[00:00] coz_: that comes with crap i don't need/want [00:00] noah, if i was you, i'd just export your bookmarks / passwords / whatever you care about [00:00] then mv .mozilla .mozilla.old [00:00] coz_, mahngiel ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't include css i don't think -- you need libdvdread4 (which is really just a script to install libdvdreadcss from Medibuntu) [00:00] mahngiel, if you want to play a dvd you will need to run that command [00:00] and import them again, eventually removing the .old when you're sure you've migrated everything [00:00] ZykoticK9: i ran taht script you gave me, and it was already installed [00:00] but that's something i've never done, most of the times i just save .mozilla somewhere before formatting and then forget it where it is [00:00] :P === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:01] is a global place to add to everyone's .rc files? [00:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/334838/ [00:01] mahngiel, try loggin out and back in -- if mplayer is installed try "mplayer dvd://1" in a terminal and see if it works [00:01] Is it just me or Ubuntu asks for your password when you're changing CPU frequency/governor via Gnome's applet? [00:01] or everyone except root? [00:01] ZykotcK9: aight, brb [00:01] ekontsevoy, it is supposed to [00:01] mahngiel, is you run the script? "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"? that actually does the installing [00:01] hola [00:02] !hola | Aquino [00:02] no, i ran what you gave me the first time [00:02] como les va? [00:02] mahngiel, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh run this [00:02] mahngiel, that was the 2nd line of what i origionally gave you [00:02] Can each workspace have its own theme? i want two work spaces, with two differnte themes one Mac OSX-ish, the other Win 7-ish) ? POSSIBLE?? [00:02] coz_: thanks, i am [00:02] yes, i know [00:02] VirusTB, i don't think so [00:03] VirusTB, if you run KDE yes,Gnome no [00:03] could anybody tell me, why my external harddrive (usb 2.0) keeps shuting down after a while, since the new ubuntu release? [00:03] does /etc/profile effect zsh? [00:03] halitech: I know I must be coming off as an idiot. Trust me I feel like I'm missing a major piece of the puzzle. At-any-rate, When I try to open it from the containing folder, it still reads that I do not have permission. === Colrol is now known as Rolcol [00:03] cheoni, we need to open a terminal where you have the file downloaded, where is the file? [00:04] a1887, mmm I havent let mine externals run long enough to test this .. I generally only turn them on for backup and than off again...I will have to test this...about how long does the external have to run before shutdown? [00:04] how to hide the volumes in ubuntu [00:05] halitech: filesystem/tmp [00:05] cheoni, how did you get the file in /tmp? [00:05] that is where it put it [00:05] hri, checkin if that is easily possible [00:05] halitech: that is where it put it. [00:05] about to install Ubuntu on a Xeon 8 core, anything i need to know before i install? [00:06] After adding a VPN connection to Gnome's gui network manager, how do you connect to it? [00:06] hri, ubuntu tweak has an option for that. otherwise the hard way is via gconf [00:06] 2 cpu slot 4 core xeonx [00:06] hi, anyone here have hw Nvidia RAID working at all? [00:06] xeons* [00:06] coz_: how? [00:06] coz_, hmm.. don't really know yet, i'll tell you when it shuts down again. but it will shut down for sure, because it has been happening several times [00:06] !icons | hri [00:06] hri: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [00:06] hri, hold on .. if I can find out how I will let you know :) [00:06] jrib, ty [00:07] a1887, does it actually electrically shut down or just not seen? [00:07] cheoni, go here and download the file, make sure you select save the file and not run http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [00:07] cheoni, and make sure you save it to your home folder [00:07] coz_, electrically shut down... dmesg tells "... reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd ..." [00:08] can you do if not in bashrcs? [00:08] a1887, mmm are you leaving the power supply for the drive plugged in all the time? [00:08] to restart i have to un and replug the power cable [00:09] a1887, ok one thing is that the power supplies for externals will inevitably go bad if left plugged in ... I have 5 bad ones here to prove it :) [00:09] halitech: Well, I was making the mistake of not saving it. And now it is saved to me desktop. Still will not allow me to install it. [00:10] a1887, I only plug them in now with a secdondary computer power supply and usb to ide drive cable attached and even then I only turn the power one when I use it [00:10] cheoni, will be easier for both of us if you don't go jumping ahead :) can you open a terminal please [00:10] a1887, the external power supplies ...unless the drive comes with an on/off switch...will go bad if left one [00:10] on [00:10] not "one" [00:11] halitech: Terminal ready to rock. [00:11] coz_, hm... I think it has something to do with the ubuntu upgrade. before that there was no problem [00:11] I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an Acer Travelmate 8000 (about 5 years old). The only way I could get the install to complete is by adding acpi=off. Now when it boots it locks up at the desktop...so I cannot edit GRUB. Tried booting from LiveCD - edited GRUB but failed on "sudo update-grub". Any ideas? [00:11] ya, no dice gents [00:11] hri, I am finding nothing here on how to hide the Volumes under Places menu...<<< I asssume that is what you meant? [00:11] how can forward my key to a ssh connection ? I want to be able to use my key in more then first level of ssh connection. === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [00:12] cheoni, okay, type in cd Desktop and make sure you do it as Desktop, desktop is not the same as Desktop [00:12] coz_, but I might try it on windows or so... and i will note how long the drive is on till it shuts down [00:13] a1887, yeah that might be a good test... if it is indeed the power supply it should show up in windows as well [00:13] halitech: Alright. Got it. Ready when you are. [00:14] so other than the libvdread4 script, are there any other suggestions on how to get this damned movie to mount? [00:14] cheoni, ok, type in ls -l (lowercase L's) [00:14] mahngiel: you don't mount movies :) What are you doing exactly? [00:14] coz_: there are different volumes know like 30gb etc i want to totally remove it from my system with data and want to get it back when ever i want with the data [00:14] what to do if shutdown -r -f now doesn't work? [00:14] mahngiel, perhaps it's just a technicality but you don't "mount" dvd movies, you play them [00:14] says it's going down for a reboot NOW [00:15] aaaaand.. doesn't. [00:15] halitech: Woah. [00:15] jrib: well, right. lol. i'm trying to get this damned DVD to play. it won't even mount into the computer. [00:15] The_Machine, open a terminal sudo init 6 [00:15] cheoni, woah? that doesn't sound good [00:15] The_Machine, that is the reboot command [00:15] mahngiel: did you install css yet? [00:15] indeed [00:15] mahngiel: how? [00:15] via cmd line in terminal [00:16] mahngiel: how? [00:16] halitech: No, woah is good. a bunch of stuff popped up. [00:16] السلام عليكم [00:16] i restarted, so i don't have the cmd avail atm. but two members in this channel offered it up [00:16] !sa | th_ [00:16] th_: For the Saudi Arabia team : /join #ubuntu-sa : للانظمام الى قناة الفريق السعودي - For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [00:16] coz - yeah, i'm trying to reboot.. [00:17] The_Machine, well did you try sudo init 6 [00:17] The_Machine: sudo reboot [00:17] jrib: it's the css from libdvdread4, no? [00:17] mahngiel: can you just verify the package is installed? [00:17] sure, give me one sec [00:17] coz_, thanks so far, I'll notify you if I have found the problem [00:17] cheoni, ok, is the install_flash_player_10_linux.deb one of the files? [00:17] a1887, I would be interested to kn ow [00:17] :) [00:18] mahngiel: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 [00:18] halitech: Yes. [00:18] a1887, what I did to work around the low end power supplies that come with externals is to wire another computer power supply to run without the motherboard and use that to power the external drives [00:18] i think there's an issue with the disks [00:19] cheoni, great, now type in sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb ... it should ask for your password, type that in and hit ente [00:19] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334851/ [00:19] Does anyone know of good command-line music library management software? Other than mv, mkdir, etc. [00:19] mahngiel: great, have you ejected the cd since you installed? [00:19] coz_, which external drives have you tried so far? [00:19] cheoni, if you want, you can just type inst and hit tab and it should auto-complete [00:19] mahngiel: rather, eject the cd please and insert it again [00:19] a1887, you mean name brands? [00:19] coz_, I've got a maxtor drive [00:19] coz_, yes [00:20] how to disable write protected pendrive [00:20] a1887, I have a maxtor drives here [00:20] jrib: and rebooted [00:20] Is there a way to define the monitor and location where an applicaiton will load? [00:20] coz_, so you had that power suply problem on that maxtor drive? [00:20] coolcat, you mean where on the desktop the applications opens? [00:20] jrib: done. still not mounted [00:20] mahngiel: k, what exactly happens when you eject and insert it now? If nothing noticeable, pastebin dmesg after you reinsert the disk [00:20] a1887, with external power supplies absolutely [00:21] mahngiel: also, do other disks work? [00:21] coz_, Yeah I have dual monitors is it possible to specify which monitor from the terminal and the size [00:21] jrib: my dmesg is too large [00:21] coz_, ? [00:21] halitech: The common errors that popped up were "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceape-flashplugin." and "postinst called with argument `abort-upgrade'". === Random832_ is now known as Random832 [00:21] a1887, I have only one maxtor left with its power supply it was sold with that works and I rarely plug that in [00:21] mahngiel: just pastebin [00:21] coolcat, sorry [00:21] jrib: everything but dvd movies [00:21] coop6, with compiz it is yes [00:22] cheoni, can you use pastebin to show all of the errors === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [00:22] i have finally gotten rid of windows completely [00:22] coz_, thanks [00:22] its a dual boot of Debian, and Ubuntu :D [00:22] nice [00:22] coop6, if you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed open that and go to the Window management category and the Place windows plugin [00:23] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334853/ [00:24] coz_, ok, so you had a power suply problem with a max transformator? or did you only had the problem with "cheap" transformators? [00:24] coop6, ` which video card do you have? === DepthSort` is now known as DepthSort [00:24] mahngiel: see those errors popping up at the bottom? Does the drive work ok on any other OS if you have one installed? [00:24] coz_, *maxtor transformator [00:24] halitech: http://imagebin.org/74133 [00:24] a1887, every external drive I have that came with it's own power supply has gone bad but for one [00:24] coz_, gefroce 8600 gt [00:25] jrib: yes, i seen all of those errors as well. and everything works under M$, and the cdrom drive works with data DVDs and burning DVDs [00:25] coop6, ok then you can also use ccsm to open a window according to where you cursor pointer is let me find that setting [00:25] i have a question that has been bothering me a lot. why is it that whenever i run my debian 9.04 livecd (or 8.10) the graphics are laggy and transparent, and i have to change it so instead of the appearance being "improved usability and good graphics" to "none" [00:25] coz_, sure thank you [00:26] coz_, hm... strange, but ok, maybe this is my problem too [00:26] hi all [00:26] TV, without Efika connected says "check signal cable" after the efika is hooked up, but not on, it says "no signal" after the efika is on, it says "searching for signal" and stays there. :/ What I exptected..well..some sort of video. [00:26] cheoni, do you have iceape-flashplugin installed? [00:26] coop6, again under the Place windows plugin...the "Multi Output Mode" pull down try "Use output device with pointer" [00:26] a1887, it could be and it would be the first thing i would check to troubleshoot this [00:26] mahngiel: you're going to have to google for other causes for those errors I suppose. Only I know is bad hardware (which you ruled out) [00:26] halitech: Not that I know of. I don't recall installing it....unless it was apart of the last update. [00:26] ckhikuzad, debian doesn't have a version 8 or 9, do you mean Ubuntu? [00:27] jrib: aight, thx [00:27] cheoni, ok, try this, sudo apt-get remove iceape-flashplugin [00:27] coop6, with that setting...whichever monitor your cursor is on ...is where the application will open [00:27] gah [00:27] sorry [00:27] im used to Debian only [00:27] yes i meant ubuntu [00:27] ckhikuzad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] ckhikuzad, no worries, so am I [00:28] <_ba> can someone direct me in the right direction is there an easy way to setup a mail relay for either gmail or comcast? [00:28] halitech: And we are back to the original problem. It is telling me that it needs to me reinstalled but it can not find an archive for it. [00:28] Can each workspace have its own theme? i want two work spaces, with two differnte themes one Mac OSX-ish, the other Win 7-ish) ? POSSIBLE?? [00:28] also my Graphics card (from 1999 so bear with me) is 24 bit, so is that possibly the reason the graphics are odd? [00:28] coz_, ok, do you know, why this happens? voltage jitter in the elecricity network? [00:28] darthanubis, so how can i change my ubuntu Gnome to KDE without reinstalling? [00:29] cheoni, ok, try sudo apt-get install iceape-flashplugin && sudo apt-get remove iceape-flashplugin [00:29] VirusTB: doubtful that you can have different themes on different workspaces [00:29] VirusTB, you don't touch the Gnome part just install KDE4 [00:29] VirusTB, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:29] a1887, I believe the external's power supplies are cheaply made... a constant "on" will eventually burn them out...however. I have not looked into this much simply because I need to keep moving so I discarded the origianl external power supples with a regular computer power supply [00:29] !kde > VirusTB (VirusTB, see the private message from ubottu) [00:30] how to disable write protection i n the pendrive] [00:30] just like Halitech says [00:30] darth so what the differenc e between gnome abd KDe ? [00:30] VirusTB, then logout and log back in with the KDE session [00:30] (i never liked Kubuntu, it always failed on the install, but the apt-get way of making KDE work... well made KDE work) [00:30] hello, whats the best way to install ubuntu for perfomance? server and then add DE and apps? [00:30] VirusTB, read about that on the web [00:30] VirusTB, kde is more "windows" like and also more resource intensive than gnome [00:30] There's a zombie firefox process I just can't seem to kill. pkill -9 [PID] and killall -9 firefox doesn't do the trick. Should I just ignore it? [00:30] halitech: It reads the same message about needing to reinstall and not being able to find an archive. [00:30] what's the fastest filesystem for burst IO? [00:30] Classic, alternate install disk, not server [00:30] VirusTB, kde is much "prettier" at the expense of reources at least at this point [00:30] runenes, try killall firefox [00:31] VirusTB, I dont believe === ckhikuzad is now known as CkhiKuzad [00:31] cheoni, ok, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:31] VirusTB, i dont believe kde as as stable as gnome but that may be my own opinion [00:31] darthanubis, ah... just i went to the ubuntu site, and didnt see alternate cd any more, and got confused [00:31] * CkhiKuzad 's name looks better capitalized [00:31] Is there a command line function to get the mime type of a file? [00:31] Classic, it is there I assure you [00:31] coz_, oh so i'll keep Gnome, i got ubunto installed on a crappy laptop with 1Gb ram, 128 graphics card [00:31] VirusTB, KDE4 is just fine [00:31] Classic, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [00:32] Classic: http://www1.us.kernel.org/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/karmic/ [00:32] CkhiKuzad: I've tried killall firefox, no go. It kills normal running firefox-processes, but not this ghost [00:32] Trying to debug my webcam. It stops working after hibernate / resume. Any suggestions? [00:32] VirusTB, KDE will run just as fast as Gnome [00:32] VirusTB, well that may just work ok but as I said I find kde far too resource intensive compared to gnome,,,again this depends on system specs etc [00:32] halitech: it reads the reinstall and archive again. [00:32] runenes: i got that all the time on my debian distro, in my case i had to log out, and if it didnt work, even reboot [00:32] darthanubis, Halitech, centHOGG, thanks guys, just didnt clue in to press text based:) [00:33] greg_quadBox, I love my quad too ;) [00:33] Oli``: depending on what you need it for, `file` might be useful. [00:33] darthanubis, so i can uninstall KDE4anytime and get back my originel Gnome right/.? [00:33] rww: yeah `file -i` will work [00:33] VirusTB, listen, iinstalling KDE does NOT remove Gnome [00:33] cheoni, ok, ran into this once before, don't remember the exact fix but it was complicated and had to edit some file to do with apt I think [00:33] dart installing now :P darthanubis [00:33] jrib: after reboot http://paste.ubuntu.com/334858/ [00:33] Oli``: ah, shiny. Didn't know about that switch :) [00:34] VirusTB, you'll like I think [00:34] halitech: .....crap. So, would I be better off just reformatting and reinstalling ubuntu? [00:34] and to install gnome on top of that is gnome-core gnome-extra? [00:34] cheoni: no [00:34] CkhiKuzad: K, thanx. I'll search around the web a bit to see if I can't find an explanation. Not really a problem though [00:34] VirusTB, you can also try XFCE, its lighter sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [00:34] VirusTB, there is no harm in giving kde a try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop you can always remove it :) [00:35] jrib: So what do you recommend? [00:35] cheoni, no, but I suggest looking in the forum unless jrib has an idea [00:35] Halitech, cheoni: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/*flash*.prerm and /var/lib/dpkg/info/*flash*.postinst where you can take "*flash*" to mean the name of your package [00:35] VirusTB, what Halitech said, try XFCE [00:35] runenes, sorry i couldnt really 'help' but googling it is the best idea [00:35] cheoni: and please use http://paste.ubuntu.com not some image pastebin === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [00:36] by the way, anyone who can help. is there an ubuntu off topic channel? [00:36] VirusTB, yes xfce is fine als a lesser DE would be lxde [00:36] omg [00:36] Fizix, Halitech coz_ darthanubis : Ill try KDE for a day and then illl try XFCE for a day, and see what's best for me :P [00:36] CkhiKuzad, yes [00:36] icewm is pretty thin too [00:36] VirusTB, give lxde a try also :) [00:36] fluxbox [00:36] firefox reports every domain I visit to https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/newkey ?? [00:36] VirusTB: Good idea, that's what I did too.. severla times... before I settled with gnome. [00:36] why is browser.safebrowsing.enabled set to true by default? this is huge privacy issue [00:37] darthanubis: i suppose i should have checked before asking [00:37] I up graded to 9.10 and my DVD/cd rw stoped working , It wont mount manualy any other people had the same problem ? [00:37] jrib: okay, you need to talk to me like I am a complete idiot. What exactly is it that you are wanting me to do? [00:37] greg_quadBox, external drive? [00:37] greg_quadBox: that's exactly what i'm going through right now [00:37] greg_quadBox, have you rebooted since the upgrade? [00:37] cheoni: « sudo apt-get install pastebinit » [00:37] hello, 1-what is a good key combination to use instead of super key in Gnome Desktop Environment (there is no ms button on my keyboard) 2-Is there a way to do this change for the whole system at once [00:37] it's a internel drive [00:37] cheoni: are you able to do that? [00:38] MrKeuner: 2: xmodmap [00:38] Hi hi [00:39] jrib, are you still there? [00:39] R1_: aye [00:39] whenever I turn on twinview for my secondary monitor, my two panels from my primary monitor switch over to my secondary one [00:39] jrib, i can confirm it's only with my current user that the panels freeze [00:39] I have the secondary set up to be "To the right" of my primary [00:39] and I've even checked to select my laptop monitor to be the primary [00:40] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334861/ [00:40] R1_: k, hunt begins for why :) It's up to you whether you care enough to start disabling things to find out the culprit or just start over with a new user and copy over your data [00:40] btw I'm using Nvidia X Server Settings [00:40] Is there a way to set up my login, so i can access it remotely (a remote desktop) while i am not at my computer, and my computer might not even be on [00:40] I have some experience with Linux, but none working with Linux-to-OSX samba configs. I am trying to get file sharing to work with OSX, can someone help me? [00:40] jrib, I'm thinking of just re-installing ubuntu altogether... this problem is annoying me. [00:40] mcnellis, you don't need to run twinview at all. [00:40] cheoni: come on, at least copy and paste correctly when I give you a command. You forgot "pastebinit" [00:40] is this bad?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/334862/ [00:40] yes i've rebooted daily for about two weeks , i just today had occasion to use the drive so i didn't notice it till today. the BIOS sees it , just wont mount , tried the mount command from a consol and get [00:40] jrib, do you mean change every users xmodmap configuration file separately?

