I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 while dual booting to Win XP.... and I've had the damndest time tryin to trouble shoot problems... one of which being Java [00:15] Jamed. for practical purposes, is USB=built-in memory card reader? [00:15] Quan-Time: ok. i'll check the bios [00:15] Quan-Time, erUSUL: in /proc/mounts is this a list of all partitions/devices mounted? for eg. it says 'none /sys sysfs rw, nosuid, nodev, noexec 0 0' [00:15] Phuzion: have you checked so its not out of date? [00:15] yellowrooster: there is a usb port, every netbook has at least one [00:16] Jamed, i think you're misunderstanding. i would like to boot up from a built-in memory card reader. What does USB have to do with it? [00:16] Archilles: cat /proc/mounts that lists everything [00:16] yellowrooster: most people boot from usb drives. Many usbdrives take memory card media [00:16] Mewses.... checked to see what isn't out of date? I just installed the OS and the Java... everything is clean install and up to date [00:16] if your bios recognizes the card reader as a bootable device then you're fine [00:17] yellowrooster: er... you want to use a flash device to boot from it? [00:17] sedd, why are you talking about USB drives? [00:17] Phuzion: i've been afk for the last 15 minutes, is your firefox freezing?

I solved my firefox/java issue (I think) I'm having problems holding a wireless connection... however I seem to only be getting the problem when playing spades in yahoo... then my connection drops and after time I can't see any wireless signals within range [00:18] so i was invited to Google Wave. This seems like an awesome collaborative tool for devs or any other groups. I have invites for anyone interested [00:18] jamed, oh know. But I know what I can do!!! I can put the SD card into a USB Memory Card reader. [00:18] yellowrooster: follow the instructions to make a bootable usb disk, but apply them to your memory card. At boot up, look for some option, Delete or F12 or something, to boot from your memory card reader. If not, then find a USB memory card reader or just a usb drive. They are a dime a dozen [00:18] hi [00:18] maybe my netbook's bios will allow booting from USB. I should check it now. [00:18] yellowrooster: that should work [00:19] Quan-Time: okay [00:19] Phuzion: Ok. [00:19] !grub2 [00:19] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[00:57] ZykotickK9:/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro), and /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [00:57] is 41 gigs enough space for my ubuntu filesystem? [00:57] turtle_: more than enough [00:57] Helsinkiii, in a terminal "cd /media/disk" then "ls -a" and see if there is .Trash [00:58] oh shit! [00:58] is says "Files" [00:58] that's where all my files are [00:58] turtle_, I'm running a few partitions on 40 gigs right here... [00:58] Helsinkiii: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:58] ZykoticK9:ls: cannot access Files: Input/output error...."Files" [00:58] 'lo all [00:59] you want to replace the whole 11 page or just layer your signature in it? [00:59] not trying anything ZykoticK9 .. i have used OSS on ubuntu for the past 4 years, need to know if support for it is going away, because Alsa/pulseaudio seems to be primary? [00:59] Can I make a drive mount on startup in Karmic? [00:59] how can i force marking a filesystem as clean? i need to remove a ext3 journal and it won't do it unless fs is clean... i found where debugfs can mark it dirty.. need opposite [00:59] Helsinkiii, that's NOT good news.... not sure what to suggest - hopefully someone else has some input [00:59] I'm going to have to break out the LaTeX to sign a pdf and send it back? that's hard to believe [00:59] hey how to restart the x server? [01:00] Kamokow: yes, add its uuid and mount point to /etc/fstab [01:00] bastidrazor: thanks :) [01:00] what do you all recommend for backing up?? I use back in time, It backs up great, but when restoring the GUI freezes up. looking for an alternative... [01:00] Anacranom, OSS is very old and was replaced with ALSA years ago, now Ubuntu uses Pulse... [01:00] hmm .. [01:00] what is the command to look in a folder for a file containing a word [01:00] redouane: log out then back in or in a terminal type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [01:00] redouane, /etc/init/gdm stop -> /etc/init/gdm start (assuming you are using gnome) [01:00] sabat - you want grep [01:01] thx [01:01] sabat - assuming they are text files... otherwise, you want strings and then pipe output to grep [01:01] switch10_: unison plays nice [01:01] DasEi1: thanks I'll check it out === Jamed is now known as Guest94527 [01:02] ZykoticK9, the old oss kernel code from the 90's has nothing to do with the latest code from opensound.com [01:02] does anyone have any ideas ,, i'm about to puke [01:03] Helsinkiii, what is the issue? [01:03] Anacranom, I know that OpenSolaris certainly uses OSS and gets quite good audio, I'm really not sure what the current support on Ubuntu is like -- best of luck man. [01:04] can any OP tell me if there is support for OSS here? or is it only pulse-audio issues? [01:04] Helsinkiii, in a terminal type "dmesg" and see if you see a bunch of I/O errors listed [01:04] id10t: it says input/output error on my internal, secondary HD [01:05] Anacranom, this channel only supports Ubuntu related items - see if there is an OSS channel to ask your question(s) in === Guest11373 is now known as Piet [01:05] id10t: i tried copying my data from there to my main HD one day, said certain files couldn't be moved, clicked ok. files weren't moved at all [01:05] skyl, what distro and gimp are you using - mine seems to let me do that no prob .. [01:05] rebooted, everything was gone, but it still sees my main "Files" folder in there [01:05] Hi, I am trying to connect to my broadband connection in ubuntu 9.10. I have set up a DSL connection, have selected Automatic PPOe and have entered the coorect uname/pwd in the settings. Still no luck. Any ideas of whats going wrong? [01:05] Afaik oss is ubuntu related since it works in ubuntu at the driver level [01:05] but when i try to access it i get input/output error [01:05] Helsinkiii, try copying from command line - but i/o errors usually indicate death or near death [01:05] riverbird, karmic defaults [01:05] I reckon the ati questions would get booted too? [01:06] hrm, I have hit a bump upgrading jaunty -> karmic [01:06] id10t: i did notice my HD getting slower, the days before this happened [01:06] I cannot boot, because the drives never mount [01:06] any ideas where to start? [01:06] id10t: is there ANYTHING i can do. i have papers due that are on here [01:06] skyl, i opened a 30 pg pdf from the gimp menu - it asked me to select a page to import for editing [01:07] ZykoticK9, what??? this has EVERTHING to do with #ubuntu! if this channel and OS is only going to support Alsa/Pulseaudio-- and NOT OSS, then i need to know!!!!! [01:07] Could someone recommend a command line audio client that can read a .pls that contains url streams? Obviously, mplayer fails. Totem is too heavy and has lots of delay/lockups when dealing with streaming mp3 [01:07] say I had some .avi files within directories within a directory called movies, and I wanted to mv just the .avi files to another location, like this: mv *.avi /media/drive/videos, what flags should I put in?? [01:07] Helsinkiii, a forensics tool may be able to pull one or two files off... [01:07] from there i can layer in an image of a signature, then resave the page [01:07] ubuntu grub2 problem windows 7 open now [01:07] Helsinkiii, or depending on what the issue is, some time in the freezer (w/ plastic bag to keep moisture off) [01:07] riverbird, and then save to pdf? [01:07] xeer: have you tried mpg123?? [01:08] Anacranom: maybe the nvidia questions have nothing to do with ubuntu either [01:08] skyl, select print, then to pdf [01:08] HI [01:09] true,,, adm1 but the envy ones do??? when i first joined here, if you even mentioned "envy" they were threatening to kick you [01:10] I have a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] and cannot get the 3d effects to work, what do I need to install to fix this? [01:10] <_CommandeR_> is there a way to restore gnome-panels to default ? [01:10] Anacranom: Envy has come a long way to be a reasonable utility. It's certainly not the top choice, but if you have to do drivers that way, it's gotten better. [01:11] Anacranom, what I'm hearing so far is that gnome is removing all support for any mixers except for pulseaudio [01:11] Anacranom, didn't hear that on this channel tho [01:12] riverbird, I think I found a totally stupid and annoying way to do it .. by converting all the pages to jpg and then using imagemagick [01:12] Flannel, i agree, however, #1 it embeds itself way too deep,and #2 it really isn't needed with propper support [01:13] does anyone know how to downgrade mlt? [01:13] how do i get out of a sudo password prompt? ctrl+c or ctrl+d don't seem to work [01:13] Anacranom: Unfortunately we can't do much about #2, as that's mostly at the whims of the hardware manufacturers. [01:13] ganymede, hit enter [01:13] I am about to upgrade my hardware processor (Athalon 32 bit) and motherboard to get access to virtualization with a new AMD Athalon 64. I want to just put the hard drive into the new machine. I will use the same video card. I am pretty sure that will work since the 32 bit architecture is available in the 64 bit version of the AMD Athalon 64. What is the best way to get Ubuntu to update... [01:13] ...to the 64 bit version... and can anyone see any issues I may face (first time updating hardware in a Linux environment) [01:13] Out_Cold, but that generates failed password entries in auth.log [01:13] ganymede, yes... yes it does [01:14] envy bricked my system. luckily I'm not a noob. [01:14] marc_: you could try the radeon drivers [01:14] Bonsoir! [01:14] Out_Cold, is there a way to drop out of a sudo prompt without generating failure entries in auth.log? [01:14] switch10_: [mpg123.c:942] error: Initial seek failed: Error reading the stream. (code 18) [01:14] i'm getting "...:in `require': no such file to load -- soap/wsdlDriver (LoadError)" [01:14] skyl@SCSI40:~/Desktop/PDF$ convert *.jpg outfilename.pdf ... Segmentation fault haha [01:14] how do i install soap stuff in ruby1.9? [01:14] ctrl + c worked wen i just tested it [01:15] rodgerr: if you go 32 > 64 bit , you need a fresh install === beruchtigte is now known as cece1 [01:15] DasE: I was afraid of that! [01:16] Flannel, just today i installed 9.10 on a 2010 platform (HP-pre-release-hardware) with latest ati gfx, and 0 drivers, i was able via cli to get it up and going JUST fine and play sauerbraten (its in the repos) with 125-150 fps... [01:16] xeer: trying that now [01:16] Y'a t il des personnes qui parlent francais?? [01:16] maybe i should rephrase my question. is there a way to CANCEL a sudo command at the password prompt? (without generating a line in auth.log) [01:17] when is the ubuntu xchat package beeing updated? [01:17] riverbird, your method only gives me that one page that I edited [01:18] hi [01:18] hi [01:18] skyl, true. [01:18] rodgerr:so have you got a backup medium ? consider creating a seperate /home, so next time can save thet work [01:19] I have the page I want inserted scanned [01:19] skyl, i thought you only needed to edit the one page .. [01:19] and btw Flannel .. we write bugzillas constantly on pulseaudio, from affecting power-management to dis-abling other hardware (like modems) [01:19] I only need to edit the one page but then I want to put it back together in the complete document [01:19] gotcha [01:19] I guess I should have gone straight for latex ... [01:20] that's crazy though [01:20] ubuntu grub2 fuck [01:20] dont know it [01:20] format [01:20] ubuntu [01:20] Haak: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:20] I have all of the pages as single images ... [01:20] grub2 pöff [01:20] 30 pc remove ubuntu [01:20] Haak : need support ? [01:20] and you want to string them into one .pdf? i see now [01:20] !ot [01:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:21] en [01:21] anyone here work with SPICE? [01:21] i wonder if open office could do that as a presentation or something? [01:22] Flannel, as far as envy is concerned,, trying to get rid of it once you realize you dont need it, is as hard as removing malware/spyware/adware in windows. (thats a period!) [01:22] DasEi1: grub2 windows 7add happens [01:22] Anacranom: That's the nature of things not installed via the package manager. [01:23] What the heck is Envy anyway? [01:24] spice is a protocol like rdp/ica [01:24] so, Flannel is there no support for audio on ubuntu if the user has chosen OSS? thats the original question i am asking? [01:24] skyl, you could probably do that in gimp, you would have to keep resizing the canvas to fit the 20 pages or whatever, then save it as one image, like a banner [01:25] skyl, another pain in the arse way of doing something .. [01:25] How do I windows 7 ubuntu grub2 [01:25] I'm just going to hack pdflatex (hopefully) [01:26] seems incredibly asinine [01:26] yup yup [01:26] I need to install latex on this machine anyways [01:26] I'm beginning to get quite agitated surprisingly ... [01:27] at least the scanner worked out of the box .. I had no idea my trouble would be here [01:27] skyl, sorry .. lol -- not funny! === cece_ is now known as cece0804 [01:28] Hello [01:29] May someone help me partition my harddrive. I seem to keep messing up. [01:29] ? [01:29] Fireking300, what's the problem? [01:30] Fireking300: open a trml ... [01:30] id10t: windows says NETLDR missing [01:30] Okay i open Gparted and it doesn't let me resize/move it is greyed out [01:30] Fireking300: sudo apt-get install pastebinit === Jamed is now known as Guest33316 [01:30] id10t:when i tried attaching the HD ther [01:30] Helsinkiii: NTLDR? [01:30] Fireking300: partis mussn't be mounted [01:31] Fireking300: sudo gparted [01:31] Fireking300: sudo fdisk -l | paaaaaaaaaaaastebinit [01:31] DASEi1: I can save all my material to my Wife's machine over our network - but I will have to reinstall specific software - a pain but able to do it - just thought the Ubuntu would notice the change and install required updates... [01:32] oops, Fireking300: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinitt [01:32] oops, Fireking300: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [01:32] rodgerr: you can do a dist upgrade, but why do you want to change to 64 bit at all ? [01:33] Sun Virtual box [01:33] rodgerr: can do also in 32 [01:33] AMD 32 does not have the virtual calls.... [01:34] Old althalon I [01:34] rodgerr: it's just the cpu that supports it or not, both 32 abd 64 [01:34] Ahhhh [01:34] Flannel, please feel free to PM if needed, or if i am out of line by asking. [01:34] thought I would have to go to the new 64s to get the calls [01:35] rodgerr: so a socket a athlon ? [01:35] have to take my old machine apart ot find out the socket type [01:35] is it allowed to ask port forwarding questions here? [01:35] I don't think 32 or 64 makes a difference until the 8086 instruction set gets revamped. [01:35] could just update the processor in it [01:35] preecher: are you using ubuntu? [01:35] i am [01:35] 9.10 [01:35] rodgerr: nah, is it running any os at this time ? [01:36] which ? [01:36] preecher: then it might be ok [01:36] preecher: just go ahea and ask [01:36] *ahead [01:36] Anacranom: I don't know much about audio, so I'm certianly not the one to ask. this seems to be less of a support question, more of a general disussion though. If it is, #ubuntu-offtopic would be better. If I'm misunderstanding it as non-support, this is obviously the channel :) [01:36] DasEi1: Ubuntu - it is what I am taking to you on [01:36] l* , ic [01:36] rodgerr: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit [01:37] rodgerr: hwinfo -vv | pastebinit [01:37] give url here [01:37] okay back [01:37] http://pastebin.com/f7f3060c8 [01:37] dasei1: this machine freezes and is a little flacky - when it ran Windoz XP it rebooted all the time - I'll give that a try [01:37] my problem seems to be--i have one IP from my bellsouth modem which from my understanding is my external IP and after my DSL router connects to the modem i have a different IP which i take to be the internal IP--so when setting up port forwarding which IP do i use? [01:37] preecher: the internal one [01:38] preecher: does it start with 192.168 ? [01:38] k, Fireking300, and you want to resize your linux-partition ? [01:38] yes my internal starts with 192.168 [01:38] yes [01:38] preecher: then it should be safe [01:38] Flannel, do you remember what the question was? [01:38] lstarnes, thx-) [01:39] Fireking300: you need a live cd for that, or another os or an usb to do so, not from the running system [01:39] i found the sound fix [01:39] :) [01:39] Okay I will install Parted Magic on flash drive. [01:39] Fireking300: also you will have to change fstab and grub [01:40] Ill be back soon as I am in a Live CD. Then you can help me? [01:40] if anyone needs the fix for hd audio [01:41] i know how to fix the cracking and buzzing sounds in game play [01:41] Flannel, if I need support on an audio issue in a ubuntu supported release, am i only going to get support if i am using alsa/pulseaudio? [01:41] i uninstalled pluseaudio [01:41] and borrowed the sound files from 9.04 [01:42] hi. i can take pictures with my web camera with programs like camorama and kamoso but when i try to test video call in skype.. i have this green screen and basically its not working i am using ubuntu 9.10 and i have logitech web camera [01:42] and just used the alsa and not the pulse audio [01:42] :) [01:42] i got a link if u want it [01:42] that i went by to fix it [01:42] Anacranom, that question about support is not allowed to be a support question. [01:42] Anacranom: No, thats fine to ask here. [01:43] Anacranom u want the fix [01:43] Can someone help me, please? [01:43] Flannel, well that was the original question that you referred him to offtopic for [01:43] i can give u the link [01:43] lstarnes, for the record it works like a new shiny toy-) thanks again [01:43] pulseaudio sucks with Hd audio cards [01:44] adm1: I said I wasn't sure if it was offtopic. I'm only half here, and from what he pinged me with, it sounded like a discussion about Audio on linux, and not a support question. Like I said, I wasn't sure if it were offtopic or not. [01:44] EoL{s}: ? [01:44] I just installed ubuntu along with the proprietary drivers for my broadcom wi-fi card. It shows up in ifconfig, but does not connect. [01:44] Flannel, shouldn't you examine the actual question before classifying the question? [01:44] (the wireless device shows up as eth1 in ifconfig) [01:44] here is the link [01:44] http://n2.nabble.com/Re-Ubuntu-s-switch-to-pulseaudio-broke-accessibility-for-the-blind-td3886061.html#a3886061 [01:45] hello having an issue with my ubuntu net connection [01:45] EoL{s}: do you have an ipaddress? [01:45] peace [01:45] can't connect to my router and get net access. here's a pastebin of various outputs off ifconfig, resolv.conf and iptables [01:45] http://pastebin.com/m413541fd [01:45] I have windows on my machine aswell and I can mount the ntfs partions and read data from it but I haven't tried to write data to ntfs (if something bad would happend) is it safe/possible? [01:45] anyone see anything wrong? [01:46] deeperror: The wireless device doesn't seem to even be trying to connect, so it's not acquiring an IP address. [01:46] adm1: The question he asked could've gone either way, which is why I presented him the statement and let him determine which channel it would be best suited for. [01:47] mrqismrx: ntfs support is fine [01:47] hdtdi: sudo LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype [01:47] EoL{s}: system - pref - network connections [01:47] DasEi1, ok cool thanks =) [01:47] maybe you need to configure your wpa or wep keys [01:48] deeperror: I've already done so. [01:48] are you wired now? [01:48] No. [01:49] I am on another computer. [01:49] Flannel, my original question was- "can any OP tell me if there is support for OSS here? or is it only pulse-audio issues?" since alsa and pulse are one... [01:49] EoL{s}: try from term 'sudo dhclient' [01:49] see what happens [01:50] Sometime I am using a VPN and everytime I do that I need to add some things to /etc/resolv.conf but if I reboot the computer then resolv.conf is reseted and I have to add two nameservers to it each time I want to use my vpn. Is there a way to make this fix permanent? I heard something about a gui app resolvconf or something? [01:50] When I boot ubuntu up after upgrades, now GRUB has: [ubuntu] [ubuntu recovery] [ubuntu] [ubuntu recovery] [memtest] [win 7]. However I was told modifying the new version of menu.lst (whatever its called now, i forget). Will actually ruin the boot. Any way I can configure what gets displayed? [01:50] dasei1: am unable to get the log file to create tried --v --log log name, but it will not make the log and won't put an empty file to pastebinit [01:50] Anacranom: OSS is in the repositories, so of course. [01:51] epinky, thank you soooooooooo much.. but now a question should i use this command everytime i start skype or its alreade preloaded ? or whatever this command do [01:51] navs: Machine should be getting DHCP address? [01:51] Kamokow: try 'chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf' [01:51] deeperror: "No DHCPOFFERS" received" and "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." === DasEi is now known as alraune [01:52] Kamokow: and if you need to edit it use 'chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf' [01:52] Anacranom, evidently the question that never went anywhere was actually going somewhere. [01:52] deeperror: Ok, thanks :) [01:52] Flannel, and i worded it that way, the "...any OP..." because this is not the same channel i once enjoyed, many non-experienced ppl giving bad advice here now- unchecked [01:53] deeperror: Okay, so when I try either +i or -i, it just prompts me for commands again :-/ [01:53] EoL{s}, lspci -v [01:53] hdtdi: it should be fixed by now, however you should make sure that v4l2convert.so has right permission: "sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" [01:53] EoL{s}, find the 'network 'controller' .. [01:53] If, after running apt-get upgrade, I'm told there's a list of 12 packages that were not upgraded, is there any way to either force these packages to upgrade (so they don't continually appear in my upgrade list) or tell Ubuntu to stop listing them for upgrade? [01:53] Kamokow: yea it changed attributes on the file [01:54] deeperror: oh okay :P [01:54] riverbird: Found it. [01:54] broadcom bcm43?? [01:54] Yeah. [01:54] But my card isn't supported by BCM43xx yet. [01:54] lol,,, sauerbraten is in the repos,,, i doubt support is given for that nor should it be Flannel [01:54] you can see them by typing lsattr [01:55] epinky, yes but when i stop skype and start it from Applications > internet > skype and test again the cammer - again the green screen [01:55] what is the number? 43?? [01:55] 14e4:4315 [01:55] Anacranom: It is. This may not be the best channel for support, but it's supported here. [01:55] what do i do about this? bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) [01:55] is it for an 'n' network? [01:56] 'n' network? [01:56] hdtdi: mmm, hard to say, I use Webcamstudio and it worked that way :( [01:57] what is saurbraten? sounds like some kind of german sausage [01:57] arghh2d2: it is a first person shooter game [01:57] Kamokow: ok, thanks [01:58] EoL{s}, yup. i see. (just wondering if it was an n card - b, g, n wireless) [01:58] hey all [01:58] EoL{s}, is this for a laptop? [01:58] riverbird: Yes. [01:58] i need some advice, i've been googling around and reading up on server tech, and need some help [01:59] riverbird: It's an Acer Extensa 4420 if that helps any. [01:59] EoL{s}, when i have wireless issues, i keep an old pcmcia card around. my d-link gwl-650 works nicely [02:00] i have tried to use apache2 with all the conf files and stuff and found my head can't wrap around it, also the fact i guess i am a little lazy and just dislike server tech [02:00] my computer freezes after running for a short time, what's wrong? [02:00] cool with me and thank you, Flannel you have my support and if i have issues in the future with OSS and ubuntu supported release i will refer to this, i plan on installing the upcomming LTS the moment its released on this box and my servers (this is my gaming box) as i only do LTS on servers and my game box, all my laptops have the current 9.10 and i hope that i am not turned away if i use OSS instead of alsa/pulseaudio [02:00] you may have trouble with your bcm chip, as its not supported yet - maybe someone has got a workaround going .. ?? [02:00] and i'm wondering if anyone could suggest something like rapache but that works [02:00] hi there [02:01] also how do you get ubuntu one to work [02:01] :S it keeps saying mis match [02:01] I found a solution for those who want to keep their settings but don't want to reinstall everything on every computer they use [02:01] riverbird: I've looked quite a bit. Haven't found anything, unfortunately. [02:01] DasEi1: did a simple hwinfo and piped it over to http://pastebin.com/f444b2de2 [02:01] Installing the proprietary drivers is the closest I've gotten.

[02:02] DasEi1: what are you looking for - I piped it to more also, so I could look at it [02:02] EoL{s}, have you enabled the proprietary drivers? [02:02] Yes. [02:02] EoL{s}, confirm the b43 files in /lib/firmware? [02:03] epinky: oh sorry, about which the apache thing, or ubuntu one? [02:03] EoL{s}, confirm fwcutter in packages? [02:03] shadowmancer: "if anyone could suggest something like rapache but that works" [02:03] 嘿嘿。有没有中国人啊 [02:04] !cn | liukai [02:04] liukai: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:04] oh my apologies >.< [02:04] Does anyone want to know the solution I have for the problem of not being able to keep your favorite settings and stuff on every computer you use? [02:04] my brains not in it today [02:04] riverbird: fwcutter isn't enabled because it conflits with the proprietary drivers and isn't supported for my card. [02:04] hmm .. === dryg is now known as DryGrain [02:05] mnaines: Perhaps you can do a write-up on the wiki for that? [02:05] rodgerr: I was just looking for the type of cpu, how much ram do you plan to use ? [02:05] hi there, i'm new to ubuntu. i installed 9.10 into VMWare and while the resolution changes when i select full screen I can't seem to figure out how to change the resolution at which it first boots up. there doesn't seem to be an xorg.conf file [02:05] ardchoille: Because its already written up [02:05] mnaines: Ah, ok [02:06] ardchoille: Its even on Ubuntu's own website...All you gotta do is create a persistent Live setup [02:06] Hello! How can I get libgtk1.2 installed in Karmic Koala? [02:06] riverbird: Is there a way to check if a module is active? [02:06] crawler: synaptic ? [02:06] Helloz. [02:06] shadowmancer: one good alternative to apache is lighttpd: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lighttpd%2BPHP [02:06] tgnb: what graphics card do you use? [02:06] DasEi1: RAM?? I thought it used a specific amount of disk space? I only have two gigs on this machine [02:06] i noticed i can change the resolution once logged into the system as a user to something i specify, but how do i change the default resolution of the gdm login screen to be the same? [02:06] alright well to put it in a nutshell, i have tried learning how to use apache2 through commandline but for the moments don't really want to spend all my time fiddling with it, so i'm looking for a way to control an apache2 server on a local machine via a gui [02:07] DasEi1: it is a KV7-V(VIA KT600-8237)' [02:07] Doesn't lsmod show loaded modules? [02:07] deeperror: it's not there. maybe i need to add a repository? [02:07] DasEi1: phoenix mother board [02:07] Younder, i have a nvidia graphics card but ubuntu is installed a vmware virtual machine [02:07] !hcl [02:07] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:07] rapache is a program on the repository that controls apache via a gui, although it freezes and therefore isn't useful [02:07] Hey, I don't mean to intrude, but I just installed Ubuntu, and it is set up with the standard gnome, karmic koala. It's on an Acer Aspire One, so how exactly do I set up Ubuntu Netbook Remix (the display manager) [02:07] ardchoille: Create a Live CD, then configure a USB flash drive for persistent changes...Boot from the CD and make sure the flash drive is plugged in...That setup can be used on any computer and all your settings and stuff will be the same...Directions are on the Wiki - search for Ubuntu Live Persistence [02:07] rodgerr: so socket a, unless you install more than 3 gig of ram, 32bit will do the job fine [02:08] mnaines: I clone my systems. But thanks for the info [02:08] DasEi1: I have space for one more gig of memory [02:08] Younder, to clarify, i dont have a problem "selecting" a specific resolution once i'm logged in.. but i would like to set a higher default resolution for when the system first boots up, if that makes any sense [02:08] ardchoille: This setup means you don't have to clone...Useful if you want to use public computers at cybercafes or libraries and stuff [02:09] I have same problem as tgnb... [02:09] djanatyn-gleki, the package ubuntu-netbook-remix ? [02:09] DasEi1: So you are proposing an ALL software virtualization? rather than the CPU calls?? [02:09] crawler: system - admin - software sources [02:09] Okay, well, how do you load ubuntu-netbook-remix up? [02:09] I have it installed. [02:09] Is it a WM? [02:09] tgnb: not really, but it's doable [02:09] I really don't know how to start it up. [02:09] djanatyn-gleki, did you install the regular ubuntu? [02:10] Yes. [02:10] deeperror: ok, thanks..it seem i need to add jaunty repo: http://www.rabbnix.com/vb/showthread.php?t=979 === root is now known as Guest92738 [02:10] should be selectable in the login session window then djanatyn-gleki [02:10] EoL{s}, what does iwconfig look like? [02:10] huy guys [02:10] Oddly enough, if I create a new user, resolution is maxed when I log in to that account. [02:10] Okay, thanks. [02:10] Awesome! [02:10] what's the best alternative for MS oneNote in ubuntu? [02:10] good morning [02:10] rodgerr: so stay with 32, which version are you running now ? [02:10] tgnb: are you thinking of a custom splash scren, or at the login prompt? [02:10] EoL{s}, my guess nothing there [02:10] crawler: nice! [02:10] i.e. note taking. concept diagrams, etc [02:11] !equivalents | Hilikus you can look here [02:11] Hilikus you can look here: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant - Try also joining #ubuntu-bots and asking BestBot [02:11] 13 page pdf, I want to exchange page 11 for another image/pdf and save to a new 13 page pdf [02:11] Younder: All he's saying is that the login prompt is not set at the right resolution [02:11] deeperror: heh, thx for the push xD [02:11] riverbird: IEEE 802.11 Nickname: "" [02:11] younder: nevermind, kill me. [02:11] riverbird: Access Point: Not-Associated [02:11] For eth2 [02:11] The wireless device. [02:11] DasEi1: I tried Wine which did not work and looked at Crossover - which did not look promising - so I decided to give virtualization a try - THOUGHT I had to upgrade to a CPU with calls to get it done [02:11] i have a bunch of JPG images off my camera.. on my 'puter.. is there a way to do a "batch" resize instead of opeing each one with gimp ? [02:12] Younder, ok in windows i have 1900x1200 resolution. when i power on the vmware machine ubuntu starts and the resolution is 800x600 i can then login. now once logged in i can do two things. i can either set the virtual machine to "fullscreen" which automatically changes the resolution of ubuntu to 1900x1200, or i can go into "system>preference>display" and select one of the other resolutions available [02:12] like.. resize all in this folder to X size ? [02:12] DasEi1: anm currently not running any virtual amchine [02:12] touchpad and keyboard doesn't work neither in GDM/KDM nor after logging [02:12] hello, anyone experience the hissing sound when trying to record voice? [02:12] Quan-Time: could use imagemagick [02:12] Quan-Time: look at the "convert -resize" command, it's part of imagemagick [02:12] Younder all that is great but, what i'd like is that when i first power the virtual machine on, and ubuntu boots, that the resolution doesnt start out at 800x600 for the GDM login screen [02:13] this is karmic [02:13] keyboard and touchpad work well in my other partition with hardy [02:13] EoL{s}, yup, you just don't have the hardware communicating yet .. if your chip is still unsupported, you may have to find another device [02:14] ? [02:14] Quan-Time: and use *.jpg to select all .jpg's in the directory [02:14] Quan-Time: here's a tutorial http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/ [02:14] liukai, #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [02:14] liukai, /join #ubuntu-cn [02:14] thank you [02:14] tgnb: well it is the job of gbm to do the boot part. It is currently managed by upstart, not the sysv-init so to have to look at /etc/init/gdm.conf [02:14] hmm [02:14] !version | rodgerr [02:14] rodgerr: 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 » [02:15] how does the new resolv.conf work? [02:15] EoL{s}, a pc card or usb wifi might be the way. if you want to really get into, you could replace the chip itself inside you machine. [02:15] 如何进去啊 [02:16] liukai, /join #ubuntu-cn [02:16] Younder, i just checked that file it doesn't say anything about resolution, the only thing i can see is a reference to the xorg.conf file, which doesn't even exists [02:17] tgnb, it sais XORGCONFIG=/etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:17] does atheros AR242x work with wpa in jaunty ? [02:17] DasEi1: Oh - which version of Ubuntu : Karmic 9.10 vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic === twinsen is now known as twinsenx [02:18] Younder, yes, but that file doesn't exist.. in fact there is no xorg.conf file at all.. i belive with the new version of X this is normal since its driven by hal now if i'm not completely mistaken [02:18] Is there a command I can use to tell my computer to boot off my cd drive on reboot since I can't get into the BIOS to set it that way? [02:19] Hello folks! [02:19] star: look harder in your bios [02:19] or look for another "boot options" fkey on boot [02:19] Sorry for interrupting but what would desktop policykit have to do with making a recovery DVD? [02:19] I can't get into it in the first place :s [02:19] boot options is what I have [02:19] DasEi1: and a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2900+ [02:20] I have to hold an "Fn" key and press like F1 or F2 at the same time [02:20] EoL{s}, lshw -C network ?? [02:20] but it never works [02:21] starwind: don't reboot do shutdown then do a cold start [02:21] shadowmancer: did you try GAdminHTTPd? [02:21] everytime? [02:22] guess I'll try that then, wish me luck D: [02:22] starwind: when you do the Fn key combo to get into BIOS and look for boot settings; set cdrom as first boot device then hdd [02:22] tgnb, well I'm reading it. It is generated by dexconf which in turn reads the values from the debconf database [02:22] epinky: can't say i have [02:22] EoL{s}, see if this helps .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1351444&page=2 [02:22] k, thanks (: [02:23] Younder, i'm new do ubuntu and have no idea what dexconf nor debconf are :( i'll search i guess to find out more info [02:23] epinky: i'll look into it [02:23] shadowmancer: ok, good luck :) [02:24] epinky: thanks :) [02:24] tgnb, basically they read it from the package manager [02:25] riverbird: (For the forum thread) Should I disable the driver I've already got first? [02:25] Actually, nevermind. I think I have to.

