[00:00] yeah, i know, but i can't get to work Guake Terminal, i create an activator and don't know what the path is to Guake Terminal [00:00] google gento? what is gento?another distro?

[00:03] draginx, chrome is built from chromium [00:04] i.e. I want to use the XF88AudioPlay button for music playback when I'm using my external keyboard, but when I use the laptop keyboard it doesn't have that key so I'd like to have Super+X mapped to play music as well. [00:04] zoug....no its more of a crontab for things that need sudo or root access [00:04] {VOID}, true. about all i can offer .. that was my experience.

[01:15] hello ppl [01:15] nalsa: that's supposed to work. You'ver rebooted since the install? [01:16] Getting "Unable to find medium containing a live file system" after running Update Manager. Can anyone assist? [01:16] yes I have rebooted [01:16] I am having trouble installing ubuntu on my desktop. i can install win7, winXP, and osx86 but when i attempt to install ubuntu, it flashes some white lines on the screen then sits black indeffinitely. any thoughts? [01:17] Diverdude: nothing much happens, it just fails and you'd have to reissue the command by hand after the network comes up [01:17] nalsa: could also try: sudo gdm start I personally suggest you download, MD5 test, burn and install the DESKTOP system as thats what your final aim is. I am baffled why you are doing that way and not suprised you are getting issues [01:17] I have actually installed it twice-- first time I did it I thought it was a corrupt install-- so I did a full reinstall of the server package and got it working fine- and installed the ubuntu-desktop and it did the same thing-- [01:17] nalsa: you can run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [01:17] actionparsnip: I was under the impression server edition and more packages on the default install [01:18] echotone: maybe a graphics issue, you should try the alternate install cd [01:18] it was the alt cd [01:18] echotone: oh [01:18] Hi, where can i get help to configure my thomson adsl modem via telnet with 4 M DSL connection?? [01:18] actionparnsip: thanks ill try that real quick [01:18] losha, ok....and will it try again at next reboot or do i have to reenable it again? [01:18] nalsa: Well, I did the same as you, and I never got the desktop working satisfactorily, lots of X11 stuff missing. In the end, I installed ubuntu-desktop instead... [01:18] and i can install every os except ubuntu. win7 detects both monitors and runs great. [01:18] Diverdude: what did you to do ' [01:18] Diverdude: Um, what did you to do 'enable' it? [01:19] nalsa: if you install the desktop package you get the desktop system but will get less hastle [01:19] losha, nothing...just wrote the line you helped me with [01:19] Diverdude: then that's all you'll need next time too... [01:20] nalsa: ActionParsnip: a *lot* less hassle... [01:20] Diverdude, but if its /etc/fstab/ already then I guess i dont have to put it there again right? [01:20] is it prety easy to setup a lamp server on the desktop? [01:20] !lamp | nalsa [01:20] nalsa: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[01:21] !lamp | nalsa [01:21] nalsa, please see my private message [01:22] losha, so I just put the sshfs command in the end of /etc/fstab ? [01:22] Diverdude: in theory, but you were right. If for some reason, the network is slow to come up, the mount in /etc/fstab might fail (fstab was really designed for disks which are always ready') and you'll have to issue the command by hand... [01:23] Diverdude: better to make a command and run it by hand. The remote machine might be unavailable or down etc... [01:23] when Bleachbit is running, why does it sit for ages when it hits about 60% ? [01:23] can you help me rip a dvd image?

[01:24] my windows xp disk [01:24] use it in virtualbox [01:24] losha, yeah....but if its not available at boottime i can just do it by hand.....and next time i boot it will just try again right? [01:25] eman: dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/XP32.iso [01:25] Diverdude: yes.... [01:25] dailystruggle,,,don't know dude. hopefully someone else can help you. sorry. [01:25] anyone running chromium?

[01:28] losha, how do i then supply the password? [01:28] Gate: i think you need to copy the whole directory then. im not sure where the key is stored though [01:29] I am copying the whole home folder, thanks. Just trying to hunt down some instructions or a manual that describes how to unencrypt them. [01:29] wgrant i tried that with 8 to 8.10 and it was soooooo messed up. i also need to encrypt the LVM this time [01:29] JordanCook: it's not recognising the file as tcl and trying to execute the contents as shell commands. That usually means the file isn't meant to be executed directly, i.e. that some other tcl file is supposed to invoke it. Make sense? [01:29] Getting "Unable to find medium containing a live file system" after running Update Manager. Can anyone assist? [01:29] Gate: i think there's a file in there when its not unlocked that says how to open it, isnt there? [01:29] Gate, maco: I believe the passphrase is stored (encrypted to your login password) in /home/.ecryptfs/USERNAME/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase [01:30] losha: do you know how i can fix this issue? [01:30] gotmilk82: just backup /etc/apt/sources.list [01:30] wgrant right now I only have my user directory encrypted and according to our security guy, thats not enough [01:30] Gate:: 'ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase' will get you the raw key. [01:30] gotmilk82: It depends on the purpose of the encryption. [01:30] losha, ?? [01:30] Diverdude: oops. You either have to arrange for passwordless login over ssh, which is a hassle, or just do it manually (*much* simpler)... [01:30] wgrant: OK, thanks.

[01:31] they just aren't happy since they got the PGP whole disk encryption for the Windows boxes... :( [01:31] losha, sorry i thought you didnt see it [01:32] JordanCook: like I say, I think you're supposed to be executing a different file. Where did this stuff come from and what's it for? [01:32] losha, so I have to make a trust relationship then? [01:32] losha, like such a keyfile [01:32] stupid question: how does one know if a ppa is safe or not? [01:33] u dont [01:33] gotmilk82: you don't [01:33] gotmilk82: one doeesn't [01:33] losha, like an SSH key pair [01:33] hi [01:33] gotmilk82: if you know the person who made the ppa and trust them not to be jerks....ok [01:33] One must trust the owners of the PPA. [01:33] i'm frecnh [01:33] gotmilk82: you dont [01:33] losha: its a flashpolicy tcl file. it is supposed to serv crossdomain.xml. i got it from http://blog.zappmonkey.com/2008/01/13/tcltk-flash-socket-policy-server/ [01:33] gotmilk82: i tend to trust PPAs that are owned by ubuntu developers [01:33] can we create a server? [01:33] !fr | ilpresidente [01:33] I tend to trust that ppa's would be taken down within 5 minutes if they contained malicious software [01:33] :P [01:33] ilpresidente: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[01:34] CShadowRun: you really think they're monitored? [01:34] gotmilk82: i just go for it as i backup my data so i dont care if my desktop system gets screwed [01:34] ok [01:34] nope, i don't think they are monitored [01:34] shhhh, I wont tell the security guys if you don't ... LOL [01:34] but just like the resent problem on gnome-look that lasted all of 5 minutes [01:34] There are approximately an AWFUL LOT of PPAs. [01:34] it doesn't last long [01:34] maco [01:34] :) [01:34] Diverdude: yeah, ssh login using keys. There are web pages on it. I don't think it's a good idea for sshfs though, because at some point, you still need a keyphrase to unlock the local keys [01:34] I am with you ActionParnip [01:34] ilpresidente: #ubuntu-fr [01:34] are you in guadeloupe [01:34] ah, maco wgrant: I just realized that the .encryptfs symlink is broken on the system, which is why it won't unencrypt with the normal command. Hunting for why that link is broken now [01:34] I backup too [01:35] ilpresidente: no [01:35] Gate: Uhoh. [01:35] so no worries [01:35] Diverdude: so I think I was wrong to propose the /etc/fstab solution... [01:35] ok [01:35] Getting "Unable to find medium containing a live file system" after running Update Manager. Can anyone assist? [01:36] losha, ok....better to make a script the mounts all drives i need to mount and then associate this with a menu entry i guess...right?

That way it can prompt you for any passwords it needs, and it won't try mounting until you tell it to... [01:37] what does it means MPlayer GUI requires X11? [01:37] what I should install [01:37] Witch-King-VT: what are you trying to accomplish exactly? [01:37] Witch-King-VT: if you want a gui, you need a desktop system [01:37] Witch-King-VT: check into smplayer instead [01:38] wgrant: DUH! I mounted the drive on a live-cd, and that symlink is absolute, so it is looking for that folder on the live-cd. :) I found the private keys! [01:38] Witch-King-VT: mplayer can be ran and controlled from command line [01:38] losha: i get http://pastebin.com/m2120a815 now [01:38] Gate: you mounted the partition, you can't mount disks [01:38] Gate: Excellent. Now, be veeeeery careful with them! [01:38] Witch-King-VT: you can even run mplayer video from console if you got framebuffer running [01:38] ActionParsnip: yeah, yeah yeah whatever :) [01:38] slip of the tounge [01:38] ;) [01:38] wgrant: cp is my friend [01:39] cp just wants your money [01:39] I compile mplayer svn everithing is ok until a give command gmplayer [01:39] Witch-King-VT: mplayer is in the repositories and it includes the gui [01:39] thanks for your help guys, I think I can get the data now that I know where the private keys are [01:40] Witch-King-VT: i would suggest you look at smplayer, they also keep your mplayer up to date. [01:40] JordanCook: I think it means something is already running on that port (843). Try running: netstat -an | egrep 843 and see what it says....

[01:47] An icon for one of my partitions disappeared from my desktop, i can still access the partition, but I cant get the icon back... Help? [01:47] evening all. little question, I'm setting up a dual boot win7/kubuntu system on a brand new comp and I came across this little tidbit in the ubuntuguide: "DO NOT USE the Karmic Koala Desktop edition if you use a boot partition, use multiple OS (more than 2), or chainload bootloaders. The Ubuntu installer will overwrite your Master Boot Record and you will later be forced to recreate it." If I'm just doing a fresh install of win7 and then [01:47] ubuntu is this really a problem? [01:48] mdb3624: lockups are very hard to diagnose. It's usually a hardware issue. Start by running a memtest overnight... [01:48] whoa, chromium is very fast [01:48] hi [01:48] mer| what version u running [01:48] Proteus_: ubuntuguide.org is not an offical site, so some of the info may not be accurate enough or even recommended [01:48] chaotikcore,,,,9.10 [01:49] hello! is there any program that will pick songs similar in style/taste? i guess sort of like pandora, but for my music, and not based on user rankings [01:49] sebsebseb, where would you suggest I go instead? [01:49] how can i dual boot with win7 [01:49] i guess it'd have to analyze each song and figure out stuff from it, that "stuff" is what i find to be the hard part, what parameters would one even use: temp0? [01:49] gp5st: All programs like that need some sort of multi-user control. [01:49] !new | Proteus_ [01:49] Proteus_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com === alex1_ is now known as alex2 [01:50] gp5st: the easiest way to do that would be to get the other users to do it for you.... [01:50] Proteus_: right ok, so your going to dual boot Kubuntu and Windows 7? [01:50] Proteus_: and there are no other OS's on there as well? [01:50] kamkow: multi-user? [01:50] sebsebseb, yeah. And I plan on having no other OSes [01:50] losha: the song couldn't be analyized and somehow figured out what songs go together? [01:50] apparentlly i had to reninstall all acm and usb drivers [01:51] gp5st: Pandora style. Because ,it allows for the program to find song similarities without analyzing them under a microscope [01:51] chaotikcore,,,,your issue was after patching too? [01:51] kamokow: but i'm just me... [01:51] Proteus_: first of all a seperate /boot partition is not needed, well with XFS and the old Grub it is, but 9.10 does not come with the old Grub, and it does not come with XFS as the default file system [01:51] Proteus_: also I am not sure, but XFS probably works with the new Grub 2 without needing a seperate /boot [01:51] mer| yep but patching overwrote acm and used an odler ver. [01:51] Proteus_: so see what I mean about bad advice for that website? [01:52] gp5st: The only things like that (in my knowledge) use an online database that is contributed to by its users [01:52] sebsebseb, so I'd basically just set the root partition as bootable? [01:52] chaotikcore,,,,how can i reinstall acm and usb when I can't boot? (although I do get to a limited shell) [01:53] Proteus_: if you install Windows after, Ubuntu/Kubuntu some other Linux distro etc, then yes it will go over the Master Boot Record [01:53] can u sudo in that shell [01:53] Proteus_: and remove the part of Grub that is in there, then only Windows will boot up, and sorting that out can be tricky espesailly for new users [01:53] Proteus_: that is why it is recommended to have Windows installed first [01:53] kamokow: hmmm, do you know of an open one? i'm sure given time i could deduce tempo, and some rudimentry style parameter? i'm curious what else i'd need [01:53] sebsebseb, ahh, that makes more sense [01:54] gp5st: No sorry :-/ [01:54] chaotikcore,,,,not sure. i'll have to try. will need to leave IM to reboot. what should I do if I *can* sudo. [01:54] gp5st: it's harder than you think to do that. One of those 'artificial intelligence' things.... [01:54] sebsebseb, but with GRUB2 and karmic I don't need a dedicated boot partition? [01:54] Proteus_: ,but saying don't install Karmic, because of what you copied in, that's silly [01:54] losha: what ai? i deduce parameters from different songs and see which ones cluster? [01:54] apt-get acm [01:55] have you tried gparted to read [01:55] Proteus_: by default Ubuntu puts everything into / and does a swap for people when doing the guided install [01:55] gp5st: we did that for a research thing in school [01:55] kamokow: hmm, i wonder how possible it would be to have it deduce different instruments and keys [01:55] it somewhat works [01:55] haha [01:55] gp5st: if you can get a reliable system that does that, you can sell it to amazon for millions.... [01:55] adityal: i knew i couldn't be first! [01:55] Proteus_: however having a seperate /home is useful [01:55] but its nowhere as good to differentiate instruments [01:55] mer| hold up may have answer [01:55] chaotikcore,,,,ok [01:56] adityal: yeah, i could see that being very difficult [01:56] losha: he wouldnt need amazon, he could sell it easily elsewhere :P [01:56] grub loads fine right [01:56] but we were able to see pretty good distinction in timbre between songs that were rated "happy" vs stuffthat was "sad" or "angry" in a survey [01:56] chaotikcore,,,,no grub in use. just booting straight to the usb drive. [01:56] Proteus_: you will also get Ext4 as the default file system in Karmic, if you do manual install in the installer, you can choose a file system for the installer, but also set up seperate /home. easier to set them up on a new install rather than after woulds. Home is where your data would go, and also program user data, for example the Firefox profile. [01:57] Hi, in 9.04 how can I make the icons representing running programs in the taskbar expand to fill the whole taskbar? [01:57] but you get to the issue of what makes a song "classical" or "soft rock" or "hard rock"? tempo? avg volume and std dev of volume? how is "jazz" different from classical? how does one define those? [01:57] Proteus_: a seperate /boot is not needed if you do Ext4 or Ext3 etc [01:57] losha: well it's a matter of getting the params more than the matching/clustering [01:57] !dualboot | Proteus_ [01:57] Proteus_: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:57] !ot | gp5st [01:57] gp5st: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

(this uses a seperate bootloader adn links to each os individual grub bootloader) http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=143973 [02:01] !cmake [02:01] how do i compile with cmake? [02:01] sebsebseb, is there a way with ext4 to just prevent /home from growing so much it interferes with the system when if fills up? I'm not sure how to balance the partitions at the moment since my usage patterns are going to evolve as I swtich fom school to research to dabbling with art with this new comp [02:01] hardware mounter [02:02] ubuntubot knows nothing about cmake [02:02] sebsebseb, I sincerely thank you for your time and assistance as well [02:02] Proteus_: oh right [02:02] nanomachine: from the parent directory of the source type "cmake srcdirame/" then itll do stuff and generate a makefile, then you use the Makefile as usual [02:02] Proteus_: when you ready to install Ubuntu? now? [02:02] nanomachine: cmake is like the ./configure step [02:02] chaotikcore,,,,oh ok. and the command for usb would be "sudo apt-get usb"? [02:02] Proteus_: oh yes something I should mention is this, if Windows 7 is like Vista you should let it resize itself, or data loss might happen [02:03] no little more tricky let me find out [02:03] sebsebseb, I'm setting up partions now, then I'm gong to install win7 into it's partition, then reboot and let ubuntu do it's thing [02:03] ^partitions [02:03] Proteus_: that's one why to do it preperae things a bit with gparted first [02:03] maco, theres several src inside the extracted tar file directory [02:03] nanomachine: outside the extracted directory [02:03] Proteus_: way not why, good idea to set up a seperate /home as I suggested :) [02:03] are you trying to install fronm usb in widows [02:04] nanomachine: and give it the name of the extracted directory [02:04] hola [02:04] hay alguien? [02:04] !es | fran [02:04] fran: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:04] So, my desktop isnt working at all, none of the icons are showing up for anything, and I cant right click or anything. If I goto my desktop in the file browser I can see everything, but nothing shows up on the actual desktop itself. [02:04] ok === fran is now known as Guest81369 [02:04] chaotikcore,,,,no. i was going to boot back to the point that it fails and then use the shell. it's not a full shell though. [02:05] whenthis machine downloads the latest updates is it possible to somehow xfer these over to my other ubuntu desktops instead of downloading via each machine ? [02:05] sebsebseb, if ext4 has a good growfs tool I suppose a separate /home would keep things clean - how large would you recommening making the /home partition? [02:05] have u seen this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ [02:05] Proteus_: Ext4 is not a tool, it's a file system, gparted is a partitions tool [02:05] sebsebseb, I know [02:05] chaotikcore,,,,It's the BusyBox shell, whatever that is. [02:06] chaotikcore,,,,let me look at that link... [02:06] u need root shell for all this [02:06] sebsebseb, but I've tried actually resizing an ex4 partiton [02:06] Proteus_: 10 to 12GB for / a bit of SWAP space, that depends on RAM and if you want to hibernate, if you do some SWAP space or not bother. Make a big seperate /home [02:06] I've never tried, rather [02:06] !swap | Proteus_ [02:06] Proteus_: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [02:07] anyone here have grub-fu i need help on something [02:07] meow|grub 1 or 2 [02:07] sebsebseb, as I understand it a swapfile can't be used for hibernation, correct? [02:07] chaotikcore,,,,hmmm. well, i'm getting the filesystem-squashfs and the casper-rw files mounted right now. maybe i'll be able to figure something out from there... [02:07] only a /swap partiton? [02:07] Proteus_: to hibernate you need swap space [02:07] chaotikcore, grub 1 mainly [02:08] Proteus_: as far as I know for swap you can have a swap partition or a file and it doesn't matter [02:08] what do u need [02:08] Hello there. I'm having trouble with SCIM. I've installed it along with Anthy, but I can't seem to get it to do anything, regardless of configuration. I set my preferences, set up the hot keys, then started up the tray icon that sits there next to the clock, but no matter what I press, it doesn't seem to want to switch to Japanese. [02:08] Proteus_: How much RAM do you have? [02:08] hold on chaotikcore [02:08] sebsebseb, 8G [02:09] Proteus_: 8GB RAM hmm === TheTosh is now known as Guest46646 [02:09] Proteus_: with less than 4GB it's like basically double the RAM and have that size as the SWAP, but with 8GB, 16GB SWAP is to much really [02:09] mer| sorry i cant help in more detail [02:09] hi can someone scan this and tell me if it will link to mint8 grub2 bootloader. i will only have winxp and ubuntu9.10. (this uses a seperate grub1 bootloader and links to each os individual grub bootloader) http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=143973 === marius is now known as Guest42811 [02:09] chaotikcore,,,,thanks for your help. i appreciate it. [02:09] ^ chaotikcore [02:09] Proteus_: ok better question, are you going to hibernate the computer, or well would you like to? [02:09] yeah [02:10] can you take a look [02:10] sure [02:10] chaotikcore,,,,i'll send you something if i figure it out without fully reinstalling the system [02:10] sebsebseb, I figure I need 8G swap for hibernation but my understanding is that that much swap isn't actully that usefull in day-to-day use [02:10] mer| sound good === mmkde is now known as Guest42811 [02:10] Proteus_: exactly 16GB SWAP space would basically be a right waste of hard disk space [02:10] maco "nanomachine: cmake is like the ./configure step" how do i get specific program configure options using cmake? [02:11] Proteus_: even 8GB SWAP is probably a waste of hard disk space in your case [02:11] chaotikcore, all i have os 2 hdd one with xp onw with ubuntu 9.10 [02:11] nanomachine: that, i dont know. i havent used it that much [02:11] os = is [02:11] sebsebseb, my work invovles computational biology, evolutionary algorithms, and an interest in 3d modeling [02:11] does ubuntu have fingerprint support? [02:11] meow| grub 2 is totally diff than 1 [02:11] sebsebseb, don't I need at least as much swap as mem for hibernate? [02:11] maco: if someone has 8GB RAM, in this case Proteus_ how big should their SWAP be? [02:12] sebsebseb, Proteus_: depends, do you want to hibernate? [02:12] maco, yes, I'd like the ability to hibernate [02:12] . [02:12] Proteus_: it really depends on load. if you're going to be swapping AND hibernating, you need > 8GB [02:13] coop3r: Please turn off your away message. [02:13] chaotikcore, what that guys has done is use a seperate grub 1 bootloader that links to the os grub bootloader i was thinking that process would be able rto use teh grub 1 bootloader to link to ubuntu 9.10 grub 2 bootloader and run that. just a thought [02:13] Proteus_: add up how much swap will be in use + 8GB, and make that your swap size [02:13] this is so bizarre....if i start the laptop off of the docking station, everything is great. If I start on the docking station, the keyboard doesn't work right....if I push m I get repeating b's if I push enter, I get repeating 's .... I just tried to change BIOS for a slow POST to see if that was it...but apparently ubuntu is keeping some settings specific to the docking station? [02:14] chaotikcore, seems doable in theroy [02:14] damn meow i dont know man in theory it could work [02:14] I am having a slight problem with gnome-mplayer. The problem is nothing major but still kinda annoying. Sometimes I can see a drawing problem like one line in the screen get's drawed later then the other. Any idea how I can fix this issue? [02:14] even if I take the laptop off after the boot to login screen, the keys are still screwed up.....hrmmmmm [02:14] but thats a lot of editing [02:15] any ideas? [02:15] i am fresh out... :( [02:15] try switching to grub 2 much harder to learn but way more configurable [02:16] i am using grub 2 === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [02:16] anyone having problems connecting to msn using pidgin (it's been like this for 1 or 2 days now) - I've been using it for years [02:16] maco, ok. thanks for the advice. I've never had a comp with this much memory before I really have no idea if it will be swapping much at all even with the heavy loads I'm going to be subjecting it to [02:16] abo...yep....mine keeps crashing [02:16] abo, It has worked fine for me. [02:16] bazaar is so frustrating [02:17] Question, I'm wanting to convert from nVidia Fakeraid to Linux Softraid, can I just boot into the alternate installer (after disabling fakeraid in the bios), set up both old drives as physical volumes for RAID, and setting up my partition? (I'm running RAID-1 with only 1 partition inside of the RAID) [02:17] Proteus_: if it is and you make swap 8GB, you cn always close the memory hog program before hibernate... [02:17] is there a pidgin chanel? [02:17] abo: #pidgin ? [02:17] oh yeah, thx sebsebseb [02:18] abo: np [02:18] still having issues with grub2 [02:18] karma_police: oh yeah you again [02:18] anyone here familiar with dualbooting win7 after 9.10 install? [02:18] karma_police: Grub 2 is new for all of us, since Grub 2 is new [02:19] how do i permanently apply monitor resolution in xubuntu, it goes back to 1024x768 when i set it on 1366x768 [02:19] after restart [02:19] glad i'm not the only one in the dark... i'm a noob so there is a lot i have to learn anyways [02:19] something tells me I am not going to get an answer in #ubuntu-laptop about this.... ;) [02:19] lxrnr [02:19] karma_police: I gave options before I remember [02:19] * aidave_ strangles bazaar [02:19] How do i go about making a USB-Live Ubuntu to boot up into ubuntu live and/or install ubuntu karmic ? (dvd on laptop is busted), perferably he easyest method [02:19] lloyd: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [02:20] karma_police: Ubuntu was already on there? and you wanted to put Windows 7 on, wasn't it? [02:21] karma_police: ,but for some reason/s you didn't want to remove that install and put Windows 7 on first [02:21] exactly [02:21] i followed the forums about reinstalling grub2 [02:21] karma_police: you also had your actsaul data backed up on an external hard disk? [02:21] now when i reboot i get a screen that has "grub> [02:22] karma_police looks like it is missing the configurations [02:22] i had my music files and important docs on separate hdd.. all ubuntu related sys files are on primary partition [02:23] @maco im using xubuntu not ubuntu [02:23] karma_police: yeah which is the default everything in / in cluding home, plus some swap space [02:23] lloyd: xubuntu uses gdm just like ubuntu, doesnt it? [02:23] @maco i dont know [02:23] !gdm [02:23] lloyd: i'm pretty sure they both use gdm, and i *know* .xprofile is the same regardless of kubuntu, ubuntu, or xubuntu [02:24] all my files are intact... it seems my grub is just misconfigured or not configured at all? i dunno [02:24] karma_police: if you create a seperate /home partition, you could do my partition idea. re installing Grub 2, or doing that, you will learn something either way [02:24] yo, what is the diffrence between Nvida and Ati in ubuntu? [02:24] is there a simple way? [02:24] @maco is there a simple way? [02:24] when i initially installed win7 it wouldn't give me a bootloader menu [02:24] lloyd: er...that wiki page explains it [02:24] ati has better multimonitor for me than nvidia [02:24] brando753: drivers for video cards from two different companies [02:24] is there a good way to search the ppas [02:25] lloyd: run the commands it says, copy and paste into a file, log out, log back in [02:25] nvidia is better supported [02:25] karma_police: might need a seperate /usr as well, for all Ubuntu settings to remian in tact, after a clean install of / [02:25] you mean just backup my home folder and reinstall? [02:25] I just installed 9.10 onto a system with Debian Sid (sidux) and Windows 7. When I boot, the Sidux grub menu still displays. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu recognized the other two installs...but no 'buntu grub menu... [02:25] karma_police: and when putting a new / on you will put Grub 2 on. also I think you can maybe use the Live CD don't format the partitions and re install Grub like that. [02:26] ah...cool I think I found it.... [02:26] i'm on the live usb right now [02:26] wilberfan, you over wrote grub [02:26] I need to upgrade my pidgin, I'm currenly on version 2.4.1 and want to upgrade to 2.6.4, running "sudo apt-get upgrade pidgin" says there is no upgrades available, any ideas how can I upgrade? [02:26] i wish i knew what to compARE the grub.cfg file to [02:26] thiebaude: i WANTED to overwrite the grub...but I don't think it overwrote properly? [02:26] karma_police: Why don't you want to just re install Ubuntu? Things are way easier that way [02:26] wilberfan, ok [02:27] does Ati crossfire work well in ubuntu? [02:27] i would.. if its just a config file that could be reconfigured i would rather fix that and learn from it.. but i may have to fresh install anyway [02:27] so its recommended to install windows first? [02:27] karma_police: yes [02:28] no way to load windows using grub as of yet? [02:28] karma_police: oh yeah depending on what you want to use it for, well maybe you don't have a proper reason to have on dual boot, and also depending on your computer how much RAM etc [02:28] karma_police: if you put Windows on now, it will go over the part of Grub in the Master Boot Record [02:28] i have 2.8 dual core with 4gb of ram and running 64 bit os's [02:29] karma_police: there is a way to get the Windows boot loader to boot up Grub though, first you also have to get the WIndows boot loader showing. There is also a way to re install Grub 2 [02:29] is some samba/winbind expert around here? [02:29] i reinstalled grub2.. thats where i am stuck now... it boots to some sort of grub command promt [02:30] how do i permanently apply monitor resolution in xubuntu, it goes back to 1024x768 when i set it on 1366x768 [02:30] karma_police: how did you lose Grub 2 in the first place? [02:30] after restart [02:30] lxrnr [02:30] karma_police: by installing Windows yes? [02:30] abo, you need to add pidgin's PPA first [02:30] @centH0GG is that a command? [02:30] my prob initially started when i installed windows7 [02:31] i gparted a separate partition before i started [02:31] kostkon, how can I do that? [02:31] !lxrnr [02:31] karma_police: ok good, I am going to ask someone to jion here, that can probably help you then [02:31] Can anyone else play the game here, and if so, what am I missing? http://www.classiconlinegames.nl/arcade/112-galaxian [02:31] abo, check here: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [02:31] cool [02:31] hi [02:31] i forget the name... lxrnr something like that === Jon is now known as Guest40946 [02:31] kostkon, thanks I will now [02:31] centHOGG: xrandr ? [02:31] yeah [02:31] have any of you installed ubuntu on an intel ss4200-e NAS? I'm contemplating doing so myself, and I'd like to know if there are any potential stumbling blocks that I might not be aware of [02:31] :P [02:32] both systems were running fine..... i messed something up when i reinstalled grub2.. [02:32] brb.. gotta let dogs out [02:32] lloyd: you can stick a monitor setting in the xrandr folder and it will be a default [02:33] @centH0GG how do i do it? [02:33] google... won't take you but 30 min to figure out [02:34] I have a SATA dvd drive that I'm trying to mount in ubuntu, but I cant find the device. Are there any tricks to getting it to show up === chern0byl1 is now known as chernobyl === chernobyl is now known as chern0byl [02:35] Kardos, you a developer [02:35] thiebaude: you know how to re install Grub 2, after Windows went over it? hi by the way [02:36] not really, o [02:36] *no [02:36] karma_police, you a developer or just using a fancy nick [02:36] sebsebseb, i never knew how to do that, and i have done many dual boots [02:36] thiebaude: yeah same here [02:36] dont install windows 7 in a partition [02:36] eclipse_: they are usually named /dev/sr0, /dev/sr1 etc. Try running eject /dev/sr0 etc. and see if the tray opens [02:36] thiebaude: don't install Windows 7 in a partition? [02:36] yes [02:36] Is there a way to disconnect ssh connections when the network manager network connection changes? [02:37] thiebaude: what? [02:37] ok [02:37] correct [02:37] thiebaude: uhmm Windows 7 has to be installed into a partition or a virtual machine, so what do you mean? [02:37] sebsebseb: this doesn't work? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD (haven't tried it yet myself) [02:37] sebsebseb, oh i came in late, he's doing a vm, my bad [02:38] thats different then [02:38] trism: it's karma_police with the issue, I haven't read up properly about Grub 2 yet etc, to be able to help him properly. also someone that could probably help him, that I tried to get to join, had to go [02:38] zenwryly: I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Are these incoming or outgoing ssh connections? [02:39] i messed up grub2 one time and had to re-install [02:39] losha: sorry, to clarify, I'm annoyed that I have to wait for a timeout or kill ssh on another console when I change networks [02:39] losha: since the machine is often sleeping between so not much time passes [02:40] ok i'm back.. sorry [02:41] thiebaude: karma_police trism Grub has never been easy to re install! [02:41] losha there sg0 [02:41] i am finding that out now.. its especially hard for a noob [02:41] sebsebseb, yep, and at the time i followed the instructions carefully [02:42] zenwryly: I don't know of a better way than killing the sessions manually. I suppose you could try configuring keepalives so that the timeout happens more quickly? [02:42] sebsebseb: actually the original grub was pretty simple, and if the method on the wiki works, seems relatively the same except for the chroot with complicates things a bit [02:42] maybe they should of kept grub1 [02:42] eclipse_: /dev/sg0 ? [02:42] thiebaude: it can be installed into Karmic [02:42] losha, yes [02:42] losha: ok, I figured there wre network-manage hooks or somesuch [02:42] sebsebseb, i didn't know that [02:42] losha, that does not eject the drive, I think it may be a different device [02:43] trism: I haven't read up about Grub 2, but I expect the proccess for re installing will be similar to the old one. [02:43] sebsebseb, and it wont mess up grub2 [02:43] guys, has anyone tried to use usb-creator-gtk to make a usb ubuntu live , it says my 4gig usb needs to be formatted, it was showing up as sdd and sdd1, now i only see sdd, and if i format it, it mounts it, does stuff then dismounts the drive, and thats it, says it still needs to be formatted.., so how can i format this thing outside of usbcreator? [02:43] eclipse_: Not what I expected. Which os version is this? [02:43] would be good if anyone knew the format [02:43] anyone with experience installing HP all in one printers? I'm running 9.1. It 'recognized it immediately upon plugging in the USB cable, but was printing blank pages. I went to http://hplipopensource.com and downloaded the HPLIP, and installed that. But I'm still getting blank pages. (YES, my ink cart has ink in it) any ideas? [02:43] when i got to the etc/default/grub i got confused [02:44] Speaking of GRUB... I just installed 9.10--but I'm getting the grub menu from one of the other OS's on this box... [02:44] the wiki doesn't give you much info on what to do there [02:44] Ubuntu 8.10 [02:44] ie, the ubuntu grub isn't displaying... [02:44] karma_police: be very clear what your trying to do and what you have done, and trism or someone like that, can probably help you :) [02:44] eclipse_: what does 'dmesg | egrep -i dvd' say? [02:45] i used this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:45] jmyers, If you go under System > Administration > Printing then right click your printer, and go to properties. Next to Make and Model, click change, let it search, and what does it come up with? [02:46] losha, no return [02:46] @RedLance stand by [02:46] jmyers, Standing by... [02:47] I get this error when installing skype: http://pastebin.com/m5d26d8f0 [02:47] please help [02:47] does broadcom-wl or broadcom STA is included on the ubuntu 9.10 cd ??? [02:47] i started off with a 9.10 install that has been running fine since release date. i wanted to dual boot win7 for school and i used gparted to resize and make a separate partition for the windows7 [02:47] eclipse_: that's bad, that suggests it isn't even seeing the dvd drive. Do you have 'Disk Utility' somewhere under the system menu? [02:47] @RedLance: HP PSC 1400 Series hpcups 3.9.10 [02:48] i logged in ubuntu after resizing to make sure no data loss or misconfig then i installed win7 on the previously made partition... when i rebooted it loads straight to windows.. skips grub altogether [02:48] jmyers, And did you chose to select from a database? [02:48] help with skype please> http://pastebin.com/m5d26d8f0 [02:49] so i followed the wiki about retoring grub from live cd and now i just get a "grub>" prompt [02:49] karma_police: oh it seems you can recover it from the Live CD :) [02:49] do theses drivers and firmwares are included in ubuntu 9.10 (b43-fwcutter, broadcom-wl and broadcom sta) ? [02:49] karma_police: did you skip the update-grub step? [02:49] i am on the livecd now [02:50] well, it told me to reboot then update grub [02:50] should i have updated grub then rebooted? [02:50] @RedLance it gave me direction to either unplug the usb cable, and continue the installation, or to restart and run hp-setup from the terminal. I unplugged/replugged the cable, and continued, but the gui portion of the installer said it recognized no printers. So I started over, and went the reboot option and ran the hp-installer. THAT time it recognized the printer, and I selected it from the gui. [02:50] trism: ok good your going to help them :) [02:51] when i reboot i have to use livecd to get back on [02:51] karma_police: yeah you need to update-grub when you are still in the chroot [02:51] i am karmic and karma... have my netbook beside me [02:51] Is there a way to install ubuntu 9.10 from a wireless connection and having my wireless working after ??? [02:51] stryker4real, how are you truing to install it? [02:52] spiky25: what nic? how old? [02:52] Hey guys I really want to run 8.04.3 LTS on my Dell Inspiron mini netbook until the 10.04 LTS release comes out but the bcm4312 wireless and the audio doesnt work with it. Is there any way to get these to work? Any way to see if its a kernel version issue? What can i do? [02:52] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:52] jmyers, Ahh, ok...Well, I know that with my LaserJet 4 I have to switch between 2 different drivers, depending on weather I want to use my duplexer, or if I want graphics to print dark enough to see...so I was hoping it would list a few more choices... [02:52] kostkon: via synaptic, but i got it with a .deb TY [02:53] stryker4real, just double click on the .deb [02:53] dell inspiron 1501 with broadcom b4311 rev 1 [02:53] @RedLance No, just the HPC 1401 All in one option was all it offered. [02:53] losha, disk manager [02:53] stryker4real, close synaptic first [02:53] karma_police: yeah, the Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD section [02:53] kostkon: i got it to work tho :) thank you [02:54] eclipse_: close enough, Run it and see if it lists the disks and dvd drive... [02:54] just hard disk partitions [02:54] jmyers, Ok, well, I guess I won't be too much help. Sorry. [02:54] # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