You suggesting separate x servers for both monitors? [00:41] jrib, cheoni what about doing sudo apt-get install -f ?? think it will do any good? [00:42] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334864/ [00:42] I think you have to tell it to share a folder via Samba; I don't think it defaults to that. OS X that is [00:42] i shall repeat my last question [00:42] Is there a way to set up my login, so i can access it remotely (a remote desktop) while i am not at my computer, and my computer might not even be on [00:42] Halitech: cheoni will have to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/*flash*.{prerm,postinst} so that it exits successfully because they try to do something stupid with update-alternatives [00:42] is this bad?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/334862/ [00:42] Fizix: yeah, I have it set to that. I can access my ubuntu box from OSX, but I can't access OSX from ubuntu [00:43] McNellis: I simply plug both monitors into the same card and you the display configuarations to control it from there [00:43] Fizix: I keep getting a permission denied error [00:43] My openchrome display driver is so unstable. The whole system just hangs when I try to run a game (like B.S.U). I'm now running ubuntu in low-graphics mode(disabled 3-D from xorg.conf). I'm able to games now, system doesn't hang up anymore. But I get crappy frame rates. Any dea how to fix this with the openchrome driver? [00:43] How long does it usually take to run e2fsck on 100G ext2 ? [00:43] Fizix: so it must be something with the password encryption I assume... [00:43] jrib, ok, that sounds like the files I had to edit when I had the same problem awhile back [00:43] jrib: So, should I type that in as a command in the terminal? [00:43] Watr: Does OS X, like Windows, depend on it being on the same workgroup in order to see it? [00:44] no [00:44] cheoni: great. open /var/lib/dpkg/info/*flash*.prerm and /var/lib/dpkg/info/*flash*.postinst (where you replace "*flash*" with the name of your .deb without the ".deb" part) in your text editor, gedit. Then visit http://paste.ubuntu.com in a browser, copy what you see in the files and paste it there. Submit, tell us url [00:44] Fizix: no [00:44] My openchrome display driver is so unstable. The whole system just hangs when I try to run a game (like B.S.U). I'm now running ubuntu in low-graphics mode(disabled 3-D from xorg.conf). I'm able to launch games now, system doesn't hang up anymore. But I get crappy frame rates. Any idea how to fix this with the openchrome driver? [00:44] !patience | Lonesword [00:44] Lonesword: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:44] Fizix: OSX recognizes and lists my laptop as an available share as long as ubuntu is set up for samba sharing and smbfs is installed [00:45] Halitech: Ok. Sorry for that. [00:45] Halitech,jrib: Sorry if I am coming of as majorly incompetent. I have been fighting with this all day. [00:45] Fizix: So you can connect to OSX from ubuntu? What steps did you take to get it working? [00:45] cheoni: sorry if I seem confusing, it's not my intent :) [00:45] cheoni: by the way, this isn't your fault, it's adobe's [00:46] Lonesword, honestly, if it was me and this wasn't a laptop, I'd buy an Nvidia card and stop using the SiS card, they suck when it comes to support in Linux [00:46] watr: It's been a few months now and a lot of it was trial and error; I'm afraid to say I don't remember exactly what did it :/ [00:46] Fizix: can you post your smb.conf so I can take a look? [00:47] ok this kind of seems like a very dumb question, but does anyone know if Adobe is making a shockwave player for ubuntu? [00:47] ok, i got a different DVD to open up finally... [00:47] * mahngiel sighs [00:47] mahngiel: what did you do differently? [00:47] After hibernate / resume my webcam doesn't work. /dev/video0 still exists, but I get "init v4l2 failed" from luvcview [00:47] jrib: I do not think that I am understanding how you want me to apply those codes. Terminal does not recognise the command. [00:47] CkhiKuzad: i was just on Adobe's website, they make alot of things for *unix systems [00:48] jrib: it could also be that I am putting it in wrong. [00:48] mahngiel but apparently not shockwave? [00:48] jrib: i didn't do anything differently. just grabbed one of the kids' dvds [00:48] cheoni: those are paths to files that you need to open in your text editor [00:48] cheoni: if you prefer a command, put: gedit /var/blah/blah/blah [00:48] Halitech: I've tried doing that. I bought an Nvidia 8400 GS. And installed all those gmaes in windows. I was able to paly for a few minutes before the graphics went crappy (u know, rainbow colors!) and then the system finally hanged. When I asked the computer guys, they said there might be a problem with the slot. I took an Nvidia 7300 and tried it too.......same results......so finally all I have left is my good-old on board graphics. [00:48] jrib: did you see my last pastebin though? it said that sr0 was an 'unknown device' [00:49] jrib: could that be encoding on the dvd? [00:49] mahngiel: try deleting ~/.dvdcss [00:49] mahngiel: possibly [00:49] erm... what does this do ?... "> /dev/null 2>&1" ... I know the first ">" sends the output to whatever comes next, but have no idea what the rest is [00:49] mahngiel: laready tried vlc? that plays about anything [00:49] WinterWeaver: 2>&1 sends stderr to stdout [00:49] WinterWeaver: it sends error output too [00:49] jrib: no such dr [00:49] Halitech: Never mind then. The documentation itself says that "Openchrome drivers are unstable in some systems". Maybe wait till they release a stable one? Thanx for your support. [00:49] WinterWeaver: So you get both regular output and error output sent to /dev/null [00:49] jeiworth: werd, and it does the same thing, finds no dvd [00:50] jrib, does xmodmap do the keymapping change for the consoles, too? [00:50] WinterWeaver: Means you don't see any error messages [00:50] mahngiel: weird [00:50] mahngiel: also, medibuntu-repos already installed, and of course libdvdcss2? [00:50] i don't know why blue's clues (r) [lol] will mount, but this other movie won't [00:50] MrKeuner: no [00:50] jrib: this is what I got. http://paste.ubuntu.com/334868/ [00:50] chmac, rww, ok thx... so what is /dev/null ... is it like a Null in coding? ie... nothing? O.o [00:50] cheoni: good do the same for the postinst [00:51] i mean, at the very least, i should be able to view the files on it [00:51] WinterWeaver: You can copy from it or send to it. It outputs 0s and dumps whatever you send to it [00:51] WinterWeaver: it's a black hole. if you send stuff there, it disappears [00:51] WinterWeaver: The command you send means "send all output and error output to /dev/null", /dev/null is effectively trash === diego is now known as Guest40334 [00:51] aha [00:51] ok thx guys (rww, chmac) [00:52] watr: File is pending to be sent you you; waiting on your authorization. Also, I'm pretty sure it was my buddy on the OS X side that had to change things around [00:52] hey everyone [00:52] jeiworth: ya mate, it's all installed [00:52] cheoni: hurry, dollhouse is about to start [00:52] liza, hello :) [00:52] must just be a bad disk?? [00:52] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334869/ [00:52] mahngiel: ok, well, if it plays in your normal dvd i suppose it's some region code garbage that's messing uo [00:52] up [00:52] mahngiel: but it works in MS [00:52] guess i'll ahve to fight the kids over the TV lmao [00:52] jrib: Dollhouse is on today? :D [00:52] rww: think so [00:53] gotta run [00:53] jeiworth: take care [00:53] cheoni: good. close your current gedits. Then reopen the files put prefix your command with "gksudo". For example, gksudo gedit /var/blah [00:54] hello..{} [00:54] name Std [00:55] jrib: i dread having to swap over to MS :) [00:55] hi excuse me [00:55] mahngiel: agreed [00:55] glick: hi, you're excused [00:55] does anyone kow how to get sound input working in recordmydesktop? [00:55] my mic workd [00:55] cheoni: ready? [00:56] works i tested it in sound prefd [00:56] sudo reboot [00:56] prefs [00:56] lol, whoops. lol [00:56] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334872/ [00:57] cheoni: no need to pastebin (it's the same file, but now you have rights to edit them). So let's edit them. On the line that begins with "VARIANTS", delete the word "iceape" in both files. Then try the dpkg -i command again from before and pastebin the result [00:59] How do I identify a usb device? [00:59] anyone? [00:59] chmac, lsusb [01:00] jrib: dpkg -i command? type it in the terminal as dpkg -i? [01:00] know how to get sound input working from record my desktop? [01:00] cheoni: I mean the dpkg -i that Halitech had you do before [01:00] cheoni, if you still have the same terminal window open, hit the up arrow until you see the command [01:00] cheoni: remember? cd ~/Desktop; sudo dpkg -i whatever_the_name_of_this_thing_is.deb ? [01:01] cheoni: make sure you save your changes first of course [01:01] how do i uninstall "movie player" [01:01] how do i uninstall "movie player" , im 100% happy with VLC..... [01:01] What's the most commonly used IRC program in Karmic? I've just upgraded and I want to give the native apps a try: Evolution instead of Thunderbird, Empathy instead of Pidgin, and so on. [01:01] hey everybody [01:01] I realize this isn't exactly the correct place to ask this, but does anyone know why the DVD structure I make is twice the size of the original mpeg files? Each .vob is 2x the video file. Just seemed odd to me. [01:02] why is there ~1GB ram in use while opera only takes 344MB and the other 10 apps < 10 MB !? [01:02] how can I free that memory? [01:02] VirusTB: u can use the ubuntu software center [01:02] what is running a host as a daemon mean [01:03] VirusTB, which version of Ubuntu? In Jaunty, it's Add/Remove Software. In Karmic, it's Ubuntu Software Centre [01:03] VirusTB, be careful, removing movie player may remove dependencies that *might* break other software [01:03] (And I notice they call it "Center", which spelling nobody on earth uses except that country just north of Mexico. I wonder if I can change that by selecting a different language... [01:04] Halitech, if it does, the package management system is broken. In practice, that shouldn't happen. [01:04] can't play online videos or hear music.....the browser keeps on saying that adobe flash player is missing...and the automatic installation fails...I've already installed the thing manually a hundred times. Now what should I do? [01:04] damn what do i need to get sound workinf in recordmydesktop [01:04] etfb: Yes, lots of us developers objected to the "Center" spelling, but to no avail. [01:04] Lonesword, short answer: Medibuntu. Long answer coming... [01:04] Lonesword: Have you restarted your browser? [01:04] coz_, after a few more reserches i think the shutdown problem has something to do with usb autosuspend (/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend) [01:04] etfb, in theory you are right but in practice.... [01:04] wgrant: Yes. I've been after this for days.... [01:05] Lonesword, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [01:05] a1887, mm that is interesting.... I know it was not my issue but I will look into this thanks and you are positive it is not the power supply? [01:05] evening. I need help configuring Firestarter for internet connection sharing to my Xbox 360. Had it working on my old computer. I get the error message "The device eth0 is not ready" [01:06] a1887, what is it you have in that file now? [01:06] Lonesword, go there, set up the extra repository by following the instructions, then install Ubuntu Restricted (search in the Software "Center" for 'restricted') and you'll get everything you need. [01:06] coz_, don't know yet [01:06] coz_, -1 [01:06] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334877/ [01:06] a1887, mine is apparenlty set to 2 [01:06] Jrib: Both of them in order. [01:07] coz_, was mine too [01:07] cheoni, you need to cd Desktop first [01:07] cheoni: remember? cd ~/Desktop; sudo dpkg -i whatever_the_name_of_this_thing_is.deb ? [01:07] coz_, there I found the hint: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-797789.html [01:07] Is there an IRC client that separates out the messages ("AdolfH has quit (connection reset by peer)") from the actual chat? [01:07] jrib: now I do [01:08] a1887, mm very interesting....

Can do that easily in Kvirc, for example. [01:10] etfb, right click channel name [01:10] fosco_Eee: Thanks. Got it. :-) [01:10] coz_, thx [01:10] jrib: After "Variants= " I delete iceape, right?

By the way, I found something. am I supposed to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [01:12] geee2, Give more info about your problem. "I can't log in" could be anything. Forgotten password, Microsoft server failure, zombie llamas, etc. [01:12] Lonesword, yes, that's it. [01:12] geee2: pidgin, empathy... these are all clients that will let you access your MSN Live account [01:13] etfb: Ok. Thanks.

From the menu or command line/alt-f2. If command line or alt-f2 you'd need to use gksu synaptic. not just synaptic. [01:18] from the menu [01:18] coz_ since you're compiling it, I guess it's only available as source? Do you need any other kind of dependancies, for instance 32-bit libraries if you're running a 64-bit os? [01:19] etfb: Oh thanks. You've been a great help. Thank you very much.

I have a dualboot laptop with ubuntu 9.10 and windows 7 and I can access the windows partition but only after I enter my password. is there any way to automate it so I dont have to eneter my password? I cant seem to google it [01:36] Fizix: randomly [01:36] glick: it could cause some trouble though, depending on the firefox or java version.. you could also download it from the site.. give it a try [01:37] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334892/ Like that? [01:37] _schism_, I know there is a way as that's how it works on KDE, but I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head. I'm sure someone here knows though! (hopefiully! [01:37] does ubuntu automatically load ~/.Xmodmap? [01:38] does anyone know how to install simdock [01:38] <_schism_> fizix: is it a linux thing or a kde/gnome thing do you think? [01:38] jrib: Holy Crap. I think it worked. [01:38] kbglku, hmm, that's odd as I have a netbook with an onboard intel graphics chipset and it runs fine. I hate to cop out and simply say, "did you try an update?" [01:39] _schism:yeah there is a way, i googled that two days ago nd was okay [01:39] Fizix: im not sure if its an issue with video since i cant exen switch to a non x terminal when it happens [01:39] _schism_, it more specifically may be a Nautilus thing, the GUI for your file browsing. try another one, like the one KDE uses. [01:40] jrib: I spoke too soon. [01:40] anyone here good with jack audio? [01:41] cheoni: why? What's your dpkg -i output? [01:41] <_schism_> fizix: hmm I will try and google it around some then.

[02:43] justd, -exec is the command to execute on any found files [02:43] i guess they have too muth +++ feedback to suck [02:43] Is there anybody who can help me? I need a program to add (embed) subtitles into a video file, in order to toggle on and off the subtitles on my dvd player [02:43] phil__: yep [02:43] could anyone help me? [02:43] Franco_79, [02:43] @krogan extract the files from the tarball, open up terminal, 'cd' to the directory that the extracted files are located, and the type sudo make, sudo make install [02:43] i believe anyway. [02:43] skinnYPuP, he says he got like 20 more networks than he used to and the ones he used to go on work much better so he's happy customer for $50 [02:43] justd, {} stands for any files found, and \; is just a matter of syntax you always have to add it to -exec otherwise it wont work [02:43] phil__: youd go in #ubuntu+1 once you're on lucid [02:43] yes, Black_Phantomo, i'm listening [02:43] Franco_79, you can use AVIAddXSub, run it on Wine it works 100% [02:43] when I try to install a package it says it cannot be authenticated. how to I fix that? [02:44] sweet -- *) [02:44] Nah maco, %s does nothing. [02:44] oh! good!! I used it on W, but I didn't thought it could work on Wine!! Thanks!!!! [02:44] :) [02:44] usser: justd, /home is the location where to look for file [02:44] usser: justd, -name is the name of the file to look for [02:44] usser: justd, -exec is the command to execute on any found files [02:44] usser: justd, {} stands for any files found, and \; is just a matter of syntax you always have to add it to -exec otherwise it wont work [02:44] justd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:45] usser: verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry usefull .. thanks a lot ^^ [02:45] how do I install the latest linux kernel using apt ? [02:45] maco: can't program but hope to help out somehow... can compile and test tho [02:45] justd, no problem [02:45] Black_Phantom, it installls the latest in update-manager? why bother with apt? [02:45] phil__: you can check to see whether bugs are resolved, try to confirm them, etc. test patches... [02:45] ;-) I'm going to see House now! very appreciated... [02:46] Black_Phantom, sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade should keep ya covered [02:46] rootlinuxusr: so .. if i want to find out about "find" command .. what do i type in terminal exactly ?? ? [02:46] Black_Phantom: The very latest in existence .32 probably isn't in the repos. "sudo apt-get upgrade" will update all of the software on your system to the newest software available in the repos. [02:46] man find [02:46] brayden13, I messed up with something i guess, after installing 2.6.31-16 I ran sudo aptitude remove, and i think it removed it lol, after i rebooted it couldnt boot -16 [02:46] maco: cool, better than my usual computing habits : ) [02:46] brayden13: (the update-manager is just a front end for apt ;) ) [02:47] I know edbian [02:47] When I try to install a package I keep getting "cannot be authenticated" [02:47] so I want to install 2.6.31-16 again [02:47] my neighborhood should see a slight increase in network efficiency now === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:47] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 - atheros card, any ideas? [02:48] err.. what was the command to upgrade to new version? [02:48] just tell me what do I need else other than the linux kernel headers [02:48] !upgrade > dragon [02:48] dragon, please see my private message [02:48] hello all...I'm running 9.10 and I think my GRUB is using the wrong menu file [02:49] grub2 doesn't use menu.lst anymore afaik [02:49] When I try to install a package I keep getting "cannot be authenticated" [02:49] egertonxx: go to settings in the software manager then edit sources check all repos that apply then reload and try again [02:49] how do I play midi files? [02:49] chu_: umm what about %U? [02:49] I thought I had read that...but my menu is definately incorrect and it mirrors what I see in menu.lst [02:49] rootlinuxusr: MAAAAN !!!! .......... :( ......... 1547 lines for a "Find" command :(( [02:50] egertonxx: I'm looking up that issue right now. I have the same problem with some particular packages. [02:50] egertonxx: either you added a PPA and didnt grab its key, or you need to run "sudo apt-get update" most likely [02:50] justd, find is quite powerful actually;) [02:50] when I do grub --version from within Ubuntu, it reports 0.97 [02:51] man sex ? [02:51] cn28h, it sure is [02:51] egertonxx: you may want to look at this page you may need this repo also which isnt included with ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [02:51] JoeShmo, might be left over if you did an upgrade .. what does grub-setup --version show? [02:52] ok I will try and get back to you [02:52] cn28h: "The program 'grub-setup' is currently not installed" [02:53] ok ok .. i have another problem ,, actully i've tried this 3 times now .. 3 fresh installs for ubuntu .. when ever i use "update manager" ,, i lose the sound in my system .. i mean i have no sound at all .. the "front left, front right" test works .. but no music no videos sounds .. nothing .. can i update with keeping my sound card functioning .. or back it up somehow ? ? ? [02:53] cn28h, this is a fresh install [02:53] of 9.10? [02:53] yep [02:53] odd [02:53] Does connecting via SSH not run the full GUI interface? [02:53] agreed [02:54] Fizix: By default it give you a terminal only. You can X-forward though! :) [02:54] why would you be able to browse through a directory, but not through terminal? [02:55] rootlinuxusr: why i can't use "man cd" to find out what cd is ? [02:55] like "cd.." [02:55] because there isn't a man page for cd. [02:55] http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=man+cd&aq=f&aqi=g10&oq=&fp=be5ffa94030d2d34 [02:55] justd: IDK why there isn't a man page. cd stands for "change directory" [02:55] err... http://ss64.com/bash/cd.html [02:55] there's a man page for cd though. [02:56] so who do i use it ? ? [02:56] edbian: is x-forwarding done on the host side or client side? [02:56] how .. where ? [02:56] justd: shell built-ins will be in the shell's manpage. you can do man bash [02:56] maco: oooh .. ok thanks [02:56] justd: cd /path/to/dir [02:56] Fizix: X-forwarding means that the applications are ran on the server (they are the server apps only) but the graphics are sent over the network to the client. You can see them on the client but they are actually on the server. [02:56] could try vnc? [02:57] cn28h, I believe though that when I see my GRUB screen at boot it says 1.97 beta [02:57] yeah, that's what grub reports for me within ubuntu [02:57] on my also 9.10 fresh install haha [02:57] Fizix: You can ssh into an ssh server from a client and if you give it the -x flag than any graphical program you run appears on the client screen instead of the server. [02:57] edbian: Ahh, ok. Thank you very much! [02:57] Fizix: VNC is essentially the same thing but it sends the entire desktop (which is a lot of network traffic and is less secure) [02:57] I had a problem with my mouse and my laptop's trackpad - when the mouse was connected mouse clicks from both didn't register properly. I asked about it a few times but nobody here could help me. Well, I figured out what the problem was, and came back so I could mention it: It's buggy Compiz! Disabling compiz fixed it. [02:58] maco: hmmm .... ok ...... bash is over 5000 Lines .. can i search inside that somehow .. to reach "cd" quicker ? [02:58] Fizix: NP! :) I love ssh and X-forwarding I do it all the time here at school. [02:58] edbian: Yea, I'm using VNC now [02:58] JoeShmo: cn28h Thats because grub2 is still in beta. everything from 1.9 on is grub2 [02:58] justd: /searchterm [02:58] ok [02:58] justd: / searches within any pager (i think man uses less, but theres also more and most) or vi [02:58] hey something weird happened to my audio it will stop working then when I change the master volume it'll work for a couple secs then stop working again [02:58] maco: How do you "find next" after you've / ?? [02:58] edbian: n [02:58] maco: Thanks! :D [02:59] Jamed, did you catch my inital question? [02:59] Jamed, yeah [02:59] edbian: N is find previous in vi(m) but im not sure if that works in pagers [02:59] Jamed, just like 0.97 is grub1 [02:59] I just installed 9.10 amd64 through Wubi and it won't recognize either my Intel wireless or Broadcom (iirc?) ethernet [02:59] JoeShmo: no, what was it [02:59] maco: It works you're right [02:59] so I can't connect to the internet at all [02:59] what should I do? [02:59] my grub seems to be using the wrong menu file [03:00] Dark_Shikari: Yet you can talk to us... [03:00] edbian: second laptop [03:00] running windows [03:00] Dark_Shikari: PM me! :) [03:00] JoeShmo: there is no more menu.lst its grub.cfg now [03:00] edbian: Could x-forwarding be used to send the entire desktop, like VNC? I know Microsoft's RDP send the entire desktop and comes with its own encryption... one of just a handful of things M$ actually seemed to do right. [03:00] Dark_Shikari: umm....give the computer an exorcism because both those drivers (or at the very least intel wireless) are included by default? [03:00] I'm in much the same boat as dark_shikari. [03:00] maco: it's a brand new laptop, so it might not be the same... [03:00] can anyone help me? [03:00] right....my menu.lst file is what I see shen I boot [03:00] Fizix: Yes, simply run "nautilus" and the background shows up. "gnome-panel" and then you pretty much have everything. [03:01] how would I troubleshoot/diagnose/etc? [03:01] Dark_Shikari: which intel is it? 4965? [03:01] JoeShmo: oh thats strange [03:01] Don't recall, I can boot back into windows to check [03:01] hmm, let me do that. [03:01] Fizix, VNC or NX might be better suited for that, though .. x-forwarding your whole desktop will use a lot of bandwidth [03:01] agreed [03:01] Fizix: That is true. [03:01] I installed the netbook remix on my netbook. When in windows mode, I can connect to the house wireless. From ubuntu, it sees the router, but times out and keeps asking me for the security code. [03:01] edbian: Much obliged! You're a wealth of knowledge. [03:01] Dark_Shikari: why windows? [03:01] JoeShmo: grub2 shouldnt be able to read that since they changed the syntax [03:01] Dark_Shikari: just run "lspci" in a terminal to get a listing [03:01] Fizix: Thanks! :) I don't know everything though (not yet anyway...) [03:02] maco: if ubuntu recognized the hardware, I wouldn't be asking for help... [03:02] cn28h: Yea I went to nomachine.org to try the NX server & client, but I don't know how to set up the NX server on the host side :/ [03:02] Dark_Shikari: they dont even show in lspci?? [03:02] plus, I don't trust it given that clearly the drivers aren't working [03:02] so, it could be misdetecting [03:02] Dark_Shikari: Does the bios recognize the hardware? [03:02] edbian: works fine in windows, so I would suspect yes [03:02] Hi, my Ubuntu 9.04 system just became completely unresponsive and the caps lock and scroll lock lights on the keyboard are blinking, I´m not sure what´s going on there... is anyone able to help, please? [03:02] maco: I'll try your command after I reboot [03:02] MadDog: kernel panic [03:02] PISS!!!! [03:02] MadDog: equivalent to a blue screen of death [03:02] MadDog: Sounds like a kernel panic.

