that from the menu. [11:56] dstaubsauger, you can make one with Xorg-configure I think. Otherwise just google xorg.conf perhaps with "radeonhd" or something.

[12:16] pleease [12:16] I can have only 1024*768 [12:16] Flannel: ? [12:17] pendlaren: I hope thats your upgrade works then [12:17] izzi: the evaluation of `locale` returned a few errors, so I had to fix /etc/default/locale [12:17] Flannel, nice, but it does not work with gnome-terminal. nyha, he's suggesting to replace that read with the "| less" [12:17] pendlaren: cewl [12:17] rolo: but the apt error is gone [12:17] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/92056 [12:17] this is my problem [12:17] What is its maximum specification?

PXE, ISO file [12:29] i put a iso file on the floppy [12:29] but its not working [12:29] !sound [12:29] 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).

[12:30] cXhristian: so no yuo didnt put it on a floppy [12:30] cXhristian: its impossible [12:30] but its there [12:30] i swear === jku_ is now known as jku [12:30] hello [12:30] cXhristian: you cant fit 700Mb of data on a disk which will only hold 1.44Mb [12:30] cXhristian, It's not all of it then, burn the ISO in the CD or DVD [12:30] i dont have any cd or dvd [12:31] hello === Anon476 is now known as ajay-tech [12:31] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/92056 [12:31] cXhristian: buy or steal one, you can get them for cheaper than a pack of smokes [12:31] cXhristian, do you have a CD/DVD drive? [12:31] hello [12:31] !hi | scx [12:31] scx: 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! [12:31] hmm [12:31] i dont want to steal [12:31] and im poor [12:32] hello [12:32] i am looking for SFTP client (gtk+2 OR Qt) [12:32] i just want to use a os without viruses [12:32] :( [12:32] when the torrents work the internet gets stuck - there is anything to do??? [12:32] cXhristian, do you have Windows installed? [12:32] i use GNOME [12:32] cXhristian: you can use a USB / SD Card to install with too if you have one spare [12:32] cXhristian, as ActionParsnip has suggested, borrow an ubuntu CD from a friend [12:32] all of my friends use windows :( [12:33] and i said i have no usbs :((( [12:33] cXhristian, you need a blank CD first and burn the ISO onto it [12:33] cXhristian so what is your problem? [12:33] i dont have any CDSSSSS [12:33] im poor so i cant buy any [12:33] * Acid coucou [12:33] i only have floppies [12:34] !mini [12:34] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:34] ty ubottu [12:34] what is ubottu? [12:34] cXhristian, forget floppies, they will take you nowhere [12:34] cXhristian: a channel bot. [12:34] my best friend [12:34] hello everyone. why i can't mount my device: http://pastebin.com/m285d2ca6 [12:34] have you thought about getting one through shipit if posiable? [12:35] cXhristian, if you have Windows, mount the iso with DaemonTools and install via Wubi [12:35] so i cant use floppies? [12:35] cXhristian, so that I am in the same page as you, do you have a CD drive? [12:35] you should add support for floppies [12:35] no [12:35] that is why i want to use floppies [12:35] ciao [12:35] so cXhristian are you trying out linux? [12:35] cXhristian: i doubt if adding floppy support is going to happen any time soon. [12:36] !list [12:36] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [12:36] :( [12:36] ok [12:36] because yuo might be able to install it in virtualbox if you want to test it out [12:37] what is virtualbox? [12:37] !vbox | cXhristian [12:37] cXhristian: 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 [12:37] ?? :( [12:37] virtualbox lets you run an OS inside an OS. :) [12:38] wow [12:38] cXhristian, so your ISO is on your windows operating system now? [12:38] wow really? [12:38] is that possible? [12:38] how does it work? [12:38] a program that you can virtualise an os and run it in a windowed enviroment in windows or linux or mac os x [12:38] cXhristian: if it wasent possible.. why would we be saying to use it? [12:38] im not sure [12:38] cXhristian: you can use floppies if the systemcabn't boot from CD to make the CD boot, You can also use PXE boot to boot and install from network [12:38] ChrisTX: it emulates a pc, inside software. [12:38] i thought it was possible to use floppies so im not sure if this ubuntu work [12:39] I cant recall very many linux disrtos these days that are installable from floppies any more. [12:39] really? now do I also get a virtual graphics card then? [12:39] even TInyCore Linux is 10mb. [12:39] ChrisTX: it emulates all the hardware.. yes.. you would get linux in a 'window' on the wndows machine [12:40] i have it right now [12:40] wow so can I somehow bundle the virtual graphics card any the one in pc then? so I would get better graphics? [12:40] wow this dounds really cool [12:40] ChrisTX: you are confused about how vbox works.. go read its homepage and test it out [12:40] its free.. so you have little to lose. [12:40] cXhristian, ActionParsnip Dr_Willis what if cXhristian intalls ubuntu via Wubi inside windows? He has no CD drive, no USB slots, not sure about the PXE thing? [12:40] yeah Im really confused now [12:40] except download limit lol [12:40] cXhristian: read up on virtualisation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paravirtualization [12:41] mka: i dnt think you an do a wubi install that way [12:41] mka: worth a shot [12:41] wikipedia is too advanced for me :( [12:41] Id rather use Virtualbox then Wubi any day. :) [12:41] Ive seen ubuntu videos on youtube, but it seems their installations were broken, their windows were all shaky [12:41] mka: good idea (even if wubi is the devil spawn) [12:41] ChrisTX: thats a feature. [12:41] !alsa [12:41] 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 [12:42] ChrisTX, it's the Wobbly Windows feature of Compiz [12:42] but how to get them to stand still then? [12:42] cXhristian: download and use wubi, it will install ubuntu as an app under windows and will giove you a dualboot (of sorts) [12:42] ChrisTX: you disable the feature [12:42] wow cool [12:42] but dont I loose functionality then? [12:42] but how do i get this wubi? [12:42] Anyone know of any good bandwidth monitoring tools for SNMP based devices, that can graph each host every minute [12:42] cXhristian: it has massive shortcomings but its an option [12:42] (that displays the graphs in the browser) [12:43] is there any way to learn what of my partitions are logical and what are primary from df? [12:43] but i want a working ubuntu :( [12:43] ManDay: sudo fdisk -l will tell you [12:43] !wubi [12:43] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [12:43] fair enough Aciid_ [12:43] sprry ActionParsnip [12:43] ty [12:43] what? ubuntu is a windows application now? [12:43] Im now really confused [12:43] jus wubi [12:44] just* [12:44] how can i run an os inside windows? i dont understand this :( [12:44] ChrisTX, there are many different ways to install Ubuntu, inside Windows is just one of them [12:44] ManDay: rerd the output, it will show you an extended partition and how the logical partitions occupy it [12:44] Time to go read about wubi. and virtualbox. I would try virtualbox first. [12:44] cXhristian, it will be a working ubuntu but it will have some "minor" issues [12:44] but i want it to be working [12:44] I don't mind Wubi ): [12:44] i dont want viruses [12:44] with virtualbox you can run it inside windows but with wubi you can choose at startup [12:44] ChrisTX: no it will use some filespace on the ntfs and use that to install with [12:44] cXhristian, no viruses [12:44] but i dont want viruses [12:44] cXhristian: so go read up on WUBI and try it out. [12:45] ChrisTX: its god awful [12:45] what is ntfs ? [12:45] I thought I was running windows [12:45] but what if windows gives my ubuntu viruses? :( [12:45] it wont [12:45] cXhristian, Windows can't read the Ubuntu disks [12:45] but [12:45] ActionParsnip, how can i find out about the fs on each partition? [12:45] cXhristian, if you need full-blown ubuntu consider buying a CD drive in future [12:45] windows is still installed [12:45] ChrisTX: ntfs is the windows filesystem [12:45] jajajajajaj [12:45] I have some troubles with the live cd of xubuntu.. Running from usb. The problem is i can't run apt-get, any web browser etc.. [12:45] fdisk just states "linux" as fs, ActionJacks_ [12:45] darn [12:45] ActionParsnip, [12:45] buenos dias [12:45] what ubuntu runs in my windows' filesystem but windows cannot read it? [12:45] muchos gracias [12:45] cXhristian: Ditch windows and you ditch the virus [12:45] sounds like I would loose my data [12:46] ManDay: the right hand colomn says [12:46] yes but i cant install ubunti without windows [12:46] ChrisTX: it boots to linux, windows is just the boot loader to boot the wubi OS. [12:46] ActionParsnip, it says "Linux" [12:46] thats not an fs [12:46] an fs would be something like ext2 ext3 reiser etc [12:46] what do boots have to do with computers now? [12:46] ManDay: sudo parted -l is a little more descriptive [12:46] ChrisTX: back up your data [12:46] opius have u tried reinstalling to the usb? [12:46] thanks [12:46] im so confused :( [12:46] i just want linux [12:46] how am I supposed to backup my data if it destroys my files [12:46] ajay-tech. I can't at the moment [12:46] I dont get it [12:46] :( [12:46] no way to get that info from an ordinary system tool? cant believe it! ActionParsnip [12:47] hi all [12:47] how can i reinstall alsa [12:47] ManDay: define "ordinary" [12:47] ManDay: parted tells you the fs [12:47] ChrisTX, the windows installation version makes a file on your disk the ubuntu uses as a harddrive. [12:47] something that everyone has installed - like, f.e. fdisk [12:47] ajay-tech. I'm trying to add boot records to my hdd's (dual booting mac os x with ubuntu). Neither of my drives can boot [12:47] i dont have parted [12:47] i want to install ubuntu alone, but you guys tell me to use windows [12:47] now ubuntu is a file? [12:47] ManDay: parted is part of a default install [12:47] :( [12:47] really what is it now [12:47] cXhristian: then you need a CD [12:47] but i dont have any [12:47] cXhristian: then go get some blank cd's and a drive [12:48] ActionParsnip, i got less than the default install [12:48] ChrisTX: it CAN be if you use wubi [12:48] but fdisk is something id consider ordinary [12:48] anyway, nothing but parted? [12:48] cXhristian: you have been given the options - so decide what you want to do.

[12:48] ManDay: well you can run: mount and it will tell the type there too if its mounted [12:48] sounds like it is awesome [12:48] wut just happened. [12:48] ChrisTX, it is awesome :) [12:48] Ive seen something else cool on youtube [12:48] mount -ls ActionParsnip is fine [12:48] some guys had a 3d cube [12:48] When i look in parted, both my internal and external drives have boot flag, and efi partitions [12:48] thanks [12:48] with fishes inside [12:48] how do I get that? [12:49] ManDay: if you run: sudo apt-get install parted you will get the command, its part of a standard ubuntu install [12:49] ChrisTX, it's a Compiz effect [12:49] well the cube is easy it is just compiz [12:49] If i only could get firefox running.. [12:49] what's compiz? [12:49] but the fishes is a plug in [12:49] the standard ubuntu is crazy bloated [12:49] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nYCE9FyZo8 [12:49] i want that [12:49] a desktop manager [12:49] keyboard problem: my layout: generic 105, german no dead keys, after upgrading to karmic I lost all symbols which need altGr (euro, pipe, at,...) in GUI apps - in terminal everything is fine [12:49] Hi everybody [12:49] opius: What is wrong with firefox? [12:49] if i new how to make another distro like puppy or gentoo work with the ubuntu repos id go there [12:49] ChrisTX: install video drivers so you have 3D accelleration, you can then run: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [12:49] sadly i dnt === dang3rou5 is now known as noren [12:50] hi skippy [12:50] usr13: poor ram use for one [12:50] usr13: slow rendering compared to webkit based browsers [12:50] I have a eeepc with the ubuntu and a ugly desktop... [12:50] ManDay: you can use "sudo blkid" to check filesystem types [12:50] now firefox is bad, too? [12:50] i have a question [12:50] ActionParsnip: O [12:50] ugly as in how? [12:50] I was going to use it on ubuntu [12:50] can i run internet on unbuntu? [12:50] I need a "normal" ubuntu desktop [12:50] cXhristian, yes [12:50] http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5403/bildschirmphoto2.png [12:50] ManDay: the next generation of puppy is supposed to somehow use the ubuntu repos.. but i gave up on puppy [12:50] i can? [12:50] ajay-tech: [12:50] ChrisTX: you can, there are many many browseers available for linux [12:51] hi [12:51] hi, donita [12:51] so you have the netbook version [12:51] Dr_Willis, yes im too fine with an ubuntu minmal install [12:51] ActionParsnip, can u help me out with sound trouble...... my aplay -l say sound card not found [12:51] but [12:51] Hi mka and all [12:51] yeah I know that from windows [12:51] ah im so confused :(((( [12:51] i say we have ourselves trolls visiting [12:51] it already confused me there [12:51] ajay-tech: yes [12:51] but now Im even more confused [12:51] noren: i suck at sound issues dude, never had a single sound issue [12:52] noren, what kind of soundcard do you have? [12:52] so you are sure that if i install ubuntu as a program on windows it wont get infected? [12:52] !sound [12:52] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). 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 [12:52] how can I change this interface without reinstall [12:52] ChrisTX, what confuses you? [12:52] cXhristian: no [12:52] kind of everything [12:52] ChrisTX, firefox isn't "bad" and it's included in ubuntu [12:52] ActionParsnip, how can i reinstall alsa and configure my system to use it [12:52] ChrisTX: you have choice in linux, you dont have to use the default apps [12:52] cXhristian: use vbox to install windows in Ubuntu [12:52] Skippythekangoo: install the ubuntu-desktop package and check the netbook forums - they tell how to get a normal desktop going [12:52] but i thought windows was infected [12:52] cXhristian, it wont as long as you dont try to infect it yourself [12:52] noren: use what? [12:52] but what if windows infect vbox? [12:52] one says it isnt bad and other one says it is [12:52] usr13, no.. use the wubi [12:53] how could that not confuse me [12:53] Dr_Willis: all right, I try this [12:53] thx [12:53] cXhristian, who said windows was infected? [12:53] ChrisTX: you will get that with every single software available [12:53] cXhristian: It won't [12:53] i read it on some webpage [12:53] ActionParsnip, i meant use in the system [12:53] it was there i heard about ubuntu [12:53] so how do I know which one is good then, like on windows? [12:53] noren: use what in the system? [12:53] so i want to have ubuntu [12:53] cXhristian: Download the ISO [12:53] Hello all, I have got a problem, I wanted to read a forum, but suddenly I am banned from the ubuntu forums but I didn't do anything there the last months! Most of the times I visit the Dutch forum, and I can visit that normally. [12:53] I even don't know if I've got an international account! Does anybody know how to solve this misunderstanding? [12:54] cXhristian, it's not infected but more vulnerable to viruses than Linux and MAC OS [12:54] ChrisTX, just use what ever browser you want. firefox is the default in ubuntu and it works like a charm for most all people [12:54] cXhristian: go download wubi and use that to install it [12:54] almost 12 am in australia [12:54] what is mac os? [12:54] on apple computer [12:54] ChrisTX: you try them and judge for yourself [12:54] apple? [12:54] but isnt that a lot of work?

Thanks. [12:55] oCean_, I kind of got the same impression. [12:55] opius: very good [12:55] noren: i told you, i dont know how to fix sound issues [12:55] noren, open a terminal and run lspci and use pastebin to give us the output [12:55] ok, but then i dont want a mac [12:55] i want linux [12:55] oCean_, I don't think it's a question of trolls, just stupidity [12:55] cXhristian, first thing first, Wubi [12:56] but i cant find download link [12:56] cXhristian: go use wubi, you wuill get ubuntu without need for any extra disks [12:56] !pastebin | noren [12:56] noren: 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 [12:56] cXhristian: http://wubi-installer.org/ download and run that [12:56] Halitech, i know abt pastebin here goes http://pastebin.com/f35bb86da [12:56] First hit on google for 'wubi' also. Wow. :) [12:57] wow I just downloaded that wubi [12:57] Hello all, I have got a problem, I wanted to read a forum, but suddenly I am banned from the ubuntu forums but I didn't do anything there the last months! Most of the times I visit the Dutch forum, and I can visit that normally. I even don't know if I've got an international account! Does anybody know how to solve this misunderstanding? [12:57] and antivir says it's a virus === xcombelle_ is now known as xcombelle [12:57] help me I downloaded a virus [12:57] cXhristian: its the big link in the middle of the screen [12:57] usr13, Do you know a possible fix for running apt-get on live_usb , if i get an error stating Type "root:x:0:" is [12:57] ChrisTX: or your av program is wrong. [12:57] i downloaded it [12:57] but its asking for the iso === timber_ is now known as timber [12:57] but i already put the iso on the floppy [12:57] RobotFreak: Maybe #ubuntu-ops can help with that? I don't know if they deal with the forum though. [12:57] usr13, not know in /etc/apt/sources.list [12:58] cXhristian: you can tell it to download the iso for you [12:58] Dr_Willis how can you tell? [12:58] but i dont want to redownload :( [12:58] it wont let me install ubuntu [12:58] Thanks grawity, I'll try that! [12:58] noren, it looks like its seeing the sound card but its got 10 modules loaded for it, you need to unload the ones you don't need [12:58] what can I do? [12:58] ChrisTX: disable your av software [12:58] cXhristian: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [12:58] how do I do that? [12:58] cXhristian, put the iso image to the folder you run wubi from [12:58] RobotFreak: If not - there still should be a "Contact" link in the forum somewhere. [12:58] ChrisTX: no idea. its your software. [12:58] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.. [12:58] but the iso is one the floppy [12:59] Grawity, yes there is a link, but it asks me to log in :P [12:59] cXhristian then make an image out of it [12:59] Halitech, how to figure that out [12:59] cXhristian: you did NOT put a 600+MB iso file on a floppy disk. [12:59] cXhristian, the ISO on your floppy is INCOMPLETE [12:59] cXhristian: no its not. its a 700Mb ISO file [12:59] it says clamwin when I click it [12:59] you know how to disable it? [12:59] ChrisTX: time to read the docs for that software then. [12:59] noren, I would guess probably the snd-hda-intel is the one you want [12:59] but where is my iso then [12:59] Hi Dr_Willis [12:59] if its not on my floppy [13:00] Hi Dr_Willis, it's me [13:00] cXhristian, ISO size, as you have been told already, is 700MB and the floppy size is 1.44MB [13:00] ActionParsnip: it's pure trolling behaviour, bud [13:00] donita: wow! :) it is? [13:00] Halitech, yes it is [13:00] http://www.clamwin.com/content/view/18/46/ <- that's it [13:00] guys... stop wasting your time with cXhristian [13:00] but where is my iso then!? [13:00] how do I disable that [13:00] troll is a troll [13:00] ChrisTX: time to read the docs for that software then. [13:00] noren, ok, then I think its sudo rmmod and the name of the ones you want to remove [13:00] Ubuntu netbook remix is awesome [13:00] You were trying to help me [13:00] what is a troll? [13:00] oCean_: thng is i'm not going any where today and have nothing better today, if I feed it enough it will burst [13:00] cXhristian, I thought you have the ISO in your hard drive [13:00] now I am all right [13:00] where do I find them? [13:00] yes but then i put it on the floppy [13:00] Im really confused [13:01] ChrisTX | http://www.clamwin.com/content/view/18/46/ <- that's it [13:01] but you guys said i couldnt do that [13:01] where does evolution contacts are saved on ubuntu one? [13:01] ActionParsnip: ok, we'll see [13:01] ah I found it [13:01] cXhristian, go to http://ubuntu.com and download a new ISO if you no longer have one [13:01] btw if I would like to have a remote access to my server, should I go with an openssh server software? [13:01] let me start wubi again [13:01] but it took my 2 days to download :( [13:01] when the torrents work the internet gets stuck - there is anything to do??? [13:01] Ndition: if you want ssh access.. yes. [13:01] tough luck cXhristian [13:01] cXhristian: download the iso and wubi using the links I gave you can then install ubuntu as an app in windows. there is no need for any floppies [13:01] oCean_: i'd give it 2 hours [13:01] mgv2: you could try limiting the bandwidth of the torrents in your torrent client [13:01] but its taking so long [13:01] cXhristian, of course it is a big file to download every now and then [13:01] it gives me an error message now [13:01] thx for all [13:01] bye [13:02] Wubi has stopped working... [13:02] hello [13:02] Dr_Willis What else can I use then to remotely access the server? [13:02] Please wait while Windows investigates the problem [13:02] what shall I do now? [13:02] im starting to think that this ubuntu isnt so good [13:02] cXhristian: it will depending on connection speed, its a large piece of data. Its an entire operating system [13:02] yes [13:02] Ndition: ssh will proberly handle all you really need to do. and it is WORTHWHILE to learn ssh very very well [13:02] ChrisTX: windows isnt supported here [13:02] Dr_Willis okay, thanks! [13:02] Ndition: depends also on what sort of stuff you want to do to the server [13:03] cXhristian, search for it in your machine, I believe it is still there [13:03] I want to install ubuntu and you say windows is not supported [13:03] now really [13:03] when i got my computer it was easy to install windows, but i cant install ubuntu :( [13:03] yeah [13:03] Dr_Willis it will mainly be a ftp! [13:03] you just tell me it's not supported [13:03] * l0ckd0wn is away (I'll reach in and take a bite out of that shit you call a heart) [13:03] I think that's not fair [13:03] ChrisTX: yes, if you have a windows virus in windows you should join ##windows [13:03] Ndition: ssh can replace ftp in many (if not most) cases [13:03] * bleah say hello [13:03] Okay [13:03] no it crashes now [13:03] I just want to install ubuntu [13:03] cXhristian, how did you install windows? you dont have a CD drive [13:03] Qualcuno sa aiutarmi per questi inconvenienti?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [14:20] Can I install ubuntu-standard withtout installing, lets say, popularitycontest? [14:21] ManDay, I think you would have to do a custom install but you should be able to select what you want and don't want that way [14:21] hey how do i remove the login password for a network applet.... please [14:21] I'm in /usr/share/applications and I want to edit files, but path is owned by root.

[14:22] Adam: the icon only gets changed in nautils then I suppose. If you right click on the panel icon (launcher) you can edit that as well. Why do you want to edit files in /usr/share/applications/ ? [14:22] (enforfing deps) [14:22] Adam, gksudo gedit or in a terminal sudo nano [14:22] jrib; thats the only way it changes on all places (from what i've read) [14:22] how do I exit rdesktop without killing the client as well, ive tried ctrl+c but that will also kill the client running which is annoying? [14:22] ManDay, don't think it will work that way [14:23] ManDay: you can use equivs or edit the source package for ubuntu-standard and remove the dependency yourself. Note that when popularitycontest is installed you are asked whether you want it enabled or not [14:23] jrib, right, editing the source is always a last resort [14:23] Adam: then the apps are broken. It shouldn't matter since when your changes get added to ~/.local/share/applications/ [14:23] i was just hoping for something more included in apttitutde [14:23] s/when// [14:24] hi, nautilus is supposed to support obex:// links but unfortunately it does not anymore in karmic. is there any fix for this? [14:24] Adam: you can use sudo to edit if you want but make a backup [14:24] e ae [14:25] Hi, does anybody knows wich package i need, that i can develop kde4 apps in kdevelop 3.5? when i open the "new project" wizard, i only have an empty category kde4 [14:25] to install adobe air apps, do i have to run the adobe air environment as root or as normal user? [14:25] After reinstalling, I can just copy-paste my present home directory and remain all settings, right? [14:25] Glowball: and make sure permissions are okay [14:25] hello can any one help me please... [14:25] jrib: Basic permissions aren't? [14:26] Glowball: your current user may have uid X but your new user in the new install may have uid Y not necessarily equal to X [14:26] jrib; Okay.. then probarly wont do it.. It's a file launched by Wine.. when it comes in the docky the docky uses the standard icon. And that icon is so ugly. [14:26] What was that other thing besides WPA supplicant that I 'd need for a working WPA2 connection? [14:26] jrib: Ehm, that wouldn't be a problem in a 1 user system, right? [14:27] Adam: no harm in trying, those .desktop files are just text files, but the .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/ should take precedence if you are running docky as your user [14:27] I have a problem getting xsane to work... can somebody help me, please? -> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/153634/ [14:27] Glowball: if they are both the first user you created, sure === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [14:27] jrib: Ok, ty :) [14:27] Karmic/ext4, here I come :) [14:27] Oh, and not to forget GRUB 2 === Vampire0 is now known as Vampire0_ [14:28] I'll probably be back in an hour with a bunch of problems ;P [14:28] Bye [14:28] yeah, that's a complete #$#$ === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [14:28] grub2 i mean [14:28] good luck === tdawgedogg is now known as josty === honesthacker is now known as honesthacker_ [14:30] does anybody knows wich package i need, that i can develop kde4 apps in kdevelop 3.5? when i open the "new project" wizard, i only have an empty category kde4 === honesthacker_ is now known as honesthacker [14:30] can somebody help me with this samba share issue...all my other drives share fine via samba but i have a external usb that plugs in and it shows it for samba share but gives me an error when i try to acces it [14:30] jrib; I'm using gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/"Wine Windows Programstartare" [14:31] jrib; I see no information when in the gedit [14:31] error code 0x80070043 [14:31] Adam: the file usually ends in .desktop. Just let the shell tab complete the name [14:31] josty: does it show in : sudo smbtree ? [14:32] actionparsnip: yes [14:32] and i can see it when i look for shared files on network in windows 7 [14:32] Adam: use: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Wine\ Windows\ Programstartare to handle the spaces [14:32] but it just says i cant access it after i click it [14:32] josty: is it suitably mounte? [14:33] dont know what that means [14:33] ActionParsnip; I'm in the file now, I see nowhere to edit the icon once again [14:34] jrib; I'm in the file now.. can't see anywhere to edit it [14:34] Adam: i'd use tab completion to finish the file name [14:34] Adam: read your ~/.local/share/applications/"SAME FILE NAME" as a reference [14:34] jrib; options given: type, name, exec, mimetype,nodisplay, startup notify [14:34] jrib; I'm in the file already [14:34] Adam: read your ~/.local/share/applications/"SAME FILE NAME" as a reference [14:34] josty: well do you have read access to the data, the partition is mounted but does it give appropriate access [14:35] Adam: ~ means /home/YOUR_USERNAME [14:35] hey folks [14:35] josty: you can check by running: munt [14:35] *mount [14:35] jrib; I know.. nvm just wanted to know how to change the icon once in the wine.desktop [14:35] um...i dont have the drive in fstab...its external so i just plug it in and it automounts in /media [14:35] sorry to bump in quickly, "How do I change init modes when in Xorg using the terminal?" :) [14:35] much appreciated [14:35] josty: check the mount options are good [14:36] josty: have you websearched the error code? [14:36] z0manifest: what are youy trying to acomplizh? ubuntu dosent use runlevels/init modes like many otehr disrtos do [14:36] !runlevels | z0manifest [14:36] z0manifest: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [14:36] na i think it has to do with permissions though [14:36] Adam: you need to add some Icon= line but since you already changed the icon as your user in the local version, you can just read the corresponding file in ~/.local/share/applications/ and copy it to the /usr/share/applications/ one [14:36] ooooh. [14:37] josty: the codes are telling you whats wrong, you should have websearched that before asking in here [14:37] sorry...asking google now [14:37] z0manifest: and one of the first things changing init levels would do (in other disrtos) would stop the GDM service - thus shutting down X. [14:37] Well been wanting to make sure I can get into Text mode so I can use the dpkg-reconfigure xsever-xorg.

