=== israel is now known as rene [00:00] guys is the ext4 bug in ubuntu 9.10 still present? [00:00] ratatim, no, what i mean is, are you using windows? [00:00] ratatim, i see you arent tho [00:00] madcheeze: should i get on a windows machine to create the flash boot drive? [00:00] What could cause apt to hold back upgrades? === rene is now known as R3N3 [00:00] maco: and I already knew that having a seperate /home tends to make re installing easier, and it's good advice to give to people :) [00:00] madcheeze: yeah no windows for me [00:00] ratatim, i havent used ubuntu to create it before, i have always used windows. my windows machine is the one that takes the beating... [00:01] madcheeze: haha well i'll go to the schools computer labs and make a boot disk that way. I won't lose my stuff will i? when i upgrade? [00:01] ratatim, are you sure its the whole .iso folder? [00:01] raj: which one? the one where big data might get currupted? [00:01] madcheeze: its the raw file i downloaded from a mirror site [00:01] Hi again ubuntu community [00:02] madcheeze: i haven't done anything to it [00:02] ratatim, then it should be the full .iso file. it should find it. if it doesnt, i cant help you without looking at it. maybe someone else here can. [00:02] how do I remove one package only and not the all the other packages that go along with this. Like I want to remove wpasupplicant as I want to stop this from running all the time. Any ideas? [00:03] maco: (irelivant, but when did I actsaully find out that Ext4 in 9.04 can be a bit dodgy hmm) [00:03] madcheeze: i'll just go get onto a windows machine and create a pendrive boot disk. You've been a great help. thanks [00:03] This month I have gone updating online from 8.04 to 8.10, then 9.04 and now will go at last to 9.10. [00:03] raj: have a look at the 9.10 release notes [00:03] Did anyone face any major problems on online update from 9.04 to 9.10 ? [00:03] ShawnRisk: Hi! How's it going? [00:03] ratatim, sorry, i didnt help you very much [00:03] sebsebseb: there were bugs filed.. [00:03] mdg: good and you? [00:03] oh raj is gone already [00:03] ShawnRisk: I can't complain. [00:03] has anyone else had problems with the updates locking their system up? [00:04] ShawnRisk: did you get your wireless working? === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:04] madcheeze: you were a big help. you reminded me of unetbootin. if i wouldn't have found that out again i'd be in way over my head still. I need to learn command line... [00:04] maco: yeah Ext4 bug reports [00:04] mdg: it is closer to being solved but not solved yet [00:04] mdg: want to help? [00:05] ratatim, im still learning too. you always learn something new using linux. windows makes you dumb as well as osx... [00:05] ShawnRisk: I just found a post a little while ago about broadcom and using a bcmwl driver - let me find the link... [00:05] mdg: nice [00:05] okay, i've successfully reinstalled grub after deleting the ntfs and fat32 partitions. [00:05] madcheeze: haha yeah i couldn't agree more [00:06] should i keep my (now working) ubuntu install or wipe my HD and start with windows installed and THEN reinstall ubuntu [00:06] madcheeze: have a good night. i'm sure i'll be back if i get stumped. [00:06] tehloki_: which version of Ubuntu? [00:06] 9.10 [00:06] ShawnRisk: Post #3 - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330657&highlight=Broadcom [00:07] tehloki_: so you just put Grub 2 on and it's working? you upgraded from 9.04 before that? [00:07] ShawnRisk: which driver is installed right now? [00:07] mdg: just to update you I reinstalled Ubuntu to get it working again, and now what I am trying to is get the Access Point to work out. I setup the ESSID, Encryption Key and Channel. [00:07] sebsebseb: my 9.10 install is working. installing win7 fucked up my MBR somehow. I wiped out the windows partition and reinstalled grub2 and now my ubuntu install can boots [00:07] tehloki_: if 9.10 is working for you, well keep that install for now I guess :) [00:07] ShawnRisk: sticking with wep? [00:07] mdg: Broadcom B43 wireless driver [00:08] sebsebseb: i'm trying to install win7 too [00:08] !language | tehloki_ [00:08] tehloki_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:08] tehloki_: oh dear [00:08] mdg: for the time being, I don't want to switch yet. [00:08] tehloki_: if you re install Windows 7 (Vista version 2) [00:08] tehloki_: it will go over the part of Grub 2 that's in your Master Boot Record [00:08] mdg: I have to go outside to do the garbage, can you pm me that is easier I don't want to lose the message [00:08] tehloki_: ubuntu install always goes last if you want working grub [00:08] Hi there. Just upgraded to karmic and I'm noticing the audio from my line-in source is delayed by a couple of seconds. Any thoughts? [00:09] ShawnRisk: I can understand that - its quite an ordeal working through wireless setup. [00:09] even if i reinstall grub? [00:09] ShawnRisk: okay [00:09] tehloki_: windows doesnt like admitting it has to share [00:09] okay i'll just format. [00:09] tehloki_: Then you would have to re install Grub and that can be a right pain [00:09] tehloki_: if youre ok with reinstalling grub, go ahead [00:09] tehloki_: was this an upgrade from 9.04 or not? [00:09] well i did but it didn't work last time [00:09] mdg: if I get WEP working than I can move over to WAP when I get time [00:09] tehloki_: just saying, if you always install windows before ubuntu, you can avoid playing around with grub [00:09] yes sebsebseb [00:09] wait no [00:09] tehloki_: an upgrade? [00:09] i upgraded, it broke everything, i reinstalled [00:09] tehloki_: or clean install? [00:09] so this is a clean install. === ricky_ is now known as Guest10024 [00:10] tehloki_: oh ok so Ext4 and working Grub 2 for you, but no Windows 7 :D [00:10] yeah [00:10] hello...i was connected with no problem in my laptop through wireless...but after plugging a cable i cant connect to internet...i think the route has been changed or something !? [00:10] tehloki_: yeah basically what maco says, I wonder if Microsoft did it on purpouse so Windows overwrites the MBR on install like it does [00:10] techhelper1: says not said, anyway uhmmm what do you use Windows for? === root is now known as Guest2631 [00:10] well it didn't just overwrite the MBR with its own bootloader, it corrupted it. [00:11] xNinja: click on your networking icon and see if it shows wireless or ethernet cable is being used [00:11] tehloki_: Is that a reasonably new computer, hence Windows 7? [00:11] yes [00:11] tehloki_: How much RAM? [00:11] 4gb [00:11] sebsebseb: i think MS just doesnt care to fix it [00:11] mdg can we do that in command prompt ? i am ssh to that pc [00:11] maco: could be [00:11] tehloki_: ok :) good [00:12] tehloki_: and you got the Windows 7 DVD yes? [00:12] sebsebseb: yes [00:12] tehloki_: good [00:12] so i'm going to wipe out my drive now and try installing win7 THEN ubuntu 9.10 [00:12] tehloki_: you should be able to virtual machine it inside Ubuntu :) [00:12] tehloki_: hold on [00:12] xNinja: try "ifconfig" in a terminal (no quotes) This will tell you waht networking interfaces are setup. [00:12] How do I get rid of pulseaudio in Karmic? [00:12] tehloki_: Virtual machines are awesome, well depending on what you want to do, for most Windows stuff oh yes they are awesome :) [00:12] sebsebseb: i'm a bit of a gamer, will that work well enough [00:13] tehloki_: games hmm [00:13] i'm just going to win7, ubuntu with partitions [00:13] I run my linux partition in virtualbox occasionally [00:13] tehloki_: well Virtualbox 3.0+ has some Direct3D 8 support [00:13] works great when i dont want to reboot to do package updates [00:13] tehloki_: that you could try, if you got some 3D games, plus you can get stuff working in Wine etc [00:13] mdg i have eth0 and wlan1 connected each has different ip range eth0 192.168.3. / wlan1 192.168.1.0 [00:13] sebsebseb: doesn't sound like much fun. [00:14] tehloki_: ok [00:14] tehloki_: when you re installed before, did you do a seperate /home I guess not? [00:14] i'm having an issue getting my cron script to run correctly [00:14] xNinja: okay. So now you are wanting to use the wireless? [00:14] !ask | jcp [00:14] jcp: 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. :-) [00:14] tehloki_: well those can be really good to have, and it's much easier to set them up on a clean install of Ubuntu [00:14] does anyone know how to get an internal microphone to work? [00:15] i have the following line: */5 * * * * echo 'tick tock...' &>> /home/jcp/development/lib/scripts/logs/cronlog.txt [00:15] mdg yep [00:15] jcp: and? [00:15] google has so far told me that a radeon 9200 isn't going to work on 9.10... [00:15] and it doesnt seem to work, nothing gets appended to that log file, and there are no errors in /var/log/cron.log [00:16] tehloki_: so I suggest doing that :) and ok sure, re install, Windows 7 first, then put Ubuntu on [00:16] hey all, having a possible trojan problem with wget. Can anyone tell me the md5sum of wget on their Ubuntu 9.10? "md5sum /usr/bin/wget"? [00:16] jcp: you should create a bash script and just run that. I bet crontab gets interpreted through sh [00:16] xNinja: I'm tryint to think of the command to disconnect eth0 and restart wlan1 [00:16] jcp, cron doesnt like redirections etc, put the line in a bash script [00:16] Gaming4JC: which processor? [00:16] Gaming4JC: x86 or 64? [00:16] x64 [00:16] mdg no i just need the route right command [00:16] is there a way to override my dns server but still use network-manager? [00:16] tehloki_: dual boot :) [00:16] (and dhcp) [00:16] linux-64:~$ md5sum `which wget` [00:16] dcb32f8346aa75f8220ca6c6008d3464 /usr/bin/wget [00:17] Gaming4JC: so. did you get trojaned? :) [00:17] xNinja: I'm kinda lost - you mean an ssh command? [00:17] nemo: thanks, strangely no the md5hash check matches. [00:17] mdg route add gw or something like that [00:17] I'm putting together a new box and I'm thinking of buying an ATI 5850 but I've never used ati cards (this new) with linux and I'm concerned about driver support. does anyone here have first hand experience with the new radeons? [00:17] yes ssh command [00:17] nemo: I've still no idea why it was running as root and wouldn't respond to pkill. [00:17] Gaming4JC: they compromised md5sum too ;) [00:18] nemo: never thought of that? o_O [00:18] usser: i'm just testing to see if the cron script is running in the first place. i'm trying to debug a job thats supposed to be running every 15 minutes, which isnt, and i think the culprit is cron [00:18] lol [00:18] Gaming4JC: um. wget is probably used by the updater [00:18] Gaming4JC: could simply be some background fetch that stalled [00:18] why it isn't responding to pkill... dunno, were you running the kill as non-root? [00:18] nemo: possible, but it's strange some of the binaries it downloaded. And I did run it as sudo [00:18] nemo: how about "ls -lc /usr/bin/wget" [00:18] for modification date. [00:18] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 241680 2009-10-08 23:12 /usr/bin/wget [00:19] Hi. I have tried this before and gone wrong. I have windows7, now freshly installed ubuntu. they both boot, now i've installed the updates in ubuntu I need to choose "Configuring grub-pc" should I "keep the local version currently installed"? I think I chose the package maintainers one last time and needed to repair win7. I don't have the win disk so must get it right [00:19] Gaming4JC: how on earth would date help? we presumably installed at different times [00:19] jcp: just check for mail from cron [00:19] korogiannos: which version of Ubuntu? [00:19] nemo: If the file was modifed at a different time [00:19] Gaming4JC: you might want to run a rootkit checker [00:19] sebsebseb:karmic [00:19] nemo: I ran unhide, seemed to be crashing on karmic [00:19] xNinja: like a "bind address" command? [00:19] Gaming4JC, use antivir its great.. [00:20] Gaming4JC: chkrootkit [00:20] lol [00:20] korogiannos: so brand new install, just doing the updates? [00:20] nemo: ok I'll give that one a try [00:20] Gaming4JC, great for what it does. use the usb stick version [00:20] does anyone know how well ubuntu/linux in general supports the new ATI cards? [00:20] Gaming4JC: of course, I'm a bit puzzled how you could get compromised in first place - bad repos or bad ssh password? [00:20] nemo: the strange thing is it downloaded 14MB and the files were anything from dlls, to images [00:20] Proteus: ATI cards tend to be an issue with Desktop Linux, because of their lack of support [00:20] nemo: I've no idea, bad repos perhaps. [00:20] Gaming4JC: hm. UbuntuOne synchronisation? [00:20] dlls?? [00:20] sebsebseb: yup. I installed before and had to use the windows disk to repair windows boot. now I've fresh install again. It went wrong when I installed updates to grub last time too. [00:21] weird. [00:21] Gaming4JC: uh. maybe ies4lin ? [00:21] nemo: I don't use Ubuntu One and yes it downloaded windows exe, some dll, and some other stuff in a packet log. [00:21] what is the consensus on the ubuntu one? am i better off using something like dropbox? [00:21] nemo: I don't use winetricks or ies4lin [00:21] :/ [00:21] how can i use grep to search ONLY up until the first ":" in the /etc/passwd [00:21] madcheeze: I use my own home server for a dropbox [00:21] madcheeze: but the synchronisation is kind of fun to play with anyway. [00:22] korogiannos: I think I am correct, but maybe not. the local version currently is installed is the one that is on there right now. The package maintainers version will be any update to Grub 2. [00:22] brova: search the man page for "stop"? [00:22] jrib: see this is the problem, i see no signs of errors anywhere. no mail from cron, nothing in the log, but its clear the scripts i have in the crontab are not being run [00:22] i can run the scripts manually and they work fine [00:22] jcp: desktop ubuntu doesn't install an mta by default, did you install one? [00:22] jrib: ok. you have helped me before i remember you lol [00:22] brova: hi :) [00:22] nemo: Do you know if cron runs any updates in the background, and even if it does why would it download dlls? o_O [00:22] Gaming4JC: do you have open ssh? :) [00:22] nemo: nope. [00:22] brova: what do you actually want to accomplish? [00:23] nemo: As far as I know I'm not running any servers lol. [00:23] Gaming4JC: what's your IP? can I scan you from outside? [00:23] sebsebseb: all works fine now, should I keep the local one? [00:23] korogiannos: it should be ok to do either option [00:23] nemo sure feel free to scan [00:23] Gaming4JC: hopefully you use reject and not drop - drop is such false security... [00:23] korogiannos: I was typing your answer, before I even got that question [00:23] jrib: that could be the problem, im going to look into that now [00:23] sebsebseb, so basically, for good desktop support my only choice is going with an nvidia card? how bad is ati support really? [00:23] Gaming4JC: your current IP is same? [00:23] nemo: get the query, yes. [00:23] jcp: debian uses exim by default which I like, but there are lighter ones too [00:24] jrib: im trying to search for user names and display the information from the /etc/passwd file based upon command line arguements, problem is right now that when i type user as a command line arguement awell it also finds directories [00:24] Gaming4JC: ugh. you use drop - this will take a while... [00:24] i'm no longer seeing my connection status un the upper riight cormer of my screen, how do i det it back? [00:24] brova: can you show an example? [00:24] mdg thanks anyway :D [00:24] Proteus: some of the Nivida cards get issues to, I think like the very latest or maybe the really realy old ones. However Nivida are known to have the best Desktop Linux graphics support. ATI = problems usaulley or that's the impression I get anyway from being here in this channel enough times [00:24] nemo: Why is it better to reject than drop, lol? [00:24] its not in the add a pannles box ether [00:24] jrib: i will paste bin everything i have so far [00:24] I want to repartition my drives so I can have more space on the linux one (I will suck it from a ntfs partition). what is the most reliable program around to do it? [00:25] sebsebseb: Thanks. Not sure what went wrong last time. Is this the right place to ask about comparing the "side by side difference between versions"? or is that another IRC room? I can't afford to have it brake now I've lost my windows disk... [00:25] thief, gparted [00:25] Gaming4JC: well, I just don't see drop offering any significant advantages in security, and it is a PITA for legitimate connections [00:25] Where can I download previous versions of ubuntu? [00:25] korogiannos: Sure you can ask abou the Ubuntu versions in here. [00:25] specifically jaunty [00:25] madcheeze, I will check it out, thanks [00:25] Altreus[Hireme]: releases.ubuntu.com [00:25] ty [00:25] thief, no prob === Mav is now known as Maver [00:26] Altreus[Hireme]: What's up with Karmic? http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04 [00:26] sebsebseb: google tells me to give up trying to get my radeon 9200 working under karmic [00:26] Altreus[Hireme]: good idea to md5sum/sha1sum your ISO before burning contents to CD. the code you compare to is in the list of files [00:26] Altreus[Hireme]: if you downloaded from torrent it's probably fine though [00:26] Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my friend's Desktop. It gets to the login screen, but freezes when trying to load up the desktop. I ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal and startx -- :1 and it starts to load the desktop but freezes. I notice the top and bottom bars aren't rendered correctly when I switched back to terminal after startx command. He has an nvidia geforce 7800 GT, is there something I need to do to configure X c [00:27] Altreus[Hireme]: that's ATI isn't it? === les` is now known as les [00:27] guys anyone knows a way to configure shadows in compiz so that windows have larger shadows then menus? [00:27] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d478316cb [00:27] sebsebseb: yes. [00:27] Proteus: see above what Altreus[Hireme] put [00:27] ? [00:27] Proteus: yet another ATI graphics card issue [00:27] sebsebseb: it is older than the minimum that the fglrx drivers support, according to the wiki [00:27] ati is meh === carlos is now known as Guest83607 [00:27] sebsebseb, I've heard about ATI's bad drivers for years but I've also heard that they were trying to get their act together and have dedicated delopment for linux. I saw that newegg was going to have 5850s back in stock tomorrow....it would suck to have to wait for nvidia to finally get around to releasing their mid-range fermi card [00:27] BobbyShaftoe: have you installled the drivers? [00:28] sebsebseb: this thread told me not to bother http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1121222&page=2 [00:28] bobbyi: : have you installled the drivers? [00:28] jrib: the problem is, if you run the script, that it will highlight the /user/ [00:28] bobbyi, install the nvidia-glx-185 driver [00:28] Proteus: well most Nivida cards work great in Desktop Linux :) [00:28] Proteus: ATI that's not the case, and I guess same thing for Intel [00:28] can I install with apt-get? [00:28] unfortunately I can't afford a new nvidia card, which is why I'm using free stuff to do it [00:28] yes, bobbyi [00:28] unfortunately, free means old ATI stuff [00:28] ok, I will go try that now. Thank you very much === Fallen_ is now known as Fallenou [00:29] brova: I see. You probably want to match something like '^$x' [00:29] jrib: what kind of configuration is needed once i've got sendmail installed? [00:29] Has anyone else noticed that the Firefox menu fonts are HUGE if you leave your fonts at 10pt? Other GTK apps are normal - only Firefox renders them huge... [00:29] linux is confusing [00:29] Altreus[Hireme]: well overall for many 9.04 is really the better release, not 9.10, plus that's fine to use that online, when it's still being supported and your getting the security updates [00:29] I assume I need internet access to install the driver? (i.e. won't be found on CD) [00:29] jcp: I don't think I've ever installed sendmail, but usually it should just work for local mail (exim asks you using debconf) [00:30] why is linux confusing? [00:30] hyper89: Hello what's up? What's the problem? [00:30] hyper89: it can be, but what's your current problem? [00:30] hyper89: What do you want to do? [00:30] hyper89: it's a conspiracy [00:30] lol [00:30] just hard to learn i guess im a newb still [00:30] ati is fine. you just end up having to compile the driver from scratch. thats what linux is all about isnt it? [00:30] need to do more reading i assume? [00:30] !new | hyper89 [00:30] hyper89: check out help.ubuntu.com [00:30] hyper89: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [00:31] hyper89: Ubuntu Pocket Guide as well :) [00:31] thanks [00:31] bobbyi, it's possible that the live cd contains the right kernel module driver [00:31] you mean learning basic stuff like making your way around the desktop environment? [00:31] jrib: THANKS :D [00:31] hyper89: np [00:31] hyper89: no you need more tweaking and stuff... trying to break your system doing fancy stuff :P [00:31] hyper89: one of the best ways to learn is to install an extra copy of ubuntu in virtual box and go crazy experimenting there [00:31] jrib, you hit that one on the head... [00:31] hyper89: what Bolvadur2 put jokeingly I think, isn't exactly helpful [00:31] madcheeze, compile from scratch? do the open source drivers support the 5850s? [00:31] amagodi q lag isso aqui [00:31] aaawww [00:31] i do have it on a VB ;) [00:31] me and hyper are both in the same college course actually [00:31] yes, because then you can break it really bad and it doesn't matter :) [00:31] !br | assoguerozen_sx [00:31] assoguerozen_sx: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:31] hyper89: hmm with Windows as host? [00:32] i just find it more difficult, cause i dont read ENOUGH on this stuff [00:32] yes windows as host [00:32] Proteus, yes, but i havent found one that works out of the box with opengl and all. thats why there is alot of info around the web about it [00:32] Will I risk confusing the package manager if I modify /opt ? [00:32] hyper89: that can be ok for trying to get a feel for it, but really it should be the other way round :) [00:32] jordyd: no, package manager shouldn't install stuff to /opt anyway [00:32] jrib: Cool, thanks. [00:32] hyper89: anything in particular causing you problems or confusing you, or just in general? [00:32] jordyd: you can always check if a package is responsible for a file by using « dpkg -S » [00:32] gah! im stuck at version 8.04 of ubuntu and i can upgrade out of it, can anyone with some expertiese walk me through upgrading? [00:32] in general, i think i just need to practice more [00:32] Proteus, use virtualbox in your windows partition, and install ubuntu on it. tweak it, make it the way you want, then move over to ubuntu and get it working the way you like... [00:32] which what i dont do [00:33] is* [00:33] !upgrade > higuy2071 [00:33] higuy2071, please see my private message [00:33] fair enough - well good luck :) [00:33] jrib: beat me to it :) [00:33] higuy2071: make sure your options aren't ignoring non-LTS releases [00:33] higuy2071: when you are in 8.04 and want to update, I recommend doing it from cd and doing a fresh install. [00:33] took me a long time before I was comfortable enough to switch over 100% [00:33] jrib: I want to install something there manually. (not in the repos) [00:33] higuy2071: uhmm might want to stay with 8.04 for now [00:33] sebsebseb: cool, jaunty it is then :) [00:33] madcheeze: how is ati fine if as said so many users seem to have problems with its cards but not so with nvidia on linux? [00:33] higuy2071: since if you do you can upgrade directly to 10.04 when it comes out at the end of April [00:33] brb [00:33] Rajasun, the problem is with the driver support. [00:33] jordyd: yeah, /opt and /usr/local/ are the two good places for that (personally, I use /usr/local/ if it has a "unixy" structure and /opt otherwise) [00:34] is there a way to tell the last time a script was run? [00:34] higuy2071: no Grub 2 or Ext4 when doing the upgrade though, but that's not a big deal [00:34] Rajasun, thats why you have to manage it yourself. [00:34] higuy2071: I updated 2 computers from 8.04 to 9.10 and it took hours and in the end both systems rendered a bit more sluggish than they should be compared to a fresh install [00:34] jcp: I doubt it [00:34] i want to do a fresh install, but ive heard you shouldnt skip in upgrades [00:34] when I right-click the NTFS partition on GParted, most options, including resize, are disabled, why is that? [00:34] i want to be at 9.10 [00:34] Hello, I have a problem with ecryptfs. I'm trying to mount a private home directory under Jaunty from a dual-booted Karmic. Mounting the private directory seems to succeed but no files actually show up in ~. Could somebody help me troubleshoot, please? [00:34] Altreus[Hireme]: do the ISO check I mentioned :) [00:34] Rajasun, you want to learn linux, and be good at it? then learn how to compile a driver, and manage it. that will teach you mostly all you will ever need to know about linux [00:34] higuy2071: if you do a fresh install it doesn't matter if you skip of course [00:34] higuy2071: a fresh install is a good idea rather than upgrading through all those versions -- just make sure you back up your stuff first! [00:35] higuy2071: download and burn the 9.10 cd and install it from scratch [00:35] madcheeze: why is it that nvidia seems to do a better job at that without user intervention i.e. needing user to "manage it himself/herself"? [00:35] Rajasun, compiling a driver is not for the feint at heart... [00:35] jrib: Well, it specifies /opt, I'm not about to complain if it doesn't cause problems. :) I generally install things into /usr/local/ as well. [00:35] [00:35] jrib: how do i uninstall this old version? [00:35] higuy2071: if you really want 9.10, I suggest doing a clean install, because of what I just mentioned no Ext4 and Grub 2 on upgrade, and also how many people got issues after upgarding 9.04 to 9.10 [00:35] jordyd: what are you installing by the way? [00:35] sebsebseb: MANY THANKS! The local version did it. Now both windows and Ubuntu boot, Ubuntu especially fast. [00:35] madcheeze, my shtick is evolutionary algorithms and computational biology, I mainly need OpenCL support. OpenGL would be nice, but it isn't essential. Is getting solid opencl support for these cards in linux already there or is it hopeless? [00:35] the installer will allow you to use your entire hard drive, effectively overwriting the old install [00:35] which is why you need to back up everything [00:35] higuy2071: just tell the installer to overwrite it during the partition setup [00:35] madcheeze: why is it that nvidia seems to do a better job at that without user intervention i.e. needing user to "manage it himself/herself" 9 out of 10 instances that is? [00:35] korogiannos: ok good :) [00:35] korogiannos: now just remember to use Ubuntu mainly :) [00:36] higuy2071: you lose data of course if you don't have backups [00:36] korogiannos: and have as the one that boots up by default :D [00:36] jrib: is there an option to do that while installing? [00:36] Rajasun, because they are a bigger entity and can support it better than ati. remember, ati is the amd of graphics... they dont have the support channels and body that nvidia has [00:36] sebsebseb: For everything except a few games with my flatmates :) [00:36] higuy2071: yeah, during the partition setup [00:36] higuy: yes, what he said ;) [00:36] Proteus, i dont know about opencl. i dont use it. thats getting deeper than i would like to go [00:36] korogiannos: ok [00:36] Proteus, at least for now [00:36] jrib: clojure-mode, slime, and swank-clojure. I am installing from here: http://riddell.us/tutorial/slime_swank/slime_swank.html [00:37] dpkg --configure -a fixed my problems, can someone please explain to me what exactly that did? [00:37] sebsebseb: Thanks again. I bid you farewell [00:37] jrib: thank you :) [00:37] higuy2071: but again, we can't stress enough to make a backup of your data first [00:37] i dont have any data haha [00:37] that works then :) [00:37] Rajasun, if you want an easy install, use nvidia. if you want to work on it, use ati. [00:37] jrib: Well, actually, minus the slime because I already have that. [00:37] you can just tell the new installer to "use my entire hard drive" and it will do the rest for you [00:37] Hello, I keep getting DRDY ERR and ICRC ABRT messages when i access my sata disk .. there was no problem when the disk was connected to usb, and the disk works fine on windows, any ideas? [00:38] Proteus, same for you, if you want to work on it, and compile the driver, then use ati, if you want something that will generally work out of the box, then use nvidia [00:38] madcheeze: so by what u have said and the truth about the relative ease of nvidia cards for most on linux vis-a-vis those from ati, don't you think your original statement that linux is all about compiling is not true but only applies to certain circumstances e.g. certain (not all) ati cards? [00:38] ten80p: try going to the "Places" menu, and see if the drive shows up there -- when I use eSATA on mine I have to mount it manually (since it is considered an internal drive) [00:39] once i enter x with the drive installed the whole OS hard locks [9.04] [00:39] Rajasun, a .inf is the a .inf file. you just have to build it to work with linux. so no, the truth is that ati is just as good. but the driver support sucks. its like buying an italian sport bike in the us, and expect great support... it just doesnt happen [00:39] madcheeze, I'm ok with working on it if I need to but could you point me in the direction of the relevant info? [00:40] ten80p: hmm, is it just a data drive or are you trying to boot the OS from it? [00:40] no, OS is on another drive [00:41] Proteus, what relevant info would you like? [00:41] anyone know how to get back the ichon in the upper right corner that told me my connection status? it went missing === revres_xunil is now known as revresxunil [00:42] ZaNeIuM: right click and add to panel? or reset panels to default [00:42] !panels | ZaNeIuM [00:42] ZaNeIuM, right click the bar at the top, and click add to panel, then go choose your network monitor [00:42] ZaNeIuM: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:42] it's called the "indicator applet" [00:42] when I right-click the NTFS partition on GParted, most options, including resize, are disabled, why is that? I weant to shrink the NTFS to make the ext3 bigger [00:42] its not the pannels [00:42] madcheeze, well, anything pertaining to getting support for things like opencl and opengl on a new ATI card via released tools or compiling custom drivers or whatever [00:42] ok ill try that thx [00:43] ten80p: sorry, don't know how to fix your problem, but it does look like others have reported the same error codes [00:43] madcheeze: thing is nvidia users dun need to compile their drivers on linux for most instances, whereas quite a few ati card owners may need to. Thus defined as such i.e. relative enduser ease, nvidia is a betterthan ati and doesn't require compilation of drivers and so said linux isn't all about compiling. At least that isn't the instance for nvidia users and enough ati users in Ubuntu right? === jherraez is now known as JTRIP [00:44] i have seen many others with this problem, i think i will give up and put the hdd on windows [00:44] hi! I just want to create a video clip for an mp3 song that has just a picture on it...that is all! what software can I use? [00:44] Proteus, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide [00:44] I missed everyone [00:45] sebsebseb: i did that, and its still not there [00:45] Rajasun, thats because nvidia has put time into their drivers for open source support. ati has not. === ShawnRisk1 is now known as ShawnRisk [00:45] i reset it in the treminal === qbert_ is now known as femslut [00:45] a ja mam problem z wyłaczaniem kompa [00:46] Proteus, like i said, if you want something that will work out of your box, then use nvidia. [00:46] does anyone recommend XFCE on a bare install? or some other DE? (not flux) [00:46] I know this channel is very busy, but could someone look at my problem with ecryptfs. ^^^ [00:46] but still got no network status [00:46] madcheeze, thanks for the link though, I'll have to go through this. [00:46] Bolvadur2: XFCE tends to get recommended in here for computers with old hardware not much RAM etc [00:46] Rajasun, same for you. if you want something to just work, then use nvidia. i have my reasons for using ati, and one is because i favor the underdog. thats why i always use amd vs intel. [00:46] I seem to not be able to connect to wireless but I am able to see the wireless networks that are nearby me. Everytime I try to connect to my wireless router it just keeps coming back with having me enter the password over and over. Using WEP. What do I do to fix this? [00:47] Can I see which nfs folders that are shared on another computer anyhow? [00:47] ShawnRisk, version of ubuntu? [00:47] 9.10 [00:47] ShawnRisk, gnome or kde?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:47] sebsebseb: I know, I actually got lots of ram but want something snappier than gnome [00:48] does anyone know how to create a simple video clip for an mp3 file with one of the Ubuntu software? I just want to put a picture through the whole song [00:48] Bolvadur2: XFCE, Fluxbox, LXDE, etc [00:48] madcheeze: gnome [00:48] squircle: I was actually referring to my question above. [00:48] snnw: aah, sorry [00:48] i no longer have network monitor in my upper taks bar, it dissapeared and i reset the pannels but it still dont show up, how cani run it manually?

[00:50] Bolvadur2: in fact I tend to run Gnome with some KDE apps, except the last few days I been using KDE 4 and not on Ubuntu [00:50] Bolvadur2: last few days or so [00:51] ShawnRisk: I'm back === marsha is now known as mdg [00:51] Woo! Karmic clean install! Now, is there a way to loop the line in to the speakers, like there was in Jaunty?

[00:59] Hello, I need you help here. I'm french and I don't know what is the right expression to talk about the index you found at the end of a book that containt a list of keyword and at which page it's referenced into the book.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:59] snnw: you sure you have files that should be there?

[01:00] squircle: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-debian-lenny [01:00] ProfOak: probably quite a few people [01:00] wrong distro, but im sure they have it for ubuntu [01:00] Billiard: .profile should be there, right? It isn't. [01:00] sebsebseb, do I look like someone that need help in french .. no. I want the name of the thing in English .. [01:00] Does anyone know if its possible to list all remote shares on an NFS-server? [01:00] snnw: did you create .profile ? [01:00] ikus060: ok :) [01:00] ikus060: glossary? [01:00] ikus060: you got the name right, an index [01:01] sebsebseb: Is it a popular issue? I was afraid I was alone. [01:01] ProfOak: Flash issues are reasonably common with Ubuntu [01:01] jorik: yeah, but that's courier... i found a pretty good one here: http://craigballinger.com/blog/2009/07/postfix-dovecot-mailserver-on-ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope/ [01:01] ProfOak: since it's not open source [01:01] Billiard, a glossary it's more a list of keyword and it's definition .. isn't it ? [01:01] ProfOak: Adobe's one [01:01] jorik: i'm just going to massively fail when i try to set up clamav and spamassassin [01:01] Billiard: Not that I can remember. But I'm quite sure .gnupg/ and .ssh/ should be present. [01:01] ikus060: i have no idea really, but he already said index, :) [01:01] ikus060: a glossary lists the word definitions, an index is a list with page references [01:01] squircle: thats done in postfix, should be alright [01:02] ProfOak: what's the acstaul issue? [01:02] jorik: at least i know where to come for help :) [01:02] snnw: well, try to make some files there, unmount it, see if the files disappear, mount it, see if the files are there again [01:02] squircle, ok .. then it's an index. Anybody know a good tool to create this kind of index ? [01:02] spydon: think not. just use static ips and keep a list with ips and paths to shared directories [01:03] I've try OpenOffice, but it doesn't seems to have this functionality [01:03] sebsebseb: Well I never had anything like this in previous installs. Sure, fullscreen flash is kinda slow sometimes, but my problem is that for half the flash videos/games/whatever I can't use my mouse to interact with the flash. (ie press the pause button on youtube) [01:03] Billiard: When I try to create a file (.profile), I get permission denied. [01:03] am i terrible at google or is there no ubuntu software for downloading mp3s like soulseek for windows? [01:03] ikus060: It does I've used it before I just don't know exactly how to do it again. [01:03] effigy: soulseek is for linux [01:03] ikus060: There's KOffice and Abiword as well by the way [01:03] Bolvadur2: too bad, do you know if there is a standard share created somewhere when you install the nfsserver? [01:03] ikus060: and for spreadsheets so not what you want to do, but Gnumeric [01:03] does synaptic steal the lock on dpkg even if its not in the act of installing something [01:04] snnw: you dont have write access, you can try to create it with sudo, just to see if its actually getting mounted [01:04] glue: yes i think so [01:04] could anyone using ubuntu 904 please check that php5-curl repo is broken? [01:04] spydon: by default no. as it would create security risk :) [01:04] jorik: really? i only saw the windows exe on their download page [01:04] ProfOak: ok that's in FIrefox? [01:04] Bolvadur2: good :) [01:04] sebsebseb, thanks, but I don't think spreedsheets will solve my problem here .. [01:04] ikus060: that was the second thing [01:05] effigy: I'm pretty sure its in the repos [01:05] sebsebseb: Good point, I haven't tried it with anything else. Yes it is in firefox. [01:05] spydon: you only need to change (install) exports and fstab, that's it [01:05] ikus060: the first thing was two programs, that you could use for your index [01:05] i wanna learn about about linux how it works and how can i modify it any1 knows any good guides online? [01:05] Billiard: Hmm, when I try to umount (`ecryptfs-umount-private`), I get a message saying "Sessions still open, not unmounting". [01:05] ikus060: I wanted to mention Abiword and Gnumeric together, since they go together [01:05] sebsebseb, yeah .. I know .. I will look into it .. maybe the creation of index is easier using Koffice [01:05] ikus060: ,but you don't have to have both installed etc [01:05] snnw: are you inside the directory? your current directory is? [01:05] where is the network maniger applet located, it no longer runs on my taskbar [01:06] ikus060: or Abiword yeah [01:06] or Abiword .. :) [01:06] ProfOak: from my expereince with FLash [01:06] installing the xfce4 metapackage atm :) [01:06] ProfOak: on Ubuntu, but not your issue [01:06] sebsebseb: Getting opera to test it, but any advice until then?

[01:14] ratatim: you mean the image you downloaded magically disappeared/ [01:14] ratatim: it's on your desktop? [01:14] ls -l ~/Desktop [01:14] squircle: Unetbootin can't find it. it's still there [01:15] ratatim: aah [01:15] glue: yes it's on my desktop. that's where i downloaded it to [01:15] this is just a shot in the dark, but what are the permissions on it [01:15] glue: haha beats me. i don't know command worth a dang [01:15] 2 questions. How can I have a (not the windows, another) ntfs partition mount automatically on boot (with the icon on desktop too) 2nd can I hide certain files/directories? eg "pagefile.sys" "$RECYCLE.BIN" "System Volume Information"? [01:15] ratatim: ls -l ~/Desktop [01:16] squircle: should i enter that command or what? haha [01:16] !fstab | korogiannos [01:16] korogiannos: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:16] ratatim: yep :) go into the terminal and enter that [01:16] korogiannos: that answers the first part... the second part is a bit tricker, and I don't know the answer [01:16] Billiard: If it helps, I seem to remember "Sessions still open, not unmounting" comes up when logging out of a VT, while still logged onto GDM or a different VT. [01:17] is GOS still popular ? [01:17] squircle: That's enough to get me started. Thanks [01:17] squircle: It says command not found [01:17] i copy and pasted what you put [01:17] ratatim: ls (LS) l (L) ~/Desktop [01:17] Billiard: Actually, I just confirmed that. [01:17] $B!!(B [01:17] online to help out with basics :) [01:17] ratatim: ls -l ~/Desktop [01:18] isonoooooo: ???? [01:18] squircle: ok now what? haha i got it right that time [01:19] how do I kill a process? [01:19] benc1: kill [01:19] It shows the .iso on there [01:19] benc1: kill -9 pid [01:19] benc1: where pid is the processes ID [01:19] JPSman: thanks [01:19] oddworld [01:19] JPSman: what is -9 [01:19] ZaNeIuM: ????? [01:19] JPSman - also - if you want to process kill a process by name - all copies of it [01:19] pkill process [01:19] kill dash 9 [01:19] no more CPU time [01:19] ratatim: it should say something like -rwxr-xr-x 123 ratatim users [01:20] kill -9 -1 [01:20] ratatim: does it say -rwxr-xr-x? [01:20] Flare183? [01:20] squircle: it says: -rw-r--r-- 1 swedishfish swedishfish 730662912 2009-11-30 11:47 ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso [01:20] ZaNeIuM: oddworld? [01:20] Kill-9: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fow7iUaKrq4 [01:20] ratatim: that's the problem [01:20] squircle: haha what is? [01:20] JPSman: I'm using: 'sudo kill -9 beam.smp' [01:20] oh that works for most missing applets [01:21] ratatim: it can't read the file 'cause it doesn't have the permissions lol [01:21] Hey I have a sound problem. Ubuntu Karmic 64 Bit, and I have pulse audio. For some reason my sound applet is gone too [01:21] JPSman: and getting: 'ERROR: garbage process ID "beam.smp".'

[01:21] is there a way of making scfigure come in at a specific point? i've tried with \begin{SCfigure}[][h!], H, h, and still it comes above my section headline [01:21] squircle: ok [01:21] How come Ubuntu 9.10 is called Karmic Koala [01:21] benc1: run ps aux | grep beam [01:21] ratatim: it should say "changed mode of file to -rwxr-xr-x" [01:22] I mean, Ubuntu 9.04 was Jaunty Jackalope.. what changed lol [01:22] squircle: it says this: chmod: cannot access `ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i316.iso': No such file or directory [01:22] failed to change mode of `ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i316.iso' to 3704 (rwx--Sr-T) [01:22] Dougdoug4: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L [01:22] No I mean [01:22] Why did they change it from upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 [01:22] ratatim: right, sorry... stick sudo in front of that (sudo chmod -v blah blah) [01:22] benc1: that should tell you the process ID of anything called beam [01:22] JPSman: I'm getting a long command as a result [01:22] was ubuntu 8.10 Jaunty Jackalope? [01:23] Dougdoug4, not sure what you mean, every 6 months is a new release, no 8.10 was intrepid ibex [01:23] squircle: haha okie dokie [01:23] Dougdoug4: Because Ubuntu is a on a 6 month release cycle [01:23] Dougdoug4: 9.04 was jaunty [01:23] JPSman: got it. thanks [01:23] Dougdoug4, that was 9.04 [01:23] hm....... ok [01:23] 8.10 = intrepid [01:23] what are they going to name ubnutu 10.4 [01:23] !lucid | Dougdoug4 [01:23] Dougdoug4: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:23] squircle: it's still saying the same thing [01:23] hRb: what???? kill -9 lol [01:23] ratatim: it asked you for your password and everything?

[01:27] Good [01:27] squircle: still nothing. when i search for it i can either choose "computer" or "root" root contains "desktop" and there is nothing to be found [01:27] is there a document that i could read, where once i was finished reading this document, i would no longer be a retarded linux user, and instead would be mediocre or mediocre++ [01:28] ratatim: root, i'm assuming is /root, which is root's home directory. click "computer" and navigate to /home/yourusername/Desktop/ [01:28] get_a_clue, nope [01:28] get_a_clue: if you find one, let us know! [01:28] squircle: ok i'll give that a shot [01:28] better than There you are, brain the size of a pea, pinging me!" [01:28] kostkon: so i should just keep coming here to ask my dumb questions? [01:29] get_a_clue, yeeapp [01:29] Flare183: i'll install blender and check it out [01:29] jimmy51_: Alright [01:29] get_a_clue: we're very loving people [01:29] squircle: when i click on "computer" it only shows the filesystem directory. is it somewhere in there? [01:29] ok, well, good to know [01:29] ratatim: there should be a folder called "home", and then one with your username, and then one called Desktop [01:29] get_a_clue: All you have to do is ask :P [01:30] squircle: found it!!!! haha i feel silly [01:30] ratatim: Nice one XD [01:30] ratatim: it's ok, so do I; I didn't even ask that question in the first place! [01:30] ch [01:30] ratatim: glad it worked out though :D [01:30] squircle: thank you so much! lets hope nothing else goes wrong [01:31] ratatim: if it does, you'll know where to come :) [01:31] squircle: haha yeah. i tried doing this on a windows machine and it kept freezing while trying to extract and copy files... the computer labs here on campus blow [01:32] ratatim: Get your own computer ftw [01:32] ratatim: oh, the fun times i've had with netbootin.... (sarcasm, sarcasm) [01:32] dpkg --configure -a fixed my problems, can someone please explain to me what exactly that did? [01:34] squircle: with the usb boot creator on 8.10 i won't need netbootin again [01:34] ratatim: that's the beauty of it [01:34] can I ping a server locally? [01:34] benc1: Yes [01:34] benc1: ping squircle: care to walk me through adding "/dev/sdb2 on /media/DATA type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)" to fstab (and later sharing it on a windows network) either that or some way to set up remote access to this machine. I'm a little "elsewhere" at the moment and am leaving the country for a while. I need to set this up for my brother and his wife before I leave (or remotely, soon) [01:34] benc1: ping localhost [01:34] I have installed ubuntu studio, all of my sound works properly accept for hydrogen so far. Any hints what to check next? [01:35] * Blue1 resists smarminess [01:36] korogiannos: sure, can we do it via PM? [01:36] is it just keep pinging? [01:36] benc1: yup [01:36] benc1: until you press control+c [01:36] cool :) [01:36] squircle: That would be much appreciated === get_a_clue is now known as streblo [01:40] how to check what graphic card I am using [01:40] Ububegin: lspci [01:40] Ububegin: on the terminal [01:40] Is there a way to manhandle 9.10 into generating a grub.cfg file?