[03:05] justd: ls [03:05] justd: "ls" to view the files [03:05] SHumphrey: file a bug?

Bugs never even get fixed ever [03:06] Dark_Shikari: does it find wireless drivers loaded? [03:06] justd: Are you kidding? cd stands for "change directory" [03:06] do yourself a favor and forget about flash ;) [03:06] the ".." [03:06] justd: you mean "cd .."? that brings you one directory up [03:06] maco: the interface for network connection shows a wired and wireless one [03:06] TheCash try Administration | Restricted Drivers, see if there's one for your video card that will work better than the standard one [03:06] z [03:06] so I would guess they are both loaded [03:06] Jamed: thanks man ^^ [03:06] Jamed, i misspoke....what I see in my menu.lst is what I see at boot time....this is what is being modified by system updates [03:06] SHumphrey: bugs do get fixed, though audio is a bit understaffed. im sure my roommate will get to it eventually, unless your bug report is as rude as you're being right now [03:06] I just started using ubuntu today but I can't get the screen resolution to work at 1280x1024( the highest I can set it is 1024x768 [03:06] but I can't connect to the wireless net (which I'm using right now from the windows box) [03:07] and the wired connection doesn't work either.

[03:09] Jamed, no sorry....Im not explaining well....let me try again [03:09] Dark_Shikari: ok then network manager is being stupid. have a look at "man 5 interfaces" and just use /etc/network/interfaces to configure your network [03:09] they destroyed the login screen and login screen preferences, messed up gnometris (clutter) and flash [03:09] maco: But I still can't access the internet [03:09] "ping google.com" does nothing [03:09] SHumphrey: no, upstream gnome changed the login screen. ubuntu had nothing to do with that [03:09] Dark_Shikari: oh. hrmmmm "route -n" give sensible routing output? [03:09] Dark_Shikari: Do you have DNS servers? [03:10] Yes [03:10] But if you want, I can force google's DNS... if I knew how to apply it [03:10] Dark_Shikari: Can you ping your gateway? Can you bing loopback? [03:10] 8.8.8.8 that is [03:10] Of course, I can't ping 8.8.8.8 either [03:10] so I doubt it's a DNS either [03:10] SHumphrey, how did Flash mess up?

On the topic of using screen..I'm using strace in a 'screen' session, though I want to 'tail' the output of a long running strace'd process, though I don't want the strace.out file (-o option) to fill a disk. Any clues? [03:13] (flash cs4 action script 3) I got 12 buttons on a stage and they overlap on over! Please somebody tell me the script to correct this! [03:13] maco: thnx [03:13] Jamed, I see....so what is the preferred methd of editing grub.cfg? I always just used vi for my menu.lst [03:13] I usermod'ed a user to add the www-data group to their groups, when I login as that user, I see membership to that group, but when that user runs a script, and I have it put the contents of `id` in a file, i don't see the group [03:13] Anybody know of any IRC channels where I'd find mildly advanced gtkrc theming help? [03:13] maco: ? [03:14] JoeShmo: you can use any editor so if you ar used to vi stick with it [03:14] I don't understand how this bug could even be possible [03:14] Dark_Shikari: you said the genmask is wrong...do you want help changing that line in the routing table, or do you know how? [03:14] JoeShmo, are you using Grub2 or Grub? [03:14] SHumphrey: i dont understand how you expect it to be fixed if you never report it. [03:14] Jamed, the space worked .. thanks a lot :) [03:15] Jamed, the top of the file says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" lol [03:15] SHumphrey: now could you please drop the attitude? [03:15] maco: well if that's wrong one would think something else is probably wrong too... [03:15] SHumphrey: we're all volunteers here helping out in our spare time, not paid to listen to your abuse [03:15] how do I force a static IP/gateway/DNS/etc? [03:15] never done it on linux before [03:15] JoeShmo: edit the other files in /etc/grub/* [03:15] JoeShmo: then sudo update-grub [03:15] the sound just stops but then it's fine when I change the master volume. Can I use apport to report the bug? [03:15] JoeShmo: wow, didnt notice that. ive edited it anyway and it worked [03:16] Dark_Shikari: /etc/network/intefaces for IP gateway etc /etc/resolv.conf for DNS [03:16] JoeShmo, I believe that you can edit the file manually, but it gets overwritten each time you update-grub or install a new kernel [03:16] ok guys ,, .. i have another problem ,, actully i've tried this 3 times now .. 3 fresh installs for ubuntu .. when ever i use "update manager" ,, i lose the sound in my system .. i mean i have no sound at all .. the "front left, front right" test works .. but no music no videos sounds .. nothing .. can i update with keeping my sound card functioning .. or back it up somehow ? ? ? [03:16] Why can't i checkout an svn [03:16] SHumphrey: have you checked that it only happens when you use the graphical volume thingy or does it happen with alsamixer too? if alsamixer too, "ubuntu-bug linux" if just graphical, id guess pulseaudio "ubuntu-bug pulseaudio" [03:16] thing [03:16] i did sudo apt-get install svn and it wont work :s [03:16] maco, Jamed, HowDoI, I get it...thanks for the help....GRUB2 is new to me [03:17] wtf ubuntu doesn't come with vim [03:17] Dark_Shikari: correct. === Typh_ is now known as Typh [03:17] Dark_Shikari: right, just nano. also, watch your language, even in abbreviations [03:17] Dark_Shikari: vi is included, however. [03:17] er, I don't see anything in "interfaces" [03:17] !pm | john316 [03:17] Dark_Shikari: Install vim if you want it...

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:17] edbian: I can't! [03:17] that's why I'm here [03:17] john316: also, SMP is enabled in the default kernel [03:17] Dark_Shikari: O right, no network :P sorry [03:17] /etc/network/interfaces says "auto lo" "iface lo inet loopback" [03:17] I don't see where I put my IP or gateway there [03:18] Dark_Shikari: That's the loopback interface [03:18] do you know how to enable 2nd processor to act as hyperthreading [03:18] <-- new ubuntu convert... win7 annoyed me too much.. so far, WELL impresed.. anyway.. torrent client ? i was used to utorrent, but happy to try new things.. must have rss reader [03:18] ideas please [03:18] Quan-Time: azureus?

[03:19] Jamed, o .. i have another problem ,, actully i've tried this 3 times now .. 3 fresh installs for ubuntu .. when ever i use "update manager" ,, i lose the sound in my system .. i mean i have no sound at all .. the "front left, front right" test works .. but no music no videos sounds .. nothing .. can i update with keeping my sound card functioning .. or back it up somehow ? ? ? [03:19] JoeShmo, do you have grub or grub2 installed on the partition you're trying to update? [03:20] john316: having all your cpu cores or all your cpus in use is called Symmetric Multi-Processing or SMP. it is compiled into ubuntu's default kernel since 6.10 or 7.04 or thereabouts [03:20] i have 2gb and its lagging bad and running slow [03:20] justd: run group and tell me if you see adio there [03:20] !info subversion| pilif12p: [03:20] 'pilif12p:' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, partner [03:20] so its already enabled [03:20] juq*audio [03:20] HowDoI: well when I boot, the menu says 1.9x beta but when I do grub --version in Ubuntu, it says 0.97 [03:20] i've got it. [03:21] justd: audio* ...argh cant type :) [03:21] john316: check your "free -m" output...maybe its laggy and slow because its swapping a lot? [03:21] If I have my drives in RAID how can I install Ubuntu without Ubuntu thinking the two drives in RAID0 are seperate? [03:21] Jamed, run "group" .. what do you mean ^^ [03:21] JoeShmo, I know little about Grub, but it might be that you have multiple versions installed somehow [03:21] Jamed, sorry for your fingers :) [03:21] justd: open the terminal and type group [03:21] its only using 842 [03:21] maco / edbian: for some odd reason, unplugging the ethernet and replugging fixed it. i.e. unplug, watch it say network unplugged, replug, wait until it says replugged again [03:22] total 1949 [03:22] Jamed, No command 'group' found, did you mean: [03:22] Command 'groupd' from package 'cman' (main) [03:22] Command 'groups' from package 'coreutils' (main) [03:22] group: command not found [03:22] cached 454 [03:22] justd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:22] ^raid [03:22] justd: oh its groups [03:22] HowDoI, the plot thickens....know any GRUB experts? [03:22] Jamed, lol ,, ok [03:22] waht your getting at though is taht the hyperthreading is already enabled? [03:22] Dark_Shikari: http://pastebin.com/d254e7a10 [03:22] Jamed, adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [03:22] ^raid [03:23] edbian: ah k, easy enough. [03:23] justd: then run sudo gpasswd -a username audio [03:23] No one here ever used Ubuntu with RAID? [03:23] JoeShmo, No, but I read all the information I could find and then realized that the problem I had was my own fault. I think as long as you don't have any weird needs for boot options, you can re-install Grub2 and it will auto-detect all your operating systems by itself [03:23] hello [03:24] i have questions aboiut ubuntu [03:24] Jamed, gpasswd: user 'username' does not exist [03:24] eee .. my username lol .. right [03:24] justd: u should replace it with you actual username [03:24] sorry ^^ [03:24] HowDoI, my system is kind of unique....maybe I'll just do some more research...thanks for the insights [03:24] justd: np :) === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [03:26] Jamed, Adding user username to group audio [03:26] maco your saying my that both my processors are utilized already [03:26] which is justd ^^ << learning lol .. is this information "hackable" ? lol [03:26] justd: now you have to logout and login again. then come back and ill tell you what to do next [03:27] logout login again like restart .. or just logout and in ? [03:27] john316: yes [03:27] how do i get linux to reconize my netgear 311v2 wireless card? [03:27] hmmm [03:27] << windows experience [03:27] justd: no restart just logout [03:27] ok thanks maco [03:27] Jamed, ok [03:28] justd: unlike windows you dont have to restart every half an hour :) [03:28] hello [03:28] hi guys. i've an Radeon HD 3450 running on karmic-64. reinstalled drivers from downloaded ati....run file, configured in catalyst gui, but still unable to get 3D-HA. [03:28] any ideas? [03:29] Jason284: try here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [03:29] maco: ok, next issue: sound doesn't work. === xJust is now known as justd === justd is now known as JustD [03:29] Dark_Shikari: im about to eat dinner. join #ubuntu-audio-help and see if anyone's around === JustD is now known as D [03:29] Jamed, ok back ^^ [03:29] me justd [03:30] Dark_Shikari: its an unofficial help channel but...eh. audio maintainer is always in there [03:30] D: run groups again and check if theres audio now [03:30] yop === D is now known as Guest59994 [03:30] Jamed, ok [03:30] Jamed, it's there now [03:30] i just tried installing ubuntu now. I got to the gnu and everything. Allthough when rebooting i just get to the bash [03:30] wheres the gui? [03:30] Guest59994: try to run alsamixer [03:31] Guest59994: btw seems like D is taken := [03:31] guest 59994 .. where did that come from .. running alsa mixer [03:31] textex: do you have an Internet connection? [03:31] Jamed, ooh ... ok ^^ [03:31] AnonnyMouse: how do you know you do not have 3d? what errors do you get === Guest59994 is now known as JustD [03:31] @greezmunkey, i dont understand code, is there a driver i can install [03:31] Why wouldn't Alt+Tab work? I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Tab? [03:31] JustD now [03:31] Guest59994: so alsamixer works? [03:31] JustD: ok [03:32] Jamed, it works [03:32] then you can quit it with esc and try play sound [03:32] JustD: it should work now [03:32] ok.. gnome panel.. is there extra info i can put on it ? like current network up / down speeds, /home space remaining, etc ?? [03:32] Jamed ,, :( [03:33] anyone? [03:33] JustD: why :( ? [03:33] textex. [03:33] shouldnt ubuntu just load to the gui? [03:33] Jamed, it was working .. i said .. "If i run update manager" .. it will stop working .. second thing is .. now i'm asked to run "partial upgrade" [03:33] I was talking to you, man. [03:34] so .. ? [03:34] textex, did you install Ubuntu Desktop or some other version? [03:34] laserdude, sorry yeah i was connected to the net [03:34] installed desktop [03:34] but i have like two disks, how do i choose which one to install to? [03:34] ok. try running xorg [03:34] Jason284: waht code? I linked you to the troubleshooting guide. [03:34] hi guys. i've an Radeon HD 3450 running on karmic-64. reinstalled drivers from downloaded ati....run file, configured in catalyst gui, but still unable to get 3D-HA. any ideas? [03:34] JustD: many users have problems with sound in karmic. mostly you get thrown out of group audio, so you can just use sudo gpasswd -a justd audio again [03:34] s/waht/what [03:35] dosent matter. [03:35] Jamed, i'll update and get back to you ^^ [03:35] textex, Are you installing Ubuntu from Windows or are you running a LiveCD? [03:35] JustD: ok [03:35] hey everyone [03:35] Jamed, what is "Partial update" anyway .. will it stay like that ? [03:35] HowDoI, i just burned 9,2?.Iso and ran it from startup [03:35] booted it, and installed [03:36] I have a problem and I don't know if it has been fixed [03:36] JustD: i think some packages cant be upgraded yet, so its just "partial" and not "full" [03:36] ok. howdol's got this. [03:36] Jamed, Plus .. i'm asked to remove package "adobe-flash*" .. should i remove ? .. before it made problems for me .. so i format ? [03:36] textex, And you say that it is not booting to the desktop? Is it stopping at a black screen with white text that says "Grub" at the top? [03:36] I can't seem to get the grub bootloader menu on startup. [03:36] Jamed, thanks for the info [03:36] HowDoI, yeah it stops at the grub thing [03:36] I'm using grub 2 on 9.10 [03:37] I have downloaded custom kernels but I can't select the one I wish to use [03:37] JustD: well, i would remove it, because else you wont be able to upgrade [03:37] Jamed, alright ,, here we go .. ^^ [03:37] hey does anyone know how to get evolution mail to work? [03:38] textex, I believe that it is asking you which Operating System you want to load. If you have Windows or something else on your computer before installing Ubuntu, it might ask which one you want to load when it starts up. You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select the one you want, then hit enter to continue [03:38] it never asks for password during setup, then when I try to get my email, it just sits there, never asking for password [03:38] samuel, do you not see anything related to Grub at all when you boot? [03:38] It does not say that..even when I press esc it does nothing but say "grub 2" and then boots [03:38] HowDoI, Well at the startup its does ask if i want to run XP or Ubuntu, when i choose ubuntu it goes to grub. [03:39] Jamed, :( ,, can't update now [03:39] Jamed, error [03:39] I have heard that this is a problem [03:39] oh snap i just put pidgin into overdrive xD [03:39] burningatrocity, what type account do you need to connect to? [03:39] samuel, Grub2 looks for the shift key to go to the boot selection menu, I believe [03:39] gmail [03:39] and it's set as pop.gmail.com [03:39] which is the correct email settings [03:39] textex: that's good. is there anything else about ubuntu in grub? [03:40] burningatrocity, I can tell you what I did, if you want. [03:40] ok sure [03:40] anything will help [03:40] Jamed, An error occurred ,, the package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but i can't find an archive for it. E: internal error opening cache (1). please report [03:40] Any others having issues with some apps and pulseaudio in 9.10 and have returned to a previous release? [03:40] textex, When you select Ubuntu and press enter, does it take you back to the Grub screen each time? Try hitting enter again? [03:40] JustD: it says please report so you should file a bug report on lanchpad [03:41] JustD: looks like a bug [03:41] Jamed, gek .. how ? [03:41] #ubuntu-cn [03:41] burningatrocity: or link you to the site I copied from: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/03/08/howto-set-up-gmail-in-evolution-gnomes-mail-client-and-organizer/ [03:41] JustD: uhm lets see if ubottu has some info :) [03:41] !bug [03:41] 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 [03:41] HowDoI, well first i choose what OS i want to boot, then it goes to grub, after i choose ubuntu. [03:41] JustD: there you go :) [03:42] Jamed, :) ok [03:42] So after that i can only do linux cmds, or reboot [03:42] ardchoille: hey mate, thanks for the great theme to work and learn off of. i have just 'finished' round 1 of my theme design. how do i pull up twf to test it? [03:42] textex, The boot selection menu IS Grub. Can you describe in more detail what happens after you highlight Ubuntu and press enter? [03:42] ok so I have done all that, but it's never worked for me [03:43] Jamed, soo .. that bug happened because of adding audio into groups .. or aah .. what ^^ ? [03:43] JustD: just report the error message of the update [03:43] Is Evolution the best solution for email? Mine keeps taking up tons of cpu time and it crashes [03:43] samuel; if you're running gnome install do you have startup manager installed? [03:43] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/440233 <-- this is why ati sucks, I haven't been able to play 1080p movies since karmic fresh install [03:43] HowDoI, first it says "do you want to run XP, or Ubuntu" [03:44] where is the package update log (dpkg.aptitute.synaptic) ? [03:44] /var/log/aptitude is empty [03:44] JustD: since no one seems to be in group audio i begin to wonder if it is even required to be in there [03:44] HowDoI, Then when i press Ubuntu, it tells me im in Grub, and gotta press "tab" if i need any help, and then it just stalls asking me for the next command [03:45] hello [03:45] /var/log/dpkg.log [03:45] where i can download the mingming 's ppa? [03:45] zsy: hi :) [03:45] the program can watch movies online [03:45] use ubuntu-tweak [03:45] textex, Ohhh, it seems that Grub is not properly installed, which probably means that you somehow installed Ubuntu a little strangely. This is beyond my knowledge. [03:46] i just setup xfce [03:46] zsy. i did but i cant find the choice on twesk [03:46] textex: can you cmd line any of your WMs or even x11? [03:46] check every item ,in third soft [03:47] zsy [03:47] yes i did it [03:47] Jamed, thanks man ,, i'll just try to restart and see if things get better ^^ .. ja na [03:47] HowDoI, oki. Thanks for the helpt man. I gotta get some sleep anyways. Will try again tommorow. [03:47] add sources [03:47] but i dont find the mingming - ppa [03:47] mahngiel, dont know.

[03:47] or you can add urls in /etc/apt/sources.list [03:47] Jamed, oh .. and the problem isn't because of you .. it's because of "Adobe-flashplugin" .. how can i remove it ???? [03:48] JustD: restart is always worth a try :) [03:48] hm /var/log/dpkg.log seems sparse [03:48] JustD: sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin [03:48] hello new here need some help with wine anyone out there [03:48] any other package installation logs ?

After the upgrade, there were too many things wrong with ubuntu so i decided to do a fresh install of it. However.... I did not know where to begin so I figured I'd put in the liveCD and delete the linux partitions. I couldn't do that because it said they were locked so i [04:04] chose to format the partition my ubuntu was on instead. Can someone please help? Thanks....

I've been stucking on this for several hours now and desperately need help. I had ubuntu and windows7 dual boot on my laptop and I upgraded my ubuntu to 9.10. After the upgrade, there were too many things wrong with ubuntu so i decided to do a fresh install of it. However.... I did not know where to begin so I figured I'd put in the liveCD and delete the linux partitions. I couldn't do that because it said they were locked so i [04:07] chose to format the partition my ubuntu was on instead. Now I'm stuck at this point not knowing whether to continue and install into the formatted linux partition or to still try and delete the linux partitions before reinstalling. Can someone please help? Thanks.... [04:07] sexcopter, you could use ubuntuone (i think) to synchronize two machines' folders [04:07] is it possible to make redundant printer servers?