[14:48] gutt1: you may need to run the ntfs-3g command and manually mount the things to get full access to them.

[15:48] legend2440: nope, no change [15:48] ActionParsnip: Well, that's most probably the reason why the terminal command didn't work too! [15:48] Hi, can I ask a question about Lupin here or is there a seperate channel for that? [15:48] chakie: ok she did a upgrade not a clean install? [15:49] * Dr_Willis wonders what Lupin is [15:49] Dr_Willis, I didn't try that. Thanks. I set it as user,auto,exec. Those settings work for a second hdd that gets mounted using fstab.

[15:49] mgv2: set you upload limit lower [15:50] ok [15:50] ActionsParsnip: Thanks, I will look it over. [15:50] chakie: ok i see Shift key is for grub2 [15:50] Hi, I just printed to file using a program I opened with wine but I can't find the file now. Where should I be looking?

I'm on 9.10. [15:51] she's not a happy camper now [15:51] mikebuntu: Remove the keyring's password (set it to an empty one).

I'll check it out. [15:52] I always do clean installs.. :) [15:52] and the ubuntus are just getting more and more unstable [15:52] Dr_Willis, I'm searching there but haven't been able to find it yet. What would the file be called? [15:52] aar: no idea. [15:53] chakie: never had an issue [15:53] aar: tell it to print to file again and pay attention towhere it saves to? [15:53] nevermind, figured it out. [15:53] ActionParsnip: that does not really help here, ok [15:53] Dr_Willis, it doesn't say where it's saving to -- there's no prompt. [15:53] chakie: neiter did your last comment.. [15:53] chakie: well you are saying they are getting less stable and i'm saying they arent [15:54] ActionParsnip: we've five systems that we've updated from 2006 or so, and they all have had problems [15:54] ActionParsnip: so i have some statistics to look at [15:54] anyway, nobody seems to know how to help her [15:54] chakie: try a clean install, see if its better [15:54] ActionParsnip: doh, that's what we don't want to do... [15:54] or try the various fixgrub wiki pages. Perhaps install the old grub. [15:55] ActionParsnip: a single package fails (udev) and it's a clean install? [15:55] chakie: is there a bug logged for it? [15:55] nothing can be installed on it, it gives a busybox shell after grub fails. not really a full running system [15:55] ActionParsnip: yes [15:55] ActionParsnip: 358654 [15:55] !bug 358654 === max is now known as Guest39799 [15:57] grawity, not sure what to do there... just changed the only key I saw to nil and restarted.

[15:58] mikebuntu: first tab/are where it says Passwords:login -> right click. set them to be blank. and it dosent ask [15:58] ActionParsnip: in the busybox prompt? [15:58] ActionParsnip: it does not boot... [15:58] chakie: boot a live cd, and chroot in to the installed system. would be one way [15:58] chakie: sure, or try booting to recovery root console [15:58] chakie: also run: sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.31-14-generic [15:59] how can i get a kenrel-module loaded every bootup? [15:59] !modules [15:59] To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates).

[15:59] Dr_Willis: ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp [15:59] rethus: add it to /etc/modules [15:59] ActionParsnip: how could that be done? not too familiar with crash recovery [15:59] chakie: when grub loads, select recovery mode, then select root [15:59] mikebuntu: yea - people dont think toright click on that entry [15:59] Dr_Willis: only sudo module-assistant ? [16:00] ActionParsnip: grub gives no chance to intercept [16:00] ActionParsnip: no menu, doesn't listen to Esc as it should. not possible [16:00] ActionParsnip: as i've tried to say [16:00] rethus: not sure. Ive not had to mess with modules in ages. the factoid also mentioned /etc/modules [16:00] chakie: press esc at boot, you should get the menu, or you can boot to live CD and chroot to the installed system [16:00] ActionParsnip: we don't get any menu [16:00] Dr_Willis: i have installed asterisk and need to load module dahidi at boot-time. [16:00] Dr_Willis, worked! Thanks again!

I installed it via the ppa from launchpad, and it starts up but it only has audio/vidoe/photos buttons (no settings) and selecting anyone of those brings up a blank page -- with no way to exit [16:05] bobo: what if you run: sudo mount /media/cdrom0 [16:06] it says something about wrong fs type [16:06] smithna: is there a ~/.canola2 folder? [16:06] Yes [16:06] smithna: rename it, then rerun the app [16:07] oh, sorry -- its' named just .canola [16:07] Guest21981: what type of sound file is it trying to play? [16:07] hello [16:07] smithna: fine, just rename it [16:07] can someone help me :) got a lill prob with ebox [16:07] ActionParsnip: it says it's write protected (its a home movie dvd) and something about wrong fs type, bad superblock on dev/sr0, and bad option [16:08] denzil: dont ask to see ifyou can ask a question. just ask the question. [16:08] bobo: look up you fstab which fs types there are defined for cdrom0 [16:08] bobo: you dont mount video dvds [16:08] ok [16:08] Plugh, it's a wav file, one of the defaults built in. [16:08] ActionParsnip: Done, trying it now [16:08] ActionParsnip: I was able to mount one yesterday and I copied it and stuff [16:08] bobo: just run an app like mplayer or vlc and tell it to play the DVD [16:08] well my prob is, i've setup a DHCP server with it, on my ubuntu with gnome interface. But it doesnt seem to give the internet connection through.. [16:09] ActionParsnip: That's the problem, it won't mount so they don't see it [16:09] chakie: if she has been upgrading since 7.04 it may be time to do a clean install [16:09] current setup: router/modem => server with ubuntu and ebox => pc's [16:09] legend2440: for a debian based system? why+ [16:09] bobo: you dont mount need to mount it, video dvds are read as raw [16:09] Guest21981: Odd. I have thunderbird play a .wav and it doesn't bring up an external program to do it. [16:10] how can i let it put through the internet connection? [16:10] Denzil: make sure the orrect gateway is part of the dhcp message given to the clients [16:10] ActionParsnip: oh ok my bad. but anyways, i can't see it when i go to computer, and VLC won't play it because it can't open it [16:10] and how do i do that? :P [16:10] klappi: how do i open fstab? [16:10] sorry, im a kinda newb to linux, first time so.. [16:10] Plugh, hmmm, maybe it's a bug... I'm using thunderbird 3 beta [16:10] Denzil: check the dhcp server settings [16:11] allright [16:11] ActionParsnip: No change :{ [16:11] smithna: i'd contact the package maintainer if its from a ppa [16:11] smithna: maybe if you run it with gksu [16:11] bobo: you dont need i didnt know it was a video media which is not mountet under linux but played with a video player app [16:12] oh oj [16:12] ok* [16:12] But anyway, i mean shouldn't the VLC at least be able to detect it and me be able to at least see it in the COmputer folder? [16:12] its setted up like this: [16:12] Guest21981: Possibly. I had that for a while in a different distro I was using but since 3beta wasn't also available for Windows at the time I've stuck with 2 [16:12] ActionParsnip: Why is that post under Outdated Tutorials and Tips? [16:13] default gateway: eBox, search domain eBox's domain linux.lan, primary nameserver local eBox DNS [16:13] if i put on the gateway of the router (ip) it says it isnt in the network? [16:14] cbrookins: no idea, you can teach ubottu if you like [16:14] Plugh, I see... thanks for trying [16:14] Denzil: can you ping IPs? [16:14] klappi: But anyway, i mean shouldn't the VLC at least be able to detect it and me be able to at least see it in the COmputer folder [16:14] hmm, i can ping to the gateway with wireless [16:15] but i cant ping to the gateway wired.. [16:15] Denzil: can you ping web based IPs [16:15] Denzil: or names [16:15] wireless yes [16:15] wired, nope [16:15] HEY! cant enable DVD playback, i have installed libdvdcss2.. w32codecs didnt install. dont know why [16:16] no one with gedit latex plugin? I lost the command behind Latex > PDF, please check for me in edit > preferences > plugins > latex plugin [16:16] hey i am trying to save something in /var/www and it says permision denided How can I save it [16:17] Hi, how do I unlock the keyring? [16:17] my ubuntu home server has 2 internet interfaces Eth0 and Eth1 [16:17] mzawieska: you need to apply ownership of yourself to the directory, or add yourself to the www-data group [16:17] hello how i run a scrit on the start ? [16:17] i use Eth0 to connect to the gateway [16:17] and Eth1 for the network [16:17] mzawieska: use gksudo nautilus [16:17] jadakren, how can i do that where should i go? [16:17] the server it self, seems to have a internet connection [16:18] hey i want run a script on start what i have to do ? [16:18] pro: you can add it in startup items if its to be ran after logon [16:18] pro: you can add it to /etc/rd.local if it needs running before log and as root [16:19] !startup [16:19] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [16:19] what means startup items? [16:19] pro: things that run at startup....what else can it possibly be? [16:19] mzawieska: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [16:20] oh my god pratically where are i have to wirte that my script run on the start? [16:20] How do I unlock the keyring? [16:20] hi guys, I heard many people say that Linux has autocopy! How is that?! [16:20] pro: startup of upstart is used under ubuntu as init replacement [16:20] pro: things that run after gdm and before desktop appearing [16:21] pro: anywhere, you just tell the startup thing to run it, there isnt a specific place to store it [16:21] what means init repalcenment ? [16:21] i need to put my script where ? [16:21] pro: dont sweat that. id it to be ran after logon or before? [16:21] ciao [16:21] How do I unlock the keyring? [16:22] FANDER, that is an extension which allow you to select text and it's automatically copied to the clipboard [16:22] befor [16:22] Manifest: you mean set it where you dont need to enter a password? [16:22] Dr_Willis: Yep [16:22] pro: ok then put the script in /usr/bin then call it in /etc/rc.local [16:22] hola gonorreas [16:23] application -> accessories -> keys/passwords -> right click where it says paswords:login set a blank password [16:23] pro: make sure the top line has #!/bin/bash and is marked as executable too [16:23] I think the bot needs this on a factoid [16:23] Dr_Willis: teach her then ;) [16:23] where are the files that tell gdm what sounds to play when it is ready for a user to log in? [16:24] Dr_Willis: !factoid is some_description [16:24] is there a file which saves the gui preferences for nautilus? [16:24] but i can't put it in etc/rcS.d/ ? like a symbolik link ? [16:24] !keyring [16:24] is there a file which saves the gui preferences for nautilus? ..and if so where is it? [16:24] pro: the yse of rc#.d stuff is slowly gettting removed in favor of using upstart [16:25] trayzz: gconf-editor [16:25] problem isnt fixed.. [16:25] pro: i'd leave that due to your obvious newness to the OS, rc.local will run the script once all the other boot levels have run but before GDM loads [16:25] hello :) [16:25] but i tryed to put it there but it don't work [16:26] i added a gate way in ebox with eth0 which is directly connected to my router/modem. It has a static IP, i've configured eth1 on the way, that he uses eth0 was gateway.. but it still doesnt work, what to do?? [16:26] hmmm... I ran canola from a terminal and noted a crash with ecore.c_ecore_animator.pxi && earlier (with power save) ecore.c_ecore_timer.pxi [16:26] jadakren thanks, my problem is that nautilus starts with the default layout and i thought it might be due to wrong user rights.. [16:26] !ics | Denzil may help [16:26] Denzil may help: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [16:26] what's the command to move a Folder from one directory onto another ? [16:26] i did ln -s myscript link in /etc/init.d/rcS.d [16:26] Tk_L, mv [16:26] trayzz: define 'default layout' [16:27] but does not work [16:27] like application font, size, etc [16:27] FANDER, are you sure you want autocopy? [16:27] i still cant connect to the internet with USB modem vodafone HSDPA/3G/GPRS... help me pls.. :) [16:27] trayzz: gconf-editor is a gui frontend to edit the gconf.xml file [16:27] FANDER, what would be the advantage for you? [16:27] pro: the format of scripts in the rc#.s stuff is very exacting. and unless you are going to make it use the start/stop/restart commands in the script. You may as well just launch it from /etc/rc.local [16:27] trayzz: which lives somewhere in a users home folder [16:28] Dr_Wilis: ack [16:28] jadakren, i wonder though if it's due to file ownership or if it's something else..started like a day ago for the first time [16:28] does that work allong with ebox? since i wanna use a DHCP server.. [16:28] pro: and the use of init.d/rc#.d is slowly getting phased out [16:28] not just an internet trough out server.. [16:28] where is the php.ini under ubuntu? [16:29] FANDER, if you want to see how this may work simply highlight some text and then middle click where ever you want to paste it [16:29] trayzz: have you tried killing the nautilus process then restarting it while you have system-monitor open to show open files? [16:29] rethus: try 'locate php.ini' [16:29] trayzz: thus showing you which files it's using [16:29] Dr_Willis: returns nothing [16:29] trayzz: in any case the gconf stuff lives in ~/.gconf [16:30] i have installed php5-cgi [16:30] who have an experiance with USB modem here? [16:30] emm.. i still cant connect to the internet with USB modem vodafone HSDPA/3G/GPRS... help me pls.. :) [16:30] rethus: then either you dont have one.. or its not called by that name.. or you need to update the locate database if you JUST installed that package. 'sudo updatedb' then try again [16:30] i can't find inittab where is ? [16:30] is there a "ps" function that I can use to sort the processes by memory usage? all of a sudden my processor power is being all devoted to...something, but I don't know what, I only have xchat and firefox open [16:30] can someone tell me how I can set firefox to scroll when I do a mouse wheel click? [16:30] pro: ubuntu dosent really use the inittab any more its using the upstart init system. [16:30] !inittab [16:30] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [16:30] u know, ill ask my teacher of school, since i'm learning to be a mediatechnologic, he must now how to set up a correct ubuntu dhcp server..

[16:34] coz_: I already have flashblock on [16:34] :) [16:34] ekontsevoy: youve not mentioned what video card you are using [16:34] trayzz: 1. goto paste.ubuntu.com 2. paste into text field there 3. get url result and paste it here [16:34] Dr_Willis: ok i got it [16:35] Alright, I can't figure out when this happened because I haven't needed it for a while. But Sometime in the last few updates to the soundsystem, firefox and/or flash something has gone wrong where any flash video will randomly stop playing audio and firefox will jump to using 136% of the CPU according to top. [16:35] jadakren, i posted it in a textfile: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/642705/nautilus.txt [16:35] Oddbio, ok install grab and drag this allows you to click and drag to scroll but I am still searching for other solutions so hold on [16:35] I am testing cron with the command mplayer -loop 0 /home/me/mp3.mp3 as root and it won't start (i can run the command from terminal). in my regular user crontab it starts but it won't loop, it plays just once [16:35] coz_: you mean click and drag like a pdf document scrolling? [16:35] theshadow: yeah it likes doing that, its a pretty shoddy browser imho [16:35] Oddbio, yeah just like that [16:36] coz_: well I like just clicking my middle mouse button once, and then all I have to do is move my mouse up or down to get it to scroll [16:36] Oddbio, except it seems to be more prificient in firefox than in pdf click and drag [16:36] theshadow: is your ubuntu 64bit? [16:36] ActionParsnip: no [16:36] Oddbio, understood... let me do a little searching here hold on [16:36] Elizabeth168: what video card you have? are you on Karmic? [16:36] Hi, is it possible to tell the new GDM to use the configured X keyboard layout, instead of using just (a pretty random) one of the choose box? [16:36] jadakren restarting nautilus worked [16:36] coz_: ok, thank you very much [16:36] theshadow: ah, ok cool [16:36] Azeotrope, does the command work without cron? is /home/me your home directory? pastebin the crontab line [16:37] jadakren, i wonder what it was though [16:37] trayzz: errors are a symptom of runnin nautilus from commandline.. don't worry about them [16:37] michas: it can be defined in xorg.conf [16:37] trayzz: not relevant to your problem [16:37] how do I play this ? http://www.apple.com/imac/the-new-imac/#small [16:37] it says i need quicktime installed [16:37] I am on Karmic, and just a second, i'll check on the video card [16:37] Anyone here ever had a problem with MySQL query browser on ubuntu? used to work fine, when I try to start it up today, and enter my password it closes the login window but doesn't open the query browser itself, it isn;t in the system monitor either [16:38] how can i find out, which service is run on port 80 now? [16:38] axisys, vlc plugin or mplayer plugin should be able to play qt videos [16:38] axisys: tell us the version of ubuntu you are running [16:38] ActionParsnip, xorg.conf is configured correctly. but GDM does not care about that layout. :( [16:38] i wan't to start lighttpd, and he sayd port is in use [16:38] jadakren: 9.10 [16:38] usser: yes, it works [16:38] axisys, have you installed restricted extras yet? [16:38] jadakren: i think so.. not sure how to double check tho [16:38] jadakren: i'll see if it reappears but for now it's fine.. thanks alot mate [16:39] Azeotrope, what is the crontab line you're using? [16:39] trayzz: welcome [16:39] Azeotrope, how often do you want it to run? [16:39] hi! i am running `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` but nothing happens, no output is displayed and i get back to the console; why is that? [16:39] how can i find out, which service is run on port 80 now? [16:39] axisys: dpkg -l | grep restricted [16:39] I think its flash. Cause in chromium flash is actually what jumps to 140% of cpu [16:40] usser: i have mozilla-plugin-vlc installed [16:40] rethus: lsof -i should tell you [16:40] usser here it is 38 18 * * * mplayer -loop 0 /home/azeotrope/Music/24.mp3 [16:40] axisys, hm maybe you need packages from medibuntu [16:40] ii ubuntu-restricted-extras 36 Commonly used restricted packages [16:40] axisys: or you can open synaptics up and search for restricted-extras [16:40] hello, does anyone knows how to use the infrared remote control of a dvbt usb television device?

[16:41] * NaxoneZ nas [16:41] guntbert: but if i do lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf stop it tells the error port 80 is in use [16:41] Oddbio, also you could go into about:config in firefox then enter mousewheel to see if any of the settings have been turned off accidentally [16:41] jadakren: it looks installed [16:41] I'm looking for a script (going to run on a Linux webhost) that can mirror a FTP dir to the local, thing is i have a list of files that i wish NOT to mirror, any such program exist? (the list is about 10k long) [16:41] Azeotrope, the above line will run the command at 6:38pm every day [16:41] coz_: trying that now [16:41] ok as of now i have two partitions on my local hard drive that of which being ubuntu linuxnd windows, now i ask you is there any way to access files that i have saved on my Linux partition from windows and vice versa access files that i have saved on my windows partition form Linux?

[16:45] coz_: I just thought it might work enabling them because horizscroll = horizontal scroll, but I want to scroll vertically... [16:45] axisys: ok solved. 1. open your movie player (totem) 2. file > open location : http://movies.apple.com/media/us/mac/imac/2009/tours/apple-imac-design_video-us-20091022_r320-9cie.mov [16:45] rethus: the part :www is the port, but I never used lighthttpd - you can try to stop it and then have a look with lsof -i - is it still running/listening?

Why ? WHY ? [17:15] Oddbio: Your machine will only download the packages that are applicable to your architecture. [17:16] Good day :) im trying to execute a *.i386 file (Urban Terror to be specific), apparently i have to right click it, go to properties and check the "Is executable" box. I have already checked it but when i click the file it keeps prompting me to choose a program to open it. Would you help me please? [17:16] bcj: does it work the same way when I do "sudo apt-get install" from the terminal? [17:16] mka: no, it just boots into windows [17:16] Oddbio: Yes [17:16] Nixot: dont execute windows applications with ./ call wine to run your applications like "wine tyr-quake.exe" [17:16] Oddbio: Without providing any special flags, apt will download the right package. [17:16] mka: What's wrong with ./ ? [17:16] bcj: :) [17:17] mka: you can if its marked as executable, the system will recognise the windows binary and throw it at wine [17:17] mka: when i plug the drive into my mac it says it's a fat32 fs labeld ubuntu-netbook remix [17:17] Is there any JRE installer is not affiliated with sun for ubuntu ? [17:17] mka: ./ can be used providing the binary is in the terminals pwd [17:17] ActionParsnip, grawity, gp5st: ok I didnt know that ubuntu is so intelligent! [17:17] maybe it'd be easiest to just boot into windows and run wubi [17:17] mka: It works in any distro - just sudo sysctl fs.binfmt.misc.register=":DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine:" [17:17] alabd: icedtea is an alternative [17:18] I removed Empathy to have Pidgin, and the Easy Switcher applet refuses to load. Also, the switcher window (When you're trying to do switch user) is unclickable (and my sister, whom I let use another account on my system does not know how to use keyboard shortcuts) Also, when recovering from the screensaver(using the Matrix one if it matters) it will go back to a black screen.

In the terminal they work fine but... won't start in cron jobs [17:18] mka: no problems; better to take something that works but isn't what i was looking for than to waste mine and other people's time [17:18] Azeotrope: What is the crontab line you use? [17:18] Azeotrope: Could it be a permissions issue? [17:18] Just an idea. [17:18] i did "sudo mount -t cifs //ip/dir /mnt/dir" but after i reboot i have to redo that command... is there anyway for me to mount my windows share on boot? [17:18] Azeotrope: try using full paths with the commands [17:19] Having problems with juniper vpn client and ubuntu 9.10 [17:19] it was working fine with 9.04 [17:19] gp5st, you dont have a CD?

"//ip/dir /mnt/dir cifs auto,defaults 0 0" [17:21] that'll do it [17:21] gp5st, I meant to ask which OS are you using now [17:21] thankyou. how do I go about changing that?

I think it's all working correctly, I'm just interested in learning about the discrepancy [17:23] dart: how fine is it? [17:23] ActionJacks_: Icedtea is a temporary fork of OpenJDK , and opendjk is affiliated with sun , yes ? [17:23] Snausages, cat /proc/cpuinfo, how many cores do you see? [17:23] I run 64 bits ubuntu and its reporting 3.5gig memory? :3 [17:23] what is the ajax channel anyone knows? [17:23] Snausages: maybe is just one core with HT (hyperthreading) [17:23] alabd, openJDK is not affiliated with sun in any way [17:23] hi [17:24] Disregard, I figured it out. [17:24] What is the main difference between 32 and 64-bit ubuntu? [17:24] how can i see if im running 64bits ubuntu? [17:24] ive just installed 9.10 on my eee 1000H, and the 2-finger-scroll (and middle mouse klick) does not work. how do I fix this? [17:24] is there a 64 bit stamp somewhere?

[17:24] what can i use to test my hd read and write speeds with a live ubuntu cd???? [17:24] tumii: 32 is for a 32-bit machine and 64 is for a 64-bit machine [17:24] until the Flash/java plugins are available in 64bit... I'm not bothering with 64bit Linux eh.

[17:25] gp5st, I was gonna say try System -> Administration -> USB Startup Disk Creation [17:26] I know apple doesn't but is there no work around yet, other than trying to get it to run in a vbox? [17:26] Not all machines can boot off USB memory sticks [17:26] tumii: first if your machine is already 32 bit, dont bother about 64 bit ubuntu [17:26] mka: i have a vm i could try that [17:27] ugh, widnows doesn't like the format of my disk, how did mac os read it then? [17:27] Guys - permissions question - I have a folder with 775 permissions, so others DO NOT have write permissions. The folder is owned by jason:samba.

[17:28] why do you think i am lying [17:28] tumii: I heard people using 64 bit machines crying about some softwares e.g. FLASH [17:28] yet, my user named "user" can write and hes NOT a member of Samba.... [17:28] roasted: ah [17:28] mka, nah ill just instal that 32 bit [17:28] tumii: but I am a 32 bit guy so, I cannot be helpful [17:28] dart: it doesn't matter if you are lying or not - its just off topic here [17:29] roasted: what can "user" do?

