[00:02] actionparsnip hi [00:02] hanosha: cool [00:02] !itunes | spanky [00:02] spanky: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [00:03] hanosha: now you can use 3d effects etc. They should be enabled by default [00:03] !cookie | ActionParsnip [00:03] ActionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:03] IdleOne: thanks ;) [00:03] ActionParsnip there thier a way to someone get in iinsade my liunx ? [00:03] hanosha: only if you configure it as such [00:03] hanosha: the default install is secure enough [00:04] confuire mean i must acctep ? [00:04] i am not so good in english :S [00:04] ActionParsnip what about the wine ? [00:05] i need exe files very importain [00:05] Question: How can I use my HFS+ external harddrives with Ubuntu? I have installed hfs, hfsutils via synaptic, am able to read from the drives, but am unable to save to them, or to make directories. [00:05] hanosha: sudo apt-get install wine [00:05] hanosha: why do you need wine? [00:05] ActionParsnip its old verison :S [00:05] does anyone know if there is a driver for ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01) to enable visual effects? [00:05] right ? [00:06] hanosha: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb === bunshiong is now known as brian99999 [00:06] ActionParsnip, who use wine under linux, can never be linux user, that is my experience as linux/gnu user since 5 years :) [00:06] ActionParsnip in liunx what kind of exe or dll work ? [00:07] ActionParsnip i mean like the exe and bat in windows [00:08] hanosha, use the alternative or compile it from source or use available package for what you want to do [00:08] im finding huge amount of errors in dmesg when the video driver loads and when ever I run gl apps; "glxinfo:2151 freeing invalid memtype HHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH [00:08] hanosha: yes but what do you plan to run? There are tonnes of native alternatives [00:08] ActionParsnip: I was here earlier asking about video drivers, and you directed me to help.ubuntu.com but all of the instructions there involved first enabling the restricted drivers in the driver manager, but my driver manager did not list any video drivers -- only drivers from my wireless card -- do you have any other advice? [00:08] hanosha, dep-installed is installed by default [00:08] ActionParsnip, hey i managed to get rid of the men test with " sudo apt-get --purge remove memtest86+" [00:08] tried google but it seems to refer to a closed bug from 2.6.28 [00:08] DeSian: i have to have it to run my CCNA material [00:08] VirusTB: cool [00:08] but how do I edit the tittle of my Windows option? [00:08] ActionParsnip so just the dep work in liunx or ubuntu ? [00:09] VirusTB: when you change the grub files, you must run: sudo update-grub [00:09] but im running the latest kernel right now [00:09] ActionParsnip, ah ok lett me do that [00:09] hanosha, deb is debian package [00:09] ActionParsnip bcz if i need to download something like bat or exe its not gonna work ? [00:09] ! tell hanosha about debian package [00:09] hanosha: well you won't. Use linux stuff instead [00:09] the card is a radeon 9250 w/ 128MB using open source drivers [00:09] hanosha: you are installing soemthing you will mostly not need [00:10] i just installed bf2 on my linux box with wine and it worked pretty good [00:10] ActionParsnip yea u mean the wine ? [00:10] hanosha: of course, what else??? We've ben discussing wine the last 5 mins [00:10] hanosha, or compile it from source if you dont have the .deb package [00:10] hanosha: hence why I am asking - Why do you want wine??? [00:10] ActionParsnip who cares why he want wine [00:11] ActionParsnip i am used to windows 10 year in windows :S [00:11] we wants to install wine give him the direction on how to install wine [00:11] crashdata: it matters if there is a easier solution [00:11] hanosha: so? [00:11] ActionParsnip i will use the wine untill i be good in liunx u know [00:11] crashdata, is not good idea [00:11] hanosha: what are u going to install? not all apps are gonna be support by wien [00:12] understand. [00:12] hanosha: there are Linux alternatives for nearly every app in windows [00:12] Coded1, what all have you been told so far about the 9250? because I have never been able to use that card in linux, in fact I had kernel panics just putting one of those cards into a system and trying to use them with VGA drivers [00:12] ActionParsnip icq photoshop [00:12] hanosha: they will run more efficiently and more reliably than anything in wine [00:12] hanosha, use pidgin...etc for ICQ and GIMP inkscape ...etc instead [00:12] hi - can any1 tell me how to delete the entire text in a file read by nano?? [00:12] ActionParsnip what GIMP ? [00:13] ! tell hanosha about gimp [00:13] ActionParsnip Pidgin dont send sms :S [00:13] hanosha, please see my private message [00:13] hanosha: icq can be configured in pidgin. icq does not run in wnie [00:13] hanosha, is alot of apps just google it [00:13] How do I use OpenType fonts in Ubuntu (8.10, amd-64) ? [00:13] hanosha: i told you this earlier [00:13] demonspork, it actually worked ok in previous versions of ubuntu (8.10,9.04) but now I get glxgears @ 490fps @ 1024x768 [00:13] ye: you wouldn't use nano for that really [00:13] ActionParsnip :S so its not gonna work :S in wine too :S [00:14] but most gl apps run like crap @ 4fps [00:14] ActionParsnip dmt i need voobys too :S [00:14] hanosha: yes, icq doesnt run [00:14] like tuxracer et al [00:14] Aethelred, mv OpenType fonts to ~/.fonts [00:14] ActionParsnip what work ? [00:14] hanosha: can you QUIT with the :S thing [00:14] why can't I play DVDs? It says it cannot read from the device, yet gnome says I have entered to a video dvd and asks what app to run it with. VLC and Movie Player give the same error [00:14] ActionParsnip what work in wine then ? [00:14] hanosha: I'll tell you once more. The windows program called ICQ does NOT run using wine [00:15] demonspork, apparently the closed drivers do not include the r200-R300 family of cards so only the OSS drivers are availible [00:15] what would i use then [00:15] ActionParsnip i got it :S [00:15] hanosha: just use Pidgin to connect to ICQ [00:15] hanosha: took me telling you 5 times but we got there [00:15] DeSian: I'd rather make them available to the system (in /usr/share/fonts), but I'm not sure if I should put them in /truetype/, /type1/, or create an /opentype/ directory. [00:15] ActionParsnip can't :S [00:15] ActionParsnip i tried it :S [00:15] halp [00:15] ye: well if you want to use bash to delete the contents of a file (THERE IS NO UNDO), you may do: :> /path/to/file [00:15] Coded1, then you got further than I ever did, because I gave up when I realized that the intel integrated graphics for the computers in question was significantly more powerful than the 9250 [00:15] hanosha: if you type :S again i'm going to block you [00:15] needs less engrish in here... [00:15] why ? [00:15] does I need a package to read DVDs [00:16] ActionParsnip ??? [00:16] Aethelred, usr/shar/fonts is for all users and as root have you to done it [00:16] hanosha, what is your native language? [00:16] ActionParsnip why [00:16] hanosha: its the most redundant and infuriating thing ever [00:16] I need to confirm a ban I put in place on my apache2 server is working, is there a way I can "spoof" an IP address for the purpose of assuring the ban is functioning? [00:16] just move your fonts in ~/.fonts [00:16] or is that too "suspicious"? [00:16] hanosha: and ive asked you twice nicely [00:16] SpaceGhostC2C: this is an international channel, not everybody speaks english as perfect as you do :) [00:16] !dvd | con-man [00:16] con-man: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:16] hanosha: got it? [00:16] DeSian: I'm having trouble parsing the last thing you said... [00:16] ActionParsnip i native ? [00:16] IdleOne, good point, but maybe he could look in his native language? [00:16] demonspork, i dunno its not a great card but should be able to handle tuxracer @ 800x600 mild settings [00:16] is anyone else having problems install 2.6.32 kernel [00:16] ActionParsnip okay i am not gonna put the thing u told me [00:16] Aethelred, restart apps and it worked [00:17] hanosha: native means an actual linux app, wine apps are windows apps and are therefore not native [00:17] * SpaceGhostC2C thinks ActionParsnip is a saint. [00:17] !cookie | ActionParsnip [00:17] ActionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!

[00:17] ActionParsnip i got it after 10 times ;) [00:17] ActionParsnip, I'm rather fond of children for a light brunch myself. What exactly is s/he trying to do?

Why? [00:23] uh, now people can't even use the smileys they feel like? [00:23] hanosha, it's really annoying.

[01:06] TheSlacker, google is your friend [01:07] hi coded1 [01:07] hi there guys have a problem where do i find the grub file on a wubi 9.10 install?????????????? [01:07] how to uninstal ubuntu? [01:07] hi magdalena [01:07] google is my friend [01:07] goncalo182: delete its partition and install another OS in its place [01:07] !google | Coded1 [01:07] Coded1: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [01:08] right [01:08] SpaceGhostC2C, but the guy is asking for word lists to crack wpa2 [01:08] i have already win 7, how do i delete tjhis partition? [01:08] goncalo182: how did you add the partition? [01:09] i need to have more time and knowledge to use ubuntu [01:09] in the install process [01:09] if he was asking how to find a command i can see but if he wants me to hack his neighbours wifi ... [01:09] TheSlacker...what kind of word list. WPA2 should be a passphrase that contains numbers if at all possible. A passphrase can be something like "The La2y d0g jump3d 0v3r the Wall" === clueless is now known as Guest63500 [01:09] Coded1, fair enough. Maybe try sending him along with some keywords as well. [01:09] goncalo182: there might be a partition editor available for windows 7 that can delete and resize partitions [01:09] ok [01:10] right want to hack his wifi [01:10] Exactly how would I create a shell script to be run at log in? [01:10] cool, try googling "wpalist.txt" it will find you a nice beefy 500mb one [01:10] Is there a way to crack WPA2 using your GPU, that way I could brute force. I googled this but couldnt find a utility [01:10] GodfatherofEire: do u mean X login? [01:11] TheSlacker, you can use your gpu to create rainbow tables but not hack directly [01:11] magdalena, if you're trying to hack someone else's wireless, that's entirely illegal. Although if you're testing security on your own wireless, that's different. [01:11] EagleScreen, after actually being authenticated, not at the login screen. [01:11] i am testing security at home, im trying to prove to myself that i am secure [01:12] TheSlacker, http://project-rainbowcrack.com/ [01:12] of corse slacker [01:12] thank you coded [01:12] np [01:13] coded1 why people is hapy when detroing somethink? [01:13] TheSlacker, what tools do you have? Are you trying this with just software? Do you have a arp-poison injection usb dongle? [01:13] GodfatherofEire: if you use Gnome, there is a tool to add scripts or applications to be ran at starting session, it is in System -> Preferences -> Session? [01:13] bucket bucket [01:13] magdalena, it's all about the knowledge. [01:13] EagleScreen, I've tried that, doesnt quite work [01:13] anyone here know much about lvm, i need ot figure out exactly how much free space is in my vg so i can extend my lv to fill it [01:13] TheSlacker The longer the passPHRASE and the more numerics sprinkled into the phrase, the more secure you would be from brute force. Brute force assumes that words are used...don't use words, us mnemonics consisting of alpha numerics. [01:13] yes, i have a 4 way handshake in a cap file. I used aircrack but i do not have a decent enough word list [01:13] magdalena, how do you know they are destroying something? just because you give some one a hammer does not mean they are going to break something ;) [01:14] or is there a way to just tell it to use all available [01:14] GodfatherofEire: is your script executable? (excution permissions) [01:14] jeffreyf: actually, brute forcing doesn't assume that. [01:14] Coded1, Awesome analogy. [01:14] if it assumes that, then it's not brute forcing but a targeted attack. [01:14] ;) [01:14] hello [01:14] Coded1, may I borrow it? [01:14] EagleScreen, what I set it to execute was a hard link to a program, specifically conky. [01:14] yes for example you can use the hamer as art object [01:15] LjL...that would be dictionary hack...you are right...brute force will use an ever expanding string [01:15] hello fernandof [01:15] SpaceGhostC2C, no problem [01:15] !ops | Paula on join spam [01:15] Paula on join spam: Help!

[01:28] GodfatherofEire: well.. maybe you could write some script to relaunch the app..

But what do I know? [01:28] igge, then I'd have to run the script once it shut down, i need it automated [01:28] My-Computer, which gui are you using. [01:28] <[1]joes7> I get a "Temp" error during wubi installer [01:29] 904 [01:29] <[1]joes7> Is there a faster wubi installer? [01:29] Hello, i have Ubuntu 9.10; when i press TAB on keyboard or CTRL +C to copy or CTRL + V, my touchpad mouse (laptop) sticks for about 0.3 miliseconds, then goes back to normal, anyone? its a hp with synaptic i believe, is there a better driver? [01:29] and SpaceGhostC2C wouldnt that only check once in a period of time? [01:29] [1]joes7, download and burn to dvd. [01:29] GodfatherofEire: i mean.. write a script that starts the program, then waits for the program to finish and when it does relaunch it [01:29] GodfatherofEire, you can have it check every second if you want. [01:29] [1]joes7: nope.. you might consider installing virtualbox and then ubuntu inside that as a vm.. less problemmatic [01:29] <[1]joes7> how do i boot the dvd afterwards [01:29] SpaceGhostC2C, wouldnt that be a tad resource intensive though? [01:29] I'll ask again... ._. [01:29] testusera is a radeon x2300 [01:30] Alright, so I need to help getting sound on Ubuntu Studio ( Latest addition ). I had it for a while but it's suddenly gone away. Pulse Audio says it detects sound, but nothing is coming out of my laptop speakers. Laptop is Gateway MX8738 and I'm pretty sure the sound is STAC9250... [01:30] HELP ! sometimes I can not see videos sent to me ! I get a black screen ...what can I make? [01:30] i'm going to install netbook remix, is there an option to encrypt your "home" partition? [01:30] SirMoo, have you tried switching it to use ALSA? [01:30] im on xubuntu 904 on xubuntu how do i get the windows key to bring up the main menu [01:30] GodfatherofEire, well it's a trade of what you want and what you have to do. Personally? I'd write a script to run at startup that would start your apps and if any should close it would relaunch them. [01:30] magdalena, what is the output of "lspci |grep VGA" [01:30] just got ubuntu on my computer... trying to get yahoo messenger... not sure if i can or how... any suggestions anyone? [01:31] GodfatherofEire; Want to link me to a correct guide? Because I though I had done that after folllowing a dozen or so articles. [01:31] <[1]joes7> can i install xubuntu alternater iso on virtual box? [01:31] sweet_sarah_jane: use Pidgin [01:31] sweet_sarah_jane, try Empathy IM [01:31] pidgin is bug and exploit riddled [01:31] SirMoo, cant think of any [01:31] !empathy | sweet_sarah_jane [01:31] sweet_sarah_jane: Empathy is an instant messaging and video chat client for GNOME. In !karmic, Empathy will replace Pidgin as the default IM client. [01:31] Ugh, empathy [01:31] how can i share my internet connection over wireless in 9.10? [01:31] sweet_sarah_jane: pidgin is one that might be working now.. yahoo did something in the last year that sort of knocked out a lot of IM programs [01:31] testusera, hmm? [01:31] My-Computer, http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/launch-application-menu-in-ubuntu-with-windows-key/ [01:31] Then how would I switch it over? [01:31] hi [01:31] sweet_sarah_jane, try pidgin or empathy client [01:31] empathy SUCKS!!!!!!!!! [01:31] testusera: back it up? [01:31] Seconded, mereo [01:31] ati x2300 [01:32] hey room [01:32] It's not well developed enough yet [01:32] testusera do you have a clue how can i solve the problem of black screen instaed of videos? [01:32] <[1]joes7> !wubi [01:32] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [01:32] pidgin in my opinion, is MUCH better than empathy [01:32] And SirMoo, I cant think of any guide for switching it over [01:32] mereo: why? [01:32] and emesene is becoming good as an MSN only client [01:32] FernandoF, what videos? [01:32] Want to list me the steps GodfatherofEire? =D [01:32] mereo: she asked for a yahoo client. [01:32] tried pidgin, couldn't get very far, I'm new at this... [01:33] can one of the ops in here let breinera know i unlocked original user in ubuntu [01:33] http://www.pidgin.im/news/security/ [01:33] thanx [01:33] <[1]joes7> Hey! Can I installl the xubuntu alternate iso on virtual box? [01:33] SirMoo, I havent had any problems with it on Karmic so on this I'm not sure [01:33] I'm 99% sure it's installed. [01:33] oh... it's just in my opinion, empathy is just too plain [01:33] Both of 'em... [01:33] I like to customize my client [01:33] empathy is now the default messenger on ubuntu [01:33] testusera for example one from http://www.gamaniak.com [01:33] [1]joes7: sure [01:33] yeah, it's the default... unfortunately [01:33] FernandoF, does youtube work? [01:33] i like to use it to chat with [01:33] :) [01:33] In my opinion, pidgin === patrick is now known as Guest8971 [01:34] !ot [01:34] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:34] mereo, http://www.pidgin.im/news/security/ =P [01:34] testusera, well, look at the changelogs for Ubuntu's security updates [01:34] testusera but there are others [01:34] come on! every programs have security risks [01:34] testusera yes youtube woks with some videos [01:34] something thats used a lot arguably generates more bugs to the sruface but i remember a particularily unresponsive pidgin team on insecure.org... [01:34] and if you look closely, they are fixex [01:35] FernandoF, some videos? not all? [01:35] and the list is from 2004 to 2009, so come on! [01:35] when i choose to create a new wireless network, wlan0 does not show up in ifconfig [01:36] testusera no some videos do not [01:36] thats very strange. [01:36] lol [01:36] are you using firefox with default add-ins? [01:36] or did you install your own [01:36] yes [01:37] i did even try to install extra add ins [01:37] testusera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO7H6vHn5DM&feature=channel is an example that just failed [01:37] hmm, well i am not sure but it could be either flash player or your video drivers, i recommend trying to update both and trying again [01:37] Also, anybody know why compiz is messing up my desktop icons (hiding them until hovered over)? [01:38] testusera it works fine with some but not others [01:38] testusera thx! I tried almost all and i get mad now [01:38] FernandoF, i haven't troubleshot that problem before so unfortunately i don't know :( [01:38] testusera thx anyway [01:38] i hate graphics problems [01:38] more bother than its worth hehe [01:39] Anyone know if there is a switch or option to use to prevent ubuntu ejecting a disk when it's finished installing? [01:39] guys - xchat question - how do I show the active users on the right side? (I know its not ubuntu related but Im kinda stuck now) [01:39] Ubuntu 9.10; Firefox 3.5; Nvidia GeoForce FX5500. YouTube video is crashing Firefox. Why? Fix? [01:40] here is a kicker, redmond can only see 140 gigs on my netbook that was delivered yesterday, BIOS says the HD is 160 gigs, I still cant boot up with my USB stick though with unr, can I use a CD to install unr using a usb cd rom? [01:40] Roasted, i think you may only need to drag the side of the window if memory services me correctly it is only hidden [01:40] mezquitale: could have recovery partation on it [01:41] testusera - look at you being a genius :P thanks bro [01:41] np [01:41] itw as there earlier and now - nadda, I was like whaaat? [01:41] Roasted, go to Setting < Preferences ad you can change it there as well. [01:41] SnakDoc, if i want to install unr is it safe to use gparted to resize the hard drive or will I have to completely wipe the hard drive first and then install redmond and then unr? [01:42] under the User List area. [01:42] mezquitale, depends on what filesystem is utilized [01:42] check gparted websites for supported growing [01:42] hi guys ... im ruuning in this trouble https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/484799 after updraded to last and even after booting from grub > prompt i cant boot karmic ( wubi ) (kernel panic ). Do u guys know a better fix/ workaround for this ? [01:42] Soo... I still need sound. .__. [01:43] helo [01:43] mezquitale: i never used it to resize so have no idea [01:44] from memory ext2 3 and 4 can be resized and so can reiserfs but i think XFS runs into problems [01:44] testusera, im assuming I have ntfs, i have xp service pack 3 installed on the netbook [01:44] oh [01:44] anyone able to run karmic on a pentium 4 without any hickups. [01:44] anyone know how to get icons on your desktop in enlightenment? [01:44] mezquitale, google ntfs resizing may be worth reading up or using a partition magic boot disk [01:44] Meowpup, a pentium 4 should be fast enough, if you want more speed try xubuntu [01:44] *update to last kernel 2.6.31-15 and -16 and bumm ... no more boot with wubi . even prompting from from grub gives Kernel Panic . === goose is now known as hans [01:44] anybody really solid with webmin/samba?

[01:47] SnakDoc, this is funny, there's 3 primary partitions on the hard drive that has xp installed, the last partition is the restore partition, the first partition is fat16 labeled "dellutility", the second partition has the OS partition using ntfs, im going to resize the OS partition and see what happens [01:47] renatosrabelo1: ask what he needs, one must... [01:47] Well I dont mean linux testing I mean testing for hardware errors === cplx_ is now known as cplx [01:47] like hes selling me a notebook with a shot cpu or memory or it overheats, one guy said prime95 [01:47] which I imagine will work [01:48] mezquitale: the dell stuff is to test pc i believe and other is to restore xp [01:48] ask him for a 2 week return ? [01:48] so if it screws up within 2 weeks you get your money back [01:48] then i guess just benchmark the shit out of it [01:50] maco: does it matter that I'm using the do-dist-upgrade tool? Because it doesn't look like I've made any difference to the download amounts [01:52] jest tu kto ? [01:52] Where is the bind dns cache at?

[01:55] Trizicus: check /var/run/bind/ and /var/lib/bind [01:55] is it fine if I change the permissions of /var/www and the ownership? so I don't need to always be a root to copy or modify files for the website?

[01:57] Hey guys I have a problem here [01:57] Is there any application that plots 3d functions? [01:57] lstarnes: I'm currently using bind in opensuse would you happen to know where that cache location is? [01:57] kitche: I have 9.10 and I can't create a new folder if I open /var/www/ in Nautilus [01:57] what is it nas? [01:57] Trizicus: this channel only supports ubuntu [01:57] How can I get firefox to open PDFs in the browser by default? [01:57] Trizicus, don't you pay for support with suse anyway =p? [01:58] Roasted, I think those things are just problematic.. I have file sharing "setup" in my computer, and it works if I try to browse with smbclient, but if I use a windows computer in the same network I won't see my shares [01:58] testusera, no i dont need it;; what do i do now? [01:58] lstarnes: I realize that however no one is helping in the channel [01:58] jozefk: due to teh fact your not in the right groups [01:58] Trizicus: that does not mean that we can help you though [01:58] testusera: I dont think so? lol [01:58] my laptop speakers crackle heavily when my headphone is plugged. [01:58] Trizicus: we don't know anything about opensuse here [01:58] kitche: ah OK maybe I need to be in www group or something [01:58] arooni-mobile___, try sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/ntpdate [01:58] macondo: gnuplot can plot 3D functions, although you might want to use it with something like wxmaxima, a bit more user-friendly [01:58] How do i fix the error Unable to complete install: 'Couldn't create storage volume 'vista.img': 'cannot create path '/var/lib/libvirt/images/vista.img': Permission denied' [01:58] Trizicus: any differences between opensuse's configuration and ubuntu's configuration won't be known to us [01:59] thats use the Virtual Machine manger [01:59] Trizicus: I know how to say it: soooosuh. Is that helpful? :P [01:59] jozefk: think it might be www-data not sure since I don't know what ubuntu calls that group [01:59] tried pidgin, can't join chat or IM, it won't let me. was going to DL empathy to try it, but can't seem to get it to work. I gotta say, i'm kinda ubuntu illiterate [01:59] my laptop speakers crackle heavily when my headphone is plugged. [01:59] I'm having trouble enabling direct rendering on my Macbook Pro...I've got the right drivers, but I'm still not getting direct rendering. [01:59] Trizicus: If not, you should probably get support through your vendor or the soooosuh community [01:59] jub369, use sudo to create the storage or create in your /home directory [01:59] ekimmargni: I use suse b/c I find .deb's too limiting [01:59] how do i direct it [01:59] jub369, why are you trying to create the image in that path though? you need root privileges to save to that location [02:00] trism: I like gnuplot, but never got around to plot 3d lines. And while wxmaxima is nice, it's behaving strangely now. [02:00] Can anyone help me in adding vista back to grub? I just upgraded to the most recent version, and restored my menu.lst and completely forgot how I added it the first time. [02:00] Trizicus: Guess how much I care? This is #ubuntu - please find an appropriate support venue. [02:00] ekimmargni: Then why are you mentioning it over and over again?

[02:01] is there a way for apt-get to install a package without some of the dependencies? [02:01] JoeSomebody: ntfs-3g should be installed by defauly [02:01] *default [02:01] example: I'm trying to install squirrelmail, but I already have lighttpd installed and don't want to install apache [02:01] ok [02:02] testusera, theres only /etc/init.d/ntp .. should i do it to that? and how do i stop using ntp server [02:02] how to arrange icons in gnome desktop? [02:02] Landon, it get aggravating that nothing wants to use lighttpd [02:02] Bam_Bam: yeah, I have it set up on my old server, but I don';t remember at all how that worked out [02:02] jub369, there are 2 ways of doing it, I would not recommend the first one, 1. you could start virtual box with sudo on a terminal or 2. you can figure out how to create an image on your home folder or any folder that you have permission, just remember you have to have enough space on it, if you click on "Properties" on virtualbox you should be able to figure it out [02:03] mr_engineer - are you still here? I only now saw what you said. What do you mean when you said you just think theyre problematic? [02:03] how to arrange icons in gnome desktop? [02:03] i'm getting: "pulseaudio[2428]: main.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freeDesktop.DBus.Spawn.ExecFailed: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initlization failed. this is on karmic. What should i do now? [02:03] Landon: you could use the version from squirrelmail's website instead of using ubuntu's package for it [02:03] Roasted, exactly [02:03] mdwright, that does not track for my version of ubuntu, 9.10, http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ [02:03] mr_engineer - elaboratE? [02:03] nas, what do you mean "icons"? are you talking about links to folders? [02:03] Roasted, you can go to the #samba channel though [02:04] arooni-mobile, you could uninstall ntpd i don't know if that would break your ntp sync or something though [02:04] Landon: I also use lighttpd so I sometimes have the sane issue [02:04] Roasted, I wouldn't know about webmin [02:04] lstarnes: I was thinking about that, but on my other server it was installed via apt-get [02:04] i would have a read of http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man1/ntpd.1.html [02:04] Roasted, i elaborated before [02:04] is there a page for my version? [02:04] does pandora work with ubuntu? [02:04] ya Mez [02:04] macondo: yeah, there is a bug with maxima in karmic, that has to do with the heap randomization, there is a workaround here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maxima/+bug/303587 (comment number 14) [02:04] i want to mount stuff permanenntly [02:04] Landon, I'm using lighttpd on my linode because ram is kinda limited, but man does everything want the apache piggy [02:04] are all packages in main inside Ubuntu alternate CD? [02:04] mr_engineer - pardon? I didnt notice anything before that really allowed me to understand. What do you find to be problematic? Samba? Or what? [02:04] JoeSomebody: Do you have the drive mounted now? [02:04] Roasted, yes, samba [02:04] not yet [02:04] i feel really dumb. i clicked that link testusera sent and i'm still confused. is there suppose to be a place to download from or am i just not seeing it? [02:05] Roasted, or samba <-> windows === arooni-mobile___ is now known as arooni-mobile [02:05] nas, after you type a few letters of a nickname click on "tab", that is a known bug, they are still working on it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/glib2.0/+bug/411322 [02:05] When I try to stream over the lan with VLC, I get the error "streaming / transcoding failed vlc could not open the encoder" How do I solve this? [02:05] mr_engineer - I dont have any trouble with samba, as long as I'm on a windows box connecting TO a linux box. Ive never had trouble there. Ive never tried to go the other way around. [02:05] there is no way to arrange icons by a click [02:05] ubuntu karmic is unable to boot and i'm getting: "pulseaudio[2428]: main.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freeDesktop.DBus.Spawn.ExecFailed: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initlization failed." What should i do now? [02:05] JoeSomebody: Do you know what device your drive is on? [02:06] mr_engineer - my question was really just in regard to how samba permissions (read only, write = allowed, etc) ties in with the linux permissions on the local *server* set up with samba. [02:06] ? [02:06] Help even when i do sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/libvirt/images to give me read and write VMM still says it cant permission dinied [02:06] Roasted, sorry then [02:06] you mean like sda [02:06] nas, the problem is with symbolic links, link position is not restored after a reboot, you can position icons stored locally on your desktop but not links [02:07] mr_engineer - ha its all good. I wished you had better luck with samba. I find it quite useful since we have XP machines, macs, and linux boxes in the house. 1 way to make everybody talk is pretty nice. [02:07] mdwright, you mean like sda? [02:07] yes [02:07] Does anyone have experince with video drivers on Macbook Pros? [02:07] JoeSomebody: yes.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:11] Roasted, so your linux machine is just a server? [02:11] Can you get files from them? [02:11] mr_engineer - more or less, yes. I have about 6 shares on my kubuntu machine that Im on right now. Users have certain levels of access and resrtiction to each folder. [02:11] mr_engineer - meaning, my parents cant get into my brother's stuff, so if he backed up a ton of porn, nobody can see but him :P [02:12] Can anyone help me with adding Vista to menu.lst? [02:12] Roasted, does any of your shares allow anonymous access? [02:12] I had problems with that before [02:12] I'm having trouble enabling direct rendering with an Nvidia card. I have the drivers installed, but can't get direct rendering to work. [02:12] Roasted, what 3rd party client do they use?

I just created a bogus account named "user" that has access to my "Public" share, so people (friends, etc) can use that to dump stuff in the public folder if they want to give me a song or video or something when theyre at my house on their laptop.

[02:14] no 8.10... came w pidgin, but I'm not having luck w that [02:14] mr_engineer - 770 permissions on all shares, with jason (me) being the owner and the user in question (curt, tyler, etc) are the group assigned, so they have full access [02:14] mr_engineer - yes, I just gave him a generic password "passwd" [02:14] oh [02:14] hi, [02:14] that might be a nice setup === D is now known as Guest79219 [02:14] mr_engineer - he can only get to the pu blic folder, so if one of my friends wants to be a jerk and delete some .exe files to programs I have stored there, then whatever. Besides, I have a backup drive of my samba drive anyway. [02:14] I just don't like having to make a new user computer-wide just to share files [02:15] mr_engineer - oh no way, me neither. Thats not how mine is set up. [02:15] I'm on Hardy Heron, but I've got Firefox 3.5. It takes a VERY long time usually to close, and my cpu monitor shows I/O activity. What is Firefox doing? How can I make it faster? [02:15] sweet_sarah_jane: according to the bot, it should be in the repos, just try sudo apt-get install empathy [02:15] mr_engineer - my simple is practical, IMO, but simple. 770 permissions, jason:user (tyler, curt, etc) as the owner/group, then in the smb.conf I have a "Valid users = jason,curt" setting [02:15] Hi e1 - since I haven't gotten any response in #xubuntu [02:15] Is xubuntu better option for 512 MB ram computer than ubuntu ? [02:16] And is it good and worthy OS to switch? [02:16] mr_engineer - so when the user hits my server, they HAVE to log in. At that point, if they log in as Curt, then Curt can only get to the shares that hes listed as "valid user" on. Whcih is "Curt" and "Public", as all users are. Tyler/Public, Pam/Public, etc. [02:16] Roasted, so "user" is not a user in your computer? [02:16] mr_engineer - yes, user "is" a user on my computer, actually [02:16] question to anyone: is it possible to have a wireless internet connection w/o an actual PCMCIA card inside my laptop [02:16] uhh, I didn't understand what that meant [02:16] mr_engineer - hes no different than curt/tyler/pam/jason (me) etc, he just has more restricted access on the folder shares. [02:17] yes [02:17] timberwolf90: if your laptop has "built-in wireless", yes [02:17] sweet_sarah_jane: sorry, open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) and type the command "sudo apt-get install empathy", without the quotes, it will ask for your password and install empathy from the repo [02:17] ben64: how can i enable it to work [02:17] mr_engineer - one night thing about samba is you can save that smb.conf, its your golden ticket [02:17] JerVA> Is xubuntu better option for 512 MB ram computer than ubuntu ? [02:17] And is it good and worthy OS to switch? [02:18] mr_engineer - I got bored with gnome/ubuntu and installed kubuntu instead. Brought over my smb.conf, added users, BAM - I was back in business within 5 minutes. [02:18] timberwolf90: if your laptop has it, you would just need the drivers, if ubuntu doesn't recognize it automatically [02:18] JerVA: yes and Xubuntu is the same as ubuntu just uses xfce instead [02:18] hello [02:18] i just installed ubuntu using wubi [02:18] sweet_sarah_jane: or you could use Synaptic to install the empathy package (I forget exactly where it was in 8.10, should be somewhere under System) [02:18] thank you very much [02:18] now it boots but all i get is sh::grub:> [02:18] ben64: where can i find the driver [02:19] kitche - okay good. Is it the fact that xubuntu has better performance a bit compared with ubuntu? [02:19] Roasted, heh, I tried kde but I coulnd't stand it very well [02:19] ben64: (im using wired now) [02:19] mr_engineer - everybody is different man. That's the beauty of linux. The power of choice. RPM/Debian, XFCE KDE Gnome, etc. [02:19] can someone help me fix my fresh install? [02:19] Roasted, exactly [02:19] JerVA: xfce uses less memory then gnome really so it runs good on 512 mb [02:19] well, one of the beautiful characteristics of linux [02:20] mr_engineer - not to open a can of worms here, but I tried out gnome shell (gnome 3.0) that gnome is coming out with in a few months. I thought it was HORRIBLE. I used gnome for 5 years, very faithful user here. I was so disgusted with it I tried out KDE and I got hooked. [02:20] Yes that's what I am getting response from. [02:20] Thank you I'm going to burn ISO [02:20] Time`s_Witness: you could try searching for your laptop model and ubuntu on google === D is now known as Guest88261 [02:20] mr_engineer - plus I'm sorta *ahem* banned.... from the kubuntu chat at the moment :P so Im roaming around here [02:20] i just installed ubuntu using wubi, now when i boot ubuntu it just goes to sh::grub:> [02:20] Roasted, another one is the ludicrousness of how people who receive no payment for it can create a better OS than people who DO get paid [02:20] did all that, started going now it's waiting for me to do something, and unfortunately i don't know what [02:20] timberwolf90: that was for you [02:20] Roasted, oh.. bad behavior? [02:20] mr_engineer I hear that man [02:20] !wubi [02:20] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [02:21] mr_engineer - what, with gnome 3? [02:21] ben64: what was for me? [02:21] timberwolf90: you could try searching for your laptop model and ubuntu on google [02:21] sweet_sarah_jane: is it asking you a yes or no question? [Y/n], if so just hit Y and enter (it is asking if you want to install the extra packages empathy needs to work) [02:21] hey whats an easy way to configure cpufreq-selector to not ask for a root password when throttling? [02:21] Roasted, no haha, your ban [02:21] ben64: ok..thanks.i [02:21] I'll try that [02:22] mr_engineer - oh, I just have a problem... I speak my mind. [02:22] mr_engineer - got yelled at for being off topic. I was talking about kubuntu, but it wasnt on topic of "support". I of course said some things and bam - banhammer hit me in the face. [02:22] oh well :P life goes on [02:22] says ldconfig deferred processing now taking place Processing triggers for python-support ... [02:22] i just installed ubuntu using wubi, now when i boot ubuntu it just goes to sh::grub:> can someone help ? [02:22] tried entering y, didnt help [02:23] surgy, what? [02:23] off topic = banhammer? [02:23] sweet_sarah_jane: yes, it is just info about what it is doing to install the programs, you can safely ignore it unless you see messages with errors [02:23] Roasted, lol [02:23] Roasted, sometimes ops abuse [02:24] how do i get the processor make and model from ubuntu command line? [02:24] mr_engineer - well, I no doubt should have just shut up, but I agree. Sometimes I just feel like we're in kindergarten mode, and I'm just ready to pull the fire alarm. [02:24] cat /pro/cpuinfo [02:24] /proc/cpuinfo [02:24] rather [02:24] mr_engineer - big bad principal isnt a fan of that one :P [02:24] after a recent kernel upgrade my laptop will not make it into GRUB. It errors out with error 25. running on GRUB 1.5. does anyone know how to solve this? [02:25] Roasted, yes, I think we all do feel that way sometimes hehe [02:25] it will dump some stuff which will (hopefully) identify it [02:25] Hi there, I'm having a problem with playing some audio files with VLC player or Rhythmbox. It's in MP3 Audio Format, but when I try to play it I am told "The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed." Where can I get one? [02:25] Roasted, we might as well get warned in any second now, for being offtopic [02:25] what channel actually handles ubuntu issues? [02:25] mr_engineer - ahh, itll only be the 37th ban of 2009 :P [02:25] heh. always annoyed me that many distributions dont come with mp3 support. [02:25] bd1308: this is it [02:25] specifically polkit issues [02:25] worldwarcheese, have you tried installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:25] ben64: k I have a gateway ML6703...what should I be looking for [02:25] mr_engineer - think youll give samba another shot?

[02:28] como entro en xubuntu???? [02:28] i picked openssh and nothing else [02:28] timberwolf90: type "lspci -v" and look for the wireless card manufacturer === Guest47797 is now known as _bruno_xx [02:29] any polkit guru's here then? [02:29] what's the easiest way to get rid of openoffice and all associated taint? [02:30] esto esta muy confuso. alguien ???????? ayudaaaaa [02:30] !es | pegassus [02:30] pegassus: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:30] tambien hblas español === Guest26190 is now known as celthunder [02:31] gracias [02:31] i cant get wireless working on ubuntu [02:31] Roasted, yes [02:31] Roasted, I'm editing the conf file myself this time.. I've always used configuration editors (gui) [02:31] lol at 37th ban [02:32] booom. grub exploded. [02:32] mr_engineer - nothing wrong with using a GUI man. I use a GUI. The important thing is if you use a GUI, after you make changes, read the smb.conf and understand what the GUI was doing to make the changes happen. Its an interesting and practical way to learn how to edit the smb.conf manually. [02:32] me siento alegre esto me motivara mas a aprender y dominar el ingles gracias [02:33] Roasted, aye, I've used guis all my life, but they don't seem to be working haha [02:33] the samba ones [02:33] i cant get wireless working on ubuntu [02:33] WTF [02:33] i went back to the partition menu to check which disk it was [02:33] now, grub wont let me install because it claims i havent partitioned the disks [02:34] how can i install it manually? [02:34] mr_engineer - Ive used several samba guis, but theres only 2 I like. [02:34] mr_engineer - "samba" in add/remove (system-config-samba in synaptic) is pretty solid, but VERY basic. But its good for a user with basic needs. [02:35] ben64: what should I look for in the list from "lspci -v" [02:35] mr_engineer - Ive been using webmin lately, which gives you a lot more features. It pretty much has an ACL built in so you can allow/deny certain users to certain things. [02:35] my problem: play mplayer first then firefox flash video, then close video => firefox freezes ;; play flash video first, then mplayer => mplayer won't play audio [02:35] i'd partition again, but the installer makes no distinction between "partitioning" and "formatting". formatting again would mean i would have to install everything again. [02:35] i thought expert mode would be expert mode. === reesefrancis_ is now known as reesefrancis [02:36] Roasted, yeah, I think I've used the samba package to, but I don't know.. some are too basic, some are too complex.. There is stuff I'd rather not know when I use an advanced administrator [02:36] how can i set the permissions to read of one group of users? chmod g+r and then? [02:36] how can i make my internal mic work? [02:37] mr_engineer - I hear that. The samba tool is basic, but nice. I like the webmin gui cause I like playing around with a lot of stuff I probably shouldnt. However, the layout is very simple to use. [02:37] mr_engineer - I also used gadmin samba, which I was NOT a fan of. [02:37] Roasted, aye, me too haha [02:37] hi how do I install a .bin file ? [02:38] Oilut: What are you trying to install? [02:38] "this is a fatal error" [02:38] thank you, grub, for a descriptive error [02:38] leaf-sheep: adobeiar [02:38] that helps me fix the problem. [02:38] leaf-sheep: adobe air [02:38] Oilut: In that case, open a terminal. Do "chmod +x AbodeAir.bin" then "sudo ./AdobeAir.bin" [02:39] leaf-sheep: i forgot to chmod thanks [02:39] sixtila, use the "sound" applet and raise the volume [02:41] i am in need of some GRUB help please. I was usung Karmic (upgraded from jaunty) quite nicely until a kernel upgrade. now it hangs on boot with a GRUB Error 25. Can anyone help fix this? Will upgrading to Grub2 fix this?