[02:38] riverbird: No, but thanks, though. :) [02:38] Where it'll mark SCSI hds as IDE and you'll lose all data. [02:38] b0nn: Well, If you have no answers, it is because nobody has one for you.

[02:52] no [02:52] Evening. I like the idea of the character map, but I wonder if there is a way to just...type some of the characters. Is there anything similar to...well, I guess, U+XXXX where X is a hex number that I can use to type? [02:52] why would you want to do that [02:52] binMonkey: yes [02:52] cant you set the mount point as /home ?? [02:52] binMonkey, quite advisable in fact! [02:53] to access files from both os's? [02:53] DasEi2, is that option provided during the install? [02:53] Wolfman2000: Ctrl+Shift+U, then type the code. [02:53] binMonkey: yes, you got to choose manual partition [02:53] i don't know how to set mount points. [02:53] binMonkey, you will have to manually set up your partitions, but it is still advisable [02:53] wgrant: I think this will be useful. Thanks! [02:53] binMonkey: why not use vbox or something [02:54] greezmunkey, thanks. it's a pretty simple process, then? [02:54] binMonkey, it's not bad, and you have pleanty of time to get it right before you commit the changes to your HDD. [02:54] I want to setup an Ubuntu server, but the server edition iso is almost 700mb. Would it be the same as if I used a minimal desktop iso, or does the server edition run some kind of hardened kernel that I would be missing out on? [02:54] pretty simple, you could just install root on 1 partition, home on another, and you will also need a swap [02:54] antlong, i want the windows part just for chess programs and other games. i'm going to make ubuntu the largest part. [02:55] binMonkey: use vbox [02:55] binMonkey, http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_partition [02:55] binMonkey: you set the whole space for ubuntu, and then seperate /(root) , least ~10 GB , better 20 or more, swap, Rest /home [02:55] Hello [02:55] since not all get the Vista Installation disk with their PC, is there any way to fix non-booting Vista without the disk? [02:55] Wow quite a lot of ubuntu users here [02:55] Hello z3rongod [02:55] 1330 [02:55] users [02:55] syockit: with a floppy or usb [02:55] riverbird, thanks! [02:55] binMonkey, double your ram for swap size as a rule of thumb [02:55] syockit: #windows [02:55] antlong: of what software [02:55] on the windows channel there are just 330 [02:55] I just went from knoppix to parted magic and now i'm at ubuntu [02:56] syockit: theres a file you can dl from microsoft [02:56] DasEi2: ok will go there [02:56] syockit: maybe #windows would be better, no [02:56] what command should i use to find the size of a directory and it's sub directories, du doesn't work because i have filesystem level compression [02:56] greezmunkey, thanks. [02:56] antlong: something like BCD? [02:56] syockit, all you would really need it for is to rebuild the MBR, right? [02:56] My goal is to use dd_rescue GNU and linux to recover data from a broken IDE hdd to an USB external HDD, LG [02:56] you can select the mount point from a drop down box in the manual partitioning binmonkey [02:56] z3rongod, whats your question? [02:57] good evening folks :) [02:57] du -A, there we go [02:57] binMonkey, np, I get a lot of help in here, and try to reciprocate when I can, good luck! [02:57] Will I have internet connection under ubuntu ? [02:57] z3rongod: don't you mean GNU/Linux instead of GNU and Linux? [02:57] greezmunkey: I don't know. It's the usual winlogon.exe corrupted or not found error, and many solutions suggested in forums always tell you to use Vista Installation disc [02:57] z3rongod: why not ?

[03:01] hacker-palso: root is actually used to do those things [03:01] hacker-palso: its security [03:01] Goodbye windows [03:01] !sudo | hacker-palso [03:01] hacker-palso: 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) [03:01] hacker-palso: your account itself doesn't do that, but it uses a mechanism such as sudo to execute commands as root [03:01] !gay | antlong [03:02] thats right, nothing [03:02] hacker-palso: sudo is just SuperUserDO [03:02] cause im mad straight, g [03:02] yes but it use my user password [03:02] !ot | antlong [03:02] antlong: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:03] delete it hacker-palso [03:03] hacker-palso: the root account owns the sudoers file which gave you those priveledges [03:03] rmdir -f home or something [03:03] Hollah, for some reason the microphone isn't working on my clean install of 9.10 Desktop on my 1005HA [03:03] antlong: deleting it is a bad idea [03:03] owh... [03:03] that should do it [03:03] antlong: I am warning you again. Remain on topic, and do not give bad advice, or I you will be removed. [03:03] wgrant: im telling you again, suck it [03:04] LLUG: #linux [03:04] adios [03:04] beside the sudoers file what kind of files that the root owned?

[03:13] Haha, what? I had to legally change my name from 'enthdegree' to 'kelly' because I chose fedora over gentoo. :P [03:13] nullbyte: Right-click the panel and add "Inhibit Applet" -- I use that whenever I watch the movie. Useful when you don't want to tweak the power settings because the media player does not have inhibit code written in. [03:13] how can I make the screensaver matrixview been my desktop [03:13] djanatyn-gleki: it's always safer [03:13] greezmunkey, beat me to it ... lol [03:13] So what program would you recommend? [03:13] !firewalll| djanatyn-gleki [03:14] !firewall| djanatyn-gleki [03:14] djanatyn-gleki: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

[03:15] greezmunkey, yes [03:15] linux isn't worth using without compiz [03:15] Is there any issues in 9.10 [03:15] why??? [03:15] turtle_, it is because that only leaves windows and windows is fail [03:15] nullbyte, when was the last time you ran update manager?

[03:20] ubuntu doesn't let me display reasonable resolutions on my crt monitor.. where would I go for a driver fix? [03:20] kelly, i just what? [03:20] Is it possible to get the same repositories as ubuntu because when I tried the ubuntu live cd it looked like they had more software than mint [03:20] how do i force quit alex the alligator [03:21] Psinetic: 4 internets [03:21] hmmmmmm [03:21] hi, from time to time sound stops working in youtube under firefox with flashplugin-nonfree, I have to killall firefox to get it working again. Is this a known issue and is there a solution ? [03:21] turtle_: "xkill" in the terminal and click which window to terminate [03:22] el_compA: mint uses ubuntu repo [03:22] leaf-sheep, thanks man [03:22] Anacranom, it sounds to me that he has several issues, I mean gdm freezing coming out of screensaver... There was an update recently that is supposed to have helped that, but who knows what hardware/drivers he has, etc. [03:22] But howcome the ubuntu software manager has more software than mint? [03:22] !linuxmint | el_compA [03:22] !linuxmint [03:23] !mint | el_compA [03:23] el_compA: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) [03:23] Where are files downloaded with wget put?

[03:40] bazhang: hmm they must have changed that since I used it lsat [03:40] canthus13: it's used with certain video editing software and i need to downgrade because when i upgraded it, it broke stuff [03:40] switch10_, right click on torrent, check properties, uncheck follow global settings , set to what you wish [03:41] and when i try sudo apt-get remove mlt it says it couldn't find the pkg [03:41] transmission is the first thing i uninstall when i do an upgrade or install [03:41] I never liked it [03:41] !info mlt | aliciapg [03:41] aliciapg: Package mlt does not exist in karmic [03:41] aliciapg, there is no package mlt [03:41] shit this channel is fucking huge [03:42] Can someone familiar with GRUB tell me the difference between the Linux version of GRUB and GRUB4DOS http://www.themudcrab.com/acronis_grub4dos.php. Reason being that GRUB4DOS can boot .iso images from booting to a partition, and I was wondering if there is a reason why it can. [03:42] aliciapg: hm. try dpkg --get-selections | grep mlt [03:42] FFEMTcJ: are you using find ? [03:42] Blizz, watch the language [03:42] aliciapg: That might find you the package name. [03:42] deeperror: nope. [03:42] FFEMTcJ: head? [03:42] cut and sort [03:43] no head [03:43] canthus13: that didn't do anything... [03:43] hrm. [03:43] (( I just put the following in ~/.asoundrc )) I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general and I have read this from a forum post .. in this example where is the poster claiming the file he is aditing to be? I do not get the reference ~/ [03:43] switch10_: thanks I installed deluge and It looks very similar to utorrent from windows. I like it :) [03:43] Bubbadood: ~/ referes to your home directory. In other word, it is same for /home/bubba/ [03:43] Hmm. No matches for that, leaf-sheep. [03:44] does anyone know how to view the update history in kubuntu 9.10 I need to uninstall some of the latest updates as it has wrecked my computer [03:44] leaf-sheep thank you [03:44] Bubbadood: ~/ is a shortcut to /home/yourusername [03:44] MrBoom: Meh? [03:44] leaf-sheep: wish i knew [03:44] el_compA: ya its a utorrent clone actually :) [03:44] canthus13: i mean i can see the mlt folder in my home directory but then i [03:44] canthus13: *i'm not going to know how to reinstall it [03:45] ok WTF is up with GDM. It keeps changing my login theme BACK to humanlogin. Even AFTER I changed it in gconf tool! There HAS to be a better way! [03:45] FFEMTcJ: any * wildcards [03:46] leaf-sheep so in that example is he saying he created a file called asoundrc ? Becuase I do not have that file in my home directory. I'm trying to make some edits so that I can get Digital DTS sound over my HDMI Audio [03:46] If something goes wrong with my ubuntu installation in the future will it be difficult to reinstall ubuntu? Or will I just have to backup and install it like I did the first time? ( dual boot with windows) [03:46] nope.. I use * at one point to multiply.. but no wildcards.. deeperror [03:46] aliciapg: Might see if you can find a website for it. [03:47] aliciapg: Looks like mltframework.org [03:47] canthus13: i found something that says libmlt...would that be the same thing though? [03:47] aliciapg: That's part of it. [03:47] rj1: Be honest. You don't stare at GDM long enough to admire it. 10 seconds at most. I'd say move on to better things. :) [03:47] Hey, i'm using Ubuntu 9.04 -- How can I disable the wallpaper switch animation? It's really slow for me since i'm using xserver-xgl for Compiz and Xinerama [03:47] aliciapg: SOme tips on removing and installing it. http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/installing-source/installing-mlt-rendering-engine [03:47] I just downloaded the diveintopython package. How is it supposed to be read? There are no new icons anywhere in applications, so I'm stuck. [03:48] leaf-sheep it seems to be one of the FEW usable graphical login managers. I am VERY open for suggestions though. [03:48] Bubbadood: Well, ~/.asoundrc sounds like a configuration file for... ALSA, in my opinion. It is common for personal files and personal configuration files to reside inside home directory. Do try and see if you obtained your HDMI sound through that. [03:48] canthus13: thank you :D [03:48] leaf-sheep, lies, I once admired my own gdm theme for 20 minutes.... Though, I made it. [03:48] man. I wish the ATI drivers hadn't dropped support for older cards. [03:48] aliciapg: No problem. [03:48] rj1: Autologin and bypass the GDM? :) [03:49] I have people over at my house all the time, Id like not to give them unrestricted access :D Even if it is just to non-root functionality [03:49] deeperror: any other thoughts? [03:50] FFEMTcJ: might be missing some quotes somewhere [03:50] Is it even possible to disable the wallpaper switch animation? [03:50] thanks, all--DasEi2, switch10, in paticular...peace, all!... [03:51] I downloaded diveintopython docs & gimp tutorials as packages, which installed, but how am I supposed to read them? [03:51] this is my grub.cfg, i have several boot options and im not sure which ones to remove from here http://paste.ubuntu.com/339590/ [03:51] doc_: see what we can find [03:51] hi there, i'm trying to change the default resolution gdm starts with in ubuntu 9.10 running in vmware workstation, but i'm unsure what the correct way to do so is. most information online seems either out of date or incorrect === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [03:51] ya'll already helped greatly!...appreciated--i mostly needed to just talk to someone, i guess--relive my frustration at slow learning curve...lol... [03:52] evening crowd [03:52] deeperror: thanks for your assistance [03:52] i had no trouble changing the resolution of grub, framebuffer and the resolution after a users logs in, the only thing i am having trouble with is setting the resolution gdm launches with [03:52] FFEMTcJ: find it? [03:52] im a #! distro user, if i forgot to mention (im in a couple IRC rooms, and i foget...lol...)... [03:53] rj1: Do what you gotta do. I'm sure you could use screensaver (with password) and run that in autostart. Bypass GDM and you'd go straight to Ubuntu, which should send you to screensaver lockout. [03:53] you know how if you highlight some txt and then click the middle mouse key where ever you want to paste it and that will paste, but for people without the middle button we are suposed to paste by clickin both mouse buttons to sumulate a middle click [03:53] deeperror: I added a space between a >= and a 1 and it now exits without an error.. so I guess that was the problem [03:53] Brand new to Linux. I need some help with my video. [03:53] hey guys. i have hardy heron. would you guys recommend a clean install of the latest ubuntu release or an upgrade? [03:54] my mouse has four buttons can i make my 2 or 3 button the middle click simulate [03:54] Is there a way to, using iptables, alter the destination port without altering the destination IP address (which is unknown at the time of rule writing)? ie. DNAT without specifying a new dest IP? [03:54] FFEMTcJ: nice! [03:54] ynk: You will be able to upgrade directly to Ubuntu 10.04 when it is released in April, but to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 (the current latest release), you would have to first upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, then 9.04 then 9.10. [03:54] deeperror: seems too picky :-( oh well.. I guess thats why im learning how to script.. so I know what to do [03:55] howdy [03:55] FFEMTcJ: google bash scripting [03:55] wgrant, would you recommend the series of upgrades? [03:55] deeperror: its a class... csh is required [03:55] I have found a solution to a common problem - being able to keep your favorite settings and stuff when you switch computers [03:55] It's probably easier to either reinstall or wait four months. [03:55] FFEMTcJ: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [03:55] ynk: ^^ [03:55] I just installed 9.10. When I bott, it will only work in low graphics mode. Any suggestions? [03:55] boot [03:55] is there a good ubuntu distro for use as a media centre? just for playing music and video, not mythtv. Need to support older ATI cards. [03:55] thanks leaf-sheep [03:56] Nicholas ubuntustudio? [03:56] wgrant: Guess what I did that would make upgrades easy? [03:56] wgrant, let me rephrase the question--do you think the upgrade from hardy heron to latest is worth it? [03:56] NicholasPerkins: I use a normal Ubuntu desktop installation and run Moovida on it. [03:56] NicholasPerkins: Ubuntu Minimal + XBMC? [03:56] nice link, leaf-sheep [03:57] ynk: I cannot say whether it's worth it for your purposes. [03:57] ynk, never trust a dist-upgrade. always clean install [03:57] wgrant: I use a persistent USB Live setup [03:57] ynk: But I would certainly upgrade for a non-server machine. [03:57] DasEi2: I hope you learn something new. :) [03:57] airtonix: Why not? [03:57] airtonix: I've upgraded machines through many Ubuntu releases without problems. [03:57] wgrant: Or do what I do and just create a persistent Live setup [03:57] wgrant, lucky you. it'll bite you one day [03:58] wgrant, thanks. you've just convinced me to upgrade. :] [03:58] airtonix: It's still a lot easier to try to upgrade, and then only reinstall in the tiny fraction of cases in which it fails. [03:58] wgrant: Creating a persistent Live setup, all you would need is a fresh image of the new version of Ubuntu on a LiveCD and a USB stick to save the changes... [03:58] wgrant, if you have your home on a separate partition, then its easier to clean install [03:58] airtonix, thanks for the tip. duly noted. that's exactly what i'm going to do. hmm, maybe i'll try OpenSuse on my laptop... [03:58] Its easier to upgrade my way, wgrant [03:59] what is a good webbased app to let users control their accounts thru a web interface [03:59] im running 9.10 64 [03:59] Hello all [03:59] server [03:59] mnaines: I prefer a real system. [03:59] airtonix: It is. And? [03:59] wgrant: This setup works on ANY computer... [03:59] mnaines: I'm quite aware. [04:00] smackdaddy: webmin, ssh x forwarded , vpn .. what shall they do ? [04:00] Im kind of new to Ubuntu iv used linux for awhile for servers but not as a desktop. Anyways has anyone here compiled GLmartix screen saver from source? [04:00] hi [04:00] que tal, sebsebseb [04:00] MrBoom: hmm? [04:00] i haven't a clue, sebsebseb [04:00] blue_: Why do you want to? [04:00] wgrant: This setup solves the problem with keeping your settings and configuration when you change computers or upgrade them [04:00] !compile | blue_ [04:00] blue_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:00] I want to change the color from Green to blue which cant do unless i compile it [04:01] mnaines: I know. But a live USB flash drive setup does not at all cater to my needs as a developer. [04:01] dasei2, thanks. [04:01] Yeah I know how to compile im not that new just cant seem to compile this source [04:01] wgrant: You're an Ubuntu developer? [04:01] quick question SVN and Apache together or not together and why [04:01] mnaines: I am. [04:02] I downloaded diveintopython docs & some gimp tutorials as packages, which installed, but how am I supposed to read them, or anything else in /usr/share/docs ? [04:02] blue_: shall we try together ? [04:02] if i drop a script in /etc/cron.daily do i need to restart crond? [04:02] bartel: No. [04:02] hi [04:02] wgrant: Good...Because you could help me with my idea...This setup is beneficial in many ways, so one way you could help is by creating an Ubuntu flavor that's optimized for persistent Live setups like mine [04:02] yes I am game to try it with you [04:02] alazyworkaholic: Try pointing Firefox at /usr/share/doc/diveintopython [04:03] mnaines: ... what's wrong iwth normal Ubuntu? [04:03] We include a persistent live USB drive creator in the default installation. [04:03] how to install cromium browser in ubuntu ?