I'd be pulling out hair over this deal. :/ [02:56] eclipse_: I don't think the dvd drive has been recognised by the kernel. This usually means a hardware problem. Is it a known working device? Are all the connections good etc.... [02:56] this is where i am at righ now: http://pastebin.org/64139 [02:56] Hey, how do I find out waht packages need to be updated on my server I am using sudo apt-get -u upgrade, but it wont tell me anything [02:56] yea, connections are good, device works [02:56] jmyers, I know how that is...I just installed a scsi card to use my old scanjet 5p, and now my optical drives don't work.... [02:56] How could I install ubuntu 9.10 from nothing and having my wireless drivers working without being connected to my lan ??? [02:57] eclipse_: 'device works' -- you mean it has power and the blinky light comes on? [02:57] karma_police: add a # infront of the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line or it won't show the menu when you boot === meowbuntu is now known as meowpup [02:57] I would reinstall but I only have a wireless access for now [02:58] how do i edit it? [02:58] losha, yes, it works in a different machine. I'm going to try a live cd in another cd drive [02:58] help !!! [02:58] What does "realtime kernel" mean and does ubuntu use it by default? [02:58] Hay can you have a different wallpaper for each desktop like on the main website were they show expo but each desktop has its own wallpaper. Does anyone know how to do that? o.o [02:59] nevermind [02:59] karma_police: sorry, the nano screen made me think you were editing it [02:59] realtime kernel mean a more power using kernel made for audio creation ... [02:59] eclipse_: before you do that, I would try the drive in a different sata port (you will need to reboot). Just a hunch.... [02:59] ok.. i put a # there.. how do i save it? [03:00] quick question about filesystems ans raids. if I built my raid with with 128k blocks, does my fs need to be in 128k blocks as well, or will it matter? [03:00] use it only for a desktop computer used for professionnal audio creation ... [03:00] karma_police: if you're using nano, ctrl+o I think? [03:00] losha, the drive shows up in bios. [03:00] karma_police, you're probably using gedit, ctrl s [03:01] xoff ignored mumble mumle? [03:01] eclipse_: weird. Sorry, I'm out of ideas then.... [03:01] its in the terminal [03:01] losha, no problem, thanks for the help [03:01] hey, I have a question for you all, I am trying to operate hulu desktop remotely. So I can get it up and running via ssh. Is there a way I can send keyboard events via ssh, and if so, where can I go looking for that? [03:02] karma_police: no idea what you mean [03:02] how do i get out of the /file/etc/grub so i can update grub? [03:03] karma_police: I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, I thought you were following the Recover grub section of the wiki [03:03] howdy folks [03:03] poseidon: no, the default kernel is not realtime. Realtime kernels are ones which make guarantees about how long it takes to do certain operations. You want that for some sound apps so you don't get dropouts if the kernel gets busy doing other stuff. [03:04] i am * Now you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file to fit your system $ nano /etc/default/grub * When that is done you need to run update-grub to create the configuration file. [03:04] how could I reinstall my broadcom b4311 rev 01 wireless card without internet ??? [03:04] karma_police: oh, ctrl+x exits nano [03:05] im trying to use deboostrap to create a karmic image in tar.gz form [03:05] can someone answer me ? [03:05] i want to be able to tar -xzf it on the target system and it should be ready to boot [03:05] how should i go about doing this since debboostrap doesnt include grub by default... [03:06] I can't know everything, I'm not a ubuntu dev ... [03:06] streaming radio stations keep cutting off on me and I have to restart the program thats playing them, or completly restart firfox if its a flash player, to get it working again. can anyone help? [03:06] http://pastebin.org/64142 got this now [03:06] Not even the Ubuntu devs know everything [03:06] !wireless | spiky25 [03:06] spiky25: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:06] spiky25: hi, does the nic show up when you use the live cd [03:07] thats where i messed up initially.. i never hit ctrl x [03:07] Can some one tell me where to start for installing hardware drivers? I'm well versed in cpu's but first day on linux [03:07] ne171pro: Hardware drivers for what, most standard PC hardware will be supported by the Linux kernel already, with the exception of graphics cards and wireless [03:08] how can i use deboostrap to include grub? [03:08] ok, I'm installing on a sony vio [03:08] every thing seems operational [03:08] ne171pro: system > administration > hardware drivers and find out if anything is available [03:08] spiky25: are you saying you need the wireless card to work so that you can download & install the drivers for the wireless card? [03:08] karma_police: that should ok for the moment, you will likely need to do a sudo update-grub after you reboot into ubuntu so that it can search for windows 7 [03:08] any idea why gxine doesn't want to play mkv files with h264 codec? [03:09] but what about my ati radeon 920video drivers0 [03:09] streaming radio stations keep cutting off on me and I have to restart the program thats playing them, or completly restart firfox if its a flash player, to get it working again. can anyone help? [03:09] I don't have tried the live cd cause I have Archlinux 64 bits for now [03:09] ne171pro: people can get issues installing ATI [03:09] !ati | ne171pro [03:09] ne171pro: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:09] lol [03:09] spiky25, nice distro pick :D [03:09] ne171pro: why lol? [03:09] What's the off topic channel? [03:09] captblackwood: #ubuntu-offtopic [03:09] brb.. at the reboot stage [03:09] karma_police: good luck [03:09] know i was talking to the guy that said ati can issues [03:09] thanks [03:10] captblackwood: np [03:10] yes but I need more access to proprietary softwares so I switch back to ubuntu ... [03:10] its restarting now [03:10] ne171pro: what? [03:11] hi room! I tried to set up laptop to dual boot vista and ubuntu. It worked... sort of. I ended up with no "swap partition", so I can't stand-by or hibernate ubuntu. What do I need to do differently on this attempt? [03:11] spiky25, what kind of proprietary software? [03:11] is there a version of skype running on 9.10? [03:11] rodgerr, 2.0 beta? [03:11] !freedom | spiky25 [03:11] spiky25: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [03:12] I'm connected on a wireless hotspot so I need to reinstall ubuntu with a careful wireless drivers reinstall without internet after [03:12] nytek: where do I pick it up? [03:12] it loading up ubuntu now... didn't show windows.. maybe have to update grub? [03:12] karmic_police: you can add Windows to Grub later on [03:12] karmic_police: if it's not showing [03:12] rodgerr, you running ubuntu 9.10? [03:12] nero linux 4, cedega, crossover linux and crossover games mostly ... [03:12] nytek: yes? [03:12] spiky25: nero hmm [03:12] spiky25: K3B :) [03:12] rodgerr, open terminal, sudo apt-get install skype [03:12] !info k3b [03:12] k3b (source: k3b): A sophisticated KDE CD burning application. In component main, is optional. Version 1.68.0~alpha3-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 637 kB, installed size 1840 kB [03:13] karmic_police: yeah, for some reason they didn't mount proc in the chroot on the wiki so it couldn't search for it, just run sudo update-grub once you are in ubuntu and it should find it *hopefully* [03:13] !games | spiky25 [03:13] spiky25: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [03:13] k3b don't burn blue-ray disks ... [03:13] nytek: wow - who is maintaining it? Is it working well or just somewhat? [03:13] spiky25: yep there are good native games for Desktop Linux as well :) [03:13] how are you guys replying back to the person? in chat? [03:14] rodgerr, I think the company, Skype isn't opensourced. [03:14] !tab | ne171pro [03:14] ne171pro: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:14] skype is very very proprietary [03:14] sebsebseb I know about wine but I want something working well and fast ... [03:14] nytek: the company doe snot have it on their site - that's why i was amazed [03:14] frogzoo, their like Apple lol [03:14] does not [03:15] thank yall [03:15] rodgerr, yeah, it's not well advertised for linux [03:15] spiky25: maybe Virtualbox 3.0+ with the Direct3D support for some of your Windows games, depending on your hardware [03:15] it works like a charm now [03:15] karmic_police: good :) [03:15] karmic_police: excellent [03:15] i was so close to just reformatting.. feel good i rode it out' [03:15] spiky25: are you burning blue-rays with nero linux? [03:15] nytek_: do you use it?? [03:15] spiky25: also some games won't just work in Wine, but you can configure them to work well [03:15] thank u all so much [03:15] karmic_police, congratz [03:15] rodgerr, skype? [03:15] ty [03:16] yep but skype work well on any distro [03:16] karmic_police, its a great feeling when you work hard at something and get it finished. [03:16] So...can anybody tell me why my optical drives nolonger work, after installing an Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI card? [03:16] I heard that Skype has a lot of video issues on linux [03:16] i knowthis is a goofy question but can u edit the entries to just show the two os's in the grub menu? it has a few safe modes and memtests [03:16] spiky25, I find skype impossible to use on ubuntu, just my opinion though [03:16] anyone here? [03:17] RedLance: does everything work with a LiveCD? [03:17] im having problems finding some drivers [03:17] sebsebseb to configure games on wine you need a decent internet access ... [03:17] i'm a noob so yeah it feels good when i learn something new.. especially aboutlinux.. [03:17] nytek_: there - see - skype not worth installing [03:17] rodgerr, thats the reason I dont use it and microphones never work [03:17] i got a pci-e -dvi-i card on my ibm thinkcentre [03:17] nytek_ switch pulseaudio to alsa and it work pretty well [03:17] spiky25: not sure about wireless, but ndiswrapper can be used for Windows drivers [03:17] is there any chance i can use it on ubuntu? [03:17] karmic_police: you can hide memtest by doing a sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+; sudo update-grub [03:17] qucik question about raid blocks and filesystem blocks. I've configured my software raid for 128K blocks and I'm wondering if I should format my fs for 128k blocks as well or if it will matter [03:18] karmic_police: anything more and it becomes a bit tricky [03:18] !new | karmic_police [03:18] karmic_police: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [03:18] rodgerr, i would run a virtual system to use skype. im running xp right now though [03:18] karmic_police: Ubuntu Pocket Guide you want that I think [03:18] i may just leaveit alone for this round.. hehe [03:18] centHOGG, Never thought to try that... [03:18] WHat is a good windows emulator? [03:18] vmware [03:18] i have the pocket guide.. read it like 5 times.. lol [03:18] !wine | ne171pro [03:18] ne171pro: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:18] spiky25, I've tried that, no luck on my end. Tried every option in Skype and even went into editing the skype configuration file [03:18] karma_police: one of the pleasures of using linux compared to Redmond fare. No need for a sledgehammer, just some gentle persuasion. [03:18] yeah - I am about to load xp in vbox - but want to use only the programs I can't get on ubuntu [03:18] RedLance: see if you can boot the livecd... verify if it is hw or sW [03:18] ne171pro: oh uhmm Windows not Windows programs, Virtualbox then [03:19] * pyrophelia modprobe shazaam [03:19] centHOGG, Would the netbook remix work? I happen to already have that on a USB stick... [03:19] well, i gtg.. thanks again [03:19] i got a pci-e -dvi-i card on my ibm thinkcentre, any chance i can use it on ubuntu? [03:19] idk [03:19] ne171pro > virtualbox windows virtual machine should do well for applications but don't expect too much for games [03:19] rodgerr, i think im done with running distros off my internal hd, Im just going to create virutal systems [03:19] textex: try the Ubuntu Live CD and find out [03:20] textex: I guess [03:20] SeaPhor, what's going on with your Channel? [03:20] textex: maybe. you need to find the make and model number of the card so you can google it. Or boot a live-cd and see if it runs ok? [03:20] textex: or you already have Ubuntu installed? [03:20] is there a channel specfically for hardware questions? [03:20] pyrophelia: ##hardware [03:20] sebsebseb i got ubuntu installed, im using a vga screen to look at it now [03:21] nytek_: XP kept crashing and I could not find the hardware problem so I put in a new HD and loaded Ubuntu and it works!! I have had enoug heart ache from M$, now I get my heartaches from Ubuntu! [03:22] found the modelnr now ;FRU39J9334 [03:22] tried googling it +ubuntu, but no hits [03:22] is it possible to have ssh remember a password so I don't have to type it in everytime? [03:22] ubuntu is not the best linux distro so expect some problems but with some linux knowledge you will be ok ... [03:22] textex > www.google.com/linux [03:23] rodgerr, lol, i completely understand. I still love linux distrobutions, I got into trying different window managers, ended with a tiling one. I still use its perfectly programmed terminal base apps [03:23] nytek_: you must have another source for your skpe because install won't find it with th defualt sources [03:23] !love [03:24] rodgerr use the skype package from the skype website [03:24] it is for 8.10 not 9.10 [03:24] pretty old [03:24] skype from the website works fine on 9.10 [03:24] i dont have any problem with it [03:25] spiky25: couldnt find anything [03:25] hmm [03:25] ruffus910: are you using the 64 or 32 bit version [03:25] 32 [03:25] it should do some packages from olders versions work on latest versions even sometimes debian packages will work as nero linux deb package named ????all.deb === jordan is now known as jcool [03:25] or something like [03:26] spiky25, what would u call the best? [03:26] hey does anyone have tf2 working on ubuntu? [03:26] I have tried quite a few distros using Live CD. I still keep coming back to Ubuntu. I have also learned that I prefer Gnome over KDE. [03:26] jcool me [03:26] mr_frostee, have you tried xfce or fluxbox? [03:27] ruffus910: any special tweaks to make it work once you installed - or was that too long ago to remember [03:27] sweet how did you do it i always get a black screen after the load screen and it doesnt have sound [03:27] pyrophelia there is no best in everything, it depend of your needs and knowledge ... [03:27] jcool: try setting -dxlevel 80 as the launch option [03:27] can anyone help me with installing Ubuntu [03:27] im really new [03:28] launch option? like in terminal? cause usually i run it straight from steam [03:28] rodgerr: No tweaks whatsoever. It did have some stability issues for a little bit, but ran find after 2 days. [03:29] mr_frostee try ubuntu 9.10 lubuntu-desktop package, slitaz 2.0 for old pcs and archlinux by chakra live cd, it's the only 3 distros that I really like and come back often ... [03:29] jcool in steam, my games, right click tf2, properties, set launch options, put -dxlevel 80 in the box [03:29] rodgerr: last time i did an clean install, i uninstalled and reinstalled skype, because it did have some issues [03:29] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop and I just get a black screen after starting the installation [03:29] !wiki documentation > Trueblue [03:29] rodgerr:after that it worked fine [03:29] mr_frostee: me too, I keep coming back to ubuntu.

[03:30] !documentation > TrueBlue [03:30] TrueBlue, please see my private message [03:30] thanks man ill see if that works [03:30] jcool that should fix it, if it works, you can try -dxlevel 90 for better graphics. [03:30] streaming radio stations keep cutting off on me and I have to restart the program thats playing them, or completly restart firfox if its a flash player, to get it working again. can anyone help? [03:31] losha, i started with ubuntu, then tried different lighter WM's because of my laptop and found that i enjoyed a minimalistic WM when using linux. I got so much more use out of my system and it looked good as hell [03:31] losha, you should try the combo :D [03:32] nytek_: I use karmic with fvwm. 'Cos I've always used it and there are no panels... [03:32] check the ubuntu documentation, there is also the ubuntu pocket guide freely available to help you and peoples from the forums and the chat will help you after to resolve problems after installation or install by wubi first but it's not a real install ... [03:32] holaaa [03:32] !docs [03:32] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [03:33] how do i install grub in a chroot envivronment [03:33] losha, i love have no panels too, i got into xmonad for a while, using rxvt 256 color terminal. it looked beautiful [03:33] holaaaaaa [03:33] williamchan: can't you just apt-get it like everything else? [03:33] thanks frogzoo I don't know the bot commands well here ... [03:34] losha i did [03:34] xmonad is good but how do you like awesome ??? [03:34] and then i created a /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:34] but it cant find my kernel [03:35] Openbox FTW imho :D [03:35] awesome does almost like a desktop manager with tilling and stacking as I remember ... [03:35] anyone? [03:35] !kernel > williamchan [03:35] ibm tells me to use intel video driver [03:35] williamchan, please see my private message [03:36] and that it should work for the card [03:36] williamchan: then your config is wrong. Do you want to pastebin it so we can see it? [03:37] losha: config is right for sure . grub is also saying my FS is ext2 instead of ext3 . does it make a difference? [03:37] ill pastebin it too [03:37] how do i install sound themes? [03:37] http://pastebin.com/m5c493da6 [03:38] williamchan: ext2/ext3 shouldn't matter much. ext3 adds journalling but that doesn't matter for booting... [03:38] ext2 just don't journalize your files ... ext3 do it and maybe have a little better performance ... [03:38] spiky25: im not building a kernel, im using deboostrap to build a image that i can tar.gz onto a xen domU [03:38] I personnaly use ext2 for my /boot partition as you never change it a lot ... [03:39] Hey any one have know how I can make a user and give it a password all in one line, with out it asking me for password? Using adduser [03:39] i used this: sudo debootstrap --arch=i386 --include ssh,udev,linux-image-virtual jaunty /tmp/karmic .... to create my karmic image on my karmic laptop [03:39] hi guys [03:39] here's a question for you all, I open a shell session and start a program running (i.e. firefox), but that program doesn't close. Do I need to open another shell session in order to do something else too? [03:40] hi [03:40] whats up? [03:40] I made a huge mistake... accidentally I overwrote my hosts file. how can I restore the default hosts entries? [03:40] anyone here know any good HD video players for ubuntu? [03:40] losha, spiky25: sudo debootstrap --arch=i386 --include ssh,udev,linux-image-virtual jaunty /tmp/karmic ... this is the command i used to create my image, then i tar -cpzf it ... then i tar -xzf on my target domU [03:40] gdiz: you can type ctrl-z to detach the process, then "bg" to continue it in the background [03:40] or you can start it with an & at the end of the line [03:40] williamchan: I assume you've checked the filenames. The only other thing I can suggest offhand is try using uuid instead of /dev/xvda1 [03:40] losha, spkiy25: then i proceed to do an aptitude install grub once i chroot into the new environment [03:40] KingOfDos: VLC works great.. using it atm [03:41] losha: i dont have a uuid since this is on a virtual machine .... xen domU [03:41] microlith, cool! thanks. [03:41] VLC gives quality HD imagery? [03:42] my dvi cards dies after "grub loading" [03:42] Kind_bud: vlc uses its own codecs.. [03:42] JustMozzy, did you make any modifications to it prior to deleting it? [03:42] what is the minimum unbtu partition size [03:42] What is good for HD though? [03:42] lots [03:42] you mean a .mkv file >? [03:42] use VLC? [03:43] i want ubuntu in like 1 gb [03:43] vlc does well but there is good codecs also ... [03:43] Yeah, or any kind of HD videos or pictures? [03:43] 1080p HD is what you mean ? [03:43] quit [03:43] Kind_bud: "HD" is just a resolution.. [03:43] yeah, I guess quan time [03:43] Yeah, I know, I just wanted to get good quality HD footage with my video players [03:43] so it packs more info into the screen.. thats all HD is. [03:44] is there a player better than VLC? [03:44] imo VLC isnt that great [03:44] !who [03:44] 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 :) [03:44] what is the minimum unbtu partition size [03:44] metaman: im used to it.. so its what you are used to. [03:44] MANY ppl use totem.. which is ok. [03:44] jsilver: I would say 4 GB [03:44] try mplayer or smplayer instead of vlc [03:44] how can i install it in 1gb [03:44] and mplayer is the default,, yes ?> [03:44] 4gb is a lot, seems bloated [03:45] long as you install the required codecs, your set. but i like VLC as its got its own codecs [03:45] jsilver: you do need space for other things [03:45] jsilver: like your user's settings and other data [03:45] but good codecs help also, I never tried fluendo codecs but I maybe can be really decent ... [03:45] ALright thanks, I used mplayer, I was really looking for a player as good as windows media player or vuze's player, only made for linux [03:45] alright [03:45] thaanks lstarnes [03:45] there powerdvd and lindvd for linux also ... [03:45] anyone know why i can't run wubi off of the ubuntu 9.10 disk? [03:45] bleh i wish GOM is on ubuntu [03:46] jsilver: umm, you want ubuntu on 1gb.. yes ? what system are you installing it to ? a custom thin client ? some minimal system for minimal use ?? whats the reason for a minimal install ? [03:46] what is GOM? [03:46] its a tight ass media player [03:46] but its for windows :( [03:46] Kind_bud expect things to be different a lot on linux, there is no best software but a lot of alternatives ... [03:46] I see [03:46] i used mpc-hc for win based machines [03:46] Quan-Time_, i want more room for music when im djing [03:47] lol [03:47] i think 4gb is fine [03:47] and now i cant connect to the net from ubuntu [03:47] how much space does ubuntu OS proper take? [03:47] do i need a driver for that aswell? [03:47] jsilver: ok.. what system size are you installing on.. hdd wise ? [03:47] 80gb [03:47] jsilver try Slitaz 2.0 it will be better for you maybe ... ubuntu isn't made for 1 Gb [03:47] i want the rest for windows [03:47] okay [03:47] i primarily want linux to code [03:47] jsilver: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] jsilver: then you should probably have 8 GB or so [03:48] losha: pulled a UUID, tried and didnt work [03:48] 80gb is heaps.. even for a DJ set.. concidered a external HDD caddy for more storage ? i have a 500gb usb powered one.. works great.. can stream videos off it [03:48] WHY is my software not downloading? Says waiting for software managers to close.. [03:48] losha: getting an error 15, file not found [03:48] Slitaz 2.0 live cd is 30Mb and 1-2Gb for the live dvd with all softwares inside ... [03:48] jsilver: linux doesnt really like being "slipstreamed" like windows OS.. [03:48] It's not so up-to-date but it's really decent and fast ... [03:49] you can start removing other packages you dont need.. such as gimp, openoffice, etc. [03:49] spiky nice [03:49] nytek_: SKYPE works like a champ so far - able to configure it and talka nd listen to the test messages - video is slow but working [03:49] you might save some space.. but remember that many of the packages are required to function properly [03:49] rodgerr, congrats, thats good to know. it was probably because i wasnt using ubuntu at the time :D [03:49] Quan-Time linux can be lighter than windows and run way faster but you need proper knowledge for that ... === Hello is now known as Mizuno [03:50] Anyone know of a 3dmf viewer (3-D Metafile) for Ubuntu?

[03:51] kind_bud. yes [03:51] spiky25: yes.. i agree. and anyone asking in here if they can get it down to 1gb (probably) hasnt done the full research on it. [03:51] HOw do you access it? [03:51] Look on YouTube for "Ubuntu vs Vista" and it shows it. It's called Compiz [03:51] You can get Compiz from the repositories [03:52] next ubuntu release is rumored to have "aero" effect.. RGBA [03:52] which is nice.. wanky.. but nice [03:52] i'm tired of these downloads ont going through correcvtly/win 20 [03:52] Kind_bud > compiz but I prefer to work without it, I love my linux fast but I use compiz on my demonstration live cds or dvds [03:52] williamchan: doesn't grub have some commands you can run to list the files it can see?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:53] RGBA come from kde developpement don't expect too much as kde 4 was just decent after 4.2 [03:53] !grub2 | losha [03:53] losha: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[03:54] anyway, when i go to run wubi off of the 9.10 disk i can't run the autoplay program or wubi [03:54] Quan-Time_, what do you mean next release will have rgba... i assume it already does rgba [03:55] i'm searching for a good thing to record my desktop cause record my desktop is not doing good videos and i have a really good computer so i don't understand [03:55] grub2 isn't needed grub or lilo do also well ...

[03:56] wow [03:56] airtonix: no idea.. not spoken to the devs about it [03:57] but its gtk+ so i strongly suspect it WONT be compiz [03:57] but standalone [03:57] I've been having trouble getting some packages such as usb-creator. I [03:57] aboucher burn an ubuntu 9.10 live cd (32 bits if not sure) then put your bios boot order to cd-rom or dvd-rom then load the live cd when restarting your computer and follow what the live cd say ... [03:57] williamchan: up to you, pretty advanced stuff you're doing. We mostly answer questions like: how do I click using the mouse... [03:57] quick question ubuntu peeps [03:57] losha: woooh thats fairly advanced there buddy [03:58] how do i tell 9.10 to not start x on boot [03:58] spiky i already know that [03:58] removed gdm from the runlevel, it still starts [03:58] i've been running ubuntu for a few years and am trying to install it on a family computer [03:58] this is funny [03:58] ok now i tried a tip form google. [03:58] just using 1 screen at a time [03:58] the vga screen works fine [03:58] ok vlc seems to be perfect [03:59] but when trying the dvi screen, i get "failed to restore crct configuration" [03:59] aboucher wubi isn't a decent ubuntu installation even for a beginner cause it has many lacks like security ... [03:59] mynickstaken: you need to disable /etc/init/gdm.conf, I've heard moving it to /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled will work, haven't tested it yet [03:59] "intelfb_restore" [03:59] any idea?

I'd like to punch the gdm developer... [03:59] I've been having trouble getting some packages such as usb-creator. I'm new to ubuntu, but not a too dumb. I think the problem is that I have a dell given kernel, which locks me out of some of the major features. Can't upgrade from 8.04 (software sources doesn't have the option to change release type) and I can't even get the usb-creator package to get reinstall the OS. Any suggestions? [04:00] what is there to lack [04:00] can another screen fuck up the whole os? [04:00] jacquesdupontd, are you talking about the white text on the right? [04:00] losha: it is more upstart having no standard way of disabling services at this point than gdm [04:00] or is that it is trigging another driver? [04:00] aboucher do you can read in french ???