[02:42] i need to edit out the comment on a line of code but i can't find the file [02:42] arooni-mobile, are you using a dell studio 14? [02:42] Oilut: It does not exist because you're not in right path. If it's on Desktop, do "cd ~/Desktop" then the commands. [02:42] arooni-mobile: try running alsamixer in a terminal and see if any channels are muted? [02:42] the file is themer/main.c for emerald [02:43] I have an acer aspire t180 (desktop) and i have keeps getting various errors during install and ideas? [02:43] jon_m21: so you want to patch the code and then rebuild the package? [02:43] ya [02:44] it appears that grub is failing to find the drive [02:44] sorry im installing ubuntu 9.10 === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:45] The partition tables of the following devices are changed: [02:45] SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) [02:45] could someone explain what that means [02:46] jon_m21: in the absence of anyone else offering advice, have you looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto for example? [02:46] i'll check it out [02:47] leaf-sheep: but when i type ls is shows the file [02:47] amazing. it cant find a boot device...because the installer isnt giving it one [02:47] leaf-sheep: and it is green [02:47] Is there anyway I can find out the location of the icon file a folder is using? For some reason all my folder icons work fine except those in my ftp:// folder [02:47] lilo complains about the wrong number of args [02:47] davep, please post your question all in one line so that everyone can follow [02:48] alright, i'll re state [02:48] how do i manually install grub? [02:49] Can anybody tell me how to execute a .bin file? [02:49] Oilut: You're misspelling the filename. Use tab to autocomplete instead of spelling out everything. [02:49] leaf-sheep: cool will try [02:50] Why do I need to type./ before executing some programs? [02:50] leaf-sheep: didnt work.... even with tab [02:50] Shwack: because its in the current directory and the current directory is not in $PATH [02:50] ./ = this directory/ [02:50] Oilut: What error? [02:50] leaf-sheep: i just installed ubuntu [02:50] maco: thank you, what is $path [02:50] leaf-sheep: same error, bash: ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: No such file or directory [02:50] Shwack: the list of directories to check to find executables [02:51] Shwack: try it "echo $PATH" [02:51] bash: ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: No such file or directory [02:51] maco: thank you - I'm assuming i could edit this list and put the directory then [02:51] tulio@tuliolap:~/programas$ ls AdobeAIRInstaller.bin Synquest.air tulio@tuliolap:~/programas$ ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin bash: ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: No such file or directory [02:51] maco: You really have patience -- I'll give you that! [02:51] Shwack: yes, you can set a different value for it in ~/.bashrc [02:51] Oilut: "sudo ./AdobeAirInstaller.bin" ? [02:51] maco: do you know how I can find the location of the icon a folder is using? [02:51] maco thank you very much [02:51] Shwack: no idea, i dont use gnome [02:51] k [02:52] if I did killall gnome would i be in trouble? [02:52] leaf-sheep: command not found..... [02:52] I just want to refresh all icons [02:52] Shwack: yes you would [02:52] Shwack: Somewhere in /usr/share -- I believe. [02:52] Shwack: gnome is your whole desktop [02:52] leaf-sheep: i found the icon file and changed it accordingly, now I need to refresh icons in folders because the change is not happening [02:53] Oilut: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/04/06/how-to-install-adobe-air-on-ubuntu/ [02:53] lol i type killall gnome anyway and it said gnome: no process found hopefully it idiot proofed me [02:53] Shwack are you on karmic? [02:53] TheCheeze: Yes [02:53] leaf-sheep: cool thanks [02:53] Ok.. [02:53] Shwack you can set the hotkeys to restart gnome by using ctrl-alt-backspace in the keyboard layout menu [02:54] Shwack: what TheCheeze is suggesting would log out out [02:54] Shwack: The sure solution would be to restart gdm or log out. [02:54] leaf-sheep: i did sudo chmod.,.... is it the problem? [02:54] Oilut: No. [02:54] now...Compaq D510SFF, Intel Itegrated graphics...works fine with 9.04...but freezes at random with 9.10...have to hard reboot to get it to comeback up. Seems like a huge problem, but I don't see a fix after a month. [02:54] !resetpanels [02:54] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [02:54] leaf-sheep: damn will try to redownload the file === sirloin_s is now known as sirloin [02:54] Oilut: Chmod -- Change the permissions.

[02:56] i am in need of some GRUB help please. I was usung Karmic (upgraded from jaunty) quite nicely until a kernel upgrade. now it hangs on boot with a GRUB Error 25. Can anyone help fix this? Will upgrading to Grub2 fix this? If so how can I do it without being in GNOME to start with? [02:56] killall nautilus worked === c is now known as charitwo [02:56] shaneprice[GGA], I have a feeling it cannot be far away yet I still understand what you mean [02:56] Hi, if I want to mount an external harddrive as ecryptfs, in my /etc/fstab file, in addition to specifying the type as ecryptfs, do I also need to specify the lowlevel fs type as ext3 somewhere? [02:57] shaneprice[GGA], It has soured my gfs experience with linux thus far [02:58] TheCheeze, looks like you have to reinstall grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=117271 [02:59] leaf-sheep: do you have any idea of what might be happening??? I really dont know.. Ubuntu is installed here for 30 minutes only [02:59] Oilut: Err? Did you not read the website and ran the commands? [03:00] hi [03:00] mezquitale would will the steps listed here work to upgrade to grub2 from grub 1.5 on a karmic system upgraded from jaunty? http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala [03:00] leaf-sheep: i can change the permissions but it keeps saying "sudo: unable to execute ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: No such file or directory" [03:00] mezquitale i tried the steps listed on that site but it errored out (i cant pastebin since i cannot boot unfortunately) [03:00] Oilut: that may be because the first line of the program contains instruction to invoke a script interpreter you don't have. It's a confusing kind of error. [03:00] If I can't change the virtual size of my desktop, is there any such thing as a scrollbar on the desktop, so I can see the bottom of the windows THAT way? [03:00] i am trying to install chromos on 9.10 i have downloaded image how do i use that image [03:00] Or you don't have a file by that name in the current directory. :) [03:01] leaf-sheep: again. the ls command lists the file, and it is green and I am using tab to autocomplete the filename [03:01] hi i have a question: when i plug in a usb hard drive nautilus tries to mount all the partitions. how do i stop this and manually mount the partitions (and pick which ones to mount)? [03:01] With Upstart, how do I disable X starting at boot? [03:01] Or third: the application may be an actual binary (not a script) and references a library you do not have installed. [03:02] Hey. I just need a link to a website which shows which software Ubuntu comes preinstalled with. [03:02] mimcpher: Using failsafe mode [03:02] TheCheeze, so you began having problems after you upgraded to karmic from jaunty?!? can you boot up to a command line mode? [03:02] Oilut: so what is the first line of the AdobeAirInstaller.bin? Use a commaned like "head -n 1 xxx.sh" to find out. [03:02] Oilut try > sudo /home//Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin < [03:03] or just $HOME/whatever.bin [03:04] ok, just checked it myself. It's a binary program, not a script. And it doesn't depend on anything special. And downloading it & running works just fine here, it seems. [03:04] Anyone know how to have grub1 pass back the boot process to grub2 - so if we have a karmic install and an older distro and we pass boot to grub1 and then want to come back to karmic's bootloader, what would the menu.lst entry have to look like [03:04] when im installing 9.10 "ubiquity" crashes at about 80% of install then the install fails any ideas? [03:04] angelus: didnt work =/ [03:05] Oilut: Delete the BIN file and try this -- "cd ~/Desktop ; wget http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/latest/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin ; sudo chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin && sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin" [03:05] mezquitale no it was running fine for quite a while after the upgrade/ the problems started today after i installe da kernel upgrade from the package manager and did not get to shutdown properly due to apower loss [03:05] alankila: head -n 1 xxx.sh may it be .bin? [03:05] Oilut: forget about it. [03:05] mezquitale and i cannot boot to anything. it hangs at "loading grub" and errors out with "error 25" after a while [03:06] hi [03:06] Can anyone help me with a system which is powercycling since installing uswsusp? [03:06] I have some .deb packages on my mac (older .debs I saved from PPA source). I would like to use them. I copied them to a USB stick and have the USB stick in my Ubuntu Machine... How do I access a USB drive from terminal (its a no-gui server install) [03:07] TheCheeze, I would reinstall grub and hopefully you can boot, I have never done that, you can ask again and hopefully someone has done that before or you can search through the forums [03:07] mezquitale i plan on tryin gto reinstall grub, the problem lies in figuring out how to [03:08] leaf-sheep: 01:07:59 (219.23 KB/s) - `AdobeAIRInstaller.bin' saved [13745012/13745012] sudo: unable to execute ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: No such file or directory [03:08] damn [03:08] Oilut: "sudo chmod +x *.bin" ? Try that. [03:09] Oilut: Run "pwd" and what path does it display. [03:09] hi all [03:09] Oilut: if you do "ldd AdobeAIRInstaller.bin", does it report any file as "not found"? [03:09] leaf-sheep: i will try to restart.... one minute [03:10] alankila: it sais not a dynamic executable [03:10] Hmm. I see. [03:10] the file is in /home/tulio/programas and i am running the commands from there [03:10] what exactly does it claim it to be: "file AdobeAIRInstaller.bin", then? [03:10] it was a dynamic executable here [03:11] alankila: that is all it sais [03:11] installed fine, but I don't think it actually worked. At least the uninstaller failed. [03:11] Oilut: no. Execute "file AdobeAIRInstaller.bin". [03:11] alankila: ok [03:11] anyone got a laptop and a trackpad ? i cant for the life of me get gsynaptics working [03:11] AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [03:12] alankila: 32BIT DAMN! [03:12] okay, so it's a 32-bit executable and you're on 64-bit system. That's why ldd didn't recognize it for you, I guess. It's stupid in that way. [03:13] perhaps you are missing something like ia32-libs package? [03:13] I have to find a installer for 64bits right? but i dont think it has darn it [03:13] Does someone runs xmonad at Karmic? Here it doesn't run. [03:13] alankila: how do i get the packages necessary? [03:13] Oilut: you're jumping to conclusions. I just installed the 32-bit AIR thingy on my 64-bit system. It installed, at the very least. But I don't think it quite worked. [03:13] Oilut: perhaps try http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408084.html#Installing_AIR_1.5_on_64-bit_Ubuntu_7.10__8.04_and_9.04 [03:13] trying lilo. [03:14] I just changed ubuntu to xubuntu - I have issue with wine - said it is broken package [03:14] trism: thanks [03:14] Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sda") [03:14] there is no raid. [03:14] what does this mean? [03:14] I did look in synpatic package manager but it doesn't do anything - I did uninstall/install [03:14] alankila: try to install this http://www.synquest.com.br/download/release/Synquest.air [03:14] yeah I saw that complain about libadobecertstore.so [03:15] !wine [03:15] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:15] Oilut: nah, it didn't work. But that page you were given contains a command that looks like it's probably useful. [03:15] anyway, I already uninstalled the thing. [03:15] Can anyone help me figure out to access a USB stick from terminal? I need to copy some files from the USB Stick to my Ubuntu home directory. Thank you. [03:15] !xmonad [03:15] !info xmonad | did [03:15] did: xmonad (source: xmonad): A lightweight X11 window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-5 (karmic), package size 440 kB, installed size 1560 kB [03:15] didi ^ [03:15] installing applications in linux is such a heap-of-fun. :D [03:16] hmm I have ubuntu and apparently the gnome theme. I need to do one of three things. Either shrink my desktop items (everything!), change my virtual resolution, or put scroll bars on the windows so I can see the bottoms...Can anyone help me? [03:16] Sierradump: type in terminal.. cd /media .. then type .. ls to get a directory listing.. one of those will be your usb stick.. typicaly.. then just cd [03:16] especially if they aren't done precisely as the open-source community wants them done. *sigh* [03:16] Scrollbars could be on the individual applications or desktop itself. [03:16] maco: It is not running here. It just hang at the gdm screen. :-/ [03:16] Scunizi - THANK YOU!!! Will that also show me my CD Rom drive (was tyring to find that the other day.) [03:16] I'm having a problem with my wireless networking. It worked before upgrading to Karmic (I did a fresh install since I was still back on 8.10). I am using a WUSB54G adapter to connect to an Airport Extreme using WPA2 security encryption. I used ndiswrapper beforehand to connect, but I've heard that my adapter should work regardless. Oh, I can see my network, it just won't connect after I type in my password. Any ideas? [03:16] Anybody - how do I repair the broken package - wine 1.2? [03:16] didi: did you setup a ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs based on the ones xmonad.org offers? [03:17] maco: No. [03:17] Sierradump: /media is where your partitions and usb sticks are mounted.. yes [03:17] didi: do that [03:17] didi: it needs to be configured to work === m4v_ is now known as m4v [03:17] maco: I will. [03:17] alankila: witch command? [03:17] maco: Thank you. [03:17] Scunizi thank you! [03:17] Sierradump: cd /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0 [03:17] the one about libadobecertstore.so. I guarantee you need to execute at least that much. Probably more. [03:17] Sierradump: :) np [03:18] once you have it installed. I think you need some 32-bit support. I'm not sure why you wouldn't have it already, since it just worked for me. But I don't know, try executing "apt-get install ia32-libs" and see if that helps [03:18] if it says it's already installed then there's no benefit from the command. [03:19] it appears that lilo cannot install from within a chroot, because the dev files for the drive arent there. [03:19] hello. how do i make sure the ati drivers are loaded and working correctly? [03:20] trism: the webpage tells to install a i386.deb file but it wont run here.... its AMD Turion X2 [03:20] david_: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [03:20] Shwack, it doesnt show anything [03:21] david_: There is a package you can get that will help you install the correct ati drivers - somebody in this room should know if you are patient and wait here. [03:21] ok [03:21] do you know the name of the package? [03:21] Does anybody know which package it is that you get to help with ati drivers? [03:21] Oilut: you are wrong. 64-bit systems retain backwards compatibility to 32-bit program code. However, all applications and libraries and whatever else support infrastructure needs to be in place before the apps will work. [03:21] david_: have you fully updated your system? [03:21] Scunizi, i installed it this morning and then updated it all [03:22] david_: True, I needed to fully update before installing graphics drivers [03:22] that page you were linked to is basically a long sequence of instructions for installing enough 32-bit support so that adobe air will work [03:22] i have everything updated, update manager doesnt show anything [03:22] alankila: i will try to open the .deb file then [03:22] So OpenOffice.org seems to have made up its own keyboard layout, and now I can't type < > and other such characters. [03:22] Any idea why? The layout is correct in other programs [03:23] david_: if you know what card you have google it with ubuntu.. like ubuntu 9.10 .. you should get references telling you if your card is compatible or not.. not all ati cards are compatible [03:23] alankila: it said ` wrong architeture i386` =/ [03:23] I think i am going to bed [03:23] haha [03:23] Scunizi, i will look [03:23] Oilut: *shrugs* no idea, I don't have a 64bit system, that was just an adobe support document I found, thought it might work [03:24] Oilut: ah, your attempt to install it failed? Still, that means you tried to install a 32-bit package not meant for 64-bit system. [03:24] I guarantee you can have 32-bit packages also on 64-bit system, but I guess they lie in dpkg metadata that they are for amd64 and they anyway install 32-bit files on the system. [03:24] anyone have gsynaptics and trackpad experience ? [03:24] david_: Applications > Ubuntu Software Center > Search for "Envy" [03:24] plus if all else fails there is the option --force-architecture. [03:25] anybody use a technical analisis software for trading?? [03:25] Oilut: uh, if you read that page, it doesn't tell you to install the deb, it says to extract it [03:25] I would try Envy first [03:25] but it's a stupid thing to do so I wouldn't do it [03:25] Oilut: there is a library you're suppose to install in 64 bit so you can load 32 bit programs.. unfortunatly I've forgotten what the name is :( [03:25] It seems to have chosen its own language settings, but google isn't turning anything up [03:25] trism: yes....i thout about it hehe [03:25] What does Compiz mean by button 5 etc.? [03:25] I'm on Hardy Heron, but I've got Firefox 3.5. It takes a VERY long time usually to close, and my cpu monitor shows I/O activity. What is Firefox doing? How can I make it faster? [03:26] hi all, i need help installing Karmic on a sata drive [03:26] AegNuddel: Mouse button 5 ? One on the side ? [03:26] I don't have 5 mouse buttons [03:26] kain_: that shouldn't make any difference.. what's happening? [03:26] Ben64: lookup some about cleaning up firefox's sqlite databases [03:26] got tired of firefox's bloat. so i fired it [03:26] can someone tell me what all to blacklist to completely remove any ar5008 support so i can use ndiswrapper. it seems no matter what i blacklist on reboot its still showing the interface. [03:26] AegNuddel: It might be that your button 4 is communicating on the default button 5 channel [03:26] Ben64: it stores history and bookmarks and such in databases and is writing them out. occasionally cleaning them up makes it faster [03:26] the installation doesn't see my sata drive [03:26] when it comes to partition [03:27] well that's odd [03:27] maco: got a place i should start? or just google? [03:27] I only have 2 [03:27] the installer attempts to install grub/lilo from within a chroot - without the dev files [03:27] hence, there is no way it could work [03:27] I can't initiate things when I don't know how [03:27] AegNuddel: Don't know what to tell you then - I wouldn't worry about it though [03:27] kain_: ouch.. there is a bug about that with a very limited number of drives.. sounds like you have the bug [03:27] Ben64: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2009/07/vacuum-your-firefox-databases-for-better-performance/ [03:27] AegNuddel: buttons 4 and 5 are wheel up/down events. [03:27] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/155359/ [03:28] I'm trying to set it up so I can see the rest of my desktop [03:28] can someone explain to me what to do when aptitude returns this? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/155359/ [03:28] the problem is, i had ubuntu 9.10 32 bit on it from an upgrade of 9.04 [03:28] maco: awesome, gonna try it [03:28] Ben64: or here http://www.gettingclever.com/2008/06/vacuum-your-firefox-3.html has a command to do all of them at once on linux (mozilla only gives one like that for windows) [03:29] i was able to install ubuntu on my sata drive before [03:29] ooh [03:29] i just don't remember how [03:29] bah thing still won't do anything [03:29] kain_: are you trying 64 bit now? or just reinstalling 9.10 32bit? [03:29] oops, ya, trying 645 [03:29] 64 bit [03:30] kain_: the gnome versioin or kde version? [03:30] gnome [03:30] before -- -rw-r--r-- 1 ben64 108M 2009-12-06 21:29 places.sqlite [03:30] small problem: i was doing a do-release-upgrade from a terminal within xwindows, and the screensaver turned on, and now typing into the unlock dialog doesn't work, so I can't get back to the upgrade process...is there any way to connect to the upgrade process from a tty? [03:31] kain_: you might want to try the kde version (kubuntu) .. I've read that there can be some significant differences in installing them on some machines. [03:31] hrm anyone? [03:31] hi guys [03:31] Scunizi : hmmm, i'll check it out, i've never tried kubuntu, i really liked ghome [03:31] gnome* [03:31] androver: no, but if it is quiescent it should be safe to kill it. You can recover the database to consistent state with dpkg --configure -a, which it suggests, and then finish. Do not reboot in any circumstance right now. [03:32] amazing. install size cut down to half by removing openoffice and all the junk it installed. im going to say it's a bug that it installed despite NO x11 environment [03:32] I did what the grub2 wiki suggested, but it made no difference with my problem. [03:32] can't right click on my desktop [03:32] When I go to boot, the system just hangs at the grub prompt. [03:32] having a half-finished dpkg update is almost surefire way to boot into broken system. I had to fix one stupid guy's machine twice because he kept on rebooting before updates finished. [03:32] johnfg: that happened to my friend ! [03:33] I did see that others are having the same problem and were expressing the wish to go back to grub 1.5. [03:33] trism: tulio@tuliolap:~/programas$ ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin Error loading the runtime (libsmime3.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64) [03:33] trism: ALMOSTTT hehe [03:33] kain_: I've been using gnome for 5 years. but have been running kubuntu in a vm.. I like it.. it's a different kind of polish and flexibility.. lots of the program names are different but in essense it's the same system.. once installed you might be able to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to restore gnome [03:33] Shwack, Did you friend fix or get the problem fixed? [03:33] Shwack, i installed envy, but when i go to Applications-System Tools-EnvyNG nothing happens [03:33] alankila: so is the dpkg process the one I should kill? [03:33] johnfg: I dont think so [03:33] androver: I'd start from the apt-get process. Usually the grandparent is the safest one to select for termination. [03:34] david_: i'm not familiar with using it , only that i've seen it suggested here [03:34] How do I access GDM? [03:34] david_: Try checking documentation for it [03:34] alankila: I don't see an apt-get process, just the dpkg [03:34] well, okay... I kinda expected there to be one [03:35] I *guess* you can just kill that, especially if it isn't doing anything. [03:35] AegNuddel: log out and you're staring at it [03:35] ok, thanks [03:35] trism: any idea? [03:35] oh [03:35] alankila: any idea? [03:35] hm [03:35] will have to look [03:35] ulio@tuliolap:~/programas$ ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin Error loading the runtime (libsmime3.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64) [03:35] Oilut: no, I haven't seen that. What did you do? [03:35] Shwack, it doesnt even start... [03:35] AegNuddel: gdm is the login screen [03:36] alankila: i did what they told on this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408084.html#Installing_AIR_1.5_on_64-bit_Ubuntu_7.10__8.04_and_9.04 [03:36] anyone know how to use envy? [03:36] !envy | david_ [03:36] david_: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [03:36] alankila: is it better for me to install a 32 version? [03:36] is there a real difference between both? [03:37] Oilut: less problems, I guess, if you use 32-bit systems. 64 bits ain't all it's cracked to be, as you have seen personally. [03:37] alankila: haha understood [03:37] anybody here using imagemagick? [03:37] will begin the downlolad now, then =D [03:37] jozefk: probably lots of us.. what's the question? [03:37] Scunizi, so i gotta get the gtk version, i proibably have qt [03:38] i'm wandering if I can do changes on all images in /folder and all subfolders as well? [03:38] david_: envy isn't supprted here.. or anywhere.. [03:38] alankila: it seems to be chugging along again, thanks! [03:38] more seriously, 64 bits adds another layer of errors. Open source stuff desperately needs repeatability, elimination of configurations, to make simpler deployment. [03:38] jozefk: should be able to .. there are command line switches to use it.. man imagemagick and then there are also lots of good tutorials on the web [03:39] the minor benefit from 64-bit for some special-purpose expert users is hardly the reason to just offer 64-bit systems to end users. One should treat them as properly dangerous. [03:39] thanks everybody trism alankila leaf-sheep I am going to bed! [03:39] i dont think 64bit is dangerous. simply not a lot of proprietary software vendors support it. that's their problem, though. just use free software. [03:39] command line switches? hmm maybe I'd ask in bash channel [03:40] it's not just proprietary [03:40] installing adobe flash in ff, anything wrong with doing it? [03:40] jozefk: to go through subdirectories and operate on files in them, you probably want the "find" command [03:40] anyone on my wifi issue? [03:40] Scunizi : i would really prefer to stay with gnome :( [03:40] <__skyl__> is there a way to --purge and then reinstall? [03:40] is it bad in any way? [03:41] if you like java programming, until this year you did not have but server vm meaning slow startup. If you'd like C# programming, you'd find that all new VM features are ported last to 64-bit if at all. If you want to browser the web with firefox, there's no javascript JIT for you even today in that browser. [03:41] 64 bits SUCK. [03:41] JoeSomebody: the package flashplugin-nonfree should cover you [03:41] ah ok i see, i need to use find together with mogrify [03:41] sweet_sarah_jane: i liked pidgin alot, been using it on all my machines even windows :P I dunno why i dont like kubuntu :) [03:41] kain_: if kde installs then you can install gnome and uninstall kde :).. it's the installation that your after.. if one won't do it and the other will .. well... it's just another way of skinning a cat. [03:41] alankila: um ive been using 64bit with java for a year and a half, so... no. maybe that was just with sun java? there are other jvms [03:41] maco thx [03:41] ubuntu should move to 32/64 hybrid like mac os/x instead of creating two separate versions [03:42] how can I cure "SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper"? [03:42] Scunizi : ok, well how would i install gnome and uninstall kde? [03:42] Voss: when you figure out how to make debs half the size so it can still fit on a CD, sure [03:42] maco: right. Let's just drop this topic before it gets out of hand. I'm too tired to argue about it. The loss of compatibility compared to basically zero benefit of 64-bit is what irritates me about it. [03:42] i don't mind 64bit. i myself have not had any issues with it on my 3 lappys. other then wifi issues always bit rate related tho. [03:42] kain_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install gnome and then.. (I'll have ubottu send you a link to remove kde.) [03:42] !puregnome | kain_ [03:42] kain_: 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 [03:43] thx [03:43] sure :) === Chriz is now known as Chr1831 [03:44] Voss: someone suggested fatelf format for linux recently. Just make one file support as many architectures as necessary. I'd think that is a good idea, or at least better one than this /lib32 /usr/lib32 stuff we got now. It'd be great to eliminate paths as one source of problems, and have smart installers that can just layer new architectures on top of existing files [03:44] I installed from a mini cd and installed network-manager, I also installed ndiswrapper and the driver for my wifi card, It connects but I don't get an ip adress, can anyone think of any reason that would be? [03:44] Just wanted to thank anybody who helps, contributes, or works on any flavor of Ubuntu. Have a good day. [03:44] so you can do dpkg -i foobar_i386.deb and if there was already foobar_amd64.deb the files would just fuse together [03:45] and no point to check/complain about mismatch in architecture because it isn't a problem. All you need to track is that requisite dependencies are already installed for that architecture. [03:45] Im Just installed Ubuntu for the first time and just need to know how I can have my extra hard drives perm mounted so I dont have to re-mount after every re-boot [03:46] in a bash script how can i assign current working directory to a variable [03:46] !fstab | Tek-5-8-6 [03:46] Tek-5-8-6: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[03:48] kain_: yep.. but if you're having problems with a cd that won't change with flash [03:48] alright thanks for the normal lack of help i always get here i'll go back to reading for a few days till i figure it out. ya know for such a large community the support really is not 2 great. later peeps.

[04:10] Yup, http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/bus-ar-invoices1.html [04:11] how do I find out what server we're ON right now? [04:11] FreeNode [04:12] do /whois Clueless2 [04:14] DarkSpirit .. good evening once again .. [04:14] Why is #wine invite only [04:14] livecd will not let me mount win7 partition, how can i access my files? knoppix let me mount it, but couldn't backup to another drive due to outdated ntfs-3g software. === linux is now known as mdg_ [04:14] Tiders: you want #winehq [04:14] Clueless2: It's morning here. [04:14] lol [04:14] Tiders: need to be registered? [04:14] Darkspirit... Linux's apps are mostly free .. why don't people realize that? instead they went to Microsoft? I guess there aren't many supports out there right? [04:14] DarkSpirit .. ;-) hehehe [04:15] it's 11:14PM Eastern Time Zone (USA) [04:15] BioVor3: if you need to be registered, the error message will say so [04:15] I could join it no problem.. probably because I was registered.. [04:15] Clueless2: Most of the software I got (inc Win7) I got for free. [04:15] All legal. [04:15] hi guys [04:15] Most of the software I use are freeware. [04:15] i am trying to use a ZTE MF622 modem with 9.10 [04:15] Win7 I got from Uni :D [04:16] DarkSpirit .. well ..i'm talking about server crap [04:16] I got 2 copies :D. Man I love x64 and x86 version. [04:16] it just shows up as a 'cd drive' (mass storage) and i can't get networkmanager to recognise it [04:16] BioVor3: #wine is a forwarding channel [04:16] Don't know much about server [04:16] rgr [04:16] Back to coursework. [04:16] besides, only used win7 because it came on my desktop and it addressed the 4gb limitations of XP [04:16] and only used windows because Guild Wars... [04:16] Win7 is nice. Way better than Vista and XP. === mdwright is now known as GuyFawkes [04:17] guyfawkes is now know as anonymous [04:17] Win7 = Vista minus a lot of bloat. [04:17] It's what happened with FF 3 to FF 3.5 [04:17] Hopefully next FF more things are gotten rid off. [04:17] Hahaha. I am not anonymous….or am I? [04:18] anyone play heroes of newerth here [04:18] went from mdwright to guyfawkes...and you understood the reference? yeah you are. [04:18] aaaaaaaaaaaand hes gone. [04:19] I would be on Kubuntu myself. But Win just makes things so much easier. [04:19] how do i install udev-extras on karmic? [04:20] DarkSpirit, Win?? [04:20] evolio_: gui way to console way? [04:20] Windows 7 [04:20] mt touchpad is detecting as "Macintosh mouse button emulation" id=10 [XExtensionPointer] as far as i can tell, how can i verify this ?? and change it is synaptic device ? [04:20] it says it can't find package [04:20] i'm using apt-get [04:20] Like now. I tried to create a new user on Ubuntu. I had the only user it wouldn't let me. [04:20] I had to use command line. Sudo bash then do it. [04:20] evolio_: you see it on packages.ubuntu.com ? [04:21] Nevermind I saw the "Click to make changes" [04:21] Man I should sleep === user_ is now known as prestox [04:22] halo [04:22] is it hard to get samba working with Ubuntu Server? [04:23] Make an Ubuntu Server with Samba and clients connect to it [04:23] DarkSpirit: nope. not really.. depends on what you call "hard" === patrick is now known as Guest27990 [04:23] just depends on how you want to handle wins authentication [04:23] BTW: Ubuntu 9.10 startup logo looks cool :D [04:23] hello again, in xchat is there a way to show timestamps in 12 hour format? [04:24] JoeSomebody: there is.. but I don't remember what it is.. [04:24] :) [04:24] DarkSpirit: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html [04:24] BioVor3: Can be setup within a hour and left to its own. [04:24] good to know [04:24] geirha: No Windows [04:24] 10 PCs 1 Server. Server allows login. [04:24] Like active directory [04:25] hi [04:25] DarkSpirit: want to use active directory for authentication? [04:26] No. I want to use just Linux. [04:26] Nevermind for now. [04:26] I need to worry about that later. [04:26] Right now so tired. [04:26] DarkSpirit: so linux is a fileserver and uses its local users authentication is fairly straite forward. [04:26] Cool [04:27] hi all [04:27] DarkSpirit: And the link I showed you covers that [04:27] I wanted to say I am a vampire (as in I do things at night) however I just realised that could be taken as I like Twilight. Damn that book has ruined Vampires. [04:28] yes it has lol [04:28] * SirMoo nods. [04:28] geirha: I mean Server has 10 accounts. When someone wants to login they cannot login locally. They got to login to the server. Like how Windows Server works. You logon to the domain [04:29] Professor Bell? [04:29] are you here [04:29] DarkSpirit: Oh, that has nothing to do with samba. [04:29] lol [04:29] i summon thee [04:29] What has that got to do with then? [04:30] Riffage-: Hey [04:30] hey professor bell [04:30] how are you [04:30] outsyncof: Trying to make a Twilight joke? [04:31] hey chaps [04:31] what's the correct virtualization tool to use for an XP guest on feisty? [04:31] I hate referencing [04:32] DarkSpirit: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/server.html [04:32] hey I was looking for the channel where kids just complain about their homework. Is that the fridge? [04:32] Scunizi : r u still there? [04:32] Isn't edubuntu for education [04:32] I need it for a company [04:33] dtork: Are you high? [04:33] !ltsp | DarkSpirit [04:33] DarkSpirit: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [04:33] DarkSpirit, no, I'm talking about the ubuntu fridge...isn't that the offtopic channel? [04:34] if i chgrp'd and chmod'd to root the dirs in my encrypted user directory, then rebooted my system... well now i can't access the encrypted files [04:34] Thanks geirha [04:35] If we want something developed more quickly we would go to ubuntu microwave and if we wanted something reworked we could go to ubuntu cuisinart ;-) [04:35] Gambit-: There are probably about ten alternatives, I'd go for Virtualbox due to simplicity, integration, (and price). [04:37] In bash how do you specify you want to match everything but [0-9]? [04:39] anybody know anything about disk encryption? [04:39] orange_: ''shopt -s extglob'', then ''echo !([0-9])'' [04:40] arand, noted. What would you go with if price wasn't a factor? [04:40] if i chgrp'd and chmod'd to root the dirs in my encrypted user directory, then rebooted my system... well now i can't access the encrypted files... any ideas? [04:40] orange_: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob [04:40] geirha: Thanks, I'll check out the link [04:40] hello. i'm setting up an ubuntu VM to be accessed using remote desktop. i've done the basic stuff like "allow other users to view your desktop" etc... now i want to increase the screen size so it's closer to my display, but it won't let me go any bigger than 1176 x 885. Any idea how i increase this? [04:41] what the crap do i have to do to get java browser plugins to work on karmic [04:41] rigel: tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras yet? [04:41] o.o Install it? [04:42] BioVor3: yep [04:42] !info sun-java6-plugin | rigel [04:42] rigel: sun-java6-plugin (source: sun-java6): The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6-15-1 (karmic), package size 1 kB, installed size 52 kB (Only available for all amd64 i386 lpia ia64) [04:43] ah finally an active channel [04:43] !hello | calebgodwin [04:43] i should probably have explained. i've tried to install icedtea-plugin, sun-java6-plugin, and ubuntu-restricted-extras, and at no point have i been able to run the java web applet i need to use for my homework [04:43] calebgodwin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [04:43] I just accidentally killed my entire session with an accidental control-alt-backspace. Is there any way to disable that? [04:44] i've restarted ff every time [04:44] So, any ideas how I can get around the grub problem so I can boot karmic? [04:44] puff: I think it is disabled by default if your running gnome.. [04:44] Can somebody help me with encrypting my hard drive? [04:44] BioVor3 I'm running gnome, and I can tell you it works fine. [04:44] rigel: try: sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun [04:45] Does anybody grok dpkg and apt and etc deeply? [04:45] geirha: no alternatives for anything [04:45] puff: ? [04:45] demonspork: hello [04:45] ( repost of what I asked hours ago ) Alright, so I need to help getting sound on Ubuntu Studio ( Latest addition ). I had it for a while but it's suddenly gone away. Pulse Audio says it detects sound, but nothing is coming out of my laptop speakers. Laptop is Gateway MX8738 and I'm pretty sure the sound is STAC9250... [04:45] so often when i try to use my address book in evolution that has its data stored on ubuntuone i get an empty address book.. can anyone tell me why this is happening? [04:45] portn0k: I have two questions/problems involvin dpkg and apt and the etc. [04:46] puff: then ask! [04:46] portn0k Okay, so what does dpkg --set-selections change? [04:46] puff: you running ubuntu 9.10? [04:46] Gambit-: It all depends on what the purpose is, and to be honest, I don't really know much beoynd some hobby virtualization really (distro testing, patch/bug/repackage testing etc.).. So I can pretty much just say that if you want to get into major virtualization virtualbox might lag behind, similarly I think latest vmware (free version?) might do 3D acceleration better (i.e. "at all"). [04:46] puff: man dpkg | grep "--set-selections" [04:47] rigel: It'll give some messages like that if you don't have all the java 6 pacakges (but you don't need all) so it's safe to ignore. Try restarting firefox again. [04:47] portn0k dpkg --set-selections just sets some flags, it doesn't actually install anyhting until you kick off the download-and-install part. Hoewver, when i tried that, I ran itno some dependency conflicts. I'd like to just revert the selections to whatever it was before I set them. [04:47] hey iam getting a weird error with dpkg,i am having jaunty [04:47] # [04:47] update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-17-generic [04:47] # [04:47] cpio: ./etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf: Cannot stat: No such file or directory [04:47] j0n22: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:48] rigel: And see if this one loads http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [04:48] BioVor8: Wtf? I'm running jaunty... except I just checked lsb-release to get the exact version, and it says intrepid. I have no idea how... [04:49] Hey everyone [04:49] FloodBot2: ok [04:49] Hey can anyone answer a question [04:49] portn0k I know what th emangepage says about set-selections, if that answered my question I wouldn't have asked here. [04:49] rigel: firefox also has a special page: about:plugins that displays which plugins are installed [04:50] I was looking at some images where u can like zoom out your desktop to a cube [04:50] and i downloaded compiz [04:50] i need to upgrade my bios and according to the msi site i have to be using windows to do that. is there a way out of this? lol [04:50] enabled everything that looks like it should be [04:50] but i cant get to the cube [04:50] i guess i can do it and put ubuntu right back on [04:50] anyone know how i can? [04:51] Digitalaxis, you need 4 workspaces on the bottom right of the screen [04:51] How do i do that? [04:51] however may workspaces you have will give you that many sides [04:51] right click [04:51] #Ubuntu [04:51] preferences [04:51] Sorry new to ubuntu, used to slack [04:51] i guess it's not seeing the plugin [04:51] change the number up or down [04:51] the java plugin isnt listed here on the about:plugins page [04:51] Ok now how do i like zoom out to see it as a cube [04:52] thats in the ccsm controls, you decide [04:52] Hi everyone... got a wild one for you: after letting Ubuntu sit for a couple of hours (its a laptop) without going into sleep mode, something kicks into hyperdrive on the laptop, and the screen will not stop painting / flashing. Any ideas? [04:52] sudo apt-get install ccsm [04:52] I have CCSM [04:52] why did ya leave slackware? if ok to ask, just curious [04:52] oh ok [04:52] rigel: Just to confirm that it is installed: aptitude search sun-java6-plugin [04:52] Digitalaxis: ctrl + alt +leftmouseclick [04:52] open ccsm and set the keyboard commands [04:52] 13 was a dissapointment [04:52] robert: thats kinda offtopic. wanna head to #ubuntu-offtopic for that? [04:52] lucky 13 lol [04:52] robert: the slackware bit i mean [04:53] rigel: there should be an i at the start of the line [04:53] maco, i'm helping him at the same time, a little small talk is no biggy, chill lol [04:53] I get that robert, but like, i dont know what should and shouldnt be enabled [04:53] I may have done it wrong [04:53] Digitalaxis, thats up to you [04:53] you decide what the controls are [04:53] in the ccsm settings [04:54] Hello, I have set up Launchers with firefox -P username -no-remote This works just fine except i cannot open more than 1 window. Is there another way to do this where i can open up two windows? [04:54] I guess what im saying is there is no "zoom out to cube" option [04:54] so i dont know what to set [04:54] Digitalaxis: If you go to System -> Prefernces -> Appearance -> Visual effects, then select Normal, it will reset the compiz-configuration to the default [04:54] geirha: yep, it's installed [04:54] i need to upgrade my bios and according to the msi site i have to be using windows to do that. is there a way out of this? lol [04:54] DigitalAxis: what happens when you do ctrl+alt+down? [04:54] brings up like a tab bar [04:54] in the middle of my window [04:54] with all 4 options [04:55] how do i upgrade my grub loader? i upgraded to karmic but don't know how to update the grub [04:55] rigel: Ok, try closing firefox again, then type in a terminal: pgrep firefox it should not output anything, if it does, firefox is still running === rza_sharp is now known as rzasharp [04:55] rigel: and if so, pkill firefox to kill it [04:55] robert: update-grub (or something like that; it's been a while since i've used debian) [04:55] Any idea Dr? [04:55] DigitalAxis, how about holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse (I think this is how to activate the cube zoom option... or it os somthing close). [04:56] i was playing an old dos game and it put ubuntu in 640x480, and now the menu is so close together, i can't change my screen resolution back. i am using the nvidia driver, can someone tell me how to change my screen resolution without going into the menu? [04:56] rigel: Clicking the X in the upper right corner doesn't necessarily close firefox. It only does that if it is the last firefox window open. [04:56] anyone here know of something I can do to ubuntu to simply have an email notifcation icon appear upon new email? [04:56] geirha: it's closed. did not have to kill it [04:56] itilious: depends on your mail client [04:56] 2.6.31-16 the current grub? [04:56] is it beta grub? [04:56] Hi everyone... got a wild one for you: after letting Ubuntu sit for a couple of hours (its a laptop) without going into sleep mode, something kicks into hyperdrive on the laptop, and the screen will not stop painting / flashing. Any ideas? Only rebooting fixes it. [04:56] itilious, i use gmail, its browser based [04:57] rzasharp, i don't know [04:57] does the grub change automatically during upgrade? [04:57] So, no help on the dpkg question? [04:57] robert: yes, grub gets updated during update [04:57] DrDamnit, i had the same problem, there's at least 2 ways to fix it lemme look brb [04:57] still no java plugin [04:58] rigel: :/ Then I'm out of ideas on what oculd be wrong [04:58] blackman, thanks [04:58] hi , what is a good internet bandwdth monitor for this os? [04:58] robert, i use thunderbird [04:58] Okay, here's a second question, can I get the package dependency info in a fairly structure fomrat? (structured enough that I can parse it and use it in a program). [04:58] robert, how can i do it with simply a gmail account? [04:58] toast.net has a decent speed test [04:58] I have a little perl scrip that I put together that measures the size taken up by the files for each package. [04:58] speakeasy.org is a pretty good one also [04:59] http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ [04:59] speedtest.net has a nice one that encompasses speakeasy and several other sites [04:59] also a nice ISP ranking system [04:59] Oh, also, is there any way to tell what files are added or changed after a package was installed, short of comparing it with the original package file? [05:00] i could care less about this but my gf buggin me bout it.. is there a fix for yoville and ubuntu yet? [05:00] i am looking for a panel applet showing me upload and download speeds, anything like that? [05:01] is anyone in here familiar with yoville? === hans is now known as goose [05:01] hey DrDamnit i found it [05:01] there are 2 ways that i know of [05:02] the first way i discovered is to just to remove power manager [05:02] i have checked the forums and have yet to find any workarounds [05:02] anyone know how to generate 1 md5 hash for a folder and everything in the folder? [05:02] cool. I hate power management. [05:02] DrDamnit, the 2nd solution i learned is to remove gnome-power-manager and install kde's guidance-power-manager [05:02] i just reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 and it went throught the whole installation fine and now it boots up to the point where you see the white ubuntu sign and it sets there for a minute and then the screen goes black and it does nothing.... can someone help please? [05:03] me personally i don't need power manager, but those that do can use the one for kde and it doesn't have the flickering problem [05:03] DrDamnit, lemme guess, you have an msi also? [05:03] or some other netbook? [05:03] Correct me if I am wrong, power management makes my laptop "green," right? I am an all on all the time kind of guy... so I don't think I'll need it. [05:03] HP nc6400 [05:03] i have 9.10 on an acer aoa150.. runs great [05:04] good morning [05:04] i maxed the ram out to 1.5 tho [05:04] hi all [05:04] i just reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 and it went throught the whole installation fine and now it boots up to the point where you see the white ubuntu sign and it sets there for a minute and then the screen goes black and it does nothing.... can someone help please? [05:04] anyone does know about html-php-mysql? [05:04] I'm having an interesting situation with the Ubuntu netboox remix and an acer netbook [05:04] is there a known issue? [05:05] maxus_: what model? [05:05] darlykaiser: I am a php/mysql (and therefore by extension HTML) programmer. [05:05] i hate netbook remix lol to me its so in the way [05:05] but thats just my opinion [05:05] i had the nbr on mine.. i don't like the nbr layout so i ditched it for the full version [05:05] robert: thanks! Uninstalled power manaer. [05:05] aspire one D250 [05:05] microlith: should i just get the vanilla version instead [05:05] compiz works good on it too.. it is eyecandy at school.. haha [05:05] good evening everyone [05:05] DrDamnit, i think you'll have to restart to make it fixed [05:06] DrDamnit, yw [05:06] Can you guys help me get my printer to work it's a lexmark 2300 series [05:06] DrDamnit, you using a netbook?