[04:10] I just installed ubuntu 9.1, I have two monitors and I configured two monitors via the preferences (unchecked mirror) and they both show, but I cannot drag a window from one monitor to the other. [04:10] sexcopter, you should be able to write a cron script, but I'd look around, there may already be a system for that which you can use. [04:11] IdleOne: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334930/ [04:11] JustD: I don't know [04:11] reinstall then ... :( [04:12] JustD: not yet [04:12] ?

When justd tries to reinstall the package he is going to get an error that the script did not complete successfully, so you can edit the script and just put "exit 0" on the second line. I have to go thus why I handed off to you :) [04:15] R1 ; i think you couldn't delete the part , it will let you laptop stay in starting [04:15] nothing can be changed [04:16] how do I see what "type" of wireless network card I have for Kismet?

[04:21] IdleOne: it just does nothing and reports success [04:22] Jamed, IdleOne, check this out [04:22] I have found a workaround to solve this issue manually, though this should be fixed properly with a patch. You need to delete this file as root: [04:22] rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm And then you can reinstall it again. [04:22] can sudo ls -l /usr/src ... can ls with my user i am in src group. src group owns dir [04:22] Jamed: so it lies [04:22] IdleOne: it installs the package without doing what the script wants to do (to properly debug, you need to read script and see where it fails) [04:22] IdleOne: but since it should only be removed that would be a solution i guess [04:22] steven__: please do not dcc chat me. if you have question ask in the channel [04:23] IdleOne: night [04:23] ...? anybody help? [04:23] night jrib and thank you for the trick [04:24] JustD: so it reinstalled it?

Is this a common complaint? It used to be fine, but some time during the life of my Jaunty installation it stopped working. [04:52] Anyone guide me per my post of 20:47? [04:52] hi, anybody have ATI Video working with new ubuntu? [04:53] etfb: you need twice as much swap as you have ram for hibernation to work right..dont know about suspend [04:53] buntuskiffler, I only got it to work with live cd in Compatibility Mode. I'm here looking for a solution, too. [04:53] yeah [04:54] etfb: suspend flip/flops working not working most kernel updates [04:54] etfb: roll back to your previous kernel & done [04:55] I don't even get a bot response :( [04:55] soloact_: what kind of card do you have? [04:55] anyone here yet that can help me with xrandr? [04:55] buntuskiffler Radeon HD 3850, supposed to work. Radeon 9800 Pro worked with Jaunty64 [04:56] * buntuskiffler gots a 1800xl [04:56] doesn't 1.5 Mb/s seem slow for transferring files over my home wifi network? [04:56] ...i guess i dont need to use ubuntu after all.. [04:56] yeah but how else will you handbrake? [04:56] :P [04:57] mike, whenver i used wifi, it was usually not for gaming or something [04:57] KaAttaKilla: you havent actually said what you want to do with xrandr. how could anyone help? [04:57] firefox keeps showing it is using over 100% of CPU when running "top", how is this possible? [04:57] KaAttaKilla, you're not going to give up that easy are you? What's the problem? [04:57] macro i have, several times over the last hour [04:57] Meshezabeel: multicore processor? [04:57] KaAttaKilla, You don't "need" to use Ubuntu because no one, within one minute of you asking, helped you with a question about xrandr? :P [04:57] Well I'm not gaming... just transferring my iTunes library. I temporarily moved it to another computer so I could restore and not worry about losing the files... 3hrs for 10GB [04:57] KaAttaKilla: i just see "can someone help me with xrandr?" over and over... [04:58] no i asked several times.. ive been here for quite a while [04:58] KaAttaKilla: anyay, mind repeating for those who just walked in? [04:58] sorry, 2 hrs for 10GB [04:58] KaAttaKilla: please restate your question [04:58] is there a command i can type to bring up a simple dialog box with a given string and an OK button? [04:58] anyone know the ftp site for os downloads? [04:58] my question is, xrandr --size 1280x768 changes the size, but it messes up the refresh rate, how can i get it to 60? [04:58] I calculate that to roughly 1.5 Mb/s... I'm on Apple Airport Extreme... just seems like that's slow. I get 1 Mb/s downloading from the internet. [04:58] !ftp site for ubuntu [04:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:59] ok let's say i used "Locate" to search for a file .. then i see the path .. if i want to open it using terminal .. what do i do .. fastest way ? [04:59] KaAttaKilla, you need to be doing that business in your xorg.conf file [04:59] !ftp [04:59] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [04:59] greezmunkey: nuh uh [04:59] for some reason kde and gnome both default my display to 1600x1200 and i only see the upper left of my screen [04:59] frogzoo, hard to do on a fresh install of Karmic... but regardless, it's been like this for the last three or four kernels. [04:59] imatech: download.ubuntu.com [04:59] !ask [04:59] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:59] !ask [04:59] KaAttaKilla: pastebin the output of plain "xrandr" [04:59] maco, educate me. [04:59] greezmunkey: the point of xrandr is to let you make such changes on the fly without xorg.conf [04:59] !download [04:59] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [05:00] greezmunkey ah its u, i never got kde to fully boot, gnome WILL boot but the resolution is way off [05:00] ok let's say i used "Locate" to search for a file .. then i see the path .. if i want to open it using terminal .. what do i do .. fastest way ? [05:00] maco, I agree, but it's not perminant, like commiting it to xorg.conf :p [05:00] greezmunkey actually got the system booted all the way up and online now [05:00] greezmunkey: you can put xrandr commands in /etc/gdm/Init/Default to make them take effect at gdm and last throughout your session [05:00] JustD: gedit /path/to/file [05:00] Oh well [05:01] i have to type the whole path, no other ways using terminal [05:01] KaAttaKilla, right on! :) [05:01] ok i got this system running on a live CD, i wont install it on this laptop till i get it working... what can i do to resize the display to it's native 1280x768 60hrz [05:01] KaAttaKilla: can you do that pastebin i asked for? [05:01] right now its default is 1600x1200 [05:01] KaAttaKilla: why you trying to kill the twins? [05:01] http://www.kubuntu.org/news/timelord [05:01] JustD: you want it to guess? :) === morodock is now known as morodo [05:02] Kage_Jittai: what about? [05:02] Meshezabeel kill the twins? [05:02] maco: the future of kubuntu [05:02] Kage_Jittai: i know. but why are you pasting here? [05:02] KaAttaKilla, ok if your on a live CD then xrandr is about all you can do, but - once you find the settings that work for your gear, write it down for your actual instal! [05:02] IdleOne, loooool .. no no ... i mean like "find" and a command like "Open" or something [05:02] KaAttaKilla: It is what your nick means is it not? [05:02] maco: spreading the word... [05:02] how do i determine what moduales to get when compling kernal? [05:02] one line .. Bom .. it opens === morodo is now known as morodock === plague is now known as vfen [05:03] greezmunkey: my brother is driving into town to pick up the system now... im down to my last 30 min to get it done... ive been asking here for over an hour and im running out of time [05:03] greezmunkey: what do i need to do? [05:03] JustD: gedit /path/to/file is one line [05:03] ^^ i mean with the "search" [05:03] did the new ubuntu mess up LXDE? it looks way diff [05:03] greezmunkey: xrandr --size 1280x768 puts teh wrong refresh rate and i cant see very well... it is way messed up [05:04] IdleOne, anyway .. it's cool ^^ :) [05:04] KaAttaKilla, have you done an install to the hard drive, or are you just running live cd? [05:04] so IdleOne, u know about Evolution Mail ? [05:04] Meshezabeel and no, my name is derived from a diety [05:04] greezmunkey: im on a live CD, i dont wanna wipe windows till i know i can get the settings right [05:04] JustD: nope sorry. I use gmail [05:05] Gmail .. cool [05:05] KaAttaKilla, fair enough. Do you know what your display is capable of? [05:05] KaAttaKilla: what is "xrandr"'s output? please pastebin. i want to see what refresh rates it offers for that mode. also, --size is deprecated isnt it? should be using the mode [05:05] KaAttaKilla, and your display adapter? [05:05] IdleOne, ok .. about "audio converstaion" ,, what's the best on Ubuntu [05:05] i mean .. between Ubuntu and Windows [05:05] does any1 knows any software like xvidcap but that also records audio? [05:05] greezmunkey: its native is 1280x768 60hz... in windows [05:06] greezmunkey: i am not positive on display adapter no, it has no dedicated graphics, im guessing is virtual intel [05:06] JustD: sorry? what is it you want to do? [05:06] KaAttaKilla, maco is right, paste your xrandr output to start with. [05:06] greezmunkey: im awesome in windows.. but linux talk is greek to me... i dunno what that means or how to do it [05:07] !paste | KaAttaKilla [05:07] KaAttaKilla: 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 [05:07] IdleOne, I want to have an "Audio Conversation" or " a call" .. like "Skype" actully .. where can i run my skype account from "ubuntu" with good voice calls ?

[05:11] exactly [05:12] greezmunkey: and when i use xrandr --size 1280x768... my screen goes way wacky.. im guessing cuz the refresh rate is way off [05:12] is there a command i can type to bring up a simple dialog box with a given string and an OK button? [05:12] i have to blind type xrandr -s 0 to get back [05:12] I am logged into a remote server over a vpn using ssh. I am feeling that I should log off rather than just quitting the terminal with Ctrl+C & Ctrl+D. Neither logoff nor exit have terminated the ssh. Should I logoff or does it matter? [05:12] fotoflo: need a 64bit vm to run the 64bit version. 64bit can use >4GB of ram though i doubt youll allocate that much to a vm anyway..

[05:17] KaAttaKilla, did you see what maco said? [05:17] maco: sorry i dont think i fully follow you... what is the name of mode? [05:17] !geezer [05:17] khelvan, type route [05:18] khelvan, df -h [05:18] ;p [05:18] greezmunkey: yea i didnt totally understand it [05:18] cd28h - It doesn't tell me where /home is :) [05:18] khelvan: mount [05:18] khelvan, or mount with no parameters [05:18] khelvan, /home might not be its own partition [05:18] JustD: http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32 [05:18] or,, khel type df -ah [05:18] khelvan, or you mean how to tell which partition it's on? [05:18] my wireless was working, but now it's showing disabled, suggestions on how to turn it on? [05:18] khelvan, you could df /home [05:18] KaAttaKilla, honestly, I havn't set x resolution like this before, maco would you mide repeating you last two posts please :) [05:19] cn28h - Ahh, you are correct. I'm checking this via SSH on my headless server. I am guessing /home isn't on its own partition. [05:19] KaAttaKilla: the first bit after it says "Modeline" is the mode name [05:19] greezmunkey: not used to all this stuff, and my limited cmd knowledge is foreign in linux... what exactly should i input? [05:19] KaAttaKilla: when you run cvt 1024 768 [05:19] KaAttaKilla, watch for maco [05:19] IdleOne, reaaaaaly Thanks Man ... gotta go now .. see you later .. and have a nice day pro ;) [05:19] KaAttaKilla: "cvt 1024 768" and itll say something like: Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [05:19] Is version 9.10 incompatible with ATI 1950 video card.

[05:20] KaAttaKilla: so then youd run: xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [05:20] maco: right, what exactly do i type next? sorry to be difficult but ive been windows for years. [05:20] KaAttaKilla: or whatever your output looked like === Guest83909 is now known as b166er_x [05:20] maco: k trying that [05:20] I have a problem/question.. : everytime i try to copy a file on a USB stick or External Hd, first megs go fast, then it always stall completely. Why is taht ? sorry for repeat ..nickchange [05:20] is there a way to tell why my computer keeps freezing ? [05:20] I run latest ubuntu [05:20] maco: that rocks! [05:21] KaAttaKilla: then you run: xrandr --output default --addmode "1024x768_60.00" (again substitute in whatever name cvt gave it) [05:21] I hATE TO GO SO FAR AS REBOOTING JUST TO RE-ENABLOE WIFI [05:21] THAT SEEMS INSANELY SILLY [05:21] KaAttaKilla: and finally: xrandr --output default --mode "1024x768_60.00" [05:21] darn, sorry [05:21] lat: if you mean x1950 it works for me. if you mean hd 1950 i haven o idea === b166er_x is now known as B166er-X === B166er-X is now known as B166_er-X [05:21] * lasivian sighs [05:21] b166erx [05:21] sorry === B166_er-X is now known as B166erx [05:22] virtuald, what driver are you using? [05:22] greezmunkey: so then all the xrandr commands (not the cvt one) go in /etc/gdm/Init/Default and ta-da! no need for xorg.conf [05:22] lat: the latest radeon crack of the day [05:22] lasivian: try /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:23] I did a minimal 9.04 install to a Dell Mini 9 with A03 firmware. I installed the xorg, gnome-core and alsa-base packages. I have tried adding the "options snd-hda-intel model=dell" switch to the end of the alsa-base file. Between all the things I have tried i have successfully seen the hardware, been able to select, use and change volumes of the hardware, but no sound will ever come out. Speakers or Headphones... [05:23] macro: i got some errors.. hang on [05:23] but i'm going back to the default driver [05:23] ctmjr, thank [05:23] Why would restart networking give me a connection but the interfaces file won't give me anything on boot up?? [05:23] I know I'm missing something simple [05:23] Takagami: alsa-base/alsa-driver is for if you want to recompile the sound drivers yourself... [05:23] since i'll upgrade to lucid soon and i don't want to mess it up [05:23] Takagami: the kernel includes all your sound drivers to begin with [05:23] i need help i lost my menu bar how do i get it back? [05:23] virtuald, propitiatory from ATI? [05:24] KaAttaKilla: ok. by the way, its maco, not macro, so im not getting highlighted [05:24] no, from xorg [05:24] lat: google xorg edgers ppa [05:24] maco, that's pretty spiffy!, thanks for the education. I'll be giving that a try here in a minute! [05:24] Why does all file transfers to External drive/USb are freezing in Karmic ? [05:24] virtuald, ok, thanks! [05:24] greezmunkey: its how i got my mom's computer to do 1280x1024 instead of 1024x768 last week [05:25] maco: so if I can see the hardware, select to use it, change the volumes, but no sound comes out... what am I missing? [05:25] is it possible to share internet via bluetooth from windows xp to ubuntu? [05:25] Takagami: possibly the driver is misdetecting your hardware [05:25] Takagami: in which case, file a bug against the kernel [05:25] maco, it's good to be nice to your mom! [05:25] but it works if I do a full install as opposed to a minimal "do it yourselfer" [05:26] hello i lost my menu bar how to i get it back? [05:26] Takagami: ah i see...maybe ummm is your user not in the sound/audio (whatever its called) group but pulseaudio is also not in use? [05:26] I have a bit of a security question if this is the appropriate place to ask it [05:26] maco: no pulse audio. and user IS in group. [05:26] may as well ask [05:26] gh0st: does it pertain to ubuntu? [05:28] I'm the only one on my network who knows how to forward ports on the router... or even what that would mean. Somehow my computer got setup as a Teredo server in the list of forwarded ports, and I know I didn't do that. Should I be worried about my security of my machine? [05:28] maco, so to begin with, run xrandr to see what modes are available, then use cvt to determine the exact modeline, which is then fed back to xrandr - sound about right? [05:28] Sorry, I'm pretty n00by =/ [05:28] greezmunkey: if xrandr doesnt list the mode you want, cvt will generate a modeline for the one you want [05:28] maco, that's the piece I was missing! thanks :) [05:28] greezmunkey: then you need to --newmode to tell xrandr about it, then --output --addmode to associate that new mode with an output [05:29] ok maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334962/ [05:29] greezmunkey: and finall --output --mode activates the mode [05:29] maco, no doubt, I pasted all of that into my running "excellent" proceedures file that I keep open just for this type of thing ;) [05:29] KaAttaKilla: ah ok, on the --addmode, *only* put the "1280x768_60.00" , not the rest of the bit after it [05:30] ok trying again [05:30] i have a hard drive that was formatted using mac os x with gpt, anyone know how i can change this to mbr [05:31] Trading brazzers account for Heroes of newerth beta key!!

[05:32] KaAttaKilla: xrandr --output, not just --output [05:32] what's samba in short [05:32] Any thoughts on the question I've asked? Or where it would be appropriate to ask it? [05:33] nomnexa windows compatable file sharing service [05:33] KaAttaKilla: xrandr --output default --addmode "1280x768_60.00" [05:33] KaAttaKilla: *then* xrandr --output default --mode "1280x768_60.00" [05:33] KaAttaKilla: in that order [05:33] ddoom_: what? 'change to mbf' ?? [05:33] Takagmi: do I need samba to configure a linux only workgroup behind a NAT? [05:33] r [05:33] hello, I am not able to edit a file or change its permissions even as root [05:33] maco, the only reason I'm even fooling with it is to access some voicemail hard drives...I figured I'd install X while I was at it. Now it's asking if I want opengl support...here's another half hour! [05:34] gh0st: that sounds like a windows question since its teredo ##windows [05:34] mathew: man chmod maybe [05:34] i lost my panel how do i get it back please [05:34] nomnex: you shouldn't NEED it you can use NFS, I fins samba a bit easier and I have windows machines so... [05:34] Teredo is windows software? [05:34] jetscreamer:chmod: changing permissions of `/etc/resolv.conf': Operation not permitted [05:34] Takagami: so it either samba either NFS? [05:34] gh0st: teredo is a windows protocol for ipv4 over ipv6 [05:34] gh0st: miredo is the *nix implementation [05:34] jetscreamer: http://pastebin.com/m504ebbee [05:35] I see, thank you. [05:35] I guess I don't need to worry about my machine [05:35] nomnex: there are a few other protocols you can use but those are the most, service based, rather then server based, if you get my meaning. [05:35] gh0st: installed miredo and didnt recognize the name difference? [05:35] ddoom_: you want to nuke it or what [05:35] jetscreamer: yep [05:35] mathew: as root ? [05:35] yes [05:36] hi [05:36] Takagami: now what's the relation between SAMBA for network share and SSH? [05:36] hi [05:36] :D [05:36] Probably my parents computer... My mom likes to click all the ads about free desktop wallpapers etc. [05:36] ever been here [05:36] nope [05:36] maco: ok im so lost and confused now [05:36] KaAttaKilla: im sorry [05:36] ddoom_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whateverthepathistothathd ... ctrl c it after a min or two [05:36] then fdisk it [05:36] maco: i think i need to just reboot from livecd and try it all again from the start [05:36] maco, No I just found a random port open on my router that I, or any other human in the house, did not open [05:36] KaAttaKilla: no no youre ok [05:37] It was forwarding to my machine, was wondering if I needed to be concerned [05:37] KaAttaKilla: you havent messed it up. the commands you put in didnt work because 1) they were out of order and 2) one had a typo. thats all :) [05:37] maco: i dont even know where im at now [05:37] ddoom_: of=/dev/sdd apparently.. don't mess it up or you might nuke the wrong thing [05:37] and the stuff i was copying is way too far up in chat now [05:37] jetscreamer: ok i'll try taht [05:37] KaAttaKilla: pastebin the output of "xrandr" again and we'll see how it's changed so far, ok? [05:37] KaAttaKilla, I'll paste what maco typed, in order brb [05:38] nomnex: SSH is a way to log into your linux machine and thow commands at it, samba is primarily a file sharing service [05:38] maco: 334967 [05:38] KaAttaKilla: this should be all you need to do now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334968/ [05:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/334969/ [05:39] Thank you [05:39] Takagami: does it make sens to use ssh to connect a remote and host in my workgroup? [05:39] I'm installing grub2 on my terabyte external, I'm going to do this command: "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/USBFolderName /dev/sdx" the partition I'm going to boot everything off of is called BOOT, and it's mountpoaint is /media/BOOT so would I do "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/BOOT /dev/sdg" ? [05:39] gh0st: the best way to secure your router is too make sure administration remote access (ports closed) is turned off or use a very secure password [05:39] how do you install the panel bar at the bottom in the terminal? [05:39] edit: host and client [05:39] vinpan, what's the panel that you want? [05:40] where it has my menu bar [05:40] KaAttaKilla, be sure to substitute your display size though! [05:40] oh... so not a new program? [05:40] just the one that's already there? [05:40] ya [05:40] I don't know how to do that in the terminal, but I can tell how you to do it with the GUI [05:41] nomnex: Yes! I use SSH daily to preform minor tasks on my desktop from my netbook. It's pretty easy to secure and it is encrypted with keys by default. Also check out the NX protocol from http://www.nomachine.com if you want a really fast graphical way to log in. [05:41] i dont know GUI [05:41] i need the main menu bar at the bottom of the screen [05:41] Takagami: what's the point to use a secure shell with wired pc behind a router on a lan? [05:42] I'm not, my netbook is on 3G WWAN from verizon. [05:42] maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334972/ [05:42] nomnex: those tasks i perform are from work to home [05:43] maco, thanks for zenity [05:43] vinpan: right-click the panel>properties>>Orientation [05:43] oh, I see so it's remote (outside your LAN) i.e. from the net [05:43] KaAttaKilla: ah i'm sorry. [05:43] maco: << nomnex: or from inside if you don't want to get off the couch... hehe... going to go smoke... be back. [05:43] KaAttaKilla: apparently i dont read well enough. it shouldve been: xrandr --addmode default "1024x768_60.00" [05:43] <_kane> k [05:43] Takagami: you link, what product name you recomand? [05:44] thats the thing i have no panel [05:44] * maco hugs KaAttaKilla [05:44] smoke? like in a pipe? [05:44] or a cigarette? [05:44] vinpan: gnome? [05:44] nomnex: both ;-) [05:44] yes [05:45] enjoy, take to you later [05:45] greezmunkey: ping. i gave bad syntax. xrandr --addmode [05:45] !panels > vinpan [05:45] vinpan, please see my private message [05:45] hi [05:45] oops [05:46] maco: u typed 1024 and i copied u [05:46] shoulda been 1280... is that bad? [05:46] maco, corrected it in my notes, thanks. [05:46] KaAttaKilla: i know. i did it wrong. i'm sorry [05:46] did i mess anything up by adding 1024? [05:46] KaAttaKilla: it shouldve been xrandr --addmode default "1024x768_60.00" [05:46] I can't get S-Video to work on my Ubuntu 9.10 based Dell Inspiron 700m. Can someone please tell me how to get S-Video to work?