I just realized that propietary server means "not available on macppc architecture"... [17:29] mka, okay I have had 32-bit Ubuntu [17:29] Hi. I have an Ubuntu 9.10 system that I have already installed and customized. I would like to add full disk encryption. Ideally, this would have been done at install time with the alternate install CD, but I didn't know about it at the time. All of the HOWTOs seem dated and insufficient. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do this? I think the best path might be to back up the system with a file backup program, then [17:29] gp5st - he can write to the folder... yet he doesnt have write permissions.... [17:29] ill just install that [17:29] how to set up a SMB Share for /var/www on ubuntu 9.10 server edition? [17:29] http://pastebin.com/d45f23e7e this is what i got [17:29] mka: I've seen many people in here asking about getting flash & sound to work in 64-bit... sounds to me like 64bit is something to leave alone unless you really need that computational space [17:29] Xaevo: "man smb.conf" [17:29] plugh: thanks; i'm going to try the usb-creator first then that if it doesn't work [17:30] Snausages: Nope [17:30] roasted: you mean create files in the folder [17:30] regulator1, the best path is filesystem backup+recreate the fs with encryption+restore [17:30] hi im looking for an vga driver as the only resolution i get at the moment is 800x600 can anyone help me [17:30] gp5st - yes, he has full blown permissions from what I can tell. [17:30] regulator1: There's a ca. 400 char limit to messages on this server, so your message ended with"a file backup program, then" [17:30] Snausages: I guess the same too [17:30] roasted: and ls -ld is drwxrwxr-x ? [17:30] tumii: The main difference? That would be the amount of memory one can address in 64-bit vs. 32-bit. Some drivers/programs may not be available in 64-bit (yet). [17:30] Snausages: I run 64 bit Ubuntu and have had no problems what so ever. I use sound, Flash Java, Firefox, etc without problems. [17:30] mzawieska: I wouldn't expect too much help with *that* *here* [17:30] gp5st - if I take away write permission frmo the folder, user cannot write to the folder any longer. But the group is samba. Hes not a member of samba. Ahhhhhhhh this kills me. [17:30] Plugh: okay ill just stick with 32 bit [17:30] !ati [17:30] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:31] 64 bit has been pretty reliable for a while now. [17:31] Sorry. The rest:then reinstall it using the alternate install CD, then restore. I am new to Linux, so I am unclear on whether my original OS with all its customizations can write over the new one that I installed with the alt. install CD, so that I have my original OS with all of its customizations and my data files on my new encrypted partitions. Any ideas? Also, if this is the way to go, please recommend a backup package that wou [17:31] cya guys [17:31] nite all [17:31] roasted: i'm lost, if you take who's write permissions [17:31] i know but no1 is responding to me on ajax [17:31] gp5st - I actually lied, the folder has 770 permission, drwxrwx--- 48 jason samba 4096 2009-11-29 05:29 [17:31] bcj: yeah I imagine it's trouble-free in some configs, just as the 32-bit is... but from the volume of traffic in here it certainly seems to be harder to achieve that config than with the 32bit setup [17:31] how do i activate onboard? [17:31] gp5st - If I take away write ability from the group. The group is samba. If I take away write ability from the group, my user named "user" can no longer write. [17:31] gp5st: ok, good luck. I don't know what usb-creator is but the bootableusb page are the info that worked for me when other instructions failed. At least, when I had a machine that could boot off a usb stick. [17:31] regulator1:"a backup package that wou" -- ...ld do the job? :) [17:31] gp5st - that suggests hes a member of the group samba. [17:31] gp5st - but hes not :( [17:31] jason@Area51:/media/storage$ groups user [17:31] user [17:32] user is only a member of the group "user" [17:32] !enter | Roasted [17:32] Roasted: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:32] yes [17:32] guntbert - sorry, terminal did it [17:32] couldnt change it or I woulda [17:32] !pastebin | Roasted [17:32] Roasted: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [17:32] regulator1: I would copy the entire filesystem to an external disk using rsync, boot from a disk, change the filesystem to encrypted, and copy it back (skipping the installation of a temporary system). [17:32] In general I would suggest that if you have a 64 bit machine you give 64 bit Linux a go - if you have problems simply submit a bug (and help improve Linux) and if you really need stability, move back to a 32 bit system [17:32] guntbert - no thanks! [17:32] roasted: never say couldn't:-p you could paste to a text file and edit first [17:32] I know [17:32] roasted: hmmm [17:32] If we don't submit bugs nothing gets improved [17:32] but this chat enrages me with people who are so whiney [17:33] tumii: If you want to get adventorous, you can go for 64 bit. If you aren't that experienced with Linux, it would be best to stay 32. You might notice much difference anyway for most routine things. [17:33] Roasted: please do keep to the rules [17:33] plugh: it's an ubuntu util that prob just does everything on that page:-p [17:33] regulator1: But I confess this seems very tricky to me. :) [17:33] Plugh: I have used linux for some time but if flash still does not work properly(?) with 64 bit so ill just stay with 32 [17:33] kensanata: so the disk I should use is the alternate install disk, and it will let me encrypt the partitions without having to install a system [17:33] grawity: i did try "//ip/dir /mnt/dir cifs auto,defaults 0 0" and with /path/creditials" and in the credentials i have username=Guest and domain=ip and neither one worked.. [17:33] gp5st: ok. I'll look it up at some point to learn more about it. [17:33] guntbert - Ill be sure to do that. Thanks for keeping tight on my backside to make sure I do. [17:33] VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [17:34] gp5st - see where Im confused now? [17:34] regulator1: I'm not sure about the Ubuntu disks. All I can offer is general advice on the process itself. [17:34] unique: If you don't specify "credentials=" in fstab, then the creds file is not checked [17:34] gp5st - jason:samba... 770 perms... user can write... user should fall under the category of "other users" [17:34] i tried without credentials and with credentials [17:35] grawity: 07 19 * * * mplayer -loop 0 /root/Music/navy.wav is my root crontab line. command works in terminal, i also have a killall mplayer command in cron taht works [17:35] tumii: Flash, video drivers, PDF readers have all been issues in the past under 64-bit. With evince, PDF reader may no longer be an issue. I think I've seen references to Flash for 32-bit but can't be sure. Sometimes the issues are handled by keeping a bunch of 32-bit libraries on the machine in addition to all the 64-bit stuff. I wanted a 64-bit only environment. [17:35] how can i browse for files on the network without mounting the shares first? [17:35] roasted: yeah, one would think [17:35] regulator1: Make sure you create a working backup. Ideally you would make sure you can boot the backup before proceeding. Do you think you can do that somehow? [17:35] hello. i did a bad thing and can't find how to fix it. i was dual-booting ubuntu/windows and wanted to remove ubuntu from the system. so i booted from the livecd, ran gparted. removed the linux partitions, grew the NTFS partition and rebooted. now the system doesn't boot. it gives a grub text error. heeeelp. :< [17:35] kwyjibo - just do a repair on windows [17:35] Good day :) im trying to execute a *.i386 file (Urban Terror to be specific), apparently i have to right click it, go to properties and check the "Is executable" box. I have already checked it but when i click the file it keeps prompting me to choose a program to open it. Would you help me please? [17:35] Azeotrope: cron runs in background, as a daemon. It does not have access to your Xserver, and probably cannot play audio either (no access to pulseaudio) [17:36] kwyjibo: do you no longer want to use ubuntu? Just windows? [17:36] on this machine yes. [17:36] kwyjibo: ask in ##windows how to fix the windows mbr from a windows install cd disk [17:36] kwyjibo - grub overwrites the windows boot loader so windows + l inux have the ability to boot. It essentially "crashes" the boot loader. Do a repair on windows and itll re-add the windows boot loader, allowing windows to boot [17:36] can any one help me find a vga driver for this please VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [17:36] which one of gcj and gij has JRE plugin for browsers ...

[17:38] but if i leave ubuntu and boot with windows then i get 11MB/s from system to system [17:38] kwyjibo: are you on the live CD now? [17:38] mka: yes [17:38] xaevo - you have to install samba, and edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to add a share within the config file. The "path" of the share would be to /var/www/whatever/your/share/is [17:38] kensanata: I can use clonezilla to image the system just in case I ruin it. I don't think that this type of backup is suitable for restoring my old system onto the new partitions because it will write back the nonencrypted image [17:38] is there something i need to ajust in my ubuntu network settings? [17:38] kwyjibo: you can resize your windows to create a small partition [17:38] noren: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) <<<< intel [17:39] Roasted, i have samba installed, i can just link to the folder? thanks!

[17:39] erUSUL : can you help me to get a resolution above 800x600 ?? [17:39] kwyjibo: and then put /boot/grub files into it [17:39] erUSUL, are there any specific driver to be found for that ? [17:39] xaevo - more or less, yeah. You have to add users through terminal as well as samba users. Then edit the smb.conf so samba knows what path is the samba folder. [17:39] kwyjibo: and make those files boot windows [17:39] mka: how do i put boot/grub files on it [17:39] ok [17:40] I'm using ubuntu 9.10, and have just installed amarok 1.4 as explained in http://www.dwasifar.com/?p=849 [17:40] xaevo - like on my system, samba points to /media/storage, so thats my path. With yours itll be whatever your path is. [17:40] kwyjibo: I can show you later [17:40] grawity thx [17:40] kwyjibo: you simply copy the ones of the live CD [17:40] kensanata: If I backup using a file-based backup program, will it be able to overwrite the running OS and replace it? [17:40] Is it possible to print through wine? [17:40] roasted: how did you make "user" [17:40] kwyjibo: and do a grub-install afterwards [17:40] during the install, I've noticed that one of the suggested packages is amarok14-engines, but it doesn't exist, is that a problem? [17:40] roasted: you said this was a mac os issue? [17:40] hi everybody [17:40] kwyjibo: and then modify the menu.lst [17:41] gp5st - no, this is between windows/samba/and my linux box [17:41] I am executing an upgrade to Karmik and I am stuck [17:41] wad up computer nerds [17:41] gp5st - in order for samba to work, you must have a local user on that server, as well as a "asmba" user [17:41] sounds fimilliar [17:41] gp5st - so when I log in from an XP computer as "user", its as if Im logged in to my linux box as user. If I write files, theyre owned by me, etc [17:42] vendik: get to the point [17:42] Good day :) im trying to execute a *.i386 file (Urban Terror to be specific), apparently i have to right click it, go to properties and check the "Is executable" box. I have already checked it but when i click the file it keeps prompting me to choose a program to open it. Would you help me please? [17:42] sigh... sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full <-- to set eth0 duplex to 10baseT FD right? [17:42] gp5st - So I was messing around with permissions. If I restrict my samba share to not allow "user" to write, hed get access denied. Well, he didnt... He was able to write. [17:42] anybody know how to get some nice audio settings === velcroshooz_ is now known as velcroshooz [17:42] hey guys, im currently running ubuntu 9.04.. id like to upgrade to linux mint 8 (based on 9.10) without a complete loss of data.

[17:43] yea [17:43] mka connection timeout [17:43] invitingdopeman, I am not sure what you mean exactly :) [17:43] !mint | Buds [17:43] Buds: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [17:43] vendik: that sounds like a network problem [17:43] linuxmint support is a joke [17:43] Buds - youll have to format it and put Mint on. The only way to install a new operating system without losing data is if you organize your partitions with root/home on different partitions. That way you could format ubuntu, install mint, and your home directory would be perfectly fine. [17:44] ok so im looking for a driver for VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter that will let me have above 800x600 resolution i had it before and id like it again please [17:44] !samba [17:44] thank you, roasted. [17:44] extened audio settings [17:44] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [17:44] roasted: so this is over the network? [17:44] buds - I hear ya man, and mint being ubuntu based is pretty much on the same lines anyway [17:44] Is there any way I find out whether I am running a 64 or 32 bit version of Ubuntu? [17:44] which is why i came here =P [17:44] diddy: uname -m [17:44] buds - look into splitting your partitions that way. I use 20gb for Root and the remainder for Home. [17:44] vendik: maybe the server is down, did you try alternate repositories like medibuntu? [17:44] roasted: are the user ids and group id's the same on both machines? [17:44] ShockF, mm let me see if i can find the deb package for the SIS dirver [17:44] a different type of sound settings [17:44] buds - that way I can format root, install whatever linux OS I want, and I leave home alone (meaning I DONT format it) [17:44] coz_ : thanks alot [17:45] Guys, i have a doubt. How can I do a SCANDISK in my windows partition? ( ps: But, i would like to do it just in my LINUX.) [17:45] you have your home on a completely different parition? [17:45] yes but pinging the site or trying wget I still get connection timeout while I can navigate through the web [17:45] gp5st - both machines? Theres only 1 linux box here... *shrug* [17:45] buds - yes, I have a 500gb drive. 20gb root, and 400 something gb as home [17:45] skeletal: if it's FAT32, fsck.vfat /dev/sdXY (where sdXY is the Windows partition) [17:45] jrib, thx [17:45] skeletal: If it's NTFS - fsck.ntfs-3g [17:45] how can i sudo sound settings [17:45] buds - that way I have the ACTUAL linux install on root, and ALL of my personal data, settings, music, documents, etc on home [17:46] buds - that way I can nuke my root partition, leave home intact, an d still have all of my data [17:46] ShockF, you also might want to read this while I search http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsispart1.shtml [17:46] Oh, great I will go try it. Thanks. [17:46] buds - its just very important when you go a manual editing of the partitions in the installation menu while installing linux that you "mount" your home partition as HOME, but DO NOT format it. [17:46] grawity: does a fsck of FAT32 and NTFS work on linux? [17:46] buds - so when you're about to hit install, make sure Root is mounted as / and is checked to format, and home is mounted as home and not checked to format. [17:47] roasted: oh, you said it was a samba share [17:47] Does anyone know a good channel to ask questions about logical fallacies? [17:47] buds - its pretty easy when you get the logic behind it, but just make sure you dont have that checkbox next to home to format it :P [17:47] gp5st - it is, but the other machine is a windows box. [17:47] roasted - interesting, and i should be able to mount home in a partition manager without data loss? [17:47] gp5st - I dont believe windows deals with all of that [17:47] vendik: then the server is down [17:47] mka: for FAT (all versions), fsck.vfat (aka dosfsck) from dosfstools is quite old, and quite reliable. [17:47] buds - the thing is, if you mount it as home during the partitioning when you install a linux OS, home will automatically mount each time you boot up without you even rea lizing it. [17:48] Is it possible to print through wine? [17:48] mka :( [17:48] mka: For NTFS - ntfs-3g tools (ntfsprogs package) are very good too, now. [17:48] and I cannot complete the upgrade [17:48] how do I switch from Windows Vista to Ubuntu? I think that it will speed up everything for the people who use the computer. Any websites? [17:48] roasted - would i be better off upgrading to 9.10 and then installing the mint config files from the mint repository, lol. [17:48] grawity: can you then defragment FAT32 in linux? [17:48] ShawnRisk: do you want to dual boot or just ubuntu? [17:49] buds - more or less, if you mount "home" as home during the linux installer, you wont notice a difference from before. root/home on the SAME partition and root/home on DIFFERENT partitions, you wont notice a difference. Its just a matter of convenience so if you nuke a linux install, your personal stuff isnt gone. [17:49] mka: *shrug* Never had to. [17:49] buds - Well, I know mint is ubuntu based, but I'm not sure how that plays out with crossing over like that. If it were me, I'd consider this a good time to re-vamp your hard drive. [17:49] jrib: I want to get rid of Windows Vista and move to Ubuntu. The reason being Windows Vista is making the computer unusable. [17:49] buds - meaning I'd back up all of your data on external hard drives [17:49] mka: I try to use FAT as rarely as possible... even my pendrive is NTFS. [17:49] ShawnRisk: ubuntu.com, download a .iso, burn it, put it in the disk, reboot and follow directions :) [17:49] How do I turn on/off bluetooth by bash script? [17:49] buds - then nuke your entire hard drive, just format it. And set up your partitions like I said, with say 20gb root, and the remainder as home. [17:50] grawity: I understand [17:50] jrib: how do I save a few files, like documents? [17:50] buds - THEN install linux mint from a clean install, mount root to /, and home to home, and afterwards bring your data back to the drive. [17:50] ShawnRisk: you should back them up somewhere (even if you aren't installing ubuntu) [17:50] Is it possible to print through wine? [17:50] ShockF, this is all I could find...the deb package links all seem to be dead http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsisvga.shtml [17:50] buds - its a beeyotch to set up since you have to format the drive, but with a new version of linux coming out every 6 months, its VERY convenient to just blam - nuke root, install newer version, oh hey look my 360gb of data is still here! That's niiiiiice :P [17:50] Thunder_Drop: try #winehq [17:51] jrib: create another drive and put them on there? Or is there another way? [17:51] ShawnRisk: use a flash drive or something [17:51] Hi. I have done configuration in ubuntu, now I'll try to play the kernel and I am afraid there is a fatal damage on my ubuntu, and I want to make or make my ubuntu can run on flash disk. and if the run on the flash disk with exactly the results I have ubuntu this modification. ada yang tau will step? [17:51] jrib: wish I had one [17:51] I want to install htop and fslint on jaunty by I am not getting them [17:51] coz_ : ok ermm is there anything i can do? [17:51] ShawnRisk: burn it to a disk? [17:51] jrib: put them on another computer by network? [17:51] roasted - yes thats very true, seems like a pain in the initial setup like most things, but probably worth it in the long run. [17:51] ShawnRisk: use the cloud? Sure that works too. [17:51] Hi. I have done configuration in ubuntu, now I'll try to play the kernel and I am afraid there is a fatal damage on my ubuntu, and I want to make or make my ubuntu can run on flash disk. and if the run on the flash disk with exactly the results I have ubuntu this modification. have anybody know that step by step ? [17:52] Guys - is there a command I can run in terminal to see WHAT groups are on my system and what GID's are assigned to them? [17:52] ShockF, that page has a download area and there may be a deb package listed there [17:52] buds - yeah man, wanna hear something else interesting with advanced partitioning? [17:52] :( [17:52] ok, made a post on the forum about my problem ^_^ [17:52] ok thanks [17:52] ShawnRisk: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/index.html if you want something to read, but it's very easy to just follow the screen's instructions [17:52] can I post the link here? [17:52] roasted:so you're testing this with the user user. not from the windows machine? [17:52] roasted: so you're logged in as user and copying files to the share [17:52] ShockF, or compile it according to their intructions but other than that I am not sure ...you could also try the ##linux channel to see if they have other alternatives [17:52] grawity: Man, i have installed here the ntfs-3g tools, right? But, what i need for do my scan in windows? [17:53] buds - I've been an ubuntu user for a long time. So my partitioning on my drive was Vista/Ubuntu Root/Home. Well, I REALLY wanted to try out KDE land with Kubuntu, but I didnt want to nuke Ubuntu. SO, I downsized my home partition by 20gb, so I had Vista/Ubuntu Root/Home/20gb Unallocated. [17:53] coz_ : ok thanks [17:53] Pascat: go ahead [17:53] Buds - then I installed Kubuntu on the other 20gb unallocated. Within Kubuntu, I mounted my home directory there. [17:53] jrib: thanks [17:53] Pascat: better tell us the problem *here* - in 1 line if possible [17:53] ShockF, if you do find the deb pacakge ...let me know [17:53] ShawnRisk: no problem [17:53] There are many problems that are related to my installation of ubuntu >.< [17:53] Buds - what's that mean? If I boot to Ubuntu, my home directory is linked. If I boot to Kubuntu, my home directory is linked. Two differently installed operating systems that work independently, but share the same personal data. [17:53] roasted - why not just install the WM on the existing ubuntu [17:53] im noob [17:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8408190#post8408190 [17:54] coz_ : i will do [17:54] where ii found the fsck-ntfs3g guys????? [17:54] Buds - I thought about that, but I didnt want to change nuking my Ubuntu install because I have it set up as a file server so I like my uptime to be optimal. I installed Ubuntu + KDE WM on a spare PC I have here and it didnt go well. === usser__ is now known as usser [17:54] Buds = after further usage tho, I think something is wrong with that spare rig in general, though.