[05:06] robert: no, HP notebook (nc6400) [05:06] DrDamnit: If there is an option that the form tag can transfer to many php files? [05:07] i've been using ubuntu since mid october.... love it.. i was using windows 7 before [05:07] darlykaiswer: check your pm window, we can talk about it in there since that's not really an ubuntu question. [05:07] this is a wierd question however i have a turion x2 ultra zm-85 processor the l2 cache size SHOULD be 2000 sysinfo says its 1024. everything else looks ok tho i have 3.7k out of 4k ram... but how do i fix this l2 cache?

[05:10] this is supper lame [05:10] i having some problems trying to install a kernel, when install the .deb http://paste.ubuntu.com/336316/ [05:11] looks like 9.10 is a complete bust [05:11] horrible [05:11] maco thanks i did discover the pae on my searches, however i do not run the 32 bit version i run 64 uname -a says 2.6.31-16-generic x86_64 if i still install pae is there a way to do it without reinstalling ubuntu (ie from synaptic) [05:11] and no one can even help me [05:11] ndan: oh! even with 64bit all 4gb dont show? now THAT is odd [05:12] ndan: sounds like a bug [05:12] sounds like a hardware issue to me [05:12] should i check the xorg for my resolution? could i be at too high of a refresh rate? where is the xorg located? [05:12] ndan: microlith also has a point. have you run a memtest? [05:12] maco, indeed however its not particularily the ram i'm worried about right now, i was wondering, how do i get ubuntu to recognize the additional 1k l2 cache? [05:13] ndan: no idea, sorry [05:13] maco, correct, i have ran memtest, and this laptop is new (about 2 months old) [05:13] ndan: cpu/chipset? [05:13] surgy, if you google "ubuntu karmic on (your select computer model) it should bring up one of the links directing you to common bugs with different systems listed alphabetically [05:13] i installed kde on ubuntu 8.10 and it gives me KDE 3.5 [05:14] ? [05:14] hey guys will be a gui soundmixer on default in the next ubuntu version again? [05:14] loooooooool, have you tried installing 9.10 and see what happens? [05:14] in 9.10 im missin it [05:14] robert: I tried that, but that was pretty funny [05:14] i installed it from terminal [05:14] microlith, a link to the specs on amd's site http://tinyurl.com/yh72quf [05:14] loooooooool: um 3.5 isnt in 8.10's repos at all [05:15] i'd assume the repositories give me the latest version [05:15] loooooooool: i mean, a few apps were 3.5 back then [05:15] AMD Turion™ X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor zm-85 [05:15] loooooooool: change your name [05:15] el_compA, i try to spread a little humor when i can lol [05:15] loooooooool: but most should be 4 === kristopher is now known as kris2345 [05:15] robert my computer model doesnt exsist because i built it..... [05:15] Could [05:15] * couldn't find it [05:16] how do i get xrandr to list the available outputs? [05:16] loooooooool, you probably needed to install kubuntu-kde4-desktop or something of the sort. Installing kubuntu-desktop might have still been 3.5. That's assuming you installed kubuntu overtop of an ubuntu install. [05:16] hang on, let me google that... [05:16] Trailpups: no, kubuntu-desktop was DEFINITELY 4 in 8.10. 8.04 is the last where 3.5 existed [05:16] loooooooool: you sure you have 8.10 not 8.04? [05:16] surgy, thats partly why i recommend using retail computers for Linux, makes it much easier to report bugs so developers can fix them [05:16] Ah, okay maco, then maybe he has 8.04 or 7.10. [05:17] I dont reccomend retail computers for ANYTHING [05:17] i don't know much, most of my contributing is reporting bugs that i find, even if they're already reported lol the more they're complained about the more likely developers will fix them [05:17] retail computers are overpriced and may use restrictive hardware [05:17] Digitalaxis, really? how come? [05:17] oh i see [05:18] how can i set up two launchers - 1 to open default profile, 1 to open custom profile.. and be able to open multiple windows of either??? [05:18] Hoe do I do a text installation with an Ubuntu 8.04 CD? [05:18] sorry for firefox [05:18] for prebuilt, id buy alienware or voodoo... overpriced, but best of the lot [05:18] hoe=hoW [05:18] yeah but i can build a computer with better specs for half the price blackman [05:18] I've heard alienware is crap. ._. === david is now known as Guest80051 [05:19] blackman, my netbook was 299. it has built in webcam and voice mic, 169 GB HDD hard drive, 1 GB ram, i think its a reasonable price [05:19] robert: laptops and *books are exceptions, yes [05:19] oops i meant 160 lol [05:19] For laptops pre-built is best [05:19] robert: its possible to build your own portable, but it usually ends up as a gimmick [05:20] robert: btw, what netbook are you using [05:20] Shwack, don'think you can open them simultaneously. You can open a profile by firefox -P profile name. I think you open the profile manager with firefox -P. [05:20] nope, can't work it out. anybody used xrandr before? [05:20] hello [05:20] laptops and desktops are pretty much sold the same price these days, the only reason i could see getting a desktop is to make it yourself and save money. that and if you like to change out hardware a lot [05:20] ok I am having some problems with my install [05:20] puff: sorry, i assumed you, like a lot of people, didnt read the manpages [05:20] I am currently talking to you via irssi [05:20] :O ircing as root?!?! [05:20] blackman, msi wind u100 [05:20] Trailpups: you can open them simultaenous by addin g-no-remote to the end of the command . but you can only have 1 window of each [05:21] robert: i have a u100 aswell :) [05:21] i have a question for the ubuntu people that would know, my brothers are running a call center in the Philippines and they are running ubuntu on some old p4 cpus with only 512 ram. they are telling me that in an idle state that ubuntu is using 30% to 40% of the cpu and we need to get that turned down to run the viop software better. so is there a way to do that? [05:21] blackman, it was a nightmare running karmic with default settings [05:21] robert: do you have problems watching flash videos? [05:21] when i try to startx it does nothing.... when i try to boot normally it shows the white ubuntu sign for a min and then does nothing [05:21] robert: im using arch linux [05:21] blackman, oh so you know about the brightness loopy lol [05:21] blackman, oh ok [05:21] robert: flash is very slow for me === root_ is now known as surgy [05:22] 64 bit flash is still buggy [05:22] so there is no one who know anything about my problem? [05:22] Shwack: Would http://gaarai.com/2009/02/23/multiple-firefox-profiles-in-ubuntu/ and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments help you? [05:22] karma_police: i take it you like radiohead :) [05:22] oh yes [05:22] blackman, i had to either remove power manager or install kde's guidance power manager. i don't even use power management so i just removed [05:23] Okay Shwack. Then you could just make a launcher then with firefox -g-no-remote -P Profile_name. Just tested it and it worked. [05:23] blackman, flash is ok on my end. slow sometimes but then again flash isn't the most efficient format, it just won the market by advertising lol [05:23] ... [05:23] Still cant get my desktop to the cube type thing, there anything like teamviwer for ubuntu so someone can show me how [05:23] i was lusky.... everything worked out of the box with 9.10 only thing i had to do was blacklist my usb wireless adapter [05:23] -no-remote -g-no was a typo [05:23] lucky* [05:23] blackman, a rolling release like arch, does the constant changes present a lot of bugs? [05:23] when i boot into ubuntu i see the white ubuntu screen then i see nothing [05:24] just wondering, even the length of 6 months for ubuntu can be a nightmare for some [05:24] do you have the compiz frontend? [05:24] robert: actually, i dont like arch anymore. im going to try http://sta.li and LFS [05:24] like me [05:24] and no one seams to know anything at all [05:24] robert: i agree that it is bug prone [05:24] yeah i have CCSM karma [05:24] and why is my xorg empty? [05:24] i honestly think 6 months isn't enough testing time really [05:24] robert: but i dont like it anymore because of their policies and because the devs dont listen [05:25] surgy are you sure that its not a hardware issue? [05:25] blackman, what policies? [05:25] hello [05:25] No one wants to help me:( [05:25] karma_police: yes i was playing far cry 2 about 3 hours ago on this machine in windows [05:25] robert: they dont like patching, and they dont like whitespace patches either (style patches) [05:25] Hi, does anyone know of any performance issues on: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, kernel 2.6.24-24-server with VMWare 2.0.2? [05:25] robert: they still use dcron, syslog-ng, lotsa stuff they dont want to change for no reason [05:25] And possibly how to resolve them. [05:25] Somebody cann help me how to configure my wireless on Intrepid [05:25] blackman, how can a distro be successful if the devs don't fix stuff?

[05:25] robert: very stubborn [05:26] maybe a corrupt download? [05:26] karma_police: a corupt download...... [05:26] karma_police: can we do soem diagnostic stuff? [05:27] i'm a noob to ubuntu.. i left windows in mid october [05:27] Does anyone know how to enable the "cube" thing on ubuntu? Enabled everything i think should be enabled in CCSM [05:27] If someone could like teamview me or something i would appreciate it [05:27] khensthoth: I followed your links and am attempting to get this to work. one moment [05:27] i dont even know where to start without my xorg [05:27] i love software that auto configures itself to use a folder that doesnt exist. [05:27] i remember when in stores laptops costed more than desktops now they cost less === Mck is now known as mcKitteh [05:27] i was lucky enough to not encounter any probs yet [05:27] Digitalaxis, if you have ccsm it should already be enabled [05:27] aside from the flash issues.. or headaches uninstalling empathy [05:27] where is everyone when i need them..... [05:28] Digitalaxis, if you want 4 sides, then select to have 4 workspaces [05:28] is there any reason that transmission is VERY slow at talking to trackers? [05:28] i dont consider my u100 apt for being a main pc, even though it is for me, unfortunately :) [05:28] I do robert [05:28] surgy: If you are talking about xorg.conf, I don't think Ubuntu needs that anymore. It's automatic now. You can try to generate one and use it though. [05:28] like, it takes 5 minutes to realise that the first 4 trackers are offline before it finally tries number 5... [05:28] can someone please help me with my installation problem? [05:28] does anybody have any idea why my ubuntu clock is always off? the timezone is correct but ubuntu wont show the correct time [05:28] I just cant find how to like zoom out to show the cube [05:28] robert: how is battery life for you? mine lasts around 2:20 [05:28] Need help mounting a drive. [05:28] Shwack, works with firefox -P Profile_name -no-remote. [05:28] > Hi all, i have a ubuntu 8.04 LTS host with server 2.0.2 installed, i have an issue with performance, my windows guest is running amazingly slow, yet this host machine used to have windows on it running vmware server, and it was fine... Any performance tweaks i should know? [05:28] blackman, my msi serves its purpose, i don't run a lot of apps at once or play games [05:29] surgy.. are you doing a live install? from usb or cd? [05:29] blackman, mine pretty much stays plugged in. i don't even use the battery unless i take it elsewhere [05:29] khensthoth: well i dont know whats wrong or why my comp just shows a black screen when booting into ubuntu but i think it might be the refresh rate... although my monitor doesnt complain [05:29] Trailpups: yes - the trick is having no-remote on the 2nd and getting hte first to always open default so you can have multiple windows of the first [05:29] karma_police: from cd [05:29] ill just reinstall see you guys later === Guest80051 is now known as Peto [05:30] did you try to run it from the cd? or just install? [05:30] sudo reboot [05:30] irssi is amazing IRSSI FTW [05:30] I got it working - all is well - thank you [05:30] my windows os serves its purpose. it stays away from the computer, on the disc, in the box with the manual stuff. that way its save, secure, virus free, and off my computer lol [05:30] i think he may have dl a corrupt distro or bad cd burn [05:31] blackman, you use your battery a lot? [05:31] hi guys [05:31] i have a problem in my textbook [05:31] whats a textbook? [05:31] how long has everyone been ubunting? just curious [05:31] robert: not really, but im still disapointed with it [05:31] Any help with getting ubuntu 8.04 LTS to work like a server operating system and not a prehistoric sloth? It runs VMWare extremely slow, and my guest operating system is barely functional. [05:32] 5.04 for me. [05:32] blackman, doesn't have great battery life for sure [05:32] blackman, its not an issue for me, but it would be for many netbook users [05:33] Hey all, I have a bunch of jpegs which are the pages of a comic book, how can I turn them into a cbr or a pdf? [05:33] just make a zip file, insert them, rename to .cbr [05:33] 9.04 for me.. lol. 'm still in the excited state... the new feeling still hasn't worn off [05:33] ... seriously. xD [05:33] robert: yea, i've been meaning to buy a 9 or 6 cell for it, and buy a 500gb hdd/extra ram === dvz-_ is now known as dvz- [05:33] sweet, i added a lvm drive! [05:33] ubuntu, thanks [05:33] robert: but i guess that buying a new netbook is just a better deal [05:33] took me a long time, found out the cd burner on my wife's laptop is bad [05:34] blackman, is a 2nd gig of ram really a big difference on an atom processor? how much ram can it handle? === anonymous_ is now known as gantrixx [05:34] eh, if you run window [05:34] s [05:34] 2gb is very helpful [05:35] robert: the u100 can handle 2gb ram.. articifial imposition by microsoft since they didnt want people using >2GB on machines with windows xp... [05:35] i bet xp is a nightmare on a netbook [05:36] yes it is a nightmare ..,i had bad experiences with it [05:36] i tried out kubuntu netbook edition [05:36] robert, although I'm on UNR now, my particular netbook came with XP installed and it ran great :/ I even have a friend that dual-boots his netbook with XP and, get this, 7 Ultimate [05:37] it lacks customization ability, which is opposite of what kde normally is supposed to be [05:37] any folks here can tell me how to run a computer with out a hard-disk..? [05:37] ultimate? lol thats crazy fizix [05:37] armence: otherwise, use openoffice draw to export to separate pdf pages which then can be combined using the cli utility pdftk. [05:37] smartworld, your bios would need to support booting from USB or CD, as you can boot from the LiveCD [05:37] arand: I did the zip then rename thing and it works wonders, thanks though... [05:37] smartworld: you mean to mount the root fs from the net?

[05:43] it must be a volatile memory [05:43] blackman, that looks very complicated lol i think i better just install the recovery cd just long enough to get the bios update from msi, the clear ms off right after that [05:43] blackman: i can't use google because im in cli, can you guide me thru this pls [05:43] robert on need to install - use ubuntu live cd to make live usb as i told u before [05:43] !google > blackman [05:43] blackman, please see my private message [05:43] marco: lynx [05:43] marco: install elinks :) [05:43] dont have [05:43] not my machine [05:43] no privileges [05:44] sara1, live usb with the bios update?

I had a pay service called RELAKKS that did this before, I think using PPTPD or something. Can someone tell me what I need to do? [06:11] Guest55483: there is an easier way. Is your friend using gnome? if so. System -> preferences -> Display [06:11] why don't my desktop and terminal match? [06:11] robert: if you're really daring, you could try but i highly recommend you use FreeDOS/Windows but if you can't, don't bother updating the BIOS anyway [06:12] sgnte, nah it's crunchbang... openbox is WM. [06:12] gonna see if it worked brb [06:12] robert: if you're comp is a dell, you don't have to use *DOS/Windows to do that, though. [06:12] D'OH [06:12] too late [06:12] sgnte, i think he is going to give up trying for the night [06:12] Guest55483: ok, then try xrandr.

[06:14] robert: how'd it go? [06:15] Guest55483: Did he had the monitor connected to his VGA port? also, what video card does he has? I think xrandr does not work for the propietary nvidia drivers. I'm not sure [06:15] well looks like i have to install the recovery windows cd while i sleep and update the bios tomorrow [06:15] ok [06:15] can't wait to get it over with and get microshit back off my machine lol [06:15] if xrandir is the thing that lets you get your display "unstuck" when the resolution gets messed up, I can say that it does too work [06:15] is it really that important that you update your BIOS?

[06:32] racecar56, i installed from synaptic [06:32] Quan-Time: will do, I'll keep looking for now [06:33] kraitos: then it's a package. [06:33] kraitos: try re-installing it [06:33] kraitos: and if you want to, you could try purging and installing. [06:33] racecar56, from synaptic or from the software center [06:33] kraitos: it doesn't matter.

[06:35] apt-file search stddef.h did not yield much either [06:36] o.. [06:36] DerKlempner: like this /dev/sdb6 /mnt/F vfat rw,users,auto,exec,uid=1000 0 0 [06:36] what's this? [06:36] Who are you? [06:36] yuxb, ubuntu support channel [06:37] Hi, for some reason nautilus is showing a 105,9gb entry in the places menu, i don't have that partition, any ideas? [06:37] yuxb, did you have an ubuntu support question [06:37] daredevilthere: okay, so the /mnt/F folder -- do have ownership or the proper permissions to write to that folder? [06:37] DerKlempner: is that needed too ? [06:37] DerKlempner: ls -alg might tell you [06:37] May I change to another channel? [06:37] yuxb: Of course. [06:37] yuxb, sure, /join #channelname [06:37] yuxb: /join #channel [06:38] thanks [06:38] DerKlempner: whn i change the ownership.it says operation not permitted [06:38] daredevilthere: Of course, just because the partition is mounted doesn't mean that you're automatically the owner of the folder it's mounted into, or that you have permissions to read/write/execute there. [06:38] daredevilthere: Is it owned by root? [06:39] DerKlempner: yaa [06:39] daredevilthere: consider the /etc/fstab folder for these permissions on mount [06:39] And how to list the channels? [06:39] s/folder/file [06:39] yuxb: /list [06:39] Hi, for some reason nautilus is showing a 105,9gb entry in the places menu, i don't have that partition anywhere, any ideas? [06:39] yuxb: that will likely flood your client [06:39] yuxb: there are thousands of channels here [06:39] Ascavasaion: that's a very old processor, but i agree, why WOULDN'T it install? try the CLI version, though (if you arent already) [06:39] yuxb, please /join #freenode for this [06:39] daredevilthere: If it's going to be a permanent mount and always want access, just change ownership from the command line. [06:39] ok. [06:40] racecar56: CLI? [06:40] Ascavasaion: i have a Intel Pentium 90MHz with the FDIV bug :p [06:40] DerKlempner: that seems like a pita when fstab would do it for him every boot ;/ [06:40] Ascavasaion: yeah. command line interface [06:40] DerKlempner: alrite but do i have to unmount to change the ownership or it can be done like that [06:40] racecar56: No, I have the graphical one... cannot DL the other ISO because my Internet cap is limited per month. [06:40] aptget: that looks like it should be working. What command are you using to compile it? [06:40] Quan-Time: I'm going to just use rsync this time - but it's worth noting that the Filezilla FTP/SFTP client is cross-platform and is in the Ubuntu repos. I've used it on Windows and while I think the UI is horrific it does the job (bandwidth limiting + queuing) [06:40] hi [06:40] Ascavasaion: it's a command prompt and no GUI. maybe you could get twm or some terribly lightweight wm (and if you're lucky, a DE) [06:41] portn0k: I agree, but if it's mounting into a root-owned folder, then the new folder for the mount will be auto-owned by root. [06:41] how to use the ATI open driver instread of the proprietary one or amd cccle [06:41] Hello, I downloaded the driver for my WLAN adapter from launchpad, A patch file was released for it, but no instructions for how to apply it, can anyone help?

[06:42] indus: the driver is called "radeon" i believe. [06:42] portn0k, it's plain text file with code in it [06:42] Ascavasaion: i think that'd work. [06:42] djarrum: provide the link [06:42] Hello [06:42] so i am trying to install ubuntu on an older pc..using the text based installer..and it has failed twice during the select and install software part..any workarounds?

[06:43] racecar56: But how the heck to get Ubuntu to install... sigh... Mandrake 8.2 installed okay... but I want Ubuntu. [06:43] anyone else having this problem? [06:43] aptget: it works for me for some reason [06:43] racecar56: Youmean you have just he processor? hehe [06:43] portn0k: it just says something about it failing and that i can re run it if i want [06:43] Ascavasaion: yes.

[06:43] aptget: what error are you getting? [06:43] portn0k: its during the select and install software part, it downloads like 900 plus files and fails towards the end of it [06:43] nullp0inter: iirc the disk comes with an option to check it for defects, have you done this? perhaps you burnt the iso too fast and something phuxd up [06:44] lstarnes: Im jealous [06:44] racecar56: I threw out a whole pile of old 386/486/and P1 motherboards when I got married.

[06:44] Hi, for some reason nautilus is showing a 105,9gb entry in the places menu, i don't have that partition anywhere, any ideas? [06:44] futuro82: install debian. Its installer will be able to clear ubuntu's partitions and I think it will be able to detect vista and dual boot it [06:44] racecar56: Where are you from? I am from South Africa. [06:44] where can I find a driver or something to make my internal Internet card work on my laptop [06:44] djarrum: refer to pm [06:44] Ascavasaion: USA [06:44] but when I ssh -X into the guest and run firefox, it somehow jumps out and runs my host firefox [06:45] racecar56: A tad far for you to pop around to pick it up hehe [06:45] portn0k, pm?

Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [06:45] topo do you have a windows partition ?? [06:45] any ideas why the hell that is happening? [06:45] Ascavasaion: maybe get a tiny debian lenny business card CD and then "hack" /etc/apt/sources.list :D [06:45] aptget: you have build-essential installed right? [06:45] Ascavasaion: where it'd use ubuntu's repos. [06:45] lstarnes: yea, and the kitchen sink [06:45] Ascavasaion: i highly doubt that'd work for you, though [06:45] I do have an old P1 motherboard/ AT case, 32M RAM here... but I suspect either the processor or MB is blown. [06:45] Gambit-: you are running firefox from the ssh session, right? [06:45] DerKlempner: /dev/sdb6 /mnt/F vfat rw,users,auto,exec,uid=1000 0 0 [06:46] portn0k, what is PM? [06:46] racecar56: Me as well hehe [06:46] Ascavasaion: cool.

[06:46] Ascavasaion: :D [06:46] angelus: I do but it's a different size, and the weird entry does not open [06:46] lstarnes, both "ssh -X foo@host firefox" and just ssh -X in, and run firefox. [06:46] lstarnes, both do it. [06:46] Ascavasaion: is it the same 60MHz FSB? [06:46] DerKlempner: whn i write this uid=1000 option and then mount and then try to change the owership it does it else without it says operation not permitted [06:46] lstarnes: build-essential? [06:46] er [06:46] Ascavasaion: or you don't know [06:46] lstarnes: done that a couple of times. Thank for trying, its appreciated [06:46] disregard that, i suck cocks [06:47] hello, ubuntu logs off, when fullscreen video playing (air&flash applications) or valknut downloading . how can i know what the problem? [06:47] About 5 years ago I had a 386DX machine running FreeBSD as a gateway machine. [06:47] racecar56: No idea. [06:47] daredevilthere: The uid flag sets the ownership of the files in the partition, not the folder it's mounted to. [06:47] Ascavasaion: k [06:47] aptget: which version of gcc are you using? [06:47] Ascavasaion: :D my router/firewall runs freebsd [06:47] Ascavasaion: i have a collection of old commodore 64 games. :D [06:47] DerKlempner: so that means i also have to use this option [06:48] racecar56: WOW... museum stuff!

[06:48] is there a way to extract data from a scratched cd in ubuntu? [06:48] ah, interesting [06:49] whenever i try to copy the iso out of the cd it stops halfway :[ [06:49] sevol: put cd in. how good can it read the data? [06:49] con6: instead, ill you can use the most suitable player for ubuntu:) use vlc [06:49] lstarnes, If I run it with -no-remote it seems to work correctly. That's an interesting feature I've never seen before. [06:49] Damn... and there the friggin Ubuntu installation dies again. I tried Ubuntu 6.06 and that also does not work... argh! [06:49] sevol: like, the file manager, does it seem to work? [06:49] sevol: try the ddrescue program [06:49] lstarnes: gcc-4.4 [06:49] racecar56: read wat i said. i aint stupid [06:49] Ascavasaion: ahhhh!!!!!!! [06:49] if ddrescue does not work, nothing will [06:49] Ascavasaion: sick! [06:49] sevol:why are you doing that? [06:49] aptget: I have 4.2 [06:49] indus: doing wat? [06:49] Ascavasaion: that's so sick. i hope you can get that thing working. [06:50] sevol: copying iso from cd? [06:50] aptget: what exact error are you getting? [06:50] lstarnes: maybe ill down grade [06:50] indus: tq [06:50] aptget: you probably won't need to [06:50] indus: so i can mount it with a virtualdrive [06:50] con6: whats tq [06:50] topo what can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?? [06:50] sevol: mm [06:50] racecar56: I doubt it now... Mandrake 9.0, Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 8.04.1, and SuSE 9.0 did not work... sigh [06:51] lstarnes: stddef.h not found then errors related to missing definitions... [06:51] indus: if i try with the cd (cd is beaten up n scratched) it stops at like 400mb/600mb [06:51] indus: advising me to use vlc [06:51] sevol: virtual drive hmm, dont have the iso on disk i believe [06:51] when trying to copying it to desktop [06:51] Ascavasaion: a tiny debian install is probably the way to go. [06:51] aptget: pastebin the errors [06:51] sevol: yeah difficult if cd is scratched [06:51] racecar56: Yes, bt I have to download that... sigh [06:51] Ascavasaion: it's not TERRIBLY big. [06:51] I have to disable acpi each time as well. [06:51] racecar56: whats wrong with a freebsd bootonly iso or debian netinst [06:51] er [06:51] racecar56: Size about? [06:52] sevol: cant you re download the iso? [06:52] s/racecar56/ascavasaion/ [06:52] Ascavasaion: let me check [06:52] indus: yea i know, but in windows they have some software that can analyze the cd n extract the data, mgiht take a long time. [06:52] indus: yea i can of course. [06:52] Ascavasaion: 50mb [06:52] appxoimately [06:52] racecar56: Oh, thought you knew off hand. [06:52] Oh, thanks port [06:52] aye [06:52] I have a Debian Sarge ISO... would that work? [06:52] portn0k: as soon as the status bar says "cleaning up" at around 85% it says 'An installation step failed"; [06:52] nullp0inter: eek [06:52] angelus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/336348/ [06:53] Ascavasaion: yes [06:53] lstarnes: im reinstalling the packages, I can compile at the moment [06:53] Ascavasaion: i think [06:53] Ascavasaion: i advise you get the newest release, as (obviously) important security updates have been done [06:53] nullp0inter: yeah need the casper log to see what failed [06:53] Oooh la la... let me drag the DVDROM from the other computer into this one then. [06:53] Ascavasaion: also 40MB for the business card CD [06:53] nullp0inter: but i forget how to get it [06:53] Be right back guys. [06:53] Does anyone know how to set up iFuse in Ubuntu?

[06:56] racecar56: thank you. [06:56] Ascavasaion: yw [06:57] zerq: hmm.. dunno, mine worked outta the box.. but if you find sometghing you wanna follow up, you can use me as a baseline to compare settings if you need [06:57] Ascavasaion: hope that helps. [06:57] So far Sarge is loading... touch wood.... the others also all ran for a while. [06:57] I have an issue with my wireless networking. When connecting to my home acess point, I get a window asking for my wep key. after entering it, the network manger applet endlessly shows the swirling icon only to prompt me for my wep key again after a minute or two.. what can I do about this [06:57] Quan-Time: alright, thanks.. it worked out of the box for me except for the constant crackling sound which makes it incredibly annoying x_x [06:58] i can imagine.. you on a laptop ? [06:58] zerq: ^ [06:58] Quan-Time: yep, well, netbook.. hp mini 311 [06:58] hows your touchpad ? im trying to get synaptic working on mine.. to no avail.. it works, but i cant adjust its setings.. WAY annoying [06:59] how can I make more loop devices [06:59] Quan-Time: yeah, same problem here.. that's on my todo list right after fixing the sound hehe.. it's weird.. it works, tap to click and side scroll and everything, but tpconfig doesn't affect it.. [07:00] so i can't actually turn off tap to click or anything like that [07:01] alsamixer says Chip: Nvidia MCP7A HDMI [07:01] zerq: indeed.. im always acidently touching mine while typing and it clicks the mouse somewhere random.. WAY annoying [07:01] Is this channel can talk anything about Ubuntu? [07:02] Quan-Time: yeah, I feel your pain, constantly tapping mine by mistake so I have to hold my hands very awkwardly when I type.. :/ [07:02] djarrum: Have you tried to disable encryption on the access point and see if you can connect then? [07:02] yuxb: it's mostly for suport with ubuntu [07:03] zerq Quan-Time i know how you feel. [07:03] zerq Quan-Time it was a pain with my laptop. [07:03] zerq Quan-Time but it's hard drive is failing rapidly and fatally so i don't use it anymore. [07:03] zerq Quan-Time no more awkward typing :D:D:D:D [07:03] How to fuck the GFW in china? [07:04] ... [07:04] yuxb, please don't swear here. [07:04] :D [07:04] lulz [07:04] nice move. [07:05] what is the GFW? [07:05] i like watching rulebreakers getting kicked :D i summoned the ops on this spammer here a while back [07:05] Debian bombed... shit. [07:05] :[ [07:05] too bad. [07:05] racecar56: enough please - you know the topic of this channel [07:05] Ascavasaion, watch your language please. [07:05] what exactly happened? [07:06] racecar56: this is not debian discussion [07:06] elky: hehehehehe okay... Debian bombed... poefies! [07:06] ikonia: want me and Ascavasaion to move this discussion to ubuntu-offtopic? [07:06] Ascavasaion, you're in the wrong place to babytalk about debian, i'm afraid. [07:06] ikonia: Ubuntu is baby Debian anyways man. [07:06] Ascavasaion: this isn't debian support though as elky suggested [07:07] racecar56: Seems we have treaded on some toes hehe [07:07] Ascavasaion: . [07:07] Ascavasaion: yeah [07:07] this is crap..i burned this cd like 3 times already and something is always wrong with it..does ubuntu send out CDs by request? [07:08] nullp0inter: Yes, they do. [07:08] nullp0inter: it takes a few months until you get them [07:09] is there anything else i could install besides ubuntu..this is too much of a hassle [07:09] Any one can help me with some wireless configuration and injection? [07:10] oferon: injection ? [07:10] nullp0inter: anything else apart from ubuntu in what respect ? [07:10] nullp0inter: Careful... chaps here poefies in their pants when you mention anything but Ubuntu here hehe [07:10] ok so I first installed Ubuntu 9.10 32bit on my computer..updated with the Package Manger GUI, and then tried to use Ubuntu's built-in VNC server (vino IIRC). When I connected from a VNC viewer (tried ultravnc and tightvnc viewer) on Windows, I could see the desktop, and when I moved my mouse, it would move the mouse on the server, but nothing on the screen would change. I could click on the icon for Firefox and watch the monitor o [07:10] n the Ubuntu box open Firefox, but nothing would change on the viewer. I have since reinstalled Ubuntu, and VNC worked perfectly fine until I did all the updates, now it is broken just like before. Any suggestions? [07:10] ikonia: simple linux [07:10] ikonia: nothing fancy [07:11] nullp0inter: check out distrowatch.con and ##linux [07:11] I currently use ubuntu 9.04 but will install 9.10 on a new disk. Is there an easy way to migrate things such as e-mail (evolution), e-mail accounts, pidgin contacts, installed applications etc? [07:11] sigh [07:11] Soaringswine: Do you use Compiz on the Ubuntu machine? [07:11] ikonia: Yeah, injection with airepaly.. my computer freezes everytime I start trying to inject.. I think it got something to do with my drivers [07:11] DerKlempner, no, its a completely clean install. literally have done nothing aside from the updates. [07:11] There are multiple mostly separate installations of ubuntu karmic on my machine, I'd like some help with which of the submount file systems may be shared among them without trouble. I have a shared /var, and it appears to be causing conflicts. /var/lock /var/run are still in a ramfs special area afaik. [07:11] nullp0inter: or you could try to install ubuntu from a usb memory [07:12] or maybe not ramfs, I forget the details. [07:12] oferon: ahhh it's a cracking tool [07:12] virtuald: my computer only allows me to choose a floppy,or a cd rom to boot from [07:12] virtuald: its an older computer [07:12] ok [07:13] i didnt want to throw it out, and thought i could find some use for it if i installed ubuntu on it === alip_mycert is now known as alip- [07:13] nullp0inter: try this, boot from the ubuntu CD and then tell ubuntu on the main menu boot from first hard disk [07:13] racecar56: then what [07:13] ikonia: I don't need help with cracking.. I just need help with setting my drivers propertly.. I download compat-wireless for Ubuntu, but it still freezes.. [07:14] nullp0inter: nothing. your HDD is being booted from. [07:14] oferon: what wirless card is it ? [07:14] racecar56: thats not really an install thought [07:14] nullp0inter: if it don't work then just be sure the HDD is plugged in [07:14] Soaringswine: Check the install and disable all desktop effects. [07:14] i might just throw this thing out..no point in wasting time with it [07:14] thanks for th ehelp everyone [07:15] ikonia: Atheros AR5B91 [07:15] Soaringswine: Desktop visual effects, that is. [07:15] nullp0inter: if it's IDE, be sure you push those data cables in firmly. sometimes they look like they're plugged in, but they aren't really [07:15] DerKlempner, ok..I just have no clue what could have gotten updated that changed this [07:15] nullp0inter: don't throw it out. [07:15] nullp0inter: seriously. [07:15] Hi all [07:15] need help [07:15] could not login to wiki.ubuntu.com [07:16] How do i remove entier from the grub boot list? [07:16] Soaringswine: I think a default install might have the mid-level visual effects enabled. You need to completely disable them so vino plays nice. [07:16] entries* [07:16] !ask | shrini [07:16] shrini: 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. :-) [07:16] oferon: reading some of the notes, it does appear that the atheros card uses a propritary kernel modules that indeed does have limitations [07:16] getting error UnknownTimeZoneError [07:16] !grub [07:16] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:16] hi [07:16] innomen: uninstalling the kernels with the package manager should remove them from the grub list [07:16] Hi [07:16] Beezie: thanks [07:16] isis this legal? http://ubuntusatanic.org [07:16] Beezie: getting UnknownTimeZoneError on login wiki [07:16] racecar56: you around ? === jongberg1 is now known as jongbergs [07:17] racecar56: i think im just annoyed more than anything. ill have to burn another cd and/or open it up tomorrow [07:17] Billiard, the entry for windows x is also multiplying [07:17] http://ubuntusatanic.org have those people the right to use ubuntu in their distro name? [07:17] DerKlempner, ok, but vino worked perfectly fine before I installed all the updates ubuntu suggested [07:17] oferon: certainly in earlier kernels it's got quite poor support and I don't see any notes to suggest it's got better later, [07:17] racecar56: you around ? [07:17] Timewarper: no [07:17] Soaringswine: From what version? [07:17] ph33r: i crashed :[ [07:17] DerKlempner, holy cow, it works now..who woulda thunk [07:17] innomen: thats odd, you could try grub-mkconfig [07:17] Billiard, where is this list kept? [07:17] ikonia: who will punish them? [07:18] ikonia: other people had same problem with their ath cards and solved it... I just think I'm using the wrong drivers for this card.. [07:18] racecar56: ewww, you know how to get sounds when playing 3gp files with samr audio ? [07:18] I cant get multiple monitors to be detected since installing compiz. [07:18] Soaringswine: It's been "broken" like that since 9.04 came out. [07:18] oferon: there appears to be multiple options available, including ndiswrapper, madwifi etc [07:18] Billiard, where is the list stored? [07:18] ph33r: i don't know [07:18] DerKlempner, i did a fresh install of 9.10, tried out vino, it worked fine. did the updates that the update manager had (which i assume is the same as an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade), and then it stopped working properly. [07:18] ph33r: maybe i have [07:18] innomen: for old grub its in /boot/grub [07:18] DerKlempner, oh ok [07:18] racecar56: could you possibly check it ? [07:19] Billiard, that folder contains many files [07:19] ikonia: I made a report with all info relevant to wireless conf... mind if I PM it to you? [07:19] ph33r: i don't know. i don't have any amr files to really try. [07:19] Soaringswine, I use x11vnc instead. Works fine even with full Compiz visual effects. [07:19] racecar56: hrmm [07:19] innomen: menu.lst but it should be auto generated by other things [07:19] ph33r: there are a few laying around but i can't get access to them at the moment, really [07:19] frucking shut down this sh1t http://ubuntusatanic.org [07:19] racecar56: they are actualy 3gp files but with amr audio.. ok just let me know if you get hold of them [07:19] oferon: you're welcoe to, although I don't really deal with closed source wifi drivers, more so when the function that's failing is the ability to crack [07:20] Timewarper: control your language [07:20] how can I move my lvm root partition to an non lvm partition I already have it partition, need to copy and setup grub, but I don't know how? [07:20] ikonia: not possible [07:20] DerKlempner, ha i had a completely different problem when i tried to use other vnc servers..my keymap somehow was messed up. i'm just gonna stick with vino though. thanks alot! [07:20] Timewarper: it will be delt with - stop advertising it now [07:20] Billiard, there is no menu.lst [07:20] Where is menu.lst? I cant find it. [07:20] ph33r: k. what do you want me to do with 'em, again? play 'em? [07:20] innomen: you are using grub2 then probably [07:20] racecar56: yeah and see if you can hear the sound ? [07:20] ph33r: like figure out what do i need to play amrs? [07:20] Soaringswine, no worries. Good luck. [07:20] racecar56: aye aye captain [07:21] George_E: /boot/grub for old grub [07:21] Billiard, do you knwo where the grub 2 menu list is kept? [07:21] ph33r: i'm on a pretty fresh installation, so i think this is a good testing comp [07:21] ikonia: I'm only using it to test my own AP.. once I have my own there is no reason for me to try cracking others [07:21] innomen: its setup differently, there is no menu.lst afaik [07:21] It isnt there.

