[00:00] hey. anyone know how i can set a certain anout of ram to a user [00:00] restrict them from going over 300mb? [00:00] Dasda, hmm, like this?: iexplore http://www.google.com/ [00:00] how do i remove this wine before i install new one or will it do it automatically? [00:00] kostkon: yes [00:01] how do I find what version of OpenSuse i'm on? (not using umane -a) [00:01] Hi, I'm looking for someone familiar with xindy. Is there any ?? Xindy is part of LaTeX [00:01] Dasda, did it open a browser window? [00:01] o.o [00:01] squircle, thanks for answer. I see, it might be, since Ubuntu risk more for more faster innovation, more bugs, but more fast innovation and improvement. I'm judging mac os x take longer to release a new version, so it probalby more stable, like a Debian or so. [00:01] Dasda: If you choose the wine 1.2 package for install in synaptic, it will uninstall 1.0... [00:01] minimec: thanks doing it now [00:01] kostkon: no it said command not found in terminal [00:01] <^workman^> !sbackup [00:02] Wow. This is like standing in a giant crowd of people... I've never seen an IRC server so busy. === everthonVS is now known as valadao [00:02] kernel_script: well, Apple does update the unix utilities quite often, and OS X is rather linux/unix-like. what I suggest doing if you need any utils that are open source or linux-availble, install darwinports. i did, and i can run everything i could on ubuntu and more [00:02] Dasda, hmm. then it's not working even though you have wine-gecko installed. yeah, try with wine1.2 and wine1.2-gecko [00:02] hey. anyone know how i can set a certain anout of ram to a user. restrict them from using more than 300? [00:02] <^workman^> mess: when your distro is on top of distrowatch.com.... your doing something right! [00:03] apparently so, ^workman^ [00:03] Scottybuk: try researching ulimit === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:03] thanks squircle [00:03] :) [00:04] kostkon: just finished getting wine1.2 will give it a try now [00:04] Dasda, and wine1.2-gecko? [00:04] squircle, oh thanks for the tip. That looks great : ) [00:05] kernel_script: it's as simple as sudo port install ________ instead of sudo aptitude install _____ [00:05] kostkon: yes, it chose that automatically once i chose wine1.2 [00:05] Dasda, ok [00:05] what can I use to access .axx file in Karmic .axx file are encrypted file made with AxCrypt [00:06] can anyone think of a reason why my internet browser doesn't seem to want to open pages, but other applications are fine accessing the internet? [00:06] I have a very slow Internet connection in Ubuntu compared to Windows. Any suggestions? [00:06] <^workman^> darkipod: Does AxCrypt run on Linux/Mac? [00:06] <^workman^> No, not directly it does not. However, some users have been successful in running AxCrypt under Wine, the Windows emulator. [00:07] ^workman^: i was about to say the same thing; yay, google. [00:07] no windows only [00:07] darkipod: WINE [00:07] squircle, i see. Mac os x looks fun to play with too, Unix based right? I think i'll probalby feel home hehe, how's the file system? There is a root / and main directories like usr var etc too? [00:07] dude said maybe wine can run it but I have no clue how to use wine [00:07] anyone can help me about network-manager? >_> [00:07] kernel_script: OS X is based on FreeBSD (I think) [00:07] kastkon: done getting 1.2 but that commang still not working [00:07] kernel_script: i'll give you an overview in detail via privmsg [00:08] timClicks, i see, i read something about that [00:08] Does anybody know how to set up network-manager to connect only the first interface that works? wired or wifi? right now it is bringing up both when I boot up. I would like wired only unless eth0 is unavailable and only then bring up wifi (eth1). [00:08] anyone can help me about network-manager? >_> [00:08] <^workman^> darkipod: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [00:09] I have a very slow Internet connection in Ubuntu compared to Windows. Any suggestionsÉ [00:09] kaski: this is odd. how are you connected to the net? [00:10] timClicks: I'm neither a linux or internet expert, but its a wired connection [00:10] btimby: you want to look for NetworkManager [00:10] btimby: in google [00:10] btimby: that capitalisation is important [00:10] DCC LIST [00:10] squircel and kostkon, i have same problem with the ebook with wine 1.2 [00:11] Dasda, :/ [00:11] kaski: That is strange. wired connections shouldn't be a problem... [00:11] btimby: you can make a cheap workaround by setting them to manually connect if you want, but i'm not sure about scripting the app [00:11] 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 [00:11] re compatibility issueÉ Ive tried two different headsets & keyboards.. same results [00:11] <^workman^> kaski: what is running slow? [00:11] when i turn OFF button for wlan0(internal)...the wlan1(external) will stop and will be off too, if wlan0 is ON...wlan1 will start , what the hell?! [00:11] Dasda, you could try to install the real ie, using ies4linux [00:11] minimec: i have no idea either, it auto-configured the internet for me [00:11] kostkon: that command to open google.com doesnt work either [00:11] Nim_: which font are you using? [00:11] ^workman^: well for one, google takes 15 seconds to load in firefox and epiphany [00:11] !ies4linux [00:12] !test [00:12] im sorryÉ [00:12] Nim_: can you go to Applications > Accessories > Character Map [00:12] ^workman^: although, downloading updates and being in IRC isnt bad [00:12] i am there [00:12] kaski: Did you change the router recently or is it the first time you run linux behind this router? [00:12] Dasda, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ies4linux [00:13] minimec: i just recently reinstalled ubuntu, ive had previous versions with the same problem (9.04) [00:13] same router === valadao is now known as everthonVS [00:13] !ies4linux [00:14] kaski: Hmmm... Try to set MTU to 1492 for your connection, like sudo ifconfig etho MTU 1492 [00:14] kostkon: i've found the ebook viewer it uses to open the book. its called ebook pro available at www.ebookpro.com [00:14] sure ill try it [00:14] Dasda, lets see [00:14] Anyone know of a modern mail client that actually supports ordinary features like IMAP-Idle and mapping of IMAP folders like "Trash", "Sent" etc. ? Evolution don't [00:14] kaski: eth0 ;) [00:14] SlimG: Thunderbird [00:15] <^workman^> slimg: thunderbird baby [00:15] when i turn OFF button for wlan0(internal)...the wlan1(external) will stop and will be off too, if wlan0 is ON...wlan1 will start , what the hell?! [00:15] that didnt seem to make a difference [00:15] how long can try win7 in virtualbox? [00:15] minimec: hold on, it seems to have helped [00:16] timClicks it says I am using sans I think at least that is what is selected [00:16] Dasda, not much info on that page :/ [00:16] squircle & ^workman^ : And there's no other alternatives? [00:16] can i try it by many times? [00:16] this might sound stupid but how the hell do i get ulimit? [00:16] SlimG: i've never bothered to look; i just love thunderbird [00:16] Scottybuk: just head over to Synaptic and search for it [00:16] minimec: it is better but it still feels slower than windows [00:16] <^workman^> SlimG: dido what squircle said [00:17] kostkon i can dcc you the ebook if u want. it is 1.8megabytes. just to see if it my ubuntu setup or ubuntu as whole [00:17] Dasda, i don;t think it's necessary [00:17] <^workman^> SlimG: check out http://email.about.com/od/linuxemailclients/tp/Linux-UNIX-Email-Clients-fo---.htm at the top of the list is... you guessed it "Thunderbird" woot! [00:18] Dasda, i mean, it just doesn't work with wine. try installing ie if you want [00:18] minimec: yup its definitely faster now [00:18] kaski: Check the configuration of your router. That is rather a router configuration problem, then a linux problem... The hardware seems to be recognized and working... === everthonVS is now known as valadao [00:19] hey nytek_ [00:19] Leoneof`: yo [00:19] minimec: okay thanks for your help anyway, at least its bearable now [00:19] nytek_: remember my question? any solution ? :/ [00:19] kaski: The problem is now, that the next time you boot it will be set on 1500 again... :( As I mentioned, check the router configuration [00:19] ^workman^: Thanks, I'll check out Sylpheed and Balsa [00:19] minimec: why is that so? [00:19] Leoneof`: refresh me? [00:20] kostkon: yea trying to figure out how to install ie. I would be happy if i could extract the exe file too cause there is probably html files inside if it uses ie [00:20] nytek_: it is about gnome-network-manager... when i turn OFF button for wlan0(internal)...the wlan1(external) will stop and will be off too, if wlan0 is ON...wlan1 will start :/ [00:20] Dasda, ok. check the page i gave you: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ies4linux [00:20] What is the purpose of the Ubuntu Start Page in Firefox? [00:20] Dasda: why do you want ie? :/ [00:21] Squideshi: to promote ubuntu? [00:21] nytek_: To those already using Ubuntu? :) [00:21] dcc get [00:21] <^workman^> Squideshi: just incase you forget what distro you are using [00:21] kaski: Because 1500 is default setting. Your router is configured for 1492. Change that on the router... [00:21] kostkon yea following that page but the website for ie4linux is getting blocked for some reason [00:22] minimec: so i should go into the router settings using firefox? [00:22] Dasda, hmm [00:22] Squideshi: well, the start page just gives you more information about ubuntu. community, forums, guides, updates.. [00:22] Leoneof`: that sounds like a configuration issue [00:22] kostkon: that page tells me to google ies4linux [00:22] ^workman^: Doesn't System > About Ubuntu take care of that? [00:23] Leoneof`: its got me stumped, but what are you essentially trying to do? [00:23] <^workman^> Squideshi: yes, but quick links on the startpage are nice for people new to linux and ubuntu [00:23] Dasda, yeah [00:23] mt friend wants me to do a re-install for him, he gummed his computer up real good with a virus and probably tons of spyware. when he turns his computer on all he get is a big message about a virus. his computer is smoked at this point. i told him to ditch windows and go for ubuntu. i am hoping ubuntu will wipe thie HD clean and rid him of the virus. i have done several ubuntu/xubuntu/linux distro installs for myself, but hav [00:23] e no experience with virus'. can the virus stop me from installing ubuntu? [00:23] Is there a resource anyone can point me to on how to set up a Ubuntu "home media server"? [00:23] ^workman^: You would think there would be links on the desktop for that. [00:23] <^workman^> Squideshi: Most of the time, people won't use the help button... =) [00:24] kostkon, figured a way around getting ies4linux now [00:24] kaski: I would do so. Your router blocks the communication ports of the tcp protocolthat checks and handles the data parts (the missing 8 bits) [00:24] kostkon: any way to extract the exe? [00:24] <^workman^> Squideshi: Hmm, you could submit a feature request to the ubuntu folks. See what they have to say... =) [00:24] hello. does someone knows how i can change the resolution of my secound screen (nvidia twinview) in cli? [00:24] guys, how to refresh the audio output? [00:25] nytek_: i've laptop with internal wlan0, it is useless because i want to connect network very far, so i use external antenna to usb wlan1 [00:25] <^workman^> Squideshi: for me, linux is linux.... I've been using it way to long to really notice all of the little bits of branding.. I just setup my systems how I need them and i'm off and running =) [00:26] is there a standalone flash player for ubuntu? [00:26] Dasda, er, no. you said you have already tried to extract it with cabextract and on windows, i assume [00:26] ^workman^: I thought I would discuss a little before submitting any sort of official request. I like to give the opportunity for others to present a good argument for why things are the way they are. [00:26] Leoneof`: ok, well you're going to have to use terminal to connect to that "very" far network [00:26] Dasda, so, i don;t really know any other way you could try [00:27] itilious: never heard of that, why do you want that? [00:27] kostkon: yes cabextract doesnt work. i havent tried to extract on windows cause it was working fine on it [00:27] i dont really know where else to look, is there anyone who can help me or point me in the right directionÉ [00:27] ^workman^, how do i know if sbackup is done ? [00:27] Dasda, :/ [00:27] can i take a virus infected windows computer and install ubuntu and rid the computer of the virus and install ubuntu at the same time? [00:27] Nim_: can you repost the problem, i didnt see it [00:27] !helpme | Nim_ [00:28] Nim_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [00:28] 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 [00:28] re compatibility issueÉ [00:28] I've got an interesting issue: My built in sound was working a few days ago on my old computer but now its not. The sound app shows dummy output, but cat /proc/asound/devices shows a bunch of items [00:28] nytek_: plus... the program wicd is work fine, but i'd like to use gnmoe-network-manager, i hope this will be fixed next version :| [00:28] Nim_: what? [00:28] Nim_: system -> preferences -> keyboard ensure your keyboard layout is correct [00:28] ChogyDan, found swfdec flash player would that work to play standalone interactive swf files? [00:28] I need to create a launcher on the desktop that launches a file in this manner: "./pystromo-remap.py -m default.map" I can't figure out how to write the command line entry in the launcher to point to the correct folder which is /home/angel/.config/pystromo. Can someone please tell me the correct way to write this command in the launcher? [00:28] How can i make the sound app see my built in sound? [00:28] ive tried mfiddling with those settings but it seems nothing helps [00:29] Leoneof`: what is the benefit of using gnome network manager over wicd? [00:29] DisguisedAngel: why would you want to run "./whatever.py"? just give the full path [00:29] right now im using the razer lycosa.. i thought it might be a compatibility issue so i tried my compaq keyboard but that had the same result.. [00:29] itilious: mmm, probably not. I think that is an opensource thing, not the adobe flash. Can't you open it in firefox? [00:29] nope, and yes swfdec did play the file [00:30] its an interactive pretest for some study material ;) [00:30] Nim_: it has to be your keyboard layout, follow what jrib said. [00:30] ok i will try that [00:30] LordQuackstar: 1.) sudo apt-get install pavucontrol 2.) open pavucontrol and play around ;) [00:30] jrib, I don't understand your question... I try putting in the path and then the file name, here like this "/home/angel/.config/pystromo/./pystromo-remap.py -m default.map" and it doesnt' work. I don't know how to write the command in the launcher correctly. [00:30] very good then! [00:30] nytek_: gnome-network-manager can use both wlan0, and wlan1... but wicd is for one wlan [00:30] minimec: I will try that [00:31] DisguisedAngel: do you understand what "./" is for in "./pystromo-remap.py"? [00:31] Leoneof`: didnt you juse say they were both working via wicd? [00:31] Leoneof`: what version of ubuntu are you running? [00:31] anyone else have trouble viewing ebooks in ubuntu? [00:31] jrib, I think I do, but I am new to linux. I thought it just runs the pystromo-remap.py script/program. [00:31] Dasda: no [00:31] does someone knows how i can change the resolution of my secound screen (nvidia twinview) in command line? [00:31] nytek_: sometimes i want to disconnect wlan0 , [00:32] Dasda: In what format and with what application? [00:32] ChogyDan: 9.10 [00:32] ah i see [00:32] Leoneof`: ahh i see [00:32] Squideshi: exe and with ebookpro [00:32] dcc [00:32] \dcc [00:32] \dcc help [00:33] \dcc help [00:33] DisguisedAngel: . is your current directory. The current directory isn't in the default PATH so if you want to execute a file in your current directory, you need to provide the path. So for example, say you want to run /a/b.py: You could, if you are *anywhere*, just run /a/b.py. Or if you were in /a, you could run ./b.py. Or if you were in / you could just run a/b.py [00:33] DisguisedAngel: so that tells you you don't need the '.' in the first part of your command. The second thing you need to take care of is this "default.map". I assume that's a file somewhere. [00:34] Dasda: The ebook is in EXE format? [00:34] minimec: Pulseaudio tries to use dummy output as well... [00:34] Squideshi: yes, thats why i wouldnt mind it if i could even get the exe to unpack but cant even do that [00:35] i am afraid im having no luck with either keyboard.. the razer lycosa i can understand not working but the other i just dont get. my layout is set correctly.. [00:35] jrib, ah, I understand. That clears up a lot. So the command should look like this "/home/angel/.config/pystromo/pystromo-remap.py -m /home/angel/.config/pystromo/default.map" [00:35] !list [00:35] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [00:35] Hey, in KDE, how do I localize a widget to one particular desktop? [00:35] DisguisedAngel: yes, that should work unless the script requires something from your environment [00:35] LordQuackstar: check the settings there. That gives you a lot of possibilities. You should be able to send the sound of your software to every sound device you want. [00:35] I have a SOHO desktop widget I dont want on my first Desktop but want it on my second [00:36] minimec: Hardware Outputs devices shows nothing [00:36] brb [00:37] jrib, thanks alot for your help! That worked perfectly and explains a lot to me on how to create a launcher in the future. [00:38] DisguisedAngel: no problem. By the way, if you want to do something complicated, it's usually easier to write a short bash script and then just have the launcher run that [00:38] LordQuackstar: That is bad. F2 gstreamter-properties ... and check the hardware there. Could be that your soundchip is not working properly. [00:38] is there any way to localize a plasma widget to 1 specific desktop?? [00:38] minimec: One sec, i'm doing another restart just to make sure that program installed properley [00:38] Dasda: EXE files are usually for Microsoft operating systems. Where did you get the file? [00:39] jrib.. i have tried fiddling with the keyboard layout settings.. nothing has changed.. I think I am doomed forever lol.. [00:39] Squideshi: vgsports [00:39] Nim_: yep, don't know what else to suggest [00:39] thank you though [00:39] Squdeshi i can give u the link for download. it is only 1.8megs [00:40] Dasda: Don't give me the link for download. Give me the link for the webpage that has the link for download. === valadao is now known as valadao_bhz [00:42] Squideshi: i message it to you cause I was unsure if we are allowed to post links here [00:43] is there any way to localize a plasma widget to 1 specific desktop?? === musclesbobby_ is now known as darkpigeon [00:45] Please Help, ive installed ubuntu karmic, and everything worked perfectly. i updated through "update manager" and after a restart, my cpu is being used constantly. it wasnt like that before the update. ive even reformated and reinstalled ubuntu thinking it was something i did, with the same results. any suggestions? [00:46] i'm having the same problem G_S_SR, no one has responded to my question [00:46] G_S_SR: what process is using the CPU? [00:46] G_S_SR: what process is using all the CPU...what does "top" say?

[00:48] G_S_SR: If it's apt-xapiian-indexer then that's a (fairly) one off job that apt uses to calculate its state [00:48] what should an idle system load be with a few messenger services running? === Guest49300 is now known as TheTosh [00:48] gcleric: xorg and devkit-disks are at the top of the list [00:48] !grub [00:48] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[00:52] G_S_SR: You can set the default kernel in /etc/grub-something(?). That should do it. it seems to be a bug with your hardware. You could also try to file a bug, but to trace a kernel bug... ;) [00:52] try a different browser cant [00:52] nothing I know of also using wpa security [00:52] firefox [00:52] G_S_SR: I'm with minimec ... roll back to the old kerenl.