I think the powersave function is borked in the ath9k driver [05:48] vinpan: your welcome [05:48] KaAttaKilla: i think i got confused because 768 in my mind usually goes with 1024 [05:48] macro: i tried again w/ 1280... got "xrandr: configure crtc 0 failed" [05:48] maco** [05:48] KaAttaKilla: pastebin "xrandr" output again?

[05:50] anyone know? [05:50] Takagami: NX Free edition for Linux? [05:51] KaAttaKilla, from what I see you're almost there! [05:51] I cannot edit a file even as root, please help, http://pastebin.com/mdbacdcb [05:51] nomnex: though free NX is fairly easy to setup it is a bit more advanced then a simple SSH setup... what kind of linux experience do you have? [05:52] KaAttaKilla: hmm xrandr output looks correct. that error is annoying though [05:52] none with ssh [05:52] maco: tell me about it... [05:52] Takagami: I will keep NX as step 2 [05:52] nomnex: well you need SSH setup in order to install NX so we could start there if you wanna check it out... [05:52] i'm a little unaware of scripting. i've found the code i'd like to use for a script; just not sure how to save/open/use it [05:53] Takagami: so recap, I need samba to share my files and ssh to access my network from outside my lan - do I get it right?

[05:54] greezmunkey: it is [05:55] maco, what about cvt -r option!!! [05:55] greezmunkey: never tried it [05:55] maco, it makes a differance on the "numbers" here, could be it?? [05:55] I can't get S-Video to work on my Ubuntu 9.10 based Dell Inspiron 700m. Can someone please tell me how to get S-Video to work?

There is deffinitly MUCH more that comes along with those, but a basic setup of each is a good place to start. [05:56] ok i typed cvt -r option... now what? [05:57] ok, no one can help [05:57] KaAttaKilla, generate a new modeline with cvt -r hres# vres#, I don't remember what yours were, so cvt -r 1024 768, but substitute your numbers! [05:57] Takagami: I am processing: now, using ssh cli, can I see the GUI of the remote pc (e.g using Terminal server client)?

[05:59] mahngiel: copy the script in a text editor and save it with an .sh extention then go into the dir where you saved it and type sh ./filename.sh [05:59] gonna start to cry, love ubuntu but if i cant adjust my player on my hp or broadcast... then no go.... gonna have to reinstall xp...cry [06:00] How do I enable S-Video?

[06:01] greezmunkey: 334985 [06:01] ctmjr: well, thanks for the reply :) [06:01] Takagami: I see, that's maybe not what I want. How can I see the GUI of my remote pc (the server) I access through a CLI shell (ssh) from the client (e.g. notebook outside, access desktop home?) [06:02] ok nobody knows what to do, so back o windows... it was worth a try... nice system.... but little support and help [06:03] steven__: say what? [06:03] what does this mean?

[06:05] steven__: you need articulate your issue clearly for us to help you, all the people here are volunteers [06:05] breinera: thanks, what do I need (on the client side)? [06:06] I'm stuck in CLI. I have a 160GB hard drive and I did badblocks -vvv on it. it reports there is no badblocks, but is this an accurate measuer to ensure that the drive is good? [06:06] foo: you should do a fsck from a livecd [06:06] mahngiel: no enter sh ./blah.sh [06:06] i can't hear my audio in cheese and not detected in skype. i have an msi wind u100 can anyone help? [06:06] brej era [06:06] brej [06:07] ctmjr: parton my noobage... but enter "sh . /blah.sh" in a terminal? [06:07] !fsck | foo [06:07] foo: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [06:07] xorg [06:07] nomnex: I used freenx to do remote desktop viewing in the past however most of my time anymore is command line [06:07] yes i know... i am not complaining... i am just saying if i am to stupid to know what to do, or how... how shall i use the system [06:07] nomnex: You can use NX or VNC or RDP for what you want [06:07] KaAttaKilla, did that work? [06:07] breinera Takagami: I see clearer, thanks [06:08] ok [06:08] ctmjr: can i just click it and "run" [06:08] this is kind of a weird question [06:08] all i need is a plugin that enables me to see and use the player on a hp [06:08] but i just installed xchat [06:08] Takagami: a good tutorial to set up the server (well, the desktop?) [06:08] steven__: and as I have stated, you need to state your issue clearly and articulate as to what you are trying to do, what you are doing and what you expect to happens [06:08] and how do i get this server to stop connecting on open [06:08] nomnex: NX will log you into an account, NOT allow you to view what is already up. VNC will allow you to control and view what is on the current logged in account on the machine. [06:08] steven__: what do you mean by a "player"? [06:08] nomnex: sorry, should have mentioned that... ;-) [06:09] ziroday: hm, I see [06:09] Takagami: what about the default Terminal server client? [06:09] ziroday: I am going to reinstall the filesystem, hm [06:09] foo: err reinstalling the filesystem will mean you will have to reinstall your machine [06:09] hey [06:09] on my homepage i had windows media player embedded, now that i have changed to ubuntu i can hear it but cant control it [06:09] mahngiel: you can make a launcher for it on your desktop === shawn__ is now known as Tiders [06:10] does anyone know any linux clients that support RDPv7? [06:10] hi all, i have a question. this is regarding rhythmbox. how do i get it to encode in a specific bitrate when transferring to mp3 player? [06:10] i need to see it.. i get the message no video [06:10] So using ubuntu under "System > Preferences > Remote Desktop" That control panel is for a VNC server setup that is already present in a full install. [06:10] My xorg.conf is as follows: http://pastebin.com/m289ddf4d - What do I need to add to enable S-Video? [06:10] shea: I believe the default client shipped with Ubuntu does, but not completely sure [06:10] nomnex: So using ubuntu under "System > Preferences > Remote Desktop" That control panel is for a VNC server setup that is already present in a full install. [06:10] ctmjr: aight, i think i got it fingered out. thanks [06:10] ziroday, shea: I believe it only does up to RDPv5 [06:11] ctmjr: i wanted to get it clear, because it's a post-install script for minimalization [06:11] greezmunkey: the first line of that dindt work [06:11] got an error [06:11] ziroday: yeah, I know. Basically, my current drive died. I found another drive, but I'm not 100% sure it's good. badblocks reports no badblocks, but is there any other tests I can do? [06:12] foo: yes, you need to fsck the drive like the factoid above explained [06:12] there a specific server for ps3? [06:12] My network manager tries to connect to my DSL modem through wifi but then message comes:"wireless connection is disconnected". Please help [06:12] hi all, i have a question. this is regarding rhythmbox. how do i get it to encode in a specific bitrate when transferring to mp3 player? [06:12] ziroday: the drive I found has a ntfs windows partition that I'm going to delete. Should I delete it, make it ext3, and then fsck that? [06:12] Takagami: just a correction, I was mentioning Remote Desktop Viewer in applications. Does it serve the same purpose as Remote desktop in system [06:12] greezmunkey: 334992 [06:12] so stated that anybody could understand... but still no answer [06:12] ziroday: I'm certain the current drive is bad, if that's what you're trying to ask me to do [06:13] i can't hear my audio in cheese and not detected in skype. i have an msi wind u100 can anyone help? [06:13] ziroday: (40+ badblocks, system doesn't boot, it's read-only) [06:13] foo: I'm sorry I'm a bit lost, you want to take a new drive and stick your Ubuntu install on to that? [06:13] foo: or you want to do a fresh install on this new drive? [06:13] nomnex: Remote Desktop Viewer in Applications > Internet is what you use to view your Remote Desktop in System. ;-) [06:13] ziroday: sorry :) my fault. I have a current drive, it's dead. I have a drive I found, but I'm not sure if it's good. badblocks says 0 badblocks on it, but I was wondering if there are any other tests I can run [06:14] ziroday: fresh install, but I want to make sure it's a good drive first. is there any other tests I can do other than badblocks? [06:14] Linux-CLI: what video card do you have? [06:14] ziroday: or if badblocks reports 0 badblocks, is that good enough and should i run with that? [06:14] foo: what filesystem is on the drive? [06:14] My network manager tries to connect to my DSL modem through wifi but then message comes:"wireless connection is disconnected". Please help [06:14] KaAttaKill, yikes, unfortunately I don't have a test machine to run through this right now. Apparantly xrandr doesn't like the "R" [06:14] is there a certain server for ps3 ubuntu? [06:14] ziroday: right now, on this drive I found that I want to use, fat32... but i'm going to delete that [06:14] steven__: it is not ubuntu that is having problems but your browser is missing plugins that will handle windows media player [06:15] mahngiel: did you get it working the way you want? [06:15] can someone just connect to my machine to help out? [06:15] #ps3ubuntu [06:15] im really low on time now [06:15] oops [06:15] Takagami: I don't get your last answer, sorry. What difference between REmote Desktop viewer (in applications) and remote desktop in system preferences/ both are clients aren't they? [06:15] foo: hmm okay, your BIOS might have a SMART checking system that could be informative [06:15] ] 69/KaAttaKi [06:15] ] 69/KaAttaKi [06:15] yes i know but which plugin and where do i get it... google gives me no answer [06:15] ziroday: I have access to the smartctl command. /me looks at man page [06:15] oops [06:15] nomnex: The one in preferences is a GUI for the settings of the server === SpY is now known as Guest328 [06:16] ive noticed that i CANT use the backspace key on my kb as "back" shortcut.. is that just a firefox setting, or something i need to edit / addon ? [06:16] greezmunkey: 0.0 [06:16] KaAttaKilla, bad paste o__O [06:16] Quan-Time: That's a Firefox setting that is switched on by default in Windows, but not other operating systems. [06:16] nomnex: the one in system > preferences is the control panel to setup the Remote Desktop to access. The Remote Desktop Viewer in Applications > Internet is what you would use on another machine elsewhere to VIEW the remote desktop that you setup.

[06:20] but with older version (9.04) you could just pop in the cd and run a couple of commands [06:20] a-stray-cat: I'm not sure how to install grub2 again, sorry! :( [06:20] and you'd get grub back [06:20] !grub2 | a-stray-cat [06:20] a-stray-cat: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[06:23] nah i tried that before [06:23] and grub1 can boot ext4 right? [06:23] i used ext4 in 9.04 i thought [06:24] a-stray-cat: grub1 can NOT boot ext4 [06:24] a-stray-cat: ubuntu 9.04 uses ext4 by default but you can change it at install time [06:24] a-stray-cat: Did you follow the instructions on the page that ubottu pointed you to? [06:24] edbian: GRUB1 is patched to boot ext4. [06:24] edbian: Ubuntu 9.04 uses ext3 by default, but Ubuntu 9.10 uses ext4. [06:25] wgrant: Really? I thought the whole point of grub2 was ext4 support? [06:25] i specifically changed my 9.04 to use ext4 :/ [06:25] wgrant: Oo! You are right about ubuntu default choice though [06:25] edbian: GRUB2 has upstream ext4 support, but it wasn't the main reason. [06:25] wgrant: IC, thank you. [06:25] I am having a highly abnormal problem with gparted, when I launch it dosfsck gets stuck in a loop and loads my processor to 50% and will not release even if gparted is force closed.

[07:32] (let alone CD-ROM)? [07:33] as you probably can see oldtopman i tried to boot it again ... and this time ... no error at all :) ... this drives me a bit crazy ... because every once in a while i get this message ... and i don't want to simpy ignore it oldtopman [07:33] mado, I know a bit of linux butmostly dsl an puppy sorry [07:33] dsl? [07:33] this small thing? [07:33] oldtopman, [07:33] damn small linux [07:34] DexterLB: you can always reinstall nautilus imo [07:34] isnt damn banned [07:34] brill! ... i could need some hand there too in the future (as far as i know) [07:34] DaZ: how? [07:34] oldtopman: DSL is probably one of the few places you can use it [07:34] oldtopman, looks like it's not ... although it's a curse word it's also a "technical jargon" :) [07:34] Meanwhile, is there any way of getting those panels of mine to change monitors? [07:34] DaZ: aptitude reinstall won't help for gconf I guess [07:34] ok ha [07:34] DexterLB: it won't but this script does something in /usr [07:35] Viking667: you can't drag them? [07:35] uh, no? [07:35] do you suppose icouldrun ubuntu aff of a very old laptop [07:35] DaZ: I'll try moving nautilus gconf thing to a backup location and doing an aptitude reinstall [07:35] it's almost morning here so i can't know what exactly, but it does something :F [07:35] hod do i install a .run file [07:36] *how [07:36] run it! :D [07:36] eddy: what run file?

[08:05] i hate that rpm based OS :( [08:05] a931bw, dont repeat. see the message from ubottu [08:05] Trailpups, svinoba: that worked, thanks [08:05] mado: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:06] DexterLB, great! [08:06] :) [08:06] I'm looking for a CLI tool which can batch search & replace through a list of files (as text-files, but different extensions). Any recommendations? [08:06] DexterLB: Thanks to Trailpups, learnt a new thing today... :) [08:06] er fahadsadah ... ok -> let's see [08:06] vim saves the day :D [08:06] Linux-CLI: sed [08:07] ok fahadsadah ... i opened it [08:07] what now? [08:07] GUI cant beat CLI right.. :D [08:07] Linux-CLI: well lets start from the beginning did you install any drivers for the card yet? [08:07] Dudes i need help !!! i installed openSUSE on SDA5 ubuntu was SDA1 bots OS have same swap but ubuntu wont load heres grub menu.lst http://pastebin.com/d49e5e5c2 [08:07] svinoba: yup [08:07] mado: Find the line beginning with "linux" [08:07] svinoba: especially vim, it's gorgeous [08:08] gvim, kvim etc suck [08:08] home /home/safire vboxsf uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1 [08:08] home doesn't seem to be being mounted at boot [08:08] I'm looking for a CLI tool which can complete a directory listing (with full path, not sure if ls can do this) then add File to the start of each line. Any recommendations? [08:08] but mount home works [08:09] ctmjr: Nope [08:09] fahadsadah, -> i guess you're talking about this -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/335047/ [08:09] Linux-CLI: your using gnome? [08:09] yep [08:09] mado: Yes. [08:09] a931bw: you have 'grub' on 9.10, not 'grub2'? [08:10] Probably because of an upgrade? [08:10] mado: Please add "rootdelay=90" to the end of the line beginning "linux" [08:10] If you know GRUB you have to relearn with GRUB2 [08:11] fahadsadah, how come this error occurs in 9.10 again? [08:11] !grub2 [08:11] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:11] idk im total noob on these [08:11] mado: I'm not too sure, to be honest. [08:11] Linux-CLI: look in the main menu under system > administrator > hardware drivers and see if any thing is there [08:12] fahadsadah, -> like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/335050/ [08:12] Yes. [08:12] I hate to be a bother, but I just recently installed Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10. I am able to boot to both operating systems flawlessly, but in the GRUB menu it shows Ubuntu twice. Is there a way to remove the two un-needed listings of Ubuntu? [08:12] Save, and reboot, and you won't see the problem again :) [08:13] really? fahadsadah [08:13] ctmjr: Nup, nothing found [08:13] ok ... but what if i want to boot another kernel? fahadsadah [08:13] then i have to add this "rootdelay=90" again ... haven't i? [08:13] Yes. [08:14] ok ... i will note that ... just a sec [08:14] Razahn: Please install the package "startupmanager" in the Ubuntu Software Center, then go to System->Administration->Startup Manager [08:14] er fahadsadah ? ... do i also have to add "rootdelay=90" to the "recovery mode" ? [08:14] Linux-CLI, sed awk [08:15] Thank you very much. [08:15] mado: Not really [08:15] Because recovery mode is basically that shell prompt you saw there [08:15] But awk is a whole programming language! [08:16] uhuu -> so what does "rootdelay=90" help? fahadsadah ... ... i'm trying to learn more [08:16] mado: It waits a fixed amount of time for your drive [08:16] I think it's 2 seconds [08:16] You have a slow drive [08:16] a slow one? [08:16] So it will wait up to 90 seconds [08:17] Actually, a slow drive controller [08:17] are you talking about the "rpm" ? [08:17] and er ... can i do something about the slow thing?

[10:03] Hi. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 but I can't get any themes to load using emerald theme manager. Can anyone help? [10:03] t3ckn0b0y, slider ? whats the name of the package? [10:03] R1_: emerald is slowly dieing off. You might want to just forget about emerald. [10:03] Dr_Willis: what's replacing it? [10:04] kaduk: gnome-alsamixer [10:04] R1_: and to use emerald, you are using compiz, and set it to use the emerald window decorator? [10:04] ardchoille: nothing. [10:04] !emerald [10:04] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [10:04] t3ckn0b0y, I have it installed !

[10:05] R1_: you are confused about how gnome handles themes.. emerald has emerald themes... gnome/metacity has its own 'themes' [10:05] I dont have ordinary alsa volume slider in my gnome-panel [10:05] Travis1, What you posted above was not a Xorg log. [10:05] how to make it back?> [10:05] R1_: theres not an app for 'theming' you set your window decoration/widgits how you like. [10:06] kaduk: if I were you I'd try: sudo apt-get instal pulseaudio [10:06] R1_: gnome 'themes' are compozed of 'parts' for the various themeable elements. 'window decoration, widgits, icons, and wallpaper/colors' [10:06] hi [10:06] ardchoille, PA is broken [10:06] ahh my bad. Sorry the link is: http://pastebin.com/m58de1f1a [10:06] Dr_Willis, Ohh lol sorry I've been downloading emerald themes and trying to get them to work with gnome. My mistake. Are there also gnome themes out there that have transparency? [10:06] ardchoille, I dont want to use it [10:06] kaduk: ok [10:06] does the asus t91 run ubuntu? [10:06] hy everyone [10:06] ardchoille, it worked before on previous ubuntu versions without this [10:07] ardchoille, so its serious regression [10:07] R1_: yes there are. [10:07] Dr_Willis: Metacity can't handle transparencies, can it? [10:07] R1_: emerald just handles window 'decoration' (the title/border/buttons in the titlebar) [10:07] ardchoille: it has compositing features so it can. [10:08] WelshDragon, does that help? [10:08] ardchoille: but thats turned off by default. [10:08] Dr_Willis, thanks! Also, I found out that the weather report panel app freezes gnome panel... Do you use any weather apps? [10:08] Dr_Willis: yes, but I've never seen any way to tweak the compositing features in mc [10:08] ardchoille: i find this transparancy ussage often makes things less 'useable' for me. [10:08] ditto [10:08] ardchoille, this is pretty common issue that people are removing buggy software like pulseaudio [10:08] ardchoille, http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/remember-remove-pulseaudio-if-using-kubuntu-karmic [10:09] kaduk: I understand [10:09] ardchoille, similar problem to mine, I also experience sound problems [10:09] R1_: i just use the 'docky' docky and its weather app./ or add a firefox exension to get the weather. the weather app in the panel also worked for me. it shows its 28F here. :) [10:09] Travis1, My knowledge of graphics/X is that great.