[07:47] Fizix, no, I do not know... [07:47] does 'any' imply that you've tried multiple? [07:49] ShazbotMcNasty, correct. [07:49] I was Forum huntin just now, apparently it's a problem with Cheese itself as it doesn't use more RAM that whatever the system idle process is [07:49] Some people apparently write little scripts just to keep the CPU busy and RAM active to run Cheese, [07:50] I'm not even sure what 'cheese' is.

[08:05] ok [08:05] High Fructose Files [08:06] a2f, well I am going to assume...since I never run aptitude, that those are the dependecies you asked for [08:06] Crash2108: if you can't even see the files on the drive that is problematic [08:06] I don't have permissions.

A long time ago I did transfer files off a mac with linux... you need to install [08:16] adminewb: okay, thanks for letting me know. that means i'll probably be on ext3 until april ;) [08:17] mneptok: my desired result is to make a report about those programs - but actually I don't know where those programs work. [08:17] the proper viewer for that HFS filesystem... I think I backed the mac files up with a DD iso image [08:17] hi.. can someone point me to how to setup bugzilla on an ubuntu server? [08:17] hi [08:17] gl [08:17] * centHOGG nighty nite [08:17] Well, sure it matters when you're trying to mount it.

[08:40] coder__: Yes [08:40] debian or knoppix will be find [08:40] thanks [08:43] eremite: unmount your Windows partition in gparted then resize it. There should be an option available to unmount.

[10:03] Hi there, i have noticed some odd networking behavior, when creating a webserver it takes a long time, like minutes, for the command to actually complete. i also made an ftp server (ProFTPd) and launching the server also has this massive delay. additionally, people connecting to the FTP connect immediately but then are subject to the same massive delay as seen here: http://pastebin.com/d4dd85d70 [10:03] i thought it might be dns issues but i am doing everything off LAN (server and clients are 10.1.1.*) and no dns being used. [10:03] hi there [10:04] i also disabled DHCP on the server and forced a static ip. no luck. can't think of anything else that would introduce this lag period.

[10:21] ActionParsnip: Not gonna use it, so not installing and the / doesn't matter ;) [10:21] aye :D [10:21] Okay i really dont understand this, proftpd is taking freaking ages to load, i have done UseReverseDNS off and IdentLookups off but still it is the same speed to load, same with opening my webserver. Inbound connections arent affected, only opening the server socket??

[10:25] seravitae, hmm..do you experimented with another http server? [10:25] Hi. I have a customer that has 287 GB of data that's needs to be backuped. The change of this data is probably around 100MB per day. The customer wants to be able to restore files 2 weeks back in time. How do I set this up so it requires so little space as possible? [10:25] I have heard about merging full and differental backups. Probably something I need to use. [10:25] yes, apache, didnt seem to suffer the same fate - however, apache launches child processes so it may be harder to actually 'see' whtas going on timewise. [10:26] the fact that proftpd does it *and* python http server suggests to me that apache was doing it too, just in another thread. [10:26] hi [10:26] hi [10:27] does any1 know what the "blks" command is used for? [10:27] blinkiz: many backups programs can do full and incremental backups [10:27] is it used to create a disk image or create file containing unallocated disk blocks?

[10:28] erUSUL, Oh, sorry. Am in the wrong channel. Sorry man! [10:28] :P [10:29] blinkiz: that you have many options to choose from and that you have to be more specific if you want to narrow down the options [10:29] bbortz_: boot to live cd, chroot to the installed system and run: sudo apt-get -f install [10:29] seravitae, ok then..should be phyton http server problem?? [10:29] blinkiz: np [10:29] erUSUL, Yeah, sorry about that. I was supposed to post this in the #bacula channel. So just ignore :) [10:29] ActionParsnip: damn...alright, thanks [10:30] seravitae, you can try with another version [10:30] bbortz_: or maybe in root recovery console [10:31] bbortz_: less hastle [10:31] is there an Auto-replace in Xchat [10:32] is there an Auto-replace in Xchat [10:32] ActionParsnip, wow do you sleep?

[10:42] lightbricko: no; no chance of a official one. maybe there is a ppa with newer drivers. [10:43] ju_: ext2 is good on flash based storage as it reduces writes as the journal is quite heavily written to [10:43] flankk just recovered the grub now fedora is gone :( [10:43] ju_: yes [10:43] !ppa | lightbricko [10:43] lightbricko: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

[10:44] flankk, tried but it didnt created one [10:44] ju_: not immediately, you can create partitions and never format them. You must format the partition so they are usable [10:44] coder__: well you can just write it yourself [10:44] ju_: can you please type my name at the start of lines addressed to me [10:45] okie ActionParsnip [10:45] is there any way to show com.ubuntu.* in the policykit so that i can add my local account to change values so that my account doesnt require authentication ? [10:45] ju_: you can use tab to autocomplete nicks ;) [10:45] hi [10:45] flankk what should i look at to get an idea of creating menu.lst?

[10:46] lightbricko: there are several ppas but I'll hesitate to use any of them for installing anything from there on a production machine. But if you are still interested, one such ppa is the NVIDIA VDPAU ppa.

In 9.04 i could choose HW:5,1 as sound card. When i plug it in on 9.10 now, it only shows up 5,0. On 5,1 is S/PDIF. How can i tell the new sound configuration tool to also show subdevices such as 5,1? [10:47] coder__: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Configuration [10:47] ju_: no, if you want to shrink after making the partition, why not just make the partition smaller.

[11:52] .close [11:52] blackman: The point is, I just want a player (mp3blaster) instead of having to use a daemon with a frontend on X. It completely defeats the purpose of my original logic.

[11:53] hi [11:53] blackman: That brings us back to problem #1 then, the audio doesn't transfer over to X when I switch back. [11:53] Kud: could just use xforwarding with a gui app, the sound will play on the remote system but the gui will show on the client system [11:54] Kud: sigh. it _does_ [11:54] epinky: so now what? [11:54] xover: do your scripts exit with 0 ? [11:54] Kud: mpd can start playing music from _boot_ and the music continues on to x, completely unnaffected [11:55] every-time i type something for a few milliseconds my touchpad freezes... any ideas 9.10 [11:55] yes [11:55] xover: /home/matt/bin/f11; echo $?

We can read lowercase too. [13:17] !anyone | tadej [13:18] tadej: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:18] so... [13:18] i can't setup new device... [13:18] Xeli: you need to set the IP on the other system as you have o dhcp server [13:18] oo == no [13:18] you get the idea [13:19] tadej: use the bluetooth icon in the system tray [13:19] ActionParsnip: I don' t have a dhcp, but which static ip should i use? 192.168.2.1 won' t work nor 2.2 .. [13:19] and ,thx for the halp.my system is ready for a show-off :) [13:19] Hello, I can't get sauerbraten to play well. The screen freezes all the time while I'm playing.

It seems like it's a nvidia problem here's the output from dmesg http://pastebin.org/61780 . Any help would be gr8 [13:19] how can I access my installed application? I cant c them anywhere [13:19] do u know the name of the application? [13:20] is this correct when i want to remove my 2.6.31-16 kernel? linux-generic-pae will be removed with configuration [13:20] researcher1: How did you install the program, and what program is it? [13:20] yes I have a few installed last week only [13:20] ActionParsnip: I click "setup new device" , than "next" ... and now I'm supposed to see the device... [13:20] but the field is empty... [13:20] try typing in the terminal the first 2-3 letters of the program than press tab twice...it should appear there [13:20] Xeli: you need to use an address in the same subnet so if you use 192.168.2.1 for the first system you will need the address of the other system to be 192.168.2.2 or somesuch, don't set the gateway as 192.168.2.0 as that is the network address and makes no sense at all [13:20] ok [13:20] tadej: yes you need the bluetooth enabled on the device to be found and set it as discoverable [13:21] Dr_Willis, how do i find the right packages, like, i just marked every linux header thing with 2.6.31-16 in it for complete removal... [13:21] got it [13:21] but how to run these programs now? [13:21] ActionParsnip: allredy done.. [13:21] ActionParsnip: Oh i see, so what would be a sensable gateway? [13:22] thijs_: You can have outdated kernels and related uninstalled to free up disk space by issuing sudo aptitude --purge remove linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.31-14-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic [13:22] thijs_: then type dpkg --get-selections > /home/yourusername/dpkg-get-selections-master.txt, open the file, find anything more to do with "linux" not removed with the earlier aptitude command, make a list of them use aptitude to purge them all. But BECAREFUL, do NOT remove/purge anythi package pertaining to your current running kernel. If you aren't sure what kernel version you are running at the moment, do type e.g. uname -rsa. [13:22] Xeli: anything which falls in the netmask as a host so 192.168.2.200 will work fine, just do NOT use 0 and do NOT use 255, you can use any number in between [13:22] Xeli: and don't use an IP you assign to a PC [13:22] Dr_Willis: i ran this "chmod 755 ./" and it appeared to work but then when i try to run "./1.sh" i still get the "-sh: ./1.sh: not found" [13:22] ActionParsnip, what if I want to upload a tar.gz for others to DL? [13:22] thijs_: change the version number accordingly of course [13:23] Rajasun, yeah, thanks. Will that also modify my grub? or do i have to update that or something ? [13:23] >_> is anyone else having trouble signing into amazon? [13:23] djarrum: theres a command for it and it escapes me, same deal as pastebinit as you want [13:23] thijs_: yes automagically so [13:24] ActionParsnip: i put this file "1.sh" in this dir " root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root" and when i start the terminal on my palm pre it starts me in the "root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root#" so i try to run this command "./1.sh" and i get this back"-sh: ./1.sh: not found" ??? [13:25] ActionParsnip: Do you have anymore clues? :) [13:25] How do I remove Windows XP from grub (not the actual system, just the choise in grub)? [13:25] ActionParsnip: Ah i see, thanks it still does not work, but atleast i'm abit closer to the solution now, thanks alot! :) [13:25] djarrum: i think its called woof [13:26] tadej: thats all there is to it [13:26] tadej: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/command-line-tricks-smart-geeks [13:28] I'm surprised this is so hard....

[14:09] meowbuntu: irc.ubuntu.com is either a server or just a name for one of the freenode servers [14:09] knxville: sure, then modify as you need [14:09] meowbuntu: its a cname for chat.freenode.net [14:10] Charles-xubuntu-, switch to a virtual terminal ctl+alt+f2, log in, run top [14:10] meowbuntu: check the messages as it connects... [14:10] ill try that [14:10] Charles-xubuntu-, I've suggested that twice :) [14:10] ActionParsnip: Do I have to type in username and password on my xbox? [14:10] nothing === root is now known as Guest86576 === _Sharker is now known as Sharker [14:10] im gonna do a hard shutdown and then restore [14:10] Charles-xubuntu-, no! [14:11] ActionParsnip: what a sleep commend??? [14:11] Charles-xubuntu-, you can still shutdown safely [14:11] none of my keys work [14:11] xxbones21xx_: makes a script chill for however many seconds you say [14:11] how? [14:11] command* [14:11] Charles-xubuntu-, just a sec === Sharker is now known as Guest8907 [14:11] ok [14:11] Charles-xubuntu-, hold alt and sysreq [14:11] knxville: you will to get access to the share, you set it when you run: sudo smbpasswd -a knoxville or whatever username you used [14:11] sysreq? [14:11] Sacho: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [14:11] Charles-xubuntu-, and type R E I S U B [14:11] knxville: obviously change all the andys to your user name [14:12] what is sysreq? [14:12] Charles-xubuntu-, all while holding alt and sysreq [14:12] Charles-xubuntu-, a key on your keyboard === A is now known as A_Kris [14:12] oh i see it [14:12] Charles-xubuntu-, it should be around scroll lock [14:12] ActionParsnip: Right'o.. I just tried that, and it said that I could not retrieve and IP for the xbox.. :S [14:12] Charles-xubuntu-, wait a couple seconds before each key press [14:13] ActionParsnip: the "./debian.sh" mounts a img to a dir, once its mounted then the next script runs a script within the the folder that the img extracts too, just thought i would make you aware of this [14:13] knxville: you dont need that. I thought you were sharing files on your ubuntu system TO the xbox? [14:13] is that why the script i created stops at that command and then doesn't do anything??? [14:13] aperson: I'm watching this with interest, gotten hung up there myself... when typing out that "R E I S U B" are caps important, and is this affected by the keymap in x config, or is it the raw hardware layout? [14:14] !sysreq | Snausages [14:14] hmm [14:14] xxbones21xx_: you can have a script to mount as you wish, you will need to run it with sudo though as users arent allowed to mount [14:14] ActionParsnip: That's what I'm trying to, now I get connection problems.. weird, I havn't done anything with the router or the xbox configuration, except put an username and password, when trying to connect to a samba server. [14:14] in synaptic there is wine and wine1.2 what do i need [14:14] the screen is black now [14:14] with an underscore [14:14] knxville: then why are you wanting the IP of the xbox from the samba server? It makes no sense [14:14] but i still cant do anything [14:14] knxville: the xbox needs the IP of the ubuntu box [14:15] Charles-xubuntu-, did you hit each key with about a two second delay? [14:15] knxville: just like ubuntu.comm is a web server but it doesnt know the IP of the millions whom connect to it [14:15] Snausages, I'm not sure entirely [14:15] knxville: same thing [14:15] let me try again [14:15] what do i have to type? [14:15] Snausages, the caps doesn't matter [14:15] REISUB [14:15] ActionParsnip: I'm not wanting any ip adress, the xbox is.. it complains about DHCP... so it wont listen on the local network somehow.. [14:15] anyone [14:15] ActionParsnip: this isn't on linux on a pc, this is the linux webos on the palm pre i dont think the user issue exists here. [14:16] meowbuntu, either [14:16] mefiX [14:16] !remix [14:16] meowbuntu use wine [14:16] ok [14:16] !ubuntu-remiux [14:16] aperson: other question... your nick is familiar, any chance you're the aperson from undernet? === Guest8907 is now known as Sharker [14:16] knxville: then you need to resolve your xbox issue which is offtopic here [14:16] not 1.2 [14:16] leme try [14:16] When I run the desktop cube, I cannot click on another desktop to come there, and nothing happends when I press the key combox for prev and next [14:16] Snausages, never been there :) tell them to get off my nick! [14:16] anyone that knows why? [14:16] xxbones21xx_: bash will still be bash === Sharker is now known as Guest22954 === Guest22954 is now known as Sharker [14:16] anli_: i'd ask in #compiz [14:17] Kaboontu, why not 1.2? I use it [14:17] ActionParsnip: Yeah, well im off to reboot my router, and see if that works.. [14:17] Kaboontu, y not wine1.2 [14:17] nothing [14:17] aperson: heh, haven't seen her in years, wondered if she'd hopped nets. Thanks for the tips. [14:17] * sirald66 since LaunchPad Bugs is down, and my 9.04 system just eventually freezes from the update - should i upgrade to 9.10? will i lose all my application installs?

I've *never* had a system that wouldn't reboot off of that [14:18] ActionParsnip: this is what is in the debian.sh script "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336565/plain/" and i have never had to use the sudo command...??? [14:18] meowbuntu: wine package is the stable version. wine1.2 is the more recent, development version, which might have more bug fixed, but might be more unstable. [14:18] wine works for a number of things, but not all/most [14:18] Kaboontu, well if its in synaptic then its tested and true [14:18] meowbuntu, one would think [14:19] meowbuntu maybe but i dont recomend you unless youre developer or smth :) [14:19] my power light is staying on but the screen is staying black [14:19] xxbones21xx_: are you logged on as root?

[14:20] i believe so this is the dir that shows up on the terminal program on the palm pre "root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root#" [14:20] Charles-xubuntu-, tryed pressing keys or mousbutins [14:20] now the black screen is back but the underscore is flashing [14:21] ok its restarting [14:21] apple [14:21] sweet [14:21] one more time what were the keys i typed? [14:21] Charles-xubuntu-, REISUB [14:21] Charles-xubuntu-, also tried checking the cables connected properly [14:21] yes [14:21] ActionParsnip: i believe so this is the dir that shows up on the terminal program on the palm pre "root@palm-webos-device:/var/home/root#" [14:21] its working now [14:21] THANK YOU =D [14:22] Charles-xubuntu-, sounds right to me [14:22] xxbones21xx_: thats why you dont needs sudo then [14:23] boomernang, y not i want to expand my knowledge. i will install mint 8 on another partition later. [14:23] I thought it was RSEIUB [14:23] well thats ive used in the past. [14:23] meowbuntu, why not is a great approach :) i wonder what why not will come after ubuntu :D? [14:23] ActionParsnip: thats what i figured but idont know why its hangin after the mounting scripts runs, it chroot me into the dir but it doesnt execute the gameboy.sh script which starts the emu === Snausages is now known as Pupperoni [14:24] anyone know wherre exaile music player stores its playlists [14:24] is there any way to show com.ubuntu.* in the policykit so that i can add my local account to change values so that my account doesnt require authentication ?

[14:25] duffydack, s writes data to the disk, you want to do that after killing processes [14:25] how do i check if the installed ubuntu version is 32 bit or 64 bit? [14:25] aperson, ah ok [14:25] boomernang, debain i guess to expand more [14:25] ActionParsnip: this is what script i am running and what each script that is being executed has in it..... [14:25] duffydack, hitting just b would work too... but that doesn't make it the right order :) [14:26] lightbricko, uname -a would tell you === ThijsdeZoete is now known as thijs__ [14:27] ActionParsnip: None worked, neither setting xbox ip settings to automated, or restarting the router, though I can connect to the lan, if I remove the "passwd" "user" and "application" forms, but if I use them, trying to connect to my samba file server on this laptop, it cannot get an IP address of the router. [14:28] I tried to set the taskbar in ubuntu to the right edge of the screen, however, when I open applications, they do not come up in that taskbar like I think they should [14:28] If I start around 50 apps, they will not take up the whole screen height, for instance [14:28] hey all [14:28] ned a ahelp [14:28] i am using uubuntu 9.10 [14:28] aperson: That doesn't tell that, it only gives me this info: "2.6.31-16-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 3 22:00:22 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux" [14:28] have look this image [14:28] http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6978/logoutw.jpg [14:28] missed th logout [14:29] please help me [14:29] lightbricko, looks like 32 bit to me [14:29] when i try to connect to a windows remote desktop RDP do i need the IP of the computer i am trying to connect to?

That's why I posted it due to its absurdity. [14:29] knoxville_: then try adding a static resolve in the hosts file [14:29] I don't want to bother, but if you know of a way of fixing the network connection manager, please tell me. [14:29] Hm... this is driving me crazy. I use netbook remix. And when trying in nautilus to go to smb://Soncek/D Nautilus closes... even If I type in just smb:// it would close. Do I need any specail network packages??? [14:29] lightbricko, it'd say x86_64 instead of i686 [14:29] aperson: I see. [14:30] i setup color correction in nvidia-settings, however, it is not being applied unless i start nvidia-settings [14:30] So far I've only installed samba and smbclient. and with smbclient I can access Windows shares :S [14:30] bharath: thats handled by one of the gnome-panel applets you can add/remove - i dont know what one. try adding them all till you see what one puts it back [14:30] can please someone help me fix the nautilus [14:30] should i report this somewhere? [14:30] ward-, you could file a bug report [14:30] ward-, nvm, proprietary driver [14:30] bharath: it appears to behandled by the 'indicator-applet-session' [14:30] bharath: Right click on your panel > Add to Panel : Indicator Applet Session [14:31] Anyone ever try to install ubuntu on a Zotac motherboard with a Celeron dual core?

[14:31] luist: ifconfig [14:32] Things would be more helpful if everone weren't just trying to have bots talk for them. [14:32] I have IBM T42p laptop, and I can't get it's wireless to work. It is Intel 2200 BG wireless that uses ipw2200 module. Can someone help me with that please? [14:32] ward-: ad I mentiones.. when I try to access windows shares like typing in smb:// nautilus would just close... [14:32] ward-: as I mentioned [14:32] how can i see the lout and lockscreen options not there [14:32] Crash2108, try giving support, they're immensely helpful, especially when you have to answer the same things repeatedly :) [14:32] The error that I get in dmesg | grep ipw, is: "Error loading firmware. Reseting." [14:33] aperson, mostly curious at this point. Fedora worked great and Ubuntu didn't. Thought they were mostly the same. [14:33] V3ronika: sorry i just came in i missed your explanation [14:33] bharath: Right click on your panel > Add to Panel : Indicator Applet Session. Does that not work? [14:33] ActionParsnip: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336571/plain/" let me know if you cant understand it, after the # its that that script has in it and some added txt that i put their to help explain [14:33] ward-: that's basically it.. u didn't missed much [14:33] Crash2108, two entirely different distros [14:33] ward-: miss [14:33] Fedora and ubuntu are not very closley related. [14:33] bastidrazor: is something like xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ? [14:33] its not working [14:34] Ya got the 'rpm' faimly :) then the deb faimly.. then ya got the faimly members you never talk about...

[14:34] *browser [14:34] Crash2108: time to dig deeper into both. :) [14:34] Crash2108, that's because they're both using gnome [14:34] V3ronika: yeah afaik it can handle smb aswell [14:34] ward-: hm ok [14:34] i dont use smb myself so im not 100% sure just try [14:34] Crash2108, gnome is going to feel like gnome anywhere you put it [14:35] Most disrtos are proberly 90% the same. but its the 10% that causes so much trouble. :) [14:35] thanks it works [14:35] but this not real oringinal panel [14:35] this is okay === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:35] Well, besides the whole .deb/.rpm thing, too. [14:35] :) [14:35] !resetpanel [14:35] ward-: yeah firefox does crash too often for my liking [14:35] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:35] Other than that it's just color scheme [14:36] ActionParsnip: i didnt say anything about crashing lol [14:36] I have a question about recursive chmod, I am installing coppermine to a webserver and they want me to grant 777 to a folder and all its contents so... that would be done by "sudo chmod 777 -R /foo/bar/the_folder"? [14:36] ward-: it does not crash :S the problem is that I don't see any error mesages wehen nautilus closes /crashes [14:36] i want to cut and merge some audio files which app is prefered( user friendly) [14:36] V3ronika: so start it from a terminal [14:36] dustan, yes [14:36] om26er: Audacity [14:36] dustan: yes [14:36] does luckyBackup creates incremental backups by default or they are full? [14:36] * om26er don't like audacity [14:36] great, thanks [14:36] What kind of app wants you do chmod 777 stuff? egads. [14:37] * Laurenceb_ fixed his sound [14:37] needed to reboot [14:37] coppermine photo gallery [14:37] om26er: good luck. Sound editing on linux is an utter joke. If its something you do often, look into "Ubuntu Studio" distro. [14:37] dustan: still dosent sound like a good idea. [14:37] hi [14:37] ActionParsnip, I think I tried that, and that it's not working... I tried ndiswrapper, and wi-fi works for few seconds to 1 minute, and then I get the total lock up (kernel panic) :) [14:37] Laurenceb_, had you tried sudo service alsa-utils restart and sudo service pulseaudio restart ? [14:37] ward-: I did... the moment I start it it wen't to the next line.. so even starting nautilus from terminal didn't give me any output [14:38] aperson: the sound panel froze up and other bad stuff happed [14:38] I hadnt used the machine for a while [14:38] napnap: hi [14:38] V3ronika: sorry no idea then, but google for it, a lot of people seem to have the problem [14:38] what's the default username in the ubuntu 9.04 live-cd ?? When I boot under low graphics with F4, GDM tell me about a username / password :-s [14:38] napnap, ubuntu [14:38] there was a load of updates and I was only hibernating, I think tho odd combination of updates screwed it [14:39] I think I am going to 755 is and if it works ill leave it lol [14:39] napnap: ubuntu [14:39] it was warning me a restart was required [14:39] aperson: I tried, but the passwd ? [14:39] napnap, ubuntu always uses that [14:39] napnap, there shouldn't be one [14:39] seems that no ubuntu user has got the idea of putting the taskbar at the right of the screen, because the taskbar entries acts so strange when doing that [14:39] dustan: thers no need to 777 'files' now directories - perhaps 7xx [14:39] And there is no easy way to resize the taskbar [14:39] anli_, perhaps screenshot what you mean? [14:40] Is it easy to create one? [14:40] Dr_Willis: what the command for a sleep line [14:40] aperson: if I try ubuntu=>no password or ubuntu=>ubuntu, it doesn't work [14:40] anli_, print-screen === greyz is now known as BaByGIRL-_-HOT [14:40] what you suggested earlier? [14:40] ah, that easy [14:40] anli_: lol erm... thats like VERY easy [14:40] anli_, I'd suggest imgur.com for image uploads [14:40] xxbones21xx_: sleep line? i never mentioned sleep.. the command 'sleep 5' makes the shell wait 5 sec. I think [14:40] anli_: rightclivk it, click properties, change size....... [14:40] aha [14:41] ward-: a multi step action, which is not sufficient [14:41] Dr_Willis: it's on a dedicated box so... [14:41] thats it just "sleep 5" no extra ":" or "/" or anything ? [14:41] ward-: but maybe that window can be made resizable? [14:41] anli_: window? [14:41] what's the problem... [14:41] the taskbar "window" [14:41] anli_: you want it less wide? [14:41] yes, by dragging [14:42] not by specifying the number of pixels [14:42] anyone compiled a module (driver) on the system its supose to run on? [14:42] dustan: so that justifies bad security practice. :P [14:42] Dr_Willis: thats it just "sleep 5" no extra ":" or "/" or anything ? [14:42] anli_: i dont understand what you mean but you can also use a dock [14:42] xxbones21xx_: thats it, just sleep 5 [14:42] xxbones21xx_: try it and see [14:42] anli_: (like OSX) [14:42] xxbones21xx_: why would you need a : or / ? [14:42] ward-: ah, I dont like that one [14:43] ward-: The taskbar is ok, I like to have it in the right edge [14:43] Dr_Willis: Don't know was just asking... [14:43] anli_: check out 'windowmaker' it has a left side 'warf' [14:43] anli_: the right side of your screen or? [14:43] ward-: yes [14:43] anyone knows well on html-php-mysql? [14:43] darlykaiser, I'd as a web dev channel [14:43] anli_: again: rightclick -> properties [14:43] darlykaiser, this is ubuntu support [14:43] anli_: then orientation [14:43] #ubuntuuser.de [14:44] is there a trick to getting hibernate to work on dell laptops? i have an XPS m1530 and when i try to hibernate it i get a bunch of USB errors and it comes back to the unlock screen [14:44] the gnome panel looks nasty when in the vertical position. :) you can alt-click/drag it to the side. [14:44] ward-: I have made it appear to the right, but when you see the screenshot, you will understand what I mean [14:44] aperson where is web channel ... I did not see any channel [14:44] anli_: sorry man i must have missed the screenshot lol [14:45] darlykaiser, I'd try asking in #html, I'm sure they could point you somewhere [14:45] thinking of buying an atom-powered desktop PC with no CD/DVD hardware. Can I rely on being able to install ubuntu from a USB stick? [14:45] ward-: http://imgur.com/CE7Y2 [14:45] not-me-guv, of course! :) [14:45] not-me-guv: should be able to. [14:45] aperson: have you another idea ? Because ubuntu/ubuntu or ubuntu/nothing doesn't work... On the web I see that ubuntu automatically connect an user, but I wait without success :-( [14:45] anli_: aaaaaaaah lol [14:45] Bjornalf: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingUbuntuOnADellXPSM1530 [14:45] not-me-guv: thats how i do all my installs these days [14:45] As you can see, the menu at the right will not populate correctly [14:46] or joseamunoz ? [14:46] anli_: i allways drag it like someone said a little earlyer, i cannot find it [14:46] just wondering if I have to check with the vendor whether the hardware will boot from USB, or any such thing ... [14:46] napnap, I think there is something wrong with your image [14:46] not-me-guv: id hope that any new machines would all have that feature these days [14:46] anli_: but someone said to use alt-drag (and that works) [14:46] ok, thanks [14:46] Bjornalf: with laptops it ALWAYS ALWAYS pays to websearch the model in conjunction with ubuntu, see what comes up. Users are REALLY good at putiing guides up on how they made their stuff work nice as well as what they coulnt get working [14:46] i dont remember who it was and i cannot find it [14:46] not-me-guv, I haven't used a cd to install an operating system in quite some time :0 [14:47] 'cos I'm sure the answer from a vendor's customer-facing support stuff is "huh?" [14:47] ward-: problem with alt-click-drag is you have to click in JUST the right places on the panel. :) and vertical panels look ugly === factorx__ is now known as Tommy_DO [14:47] ward-: alt dragging seems to be no option... [14:47] thanks for reassurance :) [14:47] Does anyone know how to edit the ubuntu-netbookremix very first menu? [14:47] Dr_Willis: nope it looks corect [14:48] anli_: the alt key on your keyboard + drag (and the right position like Dr_Willis said [14:48] V3ronika, right click on it and hit 'edit menu' [14:48] ward-: its nasty looking here in my very full panel. if i enlarge it. some icons resize/some dont. :) must be svg icons [14:48] i've noticed a . after some listing with ls -l in the latest version of ubuntu [14:48] eg [14:48] wow, this looks really strange, http://imgur.com/rru4v [14:48] firefox wants flashplayer plugin. i thought by default these days it should not say that [14:48] drwxr-xr-x. 10 nathan dialout 4096 2009-11-24 15:58 include [14:48] -rw-r--r--. 1 nathan dialout 7550285 2009-06-19 12:29 initrd.img-nfs [14:48] -rw-r--r--. 1 nathan dialout 30 2009-07-07 14:32 ips [14:48] V3ronika: it follows the main menu items [14:48] anybody know anything about that? [14:48] meowbuntu, flashplugin isn't free software [14:48] aperson: I use it since few month, I've installed ubuntu many times with this CD, normal boot it's ok, install it's ok, so just the login in low graphical mode doesn't work...I can not believe that the iso is bad [14:48] aperson: ActionParsnip can't really see any option while I right click on it nothing happenes [14:49] Hi. What would be the best way to backup the databases of a remote server to my homeserver and keep the backup up-to-date every night (efficiently, because I have a data limit)? [14:49] V3ronika: run: alacarte [14:49] meowbuntu, I've had it happen before :) [14:49] aperson, i had no problems in mint 7 with it what up [14:49] !backup | ShishKabab [14:49] ShishKabab: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [14:49] travalas: see if your ls command is set to some alias. [14:49] meowbuntu, mint distributes lots of non-free stuff [14:49] aperson, any fixes [14:49] alias ls [14:49] alias ls='ls --color=auto' [14:50] meowbuntu, install flashplugin-nonfree [14:50] just ls --color [14:50] anli_: well it works here o.... [14:50] ActionParsnip: aha... but that's only for programs :S I need to add a few paths.. I can only see Home, Videos... [14:50] um aperson they use the same ubuntu repos [14:50] anli_: i just tried it and it works perfectly [14:50] nop [14:50] i'm trying to figure out what the . means [14:50] ward-: does it full up the whole height with windows? [14:50] meowbuntu, yeah, any ubuntu derivative can use them [14:50] meowbuntu, that point is moot [14:50] meowbuntu: mint 7 could be consiodered to be skirting some laws/licenseing limitions by including flash also.. legal reasons and so forth are the one of the reasons its not included with ubuntu [14:50] V3ronika: oh thats the favorites in nautilus [14:51] anli_: yes if you want it to [14:51] ward-: Can you also resize the taskbar? [14:51] ActionParsnip: Thanks! [14:51] anli_: resize? [14:51] evening all [14:51] V3ronika: drag the folders you want to the panel in the bottom left of nautilus [14:51] ward: by dragging the edge [14:51] meowbuntu, what Dr_Willis said is also very true [14:51] How fast is virgin modile wireless dsl anyone use it before? [14:51] ActionParsnip: thanx!!! [14:51] !ot | perlsyntax [14:51] perlsyntax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:51] anli_: you got these tiny subdevisions in gnomepanals that have mutliple items [14:52] got a quick question, what, in your own opinion, is the best lightweight desktop [14:52] Dr_Willis, y then is the free flash plugin playup [14:52] ward-: the first windows I created resulted in higher taskbar entries, which were kinda ugly, but when the number of windows had increased, they got a nicer taskbar button height [14:52] StaticPhilly: depends on your needs [14:52] anli_: you can drag them to re-arrange the space one can use [14:52] StaticPhilly: in my opinion, LXDE [14:52] meowbuntu legal and moral issues.... [14:52] StaticPhilly: also look out for Lubuntu ;) [14:52] ward-: And I will also have to do that? [14:52] meowbuntu: and liceseing 'issues' [14:52] ActionParsnip: THANK YOU [14:52] meowbuntu: takes the VERY VERY VERY high legal ground [14:52] anli_: erm... if you want to change it then yes you need to do it [14:52] ward-: there is no apparent drag handle [14:52] so Dr_Willis is there a free flashplugin that works then [14:53] anli_: nobody is making ubuntu specifically to meet your needs this is called tweaking [14:53] to make it the way you like it [14:53] meowbuntu, install flashplugin-nonfree [14:53] Dr_Willis: just for setting up and editing configuration files etc remotly (want a faster way then vi or nano really) [14:53] StaticPhilly: just install an ubuntu then run: sudo apt-get install lxde done [14:53] I'm also trying to add mount of smb to the fstab. Now I don't know what creditentials means: /// cifs credentials=,rw,user,noauto 0 0 Can someone please explain me what is creditentials. Is it something like 755 file permissions in linux? [14:53] meowbuntu, it's illegal to distribute it, but you can still install it [14:53] anli_: sorry cannot help then, just mess with it [14:53] StaticPhilly: for super lightness use xubuntu === thijs_ is now known as thijs__ [14:53] meowbuntu, flashplugin-nonfree will download and install it for you [14:53] anbody know what the dot means after permissions drwxr-xr-x. [14:53] aperson, and i would have to install the other flash plugin to stop conflicts [14:53] this room a joke alot. [14:53] anli_: also this is gnome, you can use other stuff aswell like KDE, fluxbox, ... whatever you like [14:54] meowbuntu, that *is* the flash plugin [14:54] #ubuntu-de [14:54] windows managers i mean [14:54] StaticPhilly: For even more lightness/thinness. Install LXDE / XFCE packages as you go from minimal. :) [14:54] travalas, over-analysing [14:54] #ubuntu-user.de [14:54] ActionParsnip: thank you i will have a look into xubuntu and see what i make of it, lxde is what i had in mind but was just looking into what otehrs there were as well :) thanks again [14:54] .. [14:54] IkarusMK: /join #ubuntu-de [14:54] maybe be but it's inconsistent [14:54] it doesn't always show up [14:54] ward-: hm, hard to make a good choice there, maybe KDE is what I want to use [14:54] But I dont think it is very beautiful anyway [14:54] gnome is ok [14:55] travalas, when does it show up? [14:55] StaticPhilly: Lubuntu will be an official release too ;) [14:55] aperson, mint has bothe a free and non free flashplugin. ubuntu only has nonfree [14:55] meowbuntu, there is only the nonfree one [14:55] StaticPhilly: as leaf-sheep says if you install minimal then install lxde you will have a mean slick system [14:55] anli_: well gnome-panel is just not very nice to put on the side of your screen [14:55] V3ronika: credentials are your user/pass needed for the win-share. you can put them into a file, 2 lines: username=yourusername / password=yourpassword [14:55] anli_: you could use a dock for that maybe [14:56] aperson: gnash and swdec exist [14:56] ActionParsnip: I did it for my Gnome. I like not having Evolution and other silly little things I have no need for. :) [14:56] meowbuntu: ubuntu carries gnash iirc [14:56] ActionParsnip, that's not what meowbuntu is getting at [14:56] aperson, you should consult the mint repos then there is 2 there [14:56] V3ronika: make sure to set permissions of that file very restrictive [14:56] aperson: gotcha [14:56] meowbuntu, howabout just install flashplugin-nonfree and not worry about it :) [14:56] leaf-sheep: exactly, i use ulite to achieve the same [14:56] meowbuntu: the non-free package normally downloads the proper flash tar.gz from the flash fileservers [14:56] V3ronika: for more info, read "man mount.cifs" [14:57] boomernang [14:57] How frequently does the weather indicator in the timeanddate panel applet update? [14:57] ActionParsnip, leaf-sheep thanks, just looking at xubuntu now, but yes it will be from a min build then just apt the desktop so it only has what i need installed [14:57] boomernang, that's what i'm trying to figure out [14:57] ManDay: i think its controlable [14:57] When I resize a window, it will not update live, is that possible to chagne in gnome? [14:57] I only get a blue outline until I have released the mouse button [14:57] travalas, i think it is scripts that are owned by root for cron [14:57] anli_: i perfer the blue box/outline. :) === c is now known as charitwo [14:58] anli_, I think that's a compiz thing, I'm not sure if gnome can do it by itself [14:58] anli_: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah [14:58] aha [14:58] anli_: compiz-fusion does that [14:58] anli_: there may be some compiz setting for it, [14:58] maybe compiz-fusion isnt that good then [14:58] anli_: press alt-F2 and type ccsm [14:58] anli_: it IS good [14:58] thx! [14:58] anli_: you can SET IT UP [14:58] ward-, that isn't installed by default [14:58] boomernang, maybe, but i'm seeing it in my home directory as well [14:58] anli_: just like allmost anything in linux you can set it up [14:58] anli_: its the resize option in ccsm [14:59] travalas, symlinks? [14:59] aperson: what isnt installed by default? [14:59] anli_: set it to "normal" ad it will act as expected [14:59] aperson: aaaaaah [14:59] ActionParsnip, I've only seen a setting for this in the actual weather applet, but not in the timeanddate one [14:59] you know [14:59] aperson: yes you are correct === BaByGIRL-_-HOT is now known as greyz [14:59] anli_: sorry first do this in a terminal: [14:59] ManDay: well its weather, doesnt change too quickly ;0 [14:59] ;) [14:59] anli_: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [15:00] anli_: when you did that press alt-F2 and type ccsm [15:00] ward-: already done using synaptic [15:00] anli_: just aswell [15:00] ActionParsnip, you wouldn't say that if you lived at my place ;p [15:00] boomernang, no they aren't symlinks, could be hard links === TheTosh is now known as Guest11702 [15:01] anli_: its also under system somewhere btw, if you prefer that way of opening it [15:01] ActionParsnip: This is just a rough screenshot -- http://tinyurl.com/yb236et -- You see Desktop, Documents, Public, etc. Those folders have little emblems icons on them. Know what package uses that? I lack that and I can't figure out which package does that. :) [15:01] hi! in which file is it that i add grub boot-options when i want them to stay added after a kernel upgrade? [15:01] travalas: it's SELinux stuff [15:01] pirx, /etc/default/grub [15:02] hi what is the terminal command for installing aurora theme engine? [15:02] pirx, you need to run update-grub after editing that [15:02] exploreralex, it's not in the repositories [15:02] anli_: click window managment there [15:02] hi [15:02] is it possible to donwload torrent files? [15:02] anli_: thn resize window [15:02] aperson: how do you suggest i install it then? [15:02] anli_: and then the second tab, called general [15:03] has anyone messed around with conky? [15:03] pinky: thanks! [15:03] anli_: change it from rectangle to normal [15:03] Hi, I'm running an Ubuntu image through Virtualbox.. its from the same distrib as the one I dual boot with, however I can't get resolution over 800x6000 [15:03] fonts in writer move as I type! (ie. small changes in kernelling). Is that normal? [15:03] very distracting [15:03] aperson: yepps, thanks! do you also know how i edit the grub boot options when installing the OS? [15:03] I can't find any option in Virtualbox to "tell it" that I have higher resolution, so how do I get it to use a higher res? [15:03] exploreralex, sudo apt-add-repository ppa:elemenatarydesktop [15:04] aperson: thanks.