Currently I am just starting it always with 'sudo /etc/init.d/cups start' :\ [00:57] no is what i meant to say, geez i can't type [00:58] Mike_lifeguard: look in /etc/rc2.d/ for a script to launch it [00:58] hi there [00:58] can one setup a root password for ubutu? [00:58] Mike_lifeguard: should be called something like SXXcups (where XX is a number) [00:58] !root | doolittlework [00:58] doolittlework: 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 [00:58] !root [00:58] boss_mc: Yep, I see /etc/rc2.d/S50cups [00:59] doolittlework: 'sudo -i', then 'passwd' in a terminal [00:59] * howdy` worships the great and powerful dudo [00:59] Mike_lifeguard: what does 'runlevel' give you? [00:59] um, sudo, lol [00:59] doolittlework: basically, ubuntu makes it very hard for users to run their pc as root [00:59] Ubuntu installed some proprietary drivers for my graphics card but I still can't enable fancy desktop effects [00:59] doolittlework: for good reason (root = too powerful = bad) [00:59] have a synaptics touchpad I need help with. dose anyone have a sec to give me some advice or help [01:00] i know nothing about touchpad. sorry [01:00] boss_mc: 2 [01:00] minimec: if i wanna use winscp to link to server to move some files, i dont have acces to move files says access denied, how does one remedy this? [01:01] boss_mc: The troubleshooter (God, ubuntu needs more of those!) says to do System>Administration>Services and look for cups there, but I don't have any such entry. (this is on karmic) [01:01] pointing grub2 at the linux-rt kernel howto? [01:01] woodyjlw: What ubuntu are you on? I never had problems with synaptics touchpads... [01:01] running 9.04 and I just want to make the touch more sensitive [01:01] the first reboot after had the rt as an option but then 2nd reboot just boots direct to -generic without a menu [01:01] Mike_lifeguard: is /etc/rc2.d/S50cups pointing to /etc/init.d/cups? [01:01] woodyjlw, you can do it with the GUI under mouse iirc [01:02] boss_mc: yes [01:02] woodyjlw, System>Preference>Mouse [01:02] huh, my cups printer disappeared just now O__o [01:02] woodyjlw: Try to use the mouse-tool in the preferences menu in the system menu. [01:02] Mike_lifeguard: have you looked in the system logs to see if it's just failing to start (because with that setup, it should start on boot) [01:02] I have an issue with my ubuntu installaiton [01:03] Anyone mind helping my buddy with his aptitude problems? http://paste.ubuntu.com/332738/ [01:03] Mike_lifeguard: or tired using 'sudo service cups start' to start it (I think that's better than /etc/init.d/cups in karmic) [01:04] boss_mc: the init script seemed to work, but I'll check the logs now as the network printer disappeared :( [01:04] doolittlework: That is a network config (access rights) question. As I never worked with winscp (had to google it), I don't have an answer to you ;) [01:04] anyone? [01:05] Hi, I am trying to get another hdd running but the system stopes at "Boot from (hd0,0)ext 3 Starting up... , the other hdd is sata2 drive, formated with ext 3 - How do I do this? [01:05] He can't install anything until this is resolved [01:05] I have tried to use system > preference>mouse but nothing for increasing the sensitivity of the touching or tapping....I some times have to tap several times to get it to do something when it never did this on older ubuntu oh and I notice it was better on 9.10 but I cant get 9.10 to work with acpi stuff on this laptop [01:05] chadbrochill: whats the problem? [01:06] RPG_Master: looks like it might be a dns issue? [01:06] sudo update-grub; sudo update-grub2 [01:06] RPG_Master: thedoble: it's not DNS, that IP address is correct [01:06] can he ping that address? [01:06] skyl: was that ment for me? [01:06] woodyjlw: ok. there are two software tools... gsynaptics and qsynaptics I think. You could try these. Another way would be to configure it manually in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (thre is none in 'karmic')... [01:07] Could he just stop installing the MS-core-fonts package? [01:07] that was in answering my own question [01:07] hi :D i saw that xmame doesn't appear to have a -dev package. where can i get the source? [01:07] Someone said you could have both Kubuntu and Ubuntu, and you could choose between them when booting, can anyone tell me how to do this? (I have Ubuntu) [01:07] RPG_Master: he could do 'sudo dpkg --remove ttf-mscorefont-installer' [01:07] boss_mc: Thanks [01:07] MatsW, but is somewhat pertinent, what release? [01:07] boss_mc: I don't see any errors in the cups logs, and the service seems to be running OK (here and on the server) [01:08] Mike_lifeguard: Does CUPS appear in System->Preferences->Sessions->Startup Programs? [01:08] skyl: 9.10 agree with that in thought but I am not sure [01:08] I would really like to get 9.10 to work on my laptop really but after install I cant close lid and suspend and wake correctly [01:08] I don't know about this grub2 business ... yeah, you should try it .. you might be pointed at the wrong machine, maybe change the priority in the bios .. [01:08] skyl: my main drive boots without issues - its when I connect this other drive it just doesnt boot up [01:09] skyl: bios is configured with the right order [01:09] yeah, maybe that is taking of hd0 [01:09] hrm [01:09] anybody willing to give me some help on setting up a GUI from a command line install of 9.10 [01:09] Squideshi: I don't have a 'sessions' entry, but I do have 'Startup Programs' and it isn't in there, no. [01:09] !grub | MatsW [01:09] MatsW: 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. [01:09] !grub2 | MatsW [01:09] MatsW: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:10] Squideshi: ATM, I'm more concerned that I can no longer find or print to the network printer at all. That's more important than whether it starts on boot or not [01:10] hoe do i giva a user access to do root cahnges? [01:10] SirChris: you could install ubuntu-desktop (installs ALL the defualt ubuntu desktop software) [01:10] Help! Having problem in installing mplayer. When I mark it for installation, there is a long list of libxxx packages to be installed. When I mark these for installations, I get msg about packages with unresolvable dependencies. [01:10] Mike_lifeguard: OK. Are you using the GUI or CLI to configure CUPS? [01:11] Squideshi: GUI for cups on my laptop, CLI for cups server on the server (well, there is the web interface too) [01:11] woodyjlw: There were a lot of changes with 'karmic' but reading your statement I guess you don't use a ATI card... ;) Suspend and hibernation is working on all my ATI cards... [01:11] mrpinky: 'apt-get source xmame' will get the actual source code, for just the headers I do not know [01:11] I went into power setting with 9.10 and set the suspend up but it never wakes....and that is the only version of ubuntu that I have used that has that problem. I do have it on my desktop running really really good [01:11] boss_mc: I just started using ubuntu and I would of just installed crunchbang for a cleaner install but I need to use 9.10 which crunchbang doesn't support yet because 9.10 is running flawlessly on my acer as1410 [01:11] Mike_lifeguard: Is the printer attached to the laptop or the server? [01:12] Any terminal harddrive benchmark software? I need to see what speed Im getting out of my server. [01:12] boss_mc, thanks! [01:12] SirChris: so you want the full ubuntu install? [01:12] Squideshi: server [01:12] Mike_lifeguard: Does the printer appear in CUPS on the server? [01:12] I am using ati 200m graphics card [01:13] Squideshi: Yes. [01:13] boss_mc well I find gnome is running very laggish on a 1.2ghz processor and it comes with so much unnecessary software so I just wanted to set one up myself with only what I need [01:13] Mike_lifeguard: You are sharing the printer via what protocol? [01:13] SirChris: fair enough, did you look at xubuntu (ubuntu with xfce in place of gnome) [01:14] SirChris: you can install xubuntu-desktop to get that if you like the look of it [01:14] Squideshi: Dunno, whatever cups uses to do it [01:14] can someone explain how to reduce cpu load? [01:14] mark__: you could use the console version of this http://phoronix-test-suite.com/ [01:14] SirChris: Or, I found a page a while back for gettign a minimal GUI from server, I'll try to find it again... [01:14] boss_mc I am really just trying to save myself the hassle of removing all the software [01:14] this looks bad to me load average: 0.57, 0.44, 0.6 [01:15] Mike_lifeguard: The printer is connected to the server via parallel or USB? === BottomBitch is now known as BradyBunch [01:15] Squideshi: USB [01:15] minimec : thanks, will give it a try [01:15] boss_mc: and gnome and xfce just use up so much more resources than some of the other window managers [01:16] Mike_lifeguard: Are you running Ubuntu 9.10 on the server, and do you have access to it right now? [01:16] hi everyone. is possible to use xbox 360 controller as game controller in ubuntu ?? [01:16] Squideshi: Yes and yes [01:16] SirChris: install xserver-xorg and a window manager and a login manager? [01:16] Go into System > Administration > Printing on the server. [01:16] Mike_lifeguard: Go into System > Administration > Printing on the server. [01:17] bokchoi: I use my ps3 controller, idk about xbox [01:17] boss_mc: I practiced installing a command line system on qEmu but I ran into problems when trying to apt-get the window managers and run the x enviroment [01:17] every since I left 8.04 and 8.10 my ati has not been the same but I know it is due to ati not ubuntu so I dont blame ubuntu but I cant get my 200m ati to work corectly with 9.10 [01:17] bdfoster_iPhone: i should try to plug in and to test? [01:17] Squideshi: The server is CLI :\ [01:17] Whats the command to completely wipe a hard drive (if there is one, 'cause formatting hasnt worked) [01:17] arab support channel plz? [01:18] boss_mc: gave me a harddrive error even though it said it was fine and just kept repeating, don't want that to happen on my computer you know [01:18] Mike_lifeguard: Have you removed GNOME? [01:18] it won't hurt, but google is your friend. the ps3 controller didn't just work [01:18] Squideshi: the server is a server, I didn't have to [01:18] bdfoster_iPhone: i understand. there will be much to configurate? [01:18] Mike_lifeguard: I see. I thought Ubuntu Karmic always came with GNOME. Sorry about that. [01:19] !arabic > AspireZ [01:19] AspireZ, please see my private message === mneptok is now known as weremnep [01:19] SirChris: http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-setup-lighter-faster-minimal.html [01:19] so... this is probably going to take awhile [01:19] SirChris: somthing like that? [01:19] bokchoi: depends on who develops that stuff [01:19] but... I'm having a hard time installing adobe flashplayer on my Firefox [01:19] Guys, kinda need the command to wipe a hard drive === weremnep is now known as mneptok [01:20] Squideshi: no problem. I think (looking at the 'add printer' page of CUPS web interface) that the printer is now being recognized on a different USB port. I'll try removing the old one and re-adding it... [01:20] I added ``linux-rt``, I ran ``$ sudo update-grub`` and I see ``Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-rt`` but then I don't get a choice when I reboot. [01:20] my touchpad works perfect in 9.10 but not so good in 9.04 ...lol can I take the good parts of 9.10 and the good parts of 9.04 and make a perfect UBUNYU OS ??? lol [01:20] Mike_lifeguard: Sounds reasonable. [01:20] Hi, is there a good way to get a good verticle panel working in gnome? [01:20] so if anyone can explain this to a computer illiterate idiot, that would be... helpful [01:20] boss_mc: yeah I have been trying to get something like that setup and then I could customize it to look all nice like crunchbang myself, basically I want a 9.10 crunchbang but I read it wasn't working too well to try and update crunchbang from 9.04 to 9.10 [01:20] !flash | BraveSaintStuart [01:20] BraveSaintStuart: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:21] GodfatherofEire: Use dd. [01:22] My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions? [01:22] boss_mc: in 9.10 all my function keys are working, wifi has great strength and doesn't drop, webcam is working everything, 9.04 not so much [01:22] bokchoi, that'll wipe all the data on the HD, kinda like DBaN? (Formatting isnt working) [01:22] thanks much [01:22] !info wipe [01:22] wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.21-7 (karmic), package size 44 kB, installed size 140 kB [01:22] although I'm not sure about the commands for this [01:22] does mplayer work in ubuntu? [01:22] such as !Restricted [01:23] huttsonn: of course [01:23] what am I supposed to do with that [01:23] SirChris: or the slightly more official (and lower resource dependant) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [01:23] GodfatherofEire: i dont know what dban is, but assuming you just want to erase the contents and not have to worry about security then yes it will work. the command syntax is something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd1 (or whatever your hd is) [01:23] bokchoi: there are plenty of tutorials out there for this on google, should be no sweat. [01:23] What's the best way to get a verticle panel to work right in gnome? [01:23] jrib: Help! Having problem in installing mplayer. When I mark it for installation, there is a long list of libxxx packages to be installed. When I mark these for installations, I get msg about packages with unresolvable dependencies. [01:23] bdfoster_iPhone: im googling it now, thx. just thought i'd ask right off the bat and see if anyone's done it and failed. [01:23] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 , there she is ... [01:23] Squideshi: yeah, that didn't help :\ [01:24] vlc mite work too [01:24] bokchoi, thanks [01:24] huttsonn: what version of ubuntu? have you installed any packages manually? Have you enabled any unofficial repositories? [01:24] My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions? [01:24] huttsonn: try to use the medibuntu repository. That could be a good start... [01:24] Squideshi: aha, now there are errors: E [01/Dec/2009:21:20:35 -0400] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv"! [01:24] Mike_lifeguard: Well, I'm guessing that the problem has to be on the laptop side, assuming that the printer is still shared and published on the server. [01:24] boss_mc: simple question, if I plug in a usb key can I install the system onto that instead of my harddrive so if it fails or panics I can just wipe the key and start over [01:24] GodfatherofEire: if you need secure encrypted hd wipe i would recommend truecrypt. but im sure a security expert would have a better answer than that [01:24] gotcha. looks like the controllers are similar in the way they connect. it should br no biggie. [01:24] ok, thks. [01:25] what just happened...? [01:25] bokchoi, i dont need a secure wipe, formatting just isnt working [01:25] if I install ubuntu 9.10 on here again could I get help on here fixing suspend and wake problem? cause 9.10 will fix my touchpad problems I am haveing [01:25] GodfatherofEire: good luck. dd should definitely work. it takes a while tho. [01:25] bokchoi, trying to set up a gpt partition table, but the default ubuntu install uses an msdos partition table [01:26] My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions? [01:26] bokchoi, its an 8GB hd, shouldnt take too long [01:26] SirChris: I have done that but it was a pain in the backside to get it working properly (manually installing grub among other things) [01:26] What's the best way to get a verticle panel to work right in gnome? [01:27] boss_mc: you can't just point the installer to the key? that would of been an easy way for me to test installing [01:27] !ipv6 | kaski [01:27] kaski: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [01:27] which link? [01:27] kaski, it could be ipv6 related [01:27] kaski, the 2nd one [01:27] SirChris: maybe you can, I only had one USB key available to me though (and no CD drive...) [01:28] bokchoi, how would I indicate the whole drive, not the partition? [01:28] im pretty sure i already disabled ipv6 but ill check it [01:28] kaski, ok [01:28] SirChris: actually that sounds liek it would work quite nicely [01:28] bokchoi, just dd with of=hd0? [01:28] GodfatherofEire: if=/dev/zero [01:29] woodyjlw: YOur questions are related. With karmic, you get a newer version of xorg, which handles your GPU and touchpad in a different way. There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore, as the X-server handles all the hardware automatically. You have the possibility to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf... THat will certainly help you with the synaptics driver... [01:29] kostkon, yep its disabled [01:29] anyone have any idea how i can restrict www-data to 300/400mb of ram? [01:29] boss_mc: yeah I bought another one yesterday so I could try different live cd's but always have a 9.10 desktop backup because i know it works and I don't have a windows computer, just a mac and a blank as1410 [01:29] kaski, ok [01:29] boss_mc, I know, i meant just for the output portion [01:29] kostkon, any other ideas [01:30] SirChris: if the as1410 is blank can't you just try on that and, if it fails, format that? [01:30] kaski, no :/ [01:30] Ah, screw it, I'll just do a quick DBAN === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [01:30] I am looking for a monocromatic laser printer(foss of course)... [01:31] I had a flashblock script that someone gave me a link to awhile back for chromium......does anyone know what it is called i miss it [01:31] My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions? [01:31] Does anyone know of a good free screen recorder? [01:31] boss_mc: yeah but i don't know much about ubuntu and was worried it might cause serious damage with a noob trying to do a advanced install, i suppose formating will always fix any problems [01:32] SirChris: formatting cures all evils! (except kicking out the plug while flashing the BIOS, must remember not to do that again....) [01:32] nevets04: there are a few in the ubuntu software center [01:33] Hi, I just tried installing Karmic on a new Thinkpad SL510; but as soon as I select "Install Ubuntu" or "Try ubuntu w/o changing your computer" (or as soon as I install via Wubi and then reboot into Ubuntu), I just see a blank screen. Ctrl-alt-delete still works, but ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't show me a text prompt. What should I try next? [01:33] bdfoster_iPhone, One in specific you would suggest? [01:33] craw [01:33] Is there a resource anyone can point me to on how to set up a Ubuntu "home media server"? [01:34] crap I have one on my box, cant think of the name. [01:34] im on my phone right now lol [01:34] Hello. [01:34] so... whatever I tried to install Adobe Flashplayer didn't work [01:34] is there anyone who can help me with that fun stuff? [01:35] Since the upgrade I made to Ubuntu 9.10, I get error when try to install/uninstall deb packages. [01:35] #chromium [01:35] anyone having problems running gnomedo's docky on dual monitors? nvidia card with latest drivers [01:35] or is there a better web browser for ubuntu? [01:35] i can't figure how to run docky on both screens, and gnome panel on the 2nd screen is acting wierd now [01:36] yeah Salvad: I had that problem with the flashplayer.deb [01:37] Is this the right place to ask an installation question? [01:37] michaelg: if it is related to ubuntu, this is the place for it [01:37] anyone have any idea how i can restrict www-data to 300/400mb of ram? [01:38] so does anyone have any idea how else to install adobe flashplayer onto Firefox? [01:38] because whatever I just tried didn't really work [01:38] BraveSaintStuart, how did you try to install it? [01:39] BraveSaintStuart: There is a package called "ubuntu-restricted-extras" in the repositiories. It installs every package you need to play certain media formats, as well as java and flash plugins for Firefox. [01:39] yeah, paradroid, I think I downloaded those, but anytime I try to play media (say on ESPN.com), it's just a black screen [01:39] before it said "Get Adobe Flashplayer" with their logo... but now it's just black [01:40] does anyone here know much about the application "mirrorselect"... this is a bit offtopic but im compiling a kernel right now and i need to select a mirror for package updates using mirrorselect inside Gentoo but i dot know how to actually select a mirror when the list pops up... i can scroll and move up and down the list but when i press "enter" to select one, it just send me back to the command prompt. [01:40] is there some way to send feedback when rmeoving a program [01:40] BraveSaintStuart: I've had the same problem. Normally restarting Firefox helps, or at least rebooting. It's a terrible fix I know. [01:41] heheh... yeah what can you do [01:41] I did restart Firefox... maybe rebooting is the answer [01:42] BraveSaintStuart: It's the wrong answer, mind you. You should never have to reboot. Of course, they are playing with Adobe's binary, so it's a little tougher to optimize and make fit. [01:43] zythyl: Pick a mirror closest to you, highlight it, and press space to select it. You can select multiple mirrors. For future reference, please use #gentoo on irc.freenode.net for future Gentoo related questions. [01:43] right... I mean... none of that really makes sense to me... I'm pretty much a computer moron compared to everyone who does the work to make Ubuntu what it is [01:43] 大家好 [01:43] but, at the same time, I understand that the language isn't much the same, so... awesome [01:43] can anybody give me some advice on making my wifi work in a compaq laptop with ubuntu? This is my first time ever using the program, trying to get some things working right. [01:43] anywho... thanks for the advice... I may be back [01:43] BraveSaintStuart: Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone starts somewhere, and everyone starts knowing nothing. [01:44] b0ngl0ad: have you enable the restricted drivers under system > restricted drivers? [01:45] BraveSaintStuart: The problem is if you remain knowing nothing. Now, go out there and...do stuff? [01:46] thanks for the pep talk! I'm gonna... go do stuff! [01:46] BraveSaintStuart: haha, fl! [01:46] BraveSaintStuart: gl*! [01:47] nytek_, can you be more specific on that location. I am not seeing restricted drivers under system. [01:47] b0ngl0ad: um, what version of ubuntu are you using? [01:47] hello all [01:48] does anyone have some time to help me ? I cant get ubuntu to install to the HD but runs from a CD [01:48] nytek_, 9.10 [01:48] i see hardware drivers [01:48] but nothing about restricted [01:48] lugnuttz: well what is the error you are getting if anything [01:48] i have that same problem [01:49] :( i have tried 9.04 and 9.10 about 4 times each [01:49] b0ngl0ad: open that and see if you see your wireless card [01:49] i get a different error every time [01:49] b0ngl0ad: hardware i mean, im sorry [01:49] at the end of the boot up it said the network manager could not complete. [01:49] Hello. [01:49] Salvad: howdy [01:49] I get this when trying to install/uninstall deb packages: "E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1". [01:49] lugnuttz: well that's not really a fatal error really [01:49] ubuntu, you must have fought tooth and nail to get that nick. ;-) Didn't mean to interrupt, just saying hi. :-) [01:49] What does it means? [01:50] :D im on the live cd [01:50] it was just the default [01:50] thats what I was thinking but when i have it running from the cd and click the icon to install to the hd, it does nothing. [01:50] Salvad: have to run an apt-get install -f ? [01:50] What does it do? [01:51] *That. [01:51] Salvad: fixes a package(s) that are not fully installed. [01:51] I will run that and come back. [01:52] nytek_, it says no propritery hardware found and the list is empty [01:52] I'm back... [01:52] to no avail [01:53] Well. [01:53] I am getting this in the process: "--2009-12-01 22:52:23-- http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe [01:53] Resolving downloads.sourceforge.net... failed: Connection timed out." [01:53] I can download packages though. [01:54] Salvad: did you mention about having trouble with .deb [01:54] Yes. [01:54] Salvad: I am too... don't really know what to do about it though [01:54] Salvad: sorry if I got your hopes up [01:55] I think I may try 9.10 one more time on this laptop but wondering if anyone els on here has a laptop with a ATI 200M graphics card that is using 9.10 successfully ?? [01:55] holas [01:55] xD [01:55] so is there any other way to install Adobe Flashplayer so that it might work? [01:55] woodyjlw, I don't [01:56] alguien juega l2 en ubuntu? server oficial o privado? [01:56] dont what? have ati or any problems with it [01:57] woodyjlw, I couldn't configure it to work properly. [01:57] Adobe Flashplayer problems, anyone? [01:57] no one? [01:57] maybe I should wait then? [01:57] tity, what is l2? [01:58] BraveSaintStuart: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer is all you need [01:58] My MPD is playing but the MPD values on my conky simply display (null). Any help? Thanks. [01:58] trism: I don't know even know what that means [01:59] BraveSaintStuart: click Applications -> Terminal, then type that command [01:59] it will prompt for your password, then install "flashplugin-installer" [01:59] (apt-get is a command-line program to install programs.) [01:59] I am not sure what happens *after* you install an "installer", though... [02:00] michaelg: the installer just downloads the flash package from the adobe website and installs it...hence installer [02:00] My computer's screen will not lock when I select "Lock Screen" from the right-most menu, but it will when the screensaver kicks in or I can select switch users, but the screen will not simply lock from the menu. Does anyone have any ideas? === goose is now known as goose_ [02:01] trism: ah. === goose_ is now known as goose [02:01] excuse me, when i try to add some music in K3B it says: "Problem while adding files to the project." how can i solve this problema? [02:01] michaelg: trism: it didn't really seem to do anything [02:02] BraveSaintStuart: I can only speak to how to run apt-get via the command line -- no idea re: Flash. Sorry! [02:02] how do I configure firefox so that I dont have to type in .com [02:02] trism: ? [02:03] BraveSaintStuart: it should say things such as downloading flashplugin-installer, unpacking, installing, etc...then you should be good to go [02:03] koolmanluke: hit "control enter" after typing a url, e.g. type "google" and hit control enter. it will place ".com" after your url for you. [02:03] hey all i need some quick amarok help. i cant hear my music. i hear all other sounds like clicks, etc. but no music. any ideas? [02:03] trism: oh... actually more interesting, and possibly frustrating [02:04] BraveSaintStuart: what did it say after you typed the command? [02:04] madcheeze: is amarok muted? [02:04] micahelg, there is no way to force that behavior? I swear, it used to do that on my mac firefox standard [02:04] no [02:04] biggerfisch, no [02:04] trism: it just says "flashplugin-installer is already the newest version" [02:04] anyone? [02:04] koolmanluke: not sure. i know that FF by default does an "i'm feeling lucky" google search when you type a non-url into the url bar. [02:04] trism: this is definitely frustrating because I've already restarted Firefox and Ubuntu [02:04] (for me) [02:04] BraveSaintStuart: so no flash apps work? [02:04] michaelg, thanks, the control enter tip works [02:04] koolmanluke: np [02:04] trism: nothing so far [02:05] how does one tell what hd are on the system, like what is my usb flash drive? dh3? [02:05] madcheeze: try checking the system sound prefs. and see if music playback is muted [02:05] trism: I suppose I should try something like on YouTube or something, but espn.com doesn't seem to want to show me anything [02:06] BraveSaintStuart: not all flash apps will work in the linux version unfortunately [02:06] hi, i'm trying to get vmware server going, it needs all the kernel headers and source - what packages do i install for this? [02:06] BraveSaintStuart: try youtube though, because that definitely works [02:06] i have linux-source and linux-headers, but still npo fun [02:06] trism: correct... it does... that's a little disappointing though [02:07] BraveSaintStuart: yes it is [02:07] trism: perhaps I'll still be able to watch some goodness on hulu or something, and I'll have to use GASP Windows for ESPN. Poo [02:08] BraveSaintStuart: yeah hulu works fine too [02:08] trism: Well good deal... thanks for the help... I'm sure the intelligent minds behind ubuntu will get keep making this thing better [02:09] Just a quick question: sda11 in grub would be (hd0,10) ? [02:10] br [02:10] vock: depends on your grub version [02:10] 1.6 [02:10] vock: then yes [02:10] With Flashplugin-nonfree properly installed and configured, clicking on the Youtube controls for the videos is not working. They still respond to spacebar for pause and play, however. Karmic 9.10, Firefox 3.5 [02:10] jrib: thanks [02:11] Dunas: check bugs.ubuntu.com, there should be a bug as I've seen similar complaints [02:11] Hi guys. First time here. Does anybody know or has anybody herd of Ubuntu not running (graphically) on a new Intel G31 chipset machine? I've tried that latest Ubuntu release as well as the last 3 releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu with the same results. Also the latest version of Linux Mint has the same issue. [02:11] does sda mean drive 0 (hd0)?? [02:12] ZaNeIuM: in what context? [02:12] i see my usb drive as /dev/sda1 [02:12] Is the youtube plugging of totem working 4 any of you? [02:12] is that also (hd0) [02:12] ZaNeIuM: did you see my question? [02:12] jrib? [02:13] if I run a dual boot with 9.04 as main os and test 10.04 will I be able to update the 10.04 to newest build or do you have to install newest build every time ? [02:13] im trying to install grub on my usb stick, but it tells me i need to know what (hdx) it is [02:14] ZaNeIuM: I haven't done that, but yes sda is hd0 [02:14] thank you and then /dev/sdc3 would be (hd3,3) ? [02:15] ZaNeIuM: no... [02:16] ? [02:16] ZaNeIuM: if a is 0, then c is not 3 [02:16] If you have a dual boot system with 2 different ubuntu OS and you want to get rid of one of them can you do it without reinstalling whole system [02:16] what's the best way to get all source installed on ubuntu 8.04? [02:17] alloy_: why? [02:17] woodyjlw: sure [02:17] cool [02:17] jrib: vmware server needs it to build it's kernel module [02:17] !vmware > alloy_ [02:17] alloy_, please see my private message [02:17] does sound work with IRC [02:18] it's the UBUNTU linux source I need jrib [02:18] dailystruggle: up to your client [02:18] alloy_: read the link ubottu gave you [02:18] which clients do [02:18] so if I find a test version of 10.04 and I dual boot with my 9.04 and I dont like it I can get rid of 10.04 without reinstalling [02:18] I'm trying to install karmic-mini.iso from a hard drive without burning it: I've edited fstab so that it the partition is mounted on boot (it is automatically mounted when I start Jaunty, so i think i did it right), grub is pointed to the right partition (/dev/sda11, grub is pointing to (hd0,10) but I'm still getting that it's not able to mount the partition, any ideas? [02:18] dailystruggle: most can be setup to play a sound on different events [02:18] no1 has problem with totem's youtube? [02:19] woodyjlw: yes [02:19] ok thanks :) [02:19] woodyjlw: just make sure you use 9.04's grub so you don't have to reinstall grub later [02:20] no like if I wanted to broadcast sound from a meeting [02:20] vock: i would just use a usb flash drive personally [02:20] !install > vock [02:20] vock, please see my private message [02:20] vock: see if that has any tips [02:20] dailystruggle: no, irc doesn't do that [02:20] does anyone have a clue how they did it at UDS-l [02:21] they had live stream [02:22] ok [02:22] jrib: I would too, except this computer can't boot off a USB :( [02:22] dailystruggle: icecast? === jetx is now known as jetscreamer [02:23] thanks jrib i'll remember that page - was actually on it yesterday trying to get 9.10 working with it, again thanks :-) [02:23] ill look at that [02:24] help me please! [02:24] jrib: If it comes up again, I think the problem is that grub can't read ntfs? [02:25] vock: yeah, I'd believe that [02:26] with showmouse how do I live it on even when i reboot the system [02:26] somebody help!! [02:26] wolf23: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [02:26] !ask | wolf23 [02:26] wolf23: 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. :-) [02:27] minimec: is there a way to burn 4 .cue files in one dvd? [02:27] so my brother, who shares an connection with me, noticed that his ping (for some steam game) was really bad. He disconnected my machine and it went back to normal. What's strange though is that I'm not doing anything that should be connecting to the network. As soon as I connect again, the problem resumes. I've run top and netstat and I've got some fishy results. [02:27] minimec: i mean is there a way to burn 4 .bin files in one dvd? [02:28] Hi! I could use some help with mdadm. I created a new raid-5 array with 3x1.5tb disks today, but something went horribly wrong... I made the array with one disk missing, so that I could copy the contents of my old disk to the degraded array. mdstat does not list the array (md3), and I am not very familiar with the mdadm tools [02:28] i install flash 10.. but im unable to click on any of the control features of flash.. like play or pause [02:28] First off, netstat shows a connection to "shareprocessing.com" - which I've never heard of [02:28] SuperMiguel: check bugs.ubuntu.com, that seems to be a common one [02:28] phrontist: can your router display traffic information? [02:29] I am for whatever reason, unable to play any videos on my computer.. ubuntu [02:29] wolf23: you can burn as much data on a dvd until it is full, using it as a data dvd. Cannot give you an answer for more detailed dvd questions. [02:29] microlith: I don't think so [02:29] phrontist: sudo apt-get install bwm-ng [02:29] SuperMiguel: here you go: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407?comments=all [02:29] phrontist: with that you can monitor how much bandwidth you're using on your computer [02:29] here is my netstat output (except unix sockets): http://pastebin.ca/1697584 [02:30] minimec: ah ok , thanx [02:30] ben64: okay. I've been using gkrellm and it showed a steady 10kbps before I connected to irc. [02:30] I am for whatever reason, unable to play any videos on my computer.. what is the repo to add to get flash? [02:30] !flash | cant [02:30] cant: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:31] jrib, how do i even google that? [02:31] aloha [02:31] i was wondering if someone could help me with installation from a CD, ive tried everything for 5 hours [02:31] also, and this frankly freaks me out, there is a dd process running... and I haven't ever used dd on this machine [02:31] SuperMiguel: I didn't tell you to google. I told you to search for a bug at http://bugs.ubuntu.com, but I did it for you in my last message [02:31] is there any conceivable reason for that? [02:31] draconas: everything is fairly vague. at what point of installation does it fail? [02:32] ive just installed ubuntu 9.04, but no sounds, anyone can help me? [02:32] phrontist: check the parameters that it is using [02:32] phrontist: short answer: yes. If it's hogging your cpu or something, there was a bug about it at bugs.ubuntu.com [02:32] ash-2plus1: after i click install, it shows the icon, then it goes away and does nothing, the hhard drive light is on but its doing nothing [02:32] lstarnes: how? [02:32] phrontist: ps aux | grep /bin/dd [02:33] how can i make the sounds activate? [02:33] jrib: oh, so there is a known issue with ubuntu that causes it to run a useless dd proc? [02:33] phrontist: no, I believe it has a use [02:33] minimec: but its a game of 4 cds .bin and .cue and i need to know about a program to burn them into one dvd [02:33] phrontist: if you see /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg, it is being used to store the kernel log messages from /proc/kmsg to /var/run/klogd/kmsg for use by klogd [02:33] phrontist: but there is a known issue where it hogs the cpu [02:33] phrontist: (sometimes) [02:34] dd's options are: /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg [02:34] so yeah, looks like some system thing [02:34] dd is cool [02:34] it's not hogging CPU, so I'm fine with that [02:34] but still weirded out by the apparent constant bandwidth usage, however small [02:34] i have flashinstaller installed already but no flash still no video where is the installer? === wulfgarpro is now known as wulfgarx [02:34] seems like my flashdrive will get past the boot screen, but not the installation CD [02:35] cant: what *exactly* did you do to install flash? [02:35] wolf23: are you implying you have done this before? [02:35] wolf23: what you want is a storage device that handles your 4 cds, and a software to mount your cue files. Ubuntu is your friend [02:35] clicked on the install flash link from the above ubotto and it reported already installed the installer [02:36] i have a 8GB file [02:36] i can't copy it to my Ubuntu laptop [02:36] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I'm an idiot [02:36] minimec: please can u help me and tell me what program use for it? [02:36] there is a bitorrent process. [02:36] !who | cant [02:36] cant: 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 :) [02:36] so I haven't been l33t h4x0red after all [02:37] hi what can i use to check for bad sectors [02:37] jadakren: i didnot try this before, but i am asking if there a way to burn 4 .bin and .cue files into one dvd [02:37] jrib yes [02:37] cant: and then, did you restart your browser? [02:37] phrontist: yeah, BT will slaughter your upstream if unmonitored [02:37] jrib I didnt install anything [02:37] hey all. [02:38] cant: restart your browser [02:38] ok [02:38] microlith: I was seeding that torrent of every MIDI on geocities :-) [02:38] with no upload limit [02:38] wolf23: first off... have you found a programm to mount the cye & bin files yet? [02:38] anyone: is there a reason why the hard drive hangs and the installation CD does nothing after the first screen, but im able to use ubuntu from my flashdrive? [02:38] I'm trying to install 9.10 on my eeePC, but when I made a bootable USB, it just ignored it completely. [02:38] wolf23: cue* [02:38] It's set to boot from USB. [02:38] Any ideas? [02:38] wolf23: brasero to burn the cue's, and this to mount them... http://maketecheasier.com/mount-iso-bin-and-cue-files-from-nautilus/2009/05/23 [02:39] phrontist: a venture with dubious value :P [02:39] Hi. [02:39] microlith: indeed. [02:39] Is anybody else having a problem with the new Intel G31 graphics chipset? [02:39] that brings me to my next question [02:39] how do I extract a .7z on ubuntu hardy? [02:39] !7z | phrontist [02:39] thanx minimec and jadakren i try! [02:39] phrontist: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [02:40] jrib: word. === banister` is now known as banisterfiend [02:41] So the new Intel G31 don't work at all on Ubuntu...but the Nvidia ones do? [02:42] hello Rm [02:42] is there a reason why the installation CD makes my drive hang and makes it do nothing for hours, but my flashdrive has no problem with it? [02:43] hi === linux is now known as mdg [02:43] anyone seen ShawnRisk tonight? [02:43] minimec: can u burn from brasero the 4 .cue files? === dad_ is now known as Guest25090 [02:43] new 2 chat rm.

Don't think that you can just mount and burn your cue files on a DVD and the DVD handles them as indipendant cds like for installation of the game or so... [02:46] well support would mean i have it install... i'm really just interested in getting started with scalix [02:46] IdleOne: and the reason would be? [02:46] draconas: did you check the iso with md5? [02:47] IdleOne:whats md5? im using it with my flashdrive and it seems to work fine [02:47] !md5 [02:47] 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 [02:47] draconas: follow that link [02:47] IdleOne: thanks, gimme a minute [02:48] wolf23: what game is it. [02:48] draconas: also burn the cd at lowest speed possible [02:48] minimec: oh so i need to burn 4 cds not all in one dvd :( [02:48] ei some knows because new ubuntu does not recognize drive of sound [02:48] jadakren: men of valor [02:48] hi, all my videos have the wrong color [02:48] I think it is an xvideo problem [02:48] is there some way to fix this? [02:48] wolf23: probably yes. [02:49] wolf23: one thing you could experiement with is mounting each cd and copying the contents to a folder on your hard drive... then burning that folder to a dvd [02:49] ac13: define "wrong color" [02:49] my friends and u we are I try this problem [02:49] epinky: like, purplish [02:49] and bluish [02:49] ac13: do u have an ati card? [02:49] nope [02:49] under gstreamer-properties changing to "no xv" fixes [02:49] but then the video tears [02:49] wolf23: this is one of the ways you get around other programs that install from multi-discs [02:50] Hi guys. First time here. Does anybody know or has anybody herd of Ubuntu not running (graphically) on a new Intel G31 chipset machine? I've tried that latest Ubuntu release as well as the last 3 releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu with the same results. Also the latest version of Linux Mint has the same issue. [02:50] I have a nvidia card. using the latest (185?) drivers [02:50] ac13: I think that's a codec issue, tried with "vlc player" ? [02:50] epinky: under mplayer, gl works but xv doesn't [02:50] ac13: ok, i only asked cause a friend had a similar prob. and it was an issues with his driver but his card was ati [02:50] many are tie with will to change or to install the old version [02:51] Say if i had a lab of 50 ubuntu computers, could i have an update server so i dont have to download 50 400mb updates (example size). Then i would only have to download 1 400mb set, then distribute it to the lab [02:51] yeah it might be a driver problem. but I can't see how to change the colors! [02:51] jadakren: wolf23: That merge- in- one- folder is worth a try. At least that alwost always worked back in the 9ties... ;) [02:51] well, all the colors in nvidia-setitngs look fine. so it oculd be some sort of issue with the color space? (I don't really know much about this stuff...) [02:51] ac13: try the open source video drive just to be sure that is not the prob [02:51] jadakren: jadakren so tell me how peoples burn 6 movies in one dvd and when u insert the dvd on a dvd player it shows menus with animations, can u tell me how they burn it? [02:51] wolf23: movie != game [02:52] hi guys [02:52] don't the nvidia drivers tend to work well? I don't really want to switch video drivers if it can be avoided [02:52] can someone please help me get flash player installed so i can watch youtube videos? I am using ubuntu V 9.10 [02:52] hi all. Evolution mail hangs on "formatting messages"...

[02:55] jadakren: no i mean how could i make 6 movies from my hard disk and burn them into one dvd, and with the menu [02:55] draconas: also burn the cd at lowest speed possible, check the BIOS and make sure the CDROM is set to boot first [02:56] epinky: yea. just sits there. even tried doing it in a watch loop [02:56] Is there a "headphone jack sense" option in Ubuntu 9.10? I can't seem to find it. [02:56] IdleOne: that may help, just 1x and not 4x speed? [02:56] So how bad is this ext4 file corruption bug? Should I be concerned? [02:56] draconas: 2x should be slow enough but 1x if you feel like it. [02:56] !devede | wolf23 [02:56] Hello, I have a problem with my ubunutu install on my laptop.