[04:02] ocuh perdon [04:02] Quan-Time_ Well i installed ubuntu now. It works fine on my VGA screen, but i want to use it as a media center so i tried connecting it to my tv using a dvi card and dvi-hdmi converter. But now it gets weird [04:02] spiky i can't read french [04:02] airtonix, how comes my alt+f2 is not working to launch an app [04:02] how are you [04:02] i need help [04:03] textex: ok.. GPU.. ie: what video card.. ati or nvidia ? [04:03] jacquesdupontd, are you running compiz? [04:03] jhonyok: state your problem [04:03] Its a ibm card [04:03] jhonyok: ask your question.. dont ask to ask a question [04:03] using intel chipset i think [04:03] textex: on board video ? [04:03] I can't uninstall in software, it says "waiting for other software managers" Help me? [04:03] any* [04:04] Quan-Time_ no, its a standalone card that followed the pc, the vga is onboard [04:04] ne171pro: tried restarting your session ? [04:04] ne171pro, try logging out then back in [04:04] ne171pro: if you have other synaptics or something open, close them [04:04] i did :( [04:04] there is also the ubuntu pocket guide pdf freely availaible somewhere for english readers ... french community is better structured than english ubuntu community, weird but true, they are almost more advanced than www.ubuntu.com website ... [04:04] i do wish make whit virtual box, load my HD c: how are this? [04:04] ne171pro: maybe its checking for updates right now? [04:04] textex, you may have fewer issues if you start you computer with your tv attached, just a thought from a tutorial I read. [04:04] how can they be more advanced than ubuntu.com? [04:04] jhonyok: it can't. you have to install inside virtualbox. it cant load your existing windows install [04:04] try www.ubuntu1501.com and www.ubuntumini.com it should help you a lot ... [04:05] Quan-Time_ no, its a standalone card that followed the pc, the vga is onboard [04:05] spiky25: sometimes these things are due to the efforts of just one dedicated individual... [04:05] aboucher: very very organized [04:05] textex: OK.. so what is plugged into what ? you have your onboard plugged into your htpc ? [04:05] i am officially switching to another distro [04:05] aboucher: which one? [04:05] Quan-Time_ i think its something about "intelfb" [04:05] aboucher: have fun [04:05] slackware and fedora [04:05] textex: need to explain your config / setup clearly.. before we can start trouble shooting it [04:05] Quan-Time_ Well first i had my regular vga screen plugged into the onboard vga card. It worked fine [04:05] aboucher: slackware's a bad idea, but fedora looks ok.... [04:06] textex: yup.. go on [04:06] what's wrong with slackware [04:06] Quan-Time_ Then i tried unplugging the vga screen. [04:06] I would like to load, the data I have on my hard x loaded into virtual box [04:06] aboucher: it's off-topic, can't talk about it here... [04:06] aboucher better documentation with a book maded for each ubuntu release and a custom made live usb setup with portables applications for windows and mac, persistent datas and shared profiles for firefox, thunderbird and pidgin ... [04:06] aboucher: try linux mint.. might go ok.. else look on distrowatch for what takes your fancy [04:06] What could be running? keeping from installing or uninstalling [04:06] Quan-Time_ And connecting the tv to the dvi-i card [04:06] aboucher, slackware used to not track dependencies [04:06] aboucher, not sure if that's still the case [04:07] Quan-Time_ When trying to start ubuntu now, i get that error. [04:07] maco where your from? [04:07] adm1: it still doesn't. I tried building Handbrake on it. Oy vey... [04:07] hey everybody - quick Q - if I install Ubuntu from the online installer - does this automatically dual-boot windows, or does it wipe the doze installation - I have XP... [04:07] uh.. ok.. textex.. i think it could be your cable config, OR in your bios on your computer.. its telling the hardare what to use... [04:07] jhonyok: the best you can do is install something inside virtualbox then set up a shared directory and copy data over [04:07] losha, that's a cluster ..... [04:07] airtonix, right [04:07] jhonyok: im from estados unidos [04:07] linux mint, ultimate edition and super os could be decent ubuntu variations for beginners also ... [04:08] airtonix, and i'm on kubuntu don't know where to set shortcuts [04:08] textex: i HATE to not finish this, but i have a matter i gotta step out for thats just popped up.. so i cant finish helping.. but im sure others can [04:08] goodluck [04:08] <-- afk [04:08] what would cause the terminal to fail to find a package when the command is correct and the package exists? [04:08] Quan-Time_ thanks for trying [04:08] jacquesdupontd, sorry i can't help you. I'm not familiar with kde [04:08] Hi. I have a problem. I'm using UNR Karmic on an MSI WindTop AE1900W, and when it returns from suspend the brightness is low. ACPI doesn't seem to work right, the brightness and volume buttons don't function at all. BUT, pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios works great, the brightness is great returning from suspend [04:08] jacquesdupontd: what about kde? [04:08] jacob, you need the uh [04:08] jacob, i forgot what it's called [04:09] anyone else got any input on this+ [04:09] jeje i do speak spanish, but treat of write english thank maco [04:09] jacob, you need to repo source [04:09] is there a tool to check the consistancy of ext4 volumes? [04:10] and how would I do that? [04:10] pyrophelia: fsck [04:10] jacob_: a typo in the package name? [04:10] grandpapc some troubles like this can come from a different bios version, my dell inspiron 1501 need a specific bios version to have all fonctions without patching ... [04:10] jacob_: if new install, you might need to run "sudo apt-get update" first [04:10] what's the difference between fsck and e2fsck? [04:10] helloooo... === co_hisap_T0ked is now known as ngantuk-sangat [04:10] kind of a weird new issue for me, when installing ubunu from a live CD it the computer keeps freezing; I have tried multiple different disks- same result [04:10] pyrophelia: fsck just calls the right one [04:10] spiky25 thtat is good advice i will check the msi support site once more to see if there is a fix [04:11] can anyone tell me does the windows installer wipe your windows installation, or does it set it up for dual boot? [04:11] jacquesdupontd: #kubuntu may help [04:11] anyone else here got problems with intelfb? [04:11] that's ok thx [04:11] madPJKfan: wubi? it dual boots without partitioning [04:11] thank you maco " mi idolo XD " [04:11] maco, it was to have the launcher [04:11] maco: cheers [04:11] jacquesdupontd: which? [04:11] alt + f2 shortcut, compiz + kubuntu [04:11] kde [04:11] jacquesdupontd: ah ok krunner [04:11] anyone else here got problems with intelfb? [04:11] maco, madPJKfan : wubi isn't really dual boot like you would traditionally be expecting === dual is now known as _dual_ [04:12] airtonix: i *said* "without partitioning" [04:12] I suggest just wiping windows all together [04:12] textex the only thing I know about dvb is that mine need a firmware but I never get it working so I can't help you, check mythbuntu or mythtv documentations, forums and irc channels and mostly hope to be lucky ... [04:12] airtonix: its still 2 OSes, option at boot, etc.....just without partitioning [04:12] maco, airtonix: I just saw it "formatting swap" and got scared [04:12] ah...that might be the problem... sudo apt-get update only checks a dell url. is there a way to change where to get updates from? [04:12] last real time I used linux was redhat 8ish... [04:12] jacob_: system -> administration -> software sources [04:13] madPJKfan, if you use wubi to install ubuntu, then the health of your ubuntu install depends on the health of your ntfs windows partition. (since wubi installs ubuntu into a disk image file on the windows partition) [04:13] maco, I'm trying to build a 20TB volume but I can't extend it past 10TB with e2fsck saying file to large [04:13] hey guys, does (x)ubuntu have the same issue as windows that if you install the OS on 1 machine, xfer the HDD to another machine, you will get problems ??? [04:13] pyrophelia: WOW [04:13] madPJKfan, so don't go deleting your windows partition after install ubuntu via wubi [04:13] what url should I use to get the updates? [04:13] maco: any advice? [04:13] pyrophelia: nope [04:14] airtonix: sweet - that'll do me for the moment. There is a bit of a lack of documentation on the download ubuntu page. There is heaps on the wubi page that I am now reading - much obliged. [04:14] jacob_: there should be checkboxes.... [04:14] there isn't... [04:14] maco, thx working i set that in compiz commands [04:14] hey guys i need some help here.... i have a delegate that overrides the paint function, and inside that delegate i emit the signal itemSelected(), but i cant connect it from outside the delegate... what am i doing wrong? http://pastie.org/741010 [04:14] man if ubuntu was like archlinux for packages, we could stay on it more easily for a lifetime ... [04:14] ops wrong channel sry [04:14] :( it needs to be 54 TB. grrrr [04:14] jacob_: there's not checkboxes for univere, multiverse, etc? and a tab with checkboxes for choosing updates, security, or proposed? [04:15] wow conky is not working that well with compiz [04:15] is there a Mac OS X-like character palette for ubuntu [04:15] jacquesdupontd, no it won't. [04:15] not the ugly applet? [04:15] jacquesdupontd, you need to run it in a non compositing mode [04:15] mikeru: i have no idea what osx does it like, but theres gucharmap [04:15] maco, airtonix - thanx for the info. [04:15] ...gone [04:16] jacquesdupontd: it *can* work...i just have no idea how i made it work that one time i got it to [04:16] maco: it shows all unicode characters [04:16] maco www.ubuntu-fr.org click on sources.list and follow the instructions if you read french a little it will be easier ... [04:16] maco: from 0000 to FFFF [04:16] nothing for those. I have an updates, 3rd party software, and authentication tab [04:16] Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.32-020632rc8-generic in order to get a webcam to work (and it does work with this RC kernel), but now the 3d driver for my ATI graphics chipset is disabled and won't reinstall (when I try to activate it from the hardware drivers window it simply does not change to active), can someone help me to get graphics accelleration back? [04:16] spiky25: jacob_ you mean [04:16] hey there, I am writing a shell script. how can I assume root credentials for commands in the script? I tried sudo echo "bla bla bla" > /etc/apache2/includes/something.conf but it didn't work [04:16] oups [04:16] sorry [04:17] maco: http://blogs.atlassian.com/developer/2008/11/02/Character%20Palette.jpg [04:17] JustMozzy, you should have a lookt at some of the nautilus-scripts to see how they do it [04:17] jacob_: er maybe this has changed since i last used ubuntu then. i use kubuntu now [04:17] hey guys, is there much difference between 8.04 and 8.04.1 ? [04:17] 732.34 MB of data have to be downloaded [04:17] airtonix: where would I find those? [04:17] 64 MB of data will be freed [04:17] <3 [04:17] JustMozzy, http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ [04:17] to kill a proccess in the terminal ? [04:17] o.o [04:17] !kill [04:17] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:17] mikeru: ive never seen anything like that, sorry. i like the "related characters" though [04:17] airtonix: thanks :) [04:17] Newbie-Widget: there were a lot of fixes and upgrades with the .1 version [04:17] identify 123456 [04:17] Newbie-Widget, the reasons for problems with that in windows is a matter of hardware. Without abstracting the hardware you will have issues moving hard drives between machines with different hardware sets. [04:17] ok cool, thnc scunixi [04:18] i coudnt use the live cd to install ubuntu. i made an alternate disk and could install it. but when i try to boot into it, the same problem happens and it freezes at a black sscreen for ever. and ever. [04:18] scunizi* [04:18] man, I need to get a 3d card [04:18] spiky25 i can't find a bios update on google or the msi support/download page for the model, is there a way to make the s3bios quirk "stick" in karmic? I've tried several and none work so far. I even installed s2ram and s2disk but the result is the same. only pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios from the command line works [04:18] Newbie-Widget, The short answer is yes if the hardware is substantially differant [04:18] 8.04 , 8.04.1 .2 or .3 are just updated versions [04:18] quite sad··· [04:18] Newbie-Widget: which brings to mind.. if you install that don't up grade to 10.04 LTS until it's 10.04.1 [04:18] jacquesdupontd, if you want to find out more about conky then have a browse through the crunchbang forums. several good threads about conky there [04:19] at least gucharmap looks acceptable [04:19] greezmunkey: does that mean if i were to install ubuntu on a hdd and move it to another pc, ill get the same problem ? [04:19] scunizi: don't upgrade untill 10.04.1 if doing 8.04 LTS, why? [04:19] killall [04:19] works fine thx airtonix [04:19] maco: i'm running 8.04, which sites give a walk-through on how to upgrade. The features that those ask me to change are not on my software sources. I'm trying to set up a bootable usb to wipe and reinstall, but I can't get the usb-creator package mentioned on ubuntu support's walkthrough. [04:19] airtonix, i'm reading help [04:20] jacquesdupontd, http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/59/my-conky-config/ [04:20] should work good thx [04:20] sebsebseb: on an lts release the .1 is like a large service pack.. they've ironed out the upgrade bugs and other things. [04:20] grandpapc maybe a patch will do check a little www.ubuntu1501.com search bios and seek what it say and check for your computer model by google after ... [04:20] jacob_: usb-creator-gtk maybe? i dont know, sorry [04:20] scunizi: are you sure about that? [04:20] maco: is there anyway you can insert control characters with it ? [04:20] spiky25 i have googled extensively for days to solve this and tried many things and come up with only the command line that works... [04:20] jacob_: I think usb_creator was not available in 8.04. [04:21] sebsebseb: that's what's happened to me in the last upgrade.. things just get more stable after .1 [04:21] basically my laptop cd drive is dead, i cant boot from usb and i have no floppy :S ,,, i took out the hdd from the laptop, connected it via USB to my main tower, installed ubuntu, took it out and put back in my laptop.. it loads to desktop (though touchpad doesnt work) [04:21] maco: nevermind [04:21] LTS just mean better for servers but for normal peoples almost every stable release will do well ... [04:21] jacob_: for the sources, http://paste.ubuntu.com/340310/ try putting that in /etc/apt/sources.list [04:21] spiky25: yeah that's the kind of thing I am thinking as well [04:21] i got some links last night in this IRC chat, but Im not very skilled enough and dont really understand it :S [04:21] I've just downloaded the ubuntu 9.10 desktop cd to install with, but it's not recognised on reboot? The cd drive is the first boot device, but nada [04:22] spiky25: releases between lts releases aren't always stable [04:22] md5sums is correct too [04:22] Newbie-Widget: I would install ubuntu-minimal on the HDD, transfer it back to the laptop, then complete the install from there (you can install the ubuntu-desktop package once it is back in the laptop). [04:22] datakid: try making an alternate cd. [04:22] mikeru: you should be able to enter unicode characters by hitting ctrl+shift+U (itll then show an underlined u) and typing the codepoint in hex and hitting enter [04:22] how to make vlc as the default player to play http://www.mediacorpradio.sg/mediaplayer/player_yes.asp?varKey=01045393001 in firefox? [04:22] grandpapc build a sh script and make it launch at every boot if you don't see another solution ... [04:23] maco: sure, but it's nice to see which one is which [04:23] ok i'm recording the desktop with vlc i'm gonna see what it looks like [04:23] pj: that's what i tried to do, but im not 100% sure when to stop the installation. Do I stop after the copying files process ? [04:23] maco: View->By Unicode Block [04:23] usb-creator is 9.04 and more only as I remember [04:23] mikeru: i meant for when you get a few memorized ;) [04:23] thx for all the advice i was finding at the same time :) [04:23] maco: what are the point releases for LTS about is it true what scunizi said things become more stable etc ? [04:23] how much video ram do you need to run compiz? [04:23] maco: (: [04:23] spiky25 how would it interrupt the normal suspend procedure? do you mean turn off suspend in power management and run a script that runs suspend when user activity stops? Sorry I'm not a linux expert [04:23] sebsebseb: they're just the updates to that point packaged up and put on a cd [04:23] maybe there a ppa for it in lauchpad ... [04:24] maco: so not just security updates? ,but other updates as well? [04:24] sebsebseb: believe so [04:24] spiky25 it has to be easy this pc is for my 86 year old grandfather to learn how to email and browse the web [04:24] unless anyone knows where to download a CD that allows me to boot from USB devices ? ive only seen tutorials on how to make em [04:24] sebsebseb: but i dont roll the cds, so im not 100% positive [04:24] sebsebseb: and you doughted me.. :) [04:24] sebsebseb LTS is made for servers or little linux users only mostly ... [04:24] little linux users? [04:24] thus the nick grandpapc, it all makes sense now [04:25] spiky25: what's a "little linux user".. [04:25] scunizi, people like me who rummage through the sewers for muck [04:25] i thought maybe we were talkin about an i386 or a commadore 64 [04:25] grandpapc I'm not an expert also, I just tell you what I know that could help you even just a little ... [04:25] scunizi: well I already knew that your an LTS fan, and I am not sure if it's the best advice to tell people not to get the latest LTS untill a point release. Surely an LTS is good when it comes out? or well meant to be [04:25] echotone, thanks [04:25] nytek_: SKYPE - spent the last hour trying to find my profile for skype to edit it - turns out the linux version does not give access to the profile!!! [04:25] C64 [04:26] airtonix: I thought he was saying I was short or something :) [04:26] little mean not often just sometimes if you prefer ... [04:26] scunizi, no just calling us peseants [04:26] scunizi: and maco seems to know about that kind of stuff, hence why I asked her [04:26] sebsebseb: no.. I run lts, 8.10 and 9.10 [04:26] sebsebseb: we certainly dont get nearly enough testers til after release, so a LOT of updates come through the first month [04:27] 9.10 isnt lts is it? [04:27] sebsebseb: 9.10 I run ubuntu and kubuntu.. I rather like kubuntu now.. very slick [04:27] scunizi: 8.10 and 9.10 arent lts [04:27] maco: I know.. that's why I made the differentiation [04:27] Newbie-Widget: you can get cd's that you can use to boot to a usb stick, but that requires that you have a working cd drive. [04:27] scunizi: ahhh ok [04:27] Newbie-Widget, unetbootin to write a ubuntu iso to usb stick for booting [04:27] scunizi: i misparsed [04:27] Can anyone help me? The MSI Wind Top AE1900w (UNR karmic) suspends fine, but the brightness isn't set correctly when returning. Running pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios from the command line works, but I'm not sure how to make it stick, I've put it in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and tried disabling the code that removes the quirks from /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d but nothing works [04:28] I also edited /etc/default/grub and added i915.modeset=0 to the defaults. [04:28] Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.32-020632rc8-generic in order to get a webcam to work (and it does work with this RC kernel), but now the 3d driver for my ATI graphics chipset is disabled and won't reinstall (when I try to activate it from the hardware drivers window it simply does not change to active), can someone help me to get graphics accelleration back? [04:28] how to make vlc as the default player to play http://www.mediacorpradio.sg/mediaplayer/player_yes.asp?varKey=01045393001 in firefox? [04:28] Newbie-Widget, i assume : 1) you're using karmic 2) you've already tried usb-creator-gtk ? [04:28] sebsebseb: no matter what release.. try running your everyday stuff from a TTY sometime.. without the gui.. now that can be a learning experience :) [04:29] maco: maybe if the first beta wasn't in March for 10.04, but earlier instead, that would have helped quite a bit with bug testing, anyway off topic now [04:29] vlc is mervelous to record desktop on the computer [04:29] it works perfectly [04:29] I cannot figure this out, cant uninstall or add software. I tried rebooting [04:30] sebsebseb: in 10.04 the beta was moved 2 weeks earlier, i think. and we're having 2 of them [04:30] I run Slitaz 2.0 on an old ibm thinkpad 240 laptop that seem like a netbook or ultraportable, archlinux 64 bits on an i7 desktop and ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS 32 bits on a dell inspiron 1501 (for 32 bits repositories not available for 64 bits users and stability for my work laptop mostly) [04:30] scunizi: i run 90 % of my linux box in cli [04:30] It tells me "waiting for other softwarere managers to close........ [04:30] sebsebseb: basically the last alpha was renamed "beta 1"....because people are allergic to the word "alpha" :P [04:31] what packages do i need installed on ubuntu server inorder to do x11 forwarding, but not actually run an xserver [04:31] zhane use mplayer plugin it will do better with proper codecs ... [04:31] i want to forward x11 traffic through putty to another machine [04:31] spiky25: vlc player no gd? [04:31] maco: the scheduled says March 18th for beta 1, but this is off topic now also [04:31] arghh2d2: fun isn't it? [04:31] sebsebseb: there has historically been only 1 beta. 10.04's beta 1 is a few weeks earlier than beta normally is...at the time that the last alpha normally is [04:31] ne171pro: Well there's a bug report about this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/444168 [04:32] mplayer outperform vlc cause vlc don't use codecs so mplayer will show a better output mostly ... [04:32] maco: oh ok [04:32] maco: thanks [04:32] scunizi: yeah, keep it all in gnu screen and log in/out start/stop X and never miss a beat..i love it [04:32] sry back,, my CD drive "kinda" works, I can put discs in and it picks them up. a Ubuntu disc it can load to the initial screen and u choose to do mem tests, install ubuntu (text mode) ect.. just reading the files n such [04:33] sudo pacman -Ss mplayer > what in ubuntu cli ??? [04:33] spiky25: What does pacman -Ss do? [04:33] Isn't pacman for Arch Linux? [04:33] pacman is arch lol [04:33] i cant boot from USB though as the laptop doesnt give the option.. i only have option to boot from HDD / CD / Network (network setup too much for my brain) [04:33] ne171pro: Try the suggestions in the comments section of the report. [04:33] Can i disable my splash while my hdd is mounted from puppy linux? I am having trouble logging in to ubuntu9.10 [04:33] beside eclipse is there any other good C IDE?? [04:33] search a package or named like it ... [04:33] SuperMiguel: Check out anjuta [04:34] spiky25: apt-cache search [foo] [04:34] spiky25: wrong channel? [04:34] Who can take a afternoon tea with me at Shanghai today？ [04:34] SuperMiguel: I like CodeBlocks [04:34] arghh2d2: mutt, finch, irssi, links2, lynx or w3m.. what else is there? oh.. nano, vi, etc [04:34] Ubuntu version 9.04 is what i have atm (for etsting) but im gonna put on 8.04 (which i think is hardy) [04:34] i hear that one's pretty good [04:34] laptop is pretty old too. [04:34] spiky25: sudo aptitude search mplayer [04:34] arghh2d2: No, right channel. [04:34] yep I'm mostly an Archlinux user so I wanna give him the ubuntu cli commands ... [04:34] robbmunson, spiky25: you don't need sudo to search. [04:34] Flannel: well, yeah..I kinda went overboard, caught my mistake after I hit return [04:34] thanks !!! [04:35] atm i cant find anything in the mouse options about the Touchpad.. its non responsive [04:35] Flannel: ? right channel? he's on ubuntu suggesting arch package manager [04:35] Flannel: thanks for spotting my glitch in typing ;) [04:35] arghh2d2: No, he's asking for the equivalent in Ubuntu. [04:35] Newbie-Widget: 8.04 will be end of life next year.. so will 9.04.. whichever you want.. but you'll be forced into an upgrade next year for security updates regardless. [04:35] i see [04:35] spiky25: sure :) [04:35] Newbie-Widget: try 9.04 :) [04:35] I'm always on my root account on Archlinux that why I forgot about sudo ... [04:35] Newbie-Widget, scunizi: 8.04 lasts until April of 2011 [04:35] Newbie-Widget: 8.04 is a bit to old now in a way, for a lot of us, and jauntey is a pretty good release [04:36] I cant use ubuntu. it doesnt get past the white ubuntu logo. does anybody know anything about that? [04:36] how well does the new stuff run on old laptops though [04:36] spiky25: yeah, but you dont need sudo to search for packages with aptitude ;) [04:36] Newbie-Widget: if that doesn't work properly for you then sure you could try 8.04 [04:36] im not really going to be using it full on, just a lil media players [04:36] played* [04:36] spiky25: just to install :) [04:36] player** [04:36] Newbie: or try xubuntu [04:36] Newbie-Widget: How much RAM? [04:36] Flannel: ah.. I was wrong.. I thought one LTS replaced the other.. but it is 3 years not 2 so there's some overlap.. merry christmas by the way? [04:36] echotone: Are you trying to use a live cd? Or is it installed? [04:36] ! [04:36] Flannel: by the way! [04:37] only 256 atm but i have more and a 2nd slot, gonna test out other 256 sticks to take it to 512 [04:37] scunizi: Yeah, three years on the desktop precisely so there's overlap. You get a year to plan you're upgrade. Merry Christmas to you too. [04:37] Aquid, yeh i want to mainly put xubuntu on but the xubuntu IRC always seems dead, so i came heer [04:37] squidbilly: Newbie-Widget or LXDE or whatever, there are loads of light waight things that can be run [04:37] hi, i just downloaded a theme. it is a .tar.gz file. now i don't know how to install it. it opens in archive manager. [04:37] i mean Squid :p [04:37] Fluxbox etc [04:38] Newbie-Widget: How much RAM? [04:38] Newbie-Widget: ok 256MB [04:38] rCX: i cant use a live cd. i made an alternate cd and it installed but i had the same problem of it freezing after the white ubuntu logo. [04:38] exploreralex: in most releases open the theme manager and just drag and drop the tar.gz to it [04:38] sebsebseb: 256mb atm [04:38] but can upgrade [04:38] Newbie-Widget: 9.04 should run with 256MB RAM, and it will with 512MB [04:38] add to 2nd slot [04:38] scunizi: okay thanks. i [04:38] ll try [04:39] Newbie-Widget: the other hardware should be alright, well it's a desktop PC, how old? [04:39] if anybody can help me with my problem, please move to #xubuntu [04:39] Newbie-Widget: it is a desktop isn't it? [04:39] Newbie-Widget: forget the extra ram if you use 9.10 install lubuntu-desktop then remove ubuntu-desktop correctly [04:39] nah, Laptop [04:39] 1.4ghz [04:39] Newbie-Widget: have you tested an Ubuntu Live CD on there already nope? [04:39] Can anyone help me with this?

[04:39] maybe 7yrs roughly [04:40] Newbie-Widget: RAM might not be an issue, but wireless could be [04:40] sebsebseb: can't, cd rom dopesnt work properly [04:40] Newbie-Widget: USB works though? [04:40] USB works, but cant boot from USB devices [04:40] Newbie-Widget: hmm which leaves a netinstall and wubi for installing Ubuntu hmm, unless you put the hard disk in another computer and do it [04:41] hello everyone [04:41] Newbie-Widget: lubuntu-desktop is a set of ubuntu packages that will use lxde desktop manager instead of gnome and that use less ram ... [04:41] Questio: Does anybode tested 9.10 on a Lenovo T60? [04:41] spiky25: seems we got another issue now, how are they going to get Ubuntu on there in the first place [04:41] that doesn't mean desktop as desktop computer and can be used on a laptop without trouble [04:41] is there a command to make sure u installed the x64 version? [04:41] sebsebseb: I have the option to Net boot in the laptop BIOS, but i dont know how to get it up and running, i checked the tuts but cant work it out [04:42] pyrophelia, _, uname -a [04:42] !install | Newbie-Widget [04:42] Newbie-Widget: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[04:42] Question: Does anybode tested 9.10 on a Lenovo T60? :D [04:42] lubuntu is way lighter than xubuntu but less known [04:42] sebsebseb: it does mention many ways, but i still dont understand it. the ones i found in there require a Floppy drive, which i dont have for it :S [04:43] Newbie-Widget: LXDE/lubuntu is probably more light waight then XFCE/Xubuntu [04:43] chrunchbang spiky25 .. check it out [04:43] Newbie-Widget: look here for different install options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [04:43] Hi guys.

T60 ubuntu .. and see what pops up.. there's bound to be something out there. [04:52] arghh2d2: in your opinion, it's not a fact [04:52] hey [04:52] TeslaTony: openbox, just build it yourself, you dont need lxde to do it for you [04:52] LaHire: Look at this link http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_9.10_(Karmic_Koala)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61 [04:52] sebsebseb: ditto [04:52] did they get rid of the x64 images for ubuntu 9.10 [04:53] lxde suck less than xfce, gnome and kde, it's the lightest desktop manager so it's pretty decent for someone that can't use a windows manager correctly ... [04:53] they are not availible on the website [04:53] I'm using 9.10 on a T43 currently. Words swimmingly. [04:53] pj: doesn't work at all... not sure if its missing a driver or maybe needs a configuration or somthing [04:53] *Works [04:53] and the link from distrowatch is down [04:53] arghh2d2: what spiky25 said I guess [04:53] this is really unusual [04:53] I have now tried both install cds - Desktop and Alternate, neither works [04:53] ?

[04:54] rCX: i have checked that page, but i just wanted to ask if anyone had some issues with firefox on that notebook, 'cos it's eating up my cpu [04:54] scunizi there isnt a link for 64 bit [04:54] spiky25: crunchbang's install configuration isnt hard to learn and is a hundred times better than lxde, takes the good lx stuff and leaves the lame out [04:55] sry, what was the name of the other ubuntu.. lxubuntu or somthing ? [04:55] Newbie-Widget: right ok so touchpad not working in 9.10 [04:55] bashir: I'll look [04:55] Newbie-Widget: yes? [04:55] lubuntu is one of 'em [04:55] touchpad settings are in xorg.conf if I remember well check it out ... [04:55] sebsebseb: using 9.04 [04:55] !touchpad | Newbie-Widget [04:55] Newbie-Widget: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:55] sebsebseb: thnx :) [04:56] Newbie-Widget: I haven't been on that link yet ( or not that I remember anyway ) , but I guess it wil help [04:56] i cant believe it is so difficult to find an architecture disk for the most popular linux distro on the planet [04:56] bashir: under the "download location" link there is another link for "alternative" downloads.. click that and you'll see the 64 bit version [04:56] arghh2d2 just understand that beginners don't know enough about linux to start straight with openbox so lxde is decent and was maded for them ... [04:56] spiky25: openbox hmm [04:57] or Fluxbox etc [04:57] scunizi ah thanks. they really should change that [04:57] LaHire: Hmm firefox worked fine for me. If you are really having problems you could dowgrade from 3.5 to 3. [04:57] spiky25: true though not many beginers using those to begin with [04:57] bashir: yea.. it use to be easier [04:57] scunizi ya i expected it to take less than 10 seconds as usual [04:57] spiky25: lxde isnt realy that user friendly, it tries to be and just ends up being lame [04:57] beside eclipse is there any other good C IDE? that i can compile and run the program inside the program?

[04:58] rCX: well, maybe downgrading... i shall try that [04:58] lame but decent for speed that's why many distros begin to use it ... [04:58] sebsebseb: thats fcking hilarious coming from you when you were just arguing off topic with me...hipocrit [04:58] arghh2d2: yeah I know :D [04:59] arghh2d2: I did think about doing it to the three of us, but then nah [04:59] linux need 500 Mhz to run well we have way more now so no need for the lightest if it mean harder for almost nothing that's all ...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:00] it's like having a 4000$ computer for a grand-mother that just talk on msn, it's no use ... [05:01] arghh2d2: that I was off topic [05:01] hoxha: ok what do you want help with? [05:01] what dose it mean when it says you dont have permission [05:02] hoxha: depends on what your doing [05:02] sebsebseb it's not offtopic it's a matter of choice and needs ... [05:03] hoxda permission for ??? [05:03] spiky25: it's off topic, it's not Ubuntu support [05:03] im trying to put a skin on amsn [05:03] and i have to put the folder in a file [05:03] hoxha >gksudo nautilus [05:04] and it asks me you dont have permission [05:04] be careful that way you won't need permissions but it's not recommanded ... [05:04] Random832, what kind of issues? I amusing ext4. it should be able to check and resize a 20TB volume with ease [05:04] !permissions | hoxha [05:04] hoxha: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [05:04] hoxha, the system parts of your Linux install are owned by the system, not by your user [05:04] open your terminal for that > applications > accessories > terminal [05:05] pyrophelia, I am not sure if all the tools have been updated for it. If the tool you are using says it's too big, it probably hasn't. [05:05] dkfkjfkdjg [05:05] well fudge [05:05] wow thanks dam! [05:05] hoxha: be careful with that [05:05] hoxha: also open it with gksudo also [05:05] always open with gksudo [05:06] bump [05:06] sebsebseb: Or, rather, gksu... gksudo is just an alias [05:06] when I boot up, neither of the cds Alternate or Desktop will boot. When I go into the BIOS, there's the line (not present) next to the CDROM option. Despite the fact that once the current ubuntu install (8.10) is loaded, cd-drive works fine? [05:06] random832, why the heck would they make ext4 the default fs if they can't even use it right? [05:07] hpxha nothing I learned that way, if you want a graphical gksudo use PCmanFM to do it faster ... [05:07] pyrophelia: oh dear your using for a 20TB volume? [05:07] huh? [05:08] you won't have to remember gksudo that way but remember to be careful cause as root you could easily destroy your linux setup in no time at all ... [05:08] pyrophelia: oh looking at scroll back uhmm [05:09] spiky25, or you could use a natilus script to do the same thing [05:09] hi [05:09] pyrophelia: Don't use Ext4 for large amounts of important data! Data might get currupted even, that's mentioned in the 9.10 release notes. [05:09] i need majoir help [05:09] !ask | Dyinglight12 [05:09] Dyinglight12: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:09] sebsebseb what would be the best way to install ubuntu offline and get my wireless working directly without an internet access ? [05:09] sebsebseb, it needs to be 60TB but I'm having trouble getting past 16. ubuntu must not have updated the e2fsck tool [05:10] i need help with unetbootin [05:10] if anyone knows wat that is :P [05:10] pyrophelia: XFS would probably be a better choice in your case, it's been around much longer, so way more stable. etc [05:10] Dyinglight12: just ask your question, im sure someone will be able to help.. [05:10] Dyinglight12: Well, not a place to ask... PM me, I can help. [05:10] pyrophelia: or maybe even Ext3 in your case, but I woudn't trust Ext4 for what your doing [05:10] yea but not as fast [05:10] Dyinglight12: Unetbootin is hardly related to Ubuntu at all, you see :D [05:10] pyrophelia: I run XFS and it works really well.. [05:11] sebsebseb, ext3 doesn't support volumes larger than 16TB [05:11] airtonix: yep on linux there's almost everytime many ways to do something more than 10 ways sometimes so I just tell the easiest to peoples ... [05:11] I use it to record two movies, convert 2/3 more and play one....works fine [05:11] hello! how do I set the owner of a folder? [05:11] chown [05:11] pyrophelia: and I quite like Ext4 myself, well I did with Ubuntu 9.04, I got speed improvements when / was done in it, but wasn't perfectly stable there. with 9.10 it seems Ext3 and Ext4 for just standard install it doesn't really matter. [05:11] netyire: chown [05:11] thank you! [05:11] np [05:12] 16 TB omg big server !!! [05:12] pyrophelia: it's a server? [05:12] technically 60TB === root is now known as Guest53097 [05:12] !reiser | pyrophelia [05:12] pyrophelia: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [05:12] spiky25, its easy : 1 ) http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/Execute/Misc/root-nautilus-here 2) save as : ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/root-nautilus-scripts [05:12] na, just my home theater system. [05:12] pyrophelia: don't know if resier would be a good choice, but yeah XFS, riser, etc [05:13] 60 TB omg I would be ok for a lifetime with this or almost ... [05:13] pyrophelia that is exactly what I am doing here....xfs seems to do fine [05:13] hmmm [05:13] spiky25 backups would be a pain [05:13] pyrophelia: Ext4 is not exactly 100% stable yet, or as far as I know anyway, let's put it that way [05:13] and actually no I was kidding, this is for a hd video production server [05:14] pyrophelia: hence why I woudn't trust it with big data files that I really want to be sure to keep [05:14] airtonix > PCmanFM = apt://pcmanfm in firefox (ubuntu variants only) [05:14] so speed is very important to me [05:14] pyrophelia: at this time [05:14] spiky25,why do i want another file manager when nautilus does it? [05:14] Hi, I just copied an ubuntu repository from a mirror onto my external drive. Does anyone know how to add it to synaptic ? [05:14] pyrophelia: the release notes for 9.10 even mentioned a possible data curruption bug, last time I looked [05:14] pyrophelia: with Ext4 [05:14] pyrophelia, are you on 32-bit or 64-bit? [05:14] think I might have to change, thanks for the input [05:14] 64 [05:15] I'm finding some stuff online that implies that fsck supports >16TB only on 64 [05:15] !notes | pyrophelia [05:15] pyrophelia: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [05:15] but i guess that's wrong or something - who knows [05:15] anyone know where to find good co-location deals ?

In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.2-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 5 kB, installed size 76 kB [05:16] amazon C2 offers ubuntu 9.10 cloud support, but its kinda pricy [05:16] sebsebseb do you know anything about laptops and ubuntu? [05:17] gotmilk82: not much other than how wireless is usually an issue for people, oh and maybe sound as well [05:17] can anyone point me to documentation about the indicator applet? supposedly it's installed, but it's not being displayed [05:17] when i type in gksudo what is that do? [05:17] I want to merge two adjacent NTFS partitions, anyone knows how to do it [05:17] pyrophelia: Ubuntu Desktop Edition or Server? [05:17] server [05:17] ok that's what I thought [05:17] hoxha, have a read oif the sudo page at help.ubuntu.com [05:17] !sudo | hoxha [05:17] hoxha: 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) [05:17] !server | pyrophelia [05:17] pyrophelia: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[05:17] sebsebseb lol....do you know if ubuntu saves any information about the different docking stations it encounters? [05:18] qustion, is there a command in dpkg to check and make sure all files are setup correctly? [05:18] gotmilk82: no [05:18] nautilus is heavy more than pcmanfm that's all ... [05:18] pyrophelia: maybe you should be on 8.04 really [05:18] hoxha, if you want to be able to right click and gain root access to a folder in nautilus then you need the nautilus-gksu package [05:18] pyrophelia: 8.04 with XFS maybe? [05:18] I deleted a file by accident, no idea what package it belongs to, and now some programs won't run correctly [05:18] I'm just going to reformat with xfs. ext4 is still to buggy [05:18] still a matter of choice tough ... [05:18] pyrophelia: then you would need a seperate /boot partition for the old Grub as well, since you used XFS [05:19] spiky25, moot point since it's already installed [05:19] pyrophelia: /boot in Ext3 that will do it [05:19] how so? the boot disk isn't connected to the raid what so ever [05:19] pyrophelia: oh I am on about the desktop version here, but I assume it's also the case for the server [05:19] sebsebseb pyrophelia my home theater box is on 8.10 ubuntu with mythtv on it [05:19] any one have any luck with dibbler-server for dhcpv6 serving? [05:19] with xfs [05:20] airtonix I use minimal everytime so I choose all my softwares between all ubuntu variants as I want and need ... [05:21] spiky25, so you're assuming that others do to? [05:21] pyrophelia: I guess do what gotmilk82 says :D [05:21] or know where to go to ask about dhcpv6 on another IRC or web? [05:22] airotnix nope I suggest a way that's all [05:22] okay...what keyboard is a US m a b? [05:22] try ext2 for /boot as it don't need journalizing, 32 to 100 Mo should be enough depending or your needs ... [05:23] spiky25: pyrophelia Ext2 for boot that sounds more like it [05:24] look what i am doing is trying to get a skin for amsn, when i download zip package and try to move it to my file system it says You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///usr/share/amsn/skins" [05:24] sudo nautilus is what I used that is the command in botton on top my screen [05:24] hoxha: AMSN hmm [05:24] yes [05:24] !msn | hoxha [05:24] hoxha: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[05:24] hoxha: Kmess and Emesene are also nice [05:24] hoxha, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [05:25] emesene now accept webcams also you could try it ... [05:25] kopete will be better suited for kde users ... [05:25] hoxha: I haven't tried emesene yet or did I, but forgot. anyway I will soon, and not in Ubuntu, and I have been told it's good by quite a lot of people [05:25] Newbie-Widget: I got it running ubuntu 9.10 in vertualbox ok [05:26] yes it is [05:26] without a webcam need, pidgin and empathy seem more decents to use ... [05:26] what package do I need to install to format, grow, shrink xfs volumes? [05:26] Newbie-Widget: but I think I had problems on my laptop when I tried it there something with the video drivers [05:26] hoxha, sacarlson reasons why you don't use sudo on graphical apps mentioned in the link i posted [05:26] im just trying to get a skin thats all [05:26] yeah [05:26] hoxha, did you install nautilus-gksu ? [05:26] sacarlson: ic..ic, thnx :) [05:27] there should be a factoid that mentions the programs that can do MSN on Ubuntu, that's what I wanted earlier, but there isn't one it seems [05:27] VENUS PROJECT [05:27] ? [05:27] hold on not yet [05:27] hoxha, i am assuming of course that you are running standard ubuntu with gnome [05:27] hoxha: it might be a bit buggy, it's closed source only made by one guy, and written in Java, but there's also Mercury Messenger, which can do most MSN features and it's own stuff here and there [05:27] sacarlson if you have an old ati before ati radeon hd2000 stay with the open source drivers if using ubuntu 9.04 or more [05:28] i guss i am [05:28] yes [05:28] hoxha: that's also not in the repo [05:28] !ot | ne171pro [05:28] ne171pro: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:29] can anyone give me some names of pre made USB boot cd;s ? [05:29] hoxha, 1) install nautilus-gksu 2) log out then back in 3) navigate to /usr/share/amsn4) right click skins folder and choose 'open as administrator 5) do your stuff with your skins files [05:29] spiky25: even when I tried just vga [05:29] iflema, no its not a line of deb... I have an entire mirror copied.. [05:29] spiky25: I haven't used it recently [05:29] ok [05:29] iflema, hence there are lots of folders and I think packeages from intrepid onwards are there [05:30] yadudoc: are you going to use on a machine with ni inet? [05:30] no [05:30] anyone know where to find info on dhcpv6 server? [05:31] sacarlson I will never buy an ati or intel onboard chipset again, I'm sold to nvidia you can put a price tag on me ... lol [05:31] sacarlson: google.com? [05:31] spiky25: yes I like nvidia that's what I have also [05:31] yadudoc: itll be a line in /etc/apt/sources.list that is required [05:31] spiky25: $1 ? [05:32] good evening all [05:32] nightfrog: tried that, that's why I'm here === C405129` is now known as James_N_ [05:32] I still can't seem to upgrade to Karmic. Neither disk works during boot, and after boot I get "An upgrade from 'intrepid' to 'karmic' is not supported with this tool." [05:32] datakid_: you have to upgrade through 9.04 first [05:33] guys how to add delay to startup application? [05:33] datakid_: You cannot upgrade directly to Karmic. You must first upgrade to Jaunty. [05:33] lol put 1000$ on a nvidia card worth 100$ I will buy it even if you give me a 3000$ worth ati card ... [05:33] yadudoc: or system/administration/software sources [05:33] sebsebseb, wgrant I'd rather just reinstall. But they karmic disks are not being discovered ? [05:33] datakid: I'm sold on ubuntu 8.04, I only play above that version in vertualbox [05:34] ? when you have time thanx [05:34] iflema, okay... will something like deb file:////media/Data/ubuntu karmic main universe restricted multiverse work ? [05:34] bodi, did you have a question? [05:35] yes [05:35] datakid_: md5sum/sha1sum your ISO [05:35] datakid_: to make sure the ISO is good [05:35] yadudoc: yeah... im lookin it up now... good question.... [05:35] !md5sum | datakid_ [05:35] datakid_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:35] sebsebseb, both md5sums have been perfect [05:35] yadudoc: ya can have http ftp cdrom etc [05:35] datakid_: burn the CD a bit slower, and make sure your burning the contents of the ISO to CD, not the ISO itself [05:36] sebsebseb, I burnt it as slow as possible, and it's not a disc with an .iso file on it :) [05:36] datakid_: what is it then USB? [05:36] datakid_: oh nevermind [05:36] datakid_: make sure the computer is able to boot from CD drive, also you could install from USB etc [05:36] i just installed ububtu 9 and noticed there are not many dvd riping programs avaliable for distros so tried all of the ones on the drop down and not one works any suddestions [05:36] no, it's a disc created _from_ the iso, but is not a disc with ubuntu-desktop.iso as the only file :) [05:37] iflema, honestly isn't that kindof lame.... they are not supporting anything besides cdroms for local file system [05:37] datakid_: you can install the ISO file direct into vertualbox and try it out to see if it works before you burn a disk [05:37] bodi, k3b? [05:37] datakid_: ok that's probably the problem then [05:37] yadudoc: nah.. ya can do what you ask.... just i forget [05:37] datakid_: I meant the contents of the ISO, if you have any other files on there as well [05:37] iflema, i think I need to download packages.bz also from the mirror .. but i wonder what if the packages on the mirror changed in between [05:37] where are the netbook remix IMG files? I can only find ISO [05:37] sebsebseb, what is? oh, yeah, the cdrom is filled with files - it looks like an install disk [05:38] datakid_: right, and only Ubuntu's files yes? [05:38] yadudoc: why... may i ask you wan twhole mirror [05:38] sebsebseb, yep [05:38] how to uninstall a program? [05:38] sacarlson when you're stucking yourself on a ubuntu LTS version like that it's time to learn better, try Archlinux by Chakra live cd, you will have the most up-to-date distro, lightweight and fast, you will learn a lot more about linux and even if you return to another distro that knowledge will follow you for a lifetime ... [05:38] datakid_: should boot up then, as long as your computer is able to boot from CD's still [05:38] yes i tried it and ot locks up on start [05:38] when I go into the bios it tells me that the cdrom boot option is first, but that it is (not present) [05:38] researcher1: sudo apt-get remove programname or if you want to do config files as well sudo apt-get purge programname [05:38] howto install driver modem usb ZTE mf628 on ubuntu 9.10 [05:38] anyone know where are the netbook remix IMG files are?