I have samba set to simply allow/deny access to shares. From there, its the linux permissions on the folders that allow users to write, read, execute, etc [17:57] ShawnRisk: that's fine [17:57] My firefox keeps freezing my computer. I think it may be flash or something. What should I do. Most times i have to power off my computer and reboot when this happens. Can someone help? [17:57] jrib: i that really slow? [17:57] is* [17:57] roasted: are you sure about that? [17:57] buds - That's what I would do. I use 20gb for root, which is kind of big. I think Im using up 6 gig of space on my root partition, and I have every program installed known to man. [17:57] buds - But I like to be generous, so I stick with 20gb [17:58] ShawnRisk: i386 if you want to use 32bit and amd64 if you want to use 64bit. How much ram do you have? [17:58] buds - so if it were ME, I'd set up 20gb root, and the remainder as home [17:58] buds - its also a good idea to add swap in there [17:58] roasted - yea im working this out on a macbook pro so i might lessen it a bit [17:58] buds - 1gb swap/20gb root/400gb home, or whatever [17:58] Pascat: as you were told earlier here, it is better you state your problem here so that anyone who knows your problem helps you [17:58] gp5st - Yeah, when I change group permissions on my linux box, that's when things change. [17:58] sooooooooooooooo [17:58] you double boot? [17:58] roasted - should i try to work out these partitions from a boot disk or is it safe to do it from here [17:58] gp5st - that leaves me to believe its a permissions issue, not a smaba issue [17:58] roasted: that's what makes me curious, maybe the samba user/proc is writing the files [17:59] buds - from here? what does from here mean... are you on ubuntu on the macbook? [17:59] I have had a weird issue, maybe someone has some ideas. Sometimes when I boot up my 9.10 I have a constant load average of 1-4 when normally I get about 0.05 right after boot up. When it happens it persists until I reboot and it is happening more and more frequently. Also the system is constantly extremely slow of course. I have been running top, htop and iotop to try to see what might be running to consume my resources but can't seem to s [17:59] jrib: it is almost 3 years old but 512 MB [17:59] roasted: hence why you can't write if samba doesn't have access [17:59] 1.80 ghz [17:59] roasted - yes 9.04 on a macbook pro [17:59] gp5st - Well, Im checking the GID now of the group, because I had this setup on Ubuntu and I installed Kubuntu next to Ubuntu and tried to mimic my setup. [17:59] gp5st - so after you mentioned GID's Im wondering if thats the issue [17:59] Pascat: Anyway I couldnt understand your stuff. but if I was to suggest quick measures, disable password lockout with screensavers, disable compiz as well [17:59] ShawnRisk: should be ok [17:59] gp5st - so Im creating a "samba2" group with a different GID to see if that group acts like ti should. [18:00] ShawnRisk: you probably want to use i386 [18:00] buds - you cant edit partitions when you currently are using them, so youll have to do it from the livecd. You can do it from the actual installer CD to o. [18:00] buds - just make sure, back your stuff up prior to doing this - formatting crashes everythinggggggggggggg [18:00] I have to sleep good people, cheers!! [18:00] roasted: i just thought maybe the other box was sending differn't uid/gid, but samba should deal with that well i thought? idk [18:00] buds - as well as make sure in the future if you reinstall a newer linux OS to "mount and format root" and "mount BUT DO NOT format home" [18:01] i'm looking for a new phone, but i need it to be able to sync properly with ubuntu (preferably nokia phone, or a linux based one), any suggestions? [18:01] does anyone know how to fix firefox freezes [18:01] I don't want to disable password lockout with screensaver. :/ I don't want to give my sister access to my desktop :/ [18:01] roasted - yea def, im acctuallly thinking about trying the upgrade to 9.10 then try to work with the mint files from repository, if that does fail ill just nuke it and start out with your method. [18:01] Buds - there ya go, that sounds fair enough [18:02] Buds - regardless backing up your files never hurts. I have 4 hard drives in my desktop that do backups twice a day! [18:02] roasted - my desktop just rocks 1 TB and a 500g =P [18:02] how do u autoback up yHD? [18:02] i have a 1.5 T [18:02] :D [18:02] buds - Im about to upgrade to TB drives [18:02] for 100$ [18:02] sumodumo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:02] buds - Im currently running 500/500/250/250 [18:02] buds - 250gb drives are for network storage (backups of the other pcs in the house, light duty users) [18:02] roasted - prices have dropped dramaticly with TB HDs, def worth it now. [18:03] and the 500s are for me, 1 to use vista/linux on, the other to back up my home dir [18:03] buds - Yeah, tell me about it. Its hard to justify tho cause I buy them in pairs. [18:03] so even a cheap TB drive means ouchie to the pocket since I buy x2 [18:03] coz_ : xf86-video-sis it should be in the repo and have to use apt-get to find it ive no idea how though :P [18:03] mystery1234: Does turning of desktop effects alleviate the Firefox freezing problem? [18:04] roasted - yea, so im just looking through synaptic right now, i acctually see the gnome mint menu and update manager in the 9.04 repositorys. Probably a good sign considering the menu is all i really want =P [18:04] buds - well there ya go then, sounds like a plan [18:05] how do I remove an app from applications -> internet -> app ? [18:05] roasted - gunna get started ill let you know if i end up raping my menus [18:05] lol [18:05] sounds good, good luck! [18:05] axisys_: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu [18:06] jrib: sweet! thanks [18:06] Triskelios: how to make firefox to use installed icedtea plugin ? [18:06] arg, so i made the disk fat32 and used the usb-creator program and it doesn't even recognize the disk at all, it just asks if i want to format it [18:07] need help with python, is there any python channel? [18:07] #python [18:07] or the like? [18:07] zedkappa: that would be it, you need to register your nick to get in [18:07] ok thanks! [18:08] I'm hearing only garbled, static sounding sound from my laptop. I hear system beeps ok, but no other sound. Any suggestions on how to test? [18:08] gp5st, that's why it's asking , you need to format it to ntfs to make it work [18:08] I tried cat blah > /dev/audio and it produced output, can I cat a wav file to /dev/audio? [18:08] how to make firefox to use installed icedtea plugin ? [18:08] blues: it's fat32! [18:08] chmac, you can cat a wave to /dev/audio [18:08] but you won't hear anything acceptable [18:09] git__: lol [18:09] blues: idk, hold on [18:09] everytime i click google earth i get this notice as a pop message .. http://pastebin.com/d74ebed89 [18:09] git__: I was about to download a wav after your first message :-) [18:09] any idea how to fix it ? [18:09] git__: Do you know if there's anything I can cat straight to /dev/audio that will sound intelligble? [18:09] ok this is driving me nuts. can nobody here help me? I'm using mii-tool to force eth0 duplex to 10baseT-FD and getting at least a stable connection but still no success. ethtool won't do this. why not? [18:09] I would like some hint how to set up a backup sync _from_ my windowsmachine _to_ my ubuntu machine using wireless network. [18:09] alabd: bottom right corner of firefox should let you select the plugin it uses, or "touch" the files for the plugin, or uninstall the other plugins, or use « update-java-alternatives » on the command line [18:10] Nalleman, that will take forever is you are planning to do full backups [18:10] Nalleman: dropbox? [18:10] B3rz3rk3r, plan is to only sync the backup with rsync or similar [18:11] fcuk112, how does it work? [18:11] Nalleman: Why don't you just start with rsync? [18:11] Nalleman: it synchs a folder across machines and is cross platform. [18:11] Nalleman: 2GB of storage is free. [18:12] kensanata, I dont know how to set it up. please help me if you know how. [18:12] Nalleman: If possible I'd mount the Windows drive via a local (cable) network first just to save on transfer time. [18:12] am I going to have to request help a 4th time? [18:12] Is libdvdcss2 not available yet? [18:12] !patience | n00p [18:12] n00p: 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. [18:12] fcuk112, its a goddamn overkill for a backup, backing over the internet when the machines are in the same room [18:12] Nalleman: Which part? Here are the rsync commands I used to backup parts of my Mac OSX systems. http://www.emacswiki.org/alex/Backup [18:12] kensanata, yes. that is a minor problem. the problem is to mount the remote folder in my file system [18:12] ubottu, fair enough, but I've been here for 40 minutes, googling and trying different things. [18:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:13] jrib: how do I save firefox forms before I switch to ubuntu? I have a few numbers saved but I don't want to lose them [18:13] err, guntbert [18:13] ShawnRisk: I don't know. There used to be a migration app that ran during install but I am not sure if that is still true [18:13] "sudo dir -R /sys" there's a bunch of files that's ignored. likewise, when i "search for files" in the GNOME desktop /sys/, there's a bunch of files it wont find (problem likely related), so only way to find all files is to browse them manually.. any1 know how to fix? [18:13] jrib: ok [18:13] Nalleman: use this link for extra 250MB space. [18:14] Hans_Henrik: why are you using dir? [18:14] Nalleman: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE3MjA2Mjk [18:14] Hans_Henrik: what do you want to accomplish? [18:14] n00p: did you try to ask in ##networking yet? [18:14] ShawnRisk: You can just copy your whole firefox profile in Windows, and paste it into the Ubuntu one later if you want to. [18:14] usser: it works fine for me, easy to setup imo. [18:15] usser: and it's very quick and instant. [18:15] khensthoth: would that save all the banking numbers that I filled out? [18:15] fcuk112, thanks. [18:15] fcuk112, i have a dsl :) thats why im pissed [18:15] hi I'm new here " can anyone tell me how to run windows games on ubuntu I have a Interl GMA 4500 " ? plz [18:15] ShawnRisk: Most likely. [18:15] !wine | venom [18:15] khensthoth: okay [18:15] venom: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [18:15] Is this the right place for asking questions on performance issues, or is there a better channel for that? [18:15] !appdb > venom [18:15] venom, please see my private message [18:16] hi all! Where do I need to put startup script to be run as root? [18:16] is this a only hardware support channel? [18:16] usser: not sure what u mean, isn't dsl supposed to be quick? [18:16] mars_: no [18:16] ShawnRisk: Refer http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles for the location of your profiles in Windows and Ubuntu [18:16] mars_: it's support for ubuntu [18:16] i have it but when I run a game with it ( POP 2008 ) I hear the sound but with a Black screen [18:16] guys really weird permissions issue here. I created 3 groups. Same members in all 3 groups, samba5, samba7, samba8. The number at the end if the GID they have - 1005, 1007, 1008, etc. 1007 REQUIRES root priviledges for me to change, yet all 3 are IDENTICAL. What gives? [18:16] khensthoth: looking [18:17] hi everyone [18:17] I'm using ubuntu 9.10, and have just installed amarok 1.4 as explained in http://www.dwasifar.com/?p=849 [18:17] !autocopy @ FANDER [18:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:17] during the install, I've noticed that one of the suggested packages is amarok14-engines, but it doesn't exist, is that a problem? [18:17] patricidio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:17] Hans_Henrik: tried "select more options"->"show hidden and backup files"? [18:17] thanks [18:17] !autocopy [18:17] Roasted: change what? Show us a pastebin of the commands you are running, and what you expected differently [18:17] fcuk112, 2 gb [18:17] guys what's the extension for autocopy? [18:17] hey jrib, how can i talk addressing to you, like you just did? [18:17] FANDER: what IS autocopy? [18:17] emmmm... need some help, who have an experiance on Vodafone HSDPA / 3G / GPRS .. how to setting at ubuntu-linux.. pls pm me okey.. tq :( [18:18] i think i need a new usb reader? [18:18] mars_: you just put my nick in the front of what you say :) [18:18] !tab | mars_ [18:18] Nalleman: not enough? [18:18] mars_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:18] jrib - Im not running commands. Im setting the group assignments in the GUI. It just errors out and says I dont have sufficient priviledges. When I went to terminal, I can run chgrp samba5 test, chgrp samba8 test, but I NEED to run sudo with chgrp samba7 test. Theres something about that GID, 1007, thats being stupid [18:18] usb sd reader i mean [18:18] LjL: when you select text, it copies it automatically [18:18] yes. but no 250 mb extra, but its cool [18:18] Roasted: what do you want to accomplish? [18:19] Nalleman: eh, did you use the link i gave you? strange. [18:19] FANDER: uh, and what do you mean by the extension for it? [18:19] plz anyone ?! [18:19] jrib - Well, I have 3 groups, all identical. And 1 requires root to change. I want to know why that one group requires root when theyre all identical. [18:19] jrib, perfect, ty. u guys ar so helpful and patient! [18:19] LjL: (06:22:17 PM) coz_: FANDER, that is an extension which allow you to select text and it's automatically copied to the clipboard [18:19] Roasted: ... change *what*? [18:19] jrib - when I assign that group to a folder. [18:19] fcuk112, probably you get 250 extra ? :) [18:19] fcuk112, slow as hell here [18:19] Roasted: you always need to be root to change group ownership [18:19] jrib - I need root priviledges to assign samba7 to a folder, yet I can assign samba 5 and 8 to it just fine [18:19] Nalleman: haha no it should be both of us :) [18:19] jrib - no, you dont, not if you own the folder in question - which I do [18:20] jrib - this is all the same folder too btw [18:20] Roasted: show me in your pastebin [18:20] jrib - same folder, 3 groups, 2 work, 1 needs root, yet theyre identical [18:20] pastebin of what [18:20] i will try it out anyway [18:20] usser: it depends what you're synching i guess, if you're synching 700mb movies i would expect it to take a while. [18:20] thanks [18:20] hi there, can i safely test if my monitor cud support higher ressolution Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) but i am only getting 1024 X 764 ressolution [18:20] Roasted: show me you changing the group of a folder to samba5 without using sudo and then trying the same thing with samba7 [18:21] jrib - hold that thought... [18:21] I just got the error... [18:21] for all of them... wow... [18:21] POP 2008 run with black screen ?! [18:21] khensthoth: thanks [18:22] so Prototype [18:22] Roasted: though you are right you don't need root to change group owner, I thought you did [18:22] jrib - if you need to be root to change group ownership, EVEN if you own the directory, why, oh why, does nautilus and dolphin both have the option for it in the gui [18:22] ShawnRisk: No problem. [18:23] jrib -okay wow, yeah all 3 are erroring out on me now [18:23] Roasted: pastebin [18:23] jrib - I changed the group in the gui though... and it was only one that errored out.... [18:23] sorry got dc so i m asking again [18:23] k one second [18:23] hi there, can i safely test if my monitor cud support higher ressolution Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) but i am only getting 1024 X 764 ressolution [18:23] roasted: you only need to be root if you're not in that group, i think [18:23] gp5st - thats what I thought. What hte hell is happening with permissions on my system. [18:23] this is driving me insane [18:24] samba is acting weird, users can write to places they shouldnt be allowed [18:24] I cant perform simple actions without root when I KNOW I dont need root for this [18:24] this all doesnt make sense... [18:24] !xrandr [18:24] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [18:24] Roasted, did you add yourself to all those groups? did you logout/login after you added yourself? [18:24] usser - lol.... [18:24] usser - YES, I added myself, NO I did not log out. [18:24] man I suck [18:24] be right back [18:24] Roasted, eh you should :) [18:24] thanks anyway [18:25] usser: good catch -- didn't know that about changing groups [18:25] jrib, hehe :) [18:25] git__: Turns out there's a bug to do with muting and unmuting pcm mixer, causes static until I change the volume after unmuting [18:25] is there and ideal centralized system for packagemanagement for servers that you can run in your own network ? [18:26] Glad to have found an easy fix :-) [18:26] jrib: one last question: is moving to ubuntu going to make the computer faster? [18:26] s/and/an [18:26] hi.. does anybody here can help me? i have installed lubuntu desktop on top of ubuntu, and i have wicd error so i can't connect to internet by lan or wireless. thank you [18:26] ShawnRisk: Faster than what? [18:26] ShawnRisk: ubuntu is definitely going to be lighter than vista. If you find gnome too slow, you can try xfce or something like fluxbox or openbox [18:26] jrib: I can't use kde? I like that better [18:27] Ew, Vista [18:27] jrib, usser - bingo. logging out did it [18:27] ShawnRisk: Oh, I would say definitely [18:27] ardchoille: in terms of performance [18:27] I hate vista [18:27] usser - question though, if Im setting up groups on a major production linux server, if I log out/back in, it doesnt mess up any processes or connections that people may have to the server at that time does it? [18:27] ShawnRisk: kde will probably be about as resource hungry as gnome. You can install kde after installing ubuntu by installing the "kubuntu-desktop" package, but if you haven't burned a disk yet, you may want to grab the Kubuntu iso that sets up kde by default [18:28] !list [18:28] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:28] gadget3000, there's no need to diss other OSs , we don't care [18:28] jrib, shawnrisk - I have ubuntu 9.04 and kubuntu 9.04 dual booting on the same computer. I did a memory test from fresh boot and compared them [18:28] FANDER: that clipboard dump on highlight is part of X11 [18:28] jrib, shawnrisk - Gnome/Ubuntu, fresh boot no startup applications running was using 382mb of RAM, whereas KDE/Kubuntu, same scenario, was running 274mb of RAM. Surprisingly, KDE is indeed a bit slimmer than Gnome. [18:28] never woulda thought that [18:28] is there a command that will show me the model of my dvd drive? [18:28] FANDER: it isn't an 'extension' [18:29] What else than sound-juicer can I use to rip audio cds to mp3? [18:29] qwd: maybe lshw [18:29] dang3rou5: System -> Preferences -> Display [18:29] Roasted: which one is faster? [18:29] shawnrisk - theyre both equally fast, in my opinion [18:29] Every time I install ubuntu karmic the sound works out of the box and then suddenly stops. i can't figure out what is causing this, or how to fix it. Can anybody help? I don't even know where to start. [18:29] shawnrisk - I simply prefer KDE land though based on preference, so I stick with kubuntu. [18:29] I should also mention that i've never had sound issues on this hardware with past versions [18:29] sudo kextcache . . . . [18:29] bkw: 1. opne synaptics 2. type in search field "cd rip" 3. ???? [18:29] archive would be too large; aborting [18:29] agent42, i meant how can i do it frm console [18:29] blz - I hate to say it, qutie a few issues arose with karmic [18:29] blz: mine stopped once, came back when I rebooted [18:29] ShawnRisk: Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961, minimal desktop so that you can add only what you want [18:30] blz - I karmic wont see all 4 of my hard drives properly, so Im skipping that release :( [18:30] "archive would be too large; aborting" - anyone know what the problem is? can't get the command to run & pretty sure I can't reboot now.... [18:30] Roasted, on a production server, no users should be logged in period [18:30] Roasted: is GNOME or KDE easier for someone who is using this for the first time? Not me but someone else [18:30] Roasted: Damn. that's a pretty big issue [18:30] usser - I mean CONNECTED to it. [18:30] dang3rou5: sorry, I don't know [18:30] it works perfectly except for this sound bug [18:30] roasted - 9.10 upgrade (2 hours remaining) lol [18:30] jrib: thanks, that worked! turns out I did choose the best one :) [18:30] usser - what if the server is a samba server and users are working on it and I have to add groups and stuff. [18:30] Roasted, you had problems only because you were sitting in front of the server testing stuff. [18:30] usser - then log out/back in to activate the changes. Those samba users dont see a diff? [18:31] usser - but still, this scenario can be applied to a production server. [18:31] from du - "257M/System/Library/Extensions" - the directory is 257MB... is that too big?? [18:31] Roasted, so you go ahead and do that, next time those users login they will get the new changes [18:31] Under sound prefs > hardware, I see no hardware [18:31] usser - ah okay, I just wanted to make sure logging out/back in wouldn't ruin anybody elses current connection. [18:31] hi.. does anybody here can help me? i have installed lubuntu desktop on top of ubuntu, and i have wicd error so i can't connect to internet by lan or wireless. [18:31] buds - ha, yeah man. Takes a while to do upgrades :P [18:31] Samba does my head in, it won't let me access my Windows shares, but lets Windows see Ubuntu's [18:31] buds - thats another reason I stay away from them [18:31] bradpitt: this isn't #ubuntu === jab is now known as Guest31819 [18:32] Same with input... output says "dummy output" [18:32] yes it is? [18:32] Norrin: it's not? [18:32] rly? [18:32] thanks [18:32] Norrin, could have fooled me [18:32] Roasted, but regardless any/most changes on a server would require root so. And the fact that one user of the system, say it was root, logged in/logged out shouldn interrupt anyones workflow. If it did, that would "some awesome multiuser" OS [18:33] lmao [18:33] Norrin : ha..ha [18:33] <- epic fail [18:33] lol [18:33] =) [18:33] usser - good point, but hey - figured I'd ask NOW while I'm playing iwth a test server instead of later when it counts :P [18:34] Roasted, no its definetely a valid point [18:35] Roasted, also might want to change the gid sticky bit on that directory that you're sharing, because by default all new files created by samba users will get username:username ownership, whereas you want username:sambagroup ownership === mira is now known as Guest32550 [18:35] usser - the gid sticky? [18:35] usser - im in kde now and I see in dolphin it has that option, but I dont know what it means === Guest42298 is now known as NiSoOo [18:36] so is there an easy way to see what channel an access point I am joining is on? [18:36] Has anybody else experienced sound issues in Karmic? [18:36] blz, define 'sound issues'? [18:36] how do i install the dev packages on ubuntu? (are they included in the ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ?) [18:37] Freeaqingme: sound suddenly stops working despite never having a problem on earlier versions of ubuntu [18:37] Roasted, it basically means preserve group ownership, ie say directory is owned by username:priviliged. now every linux has a primary group for any given user, on ubuntu primary group is the same as the username. by default all the files that the user creates are owned by user and his primary group [18:37] yeah i should have specified =) [18:37] so u guys dont like the new 9.1??????? [18:38] Roasted, gid allows you to preserve the group ownership of any given directory [18:38] sumodumo: i like it except my sound suddenly broke =( [18:38] usser - oh okay, so if the setgid option is set, it forces the group on all files/folders created in there? [18:38] Roasted, exactly. [18:38] blz: what happend?! [18:38] can someone please help me with nvidia driver install. the last few times ubuntu would kick the graphics into "low graphics mode" [18:38] usser - but, does it preserve permissions? For example, if I have 775 perms, group has full control, others do not. If a user is in the others category, would he inherit the 7 perms from the group? [18:39] Folks, I just installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 and I am watching a movie on video.google.com. However, the play/stop button or any other button does not respond to my clicks. [18:39] usser - I just want to make sure if I stick the group to it t hat thats ALL that sticks. I dont want to be giving "others" anymore access than the octal r ights I have assigned (in the example, it would be 5 perms = r-x) [18:39] sumodumo: excellent question. I have no idea. My sound hardware has always played nice with ubuntu, but its seems as if there's some sort of regression. It worked at first and then mysteriously... no sound. I can't figure out what caused it [18:39] Roasted, if the other user is a member of the group [18:39] he will get the 7 rights [18:39] Roasted, no perm are permissions they dont change just like that, you have to explicitly chmod it [18:40] usser, timothy - okay I understand [18:40] usser - whats the thing for sticky th o? In dolphin I have an option for setgid AND sticky? how ar ethey different? [18:40] blz: hmmmmmm i dunno then. i just installed ubuntu like 1 week ago. and i love it [18:40] How can I enable my dual screen? The other one is on my integrated GF8200 and the other one works good on a separate 8800 GTS. What should I do on nvidia settings? Both screens are detected, but I cant use the 2nd one [18:40] what is the best ressolution that i can get with inter chip display controller i got [18:40] sumodumo: I like it a lot too... except for this [18:40] Roasted, there's uid sticky bit, it does something else, i forgot what [18:40] any ideas? in netboox remix, installing: " can't mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" [18:40] Roasted, you need gid one [18:41] Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) but i am only getting 1024 X 764 ressolution [18:41] usser - so to keep the group for all files/folders, just setgid, and leave sticky alone? [18:41] hello [18:41] Roasted, and if its a test server i'd start using the command line :) [18:41] hallo [18:41] Roasted, yep [18:41] wie gehts? [18:41] can someone please help me with nvidia driver install??? the last few times ubuntu would kick the graphics into "low graphics mode" i have the commands to install just remember there being something i need todo before i can install it [18:41] tumii, i think your problem is that you have two 2 gfx cards [18:41] Roasted, better do it now than on a production server where all you have is command line [18:41] What is the problem with Flash in Firefox and Ubuntu 64bit? [18:41] does someone use ubuntu netbook remix ? I don't know how to manage gnome panel icon ... [18:41] usser - well, I already know how to use terminal a lot. I was previously using g+s with chmod to do this. === fridim_ is now known as Guest7827 [18:42] usser - Im just getting used to the KDE gui now and I have more options in the KDE gui than I had in GNome. [18:42] timothy__ but it does work with windows [18:42] usser - so Im just trying to figure out what commands I previously used in terminal apply to the settings I have in dolphin now. [18:42] Roasted, hm. thats debatable :) [18:42] why does it seem like evertime i enter this channel everyone has problems with ubuntu?????? [18:42] usser -Hey, my eyes dont lie. More options here in KDE land. Didnt have them in Gnome. :P [18:42] yeah it should work [18:42] sumodumo, because its a support channel if no one had problems the channel wouldnt be here [18:42] I hate vista with a huge head [18:42] have you tried with the standard gnome screen utility? [18:43] is there any landscape software that you can run in your own network and which is open source ? [18:43] sumodumo: it happens to me everytime i enter a hospital... everyone is sick [18:43] did you make sure the mirroring option is not selected? [18:43] any ideas? in netboox remix, installing: " can't mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" [18:43] MatBoy, no landscape is canonical proprietary tool, only available for money [18:43] erUSUL oh i see. i dnno. i just use the forums [18:43] usser: no alternative yet ?

[18:45] two different OSes [18:45] sara11: if you want to see them online install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:46] !debian | sumodumo [18:46] sumodumo: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related.

[18:46] tumii: the last few times i have tried to install the driver it puts ubuntu in low graphics mode, i remember someone here helped me once and they had me remove something before i started the install [18:46] MatBoy, yes thats true, but then again i can always run ssh `cat myclients` "dpkg -l | grep packagename" === dgr_Away is now known as dgr [18:46] reUSUL ok if i want to download it ? === kb is now known as Guest14902 [18:46] heater, I can't help you then, on me all drivers have worked like charm :/ [18:46] cgroza: ask in #debian [18:46] MatBoy, to see if a specific package is installed on my clients, my infrastructure is not that big so it works for me [18:46] I am switching over to Vista as soon as I copy over a few more files, and backup firefox.

"user" is not a member of samba, yet he can do whatever he wants in that folder. Write, delete, etc. [18:48] MatBoy, about 50 now with more coming up, i'll see how it scales. but i think i'll also be looking into something more suitable pretty soon :) [18:48] heater: You couldn't find the drivers from System -> Administration -> Drivers (or something similiar) [18:48] ?

[19:16] noren: Does Ubuntu even have a i386 kernel? Those CPUs are just too old, i thought. [19:16] noren: not sure dude, the installer picks the kernel you should use by default. i386 would remove a tonne of functionality from your CPU (i386 doesnt even have MMX) [19:16] ActionParsnip, is logic an application or the thing in our skull? ;) anyway, no.

[19:20] ActionParsnip, maybe that link is useful, let me take a look! :) [19:20] anybody here using empathy? how to search in conversation text? [19:20] armornick, http://pastebin.com/m6a72c822 [19:21] Il__Matteo: I think the Collate option may be provided by the standard printing functionality [19:21] Question - I'm having a problem with the GID of one of my groups. I have "Samba" with a GID of 1005. Jason:Samba owns /media/storage/test with 770 permissions. Even users not in the group can write to that directory. Yet if I apply "Samba1" with a GID of 1007 as the group, suddenly the permissions are working accordingly. WTF is wrong wtih Samba with GID of 1005? [19:21] ircuser: yes, so parentFolder ( not publicly viewable) -> childFolder... (assumed to be private due to parent folder) [19:22] I've been looking around on the net for instructions before I came here, but nothing seems to apply. [19:22] It works fine in my son's F10 box. He just plugged it in and it worked, no configuration needed. So, I know it's not the device. [19:22] I'm trying to get it to work on my Dell mini 10.