Also, when I try to open firefox or conkerer from the command line, I get "Bus error" [02:56] Dunas: I checked my backups [02:56] IdleOne: great i'll try it [02:57] jadakren: ok let me explain for you, if i intert the dvd ona a dvd player it shows the menu with the 6 films,and each film in the menu looks small and with animation [02:57] wolf23: i've used 'devede' to do that [02:57] jadakren: also with sound [02:57] how can I hide visual assistance from GDM in Karmic? [02:58] any1 ever had problems getting wifi to work on a laptop? [02:58] laptop has built in wifi card [02:58] Oddbio: You should be able to find that in the alsa configuration of your soundcard in gnome-volume-control. jack-snese not working by default is a bad sign.... (my experience) [02:58] how can I hide visual assistance from GDM in Karmic? <--- I would like to know that as well [02:58] wifi worked out of the box for me... what type of wireless card do you have? [02:58] b0ngl0ad, what kinda of wifi? [02:59] did you install all restricted drivers? [02:59] im not sure of the wifi card, its a newer compaq a900, my brother wanted me to ask === dexter__ is now known as dexter [02:59] minimec: I do not have a jack-sense option anywhere in there. [02:59] BalSak: can you tell which port is it? did you "lsof" it? [03:00] Any recommendations for music player software, for a large collection (500+ CDs)... Rythtmnbox isn't cutting it, and Amarok2 is too....bad [03:00] b0ngl0ad: lsusb | grep wifi to get info on card [03:00] a large portion of the music classical, so special support that would be a plus [03:00] b0ngl0ad: lspci | grep wifi to get info on card [03:00] sorry* [03:00] special support for classical? [03:00] epinky: it's my SIP client, so it's on 5060 (confirmed by netstat -nap | grep ....) [03:01] Oddbio: Did you change your device to 'alsa'. It is set on 'pulse' by default. Change to alsa, try to check jack-sense, switch back to 'pulse' [03:01] ac13: Think along the lines of grouping by *work*, not album or disc [03:01] TylerE, i use Audacious2 because it is quick and easy. [03:01] TylerE: do you know of any audio player that does that (under windows!)? that would be awesome [03:01] ac13: Not really ;( [03:01] BalSak: "sudo lsof -i :5060" (if lsof is not there then install it) [03:02] minimec: I don't have an option in gnome-volume-control to change between pulse and alsa [03:02] TylerE, under linux I use exaile, but I've also had problems with that in the past, though they may have been fixed [03:02] Oddbio, doesn't gnome default to pulse now? not really sure thoug [03:02] ac13: I'm pretty sure it does [03:02] Oddbio, maybe pulse is the only supported option now? [03:03] using anything else but pulse is inviting a world of pain [03:03] ha. apparently OSS works well. I had a hell of a time switching to pulse when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 [03:03] i.e., sound stopped working completely [03:04] Hello I have removed pulseaudio from my 9.10 install and am currently using 'gnome-alsamixer' which is ok except it doesnt remember my user settings to hide and show selected faders. Are there any other GTK alsa volume adjustment apps? [03:04] Oddbio: I am on 9.04 here, but there should be a device section in 9.10 too... Something like 'Playback SB Live 5.1 ... (PulseAudio)'. [03:04] Um ok well let me try to uninstall gnome and reinstall it: Does anyone know what package I can remove to completely remove gnome? [03:04] why are you uninstalling gnome? [03:04] !-devede [03:04] im trying to solve the problem i posted up there [03:05] minimec: in sound preferences? I don't see anything like that [03:05] anyone have a problem with deluge opening every time you open a torrent file, rather than queuing it up? [03:05] linuxguy2009: add "/sbin/alsactl restore" in "/etc/rc.local" just before "exit 0", then reboot [03:06] Oddbio: F2 gnome-volume-control === bryan is now known as Guest71907 [03:07] epinky: Im guessing that it will give back the panel icon for sound? [03:07] minimec: ya, same thing. I don't see it [03:07] Oddbio: You're on 9.10? [03:07] minimec: yes [03:08] Oddbio: I don't know like the gui looks like, but there should be some device section... [03:08] 请问大家一个问题,rename 's/.rm$/.rmvb/' [03:08] 's/.rm$/.rmvb/'这个是正则表达式吗 [03:09] also, anyone know why firefox doesn't listen to the font settings? [03:09] 能否解释一下 [03:09] it used to, but doesn't seem like it does anymore [03:09] ac13, for a test, try another profile [03:09] see if it profile-related [03:09] I mean it's not a big deal for me, because I'm still using default font settings. but it would be nice for it to be consistent [03:09] also, I don't know how to change the profile? do I make a new account? [03:10] minimec: well there is a output section [03:10] ac13, goto the default mozilla dir in your home dir [03:10] close firefox, rename the dir [03:10] restart firefox [03:10] oh. [03:10] 是正则 [03:10] minimec: and it says "choose a device for sound output", I only have one option "internal audio analog stereo" which is selected [03:10] ac13, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles [03:10] epinky: What does that do that you posted to me? [03:11] Satzo: okay I will try that sometime later so I don't accidentally break something [03:11] 能否解释一下,我只是简单的学了一下正则 [03:11] if anything, moving profiles is very safe [03:11] minimec: and then there is a "connector:" drop down box, where I can select "analog output" or "analog headphones". === JNSamuel is now known as CodeToxic [03:11] linuxguy2009: never mind :) [03:11] minimec: I just tried selecting "analog headphones" but now I get no sound. [03:11] Oddbio: http://imagebin.org/73693 [03:11] epinky: k === robert__ is now known as systm [03:12] hi all, just a quick question. if I use the 'upgrade' button in the upgrade manager of Ubuntu 9.04 to get to Ubuntu 9.10 - will it use the mirror I have already set? [03:12] nicholas1, far as i know yep [03:13] s/$1/$2/g 这样就是替换的正则。 === CodeToxic is now known as JNSamuel [03:13] okay, it just gives me some information about getting new sources etc.. I need to make sure it downloads from my ISP so the bandwidth isn't tallied. i have a limited download limit [03:13] nicholas1: yes [03:14] minimec: wow, it looks nothing like that [03:14] nicholas1: The sources changes are that it has to change 'jaunty' to 'karmic' and then download the stuff for that, but from the same server. [03:14] thanks tonyarusso & Satzo [03:14] Silly Australians and their ISPs. [03:14] exactly! [03:14] for those in nicholas1's situation it'd be nice to set IPchains to deny access to all but update selected IP [03:14] Hi guys. First time here. Does anybody know or has anybody herd of Ubuntu not running (graphically) on a new Intel G31 chipset machine? I've tried that latest Ubuntu release as well as the last 3 releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu with the same results. Also the latest version of Linux Mint has the same issue. [03:14] * Satzo has unlimited access... [03:14] It amuses me that I can deduce your country by your question without bothering with whois. [03:15] I see in ubuntu configuration editor that there is a section for my gnome-alsamixer to set shown/hidden faders etc. I wonder why it wont save the settings. I can hide them in the window, but it doesnt see the changes it seems. Anyone know why? [03:15] Oddbio: show me how it looks now ... ;) Make a PrintScreen an 'imagebin.org me the result ;) [03:15] * tonyyarusso has "unlimited" in US terminology, meaning 250GB/mo [03:15] what is the upgrade process like for Ubuntu? I have used Fedora since Core 1 and have never had a reliable upgrade path without a clean install... [03:15] tonyyarusso the kangaroo population has plenty to do with their bandwidth caps. [03:15] nicholas1: Pretty darn good these days. Some quirks, but it usually works. [03:15] minimec: http://imagebin.org/73695 [03:16] 谢了,这样我就可以找资料看了 [03:16] tonyyarusso - my mum's isp gives her an unlimited connection, but only at 256kbs... it is such a scam. [03:16] anyone know of a tool that will let me combine a two part movie into one....with subtitles? [03:16] i have a movie thats split in two..and each half has its own subtitle file [03:16] !cn | zlx [03:16] zlx: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:16] Oddbio: I do agree wit you *rofl* [03:18] Oddbio: It's like gnome-volume-control replaced pavucontrol in 9.10. Very interesting... === tonsofpcs is now known as CodeZero [03:19] minimec: I can also access a pulseAudio control === CodeZero is now known as CodeMonkey [03:19] <_ged> hi, is there a way to check the the permission of a file, like i want to display the permission of a file on this directory? === CodeMonkey is now known as CodeMunkey [03:20] _ged: ls -l [03:20] I get an error in trying to install mysql gem for ruby [03:20] This is the error http://paste-it.net/public/s771778/ [03:20] jrib, _ged: for the directory only, "ls -ld ." === slide23 is now known as Guest85274 [03:21] <_ged> jrib: thanks, but it doesnt display if this file has been granted by a 777 file permission. [03:21] Taim: . is redundand :) [03:21] I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon Express 200M that I'm trying to connect to my LCD HDTV via the VGA port but it won't give me anything higher resolutions. the TV can do full 1080p, [03:21] Oddbio: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1319424 [03:21] _ged: it displays the permissions as rwx... It's actually easier to understand. Use stat if you insist on seeing them in octal [03:22] jrib: pppth. [03:22] Taim: redundant even === ubuntu is now known as coolkehon [03:23] <_ged> thanks :) [03:23] is there any point on getting a Ubuntu cert> [03:23] ? [03:24] Junkyard: try with "sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev" [03:24] is there any way to install ubuntu in an encrypted lvm through the live cd [03:24] SuperMiguel do you with in the linux field now? [03:24] <_ged> jrib: ahm, i got a question again, on that "ls -l" it doesnt display the file that has a permission of 600, how can i view the files regardless of their permissions. [03:24] _ged, as root [03:24] <_ged> a [03:25] <_ged> okey, i'll try that. thanks [03:25] epinky, Its already installed === m4v is now known as mkv [03:25] Satzo, ? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [03:25] * jrib is glad Satzo understood the question [03:25] Hi just installed ubuntu server, it created an lvm but i want to expand it with a new harddrive. Someone knows any tutorial about it? cant find it or i am not searching good enoug :| === Guest85274 is now known as slide [03:25] and SuperMiguel doesn't understand mine...... [03:25] SuperMiguel: Is there a point in getting an RHCE, MCSE or CCNA? [03:25] Junkyard: will "sudo gem install mysql" help? [03:25] When I do tar xf in the terminal I get an error that the file or directory doesn't exist when the tar.bz2 file is on my desktop, I'm new to linux by the way [03:25] Taim, well there is alot of market for CCNA and MCSE :) is there market for ubuntu? [03:25] I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon Express 200M that I'm trying to connect to my LCD HDTV via the VGA port but it won't give me anything higher resolutions. the TV can do full 1080p, [03:25] Satzo: you made some sort of typo, read what you wrote :) [03:26] orangepnut: pastebin [03:26] sorry folks. do you work with linux now SuperMiguel ? [03:26] minimec: that's odd. I don't have the headphone jack sense option in alsamixer either [03:26] Satzo, no [03:26] It helped :) [03:26] orangepnut: you know you can just right click -> extract right? [03:26] epinky, thanks [03:26] SuperMiguel, then i wouldnt bother [03:26] just keep tinkering and learning... [03:27] Junkyard: you're welcome :) [03:27] if u can obtain the certs for free, then yes :) [03:27] SuperMiguel: There is for anybody that want's qualified Ubuntu experts. It's a matter of relative value. Some would argue that an RHCE is more valuable versus Ubuntu. Others would argue the opposite. Some more would argue that neither is that great. It's a tool to help quantify your level of expertise and that's about it. [03:27] Taim, agreeed. [03:27] Oddbio: As I said... jack-sense not working by default is a bad sign. Your aoundchip is not 100% working with the current alsa version of ubuntu 9.10... [03:28] minimec: aoundchip? [03:28] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/332811/ I know that but I was just following the instructions on the website [03:28] How do I use jar files? [03:28] orangepnut: what website? What are you trying to do? [03:28] crohakon: what are you trying to do? [03:28] jrib, install metasploit [03:28] Oddbio: soundchip or soundcardchip ... [03:28] crohakon, java [03:29] Install UltraMixer Professional and the download is in a jar file [03:29] !cli > orangepnut [03:29] orangepnut, please see my private message [03:29] minimec: ok [03:29] hi there guys [03:29] orangepnut: you should read that. Anyway, you need to "cd ~/Desktop" first [03:30] so if ur using ubuntu server as a media server, how do u play media on a television? [03:30] is there a channel in freenode for qt?

[03:31] ok so i'm on ubuntu how can i install ubuntu into an encrypted lvm so that i can boot into it [03:31] blackshell [03:31] cool, what distro do u recommend, not built yet, assumed u would need to tho [03:31] r u able to hlp [03:31] waqarm: compiz may have something like that could always google to see [03:32] fretegi_part_2, just regular ubuntu will do fine [03:32] Oddbio: no problem... [03:32] then you can add what you need to do your functions [03:32] i want to use a netbook remix USB drive as an emergency bootup disk, can I also install applications to it?? [03:32] great, lots of time on ubuntu, but what is needed to perform that task?

Modifications of the login screen are limitated in karmic [03:38] dylanpatterson, then you are almost to the races [03:38] oh [03:38] thnx minimex [03:38] minimec [03:38] sory [03:38] dylanpatterson, there is a bug with the software for your driver, you could use backports: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/289014 [03:39] I keep on getting this weird issue with Deluge every time I shut it down for the time and try to open it back up, it says its loading and then nothing happens. This happens when I try to open it from the applications menu or from downloading torrents from firefox, with firefox prompting the program to start. [03:39] waqarm: no problem. You can en/disable login sceen for a given user, if you want that... [03:39] ok.. im sorry but how do i use the backports? [03:40] dylanpatterson: system -> administration -> software sources; there's a checkbox to enable backports [03:40] !paste [03:41] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [03:41] !install | coolkehon [03:41] coolkehon, please see my private message [03:42] dylanpatterson, youre using karmic, right? 9.10? [03:42] maco, i dont see backports in there [03:43] mezquitale, im using ubuntu 9.10 [03:43] im trying to see data coming from my Yaesu FT817 to a USB to Serial adapter. the Yaesu is talking at 38400 baud, now can i see the data streaming to the serialport ? [03:43] dylanpatterson: under the Updates tab [03:44] dylanpatterson: "unsupported updates" sorry [03:44] maco, ok i checked it.. now..? [03:44] whats a good linux distro that will let me install it from usb into an encrypted lvm? [03:45] dylanpatterson: hit ok and itll offer to reload the package list. let it. [03:45] maco, ok done === chaky_ is now known as chaky [03:46] dylanpatterson, problem is the drivers should already be installed in karmic, type modprobe -l |grep ath5k [03:46] dylanpatterson, in a terminal type "mod probe -l | grep ath5k" [03:47] how do I see background processes, like the task manager in windows [03:47] activity monitor s4z3n [03:47] s4z3n, in a terminal type "top" [03:48] hi all [03:48] s4z3n, you can also install "system monitor" [03:48] s4z3n: System > Administration > System Monitor [03:48] Im having an issue with deluge when everytime I open it it doesn't show itself [03:48] s4z3n: System->Administration->System Monitor-> Processes :) [03:48] thanks [03:49] in ubuntu the autodetect is saying there is bad sectors on my old hdd. [03:49] mezquitale, ok. popped up kernel/driver/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko [03:49] Ve_: take a backup ASAP and buy a new hard drive [03:49] s4z3n, open deluge in a terminal, if there are any errors when you run deluge you will see them in a terminal [03:49] i dont thinkk it has any bad sectors. how can i be sure its acurate [03:49] which is the better virtual machine software - virtual-box or vmplayer 3.0 ? [03:49] !paste > dylanpatterson [03:49] dylanpatterson, please see my private message [03:50] ohh cool trick [03:50] ubottu: you have any clue ^ [03:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:50] dylanpatterson, type "iwconfig"and give us the results using paste bin [03:50] Ve_: well it's asking the disk about its status, but if you want a full report, install "smartmontools" and use it [03:50] !paste > coolkehon [03:50] Ve_, you just installed karmic? [03:50] coolkehon, please see my private message [03:50] thanks maco [03:51] maco: is smartmontools in synaptic [03:51] Ve_: yes [03:52] I closed the terminal and deluge shut down [03:52] maco, are you using karmic? I always get the same error on both my laptop and desktop, something about my hard drive dying and failure is imminent but I use fsck to check the hard drive and everything is fine [03:53] whats teh differance between synaptic and the new ubuntu software center [03:53] mezquitale: yes i am using karmic. fsck wont tell you squat about bad sectors. [03:53] how do i get minicom to see data comming to the serial port ? [03:53] Ve_ the software center is inferior to synaptic [03:53] Ve_: Nothing but the user interface. [03:53] mezquitale: smartmontools asks the disk for its status. fsck is about the filesystem. data can be corrupting due to bad sectors while the filesystem is in a "sane" state [03:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/332824/ [03:54] Ve_, its more for ubuntu newbies, it works but not as elaborate/powerful as synaptic [03:54] if you know synaptic you can remove software center [03:55] sw center is for "grandma remix" lol [03:55] I am about ready to pull my hair out getting pulseaudio to work with Lingot or Gtkguitune has anyone gotten it to work without Jack or any other third party means? [03:55] am not getting the option to 'shutdown\reboot\hibernate' directly from the login screen. Used to get it earlier, is this a result of a update or a corrupt files. What do you think guys ?? [03:56] mezquitale: how do determine if anything that came up on the terminal is an error? [03:56] mezquitale, http://paste.ubuntu.com/332824/ [03:56] s4z3n, you ran deluge in a terminal? did you see the deluge client pop up? [03:56] how come there is nothing except deb cdrom source in my sources.list [03:57] so... i enabled advanced desktop effects and it installed a video driver, now that ive rebooted i can't get Xorg to boot. It's trying to use my wacom tablet as a monitor? [03:57] dylanpatterson, your wireless card is up and running just up, thank you very much, that'll be 5 euros please [03:57] Lol [03:57] 5 euro's thats abit cheap [03:57] minimec: well i looked for smartmontools in ubuntu software centre its not there but it is in synaptic so there [03:57] I am about ready to pull my hair out getting pulseaudio to work with Lingot or Gtkguitune has anyone gotten it to work without Jack or any other third party means? [03:57] l43a2, ok well break even if a hug is included [03:57] hell [03:57] hello [03:57] mezquitale: yeah it popped back up along with a list of directories in the terminal [03:58] Satzo: zerq: We may laugh now. I am sure we won't anymore in a year or so... [03:58] mezquitale, lol! The little wifi button is still orange.. but it say wireless networks available [03:58] s4z3n, ok so now you can see the client then? [03:58] minimec, id rather apt-get than software center :P [03:58] do u know if "Intel Graphics 4500M" is compatible with 9.10 ? [03:58] mezquitale: yeah, but when I close down the terminal deluge goes with it [03:59] no answer for my problem? [03:59] dylanpatterson, only windows blindly connects you to any wireless connection available, you have to configure your card to work with your router, do you have a network router? [03:59] Ve_: You are right. The SoftwareCentre is meant to be a quickView/Find application. Synaptic is the SwissArmyKnife. ;) [03:59] s4z3n, when you rundeluge put a "&" at the end [04:00] Satzo: So do I ... [04:00] ok then, is there any way to see data streaming in to the serial port (Like with ms' hypterminal) ? [04:00] minimec: i have installed smartmontools where is it [04:00] mezquitale, yeah but i use it in many different areas.. what if im in an airport and dont have access to the router..? [04:00] minimec alt f2 smartmontoolsdid nothing [04:01] * smartmontools did nothing [04:01] dylanpatterson: what if? you just click on the wifi icon and look for the airport SSID and connect. [04:01] dylanpatterson, you can double click on network manager, it should be somewhere in your task bar all the way to the right, if you see a network name with a little lock on it, it means it has security enabled [04:01] do you guys have the option to shutdown\reboot\hibernate directly from login screen in 9.10 ? cause i don't :( [04:01] minimec: sux this [04:02] Ve_: /usr/sbin/smartctl [04:02] dylanpatterson: it's the exact same behaviour as in windows machines on the road... [04:02] I am about ready to pull my hair out getting pulseaudio to work with Lingot or Gtkguitune has anyone gotten it to work without Jack or any other third party means? [04:02] mezquitale, nothing happened [04:03] s4z3n, you typed "deluge&" and nothing happened?? [04:03] yeah [04:03] s4z3n, type "ps aux|grep deluge" to see if deluge is up and running [04:04] Ve_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/smartmontools/filelist [04:04] minimec: it wont open [04:04] Ve_: sbin generally means 'sudo'... [04:04] ah ok thanks [04:05] brian: sudo apt-get install padevchooser pavumeter pavucontrol paprefs paman [04:05] Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to create a bootable cdrom from a boot image that was designed for a floppy disk? [04:05] minimec: how do i open that as sudo [04:05] brian_, what's Lingot and Gtkguitune? [04:06] mezquitale, I retried the "deluge&"and it worked [04:06] Ve_: F2 gnome-terminal, then 'sudo .....' [04:06] mezquitale: it is a program that allows me to tune a guitar or any other instrument using my microphone [04:07] brian_, thanks for the tip, i'll install it on my ubuntustudio distro, good luck with getting your appz to work with normal ubuntu flavor [04:07] minimec: ok i see its a terminal application. [04:07] now whats teh hdd device string [04:08] minimec: now whats teh hdd device string === voss is now known as voss2 [04:08] anyone know how to check device string/ address [04:08] mezquitale: actually, I am using linux mint because none of the flavors have helped me so far at all. So I always end up back here and i usually never recieve help. [04:09] brian_, have you ever tried ubuntustudio? [04:09] Ve_: I have no idea what you want to do. My answer was about the synaptic/software centre gui. The rest was ubuntu basics... [04:10] minimec: i am wanting to use smartmontools to check my hdd that ubuntu os said was faulty ok that was what i asked ok. [04:10] mezquitale: I don't have a dvd drive to burn it to a disk and i don't have usb boot capability. Also, i think it suffers from the same pulseaudio problems [04:10] heh, answered my own question: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/floppy_image_on_cd.htm [04:12] minimec: is smartctl = smartmontools === jerald is now known as prappl93 [04:12] brian_, sorry to hear that, i think ubuntu studio does have some problems with pulseaudio but JACK works fine, as well as ardour, hydrogen, etc. etc. And tomorrow when I have the time I'll test lingot [04:13] where are floodbot1 and floodbot2 [04:13] My Ubuntu 9.10 freezes when I first turn it on a little bit then when it logs in it usually goes slowly for a while then finally catches up. Firefox and other programs tend to freeze a lot though. Is there a known issue that I could fix? And, how do I prevent the "broken battery" message from showing up every time I log in? [04:13] I have no problems whatsoever with pulseaudio on my studio box [04:13] heyas [04:14] no [04:14] get out [04:14] will vbox 3.1 for ubuntu need to wait until the next spring release of ubuntu or when will it come out? [04:14] Ve_: I had these messages with alpha stages of karmic on my notebook. I didn't care about it and I don't have any problems now. YOu could try gparted with a graphical interface to check your disks... [04:15] get out? [04:15] who? [04:15] minerva: just ignore that person [04:16] prappl93, it could be that your machine doesnt play nice with karmic, jaunty refused to work with my desktop and laptop so i used intrepid until karmic came out, it could also be an issue with your hardware, you can try using intrepid or jaunty and see if it works on your machine [04:16] gparted wont tell me if its got bad sectors minimec [04:17] mezquitale : Well, theoretically i could get all these apps to work if i use JACK, but i don't have a realtime kernel like Ubuntu Studio, I want this system to work the way it did back in the Fiesty days, but there is no way to revert back to esound anymore. Linux is stabbing itself in the groin by going to pulseaudio. [04:17] Ve_: That is true, but normally you get a fsck check all 30 mounts. If that works out and gparted recognizes your partitions.... [04:17] minimec: brb [04:18] brian_, you want t use the real time kernel if you want to minimize latency, it should work fine to just tune your guitar [04:18] must i install ubuntu from cd? [04:18] hi im looking for a program which can open MUS files (finale notepad) [04:18] finale = program [04:18] is there a way to install it from the download without transferring it to some other media? [04:19] Raydiation, google lilypond [04:20] mezquitale : I would also like to use guitarix and LMMS and those do require minimal latency. I figure if i fix lingot first, i should be headed in the right direction to fix those two next. [04:21] brian_, it's going to be painful but good luck! I actually waited to use JACK until ubuntu studio was released, in between do you know of a website that can show me the basic guitar scales? [04:22] minimec: is smartctl = smartmontools [04:22] Ve_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/smartmontools/filelist === apw_ is now known as wedgehead [04:22] mezquitale, tons of those on the net [04:22] minimec: i dont use jaunty i have karmic [04:22] mezquitale : I know a good site for all of your guitar learning needs. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ [04:22] Ve_: coesn't matter... === wedgehead is now known as superluminosity [04:23] brian_, thanks [04:23] brian_, send me a PM [04:23] mzuverink, Hey Marc === gmaculo_ is now known as gmaculo [04:23] you around [04:24] cj_, not here, us chatting is offtopic, this is the wrong forum [04:24] haha you linux guys [04:25] i have probem in my kubuntu i have instaled as dual boot with winVista i used kubuntu for a week its working find but now when i start it display a blank screen .. can anyone help me. [04:26] Hi [04:26] i tried Recovery mode alos. [04:26] also [04:26] 01:26:45 up 12:31, 1 user, load average: 0.91, 0.64, 0.55 [04:26] Could my problems be with Compiz? I've read other people have problems with it... [04:27] hi i have i have probem in my kubuntu i have instaled as dual boot with winVista i used kubuntu for a week its working find but now when i start it display a blank screen .. can anyone help me. [04:27] Any one help me. [04:27] Aruna, can you login as a standalone user? [04:27] Aruna: Di you try to load an older kernel, not just the recovery mode of the newest kernel? ;) [04:28] * minerva likes open source [04:28] ok [04:29] if i'm trying to install direct, unsing UNetbootin, do I send it to c drive? [04:29] Satzo: doesnt work, this thing can only produce sheets from latex files [04:30] i tried ... when i boot it askes me... ubuntu ubuntu (revovery mode ) Win Vista [04:30] i choose Ubuntu [04:30] Raydiation, there are a few others out there. [04:30] hi how do i mount hdd sda2 [04:30] and in some second it displays blank screen [04:30] i dont use finale so im not versed [04:30] i dont get any output on the screen [04:31] Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31.15 Generic [04:31] ok this could get ugly [04:32] Is my OS Crashed ? [04:32] Aruna: So this is the only kernel you can choose? How did you install your system? With a normal live cd-rom? [04:32] Aruna, your gui is probably screwed up i doubt the os crashed [04:32] it's working!..... [04:33] so sad that something so simple can make me so happy [04:33] i downloaded the ISO and instaleld as dual boot. [04:33] i later installed Kubuntu over my Ubuntu and i used for 3 days. [04:34] Aruna: So you started the life disk and insatalled as dual boot... During installation rocedure you had a graphical interface I guess? [04:34] I've tried KDE several times but I keep going back to gnome [04:34] Aruna: live... [04:35] hmmm [04:35] Satzo: hm seems nothing appropriate out there, i have to go for virtualbox + xp [04:35] i hate proprietary formats [04:35] yes [04:35] Hi :) im trying to make a swap partition as logical in gparted live, but when i select new, i have only the option to choose primary, logicla appears in grey. How can i create a logical partition? [04:35] heh Burning a boot floppy to a cdrom works pretty slick :) [04:35] minimec, yes but now when i select same option its displaying me blank screen instead of login screen. [04:35] Alan502: can you make an extended partition? [04:36] Aruna: So after installation you rebooted and you had a boot otpion Linux or windows. Is that correct? [04:36] minimec, yes [04:36] ChogyDan: i can make a primary partition, but not a logical [04:36] Alan502, you have a primary part already defined?? [04:36] if using LAN server such as university LAN, how to open port that being block? [04:36] minimec i have 8 options. [04:36] ChogyDan: i cant make an extended [04:36] Alan502: can you make an extended partition? [04:36] mk [04:36] ChogyDan: i can only make primary partitions [04:36] Aruna: 8 options ... [04:37] Aruna: what kind of options? [04:37] Satzo: yes, i have three primary partitions, do i need to define first where should the logicla partition go? [04:37] minimec, ubuntu generic , ubuntu generic (recovery), ubuntu generic , ubuntu generic (recovery) , memtest, memtest , win Vista d 1 win visit d2 [04:38] minimec, these are the options i am getting in the booting option. [04:38] minimec, i am just running the Memtest86 v2.11 [04:38] Aruna: As I see, you have two kernel and two recovery(kernel) options. Try to boot with the lower (older) kernel number. [04:38] Alan502: it might be that you can only have one extended partition (the one where logicals go) [04:38] if using LAN server such as university LAN, how to open port that being block? === _ged__ is now known as _ged [04:39] minimec, i tried both :( [04:39] minimec, i tried in both kurnal and both recovery mode., [04:39] ChogyDan: oh, i see. Now i realize that i do have one extended partition, but that extended partition has all its space occupied with a single primary partition, how can i move it out of there? [04:39] Aruna: If you boot the cd you used to install the system. Does that cd boot normally? [04:40] minimec, when in the time of installation yes. [04:40] minimec, i dont get any problem at the time of installation. [04:40] Aruna: And now? [04:40] ChogyDan: that way i could use my only extended partition for what i am trying to do [04:40] minimec, i run the system for a weak with no issues. hmmmmmmmm [04:41] minimec, wait... i think i run the WinVista upgrade... will that cause probelm ? [04:41] minimec, vista upgraded 4 patches.... will that cose any probem in booting of ubuntu ? [04:41] whats the best way to get flash working in ubuntu 9.10 64 bit? [04:41] Aruna: it could [04:41] :(( [04:42] Aruna: Well... I guess not, because the maste boot was not touched. You still get the boot options of grub. [04:42] then i better remove my win completely :)) [04:42] why doesn't the battery applet show the time left in my battery or the time left to charge to full? (9.10) [04:42] but if its just that, its easy to fix, if you know what you are doing :) [04:42] minimec, yes i do get the boot option... [04:42] 我曰哦,全是说英文的? [04:42] minimec, but still i am gettign Empty screen. [04:42] 第一次进来,有没有进错啊,是中文ubuntu吗 [04:42] mmm, shouldn't be necessary. try to see if that's the problem. i lack the expertise, but you should be able to boot from a live cd and chroot into your old systems... [04:43] or at least see if the files are all there. [04:43] but then again, it depends a lot on what the box is sayng when you try to boot... [04:43] !cn | baitmue_ [04:43] baitmue_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:43] Aruna: When you choose recovery, can you get a console mode? [04:44] minimec, no again blank screen. [04:44] whats the best way to get flash working in ubuntu 9.10 64 bit? [04:44] Aruna: Vista could have ..cked it up... [04:44] blank? no error message from grub, nothing? [04:44] visit is working GOOD lol [04:44] nothing.. just a blank black screen. [04:44] Aruna that's weird, i had seen something similar the other way around :P [04:44] Vista [04:45] Aruna: 9.04 or 9.10? [04:45] well, are your volumes there? your files? [04:45] 9.10 [04:45] Hi, i have a single primary partition occuping all my space from my single extended partition, for some reason i dont know. Im trying to move the whole primary partition out of my extended partition, how can i do this with gparted live? [04:45] you should start by checking that... [04:45] i have 2 drive [04:45] 就没一个人说中文? [04:45] Alan502 you can't have a primary partition inside an extended partition. [04:45] Visita in one and vista recovery and Ubuntu in another [04:45] Hi, i have a single primary partition occuping all my space from my single extended partition, for some reason i dont know. Im trying to move the whole primary partition out of my extended partition, how can i do this with gparted live? [04:46] Alan502, dont flood. [04:46] Alan502 you can't have a primary partition inside an extended partition. [04:46] any one successfully using this : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html [04:46] gorgonzola: it might be a logical then, how can i move it? [04:46] Alan502: im not sure, but i don't think thats possible. you need to copy it, in any case. [04:46] Satzo: sorry it was not intentional [04:47] hmmm [04:47] i dont knwo what to do now [04:47] Aruna: never tried that with 9.10, as krmic uses grub2. Could be, that your master boot was somehow modified... (I am not sure). Grub is loading, but noe of our otions are working... Is that correct? [04:47] is that ext4 data corruption issue with huge files solved? [04:47] remove both completely and install ubuntu [04:47] >.< ok thanks :) i think i can with a windows utility, i'll try [04:47] Aruna: it might not help... but you should begin by checking to see if the corect volumes are "still there". [04:47] Aruna: Can you load the win partition? [04:47] yes [04:47] yes [04:47] i can get Vista working [04:47] hello guys [04:48] Aruna it could be the case that vista messed with the partition map in the mbr or something like that, and grub is unable to find /boot... [04:48] when i select any Ubuntu option i cant get any scree3n. [04:48] can i drop both and install only Ubuntu ? [04:48] Aruna if that's the case, but you gotta make sure, then it is possible to restore your boot setup, rather painlessly. === rlarson89 is now known as rlarson86 [04:49] Aruna, its your box, you can delete everything and install plan9 or ITS as far as i know :P [04:49] lolol [04:49] its laptop and i dont like windows. [04:49] Alan502: np. [04:49] Aruna but it sounds a little harsh if its just a problem of volume mapping. [04:49] lol yaa :) [04:49] Aruna which in the 90% of boot issues, it is. [04:50] i dont have any main data in the laptop... and i dont like dual boot.. i may download Kubuntu and use it like windows. [04:50] Aruna: Well... Recovery mode should give you a console mode. If not... there is something wrong. You tried both kernels... You don't get a cpnsoel or a graphocal interface... [04:50] Aruna, now the problem, is that the specifics of the problem are hard to triage/troubleshoot from an irc channel... and unless you know what you are doing, it could be hard to find the error. [04:50] i dont like Windows :( [04:50] Aruna: That's odd ... [04:51] but the probem is mainly with dual booting rihgt ? [04:51] i am sure i properly shuddown Ubuntu. [04:51] minimerc: if the only thing after selecting a kernel in grub is a blank screen, then nothing is getting started beyond grub. [04:51] i dont get any thing GUI or terminal mode. [04:52] its blank screen. [04:52] Aruna: it could be a number of things. that's why you should start by checking if your partitions are still in the disks. [04:52] how to check it ? [04:52] from windows ? [04:52] Aruna if they are, and even more, if you can access the files from say, a live cd or something, then there's no reason to think that there's a problem in the actual os, but just in the bootloader. [04:52] the easiest way would be to load a live cd and try to mount them [04:53] windows will not b able to read or handle your linux partitions [04:53] can i use the CD i burnt from ISO ? [04:54] Aruna: Yes you can. [04:54] ok, so i have a USB bluetooth dongle that is confirmed to work with linux (already sync'd my bb to it on another PC). How can I get it to sync with my bluetooth headset? [04:54] Aruna yes. that is a live cd. [04:54] disk manager in windows should at least show the linux partitions, but it will probably just say "unknown" or something [04:54] i will try today evening i dont have cd now lol... but what should i do with thi.. first i put cd in drive and boot... [04:54] now... if you find something to hold your hand, you could even try to boot into that, and chroot into your system.... [04:54] then ? [04:54] Aruna but i have only seen it done, never done it on my own... [04:54] :( [04:55] CodeMunkey, http://www.bluez.org/ [04:55] Aruna: you put the cd in the tray... it should show a menu. choose the option "try ubuntu" or something like that. [04:55] Satzo: i have it, it loads the icon, i load device search, but it doesn't tell me when it's scanning or anything so i can't tell what's going wrong [04:56] is the bluetooth manager running on your ubuntu installation? [04:56] i dont have any bt devices so i cant help very much [04:56] Aruna: in any case, what you want to do is go into the live cd environment, and see if your partitions are still there. if they are, try to mount them. if they mount, try to acces some files, see if everything looks fine. [04:56] gorgonzola, then ? [04:56] Aruna a thorough test would involve trying to load the old system from the live cd, but that might be too complicated. [04:57] Aruna IF everything is in order... then you can be certain that the problem is in the bootloader :) [04:57] Aruna if that's the case, it should be simple to fix it... but then it gets foggy, as the problems in the bootloader that could cause your symptons sound a little esoteric. [04:57] gorgonzola, tooo technical.. better kill Windows and install U/Kubuntu lol [04:58] Aruna: kk, was just trying to save your files... i know its simple to do if you have the skill, but it can sound intimidating if you have no experience with this kind of things. [04:59] gorgonzola: "little esoteric" was a nice way to describe it... [04:59] hey im trying to recover some data from a scratched CD, what are some good ubuntu programs for data recovery? [04:59] Aruna: anyway... good luck :) [04:59] :( i am new to installation of ubuntu and troubleshooting :( [04:59] minimerc: well, it is :S grub normally cries a lot when it cant find the damn kernel... [04:59] why does my machine reboot perpetually after a fresh 32-bit karmic install with nvidia drivers? [05:00] AlcohPoison1390, did you do anything to the CD yet? im asking for a good reason [05:00] well its a friend of mines and he dropped his xbox and there is a scratch all the way around [05:01] ok... [05:01] it still runs, but it shuts off after a while [05:01] so im thinking that the data is recoverable, but the disc is too badly damaged to work [05:01] if you have some turtle wax handy, polish the disc before you try data recovery. if you can, use a drive you dont care about(like an old cdrom or dvd rom drive). if you dont have turtle wax, wd-40 or pam spray will do [05:01] i assume you are making a copy of the disc? [05:02] yes [05:02] gorgonzola: I am not used to this new grub2 thing yet, and the old 'mate' cried "Grub Error 17" or something... [05:02] gorgonzola, if i need to install only ubuntu.. i have 2 particiion in my laptop. when installeing if i tell use completely will ubuntu removes 2 partition to one ? [05:02] good. because i wouldnt use a disc after the recipe i mentioned in an xbox [05:02] ive had good luck polishing the surface,... the principle is the same as waxing a car [05:02] ok, but are you saying that after i polish it it will work? [05:02] i mean [05:02] it should [05:02] in an xbox [05:02] polish it, then copy it [05:03] no dont use in the xbox.. unless you wana risk it [05:03] i mentioned an old reader for a reason [05:03] cant i try to copy it first so that if i mess it up then ill have the data at least? [05:03] i would [05:03] copy first [05:03] ok, so whats a good recovery program? [05:04] any ideas re: getting bluetooth to pair? http://tons.pastebin.com/d1082b724 [05:04] try my method first, you might not need a recovery app [05:04] your goal is a 1:1 copy, not recovered error-prone data [05:04] ok ill try that then === bunshiong is now known as brian99999 [05:05] im going to copy, make a new disc, try that disc, if that doesnt work, then ill try polishing and another copy, then make a new disc [05:05] minimerc: damn, i totally forgot that we are on grub2 now! then for sure its the old error 17, but in the new version [05:05] and if that doesnt work then ill try data recovery === frivol is now known as flippo [05:06] Aruna if you are only going to instal ubuntu, then you can partition the disk as you please... it could be nicer to start with a clean slate, and i would suggest a separate partition for /home, but its up to you [05:07] Ok. those were my five minutes of daily support. good luck Aruna, good night minimerc, etc. bye bye [05:07] greetings all, Anyone have any experience with 9.10 Server DMRAID on Intel ICH10R? [05:07] gorgonzola, than you so much :) [05:07] hi all [05:08] im using ubuntu [05:08] hi [05:08] Hello [05:08] i tried to install ubuntu karmic on new partition.