[15:08] exploreralex, as long as it completed add-apt-repository for you [15:08] 348M ram . 30% cpu usage at idle [15:08] i use firefox piojunbabia [15:09] i use chrome :D [15:09] you mean chromium === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [15:09] sunrider, i thought you dont like firefox [15:09] epiphany-browser is the best. It uses only fraction of memory of firefox and its javascript is fastest of the bunch. It's really the best out there. [15:09] no, chrome [15:09] aperson: nope. not working [15:09] google chrome [15:09] epiphany IS firefox [15:09] does anyone know how to use lpr to print a range of pages? my lpr seems to accept just the -Z options. [15:09] is not. epiphany-webkit at least is based on webkit. [15:10] you telling me epiphany is not firefox simply renamed for debian machines [15:10] can i just burn onto a cd-rw which already has data on it as i would burning normally onto a cd-r on ubuntu? [15:10] ello - to manage starting programs is a sysrcv or?? [15:10] in OO writer, words that I typed say a line ago relocate their characters slightly. Happens with any font [15:10] sunrider: perhaps you mean iceweasel? [15:10] it sucks. Is this what you experience too?

[15:11] exploreralex, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementaryart/elementarydesktop [15:11] YES i mean iceweasel [15:11] ice weasel [15:11] How do I install Ubuntu Netbook Remix with whole disk encryption (luks)? [15:11] bonjouur :) [15:11] freaky[t], why use chrome, when chromium is open source and is the same thing? [15:12] ActionParsnip, temperature just dropped by 1 degree. the applet appears to be alive :) [15:12] aperson, lemme check [15:12] ManDay: cool [15:12] nteresting things are found in my trash. i dont remember deleeting most of them y there i wonder [15:12] In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken or am I going crazy? [15:12] freaky[t], plus, chromium is what chrome is built off of, and you can get updates/features faster :0 [15:12] alankila, im sorry, i didnt know [15:12] According to my tests, chromium is no better than webkit. The canvas tag may be slightly faster for some operations, but javascript memory performance was similar to firefox, in effect atrocious. [15:13] this is a new install also [15:13] alankila, chromium uses webkit [15:13] aperson, it's not in the repositories is it? [15:13] freaky[t], ppa:chromium-daily [15:13] aperson: yes, but the javascript engine is v8, which is worse than whatever webkit comes with, I think. [15:13] meowbuntu: if you install bleachbit it will uninstall a whole host of stuff you didnt think you have which is just hanging around [15:13] alankila, v8 is faster, imho [15:13] if webkit does indeed come with any javascript engine. [15:13] o well i gtg [15:13] Hello is there anyone who has some understanding of gloobus [15:13] Firefox > everything else on all of my Linux and Windows machines. [15:13] alankila, webkit is a rendering engine, not a javascript engine [15:14] HOLA SOY DE COSTA RICA ALGUN LATINO POR AQUI [15:14] aperson: chromium rocks :). Arora is good too [15:14] aperson: hard to say. I could not detect any improvement at runtime for my tests, but I saw much larger memory usage. [15:14] alankila: chrome and chromium are built on webkit [15:14] aperson, how do i add that?

[15:14] !es | Mozillero124 [15:14] freaky[t], add-apt-repository [15:14] hmm... so in epiphany-browser, I wonder what the javascript engine is called. [15:14] aperson, just add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily [15:14] aperson, ? [15:14] How can you use a browser with no extensions? You need ad blockers, script blockers, etc [15:14] freaky[t], add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily [15:14] i shall aptget epiphany [15:14] aperson, ok done that [15:14] whenever i start my system gnome-do asks for my keyring password, anyway to make it remember keyring password forever? [15:14] aperson, wait ;D [15:14] Epiphany is nothing fancy [15:14] i'm looking for a simple distro under 2gb that will boot fast and act like asus "expressgate" [15:15] freaky[t], sudo aptitude install chromium-browser [15:15] eremite, it uses very little ram!

[15:16] ! [15:16] webkit contains a javascript engine, it seems. So I guess Google guys just wanted to invent their own. I guess they started out when webkit's js stll sucked. [15:16] all i know is ubuntu is SLOWWWWWWWW compared to dsl [15:16] bobo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY1xAiNnPTc [15:16] sunrider, browser can easily be hijacked. [15:16] Is there an alternate installer for UNR? [15:16] there's been a lot of improvement in the last year or two [15:16] eremite, what makes firefox defended against hijacking [15:16] bobo: I suggest BYZANTINEOS for older machines. [15:16] aperson, does chromium exactly like google chrome? oO [15:16] arooni_____: possibly acpi -Vf [15:16] arooni_____: install lm-sensors, run sensors-detect, then enter ensors [15:16] s* [15:16] had epiphany till recently, somehow the transition to webkit brings with it encoding issues amongst others e.g. missing options on right click menu e.g. open in new tab...persisted for awhile, filed bug reports even both at launchpad and gnome upstream, eventually gave up...using chrome and firefox primarily these days [15:16] there has been very little improvement in firefox memory suckage reduction [15:17] sunrider, FF has ability to ad scrip blockers and ad blockers. [15:17] freaky[t], chrome is built off of chromium [15:17] bobo: boots in 4 seconds on my SATA w/ 8mb cache, 2Gb DDR2 and 1.6Ghz single core CPU [15:17] http://bel.fi/~alankila/hdr/hdrexperiment.html only works properly in webkit-based browsers, which tells something about why it's better in my opinion [15:17] Eremite: i have a new machine... oh also i'm looking for network support [15:17] aperson, i know but does it look exactly like google chrome? [15:17] eremite, ah yeah i can disable js [15:17] it's for my lenovo laptop [15:17] (don't click it on firefox, it will suck gigabytes of RAM) [15:17] freaky[t], chromium is thusly updated first | yeah, it is the same [15:17] aperson, because the start page is google.de and a second tab with google chrome [15:17] bobo: If you're not asking about Ubuntu, may I suggest ##linux for general linux advice. [15:17] ubuntu10 very slow and many BUG [15:17] Pici: they ignore me there haha [15:17] freaky[t], you can change that...

[15:21] oh, nvm [15:21] freaky[t], how so? the only difference is that chrome isn't updated as much, and has a different icon [15:21] Hwow do you change the root mysql pw?

[15:22] piojunbabia: I can't see that working - that's an old release with old dependencies [15:22] aperson, google does add stuff ;D [15:23] !hi [15:23] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [15:23] freaky[t], considering google is behind chromium, chromium is the one getting things added [15:23] piojunbabia: that release is no longer supported, you need to upgrade to a supported release like 8.04 or 9.10 [15:23] Aha, the panel had locked [15:23] Please perform a dist-upgrade as 9.10 is the latest. [15:23] !who [15:23] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:23] @ piojunbabia [15:23] aperson, google doesnt do nothing with chromium [15:23] or more of hanged [15:23] kalama [15:23] freaky[t], I'm not so sure about that, they'r the ones behind it [15:23] ok THANKS ALL, il upgrade when my installation disc will arrive,, [15:24] aperson: the relationship between chrome and chromium is akin to Star Office and Openoffice or Red Hat and Fedora [15:25] Rajasun, still, all google does is change the icon [15:25] Hello. Is there specific procedure to fix ubuntu, after changing graphics card (different vendor, model). I swapped my geforce to radeon, and I get only blinking vty1, and cannot do anything. [15:26] myki: uninstall the nvidia drivers and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:26] aperson: I'm getting the updates I want both the app itself and for the extensions...so I'm a happy Chrome user on Ubuntu and I guess u heard the stories about Ubuntu and Google's Chrome OS haven't u? [15:27] myki: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [15:27] EagleScreen: ActionParsnip: How to do this from livecd? I cannot access even vty because of blinking and lags (?). Chroot and proceed as with normal instalation? [15:27] Rajasun, as far as I know, their extension repo isn't up yet, only for submission [15:28] aperson: well ,I hv updates [15:28] "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336619/plain/" I'm trying to run this command and after it runs the "./debian.sh" command it doesnt do anything else ??? [15:28] myki: you may do it woth chroot, and it might work [15:28] anyone using softmaker? [15:29] !anyone | urlwolf [15:29] urlwolf: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [15:29] but, myki it is better to boot ubuntu in recovery mode and run it in root shell [15:29] is softmaker even still alive? [15:29] Hey, I have a question: I have touch buttons at the top of my keyboard (I have a HP laptop) - if I want to mute the sound, I have to press the button three times. In Jaunty it worked fine - any ideas why? [15:29] EagleScreen: recovery mode isn't accessible as well. [15:30] myki: it should be even changing graphics card [15:30] Rajasun, I after looking it up, the only difference is exactly as I said, chrome has branding, chromium doesn't and is updated more often [15:30] can anyone tell me if its possible to tell apt not to update a certin package when doing a dist upgrade? [15:30] Rajasun, so if you have it, I have it as well [15:30] how to open port [15:30] StaticPh1lly, apt-pinning should due the trick [15:30] myki: boot to recovery root console and run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old; shutdown -r now [15:30] !pinning > StaticPh1lly [15:30] StaticPh1lly, please see my private message [15:31] hi I have ubuntu 9.10 trying to get access to a virtual host but all it shows is the default page how do I make it show the correct page I have host setup test.com works on server but not on client [15:31] aperson: u r essentially right otherwise...chrome just look that tad nicer [15:31] Rajasun, because it has an icon? [15:31] myki, ActionParsnip: no need for sudo in recovery mode [15:31] In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken? (In 8.10 is was fine.) [15:32] ActionParsnip, I should convert you to aptitude :P [15:32] thanks aperson [15:32] aperson: nope...the colors and of course themes...u can make it respect the installed desktop gtk theme of course [15:32] I have this in crontab as root mplayer -loop 0 /home/azeo/Music/navy.wav and it play only once. the loop0 should make it to run infintely [15:32] Rajasun, same thing in chromium [15:33] "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336619/plain/" I'm trying to run this command and after it runs the "./debian.sh" command it doesnt do anything else ??? [15:33] aperson: to each his own [15:33] Hi guys [15:33] Rajasun, both have the same themes support, same gtk theme ability | true :) [15:33] Azeotrope: so check the output? [15:33] I need a very small help [15:33] karioke, off with it! :) [15:33] how do you manage wireless in ubuntu remix? [15:33] I am recording some sounds using the sound recorder application [15:33] jrib: how? [15:33] and I am able to do so [15:34] Azeotrope: why are you running it as root? [15:34] yes [15:34] this sound is coming through my USB port [15:34] aperson: aptitude ownz! [15:34] karioke, try to keep it to a couple of lines [15:34] Azeotrope: why should someone ever want mplayer to run as root? [15:34] Rajasun, agreed :) [15:34] aperson, ok [15:34] :P [15:34] Azeotrope: *why* [15:35] Just a check before I write anything about it: I got some code from a developer. It runs perfect on my system, but isn't uploaded to the public yet, and probably won't be for some time. I was wondering if I would get into any trouble if I blogged about the code and made it available for people to download? It's an applet for AWN 0.4 the dev ported from 0.3.2 [15:35] So I have a TV tuner card in my USB part and I am streaming the video to mplayer. I am unable to get the sound [15:35] what should I do [15:35] OttifantSir: ask the dev [15:35] jrib, I want the alarm to sound at the login screen [15:35] karioke, I'm not sure about mplayer, but I know vlc has a record option [15:35] when will be lucid alpha 1 ready to test? [15:36] !lucid | Guybrush88 [15:36] Also, I see my TV tuner card in "sound recorder" application and I am able to record the audio [15:36] Guybrush88: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:36] Guybrush88: Dec10 [15:36] lun4tic: and hoe could i make the alarm play every morning at the login screen? [15:36] Azeotrope: either redirect stderr and stdout in your command to a file somewhere or install an MTA so you can read mail from cron [15:36] jrib: I wish to do so, but he isn't online right now, and I feel the inspiration now, so I asked here to see if anyone would give me a bit more legalese advice than that. [15:36] !schedule-#ubuntu+1 > Guybrush88 [15:36] Guybrush88, please see my private message [15:36] !reset-panels [15:36] Guybrush88, dec 10th [15:36] Guybrush88: As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [15:36] aperson: I tried VLC. there too I am able to stream but not audio [15:36] OttifantSir: it's completely up to him and the license he chooses [15:36] normally cron should be able to run stuff as any user you want [15:36] I have the release schedule as my wallpaper :) [15:36] hi [15:36] not dependend on their login as user [15:36] !enter [15:37] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:37] my video device is /dev/video1. I am not sure of the audio one. [15:37] Gaybrush88: check the weekly newsletter at distrowatch [15:37] karioke, but the audio works through mplayer? you could use audacity to record it, I think it can record whatever is coming out of your speakers [15:38] aperson: the sound is not comming from my speakers. The only way till now for me to hear the sound of the tuner card is to record it via "sound recorder" and play it [15:38] then mplayer uses the wrong audio device for recording [15:39] how do I minimalize memory usage as far as it is possible to get my Ubuntu 8.10 to work fast and smooth on duron 1200+ 384mb ram? And also how to get flash to work decently on such rig? [15:39] yes [15:39] what's your default audio input? [15:39] lun4tic: thats the issue. How do I know whats the correct audio device (like for video its /dev/video) [15:39] anyone knows how to manage wireless connections using ubuntu netbook remix? [15:39] roger: remove any unnecessary services and start up programs [15:39] hi ppl [15:40] karioke: maybe it is set to some line or microphone, which is noch connected currently [15:40] am new in ubuntu [15:40] roger__, as for flash... there is none :/ [15:40] !hi Elnino [15:40] !hi | Elnino [15:40] Elnino: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [15:40] i just installed ubuntu on my compaq and the sound ain't coming out [15:40] roger__: lower the processes as possible, f.e. install bum, check in htop/top for uneened ones and shoot/disable them .. higher 1 gig is enough [15:41] lun4tic, Using the sound preferences I have set the input as my USB tuner card [15:41] Elnino: give us your lspci through nopaste.info [15:41] DasEi 1gb ram would make everything smooth? [15:41] roger__: procci wa menat [15:41] ment* [15:41] morning all [15:41] !sound | Elnino [15:41] Elnino: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 === co_hisap_T0ked is now known as ngantuk-sangat [15:41] karioke: is your sound running through pulseaudio? if yes try to set stuff through some pulseaudio gui :) === morticia_ is now known as morticia [15:42] i am able to ping from linux to windows but not from windows to linux. destination host unreachable. am using ubuntu 9.10 server on virtualbox. [15:42] roger__: lowest is 256 ram, even a setup to 512 will boost your machine, is it sd ram ? [15:42] ye sadly, it was 256 until today [15:42] ssd5: firewall ? [15:43] hard to find sd ram and it's expensive [15:43] ssd5: sounds like a virtual box networking modes question - there is #vbox better suited [15:43] lun4tic, Do you know a way to detect the different audio devices in my system (/dev/*) [15:43] http://nopaste.info/9872c8db27.html [15:43] its fresh installation. windows firewall is off. [15:43] roger__: ebay you can have luck, or the dumpster.. [15:43] guntbert, ok thanks === heinrich_ is now known as Shurakai [15:44] ssd5: see ya :-) [15:45] Is there a way to make the menues and drop down lists in gnome not look so ultra fat [15:45] is that possible that lack of ram can cause problems with proper system shutdown, and even a destruction of ntfs filesystem? cuz that what happened for me, but I recovered luckyli [15:45] roger__: back to bum, can use it to unload unneeded modules/daemons, also check htop or conky for your systemload [15:45] roger__: not really, it will just slow things [15:46] is there any good realtime strategy game for ubuntu but warzone2100? [15:46] roger__: also can do a memtest, to see if ram is faulty [15:46] karioke: if you use the standard ubuntu audio system there are differend pulseaudio GUI programms that show your audio devices [15:46] DasEi cool hint [15:46] DasEi trying bum as we speak [15:46] if your TV tuner hardware doesn't show up there then it isn detected correctly [15:47] lun4tic, can you name one? [15:47] no juste "apt-cache search pulseaudio" [15:47] -e [15:47] DasEi do I need power management or something on a desktop? [15:48] roger__: another more radical idea is to use another wm then gnome, I once set up karmic on a 512 celeron using icewm, netinstall cd and only needed packages, ran fine, though just vid-cd's , no dvd (but could copy to hd to view) [15:49] gonna try icewm [15:49] roger__: http://tinyurl.com/ynmk44 [15:50] roger__: no, unless any special hotkeys fail, just try it [15:51] anyone knows how to manage wireless connections using ubuntu netbook remix? [15:51] DasEi can I disable gdm service in bum? [15:51] mezquitale: nm-applet [15:51] DasEi what will it resoult with [15:52] roger__: I think it can run gnome, if you want this, get the minimal installer, install no packages in first and then only the needed one per hand, ultra slim footprint [15:52] mezquitale: should be in the top-panel by default [15:52] lun4tic, So I see my tuner card in the input. Infact there is lots of motion in the volume bar. But I hear no noise [15:52] roger__: just try, I havent it enabled too, though gdm logs me in [15:52] lun4tic, Also in the putput I have the output device as "dummy output" [15:53] Jamed, network manager?!? But that manages wired connections nicely but it's nothing like network manager on my laptop, I cant even configure it to use a router without security [15:53] so your card records but your ourput device isn't set correctly [15:53] output* [15:53] maybe the sound apps that work don't use pulseaudio but alsa directly [15:54] so what do i do [15:54] how can i disable this annoying keyring message after auto login when it tries to connect to my wireless ? [15:54] mezquitale: i never tried a router without security (should have WPA anyway), but nm should be able to handle it [15:54] karioke: check rightclick --> preferences --> hardware on your volume controll applet in the gnome-panel [15:54] Regarding ufw; I have the following defined in ufw/user/rules ### tuple ### deny any any 0.0.0.0/0 any 222.216.0.0/15 [15:54] -A ufw-user-input -s 222.216.0.0/15 -j DROP [15:54] [15:54] -l [15:54] anyone know where I can set the values for screen brightness that my hotkeys control? I can set my brightness higher than what my hotkeys let me [15:54] the keyboard layout is even wrong in this dialog === kane77 is now known as matQo [15:55] hello guys, is this the right place to ask a question about amarok? [15:55] but my apache log shows user within that range attempting to access content with 'file not found error'. Is ufw blocking these IP's [15:55] thibaut, #amarok might be more appropriate, but I'd say shoot [15:55] thibaut: just ask :) [15:55] ^^ ufw/user.rules [15:56] ok thanks, does anyone know whether it's possible or not to see covers in large size (say 600x600) in amarok2? [15:56] DasEi can I swith to another window manager just like with xubuntu, which I didn't like because of it's bugs [15:56] roger__: yes [15:56] DasEi could I have icewm like that, choosable from logon screen [15:57] roger__: yes [15:57] Jamed, does your network manager applet give you a list of wireless connections under "Available"? All I see is "Wired Network" and "VPN connections", I'm going to try another wireless drdiver [15:57] hello ever y body .. today again i am having an problem i want to know about how to determine the storage capacity in an blank dvd .. few mint's back i have tried to burn an dvd .. with some multimedia file in data format ... around 4.6 gb of data .. it give me an msg there is not enough space but but manufacture is claming they provide 4.7 gb of data so can any body on this network can help me on this issue ..... thank s in advance [15:57] This is my first time using this [15:57] DasEi I want an intuitive wm, which will automount devices but remain light and fast [15:58] mezquitale: yes it does. my be the SSID is hidden, or you lack the correct driver for your wireless card [15:58] mezquitale: *may [15:58] "http://paste.ubuntu.com/336619/plain/" I'm trying to run this command and after it runs the "./debian.sh" command it doesnt do anything else ??? [15:58] roger__: the given link provides information about apps been less hungry and howto install them, things like mounting are not wm-related [15:58] DasEi gonna try icewm [15:58] mezquitale: what wireless card do you have? [15:59] ranjan, if there's not enough space it could be that there's not enough free space on your hard drive, also you cannot burn exactly 4.7 gigs, you need some space for the file system structure [15:59] I have this in crontab as root mplayer -loop 0 /home/azeo/Music/navy.wav and it plays only once. the loop0 should make it to run infintely [15:59] xxbones21xx_: Once you've chrooted someplace, the next command can't of course execute since you'd have to successfully exit the chroot before it could get back to the point in your script where the next thing happens [16:00] acabei de instalar o ubuntu 9.10 e estava normal mais agora não consigo acessar outras repartição na minha hd [16:00] ranjan: the problem is that there are two commonly-used definitions for the gigabyte: 10^9 bytes, and 2^30 bytes. those numbers aren't the same, and the discrepancy can cause problems in corner-cases like yours, if you aren't using the same convention for both data and medium.

[16:22] wow, that's cool, thanks :D. I only need to figure out how to read the output :p [16:22] PeturI, have you got Gparted application? [16:22] EsatYuce: Yes i do [16:23] PeturI, : do you know tı use it? [16:23] can anyone tell me how to carry out the process this guy has said in this link??: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-May/185807.html [16:23] pvandewyngaerde: Usually, when you log in to Ubuntu, it uses the password you entered to unlock the keyring named 'login'. When auto-login is used, there's no password to be used - and so it asks you to unlock the keyring manually. [16:23] una sala en español [16:23] I'm more found of fdisk.. but yes i can use gparted [16:23] I have Ubuntu 9.10 i want to install Google Erath application, i downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin file from site.

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:24] pvandewyngaerde: So, create a new keyring named 'login', then right-click and set it as the default one. Then delete the other keyrings. === EagleSn is now known as EagleScreen [16:24] pvandewyngaerde: And after that, it will always be automatically unlocked.

I want to try and make it run faster by transferring the file system to a flash drive. What do I need to copy? Do I just need to change the path so it can find everything?

[16:26] pvandewyngaerde: No. [16:27] lcb: not very known issue, are you using Karmic? [16:27] pvandewyngaerde: You want it to be unlocked automatically, don't you?

[16:28] Why would my system have slowed down to a crawl since installing 9.14?

[16:40] om26er: "vcut" from "vorbis-tools" can be used to trim [16:40] craigbass1976: a polite phone call/mail is probably the first step :-) [16:40] I can't get it to work [16:40] thevishy, look into ClamWin, they have a linux cli version that you could use. [16:40] how can I fix this error with apache2? http://pastebin.ca/1705701 [16:40] sipior, I don't know who they are [16:41] thevishy: It doesn't do "live" scanning, only on-demand scanning in Ubuntu, but basically the same client as you get for Windows. [16:41] craigbass1976: you have their email address, i imagine. [16:41] sipior, it's like a brute force, but on pop rather than ssh [16:41] jeansch: and what's the issue?

I find not many people do much with apache in this chan [16:44] thevishy: also can use antivir from command line [16:44] jeeves_Moss, let me rephrase that, they might, however responses are slim [16:45] mattgyver, lol. I tried to install SubSonic on a v-hosted box, and it ate it. I was drinking last night when I installed it, and I wasn't in the mood to troubleshoot [16:45] DasEi, can you explaiin ? [16:46] jeeves_Moss, sucks man id be more than glad to help you out but my knowledge is very limited. [16:46] mattgyver, no worries. [16:46] CarlFK: Are you using a seperate /home partion? [16:46] thevishy: you wanted an antivir to scan infected win-hd's, antivir can be run from terminal ( no gui in linux) to do that [16:47] anyone know how to extend the login timeout in ubuntu? i can't login because of a 60 second timeout. im not using ssh. [16:47] DasEi, but would that be installed in my computer by default ? [16:47] antivir is some 3rd party tool ? [16:47] thevishy: try installing clamtk + clamav from the repos, that'll get you the clam av engine and graphical user interface [16:47] thevishy: no, got to fetch the tarball from antivirs HP [16:48] !compile | thevishy [16:48] thevishy: Compiling software from source?

[16:53] Rajasun: yes installed 4 and none did help [16:53] portn0k: yes, that fixes it, until reboot [16:53] !root [16:53] 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 [16:53] I've made a bootable live usb stick of kubuntu using the built in utility. Now I would like to get rid of the first 2 questions while booting to it .. ie.. language and "Try first - Live Environmant".. I want it to boot directly to the Live environment.. How do I do that? [16:53] suppose the hacker has the network key [16:53] thevishy: What makes you think the virus did something to the router? [16:53] thevishy: i doubt any windows malware has affected your router [16:53] for instance, usually i have to open up "root terminal" from one of the menus to delete some backup files created for me. however, now i'm ssh'd in and i can't open the gui root terminal. [16:54] mattgyver, First, install went beautiful, as it has in every version. However, when I go to boot the system, all I get is a grub "prompt", but I don't mean a prompt that's waiting for a response. [16:54] someone tried to download a keylogger spy to me on this channel - who do I contact ? [16:54] its a virus , the resason is that during boot it shows ur lan configuration has been changed [16:54] darthanubis, thank you - but like i said, i am using sudo [16:54] pvandewyngaerde: im sure theres a package somewehre, but put it in your login config file perhaps ;/ [16:54] seg_fault: you mean authority-wise? [16:54] johnfg, you get the 'grub >" prompt ? [16:54] if i try to install this windows machine with a av , it restarts - if I try to download a iso with rescue disc which has av it restarts randomnly [16:54] yeah [16:55] going to do a dual boot win7and ubuntu 9.10 to a blank disk.. is it better to have win or ubuntu installed first? [16:55] mattgyver, Yes, and then it just hangs there. [16:55] seg_fault: no one will do anything, consider that to be trivial at best [16:55] Does anyone know any MSN clients that support webcam? One possibly other than aMSN === Guest35178 is now known as Mud [16:55] anyone have more knowledge about the sudo-ing? [16:55] bieb: Probably better to have Win installed first. [16:55] mattgyver, Whoops, not the ">", too, just grub. [16:55] d0wn: maybe emesen [16:55] windows first, it would erase any ubuntu configuration [16:55] warriorforgod, do virus do anything to router and comps on the sme Lan [16:55] johnfg, so you cannot input anything then? [16:55] thevishy: if theyre vulnerable to something [16:55] where should nfs mounts be placed? it seems if i put them in /etc/fstab it might be that the network is not up when they are mounted (or tried) ? [16:55] ok [16:56] logintimeout: Would you rather have it disabled or just extened to say 60 secs? [16:56] warriorforgod and pvandewyngaerde.. thanks for the info [16:56] d0wn: emesesne crazy is supposed to [16:56] thevishy: Very unlikely it would change anything on your router. It could affect other windows comps on the network. Have you ran a virus/spyware scan? [16:56] nperry: i need it extended to 240 sec [16:56] mattgyver, Right, and I tried the usual things to try and get into grub, but it's not waiting for input. [16:56] d0wn: remember that you typically have to open ports on your router to allow webcam, whiteboard, file transfer etc.. [16:56] ok [16:56] bieb: np. [16:56] I have a Microphone problem. My guitar is plugged in and the mixer shows that it's picking up sound, however, there is no sound. This works flawlessly on my windows machines, so its not the guitar/patch/adapter. How do I get sound from the mic to speakers?? -_- [16:56] i am downloading a rescue cd based on gentoo linux and kapersky antivirus [16:56] Oh wow, thanks Scunizi and Qtpaxa: this client looks nice. Love me some python, too :D [16:56] Scunizi: thanks :] [16:57] i want to be safe that the ubuntu which on the same wifi , is safe [16:57] sure* [16:57] portrn0k! thanks [16:57] so my PC just locked up for about 20 minutes, thrashing, with no swap enabled and with only about 45% of memory being used by programs [16:57] johnfg, sound like your issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307042 [16:58] logintimeout: give this a go http://paste.ubuntu.com/336665/ [16:58] mattgyver, I'll go check that out... [16:58] 55% of memory is being used by caches which refused to be flushed when necessary [16:58] logintimeout: Not to sure if the timed works if your remoting in. [16:59] so generally these windows virus wont affect ubuntu based systems on the same Lan right ? [16:59] thevishy: Right :) [16:59] Easy question - I have several sda's on my server. I want to create a dictory at root of the server, but want to directory to be located on sda9. How do I do that? [16:59] thevishy: correct [16:59] Eremite: You want to get the sound captured from the Mic to play through your speaker? [16:59] Fish-Face, I admire your patience, I don't wait 20 minutes on a thrashing system, I usually turn it off after about 2 or 3 [16:59] Is there a way to check the current version of software that is in repositories with apt? [16:59] thank god [16:59] nperry: ok, i'll try it next time my computer freezes and i need to login to tty1 [16:59] demonspork, I hung a picture and took a groceries delivery while I waited... [17:00] rayno_b: You create the partion on sda, the set the mount point /dir [17:00] gah, it's still hitching every time I do something [17:00] Fish-Face. Why no swap? [17:00] I don't know HOW it's thrashing now I have disabled swap [17:00] im haveing a problem with nvidia 750a boot up ubuntu 9.1 can some one help me out [17:00] d0wn: dpkg-query -W packagename [17:00] Fish-Face: try a ram check next boot at grub [17:00] KaiForce, because it was thrashing. I figured if I disabled swap it would either start killing browser tabs when I ran out, or it would reap more pages of cache [17:00] Thanks rajasun [17:00] nperry - sorry I don't understand. can you explain a little in more detail? [17:01] in fact, it uses more cache [17:01] d0wn: apt-cache policy package [17:01] khensthoth: yes [17:01] Sure, are you wanting it to be mounted every boot time, or do it automatically? [17:01] Fish-Face - if it was thrashing, you are already ram starved. Disabling swap made it worse, not better. [17:01] llutz: thanks, I think that is what I need [17:01] I can get sound to record, but I cant hear it. [17:01] logintimeout, can bad RAM cause this? [17:01] Eremite: Have you tried turning up the Mic volume in the Playback tab under alsamixer? [17:01] KaiForce, well, that would make sense, but I *should* have plenty of memory [17:01] Fish-Face, a bad HDD can cause this, do you have any other OS you can boot into? [17:02] not installed on here, no [17:02] d0wn: that's for installed packages, for packages not installed use apt-show-versions packagename [17:02] KaiForce: unless your aim was to force the system to kill processes and stop thrashing, in which case disabling swap would do that [17:02] demonspork, I have been suspicious of the HDD since it threw a bad sector recently [17:02] but I zapped the sector and it's been OK [17:02] last SMART test passed too [17:02] exit [17:02] khensthoth: yes. I'm familiar with setting up windows machines for this, and it seems to be the same style of recording settings available. Like I said, I get sound if I record it, but not live. [17:02] Rajasun, yeah, that was what I needed :] Thanks for your help though [17:02] Fish-Face, boot up off of the liveCD and see if the problem persists, that can determine whether it is the hdd or the other hardware [17:02] d0wn: np [17:03] Fish-Face, or just a messed up Ubuntu install [17:03] rayno_b: ? [17:04] Fish-Face, was it spending a lot of time in %WA? [17:04] it shouldn't be the installation - I reinstalled recently and the problem was present before that [17:04] I copied over ~/ but obviously that should not affect this [17:04] KaiForce, yes [17:05] hello all [17:05] !hello | tina-_ [17:05] what was running?