[05:40] dose anyone know if there is a channel for Debris-Linux? [05:40] yadudoc: yeah... why? [05:40] ok thanks [05:40] sacarlson archlinux isn't good for virtualbox virtual machine as I remember ... [05:40] researcher1, either using synaptic or like was previously mentioned : using apt-get remove [05:40] ok [05:40] iflema, i copied the mirror when I went to IITM that institution has a mirror, just the matter of an ftp download [05:41] too lightweight and slipstreamed maybe ... [05:41] researcher1, remember that using apt-get remove will require sudo infron of it [05:41] yadudoc: yeah but it goes stale [05:41] iflema, I'm getting a local mirror in my college... [05:41] just use web....... [05:41] researcher1: and synaptic can't be open when using those commands, or you will get an error message [05:41] can removing a package affect the other, i mean shared files as in Windows XP? [05:41] this is making me suicidal. why hide the IMG files? [05:41] /quit [05:41] yadudoc: oh fun..... you have some homework to do [05:41] researcher1: shoudn't do [05:42] thats nice to hear [05:42] researcher1: well if you remove samba for example, you woudn't be able to access files on XP like that etc [05:42] iflema, no... most packages don't change often right... u can take a diff and update the ones that need to be changed.. there must be some way to do that [05:42] how to remove a package/software/game the command line (CLI) way in the terminal > sudo apt-get remove packagename [05:42] bragoo: google says no. but there is a user forum... [05:42] but other prgrams will work? [05:43] yadudoc: gotta step for min.... [05:43] losha: tnx [05:43] researcher1: normalely if you remove a program from Ubuntu, it won't effect other programs [05:43] researcher1: well unless they are in the same group or whatever as in dependancies one needing the other etc [05:43] that really very good [05:43] hello, I'm looking for a cusomizable chat program for ubuntu that doesn't use the MSN network, yahoo, or google chat, are there any good recomendations for person to person chat programs/networks like this? [05:43] researcher1: oh and sometimes if removing programs it might want to remove ubuntu-desktop as well, but that's ok to do, it's just when your doing an upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu you might want that installed, so you get all of the next one [05:44] researcher1: if I am correct about that second bit anyway [05:44] *that are also usable by someone using windows XP [05:44] sebsebseb: is there a way to install a wireless drivers and firmware without internet ??? [05:44] spiky25: yes [05:44] rob_: have u tried Pidgin? [05:44] spiky25: or no [05:45] spiky25: ,but ndiswrapper can be done on the Live CD, if I remember correctly [05:45] how do i determine dependencies? autochecking possible? [05:45] sebsebseb, the disk installs fine on the virtual box. Does that mean I have a problem with my bios (ie, not finding cdrom drive during boot) [05:45] how ? do broadcom-wl or broadcom STA still included and working after install on 9.10 as 9.04 was ? [05:45] rob_: Empathy is the default mutli protocall network program, there's also Pidgin and Kopete [05:46] rob_: Empathy the default for Karmic/9.10 [05:46] datakid_: you probably need to go into the bios and change the boot order then [05:46] I think more I'm looking for a network that isn't msn yahoo or google [05:46] datakid_: so it boots from CD first then if it can't find one the hard disk [05:46] Hello , For some reason my other ubuntu computer isnt showing up in my network [05:46] Noting is only my self [05:46] that's what I was saying - the boot order is correct, but for some reason, next to 1. CDROM it says (not present) [05:46] spiky25: bummer about not working in virtualbox but I see it has a USB flash disk version. I might like to try that. [05:47] I checked but some bugs seem to talk about it so I wanna be sure to be ok ... [05:47] I liked Galaxiam, but I seem to miss a lot of msgs that come through the msn netword [05:47] network* [05:47] rob_: I am not sure what that is, but if it's a WIndows program which I assume it is, you may be able to Wine it [05:47] hello every body .. i am wondering with one thing is there any rss reader in ubuntu 9.10 that can use lib- notifiction demon for displaying any notification ... any wor's could be of great help for me ....;) [05:48] I have a computer lab with 30 pcs. I want to do networking 1 as server ( teacher terminal). Shall I go for Samba or what? [05:48] sacarlson I said to you that Archlinux and Chakra (Archlinux live cd installer project) don't work in virtualbox ... [05:48] researcher1: Samba is for file sharing, and there's NFS and SCP and what not as well. and then other programs for other types of networking [05:48] spiky25: yes I saw that. but It says it works on USB disk [05:49] thats a live boot i thik [05:49] I just want italc to work initially and moodle [05:49] spiky25: is the usb disk version working on your Archlinux? [05:49] Does anybody have experience with mythbuntu and IR blaster configuration (everybody is afk in #ubuntu-mythtv)? [05:49] researcher1: you want to do what exactly? [05:50] Im teaching to 30 studnet sin my computer lab [05:50] try your luck then, archlinux is worth a lot of troubles as it work really well after and it's a rolling release so no version change just update it ... [05:50] they occupy individual pc and do program in c or autocad [05:50] thanks for all the msgs, I think I'll see what else pidgen can do for me :) [05:50] researcher1: samba is cool for shareing files. [05:50] these pcs r in XP [05:50] Im on one terminal [05:51] !ssh > researcher1 [05:51] researcher1, please see my private message [05:51] !vnc > researcher1 [05:51] wanna see their desktops and talk to them thrugh headphone [05:51] researcher1: ah ha [05:51] yeah [05:51] ok [05:51] VNC then [05:51] or FreeNX [05:51] sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:51] Im in a small lab which ic simpe LAN [05:51] !vnc > researcher1 [05:51] researcher1, please see my private message [05:51] LAN is already done [05:52] ubottu I have seen ur message n will work accordingly [05:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:52] researcher1: ok if it's over a LAN, you don't need to do it over SSH, it's when using over the Internet VNC should be done over VNC to make secure [05:52] researcher1: ya VNC is what you want so you can see what the student('s) is doing [05:52] yo yo [05:52] researcher1: done over VNC, uhmm done over SSH when using over Internet [05:52] but then what type of networking server do i install to enable VNC to work? [05:52] My webcam seems to work fine other than using it with flash. After allowing a website to access my webcam through flash, it works for a second, but there's no sound. Then the image freezes, and the webcam doesn't work until i reboot my machine. Any ideas on what's causing this? [05:53] researcher1: a VNC client on Windows [05:53] ok [05:53] or uhmm the server uh [05:53] dpic: linux generally does not play nice with flash [05:53] shall I b able to see more desktops at a time? [05:53] but vinaigre vnc software isn't preinstalled on ubuntu ? [05:53] researcher1: yes [05:53] bllz: yet i can't find this specific internet on google or the forums [05:53] thats great [05:54] I think my issue is almost solved [05:54] dpic: you can't find what? [05:54] Im not in lab now but on working day I will do it soon [05:54] spiky25: yes it is [05:54] researcher1: for what it's worth, ive always been happy with tightvnc [05:54] dpic update to the latest flash beta or alpha and cross your fingers ... [05:54] researcher1: I know I've used one of the ubuntu (not default install) packages to vnc to windows XP before. [05:54] spiky25: already done [05:54] whats tightvnc? [05:54] researcher1: its a vnc client for windows [05:54] researcher1: a VNC client/server or uhmm both for Windows one of them [05:55] they also have a server, I believe [05:55] see also ultravnc [05:55] vnc 4 viewer for WIndows or whatever it is, that's good [05:55] sacarlson please clarify further [05:55] the free edition [05:55] PUlseaudio gives some problem in gaming, is there any way to tell an application to use alsa-oss instead? [05:55] researcher1: tightvnc is one that I have used I think on XP [05:55] studnets should not be able to control my desktop but vice vers should be possible [05:55] researcher1: yes of course [05:56] researcher1: you connect to their computers etc [05:56] researcher1: yeah just make sure the vnc server is on the student's computer and not yours lol [05:56] researsher tightvnc is the best app for that his choice can't be better for both ... [05:56] by VNC? [05:56] vnc = virtual network connection [05:56] howw do i find tightvnc? install? [05:56] google [05:57] researcher1: google tightvnc [05:57] how do i use IRC commands with empathy? [05:57] command line? for tightvnc? [05:57] www.google.com/linux search it there [05:57] researcher1: there are a few vnc clients for Windows, looks like you should do a bit of research [05:57] Entering them on the input box doesn't seem to work [05:57] researcher1: i must have hopped in on this issue a bit late. Your studens are all on ubuntu? [05:57] ok spiyk25 [05:57] anybody? [05:57] yadudoc: nice project ya got going, there are official ways... good luck [05:57] researcher1, http://marc-abramowitz.com/archives/2006/02/17/tightvnc-on-ubuntu/ [05:57] my studnets on XP [05:57] someone can explain for me how to install the new version of transmission in ubuntu ? I need to edit sources.list ? [05:57] anybody here using empathy? [05:58] ardchoille: uh the date in the url? [05:58] researcher1, you also have freenx as an alternative option [05:58] !search freenx [05:58] Found: nx, vnc, freenx [05:58] ardchoille: wrong one [05:58] i dont know freenx [05:58] researcher1: then you would google tightvnc and install the server executable to each computer [05:58] !info freenx [05:58] Package freenx does not exist in karmic [05:58] airtonix: see above that was for you [05:58] compared to tightvnc hows it? [05:58] itamarjp can I suggest you to try deluge software first ? [05:58] researcher1: and you'll be using ubuntu, then? [05:58] researcher1: I think I used xtightvncviewer on my Ubuntu side so to install #apt-get install xtightvncviewer [05:58] spiky25: how ? [05:59] how [05:59] apt://deluge in firefox [05:59] researcher1: if you're using ubuntu, i'd recommend the default vnc client [05:59] spiky25: I am running ubuntu in sheevaplug , there are no firefox [05:59] whats deluge? [05:59] !deluge|reseacher1 [05:59] reseacher1: deluge is a Bittorent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured cliekt to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce. See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or the package 'deluge-torrent' in the package repositories. [06:00] !hamachi | researcher1 [06:00] and it's a damn good one too! [06:00] i too feel vnc would be gud though I know neither vnc nor freenx [06:00] ok rtorrent will be more suited for cli commands for it [06:00] researcher1: bllz: I think bllz is correct as far a viewer I think the built in one will work too. [06:00] Anybody here on empathy? [06:00] researcher1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [06:00] bllz is for what? [06:01] researcher1: well find out about the vnc clients and servers for WIndows that's a start [06:01] deluge is the more near to an open source utorrent if you prefer but I don't do in command line ... [06:01] researcher1: don't make this complicated because it's really not =) Install the tightvnc server on the student's computers and then use the default vnc client in ubuntu to control them [06:01] researcher1: and bllz is a corruption of "balls" [06:01] ok bllz [06:01] spiky25: any other suggestion ? [06:02] silverfin try pidgin if empathy is too hard for you ... [06:02] i will try it in labs tomorrow n report here. Can i pm the sucess to you personally [06:02] researcher1: I understand the temptation to want to carefully compare all your options, but really, vnc clients are all the same [06:02] spiky25: I am using sheevaplug (openplug.org) [06:02] same with servers [06:02] and the default ubuntu one is great [06:02] right bllz [06:02] spiky25: It's not that anything is hard, I just can't seem to find where to enter IRC commands. [06:02] agree with hat off to care n concern [06:02] haha =) [06:02] itamarjp1 for the sheeva plug as it use cli commands only try rtorrent or transmission ... [06:03] spiky25: IRC commands on the input box doesn't seem to work. [06:03] rtorrent is more used in cli mostly [06:03] spiky25: I want to use transmission because of the webpage [06:03] itamarjp1: they have a webUI for rtorrent too [06:03] itamarjp1, rtorrent has web interfaces too [06:03] bllz-> i dont believe the default one allows for resumable vnc session [06:03] spiky25: may I know how I can send IRC commands? [06:03] rtorrent also have a web UI [06:03] airtonix: ok, I just want transmission 1.7 [06:04] itamarjp1, in fact transmission, deluge both have their own web interfaces [06:04] silverfin I don't use empathy sorry [06:04] ok no one can help me with my dhcpv6 configuration problem? I think I'm back to google. [06:04] airtonix, spiky25: do you know if rtorrent supports socks proxies for trackers yet? [06:04] Anybody here using empathy? [06:04] hello, After i click on upgrade in update manager it starts to download files and all of a sudden i get this error Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. [06:04] silverfin: nope, i'm so used to pidgin i just installed that [06:04] airtonix: ii transmission-daemon 1.51-0ubuntu3 [06:04] Afterall it's the default IRC client. [06:04] airtonix: I just want the version 1.7 [06:04] pshr_: did you add any 3rd party repositories? [06:05] airtonix deluge won't do as a sheeva plug a lightweight 100$us server without a GUI interface ... [06:05] is [06:05] yeah bllz i do have third party repos [06:05] like that of googles and few more i guess [06:05] spiky25, sheeva-what-now? [06:05] pshr_: then most likely you didn't import a gpg key for those servers so ubuntu is warning you that you have no way of ensuring that the packages are, indeed, coming from said servers [06:06] airtonix: http://openplug.org/ [06:06] pshr_: the solution is to go over your 3rd party repos and add the relevant GPG keys. There are usually instructions on the repository's homepage [06:06] sheeva plug > google it [06:06] itamarjp1, what version of ubuntu are you running ? [06:06] is there a way to over come that... like can i make it through upgrade with out those errors [06:06] pshr_: the most common culprits are winehq and medibuntu [06:06] spiky25, why do i want to google it? [06:07] thanks bllz [06:07] :) [06:07] airtonix: cat /etc/debian_version -> 5.0 [06:07] it's for your knowledge mostly [06:07] itamarjp1, lsb_release -d [06:07] np, pshr_ [06:08] airtonix: Description: Ubuntu 9.04 [06:08] any bug report for broadcom b4311 rev 01 on ubuntu 9.10 ???

I am looking to dual boot on a new hdd [06:26] eclipse_: tex is successful troll [06:27] Dasda: windows then ubuntu [06:27] if not sure, use the mplayer plugin with the good codec and it may work ... [06:27] I just got a dcc flood from him. >< [06:27] Dasda: Windows then Ubuntu, as otherwise Windows will overwrite your MBR and leave you unable to boot Ubuntu. [06:27] Dasda: grub will automatically detect the XP installation and autoconfigure the boot options [06:27] xp then ubuntu [06:27] ShadeS: do you plan on encrypting the linux half? [06:27] * silverfin "test" [06:27] no grub setup to do that way ... [06:27] ShadeS: I missed it, can you repeat?

[06:28] um [06:28] flexible: Complete removal (aka. purge) also removes configuration settings. [06:28] is running photoshop cs4 on ubuntu possible without vm????????? [06:28] flexible: complete removal removes config files as well [06:28] the_file: did you look into wine? [06:28] flexible: Although note that it's only *system* configuration settings. Your personal settings will remain. [06:28] aaah ok guys, Is there a page on the site that explains how to do it? I can ofcourse google it if it seems im lazy but I thought i'd ask if someone has a good guide on how to do it. I've never dual booted before. I have a really crappy computer and love the fact ubuntu is safe on internet [06:28] Hi, i'm trying to setup samba, but when I try to connect from my windows 7 computer, it seems like even though as my username I enter 'hajuu' it tries to use 'MICHAEL1\hajuu' as my username.

I get an error "Could not find core pointer device" in Xorg.0.log [06:28] Any ideas? [06:28] removal = software only, complete = software + configuration [06:29] http://www.tubekolly.com/ [06:29] This is the site [06:29] Dasda: Just install Windows then Ubuntu. The Ubuntu installer will walk you through it. [06:29] Dasda: don't bother. Install XP, and then when you install ubuntu, pick the option to resizze your drive and install ubuntu next to xp. the rest will be done automagically. it's that simple [06:29] svs, go back to the earlier kernel in the grub menu [06:29] i am on karmic [06:29] hey guys, im sure some of you know of jolicloud, a variant of ubuntu directed at netbooks. well i tried it out and it feels too barebones for my taste, however it has working drivers for my wifi card. is there anyway i can get these drivers into ubuntu?

I have an interesting topic for you. during the installation of Virtualbox, I get a funny little error, but it completes the installation like it's nobody's business. the error code is "no suitable module for running kernel found." this package is being installed to a custom live cd via THIS guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [06:31] voss asus eeepc 1000ha [06:31] Any ideas would be helpful [06:31] hey, I don't know if there is a #ubuntustudio but it shouldn't matter at this stage of the install. I have a hard disk that I split in half (win32/ubuntustudio). I plan to encrypt this disk. I'm not sure if I should go ahead and do that with true crypt in windows or if I have other options to explore..? [06:31] spiky i tried that it didnt work. [06:31] locatesri > flash and moonlight could be used check the documentation ... [06:31] skellington, http://www.eeebuntu.org/ [06:32] webmin has to be one of the coolest things ever [06:32] this the place to talk about it? [06:32] skellington, I'm using ubuntu nbr on eeepc 1000H - wifi works fine [06:32] opticon: + 1 internets to you [06:32] skellington, which version of ubuntu aree you using? [06:33] webmin user here !!! thumb up dude !!! [06:33] datakid i was using netbook remix. wifi was the only thing that didnt work [06:33] skellington, kernels later than 2.6.30 should contain ath9k, which is the driver you need [06:33] skellington, what ploceidae said is true [06:33] hi all, is there any shortcuts for rhythmbox as pressing z/x/c/v to choose play/pause/forward/backward ? [06:34] I don't know if i'm in the right place but I recently got a new laptop and I don't want to necessarily get rid of my old one but i won't be able to upgrade it to windows 7 so I was thinking of using ubuntu on it. any suggestions etc? [06:34] skellington for your netbook what you need of a linux distro ? [06:35] if you are reading this: do you know any1 that has run or is running adobe cs4 on ubuntu without vm?? [06:35] dark what do you want to do with your old laptop [06:35] ill try unr again and if it doesnt work, ill report back. [06:35] dark_and_twisty_: use linux mint, www.linuxmint.com. based on ubuntu + has codecs etc [06:35] dam [06:35] spiky25 what do i need? i need a fairly fast booting system. [06:35] i have a question about booting something from a usb [06:35] hello ubuntu dwellers!!! I have an interesting topic for you. during the installation of Virtualbox, I get a funny little error, but it completes the installation like it's nobody's business. the error code is "no suitable module for running kernel found." this package is being installed to a custom live cd via THIS guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [06:35] spiky25 but i dont want to feel limited to a silly webapp repository. [06:36] can i have someone pm me [06:36] well i'm not sure what I want to do with it, it's really not that good, but i was considering just using it for my hubs, ie always having it connected to the hubs and using my new laptop for most things, though I'm open to suggestions [06:36] the_file I have done it before ... [06:36] Dyinglight12, ask here in a concise and straightforward manner [06:37] dark and twisty what are the specs of your old laptop? [06:37] also, darn eeebuntu is ugly [06:37] skellington check Slitaz 2.0 and Archlinux maybe xpud [06:38] I'm looking for a graphic calculator program. Is there such thing for Ubuntu? [06:38] Im sure there is [06:39] skellington Archlinux by Chakra live cd all the way for you, hard but good for a lifetime [06:39] skellington, have you tried Ubuntu proper? it may not boot as fast as the netbook versions but you'll have working WiFi and you can remove startup programs that you don't need. [06:39] does anyone know if Internode hosts Lubuntu ? I had a look but can't see the iso's.. just artwork [06:39] spiky25 with such a low memory footprint, i assume these distros would not have my drivers [06:40] dark_and_twisty_ install ubuntu on old laptop.. give it a fair run.. realise how limited you are under windows and then install onto new laptop..... for better peformance.... yeah. [06:40] plodeidae i have, it did not work. the problem isnt missing drivers but faulty drivers it appears. i should have specified that before [06:40] my new laptop is a macbook, primarily for the size and portability. i'm just checking the specs of my old laptop, its been so long since i've used it that i've forgotten lol [06:41] Hey guys. Something's come up, for some reason grub no longer detects a file system to boot from. Don't think I made any changes, and don't think there were any updates recently (recently being past day) [06:41] Newbie-Widget: just install any ubuntu 9.10 variant then add lubuntu-desktop package from repositories of canontical/ubuntu ... [06:41] ittl do [06:41] when i try to connect to any access point, i cannot. they are detected, but i cant connect.. [06:41] skellington, what version of Ubuntu? what Linux kernel version? [06:41] Fortunately my /home partition is still there [06:41] spiky25: oh ic, ty :) [06:41] skellington you will have to install it manualy but Arch is worth the trouble === Eclip^94 is now known as Eclipse` [06:42] ploceidae oh gosh, i dont remember. ill try out the new ones tomorrow and see if they work, if not ill just come back here. [06:42] 9.10 and more only Newbie-Widget [06:43] spiky25 yes ive heard great things about it but im not a very motivated person [06:43] it take a while before new stuff is added to ubuntu repositories ... [06:43] spiky25: ahh k [06:43] Anyone know of a PPA building an icedtea6-plugin that is compatible with Firefox 3.6? [06:43] skellington, the only reason i ask is i'm using an EeePC with Ubuntu Karmic, 2.6.31 kernel and had no problems with WiFi [06:44] bah my old laptop is still turning on. [06:44] ploceidae what model? [06:44] so what do you guys like best about ubuntu? [06:44] 900A [06:44] skellington just try it by the Chakra live cd on a desktop computer first but it take a while to be perfect with it ... [06:44] so it's actually using a different driver: ath5k [06:44] but still, i don't think there should be issues with ath9k [06:44] do ya wanna keep the old windows? [06:44] icedtea ??? use adobe flash or gnash ... [06:45] If I'm running from a Live session, how can I get fsck to run on my hdd's main boot partition? [06:45] dark_and_twisty_: nothing ... [06:45] dark_and_twisty_: do ya wanna keep the old windows? [06:45] spiky25: you don't like it? [06:45] um no not really [06:45] ploceidae i know there shouldnt be issues. but i know that ive had issues with it. ill just try out a few fixes later and see how it goes [06:45] I would stay on Archlinux if the proprietary softwares where supported well ... [06:46] spiky25 maybe someday.. [06:46] skellington, best of luck :) [06:46] hi guys [06:46] ploceidae thanks. [06:46] when i mount a samba share and it times out is there a way to not make it cock up my system? [06:47] when is trim support comming to ubuntu? [06:48] skellington Archlinux is always up-to-date and you don't need to reinstall it again for a lifetime like gentoo, it accept packages and sources (emerge style) ... [06:48] why does truecrypt only offer 256 bit encryption? [06:48] seems a bit light [06:48] dark_and_twisty_: OK..... 1. software free (almost always) = no demos, cracks, keygens = less chance of virus/malware [06:49] holmser try ubuntu alternate cd it offer encrypted partition creation at installation ... [06:49] holmser: I think you're confusing the key lengths of the various algorithms. [06:49] Oh noes, gparted shows my old / as "unknown file system", does this mean what I think? Would there be any way of bringing it back? [06:49] iflema: okay cool thanks lol [06:49] holmser: While 256-bit is not strong for RSA, for AES it is very strong. [06:49] holmser: they are completely different types of keys. [06:49] ok [06:49] that makes sense [06:50] Check the documentation to see how cause it make a long time for me, too much to help you a lot ... [06:50] wgrant: wasn't AES over 128-bits found to have a weakness making it equivalent to 119 bits? [06:50] okay laptop finally on... my laptop is vista home premium, intel core 2 duo, 1.83 ghz, 2gb ram and its 32bit os [06:51] microlith: Yes. [06:51] Mmm, ok, so I found my old / through gparted, but I can't see it in /dev, what am I looking for? [06:51] hello. I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 ... my sound was working fine before -- now it's all garbled. any suggestions -- short of a complete reinstall of the entire os -- that I could do in order to try to fix the sound? I'm not an ubuntu expert. thanks! [06:51] vista omg everything is better even then that ... [06:51] i know its so crap [06:51] i hate it [06:52] and i know this is unrelated but the fan only works if i have speed fan open. [06:52] which i forgot about and the computer hadn't been turning on because i forgot to open speed fan haha [06:53] just try Slitaz 2.0 from the live cd you will forget vista after that ... [06:53] hello, how can i install Network Manager whitout internet? [06:53] on ubuntu studio? [06:53] anyone have any ideas about the sound issue? [06:53] use wicd download it from the ubuntu packages website songer ... [06:54] http://express.paltalk.com/ [06:54] Yikes, scary amount of fsck problems here [06:54] see if any one has paltalk [06:54] songer, did you have it before? [06:54] i wanna see if anyone can sin in good [06:55] i think i am having the same issue- I am unable to complete an install from the live CD it just keeps freezing on the installer-- any advice? [06:55] no [06:55] i <3 my new laptop but i don't like shakespeer (the only real option for dc use) and would also like to have it always open so i can log mainchat, so i think thats one of the things i'd like to use my old laptop with ubuntu for , as well as just to play around, experiment and indulge my inner nerd. [06:56] nalsa__, did you md5 the iso; burn at very low speed then do the disk integrity check? [06:56] !md5 | nalsa__ [06:56] nalsa__: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:56] (17:52:35) dark_and_twisty_: inner nerd you say.... can that thing boot from cd? http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download [06:56] yeah [06:57] nalsa__, if all those successfully complete and you are still stuck you should consider using the text only alternate installer; it does well when the live cd cannot in certain cases [06:58] I think ext4 full died on me or something [06:58] thanks for the response-- yes the image is good-- I have booted it up fine and installed without issues on alternate machines [06:59] songer, You can go here and download the package. Move it to Ubuntubox with a thumb drive or w/e: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager [06:59] hello ? [06:59] iflema: thanks so much. i'm going to start there. I didn't want to jump into it the wrong way :) [06:59] dark_and_twisty_: 32bit or 64bit you say....... [07:00] 32bit [07:00] and as far as doing text only install im sure that will work-- but all my issues in the first place have been with gui- (freezing/no being able to click on things) [07:00] 64 bits if you have a 64 bits cpu [07:00] dark_and_twisty_: you can maybe google you laptop stats for compatibility or dive in... [07:00] Has anyone compiled intel drivers for a 950 gma that can help me out? [07:01] fucking useless [07:01] im pretty sure it is a video card issue at this point-- kinda at a loss [07:01] dark_and_twisty_: dive in...... come here for q&a [07:01] okay cool thanks! [07:01] wow, rage quit! [07:01] and don't use ext4 for now stay on ext3 except for partition without important data or that you can lose ... [07:01] nalsa: try downgrading maybe? [07:02] downgrading? [07:02] why? [07:02] ext4 seems to be fine [07:02] if it wasn't it wouldn't be the default for new karmic installations. [07:03] or included in new kernels for other linux distro's [07:03] oh, you are speaking about initial install [07:03] help please [07:03] ext4 still outperformed by ext3 [07:04] Audio: Card Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller driver HDA Intel [07:04] Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Version 1.0.20 [07:04] and ext4 isn't a standard yet and ubuntu always putted new stuff before others with a little risk ...

[07:37] does anyone know where the configuration file is for the ATI FGLRX driver ? I can't get it to do the right thing via the GUI and just want the equivalent of xorg.conf [07:37] If my webcam doesn't work with either cheese nor gstreamer-properties but it used to work. what is the best way to submit a bug report? ubuntu-bug cheese? [07:37] terriblesarcasm, for ubuntu, there's #ubuntu-motu, but they're mostly for packaging, not programming [07:37] i have a problem with opensuse: when i try to login as user it says "authentication failure"! [07:37] can anyone help me with nessus? I can't find how to launch to application i've tried launching it via terminal by typing in nessus but it won't launch. I installed it using the deb on nessus' website [07:38] rance94, how did you install your current ubuntu desktop? [07:38] anyone know how i can transfer a direct from one ssh server to another? [07:38] terriblesarcasm: #ubuntu-offtopic, or #ubuntu-programming [07:38] directory* [07:38] thanks Flannel [07:38] airtonix i had windows and i burnt ubuntu on too a usb [07:38] Bridge|, scp [07:38] airtonix now i boot it wit that [07:38] rance94, and where did you get ubuntu from originally? [07:39] Does ubuntu have a full DVD OS like other OS have ? [07:39] airtonix www.ubuntu.com [07:39] gh0s7: did you mean nexiuz? FPS [07:39] jennie yes [07:39] airtonix: couldn't he just use the usb to install the virtual machine? [07:39] rance94, so you still have the file you used to setup the usb boot ? [07:39] iflema no i mean nessus [07:39] k [07:39] terriblesarcasm, sure if you want to walk him through that [07:39] airtonix it is on my usb [07:39] error404notfound: adding them to /usr/local/bin or including ~/bin in your $PATH would make it much easier to do what your complicating [07:39] hey can anyone help me set up jack to use pulseaudio? [07:39] i've got pulseaudio-module-jack [07:39] s/your/you're [07:39] rance94 but on ubuntu site there are only CD version in the download section [07:39] just don't know how to set it up [07:39] airtonix i could get it off [07:39] bastid_raZor, nah, did something else :P [07:39] oooh === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [07:40] rance94, so you do already have the iso file avilable ? [07:40] airtonix yeah im pretty sure [07:40] jennie: the dvd version just has addational languages and a few other things. No real need to use the DVD version [07:40] rance94, ok, so now need to know which version of ubuntu you are running [07:41] on this laptop im running 9.10 on the usb it is still 9.04 [07:41] i need help setting up pulse audio and jack together [07:41] bummer, it sucks to get no response [07:41] is there a place which is usually used to store different mountpoints? [07:41] rance94, are you doing this python work on the laptop? [07:41] Dr_Willis, dont the dvd version include most of packages ? I thought DVD has most of packages like other distros have [07:41] airtonix yes [07:41] i'll try reddit/r/ubuntu :) [07:41] jennie: Nope. Not really. [07:42] rance94, ok install virtualbox-3.0 [07:42] jennie: thers a 'b-side' project taht includes a lot of extra packages for ubuntu if you want to install some things for a machines thats offline [07:42] !search virtualbox-3.0 [07:42] Found: === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [07:42] !search virtualbox [07:42] airtonix i do have it installed [07:42] Found: vbox, virtualizers, virtualbox, vmware, virtualization [07:42] give me link [07:43] anyone? [07:43] rance94, ok start it up then. [07:43] airtonix k it is up [07:43] anyone help me with nessus client 4.0? [07:43] rance94, click the blue star icon for new machine [07:43] k [07:44] Hello I have an installation question, I have ubuntu 9.04, if I want to do a fresh install of ubuntu, and I want to do a fresh install of 9.10, is it ok to install grub again? Also, do I need to do anything before installing like format? (I have a dualboot with windows) [07:44] airtonix wanna private chat [07:44] rance94, no because then it deprives others of helping you also [07:44] airtonix ahh true ok soo im gonna name it then... [07:45] I need help with my xorg.conf file as it will not allow me to force a resolution [07:45] Dr_Willis , where can i get the bside project link ? [07:45] rance94, 1) new machine 2) name it 3) select ostype : linux version : ubuntu 4) select memory size (250mb) 5) boot hard disk (create a new one 4gb) : fixed size [07:46] can someone help me to fully remove and re-install the ATI FGLRX driver [07:46] rance94, if you have quite a large hardrive on your laptop feel free to gie it much more space on the virtual hard drive [07:46] jennie: first guess.. google.. or check out my delicious.com links under 'dr_willis' [07:46] rance94, same logic applies to the memory [07:46] jennie: i might have it in my ubuntu tags [07:46] is there an ATI linux channel ? [07:47] hipitihop: have you checked out http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide [07:47] rance94, when you have that machine ready to boot in the list let me know [07:47] laocoon, looking now [07:48] hipitihop: sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx to remove then reinstall with that guide [07:48] airtonix ok ill let u know [07:48] hipitihop: pm? [07:49] Looks like an Atheros driver I need is on a dead website (http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx). Anybody have a copy of AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz they can point me to? [07:49] Greetings.. I have a question.. and this may sound strange.. but does Ubuntu/Conical/FOSS need money? === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [07:50] amazing. wubi detected that there was only 6gb available and made a 5gb image [07:50] it failed to detect that the installation iso would take up all that space. [07:51] airtonix ok it is ready! [07:51] dogatemycomputer: https://shop.canonical.com/ ? [07:51] rance94, right click the entry in the list and click settings [07:51] andrew_46: well.. that's the thing.. I don't really want anything. [07:51] rance94, then goto cd\dvdrom [07:51] dogatemycomputer: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/donations ? [07:51] can you guys help me set up pulseaudio and jack together? [07:51] airtonix k [07:51] i mean, i could modify wubi to use an external drive for the installation iso, butttt [07:52] my user experience is already destroyed :D [07:52] rance94, 1) tick "mount cd/dvd-rom' 2) click the radio for ISO image-file 3) should be a folder button at the end there now (click it) [07:52] davep: friends dont let friends use Wubi [07:52] terriblesarcasm andrew_46: good.. okay.. well.. here is what I was thinking.. I routinely donate to my local Public Radio Station and I donate to the Society for the Prevention and Cruelty to Animals. I donate about $100/year to each because I give them my credit card number and they automatically draft $8/month out of my account which comes to about $100/year. [07:53] airtonix ok i clicked it [07:53] rance94, 1) (toolbar up the top) click add 2) navigate to your usb drive (make sure it's plugged in and mounted) 3) find the iso file [07:53] dogatemycomputer: i think that maybe you can set up a 'subscription' in paypal to do just that [07:53] terriblesarcasm: andrew_46: If you consider the average idiot spends about $100/year for Windows then I don't see why I have to login every month and donate manually. [07:53] how can i manually set up a wubi-like installation? [07:53] airtonix k i have to go get usb brb [07:53] hey guys.. is there a shortcut key that rolls up the window? super + d iconizes all windows... what about rolling up? [07:53] re-partitioning isnt an option :\ [07:54] terriblesarcasm: good.. so why can't Conical do that for people automatically? [07:54] rance94, navigating to your usb drive will usually be at /media/ [07:54] well, unless i pirated a decent partition resizer [07:54] davep: thers always virtualbox. [07:54] meh [07:54] airtonix k i just put it in [07:54] its a netbook, no hardware virtualisation [07:54] davep: i find gparted on the gparted-live-cd works well for me. [07:54] haha! Found a copy on a file-hoster. For future reference for the logs: http://bebasupload.com/m2u3trvkjd7y/AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz.html\ [07:54] alright, ill try it [07:54] dogatemycomputer: because they are busy trying to code things that make canonical better :) , why recode something that is available on paypal? :) [07:54] davep: i run virtualbox on my netbook. the low ram is a bit of a factor however. [07:54] meh, i upgraded it to 2gb [07:55] davep, buy another hardrive [07:55] terriblesarcasm: I just think if people could contribute without having to "set it up" or "worry about it" (and more importantly.. do it without having to go through the process of creating a Paypal account) then I don't see why someone isn't managing this. My Public Radio station just collected $700,000 in the last 45 days. [07:55] davep: Such Powar! [07:55] well [07:55] i could buy a bigger ssd [07:55] terriblesarcasm: because people are lazy and FOSS could use their money? [07:55] but they cost about half the entire cost of the netbook [07:55] airtonix the iso isnt in there???? [07:55] davep: you can also just install/run from a Decent sized flashdrive [07:55] terriblesarcasm: unless you are saying FOSS doesn't need lazy people's money? [07:55] dogatemycomputer: i don't know what FOSS is [07:55] Can anyone help me [07:55] terriblesarcasm: FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. [07:56] well [07:56] rance94, you then need to 1) find it 2) download it again. [07:56] i put the kubuntu netbook installer on an 8gb drive [07:56] it seems to "extract" to the target drive first [07:56] THEN install [07:56] >:| [07:56] airtonix hang on i think it might be in here let me look [07:56] if i find the guy that came up with that... [07:56] dogatemycomputer: if you can argue this much about how they don't do it you could have already set it up with paypal by now [07:57] terriblesarcasm, dogatemycomputer: ummm offtopic much? [07:57] ^^^ [07:57] maco: hence my point.. where is "on topic" and who should I contact? [07:57] dogatemycomputer: on topic is ubuntu support [07:57] dogatemycomputer, http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/contactus [07:58] How do I do a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 on a dual boot? Currently running 9.04 and windows [07:58] davep: i just use unetbootin, or the usb-0creator tool or other guides to make a bootale usb disk. You dont put the installer on a usb, then 'install' to the same usb. [07:58] dogatemycomputer: it might make more sense to pick a non-profit foundation or project making software you like, such as the GNOME Foundation, Apache Foundation, KDE, or Inkscape [07:58] el_compA, insert the 91.0 cd in the cdrom drive and reboot [07:58] well [07:58] i think what i did was [07:59] i copied the cd image files, then switched it to syslinux [07:59] davep: I also learned how to setup grub2 to boot the various iso files from the flash/hd. whch lets me setup a 5+Disrto flash drive. [07:59] it should be able to install DIRECTLY to a target drive === sether__ is now known as ploceidae [07:59] why does a CD have to EXTRACT AN ISO to install? [07:59] el_compA, 9.10 (karmic) cd i mean. ( assuming you already have the iso file and have burnt it to a blank cd) [07:59] el_compA: install it onto the partition that currently has the older version of ubuntu on it [07:59] maco: well.. that makes sense but I always assumed that the company who is packaging/distributing all that software would be in a better position to collect funds and distribute them upstream to projects that help move the platform forward. Don't worry though.. I appreciate the help. I'll contact Support. [07:59] davep: ive no idea what you are trying to do. Ive never had touse anything more then an iso file i downloaded and the unetbootin program. [07:59] hi, i'm running version 9.04 and nautilus keeps crashing constantly when i open a folder on desktop, how can i resolve this? [07:59] airtonix: But in the installation how do completely remove 9.04 and then install 9.10 [07:59] im trying to use wubi to install from within windows [08:00] dogatemycomputer: the distribution does not distribute money among upstreams [08:00] to an internal 8gb ssd. [08:00] dogatemycomputer: canonical sells services to earn money [08:00] davep: wubi is worth avoiding like its the plague. - thats the extent of my experience with Wubi. [08:00] maco: I think that should be someone's job at the distrubution. [08:00] dogatemycomputer: if you want to give to upstream, you do so directly [08:00] el_compA, yes, and this is where you learn that seperating your system files from your home/documents folder into two seperate partitions will save you much time and effort for future clean upgrades [08:00] ever since i installed and uninstalled ClamAV, my bootup has been slower, and "Starting AppArmor" is being done twice during bootup.. ideas what went wrong and/or how to fix? [08:00] heh [08:00] i wanted to avoid resizing the partition [08:00] but wubi has forced my hand >:| [08:00] maco: well.. the average idiot isn't going to go find someone upstream.. which is the problem I think needs correcting. [08:00] dogatemycomputer: sending patches upstream is enough work :P [08:01] dogatemycomputer: perhaps you could make a website with "donate to...." and then buttons for all different upstreams? [08:01] el_compA_, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34136/screenshot_003_I4EkpE.png [08:01] airtonix: I tried doing that in a virtual machine and it failed [08:01] airtonix ok i finally found it [08:01] oh, i see the problem now [08:02] wubi appears to be a sandwhich of python scripts [08:02] airtonix i had to dig and im still not sure if this iso is the right one lol [08:02] sandwich* [08:02] rance94, i think it matters little, its only going to be your priate python server thing [08:02] how ubuntu is better than fedora ? [08:02] rance94, private* [08:02] OMama, no, [08:02] OMama, doesn't use rpm. [08:02] what is the command to show the Applications-menu? I need to make a shortcut for it [08:02] OMama, fedora is better then ubuntu. [08:02] OMama: try them both out - see what you perfer. [08:03] airtonix huh o well ill try and see if this is it [08:03] rance94, so you still ahve the selection window open for finding the iso file? [08:03] maco: thank you for the help and sorry for being off-topic! [08:03] no [08:03] i love how the install fails.....and it makes no attempt to clean up [08:03] airtonix this takes sooo long lol and i need to go get the iso lmao [08:04] rance94, ok in the vbox main window click file > virtual media manager [08:04] airtonix wait i have the live CD haha [08:04] hi. does anyone know how to get gdb in karmic to work? It somehow things my app is threaded, but it isn't, so it doesn't find the thread, and then hangs in error state - can't continue to debug. "[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]" "Cannot find new threads: generic error" [08:04] i have two x-screens running different monitors, and gnome is insisten on running on both... currently it keeps reloading the interface, which means it is unusable because nothing is focused... it is like they are both fighting to load... how do i stop Gnome from loading on a second display (screen1) [08:04] google shows many hits for that, so ubuntu has a broken gdb in karmic? [08:04] airtonix k [08:04] flexible: good idea to always tell the channel what video card you are using - in such a question. [08:05] rance94, when you say "you have the live cd" is it a file or an actual physical disc [08:05] Dr_Willis: good point... it is an Nvidia 6600 [08:05] Yes airtonix that's the partition I deleted and installed it on but it failed i get black screen that says starting init crypto disks... [08:05] airtonix it is the actual physical disk [08:05] !find virtualbox [08:05] Found: virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-ose-dbg, virtualbox-ose-guest-source, virtualbox-ose-guest-utils, virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 (and 3 others) [08:06] flexible: you have installed the nvidia drivers using the Admin->hardware drivers tool ? [08:06] rance94, ok below the toolbar you see three tabs, select the middle one (cd/dvd images) [08:06] wait i need to go get the cd dont i?? [08:06] I need good rsync switches for an incremental backup? [08:06] rance94, actually no this is wrong. close the virtual media manager [08:06] Dr_Willis, yes... the drivers work fine [08:06] airtonix ok [08:06] rance94, settings of the virtual machine (right click it in the list) [08:06] flexible: i always use the twinview feature. Ive never seen the need for 2 seperate X 'displays' [08:06] hmm i would like to assign the windows key to the "Show the panel's main menu" But in the keyboard shortcuts i have to assign windowskey+someOtherKey. How do I assign ONLY the windows key ? [08:07] speedxxxcore: you may want rdiffbackup not rsync [08:07] k [08:07] speedxxxcore: it keeps incremental snapshots === sether__ is now known as sether [08:07] airtonix k [08:07] speedxxxcore: ive never used it though [08:07] rance94, cd/dvd-rom > tick mount cd/dvd dirve > select host drive [08:07] Dr_Willis: yes, but my two monitors are of different resolutions. which caused some glitches... [08:07] anyone? [08:07] rance94, put the disc in your laptops cdrom drive [08:07] One is widescreen, the other is a normal ratio [08:08] flexible: so are mine. but ive no real problems other then a small bit of a 'dead' zone at the bottom of the smaller one. Been using them this way for years. [08:08] airtonix let me go find it [08:08] flexible: i align the top or bottom side how i like normally. Rarely have any big problems with them. [08:08] !find virtualbox [08:08] Found: virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-ose-dbg, virtualbox-ose-guest-source, virtualbox-ose-guest-utils, virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 (and 3 others) [08:08] hmm i would like to assign the windows key to the "Show the panel's main menu" But in the keyboard shortcuts i have to assign windowskey+someOtherKey. How do I assign ONLY the windows key ? [08:08] flexible: biggest issue i have is dumb programs that try to fullscreen across both because they dont detect the res's properly [08:09] el_compA_, this is how my partitions are setup on my desktop : http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34136/screenshot_003_I4EkpE.png >> see how swap is first then system and lastly /home has the rest of the drive space ? [08:09] airtonix ok im back and i have to cd [08:10] rance94, ok put in the drive and start the virtual machine. you should now be able to install ubuntu onto the virtual machine as you would normally [08:11] airtonix thx k so now install it like normal?? [08:11] rance94, yes. [08:12] k i hit something lol i dont know what i did lmao [08:12] hmm i would like to assign the windows key to the "Show the panel's main menu" But in the keyboard shortcuts i have to assign windowskey+someOtherKey. How do I assign ONLY the windows key ? [08:12] what is the command to show the Applications-menu? I need to make a shortcut for it [08:12] guys, im gonna try a netboot install found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows but the Link in step 2 doesnt work.. anyone have an alternate ? [08:12] Diverdude, using gnome? [08:13] airtonix, yeah [08:13] Diverdude, and thus metacity window manager (which controls the application menus) [08:13] not step 2 sry, paragraph 2 [08:13] airtonix, yes [08:13] under "Netboot approach" [08:14] Diverdude, so you are under the impression there is a command line program to run that will make it show up on a programs window ? [08:14] airtonix, it? [08:14] can someone explain the background to this statement? (2009-12-13 07:58:51) tonyyarusso: All of the system scripts *should* be using dash these days. [08:14] Diverdude, "it" being the application window menu [08:14] airtonix, hmm well yes...its the panels main menu i am talking about [08:15] Diverdude, or are you refering to the gnome applet menu [08:15] airtonix, Like in this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/ [08:15] anyone [08:15] hey guys === rainofkayos is now known as BladeNBrocade [08:15] how would I go about backing my ubuntu 9.10 [08:15] I just want my installed programs , photos etc.. [08:15] airtonix, only problem is that i have to press the windows key + some other key [08:15] Diverdude, there isn't a command you can use in the terminal that will make it show as far as i know [08:15] then reinstall everything back on on ubuntu 9.04 [08:16] airtonix, ok...but is there a way i can assign the windows key to it? [08:16] airtonix, pretty sure he wants a keystroke to drop the menu down [08:17] Diverdude, gnome will refer to it as the super key [08:17] when your creating a raid with mdadm, how do you sepcify the first partion on a series of disks? is it /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}1 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}(1) /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}{1} [08:17] airtonix, ok...so what do i have to do then? [08:17] Diverdude, are you also running compiz ? [08:17] whoy................. [08:17] airtonix, yep [08:17] Diverdude, ok do you hae compizconfig-settings-manager installed ? [08:17] airtonix, yes indeed [08:18] Diverdude, this is where you'll need to make the changes you want. [08:18] pyrophelia: in a config file? those look like at attempt at shell expansion, bubt if you mean shell expansion, the first one [08:18] airtonix, aha ok...where in the compizconfig-settings-manager ? [08:18] Diverdude, the standard keyboard shortcuts applet is ignored when running compiz unless you make some background changes [08:19] kermit, well no i'll be be building each raid by hand but I have a lot :P [08:19] Diverdude, i'm also assuming you are using karmic 9.10 [08:19] airtonix, indeed i am [08:19] sudo mdadm --create --verbose --force /dev/md0 --level=raid6 --chunk=128 --raid-devices=15 --spare-devices=0 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o}1 [08:19] like that? [08:19] Diverdude, compizconfig-settings-manager should be in your system menu -> preferences [08:19] pyrophelia: how about /dev/sd[a-o]1 [08:19] airtonix, yep. i am there [08:20] Diverdude, keyboard shortcuts are controled via the commands section within that app [08:20] pyrophelia: assuming you have all those devices in /dev/ [08:20] yea [08:20] I didn't know I could use - [08:20] Diverdude, woops wrong [08:20] airtonix, hmm the command sections? === Hans_Henrik_ is now known as Hans_Henrik [08:20] Diverdude, its under the general section in the bindings tab [08:21] can somebody please help me configure lineakd for my HP2506? Half of my Easy Access keys aren't working. [08:21] okay. generel->commands and then what? [08:21] Diverdude, again, no its not. in the main list there do you see an entry called " gnome compability" ? [08:21] airtonix, yes i do [08:22] Diverdude, it is in there [08:22] Diverdude, i just tested it by setting it to shift alt g [08:22] airtonix, hmm but it is still not working [08:22] Diverdude, make sure that the tick box on the far left of the window is ticked to enable the module [08:22] Anyone know how to fix this? OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer [08:23] airtonix, i pressed to button [08:23] Diverdude, yeah super button alone wont work( didnt for me either) [08:23] or selected [08:24] airtonix, damn thats what i want :( [08:24] Diverdude, this is because there is something else in gnome that interferes with this [08:24] airtonix, ok. so how can i do it? [08:24] kermit: you can't use - when specifying devices for mdadm, they must be in , order [08:25] Diverdude, one sec, i need to find the app for it [08:25] pyrophelia: im still not clear, are you asking about shell expansion or a config file particular to mdadm? [08:25] neither, I was building the raid right from the shell [08:25] unless that's what you mean by shell expansion [08:25] pyrophelia: 'shell' was the first choice, yes [08:25] Diverdude, ok you mileage may vary but : system > preferences > windows [08:25] pyrophelia: [a-o] will expand in alphabetical order [08:26] you might want to double check that [08:26] mdadm didn't like it [08:26] Diverdude, movement key : change that to something else [08:26] I changed it to , order and it worked fine [08:26] pyrophelia: try 'echo ...' to see for yourself how these things expand [08:27] pyrophelia: just put echo in front of the whole line [08:27] airtonix, the movement key is set to Alt already [08:27] pyrophelia: rather than speculating about it [08:27] Diverdude, ok this isn't it either (there are still some conflicting issues with compiz and gnome so its not going to be a real fix) [08:28] airtonix, ok...its okay ill just assign anoher key.