[05:25] 4gb [05:25] nigtv: just edit /etc/apt/sources.list [05:25] Aruna: step 1: make sure to have all your data backed up. step 2: fire up gparted, format the win disk into ext3. :) [05:25] ChogyDan2: i didnt see them in there, but lemme double check, that would seem logical lol [05:26] MaXlMuS: well, if you don't know which one you'd like better, try both and see which one you like. at the end of the day, the choice of the DE is a subjective personal choice. [05:26] nigtv: it might be in soureces.d [05:26] MaXlMuS: Why did you ask your question ... *rofl* [05:26] nigtv, "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in yr console [05:26] ChogyDan2: they arent in there, ill check that [05:26] reactor: they arent in that file [05:26] nigtv: they're not in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

[05:37] that's how ubuntu is going to take over the world [05:37] THERE'S NO UNINSTALLER [05:38] ok and how about the size in GB?

[06:06] techtronic: np [06:06] Flannel, so no on xampp? find something directly on lamp?

[06:35] greezmunkey: http://pastie.org/723079 [06:35] The restoration to defaults resulted in "intrepid" instead of jaunty, since this system was upgraded from intrepid to jaunty at one point.

[06:39] greezmunkey: well, everything works fine, even http works, im surfing at the moment. Only when i try to update debs it acts weird.

[07:02] haters gonna hate [07:02] greezmunkey: have you tried the "create new network" thing -- and "shared to other computers" setting? [07:02] I don't think wicd can do that. [07:02] nmvictor: I saw that too and it looked promising, but last release for that was 2002 [07:02] box, wicd doesn't do VPN, but it does do ICS out of the box. Install of wicd will remove NM as well. [07:02] DanaG, as far as I could tell that would only create an ad-hoc wireless network, i was trying to create an ad-hoc ethernet network [07:02] nmvictor: I guess if it works though [07:02] Nope, it can do ethernet, too. [07:02] You just have to get there through "connection editor". [07:02] greezmunkey, cool, i'll try that, thanks for help [07:03] And then the wired tab. [07:03] DanaG, haha, man, this interface is all confusing [07:04] box: ? as in 802.11? [07:04] box, the only wierd thing is that if you are going from using an ICS, back to wireless, or Ethernet, you will have to disable ICS or neither will work alone. (found that one out today) :) [07:04] I did "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf" and then "sudo apt-get update" and nothing, synaptic still won't run [07:05] ya [07:05] phix, as in i can't tell what "create new network" even means [07:05] hmmmm ok [07:05] I dnt know either [07:06] i don't know why i would want to put in more than one ipv4 addresses?? [07:06] is this specifying the clients? [07:06] box: ? [07:06] Nope, it's adding virtual addresses that you can contact THIS box on. [07:06] Check the drop-down... "shared to other computers". [07:06] ohhhh, so am i creating new virtual devices like alongside eth0? [07:06] That'll be like the LAN port on a router. [07:06] box, wicd is the best ive found out there for wireless network usage [07:06] hy [07:07] Are you trying to get the thing to act as a router, or what? [07:07] yeah wicd is nice [07:07] yes [07:07] via ethernet, and then connect out to internet via wifi [07:07] hmmmm [07:07] box: if the wifi you are using is 802.11[abcn] then that is actually using Ethernet :) [07:08] c = g [07:08] well i'm not worried about the wifi [07:08] lol [07:08] box, I setup a new pc in my garage via this laptop using ICS. Worked pretty slick. [07:08] can somebody help me? [07:08] DanaG, what does "shared to other computers" even do? does that just automatically setup ICS? [07:08] box: ok :) so when you say ethernet you could be meaning the wifi too as it is an ambiguous word that applies to more than one media :) [07:08] Yeah. [07:09] I didn't choose to encrypt my home directory at installation, can I do it at a later date....if so, how? [07:09] Wifi is a different tab. [07:09] greezmunkey, yeah ICS is nice, i'm just trying to get it nice and smoothed out here. [07:09] nmvictor: You can use curses "directly" with JNI but I don't know how well a C API can really fit in a java application [07:09] rolo, you havent asked for help with anything [07:09] box, you will. [07:09] cbx333_, truecrypt is an alternative [07:09] phix, oh, my bad O_O [07:09] moDumass synaptic won't run [07:09] box: you can either run ethernet over fibre if you want, it is a layer 2 protocol :) not layer 1 [07:09] If you want to be sure it uses the right interface for sharing-out, you can put the MAC address in the box. [07:09] ethernet over ip... [07:09] rolo, yeh i cant help you sorry [07:09] rolo: http://www.google.com/search?q=apt-get+doesn%27t+run&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [07:09] box: hehe no no no I am teaching you :P <3 [07:09] rolo, i dont know jack, but ive heard he might know [07:10] ip over carrier pigeon: [07:10] http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html [07:10] DanaG: yup :) [07:10] Jordan_U: maybe the release dates are due to the fact that most people are moving from such interface programming [07:10] ya ya ya [07:10] about the wifi connection [07:10] my boot freezes at ieee1394 for about 4 min any suggestions to speed it up [07:10] who knows how to start a wireless connection in pure cli? [07:11] DanaG, i don't even specify an IP for "Shared to other computers"? [07:11] Jordan_U: so curses is a C API, and whats that JNI? [07:11] how do i downgrade my xorg to work with nvidia cards ? [07:11] chow: use iwconfig [07:11] Right... it creates the internal IP automatically. [07:11] methods1: why do you need to downgrade? [07:11] i'm trying to play a dvd movie, it gets auto-mounted but totem, vlc, mplayer, etc wont play it. any ideas? [07:11] oh, and handy hint: check "available to all users" and it'll start even before login. [07:11] ok, thank you Billiard! [07:11] what's the apt command to list all the installed packages? [07:12] nmvictor: Java Native Interface, it's a way to use native API's from java [07:12] DanaG, so how would i know what it is to connect to it via another comp? or does it setup up DHCP too? [07:12] infid: install restricted extras? might need to install the css lib as well [07:12] Billiard: i read that the newer xorg doesn't support 3d with legacy nvidia cards... because the nv driver doesn't support it [07:12] DanaG, oh, that's what that means [07:12] infid, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:12] i have restricted extras :) [07:12] methods1: which card do you have? [07:12] nvidia vanta [07:12] i read that i need to go back to xorg7.3 [07:12] Billiard: ace of spades. you? [07:13] and libdvdcss says 'not available' [07:13] hi! === RussellAlan is now known as KronicKoH [07:13] methods1: That's ATI and only for those cards that can't get support with the open source drivers ( the open source drivers for ati are currently much better than the open source nvidia drivers ) [07:13] infid: you need to use this command to install it, its not in the repos, hold on ill get the command [07:13] if I have enabled my vinagre - remote desktop, how do I connect to it using another Ubuntu machine? [07:13] "shared to other computer" makes it use dnsmasq automatically. [07:13] oh, nvidia legacy... yeah, a royal pain, [07:14] does anyone here use gimmie with ubuntu? [07:14] Jordan_U: the nv driver for me since i upgraded does not get 3d support and installing the old nvidia module doesn't work with xorg anymore i get undefined symbol errors [07:14] even the 96 drivers just *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* [07:14] DanaG, so essentially that's a yes, in that I don't have to configure the IP manually? [07:14] Yeah, "shared out" is automatic and simple. [07:14] infid: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [07:14] *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* *segfault* [07:14] Gotta' love nvidia. [07:15] Jordan_U: Billiard right here it says that there is no 3d acceleration in nv http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/nv [07:15] methods1: use the nvidia driver [07:15] methods1: I know that nv does not have 3D support [07:15] At least nouveau doesn't suck like nv does. [07:16] Anyone? How do I connect to a Vinagre enabled system from another PC? [07:16] DanaG, sweet, shared out works nicely. thanks. [07:16] Billiard: the legacy nvidia driver does not work anymore... i got to the nvidia site and download the same driver i've done for years and it's getting undefined symbol errors when i try to start x [07:16] methods1: try from the package manager? [07:16] Jordan_U: so then where you referring to the nvidia driver ? [07:16] legacy as in 96, or as in 70-something? [07:16] Billiard: there is like 20 diff nvidia-legacy packages and i tried all of them [07:16] DanaG: nvidia never caused me any segfaults [07:16] methods1: and they did what? [07:17] DanaG: as in the one you download from nvidia web site like i've done for 10 years for these tnt based cards [07:17] Did you try it on a geforce "4" (HAH, that's a big fat lie!) MX? [07:17] cyberjorge, use vnc from a windows pc?? [07:17] Billiard: they give me no 3d [07:17] DanaG: 440mx [07:17] my boot freezes at ieee1394 for about 4 min any suggestions to speed it up [07:17] Weird... for me, it segfaults every time I try to start Xorg. [07:17] methods1: did you make sure the nvidia driver was enabled in xorg.conf [07:17] Had to give up on it, and go to nouveau. [07:17] Billiard: they all use the nv driver from what i can see cause none of them update my xorg.conf file and change the driver line [07:17] any help on what's the apt command to list all the installed packages? [07:17] Luckily, that's on a spare, rarely-used laptop. [07:17] i can't find one [07:17] Billiard: if i try to use nvidia then xorg does not start [07:17] shredder12: its a dpkg command actually "dpkg -l" [07:18] shredder12: note thats a small L not a number 1 [07:18] greezmunkey: I will another Ubuntu machine to control another Vinagre enabled Ubuntu machine [07:18] Billiard: i can try right now since i just removed all the nvidia packages... which one should i install ? [07:18] methods1: Installing the drivers alone will not ediit your xorg.conf ( unless you use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ) [07:18] maco: thanks maco... [07:19] methods1: which card is it? [07:19] Jordan_U: yes i know i edited and added the nvidia my self... xorg would not work after that... hardware drivers does not show my card anymore since hardy [07:19] Billiard: nvidia vanta [07:19] methods1: I didn't realize quite how old your card was though, ati cut support for cards that were only a few years old so I figured that was what you had heard about [07:19] Billiard: i ran that command and it installed but totem, vlc, etc still keep crashing when i try to play my dvd [07:19] cyberjorge, that would be "Remote Desktop Viewer" then I believe. [07:20] methods1: What is the output of "lspci | grep VGA" ? [07:20] infid: im not sure what else to try [07:20] Jordan_U: i have a laptop that has an ati radeon and that one is bricked too... i couldn't for hte life of me get 3d to work... supposedly older cards have lost 3d support with newer xorg... i just need one of these machiens to work so i can test a game i just ported to linux which I'm very excited about but i can't even finish what i'm doing cause none of the machines i have that would work for 10 years is working lol [07:21] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV6 [Vanta/Vanta LT] (rev 15) [07:21] I was wondering if anyone could tell me which ports emesene uses for webcam? [07:21] methods1: What happens when you try to use the default ( open source ) ati drivers? [07:21] hmm, what sort of video card is it? [07:21] methods1: the ATI one. [07:22] "radeon" is not very specific. [07:22] dajiahao [07:22] Jordan_U: yea i went down the whole road of the open ones and fglrx and it worked fine but with newer xorg's the old drivers dont' work and the new drivers don't support the old radeon mobility cards anymore that were laptop onboard [07:22] DanaG: what ? [07:22] Hmm, you should be able to use "radeon" driver just fine with old cards. [07:22] methods1: Again, for ATI it was only the proprietary driver that dropped support for older cards ( though some cards never had 3D support with the open source drivers ) [07:22] DanaG: can get 3d ? [07:23] Jordan_U: with 3d ? [07:23] I don't know of any non-ancient (ancient as in Rage IIC) cards that don't have at least basic 3D. [07:23] s/cards/ATI cards/ [07:23] greezmunkey: Oh! I got it from Applications - Internet, Thanks! [07:23] cyberjorge, no worries! [07:23] i'm using sdl in my project and for some reason i was getting segfaults down in libc trying to use a normal 32 bit buffer so i figured why not upgrade everything because this is probably fixed bugs... but now I'm in a world of trouble getting 3d [07:23] methods1: Depends on the card, but I get 3D support with my ati card with the open source driver ( no longer supported by fglrx ) [07:24] Billiard: actually it does work now that i've ejected the dvd and remounted it after installing css, thanks :) [07:24] well ati opened the specs recently right so can't the open source drivers provide all the features that fglrx use to ? [07:24] methods1: And I think most cards no longer supported by fglrx have at least some 3D support with the open drivers [07:24] is there any anti theft software for ubuntu? [07:25] iptables [07:25] Billiard: that css lib, is that for "wider" support of dvd's? I don't think I have that one, yet I can play dvd's?!? [07:25] brando753, antitheft software? [07:25] so which driver do you guys think i should try for my nvidia card ? [07:25] i think it's too play proprietary or enrypted dvds [07:25] At least a Radeon 7000 is more useful than a GeForce (1+1=)4! MX card. [07:26] !nvidia [07:26] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:26] hi everyone [07:26] methods1: What is the output of "lspci | grep VGA" ?

NOT. [07:27] Segmentation fault [07:27] Madpilot: yes windows has similar software for laptops, when the computer is connected to the internet it sends its IP and time to a server so if the laptop is stolen you can see where its last being used [07:28] Madpilot, he means DRM [07:28] I have a very small question: whats the best express card I can use with my laptop for Ubuntu 9.10? Want something realtively easy to setup and go. [07:28] Madpilot, nvm [07:28] lovre it says Segmentation fault [07:28] brando753, i think this is called bootjack [07:28] you know the music industry sucks when the best album you can find at HMV is spinal tap [07:28] brando753, news to me - not a laptop owner nor a Windows user, though. [07:29] greezmunkey: its for decrypting dvds with css [07:29] brando753, it's something you can do with console scripts alone. [07:29] DanaG: does taht link say I'm in bad shape ?

[09:03] kanhaiya_kk: all partitions have a lost+found directory [09:03] is there any better way to acces an exchange server than evolution? the plugin just sucks :( [09:03] Billiard: that partition now contains only lost+found directory [09:03] every apt command I issue barfs because i think the library is hosed (had a bad shutdown, fsck found a bunch of hosed inodes - suspecting one of them was that library) [09:03] kanhaiya_kk: you formated it then, its empty [09:03] and all my data is there in that directory in #343535 format [09:03] Viss what were u trying to do [09:03] wooo! [09:03] well I woke up this morning to a kernel panic.

It looks like Pulseaudio has died (again) - from the Pulseaduio manager I no longer see a server listed, connecting back to my local pulseaudio service but it times out. Is there a way to get pulseaudio (or any audio) working without a reboot, and is there any way I can stop my sound sponteneously failing? I've got to say I am really unim [11:27] Blinkee: then it's simple. remount / as read-only and dd an image to /home [11:27] eddie128, use live boot cd and change it that way [11:28] blinkee Cool. Will do it now. bbak. [11:28] Blinkee: doing it in single user mode doesn't hurt [11:28] ok mako-sama u can make / read only even while the system(gnome) is up? gnome/xorg wont complain? [11:28] hi question .. i have 2 nic cards, both are plugged into different routers, i run vmware-server .. and i would like my vmserver to use 1 network while my box uses the other, i have vmware server all setup and everything however it seems as tho all my traffic is being forwarded over that network via the other one .. could i change this with just a route command, or do i need iptables involved ? [11:28] in the end, id love to run a script to do this while i take a break from the machine mako-sama [11:29] Blinkee: gnome/xorg should not complain. [11:29] vvpalin: I'd ask in #vmware its a config in the vmware settings, not the VM session [11:29] Blinkee, thanks for the help I am unsure how to do it in the system, it must be possible as pulse can identify a program which is recording or playing, not a massive jump to assign a output device for that program. I would like to avoid using a vm if possible [11:29] Blinkee: unless you have /tmp in / [11:29] I connect to my windows box with "Terminal Server Client". How can I copy paste from ubuntu in windows? [11:29] no ActionParsnip its not a vmware question its a routing question ... if you have 2 network cards how do you specify which one your box uses [11:30] Blinkee: the internet works fine on my pc. Out of the Box! But it doesn't work on the Laptop. It tryis the connection (little icon spinning) and then just says it's disconnected.... [11:30] Should I abandon pulseaudio and go back to ALSA, which admitedly was giving me as many problems? [11:30] ok. 1 last question(i think) as i think i got it... how do i remount / (while live)as read-only? ------ i made ./tmp its own mount in partition. [11:30] Blinkee: don't know what more to say [11:30] Wipster, i hear ya, my answer is quick n dirty >:D [11:30] mako-sama: okay what command must i execute with the name of the device.....please [11:31] hey [11:31] I have a folder iw ant to zip and send to a windows machine to then unzip [11:31] vvpalin: do you want the traffic to the virtual machine to use one NIC and the host to use another for traffic?

[11:34] At this point I'd even accept "lol it sux" [11:34] its a audio server [11:34] ActionParsnip, thank you .. i asked in vmware and they actually told me to just bring up the adapter and not dhcp it [11:34] thank you for your help [11:34] i do not quite understand what you are saying, but i think i get it. I will try to turn the modem off and turn it on again but connected to the laptop [11:34] vvpalin, good to know. :) [11:35] Haert: zip -r name_of_file.zip folder [11:35] nelson88741, a mac-address filters only allows listed devices to log into your subnet. [11:35] vvpalin: np man, the OS only sees the NIC you give it, the config of that card is configured in the VMWare software [11:35] CosmiChaos: Excellent, thank you. How well supported is it, roughly? Should I use ALSA instead? I have audio problems that need a reboot of my machine daily. [11:35] nelson88741, if you have such add the nic-mac of your laptop to that list [11:35] Haert: or you can right click the folder and find some goodies there ;) [11:36] i will be right back to say you sommething [11:36] CosmiChaos: Excellent, thank you. How well supported is it, roughly? Should I use ALSA instead? I have audio problems that need a reboot of my machine daily. [11:36] mako-sama: ? [11:37] CosmiChaos: Alternatively - do you have any idea why pulseaudio would sponteneously fail every 24-48 hrs? [11:37] FunkyWeasel, see its default in ubuntu, so for ubuntu it is good dupported, ont know what your question is targetting aout [11:37] no [11:38] anyone here have the SoundBlaster X-Fi installed? [11:38] CHESLYN: mkfs.msdos -F32 /dev/device_name [11:38] CosmiChaos: Looking around the ubuntu forums it looks like alot of people have hard-to-resolve audio problems. Is audio such a problem on linux still? [11:38] ActionParsnip, exactly, i have mine setup to bridge to eth1 so all the dhcp is handled by the vm-os [11:38] 2.8 intel p4 512ram NO graphics card...can this compuer play online videos...hulu, youtube etc...? [11:38] FunkyWeasel, i have no problems with pulseaudio [11:38] mako-sama: thanks i'll try it [11:38] FunkyWeasel, im still deciding to drop my X-Fi in or stick with the on-board(realtek) device to avoid problems... [11:38] Balsaq: it won't boot [11:39] oh great [11:39] Balsaq: systems MUST have a video output or it will fail POST [11:39] CosmiChaos: Do you use onboard or pci soundcard? [11:39] Balsaq, i think HD would be choppy [11:39] thats the one i am getting to work on today for my friend [11:39] Balsaq: if it has onboard video it will be fine [11:39] FunkyWeasel, onboard hda_intel [11:39] it has onboard intel extreme with 32-64 mb onboard [11:39] ActionParsnip, i think he meant local video [11:39] CosmiChaos: Likewise! [11:40] Balsaq: then it will boot, thats is a graphics cards [11:40] *card [11:40] hi' [11:40] Blinkee: local video? [11:40] CosmiChaos: MCP61 High Definition Audio to be exact. [11:40] FunkyWeasel, do u have a pci audio card to test with? [11:40] it is a dell dimension 2400...it has no dedicated graphics card only the integrated one that is on the motherboard [11:40] drop it in and see if problems go away? [11:40] ActionParsnip, i dont think a onboard craphics device is a graphic CARD [11:40] no agp card [11:40] its a onboard-chip, not a card [11:41] CosmiChaos, sure it is. a chipset is a chipset [11:41] CosmiChaos: it is seen as one in the OS [11:41] yup [11:41] just the stock motherboard graphics called intel 3d extreme? [11:41] Blinkee, noooo, he said CARD, not chipset [11:41] heh [11:41] he said no graphics CARD... and he has none [11:41] no card...built in graphics [11:41] Ok question... I have 2 7800 GT cards in this PC and when I try and install the nvidia stuff and reboot my terminal goes crazy and I cannot type I use rescue mode to force generic drivers back and it boots again and here I am... I am look ing at the logs and I think I may have an issue with it knowing what card of the two to use...curious if anyoen else has experienced this and any steps I can do please =) [11:41] Blinkee: I've got a Yamaha pci card which was in there that I took out incase it was causing a conflict. But whatever I try audio seems to die every 2 days tops. [11:41] CosmiChaos: the device is seen as a graphics card in the OS which is all that matters, it also satisfys POST test and it will boot [11:41] ActionParsnip, Balsaq is not a OS but a user ;) [11:42] bla [11:42] the yamaha and the onboard audio both problematic FunkyWeasel ? [11:42] CosmiChaos: if its on a seperate card or not is moot [11:42] he has no CARD, got it??? [11:42] how can i register my nick ?? [11:42] CosmiChaos: i know, its still moot [11:42] mako-sama: the hole command just as you give me [11:42] i told him i wouldi am confused?

[11:43] tha tis cool [11:43] no idea, i dont have audio issues on either rig :/ [11:43] Balsaq: should be fine, not sure about performance with such low video ram [11:43] FunkyWeasel, did you tried sylog? [11:43] CosmiChaos: Oh dear, that's a very good point. [11:43] here are the specs...dell dimension 2400 desktop, intel 2.8 p4, 80 HD, 512 ram, onboard graphics by intel extreme 3d 32-64 mb [11:44] woow this is the best OS i ever had [11:44] onboard graphics :P..... [11:44] i am hoping the 2.8 size processor will help [11:44] Ok question... I have 2 7800 GT cards in this PC and when I try and install the nvidia stuff and reboot my terminal goes crazy and I cannot type I use rescue mode to force generic drivers back and it boots again and here I am... I am looking at the logs and I think I may have an issue with it knowing what card of the two to use...curious if anyone else has experienced this and any steps I can do please =) [11:44] Balsaq, yeah thats enough for videos, but dont try to direct render a compiz desktop and watch videos on the net with it ;) [11:44] Balsaq: should be ok, wont be amazing. I suggest you run XUbuntu to giv maximum resources to your apps [11:44] which linux distro should i put in there? [11:44] Balsaq, any [11:44] how do i giv max resolution to graphics [11:45] lighter distro the better [11:45] I'm looking to try getting into programming for ubuntu. The only experience of programming I have had before is a very little bit of C++ which I have now pretty much forgotten as well as some graphical programming in Pure-data.