[19:24] !hi | aceruser [19:24] Question - I'm having a problem with the GID of one of my groups. I have "Samba" with a GID of 1005. Jason:Samba owns /media/storage/test with 770 permissions. Even users not in the group can write to that directory. Yet if I apply "Samba1" with a GID of 1007 as the group, suddenly the permissions are working accordingly. WTH (H for Heck) is wrong wtih Samba with GID of 1005? [19:24] aceruser: 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! [19:24] edited for kindergarten ruleset [19:24] Roasted: well swearing in the channel is against their rules [19:24] vik: I don't get everything in that error, but it seems like there's either something wrong with your kernel configuration or with the needed libraries [19:24] Hi. My dead keys have suddenly decided that they should be enabled by default, and I have to use Alt Gr to get the normal keys. Anyone know how to get the normal behaviour back, as itś highly irritating. [19:24] computa_mike, sorry, i don't find any "collate" similar options in italian [19:25] How would you use ffmpeg to convert a MKV to a MP4 without re-encoding the contents? [19:25] ive just installed 9.10 on my eee 1000H, and the 2-finger-scroll (and middle mouse klick) does not work. how do I fix this? [19:25] jadakren: so, you mean i need to symlink entire external hard disk (My Passport dir) available to my LAN friends? I want to share on FTP just Movies (/media/My Passport/Movies) and want it to be pointed by movies as in /srv/ftp/movies [19:25] I have a pc where the wireless lan works under windows7, now I installed ubuntu and when I click on the network icon in the status bar, no wireless connections are shown... [19:25] how can I fix this? [19:25] I want to connect to my wireless network [19:25] has anybody run into an installation issue where the HDD does not register when trying to boot from the disk? [19:25] aceruser: which wireless chip? [19:26] ConstantineXVI: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=548547 [19:26] ircuser: no what I am saying is that don't expect childFolder to be hidden to other users if you symlink it to a publicly available place on the main drive [19:26] ActionParsnip, that link is useful, but i have to change the ppd document and have no permissions on that folder. what is the command to have free access, plz? [19:26] !wifi | aceruser [19:26] aceruser: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:26] hi. is there a channel dedicated to gambas? [19:26] anybody have any verizon evdo experience? [19:26] ConstantineXVI, ffmpeg -i [19:26] Syniq: check your keyboard layout (system > preferences / admin > keyboard) [19:26] Zabbadahu: when you are in the live CD run: dmesg | less and read [19:26] c3l: I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I can tell you that it has to do with the trackpad driver. The default one doesn't support multitouch gestures, I don't know which one you might need to regain support. [19:26] ircuser: that is if you have parentFolder setup to be hidden or non-accessable due to permissions [19:27] jadakren: oh..i had gotten it all wrong then :-) .. no issues.. i want "movies" and inside to be fully visible [19:27] action parsnip i was just in ##linuxchannel and now i cant seem to find it again [19:27] Snausages, at least that leads me on the right direction. thanks =) [19:27] to do a clean install of karmic, is it (still) better to use the alt install CD? I just upgraded from jaunty, which crashed ~every day or two, and karmic froze within a couple of hours. [19:27] adam: find what?, use tab to complete my nick ;) [19:27] ircuser: this is what i meant by symlinked folders do not inherit their source parent folder permissions.... [19:27] BillHarris: doing a clean install of Karmic rather than an upgrade from jaunty is a good idea [19:28] BillHarris: after all many people got issues [19:28] +1 [19:28] BillHarris: both desktop and alternate are equally good, alternate installs in a text based system so is faster as you do not have to boot an X based system [19:28] om26er: @ me? [19:28] ActionParsnip : i was in a channel called ##linuxchannel i think and now i cant find it again [19:28] ircuser: infact i don't think folders inherit their parent folders permissions anyway [19:28] sebsebseb: yes [19:28] ActionParsnip: thx [19:28] om26er: good :) [19:28] sebsebseb: thx [19:28] VCoolio: Itś the same layout I've been using for years - United kingdom International (With Dead Keys). Itś been functioning normally up until I booted my laptop about 20 minutes ago, and the modifiers and default keys have switched. [19:28] adam: yes, but what is "it"? [19:28] whos an absolute genius with permissions? [19:28] ActionParsnip : the cannel [19:28] ActionParsnip: Thanks will check that out [19:28] adam: try the channel ##linux [19:28] Roasted: state your issue and the channel will reply if itr can [19:28] channel* [19:28] Hence why Iḿ getting Iḿ and itś instea of I'm and it's. :p [19:29] Question - I'm having a problem with the GID of one of my groups. I have "Samba" with a GID of 1005. Jason:Samba owns /media/storage/test with 770 permissions. Even users not in the group can write to that directory. Yet if I apply "Samba1" with a GID of 1007 as the group, suddenly the permissions are working accordingly. WTH (H for Heck) is wrong wtih Samba with GID of 1005? [19:29] BillHarris: np, oh and if you download the ISO from FTP/HTTP good idea to md5sum/sha1sum before burning to CD, if you got the torrent your probably ok. [19:29] I do have a separate /home; will the desktop install let me keep those? (I do have a backup, but I'd like not to need it) [19:29] !md5sum > BillHarris [19:29] BillHarris, please see my private message [19:29] jadakren: yeah [19:29] !repeat | Roasted [19:29] * Syniq reboots to see if itĺl magically fix itself. [19:29] Roasted: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[19:29] oh my God, get over it ow26er [19:29] adam: gotch. simply type /j ##linuxchannel where you normally type text [19:29] jadakren: ran this "sudo ln -s Movies /srv/ftp/kaleidoscope" it didn't work..returned 550 error [19:29] ActionParsnip, my vlc crashes how can i find the entry in the dmesg [19:29] ActionParsnip : thanks alot [19:29] !attitude | Roasted [19:29] Roasted: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:29] hi to all [19:29] ircuser: first folder argument is wrong [19:30] noren: why do you always ask me? ask the channel. If I know I will reply [19:30] how i can remove open-jdk from apt-get ? [19:30] ircuser: i assume you are running that command in the folder holding your token Movies folder ? [19:30] jadakren: yeah [19:30] ActionParsnip, ok :( [19:30] ircuser: then it needs ./ infront of it [19:30] webus: sudo apt-get --purge remove open-jdk (or whatever the package is called). Then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [19:31] !ignore > om26er [19:31] om26er, please see my private message [19:31] Hi! I have a problem upgrading Ubuntu One. The payment fails, even though I tried two different cards. [19:31] hmmmmm, how do i become administrator in a way that i freely change all of the files without further asking of permission? :) [19:31] thnx [19:31] Syniq: the dead keys part is where it comes from; I have the same but I see that as a useful feature; don't know why this didn't happen to you before, that is the error, not that it's working now [19:31] Il__Matteo: sudo -s [19:31] GnuBee: use dropbox [19:31] armornick, What is dropbox? [19:31] ActionParsnip, thx [19:31] GnuBee: they have a channel #ubuntuone [19:31] Il__Matteo: will give a root console using your users settings [19:32] sebsebseb: yep, used md5sum for years. thx for the reminder. [19:32] sebsebseb, Thanks! [19:32] BillHarris: might want to start doing sha1sum as well :) [19:32] GnuBee: np [19:32] jadakren: " sudo ln -s Movies./ /srv/ftp/movies" again 550 error [19:32] !info dropbox [19:32] Package dropbox does not exist in karmic [19:32] what incantation lets me see virtual terminals? They're there, but since sometime in Jaunty, they're black on black. [19:32] jadakren: Even tried this .. " sudo ln -s Movies/ /srv/ftp/movies" again 550 error [19:33] ircuser: sudo ln -s ./Movies /srv/ftp/movies [19:33] sebsebseb: thx [19:33] BillHarris: np [19:33] ActionParsnip, but i want it to have effects from here to eternity, and not only for a certain console session ;) [19:33] is the current keymap setting stored somewhere? how to retrieve it? I think "setxkbmap us" skips features I have now [19:33] ircuser: try: cd /srv/ftp; sudo ln -s /path/to/Movies . [19:33] ircuser: /srv/ftp/movies is where you want the fake folder to be or is it where the movies actually are located? [19:34] I cannot start pulseaudio, it says the port is already in use. Which port number does pulseaudio use anyway? [19:34] will a desktop install use my current /, /boot, and swap partitions and let me keep my /home partition, or is that better done from the alt install? [19:34] Il__Matteo: bad idea, since you risk breaking everything [19:34] BillHarris: you can set up the partitions how you want to with the desktop CD [19:34] BillHarris: normal install can do that too, just don't format /home [19:34] armornick, I am on Karmic - I don't think it has dropbox - whatever that is? [19:34] BillHarris: desktop does the same i guess [19:35] Il__Matteo: then you'd have to log on as root which is neither supported nor encouraged. Having full uncontrolled access over your system is one reason why windows gets so many issues. Its also one of the reasons its not used or encouraged. Once your system is up and running you very infrequently need your password [19:35] So I lazily (improperly) updated Firefox 3.6 beta 4 and I think I consequently got it stuck in elevated permissions. I already chown'd everything back to root, chmodded to take executable permissions away from group and user, even forced .Xauthority to rebuild, but it's still stuck. [19:35] GnuBee: It's an external program http://www.getdropbox.com [19:35] GnuBee: you have to install dropbox from the site dropbox.com since it's semi-proprietary [19:35] Hi, Its there any way to reset gnome keyrings to its original config [19:35] sounds like I can use either; thanks. Try2 for karmic (try3 would be sid) [19:35] GnuBee: but it comes with better support and a voting system for new features [19:35] Bonsoir [19:35] GnuBee: I use it also and like it very much [19:35] bobertdos: that's not really Ubuntu support [19:36] topo: Remove ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring [19:36] clandestine_j, is it an alternative for the gnome-client ? [19:36] bobertdos: what about if you rename ~/.mozilla [19:36] bobertdos: or it is, nevermind [19:36] ActionParsnip, and armornick: i'm not 8 y.o. :D anyway, what's the difference between having a full uncontrolled access and inserting password every given time? i guess there's no difference. the amount of damage i can do is the same :D [19:36] ActionParsnip: I'll give it a try [19:37] Il__Matteo: you might be surprised :-) [19:37] May I ask my question again for newcomers who arrived in the Ubuntu chat? Or would I get scolded for posting it again? [19:37] is it possible to run fluxbox on ubuntu 9.10? [19:37] GnuBee: No, it's a file sync/share idea like ubuntuone. 2GB free then a pay program for space after that. It has multiplatform clients so you can run it on Linux, Windows and Mac (if those are relevant to you). They have good support and it has reasonable throughput for syncing === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:37] Roasted: ubuntuforums.org [19:37] already posted, thanks though! [19:38] konbon: Sure why not. It's in the repo's. [19:38] Il__Matteo: the password makes you think twice before doing it [19:38] nice [19:38] Il__Matteo: I have known someone to do the 'rm -r *' trick at / by accident / inattention (don't try this at home, folks) [19:38] clandestine_j, How much is it? [19:38] Question - I'm having a problem with the GID of one of my groups. I have "Samba" with a GID of 1005. Jason:Samba owns /media/storage/test with 770 permissions. Even users not in the group can write to that directory. Yet if I apply "Samba1" with a GID of 1007 as the group, suddenly the permissions are working accordingly. WTH (H for Heck) is wrong wtih Samba with GID of 1005? [19:38] Il__Matteo: yes but you have to use sudo AND type the password to allow it, if you log in as root then any and all apps you run will also run as root. If you foolishly launch a web browser with flash or java and they contain malicious code, or the site contains malicious javascript, it will wreak havoc on the system as it has full reign over the system, if it only runs as user its access will only be limited to $HOME [19:38] miromanyth: Thanks for the info :) [19:38] clandestine_j, ahh .. I found the pricing link. .. [19:38] Roasted: it's ok to ask your question again after a while, as long as your also doing it in a sensible way [19:38] hi, what is a good live cd distro, intended mostly to ssh -X to other server? 1) works well on laptops (drivers for sound, gfx, etc) 2) saves power well 3) boot up quickly? [19:38] GnuBee: https://www.dropbox.com/pricing [19:38] konbon: Not a probelm. [19:38] Il__Matteo: and in the small chance that you get a virus, the creator can do ANYTHING [19:39] sebsebseb - I understand. I just know this chat is unusually sensitive towards certain things. I didn't want to offend anybody.. again. [19:39] Roasted: well you can ask in a stupid way to, but it might not be as helpeful [19:39] jadakren: /srv/ftp is there. i want a link or fake folder in this directory ... ur command created a link which on clicking showed the movies folder as in /srv/ftp/Movies but not from my browser when i accessed it.. [19:39] and what about the same thing, but just restricting it to a folder? [19:39] clandestine_j, Yeah .. about the same as Ubuntu One ... I guess I would prefer paying canoical though. [19:39] Il__Matteo: its not to annoy you or to make the system harder to use, its for genuine system security and stability but some people think that nice easy use is more important than system security and fewer issues [19:39] ActionParsnip: no change.........It doesn't really bother me browsing this way, I just know it's a bad idea. It IS my fault, since I was just being lazy :P [19:39] clandestine_j, Also, the ubuntu one client is free software, I think. (Not the server, though) [19:39] Il__Matteo: right click a folder and set the permissions [19:39] How to login from linux laptop A to linux server B (in same LAN) so that I will have full desktop (not just ssh -X) ? I think it was called XDHCP or something... in gdm, kdm... [19:40] so obvious :D [19:40] ActionParsnip: didn't work...created a link in folder there but was not accessible from browser [19:40] GnuBee: Yeah, I've not tried ubuntuone, but it might be good too. Let us know if you like it :-) [19:40] bobertdos: its a real bad idea. Did you download the tar.gz and install that way or did you use the repo? [19:40] ircuser: can you see how symlinks work now? [19:40] Roasted: any three letter abrivations are unlikely to be of much help in your question by the way [19:40] why the hell is it impossible to make something easy in linux? It took my 1 minute to setup my 5.1 system in windows. i'm trying for over 5 months now in ubuntu! no offense, but why?! [19:40] LimCore: remote desktop [19:40] clandestine_j, So far I like it, but I need the 50GB upgrade, and the site has an error when I try to pay using credit card. [19:40] ircuser: becuase you now need to change the permissions on the fake folder to be view able by all... try : sudo chmod 775 /srv/ftp/Movies [19:40] Neremor: try forums, also alsa [19:41] sebsebseb - pardon? [19:41] Neremor: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/ [19:41] ActionParsnip: The tar. I've done it a thousand times over the past few years. I just didn't feel like updating it the way I know I should. [19:41] ActionParsnip: yeah...I will try on net... thank you guys... if I keep on asking commands this way I won;t learn anything :P [19:41] can anyone recommend a movie player? [19:41] Neremor: depends on the distro, and the user what they are trying to do, if things are easy or not [19:41] jadakren: thanks... [19:41] and the whole admin thing reminds me of the Vista "security policies"... ;) [19:41] Roasted: I mean I don't think you should put WTH or anything like that in your question [19:41] hello, someboy knows whay can i connect emesene? [19:41] armornick: what do you mean? I do NOT want vnc (that transports entire screen parts bitmaps) [19:41] bobertdos: use: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa much easier [19:41] why cant* [19:41] kraitos: VLC [19:41] sebsebseb - I understand. Kindergarten ruleset. Gosh I keep forgetting... [19:41] apt-get install VLC [19:41] ircuser: good way to learn, jeeves is your friend too :) [19:41] my wireless is not recognized at all!! I don't see a wireless card using lspci [19:41] LimCore: I'm sorry but that's the only thing I know that allows you to have full control over another pc [19:42] aceruser: use: sudo lshw -C network [19:42] Roasted: also it usualley helps to be polite and such, when asking for help with something [19:42] f00l, i mean that's similar to amarok. [19:42] how i can view all installed packages in my system over apt-get ? [19:42] How do I share multiple locations using Samba? Using multipe "[share]" or "path =" strings doesn't work [19:42] Any tips on getting virtual terminals to work in karmic (i.e., not black on black)? [19:42] sebsebseb - editing WTH out of my question isnt polite? [19:42] now what? [19:42] LimCore: suggestion : freeNX or maybe the linux version of rDesktop = xcrmdcp [19:42] ActionParsnip: well, would you look at that......I didn't know they posted the daily builds like that....thanks [19:42] it says ether interface [19:42] by nvidia [19:43] jadakren: "xcrmdcp" ? [19:43] ActionParsnip, i guess use AND issues is better than no use and no issues [19:43] LimCore: allows you to run X over ssh [19:43] there is no such thing as "xcrmdcp" [19:43] Roasted: I am not o p here :) ,but if you check out their COC and make sure your following it, you will probably get further in here, when it comes to getting help [19:43] LimCore: pendantic [19:43] jadakren: chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink `/srv/ftp/movies' [19:43] jadakren: what? [19:43] !coc > Roasted [19:43] Roasted, please see my private message [19:43] LimCore: you are being pendantic [19:44] now what? [19:44] jadakren: you told me to use "xcrmdcp" and there is no such thing. [19:44] Is there a way of setting up a ubuntu installation on a usb drive that knows whether to go into UNR or normal ubuntu according to whether I'm using it on a netbook or a thing that isn't a netbook? [19:44] Il__Matteo: its just a smarter choice [19:44] jadakren: what you wanted to say previously? perhaps you made a typo [19:44] VCoolio: Nono, I like the dead keys. I just want them to activate on AltGr presses, not as the default setting. :p And the reboot hasn fixed it. :( [19:44] sebsebseb - I'm just going to stop asking questions in regard to this chat, because it's beginning to make me relatively sick, to be honest. [19:44] PM closed [19:44] how do I type something from the character map? it says U+0084 [19:44] in windows thats alt+0084 [19:44] can anyone recommend a movie/video player that is similar to amarok? [19:44] Roasted: PM closed? this is not a pm [19:44] is my wireless card windows only or something? [19:44] ActionParsnip, it's incredible how i came up to this just to set my printout options as inverted. [19:44] LimCore: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/index.html [19:45] whatever that thing is [19:45] kraitos: banshee [19:45] con-man: one possiblity would be to use gucharmap application [19:45] exited [19:45] Being able to type naïve properly is good. ;) [19:45] Il__Matteo: c'est la vi [19:45] e [19:45] Tht said, the only one that seems to have switched is ´... [19:45] Roasted: oh what the bot sent you [19:45] yeah, and life sucks ;) [19:45] sebsebseb - yes [19:45] ActionParsnip, do you know of any other? [19:45] con-man: try ctrl+shift+u, then 0084 then space [19:45] thanks jadakren [19:45] aceruser: which wireless card is it? [19:45] LimCore: you know of this ? using xMing on windows you can running linux apps remotely [19:45] Hmm. ´ and ` are the ones which have switche. [19:45] con-man: try holding alt-gr then type that number, then release alt+gr [19:46] Roasted: it seems you don't really care about any of the rules and such for the channel, and you also seem to be making that clear when asking for help, which isn't exactly helpful [19:46] ActionParsnip, what is "gr" [19:46] jadakren: I need thist only for linux -> linux actually. From linux A I want to use X applications on linux B. I can use ssh -X but I do not get the "desktop" thing, thats only problem [19:46] con-man: not gr. ALT-GR is the name of a key on the keyboard [19:46] LimCore: will still work. but one thing first : are you aware of what the ssh + screen combo is for ? [19:46] con-man: its usually the right alt [19:46] how can I find the max resolution that my chips will do in graphics? [19:46] Does canoical have some kinda support? [19:46] ActionParsnip, ? [19:46] I have tried to hibernate the computer, but it failed and was trying to do it for half an hour at least. I hard-rebooted the system and now I am getting : "could not mount a filesystem" error. Any help please? [19:46] Hi, nautilus suddenly stopped accessing my windows shares it asks for a password [19:46] sebsebseb - It's not that I don't care about the rules. I just get annoyed when people are unusually picky. I post in a lot of chats here, a lot. And this one sticks out by a mile in regard to being whiney. Other users in other chats say the same thing.

But like I said, what I mentioned above still stands. OP or not, when people pick over things that actually just don't matter... at all... it just gets old. It happens here all too often. [19:49] jadakren: Im a bit lazy to be honest, but I know a lot about overall linux; can you just give me what to type on server and what to type on client if you remember it? [19:49] sebsebseb: I was confused because that bot said the ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu ;) [19:49] Hi all. I am looking at setting up a server running two or three virtual servers on what should I be looking at reading about? [19:49] armornick: oh ok [19:49] GnuBee: yes its supported here. Or do you mean phone support? [19:50] Roasted: I know what you mean, I think [19:50] LimCore: no. been a long time. [19:50] zim: depends on what kind of server [19:50] LimCore: i'm lazy too [19:50] ActionParsnip, Well .. there has to be a reason the payment fails, but the webpage doesn't give any hints.

I hard-rebooted the system and now I am getting : "could not mount a filesystem" error. Any help please? [19:54] Sebsebseb, using aptitude or do I have to get the .deb package?

Is it basically legacy GDM for 9.10 though (in terms of personalization, etc)? [19:56] GodfatherofEire: Kubuntu KDE 4's KDM is also nice, and that's in the repo [19:57] GodfatherofEire: the old GDM is in the repo for Karmic, but needs setting up some how [19:57] sebsebseb, I dont mind setting it up [19:57] Any idea how I would / could go about applying this patch? I've applied patches to PHP files before, but never to client-side files.

I can't even boot linux from a CD because of this. I'm running 9.10 [19:58] this is making me insane.. I cannot find the ubuntu-restricted-extras package in synaptic??! [19:58] GodfatherofEire: Slim is better, well unless you want a bit of sound on your log in screen as well [19:58] How do I share multiple locations using Samba? Using multiple "[share]" or "path =" strings doesn't work [19:58] aceruser: not possible i guess [19:58] aceruser: oh well, so just install it using the terminal? [19:59] doesn't work either [19:59] aceruser: sudo apt-get update [19:59] sebsebseb, well I'm trying to get it to tie in with the system theme, which would require the gdm theme, so, would slim support it? [19:59] aceruser: You have the "restricted" repository enabled first? [19:59] dAlfa89_: i can give you my smb.conf [19:59] ActionParsnip: i just did a clean install... mmc card support isn't in the kernel, my /boot is on a small partition on my hdd, everything else is on my sdhc SDCard... it would appear that karmic's kernel currently has (.14?) the GNU numbering... I need at leaset (2.6.17-rc1) of the gnu numbering of kernels, inorder for my mmc slot to have my root device... see: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_the_internal_SD-CARD_working [19:59] I am trying to perform the following: Cable Modem -- (ETH0) Ubuntu -bridge- (ETH1)- Xbox. Normally bridging network connections is easy in windows, however I have never done such a thing in linux... Google gives me only a few results... any one have any experience doing bridging in linux? [19:59] dAlfa89_: pastbin your smb.conf file [19:59] dAlfa89_: you just have multiple shares defined [19:59] OH .. now I managed to pay! [19:59] GodfatherofEire: well you could make your own silm theme. the system theme?? [20:00] GnuBee: for what? [20:00] dAlfa89_: http://pastebin.com/f1370443e [20:00] @OmniCitadel - Firestarter'll set it all up for you [20:00] Hanibal: after installing on the memory card insert the memory card into a usb card reader and then boot [20:00] sebsebseb, well, the appearance. not using the default or I wouldnt be changing the log on [20:00] dAlfa89_: just have another share (see bottom of the file) [20:00] sebsebseb, ubuntu one upgrade. [20:00] GnuBee: ok [20:00] canoemoose is firestarter a package? [20:00] sebsebseb, also, would it get rid of the secondary loading bar? [20:00] Hanibal: then sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools-modules [20:00] dAlfa89_: is the downloads share working? [20:00] yes, it is [20:00] Hanibal: then sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [20:01] sweet thanks [20:01] sebsebseb, Apparently they don't accept "Dankort", allthough its on their list. At least it worked when I tried using VISA instead. [20:01] dAlfa89_: http://pastebin.com/m79cc2906 I added an extra share [20:01] GodfatherofEire: you mean the Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen, and then after that, how it says Ubuntu with the sand theme? [20:01] dAlfa89_: thats all there is to it, you must restart samba after to reload the config [20:01] Hanibal: http://om26er.blogspot.com/2009/08/install-ubuntu-on-acer-aspire-one-sd.html [20:01] \OmniCitadel it's a firewall config that also handles connection sharing [20:02] om26er: i don't believe i have a card reader handy, i'll try my camcorder... it might show up as a usb-mass, i'll go check... but is it possiable to chroot from a livecd and do it here? [20:02] sebsebseb, the loading bar after you log in, and before it actually shows you the desktop [20:02] ActionParsnip, that's what I did, I'll try again with different locations and settings, see if it works [20:02] GodfatherofEire: it's actsaully, becasue of the new boot up stuff, including the log in screen, that I decided to use another distro instead for now :) and I got much nicer boot up :) [20:02] canoemoose: thanks I have some googleing to do now [20:02] thanks [20:02] dAlfa89_: really good way to do it btw, you can ssh in, add a share, restart the service and POOF another share [20:02] no probs [20:02] om26er: ah, thanks [20:02] GodfatherofEire: after I put in my user name and password in Karmic, it just logged me in [20:02] sebsebseb, better yet, all I really need out of 9.10 is the Ubuntu one.would the deb package install on 9.04? [20:02] Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds [20:03] ok, guys, the best compromise is: sudo nautilus :D [20:03] is it bad for a system to take 20 minutes to load into the live ubuntu off of the amd 64 bit disk [20:03] ActionParsnip, the server in this case is my laptop, so I can transfer files between all of my systems, it's right here (: [20:03] Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds..... does anyone know ab't this? [20:03] GodfatherofEire: Yes you can do Ubuntu One in 9.04 [20:03] sebsebseb, alrighty then, then I'll do that [20:03] another issue for you kind helpers. how to i reduce the definition of idle time from 10 minutes to 5 or less mins? [20:04] GodfatherofEire: still got a 9.04 CD? [20:04] * Syniq grumbles about not being able to file a bug report because the stupid edge server has a timeout lower than his 3G stick can load the page. [20:04] sebsebseb, yep, or rather, I will in a few minutes [20:04] "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds"..... does anyone know ab't this? [20:04] Is UNR mostly the same as ordinary ubuntu except for the user interface, or are they quite different underneath? [20:04] Or more like 30 [20:04] Matteo: actually : gksudo nautilus [20:04] GodfatherofEire: good idea to md5sum/sha1sum before burning contents to CD, well if you downloaded from a torrent rather than HTTP/FTP it's probably ok [20:04] dAlfa89_: thats cool, make sure you use ssh so you can modify the file without having to take a walk ;) [20:04] !md5sum > GodfatherofEire [20:04] GodfatherofEire, please see my private message [20:04] jadakren, what's the difference? [20:05] Zabbadahu: I suppose it depends on the speed of your cd-drive and possibly RAM size, CPU speed, etc. A 2x cd-drive for instance on a system with less than 1Gb of RAM can be almost intolerably slow [20:05] hi all [20:05] i need help [20:05] GodfatherofEire: if you want to be really sure it's a good download, you can do both checks [20:05] sebsebseb, yeah, i'm using torrents, not that, and I've got pleeenty of CDs [20:05] !gksudo | Il__Matteo [20:05] Il__Matteo: 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) [20:05] dAlfa89_: http://pastebin.com/m1daab5aa [20:05] Matteo: something about where sudo places the session data etc etc [20:05] does anybody have an example xorg.conf for 9.10 i can have please? [20:05] manas: is that pronounced man-ass or ma-nas? [20:05] ActionParsnip, laptop on lap, desktop on desk (: I don't know anything about SSH'ing yet [20:05] i downloaded the macOS theme [20:05] !ask | manas [20:05] manas: 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. :-) [20:05] GodfatherofEire: also run the CD verier once booted to the CD [20:05] "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds"..... does anyone know ab't this? [20:05] !details | manas [20:05] manas: 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 ..." [20:05] dAlfa89_: thats all you need then copy and edit below it for the next one [20:05] its a zip file [20:05] Hanibal: i have already reported this at launchpad would be great of you comment there so it might get fixed in Lucid Lynx https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/477482 [20:06] but how do i install it [20:06] dAlfa89_: on the server run: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:06] genii: it is an Athlon 3200+ with a gig [20:06] dAlfa89_: have you set a samba password for andy? [20:06] dAlfa89_: you can then connect using: ssh username@servername [20:06] ActionParsnip, i would, if I was worried about it (i.e. http/ftp dl), but I usually dont, havent had a problem yet [20:06] GodfatherofEire: what do you want exactly, I am a little curious, you can tell me in pm [20:06] ActionParsnip, I'm guessing I'll need to chmod the target folders, so Windows can access them? [20:06] dAlfa89_: you can then issue commands like you were sat at the system [20:06] dAlfa89_: not at all [20:07] and by the way it's MANA-s [20:07] :-) [20:07] GodfatherofEire: regarding your boot up [20:07] GodfatherofEire: it takes a minute to check and will rule out bad media as a possibility if you get issues [20:07] Anyone around who knows about fixing bugs in keyboard layouts? :( [20:07] Syniq> like what kind? [20:07] !anyone | synegy34 [20:07] synegy34: 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? [20:07] Syniq: bah, I fought a bloody battle with that, got nowhere. [20:08] how do i install a theme i Ubuntu [20:08] ActionParsnip, I know, but I'm not too worried [20:08] dAlfa89_: you can use: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER on the server to add authorisation to the share, this will authenticate you as a username (which is why my smb.conf has allowed users ;)) [20:08] GodfatherofEire: your call, i'd check [20:09] hello! I removed all alsa kernel modules for soundcards. is there a way to reinstall them via apt?

All the other dead keys work correctly - that is, when I hold down Alt Gr and press them. These two have suddenly beccome the default action on those keys, and I haven done anything to the settings to make this so. [20:09] And grrr. [20:09] Zabbadahu: cool, what does it say about the PATA / SATA controller [20:09] You might want to do sudo smbpasswd -e name after the -a part [20:09] manas: try this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-129768.html [20:09] *I'm, it's, haven't [20:09] i downloaded the mac OS theme, how do i install it, its a zip file [20:09] om26er: ah shounds good :) will do now [20:09] Thanks!!!

I would advise hitting it with smartmontools and pulling the reports it can give from its extended test. [20:19] Snausages: smartmontool's runs frma USB? [20:19] Snausages: Well, that's a good question. How can I find out? [20:20] ActionParsnip, woops, minus the www. [20:20] what's SMART/ System>Administration>Disk Utility ?? [20:20] VirusTB: the software runs when booted from a usb device.

I got enough USB's for use, and the drive is SATA [20:21] TommiH: it's almost always fastest just to ask whoever set it up, but another way would be to determine your IP address as it appears to you, and compare that to how it appears to the outside world.

[20:39] I was wondering If i could boot it with GRUB2 [20:39] I have manually compiled a library (in repository that library is outdated). Should i do something for aptitude to know that the library is there and shouldn't be replaced? [20:39] :)# [20:39] slimjimflim: hmmm so that IP is coming up with the exact interfaces file you initially showed me? [20:39] clandestine_j: yes [20:39] boodroscotch: If you have grub, you can tell it to chainload ntldr. [20:39] hello, how to install glibc with debug info on ubuntu? [20:39] pelo: My MythTV box is outputting to a standard-def TV, and although the MythTV interface is readable (it was designed to be) everything else isn't and I administrate it through SSH. [20:39] I might revert to windows7... :) [20:39] TuTUXG: so RAID 1 is wwhere HDD 1 = HDD 2 exact copy [20:39] boodroscotch: But like you cannot boot Linux directly with ntldr, you cannot boot Windows NT directly with grub. [20:39] VirusTB: yes [20:39] how can I install grub? [20:40] ok, I made a document in the Ubuntu Community docs, and now I can find it! :) Do they get removed?

[20:41] Shawnrisk, the ubuntu install cd should let u format/partition windows off the disk [20:41] aceruser: Did you try the Function Key combination to toggle it on? [20:41] ShawnRisk> put in the ubuntu cd and install it will reformatt and delete windows vista [20:41] ShawnRisk, just backup all your data and boot off the Ubuntu CDRom and use the whole disk, it will delete Windows for you. [20:41] ShawnRisk: run ubuntu setup and format vista drive and install ubuntu on that i gues [20:41] canoemoose, that's pretty much the type of setup I'm looking for/at , I'M setting up an old comp as a media center in my living room, right now I'M vnc ing into it, but it's an nvidia card and I'm tring to figure out the best output I can get [20:41] does anyone know of a good english to turkish translator [20:41] om26er: ok [20:41] TuTUXG: Wiki is worst place to get info :( but yet reliable.... any n everyone edits/vandalizes a wiki [20:41] VirusTB: raid = redundant array of inexpensive disks [20:41] aceruser: Or what ever switch there is on the device that is supposed to turn the wifi on / off....?

[20:41] VirusTB: i'd say the wiki page for raid is pretty good [20:42] !help | Lucho_ [20:42] Lucho_: 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. :-) [20:42] I might try going into the bios.. [20:42] Lucho, we can rty [20:42] pelo, I'd give you my xorg.conf, except that box is at home and I'm at uni and they block my VPN ports :p [20:42] ok, I made a document in the Ubuntu Community docs, and now I can find it! :) Do they get removed? Do those get rotated? could someone just delete my entire howto?

Are you sure? [20:43] Out_Cold: The redirection (>) is handled by your shell, before it calls sudo. That's why it fails. [20:43] canoemoose, thansk anyway, I'll do the trial and error bit , [20:43] VirusTB: ;) [20:43] jrib: i did chmod g+srwx /mydir, so every new file i create in /mydir has these access, but if i do cp /newdir/myfile /mydir/myfile it gets only g+r, why? [20:43] clandestine_j: no good [20:43] pelo, if you're using the non-free Nvidia drivers, just play with the resolutions available until you find somehting readable. [20:43] om26er no, it is a serial mouse on a desktop PC [20:43] grawity, so just go root? [20:43] i want it to have rwx automatically [20:43] That's interesting then, if UNR is essentially a user interface difference with the same ubuntu underneath, then I wonder if there's a way of installing an ubuntu to a usb drive that can be switched between UNR or desktop versions of the interface, and better still, if it can figure it out by itself?

I'm trying to get this verizon WWAN usb thing working on this Inspiron mini, and it's giving me trouble. NetworkManager autodetects it, but when I try to connect it it, it instantly returns "connection disconnected" [20:49] Any ideas?