[04:03] has someone noticed problems with irc connection after kernel upgrade on ubuntu 9.10 [04:04] i want to change the simulate middle mouse click from presssing both mouse buttons to pressin the second button i have a 4 button mouse [04:04] mnaines: You can't feasily remove more than a couple of hundred megabytes from the default installation. [04:04] hello mrboom [04:04] mnaines: Anyway, this is offtopic for here. [04:04] i just got the usb flash drive to work, but i need to mount the other harddisks to see where i can install ubuntu, how do i mount the other harddisks? [04:04] wgrant: thanks, that worked. [04:05] bazhang do you know how to view the update history in kubuntu 9.10 I need to uninstall some of the latest updates as it has wrecked my computer [04:05] ok DasEi2 so I downloaded the source for xscreensaver-5.10 changed the xpm files needed to change the image and tried to compile [04:05] I take it that my question was above a few heads tonight lol [04:05] Klett: I had some probs today, but can't reduce them to kernel update, lot's of splits today and I'm running a bunch of stuff [04:05] blue_: got a link ? [04:05] what do you know, a public irc for ubuntu [04:05] awesome1 [04:05] http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html [04:05] Anyone else having issues printing with Chrome Beta? 'splix error while rendering the request' [04:05] JohninLex: Any particular reason for using Subversion? [04:05] bazhang knetworkmanager no longer lets me click to connect to a network on the gui [04:06] hello, i am looking for something to show download speed, preferrably that can be minimized to the panel , and still show speed, is there anything like that for ubuntu? [04:06] DasEi2: Just a regular .configure wont work it comes back with a x11 header error [04:06] blue_: I d/l it, vm will be there in ~5 min, I'll call your nick then [04:06] kk ty [04:07] JoeSomebody: not a true meter, but firestarter does that. [04:07] i have continuous connection refusal with "couldn't lookup your hostname etc" [04:07] How does ext4 do with large files as compared to ext3? I remember ext3 could take as long as 15 seconds or so to delete videos from the harddrive [04:07] Johninlex..wouldn't that question be better directed in an Apache specific chat room? [04:07] now i am back using my other ubuntu 8.04 [04:07] maybe i have to fix something in iptables [04:07] bllzz: instantenous [04:07] ? [04:08] does anyone know how to view the update history in kubuntu 9.10 I need to uninstall some of the latest updates as it has wrecked my computer? [04:08] bllzz: slightly faster, quite same, rm o'course is faster then move to trash [04:08] you are right zengeos, but hey I sometimes I get great help here as well [04:08] sry dunno g__ [04:08] DasEi2: right. i'm considering using it for an HTPC [04:08] I can't select any network anymore on the knetworkmanager applet [04:08] alankila: that's a definite improvement =) [04:08] DasEi2: Um, what? Moving to Trash should be faster than rm itself. [04:08] g_ how has it wrecked your computer/ [04:08] I can't select any network anymore on the knetworkmanager applet [04:08] bllzz: ext4 is fine for that [04:09] #ubuntu is the #1 stoping point zengeos [04:09] huh okay. i'll give it a whirl. I've used xfs up until now, but why not... ext4 seems to have mmore or less stabilized [04:09] JohninLex, whats the problem? [04:09] anyone know of a fix for laptop touchpads NOT being identified as synaptic devices ? [04:09] g__: /var/log/apt/history.log [04:09] zengeos its weird it worked right before the update flawlessly but now I can't click to join any network [04:09] hmm. g_ perhaps you installed some other networking softwre that is conflicting? WiCd sometimes could do that perhaps? [04:10] g_:WiCD [04:10] zengeos I've done nothing, mliterally done nothing [04:10] install it [04:10] thanks East [04:10] bllzz: very stable, as I remember xfs is in advantages for lots of very small files [04:10] I had a ton of probs with knetworkmanager and just switched to wicd, worked like a charm [04:11] DasEi2 hmm that doesn't show anything with Kate [04:11] DasEi2: other way around. it has problems with small files [04:11] DasEi2: err, no. XFS is in fact one of the slowest, especially when deleting. I regret ever going with xfs, personally. [04:11] I could never get knetworkmanager to work. [04:11] ....I feel lame, I just use ext4 XD [04:11] Jeruvy, thanks, reading up on that , any other ways, anyone ? [04:11] I still have some old servers that contain xfs filesystem but it's too much work for little benefit to ever change the fs now [04:11] does anyone else reccoment wicd? [04:12] DasEi2: XFS was on the god-teir with large files on raid0, but it was on par with satan himself with my digital photos [04:12] Speaking of networking erhaps someonbe has thoughts on my little issue [04:12] Hello. [04:12] <--typo's very well thanks [04:12] alankila: you had issues deleting with xfs? was this for small files? [04:12] Google Chrome for Linux has finally been released. [04:12] blizz: it's some ago I read about it, I ran with ext2,3,4 .. I'm one of the ones who pulls the plug when sleeping from pc-tv, never had probs with ext4 [04:12] It is on google.com/chrome [04:12] Tetracomm: Where can I download it? [04:12] Tetracomm: great, no we can get our privacy raped [04:13] *now [04:13] why on earth would you want to use chrome [04:13] =) [04:13] bllzz: the size doesn't matter so much as the number. XFS has some very ugly metadata update sequence required for deleting. I don't know more about it, but it's like several times slower than any of the others. [04:13] its big brother spying on you! [04:13] I'm just trying it. [04:13] mrd112233: lol. well to be fair firefox *is* bloated [04:13] yes but if u value ur privacy, u wouldnt go near chrome [04:13] alankila: right, but I always thought hte metadata had bog had to do with the small-filesize issue [04:13] bllzz, mrd112233 plenty of browsers besides firefox [04:14] usser: i was being cheeky [04:14] i heard there's a alternative called SRWare Iron [04:14] bllzz: well, the metadata load is probably close to fixed per file, probably growing slowly with file size. The proportion of data vs meta updates is the issue. That is why we whine about small file performance, because it's the metadata that dominates this kind of activity. [04:15] does transmission work with all torrents ? [04:15] blue_: they have got debs, did you try them ? [04:15] blue_: 32 or 64 bit ? [04:15] DasEi2:the debs you can't edit the xpm file to change the color. Unless there is a way to extract the deb to get to the files in it? [04:15] 32 bit [04:16] anyway, xfs is great compared to the utter disaster that is jfs. These days I wish all my systems just ran ext4, but perhaps a time is approaching when btrfs needs to be taken out for a test. [04:16] alankila: ah i see. makes sense. I didn't know that [04:16] blue_: you""could do so, but without nowing that app, config is usually changed after install I 'd guess [04:16] alankila: what's wrong with JFS? [04:17] fragmentation over time. [04:17] DasEi2: This is the tut I used to get where I am. [04:17] I had it as system drive for a few years and boy did it get slow, tracking debian and then ubuntu [04:17] I've been using it since 2003. [04:17] DasEi2: Gues I should have pasted the link http://santhoshtr.livejournal.com/7078.html [04:17] (yes, I used to mix'n'match repositories.) [04:18] Perhaps my usage patterns haven't caused the same fragmentation that you've had. [04:18] pharvey: yeah, it took some real abuse to get to that point, I'm sure... it was constantly something like 70 % full and a 10 GB of data went in and out every week, or at least every month if not every week [04:19] unstable can have a lot of updates. [04:20] hello [04:20] does anyone know how to program in python [04:20] ? [04:20] blue_: deb is installing [04:20] anyone good at python? [04:20] SssS ss [04:20] plenty of tutorials on the net... [04:21] Alius, look into dive into python great book [04:21] but the thing is, that jfs-based system was the only one I ever noticed to slow down dramatically with time. All the others have proven to be fragmentation resistant, or at least have resisted fragmentation well enough that I never noticed any problems. [04:21] blue_: wants another version of libxml2 [04:21] I know how to program [04:21] Alius: i bet somebody in #python knows a guy who knows a guy who might know some python [04:21] i just need to learn methods and constructors [04:22] there are also several rooms dedicated to Python [04:22] if i have a laptop with a touchpad which is NOT being identified as a synaptics device (the default driver set) what are my options ? ive tried to tell it, that it would take over, but its still showing up, and being use as a normal mouse.. ideas / pointers please ? [04:22] Alius, get the book, it explains everything about python in detail [04:22] visit #python [04:22] Alius: try ^^ [04:22] official docu is very good too [04:22] well I installed grub2 on 9.10, and upgrade-from-grub-legacy, but ussing the grub command, says grub is not installed, although grub2 is installed [04:23] thers i no channel #python [04:23] Does grub2 *see* Solaris? [04:23] grumble...Open solaris doesn't see Linux...Linux doesn't see Solaris [04:23] sure there is [04:24] hitek88: i get the same issue atm [04:24] nope [04:24] Quan-Time, hmm [04:24] hitek88: it works.. just throws weird errors.. but you can boot fine.. ive been doin it for like 3 days [04:24] Quan-Time, lol what about grub. How do you run grub in the command line? [04:25] cheeko: there is a #python channel [04:25] how do I do boot profiling in grub2? [04:25] umm, how you mean "run grub" [04:25] its a boot loader. [04:25] oh, you wanna reconfig grub ? [04:25] but no members in ti [04:26] hi [04:26] hey, jesus [04:26] :D === jesus is now known as Guest3444 [04:26] Quan-Time, yeah, you can run grub in the command line [04:26] finally, i found jesus! === Guest3444 is now known as Jesus-Virus [04:26] omg [04:26] uheuhe [04:26] :D [04:26] ow my god [04:26] :D [04:26] halleluwah [04:27] my name is jesus, but here no is possible [04:27] :D [04:27] anyone know how to install wicd but also uninstall knetworkmanager?? [04:27] my english is very bad :( so sorry! [04:27] alankila: well, JFS on Linux is supported in many commercial environments. I never did any tuning on my home system, perhaps the VMs I've used in my work were configured differently somehow to avoid this problem. [04:27] hello, i had an error in wine and had to restart, and now it says it cant mount fstab and my desktop is all white in 9.10 [04:27] g_, wicd will uninstall NM [04:27] Jesus-Virus: screw english, speak American!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:29] whats the command to run grub2? [04:30] !grub [04:30] 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. [04:30] safe mode ok brb [04:30] I only used JFS on low spec systems that didn't need great I/O bandwidth. The reduced CPU overhead in large sets of FS operations was worth extra effort over ext3. XFS seemed marginally faster in that respect. [04:30] !grub2 [04:30] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:30] hitek88: you don't "run" ubuntu. ubuntu boots your system. what exactly are you trying to do? [04:30] gdiz: yes amixer [04:30] *sorry... i mean't grub2 [04:30] lol [04:30] thanks ctmjr [04:30] bllzz, I am trying to run GRUB, not Ubuntu [04:31] hitek88: yeah sorry, typo [04:31] pharvey: yes. However, it may be that the low cpu comes at less optimal block layout strategies, or something. No free lunch & all that. [04:31] hitek88: i mean't to say you don't "run" grub. grub boots ubuntu [04:31] g__, well then, how do I resolve the conflicts is the real question. What error do you get, please use paste.ubuntu.com. [04:31] Aluis: sorry. I'm not sure what you're referring to. [04:31] hitek88: what exactly are you trying to do with grub? [04:31] bllzz, you can run grub inside a terminal [04:31] What's a good way to transcode a *big* pile of FLAC files to MP3s? [04:31] g__, while you are getting that together, I'm going outside for a smoke... [04:32] gdiz: your welcome here is a sample how to use it amixer set 'PCM',0 5%+ [04:32] dg1: try to fix it from there [04:32] I don't think JFS was "cheating" - unlike ext3, it was better able to background its operations, whereas ext3 would block and prevent too many processes from doing things all at once. [04:32] hitek88: to what purpose? You can reconfigure grub or reinstall it, but afaik (and I've been wrong before) you can't run it in the terminal. what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [04:32] bllzz, supposedly grub2 comes installed on 9.10. I checked my version, it said 0.9 so I installed grub2, ran update-grub, and now "grub" in terminal does nothing [04:33] grub2 now. in term [04:33] greezmunkey http://paste.ubuntu.com/339701/ [04:33] this is my grub.cfg, i have several boot options and im not sure which ones to remove from here http://paste.ubuntu.com/339590/ [04:33] blue_:... bugs the whole sys, first throwed an error about lib... , then -f install pulled ~20MB additional packets, now 420MB are obsolete, including build essential .. eerm, xscreensaver itself is in the repos, you know that ? [04:33] bllzz, you can't actually run grub inside a terminal no, but you run a grub configuration terminal too to make changes to grub [04:33] pharvey: well, the sequentalism that I assume you refer to in ext3 would be irrelevant for a low-spec system, which we assume to imply 1 cpu. So it's not really an argument. Saving CPU time may be, if it is that precious. [04:34] hitek88: ah okay, that makes sense. I think you want to look at the config file [04:34] oh well, bedtime, etc. Laters. [04:34] DasEi2: Yea I was just thinking that Im not even using xscreensaver im using gnome-screensaver i think the only thing i need to know how to compile from source is xscreensaver-gl now that i think about it [04:35] DasEi2: not sure how to do it iv just been trying to do what was in that tut i sent you [04:35] I never did deep investigation into the problem. This is on single-CPU systems where I had "lots" (given the hardware, sub-1.0GHz) of processes needing to do ioctls and create/move/delete operations on lots of files. [04:35] blue_:I'll try again from source when vm is back from dumpster :-D [04:36] hitek88: actually disregard that... [04:36] hello all [04:36] bllzz, might be a bit more then looking at a config file [04:36] hitek88: i just checked the wiki and it seems as though the config file isn't meant t be edited [04:36] but anyway, I no longer have to worry about such systems... [04:36] hi. is a release of thunderbird 3.0 available in ubuntu? [04:36] bllzz: well usually making changes to GRUB settings involves editing the config file, but it seems as though a lot has changed in GRUB2 [04:37] Where are the bitlbee account files stored on ubuntu? I messed up my password :-/ [04:37] DasEi2: Will your VM work with OpenGL ect? If your already on Ubuntu 9.10 then you have the screen saver by default I just want to know how to change it to blue the easier the better maybe you know a different way [04:37] bllzz: have you looked at this yet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ? [04:37] i edited the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, blizz .. just to remove some old entries and change the default bootloader from linux to ubuntu [04:37] its pretty much obvious what to do when you open the file. nicely commented and such [04:37] hi channel! I'm trying to mount an iso on a samba share I can see in nautilus, but terminal won't take smb:// [04:38] bllzz, hmm, nv. Maybe there is no more grub terminal mode. Unless, can you type "grub -v" in the terminal for me and tell what version it says [04:38] bllzz, are you on 9.10? [04:38] hitek88: not currently. i'm actually in windows right now [04:38] hitek88: but the config file is here: /etc/default/grub [04:38] bllzz, k nm [04:38] Blue_: gl works, what exactly you want to change to blue ? [04:39] hitek88: it would help to know exactly what you're trying to do with grub though [04:39] bllzz, for the old grub [04:39] I have a filesystem can be mounted error [04:39] will not start in recovery mode [04:39] hitek88: what about the old grub? [04:39] * pharvey wonders why he still has xset and xinput if they aren't actually able to do anything useful [04:39] DasEi2: I got D/c if you said anything i missed it. [04:39] dg1: what filesystem? [04:39] Blue_: gl works, what exactly you want to change to blue ? [04:39] bllzz, config file is actually located here /boot/grub/ [04:39] Hmm. No matches for that, hitek88. [04:39] fstab [04:40] MrBoom, sorry? [04:40] i don't know, hitek88 [04:40] the GLMatrix screen saver color from Green to Blue [04:40] my whole desktop is white [04:40] me [04:40] MrBoom, don't know what? [04:40] hitek88: bugger all, i dunno [04:40] i can still open applications with the task bar i just cant see it [04:40] hitek88: hmm, you should look at that link I posted. it seems to insist that /etc/default/grub is the main one now... but i haven't looked at ti closely [04:40] the old grub boot menu was /boot/grub/menu.lst the new one one is /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:40] can some1 help me properly install enemy territories wolfanstien its a .run file, using ubuntu 9.10 i have tried terminal but it closes [04:40] any way to do a scan or a restore [04:41] hitek88: full disclosure, i haven't used grub2 very much [04:41] well except for the fact that it boots my machine [04:41] yay! google fetched an answer! everything is now okay channel! [04:41] bragzz: sure [04:41] anyone know howto install the new thunderbird 3 from a .deb in ubuntu? [04:41] if you're reading the logged version of this online, the answer is: smbclient or smbmount [04:41] bragzz: make a dir : sudo mkdir wf [04:42] aquafina, yes that is correct [04:42] bragzz: chown -R bragzz /wf [04:42] bragzz: braggz your username on that pc o'course [04:43] bllzz, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [04:43] bragzz: copy the run file in there [04:43] my / filled up. i keep getting failed kernel update installs. now /tmp is full of folders named /tmp/mkinitramfs_********, can I remove these? [04:43] aquafina, use the ppa [04:43] hitek88: well that certainly seems complete and trustworthy =) [04:43] lol [04:43] How do you change your computer's hostname in ubuntu?

[04:47] ynk, divfix++ [04:47] I am doing a new install on a new partition now. [04:47] aquafina, use nautilus, right click on iso image and click write to disc. or you'd like a gui? [04:47] ynk, http://divfixpp.sourceforge.net/ [04:47] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 and none of the users can login it just comes irght back to the login prompt [04:47] Hiko, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18555 [04:48] aquafina, also, do you need a gui to pick the data you wanted iso'd up? [04:48] mazda01: a gui would be good, but if i can right click a whole directory and send it to the DVD, that would be great [04:48] bragzz: done so far ? [04:48] mazda01: i just want to burn on the fly, not make an interim iso, if possible [04:48] tvaughn: can you login from ccmdline ? [04:48] <[V]ortex`> how do i increase overall font size in 9.10? [04:48] kostkon, thanks buddy. [04:48] awesome, IRSSI works with Guake [04:48] aquafina, i am sure there is a right click context menu script for nautilus that will burn all stuff selected to dvd [04:48] is there any implementation simalar to the way Ubuntu allows windows drivers to work with that OS, to allow Fedora to work with windows drivers as Free or as a Non-Free package??

[04:49] CkhiKuzad: what's guake ? [04:49] aquafina, you can drag the folder to the dvd staging area in nautilus [04:49] [V]ortex`: right clock on desktop, and there will be change backgound -- go there, it will have a font setting. change the font sizes [04:49] airtonix: ok. let me try that [04:49] is there a way i can install Moovida through terminal? "apt-get install" isn't working. "couldn't find package moovida"... i guess i'll go to their site.

[04:51] airtonix, Thank you that looks like a solution. I will try it and let you know on my other box. [04:51] bragzz: I see, well I once ran it in wine, that was really fine [04:51] Much appreciated [04:51] <[V]ortex`> aquafina i've done that already, but it does not work for the overall system. For example, chromium font still remains small [04:51] mazda01, alternative way to reach the disc burn/staging are in nautilus is to enter burn:// in the location field [04:51] ynk : which one currently ? [04:51] [V]ortex`: oh. that you will have to adjust from within chromium [04:52] airtonix, right [04:52] I am running koala on my laptop and my wireless was working ok but not great.. so i installed ndiswrapper and it didnt get any better.. when i removed ndiswrapper though now my computer doesn;t see the wireless adapter it seems what do i do to get it back!? thanks in advance [04:52] my / filled up. i keep getting failed kernel update installs. now /tmp is full of folders named /tmp/mkinitramfs_********, can I remove these?

[04:54] ynk: you really should dist-upgrade, much better it became, hardware ? [04:54] [V]ortex`: why do you need to change everytime you reboot? i changed all the fonts on my system to lucida grande and a size i prefer, even in firefox. i dont use chromium, but i dont think you should do it many times [04:55] ynk : http://www.moovida.com/packages/ [04:55] is there any way to make HDMI audio work with ubuntu 9.10? [04:55] DasEi2, why? the 8.04 is LTS??? [04:55] <[V]ortex`> aquafina: i think it has to do with the hmtl rendering.... i can ctr + to manually increase the font size, but changing withini chromium doesn't affect the font on the webpage, just the settings box font within chromium [04:55] [V]ortex`: hm, weird. how do i install chromium? from the default repositories?

Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [04:57] ynk : yes [04:57] DasEi2, ynk: LTS to LTS is fully supported, and works just fine. [04:57] [V]ortex`: i dont think something changes the fonts system-wide [04:58] ynk: What are you hoping to fix/accomplish by upgrading to 9.10? [04:58] but i am not sure [04:58] DasEi2, no, keep your /home on a separate partition and all is fine [04:58] can things in /tmp be deleted without consequence? [04:58] Anacranom: nick-miss ? [04:58] DasEi2, Flannel, i meant to say i will do clean install of Lucid Lynx. sorry. Lol [04:59] <[V]ortex`> aquafina: ok thanks. I prob should suggest to them. This is the main factor why i dislike using ubuntu. My screen's too big and the font is too small =( [04:59] Flannel: I thought of being used too, will confront with a bunch of changes then [04:59] DasEi2: What? [04:59] to* [04:59] ynk: Right, but what are you looking to fix/change/whatever by moving from 8.04 to 9.10? (what's wrong with 8.04 for you?) [05:00] is there a recommended utility for viewing google sketchups? [05:00] airtonix, that worked perfectly. Thank you so much. It is very appreciated. [05:00] Flannel: If I used hardy up to lucid, I would have difficuilties in getting all that changes in once, more then a version ( or 2 version..) wise adaption [05:00] Flannel, i feel like i'm living in the past. i'm not running a server here. this is my home desktop, and i would just like to try the newer stuff. [05:01] ynk, have you considered creating new partitions and multibooting? [05:01] can anyone tell what is the name of the screen you see after grub but, just before login. it has the ubuntu logo in the center of the page [05:01] ...Man, seeing 'lucid' made me think of a smaller Network I go to >_>; [05:01] ynk, you're on 1 LTS, if its working for you, stick with it till next LTS... [05:01] ynk: Alright. That's a good enough reason, but if you wait until April, you can upgrade straight to it, instead of reinstalling fresh, or upgrading three times. [05:02] is that xsplash? [05:02] So you can check out whatever distro or revision you want? [05:02] Hiko, why should i keep 8.10 around? i'm going to dump my files on Dropbox.com and just do a clean install of Lucid. :] [05:02] ynk: You're on 8.10 right now? [05:02] Flannel, yes. [05:02] Guest5735: The colourful one is xsplash. The black and white one is usplash. [05:03] ynk: 8.10 isn't LTS. You'd only have to upgrade twice (9.04, then 9.10) to get to 9.10 [05:03] ynk: hardy you said [05:03] Ah. That works too. I keep 4 partitions going on my desktop. 8.04 with a home, latest distro with a home and shared swap so I can check things out. [05:03] Flannel, being new to the GNU Linux world, I wanted to play it safe, so I got Hardy Heron. now, i want to live a little more dangerously. ;D [05:03] ah, thank you [05:03] If I need files from 8.04 I can just mount the disk and access. [05:03] i have a partition i need to enter into fstab to be mounted on startup. it has a share on it that was used by a previous linux OS, so i think i need to take ownership? it wont let me change permissions. [05:04] ynk, 8.10??? ewww [05:04] DasEi2, oops. i think i meant 8.04... which ever one is Hardy. haha [05:04] ynk: hardy is 8.04, not 8.10 (ibex) [05:04] ynk: 8.10 isn't Hardy. But whatever. Installing 9.10 sounds fine :) [05:04] ynk: ok well in that case, if 8.10 is getting a bit to old for you, I suggest upgradeing to 9.04, and I suggest you still do a clean install of Lucid, so you probably get Ext4 and Grub 2 without any issues. By the way if you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 you might get issues, this happended to quite a lot of people. [05:04] .. for sure [05:04] issue: I know next to no commands, can't login to xfce sessions, only xterm with xubuntu [05:04] DasEi2, Flannel sebsebseb, sorry. i have 8.04! [05:04] sebsebseb: Those issues were largely resolved within a week of the release. [05:04] eh why 9.04 instead of 9.10? [05:05] wgrant: oh ok, so upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 should go pretty well for most now? [05:05] I did a fresh install of 9.04 and then after updating did a Distro upgrade. Hopefully that will work fine. [05:05] sebsebseb: Yes [05:05] ynk: that's the hardy karmic we all got stimes;-) [05:05] wgrant: ok good [05:05] and what is up with having to diable compiz to get remote desktop to work? [05:05] sebsebseb, you might have an issue with pulse audio other than that everything is fine [05:05] can anyone tell me why i cant get my wireless working.. it used to work fine in ubuntu koala then i installed ndiswrapper just to see if it would work faster and it didnt.. when i removed ndiswrapper now my wireless device doesn't show up in the network connection utility [05:06] limey: no. i have compiz running and can get remote desktop and vnc working fine. been using it since i installed last night [05:06] i cant figure out how to get it back and im gonna throw my laptop off the roof [05:06] lol [05:06] DasEi2, ;D one of the reason i want to upgrade is to start contributing to open source. i want to try the current releases and do what i can to help. [05:06] mMezquitale: well I am still keeping the other computer on 9.04 for now, I wasn't that keen on 9.10. 10.04 will be pretty good though it seems from what I have read about it [05:06] what is ndiswrapper [05:06] where can I find an image file of Ubuntu Server Hardy, that is compadable with Xen [05:06] aquafina, i have to disable compiz. only way it will update. [05:07] compatible [05:07] *.img file [05:07] limey: wow. weird [05:07] ynk: as suggested above, dualbooting or using vm's is a good start [05:07] it seems like a common bug from what ive read [05:07] klett ndiswrapper is a utility to allow you to use windows drivers for wireless adapters [05:07] ynk: then collect experience and contribute [05:07] ynk: may as well stay on hardy for now, if you want something else, well vm's yeah [05:07] limey: i have compiz visual effects set to "extra" [05:07] sebsebseb, so far the only issue I have heard and personally experienced about is pulse audio on karmic, other than that just familiarise yourself with grub2 [05:07] hmm [05:07] where can I find an image file of Ubuntu Server Hardy, that is compatible with Xen *.img [05:07] just to see if it [05:07] aquafina, i had no probs with 9.04 [05:07] where to find help with apache web server configuration ? [05:07] what was your problem [05:08] ubuntu 9.10 was ok for me [05:08] bobdillon8686, have you checked to see if your old driver is still present? an being used? [05:08] !apache [05:08] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:08] mMezquitale: yeah sound find out about Grub 2, even though I am on a distro right now instead of Karmic, that doesn't use it just yet, but I will be virtual machine testing Lucid [05:08] mMezquitale: should not sound above [05:08] blue_ i am unsure how to do anything with drivers.. as far as i can tell there is no "device manager" in ubuntu which i must say is very very very annoying. [05:08] aquafina, do you know how to edit fstab to automount a partition? [05:09] aquafina, nm, imma google it [05:09] limey: um sure [05:09] him, guys. i got the dual boot working. i set /home to 168733mb, / to 90000, and swap to 6144. does that sound ok? [05:09] bob,what a M$ user! [05:09] lol [05:09] mMezquitale: already done alpha 1 in vm, and off topic now [05:09] limey: check that link. it has a lot of stuff [05:09] aquafina, more important is, how do i take ownership of that partition? [05:09] if i were you bobdillon8686 i would remove ndiswrapper restart and choose recovery mode [05:09] man chown ? [05:09] then repair broken packages [05:10] i tried chown [05:10] blue_: source is d/l in vm [05:10] recursive too? [05:10] and then boot normally and tehn reboot [05:10] aquafina, it wont let me change permnissions [05:10] DasEi2: Thought you forgot about me lol [05:10] where to find help with apache web server configuration ? [05:10] i have removed ndiswrapper.. and now the wireless isnt there as if the device doesn;t exist.. how do i get into recovery mode and what should i do once there? [05:10] limey: as root? [05:10] bobdillon8686: there is [05:10] limey: what error do you get? [05:10] bobdillon8686, linux does things a little bit differently, you learn by making mistakes, it's a bit of a learning curbe but once you get started you will be amazed at how much youre able to do with whatever hardware you have [05:10] restart and do recovery mode [05:11] i dont know how to sudo it from terminal [05:11] when you boot [05:11] grub menu has a second voice below the main one [05:11] bobdillon8686: gnome-device-manager [05:11] bobdillon8686, what device are you trying to activate? [05:11] limey: er what do you mean howto sudo it? [05:12] second line [05:12] bobdillon8688 is your wifi built in or usb? [05:12] i got the dual boot working. i set /home to 168733mb, / to 90000, and swap to 6144. does that sound ok? [05:12] bobdillon8686: Have you checked System>Administration>Hardware Drivers for your wireless card? [05:12] furythor, this is ubuntu support, if someone can help you with your question they will surely reply, otherwise I suggest you try another time and repost your message [05:12] bob,come back to M$ win,linux is not for production envilment...Its much slower than XP [05:12] eastdallas yes [05:12] richie0: What's those in GB? === hacker-palso is now known as her0 [05:12] sebsebseb: sorry, they're in megabytes. [05:12] anacranom wireless [05:12] richie0: monster swap, else 90gb root is fine [05:12] how do i get nautilus into root mode? [05:13] 90GB root? [05:13] richie0: you want like 10GB or so for / [05:13] gksudu nautilus [05:13] limey: sudo nautilus [05:13] i figured that most stuff would go in my /hoime file. [05:13] limey run sudo nautilus [05:13] linux is for those who enjoy playing themself... [05:13] alright so i've been desperately struggling with something that should be trivial for the past few days. I have two monitors and Jaunty decides whatever monitor i set to be on the left is primary monitor but I want the one on the right to be the primary. I've tried switching monitor cables and fiddling with xrandr to no avail. not sure if i'm just not using xrandr correctly but no matter what I get no change. using open source drivers [05:13] for my ati 4870 any help please? [05:13] aquafina you have to install nautilus-something from synaptic package anager [05:13] m [05:13] richie0: yes so like 10 to 12GB for /, a bit of swap space, and really big seperate /home [05:13] coofish: Stop trolling, thanks. [05:13] coofish, you speak for yourself, linux is a lot faster than windows on all hardware I have tried [05:13] sebsebseb: is there any way to change it now that it's all done? [05:14] the right option ofr right button menu [05:14] anacranom.. my wireless was working great then i installed ndiswrapper to see if that would make it faster.. but it didnt.. when i removed ndiswrapper my wireless now doesnt function [05:14] ooooooooooo, errors [05:14] richie0: should be able to resize / on the Live CD, Ubuntu can't be using it when re sizing [05:14] how does one make it so nm-applet doesn't prompt for my password when I connect to my wifi? [05:14] bobdillon8686, have you done all the updates via wired and looked at System>Administration> Hardware Drivers ? [05:14] anacranom yes [05:14] sebsebseb: cool. thanks! [05:14] http://pastebin.com/d76f73197 [05:15] anacranom it just says no proprietary devices are in use on this syste, [05:15] bobdillon8686, what device do you have? [05:15] richie0: how big is your SWAP in GB? [05:15] Limey: Ive been working on that same problem for a few days now, Pain in the ass, You have to edit the FSTAB file. But in order to edit the file you have to open it up in root [05:15] i think you should rather reinstall with the new partition sizes if you ahvent dont much work, richie0 .. rather than trying to resize [05:15] atheros internal wireless.. worked awesome before i installed ndiswrapper.. [05:15] this laptop has an intel wifi 1000 bgn card. it works fine but the wireless button keeps flashing between ornage and blue. how do i fix this? [05:15] shouldnt have done that.. [05:15] Tek-586, where is fstab located? [05:15] bob,u need build wireless driver module for yourself...there is no verdor code for you in standard edition [05:15] i have a problem with irc over ubuntu 9.10 [05:15] like a 10 GB / and 2-4GB swap and the rest to /home [05:15] bobdillon8686, do sudo lshw -C network [05:15] got a weird problem of new start up apps disappearing from the list after I restart... [05:15] sebsebseb: my swap is 6 gigs. greezmonkey said to double my ram for the swap. [05:15] anybody? [05:15] limey: /etc/fstab [05:16] :s [05:16] 6 gigs is huge [05:16] richie0: normalley yes, but not always, well how much RAM you got? [05:16] that double the ram theory was from 10 years ago when people have 256MB ram or something [05:16] richie, its possible its flashing when its active and inactive? [05:16] sebsebseb: three gigs. [05:16] [05:16] aquafina: how much you think richie0 should have for SWAP? [05:16] 4.5 would be enough [05:16] Limey: Try this. Go to your Terminal and enter this gksudo gedit [05:16] hi guys, i have a file smppapi-0.3.9-javadoc.jar, i am using netbeans IDE, any one know how i would make the smppapi documentation available in my netbeans projects? [05:16] 6 iggs is huge?ehmm,should be if 10years ago [05:16] richie0: 6GB may be a bit big for SWAP in your case, but it will be ok [05:16] blue_: yeah. i think tthat's what it's doing. can i fix it? [05:17] sebsebseb: 2GB is more than enough, 4GB to stop thinking [05:17] whats to fix its flashinf to let you know your computer is sending or receiving data. [05:17] aquafina: to stop thinking? [05:17] Tek-586, i have fstab open in gedit [05:17] sebsebseb: i mean, its more than enough :p [05:17] i am so frustrated!! i have been using linux exclusivley since 2004 and this is the first problem i have ever had that i couldnt figure out with google [05:17] i never give swap more than 256 mb ... screw hibernation, it's not worth that much hdd space [05:17] bobdillon8686, do sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper [05:17] with 3 gb you ll probably never swap [05:17] Im just going off of my notes from info that the others here had given me [05:17] sebsebseb: sorry, my english is not very good. i have 4GB ram and i have a 2GB swap [05:18] bobdillon8686, try to boot off the cd and check to see what drivers ect its running then install them and you should be good to go. [05:18] blue_: oh. it didn't do it under window 7. i thought maybe it was a little bug under karmic. [05:18] richie0, I should have asked how much ram you had :) it won't hurt your system to have that big of a swap partition though. [05:18] give your ram to me and the prob is solved [05:18] bob,take apart ur wireless card..see chip... [05:18] Klett: its all about having enough swap to write the ram for hibernation [05:18] hmm [05:18] then ,this is a solution... [05:18] does hibernation work with you? [05:18] for how many of you does hibernate work with you? [05:18] dont hibernate? [05:18] i haven't got the courage to try [05:18] rofl, Klett asked it :) [05:18] Limey: Now here is the part I never understood, Have a look at this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab, [05:18] how to install opera using ubuntu repos [05:19] I have resolved several wireless driver issues [05:19] !opera | devD [05:19] devD: Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser.

[05:19] how to save my live usb configuration when i reboot ? [05:19] I would need to work on it again [05:20] is transmission a good torrent client to use? [05:20] what happened to /boot/grub/menu.lst? i used to delete 'quiet' and something else. [05:20] bobdillon8686, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sources.list [05:20] never used [05:20] richie0: it went to /etc/grub/grub.cfg and stuff [05:20] anacrom i did sudo lshw -C network and it says *-netowork UNCLAIMED and shows my wireless card [05:20] i think ktorrent is great [05:20] !grub2 | richie0 [05:20] richie0: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:20] devD,download opera,then tar it...see README...very similar to install nvidia drivers...easy~! [05:20] i already had it that way, ubottu. [05:20] sebner, but the link provided by ubottu does not show support for karmic. [05:21] aquafina: thanks! [05:21] er, richie0 it went to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:21] but coming from windows anything is great [05:21] sorry, not /tmp [05:21] or /etc [05:21] devD: the repos are probably a bit behind for Opera anyway [05:21] !info opera [05:21] Package opera does not exist in karmic [05:21] coofish, i want it from repos show I get updates too.

[05:22] devD: normalley it's best to only install stuff from the repo, however installing Opera from them, might be better [05:22] devD,don't count those silly developers...

[05:26] yes [05:26] limey [05:26] Limey: Yes make DIR [05:26] is it worth installing wicd if my card is working fine with nm-applet? [05:26] sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu [05:26] airtonix: i know, its just that ##java and #netbeans are as good as useless [05:26] ubuntu is silly enough.. it made too many modifacations...when problem come out,you can't overcome it easily...you will become more independent on developers [05:26] richie0: Probably not. Why do you want to install wicd? [05:27] limey: /media/AnyDir it is [05:27] osirisx11: if you still don't have sucess with your webcam, I once used Kopete's webcam settings and the changes even worked in skype.

[05:27] limey: 'vfat' is the Linux filesystem driver name for it. [05:27] ahhhh [05:27] nmvictor, so the real question is : what ubuntu packages can i install that let me create code documentation from my source code comments [05:27] ahh well, you live and learn [05:27] wgrant: i think coofish is some sort of bot talking random things [05:28] airtonix: maybe [05:28] kingbilly, valley: just opening the nvidia-settings and playing with the hue and putting it back at 0 (which it was already supposedly set at) fixed the issue! thanks [05:28] lock file? [05:28] aquafina: I think just a troll. [05:28] lol [05:28] nmvictor, if only you were using python... [05:28] yes, that too [05:28] EastDallas: the file that tells apt-get that its' in uses [05:28] osirisx11: *smile* [05:28] great!