[11:45] Python? is that quite self explanatory? [11:45] i use lynx, but it is not faster than firefox. how to make it faster? [11:45] there is a ton(and i mean alot) of docs, help, forums bitcrusher [11:46] I've heard of Python [11:46] Balsaq: no, something like puppy or damnsmall will be much lighter (if not as pretty) Xubuntu is fairly light too [11:46] or should i put him back in the xp home that he has completely messud up with virus? [11:46] might have a look. cheers [11:46] Balsaq, you can tune any linux distribution to a light weigth system, the question which distro just DEPENDS on your personal mood [11:46] haha CosmiChaos [11:46] Balsaq, btw this is ubuntu chan [11:46] he has xp home but he gummed it up with virus'...real bad [11:46] Balsaq, u can try ubuntu-minimal and over that u can use fluxbox [11:47] Balsaq, the microsoft virus i severywhere, we know [11:47] i figure ubuntu has the most drivers and software built in [11:47] is there any text based web beside lynx?

[12:34] meatbun: its ctrl+shift+t [12:35] in terminator ctrl-tab goes from one terminal window to the next. [12:36] Dr_Willis, ok. i ll install terminator. now. i want tab to cycle.... [12:36] jadakren, that's for new tab [12:36] meatbun: tab by itself is used by bash for completion. [12:36] MrNaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204550&page=3 [12:36] meatbun: did you try the first suggestion on that page? use xfterm4? [12:37] Dr_Willis, ya. i want to use control tab to switch to next tab [12:37] jadakren, i am about to use xfterm [12:37] meatbun: seems to be a very quick work around [12:37] ActionParsnip myspell-en-au is installed already, i've checked the basics [12:37] jadakren, i am installing terminator now... [12:38] meatbun: the other thing you could do to make keybindings easier to impliment is to use openbox instead of metacity. but this depends on how attached to metacity you currently are [12:38] Dr_Willis, so i installed terimator, how to lanuch it? [12:38] meatbun: logical answer. the 'terminator icon thats now in the menus' [12:38] MrNaz: Go to Tools --> Options --> Language settings -->Writing Aids. Place a check against check spelling as you type. Hit OK and restart open office writer.

[12:42] jadakren, i wanted to do split screen a few months ago. and i came across terminator. but then i decide to use screen instead [12:42] aaron11: you can easially change the wallpaper. and the xsplash images. or you could install the old gdm.

What is the good way for blocking ads in Midori? [12:48] Dr_Willis: The reason I want this is I have a disk with heavy disk usage and it get's full all the time...but due to this some jobs on the system fail, which depend on free space being available...

[12:49] aaron11: its fairly pointless to skin something which isnt on the screen much [12:49] Dr_Willis: haha...yeah...tht is solution too..but the users never have enough space...:) [12:50] or How to use export to set the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables? [12:50] researcher: http://blogs.sun.com/avinashjoshi/entry/using_apt_get_behind_a [12:50] rags: this is why /home/ is often on its own partiion. you could even move different users's homes to different partitions i guess. [12:50] Dr_Willis, apt search did not have it in repository... :( [12:50] rags: so the critical space could be used.

[13:04] CHESLYN: gksudo gparted [13:04] im just getting module not found [13:04] jozefk, it has no GUI, its a proxy. so you will be editing conf files and using /etc/init.d/privoxy [stop|start|restart] to control it [13:04] ActionParsnip: beside's that and GUI [13:04] Hello, does someone know if i need special drivers for a creative xifi? [13:05] jozefk: privoxy homepage/docs are a must read. :) [13:05] jozefk, helpful info : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Privoxy [13:05] Or does someone know how i activate the microphone?

[13:06] jozefk, and to clarify : you don;t need tor to use privoxy for just filtering out adverts [13:06] if it is in init.d folder, does it means it will start by itself each time I boot my OS? [13:07] jozefk, yes [13:07] not neccesarily [13:07] lll [13:07] My bash history is completely gone after every restart of the pc. Can anyone tell me what i need to set in the .bashrc file, so that the history will be saved? [13:07] i will try first one other thing and if that won't work I'll go for privoxy [13:07] jozefk, you can install sysv-rc-conf to configure what scripts in init.d you want to start at boot [13:08] but in the mean time, how to stop it running each time I boot my OS? [13:08] jozefk, but it will only affect http traffic that passes through its port. so you'll need to specify in firefox that 127.0.0.1:9050 is the address of the proxy you want firefox to send its data through [13:08] i use midori not firefox [13:08] firefox has a perfect adblock plus [13:08] jozefk, s/firefox/midori [13:09] :) [13:09] jozefk, same thing, they all have proxy configuration screens [13:09] anyone familiar with the evdev module+ [13:09] anyone familiar with creative xifi soundcards?

I want to link to a thing in /dev, that is. [13:16] Halitech: i have weird issues with plasma, system performed a few uninstalls of my sound driver, and recently KDM collapsed... [13:16] theadmin: i imagine symlinks will work. [13:17] seems like it's not at my force to undo all that, and I'm now deciding wether to configure all things over and over again, or to take the risk of using the old files... [13:17] Consul_Falx, the /home folder only holds your personal data, you could try deleting the config files for kdm and see what happens [13:17] anyone my packages is not working to get gparted so i want someone to help me with GUI.I execute ''dmesg'' to get my device name i did'nt find it [13:17] I am using the Deluge bit torrent client but when seeding noone connects.

[13:48] Peter2222: But please ask #ubuntu for more help too [13:48] I reinstalled it many times, always problems with boot [13:48] Peter2222: Im not such an experienced user [13:48] user101, you would plug the cable into it [13:48] ok, thx [13:48] Peter2222: With the same ISO [13:48] Ok [13:48] and then simultaneous with my TV [13:48] Halitech^ [13:50] I'm having a couple of problems running Pure-data in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic. does anyone know anything about this? [13:50] user101, should be, might need a splitter [13:51] ascianabhro, add a subsection like what I've added here http://pastebin.com/m168e4331 [13:51] on some java applications and others like pidgin, I lost the menu bar, any ideas ? [13:52] http://pastebin.com/m45832a2a [13:53] dassouki: it's java :) [13:53] ok [13:54] hello all [13:54] ascianabhro, http://pastebin.com/m4f1a7ee6 [13:55] epinky: er, when did pidgin start getting run in a java vm? [13:55] epinky: what should i do [13:55] Hi. Maybe this isn't the right place. I don't know. Say I edit a file on line 300. I save and close the file. What I'd like (I think I saw that before) is that the next time I'll open the same file, the cursor would already be on line 300 (last edited). Is this a plugin or a different version of vi ? [13:55] Halitech, will there be any section for driver name [13:56] dassouki: if you quit and restart the app, is it still missing? [13:56] darrend: ya and even restarting the os [13:56] darrend: it's all the java apps [13:56] plus pidgin? [13:56] Where is the file grub.conf in Ubuntu9.1 ? [13:56] awaad: was that directed towards me ? [13:56] darrend: yes [13:57] ascianabhro, it would be the section device [13:57] dassouki: with java one never knows, maybe install latest java, jdk, jre or whatever [13:57] dassouki: I am asking any one to tell me how to find the file grub.conf ? [13:57] my mp3 player wont get recognised when i plug it into the usb plug. anyone got any ideas? [13:57] Halitech, you mean under Device beside identifier [13:57] awaad: /boot/grub [13:57] I change it to "vesa" [13:57] awaad: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [13:57] awaad if u need to change grub settings install startup manager [13:58] awaad: editting it is pointless tough [13:58] john-saint: does it show up as a partition in: sudo fdisk -l [13:58] ascianabhro, yes, the first section [13:58] thanks bro [13:58] hey is it possible to use just one command to append a line to sources.list and update the repositories list? [13:58] will try and keep you pple updated [13:59] action - il try. [13:59] dassouki: which window-manager are you using? [13:59] luist: sudo echo "deb http://whatever stable non-free " | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list for example [13:59] awaad: do a search in system fies [13:59] darrend: gnome [14:00] ActionParsnip: thanks [14:00] john-saint: use tab to complete nicks ;) [14:00] How can I change the splash image in ubuntu9.1 ? [14:00] dassouki: wjicj *window-manager*? there are several you could run in gnome. Do you use Compiz / emerald for example? [14:00] luist: you will need to import the key too, karmic has a new way of adding repos in software sources but that method still works [14:00] *which [14:01] actionpasnip - i think its cured [14:01] darrend: no compiz here... don't like flashy crap [14:01] darrend: it was a random thing [14:02] john-saint: cool [14:02] john-saint: still use tab to complete nicks in irc [14:02] john-saint: makes the text you send highlight [14:02] dassouki: what was random? You said the behaviour persisted after restarts of the app or the OS [14:02] how do i do that? quite new to all this [14:03] Any one can tell me how to put an image as a background of grub in ubuntu9.1 ? [14:03] john-saint: type actionp then press tab, saves you typing the rest [14:03] I want to remove everything KDE from my system and I gave this command sudo apt-get purge -y kde* kalarm and I had to break it. then I gave the command sudo dpkg --configure -a and when I gave the same command again, it said Couldn't find package kde*. how can I fix that? [14:03] is this how i do it? [14:03] john-saint: same as in terminal [14:03] darrend: i meant it as last week everything was working fine, and this week kaboom, no menus [14:03] awaad: have you googled it ? [14:04] john-saint: like to type yours i type john- and press tab,your nick is then completed for me [14:04] after disabling compiz, alt+tab stopped working, how do can the shortcut be fixed? [14:04] dassouki : I don't know how to search about it [14:04] Kartagis, try the info here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [14:04] MikeChelen: check keyoard shortcuts in preferences [14:04] dassouki : I mean that I don't know the right words to put them in the search engines [14:04] ActionParsnip, i think i got it [14:05] ActionParsnip: dont i need to aptitude update? [14:05] Hallo! Ich versteh bei dem "cp" Befehl nicht, wenn ich einen Ordner kopieren will muss ich dann -r Variabel benutzen. Geht es mit -a auch?

[14:06] napterk: man cp [14:06] Compiz for 9.10..is finecty [14:06] napterk: -r for recursic (directory-support) and -a should be not to edit the owner and group [14:07] ActionParsnip: what is it called there? cannot find which action that is [14:07] MikeChelen: next windows maybe [14:07] hi all... back with my machine not booking karmic... live cd is fine, installed, but upon boot (GRUB1.97 shows up), it fails to mount the root disks (ext3) ... does someone have further suggestions what I can do? [14:07] ActionParsnip: if i just add the line to sources.list is it enough? dont have to update? [14:08] luist, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade [14:08] awaad: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-change-grub2-grub-pc-splash-image.html [14:08] Halitech: just update i think :P [14:09] MikeChelen: its not in there, hmm [14:09] luist: you will need the gpg key too [14:09] is there any channel for just terminal use? [14:09] ActionParsnip: whats that? [14:09] hey i have a problem with xOrg.... [14:10] !ask [14:10] 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. :-) [14:10] I wish there was a channel for termianl use [14:10] luist: it authenticates the repo, if you just run sudo apt-get update you will get a waring as there is no key for the repo, you can use it but will get a nag saying its unauthenticated [14:10] audigy6x: You mean for bash scripting? [14:11] ActionParsnip: it should be something like "move between applications" but can't find it so far [14:11] audigy6x: #bash [14:11] MikeChelen: may help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/150702 [14:11] audigy6x: #zsh [14:12] ActionParsnip: how do i get this key? [14:12] yeah Bash scripting ...and system admistration use of the teminal [14:13] MikeChelen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587201 [14:13] MikeChelen: OT, you'r the Mike Chelen on FF? (/me also just now noticed the Ubuntu room) [14:13] luist: if yuo run apt-get update you will get a code [14:13] audigy6x: for bash == #bash for using linux without a gui #debian :), for using linux with a gui #ubuntu :-) [14:13] im trying to lern how to use the terminal, and it's works well and i find i fun to. But can't see any real use for it if one have a GUI.. [14:13] iceroot: er.. no. Debian in #debian, Ubuntu in #ubuntu [14:14] ormen: consoles are very personal... /me is much faster in doing his work on the console than with GUI... [14:14] ActionParsnip: i ran it but what do you call a code :P [14:14] ormen: you pick what works best for you [14:14] luist: you will get nokey gpg etc [14:14] ActionParsnip: i ran sudo aptitude update isnt it the same? [14:15] luist: sure [14:15] hey guys i'm unable to find an image file for netbook remix, only an iso [14:15] am i just not looking it the right place or has one not been generated for some reason? [14:15] ActionParsnip: that action "move between all windows, using popup window" doesn't seem to include all open applications [14:15] Pici: #debian for terminal-questions, #ubuntu for gui-questions (i am using) :) [14:16] Hi, Ive had some annoying problems in ubuntu 9.10 and had found no solution so i decided i would try uninstalling that and installing 8.04 seeing if it would make a difference. i guess i installed 8.04 incorrectly or something because it wouldnt boot when i selected it, so i booted up windows and uninstalled it. however the dual boot screen still comes up and ubuntu is an option. can i fix this? [14:16] ActionParsnip: didnt show anything about no key [14:16] ActionParsnip: or gpg [14:16] Pici: and for ubuntu-specific questions of course [14:16] luist: cool, install away [14:16] what kinda of netbook [14:16] egonw: yeah, but one got to try diffrent things to know whats best [14:16] any ideas why my java based apps' menus have disappeared ? [14:16] Thank you ActionParsnip, that fix worked like a charm [14:16] ormen: indeed... and better try yourself instead of letting CompanyX do that for you :) freedom++ [14:17] !resetpanels > jimihendrix [14:17] jimihendrix, please see my private message [14:17] How do I install the proprietary drivers for my ATI radeon xpress card in 9.10? [14:17] egonw: yuppers, heyas egon! some great linux groups on friendfeed, the ubuntu one looks very active [14:17] !ati | bwallen [14:17] bwallen: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:17] bwallen, System - admin - hardware drivers is the best route to use [14:18] Halitech: I checked in there but nothing was listed [14:18] system/admistration/hardware driver [14:18] MikeChelen: going to listen in... maybe I should post by disks-not-mounted-on-boot problem there :) [14:18] ActionParsnip: is there a command to just update an specific package, and if its not installed, dont do anything [14:18] bwallen, are you sure its supported in 9.10? [14:18] luist: sudo apt-get --reinstall install package [14:19] ActionParsnip: if the package is not installed, it wont install it right? [14:19] bwallen, what model do you have? [14:19] Halitech: No, I"m not sure. It's a radeon xpress 1250 [14:19] luist: yes it will redownlod and install the package regardless of installed situation [14:19] can I use old software repositories like deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main universe in karmic ? [14:20] I need to install tomcat5 [14:20] c0p3rn1c: no [14:20] c0p3rn1c: use tomcat from apache.org [14:20] egonw: absolutely! besides this channel, friendfeed, twitter, and the ubuntu forums are some of the other best places to ask. it's also okay to repeat the q here after a few mins [14:20] bwallen, drop back to 8.10 or 8.04 if you want good preformance, ati dropped support http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English [14:20] and all it's dependency's [14:21] !info tomcat6 [14:21] tomcat6 (source: tomcat6): Servlet and JSP engine.

Version 6.0.20-2ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 252 kB [14:21] iceroot, ok thx [14:21] !find tomcat6 [14:21] Found: libtomcat6-java, tomcat6, tomcat6-admin, tomcat6-common, tomcat6-docs (and 2 others) [14:21] ActionParsnip, I really need v5 not v6 [14:21] MikeChelen: yeah, it's crowded here :) that said, when I drop in here now and then, I often do get could answers... it's a shame I do not have to much time for packaging anymore :( [14:21] c0p3rn1c: its a binary at there website so no need for compiling something, just install sun-java6-jdk [14:21] !find tomcat5 [14:21] Found: solr-tomcat5.5 [14:22] I have been trying to find a way to use our local mirror during my initial install. Is there a way to point the installer at a specific mirror, or do you need to use preseeding and make your own image to install from? [14:22] tomcat5_5.0.30 to be exact [14:22] oops [14:23] is there a configuration file for preferences-> Remote desktop? I want to enable it with ssh [14:23] does it exist diffrent non GUI based programs that can do grafical things like watch pics or film files? [14:23] libtomcat5-java_5.0.30-9_all.deb * [14:23] nunojpg, you can always just build an ssh tunnel first, forward the port, and then connect to remote desktop. If you only need it once in the while it might be an ok solution [14:24] ActionParsnip: hey.. this command installed the package when it was not installed... i want to update when the package is instaleld, and DO NOTHING if the package is not installed :T [14:24] vmalloc=<> where do I put his entry.. my virtual memory is set oo low [14:24] *too [14:25] Hi. I insert the liveCD to install ubuntu, but i get this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/photo.jpg why? [14:25] how do i define a variable in a shell script, i need my variable to be = to date +"%d-%m-%Y"` [14:25] did ubuntu cut the drivers for my poor lil video card :( [14:25] jevidl: but isn't VNC connections disabled by default? [14:25] also from localhost? [14:25] nunojpg, let me check :) [14:25] lyrae, what video card do you have? [14:25] Halitech: nvidia 6600gt [14:25] 'vmap allocation for size 16781312 failed: use vmalloc= to increase size.' this is the erro I'm tryign to resolve with the correct memory alloc [14:26] nunojpg, I think it is, but you just need to go to Preferences > Remote Desktop to enable it [14:26] luist: try: apt-cache policy package [14:26] egonw: have received lots of good help here, it takes some patience though when the question is difficult [14:26] nunojpg, that won't setup RD over SSH automatically, but it will enable the RD server [14:26] mine is difficult to debug, I think... no clue where to start... [14:26] lyrae, it should work [14:27] jevidl: there is a mountain between me and the computer [14:27] I only have ssh access for now... [14:27] Halitech: ATI has pretty good support in 9.10, the radeon drivers will do almost everything, even 3d effects [14:27] I don't get why the disks do not get mounted... [14:27] but if it is hard just forget it, I will do it next week on the machine [14:27] juan__, even with the X series of video cards? [14:27] nunojpg, I think I understand your question now... you want to enable remote desktop from an SSH session, not tunnel remote desktop over SSH [14:28] jevidl: owh, yeah, sorry [14:28] ActionParsnip: does that command update? [14:28] o_o === |Weegee| is now known as Weegee [14:29] anyone stream sirius on 9.10? I used mediaplayerconnectivity plugin and it was working before upgrade [14:29] Halitech: [Radeon Xpress 200M] here, not sure what the card name is but it is an express (embeded) card [14:29] i dont know if you guys can help me with my problem or not but Im at the end of my rope and really just need someone to point me in the right direction at least i have no idea what else to do. [14:30] nunojpg, hehe, sorry. Not sure for that. NX works pretty well, but that's a replacement for Remote Desktop. You could also try X forwarding over SSH, but depending on your connection speeds that might be anywhere from frustrating to unusable [14:30] PrancingAlien: what is your question? [14:30] juan__, ok, I went to an HD card so I can use the latest ATI drivers [14:30] luist: no, just shows where the package will come from and its statu [14:30] how do i remove sun completly? [14:30] Ive had some annoying problems in ubuntu 9.10 and had found no solution so i decided i would try uninstalling that and installing 8.04 seeing if it would make a difference. i guess i installed 8.04 incorrectly or something because it wouldnt boot when i selected it, so i booted up windows and uninstalled it. however the dual boot screen still comes up and ubuntu is an option. can i fix this? [14:30] how do i change flash to another sef player? flash sucks [14:31] ActionParsnip: that wont solve my problem :T i need to update only if the package is already installed [14:31] nunojpg: set up vnc on the server and use SSH as a tunnel [14:31] PrancingAlien, you would need to edit the windows bootloader [14:31] PrancingAlien: I'm sure it's fixable, but I'm not sure exactly how. Have you tried editing menu.lst? [14:31] egonw: is there an error if you try to mount them manually? [14:31] halitch & seridos.. I dont know how to do this.. I'm not very computer savvy :/ [14:32] MikeChelen: no, mounting with the live CD even worked fine (and allowed me to make back ups) [14:32] Halitech: For gaming or fancy effects you probably do need ATI drivers, but for everyday stuff you don't need it, it varies by card though [14:32] MikeChelen: I don't need a tunnel. I need to enable vnc from a terminal, I don't have gui [14:32] i'm out of battery [14:32] I will do it from the gui next week, just forget it [14:32] when trying to install apps in 9.10, it does not give me the option to click install. Am I doing something wrong after highlighting software that i want to install? [14:32] juan__, I'm not a gamer and I despise compiz [14:32] MikeChelen: I can think of a few problems... UUID not correct, ext3 module not in kernel ... ? but only message that mounting did not work and then that it boots into a shell [14:33] does anyone know? a command to update an specific package IF AND ONLY IF this package is already installed? (if its not installed already, i dont want it to be installed) [14:33] luist: apt-get safe-upgrade ? [14:33] luist: umm... aptitude safe-upgrade ? [14:34] now thinking about ssh tunnels...I have around 20 remote stations, that are using a nated internet connection(3G). I've been planning to estabilish a VPN from there to the office so that I can configure them. But maybe a ssh as a port tunnel is also a solution? [14:34] egonw: thanks ill give it a try [14:34] had anyone used read-edid? [14:34] PrancingAlien, try using the info here http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm [14:34] nunojpg, really depends on what you want to do [14:34] luist: make sure to do first: aptitude update [14:34] nunojpg: what version ubuntu server or desktop is it running? [14:34] egonw: ya thanks [14:34] nunojpg, you could try this... do "ssh user@server -X" [14:34] ubuntu server 9.10 [14:34] and then run vino-preferences === Doonz_ is now known as Doonz [14:35] nunojpg, that might let you open the Remote Desktop Preferences over SSH so you can start up the server [14:35] Hi. I insert the liveCD to install ubuntu, but i get this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/photo.jpg why? [14:35] nunojpg, if you used the server iso, is X even installed? [14:35] Halitech: Thanks I'll have a look.. I hope it helps :/ Ive been having no luck lol.. [14:35] yes, I instaled gnome [14:36] egonw: cant safe-upgrade on jaunty? [14:36] hey guys i need some help wid my ubuntu 9.10 install [14:36] PrancingAlien, hopefully it will, I've never tried it as I don't dualboot [14:36] luist: ah... try instead: upgrade or dist-upgrade [14:36] "/usr/bin/X11/xauth: creating new authority file /home/gipsy/.Xauthority" [14:36] nunojpg, ok. You might be able to use SSH and X forwarding to load the vino-preferences dialog then and get it going [14:36] can I open now X? [14:36] egonw: i think apt-get upgrade = aptitude safe-upgrade, but aptitude is better anyway because it fixes stuff [14:36] egonw: did the manual mount command require any special options? it should be mounted as root / directory right? [14:37] MikeChelen: I'll try... hang on.... (meanwhile doing extensive cdk-jchempaint rebasing :) [14:37] egonw: oh it wants to upgrade many packages... not just the one i need -.- [14:37] my panel has stopped working in ubuntu 9.10. it just the outline appears but none of the buttons.n wen i shut down it tells me panel is still openin.. wat do i do?????? [14:37] nunojpg, if you're sshd in, just try running "vino-pref" [14:37] how come i cannot install software in 9.10? I can highlight and view the software, but do not have the option higjhlighted to install. [14:37] luist: then try: aptitude install [14:38] nunojpg: you may want to install ubuntu-desktop [14:38] nunojpg, sorry, that's vino-preferences [14:38] luist: run just aptitude, the gui will let you upgrade just the app you want [14:38] egonw: but that will install the package when its not already installed... [14:38] luist: true [14:38] juan__: i need a command to do it automatically :T [14:39] luist: so, you have a list of packages, and if one of that is installed, upgrade it... ic... [14:39] my panel has stopped working in ubuntu 9.10. it just the outline appears but none of the buttons.n wen i shut down it tells me panel is still openin.. wat do i do?????? [14:39] luist: you can see if a package is installed with: dpkg -l and see is the line starts with 'ii' [14:39] d3termin3d: does your user have admin access? try "sudo apt-get update" [14:39] is there a youtube command line app ? [14:39] jevidl! cool, it opens a window over ssh [14:40] I didn't know that! [14:40] luist: but I guess you some shell script glue with a for loop [14:40] nunojpg: yup, that is called x-forwarding [14:40] italia [14:40] Mike, I will try. Thanks. [14:40] egonw: -.- [14:40] MikeChelen: I think I understand the problem!.... [14:41] MikeChelen: karmic does not have reiserfs support, correct? [14:41] hi all. I have ubuntu server 9.10 on a machine and I bumped into the "you need to load the kernel first" error when booting the machine(it's a fresh install) and I tried to use update-grub and grub-install to reconfigure and reinstall grub but it didn't work and I can't boot the machine. can you give me some advice what to do please? [14:41] per la chat italiana? [14:41] xd [14:41] hey michele [14:42] #ubuntu-it [14:42] thank you [14:42] : - ) [14:42] Hi all. Does anybody know a tool to create a multi-page tiff file from individual tiff images? [14:42] nunojpg, yeah... depending on what you're trying to do with it, it can be *very* slow, and it's probably not a substitute for remote desktop or something similar. It can however, help you out in a jam. [14:42] googling hasn't gotten me anything useful so far [14:42] taxman: didnt know tiffs could ave pages [14:42] is there like a sudo explorer [14:43] ZaNeIuM: explorer/ [14:43] ?

So far things seem like they've been resolved. I love you, lol. [14:43] luist: is the list of packages in a file?

[14:44] i need user WITHOUT password [14:44] for my parrents [14:45] like a sudu file explore gui [14:45] luist: the first bits gives you a list of installed ("^ii") packages, which are then 'install'-ed [14:45] luist: that might come close to your needs [14:45] What's a good book to learn linux ubuntu commands, etc? [14:45] nunojpg, I'd re-open that and see if your config was changed to what you want [14:45] I've been out of the Linux loop for about 10 yrs [14:45] MikeChelen: so, next question is how to 'upgrade' a reiserfs to something like ext3 or ext4 or so [14:45] ZaNeIuM: you can use "gksudo" [14:46] ZaNeIuM: what was the ticket? [14:46] egonw: ya im looking for a way to parse that and just run apt-get install package when not isntalled [14:46] Hello, ive been trying to reset my root password (it was set before by the user) in ubuntu grub without any luck.. could anybody help me?? [14:46] CatZz: enable auto login for that user in system -> admin -> login screen [14:46] if i go to recover mode , and then drop to root with that it just asks the password for maintenance [14:46] !recovery [14:46] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [14:46] CatZz: no can do, just set the account to autologin and use ssh so YOU can administer their PC and install updates [14:47] ZaNeIuM: gksudo nautilus use VERY sparingly [14:47] MikeChelen, am i giving the option with that to reset the root pass? [14:47] egonw: modifying a filesystem is a pain, probably faster to move the data off, reformat, then restore the files [14:48] hey) can someone send me 'acetoneiso'? === itch_ is now known as sisif [14:48] MikeChelen, ? [14:49] is itunes ever going to be compatible with ubuntu? [14:49] jevidl: I managed to configure it, I also might have connectivity problems now [14:49] epaphus: booting into recovery mode is supposed to let you login as root [14:49] d3termin3d, doubtful [14:49] jevidl: thanks [14:49] nunojpg, connectivity problems? [14:49] I know this may sound like a stupid question, but how can I disable shortcut key WIN+C from starting Exaile. I`ve looked under Keyboard Shortcuts menu and I found nothing there. [14:50] jevidl: internet, not working very well now [14:50] Itunes will never be ..apple will not let it happen [14:50] ActionParsnip: why? [14:50] sisif: sounds like "launch media player" shortcut? [14:50] nunojpg, ok. Good luck. Hopefully your internet straightens out for you and you can get remoted in ok :) [14:50] karmic has retarded sound software, anyone please help me actually record something [14:51] MikeChelen: yes. But that one is disabled ... [14:51] if I want to install ubuntu-desktop on a ubuntu server, what is essentialy the diferente from the desktop to the server edition? [14:51] ZaNeIuM: its a file browser as root, you can do anything and delete and damage any and all files [14:51] the kernel scheduller? [14:51] CoBaI3: http://www.getdeb.net/updates/acetoneiso [14:51] ZaNeIuM: the less you use it, the better [14:52] sisif: do you have compiz enabled? [14:52] ZaNeIuM: what made your samba fast btw?? [14:52] nunojpg: mostly software packages like the desktop environment [14:52] I have been trying to find a way to use our local mirror during my initial install. Is there a way to point the installer at a specific mirror, or do you need to use preseeding and make your own image to install from? [14:52] ActionParsnip: ty) [14:52] karmic has retarded sound software, anyone please help me actually record something in audacity for example [14:53] MikeChelen: No, I don`t. And the thing is .. even if I set launch media player to another shortcut, hitting Win+c will still fire up Exaile. And Exaile is not even my default media player [14:53] you are better off sticking with Desktop VER.....the server VER is for severs , it has a desktop , but unless you are running server really no need [14:53] tobiasz: what is wrong with audacity? === sale_ is now known as sale [14:53] a good font manager for ubuntu? any suggestion?

What could be the reason? Thanks [14:54] jozefk: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [14:54] nunojpg: yeah if you installed server and add the desktop packages that's all you'd change. Just some extra packages. I'm not sure that ubuntu uses different scheduler settings, etc for the server edition, but I would hope so [14:54] Hi everyone, could someone please help me with 2 grub problems? [14:54] maxstirner1: check you are the owner or all your data in home [14:54] sisif: hmm that's weird [14:54] MikeChelen how do I record "what you hear", and how do I for example make people on skype or something like that hear what I play on system other than mic [14:54] font installation?