[01:41] Ububegin: I don't what to tell yeah [01:42] madcheeze: Um screenlets I think has a applet that will let you [01:42] screenlets? ok i will check it out.. [01:42] Flare183, thanks!

[01:45] Flare183: sorry about that, I was finishing up a script for bitlbee and just testing it out. [01:45] yyz: Ahh ok [01:45] yyz: No problem [01:46] snnw: im here now [01:46] I need someone running Ubuntu 64 bits to install the package fping. It seems this package is properly installed in 32 bits but not in 64 bits (suid missing). Could anyone help me? [01:47] Billiard: Are you still helping me on the ecryptfs problem? [01:47] snnw: did you get it unmounted? [01:47] Hey Flare183. [01:47] Billiard: no. [01:47] is there a way to force scfigure to come under a section heading? [01:47] snnw: what was the error message again? === usuario-master is now known as vu [01:48] Billiard: "Sessions still open, not unmounting" [01:48] Billiard: I mentioned this above: If it helps, I seem to remember "Sessions still open, not unmounting" comes up when logging out of a VT, while still logged onto GDM or a different VT. [01:49] my built in webcam stopped working in cheese and in other apps that have access to it [01:50] should i submit a bug using ubuntu-bug cheese? [01:50] snnw: are you accessing that mounted directory in any VT right now? [01:50] andresmh: That's a good idea [01:51] Billiard: No. Isn't there a command to check which files are open? [01:51] snnw: lsof [01:51] andresmh: it stopped working in all apps? [01:51] I tried to use System/Administration/Printing/New to add a new printer, selected LPD, entered the IP address, clicked "probe", now that gnome dialog is hung, doesn't redraw, been like that for 20-30 minutes now. [01:53] does anyone know the name of the mac osx for linux skin name? i used to have it but my hdd died :'( [01:53] im talking about the one that actually LOOKS EXACTLY like osx and not similira [01:53] Billiard: lsof /home/snnw/ from chroot returns a warning about /home/snnw/.gvfs, but no open files. [01:53] ChogyDan, I think so. I have another app that uses the webcam but it's a not very common app. Is there another popular app I should try? [01:54] found it [01:54] Billiard: From outside of the chroot, no files listed. [01:54] its called mac4Lin if anyone was curious [01:54] andresmh: gstreamer-properties [01:54] brova: aww, was just going to give u this http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [01:55] I have a failed dns cached on my ubuntu server. How do I clear it from the cache? [01:55] ChogyDan1, It worked. It opened up a huge window with the live stream from my webcam [01:55] plitter: much appreaciated anyways though :D [01:56] plitter: my linux teacher called me a hacker when he saw me running it LOL [01:56] andresmh: try something random for me: change the resolution in gstreamer [01:56] I have a desktop and laptop both running Karmic. They are both working ok but the desktop doesn't play the sound when its ready for a user to log in and it won't show a users face file image. Any ideas why these two things don't work on the desktop? [01:56] I suppose I could check netstat and kill the process that's trying to connect to the printer's IP address. [01:56] I don't see where to change the resolution ChogyDan1 [01:56] brova: hehehe, you should milk the situation and ask him if he wants help getting it;) [01:57] need help, i have download java for linux. how to install it? [01:57] plitter: actually i asked him if he knew what backtrack 4 was :D LOL [01:57] gemilang: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [01:57] plitter: day 1 he yelled at me for logging in as root using sudo. he thinks im the devil, im sure of it [01:58] lol the security @ my school is soo weak... [01:58] Is there a difference between the Open Source Edition of Sun VirtualBox in Synaptic, and the Sun VirtualBox on the Sun website? [01:58] i wish they used linux not windows [01:58] andresmh: Edit > Preferences > resolution [01:59] brova: your lucky you have a linux teacher, wish i had one:P [01:59] hou5ton: ose doesn't let you use usb [01:59] hou5ton: there is an open source and non opensource version in the repos, non opensource has some more features [01:59] hou5ton: The one on the Sun web site might be newer but you would have to check version numbers [01:59] hou5ton: OSE lacks the USB passthrough and maybe the VRDP server. [01:59] ChogyDan1, oh, cheese now works even without changing resolution. Is as if just testing the webcam with gstream-properties fixed it. [01:59] Billiard: I just got ecryptfs-umount-private to not return any errors. (I forgot about dev, proc and sys bind mounts...) But '.profile', which I created earlier, didn't disappear. [02:00] plitter: im taking a college course though where my entire career will be linux in the future. computer systems anaylst [02:00] ChogyDan1, appear gemilang@gemilang-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [02:00] Reading package lists...

[02:00] snnw: ok, so it wanst really mounted there afterall? [02:00] so ... it seems like I should get the non opensource version ... and ... do I need usb passthrough??? [02:00] :off topic: where can I find a channel to discuss politics? [02:00] Ok sorry [02:00] has joined [02:00] gemilang: make sure you have multiverse enabled [02:00] Billiard: apparently not. [02:01] lumpki: ##politics [02:01] gemilang: enable your multiverse repository to install sun-java6-plugin [02:01] lumpki: /join ##politics [02:01] sebsebseb: update, decided to go with wubi under win7 [02:01] how to enable? [02:01] works like a freakin charm [02:01] [02:01] lumpki: ##politics, if you want to discuss it with tinfoil hat wearers, violent racists, and Internet libertarians that are so stupid you want to cry and then go back in time and kill Ayn Rand. [02:01] i have a ati video card. i'm using the latest fglrx driver for it from the ati site. when i open gnometris the part of the window that should be the game background, as a mirror of that which was behind it on the desktop, the frame is drawn ok, but the game area, isn't. anyone know how i can fix this ? [02:02] lol i restarted ubuntu about 3 times in a row completely bewildered why it kept freezing... my mouse was unplugged [02:02] Billiard: will the non opensouce let me use USB? [02:02] i got two appets that no longer load up when i start the computer [02:02] Hodapp: hmmm, maybe i'll just try wikipedia [02:02] there both set in the start up, but they still no longer start up [02:02] brova: nice:) doing physics and would like to be able to write my own programs for the stuff i figure out, seems to take a while to learn though:P [02:03] anyone have any ideas [02:03] does anyone know of any programs to help you memorize stuff, like poems? [02:03] gemilang: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then append multiverse to the official repo deb line like this: deb http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse [02:03] How can I bring XChat back to the foreground after it has been iconified into the system tray? [02:03] hou5ton: yes it will [02:03] i have to memorize a poem for english but i absolutely SUCK at memorizing. i even tried the stacking strategy [02:04] ZaNeIuM: did you try to run them manually? [02:04] andresmh: click it? [02:04] Ok will try right now [02:04] greezmunkey: yes, they do run manually [02:04] Billiard, oops, let me rephrase my question: [02:04] ZaNeIuM: You could remove and reinstall the applets and see if it outputs a message saying why they won't start (ie. file name or location changed, or dependency is not installed or is out-of-date) [02:04] How can I bring XChat back to the foreground, using a keyboard shortcut, after it has been iconified into the system tray? [02:04] gemilang: then afterwards, run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin [02:04] but when i reboot there not there again [02:04] can I clear the local DNS cache without restarting anything? [02:05] Under the resolution setting, i cant set my ubuntu to widescreen resolution... But can i just edit xorg.conf and enter in the resolution values... [02:05] SodaPhish_, you online? [02:05] I have a bad dns entry that was updated and I need it to be reflected [02:05] Billiard: ah ... the nonopensource version isn't in Synaptic .... so ... I need to figure out how to get it from Sun, I guess? [02:06] hou5ton: its in the package manager, you might have to add the multiverse or universe repo, not sure [02:06] hou5ton: just go to the download on the website [02:07] hou5ton: im pretty sure its in the repos, but you can get it from their site too [02:07] Plugh: i just removed the volume controll indicator, but how do i now add it.... :S where the heck is it? [02:08] Ububegin: Do you have resolutions in your xorg.conf to comment if you do then yes [02:08] hey does anyone use vlc on the new ubuntu? [02:08] 9.10 [02:08] is there a way to force a section to come on the top of the page in latex? or a way to make my scfigure go under the section headline? i've tried with \begin{SCfigure}[][h!], H and h [02:08] Jack21: i have it installed, why? [02:09] my laptops screen fades , even when playing movies in vlc [02:09] Jack21, i do [02:09] same here [02:09] benc1, unless you install it there is nothing in Ubuntu that caches dns [02:09] i mean it fades normally , but i am sure its not supposed to happen during vlc playback [02:09] Jack21, you have power options, and you need to turn off the one that fades the screen. [02:09] vlc doesnt seem to interface with the power management [02:10] damm that sucks that i have to do it manually everytime [02:10] Billiard: my wifi is a bit flaky today, did you receive my last message? [02:10] Jack21, you can try caffeine [02:10] so no real automatic solution then ? [02:10] snnw: i dont think so [02:10] ZaNeIuM: Right click panel, Add to panel... It should be in the list [02:10] madcheeze, media players should auto change power management during playback [02:10] yea that stuff usually keeps me going when i am tired [02:10] so is it true that there is a problem with wireless in 9.10? [02:10] Billiard: apparently not, I said. [02:10] Jack21, https://launchpad.net/caffeine [02:10] Jack21, nice app [02:10] ok cool thanks [02:11] snnw: yea i got that [02:11] Plugh: i tryed that a long time ago its wasnt there [02:11] what is caffeine for ? [02:11] Rajasun, after appear source list then? [02:11] Jack21, check the url i gave you. all the info is there [02:11] there is no volume controll or network manger [02:11] oh cool thas just what i need thanks [02:12] ybeddyj, i thought that was a setting you had to setup inside of vlc... [02:12] can i install directly from synaptic manager? [02:12] ZaNeIuM: network manager is "NetworkManager Applet" [02:12] snnw: are you using encryptfs source and destination with the same directory? [02:12] gemilang: check to see what u have for your official Ubuntu repo deb line...do u see things like karmic main restricted universe multiverse [02:12] Hi, I'm having problems with a Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS installation using Wubi on XP [02:12] madcheeze , i tried looking for a setting but cant find it [02:12] i know its not in my list [02:12] Jack21, no, either download the deb or add the ppa and then install it using synaptic [02:12] kostkon ok cool [02:12] Jack21, let me see on mine [02:12] Billiard: ChogyDan ... got it from the site ... they had it all ready to go for all the different versions of Ubuntu [02:12] is there any hex editor that let me open /dev/sad1, read-only is enough, and search for something? I lost a file. [02:13] ubuntu wants 4gigs of free space on / to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. I can't free up that much space is there anything I can do to get it to upgrade in pieces instead or maybe something else? [02:13] Rajasun, nope [02:13] so can anyone help me with wireless? I can't connect [02:13] its not in the pannles but it was in the startup untill i removed it [02:13] johnzorn: hmm, sudo apt-get clean? [02:13] deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe [02:13] ZaNeIuM: Add custom item? What I see running here is "nm-applet" and "gnome-volume-control-applet" [02:14] btw , the new ubuntu software centre is cool . but some monkeys left out a basic download speed display , and a time left thinggy maybe [02:14] ZaNeIuM: Those are what I see from ps aux [02:14] thief, dd may be your only choice there, but I couldn't tell you how... [02:15] i definitely like the software download thing. i think they got that from the android market type idea.. [02:15] i like it whereever it came from [02:15] Jack21: There are other "basic" things missing from Karmic. Program to select what sounds play for certain events, program to customize the gdm log in screen [02:15] When in BIOS and trying to boot from USB drive should it be on top or can it be below the internal hdd? [02:15] thief, and even if that would work, I doubt you could reconstruct your file... [02:15] Jack21, installing vlc really quick... [02:15] 8.04.1 LTS used to work, but no more. And because it was installed under Windows using Wubi and is not a separate hd partition, I can't stick in a CD and reboot. [02:15] gemilang: for everyone's sanity, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list -> replace all in that file with http://pastebin.com/f17923def [02:16] greezmunkey, I probably can, it fits on 4k [02:16] madcheeze what do you mean ? [02:16] greezmunkey, I see if I can do something with dd, thanks [02:16] Plugh:why did all this stuff get left out ? [02:16] possible to clone a drive in 10 minutes? [02:16] Jack21, I'm not the one to ask. [02:16] gemilang: then run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin [02:16] Rajasun, can i using software package manager to install java? [02:16] hmm maybe the log in screen changed a lot?? it looks quite advanced [02:17] Skyturnred: how big of a drive? [02:17] though my old log in screen was amazing [02:17] it was a red background [02:17] umm... about 100 gigs only [02:17] with a woman [02:17] hey, i restarted a server that i primarily use vnc with but vnc doesn't get activated until after someone logs on. Is there a way i can kick vnc off via an ssh connecton?? [02:17] Login screen doesn't look that different other than graphics. [02:17] Skyturnred: i think it will be longer than 10 minutes, but idk [02:17] But, I was using a different distro before that had much of that. [02:17] naked :) ,, but really creative/arty/erotic ,, loved my log in screen , but have to say that in 9.10 the log in screen is actually good [02:17] gemilang: u can after adding the multiverse and while doing it also the restricted and universe repositories [02:17] Billiard: k thanks [02:18] gemilang: and then sync your sources [02:18] Rajasa, thank you. will try right now [02:18] i removed the applet from the startup setting and now i want to readd it, but where are the applets located? [02:18] Billiard: That was my internet completely dying... [02:18] are you using a layover mount for encryptfs? [02:19] snnw ^ [02:19] same source and destination directory [02:19] gemilang: no probs...just that I prefer commandline tools for package management needs that's all [02:19] anyone have any experience with LG blu ray burners [02:19] ZaNeIuM: /usr/bin/nm-applet, /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control-applet [02:20] Rajasun, after i save source list, then back to command line..... it works [02:20] thanks i hope this works [02:20] ZaNeIuM: good luck [02:20] gemilang: glad to hear [02:20] Billiard: ChogyDan ... hmmm ... I have VirtualBox installed .... but where is it? [02:20] Billiard: I'm not sure. The jaunty installer (alternate cd) set this up. How can I determine if I'm using a layover mount? [02:20] Rajasun, :) [02:20] :) [02:20] hou5ton: reboot [02:20] ok === Mike||gone is now known as Mike_lifeguard === jtisme is now known as jtholmes [02:20] going off to grab a bite bbl [02:20] and I changed my group permissions to include it [02:21] snnw1: is the mount in your fstab? [02:21] chogy [02:21] jtisme: no, but I would expect them to look pretty much like all other burners as far as the OS is concerned... [02:21] ChogyDan: ok [02:21] Jack21, === snnw1 is now known as snnw [02:21] hou5ton: really? I thought the installer handled that [02:21] losha, thanks === RaNdY is now known as Guest57387 [02:21] Jack21, there is a bug [02:21] Jack21, hang on let me linky you [02:22] Billiard: No, it's not listed in fstab. [02:22] snnw: mount it, and check mtab [02:22] Billiard: no mounts listed for /home/snnw/ [02:23] Jack21, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/428884 [02:23] snnw: how do you mount the encryptfs? [02:23] Billiard: ecryptfs-mount-private. Oddly enough, it doesn't ask for a passphrase anymore. It did the first time. [02:25] Rajasun, is that Okay even im using ubuntu 8.04, cause in http://pastebin.com/f17923def is for 8.10? [02:25] snnw: whats the full command you use? [02:25] Billiard: just `ecryptfs-mount-private` [02:25] snnw: ok, im not familiar with ..-mount-private [02:26] i didnt know that vlc would disable the power options... but it makes sense... [02:27] gemilang: damn!...replace all references from karmic to hardy [02:27] l [02:27] Thanks to all who helped me get virtualbox installed. [02:28] Rajasun, Ok [02:28] Hi, I was wondering about printable/DIY ubuntu boxes like the kind you would get if you bought it, but google searches seem to be incredibly useless, as the only strings i can think of are "ubuntu box" and "ubuntu packaging", both of which obviously turn of totally irrelevant results in large numbers [02:28] hou5ton: yw [02:28] Hey guys. I just installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 onto an old Dual PIII server onto a 9GB SCSI drive. The install goes perfectly fine, but upon reboot, server will not boot, says no OS found. I confirmed that my bios is set to boot from that SCSI drive. I've searched but haven't come up with any answers. Thanks. [02:28] Billiard: According to /home/snnw/README.txt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/332067/ [02:28] if anyone knows if this has been done or not it would be greatly appreciated [02:28] for future reference, how do i figure out what display my X session is running on so that i can save it when my window manager crashes.... i tried localhost:0.6 and xxx:0.6 where xxx is my hostname, but no dice trying metacity --replace --display= from a TTY [02:28] nigtv: you want it preinstalled? [02:28] Is there a way to trigger with the keyboard the equivalent of clicking on a system tray icon? [02:29] ChogyDan: i mean like you can buy ubuntu in the store, and it comes in an official package, with graphics and such, I was wondering there is a way to print those out, or something like that [02:29] so i can essentially make my own packages that resemble the official ones [02:29] gemilang: if u r to use the official repos i.e. for updating your install and installation of new apps, changing all mention from karmic to hardy in that sources.list from pastebin wil be fine...just double check to see the rest have hardy repos e.g. gstreamer [02:30] mainly, I just want the official images, it doesnt have to be in the context of making your own package fo rit [02:30] for it* [02:30] snnw: the command doesnt give any error? [02:30] nigtv: one sec, I may have something [02:30] thank you [02:30] rajasun, will see now. thank [02:30] Billiard: no, no output whatsoever. [02:30] also, if there is a place to buy JUST the packaging material [02:31] but that seems unlikely [02:31] nigtv: here we go: http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/ [02:31] ty [02:31] snnw: do you have a directory, ~/Private [02:31] gemilang: np...excuse me while I finish up on my meal [02:31] Billiard: no [02:31] When I boot from a USB drive to upgrade linux, the USB drive isn't on top of the HDD and shit on the BIOS menu. I heard that it needs to be for a proper install. What do I do? [02:31] ratatim: language :/ [02:32] how to hide the volumes in ubuntu [02:32] ratatim: you are booting from a usb to do an upgrade? Are you doing a clean install? [02:32] ChogyDan: `this is perfect thank you [02:32] yw [02:32] snnw: sorry, idk, dont know much about encryptfs-mount-private [02:32] hri: you can unmount them [02:32] How do I boot to a SCSI drive installation? [02:32] nigtv: i want to totally hide it from computer [02:32] I have a hauppage pvr-150 plugged in. I can see it in lspci (Internext iTVC16, MPEG-2 encoder). However, /dev/video[0,1,25,33] are all just different modes on my webcam. I don't see anything from the pvr in /dev. Can someone help me debug it further? === Guest57387 is now known as RaNdY [02:33] nigtv: english. haha [02:33] hri: well if you dont want it to ever be used you could disconnect it, but if you want to use it sometimes, you can unmount it, and/or take it off of the automount list [02:33] nigtv: is that what you meant? [02:33] Billiard: it appears to be a wrapper around mount.ecryptfs_private [02:33] ratatim: no you cussed lol [02:33] anyone know how to change the colors of mutt's interface? i can only seem to change the colors of messages with muttrc [02:33] What kind of coding is this \x16\x1C\xCD\x0A\x4A\xD4\xE1\x7F\xAC\x3D\x4B\x84\x1F\x3D\x9E? [02:33] ah shoot where is the automount list [02:33] nigtv: hahahaha oh i apologize. i'm a tad bit frustrated [02:33] nigtv: i cant understand [02:34] c0ld: hex? [02:34] c0ld: thats unicode [02:34] hri: not an english speaker? [02:34] ok thanx [02:34] I just installed 9.10 , receiving "A hard disk may be failing" error as soon as it boots up. Never had an issue with the drive before, was recently running 8.04 on it. Anyone know a fix for this ? [02:35] nigtv: not that much [02:35] If you do not want to have the volume show up on its own, you can tell ubuntu to unmount it, uhm [02:36] rav: The fix? Get a new hard drive. Also, run a smart checking on your drive. [02:36] hard to describe [02:36] nigtv: after unmount it will be shown in the computer i want to not shown in the computer also [02:36] hri: you could just unplug it? [02:36] leaf-sheep, run a smart checking? [02:36] nigtv: thanks [02:36] rav: S.M.A.R.T. [02:37] argh [02:37] rav: Let me find you the package. [02:37] i think he was talking about in thunar [02:37] oh well [02:37] install smartmontools [02:37] lol [02:37] lotsa wierd happenings in linux-ubuntu, is this normal for linux in general? [02:37] thanks [02:37] smartctl -a /dev/sda [02:37] or whatever [02:38] rav: gnome-disk-utility for GUI. :o [02:38] leaf-sheep, thanks, i'll give it a shot [02:38] one day i have sound, the next day i no longer have the icon [02:38] kind of frustration, esp when all you know is windows [02:39] rav: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [02:39] i'm trying to upgrade from jaunty to karmic, I seem to have a problem [02:39] no desktop after restart ... i'm stuck in terminals. [02:39] excellent [02:39] rav: You only need to do the command, not adding script for shutdown or email. [02:39] where should i be looking for error messages? [02:39] Billiard: When I run, /sbin/umount.ecryptfs_private || echo $?, it returns '1'. No error messages though.. [02:40] alright [02:40] Billiard: Is there someone else who could help me further with ecryptfs and the associated tools? [02:41] apt-get upgrade complains about deskbar-applet while unpacking libdeskbar-tracker [02:41] elspeth: can you post the errors? [02:41] ChogyDan: um. how does one copy and paste from a terminal again? I can't remember, it's been a while [02:42] elspeth: what is the main complaint? [02:42] ChogyDan: no x windows. [02:42] well, that's the complaint i have. [02:42] madcheeze: hm in the link it says its an ubuntu bug ,, not vlc ,, but who knows ,, caffeine works as a temp solution [02:42] elspeth: missing dependency? [02:42] whats up? why am i getting only 5000B/s from synaptic? [02:43] Ok how would I go about decrypting this \x16\x1C\xCD\ [02:43] other than that, running apt-get upgrade gives "trying to overwrite /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet which is also in package deskbar-applet" [02:43] elspeth: you should rename that file [02:44] before it exits with "errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libdeskbar-tracker ..." [02:44] ChogyDan: to deskbar-applet.old or similar? [02:44] elspeth: it always says that if you get an error. yeah [02:45] oh, goodgood. lemme give that a go. === linux is now known as mdg [02:45] ShawnRisk: I made it [02:45] nice [02:46] I am trying to setup a WPA wireless network connection in Ubuntu 9.10, but not sure how to do this. Any ideas? [02:46] ChogyDan: well, that fixed that problem ... now dist-upgrade is barfing. [02:47] mdg: want to try again? === Hanibal is now known as Guest27025 [02:47] ChogyDan: "couldn't configure pre-depend openoffice.org-core for openoffice.org-filter-binfilter, probably a dependency cycle." [02:47] ChogyDan: anything i can do other than apt-get remove on openoffice? [02:48] sorry to be a pain, i'd just like to get my system back to something a little more usable :/ [02:48] elspeth: maybe remove -binfilter [02:48] ShawnRisk: what we know so far is that you are using WPA now and when you try to access your network you are asked for a password and get into a loop right? [02:48] hm [02:48] ok, my laptop is running hot all the time, does anyone else have this issue with koala? I have Radeon HD 3100 ATI graphics card, any thoughts?? === c is now known as charitwo [02:48] mdg: right [02:49] ChogyDan: thanks! dist-upgrade is now going [02:49] sorry to be so clueless. [02:49] ShawnRisk: no matter what password you use, you just keep getting asked for a password right? [02:49] elspeth: clueless? you arent doing that bad [02:49] right [02:50] Does anyone know if 9.10 (I dont' use it yet) asks for a keyring password first when setting up a network? [02:50] no ATI people out there? or no overheating going on? [02:51] let's try this angle, anyone running Ubuntu on with ATI graphics card (Radeon)?? [02:51] ChogyDan: maybe it's a side-effect of spending a week around some very clueful people ... [02:51] shane2peru, ati has a tool for clocking down/up the video card for linux [02:51] elspeth: hehe, I see :) [02:51] usser, ahh, there we go, ok, do you know the name of that? [02:51] hey is it possible to swap the shift and control keys? [02:51] Can anyone help me with getting my wireless et up on my newly-installed macbook w/ koala? [02:51] Does anyone know if there are changes in network setup in 9.10? [02:51] usser, this laptop has been the pits with Ubuntu/Linux in general since I bought it [02:52] hello [02:52] It only displays wired connections in networkmanager and doesn [02:52] mdg: no one knows [02:52] t detect any missing or uninstalled drivers (or any drivers at all) in hardware manager [02:53] ShawnRisk: perhaps we can find something in the ubuntu wiki [02:53] ok [02:53] Epamek: What wifi device is in your laptop? [02:53] jadams: you sure it does not show up in /dev/video if the drivers get loaded that is where it will be if it has digital tuner then it will be in the dvb folder also [02:53] I think I lost use of my pageup/down keys .... [02:54] shane2peru, hang on lemme see what its called. [02:54] Needing help with a ATIVA digital photo frame, does anybody own one in here? [02:54] usser, I searched the repos, and didn't seem to find anything [02:55] ShawnRisk: as soon my updates have run, I will check out the networking forum on ubuntuforums [02:56] mdg: ok [02:56] Hey, I can not connect to my modem through LAN connection on Ubuntu 9.10. [02:57] hello everybody [02:57] i have a problem .. Can anyone help ? [02:57] nope [02:57] AwaDoV: Not until you state the problem. [02:57] !ask | AwaDoV [02:57] AwaDoV: 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. :-) [02:57] ShawnRisk: maybe you can help luomol while we are waiting [02:58] hey guys and gals [02:58] ok [02:58] hehe this is a first [02:58] i can't view full screen in youtube ? [02:58] luomo1: what have you tried? [02:58] im using gftp (x) and i connect to the remote site fine.. but i cant connect to my local directory??? WTF [02:58] adadow - what browser? [02:58] AwaDoV: are you asking us? [02:59] yead DaZ [02:59] yea [02:59] would it be a better idea to go back to a 32bit install of ubuntu? from time to time I have trouble getting things to work properly....why is it taking so long for apps to migrate over to 64bit. LOL... [02:59] you can't. [02:59] yeah [02:59] whats the init file? [03:00] has anyone here used the kernel PPA? [03:00] UnNaturalHigh: which ppa? [03:00] ShawnRisk: I'm off to ubuntuforums... [03:00] ShawnRisk:I have my network card of broadcom b43xx seris. So i cant connect to my wifi. So i thought initially it is better to connect through lan but i cant connect with that also.I have done iwconfig [03:00] mdg: ok [03:00] ChogyDan, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [03:01] i was told to ask about it from #httpd === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:01] hey DaZ are you here ? [03:01] UnNaturalHigh: neat [03:01] i'm not [03:01] luomo1: Which b43xx chip do you have? [03:02] luomo1, chances are you just need to download the firmware for your card and you will be good to go [03:02] oh you are Amazing to answer while you aren't here :D [03:02] BCM4311 [03:02] anyone? [03:02] same as me [03:02] Yup, that one is supported. [03:02] pilif12p: Need more context to answer that question. Init file for what? [03:02] luomo1: I have the same [03:02] I'd suggest linuxwireless.org for information. [03:03] Plugh: i dunno. they just told me to edit it to get apache to start up on boot [03:03] from where i have to download the firmware and how to install. [03:03] www.linuxwireless.org. [03:03] luomo1, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware [03:03] pilif12p: /etc/init.d has the startup files. [03:03] Installation instructions should be at the site, too. [03:03] ok [03:04] pilif12p: you can also use chkconfig to see what will start on boot [03:04] ok [03:04] pilif12p: chkconfig --list [03:04] luomo1, look to the part that says "You are using the b43 driver from linux-2.6.25 or newer" [03:04] i can't view full screen in youtube.com ... can you help guys ? [03:04] luomo1: I have one of those in my laptop. I found some info about setting it up. let me see what I can find. [03:04] AwaDoV: get a faster computer? :S [03:05] :D [03:05] if I compile a kernel do I get the headers as well or do I need to compile them also? [03:05] AwaDoV: what cpu you have? [03:06] luomo1: IIRC, there was a utility I used to get the firmware. something to do with bm43-fwcutter I think. [03:06] celeron 2.8 [03:06] Plugh: I got that and it works, but when I connect to the network I want, the internet doesn't work [03:06] ctmjr, apparently the drivers didn't get loaded then. How could I tell? I read the PVR150 works out of the box in karmic, and I no longer have to install ivtv...is that true? [03:08] Plugh: is that utility available already in Ubuntu or i have to download that [03:08] ShawnRisk: Its working great on my laptop. Once I installed the firmware files (which I had previously grabbed while trying to use Fedora on the machine), Ubuntu recognized the hardware, asked me if I wanted to use the proprietary drivers, and I was running in no time. [03:08] jadams: from what i understand you are correct it is supported you might install ivtv-utils [03:08] Plugh: me too but nothing is working for me [03:09] jadams, ivtv-utils has the extra bits to do some of the channel changing. My PVR-150 is working fine. i have heard there can be different, and non-supported, boards that label themselves as PVR-150. Not sure now true that might still be.

[03:12] ShawnRisk: can you connect and disconnect at will? [03:12] wahben: does mplayer play smoothly if you use -ao null ? [03:12] Is there a good way to find what package provides a certain file? [03:12] luomo1: Might be a separate package but I was using Fedora at the time I ran the tool to obtain the needed firmware files [03:12] <_csmith> hi, i have a question about netboot - I can't seem to stop it from installing x11, cups and a bunch of desktop junk - is there any way to only get it to install the "base" system?