X.org problem... anyone can help? [08:37] klearr, be more specific that "X.org problem" and someone might be able to... [08:37] is it safe to try to mount the ntfs drive that is my host drive for the wubi install im currently running? [08:38] apanda: im not sure thats doable. Ive heard of others having issues trying that. But i avoide Wubi like its the plague. :) [08:38] apanda, only if you don;t acare about the wubi install [08:38] partition resized. yay. [08:39] as soon as I log into my Ubuntu, I get "Cannot View in this Mode" or something similar -- when I log in as another user on the same computer, GNOME shows up fine... I only get the X.org problem with the root user (MY root user, not the "root" root) [08:39] okay, now lets hope that the installer doesnt try to run from inside a chroot which has no dev files again [08:39] i have a lot of files called core and core.1687 and core.2345 etc. What are those files? I cannot seem to open them [08:39] makes grub surprisingly hard to install [08:40] davep: thers ways to make the chroot env. see the proper /dev/ [08:40] wubi is good because it made installing linux easy ;) but now i need to somehow get some ntfs data into linux and resize the ntfs and repartition it :p [08:40] yeah [08:40] but an automated installer [08:40] should do that [08:40] i had to do that MANUALLY. [08:40] davep: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:40] hello everyone! [08:40] davep: you are doiing weird stuff to begin with.. so it can be expectd. === Ellie_Momotaro is now known as movela [08:40] i did nothing weird [08:40] it was a standard ubuntu install [08:40] (in that case) [08:41] davep: you are using a chroot toinstall you just said.. that is weird. [08:41] i did nothing [08:41] ubottu, enter | davep [08:41] davep: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:41] is eeebuntu any differ from ubuntu netbook remix? btw i have a eeepc 1000ha.. thanks! [08:41] davep: so given the lack of actual info youve given us.. we have no idea what you are really doing. We dont need a "play by play" either :) [08:41] i ran the installer as normal. then when i got to grub, it said it failed. [08:41] so the worst case that happens if i try to mount the wubi hosting ntfs drive is that i damage the wubi install? it's only meant to be a temporary solution so that would be ok [08:42] i checked what it was doing... it chrooted to the new install, and tried to run grub. with no dev files. [08:42] davep: the fixgrub wiki page details the needed commands to properly reinstall grub. - one of those commands detail how to set up the /dev/ properly [08:42] i've already fixed it :P [08:43] i dont see why an average user should have to know what chroot is to install ubuntu. [08:44] davep: an average setup - grub dosent fail to install. [08:44] im glad that you ahve tested the installer on every possible hardware configuration and have reached that conclusion. :D [08:44] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users.

[08:47] Sacho: its not 'support related' so yes. It is rambling. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue. [08:47] why does ubuntu boldly assume the system clock is set to UTC? [08:47] it doesnt ask me if it is. it just says, okay, you're in sydney, IT MUST be 6am now! [08:47] Hi. I have ubuntu 9.04 on my machine. I am unable to boot ubuntu. I get an error saying Busybox initramfs. Any help? [08:47] davep: now thats a support related question. :) [08:47] because the world doesn't start with US times. [08:47] Seveas: i have, neither support smooth scrolling, and i dont think you can have 6 windows tiled with 10 tabs of channels in each window, either [08:47] davep, because UTC is the one true timezone (and the installer does ask, last time I checked) [08:47] Dr_Willis: I was agreeing :) [08:47] okay, im going to blame whoever assembled the kubuntu netbook installer then [08:47] davep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple%20Boot%20Systems%20Time%20Conflicts [08:48] davep, then file a bug.

[08:50] guys.. for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows .. section "The Netboot Approach" .. link for "linux and initrd.gz" diesnt work [08:50] any alternate? [08:50] gaurav1, that error usually means it cannot find your rootpartition. Did you do any partition shuffling recently? [08:50] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#spambots [08:50] Nope. [08:50] Nothing. [08:51] uh lol you could just have told me that the host drive for wubi is already mounted in /host :) [08:51] gaurav1, the real error is not 'busybox initramfs' but a few lines above that. Can you maybe take a picture of the screen and upload it somewhere? [08:51] nu ska jag installera vmware-server på min linode.. [08:51] that was fun [08:51] undra om det funkar.. och om det är ok [08:51] apanda: the amazing thing about wubi.. is that no one seems to actually to use it very much. :) [08:52] how can i get to a text based installer? === el_compA_____ is now known as el_compA [08:52] sry wrong channel [08:52] davep, ubuntu alternative download [08:52] !se | speedxxxcore [08:52] speedxxxcore: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du i #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [08:52] davep: thats what is on the 'alternative-cd' its a text based installer. [08:52] this gui based installer is beyond terrible. the performance is awful, it doesnt even cache the contents of dropdowns :D [08:52] >.< [08:52] that is your opinion. [08:52] Demand a refund! [08:52] I have an old laptop Dell Inspiron 1150 Celeron 2.5ghz would I be advised to install the netbook remix on it or will i gain no advantage on older hardware? [08:53] ok nvm, found [08:53] There is no text based alternative-cd for the 'netbook remix' that ive ever seen. [08:53] of course not. [08:53] Seveas: a'right. i'll do that after a reboot. i'm on the livecd. when i try to mount my root patition i get this error. " mount: wrong fs type, bad option, superblock on /dev/sd6 [08:53] netbook remix works fine as it is. [08:53] an opinion it may be [08:53] neilson: you would gain very little speed advantage using the netbook remix. Perhaps xubuntu [08:53] quick question though for that netboot.. it says "Create a directory called boot in the root directory of the first primary partition of your hard drive (usually drive c:\, which it will be referred to as from now on)." .. im guessing this is saying create a folder on my windows c: drive ? [08:53] but is it reasonable to take 5 minutes to set a timezone? [08:53] gaurav1, sd6 is not a device node. You may mean sda6 or sdb6 [08:54] i hope it wasnt trying to get internet time. i havent set up wifi. it should know that.... right? [08:54] davep, 5 minutes for a timezone? the installation procedure is more than setting up a timezone. [08:54] Seveas: yea, i mean sda6 [08:54] yes. by extrapolation, 5 minutes to set a timezone [08:54] would mean [08:54] a week [08:54] Newbie-Widget: you could have C: be somewhere else.. but proberly C: is a good guess. yes. [08:54] for the whole process :D [08:54] ^--ramble [08:54] Dr_Willis: ty :) [08:54] Dr_Willis ok, i'm one of the elite few then :p (jk) [08:54] I'm having trouble running a .bin file, I think it's because I' [08:54] davep, again, if you see something is wrong, you should file a bug. Whining in IRC channels is not helping you, us or Ubuntu in any way [08:55] ziroday: thank you [08:55] goose, chmod +x the bin file. [08:55] Newbie-Widget: i found it easier to just setup a bootale flash drive then mess with netboot/installing [08:55] it helps me a lot, actually :] [08:55] neilson: no problem, have fun! [08:55] I'm having trouble running a .bin file, I think it's because I'm on an x64 OS. do I need an additional package to install .bin files on x64? [08:55] goose: what exactly IS this .bin file? [08:55] goose, what kind of .bin file? [08:55] half life dedicated server [08:55] Dr_Willis: true, but my laptop doesnt support booting from USB :( [08:55] goose, that probably only runs on 32bit [08:55] Newbie-Widget: ewww.. [08:55] goose, chmod +x nameoffile.bin [08:55] unless theres a boot disc i can download that allows me to boot form usb ? [08:55] hey, how do I open emacs in command line, because each time I type emacs in the terminal it opens a X window [08:55] HardDisk: did that, doesn't work. [08:56] hmm [08:56] Seveas: and the other thing is that, my ubuntu used to work real slow. I thought it was because of some hardware issue. but the livecd is working pretty fast. [08:56] xemacs? [08:56] Newbie-Widget: ive only seen such things in a few specific cases. and if you had a bootabel cd.. you could just install from that anyway. [08:56] Newbie-Widget, usb creator or unetbootin [08:56] Seveas: probably. A year or so ago when I was on a different VPS I had this same error and someone told me a package to install to fix it, and it worked. Any idea what it might be, or what to search synaptic for? [08:56] gaurav1, use 'top' to find out if a process is hogging your CPU [08:56] fhenning09 doesn't work [08:57] Dr_Willis" old laptop, failing cd drive, wont read data.. can boot a cd, but copying is a no go :( [08:57] Seveas: top ? what is top ? [08:57] goose, ia32-libs maybe [08:57] not sure whats going on there [08:57] HardDisk: those programs, can i make a disc that will then allow me to boot from USB drive ? [08:57] gaurav1, it's a commandline application to see processes and their usage of cpu, memory etc. [08:57] I'll try it. thank you very much Seveas [08:57] try this : apt-get install xemacs [08:57] im trying to figure out what the setup is trying to do. top says that only xorg is wasting cpu. there is no disk activity. [08:57] fhenning09, Gonna try that [08:57] try this :sudo apt-get install xemacs [08:57] Newbie-Widget: bummer. I recall seeing somewhere a 'net-boot live cd' project. You booted the live-cd on one boxx and it would let you net-boot and install to other machines on the lan. but im not sure how active/useable it even was. [08:58] Newbie-Widget, Dr_Willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a number of different ways to install, hopefully you can find something that works [08:58] Seveas: i did try using system monitor to have a look at it. but all of it seemed fine. my system would lag mostly when i used firefox. and to be specific..facebook. but i'm using the same thing on livecd, and works just fine. [08:58] Dr_Willis: damn :S ,, if u remember, can let me know :) [08:59] check if there's a BIOS update [08:59] if you're lucky, they added usb boot support [08:59] Newbie-Widget: i must of saw it on some of the UBuntu tutorial sites. but im not evne sure of what the name was. [08:59] gaurav1, do you have greasemonkey scripts for facebook? That used to kill my system :) [08:59] gaurav1, what kind of lag? [08:59] Flannel: seen that, im a bit of a newb so hard to understand all that.. atm im trying https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows [08:59] why does it take 5 minutes to scan partitions when fdisk does it in one second? :D [08:59] gaurav1, try to disable all firefox extensions [08:59] Seveas: yes, i did have greasemonkey, but i did uninstall it. [08:59] davep: might do that :) [09:00] boomerand: everything would work very-very slow. even scroll up and down would be real slow [09:00] Newbie-Widget: it might be bookmarked at my http://delicious.com/tags/dr_willis page [09:00] gaurav1, what video card have you got? and what drivers? [09:01] boomernang: nvidia 8800, 320 mb. drivers, probably 180.xx [09:01] how can i ensure x uses 1:1 mouse speed? i.e. it doesnt interpolate anything [09:02] hmm. does no swap space cause problems on a regular basis? [09:02] davep: its proberly a good idea to make at least a small (512mb) or so swap partition. [09:02] Seveas: you rock, that was the package I needed. thank you :) [09:02] davep, hasn't here yet, although this is a desktop w/ 2GB of real RAM [09:03] that would be 1/12th of the available space [09:03] netbook with 2gb :P [09:03] thanx Doc, checking it out now, also downloading UNetbootin [09:03] davep: 5% of any ext3/4/2 is also reserved for recovery ussage. thats tuneable with the tune2fs command. [09:04] its tempting to turn that down to 1% tbh [09:05] gaurav1, what does glxinfo | grep "direct" say? [09:05] hmm. the partioner defaults to ext4. while not a bug, the extra writes can cause poor performance on slower SSDs, and less usable life. [09:05] davep: i set it to 0% on some of my drives.. but it can be bad if the fs ever gets currupted and the disk is 100% full. [09:05] davep: thers also a few forum threads on optmizations specifically for sdd based netbooks. [09:06] does it record a "last accessed" time on files? i mean, i have that turned off in windows so meh [09:06] boomernang: I'm on my livecd right now. My OS isn't booting. It gives me an error saying Busybox initramfs. On the livecd is says: direct rendering: Yes [09:07] Newbie-Widget: check out --> http://www.howtoforge.com/boot-linux-over-http-with-netboot.me [09:07] Newbie-Widget: i never did get that working however. [09:07] is there a channel to ask hal / hald questiosn? [09:07] hi folks..any idea hw to download and save a adobe flash player video file in 9.10? [09:07] Dr_Willis: thnx, ill check it out :) [09:08] i find it ironic that a thread saying to turn on noatime is using ext4 :\ [09:08] yeoman: thers dozens of firefox extensions to let you do that. [09:09] I have been trying and trying for almost a week now to install ubuntu and i just cant do it. I have tried everything that i can think of and managed to get it installed but i cant boot into it. does anybody know why it would stop after showing me the ubuntu logo and stay stuck at a black screen???? please? [09:09] echotone: so the live cd installed, then fails to boot to the desktop on first boot into the 'real' system? [09:10] Dr_Willis: I cant use a live cd. i had to make an alternate cd. [09:10] gaurav1, ok so the reason why it is fast on cd is because rendering is enabled. Did you try appending 'acpi=noacpi irqpoll' to the kernel line? as stated here - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-October/162172.html [09:10] echotone: so It installed.. then never booted into the real os then? no errores at all during the install? [09:10] the live cd gives me the same problem. it gives me the logo then black screen. [09:10] nope no errors [09:10] echotone: what video card? [09:10] nvidia 9500gt [09:11] i had it installed and working fine. until i decided to try win7 [09:11] then when i went to switch back with a clean install it wont work [09:11] echotone: thats odd.. normally nvidia works very well. You installed it the exact same way when it 'was' working? [09:11] i havent touched anything. [09:11] i am in puppy linux right now. [09:11] boomernang: no. how do i do that? and when i was on the OS i did use compiz, etc. i believe the rendering was enabled that time as well. [09:12] thanks willis...can we do that even when that net video is only a readable and not downloadable? [09:12] echotone: so claify. you had it installed and working.. then installed win7? then what. [09:12] so i hope it isnt a problem with my computer because every other os works fine. only linux [09:12] yeoman: depends on the site and how they do things.. I rarely bother with grabbing flash video. I have grabbed many from a lot of sites however. [09:13] Dr_Willis: I installed win7. I didnt like it. I put the linux disk in and it gave me said problem. [09:13] echotone: so you no longer want windows7? You mean to say.. the live cd's worked BEFOR you installed windows 7, and now the live cd's fail to work with window7 on the machine? [09:14] yes. [09:14] mine is the site Websurg and has surgery videos [09:14] i just built this machine and the first thing i did was install 9.10 [09:14] echotone: well you could use the puppy disrto to totally erase the hd. and see if the live cd works after that.. But somthing VERY weird is going on here. [09:14] it was great and i just wanted to try win 7. [09:14] bad idea [09:14] the live cd shouldnt touch the HDD [09:15] hence it should work with no win7 and with win7 equally well [09:15] I cant imagine what windows7 would do to a system. Unless it caused some hardware to fail. [09:15] i have formatted the drive so0o many times. i dont think that will do it. [09:15] does it just go black, or does it trigger a reboot? [09:16] I have ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 with all updates. It does not allow me to install any new software packages. it says "This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time." WTF === el_compA_ is now known as el_compA [09:16] echotone: there is the grub revovery options also that disable that logo and stuff. did it show any error messages? [09:16] I never got an error. it goes straight from the logo to black [09:17] echotone: but ages ago the live cd DID work (the same cd?) [09:17] yes. i have a cd from canonicle. i ordered it [09:17] and the live cd worked fine [09:18] weirdness. Try making a bootable flash drive? [09:18] i am using an xpc. and it wont boot from usb. [09:18] the alternate cd installs the system. but it gives me the same problem [09:19] sounds like its narrowed down to some video driver issue. the revovery mode however does not even get you to the console however.. thats even weirder. [09:19] booooom. installer failed [09:20] i tried the alternate cd recovery mode and have been tinkering with it for about a week now. no luck [09:20] sounds more and more like some odd hardware issue. [09:20] echotone: youve tried the memtest option to verify the ram? [09:20] yes i have. [09:20] boomernang: any luck? [09:21] i am trying to figure out how it worked and now it doesnt. [09:21] echotone: You dont hae anything odd hooked up. like a tv to the tv out? or extra monitors? [09:21] hi! [09:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653124 instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653124 say to edit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh but I don't see it on my system. has it been moved in newer versions?

[09:22] i have 2 dvi monitors [09:22] or should I create it new? [09:23] echotone: well see what video driver PuppyLinux is using. perhaps copy its xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the system. There is also the grub config files you may want to tweak them to use the 'nosplash nofb noquiet verbose' options to get maximum error messages printing out. you may at least get a console that way [09:23] okay. thank you. i will try that. [09:23] Dr_Willis: Should i only have 1 monitor plugged in? [09:23] idk why that would inhibit me from anything... [09:24] wait [09:24] the error text is [09:24] MidnightBomber: Can you please pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'? [09:24] "progress bar cancelled" [09:24] echotone: that would elinimate one potential problem,. i had issues once with a tv plugged in.. the default X was showing up on the TV. whichi dident even have turned on. :) confused things. [09:24] i'll give it a try. [09:25] where can i set my mouse sensitivity numerically? i only have a vague slider.. [09:25] echotone: thers just the 1 video card? not an onboard and a pci/pcie card in addation is there? [09:25] google tells me its an old bug [09:25] which was "fixed" [09:25] no built in graphics. i have 1 pcie card. its nvidia 9500gt [09:26] i am running a shuttle xpc sb95p v2 [09:26] Ahh a good old shuttle.. I had one of those.. till it blew up. [09:26] yeah. i got it for free from my uncle because it started smoking... === evilGUI is now known as evilGUI0001 [09:26] why does a GUI element cause an installation to fail? [09:26] seriously now. [09:26] Yep. such neat products from such an Annoying company [09:27] i suppose i could chroot to target and finish the install manually. again. -.- [09:28] davep: you re back to rambling - and no one really knows what you are actually doing. [09:28] im attempting to install kubuntu netbook (inb4 #kubuntu), and it failed citing an error message [09:29] "progress bar cancelled" [09:29] which honestly sounds like more of a "status update" than "critical error which prevents the install from continuing", but meh [09:29] Trying to install ubuntu for the first time on an XP computer, can't find any blank disks, and wubi doesn't work for it. I've already installed it on my own laptop but that had vista and I can't figure this out. Any help? [09:29] Thanks for your help everyone. i am going to try what i have been given. take care. [09:30] Beenbassion: you could make a bootable usb/flash drive and install from that if you wanted. Or are you trying to get 'wubi' to work as your goal? [09:30] it looks like it was trying to update the status of the progress bar...on a window which has closed [09:31] I'd like to get wubi to work as its what I'm most familiar with [09:31] morning all [09:31] Beenbassion: thats scary. Im not even sure if wubi supports XP or not. Or why it 'dosent work' i avoid wubi like its the plague :) [09:31] !wubi [09:31] 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. [09:31] anyone know if there is an option in Karmic to integrate thunderbird like evolution is? like make it use the im/mail icon be the default for calandars and stuff [09:32] wubi works for win2k, so it certainly should work for xp [09:32] :P Well I'm still a fairly new user and it was the easiest way for me to install it on my vista system [09:32] hello, sorry to intrude... i have some kernels showing up in grub menu list and i want to delete them (they don't work)...how do i proceed? i also wanted to keep an older version of the kernels i want to get rid of. any advice? [09:32] wubi works in Xp, it did when i installed 8.10 [09:32] wubi 9.10 doesn't work though [09:32] deokanon: you can comment out their entries in the menu.lst [09:32] might consider apt-get autoremove? that might remove obsoleted kernels [09:32] deokanon: use the package manager to remove the older kenels. or the system-> admin -> computer janitor tool. [09:32] or that [09:33] Dr_Willis' is better [09:33] cool thanks guys [09:33] there are reported bugs with Wubi/Ubuntu 9.10 breaking after kernel upgrades [09:33] deokanon: they dont take up much space - id be sure to at least leave the one you are using (duh) and one older kernel. [09:33] yea always nice to have a backup if something bricks the latest [09:33] Thers so many reported bugs with Wubi - its scary [09:34] actually i want to keep the older ones and get rid of the new ones...the new ones are buggy like crazy [09:34] well if it involves windows... [09:34] so IS there some package (or a few) that more tightly integrates thunderbird with gnome in Karmic? [09:35] but wubii is safer than a real install but it is useful only for trying out [09:35] well that's not exactly true... i want to keep one that is old...which i am currently using right now... and get rid of the other recent kernels [09:35] where is this particular chat logged? i am looking for instructiones i recieved a minute ago but i closed this window and lost it. [09:35] safest would be to test it out in 'virtualbox' or 'vmware' :) [09:35] I know wubi is bugged but I have no blank cds and the usb install seems to complicated [09:35] or some way to make Google Wave work in Evolution [09:35] where are the config files where i can edit the mouse speed? there is no xorg.conf [09:35] could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player? [09:35] Beenbassion: making a usb insaller complex? Instll/run unetbootin. Point it to the iso file and the cd.. hit 'go for it!' and get a soda... [09:36] hey just wonderin quickly, any know if there's people having issues with wifi disconnects in karmic? i thought it was just my router cus it's shitty but a friend told me there's issues [09:36] I had an issue with the other night, a reboot solved it [09:36] i know UNR 9.10 had a little trouble with my dad's wifi card but 9.04 didnt support it at all so a lil spotty was ok [09:37] hi all [09:37] Emanon: is it specifically with intermittent disconnects? [09:37] and dr_willis thanks, I'll give that a shot [09:37] nah just was a bother to get it working the first time === leon is now known as Guest69635 [09:37] Ah okay, but one it worked it was fine [09:37] what happens if i dd the entire Live-CD on the usb stick [09:37] since his motherboard likes to misrepresent the wifi cards connection status [09:37] rahilm: i doubt if it will be bootable. [09:38] say its on when its been switched off (i hate those wifi switches on new laptops) [09:38] cool thanks [09:38] rahilm: should be working [09:38] rahilm: thats why they had a netbook .img file for the last release. it MIGHT work.. try it and see I guess. [09:38] How do I do a clean install of ubuntu when I hve a dualboot? [09:38] could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player? [09:38] how may I upgrade the version of avahi on my system? [09:38] Dr_Willis, but its like ISO9660 as the first partition [09:38] is it a specific station ultra or all of em [09:39] rahilm: try it and see. I wouldbe suprised if it worked. I got grub2 set up to boot a .iso file on my flash drive. :) so i just copy the iso to my flash drive now. [09:39] el_compA_____: insert install cd, and install ubuntu on the place of the old ubuntu [09:39] cause i know i have similar problems with certain channels (di.fm chillout dreams) [09:39] I am trying to use pidgin with the bonjour protocol, my ubuntu pc doesnt get messeges from other clients [09:39] Do I need to format the ubuntu partition first? [09:39] el_compA_____: the installer can reformat the partitions [09:39] In an Ubuntu-only local network, to be able to centrally manage user accounts, can I use samba as a domain controller and have clients authenticate against it, instead of using LDAP? [09:39] I upgraded pidgin to 2.6.3 and still see the issue, so I seek to upgrade avahi . how? [09:40] alkisg: better, use samba + ldap [09:40] can ubuntu mark bad sectors on hard drive so that they are not used again ? === el_compA_____ is now known as el_compA [09:40] I'm using GRUB 1.97, any real advantage of upgrading to 2? [09:40] i'll try it tonight..(its day here now) [09:40] that would be pretty cool silv3r [09:40] alkisg: pcs are connecting to samba which is getting user-informations from ldap [09:40] Beenbassion: depends on your needs.. but proberly not at this time. [09:40] alkisg: but you can do it without ldap too of course [09:40] Ok but I tried doing it first in a virtual machine and ir wouldn't boot.... Just got a black screen like terminal [09:40] Beenbassion, many advantages but a few disadv too [09:41] iceroot: if I can do it without LDAP it'll be simpler for me. Do I need winbind on the clients? [09:41] Beenbassion: i use the grub2 feauter that lets me boot iso files to make a 'rescue/recovery' option that boots up a live cd for me. but thats just a neat trick. [09:41] could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player? [09:41] alkisg: only linux-clients? [09:41] is it ALL streams or just certain ones ultra? [09:41] iceroot: yes [09:41] Emanon: like ? [09:41] alkisg: dont need winbind [09:41] i was just saying that would be a cool utility silver [09:42] hey..anyone can provide any links where they successfully mounted an iso in grub2 [09:42] one that marked bad sectors and refused to use em again to preserve system integrity [09:42] !grub | rahilm [09:42] rahilm: 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. [09:42] !grub2 | rahilm [09:42] rahilm: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [09:42] Emanon: windows does that I guess [09:42] doesn't ubuntu do that ? [09:42] rahilm: dozens of them out . Check http://delicious.com/dr_willis/ [09:42] Flannel: will do, 1 sec [09:42] idk it might === el_compA__ is now known as el_compA [09:42] i am far from knowledgable on the subject [09:42] ya.. i meant grub2 only ..sorry [09:43] iceroot: Thanks! I may not be expressing this correctly: I want the users to be able to logon to the clients, using accounts that I've created on the server for them. Can samba handle that? [09:43] iceroot: any ideas why it didn't work when I tried it in a vm??? [09:43] hello guys, I have a question. Is it legal to activate in system/administration/hardware drivers, a driver for my ati video card? [09:43] rahilm: let me pastebin my grub config for it. :) [09:43] im here to either get thunderbird to be nicer in gnome or make evolution support google wave [09:43] alkisg: of course [09:43] alkisg: for that, there is samba [09:43] on jaunty: rarely my keyboard completely locks out(can't type anything) and I can't open menus on the windows. I think it's an issue of a control key getting stuck, but I don't know how to unstuck it [09:43] rahilm: see --> pastebinit /etc/grub.d/40_custom_boots_iso_files [09:43] http://pastebin.com/f237e002f [09:43] el_compA: no [09:43] probably ssv theres only a few countries where its even disputed i think [09:44] iceroot: so I just make samba a domain controller on the server, and install libpam-samba on the clients? [09:44] alkisg: its very easy but its getting nicer if using ldap as samba backend [09:44] Dr_Willis: Thnx i'll check it out. [09:44] u in US ssv1994? [09:44] Emanon: so, what about EU? [09:44] EU i imagine so let me see if i can find out [09:44] alkisg: yes [09:45] alkisg: but maybe have a look at ldap and libnss [09:45] ok, find out [09:45] iceroot: thanks, I'll try. LDAP looked to difficult for me to configure, so I'd like to avoid it if possible. [09:45] Dr_Willis->do i have to add anything to make it persisten or is it already? [09:46] alkisg: its not that hard but starting with samba only is a good idea. after that you can look at ldap and kerberos, which is a killer-feature [09:46] iceroot: to make the clients join the samba domain, do I need to do that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [09:47] alkisg: you are not using AD i guess [09:47] Nope === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:47] not sure if this explains a whole lot https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/sounder/2009-January/011432.html but its better than the somewhat legalese here http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?parentActiveTextDocId=2250249&ActiveTextDocId=2250425 [09:47] alkisg: have a look at a simple samba example on the net, hen learn how to use samba on server and client side [09:47] !samba | alkisg [09:47] alkisg: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [09:47] i cant find my xconf file(s). i checked in /etc/X11 and pretty much every file that has an "x" in it. How is that possible from a fresh install? I am mounting my hdd from puppy linux right now. Where should i look? [09:47] this channel is run so much better than ##linux [09:48] iceroot: my problem is user accounts, I've no problems with making and using shares.. [09:48] MidnightBomber: Alright, what package (just any example) are you trying to install? [09:48] iceroot: how can I upgrade the version of avahi in my ubuntu? [09:48] iceroot: I.e. I want to `adduser user1` on the server, and enable this user to logon from e.g. pc1 [09:48] well its easier to manage a help channel when what your helping with is fairly narrowly defined i imagine kermit [09:48] flannel: wine [09:48] alkisg: yes, that is on line in samba [09:48] MidnightBomber: alright, please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get install wine` [09:49] roger [09:49] alkisg: its very easy and a common way [09:49] hello, i have a problem with the install of ubuntu [09:49] !details | Serialtueur [09:49] Serialtueur: 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 ..." [09:50] my screen is not too large [09:50] my ubuntu is slowing down considerably, is there a shell command that displays the top memory users [09:50] yes it's arrive ^^ [09:50] rahilm: top [09:50] lol Weegee === Exaltia_ is now known as Exaltia [09:50] rahilm: top or htop :) [09:50] :) [09:50] Hey I did a backup of all my installed programs, so I have like 100+ .deb files.. How do I install them all at once rather then clicking one by one?? [09:50] the desktop of linux is too large for my screen [09:51] Flennel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/340432/ [09:51] so i can't push buttons [09:51] hiouh: use dpkg, and globbing (dpkg -i *) [09:51] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/340432/ [09:51] Dr_Willis: Where were those x files that you pointed me to? I rebooted with 1 monitor only and that wasnt the fix. I looke for the files you specified but i could not find them. [09:51] how do i use that command? [09:51] Serialtueur, linux is the kernel [09:51] hiouh: Just be careful, those deb files might be the same programs with multiple versions [09:51] ohh, right. [09:51] (if somebody can speak french, it's more easy for me ^^) [09:51] Serialtueur, YOu mean your X Resolution is to big [09:51] !fr | Serialtueur [09:51] yes [09:51] Serialtueur: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [09:51] hiouh: open up a terminal and type "dpk -i /path-to/the/files/*" [09:52] ok thanks [09:52] so i have found this marvelous irc command to test the theory of natural selection it goes like this: [09:52] /exec sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [09:52] hiouh: open up a terminal and type "dpkg -i /path-to/the/files/*" [09:52] can somebody help me? [09:52] thanks ;) [09:52] echotone: which X files? puppy linux should have them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf same location on the ubuntu hard drie also. [09:52] im downgrading from 9.10 to 9.04 [09:52] !danger [09:52] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [09:52] I have many network difficulties in 9.10 [09:52] and it seems slower than 9.04 [09:52] echotone: id be curious if any other live linux cds also work. [09:53] might consider making sure your mirrors are in your country ssv1994 that (logically anyways) should not have anything illegal in your country [09:53] Dr_Willis, there isnt an xorg.conf in ubuntu9.10 [09:53] !ask | Guest81694 [09:53] relentless: i have one. :) and i told him to copy the one from puppy linux TO the ubuntu /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:53] Guest81694: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:53] what command? lol [09:53] trying to install restricted-extras and it fails on mscorefonts trying to find a sourceforge mirror, any idea how to work around this? [09:53] Dr_Willis: I have my hdd mounted and i caant find them at that location. etc/X11/xorg.conf doesnt exist. hmmm [09:53] probably the dd command [09:54] echotone: ubuntu dosetn need one. BUt it can use one. actually - let me pastebin mine... its for nvidia cards [09:54] MidnightBomber: Alright, please pastebin this: `apt-cache policy wine wine1.2; sudo apt-get install wine1.2` [09:54] Flannel, mine is hda :p [09:54] like someone telling windows n00bs to deltree c:/ [09:54] Emanon, I live in Latvia, you think, that there is nothing illegal? [09:54] i have a handfull of live cds that i made today that i have not tried yet. I'll get back to you on that. [09:54] jmk1234: Not the ones given to you [09:54] erm [09:54] ive heard they have some odd laws ill check for latvia specifically === bob is now known as Guest64208 [09:54] hiouh: notthe ones given to you [09:54] echotone: heres the one for my dual screen setup on an nvidia 8800gtsxxx box -> http://pastebin.com/f7ba0aff6 [09:55] haha, just making sure :D [09:55] iceroot: Please excuse me for insisting, I really think my poor English doesn't help me describe my problem correctly, so let me describe it again with more words: [09:55] I have a server which has samba installed and 100 user accounts on it. One of those user accounts is "alkisg". [09:55] I also have a client, "pc1". This pc1 has only one user account, "test". The user account "alkisg" DOES NOT EXIST on pc1. Can samba help me logon USING GDM to pc1 with the alkisg account? [09:55] alkisg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:55] echotone: and heres one from nvidia 5500 machine --> http://pastebin.com/f24de3928 [09:55] echotone: but it could be that Puppuy works because its using the vesa or 'nv' video driver. not the 'nvidia' one. compare those to what puppy linux isusing. [09:56] could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player? [09:56] install nevida new version :"> [09:56] Dr_Willis: what can i do with this file? should i create the /etc/X11... file? [09:56] echotone: copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Yes... [09:56] Are there any other ways to install sound drivers without the use of alsa server? [09:56] relentless: Your on an old version of Ubuntu, you should think about upgrading [09:56] I got a spam DCC receive option from itc [09:56] echotone: or try the one that puppylinux uses.. keep a collectipon of them see if any work. [09:57] Flannel, not I set it to hda [09:57] irc* , and I hve auto accept file offers as NO [09:57] iceroot: in that scenario, I don't understand what configuration is needed on the client to validate the user account on the server, so I'd appreciate it if you could point me to a how-to. [09:57] Latvian Copyright Law in English [09:57] http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/UNTC/UNPAN018395.pdf [09:57] I can't play flash contents in firefox. [09:57] It is infact some adult movie that popped up as do u want to accept it [09:57] Dr_Willis: alright, cool. thank you. [09:57] vladimir_, did you download the plugin? [09:58] on a side note bill-barriere might consider having them use dcfldd it works faster [09:58] i've written a daemon, and an init script for it. when i use the init script it correctly executes the daemon, however as the daemon does not background itself the init script just hangs (until said damon is killed). what is the solution to this problem? [09:58] flannel: this is going to take a while, hope your here when it finishes it's download [09:58] Ahri, did you fork it? [09:58] MidnightBomber: Oh, it's downloading? That's interesting. It should've given you an error. [09:58] yes relentless and it is also enabled in add-ons. [09:58] could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player? [09:59] relentless: the init script does not fork it, no. it's using start-stop-daemon to call the daemon [09:59] what is the difference between linux-generic, and linux-image-generic? [09:59] Ahri, try putting an & after callign to daemon or rewriting the script to fork [09:59] Hi, I have the repositories as iso images on my hd and want to install from them. [09:59] Using apt-cdrom add allow only adding one image and [09:59] using loopback devices to mount the images present a problem because there are not enough loopback devices to mount all the images at once. [09:59] Is there a better way to add iso repositories? [09:59] LeonWessels: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:59] ultra_: upp your buffer size.. or rip the stream first using streamtuner/streamripper perhaps. and thats about all i can suggest - given the lack of details you give. [10:00] vladimir_, flash isnt an addon, you have to install the plugin via commandline [10:00] LeonWessels: how many images are you using anyway? [10:00] hi @ all [10:00] Dr_Willis: what is the second part of the link you gave me? I made the xorg.conf file should that second part go in the same file? [10:00] might consider going through the little bit of work to install it from the site rather than from the repo i've had better results with flash that way [10:00] relentless: ok, do you mean that the daemon should for itself? [10:00] especially on 64 bit [10:00] relentless,thnks I will try it out. [10:00] I have 11 images [10:00] echotone: they are my xorg.conf from 2 different machines. both with nvidia cards. ones an 8800 dual montor. other is a 5500 single display. [10:01] !flash [10:01] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:01] HA! [10:01] echotone: save them somwehere for examples to look at/try [10:01] !flash | vladimir_ [10:01] vladimir_: please see above [10:01] Dr_Willis, I have my DCC option as no and yet yday night I got some 10 spam of a movie through IRC DCC [10:01] Dr_Willis: thanks for clarifying. [10:01] Ahri, just at the end of the command you use to call the daemon [10:02] I had to manually click abort each time - why is this spam happening ? I can say the user names [10:02] thevishy: my client just prints a message then ignores the send. so i dont have an issue. [10:02] Emanon, are all contents on an ubuntu CD legal? [10:02] Dr_Willis, i assume this 8800 nvidea dual monitor setup is with an older version of ubuntu?