[14:56] sublimeUK: personally I have no idea, but were you aware of the grub howto?

[15:38] a931bw, send then a screenshot of what you just showed and to get just that window make sure it is focused and then hit alt+printscreen [15:38] how? [15:38] ubottu: accident [15:38] i doing with scrot [15:38] hi.. i have a samsung mobile phone in which internet connection is available.. how to setup mobile internet on ubuntu? [15:38] a931bw, oh I see [15:38] a931bw: take a screenshot with the "printscreen" button [15:38] a931bw, is this gnome you are on? [15:38] aaah [15:39] I need some help with the karmic UNR. I am using it with aspire one AO715h. Poulsbo drivers from PPA. Aperently After a update, the menu of the netbook remix isn`t visible anymore... [15:39] a931bw, if this is gnome click the title bar of crossover to be sure it is selected or focused then on your keyboard press and hold alt and then press the "printscreen" button I dont know what that translates to in russion [15:40] hey guys, my friend owns an inspiron 1720, he had ubuntu 9.04 and just upgraded to 9.10 yesterday; the installation ended saying things may have been partially upgraded. he kept using it the rest of the day, and his wireless worked just fine. today though when he tries to use his wireless; it doesn't work at all - it shows up in 'lshw' but not in network manager; any help is appreciated. [15:40] coz_: In gnome, you don't need to hold a hotkey to take a screenshot, you just press printscr. [15:41] compiz [15:41] AndyGraybeal: did he notice which packages weren't fully installed? [15:41] gch_: is there a question in there? [15:41] no..just mumbling [15:41] sorry [15:41] lfaraone, hitting page up doesn't seem to have an effect. I am using virtualbox with a mac, I wonder if this is part of the problem. I have hooked up an external keyboard though, so I know I have pg up available. [15:42] jevidl: you can just press the keyboard "up" navkey, I just suggested pageup cause it goes up pages at a time. [15:43] is there any support for creative labs ct4740 card [15:43] lfaraone, hmm... up key doesn't seem to do anything either. even using the built in keyboard. I can use right and left to go between options, so I know my VM has focus. I'm a little baffled at the moment. [15:43] hi guys i have samsung S3310 mobile phone.. how to make internet connection work from that in ubuntu jaunty [15:43] jevidl: you're at the country selection menu, right? [15:43] is it possible? [15:44] hello [15:44] lfaraone, "Please select an Ubuntu archive mirror. You should use a mirror in your country or region if you do not know which..." etc. [15:44] ubuntu recognized my sb ct [15:44] lfaraone, that's the dialog you're referring to, correct? [15:44] jevidl: I think so. [15:44] i'm a noob with ubuntu 9.10 sound problems, amongst others [15:44] lfaraone: no; it was towards the end of the install we think; why what are you thinking? [15:44] as in the total lack of any kind of sound [15:45] I need some help with the karmic UNR. I am using it with aspire one AO715h. Poulsbo drivers from PPA. Aperently After a update, the menu of the netbook remix isn`t visible anymore... [15:45] may be just the card it recognized after I put it in but then after reboot hmm no card [15:45] mohan_, yeah its possible.. [15:45] i think the problem might be with the drivers: when i go to SYSTEM>administration>drivers it only sees a graphic driver [15:46] AndyGraybeal: well, try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and tell me if/when you get an error === simon_ is now known as Guest47192 [15:46] those sb cards always been buggy [15:46] i looked into the forums, but i really didn't find an understandable sollution. Is there someone who can give me a step by step hand? [15:46] lot of work to run in windows [15:46] let alone ubuntu [15:46] Can anyone assist with some g15macro issues? (no point in typing the entire problem out, if noone has a g15 keyboard) [15:47] what does this do?try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [15:47] jevidl: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/minimalintrepid11.png [15:47] lfaraone, thanks for your help, I'll keep messing with it. I think I am in the right place and that it should be possible, at least [15:47] jevidl: that's what I meant [15:47] dailystruggle: it configures all unconfigured packages. [15:47] Hello I have a problem with my TVcard could someone help me please [15:47] lfaraone, ah, ok. I was somewhere else. I will look more carefully and run through it again. Thank you! [15:47] as super user [15:48] dailystruggle: configure all still not configured packages. can fix minor problems [15:49] can you do this if you have bzr [15:49] so, anybody can spare some time to lend a hand please?

Thanks for your patient help, I apparently was having a moment of dumb :) [15:49] dailystruggle: I don't think that would have an effect.

Aperently After a update, the menu of the netbook remix isn`t visible anymore... [15:52] tonino: #Ubuntu-IT I do believe?

[16:16] new image in update [16:16] yes [16:16] it was a fresh install [16:16] fograven, so this means you updated from one version to another?

[16:23] Who knows about using a dns? [16:23] coz_: I downloaded it from Nvidia [16:23] Is there any way to return to the previous Ubuntu version? [16:23] is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel?

I really need sound. please help [16:23] fograven, one thing though... it is going to be more complex of an install this way [16:23] I need some help, setting up samba on ubuntu to share a printer to xp [16:23] sjd I don't have sound either [16:23] fograven, first thing open a terminal sudo apt-get install build-essential [16:24] sjd Did you update to 9.10 perhaps? [16:24] coz_: something changed on me from Ibex to Karmic [16:24] is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel? [16:24] how do i enable it? [16:24] /quit [16:24] alberto: no. this was a fresh install [16:24] fograven, yes the kernel version changed and the driver needs to create the kernel module for that kernel [16:24] is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel? [16:24] how do i enable it? [16:24] I already have samba setup to share folders and I am using webmin, I followed a few different guides with no luck [16:24] coz_: I can do it from this one [16:24] alberto: if you dont have, well, but I need. [16:25] fograven, can do what? [16:25] what's the replacement for emerald decorator? [16:25] sjd I do need sound as well [16:25] coz_: fix the new image from the old one [16:25] RenatoSilva, if on gnome gtk-window-decorator [16:25] sjd I'm a musician [16:25] * RenatoSilva just cleared the screen [16:25] fograven, I am not sure I know what you mean by "image" [16:25] * RenatoSilva didn't read the answer [16:25] maco: nice to meet you sorry about the wrong address [16:26] dailystruggle: wrong address? [16:26] iso [16:26] ?? [16:26] fograven, how are you going to fix that? [16:26] maco:yes ma'm [16:26] alberto: oh really. you should be really missing the essence [16:26] fograven, are you going to clean install from the cd or just install the nvidia driver on the install you already have? [16:27] alberto: i heard lost of people have sound problems after doing an upgrade. it will most probably work when doing a fresh install [16:27] hi, how do I set up cups so that I don't need a password to print? [16:27] what's the replacement for emerald decorator? someone sent me a msg but didn't read :( [16:27] anybody? [16:27] is it Jasper? [16:27] Jamed: I did a fresh install. but still no sound [16:27] coz_: I just want the new kernerl to work [16:27] this is weird.. i typed sudo chmod "go=r" * but it still won't make viewable the files inside directories other than the root of my website [16:28] fograven, is the system running well? [16:28] RenatoSilva: RenatoSilva, if on gnome gtk-window-decorator [16:28] pardon me, i typed sudo chmod -R "go=r" * [16:28] but directories seem to be a problem [16:28] RenatoSilva, you can do from alt+F2 gtk-window-decorator --replace [16:28] Jamed You mean formatting and installing the new O.S.? [16:28] Everyone have a wonderful day have to keep the animals [16:28] coz_: yeah other than updating the cards drivers [16:28] alberto: yes [16:28] coz_: sorry, do what? [16:28] fograven, ok hold on [16:28] alberto: it worked for a friend [16:29] coz_: enable it, ok [16:29] is the evdev module in the ubuntu kernel? [16:29] n/m got it [16:29] RenatoSilva, on your keyboard press alt+F2 [16:29] how do i enable it? [16:29] coz_: I don't want to activate it [16:29] Jamed: do you have any other suggestion for me? [16:29] RenatoSilva, oh [16:29] RenatoSilva, ok well..emerald is no longer developed or maintained [16:29] epinky: thanks, but emerald was a replacement for that, right? then it became in turn replaced? [16:29] coz_: ^^ [16:29] sjd: run group in terminal and look for audio. if there is no audio run sudo gpasswd -a username audio [16:29] coz_: ^ [16:29] RenatoSilva, so you have the choice on gnome of gtk-window-decorator or on kde kde4-window-decorator [16:30] coz_: I would normally do a sudo chmod +X NV* [16:30] RenatoSilva: emerald is no longer maintained upstream [16:30] RenatoSilva: and gtk-window-decorator has been improved [16:30] then sudo/etc/init.d/gdm stop [16:30] Jamed: checked that earlier. the group audio is there. current user is a member [16:30] fograven, well you now have a new kernel and there are two ways of installing the driver for that either through hardware drivers or installing it manually [16:31] sjd: then i dont know how you can get sound [16:31] fograven, both are fine but I generally install manually for testing beta drivers [16:31] fograven: In 9.10 gdm is no longer a service but an upstart item. [16:31] is there any other way beside doing sudo chmod -R "go=rx" * ? [16:31] sjd: possibly you have a broken driver [16:31] maco, coz_, epinky: by "what's the replacement for emerald decorator" I mean one that allows similar appearace, with similar themes available, or even compatible with emerald themes, for example True Vista [16:31] maco: but I can get sound throught the jack [16:31] fograven, the gdm theme can be changed but it takes a bit of jumping through hoops [16:32] BlueEagl1: what does that mean [16:32] I found only one Font Manager for Ubunu [16:32] It's is Fontmatrix [16:32] can anyone please take a look at this post for me? http://old.nabble.com/Fixed-it-at-last-SL-6399-td19679889.html and try to explain? [16:32] RenatoSilva, there are no replacements at this time... we talked about creating a new decorator but it was discussed only once and nothing has been done yet [16:32] maco: so does gtk-window-decorator have that, a theme similar to True Vista or that compatibility? [16:32] fograven: It means that `/etc/init.d/gdm stop` is deprecated for `service gdm stop` [16:32] RenatoSilva, so the ONLY replacements are gtk-window-decorator or kde4-window-decorator [16:33] coz_: so if I want to keep my Vista look, I must keep using Emerald. Ah. [16:33] RenatoSilva: there is no replacement that uses Emerald themes. Emerald is simply dead upstream (with a "someday we might get around to writing a replacement") [16:33] but I have sound in the jack. my god what is wrong. I have been sitting around more than 48 hours to solve this issue. [16:33] RenatoSilva, for the time being yes.... until the developers decide on how or what kind of new decorator will be created [16:33] BlueEagl1: so if i type that in [16:33] maco: and similar themes? [16:34] RenatoSilva: whatever htemes you find for metacity on gnome-look. thats it. [16:34] fograven: Then GDM should stop. Read more about upstart by googling it. :) [16:34] BlueEagl1: I can install it that way? [16:34] coz_: do I have emerald here just because of upgrating continuously, or is it in Karmic repo yet? [16:34] RenatoSilva: if you want emerald themes, you have to use emerald, but if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces [16:34] fograven, service gdm restart cd to the location of the nvidia sh run pacakge run that then sudo init 6 to reboot === dexter_ is now known as dexter [16:34] fograven: I'm not sure what the problem is. I just saw the reference to init.d/gdm. I apologize for any inconvenience. [16:34] RenatoSilva, it is still in karmic [16:35] how to get a screenshot of login screen? [16:35] please I need help. please === [m1cR0bZ] is now known as [Awaxx] [16:35] RenatoSilva: ...because people whined every time it was removed [16:35] can someone take me through a how to ? [16:35] fograven, if you want to install the downloaded nvidia driver you need to be sure you have build-essential installed first [16:35] its all good i love Ubuntu and learning...... things just changed a lot on me === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [16:36] renatosilva: You could attempt to run the command from a text terminal and setting the display environment variable but i doubt it would help. Best suggestion I have tho. [16:36] maco: get to keep both pieces? [16:36] fograven, then hit ctrl+alt+F1 .... log in.... service gdm stop.... then cd to the locatioin of the nvidia sh run file.... sudo NVIDIA ..hit tab to complet the package name.... hit enter... say yes to every question... then when that is done type sudo init 6 to reboot [16:37] please [16:37] iae [16:37] RenatoSilva: its a saying "if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces" ...as in, if it breaks too bad, nobody's working on fixing the bugs [16:37] somebody help out [16:37] sjd, what is the issue again? i didnt see your post [16:37] sjd: file a bug [16:37] coz_: no sound in my karmic installed dell studio 14 [16:38] sjd, did you check in alsamixer? open terminal type alsamixer and be sure the PCM slider is active and volume is up and also check if it is recogniized there [16:38] BlueEagl1: ok will try that. I guess the app is gnome-screenshot* [16:38] coz_: yes. it is maximum === BlueEagl1 is now known as BlueEagle [16:38] Hi [16:39] D [02/Dec/2009:16:18:57 +0000] [Job 46] Set job-printer-state-message to "Unable to write print data: Input/output error", current level=ERROR [16:39] sjd, ok under system / preferences/ sound [16:39] my print jobs all fail after 1 page. any ideas? [16:39] sjd, check if it is seeing the card under the Hardware tab [16:39] maco: ah ok, I have been using Karmic since release, and I haven't had any problem. Actually it has fixed the ugly look of ubuntu [16:39] * RenatoSilva sanitized Ubuntu Karmic from brown look [16:40] renatosilva: That is just plain flamebait and it is best served in #ubuntu-offtopic if you are to serve it at all. [16:40] how do I get Audacity to work in Karmic? [16:40] spa ? [16:40] coz_: yeah it is. i can see the volume analyser running when i play sound. even there is sound in the jacks. [16:40] spa: Don't do that please. [16:40] sjd, are you using external speakers? [16:40] SORRY [16:40] coz_: NOPE [16:41] sjd, this is a laptop or desktop? [16:41] coz_: dell laptop studio 14 [16:41] tobiasz: sudo aptitude install audacity && audacity [16:41] so you need to use dev/input, you need the linux-input-layer.conf, and you need the evdev module loaded [16:41] can anyone explain me what it means? [16:41] tobiasz: Doesn't that do it? [16:41] sjd, sorry you did mention that.... are you sure the speakers work? [16:41] "use dev/input"??? === mab is now known as Guest75588 [16:41] can anyone help me with this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915 [16:41] maco: whatever themes you find for metacity on gnome-look? do you mean themes for the decorator specifically? [16:41] coz_: yeah. I have vista other side. its working. [16:42] textix: Did you try google? [16:42] RenatoSilva: gtk-window-decorator is compatible with the themes for the metacity window manager [16:42] coz_: but i really hate that. i need it on my Karmic [16:42] BlueEagle you don't use Audacity in 9.10 I see, because it doesn't work, my sound card is SB Live! [16:42] tobiasz: In what way does it not work? [16:42] blueEagle; yeah i tried it [16:42] doesn't record at all [16:42] sjd, ok mmm.... I am trying to think ..off the top of my head... what the issue is but nothing is coming to mind...you may want to go to the #alsa channel to ask or even ##linux ... for some reason my brain is locked up :) [16:43] Help please, how do I watch mmsh://38.117.88.148/Channel1Link?MSWMExt=.asf ? VLC and MP dont work :( [16:43] textix: What do you want to use /dev/input for? [16:43] BlueEagle it doesn't record at all, just records silence [16:43] tobiasz: Does other applications record sound? [16:43] It’s that Speedlink SL-6399 I’ve been on about for nearly 3 weeks now. Ok for anyone that’s got one or thinking of getting one here what I’ve found out. First it thinks it’s a keyboard so you need to use dev/input, you need the linux-input-layer.conf, and you need the evdev module loaded. Then you need to type cat /proc/bus/input/devices to work out where it is. [16:43] coz_: everyones brain seems to be locked up when I fire this question ;) [16:43] tobiasz: I am guessing that the problem is not with audacity but the way your sound is set up. [16:43] Blue: its a remote thats really hard to get working [16:43] but i found a guide [16:43] maco: sorry maybe I'm missing some concept. The decorator manages the window title and border, metacity is a window manager that cares about the window content and usage. Or something similar to this. [16:44] tobiasz, youre using ubuntu studio? [16:44] sjd: sounds like a broken sound driver. file a bug. [16:44] maco: I guess "metacity themes" include a decorator theme [16:44] BlueEagle 9.10 Ubuntu Karmic regular, [16:44] maco: but I guess I could individually download decorator themes [16:44] RenatoSilva: right, because metacity isnt as modular as compiz. [16:44] sjd, lol to be honest I probably wont be able to help since I compile my own alsa driver for my card ... I do know that the people in #alsa should be able to solve tis easily it will depend on who is online in that channel however [16:44] /part [16:44] RenatoSilva: metacity has only its one decorator. compiz is the only wm i know that has pluggable decorators [16:45] tobiasz: Sound in linux is not quite like sound in windows. First you have two different sound systems in the kernel. The old and obsolete OSS and the new and better ALSA. I am not sure which sound server Ubuntu runs by default (if any) but what I would try first is alsamixer [16:45] BlueEagle: OSS is no longer in the kernel [16:45] Help please, how do I watch mmsh://38.117.88.148/Channel1Link?MSWMExt=.asf ? VLC and MP dont work :( [16:45] maco: hmm, including gtk-window-decorator? [16:46] tobiasz: `man alsamixer` for instruction on usage. You want the record page and check that your mic is not muted (which it usually is iirc) [16:46] BlueEagle: and pulseaudio is the default sound server in ubuntu. kubuntu & xubuntu dont have a sound server [16:46] BlueEagle it does record in the default sound registrator [16:46] WizardOfOz_, I tried that link here... totem tried to open it but failed let me try with another player hold on [16:46] maco: Thanks for the guidance. [16:46] ok coz_ Thanks [16:46] RenatoSilva: yes, compiz can use g-w-d, and g-w-d can use themes that are meant for metacity's in-built decorator [16:46] BlueEagle after I've setup pavucontrol to record "monitor of SB Live!" [16:46] maco: ok but back to the point, I guess I could download a theme for the decorator only... [16:46] can anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915? [16:47] BlueEagle why can't I set it up via regular system tray manager [16:47] coz_: none is responding [16:47] blueeage, is there any way to "use" that dir? [16:47] !tab > textix [16:47] textix, please see my private message [16:47] RenatoSilva: if you get a metacity theme, thats what it is. there's nothing else *to* theme, its just that since metacity doesnt have multiple decorators, theres no need to give a more specific name to the themes than "metacity" [16:47] tobiasz, what is the output of "cat /proc/asound/modules" [16:47] sjd, I dont know in which part of the world most of the people there are from... but stick to it ...they will eventually answer and also go to ##linux channel as well [16:47] whats new/ [16:48] BlueEagle I mean switching mic/what you hear [16:48] sjd: i've been telling you: file a bug [16:48] WizardOfOz_, gmplayer cannot resolve the link [16:48] textix: Well you would typically identify the device within that directory that corresponds to your remote reciever. Then you would specify that device in (I am guessing) the config file you listed earlier. [16:48] coz_: tired. [16:48] sjd: "ubuntu-bug linux" [16:48] BlueEagle this is currently the biggest flaw in Ubuntu and needs to be fixed [16:48] WizardOfOz_, and I dont use vlc [16:48] maco: yeah Im doing [16:48] sjd, understood [16:48] sjd, but if you are going to leave irc ,,, rememb [16:48] !bugs | tobiasz [16:48] tobiasz: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [16:48] sjd, remember those two channels [16:49] coz_: gmplayer :( [16:49] It worked with VLC last night [16:49] coz_: seriously. i have been in front for the last 48 hrs [16:49] coz_: yeah will do. [16:49] BlueEagle, is there any to use that directory? [16:49] maco: a metacity theme includes info about the border+title and the rest, I mean get a theme only for the first part, then go to some metacity theme in gnome-appearance-properties, then change the title look in one of its options [16:49] Wiz3000, ok open a terminal vlc and then that address...see if it can open it that way [16:49] coz_: thanks for the tip coz_ [16:49] sjd, oh dude....get some rest come back tomorrow [16:49] sjd, what is your problem? Please repost every now and then, a brief description of the problem, all in one line so that everyone can follow, if someone knows the answer they will surely reply [16:49] tobiasz: Well if you are able to record in other applications I would assume it is a setting in audacity. Make sure that it points to the correct sound source. [16:50] textix: I already answered that. [16:50] sjd, this issue is not as important as your health so go rest :) [16:50] RenatoSilva: oooh hmm dunno about doing that [16:50] mMezquitale: I have a dell studio 14 laptop. Karmic is up. Alsa 1.0.21. pulseaudio. everything. drivers seems to be fine. still no sound. i have sound in the jack too. [16:50] maco: ok [16:50] an anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343915? [16:51] sjd, what is the output of /proc/asound/modules/ [16:51] coz_: but seriously. I need sound. Its something like a challenge which I made to my friends as they would choose free software. [16:51] sjd: Let me see if I understand this correctly: You have sound in the headphone jack, but not in the internal speakers? [16:51] BlueEagle: EXACTLY [16:51] BlueEagle the command you mentioned returns: 0 snd_emu10k1 [16:51] sjd, understood.... [16:52] anyone know where i'd find a quick guide to joining a windows domain??? [16:52] mMezquitale: there is no /proc/asound/modules/ [16:52] sjd, see if there is a setting for on/off of the laptop speakers [16:52] BlueEagle you mean by using the cat command? [16:52] epinky, coz_, maco: thanks for help! [16:52] it shows up all the devices running, right+ [16:52] sjd: Have you unplugged the device in the headphone jack? [16:52] RenatoSilva, ok guy [16:52] mMezquitale: but there are other folders like card0 card1 intel hdmi etc [16:53] BlueEagle: yeah [16:53] in sound properties there should be monitor of [sound card] in INPUT tab [16:53] why isn't it there [16:53] sjd: (I haven't followed your conversatoin so I am sorry for any dupes) [16:53] BlueEagle [16:53] sjd: can you download and run http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh (note thats a bash script not a sh script) [16:53] textix: That is one way to do it. Start with one device that appears likely and cat it then press buttons on your remote. [16:53] BlueEagle: it is okay. I have been typing it since a long time. its always at my fingertips! [16:54] sjd, what is the output of sudo aplay -l [16:54] coz_: how about [16:54] sjd use paste bin [16:54] textix: If none of the devices in /dev/input provice results (will appear as garbled characters) then the device is not recognized by the kernel (missing module?) [16:54] mMezquitale: okay. [16:55] anyone now how to connect the neo freerunner to ubuntu? it doesnt show up [16:55] tobiasz: I think that is an optional channel. [16:55] tobiasz: Not sure about that one tho. [16:55] hi 2 all [16:55] hello [16:55] tobiasz: If you use alsamixer (did it just return one line and no control panel?) then you should find it.

I haven't been able to find a fix for this model card when searching google. [16:58] maco: trying.. [16:58] textix: Do you have a kernel module that should help you use the remote? [16:58] sjd, ubuntu recognises your hardware, that is good, lets find out if you have the software installed that's needed to use your audio card, again use paste bin to tell me the output of this: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd [16:59] docmax: navigate to about:config in firefox and search for browser.backspace_action , set that to 1 to enable using backspace to go back one page. [16:59] can someone point me in the right direction, or is it a work in progress bug with the free drivers for atheros? [16:59] what application i can use to make a software fluxogram?

[17:03] Howdy all, got a server with consistently high load averages. Top is usually very idle, cpu wait is near 27%. iostat shows the same CPU wait time. SUggestions on finding the bottleneck? [17:03] sjd: Do you have a hardware volume control for the jack? [17:03] draconas: please don't advertise your illegal actions, not all linux users are pirates and hackers [17:03] BlueEagle: no [17:03] aeon-ltd: Huh? [17:03] sjd, what is the make and model again? let me google the specs [17:04] sjd: Is the volume in the jack affected by adjustments made to the software volume control? [17:04] Hi channel.. Anyone familiar with pftp-shit? [17:04] sjd, your hardware is recognized, the software modules are installed, it could be a simple setting in hardware, as in turn the volume up, simple setting in karmic, or a little bit of configuration that you need to do to make your sound card work, first run "alsamixer" and turn the volume up, then go to "sound" applet in preferences and make sure you have the correct soundcard in "output" tab [17:04] sjd: bash, not sh [17:05] aeon-ltd: excuse me, i needed the xp to replace vista since my $400 laptop was getting ate up BY vista, im pretty sure you'd do the same if you had to [17:05] hi all [17:05] maco: oh [17:05] sjd: when it completes, itll give you a url to share here [17:05] why is gnome-osd-properties not shipped with karmic? it's using gnome-osd for the annoying notification position right? [17:05] mMezquitale: but I tried! volumes are up. I have the device selected. [17:05] dare: Which notifications? The one in the top right just a bit out from the corner? [17:06] draconas: anyways you can remove the ubuntu partition, but (from memory (2 years ago)) grub doesn't die with it [17:06] does any here know how to install ppa-purge ? [17:06] sjd, is it a laptop or a desktop? is the sound card built in? are you trying to hear sound from a computer speaker or headphones? [17:06] BlueEagle: the ones that appear to tell me my laptop battery capacity is low, or I connceted to a wifi network [17:06] sjd, what is make and model again so I can google the specs? [17:07] aeon-ltd: your sure it wont kill windows if i delete the ubuntu partitions? [17:07] mMezquitale: laptop. built in sound card [17:07] someone explain this to me... I have a screen session on a single machine... I run nc -l 3306 and then on the other screen I do telnet localhost 3306 but it fails.... [17:07] coz_: dell studio 14. 1440 [17:07] dare: Good question. I havent thought about that. First one needs to identify the application actually showing those notifications and then find a configuration file for that application. In there it would most likely be possible to alter the position (and timeout) [17:07] sjd, are you trying to hear sound from the headphones or the computer speaker? [17:07] BlueEagle: it's annoying right after logging in to see notification messages spammed across the center of my screen [17:07] mMezquitale: not really. i want sound in the normal speaker [17:08] draconas: unlikely, but like i said if grub dies and you have no mbr its unbootable, if grub doesn't die, grub is useless except for booting windows [17:08] mMezquitale: im getting mad [17:08] :( [17:08] sjd, you gonna turn into the hulk? :D [17:09] sdwrage: lol ! I dont know what to do! you know we believe long live FS :D [17:09] sjd, i've had problems like that before, i've been using sound ever since you could hear sound on both headphones and speaker at the same time, didnt know the speakers were on and I had my headphones on [17:09] dare: I am thinking that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD may yeld useful clues [17:10] sjd, what does aplay -l say? [17:10] BlueEagle: ty [17:10] mMezquitale: uh oh [17:10] hola [17:10] q tal [17:10] boomernang, hardware is recognized, modules are already installed, he's stlil not getting any sound [17:10] dare: It may be the wrong tree alltogether tho. [17:10] sjd, what version of ubuntu are you running? [17:11] hi, in kde i have a taskbar in the kicker... right klick on icon give me options of the programms... in xfce this seems not to work anymore... any idea? [17:11] boomernang: http://pastebin.ca/1698634 [17:11] dare: Acually, that appears to be very much the right tree. [17:11] boomernang: karmic [17:11] BlueEagle: looks like there's no getting rid of it now :P [17:11] mMezquitale: hmm. But. What do you suggest next? [17:11] sjd, what is the output of lspci -v |grep Audio [17:12] man aplay [17:12] woops [17:12] try play a sound through the terminal sjd [17:12] sjd, we need to figure out what is broken, it's probably a config setting somewhere but first we must determine what your machine can see [17:13] dare: Well the alternative would be to send all notifications to /dev/null and I don't think you want that. [17:13] mMezquitale: okay. [17:13] mMezquitale: http://pastebin.ca/1698663 [17:13] boomernang: how to? [17:14] hi, please help me. My karmic machine has two NICs, eth0 and eth2. External pings that enter through eth0 are responded. External pings that enter through eth2 are not responded. The firewall is open to all traffic. [17:14] sjd, grab an ogg from somewhere.. or wav... and type aplay nameoffile.ogg [17:14] BlueEagle: indeed, i'll just put up with this nuisance and hope gnome doesn't get any more in my face [17:15] sjd, or this.. aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav [17:15] do you hear anything? [17:15] harovali1: posts results of "sudo ifconfig -a" , use pastebin [17:15] how does avahi play ? [17:15] dare: See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/438536 [17:15] boomernang: tried. no sound [17:15] hello! is there a way to test 5.1 sound of pulseaudio? something like "speaker-test" does via alsa? i mean something that directly addresses pulseaudio... [17:16] BlueEagle: yes, that does seem the solution.. but from that overview you sent it's designed to be closer to vertical center :-\ [17:16] mMezquitale: ? [17:17] harovali1: use NetworkManager to turn avahi on [17:17] sjd, my apologies, im kinda slow today, what is the output of "/proc/asound/modules/"??? you should see one line [17:17] sjd, go to System -> Preferences -> Main Menu.. then on the left scroll down to System/Preferences.. then make sure 'Multimedia Systems Selector' is ticked.. click close.. then go back to System -> Prefernces.. and click on it.. [17:18] click the test button... if no sound.. click on alsa for the drop down menu.. then click test [17:18] hello guys [17:18] mMezquitale: that folder does not exist [17:18] sjd, you need to install alsa base LoL go to synaptic and search for alsa-base [17:19] can curl handle ajax? [17:19] sjd, I think mMezquitale means: cat /proc/asound/modules [17:19] ibuclaw: the same [17:19] dare: That was for lucid (10.04). Only five and a half month till you get it in the bottom-right corner. [17:19] sjd, my apologies i meant to cat "cat /proc/asound/modules" [17:19] git__: I think you want #php for that one. [17:19] mMezquitale: alsa-base is installed [17:20] BlueEagle: curl isn't a PHP thing, is it? [17:20] mMezquitale: 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_hda_intel [17:20] git__: AJAX is done using JavaScript - so no. curl only does basic HTTP requests, doesn't care about the page contents _at all_. [17:20] sjd, did you do what I said? [17:20] grawity: Maybe it is not. It may be my bad, but PHP does curl atleast. :) [17:21] BlueEagle: PHP has a curl library - but there's also a command-line program, and libs for other languages. [17:21] git__: You would most likely want to ask that in the irc channel of your favorite scripting language. [17:21] Checking in... [17:21] hi [17:21] grawity: That better? ;) [17:21] anyone try convert pdf2doc? [17:21] ok...checking out [17:22] git__: Also #curl is a channel on this IRC network. You may want to try there. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [17:22] I am looking for software [17:22] S0me1, that is very generic ... anything specific? [17:22] s0me1: Any software in particular you are looking for? [17:22] boomernang: im doing. [17:23] just I wanna convert pdf2doc, but 4 sure free :) === Symlink is now known as mr_engineer [17:24] boomernang: i ticked the multimedia selector. selected alsa. for the output. clicked test button with the "defau device. testing is running. no sound [17:24] s0me1: Is that a pdf containig text or just images of text? [17:24] both [17:24] sjd, I dont believe the sound card is supported by ALSA, sorry, that is one of the reasons I didnt buy a dell studio laptop, your sound card is this Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [17:24] mMezquitale: oh my goodness. so what am I to do now? [17:24] s0me1: So you would not need to run OCR on the image before converting it? [17:25] sjd, you can look up Intel sound cards that are supported here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Intel [17:25] sjd, what happens if you click pulseaudio? [17:25] boomernang: testing runs. no sound [17:26] romanista [17:26] How can I convert an .ogv to .avi? [17:26] Hi [17:26] sjd, another option is to log in to the channel at other times and ask specifically for someone that has your sound hardware, mention you have a dell studio 14 with the Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) sound card or you can go to the forums and search for the sound card, hopefully someone figured out how to make it work or someone wrote drivers for it [17:27] where can i download linux fedora 10? [17:27] romanista, this channnel is for ubuntu support [17:27] ok [17:27] mMezquitale: i dont find ICH9 there [17:27] My samba stopped working it was working just fine for about a week I went away on holidays and now my server decided to poop with no explination or intervention Halp..