For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [20:49] anyone figure out how to get 9.10 to work with AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter ? [20:50] then i guess this is the support channel [20:50] I've already tried following several online guides, but no luck. [20:50] i'm using pulseaudio, but i only get sound from the two front speakers. I have an intel onboard soundcard which supports 5.1 for sure (tested under windows), but pulseaudio only uses the output for the front speakers. any idea what to fix? [20:50] slimjimflim: Good. So what happens sometimes is that the hardware address gets dropped from the kernel - not sure why - and so the network device gets confused about what it is. Does the computer have wireless and wired by any chance? [20:50] is anybody here familiar with ldap? I'm following the guide on ubuntu.com but there are some minor syntax errors [20:50] Lucho_: seems to me that this bug is milestoned for ubuntu's next release https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/9068 but read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [20:50] clandestine_j: yea, but there's no driver for it [20:51] Is there a way to update networkmanager and just networkmanager? [20:51] clandestine_j: i'm gonna have to rebuild the kernel to get it working...install from source [20:51] I'm in Hardy still. [20:51] Out_Cold: I was also having some issues where linux doesn't see any of my IDE devices, could it be related? [20:51] clandestine_j: haven't gotten around to that yet === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [20:51] slimjimflim: Yeah I figured. The kernel knew enough that you had two network interfaces, but not enough to keep them separate. By specifying the HW address you were able to force association to that specific interface [20:51] oic [20:52] RRockon, possible but i doubt it. you could try a live cd and see if you can boot from your root drive? [20:52] Slurpee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros [20:52] thanx [20:52] Out_Cold: The IDE issue prevents me from using Live_CDs [20:52] ouch [20:52] clandestine_j: ok well thanks for the help [20:52] they too drop to a BusyBox [20:52] I can't really work with the installation fixed to either UNR or big ubuntu, because I can't restrict the usage of the ubuntu installation on the usb drive to just one or the other type of machine. Switching it would be useful, switching it automatically would be better [20:52] slimjimflim: I see that a lot in largish linux routers - i.e. 10+ interfaces [20:52] RRockon, are your jumper settings correct? [20:52] I got to install using an USB drive, but I don't have it handy right now [20:52] slimjimflim: no problem, we're always here to help [20:52] **and bios [20:52] Should be, everything works fine in Windows [20:53] What Citrix client should I use if I am running 9.04? [20:53] **and bios [20:53] oops.. [20:53] may just be a weird hardware mess? [20:53] Hi, I can't Request Free CDs from shipit anymore, but I really need one this time because my laptop wont read the ones I burn for some weird reason ! [20:53] How do you shorten the height of the File Browser's location bar? [20:53] I don't know. Could be... I'd expect linux to make heads or tails out of it though [20:54] Black_Phantom: what CD burning software are you using to burn the ISOs to CD? [20:54] Black_Phantom: if you have a flash drive, you can create a bootable usb [20:54] RRockon, you could always try another distro and see if that's the issue. debian is always stable, or suse or redhat [20:54] Debian doesn't boot either. I tried [20:55] RRockon: You have private message. [20:55] Black_Phantom: did you !md5sum check your image before burning? [20:55] tgm, I used every possible possibly way man, I was frustrated I used like 10 softwares including Nero, nothing helped, I even checked everything with the md5. But for some weird reason it cant read them, but it can read the official ones Canoncial send [20:55] Is there some magical step I'm missing here? [20:55] RRockon: What is your hardware? [20:55] guntbert, yes [20:56] WadoTG: Perhaps look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo [20:56] !LDAP [20:56] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.

I think I had the 260... and 6Gigs of DDR3 RAM, got a 1TB SATA disk and an IDE CD/DVDROM and additional HD [20:56] genii: thanks will give it a go [20:57] TuTUXG, I dont really have one right now :/ but i will purchase one soon, there is not any other solution ? [20:57] i want that all new files created under /mydir will get automatically rwx chmod, how can i do? [20:57] 6 Gb.. a shame that doesn't get used [20:57] whats this floodbot rubish [20:57] Yeah a little [20:58] I've yet to top it though, so I'll consider it "built for the future" :) [20:58] does anybody knows which program can execute .jnlp extension? [20:58] i have a few JPGs, how do i combine them into one pdf? [20:58] RRockon, ubuntu only sees 3 gb of that [20:58] Black_Phantom: or you can try to burn the disk from your friend's pc, for myself i'd always use a flash drive since it's pretty easy to create === travis is now known as Guest42190 [20:59] janisozaur, i know there are pdf creators but the last one i tried looked very complicated [20:59] janisozaur: probably easiest to open them all in a word processor or page layout tool and then print to pdf [20:59] RRockon, can you please state your problem again? [20:59] Um_cara_qualquer, I entered ".jnlp" in wikipedia and I was redirected to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start [20:59] is there a way to list of recently installed packages? [20:59] janisozaur, Snausages idea is better [20:59] hmm [20:59] Snausages: er... that sounds extremely simple. never thought of that :D. thanks [20:59] mka: Well, ubuntu doesn't see any of my IDE devices. Can't boot from a liveCD or it drops into Busybox. With the new kernel I can't even boot anymore, it says it times out looking for root [21:00] TuTUXG, hmmm thanks man but what could be the reason ??? it used to read them before I even tried using different brands of CD-Rs [21:00] TuTUXG, might be some driver problem ? [21:00] hello, I can't seem to get alacarte to work. Only way to get it work is by using "sudo alacarte" but even in this case the changes are not stored [21:00] Black_Phantom: i have really no idea, it could be your cd-rom's problem, or the disk's problem [21:01] RRockon, are you using grub2? [21:01] can somebody hint anything that I might be doing wrong? [21:01] Black_Phantom: personally i haven't burn and cd/dvd in a long time... [21:01] Black_Phantom, TuTUXG or the burning, or lack there of [21:01] mka: I think so. I clean installed 9.10 [21:02] Make note my desktop can read them, but my laptop, like it doesnt detect them at all [21:02] Black_Phantom: burned* any* cd/dvd [21:02] mka, i did a server install yesterday and also got the busybox because it couldn't find root. but mine was because i was using lvms. i solved my issue by using regular partitions [21:02] RRockon, ok, I am not familiar with that, but cant you tell grub to load the older kernel for now? [21:02] mka: This is how we're talking right now ;) [21:02] i want that all new files created under /mydir will get automatically rwx chmod, how can i do? [21:02] RRockon: crazy idea: maybe your IDE socket on the MoBo got loosened? [21:02] I've burned 9.10 cd images recently that went ahead and worked on the machines I put them in, so the images do actually do the job. [21:03] MyWay: use ACLs [21:03] guntbert: Everything works on my windows install, so that's not it [21:03] there is no way to to request a free CD ? the latest one that works here in 8.04 LTS and to install 9.10 on my laptop I upgrade it all the way from 8.04 ;/ [21:03] MyWay: and "rwx chmod" is ambiguous [21:03] jrib: doesn't chmod work? [21:03] hi [21:03] MyWay: sure, but that means you have to execute chmod... [21:03] Oh my, Gimp is a pile of junk these days. [21:03] RRockon: I said "crazy" :-) [21:03] read write and execute to the group, jrib [21:03] RRockon, do you know the equivalent of menu.lst in grub2? === czoik is now known as tudik [21:04] i thought that using chmod g+srwx /mydir i could do it [21:04] did you hear about the Ubuntu-Party in Paris during this week-end ? [21:04] !ot | Styx`` [21:04] Black_Phantom, even if you do get to request a new cd, you will probably solve your problem faster than it ships [21:04] Styx``: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:04] mka: No I don't [21:04] MyWay: if you want *every* file you create to have rwx for the group, then you can just change your user's umask. But if you want it to be specific to a directory you must use ACLs. +s on a directory just means files under it will get the same group, nothing about permissions [21:04] ok thanks :) [21:04] Black_Phantom: Out_Cold is right... [21:05] Black_Phantom: it could take a long time for the shipment [21:05] ah [21:05] Out_Cold, true, then I will purchase a new flash drive :) [21:05] i'll read about acls then, thanks jrib [21:05] TuTUXG, any guide on how to install using flash driver ( I know how boot from it in BIOS ) [21:05] MyWay: you need to add the acl option in your fstab and read « man setfacl » and « man getfacl » [21:05] drive* [21:06] !usb > Black_Phantom [21:06] Black_Phantom, please see my private message [21:06] Hi guys, do anyone of you know how to blank Network Manager configuration? I have someone on the phone who messed badly, and clean slate would do a trick. [21:07] Black_Phantom: check out the program called unetbootin [21:07] is there some kind of utility for the terminal that allows to change directories in such a way: typing "cd xxx", will show u list of all directories that are called/have/begin with "xxx", no matter where they are located in the file system, and let you select which on you want? [21:07] Black_Phantom: it could run on both win and linux [21:07] Black_Phantom: but first of all you need to make sure your laptop support boot from usb device [21:07] jest ktos [21:07] only in english [21:07] ?? [21:08] TuTUXG, it does, I saw it once 'Boot from USB flash memory' [21:08] sergiej: yup, go to #ubuntu.pl [21:08] how do i add a contact to an email with evolution?/ [21:08] I am getting a message that my IP address has been banned from Ubuntu Forums. Any Ideas why or how I may get this sorted? [21:08] do I have to download a different ISO ? or its the same oen ? [21:09] Black_Phantom: you can use the one you got [21:09] talldave, release your ip and renew or talk to an op [21:09] talldave: #ubuntuforums [21:09] TuTUXG, cool ok thanks alot :) [21:09] mka: Why, what did you want to know? [21:09] thanks all [21:09] np [21:10] RRockon, I thought I could be of help [21:10] hi, could someone with the gedit latex plugin check the command for Latex -> PDF for me (the one that opens the pdf in an external viewer)? [21:10] i forgot the sudo command when i unzipped :s [21:10] Out_Cold: i am on a mobile broadband connection from three uk, with a dynamic IP address, still get same error [21:10] why is my clock always 2 minutes fast, even when ntp is installed? [21:10] #ubuntuforums [21:10] RRockon: Yea, how far does it get in the boot process? (Maybe it is salvagable...) [21:10] opi: lol, Ubuntu.pl? his nick really sounded like .cz .lt or .ru [21:11] talldave, /join #ubuntuforums [21:11] Does it log that? [21:11] RRockon, for example in grub1's menu.lst you can tell which kernel to load and specify the root partition [21:11] RRockon: Does it start to boot and hang?

[21:14] hej [21:14] crud...... RRockon completely remove your IDE drive. [21:14] RRockon: If you hit Esc during the boot process, (when you see the Ubuntu logo), it will scroll some messages on the screen telling you what is happening, which will give you / us clues as to what is failing.

I need help with Ubuntu 9.10. I received the CD and I'm running Ubuntu from the CD (no installation on HD). It seems my WiFi device is recognized cause I can there are 4 networks available to connect. However on windows there are 6 networks including MY network which is not showing on Ubuntu. I tried connection "to hidden network" but with no success. I don't understand why some networks are showing but not mine. I also trie [21:25] Out_Cold: ok :) when/if will karmic be available for netbook remix? [21:25] tgm: it doesnt pull up the ip but googles hostmask i guess [21:25] lesshaste: there is a 9.1 UNR, I use it now. [21:25] is there some kind of utility for the terminal that allows to change directories in such a way: typing "cd xxx", will show u list of all directories that are called/have/begin with "xxx", no matter where they are located in the file system, and let you select which on you want? [21:25] Snausages: oh! [21:26] Satan911, what wifi card do you have? that could be a drivers or compatibility issue [21:26] h3n: What? hostmask? [21:26] Snausages: which page actually tells what the latest version is? [21:26] h3n: can you ping av.com [21:26] h3n? [21:26] Snausages: I am browning the netbook wiki but haven't come across that page yet [21:26] browsing [21:26] h3n: ping av.com [21:27] I have a Linksys Cisco WiFi USB. It works great on Windows AND I can see some networks on Ubuntu (i see 4 on Ubuntu but 6 on Windows) [21:27] tgm: i cant it says unkownhost av.com [21:27] lesshaste: http://www.ubuntu.com/ look at the orange text at left under the gray box [21:27] ssam in this case i forgot to mention i am talking about the source rpm [21:27] i'm trying to set my Synaptics touch pad, ever since upgrading to karmic (which i curse everyda) i'm having problems, this time i can't see the touchpad as i want (i can't use it as it's slow and unusable) i tried using gsynaptics but i get the SHMConfig thingy, i do have it in hal and i can see it works (via hal) so what's ubuntu up to this time? [21:27] unkown host* [21:27] I also have a built-in card but it's broken and disabled. [21:27] see/set [21:27] h3n: What is the output of route -n [21:27] ? [21:27] tgm: this will take a sec [21:27] Snausages: thanks! [21:28] Satan911, you can increase your TX power which is pretty much signal strength but don't ask me how [21:28] hikenboot, ok, not sure about alien and source rpms. still might be better to find the source tar.gz. what is the package [21:28] Snausages: what are you running it on? [21:28] Out_Cold: iwconfig [21:28] herlahr: you can pipe the output of tree to grep ... [21:28] I have a really powerful router that. The signal strengh is 100% on Windows [21:28] lesshaste: aspire one. I really like it! [21:28] tgm, well i know it's in there.. but i'm not certian of the command [21:28] Snausages: interesting.. I was going to get the toshiba nb205.. is the aspire better? [21:29] Out_Cold: man iwconfig [21:29] Satan911, ubuntu may be underpowering your wifi [21:29] Anyone can tell me how to install this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/net/ndisgtk with the source. There's no configure / config or make file [21:29] lesshaste: no clue what the toshiba you mention is... I got this because my macbook died and I needed a portable machine in a hurry... the corner store had these in stock. [21:29] Then why can I see my neighbor networks? [21:29] On my fixed ubuntu machine the wireless on any channel never goes above 15% strength. I think that's just the way it is in linux. [21:30] Snausages: aha :) so not too much research went into it [21:30] lesshaste: no not much [21:30] Rods_Tiger: no that's not right [21:30] is there any way to remove a metapackage (kubuntu-desktop) and all packages it contains, without removeing packges that are needed? [21:30] it's how it's been since I started using ubuntu [21:30] Satan911: Are you unable to see your own ? [21:30] Rods_Tiger: it will depend at least on the wireless driver [21:30] Yea. That's the problem [21:30] lesshaste: I tried to get it going with leopard and I sorta did, but it wasn't very reliable so I repaved it with ubuntu and haven't looked back [21:30] Satan911: Does your wireless router broadcast it's essid? [21:30] Snausages: cool [21:30] "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 [21:31] Not sure but I guess it does. [21:31] the ubuntu computer is sitting right next to the homehub, on the same small table, and the most it can get is 10-15% on a good day. [21:31] Satan911: Do you know the essid of your wireless router? [21:31] ron-l-j: His spelling and punctuation is terrible! :) [21:31] ron-l-j: true but still off-topic [21:31] No. [21:31] I just assumed that's normal [21:31] Rods_Tiger: that sounds like either a hardware problem or a driver issue.. which driver? [21:31] Satan911: Then we can not help you. Sorry. [21:32] :D [21:32] anyone had problems with video and VLC/movieplayers on ubunturemix? i've downloaded the restricted codecs package, but still video seems not to work [21:32] ssam thats what i am doing now but the script i am using to install it is conveluted and is using some magic to transfer it to a chroot [21:32] lesshaste: my dad has the nb205 and it's very nice.. although I don't like the big battery back if you have the 6-cell in.. but it gets like 7-9 hours o_o [21:32] that richard stallman chap must be an idiot then - that's the wrong way round [21:32] lesshaste - no idea [21:32] But look.. It's showing on Windows, it works fine on Windows and OS X. I can see other networks on Ubuntu and not mine.. [21:32] zerq: oh.. the 7-9 hours is only with some big battery pack? [21:32] Rods_Tiger: ah :) [21:32] Also can you tell me how to install this package please: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/net/ndisgtk [21:32] lesshaste: I ended up getting the hp mini 311 because of the nvidia ion chip.. sacrificing battery life for some half decent gpu power and a little nicer screen [21:32] TuTUXG: ok, but i'd still have to type the full path in order to change directory, no? [21:32] Without apt-get of course cause I don't have internet connection. [21:32] Satan911: Then you DO know the essid. Right? [21:33] lesshaste: well I've only ever seen it sold with the larger (6-cell I believe) [21:33] Satan911: google essid before they start shouting at you :) [21:33] archangelpetro Have you ran through the medibuntu hoe to ? [21:33] lesshaste: mine came with a 6-cell pack that bulges out the back, but it makes an awesome handle and it's still very light compared to the old one [21:33] lesshaste: but I think you can get a 3 cell also from Toshiba if you want less weight/size/batt life [21:33] how to :d [21:33] Satan911: Does your router use encrypted authentication? [21:33] zerq: ok thanks [21:33] Yea [21:33] Snausages: ah cool [21:33] WPA-Personal [21:33] !ot zerq [21:33] Satan911: What is your wireless card? [21:33] whats the command to delete a file? [21:34] herlahr: I guess so, if the prefix is not the dir you are currently in [21:34] hello [21:34] blood: rm [21:34] lesshaste: I typically get 3-5 hours but I'm not that conservative with usage [21:34] Satan911: Tell us the make and model of your wireless card. [21:34] lesshaste: thanks [21:34] http://www.lemuria-box.eu/ go flood that [21:34] tgm: you need to tell people how to get info like that.. this is #ubuntu [21:34] blood rm is delete for a file or to remove a dir [21:34] http://www.lemuria-box.eu/ go flood that [21:34] http://www.lemuria-box.eu/ go flood that [21:34] http://www.lemuria-box.eu/ go flood that [21:34] tgm; I'm pretty sure that's the name: Linksys WUSB600N Dual-Band Wireless-N USB [21:34] ron__: what's the link? [21:34] Satan911: lspci |grep ireless [21:34] Can someone help a newbie [21:35] mrbook: only if they want to play poker [21:35] blood " rm my file " or " rm /thisdirectory [21:35] mrbook: just ask [21:35] * lesshaste apologises [21:35] 15% signal is fine - as long as it's not 0% [21:35] I have Ubuntu running using Virtual Box hosted by Windows XP Pro. [21:35] blood: you want to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal , I guess :) [21:35] Satan911: Bring up a terminal window and type: lspci |grep ireless [21:35] I can't seem to get my integrated webcam to work. Any ieas [21:35] man rm [21:36] I'm on Windows now. Can't use IRC on Ubuntu if I don't have internet [21:36] But I'll boot in Ubuntu after I get enough support. [21:36] mrbook: I'll guess that you need to tell virtualbox how to present that usb device to your VM. I don't know how to do that in virtualbox. [21:36] When it comes to SSH'ing using PuTTY, can I move files from the Ubuntu box I'm in to a local Windows directory? [21:36] Satan911, just grab an ethernet cable while you troubleshoot wireless, will be much easier and less frustrating [21:36] lesshaste: you mean "apologize" ? [21:37] Satan911: You can turn off security on your router and that might just enable you to connect. [21:37] epinky: which country are you from? :) [21:37] Don't have any lol. Was looking for one but they are all used. [21:37] I'll keep looking. But please can anyone tell me how to install this specific package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/net/ndisgtk [21:37] dAlfa89_, you need sftp, from windows use the program winscp and use your ssh login/pass [21:37] add hock transfer files to machiene X [21:37] Satan911, try setting your ssid to visible if it is not already. [21:38] epinky: I say no to your invading zeds! [21:38] It is visible. [21:38] Satan911: Confuzius has the best solution, use a wired connection until you get things figured out. [21:38] Thanks Confuzius (: [21:38] And I tried conenection to "hidden network" too [21:38] sudo rm /file ??? [21:38] Satan911: Turn off security on the router. [21:38] satan911 what type of wireless router do you have ? [21:38] Hello everyone. === Berzerker- is now known as Berzerker [21:38] blood yes [21:39] I hate problems like that. If NO networks would showing I'd be looking for drivers but some are.. that's frustating. [21:39] Satan911: Turn of WPA [21:39] Satan911, do you have a usb stick available? (Or you could download the package to an ntfs partition of course as well) [21:39] blood where "rm" means remove and "/" meas directory [21:39] So every time I start my computer, it comes up with the error message, "Your display, keyboard and mouse could not be detected properly" or something like that. [21:39] Snausages-- When I run "Cheese" the little blue light comes on them I get these color bars. When I see the blue light come on I would expect the webcam is detected. [21:39] blood if you want to delete a picture call me you would type rm me [21:40] TuTUXG: haha :) if it's the directory im currently in why would i waste my time doing all that [21:40] I hava the package on Ubuntu.. the .tar.gz file with the source. But it has no configure or config file and I don't know how to install the package form this source [21:40] have* [21:40] Thing is, they all work fine and clicking, "cancel" will lead to X starting successfully. [21:40] blood if you want to delete a directory calld mypictures you would type rm mypictures [21:40] ron -l -j, its not working :( ... it says without the "/"file its a directory. if i put the /back in the '/file' it says that there is no such file or directory. its bizzar [21:40] herlahr: sorry was quite sure about your question.. [21:40] TuTUXG: ok [21:41] Satan911, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/ndisgtk/download and download the .deb file [21:41] blood type "ls" to see the files in your directory [21:41] Any way to get rid of that error message? It's getting rather irritating... [21:41] Satan911, first off see if you can find the package in the synaptics cuz although building is easy, it's not always recommended [21:41] The on ubuntu, run dpkg -i /path/to/thedebyoudownloaded.deb [21:41] Satan911: You will need to install some kernel packages in order to compile from source. And then you unpack the tarball and cd into it and do ./configure make and make install etc. [21:41] blood: to delete directories use rm -r foldername [21:41] How do I set up VLAN tagging in ubuntu? [21:41] Satan911, sorry, prefix it with sudo of course [21:41] what is the -r? [21:41] Thanks Out_Cold. [21:41] jamed, === cp is now known as Guest51321 [21:42] blood: recursive [21:42] I couldn't find the .dep file. That was a bit dump. [21:42] blood -r is a switch that meas recursive [21:42] Only had the source [21:42] means [21:42] Satan911: But the package you downloaded more than likely is pre-compiled for Ubuntu and you can install it via the package manager, (once you get online). I suggest you connec to wired network and get online, these things are easy once you are online. [21:42] Anyway I'll boot in Ubuntu and I'll try a few things. Might come back later. Thanks for your help. [21:42] is it possible to use gnome rdp from an OS X machine? [21:42] Yea if I can't get anything working I'll find a cable [21:43] Thanks [21:43] Satan911: Anytime. [21:43] By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the --recursive (-r or [21:43] -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its [21:43] contents. [21:43] hmm [21:43] PyroPhelia: it's possible but you need get gnome installed on osx [21:43] jamed: thx [21:43] ron__: i insdtalled w32codec andthe libdvdcss2 package, but i still have the same problem [21:43] blood: did it work? [21:43] ron-l-j: i insdtalled w32codec andthe libdvdcss2 package, but i still have the same problem [21:43] tutuuxg, like in a virtual machine? [21:43] jamed, yup [21:43] blood: np then :) [21:44] PyroPhelia: plus some other libs, it's could be pretty messy [21:44] grr [21:44] archangelpetro what file are you trying to play ? [21:44] PyroPhelia: no, not from a vm [21:44] I just wanted a os x client that could log into an ubuntu system running gnome [21:44] rm - remove files or directories [21:44] bleach7.com any one of the AVIs from there ron-l-j [21:44] -f, --force [21:44] ignore nonexistent files, never prompt [21:44] PyroPhelia: why not just use ssh? or vnc? [21:45] PyroPhelia: OSX already has ssh [21:45] I know, and ssh is always there, but I need some visual to show the people who are paying for the server. they're not cli friendly [21:45] PyroPhelia: ssh user@192.168.1.x [21:45] ok then you need to add lib file to play avi's [21:45] I know to use ssh, that's not the issue [21:45] PyroPhelia: vpn or vnc then [21:45] Good vide editor for ubuntu? [21:46] i'm looking at vnc now, thanks [21:46] PyroPhelia: GUI on a server? Why do you need it? [21:46] sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [21:47] Can some one help me get my integrated webcam to work [21:47] tgm, again, for the people paying for it. it's complicated [21:47] PyroPhelia: But you can install x11vnc on the server and use thightvnc on the client [21:47] PyroPhelia: vncviewer 192.168.1.x [21:47] mrbook1: you'd like to check with the virtualbox forum or irc [21:47] for example %% [21:48] Best video editor for Ubuntu? [21:48] PyroPhelia: on the server issue command x11vnc -forever [21:48] ron-l-j: looks like i sorted it, thanks a lot :D [21:48] PyroPhelia: Default is no password. [21:49] Jukos: Pitivi imo [21:49] how can i stop a terminal process? [21:49] kill? [21:49] wait, tightvnc doens't have a osx client, so i'm assuming I use the java client? [21:49] ^c? [21:49] yes plz [21:49] archangelpetro :D [21:49] PyroPhelia: apt-get install x11vnc #on the server [21:49] PyroPhelia: chicken vnc === kb is now known as Guest89922 [21:49] PyroPhelia: that one is pretty popular [21:49] ah ty [21:50] PyroPhelia: and then apt-get remove x11vnc when your done. [21:50] how can i kill a terminal process...? [21:50] blood: ^c [21:50] blood: pkill [21:50] or kill/pkill/killall [21:50] daz, sry i saw that, thx [21:50] hopefully after they see what i've done they'll leave me alone and I can bump the system down to run lvl3, but who knows [21:50] blood: kill [21:50] i couldnt type anything :s [21:50] my firefox fonts now look thinner and uglier comparing to rest of the desktop, after I installed kubuntu-desktop. that was the last big change I can remember... anyone got a similar issue? [21:51] blood: ctrl+c [21:51] hi, just had a quick question: i have a window list displayed on my bottom panel, but the color between a selected and unselected window is so little that I am often searching for the selected window! is there a way for me to customise this to make it clearer? thanks [21:51] Can you SSH from an entirely different network, or is it only on LAN? [21:51] blood: Ctrl-c [21:51] mr_mustard: are you using kde? [21:51] TuTUXG, thx [21:51] DaZ, no, but it is also installed [21:51] tgm, thx [21:51] dAlfa89_: you can ssh from anywhere.. [21:51] hm [21:52] dAlfa89_, as long as there is routing and as long as the firewalls permit it, you can ssh anywhere. [21:52] blood pkill or use top [21:52] Daz, thx :) [21:52] top will show you all running processes [21:52] yw [21:52] kekale, if I were to log in from school, I'm guessing I'd need to forward the necessary ports on my router so the school network thinks it's okay? [21:52] hi all, how can I turn off the notifications (e.g. when somebody goes online in Pidgin etc.) at the top right corner of the screen? thanks! [21:53] dAlfa89_, and you should have the outgoing port 22 open at the school's end. [21:53] What happens if I, intentionally or unintentionally, empty the /var/cache directory? Will it break something? [21:53] btw, what's the default fs in the latest release of ubuntu? [21:53] Hi i removed some packages and my apache stopped working, I get this in error log "libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work" but i have the file in /lib/. What am I missing? [21:53] PyroPhelia: ext4 [21:53] PyroPhelia: ext4 [21:53] finally [21:53] ty [21:54] kekale, is port 22 necessary? WinSCP lets you choose the port number, so I wondered.. [21:54] dAlfa89_: well, whatever port your ssh server listens to [21:54] dAlfa89_, it's not necessary by any means, it's just the default. [21:54] dAlfa89_: 22 by convention. [21:54] dAlfa89_: you can set ssh on any ports you like [21:54] dAlfa89_, and you can forward any port from your router to the 22 on your box. [21:54] Caesi right click the Pidgin icon and select Preferences, see if what you want to do is in there [21:54] why does the volume indicator show a negative dB number? [21:54] and 0dB when it's at 100% [21:55] Thanks guys, it should be interesting tomorrow (: [21:55] hh [21:55] can someone help troubleshoot my vnc? I am trying to ssh to the server and vnc from there, the "# tightvncconnect -display 1 localhost:5900 [21:55] " produces "can't open display 1" [21:55] ** i tried 0 also [21:57] I'm looking to set up an extremely simple laptop for an elderly gentleman so that he can just write letters. The machine is very low spec (700MHz and 384Mb memory). Is XFCE still the most lightweight desktop? Is there a very simple Ubuntu variant, for this sort of thing? [21:57] Out_Cold: vncviewer 192.168.1.x [21:57] tgm, i was told to ssh then vnc? [21:57] how can i use alsa instead of pulse it seems im getting errors that its being used by another program [21:58] is alsa better or pulse === gdb_ is now known as gdb [21:58] Out_Cold: DISPLAY=:0.0 ; vncviewer 192.168.1.x #if you are in ssh shell. [21:58] I'm thinking of setting up apt-proxy on a server and every workstation, and point them all to a common cache directory on the server through nfs. Does it sound reasonable? [21:58] jhaig: you can also try ldx [21:58] Out_Cold: Just got back from the kitchen. What are you trying to do? [21:58] jhaig, http://www.planetwatt.com/ very light ubuntu based distro with lxde [21:59] : / "/usr/bin/vncviewer: 28: java: not found [21:59] " [21:59] ssh then vnc [21:59] i have the restricted extras installed [21:59] What package(s) do I need to install for MKV support?