[03:13] racecar56: also maybe "only free software" [03:13] nemo: k [03:13] racecar56: all 3 should be options in boot menu [03:13] is there a karmic koala wiki? [03:13] nemo: i'll go check it out [03:13] wahben: lemme know about -ao null - maybe it is the program I love to hate [03:14] Plugh: yes [03:14] nemo: graphic card is onboard radeon according to lspci [03:14] wahben: ah. ATI [03:14] wahben: ok. using fglrx? [03:14] ShawnRisk, and you are seeing the device under Network Connections? [03:14] nemo, not sure about that... is that a package I should install? [03:15] Plugh: which devices? [03:15] wahben: probably [03:15] wahben: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [03:15] Is there an easy way to test different versions of a program. For instance, I reported a but with Wine, using wine version 1.0.1, and someone asked me to test with version 1.1.33. Could I get version 1.1.33 seperately? Or should I just update to it, and then is there a way to revert back to 1.0.1 if I find 1.1.33 unstable?? [03:15] ShawnRisk, System -> Preferences -> Network Connections [03:16] Oddbio: well. you could enable the winehq repo [03:16] nemo: how to I skip to the middle of a film with mplayer - cli? I need to test later than generic... [03:16] Oddbio: then, disable it [03:16] Oddbio: in any case yes, you can revert in synaptic package manager [03:16] ShawnRisk: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/faq-keyring.html [03:16] wahben: -ss 5:00 [03:16] wahben: seeks to 5 minutes [03:16] thanks [03:17] * pilif12p waves to nemo [03:17] nemo: if I dissable it, that will go back to wine 1.0.1 that ubuntu currently uses? I didn't think it would be that simple [03:17] Oddbio, you could alwas install VirtualBox, and a fresh ubuntu VM, then test all you want. [03:17] hey guys u guys know command for nickserv to resend your registration e-mail? [03:17] luomo1: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/modem-connect.html [03:17] Oddbio: no. but it is almost that simple [03:17] nemo, still jerky aith -ao null [03:17] Oddbio: just go to the package in synaptic and install it [03:17] MaXubuntu: Try #freenode [03:17] nemo, ill try to install fglrx.... see if it fixes something [03:17] wahben: yeah. I suspect is just you need graphics accel [03:17] wahben: on plus side, you'll get compiz too. [03:18] nemo, makes sense, because it has trouble rendering GTK actually... [03:18] what will happen at the end of the support window on intrepid? will the repos vaporize or will they still be there to rust over for some time aftwards? [03:18] ill try that and be back if need is be :-) thanks for your help. peace [03:18] venger: you should still be able to install the packages, they just won't get patched for compromises [03:19] * nemo waves back to pilif12p [03:20] <_csmith> Is there a way for me to install ubuntu-server via netboot? [03:20] the floodbots are fighting for dominance? [03:20] <_csmith> everything i try it starts to pull down x11 and all that junk [03:20] I'm having an issue with checkgmail, I get http://paste2.org/p/541428 [03:20] ShawnRisk: here's a link to troubleshooting wireless: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html - you might want to work through each step, even though they don't all apply to you [03:21] Regarding bm43 and WiFi --> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 === MaXubuntu is now known as MaXlMuS [03:21] So there's the menu at System -> Preferences -> Sound, is there a way to change those options through the console? [03:22] wmmoonclock [03:23] Carborane: 9.04? [03:23] I don't seem to be able to uncompress a .7z file... anyone got any pointers? [03:23] nemo: aye [03:23] Carborane: alsamixer [03:24] gbear14275: 7z [03:24] gbear14275: should be prompted for package. is in repos [03:24] yeah... nemo dl'ed all the 7z stuff from synaptic but no go [03:24] gbear14275: ... 7z x filename [03:25] its the new tomato firmware 1.27... anyone else having problems with it? [03:25] I am going to give up [03:25] tunapie [03:26] ShawnRisk: Is your router configured to only accept connections from certain MAC addresses? [03:27] zz [03:28] ShawnRisk, Also check the log files of the WiFi router for messages to see if it is seeing an attempt by your WiFi device to connect [03:28] ShawnRisk: are you having issues connecting to your wifi? [03:28] ShawnRisk: one question - does your password have an ' in it? [03:28] (wifi passphrase) [03:28] nemo: nope [03:28] oh well. [03:29] I am giving up forget, I can't use ubuntu it is driving me nuts [03:29] all I need to do is connect to the internet and it is not leetting me in [03:29] nemo: it seems it doesn't make a difference [03:29] nemo: :( [03:29] What is that bar with info in it called in irc. I.E in here it's: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | FAQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Karmic is released! http://www.ubuntu.com/download & http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [03:30] woah sorry, dint know it was so long [03:30] racecar56: you're not using one of the beta CDs are you? [03:30] nemo: no [03:30] nevets04, /topic [03:30] if someone could help help me, I would be so much happy, I want to get this done today [03:30] Thanks [03:30] ShawnRisk: If you have the drivers installed and Ubuntu is seeing the device, its all a matter of configuration. Check the router to see if it has logged a connection attempt from the mac address of your wifi device. [03:30] nemo: it's a 9.10 cd [03:30] racecar56: well. if 9.04 boots, you could install that and upgrade from that [03:30] nemo: i'll try it. [03:30] ShawnRisk: I thought you said you'd given up. That disinclined me to even think about it further :-p [03:31] Its time to go play with the cat. bbl. [03:31] :P [03:31] I was joking :P [03:31] xD [03:31] ShawnRisk: how was I to know? or even care? channel is noisy enough without nonsense [03:31] hello guys [03:31] anyone here know some easy to use video capture software for a linux noob ? :) [03:31] ShawnRisk: anyway. using ubuntu 9.10 default? [03:31] nemo: true [03:31] 9.10 default [03:31] bunch of linux noobs like me here makes me feel at home [03:32] tlol [03:32] ShawnRisk: can you show me the output from dmesg after an attempt to make a connection? [03:32] ShawnRisk: (pastebin it) [03:32] ShawnRisk: (dmesg is on the commandline) [03:32] itilious: video capture - you mean for recording your desktop? [03:32] itilious: or recording from video in on a card? [03:33] nemo, the latter [03:33] i'm using the leadtek 2000xp rm [03:33] ican see the video input just fine with TVtime, just can't find an easy enough application to be able to capture it in ubuntu [03:33] anyone know how to make a bootable winXP flash drive? [03:33] hey is it possble to mount say /dev/sdb1 to multiple folders? [03:33] itilious: not something I'm terribly familiar with, but try searching synaptic for v4l or video4linux packages? [03:33] itilious: just a thought [03:34] Doonz: I'm pretty sure that's a yes, is possible to mount something in multiple locations... [03:34] Doonz: I have a distinct recollection of reading, then trying that :) [03:34] Doonz: just curious though - why would you do that? [03:35] sezotove: that's a ridiculously hard thing to do. I've looked into it :( [03:35] is it? [03:35] sezotove: there are some writeups online, but it is non-trivial [03:35] why is it so darned hard [03:35] sezotove: 1) is proprietary. 2) see (1) [03:35] sezotove: WinPE can supposedly be setup on USB though [03:35] lol [03:35] but again, was a PITA [03:35] nemo, i can't even get vlc to recognize the card in capture mode [03:35] I was looking into it for work, decided I couldn't be bothered. not enough incentive [03:36] nemo: i remember it couldn't boot 8.10, it went into an infinite black screen with the "spinning wait" cursing [03:36] I'm trying to install 9.10 server onto a system I've configured using the mobo's built-in Adaptec HW RAID1 to mirror 2 drives. [03:36] nemo: *cursor [03:36] itilious: vlc would not have been my first choice, but ok :) [03:36] nemo: O_o [03:36] WinPE ill look at it [03:36] But when I get to partitioning disks, it tells me no root filesystem and errors out. [03:36] racecar56: you could get more info if you booted with the splash and quiet options removed [03:36] nemo: anyway i'm trying 9.04 now [03:36] racecar56: do the noapic acpi=off at the same time... [03:36] nemo: pastebin.com/d380e3f9b [03:37] tauren: ohhhh [03:37] nemo i have a 5tb raid 5 array that i would like to mount in /home/user/raidsets/array_1 and then from there have a directory structure under /home/user/a [03:37] nemo: 9.04 locked up the computer [03:37] tauren: I know where this is going :D :D [03:37] here's what i'm trying to do: use mobo HW RAID1. [03:37] nemo: and numlock wouldn't turn on [03:37] tauren: you know how those mobos claim to have HW raid? [03:37] tauren: it is A LIE [03:37] nemo: now i'll try noapic acpi=off. [03:37] This is a Supermicro server board though [03:37] tauren: it is basically the RAID equivalent of winmodems :( :( [03:37] nemo: with 9.04 === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [03:37] Ubuntu detected Serial ATA RAID and asked if I wanted to use it. [03:37] tauren: if you say so. I have no familiarity apart from fact that several "server class" computers at work have that failing [03:38] tauren: ummm. hmmm. I'm still skeptical. but ok :) [03:38] ok, that's good to know [03:38] tauren: that's my tentative diagnostic [03:38] I've used software raid in the past with no issues [03:38] maybe i should just stick to that. [03:38] aye [03:38] tauren: that's what we ended up doing :D [03:38] tauren: hell, if the OS is going to do the heavy lifting *anyway* [03:38] maybe im going about this wron [03:38] tauren: maybe I can find the article I was reading on this. one sec :D [03:38] nemo: so what's the best way to get mirroring and lvm set up? [03:39] i know how to do it in centos [03:39] maybe i should mount dev/sdb1 _. /home/user/a home/user/b [03:39] but the ubuntu installer isn't as friendly [03:39] nemo: any ideas? [03:39] tauren: sorry, machine we setup that way was slack - no ubuntu familiarity on this front [03:40] well how about this is there a way to make my flash drive be seen in a VM? [03:40] tauren: actually, I'm trying to remember why I stepped into this noisy channel. so many questions [03:40] Are there any differences between Ubuntu server/desktop other than the lack of desktop environment server-side? [03:40] nemo, ok. i'll try to do software raid first i guess. [03:40] ShawnRisk: ... I'm still waiting for you to give me what I asked for [03:40] I did [03:40] I am going to compile the kernel but "make menuconfig" doesnt work. Am I doing it wrong? [03:40] ShawnRisk: ah. sorry. missed that. [03:40] ShawnRisk: understandable, I hope you realise :) [03:40] * nemo reads [03:40] hi nemo [03:40] yep [03:41] when i type 'mount' it shows '//mypc/public on /mnt/mypc type cifs (rw,mand)' yet when i "ls /mnt/mypc" it says "cannot access /mnt/mypc: No such device or address". What gives? i have a line in my /etc/fstab for it: //mypc/public /mnt/mypc cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/infid/.smbcredentials,uid=1000 0 0 [03:41] sezotove: i run Vbox and i have folder i put symbloc links to things i want to share ... flash drive [03:41] nemo: failure: it does the same ol' lockup [03:41] and i can access it find with smb://mypc/Public [03:41] ShawnRisk: [ 2446.360046] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:26:50:6c:81:59 [03:41] [ 2446.560061] wlan0: authentication with AP 00:26:50:6c:81:59 timed out [03:41] ShawnRisk: my tentative diagnostic is that you have MAC filtering on the router [03:41] how do I install acroread and acroread plugin on 64bit karmic? apt-get find nothing [03:41] hi there! how is it possible to install ubuntu,with the base system only? [03:41] http://pastebin.com/d583c5da6 [03:42] Failrar? xD [03:42] ShawnRisk: I'm going back to what Plugh said - check your router logs [03:42] johnson_b:How did u do that im running virtualBox as well [03:42] !pdf [03:42] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [03:42] Gnewt: There are different packages available on the install media (CD/DVD), including (but not limited to) the desktop environment. [03:42] nemo: i wonder why this is happening.. [03:42] !adobe [03:42] racecar56: remove quiet and splash, enable acpi=off noapic [03:42] racecar56: then watch the boot [03:42] nemo: will try [03:42] Gnewt: I'm not sure of exactly what packages are different, but in any case, they both use the same repositories, so there's no problem installing them except the use of an internet connection === tyler is now known as Sunrex [03:43] if i want to use software raid1 with lvm on top of it, is it still true that I need a small non-lvm partition for /boot? [03:43] !acroread [03:43] whats up guys [03:43] How do you add in a replacement hard drive for RAID1? [03:43] that was the case a number of years ago. [03:43] I re-synced, but it has no active partitions =/ [03:43] Hiya [03:43] I need help installing software... [03:43] hey guys, my accounts are being hacked how do i find out information about the person doing it? their ip address is 222.154.132.18 i would just liek to know what city they're from, because i have a feeling it's a friend of mine. Also perhaps what system he is running, just info i could use to figure out who this asshole is [03:44] nemo: can you pm what you are saying? [03:44] google the ip [03:44] ShawnRisk: I prefer you speak in-channel so other people can comment. For one thing, my tolerance limit for this channel is fairly short [03:44] it should give you a rough estimation [03:44] ShawnRisk: I'm about to go find something more fun to do like play Hedgewars [03:44] banisterfiend: google whois IP to find the provider, then mail/email the provider for further details. [03:44] Can anybody help me? [03:44] My internet is way slower in Ubuntu than in Windows, (I'm dual-booting) any suggestions? [03:44] sezotove: there a lot on web about it short and sweet is to open setting share machine folder and the open share from in vbox [03:44] nemo: I missed what you said as there is too much going on in the channel [03:44] Chico: Which software are you trying to install, and which verson of Ubuntu are youy running? [03:45] kaski what browser are you using [03:45] is it possible to install ubuntu with the text only base system? [03:45] Thanks Johnson [03:45] ShawnRisk: I used your name with everything I said. scroll back. it will be highlighted [03:45] I'm trying to install Sony Vegas Platinum 9. I'm on Xubuntu 9.10 or whatever the latest is. [03:45] bradley: its equally slow on firefox and epiphany [03:45] Why does nobody here know anything about RAID? [03:45] I've been asking for help for over half a week now with no solution and only TWO responses. [03:45] I have the latest (Not beta) Wine [03:45] Howdy, people. [03:45] Sunrex: ask tauren :) [03:45] Hello Liverbones [03:45] tauren: You know much about raid? [03:45] nemo: haha! [03:45] assuming hes a person here :) [03:46] 22:42 < nemo> ShawnRisk: I'm going back to what Plugh said - check your router logs [03:46] Chico: Ah so you want help with *wine*. That's a different story; I've never had much luck getting things working well on Wine. [03:46] Oh. [03:46] :/ [03:46] I just have a quick question about Upstart jobs. [03:46] Sunrex: what do you need? not sure i can help [03:46] I just wish they'd run these softwares. Why don't they? [03:46] Chico: Does winehq say it's compatible with Sony Vegas? [03:46] Sort-of. [03:46] nemo: ...it worked this time [03:46] racecar56: mm. [03:46] I looked it up on winehq and it said it's possible [03:46] nemo: it's on the desktop now. [03:46] Chico: because Sony can't be bothered supporting linux because (sadly) it's such a minority operating system [03:46] racecar56: well. maybe the issue was w/ the bootsplash :) [03:46] In order to remove a job from Upstart (say, usplash) could I simply rename the .conf file for it? Would that work, while keeping the file usable? [03:46] But it's confusing me and I couldn't get the first step done :s [03:47] #python [03:47] nemo: it "freezed" (but didn't lock up) for a while, maybe the bootsplash was off. [03:47] tauren: short explanation, I have a raid1 setup. I unplugged a hard disk to test redundancy, plugged it back in after booting and testing (shut down when plugged in) and it said degraded array, fine. Re-synced, worked. Rebooted. degraded again. I checked sfdisk, and its not partitioned!. What the heck. [03:47] nemo: wait a minute i said that wrong === peter is now known as Guest79114 [03:47] lol i can too disappear [03:47] Does anybody know much about Google Chrome OS? [03:47] tauren: So I'm assuming I have to re-partition it... how would I go about doing this for a raid1 array? [03:47] Isn't it Linux based? [03:47] settting up ubuntu 9.10 for blind friend. I got orca to start on startup, but all it reads is jubberish to her... Can't we have it set so it reads HTTP pages to her or something. Please excuse my frustration. [03:47] Chico: no but i know about you and i like you............alot [03:48] lol [03:48] :) [03:48] Chico: a wimpy linux live CD autodetect of HW + the chromium browser? :) [03:48] Alot is not a word. [03:48] It's a lot, silly. [03:48] Chico: including all of the chromium browser's bugs? :D [03:48] nemo: it "froze" for a second doing something in the terminal and i think the bootsplash was disabled at the time, giving it the effect that the computer locked up. maybe it's because i added the boot parameters properly this time. [03:48] Sunrex: ahh, sorry i can't help you there... i'm just trying to figure out how to install raid1 [03:48] My internet is way slower in Ubuntu than in Windows, (I'm dual-booting) any suggestions? [03:48] Sunrex: onto 2 new drives in a new system [03:48] Chico: supposedly you can get to a shell on it and muck about, despite their not making it easy... [03:48] I just know that my friend despises Chrome OS. [03:48] nemo: i don't know but i want to try 9.10 with the same trick again [03:48] aaand. that's all I know. it seems like a silly idea [03:48] it would be cool to have orca read whatever is under the cursor or something [03:48] mattcen: Thanks! So, say I wanted a DNS/SMB/rTorrent/HTTP/Asterisk server that I could also admin with a monitor, I could use Ubuntu desktop for that? [03:49] nemo: ...if it doesn't work, then i'll to the install 9.04 > upgrade to 9.10 trick. [03:49] anybody using 9.10 (karmic) as a guestOS in VirtualBox?? [03:49] tauren: Software?. Centos?. Centos is easy, you can do it in the GUI :) heres a link: http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/linux/linux_software_raid.htm [03:49] Well, first of all, I'd be pirating this software :P [03:49] I'm not that good of a person. [03:49] Chico: thats never a good idea [03:49] Sunrex: yeah, I've done it many times in centos before [03:49] Chico: why pirating? I thought it was free [03:49] !hi [03:49] 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! [03:49] arrr matey! [03:49] lol. [03:49] Sony Vegas is expensive. [03:49] i wouldn't say it's worth it [03:49] Well, the version I'm getting. [03:49] * racecar56 likes ubuntu just time [03:49] Sunrex: but trying to get raid1/lvm setup on a new system. [03:49] tauren: Yeah, thats what im using. I don't know why this isn't re-syncing properly [03:49] *fine [03:49] There are lots of free alternatives to Sony vegas [03:49] racecar56: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:49] My internet is way slower in Ubuntu than in Windows, (I'm dual-booting) any suggestions? [03:50] * racecar56 likes ubuntu just fine [03:50] Chico: wanna go get a coffee? [03:50] Nothing is going to be as good as Vegas. [03:50] Yesh, Starbucks. [03:50] tauren: its pissing me off since im going to be colocating with 4x500GB RAID10, and yeah. [03:50] Sunrex: if you're on centos, why don't you ask in another channel? [03:50] kaski: is anything sucking your RAM? [03:50] I love white mocha lattes <3 [03:50] Chico: If you we're pirating anyway, get Adobe Premiere :) [03:50] tauren: No support. [03:50] kaski: what free alternatives woudl you recommend? [03:50] piracy, eh? [03:50] tauren: I like ubuntu, but I can only use two distros for WHM/Cpanel. [03:50] Sunrex: so you join #ubuntu to complain about lack of responses here [03:50] racecar56: I doubt it, I have 4 gbs [03:50] I prefer Vegas, but I might get Premiere. [03:50] Is it supported? [03:51] nemo: I can't see the logs [03:51] jongbergs: you can check everywhere for free video editors, theres a gazillion [03:51] kaski: lucky you. i have 2gb and it's speeding fast already, in fact on my old comp with 512MB it speeds [03:51] ShawnRisk: did you check to see if you are using mac filtering? [03:51] nemo: mdadm is the issue here :). it's used on both distros for software raid. [03:51] Gnewt: Yes, potentially. Depending on the power of the system you're using, you may want to use a lighter environment (like XFCE or Fluxbox instead of Gnome; I use fluxbox on my server), but it'll work [03:51] Sunrex: there's a #linux-raid channel, but only 8 people in it. [03:51] kaski: ...but it doesn't use ubuntu, it uses debian, but i'm trying to put ubuntu on it at the moment [03:51] racecar56: i think it has something to do with it getting a conflicting IP or something [03:51] BTW, I think #ubuntu should be fragmented into multiple support channels - desktop, graphics, audio, general linux noob etc. [03:51] tauren: Oh!. Thank you very much :) [03:51] kaski: does gazillion works like sony vegas? [03:51] What's gazillion? [03:51] kaski: that *might* be possible, but unlikely. [03:51] jongbergs: if you know how to use it [03:52] I really hope it's going to be as good. [03:52] racecar56: also, i didnt have to set anything up for internet in ubuntu, it just fixed itself [03:52] Well... It won't. [03:52] Already know :| shit. [03:52] Johnson you still here? [03:52] Sunrex: you can check on my blog [03:52] kaski: ok, thanks for the tip, i'll go search for it..hope it's available in the karmic repos [03:52] kaski: that's fine. [03:52] Sunrex: I have some old posts about rebuilding an array [03:52] nemo: I am using MAC Filtering [03:52] kaski: my internet was auto-configured by ubuntu and it's fine [03:53] ShawnRisk: lol. so Plugh was right [03:53] Sunrex: blog.tauren.com [03:53] racecar56: I would mess around with the settings but im not sure where to begin [03:53] The fact that a LOT of the softwares I like aren't compatible with Linux makes me not want to use Linux. [03:53] :( [03:53] ShawnRisk: ifconfig | grep HWaddr - verify that number is in list of allowed macs. if it isn't, add it and stop blaming linux [03:53] Chico: you have to find alternatives [03:54] racecar56: could giving ubuntu its own static ip help? [03:54] need help with getting wireless network to work on 9.10 please help???? [03:54] ShawnRisk: BTW, MAC filtering is the most pointless security imaginable [03:54] Sunrex: See http://blog.tauren.com/2008/03/hard-drive-crash.html [03:54] ShawnRisk: utterly trivial to work around [03:54] Sorry if this is a stupid question, but a program I downloaded (ps3mediaserver) came with some files but no installation instructions either in the file or on their site. It did come with an .sh file that appears to do some setup. Can someone tell me how I can run an .sh file? (It is a script, correct?) [03:54] kaski: maybe. [03:54] ShawnRisk: takes even less work than cracking 40 bit WEP [03:54] nemo: yeah, ppl running macs dont do much hacking anyway, it's mainly the unix/linux guys that do [03:54] kaski: i think windows and ubuntu ARE using different IPs though. are they? [03:54] Why can't Ubuntu just run files that Windows can run without Wine? [03:54] khevlan: have yo tried double-clicking on it [03:54] Chico: EXEs are from DOS, ubuntu is not DOS. [03:54] racecar56: probably [03:55] banisterfiend: my point is, if you are going to "secure" a network, this is a pointless timeconsuming operation that confuses your friends and does nothing to keep out enemies [03:55] Why can't they just make it DOS? [03:55] khelvan: you would want to chmod +x the .sh then ./filename.sh [03:55] banisterfiend: clearly it is confusing ShawnRisk (assuming that is the problem) [03:55] kaski - I am using ssh to log into my server, I can't double-click it as I have no GUI [03:55] someone please help me with 9.10 [03:55] Chico: DOS is made by Microsoft and is copyrighted. [03:55] khelvan: may need to give it sudo when you run also not sure [03:55] Chico: Ubuntu is free software. [03:55] nemo: so mac filtering just blocks ppl running macosx from accessing your computer right? [03:55] johnson_b, thanks, I will try that [03:55] khelvan: navigate to the directory the file is in and type sudo sh ./filename.sh [03:55] banisterfiend: you're joking right? [03:55] Chico: Ubuntu is open-sourced, allowing anyone to be able to make Ubuntu better. [03:55] nemo: I hope they're joking. :P [03:56] Chico: if DOS was open-sourced, they'd be able to make Ubuntu run DOS programs, i guess. [03:56] nemo: no, y? and anyway, like i said ppl running macosx dont do much hacking anyway [03:56] Chico: ...but it isn't open source. [03:56] banisterfiend: lol. my boss runs OSX exclusively [03:56] Hey does anybody know what would cause a remount into ro mode? [03:56] racecar56: the sad part is the canonical store selling software [03:56] banisterfiend: well and linux on his servers [03:56] Chico: and nor is Windows. [03:56] banisterfiend: and I assure you, he knows his way around the OSX commandline [03:56] kaski: yep. [03:56] kaski: you're right [03:56] banisterfiend: spoofing a mac is just as trivial under OSX as it is under linux [03:56] aintaer: possible disk corruption can cause it to mount read only [03:56] does anyone know how to get wireless connection working in 9.10 [03:57] Chico: Linux is not Windows, and the problem is that people expect it to be. Just like you can't run a lot of Windows programs on MacOS (though more developers are supporting it now), Linux is a completely different operating system. [03:57] Like, mid-run though [03:57] nemo: but osx IS a mac so they dont need to spoof anything [03:57] bradley: have you tried ubuntu support and google? [03:57] aintaer: If the disk starts getting corrupted or gets an error, it'll mount itself as read only to prevent further corruption [03:57] Liverbones: I started up in rw but mid-run it went to ro [03:57] Also there's always the FreeDOS project [03:57] I see [03:57] Does anybody in here know about Puppy Linux? [03:57] banisterfiend: aaaaaah. ok. so this was all a convoluted joke. I hate you. [03:57] bradley: wireless fixes are plentiful [03:57] Chico: mee. [03:57] I'm considering getting it. [03:57] Chico: I know a little [03:57] Puppy Linux? [03:57] But I'm too lazy to pay for those god damn cds. [03:57] nemo: D: i tried the same boot parameters in the same order (i think) and it didn't work :( same problem, i'll try upgrade [03:58] The DVDrs. [03:58] download 'em. :P [03:58] aintaer: Mid-run doing what? much reading and writing? did you run an fsck? [03:58] racecar56: um. wait. so this is *random* ? [03:58] nemo: what do you mean [03:58] racecar56: if you already have the ubuntu iso can you tell wubi you have it so it doesnt have to torrent it? [03:58] Why is Wine so unstable? [03:58] racecar56: you say it fails to boot only part of the time? :) [03:58] nemo: no. [03:58] racecar56: oh. thought you said you'd made it to the desktop once [03:59] Chico: because they are reverse engineering a massive quantity of code [03:59] Chico: with many undocumented behaviours [03:59] Oh. [03:59] :s [03:59] Liverbones: I ran an fsck afterward and had fixed some things [03:59] Linux noob. [03:59] Chico: and one that it took microsoft decades to screw up [03:59] If I wanted to create a redirect from http://servername/wiki to http://servername:8080, how would I go about doing this?> [03:59] nemo: it seems 9.04 works (i have tried 6.06 and it works too) [03:59] Chico: similar to why MAPI support sucks in evolution - reverse engineering is a PITA [03:59] I hate Microsoft. [03:59] nemo: i didn't just try 6.06, though [03:59] racecar56: aight. [03:59] racecar56: have fun. :) === bunshiong is now known as brian99999 [03:59] Chico: i hate them too. [03:59] I love Mac, though. [04:00] But until I'm rich, I'm not getting one :D [04:00] Macs are nice... used to have a Mini [04:00] nemo: there's ONE problem [04:00] nemo: my internet is slow. [04:00] heh. Macs are *nix, so I forgive them a lot, but Steve Jobs is an evil control freak [04:00] nemo: 200kbps. [04:00] nemo: sickening to do an upgrade. [04:00] nemo: Yes, he is :P [04:00] I have an iPhone, I'm basically wiping his ass. [04:00] Chico: lol. My SO completely stopped using her linux partition after I got her an iphone [04:01] you can't get more control-freak than iphone [04:01] Lol [04:01] It's amazing... [04:01] aintaer: Unfortunately, all I know about the r/o issue is what I've dealt with myself; I ran a couple of fscks (once right after the problem, then later from a live CD) and it fixed itself [04:01] Chico: since if she wanted music on its new encrypted filesystem, she was going to use itunes. [04:01] dddd === w3asal_ is now known as w3asal [04:01] mmmm, thanks though [04:01] If I wanted to create a redirect from http://servername/wiki to http://servername:8080, how would I go about doing this?> [04:01] I HATE iTunes so much. [04:01] Sorry :\ [04:01] er. not encrypted filesystem, encrypted tunes database [04:01] Chico: same [04:01] Chico: i do not use it. [04:01] iTunes is the most stupid and stubborn software ever. [04:02] aaaanyway. enough fun hanging out with you party animals. [04:02] Chico: i never want to again, ever. [04:02] * nemo retreats back to more quiet channels [04:02] Chico: VLC FTW [04:02] iPhone is especially good if you jailbreak it. [04:02] I have a droid eris [04:02] * racecar56 wishes ubuntu would stop being bad :( [04:02] it's pretty <3 [04:02] I have a dual boot HD with a damaged GRUB. Now I can't boot anything. I followed 5 or 6 help pages on the web, but nothing works. I can't get the grub loaded again. Can anyone help? === w3asal_ is now known as w3asal [04:03] I don't get the whole GRUB thing... [04:03] Chico: it's a bootloader. [04:03] That's why I couldn't install Puppy Linux. [04:03] what the f... [04:03] You can say fuck. [04:03] !ohmy [04:03] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [04:03] yeah? [04:03] It's not Club Penguin... [04:03] nemo and Plugh thanks [04:03] f word is allowed? [04:04] Chico: yeah, it isn't, but if ubottu doesn't want us to... [04:04] it's supposed to be family friendly (hint: don't let your kids on IRC) [04:04] * Chico shrugs [04:04] Don't have kids :P just a teenager. [04:04] but if it takes a lot to get banned from this channel [04:04] you have to really bring out your troll A-game [04:04] I have LOTS of important files that I need to retrieve. I sure would like to get some Grub help if anyone has a little time. [04:05] * racecar56 wishes ubuntu 9.10 would work. [04:05] I'm so sick of people telling me that GIMP is as good as Photoshop. [04:05] ossa: get a boot cd/floppy [04:05] racecar56: what's not working? [04:05] racecar56: I feel you. [04:05] ubuntu 9.1 donest work? [04:05] it works for me [04:05] I really, really do. [04:05] got one [04:05] If I wanted to create a redirect from http://servername/wiki to http://servername:8080, how would I go about doing this? [04:05] Liverbones: got one of them unfortunate computers that can't boot recent ubuntu versions for ANYTHING? [04:05] something like that [04:05] I booted from there and am working on the CD now. [04:05] I have terrible net connectivity with 9.10, any idea why? [04:05] Liverbones: and i have to use debian until they fix it >:( [04:05] I ended up using 9.04 Minimal :P [04:05] Chico: some people drink the kool-aid, whatever. what's cool is what people have accomplished the 'near-beer' of open source apps [04:06] Bleh. [04:06] Chico: You can run photoshop CS2 off Wine [04:06] idc i just use 9.1 its stable for me [04:06] It's just that graphic designers use Photoshop, not GIMP. [04:06] ossa: mount your /home drive. if you didn't seperately partition it (you'd know if you did) then just mount your / partition. [04:06] ew i dont like gimp [04:06] ossa: just go on Places and explore the different availible volumes. [04:06] it sucks [04:07] i like gimp. i don't see what's wrong with it. [04:07] idk i dont like the gui. i think PS better [04:07] I have and I can get to the files. I just need to be able to boot from the HD instead of the CD [04:07] racecar56: many things [04:07] sumodumo: i don't really like the GUI very much either, to be honest [04:07] sumodumo: on KDE4, it's a nightmare [04:07] * DaZ doesn't like their brushes engine [04:07] khelvan: you get it working [04:08] sumodumo: You don't like the GUI because it's not what you're used to. [04:08] liverbones: yea probably ive been using PS for years now. [04:08] Anyway, does anyone know much about Upstart jobs? [04:08] ...i don't like the GUI very much and i've almost never used PS. [04:08] HI [04:08] evening what is the name of the dbug file for libdbus-1.so.3 === diego is now known as Guest41532 [04:08] johnson_b - I ran the script, it appears to be working, but there is nothing to tell me how to connect to the configuration, or even if a web admin is available. I don't know if it plays well with headless servers. [04:08] i probably used PS only 1 or 2 times. [04:09] ...ever [04:09] HOLAAAAAAA [04:09] racecar56: well, that and GIMP doesn't have the best GUI, granted :P [04:09] I don't use it much [04:09] Liverbones: i don't use it VERY much. [04:09] * racecar56 wishes ubuntu 9.10 would work [04:09] hello [04:09] do you have that on a macro? :P [04:09] hi [04:10] Howdy. [04:10] gimp is so good it made me more interested in vector graphics [04:10] Liverbones: me? no. [04:10] Liverbones: i not trying to start anything but when u first lookied at photshop did u know how to use it right off. more and likey you had to learn it same goes with gimp [04:10] i buy a philips mp3 player an after i open i see its for windows--is they a way i can make it work on ubuntu? ive tried installing the software with "wine" but dint work [04:10] can anyone recomend a good SIMPLE HTML web publishing editor for Ubuntu? [04:10] DaZ: same. [04:10] johnson_b: My point exactly :) [04:10] TCCB: ...kompozer? [04:10] khelvan: nmap localhost may have to isntall nmap [04:10] ok I'll check it out. [04:10] TCCB: k [04:11] how is everyone liking 9.10? [04:11] i'm all for open source, but photoshop IS better [04:11] TCCB: not a big fan, here. [04:11] TCCB: not :( [04:11] Not much of reason to switch unless you are doing a new install IMHO [04:11] TCCB: i like it except one of my comps can't run it well [04:11] i have never really used PS [04:11] disk issues? [04:11] Ben64: read my comment about it [04:11] * racecar56 does not care about PS [04:11] I'm not liking Upstart, Grub 2 or the new GDM at all. So I removed GDM :P [04:11] TCCB: no, i'm using the LiveCD, it can't be that [04:11] if im supposed to extract a file into /opt as instructed to by a "how to install xampp on ubuntu 9.04", but i cant find /opt, where is the next best place to extract to. conventionally speaking i guess [04:11] ah I see. [04:12] Liverbones: that's so hardcore [04:12] mamia: You should have /opt [04:12] can i touch you? [04:12] TCCB: it goes in an infinite blackscreen > loading screen loop [04:12] What's hardcore? [04:12] this game sucks goodnight [04:12] on my laptop--- 5.1 audio in mplayer cuts out, mplayer uses only one core to decode, making 720p impossible, other sound issues, multiple displays crashes computer [04:12] Liverbones: gdm removal [; [04:12] has anyone been having issues with ubuntu 9.10 and getting rhythmbox to fetch cover art off the internet? [04:12] TCCB: i do like 9.10 got all working on laptop but finger print scanner doesn't seem to load faster than 9.04 was told time over time it would :( [04:12] sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm [04:12] ... done [04:12] johnson_b: yeah i did read it, but photoshop still wins [04:12] apt-get: command not found [04:12] awww >: [04:13] Yeah gdm can be dangerious and removing it is probably more so [04:13] Liverbones, nope dont have it [04:13] rofl! [04:13] xD [04:13] dangerous even [04:13] DaZ: you simulating a RPM linux distro? lol! [04:13] Ben64: just saying gimp works just have to learn like u did photoshop [04:13] Where are you looking for it? Ubuntu automatically makes /opt [04:13] DaZ: yum purge gdm? [04:13] Can't connect to certain servers on 9.10, any idea why? [04:13] DaZ: i have NO idea.. [04:13] TCCB: Removing GDM isn't dangerous [04:13] johnson_b: I know. Really, I do. But still..... Photoshop wins. [04:13] yum: command not found [04:13] :F [04:13] drastic: probably internet?

[04:14] Liverbones, i just assumed from the "how to" that /opt was standard with ubuntu 9.04... so do i have to make the dir? [04:14] Ben64: i do like photoshop don't get me wrong but gimp is amazing to be free compared to 1000 for photoshop [04:14] mamia: It is standard. [04:15] Liverbones, im looking in / cant find it [04:15] mamia: But if it's not in your filesystem, you could make it. [04:15] DaZ: easy everything removal: use of the command. we all know what command it is. [04:15] johnson_b: well with the price, yeah gimp is awesome. But if Photoshop is free, then .. :D [04:15] DaZ: LOL! [04:15] * racecar56 wouldn't use PS even if it were freeware.

I'm trying to report a bug in launchpad and it keeps telling me there's a timeout error. Any ideas on how I can successfully report my bug?

I'm multitasking, and poorly :| [04:17] tccb, what does the -M755 flag do? does it just change permisions? [04:17] maybe i should post this stupid infinite loop thing as a bug.

[04:17] mamia: Yes, it does [04:17] johnson_b, http://pastebin.com/m48f3d179 - I don't see anything that looks like it [04:17] I only say that because you can't change the mode on a dir that isn't there... :) [04:17] <==== wise acher... 2 points :) [04:17] * racecar56 [04:18] er...

[04:26] iamspartaaaaaa, samba allows me to share directories, files, and other things to my network devices, including Windows machines [04:26] iamspartaaaaa: a protocol to allow window computers to connect to hard drives on linux machines [04:26] TCCB: i've used Scream before thats cool...not dreamweaver equiv though...not even close [04:27] window computers xD [04:27] I miss Dreamweaver [04:27] TCCB - I have heard good things about Quanta and Aptana, but I haven't tried either of them. [04:27] khelvan: so cant u just use an external HD? [04:27] TCCB: i have found nothing exact same as dreamweaver but bluefish was ok i gotten to where i just use text editor now [04:27] Quanta is QT right? [04:27] oddie_ I'll try that. is that in the normal universe and multi-verse ubuntu packagesphere? [04:27] iamspartaaaaaa: its for sharing directories over a network [04:27] window computers are Windows computers after you've had so much trouble with them. xD [04:27] Dreamweaver is what I miss most about windows apps [04:27] iamspartaaaaaa, What do you mean? I suppose I could transfer files to an external hard drive, then plug the HDD into another machine, but this way I have all the files I want to share on my server, and I can access them from anywhere on the network. [04:27] TCCB: i think it was when i used it, Bluefish was good too, that should be there [04:28] Dreamweaver has gotten very sophisticated... with jquery like goodness and all that [04:28] khelvan: oh i see. i double boot xp on my machine so HD works just fine. in your case with separate computers thats different..... [04:29] TCCB: i dont think you will get a free Dreamweaver like program :( [04:29] I think my sound has gone completely foobar after the Karmic upgrade. My front left speaker is identifying correctly, but the only other speaker I can get sound from is the rear right and it identifies as front right when I use speaker-test.

Dreamweaver for linux... put that on the todo list.. :) [04:29] isn't it possible to use wine with it? i haven't ever used dreamweaver (i haven't ever used it before, not even in windows) so i don't know [04:29] is there anyway to reset pulseaudio to try to fix the audio? [04:30] there was some Dreamweaver like app [04:30] but the maintainers left [04:30] Quanta, I heard [04:30] iamspartaaaaaa, Yes, if you have only one machine having a file server will only help you if you, for instance, want to put your files on a RAID array so that if one HDD fails the other(s) still runs. [04:30] ...what is dreamweaver anyway [04:30] quanta wasn't wyswig ;f [04:30] IDE for web development [04:30] a website designer === iamspartaaaaaa is now known as racer55 [04:30] With WYSWIG and all that jazz [04:30] yeah wysiwyg html editor and yeah === racer55 is now known as racecar55 [04:30] sexy, is what it is [04:30] yes, it was very nice [04:30] it even produced proper css for stuff [04:31] unlike microsoft's editor [04:31] Pffft [04:31] johnson_b, Thanks, but that is for fuppes, a different media server. The one I installed was called "PS3 Media Server," or PMS for short :P - it is its name, not a descriptor :) [04:31] Macromedia made good tools [04:31] * racecar56 likes to use this thing called a text editor to make HTML documents [04:31] Well MS wanted to put all of it's own proprietary crap in it. [04:31] including it's own css markup [04:31] * racecar56 also likes to use lynx to view the resulting HTML files. [04:31] which never worked [04:31] racecar56: it's not targeted to you [04:31] Yay!

[04:45] *nokia pc suite [04:45] I am sure the filesystem on the disk is ext4, but keeps telling me that i have wrong fs [04:45] racecar56: nope, i am not 100% sure. The weird thing is that it is showing interface on ifconfig and iwconfig, but when i go to network manager wifi tab its empty. [04:45] exploreralex: create that directory, and give yourself write permissions in it [04:45] exploreralex: run as root? [04:46] ten80p: how is sdb1 formatted, what fs type, you may need to specify it [04:46] chetnick: maybe you should check if it's all the way in the slot. [04:46] ten80p: sudo fdisk -l ..that should list all drives connected regardless of mount. it will tell you the fs type. [04:46] created directory using :sudo mkdir /opt/openthinclient [04:46] chetnick: if you can see the gold contacts a little bit, shut downt the comp and push it in gently but firmly (enough to make it go in better) [04:46] the error continues [04:46] how can i remove trash can and home dir from desktop? [04:46] exploreralex: give yourself write permissions in it [04:47] how do i do that? [04:47] it says system: Linux .. [04:47] exploreralex: using chmod [04:47] it asked for the password while creating the directory. thats it.

Do I have to reboot to show it up? [05:13] mahngiel: sudo fdisk -l [05:13] and my Windows 7 box is working normally [05:14] mahngiel: that didn't work? [05:14] racecar56: i thought i found it as sda5, but it wouldn't mount [05:14] Guest4001: probably could use update-rc.d to make gdm not autostart [05:14] Gambit-: No, but logging out and in again might be needed [05:14] can we install google Chrome on Ubuntu and how? [05:14] Billiard, not behind a proxy.... my Windows 7 Box is working ok... my Vista computer goes 404... and ubuntu redirects to lunarpages.com [05:14] hehe [05:14] racecar56: I get "no valid cabinets found" when using cabextract to extract the .exe [05:14] racecar56: i gotta reboot and try it as sudo [05:14] Dasda: maybe it won't work because it isn't extractable [05:14] cool [05:14] thanks [05:15] Dasda: you cant always extract an exe easily [05:15] mahngiel: when you plug it in, look in dmesg.. normally dmesg | tail ..works well [05:15] Billiard, any ideas?

[05:16] racecar56: no error in terminal when i copy pasted the commands you wrote. but the same error is occuring in install [05:16] exploreralex: you are runnning the installer as root, right? [05:16] Billiard: how? Its a ebook. I can run it under wine but it wont load images in Ubuntu. It works fine on windows though. So I though extracting it might let me view images [05:16] it was a .jar file [05:16] Billiard, how would I check? I don't believe it does [05:16] Draconis: /etc/hosts [05:16] so i opened it with jdk [05:16] exploreralex: sudo.. [05:17] ok im in the software sources now what [05:17] Dasda: its an exe ebook? thats dumb. i would think if they gave you an exe ebook, they dont want you to have easy access to the pictures and text [05:17] I have an MSI Wind 123 netbook: it has Realtek 8187se wifi controller. Does anyone know the name/location of the driver for this wifi device in 9.10? Thanks! [05:17] its a gui based installer. so what's it with the root if i am not installing it in the terminal. [05:18] Recliner: check the 5 boxes on the left [05:18] Billiard: yeah, I think It is designed to do that [05:18] exploreralex: use kdesu or gksu [05:18] on the first tab? [05:18] Recliner: yea [05:18] ok [05:19] racecar56: no idea what those are!! I am literally an amatuer at this [05:19] Billiard: anyway in ubuntu I can extract that .exe ? i've tried unzip and gotten this http://paste.ubuntu.com/332120/ . Or cabextract which says "no valid cabinets found" [05:19] cool it worked the stop gdm startup [05:19] Billiard, http://pastebin.com/dcad499e [05:19] lol [05:19] exploreralex: what is the command you are using to run the jar [05:19] all i had to do was "sh /var/lib/update-rc.d/gdm" as sudo [05:19] ubuntu google search works... google.com still redirects to lunarpages.com [05:19] got rid of the autostartup on gdm [05:19] w.t.f. [05:19] im downloading pakages. i dont know for what tho [05:20] google is screwy. [05:20] xD [05:20] Dasda: if they gave you an exe ebook its probably encrypted and not easily extractable [05:20] is someone running a mitm attack on u by any chance? [05:20] i just had to check the last box and i made the source from the main server [05:20] racecar56, my win7 box is working fine... my ubuntu redirects to lunarpages and the vista box gives 404 [05:20] What is Code Weavers?

[05:21] it's a nightmare to sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa? (don't know if that is the right package name) [05:22] hi guys, im having hard time in ubuntu server edition [05:22] customer:whats ur problemo [05:22] Billiard, That's not what this doc says http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/08/31/upgrade-alsa-1-0-21-on-ubuntu-jaunty-9-04/ [05:22] Dasda: idk, maybe theres a way, but i wouldnt try [05:22] racecar56: this one was for me? [05:22] it seems that i can't start apache tomcat [05:22] exploreralex: open a terminal. [05:22] customer: do you have the package installed [05:23] i already installed apache tomcat6 [05:23] exploreralex: assuming you have the jar on your desktop, do this command: "cd ~/Desktop" [05:23] how can I see which kernel I am currently using? [05:23] Billiard, any ideas what could cause that? Maybe having 3 boxes on one router? [05:23] skyl: uname -a [05:23] skyl: in terminal [05:23] weird, I didn't get grub to come up [05:23] Draconis: does it do this on a fresh install? or on the live cd?

[05:38] Billiard, I do a search now and its coming up with this http://pastebin.com/d42a1f2e3 [05:38] lordmortis: just run the kernel however you run it but remove "quiet splash" from wherever you see it [05:38] racecar56:Could not find the main class: openthinclient.jar.

[05:41] chetnick, no proxy... DHCP connection to verizon dsl [05:41] Draconis183: oh before i thought you said windows 7 was fine, yeah you must be behind some kind of proxy [05:41] chetnick, or do you think ubuntu loaded one up? [05:41] Draconis183: check proxy settings in your browser. [05:41] Draconis183: is it firefox?

[05:46] chetnick, its on use system proxy [05:46] Guys, I have a toshiba laptop, and the screen turns red sometimes, then if i knock it, it'll go back to normal colors, and then back to red sometimes, and it keeps changing, anyone know what the issue could be? some people say it might be the connection to the motherboard, but i can't seem to find it [05:46] Draconis183: what is on "use" system proxy? [05:47] chetnick, there's no entry from what I see [05:47] do you know how or are you simply telling me to check the man pages [05:47] exploreralex: it means i don't know [05:47] ooooohhhhhhhhhh [05:47] Billiard, yes, but that's one more step [05:47] exploreralex: and i don't know what ltsp is [05:47] no, i never used that program, but i figured if it supports from mkv to avi, that it would be there. [05:48] new to channel you see [05:48] chetnick, the setting.. I switched to no proxy and that didn't solve... cleared cache and now its all groovy [05:48] I'm just wondering why it can't use avi as a prefered container [05:48] makes no sense [05:48] Draconis183: groove == work? [05:48] in 9.10, I can open my ntfs partitions from the GUI and it asks for a password.. is the best way to set them up to automount on startup still with fstab? [05:49] scott_ino2: are you using codecs that cant be used in an avi? [05:49] chetnick, yeah [05:49] chetnick, any ideas what the heck happened or why canonical would be on the bottom of an error on a windows vista box? hehehe [05:49] Draconis183: glad to hear that... their proxy is down.

[05:58] Zer, not sure about ubuntu server [05:58] Anorien, Preferences/startup applications [06:00] whoever told me, startup applications is not what im looking for [06:01] Anorien: Ubuntu 9.10 switched to using upstart and afaik the old "services" application isn't compatible... there's a bug in launchpad about this. [06:01] is there a way to get the linux kernel to not query the partition on a drive? [06:01] alkisg: oh, so how can i disable different services then?

Call me dumb, but I didn't backup before trying cat >> /etc/apt/archives < so.... any way to have to wireless adapters installed both using different drivers? IE have the usb adapter use a diffenernt driver when I plug it in and leave the driver for the built in adapter alone? [06:08] burn almost done, then i go afk again and install :D [06:08] I love ubuntu and don't want to switch to back-track or dual boot just for a one time test on my wireless network :-( [06:08] alkisg: any services i dont need/use, im on old machines and booting takes too much and i did this with fedora 12 yesterday from a tutorial and it help decrease booting time. i wanted to do same with ubuntu [06:08] ngirard: check your /etc/apt/sources.list file. By the looks of that command I don't think your sources were touched [06:08] is gnome-look.org down? [06:08] tophu, try doing it in a livecd session? [06:09] for ubuntu c development, headers are located at /usr/include, but where is the actual code for these headers. for instance, i can see unistd.h, but where's unistd.c, where the function prototypes of the .h are defined? [06:09] @phantom I would suggest see if live works [06:09] saroth: yes [06:09] and then install from there if it does [06:09] nice...

[06:11] tophu, i don't know it will work but it can't hurt to try [06:11] ;) [06:11] yup [06:12] Fezzler: you sudo apt-get installed lmms?

[06:46] gOLDfeesh: Best one is gecko-mediaplayer [06:46] andrew_46, does it support divx?

I'm wondering if it's a glitch somewhere or someone's idea of a joke...kind of funny if you think about it though [06:50] heh. [06:50] reverebeer, i think gcc will do [06:50] * PhantomLink will wait 20 minutes this time === zz_kiwifunk is now known as kiwifunk [06:50] gOLDfeesh: mozilla-mplayer is the old version, gecko-mediaplayer is new work by the same developer [06:50] it has a window "Installyng system" up on the screen [06:50] oh okay [06:50] TeamJacob, yea, im looking at a source for it now....let me check deeper [06:50] reverebeer, maybe they come pre-installed, I don't really know [06:51] i would like to know why my ubuntu just froze for the second time in as many days [06:51] zroysch: because it's ubuntu [06:52] hello! [06:52] no mouse/keyboard input would work, except alt-sysreq-K [06:52] TeamJacob, im pretty sure theyre precompiled with the build-essentials package, which includes a binary for gcc, the way most ppl get gcc. so hopefully gcc's source will be of use [06:52] DaZ: yea real good answer you degenerate [06:52] <3 [06:52] shame i got hacked [06:52] reverebeer, no need for getting sources [06:52] k installing is not going anywhere [06:52] well I think [06:52] I don't know... I'm out anyway [06:53] zroysch: no logs, no help :F [06:53] DaZ: what log. === b0w[out] is now known as b0w__ === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk === b0w__ is now known as b0w [06:53] everything.log [06:53] any 1 know any thing about nessus? [06:53] PhantomLink: have you tried the alternate install cd? I used to have a text-mode installer and might work better if it still does [06:53] * PhantomLink searches out his old 8.10 CD [06:53] DaZ: there is no everything.log [06:54] [daz@revnet log]$ ls |grep everything [06:54] everything.log [06:54] :f [06:54] I have b43xx seris network card and ubuntu 9.10 is recognising it now after installing b43-fwcutter but now my PC try to connect with WIFI or LAN connection and then iwconfig.

I have the line number, so I suppose I'll go poke through the source to see what it references. [06:54] yes, explaining your problem is a terrible waste of time [06:55] arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [06:55] my PC try to connect and then fails and not coonected message comes [06:55] <^Einstein> venger: It is odd that it seems to be a different mechanism for "switch user" than is used for "unlock screen" [06:55] any ideas why the $ symbol in xterm would be replaced by the £ symbol? Just happened after replacing vim-tiny with vim-runtime (via apt-get), but didn't revert when I removed both packages and restored vim-tiny, so I think it might be unrelated [06:55] zroysch, when you computer freezes, are you able to access a tty? [06:55] ^Einstein, who knows could be stale portion of code anyway good luck with it, [06:56] Anyone know why VLC's audio play is very choppy as opposed to other players? I don't have that problem with other players. [06:56] Same audio driver, OSS. [06:56] I have b43xx seris network card and ubuntu 9.10 is recognising it now after installing b43-fwcutter but now my PC try to connect with WIFI or LAN connection and then fails and not coonected message comes and i have tried also iwconfig. Please tell me what to do next. Help! [06:56] APERSON: nope. the only key combination i found to have results is alt-sysreq-K [06:56] gtg ppl [06:57] Fut - I've noticed the same thing, but only with certain filetypes/codecs. I prefer SMplayer, myself. Plays anything VLC will play, and has some nice features, but no streaming/etc. [06:57] Hi. My server (running Hardy) has randomly decided to stop responding (ie. pages don't load and I can't use ssh). It's Swap Usage has also been high over the past 4 hours which is probably related. Restarting it solves nothing. Any ideas? [06:57] zroysch, I recommend using REISUB instead of just K [06:57] APERSON: what is that [06:57] tehdave, yea, i kind of just like the skin's that VLC has to offer. [06:57] Im currently using audacious, seems to play well. [06:57] Just not as pretty, hehe [06:57] zroysch, that will shutdown properly when it's frozen [06:57] zroysch, well, *reboot [06:58] tehdave: SMPlayer should play streams? [06:58] APERSON: alt-sysreq-K just brought me back to the login screen. [06:58] APERSON: are you saying to alt-sysreq-REISUB ? [06:58] zroysch, yes [06:58] I have b43xx seris network card and ubuntu 9.10 is recognising it now after installing b43-fwcutter but now my PC try to connect with WIFI or LAN connection and then fails and not coonected message comes and i have tried also iwconfig. Please tell me what to do next. Help! [06:58] andrew_46, eh, I don't usually watch streaming media, just whatever files I actually have on the system, never bothered to dig deep into it [06:59] APERSON: didnt know that there were that long of shortcuts [06:59] Trying my 8.10 CD [06:59] zroysch, well, it's several shortcuts [06:59] Then if that fails [06:59] Then I'll DL an alt cd [06:59] Yeah I'm unable to watch files on vreel.net [07:00] APERSON: either way, i'd like to find the cause of the freezing if possible. [07:00] I'll let you guys know how it goes. :D [07:00] Fut: Have you tried later the audio-out setting in vlc? [07:00] on another note, any idea why the $ symbol would be replaced by £ in xterm? any time I put $ in, it comes up as £, as well as at the end of the prompt. Wondering if somehow I managed to set a different keyboard layout just for Xterm but I doubt it [07:00] andrew_46, let me check. [07:00] zroysch, so you *are* able to get back tot he login screen? is your disk showing activity when it freezes? are you using any special video driver? [07:01] APERSON: dont notice any disk activity. video driver is whatever ubuntu 9.04 gave this intel card on the thinkpad [07:01] gOLDfeesh: works for me [07:01] andrew_46, "audio-out" what's that under? [07:01] I just see the "output" type option [07:01] As far as "out" goes. [07:01] DaZ, should I just unintall goldeneye [07:02] gOLDfeesh: get a mplayer plugin for browser [07:02] gOLDfeesh: goldeneye? :f [07:02] zroysch, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze [07:02] I have b43xx seris network card and ubuntu 9.10 is recognising it now after installing b43-fwcutter but now my PC try to connect with WIFI or LAN connection and then fails and not coonected message comes and i have tried also iwconfig. Please tell me what to do next. Help! [07:02] Nintendo 64 game? hehe [07:02] daz, I meant.. vlc browser plugin [07:03] gOLDfeesh: does the player even show? :f [07:03] rrrright [07:03] no [07:03] Fut: Tools --> Preferences --> Audio --> Output --> Type [07:03] DaZ, the player doesn't even show up [07:04] zroysch: What login manager? gdm? [07:04] I don't even know how the hell to look this up o.O [07:04] gOLDfeesh: so remove it and get mplayer plugin [07:04] TeLLuS: yes [07:04] andrew_46, ah yea. I already tested all of those options in there, ASLA, OSS, etc.. [07:04] Same issue. [07:05] bleh, ah well, I'm guessing it's just a joke and I'll figure it out later...must sleep [07:06] what the flip [07:06] seriously [07:06] the vlc browser plugin is ugly. lol but that did the trick DaZ thanks. The VLC plugin wasn't showing the buffering [07:06] 8.10's liveCD gave me a login screen [07:06] what username do i use? [07:06] ubuntu is the user on any of the livecds [07:07] okay thankies [07:07] gOLDfeesh: http://www.andrews-corner.org/samples/vreel.png [07:07] what the flying woah [07:07] gOLDfeesh: This is the gecko-mediaplayer at work :) [07:07] it says incorrect username or password with ubuntu [07:07] PhantomLink: user and pass should both be ubuntu, i think [07:08] still wrong [07:08] zroysch: Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:08] Now i'm weirded out [07:08] It looks like it has been installed, no kidding... [07:08] can anyone tell me if ubuntu is suited for a usb drive installation? i know it's possible but is it efficient (will not burn out the drive and save changes in rom until log out) [07:09] TeLLuS: am i looking for something specific or should i pastebin [07:09] andrew_46, my screen is all black.. do I have to change the video to gl or x11? [07:10] SIGBAAM: burn out the drive? [07:10] zroysch: Begin with that log [07:10] SIGBAAM, I've been running ubuntu on usb for a year now with no problems [07:10] SIGBAAM: save changes into read-only memory? wtf are you talking about? [07:11] TeLLuS: http://pastebin.com/f7b500634 [07:11] PhantomLink: are you using it as a "liveUSB" or a full install? [07:12] Boohbah: sorry, RAM [07:12] I'm using my trusty old 8.10 livecd... [07:12] Lo everyone. [07:13] PhantomLink: can you save changes to it? or is it like a live cd? [07:13] sigbaam it booted into ubuntu like it was already installed on the computer <_< [07:14] !hi | the_madman [07:14] okay phantomlink, thanks :) [07:14] the_madman: 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! [07:14] oh wait [07:15] Whenever I start up my system, I get an error message before I can log in, which reads something like, "/dev/input/event7: file or folder not found". Thing is, it's there now, and if I just click cancel it tries to go to the log-in screen successfully. [07:15] what? [07:15] i thought you were asking me about my cd lol [07:15] SIGBAAM, it works fine [07:15] on usb [07:15] is there a way to check charging voltage/aperage using terminal? [07:15] on a laptop.. [07:16] okay i'm lost here.. can you install apps on the usb and have them there when you reboot? [07:16] g1er, it depends on your hardware [07:16] SIGBAAM, yes, if you enable persistent install [07:17] whats the command to ensure that something like 'ntpd' starts at boot? [07:17] this live cd keeps booting me to a login screen [07:17] And I don't have a flashdrive :S [07:18] PhantomLink: username is ubuntu and password blank [07:18] tried that too [07:18] blank as in type blank? [07:18] Aperson: is this done manually? or is it done by gui or what ever? i'm new to usb os stuff [07:19] SIGBAAM, if you use ubuntu's live usb creator, it's an option that has a checkbox [07:19] APERSON: ah, ok. we just had a power outage and laptop.. ran dead on battery, once power was restored laptop wouldn't boot 'past grub' (ubuntu, windows, a live CD) until I uplugged it and booted on battery. boots fine now tho... [07:19] okay thanks APERSON [07:19] zroysch: Is that with all updates installed? [07:20] so, does anyone know why ubuntu depends on evolution-data-server? it seems to be what's making my gnome-panel freeze [07:20] APERSON: because e-d-s is what makes the clock applet work [07:20] APERSON: and a few other gnome applets [07:21] APERSON: you can remove the server as long as you keep e-d-s-common, it hink [07:21] *think [07:21] maco, I just killed it, and my gnome-panel works better now :) [07:21] and no, the only package of evolution you can keep is evolution-data-server :/ [07:21] err, have to keep [07:22] I removed everything except e-d-s, it wanted to remove tons of needed stuff so I kept that [07:22] I've stripped ubuntu many times to know that I have to keep it :/ [07:22] APERSON: oh ok. [07:23] In any case, it's what was making the calendar freeze my panel [07:24] zroysch: Check version of intel xserver-xorg-video-intel, I know there was some problems before karmic.. I need to go now. [07:25] TeLLuS: ok. not sure how to check a version of that. thanks === user_ is now known as nu-girl [07:26] zroysch: sudo dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel [07:26] hai everyone [07:26] nu-girl: howdy [07:26] can you help me?