[05:34] i've been desperately struggling with something for the past few days. I have two monitors and Jaunty decides whatever monitor i set to be on the left is primary monitor but I want the one on the right to be the primary. changing cables and xrandr do nothing for me. any help please?

[05:35] airtonix, no it is not [05:35] mMezquitale: i ran apt-get from the command line and it told me what to do, sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:35] lint, ok I am assuming you are running gnome? [05:35] EastDallas : I'll search, but no sure I can retrieve this cd :S [05:36] airtonix, yes [05:36] or you can download the deb package from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager-gnome_0.6.2-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb [05:36] cgkades, awesome [05:36] it is, i'll download it but as a java developer, i will still have to know how to use the tools available in java platform, the ant and javadoc. [05:36] mMezquitale: thanks for the help :) [05:36] lint, press alt+f2 then type : nautilus [05:36] hi ,erverybody, i m new here [05:36] lint, run "xev" in terminal, when you see the box pop up see what happens when you right click [05:36] Fandekasp: It's just easier [05:37] !hello | zhouyang [05:37] zhouyang: 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! [05:37] mMezquitale, i get some output in the terminal, none of it looks good [05:37] EastDallas : ok I got it :) [05:37] Fandekasp: or you can download the deb package from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager-gnome_0.6.2-0ubuntu7.1_i386.deb [05:37] thanks, hola , administrator [05:38] lint, mMezquitale if nautilus is not running then you won't get a "right click context menu" [05:38] Fandeskasp: I'm fairly new to Ubuntu myself, but one of the first things I discovered is get the deb whenever possible. [05:38] rawr_,u will keep to be desperate untill your video chip vendor makes drivers with more functions.or,u can change back to win [05:38] lint, mMezquitale from the desktop that is [05:38] coofish, last warning. stay on topic or you will be removed. [05:39] lint, "xev" is a utility that will help you figure out if your hardware is working or not, if you right click and xev picks up activity then it means the mouse is supported and working, it must be something in the software that is broken, as airtonix mentioned it looks like the issue is with nautilus [05:39] bazhang, why one more warning, its been an hour plus. just 86 them [05:39] bazhang,I was replying him...wot's wrong? [05:39] seriously first person to even acknoledge me [05:39] lint, first you need to work out if nautilus has frozen or if it is actually not even runnign at all. [05:39] lint, do you have icons on the desktop? [05:39] coofish, don't spread disinformation and recommend going back to windows. this is support only [05:40] riverbird, sorry was away for a bit [05:40] i know ,i know ,the irc is like a qq group [05:40] airtonix, no [05:41] zhouyang, here is support, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:41] airtonix, im suppoed to though, i enabled them in gconf editor [05:41] rawr_: I tried to run dual monitors with an ATI card, no success at all, so you're doing better than me. [05:41] lint, ok no icons, then in the terminal (as a test run) run nautilus [05:41] thanks [05:41] EastDallas, hrm my dual monitors worked out of the box no problem, i just need to simply set the one on the right as primary but is apparently impossible [05:41] lint, it should load up nautilus and display the desktop icons again... [05:41] hey, any one know how i would change the background of the source editor in netbeans and geany ? i have sight problems so i thing i would do with a dark background [05:42] EastDallas : ok my install said 0 update, 0 new install, 0 remove, 1 not up to date. Do you know how can I launch it ? Impossible to find it with the gui [05:42] airtonix, http://pastebin.com/m62f3da7c [05:42] that is the reply i get [05:43] lol,I do hope all ubuntu develepers make efforts to resolve and meet mr rawr_'s requirement...I only show light on root cause of problem...not like those advice of apt-get over and over again [05:43] Fandekasp: have you tried launching from a terminal? [05:44] hi [05:44] EastDallas : how can I do it ? If I start typing netw , then I press tab, nothing arrive [05:44] type network-manager [05:44] i havent nstalled linux for ages, I just installed and im surprised on how easier it is [05:44] lint, so no icons showed up? what was the last thing you modified or installed before this problem occured? [05:44] Fandekasp: type network-manager [05:44] but since when do windows and linux coexist [05:44] without partitionings [05:45] airtonix, not sure, i started up compiz-fusion [05:45] EastDallas : command not found [05:45] !info wubi | lewix [05:45] lewix: Package wubi does not exist in karmic [05:45] !wubi | lewix [05:45] lewix: 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. [05:45] Fandekasp: gnome-network-manager [05:45] Fandekasp: my bad [05:45] airtonix: thanks, so that's what's used on the default ubuntu installer [05:45] EastDallas : command not found :( [05:46] Fandekasp: nm-applet [05:46] lint, which version of ubuntu are you running , which type of video card are you using and what drivers are you using to power the card? [05:46] lewix, no [05:46] i read about the "major flaw" in the ubuntu guide. i was going to install 9.10 in his computer and still want too but i was wondering if anyone knows which hardware configurations are effected? i tested it on one of my dells and didn't notice a problem? [05:46] where can I get help for xchat? [05:46] EastDallas : ok I have an error, I type it to you [05:46] ok [05:46] airtonix: ? I installed it with the default settings and I dont see any change on my partitions [05:46] I strongly recoment those newbie download and nero installation disk.wubi is not a good start point at all. [05:46] Snossages: google [05:46] lewix, ubuntu installer is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity [05:47] hey anyone maybe help me with my mic? it's not working on skype tyring to talk to my gf in australia [05:47] well, the not-so-elegant solution to having to enter my password to connect to my wireless was to delete my ~/.gnome2/keyrings [05:47] lewix: the default Ubuntu installer is debian-installer. if you don;t boot the CD (like any normal OS install would require) and instead run the CD from Windows, you get Wubi. because that's what can run from withn Windows. [05:47] EastDallas : applet_dbus_manager_start_service() : Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 [05:47] lewix, wubi installs it on an image file on your ntfs drive [05:48] lint, have your turned compiz off yet? and returned to using metacity? does it allow you to restart nautilus properly? [05:48] .ban |wubi [05:48] the Ubuntu Guide says certain computers with particular configurations will "slow to a crawl and stop" with 9.10 ..does anyone know which type of computers are effected [05:48] .ban | coofish [05:48] [webcam] flash doesn't see my logitech webcam, but Cheese does, any ideas? [05:48] mMezquitale: what are you on about? [05:48] Balsaq: what do you mean by "the Ubuntu Guide"? [05:48] mMezquitale: What on earth are you doing? [05:48] !ot coofish [05:48] mMezquitale, actually coolfish has a point....wubi will only bring pain and suffering for upgrading [05:48] airtonix: ok i see. we're not talking about the same thing. how can i see my partitions [05:48] EastDallas : a ps aux | grep Network show me 3 process : NetworkManager, nm-system-settings and nm-system-settings.conf [05:49] mMezquitale, I always recommend clean installs [05:49] it is a 166 pg published document jrib, using the official ubuntu theme logo's [05:49] ubuntu's only advantage over debian is:hard disk installer can recognize image file in ntfs partation [05:49] Flannel, it was something along those lines [05:49] Balsaq: just the electrical ones [05:49] mMezquitale: please refrain [05:49] arghh2d2 hahahah [05:49] lewix, you want to see the partition from which ubuntu is running?

[05:49] ok, I know [05:49] Balsaq: my fault, I guess I was vague: what *exactly* do you mean by "the Ubuntu Guide"?

[05:50] osirisx11, try checking out gstreamer-propertie [05:50] lewix, have you tried fdisk -l in a terminal yet? or gpartd as a gui viewer? [05:50] osirisx11, properties* [05:50] i was thinking 500 gb would be more than enough ..one year ago [05:50] DasEi2: To get past the X11 Header/lib error you would run ./configure --x-includes=/usr/include --x-libraries=/usr/lib [05:50] Balsaq: ubuntuguide.org is not a trustworthy source of information imo. Use help.ubuntu.com [05:50] anyone know how i can boot a Unetbootin made live USB from grub2 ? [05:50] EastDallas : should I kill the networkmanager process ? [05:50] human being is greedy [05:50] Fandekasp: So it sounds like it's running, but you can't see it [05:50] jrib i googled Ubuntu Guide and printed a 166 document [05:50] Fandekasp: yes [05:50] ok [05:51] Psinetic: right click on the little speaker thing in the top right go to prefs [05:51] airtonix thanks [05:51] DasEi2: What I am trying to do is change the GLMatrix screen saver from Green to blue the color of it if you load the screen saver you should get what I mean but no worries im about to give up on it myself [05:51] Psinetic: it's in there somewhere [05:51] lewix, but if you want to see which partitions are mapped to which paths then you can look at the text file : /etc/fstab, also the text file /etc/mtab shows currently mounted partitions [05:51] Fandekasp: check your startup apps and see if there is an entry for network manager [05:51] jrib i hope you are right because i promote ubuntu at work and several people have asked me to install it, i have converted 3 so far [05:51] switch10_, well i can see how to edit it, but it doesn't give me the option to change devices, and the one it's selected isn't working [05:52] Fandekasp: System>Preferences>Startup Applications [05:52] Balsaq++ [05:52] Balsaq: help.ubuntu.com is official documentation with additional links to community documentation [05:52] ok [05:52] !notes > Balsaq [05:52] Balsaq, please see my private message [05:52] anyone know how i can boot a Unetbootin made live USB from grub2 ?

[05:52] EastDallas : It's not in it [05:52] wgrant some people tell that Firefox on Ubuntu needs about 2seconds to start and 5-15 seconds on every other distribution [05:53] Vamp898, no, if you want to speed firefox up wu'll need to mount a portion of ram as a drive and store the sqlite dbase firefox uses on that ramdrive [05:53] Fandekasp: \Add an entry [05:53] Fandekasp: Name: Network Manager [05:53] so I add name : NetworkManager ; command : gnome-network-manager [05:53] agree with airtonix [05:53] jrig bummer i printed all 166 pages and put them in a binder...it looks EXACTLY like ubuntu documentation [05:53] Fandekasp: Command nm-applet --sm-disable [05:53] ok [05:54] hi. what's the default CD player app for ubuntu?

I'm now rebooting [05:55] Vamp898,so many options in browser...just try one by one [05:55] quitenormal, i've been liking Exaile recently [05:55] Balsaq: as I said, use help.ubuntu.com .

[06:06] i guess dmraid is replaced with mdadm? [06:06] crashdata, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 [06:06] Guys, please take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, so this channel can stay clear for support requests, thanks. [06:07] Fandekasp: I'm running out of ideas, the only thing I can suggest any further is that you try installing WiCD a network manager alternative [06:07] Fandekasp: you can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wicd/files/wicd-stable/wicd-1.5.9/wicd_1.5.9_all.deb/download [06:07] ubuntuisloved: thanks man [06:07] why dont welcome me? [06:07] coofish people who are not computer savvy run into problems with virus on windows....has been my experience and buntu stills seems immune too me, so ithink that gives buntu the edge but both are good [06:07] WiCD vs gnome network manager? [06:07] which one is better? [06:08] ehmm,win registry is silly .while,I can't agree with you on virus.linux can't be infected when users increase.. [06:08] gnome network manager i like better [06:08] DOOM: You decide. [06:08] coofish, Balsaq: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [06:08] lol [06:08] Doom: I've only used WiCD when I couldn't get Knetworkmanager to work, but it worked fine. [06:08] o [06:09] EastDallas : ok I've it. How can I install a .deb package ? === lipsinV21 is now known as lipsinV2 [06:09] hi [06:09] Fandekasp, u can do this instead.... sudo aptitiude install wicd. [06:09] it'll remove old net mgr and install wicd automatic [06:09] Fandekasp: just double click on it to run, or right click and run with /usr/bin/gkdebi [06:09] oh ok [06:09] either or :) [06:09] Beezie: he has no internet on that machine [06:09] EastDallas, ahhh [06:10] Repeating my question since the last reply I got was obviously wrong, I'm just checking something. How do I update the kernel on a Ubuntu Live USB image? [06:10] EastDallas : There is a problem because of network-manager :S [06:10] while change channel over and over again?my princple is:make full use of most easily-accessed resource. ;) [06:10] EastDallas : should I aptitude remove network-manager ? [06:11] :@ [06:11] Fandekasp: you may have to 'sudo apt-get remove gnome-network-manager' first [06:11] EastDallas, Then what good is a network manager install going to do. Bring up the interface manually then fix it with apt??? right. [06:11] coofish: This channel is for support only.

[06:15] ubuntuisloved, ok i'm trying to mount my ntfs drive....but i cant being its on a fake raid (nvidia raid) I understand that i can enable it using mdadm then mount it...

[06:15] it doesnt recognize the stuff i already downloaded [06:16] greezmunkey : sudo aptitude remove gnome-network-manager . 0 remove, but 1 not up to date (don't understand why) [06:16] ubuntuisloved, i just need a guide on how to do this...if u could point me to the right direction that would be great [06:16] mixmatch3, i dont remember testing wireless on it mixmatch3. been awhile.. but i did find several forums(at the time) that had others installing it and it really helped me [06:16] crashdata, which raid type is this ?

[06:19] Fandekasp, cool, at least we are on the same page now. Is the connection you are trying to set up wired (Ethernet) or wireless? [06:19] Fandekasp: It has to be NetworkManager not networkmanager [06:19] mixmatch3, sorry you lost me [06:19] my login screen was in rich shit-brown colors until today. After today's updates it's plain grau, what the hell?! [06:19] xjjk its so down [06:19] greezmunkey : Perhaps I'm wrong, but it looks like if network manager is always installed, I can't remove it, but it doesn't work and I can't see it anywhere [06:19] xjjk: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [06:19] EastDallas : lol ok I retry [06:20] crashdata,,do you worry about ext filesystem crash?lol...keep so many ntfs and win7 [06:20] ubuntuisloved, yah i read it it was one of the link from the first url that u gave me [06:20] Fandekasp: I think that's my bad.

[06:26] crashdata, im not sure there is a solution but the issue is the same [06:26] i use a fresh install off ubuntu 9.10 [06:26] Fandekasp, there are a few steps left.

[06:32] airwalker, does it happen with other bittorrent clients? such as deluge, transmission.

[06:40] Beezie : I've logged out then logged in, but no network manager is in the top of the screen [06:41] Beezie: under multimedia? [06:41] greezmunkey: I believe that is the actual command to launch the panel applet. [06:41] t0mt0m, system > prefs > sound [06:41] Fandekasp, no idea. i use wicd. [06:41] is there any program to view files in raw format ? [06:41] ok lol [06:42] or that they would search for possible encoding [06:42] i found wicd gave me much less hassles Fandekasp [06:42] I don't have a prefs menu under system [06:42] furythor, man file [06:42] greezmunkey : what should I do now to get the icon, according to you ?

[07:16] mgi: maybe not, but your not meant to get 10.04 help in here, untill the final has been released, and whilst it's still supported [07:16] chadi, i know. i said the guided partitioner will advise sizes.. i recall it was 60/40 win/linux [07:16] well i was expecting to have a 50GB partition for Ubuntu as I use windows about 3/4 of the time [07:17] ok, thanks.... [07:17] chadi, if you dont intend to dump a ton of files on /home then 50 is fine for ubuntu :) [07:17] mgi: you can install the old version of Grub into 9.10/10.04 that might work better [07:18] can someone verify for me that packages.ubuntu.com is down?

[07:18] kindofabuzz, backing up /home and wiping it.. in my opinion [07:18] kindofabuzz: Just installing the right package(s) is fine. You'll also want to move from -server to -generic probably [07:19] older version of ubuntu.. maybe 8? [07:19] oh yeah forgot about the kernal [07:19] kindofabuzz: depends what you mean by "better off"... installing ubuntu-desktop is probably fine [07:19] mgi: oh right try 9.04 [07:19] Beezie: fine, I'll go 50. I plan to have my everyday files in the NTFS win7 partition... [07:19] if you know how to [07:19] mgi: I think [07:19] mgi: you get the older version of Grub by default in 9.04, it's still a good release, and support runs out in October I think or around then [07:19] chadi, good plan. i think ubuntu can read/write win7 ntfs(but i never tried) so u can access win7 files if needed... [07:20] ntfs is different in win7? [07:20] hmm, alright.. I'll check it out [07:20] mgi: plus 10.04 final is out at the end of April, which you should then do a clean install of really, if doing 9.04, or a 9.10 that wasn't a clean install even [07:20] kindofabuzz, im not saying it is, but i wont be surprised if it is [07:20] gnome-power-cmd hibernate doesn't work but gnome-power-cmd suspend does in terminal? [07:20] Beezie: yeah they probably came up with some new MS only file feature [07:20] kindofabuzz, ive heard of some people hosing their win7 installations by using older partition magic...nothing to do with linux. [07:21] kindofabuzz: backwards compat? [07:21] so you're saying I should favour installing 10.04 when it's out rather than 9.04 or 9.10? [07:21] on my desktop, i have 320GB of storage, I have a 50GB partition for windows and a 50GB partition for Ubuntu and swap, then the rest is a storage used for both. But I would not like to mess with my new laptop :P [07:21] chadi, is there a factory restore partition on that laptop? [07:21] mgi: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04 good idea to md5sum/sha1sum or both the ISO if you download from FTP/HTTP one of those files is the code it needs to be. if you get from torrent it's probably ok [07:21] !md5sum > mgi [07:21] mgi, please see my private message [07:21] Beezie yes, but I don't know how it works :P [07:22] thanks [07:22] chadi, do you have an external usb drive or network you can access? if so i strongly advise doing a complete image of your pc before you even tackle this. i suggest this because it is a major headache IF it goes wrong..... [07:22] but I have it there and I'm "advised" not to touch it [07:22] mgi: np and enjoy 9.04 :) [07:23] Beezie yeah! you reminded me, I was going to ask how this can be done [07:23] yeeees.. thanks.. :) I just hope it has the modules I need for my tv cards [07:23] chadi: why? [07:23] I suppose I can install the latest kernel no matter what release of ubuntu I have [07:23] chadi, several ways. i have acronis(from work) so i image machines with that [07:24] Beezie thanks, i'll give it a try :) - phix why not?

[09:01] Including VLC, which I use for just about everything. [09:01] Now, see, I've already got the CSS thingy installed. [09:01] MrSchaapman: you did install the decss stuff from medibuntu repos? [09:01] MrSchaapman: has it been like this always [09:01] !dvd | MrSchaapman [09:01] MrSchaapman: 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 [09:01] run the players from command line. look for error messages [09:02] meowbuntu: come to #kubuntu [09:03] excuse me i have seahorse install but how come cant i right click on a file to encrypt it [09:03] cheeko, y is that i use ubuntu not kubuntu [09:04] how can i encrypt files with gpg in ubuntu [09:04] via the gnome interface [09:04] i used to be able to right click on a file and select encrypt [09:05] how do I access iphone and upload movie ? [09:05] or app [09:05] Okay, I followed ubottu's instructions, still nothing. [09:05] It'll play in VLC, but audio only for some reason. [09:06] MrSchaapman, That first link tells you exactly what you need to do [09:06] anyone out there can help me. i fiind that if i open more than one application my computer lags freezs interminently for ??? length of time. and plays up. [09:06] cheeko: Yes, it's been like this always, but always is about a week, since it's a brand new laptop. [09:06] MrSchaapman, you need to install libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repos === mind is now known as Guest57107 [09:06] syn-ack he already installed it [09:06] syn-ack: I done that. [09:07] ah [09:07] anyone out there can help me. i fiind that if i open more than one application my computer lags freezs interminently for ??? length of time. and plays up. got pentium 4 with 768mb ram and 1.8mhz cpu. other things that also happen when i try to play music it plays ok for few minuts then cpu maxes out and sound stops while player counter speeds up or and jumpy music etc [09:07] Sorry, I ironically have a moving going and got distracted. :P [09:07] I think it was actually libdvdcss4 that I installed, since that's what the directions said to do. [09:07] I'm using karmic, if that helps. [09:07] !iphone [09:07] 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 [09:07] MrSchaapman libdvdcss-1.2.10 is the newest libdvdcss [09:07] Alright, I'm confused. [09:08] runing media players from the terminal and trying to play somthing - normally gives some info in the terminal about why playback fails. [09:08] What do I need to install? [09:08] good morning, any rEFIt bootloader knowledge available here? I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 but my rEFIt has an extra step in it before I can start Ubuntu..... [09:08] Am I going to have to add a new repo? 'Cause I didn't. Whatever I installed was in one of the repos that was already available when I first installed Ubuntu. [09:08] anyone? freeradius? [09:09] how do i use gpg in gnome? [09:09] http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.10-0.3medibuntu1_i386.deb [09:10] or http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.10-0.3medibuntu1_amd64.deb [09:10] or .... apt://libdvdcss2 [09:10] MrSchaapman: medibuntu repos are not enabled by default. [09:10] Okay. [09:11] Man Beverly D'angelo is still hot [09:11] how do i get gpg integrated into gnomes file operations [09:11] Sorry about that [09:11] so when i right click a file it has an option to encrypt [09:11] what package do i need to install for that functionality [09:11] ? [09:11] Dr_Willis: It says a later version is already installed. [09:12] THere is no later version that i am aware of. use synaptic and see exactly what it installed and from where. [09:12] What should I search for? Anything with libdvd in it? [09:12] sounds like a plan to me [09:12] libdvdcss [09:13] Thats what I'd do since well yeah [09:13] libdvdread4, libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4. [09:14] Well, then, that settles that [09:14] glick, pretty sure gpg is already installed by default [09:14] have you set up your key? [09:14] * Dr_Willis pops in a dvd video [09:15] MrSchaapman, So all you're getting is sound out of *any* media player you use? [09:15] holmser, yeah i think so [09:15] MPlayer and Totem won't play it at all. [09:15] holmser, but when i right click on a file i dont see it as an option [09:15] MrShaapman VLC! [09:15] MrSchaapman, Which gstreamer plugins do you have installed? [09:15] hmm [09:15] They both just come up with error messages saying it can't be done. [09:15] VLC just gives me audio. [09:16] Lemme check. [09:16] MrSchaapman, and have debugged thru the console? [09:16] run ---> vlc dvd:// [09:16] and look for error messages in the info messages [09:16] Okay. [09:16] libmpeg2: invalid picture encountered. [09:17] o.0; [09:17] You did also install the w32codecs? and perhaps ubuntu-restricted-extras (just because it may have somthing you need) [09:17] hey guys/girls how do you get x to start automaticlly? Have a guy that was doing a update and his laptop crashed now it doesnt boot into x unless he types startx [09:18] I have the restricted extras installed. [09:18] I have karmic installed on a flash drive. Is it possible to install it from that to my harddrive (and keep settings and applications) or will I need the CD to do that? [09:18] blue_: gdm service is supposed to start automatically and allow the login to X. what version of ubuntu is he using? [09:18] Don't know about w32codecs. [09:18] how can i get the encryt/decrypt options on my gnome file operations when i right click on a file? [09:18] 9.10 [09:18] rwparris2: depends on how you 'installed' it to the flash drive [09:18] MrSchaapman, Are these disks self burned by chance? [09:19] Hello [09:19] it's like, "oops, hey, something annoying but not dangerous is happening to your OS! what do you want to do about it? ignore it and deal with it? Fix it? Reinstall?".....fix it...."Ok, so let's go throught he 2,645,865,321,765,214,643,211 step process in order to fix it, hope you know your unix commands!" [09:19] glick, seahorse is what you're looking for [09:19] holmser, seahorse is instaled [09:19] can someone help me with some gcc issues [09:19] Dr_Willis: From the live CD I clicked install and then chose the flash drive as my installation drive. [09:19] Whoa! Hey! [09:19] MrSchaapman, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1334363.html [09:20] Okay, it's running, but it's very choppy. [09:20] belay my last comment >_> [09:20] Hello? [09:20] The menu ran for several minutes, audio only, before it finally came up looking all funky. Most of the screen was green. [09:20] run it glick [09:20] Now the movie is playing... but not very well. [09:20] holmser, yeah i can see my key [09:20] I need help? [09:20] MrSchaapman, Everything that I'm pulling up is pointing to a bad decoder [09:20] MrSchaapman, which is libdvdcss2 [09:21] Beg pardon? [09:21] Dr_Willis its karmic im not a nix god or anything just trying to help him out is there a way to clean up whatever update broke it? Would a update of Gnome or kde fix it? [09:21] blue_: No idea. he could alway sjust try a 'sudo apg-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [09:22] I love how this is to be a help place but I receive no help [09:22] MrSchaapman, For the issue you're having.... everything I'm pulling up online is pointing to a bad decrypter [09:22] rwparris2: sounds like you did a 'normal' install to the flash drive. I dont think you can install from that to another location then [09:22] haha supergate [09:22] syn-ack: im having a similer issue here also it seems [09:22] [0x3907b48] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered [09:22] ty Dr_Willis [09:22] Dr_Willis, hrm [09:22] My movies play just fine in Totem [09:23] syn-ack: and i just installed the dvdnav and dvddecss stuff.. [09:23] not tried totem yet. [09:23] Totem does not plays DVD really fine :/ [09:23] uh.. why are my /dev/cd* and /dev/dvd*'s symlinks to /dev/hda? [09:23] Vamp898 sure it does [09:23] My Rammstein - Völkerball does not work in any way with Totem [09:23] i come to the main menu [09:23] supergate dont just ask for help 10 times state your question some one might know the answer if you ask. [09:23] and cant clickt anywhere [09:23] totem says i dont have permissiosn to access the disk. .and gives some other messages in the output [09:23] I had stated already that it was gcc related [09:24] Dr_Willis, Maybe Group permissions? [09:24] I'm trying to reinstall libdvdcss2 from the repo you pointed me to. [09:24] I'll let you know how it goes. [09:24] supergate but what regarding gcc whats the issue? [09:24] Orion777, === ghost is now known as Guest77554 [09:24] yeah? [09:25] just a standard oh lets say, Hello World program fails to compile, says that there is no such file/directory of stdio.h [09:25] when I use the #include [09:25] syn-ack: if i run totem from terminal - it wont play the dvd.. If i let the 'auto play' feature of gnomd launch the totem player. it DOES play the dvd [09:25] syn-ack: :) [09:25] hahaha [09:25] never had this problem before with ubuntu 7.10 or slackware [09:25] wtf is that noise [09:25] Nah, no good. [09:26] supergate: you did install the build-essential package and the proper -dev files? [09:26] how come seahorse isnt integrated into my nautilous [09:26] ? [09:26] I should have, I did a full install [09:26] with the programming packages and crap [09:27] supergate: try using #include [09:27] supergate: a 'full' install how? a normal ubuntu install does not include the stuff. [09:27] try a 'locate stdio.h' [09:27] Dr_Willis: lol sorry, I was thinking of slackware [09:27] locate stdio.h [09:27] /usr/include/stdio.h [09:28] glick, install "seahorse-plugins" [09:28] even when I sudo apt-get install build-essential, still have the same errors [09:28] hmm [09:28] I don't know if maybe the fact that the video is all choppy has to do with my graphics card...? [09:28] It is integrated. [09:28] test.c:1:17: error: stdio: No such file or directory [09:28] Still, I think it would be able to handle SD video. [09:28] MrSchaapman, Which card? [09:28] i messed up and tried to dualboot win7 with ubuntu... i installed win7 after ubuntu and overwrote the grub.. i have restored grub by following the forum but cannot get windows to show up in grub [09:29] what is seahorse? [09:29] karma_police_: in theory - on ubuntuy - when you run 'update-grub' it should see/add windows to the menus. [09:29] karma_police_: this is ubuntu 9.10? [09:29] yes [09:30] blue_ A GNOME application for managing encryption keys [09:30] syn-ack, do i have to restart gnome for it to take effect? [09:30] glick, Probably, I'm not sure [09:30] blue_: Seahorse is a GNOME application for managing encryption keys [09:30] glick, It'd probably be safe to log out and log back in [09:30] syn-ack: NOW vlc plays the dvd disk.... [09:30] syn-ack: i wonder if the decss stuff some how generated a key [09:30] Dr_Willis, how? [09:30] ran update grub.. just reboot and its fixed? [09:31] Dr_Willis, Doubtful [09:31] syn-ack: well theres now a .dvdcss directory with stuff in it. I diddnet notice befor [09:31] Dr_Willis, its not like its Blu-Ray where you have a keyserver and such, its one key per region [09:31] lets try removeing that and see... [09:32] whats the shortcut to restart x? [09:32] Dr_Willis i ran update-grub.. with a reboot solve this or are there other steps to take? [09:32] ctrl alt backspace? [09:32] ALT + PRINT + K [09:32] holmser, nop [09:32] Vamp898, which is silly. I re-enable zapping all the time [09:32] karma_police_: did the update-grub output mention windows? [09:33] >.< I give up for the night [09:33] yes it did.. said it found it [09:33] Leave it an emacs user to complain about it... [09:33] I'm going to sleep now. [09:33] syn-ack me not beceause alt + print + k killes more than just Xorg ;) [09:33] I'll deal with this later. [09:33] thanks syn-ack [09:34] Vamp898, if I need my SysReq keys I use them, but if I'm zapping X thats all I need to do... nothing more nothing less [09:34] there we go... seahorse plugins and a restart did it [09:34] Dr_Willis it said it Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sdb2 [09:34] along with a bunch of other info [09:35] Vamp898, imo its no more dangerous than using the System Request keys anyway [09:35] karma_police_: reboot and see if it does it then. Od that windows is on sdb2... must be a recovery partition on sdb1 [09:35] syn-ack thats not what i mean, but alt + print + k can even work whan zapping does not more ;) [09:35] i made the mistake of installing windows after installing ubuntu.. had to rebuild grub.. maybe thats why? [09:35] Vamp898, which is why I said "IF" I need them. :P [09:35] i'll brb.... rebooting [09:36] I think I'm going to have one more smoke then head to bed. [09:36] alright, odd; i was just watching an embedded video in firefox using mozilla-mplayer, was working perfectly; Then the machine froze and had to hard reboot, now, mplayer plugin still plays video fine, but theres NO audio in firefox whatsoever. Sound works fine in everything else though.. any ideas? [09:36] later guys [09:39] why doesn't ctrl alt backspace reboot x anymore? [09:39] holmser beceause they changed it xD [09:39] I know... can't be messing with my shortcuts [09:39] lol [09:39] anyone out there can help me. i fiind that if i open more than one application my computer lags freezs interminently for ??? length of time. and plays up. got pentium 4 with 768mb ram and 1.8mhz cpu. other things that also happen when i try to play music it plays ok for few minuts then cpu maxes out and sound stops while player counter speeds up or and jumpy music etc [09:39] !dontzap | holmser [09:39] holmser: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [09:40] dontzap?