I'm almost positive that none of the suggested culprits are what's the problem here. [17:05] Eremite, are you using alsa? Are you trying to hear sound on a laptop or desktop? Headphones or speaker? It sounds like you dont have the correct settings for output, or you have another application open that is locking the output, try using jack when recording [17:06] In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken? (In 8.10 it was fine.) [17:06] KaiForce, I generally have XChat, a browser (firefox/chrome with 10-20 tabs) gedit (5-10 open files) pidgin and a couple of terminals [17:06] please help. how do i create iso imahe of a dvd??? [17:06] ok this is crazy stupid, i just need to zip up some files with encryption. cant you do that with the archiver? [17:06] I've reenabled swap now === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-afk [17:07] i installed moblin to check it out now my grub is messed up, i want the ubuntu version back , i can boot ubuntu now, i puted it in the grub.conf , but i want it to get updated when i upgrade kernel [17:07] Hey guys, so I have a very annoying problem where evolution is seems to be continually retrieving (via pop) duplicate messages from my hotmail account. hotmail is set to save the messages on the server. I've been using it for a few months without issue and nothing has changed on my end. I was able to build a deb of the evolution-remove-duplicates RPM from fedora 11 using alien to remove the duplicates but I need to stop this from occurring. [17:07] and sure enough it looks like swappiness is doing its work [17:07] mezquitale: im just trying to hear the mic. Desktop, great sound system. My mixer only shows one device for output and it works for everything but mic. I can record sound, but I cannot hear the sounds coming out of the speakers while I record. [17:07] can i just do grub-install? [17:07] how do i creat iso image of a DVD [17:07] i just fear i will kill the xp that is on it too [17:08] Fish-Face: how much RAM? I missed that [17:08] 1 gigabyte [17:08] freeride: cat /dev/scd0 > /home/yourusername/isoname.iso - you need to find out first of all your dir for the dvd and then change the output dir [17:08] !repeat | freeride [17:08] freeride: 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. [17:08] In windows I never have problems. With linux im in here every dy asking for help. Argh. How much trouble should I have to go through just to ge a microphone to work? [17:08] hmm, should be OK, depending on what are on those tabs [17:08] grendal_prime: yes, see http://tinyurl.com/knorfp [17:08] Eremite, you dont want to hear the sounds while you record, it'll cause some serious ugly feedback, try using headphones while you record [17:08] how do I make firefox use a different icontheme than the rest of my gtk world [17:09] so will grub-install /dev/sda kill my windows? [17:09] KaiForce, it's been slow for ages, but seems to have recently become intolerable. I feel quite resentful about needing more than 1G of memory on a laptop though [17:09] freeride: if you want a gui, k3b does that [17:09] freeride: to find the dev location, go to the Main Menu, click on System, mouseover Administration and select System Monitor. Click the File Systems tab. The device name will be listed in the Device column [17:09] how to create iso image of a DVD disk [17:10] should I upgrade? I heard the latest version is unstable [17:10] DasEi thanks [17:10] freeride: You were already told how to do it. [17:10] mezquitale: I've recorded over 10 albums in my life. I know my stuff. Thanks for the advice, but I just want to hear my guitar through my speakers. Also, I dont record guitars with mics, I record directly to PC. [17:10] tina-_, you can install grub to your MBR just fine, grub will know how to configure itself with windows [17:10] freeride: cat /dev/sr0 >foo.iso [17:10] mezquitale: ty [17:10] Eremite, are you using plain ubuntu or are you using ubuntustudio ? [17:11] Just Karmic [17:11] Is there any software similar to this for Linux?: http://www.sharewareconnection.com/wider-desktop.htm [17:11] Can anyone help me with a few lines of C++? :D [17:11] is using cat to create the iso image better/more efficient than using dd? [17:11] llutz: never tried that, using mkisofs I thought [17:11] settntrenz: less typing [17:11] Even if I wanted to use headphones, it wouldnt change the fact that sound is NOT coming out, but is being picked up if I record. It also shows movement on the input level. === david is now known as Guest7786 [17:12] how do I make firefox use a different icontheme than the rest of my gtk world [17:12] DasEi: mkisofs? creates an iso from filesystem. dvd contains iso, so just copy it [17:12] ak5: You need to create a firefox theme [17:12] would a virus affected usb affect my ubuntu ? i am downloading this iso which I need to copy to usb and burn it in the desktop itself [17:12] nperry: gah, best way? [17:12] llutz: I see, reason I asked was more so for writing bluray iso's. I was trying to use my ps3 running ubuntu to make it but it was taking forever using dd (even specifying large block sizes) [17:13] thevishy: windows virus?? [17:13] yeah windows [17:13] llutz: hence, i was wondering if cat did it faster [17:13] vishy: no [17:13] ok [17:13] thevishy: likely not [17:13] ok but I guess better to be safe [17:13] :) [17:13] for (x=0;x<∞;x++){yell(help.c++)} [17:13] Eremite, I suggest you use ubuntustudio, youre doing your stuff with your hands tied behind your back and blindfolded, if you just want to use your mic as an input, configure everything in "sound" applet, raise volume of mic in "input" tab, make sure in "output" tab is using the correct sound card [17:13] it can't execute in ubuntu, I've cleaned a lot of USB drives on Ubunut [17:13] settntrenz: i haven't tested it yet, but i guess speed will be similar (dd/cat) [17:14] ak5: First of all, is the theme from normal ubuntu install? As someone may have already done it [17:14] oh , how u cleaned them btw Kaiforce [17:14] sal [17:14] hello guys, I'm new with ipod on ubuntu, I can't load Ipod in gtkpod, any suggestions? [17:14] hi, when i'm in nautillus and i type a letter to jump to the file or folder starting with that letter, it expands a folder... how can i disable this behaviour ? [17:14] !ipod | Guest7786 [17:14] the ones I saw had a exe and the ini file that executed, I just deleted them [17:14] Guest7786: 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 [17:14] Juicy: there are other channels for that, surely. [17:14] ask in nautilus Weust` [17:15] nperry: no, sorry everything custom here [17:15] cant find one that doesnt have mandatory nick registration -.- (sipior) [17:15] has to be something related to the nautilus configuration [17:15] oh well have to go to class soon [17:15] mezquitale: this kind of thing is basic in every other OS. Im not chaning OS's just to play guitar, that's silly. I alsoi did everything you said to do BEFORE I started playing. Like I said, ive done this before and I know how to set thinsg up. However, there;s simply no visible option to enable sound to the speakers, which defies all logic. [17:15] llutz: granted bd was ~30GB and writing to NFS over mediocre wlan connection it wrote like 2-3 gigs in an hour which made the whole process useless to me. (I'd rather go buy another copy than not be able to use my ps3 for hours) [17:16] settntrenz: the fact that you cannot be without your PS3 for a day is sad. [17:16] Juicy: that's an odd objection. in any event, it doesn't really justify asking in other random channels. [17:16] is it random? [17:17] ubuntu has alot to do with c++ [17:17] ak5: I've never done the firefox themeing before, best start off point would be this http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=345753&sid=0cd50afa05143e7a93f8aab5f02f8935 [17:17] Juicy: I just got here, what is your question? [17:17] Digitalaxis: FML. I use it for more than gaming though [17:17] nperry: thx [17:17] Juicy: um most of ubuntu is C or Python...not C++ [17:17] where can i find youtube downloader for linux? [17:17] nevermind i firgued it out...stupid gui [17:17] Juicy: this isn't a programming channel, you know? [17:17] Juicy: and this is for ubuntu tech support [17:17] yes ... [17:17] but i have ubuntu [17:17] so [17:17] i might count [17:17] noise_: What do you mean? Are you looking to install ubuntu? [17:17] ak5: Best start off would be to grab the default theme source then just edit icons [17:17] Juicy: it doesnt [17:17] since i get a crash on a program [17:17] :p [17:18] Juicy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:18] Juicy: an ubuntu program or your program? [17:18] my program [17:18] Juicy: doesnt count [17:18] <^workman^> noise_: every heard of "flashgot" it's a firefox plugin [17:18] but, it can be ubuntu related [17:18] <^workman^> ever* [17:18] no [17:18] Juicy: if youve found a bug in gcc or in a library ubuntu is shipping, sure [17:18] nperry: yeah thx a ton man [17:18] Juicy: This is ubuntu support, not personal program FOR ubuntu support. [17:18] Juicy: in which case, report the bug [17:18] http://tinyurl.com/29hs99, noise_ [17:18] Eremite:Give this a look, about halfway down the page (look for "Record Stream") http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [17:19] meh [17:19] hello [17:19] Ok then, ill go look for another programming channel [17:19] i have problems getting my hp laserjet 1000 to work [17:19] Weust`: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true & [17:19] Eremite: There is, in alsamixer. If you can already record, I don't see why turning up the Mic volume in the Playback TAB of alsamixer not work for you. Playback Tab - Not Capture Tab. [17:19] thnx [17:19] strange key Rajasun [17:19] Juicy: There are thousands of C++ IRC's. Use google\ [17:19] i see it in ubuntu system printer but i cant print [17:19] Juicy: could try #bash [17:19] <^workman^> noise_: yea it's cool, check it out - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220 [17:19] Weust`: np [17:19] Rajasun: how did you find that [17:19] what should i do? [17:19] airdem use the original HP driver from manufacture [17:20] ok i will [17:20] ty anyway [17:20] If set to true, then all Nautilus windows will be browser windows. This is how Nautilus used to behave before version 2.6, and some people prefer this behavior. -> does that solve it ? [17:20] khenthoths, im not blind man. Seriously. [17:20] anand any convertor? [17:20] :D [17:20] hi [17:20] i want to install lilo instead of grub [17:20] can u help ? [17:21] Weust`: been years since I last set that... during my Debian Sid days...took me sometime to recall... [17:21] but it was allready set :s [17:21] why does myspace player is loaded so slowly? [17:21] delphiexile: http://tinyurl.com/yfzl5lh [17:21] this wrong keyboard on startup is driving me mad, i set it to "be" , and it is always us, $GDM_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT says us [17:21] mgv1: Bad connection, cluttered computer, bad computer. [17:21] Eremite, youre right, I used to be able to do this in my laptop, karmic has changed something, I can no longer just hook up my mic and then listen to myself on the headphones, I suppose you can probably try it using jack alsa and some guitar synthesizer software, let me fireup my laptop [17:21] portn0k: gonna check [17:22] Eremite: There is another non-trivial way, which requires you to have JACK and the Pulse module for JACK installed. [17:22] hmm it still does not work :) [17:22] Weust`: tt's why I am curious as to how come u r still having the issue...thought spatial nautilus was history [17:22] pvandewyngaerde: sure your desired language is fully installed ? [17:22] pvandewyngaerde: did u try to change it in xorg.conf? [17:22] where does grub 2 set its config, it works like b4 now, just wondering, cause grub.conf is still the one from moblin [17:22] Digitalaxis, ive nice connection and the computer is fine [17:22] is rtorrent the best command-line torrent client [17:22] khensthoth, I dont really have time right now. I'll google-fu myself a fix. [17:22] Thanks anyways [17:22] apocalypt: i have no xorg.conf [17:22] portn0k: i tried google before , no usefull results [17:23] delphiexile: you are wrong. plain and simple, there are probably 10k+ guides on exactly waht to do [17:23] Eremite: Sure. Some help for you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 [17:23] no X server pvandewyngaerde? [17:23] pvandewyngaerde: you don't need a xorg.conf [17:23] mgv1: Than your myspace player should load fine on ubuntu. I have no problem with it. [17:23] how can i sync my system clock with an internet time server ? [17:23] how does flashgot work? [17:23] portn0k: will seek again [17:23] portn0k: if not i'll return to here [17:23] with ntpdae [17:23] scatterp: google for 'openntp' [17:23] Rajasun: it's mor like this: if i'm in / and i type medi , it jumps to media, if i then click the white space, /bin folds open in the same view :s [17:23] pvandewyngaerde: then try dpkg-reconfigure locales [17:23] delphiexile: the second link is: "Making ubuntu use lilo instead of grub", how can that possibly not work? [17:23] ok [17:23] <^workman^> delphiexile: try - http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731162 [17:24] portn0k: i read it before [17:24] how to burn an iso? [17:24] wow flashgot is cool,thanks a lot for the help [17:24] i tried this software called iso master but thats like only creating editing ido etc [17:24] im having an issue with lilo/grub myself with ubuntu server fresh install. read on forums that ubuntu can be tricky with multiple hard drives [17:24] apocalypt: you don't neccessarily need a xorg.conf unless you want to specify a configuration, most auto-configs work fine without a conf [17:24] Tina-, you use grub-probe to probe for an OS that wasn't picked up by grub, then grub-update to configure grub, you can also do it manually though but it's different, no more menu.lst [17:24] delphiexile: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/LILO.html [17:24] !grub2 [17:24] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[17:25] too bad ;) [17:25] <^workman^> !lilo | delphiexile [17:25] delphiexile: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [17:25] thanks anyway Rajasun i'll just try to ignore this behaviour [17:25] freeride: you don't need to. just mount the iso to an empty directory. [17:25] brasero is already there in my system it seems [17:25] Could someone help me troubleshoot setting up VPN? I created the VPN in network manager, but I don't see it working and I don't see any error messages. [17:25] Weust`: k [17:26] by default how do I launch it ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:42] evening all! [17:42] !ask | xander [17:42] binky1: it seems to be a hardware error [17:42] hello, i have set m3u file extension to open with vlc media player, but when i double click on it it still prompts to run in terminal? what to do to get it opening wit vlc when i double click on icon? [17:42] can someone help me with follow error i get while try to burn ISO file http://pastebin.com/m2652217 [17:42] I can't connect to the other ubuntu computer why so [17:43] this is retarded [17:43] well, i have installed ubuntu and since then, i cant talk trough my mic to my friends via skype, and when i talk trough my microphone, i hear myself, someone help me... [17:43] !details | Tob [17:43] Tob: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:43] how do I share files between ubuntu machines [17:43] ok so [17:43] neG_: is the file you're double clicking set to be executable? [17:43] xander: look in the skype Options dialogue.. under audio.. make some changes and see if it works [17:43] <^workman^> !nfs | Tob [17:43] can someone help me with follow error i get while try to burn ISO file http://pastebin.com/m2652217 [17:43] Tob: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [17:43] lol uhmm is there a non-torrent based [17:43] Tob, you can create a network share [17:43] Tob: follow the given tutorial and you will be able, first try to ping the machines, to be sure they can connect at all [17:43] txt mode [17:44] !repeat | Axz [17:44] Axz: 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. === jp is now known as Guest21197 [17:44] trism: not sure, checking, thanks [17:44] binky1: what are you asking? [17:44] i have a problem with my microphone, or sound system, i run ubuntu 8.04 and i get this when i try to talk trough my microphone i hear myself, or when i try to talk with skype, skype says i cant. [17:44] is there a regular download of text based alternate installer [17:44] With Samba, I found it more compatible with my sanity to back up the distribution smb.conf, then write a new, simple one, based on the documentation. [17:44] binky1: sure.. [17:45] xander, what version of skype are you using? [17:45] binky1, yes, ubuntu.com [17:45] Axz: does sylog or dmesg report problems with cd-drive ? ist it listed in the out of mount ? [17:45] binky1: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Downloads/Hardy_Heron [17:45] neG_: because it will generally prompt you to display or execute if it is set to executable (which it shouldn't be for a video/audio file) [17:45] xander: As I remember, PulseAudio (Part of the sound system) is a mess in 8.04, If you could, it'd be better to use the latest version of Ubuntu [17:45] DasEi, yeah i got error log sec... [17:45] trism: it ays im not the owner of file(I have file on secondary had disk under ntfs), though "execute file as program" box is checked [17:45] hold on [17:45] when i open few windows with ff the pc becomes slow [17:45] why does Ubuntu hang the computer which worked stable with win xp [17:46] I'm most interested in allowing OS X users on my LAN to read some files on my Ubuntu box. I'm wondering if it'd be better to use NFS, or just have them use sftp. [17:46] mgv1: how much ram ? [17:46] why does Ubuntu hang the computer which worked stable with win xp, I freezes before shutting down [17:46] i had ubuntu 9.04 and when i used flash there it dident work, or when i use my skype on 9.04 it also did not work [17:46] mgv1, have you tried chromium? [17:46] DasEi, 1000 [17:46] where can i see what version of skype i have [17:46] FoolishOwl, what have you tried so far? [17:46] dotblank, no - what is that??? [17:46] neG_: yeah, that is the problem then, it sets the permissions to 777 for everything by default when it mounts ntfs partitions [17:47] mgv1, Its the open source version of google chrome [17:47] binky1: or if you're in the U.S. http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/ [17:47] mgv1: check htop then for what eats ressources up, pocessor ? === Lynx is now known as Guest47578 [17:47] xander: maybe under the help button? [17:47] !version | xander [17:47] xander: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [17:47] this really sucks =/ [17:47] Ok, another problem. When I try to create a share in nautilus by right clicking > sharing options > share this folder > create share, I get this error: Failed to execute child process, "testparm" (No such file or directory). I have also tried creating it using a terminal > share-admin, but dont know if this work. [17:47] I need to set up some cron jobs, and I want a gui. What should I use? [17:47] !cron [17:47] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [17:47] xander: Flash didn't work as in no video at all or no sound? Did you install the flash-nonfree package? [17:47] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/d7d8aa7c5 [17:47] mgv1, dotblank - try chromium after tomo. Tehere is a rendering bug today . however, it is much much better than Firefox for me [17:47] oal, I like webmin [17:47] DasEi, that's output from Nero Linux [17:47] i never installed anything all that theres on this pc [17:47] binky1: not sure why you wouldn't want to use the torrent though.. I've found it to be the fastest download around.. at least for ubuntu iso's [17:47] is all basic [17:48] darthanubis: but that is for web servers, right? [17:48] http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090630233417AAltZ2h I have the same problem he has but I dont understand the answers [17:48] xander: Then have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. Try installing that, then see if your flash works [17:48] Axz: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog [17:48] oal, it is for computers [17:48] darthanubis: but isn't it a web browser interface? [17:48] oal, yes [17:48] pidgin crashed =\ [17:49] where can i find that? [17:49] saj, bummer [17:49] trism: how to mount hd? sudo mount sdb ? [17:49] darthanubis, I've used Samba in the recent past. It worked adequately. It just seems odd to have *nix systems talking to each other via a Windows-based protocol, with a bunch of extra, irrelevant server features. [17:49] darthanubis: I remember I used gnome..something for cron jobs earlier. Any idea what that was? [17:49] xander do you use google talk or jabber? [17:49] xander: Go to the terminal at Application > Accessories > Terminal [17:49] binky1: Try: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors [17:49] oal, It may be something in system>admin.. [17:49] FoolishOwl, true, then use NFS [17:49] neG_: first create a mountpoint, then mount to it [17:49] xander: Type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:50] darthanubis: gnome-schedule it was :) [17:50] Found it now [17:50] ok i will try [17:50] oal, yup [17:50] binky1: if u start the ubuntu cd in menu window u can use F keys for more options. one of these is for screen resolution [17:50] neG_: sudo mkdir /media/MyMountpoint [17:50] DsaEi: thanks [17:50] darthanubis, how difficult is it to configure NFS? Is there a good document on it? [17:50] neG_: sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/MyMount... [17:50] FoolishOwl, very easy [17:50] DasEi, but isnt the hd already mountd if I can read files? [17:50] its doing something rite now [17:51] neG_: yes, and you don't mount hd's but partitons [17:51] FoolishOwl, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 === local is now known as adminewb [17:51] binky1: in the first menu [17:51] FoolishOwl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#Install%20NFS%20Server [17:51] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: what darthanubis said, or check out - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [17:51] neG_: mount itself tells you what's currentl mounted [17:51] xander: Wait for it to finish - it's downloading and installing quite a lot of packages. [17:51] Is there anyway to make it so Mounted locations are not automatically Always on Desktop? [17:51] i see that [17:51] Is there a better help resource for this sort of issue: There are multiple mostly-separate installations of karmic on my machine. I'd like some help with which of their submount file systems may be shared among them without trouble. Sharing /var appears to be causing conflicts, though /var/lock /var/run are still evidently in a nondiskfs special area. Could there be some storage of package configuration somewhere under /var? [17:51] umm [17:51] error [17:51] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f66171978 [17:51] DasEi, but what is the problem when I cant chnage file rights because im not the owner? [17:51] wow nice tool thanks [17:52] hi, i'm trying to get postgresql setup so that it starts when the system starts, but i'm having trouble with chkconfig => http://pastie.org/732125 [17:52] couldnt find packet ubuntu-restricted-areas [17:52] <^workman^> showmount remotehost will show you what you can mount on the remote nfs server [17:52] neG_: permissions, see man chmod and man chown [17:52] hey guys [17:52] adminewb: I'm curious why you have multiple intalls like that [17:52] what does this mean in apt-get [17:52] The following packages have been kept back [17:52] xander: ubuntu-restrcted-extras not areas [17:52] oh [17:52] ok [17:52] Thanks for the links. So, it should be tricky to setup, easy thereafter? [17:52] DasEi: I have to set chmod for each file seperately? [17:52] Hilikus: it means you should pastebin the command and full output for us [17:52] its doing all that stuff again [17:52] Is there anyway to make it so Mounted locations are not automatically Always on Desktop? [17:53] jrib, it's a multidisk arrangement, one is in MBR partitioning, another GPT [17:53] xander: may u mean ubuntu-restricted-extras? [17:53] does this only work on newer computers or on all? [17:53] !icons | Shwack [17:53] Shwack: 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) [17:53] it says i have the newest [17:53] jrib thank you [17:53] I am having trouble creating a file share, in nautilus, I am getting "Failed to execute child process "testparm" file or directory does not exist. Any suggestions? [17:53] neG_: _r for recursive, read the manpages [17:53] Shwack: in gconf-editor in apps>nautilus>desktop || show volumes [17:53] xander: And Flash still do not work? [17:53] erUSUL: Thank you very much [17:53] DasEi, ok thanks [17:54] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: setting up NFS is very easy. make sure to isntall nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server [17:54] it worked but verry laggy and choppy screen and sound runs behind, and with the other os i had before this one, it all worked perfectly [17:54] jrib, where should i look for help? [17:54] I'm also trying to add mount of smb to the fstab. Now I don't know what creditentials means: /// cifs credentials=,rw,user,noauto 0 0 Can someone please explain me what is creditentials. Is it something like 755 file permissions in linux? [17:55] Axz: yes, many errrors in sr0, does mount show the drive is mounted ? [17:55] adminewb: I don't really understand what you are doing [17:55] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: then edit /etc/exports "man exportfs" to learn about it [17:55] what do i do about my sound problem? [17:55] jrib, long term it is probably better to remove the karmic setup from the MBR disk [17:55] Okay, thanks. In my case, I basically just want to give other folks on my LAN read-only access to the folder where I keep the music files. [17:55] xander: In the terminal, type alsamixer [17:55] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: also run "man 5 exports" [17:55] DasEi, yes its shown that driver gets mounted when i put in the DVD this problem never got before.. jjust these 2 days now [17:56] saj? [17:56] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: it will explain how to setup your /etc/exports file [17:56] jrib, until then, I'm pretty much stuck with an extra installation for a grub2 staging area [17:56] apocalypt: yes? [17:56] ok [17:56] Axz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [17:56] saj u need to install the samba-common-bin package [17:56] i guess [17:56] xander: Use left/right arrow keys to navigate, up/down to increase and decrease volume. Now - find Mic. What's the volume? [17:57] apoc: does that not get installed with the command: sudo apt-get install samba? [17:57] saj i guess in actual version it isn'T [17:57] DasEi, after update reboot? [17:57] ^workman^: thanks for the suggestions. [17:57] there is nothing saying mic [17:57] Whats your suggestion? [17:58] ok, let me try that [17:58] jrib, still the problem is more general than the queer issues of the moment: how to set up multiple installations sharing what filesystems that make sense? [17:58] oh now i see it [17:58] it is at 100% [17:58] Axz: if it says new kernel installed, got to reboot [17:58] woah I think i just overdosed on random text... [17:58] and i hear myself talking trough my microphone [17:58] xander: Yup. Turn that down to 0% [17:58] ok [17:58] now [17:58] xander: Now speak to the microphone to see if you still hear yourself. [17:58] DasEi, what do you think could be issue? [17:58] khensthoth: how about muting it instead? (With the M key.) [17:59] i do still hear myself [17:59] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: np [17:59] because DVD bruner is just 2 week old [17:59] <^workman^> FoolishOwl: good luck [17:59] burner* [17:59] grawity: Ah, never thought of that. Thanks. [18:00] Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [18:00] Axz: either aq failing drive or you somehow lost the right driver for it, alo could try another app, maybe an update conflicts with a 'static' nero install, re-install nero or try k3b [18:00] ntwari: What command did you just use? [18:00] can anyone help me here? [18:00] apocalypt: thanks so much for your help. it worked.... [18:00] This is going to sound idiotic, but which of the information given in ifconfig is the actual device name/manufacturer/whatever? [18:00] ntwari close all othr packate manager tools [18:00] no [18:00] hmm [18:00] so [18:00] ntwari: are you trying to run apt while synatic is still open ? [18:01] i changed this [18:01] yes [18:01] xander: Weird.. Thinking. [18:01] jrib, well, nothing. jut apt-get upgrade [18:01] mic select was on mic1 i changed it to mic2 and now i stopped hearing myself [18:01] but [18:01] ntwari: and start your command with sudo before [18:01] ntwari: close synaptic then [18:01] jrib, one thing occurs to me now: the MBR grub2 partition could just as well be a strictly /boot setup, with no linux kernels or initramfs to load, just grub2 [18:01] The following packages have been kept back: [18:01] bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-40 libdns45 libisc45 libisccc40 libisccfg40 liblwres40 [18:01] then again my question is, why cant i talk trough skype [18:01] hi Dr_Willis [18:01] Dr_Willis: The first three bytes of MAC address (HWaddr) -- and even that cannot be trusted, ifconfig allows changing. [18:01] !pastebin | Hilikus [18:01] Hilikus: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [18:01] i'm having a problem with creating a .deb [18:01] !dh_make [18:01] !.deb [18:01] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [18:01] !deb [18:01] ntwari --> alias ls [18:01] Dr_Willis: Eh, tabfail. [18:01] alias ls='ls --color=auto' [18:01] doh misspasted [18:01] grr [18:01] DasEi: The first three bytes of MAC address (HWaddr) -- and even that cannot be trusted, ifconfig allows changing. [18:01] jrib: there's nothing to paste really [18:01] adminewb: yeah, that's what I would try at least [18:02] dAlfa89_: ifconfig gives you connection info like device name of eth0 wlan1 etc. If you want manufacturer, vendor:device codes, etc then use lspci or lshw [18:02] AW GODDAMNIT [18:02] when i try to call them it says, error with audio playback [18:02] Hilikus: look, why don't you just paste it so I can help you instead of telling me there's nothing to paste [18:02] dAlfa89_: besides the HWaddr, I don't think there's anything else [18:02] grawity: nick-miss ? [18:02] DasEi: Yeah. Twice. [18:02] !info ethtool [18:02] ethtool (source: ethtool): display or change Ethernet device settings. In component main, is optional. Version 6+20090307-1 (karmic), package size 66 kB, installed size 268 kB [18:02] I plan to use my SSD disk for the Ubuntu installation and another disk for documents etc. Will deleted filed from the mounted disk be moved to trash, just as if it was a non-mounted disk? [18:02] how do i enable bash colors? [18:02] filed = files [18:02] grawity: nvm :) [18:02] Tina-: for what command? [18:02] xander: If you switched from mic1 to mic2 you might possibly not be recording yourself through mic anymore. Try Applications, Sound and Video > Sound Recorder. Record something see if your mic still works [18:03] Thanks genii (: [18:03] In 9.10 (Karmic) is WPA2 broken? (In 8.10 is was fine.) [18:03] Tina-: Where exactly? The prompt, or the 'ls' command, or something else? There's no general setting. [18:03] Dr_Willis: all that have colors [18:03] Axz: I gtg now, give that a try then [18:03] Tina-: there is no gerenal setting for that [18:03] DasEi, thanks i will [18:03] http://pastebin.com/m1f78f328 is the problem [18:03] question about kernel image updates: I just installed /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-17-server with dist-upgrade. (1) does this requirea reboot? (2) these updates to the kernel are happeneing really frequently, like 2/month. how do I figure out what the reason for the change is? is it a real security issue that requires me to take down my server for a reboot? [18:03] absolutely no output.. and noting happens.. [18:03] Tina-: see the ls alias i gave above to make ls default to using colors [18:03] Tina-: try to configure it in /etc/bash.bashrc [18:04] k ty [18:04] jrib, any ideas where to get help on sharing submounts across installations? Not either necessarily with NFS mounts or the like, but not ruling those out. [18:04] Matson: if its a security reason, itll be on the ubuntu security page [18:04] Matson: lemme find it for you [18:04] Matson, 1. it requires a reboot to recieve the benefits of the new kernel. 2. A Lot of them are security updates and bug fixes [18:04] Matson: A kernel change requires a reboot. Unless you use 'ksplice', which can do live upgrades (and only upgrades). [18:04] adminewb: here is fine as far as irc goes [18:04] Thanks men, it works. [18:04] Matson: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ [18:04] no [18:05] but it never worked before on ubuntu [18:05] jrib, what about some community howto or faq or something [18:05] and just to say that i have ubuntu 8.04 [18:05] Matson: As for the change reasons -- "aptitude" can show you the change log, do 'aptitude changelog | less' [18:05] adminewb: don't know of one, and doubt it exists [18:05] !support | adminewb [18:05] adminewb: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [18:05] Matson: security.ubuntu.com will redirect there as well. subscribe to the rss so youll know if the kernel update is for security and if the security issue is relevant to your environment [18:06] jrib: i used synaptic instead of apt-get like the forum suggested for the message i posted and it works now. thanks anyway [18:06] maco: grawity dotblank thank you [18:06] jrib, still this is a general unix-alike question that sysadmins would have to know of from basic training [18:06] 1/join #centos [18:06] oops [18:06] Hello everyone [18:06] xander: I'd really recommend you to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, or at least 9.04. PulseAudio on various releases have various issues. 9.10 is the only which works perfectly for me. [18:06] i've just upgraded to 9.10 and i'm trying to import pidgin accounts into empathy but a pop has appeared "Unlock keyring - enter the default keyring to unlock - the applicaton account manager (/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5) wants to access the default keyring but it's locked - it will not take my login/root pass and i've never configured a keyring - what do i do? [18:06] adminewb: what was the actual question? [18:07] hmm [18:07] i will [18:07] I have problem with my sound card : First, often at boot I don't have sound... Second, I get a lot of that message in my syslog : Dec 7 19:03:46 blackblue kernel: [ 639.831518] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x170503 [18:07] laeg: The keyring's password is the same as your Ubuntu account's password. [18:07] <^workman^> exit [18:07] What should I do ? [18:07] now my mic works, but i still hear myself [18:07] Hilikus: not sure why you didn't just pastebin your command and full output so I didn't have to guess. But here is my guess: you ran apt-get upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade (read « man apt-get » for differences) [18:07] I have a problem.... my laptop randomly decided to start working and it fixed itself for no reason.... I didnt even update it.. now wifi on/off switch works and suspend === jcdury is now known as dury [18:07] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and have a problem accessing my 2nd and 3rd hard drives, ubuntu see's temp, I even have icons for each on the desktop but I have no premissions to either drive. Whats the command to give myself ownership of those drives? [18:07] laeg: It's created automatically first time an app needs it, and it is also unlocked automatically upon login (unless you have autologin), that's why you have never noticed it... [18:07] Hi [18:08] jb0nd38372: what file system is on the drives ? [18:08] jb0nd38372: if ntfs/vfat - try installing/running the ntfs-config tool [18:08] I want to play a trailer from apple.com/trailers but firefox tells me "The playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed." Any ideas? [18:08] jb0nd38372, are those drives ext3/4? [18:08] hi there channel :) [18:08] Dr_Willis, it has to do with sharing file system submounts across installations. What might /var be doing that causes apparent package config conflicts when shared? [18:08] dotblank, yes, I formatted both Ext4 [18:08] jb0nd38372, ah there is your problem.. [18:08] does anybody know of a fix for a "No suitable module for running kernel found" when running virtualbox? [18:08] adac: i guess u need flashplayer [18:08] laeg: If you have already tried your own password, and still cannot unlock the keyring, you can delete it using Apps -> Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys... delete all keyrings, then create one named "login" [18:08] thank you,it works [18:08] How Can I specify that my wep Key is in Hex and not in ASCII when I connect with ubuntu? [18:08] uh hey, im running ubuntu server 9.10 and i have problems with mounting a windows server 2008r2 smb as well as nfs shares. it applies to both. i can mount fine and everything works except that filenames (specifically special characters) are borked (example: schreibgeschützt shows up as schreibgeschützt) || mount -t cifs //ip/share /folder/folder -o user=user,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 is the command i use to [18:08] mount [18:09] running hardy [18:09] adac: try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:09] I have problem with my sound card : First, often at boot I don't have sound... Second, I get a lot of that message in my syslog : Dec 7 19:03:46 blackblue kernel: [ 639.831518] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x170503. My sound card is VT1708/A. What should I do ? [18:09] adminewb: var has the apt cache and if shareing var.. i could see that might cause all sorts of problems with the package manager [18:09] Is there an Ekiga or SIP user here? I would like to see if I've set up Ekiga correctly so I would like to write a message to someone or try calling. [18:09] jb0nd38372, you need to mount the drives as nosuid or change the permisions on the entire drive [18:09] jrib: i did run apt-get upgrade. there's no point on pasting to know that, just ask if i used upgrade or dist-upgrade. what i posted in the channel was the only feedback i got. the name of the packages and the message that tey were kept back. everything else was the exact same message you see any other time. reading package list... building depency tree, etc [18:09] is it possible to do videoconference in it [18:09] but it worked [18:09] ooh :( whats the best filesystem to use? i decided to make this machine 100% linux, no more MS [18:09] :) [18:09] hmm [18:09] apocalypt, ok! [18:09] jb0nd38372, ext4 is fine [18:09] it worked for a second now it dosent no more. [18:09] jb0nd38372: depends what you like, ext4 is becoming the standard [18:09] can anyone help with xorg.conf? [18:09] I mean with hardy [18:10] jb0nd38372: for ubuntu 9.10 use ext4 [18:10] lyeeth: Can you do a screenshot or something? Your examples become confusing over IRC. [18:10] jb0nd38372: then use ex3/4 and properly mount th edrives and set the permissions/owndership on the mountpoints/subdirs on the filesystems [18:10] Hilikus: this is clear to the person helping you if you just pastebin; not clear if you break up the information on several lines [18:10] jb0nd38372: if your disks are running ext4 the you need to use the "chown" and "chmod" command to set the permissions [18:10] Dr_Willis, it is not self-evident to me that the purpose of /var would be incompatible with sharing, but I see what you're saying. [18:10] grawity, give me a minute [18:10] thanks guys [18:10] if you dont care about security you could chmod -R 777 /media/drive [18:11] adminewb: var has a lot of other machine specic lock and cache files. Proberly not a good canidate to make 'shared' by other machines [18:11] lyeeth: (IRC tends to have a lot of problems with encodings.) [18:11] ok,. let me see if i understand, i need to change permissions on my /mnt/ for each drive, so that i have ownership and that will give me full r/w access? [18:11] Dr_Willis: is this for multiple installs ? [18:11] jb0nd38372, correct [18:11] grawity: done ty, but now empathy isn't prompting me to import accounts from pidgin [18:11] grawity, well, what i wrote was utf8, and yeah, its supposed to look weird :P [18:11] jb0nd38372, although are you using fstab? [18:11] Dr_Willis, true, but /var/run and /var/lock do not get shared regardless, those appear to be special non-filesystems [18:11] ikonia: i just recall over the years never to set up the network machines to use /etc/ and /var/ from a single server. [18:12] lyeeth: *shrug* I have utf8 too, but. [18:12] dotblank, how can I check to see if i'm using fstab? [18:12] hey guys is it possible to do videoconference under hardy using pidgin [18:12] jb0nd38372, ok then you are not using fstab [18:12] adminewb: id just share home and leave it at that really. [18:12] im not really good with cli... last real experience was the dos 3.3 days [18:12] jb0nd38372, you would know [18:12] Dr_Willis: I was about to say only /boot should be shared, /home in certain situations depending on your distros you're sharing [18:12] Dr_Willis: for multi-distro booting /boot sharing is a must [18:12] No one can help me :/ ? Where should I go for my sound card problem ? [18:12] Dr_Willis, so no sharing of /tmp either, even if the multiple installations never run all at once? [18:13] ikonia: why would you want to share /boot/ :) but I THINK the term 'share' is getting missused a lot here... [18:13] Dr_Willis: so that only one menu file is maintained and only one grub install is maintained [18:13] yo yo yo [18:13] PND: what's wrong? [18:13] adminewb: if using differnt disrtos on the same machine.. I wouldent let them access each others /var/ or /whatever except perhaps for /home and even THEN you may have issues depending on the disrtos [18:13] dury, I have problem with my sound card : First, often at boot I don't have sound... Second, I get a lot of that message in my syslog : Dec 7 19:03:46 blackblue kernel: [ 639.831518] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x170503. My sound card is VT1708/A. What should I do ? [18:13] Dr_Willis: 2 grubs installs = 2 menu.lst on two seperate boot partitions, but grub will only use one and the other OS will update the wrong one [18:13] ikonia, I'm sharing /home among ubuntu builds only, all one architecture [18:14] where can i give suggestions for the future / updates ? [18:14] jb0nd38372, you can alos just change ownership of the drive to you but then you will have problems if any other users try to access it unless you allow r/w for all users [18:14] adminewb: then you should be also sharing /boot in my opinion or your grub maintainence will be very very hard [18:14] can someone with a broadcom 43xx wifi card please pastebin me the output of: sudo lshw -C network thanks [18:14] adminewb: i dont see much point in having diffrent ubuntu builds installed on the same machine really. :) but whatever you want.. heh [18:14] Is there another channel where I should go for having help (maybe this channel is too generic ?) ? [18:14] PND: which ubuntu you are using [18:14] ward-: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [18:14] The very last one (Karmic) [18:14] ward-: blueprints on launchpad, forum posts, and brainstorm. [18:14] ActionParsnip: its less the nan idea [18:14] PND, this is the right channel [18:15] PND: what about the computer hardware [18:15] Dr_Willis, 32 bit and 64 bit are distinct and separate [18:15] PND: This is the right channel - but if no one knows, then posting at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ may help. [18:15] anything come up in the drivers window? [18:15] *hardware drivers [18:15] arand: ActionParsnip well its just a small suggestion to make computers with enabled nvidia drivers run "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" on startup [18:15] sounds like a soundcard issue and maybe alsa related... #alsa should help but they expect you to read their website's faqs and such before asking [18:16] grawity, dotblank, ok, thanks [18:16] ward-: yeah go log it on brainstorm and / or bug report [18:16] adminewb: ive gone all 64bit now on all my machines.. i can only think of a few trivial issues ive had with 64bit. [18:16] ikonia, 32 bit and 64 bit have separate /boot, which may not make the most sense [18:16] adminewb: no - you will have a lot of problems with that [18:16] arand: ActionParsnip if this is not run then color correction is not laded, and possibly other stuff aswell [18:16] ActionParsnip: ok ill take a look === magnet__ is now known as magnet [18:16] dury, the computer hardware is doing fine, it's a chip on my motherboard, lspci says VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] [18:16] Dr_Willis, my lack of 64 bit wifi drivers would not qualify as trivial issues [18:16] ward-: i dont run it and my system is fine [18:16] thank you I did a sudo chown jb0nd38372 /media/Storage1 and returned to bash w/o any errors, and it seems i can write to the drive now. will the change survive reboots or do I need to make it perminate? [18:16] PND: See if upgrading you sound driver solves anything. http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/ubuntu-karmic-upgrade-alsa-to-1021-from.html [18:16] grawity, http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3679/blubber.jpg [18:16] ward-: or just bug report requesting a feature, for wishlist-calssification [18:16] !pm | Balsaq [18:16] Balsaq: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [18:16] Hi, is there a christmas screensaver for ubuntu? [18:16] ActionParsnip: well did you change your color correction? [18:17] jb0nd38372: it's already perminante [18:17] grawity, left is as it should be, right is as it is [18:17] khensthoth, i'm trying, thanks. [18:17] ward-: no i havent [18:17] adminewb: i run wires.. [18:17] <^workman^> adminewb: are you building heavy CPU based apps or something? if not, why not use a VM? for the different ARCH's? [18:17] lyeeth: I have a feeling that it is your terminal with UTF-8 disabled... Is it PuTTY? [18:17] ActionParsnip: how can the colorcorrection not be loaded if you did not change it...... its default..... [18:17] Threetimes: may I pm you for a moment please ? [18:17] PND: And here're some really comprehensive sound solution/guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012 [18:17] adminewb: then why bother with 64bit at all - what are you really gaining by having both? [18:17] grawity, its not the terminal, its the same when i log in at the machine [18:17] grawity, but yeah, its putty [18:17] khensthoth, upgrade done, Should I reboot ? [18:17] ActionParsnip: if i change it, and then reboot the corrections are no longer present [18:18] ok good.. this is not as hard as I had thought.. my friends told me i wuold never get anywhere with linux. Maybe i can prove them wrong. [18:18] ikonia: yes [18:18] ActionParsnip: for them to be loaded i need to run either "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" or without the flag [18:18] PND: I guess your have to search the proper driver [18:18] PND: Yes [18:18] ward-: that'd probably be best of as a bug report I think "This should be the default". [18:18] dury, it used to work fine :/ [18:18] ^workman^, I haven't dug into qemu-kvm, looks too hard to set up [18:18] salve [18:18] ActionParsnip: not a lot of people use this thats probably how the little bug got in [18:18] khensthoth, ok, be right back then. [18:18] PND, oh... [18:18] <^workman^> admineweb: try VirtualBox [18:18] arand: ok thanx [18:18] lyeeth: But still, try this... Ctrl+RightClick on the PuTTY window, choose "Change Settings". Go to Window --> Translation. Enter "UTF-8" as character set. Click Apply. Then run the 'ls' command again. [18:18] Do works the Windows things like example PHONE drivers and anything other to ubuntu ? [18:18] ward-: sounds like the case to me, i'd log it [18:19] K|nG: rephrase that question.. it dident make any sence. [18:19] reboot it as khensthoth said [18:19] ActionParsnip: ok i will after my smoke, dunno my username and pass anymore... lol [18:19] K|nG, ? [18:19] grawity, goddamn [18:19] grawity, i probably fixed it hours ago, i just never saw it :P [18:19] problemi con totem [18:19] Dr_Willis, at some point another way of networking will become available [18:19] Example i have a Samsung phone but the phone havent any Driver for Linux do that work and in linux ? [18:19] K|nG: look into WINE for running windows apps [18:19] grawity, thanks so much, ive been on this a week or so :( [18:19] Any ideas why conky would interfere with displaying desktop icons (and other conky windows? [18:20] K|nG, what is your objective with the phone? [18:20] have any site or anything that help me :D [18:20] lyeeth: And even when you login locally, the GNOME Terminal has a "Character set" menu under Tools. [18:20] well [18:20] ward-: ask in #freenode for password resets [18:20] To transfer file from phone or from PC to phone [18:20] grawity, its server, i dont have a gui :) [18:20] GodfatherofEire: the conky web site/forums/faq detail the proper ways to launch conky to work with gnome. [18:20] K|nG, is this a CDMA or GSM phone? [18:20] ActionParsnip: nono the other thing launchpad [18:20] scuate ce qulcuno che mi puo dare una mano [18:20] back [18:20] may I have support or could anyone drive me please to use yahoo messenging with videoconference [18:20] Dr_Willis, what's the url? === Ome[AWAY] is now known as Ome [18:20] o da poco istalato ubuntu [18:20] lyeeth: Ah. Same applies to the text-mode console though - UTF-8 mode and ANSIsomething mode. [18:20] GodfatherofEire: in short. conky i belive needs to be delayed and launch after gnome loads [18:20] 5.1 [18:20] GodfatherofEire: no idea. im not google. [18:20] thanks khensthoth, dury, it's working fine :) [18:21] GodfatherofEire: http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html [18:21] CDMA :D [18:21] PND: Problem solved? [18:21] I have sound again, I hope it will stay. [18:21] K|nG, no driver needed for file transfer [18:21] im running ubuntu 8.04 and when i try to call someone via skype i get the error 'problem with audio playback' or 'problem with audio capture' [18:21] Ahh Nice [18:21] :D [18:21] khensthoth, sounds like :p [18:21] =O [18:21] PND: Cool. [18:21] Dr_Willis, Ah, I just thought if you seemed to know what the problem was that you might have been familiar with it. My mistake. [18:21] still not workin [18:21] Dr_Willis, the 64 bit setup was intended to confirm that my hardware supports that [18:21] Hi, is there a christmas screensaver for ubuntu? [18:21] trism: thanks [18:21] PND: Bookmark those two forum links I gave you. They are REALLY helpful. [18:21] PND: thanks to khensthoth [18:21] K|nG, it should be just detected as a mass storage device. also if it has bluetooth its even better [18:21] For putty need to upgrade or the laste version have it integrated [18:21] ? [18:21] GodfatherofEire: actually the problem is conky likes to write to the root window and so does nautilus, so you need to give your conky windows their own windows in gnome instead of writing to the root window [18:21] K|nG, What you do need however is a program to transfer over the serial line which is usually done in a program called bitpim [18:21] ward-: however, if it's all done in the binary driver then it might have to be adressed at nvidia, but in this case I guess it could be packaged to do it. [18:21] it like gets to the boot menu then freezes [18:21] khensthoth, it's done :) [18:22] when u press install [18:22] Threetimes: no, not unless one is packaged with xscreensaver or gnome screensaver (which I don't remember seeing) [18:22] Nice :D [18:22] trism, ah, but would that display it as a frame or an actual window? [18:22] arand: nono lol, ubuntu can fix this easily afaik :) [18:22] hello [18:22] <^workman^> adminewb: if you google your hardware and add linux support, you will get tons of info regarding your hardware, and how well it's supported under linux [18:22] Shoot!