This affects the look of my new Windows 7 theme [17:28] BlueEagle: I am just try find out any script or software convert pdf forms to doc [17:28] romanista: #fedora would be a good place to start. [17:28] romanista: On fedoraproject.org. But this is a ubuntu channel [17:29] sjd, you want to search by the type of chip that you have, you can find it using this: "lspci -v | grep Audio" [17:29] Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me a bit with an issue I'm having. [17:29] mMezquitale, doesnt the dell studio 15 have the same soundcard? [17:29] does anyone know chemicalsoft: chemsketch or isis draw could be installed on ubuntu? [17:29] i know that works [17:29] !ask | TrevorRose2010 [17:29] TrevorRose2010: 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. :-) [17:30] boomernang, dont know, i dont have a dell studio 15 [17:30] aaron11, Id think its just how the tray icon was made its probably not been created with a transparent background. [17:30] BlueEagle: the comments for that bug are very interesting especially the developer quote about reducing customizability.. ubuntu will not keep users for long if it cannot grow/change as they do [17:30] Alright, so, my audio driver is a realtek audio driver, I downloaded the ubuntu version yesterday, but I'm a complete newb with this stuff and have no idea how to install. The instructions make no since and I was wondering if someone could help me get it installed. [17:31] sjd, your next step is to file a bug report , go to launchpad.net, create an account and file a bug report, hopefully someone will write drivers for it eventually [17:31] Arkturus: Do you know where the tray Icon is placed in the file systems? I think I can gimp it up a little :-) [17:31] mMezquitale: oh okay. so no sound until that.?! lol. I lost the challenge :( [17:32] TrevorRose2010: Please show me the instructions [17:32] s0me1: Well, the closest I can bring you is to convert to djvu and that doesn't get you closed to your goal. What you would most likely need to do is a copy/paste job as far as I can tell. [17:33] any idea why cron would not email output? [17:33] sjd, it looks like some people have it up and running thouh although on other machines, search for your chip intel 82801I [17:33] TrevorRose2010: Oh! Wait I have to go. Bie! [17:33] aaron11, My ubuntu-jitsu is getting a little rusty as i've switched my desktops back to doze since seven. but im sure you could find out all the installed files via apt for the pidgn package and grep it to filter different graphics formants [17:33] My samba stopped working it was working just fine for about a week I went away on holidays and now my server decided to poop with no explination or intervention Halp..

[17:47] i have installed ubuntu in my laptop [17:47] minerva, they are really lightweight notebooks that are conciddered sub notebooks due to their specs as they are designed for ultraportability and not to be a portable desktop replacement.

(sory for english) [17:49] what kinda card u got? [17:49] how to find driver ? [17:49] boomernang: ? [17:50] how to find the card name ? [17:50] Arkturus, because this is #ubuntu support?!? [17:50] Ok, I've googled for this already and nothing helps: How do I permanently, totally, and completely disable the ability for Ubuntu to start this @&^$%@ BulletProofX thing? This is keeping a machine from fully booting! [17:50] need to know type of card first [17:50] HI is there someone who can help me figure out how to use a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse on ubuntu 10.4 [17:50] Alrighty. You would need to figure out what kind of chipset your wireless card uses and attempt to download the drivers and install them, or, you could bridge a connection via wired with a cross over cable and just update. Usually updating finds the drivers you need and you can use the Third-Party Driver tool built in to Ubuntu to graphically enable the card with relative low pain [17:50] how can i get the card name ? [17:50] hi [17:50] mMezquitale, well its samba in ubuntu.. I guess i could try #samba or #smb [17:50] lspci -v | less [17:50] Aruna: lspci [17:51] ook wait... [17:51] Arkturus, you probably will have better luck there since it looks like no one logged in right now uses samba [17:51] Arkturus, what's the problem? [17:51] sld, im trying to find something. [17:51] mMezquitale, I will give it a go i just figured it was probably an issue on the ubuntu side. [17:51] Arkturus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [17:52] boomernang: okay waiting. [17:52] dAlfa89_, well i set up ubuntu a while ago using the link ibuclaw just linked but when i went away on holidays it totally stopped working. [17:52] lspci displays so many data ! [17:52] you can pipe it into grep [17:52] dAlfa89_, with no real explination.. :S It was working seemelessly before. [17:52] lspci -v | grep [17:52] like lspci -v | less ethernet [17:53] oooops [17:53] like lspci -v | grep ethernet [17:53] Arkturus, stopped working how? [17:53] Aruna, I disagree - it doesn't show enough. ;) [17:53] ibuclaw, I'm staring at that guide wondering what could be wrong with my configuration but it looks like i did everything right :S... I have the worst luck with samba. [17:53] or less specific, like lspci -v | grep driver [17:53] ok [17:53] dAlfa89_, well its not showing up in any computers on my network [17:53] Arkturus, can you ssh into the server? [17:54] so many drivers [17:54] ibuclaw, yep I've got an ssh open atm [17:54] hang on [17:54] Arkturus, can you confirm samba is running? [17:54] b43 pci bridge ? [17:54] lemme plug in my wifi card and see what mine says [17:55] ibuclaw, running top... [17:55] oh! [17:55] broadcom [17:55] is it that one ? [17:55] Arkturus, sudo service samba status [17:55] well, that could be ethernet [17:55] usually does the trick ...

[18:00] arturis, is your card pci or usb? [18:01] sorry Aruna, is your card pci or usb? [18:01] jiggahuu: no idea :( [18:01] jiggahuu: i see its pci [18:01] ibuclaw, I just run a pfsense box with snort at my entrypoint to the internet so as this is a lan issue I dont believe thats causing an issue :S.

[18:10] havocspartan, those are your interface names [18:10] Jah [18:10] Aruna, you probably dont need to do that [18:11] seriously [18:11] jiggahuu: It would be the easiest way to get the drivers installed. [18:11] jiggahuu,N3OInc, if i do update all.. will i get the driver also ? [18:11] B43 drivers are so old, there isnt anything new in 9.10 that wasnt there since 8.10 [18:11] jiggahuu, correct my wireless name is eth1.

[18:41] hi, why does ubuntu keep adding my other computer on my home network as a DNS server? [18:41] thanks ubuttu [18:41] it's not, and having it in there slows down my network considerablt [18:42] nothingHappens: are you using DHCP? [18:42] when i remove it though, it keeps coming back [18:42] egertonxx: it's ubottu, not ubuttu. [18:42] nothingHappens: Maybe because that "other computer" has a DHCP server running? [18:42] i am probably using dhcp, yes [18:42] hi [18:42] why would that computer have a dhcp server running? [18:42] nothingHappens: where's the DHCP server? [18:42] does anyone know how to change the theme used on the login screen in karmic? [18:42] my real dhcp servers, or my other computer? incidentallyu, also ubuntu [18:42] can anyone help me configure ubuntu sound? === root is now known as Guest78176 [18:43] and the splash screen as well. at the moment, it's just a white ubuntu logo.

[18:43] i have 2 other dhcp servers [18:43] or dns [18:43] rather [18:43] nothingHappens: are you behind a router? [18:43] nothingHappens: sudo netstat -lpun, check for any programs listening on ports 67 or 68. [18:44] dragon, yes [18:44] nothingHappens: check your router's config. that's where DNS servers are specified. [18:44] yo [18:45] mun: it can't be themed like the old one, I think all you can change is the icons and background some how [18:46] mun: themeing features will come later apparantly. use KDM if you want a nice looking theme, the KDE one which is in the repo, oryou can try slim which is not in the repo, and meant to be pretty good, I haven't tried just yet though. [18:46] sebsebseb, but should the logo at bootup pulsate? mine's a white logo. [18:46] apt-proxy or apt-cacher? [18:46] openvpn, dhclient, avahi-daemon, and nmbd show up on that netstat -lpun [18:47] mun: what was the question? and yes your meant to get a white Ubuntu logo in the centre of the screen on boot up [18:47] sebsebseb, yeah, mine's just a white logo. is this the default? [18:47] mun, yes it pulsates. [18:47] hm the router config had it in there for some reason [18:48] dragon, right. do you know how i can make it pulsate? [18:48] mun: you could get a second bit with GDM the default log in. that says Ubuntu in this like sand/dust theme [18:48] craziness [18:48] mun: when I did KDM though, I would no longer get that [18:48] mun, are you running karmic? [18:48] what does pulsates mean? [18:48] dragon, yeah [18:49] sebsebseb, as in whether, it animates. [18:49] sebsebseb: glowing logo, with brightness increasing and then decreasing periodically. [18:49] mun, most probably your graphics card doesn't support the pulsation effect. [18:49] dragon: mun ok thanks [18:49] mun: yes it's meant to like Flash or whatever, and see my pm :) [18:49] dragon, hmm mine's a gf4. it worked in jaunty. [18:50] mun, maybe just pretend that it's pulsating. [18:50] i think the upgrade screwed up my flash as well [18:50] that's what i'd have done if i were you. [18:50] because i can't rewind or fast forward in youtube === KronicKoH is now known as RussellAlan [18:51] mun, that's unrelated to the pulsating effect at startup. [18:51] i think i know what happened. the remains of an aborted attempt to get smb going on my home network [18:52] dragon, right. it used to in jaunty and i think my video card is powerful enough for that. [18:52] thanks guys [18:52] also, somehow i can't get twinview to work if i use nvidia 185, but only on 173. [18:52] i've also tried 190, but no luck.

[18:54] yeah [18:55] mun: and yes 9.10 is buggy here and there, and certain things that worked fine in Jaunty don't in Karmic, and you can check out the release notes for the common issues [18:55] !notes | mun [18:55] mun: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [18:56] arggh ... since I upgraded to 9.10 many of the buttons in eclipse no longer do anything at all .. [18:56] Asad-away: thats pretty normal [18:56] i wish i could revert back to juanty [18:56] it's a pain [18:57] mun: having a seperate /home makes clean installing or even distro hopping easier [18:57] how is it normal MFox .. you mean to say it's a known bug ?

[18:57] sebsebseb, no. [18:57] a lot of haskell libraries [18:58] mun: not sure what you mean by that [18:58] sebsebseb, just third party libraries. [18:58] Hi, I set up a NAT using fwbuilder, set up dhcp and everything seems to be working fine for nat clients. However, it seems I can't access internet on the server. What firewall rule may be interfering on this? I'm using iptables as my firewall [18:58] mun: also be careful where you get things, that aren't from the repo, since bad sources do/can exist [18:58] somehow karmic feels slower too [18:58] sebsebseb: haskell is a functional programming language [18:59] trism: I thought proggramming or whatever I think [18:59] mun: maybe since your on Ext3? [18:59] mun: however I tested with Ext3 and Ext4 and it didn't seem to make much of a difference boot boot up, and shut down [18:59] sebsebseb, i'm on ext2 actually [18:59] mun: Why and that could be it [19:00] sebsebseb, i've been upgrading since intrepid [19:00] mun: you should have done Ext3 for Intrepid really :) [19:00] sebsebseb, from hardy actually. === root is now known as Guest52706 [19:00] did they have ext3 in hardy? [19:00] mun: well with hardy then, or gone with something like XFS, but Ext2 hmm [19:00] mun: yes [19:00] Ext3 has been the default for all Ubuntu's [19:00] untill 9.10 [19:01] 9.10 get's Ext4 by default instead [19:01] sebsebseb, sorry, it is ext3.

[19:03] azlon, god question [19:03] mun: get your ISO from the torrent and it's probably fine, get it from HTTP/FTP, and good idea to md5sum/sha1sum or both even, check it :) [19:03] !md5sum > mun [19:03] VirusTB, nm, i got it... /var/log/messages [19:03] mun, please see my private message [19:03] drope-br: we can't know if you don't post your rules :) , if you can post'em then use pastebin [19:04] how can I activate the visual effects from ubuntu 9.10 @ vmware 7?

[19:36] cognitiaclaeves: 'man smb.conf' lists a server option "unix extensions" (enabled by default). [19:36] cognitiaclaeves: However, if the server is Windows...

[19:42] hmm, ok, i'll do that [19:42] winmisser: i doubt you'd like irssi much [19:42] ojii: I learned to like it, maybe winmisser would [19:43] Eh. [19:43] i'll give it a try [19:43] Try all of them, then choose which you like most. [19:43] i use xchat--what is irssi and what is kvirc [19:43] I created a new user. I get the error "No protocol specified. firefox: cannot connect X server :0.0" as being the new user. What does it mean? [19:43] I actually thought the freenode webchat client was pretty nice [19:43] preecher: irssi and KVirc are IRC clients, just like Xchat is. [19:43] irssi is awesome command line irc client [19:43] grawity, o ok [19:43] seidos: It's qwebirc, by Quakenet [19:44] only complaint was that it didn't use my firefox color scheme [19:44] grawity: irssi is not like xchat :-) [19:44] why does ubuntu ignore the home dir I set for a user??

[19:45] iceberg: http://pastebin.com/m78ab6187 [19:45] iceroot: http://pastebin.com/m78ab6187 [19:45] darrend: clean install or upgrade? if upgrade - try a clean install. [19:45] HI ALL [19:45] (sry tab completion failed) [19:45] holy: what password?

Kismet-May-05-2008-2.network [19:45] Dr_Willis: ^^ [19:46] I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ETHERNET [19:46] iceroot: that's the passwd line, the proof that the dir exists, the login attempt and $HOME [19:46] pepee: You need to make the directory "executable" (+x) [19:46] alaqsory: and your caps lock also it seems... [19:46] #joint/cpln [19:46] and I explanned the problem in three pics [19:46] http://img163.imageshack.us/g/screenshot1zg.png/ [19:46] Dr_Willis: sorry [19:47] how to find out the owner of a particular process? [19:47] I mean who has initiated that process? [19:47] wrapster: ps aux | grep processname [19:47] alaqsory: explain it with a few words *here* please - all in one line [19:47] wrapster: or top [19:47] What is the default root password in Ubuntu? My admin password does not work for "su -c xterm". [19:47] What do I open a .deb file with? Double clicking it just asks me to select a program and it opens a nautilus window. [19:47] ojii: i will have a look [19:47] soopos: nothing [19:47] iceroot: thanks [19:47] guntbert: Password of the superuser [19:47] !root | soopos [19:47] soopos: 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 [19:47] Bookman: gdebi is the GUI app (dpkg is for command line) [19:47] holy: see ^^ [19:47] guntbert: in Ubuntu 8.04 / 9.10 [19:48] ojii: do you thing the passwd line is correct? i dont think so [19:48] !sudo | holy [19:48] holy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:48] guntbert: no, I has forgot the password for the /sudo /... [19:48] iceroot: adduser or useradd did that, not me [19:49] grawity: wonderful, thank you. [19:49] holy: "sudo" asks for your own password. [19:49] holy: sudo password is YOUR password [19:49] holy: that is your own password [19:49] holy: the primary user is the 'admin' user - with full sudo rights. thats not the same as the 'root' user. [19:49] guntbert: my ethernet is recognized but I can not enter the internet niether from Firefox nor apt-get and when I enter ifconfig it seems that the driver is recognized but no connection [19:49] ojii: should look like michael:x:1000:1000:michael,,,:/home/michael:/bin/bash [19:49] ojii: there is a difference between adduser and useradd [19:49] I has forgot my password and I need to reinstall the system again. [19:49] iceroot: which is? [19:49] bot [19:49] holy, why not change the password? [19:49] Dr_Willis: I know. [19:49] guntbert: excuse me, my english is not good ^_^ [19:49] ojii: one is setting up a systemuser, the other is adding a user to a group [19:49] trijntje: How? [19:49] holy: Boot in "recovery mode" to change your own password. [19:50] Hello, I need help. Recently my hard drive in my laptop has broke. So, I have been thinking of methods to run an operating system witout the use of hard drive. This happened to be the Ubuntu Live CD Jaunty - I think - However, is it possible to save live session setting to a USB flash drive? [19:50] ojii: man adduser man useradd [19:50] holy: you can chroot in, and change any users passwords you want. [19:50] also iceroot where's the big difference between your passwd file and mine? [19:50] grawity: Which command? [19:50] iceroot: no no.. didnt explain clearly i guess. Im actually writing a script to kill processes... so the user will specify the pid only.. Im checking if that user is the owner of the process hes trying to kill and then proceed further.. on this note could you tell me if given PID and only PID how I can find out the user associated with it. [19:50] holy: reboot -> "Recovery mode" -> "root shell" -> command is "passwd holy" (assuming "holy" is your Ubuntu username) [19:50] iceroot: my user is not supposed to have a home dir in /home/.../, it's for a ftp user [19:50] alaqsory: please don't just tell me - tell the channel [19:50] holy, start in recovery mode, then change the password of you account with the passwd command [19:50] wrapster: id username [19:50] grawity: Oh, thanks. [19:50] my ethernet is recognized but I can not enter the internet niether from Firefox nor apt-get and when I enter ifconfig it seems that the driver is recognized but no connection [19:50] Say, what do I have to do to get sshd to allow a user to connect? Is there a particular group? [19:51] Zer: i just insstall the ssh service. and all my users can ssh in. [19:51] ojii: but if i am correct, passwd starts with the username [19:51] ojii: ah i see, your paste was bad [19:51] It works! [19:51] alaqsory: very descriptive :) , it seems to be a DNS problem [19:51] holy: amazing :) [19:51] after /passwd -d <...>/ [19:51] alaqsory: can you ping your router? [19:52] I have set up the new UNIX password in usual terminal... [19:52] iceroot: witschi-law:x:1002:1000:,,,:/var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch/:/bin/bash [19:52] epinky: nop it is not, becausein live cd and windows the ethernet is good and using the same dns [19:52] how can I do this properly? sudo echo "blah" > /root/testfile [19:52] Which good ICQ client can you advise? [19:52] ojii: yes, i see [19:52] Hmm. I installed it, and it gives me "Auth User/Pass with PS...fail...Please reconnect!" [19:52] ActionParsnip: no i can not [19:52] ojii: my problem was the /etc/... [19:52] holy: pidgin does icq [19:52] ah [19:52] I'm confused as to what dc image to download, I want an image that will support 4gigs of ram and an intel prosessor [19:52] Zer: What SSH client are you using? [19:53] If you take alook on the pics you will know more about my problem [19:53] http://img163.imageshack.us/g/screenshot1zg.png/ [19:53] Anyone here has used unionfs on ubuntu ? [19:53] solexious, amd64, the name stupid ;) [19:53] alaqsory: can you ping loopback? [19:53] ActionParsnip: Yeah, but I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and have to update to be able to use ICQ... [19:53] Ben64: see ---> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [19:53] I tried using OpenSSH Client. I've also used PuTTY, but I can't see what error it gives after I try to log in because it closes the window [19:53] ojii: hm i dont see the error but why needing /bin/bash for ftpuser? [19:53] Anyone? - Hello, I need help. Recently my hard drive in my laptop has broke. So, I have been thinking of methods to run an operating system witout the use of hard drive. This happened to be the Ubuntu Live CD Jaunty - I think - However, is it possible to save live session setting to a USB flash drive? [19:53] holy: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [19:53] holy: Read that. [19:53] ojii: then he can use ssh and sftp also [19:53] epinky: I did not try [19:53] iceberg: i just used adduser... so i think it did that automatically [19:54] grawity: thanks [19:54] trijntje: the amd bit made me think it wasnt for intel cpu's [19:54] ojii: correct [19:54] Ben64: here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo are hints on using sudo [19:54] Ryann: use isb flash drive or live cd [19:54] also iceberg i like to be able to ssh into my server using a normal user other than root [19:54] Ryann: you can make a bootable usb with a persistant 'save' file. if you wanted.. or actually do an install to a usb flash drive. [19:54] *usb [19:54] ojii: ok [19:54] Dr_Willis: thanks [19:54] Ryann: that eliminates teh need for a cd also. :) [19:54] Ah, it's the same error in PuTTY. [19:54] solexious, yeah, I think thats some legacy, but that image is also for intel processors [19:54] Dr_Willis: But, will it fit into 1gb? :/ [19:54] trijntje: thanks [19:54] "Auth User/Pass with PS...fail...Please reconnect!." [19:54] iceberg: if i change the passwd file do i have to do anything to take effect? [19:54] ojii: use iceroot [19:55] argh [19:55] iceroot: tab completion fails me [19:55] Ryann: 1gb? hmm. not sure. Proberly can. But egads.. ive seen 4GB flash drives on sale for $10 or less these days [19:55] ojii: no but dont edit the passwd directly [19:55] ojii: there was a command for editing passwd [19:55] Ryann: 4gb at least gives you some room to actually do stuff. :) [19:55] Ryann: puppy or damn small linux [19:55] hi,all i am a new ubuntu user [19:55] iceroot: i just noticed that your homedir doesn't have a trailing slash, mine does... [19:55] Ryann: tiny core linux = 10mb iso file. :) [19:55] usb flash drives are way too slow for an OS [19:55] !hi pirasa [19:55] Ben64: faster then a cdrom/live cd i find. [19:56] ojii: Trailing slash is not important. [19:56] ojii: ah yes, you are right [19:56] !hi | pirasa [19:56] pirasa: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [19:56] Any idea what would cause "Auth User/Pass with PS...fail...Please reconnect!." from sshd? I know the login name and password to be correct. I just installed sshd from Synaptic [19:56] i have been using gnome [19:56] but i want to try [19:56] ojii: getent passwd look if all of your starts with / [19:56] kde [19:56] Dr_Willis: well it seems someone wants to boot and use it like it was installed, which would be bad on usb [19:56] pirasa: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [19:56] Dr_Willis: Does it work as good as Jaunty? [19:56] pirasa: install kubuntu-desktop package. select kde from the gdm login screen [19:56] !enter | pirasa [19:56] pirasa: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:56] Ryann: tinycore linux is specilized for being as small as possible. its not as full featured as ubuntu. Thats not its 'goal' [19:56] ok thank you [19:56] I have to much work to do, too many things I have to remember. Is there a good program/website that lets me have all this in one place? [19:57] ojii: ah, your home is / [19:57] and how can i uninstall after using it ? [19:57] iceroot: but i don't want it to be /! [19:57] !puregnome [19:57] dual: you could check out 'tiddlywiki' and use it to take notes. :) [19:57] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [19:57] ojii: my eyes are bad on that pastebin color [19:57] Dr_Willis: Okay, but it has basic applications; MSN, Firefox etc? [19:57] Dr_Willis, thanks [19:57] ojii: of course you dont want it :) [19:57] Ryann: for 10mb.. what do you expect? :) firefox is another 10+mb download i imagine... [19:57] dual: tomboy ? [19:57] ojii: remove the / and test again [19:57] iceroot: from where? [19:58] Ryann: its a minimal desktop that lets you ionsstall stuff you need from the net. thats how its designed to work. [19:58] Zer -> are you trying to login as root? It might be that root login has been disabled in /etc/sshd/sshd_config (find a line permitrootlogin) [19:58] No [19:58] I am trying to log on as a user with sudo privilege (Ubuntu), but that's it [19:58] sshd server is running at the other site? [19:58] Dr_Willis: Okay. Would you be able to explain how I can install my wireless drivers to my USB flash drive? [19:58] Ryann: i got grub2 setup to boot my TinyCoreLinux.iso file from the hard drive as a 'emergancy' system. [19:58] ojii: hm, can the user you created access /var/www? [19:58] sorry that i ask not in English but.... Ребят, русско-говорящие есть? [19:58] epinky: did you set the problem [19:58] Ryann: i dont use wireless much. and ive never used a wireless usb gizmo.

They are faily cheap [19:59] Zer: Maybe run "sudo tail -fn 0 /var/log/auth.log /var/log/syslog" on the server? Then attempt to ssh, and watch for log entries. [19:59] Ryann: wireless drivers for tiny corelinux add another 10+mb to the size. :P [19:59] alaqsory: loopback got response? then ping your address, just to check [19:59] ojii: hm, ok [19:59] grawity, thanks a lot [19:59] icyj: It's Christmas, so I don't got money at the moment - nor a job.

[20:09] epinky: he wants another home [20:09] #ubuntu-es [20:09] epinky: the whole point is basically to add a user for proftpd, so i don't want /home// [20:10] How can I create a DVD for some old DVD player? Can I make it with programs from the ubuntustudio-video suit? [20:10] Hi guys. Does anyone know how to tell gdm to disable the reboot/shutdown/restart buttons, or at the least, require authentication before rebooting/shutting down/restarting? I tried setting the GConf variable /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons to true, but it didn't have any effect.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:11] ojii, you want to move home for the user witschi-law ? [20:11] ibuclaw: yes [20:11] ibuclaw: or rather create the user with a atypical home dir [20:11] i did ask before, ubottu, but got no reply [20:11] winmisser: he is a bot [20:11] ojii, sudo usermod -m -d /path/to/new/home witschi-law [20:11] hmm, I tried "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so" and changed to ubuntu, but still have kubuntu splash screen on startup :S [20:11] oh.. lol [20:11] hi [20:12] ibuclaw: the user already has the dir set when i created him! [20:12] ibuclaw: but the userdir is only stored at /etc/passwd isnt it? [20:12] can everyone help me to configure wpa in console ? [20:12] ibuclaw: i did: adduser --home /paath/to/home/dir witschi-law [20:12] ojii:with adduser you can define where you want your home directory, but you'll have to delete with userdel before and then recreate [20:12] epinky: i did!

[20:13] i [20:13] ojii: then type "sudo adduser witschi-law" [20:13] Is there any (obvious) reason why this happens? It is not critical but I am curious to know if there is a why to make this work. [20:13] ojii, wait ... so what is the issue?

[20:16] ibuclaw: i tried both existing and with none existing dir [20:16] ojii the path to get to that may not have the correct perms, [20:16] hi everybody - can someone give me please a hint why the KEYBOARD of my xps m2010 from dell does NOT work with ubuntu 9.10 - synaptic touchpad DOES work! :) - have to plug in a USB keyboard -> weired [20:16] nanonanu: chown -R username:group /that/path didn't help.... [20:16] ojii a directory without the correct perms may not be traversed [20:16] nanonanu: ? [20:17] ojii you are not following, the parent dir may not have the correct perms to allow you to view it [20:17] with ubuntu 9.04 i had no troubles - except the sound [20:17] nanonanu: why would a user need to be allowed to view parent dirs of his homedir? [20:17] hi there I need to make a dvd what program should i use well i try brasero but is showing me an error [20:17] ojii does it work fo ryou? [20:17] Why is there a program on synaptic called "pornview"? [20:17] nanonanu: ?

[20:18] mbeierl -> a pair of pliers, will do [20:18] nanonanu: I know! but it's a ftp user which needs access to a dir in var www only! because it's only for a website! [20:18] LjL: No specific reason.. just I would think after seeing the strictness of this chat room that ubuntus repos were even more sanitized [20:19] nanonanu: HA! I'm really close to doing that. I have an older laptop where that mouse is failing and is constantly moving the pointer to the top of the screen [20:19] ojii -> you are not getting the point, to traverse a directory path, the user must have a valid perms to traverse it [20:19] how to install tor? [20:19] pkkm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR has instructions. [20:20] nanonanu: define 'valid perms to traverse it', i don't want to give the user rights to actually do a lot in the directories below his home dir [20:20] ojii, seems to work for me ... [20:20] ibuclaw: o_O [20:20] hello [20:20] mbeierl: You sure it isn't just recalibrating itself?