And i am a newbie to ubuntu, and actually have no idea about how this works... [10:00] Hello, I have a problem where I keep getting 'Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode'. Now, I tried "recovery mode", but ubuntu seems to have grub broken so there is no single user mode (providing 'init=/bin/bash' as kernel parameter doesn't do anything, or does appending a '1' on the kernel line). Anyway, I renamed all init scripts related to X, but still I can't get ubuntu to *not run* this stupid utility [10:00] THe thing is, I know X works, because yesterday I had the same problem, I did the renaming, and then it Just Worked [10:00] guys, has anyone of u noticed a sluggish behavior in FireFox when switching from one tab to another??? [10:01] of course, upon the last updates [10:01] NOw the init "scripts" (they are stupid symlinks so you can't change permissions, gaaah) are still renamed, but I keep getting this retardation of 'low graphics mode' [10:01] What can I do? [10:02] This utility has optinos like 'login to the terminal' and 'recover your X configuration' and whatever, but none of them work [10:02] options* [10:03] I simply cannot fathom why it spawns this stupid broken utitlity that doesn't seem to be disablalbe, but doesn't spawn a terminal. I keep having to reboot using a livecd, and I don't know how to solve it [10:03] cool story bro [10:03] How can I get the faac library in Ubuntu? [10:03] Yeah, thanks. I'm incredibly annoyed [10:03] JNSamuel: :D [10:04] libfaac0 - an AAC audio encoder - library files [10:04] I just cannot understand how the ubuntu guys managed to screw up the init system so bad [10:04] Init system is slowly getting replaced by upstart. [10:04] But really, I'm not here to bitch, I really want to solve this problem, and I have no idea how. 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' didn't do the trick [10:05] Dr_Willis, yeah, not for the better [10:05] eggy_: thats debateable.. and has been debated in the forums [10:05] Dr_Willis, sounds likely, but it uses symlinks to a script that does the dispatch pased on the basename [10:06] Dr_Willis, but you can't change permissions of symlinks, so all you can do is rename or remove [10:06] Dr_Willis, anyways, any idea how can I disable this 'low-graphics' utility? [10:06] Im not evne sure what your origial problem is/was [10:07] Dr_Willis, well, when I start ubuntu I get 'ubuntu is running in low graphics mode', and you can't do anything with that utility, and you can't get to the terminal [10:07] But I *know* my x server is working (because yesterday (and the day before) I had the same problem and somehow fixed it, but just for one session) [10:07] Running apt-get update I get "W: GPG error: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key ". How can I fix this? [10:08] Dr_Willis, why don't we have good old runlevel 1 and 3 :( [10:09] so when you 'startx' it warns about being in low graphics mode? [10:09] Hi Does anyone know how to install yum server on ubuntu 9.04 [10:09] satya1: whats 'yum' ? [10:09] Dr_Willis, no, startx worked last time I managed to get on the terminal without this utility [10:09] Dr_Willis, its suse version of apt [10:10] Dr_Willis, but the problem is, I can't get to the terminal, in any way [10:10] airtonix: thats the only Yum i know pof also... but satya1 may mean some other Yum [10:10] dr_willis: it includes all packages [10:10] eggy_: disable the gdm service perhaps. [10:10] Hi everyon [10:10] satya1: you are not making much sence. Why do you want to use the Suse/Yum/RPM package sstem on ubuntu? [10:11] Dr_Willis, I disabled gdm and kdm [10:11] Dr_Willis, at least, I renamed them, I'm not sure how to disable them properly [10:11] eggy_: on 9.10 you move/remove the /etc/init/???dm?? file i belive [10:11] I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on Ubuntu 9.10 and when I click on the feed button in the address, I can open or download the feed instead of being shown a preview. I'm running -safe-mode and get the same behavior. Click on the button, choose "Subscribe to the Bla Atom/RSS..." but then I get the open dialog. [10:12] When I check my preferences, I do see the entry that says feeds should be handled by Preview in Firefox. [10:12] /etc/init/gdm.conf [10:12] What can I do? Some MIME entry missing somewhere? [10:12] Hi! I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and the connect system call doesn't work [10:12] Dr_Willis, I moved /etc/init.d/kdm and a bunch of other things like 'x11-common' [10:12] It always gives a network unreachable error [10:12] eggy_: gdm/kdm are no longer handled by the init.d system. Its handled by upstart. Those files in init.d never get used. [10:12] hi [10:13] Dr_Willis, aaah, I see, so I need to care about /etc/init, ok [10:13] Could anyone please tell me how to make the connect system call work? [10:13] monk, man 2 connect [10:13] salut [10:13] eggy_: yep. and as time goes on /etc/rc2.d will get emptier and emptier... thats teh only 'rc#.d' location that matters by default I belive [10:14] les fow sont l'une de mes dernieres occupations dans ces cas la xD [10:14] Dr_Willis, I see. Is upstart why runlevel 1 and 3 are broken (i.e., nonexistent)? [10:14] merde [10:14] canal^^" [10:14] eggy_: ubuntu hasent used the different runlevels stuff except for 0,2,6 for ages. [10:14] !runlevels [10:14] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [10:14] Dr_Willis, troublesome, so how do we boot into single user mode? [10:15] oops 0 1 6. Hmm perhaps its rc1.d thats used now [10:15] eggy_: i got a 'single' user mode in my grub menus. [10:15] Dr_Willis : I would like to configure Apache webserver on my home dekstop.. [10:15] Dr_Willis: you were right, 0,1,6, AND 2 [10:15] i need help with flashpolicyd [10:15] linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic root=UUID=bdddbfdb-58e7-49d0-91b8-f3df42e4b41b ro single [10:15] Dr_Willis, aah, 'single'. I tried '1' [10:16] Dr_Willis, and I tried init=/bin/bash which seemed to do nothing [10:16] satya1: so... Install apache and get to work. What does this have to do with Yum? [10:16] Dr_Willis : i want to configure a single site with .www.example.com name at some ipaddress [10:16] Yeah I tried the man pages for connect [10:16] But there's no specific instruction there as to why it doesn't work only in Ubuntu [10:16] I always get a network unreachable error [10:16] Even when my firewall is not enabled [10:17] monk, so the problem is not related to connect, but it's a general network problem [10:17] eggy_: could be with grub2/9.10 they got rid of the 1, but ive never noticed. ive done the init=stuff in the past also.. but perhaps thatss also been phased out. [10:17] monk, you'll need to fix that [10:17] eggy_: ive not had to try it in ages. [10:17] satya1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [10:18] Dr_Willis, count yourself lucky then :). anyway, thanks a bunchload for the help, my usual linux tricks just weren't working out because of all the changes [10:18] eggy_: all the changes happen in the relse befor the next LTS. :) people dont seem to realize that. Toss the new stuff in Now to get it worked out for the next LTS. [10:18] Dr_Willis, /etc/init seems to contain a lot of 'conf' files, are those the init scripts? [10:19] hi all, I need to be able to re-image some remote machines with no intervention, any ideas - (rsync, zsync, compressed image of the partition, virtualbox image file????) whats the best way. [10:19] buon giorno e la prima volta x me [10:19] eggy_: those are upstart conf scripts. :) not really scripts.. and im not sure of the proper way to 'disable' a service in upstart. other then move one of those scripts. [10:19] actually the use of the term 'script' is wrong.. they are NOT scripts.. they are config files used by the upstart system [10:19] Dr_Willis, ah, I see. Ok, moving it is :) [10:19] eggy_ i believe it is a transition, the old runlevels would spawn the /etc/init.d now upstart spawns them [10:19] hello, i need help with flashpolicyd. can anyone help? [10:20] italian ??? [10:20] eggy_: Yep. upstart has potential. and no i dont know 1/10th of the stuff about upstart...

They explained me about configuration of FTP, Samba , NFS, Master DNS server with the help on Yum server .. [10:23] Dr_Willis, oh, I see.

[10:23] like xdm or edm? [10:23] XXXdm :) [10:23] hi there, how do I edit the grub list in 9.10 to remove unwanted elements from the list?

(carefully remove them) [10:24] tobiasz: then rerun update-grub [10:24] Dr_Willis from synaptic? [10:24] the 'computer janitor' tool. or synaptic.. yes... [10:24] satya1, because ubuntu is debian based therefore uses DEB files, and Red Hat is using RPMs... [10:24] I would always leave at least 2 kernels...

I rarely worry about the kernel files. [10:26] tobiasz: try system-> admin -> computer janitor. [10:26] Dr_Willis, yeah, it works now, and I can just do 'startx' and I get a working KDE. kdm also works. This failsafe utility is preposterously broken [10:26] tobiasz: be VERY carefull with computer-janotir.. it likes to remove too much [10:26] Dr_Willis, should I file a bug report? [10:26] Hi... I'm trying to install libgtk2.0-dev but Synaptic Package Manager can't find all necessary dependencies. I get the following errors: http://pastebin.com/mcf8f61b [10:26] any idea how I can fix? [10:27] satya1, i just know your situation will be easier if you put this RHEL knowledge into action via a virtual machine [10:27] eggy_: sure why not.. ive never seen seen/used the failsafe tool. [10:27] satya1, rather than try to lobotomise your ubuntu desktop install [10:27] Dr_Willis, okido.

[10:47] meowbuntu: you could just make a /home/Username/bin dir and put the scripts in there. they will work for your single user. [10:47] aivaras: fwiw, there's a compiz plugin that does the alt+tab stuff exactly like that folder preview [10:47] a silly question, but would the install for ubuntu and xubuntu be the same ? im sssuming so as the main difference is the desktop environment, yes ? [10:47] Dr_Willis, meowbuntu yep this is where i have my user-land binaries [10:47] airtonix, with your terminal command ^ where does that put inxi [10:48] NerveClasp: add a proper entry for them in /etc/fstab - install/running the tool 'ntfs-config' might auto-add the proper entry for you [10:48] meowbuntu, where ever you run it from, ie : i did that while at ~/Desktop [10:48] o i c [10:48] airtonix: A good practice is to create ~/bin and add it to your path and put things like inxi there [10:48] how to load ppolicy module ?

[11:00] erUSUL: lshw -c: http://pastie.org/740185 lspci: http://pastie.org/740186 [11:00] * Dr_Willis points out that he has about a 30 sec attention span.. if it scrolls past the top of the screen.. its history [11:00] meowbuntu: or do a 'source .profile' how Dr_Willis [11:01] Newbie-Widget: ive seen some disrtos that have that for their specific disrtos [11:01] meowbuntu: you just did it.. 'source .profile' is the answer.... [11:01] thats why i put it in quotes. :) [11:01] Dr_Willis's memory is history.. [11:01] Dr_Willis, type that in terminal [11:02] cool, do you think it would be possible to bot that distro, but then load from usb cd drive to install a different distro ? [11:02] meowbuntu: try it and see.. yes... [11:02] nothing happens Dr_Willis [11:02] back again! [11:02] meowbuntu: it sourced the .profile config.. what did you expect to happen? lights and fireworks? [11:02] meowbuntu: try 'echo $PATH' now and seew what your path is [11:03] echo $PATH [11:03] /home/willis/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [11:03] meowbuntu, ~/.profile will be a text file. this is mine : http://pastebin.com/f36c9cf40 [11:03] do u guys think ubuntu is hot - as in really hot [11:03] compared to win 7 [11:03] thevishy: hot linux chix hot? or Hot Peper Hot.. [11:03] thevishy: i could have sex with it if my internet on the baseunit worked [11:03] Win7 is 'hype' not 'hot' :) [11:03] quick question for anyone; checked in forums and couldn't find much; woke up and heard my karmic server's hard drive going, ran a ps aux over ssh and found this process running on root "dd bs=1 if=/pro" any reason why this would be running automatically during the night? [11:03] he he [11:04] thevishy is a retarded troll [11:04] ignore him [11:04] i mean really HOT , heating :) [11:04] Hi, I'm trying to relocate my BIND9 slave over to Ubuntu. It runs without errors, but it doesn't seem to sync up to the master. How do I find out what's wrong? I don't see much in /var/log/messages. Here's my named.conf files: http://pastie.org/740190 [11:04] I know dd and bs=1, not familiar with the if=/pro and why it would be running on its own [11:04] cmdshftn: you sure that dident get truncated... [11:04] hi [11:04] thevishy: You can cook food on the operativsystem [11:04] is there a way to make aptitude do a full-upgrade in batch mode? aptitude -y full-upgrade does it to some extent but if there's a daemon update, like samba, it asks whether or not to keep the config file which will screw everything up... is there a way to make it always take the default action? [11:04] cmdshftn, sure its if=/pro and not if=/proc ? [11:04] cmdshftn: nope, someone has rogered your box [11:04] I think it did, assume if=/proc [11:04] my PC is getting very hot in ubuntu while in windows I can manage ...actually this has been happening for past 2 ays [11:04] days* [11:05] cmdshftn: dd bs=1 if=/proc/kmsg of=/var/run/rsyslog/kmsg [11:05] cmdshftn: is normal [11:05] thevishy: what's your cpu usage? [11:05] erUSUL: Can you help me now? [11:05] Dr_Willis: that process is normal? what is it doing? [11:05] Dr_Willis: it is? how curious [11:05] cmdshftn: its doing some logging work if i recall. [11:06] still not able to get the correct resolution on my screen. It used to work before, but after reinstalling the system everything is wrong. I remember someone in here helped me the first time I got ubuntu, but I don't remember what we did. I think it was something with modelines. Here is a copy of xorg.conf and .log: http://pastebin.com/m66182141 [11:06] naoshige: i have no experience with bind servers sorry [11:06] nm, brain is starting to work and I understand; logging [11:06] erUSUL: have you checked out the pastes? [11:06] airtonix, whats it for [11:06] do [11:06] Mewses: doing now... [11:06] I have two audio devices, one that i use which is onboard, and the other that i don't use that came with the graphics card, I think that the graphics card's audio device is causing problems, so I'd like to remove / disable it. In alsamixer i can't even get to my real audio device because the useless one always shows. [11:06] ok. [11:06] frogzoo: I'm hoping that this box isn't compromised as I don't have it exposed to external network right now [11:06] Does anyone know how? [11:07] cmdshftn, dd (convert and copy file ) bs=1 (read and write bytes at a time) if=/proc (read from file instead of stdin) [11:07] thanks all for quick response! [11:07] CPU usage is like 5-20 % [11:07] ath_: thers the pavucontrol command you may want to try. I forget how to select other audio devices. [11:08] Mewses: nothing wrong you actually have four ethernet cards in your system [11:08] erUSUL: o.o [11:08] meowbuntu, the text file ( ~/.profile ) ? [11:08] Mewses: see the last four lines of lspci [11:08] is there any simple program for editing of photos (for crop, change brightness/contrast/saturation/color balance/rotate etc)? [11:08] meowbuntu, i assume its for setting up per user global variables. [11:08] thanks Dr_Willis, installing pavucontrol now and will have a look [11:08] erUSUL: yep [11:08] Mewses: maybe is a high end multiport card [11:08] !gimp [11:08] gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [11:09] Hi, I'm trying to create a bootable USB of the netbook remix of Ubuntu for a netbook I will be getting soon. My current computer is a mac and the instructions on the website say that to create a bootable USB on a mac I must have a .img file because a .iso won't work, however the only download link I can find is for the .iso. Can anyone point me towards a download link for the .img of the ubuntu netbook remix? [11:09] kane77: gthumb /photo manager/viewer) can do most of those things [11:09] airtonix, can you run the inxi comands in terminal yet. [11:09] feline: the .img stuff was for the old netbook release. the new one is .iso [11:09] !info gthumb | kane77, [11:09] kane77,: gthumb (source: gthumb): an image viewer and browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3:2.10.11-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 685 kB, installed size 1752 kB [11:10] erUSUL: probably, but then. could the router be the problem? since the internet does not work. I have tried to make the ip static and so on. I got the net working yesterday all of a sudden for no particular reason, then when i RS'ed the computer the net went down again. [11:10] kane77, much simplier than gimp and does what you just described [11:10] feline: im not sure if you can use the .iso directly as you would a .img [11:10] meowbuntu, yes [11:10] kane77: very good program; far better than f-spot imho :) [11:10] Dr_Willis, but doesn't 9.10 ship with alsa as default? [11:10] you might be able to use disk utility to convert the iso to an img [11:10] i cant whats comand again [11:10] ath_: alsa is used by pulse audio.. so yes... [11:10] Mewses: can you « ping www.google.com » if not what is the exact error? [11:10] meowbuntu, one sec [11:10] airtonix, can you run them in xchat [11:10] What's the difference between "Alternate" and "Desktop" versions ? [11:11] !alternate | Newbie-Widget [11:11] How do I tell apt to use forget a negative DNS reply? [11:11] huh, Dr_Willis, afaik I don't have pulseaudio unless it ships with 9.10, which would explain why pavucontrol won't work [11:11] Newbie-Widget: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [11:11] Newbie-Widget: alt- has a text based installer. [11:11] to use DNS and not to use cached negative reply that is? [11:11] s+ [11:11] erUSUL: unknown host google.com, and i have setup a DDNS at dyndyns.com [11:11] ath_: pulse audio is used by gnome.. pulse audio run on top of 'alsa' [11:11] erUSUL: its connected to the router, the status is "ok" [11:11] meowbuntu, confirm for me please that you have inxi in ~/bin [11:11] can someone tell me how to get rid of the ubuntu icon beside the main menu? [11:12] ath_: a default ubuntu install has gnome -> pulse audio -> alsa -> the kernel sound card drivers.. (is how they work together) [11:12] Dr_Willis, i'm using kde. [11:12] Mewses: if you do « ping 209.85.227.104 » ? [11:12] ath_: No idea then. I dont use kde [11:12] airtonix, erUSUL thanks I will try that [11:12] ty guys :) [11:12] Dr_Willis: so how do I go about installing the current release onto a USB stick using a mac? [11:12] !unetbootin [11:12] feline: no idea. that pendrivelinux.com site may have some guides [11:12] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:12] feline: im not sure if unetbootin even has a mac port yet. [11:13] erUSUL: From 192.168.2.35 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable [11:13] feline: or if you have linux allready installed somewhere. You can use grub2 and make it boot an .iso file from the flashdrive [11:13] DexterLB, My CPU usage hovers round 5-20 usually with Firefox Xchat Sys Monitor and a usual My Computer running [11:13] Mewses: paste the output of « ip a » and « ip route » [11:14] this is why I am getting puzzled [11:14] erUSUL: which commands? newbie [11:14] hello [11:14] air its in there now [11:14] erUSUL: nvm [11:14] any greek [11:14] airtonix, its in there now [11:14] Mewses: those two « ip a » and « ip route » [11:14] meowbuntu, and is it set to executable ?

You are proberly doing somthing trivial wrong. [11:16] thevishy the only gui app that I know that shows the real cpu usage is the usage indicator applket for gnome-panel. Or just use htop in the command line [11:17] airtonix, done with no output in terminal === kb is now known as Guest69896 [11:17] meowbuntu, good, now you should be able to type ~/bin/inxi [11:17] i am checking via TOP also , it reflects the same readings [11:17] Dr_Willis, no i am not exec is not configured to run yet like in linux mint.

[11:44] but it does not change permissions [11:45] just creates symlink [11:45] any help? [11:45] Mmm. it seems the first ones was to invoke the bot. [11:45] Dr_Willis: thnx could yo tell me how do i make a partition of ntfs [11:46] But, I have Gnome already installed. [11:46] sheldon: if you want to shrink a ntfs filesystem and make a second unallocated partition. I would use windows - it has tools for that. Or gparted can also do it. [11:46] Should I do this? [11:46] Salvad: removing of the kde stuff may remove some extra bits that the ubuntu-desktop package then reinstalls [11:47] I want to remove the KDE programs. [11:47] i have a sis video card, I believe my xorg uses vesa driver, i want to change it but xorg.conf no more available in ubuntu 9.10, first: how can I check what video driver I'm using ? second: how do i change it ?

If so how can I switch it back to gnome? [11:48] xjkx: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+question/93548 [11:48] sheldon: windows ignores linux partitions/filesstems - if you want a placce to install windows to. then leave part of the hard drive 'unallocated' - windows can then format/use that unallocated space Normally. [11:49] sheldon: or use gparted to just make an empty ntfs partition. [11:49] King_Arthur: you can log off, change the session to gnome, log back on [11:49] Salvad: then fire up the package manager and remove the various kde programs you dont want. [11:49] erusul - well, that's not what I asked for, that's a feeble hacked up alternative [11:49] King_Arthur: the bottom right of the logon screen has a session switcher [11:49] Dr_Willis: is it possible to format a partition to NTFS in (ubuntu) linux? [11:49] is there any proper photoframe software for ubuntu [11:49] ActionParsnip when I do updates will it take longer? [11:50] mmaksimov: use gparted and have the proper support package instlled.. yes. [11:50] Dr_Willis: thnx i am going to try again then [11:50] King_Arthur: yes as you have more packages to upgrade [11:50] Rods_Tiger: photoframe? [11:50] yes, photoframe [11:50] not screensaver, not photo organiser set to slideshow [11:51] ActionParsnip thanks! [11:51] there are plenty of photoframes in the shops, but apparently none of this has impacted the linux world [11:51] Rods_Tiger: so you want an pp to just display a single image and not change with no desktop icons in the way? [11:51] morning folks, where do I disable "services" in karmic, there use to be an app for that but I can'T find it in the admin menu anymore [11:51] of course not [11:52] well if there isn't any software that does want you want, write it yourself [11:52] how ? [11:52] Rods_Tiger: i'm just clarifying the requirement [11:52] ActionParsnip: thanks, will try that [11:52] Python is the normal answer to that. :) [11:52] that's an utterly stupid response - writing it myself is ridiculous [11:52] no, it's a perfectly sensible suggestion [11:52] Pelo: depends on whats handling the service. Upstart is replaceing the sysv system. so 'bum' can handle some services. but not all. [11:52] Can anyone help me? I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and it overrode all my grub settings. [11:53] Rods_Tiger: its not, how do you think all the apps you use got made? [11:53] Dr_Willis, I made a media box out of an old comp, I just want to get rid of bluetooth and cups and stuff like that [11:53] the thing is, there are so many photoframes out there that are on offer, and people are buying them, but the big ones are highly expensive - I'd have thought that the linux people would be going round saying that you don't need to buy one, just create your own using a spare computer and xyz photoframe software for it [11:53] I've no idea how all the apps I use get made - in a software factory probably [11:54] Pelo: you could fire up the package manager and remove those services. [11:54] Hello. [11:54] software factory, lol [11:54] I've never considered how it's manufactured - never needed to [11:54] Rods_Tiger: take photo-viewer of your choice, fullscreen, done. what was your issue? [11:54] Dr_Willis, plan B , I just didn'T feel like figureing out the dependencies [11:54] hi [11:54] Pelo: for removeing things.. it shouldent matter.. it will remove the stuff it needs to [11:54] Rods_Tiger: no, each is made by ssmall groups of buddys making apps because what they need doesn't exist or doesnt suit their needs [11:55] i need some help :x [11:55] what photoviewer is the photoviewer of my choice that properly emulates a photoframe? [11:55] Rods_Tiger: so coding your own is in now way ridiculous at all [11:55] Pelo: if you just want to stop the services - remove the prper .conf files and script links (with bum) from /etc/init/ and /etc/rc2.d [11:55] do we really have not a single decent program capable of producing SWF's? [11:55] Migi32: isnt that flash? [11:55] Dr_Willis,k [11:56] ActionParsnip, SWF's is flash, yes [11:56] swf = shockwave I thought... [11:56] Dr_Willis: flash is closed source and proprietary, we can't do anything about the fact that they refuse to create tools for linux [11:56] ActionParsnip: shockwave flash, yeah [11:56] Does anyone use GIMP-Shop? [11:56] Dr_Willis: there isn't even a shockwave client for linux [11:56] Rods_Tiger: what are your requirements for "emulating photoframe"? [11:56] CShadowRun: Oh the Huge-manatee of it all! :) [11:56] Migi32: flash is closed source preoprietary to Adobe so the only people who can really make it, is adobe and thats not gonna happen as Adobe are douches [11:56] indeed :P [11:56] Dr_Willis: lol [11:57] :( [11:57] ActionParsnip: no need to call names though [11:57] Tm_T: to adobe, its never enough [11:57] someone have time to try help me? :/ [11:57] Rods_Tiger: could try imagemagik, it can display images [11:57] Does anyone here use a normal DSL modem instead of a router? [11:58] ActionParsnip: not in this channel [11:58] Tm_T: alright [11:58] Some help ill show you with photos [11:58] :D [11:58] Rods_Tiger: or feh (image viewer) [11:59] we need to make some kind of open-source alternative, but the problem is that the client for that would have to fight its way up (and will most likely never be as spread as adobe's) [11:59] !info pornview [11:59] pornview (source: pornview): Image and movie viewer/manager.