[18:27] never mind [18:27] is there a way to reconfigure pam without editing the pam files? [18:27] i know, that's what i've heard. just wanted to know if it has changed since ATI Open sourced [18:27] aeon-ltd, some of the chips are open source and work quite well [18:27] kaeser_, you can set default kernel there, but the actual config file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg [18:27] but i want a Dell and Dell seems to be in bed with ATI [18:27] dury: PPA for adding that application https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa [18:27] especially on laptops.. its like magic [18:27] usser, thks [18:27] kaeser_, its not recommended that you edit grub.cfg directly [18:28] fabio_: isn't there a integrated intel option? [18:28] What should I do so? [18:28] yes. but i intend to dual boot with Windows for games, and play blu ray in full hd. [18:28] so i don't know if intel is powerful enough [18:28] ^workman^, what if it's all custom configured? [18:28] i need interactive network applet just like windows [18:28] also use Blender in Ubuntu [18:28] can anyone help me, when i try to call someone trough skype i get the error 'problem with audio playback', i run ubuntu 8.04. [18:29] can nyone tell me [18:29] fabio_: i was suggesting to buy a nvidia card separatly [18:29] <^workman^> adminewb: as I said, use the model numbers and manufature names for the hardware. [18:29] phpstar, like NetworkManager? [18:29] phpstar: network-manager is part of a standard install [18:29] aeon: i can't really, they are laptops. i dont have the knowledge to replace that plus it would void the warranty [18:29] games and laptops.. :) heh heh... [18:29] so i guess i should just find one with an Nvidia Card? like an ACER? less headaches? [18:29] kaeser_: i guess u should do it in /etc/default/grub.....if u edit the grub.cfg after kernel update u loose all configuration [18:29] yes but just lie windows has beautiful graphical interface is it possible in ubuntu as well [18:29] I love NM now.. I used to hate it.. but now... [18:30] phpstar: yes it has a gui [18:30] fabio_: also what games you want to play - can be a factor. [18:30] ^workman^ well thanks for the help [18:30] <^workman^> adminewb: if your hardware is like 2 days old, bleeding edge, then yes, there might be some compaibility issues, other than that, the linux community has been very fast to get new hardware working [18:30] phpstar, it is awesome and beautiful..

[18:35] enherit: do you want to see them while booting or after? [18:35] Hi, running Jaunty (9.04), starting since a few days ago I'm having problems with GVFS mounts (FTP specifically right now). When I edit files with either Geany or even nano I get the error "Input/output error" and the file is essentially deleted (0 bytes). The only editor that manages to save anything properly is Gedit, but I think that has something to do with the fact that it also supported GNOME VFS. [18:35] kaeser_: either /etc/default/grub or one on /etc/grub.d/* [18:35] Jamed: after [18:35] arooni-mobile, why not just write a script that does that, doesnt have to be alias [18:36] thevishy: theres several companies that sell ubuntu installed laptops [18:36] arooni-mobile, because no, there's no way to do that with alias [18:36] so i just reinstalled karmic from scratch on saturday [18:36] thevishy: but from what ive seen not having windows - dosent save much $$ [18:36] where is system monitor binary file in fily system [18:36] and everything is working fine, except alt-shift-tab doesnt work [18:36] thats cool [18:36] file [18:36] i can alt-tab but not alt-shift-tab [18:36] : well, yes, installed [18:36] hennessy, yea Ive noticed that it sometimes works/ doesnt. the best luck Ive had is with blueman [18:36] whats wrong [18:36] it saves about 50 usd [18:36] enherit: afaik thats not possible, however you can make the messages pause after boot is finished until you hit any key (i know it works, but i dont know how) [18:37] hennessy, does PA report a input device? [18:37] thevishy: http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php has some neat machines [18:37] Hello, I've got a little problem with gstreamer and m4a files, I can play them but the sound is kind of choppy, I've got Ubuntu 9.04 [18:37] I've forget the upgrate-grub [18:37] dah [18:37] it connects, but still cant set the input to alsa-bluetooth [18:37] kaeser_: yep. thats a big change with the change to grub2 :) back to lilo days [18:38] hey guys, I'm trying to install Ubuntu, and as I am most accustomed to Slackware, not being able to simply edit the boot line for the install CD is killing me. My hardware is rather troublesome, and I have to add the parameters "pci=nomsi" and "pci=nopcmcia" for the distro to read my hard drive, however, editing this line in ubuntu has not made any difference, can I get some suggestions? [18:38] ? mirrorlist [18:38] hmm, i'm kind of new... PA? [18:38] are you all using empathy instead of pidgin now? === chaz is now known as Guest78884 [18:38] hennessy, this is kind of hard to troubleshoot over pa [18:38] Guys how to change this? "mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only" [18:38] fluxnuk3r, you can edit the boot line live [18:38] * Dr_Willis dosent use empathy or pidgin :) [18:38] over IRC* [18:38] Nazis on freenode kicked me without reason from there channels!

[18:39] Becauae i can't burn anything [18:39] addisonj, I have added the lines to the boot line, but it doesn't seen to make any difference, adduser fails with error 11 and everything goes downhill from there [18:40] Dr_Willis, nice link [18:40] jusrt starts burnung and not even 1 sec it stops [18:40] *seem [18:40] hello, how do I change the resolution of my ttys to a widescreen aspect?

I clone the image (Ubunto 9.10) from a 40.0 gig hd using the Linux clone program (don't remember the name of it), ever since then Ubunto only recognizes 40.0 gigs not a 250 gigs. Is there a fix for it? BIOS read 250 Gigs. [18:44] hennessy, does PA actually show a new input device [18:44] maco, i thought he set himself on fire and thats where the cd burner stuff came from [18:44] Jamed: I'm on backtrack, what should I google for to figure out what you're doing?

[20:04] Alan502: have you restarted since? [20:04] daftykins: alt+f2 box is part of gnome-panel so if its not running, that wont work [20:04] <^workman^> dare: gdm? [20:04] maco: really? ah ok, could of sworn i did that a bit ago, ah well terminal it is [20:04] ^workman^: to remove services from startup there used to be an admin app called 'services' but removed in karmic [20:04] !info bum | dare [20:04] dare: bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor.

[20:06] if they're both Linux based, why not just tunnel VNC or whatever over SSH? [20:06] daftykins, says. "failed to run-Failed to execute child process "gnome-panel" (No such file or directory)" === DerKlempner_ is now known as DerKlempner [20:07] so you did get the dialogue window up with alt+f2, but you have no apps/places/system top bar or taskbar firefly2 ?

[20:08] firefly2: hmm, do you know if any updates have installed before the crash happened?

[20:09] did anyone have to modify there ftp client (the cli one: /usr/bin/ftp) to use it on ubuntu [20:09] <^workman^> Seveas: does apt-mirror work as well? [20:09] Say I wanted to find my wireless device on lspci, which one would it be? All I can find that's network-related is the ethernet controller, which would be the wired connection, right? [20:09] dAlfa89_: are you diagnosing a non-working one? [20:09] alabd: there is r d_r_-x... [20:09] Alan502: can you ping anything? test through eth0 aswell [20:09] dAlfa89_: pastebin your lspci output and link it here [20:10] ^workman^, probably. Never used it myself but it looks very similar to debmirror [20:10] With update-alternatives how do I list what settings I can change? [20:10] <^workman^> Seveas: cool ok ty. That's what I was going to use =) [20:10] daftykins, it works, I can use iwlist scan and all, but I can't find the device name, pastebinning [20:10] Trizicus, ls -la /etc/alternatives [20:10] anyone knows why 9.10 is karmanic??? [20:10] Alan502: are you connected and no internet or no connection? [20:10] not between "it works" and "it doesnt", daftykins , i had to reset (no clean shutdown) before this happened [20:10] Seveas: Thanks [20:10] dAlfa89_: oh, nothing from "ifconfig -a" ? [20:10] through the eth0 yes, aeon-ltd ; it seems that eth0 is working alright but wlan0 is the only one with trouble [20:10] anyone knows why 9.10 is karmanic??? [20:10] superpaco, the name 'Karmic Koala' was decided by Mark Shuttleworth [20:11] Seveas: This helps me a lot :) [20:11] aeon-ltd, i am connected through the internet, by the wired interface [20:11] Seveas, and what does it means? [20:11] jonz_, if you are connecting with a ftp "active" client, do you have you opened port TCP 20 on the firewall? [20:11] superpaco, a Koala with great Karma :) [20:11] <^workman^> lol [20:11] hooo [20:11] firefly2: ok what i'd try personally, is deleting all .gnome* related folders in your user folder and then restarting [20:11] :) [20:11] thanks === jard is now known as Jard [20:11] any expert w bluetooth? [20:11] any opinion ? [20:11] !anyone | hennessy [20:12] hennessy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:12] alabd, 500 is rx, so that output looks good [20:12] anyone knows how to install xfce using the command line? [20:12] thx daftykins i'll try that - cant get worse anyway :) [20:12] mezquitale: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:12] what's the ubuntu way for setting a CTR+ALT+PLUS/MINUS resolution switch between 1024x600 and 800x600?

[20:13] alabd, no, it shows r-x [20:13] !de | markincius [20:13] markincius: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[20:13] dr-x- Seveas [20:13] that r pertains to dr mean directrory [20:14] alabd, the d is for directoty, r-x is for user can read and execute, --- is for group can't do shit, --- means users can't do anything either [20:14] daftykins, http://pastebin.com/f6f5e0314 [20:14] Seveas: to be sure you can test [20:14] I have noticed that my BIND DNS server is not caching anything.

[20:15] dAlfa89_: looks like the computer you're on is a cheaper one employing a USB wireless controller, try 'lsusb' [20:15] daftykins, I might just be missing something massively obvious, but I was just making sure [20:15] alabd, go read the ls manpage if you don't belueve me. [20:15] can I safely set my own Xorg.conf or do I have to know anything before? [20:15] Seveas: drwxr-xr-x 13 alabd alabd 4096 2009-12-07 23:29 .. [20:15] iwconfig works wonders too for wireless usb stuff [20:15] any other opinion ? [20:15] Good evening everyone [20:15] alabd, that means: d for directory, rwx for read-write-execute and r-x twice for read and execute [20:15] daftykins, aha! I assumed since it's a laptop it'd be on lspci, but nonetheless, thanks ever so much :D [20:15] how can i put Evolution Mail in System Tray? [20:15] :) no problem [20:16] does it show? [20:16] NarbeH: you dont. and its not a tray, its a notification area. it just shows notifications [20:16] hi guys [20:16] daftykins, it does, Realtek, should've just guessed ;D [20:16] maco: when i close it, no notifications are showing. [20:16] =] cool [20:16] Seveas: you are right thanks [20:16] NarbeH: aye, it cant check for mail while closed [20:17] maco: so i want the window closed [20:17] NarbeH: just minimize it, or put it on another workspace [20:17] maco: oh [20:17] maco: btw [20:17] maco: why the sync is very slow? [20:17] I've got a question - I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and occasionally, my Gnome turns to ignore left clicks. After restarting gdm it works as expected again, but that kinda sucks. Does anyone have a solution? [20:17] maco: i mean the speed. [20:17] NarbeH: no idea [20:17] maco: maybe i'm using SSL ? [20:17] good evening everyone [20:18] NarbeH: you could try the mail-notification and mail-notification-evolution packages [20:18] (right clicks still work as expected!) [20:18] NarbeH: i dont know. i dont use gnome, and i dont remember how evolution was, but i did use ssl too [20:18] !pm | hennessy [20:18] hennessy: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

I cannot activate it from the network manager. Althought, the wired connection still works. How do i enable my wireless again?

Reboot to boot into it, then remove the package for the other kernel. [20:22] theicyi nvidia [20:22] Hello.Is JeOs dead or is it just made for LTS versions of Ubuntu?

[20:23] theicyi yes [20:23] theicyi NVIDIA X Server Settings [20:23] Leoneof`: ah, i know CLI only i'm afraid [20:23] Yos, possible reason: filesystem messed up because you unplugged it without unmounting. [20:23] Yos, unmount it and run fsck on it. [20:23] daftykins: oh :( [20:23] SIM_EU: Does the display show up in the Nvidia settings manager?

If I recall, there were two restricted drivers available, and an older one was used by default. Did you try the newer one? [20:26] but i actually don't know what i do when it happens, so how could i provide information on this? [20:26] theicyi where do i see that ? [20:26] hey [20:26] <^workman^> hanosha: click "system->preferences->appearance" then click the tab "visual Effects" [20:27] SIM_EU: System -> Administration - > Hardware drivers [20:28] theicyi only shows version 185(recomended) wich i have installed and then version 173 [20:28] hi, is there a tiny picture viewer? eye of gnome doesnt recognize if a picture file that is opened changes [20:29] hey guys listen: finch is pidgin (libpurple) but text. i want to be able to access the finch running on my computer1 from computer2, and by access i mean that i want to be able to use computer1, type a message, then go to computer2 and have exactly the same terminal screen in front of me, and type message two. i tried it with ssh, but when starting finch on computer2, it starts a COMPLETELY NEW INSTANCE. that's not what i want. any ideas? [20:30] Seveas, if I want to file this problem, what information do I need to include? I really don't know when this problem occurs [20:30] Question - In Dolphin within KDE, I have advanced permissions options, like the ability to set the GID of the folder. Is there anyway I can do that in Nautilus? [20:30] Roasted, without sudo'ing? [20:30] Cube``: you want to be able to chat to someone else using the same program? may i ask why you can't use another solution? [20:30] SIM_EU: Maybe try running sudo nvidia-settings [20:30] Hi :) i was playing with aircrack but now my wireless doesn't work. I cannot activate it from the network manager. Althought, the wired connection still works. How do i enable my wireless again? [20:31] shurakai - dolphin does it without sudoing - I assume nautilus could to... if the option is there. [20:31] Shurakai, exact symptomps, the workaround used, make and model of the hardware, lsusb output (if it's a usb mouse), relevant lines from /var/log/{messages,syslog} and dmesg [20:31] Cube``: You want screen, me think. (or byobu) [20:31] daftykins: no. it's more like vnc what i want, but its all just text, just a terminal, so i dont want any full-blown vnc stuff [20:32] guys where to find can office 2007 [20:32] leaf-sheep: yeah somebody told me screen might be the solution! but what should i type where? [20:32] Cube``: what's the ultimate goal though, what do you want to achieve? [20:32] ronin_: im sure you can buy it in your local computer or office supply shop [20:32] shurakai - I do have to be owner of the folder in dolphin to do it without sudo though. I was just hoping I could integrate advanced options within nautilus. [20:32] ronin_: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx [20:32] ronin_, any decent computer store. [20:32] SIM_EU: another suggestiong would be to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then "sudo nvidia-settings" [20:32] Seveas, looks like I have to format it...how to do that [20:32] Yos, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/yourusbdrivehere [20:33] theicyi didn't work [20:33] Cube``: Mmm. Start a screen by typing screen (or byobu). You will need to learn few screen commands. [20:33] clear [20:33] Yos, make sure you get the devicepath right or you'll wipe something you don't want to wipe :) [20:33] Any kde docks recommended? im looking for something similar to "stardock" in windows [20:33] yes microsoft thanx [20:33] leaf-sheep: ok done [20:33] Seveas, how can I know what is my usb device in /dev ? [20:34] Cube``: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi#learning_screen [20:34] <^workman^> Yos, double check your device with "fdisk -l". look for your USB drive [20:34] SIM_EU: So the screen shows up, but when you enable it and apply, you have no picture? Are you trying twinview mode? [20:34] any know if firefox portable can be installed on Ubuntu 9.10??? [20:34] Yos: "sudo fdisk -l" [20:34] Thanks [20:34] or type mount [20:34] hello [20:34] <^workman^> !hi | hanosha [20:34] leaf-sheep: hmm.. but which exactly is the one i need?

[20:35] Cube``: It is great if you're copying stuffs or format in screen instead of the terminal (or ssh) because if you log out in ssh or close the terminal, the programs close. :( [20:35] superpaco: the "portable apps" are windows only - as far as I know [20:35] Roasted, I don't know, didn't use that feature until now. [20:35] theicyi the screen shows up, i enable and apply and it takes efect on the pc but on the TV is just black like before [20:36] yes it looks like [20:36] :( [20:36] Cube``: byobu is same as screen. It recently renamed itself to byobu to disassociate itself from screen, me think. [20:36] SIM_EU: stupid question, but is the TV set to the correct input? [20:36] Hi folks, Ubuntu newbie here _ downloaded a couple of games via the Synaptic Download manager but they have not appeared in the applications/games folder. Where would they be? [20:36] why people does not think on the biggest open source comunity ??????? [20:36] Cube``: you can do byobu (or screen) -x to attach to an already running session, so if I start screen on computer one, and ssh in from computer two, I can attach to the attached screen with byobu -x [20:36] Cube``: sudo aptitude install byobu ; try "screen" If that does not work, then "byobu" [20:36] magpie, if they are console games they will not appear in there [20:37] trism: how do i attach! [20:37] hey guys how many office 2007 to your country [20:37] theicyi its on the scart and the TV on AV mode, i dont think thats the problem [20:37] <^workman^> trism: don't forget screen -list to find the number =) [20:37] superpaco: you can just download a statically compiled firefox for linux from the firefox website and put it on a flash drive [20:37] Hi Seveas - console games? Would I need an emulator? [20:37] i need some help finding some compiz plugins. can sombody help?

[20:42] how do I determine what package owns a installed file? [20:42] I also guess that... [20:42] osmosis_, dpkg -S /path/to/file [20:42] <^workman^> hanosha: beryl is now compiz-fusion. It's already installed in ubuntu. Go to your Syste->Perferences->Appearance and click the "Visual" tab [20:43] how to get the emerald ?

[20:43] awesoem guys [20:43] Seveas, its a built in wireless card, linux mobile motherboard [20:43] ^workman^ extra ? [20:43] Seveas, sorry not linux, intel [20:43] !netsplit [20:43] <^workman^> hanosha: more options.... [20:43] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [20:43] Seveas - it's called kcheckers [20:44] there is no more option === MK is now known as Guest93284 [20:44] ^workman^ there is no buttom for options === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [20:44] can anyone suggest an easy way to connect to the scanner on my all-in-one printer?

(sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager) after you install it, It sits under System > Preferences, but I'm not sure of the exact menu entry, It should say compiz and settings if I remember properly [20:56] damjanzg, why dont you try .. sudo update-grub and see if it adds any entry for windows [20:56] I will try [20:56] damjanzg, check this URL out for instructions: [20:57] ^workman^, I'm trying to format a thumb drive...no partitions [20:57] damjanzg, http://remmirath-en.blogspot.com/2007/10/linux-how-to-reset-grub-mbr.html [20:57] are there any repositories available with debug enabled kernels?

[21:11] How can I create a device-like file with special behaviors? [21:11] Beezie: wicd can work for one wireless, i want for two wireless [21:11] apocalypt: when I start the install in live mode I get a minimized version of the installer. And when I get to the partition step it is basically no info at all. [21:11] javabean73, As I pretty new here, I do not know how to do that. btw, If it will be working, how could I switch back?

[21:11] Leoneof`, sorry i assumed it could handle two [21:12] ipatrol, depends on the behavior you want. Maybe a FIFO will do, maybe you'll have to write a kernel module :) [21:12] what's a FIFO? [21:12] start the install from CD not from live enviroment [21:12] is there any way to remove all hardlinks to a certain file if I delete one? [21:12] ipatrol, a file that behaves like a pipe [21:12] Beezie: if you know any software can handle two wireless, just let me know please ^_^ [21:12] apocalypt: doesn't matter where I start it from, still shows the same information [21:13] hdtdi: ssh is a tool to remotely login to another system, that commands attempts to connect to the IP on port 2222 and login with the user "hdtdi" [21:13] ipatrol, what is it you want the file to behave like? [21:13] Leoneof`, np im curious myself :) [21:13] apocalypt: but just to do exactly what u say gimmie a minute. [21:13] hdtdi: the error is probably due to the remote server rejecting your authentication [21:13] hdtdi, it means whatever listens on port 2222 there closes the connection before you have authenticated yourself. Are you sure it is an SSHD that is listening there? [21:14] vik, easiest way is to open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with a text-editor and add a line 'blacklist rt73usb' (without quotes) [21:14] Seveas, the deal is that i have vista with virtualbox and i think i was manage to redirect port 2222 from vista to port 22 on ubuntu.. === weq is now known as weq- [21:15] try it weq. start from cd directly the install. at the point partitioning choose manually. look everywhere for the free harddrive. maybe it isn't labled as sda [21:15] javabean73, how should I start using ndiswrapper driver? [21:15] hello, was wondering if anyone can give me insight on why my unbuntu installation is failing. acer aspire m5641 tower. Mouse is not functional during installation (tried 4 different mice) and then I have to click forward but can't. And at that point keyboard seems non-responsive. [21:15] it is the only 2 disks I have in my pc atm. And sdb has the ntfs partitions. [21:16] vik, sorry have no experience with ndiswrapper [21:16] caper, could be a busted CD. [21:16] i've downloaded and burned a few times [21:16] weq-: if it doesn't work try to connect the new HDD to the SATA 1 and the Windows to SATA2 [21:17] I suspect that it might the onboard controller trolling ubuntu installer [21:17] it's a nforce something something chipset. [21:17] <_CommandeR_> caper, do you have usb legancy enabled? [21:17] does anyone know how the transfer speed with bittorrent is determined? (please /msg me, i realize this is offtopic) [21:17] weq yeah the controller could be an issue [21:18] _CommandeR_, usb legacy support is enabled [21:18] weq drives running in single mode? [21:18] javabean73, ok, where should I add a line to that file, It has lots of lines there? [21:18] Say I wanted to create a file called /dev/randbool that upon reading gives an arbritrary number of bites from the program /bin/randbool [21:18] apocalypt: sorry now I remember why I can't see any disks at all. I had enabled nodmraid thingy. [21:18] yeah the disks aren't raided or anything. [21:19] no hw raid. they aren't plugged into the sil3132 controller. [21:19] Hi, I have this notebook, http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archos_10/index.html?country=fr&lang=fr which has an integrated webcam, but I can't get it workin.

[21:19] <_CommandeR_> caper, and still the same, mouse problems etc. Are you sure they work as they should in other OS that its not a hardware problem ? [21:19] But it actually dosn't help me. ANyone can help me please? [21:19] what's a .sock file? [21:19] weq, I didnt see one there [21:19] Tiders, no native vent - push to talk doesn't work with Vent/wine FYI [21:19] vik, I would put it at the end but doesn't really matter. after this you should reboot [21:19] <^workman^> Tiders: try http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php [21:19] weq: where u did u enable that function? [21:19] bios? [21:20] javabean73, thanks [21:20] f6 when the cd asks if I wanna install [21:20] ok [21:20] the mice work fine. win7 is installed on it and mouse works in that and works on other computers. [21:20] now I'm regular install mode no extra thingy [21:20] vik, np :) [21:20] yeah weq that should work [21:20] Leoneof`, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=943269 [21:20] that was a point i missed weq hehehe [21:20] and now it wants me to install to nvidia_bbhehccf 148,7GB striped. [21:20] what's a .sock file? [21:20] <_CommandeR_> caper, does the keyboard when launching the cd from boot? [21:21] ipatrol_, /dev/urandom may be what u need here :) [21:21] I choose manual [21:21] Seveas: The question was hypothetical [21:21] and it sets up my discs as /dev/mapper/nvidia... etc [21:21] Seveas, i got it .. i got the wrong port in the ssh config :) but now i manage to connect thanks [21:21] <_CommandeR_> caper, Does the keyboard work during boot of the cd. * [21:21] _CommandeR_, the keyboard initially works as i'm able to select install ubuntu [21:21] I thought that would it would LVM my disks and use both? [21:21] I just want to make a dev-style file [21:22] <_CommandeR_> caper, does it work smooth etc, no hitches or not responding to keystrokes ? [21:22] or can I safely choose the free space there without it touch the filesystem om /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbhehccf1? [21:22] hey i got d/c'd sry if this is a repeat. non system disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready upon reboot after a fresh ubuntu install. i assume this is related to grub but can't figure out how to fix it. pls help [21:23] <_CommandeR_> caper, go down the menu and check the cd for issues. [21:23] under manually partitioning if there is a free disk u can choose this disk for creating the swap and the ext4 partition [21:23] _CommandeR_, no hitches but really only doing down arrow and enter and such. If I attempt to boot off the cd into the temp ubuntu installation the keyboard and mouse won't work there. But, it's not frozen since clock works and after a min a h/w driver message comes up [21:23] they aren't labeled as disks normally are /dev/sdX etc. [21:23] they are labeled as /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbhehcfX [21:24] but there are two? [21:24] what happens if you try to open /dev/zero ? [21:24] _CommandeR_, going through disc integrity now. [21:25] /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbhehcf is listed as a parent for the nvidia_bbhehcf1,5,6 [21:25] <_CommandeR_> caper, ok [21:25] 1 = windows, 5 ext I selected mounted as /, and 6 as swap. [21:25] trying this just to see what happends. been struggling with this for days now. [21:25] make swap before. i could better [21:26] swap on 5 and ext on 6 [21:26] caper: Does mouse / keyboard fully function when booted from 'LIVE'-cd option? [21:26] I don't understand why ubuntu are so determined to use the /dev/mapper instead of regular /dev/sda [21:26] _CommandeR_, no errors found but it says press any key to reboot and keyboard non functional. [21:26] <_CommandeR_> caper, odd [21:27] wonering how grub will act with the /dev/mapper and /boot etc. === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [21:27] wondering* [21:27] CyberGabber, mouse/keyboard are non functional if I boot to "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" [21:28] caper: try adding the boot option: i8042.reset [21:28] ActionParsnip, hmm how would I go about doing that? [21:28] apocalypt: earlier I tried installed ubuntu striped on my 2x74GB and with the "use the entire disk" option and then grub failed on boot with error 2. [21:29] nm, trying [21:29] !bootoptions | caper [21:29] caper: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:29] if anyone has answer to this id very much appreciate it :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8458162#post8458162 [21:29] are there anyway to disable lvm for the ubuntu 9.10 installer? [21:29] caper: Maybe this could put you in the right direction...http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com/msg98953.html [21:30] grub must be written in first 1024 sectors of a disk i guess [21:30] so why does it insist the raid my discs? I don't have an option to NOT use that. [21:31] weq: is raid enabled in the BIOS? [21:31] weq in bios? [21:31] ActionParsenip adding that option didn't work [21:31] ActionParsnip: no. [21:31] apocalypt: no [21:31] maybe u should use jbod [21:31] there is no hw raidø. [21:31] -ø [21:32] weq just a normal sata controller? [21:32] abit aw8d I think. [21:32] just regular onboard sata controller they are connected to now. [21:32] Does anyone have any information regarding setting higher resolutions of displays than is shown in display prefs ? [21:32] I got 6 sata ports, 4 regular and 2 that are connected to the raid controller. they are not connected to either of the ports. [21:33] weq maybe that is the crux. i guess has issues with onboard controller. maybe [21:33] +Ubuntu [21:33] Schroeder__, have you installed the driver for your graphics card? nvidia / ati / etc... [21:33] so anyone to disable lvm under install? to see if the installer will stop the /dev/mapper crap? [21:33] ZykoticK9: Yes [21:33] weq: maybe its a boot option.... [21:33] just done installing ubuntu now. Let's see after a boot if fucked up the other disk or nothing. [21:34] I don't have any use for lvm at all on this system. [21:34] ZykoticK9: When I try to open my Catalyst Control Center [21:34] As administrative [21:34] weq if grub doesn't see the windows harddrive try update-grub [21:34] It says it can't find it [21:34] I bet grub won't even run proper. [21:35] error 15 on grub. [21:35] hey guys [21:35] weq just a moment [21:35] ZykoticK9: Is it misplaced or something ? [21:35] is there a way to install the netbook ubuntu environment into a normal install? [21:35] menu.lst never got built? [21:35] like with a metapackage? [21:36] Schroeder__, sorry man i'm NO help with ATI (I will ONLY use Nvidia gfx cards) -- i won't even buy another AMD due to their watermarking ATI drivers on older systems (why did AMD have to buy ATI?) [21:36] weq grub2 doesn't have a menu.lst [21:36] blahblah_x: sudo apt-get install netbook-launcher [21:36] it says grub 1.5 in the boot. [21:36] ok [21:36] ActionParsnip: thank you [21:36] grub loading stage1.5 [21:36] Ubuntu 9.10? [21:36] yeah [21:36] ZykoticK9: I understand. I'm angry with ATI's lack of support for Linux. But do you know another way for me to run the contorl centre, by chance ? [21:37] Is there a way in Terminal ? === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [21:37] Ubuntu 9.10 comes with Grub2 [21:37] ActionParsnip: thats it? theres no special packages in the netbook install? [21:37] look for /boot/grub/grub.cfg [21:37] apocalypt, but if you upgrade from 9.04 or earlier, grub will not be upgraded [21:37] apocalypt: I don't lie :( booting into live then. [21:37] blahblah_x: sorry [21:37] Schroeder__, sorry i don't... I haven't used ATI for YEARS (there weren't even Catalyst drivers at the time) [21:37] Seveas: clean install, no upgrade. [21:37] hey guys, i'm looking for a stream directory browser app like streamtuner, do somebody know one? thanks in advance [21:37] No worries. Sigh [21:37] blahblah_x: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix [21:37] yeah Seveas but weq did a clean install [21:38] apocalypt, well then just ignore me :) [21:38] Seveas i would never do this [21:38] :) [21:38] ActionParsnip: and i should do this to ubuntu, not xubuntu? [21:38] weq is your controller listet in ubuntu hardwarelist? [21:38] not sure. need to find the list first then. [21:39] blahblah_x: either is fine, the remix will replace the xfce with the launcher [21:40] so more questions about 4GB -> I have ubuntu 9 x64 installed. Bios sees 4GB, Windows sees 4GB, Ubuntu sees 3.2GB. I have no bios option to remap the memory, so what other options do I have for ubuntu? [21:40] ActionParsnip: so the launcher is gnome. thank you for your help! [21:40] how would you recommend browsing the contents of ubuntu server from a mac? all i can see is samba, but that's for windows [21:41] weq https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [21:41] blahblah_x: np man [21:41] blahblah_x: xubuntu uses gtk like gnome [21:42] it's not listed no. [21:42] ActionParsnip: yup, i know. but they use different librriaes on top of gtk [21:42] Teleken, look in dmesg for clues, use google to expand those clues. I've hear of the problem before and it is fixable.Just don't remember how exactly as I've never seen it personally. [21:42] Nvidia nforce4 sata controller? [21:42] i can use ssh no problem, but i was wondering if there was a gui for it [21:43] hello [21:43] ive added a directory to my path so if im my user the command works, if im root the command works but if i sudo command it can't find it. where else do i need to add the path? [21:43] are default options for mkfs.ext4 ok or any thing I should add? just trying it out for the first time [21:43] apocalypt: it claims to be nvidia atleast not sure it is nforce4 though. [21:43] what would you suggest to do when the bootloader won't boot ubuntu anymore after a failed suspend? [21:43] adam___, sudo always resets the path for security reasons. [21:44] Hi [21:44] Teleken, are you sure you're using 64bit? in a terminal what does "uname -m" output? [21:44] Seveas: oh... [21:44] my mysql wont start [21:44] SliMM, at which point does it give up? === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [21:44] Seveas: when selecting ubuntu from the bootloader menu [21:45] Can someone help me get my resolution from 1440x900 to 1920x1080 ? Please ? [21:45] i get this error http://pastebin.com/m66755f97 [21:45] Even in ATI's menu, it won't go past 1440x900 [21:45] Can someone help me :) [21:45] SliMM, it's probably trying to restore. You can stop it from doing that by booting from a livecd and reformatting your swap partition (where it now stores the suspended system). This will wipe the stored status though, so it'll be like a fresh boot. [21:46] Seveas: I'll try that, thanks [21:46] Can someone help me fix mysql because it isnt working. ? [21:46] this is the error i get http://pastebin.com/m66755f97 [21:47] jagjr: was there another mysql server on this machine before? [21:47] Yes, the mysql was broken so i used sudo apt-get remove mysql* [21:47] jagjr, err, you can't run mysql 5.0 with 5.1 datafiles. You'll have to install 5.1 [21:48] ZykoticK9: yes I'm sure (x86_64) [21:48] my / partition is on ext4 filesystem. I would like to extend it. Is it possible? Because i cant unmount / So i will have to use a live cd correct ? [21:48] how do i sort it out then? [21:48] tazz: Correct [21:49] jagjr, also, more detailed information lives in /var/log/mysql.err, pastebin that [21:49] Teleken, that doesn't make much sense - 3.2 is the max for 32bit (with PAU or PAE or whatever it's called) - my 4G shows completely when i use the "free" command on my 64bit?! [21:49] Flannel, also I have kubuntu 9.04 live cd. And i cant fined partitonmanafer or gparted. [21:49] any other way to do this ? [21:49] Seveas: hmm, it seems that this computer has ubuntu installed with wubi... [21:49] Teleken, s/with/without [21:49] hmm... did zlib get changed in 9.10? [21:49] will kvm still work on a p4? i know it won't have those nifty paravirtualization instructions, but will it work? [21:49] SliMM, ugh ok. [21:50] I can't seem to get it to work [21:50] ZykoticK9: hence why I'm here asking for help :) [21:50] tazz: I don't know if 9.04 will be able to successfully handle ext4, you might want to grab 9.10 [21:50] Ademan, kvm requires the virtualization in chip -- check out qemu or virtualbox [21:50] Seveas , there is nothing in that file [21:51] Seveas: no ideas in this case? [21:51] Flannel, my question is how do i resize my ext4 partition if i cant find gparted or partition manager? [21:51] hi guys [21:51] Ademan, to verify if you have virtu-in-chip you can use "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and for intel you should see vmx if it's present [21:51] tazz: gparted should be on the liveCD, but even if it's not, you can install it. [21:51] ZykoticK9: free-m shows 3135MB; /proc/meminfo shows 3210580KB; uname-m shows x86_64; /proc/cpuinfo shows 36bits physical address space [21:51] i am stuck here, double clicking RosettaStoneVersion3.exe runs fom wine's C drive [21:52] but at the command prompt, wine "C:/RosettaStoneVersion3.exe" [21:52] I'm trying to comile a program, and it keeps telling me "zlib not found" [21:52] jagjr, check other files in /var/log for mysql-ish things [21:52] starts the app, but then says some application error [21:52] SliMM, never having used wubi, no [21:52] what does the && . mean in the following command: "sudo test -f /etc/default/god && . /etc/default/god" ? [21:52] am i using the command correctly? [21:52] Seveas , i have.. nothing there. How do i do a fresh install? [21:52] it starts the app [21:52] but it is installed... zlib1g and zlibc [21:52] Flannel, ok will try that thanks. [21:52] Seveas: ok, thanks [21:52] seveas , of Mysql..... [21:52] holmser: did you try packages ending with -dev? those are required when compiling [21:52] adam___: `command1 && command2` will perform command2 if command1 exits successfully (returning 0) [21:53] ahh [21:53] gotcha [21:53] oh okay [21:53] also... another quick question [21:53] Teleken, just an FYI but my cpuinfo show 40bit physical address space (48 bits virtual)??? no help i understand... [21:53] weq? [21:53] what is the package called that has all of the c/c++ man pages? [21:53] hey... can anyone help me to setup my wireless? im using wicd manager and the connection goes through authentication but gets stuck in Obtaining IP address... this is my output for ifconfig for the wireless: http://pastie.org/732546 [21:53] ok, so, does anyone know what to do if ubuntu (installed with wubi) fails to start after a suspend? [21:53] jagjr, /var/log/syslog should definitely have some info about why it failed to start [21:53] holmser, manpages-dev perhaps? [21:53] Zykotick9: I have Core 2 duo, I suspect you have something more recent [21:54] Teleken, i'm curring AMD X2... not sure that's actually newer... [21:54] Teleken, s/curring/currently using [21:54] Seveas, yes it does.. How would i go about removing all of Mysql and doing a fresh install? [21:55] jagjr, if the data currently in mysql is not important to you, you can simply remove all mysql-related packages, do sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql and reinstall mysql. This will wipe *all* data currently in the database. [21:55] Zykotick: doesn't really matter, as 36bits is fine. and I love your use of s/x/x - you're the only other person I've seen who uses that for casual talk ;) [21:55] hey guys, i'm looking for a stream directory browser app like streamtuner, do somebody know one? thanks in advance [21:55] jagjr: sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql [21:55] Teleken, tsk. you need to hang out with better geeks.