[20:20] anyone know how i can fix that? [20:20] adduser --home /var/www/vhosts/witschi-law.ch/httpdocs/sites/witschi-law.ch/ witschi-law [20:20] i have a question [20:21] how do i make my desktop picture keep changing [20:21] ojii: User must have the "execute" (+x) permission for each directory in the path -- that is: /, /var, /var/www, /var/www/vhosts, and so on. [20:21] grawity, thanks [20:21] grawity: yes, it keeps happening constantly. first up, then down.... [20:21] how do i make my desktop picture keep changing [20:21] grawity: thanks, seems he can't cd into httpdocs [20:21] mbeierl: pull it, clean it, clean the keys around it and put it back [20:21] ojii -> there grawity made it clearer for me .. thanks [20:21] grawity, ++ [20:22] hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [20:22] Has anybody used Samba4? If so has anybody had better luck with it overtop of the existing Samba version? [20:22] guntbert: thanks. Did that. used compressed air, etc... [20:22] nicolaus: You can script it by using gconftool-2 to set the key. There isn't really a built-in nice method. [20:22] !hi > nicolaus [20:22] nicolaus, please see my private message [20:22] ty [20:22] hi ibuclaw [20:23] Hi all. I am trying to get my printer to work. It is an HP. I have installed HPLIP, which says that jobs are submitted then completed. Nothing coming out of printer. Help! [20:23] mbeierl: remember I said clean the surrounding keys too, because they tend to "push" it a little [20:23] !love > nicolaus [20:23] nicolaus, please see my private message [20:23] grawity: how do i chmod a dir for a user? [20:23] fbdystang: dumb question, is it plugged and powered? :) [20:24] ojii: same as a file. If you want to change everything in it as well, use -R. [20:24] ojii: Well, Unix only supports setting permissions for directory's (or file's) owner, group, and the rest. But I see no reason why couldn't you just set all directories to be executable by everyone (o+x) [20:24] ojii -> i know this is an extra work for you, but try man chmod [20:24] epinky: of course, I can even see it through the IP [20:24] guntbert: that's why I'm at a loss and am hoping there is a way in software to disable it... the direction changes all the time, and if I push really hard on the knob-mouse in the right direction I can usually force it to halt progress and sometimes get it back === heather is now known as Guest4951 [20:24] join #_HW_ [20:24] man this is weird. I have two computers, one setup to accept VNC connections(server). I can connect to the server from my PC but when I go to connect to the server from the client pc, which is a laptop, using the WAN IP nothing happens. [20:24] ojii, chmod +x [20:24] i still dont get it [20:25] so if I run that as root it will work for that user? [20:25] how do i make my destopn keep changing the picture [20:25] the ports open, but something is screwy on the client laptop [20:25] mbeierl: I see - let me look (i seem to remember something...) [20:25] guntbert: it also happens when the cover of the knob is off. I really think the knob-mouse itself is dying and I'm trying to just simply override it :( [20:25] guntbert: thanks! [20:25] tonyyarusso, grawity, nanonanu: sorry, i was thinking too far [20:25] Printer help please :) [20:26] mbeierl -> my thinkpad does not have the red dot, i physically peeled it off [20:26] # [20:26] tonyyarusso, grawity, nanonanu, ibuclaw thanks a lot! seems setting +x on httpdocs was all I needed to do.... [20:27] join #linux [20:27] nanonanu: this is a toshiba... removing the rubber lid doesn't change it's behaviour either ... the thing is possessed... [20:27] ojii -> really sometimes one need to spend some time reviewing file/dir permissions [20:27] cheese sammiches [20:27] mbeierl: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint is not exactly what you need, but maybe a starter :-) [20:27] nanonanu: yea i didn't know about the traversing-thing, was only thinking about the actual dir... [20:27] mbeierl -> see if the xorg.conf have an entry for it [20:28] ojii, no probs. [20:28] link me your favorite gnome icon theme [20:28] ojii -> but am glad you picked up a new thing to learn [20:28] !ot | Supersaiyan_IV [20:28] Supersaiyan_IV: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:29] hmm for some reason my ftp user still can't log in [20:29] mbeierl: Good luck :-) [20:29] like if i try logging in via ftp it doesn't work [20:29] guntbert: thanks!

[20:33] anyone familiar with csh scripting that could help me learn it? [20:33] eee: that is if you want to install a program from the official repositories, otherwise read the README or INSTALL files that come with the program you want to install [20:33] how to go to the Ubuntu Software Center?

[20:33] I keep getting E: bird: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [20:33] Is there a command like cat but that syntax highlights code? (maybe uses vim for that) [20:33] blacksun7: bash and zsh are better, IMO :| [20:33] the last\ [20:33] E: bird6: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [20:33] Hi all [20:34] i duno from where to go [20:34] I suppose I should ad that I'm looking for a font manager for gnome [20:34] grawity, that may be all well and good but this is for a job where i dont get to choose [20:34] anyone know how i can fix that [20:34] eee: click on 'Applications' in the top left corner of your screen in the menu, then click on "Ubuntu Software Center" [20:34] ActionParsnip - what, Samba4? [20:34] scottj, not really - why not just use an editor? [20:34] what is the samba [20:35] Roasted: aye [20:35] Here's another question. Windows has a hard time starting and running when to many fonts are installed (in the Font folder), does linux have this same sort of problem? [20:35] !samba | Cool_GUY [20:35] Cool_GUY: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [20:35] ibuclaw: well, don't you use cat sometimes? Wouldn't it be nice to alias cat to something that works the same but does syntax highlighting? [20:35] Is there a way to get "Room List" working in Empathy on Karmic? [20:35] ActionParsnip - yeah, I believe its in beta still, but version 4 is the newer one [20:35] ibuclaw: bc I don't want to have to quit the editor [20:35] ActionParsnip - I was just curious if any users have played with it in the event of its still too buggy to use or anything like that. [20:35] agorist, not that I am aware of in my 3 years using ... then again - I don't consider myself an avant font collector - nor would I know how many fonts are installed on my system ;) [20:35] Roasted: might have a play. I found a PPA [20:36] i already clicked there is no ubuntu software [20:36] ActionParsnip - yeah I have it here in the repos on my Kubuntu laptop [20:36] havent installed it though [20:36] I hit 127.0.0.1 from the firefox but it can not establish aconnection to 127.0.0.1 [20:36] eee: then you don't have newest ubuntu, anyway try: System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager [20:36] ActionParsnip - I figured it might be worthwhile to try installing on my work laptop since I don't have a samba server here, so if things backfire with samba4 I can just reinstall, whereas at home I have a full blown samba server that I dont want to experiment with [20:37] i am trying to get my thinkpad fingerprint reader working. i tried building bioapi from source, run into Qt version issue. (bioapi needs older version) [20:37] Roasted: try asking on #samba [20:37] ojii - already did [20:37] and linux [20:37] ah okay [20:37] alaqsory, what are you trying to do? [20:37] not enough traffic there really [20:37] but when I ping it from network tools 127.0.0.1 recieved data [20:37] alaqsory, usually: http://localhost is used [20:37] Hi all. :) I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to the newest version with out ordering the cd or having to create a cd.

They dont see eachother. I do have folders shared on each... I dont get what i'm doing wrong. [20:38] Why would a ftp user not be able to log in (using proftpd, and just normal system users as user)? [20:38] ibuclaw: and then ping my roter 192.168.1.1 [20:38] router* [20:38] ty5479: firewall! [20:38] If 'host domain.com' gets you the IP, how can you get the domain name for an IP?

[20:39] there is no connection [20:39] ty5479: first try telnet the IP of one to the other [20:39] Hello - I installed the dovecot-postfix package. The only thing I changed from default in the postfix conf is set it up with virtual mailbox-maps using mysql. All that works well - I can recieve mail over imap with dovecot. BUT I cannot send outgoing messages. Keep getting: "Recipient address rejected". Feel like I'm missing something obvious [20:39] alaqsory, is this on the workstation you are using to talk through here? [20:40] Is there any way to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to the newest version with out having to get the cd or create the cd? [20:40] TrevorRose2010: most certainly there should be an easey way to do that. i would check faq's at ubuntu.com [20:40] ibuclaw: I tried it on ubuntu on my hard [20:40] bsdunix: trying now... for some odd reason if i ping the hostname it comes up as 24.28.193.9 [20:40] scottj, it may be nice ... but if you don't want to quit the editor, then why not have tabbed terminals... or fork to gedit. [20:41] Also, my server seems to be denying incoming messages as well, from for example gmail [20:41] not on virtual machine [20:41] but if i go to the actual computer, it's 192.168.1.10.. which i cant telnet into [20:41] alright, thanks bsdunix. I've got another question, but I'm going to im you to see if you can answer it. [20:41] ty5479: 24.28.193.9 is not within the private (lan) address range [20:41] scottj, Ctrl+Shift+T to create a new tab in gnome-terminal, Alt+1 and Alt+2 to switch between. [20:42] alaqsory, what does the network manager applet say? [20:42] are you connected ?

I have always had problems in the past with Pidgin, either its something else going wrong with it. I have no plugins installed, so thats not the problem. I just want to get advice, and see how we can fix this. I am running on Ubuntu 9.10 just so you know. [20:46] a [20:47] melter, I've had no issues with network printing with HP printers ... so being a little more specific may help. [20:48] Kevin147: I don't know much about problems with pidgin specifically (I used it but don't have many aside from usability ones). First I would wonder if it has to do with any of your existing IM profiles. Perhaps remove them all and add a brand new one. Then see if it crashes. [20:48] Melter: I am using an HP Laserjet 5000, works perfectly [20:49] ibuclaw: it is on sda6 [20:49] ibuclaw: i believe i can just copy the directories from some other installation but i dont know if that can be done [20:49] Mainstay: I already have done that.

[20:52] Alan502, okies [20:52] Alan502, I'll update your thread [20:52] Kevin147: out of curiosity, what protocol(s) are you using on pidgin? [20:53] hey how do i get the [20:53] network of my ip [20:53] ibuclaw: ok thanks :) [20:53] hello [20:53] Trism: Protocol(s)? [20:53] i have one problem: how to disable updating via update manager on some packages in xubuntu 9.10? [20:54] blazon: ip ad [20:54] can anyone answer my question please? [20:54] !pin | djura-san [20:54] djura-san: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [20:54] Kevin147: AIM/MSN/Yahoo/Google Talk, etc? [20:54] guntbert: i only want to know what kind of color laser printer can run with ubuntu without any problem... i am new in linux [20:54] Question, where is the gmd config to install new themes ? === b0w is now known as b0w[out] [20:54] gdm* [20:55] Trism: Ohh, that. Sorry, I had a brain cramp there for a second, I am using 1 account MSN, 1 account Yahoo, And 1 account for Google Talk. [20:55] ibuclaw: epinky sorry for lating [20:55] I'm having a strange problem with timezones, it seems /usr/share/zoneinfo doesn't include the 'PST' timezone. [20:55] what is the best way to go about vpn/rdp/whatever? It sounds like NX is a good pick but it's not OSS so I don't want to run it and FreeNX hasn't been updated in a couple of years. I know tightvnc has some compression stuff but it still runs a bit slow on my connection and it is cumbersome to setup a ssh forward everytime. [20:55] wow pidgin is the best [20:56] guntbert: so basically i just need to lock program version in synaptic? [20:56] so if i cant ask your advise here, using this operating system will make useless to me [20:56] does pidgin do irc chat? [20:56] ga_sk8er: yes [20:56] i cant get xchat to find this room [20:56] ga_sk8er: yes it does [20:56] guntbert i am trying to add an ip to eth0:1 but i dont know the "network" of my ip [20:56] djura-san: sorry, all I know about it is the factoid I sent you [20:56] ArCHoNKoG: are you just trying to install a new theme? [20:56] how do i know what the "network" address is [20:57] it seems there is no solution for my problem [20:57] guntbert: Thank you. You give me enough material to continue my search. Thank you again :) [20:57] blazon, inside or outside of LAN? [20:57] my problem is [20:57] outside [20:57] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfR-wGEf_yc [20:57] and this http://img163.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=screenshot1zg.png [20:57] icyj, yes [20:58] outside ... 64.140.238.245/29 [20:58] blazon, http://www.whatismyip.com/ [20:58] so if u dont know the answer dont tell me dont do this or that... i will wait the answer [20:58] hi [20:58] Alan502, hi [20:58] ArCHoNKoG: you can open System -> Preferences -> Appearance, then drag the theme archive into the window, and it should install automatically [20:58] ibuclaw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/333384/ [20:59] blazon: you should have enough data there to add your ip [20:59] are there any type of disk concatenation/jbod packages in ubuntu? [20:59] blazon: you may also need a default route and a dns server address [20:59] can anyone hel. with missing letters on ubuntu, .lz :) [20:59] I usually use freebsd and use gconcat .. [20:59] i have all that [20:59] i loaded pidgin & loggeed into an irc but i cant see what others are typing [20:59] ibuclaw: again, i think something is wrong with the bin directory [20:59] i just dont know how to tell what my "network" address is [21:00] icyj, would that work for gdm themes or over all all themes ? [21:00] i know ppl are talking in it cause i can see the irc on the website [21:00] hola [21:00] Alan502_, I would suggest reinstallation - as that would be the easiest route. [21:00] hay alguien? [21:01] can anyone hel. with missing letters on ubuntu, .lz :) [21:01] i have a question [21:01] Gah, I think I've shagged my installation of ubuntu. I was trying to get a serial mouse to work, and the only solution seems to be editing xorg.conf [21:01] Which didn't exist, so I installed xorg [21:01] And now the damn pc won't boot [21:01] Alan502_, did you say that you started the Kubuntu Installer and quit halfway through? [21:02] ibuclaw: *sigh* well... what would be the other root_ [21:02] i have installed ubuntu with 3gb of disc, but in my disc i have more gb.. but when i want to update, it says "not enought disc" [21:02] ibuclaw: the ubuntu installer to be accurate... [21:02] anybody listening here? [21:02] anybody can help me? [21:02] Alan502_, and formatted the partition... [21:02] could anyone pls ans my question [21:02] ibuclaw: no, i never formated the partition [21:02] everyone with .roblems and few with knowledge :) [21:02] * shurdry gongola [21:02] Hi, anybody can help me? [21:02] mariano: you'll have to repartition your disk to be larger, from what i understand of your question [21:02] ibuclaw: i just moved the partitions (logical/primary) [21:03] mariano: sup [21:03] noiseee what can i do? [21:03] wrapster: can you repeat your grep command with top [21:03] Anyone using unatended-upgrades? it seems not to be doing any upgrades for me. [21:03] mariano: just post your question and we can help you [21:03] Alan502_, if you ran the installer, chances am you may have formatted the partition without realising. [21:03] i have installed ubuntu with 3gb of disc, but in my disc i have more gb.. but when i want to update, it says "not enought disc" [21:03] anyone know of a way to convert real audio to mp3? This is a little harder than I expected. [21:03] ibuclaw: i choose to not format the partition on the installer [21:03] is it me or does ubuntu install perl with no regular expression support??? [21:03] wrapster: 1) "qt*" is not a valid regular expression as grep expects; "qt.*" would be 2) you should enclose that kind of grep regular expressions in 'quote', or the shell will try to interpret them [21:04] mariano: so you made a partition that's 3GB but you have a larger hard drive, and you want ubuntu to take a larger piece of the hard drive (instead of only 3GB)? [21:04] Gah, I can't find xorg.conf; I've installed xorg, how do I generate the .conf and get it to do its thing? [21:04] Alan502_, fyi, with grub issues, you boot from LiveCD, mount the partition, chroot in and run: update-grub [21:04] in the most simplest test cases [21:04] i still cant get the irc room i want to run on xchat or pidgin [21:04] no, i select in the install of ubuntu in windows.. 3gb install [21:05] epinky: ps -ef |grep qt displays a qcreator as running while top -n 1 |grep qt* fails to do so.. can anyone please explain it to me? [21:05] ibuclaw: yes, i had an idea of how to recover my grub but my internet connection was down [21:05] mariano: sorry don't know [21:05] how to install mms? [21:05] wrapster: i just did. [21:05] ibuclaw: anyway, do you think that formatting is my ultimate solution_ [21:05] dbus-daemon is running at 97-100% constantly. and now certain apps won't start such as rhythmbox and nautilus. How should I troubleshoot this? [21:05] LjL: i dont think so.. coz the same format of expression under ps -ef works.. but not in to. [21:06] wow, is it that complex? anyone have a pointer or two on converting real audio to mp3? [21:06] Alan502_, check the contents of /mnt/home [21:06] wrapster: it shouldn't be "sudo top -n 1| grep -w qcreator" ? [21:06] Alan502_, is your home directory / files there? [21:06] noissee i will explain again.. better [21:06] i got it in lostIRC :) [21:07] i install Ubuntu on Windows.. right?.. without partition. [21:07] epinky: no. === Battyone is now known as Batty|Smoke [21:07] ibuclaw: yes they are still there, i can still back them up [21:07] epinky: / LjL : please explain this. [21:07] http://pastie.org/724170 [21:08] wrapster: oh well, top would only display a process if that process *is* among the ones consuming the top amount of CPU [21:08] and.. in the option i select 3gb instaltion.. [21:08] mariano: not as far as i know [21:08] ibuclaw: and re-install but the problem will be re-installing the apps as my internet connection is a little bit poor and downloading them takes me a while [21:08] is it me or does ubuntu install perl with no regular expression support??? [21:08] hey..anyone knows how gps should work on karmic..? i've tried viking and gpsdrive..somehow seems that they can't recognize my gps device.. or get signal from it..should i change some setting from gpsd? [21:08] ahh [21:08] LjL: no it displays even if the process is consumign 0.0% of CPU [21:08] wrapster: that will depend on the height of your terminal (which makes grepping top... unorthodox to say the least) [21:08] i want to know, if there is an option to do big the disc use? [21:09] Alan502_, do you ever run: apt-get clean, or apt-get autoclean ? [21:09] mariano: you'd have to install ubuntu on its own partition as far as i know [21:09] ibuclaw: not really [21:09] ibuclaw: i think that means i can still find my apps in the temp directory right_ [21:09] wrapster: but it doesn't display *all* processes, only those consuming the most cpu. if none are consuming much cpu, then it'll show 0. look at "top" and then look at the full output of "ps aux" - don't you think the latter is a little longer? [21:09] NoiseEee: there is an option to install Ubuntu on windows. [21:09] wrapster: afaik that grep qt* will take 't' letter [21:10] Alan502_, check /mnt/var/cache/apt/archives [21:10] wrapster: try "ps aux | wc -l" and "top -n 1 | wc -l" to count the number of lines (i.e. the number of processes) [21:10] install ubuntu on windows??? [21:10] LjL:definitely [21:10] yes. [21:10] NoiseEee: using Wubi [21:10] Alan502_, anything that is a .deb file will be of help =) [21:10] no no.. [21:10] yes, raindog.. [21:10] wrapster: well, that shows that a process won't necessarily be shown by top... [21:11] LjL: yeah so which is the best way to observe process then? [21:11] wrapster: err, that depends on what exactly you're trying to observe, i guess. [21:11] wrapster: why doesn't grepping "ps" work? [21:12] ibuclaw: ok, thanks for your help :D ill tell you how it goes and update the thread [21:12] LjL: it does.. but i cannot get the cpu / memory utilization and all [21:12] ibuclaw: very appreciated man [21:12] for that process... [21:12] Could anyone talk to me a little about setting up xorg? [21:12] wrapster: yes you can, "ps aux | grep qt" [21:12] anybody can help me?... i install Ubuntu on Windows.. and when i want to update, it say "not enought disc space", but i have sufficient space. [21:13] wrapster: this would probably be best though: "top -p pid-of-qtcreator" [21:13] mariano: please run sudo fdisk -l on the ubuntu terminal, and paste its contents on paste.ubuntu.com [21:14] Disco /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes [21:14] 255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 9729 cilindros [21:14] Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [21:14] Identificador de disco: 0x248cad1d [21:14] Disposit.

[21:14] mariano: he said paste it to the link ^^ [21:14] hehe you had to know that was coming [21:15] sorry i have pasted it [21:15] LjL: so if it does not show up in the top output in the first place.. how will he know about its existence at all... [21:15] sorry i dont understand so much english jaja [21:15] now, what can i do? [21:16] mariano: did you install ubuntu with wubi_ [21:16] mariano: german? === Batty|Smoke is now known as battyone [21:16] hey guys i have a cd it has 8 .mpg files how can i convert all them to one dvd file [21:16] iceroot: he speaks spanish lol [21:16] Alan502_: ah ok, thought of "jaja" which is german [21:16] iceroot: whats the spanish channel? he might be better understood in that one [21:16] !es | mariano [21:16] mariano: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:16] alan502: yes, i install with the option INSTALL ON WINDOWS, with the autorun in Windows xp [21:17] LjL: so any idea how i can resolve this? [21:17] iceroot: jaja is also a laugh in spanish :) [21:17] Alan502_: ah ok [21:17] Gracias ubottu [21:17] #proftpd seems to be dead, so I'll try here: I have two VPS servers running ubuntu, on both i have proftpd installed and both have the same config file, but on one i can log in with my users, on the other i cant (not even with root!), why would that be? [21:18] wrapster: uh, well, i'm not sure what your script intends to add compared to "top" (which can already sort processes by amount of memory taken, and lets the user kill them)... but you should definitely grep "ps" (if anything, surely not "top") in a script. you also shouldn't use "*" unquoted in a script - the implications of doing that are that the script will fail to work correctly depending on what *files* one has in the current directory, because * is a [21:18] shell wildcard. [21:18] wrapster: finally, i suggest #bash for more specific help regarding commands to use in a script [21:18] i get configure: error pcre-config not found, install pcre-devel package or blah......... apt-get or package manager has nothing for pcre-devel.. any clues please? [21:19] anydoby can help me? [21:19] iceroot: do you know what command to run to see how much disk space he has occupied_ [21:19] df [21:19] LjL: ok thanks... [21:19] mariano: wait a minute, im googling, not a linux expert >,< [21:20] hi, running 9.10 synaptic is totally dead. can't figure out why. get msg about "another synaptic is running, trying to bring it to foreground" but ps|aux grep "syanptic" is empty [21:20] pls help any clue, googling for an hour now [21:20] lionstone, what about system updates, apt-get, etc? [21:20] what's that lionstone? [21:20] lionstone: you did grep "synaptic", and not "syanptic", right? [21:20] fine [21:21] yes :) [21:21] Alan502_, posted: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8428315#post8428315 [21:21] lionstone: try "ps aux | grep apt" too [21:21] I cannot install Ubuntu 9.10 over itself, why? [21:21] LjL: roger [21:21] !aptfix | lionstone, if that shows nothing, do this [21:21] lionstone, if that shows nothing, do this: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [21:21] LjL: you will probably throw me out of this channel for ever i guess... [21:21] wrapster: i don't have that ability [21:21] wrapster: Will you pastebin your script so I can take a look at it? [21:22] ubottu, Ljl: apt is running [21:22] lionstone: "apt" what? [21:23] LjL: top also shows it but i had written in such a way that i manually removed those processes that at the moment are using 0.0% CPU and with -n 1 switch added to top it was being yanked out.... [21:23] mariano: Alan502: " df -h" [21:23] and thats y it was not displayed.. [21:23] LjL: really sorry buddy.... [21:23] LjL: sorry, that was just the grep process. nothing besides that [21:23] Alan502_, if there is anything else you need explaining / clarifying just ping me [21:23] I cannot install Ubuntu 9.10 over itself, why? [21:23] wrapster: try it a few times. if it's using 0.0, it'll sometimes show and *sometimes not*, depending on where it ends in the list [21:23] warriorforgod: that would not be necessary as i figured it out.. my mistake itself. [21:23] Anyone know where I can get the b43-fwcutter files from? [21:24] lionstone: then issue the command i gave. that will unlock apt, but it may complain about something then. [21:24] LjL: I ran the command with no problem but still no synaptic [21:24] LjL: but is there a way i can know the currently running processes? [21:24] lionstone, erm, i don't mean grep, but the other [21:24] Lint01: delete the partition, I have done format / before and things not going how they should have regarding space [21:25] im working on firewall, security, iptables, postfix. this is coool. linux rules. ubuntu is linux. linus torvaldds is a god [21:25] wrapster: erm, yes, "ps aux"...? [21:25] LjL: I mean processes as they can be seen on my actual desktop. [21:25] all of us are mere disciples of linus torvalds [21:25] Lint01: or whatever it was [21:25] LjL: yes, apt was not running at all. I was confused by the grep process :) [21:25] LjL:not like that. [21:25] wrapster: a process is a process. do you want to know about windows? [21:25] sebsebseb: I cannot delete that partition, it contains my data; and it's not out-of-space error [21:25] LjL:yeah perhaps... [21:26] !home | Lint01 [21:26] Lint01: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [21:26] Does any know where I can get help on changing my incoming POP3 Port Numbers and my Outgoing SMTP numbers [21:26] Is there any was at all to debug synaptic? I can put up anything on pastebin. But running sudo syanptic is just straight up empty [21:26] Where can I find the driver files for the BCM43xx wireless? [21:27] sebsebseb: I don;t have a separate partition for /home, I want to use what I really have and not all that conjectures [21:27] uh, something is wrong with the HP F300 driver on ubuntu [21:27] ibuclaw: im impressed of your attention :) thats why i like the linux community. I will tell you if i need something and i am now updating the thread. Thank you very much! [21:27] Chico: servers or client? [21:27] Anyone suggest a Font Manager for gnome? [21:27] hi i have a ipod classic 6th generation and hundreds of cds...and i was wondering which media software would be best for me? i've tried songbird and banshee but neither have been very successful...

[21:27] when I try to print, the printer starts moving but doesn't output anything [21:27] Client [21:27] i need a solution which convert pdf to text in exact pattern. [21:28] any such tool guys? [21:28] CUPS gives up on the printing after waiting for a few minutes, and the printer gets stuck in "printing" mode without doing anything [21:28] Chico: : client program? [21:28] wrapster: other than playing with "xwininfo", for now, no [21:28] connecting the printer locally and printing works, but I can't really do that since then I'd need to share the printer on the network, and this is a notebook so I can't really act as a printing server [21:28] Trying to setup email on evolution [21:28] LjL: ok [21:28] tool to convert .pdf to .txt, preserving the pattern ?? or tool to convert .txt file to a specific regex??

The only difference is the .ssh/authorized_keys [21:40] the blue middle button [21:40] Zer: password authentication has nothing to do with authroized_keys so has no relevence [21:40] ikonia I have Samba installed still cannot get my domain workgroup to recognize this computer which has ubuntu on my windows machine [21:40] Lint01: tell it to format the partition at the installer [21:40] bsdunix: for example if you open a browser with a long page and want to scrolle it, you press and hold the middle button ande press down...but nothing happens [21:40] ikonia: I cannot format the partition [21:40] Lint01: why ? [21:41] ToStItOs: you'll need to get your ubuntu machine to be a domain member to use your windows AD group as auth [21:41] ikonia: because it has my /home and some applications [21:41] DrRobino: i think googling 'thinkwiki' and 'touchpoint' may help you [21:41] Lint01: then why are you trying to re-install ? [21:41] Ikonia: how do i do that? [21:42] ToStItOs: that's quite a complex process [21:42] ikonia: because my current system became unusable after last update [21:42] bsdunix: well tried but nothing useful [21:42] ToStItOs: are you sure you want it to auth against your domain ? [21:42] hey guys i have a cd it has 8 .mpg files how can i convert all them to one dvd file [21:42] Lint01: define usuable [21:42] can someone help me debug bluetooth? [21:42] ikonia: it does not boot. are you happy? [21:43] Lint01: what is the problem with won't boot - what happens ? [21:43] Ikonia I just want to be able share my files between both computers. My network is hooked up via wired connection [21:43] does anybody have rootfs and swap on luks? [21:43] dj_: are you saying you want to make a dvd that will play in a stand-alone dvd player? [21:43] ToStItOs: that's fine, you don't need your domain for that [21:43] i have a key in crypttab but it asks me for pass during boot :/ [21:44] losha:yes i have a cd it has 8 mpg files, i want to create a single dvd [21:44] dj_: Use the program 'devede.... [21:44] Ikonia so how can I share files I have Samba installed what configurations do I need to do [21:44] ToStItOs: you basically need to map your windows user accounts on the client, to some unix+samba accounts on the linux box [21:44] ToStItOs: if you read through the samba link ubottu sent you, I think it covers it at a high level [21:44] ikonia: it writes about mountall failure and stops booting. pressing ^D brings on crippled console which eats first character of input, and has no linebreaks [21:45] Lint01: can you get the exact error ? [21:45] ToStItOs: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=004599128559784038176%3Avj_p0xo-nng&ie=UTF-8&q=samba&sa=Search [21:45] little searching in help.ubuntu.com :) [21:46] ikonia: mountall failed. Press Ctrl-D to open maintenance console or smth like it [21:46] Lint01: could really use the exact error, it normally gives a clue why mountall will fail [21:47] The relevance is that the only difference I can see is one uses ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and one uses password authentication. The former gives an error talking about AllowUsers, and the latter just works. [21:47] Zer: yes, so no relevence at all [21:47] Ok. Any idea why the former wouldn't work then? === david is now known as Guest99978 [21:48] Zer: use ssh -v to find out why, it's either going to be your local key file or your authorized_keys file [21:49] Ikonia thanx for the link I needed that question as far as the second about guest do I use guest or???? [21:49] ssh key is for client is always local, authorized_keys contais public part of the private key [21:49] ikonia: it's irrelevant to my question. I want to re-install the system, and even had to download a special alternate installer CD, which was promised to be able to in-place update systems. But when I'm trying to do it, it fails [21:49] ToStItOs: you can use guest if you want [21:49] ikonia: I don't care about my system' present state [21:49] Lint01: yes, so mountall is a disk problem, and if it can't install the base system that may be a disk problem also so I'm trying to see if there is a common issue [21:49] Ikonia it wont affect anything right? [21:50] ToStItOs: nope [21:50] ok let me try this and see what happens [21:50] thanx alot [21:50] ikonia: when I installed it first time, I had formatted that partition, so it cannot be a disk error. [21:51] Lint01: that means nothing [21:51] Lint01: your system currently has a problem, and your installer currently has a problem - you may have a disk problem === TheTosh is now known as Guest66045 [21:52] hi guys [21:52] hi [21:52] im currently preparing to reinstall ubuntu because my sound isnt working but..is there any way to reinstall alsa so i can save some time? [21:53] what happen if I create a soft-raid1 array with ubuntu, then I install windows ext3 drivers on my XP dual-boot ? [21:53] Drepanon: you won't probably see ext3 partitions [21:53] Ikonia one last question: How many mounts do I create 2? [21:53] Drepanon: 2012!