[07:27] cat /proc/pci [07:27] nu-girl: "lspci" in a terminal should list it. maybe "lscpi | grep VGA" to narrow it donw [07:28] can i view it from here? [07:28] http://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.html is hilarious [07:29] nu-girl: open terminal (black bacground window) [07:29] nu-girl: applications -> accessories -> terminal [07:29] Jet^Skier: uh default is white background...

[07:31] nu-girl: if you can see the screen, your graphics card is ok [07:31] nu-girl: screenshot? [07:31] Jet^Skier, it's white by default [07:31] nu-girl: do you see any artifacts? [07:32] but i don't see special effect, what must i do? [07:32] nu-girl: system -> preferences -> appearance -> desktop effects [07:32] wow, I haven't used it in that long? [07:32] nu-girl: try enabling them through there [07:32] Jet^Skier: you robably customized it yourself [07:32] Jet^Skier: as long as ive used ubuntu, white has been default [07:32] (thats since dapper) [07:33] No, it's white. I feel like such a douch [07:33] nope,i don't see no desktop effects in my preference, sorry, am i missing something, do i have to install something first? [07:33] nu-girl: appearance is the menu option [07:33] nu-girl: which version are you on? [07:33] nu-girl: desktop effects is a tab in the appearance thing [07:34] which distro is nu-girl running? [07:34] nu-girl: are you using Kubuntu by any chance? [07:34] mmmm [07:34] it's GOS, it's ubuntu right? [07:35] Is there a way to set Gedit to view line#'s? [07:35] I can't seem to find it. [07:35] Kind of pain in the butt to code and click on random items to view the line message down below. [07:35] it shows me that Desktop effects cannot be enable [07:35] nu-girl: ok. is there something like system -> administration -> hardware drivers ?

[07:39] mka: howd you mount it? [07:39] Jet^Skier, it is a DVD [07:39] FOUND IT [07:40] shamelessn00b: I just insert it and then a pop up shows up that I should Burn the blank dvd [07:40] Apparently there's only 191MB ram on this laptop [07:40] but there's two 256 sticks installed [07:40] mka, are you sure it isn't blank? (friend gave it to ya.. gave ya the wrong dvd by chance...) === cdavis_ is now known as cdavis [07:40] gler: yes I am sure another laptop can discover it properly [07:41] so i probably just need to get new ram for it [07:41] mka: look at it,there should be a shadow region on the business side of the dvd. if you can't see it, it is blank [07:42] Jet^Skier: believe me it is NOT blank!! [07:42] Then your dvd drive may be defective [07:42] Try a cd version instead [07:42] or u can put it in another computer to make sure its not blank [07:42] Jet^Skier: that too bad [07:43] if it reads it then ur dvd drive is fucked up [07:43] or usb :) [07:43] !langauge | hellomon [07:43] hellomon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[07:48] too busy slacking mka :) [07:49] shamelessn00b, gler: Ok, I rest my case, I will replace the optical drive [07:50] idk, my dvd drive doesnt even get detected by windows, and on linux it runs fine [07:50] lol [07:50] aperson, I'm a hardware geek === rlarson86 is now known as ptmahent [07:51] Jet^Skier, you asked where to get the usb install version [07:51] unetbootin would provide that [07:51] hi, i installed debian after installing karmic, but i skipped the step of installing grub in debian, how do i generate grub entries for debian now? [07:51] I bet #debian could help you with that [07:51] aperson, yes [07:52] unetbootin, got it [07:52] <^Einstein> I have a slight problem and I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. I can log in fine but after changing the username fields in passwd and shadow (not group) then back again, gnome-screensaver's PASSWD_HELPER_PROGRAM in ext_run in gs-auth-helper.c returns false. How do I figure out what this is defined as? It's a bunch of autoconf magic that defines that, and so it doesn't appear anywhere in the precompiled source. [07:52] APERSON, i dont think so :) as the entries to be generated is in ubuntu [07:52] <^Einstein> Is there someone here that's either really familiar with autotools, or really familiar with gnome-screensaver, that might shed some light on why the credentials are verified differently between apps like this? [07:52] arvind_khadri: you need to edit the menu.lst file located in /boot/grub/ (that's about all the help I can be.. [07:53] arvind_khadri, if you're running debian, their support channel is where you go :) [07:53] <^Einstein> arvind_khadri: boot into a live distro and run grub-install [07:53] APERSON, now am running karmic, grub2 is here on karmic [07:54] g1er, thats with grub-legacy :) thanks anyways [07:54] ^Einstein, :S i dont have one..i use alternate cd's [07:54] arvind_khadri: oh, ya I'm still runnin 9.04 :) sry [07:54] <^Einstein> arvind_khadri: can you not boot into any *nix OS at all on that system? [07:55] what IRC client is easier than xchat in ubuntu 9.10? I want something more familiar like MIRC??? [07:55] Jet^Skier, xchat isn't easy? [07:55] irssi :D [07:55] heh [07:55] aperson, it is [07:55] <^Einstein> Jet^Skier: search synaptic for 'irc', and you won't find a much more mirc-ish client than xchat for linux. [07:55] wine plus mirc [07:55] ^Einstein, ya i can boot into karmic, i am talking from karmic now...i tried grub-mkconfig but that doesnt find debian [07:56] xchat [07:56] <^Einstein> although I bet you could run mIRC in wine, Jet^Skier [07:56] LOL dem0 [07:56] did ubuntu recently updates its kernel? [07:56] * init[1] defocus [07:56] updated* [07:56] I will not run wine [07:56] arvind_khadri, ubuntu's wiki covers this, afaik [07:56] !grub | arvind_khadri [07:56] arvind_khadri: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[07:57] ok thanks anyway guys [07:57] adding entries to gru 2 seems to be relevant [07:57] how do i make my grub start up instead of the windows bootloader? [07:58] Thank you for the help everyone. [07:58] Goodnight.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:00] hellomon:- If you used WUBI for dual boot, I dont think you can use GRUB. If you want to move ubuntu into a separate partition, you can use :-http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [08:00] jessicasco1, whats the question? [08:00] hellomon: you will need to enter the system bios to hange the bootable device. the win bootloader will still exist (i'm assuming you have 2 physical drives) but grub will be doing the booting from now [08:00] hellomon:- after this, you can use GRUM [08:00] sorry GRUB [08:00] how to view the source of the program in linux? [08:00] i was trying to purge my buntu, while in terminal, the computer told me i could install root ...do i need root?

[08:01] Balsaq: root is a user, not something to install... [08:01] ActionParsnip: kk thanks [08:01] Or VIM Jessicascol [08:01] I mean where to get the source code [08:01] jessicasco1: "apt-get source " will download the source of the package you name [08:02] anyway, eating free space bug, anyone? [08:02] what is sudo apt-get install root-system-bin? [08:02] i had that [08:02] that what the computer told me [08:02] jessicasco1: assuming youve enabled source repositories in system -> administration -> software sources [08:02] есть кто нибудь по русски говоряший?

[08:04] hp, LOOL [08:04] ????????? [08:05] Balsaq: in short, forget root. If you need admin powers use gksudo (for gui apps) and sudo (for command line apps) [08:05] better yet, go windows and forget about root :D [08:05] Balsaq: its disabled for security but you can achieve all you need with gk/sudo [08:05] Balsaq: forget root, you don't need it [08:05] security, i own the computer? [08:06] Balsaq: ask your brother to explain sudo to you [08:06] omg, please shot him [08:06] Balsaq: "root" doesn't have any correlation to ownership [08:06] balsaq give me ur htpasswd [08:06] Balsaq: read the factoids, sudo is a far more secure option for systems [08:06] he was in here messin around showing me stuff and noticed i am not root [08:06] Balsaq: you don't need to be root, you can just you sudo and your password to gain root privileges [08:06] have fun [08:06] Balsaq: when anyone tries to attack your computer, they know to try username root and then only try to guess password to break in and have free run of everything [08:06] Balsaq: That's correct. You're not root. But that's not a problem. [08:06] yes i know my password [08:06] Balsaq: theyd need to guess both your username AND your password with the default setup [08:07] Balsaq: this makes it an exponentially more difficult problem [08:07] Balsaq: thats all you need, if you ever need admin access use sudo, problem solved [08:07] well i want to clean out my computer [08:07] make Balsaq-Linux :DDDD [08:07] ciao bambinos! [08:07] Balsaq: if you log in as root EVERY app you run wil be ran AS root too, so malicious java, attatchments in email and malicious flash can and will modify system sensitive files [08:08] Balsaq use DBAN [08:08] get rid of all the cache, history and useless pieces of files left over from uninstalls [08:08] Balsaq: as a user the browser is ran AS user so has limited access [08:08] Balsaq, bleachbit will clean you system out [08:08] Balsaq: sudo apt-get clean [08:08] Balsaq: That's fine. You don't need to be root for that. [08:08] ok sudo apt-get clean...that will do it? [08:09] Balsaq: Everything you've mentioned can be done with sudo. There is no need to log in as root user [08:09] thats it? [08:09] Balsaq: itll empty out /var/cache/apt/archives [08:09] delete system32 [08:09] Balsaq, that will clean out your apt cache [08:09] Balsaq: remove the downloaded package cache (the .deb files) [08:09] Balsaq: that will clean the old debs from your apt cache, you can clean the browser down by using the browser itself [08:09] Balsaq: .deb files are like Setup.exe...it gets rid of those [08:09] i want to clean it all out [08:09] JonathanWinters, that isn't helpful support [08:09] !sudo | Balsaq You really need to read this page: [08:09] Balsaq You really need to read this page:: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[08:10] hi. could someone please help me/teach me how to setup xfce as default session to login and make gnome not start up anymore? [08:11] no i dont want to wipe everything just mt internet history and a couple uninstalls i did [08:11] b0nn, are you sure you aren't going into sleep or hibernate? [08:11] Balsaq, sudo aptitude install bleachbit [08:11] so its beachbit [08:11] Balsaq: Read that sudo page ubottu posted for you, it will answer most if not all of your questions [08:11] Balsaq, bleachbit is a system cleaner [08:11] thawill like a ccleaner [08:11] i want a ccleaner for buntu [08:11] Balsaq, exactly [08:12] Anorien: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [08:12] ok so it is beachbit then [08:12] bleachbit. [08:12] APERSON: I have mplayer running, noise coming out, but black screen [08:12] Ben64: its installed. how do i set it up as default? [08:12] b0nn: corrupt file? or try restarting mpalyer [08:12] so i suppose if i install beachbin the software will be self explanatory [08:12] Anorien: you should be able to select it at the login screen [08:12] anyone here use a dvorak keyboard? [08:12] hellomon: for all files [08:13] Balsaq, try it out and see [08:13] I accidentally Deleted my pannel which displays open windows etc... how do I bring it back [08:13] ok here goes [08:13] brb [08:13] Balsaq: you can read around if you don't understand it [08:13] oh [08:13] also, when mplayer is stopped, the screen stays black [08:13] Balsaq: bleachbit, not beachbin [08:13] Anorien: log out. when you get to the GDM screen, there should be a for "Session", click that and choose your desired session. After entering the username and password, the system will ask if you want to make it the default [08:13] Ben64: i dont have "Options" at login screen [08:13] yes beachbit [08:13] brb [08:13] ardchoille: i dont have it, just a "username" window [08:13] is there a undo shortcut like windows? cuz ctrl+z donest work [08:13] Balsaq: if you clear out the browser cache and old deb files you have done most of the job [08:13] Balsaq: no, bleachbit, there is an 'l' in there [08:13] brb, retrying [08:14] ok is bleachbit [08:14] Anorien: there should be a button or link for "session" along with others like "restart", "shutdown" etc [08:14] Balsaq: you can also run: sudo apt-get install deborphan; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-gt --purge remove `deborphan` [08:14] hellomon, ctrl+z usually works - which app are you using? [08:14] which is the best ccleaner [08:14] ActionParsnip, bleachbit clears much more than just clean the apt-cache and browser caches [08:14] Balsaq: will removed orphaned packages for you and clear out more rubbish [08:14] Balsaq, bleachbit, just go try it [08:14] hello, I'm trying to compile a simple kernel module in karmic. I have linux-headers-2.6.31-15-generic. I'm still missing some asm/* files. Where can I find them? [08:14] APERSON: let me check it [08:15] APERSON: does it require x? [08:15] Madpilot: just the file explorer cuz when i accidently delete something i cant undo it. i have to go to the trash and restore it [08:15] ActionParsnip, likely [08:15] is there a way to restart X remotely? [08:15] brb [08:15] hellomon, ah. Yeah, Nautilus doesn't have an undo. would be nice. [08:15] APERSON: i use the command i gave above a lot to clear out orphaned stuff, its groovy [08:15] Can I just use the ones from /lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/build/include/asm-x86? [08:15] Madpilot: arggggggggggggggggggggg [08:16] ActionParsnip, I ran it on my eepc and it cleaned up 664MB of space! I had my trash empty and my apt-cache cleared before hand too! [08:16] b0nn: yes [08:16] b0nn, as long as x knows what display on, yeah [08:16] I accidentally Deleted my pannel which displays open windows etc... how do I bring it back [08:16] new panel? [08:16] MoralExpl, you can't alt+f2? [08:16] hmm, [08:17] MoralExpl, or did you just delete your window list applet [08:17] APERSON, I believe the latter, the thing on bottom [08:17] hit delete for [08:17] Dunno why [08:17] hello [08:17] but I'm fixing it [08:17] MoralExpl, you're going to have to be a tad clearer as to what specifically you need. maybe a screenshot will be best? [08:17] MoralExpl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:18] APERSON, Yea, ill screen shot [08:18] b0nn: ssh in, and use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart", that will kill _all_ X sessions though [08:18] MoralExpl, I find imgur.com to be a good upload service for one-off stuff [08:18] as a computer idiot, would it be insane for me to try ubuntu on my PC? [08:18] APERSON: nice, lets see how ths flys [08:18] minerva: not that im calling my mom an idiot, but.... [08:18] APERSON: delete old kernels too to get ~120Mb a kernel [08:19] minerva: she says its easier than windows [08:19] wow, really [08:19] hmm [08:19] tsimpson: tnx, now I have my desktop back on my tv :) [08:19] i think i'm going to do a dual install just to try it out [08:19] minerva, my mom loves it as well [08:19] ActionParsnip, I make sure to keep spare kernels to a minimum :) [08:19] i have two hds in my machine [08:19] i can put it on the other one [08:19] minerva, the desktop Ubuntu CD is a LiveCD, just boot from that, try it out, and it doesn't touch your Win install [08:19] well i'm downloading it [08:19] APERSON: is there a way to configure the OS to only keep 2 kernels and remove old kernels as new ones are added? [08:19] when i burn it to cd, can i run it from there? [08:19] Its easy, and the support is excellent [08:20] ubuntu forums ftw [08:20] yeah burn it to cd, boot off the cd and try before you install [08:20] ok [08:20] interesting [08:20] I'm frustated about short time releases of linux (every 6 months), how can I be stable without formatting and with upgrading ? Is it always safe to upgrade to the next release ? Please help !! [08:20] but the installed OS is better obviously [08:20] APERSON, http://imgur.com/DJzGr.png On bottom before, the windows were named, and larger. [08:20] can i use the LIVECD and use gparted to add more partition? [08:20] minerva: yes, you can boot directly into the livecd and play [08:20] minerva: you can even install to usb so you don't have to disturb the internal drive :) [08:20] i have a somehwat old pc [08:20] erm [08:20] yes gparted works from the livecd [08:20] i'm not sure i know how to do that action [08:20] it's pretty safe to upgrade to the latest version, once it's the actual release version [08:20] as i said, computer idiot over here [08:20] System > Administration > Partition Editor [08:21] is thing an enema? [08:21] minerva just google for "Linux liveUSB" [08:21] hellomon: yes you can resize to get more partitions (they will total the sum of the original size though) [08:21] so i can add more memory from gparted? [08:21] minerva: you can also install with wubi, just put the disk in the drive while you are in windows and it will install it right along side your windows OS, no partitioning [08:21] oh ok [08:21] thanks [08:21] i just gave this computer an enema [08:21] minerva, "somewhat old" shouldn't be an issue [08:21] memory like ram? [08:21] zerq: thx [08:21] wubi? [08:21] MoralExpl, you just need to add a new applet to your panel then [08:21] minerva: old computers tend not to be able to boot from USB [08:21] that bleachbit is strong [08:21] APERSON, gotcha Im fooling around with it right now [08:21] seem to be getting somewhere [08:21] ActionParsnip, I swear I saw something about that not too long ago [08:21] minerva: or at least USB flash drives. even my 1 year old laptop cant do it [08:21] i wonder what i just got rid of [08:21] minerva: its part of the system, boot to CD and you can install to USB. Make sure you md5 test the file you download too [08:21] !md5 | minerva [08:21] maco, i think mine can, but booting from the cd will work fine [08:21] minerva: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:22] MoralExpl, window list is the one you deleted [08:22] APERSON: i was ages ago so I'm asking now :) [08:22] ool [08:22] kp'[ik [08:22] k[ko [08:22] kl;]o [08:22] lm' [08:22] bilik07: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:22] mklp;mki [08:22] wait will it work if i install gparted on my system and add more partition memory from there? [08:22] er [08:22] minerva: wubi does a dual boot without partitioning by using a file inside windows' filesystem as the basis for your ubuntu install [08:22] i kept the terminal open on my browser ..can i print it so i can keep a record of what i just did? [08:22] minerale: Keep in mind that the livecd may be a bit slower than the same system after installing to the hard drive [08:22] !ops | bilik07 is troll flooding [08:22] APERSON: cos that would be sweet, i've seen people on netbooks with 4Gb storage and have like 5 kernels [08:22] bilik07 is troll flooding: Help! Channel emergency!

[08:22] maco, that's ok, i don't need to partition, as i have two hds [08:22] minerva: Keep in mind that the livecd may be a bit slower than the same system after installing to the hard drive [08:23] minerva: yeah, i was just explaining the wubi thing mentioned above since you asked [08:23] well when u use WUBI it askes how much memory you wanna partition [08:23] ardchoille, it can't be as slow as my windows [08:23] minerva: you have to partition or yuo cant write data to the drive surface [08:23] minerva: Ah, fair point :) [08:23] Balsaq did you try to copy/paste in gedit? [08:23] ActionParsnip: you missed hte part about minerva having 2 hard drives [08:23] minerva no it is still quite fast [08:23] but cds are slow [08:23] APERSON: is the number in the bottom let the amount it has cleaned? [08:23] well [08:23] maco: still needs partitioning [08:23] no littlegreen [08:23] i'm in complete windows frustration mode so i may just install it to my second hd [08:23] ActionParsnip: and it IS possible to format a drive without having any partitions on it [08:23] how do i do that [08:24] ActionParsnip: you can simply format the entire thing [08:24] minerva you might as well [08:24] maco: tru but i'm sure the installer will moan there is no / partition [08:24] you can always come back and ask us how to remove it [08:24] heh [08:24] ActionParsnip: then / would simply be sdb instead of sdb1 [08:24] copy is not lit up littlegreen, paste is lit up [08:24] maco: does that actually work? [08:24] ActionParsnip: why not? [08:25] maco: i see your point [08:25] Balsaq select the text you want to print with holding the left mouse button and dragging the mouse pointer through all the text, then right click with the mouse somewhere on the text, click on "Copy", open gedit and Ctrl+V... it's simple as that [08:25] maco: touche [08:25] maco: Don't you need a partition in order to have a file system? [08:25] ActionParsnip: i cant think of any reason why it shouldnt... mkfs doesnt care if its a partition or not [08:25] * bleah hi [08:25] ardchoille: nope [08:25] ardchoille: you can mkfs on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 no problem [08:26] maco: its just a block device after all [08:26] how do i open gedit littlegreen [08:26] APERSON: i just reclaimed 1.2Gb dude [08:26] ardchoille thats what i thought. these ppl are confusing me [08:26] to format a drive, you need to define a partition and its format, amirite? [08:26] Balsaq write "gedit" in terminal [08:26] anyone had luck compiling a kernel module in karmic? [08:26] hellomon: its not *common* by any means, but its certainly possible [08:26] maco: I've tried that in the past and it didn't work [08:27] so i begin with gedit [08:27] sudo rm -rf /home [08:27] ok [08:27] i see [08:27] hellomon, ardchoille: ive formatted flash drives without partitioning [08:27] brb [08:27] someone told me to type that [08:27] !danger [08:27] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

[08:28] madarchot [08:28] maco: kicked? good, but I would have banned them as they know exactly what they were posting [08:28] cat /dev/zero > /dev/null used up cpu yeah [08:28] but it didn't lockl my system [08:29] roflparrot: try yes instead [08:29] ActionParsnip, nice! [08:29] ActionParsnip: example? [08:29] OK, would everyone stop posting Stupid Command Line Tricks, thanks? [08:29] roflparrot: yes > /dev/null [08:29] no [08:29] ok imma try [08:29] APERSON: helped by the 700Mb ISO in trash ;) [08:30] APERSON: still running it seems [08:30] Madpilot, command line commands are the easiest way to give support, as you simply have to copy and paste commands. It is far more consistent that using a gui to give support [08:31] APERSON: +1 [08:31] +1 [08:31] is the upgrade path from 9.04 to 9.10 somewhat stable now? [08:31] APERSON: but new guys always say "i shouldnt have to do this. I'm not a programmer!" [08:31] considering upgrading my work laptop, but i can't really afford it die on me [08:31] APERSON, that wasn't what I was telling people to stop. I was commenting on some of the "CPU locking" and filesystem wrecking.. stuff. [08:31] well ive been using 9.1 for about a week now. its alright [08:32] hellomon, did you upgrade or fresh install? [08:32] ok I have two instances of yes > /dev/null going and cpu has maxed both cores, I have a song playing and it skipped when I opened system monitor [08:32] fresh. [08:32] Madpilot, well, forgive me, I didn't read all of my scrollback [08:32] littlegreen its working [08:32] hellomon, ah, well it's the upgrade path i'm worried about :D [08:32] Hello, how do I restore my grub from the live cd please ?

[08:34] Balsaq: i suggest you explain the virtues and advantages of sudo to your HP employed friend [08:35] yup [08:35] ActionParsnip, /etc/apt/apt.conf/20archive might be what we're looking for setting the number of kernels we keep [08:35] he's a windows guy [08:35] ActionParsnip, but I'm not sure, that dir seems to be a place to look [08:35] Balsaq: yep, thought so [08:35] luomo what kind of modem exactly are you using? [08:35] well at least i have a record of all this stuff i whacked [08:35] Balsaq, glad I could help. You cleared lots of logs and caches [08:35] Balsaq: windows users are created as admin so they have full reign over their systems and most just log in as admin to do their daily stuff [08:36] now if i want to bleach it again do i still follow the same command or wil lthat install it over the install [08:36] Balsaq: same thing applys, all browsers are ran as adminn so any virus will have full access to all system files [08:36] Balsaq: then they moan they get problems [08:36] modem is for DSL internet connection and dhcp connection with it is not working.It is manufactured by my service provider [08:37] my sound goes mute early as i turn it down even though it isn't all the way down on the sound meter on the screen === hellomon is now known as imyoSUPERMAN [08:37] yeah he just couldnt figure out why i wasnt root ..ket tellin me i meissed something [08:37] Balsaq: vista has this stupid asking "are yuo really sure" pop up which most users hack their system to remove [08:37] luomo so you have a DSL router you cannot access? [08:37] it jumps] [08:37] yes i can access on windows but not on ubuntu 9.10 [08:37] luomo are you using wired or wireless connection? [08:37] if i want to bleach it out again in a few weeks. do i follow the same command or will ibe installing it over top of itself? [08:38] i cant connect to both type of connections [08:38] Balsaq: no need to reinstall it, just run the app [08:38] ok so the app is in my menus now somewhere...ill find it [08:38] cool [08:38] luomo is that a PC that you are using or a laptop? [08:38] a laptop [08:38] wow thanks [08:39] Balsaq: should be in Applications > System [08:39] ok looking thanks [08:40] luomo what is the output of the "ifconfig" in terminal? [08:40] weird its there...twice...one says bleachbit...one says bleachbit (as root)....printed just like that? [08:40] my sound goes mute early as i turn it down even though it isn't all the way down on the sound meter on the screen. the sound jumps from mute to loud and it sucks [08:40] Balsaq: if your friend comes over, open a terminal and run: sudo -s he'll feel right at home then ;) [08:41] but its therewell iwas telling him about the sudo apt get install non free stuff [08:41] who knows about this? [08:41] why is bleachbit listed twice [08:41] no wireless extensions. [08:41] eth0 no wireless extensions. [08:41] wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

[08:44] Balsaq, you can run it either as your user or as the admin [08:44] By setting Adapter 2 to Host-only (in Virtual Box) should allow to listen on ports, right? [08:44] which do i use next time, plain ole bleachbit or bleachbit (as root)...as it says in my sytem...oh well who cares i am way better off now [08:44] Zargle routers use port 80 for their administration panels. I suggest you forward that port or use port 8080 [08:44] Balsaq, tjhe admin user can remove more things, but is all more dangerous [08:44] ok i see you say either one [08:44] thanks [08:44] Balsaq, I run it as user first, then the admin [08:45] My wireless connection is not establishe.

[09:06] I wish [09:06] q0_0p: well it will use karmic repos by default [09:07] post it again and I'll notify an op [09:07] Timbauns: do you know what that command does? [09:07] ActionParsnip, wont it bug about not having ubuntu-desktop? [09:07] ardchoille: what does that do? looks crazy [09:07] no [09:07] any major bugs in the 9.10??? [09:07] ActionParsnip, just wondering [09:07] ActionParsnip: fork bomb [09:07] it crashes your system [09:07] maco: no it does not work [09:07] holy crap? why does it not work then? [09:07] maco: gotcha [09:07] testing forkbomb... [09:07] maco: i hear there wont be any new theme again in 10.04? [09:07] Timbauns: This needs to go to another channel, not here [09:07] if by crash, you mean freeze, yes [09:07] Timbauns: stop trying to get us to try it out so you can laugh [09:08] maco: simple reboot fixes it i guess ;) [09:08] indus: *shrug* im a kubuntu person. dunno what those gnome people are doing [09:08] I am unable to use lock screen & screensaver [09:08] maco: aah ok K Is beautiful [09:08] q0_0p: i guess but I always clean install so upgrading to new distro isnt an issue (thats the time you'll need the annoying metapackage) [09:09] maco: actually i wonder why people had such long discussions on forums about the look, they already have it with kubuntu [09:09] anyone have any good solutions for imaging a drive to a samba share or ssh ? [09:09] indus: they do not yet know the awesome that is kde ;-) [09:09] Any help available on Speech Recognition? [09:09] maco: i want to move to it now, iam tired of ugliness [09:09] yeah the forkbomb works a treat [09:09] this may be a stupid question but does ubuntu has a firewall? [09:10] also those threads give the impression ubuntu is ugly, add a K and all is good [09:10] ratbert, yes, iptables [09:10] !firewall | ratbert [09:10] ratbert: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [09:10] ratbert: yeah ufw [09:10] ActionParsnip, i'm just using ubuntu 8.10 and just grabing what i need to run programs from karmic repos [09:10] the linux kernel has iptables and userland applications like frestarter interfaces them [09:10] ratbert: iptables is included but unconfigured by default. lack of configuration is not an issue, however, since no services are listening on any ports by default. this is effectively like "drop all" [09:10] ratbert, I like to use firestarter to configure it [09:10] ratbert: so what APERSON means is that ufw is a front end to manage the underlying firewall called IPTABLES [09:11] ratbert: USE gufw a gui frontend [09:11] ActionParsnip, new versions to programs needs newer libraries so i just did it like that; same with U-lite? [09:11] hi, I got some problem with the gnome-panel. It seem to fail to launch correctly and I need to kill him then is restart and work fine [09:11] so is firestarter [09:11] maco: Best description I've seen yet [09:11] q0_0p: thats what i do, i install lxde then once in the gui I can instll my usual stuff, then carve out the drivers I dont use and start building from there [09:11] Hello guys. any Idea about Speech Recognition on Ubuntu 9.10? [09:11] APERSON: gufw has a much nicer interface than firestarter [09:12] hey_boy: i didnt know there was any... [09:12] indus is it top edge :D [09:12] maco, to each their own :) [09:12] hey_boy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech [09:12] ActionParsnip: wrong direction [09:12] ActionParsnip: he is looking for speech to text apps hey_boy [09:12] APERSON: heh i use iptables directly [09:12] question. how come i can't get no graphic equalizer for my totem [09:12] ratbert: what do you mean topedge? iptables is a full featured firewall, but its complicated [09:12] I have firestarter added to my /etc/sudoers and have it set in /etc/network/if-up.d to start it whenever there is a network connection :0 [09:13] APERSON: i used to use firestarter, but i just saw some gufw screenshots and hey thats nice [09:13] firestarter is bad i hear, unmaintained now [09:13] hey_boy: text to speech == espeak (one option) [09:13] ActionParsnip, have u tried fluxbox? thats the lightest i've gone [09:13] ganjanaut: gstreamer does not support equalizers [09:13] indus the default one will do just fine?? [09:13] i dont get it though, a command line tool to use another command line tool :D [09:13] maco: blast! [09:13] ratbert: default yea [09:14] confound it all [09:14] ratbert: i dont know of any other firewalls [09:14] ratbert: in linux i mean [09:14] i needs me a volume boost. i needs it! [09:14] thanks indus [09:14] cee ya [09:14] maco, holy crap! last update in 05, upon checking SF [09:14] ratbert: use or install gufw to control [09:14] q0_0p: yeah its real good, very good hotkey support. flwm is as light as i'v tried but it dodnt stay long [09:14] APERSON: hehe [09:14] maco, maybe I'll give ufw a try :) [09:15] APERSON: ufw is command line. gufw for gui. [09:15] ActionParsnip, i think anything is fine as long as i got gnome-do [09:15] maco: is there a system-wide one i can use? [09:15] maco, yeah, thanks [09:15] q0_0p: theres fluxbuntu too ;) (unofficial release) [09:15] ActionParsnip, go minimal and just have gnome-do [09:15] ganjanaut: nope. its possible to overdrive using pulseaudio if you just need all around louder...but ive never done it [09:15] ganjanaut, open up the sound prefs and move the slider past 100% [09:15] q0_0p: i go minimal and use guake [09:15] q0_0p, I used to do that [09:15] ActionParsnip, whats guake? [09:16] ActionParsnip: getting back to the volume thing: this only happens in ubuntu, not windows, so I know its not the hardware [09:16] !info guake | q0_0p [09:16] q0_0p: guake (source: guake): A drop-down terminal for GNOME Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.0-4 (karmic), package size 117 kB, installed size 804 kB [09:16] ActionParsnip, ah kind like yakuake [09:16] q0_0p: and tilda, yes [09:16] APERSON: the slider doesn't go to 11 [09:16] ActionParsnip, i use that yakuake since im on kde3.5 [09:16] any scim users about? [09:16] q0_0p: thats all i need for pretty much everything except web browsing [09:17] ActionParsnip, cool [09:17] ok, I'm off to image my eeepc [09:17] ActionParsnip, guake looks cool [09:17] I'll be back! [09:17] q0_0p: does the same thing as yakuake [09:17] ActionParsnip, i know [09:18] ActionParsnip, yakuake never ran good on gnome [09:18] q0_0p: i found tilda a little flaky, guake feels solid [09:19] hi. XFCE and Samba dont work together or something? im missing the Places-Network i had in Gnome. [09:19] ActionParsnip: getting back to the volume thing: this only happens in ubuntu, not windows, so I know its not the hardware [09:19] Where can I get the key for a repository in ppa.launchpad.net? [09:19] exit [09:19] Guest81437: well yeah, the volume control is a software construct [09:19] danjerous: what error do you get?

[09:22] ActionParsnip: Hm, thank you very much. If you can give a hint what to do if I want to remove it from ~/.gnupg/ now ? :) [09:23] Why does my volume icon keep disappearing ? [09:23] Anyone happen to know ? [09:23] danjerous: I think "gpg --delete-key 4E5E17B5" [09:24] Or how I might be able to get it back ?

[09:40] I have added my dit to PATH to /etc/enviroment /root/.profile and /root/.bashrc. Commands from this dir are now accesible from my user, but not accessible when running under the sudo.

[09:46] aperson: awesome! [09:47] mnemoc: works only for launchpad afaik though, and everything you add via that end up in its own entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [09:48] ARTSIOM: set it for root, use sudo -H [09:48] anyone know that command that gives you a progress bar for operations? [09:49] pv ?

[09:51] llutz: yes, but I have already added PATH=$PATH:/mydir to /root/.profile and /root/.bashrc, but commands from /mydir are still not accesible when I run them under sudo [09:52] ARTSIOM: used sudo -H? [09:54] llutz: should I set the HOME every time? is it possible to add PATH persitanly? [09:54] ARTSIOM: if not, users env is used [09:55] llutz: but I has also added the same dir to PATH in /etc/environment and commands are available to my user [09:55] is it possible to put a print server on the dmz? [09:55] Relogging fixed the problem [09:55] just wondering [09:55] But I don't understand what's happening [09:56] ARTSIOM: maybe config-issue in sudoers-file then. read "man sudoers", theres some options to handle env/pathes [09:58] how stable is btrfs? will it definatly get corupted on a crash or just maybe? [09:59] Rioting_Pacifist: it will maybe definetely get corrupted. === dexter__ is now known as Dexter [10:00] which will be faster for / (i.e i don't care about corruption just speed) [10:00] q0_0p: hello [10:01] i'd guess btrfs over ext4 but i'm not sure [10:01] serhiy, hi [10:01] serhiy, do i know u [10:01] Hello, what is the proper way to uninstall a .deb package that I installed via sudo dpkg -i?

[10:23] fully agree :) [10:23] Hi, I'm trying to use dpkg -r to remove a .deb that I installed, but it is telling me that the package hasn't been installed. Are there individual packages inside of one .deb, and if so, is there a way to list them? [10:23] it's perfectly reasonable to have X libs on a server, as long as there's no X server... [10:23] Too many third party apps need an X configuration tool, so it's nice to be able to run them over ssh -X [10:23] (well, usually ssh -CX) [10:23] khelvan_a: Try: dpkg -r [10:24] thats what i did when i didn't want to manually setup samba [10:24] no comment :p [10:24] jpds - I get this: dpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in [10:24] i agree with u [10:25] What's a good package for installing new themes for windows ? === abms1116|away is now known as abms1116 [10:25] Like themes in Appearance Preferences [10:25] I just re-installed ubuntu 9.10 fresh but I get a grub error 17 at boot [10:25] khelvan_a: so dont do the whole .deb, just the bit before _ [10:26] khelvan_a: Not the file name of the .deb, just the package name like "ubuntu-desktop" [10:26] lorenzosu, use liveCD and edit Grubmenu [10:26] maco, jpds - thanks, I got this: dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove nxclient, only the config files of which are on the system.

[10:36] jozefk: for example --> sudo update-rc.d sshd defaults [10:36] well you could use a script to run at boot to do it [10:36] jozefk: is in /etc/init.d/ [10:36] and there is /etc/rc.di can't do it manually with vim? [10:36] lorenzosuu in CLI mode now? [10:36] hi i am having a problem with a broken package i used the apt-get install -f to try to fix it but it now work [10:37] init.d ok thanks. that's what I needed. what is the config file for init.d? [10:37] !runlevels | jozefk [10:37] jozefk: 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. [10:37] jozefk: all this stuff is changing in ubuntu. many things are still sysV though. [10:38] dose anyone know how to fix broken packages [10:38] jozefk: but there is no single file to edit. you have to use update-rc.d or rcconf or bum [10:38] pdragon_: sudo apt-get install -f [10:38] already tried that [10:38] pdragon_: sudo apt-get update, followed by that? [10:38] i just did a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 to clear/zero out an old hard disk, is there a way to see at what speed it's writing to the device (And possible the progress ?) [10:38] hi everyone! can u help me understand why - ubuntu 9.10 installed on notebook, after restart some times do not allow to access meny, panels [10:38] upstart system v inittab .. don't know any of that. i just want to start sshd and httpd and cron daemons during boot of system [10:39] jozefk: or make the various smlinks in /etc/rcn.d/ directories by hand [10:39] that's all and so simple [10:39] but with ubuntu it's not simple [10:39] i see. [10:40] i was hopping maybe they will start by themselves after installation :) but not sure if that was the case [10:40] jozefk: i think they do [10:40] all of them? cron, sshd, httpd? [10:41] and they start after each reboot right? [10:41] jozefk: well update-rc.d is simple enough [10:41] jozefk: yes, they should by default be configured to auto-start [10:41] erUSUL: if its simple enough, why does its manpage say its not for humans to use? [10:41] hey [10:41] update-rc.d is it a file? can i edit that in vim? [10:42] jozefk: no, its a command thats supposed to be used by maintainer scripts and not by humans [10:42] can I disable shortcuts like ALT+F7 (move window) on ubuntu? [10:42] jozefk: as i said earlier to enable sshd --> sudo update-rc.d sshd defaults [10:42] when talking about pam_ldap.conf is there a way so that it will work to login remotly without acc use the password in the config? [10:42] !info bum [10:42] bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.2-1 (karmic), package size 83 kB, installed size 520 kB === khelvan_a is now known as khelvan [10:42] jozefk: to disable it sudo update-rc.d -f sshd remove [10:42] !pm | pdragon_ [10:42] pdragon_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [10:43] erUSUL, then I can do #sudo update-rc.d httpd defaults as well right? [10:43] once one had an encrypted /home folder is it possible to undo that option after install time ? [10:43] wireless card refuses to associate with the router its 3945abg iwl3945, same problem with ndiswrapper, network manager, wicd and through terminal it refuses to communicate with the routher but i still can view available networks and it even prompts me for a password.. when i remove router password it doesnt connect still.. network manager keeps connecting forever with no results and wicd says Could not contact the wireless access point. any suggestions.. tried bac [10:43] here is what the apt-get -f install tells me http://pastebin.com/d7e2598d0 [10:43] I don't understand why the installer failed though [10:43] maco: i'm sure jozefk is open to other suggestions. [10:43] is there a chronometer program for ubuntu? [10:43] jozefk, chkconfig --list [10:43] yep chkconfig is dandy [10:43] erUSUL, how can I see the list of all daemons which i have in autostart?

[10:45] moDumass, have you done sudo apt-get clean ? [10:45] kekale, i have [10:46] nope i did not installing it on my acer mini [10:46] moDumass, well, do you have your root dir on a separate partition?

[10:48] ah,but that was a minor problem [10:48] pdragon_, I broke my synergy package when I installed synergy+, but I just removed synergy and all was well [10:48] jpds: yep that too ;) [10:48] http://www.pastebin.org/59130 [10:48] ALL = NOPASSWD: will let the user remote run only the commands i specify without password,right?