[14:09] coz_, it seems it cannot just detect the monitor, i followed a guide that showed me how to boot into windows with software to get the correct settings for the 'ModeLines' to configure the xorg.conf, but i cannot locate such a file to work with, if that makes sense [14:09] !info kill avahi [14:09] 'avahi' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, partner [14:09] mac9416: You could check packages.ubuntu.com, but seriously - 6.06 is old as hell. === zach is now known as Guest44324 [14:10] i dont want to have to kill avahi every time i reboot [14:10] how do i remove it [14:10] hyperstream_, did you try opening nvidia-settings [14:10] Hi @ll, I have a problem with my Floppy drive. I'm able to mount it manually by doing "mount /mnt/floppy0", but from Palimsest or Nautilus when I do "Recognize Media" or how it is called in English, it doesn't recognize the floppy inside [14:10] in aptitude a lot of packages are dependent on this avahi crap [14:10] karelia: update-rc.d -f avahi-daemon remove [14:10] avahi-daemon. thanks llutz [14:10] coz_, yes its the configuration of the resolutions and card related stuff panel, even if i go to pref>display, i can choose YES to display manufacture panel (nvidia-settings) [14:11] grawity, yeah, I know, but I need to help someone who uses it. packages.ubuntu.com is down, but I'll try that when it comes back up. [14:11] hyperstream_, so nvidia settings is seeing the monitor? [14:11] mac9416: then tell him to do 'python --version', or something. [14:11] hyperstream_, under nvidia-settins X server display configuration [14:11] coz_, its detecting it as a.. i think: CVT-0 monitor, and only has the max of 800x600 resolutions [14:12] hyperstream_, ok mmm [14:12] coz_, instead of a Hitachi CM811 Plus (as this computer detects it perfectly) === mohammed is now known as Guest65350 [14:12] coz_, same systems, same install disk, same updates [14:12] what other options are there to capture my 3d desktop? [14:12] hyperstream_, that;s odd.... [14:12] capturing with ffmpeg or recordmydesktop has problems [14:13] grawity, well it's on a forum, and the computer he needs support for is offline (probably why he hasn't upgraded) so it would be a little work for him to do that. May be what I have to do though. [14:13] if using compiz snow and other effects, it is all messed up [14:13] coz_, im also having a similar issue at work on a laptop with a 17" monitor [14:13] janhouse, not many options...linux does not have high end screencasting software [14:13] hyperstream_, oooo [14:14] sucks... [14:14] hyperstream_, you could try to install nvidia's official driver [14:14] ok, thx coz, have nice day! :) [14:14] coz_, i dont know how to figure it out, or to tell if its a bug, or google similar issues, my keywords are not getting any results. [14:14] janhouse, there is the seom/yukon libraries [14:14] coz_, should i uninstall the restricted drivers first yes ? [14:14] grawity: yes, it didn't work [14:15] hyperstream_, absolutely [14:15] hyperstream_, then let me know hold on let me get link for that driver [14:15] hyperstream_, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_190.42.html [14:15] but I rescued the file with cat. ln would be nicer.... [14:15] hyperstream_, dont run that just yet [14:15] coz_, sure thing mate:), give me 10-20 mins [14:15] coz_, oooOo ? [14:15] hyperstream_, do you know how to do install that driver? === mohammed is now known as Guest8012 [14:16] hyperstream_, sudo apt-get install build-essential first [14:16] coz_, no not 100% but i would find a karmic ubuntu guild if needed [14:16] hm [14:16] hyperstream_, there is no deb pacakge on nvidia's site this has to be installed through text consolr [14:16] Why can't I connect to my master DNS server from my Ubuntu box? (i.e. telnet 53) I can from other boxes. Does Ubuntu have some default firewall setting blocking this perhaps? My named.conf files, tail /var/log/syslog and iptables -L can be found here: http://pastie.org/740291 [14:17] hyperstream_, I can walk you through it you will need a pencil and paper first :) [14:17] coz_, ahh yes terminal, sure thing, care to pm me ? [14:17] hyperstream_, nope not the terminal [14:17] i SERIOUSLY need a functioning msn alternative that supports video calls, audio calls, and video/audio calls. right now i have amsn, but it's not working properly on any of these and i have no idea why. [14:17] coz_, oo console, alt + f-key [14:17] naoshige: there are no default 'rules' in ubuntu to block anything with its firewall. [14:17] installing packages which depend on wine causes the wine package to installed. but i already have wine compiled and installed from source. [14:17] naoshige: Do _all_ DNS connections fail, or just transfers? [14:17] hyperstream_, get a pencil and paper,,,,<<, I wanstn joking :) [14:18] coz_, got it mate :) [14:18] hyperstream_, you have pencil and papter handy? [14:18] psinetic_, try compiling the latest aMSN from their website, it often helps me (: [14:18] paper [14:18] coz_, sure do. [14:18] grawity: All [14:18] is there any way to make apt check if something is already installed from something other than a deb package? [14:18] dAlfa89_, i tried that, still nothing === WizardOfOz is now known as OzAway [14:18] hyperstream_, ok this is the procedure ...ctrl+alt+F1 then log in then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [14:18] iKernel: What do you mean by "something other"? [14:18] iKernel: Compiling from source? [14:19] hyperstream_, then cd to the location of the downloaded driver [14:19] iKernel: the package manager doesn't manage apps compiled and installed from source [14:19] iKernel: no, thats the reason you should avoid instlling stuff from source/bins etc. [14:19] hyperstream_, then sh NV then hit tab to complete the package name say yes to everything then sudo init 6 [14:19] anyone have any experience with "vsftp" server on Ubuntu? [14:19] noone? :-( [14:20] coz_, init 6 - just for learning, what does this do/refer to ? [14:20] hyperstream_, tell me when you have that all written down or PM me so we can get it without having to read inbetween posts === dAlfa89_ is now known as sAnta89_ [14:20] jake__: I do (in Debian, but that's almost the same) [14:20] hyperstream_, init 6 is the reboot [14:20] hyperstream_: reboot [14:20] ahh neato [14:21] hyperstream_, but PLEASE be sure you have uninstalled the driver you had [14:21] do you know how to stop my users from being able to see the hidden system files on my server?....ie: .bashrc, etc [14:21] hyperstream_, and that should have been uninstalled via hardware drivers [14:21] coz_, 100% [14:21] ok [14:21] jake__: Their own, or other users'? [14:21] hyperstream_, now if you want PM me and tell me what I asked you to do [14:21] :) [14:21] lol ok [14:22] is there a way I can change the right and left in cheese? [14:22] well, if I log on via ftp their not shown, but if you use an FTP client all the hidden files on the server show up [14:22] is there any way to recover user password in ubuntu [14:23] Shawn-: No, but you can set a new one -- boot into "recovery mode", use the 'passwd ' command. [14:23] .org [14:24] jake__: hide_file=.* [14:24] grawity [14:24] oops I meant what do you mean [14:24] whats the range of ur temperature ? u can check it here [14:24] Hi. I'm trying to install the Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on my new netbook using a 1GB USB disk. I downloaded the .iso and used Unetbootin to make the USB disk a bootable drive. I then restarted the computer and set the BIOS settings to boot from the USB disk, but I'm presented with the error: "Please remove disk or other media. Press any key to restart." What's gone wrong and how can I make... [14:24] hello [14:24] ...it work? [14:24] cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature [14:24] i got a non working dvd-rw disc here which reports in dmesg: [14:24] jake__: man vsftpd.conf [14:25] [20870.710946] UDF-fs: No anchor found [14:25] [20870.710952] UDF-fs: No partition found (1) [14:25] I just want to reformat/blank the thing (dvd+rw) [14:25] grawity how do I do it [14:25] Shawn-: I just told you. [14:25] Anyone familiar with packaging of mozilla/xulrunner on ubuntu? trying to package and app and I need to figure out the right way to link against /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.5/lib/... probably doing something wrong here. [14:25] but brasero is being stupid (no disc detected) [14:25] I've checked the config and dont' see anything to hide them [14:25] is it posible to install an older Xorg version in ubuntu? i am runing ubuntu 9.10 nut X sucks on my hardware, i had a greath experience with the X in 8.10 is it posible to install that versions? maybe others tried this before? [14:25] and I can't get dvd+rw-format to work on it either [14:25] I'm actually on xubuntu can I still do it I don't see recovery [14:25] any ideas [14:25] Shawn-: "Recovery mode" is an option in the boot menu, displayed when you turn in the computer. [14:26] I'll try the "hide_files"............thanks guys [14:26] jake__: therefor it's useful to read man-pages ;) [14:26] grawity it shows at grub or at login sessions? [14:26] jake__: But why would they need to be hidden? All of them belong to the user. [14:26] Shawn-: Grub. [14:26] can anyone tell me the output of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature ? I have it in the range of 85 degree . is it normal ? [14:26] but we only have one user account on the system [14:26] thevishy: 40c here [14:27] thevishy depends on the hardware [14:27] Grawity how do I display grub if it doesn't show it by default [14:27] Shawn-: What does it show? [14:27] thats very cool , wonder why its heating so much - yes but this has spiked since I installed the upgrade 2 days back [14:27] Grawity nevermind it was escape [14:27] ofcourse my laptop is very hot but this has like become extreme and I suspect something related to do with kernel [14:28] What VGA capture devices will work with Ubuntu? [14:28] ыыы [14:28] grawity now what do I select at recovery menu [14:28] Shawn-: "Root shell" === homer is now known as Guest46980 [14:29] grawity and now I just change the users password? [14:29] Shawn-: Yes. (And it would be good to remove old keyrings from ~user/.gnome2/keyrings/, as they are useless without that password.)

[14:48] jrib: the UUID's for / were simply missing [14:48] no uuid at all [14:49] BeerSerc: how did you ascertain that? [14:49] I have installed apache2, I'm using netbeans to develop and I need my useraccount to have r/w perms for /var/www, so I've sudo chmod g+rwx /var/www R after a sudo usermod -a -G www-data:www-data myuseraccount, but still I'm not able to write as myuseraccount [14:49] hamzaatova2: theres a reflect option in xrandr [14:50] jrib: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [14:50] hi,is there any alternate to autodesk maya in linux? [14:50] BeerSerc: have you set one now? [14:50] jrib: both systems have 3 partitions, and in both cases there was none for root anymore [14:50] jrib: nope, I changed grub's setup to use /dev/sda1 again [14:50] !equivalents | rahil [14:50] hi ..I want to know ..mu system became so slow after upgrading to 9.04 ..if I format it and reinstall fresh copy, will it be ok? [14:50] rahil: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant - Try also joining #ubuntu-bots and asking BestBot === crunchbang is now known as Guest20310 [14:51] Hi, i recently installed ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, both are really similar and i have the same problem on both, when i used ubuntu 7.04 and i think even 8.04, i didn't had this problem, i could create an adsl connection and use with my wired connection, so i don't understand why ubuntu 9.1 has to disconnect the wired connection to dial the dsl (pppoe) connection, i've tried using pppoeconf too, and it doesn't work: the wired connection was set to ifupdown(eth0) and [14:51] hello, my flash isnt playing back videos on current.com. cant find any bugs related to that [14:52] BeerSerc: does blkid also not return a uuid for /@ [14:52] jrib: I dont live where those pc's are, so I cannot tell you, and I think by now, theres an UUID again in /dev/disk, but it wasnt there once, so the system did not boot at all [14:52] can you restrict the size of a directory [14:53] BeerSerc: have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com ? [14:53] jrib: that is, even after rebooting several times .... [14:53] how to change the login screen in ubuntu 9.10 [14:53] jrib: I googled it [14:54] jrib: I can also try and see if its on bugs.ubuntu.com, but even if it is, I have never seen a bug fixed there, it's always: "wait for next release" and marked fixed ... [14:54] hi guys! i've just bought a kickass acer laptop and lshw shows the network interfaces but ifconfig doesn't. the chips are bcm5784m for wired and intel wifi link 500 for wireless. please somebody help me [14:54] BeerSerc: that's generally how stable releases work unless it's a major bug or security issue [14:55] mlaci, if no one here has any suggestions you could try ##linux channel also :) [14:55] jrib: aye, but not booting is only stable or major if you have a very interesting definition of stable and major ... [14:55] coz_, thanks for the idea ;) [14:55] BeerSerc: I was merely responding to your comment about bugs in general [14:56] preetam, with some minor tweak you can do that, this link looks promising http://lionlix.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/hack-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-gdm-login-screen/ [14:57] jrib: I know. I also see that it has to be like that in some cases, for stable releases. but I have seen a lot of people revert to windows after an standard upgrade broke their wpa on ubuntu on eees, and it wasnt fixed. so the regression was an update, but no update to fix it? [14:57] for example [14:57] i have heard there is theme support for grub2. Does karmic support it? It is called gfxemu i think [14:57] hi ... my system became so slow after upgrading to 9.04.. is there any advice? [14:57] BeerSerc: I don't know the specifics, but most of the time a kernel update breaks something it's because users built the drivers themselves instead of using the repositories [14:58] rahilm, a clean install of karmic should have grub2 beta by default [14:58] guys please have a look @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8485283#post8485283 regarding laptop heating , please help if u have solutions [14:58] thanks [14:58] coz_, then how do i enable theme support? [14:58] BeerSerc: anyway, I would check if the disk actually has a uuid or not so you can know if the issue is that the uuid got blanked somehow or the disk had the uuid but the kernel couldn't find it by uuid for some reason [14:58] rahilm, getting the themes going is not "too" difficult but you may get more out of googling grub2 change background [14:59] rahilm, well chaning the grub menu background in grub two ...well...let me find a link [14:59] coz_, i know how to change backgrounds and fonts i am talking about something i saw in arch forums [14:59] jrib: I will do so when I am home next time. but nevertheless, it's quite shining a very bad light on linux for outsiders and ubuntu for insiders imho, that 2 different systems died the same way within weeks, on a stable distribution... [15:00] rahilm, oh? I dont know what you saw [15:00] thevishy what laptop do you have? [15:00] BeerSerc: bugs happen, all you can do is fix them and move on [15:00] hello [15:00] they show some themes here [20:26] *** ding__ quit (Success ) [15:00] [20:26] *** Guest34681 quit (Success ) [15:00] [20:26] preetam, with some minor tweak you can do that, this link looks promising [15:00] i need to upgrade from hardy, but do-release-upgrade does not find any new distributions [15:01] like grub.gibbit.com [15:01] !upgrade > Stavros [15:01] Stavros, please see my private message [15:01] Can anyone help me get the drivers for my graphics card? I have a Radeon x1200 Series. and I use Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 [15:01] jrib: ah, thanks [15:01] Stavros: by default LTS releases only look for other LTS releases to upgrade to, check your update-manager preferences [15:01] jrib: i thought so, but this is a headless server.. i'll look into the page you linked to, thanks [15:02] Stavros: right, there should still be some way to configure that option, just not sure where [15:02] jrib: it was in the page you linked, it found intrepid now [15:03] rahilm please send me the link [15:03] Stavros: cool [15:03] i have to do karmic -> intrepid -> jaunty -> karmic, huh :/ [15:03] erm [15:03] hardy [15:03] Stavros: yeah, might be worth waiting for lucid, to just do hardy -> lucid [15:04] preetam, which one??

[16:29] ActionParsnip: i just took it out of the package, so no it has not. [16:30] LizardK|ng: does the dmesg show the disk being inserted? === DeRaNGeR is now known as Guest92939 [16:30] ActionParsnip: dmesg doesn't make a peep about the card [16:30] edl2203: trying to make a new account, but it's rejecting all the passwords I try. There's got to be another app that we can use to test audio. [16:31] is the audio issue in ubuntu 9.10 fixed or worked around yet anyone? === weldan is now known as weldan_ [16:31] LizardK|ng: hmm, got another system to try the card in? [16:31] Snossages: let me think [16:31] AdvancedN00b: works here just fine [16:31] ActionParsnip: i might, it's a windows system [16:32] Snossages: Did you try your sound recorder? [16:32] LizardK|ng: thats cool, makes sure the card works ok, remember to safetly remove the card from the system [16:32] edl2203: as an aside, I think skype is broken- this new account signup is rejecting every password I give it, easy ones that it probably should reject, as well as good ones that it certainly shouldn't [16:33] Snossages: Go Apps, multimedia, sound recorder [16:33] ActionParsnip: I updated to 9.10 and the sound stopped working alltogether [16:33] k [16:33] ActionParsnip: will do; the card is for a photoframe i'm giving to my parents tonight so once i put the pictures on, i won't have another card to try [16:33] LizardK|ng: try "sudo modprobe mmc_block" and insert card then [16:33] Hi. Does anyone know a way of a simple install of Ubuntu on a Mac using BootCamp? I googled it but can't find proper up-to-date instructions. [16:33] edl2203: yup, worked perfectly, no config change required [16:33] AdvancedN00b: does it work in a 9.10 livecd? === angelus_ is now known as angelus [16:34] '~$ pactl list | grep Internal; Description: Internal Audio Analog Stereo; device.description = "Internal Audio Analog Stereo"; Description: Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo; ... device.description = "Internal Audio".'

[16:34] edl2203: I saw a rather long and gnarly howto for setting up skype audio on ubuntu when I first installed skype... but I can't find the link to it now. [16:35] ag90: doesnt matter if its slightly old, its still bootcamp and still linux. the method is the same === picosamster is now known as picosam [16:35] Skype worked on the initial install for me, TeamSpeak was a completely different story [16:35] edl2203: from what I saw, it looked like all the config work was within skype, almost like all of skype's default audio settings were wrong for use in karmic [16:36] snossages: have wondered why Skype was not part of the software center ... [16:36] this was a few releases back I'm sure your skype trouble is very different [16:36] Snossages: that would help a lot [16:36] rodgerr: well it is only in beta, not like it's supposed to work [16:36] how can I know where is my sandisk memory stick? [16:36] ActionParsnip: any ideas? [16:36] edl2203: give it some googling, I bet it'll turn up [16:36] I mean dev/...

[16:38] debianos: can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: sudo find / -name "libstdc++.so*" [16:38] ActionParsnip: I will try that and come back with results [16:38] AdvancedN00b_: worth a try [16:39] I reverted back to 9.04 simply because of a camera [16:39] the reason I'm asking is because I read this on wikipedia (on the mod_jk page) and I didn't really understand it: JBoss Web and Tomcat 6 are now using the Apache Portable Runtime library to get increased speed and OpenSSL. They both also support URL Rewriting. The need for a separate Apache instance and the usage of mod_jk may well be reduced in the future. [16:39] LizardK|ng: is the card ok in windows? [16:39] rodgerr: in my experience, cameras labeled as UVC will generally work just fine. [16:39] snossages: what is UVC? [16:39] ActionParsnip: didn't try yet, will try now [16:39] rodgerr: universal video class. A (common) sub-type of USB webcams. it's a little new, but there are many on the market [16:40] rodgerr: the UVC ones have a habit of just working without any messing around. A bit hit-or-miss with the other kinds. === slacker_ is now known as TheSlacker [16:41] Are there any issue with constant disconnects when using the ath9k driver? (Atheros wireless in laptop.)

I guess i'm not sure what it is fully capable of [18:01] aaron11, go to your windows computer, open command prompt, type in "ipconfig /all" and private message me the information for your DNS [18:01] marks256: you can also do a line like --> DISPLAY=hostname(orip):0 xterm & [18:01] EastDallas:only these two options are shown under 'Network adapters' [18:01] marks256: that whould start up an xterm on the remote box's dispolay [18:02] g_khatwani123: That is Dell's name for the Broadcom BCM4310 wireless controller, so YES the link I gave you will fix your wireless issues [18:02] marks256: IF all the security stuff is set right [18:02] I'm wanting to install Windows next to my Debian install, will I be able to use the Ubuntu 9.10 live cd to restore grub 2 (as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB 2), I'd assume it doesn't matter whether I'd use Debians or Ubuntu's 'update-grub' and 'grub-install'? [18:02] g_khatwani123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:02] Psinetic: LOL! Im on Ubuntu right now and btw what do you want to know [18:02] Dr_Willis, ok. That much i did understand. But, say if one had an LTSP setup, could one user launch a window on another's terminal? (assuming security is all correct) [18:02] SRabbelier: is devian using grub2 or grub1 ? thats a big differance [18:03] aaron11, i need to know the DNS information for your windows computer you're trying to connect to so i can see where it's connecting to, this way i can get a correct ip and see if u can use that ip in your web browser to configure the modem [18:03] Dr_Willis: I'm on Debian's testing, which uses grub2 [18:03] marks256: yes. You could even try it from the console. and make it start a xterm on a X session [18:03] aaron11, i am beginning to wonder if this modem even supports port forwarding [18:03] What's a program similar to paint for ubuntu? [18:03] ok [18:03] !info mtpaint | Sacho [18:03] Sacho: mtpaint (source: mtpaint): painting program to create pixel art and manipulate digital photos. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.31-1 (karmic), package size 657 kB, installed size 1824 kB [18:03] danke [18:03] aaron11, at which case, i would not be able to assist you any further, as other than that, i have no idea what to do XD lol, plus it's 3 am here lol [18:03] SRabbelier, are you sure? I'm on squeeze and using grub1 [18:04] EastDallas:on this link 'No Alternate Internet Access' whether to follow to 1st step or 2nd step [18:04] Halitech: meh, not testing, experimental I mean [18:04] hello, what is the *correct* package just for plain ol' Firefox (3.5+), not firefox rebranded as Shiretoko or something? I am on Jaunty [18:04] g_khatwani123: But if there's ANY way for you to plug a cable in and connect to the internet that way, all you have to do is install all of the updates, and your wireless will just start working. [18:04] Halitech: I always confuse the two ^__^ [18:04] SRabbelier, ahh, good old sid :) [18:04] Halitech: but yes, I ran the whole 'upgrade to grub2' dance [18:04] shylent: firefox-3.5 [18:04] Dr_Willis, neat! :) I have another hypothetical question then. Say if i already had xterm being displayed on my screen. Without terminating the application, could i send it to another host? [18:04] IdleOne: no, it installs Shiretoko for me :/ [18:04] g_khatwani123: you follow ALL 3 steps [18:04] Psinetic: We will continue later [18:05] Psinetic: Ill come tomorrow [18:05] g_khatwani123: you download the software from step one from the link in step 2 [18:05] shylent: hmm that is correct sorry. [18:05] Psinetic: I wana watch a movie! [18:05] Psinetic: :D === nathan is now known as Guest44508 [18:05] aaron11, no no, stay, continue to ask for help. i'm not the only guy here who can answer your questions [18:05] g_khatwani123: forget what I just said [18:05] marks256: thats 'doable' with some nasty hacks but not very easially or in a stable way. [18:05] fuck ubuntu chanel most pupular))) [18:05] aaron11, haha, well if you want to leave go right ahead then [18:05] Psinetic: No im sorry [18:05] Psinetic: But when do you come on IRC [18:05] g_khatwani123: you need your Ubuntu CD and download the two pieces of software in step two. [18:06] !language | greshnik [18:06] greshnik: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:06] marks256: if you need to be doing somthing like that a lot. use vncserver to launch a simple 'hidden' desktop you then access via a vncviewer. [18:06] EastDallas:then what next? [18:06] I ejected my camera memory card after copying my pics. Then I unmounted the card and took it out. I put it back in to get new pics, it won't open it. Does nothing. I can not get it to mount again. I tried a different card, same thing. [18:06] Dr_Willis: so, mh, did you mean that if it's using grub2 it will probably be allright? [18:06] Psinetic: Please come on 3:00 INDIAN time [18:06] Psinetic: Thanks [18:06] aaron11, i honestly don't know when i'll be on, i'll be gone most of the day tomorrow [18:06] g_khatwani123: It tells you exactly what do do in the link I gave you. [18:07] aaron11, and i have work the day after all day [18:07] EastDallas:where to keep that two downloaded files so that command written in step three could access it [18:07] SRabbelier: should be. but im not sure how different grub2 is on the various disrtos. Theres a lot of work on grub2 going on. so there may be version differances. [18:07] Psinetic: 0_o [18:07] Dr_Willis, vnc eh? I've never really looked into that. It it fairly similar to LTSP? [18:07] Psinetic: Ok [18:07] hello! I'm seeking for grub experts in order to help me installing it on my 2 disk array raid1 [18:07] Psinetic: Sure then [18:07] Dr_Willis: would there be any way to sortof do a 'dry' test? [18:07] marks256: it lets you run a desktop you can remotely access. X has a 'similer' feature (xdmcp) but its not quite the same. [18:07] aaron11, i would suggest you complete your work with other members of the irc for quick and speedy resolution :) [18:07] Psinetic: Bye [18:07] Dr_Willis: (before I go ahead and install windows and blow up my MBR) [18:07] aaron11, ok, see you later. :) [18:08] g_khatwani123: create a folder on your hard drive [18:08] SRabbelier: Try it and see I guess.. It pays to learn how to use grub and repair it. :) [18:08] Dr_Willis, so the client needs an OS on it? It can't do PXE boot [18:08] ? [18:08] SRabbelier: with most 'repair' operations you could boot a live cd and chroot into the installed system. that way its using the proper grub files for that disrto [18:08] night all, i'm going to take a shower, brush meh teefies, and go to bed. waking up in like 4 hours yay! [18:08] marks256: vncserver is a 'server' it runs on an OS. :) its nothing to do with booting remote stuff. [18:08] EastDallas:what will be the exact location of that folder [18:09] Have you guys already installed and configure grub (grub2) over a raid array ? [18:09] g_khatwani123: that is up to you [18:09] * Psinetic is away: In Bed | Night all!!! [18:09] Dr_Willis: ah, mhh, "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB 2" recommends to use the Ubuntu binaries, it'd make sense to not honour that step and instead make sure to use the binaries from my Deiban install [18:09] g_khatwani123: did you install ubuntu from within windows? [18:09] Is it true that I can open up some terminal and install an IRC client while I'm installing ubuntu? [18:09] Dr_Willis, oh! duh :) i'm sorry. of course. Thanks for the help sir! [18:09] SRabbelier: yep. Unless of course you are testing out some new features of grub2 === Jesus is now known as Guest51630 [18:09] no through laptop reboot [18:09] SRabbelier: the ubuntu grub2 dosent support LUA for example. or some other 'in progress' features. === Guest51630 is now known as jesus_je === Greed is now known as NIGG [18:10] g_khatwani123: did you repartition your laptop or install in a virtual partition? [18:10] Dr_Willis: nope, nothing in particular [18:10] * Psinetic is away: In bed | Night All!!! [18:10] Dr_Willis: the only reason I'm using grub2 is because aptitude told me it had a fancy new shineh package ready for me :P [18:10] SRabbelier: im not sure if debian uses a similer config files for its grub2 either. Ubuntu has /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d No idea what debian uses [18:10] EastDallas:so whether command written in step 3 will automatically search where these two files are kept? [18:11] SRabbelier: grub2 has some really really really neat features. I got a flash drive with grub2 setup to boot my ubuntu.iso file :) [18:11] where are the settings for the launchers that are in awn stored ?? [18:11] Dr_Willis: *nod*, it shouldn't matter if using my install's grub binaries though, no? [18:11] SRabbelier: i then did changes to my ubuntu's grub2 configs where i can also boot an iso file from the hard drive as a 'recovery' option [18:11] g_khatwani123: no [18:11] Dr_Willis, what can you tell me about grub on raid array ? [18:11] SRabbelier: i wouldent think so [18:11] Dr_Willis: yeah, I'm glad to see linux is moving forward with the whole grub thing [18:11] tstebut: i dont touch raids :) [18:11] clear [18:11] Dr_Willis: neat [18:12] :/ [18:12] SRabbelier: progress... gotta love it.. gotta hate it... [18:12] EastDallas:so whether i have to modify the commands in step 3? [18:12] tanks anyway ;) [18:12] My computer will not mount my flash memory after unmounting it and putting it back in. [18:12] Got sand in my keyboard [18:13] g_khatwani123: If you installed Ubuntu in a virtual partition, the file will be located in /host/foldernameyoumakeup. If you installed Ubuntu an actual partition the file will be located in /media/windowspartition/foldernameyoumakeup. [18:13] Dr_Willis: hehe, I don't mind it much, the progress that is, I'm hoping things will get more intuitive [18:13] Yeah it doesnt do that with my comp as well Guest , I dont know why but manually mount it [18:13] Guest44508: ive had some issues wher ei had to log out/back in to get autompounting working.. or just mount the thing via the command line [18:14] thevishy: i had the issues for a while. but the last set of updates fixed mine up better. I think theres some service/tool crashing thats in charge of that feature [18:14] I restarted and shut down completly no use. I tried to mount manually, need some help there because I couldn't get it right [18:14] hi [18:14] thevishy: normally a log out/in fixed it.. but then perhaps 3 hrs later it would crash again. [18:14] how do I prevent page faults? [18:14] So this is the first time I'm going to install linux. Are there any important parts I can mess up except for making the partitions @ the install? [18:14] Or is it common sense. [18:14] I've used it TONS and never had a problem until today [18:14] how can i restart samba server? [18:15] wvd: are you going to dual boot or what exactly? [18:15] genti: sudo service WHATEVER restart [18:15] hi [18:15] Dr_Willis: Yes, I'm going to give / 20GB and /home 20GB. [18:15] so how do I mount manually? [18:15] genti : sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart [18:15] wvd: gnu/linux*.. but for ubuntu, the install process is very straightforward and you can hardly screw up anything except for your partitioning [18:15] anybody got an idea how to install with the alternate version from a pen drive? [18:15] genti: get in the habbit of using the 'service' command.. forget about 'init.d/whatever' syntax [18:16] wvd: so you are going to have windows on the system also? [18:16] clearscreen: my C:\ HDD has 200GB free. and I'm going to allocate 40GB total to / and /home, that sounds correct? [18:16] Dr_Willis: For now, yes. [18:16] Will Ubuntu work properly with AMD Cool and Quiet? [18:16] Dr_Willis: What does 'service' do that directly calling /etc/init.d/$foo doesn't? [18:16] Dr_Willis, tell me more please about service spririt .... [18:16] wvd: that would be fine [18:16] wvd: you might want to use windows to resize your 200gb drive and leave 40gb or so unallocated. [18:16] Dr_Willis: (because there's no "service" command in Debian, which uses the same init.d) [18:16] g_khatwani123: Here's another tutorial: http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-drivers-bcm43xx-chipset-based-wireless-cards-ubuntu [18:16] grawity: it works for UPSTART services for starters. :) [18:17] Guest44508: man mount, but in general: mount -t mount_type device mount_point [18:17] Ho hum, I've got this CD-like icon, and underneath is written VBOXADDITIONS_3 : should I click on it ? IS the vbox additions thing installed or..? [18:17] wvd, might want to remember to give some room for swap [18:17] Dr_Willis: Why? Do I need to do that? [18:17] grawity: service command has been around for some time now. with Upstart. people actually need to start using it. :) [18:17] wvd: windoiws will resize the hd about 7x faster then the ubuntu installer can. [18:17] ok i used this "sudo service smbd restart" and its not working [18:17] nr_: You need to install the software inside. [18:17] Well how does i works in ubuntu ? Is it xml conf like in solaris systems ? [18:17] genti: its 'samba' for the service name [18:17] my touchpad and keyboard doesn't work in karmic :( [18:17] genti: AFAIK, it's "samba", not "smbd" [18:17] ok thanx [18:17] Dr_Willis: I better play on safe. [18:17] I want to permanently set my dns to opendns(208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) what should I do & [18:17] ? [18:18] ill try it now [18:18] This is the first time I install linux.

[18:18] thanx people it worked [18:18] h4z|da: or use the network manager to set them === Guest57352 is now known as Jesus_2009 [18:18] thanks gravity: if its a CD image - does that mean I should mount it and run it>? to install?.. [18:18] karlzt: I think there's an issue with certain touchpads in Karmic and maybe keyboards as well [18:18] Dr_Willis: editing resolv.conf is not a permanent solution as NetworkManager will overwrite it [18:19] h4f1: just use networkmanager [18:19] clearscreen: yep. depends on how he wants to do it.. [18:19] Dr_Willis: Is it true that I can just install irssi or so, while I'm installing? [18:19] when I installed Opera it made itself the default browser. How can I set it back to Firefox?