[10:03] LeonWessels: why in the world are you even needing to have that many? you cloned the full repository? [10:03] cause the cds by default dont install ANY proprietary stuff [10:03] thevishy, it does [10:03] you have to enable them intentionally [10:03] airtonix: both are using 9.10 here. [10:03] airtonix, can you tell me how to make it ? [10:03] does anyone knows how can I convert multple .html files to .txt files? [10:03] airtonix: i just install the monitors and tweak the settings to get them to the right locations. [10:03] thevishy, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34142/screenshot_003_XMKRO0.png [10:04] Dr_Willis, does nvidia-settings not do this for you?

[10:04] I have a server which has samba configured as a domain controller and 100 user accounts on it. I also have a client, "pc1", which has only one local user account. Can samba help me logon to pc1 using the user accounts of the server, or is LDAP *required* to do that? [10:04] !info html2text [10:04] html2text (source: html2text): advanced HTML to text converter.

[10:05] LeonWessels, the downloading of the repositories is just virtual, you dont nesscerily need them as an iso [10:05] LeonWessels: ive seen waysto increase the # of loopback devices you can use. but i forget where i saw that at. [10:05] its flashplugin-nonfree [10:05] vladimir_, did you read the link I sent you>? [10:05] Anyone know where I can get my hands on this pdf "Java Software Solutions?" I'd prefer to look at it before I buy the book in a month for classes get a slight jump on the material.

[10:06] Dr_Willis: I'll look some more to try to increase the number of loopback devices. [10:06] Stavros, The mic should work did you turn up the volume on the mic? [10:06] careful fhenning companies trying to be obviously up and up sometimes get pretty stern about questionable sources of stuff [10:07] Azeotrope: my guess is, you don't need just a rename, but an actual conversion? See ubottu's link 20 lines above ^^ [10:07] Ahri, i want to get rid of the html formatting. things like /b etc [10:07] its an inbuilt mic into the laptop, i looked in volume control unmuted it and turned it right up. [10:07] Azeotrope: use html2text [10:07] Stavros, Are you trying to listen to the mic as you talk in it? [10:08] no trying to get it to register any input. [10:08] try switching WHICH mic you use [10:08] tried it [10:08] unmute it [10:08] anyone know if ubuntu laptops can make a sound when volume key pressed?

Thank you anyway.

I am using Karmic, Firefox and flashplugin-nonfree from the default repositories. Flash stuff, like youtube videos, do work, but I cannot interact with many of them (not all). For example, I cannot press pause or change the volume. [10:18] relentless, thanks for the info [10:18] Dr_Willis: its totem and there are no such settings [10:18] that was happening to me too netcube [10:18] and how did you solve it, Emanon?

What are you trying to do when this happens? [10:21] Dr_willis: I added the xorg.conf file and it brought me to a command line when i reboot. A lot better than a black screen, but still not quite what im looking for haha [10:22] relentless, sound is not working [10:22] echotone: well thats narrowed it down a bit then to a potential x config ieeus [10:22] echotone: does 'startx' give any error messages?

(ifconfig eth0 down etc etc ) [10:24] EricInBNE: The language isn't necessary. And the package is libapache2-svn [10:24] in case that guy with flash issue was still on [10:24] Dr_willis: would i need to reboot to try that? and i never installed an nvidia driver. but i am okay with taking baby steps for now. [10:24] echotone: im not sure of what package name for your driver/card. does 'startx' work? that would be test #1 [10:24] airtonix: no, I haven't tried that.

[10:32] jump yes [10:32] hey any idea why grep still print out blank lines with these: grep -v "^$" textfile [10:32] ciao tutti [10:32] every line even blank ones have a start and an end of line katakbuta [10:32] katakbuta: or so i rcall from my 'using regular expressions' book. [10:33] for example when I launch firefox, the 2 first second it is unusable because it jump , same thing for program so its not linked to firefox [10:33] jean-claude, looks like this is a performance problem , try to desactivate compiz and so on, the point is that your trackpad is probably on the ps/2 bus, wich requires far less cpu to handle versus usb [10:33] Exaltia : I have already disactive compiz etc because yes its a old computer [10:33] and (depending on the computer) firefox CAN be a pretty big load [10:34] jean-claude, how many ram? [10:34] yes but when I launch firefox using the trackpad is not sow at all [10:34] Dr_Willis: any better suggestion for the grep regex [10:34] 512ddr [10:34] jean-claude, wich window manager? [10:34] thats real odd [10:34] gnome (?) [10:34] metacity then [10:34] use chromium! [10:34] i have mounted a remote drive using sshfs. When i then open e.g. a textfile in gedit and want to save it it says permission denied. How do i open it with the right priviledges? [10:35] katakbuta: ive seen that 'example' used/mentioned in several grep/regrexp tutorals/books - but Im not sure what you are trying to do.. and ive not done munch grep-fu in ages [10:35] snowboarder scroll up i answered it a while ago [10:35] Dr_Willis: startx gave me fatal error 'no screens found' parse error in line 1 section (null) in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "1" is not a valid keyword [10:35] Exaltia : I was using ubuntu 8.10 last week, same problem.

[10:37] echotone: you also realize (if network is working) you can irc from the console of the system. install weechat, or irssi [10:37] yea sorry no answer from me either jean [10:37] MidnightBomber: Your original issues stems from your use of that PPA, looks like it's got some issues with packaging. [10:37] echotone: so you used puppy - thats ok then. Not sure what that error means however. [10:37] Exaltia : ok I ll try, or use windows xp :'( [10:37] echotone: you may want to try the 2nd xorg.conf i posted. the much simpiler one. [10:37] * Exaltia dies from jean-claude answer [10:37] watch that language [10:37] Emanon, was that for me: sudo chown -hR youruser:yourgroup yourfile ? [10:37] does anyone know of any memory management software ? I notice that my comptuer is getting very slow if I keep it on for long time [10:37] may i get the link again? [10:37] yea snow [10:37] flanel: what is PPA? [10:37] echotone: that error sounds like the xorg.conf has some bad data in it however. [10:38] flannel: apt-get? [10:38] that changes the owner of the file (and any inside it) to your user of your group [10:38] echotone: like when it got cut/pasted/saved it has some extra characters/blank/non-viewable characters [10:38] so be carefull only to do it to folders you need permission to all the contents of [10:38] Dr_Willis: may i get the link again. I am going to try the same one but i am going to remove the line numbers from it. [10:38] MidnightBomber: You added a PPA (personal package archive) to your sources for something. Looks like it's got wine in it, and that version of wine is the cause of your packaging problems [10:38] can somebody help me. after update my resolution is low 640x480. i'm using ubuntu 9.10 and nvidia mx 400 graphic card [10:38] echotone: Line Numbers? egads. :) thats the issue.. the pastebin sites have links to download the actual file.

It's under the third party repositories robably. [10:40] must be i mean [10:40] Dr_Willis: okay so i'll try and fix that. Thank you. [10:41] Emanon, do you think it would be an idea to go to the server and cmod it? [10:41] idk [10:41] Dr_Willis: what does this regex match: ^.$ [10:41] pc-destop: where you using the 3d proprietary driver [10:41] i just know that when i need a file and i dont own it i chown it [10:41] surmandal, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils [10:41] no rhyme intended [10:42] iflema, what do you mean with where? [10:42] So, two questions, first this one. Yesterday I installed ubuntu for my first time (also linux for my first time), i've let the installer make the partitions automatically. Now I can only boot windows from dev/sda2 instead of dev/sda1, can this be possible? [10:42] katakbuta: no idea. id have to reread my regrex books - i think it would match 1 character on a line. and thats it. [10:42] Hi guys I notice that Mem: 500120 492460 7660 my ram is fully used though I dont have too many software runnung [10:42] Emanon, what does it mean to chown it? [10:42] any idea how can I clear up memory [10:42] katakbuta: <1 and only 1 character> [10:42] change ownership [10:42] and gratz on trying us out wvd [10:43] Emanon: I want to be asap gone from windows :-) [10:43] when you auto-partitioned it wvd it resized windows and put ubuntu before it in the partition order [10:43] k [10:43] Emanon, this file is residing on another server...So the owner is the user on that server. Might that be the cause? [10:43] yea [10:43] you cant chown a file if your not root of the box it resides on [10:44] Second question: Ubuntu doesn't reconigze my internet connection. My internet setup is like this: We got a router, and our main computer just has a wireless connection. This computer has some small thing with an antenna plugged into the USB-port. Why doesn't Ubuntu reconigze my connection? [10:44] i have problems with video playback, the image is very "pixilated" it's like the video resc is very low, how can i fix this ? [10:44] might consider copying it to a local directory and chowning it there [10:44] or becoming root of the server [10:44] linux sometimes has issue with wifi dongles [10:44] what is the brand/model of the dongle? [10:44] thats the antenna thing [10:45] !prefix | Emanon [10:45] Emanon: 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 :) [10:45] relentless, after that, do i need to anything ..? [10:45] sorry oCean your right [10:45] I have remove the previous packages and re install it [10:45] that was for wvd (the dongle comment) [10:45] Emanon, How do i get to become root of the server? [10:45] you would have to talk to its admin Snow i doubt its gonna happen [10:45] surmandal, did it install? [10:46] yes [10:46] Emanon: Ehhm, can I see it on the antenna thing? [10:46] might consider just copying the file to local directory where you ARE root and changing the ownership there [10:46] should be able too [10:46] to [10:46] relentless, reinstall [10:46] wvd [10:46] Siemens gigaset usb apadtar 108 << Emanon [10:46] surmandal, at most maybe a reboot. [10:46] Emanon, hehe yes thats not gonna happen :) [10:46] k let me check for issues with that model [10:46] slve [10:47] relentless, ok let me reboot the machine [10:47] Emanon: Don't I have to tell Ubuntu somehow that I'm using that kind of internet? [10:47] pc-destop: oh... mx 400 [10:47] wvd i imagine so checking online now [10:48] expert install is still bugged, grub tries to install from inside a chroot with no dev files [10:48] >:| [10:48] wvd what version of ubuntu? [10:48] iflema, nvidia geforce2 mx400 [10:49] Emanon: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download - 9.10 32 bit [10:49] k desktop 9.10 32 bit thanks [10:50] wvd you know where your network icon is in the system tray?

[10:53] if you need a driver (provided your repositories have one) an icon should appear pretty soon in the system tray telling you proprietary drivers are available (thats how it worked for me anyways) [10:54] relentless, I tried to upgrading the alsa driver [10:54] relentless, finally, after reinstalling the driver it works [10:54] relentless, really appreciated [10:54] surmandal, You didnt have the driver installed...

How can i change it to e.g. 4 desktops so that i can make the rotating cube? [11:02] Dr_Willis, no file as big as 4gb. many small files [11:03] horizontal size=4 [11:03] iflema, it think this is the problem, I have only 10904 free memory [11:03] wers: prboberly dosent matter then.

[11:06] pc-destop: yep === Chiron is now known as Heretic [11:06] hi all [11:06] Guest23123 http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html ? [11:06] hmm maybe my problem isd imposible to repair [11:06] relentless, can I ask another question [11:06] pc-destop: so your saying its for sure smoother at lower res [11:06] * alkisg has a celeron @700 and an nvidia mx 4000 and it works just fine :) [11:06] iflema, http://paste.ubuntu.com/340461/ [11:07] iflema, let me try again [11:07] actually gnome uses slightly less resources than kde4 i think [11:07] not sure though [11:07] surmandal, sure :D [11:07] Emanon: I tried that, but it is not working [11:07] 4000 [11:07] 400 [11:07] relentless, my arbicam is also not working properly [11:08] pc-destop: so what is your problem? you can't change the resolution? [11:08] relentless, picture is Not clear, any idea [11:08] surmandal, like fuzzy not cleaR? [11:08] relentless, yes [11:08] I use chees [11:08] Emanon: synclient reports that only 1 finger is on the TP when I have 2 on there [11:08] alkisg, i can chaneg the resolution, but the problem is that the bigger the resolution is, the slower it is working [11:08] wers: vfat is the windows 'fat' filesystem name [11:08] Emanon: I enabled shmconfig as detailed on that page [11:09] pc-destop: and that wasn't the case before? [11:09] not sure just pointed to the first thing i found that made sense [11:09] surmandal, you need to buy a new cam. [11:09] relentless, :D [11:09] hello [11:09] maybe one of the others here knows more than me (almost undoubtedly) [11:09] iflema, yes, at lower resolutions, it is working better. i can see significant changes between 1024 nad 640 resolution [11:09] relentless, but this is working fine in M$ OS [11:09] i was wondering, is there anyway of installing an SSH server without having a fix ip ? [11:10] surmandal, Does it come up when you plug it in? [11:10] pc-destop: hard to say.... youve low specs but not that low... [11:10] provided you know the ip of the server whatever it is [11:10] squelos: ? what's wrong with sudo apt-get install openssh-server ? [11:10] squelos: use dyndns, no-ip-account [11:10] hello can anyone tell me on lvm2 how to deternine amount of free space available on a file system inside an lvm logical volume? === Solomon-Dean is now known as Admiral-Awesome [11:10] Dr_Willis, got it. thanks :D [11:10] relentless, its inbuild, came with acer 5610, 1.3 mega Pix [11:11] pc-destop: and before update no dramas.... smooth at high res. yes? [11:11] alkisg, before it was the problem, that i couldn't change resolutions, so i updated drivers, and now i can change resolution. but now i am having another problem. at higher resolutions computer is woking slower ( from graphical view) [11:11] lvdisplay? [11:11] iflema, no it was the same, but i didn't notice this problem, bacause i newer tried low resolution [11:11] pc-destop: that's normal, your pc is slow... the higher the resolution is , the more data that needs to be transferred [11:11] alkisg : sorry i was inprecise. llutz understood me. Dyndns, ok, ill look it out. Fucking french Internet providers not proposing fix ip adresses anymore .../. [11:11] surmandal, did you try cleaning it? [11:12] relentless, yes, it works perfectly in M$ [11:12] squelos: there are lots of those services, start an account and you'll be able to connect ip-independent [11:12] pc-destop: try the nv driver [11:13] hey you guy's, I have an external audio card Creative Audigy 2 NX but I can't get sound out of it. The pulseaudio volume meter tells me otherwise. Any ideas? [11:13] alkisg, but is there any way to lower all the graphical details to minimum. and yes i agree with that, but it shouldn't be such a problem. i have a 32 mb graphic card, seleron 700mhz, 380 MB ram [11:13] Emanon it doesnt tell me the amount of space left on the file system that resides inside the logical volume [11:15] llutz : do you know any free dyndns services ? [11:15] pc-destop: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings, sudo nvidia-settings, set and save = generate an xorg.conf and change nvidia to nv [11:15] um go to the top level directory on the logical volume right click select properties [11:15] squelos: no-ip.com [11:15] it should show free space [11:16] hopefully* [11:16] Emanon: you heard about the rapper emanon?

[11:18] I am running a program called SAS which consists of a lot of windows. Is it possible to make a panel and put all the tabs which is now in the lower panel corresponding to the SAS windows into this new panel? [11:19] pc-destop: it isn't about the graphics detail, even if you just try to scroll a window it's slow at those specs. I have a celeron 700 MHz, 128 Mb nvidia graphics card and 768 MB RAM. [11:19] Snowboarder might consider the compiz addon group and tab windows [11:19] Snowboarder: you could move them all to a second desktop and tell the 'task manager' to only show windows on the current desktop. as a way [11:19] he already has compiz going might as well use it [11:20] read the keybindings for group and tab windows if you have questions let me know i LOVE that plugin [11:20] If you can ever figure out 1/2 the features of compiz... === test is now known as Guest99099 [11:20] i know that one quite well [11:20] alkisg, so the only solution is the face the facts, that this cannot be changed or better modified [11:20] how do you boot the cd when grub fails the install? [11:21] pc-destop: well I can't see your computer, but judging from mine, yes, that's as fast as it can go. You are able to watch a video, right? (not on youtube...) [11:21] Guest99099: pop in the cd.. power up. [11:22] pc-destop: yes nvidia to nv [11:22] what app would you recommend for transferring a lot of data? taking years on nautilus and it's getting slower as time passes [11:22] I get 'error file not found' booting the cd [11:22] wers locally or to another computer? [11:23] Emanon, to a usb hard drive [11:23] then i get the grub rescue menu [11:23] pc-destop: log out and back in agin to test [11:23] might consider moving it manually? copy (cp file destination) or move (mv file destination) [11:23] alkisg, yes divx movies are playing fine [11:23] wers, man scp [11:23] wers, man tar [11:23] skip the interface altogether and do it commandline [11:24] pc-destop: yeah then changing to nv would only make it worse === mrnicelupe is now known as sAnta89_ [11:24] grub2's config file seems to not want to be edited.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:26] davep: then rerun update-grub [11:26] pc-destop: No. That's a *CPU* problem, not a graphics card problem. 700Mhz isn't enough for DVD playback. [11:26] oh anyone know how to kill that drum sound when your ubuntu box hits the login screen i hate OS sounds [11:26] iflema, thanks for helping my, but alksig said that he has the same problems but with a little faster computer. so changing to nv wonpt fix this. it just old hardware problem :D === olli is now known as Olli|duschen [11:27] i stopped the ones once im logged in but i dont know how to stop that one on the login screen [11:27] yes, it's just restarted after the install hard to believe that it's busted now [11:27] alkisg, ok, thanks, then i'll only watch full HD quality :D. just kidding :D [11:27] pc-destop: true that sort of....