[11:12] how do you reinstall grub after reinstalling windows? the instructions for versions prior to karmic dont seem to work [11:12] MrNaz i recommend super grub disk [11:13] peleczek url ? [11:13] my problem is that at boot my uuid of root partition isn't recognized, so my distro doesn't stard [11:13] saves nerves [11:13] guntbert, http://www.pastebin.org/59146 [11:13] nvm [11:13] *t [11:13] yo yo yo [11:14] hi guys how do i run a tar.gz file? [11:14] eugene_: tar zxvf file.tar.gz [11:14] lol [11:14] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [11:14] eugene_: you don't run it, its a compressed archive [11:14] ok. lemme try it [11:14] eugene_: whats the file for? [11:15] Does anyone know I can use Terminal Server Client to access an RDP host over the internet rather than being confined to just the local network? [11:15] hello! my add or remowe applications has disappeared :O i tried right clickin on applications and edit, but i cant click it as active... [11:15] there's a software in there and i need to install it [11:15] eugene_: a tar.gz is a zip file. what do you mean by run? you can extract (deflate) it [11:15] Fizix: you would need to configure port forwarding on the external router on the the other network [11:15] eugene_: is it not in the repositorys? [11:15] Fizix: sounds like you need to set up port forwading [11:16] eugene_: what software? are you sure it is not in the repos ? [11:16] Fizix: The router will then forward the connection to the system to define in the forwarding rule [11:16] no. its not in the repository [11:16] moDumass: so you used 79GB in /home - you can employ the same idea stepping down and always looking for the biggest folder till you find the culprit - the netxt step would be du -sh /home/* [11:16] *next [11:16] is there any way to reinstall the CDROM so that Karmic can make a new /etc/fstab [11:17] guntbert, yjamls [11:17] darkipod: i can send you mine if you like, the UUIDs will be different but otherwise will be the same [11:17] ActionParsnip & tlvb, thank you! Now I'm off to Google how to setup port forwarding on XP. [11:17] moDumass: ? [11:17] Fizix: its not on xp [11:18] ok [11:18] ActionParsnip: it has extracted the file but how do i run it [11:18] Fizix: the port forwarding is done on the router [11:18] Oh, the CLIENT side needs port fowarding? [11:18] ActionParsnip not if the subnet is routed by a windows machine [11:18] eugene_: there is no single answer to that, you will have to read the files in the files you extracted [11:18] or it's just a simple i-net connection sharing [11:18] littlegreen: was getting there ;) [11:19] :) [11:19] Fizix: unless the external facing system is an XP system you will needto read the manual for the router [11:19] Neither I (client-side) nor the XP machine I'm trying to RDP into (host-side) has a router. [11:19] Fizix: unless you are using your XP computer as the router, you should search in your router docs [11:19] bah too late heh [11:19] Fizix so the remote machine, running winXP has a real IP address? [11:19] the bad side of using a keyboard layout I'm not accustomed to... [11:21] Fizix: if its an XP system connected directly to the web then no forwarding is needed [11:21] Fizix: as in with no router [11:21] The XP box is using a Verizon DSL modem. I when on a site to grab the IP address and whois info from it as the 'ipconfig' command only gave me a local-style IP address, 192.168.... [11:21] ActionParsnip: thanx man. i got it [11:21] *went [11:21] whats the name of the kubuntu bling installer background wallpaper (the blue one with the circles) ? [11:21] Fizix and the remote side doesn't have access to the router's control panel? If not I suggest you setup a VPN [11:22] Fizix: then simply connect to its IP address (you can findout the IP with http://www.ipchicken.com) and connect to it, you will need to enable remote logon and XP Home doesn't have this feature, only pro does [11:22] How can I configure gvfs mount point? [11:22] Fizix: you will need to ask in ##wndows how to enable the remote logon. When you connect it will lock the local display [11:23] paulie: i'd ask in #kubuntu [11:23] ActionParsnip, yea I enabled Remote Desktoping on XP Pro, allowed the exception on the firewall, etc. That's fine. It just seems like the Terminal Server Client cannot resolve the connection [11:23] ActionParsnip: i asked but no one knows [11:23] Fizix: are you connecting to the IP, it will be something like 80.3.23.67 or somesuch [11:23] Littlegreen, I actually was thinking that a little earlier, I'm just trying to make a little less work for myself right though [11:24] how can i give administ right to a user though terminal? [11:24] guitar-maniac sudo -i [11:24] Yea, the IP address is 72.90.52.241 You can whois it now and see it's the Verizon connection I'm talking about [11:24] littlegreen: thanks [11:24] guitar-maniac: sudo adduser $USERNAME admin [11:25] guitar-maniac: sudo useradd -G admin username (for an existing user) [11:25] paulie: this one? http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/screenshots/plasma-other-widgets_thumb.png [11:26] guitar-maniac@guitar-maniac-desktop:~$ sudo adduser -G admin guitar_maniac [11:26] [sudo] password for guitar-maniac: [11:26] guitar-maniac is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [11:26] I do just enter the IP address in the 'Computer' field of the Terminal Server Client, no? [11:26] epinky: nope, thats the default Air theme wallpaper [11:26] guitar-maniac you should sudo -i first... [11:26] i want to reinstall kernel packages using apt how do i do that [11:26] paulie: ok, sry I'm not a theme expert :D [11:26] np [11:26] didnt work... i mssed up yesterday and took the rights away from myself.. :D [11:26] i did, it said the same thing. that im not in the sudoers file. [11:27] guitar-maniac: use the recovery option at boot to login as root [11:27] I get the problem "unable to enumerate usb device on port 8" can someone help me. I can't even boot ubuntu [11:27] MikeChelen: ok, i will try that now! [11:27] guitar-maniac: then you will have to boot into recovery/root or run a live CD [11:27] guitar-maniac: you have to do it from recovery mode [11:27] haiii [11:27] dadis420, are you installing Ubuntu to a USB-connected external hard drive or something?

[11:28] Fizix no and there isn't even anything plugged into usb [11:28] i want to reinstall kernel packages using apt-get how do i do that [11:28] When I copy cd's with Brasero Disc burner and K3b - Does any data go into /tmp? Im thinking of partitioning my disc and not sure what size to make /tmp [11:28] n16h7f0x, apt-get install --reinstall i think [11:29] boomernang, yes [11:29] boomernang, how much ram do you have? You can always put that in ram if you have some to spare :) [11:29] aperson, 4gig (64bit) [11:29] n16h7f0x: do you mean reinstall the current kernel and its packages? [11:30] boomerang: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/disk-partitioning.html [11:30] ActionParsnip, yes that's right [11:30] boomernang, same here [11:30] !tab | dadis420 [11:30] dadis420: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[11:31] !bored [11:31] especially for dvd burning [11:32] guntbert ah thanks [11:32] boomernang, worse comes to worse, it goes into swap [11:32] dadis420: you're welcome :-) [11:32] I get the problem "unable to enumerate usb device on port 8" can someone help me. I can't even boot ubuntu [11:32] This problem is preventing me from using my computer :( [11:32] boomernang, though I don't really see the reasoning to have a separate /tmp partition [11:34] lala [11:34] :D [11:35] aperson, well the problem is.. I really want to give / like 1gig [11:35] i just did a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 to clear/zero out an old hard disk, is there a way to see at what speed it's writing to the device (And/or possible the progress ?) [11:35] aperson, less even [11:35] I installed xrdp, when i logged in to it, it started KDE, but I want to start gnome - I uninstalled KDE and now it has problems (it's not describing what problem, just saying that there are problems) - I guess there must be at some point configured that it should start gnome, where? [11:37] Could anyone please help me to set up a multicast router on Ubuntu? I've just installed `smcroute' but don't know what to do next... [11:38] boomernang, you'd have to be manually specifying lots of partitions then! [11:38] Dreamglider: dd doesnt ave that, it just works and you see nothing [11:40] ActionParsnip: Ok, but is there any way to see the current transfer speed of a USB device(Like the network monitor) since the harddisk is connected via a USB to SATA/PATA bridge ?

Im not sure you are going to gain anything. with exactly 4gb of ram . some is still 'reserved' for use by the system. [12:45] IpSe_DiXiT: so you still wont have full access to all 4 gb.

[12:48] I wish D: [12:48] IpSe_DiXiT: from my understanding the normal 32bit kernbel can addres UP TO 4gb. however some of the 4gb will still be reserved by the system and thus not fully useable. [12:49] hey. I have a dell Studio 14. Karmic is up. but no sound. what to do? [12:49] IpSe_DiXiT: i imagine the 64bit, and pae stuff still have that same limitatiion [12:49] IpSe_DiXiT: pay attention to how much ram and swap you are using. If you are never using swap. then more ram proberly wont help much. [12:49] Actually Dr. Willis I think in theory its 3.5 GB? I know XP only uses 3.25 MAX but thats an NT system [12:50] Dr_Willis: ok, so till 4gb. where can i find this piece of info? cuz i looked it up but it seems everyone says a different thing, isnt there an "official" ubuntu guide about it? (haven't found it) [12:50] please help. badly need sound [12:51] IpSe_DiXiT: i read a lot of forum posts on it. its a hardware limition of the 4gb thing to some degree.. if you have exactly 4gb of ram . a small part of it will still get reserved for use by the hardware. From what i recall. [12:51] Dr_Willis: atm im using 48% of 2gb of ram and 3% of 3.5 Gb of swap [12:51] IpSe_DiXiT: if you have more then 4gb then its time to worry about it, [12:51] IpSe_DiXiT: odd that you are using any swap at all. if your ram is not 100% [12:51] can someone help? please [12:52] Dr_Willis: yeah i thought it was strange as well, but thatz what i see by opening the System Monitor [12:52] IpSe_DiXiT: you are proberly worring about things too much.

[12:53] IpSe_DiXiT: you can always try. but ive rarely had ram issues with linux. [12:54] hello [12:54] IpSe_DiXiT: you would have to be putting quite a bit of load/ram ussage on a system to make things 'stuck' :) [12:54] really, nobody using UNR here? [12:54] hylman: theres a few in here that use it. [12:54] sjd: I meant uninstalling PULSEAUDIO and going back to ALSA , try to do a search about that [12:54] Dr_Willis: do you use it? [12:54] please recommend me a good open source mailing software - that integrates easily with database [12:55] Dr_Willis: so you think the reason why sometimes it gets stuck itz cuz of my cpu? but i have 2.40Ghz dual core processor [12:55] hylman: ive used it in the past. poerhaps ask your actual question about it . and someone may answer you [12:55] mrXX Try Thunderbird or Evolution? [12:55] epinky: okay. thanks for the tip. let me give a try [12:55] IpSe_DiXiT: it all depends on what you are doing.

[12:59] i always just copy the whole .mozilla dir over to my new install. :) befor i run firefox the first time. [12:59] epinky, how? archieve type not supported [12:59] AlexJones: .mozilla/firefox/... you can import from there using Bookmarks -> Manage bookmarks -> Import and backup [13:00] epinky, its ok. solved [13:00] thanks [13:00] AlexJones: have you heard about Xmarks? once you installed it, you don't have to worry about bookmarks anymore. . .

I always do clean installs personally. [13:03] yes root can undo the protection stuff also in chattr [13:03] Dr_Willis, well i know Fedora does as well which is why i stated i was not sure how all linux flavors handled it :) [13:03] thanks Dr_Willis [13:03] jcrawford: it's supposed to be safe once it is released, but you should have backups just in case as Dr_Willis suggested [13:03] !vnc > Fizix [13:03] Fizix, please see my private message [13:04] johnny__: if you don't want root to be able to undo some setting then you need some sort of hardware protection. Try a cd-r I guess? [13:04] or a masterlock [13:05] on a box with your hard drives in it === ubuntu_ is now known as Jack|F3 [13:05] ok [13:05] cdrom maybe [13:05] my karmic isnt booting, any ideas how to troubleshoot it? [13:06] Try googling karmic wiki maxstirner! [13:06] In Eastern beliefs, the karmic effects of all deeds are viewed as actively shaping past, present, and future experiences. The results or 'fruits' of actions ...? [13:06] IpSe_DiXiT, , veha, kavurt: But I can only import if I have a .json file or not? Can I simply move the entire subfolder to the new installation? [13:06] maxstirner1: boot to liveCD or installed karmic? [13:06] Conscious decisions are important, they define us on a lot of levels max. [13:06] installed, its suddenly stopped booting at an early stage [13:07] "starting apparmor profile" etc [13:07] i am trying to run a bootp server for upgrading the firmware of my modem/router. When running the command: bootpd -d4 it returns: bootpd: error(3): bind: Address already in use [13:07] ActionParsnip: first it stopped upon "Loading cpufreq modules" which I deactivated, this didnt help, so I assume its the step after that [13:07] maxstirner1: edit the boot options in grub with e to edit the boot to not show the boot splash so you can see whats going on [13:07] ActionParsnip: I would really just like to know how to troubleshoot it.. [13:08] there is no info on the web for this error [13:08] ActionParsnip: It does turn off splash at the end, showing where its failed.. [13:08] Well booting into an OS is a simple matter, just some machine code and software and stuff [13:08] you mean quiet=no [13:08] Try googling bootloader max [13:08] Misantropo: sounds liek it may allr4eady be running, perhaps you need to 'restart' the service. [13:08] i see [13:08] Dr_Willis, thanks [13:09] maxstirner1: then websearch for that, see if there are bugs or guides for it [13:09] AlexJones: told u though, if u wanted to import ur bookmarks u should have had them "exported" before in a .html file, im not sure about what u can do now, but u can try what Dr_Willis suggested, just copy and paste ur whole old /.mozilla folder into ur new /home overwriting the new one and see what happens (of course id do a backup of my new one, u never no...) [13:10] ActionParsnip: thanks for your help, sadly there arent.. where would the logfiles be? [13:10] hello [13:10] hello! [13:10] IpSe_DiXiT, OK. Thank you. [13:10] when trying to install python-fife i get this error: python-fife: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.4-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [13:10] AlexJones: no sweat :D [13:11] Dr_Willis, it is not running [13:11] Tired [13:11] Go away [13:12] hello 2all [13:12] do you have ubuntu server graphic install option? [13:13] anyone...? [13:13] hello. i have only ssh access to ubuntu. how can i perform software updates via command line (i.e. see what update are available and then actually update) thanks! [13:14] sledgeas: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:15] If i export a file running a php code in my website(located in a remote server) where will the file get exported?? [13:15] I have a mild pet peeve.... I connect to a Cisco VPN using vpnc and Network-Manager-vpnc... I originally installed this system as 9.04 (jaunty), but upgraded to 9.10 (karmic) when it came out. Before the upgrade, I would get a padlock icon that would cover my connection icon in my "task bar" when I was connected, but after the upgrade I don't get that any more [13:15] LjL: any idea why i get that error when trying to install python-fife? [13:15] Mike a CCNA or CCNP could help you [13:16] It's not a major problem - the VPN still works - I just like the quick visual reference to tell me if I'm connected [13:16] Maybe they'll address that in 10.x [13:16] !info python-fife [13:16] Package python-fife does not exist in karmic [13:16] EvaLuaTe: where does that come from? [13:17] LjL: no idea, I'm actually trying to install unknown-horizons, and it requires python-fife [13:17] That's a cool game! [13:17] epinky: hey. i ran apt-get purge pulseaudio. now pulseaudio had been installed. but now, seems, sound is not managed. what to do? [13:17] EvaLuaTe: that's not in the repos either - where does it come from? [13:17] Jack|F3: yeah, I'm looking forward to try it myself. Any tips on how to get it to install? [13:17] LjL: : http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/07/unknown-horizons-rts-game.html [13:18] Hi [13:18] Try WinE, but remember it is a D3D10 game [13:18] hi [13:18] hi guys.. do any of you know something about restructured text? I am considiering using it as an alternativ to latex but i don't know how to number figures and tables... [13:18] sjd: now, I guess ALSA should be installed [13:18] in the install of 9.10 i chose to partition one of my discs as /home/sdb/data. its all sweet but it is owned by root and in group root. Is this the proper way/safest way? Or should i change its ownership and group to my ubuntu user? [13:18] I don't manage to activate dual screen with an ati graphic card. Can anybody help me ? [13:18] hello i wonder why Display settings with ATI user interface never lasts for next reboot... i click apply, ok... it works for that session, but on next load, i get old wrong settings. i dont expect quick fix... but it would be welcome for future version ... [13:18] i have one question - who had so stupid idea to use untested beta grub2 in "stable" distribution [13:18] does anyone know a way to add a windows user from linux? :) [13:18] epinky: ALSA is already installed. i can get the mixer running from the terminal. 1.0.20 [13:19] jacekowski: please ask actual support questions here [13:19] lol [13:19] IpSe_DiXiT, , veha, kavurt: It worked. Firefox automatically makes a backup. There is a folder called "backupfolder". Very nice. Thx for the help. [13:19] it's like every single day we have user with same grub2 problems [13:19] jarod51: make sure display is connected before you log in [13:19] on #ubuntu-pl [13:20] sjd: are you following some howto or guide? [13:20] Poland! That's a cool country [13:20] jacekowski: bugs.ubuntu.com [13:20] do you have ubuntu server graphic install option? [13:20] epinky: nope. [13:20] EvaLuaTe: it doesn't really seem to me like that package is supposed to work in karmic... [13:20] jrib: reported, nobody care [13:20] Good call jacekowski [13:20] jacekowski: link? [13:21] miha: it's ok :) [13:21] sjd: ouch, gimme a minute [13:21] epinky: :) [13:21] EvaLuaTe: try following these instructions instead (first remove the lines you added to sources.list with the other instructions) http://aminesoft.wordpress.com/2009/11/15/unknown-horizons-game-for-ubuntu/ [13:21] in there at least karmic is explicitly mentioned [13:21] wow 1411 users what a party [13:22] i'll repeat .. for log :)... i wonder why Display settings with ATI user interface never lasts for next reboot... i click apply, ok... it works for that session, but on next load, i get old wrong settings. i dont expect quick fix... but it would be welcome for future version ... [13:22] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477430 [13:22] i've found couple duplicates of it in different variations [13:23] and no response to any of them [13:23] GRUB has had a troubled history IMO [13:23] miha: one more information, i don't/can't use ati proprietary drivers :( [13:23] but somebody had time to strip down gdm configurator [13:23] to 5 options [13:23] my karmic isnt booting as of today and its really winding me up [13:23] instead of normall configurator [13:23] and add loads of shit [13:23] it's getting worse every release [13:23] LjL: yup, that seems to work. Thanks a lot :) [13:23] jacekowski: that would be the GNOME devs doing that to GDM i recall... [13:24] update-grub2 isnt working either [13:24] During installation of Ubuntu 9.10 I had created a 15GB /tmp partition within my encrypted LVM. Now I realize that those 15 GB is too much. How can I mount the 15 GB /tmp partition to /media/files permanently and use /tmp in the root partition? I had edited the fstab and changed /dev/mapper/encryptedVol-tmp /tmp ext4 defaults 0 2 [13:24] to /dev/mapper/encryptedVol-tmp /media/files ext4 defaults 0 2 [13:24] . But then after the next reboot I was not able to log in anymore getting the error message: "/usr/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check exited with status 256). What should I do? [13:24] AlexJones: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:24] jacekowski: whining here accomplishes nothing other than me caring less about helping you [13:24] epinky: ? [13:24] epinky: holy mother,5 channels,two topics and nobody ever told me this,it works! :D [13:24] jrib: i don't want your help [13:25] jrib: i fixed it myself [13:25] :D [13:25] d [13:25] jacekowski: this channel is for help [13:25] thanks LjL! [13:25] jrib: but there is loads of people that come to -pl and ask same questions [13:25] #ubuntu-offtopic for netsex :D [13:25] I can't open a panel! [13:25] * Brandano watches as the #ubuntu-offtopic user count rises... [13:25] :D [13:26] you can help my by not adding untested software to distribution that is used by normal users that don't know anything about PC [13:26] Howdy people [13:26] me* [13:26] anyone know why amarok seems to have forgotten all my track details and doesn't even try to read any ID3 (or similar info)? I've checked the same m4a track in VLC and it reads the track info [13:26] miha:What's netsex? [13:26] jacekowski: this channel is not in charge of that. [13:26] it's like phonesex, only you type [13:27] I want to install kubuntu from an iso image on a spare ext3 partition on my multiboot laptop, keeping my current grub2 install. Anyone knows if this is feasible? [13:27] jacekowski: this is open source, bugs happen. Document the fix on the bug report and point them there. You said you found duplicates, but I don't see any. One way to help triage the bug, is to mark all the duplicates so that developers can work on the issue more easily [13:27] Ahh, I've do it alreaddy [13:27] Brandano: during install tell to install grub on partition or nowhere at all, not on mbr, then edit grub settings for MBR yourself to continue loading from that partition [13:27] miha: usually one-handed, though, so it's much slower [13:27] epinky: I badly need sound. :( [13:28] miha: so I should boot in any case from the CD media, right? [13:28] Hey people, I am having the weirdest network problem. I manually configure my network. The sysadmins here gave me a static dhcp lease. But when I set /etc/network/interfaces to use dhcp for eth0 and I restart the network, I don't get a reply after the dhcp requests to 255.255.255.255 [13:28] I sort of hoped I could run the installer within one of the other OSes [13:28] Brandano: well later you can edit main grub to add boot from that partition [13:28] when I then add a route to the subnet in which eth0 should get an address and say ifconfig eth0 up, and then say dhclient3 eth0 [13:28] I do get an address [13:28] Brandano: just dont install over existing grub [13:29] so somehow I don't get a reply on the dhcp requests to 255.255.255.255 [13:29] Brandano static DHCP is used to assign always the same IP address to a network card's MAC Address. You don't have to input ip addresses manualy [13:29] sjd: "sudo file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio" gives any result? [13:30] littlegreen: nice to know that... [13:30] epinky: error: no such file or directory [13:30] Brandano => you don't configure your network manualy => everything is OK... or it is not static DHCP [13:31] littlegreen: I think you meant to say this to SmokeyD :) [13:31] sijd: ouch :( , you had to backed it up [13:31] Brandano I'm very sorry, I did... [13:31] SmokeyD static DHCP is used to assign always the same IP address to a network card's MAC Address. You don't have to input ip addresses manualy [13:31] ow, wait, I indeed missed that [13:31] :) [13:31] littlegreen: yeah I know [13:32] Hey guys I want to use chroot to update an ubuntu distriub via apt... What else beside envoking it via do I have to do? [13:32] plus, "static" and "DHCP" don't usually fit in the same sentence. Unless you are talking about ip reservation :) [13:32] SmokeyD => you don't configure network manualy => Everything is ok.. or it is not static DHCP routing [13:32] The problem is, I am not getting an IP through DHCP [13:32] Brandano: I am indeed talking about a reservation [13:32] so it's a matter of tweaking the DHCP server [13:33] so that a MAC will have the same IP assigned [13:33] I am not at home, I am in a business environment [13:33] epinky: uh oh. what to do now? [13:33] So I'll try to explain again [13:33] sorry if I'm not clear in my explanation [13:33] The syadmin here setup an ip reservation for me based on my mac address [13:34] sjd: ok, anyway let's try "sudo apt-get install -y esound esound-clients esound-common libesd-alsa0" [13:34] in his dhcp server [13:34] SmokeyD: you mean your DHCP client doesn't find a DHCP server on broadcast? [13:34] Brandano: yes [13:34] hmm, can you actually ping he DHCP server if you assign a static ip manually? [13:34] :) you sound so much clearer when you say it [13:34] Brandano: yes I can [13:35] a [13:35] a [13:35] a [13:35] Riba^^m: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

TBH I am not really a networking expert [13:35] Brandano: and when I set it to dhcp but don't start the network yet, then add a route to my local subnet on eth0, then say ifconfig eth0 up and then use dhclient3 -s I do get an ip address [13:36] how to chake out my input devise seting in ubuntu 9.10 via command === Floops[w]2 is now known as Fringe [13:36] Hey Guyz, I am tying to update an usb drive's ubuntu distro via a live as I dont have access to it!

After leaving the machine alone for a while, I do get normal dhcp replies [13:50] harovali1: install rcconf package, run rcconf and disable gdm from the list [13:50] nono [13:50] I guess it got the heebyjeebies or something [13:50] DaNoObY, not good [13:50] SmokeyD: probably it had to wait until a cronjob started [13:50] epinky: hey. no sound still. what to do? === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [13:50] why?

Mainly I had to deal with it to turn the GDM ON rather than OFF. Let me try something [14:00] !runlevel [14:00] 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. [14:00] mikechelen: rake maglev:start <--- maglev ruby [14:00] epinky: it seems to be for 9.04 [14:00] epinky: i have installed pulseaudio again. now im at square 1. [14:00] ubottu: oh [14:00] epinky: can you tell me what to do? [14:01] quizme: do ruby programs show up as ruby processes? [14:01] mikechelen: yeah but this is a smalltalk process i think. [14:01] sjd: follow that guide it worked for some people having problems with Pulseaudio [14:02] harovali1: ubottu is a ircbot... not a person behind the keyboard [14:02] epinky: but it is for jaunty. im on Karmic. [14:03] epinky: as in the how to, im not able to select alsa device in karmic [14:03] jadakren: you should see the number of people that tries o start a conversation with fajita in #apache [14:03] Ubuntu is using upstart many versiona ago, when it already used upstart gdm was launched with rc system and rcconf was able to deselect it, i used to use it [14:04] epinky: got any clue? [14:04] Can someone tell me why PPPoE doesn't work with Karmic (64 bit) fresh install? Fedora 12 handles it well and it also uses Network Manager. I have the log of on pastebin.com here: http://pastebin.com/m738c4c2f [14:04] sjd: you've got to switch to esd, that's my advice [14:04] what's the repo address to install gnome 2.8? [14:04] to connect to my database i use localhost, similarly, what is the name to use for a database in ixwebhosting.com? [14:05] epinky: how do I do that?! [14:05] jadakren: yes, I already realized, but it is being nice to me too :-) [14:05] quizme: try sorting by username or process time to narrow the list? [14:05] EagleScreen: that datum is very interesting [14:05] how to log in .. like msg svr ? [14:06] mrXX: ask your webhost, usually something like mysql.yourdomain.com [14:06] EagleScreen: how would you try to do the same now? Should I dive into Upstart's workings? [14:06] sjd: maybe you're missing this: "sudo apt-get install padevchooser -y" [14:06] how to log in .. like \msg svr ? [14:06] hello all, anyone know why Firefox keeps trying to launch nautilus to "Open Containing Folder" even though I told it to use something else? [14:07] harovali1: or you switch to Debian, or you learn editing upstart stuff [14:07] EagleScreen: I'd put debuian, but i'm doing a remote configuration, and the machine is already install, i'll try ti fix it in upstart [14:07] incidentally, what is the point of running ubuntu without GDM? [14:08] any 1 help me ... can any 1 say how to login in xchat, \nicksvr msg ? [14:08] unless it's a server, in which case there's purpose made distros [14:08] epinky: trying. [14:08] harovali1: you alwaus can uninstall gdm [14:08] purvesh: /msg nickserv help [14:08] note the direction of th slash [14:08] thanx [14:09] also, in xchat you can login to nickserv automatically, setting it up in the networks section of the preferences [14:09] epinky: but my friend has a studio 15. of the same spec. he runs karmic with sound better than ever! [14:09] if you uninstall gdm, and there is any other alternative like kdm or xdm, i think it won't start X automatically [14:10] sjd: the way I fixed sound in 9.04 after an upgrade was to purge pulseaudio and reinstall it from scratch [14:10] anyone here use a file-manager other than nautilus? [14:10] Brandano, hey how to see my log ... means in past .. what i ask .. n other stuff.. ? [14:10] epinky: I installed padevchooser. what next? [14:11] purvesh: that's xchat specific... perhaps there's an #xchat channel? [14:11] deserteagle: thunar is very good for me [14:11] EagleScreen, have you gotten thunar to open when you tell firefox to "Open Containing Folder" on downloads? [14:11] Brandano, its k.......! [14:11] sjd: Applications->Sound and Video->Pulse Audio Device Choser [14:11] I am running 8.04, Is the upgrade to 9.1 worth it? [14:11] yes [14:12] What do I gain? [14:12] deserteagle: i think it is easy to do [14:12] Codenut: yes. probably easier to reinstall, though [14:12] Can someone tell me why PPPoE doesn't work with Karmic (64 bit) fresh install? Fedora 12 handles it well and it also uses Network Manager. I have the log of on pastebin.com here: http://pastebin.com/m738c4c2f [14:12] !upgrade [14:12] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [14:12] EagleScreen, were you able to? i'm having issues getting it to work [14:12] Thanks [14:13] Codenut: unless you are in a business environment. In which case, 8.04 is a LTS release, stick with it [14:13] EagleScreen: yeah [14:14] hello [14:15] !hello | jack__ [14:15] jack__: 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! [14:15] epinky: i can see the volume bars running as I play a file. but still no soumd [14:15] In KDE I just killed Plasma and now my bars are gone... how do I reactivate? [14:15] epinky: what to do now? How do I get esound up? just install from synaptic? [14:16] epinky: if you have volume bars running then it's not a problem of drivers anyway [14:16] Brandano, In ubuntu there is any software like .. remote connectivity like TeamViewer, that we can share files and other things? [14:16] sjd: if you have volume bars running then it's not a problem of drivers anyway [14:16] epinky: so? what do you suggest? [14:16] purvesh: remote desktop with VNC is built in [14:16] sjd: something must be muted === yacc__ is now known as yacc [14:17] epinky: tried everything [14:17] purvesh: no idea what teamviewer is. there's several remote connectivity tools. The terminal sever client, the remote desktop tool, ... SSH! [14:17] MikeChelen, so in that i can connect to my friend pc ? [14:17] I wondered if the initrd of Karmic can handle multiple encrypted volumes? (I'd need to add a new PV to my LVM) [14:17] purvesh: yes, if your friend is also running ubuntu :) [14:17] sjd: "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" [14:18] epinky: i can get sound in the Jack [14:18] epinky: i used gnome-alsamixer. all volumes are high [14:18] MikeChelen, so .. i can also.. se his Desktop screen? [14:19] epinky: ? [14:19] epinky: :( [14:19] sjd: play with gnome-alsamixer and gnome-volmanager, there is a new "per application" section [14:19] purvesh: yup that is what it does, enable it in system -> preferences -> remote desktop [14:20] anyone know why Firefox launches nautilus to "Open Containing Folder" even though I told it to use something else? [14:20] epinky: i can see only totem in the application list. or am I looking at the wrong place? [14:21] sjd: "gnome-volume-control", then on Applications [14:21] i'm trying to install a package from a website, i get an error failed to satisf all dependencies (broken cache) .... it's a 9.10 package [14:22] epinky: i can see only totem there. as im playing a sound in totem' [14:22] dassouki, use synaptic if possible [14:22] Hey guys, if i forgot my root password how could i reset it? [14:22] MikeChelen, ok... thanx bro... actually i hav to work like, in my office many pc are there so i hav to connect them from my pc. and watch there desktop screen also .. that what other people are doing there. that also i can do .. ? [14:22] !root | epaphus [14:22] epaphus: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:22] sjd: have you tried with any other? vlc for example? [14:22] epinky: ? [14:23] hi, everytime i use jack control music mutes (in any player). does anyone know anything about this? [14:23] epinky: yeah. tried vlc [14:23] purvesh: yup, as long as they are all running ubuntu, and remote desktop has been enabled from the system menu [14:23] LjL, i dont have my user passsword either [14:23] deserteagle: it's not on synaptic [14:23] MikeChelen, and if they also hav different OS then also i can do that? [14:23] I have a creative sound cart. How can i aktive the mic. its unmuted but nothing happens when i speak. [14:23] epaphus, lmgtfy.com/?q=reset+root+password+ubuntu [14:23] heh [14:23] epaphus: then you can reboot giving "init=/bin/sh" as a kernel option in GRUB, and then use "passwd username" to change the password [14:23] AmokPaule: usually in your sound->input you'll have more than one mic option === ericm is now known as ericm-Zzz [14:23] deserteagle: Please don't do that, it is not helpful here. [14:24] go through them, and see which one moves your indicator [14:24] dassouki, then you'll have to chase down the dependencies [14:24] deserteagle: you didn't even manage to make that an actual URL :( [14:24] epinky: no hope still. [14:24] epinky: what to do? i need sounb bad;y [14:24] deserteagle: is there a way to do a build-dep on a .deb file [14:24] MikeChelen, oh... thanx bro ... but there any other option or other Software to watch their pc.. if they hav different OS? [14:24] Can anyone tell me if the initrd is up to decrypting multiple devices? [14:24] epinky: *badly [14:24] MikeChelen, do u have any idea if u dont mind? [14:25] i have there input volume and input level [14:25] LjL: really? because I just tried it out and it worked, want me to help you find out how to insert URLs into firefox? :P [14:25] dassouki: build-dep is to obtain the *build* dependencies, not the *runtime* dependencies, so it makes no sense for a .deb file (which is a binary package) [14:25] purvesh: if they are running another OS, then VNC server has to be installed, or use "reverse VNC" method - see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299489 (might be outdated) [14:25] sjd: if the jack is working then PulseAudio is working then something else is missing, mmm, sry no idea :( [14:25] I just plugged in a usb stick, now where do I find its files? Lspci does display the stick, but in /dev there's only /dev/usbmonX (where 0 <= x <= 8), of which none is a block device [14:25] smb96: thanks a lot for the link! sorry had to go and give my girlfriend a lift [14:25] purvesh, the issues are convience (VNC does work in Windows too for example), and network topology, ... [14:25] Is there any program that can control the remote's buttons? I've been given a MCE remote and it works fine in Windows Media Center. But I dislike Windows Media Center. There's a big button with a windows sign on it, when I push it in windows the media center opens. Is it possible to redirect this button in Linux to open XBMC? [14:25] LjL: thanks [14:26] dassouki, only way you'll get it to work will be to hunt each and every dependency and install them [14:26] hi there, i recently upgraded to karmic using the alternate cd, and after the upgrade it needed to restart, so i restarted, go to the booting logo of ubuntu and it froze there, restarted again and it flashed continuously something about ubuntu 'base-sector' [14:26] purvesh, that makes it all more complicated as it should be, because especially the kind of people that would benefit from help via desktop sharing are usually not capable of setting it all up :( [14:26] dassouki, i would suggest using firefox's ubuntu package search engine [14:26] epinky: uh oh ( [14:26] deserteagle: valid HTTP URLs begin with a resource type of "http", so "http://host/etc". leaving out the "http://" is invalid, and won't appears as a URL in most IRC clients. please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator (which i've googled for you) [14:26] hdhhs [14:27] De NGaB [14:27] how do i install java naming directory interface(JNDI)?I have downnloaded the zip files and i dont know what t do with them [14:27] DaNoObY, welcome [14:27] LjL, that's so nice of you! [14:28] gottago, bbl [14:28] I just plugged in a usb stick, now where do I find its files? Lspci does display the stick, but in /dev there's only /dev/usbmonX (where 0 <= x <= 8), of which none is a block device [14:29] yacc, thanx... but there any other Software except the Default ubuntu linux remote Desktop ? [14:29] I have a problem. I have two directories which both start with Kenan. when I type \ give a space and type the second word's first letter and hit Tab, one of them gets completely ignored. how can I fix this? [14:29] deserteagle: i found alist of the packages and installing them right now [14:29] Kartagis, rename one of the directories [14:29] purvesh, as a server probably not, as client we do MS rdp too. [14:29] dassouki, best of luck [14:29] hi there, i recently upgraded to karmic using the alternate cd, and after the upgrade it needed to restart, so i restarted, go to the booting logo of ubuntu and it froze there, restarted again and it flashed continuously something about ubuntu 'base-sector'. does this mean i have to reinstall ubuntu from scratch? [14:30] Supremacy, most likely it'll be the easiest fix [14:30] (to reinstall from scratch) [14:30] eish, are there no possible solutions apart from that? [14:30] !recovery | Supremacy, you might try to restore GRUB [14:30] yacc, as a server means we cant see their desktop and share files ? [14:30] Supremacy, you might try to restore GRUB: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [14:31] what can i use to make a flowchart? [14:31] yacc, so we cant share and see their Desktop in other Software? [14:31] ah ok [14:31] hi, everytime i use jack control sound mutes (in any player). Does anyone know anything about this? [14:31] will try that now :) [14:31] thanks [14:31] server is what makes your desktop available. [14:31] luist: try kivio [14:31] client is what shows you somebody else desktop. [14:31] !info kivio | luist [14:31] when i ssh to the machine it seems it has no history buffer or something, i can't use arrow to get commands or anything like ctrl+ R [14:31] luist: kivio (source: koffice): a flowcharting program for the KDE Office Suite. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.6.3-7ubuntu10 (karmic), package size 514 kB, installed size 1768 kB [14:31] luist: or perhaps dia [14:31] Ok, qemu supports only 32bit guests? *wonder* [14:32] anyone know what the command line command is to launch the Software Sources gui? [14:32] bluetooth headset stopped showing up in the sound preferences, anyone have ideas? === ogra__ is now known as ogra [14:32] yacc, my pc is 64bit :( [14:32] purvesh, that's nothing todo with your problem. [14:33] I have a disk array that I just installed, I partitioned it, then used pysdm to add a mout point. I gave it a name of 'files' however it created /media/fiels [14:33] is this how it works? [14:33] flakrat : when i need to do such a thing i usually right click on it to add it to the panel, then i just open the properties and i can see the command [14:33] can it be just /files [14:33] and secondly what the command line is to launch "Update Manager"? [14:33] I'm trying to install quickly an ubuntu into a VM to see if I can add a second hdd to my PC. [14:33] As nobody here knows if my Ubuntu setup will work with a second hdd, it seems :) [14:33] kosnick, I'm ssh'd in with X forwarding [14:33] yacc: What does quickly have to do with adding a hard drive? [14:34] one moment then i can do it for you, which were the commands? [14:34] I know I can run the cli tools, but want to check something via the gui [14:34] yacc: nevermind, I think I misread. [14:34] flakrat: 1) gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk 2 )sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [14:34] yacc: what does a vm have to do with a 2nd hd? You can easially add more hard drives to a linux install. [14:34] is there a way to have pysdm add the mout point to / and not /media? [14:34] there you are , guntbert was quickeer [14:34] Pici, quickly simply means he's probably going to overlook something and blame it on ubuntu :P [14:34] Pici, well, I do need to know if the initrd can do cryptsetup on multiple PV volumes ;) [14:34] guntbert, thanks [14:35] 563256654 [14:35] everytime i use jack control sound mutes (in any player), is there any solution to this? [14:35] flakrat: you're welcome :-) - you can always "edit the menus" to find out [14:35] yacc: I'm not sure sorry. 'quickly' is a name of an application for doing development work, I was a bit confused if thats what you were talking about. [14:35] Dr_Willis, so you know that initrd will not just stop working when I add a second physical volume to my root volume group? [14:35] yacc: i only use 'hard drives' I dont mess with cryptsetup and other fancy raid/lvm stuff. [14:35] good day everyone amen , ibm jre while installing on lenovo laptop says it is not ibm pc , why ? [14:35] TopKatz: better to manually edit fstab [14:35] yacc, so other which software good and work in 64bit OS if u dont mincd then can u giv me the names of the Other Software ? [14:35] I just plugged in a usb stick, now where do I find its files? [14:36] Freeaqingme|: in theory it should of launched a file manager, the thing should be accessed via /media/SOMTHING [14:36] purvesh: what's wrong with VNC? [14:36] Dr_Willis, in /media there's only cdrom* [14:36] Dr_Willis, you don't know what you are missing out, I was capable of just migrating my old root volume to my new PC while I've been using the data, but the issue is how clever the initrd scripts are. [14:36] And I think they can only handle one crypted physical volume, but that's just a guess. [14:36] I just had to point to the location using the little folder [14:37] yacc: no idea on that. I just use the 5+ hds in got on this linux box as simple mountpoints. :) [14:37] purvesh, I don't use stuff like that, so I'd had to google as much as you need to do it ;) [14:37] Dr_Willis, and I guess you have huge symlink farms trying to manage the space manually.

Enjoy your stay!

[14:38] flakrat: nice :) [14:39] I have a problem... I ah... have 4 partitions in my HDD, after I installed windows 7, my Ubuntu and Mint gone, but I looked for help from help.ubuntu.com/community/recoveringubuntuafterinstallingwindows [14:39] everytime i use jack control, sound mutes (in any player), any reason for this? [14:39] Dr_Willis, anyway, LVM is quite a worthy feature, enabling stuff that cannot be done without it (like creating stable snapshots, managing space, adding hdds, ..) [14:40] Ok, qemu-system-x86_64 is for 64bit guests :) [14:41] I follow the instruction and my Ubuntu's back, but windows 7 gone, now.. how am I gonna do to make the 3 OSs all appears on my Boot Menu?

[15:07] jeff_b: just "nautilus", or "nautilus --no-desktop" to prevent it rendering the desktop icons (if you've already killed nautilus from the process list) [15:07] madcheeze, have you looked in the synaptic package manager to see if there are any special drivers for your card?

[15:12] that array is actually 4tb [15:12] jadakren: thanks! [15:13] jongbergs, so, still the link you guys gave me? [15:13] beachdaze: it needs a compositing d/e to work though...so something like compiz or metacity with compositing enabled [15:13] hgsqajhzxvsdf [15:13] Is there anything I should know before I read the link? [15:13] donita_: wait, after installing win 7 the grub menu has gone? [15:13] jadakren: I will look into it, thanks again === heyzeus is now known as jmrodri [15:14] jongbergs, so you mean, I don't have to learn how to EDIT the menu language, just go "os-probe"? is that right? [15:14] seidos, subscribe to a bug? [15:15] I installed postgresql-8.3 and 8.4. I decided I didn't need 8.3, so I apt-get removed it. It left /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 and /var/lib/postgresql-8.3. I deleted those. Then I decided I wanted 8.3 after all, so I apt-get installed postgresql-8.3 again. It did not put the init script or the data directory back. What do I do? [15:15] jeff_b: looks like you got some research ahead of you... [15:15] Yup! jongbergs, after installing win7, the grub menu had gone, nothing appears, booting up turned out goes into Windows 7 directly, no menu, so Windows 7 is MENU KILLER [15:15] jadakren: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1272771.html [15:15] Windows has ALWAYS been a grub menu killer [15:16] donita_: thats because windows is not grub aware so it will overwrite the boosector with its own bootloader [15:16] that's why most tutorials tell you to install it first, THEN linux [15:16] trijntje: thank you i'll try [15:16] but I saved it by many commands which is Ubuntu Documentation told me to. It was really big help [15:16] I'm repeating it again since noone seems to have noticed :) [15:16] i have problem mounting a NTFS partition into my Ubuntu partition. I am using Ubuntu 9.04, and Thinkpad T400. here is what the log says: http://pastie.org/721777 [15:16] seidos, you should get automatic updates if you filed the bug yourself [15:16] jadakren, so, what do I do next? [15:17] my iwl3945 doesnt load up every time i boot my system.Its only sometimes that my wlan device runs.mine is 8.10 [15:17] Doonz: http://carltonbale.com/how-to-break-the-2tb-2-terabyte-file-system-limit [15:17] bibekp, reinstall ntfs-3g [15:17] donita_: yes, we will try to reinstall grub [15:17] Is there maybe some sort of apt-get flags I can pass to make it for sure install all the files? [15:17] bibekp, purge it first [15:17] deserteagle, ok === morticia__ is now known as morticia [15:17] I'm surprised there would even be a limit in place [15:17] Well, a 2TB limit anyway [15:18] What of the Server folk running Ubuntu; that can't be too convenient. [15:18] reinstall grub, but I think grub is doing all right.... because windows 7 was the last OS I installed, maybe that's why grub didn't notice it? [15:18] !grub | donita [15:18] donita: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[15:21] deserteagle.... ahmmmm........ let me think [15:21] Can I have both? [15:21] hey everyone, im trying to debug my laptop suspend issue. when i close the lid i get a weird sound. i did have it working prior to writing my own .xinitc file, i think i might have left something out of it to ensure the suspend to work [15:21] no [15:21] donita_: the reason you can't see the grub menu because windows 7 overwrites it..you should have installed win 7 first [15:21] deserteagle, i still get the same error [15:22] bibekp, hmm... [15:22] I know I should have installed win 7 first.......... but I would like to know the alternative way of post installed fix [15:22] yes there is [15:22] Brainstormers please vote http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22712/ [15:22] deserteagle, what might be the problem ? [15:22] donita_, noone here is going to step you through it, though [15:22] I know you guys can fix this problem [15:22] donita_: did you not see the links i just posted to you that show you the answer? [15:22] Just give me an instruction [15:22] i could if i wanted to spend the next 20349720938 hours [15:22] hey [15:22] donita_, it was ALREADY given to you [15:23] exit [15:23] donita_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [15:23] jadakren.... where?