[10:15] ok so I unstalled Karmic. No working video card. Tried installing the proprietary drivers suggested from Ubuntu Hardware Drivers. No result. Tried following the radeonhd guide in ubuntu community. No result. I've edited the xorg.conf file (with the driver set to radeonhd ubuntu still loads as safe graphics mode. with driver set to radeon, I can't load X - I just get a blank screen) [10:16] *installed (not unstalled) [10:16] ok I will install that then Flannel thanks [10:16] ardchoille, holy crap it finished!!! [10:16] btw what is the root password ?! [10:16] !root | thevishy [10:16] thevishy: 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 [10:16] thevishy, there is none [10:17] !sudo | thevishy [10:17] thevishy: 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) [10:17] right [10:17] so far I've used patches & fixes from some of the ppl on the #radeon channel. they thought it was a grub issue so I added some code to my grub file [10:17] got it [10:17] no change [10:17] so i cant be a root in my system ! [10:18] thevishy: Read the webpage ubottu posted, it will explain things === _kingnerd is now known as kingnerd [10:18] ok [10:18] thevishy: read both texts from ubottu please ^^^ [10:20] greezmunkey: You get my PM? [10:20] does that help WelshDragon at all? hehe [10:20] could anyone please try and help me with a network problem I am having with Karmic... it is NOT the ipv6 issue... [10:21] ardchoille, no, besides, uh how do I do that in irssi again??? [10:21] cryptk_: k. what's up? [10:21] but I am having EXTREMELY slow internet speeds [10:21] greezmunkey: PM me please [10:21] cryptk_: run `mtr google.com` [10:21] AnonYmous, my bandwidth will be fine at first when i boot. If I do a speed test immediately it is great [10:22] ardchoille, I honestly don't know how, is it /msg (nick) [10:22] greezmunkey: /query ardchoille [10:22] hrm... seems I am having some packet loss... [10:22] that does not happen in windows [10:23] cryptk_ : mtr should show hops & throughput on the hops. if it breaks down, it should indicate where on the line it's taking place [10:23] is there a way to confirm that a hard drive is defective? I have a new Western Digital drive that's not showing up in gparted or the BIOS sata bootrom screen [10:23] ok, I will play with it, thanks [10:24] traveller: sorry for the dumb question, but have you checked the cables? [10:24] traveller: if its now showing up in bios.. then thats going tobe tough. :) [10:24] ardchoille, yes [10:24] ok [10:24] traveller: Got the jumpers set correctly? [10:24] * ardchoille is not even sure if hd's still use jumpers [10:25] somehow I've managed to completely screw up my X11/3glx AT Radeon HD 3450 on my karmic-64. how can I **completely** remove, purge, reinstall & reconfigure the entire GUI video stack? [10:25] Dr_Willis, does not showing up in bios be enough confirmation? there's an option to enable sata bootrom in my bios, my old drives show up, but this new one doesn't [10:25] ardchoille, sata drives don't use jumpers anymore [10:25] ah, ok [10:26] traveller: i would pop it into a differnet machine by itself. or on a diffrent port/different cables.. you do hear it spin up? [10:27] Dr_Willis, i can't hear it as the cpu fan is louder, but it does get hot...although i can't be sure if that's just because of heat transfer from my other drives, i've tried different ports, but at the moment have no other computer to try it on [10:28] traveller: how many drives total in that thing? You are not overloading the power supply are you? [10:28] traveller: you could just unplug the other drives and try the new one by itself [10:28] nice, thanks! [10:29] hi. has anyone here tried pybackpack? and in case, is it any good? [10:29] 1 ide drive, 2 sata drives, some 500 W power supply; i've tried with just the ide drive and the new sata drive, still no go; must have the ide because it's got my OS [10:29] Dynetrekk: I used it for a bit and it works great [10:29] g'night ya'll [10:29] c ya [10:30] any 1's internet going slow ere mine is [10:30] ardchoille: right, thanks [10:30] hey, it seems that when I type "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" eth0 still stays up! [10:30] i am on hardy [10:30] traveller: try the drive by iteslf and a live cd :) [10:30] ardchoille: is it incremental backup, or does it just keep a current copy? [10:31] i hate the internet it goes slow does any 1 know how to fix it give me some tips please [10:31] AnonYmous, turns out that the firewall was causing the packet loss... I turned it off for now... internet is still very slow [10:31] traveller: Hard driv3es are the weakest link for the hardware issues ive been having over the past few years. [10:31] Dynetrekk: incremental and it takes care of everything for you. I would, however, keep the backup on a seperate partition if you have one [10:31] is anybody used smartSVN? [10:31] linzi: depends exactly on what is 'slow' - DNS lookups? downloads from ftp sites? flash animation? [10:31] Dr_Willis, oh if you must insist...it's a new drive though, just took it out of its packaging [10:32] ardchoille: external drive, is my plan [10:32] Dynetrekk: Good idea [10:32] ardchoille: great, I'll go try. thanks! [10:32] yw [10:32] time to go down for a reboot [10:32] AnonYmous, my pings are great, if I speed test immediately after boot I get great bandwidth, if I do it again after it is stuck VERY low, at approx 1/5 the bandwidth [10:33] traveller: from the 'studies' ive seen 'infant moratlity' in drives is often a problem. [10:33] If I can't find a solution to my graphics card issue by tomorrow I'll be switching back to windows 7 just so that my display isn't stretched and in low graphics. Which I would hate to do because I'm really liking Ubuntu... [10:33] I don't want improved graphics or anything fancy. I just want my graphics card to work!! [10:33] Dynetrekk, there is something called `back in time`. I did not use it, but sounds promising [10:34] & if you bounce the network interface when things get slow? could be a MTU value misconfig on either the modem, firewall, or client [10:35] is anybody can tell me how to use fontconfig to set fonts? [10:35] Travis1: what's the issue? what's ur setup? [10:35] hey, does anyone knows, what could be the reason tor eth0 adapter to stay upp with its adress, even if I already put it down with ifconfig?

[11:30] Dr_Willis, ive cheched the offline useres to appear [11:30] Tobizion: try videodownloadhelper from addons-firefox [11:32] karthik: lspci? sorry not an expert :/ [11:32] nikola: click on menu -> accessories -> terminal : inside this type the command [11:33] karthik: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650] [1002:9498] [11:34] how can i synchronize my iphone [11:34] Hmmm.. do you think it is advisable to turn off `extent` feature while making new ext4 partition? [11:34] !iphone [11:34] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [11:35] nikolam: if i recall the ext4 wiki page. haveeing that off. makes it more backwards compatable with ext2/3 but ive noidea on any other reasons to disable it [11:36] For some reason, Compiz shuts down when my screen turns off [11:36] nikolam: ' However, if the ext4 partition uses extents (a major new feature of ext4), then the ability to mount the file system as ext3 is lost.' [11:36] Dr_Willis, yes, exactly for that. But I will look for other repercusions of that action, does it reduce speed or roubustness etc [11:37] nikolam: every new livecd/disrto ive tried lately supports ext4.. so only reason i can think of to turn it off is if you are taking some hd out to use in an older system..but then.. you proberly want tojust use ext3 in the first place [11:37] extent -> 'An extent is a contiguous area of storage in a computer file system, reserved for a file. When starting to write to a file, a whole extent is allocated. When writing to the file again, possibly after doing other write operations, the data continues where the previous write left off. This reduces or eliminates file fragmentation and possibly file scattering to' [11:38] Dr_Willis, no, to read ext disk form other systems, windbloes, solaris etc. external os support still lacks behind [11:38] nikolam: looks like reduces fragmention and thus speed gains. [11:38] aha sounds nice === kb is now known as Guest89725 [11:38] maybe even breaking compatibility [11:38] nikolam: if moving the hd about to other OS's - id use ext3. If not.. use ext4 [11:39] one of the issues against converting a ext3 FS to ext4 is that the converted FS wont use extents (from what i read in the forums) [11:39] I gues i will just jump on ext4 and wait for other systems to support it. In meantime, VM might help [11:39] so without extents - stick with ext3 [11:40] Dr_Willis, yes. converted partitions do not use extents [11:40] right. [11:40] ok Dr_Willis thanks for info and chat [11:41] which multipage scan software do you recommend? [11:41] hm, i use just that SANE gui [11:41] quick question - what can I use for concatenating pdfs into a bigger pdf? [11:41] does anyone here use rhythmbox? i imported a folder (wich contains sound files i dont want to hear), and now want to undo this. but there seems no way of doing so - plaese help! [11:42] thechef, define multiply scan [11:42] http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8229-putting-together-pdf-files [11:42] frogzoo1: pdfsam - PDF Split and Merge [11:42] !info joinpdf [11:42] Package joinpdf does not exist in karmic [11:42] !info pdftk [11:42] pdftk (source: pdftk): tool for manipulating PDF documents. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.41+dfsg-1 (karmic), package size 80 kB, installed size 236 kB [11:42] heh, thx llutz [11:42] & benovic [11:43] !info pptpsetup [11:43] Package pptpsetup does not exist in karmic [11:43] frogzoo1: pdfjam should do it too [11:43] oh nice, thx again [11:45] nikolam, multipage scan - i have a scanner where there is a Dokumenteneinzug (something that takes documents in until there is none left) and scans them. However the scan software is required to be compatible with, otherwise it doesn't know how to handle multiple pages. [11:45] Errmm. I got an issue I dunno what I did but now I cant view Video's on youtube or Metacafe.. :S [11:46] thechef, my suggestion when buying hardware to check software support first. If company does not provide linux support, then ask company producer to do that. Or to find you solution for your problem, before you buy hardware [11:47] and i just tried gscan2pdf, but it does an infinite scan with empty pages - either the scanner is defective, or gscan2pdf tries to scan infinitely - so that's why i'm asking for a recommendation, because I want to catch a tested software, that is unlikely to have an error on its side. [11:48] This way you again have multiple solutions, but it would be needed to search and investigate possible solutions for particular hardware. Including, runninsupported software that do just that in Virtualbox [11:48] nikolam - is entirely supported, all checks done. [11:48] what is the deal with cups? [11:48] i havent been able to use it since about 8.10 [11:48] thechef, so actually what do you need? [11:48] this didnt matter when i didnt have printer [11:48] why virtualbox, i don't even know if the scanner hardware is supported on any other operating system than linux [11:48] XcuadOr, did u install the latest Cups? [11:49] nikolam - a good recommondation for a good multipage scanner utility, that is all [11:49] yeah, but every version of ubuntu since 8.04 seems to have been crippled [11:49] thechef, I suggest you make one yourself. Siriously . [11:49] or broken [11:50] maybe its an EEE thing [11:50] no, that cant be true either [11:50] my USB versions are broken too [11:50] even on fresh installs [11:51] nikolam, why that? There are tons of multipage scan programs, i just can't figure out which one is good. I don't want to test each, and I don't want to do one myself, because the effort is probably more than a manweek [11:51] IIRC its something with the encription [11:51] it complains that it cant connect to the local server or something [11:51] thechef, maybe my rpoblem is that I actually do not know any such program for linux atm [11:52] nikolam, there are many, and that's a problem. [11:52] inside grub rescue> ls doesn't list my linux partitions, any idea's? [11:52] etiny [11:52] thechef, it there a list of some kind [11:54] just installed ubuntu 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10...facing problem on minimizing window...

[11:54] if i minimize window it disappears [11:55] G'day everyone [11:55] but if i press Alt + tab...i can get the window back [11:55] pls help [11:56] Greetings from a windows defector, Ubuntu is great! === sumit is now known as Sumit [11:56] Malvulio, :)) [11:56] in ubuntu 9.10 on minimizing window, it disappears... [11:57] alt + tab brings thm back [11:57] Sumit: Do you have a Windows List Applet on your Panel? [11:57] Sumit, What program? [11:57] how to fix the issue?? [11:57] Is there a way to send a message to all my logged on users in my network? I've tried wall, but it doesn't work [11:57] Sum is it on list of apps in panel? [11:57] for all programs... [11:57] What's gdu? [11:57] whats windows list applet? [11:57] maybe you removed list of apps for the panel? try right click and add [11:58] hi all. have stupid question.. how can i check, which memory am i using - its speed and other things? [11:58] Sumit: Right click on your panel, click Add to Panel, find Windows List, and add to it. [12:00] I upgraded to karmic and when asked about the various confs I answered 'default' instead of of Y or I to select the package maintainer's version. Is there a way now to change to the package maintainer's version? [12:01] khensthoth: it worked...but i am getting all the programs docked in the main panel [12:01] researcher11: On the forum, somebody suggested adding the Jaunty repo to the Karmic. Try that see if you could install it. In other words, install the Jaunty version and try it. [12:01] how to add a new panel and doc the applications to new panel? [12:02] Sumit: Right click on your existing Panel, then click Add Panel. Repeat the step just now to the new Panel. [12:02] good morning [12:02] ok got it thanks... === yos_ is now known as Yos === paul__ is now known as PaulD [12:03] hello, which is better, Flash player from the ubuntu respo. or from Adobe's website ? [12:04] how can i COMPLETLY remove a program (including setings) so i can restart from scratch with the program. [12:04] Nalleman, sudo aptitude remove "program" [12:04] pls suggest a good tvtuner application with auto scan... [12:04] or from synaptic package manager click complete removal on the application [12:04] Nalleman: aptitude purge package [12:04] Nalleman: sudo aptitude purge "program" [12:05] oops i thought its remve [12:05] remove* [12:06] Black_Phantom: remove retains the config [12:06] oh ok [12:06] Black_Phantom: Isn't Flash from the Adobe site the same the the same from the official repo? [12:06] i am was using tvtime earlier on linux mint... [12:06] khensthoth, is it ? [12:06] I upgraded to karmic and when asked about the various confs I answered 'default' instead of of Y or I to select the package maintainer's version. Is there a way now to change to the package maintainer's version? [12:06] Black_Phantom: I would assume so. Same version number. [12:06] but on ubuntu it fails to detect any channel [12:07] but wouldnt the ubuntu respo would be optimized or something [12:07] where would be the best place to ask about TV card watching ? [12:07] who cares i will just install it [12:08] has anyone heard anything about ubunto getting a shockwave pluggin for firefox? [12:08] whats went wrong in ubuntu 9.10 [12:08] it seems mt tvtuner card gets detected ootb... [12:09] er, ubuntu. I dont understand why adobe put out a flash one and not a shockwave one when they are nearly the same thing but both are equally as common on webpages [12:09] but application fails to detect any cahnnel === sale_ is now known as sale [12:09] update-grub error with "cannot find partitions" [12:09] Sumit: I have the same issue [12:09] anyone know a good applet for gnome panel to show free space of /home ??? [12:09] Black_Phantom: Actually, the description of the Flash plugin in the repo does say that they just get it from Adobe's website. [12:10] It doesn't help. even purging does not takes me back to "first try" state when reinstalling program. [12:10] khensthoth, oh i see [12:11] If I change my desktop manager from Gnome to blackbox, will the system sun noticably faster even if there are Gnome libraries installed to enable running gnome applications in Blackbox? [12:11] Nalleman: what package? [12:11] digikam [12:11] noticeably [12:11] sun=run [12:12] btw there is ext5 lol [12:12] I upgraded to karmic and when asked about the various confs I answered 'default' instead of of Y or I to select the package maintainer's version. Is there a way now to change to the package maintainer's version? Does this question make sense? [12:12] ? [12:12] hi, i'm searching for a GTK METACITY theme whick looks like windows classic style, any links? [12:12] What's LXtst? [12:13] is there any way to regenerate the nautilus video thumbnails? [12:13] Nalleman: you colud try apt-get purge too, I've seen cases where aptitude didn't exactly "purge" [12:13] I am advised to install the Jaunty version to install http://www.mendeley.com/repositories/xUbuntu_9.04. on UBUNTU 9.10. My other programs available are under 8.10,7.10 etc. Any simpler way? Building new repository through Synaptic? [12:14] Is there any reason to prefer flash-nonfree-extrasound over the simple flash-nonfree? [12:14] (for firefox) [12:15] magnetron: If some thumbnails are malformed, you could delete the folder .thumbnails/fail in your home folder to reload the thumbnail. [12:15] ManDay: its all personal, pick what works for you [12:15] hi, i'm searching for a GTK METACITY theme which looks like windows classic style, any links? [12:15] i didnt really want to try them out that much [12:15] researcher1: What programs do you need to install? [12:15] is there anything problematic about the original flash-nonfree? [12:16] no idea [12:16] does the upgrade to 9.10 require a full cd iso-size download or does it upgrade parts of a current install? [12:16] klunka: Not sure if this is what you wish to do, or if it will help you, but try looking up on dpkg-reconfigure. [12:16] !fingerprint [12:16] Malvulio: why not upgrade from the system itself? [12:17] I've tried to use UCK in ubuntu 9.10, but it doesn't work. it don't want to recognize any ubuntu image. it writes "... does not seem to be a valid ISO9660 image" any solves?

LS doesn't list my partitions either. Please help [12:30] Narusegawa: fdisk /dev/sda [12:30] that will list all partitions on your 1st hard disk [12:30] Quan-Time: fdisk /dev/sda lists all my partitions, however in the grub rescue ls only lists the first 2 [12:30] you can also set active partition for booting [12:31] Narusegawa: ah.. ok. so you cant boot that system ? [12:31] Quan-Time: i can't boot anything now except livee-cd [12:31] kk. boot a liveCD, get to term, fdisk.. see whats there [12:32] Quan-Time: i have sda1 ntfs, sda2 is logical, sda6 as swap and sda7 as / (ext3) [12:32] I'm working with Karmic Koala, Ubuntu Netbook Remix. All I really want is to get wifi working, but I'm having a lot of trouble with the GUI tools, at least. What's the best way to bootstrap this? [12:32] Narusegawa: ok.. dual booting ? what OS are you dualing with ? [12:32] Quan-Time: Win7 [12:32] I've read that I should put "setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"" in a file ~/.xinit to make Caps-Lock Ctrl permanently but it didn't work. which filename would be right? (I'm using xfce) [12:33] Narusegawa: ok.. i dual win7 too.. what was installed first ? win7 or ubuntu [12:34] Quan-Time: Win7 was there first [12:34] hi there . right comand for mount /usr if is in separate partition is " mount -o bind dev/i2o/hda5 /mnt/rescue/usr " or is enough " mount dev/i2o/hda5 /mnt/rescue/usr " ? i did it after a crash [12:35] google tries to force users to use the google chrome changing the source code of their page.

Help please. [12:36] it normal for pulse audio to take over 20 percent cpu? [12:36] sddf, depends on the cpu ;) [12:36] researcher1: The application over there should be in the repository. What application is it that you wish to install? [12:36] alright, so that worked. sort of. I have window decorators now and I can boot into a standard gnome session but now I don't have any app menues. copied one from root, hopefully that'll do it. now I just need to find out how to restart gnome or log myself out from the terminal [12:37] ok, I know I'm asking a FAQ about getting wifi started, but I don't have any other internet capability right now (on the machine in question). so getting a graphical tool like wifi radar, from ethernet, not so easy [12:37] I want everything under the heading Engineering Sciences on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience [12:38] albech, i think its 2 ghz , could be horribly wrong [12:38] albech, any magic command that will tell me my cpu? [12:39] sddf: cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:39] researcher1: The fastest and easiest way is through the command line in the terminal. However, if you are not familiar with that, you can just search for the name of the application in Ubuntu Software Center. It's should be the last entry in the menu when you click on Applications. [12:40] I know command line [12:40] it normal for pule audio to take over 20 % cpu , my cpu is cpu MHz 1000.000 [12:41] researcher1: Only Qcad and Varkon seem to be in the official repo and you can install that through sudo apt-get install qcad varkon [12:41] But when I install from Synaptic its successful but when I work from Command line I get error as if failing to fetch [12:42] I have vacron and QCad installed [12:42] I've read that I should put "setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"" in a file ~/.xinit to make Caps-Lock Ctrl permanently but it didn't work. which filename would be right?

[12:44] S0LIDUS: of course it will [12:44] researcher1: Unfortunately, apart from QCad and Varkon, you can't get the others from Synaptic - unless they provide a repository which you can add to your list. [12:44] ok [12:44] frogzoo, that is good to know! And I imagine better GPU support. [12:44] On a laptop with Windows Vista (/dev/sda3) I first installed Windows XP (/dev/sda2) and then Ubuntu (/dev/sda5).

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [12:49] researcher1: If they provide a .deb, it's better if you download that. If they only have .tar.gz you might need to compile it on your own, or they have their ways of installing. Usually instruction for installation is included in the tar.gz [12:49] researcher1: you can add additional repositories. If the software you want/need is not offered through any repository then you have to download single packages and/or source code [12:50] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [12:50] ok.thanks [12:50] frogzoo: these is "sshd_config" what kind of file it is? i cannot run it eaither edit it [12:51] researcher1: however, installing through those options might get tricky/difficult, since those options do not offer the necessary dependancies.

In alsamixer, see the row "View:" which is highlighted. That will tell you which tab you are. [14:49] Roasted, that basically releases/renews your dhcp lease. So whatever your router/switch has free it will give it that address. [14:49] dink - that aint makin sense bro, my router supports up to 50 IPs from what I understand, and these 2 machines arent getting them [14:50] jonzbcc, What if I wanted to see all drives and what they were formatted to? Another example.. sda1 ext4 sda2 swap etc [14:50] the only thing I can think of is I updated both machines last night [14:50] khensthoth oh yeah, i never saw that , thanks [14:50] bazhang, i already installed apache2 php and mysql manually , now I tried sudo tasksel install lamp-server , but it goes to install window ( it opens some text based gui )and then quits immediately [14:51] Roasted, Is it just those two machines that can't connect on the route ? Are there other machines on the router that do connect ? [14:51] mrXX: =) As I said, When you want to adjust the volume for Input, go to the Capture tab. Don't mess with anything in the Playback tab.