[18:19] mac9416: edit->preferences in firefox [18:19] mac9416: firefox has some menu items/settings for that [18:19] Dr_Willis: Thanks, also, how long is the install? 2h+?

[18:21] wvd, you may want to defrag windows from within windows to make sure you don't get any corruption [18:21] wvd: if it properly installs your network drivers and you are connecting over ethenet through DHCP, then yes [18:21] wvd: depends on how its connected.

[18:37] can I use minitab on ubuntu? [18:37] hey everybody, I am looking for a light-weight stable web browser that can run flash (specifically hulu and youtube). any recommendations? [18:37] buttons: You can build something like you describe pretty easily. [18:37] gdiz: epiphany/opera [18:37] gdiz: whats wrong with firefox? [18:38] gdiz: chromium, epiphany, any other that uses webkit [18:38] i installed chromium in my computer and its pretty good though not sure how u would enable java flash etc on that [18:38] maxinux61, i'm not familiar with what parts to buy? [18:38] buttons: [18:38] thevishy: try then google chrome [18:38] how to install kde [18:38] maxinux61, just a regular mini tower with a nice heat sink (no fans) and a ssd, that's what your thinking? [18:39] thevishy: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [18:39] thanks [18:39] buttons: depending on the performance you want, look at the Intel Atom 330 MB. [18:39] aeon-ltd, nothing is wrong per say...my computer is an older dell. I go and clean up what's running so that cpu and mem is relatively clear. but the video is still choppy running in hulu even after buffering [18:39] pardon me, but how do I install fonts for single user in Ubuntu 9.10? [18:39] using gnome? [18:39] is anyone at least going to tell me if they know the solution to my problem or not? [18:39] aeon-ltd, I mean it could just be an old video card, but still [18:39] Buttons: add to that a Picco power supply, no fan. [18:39] maxinux61, i don't want much performance ,just for music and other simple tasks [18:39] thought it was worth a try [18:39] its a huge process , takes approx 700 MB [18:39] better I would stick with gnome [18:39] Buttons: Tthe atom is perfect. [18:39] I'm trying to pxe install ubuntu netbook remix. I got the machine to boot and I selected my apache2 server as my installation source but when it gets to downloading the installer I get the warning "bad d-i Packages file" followed by the error "anna[2266]: cat: can't open '/tmp/net-retriever-2582-deduplicate/*': No such file or directory [18:40] any ideas? [18:40] Hi, how do i get the cpu temperature in 9.10? i am trying to install im_sensors but can't find the package [18:40] is that deprecated? [18:40] maxinux61, k, i'll look into those thanks [18:40] fokuslee: lm-sensors [18:40] Buttons: the Intel MB is cheap too about $80 including the processor. [18:40] also I see the message "time warp or clock problem", because my cmos battery is dead and I need to set the time manually, but I can't because there's no "date" program in the pxe install root [18:41] oh its L? as in linux? [18:41] fokuslee: it is [18:41] llutz, thanks alot [18:41] sup guys [18:41] fokuslee: change your fonts in irc-client :) [18:41] what do I do if I have a stuck process? killall exaile doesnt clear it === ]pablo[ is now known as eth0 [18:41] is packages.ubuntu.com down? i keep getting 404 since yesterday :S === eth0 is now known as eth1 [18:42] jason in order to do that hit alt+f2 and type in xkill [18:42] alius - Im in kubuntu, not ubuntu. I just need to do it in terminal or whatever. [18:42] llutz, is this better? [18:42] ohh [18:42] is there not a kilall force or something? [18:43] jason_____: kill -9 [18:43] jason_____: pkill -9 exaile [18:43] Ive never had a process stick like this, and its enraging me beyond belief because I CANNOT reboot [18:43] also I am not sure if you would know how to do this, what I want to do is control the web browser via ssh (or some other means remotely) What I would like to do is navigate to hulu show, go to full screen (which I believe is some keyboard command in hulu), and play/pause [18:43] pkill -i worked [18:43] -9 [18:43] woop! thanks [18:43] lol [18:44] fokuslee: lol, if you can see the difference between i and l, yes :) [18:44] Need help to stream football! Could any1 help? what software is to be used and how can i get it? [18:44] aliquerer, where from? [18:44] llutz, oh thats what you mean, duh me LOL [18:45] Has anyone fixed the audio issue in 9.10? [18:45] thiebaude: from myp2p.eu there are many streams available [18:45] Hm [18:45] aliquerer, vlc can stream to other computers [18:45] does anyone know anything about installing and using bluez-btsco? [18:45] aliquerer, get you w32 codes from medibuntu [18:45] I'm looking for a good, low-key, non-in-your-face stickynote application. [18:46] codecs [18:46] wmp [18:46] thiebaude: how? [18:46] I don't like Tomboy, the windows are too big/full, etc [18:46] !med [18:46] !medibuntu [18:46] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [18:46] EntityReborn: you have the sticky notes applet === nielsslot_ is now known as nielsslot [18:46] aliquerer, or check out perfectbuntu [18:46] EntityReborn: What's the replacement for Tomboy? Gnote I think [18:46] !info Gnote [18:47] Package Gnote does not exist in karmic [18:47] After installing VBOXADDITIONS the mouse integration works perfectly (an onscreen prompt announced it as well), but straight to the display properties bix didnt appear - my resolution is still 800*600.. any ideas what I missed? [18:47] xangua, thx [18:47] thiebaude: im trying mediubuntu now but how can that help me? [18:47] hey! there we go! [18:47] anyone here using GNOME IRC chat [18:47] oops. wrong channel/ [18:47] aliquerer, you need the w32 codecs to stream [18:47] from that site [18:48] BitEncrypt: i've never heard of that client :S [18:48] when ive done that what kind of streams can i do? [18:48] aliquerer, do you have vlc? [18:48] bug in rhythmbox, not playing .m3u stream, looks for 'text/uri-list'. apparently fixed. anyone know how to make this patch?? [18:48] nr_: you may need to install addition video drivers [18:48] thiebaude: i dont know, but im not going to stream by vlc [18:48] nr_: *additional [18:48] yup - i got ya :) [18:48] Xchat [18:48] thiebaude: i need to use some certain software, like sopcast for example [18:49] aliquerer, are you trying to stream out or watch? [18:49] aliquerer, thats a good idea, i use vlc and have all my codecs installed so i can watch any video format and audio windows, etc [18:49] Does anyone here use a bluetooth headset with Skype in Xubuntu 9.04? [18:49] hi people, in which package nvidia kernel module rests? in nvidia-common? [18:49] for binary driver of course [18:49] Halitech: im going to watch [18:49] thiebaude: how can i watch streams by vlc? [18:50] hello [18:50] ! [18:50] aliquerer, ok, then you don't want to stream them, you want to watch them, vlc can do that, FF with flash can do that (youtube), mplayer can [18:50] aliquerer, 1 sec [18:50] I know AMD graphics drivers are being supplied for Windows 7, for x1650 card, is this why ubuntu VM on a win7 with x1600 AMD card wont offer up good resolution? [18:50] EntityReborn: There's a proper replacement for Tomboy, Fedora has it by default. It's been mentioned in a few or more of the anti Mono articles as well. I think it's called Gnote, but maybe not, I tried to find out for you elsewhere, but no luck yet. [18:51] aren't [18:51] I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem of turning off my laptop monitor w/o turning off the computer [18:51] Can someone give me some advice on improving performance for QuakeLive (browser plugin game) using an Intel 945 graphics card. It runs at the moment but it's really slow....... [18:51] skreem are you using Firefox [18:51] Can anyone help me fix the audio issue with 9.10? [18:51] nr_, guest OSs running in vmware or virtualbox dont use graphics hardware directly, its emulated. [18:52] AdvancedN00b, tell more about it [18:52] AdvancedN00b what seems to be the problem [18:52] Halitech: when i go to a site liake myp2p.eu the streams are listed, but needs certain software [18:52] skreem, you cant intel graphics is sucky [18:52] usser, not exactly [18:52] pecisk, ? [18:52] usser, VO commercial client can't do direct rendering just fine [18:52] can't/can/s [18:53] I have updated from 9.04 to 9.10 and the sound stopped working. did some reading and it is a common thing. [18:53] aliquerer, that site says one of the players you need is vlc and of coarse wmp, so since they say windows media player, you will need to install the w32 codecs (wmp) [18:53] For some reason, when I turn off my monitor on my laptop, the screensaver "noscreen" is activated after about 10 seconds [18:53] I have managed to get the headphones working, but thats all [18:53] AdvancedN00b, it really depends on your sound card. I will guess - laptop? [18:53] AdvancedN00b: Sound is not fun to try and get working properly again, it can also be tricky to do. You could try a clean install of 9.10, or put 9.04 back on. [18:53] aliquerer, did you look at the software page? http://myp2p.eu/softwareitem.php?softwareid=18&part=software [18:54] Advance noob try what sebsebseb said [18:54] AdvancedN00b: In fact if you clean install 9.10 Ext4 and Grub 2 by default [18:54] usser : Alius - yes firefox and it runs very fast in Windows....... so the graphics is up to the job. [18:54] hmm [18:54] pecisk, thats true but the graphics card for guest is still emulated, ie even if you have nvidia 9800 on the host, guest will see virtualbox graphics adapter, not 9800 [18:54] sebsebseb: Ok will try that [18:54] skreem, pastebin your glxinfo [18:54] Halitech, now i see [18:54] usser, that's correct [18:55] If I install a package and modprobe fails to load a module that is in that package, is there anything I can do to load that module? [18:55] crantok, what's module for? [18:55] crantok, insmod of course [18:55] Halitech, however i still dont understand how to install sopcast [18:55] usser : http://pastebin.com/m5f3f15f0 [18:56] AdvancedN00b: It's good practice to make sure you got a good ISO, and so i'll get the bot to pm you some info about that. Well maybe you got an offical 9.10 CD, but probably not. [18:56] pecisk: module is snd-bt-sco (from bluez-btsco). I'll look at insmod. Thanks [18:56] skreem, yep your graphics is working fine. not much you can do at this point [18:56] How do I reconfigure X on Karmic? xorg.conf doesn't exist and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing. [18:56] sebsebseb, actually, the widget is perfect [18:56] thanks anyway [18:56] oh to late they gone, nevermind then [18:56] ok usser - shame i really want to rid my system of windows [18:56] aliquerer, sudo apt-get install sopcast ?? [18:56] Is there such a thing as open source college? [18:57] EntityReborn: ok well it is gnote [18:57] !offtopic [18:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:57] skreem, you gotta make sacrifices :) why not try openarena instead? [18:57] Halitech, it says it cant find it [18:57] quakelive is my life at the moment :P [18:57] Halitech, gotta go now however ,thx for the help so far [18:57] hello g33ks [18:57] coppro, do this: sudo Xorg :1 -configure that will create a xorg.conf in your home directory.. edit it, then chuck it in /etc/X11/ and it will use it.. OR if that doesnt work.. just tell Xorg to use it.. man Xorg [18:57] aliquerer, check synaptic then, might be sop-cast [18:57] I have a cronjob that turns off my wireless interface (ifconfig wlan0 down). How do I get the network applet to reflect that it is no longer connected to a network? It sill shows the connected bars. [18:57] coppro: Xorg -configure [18:58] thanks [18:58] pecisk: insmod fails to find snd-bt-sco. Do I need to know the path to the module? [18:58] COuld anyone help me with a screensaver problem? [18:59] i searched the forums for help [18:59] GLAUK0N: depends on what it is, details? [18:59] crantok: with insmod you have to provide full path [18:59] and googled as well [19:00] !details | GLAUK0N [19:00] GLAUK0N: 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 ..." [19:00] when I manually turn off my screen on my laptop with a command or use brightside corner, the screensaver "blank screen" turns on and emits a backlight, which I don't want [19:00] erUSUL: Thanks [19:00] I just want to turn off the screen [19:00] is anyone familiar with dualbooting windoze7 after ubuntu is installed? 9.10 [19:00] it won't [19:00] GLAUK0N: ok I don't know [19:01] GLAUK0N: what command are you using to turn off the screen? [19:01] karma_police: normalley you do Windows first, then Ubuntu, because otherwise Windows overwrites the Master Boot Record the first section of the hard disk, and it goes over Grub, and then it's annoying to restore Grub, and can be quite tricky for new users in fact [19:02] i have a pretty serious gnome ubuntu 9.10 bug to report, should i report to gnome or ubuntu? [19:02] all apps using on_motion_notify_event don't work anymore [19:02] "xset dpms force off" [19:02] !bugs | williamchan [19:02] williamchan: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:02] Dr_Willis: "xset dpms force off" [19:02] sebsebseb: is that a channel, !bugs? [19:03] GLAUK0N: right thats using the 'power saver/settings' So you say the screen turns Off, then a few min later the blanker kicks in , which turns it back on? [19:03] i would install windows first but i have goten everything set just right in ubuntu and don't want to start from scratch again... is there a way to ghost an image of my current ubuntu to install afterwards? i know this is a dumb question [19:03] chasedawg1: that was the trigger for the bot [19:03] sebsebseb: is there a bug channel? [19:03] karma_police, you can install windows second, will just need to reinstall grub afterwards [19:03] karma_police: you can resize Ubuntu and make space for Windows, you might lose a little data doing this, but probably not. You can then learn how to put Grub 2 on, your on 9.10 yes? [19:04] chasedawg1: I think so #ubuntu-bugs ?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [19:04] i am 9.10.. already have reszed using gparted with no probs... i followed a forum for re-installing grub it didn't work for me [19:05] Dr_Willis: it doesn't turn back on, the problem is the "blank screen" screensaver is activated because the computer is regarded as idle, but when the screensaver turns on, it emits the backlight of my laptop screen (supposedly, this is how the "Blank screen" screensaver functions) [19:05] Dr_Willis: All i want is for the screen to be completely turned off on my laptop, no screensaver whatsoever [19:05] karma_police: yes that's what I meant by tricky for new users, the tutorails don't quite make sense or wahtever [19:06] Dr_Willis: if there was a way for my computer to disregard the screensaver functionality all together, that would be fine. [19:06] i've been ubunting sind mid october so i am still a noob... i still want to use ubuntu as my primary because i enjoy it so much [19:07] since* [19:07] karma_police: What kind of Ubuntu set up have you done? I mean apps and anything else [19:07] where are the scripts for conky placed? everytime read about .conky, but where to playe .concy? [19:07] Dr_Willis: because the "blank screen" screensaver, though a blank screen it is, emits the backlight from my laptop screen. [19:07] GLAUK0N: disable the screensaver in screensaver prefs. enable screen dimming in power management prefs [19:07] olli: Dotfiles usually go to your home directory. [19:07] olli: So it probably is ~/.conky/ [19:08] karma_police, just install windows and use ntldr until you're confident you know how to reinstall grub :) [19:08] -> *homefolder*/.concy/blafile.sh? th [19:08] *thx [19:08] 9.10 64bit. pykaraoke, audacious, mythtv [19:08] mneptok: there is no option for me to disable screensaver [19:08] karma_police: I have a little idea, seperate /home and maybe /usr as well, put Windows on, then do a / for Ubuntu. Altough Grub 2 could just be re installed some how. [19:08] so does ~/ mean homefolder? [19:08] I use Spotify through Wine but it stops playing tunes after a couple of tracks, why? The player doesn't start but it works a couple of times before it stops. === dAlfa89_ is now known as sAnta89_ [19:08] GLAUK0N: uncheck "activate screensaver when computer is idle" [19:09] RealAlmightyUbot: have you checked appdb.winhq.org?

[19:09] *No [19:09] hola [19:09] karma_police: menu.lst is for the old Grub, not Karmics [19:09] olli: if I do "echo ~" I see "/home/carl" === fernando is now known as Guest74146 [19:09] that explains it then [19:10] karma_police: make sure your using re installing Grub 2 instructions, and you will hopefuly be ok [19:10] mneptok: ok, ill try it, thnks === Witch-King-VT is now known as Ultraviolet^ [19:10] Dr_Willis: thnks for the help [19:10] have to go [19:10] i guess i could install windows first... i'd rather get my hands dirty and learn how to fix this tho.. i'm not worried about data loss.. all my files are on a separate hdd [19:10] Why does bridge-utils break my eth0 routing by default? [19:11] CarlFK: thx ;) [19:11] karma_police: well I had another idea so you woudn't have to get rid of all of Ubuntu, however you should also just be able to re install Grub 2 with the correct instructions [19:11] coppro: Platinum rating in Wine HQ. [19:11] how do I apt-cache search for (name contains "xml") and (description contains "editor") ? [19:11] RealAlmightyUbot: interesting [19:12] karma_police: data and program user data goes in /home [19:12] hey guys [19:12] a year or so ago I found a nifty xml gui editor - simple name like kxml, now I can't find it [19:12] coppro: And no bugs related to my problem. [19:12] hey guys - my DHCP service isnt starting whenever it boots up. What could be the problem? [19:12] hmm :/ [19:12] coppro: I use UFW firewall. But if that was a problem Spotify wouldn't start at all? [19:12] karma_police: normalley people just need a /home on a seperate partition, to get most of how things were like before back, when doing a clean install [19:12] RealAlmightyUbot: I don't know [19:12] coppro: start playing at alla, I mean- [19:13] jason_____, did you mean your computer doesn't aquire dhcp ip?

I have tried "openvpn --auto-nocache myconfig.conf" and the --aut... after myconfig.conf aswell. where should an option for a app be? [19:13] coppro: Ok. [19:13] i have a LOT of music and would die if i lost that [19:13] you can have a separate partition on he same drive; I do that [19:13] pecisk - No, I have two laptops I use for imaging windows machines, and the imaging software runs on Linux. Theyre both Ubuntu and theyre both PXE booting the clients and hand out generic IPs to connect them. But the clients dont pick up an IP address unless I manually stop then start the dhcp service each time.

Delete all of Ubuntu, put Windows on first, and then Ubuntu [19:17] i'm gonna read into doing choice 1 [19:17] win7 isn't worth too much trouble. hehe [19:17] karma_police: I can help with option 1 [19:17] virtualbox *cough* [19:17] karma_police: What are you using it for anyway?

[19:22] karma_police: right well coppro said they could help with option 1 [19:22] coppro - when I try to restart the service, it says fail. But if I stop the service, THEN start, it works [19:22] desktop effects gone after update to kernel 2.6.31-16, any solution === s is now known as Guest21944 [19:23] i like otption 1 the best [19:23] karma_police: ok.

[19:23] k.. bbl [19:24] karma_police: Ubuntu disc [19:25] Can anyone bring up the packages.ubuntu.com page? I can't seem to. [19:25] George_E: packages.ubuntu.com was down last night. [19:25] George_E: It's down. [19:26] Oh. Is it still down? [19:26] Ok. [19:26] yes, and probably will be until Monday. [19:26] Uh oh. I need a package.

[19:27] on my netbook now [19:27] I am trying to load a firefox via ssh, do you know how I can specify the display === angelus_ is now known as angelus [19:28] gdiz: use ssh -X [19:28] ....does anyone else have issue logging in with xubuntu livecd? [19:28] plain: you shouldn't need to log in [19:28] well thats bad news. [19:28] I am trying to use 2.6.29 as my kernel version. Is there a way to upgrade 9.04 to that kernel? [19:28] try ubuntu as the username, no password [19:29] jrib, I am sorry, I meant I want it to pop up on the ubuntu box not the remote box [19:29] plain: user name is ubuntu and password is blank [19:29] will that work? [19:29] ive tried that [19:29] there might be some weird issue with my hardware [19:29] plain: if that's happening, you have a bad burn. Run "check the cd for defects", also make sure you burn at no more than 4x. If you do need to reburn, check the md5sum of the iso [19:29] hm [19:29] ok [19:29] gdiz: just set DISPLAY. e.g. DISPLAY=:0 firefox [19:30] how can I search my PATH for files that contain xml? something like find $PATH -name '*xml*' [19:30] anyone know how I can upgrade my kernel to 2.6.29? [19:31] CarlFK: you're going to have to expand path... maybe use tr [19:31] Aditya1: What version of Ubuntu? [19:31] bug in rhythmbox, not playing .m3u stream, looks for 'text/uri-list'. apparently fixed. anyone know how to make this patch?? [19:31] coppro: 9.04 === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [19:31] I can't use 9.10 because it doesn't seem to run in a VM.... at all [19:32] Aditya1: you can download packages http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [19:32] whats a command I can use to see what current server-services are running in ubuntu? I'm curious to see the status of my DHCP service. [19:32] jason____ service --status-all [19:32] jrib, that did it thanks [19:33] so running linux-source-2.6.29_2.6.29-020629_all.deb is all I need to do? [19:33] Aditya1: grap them all, then use gdebi to install them [19:33] *grab [19:33] except maybe source [19:33] I am actually looking for kernel headers too [19:33] so I Should get everything right? [19:34] yeah, so install the image and headers [19:34] source is optional [19:34] oh [19:34] jrib: yay: find $(echo $PATH|tr \: ' ') -name '*xml*' [19:34] cool [19:34] thanks [19:34] CarlFK: yep [19:35] I have set a proxy server using preferences->network proxy and when i disable it, it kept stuck. does not get disabled. how can i disable it globally?? [19:35] since the #kubuntu is kinda... "dead" i'll ask here, last time i used Any Ubuntu distro was kubuntu 7.10 for this old Compaq Presario R3000 , how do i enable its multi-card reader? [19:36] CarlFK: btw, there's "which -a" [19:36] I have tried export http_proxy='' [19:36] but it disable it for current terminal only [19:36] grawity: how does it work? I got nothing from which -a "*xml*" [19:37] is there a way to look for software drivers in commandline (i am trying to get a usb sound card that works fine in karmic get detected in XBMCbuntu) [19:37] guys - my dhcp3 service isnt auto starting - where can I change it to make it auto start? [19:37] how can i troubleshoot gnome? [19:37] CarlFK: ...ah, forgot that. 'which' doesn't do wildcards. [19:37] tvaughn: what kind of trouble? [19:37] grawity: yeah, I think it is for when there is more than one foo [19:37] where does ubuntu hold proxy settings?? [19:38] jel: you cant login under gnome session, it crashes back to prompt [19:38] tvaughn: although I'm tempted to answer "KDE" :) [19:38] Dracari: on a laptop the multicard readers some times have issues depending on the kernel. Try a live cd. and in theory the thing should just work. [19:38] how can i switch to kde then [19:38] silentnights: do the settings persist after restarting the app? logging out and back in? rebooting? [19:38] :) [19:38] tvaughn: oh. Look in your home dir for .xsession* files [19:38] hi, I've got a problem with camera upside down in skype on my asus f3sg on 9.04 [19:38] it's good in cheese [19:38] tvaughn: I think it's just .xsession [19:38] jrib: It persist even after ebooting [19:38] using Kubuntu 9.10 (off pendrive thanks to usbinst) Live CD [19:39] silentnights: everywhere? [19:39] tvaughn: but might be .xsession-errors or something [19:39] jrib: yes, I do have to set the application settings myself everytime I use any [19:39] silentnights: but the preferences dialog shows no proxy? [19:39] tvaughn: you can also change the login session type to failsafe, and at the terminal, run gnome-session [19:39] hi, I've got a problem with webcam upside down in skype on my asus f3sg on 9.04, cheese displays image correctly not upside down [19:39] jrib: yes [19:40] silentnights: is http_proxy set to something? [19:40] jrib: yes it's keeping the old proxy settings I even deleted the settings itself not just disabling it but it persist [19:40] silentnights: have you checked /etc/environment? [19:40] i know i cant get its broadcom 43xx wifi card. it hadnt worked in most distro's ive tried. [19:40] whats a app to install to pastebin outputs of files? [19:40] *card to work [19:41] tvaughn: pastebinit [19:41] desktop effects gone after update to kernel 2.6.31-16, any solution [19:41] ryszard: you might need another webcam app that understands your camera better. I *think* the newer camera protocols have issues with cheese still, but this isn't an area I've much experience with, so take that with a pinch of salt [19:41] jrib: That's the only content of /etc/environment -> PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" [19:41] jel cheese displays image correct, skype doesn't [19:41] wiki tiki tavi [19:41] silentnights: see if the proxy settings exists when you login with a fresh new user === TeLLuS_ is now known as TeLLuS [19:42] bye [19:42] http://pastebin.com/f44874205 [19:42] guys - my dhcp3 service isnt auto starting - where can I change it to make it auto start?

[19:43] jrib: btw isn't there a way to know where the enviroment variables coming from?? [19:43] silentnights: not that I know of [19:43] silentnights: grep :) [19:44] jrib: lol, I tried to grep the whole system for it but after some hours I had to shutdown the comp :D [19:44] !Grub2 [19:44] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[19:49] TomV-415: thats odd.. open a new gnome-terminal and see what 'echo $TERM' says.. 'xterm' would proberly be the default Term setting [19:49] skreem, maybe restart pulse, sudo service pulseaudio restart [19:49] will try that - thanks [19:49] Dr_Willis: Any way you could help me for a sec?

[19:52] !info lighttpd > dderrinder1 [19:53] ranjan_: lazy way. make a script that sleeps for a set time.. then runs the command. :) but there may be better ways [19:53] mneptok: i dont know? all the cool kids are using the newest one. [19:53] jrib: I did delete it from system->http_proxy in gconf-editor when i opened another terminal it was still there. does it need a restart? [19:53] silentnights: guess so [19:53] dderrinder1: so you're willing to install compilers and other toold that could be used to compile a rootkit on your server just to get something you're not sure you need? [19:53] Dr_Willis: Is there something I should configure in vi to set it to the right terminal? [19:54] jrib: Thanks a lot :) [19:54] packages.ubuntu.com is down? [19:54] TomV-415: not that ive notifed. vi works very well here. [19:54] TomV-415: Does the same happen with vim? [19:54] /last shell [19:55] TomV-415: you did try a 'sudo apt-get install vim' the default vi is 'vim-tiny' it may be having the issues [19:55] mneptok: if a hacker needs build-essentials to compile his rootkit on my server, he will get it, no matter what. [19:55] anyone know how to install mp4box? [19:55] dderrinder1: how, exactly? [19:55] Dr_Willis:: i don't have any idea of how to wright any script ... not only that i don't have any knowledge of programing :) [19:55] CLI command for viewing what's the IP address of the router/modem or Access Point? [19:55] he could enter sudo apt-get install build-essential I guess [19:56] jozefk: wget -q -O - http://whatismyip.org [19:56] ranjan_: time to spend the 10 min readiing the abs guide and learn the basics I guess.. 3 lines in an executable file. #!/bin/bash sleep Some#### command to run [19:56] Is ther any way to tell linux to use a newer kernel after its installed [19:56] dderrinder1: and that won;t work unless the person is logged in as an account with sudo privileges, and knows that account's password. [19:56] mneptok: but i see your point, after i have build lighttpd i will purge that [19:56] or wil it just ask me? [19:56] ranjan_: that pm-hibernate command sosent have a 'delay' setting it seems [19:56] dderrinder1: good luck writing your SysV or Upstart init scripts and adding them to the correct runlevels. [19:56] hey there ppl [19:57] mneptok: is there another runlevel than 3 ? [19:57] that's not the IP of my router :P it shoudl be something like 168.192.X.X [19:57] I'm using 6gig swap space, but only 300 meg is used [19:57] dderrinder1: yes, there are runlevels 0-5 [19:57] Dr_Willis: I'll give that a try - didn't realize i had a tinyvim... using the -T flag is ingored.. I'm getting 'gnome-256color' as the terminal [19:57] wtf is so much for swap then? [19:58] mneptok: i read somewhere that ubuntu only uses 1 to 3. [19:58] TomV-415: try it in some other terminal applications like xterm, and rxvt and so forth. [19:58] !runlevel [19:58] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [19:58] desktop effects gone after update to kernel 2.6.31-16, any solution [19:58] wouldn't it be bad if you needed to use 6 gigs of swap for some reason? [19:58] dhcp3 isnt auto statring. what can I dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [19:58] mneptok: i will put it in 3. with chk... [19:58] Upstart? [19:58] crap. im done. [19:58] dderrinder1: yes. Upstart. [19:59] !upstart [19:59] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [19:59] hey everyone, this question has been asked a lot these day's: but even after followin the ubuntu-fora, about:config and sutch, firefox still doesn't want to open magnet links into azureus [19:59] actually 192.168.X.X :) [19:59] anyone can help? [19:59] oh god. i am screwed. [19:59] dderrinder1: if you don;t know what Upstart is, just install the packaged version. enable backports if you want to get the latest. [19:59] !who | jozefk [19:59] jozefk: 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 :) [20:00] jozefk: so you want the local ip... use "route -n" for example [20:00] oh wait. i will just format the thing, and go back to 9.04 , i assume 9.04 did not have upstart yet, right? [20:00] Dr_Willis:: thanks for information i'll try to learn some language so that some useful script can be created.... tanks a lot .... [20:00] dderrinder1: no, Upstart has been used in every currently supported release. [20:00] jrib: that's it. thanks. u know to whom I speak :P [20:01] dderrinder1: if you don't know what Upstart is, just install the packaged version. enable backports if you want to get the latest. (x2) [20:01] jozefk: I don't read every line in this channel, but I do read all the hilights [20:01] youre righnt [20:02] how do i stop grub from adding entries in the boot everytime there is a kernal update? [20:02] i'm watching the nicknames [20:02] hey everyone, this question has been asked a lot these day's: but even after followin the ubuntu-fora, about:config and sutch, firefox still doesn't want to open magnet links into azureus. Has anyone solved this for themselfs already? [20:02] and highlights as well :) [20:03] Dr_Willis: good suggestions, but no luck. reinstalled vim, same error.. interestingly, same error with xterm window too. I'll have to come back to this, but thanks for the suggestions! [20:05] ojo: are you trying this on tpb, or some other site? TPB is known to work, but others might have bad site configs. Otherwise, I'd suggest double-checking the instructions, and checking log files, as it shouldn't be that hard. Oh, if you have the gnome addons for firefox installed, you might need to do it from gnome's filetype settings./ [20:05] hello [20:05] how can I add chinese input? [20:05] jel: tpb [20:05] Urgh. Having a weird semi urgent issue. I was working with something fairly critical in a VirtualBox session and than I switched tried to switch out and go into Firefox on my Host (Ubuntu) and got into Firefox, but somehow the Guest Virtual BOx session still has my mouse focus and I cannot get back to it. I have also tried ALT+Tab with no avail. I can get to a command prompt via keys and I have tried gnome system monitor but it [20:05] So I booted with my Ubuntu CD and when I check the CD it says errors in 7 files.. does this mean I have to make a new CD? [20:06] jel: I'll try, once again.. tx [20:06] Its weird cause I am able to use the keyboard but ALT+Tab doesn't seem to work nor the mouse [20:07] UbuntuChickie: right ctrl ? [20:07] I used GParted to copy an NTFS partition, it used ntfsclone to do it which I saw running in a TOP. It's ended now but gpartedbin is at 100% with a SLEEPING status and the GParted gui just doesn't give any indication how far along it is (or even it's its hung or anything at all). [20:07] I tried Right + CTRL too [20:07] UbuntuChickie: try #vbox [20:08] Its not as much a vBox issue if someone knows how to give a process focus from a terminal window [20:08] UbuntuChickie: maybe wmctrl... === nosrepa is now known as APERSON [20:09] UbuntuChickie, it's not "Right + CTRL" it's press the CTRL key on the Right side... [20:10] Zyk - Yes. Thats what I meant. I tried that first [20:11] JRib - I hit ALT+F2 to get to the run app window and typed WMCTRL and it gave me an error of not found. [20:11] UbuntuChickie: wmctrl is a command you run in a terminal window (which you asked about) [20:12] how can I type chinese on ubuntu? [20:12] So, when I check the CD it says errors in 7 files. However the md5 of the iso is the same as on the UbuntuHashes, something went wrong on burning I guess? [20:12] can someone please help me get a radeon x1600xt working in intrepid?