[15:26] thank you all, ubottu, deserteagle and all. So... I could fix it up by myself if I look up the link again? [15:26] nytek_, ideally, you should never always have to use sudo persistently - and if you are - then you are doing something wrong. [15:26] donita_, yes [15:26] nytek_: first thing you determine is if the launcher/updater has changed the permissions on the folder. [15:27] I mean, the MENU is all right now, just lack of win 7, you guys know what I mean? [15:27] nytek_, what was your issue? [15:27] nytek_: then you have them run through the WoW page on help.ubuntu.com [15:27] jadakren: i actually tend to use it a lot when editing root files [15:27] hey everyone, im trying to debug my laptop suspend issue. when i close the lid i get a weird sound. i did have it working prior to writing my own .xinitc file, i think i might have left something out of it to ensure the suspend to work [15:27] sorry for the repost :) [15:28] donita_, at this point, I am going to assume you like yanking people's chains [15:28] donita_ type sudo update-grub [15:28] See if anything helps there [15:28] but thats the issue [15:28] hi, why doesn't Ubuntu come with selinux by default, if it is really secure linux?

[15:32] I hope I did do anythig wrong [15:32] hello [15:32] donita_, nah, just don't paste multiple lines in here at once [15:33] Would you guys wait here? I'm gonna reboot to see if that "su do updat-grub" work? (I wish someone teach me what's this mean?) [15:33] hi. i just upgraded to 9.10. i start rhythmbox, and it cant find any of my mp3s on my network share. funny thing is, i was able to play any of my mp3s with rhythmbox, while watching it remove one-by-one of my songs from the "inventory", everytime it hit one of the songs i was just playing it stopped playback, continued with the next one until this was gone, too etc. any solution to this? [15:33] rarcrack [15:33] donita_, update-grub reinstalls grub into the MBR (master boot record). [15:33] you know, I love Ubuntu better than Mint, mint is just copying Ubuntu... [15:33] what's the command for mounting my Windows partition so that I can access its files/folders through the terminal? is that possible? [15:34] donita_, sudo means "SUperuser DO" [15:34] when i ssh to the machine it seems it has no history buffer or something, i can't use arrow to get commands or anything like ctrl+ R [15:34] !ntfs [15:34] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [15:34] donita_, it's all in the eye of the beholder, but reboot and see if that works for you. [15:34] I've got a new ubuntu server up, but its networking keeps going screwy on me: Every so often the IP address shown by ifconfig gets changed and is different that the one in /etc/networking/interfaces. [15:34] ares623, the command is called mount. type man mount to find out more [15:35] saturdayplace: you did specify static in /etc/networking/interfaces right? [15:35] trijntje, yes i know about mount.. but what do I mount? [15:35] ares623, /dev/sda* where * is the partition number of your ntfs disk [15:35] ibuclaw.... can I ask you something? I partitions the HDD into 3 Primary +1 extendend to avold Evil windows 7 at add another partition, but it did some trick to add a 1MB space which is unallocated area, what's that space for? [15:35] ares623, like mount /dev/sda2 /mnt to mount sda2 partition at /mnt [15:36] dear friends i am new to ubuntu ,this is my very 1st server installtion [15:36] how do login to system and how do login with root [15:36] ok, I'll be back soon, give me 3 mins, I am going to reboot now [15:36] saturdayplace: can you post your /etc/networking/interfaces ?? maybe is the dhcp server ? === Guest11270 is now known as Sharker [15:36] wish me luck [15:36] !root | sporedi [15:36] sporedi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:36] donita_: you do not login with root you use sudo [15:37] sporedi: log in with the username you gave during install. use sudo for admin tasks [15:37] trijntje, thanks. is there a way to find out what the * in sda* is? [15:37] ares623, sudo fdisk -l [15:38] bootable partition? :S [15:38] m4rtin: here's my /etc/network/interfaces: http://dpaste.com/127508/ [15:38] at # i suppose to use sudo and package name to install [15:38] how do get gui [15:38] also erUSUL: http://dpaste.com/127508/ [15:38] sporedi: sudo apt-get install gnome === wolf is now known as Guest32632 [15:38] not sure if you need to configure x to autostart though. but when installed run startx [15:39] Spixx: does startx actually still work ? i always use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [15:40] jadakren, yes [15:40] saturdayplace: yes, that does look correct... have you restarted networking since making the changes? [15:40] ah, might be :P they changed that in 9.04 I think [15:40] trijntje, thanks! got it. [15:40] saturdayplace: is --> netmask 255.255.255.0 || but anyway i do not see why this could cause the interface to change ip by itself ...

[15:52] itsaserver no X [15:52] saturdayplace: hmmm, I'm not sure; I'd recommend trying to find when it happens (how long after interface comes up) and see if you can find a trigger (or a log entry near that time) [15:52] For a creative xifi do i need the creative drivers? [15:52] m4rtin: thanks. [15:52] will do [15:53] Does that mean the "first sector" is on windows 7 area???

I am trying to find out how to get Metacity to auto load on the default session 'GNOME' without having to use the terminal [15:59] jongbergs and ibuclaw, nope! you don't get what I asked, I partition the HDD in purpose to avoid Windows 7 to add another partition which is normally 100MB itself(Primary I think) [15:59] hi! i have a .toc file with lots of .wav and want to write it on a CD but on .mp3 format. how do i do it? [16:00] how do i check the usbpermissions ? [16:00] donita, oh, that must be the system folder for self recovery. [16:00] dassouki: lsusb -l [16:00] so I tried to partition the HDD first by making them 3 Primary + 1 Extended, so that windows 7 won't be able to ADD MORE stupid partition which could limit my whole space [16:00] mahngiel: thanks [16:00] Need some help making to work a serial mouse on ubuntu 9.10 [16:00] heyoh [16:00] dassouki: np [16:00] jongbergs, I already have many virtual machines from vmware. [16:00] may some one help me? [16:00] Lucho_: depends on your issue :) [16:01] mahngiel: no such thing as -l ... -v perhaps ? [16:01] Lucho_: do you mean ps2? [16:01] I can't take it anymore - Why can Ubuntu only print at 1 page per 20 minutes?? [16:01] mahngiel it is simple, I can not find the xorg.conf archive [16:01] donita, tbh, the windows installer works for the best intent of Windows - and no other system. [16:01] bdfoster_iPhone_ no, serial mouse [16:01] dassouki: -l as in lowercase L [16:01] jongbergs and ibuclaw, so I can decide later to change my free space in Extended Partition, do you get me? [16:02] Lucho_: i don't know anything about that, sorry [16:02] mahngiel thanks [16:02] donita, you can freely extend/truncate the extended partition - yes. [16:02] Everytime i want to print something, I have to go to sleep and wait till morning before the 10-15 pages print [16:02] mahngiel: is the key in gconf /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager set to metacity? [16:02] donita, and you can also create a (supposedly) unlimited number of partitions within that extended partition. [16:03] Because old msdos partition can only accept 3 Primary + 1 Extended + unlimit Logic Partition OR 4 Primary Partitions [16:03] donita: absolutely, use gparted to do that for you [16:03] Logical Partition [16:03] please, tell me about software updates in ubuntu [16:03] between releases [16:03] trism: i'll look and find out. should i open it with gedit or use another app? [16:03] mahngiel: gconf-editor [16:04] untitled, you mean system upgrades? === ppine|ZzZzzz is now known as ppine [16:04] where can I upload my pics so I can ask question?

AND the content of the links? please help [16:05] donita: you can use http://imagebin.ca [16:05] trism: thank you. i changed the value to metacity instead of e16. but what bothers me is that NO win mgr started up on boot [16:06] untitled, all software for ubuntu is maintained in repositories. These repositories remain relatively stable - only updates for security or major bugs are updated/released. === bibekpaudel_ is now known as bibekp [16:06] donita: it's basically the counterpart with pastebin for posting text files [16:06] mahngiel: strange, hopefully that fixes it [16:06] hi! i have a .toc file with lots of .wav and want to write it on a CD but on .mp3 format. how do i do it? [16:06] trism: i'll relog and let you know. [16:06] How do i format a drive with ext3 using 4Kib block sizes? [16:06] ibuclaw: oh, ok, and they update packages only when new release comes out? [16:06] Choose a plugin for media type application /x-shockwave-flash : there are 3 options, which should I choose? [16:06] so uncool :) [16:06] untitled, this means that once ubuntu has been released, the version numbers of the software generally stay the same.

I cannot even add them to the playlist [16:07] untitled, if a new release comes out - it is rare to see it appear in the main repositories. [16:07] trism: thank you very much. you don't know the hell that caused me yesterday [16:07] donita: do you care about not using proprietary, closed source software? [16:07] untitled, we had this with Firefox a while back ... 3.5 was out but everyone was still on 3.1 [16:08] jongbergs.. which one?

[16:08] law things or...? [16:08] donita: adobe's flash player is proprietary and closed source. That means only adobe can develop it and fix bugs [16:09] untitled, if a new software release has been made upstream - if you want it on your system, you either have to install a ppa maintained package - or wait until the next release of Ubuntu. [16:09] ibuclaw: you know some deb-based distro with gentoo-like updates? where you can update a package as soon as it comes out [16:09] donita, nothing will happen [16:09] jrib..... I see, so you'd suggest that I choose the other 2? [16:09] untitled, Ubuntu is not a rolling release distribution [16:09] donita: no, I'd suggest you choose 1) unless you care about that [16:09] i got that [16:09] is anyone here that can help me with a weird network bandwidth problem? ubuntu is going quite slow and none of the things have read on the internet describe or fix my problem... [16:10] cryptk: have you updated recently?

[16:10] untitled, if a package is available on the official site of the software (ie: virtual box) then by all means use that instead of the ppa [16:10] mahngiel, yes, all of ym packages are up to date [16:10] hi, i have installed karmic koala, but in the boot shows this error: ubuntu starting init crypto disks [16:10] How do i copy a file from a local place to a server place?

See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [16:18] is anyone here that can help me with a weird network bandwidth problem? Ubuntu is going quite slow and none of the things have read on the Internet describe or fix my problem... I am running Karmic [16:18] bibekp: try this instead: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/temp [16:18] !gimp | donita [16:18] donita: please see above [16:19] bibekp ubottu, ok.. I found it [16:19] Brainstormers please vote http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22712/ [16:19] jrib: i'm accessing a dongle [16:19] W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock ----------(next line)---E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/-----(last line)-----E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [16:19] jongbergs, same error [16:19] dassouki: that's fine [16:19] bibekp, aptitude search ntfs -> ntfsprogs -> ntfsfix [16:20] dassouki: usually it just sets ownership to the current user when you plug it in, but if you are having issues just setup fstab [16:20] please tell me how to shrink the pic, I am now in ImageShack [16:20] when i right-click on a pendrive in karmic i get three options unmount eject safely remove what does this mean [16:20] nibbler, can't find ntfsfix. [16:20] nibbler, but i can mount other partitions well (ntfs) [16:20] Save as ... or??? [16:20] bibekp, its in the ntfsprogs package [16:20] donita, scale the image to a lower resolution [16:21] nibbler, ntfsprogs is installed [16:21] nibbler, i have used ntfsfix command but it segfaults too [16:21] bibekp, then try to fix it with a windows-boot/rescue cd or smth. i'd say its heavily damaged === lnx^afm is now known as luNix [16:21] how can i use ubuntu with my vt-220? is support for serial terminals compiled in by default? [16:21] nibbler, it says: Dec 1 22:06:24 yantra kernel: [67417.797901] ntfsfix[19297]: segfault at bf40afd0 ip b7db7a4c sp bf40afd4 error 6 in libc-2.9.so[b7d46000+15c000] [16:22] jrib: http://pastie.org/721922 [16:22] has the weather functionality of the Clock applet stop working for others? [16:22] nibbler, i dont have windows in my computer. what might have caused the damage? or is it a bug in ntfs-3g ? my computer is a new thinkpad T400 [16:22] bibekp: is /dev/sda2 really an nfts partition? [16:22] jongbergs, yes it is. i have accessed many times before [16:22] dassouki: I presume sda is not your flash drive [16:22] bibekp, if its new, then mkfs.ext4 the partition ;-) [16:23] jrib: it's a flash drive, it's a dongle chip [16:23] nibbler, i said the computer is new [16:23] bowenl2: it should be enabled by default, yes. [16:23] dassouki: but it isn't sda, correct? [16:23] bowenl2: btw, where did you find a vt220? :-) [16:23] jrib: correct [16:23] closet [16:23] dassouki: I guess my question is, why did you pastebin that? [16:23] is this just something i edit in my grub.conf? or do i have to do something else? [16:24] bibekp: can you post the output of fdisk -l [16:24] jongbergs, nibbler, should i or should not i carry my notebook while on SLEEP in ubuntu 9.04. If anything, the only reason i think the partition would be damaged is because i used to carry my laptop in sleep mode and i've heard problems with linux sleep and hibernate. else, the other reason i can think is a bug in ntfs-3g [16:24] bibekp, ntfs is a ms fs, which specs were never released. so all drivers are reverse engeneered etc. if it gets broken and linuxtools cant help you, your last chance is the tools of ms (chkdisk etc) [16:24] jrib: you asked what file system i was using [16:24] jongbergs, sure. in pastebin or here ? [16:24] bowenl2: have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto [16:24] bibekp: pastebin [16:25] bibekp, no, sleep mode is like switch-off harddisk-wise [16:25] dassouki: on the dongle [16:25] nibbler, does it work fine in ubuntu 9.04? [16:25] nibbler, should i be worrying about carrying my laptop in sleep mode or not ? [16:25] hi, how do I refresh the console after doing a chenge in console-setup ? I mean, how do I actually see the changes in the console without rebooting ? [16:25] *change [16:25] bibekp, it shuold work fine in 9.04. dont worry, carry it in sleep-mode (harddisk is spun down then) [16:26] jrib: i doubt there is a file system [16:26] harovali1, what change did you make? [16:26] bibekp, also, if you dont have windows, why do u use ntfs? [16:26] nibbler, cool [16:26] dassouki: what do you mean by usb dongle? [16:26] Is there a way to disable Non-eXecutable (NX) memory protection? [16:26] ibuclaw: the console font, and the console font size === landon_ is now known as Antagonist === eguest039_ is now known as eguest039 [16:26] sipior: on this line, "/etc/init/ttyS0.conf" => should that be init.d instead of init? [16:26] harovali1, in gnome-terminal - or the system tty? [16:26] ibuclaw: system tty [16:26] nibbler, ok, thats a long story now. my computer came with windows, but i corrupted while installing linux (resized and moved partitions from a live CD, i didnt know windows couldnt tolerate that) [16:26] okay!! here!! http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/7051/dsc02724small.jpg [16:27] nibbler, windows partitions are there, but they dont boot [16:27] bowenl2: nope. [16:27] a little harsh to use scale [16:27] nibbler, jongbergs its a pity that a fine machine like thinkpad has to be shipped with windows (that too Vista) [16:27] dassouki: I saw you say "how can I check for a usb drive permissions" so I presumed it was something similar to a flash drive. Now I think you mean something else [16:27] here are my 2 questions about the link [16:28] jrib: it's a chip to access software. i use it with virtualbox .. but with 9.10, all my permissions to usb drives have moved from user_name to root [16:28] harovali1, I think it is: sudo service console-setup restart [16:28] bibekp, if you dont use windows, i'd suggest you to move all data to linux partitions and reformat the then unused ntfs to some linux fs aswell. just to avoid your current problem in the future [16:28] nibbler, jongbergs here it is: http://pastebin.org/59267 [16:28] bowenl2: no. init is the new stuff where some configs are at. [16:28] jrib: my message said how can i change .. not check [16:28] nibbler, i'd move all data only if i could access it :) [16:28] dassouki: correct [16:28] Hey everybody === root is now known as Esya [16:28] dassouki: anyway, this is something that gets mounted with data on it, right? [16:29] nibbler, the reason i am looking forward to install windows again in this machine is : battery performance in linux is far below par (only 2.5 hours) while in windows it gives me about 9 hours [16:29] jrib: [16:29] 1. I once accidentally click the wrong option (recovery one) then everything is in mess, I couldn't boot up anymore. 2. What does the (Loader ) mean??? [16:29] jrib: no [16:29] Uh... I need some help configuring my vpn :S. [16:29] bibekp, sorry, i have no further help to offer to you.... if the tools dont work, i'm lost. [16:29] i just want to change my permissions on my usb devices from root to my name [16:29] Dr_Willis: when I do that it says "start: Unknown job: ttyS0" [16:29] Did someone test pptp ? [16:29] or allow my user to conenct to usb [16:29] nibbler, i live in a place where there are more than 10 hours of powercut in dry season [16:29] dassouki: your question makes no sense to me [16:29] nibbler, hmm. do you know any thinkpad+linux support IRC channels ? [16:29] I have a dedicated server and I'd like to use it as a vpn server [16:29] bibekp, you use cpu governor and this disk-spindown thing? [16:30] nibbler, no. i havent heard of them. what are they? [16:30] hi guys [16:30] jrib: here's an ls -l on a usb device crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 130 2009-11-30 16:29 /dev/bus/usb/002/003 [16:30] sipior: any idea why start says unknown job: ttyS0 when i follow those instructions? [16:30] bibekp: it appears ok based on the structure of the partitions, would you care booting from the live cd of ubuntu 9.10 and try mounting your ntfs partitions there? [16:30] Hmm... If I give you my vpn server's adress, could at least someone tell me if it does respond ? [16:30] So how do I get ssh working on ubunut? Im registered at dyndns.org, I set up ddclient, I have sshd: ALL in my hosts.allow file. I Also have to port forwarded to my computer. Why can't I get it working? [16:30] bowenl2: no idea what you are trying to do. the /etc/init directory has the files for what upstart starts up. [16:30] dassouki: hal is responsible for that. You can read about hal fdi files and writing udev permissions I guess [16:30] jongbergs, i have tried that already. doesnt work [16:31] jongbergs, i cant format that partition as well (in present condition) [16:31] ibuclaw: thanks [16:31] bibekp, the one makes sure your cpu is not running full speed when its idle anyway, and the otherone i forgotabout the name, changes the diskscheduler, so that it does not keep the disk running all the time. should be findable by looking for linux+laptop etc [16:31] Okayyyy... [16:31] First, I thought sda1 is the first hard drive (because I partition HDD it first with FAT32 to make sure the windows 7 would use it so it would keep quiet not asking me to be the first drive) but now I think the first drive doesn't really mean the first sector which BIOS will looking for to read, am I right? [16:31] jrib: thanks [16:31] harovali1, I take it that it worked then? [16:31] nibbler, ok. cpu governor and disk-spindown? thanks [16:31] if so, I'll make a note of it ;) [16:32] bowenl2: you're running karmic, or? [16:32] bibekp:initially reported time will not be accurate in linux but as time goes ot will become accurate but actual time will be the same for both linux and windows you can check it [16:32] ibuclaw: no, I was just thanking you :-) You know, it seems I'm having trouble in setting the console size font... [16:32] so.... in order, even if I partition the HDD with 1/4 area to be FAT32, it is not a guarantee the first partition will be the truly the FIRST driver which BIOS will looking for, am I right? [16:32] sipior:jaunty [16:32] bibekp: how about sda3, same problem? [16:32] bhuvi, but my computer shuts down after the said time passes :) [16:33] oh whoops! wrong computer haha [16:33] bhuvi, 2.5 hours is no comparision with 9 hours even by reporting faults :) [16:33] jongbergs, no problems with sda1 and 3 [16:34] I have a macbook (2,1) core 2 duo. When I upgraded to 9.10 it broke my brightness control. My brightness icon in the dock has a red "x" through it indicating it is disabled. how can I fix this? I feel like it is a driver issue, as comiz is also broken and my video feels a bit laggy (meaning those drivers may have stopped working as well). [16:34] can someone help me. i have a problem playing videos in Open Office 3.1? [16:34] Is there a way to assign multiple keybindings to a command in the gconf-editor? [16:34] I mean, the 3 OSs have their boot loaders, but what is the crucial file placed to trickle the boot loaders? Where is it??? How do I know where the First drive is after I partition 4 areas. [16:34] hey, does anyone know of a solution on how to manage active directory from a ubuntu machine? [16:34] bibekp: then there is nothing wrong with nfts utils that comes with ubuntu.. [16:35] bibekp, i think you try installing powertop and check where your problem lies [16:35] kubanc, I had no idea you could play videos in OO. Do you mean embedded stuff in the presentation? [16:35] bibekp: the problem boils down on that particular partition [16:35] donita, what do you mean? [16:35] Anyone would like to teach me that? [16:35] Hi. Anyone here use dvd::rip? I'd like to know which VideoCodec & VideoCodec-QuantType should be used if the (eventual) target is to burn to a standalone DVD disk ... unclear 2 me. [16:35] frikker, yes i would like to put video in presentation (openOffice impress) [16:35] So nobody can help me about a vpn server ? [16:35] I mean, you guys say every OS has its own boot loader, right? [16:35] harovali1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [16:35] harovali1, source here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4943115&postcount=7 [16:36] jongbergs, ok. i will try to find a similar computer, put the hard disk there and try to repair it from windows. what do you say? [16:36] donita: try gpated to give you a graphical view [16:36] ibuclaw: thanks again [16:36] donita: i mean gparted [16:36] donita in general no [16:36] Does someone know a SIMPLE WAY to have a VPN server running on my dedicated server ? [16:36] donita: you probably use GRUB which can boot most OSs [16:37] so I became unable to see my Menu at first is because windows 7 wrote over my Ubuntu boot-related files, so... this small sector must be very important, I want to know where is it? [16:37] bhuvi, i have powertop installed. how do i detect a problem? [16:37] donita, are you asking about how to write a boot loader? [16:37] donita or lilo [16:37] I want to install the GTK engine Clearlooks, there is one in the repos, but its marked as "virtual" and I cannot install it - whats this?! [16:37] bibekp: that could be a straight forward approach..maybe windows chkdsk can help.. [16:37] hello [16:37] donita, look into booting a live CD (ubuntu) and re-installing GRUB [16:37] donita old problem [16:37] jongbergs, ok, that is what i've been thinking of. but i thought of asking here first [16:37] Esya: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN, to start [16:37] donita i have different way of restoring grub [16:37] ManDay, GTK Clearlooks is provided by another package [16:37] sipior: Already read that [16:37] jongbergs, do you know any linux+thinkpad support channels on IRC ? [16:37] sipior: The problem is that I got a pptpd server runinng on my dedicated server [16:38] ibuclaw, so why is it listed in aptitude then? whats that for? [16:38] sipior: But it does not respond and uh, I don't really know how to configure remoteip and localip [16:38] Esya: another option: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN [16:38] has anyone used cairo dock on 9.10 and had any luck? it was crashing my netbook... [16:38] nope, I didn't want to learn how to write a boot loader, I just want to know, where is the boot sector? in my case, 4 partitions, where is it? [16:38] hey, does anyone know of a solution on how to manage active directory from a ubuntu machine? [16:38] hello guys [16:38] bibekp: no idea about it..but you may try searching lenovo channel instead [16:38] donita: in the mbr (master boot record) [16:38] sipI'm gonna look [16:38] bhuvi, is it ok if i provide you with the output of powertop command ? [16:39] phil__, use remote desktop [16:39] bibekp, if you run powertop it will tell which process prevents cpu from idling and at which power states your cpu lies in etc [16:39] iam new user of ubuntu 9.10 i need to drive twinhan1027 sattlaite card i tried many way to drive this but not work [16:39] ManDay, sometimes several packages have the exact same files... to prevent a conflict - we have "virtual" packages that act as a master package. [16:39] bhuvi, what do i make out of those information? how do i make my battery work longer? [16:39] erUSUL, yes, and where is the MBR placed? [16:39] please for your help [16:39] hello, please i need help.. how can I see permissions from the terminal? [16:39] madcheeze_: it works okay for me, do you have 3d accel drivers enabled for your video card? [16:39] subichan: ls -l [16:39] donita: first 512 bytes of the hard disk [16:39] Esya: also: http://piano.rcas.sinica.edu.tw/thhsieh/pptpd [16:39] Anybody has the inspiron 13z? I've strange problem with the video driver, the video stop working after switch tu virtal console [16:39] bibekp, yes you can post it i will try to examine it [16:40] first 512bytes of the hard disk, all right, but you know, GParted's graphic isn't correct [16:40] donita mbr is the first sector of your hard drive [16:40] seems to be a proble of refresh [16:40] MikeChelen: thanks man [16:40] my secndary hard drive died someone has an extra one for sale ? =P [16:40] donita: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record [16:40] donita its not a file [16:40] sipior: Hmmm Okay [16:40] the leftest partition isn't always the first sector placed, you guys know about this???? [16:40] MikeChelen, i dont know... need to investigate it... my card is an ati... and i need to finish the install [16:40] Thanks [16:40] madcheeze_: yeah but at work, therefore a bunch of linux pessimists [16:40] donita: the mbr is no t showed in gparted graphic [16:40] !who | donita [16:40] donita: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:40] jongbergs, nibbler bhuvi surprise no 2: about a month back, linux reported my battery time (fully charged) as 4.5 hours. suddenly, it started reporting 2.5 hours. and now, each week (or a fortnight), i can see a decrease in reported time. it is 2 hours 20 minutes these days. going by this progression. my computer wil be useless in about a year :) [16:40] ibuclaw, ah [16:40] thanks [16:40] ManDay, for example: xsplash-artwork is a virtual package - and it's "child" packages (that provide it) are ubuntu-xsplash-artwork and sability-xsplash-artwork. [16:41] ManDay, but other packages don't depend on the child package - instead they depend on the master. [16:41] any help [16:41] madcheeze_: you know the old, linux isn't ready for the pro workplace crap [16:41] bibekp, atleast it will give some suggestions to reduce power consumption [16:41] if that makes sense... [16:41] please [16:41] bibekp: sounds strange.. [16:41] bhuvi, i am pasting it, please wait. [16:41] Xubuntu rocks! [16:41] phil__, if you are looking for an mmc snap in, i dont know of one.. [16:41] ubottu, I was speaking to all of you..... may I??? [16:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:41] donita partition is not covering mbr. mbr is for the computer to know how to boot [16:41] thanks ibuclaw [16:41] madcheeze_: finish the install? [16:41] jrib: i'm not sure what to do and a bit confused [16:41] jongbergs, i am a full-time user. but ever since i switched to a laptop, it is giving me nightmares [16:41] !ati | madcheeze_ [16:41] madcheeze_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:42] can anyone tell me what package enables fancy mouse gestures for mousepads? [16:42] yes, my question is, where is this MBR??? [16:42] I have a weird issue with Ubuntu Enterprise Server 9.10. I was testing my server to see how it would react after losing power. Basically making sure that it would automatically reboot and come back up if it were to lose power. After I pulled the power it restarted and came back online as one would expect. However, now after about 5 mins it drops its internet connection and will not pick it back up unless I restart the machine. A [16:42] and the problem is, there are no answers for such questions anywhere jongbergs [16:42] (the apple-like things) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:42] donita by installing windows 7 you overwrited this informatien and now only windows is booting [16:42] Is it now at Ubuntu's partition or Windows 7's partitions? or Mint's Partition? [16:42] donita: alrady told you *exactly* where it is [16:42] Where is this MBR now??? [16:43] bhuvi, here it is: http://pastebin.org/59274 [16:43] ManDay, not too sure, but you could try: apt-cache search mouse gestures [16:43] ManDay, to query the packages in the repository [16:43] donita you need to do grub reinstallation after fu** windows installation. [16:43] madcheeze_: although nmap and nbtscan can do most of what I need, they would frown [16:43] ManDay, only seems to be a Firefox addon [16:43] donita: the mbr does not move it is allways where i told you; are you listening to what i say??? [16:43] Donita:samething happened to me select the same i selected same partition as windows and now it works 2nds install [16:43] erUSUL... yes yes, thank you [16:43] bhuvi, another screenshot: http://pastebin.org/59275 [16:44] donita it's where it was, but after windows installation it's different now [16:44] donita you have to restore grub's information in mbr. mbr is a place on a hard drive. it's allways there [16:44] donita: the 'mbr' is the master boot record. the first few bytes of the hard drive that the bios loads/runs to determine what to boot next. [16:44] przemo_one and MaXlMus and all others... yes please explain it to me [16:44] donita: the mbr can contain grub or the windows boot loader. windows overwrittes the mbr everytime you install it. so does ubuntu unless told otherwise in advanced options [16:45] donita use youre imagination now [16:45] ibuclaw, im not talkign about firefox mouse gestures. im talking about these apple-gestures (two fingers scroll etc) [16:45] donita after bios screen computer must know what to do next right?? [16:45] how to get a list of channels on irc? [16:45] I just wanna know, what are those proccess doing since I don't know what I did, I just know it is back to normal, but I want to know why. [16:45] i'm using ubuntu 9.10, editra gives me an "ImportError: No module named Editra.launcher" error [16:45] donita so it checks the mbr what to do what to execute [16:45] ManDay, oh, I'm pretty sure I saw a two finger scroll option in the Gnome Mouse preferences [16:45] btw: do I need to install a separate package besides compiz and metacity-common to make gnome remember the maximized state of a window after it got closed? [16:45] exploreralex: /msg alis help list more help for that available in #freenode [16:45] exploreralex: /list but you do not want to do that on a large network such as freenode [16:45] ManDay, System->Preferences->Mouse [16:45] how do i ask for help here? [16:46] !ask | inquizikiller [16:46] inquizikiller: you just did it [16:46] inquizikiller: 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. :-) [16:46] donita mbr is the first place to check whats next [16:46] inquizikiller: just ask the question [16:46] thanks [16:46] exploreralex: hi :D [16:46] hey is there a way to keep the icons on top from moving when the screen resizes for an application? [16:46] donita when you install linux it's placing grub or lilo [16:46] donita linux loaders [16:46] racecar56: i was just gonna say hi [16:46] help [16:46] exploreralex: stole the words right from your keyboard xD [16:46] Are there any USB or Express Card HDMI out adapters that I can use to hook my laptop to my TV for boxee? [16:46] bibekp, im looking into it [16:47] The big problem is that don' depends on the driver nv or nvidia, any ideas? [16:47] donita windows is not respecting other systems, so after installing that it sets mbr to run only itself [16:47] i need info for 9.10 compatibility rate on packardbell laptop [16:47] racecar56: ohhh the "h" and "i" just went missing!! [16:47] lolz [16:47] exploreralex: heehee! [16:47] please, how can I operate on root directories with root permission? cause i got the admin pass but i can't touch some files using the gui [16:47] Dr_Willis and erUSUL and przemo_one, please go on, I'm listening [16:47] donita so you need to restore grub - linux loader so menu will apear again [16:47] i have another question too: using madwifi and fglrx drivers gives me a lot of problems. i have deactivated them. but does anybody know why such problems? i use thinkpad t400 (64-bit) with ubuntu 9.04 x86 version. do i have to install the correct version (processor wise)? i have issues with my battery too.

[16:59] Tiders-: install both, try both. if you want, of course. [16:59] run lspci in your terminal [16:59] donita its not a command for your ubuntu. you need to get seperate distribution calld system rescue cd and boot from that cd [16:59] kielanmatt_: set the cpufreq governor to performance that runs the cpu at full speed allways [16:59] no [16:59] przemo_one, why does linux suck with ATI ? madcheeze_ [16:59] * exploreralex racecar56 is the best help i've got yet on IRC, long live racecar56 [16:59] i got it overclocked [16:59] sipior, Do you use the stable?

[17:00] cpufreq etc. [17:00] how do i fix ubuntu if it is Read-only file system [17:00] kielanmatt_, why ? [17:00] lolz [17:00] How can i give admin priviliges back to some user through terminal? i messed up my own account and id like the privileges back :( [17:00] and it reported overclocked frequency [17:00] kielanmatt_: reinstall the kernel and related packages [17:00] I'm sure I will install many PCs to Ubuntu, so I may encountered the same problem, I just hope I could understand them all so I can help others too [17:00] erUSUL [17:00] i cant reinstall [17:01] i want 9.10 [17:01] with [17:01] i dont want the cpu manager back === kisuke is now known as keastes [17:01] donita and find out where is yours linux system partition it can be different than sda1 [17:01] the thing is that i dont have the packages [17:01] racecar56: i asked you if kde is better than gnome? [17:01] subichan, well, you can change the location of your cgi-bin to /var/www/html/cgi-bin/ if you like - but it's probably simpler to use the default directory and place your script in there [17:01] but still the governor runs somehow [17:01] exploreralex: it depends on what you want.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:01] ok [17:02] bibekp, from what you have posted it seems your hybserv software consumes more of your cpu [17:02] kielanmatt_: becouse that's a kernel sriver like the one that controls your hard disk [17:02] unop: yeah indeed it is but then what would the url become?? /cgi-bin/script.pl ? [17:02] racecar56: what's the difference? i've heard only the desktop looks better in kde? [17:02] exploreralex: if you like awesome insane desktop FX, and don't really mind crashyness (it's getting less crashier as the versions go by) then you'll like KDE4 [17:02] kielanmatt_: you need the cpufreq tools to change the governor to performance [17:02] exploreralex: it looks much better in KDE4, if you like FX [17:02] bhuvi, i only installed a few days back. you mean my battery will perform well if i uninstall it ? [17:02] subichan, yea. http://yourhost/cgi-bin/script.pl [17:02] kielanmatt_: get rid of what? [17:02] I'm having a strange network interface problem. The eth0 gets acknowledged as r8169. Then, a DSL conection is established though it. So far , so well. Every 8 minutes or so "r8169: eth0: link down" "r8169: eth0: link up" appear in dmesg. If that pair of messages appear more than 4 times, then the DSL is hung with the following message logged to /var/log/messages " pppd[891]: No response to 4 echo-requests" "pppd[891]: Ser [17:03] donita have fun i must go for a while [17:03] racecar56: i need to reinstall linux in a kde version? or can i convert gnome to kde? [17:03] exploreralex: i personally like GNOME because my comp runs uber fast (and to think, i have a Xeon 3200 of some sort) [17:03] exploreralex: oh, no! [17:03] bibekp, can you unplug the charger and report the powertop output only then the amount of power consumed will be available [17:03] exploreralex: you do NOT need to re-install!

[17:04] exploreralex: GNOME/KDE have nothing whatsoever to do with the Linux OS itself, so you needn't re-installation [17:04] bhuvi, unplug the charger for how long? [17:04] exploreralex, you can install KDE besides Gnome [17:04] przemo_one!! thank you [17:04] i have another question too: using madwifi and fglrx drivers gives me a lot of problems. i have deactivated them. but does anybody know why such problems? i use thinkpad t400 (64-bit) with ubuntu 9.04 x86 version. do i have to install the correct version (processor wise)? i have issues with my battery too. [17:04] exploreralex: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [17:04] exploreralex: sudo apt-get install kde #problem solved [17:04] everytime I get an email evolution automatically sends a message to the ubuntu notification system, which creates a small pop-up "you have a new email" [17:04] exploreralex: OR sudo apt-get install gnome #problem solved [17:04] how do i do that? [17:04] I am reading the help.ubuntu.com/community/recoveryingubuntuAfterInstallingWindows [17:04] exploreralex: open a terminal [17:04] exploreralex: you using GNOME now? [17:04] I just want to remember them [17:04] yes [17:04] how can I send my own messages to the notification system? for example I want to be warned when a compile porcess is finished [17:04] exploreralex: and you want KDE4? [17:04] exploreralex: i just told you with help of ubottu [17:04] subichan, it seems you have placed all your content in /var/www/html/ - why not just have it all in /var/www/ ?? [17:05] bibekp, just for the acpi power usage estimate to become available [17:05] It would be more easy if I knew those commands mean [17:05] which version is faster? [17:05] mr_daniel: install libnotify-bin, and use notify-send [17:05] exploreralex: 3 but it's removed from ubuntu 8.10+ [17:05] explorealex: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop". I personally don't recommend KDE, it's kind of a buggy. If you need a fast system use GNOME or XFCE [17:05] exploreralex: install kubuntu-desktop package then fllow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE [17:05] i'm using 9.04 [17:05] what package do I install to get java in firefox? [17:05] bhuvi, if you tell me how long i unplug the charger before posting powertop results, it would be easier for me (so that you wont have to ask for another report later) :) [17:05] if I knew the meaning of these commands... I am a slow learner [17:05] exploreralex: ok well you will not get KDE3. [17:05] CarlFK: Install "sun-java6-plugin" [17:05] CarlFK, sun-java6-jre [17:05] exploreralex: you can't. [17:05] especially for computer [17:06] exploreralex: just run this command in the terminal "sudo apt-get install kde" [17:06] hmm [17:06] unop: i stepped up on an already existing admin position.. anyway people don't really have to type all that, they just type the host and then it's redirected to myhost/html/ somehow.. and i don't have a clue as to how i could change that, as i'm not really acquainted with linux [17:06] theadmin: unop: thanks. guessing sun-java6-plugin will get me jre too. [17:06] if its buggy as theadmin says i'll stick to gnome [17:06] CarlFK, yea, should do [17:06] CarlFK, and vice-versa [17:06] bibekp, just for a minute or so,the time you have your powertop running [17:06] CarlFK: it will. [17:06] exploreralex: Well, last one I used was 4.2, but it was buggy and slow [17:07] cool, notify-send works, thanks trism [17:07] doita command "sysrescuecd" is a kernel its you boot nad "root=/dev..." is the parameter, so it knows what to do [17:07] bhuvi, oh, ok. i will have to repeat again. i unplugged, and started powertop. [17:07] theadmin: thanks, will stick to your advice [17:07] subichan, well, it's in the config file for this particular site .. look in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ [17:07] when i run sudo apt-get install gnome or any package i am getting error with ----Reading state information...

[17:15] aero: Well, their site, python.org, has some documentation. [17:15] bibekp, i have this set: drwxr-xr-x 6 kubanc kubanc 4096 ...... [17:15] theadmin lol, shoulda thought of that, thanks [17:15] kubanc, i dont think linux permissions should be an issue in windows. which version of windows do you use? [17:16] What kind of file or documents do you want to copy? [17:16] microsoft windows XP SP2 [17:16] Do I have to disable NetworkManager if I want to configure and connect to wireless networks from the terminal? [17:16] Curly_Q, i never heard this kind of problem kubanc [17:16] i was copying folders with movies, OOOO, is it possible that there is a file inside a folder that is only allowed to be viewed by root? [17:16] I have. [17:16] !who [17:16] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:16] It is a permission problem. [17:17] Hello everyone, I just added a computer to my network. All the computers are logging in via libpam-ldap. Now the problem is that on the new computer, users can log in. When typing : ldapsearch -h 10.1.1.xx -x -b dc=xxxx,dc=xx : i get all the users, so where is it going wrong ? [17:17] Curly_Q, how can linux permissions be of any issue inside windows ? i read/write open root-owned fines once i copy them to windows [17:17] Another reason is that the folder may be a hidden folder and check the properties of the folder. [17:17] unop: i think perl isn't installed.. [17:18] bibekp, windows cannot open folder, and i says that is is 0 file size [17:18] Curly_Q, is it possible that there is a file inside a folder that is only allowed to be viewed by root? [17:18] bibekp, k from what i have seen your cpu should stay in higher cstates for most of the time in your case it's only 1.1ms,your power usage is 31.1w which is very high and it says that most of the power in ur system is consumed by something other than cpu [17:18] kubanc: Well, if windows has some attributes messed up... but... maybe it didn't copy right, somehow. I'm assuming it's not encrypted, now, is it? [17:18] Kubanc, forget copying a Linux folder to Windows. Just copy the contents of the Linux folder to a Windows folder. [17:19] bhuvi, could you please elaborate [17:19] theadmin, no it is not [17:19] kubanc: Ugh... Just try doing what Curly_Q says. [17:20] bhuvi, my cpu is being made to stay in higher cstate than normal ? [17:20] bibekp, try the suggestions provided by powertop and check whether your power consumption reduces or not [17:20] theadmin, i changed the file with sudo chown -R user:user, copied it, and now i am going into windows to see if it worked [17:20] morning all (depending on time zone afternoon) [17:20] if this corrected the problem i'll report to you with success [17:21] bhuvi, i will. if you are free to explain to me what is happening, it would be really helpful to me [17:21] When all else fails: Read the Directions. [17:21] bibekp, yes your cpu must stay in a higher cstate in your case c6 state for atleast 15ms === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [17:22] bhuvi, and what other thing than cpu is comsuming my power ? [17:22] Hello, I'm trying to install upsmon... and setting it up... it's now asking me for a PRTK code, which I do not know... and there's nothing written on my UPS... it's a PCE XP edition 1200VA [17:22] as the gui interface to ubuntu just froze could anybody tell me how to reset it? [17:23] after i clicked on the time to reset it the upper and lower bars froze [17:23] how can i temporarily disable control-C ? [17:23] it kills this game im playing... [17:23] bhuvi, why cant such things (the suggestions of powertop) incorporated in linux when i select "laptop" while installing ubuntu ? looks ridiculous to me [17:23] bibekp, do have a graphic card? what version of ubuntu you are running? [17:24] http://www.pceups.com/Component/Products/Product.asp?ID=8&product=XP%20Pro%201200VA~3750VA&series=XP%20Economy%20/%20XP%20Pro%20/%20XP-RM/%20XPL <-- [17:24] bhuvi, ubuntu 9.04 [17:24] or at least if somebody could tell me how to log off or reset my machine through the terminal i'd be grateful as well [17:24] subichan: reboot command.. or try alt-ctrl-sysreq-k to force X to restart [17:24] bhuvi, i have an ATi graphics card and i have turned off compiz because the driver (fglrx) really sucks [17:25] subichan: or 'sudo service gdm restart' to r4estart x [17:25] stsm: "stty intr undef" [17:25] Dr_Willis: service not found [17:25] Is ffmpeg supposed to have mp3 support on a fresh installation of Linux Mint 7 and 8? ffmpeg tells me "Unknown encoder: libmp3lame" if I try to convert a file to mp3. On openSUSE, this works fine since ffmpeg (from Packman) supports mp3. The MediBuntu repository does not have ffmpeg on it. (Same problem with Jaunty and Karmic.) [17:25] bhuvi, are these suggestions (of powertop) listed somewhere online? they change very soon for me to copy them :) [17:26] What repo can I get a fully functional ffmpeg package from? [17:26] theadmin, the chowm -r didn't worked [17:26] subichan: perhaps its sudo service restart gdm , or are you using 9,10 or 9.04 ? [17:26] thanx sipior [17:27] kubanc: Okay. I understand it's possibly a bad idea, but you can try to archive the files, and unpack them on Windows. You have a really strange issue, though :/ === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [17:27] Dr_Willis: i'll try rebooting.. thanks.. [17:28] theadmin, i tryed to copy it over network to a different computer and the result is the same [17:28] subichan: or try the alt-ctrl-sysreq-k key combo [17:28] after the last system update, ssh is slow as hell [17:28] Greets to Dr Willis! <---------------------< [17:28] connecting - typing - all slow [17:28] did something change? [17:28] moo Curly_Q ! [17:28] :) [17:28] bibekp, perhaps you should consider upgrading to 9.10,for detailed info visit www.lesswatts.org [17:28] Good to see you again. [17:28] kubanc: Oh. That is very strangy. [17:29] bhuvi, i will visit. but i dislike upgrades as it breaks so many packages [17:29] anyone? [17:29] If ffmpeg is not on MediBuntu for Jautny or Karmic, then where else can I find a .deb for ffmpeg with mp3 support? [17:29] haven't noticed it @ zepolen [17:29] zepolen: Updates generally tend to slow system down. [17:29] zepolen: seems fine to me, maybe your connection is lagging? [17:30] zepolen: A clean install is preffered. And yeah, check the connection [17:30] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [17:30] grrrrrrrrrrrrr [17:30] bhuvi, is 9.10 stable? i have read negative reviews about it [17:30] bibekp, you want to work on that wireless isue? [17:30] et doesnt have sound anymore [17:30] flan_suse: i got it from somewhere.. medibuntu i thought [17:30] Dr_Willis: there is no ffmpeg package on MediaBuntu for Jaunty or Karmic. [17:30] i have seen 9.10 break several things on various computers at the office here; mine, however, works almost perfectly [17:30] theadmin, widows gave me this error: E:\folder refers to a location that is unavalible it could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. check to make sure the disk id poperly inserted, or that you connected to the internet of your network, and then try again. if it still cannot be located, the information might have boon moved to a different location [17:31] connection is fast - generally everything is fast, it's just ssh that is slow - actually, https is slow too [17:31] Dr_Willis: and the ffmpeg package on the official Ubuntu repos does not have mp3 support (legal reasons.) [17:31] hi, firefox says it's using system wide proxy settings, but i dont have any system wide proxy settings set up. it redirects to my school's proxy when i try and go to a site like pubmed. where would i find the file that determines this behavior? [17:31] hola [17:31] flan_suse: may be best to just compile it from soruce to enable everthing you want. [17:31] rigel: System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy [17:31] rigel: are you in yor schools network? [17:31] this makes no sense [17:31] dame un toque [17:31] theadmin: it's not there [17:31] rigel: Oh, then I don't know, sorry. [17:31] bibekp, do you want to work on that wireless issue now? [17:32] nibbler: currently, but it does it even at home. [17:32] Hola hola!!! [17:32] quién hay ahí?