[15:22] ActionParsnip: Ofcourse, sometimes / mounts OK but not /home .. so i ran 'fdisk -l' and the corresponding harddrive is missing from the list === uzmanium is now known as Salih [15:23] nztal: should be easy to check what you sent it to. Anyway ask google nicely not to index it and ask the list maintainer nicely if there is anything he can do. But it seems like you sent it to a public mailing list (since google indexed it) [15:23] After a reboot it works OK. I have the same machine dualbooted with Windows.. never have any problems there. Also the problem did not excist before the upgrade to 9.10 [15:23] adac: this is in sysv-rc-conf? [15:23] jrib, yes [15:23] <_talon> how can I share my internet connection with other computers using my wireless card in 9.10? [15:23] petur_: you dont mount disks, you mount partitions [15:23] adac: well see what x11 is. I haven't done this in karmic [15:23] is it possible to have two views open at the same time in nautilus side panel, like for example be able to have both places and the tree open at the same time (like in dolphin for example) [15:24] ActionParsnip: Figure of speech, the drive has a single partition [15:24] adac: it may be that it gets started differently using upstart now (I don't know) [15:24] Third day I try to configure my raid1, still have problems (md0 status clean, degraded), but I discovered today, that gparted shows me "/dev/mapper/nvidia_eeefjace" as the first device. When tried dmraid -r command, it shows me /dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_eeefjace", mirror, ok, 625142446 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_eeefjace", mirror, ok, 625142446 sectors, data@ 0. Is that mean that I have fakeraid configured? I set RAID to IDE [15:24] in BIOS so I thought that hardware raid is disabled and tried to install software raid1 with alternate 9.10 installer. Shoult I be happy or worried? :) [15:24] jrib, its x11-common. Well I try to untick that too. Strange noone is able to tell me how to do that in karmic ;) [15:24] petur_: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local I suggest you add a line: mount -a this will make the umounted partitions mount. Maybe the controller comes up after the fstab is processed. Its an incorrect figure of speech [15:24] adac: read the what the script does [15:25] adac: I've found some posts saying gdm is now started by upstart [15:25] # /etc/init.d/x11-common: set up the X server and ICE socket directories [15:25] ActionParsnip: I tried, but from what i can see from the output of 'fdisk -l' the drive is missing, after reboot it works ok tho [15:26] petur_: then reboot and read: dmesg | less see whats happening [15:26] i i wanted to debug in VS2008 but i want to pass parameters to it i meAN *argv[] [15:26] how 2 test ? [15:26] tried to stop and startx told me to use the service 8 command so I did,but no luck. again hear it logon and boot but no X nothing but black still [15:26] jrib, Iok how do i disable gdm in upstart then? Doesn't upstart has its scripts also in /etc/init.d/ ? [15:26] petur_: obv use it when the disk is not detected [15:26] adac: I thought it was /etc/event.d [15:26] hi everyone, [15:27] Ok, good idea [15:27] adac: again, this is all pre-9.10 [15:27] Hey guys anyone had trouble with driver wrapping for broadcom chipsets? [15:27] Hello, Wireless networking question, I've entered my wireless net WEP key and configured for the SSID, but I still can not get a connection. This is on a toshiba laptop w/ Realtek RTL8191SE w-lan [15:28] jrib, I see. Well I leave it for now and ask in a month again then :) [15:28] jrib, but first i try to uncheck x11-common [15:28] :) [15:28] adac: well did you check /etc/event.d? [15:28] _talon: do you want the other machines to connect to connect to the ubuntu box via wireless? [15:28] Is there anything bad with running a service in a screen? [15:29] Djarrum: does: sudo iwlist scan show ESSIDs?

[15:29] ActionParsnip: It's an IRC bot. So keeping it connected 24/7 using screen is fine? I always thought that was frowned on or something. [15:29] rc0, rc1.... [15:29] jrib, ^^ [15:29] adac: the concept of runlevels doesn't exist in upstart afaik [15:30] jrib, that is the conent of /etc/event.d : control-alt-delete last-good-boot logd rc0 rc1 rc2 rc3 rc4 rc5 rc6 rc-default rcS rcS-sulogin sulogin tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 [15:30] anyone know how to make my usb mic in stay as the default nomatter what [15:30] *content [15:30] rashed2020: sure, its just a way to get multiple terminals on one tab etc, provided the screen session lives it will run in the background [15:30] ActionParsnip, says lo & eth0 doesn't support scanning [15:31] adac: are those actually directories?

Then type "less README" [15:40] d4n1s, if you want to compile use slackware, one of the plusses of a debian-based distro (like ubuntu) is that you can install stuff with one go [15:40] brahmana: theres the alternate ISO which uses a text based installer but achieves the same end [15:40] brahmana: you can use custom partitioning in ubuntu and use / format the existing partition layout [15:40] brahmana: you could use the minimal install to have a commandline so you can manually install everything [15:40] can anyone help me with compiz? i changing appearance visual effects to normal/extra but it goes back without changing [15:40] ActionParsnip: So there is no way for me to do the installation from command line with the disk that I have got?

[16:51] tapas: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [16:51] not 3.x [16:51] but during configure it says tcl not found [16:51] tapas: daily builds gives you 3.1 [16:51] kazaa_lite: ubuntu uses apparmor not selinux [16:51] merciless: try doing a google search 'no usb ubuntu' state your hardware [16:51] jdahm: :-), but !enter still applies :-) [16:52] SOLIDUS; i am not sure.... i haven't faced this problem before [16:52] tapas: or 3.0 [16:52] tapas: both are on there [16:52] ActionParsnip: ok, cool, will check it out.. what's the chances of this surviving an upgrade to the next ubuntu release [16:52] jrib: is apparmor enabled by default?

Then give that a go. [16:52] How [16:52] Camel: you will get about 120Mb per kernel [16:53] kazaa_lite: support for it is. I'm not sure if it ships with any profiles by default (check /etc/apparmor.d) [16:53] tapas: https://launchpad.net/~fta/+archive/ppa maybe [16:53] Camel: uname -a will show you the current kernel (Bdo NOT remove this) [16:53] SOLIDUS; no i dont have...and i have important data...and i can't lose it [16:53] kazaa_lite: here you go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/AppArmorProfiles [16:53] well, the reason for me asking about a newer thunderbird is this: [16:53] http://tapas.affenbande.org/thunderbird_scrollbar.png [16:53] Camel: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image you will see the installed kernels, uninstall the ones you do not need with: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image - [16:54] thunderbird in ubuntu doesn't show the scrollbar in the message view when not vertically maximized [16:54] merciless, Give me a sec!

[16:55] tapas: you seem to be using awesome, so don't you have a fullscreen mode? [16:55] papul: you may have to symlink to "make" the file [16:55] ActionParsnip, searching hangs my sys [16:55] merciless, Ok!

I enter pass and it just stays there.. [16:56] armornick: but since every other app, even firefox works well, when not maximized i suspect a thunderbird bug [16:56] ActionParsnip, yup [16:56] kazaa_lite: I see [16:56] papul: wow crazy [16:56] tapas: oh, okay [16:56] armornick: you see how firefox for example shows its scrollbar ok? [16:56] ActionParsnip, my sys is real old [16:56] ActionParsnip, it has worked in the past.. maybe an upgrade futz`d it [16:56] as opposed to thunderbird's message view [16:57] papul: try in cd /usr/lib; ls tc* [16:57] i did that [16:57] tapas: like they said, try the latest build from the site [16:57] papul: see if its there in some guise (like libtcl8.4.so.0) [16:57] SOLIDUS; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335348/ [16:57] ok [16:57] duffydack: not sure, not done anything like that [16:57] armornick: will do.,. i hope this doesn't trash my folders in any way :( [16:57] Hello all... [16:58] : ) [16:58] tapas: back up .thunderbird first then [16:58] papul: if its there like that you can create a symlink to make the filename exist even though its a link to the other file [16:58] ActionParsnip, in /lib if i type libtc and then press tab nothing comes up [16:58] !hi | stratus [16:58] stratus: Hi!

I was hoping it might speed it up even more and prevent my system from freezing as often as it does. [17:03] actually actionparsnip [17:04] guntbert, ah thank you. im concerned that ubuntu is caching the disk, and any virtual machines running under ubuntu are also caching the same data [17:04] ActionParsnip Thanks, shoot [17:04] you cant install it ON ntfs. you can overwrite the NTFS with EXT3 or whatever filesystem ubuntu uses [17:04] merciless, sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/usb fat32 [17:04] prappl93: it might speed up. it might add support to your hardware (drivers) [17:04] CkhiKuzad: yes then its installed on ext3 isnt it, not ntfs [17:05] CkhiKuzad, If its 9.10 its not EXT3 its EXT4 [17:05] ActionParsnip: i plan to install it through booting from the CD, and install it on my storage hard drive [17:05] prappl93 o.0 i dont think my computer will support ext4 [17:05] ljsoftnet: you'd have to format the partition to ntfs (and lose the data on it) [17:05] SOLIDUS; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335355/ [17:05] where is the log that tells me why tcp connections fail on my server for several minutes before coming back up. during this time i can still ping [17:06] ljsoftnet, also you should copy everything you have to a thumb drive if you are doing a full format and install [17:06] prappl93: only by default, you can use ext3 if you wish using custom partitioning [17:06] craig_: I see, but as I see it the memory management in linux is *really* good - so I wouldn't worry - have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [17:06] but thats just common sense [17:06] prappl93: so it can be either if its 9.10 [17:07] ActionParsnip: is there another way to format, just the size of the partition to NTFS? i was just wondering [17:07] merciless, Sorry - sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sdc /media/usb [17:07] ljsoftnet: you can resize partitions [17:07] SOLIDUS; mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32' [17:07] Is there a page with requirements for EXT4?

[17:38] http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/i810.4.html [17:38] merciless, you said something about viruses [17:39] CkhiKuzad: that's not much information, is it? GNOME and KDE don't take up very different amounts of resources. [17:39] merciless, so I dont want the virus to have any network upperhand [17:39] mka2; ya the system in which we inserted had virus [17:39] well gnome works pretty well on my system [17:39] hi , i cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ? [17:39] mka2: just for some feedback, the Ubuntu 8.04 ISO installs correctly without any issue. so this really is a bug with the installer on 9.10 [17:39] CkhiKuzad: then no reason KDE wouldn't do likewise, methinks [17:40] Gnome and KDE take about 256 megs.. where as Vista takes 800 [17:40] so its kubuntu-desktop right? [17:40] ActionParsnip : was a few perl warnings but looks like no errors [17:40] CkhiKuzad: yes, though kubuntu-desktop won't install just KDE, but also all the KDE programs included with Kubuntu [17:40] crap [17:40] CkhiKuzad: those are really mostly part of KDE, though. [17:40] the last time i installed KDE, i didnt like it, and when i uninstalled it all the K programs were left [17:40] ActionParsnip : still there is an error with modprobe in loading Nvidia module [17:41] you can run gnome apps in KDE and KDE apps in Gnome... [17:41] CkhiKuzad: then you didn't really uninstall it [17:41] geomi: before you say so, do you "dd" of your disk and an "md5sum" of your resulting ISO and then check against the MD5SUMS on the ubuntu.com release web page [17:41] and 'apt-get autoremove' didnt get rid of them [17:41] !kubuntu-desktop | CkhiKuzad [17:41] CkhiKuzad: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [17:41] CkhiKuzad: you can't just remove the metapackage to remove the whole thing. you have to either make good use of the "autoremove" feature of APT, or remove the core libraries [17:42] !puregnome | CkhiKuzad [17:42] CkhiKuzad: 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 [17:42] mka2: i used dd on my /dev/sda while using the 9.10 livecd, both to read from it, and to write zeroes to it to wipe the partition table that existed [17:42] geomi, the ubuntu md5sums web URL is: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/MD5SUMS [17:42] remove a core package and that will remove apps that depended on them, [17:42] thanks Ljl [17:42] how to fix problem with auto loading subtitles in totem ubuntu 9.10 [17:42] that explains most of what i was wondering [17:42] everibody knows about it [17:42] cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ?

[17:43] mka2: i already did a cd check, its not a cd read error. those are easy to detect the cdrom drive will spin up and down and it will take a long time.. none of that is the case here. its a software bug/regression in the ubuntu installer [17:43] ActionParsnip : still there is an error with modprobe in loading Nvidia module " invalid option 'Q' [17:43] geomi, how did you do a CD check? [17:43] mka2: using the menu option Check for CD defects [17:44] as far as i know, that uses md5/SHA checksums too [17:44] geomi, that is not convincing [17:44] also i have another question, this is just based on opinions of people (im trying to make sure it is better because other people who have used it) [17:44] UHmmmmm H [17:44] should i use KDM or GDM?

[17:44] geomi, yes you are right but it uses md5sums on files inside the cd, not the iso as a whole [17:44] !intel [17:44] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

I need some help >> [17:45] i thought "Check CD for defects" just checked the MD5 of the disc.

[18:20] mav: Good luck :-) [18:20] guntbert: thanks.. [18:21] burg: Is your ethernet wire connected to a router or a modem? In other words, do you use a router to dynamically issue IP address to clients connected to it? [18:21] swedemike: chkdisk kinda did the same..it dosent read each file..

What would be the best way to achieve this? [18:27] I have a box that I am forced to run Ubuntu in VMWare.

I had 5 partitions and some free space. I tried to create a partition in the free space, hit apply, and GParted died. And now it cant see any partitions.

[20:03] As I don [20:03] Dr:willis: I searched for a solution since I upgraded (3 months ago) cant find anything that helps me-- only that it doesn't really work, but appreently there is a Radeon-driver workaround [20:03] dr_willis - I dont know whats going on man. Sometimes it boots to terminal only mode, other times it doesnt. I guess Ima just crash it and redo it. [20:03] mr2pek2: i gave up on ati some 3+ yrs ago. So thats about all i know on the topic. [20:03] Bad luck, this morning just tried an usb wifi card and worked right out-of-the-box === Steffy is now known as Guest41677 [20:03] Roasted: some times it boots to X sucessfully and some times it dosent? [20:03] I'm having a heck of a time getting software suspend working. I installed ubuntu 32bit on an ide drive, suspend worked fine. Installed on 64bit on a sata drive and it wouldn't resume. Installed 32bit on my sata drive and it resumes, but it seems the hard drive doesn't resume [20:04] Dr_Willis I guess most people did ^^ but I am stuck with my ati-card in my notebook^^ [20:04] Roasted did you get any error when the boot hangs ? [20:04] it's screwed up some of my config files [20:04] Does anyone know a workaround for a ATI R500 Chip (X1300) under Jaunty??? === Guest41677 is now known as Steffy [20:04] and everything's really weird when I resume, I can't run any programs, I get cannot execute binary file [20:04] rivoot - I got a low resolution error one time, when I selected to boot into low graphics mode, it did nothing, sat at a black screen [20:04] I can't even shutdown properly after resuming [20:04] dr_willis - yeah, its weird. Sometimes it asks for a login as if I have ubuntu server installed - but I dont. [20:04] Does anyone know a workaround for a ATI R500 Chip (X1300) under Jaunty??? Maybe a radeon workaround??? [20:05] Im just gonna boot to a live cd and move my stuff to my server through the livecd gui. [20:05] why do you think gnome backfired tho? All I did was apt-get install ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu and now its giving me the finger. [20:05] My network manager tries to connect to my DSL modem through wifi but then message comes:"wireless connection is disconnected". I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my machine. Please help [20:05] Roasted: You mean to say it just dosent start up gdm/X :) you could try the 'startx' command and look for error messages. but somthing does seem weird === TorontoHairy is now known as TorontoM58 [20:06] luomo: if you right click on networkmanager there's a little checkbox that says "enable wireless", is that checked? [20:06] dr_willis - yeah man, lemme try startx quick, if that fails Im nuking this thing. Its my spare rig anyway, no big deal, I use it for testing. Just sucks I did such a simple thing and gnome borked it all. [20:06] #poznań [20:06] Roasted: i doubt if it had much to do with ubuntu-desktop gettting installed. proberly some deeper issue going on [20:06] dr_willis - I had this system running with kubuntu for about 2 months now, no problems. [20:07] Roasted If it just starts with Comand line, try writing Init 5 and see what happens, [20:07] dr_willis - I instal ubuntu desktop, log out, select gnome, log in, and now the entire thing is FUBARd. I cant even get into kde. [20:07] yes that box is checked [20:07] dr_willis - I dont know what else I COULD blame. Stable system. Rock solid. Added Gnome. Crash. Pretty black and white. :( [20:07] the best you can do though, it's a clean new installation [20:08] JT|mini:yes that box is checked [20:08] Roasted I would recommend you just pick gnome or kde and stick with it x) [20:08] vous aimez les brocolis?

[20:09] !runlevel | rivoot init 5 won't change anything [20:09] rivoot init 5 won't change anything: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [20:09] <_ope_> hi [20:09] Rivoot, what model is the usb card you used? [20:09] rivoot - but, theres official guides, ACTUAL guides, that say oh hey you can install gnome and kde and select it at the login screen. [20:10] rivoot - I t's not like I'm performing surgery on my OS. I'm doing soemthing that is posted to be a valid choice for people who want to tinker with KDE and Gnome. [20:10] <_ope_> anyone run into an issue with ubuntu 9.10 all of a sudden when it loads says cant load x on display 0 and uses 1 instead in low graphics mode [20:10] rivoot - just sticking with one is something developers should be saying IF this isnt a good option to do, but theyre not, they seem to encourage it [20:10] Happehwalrus I don't remember, some friend lent it me for a while [20:10] trying to connect to a network printer that is behind a router, will DMZ work? [20:11] Newbuntu2: Does playing the same audio in other audio player works? [20:11] Roasted But when you do it, you get this kind of issues >.< , I'm not saying you can't, but I prefer having just one [20:11] hi [20:11] rivoot - well, thats why I have ubuntu on a 20gb partitiona nd kubuntu on a 20gb partition, sharing the same home directory on my main rig. [20:11] rivoot - this is just my spare rig I was trying to tinker with. [20:11] scribawf: Which version of grub are you using? [20:12] rivoot - simply becuase Im a long time gnome user who has been playing with kde and I cant decide which I like more.

I liked it, but not enough to leave my beloved gnome xD [20:13] Narusegawa, huh? that's just a new name for the package that used to be called msttcorefonts [20:13] I had* [20:13] naming conventions [20:13] khensthoth: the same mp3 plays by default on totem movie player just fine [20:13] mipsirv so now i, i can't install the propreritary driver, since the Catalyst 9.03 driver is not supported anymore in the new X [20:13] rivoot: indeed - and ubuntu is a bit peculiar in that regard - thats why it got my attention :-) [20:13] hmm.. i have an HD3200...

[20:17] Hey guys, everytime i start ubuntu, the tasturlayout changes from german to american, what to do _ [20:17] no [20:18] so.. you can probably use volume groups for the linux-based distros and partitions for the bsd [20:18] you can have 3 primary + logical on one hd or you can have 4 primary... the extended takes one of the primary places [20:18] but i doubt you will fit them all if you do a full install complete with ide [20:18] khensthoth: ok... 110MB, so it'll be a few mins. should that take care of it? [20:18] Thanks for the info mipsirv [20:18] i'll just go buy another hdd [20:18] stick with ubuntu :) [20:18] In 9.04 can I increase the 'resolution' of the volume control, i.e how much the volume goes up/down at each step?

[20:30] silve3r00t: what are your hardware specs? [20:30] silv3r00t Have you checked your cd? [20:30] in gnome there is an add option to add the image to the directory [20:30] boris-migs: what wallpaper directory? If you mean the 'system' directory /usr/share/whatever its because its a system dir. and not writeable by users [20:30] #ubuntu-br [20:31] so how do I make it so i can writeable? [20:31] gnome desktop right click and change background has this option [20:31] Algum br? [20:31] i think u can write as a root [20:31] with sudo command [20:31] !br | hian [20:31] hian: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:31] boris, save them in your Pictures directory and add them manually 8) [20:31] mipsirv: libnotify is the library. And notification-daemon with notify-osd are two of the daemons that show the actual popups. notify-osd shows pretty black ones, notification-daemon is older but still used sometimes.

[20:33] Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location. [20:33] boris-migs: first you need to save the image to a directory somewhere and then: sudo cp /path/image.ext /usr/share/backgrounds [20:33] mikejet: it's looking for Windows Media Speech something... no work here either [20:33] im new to ubuntu [20:33] How can I get both Analog AND Digital IEC958 output?

I've had linux before and it allowed me to save images directly without using a terminal [20:34] grawity: so it is up to the app on which one is used? [20:34] paschu: System / Administration / Hardware Drivers [20:34] yes [20:34] ubuntu has some privileges with such things I suppose [20:34] boris-migs: its the fact that youre trying to put the the image in a root-owned directory [20:34] mipsirv: Well, Ubuntu only comes with notify-osd [20:34] this guy claims to have fixed the problem, but this isn't working: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437980 [20:34] why am i not granted the privilege to manipulate my directories as i like?