The only option is 800x600. Me so crazy. [22:12] gerardo_: #ubuntu_es [22:13] crashdata: Any experience with RAID1? [22:13] ok [22:13] Demyon, Wine might work, but it's not perfect. Wouldn't suprise me if it catches fire and crashes. [22:13] spidora: what graphic card do you have? [22:13] lool [22:13] thanks [22:13] i tried on playonlinux too === dalekx is now known as DaLeKx [22:13] spidora: u may be able to update ur videocard driver [22:13] tyler5: it should be the same...what's the problem? are you doing software raid or you have your own raid hardware? [22:14] Snausages,so? [22:14] Jamed: Intel onboard... [22:14] how can i really doing this recording of soundcard? [22:14] could someone with the gedit latex plugin check the command for Latex -> PDF for me in the plugin preferences (the one that opens the pdf in an external viewer)? [22:14] I prepared a usb key to install Karmic onto my EEE 1005HA. I think that I missed out on something in the preparation, because when I try to boot off of it, I get a message that the operating system is missing [22:14] on 8.10, any idea why I get this error? sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found [22:14] Jamed: could you help me get fglrx working i have a Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [22:14] crashdata: I unplugged a drive to test redundancy, the array continued to work so I plugged it back in. Now its not loading the mirror (it should be 2/2 | UU but its 2/1 | U_) and even after I re-added the drive to the array and it re-synced, on reboot it shows the same thing!. It's software RAID. [22:14] how do I add that command? [22:14] i updated my system from jaunty to koala and it seems to be slower, any one have some advice? [22:15] Demyon, if you want to run windows games your best bet is a linux/windows dual-boot. Nothing runs like the native OS. [22:15] add-get should that be apt-get [22:15] spidora: strange, the correct driver should be installed by default. you should try what blood suggested [22:15] Jamed, blood: 'Device' in Screen section of xorg says ""VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] Integrated Video"" [22:15] hi, [22:15] Hey I got it. I installed a driver for my other WiFi card manually.. Actually surprised it worked. [22:16] does anyone know where i can find a tutorial on how to upgrade from Hardy to something newer? [22:16] Xodiac: fglx is an ATi driver, not an Intel one [22:16] but i dont quite know how to andle it so im not sure if i did it right xD [22:16] dethaddr: I would suggest a fresh install. Koala is pretty slow for me too, and I also did an upgrade (although I did not run it very much before the upgrade): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/abnormally-slow-computer-772285/ [22:16] Jamed: My old monitor died in a puff of smoke, so I just installed my new flatscreen. The only problem is that the resolution won't change. [22:16] How do I install a repository from the command line in Ubutu 8.10? [22:16] Jamed: o is there any way i can make my video card perform a lot better [22:16] this is a headless machine [22:16] anyone getting the mtts-corefonts error [22:16] I don't know. I have Intrepid and want Karmic. I want to know where to find instructions on preparing a usb key for my EEEPC [22:16] I started that topic... and when I can get around to it, I'll probably try doing that. [22:17] Xodiac: no, there is only one open source driver for Interl which is installed by default [22:17] Jamed: or test the three d in any way with a program, do you think i can get an actual video card manager like ccc or nvidia [22:17] tyler5: I havent worked with software raid before. it sounds like u've done what could've been done....could be just a bug in the program [22:17] hi, a have problem with aMSN, Help Me [22:17] Jamed: well its not bad thank you [22:17] crashdata: This is a test setup so its not like anything vital is at risk, but I'm intending on setting up a 2x80GB RAID1 array and a 2x500GB RAID0 array with a 1.5TB backup drive for both that _will_ house vital data so I need to know how to fix this -.- [22:17] Xodiac: afaik theres no such programm for intel [22:17] for the record- I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Pentium 3 [22:17] Dantonic: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [22:17] Jamed: o [22:18] I got a new acer e725 and had some issues: wifi worked on jaunty but cable ethernet didnot, after suddenly it changed wifi stoped working ,the cable thing worked... [22:18] crashdata: doubt its a bug, each time it reboots the array continues to say the drive is degraded -.- [22:18] spidora: whats the native resolution of your monitor= [22:18] Jamed: well thanks for the help i guess i just use to using ati video cards [22:18] if anyone wants to answer my question, please tell me [22:18] Jamed: Intel onboard "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] Integrated Video" [22:19] anyone here know anything about dofu? [22:19] rstob911 so it's wget? [22:19] sburwood, sure one sec [22:19] spidora: not the videocard, the monitor [22:19] spidora: it seems that ur pc is not detecting the monitors resolution [22:19] Jamed: I am unsure of the native resolution. [22:19] Dantonic: yes [22:19] Ideas about setting up debtorrent? [22:19] spidora: have no clue then, sorry [22:19] xrandr [22:19] tyler5: try reposting your question again. i haven't messed around with software raid. [22:19] Docs? Links? [22:19] got a new acd kde issues with plasmaty has driver aner e 725 with dualboot xp and jaunty and xp wont shut down,jaun [22:20] s [22:20] crashdata: thanks anyway. [22:20] sburwood, you grabed the netbook remix, right? [22:20] blood: It's one of those shit chinese flatscreens that was on sale at Walmart on black friday. It's a "SanSui" [22:20] So, I have my server over there across the room, I'd like to screen +x my irssi session. How do I get it to boot into screen without touching anything? [22:20] I tried that, but also the desktop of Karmic [22:20] rstob911, so I'm following some instructions on how to install freenx, and one of the lines I'm supposed to enter is: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team" How would I add that repository with wget? [22:20] spidora: i found this site http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-adjust-screen-resolution-on-ubuntu.html [22:20] tyler5: good luck, sometimes the answer is probably very trivial... [22:20] Evening all. After updating to 9.10, my Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard and mouse work great. . . for about 15 min. Then It disconnects and I have to shut down and reconnect manually. any help? Thanks! [22:21] I downloaded the iso onto my desktop computer [22:21] I have a RAID1 array and tested the redundancy by removing one drive, it worked flawlessly!. Now I re-plugged it in and am trying to re-sync with the array but each time I reboot it continues to only load one mirror and says that the drive is degraded!. [22:21] Please help. [22:21] how can i change gdm theme in karmic koala [22:21] The auto-complete in my terminal seems to not be working. Any suggestions? [22:21] Dantonic: it would be my guess [22:21] I then used usb-creator to make the usb key [22:21] ? [22:21] After installing karmic from alternate cd, CLI only I installed gnome and gdm, but gdmsetup doesn't show theme choices, I installed gdm-themes too [22:21] sburwood: Ask your question on one line. [22:21] but I have the impression that I'm missing something [22:21] I have a RAID1 array and tested the redundancy by removing one drive, it worked flawlessly!. Now I re-plugged it in and am trying to re-sync with the array but each time I reboot it continues to only load one mirror and says that the drive is degraded!. [22:21] Dantonic: in 8.10 add-apt-repository is not used yet; wget is just to download stuff; you need to add the deb and deb-src lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and then add the key, then 'sudo apt-get update' [22:21] sburwood, and? [22:21] tyler5: Repeating too often. [22:22] Dantonic: you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, I think "sudo add-apt-repository" only works for ppa. Check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [22:22] VCoolio, I see thank you [22:22] thanks epinky, VCoolio, rstob911 [22:22] you know that when you load a correctly prepared usb key, you get extlinux-ro and casper-rw? I don't [22:23] Dantonic: here is a link that explains some more https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware [22:23] tyler5: sounds like the resync isn't working. Some RAID1 systems can only do a blind resync, takes hours... are you rebooting before the resync completes? [22:23] how to install the originel intel wifi driver in jaunty? [22:23] and when I boot off of my usb key, it tells me that the operating system is missing [22:23] Is there a better place to ask about a minimal Ubuntu install? [22:24] tr_: sure [22:24] howcome its not possible to create a floppy bootdisk? [22:24] tr_: What are you looking for? [22:24] tr_: just install ubuntu 0.1? [22:24] crashdata: it is [22:24] 1.0* [22:24] actionparsnip: what program do i use? [22:25] blood: That's not how it works. [22:25] Snausages: Resync shows completion, it takes roughly 1.4 hours to resync my 250GB HDD array so... yeah... its getting annoying ^.^ [22:25] Does anybody have any hints about keeping a rocketfish bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected in KK? [22:25] crashdata: you can use the floppy to boot CD for systems which can't boot CD: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50344 [22:25] blood: 1.0 is out of date. Try 9.10 [22:25] I installed a cli only install from 9.10 alternate, then installed gdm gnome and gdm-themes, now gdmsetup doesn't show tabs for themes [22:25] I dont think there is a "minimal" ubuntu distro [22:26] sburwood, So you got the usb-creator.exe off the remix iso and used that? [22:26] tr_: The new GDM doesn't support themes yet, as far as I'm aware [22:26] !minimal [22:26] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:26] blood: Sure there is, you install the base system without a GUI [22:26] Snausages: Here is one of the threads I made about this issue, it details my kernel log on bootup. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1340532 [22:26] ActionParsnip: that's just the minimal CD, not a minimal install [22:26] blood: theres also ulite [22:26] actionparsnip: my problem is not booting CD the problem is for some reason my Raid0 and Win 7 woun't let me have a dual boot [22:26] Flannel: ok, so maybe I downgrade to the legacy gdm if I want themes. [22:26] tr_: does that help? [22:27] blood: yes there is a minimal https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:27] actionparsnip: i know back in the old linux days we can have lilo/grub on the floppy [22:27] tr_: you can do a command line install with the alternative cd, which is pretty small [22:27] blood: xubuntu. headless. LXDE. [22:27] blood: yeah, that is probably my issue [22:27] rstob911, blood: that's merely a minimal CD, not a minimal install. The "minimal" install is available on the minimal CD or the alternate CD. [22:27] tyler5: you're in deeper than I know how to fix, sorry [22:27] Snausages: thanks anyway :) [22:27] I opened usb creator and put the iso file in the one part and put the usb key in the place in usb-creator and asked it to do its thing. It came back telling me that it had done its thing and that the key was prepared [22:27] yay! [22:27] what would be the best way to create a symlink from /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyS4 everytime I plugg in my usbserial adapter? [22:27] tr_: look into ulite, its very minimal [22:28] trism: yeah, that's what I have done... i thought that was the issue, but apparently its a function of the newer version of gdm [22:28] trism: That's what he said he did. Please pay attention, it's dangerous when you provide support without doing so. [22:28] blood: looks like 800x600 is the only available resolution. Thanks for the article. [22:28] helly [22:28] how can i change gmd theme in karmic [22:28] Anyone know why my audio is in double time? [22:28] ??

[22:29] ScabbyMadman: sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB4 /dev/ttyUSB0 [22:29] ScabbyMadman: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4 [22:29] And now everything is chipmunk [22:29] !yay | Dantonic [22:29] Dantonic: Glad you made it! :-) [22:29] ScabbyMadman: But is that really what you need? [22:29] What keyword would I need to feed Google to get it to show me how to get my 6.10 server to boot, logged in and showing screen? [22:29] Flannel: Then there is no way to change gdm theme??? [22:29] im looking for a wireless g/n usb adapter that just works, i dont mind reinstalling a driver or two, any suggestions? [22:29] ScabbyMadman: any symlink is: ln -s source destination [22:29] spidora: np. [22:29] where are devices are usb thumb drives connected to ? fdisk -l doesnt show them ...this is on powerpc arch [22:30] Flannel: sorry, I just came back, guess I didn't read back far enough, my mistake [22:30] ActionParsnip, tgm That far I get but I want to automate the link so a regular can use the device without su'ing to root, making the link...and so on ... [22:30] arunvkumarkc1: I don't believe there's an easy way, no. [22:30] Rabbitbunny2: Can you re-phrase your question? [22:30] Rabbitbunny2: 6.10 is end of life. you might need to upgrade.. you're not even receiving security updates anymore [22:30] hikenboot: unplug the device, wait 10 seconds, connect the device, wait 10 seconds, then run: dmesg | tail [22:30] hikenboot: check in media [22:30] scunizi: It's internal use only, I don't care. [22:30] Flannel: If it is a difficult one.. no prob... I'll give a try!!!:) [22:31] ScabbyMadman: the link will always be there, it will be a broken link until the modem is connected [22:31] I basically need to know how to create a share on my one PC and sort of set it as the 'default path' to look in when my netbook does a LAN boot (which it has the capability to do by default) [22:31] tgm: I want it to boot, log itself in, and show me the process 'screen', asif I had logged in and typed 'screen irssi' [22:31] ActionParsnip, not on a hardware reset, [22:31] Rabbitbunny2: What is it doing? Whereis it hanging? [22:31] I don't understand what I have done wrong or what I haven't done right, but I know I am missing something [22:31] ActionParsnip, that symlink gets cleared every restart [22:31] Snausages: I wonder if you have to take the Array offline before resyncing?.... [22:31] tgm: It's waiting for me to log in? [22:32] Snausages: No idea. [22:32] Rabbitbunny2: tgm he wants the server to auto login [22:32] sburwood: ur probably right ;) [22:32] hikenboot: if ts not showing in fdisk -l the dmesg will show why its not showing. If it has been in a windows system i suggest you reinsert it and use the "safetly remove hardware" [22:32] sburwood, hmm. Didi you format the drive first? Also, please append my nick to your messages so I can find them easier. [22:32] Rabbitbunny2: You don't need to log in as long as the server is running, that is all that counts, right? [22:32] Rabbitbunny2: You can get irssi to do it's thing with your screenrc === [newbie] is now known as RussellAlan [22:32] Rabbitbunny2: Why do you need to login? [22:32] Flannel: I think u also don't know how to change the gdm theme in karmic????? [22:33] ScabbyMadman: i think /dev is on tempfs, yuo could add the symlink creation bit in /etc/rc.local [22:33] tgm: Because it's sitting across the room and sometimes I reboot it via ssh. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [22:33] Ashfire, how do I format it in Linux? I haven't found that. I know that Windows has that. [22:33] Rabbitbunny2: What is it not doing that you need it to do? [22:33] Flannel: Yeah, I have it running screen when it boots, just not showing it on the monitor. [22:33] ActionParsnip, thanks Ill have a look [22:33] tgm: logging in by itself. [22:33] sburwood, oh, you are in linux? [22:33] how can I get karmic to recognize usb 2.0 devices? [22:33] Rabbitbunny2: Loging into what>? [22:34] tgm: tty1 [22:34] Rabbitbunny2: Er, if you have it running when it boots, aren't you already doing what you want to accomplish? or am I misunderstanding === XLV_ is now known as XLV [22:34] boobsbr, it ought to already recognize usb2 unless youre on old hardware [22:34] I have 2 computers, both running Intrepid. [22:34] Rabbitbunny2: not gonna happen and do not see why you need it to. [22:34] the ubuntu-software-center in karmic will say a application didn't install correctly but then it shows up in the menu and when i restart the software center it shows the application is installed. is this a bug? [22:34] ActionParsnip, curious its dmesg says its a scsi device...how would i format it [22:34] Rabbitbunny2: It is a server, right? [22:34] ciao [22:35] Ashfire, I have a desktop that can access Internet and an EEEPC 1005 that can't find wifi [22:35] Flannel: I want it shown on the screen when it boots, Sometimes i want to watch top, or irssi, or scripts I write. As it is i have to walk over there, login, steal the screen session, then come back over here and multiplex it for control. [22:35] hikenboot: use: gksudo gparted [22:35] Rabbitbunny2: Aha. You'll want to set it up to auto-login, and then reattach it === travis is now known as Guest76514 [22:35] sburwood, open Computer, right click the drive, format. [22:36] ScabbyMadam, my mobo is a MSI DKA 790GX, which is not old. but all external usb 2.0 storages always get slow speeds, and dmesg shows the devices as usb 1.1 [22:36] buonasera [22:36] !it > enzo [22:36] Flannel: Is there another word for when it doesn't have X? it's CLI only, but Google only tells me about haxoring gdm. [22:36] enzo, please see my private message [22:36] ScabbyMadman: my mobo is a MSI DKA 790GX, which is not old. but all external usb 2.0 storages always get slow speeds, and dmesg shows the devices as usb 1.1 [22:36] sburwood, use fat (the non-linux kind). Then try making the usb. [22:36] Rabbitbunny2: You're wanting to log into a tty (or specifically, a getty) automatically. I know you can, because I helped someone set it up a few years ago. [22:36] italy [22:37] Ashfire, when I tried to install Karmic on the desktop, I got an error message that initrd was too big. [22:37] boobsbr, do you have a utility called hal-device-manager ?

It will give the what devices are mounted where. (this stuff doesn't apply in karmic, there's a disk utility program). [22:45] akav: I believe so. You can double check by making sure userdir.conf and .load are in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ [22:45] akav: If they're not, simply sudo a2enmod userdir and restart apache [22:45] ActionParsnip: I have searched for ehci_hcd on karmic posts but haven't found anything [22:45] Flannel, or you can do sudo a2enmod userdir [22:46] ActionParsnip: thanks :) [22:46] oopsy, you're on top of that :) [22:46] boobsbr, looks like youdo have a usb2 hub onboard.

[22:46] ScabbyMadman: still get usb 1.1 speeds === Guest76514 is now known as hi [22:47] Flannel: Sweet, the a2enmod userdir command was the key. It hadn't been enabled yet. [22:47] Flannel, thanks! === hi is now known as Guest40540 [22:47] andresmh_: I think it's libstdc++6 now [22:47] Hello. Since Karmic came out I have not been able to wrap Firefox with padsp. I've searched daily for a remedy for this with no success. Does anyone know of a fix for this yet? [22:47] any suggestions for a package in the repos that will access Remember the Milk? [22:48] akav: That effectively just symlinks stuff from mods-available to mods-enabled, a2dismod (ENable, DISable) will disable stuff too, when you want to do that. [22:48] buonasera [22:48] I cant for the life of me get virtualbox`s VRDP thing to work.... whats up with it???