[17:48] bibekp, usually they edit the driver to make it better. i dont know about any other tools that it would provide that arent already embedded in linux, or can be gotten via synaptic [17:49] madcheeze_, thats cool then. i wont need it [17:49] sameer: Go to the address about:config in firefox, and search for network.dns.disableIPv6 Make it's value True [17:49] hi all, does anybody here have a hp pavillion dv7?

[18:02] I would like to be able to switch from the one to the other..any ideas? [18:02] AshDragon: Poke around linuxwireless.org for your card, also check the Hardware Drivers app in Ubuntu [18:02] TheCheeze, yes, I'm on an unprotected wireless right now. but the connection is crap, [18:02] Fizix: can you access your modem settings? [18:02] thanks @ Hillshum. I've had no luck on Atheros' website. [18:03] hey guys my ssh server has stopped working [18:03] shooree, does the hidden one have an ip filter set on the router? [18:03] anyone know why [18:03] was really hoping for an auto-detect feature [18:03] shooree, or a mac filter rather [18:03] I cannot access the modem at all as my problem isn't with an internet connection, but the network manager not communicating to the modem at all [18:03] I cant even ssh via 127.0.0.1 [18:03] it was working yesterday [18:03] Listerthrawn, TheCheeze, here's my problem in detail, if you care: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1331405 [18:03] Fizix: Do other PCs/OSes work?

[18:04] shooree, not sure then. i am connected to my hidden network with no hiccups at all. sorry i cant help ya [18:05] TheCheeze, actually, there might be a MAC filter, I'm not good at that, but I remember the guy inputting some info about my laptop in the router. So that should've solved it. [18:05] Exile: openssh-server? [18:05] yeah [18:05] its stopped working [18:05] Is it possible to load two different apps in wine, on the same virtual desktop?

[18:06] Hillshum I cant even get in via 127.0.0.1 [18:06] YellowBanchee, I've accessed the modem already through XP and yes, I know the password for it. It's not an issue of an internet connection or me not being able to login to the modem to modify its credentials, it simply will not talk to it [18:06] Listerthrawn, that was the first thing I did [18:06] the open-ssh server has gone down [18:06] and I cannot install anything beacuse of it [18:07] Exile: What are you trying to do?

Perhaps through the XP partition? The system I'm on now isn't on the DSL connection at all; they're completely independant from each other, [18:13] doesn't work means I am not prompted for "suid for cpu freq applet?" dpkg-reconfigure -plow gnome-applets [18:14] * dlchesser knows that was a stupid statement "it does not do it when I tell it to do it" [18:14] Fizix: Yes, from any system connected to the modem, connect to them modem's web interface at 168.192.1 or something [18:15] Hillshum, so I should make sure DHCP is enabled on the modem side via XP, then log back into the Ubuntu partition and try again? [18:15] Exile: have you tried moving sshd_config out of the way before the reinstall? [18:15] dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets simply returns with no questions about set user ID [18:15] Exile: it doesn't seem to like the space in the Banner line, try commenting it out then reinstalling [18:15] Fizix: that should do the trick, yes [18:15] ok I'll give that ago [18:15] Fizix: Yes [18:16] trism and mezquitale : Thanks for the help.

[18:58] wow what minervaK [18:58] Fizix: step one, "sudo apt-get update" [18:58] just reading the scroll makes me feel stupid [18:59] hi all, could you help how to restore grub onto my sda please? [18:59] works, thanks! Don't need to kill myself today! Thanks everyone for your support [18:59] lots of new terminology to learn [18:59] hi. how can i check if i have a sata or pata slim dvd on my laptop? [19:00] well minervaK if u want to learn about linux (half those terms are linux related, not just ubuntu) i'm sure someone here would help ya, all ya have to do is start asking [19:00] explosionirc.org [19:01] that, or PM someone that will allow you to PM them, lol [19:01] how do I figure out where an application is installed via shell? [19:01] such as svn [19:01] anyone else experience weird behavior with copy and paste, eg. between firefox and the terminal? Like I copy something from the addressbar in ubuntu and then copy something else from the address bar, and when I try to paste into my terminal it paste the first. [19:01] sdwrage, [19:01] sdwrage: which svn would show you the binary [19:01] sdwrage: which svn [19:01] yeah I just remembered :P [19:01] thx tyler_d1 [19:01] Or sometimes it pastes and old piece of text I highlighted in the terminal [19:01] how to change gdm theme in Karmic? [19:02] Mainstay, install a good clipboard manager like parcellite [19:03] Anyone got any other recommendations for a good clipboard manager? [19:03] most clipboard managers seem to be overkill in my experience. [19:03] hello [19:04] hi [19:04] is someone running awstats on ubuntu 8.04 lts server? I have trouble to view the stats in my browser (it show 0 visitors etc) but the awstats.pl generates excelent .txt files.. [19:04] i'm just worried i won't be able to understand how to work ubuntu [19:04] !es [19:04] i am having issues with sound on this new mint [19:04] how much linux do i need to know to use it? [19:04] minervaK: almost nothing [19:04] canal espanol [19:05] linfo: #ubuntu-es [19:05] minervaK: not much all you need is google and the #ubuntu channel [19:05] minervaK: get you free pocket guide here: http://ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [19:05] minervaK: it will works out of the box [19:05] yah i got the pocket guide [19:05] i upgraded mint 7 64 to mint 8 64 [19:05] minervaK: using it's pretty much like using windows these days. administering it, is easier than windows in a lot of ways. [19:05] now if i can just get the thing to install [19:05] canal en espanol? [19:05] :) [19:05] !es [19:05] mainstay, that's music to my ears [19:06] windows is a huge pain in the ass [19:06] how to change gdm theme in Karmic? [19:06] minervaK: if you have problem with installation try to burn the iso image on DVD instead of CD [19:06] installing it seems to be easier than windows these days....at least faster. Given the right hardware combo (if you don't have this, forget it) it's cake. [19:06] windows sucks the big one :) [19:06] jozef, i'm re-burning it now [19:06] windows is windows. [19:06] linfo: Por favor, use # ubuntu-es para el español [19:06] RenatoSilva: System - Administration - Login Screen [19:06] Anyone got any other recommendations for a good clipboard manager? [19:07] baytes: no [19:07] nightlonewolf clued me in [19:07] RenatoSilva: System > Preferences > Appearance [19:07] minervaK: i wouldn't recommmend attempting a dual boot with windows tho. Not without reading up on it carefully. [19:07] i clued u in for what minervaK ? [19:07] hi all. i'm new to ubuntu, coming from Gentoo. i installed 9.10 and see that when a samba share is accessed it is also automagically mounted in ~/.gvfs [19:07] oCean_: incorrect too [19:07] what sudo command scans for sound drivers? [19:08] RenatoSilva: no, that is the way to change your desktop theme(s) [19:08] oCean_: that changes current user's, not gdm's [19:08] satans feiga fack!!!! [19:08] RenatoSilva: /usr/bin/gdmsetup [19:08] Mainstay, glipper is very simple [19:08] oCean_: sorry, you've incorrect answer for the question [19:08] however after logging out these are no longer mounted. is it possible to have certain shares mounted automatically on login? [19:08] fack yor possy boy!!! [19:08] baytes: you're incorrect, sorry. [19:08] This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers! [19:08] RenatoSilva: ah, ok. In 9.10, that's not too easy (there's less possibilities) [19:08] Pici: thankies [19:09] baytes: how to change gdm ***theme*** in ***Karmic***? [19:09] oCean_: how to change ***gdm*** theme in ***Karmic***? [19:09] zerq, you mistyped something [19:09] RenatoSilva: for example this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjwKa8TxKpw) shows how to change the gdm login [19:09] hello quick question, how do I run a .sh file with sudo command? [19:09] RenatoSilva: The version of gdm that ships with Karmic does not support the same theming that prior versions supported. [19:10] saruji, sudo sh myfile.sh [19:10] if I am correct... [19:10] oCean_: I was just trying to recall export DISPLAY=:0.0, that's annoying but is one of the steps to get it working. I just found that in the web and will try now. Be right back [19:10] on a similar note, how does one ensure that an external usb drive is always mounted to the same place (for example, if you want to create playlists that refer to mp3s on it, you don't want the path to the mp3 file to change depending on how many drives you have connected) [19:10] the terminal on my notebook is very slow in 9.10. any ideas on what the problem could be? [19:10] RenatoSilva: found an excert: "THere is no way to "theme" your GDM with 9.10. THat feature has been removed. " [19:10] changing the theme just right click on the desktop and chose change desktop background [19:10] saruji: sudo /path/to/sh/mysh.sh should do it, or use sdwrage way [19:10] Is it possible to load two different apps in wine, on the same virtual desktop? I'm trying to load vent, and a game, and cant figure out how to load both. [19:11] sdwrage, I run that I get "cant open setup.sh" [19:11] klown, see if u can run both of them without a virtual window [19:11] ok i'll see you cats later on [19:11] thanks for the help [19:11] klown: Of course you can it will be pretty cpu intensive but of course [19:11] RenatoSilva: however here is a hack - http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html [19:11] saruji, are u using ./setup.sh or just setup.sh? [19:11] minervaK: take note, don't dual boot without reading up on it. [19:11] Pici: yes, so you need enigmatic, non-user-friedly steps to get your theme back, as I did. But I have more useful things to do than care about those enigmatic steps to fix stupid regressions in GNOME. The whole problem thus is that I'm trying to recall those steps [19:12] Nightlonewolf, if i try and run a game outside the virtual window, it ends badly, so the VW is required for the game. [19:12] Nightlonewolf, just setup.sh [19:12] how do I change keyboard layouts? [19:12] Mainstay, always install windows first, if possible :P [19:12] Nightlonewolf, ran what you said, it said no such command, so it doesnt know what I am asking it to do [19:12] No, how do I ADD and change keyboard layouts? [19:12] i hear there are issues with 9.10 and dual booting? I've also had random issues with thinkpads...even with windows first. [19:13] conb123, currently, I have a script as described on wine FAQ, when i run it, the first app loads fine, but the second will not load until the first one is closed [19:13] saruji, u want ./setup.sh if ur in the same directory of the file [19:13] conb123, excuse the enter..how do I run them both together? [19:13] baytes: there is no default, easy way, but you can run gnome-appearance-properties as the user gdm, and you'll chnage it. The problem is how to run. Will try and brb [19:13] * I have already added language support for the language I want [19:13] Nightlonewolf, so run sudo ./setup.sh [19:13] ? [19:13] yes [19:13] I guess the idea is, blowing away windows, in switching to linux, is going to be anti productive. [19:13] (for newbies) [19:14] <][ceman> Can anyone tell me is this: RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH is fakeing RAID [19:14] Mainstay, you can always fix grub from ubuntu but trying to fix it from windows is a pita , it can be done but leaves a lot junk on the bootloader [19:14] baytes: oh yes, that's the hack I used when Karmic was released, but last update of gdm package today has broken it :( [19:14] Nightlonewolf, command not found, tried it with sh in from but same thing [19:14] <][ceman> my install shows two seperate disks instead of one RAID1 volume [19:14] hello guys [19:14] Nightlonewolf: hi === zach is now known as Guest53283 [19:15] nightwolf, hi, lol [19:15] * RenatoSilva brb [19:15] RenatoSilva: go figure, sounds bout like my luck lol. hmm let me dig a little more. whats the release #? [19:15] ANY1 HERE KNOWS (PERL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE ) ? [19:15] BluesKaj: yah, i had to use a grubdisk on the thinkpad. I was also trying to load ubuntu as a dual boot, but on an external usb drive. grubdisk saved me but no linux in the end. [19:15] and saruji are u in the same directory as setup.sh? [19:15] yes [19:15] Nightlonewolf, yes [19:15] ANY1 HERE KNOWS (PERL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE ) ? [19:15] PyramidGuy: Perl programming support is in #perl [19:15] ANY1 HERE KNOWS (PERL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE ) ? [19:15] PyramidGuy: And please lose the caps [19:15] PyramidGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:15] PyramidGuy: #perl [19:15] yah, use ctrl enter. lol. [19:15] hmm...thats strange then...cause it should load [19:16] where can i get gl3.h? [19:16] say do you know if there is a word processor or text editor (that can work with unicode) that has good regular expression support? (open office's seems to be quite basic)? preferably X [19:17] Nightlonewolf, I can run the command "sh setup.sh" but without sudo [19:17] hi all [19:17] hmm....well, saruji, my next best guess, is to log into root and then run setup.sh [19:17] saruji: with sudo you need to type sh ./setup.sh because the current directory is not in the path === jmyers is now known as MetalliMyers [19:17] Nightlonewolf, yea I figured [19:18] thank u so much FlooBot14 [19:18] thx so much [19:18] guntbert, i suggested that, it didn't work [19:18] is there a way to join 2 or more mp3 files in linux? [19:18] Nightlonewolf: ok, I came in late :-) [19:18] Is there a repo conatining Skype in itself? [19:18] lol, i thought so guntbert [19:18] guntbert, so like sudo sh ./setup.sh right? tried that and reads cant open ./setup.sh [19:19] guntbert, this is from a mounted ISO === croppa_ is now known as croppa [19:19] matyy: geany or jedit? [19:19] littlegreen: I believe it is in the http://medibuntu.org repositories. [19:19] thx Mainstay I will check em out [19:19] saruji: as Nightlonewolf already said: strange - why don't you try to copy the content somewhere else? [19:20] Pici: thanks [19:20] guntbert, good Idea will do [19:20] Nightlonewolf, guntbert thanks guys [19:20] matyy: one is better than the other i forget which, I'm still looking for the best alternative in a text editor geany is the best for me so far. [19:20] saruji, if it's a mounted iso, then u prob should :P lol [19:20] and no problem [19:20] Mainstay, I didn't have any luck with grubdisk [19:21] how do I add the "medibuntu" repository? [19:21] Nightlonewolf: he is gone :) [19:21] pranay: audacity [19:21] pranay: awesome audio editor. [19:21] Oh, there's a "Howto", sorry for asking [19:21] guntbert, he is too! lol [19:21] Any ideas what might cause all movies and audio to play something like 50% to 100% faster? [19:21] jacobian__: A faster cpu? [19:21] My audio/video was working fine, and now it's double speed, or nearly [19:21] i actually had a lot of luck with linux at home by happening upon an old pc on the street. Before that I was always attempting dual boots and getting myself in truoble. === hunter_ is now known as PSYHERMES [19:21] ok, i am installing, Mainstay, I am still quite new with regular expressions === mikc_ is now known as mikc [19:22] matyy: just like riding a bike. [19:22] lol [19:22] jacobian__: Too fast? Chipmunk style? [19:22] Hillshum: Yeah [19:22] Hillshum: xD [19:23] jacobian__: All video? All audio? Just certain programs? [19:23] racecar56: ok , i'll try that , thanks === skyred_ is now known as skyred [19:23] matyy: it's always with the line breaks that the regexp support fails in those gui editors [19:23] Hillshum: It appears to be everything, I'm using pulseaudio [19:23] Hillshum: So I'm not sure about stuff that doesn't go through pulse [19:24] jacobian__: So when you watch a video it goes fast, or is the whole screen fast? [19:24] The video keeps up with the audio [19:25] And the audio is too fast, so it must be everything. [19:25] hello there, yesterday I've asked here about mounting directly (as you do with FAT and NTFS partitions) a Netware (type 65) partition under Linux [19:25] jacobian__: But normal programs work fine? [19:25] i've heard of issues with youtube video speeding up [19:25] it doesn't seem to be Linux specific, either [19:26] Could it be a gstreamer issue? [19:26] jacobian__: Have you used vlc? [19:26] anyone has an idea about this? [19:26] Hillshum: I don't have vlc, but I can try it in mplayer [19:26] Hmm. It appears Ubuntu 9.10 has no Xorg.conf... but (as usual) it's only detecting 640x480 and 800x600 for me.. any ideas? [19:26] Hillshum: It's the case for youtube as well [19:27] oh, if it's a standalone player that's an odd issue [19:27] jacobian__: What version of Ubuntu? [19:27] My Ubuntu fore fox 3.5 wont download [19:28] I cannot find the helpful person I've found yesterday, so here I go again: [19:28] ubuntu_mad: Where are you downloading it from? === cp is now known as Guest20661 [19:29] I have a Netware ATA/IDE disk connected on this machine and I'd like to access the Netware partition (type 65) from Ubuntu, the same way I access FAT or NTFS partitions, any ideas? [19:29] Hillshum:sorry i mean it wont DL attachments etc [19:29] ncpmount and friends are out of the question, because there's no Netware server running, I have the server's disk connected directly here [19:30] Hillshum: like when i want to DL an email attachment..nothing happens when i select Download [19:31] ubuntu_mad: Does it work with all attachments and at all pages? [19:31] hello need help mounting a usb drive [19:31] wildman: have you seen http://www.novell.com/communities/node/3234/nfs-mount-netware-65-volume-sles-server-or-sled-client ? [19:31] Is there anyway I can forget the running applications on startup, I used the function which says 'Remember currently running applications' [19:32] hey, is there any way to remove or rename PPA? [19:32] Hillshum: I cant DL any file from anywhere through FF download manager [19:32] ubuntu__, usb drives should be automatically mounted, have you tried running "lsusb" to see if your device is recognized? [19:32] hi [19:32] I'm having a strange network interface problem. The eth0 gets acknowledged as r8169. Then, a DSL conection is established though it. So far , so well. Every 8 minutes or so "r8169: eth0: link down" "r8169: eth0: link up" appear in dmesg. If that pair of messages appear more than 4 times, then the DSL is hung with the following message logged to /var/log/messages " pppd[891]: No response to 4 echo-requests" "pppd[891]: Se [19:32] Mainstay [19:32] ubuntu__: Also pastebin the output of dmesg [19:32] !ask| nasrullah [19:32] how can I install jdk 1.4 on a 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 system? [19:32] how to set up bluetooth in xubuntu karmic [19:32] Is there anyway I can forget the running applications on startup, I used the function which says 'Remember currently running applications' [19:33] Mainstay: Yeah, absolutely, cut 'n paste drives me crazy. [19:33] guntbert: thx for the link, but no good, it's a situation similar to the ncpmount and friends, you have to have the Netware server running, I don't, I just have its disk and network card, that's all, the server is trashed [19:33] Mainstay: The problem is that there are several different mechanisms. [19:33] Hillshum: i do have j downloader but it used to work side by side with ff with no issues [19:34] wildman: true, I only read the titles :-/ [19:34] Mainstay: There are typically tyhree ways you can cut and paste in the terminal window; select and then click, select and right-click-copy, select and edit/copy. [19:34] Mainstay: Likewise, in GUI emacs. [19:34] fearful: System > Control Center [19:34] yes tried that [19:34] Mainstay: If you find a solution, please let me know :-(. [19:34] Startup Applications [19:34] how can i change the super key system wide? [19:34] Options :) [19:34] can i get the command to force mount [19:35] c0p3rn1c: To start, get an easier nick to type :-). [19:35] it a ide hard drive connected to a ide to usb converter [19:35] i do get bad signatures gpg ..how to correct this???? [19:35] jozefk, thanks but thats not exactly what I meant but I guess I can work with that [19:35] ubuntu__, so did your device get recognized when you typed "lsusb"? Are you plugging your device to a USB card? Can you try installing the USB device to another slot? [19:35] guntbert: something like http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Nwfs-lw is what I'd need... but ready-made for Ubuntu :) [19:35] jozefk, what options? [19:35] puff: why don't you/he change the copy paste shortcuts? [19:35] c0p3rn1c: There appears to be a fair bit oftalk about this on ubuntu. [19:36] Fazer2: How so? [19:36] well i can see it on computer but it says can't mount file ? [19:36] puff: in the terminal options [19:36] System > Control Center > Startup Applications > Options [19:36] It is so embarrassing to assign something to that key in GNU/Linux. Nothing should be assigned to something with MS logo on it. Could only be used for switching OS on double boot systems, or accessing ms website or something :) [19:36] c0p3rn1c: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/953153/is-it-possible-to-put-java-1-4-on-64-bit-ubuntu [19:37] jozefk, i do not think you know what you are talking about [19:37] puff: most irc clients allow you to click on the nick and it pastes it in. [19:37] puff: thanks for the feedback [19:37] MrKeuner: haha [19:37] Fazer2: I don't see an "options" menu item, do you mean preferences? [19:37] ubuntu__, use paste bin and show us the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [19:37] MrKeuner: just put some electrical tape over the logo on the key. [19:37] Mainstay: It's been bugging me for a while. [19:37] MrKeuner: fearful asked for that [19:37] puff: lol, yeah [19:37] Mainstay, problem is that I do not have that key [19:37] Hillshum: ?? [19:37] no help???for bluetooth and signatures???? [19:38] jozefk, OK sorry [19:38] !ask| nasrullah [19:38] Mainstay: Also bugging me: copying and pasting text from firefox into the terminal cuases problems if the text has "smart quotes", m-dashes or other odd characters. [19:38] np [19:38] ubuntu_mad: I have no clue [19:38] wildman: looks like some work to do - but on a completely different line: you know that this channel is logged, so you can find old conversations again [19:38] nasrullah: sorry im a noob lol [19:38] puff: edit -> keyboard shortcuts [19:38] guntbert: logged? where at? [19:39] In case anyone is interested, in order to get ffmpeg to convert to mp3 (which is what the Firefox addon Video DownloadHelper uses), you can simply install libavcodec-unstripped-52 from the package manager. The ffmpeg package from the Ubuntu repositories does not support mp3 for legal reasons. [19:39] nasrullah, ask your question in one line, if someone knows the answer they will reply, if you get no response get some time and then ask again [19:39] So, I'm happy now! [19:39] !logs [19:39] guntbert: well, yesterday we didn't reach far with the helpful person, I had some ideas of other things to try... which obviously (now) didn't work :-\ [19:39] Hillshum: ok..read somehwhere that deleting the download.dfr file fixes it bu i cant find it [19:39] guntbert: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com [19:39] !logs [19:39] doh. [19:39] puff: you can use \ before the special characters [19:39] people i hv problem , i hv kde on ubuntu 8.10 , how can i install networkmanager for gnome to make it work in kde [19:39] no way to get it sort out???lol??? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:39] Hillshum: maybe in nedd to delete my profile? [19:39] hi guys [19:40] <_JoseLuis_> hi [19:40] quick question, is there a "desktop recording program" that actually works? [19:40] Pici: thx :-) [19:40] mishoo, not yet [19:40] <_JoseLuis_> I need a freak of gparted [19:40] http://pastebin.com/m341b8d30 [19:40] I'm playing with recordmydesktop, but the sound is badly out of sync [19:40] http://pastebin.com/m341b8d30 [19:40] hi all [19:40] mishoo, what do you mean "recording program? you want to record sound? try audacity [19:40] MrKeuner: ah, that confirms my feeling.. which is great because at least I can stop searching :) [19:40] Fazer2: I think you mean Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts... not sure this will actually solve the problem, depends on what buffer the keyboard shortcut copy uses. [19:41] mMezquitale: I want to record a screencast with sound [19:41] puff, thx , doesn't your IRC client has auto completion? [19:41] тут есть русские? [19:41] Fazer2 The problem is, I don't get that far. When I just copy in firefox and paste in terminal, the text gets mangled. [19:41] mishoo, there is Istanbul if you like to try but I did not like it either [19:41] <_JoseLuis_> I've broken Windows installing ext2 driver to share my linux FS, becouse I've changed the letter of the partition, so does anybody knows how to change the letter again using GParted? [19:41] !ru | romario [19:41] puff: so being that you are one of the few that answered does that mean noone else has problems pasting into terminal? [19:41] I tried it, not too good [19:41] What's recommended? apt-proxy or apt-cacher? [19:41] puff: yes, I just said about edit->keyboard shortcuts [19:41] thank you [19:41] romario: i understand russian but people speaks english here most of the time [19:41] <_JoseLuis_> Changing the letter is the only way to fix it [19:41] puff: I didn't see the beginning of this discussion [19:42] Fazer2: the only thing that works for dealign with smartquotes, etc, is pasting into a GUI emacs buffer and editing them out. [19:42] mishoo: try wink? [19:42] anyone know how to install wink on 9.10 karmic? [19:42] Mainstay: I guess not. [19:42] я понял тебя [19:42] :) [19:42] did u get the link ? [19:42] is there a way to force a 32 bit program to install on a 64bit Karmic? [19:43] Mainstay: what it that wink for? [19:43] dicknc: download the 32-bit version and run it with `linux32` [19:43] * mishoo thinks ..oO( how did I forget about wink? let's see.. ) [19:43] Dragon: just use that command? [19:43] ubuntu__, yes, this is weird, usually you can fix this by plugging the device into another port, you can also manually mount it, if you want to manually mount it first create a mounting point in "/media", do this by creating a directory like so " sudo mkdir /media/mydir" === Vlet_ is now known as Vlet [19:43] dicknc: `man linux32` [19:44] I'm trying to debug a suspend/wireless problem on a eee [19:44] Dragon: thanks [19:44] eee 1000HE (Atheros card) won't connect to wireless after suspend/resume. [19:44] how to disable splash screen when loggin in? [19:44] nothing for me???? [19:44] mMezquitale ok [19:44] wink = desktop video/screenshot capture [19:44] i think it's a fat or fat32 file system [19:45] ubuntu__, can you also first go to the folder "/media" and check to see if the drive isn't already mounted there? [19:45] DarwinSurvivor: not good! [19:45] * mishoo thinks ..oO( ok, dropped the idea ) [19:45] so far recordmydesktop is the closest to perfection, if only this sound issue would come up right :-/ [19:45] how to make the window max/restore when you double click the title? [19:45] mMezquitale not there [19:45] how to disable splash screen when loggin in? [19:46] sorry bout that, x-chat had an anurism [19:46] many thanks to all of not helping me????????????????? [19:46] I have enabled the control alt backspace to restart X in the keyboard settings, but it is still not working (ubuntu 9.10) any ideas? [19:46] Mainstay: i checked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Asus%20Eee%201000HE and it mentions a bug "similar" to mine, but doesn't say anything about suspend (which is the problem for me) [19:47] I haven't noticed any signal strength problems when it does work (before suspend), so it may be unrelated [19:47] nasrullah: sorry but if no one knows how then thay dont reply [19:47] ubuntu__, try installing ntfs support first: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" [19:47] nasrullah: apparently nobody here knows the answer. [19:47] ok [19:47] nasrullah: I don'tknow the answer myself, and I've actually spent a fair bit of time learning to program bluetooth stuff. [19:47] nasrullah: it does get frusting alright but keep trying [19:47] mMezquitale i doubt it ntfs it's a dos os [19:47] nasrullah: It's frustrating, sometimes, when nobody seems to notice that you're talking, but generally that's better than everybody replying "I don't know". [19:48] ActionParsnip mentioned some cards requiring a re-mod-probe after suspend, how would I do that? [19:48] ubuntu_mad, i already asked him to try asking the same question later but he's not listening [19:48] nasrullah: Best option is to come back and ask later [19:48] Because someone later might know [19:48] ok [19:48] any ideas Mainstay ? [19:48] which netbook is best for Ubuntu??? [19:48] I ask questions here and often no one knows, but twenty minutes later, ten people will know [19:48] mMezquitale: lol ya but it does get frustrating when yer system is kaput lol [19:49] ubuntu__, so the hard drive is formatted using fat16? [19:49] how do I permanently disable services at bootup like sendmail, cups, etc?? [19:49] mMezquitale not sure what file format it has but for sure it not ntfs [19:50] DarwinSurvivor: ugh... what a pain. I've stopped using suspend resume. Should be able to disable renable the wifi card. I know it's a known issue with EEE's, might google it with the 1000xx model. [19:50] DarwinSurvivor: are you starting from a fresh install? [19:50] how do i disable/re-enable it? [19:51] Mainstay: yes (used it for a couple weeks now, but problem has been there since i installed) [19:51] mmm. that i don't know off hand, though there might be more than one way. [19:51] I have enabled the control alt backspace to restart X in the keyboard settings, but it is still not working (ubuntu 9.10) any ideas? [19:51] DarwinSurvivor: update? [19:51] ubuntu__, this will allow you to mount a fat16/32 partition manually: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/[SDB#] /media/MYDIR -o uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 [19:51] i have tried stopping/starting wicd, networking, wicd-client, etc [19:51] Where do I begin researching: 1computer 2x(monitors, keyboard, mouse) so 2 diff ppl can use it @the same time? [19:51] i've basically restarted every networking daemon i can find, short of re mod-probing the driver (which I don't know how to do) [19:52] if i knew the name of the driver, i could probably re-mod-probe it, but i can't figure out it's name ;( [19:52] mMezquitale ok and how do i know which sdb is the right one [19:52] hi [19:52] ubuntu__, replace SDB# with the hard drive in your machine [19:52] What happend to the `services` admin app, its not in karmic [19:53] how can i change the super key system wide?

[19:57] but i'm having trouble finding a keylogger for Ubuntu [19:57] ronald_: serial??? [19:58] yes no serial port [19:58] ttyS0 [19:58] i'm running a script from cron that needs to open firefox, but the script fails and tells me it was unable to open the browser. i'm guessing this is because cron doesnt have permission to open firefox, but i dont really know how to give cron this permission. can anyone point me in the right direction? [19:58] lasivian: that does not suprise me [19:58] cool idea in theory.. but if someone stole your laptop do you think they'd leave ubuntu on it? [19:58] is there anyway that I can diff to dirs that aren't under nay source control? [19:58] two dirs that is :D [19:58] hello? [19:59] not that i would ever steal or buy a stolen laptop.. but let's say I did.. first thing I would do would be to wipe the hdd [19:59] sebsebseb, well, it's a type of program that is easy to abuse, but does occasionally have legit uses [19:59] skyl: if they are text files you can use diff directory_1 directory_2 [19:59] lasivian: exactly [19:59] zerq, worth trying, what have I got to lose [19:59] trism, no way ... [19:59] * skyl off to try [19:59] zerq, especially if I leave it logged in [20:00] lasivian: yea, could definitely be worth it.. even if they were to turn it on once [20:00] is there a way to route the output which is sent to the front-center speaker to the rear-center speaker in pulseaudio? [20:00] Hi I'm a newbie...I have a E-MU 1212m sound card. I can't understand how to understand on how to install the driver. [20:00] lasivian: no idea where you would get a software keylogger for ubuntu though [20:00] cj_: oh [20:00] becasue for any reason i can't get my front-speaker working; it is detected as rear-center speaker ;) [20:00] it's easy enough to dump camera shots in email, but I figured a keylog would be good too [20:00] cj_: how new to Ubuntu or Linux in general even? [20:00] lasivian: if there even is such a thing [20:00] Neremor, most of the speech in 5.1 is dirtected to the center channel , why would you do that [20:01] cj_: sound isn't really my area, but maybe I can hep you a little bit [20:01] sebsebseb, extremely new [20:01] anyone have a link on (or can quickly explain) how to manually resolve a configuration file conflict when updating a package? [20:01] whose bright idea was it to make the volume applet non-movable in 9.10 ?!?!? [20:01] Neremor, I'm pretty sure I've seen it been done before [20:01] cj_: how new? and which versin of Ubuntu? [20:01] why does my synaptic touchpad can't detect 2 fingers? How do i tell whether it's synaptic or not? [20:02] the volume applet should be in the top-right corner so i can throw the mouse up there and scroll to adjust the volume without even looking... [20:02] Neremor, this will give you an introduction: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound [20:02] i don't thnik so [20:02] whoever decided to make that a CONCRETE applet now, is a jerkface and has no idea what it means to support customizable FOSS === MetalliMyers is now known as jmyers [20:02] I'm reading tutorials for 5.1 sound for over two months now [20:02] the second part of this is, how do I set ubuntu to always keep my account logged in> [20:02] How do i find out what kernel modules are installed so I can re mod-probe my wifi card after resume? [20:02] which i'm guessing is not "normal" behavior [20:03] cj_: 9.10 yes? [20:03] hello [20:03] lasivian: go to System > Administration > Login Window or somethin' like that [20:03] sebsebseb, yes [20:03] and now i got it working that my center speaker reacts on rear-center output... but because i can't change this, i need to address the output to other channels... in alsa this was done with a channel map, but pulseaudio... [20:03] it says all I need is the latest alsa [20:03] slam_, thanks [20:03] I have ti [20:04] it [20:04] np [20:04] ibuclaw: install tpconfig [20:04] precisely every other time I load up Rhythmbox, it crashes after like 10 seconds.

[20:05] not at all [20:05] zerq, thanks for the tip ;P [20:05] ibuclaw: disregard that, wrong person ;) [20:05] !tpconfig [20:05] cj_: ok well that's a bit odd for a desktop [20:05] cj_: it's lap tops that usually get the sound issues with Ubuntu [20:05] nytek_: i will seee; is it just rhythmbox-plugins or something else obvious? === slam_ is now known as grndslm [20:06] zerq: what's tpconfig? [20:06] cj_: however I had a proper sound issue on my desktop for the first time with 9.10 [20:06] zopiac: probably, seach in synaptic [20:06] nytek_: it isn't rhythm* anything, yeah ill look in the synaptic package manager [20:07] cj_: you may be able to configure stuff and get your sound working, but it won't be that easy, especially when your new [20:07] zopiac: yeah, just type in something with last.fm [20:07] nytek_: those plugins come with rhythmbox; perhaps i should just reinstall it completely [20:07] zopiac: good idea. [20:07] cj_: what kind of sound hardware is it? nothing that fancy, or really new right? [20:08] zopiac: sorry, i dont use rhythmbox, i dont know much about the package information [20:08] any help? O_o [20:08] Leoneof``: what is your question?

Gnome-Network-Manager can't detect networks for external wireless (usb) wlan1 , but when i turn ON button for internal wireless wlan0... the wlan1 will work and detect networks , why? [20:09] zopiac: i dont think removing it will remove any configuration files [20:09] cj_: don't know the answer? or disappeard on me? [20:09] Anyone know of a good dreamweaver-esque alternative for ubuntu? I don't need the WYSIWYG, but the site management is nice. [20:10] lasivian: based on what zerq said, perhaps a bios based keylogger lol, i am kinda surprised you couldn't find a keylogger tho. [20:10] i have lost my sound, is there a quick way of restarting it? [20:10] Leoneof``: you dont have the drivers installed for the usb card then [20:10] I have tried alsa restart and pulseaudio restart [20:10] nytek_: it doesn't seem to have any; or at least not in any ~/. folder. there is no ~/.rhythmbox folder, and its only folder i can find is ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/ which only has an empty plugins folder [20:10] Mainstay: think I found one [20:10] xover: run aumix or alsamixer [20:10] nytek: it is installed , ndiswrapper with windows driver [20:10] well is there a way to use the .asoundrc bindings-option to route the channels to their output AND use pulseaudio? [20:10] sebsebseb, what is the virtualbox repo cmd? i know sudo apt-get install but whats the word for vbox? === artem_ is now known as smirnoffjr [20:11] cj_: 9.10 has issues with certain things that worked in the previous release 9.04, so maybe you should try that [20:11] then what mate? [20:11] nytek_: of course it has to have some sort of configuration, but i just cant find any [20:11] Leoneof``: when you run ifconfig does it show wlan1? [20:11] Mainstay, http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkl/ [20:11] madcheeze: it's the open source one from the repo, with no USB support [20:11] zopiac: um, you might want to google the problem [20:11] nytek_: i havent seen anything relevant on google [20:12] madcheeze: the USB support would also have to be set up a bit in the terminal [20:12] madcheeze: for the version that has it [20:12] zopiac: when did the problem start to happen? [20:12] madcheeze: virtualbox-ose for the repo one I think [20:12] zopiac: what do you think caused it? [20:12] yes, it will show me wlan1, even it will detect networks but in terminal only [20:12] nytek: yes, it will show me wlan1, even it will detect networks but in terminal only [20:12] nytek_: maybe a month ago, when I added a bunch of plugins (but i have since removed them from the plugins folder) [20:12] sebsebseb, the one i have showing up is that one that you said, do i need the gtk frontend too? [20:13] ive just been ignoring it for a while [20:13] zopiac: try adding the plugins again [20:13] madcheeze: just install virtualbox-ose and it should take care of any other dependancies [20:13] DarwinSurvivor: is there no way to disable via the ui?

[20:13] nytek_: i tried adding the ones i still have again, but for the others I would need to find online again. they were scattered across the webs [20:13] md5sum netbook remix [20:13] Mainstay: not that I can find (using WICD) network-manager has given me firewall problems in the past [20:13] i think vmware server took the sound input [20:14] how do i get it back to the host? [20:14] I spent 3 weeks trouble-shooting another eee server (diff model) and found out network-manager was somehow preventing incoming ssh/http connections [20:14] how can i tell what version of grub im using? [20:14] zopiac: ugh, thats definitely a confusing problem. have you tried a complete removal from syntapic of rythmbox? [20:14] bye ppl [20:14] ZaNeIuM: Why? normalely it doesn't really matter as such [20:14] guntbert: thx for your help [20:14] ZaNeIuM: which version of Ubuntu?

[20:24] hi. I'm constantly having problems with my sound since I upgraded to karmic... can someone help me? [20:24] hahah unreliable [20:24] How do I find it (or even a list of modules i have)?

BTW On one of them I run ifconfig but I don't see any inet addr; there is only inet6. Is that normal? [20:36] Can someone help me debug an issue that's driving me nuts? I don't get global keypresses or mouse events, mouse only responds to the panel, nothing else is interactable with the mouse, alt+tab doesn't work, no other keybinds work. [20:36] mMezquitale, wow you didn't even ask if it were a dude or a chick before asking for that hug, kinda concerned for you :) [20:36] alright enough from me i have to get back to work :) [20:36] !ot | jcrawford please [20:36] jcrawford please: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I'm also curious whether a linux partition can mess with the laptop's touch pad settings/functionality, because it's not working anymore in Linux OR Windows. [20:37] damn, re-modprobed all ath5k modules and wireless STILL dead after suspend :( [20:37] oh and cookie, milk and hug is OT? [20:37] jcrawford, what's so wrong with a hug from a guy or gal? As long as no kissing is involved, in my culture hugging is acceptable social behavior [20:37] s/OT/ON TOPIC [20:37] so odd with laptop... Gnome-Network-Manager can't detect networks for external wireless (usb) wlan1 , but when i turn ON button for internal wireless wlan0... the wlan1 will work and detect networks , why?

I need magic.h but it's not in the imagemagick package [20:39] edoceo-fluorine_: try "apt-cache provides magic.h" [20:39] mMezquitale: I can access both, I just discovered that I can navigate through the system settings and whatnot by pressing the Windows key [20:39] invalid operation provides [20:39] Ever since I've upgraded to Karmic, Java applets don't work in Firefox 3.5. I've manually installed JRE 1.6.0.17 (http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java) and I get the following error when I run Firefox LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so: cannot open shared object file: Permissio [20:39] n denied] [20:39] mMezquitale: I'm trying to restore Linux back to the default settings, is there a way to do this? [20:39] !find magic.h [20:39] Found: gtk2-engines-magicchicken, magic-haskell-doc === Mingebag is now known as MetalliMyers [20:40] romeus: you did sun-java6-jre ? [20:40] hmm, seems not. [20:40] Spidler, are you using karmic? [20:40] mMezquitale: yes [20:40] sebsebseb: I tried that first, and then I manually installed it instead [20:41] romeus: maybe a new Firefox profile will help [20:41] Spidler, try logging out, click on your nickname, after you do that you should see some options appear below, make sure keyboard and language is chosen correctly, then enter your password [20:41] I have a 5.1 system plugged to an 5.1 sound card. I installed pulseaudio and made alsa routing everything to pulse. That is working very well for the front and rear speakers, but the subwoofer and center-speaker aren't working. Now I've found some kind of workaround. I can set the mic-input (where sub and center are plugged into) type via kmixer to "rear-center". because there is no hardware-way to resolve my problem (i tried every [20:41] combination), I'm searching for a way to tell pulseaudio, to output everything that is sent to the normal center speaker to the "rear-center" speaker. is that possible? maybe with the default channel map? [20:41] romeus: also if it's installed, it should work in other browsers as well such as Epiphany and Galeon. sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser by the way if it's just epiphany you get a game === MK-1 is now known as MK-BB [20:41] ive adblock but the ads are usually there - what can i do? [20:41] hi All [20:41] mMezquitale: That will make it work. This is a problem that only and -always- happens for the first user to start the computer after a reboot. [20:41] mmav, is trying to restore gnome settings to default, anyone knows how to do that using the command line? [20:41] erUSUL, it's actuall libmagick++-dev [20:41] mMezquitale: Logging out and in again without touching -anything- solves the problem. [20:42] romeus: well I think Java is like Flash when it comes to the browsers in Ubuntu [20:42] how do i uninstall byobu? [20:42] mMezquitale: What I need to know is how to fix this thing, because this is unusable. [20:42] sebsebseb: I tried to create a new profile, I get the same error LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied] [20:42] edoceo-fluorine_: ok [20:42] anyone know why one would install kubuntu 9.10 with kde 4.3 instead of just using kde 4.3? [20:42] i'm running Xubuntu 9.10 , at login it don't ask me to choose a language for the session, which package i need to install ? [20:42] romeus: ok well what about Java in both browsers I mentioned or at least one of them Epiphany ? === les_ is now known as les` [20:42] ah! nevermind i find it [20:42] sorry :-/ [20:43] isn't there a "restore to default" option somewhere in Ubuntu? === andref is now known as __andref__ [20:43] mmav: nope [20:43] meh [20:44] Spidler, the first user that logs in needs to look at the keyboard and language settings when you login, make sure youre doing that correctly, after you log in and the keyboard settings are still not correct go to "keyboard" applet and make sure youre using the correct one, it should be USA if you only use english [20:44] any channel for network-manager? [20:44] mmav, you mean just default gnome settings? [20:44] duffydack: yeah [20:44] mMezquitale: It's set correctly, I just realised that keyboard shortcuts work for the panel for the first login, so alt+f2 works, but alt+tab doesn't work. [20:45] the task bar is gone and whatnot [20:45] mMezquitale: alt+f2 > gnome-keyboard-properties shows the correct (and only) keyboard layout active. [20:45] Spidler, try using the left "alt" [20:45] fcuk112: in screen F9 for the settings menu? or sudo aptitude remove byobu [20:45] And I still cannot access anything except the mouse [20:45] mMezquitale: I can only use left alt, I do not have a right alt [20:46] Hi guys - I need a linux text editor with Find/word count feature - any ideas? Meaning that within a text file I search for "ABC" and the editor tells me the number of instances. In the Windows worlds Notepad++ does this. [20:46] ah i found out that i need a way to root the subwoofer to center and the center to the subwoofer... is that possible via pulseaudio? [20:46] mmav, I cant remember which folder but I read somewhere just deleting a folder (maybe .gnome/.gnome2) and logou/login resets.. better get some verifcation on this tho [20:46] what is the advantage of ubuntu over kde?