[11:49] hccmb: sudo nvidia-settings [11:49] lovely. kde network manager allows me to add a wireless connection [11:49] provided it recognizes the hardware [11:49] but not to tell it to connect. [11:49] wvd [11:49] anyone know how? [11:49] rek: what filesysem does fdisk -l say it is.. -t vfat ==> option for fat32 [11:50] no no just before [11:50] davep, have you tried ifconfig ? [11:50] Emanon: What? [11:50] >.< [11:50] it doesn't tell me anything extra in the terminal [11:50] Emanon: Ah, where can I see that? [11:50] i dont want to jump back to the command line [11:50] from a gui tool [11:50] airtonix, there is a default, mercurial and railsapp file under sites-available [11:50] no dirs [11:50] Right click, or left click on the icon.. normally has a menu, or 2 differnt menuss. [11:50] i just cant believe apache config is so different from fedora to ubuntu [11:50] EricServerBox, ok, try putting your authentication directives in the default file [11:51] airtonix, that sounds sensibel [11:51] System>Administration>Network Connections perhaps wvd [11:51] wait, network connections adds them [11:51] k [11:51] Dr_Willis: i must query you [11:51] *trying [11:51] knetworkmanager actually connects [11:51] too bad it isnt working. [11:51] hello, is it normal that, if one uses the alt-key as the third-level-activator, none of the systems alt-key-combinations (to change to another TTY for example) are working anymore? [11:51] rek: im in and out and baby sitting.. so i may vanish at any time :) [11:51] EricServerBox, but also , have a look at both those other ones to make sure that the directories you want to protect via authentication will actually be handled by the default file ... [11:52] EricServerBox, (i suspect it will ) [11:52] he should really set up virtualbox on the windows side reading from the partition that is the ubuntu side so he doesnt have to keep logging off to try new things [11:52] going for a reboot to see if it worked [11:52] hmm is there really no way to enlarge the task panel, or make a new panel where i can have some of the tasks stored or something similar? [11:52] see you later ... [11:53] Emanon, would be good if you could point him to a step by step guide that outlines how to achieve that [11:53] hello , what is difference of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [11:53] hes offline right now [11:54] airtonix, thanks that worked. what a joke tho lol [11:54] enlarge the bar the task panel is on by right clicking selecting properties and changing the size [11:54] EricServerBox, :) [11:54] make a new bar just for it by right clicking the panel and selecting new panel [11:55] right click new panel select add to panel and find the task panel plugin [11:55] thank buddah. may buddah bless you [11:55] alkisg, i dissabled rendering for fonts and used DPI, and it is working faster. but fonts are not so smooth [11:55] Emanon, whoa re you conversing with ? [11:55] wvd [11:55] anyone tell me, how can i change resolution of sis672 to 1280x800 [11:56] he rebooted to his ubuntu side to try to fix a wifi issue [11:56] you mean the wvd that isn't online ? [11:56] kde fail [11:56] the firefox button installs firefox [11:56] and doesnt launch it [11:56] even after it has installed. [11:56] doesnt seem to be airtonix [11:56] one elow it is right one [11:57] hello to all, can someone help me with modifying grub2 under ubuntu 9.10, or event pointing me out to a gui application at least... [11:57] My laptop use sis672 chipset, How can i change the resolution.... [11:57] So I did System>Adminstration>Hardware Drivers, it searched, and it told "No propriatiry hardwire drivers found for....", does this mean I don't have internet because of this? [11:57] Hi, I want to add proprietary drivers, but when I open System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, all it says is "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [11:57] michael007: sis and linux not so friendly... hang on [11:57] yeah I suppose I'm gonna try Gnome and see how much easier it is to tinker with theming [11:58] iflema, so, is there any way? [11:58] Emanon, btw how do you mount a live partition under vbox ? [11:58] oh, look, wvd has the same problem:) [11:58] which is a god application for xubuntu server desktop viewer [11:58] not sure how to do it in windows but i know you can do it in linux [11:58] almart02: you also have problem connecting to the internet? [11:58] yeah [11:58] Rip it into an ISO so its not as slow then point your virtual drive to the iso [11:58] I can't install the wireless drivers [11:59] michael007: maybe... not official as far i know. [11:59] and when I plug in the network cable nothing happens [11:59] almart02: it doesn't reconigze my internet.. do you also use an adapter? [11:59] hello to all, can someone help me with modifying grub2 under ubuntu 9.10, or event pointing me out to a gui application at least... [11:59] built in laptop card [11:59] Emanon, i assume you're using some kind of trickery to get it to appear as a file (since in the virtual media manager I only see options to insert iso or disk image files) [11:59] ah, wlel i got a siemens gigaset usb adapter 108. [11:59] DEViUS: no gui tool for it yet that ive seen. [11:59] yea sec ill get you a link airtonix [11:59] iflema, i get a driver from intel site. but i cant make it use, because there is not a xorg.conf file. [11:59] Dr_Willis: can u help me modify it? [11:59] DEViUS: edit the proper /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/* files and rerun update-grub see the Grub2 wiki page [12:00] !grub2 | DEViUS [12:00] DEViUS: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [12:00] Does Ubuntu no longer use Usplash during boot? If I change the Usplash screen, will it have any [visible] effect? [12:00] michael007: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1245831 [12:00] hi guys :) [12:00] Dr_Willis: ok [12:00] hello. kernels after 2.6.27-14-generic does not work, freezs, hang before login. there is ubuntu 9.04 . where to report bug? in launchpad for ubuntu report link lead to help page, to use programs bug-report etc [12:00] chu: usplash is getting phased out for the next release I hear also. personally I disable the thing. [12:01] iflema, thank you. [12:01] michael007: balpark... what version you on? [12:01] airtonix http://blarts.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/how-to-run-virtualbox-using-a-physical-partition-using-ubuntu-feisty-fawn/ [12:01] Emanon, where do i find the task panel plugin? [12:01] iflema, 9.10 [12:01] Just don't particularly like the Ubuntu logo :p There's this fingerprint Usplash theme that looked kinda cool, but oh well, kinda pointless anyway :p [12:02] Dr_Willis: i dont know what to do, its very confusing [12:02] So, what's the Ubuntu equivalent called anyway? [12:02] So I did System>Adminstration>Hardware Drivers, it searched, and it told "No propriatiry hardwire drivers found for....", does this mean I don't have internet because of this? Also, I got a KPN Experia box, and I got an adapter plugged in (siemens gigaset usb adapter 108) [12:02] DEViUS: i dont know whaat you are trying to do.. thats even more confuseing. [12:02] right click on panel select add to panel type win into the search box theres 3 options for different task managers [12:02] not task managers sorry [12:02] task panels [12:03] hi! [12:03] not sure how to make that particular dongle work sorry for the wasted effort wvd [12:03] Dr_Willis: i just want to remove 3 old entries, and rename the rest, thats all [12:03] DEViUS: what old entries? [12:03] How is the name of the program that helps you after a key-signing party by recognizing the 2d-barcode (data-matrix-code) to identify the keys you got? [12:03] Emanon: How should I search further? [12:03] perhaps search the model of the device +linux on google? [12:04] xsplash apparantly [12:04] Emanon, yes...which one of the 3 is the correct? [12:04] Dr_Willis: there are old startup OS entries that dont exist anymore, so i want to delete them [12:04] Emanon, i would guess Window List [12:04] DEViUS: in theory if you run 'sudo update-grub' it should rscan/remove/add any new/changed os's it finds or fails to find [12:04] depends on whether you want window picker window selector or window list [12:04] try em out see which one you like [12:04] Ah, this guide tells me, you can also setup a network using a wizard, how? [12:05] DEViUS: thats if you truely are using grub2. :) [12:05] Dr_Willis: i am, thats what comes with ubuntu 9.10 [12:05] Snowboarder the one in UNR is window picker the one in regular is window selector i think [12:05] I have a HP laptop with Ubuntu, and I was hoping to be able to plug in a keyboard and have it work immediately. I did and it didn't, although the keyboard LEDs flashed briefly. [12:05] DEViUS: 9.10 clean install = grub2 for default. try reruning 'update-grub' and see what it does. [12:05] err regular ubuntu is window list sorry [12:06] hello. I have problems with several alt-key-combinations not working. For example "ctrl+alt+fn" does not switch to a TTY. If I am in a bash-window and type "ctrl-alt-f1" for example, it prints out ";7P" [12:06] Dr_Willis: it says: Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N) ...wat shud i do ? [12:06] hello. kernels after 2.6.27-14-generic does not work, freeze, hang before login. this is ubuntu 9.04 and athlon ... 1700 .... where to report bug? in launchpad for ubuntu report link lead to help page, to use programs bug-report etc [12:06] guys do somebody know how to set delay for startup application? [12:06] DEViUS: some how you got grub1 and grub2 mixxed in together.. grub2 does NOT use menu.lst perhaps try running 'sudo update-grub2' [12:07] Dr_Willis: command not found, and btw this is a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 [12:07] DEViUS: you got somthing very WEIRD going on then. [12:07] wvd make sure you get the right help for the right version of ubuntu and all http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Siemens+Gigaset+USB+108+%22%22Ubuntu+9.10%22&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&hs=bjn&filter=0 [12:07] Dr_Willis: =S so wat do i do ? [12:08] qdb: What is system->preferences->appearance->visual effects set to? [12:08] Emanon, ahaa i see....okay so it then lists all the running tasks in the panel [12:08] DEViUS: what does 'lsb_release -a' say? [12:08] Emanon: My network driver isn't supported for linux... [12:08] Emanon: going to try it with nsidwrapper [12:08] no effect [12:08] penthief [12:08] Emanon, but is there a way to split up the tasks, so that some are shown in one panel, and others are shown in others? [12:08] then get ndisgtk if you dont already have it its rather nicer than by command line [12:09] not sure Snowboarder, not that i've found [12:09] Dr_Willis: no lsb modules are available.....ubuntu 9.10 ....9.10.....karmic [12:09] hi, how do I add proprietary drivers (9.1) [12:09] DEViUS: then you some how managed to install grub1 and remove grub2 it seems [12:09] qdb: I had a freeze problem that was fixed by setting it to extra. (Believe it or not). This might work for you. Older kernels were fine for me too. [12:09] as in MP3 and such eiow? [12:09] DEViUS: perhaps reinsstall the grub-pc package [12:09] Dr_Willis: ok [12:09] no, like hardware drivers [12:10] System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [12:10] I know there is a tool, but it's empty when I open it, and I can't see where to add new ones [12:10] yeah, that one [12:10] penthief, i think i cannot to set it extra because have not installed video driver [12:10] cannot set [12:11] then you might want to make sure that proprietary repositories are permitted in your synaptic repositories menu [12:11] Dr_Willis: done, now can i rename the entries listed on startup? [12:11] DEViUS: rerun Update-grub it does it automatically [12:11] eiow: drivers for video/graphics card(s)? [12:12] yeah [12:12] go to synaptic and click settings at the top click repositories and check proprietary device drivers hit ok then hit reload then try the hardware thing again [12:12] @Emanon It was checked, but needed to be updated, Ill do that [12:12] qdb: I don't know about that. It was compiz trying to make whizzy effects with the visual effects set to normal that was causing my problem. I also found it would not freeze by uninstalling compiz completely, temporarily. [12:12] eiow: whats ya card type/manufacturer [12:12] not sure if it will help but heres hoping [12:12] but damn...i must say....ubunto is really waaay better than windows....its just so much more integrated and has so much more features...its really nice [12:12] penthief, thank you , may be i have not it installed already, i will check [12:12] Dr_Willis: i want to give them the name i want instead of "Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1" just "Windows 7" [12:13] DEViUS: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 has was to change the titles [12:13] @iflema It's NVIDIA, but there are other proprietary drivers I need as well (like wireless), but I just can't figure out how to use this Hardware Drivers tool [12:13] DEViUS: then you are back to editing the grub config files and reruning update-grub [12:13] I have a strange problem: I am on a constrained device and a attempt to install a large package failed because there are no more space on /. I am now trying to recover on this. I am trying to remove the package with sudo apt-get purge package and sudo dpkg -P package but *it seems to need to write on / even for removing a package, even if it's broken because of no space on /* [12:13] the error is dpkg: failed to write status record about `libclutter-1.0-0' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device === ubuntu is now known as EliasAmaral [12:13] eiow: ok [12:13] DEViUS: ive no idea how you managed to get grub1 and 2 messed up. but hopeflly you are using grub2 now [12:14] I could just delete a file, or maybe mount /var/lib/dpkg on a ramdisk, but.. isn't this a severe design flaw of dpkg? or, maybe, i don't know the correct switch :) [12:14] Anyone know what tool I should use for managing multiple keyboards? [12:14] Dr_Willis: i hope so [12:14] woodbj: thanx ill check it [12:15] http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/ perhaps pentheif? [12:15] hi everyone [12:15] hello leee [12:15] EliasAmaral: I would not expect anything to work correctly if your root filesystem is out of space. [12:16] anyone know how to make a ASCII art work [12:16] Actually, I just trying to work out why plugging an external keyboard into my laptop does not work. [12:16] pj, I would; linux (the set of oses based on linux, including gnu/linux and others) are usually fairly resilient [12:16] might consider freeing space by temporarily moving some large unnecessary file to another medium (jump drive whatever) [12:16] leee: Emacs has an artist-mode [12:16] pj, actually, i have spend some days with absolutely no write space at all *and the system is performing great* [12:17] what should i do? [12:17] Does ubuntu server generally run a more recent Xen kernel than centos server runs? [12:17] EliasAmaral: well, I can cite at least a few reasons why it isn't a good idea to run a system with little or no free space. [12:17] Can I install ndiswrapper without using sudo apt-get? I need it but I don't have internet.. [12:17] leee: install emacs, then learn emacs a bit, then type M-x artist-mode. You can use the mouse and everything, and there may be a tutorial somewhere. apt-get install emacs [12:18] yea grab the .deb from the site on the windows side install it on the linux side [12:18] pj, you have a point, but the system tools should work under constrained environments whenever possible [12:18] penthief, http://xkcd.com/378/ [12:18] EliasAmaral: it may continue to run, but seemingly random things will fail at in-opportune times. [12:18] !offline > wvd [12:18] wvd, please see my private message [12:18] !wifi > wvd [12:18] ok , i'll try [12:19] * c0p3rn1c wonders when the MOTU will release gnome-do [12:19] pj, no; one may guarantee that, if only some class of tools are used, nothing will fail. (but you have a point; many tools are truly useless without space on /tmp or /var) [12:20] oops [12:20] * c0p3rn1c wonders when the MOTU will release gnome-do 0.8.3 [12:20] pj, i am only trying to say that i would expect that, in this particular case, it's inappropriate for dpkg to misbehave like that [12:20] probably EliasAmaral [12:21] but unless you feel like rewriting it its the way it is for now [12:21] EliasAmaral: well regardless of what you think it should do, the package manager is not running for you with no free space on the filesystem and the simple solution is to free up a bit of space for it. Considering that the package management is actually quite a complex system that has to compare dependancies of hundreds of packages to determine what has to be done it is not surprising that it is refusing to run in that situation ... and I wo [12:21] uld not consider it to be a bug either, because it is not a normal running scenario to add or remove packages. [12:21] How can I disable a keyboard (and enable another keyboard)? [12:22] unplug one plug in other? [12:22] penthief: plug'n'play [12:23] idk about switching keyboards, i bought the right one the first time :-) [12:23] Emanon: only I would not recommend unplugging or plugging in a PS2 connector while the system is running, you're ok hot swapping a USB keyboard, though. [12:23] http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-diNovo-Edge-Keyboard-Black/dp/B000J43HJ8 [12:23] Emanon, iflema: Plug and play is not working for some reason, and I came across a post which suggested unplugging another keyboard. I can't do that because it is my laptop keyboard. [12:23] s/another/the other [12:24] ahh bummer idk then pen [12:24] pj, the reason it is complaining is not because it have to compare dependencies; is that because it, by default, must write on /var/lib/dpkg/status in order to delete something. (maybe it have something to do with being able to recover later). handling with the dependency tree is usually done in memory [12:24] penthief: just plug in another and thats it.... they both do.. [12:24] then work within the limits set or change the limits EliasAmaral [12:24] the same [12:24] EliasAmaral: be that as it may, it is what it is. [12:25] EliasAmaral: is it so hard to delete some odd file somewhere? [12:25] i have no problem with this being the default; i just want to find a switch to make it work /my way/, because i am likely right now to have this problem in the future [12:25] not sure about the rest of the folks here but im not too handy in C so i can't fix that problem [12:25] (or i might give up ubuntu for this use case) [12:25] hi guys , i have a problem , i use ubuntu 9.10 and i have problems whit my webcam a4tech viewcam pro [12:25] pj, no, but it is happening all the time since I... am without a hard drive, booting from cdrom, :) [12:26] or you might just partition directories that ALWAYS need spare space separately so they have the space they need [12:26] ops. [12:26] booting from usb! [12:26] I guess it's just a compatability problem them. I'm trying several PS/2 keyboards, through a PS/2->USB adapter into a HP Compaq 6720s running Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm going to give up soon. [12:26] EliasAmaral: EliasAmaral ahhh, I see, well, USB should have some free space on it, or set a ramdisk. [12:26] live or what Eli? === lzrdking is now known as LizardK|ng [12:27] pj, yeah, i use ramdisks all the time. did you know that when the system go out of ram, it kills randoms apps/ [12:27] Elias : is that a RAM manager ? [12:27] i tried to made an ASCII art work with GIMP,but the pic is too big to view,what should i do [12:27] EliasAmaral: well, technically not *random* but yes. [12:27] pj, it's not wise to have a huge ramdisk; even gnome-session might be killed (interestingly, the X will never be killed, maybe because it is from root) [12:27] might just consider repartitioning to allow there to be room in necessary directories without being a hassle to /home and such [12:28] pj, not random? then how it is picked? :) [12:28] for me seems to be is always the one that is eating more ram [12:28] I just installed kaola clean, just kept /home, but I have no sound, anyone knows why ? [12:28] but other times, seems to be random [12:28] (happened a lot of time..) [12:28] EliasAmaral: what happens is that an application dies when it tries to request more RAM and the request is refused by the OS. [12:28] my ubuntu becomes slow after idling for night time - i suspects its cause of RAM problems , does anyone know what utility I can use to handle this' === test is now known as Guest44797 [12:28] P_Kable some of the old Configs in /home might be screwing things up [12:29] hi,all, is anyone experience on command ipcs? [12:29] In Ubuntu 9.10, how can I edit modify the Gnome menu "Resources"? (the one before "System") [12:29] thevishy: system -> administration -> system monitor shows your ram is being fully used? [12:29] Emanon, rm -rfv wichfolder to fix it ? [12:29] Winson: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [12:29] pj, using the interfaces I know (malloc() and derivatives), the application will only receive a null pointer, and may continue to run if they wish [12:29] that's wrong? [12:29] jrib, total used free shared buffers cached [12:29] Mem: 500120 470592 29528 0 4720 158220 [12:30] its a 512 MB RAM [12:30] P_Kable, before you go using that < locate pusle-audio conf ifles in your home folder [12:30] might search for anything with alsa or pulse in it (but that might be a bad idea maybe wait for someone more experienced) [12:30] thevishy: so now go see what is using all the ram [12:30] P_Kable, or alsa conf files [12:30] EliasAmaral: yes, but most won't, and some are poorly coded to the point where they will try to reference that pointer and die that way. [12:30] thevishy, it that means 512 MB RAM is share memory? [12:30] P_Kable, then back them up and try running system without them [12:30] In Ubuntu 9.10, how can I edit modify the Gnome menu "Resources"? (the one before "System") [12:31] P_Kable, if you dont want to remove files yet, then you can achieve the same effect by creating a new user and logging in with that user [12:31] Not sure if its a share memory , how do I check that ? Winson . jrib no program is using RAM , i just have a browser and sme couple of other software running nothing heavy but its dead slow [12:31] pj, but I receive messages on dmesg saying the kernel killed an app because of memory, I think that if the kernel don't have enough space for its own structures it kills random apps [12:32] ivanatwork, you need ot be more descriptive (because some of that menu is constructed from nautlus bookmarks) [12:32] EliasAmaral: possibly, I don't know for sure. [12:32] thevishy: did you use System Monitor? [12:32] yeah I have the gnome system monitor running [12:32] thevishy: and you sorted my memory usage? [12:33] airtonix, if I click with the right mouse button, I can modify the menus. But "Risorse" (I mean "Resources") doesn't appear. I need to know a way to modify it [12:33] EliasAmaral: at any rate, if you're having issues with file space and memory, then maybe you should either upgrade your hardware or consider using a more lightweight distribution than ubuntu. [12:33] yeah I sorted I can see a max of 100 MB being used - thats it jrib [12:33] thevishy: by...? [12:33] when i try to start a video call whit skype i can not receive any picture .... [12:33] Chrome , Music Player Ubuntu Software Manager Program [12:34] jeno make sure you set the video source to whatever your camera is [12:34] while you using the command 'ipcs -m' [12:34] ivanatwork, because its behaviour ( and its contents ) are hardcoded. the bookmarks submenu however is created from bookmarks you create within nautilus [12:34] be it /dev/video or whatever === Mud is now known as Guest77207 [12:35] might wanna see where the type of camera you use (brand/model) shows up at /dev/ wise [12:35] what is the Tap name 'Key'? [12:35] airtonix, I'm searching a way to add another directory to it [12:35] jrib, those are the software , nothing heavy really === Guest77207 is now known as Mud [12:36] Hi new to all this and I need help installing a printer/scanner [12:36] the model is viewcam pro [12:37] sorry ubuntu logged me out for no apparent reason [12:37] what i should type to find the model ? [12:37] frikkerman, I installed my printer successfully. Just joking... tell me ;) [12:38] sleepy [12:38] irc://irc.chronictracker.com/CT [12:39] I can only scan single page documents and as soon as I choose multipage option xsane close [12:39] viewcam pro ubuntu perhaps? === kb is now known as Guest3217 [12:40] how does the menu "Resources" work? I need to add more entries. [12:41] do u feel ur linux system is fast ? [12:41] Emanon, how can i find the model in ubuntu , what i should type to find the model ? [12:41] thevishy: I run a quad screen system running more stuff than i can count, and i only seem to get my CPU up to ~40% [12:41] thevishy: so yea, fast ;) [12:42] i have network manager on ubuntu moblin remix, i am unable to reconfigure it, i want to use wicd, any links to downloading it ? [12:42] google the model/manufacturer and ubuntu === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [12:42] lol [12:42] CShadowRun, lucky u :) I am using a old system with 512 MB Ram and things are not so smooth ! [12:42] jeno_, lsmod &&lspci [12:42] I guess somethin related to memory management [12:42] thevishy: should be, my dad has a p4 2ghz with 512mb ram and it's smooth [12:43] he constantly rambles on about how fast it boots. [12:43] ohhh thats surprising , mine takes near to a minute to boot [12:43] depends what services you keep running [12:43] how can I modify the Gnome menu "Resources"? [12:43] i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 with wubi, its pretty good, it takes around 20-30 seconds to start up :D [12:44] pj, yeah. also i will have some new hardware in some days that will enable me to continue using ubuntu (at least if I can manage to fix all the random pulseaudio bugs, or at least disable it). by now i think i will install.. lfs, that was something I wanted to do a long time ago and now seems adequate [12:44] ivanatwork: are you able to do so by right clicking on the ubuntu icon and selecting "edit menu"? [12:45] hey dudes, I am stuck asking "give root password for maintenance" but I do not know ubuntu had root passwd [12:45] jrib, are u aware of any memory management software like FREE XP ? in windows [12:45] jrib, I see the other two menus but not "Resources". That must be a special entry :( [12:45] any help???? [12:45] good luck on lfs ive wanted to do that for a while [12:45] ashzilla, !root [12:45] relentless, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/340512/ [12:45] ashzilla: its the furst users password [12:45] !root , ashzilla [12:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:45] ashzilla: the one you use with sudo [12:45] !root [12:45] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:45] but then everyone will know by looking at how well my computer runs that im a virgin and always will be [12:45] can i change the skin of the ubuntu popup??? [12:46] docmax, you mean the notifcation bubble ? [12:46] thevishy: no, memory management works fine on linux... [12:46] which popup u mean the regular windows ? [12:46] airtonix, yes [12:46] okay [12:46] docmax, no you can not [12:46] you guys that password does not work I tried it [12:46] anyone know how to stop the lil drum sound when ubuntu reaches the login screen? [12:46] sure? [12:46] i find it rather annoying and its the only sound i havnt turned off yet [12:46] docmax, which is to say it is not possible at this point in time. libNotify is still a work in progress [12:46] i want white background [12:46] thevishy: you should be able to account for every mb of ram using System Monitor. My guess is your browser is hogging it, but no one should have to guess on this since you can see the numbers [12:47] jeno_, lines 41 til the end are your model numbers to your devices [12:47] anyone notice that sometimes system monitor won't shut down and you actually have to end its process using itself? [12:47] what else can I put in grub to skip fscj [12:47] fscj [12:47] fsck [12:47] isnt it rather perverse using a program to terminate itself? like forced suicide [12:47] ivanatwork: I don't even see Resources anywhere on a fresh install [12:47] I must get free [12:48] relentless, and what should i do next ? [12:48] docmax, just to clarify : youa re referring to this ? : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=icon-summary-body.png [12:48] please help me I have two .txt files containing Cd keys of windows OS and they automatically becomes locked/encrypted such that I am not able to view/upload/copy/zip/move or even open them.

Please help me here are the ss:- http://i50.tinypic.com/nw0k6w.jpg , http://i47 [12:48] jeno_, well what are you tyring to do? [12:48] docmax: notify-osd does not support themes or skins. [12:48] airtonix, exactly [12:49] i want to use my webcam in skype [12:49] ujio: gksudo nautilus, then try again [12:49] jeno_: then use it [12:49] ujio: try opening it in SU mode? [12:49] ujio mount the windows partition then in terminal sudo cp -f file destination [12:49] !root ashzilla [12:49] jeno_, ok, what is stopping you [12:49] hmm, i thought in linux you can custonmize EVERYTHING =) [12:49] docmax: sure you can [12:49] i dont know how , maybe its sound stupid ... [12:49] They are Nautilus' bookmarks. Thank you all for the help. Finally it worked [12:49] docmax: just a matter of skill [12:49] you can docmax provided you know how [12:50] dudes this mobile client does not get queries how can I skip fsck at startup [12:50] jrib, my free shows almost 27MB free though I am not using much program [12:50] ivanatwork: isn't that called "Places"? [12:50] jeno_, no, you just arent giving me much info to work off of, What is stoppign you from using your camera in skype? [12:50] yea an unorigional system is a sign of the user not being creative not the system being faulty [12:50] docmax, notify-send is one of those contradictions [12:50] thevishy: free != free [12:50] docmax: you could try to install notification-daemon or xfce4-notifyd [12:50] stfu [12:50] docmax, a constant source of angst [12:50] ok iceroot but still I am facing not of slowness I did read !ram [12:50] !ram [12:50] A short primer on linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [12:50] thevishy: used ram = using ram from programs directly + buffer + cache [12:51] how do I skip fsck ubuntu is failing hard [12:51] ashzilla: If you had a root password set - enter it. If you didn't - just press "Enter". [12:51] thevishy: top [12:51] thevishy: then u see what i mean, also see df -h [12:51] jrib sudo nautilus gives same error [12:51] ashzilla: ubuntu usually tells you "press escape to skip the check" [12:51] ashzilla: esc and bootsplash-screen [12:51] what error ujio [12:51] ok ill leave it as it is, thanks anyway [12:51] ujio: I didn't say sudo nautilus... [12:51] ashzilla: also see man shutdown for command to skip fsck [12:51] grawity that just returns the same thing [12:52] ujio sudo gedit [12:52] !gksudo | MASARUwota [12:52] MASARUwota: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [12:52] iceroot Im not in console u boob [12:52] ashzilla: have you tried your own password too? [12:52] u noob* [12:52] ashzilla: what? calling me noob? [12:52] oh whow its filled with newbs here isnt it, jesus christ [12:52] oh lol inb4 troll [12:52] scandalous [12:53] !ohmy | MASARUwota [12:53] MASARUwota: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [12:53] gksudo better then sudo, it just shows a gtk popup ;/ [12:53] ashzilla: i have the perfect command for then you dont need fsck anymore, see my private message [12:53] its usefull if you dont want to open terminal [12:53] just gksudo in gnome do [12:53] iceroot: ashzilla has left long ago. [12:53] gksudo also sets Up the proper enviroment for programs to run on the Desktop [12:53] grawity: :( [12:54] Emanon: makes sense, then again, why wouldnt you want to start a terminal, you could follow debugging that way ;/ [12:54] grawity: i wanted to say "thank you" for the thing about "noob" [12:54] not everyone gives a shit about debugging [12:54] Dr, is it gksudo or gksu ? [12:54] Emanon, MASARUwota I got this http://i50.tinypic.com/nw0k6w.jpg [12:54] sometimes they just want to actually USE a program [12:54] relentless, http://kepfeltoltes.hu/091213/18882160N_vtelen_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg [12:54] ujio: same thing after doing gksudo gedit ? [12:55] blueglasses: i thionk one ofthose is an alias for the other [12:55] as opposed to using a computer for the sake of using a computer they want to use it for what it IS a tool to accomplish a task [12:55] yes [12:55] jrib, wrong translation ;) [12:55] how many times is samba going to brak in one year? [12:55] ivanatwork: ah :) [12:55] nreak [12:55] jrib, np my fault lol [12:55] Computers are just a fad. [12:55] but im getting off subject [12:55] break [12:55] i heard someone say that once Dr_Willis [12:55] Emanon: your point makes sense, but i dont agree :p [12:56] oh and the compulsory "what you talkin bout willis?" [12:56] jeno_, that doesnt tell me anything. Do you see your video on a loopback outside of skype [12:56] no [12:56] ujio: still there man? [12:56] yes [12:56] im going to type this slowly and clearly, not everyone cares HOW their computer does what it does they just want it to do what they want it to do [12:56] they dont care how [12:56] or why [12:56] or how to make it do it better [12:56] Emanon: move on please... [12:56] Hi . USB hard drive is not detected in 9.10 [12:57] as long as it does it when they say they dont care [12:57] Emanon: thats the simplicity of windows, i hoped the people here passed that stage ;/ [12:57] Emanon: stay on topic, pls [12:57] There is light in hard drive [12:57] MASARUwota: Ever wondered why Mac OS was (and is) so popular? It just works™ [12:57] grawity: yeah, thats why they use mac OS. Ever wondered why linux is so special? because it shows you what its doing [12:58] ;/ [12:58] no because it allows it if you choose not because its users force it on you because of their aesthetic [12:58] * jrib sighs [12:58] MASARUwota: that's why I prefer Arch over Debian :) [12:58] !ot | MASARUwota, Emanon [12:58] MASARUwota, Emanon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[12:59] *fervent prayers answered* [13:01] So I'm having issues with Ubuntu and java applications freezing up and not working at all..mouse pointer still moves..but java is a no go...I'm using 8.10 [13:01] <_raven_> hi - is there any jack-plugin providing a surround-monitor? (like this: http://www.rtw.de/images/10600_Loudness_400Pix.gif) [13:02] re ! I'm back. [13:03] hey in onodevelop... when u want to publish ur program what does it build it as? a .exe? [13:03] monodevelop* [13:04] never used monodevelop, but I'm guessing .exe - what else could it be? [13:04] So I'm having issues with Ubuntu and java applications freezing up and not working at all..mouse pointer still moves..but java is a no go...I'm using 8.10 [13:06] recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. It doesn't recognize blank cd/dvd inserted for burning. No CD icon appears on my desktop and brasero detects no disk inserted. [13:06] umm [13:06] previously, could burn [13:06] but for ubuntu users [13:06] what use is it if its an exe? [13:07] NoPro: Mono is supposed to be cross-platform. .exe's can be run both on Windows' .NET and on Mono. [13:07] Oh k.... but I wanted to create it for linux users. [13:07] I guess If they have wine :P [13:07] Mono does not require Wine. [13:08] Just like Java - same executable and library format for all OSes, and such. [13:08] what tools are available to me to help me figure out why Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't recognize blank CD/DVD? [13:09] NoPro: In Ubuntu, Banshee music player and Tomboy notes app (and F-Spot, IIRC) all are Mono apps and come as .exe files (even though they don't work in Windows, only Mono) [13:10] ohh, ok. [13:10] so how are they installed (im confused) [13:11] Why won't ubuntu 9.10 recognize a blank CD? no such problem in 9.04 [13:11] Is there something I need to download? === jh_ is now known as Guest55223 [13:12] hai [13:12] hola [13:12] bintang [13:13] stevecoh1: there was a bug in brasero or somthing a few weeks back that wouldent let you burn cd's - try update/upgrading and see if that fixes it.

[13:22] mlm..................... [13:22] eeeeeeoooooo .....jg..... [13:22] how can i locate network shared folders in terminal? [13:22] stevecoh1: its a question of is it the OS not seeing the disk.. orBrasero not seeing it. I perfer k3b also. [13:22] stevecoh1: ane befor when i had the issue. K3b worked.. but brasero did not. [13:22] pc-destop: try the findsmb or smbtree commands [13:22] !troll > bintang [13:22] bintang, please see my private message [13:22] well, I can try it. === pingpongpls is now known as JNSamuel [13:23] but I am betting it's the OS. installing k3b now [13:24] hey guys, im trying to configure a socks5 proxy server and am struglling with netmasks.

[14:24] thank you [14:24] iflema [14:24] KnifeySpooney, try 2 different browsers [14:24] scooter89: for Apache, allow incoming HTTP and HTTPS connections. But FTP is trickier; it uses a separate data connection... if you're using FTP with SSL, it can be a pain. [14:25] mine: allow service (incomming) http maybe https for everyone or select few [14:25] Why can't anybody port pf to Linux? I mean, look how beautiful its configuration is: http://pastie.org/741284 - not to mention that it's referred to as the world's best firewall by experts. [14:25] ok [14:26] BluesKaj: didn't work [14:26] FoggyHill: there are numerous frontends to iptables to make it more pleasant.

[14:29] is rc.local the typical place to lay out iptables rules, or is there a more preferred way to define them in a debian/ubuntu environment? [14:30] it says I cant save my new.php in /var/www no permissions ! [14:30] BluesKaj: The problem is noticeable when I have a java app open that takes control of the sound, but outputs nothing. I then try to run a music streaming service and I don't get any audio playback.

[14:40] i can do either [14:40] download it from the site [14:40] JJ1219: So you'll need the .iso (NOT extracted), and the Wubi.exe installer [14:40] or use the one that came with the cd download [14:40] JJ1219, ok which cd burning software do you have [14:41] coz_: Wubi doesn't need a CD [14:41] idk, whatever vista has default [14:41] grawity, ah I see I have never used it [14:41] I have a question for you all.

[14:53] ssv1994: you don't need to download it from their site, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer will download it for you [14:53] KongfuToufu: or check Gnomad [14:53] In case of troubles just buy the fluendo codecs pack ... [14:53] demon_D_MAN: firewall [14:53] ssv1994: The only problem is that they cannot be redistributed along with Ubuntu. But downloading separately is okay. (AFAIK.) [14:54] ^ that [14:54] iflema: I'm using firestarter [14:54] forceflow:when i use it in terminal, it just can't initialize the device and tells me that is busy [14:54] but I don't now what to do [14:54] to enable it [14:54] iflema, yes [14:54] ok, that is good, but what about device drivers? [14:54] KongfuToufu: It might be that it's already being accessed by gphoto2 in the graphical interface. [14:55] demon_D_MAN: enable http service?? [14:55] I've installed libs to /usr/local how do i get the system to use them instead of the defaults (globally, e.g not for just a program as i launch it)? [14:55] iflema: I already have that enabled [14:56] even if my firewall is off I can't reach it [14:56] grawity: i know that issue but in 904 if i unmount the device it can be normal, but this doesn't work in 910 now [14:56] i am trying to uninstall firefox 3.5 in ubuntu 8.04 to go to firefox 3 which i think will be better than the crashing browser i am using right now [14:56] ssv1994: basically, there are two things that apply to most of these programs: 1) they can be downloaded separately but not distributed with Ubuntu. 2) they are only available as pre-compiled binaries, not as source code => Ubuntu developers cannot fix them in case of problems. (At least that's how I understand it.) [14:56] demon_D_MAN: are you behind an adsl router? [14:56] i looked up in ubuntu forum and saw this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4811890 and this does not help me for 3.5 at all [14:56] wozu muss dieser prozess laufen? -> /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-2.26 [14:56] datta: so you want to remove ff3.5 and install ff3.0?

[14:57] MASARUwota: yes [14:57] ssv1994: What do you mean by "it"? [14:57] demon_D_MAN: sometimes the router has a firewall activated..... [14:57] god damn [14:57] I mean codecs and wifi drivers [14:57] datta: open up a terminal and type: sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge [14:57] * grawity thinks he should redirect ssv1994 to #ubuntu-lawyers or something. [14:57] demon_D_MAN: if so open 80 and 431 [14:57] datta: that will remove and purge the directories [14:57] is it 431? [14:57] grawity:how can i solve that libgphoto and libmtp conflict? [14:58] someone please help me with this ttf-dejavu error http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/340572/ [14:58] datta: my aptitude shows a program called firefox-3.0 have you tried installing that? [14:58] iflema: so and how do I open those :D [14:58] I can't find any fixes for it [14:58] KongfuToufu: I used to solve it with a kill -9 [14:58] MASARUwota: this is the problem that the terminal says that package firefox is not installed [14:58] datta: Try 'shiretoko' or 'firefox-3.5' [14:58] 443 [14:58] hello everybody [14:58] Is it possible to download nsidwrapper on windows, and then use it on linux or something? [14:58] datta: Or dpkg -l | grep firefox [14:59] datta: maybe its called differently in the ubuntu repos D: [14:59] ssv1994: the programs are not illegal it's just that canonical are not allowed to redistribute them [14:59] 443? [14:59] wvd: It should be in http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [14:59] demon_D_MAN: if this is the case... youll prob need a password to get into web interface = address required [14:59] grawity: do I have to set it on a CD then? [14:59] okay I have the address of my router [14:59] wvd: CD, USB drive, whatever you have. [14:59] grawity: and, no, it isn't there.. [15:00] iflema: Okay I will try to find the pass somewhere =D thanks for the help [15:00] demon_D_MAN: if firewall is acticve... sound like it what about firefox does it get in????

[15:01] evon: try install ing ttf-dejavu-extra first [15:01] oh [15:01] sean93: is an adsl router involved? [15:01] KongfuToufu: Do 'ps -ef', and see if there are any gphoto processes listed. [15:01] KongfuToufu: Or, maybe pgrep -lf gphoto [15:01] iflema, im not sure [15:01] grawity: and then if I have them on USB/CD, what should I do? [15:02] How so set up Parked Domains and Addon Domains in Apache? [15:02] usb or ethernet connection? [15:02] wvd: In GUI - double-click on the package.

[15:02] MASARUwota: it's already installed [15:02] Balsaq: just search for the model + ubuntu on a search engine to find if it boots alright [15:03] grawity: dpkg -i *.deb should automatically install all three? [15:03] ok thanks [15:03] evon: k, now retry. make sure to do a "sudo apt-get update" first [15:03] wvd: well, yeah. The "*.deb" part will match all .deb files in the current directory...

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:25] tonybaloney867, i had similar issues with my 701, try changing the USB drive [16:25] anybody from Russia is here? [16:25] im not sure you can 'dd' an iso file to a flash drive and have it work properly. but i could be wrong i guess [16:26] does one need to do the /fastboot option to prevent a fsck check after running the shutdown -F -r now command? [16:26] under /lib/modules i have several directories labeled with old kernel versions, if they are taking up like a gig of my 8 gig hard drive I should be cool with dumping them right?

Just make sure you change bios boot order after install [17:07] hey, does anyone know how to mount this device: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22LS40, LL02 ? [17:07] Okay. [17:07] Thanks. [17:07] John_buffalo: depends on what it 'really' is... [17:07] i think is after a while when doing some multimedia activity [17:07] Also: will Wubi install GRUB on the hard drive, or can I enable it to be installed on the external? [17:08] John_buffalo: is it a cd? dvd? some fancy usb gizmo? [17:08] like a moment when i boot up the computer it freezes in the boot [17:08] djanatyn: you can select either. You will only need to change bios order if you install it on external drive [17:08] or in choosing an aplication [17:08] Alright. [17:08] it freezes anytime, no exactky time [17:09] djanatyn: although im not sure if wubi lets you select. [17:09] just freezes [17:09] John_buffalo: a dvd drive should auto mount. or tyr manually mounting it 'sudo mount /dev/dvd /mnt' and see if the contents show up in /mnt [17:09] 9.04 this not happen [17:09] necromaster: did you do a clean install of 9.10 or did you Upgrade?

[17:12] Meteora: just uncompress it. cd into the dir it makes.. and run the new version from there. you dont really 'install' it. [17:12] Meteora: you can just extract it and start it from inside there [17:12] gadget3000: is there somewhere i can read about the difference in signal strength reporting? [17:12] ActionParsnip: I literally started using Ubuntu yesterday, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing [17:12] Is it possible to have samba operate as a PDC with a tdbsam passdb backend, and some Linux clients to join the domain and to use domain users for logon, by using winbind?

My external drive is partitioned and bootable, and it seems that Wubi isn't recognizing it. Any ideas, or will I need to go to the live CD? [17:13] Meteora, before you download a program from "some website" first open synpatic package manager and look through its index to see if that program is there instead (synaptics can be found : system menu -> administration -> synaptics package manager) [17:13] gpm: what version of firefoxes garbage do you desire?

[17:15] sean93: Try sudo apt-get update followed by jockey-gtk [17:15] wvd, ? [17:15] no software for cleaning [17:15] . [17:16] necromaster: thats somthing to try.. 9,10 live cd. or a clean insstall. I wouldent bother with xubuntu personally. I perfer ubuntu [17:16] necromaster: your confused about the use of the term 'clean' in this case. [17:16] I got disconnected right after posting this question the last time; After installing kubuntu-desktop on a standard ubuntu install, can I edit the application menus so that I see only gnome apps when logged into gnome and kde apps when logged into kde, to avoid clutter? [17:16] Meteora: ok in ubuntu its very rare to download apps from sites [17:16] I have a question that I wish I could give more specifics to, but I'm new to Ubuntu and don't know where to start looking. I have 9.10 and on random occasions during bootup, after it states "grub loading" I'll get a blank screen, and it's as if everything has loaded fine (based off of the processing sounds/lights), but I see nothing. Sometimes does this 3x in a row, sometimes once every 10 boots. I have Dell Inspiron 1100, not sure if you need more [17:16] hardware specs. [17:16] okay, I'm still used to running Windows [17:16] twig11: yes you can. BUt editing the menus may be more work then you want to do. [17:16] Meteora: most of the time you will use the repositories to install stuff. [17:17] i know how to mke an clean install but i don't want to do it [17:17] alrighty, I'm doing that now. [17:17] it takes a lot of time [17:17] can anyone help me? I've got an error from launchpad after uploading my package [17:17] Rejected: Upload rejected because it contains binary packages. Ensure you are using `debuild -S`, or an equivalent command, to generate only the source package before re-uploading. See https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA for more information. [17:17] Meteora: if you run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [17:17] necromaster: upgrade is not a good idea [17:17] since i have to download the iso image and burn it and boot it [17:17] necromaster, if you had put your /home on a separate partition it takes less than 20min to do a full clean install [17:18] necromaster: dont stay a perfect thing [17:18] Meteora: that will upgrade you to the latest version of the release of firfox you have, you can install 3.5 if you are using jaunty, its a separate app in jaunty [17:18] i got so clean instal it's the recomend [17:18] is like uses dirty dishes [17:18] okay [17:19] If I swap out DVD drives on an existing install of 9.04, What should I do if the system won't mount? [17:19] well so see you later thanks for all [17:19] u need to format partition then you can install a new system [17:19] Meteora: you can add the mozilla PPA and install the daily build [17:19] okay ive managed to fix the overscan in nvidia, (currentöly using nvidias latest drivers) and still no sound through HDMI. how do I fix this? (in ubuntu ive set sound output as digital stereo (HDMI) output [17:19] Dr_Willis: I know how to edit menus using the gui in gnome. That's no problem at all. Is there more to it than that? [17:19] John_buffalo: you just get UUID of drive e put a line insite /etc/fstab [17:20] twig11: thers going to be kde entries all over the place. and some will have identical names to the gnome entry. It just gets to be a bother. [17:20] user__: hdmi is a PITA to setuo [17:20] ActionParsnip, could you please PM me? [17:20] hey guys, anyone got time to help me with some debugging? :) Having some weird things happen at 3am where my httpd stops talking to my php gateway for no specific reasons. checked crontabs and logs and still blank [17:20] hi, i got problem with system time. [17:20] wow, ubuntu one is a pile of 403's and 500's [17:20] Meteora: sure but i dint give support in PM [17:20] uh, okay... [17:20] ActionParsnip, lol :( but I need it. how do I fix it? do you know any forum or discussion or guide regarding it? [17:21] I'm sorry, I'm just getting lost in everyone else's problems [17:21] user__: i dont use it, too much heartache [17:21] everytime i boot into ubuntu and then into fedora or slackware the system time defaults to utc [17:21] Dr_Willis: Is there any simple way to avoid that if you install both? [17:21] John_buffalo: you can see that at internet [17:21] twig11: not that ive noticed [17:21] okay........ [17:22] twig11: it gets even worse when you also install xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop and.. hmm what others... [17:22] hi, i cannot reboot ubuntu server - sudo reboot .....any ideas why? [17:22] can anyone help me with this error when I try to run an SDL application? "do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly. Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter." i downloaded driconf and tried all four vsync settings but none had any affect. [17:22] ActionParsnip, what to do then, it doesnt seem that like my TV can handle hdmi video and analouge audio. should I get external speakers? [17:22] meero149: tell the channel the output of that command perhaps? error messages and so forth. [17:22] user__: your tv dosent also have audio in ports for normal audio? [17:22] !lubuntu [17:23] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [17:23] twig11: installing Lubuntu-desktop REALLY can goof things up.. :) [17:23] user__: if you can't get it working, its an option [17:24] does anyone have an "edcast" alternative for ubuntu to upstream to icecast? [17:24] Dr_Willis: I don't know anything about lxde so I don't think I'll be installing it soon. [17:24] hi,i have issue with system time. everytime i boot into ubuntu and then into fedora/slackware the system time defaults to utc [17:24] Dr_Willis, i dont know about "normal" but what i have is a red-yellow input. and that only plays audio if "PC" is set instead of HDMI, which means i cant get video and audio at the same time [17:24] but system clock is set to localtime in all of the distros. [17:24] and linux was supposed to be easy ;) whats the issue with HDMI audio= [17:25] airtonix: how do you put /home on a separate partition? I'm thinking of reinstalling 9.10 [17:25] Dr_Willis: what if I install kubuntu-desktop and want to remove it later? Is that a real pain? [17:25] svinoba: Fedora uses UTC by default. Just have all you distros use UTC [17:25] user__: its HDMI thats the issue.. its just soo new. and makers dont want to release the specs for their cards taht do hdmi audio [17:25] I noticed 2-3 years ago Ubuntu had a CPU frequency selector: http://lgespee.blogspot.com/2007/04/cpu-frequency-selector_06.html does this still exist? If so, how to reach it? [17:25] twig11: it can be a bother. [17:25] I need help on setting up internet with a siemens gigaset usb adapter.. I've installed windows drivers etc and tried everything, but it still can't reconigze my hardware. I also tried finding my usb adapter id using hal-device | less but idk how to find it.. Anyone knows what to do? [17:25] !puregnome | twig11 [17:25] user__: is there a white plug there too with the red and yellow? [17:25] twig11: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [17:25] yoyoned: i cant as I have vista along side. ubuntu seems to be doing what windows usually does :( [17:26] Is it possible to set it up so Ubuntu never asks me to restart? On more than one occasion I have lost data due to accidentally clicking on "Yes" when it popped up [17:26] Dr_Willis, omigosh ;O so there is no solution at all? cant I go with some proprietary stupid drivers then? [17:26] how can i recover linux grub after windows lilo installation [17:26] Dr_Willis: thanks! [17:27] user__: can you use the VGA input on your TV? [17:27] n00p: yeap [17:27] LizardK|ng, there might be [17:27] user__: ive never even seen a video card that also does hdmi sound out yet.. its just cutting edge stuff. [17:27] LizardK|ng, but its not a 'standard' audio connector [17:27] LizardK|ng, yes the vga works, but crappy resolution [17:27] n00p: cpufreq-selector [17:27] hi if anyone is from outside the uk and would be willing help test my squid config could they pm me [17:28] VGA should work at at least 1024X768 on a decent tv [17:28] Dr_Willis, my card is built in the motherboard, so I can get audio too. if ubuntu would allow it [17:28] I need help on setting up internet with a siemens gigaset usb adapter..