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:48] scunizi: Isn't there a Firefox addon for that? [22:48] epinky, yeah, but a java app requires libstdc++5 to run [22:48] I1m trying the terminal server client program and rdesktop and it wont connect. [22:48] my scanner is returning this error: WARNING: Unhandled message: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable, path=/, member=Introspect IT WORKED FINE in 9.04 and WIN XP -- what's up with this? [22:49] Ashfire, I did that - after umounting /dev/sdb1 (which was with /media/UDISK [22:49] genii: I don't know [22:49] can libstdc++5 and 6 coexist or do I have remove one to get the other one? [22:49] I'd like to fix a bug in gnome-terminal. What's the easiest way for me to compile it locally? [22:49] padsp worked perfectly with Firefox in Jaunty... [22:49] !souce | bobrown` [22:49] sburwood, ok, so format it now. [22:49] !source | bobrown` [22:49] bobrown`: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [22:49] blue1: run: lsusb websearch for the 8 character hex IS for the scanner [22:49] whenever i run any game (native OR wine, doesn't matter) i lose sound in the whole system and i have to restart pulseaudio to gain audio back. any ideas? [22:49] genii: but I'll look.. thanks for the suggestion [22:50] andresmh_: afaik libstdc++5c won't work on Karmic, you can make a logical link with "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5" [22:50] scunizi: RTM is apparently based on google gears, and tasque apparently is a desktop client for GNOME for it (and is in the repos) [22:50] posso avere aiuto in italiano ?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:50] is there something i need to ajust in my ubuntu network settings? [22:50] scunizi: gnomedo is a neat program that allows quick access to RTM if that's the kind of thing you're looking for [22:50] i got slow newtorking spees when i installed ubuntu 9.10, and i'm not familliar with linux at all, when i copy over a file to my desktop from my smb share on my other windwos system i get about 3MB/s [22:50] but if i leave ubuntu and boot with windows then i get 11MB/s from system to system [22:50] ZaNeIuM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] hi, i need some help to get my system booting ... i moved the system from one disk to another, but it will not boot anymore [22:50] Ashfire, I did ... I think. Was it just sudo mkfs.msdos /dev/sdb1 or rather /media/UDISK? [22:50] ActionParsnip: this is what I got: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317 [22:50] what programs do i need to put netbook remix on usb? [22:51] LjL: thanks. Grabbing the source with apt-get is easier than pulling it from a git repository? [22:51] come faccio per andare su #ubuntu-it ? [22:51] sburwood, you need to give the device file. [22:51] enzo: SCRIVI /join #ubuntu-it [22:51] hey guise anyone else having problems with file uploads? I can't upload videos to youtube nor pics to flickr from any browser... [22:51] enzo: chiedette a #ubuntu-it, questo canale solo l'inglese "/join #ubuntu-it" [22:51] Ashfire, that means /dev/... [22:51] blue1: great, see what that brings up. Maybe there is a bug with the version of sane you have with the scanner [22:51] epinky, I did the symbolic linking but I don't think it liked it. I got this /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found [22:52] bobrown`: i don't know, but by grabbing it with apt-get you'll get the same version that's in ubuntu, and it's certainly not difficult. have you read that page? it also specifies how to build it [22:52] I found the .deb package for libstdc++5, will it break my karmic if I install it? [22:52] ActionParsnip: did you not get my last message? Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317 [22:52] sburwood, sorry, yes. === Fallen_ is now known as Fallenou [22:52] blue1: yes and i responded [22:52] Ashfire, now, do I need to do something before and or after usb-creator? [22:53] hey guise anyone else having problems with file uploads? I can't upload videos to youtube nor pics to flickr from any browser... [22:53] blue1: websearch the output === Guest62602 is now known as les [22:53] sburwood, you *shouldn't* have to. [22:53] ActionParsnip: okay - well honestly -- I don't know where to go from here [22:53] LjL: yes, just read the page ... downloading now ... will try compiling in a minute or two .... [22:53] ScabbyMadman: looking at ActionParsnip's link, how do I load ehci_hcd on karmic64? the module does not exist on my installation [22:53] boobsbr, seems that the usb stuff is builtin in the kernel [22:54] Ashfire, so usb-creator should suffice so I will see casper-rw and extlinux-ro? [22:54] blue1: copy the output and paste it into www.ask.com or www.yahoo.com or whatever and you will find guides or a bug report [22:54] boobsbr, i.e the controller modules [22:54] sburwood, where did you hear you need those folders? [22:54] ScabbyMadman: so, I got no hopes of getting decent usb speeds? [22:54] ok [22:54] andresmh_: install compat-libstdc++, compat-libstdc++-devel and libstdc++-devel, install everything about libstdc++ [22:54] LjL: I got an error ... hash sum mismatch. [22:54] boobsbr, I wouldnt give so easily [22:54] sburwood, just wondering. And you can't format while mounted. [22:55] boobsbr, do you have another usn2.0 device lying around? [22:55] usb2.0 [22:55] anyone knows why my envyng wont start up? [22:55] boobsbr, do you have another usb2.0 device lying around? [22:55] Hello. Any one here experienced with MTP and willing to give a bit of help ? [22:55] scunizi: A few different methods of RTM monitoring are also shown at http://maketecheasier.com/accessing-remember-the-milk-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/2008/06/09 [22:55] is there somthing i can check for in my network settings? [22:55] ScabbyMadman: just an external hd formatted in ext3 and an ipod formatted on fat32 [22:55] Ashfire, I admit (you should have noticed a long time ago) that I am a n00b. I had a friend who works in the computer dept at the hospital where I work prepare the Intrepid usb key [22:55] Anyone know how to get padsp to work with Firefox in Karmic? [22:56] and the ipod does it also show as 1.1usb? [22:56] Thanks Flannel and xo_ .. maybe on my more uptodate machine.. this lappy is still running 8.04 until the next lts [22:56] Ashfire ... and when I plug in his key, it shows both of them [22:56] is linux generally slow when using smb shares? [22:56] ZaNeIuM, relative to what? [22:57] but if i leave ubuntu and boot with windows then i get 11MB/s from system to system [22:57] genii: yep saw that link.. might be tough to do on 8.04 but I'll check it out .. thnaks [22:57] i get about 3MB/s when im in ubuntu ScabbyMadman [22:57] I got a process (pid 6120) which is resisting everything. uninterruptible, waiting on request_wait_answer [22:57] i tried kill -9, xkill, everything [22:58] any idea? [22:58] Ashfire, so, while netbook would be safer for an EEEPC, I want to be able to use it for the laptop. Also, when I tried to install Karmic on the desktop, on reboot, it told me that the initrd was too big. What does that mean? [22:58] sburwood, eh, there are worse people than you. I don't have a usb install drive on me, but those folders could appear after you first boot with it. I could bore you with what those folders are for, but they shouldn't be needed. [22:58] ZaNeIuM, have you tweaked the smb.config? [22:58] no i am not familliar with linux at all [22:58] sburwood, I would recommend netbook remix for a netbook, and desktop for laptop. [22:59] Adys: if "sudo kill -9" didn't kill it, nothing will do it [22:59] ZaNeIuM, you can twiddle a few settings to improve performance [22:59] yea that didnt :\ [22:59] boobsbr, what gives? [23:00] Ashfire, would using the wrong one threaten to damage the netbook? [23:00] if even i could find such a file, i'd not be able to edit in in linux, if i was in windwos thats a different story. [23:00] sburwood, again, I could bore you with what initrd does, but I guess the initrd is the wrong size/corrupt, or it's too big and can't be loaded. [23:00] Adys: sudo kill -9 6120 will stop it dead, no questions asked [23:00] well it didnt [23:00] how to get UPS mustek 600 to work? [23:00] ActionParsnip: I am trying to file a bug on launchpad - but I am in a circular loop I'll try tomorrow. [23:00] ScabbyMadman what should i change, where is the file? [23:00] ZaNeIuM, so you do not admin the samba box yourself? [23:00] Ashfire, and is there a way to repair initrd to be the right size? [23:00] sudo ln -s //media/sdb1/tools $Rain/tools [23:00] ZaNeIuM: try uncommenting the tcp no delay line [23:00] i can't find any new information on flash bugs in 9.10 64-bit... anybody know any recent information on this? using the latest flash player from adobe hasn't resolved either 1) choppy flash video or 2) inability to click on flash buttons for me [23:00] oops [23:01] ActionParsnip, took the worda out of my mouth [23:01] ActionParsnip on the linux box, or the windwos system? [23:01] sburwood, no, you can use one on the other. just that netbook is designed to work better on a small screen like a netbook. Desktop is clunky on a netbook, while netbook remix is a bit clunkly on a laptop [23:01] yeck [23:01] ActionParsnip: well it didnt [23:01] ZaNeIuM: the line that says: socket options = TCP_NODELAY on the linux system [23:01] ZaNeIuM, he means on the linux box [23:02] I'm having issues opening text files with "Document viewer" .. it reports bad mimi type.. gedit opens it though.. Is this typical of document viewer? [23:02] sburwood, I don't know that error, so I don't even know if that's it. Did you install desktop on the desktop? [23:02] Ashfire, thanks for your patience [23:02] Hello, I've just added another network to my system. how do I set it up? how do I know what ethxx it is? [23:02] where is this file to edit? [23:02] how do i delete a symlink? [23:02] Ashfire, yes I did [23:02] Hello, I've just added another network to my system. how do I set it up? how do I know what ethxx it is? - running ubuntu server 9.04 [23:02] ZaNeIuM: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf as uncomment the line, then run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [23:02] ScabbyMadman: I'm sorry, the ipod is acting funny [23:02] mark__ should be automatic detection [23:03] ActionParsnip, should we tell ZaNeIuM about the slick config utility found in the swat utility? [23:03] does anyone have any idea why xubuntu goes back to the long in screen when I use certain programs or go on certain websites. the program is Wah!cade for mame, and on firefox certain websites after extended time or just going to them initially make this happen. [23:03] ScabbyMadman: ok, same slow speeds on the ipod [23:03] gedti? [23:03] ScabbyMadman: i don't use it, i use the conf file, its simple enough [23:03] sburwood, it's either a hardware, grub, or initrd file issue. That's all I can guess for. I'm looking up the error now. [23:03] gedit*? [23:03] blood : thats what I thought, however I've edited /etc/network/interfaces and changed the eth0 to eth1, but its not working [23:03] is there some way to set the nice level for the flash plugin? [23:04] hi [23:04] Guys, best C++ compiler for Ubuntu? [23:04] ActionParsnip what does this mean? as uncomment the line [23:04] what is ubuntu [23:04] boobsbr, so have you also tried booting from a livecd of ubuntu and then plugging in the devices? [23:04] Jukos: GCC? [23:04] Thanks [23:04] I'll check it out [23:05] ScabbyMadman: no, haven't tied it out yet. will do next time I get a chance to reboot [23:05] ZaNeIuM: in that file there is a line which says "# socket options = TCP_NODELAY" remove the "#" character, save thew new file and restart the service [23:05] krazykrivda: An operating system based on linux [23:05] * shrike-9 cumprimenta [23:05] ok thank you very much [23:05] ZaNeIuM: in linux a # means ignore the text to the right [23:05] mark__ my eth0 changes when i chant the port i connect to on my router. [23:06] what's the connection to android [23:06] boobsbr, other than that you could take the config file from the .boot dir and roll your own kernel but set the options for the usb interfaces tobe modules instead of builtins [23:06] ah, like rem was to the commodore 64 [23:06] ZaNeIuM: indeed [23:06] scunizi: tasque probably didn't exist for Hardy (It certainly wasn't in the repos), but its depends look low even, you could try backporting it [23:06] !prevu | scunizi [23:06] scunizi: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [23:06] Ashfire, I just tried the usb key on the EEE, and still the missing operating system error [23:06] ScabbyMadman: you mean compile the kernel and set the options with menuconfig? [23:07] Imagine a gentoobuild on a commodore 64 with 2 cassette drives [23:07] boobsbr, yes [23:07] Does any of you managed to connect a MTP mp3 player to your 9.10 Ubuntu distro ? [23:07] or boobsbr make xconfig [23:07] so you think that will bring me up to full speed like i was getting when i booted to windows, i was then getting 11MB/s as apposded to using ubuntu at 3MB/s [23:07] mgmuscari: nice flash?, mmmm, maybe you can "nice" or "renice" your browser [23:07] Flannel: thanks.. I'll look at it.. repos definetely don't have it.. compiling came up with errors due to old version dependancies.. [23:07] sburwood, if memory hole is an option in your bios it looks like you should disable it (on your desktop). Still looking. [23:07] blood : how do I know what the new nic name is? such as eth0, 1,2 e.t.c. [23:07] ScabbyMadman: you can run a cli based distro on an atari st [23:07] really really random.. does anyone know anything bout HD radio [23:08] epinky: yeah... i'm trying renicing firefox to no avail :'( [23:08] hola! [23:08] blood : using ubuntu-server, no X [23:08] ScabbyMadman: ok, only did that once to get reiserfs support on 7.10 but wth, why not give it a try [23:08] Konichiwa [23:08] scunizi: prevu makes everything simple... especially if you don't have to backport any depencencies (which may or may not be the case) [23:08] not all flash videos are choppy... codec problem? [23:08] How can I change the color depth to 8-bit, or at least make an application in Wine think I did? [23:08] I'm working on some linux hardening; We've debated everything from chroots to kvm... selinux... we're looking to host apache with *SQL, ssh, ftp, etc... basically a web server [23:08] ActionParsnip, yeah theyre motorola 60 series cpus [23:08] thats 68 series [23:08] Any ideas on making a secure web server? My biggest fear is if someone finds a 'sploit in our kernel [23:08] ActionParsnip: You can run one on the Nintendo DS, too. And certain toasters. [23:08] ninjaII: why not just use openbsd [23:08] to anyone running 9.10... is this video choppy for you? http://www.artlies.com/films/world-builder.html [23:09] mgmuscari: sudo nice -n -20 firefox & [23:09] mgmuscari firefox? [23:09] mark__: Eth0 is just the name, its setting can varry. am i right? [23:09] firefox or chromium [23:09] LimCore: BSD vs Linux... the kernels themselves are assumed to be safe, but afa a security compromise goes, I wager they're both the same [23:09] scunizi: Oh, I take that back. There's some mono bindings that don't look like they'll behave themselves [23:09] epinky: -20, woah thats not gonna be good [23:09] ninjaII: linux kernel is not so safe. OpenBSD is better [23:09] i'm using the latest alpha release of the 64 bit flash player from adobe... thought that would help, didn't [23:09] sburwood, did you run a checksum on your netbook iso? [23:09] the 10.1 version [23:10] ? [23:10] ScabbyMadman: do you think this is problem is the same reason I get the same speeds on eSata? [23:10] ninjaII: serious security -> #openbsd [23:10] Ashfire, I can't find memory hole on the EEE [23:10] mgmuscari: firefox is rubbish with ram, chromium is way better as is arora [23:10] can some one help we work out why i keep crashing , not sure what im looking for [23:10] also tried turning off CPU scaling and setting both cores to 2.53GHz... [23:10] boobsbr, hard to say [23:10] Ashfire, run a checksum ... What does that mean? I can't run a marathon [23:10] mgmuscari: ActionParsnip: ok ok, sudo nice -n -10 firefox & [23:10] sburwood, no, no the hole is for your desktop. [23:10] ActionParsnip: flash is choppy in chromium as well === naruto_cs is now known as PeTuNiO_21 [23:10] mgmuscari: this video (http://www.artlies.com/films/world-builder.html) is fluid for me on ubuntu 9.10 quad core nvidia [23:10] renicing it makes no difference [23:11] hmmm i wonder if it could be fglrx [23:11] where are symlinks created/stored [23:11] Ashfire, ok,, but I can't look at the desktop now, as it's the only thing that connects to the Internet [23:11] mgmuscari: watch it in mplayer ;f [23:11] mgmuscari: flash just sucks with ram [23:11] i don't think ram is my problem... i've got 4gb [23:11] sburwood, but you can run a program no? :) Obviously you didn't it's to check if the iso file is vaild (checking the hashsum of the file is what it is supposted to be, hence checksum) [23:12] Ashfire, so I would need to disable the memory hole in this desktop for initrd to "shrink" to an acceptable size? [23:12] ff is only consuming 12% cpu right now. i'm wondering if this has something to do with codecs or video drivers [23:12] ScabbyMadman: funny, now nautilus lists the speed at 40 MB/s but going down [23:12] I have a RAID1 array and tested the redundancy by removing one drive, it worked flawlessly!. Now I re-plugged it in and am trying to re-sync with the array but each time I reboot it continues to only load one mirror and says that the drive is degraded!. [23:12] ninjaII: at least use grsecurity [23:12] ninjaII: I would look at that topic but I do not have time now. Would you like to join me? limcore@jabber.org [23:12] Ashfire, please give me the command to run [23:12] Ashfire, for the running of the checksum [23:13] sburwood, no, the bios option doesn't shink it. It looks just to cause an issue. [23:13] sburwood, one sec... [23:13] when did 9.10 arive?? [23:13] blood: 1 full of bugs month ago [23:13] blood: The end of October [23:13] mgmuscari: i get 10% less cpu use using flash compared to firefox [23:13] blood - end of October [23:13] i c [23:13] hello, i'm trying to install winff, but i keep getting this error "winff: Depends: ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed [23:13] ScabbyMadman: could this be a fragmentation problem? maybe one of the drives is dying? [23:14] does anyone have Starcraft running at native performance in wine or cedega? there's a lot of lag in mouse responsiveness for me [23:14] ActionParsnip: there isn't any difference between chromium, firefox, or epiphany in this case [23:14] Limcore, what do you mean about bugs? Is my initrd problem one such bug? [23:14] it's either the flash player binary from adobe, a video/audio codec, or fglrx [23:14] ActionParsnip: got bug filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/490132 thanks for your help! [23:15] i've seen a few bug reports related to this, but all of them were related to the intel video drivers... i'm using fglrx so i don't see a connection there [23:16] mgmuscari: tried arora or kazehakase [23:16] sburwood, run md5sum on the iso file. You will get a md5 sum for the file (it will be a mess of letters and numbers). for the 9.10 netbook remix it should be ed6e77587b87fe0d92a2f21855869f00 [23:16] I just plugged in a usb mouse, how do i load drivers for it? [23:16] I dont suppose there's a list of PPAs anywhere? [23:16] ActionParsnip: pretty sure changing browsers isn't going to make a difference [23:16] howie: doesn't need any [23:16] sburwood, info on it is available from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [23:16] unles he has IE ;) [23:17] mgmuscari: possibly [23:17] ActionParsnip: its not working [23:17] are there any settings for the flash player that i can tweak? it doesn't seem very configurable [23:17] i'd like to try changing the rendering mode or turning hardware acceleration on/off [23:17] I have a RAID1 array and tested the redundancy by removing one drive, it worked flawlessly!. Now I re-plugged it in and am trying to re-sync with the array but each time I reboot it continues to only load one mirror and says that the drive is degraded!. [23:18] Anyone know if the developers are trying to fix all the bugs in pulseaudio integration in the 9.10 release. Ive installed on 3 different machines and all 3 experience many sound issues. Im crossing my fingers that its fixed by 10.04 LTS or I fear I may have to jump ship. [23:18] tyler5: sounds like you need to fix it from your raid bios [23:18] tyler5: software or hardware raid? [23:18] hi I was wondreing how i burn the ubuntu image in a way that will avoid errors? [23:18] kale: Software [23:19] linuxguy2009: my solution to problems with PA this time around was to run it as a system daemon and lower its niceness [23:19] tyler5: good [23:19] kale: Not BIOS or dedicated :) [23:19] VAMPJOSEPH: BURN SLOW AND STEADY [23:19] oopps [23:19] tyler5: mdadm --examine [23:19] i'm new to ubuntu and want to install a software. how do i install from the ubuntu software center when it doesn't offer an "install" button?

If not Im about to go back to that release. [23:21] tyler5: oh, output of "id" please [23:21] VampJoseph, no I mean did you checksum it? [23:21] Or even distro shop.

[23:23] well, i'm gonna give up on my flash problem for now [23:23] thanks [23:23] later [23:24] VampJoseph, the error was with the iso you are using?

[23:25] I'm installing Ubuntu on a virtual machin and the image seems to be fine [23:25] VampJoseph, did you check the md5sum against the one here to see if it's right? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [23:25] anyone can recomend me a good graphic program to manage my grub2 config file? [23:25] tyler5: heh, sorry, i meant /usr/bin/mdadm [23:26] oh no, I checked the disc for errors from the disc boot menu [23:26] kale: Nothing, I think its not working because I am rebuilding the array atm [23:26] tyler5: please do not think, please find out [23:26] VampJoseph, Did that give an error? [23:26] is this new gdm temporarily? or here to stay? why would they cut the more useful features [23:26] Ashfire908: it just said that there was 1 error in 1 file [23:27] kale: I used sudo mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdb about fourty minutes ago and it worked fine :) [23:27] How do I go about mounting my Ubuntu 9.10 ext4 .disk file in windows? [23:27] * kale shoots sudo [23:27] * jrib sudo shoots kale [23:27] mythguy: thats unsupported [23:27] VampJoseph, check the iso file you downloaded. if the md5 doesn't match, your iso file is corrupt and you need to redownload it. [23:27] MythGuy: I don't think windows support ext4 [23:27] kale: current status: http://pastebin.com/d5c0c1ad0 [23:27] tyler5: status of mdadm?

[23:28] tyler5: or status of mdstat [23:28] What has the best shot of doing it? [23:28] kale: mdstat. [23:28] devin: it's apparently a complete rewrite, so it's probably here to stay, and will get its features back (plus new ones) in the future... [23:28] tyler5: what i need to know is if the mdadm binary is working [23:28] I'm having troubles with the autokey application. I get an error when i launch it like this : Unable to connect to EvDev daemon: [23:28] tyler5: when you ran the "id" command, how did you tun it? [23:28] MythGuy, I've looked at doing that. I could barley find a way to mount ext3 via third party drivers, and no support for ext4 at all. Everything I found was sketchy. [23:28] hi .. I have 2 computers , both running ubuntu and one of them I am playing songs .. I want the other to be able to listen to them over the network, I enabled 'Allow Network Access' in padevchooser on the server, what do I need to do in the client ? I can't see 'connect' or something anywhere [23:28] ¿Does anybody knows how to solve this problem [23:29] Kale: Ah, mdadm is in a different place. /sbin/mdadm [23:29] kale: let me do the command now [23:29] Hi [23:29] tyler5: sorry, i cannot help you [23:29] how to rm all hidden folders?

Are you using the usb startup disk creator program and if so what options did you use? [23:30] kale: http://pastebin.com/m344c5f05 [23:30] kale: There you go [23:30] owen1: easiest is to tick on 'show hidden folders' and delete them .. rm .* could cause serious messes [23:30] (in nautilius) [23:30] didn't see any options [23:30] Ashfire, didn't see any options [23:30] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link. I'll try it out! [23:30] DaZ: works, thanks [23:30] MythGuy: i dont use windows so cant assure success [23:31] MythGuy: I was unhappy with windows ext2 'support' and don't know of any ext4 support. The best solution is probably to serve the disk contents over the net via smb... [23:31] duryodhan: i use the terminal. rm -r .* did it. [23:31] kale: sorry about that :/ [23:31] sburwood, at the bottom. look for discard on shutdown. [23:31] owen1: why did you remove them? [23:32] losha: I'm trying to fix GRUB. Ubuntu isn't boot at all, so that's not an option. [23:32] hi [23:32] owen1: .* also includes .. and . , I don't know what exactly happened there , but I hope your computer isn't bombed [23:32] kale: Any idea? [23:32] tyler5: how did you run the "id" command? [23:32] MythGuy: you can't boot a live cd? [23:32] DaZ: that was not something nice you told owen1 [23:32] MythGuy, use a live cd. I think there should be a repair option, though it might be on the alternate disk now. [23:32] How to build kernel? [23:32] Ashfire, so I should discard on shutdown?

[23:33] duryodhan: so i guess it's ok [23:33] VampJoseph, yep, your ISO file is bad. redownload it.

[23:34] kale: Yeah, because this is just a test setup atm. [23:34] sburwood, ... I'm sorry, I don't know why it doesn't work. [23:34] yester64: maybe there are some cheeky settings you need [23:34] ActionParsnip: I installed with the Wubi installer. The Linux "partition" is a disk image.

[23:34] lstarnes: yes. it wasn't my home. [23:34] Hi, has anybody had any problems with external drives showing up twice in the mount applet for the panel? [23:34] tyler5: ok, rest of commands are for root [23:34] sburwood, Random stab, the usb creator has a format function, have you tried that too? [23:34] MythGuy: not sure, i dont use wubi and really disagree with the idea [23:35] ashfire: i installed it on a virtual machine and the image was working fine [23:35] tyler5: mdadm --misc --examine /dev/sdb [23:35] I did try install-mbr as well as syslinux with my usb key [23:35] MythGuy: unfortunately, wubi isn't very popular, so we don't have nearly as much experience with it as we do with regular installs... :-( [23:35] VampJoseph, Doesn't matter, it's bad. And were you using easy install with vmware workstation> [23:36] kale: http://pastebin.com/m1565590 [23:36] duryodhan: http://wklej.org/id/219935/ [23:36] Ashfire: no Sun VirtualBox [23:36] you're wrong [; [23:36] full install [23:37] VampJoseph, oh, ok. Still, the iso is bad. if it works it's only because you are lucky. [23:37] ActionParsnip: I disagree with a the Wubi install concept too. Unfortunately, it was the only viable option to keep family from getting upset. [23:37] hi all, I have a problem with my sound card "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)", absolutely no sound on ubuntu 9.10....any help? [23:37] MythGuy: install to USB. Its a proper install but doesnt touch the internal disk [23:37] MythGuy: or CF / SD Card too [23:37] kale: does that help? [23:38] tyler5: your array consists of a partition and a whole unpartitioned disk? [23:38] I got it from the site so where do I get a good copy? [23:38] amd64/intrepid box here - trying to install libgtk2.0-dev but -" Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.14.4-0ubuntu1) but 2.14.4-0ubuntu2 is to be installed" [23:38] what do I do? I tried disabling proposed and backports, but I still get the ubunbu2 package [23:38] sburwood, finally, try picking the device in the creator but the one without the number at the end.... Might work... [23:38] ActionParsnip: Good idea! Thanks. [23:38] kale: When the RAID was setup, I had one partition on both disks mounted with / and it was fine on reboots [23:39] kale: but when I unplugged sdb to test redundancy - and it was fine, by the way - and plugged it back in it wont be active anymore [23:39] kale: raid shows degraded before re-sync. [23:39] tyler5: look at what you pasted: spare /dev/sdb ... active sync /dev/sda1 [23:39] MythGuy: or try a virtualbox/vmware solution... [23:39] tyler5: which is possible, but unlikely what you meant [23:39] Anybody know how to get synaptics search function to work properly? [23:39] sburwood, if those things don't work, I don't have a clue what to do... and also I need to work on my mass of homework... [23:39] DaZ: my bad [23:40] when i boot into safemode it has an option to rebuild / fix a broken pkg system... what is the command line call for this ? [23:40] Ashfire, thanks. And I hope your homework goes better than my progression on the learning curve of Linux [23:40] FIReun: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/2.14.4-0ubuntu2/+build/852289/+files/libgtk2.0-0_2.14.4-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [23:40] Usually it works fine, but after a fresh install it acts up, and will only search the packages initially installed [23:41] created a virtualbox for win 7 within jaunty. i gave it 20gb hdd and 800 mb of ram. my mouse freezes just moving it across screen. i also don't have sound. any suggestions? [23:41] kale: mdstat used to show active raid1 sda1[1] and sdb[1] (or something like that) and had under blocks [2/2] [UU] [23:41] Ashfire: I downloaded the image from the website, so where do i get a non corrupt copy? [23:41] FIReun: install that, run: sudo apt-get -f install then try again [23:41] kale: now it shows [2/1] and [U_], indicating a drive is not active :).. anyway, its almost done recovering. [23:42] Is there anyway for an nvidia user to set a custom screen resolution? [23:42] MythGuy: it's a long shot, but you may be able to do something with lvpm running from a live cd http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591. It's not for beginners though, I'd say.... [23:42] VampJoseph, you are assuming that ~700 MB of data has no way of getting damaged when going over the internet but the official server's iso can easily be wrong. Just redownload. [23:42] tyler5: is it a new drive, one you just added? [23:42] I've just added a hard drive to my ubuntu-server - How do I view the files within the terminal? [23:42] dakii: use nvidia-settings [23:43] mark__ ls [23:43] mark__, did you mount the hdd yet? [23:43] kale: I started the raid with both drives, unplugged sdb to test redundancy and plugged it back in after the system booted up, but it wont go active anymore even after re-sync [23:43] ActionParsnip how do I get to those? [23:43] ActionParsnip: that'll work, gratz [23:43] kale: It's the same drive, same install, but re-sync just isn't working apparently. [23:43] tyler5: which is understandable [23:43] VampJoseph: or if you know how, use torrent with the iso you have. That way, just the corrupted blocks will get re-downloaded.... [23:43] mark__, you need to mount it first, then you just run an ls command on the folder you mounted it to. [23:43] I typed mount sda5 -- but its already mounted. I'm not sure whats on the drive. I just want to view the root. [23:43] hello everyone! i'm trying to upload some photoes onto facebook but every time, firefox crashes - i think it has something to do with the java? can somebody help me out please? [23:44] dakii: its installed as part of the proprietary driver [23:44] FIReun: easy websearch, kid ;) [23:44] ActionParsnip: and yet, I get the same error /: [23:44] tyler5: linux kernel looks for a "linux raid autodetect" marked partition when it assembles the raid. since none is found it is started in a degraded state each time. [23:44] Could I get some help with fixing synaptic's search function? [23:44] how do I tell which device my dial-up modem is? [23:44] adnyzammy: perhaps update java [23:44] kale: Finished, heres the stats now: http://pastebin.com/m7333f95d [23:44] tyler5: the solution is to make a partition on sdb as well and make the partition type "FD" [23:44] kale: big difference [23:45] FIReun: could force install the deb maybe, you have the dep [23:45] blood: how do i do this? i thought java is updated automatically in the ubuntu updates? [23:45] mazda01 : It's already mounted (sda5) but unsure on how I can view the files. is it something like ls /sda5? [23:45] VampJoseph, the mirror you got the file from (the main website will make you use a mirror to spread load) *could* be wrong, but that's very unlikely. I have to go now, so you will need to get help from someone else. But just try redownloading. [23:45] ActionParsnip: I was looking at it from the other side, figuring if libgtk2.14.4-0ubuntu2 were out, I'd have apt'd it [23:45] Hi, is someone tried to play with Virtualbox? [23:45] ActionParsnip: the deb installed, not sure why libgtk2-dev isnt going [23:45] * FIReun digs [23:45] mark__, it got mounted to just /sda5? i doubt it. what does the mount command show? [23:45] andyzammy: it probably is then, but to make sure u could use the sympaticpackagemanageer [23:45] kale: On reboot, thats lost and I have to re-sync again. Would making that partition fix it? [23:45] how many ubuntu related channels are there? [23:46] tyler5: yes [23:46] mazda01 : oh wait, it says "it's already mounted on /boot [23:46] andyzammy: Or the firefox ur using could be out of date, then again it wouldmake sence that there would be java errors [23:46] woudnt* [23:47] what's the non-question related ubuntu channel?? [23:47] blood: which package am i looking for (there are a few java packages installed), and what version should it be? [23:47] !ot [23:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:47] kale: ah, didn't realize that... [23:47] kale: This has to be done on every re-sync? [23:47] mazda01 : but unsure on how I access it? how do I find what it is mounted as? [23:47] tyler5: no [23:47] mark__, are you sure it got mounted to /boot? that sounds very weird!! [23:48] I am trying to use partimage and want to mount windows xp folder, this command mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.1/Temp /mnt/samba [23:48] kale: So why does it have to be done now?. I could reboot and the raid was fully active until I unplugged the SATA from the drive.. [23:48] mazda01 : I think it means it was mounted at boot. [23:48] tyler5: this has to be done to make the linux kernel detect the raid partitions and assemble them. another solution is to assemble from an initrd [23:48] I am trying to use partimage and want to mount windows xp folder, this command mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.1/Temp /mnt/samba giving an error [23:48] mark__, then in the mount command, tell me what folder /dev/sda5 is mounted to. [23:48] tyler5: for some obvious i'm not running ubuntu myself, so i cannot answer that [23:49] rom10: you forgot the username and password [23:49] kale: I'm running CentOS myself. [23:49] mark__, if it were mounted it would say something like this: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) BUT NOT WITH THESE SETTINGS [23:49] mazda01 : /dev/sda5 on /boot type ext2 [23:49] It didn't ask me for that [23:49] tyler5: tried it once at a lecture, never touched it since ... [23:49] anyone got a fix for the X high cpu usage on 9.10? [23:50] I want to use partimage to create an image of ubuntu on the network to my winxdows xp folder [23:50] kale: I have the option to use CentOS or redhat for what im going to do with the server, so im going with centos :) [23:50] tyler5: what is your goal with the server?

[23:57] mazda01 : ok, i was mistaken, as I thought it was sda5, this seems to be boot drive. I can confirm the drive is sda1 now. Sorry for confusion.

[23:58] please i really need help with this issue because it seems i won't be able to solve the mystery on my own.. i have a program called moses, it's a machine translation system.. now to speed up decoding (i.e. translation) one can binarize translation files.. the command pipeline to do such a thing is cat phrase-table | sort | specific-moses-command-here ..... now in the docs people are told that they must set LC_ALL=C prior to running the pipeline in order [23:58] hello [23:58] to sort properly.. now MY problem is that someone binarized the files for me, and now i can't translate stuff with french diacritical letters [23:58] !boot | ClayG [23:58] ClayG: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [23:58] ive crashed ubuntu [23:58] when upgrading to 9.10 [23:58] ActionParsnip: when I try to do this in Firestarter I'm getting an error about wlan0 [23:58] im back under netbsd [23:58] anybody can explain to me what LC_ALL=C actually means ? [23:58] ActionParsnip: the results i get from google are really confusing - would you be able to explain how i uninstall java please? [23:58] ActionParsnip: sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found [23:59] ActionParsnip, do you know how i would go about finding out the IP that the laptop assigns so I can program it into my PS2's software? [23:59] AlphaW: of course it runs netbsd [23:59] yeah! [23:59] andyzammy: search in software centre and remove java [23:59] ActionParsnip, exactly what I needed! Thanks alot [23:59] mark__, so you just added this hdd and it's /dev/sda1? that seems weird also but ok. now issue the mount command and see if it's mounted anywhere.