[20:47] ljpp: hmm not sure about the actsaul text editor, but maybe Abiword is what your after, it's like Microsoft Word, but without all the rubbish [20:47] Spidler, go to "keyboard" applet, go to "layouts", click on layout options, go to "key to choose 3rd level option" if Right Alt is chosen unclick it, if it is not chosen then in "layouts" tab click on "reset to defaults" and try unclickint right alt again [20:47] bluepuff12: GNOME and KDE are different. Different people like them for different reasons. GNOME tends to be simpler with regard to configuration and stuff, while KDE tends to give you more options, and can be more confusing [20:47] I got it out of someone's garbage, and it doesen't look all that bad. I just need some info on the pinouts of the cable comin' from it [20:47] sebsebseb, Ok - have to dig into the features of that one [20:47] k thanks [20:48] hopefully it doesen't use some kinda proprietary shit, or it'll be a pain.

[20:48] Flannel: much nicer than me - thx for the example :-) [20:49] mMezquitale: That still doesn't make windows clickable, and doesn't fix my alt+tab issues. [20:49] Hello [20:49] but then you reboot into windows and it connects instantly [20:49] Hello? [20:49] and then you reboot into ubuntu again and it works.. [20:49] I have a question [20:49] ljpp: Open Office has it's word proccesser and K Office as well, and I like mentioning Gnumeric with Abiword, so yes there's that for spreadsheets. Those two are light waight. [20:49] sorry about my language, but I still expect an answer from someone who can. [20:49] !asktoask [20:49] sebsebseb, I dont think Office Writer has that [20:49] mMezquitale: Please listen, Mouse events only work on the panel, if I attempt to click minimize/maximize/close buttons on a window it doesn't work, if I click on the desktop I don't get a right click menu. [20:49] mMezquitale: if I alt-tab, it doesn't give me a selection, it doesn't even attempt to switch things. [20:50] could no one give me a tipp, please? [20:50] Hello I have a question [20:50] mMezquitale: Clicks work on the panel, I can start 14 different terminals if I want, but I cannot swap between them.

I apologize [20:51] sebsebseb: tried to install epiphany browser, same problem, no java [20:51] hi everybody! i want to try ubuntu mobile on my iClone. can anybody lend me a hand? :) [20:51] !mobile [20:51] Learn more about Ubuntu Mobile at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded [20:51] ljpp: I am being told that gedit can do it [20:51] mMezquitale: please LISTEN. I CANNOT click on reset to defaults because I cannot navigate the window with the mouse. [20:51] nightshade: This channel is for Ubuntu support, not random hardware. Perhaps ##electronics would be a better place? Or I'm misunderstanding your question [20:51] ljpp: you can do that with vim... :%s/pattern//gn [20:51] ljpp: replace pattern with ABC or whatever you want to search for [20:52] is there a command to tell where the config directory is for things like apache/sendmail? [20:52] mMezquitale: did you find your checksums? [20:52] Spidler, you can use tab to traverse the options [20:52] Okay so I am installing ubuntu on my computer and currently I have Windows XP Pro on it, And I want to run both. My friend installed ubuntu and and he has a 15gb drive for xp, 15gb for ubuntu and a shared drive, so I want to keep my xp not reformat it. Who knows how I can do that in the installation? [20:52] ljpp: gedit and then tools > document statistics [20:52] trism, I'd need a GUI solution - I need to copypaste a chart from website, and count some items. A hockey season table to be more exact, for betting in fantasy league [20:52] going to reboot into ubuntu and hopefully wifi will "magically" start working again -_- [20:52] starcannon, yes, even tried the USB thumb drive, works like a charm!!!!!!!!!

Or you could try and find them via dpkg (dpkg -l | grep etc) [20:53] I dont have a mac [20:53] romeus: that's after an upgrade from 9.04? [20:53] It suggested a mac forum [20:53] sebsebseb: yes [20:53] romeus: it worked fine in 9.04? [20:53] yes [20:53] sebsebseb, I am not looking for a total wordcount but number of times a word, say "abc" appears in a document [20:53] Spidler, there should be only one Layout available "USA", can you click on "Layout Options" [20:54] TIZIM: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm and you'll be using the partition editor to resize the partitions, BACKUP important data before even thinking of doing this stuff though; else, wailing and gnashing of teeth WILL occur.

[21:03] /msg StArGaTe|DvD|001 XDCC SEND #11 [21:03] mrs, right click, that is [21:03] grub2 problem! kubuntu + xubuntu on lvm: cannot boot kubuntu after installing xubuntu (both encrypted, ext 4) lvm has 3 logical part. /boot (ext 3 not encrypted) /kubuntu /xubuntu/. I think my error was to install xubuntu's grub to /boot... I can chroot to kubuntu. Is there any way to make grub recognize both operating systems? [21:03] bthornton: check ~/.xsession-errors for what broke, and most probably gnome-settings-daemon was destroyed. [21:03] somebody knows a proxy for news servers ? Cause I want to make a server that everybody in the internal network to, so I don't need to give out the password of the external server [21:03] mrs, and New panel, not add panel === blocket is now known as blocky [21:03] Spidler: Thanks! [21:03] what could make sudo gconf-editor not work (not save the changes), when it was working normally a few minutes ago? [21:04] sebsebseb: Is it possiable to install Grub onto the main drive and Ubuntu onto the USB HDD? [21:04] how can i private chat with you starcannon [21:04] h3killa: of course [21:04] ? [21:04] !pm [21:04] Spidler: And you were right about what died...

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:04] How can I private chat? [21:05] bthornton: ok, oomkiller, or something farked? I haven't seen it fall out in years myself. [21:05] RenatoSilva, it's advised to use gksu instead of sudo for GUI-based applications, just saying (: [21:05] How can I private chat? Any1? [21:05] h3killa: really Ubuntu should be your main OS though, not Windows :) [21:05] Spidler: You need to install 9.10. :) You'll see lots of things fail that didn't used to fail.... [21:05] TIZIM: ./query is usually the way. [21:05] RenatoSilva, are you supposed to run gconf as root? It would save the settings for root account and not yours if they are user spesific. [21:05] TIZIM: /msg nick message [21:05] TIZIM: type /msg starcannon hi (the / must be the first character) === matteo is now known as Guest38366 [21:05] thankyou [21:06] bthornton: I've noticed. Currently I cannot get the mouse to interact with anything except for the top panel for the -first- logged in user. [21:06] bthornton: Second, restarting X, or similar and it all works perfectly. [21:06] Spidler: "The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error." and later "The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'." [21:06] but for the first login after a startup, it fails horribly.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:06] bthornton: I'm really starting to mutter obsceneties here as I cannot fathom what the -feck- would cause such an issue. [21:07] Spidler: Are you running 9.10? [21:07] Yarr [21:07] Okay, now i had the little things so i could switch to like 3 screens, how can i get that back? [21:07] Spidler: Bad answer, but I think that's your problem. I'm thinking of going back to 9.01 because of the number of totally unacceptable bugs I've seen in Karmic. :( What you describe seems to be par for the course... [21:07] rml_: right click on the panel [21:07] rml_: add to panel, and add it back ? [21:07] mrs, right click on the bottom bar and "Add to panel" [21:08] mrs, from the list choose "workspace switcher" [21:08] bthornton: unacceptatble bugs in Karmic? [21:08] bthornton: such as? [21:08] ljpp: sorry the only thing I could find was how to count words using Bash, if your interested http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/advanced_bash_scripting_guide/textproc.html [21:08] bthornton: yes there are problems, but that's what release notes are about and such [21:08] It doesn't look the same lol [21:09] you guys have been so helpful!!!! [21:09] !notes | bthornton Spidler [21:09] bthornton Spidler: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [21:09] mrs, not in the same place or... ? [21:09] bthornton: not the problem I have right now. [21:09] sebsebseb: I can't open those links because mouse input doesn't work. === mue_ is now known as mue === mike_ is now known as Guest41999 [21:10] sebsebseb: ranging from clicking things in Flash objects (in Firefox) not doing anything; clicking buttons in Java windows doesn't do anything (but the keyboard shortcuts work); somebody decided to enable power saving on my sound card driver and so I get random loud pops from my speakers; WIFI cuts out randomly when it never did before, etc, etc,... [21:10] No, its not in the same place, and its a whole different color, also, its only using half the panel [21:10] GNOME-DO takes 100% CPU randomly at login... [21:10] bthornton: well that's what you get I suppouse for running Ubuntu on hardware that hasn't really been made for Ubuntu [21:10] !hardware | bthornton Spidler [21:10] bthornton Spidler: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:11] the hardware worked on the past 2 -3 distros of Ubuntu--both my laptop and desktop [21:11] bthornton: as for Flash issues that's Adobe's fault, because it's closed source [21:11] bthornton: oh that kind of issue ah ok [21:11] and now both laptop and desktop have the same number of problems; only variable that changed was 9.01 --> 9.10 [21:11] bthornton: yes there's that, certain things that used to work in 9.04, don't in 9.10 [21:11] s/9.01/9.04 [21:12] mrs, weird.. though I don't know why you would want the workspace switcher to use more than ~10% of your panel [21:12] bthornton: put 9.04 on or do another distro, that should be better for you [21:12] yeah I know the flash plugin sucks [21:12] sebsebseb: This isn't ant issue in the factory installed edition, it's something that came with the upgrades so far. [21:12] Hmmm. So is this the place I'd go for some help with installation issues? [21:13] bthornton: I left 9.10, not, because of hardware issues though, well I had a little sound issue, I left, because I didn't like the new features that I actsaully see [21:13] Yeah, its in the middle of the panel and it wont let me drag it anywhere else [21:13] sebsebseb: I ran the alphas successfully and i've been filing bugs as I fit them, now I need help to actually trace down the source and issue behind this. [21:13] yes jesta === mike_ is now known as Guest85499 [21:13] jestallard [21:13] jsstallard: yes [21:13] sebsebseb: Out of curiosity, what features would those be? [21:13] bthornton: Mandriva 2010 :) that's what I am running now, but Ubuntu 10.04 should be good since it will be Long Term Support, and i'll virtual machine that starting with Alpha 1 [21:13] !tab | Samuli^ [21:13] Samuli^: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:14] guntbert, I know.. the tab failed meh! [21:14] Ahh. Ok! Hmmm. My installation completely hangs at 0% on the partition. I'm thinking it may have something to do with my harddrive size, but honestly I've no idea what to do. [21:14] oh yeah two more big gripes: no way to control services graphically anymore, and no way to play back Line-In through the default Gnome mixer. okay I'll stop bitching :) [21:14] bthornton: remember if they aren't LTS, they are kind of test releases in a way, LTS is like business quality, and non LTS isn't [21:14] well thank you so much Samuli^! [21:14] mrs, right-click on the switcher and untick "lock to panel" [21:14] then right-click and move [21:15] /server irc.oltreirc.net [21:15] bthornton, sebsebseb this is not a channel for general discussions :-) [21:15] Is there are command I can use to see what users are assigned to a specific group? [21:15] bthornton: the new boot up, the new GDM, which is rather fine in Fedora 11 and 12, not Ubuntu 9.10 though. the new icon theme was ok, but did I need that nah. Software Centre is ok, but do I need that, nah. etc. Sofware Centre will become an important part of Ubuntu though :) [21:15] guntbert: I know [21:16] to answer my own question, pidgin is totally righteous right out of the box [21:16] guntbert: So, any hints on how to debug my problem, since we want to get away from general chatting? [21:16] Nalf: getent group groupname [21:16] Thanks!:) [21:16] bthornton: other computer is on 9.04 :) I don't want 9.10 on there, but 10.04 in the future of course [21:16] how does pidgin compare to Empathy? [21:17] I don't really use IM much, but I guess ubuntu comes with empathy [21:17] i'm trying to get Karmic to see my samsung Rsch-350 phone as a removable storage device using usb but nothing happens when i plug in the phone [21:17] yeah maybe I should stop being so upgrade-happy and wait for the next LTS. it's just never burned me before with Ubuntu because each release up until now seems to have been a net improvement. [21:17] Noticed an IGMP v3 report issue on several machines running 9.04/avahi-daemon 0.6.23 and one machine running 9.10/avahi-daemon 0.6.25. Affected PCs are transmitting two IGMP joins for the same group (224.0.0.251). One packet is destined to the correct MAC/IP (0100.5e00.0016 / 224.0.0.22) and the other is incorrect (0100.5e00.00fb / 224.0.0.22). Is there a bug open on this issue? [21:17] Spidler: sorry - you are not able to use your mouse - right? I couldn't add anything beyond what has been said [21:18] Spidler: oh mouse lap top? [21:18] zerq: try them both and compare for yourself [21:18] Spidler: there's an issue with touchpads or something [21:18] guntbert: it moves, it clicks on the -panel- strace -p `pidof metacity` shows activity on clicks, (fd 11, a socket) [21:18] guntbert: classical mouse. [21:18] guntbert: if I log out / restart X and log in again, it works perfectly for all issues. [21:18] How do I find out what IR-controller I have in my laptop and what my remote controller is? [21:19] guntbert: So I'm assuming that it's a relict fault of either usplash or gdm that propagates forwards. [21:19] darkipod: yeah the features in 9.10 are hardly worth it, if 9.04 is working well for someone [21:19] anyone familiar with a problem that causes hanging at the partitioning phase of installation? [21:19] guntbert: But, how do I track down where the problem happens and how to report it, as of right now all bug reports are going into the void of null. [21:19] Good evening. [21:20] Spidler: you know more about that field than I do [21:20] i have no idea if the phone works in hardly [21:20] <^workman^> Hi all [21:20] darkipod: messaged you by mistake [21:20] bthornton: see above [21:20] i have bitpim but it does not see the phone [21:20] Finnish, maybe lspci would list that? I don't know. [21:21] guntbert: That's usually my problem. I've been working on such things previously, how do I get in touch with a maintainer in ubuntu? Seems that all there is on launchpad are trained "triaging" monkeys that just report everything they cannot reproduce as "needinfo" and file into forgetting. [21:21] sebsebseb: noted. looks like I "fixed it 'till it broke". ah well... [21:21] How do i make my mouse buttons 4 and 5 paste in xterms (and possibly other apps) like button 2 does? [21:21] My internet in Ubuntu is way way slower than it is in Windows. I'm not using wireless and this happens for all browsers and applications. Ubuntu auto-configured my internet for me. Any suggestions? [21:21] Samuli^: http://pastebin.com/d3ad93728 [21:21] the phone is seen in xp as a removable device [21:21] as soon as i plug it in [21:21] <^workman^> kaski: what video card do you have? [21:22] Karmic does nothing when I plug the phone in [21:22] darkipod: might have to set your phone to be in usb modem mode [21:22] by way of usb [21:22] kaski: check your /etc/resolve.conf , a fair chance is that you're looking up hosts slowly due to either a dud DNS server, or an ipv6 option passed to you that windows ignores [21:22] ^workman^: ATI 4870 HD [21:22] hello when i want to enter mysql command line i get in. but with phpmyadmin i am unable to login. I get all the time access denied. What is going wrong?

[21:30] darkipod: It may be worth you trying 9.04 [21:30] <^workman^> starcannon: I don't think so [21:31] darkipod: maybe you did and you upgraded to 9.10 and then got your issue? [21:31] hi, I am trying to mount an ext hdd via /etc/fstab but it keeps mounting as root, root, how can I make it rw to everyone ? [21:31] I have Grub2 booting to Windows and Mint. How can I add Ubuntu 9.10? [21:31] back in school they gave us Hummingbird Xceed to connect to the *nix boxes and run gui apps off the unix boxes. How does one do that in ubuntu.

[21:34] Mickster04: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [21:34] ]sorry yeah [21:35] somebody knows a proxy for news servers ? Cause I want to make a server that everybody in the internal network to, so I don't need to give out the password of the external server [21:35] jrib: with ubuntu, to ubuntu, and with windows to ubuntu [21:35] !vnc | Mainstay [21:35] Mainstay: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [21:35] hi guys. I just installed Ubuntu 8. I would like to know how I could change the look ofthe taskbar panel? I tried searching on google but couldn't find anything useful [21:35] Mickster04: yeah, its no problem, but theres 1500+ people in here, hard to keep track sometimes. Using one line makes it easier to see, and if you ask something, people who know will answer. [21:35] dupondje: I think it's called "running your own server" [21:36] Mainstay: though ubuntu to ubuntu, if you just want to run an app you can just use ssh with X forwarding [21:36] grawity: ? :) [21:36] well, i can log into a samba share with windows, i cant log in, but can access as guest on ubuntu, but when i run smbclient //server/shared is comes back with and error BAD_NETWORK [21:36] _NAME [21:36] vnc is a remote desktop client which AFAIK hummingbird is not the same thing. [21:36] dupondje: you could set up sabnzbd, have people upload a nzb file to the server, and have the downloads go to a shared directory [21:36] dupondje: You install a NNTP server yourself. Configure it to fetch posts from whatever you want, and to serve your LAN. [21:37] how do I run a program to bad sectors [21:37] <^workman^> Mainstay: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [21:37] dupondje: Btw, what do you need it for -- discussions or just downloads? :) [21:37] or which program rather [21:37] jrib: I've used vnc a lot. But it's not what I'm looking for. [21:37] Mainstay: what are you looking for then? [21:37] is there any command line tool to get a md5 hash for a given string ? [21:37] hy evry body [21:37] nvme: md5sum... [21:37] Neither is samba, let me rephrase. I want to forward x apps from an ubuntu box to my local box. Which may be either windows or ubuntu. [21:37] nvme: echo "something" | md5sum -- the simplest way. [21:37] grawity: but what NNTP server then? Need one that can 'proxy' :) no needs to save a single file imo. And its just for downloads indeed :p [21:37] hy weems [21:38] folks. [21:38] nvme: use echo -n "something" | md5sum, if you do not want to include the trailing newline. [21:38] Ben64: can you protect sabnzbd webaccess that people can only add NZB ? [21:38] nvme, grawity: note you may want to pass -n to echo so the newline isn't summed === sddsdsds is now known as dsadasdas [21:38] <^workman^> Mainstay: if your using windows, the you need to run a local Xserver like "Xming", then use "putty" with X11 forwarding enabled. [21:38] Can anyone tell me what I'd have to change to prevent every single window popping up in maximized by default? [21:38] nvme: Another way -- run python; import hashlib; print hashlib.md5("foo").hexdigest() [21:38] thanks [21:38] dupondje: I thought all NNTP servers do that. [21:39] <^workman^> Mainstay: if your using linux to linux, you can run ssh with "ssh -X hostname" [21:39] here is a curiosity: when I try to download or open ODT files from webDAV, it fails.

[21:45] Is it possible to get the gnome icons back? [21:46] <^workman^> Mainstay: do you have a console based ssh client installed? [21:46] well, i can log into a samba share with windows, i cant log in, but can access as guest on ubuntu, but when i run smbclient //server/shared is comes back with and error BAD_NETWORK_NAME [21:46] <^workman^> ManDay: hmm, then I'm not sure... [21:46] AlexJones: ok uhmm [21:46] Will Qt 4.6 be in Karmic backports, or should we install from a ppa? [21:46] ahh, oh jez. My noscript. [21:46] AlexJones: How did you install Flash? try another browser? [21:46] ^workman^: I had seen that. I would love to be able to edit files in the webdav directly, but I'd settle for being able to download a copy. [21:46] sebsebseb, my stupidity [21:46] The video is showing now! Awesome. Thx [21:46] ^workman^: like putty? [21:47] jrib, thanks for that heads up about -n, i was egtting confused why the hash was coming out all weird [21:47] <^workman^> greg_B: what are the permissions of the file? does the webserver have read access to it? [21:47] <^workman^> Mainstay: yes [21:47] kernco: QT is what KDE uses so try #kubuntu [21:47] Note that if i change the extension to DOC, I can suddenly drag and drop the file from WEBDAV to desktop [21:47] ^workman^: yep. [21:47] what are some things i can try to make booting in the ubuntu live cd work properly? [21:48] I would assume so, since i can get it to work by changing the extension, leaving the permissions alone [21:48] racecar56: install graphics card driver onto the CD?

[21:48] sebsebseb: as soon as desktop loads in ~4 seconds the screen blanks, then it does the loading bar screen and repeats for infinite [21:49] racecar56: which version of Ubuntu? [21:49] sebsebseb: 9.10 [21:49] sebsebseb: i can do an integrity check if you want., [21:49] racecar56: it could be to do with it, but probably not, but did you check that the ISO you used is a good one [21:49] racecar56: the actsaul ISO that is [21:49] sebsebseb: i can't burn! [21:49] sebsebseb: i got the CD from ubuntu [21:49] racecar56: uh?

[21:51] sebsebseb: 98000gtx+ [21:51] oops [21:51] 9800gtx+ [21:51] MatBoy: not sure [21:52] sebsebseb: yesterday [21:52] flickering login [21:52] @ commandline [21:52] MatBoy: and don't want to look at logs right now, but ok good it works whatever it was [21:52] I am not sure I'm explaining this well enough. [21:52] sebsebseb: damn you have a bad memory :) I hope you don't admin system :P [21:52] sebsebseb: ok it's checking [21:52] I recently installed a printer driver (for ubuntu 9.10)... apt kept telling me couldn't finish the install because it depended on another package... trying to install other package wouldn't work for some reason...ignored and printer works anyway. But when I try to install new apps it tells me package system is broke and wants to remove my printer drivers. [21:53] MatBoy: I have a good memory usaulley for things I helped with in here [21:53] MatBoy: well for a bit, then forget, I have helped many this year [21:53] sebsebseb: use it than :D [21:53] lol. [21:53] hehe indeed [21:53] <^workman^> greg_B: are you creating OO files and storing them on a server running webdav? Then trying to download them via webdav? [21:53] yes. that is the situation. [21:53] ...can I tell apt to ignore the errors some how? Print drivers are installed and working properly even though apt doesn't think so. [21:53] I have a bookmark for it under Places. === dcl is now known as Guest41738 [21:54] at work, that drive is simply mapped directly. === Guest41738 is now known as dcl_ [21:54] at home, i access the files through webdav [21:54] <^workman^> greg_B: from home are you also wanting to write to the file? [21:54] i can access JPG, DOC, PDF files just fine. ODT files are "not found" [21:55] it would be sufficient to download a copy, edit it, and send it back to the WebDav [21:55] <^workman^> greg_B: I bet the mime type of the odt isn't supported, but that's just a guess [21:55] well, i can log into a samba share with windows, i cant log in, but can access as guest on ubuntu, but when i run smbclient //server/shared is comes back with and error BAD_NETWORK_NAME [21:55] OK, what about the fact that the ODT files on my local (Karmic and Jaunty) machines work fine... [21:56] racecar56: I guess you got some hardware issue hmm? [21:56] are there different MIME definitions for webdav? [21:56] sebsebseb: i don't know [21:56] racecar56: I mean if your hardware is good for Ubuntu, the Live CD should work fine :) [21:56] sebsebseb: it's still checking [21:56] hi, I want to exclude one file-name from a packprocess. but I get an error: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1511606228 -- has anybody an idea? [21:56] <^workman^> greg_B: you could try adding "AddType doc/odt .odt" to httpd.conf [21:57] OK. I [21:57] racecar56: there's hardware that's been made and known to work with Ubuntu, and hardware that causes issues, and it seems that most of the people that come into this channel have the second type, because they are also using lap tops.

Figured it was something simple. [22:12] 9.10 refuses to boot, after the desktop comes up in about 4 seconds or so, it black-screens, then comes up with a loading bar screen and it keeps black-screening and loading bar screening for infinite, what's wrong? i tried all the boot parameters and they don't help [22:12] mikepett: and what he said. [22:12] oh, one thing I might mention: the first time I opened /etc/default/grub, it was blank.... [22:12] Where does GRUB keep the information for it's list order? [22:13] dAlfa89_: Grub or Grub 2? [22:13] dAlfa89_: Karmic or Jaunty? [22:13] Ginsu: also explained in the wiki-link ubottu gave you [22:13] Ginsu: please read it [22:13] sebsebseb, Grub1, Jaunty [22:13] LjL: wait... what? :) [22:13] ok [22:13] dAlfa89_: menu.lst you mean? [22:13] dAlfa89_: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:13] dAlfa89_: /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:13] mikepett: it's "-i" not "- i", as iceroot said. so dpkg --ignore-depends -i blah.deb [22:13] what I'm trying desperately to communicate here is that I've read this very article, and attempted what it suggests....with no success [22:14] sebsebseb, thank you (: [22:14] how can you keep grub2 from showing certain OS's or kernel versions? [22:14] dAlfa89_: np [22:14] LjL: ahhh, thought I had to follow depends with package name... I'll give it a shot [22:14] meh, need to reboot back into Karmic [22:14] dAlfa89_: that one is also known as Grub Legacy by the way [22:15] sebsebseb, I'll keep it in mind [22:15] dAlfa89_: and grub2 is grub 1.97 :) [22:15] LjL: doesn't work... says ignore-depends requires a legal package name. '-i' is not; [22:15] dAlfa89_: ok [22:15] So what is the difference between an ACL and the normal user:group permissions? [22:15] bfrederi: acl can store multiple users [22:15] LjL: maybe... --ignore-depends=packagename.deb -i packagename.deb? [22:15] mikepett: yes [22:16] bfrederi: and can be used for using windows-file-permissions [22:16] "solved" the recordmydesktop audio sync problem!! [22:16] bfrederi: more groups, groups in groups and so on, see man getfacl and man setfacl [22:16] <^workman^> grats mishoo. [22:16] I needed to specify "plughw:0,0" for the audio device [22:16] I ran sudo service gdm stop and then startxfce4 - did not give me the desired result, but the issue now is that the screen resolution only allows 800x600 as a maximum. Suggestions? [22:17] I'm running xubuntu 9.04 [22:17] iceroot: but the acl and the normal file owner methods are completely different from eachother? Is there a way for the normal ownership of files? [22:17] iceroot: *is there a name for the normal [22:17] sorry. [22:17] LjL: well, it still didn't ignore the dependency... it ran as if to install but still said error: dependency problems blah blah [22:17] bfrederi: acl are extended file permissions, they are also called POSIX extended ACLs [22:18] LjL: any ideas? [22:18] bfrederi: unix file permission [22:18] mikepett: note that the manpage says: " (actually, checking is performed, but only warnings about conflicts are given, nothing else). " [22:18] mikepett: so the fact itself that it gives you a message is normal [22:19] Hey guys. Is there a reason that flash is extremly slow? [22:19] pspfreak: yeah, we don't have the source code :p [22:19] bfrederi: you always have normal permissions and if you are using ls and there is a + at the end, its also using POSIX ACLs [22:19] * mishoo thinks ..oO( and Macromedia^WAdobe doesn't give a damn on Linux ) [22:20] pspfreak, which flash do you use / 64 or 32? === spartano is now known as ^Spartano^ [22:20] I have a 768MB Ram, 2.5GHZ, and 8MB video [22:20] 32 bit [22:20] for some reason ls -l on my usb devices, claims all access is for root, how can i add myself to the usb groups ? I need it for my virtual box [22:20] i got it from package manager [22:20] pspfreak, do you use the actual flash from adobe (non-free) or a different one? [22:20] iceroot: cool. so is the acl and the unix file permissions like a couple of indexes that exists somewhere on the filesystem to keep track of all the files' permissions? [22:20] pspfreak: I have 4GB RAM, 256 MB video, and it still sucks. [22:20] dassouki: #vbox [22:20] no, i mean in the browser like firefox [22:20] pspfreak: Flash in Firefox in Ubuntu can = right issues, but if you do it in another browser such as Epiphany or Galeon you will probably find it works well. sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser if you do just epiphany it will put on a game [22:21] (but still 32 bit; I've heard that the 64 bit version is a lot better, but I can't run it) [22:21] dassouki: you must add your user to vboxusers and relogin, also use vbox-nonfree version, the free version dont support usb [22:21] pspfreak: there's also Gnash and Swfdec as Flash alternatives [22:21] bfrederi: man stat [22:21] is safari good for flash?

[22:24] \some video that is [22:24] BluesKaj: wait, are you saying that Firefox, and not Flash for Linux, is the issue? [22:24] btw, i'm on xubuntu [22:24] <^workman^> Flash also doesn't work with the GPU of the video card, so performace will take a huge hit until next year when Adobe fixes it.

[22:27] XORG shot up to about 90 for a secound [22:27] while I was just switching windows [22:27] ddelony, you need to edit the umm... /etc/something file and update grub after that.. check out the link [22:27] screw apt... might as well use rpm :P [22:28] is that normal?

[22:29] mikepett, sorry to hear [22:29] pspfreak: Off topic really, but I personally think it would be better for most web users to be using Firefox most of the time :) since it is the most used after that horrible default browser on Windows, I think you know the one I mean. well IE8 is an improvement they say. If enough web users use a decant browser, the web would improve a lot.

Package works fine but I can't install anything else because it wants to remove the orignal package that it thinks has unmet dependency [22:32] Samuli^: while WTF is used to describe linux a lot (way too much, in my opinion), it's possible to replace that with other, more useful phrases :) [22:32] squircle: indeed at that [22:32] mikepett. did you try just reinstalling the package? [22:32] squircle, sure.. I was just talking about acronyms. :P [22:33] squircle: how it can be replaced, by something better, it only gets used every now and again though [22:33] like "GNU" === porkpie_ is now known as porkpie [22:33] Samuli^: GNU/Linux [22:33] Samuli^: yes... it's a .deb package, that may be the problem. I installed with dpkg --ignore depends not realizing that dpkg would ignore but apt would still not ignore the dependency issue [22:33] Samuli^: GNU/Hurd [22:33] Samuli^: yeah, i get it. but WTF/noob, those kind of things are not in general alignment with the language rules (which I don't make) [22:34] GNU as in acronym... GNU is Not Unix [22:34] is there anyone actually running hurd on the planet? [22:34] wtf [22:34] !noob | Samuli^ squircle [22:34] just an example that you can't talk about linux without acronyms.. sometimes recursive ones [22:34] I hate Grub2 [22:34] Samuli^ squircle: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

It simply prints out the raw content of a text file. You have to completely rewrite it if you want syntax highlighting (or eventually parse its output, but only when it is used to display the content of the file), but I think the effort is worthless if you have other tools at your disposal, like vim, nano and a lot of GUI editors which support syntax highlighting.

I'm still running 8.04 personally [23:14] thanks [23:14] tehdave: 10.04 [23:14] !lts | tehdave [23:14] tehdave: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [23:15] * pipegeek does sudo apt-get purge xsplash [23:15] tehdave: you can upgrade directly to it when it's time for 8.04, however you won't get Ext4 or Grub 2 on upgrade [23:15] sebsebseb, jrib: Awesome. Thanks. [23:15] sebsebseb, kostkon : thanks [23:15] tehdave: from not for above [23:15] kostkon: yeah I did try out all the settings but I either got some sort of signal coupled with strange sound output or okay sound output with no capture at all [23:15] tehdave: np [23:16] sebsebseb, I was planning on taking a snapshot of my packages, backing up important files, and just doing a fresh install.

[23:17] O__o: do your files end in 't' before the '.'? [23:17] !ext4 > tehdave [23:17] jrib, thx [23:17] O__o: like an example file is: math2-1t.tex or math2-1.tex?

[23:17] tehdave: I would do a fresh install either... ;) Jumping from 8.04 to 10.4 means new grub, new xorg, hal-> device kit, pulseaudio and so on ... ;) [23:17] hmm cant find the setting on firefox now to import profiles lol >.< [23:17] sorry, sdb1* [23:17] kostkon: I did try out both Microphone 1 and 2 in the Input tab but get no signal ...it did work in the previous Ubuntu version however [23:17] O__o: before it was looking for the $it variable [23:17] * tehdave glares at ubottu. "Making me go to google to look up the differences..." [23:17] !md5sum > tehdave [23:17] tehdave, please see my private message [23:17] Eraldo, another thing you could try is to check your hardware volume levels. try installing gnome-alsamixer, for example [23:18] jrib, ok [23:18] tehdave: 10.04 is not out yet, and I can rip apart the releases since 8.04 and say what is good and bad about them, I don't mind doing that in pm, if you really want me to [23:18] Eraldo, then, definitely, you need to check the levels of your inputs in gnome-alsamixer [23:18] mark__: do you run fdisk as root? (sorry if this sounds stupid, but I had to ask..) [23:19] mishoo : yes, I sudo'd it.

[23:19] sebsebseb, Nah, I got my current system running just fine, really don't feel like jumping around the short-term releases (Incremental? non-LTS, whatever), planning on just updating with the LTS releases as they come (Every 2 years, it seems. I bet they actually have a real schedule but I never bothered to check) [23:19] Eraldo, no, don;t worry ;) [23:19] Eraldo, pulseaudio sits on top of alsa [23:20] tehdave: yes 10.04 and then the next one will be 12.04 [23:20] tehdave: unless delayed or something, you know like the first LTS, or haven't you been using Ubuntu for long enough? [23:20] what is ubuntu's tool for managing system services, starting, stopping, etc?

See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [23:42] minimec: i will try soon [23:42] i installed win7 and lost ubuntu, then i ran the live cd and did, the grub tutorial ie: grub setup (hd0) and now ubuntu is back but i lost win7 [23:42] fretegi_part_2, use software like mythtv, moovida, xbmc etc etc [23:42] can anyone direct me to understand how the terminal is configured? My lines in mutt are not coherent, but when I set my environment variable to TERM=vt100, the lines are fine, but then this only works in xfce's terminal, not in xterm, I am confused.. [23:42] <^workman^> !mythbuntu | fretegi_part_2 [23:42] fretegi_part_2: please see above [23:42] minimec: thank you very much for helping [23:42] hey guys i have a ebook that is a .exe and uses ebook viewer. I can open it under wine however when i click on chapters It does not open. I dunno what is wrong so I thought about extracting the .exe. However, I have had trouble extracting .exe. I've tried cabextract, p7zip and unshield [23:42] i mean how does this work? so say i have a ripped dvd on ubuntu, how do i play it on a tv, ? [23:43] alaqsory: no problem... [23:43] Dasda: where did you get it from? [23:43] no one got any ideas i guess >.< [23:43] i did a dist-upgrade (karmic) just now, got a new xserver-org-video-intel (2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2) and now music from rhythbox "scratches" everytime i switch windows or scroll in a browser. halp! [23:43] squircle: vgsports [23:43] Hello folks. Please, somebody here have experience running Ubuntu on a Apple Mac? It runs well? How's the Hardware compatibility/recognition? [23:43] the ebook views fine under windows [23:43] anyone? [23:43] Hello, I am using 9.10 and I have wifi as well as ethernet working. I was wondering if there is any way to prevent network manager from bringing up my wifi if my ethernet is connected. [23:44] Invasion: gksudo gedit /file/that/you/want/to/change [23:44] kernel_script: i'm running ubuntu on my MBP right now :) [23:44] However, when I unplug the wired ethernet, I would like the wifi to then come up. [23:44] !root > Invasion (Invasion, see the private message from ubottu) [23:44] squidly, it runs well? How's the hardware compatibility? [23:45] ops, wrong person sorry xD [23:45] kernel_script: (everybody thinks it's squidly lol) it runs very, very well, and everything's compatible 100% [23:45] it didnt help lol, ive set a root password but im not looking to do something through terminal, just want to know how i can log in as root to change a few files in etc then log back out [23:45] btimby: That should be default behaviour. If not, you should be able to choose that in the preferences of the network manager [23:46] I can't find it, right now it connects both [23:46] hey, i upgraded my windows and I need to re setup my grub2 bootloader... how? [23:46] i have a small problem with starting tor, can anyone help me? this is the log http://www.pastebin.ca/1697418 [23:46] Invasion: You don't need to enable the root account to do that. Just `sudo -i` will get you a root shell [23:46] squircle, oh thanks man : ) Great : D [23:46] !grub | bcurtiswx [23:46] bcurtiswx: 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. [23:46] ciao [23:46] meaning can't find any option, I can uncheck "connect automatically" for wifi connections, but I do want it to connect automatically when wired is unavailable... [23:46] but will that let me copy and paste a few folders into the etc ? [23:46] its karmic [23:46] !it | giovanni [23:46] !grub2 [23:46] giovanni: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:47] kernel_script: if you need any more help with the mac stuff (even though it's awesomely documented on the ubuntu help wiki), just let us know :) [23:47] cus i done the "sudo -i" and it still dont let me edit my etc folder [23:47] so anyone able to help me with ebook problem I have? [23:47] Invasion: Oh, you *definately* don't want to log in to the GUI as root. If you insist, however, go re-lock the root account (sudo passwd -l root) and then hit alt-f2 and in the box that comes up, `gksu nautilus` that will give you a root nautilus window. [23:47] !patience | Dasda [23:47] Dasda: 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. [23:47] btimby: I guess, that the wifi connection is set as default. [23:48] Invasion: Be *very* careful with that, and close it as soon as you're finished. [23:48] thanks [23:48] :) [23:48] Dasda: if it's some obscure executable, try it in wine.... but i'm no expert [23:48] squircle: i ran it in wine. However it opens the home page of ebook. When i click on chapters then it does not load anything but a blank page [23:49] Dasda: did it open in a browser or something? [23:49] c'è qualcuno? [23:49] minimec: is it possible to change the default? [23:49] !it | giovanni [23:49] giovanni: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:49] squircle: no, it uses a app called ebook viewer [23:49] minimec: wired=eth0, wifi=eth1 [23:49] Dasda: problem with "ebook viewer" is that it's very generic :P [23:49] Dasda: what was the source again? [23:50] squircle: i would be happy by either viewing the book or extracting .exe to look at files [23:50] the source was vgsports [23:50] squircle, thanks man. Sure, i will read and already read some of it. I'm asking because i never used a mac and i'm thinkin about geting one in the future, but i want to run Ubuntu on it, so i wanted to know of someone that have this setup if it everything works fine, or if existe major problems etc. [23:50] it is a ebook that includes playbooks of teams in madden nfl 10(video game) [23:50] kernel_script: I use OS X and ubuntu side by side (both on macs lol) === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [23:50] Dasda: just a sec, i'm taking a look [23:51] k [23:51] for the firey cursor enable "Enable Show Mouse" in Accessibility [23:51] i'm kinda confused about what differentiates the add/remove programs dialog and the synaptic package manager [23:51] start it with [23:51] woooo! [23:51] squircle: want a link to the source? u can download and see it? [23:51] they seem to have entirely different sets of entries [23:51] Dasda: nah, i don't need it [23:51] oh my god ubottu is dead! [23:51] Hello there. I try to compile vlc player from source on Karmic Koala, but get error "Could not find libavcodec or libavutil", although i have these libraries in /usr/lib/ [23:51] squircle, cool : ) I'll probably run the too of them too, Mac OS looks very nice, for a proprietary OS of course. [23:52] kernel_script: ;) [23:52] its about time ubottu died [23:52] squircle, two* [23:52] urello: do you not want to install the pre-configured package? [23:52] urello: download the dev headers [23:52] Promit: programs use libraries of code, each in its own package. Synaptic shows everything, while add/remove just shows the main programs [23:53] Hi I dont know if anyone can help me or not but Im having some keyboard and sound issues.. it seems some of the keys of my keyboard are being displayed incorrectly ie: the question mark is appearing as É. my other problem is that my headset isnt working, i can hear sound coming from the monitor and the headset when i have it plugged into the jack, and the microphone doesnt work at all. i cant find solutions anywhere. could it be a hardwa [23:53] re compatibility issue [23:53] btimby: the eth-thing depends on the wifi driver. Could it be, that Ubuntu thinks, that you r wifi card is a ethernet card? Hmmm... I never had your problem. My Notebook only connects to ethernet, when I plug the cble and boot. Try to delete the wifi connection and reboot. then setup wifi again. [23:53] so the repository maintainers decide that X package goes into Add/Remove or not? [23:53] Dasda: it appears as though your ebook viewer program requires IE [23:53] squircle: as i understood, dvb support is not availble in pre-configured package [23:53] Dasda, do you have the wine-gecko package installed? [23:53] Promit: someone does [23:53] kostkon: not sure. how can i check? [23:54] Dasda: what I would do is install ie6 and gecko using winetricks (http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks) [23:54] Dasda, eh in synaptic [23:54] dasda: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep wine-gecko [23:54] Dasda: yeah, what i said and what kostkon said are equivalent [23:54] ok [23:54] im searching for gecko in synaptic [23:54] Dasda, or in a terminal give: apt-cache policy wine-gecko [23:55] Dasda, i just double-checked that the package is indeed called wine-gecko [23:55] gregL: is this a package? [23:55] I have wine-gecko installed guys but not wine1.2-gecko. Does it make a difference? [23:56] Dasda, which wine do you have? wine or wine1.2 [23:56] Dasda: what version of wine are you using? [23:56] Kostkon: 1.1.32 [23:57] squricle: 1.1.32 [23:57] squircle: Well I think his real question is. Would I prefer wine 1.0 or 1.2? ;) [23:57] Dasda, then you have wine1.2? could you check? [23:57] What program would i use to backup my / ? [23:57] minimec: exactly. 1,0 is just soooo outdated. [23:57] kostkon: sure np, how do i check though? I found that is is by going to "configure wine" and clicking on "about" [23:57] Dasda: So we decided, that you should install the 1.2 version ;) [23:58] Dasda, i mean the package wine1.2. check in synaptic [23:58] squircle, are macs stable? That's the main motive i'm thinking about get one in the future, and leave PC world forever. PC, in all my life, every fail in something, some part of it become imcopatible with another, or new hardware piece is imcompatible with the old one (when upgrading), or it just fails. With no exception, PC always fails, i wonder if what they say about mac is true: Macs are very well integrated hardware, and very stable for years. [23:58] Dasda, if yes, you could remove wine-gecko and install wine1.2-gecko [23:58] <^workman^> Stargazer: check out sbackup [23:58] Kostkon: no i dont have wine 1.2 package installed [23:58] Dasda, aha. ok [23:58] <^workman^> !sbackup [23:58] <^workman^> hmm [23:59] <^workman^> !backup [23:59] kernel_script: for me, it's the great hardware. i love my MBP like nothing else; they're tough, well-build, and very fast. OS X is even more stable than ubuntu (i know, i was surprised too) [23:59] should i install wine 1.2? and wine1.2-gecko? [23:59] ^workman^: ubottu is offline [23:59] Dasda: yes. [23:59] Dasda: Update from 1.0 to 1.2. Looks that 1.0 is quiet old... [23:59] Dasda, could you give this in a terminal just for testing: iexplore.exe http://www.google.com/ [23:59] Dasda: they won't give you any help if you're running 1.0, it's soooo old [23:59] Dasda, does it open a browser window? [23:59] no says command not found