I found some postings related to my thousands of "bio too big device md1" errors (I get since I added a raid0 device as one leg of a raid1) and now I think it's the dm layer that doesn't communicate well with the layers below and above. [22:00] But what does that mean for my data? Is this a performance warning only? Something like "Warning: I'll have to send this chunk of data to the block device again in smaller pieces" or does something really bad happen here? [22:00] allguru, sudo apt-get install python3.1 -- and it will not appear in the applications menu as it is not a gui [22:00] i want an idle . [22:01] like in windows !!! [22:01] allguru: that is in the idle-python3.1 package [22:01] what the command to view my devices? [22:01] hello all i was looking for a little hellp. [22:01] Alan502: lspci /lsusb [22:01] o* [22:02] allguru, but there are better python IDE's as well [22:02] thanks apo_lap [22:02] <^workman^> !ask |BasiumDeJudas [22:02] Seveas :"Couldn't find package python3.1 " [22:02] BasiumDeJudas: 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. :-) [22:02] thanks apocalypt [22:02] i was wondering where i find the pogodynka.sh file [22:02] i'm trying to start a daemon using start-stop-daemon --start --chuid $USER --exec $DAEMON , and this starts the $DAEMON process, but the user for that process keeps getting set to "1003" (though i specify $USER to be "beanstalkd" and the beanstalkd user exists) - any ideas what is happening? [22:02] allguru, ubuntu 9.10? [22:03] Seveas: what IDEs ? , how to install them , what is the terminal script , [22:03] do i need to set windows version as XP in wine while running from command line?

[22:03] Seveas: ubuntu 9.04 [22:03] BasiumDeJudas, www.lmgtfy.com/?q=pogodynka.sh [22:03] allguru, then try python3.0, 9.04 may not have 3.1 yet [22:03] thanks Seveas i will have a looks see. [22:03] !label [22:03] To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [22:04] Seveas: it is DLDing .. [22:04] allguru, you'll also want the idle-python3.0 package if you want idle [22:04] Seveas: does that mean that there will be an IDE ? [22:04] now I just get an error that says "c++ compiler cannot create executable [22:04] s [22:04] " [22:04] but do try spe or geany as well [22:05] what is the best IDE for a begginer . [22:05] netbeans rocks as an ide [22:05] allguru: depends on the language [22:05] Alan502, does it have decent python support? [22:05] maco, python. [22:05] maco: python 3 . [22:05] oh. no idea [22:06] Seveas, it does not have a python support actually [22:06] Seveas, but for java and C++ is awesome [22:06] eclipse with pyclipse maybe? I'm really the wrong person to ask as my IDE is vim :-) [22:06] ooh wait yeah idle [22:06] idle is a nice simple one [22:06] maco, neh, idle is pretty crap. Geany and spe are better [22:06] i was gonna say bluej if for java [22:06] Seveas, hadent looked if netbeans has a python plugin tho [22:06] they say geany is good , right ? [22:06] *shrug* i like bluej because its just a text editor and a compile button and a run button. i like idle for the same reason [22:06] i only tried idle [22:07] but hey, i just use vim [22:07] maco, hehe. I like vim for that reason. !make [22:07] yep! [22:07] or in my case: :!./manage.py runserver [22:07] can i install more than one IDE at the same time [22:08] allguru, of course [22:08] how do you a remove snort when it fails to install?

[22:32] I mean, it IS opening vim.tiny or vim.basic, and not xemacs. [22:33] jtoft you can manually start xemacs from a command line? [22:33] jtoft: u can edit /etc/crontab with every editor [22:33] roygbiv: absolutely. [22:33] i was transfering files from one usb hdd to another usb hdd when the power went off.. now some files are missing but it still seems that the missing files are taking up space.. is there a way to restore the files? [22:34] jtoft i'm not sure how crontab uses the environment so you can try setting $VISUAL to xemacs and see if that works [22:34] roygbiv: I'll try that, thanks for the suggestion [22:35] ajhansen: try to copy all files again. it would be better [22:35] 'ello all [22:35] finally getting ubuntu ^_^ [22:36] Deviant42069, congratulations :) [22:36] apocalypt: oh yeah sorry - the problem wasen't copying - but moving [22:36] thanks :3 i just have to finish downloading the iso, and figure out how to install it to my external hard drive. [22:36] apocalypt: now the files doesn't show on either hdd === c is now known as charitwo [22:36] yea, I think crontab uses EDITOR, but for some reason when I sudo it's using a different one, both my current user and the root user open crontab with xmeacs, but when I sudo it's giving me a peachy vim.tiny with a screenful of errors [22:36] anyone installed wxWidgets on karmic yet? [22:36] ajhansen: thats really bad [22:37] I'm having a hell of a time [22:37] apocalypt: yeah :D i thought so [22:37] i've been all the damn day trying to get my wireless work on linux! does anyone know if there are any bugs with the atheros AR5001 wireless network adapter? [22:37] apocalypt: any chance of retrieving them? [22:38] did u copy these files with nauthilus or terminal? [22:38] apocalypt: was moving them with nautilus.. [22:39] look in the trash [22:39] apocalypt: the trash is empty [22:39] Alan502 does your system recognize the device? [22:39] ~/.trash [22:39] do crtl+h [22:40] in nautilus? [22:40] roygbiv, yes, it gets printed when i run lspci [22:40] may they are hidden [22:40] :| [22:40] oh yeah tried that [22:40] wasen't hidden either === DasEi is now known as alraune [22:40] empty ? [22:40] apocalypt, ~/.local/share/trash nowadays [22:41] empty yeah [22:41] ok Seveas [22:41] :) [22:41] roygbiv, my problem is that i cannot connect to a wireless network. It worked some days ago, but i cannot longer see avaible networks [22:41] jtoft: what does /usr/bin/editor point to? the man page says it will use VISUAL or EDITOR, and if neither is set it will fall back on /usr/bin/editor [22:41] ~/.local/share/trash doesn't excist [22:42] ajhansen, Trash, not trash, sorry [22:42] sigh [22:42] Alan502 yea that almost sounds like a hardware problem to me [22:42] anybody have a way to set up a media server? [22:42] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22854/ [22:42] Seveas: neither excist ;) [22:42] on 9.04? [22:42] Alan502 i don't think there have been any particular problems with that model nic so only things i can think of are mismatch between static/dhcp, password incorrect, SSID incorrect, or hardware [22:42] ajhansen: more difficult [22:42] ajhansen, ah well, then you don't have any trash :-) [22:42] trism: you're the man, pointing to vim tiny, changing the simlink now :) [22:42] ...stuff like that [22:42] hehe [22:43] tidy boy ;) === Laurenceb is now known as arduino_blofeld [22:43] roygbiv, but my problem is that the wireless doesnt work ONLY in linux. It doesnt work in ubuntu or backtrack; it worked with both some days ago. It works just as it should on windows tho. [22:43] jtoft: actually you just should need to do a sudo update-alternatives --config editor [22:43] hmm [22:43] ajhansen: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [22:43] jtoft i would highly recommend NOT changing /usr/bin/editor to xemacs :D [22:43] okay thanks :) [22:44] im basicly pretty scr*wed [22:44] roygbiv, real men use word as editor === alraune is now known as DasEi [22:44] roygbiv, but i cannot even see avaible networks [22:44] of course [22:44] ajhansen: for future copy great files and don't move .:) [22:44] !ping [22:44] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [22:44] !botsnack [22:44] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [22:44] Alan502 well then it's probably not hardware but then maybe some of the other config things i mentioned === arduino_blofeld is now known as Laurenceb [22:45] poor ubottu :( [22:45] Anyone happen to know how I would be able to get a video file or something to be able to be piped to a /dev/video0? [22:46] roygbiv, yes but i cannot even see avaible connections. That eliminates "password incorrect and SSID incorrect" problems from your list [22:46] roygbiv, i dont know about static/dhcp mismatches tho [22:46] Alan502 is your access point broadcasting its SSID/ [22:46] ? [22:47] i need help! i recently installed Cairo Dock and in some way I deleted my "system tray" from the upper panel. how do i restore it? [22:47] d0wn: i guess /dev/video0 is a device like a cam or something like that. if there isn't a memory where u want safe the file? [22:47] may it's a thinking mistake [22:47] roygbiv, yes, i can connect to it from windows on the same computer and i can connect to it from other laptops with windows as well [22:48] apocalypt: well, basically I am looking to get a video file to be able to appear as a webcam, so I can stream video to a friend easily [22:48] benjamin_, rightclick on the panel, select add to panel, select notification area [22:48] roygbiv, It is broadcasting its SSID [22:48] Seveas: thanks! :) [22:49] it had disapeard from the list so i had to search for "noti..." [22:49] OK, So I ran "update-rc.d Auto.bash defaults" But i thought it ran once you logged in, It actully runs on the boot up, But my script is one without end, So i cant get to the login window! [22:49] I'm currently using the ubuntu live cd [22:49] d0wn: i don't how it could work. try an regular program to stream videos [22:49] +know [22:49] I installed Winrar thru WINE, after I installed it took over as the default program for opening rar files, I didn't want that so I changed it thru "open with" it still reverted back to Winrar. So i decided to uninstall Winrar to solve my problem, after I removed winrar Ubuntu still tries using it to open my rar files [22:49] roygbiv, do you have any other ideas? :) [22:49] I've changed the default program 100 times [22:49] How can I remove an init script from the rcS.d dirs? Specifically, I don't want mpd to start on bootup. [22:49] and it still tries using winrar which doesnt even exist [22:50] sorry i don't [22:50] its really frustratingme [22:50] apocalypt: well, I was going to see if anyone knew how to do it, so I could possibly write a program to do it. Basically I was interested in seeing if there was a type of program for Linux like there is for Windows called Manycam, or Webcammax [22:50] roygbiv, sigh thanks for your help anyway :) [22:50] yea, wish i had some better ideas [22:50] rahduke: right click a rar file "open with" choose another program and check for standard program [22:51] apocalypt: lol thats the 1st thing i tried [22:51] i'm not a n00b [22:51] been using ubuntu since 6.04 [22:51] i think i'll be forced to reinstall Royall [22:51] sorry not Royall , roygbiv [22:51] thanks [22:51] there is no option in gconf-editor or in nautilus settings to change this, i'm really freaking out [22:51] i've been using ubuntu since 9.04 [22:52] OK, So I ran "update-rc.d Auto.bash defaults" But i thought it ran once you logged in, It actully runs on the boot up, But my script is one without end, So i cant get to the login window! [22:52] rahduke, linux is tough [22:52] Alan502: i love linux [22:52] whats screwing me is a windows program lol [22:53] rahduke, it really pisses me off that the wireless stops working and nobody knows how to fix it :sigh: [22:53] daftykins, I tried what u said, "del .gnome dirs" but it didnt help (=xubuntu uses xfce) | when I try "applications-settings-panel" (right-mouse-click on desktop) nothing starts up | isnt there a way to just reset the desktop to default? [22:53] rahduke, i like it too, but it is very tough [22:53] stick with it, you will find eventually that it is lightyears better than any windows [22:53] rahduke, but in windows im so sure you would have solved it already [22:54] User-50382 you need to run it in the background, something like /usr/local/bin/myscript& [22:54] I can fix it by completely removing WINE but i don't want to lose all my settings [22:54] Alan502: generally anyhelp you need you can find in this fine room [22:54] anyone here an expert on GDM/Xorg, and know why every once in a while when I log out, the login screen never comes up? Just a blank screen, alt+prntscr+k doesn't work either [22:54] roygbiv: ill try that thanks, Meanwhile know how i can get to the login screen? [22:54] i've been asking all the day [22:54] Is it possible to have /boot on an encrypted volume? [22:54] i've been googling all the day [22:54] whats your problem? [22:55] User-50382 you'll have to start in single user mode, otherwise init will continue to hang on your script [22:55] but get nothing! [22:55] ryanakca, if you use lilo [22:55] roygiv single user mode? [22:55] Hi, I can't seem to get gnome/ubuntu to mount my usb drive. [22:55] I installed Winrar thru WINE, after I installed it took over as the default program for opening rar files, I didn't want that so I changed it thru "open with" it still reverted back to Winrar. So i decided to uninstall Winrar to solve my problem, after I removed winrar Ubuntu still tries using it to open my rar files [22:55] rahduke: did u try to edit /etc/gnome/default.list [22:55] apocalypt: no [22:56] i will try that now [22:56] is there a channel where I might inquire about games for ubuntu? Specifically and good populated fps type games? [22:56] rahduke, my wireless card stopped to work while playing with aircrack, i already removed the package an rebooted. Tried to get my device up with ifconfig but it returns an "unknown error" this has happened other times but it just fixes suddenly [22:56] User-50382 yea, google for it. i'm sure you'll find a ton of docs on it [22:56] e-head_: any error messages? [22:56] vreun roman [22:56] rahduke when you say "open with" you mean in nautilis? [22:56] yes [22:56] i've tried changing the nautilus settigns [22:57] and it doesnt work [22:57] Seveas: Bummer. [22:57] M25: You should look at xorg.log (System>Administration>Log viewer) and look for errors [22:57] have you tried looking through your .nautlilis dir? [22:57] Mike_lifeguard: It actually looks like it detected it fine. [22:57] rahduke: Tried also: RightClick on file > Properties, tab 'Open with', choose 'reset' etc? [22:57] I'm going to try mounting it by hand. [22:57] Mike_lifeguard: did already, I'll pastebin what I get when it happens [22:57] rahduke, and what pisses me off is that it does not work on backtrack or ubuntu; none of them! just windows. But reinstalling ubuntu will solve the problem. I'lll loose my config tho [22:57] But... what sort of magic is involved in having gnome detect/mount it automagically? [22:57] Is it gnome or a kernel module? [22:58] roygbiv: i'm checking gnome default.list right now, I'll try that next [22:58] rahduke: does it work with changing in /etc/gnome/default.list? [22:58] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22854/ [22:58] apocalypt: checking now [22:58] ok i stay quiet lol [22:58] apocalypt: in my default.list the following is listed under rar [22:59] application/x-rar-compressed=file-roller.desktop [22:59] application/x-rar=file-roller.desktop [22:59] i don'tknow if i should change that [22:59] Mike_lifeguard: great, hasn't happened in a while, I'm going to have to re-trigger it [22:59] Lord-Readman, yes, that is under consideration. It's already possible to use bz2 instead of gz [22:59] rahduke: that should be what you want [22:59] rahduke: assuming you wanted to use the archive manager instead of winrar [22:59] trism: what shoudl i change it too to make it use archiver as a default [22:59] yes [22:59] e-head_: probable udev or hal or avahi or something [23:00] rahduke: make a backup and try it [23:00] apocalypt: not sure what to change it to [23:00] e-head_: dunno, does it really matter to you? [23:00] it doesn't name a program [23:00] well, I just want to be able to troubleshoot it in the future maybe. === c is now known as charitwo [23:00] rahduke: did you remove winrar from the Open With tab or just change the default? [23:01] e-head_: not avahi, that does something else :P [23:01] well, I'll google around. ;) [23:01] trism: i completely removed winrar, and all references to it I could find [23:01] trism: it even changed the rar icon from the standard gnome icon to the winrar looking icon [23:01] this is freaking me out [23:02] rahduke: then maybe try to look for ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list [23:02] what do you guys use to format disks with? Is there a gnome/gui way to do it, or should I just use cfdisk or fdisk? [23:02] apocalypt: [Default Applications] [23:02] text/html=chromium-browser.desktop [23:02] thats all that is listed [23:03] e-head_, i use Gparted for all my disk needs. works great! [23:03] rahduke: Did you restart after uninstalling qinrar fron WINE? Check if restart helps... [23:03] CyberGabber: yes [23:04] e-head_ system->admin->disk utility [23:04] apocalypt: i fixed it, thanks your tip helped [23:04] disconnect [23:04] rahduke: in /etc/gnome/default.list try to change it to ark.desktop or what ever the standard zip program in gnome is [23:04] how do I run .jar files? [23:04] rahduke: in /etc/gnome/default.list try to change it to ark.desktop or what ever the standard zip program in gnome is [23:04] i just deleted all winrar references in ~/.local/share/applications/ [23:04] !.jar [23:04] How can I, with VNC, connect and see and modify (move mouse, etc) to the already running desktop of another computer? [23:04] ok [23:05] it worked [23:05] thanks so much [23:05] dn4: java -jar file.jar [23:05] jeez that was a pain [23:05] lol actually it didnt [23:05] np rahduke [23:05] it it only works on some rar files [23:05] you know how they are named like .00 .01 etc etc [23:05] it works on some but not others [23:06] wow I am missing the java command [23:06] *.r01 .r02 etc etc [23:06] rahduke: try 7zip there is a version for ubuntu. its good enough to extract rar [23:06] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-source [23:06] better install java then;) [23:06] i guess [23:06] hey guys - what application do you think linux users are using when they record their screen on youtube videos? [23:06] i give up [23:06] How do I get a drive to auto mount on start up in Ubuntu? ( i have an NTFS partition, my firefox downloades files to that partition) [23:06] ill just have to right click and open with everytime i want to open a rar from now on i guess [23:06] How do I get a drive to auto mount on start up in Ubuntu? ( i have an NTFS partition, my firefox downloades files to that partition) [23:07] sorry for double post* [23:08] try Record My Desktop to record a video of your desktop [23:08] rahduke: under setting there should be menu for standard file association i guess [23:08] Hi, I have a 2-device software RAID1 array built with mdadm (/dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2, both devices work). The /dev/sda disk has localised errors. I have a replacement disk (/dev/sdc) and want to replace the faulty disk. What's the best way to do this? How do I know when the process is complete? [23:08] apocalypt: I've tried that, i think i may have found an actual bug [23:08] VirusTB: set it up in your fstab, /etc/fstab [23:08] maybe I should report it [23:09] phoenixz: If remote PC is on you LAN its quit simple: On the remote PC: Goto System>Peferences>RemoteDesktop. On the PC where you want to control the remote one, use Applications>Internet>Remote Desktop Viewer [23:09] Does anyone here play WoW on Ubuntu? [23:09] I recently did an apt-get upgrade which must have included some xorg packages, and now X crashes randomly every few minutes (intel hardware) - how do I begin diagnosing such a problem? [23:09] youngman: same model/size ? [23:09] @dn4: me [23:10] hi all, i'm having a big problem, i'm trying to install 9.10 and i get after installation while booting, "Gave up waiting for root device. ....", can anyone help me, i can give more specifications [23:10] logankoester: /var/log/syslog, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:10] apocalypt: i think the issues is that each .rar file is named differently (.r01 .r02 etc etc) and each one of them is being recognized as different file types [23:11] rahduke: that sucks [23:11] jtoft, how do i do that [23:11] DasEi, yes [23:11] logankoester: how long ago the last update was ? [23:11] DasEi, different model, same exact size, same exact partition size. [23:11] apocalypt: yea it does some of these rar archives have over 100 rar parts, id have to change each one manually.... I don't think I'm ever going to do that [23:11] youngman: have got a live cd ? [23:11] DasEi, I doubt I'd need one. [23:12] rahduke: what happens if u open program first and start to extract beginning with rar [23:12] DasEi: 2 days ago [23:12] VirusTB: Google about your fstab, a couple lines from me isn't going to be of much use :) Plus, learning is good for you [23:12] DasEi: it was a large upgrade, probably a couple months worth of packages [23:12] I have connected sdcard reader with sdcard in it, it shows up in lsusb [23:12] how to moun tit [23:12] it should automatically take the r0x files [23:12] logankoester: did you try to boot safemode > netroot for dhcp, then dpkg-repair.. ? [23:13] DasEi: I did not, how is dhcp involved? [23:13] youngman: hm, I though of an identical copy via dd, different model.. I'm not sure about blkids on raid atm [23:13] I am very tight on diskspace on my / partition. I plan to resize it, but meanwhile, I noticed that I have several kernel packages that take up a fair bit of space. Can I remove the earlier kernel versions safely? [23:13] logankoester: is just to ge inet for the update [23:13] get* [23:14] jtoft, i dont want to learn from my mistakes! i messed up my Grub last time on Ubuntu 9.04 and just did a clean reinstall of 9/10 :( [23:14] DasEi: I'm online just fine (without X) [23:14] Hi everyone: Is there any way to see what files are currently being written to by active processes? I'm looking for a log file [23:15] I'm in Brazil, but speak English. The google searchbar in the upper right corner of firefox always searches google.com.br instead of google.com or google.ca. I want to change this without changing my whole system's setup so that the clock will remain accurate (Brazilian time) & I'll get updates from nearby servers. I just want to search english google. How? [23:15] azanoth, lsof [23:15] VirusTB: just don't delete anything, if your fstab fails to load a -new- drive it's usually a trivial fix (deleting the values you added) to get back up on your feet [23:15] youngman: Great. Thanks! [23:15] DasEi: nothing in my path called "dpkg-repair"... [23:15] puff: i use to remove old kernel packages, worked for me [23:15] azanoth: lsof will show files in use [23:15] VirusTB: it's not really complex, how about you read through it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [23:16] logankoester: the two thingys are choices from the safemode (no x involved) menu [23:16] puff: but consider using a bigger partition you get bad performance on a device this full because of defragmentation [23:16] logankoester:from desk (trml) can do : sudo init 1 (logs you out) to go there [23:16] jtoft, thanks for the URL, but im reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [23:17] how do I list computers and ip adresses from lan network in terminal? [23:17] <_akahige_> I have this crazy problem where Karmic refuses to properly open the correct file on a network share. for instance a 10 minute 40 Mb video from PBS is opening as a 20 second video of which I had previously viewed (like it's reading a cache somewhere). it opens fine from multiple windows machines, so I know it's not the file. had the same thing happen the other day with a PDF. anybody see anything like this before? [23:17] klappi: Yeah, I plan to resize the partition, but meanwhile I have like 5MB free. [23:17] i need help [23:17] DasEi: okay, I'll try that [23:17] DasEi: just a second.. (thanks, by the way) [23:17] What is the most common way to filter lsof? [23:17] im installing ubuntu netbook remix on my macbook on a partition as we speak, and its hanging at "installing language packs" [23:17] puff: in my lange we say "i press my thumbs for you" [23:17] I have connected sdcard reader with sdcard in it, it shows up in lsusb [23:17] how to mount it? [23:18] youngman: was it a raid 1 setup ? [23:18] hives: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22854/ [23:18] how do i use grep in a folder excepting a subfolder from search? [23:18] can i just hard shutdown, and it will be completley installed? [23:18] klappi: I have five kernel packages, linux-image-2.6.7-7-generic, -9-generic, -11-generic, -14-generic, and -15-generic [23:18] hello [23:19] DasEi: okay, dpkg repair is installing a whole mess of stuff... some of it xserver and intel related... [23:19] can someone tell me what's the idea behind recovery mode if it starts Xorg anyway? [23:19] my install is hanging at 95%, at "installing language packs" [23:19] hey guys... just noticed on karmic..and actually on lucid as well... that I cant use the same commands I did last week to change the gdm theme .. they done seem to work and ..what I mean is ctrl+alt+F1..login...sxport DISPLAY=:0.0..then sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center...then alt+F7 [23:19] I did upgrade to karmic, xorg isn't working and I can't switch to text console [23:19] puff: you can remove the old ones if you wish [23:19] hello? [23:19] logankoester: I give a candle, now cross fingers ;-) [23:20] :) [23:20] klappi, ActionParsnip: Thanks. [23:20] my install of ubuntu netbook remix is hanging at 95% done "installing language packs" [23:20] luist: grep -v does inverse... if you're looking for all except one: try the following, grep yourgrep | grep -v "textyouwanttoexclude" [23:20] DasEi: does the fact that dpkg repair is installing stuff mean that the upgrade did in fact fail in some way? [23:21] gislan: crtl+alt+F1 doesn't work? [23:21] puff: dont remove the current kernel [23:21] how do I list computers and ip adresses from lan network in terminal? [23:21] DasEi: like, can i rule out the problem being caused by the new versions of software? [23:21] jtoft, i want to search in ./* but not in ./debug for example [23:21] if i do a force shutdown at 95% installed, will it still run? [23:21] hi all, i'm having a big problem, i'm trying to install 9.10 and i get after installation while booting, "Gave up waiting for root device. ....", can anyone help me, i can give more specifications [23:21] !dualboot [23:21] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:22] fluffy_: let it bake, it takes a while [23:22] logankoester: not in fact, but some packages are often held back with gdm active which seldom can cause this [23:22] its been like 30 minutes [23:22] youngman: was it a raid 1 setup ? [23:22] ActionParsnip: I assume that's the most recent? Apt is giving me warnings about linux-restricted-modules-etc, version numbers match the kernel numbers, I guess the libs depend on the kernels. [23:22] DasEi: ahh okay, that makes sense [23:22] themill: It's chugging along... [23:22] ActionParsnip: does lang pack install take more than 30 minutes? [23:23] I know it's subjective but what's the best dock application for ubuntu.. preferrably one that plays nice with compiz [23:23] fluffy_: it can [23:23] is it possible to change the behavior of passwd so that it doesn't ask for the old password? [23:23] DasEi, yes - and still is [23:23] puff: no, the one you are running. you can se it with: uname -a [23:23] ActionParsnip: That is, a) is it safe to assume that the highest version number, -15, is the most recent and is also the current kernel, [23:23] youngman: http://tinyurl.com/2eennm [23:23] ActionParsnip: okay, thanks. ill leave it another 30 minutes and come back. [23:24] ActionParsnip: AH, yeah, that's -15. [23:24] bye [23:24] or, even better, is it possible to change the behavior of passwd so that for my new users, they can enter in new passwords without being prompted for old ones once? [23:24] ActionParsnip: and b) apt is warning me that removing the old kernels will break the linux-restricted-modules packages that have the same version numbers; is it safe to just remove them? [23:24] how do I list computers and ip adresses from lan network in terminal? [23:25] tobiasz: look into nmap [23:25] hi guys, im getting this error when trying to boot: minimal bash-like line editing is supported [23:25] how do i resolve this [23:25] tobiasz: Terminal? Install console-based web browser and access your router configuration. :) [23:25] !ati [23:25] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:25] is there a way to get Firefox BACK button to work with Backspace? instead of ALT+LEFT ? [23:26] zerq, I have Avant and compiz working together ok === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [23:26] puff: you can remove the currently none running kernels, you will also need to remove the kernel modules as they will be redundant [23:26] DasEi, Hmm. Thanks. I was hoping to find a way that was more resilient to possible physical errors on the other disk. [23:26] Colonel_Panik: i've read Avant and Cairo are the best as far as compositing goes, going to check them both out I think [23:26] DasEi, As things are, the unfailed disk becomes a SPOF. [23:26] leaf-sheep what do I need router configuration for? :P I want a terminal script which will return network computer's names and ip's [23:27] !ping [23:27] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [23:27] VirusTB: look up what browser.backspace_action does in about:config I imagine [23:27] tobiasz: Look into nmap as ActionParsnip say, then tell me how you do it. >_> [23:27] DasEi, I'll just do it in the opposite order. [23:27] I used to be able to make the font big in pidgin by unchecking 'use font from theme' [23:27] that option recently vanished [23:27] I see in the pidgin changelog: [23:27] youngman: you can try a 1:1 hardclone with dd, which is much simpler, but I'm not sure about uuids on different models [23:27] Removed the "Use font from theme" and "Conversation Font" preferences for everyone except Windows users. The font can be controlled from the Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin. [23:27] assmonger: ? got an answer? [23:28] where can I get this theme control plugin [23:28] ? [23:28] dooglus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:28] dooglus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:28] DasEi, I don't think that is a good idea. [23:28] dooglus: It is in Pidgin Plugins. Toggle on. [23:28] dooglus: you may getjoy with carrier, it puts back a lot of the functionality the pidgin devs took out [23:28] apocalypt: i guess passwd -d works [23:28] ActionParsnip: is it a fork? [23:28] hello [23:28] dooglus: indeed it is exactly that [23:28] ActionParsnip: What kind of functionality? [23:28] ActionParsnip: Cool. [23:28] then they can log in via SSH key and change the password [23:28] assmonger: if not try start in command mode, type in passwd yourusername, type in your new password, restart in normal mode, [23:29] dooglus: the devs listen to the users so email them with functionality suggestions ;) [23:29] hi guys, im getting this error when trying to boot: minimal bash-like line editing is supported [23:29] ActionParsnip: Thanks. [23:29] leaf-sheep: resizing the text input window, using the protocol icon in the buddy list instead of just a green blob [23:29] ActionParsnip: I think it's a general problem though, programs getting dumbed down to look like windows crap [23:29] DCC SEND "BADOOOOPADOOOOOOOOOPPP" 0 0 0 [23:29] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [23:30] youngman: which sizes are the disks ? [23:30] dooglus: thats what carrier is moving away from [23:30] !info carrier [23:30] Package carrier does not exist in karmic [23:30] ActionParsnip: I've been told that it's unwise to use binaries that aren't in the repo [23:31] dooglus: its not on the repos, theres a 32bit deb, 64bit must be compiled.I told the guys to make a 64bit deb for karmic [23:31] leaf-sheep the manual is tooooo long I don't bother reading lol [23:31] ActionParsnip: that's how viruses and stuff spread [23:31] DasEi, the physical disks are 1T. The RAID1 partition is about 600G. [23:31] jrib, and cange the 2 to 1 ?? (browser.backspace_action) [23:31] dooglus: linux doesnt have so many virus' [23:31] VirusTB: I don't know, did you look up what the numbers mean? [23:31] youngman: alright, so time is a factor not just trying dd, i c [23:31] ActionParsnip: no, because most people use the repos [23:31] dooglus: ppa's are a good way to get later versions than are in the official repos [23:31] /msg ubottu exploit [23:31] if we start downloading random stuff from the web like windows users, then we're just as open to virus infection as windows is [23:32] how to format card reader in linux [23:32] sd card [23:32] youngman: maybe check your fstab to get a plan, sudo blkid shows the uuids of all connected disks [23:32] dooglus: it's still hard for a virus to spread amongst linux machines but what you are saying is 100% correct and I'm not sure anything can be done to stop it [23:33] dooglus: http://sourceforge.net/projects/funpidgin/files/carrier/2.6.1/ [23:33] mun24: does fdisk -l find it ? [23:33] sudo* [23:33] yes [23:33] sdb1 [23:33] leaf-sheep there was some smbsomething [23:33] command [23:33] now I need to format it [23:33] dooglus, correct me if I'm wrong, but linux's resistance to virii isn't based on using the repositories or downloading random stuff [23:33] !av | dooglus [23:33] dooglus: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:33] mun24: use gparted then, have the disk NOT mounted [23:33] !sudo [23:33] jrib, is there a dedicated site to Firfox's About:Config ?? [23:33] 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) [23:34] tobiasz: If you're living in the small LAN area, I imagine it won't be long to access the router site to find attached devices. [23:34] VirusTB: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action [23:34] I am not using windows version of linux [23:34] !who | mun24 [23:34] mun24: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:34] can I repair my ubuntu witht he livecd without loosing data? [23:34] dooglus, The main reason of why linux is so hard to infect is because it's impossible to run things without the users' permission and there's no way to actually hide things, you can always find the problematic program or code [23:34] DasEi: I am not using desktop version of linux [23:34] mun24: but which version ? [23:34] cause im getting the absh command line error [23:35] mun24: headless ? [23:35] jrib, thank you verry much [23:35] VirusTB: no problem [23:35] can use mumble [23:35] hello i have an amilo laptop and after 9.10 upgrada i cant make wireless work [23:35] sean is gonna host one [23:35] any solution> [23:35] i guess linux resistance to virus comes from working with non-executeable files [23:35] oh whoops [23:35] wrong chat lol [23:35] I have a secondary hard drive. If I click on it it places I'm required to enter my password. Is there any way I can change permissions to skip this? [23:35] VirusTB: teach a man to fish and all that [23:35] dooglus, saying that you need to use the repositories in order to keep your system virus free goes 100% against the freedom of open source [23:36] guys? [23:36] apocalypt: more like not giving full access to any file it runs [23:36] alazyworkaholic: sure, fstab [23:36] apocalypt, everything in /bin and /usr/bin is executable [23:36] dooglus: to understand why windows is virus-prone, read: http://philosecurity.org/2009/01/12/interview-with-an-adware-author [23:36] giorgos: run: sudo lshw -C network | grep product websearch for that line [23:37] alazyworkaholic: open a terminal .. [23:37] ActionParsnip: it produces product: AR2413 802.11bg NIC [23:37] product: RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ [23:37] For some reason Pidgin suddenly claims that "Our protocol is not supported by the server". Any particular reason this randomly appears? [23:37] DasEi: cool! details? I don't know how to mess around with fstab without doing more harm than good. Is there a gui, or is it just rtfm? (if rtfm, please, just which manual & where?) [23:38] Hi, does anyone know what's wrong with the ubuntu sort version?, I'm trying to do this, $ ls -al | sort -n +4 and I get "sort: open failed: +4: No such file or directory" [23:38] Ecfc13: the is chance to loose data pleas make a backup [23:38] alazyworkaholic: It's not much, just follow my advice, you'll see.. [23:38] alazyworkaholic: open a terminal .. [23:38] giorgos: then websearch that, you will find guides [23:38] Klappi: I cant [23:38] I cant even boot [23:38] alazyworkaholic: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:38] oooh i found out... im getting this error: QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for how do i match my signal function? [23:38] Ecfc13: yes we can [23:38] DasEi: done [23:39] jrib, I done know how to fish, can u tach me how to do that in Ubntu? [23:39] i tryn to connect wirelessly to my windows printer-when i search for printer i get a window says make sure the samba service is marked trusted in me firewall--i dont have a firewall so how i get thru this? [23:39] alazyworkaholic: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:39] dont** [23:39] Im listening [23:39] dooglus: Money-quote: Basically, the semantics of Create Remote Thread are: You're a process, I'm a different process. I call you and say "Hey! I have this bit of code. I'd really like it if you'd run this." You'd say, "Sure," because you're a process Windowsyou're all hippie-like and free love. Windows processes, by the way, are insanely promiscuous. [23:39] VirusTB: alt-f2, then type "free the fish" [23:39] alazyworkaholic: pastebinit /etc/fstab ,give resulting url here [23:39] Ecfc13: you are online so you have bootet into something [23:39] Im on my pc.. lol. [23:39] alazyworkaholic: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ,url .. [23:40] My notebook wont boot.

[23:41] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f54e9066c This is the sudo fdisk -l one. [23:41] After upgrading to ubuntu 9.10 my display frezzes. Any ideas to stop it from freezing? Sites that might help? [23:41] Mac ppc G5, Installed Ubuntu 9.1 on external hd. Can't connect to internet wirelessly. Have to connect ethernet to router. Found a fix on the forums for this problem but it doesn't work for my system. [23:41] alazyworkaholic: so the 40 gb is the one you want to add ? [23:41] It would have been nice to know that having selinux installed would cause my upgrade to karmic to crash and burn. [23:41] That's right [23:42] mbrigdan: bugs.ubuntu.com (if you installed selinux through the repositories) [23:42] alazyworkaholic: have you already set a mountpoint for it ? [23:42] any voters http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22854/ ? [23:43] DasEi: not manually. I could just click on it in places, & it would automatically make one. [23:43] mbrigdan: jrib means bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs [23:43] alazyworkaholic: well, let's set one : sudo mkdir /media/40GB [23:43] jrib: I did install through the repositories, but at this point, I just want my upgrade to complete (about 800-900 packages haven't been upgraded) Do you know how I can get around the pr-remove script so that the upgrade works? [23:43] Klappi: ?? [23:44] alazyworkaholic: sudo chown -R alazyworkaholic /media/40GB , putting your actual username in o' course [23:44] Ok, sudo mkdir /media/Windows [23:44] done [23:44] mbrigdan: edit it, but usually you should read and understand why it is failing first. Check for an open bug, as they usually have workarounds that have been peer-reviewed to some extent [23:44] alazyworkaholic: windows or 40GB ? [23:45] Ecfc13, if you cann boot a repair linux, you might also be able to boot some life linux and make a backup before repair [23:45] http://pastebin.com/d622cb38 i need to replace button turning with the mouse, but i dont see how, as all i could find didnt work. (lol i accidentally closed pidgin) [23:45] DasEi, I'll call it Windows (for the missus, she's a slow adopter) [23:45] alazyworkaholic: well, let's set one : sudo mkdir /media/Windows [23:45] alazyworkaholic: sudo chown -R alazyworkaholic /media/Windows , putting your actual username in o' course [23:46] it goes straight to the bash command line for grub [23:46] DasEi: but about the chown thing, can I have userA & userB both be able to access it without passwords? [23:46] alazyworkaholic: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [23:46] alazyworkaholic: yes [23:46] alazyworkaholic, Jolie is a fast adopter === gregory is now known as Guest98068 [23:47] DasEi: I'm there. [23:47] klappi: huh? Jolie? [23:48] Ecfc13, download some life linux cd or usb stick version and make backups if youre afraid of loosing data, just an advice [23:48] alazyworkaholic: you can create a group with both users and root then give the group ownership to that group [23:48] Klappi: Can you just help me with that error? [23:48] alazyworkaholic: (fstab) add a line : /dev/sdb1 /media/Windows ntfs user,uto,exec,rw 0 0 [23:48] alazyworkaholic: (fstab) add a line : /dev/sdb1 /media/Windows ntfs user,auto,exec,rw 0 0 [23:49] jrib, :P i lost my fish :( thanks for the shortcut [23:49] Hi. I plugged in my cellphone and lsusb detects it as Bus004, Device 002. Where is that under /dev ? Thanks. [23:49] alazyworkaholic: finish fstab with a blank line (just hit enter), save it , close gedit [23:50] Satzo: run: sudo fdisk -l [23:50] DasEi: Ok, done that. [23:50] alazyworkaholic: sudo mount -a [23:50] Satzo: you will see a partition, mount it [23:51] alazyworkaholi: there you are; additional user chmod +rw to give access (man chmod) to rtfm see: [23:51] !fstab [23:51] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

Thanks a lot. Now, if you know how to do this you're really smart (& generous ;-)) Windows is hibernated right now, can I set up fstab to mount the partition read only if it isn't able to open it rw?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:54] alazyworkaholic: you could, but there is always a risk then, better shutdown windows and leave it that way then [23:54] ActionParsnip: Thank you. [23:55] ok, sorry [23:56] how can i don't update a package? [23:56] DasEi: what's the risk? I just ran mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/Windows and I'm looking through files without any problems. How can I do that?