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.

[20:43] in terminal [20:43] boris-migs: several people have told you how to use sudo, please listen when someone gives you an answer [20:43] boris-migs: if that works.. check permissions on the other dierctories. === Ubuntubruger8 is now known as prowst [20:44] konbon, and then? [20:44] dr_willis, yea it works when i save it to other directories but i need it in the wallpapers folder so i can set it up as my desktop wallpaper [20:44] boris-migs: that path seems a little extreme. [20:44] bye [20:44] boris-migs: you can set it up as wallpaper. no matter where its saved to. [20:44] paschu: log off, log back on and try the game [20:44] dr_willis, how do i do that? [20:45] dr_willies, when i right click on the desktop i go to preferences and wallpapers and it doesnt give me an option to browse other folders [20:45] boris-migs: double click on the image and the default image viewer tool has an option in itss menus.. Or use the 'add' button in the change wallpaper tool. [20:45] boris-migs: or jusst try drag/dropping it to the wallpaper toolwindoes [20:46] dr_willies, yea i save the image into another directory(which works) then i open two file managers and try to drag and drop and it tells me a different error message "permission denied" [20:46] ok im bak [20:46] rebooting does fix the panic === andrew_ is now known as Guest11061 [20:47] boris-migs, why not just change the permissions of /home/boris-migs/images/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds ? [20:47] it panics evrytime i reboot [20:47] how do i do that [20:47] chmod or chown [20:47] chmod? [20:47] sudo chown -R /home/boris-migs/images/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds && sudo chmod -R 770 /home/boris-migs/images/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds [20:47] ollie, so i go into the terminal and type chmod. is that it? [20:48] ollie, holy crap thats alot of writing. do i have to write that everytime i want to save an image? [20:48] i get kernel panics everytime o boot! [20:48] that would give you read/write access to it, assuming your the owner [20:48] no, just the once [20:48] ollie, dude that is gay. [20:48] ollie, do you got any better advice? [20:48] Ollie: You forgot that 'chown' requires to specify the user:group. [20:48] Guest11061: have you been Guest50467 ? [20:48] borings-migs: i suggest you rewrite your kernel to avoid permissions on /home/borings-migs/images/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds [20:48] yes [20:49] boris-migs: Uh, learn to copy-paste. [20:49] why does it keep renaming me [20:49] how to run a file from terminal? i have a file of 30 lines instalation for haskel and its IDE [20:49] hah yeah, i forgot the user:group. === miguel is now known as Guest32614 [20:49] Does anyone here have "button extension" btnx in use ? [20:49] Guest11061: you are not registered with freenode? [20:49] boris-migs, copypaste this: sudo chown -R boris-migs:boris-migs /home/boris-migs/images/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds && sudo chmod -R 770 /home/boris-migs/images/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds [20:49] oh [20:49] damn i cant believe linux has so many restrictions, i mean FFS i am just trying to save an image off the web [20:50] boris-migs: you some how made some directories that got the wrong permissions/ownership. where did you get the path /home/boris-migs/imatges/wallpapers/shared/backgrounds from? [20:50] im having a problem with ebox not showing right [20:50] how to run a file from terminal? i have a file of 30 lines instalation for haskel and its IDE [20:50] do u have any idea on my kernel panic problems? [20:50] running the rt kernel with JACK .. my mouse is now really slow .. is there a way that I can restart the mouse stuff without rebooting? [20:50] No such daemon: ebox.apache2-user [20:50] even when I stop JACK my mouse is borked [20:50] dr_willis i dont know man, i just barely installed linux today [20:50] paschu: everything better now? [20:51] konbon, im still trying out [20:51] I need some help using mysql on ubuntu server edition - not sure how to get to the promt, giving me errors such as "can't use socket" [20:51] Guest11061: about your kernel panic: try to tell us as much as possible about the lines before that panic [20:51] boris-migs: then its very likely you are doing somthing very basic wrong. I suggest exploring linux a bit more and learning how the filesystem is laid out. [20:51] ollie, i cant copy and paste that when i right click it doesnt give me an option to copy. is there another way? [20:51] boris-migs: that path you give makes no sence. [20:51] Y_Guy, maybe something is already running there (guess) [20:51] scalaLove: ./filename if it is set to executable, but haskell is in the repos if you want it (sudo apt-get install hugs; or sudo apt-get install ghc6) [20:51] boris-migs, xchat auto copies into the clipboard selected text [20:51] Y_guy you trying to connect to server from another machine ? [20:51] boris-migs: I keep all my user wallpapers in /home/USERNAME/wallpapers [20:52] yes im remote [20:52] I guess I will have to reboot or I can restart the mouse infrastructure? [20:52] trism haskell is in repos yes but i want ide [20:52] Dr_willis that path i gave you is copy and pasted from an error message, i am using crunchbang linux if that makes a difference [20:52] konbon, Its just a little bit better ... a little little bit [20:52] scalaLove: what is the name of the ide? [20:52] then you need to lift restriction of "localhost" only connections [20:52] scalaLove, vim is the IDE for all time [20:52] what's the command to do so? [20:52] boris-migs: Theres no real reason to keep them in that place. Make a wallpapers directory, and copy them to it. [20:52] when i boot ubuntu i get this: 1. bios screen. 2. blinking white cursor 3. white ubuntu logo 4. blinking cursor. 5. 2 frozen cursors, one on the side, another in the middle. [20:52] leksah [20:52] konbon, The sound is lagging too [20:52] Does ubuntu generally support integrated audio chipsets? [20:53] yes [20:53] skyl isnt netbeans better? [20:53] boris-migs: i suggest using the normal ubuntu also, and not using crunchbang [20:53] my jaunty install won't install any kernel past 2.6.28-15-generic. well, if I do uname -r, it shows that kernel but when I run apt-get update, it fails to install -15, -16, and -17. i can post log's if needed. any thoughts? [20:53] Hi, I'm trying out ekiga on ubuntu 9.04 and I can't connect to the echo test. It doesn't give an error or anything.. I was able to call my laptop, but I think maby that was direct through some auto discovery stuff.. [20:53] dr_willies so what you are saying is to delete the current wallpaper directory and remake another one then try copying into it? [20:53] bllz: yes. a great many of them [20:53] you need to edit mysql config file, usually in /etc/mysql and look for "bind address", you can get more information with man mysql [20:53] thanks furythor [20:53] scalaLove, I don't know, but I would never admit that any mechanism for editing text is superior to vim and the gnu-linux command line [20:53] Dr_Willis: okay thanks! Is there a place where I can check if my chipset is supported? [20:53] dr_willis, what are the advantages of using ubuntu rather than crunchbang? [20:53] np [20:53] bllz i guess it depends on the chipset [20:53] boris-migs: just make a directory in your home dir called 'wallpapers' and keep the stuff there. But i dont use crunchbang it could be they got some special stuff setup.

Sometimes you'll have some options during the configure part, but the install instructions file will give you all those options.

[21:49] riddlebox: That's a personal preference thing. try it out on Ubuntu first, or maybe download their ISO and try it out in VirtualBox. [21:49] Adantan_Alex: what are you trying to accomplish?

You will then be able to get to your desktop using « cd ~/Desktop » [21:52] elnovato: will any user connecting to the FTP server also have a login on the system itself?

[21:55] guntbert: this is for the rsync command [21:55] guntbert: will the rysnc log help [21:55] MenZa: well, more like comparing vista to 7 [21:55] MenZa: and linxeh im talking about a minimal install, so no graphical interface aka desktop [21:55] linxeh: I disagree heavily.

[21:55] MenZa: why? 6.06 is 2006 (Vista), 9.10 was released the same time as 7 [21:56] friends don't let friends use Vista in analogies. [21:56] linxeh: We've made much more progress in that time.

[22:12] souler: i checked the site you linked, and it seems the download for the fonts is a script you need to run to install the fonts. [22:12] is there a way to limit cpu utilization for a given command? [22:12] souler: while being on the download page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/artwizaleczapka/files/) don't hit the first big button you see, scroll a little down [22:12] iceroot, Yes the router is connected to the internet.

[23:26] drunkpunk http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/ [23:26] SwedeMike: it wasn't a pointer because i googled pae kernel windows vista ubuntu and nothing came to me saying i gotta worry about it [23:27] _dgl: seriously unetbootin is one of the very few things thats more retarted than ubuntu [23:27] ffs [23:27] does ubuntu server with LAMP installed have the mod_ssl enabled and installed or do i need to add that [23:27] no working usb image in nr [23:28] _dgl: anyway, thanks [23:28] <_dgl> eeeuser113: fedora and debian itself both have limited usb boot images.. archlinux distributes one that boots straight after a copy, but ubuntu is just like most distros - very iso [23:28] !pastebin [23:28] 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 [23:28] xjkx: your google skills are failing. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [23:28] SwedeMike, xjkx, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/redhat-enterprise-linux-4gb-plus-ram-support.html [23:29] SwedeMike, xjkx, still .. i'm not sure if this is the right thing to do ? ? ?

[23:30] SwedeMike: oh, you were talking to xJust, i thought you were misstyping, lmao ! that's why i didn't understand [23:30] pfred1: followin first bunch of instructions - will this effect hpw the actually login box looks or just the background? [23:30] i recently upgraded to karma but when I reboot the system now it hangs on "Boot from (hd0,0) ext3" and then the id code and "Starting up .." I can boot into old kernels by using grub but only in recovery mode as far as I can tell. [23:30] klown nvidia not working for you? [23:30] The OS not "echo $SHELL" [23:30] xjkx, lol [23:30] bbl5660, uname -a [23:31] so xjkx, u know anything about it ?

[23:32] klown whats it matter? they all supported one that worked up until the upgrade a 400MX I think it is [23:32] equivalent command for 9.10? !8.10 = ./configure --enable-liba52 --disable-debug --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-gpl --enable-x264 --enable-xvid --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-pp --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-swscaler --disable-debug --enable-shared --prefix=/usr [23:32] anyone bash script with the new ubuntu? [23:32] pfred1: am i right in thinking previous versions have been able to adjust this with ease? [23:33] pfred1, I upgraded today as well, and have no issues. [23:33] drunkpunk I don't think too many people really care what the login screen looks like [23:33] klown the module didn't build do you use the binary driver? [23:33] pfred1: just bringin it up to scratch with all the other eye candy [23:33] does anybody know how to use an ipod with amarok [23:34] or another program that is better fit... any advice? [23:34] how can i get the true Mhz of my processor in ubuntu, /proc/cpuinfo is always the current speed [23:34] klown: Is your xorg.conf for just tv-out, or for tv-out and crt? [23:34] pfred1, yes, i use the glx-190 driver [23:34] mattyp try this http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod [23:35] thank you [23:35] ezzieyguywuf, just tv-out, i dont have a regular monitor [23:35] klown and you have a kernel module loaded and running? like lsmod shows nvidia ? [23:35] klown: ok. what is Xinerama and what is MX620? [23:36] klown FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko): No such device [23:36] ezzieyguywuf, both are for my mouse [23:36] klown: ok. [23:37] * ezzieyguywuf keeps comparing his xorg.conf to klown's [23:37] still no luck with the wacom gah [23:37] ezzieyguywuf, just drop the mx620 stuff, rename the card to your specific model, and try that. [23:37] heh in order for me to start X I had to sack my xorg.conf file [23:38] whats the best music player ??? [23:38] what does "setting pressure sensitivity in gimp itself" mean? [23:38] klown: in the monitor section, are the horiz- and vertrefresh settings optional, i.e. does it have some defaults it reverts to? [23:38] how do i know if envy is working? [23:38] paschu best is subjective best is whatever suits you [23:38] anyone bash script with the new ubuntu? [23:38] pfred1, Need a music player that needs less ram [23:39] apocalypt you still on? [23:39] NOW I GO AND DREAM ABOUT SERIAL KILLINGS [23:39] BYE ALL [23:39] AND THA NK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, WILL SEND FLOWERS [23:39] yeah i'm here [23:39] ezzieyguywuf, im using a 36inch tv for my monitor, you should be able to drop all that. [23:39] paschu maybe a CLI one then? [23:39] how do i know if envy works? [23:39] pfred1, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 260] (rev a1) [23:39] when i click on it in system tools it doesnt seem to do anything [23:39] pfred1, what what what whaaaaaat? [23:39] klown: and finally, in your screen section I see you have some twinview stuff defined. isn't that just for two displays? [23:40] klown that is from lspci not lsmod [23:40] ezzieyguywuf, not required for ya. [23:40] envy just installs a ATI driver. u have to try it with an 3D program i guess [23:40] pfred1, my apologizes, sec [23:40] try to use compiz [23:40] maybe [23:41] klown try modprobe | grep nvidia [23:41] as in set the effects to extra? [23:41] klown try lsmod | grep nvidia [23:41] Hi! [23:41] pfred1, nvidia 9620040 38 [23:42] klown yup thats it [23:42] why does FF with kk have connection issues [23:42] klown: I AM trying to (eventually) get two displays running [23:42] paschu, did you try already audacious? [23:42] ezzieyguywuf, try to get your card working first, then try for two displays :) [23:42] Roxxor, ill try [23:42] klown mine didn't make a module so I've none to load now [23:42] How to set a password on a folder? [23:42] paschu, http://audacious-media-player.org/ [23:42] I need some help. I can't connect my laptop to Internet at the moment, but i need to install ndiswrapper from a tar.gz [23:43] klown: my card works fine with whatever ubuntu uses for its defaults. Anytime I try to use a custom .conf file it blows up in my face though. Maybe I should have mentioned that [23:43] how can I be shure that it will work? [23:43] hey when i type sudo apt-get rar it says "Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package." any reason why? [23:43] ezzieyguywuf, sorry, i started reading a little late, what exactly are you trying to change in ur conf file? [23:44] Adantan_Alex maybe unrar comes with rar though I always used rar e myself === dav__ is now known as dav- [23:44] Adantan_Alex, sudo apt-get install rar [23:44] i recently upgraded to karma but when I reboot the system now it hangs on "Boot from (hd0,0) ext3" and then the id code and "Starting up .." I can boot into old kernels by using grub but only in recovery mode as far as I can tell. [23:45] Adantan_Alex, or synaptic ;) [23:45] klown: I just want to use both my computer screen and my tv screen at the same time. same display on both. Ubuntu's defaults identify my computer screen just fine but not my tv screen. I'd like to make whatever changes I need to in order to accomplish this. I'm following http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/NVidia/TV-OUT mainly [23:45] where does gnome store which window manager to start (i.e. visual effects none/some/extra) ? [23:45] spoken my kernel upgrade didn't go too well over here either :( [23:45] dav-: /etc/init.d? [23:45] oops [23:46] ezzieyguywuf: almost certainly not.. [23:46] yeah, i did sudo apt-get install rar and i got the same thing [23:46] pfred1 should I be installing the kernel manually? [23:46] Adantan_Alex, you dont have rar in your sources [23:46] like a generic kernel? [23:46] dav-: worth a shot. what do you need to know for? [23:46] spoken I don't know about that sorry. [23:46] How to set a password on a folder? [23:47] ezzieyguywuf: well when I login the window manager never starts.. [23:47] ezzieyguywuf: /etc/init.d is pre-login startup scripts. not post login stuff.. [23:47] I need some help. I can't connect my laptop to Internet at the moment, but i need to install ndiswrapper from a tar.gz. How can I do this? With wich commands can I do it? [23:47] apocalypt, that link did not give me any information i was looking for do you know anything off hand [23:47] what does this mean ./stream.dump? [23:47] yoques no deb package for it? [23:47] dav-: do you get a gui login screen? [23:47] i don't know what u are looking for especially [23:47] ezzieyguywuf: yes, gnome start, the windows have no decoration, i.e. compiz doesn't start [23:47] klown: you still around? [23:48] ezzieyguywuf, yeah im reading that link [23:48] 01[LIB] loading plugin 'sha1' failed: /usr/lib/ipsec/plugins/libstrongswan-sha1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [23:48] 01[LIB] loading plugin 'fips-prf' failed: /usr/lib/ipsec/plugins/libstrongswan-fips-prf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [23:48] yoques, able to understand a little bit german? http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/NdisWrapper [23:48] dav-: it's sorty ugly, but maybe try adding compiz --replace to "startup applications" [23:48] strongswan networkmanager plugin broken ? [23:48] klown: okie doke [23:48] what does ./stream.dump mean? this is a location but where is it, dumpstream says it dumps file there [23:48] anyone bash script with the new ubuntu? [23:48] ezzieyguywuf: i did, that has other nasty sideeffects. I'm trying to find the right way to fix this problem.. [23:49] dav-: ah ok then. sorry I couldn't be more help [23:49] ezzieyguywuf: thx for trying :) [23:49] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and installed kde-desktop to try out kde. Unfortunately, the Kubuntu quiet splash occurs now before the standard Ubuntu xsplash whether I run a kde session or gnome session. This slows down boot time and makes it messy. How do I remove the Kubutnu usplash from boot-up? [23:49] pfred1, I didn't saw where it was :S [23:49] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d1fcc333099029a2111b5ba7e39abb24656935f4 and http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c0ac17d2eaef5e97fb40dc6efa62871ae30258df are almost identical http://pastebin.ca/17032401703241 is a simplified diff of the two, yet 2.6.31 works, any ideas what i did wrong? [23:49] im new to linux and just want to use my ipod with it... [23:49] ezzieyguywuf, do you have everything plugged in when your trying this new conf file? [23:49] mattyp: what version of ipod? [23:49] ipod touch? === sammy is now known as Guest29367 [23:50] !ipod [23:50] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:50] when i open amarok it asks me to configure the device with a pre-connect and eject command [23:51] klown: actually no. I unplugged my tv back when I was still trying to have the nvidia gui make my xorg.conf file, just so that it'd make me a bare-bones one that I could add things too. Haven't plugged it in since, but would that cause a problem? [23:51] mattyp which ipod do you have? [23:51] * ezzieyguywuf runs to plug it in [23:51] yaaar. [23:51] is sthere a way of installing ubuntu on windows besides using virtual box? [23:51] how goes everyone? [23:51] is loving kicad [23:51] somebody knows where can I obtain "ndiswrapper.deb" ? [23:51] hi, I just installed karmic and how do you install the bashrc & bash_aliases for bash? TIA [23:51] ezzieyguywuf, have you posted your conf file you originally had issues with yet, if so, mind relinking? [23:51] mMezquitale: wubi? [23:52] mMezquitale wubi [23:52] DRUNKPUNK, what kind of punk are you into [23:52] tonyyarusso, Roxxor thanks, ill go look up wubi [23:52] centHOGG: They're there by default. You want to add your own customizations? [23:52] yoques http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ [23:52] !ot | mattyp [23:52] mattyp: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:52] tonyyarusso: hi, thx... where is bashrc & bash_aliases? [23:53] mattyp: pistols, clash, rancid, black flag... [23:53] centHOGG: For your user, ~/.bashrc (if you feel the need to put aliases in a separate file, you can create ~/.bash_aliases and then add a line to .bashrc with 'source ~/.bash_aliases') [23:54] yoques try to undestand my link with google, its very good... ask if you dont understand a certain passage [23:54] klown: let me go grab it hold on [23:54] yoques translate with google [23:54] tonyyarusso: yeah i know, but I couldn't find bashrc in my home folder on a new install [23:55] centHOGG touch ~/.bashrc [23:55] centHOGG: That's because it's a hidden file - the . at the front of the name does that. ls -a on a command line or Ctrl-H in nautilus will show it. [23:55] Is there a summary around of what's fixed by going from kernel 2.6.31-15 to 16? I've had many problems since upgrading to karmic and hope this fixes some. [23:55] centHOGG: If I recall you have to create it^^ [23:55] yeah i know [23:55] ok create it [23:55] with an older one? [23:55] any1 offer some help changing login screen in 9.10? [23:56] centHOGG: like pfred1 said, use touch that will make it. [23:56] How do I set VLC as my default movie player? [23:56] brand new to linux, and i want grub to recognize my windows installs instead of my windows. [23:56] when i run update grub2 it just finds the bootloader... [23:56] any sugestions? [23:56] klown: http://pastebin.com/m5c3ad0ae [23:57] got it... i'll just lift some script from an older version.... i wonder why they left that out [23:57] so someone help me out here. I'm trying to remove the linux-generic package. somehow, the linux-generic-pae image package is missing a dependency (the latest linux-generic-pae image) and wants me to run `apt-get -f install` to fix it. but there isn't enough space on / to install the package it wants to install. if I try to `apt-get remove linux-generic` to make some room, it tells me I need to run `apt-get install -f` first, which wil [23:58] doleyb: I know there's a changelog for every new version. you're using the default ubuntu desktop kernel? [23:58] centHOGG: the default should be in /etc/skel/.bashrc, not sure why you don't have one in your home directory though [23:58] ezzieyguywuf, and u said u have 3 monitors? what type of connections? [23:58] doleyb: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux , click the arrow by the -16 version for karmic to see details [23:58] trism: thx [23:58] ezzieyguywuf I'm lealous you have a nvidia module!