[21:12] drakon: about the cube have u enabled compiz?

[21:13] Yes I have compiz enabled [21:13] cn28h: NO USER should see other pwds. That's the whole point of hashes. [21:13] what is your AGP [21:13] RenatoSilva, well it's not a password, it's a username ;) [21:13] cn28h: you're an idiot [21:13] RenatoSilva, thanks [21:14] karmic_police you're familiar with the grub command ? === eviljuss101 is now known as eviljussi01 [21:14] not so much.. said ineed to apt-getfirst [21:14] whats an APG?

[21:15] H__: same [21:15] question : how does one install 'kuickshow' on 9.10 ? It was available on 9.04 but seems gone for 9.10 ?! [21:16] i install firefox-dbg but gdb still reports no debuging symbols [21:16] RiotingPacifist did you have a disk-full recently ? [21:16] colin_: try running it from the terminal to see if it throws any errors [21:16] Xorg wont start, it just shows a black screen. `/etc/init.d/gdm restart` brings it back to the same black screen as well. Any way to fix this? [21:16] H__, did you install the 'kuickshow' package? [21:16] or that's what doesn't work [21:16] I have a hardware switch for a wireless device. Today, it "stopped working". When the wireless device is on, there is a light that turns blue. However, beginning today, the light does not turn blue, and I cannot get network manager to detect any wireless networks.

[21:20] is there any way to tell dhcp which address I would prefer? [21:20] bep: Well you will want to make sure the nvidia driver has hdmi support for audio. If it does, you might have to disable your on board audio in your BIOS to get it to choose hdmi as default [21:20] H__: i'll try a purge and reinstall [21:20] thx [21:20] tvaughn, http://www.ubuntuhcl.org [21:20] kane77: yes [21:20] ina way [21:20] you could not use dhcp and just demand an address [21:20] soreau: ok thanks ill check into that and maybe make sure there is nothing in the bios to enable to sound over hdmi. didnt think of that :/ [21:20] which would work unless dhcp assigned that address to someone else [21:21] kane77, It's called a MAC reservation. [21:21] kane77, yes [21:21] is anyone familiar with dualbooting ubuntu then win7? [21:21] tvaughn, usser_ how do I do it?

I tried it in the begining when I bought the router, but it did not work for some reason and I never tried again..

[22:00] PhotoJim: In repos grub 1 is "grub" and grub2 is "grub-pc". try installing grub. But i think there are some guides somewhere [22:00] soreau: i am currently running based off generic kernel and no x windows [22:00] PhotoJim: so you dont even rember at all what you did to 'fix' it.. edited a file? waved a magic wand? bunt a picture of bill gates? [22:00] i don't want any artist tag, i want all of them Unknown, but editing them with easytag or rhythmbox doesn't seem to solve it, rhythmbox keeps backing up the artists [22:00] Join #penisvagina [22:00] Join #penisvagina [22:00] James__d: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:00] bep: You're not running X? [22:00] Dr_Willis: I chrooted to my root partition and had to edit some files to persuade update-grub to work at last. took me about 2 hours. [22:00] PhotoJim: Let's try to find a guide first [22:00] soreau: no i am making a htpc and will be running xbmc standalone [22:01] i have been going off alsamixer etc [22:01] bep: Well i don't know much about that either. Have you checked alsamixer? [22:01] yes and everything appears like it should be using hdmi audio [22:01] bep: Well you might need to start some audio service that usually starts with gnome perhaps [22:02] bep: you actually have hdmi audio working? [22:02] PhotoJim: i found this http://brettshaffer.com/blog/linux/downgrade-grub-2/ [22:02] bartmon: this install is fresh (I haven't even booted it yet, actually, I installed and then came into Win7 to make sure it was working ok). so experimenting with it won't hurt anything. I can always reinstall. [22:02] Dr_Willis: no [22:02] bep: The other thing I would try is actually starting gdm/X/gnome and verifying it even works that way first [22:02] bartmon: oh, cool. I'll check that out. [22:02] ya ok, [22:02] bep: i see about 3+ people a week in here trying to get hdmi audio working. [22:02] ya ive noticed :/ [22:03] bartmon: that looks perfect. bookmarked. thanks for finding it. [22:03] bed: i'd use audio cables from the sound card to a set of decent speakers. WAAY easier [22:03] PhotoJim: No problem, glab to help! :) [22:03] well night all.... [22:03] bartmon: :) I appreciate it. [22:04] bep: Curious, how do you plan on running xbmc without X anyway? [22:04] soreau: i have xorg installed and doing xinit /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone does the trick [22:04] hello!!! i got some error on the update from console i got this "Bus errordependency tree... 0%" [22:05] bep: Ah, so you will end up running X [22:05] what's the command to get detailed information about a fs? [22:05] yes but i was trying to avoid gnome etc [22:05] bep: I don't blame you [22:06] pyrophelia: sudo parted -l ? depends what data you want [22:06] bep: Well best of wishes getting hdmi audio working [22:06] fs type, side of partiton etc [22:06] s/side/size [22:06] soreau: thanks, but im not holding out much hope. reviews on newegg for the board have continuous cons with never being able to get hdmi audio to work [22:06] pyrophelia: yep, that command will do it [22:06] bep: Eve in other OS's? [22:07] Even. even [22:07] in windows nope [22:07] i never could in windows vista but i figured it was a driver problem [22:07] because the driver would flake out a lot === zz_kiwifunk is now known as b0w [22:07] bep: Oh wow I guess the nvidia driver is worse off than I thought ;) ATI open drivers already have hdmi upstream in the kernel [22:07] bep: Audio even [22:07] ya [22:08] i think its an off chipset though. its one where i have to go to manufacturer website to get drivers even for onboard graphics [22:08] thats what nvidia scanner says anyway [22:08] hello, who waths tv on ubuntu. [22:08] so anyone? [22:08] bep: Well hopefully in the future nouveau can do it or maybe nvidia will even cooperate with oss driver devs [22:09] i got a Bus Error on building dependency tree === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [22:09] ya hopefully. oh well, it still has 7.1 sound but all the connections are 3.5mm so its awkward to hook up to a real surround sound setup [22:09] b0w: post error-message on pastebin to the channel [22:09] what is the recommended program to partition my HD? [22:09] doltek: gparted [22:10] doltek: gksudo gparted [22:10] iceroot: not necessary the pastebin look all i got is thi "Bus errordependency tree... 0%" [22:10] bep: If I were you, I'd whip out the soldering iron and go to town on it ;) [22:10] lol not worth the effort, id rather turn this motherboard into another project and get a better one for htpc [22:10] hmm is there a way to get all emerald themes in 1 fetch? === progre55_ is now known as progre55 [22:10] iceroot: and a red cirle with a white horizontal line in the middle on the taskbar [22:11] b0w: can you run: sudo depmod -al sudo apt-get -f install [22:11] Diverdude: there are thosands of themes, it will easily fill your drives [22:11] or? [22:11] Trying to install sun-java6-plugin. Error: depends: sun-java6-bin (=6-15-1) but 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 will be installed [22:11] what? [22:11] thx [22:12] ActionParsnip: ok let me do it [22:12] any bug report about that? [22:12] ActionParsnip, hmm ok....where do i find them and how do i download them? [22:13] Diverdude: http://compiz-themes.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103 [22:13] ActionParsnip: is that sudo depmod -all??? because i got the options of the depmod with -al [22:14] b0w: should be depmod -a [22:14] k [22:14] One of my user accounts can click Places and see my windows partition in there, and access it by simply typing in their administrative password. However, another administrative account on the same machine does not see the windows partition when I click places. How can I remedy this? [22:14] ActionParsnip, yes i found this b4 also...but its a .tar.gz file which i cannot import into emerald [22:15] hi, are there any good root kit detectors in ubuntu server 8.04? Mainly looking for something that detects php shells and the like. we migrated an old server to a new ubuntu 8.04 and want some additional scans on possible left behind php shells etc (like r57 and c99) [22:15] err that's not actually a rootkit thus :D [22:15] the server is clean installed so not worried about rootkits only sql and /var/www/vhosts came from old server [22:16] freakynl: if you dont get an answer here you may want o additionally try #ubuntu-server [22:16] jussi01: thx [22:16] !pastebin [22:16] 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 [22:16] ActionParsnip, how do i import a tar.gz file into emerald?

[22:18] bartmon, do you have freek disk space ? [22:18] ctmjr: yes [22:18] how do i import a tar.gz file into emerald? [22:18] bartmon, try sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic_2.6.31-16.53_amd64.deb [22:18] Diverdude, drag and drop it into the themes manager [22:18] !emerald [22:18] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [22:18] oh [22:19] bep: what ubuntu are you using? and did you unmute spdif in alsamixer? [22:19] ctmjr: karmic and yes :) [22:20] APERSON, that did not work [22:20] Diverdude, how so? did the file not exist, or did it not install? [22:21] APERSON, i just dragged the file into emerald but nothing happens...i just drags back to the folder itself [22:21] I need some help I know how to get windows networked with ubuntu but when I want to use ubuntu to connect to windows it keeps asking for username and password [22:21] Diverdude: you need .emerld files dude, extract the file may help [22:22] I want to connect to the windows box just like i can with windows sharing files with ubuntu [22:22] APERSON, But according to this page: http://wiki.compiz.org/EmeraldThemeManager you need a .emerald file.....but when i download emerald themes i only get tar.gzfiles [22:22] Diverdude, oh, I was getting people mixed up, yeah, extract the archives, or rename them to .emerald [22:22] ActionParsnip1, there is no emerald files in the folder which is what i dont get [22:22] i'm new to this whole 3g stuff and all i want is mobile broadband for my laptop, cheapest possible. willing to get a phone plan since i'm looking for a phone service as well, i need to buy RIGHT NOW [22:22] ActionParsnip1: look i got this message on the taskbar http://paste.ubuntu.com/340205/ [22:22] does anyone know a way to play starcraft on a linux box at a window that is larger than 640x480? [22:22] I've tried wine and virtual box but neither will resize [22:23] can someone help me with getting ubuntu being able to look into windows shared folders [22:23] thermal_, I'd ask the guys in #winehq ,they might have an idea [22:23] bep: ok you can try this pulse audio has a problem with digital sound, add the following line to /etc/pulse/default.pa, load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1 then restart pulseaudio -k pulseaudio -D then test the sound [22:23] 3g question above [22:23] ctmjr: ill try that thanks [22:23] i need to get something tonight i move out thrusday [22:24] ctmjr: there is currently no default.pa in that dir [22:24] only client.conf [22:24] hello, modprobe isn't working properly, full error here: https://pastee.org/2dad7 [22:24] b0w: have you been installing stuf using force [22:25] can someone help me with getting ubuntu being able to look into windows shared folders [22:25] ActionParsnip1: nop all i have done is via update manager latelly and regular use not using force [22:26] Xodiac, howabout you start with what exactly your problem is [22:26] b0w: weird, when did all this start? [22:26] ActionParsnip1: to nite, after the kernel update [22:26] monty_: did you compile your own kernel? [22:26] no [22:26] APERSON: well like i said I have a ubuntu box that WANTS TO connect to a windows computer that is sharing folders I got SAMBA already installed [22:27] joaopinto: Yes, i have plenty storage space [22:27] ActionParsnip1: it's a vps [22:27] monty_: vps? [22:27] ActionParsnip1: i mean last nite heheh [22:27] Xodiac, smb://hostname/share not working? [22:27] APERSON: same error! I think the package might be corrupted. I'll delete and try redownloading [22:27] APERSON: let me check === default is now known as acad [22:27] Xodiac, mine don't alway show up, but I can still access them [22:28] CHOKE MOTHER FUCKERS [22:28] b0w: hmm, can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [22:28] does anybody know how to move the image preview window in gthumb to the right side? it being on the left is driving me insane. [22:28] APERSON: is there anyway I can view the files as a list [22:28] Xodiac, instead of a folder view? [22:29] thermal_: For windows games you usually need to change the resolution inside the game. [22:29] hi. i installed usb-creator with apt, but now it wont run when i try 'usb-creator' in the terminal [22:30] APERSON: you know how you connect from using a windows computer to ubuntu and you can view files thats what I want to do with the ubuntu machine connecting to windows [22:30] how do I partition my HDD so I can put windows on it too? [22:30] Xodiac: how are youtrying to do that please? [22:30] Alexia_Death, can't change the resolution of starcraft [22:30] doltek, gparted [22:30] APERSON, already did, wine won't scale [22:30] Xodiac, well, did you try my previous suggestion? I need to know what you've tried first [22:31] only thing that I've heard of that can scale is compiz, but compiz doesn't work with xinerama... [22:31] thermal_, mine does [22:31] Alexia_Death: I have ubuntu 9.10 i installed samba and when i go to places and then network and then the computer i want to connect it asks for the username and password i tried using the password but it doesnt work and it shouldnt require a username password [22:31] APERSON: Yep, that worked! Seems my preferred apt mirror had a corrupt package? The equally scary explanation is it got corrupted on my own computer. Hmm... [22:31] thermal_: never played starcraft, but scale is not what you need I think, you just need to set biger resolution. [22:31] bep: ok i am on intrepid so i figured it would be in the same place can you try to locate it with "locate default.pa" [22:31] thermal_: have you asked in #winehq ? [22:31] APERSON: yes i have in the natalus [22:32] bartmon, good to see it works now, I've had that happen before [22:32] APERSON, your's does what? scale wine? yes wine will make a larger virtual desktop, but it won't make a window that is 640x480 go bigger [22:32] hmm i have imported emerald themes. But nothing happens....The theme is not changing...do i need to do something more? [22:32] Alexia_Death, you literally can't change the resolution of starcraft, its fixed at 640x480 [22:32] thermal_, I'm just saying I have compiz and xinerama going fine [22:32] ActionParsnip1, yes I have, wine won't adjust it [22:32] If i write emerald --replace nothing happens either [22:32] ctmjr: nothing found [22:32] APERSON, across multiple video cards? [22:32] am i missing something? [22:33] thermal_, just one [22:33] Hi all. Getting "FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/modules.dep" & "Unable to find medium containing a live system" in casper.log. Was running fine for over a month until running Update Manager last night. I do have 2.6.31-14-generic still. [22:33] APERSON, yeah compiz works fine with twinview, it fails horribly with multiple video cards and xinerama [22:33] thermal_: if the game wont allow you to that then make it full screen nothong more you can do [22:33] thermal_: try using a virtual wine desktop, set it up in winecfg [22:33] hey I got a couple newbie questions if anyone is willing to indulge me :D [22:34] thermal_: is there anything in the appdb about the app being weird? [22:34] falconheart, the best place to start is by asking yoru question [22:34] anyone? [22:34] Diverdude: run it from terminal, see what it says [22:34] Alexia_Death, no it is full screen, wine and virtual box won't expand the 640x480 full screen out [22:34] is there anyway to get ubunt to look at shared folders in windows using samba [22:34] 'without username and passwor [22:34] does anyone know a way to make it so I don't have to enter in my password to login to my wifi? it's rather annoying [22:34] ActionParsnip1, I did, thats what I'm saying, the wine virtual desktop won't expand fixed size apps [22:34] ActionParsnip1, it says nothing...it just hangs [22:34] thermal_: you have a laptop? [22:35] Diverdude: then its running [22:35] the version of gdmap in universe doesn't have 64-bit file sizes enabled [22:35] ok I'm on ubuntu hardy because it's alot faster and more stable for me than the newer versions (tried jaunty and karmic - karmic was just buggy as heck.. anyway) the software in the hardy repo is really outdated. I'm compiling alot of my own stuff from source as a result but I was wondering.. can I use jaunty/karmic repos with hardy? will it mess anything up? [22:35] thermal_: or an ldc monitor? [22:35] how can i list processes running and see what user they are running through [22:35] ActionParsnip1, but the theme is not changed [22:35] who do i complain to? [22:35] Alexia_Death, yes I do, but I don't use my laptop at home, trying to get this working on my desktop [22:35] What is the best procedure for migrating user data for three users from a /home partition on one hdd to a /home partition on another hdd with a fresh install? The source hdd is connected via usb, while the destination hdd is installed in the computer. [22:35] anyone have a system76 netbook? [22:35] Diverdude: set the theme in prefs, it will change in front of your eyes [22:35] Alexia_Death, my desktop monitors are lcds [22:35] APERSON: you can remove the keyring password if there are no other secrets stored [22:36] bep: go to System | Administration | System Monitor [22:36] thermal_: some displays (LCD, laptops) display lower rez in a box and wont scal it over scree, [22:36] guntbert, I did that [22:36] ubuntu-captainm1: i mean from command line [22:36] thermal_: tried a later windows version in winecfg? [22:36] ActionParsnip1, hmm set the theme in prefs? [22:36] oh, try "ps -ef" [22:36] thermal_: is that what happens for you?' [22:36] APERSON: computer password or network key? If comp. password there should be a question whether the access to key manager is allowed always or only once [22:36] ok thanks [22:36] ActionParsnip1, i dont follow you [22:36] sure [22:36] Diverdude: under prefs there is an emerald theme manager, import it there [22:36] bartmon, it 'nm-applet would like to access the keyring' [22:37] Alexia_Death, I can run wine virtual desktop and virtual box perfectly fine at higher res, but starcraft drops down to 640x480 [22:37] Getting "FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/modules.dep" & "Unable to find medium containing a live system" in casper.log. Was running fine for over a month until running Update Manager last night. I do have 2.6.31-14-generic still. [22:37] I've rm -r ~/.gnome2/keyring === root is now known as Guest13568 [22:37] APERSON: i had that, switched to wicd and all was well [22:37] ActionParsnip1, hmm nothing happens [22:37] ActionParsnip1, I'd like to keep nm-applet as is :/ [22:37] thermal_: dont run it in a virtual desktop. [22:37] ActionParsnip1, running xp in wine cfg and virtual desktop [22:37] APERSON: I didn't suggest to remove the keyring, only the password [22:38] thermal_: if that is used then thats what it scales [22:38] ActionParsnip1, in the terminal it says Reloading... but nothing happens [22:38] bep: well that's how i fixed mine but hold on will research a bit and see what i find [22:38] guntbert, there is no menu option to reset the password for it [22:38] thermal_: same for virtualbox. [22:38] APERSON: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=f5de5634f4448d733a599c23e4bb0257&p=2776815&postcount=1 [22:38] I was also wondering if it would mess anything up if I compile the newest nautilus and install it? do I need to remove this version first or will it update automatically? [22:38] thermal_: thats just how it works. [22:38] Diverdude: try an x restart [22:38] key I just installed fresh and switched my shell to zsh after installing it. I am able to log in on any tty, but when I try to log into X, it forwards me to tty1 for a second and then brings me back to gdm [22:39] ActionParsnip1, in another terminal? [22:39] anyone know why this might be? [22:39] how to expand dll file on ubuntu ??????? [22:39] for some reason, i cannot ssh to my newly installed ubuntu jaunty pc, i have installed openssh-server, but putty just says "Network error: Software caused connection abort" ... any ideas? [22:39] ActionParsnip1, I'll try that. I looked all last night and didn't come across that [22:39] jdahm: no idea. sorry. [22:39] Diverdude: no, press ALT + K + Printscreen, your display will restart and hopefully apply [22:39] Any ideas folks? Getting "FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/modules.dep" & "Unable to find medium containing a live system" in casper.log. Was running fine for over a month until running Update Manager last night. I do have 2.6.31-14-generic still.

[22:41] right now im getting "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." [22:41] so can anyone help me [22:41] [22:41] xodiac,,,what was your question. [22:41] ? [22:41] I need directions or a link to a good tutorial on how to migrate user data for several users from a /home partition on one hdd to a /home partition on another hdd containing a fresh Karmic install. The source hdd is connected via usb, while the destination hdd is installed in the computer. I'm currently booted into the liveCD desktop, so I can manipulate the partitions easily, I just need a walk-through of the procedure. [22:42] APERSON: My way is this: Applications/accessories/passwords and keyrings, first tab, right click on passwords:login, change password [22:42] ActionParsnip1, any ideas on what is going on? [22:42] twig11: You probably want to mount both drives then perform the copy operation [22:42] how can I add a location to my "places" menu? [22:42] damnit... running it in wine just changed one of my monitors down to displaying 640x480 pixels at a time but still being 1920x1080 and now I don't know how to get it back besides restarting gnome [22:43] ubuntu-captainml: I installed samba and trying to connect to windows shared folders but it keeps asking for username and password [22:43] soreau: ok I have them mounted [22:43] guntbert, thanks, that's better than what all the info I've read, they all say edit/prefs/change pass [22:43] what next? [22:43] anybody know if it's safe to use jaunty/karmic software repos with hardy? [22:43] xodiac,,,,is it Windows that is requiring the username and password? [22:43] twig11: Then you should be able to do it easily with nautilus (file browser) [22:44] falconheart, not advised [22:44] can anyone help me with problem about "open with dialog"? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1353013 [22:44] ActionParsnip1, are you there? [22:44] APERSON: those are for the individual passwords, not for the keyring itself [22:44] Diverdude: yeah man [22:44] aperson: ok, is there a repo that I can get more up-to-date software for hardy? I'm compiling most stuff myself. [22:44] Xodiac,,,,my Windows does require it per my config,,,and I just use a shell script to do the mount each time. [22:44] ubuntu-captainml: no its the ubuntu machine on my other windows computer i can connect just fine and look at his shared foders [22:44] soreau: just copy the user folders out of the source /home into the destination /home? [22:45] xodiac,,,gotta go. sorry. [22:45] twig11: Yes [22:45] shit... this isn't brain surgery I just want to play an old video game [22:45] ubuntu-captainml: no problem [22:45] screw this [22:45] falconheart, I'd just look around for some ppas [22:45] ActionParsnip1, Im a bit lost on whats going on here...nothing happens...the theme is not changing :( [22:45] anyone have a system76 netbook? [22:46] thermal_: You can leave if you're going to have an attitude. Please watch your language [22:46] falconheart, I'd also recommend that if you're compiling things yourself, that you use checkinstall to make debs and install those [22:46] Diverdude: no idea then dude, emerald is an unmaintained project [22:46] ActionParsnip1, Are there any better ways to handle themes? [22:46] Diverdude: not sure, never been bothered for themes [22:46] greets all; I have a missing glib and cannot configure the amanda tarball to build it. Its either too old, or needs a 32 bit wrapper. Ideas? Thanks [22:46] aperson: ok I can start doing that. Can I ask why? [22:47] ActionParsnip1, WHat do you then do? [22:47] Diverdude: You have to make sure you have emerald running first. What is the output of 'ps ax|grep emerald|grep -v grep'? [22:47] Michalxo: if you post the text of your question *here* more people will see it (and no I don't know an answer but would like to learn it myself) [22:47] falconheart, it makes them easier to manage, and you can uninstall via a package manager [22:47] Diverdude: i use te defaults in lxde, with no wallpaper [22:47] oh, ok. makes sense. [22:47] guntbert, well... copy&paste same text.. it's almost like a spam :-( [22:48] I am asking on #gnome channel too... but I really have no idea where to look for that file :-/ [22:48] soreau, The output is this : 10693 pts/0 S+ 0:00 emerald --replace [22:48] 10703 ?

[23:36] usser, it's me again. Is there any way to make it give me the file name along with the string? [23:36] APERSON:please explain it on the other partition local [23:36] dailystruggle, again, it depends on where specifically that mail is stored. It's like in your home directory [23:36] HamptonSam: You may have to install the storage device manager... "sudo apt-get install pysdm" [23:37] ok I find that home dir what then [23:37] nick {VOID} === void is now known as {VOID} [23:37] I squeezed the coal deposits, but only came out with a lowfat cajun buffalo chicken $5dollar foot long [23:37] karma_police, pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:37] guess i will just go back to using win7 [23:37] dailystruggle, not the home dir, but somewhere inside of it [23:37] |!ops | wvc continues off-topic [23:37] how do u do that? i am new to ubuntu [23:37] <{VOID}> anyone here ever have problems with XBMC taking up 99% cpu?

[23:41] you have a link on the prefs [23:41] hi all anybody have problem in 9.10 with dual monitor with intel bacause i can't get XV accelleration in video playback [23:42] I am trying to boot into a headless box. I was thinking of using a USB key w/ ubuntu on it [23:42] Hi everyone. Had quick question. I am looking for a site similiar to PasteBin that allows you to upload text but removes it after a duration of time. Anyone know of a site that does this beside PasteBin? [23:42] Zy: http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-64 [23:42] unfortunately it won't have SSH setup to start... [23:42] usser: ^^^ [23:42] HamptonSam, have you updated at all? [23:42] Is there a way to merge two partitions? [23:42] rather than typing blind, I was wondering. does ubuntu server have ssh presetup? [23:42] HamptonSam, you need to sudo apt-get update first [23:42] or should I maybe just try some other distro? [23:42] Ah righjt. [23:42] Purpley, essentially no. [23:42] right* [23:42] Purpley: Not that I know of, unless you use LVM. [23:42] jpds: i know there is a deb on skype's website, just wondering why medibuntu doesnt package it.. [23:42] jpds, Zy oh neato, beta software from a company that doesnt give a damn about linux [23:42] since I want to install ubuntu on it, having it on the USB would be a timesaver [23:42] Purpley, it's best to delete one and expand the other [23:42] APERSON: same thing :P [23:43] i have been ubunting since october... i have enjoyed it... this is the first real snag i have run into [23:43] Yeah that would work too; can I use KDE Partition manager to do that? [23:43] damn bootloaders..lol [23:43] anyone fix the audio issue in 9.10 yet? [23:43] so should I use terminal or nautilus [23:43] HamptonSam: As aperson suggested try system -> adiminstration -> update manager [23:44] Purpley, you have to do it from a live cd [23:44] ? [23:44] AdvancedN00b: there's only 1? [23:44] usser: i would gladly change if my friends all abandon skype together =( [23:44] Why?

[23:45] Purpley, under administration [23:45] AdvancedN00b: if that doesnt fix it, file a bug [23:45] art.gnome.org isnt working any other sites [23:46] Thank you APERSON [23:46] draginx, works fine over here [23:46] HamptonSam: Ok now were getting somewhere, hopefully [23:46] besides gnome look [23:46] So I should do everything on a live cd?