I just don't know what the package for the kernel is. In fact, I am not sure this bug is due to kernel. It's a regression on webcam support.

[17:49] Serraphyn: see if you can download alternate boot disks (they have more drivers, that could be part of the problem) or try a USB boot from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [17:49] how about synaptic === guy is now known as Guest31673 === Guest31673 is now known as guy11 [17:49] sAnta89_: no. wireless network can be eth too :) [17:49] mine is eth1 [17:49] Flare183, thanks.

[17:50] maybe someone else can help you [17:50] make the necessary adjustments, and save it somewhere you know you can find it [17:51] Linux karmicx300 2.6.31-16-generic [17:51] LjL ok, but i DONT WANT to pollute my linux like my windows box for example [17:51] andresmh: Yes, that is correct. [17:51] n00p: what's the MODE? [17:51] then do sudo /path/script-name [17:51] And what about the key, don't I have to specify WPA2? [17:51] i want a lean and good install, not hundreds of things on my menus [17:51] MODE is man iwconfig [17:51] read about MODE there [17:51] what is difference bitween eth0 and ppp0 [17:51] n00p: it doesnt work for me [17:51] JoeSomebody, you can remove things as easily as you can add them, so as long as you remember to get rid of the stuff you don't want, you should be fine [17:51] i tried configuring manually [17:51] n00p: ESSID is the SSID? [17:51] JoeSomebody, well, the good thing here is that you can install and uninstall everything from the official repositories, without downloading stuff from the web and really "polluting" anything. it takes one command to install, and one to purge (or clicks in Synaptic, if you prefer the GUI way) [17:51] lordganesh: one is a network interface, one is your ppp (point to point) protocol interface [17:51] is there an up-to-date repo for ubuntu hardy? The default one has older versions of many programs like nautilus and synaptic. [17:52] ppp0 is dial up [17:52] i think it's claiming i have more bad sectors than i have total sectors on the disk, it's only 120GB [17:52] lordganesh: eth0 is ethernet, and ppp0 is dialup most likely. [17:52] Flare183, I get There is no project named '2.6.31-16-generic ' registered in Launchpad" [17:52] no [17:52] essid is the name of the AP [17:52] well, maybe. depends what you think SSID is [17:52] andresmh: kernel-image- [17:52] used to use pp0 before the time of dsl cable :P [17:52] I think [17:52] Dr_Willis: you know anything like that? [17:52] pdragon_: ppp0 can also be VPN connections... it#s a protocol, not necessarily dialup [17:52] JoeSomebody, you can use synaptic to install things and use synaptic to desintall thinghs when you don't want to use with complte remove [17:52] n00p: It's somethng like SX551 for me. [17:52] SSX* [17:53] anyone know why I am receiving this error?: vol_id -u /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: error opening volume [17:53] n00p: So what should I change? mode, essid, and key? [17:53] wvd: if the key is ASCII s:key [17:53] hey guys, whats the package manager in ubuntu called? [17:53] Flare183, I get: There is no project named 'kernel-image-2.6.31-16' registered in Launchpad [17:53] skellington, Synaptic? [17:53] DarkS7ar: The key is ascii yes [17:53] wvd: change ESSID and KEY, you might need to change MODE depending on your network type [17:53] santa89 thats the one, thanks [17:53] skellington: Synaptic or apt-get in the command line [17:53] JoeSomebody install ubuntu by the minimal cd of 9.10 and do sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop ... if you're good on linux try Archlinux by the Chakra live cd ... [17:53] but for most home wireless networks that MODE should be fine [17:54] n00p: ok, going to reboot and test [17:54] hey. can a live CD be used to fix a ubuntu installation done by the windows installer? [17:54] when i install something half the time it puts other things in with it, so if i try out lotsa stuff, i cant clean up a system i dont know well, i figure anyway [17:54] <|blendernation|> Is EricTheHax here? [17:54] falconheart i was thinking of synaptic, thanks [17:54] fool.. no need to reboot [17:54] spiky25: what sort of random suggestion is that? [17:54] ikonia: i use ifconfig to check how much i downloaded ,,so total amount willl be that much from eth0 ,,am i right? [17:54] wvd: then add s: before $key [17:54] Flare183: where does it get its information on bad sectors from? [17:54] yea why [17:54] should it be any problems to install latest ubuntu on a dell inspiron 6400 laptop? [17:55] n00p: how do u fix the problem with disconnecting [17:55] i am only a 6 months old in linux, read stuff, took a couple courses, otherwise know nothing :) [17:55] it seems to be a bug in the driver [17:55] |blendernation|: why [17:55] he want a lean ubuntu system there is nothing better installed fast and easily === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [17:55] but how to fix it [17:55] Why doesn't blender work with ubuntu? [17:55] Lubuntu has a lot of 'issues' last i tried it. [17:55] DarkS7ar: by configuring your wireless network properly. [17:55] <|blendernation|> i don't know..

[17:56] I gave you a script that you can use as a guide, DarkS7ar, along with "man iwconfig" [17:56] andresmh: What's your kernel's version? [17:57] JoeSomebody, when you want to uninstall somethoingd complete use synaptic select the package you want to uninstall and right click and you can see a lot of posibility [17:57] n00p: i know how to configure it [17:57] LjL that bot DID NOT work btw [17:57] can someone help me with my error problem [17:57] http://pastebin.com/d15d45ff3 [17:57] falconheart ubuntu backports maybe ?

[19:33] itilious: try using cfdisk to partition it instead.

Im using 9.10 and sometimes I lose my theme/icons to what seems to be a very default one (which also has sounds enabled when clicking on things). Windows in nautilus look more akin to what you would see if you were the Root user.

Any ideas? here is a post with a screen shot and some commen [19:36] ts: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8492496 [19:37] wvd: get rid of netwg [19:37] gadget3000: they where both from that wiki you linked (which I installed before) [19:37] k [19:37] gadget3000: and then?

The Software Center tells me it's installede already but i simply can't find it. [20:09] andrew__: like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/340746/ [20:09] Diverdude, grep is basicly just a 'find' command.

Im using 9.10 and sometimes I lose my theme/icons to what seems to be a very default one (which also has sounds enabled when clicking on things). Windows in nautilus look more akin to what you would see if you were the Root user.

They bought a wifi adapter and want to make it work... [20:28] Anyone have any idea how to fix my problem?

Is there any way of doing this at all? It's really impractical to lose control of the keyboard... [20:44] how do i find out if my wireless connection is using 802.11b or g? [20:44] hmm what package should I install to use latex ? [20:44] Any ideas on how to get this to install on my netbook? [20:45] Rounin, that's the first time I heard of that. What evil application uses that functionality? [20:45] !latex | Diverdude [20:45] Diverdude: tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [20:45] aliendude5300: At least wine (though it can be configured to not do it), zsnes and bzflag [20:45] Can anyone here help me? [20:45] There's been tons of posts about it, but noone seems to have come up with a solution [20:45] guntbert, hey I downloaded x-chat and I"m all good now, thanks for the help =) [20:46] Of all the strange ways to violate the users... [20:46] Jamed, hmmm is there no tex in the repos? [20:46] LuisGMarine: glad it works - have fun :-) [20:46] gadget3000: thanks so much,how can I get updates when new version become availble? [20:46] Diverdude: there is, its called texlive [20:46] cant i select a screen saver of my choice? [20:46] on 9.04 [20:46] Jamed, isnt it better to use that? [20:47] always_smile: google earth isnt in the google repositories so you just have to keep checking. But there are rarely updates [20:47] Dessan: er.. what? [20:47] Diverdude: er.. what? [20:47] i have a few pics that i would like to use as SS,is it not possible to choose em? [20:47] Jamed, its better to use texlive instead of manually download i [20:47] Jamed, download a package [20:48] aliendude5300, arguably, though, the fault lies with X for enabling it at all... Giving windows focus is typically a task for the operating system, not a single game [20:48] Diverdude: yes [20:48] thanks gadget3000,you're of great help [20:48] how do I setup an alias interface on a vlan? [20:48] Next they'll allow mail clients to alter the file system [20:48] it works for normal, but not vlan, and google isn't locating anything [20:48] always_smile: np [20:48] Rounin, I'd assume there would be a setting in your xorg.conf file, but I'm not sure. [20:49] Hopefully, aliendude5300... Nobody else seems to know either though [20:49] iface eth0.4:9 gives "/etc/network/interfaces:19: too few parameters for iface line [20:49] I just saw a post about it from 2004 [20:49] why wouldn't /dev/sde1 be found when /dev/sde is? [20:49] using the wndis gui, I get an error "Could not find a network configuration tool" [20:49] dmj7261: Is the disk partitioned? === patdk-h3 is now known as PatrickDK [20:49] dmj7261: because sde isnt partitioned? what comes up with sudo fdisk -l [20:49] yes, it has several [20:49] dmj7261: type sudo fdisk -l to get a list of all devices and partitions [20:50] /dev/sde1 1 20503 164690316 7 HPFS/NTFS [20:50] /dev/sde2 * 20504 38913 147878325 5 Extended [20:50] /dev/sde5 36482 38913 19535040 83 Linux [20:50] /dev/sde6 20504 36480 128335189+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [20:50] dmj7261: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:50] Ah guntbert is !info p7zip a comment for the terminnal? if so it doesn't work. [20:50] Jamed, hmm although there is nothing called texlive [20:50] oh sorry [20:50] I've been asking all day... can anyone please help me with my /boot partition? It says unrecognized filesystem when I try and boot and when I try and install grub it says bus error [20:50] dmj7261: You have to mount the parition first if it's ntfs, i think [20:50] Diverdude: do a "apt-cache search texlive", it should give you some packages [20:50] If I look in /dev it doesn't show it. [20:51] H3331: no, you get a text for you to read (from ubottu) [20:51] i've got a 512 RAM,a dual core processor,windows 7&ubuntu are installed in my PC,it keeps freezing and I have problems with windows lists,do I need to remove windows or you think I need to upgrade my system,thank you [20:51] ubozzu?? Sry but i have already installed 7zip I just need to know how to launch it. [20:51] does GRUB have known issues with ext4? [20:51] does anyone know whether the linux md raid5 should be checking / resynching after a reboot? I'm coming from a windows environment where any unplanned reboot caused the software raid to resync the whole drive. My ubuntu box froze up just now and now it booted and the raid is apparently clean, and fsck says its clean. Is this expected? There was no heavy disk activity going on at the time of the freeze. [20:51] danobook: i use ext4 with grub fine [20:51] ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sde1': No such file or directory [20:51] is there a way to configure shutdown so I don't have to do sudo? [20:51] 512MB is cutting it REALLY close with win7 [20:51] anyone? [20:51] H3331: from where did you install it? [20:51] gadget3000, is it ok for GRUB to assume it's a ext2 partition, and which version of GRUB? [20:51] dying here... my live cd is failing every other reboot... someone? [20:52] From the software center, guntbert. [20:52] Jamed, still no texlive [20:52] gbear: I've been asking all day... can anyone please help me with my /boot partition? It says unrecognized filesystem when I try and boot and when I try and install grub it says bus error [20:52] danobook: 1.97 beta. i just installed mine with karmic so i dont know what partition type grub assumes it is [20:52] H3331: give me a few moments [20:52] yamichi: so you think the problem is with RAM? [20:52] aliendude5300: now you are sure it's some user-specific setting. Don't delete, just rename to test [20:53] Diverdude: strange, try installing auctex, the emacs latex plugin. it should install texlive as a dependency [20:53] always: it's very possible. That shouldn't be an issue within linux though [20:53] can anyone please help me with my /boot partition? It says unrecognized filesystem when I try and boot and when I try and install grub it says bus error [20:54] !repeat | gbear [20:54] gbear: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [20:54] Jamed, the "Ubuntu Software Center" in the startmenu has the same search results as if I searched in the terminal right? [20:54] gadget3000, 32 or 64 bit [20:54] can anyone please help me with my /boot partition? It says unrecognized filesystem when I try and boot and when I try and install grub it says bus error [20:54] then if I wish to remove windows from my system and keep ubuntu alone,how can i remove it safely? [20:55] Diverdude: afaik the software center just shows some specific packages, allthough i never used it [20:55] danobook: 32 [20:55] ok [20:55] H3331: it comes without a gui - just type p7zip ... (man p7zip for help) [20:55] Can someone with Karmic tell me the name of the executable that runs when you go to "System->Adminstration->User Management". I'm missing this tool. [20:55] i'm on 64bit [20:55] Jamed, so how can i search in the terminal? [20:55] Flare183: I've never understood if that was a serious or sarcastic message before [20:55] is it normal for /dev/md0 to be clean after a forced reboot without resyncing? [20:55] Diverdude: apt-cache search [20:56] i need help [20:56] always_smile: you can remove the ntfs partition with gparted and remove the windows entry from grub.conf [20:56] Hello, I've got a question.

[20:56] hey. i got a problem. last time i rebooted ubuntu, it didnt want to reboot the normal way, so i did "sudo reboot". now each time i try to login, after inserting login data, the screen goes black, and back to login screen [20:56] Can someone with Karmic tell me the name of the executable that runs when you go to "System->Adminstration->User Management". I'm missing this tool. [20:56] dgrant: if you mean users and groups - that is users-admin [20:56] into the terrminal?? [20:56] guntbert: thanks! [20:56] i think it might be related to having changed screen resolution during last session [20:57] dgrant: you're welcome :-) [20:57] ARGH!!!!.... [20:57] Jamed, ahh that returns a whole bunch of tex-lives in different languages [20:57] H3331: yes [20:57] I need some help please. I have just plugged in a monitor to my eeePC 901 9" netbook and the max resolution for my external screen is 800x600. Can I change that to 1680x1050 please?

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:58] i need to unisntal windows XP [20:58] gadget3000: how I may remove the ntfs partition,how can i reach it,what's the gprated?

[21:00] Diverdude: if you want to use emacs to edit .tex files its essential for syntax hilighting and so on [21:00] Jamed, ahhh very nice [21:00] always_smile: it will be easier to do this in livecd, saves installing gparted. in livecd you go to System>admin>gparted. Check http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ for manuals [21:00] Jamed, that is my intended plan yes [21:00] hey. i got a problem. last time i rebooted ubuntu, it didnt want to reboot the normal way, so i did "sudo reboot". now each time i try to login, after inserting login data, the screen goes black, and back to login screen. I think this might be related to having changed screen resolution last session. How can GUI be restored please ? :X [21:00] Hi all. could someone help me with a slow internet connection problem?

[21:06] Does anyone have an opinion on NFS vs. SAMBA for sharing btwn Ubuntu clients [21:06] guntbert: hur hur, you said stroke [21:06] Jamed, sweet indeed [21:06] always_smile: in which case 'sudo apt-get install gparted' will be easier [21:06] ActionParsnip: I beg your pardon? [21:06] can I use logical "or" in rhytmbox's search field? [21:06] FromTheRedCarpet: samba will allow any future windows systems to easily access the share [21:07] guntbert: its a beavis and butthead tribute [21:07] Guys, please advice a software for diary [21:07] so it appears to have started working again. The frustrating thing is that it unmounts, refuses to remount, then lets you do it after some random period. [21:07] so gadget3000 i need to do only this command: gadget3000 in which case 'sudo apt-get install gparted' ,is that enough??

Im using 9.10 and sometimes I lose my theme/icons to what seems to be a very default one (which also has sounds enabled when clicking on things). Windows in nautilus look more akin to what you would see if you were the Root user. What seems to fix this is "killall nautilus && nautilus" and then changing to another theme then back to my original. Any ideas? here is a post with a screen shot and some commen [21:09] ts: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8492496 [21:09] When I try to connect to my nx server I get "Cannot initiliaze the display service".

[21:19] Jamed, im fetching 500 Kb/s [21:19] Time`s_Witness: just checking something [21:19] sure [21:19] "chroot"ing would boot up the installed ubuntu on the USB device? [21:19] Diverdude: nice speed [21:19] I can't find a list of the grub-rescue> commands anywhere... can anyone find a list? [21:19] I can't find a list of the grub-rescue> commands anywhere... can anyone find a list? [21:19] gbear: stop flooding [21:19] !repeat | gbear [21:19] Jamed, got same speed up also [21:19] gbear: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [21:19] anyone know how to roll back the last flash update ? [21:20] anyone know how to roll back the last flash update ? [21:20] Jamed, 40USD a month [21:20] z3rongod_: it will mean the terminal will use the files and settings in the system installed usb system [21:20] Nith: nute: Can you help me troubleshoot a /boot issue. It fails to grub-rescue on boot and when I use a live cd and try to mount it says "unrecognized filesystem" [21:20] anyone know howto setup "PLACES" to access a samba share using a login/password? [21:20] ActionParsnip can you tell me a brief example of how can i use the dd_rescue installed on the USB hdd ? [21:20] Nith: nute: Been asking for hours... [21:20] When I try to connect to my nx server I get "Cannot initiliaze the display service". How do I fix this? [21:21] gbear: I'm sorry but usually I dig myself deeper before I dig myself out of those ones [21:21] gbear: you've been *flooding* for hours, yes. [21:21] I got downloaded VLC plugin for firefox,but now I need to know how can I make it default player for firefox audio&video files,thanks [21:21] gbear: how did you try to mount it? [21:21] Diverdude: wow, i pay the same in euro in germany and have less than half your downspeed, not to mention the slooooow upspeed [21:21] just read another good post on how NFS was slower than SAMBA... So confused now... [21:21] sudo mount /dev/sda5 [21:21] velociostrich: [21:21] Time`s_Witness: it seems you are right - the option is gone - as long as you create backup-files I'd say everything is safe - try it and don't worry you can always revert from the backup copy [21:21] maybe you have to explicitly specify the fstype? [21:22] like sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 [21:22] is it normal for /dev/md0 to be clean after a forced reboot without resyncing? [21:22] Is there any other option besides nx or vnc for remote desktop? [21:22] Jamed, nice...but generally in DK the internet is quite fast and quite cheap [21:22] gbear: and you'll need to make the mount point and include one if it's a livecd [21:22] velociostrich: its a /boot partition... I want to try and restore the mount point for it but don't know how [21:22] z3rongod_: dd_resue takes a block device and makes an image, dd will stop if it gets an issue, dd_rescue doesnt care. You can dd_rescure the USB device and make the detination be the NTFS partition (assuming there is enough space). You can then fsck the image and mount it to read its data [21:23] gbear, are you still on the old grub, or are you using grub 2? [21:23] cwillu: new grub (1.97) [21:23] FromTheRedCarpet: its all down to settings dude, the defaults in samba are pretty good [21:23] gbear, (forgive the repetition) you can mount it from a live cd? [21:23] How do I start vino through ssh? [21:23] Jamed, heh the actual install and unpacking properly takes longer than the d/l [21:23] how do i force ubuntu to mount my digital camera? picasa can't find it. [21:23] ActionParsnip: Is there any less security with SAMBA than NFS? [21:24] does anyone know why when I ssh into my server and try to turn it off with 'sudo shutdown -P' it doesn't power off? [21:24] always_smile: I'm back [21:24] cwillu: yes [21:24] If I hook up a monitor to it, it gives me the same screen as if I had booted up and chose recovery mode [21:24] FromTheRedCarpet: you can setup authentication using smbpasswd so users will need to authenticate and you can also control what they acess based on their username [21:24] welcome back gadget3000:) [21:25] seyfarth__: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the partition? [21:25] gbear, you know how to chroot into your installation from a live cd? [21:25] gadget3000: I got downloaded VLC plugin for firefox,but now I need to know howto can make it default player for firefox audio&video files,thanks [21:25] cwillu: let me take a look at the man page... brb [21:25] How do I start vino through ssh? [21:25] Diverdude: damned :D, but installing texlive usually takes a long time, because the indexing of the fonts is done after installing every single font package [21:25] Jamed, ok...what was the name of the emacs tex extension again? [21:25] gbear, wait [21:25] velociostrich: have you tried 'sudo poweroff'? [21:25] Diverdude: auctex [21:25] cwillu: k [21:25] no [21:25] that might work [21:25] <_GoRDoN_> Hi [21:25] can't try it now, but thanks [21:25] Jamed, hehe all installation and d/l done already :D [21:25] gbear, are you in the livecd right now? [21:25] cwillu: yes [21:26] always_smile: maybe just restart ff [21:26] ActionParsnip: nice. thanks... [21:26] gbear, check your pm's [21:26] always_smile: sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc [21:26] velociostrich i'm guessing it will probably give the same problem since it will call the same low level script, but give it a try anyway [21:26] always_smile: I'm not a user of firefox but I imagine it's under options, extentions, or something. Possibly about:extensions in address bar [21:26] is there a way in shell to tell flash in a web browser to go to fullscreen? [21:26] cwillu: private messages? [21:26] always_smile: its in the repo [21:26] ActionParsnip: 94.76.254.83 [21:26] Anril: hrm maybe, I'll try [21:26] (later, that is) [21:26] How do I start vino through ssh? [21:26] t [21:26] * cwillu pings gbear again [21:26] nute: ? [21:26] does anyone know whether the linux md raid5 should be checking / resynching after a reboot? I'm coming from a windows environment where any unplanned reboot caused the software raid to resync the whole drive. My ubuntu box froze up just now and now it booted and the raid is apparently clean, and fsck says its clean. Is this expected? There was no heavy disk activity going on at the time of the freeze. [21:27] ActionParsnip: How do I start vino through ssh? [21:27] Jamed, so i just install auctex, and then it manages to merge together with emacs itself and all that? [21:27] ActionParsnip: This is how i planned it out: 1 Broken 80GB HDD with 2 partitions NTFS (C:\ and D:\) in the freezer; 1 external HDD with ubuntu and dd_rescue on it. Use command "sudo fdisk -l" to see what parittions i have. Then use this: dd_rescue -n /dev/hdb1 /dev/hda [21:27] not getting anything... but I also have no clue how to use evolution [21:27] so what search engine do you use yourself gadget3000 then? [21:27] I'm trying to make a star-stop-daemon script for an app but I'm getting an --make-pidfile command not found error. Any ideas? [21:27] then ddrecover -dr3 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hda [21:27] cwillu: how do I kick off a pm? [21:27] ActionParsnip: nope. nautilus finds it, but its not in the actual file system - "gphoto2://[usb:001,004]/" ? [21:27] Diverdude: yes, if you edit a -tex file with emacs, auctex should be loaded automaticly [21:28] always_smile: I used to use bing but I've recently transferred to google. We should speak about this on #ubuntu-uk because it's off topic [21:28] <_GoRDoN_> What might cause audio and video to be out of sync in vlc, mplayer and totem. [21:28] nute: sudo apt-get install vino* if it doesnt start try running: sudo /etc/init.d/vino start if you are on LAN, you can use X forwarding [21:28] gbear: what irc client are you using? [21:28] gbear, /m name message [21:28] question: i want to add FTP access to my personal server so I can update files from filezilla. I have openssh installed. anyone know how to set this up? [21:28] _GoRDoN_: A rubbish media file [21:28] seyfarth__: fine, add it to your favourites [21:29] arghh2d2: cwillu: got it... using evolution... was using webchat but they said to use something real... this was the only thing on the live cd [21:29] Diverdude: please ignore my typos, im a bit tired :) [21:29] well, you can ssh into a remote machine on the same local network by using ssh very easily [21:29] Jamed, nice....all is done....now i just need to get started using emacs with latex hehe [21:29] ls [21:29] I think it's just ssh ipaddress [21:29] that's assuming that you have the same username on both machines [21:29] z3rongod_: check man dd_rescue but yeah you can spit the resulting file to the ntfs, you could even use foremost to just search for file types on the USB and extract them to the ntfs [21:29] <_GoRDoN_> Those files worked when I was using 9.04 but after I updated to 9.10 this problem started presenting [21:29] ActionParsnip: sudo: /etc/init.d/vino: command not found [21:30] velociostrich: or ssh -l user ipaddress [21:30] hi... anyone know of any good system redundancy link? [21:30] nute: is vino installed? [21:30] redundancy of link 2 [21:30] nute: i dont use vino, i think vnc is a bit vulgar [21:30] ActionParsnip: vino is already the newest version. [21:30] Jamed, so I just go $ emacs myfile.tex ? [21:30] Diverdude: yes, that should do it === yacc__ is now known as yacc [21:31] with iprouter2 works well? [21:31] ActionParsnip: The problematic HDD is not the USB external one [21:32] I accidentally deleted the first entry in Xchat: user Defined Commands. Can anybody please tell me the first entry? I cannot find on google [21:32] z3rongod_: whichever you'll still need the right command synatax ;) [21:32] please someone help me? [21:32] Jamed, nice....highlight is loaded in emacs [21:32] ActionParsnip: I already insalled it,but how can I set it to be my default player for audio &vedio files? [21:32] Jamed, so i guess auctex works [21:33] ActionParsnip can you tell me exactly how i can run the dd_rescue software that's saved on the USB hdd using the livecd ? [21:33] Diverdude: yeah, since you have hilighting, auctex works [21:33] awesome [21:33] what you mean by repo ActionParsnip? [21:33] always_smile: it will be used automagically in firefox, make sure you have no other video plugin packages installed ( i believe ubuntu shiops with some totem mozilla plugin package). try: dpkg -l | grep mozilla [21:33] whats the best ftp client for ubuntu server?

[22:02] Blue1: it is good with video [22:02] Xodiac: it seems to work well [22:02] ratapoil: d -h [22:03] ratapoil: df -h, sorry [22:03] always_smile: you just have 2 kernels installed, this is fine [22:03] Blue1: nice thanks man [22:03] Xodiac: try cheese first to see what the picture looks like - [22:03] Blue1: k [22:03] hum. okay, ActionParsnip. be right back then [22:03] thanks, maco! [22:03] last news is..Gnome will split off from gnu? [22:03] Blue1: nothing cept xchat and system monitor [22:04] Leoneof`: yeah a rumour [22:04] !ot | Leoneof` === Wanderer_ is now known as Wanderer [22:04] ActionParsnip: what you mean by kernels,versions of ubuntu maybe? [22:04] Leoneof`: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:04] Leoneof`: yeah and KDE will drop the K or whatever, but yep ActionParsnip is right, that's all off topic for in here [22:04] andrew__: hmm I don't run the system monitor - try it without that running. [22:04] :( [22:05] always_smile: you have 2 kernels, the updater doesnt remove the old kernels when a new one is installed. Ive seen systems with 6 kernels [22:06] t.com [22:06] i tried to run sudo fdisk -l many times ActionParsnip,but nothing happens? [22:06] evening all [22:06] Blue1: its the same...oh...this is a new install of 9.10 so there isnt a whole lot that ive dont to the OS yet [22:06] always_smile: its a terminal command, it will show the partitions available [22:06] mhh I should have a php based apt-get app [22:07] andrew__: this sound super dumb - but it's happened - have you tried switching ethernet cables? [22:07] Hello! [22:07] U910 and no suspend. [22:08] Blue1: yes and i have also used my wireless card instead of cat5 [22:08] machine always turns of when trying to suspend. [22:08] Blue1: same results [22:08] andrew__: private messge ok? [22:08] Blue1: sure [22:09] Hi! I tried googling but didn't find anything on the subject. So where do all files get installed in Ubuntu/Linux? I want to ask this because when I uninstall an application with Ubuntu Software Center, I want the application's traces to be deleted too (no empty folders ANYWHERE! Not even a marking in any text file of its existence) [22:09] ActionParsnip: the following line is printed, on lcpci: 01:00. VGA compatilble controller: ATI technologies Inc RV670PRO (Radeon HD 3850) [22:09] ubunewbu: If u do apt-get remove -purge everything gets removed [22:10] For example in Windows I always have to run regedit and delete it from LOCAL and USER directories and delete empty folders from My Documents and Program Files. And perhaps Temp and Windows folders. How do you do this in Linux? [22:10] ubunewbu: It's not Windows. The cfg's are usually stored in /etc [22:10] Apex: Even after I've uninstalled? I mean it was weird when I uninstalled Empathy and the "letter-icon" in the tray still had "Empathy", I clicked on it and WHAT THE BEEP?! It opened Empathy?! I deleted it!!! :O [22:10] ActionParsnip: why can't i see divisions into the partition like C,D,E? it shows dev/sda? [22:11] ubunewbu: open up a terminal. Write sudo apt-get remove -purge empathy [22:11] Thank you =) [22:11] is there someone who talks American English or British English as native language here?? [22:11] ubunewbu: You need to have empathy installed first of course. [22:11] M0D-1T: good chance of that, I'd imagine :) [22:12] microlith: do you? [22:12] M0D-1T: considering I was born in the 'states I'd hope so :) [22:12] Apex: So technically its wise to uninstall stuff with that trick always? But how do I know the program's "short name" [22:12] ubunewbu: I suggest using the Synaptic packagae manager, it's a little more windows-friendly [22:12] For example if it's a long program name... How do I know what to type in the terminal instead of empathy [22:13] Hi does any one know how to fix the artheros wifi module? ar5001 it's very unstable connection [22:13] sudo apt-cache search "program name" [22:13] Hi, I need help, a ntfs disk has a group of '49', i can only access it as root... [22:13] Times_Witness: ok then uninstall the proprietary driver and reboot, your system wil use the open driver and should be ok [22:13] microlith: But there's Ubu Software Center :O And thanks for your advice :) [22:13] Apex: -sudo :) [22:13] ubunewbu: yeah, never used it myself [22:13] topo: nope, but you could try ndiswrapper instead I guess [22:13] hey dudes.. when i use netstat -tap to see some host i have establish a connection.. it shows only the half of the name.. can i expend the foreign adress cell (or whatever is called) to see the whole result [22:13] ubunewbu: If u can use the terminal, do it. GUI = bloat. [22:13] always_smile: drive letters are what windows uses, linux isnt windows, linux uses block devices and mount points [22:13] Apex: hardly [22:14] Apex: As my nickname says... I'm a total newb and am avoiding anything that has to do with consoles/terminals. Used Windows for all my life [22:14] ubunewbu: use tab completion [22:14] ubunewbu: well, not yet you haven't ;) [22:14] thanks ActionParsnipto be honest I"m still unable to find which partition windows occurs in,because it's not shown there in the list of partions? [22:14] sebsebseb: I was using the ath5 driver i hoped i could keep using open drivers [22:14] ubunewbu: installing and removing programs using the terminal is rather easy [22:14] ActionParsnip: how can i do that ? :x Also, i did this to try to fix that issue, thinking it was X it was broken: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1324493, should i revert the original file back to there or leave that default one suggested in that thread? [22:14] ubunewbu: Its better too learn to use the terminal in the beginning. Cause you get a feel of how stuff works. [22:15] topo: well yes that's the way to do it really, use open drivers, ndiswrapper if no luck with that [22:15] always_smile: ls /dev/sd* && df -h [22:15] always_smile: which devices appear in the first command, but not in the second? [22:15] topo: Windows wireless drivers being used in a Linux distro, is a bit hmm [22:16] Times_Witness: if you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file it will be used, you should specify the driver as vesa so that you will get an x server [22:16] topo: wireless is slower than ethernet, and can be rather unreliable as well [22:16] sebsebseb: Yes specially when I can connect to the wifi but wont get acces to the web. weird? [22:16] ubunewbu, you wont get far here w/o terminal .. [22:17] sadly [22:17] topo: maybe it's not set up properly in Ubuntu, and no I don't know enough about wireless in Ubuntu, to be able to help you find out or not, the bot link for wireless might be useful though [22:17] ActionParsnip: i had a /etc/X11/xorg.conf first time i looked, i didn't create one from scratch. i had to delete some lines to get it just like that one though. My question is if i just keep it like that one in the thread, or if i should restore the backup [22:17] !wireless | topo [22:17] topo: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:17] Times_Witness: try both, its free to try [22:17] hey guys, random vimrc question [22:18] microlith: do not diss the command line. it's a powerful and useful interface. [22:18] Times_Witness: _make sure you specify the vesa driver so it doesnt try to load any wierd ati drivers [22:18] mneptok: I won't argue that, but the fact that it is -essential- to do anything is discouraging [22:18] I used to have something in my vimrc (or maybe bashrc) that allowed for better mouse integration, such as changing the window size during a split screen, does anyone know what his would have been? [22:18] katycorp: perhaps set mouse=a [22:18] and I'm the kind of person who cross-compiled gtk2/glade libraries for ARM [22:19] ActionParsnip: how do i do both: uninstal proprietary driver, and specify the vesa driver? I'm sorry i'm.. using linux for about a week now :p [22:19] microlith: IMO, the UNIX command line is a lot easier to learn than the Windows registry. and eventually anyone that wants to not have to reinstall Windows every 3 months has to use regedit. [22:19] But there should be a gui equivalent for each terminal command :) I know it's possible... it is in windows atleast [22:19] most comon hex editor? [22:19] or already installed on ubuntu 9.10 [22:19] ubunewbu, microlith https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:19] ubottu: thx I've been there, tried everything i couldbut i'm to much of noob for some of the stuff [22:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:19] and I think most stuff CAN be done with GUI in Ubuntu :P Atleast so far I think so === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [22:19] trism: ah I think that's it, thanks [22:20] mneptok: I haven't had to use regedit to avoid reinstalling windows every 3 months [22:20] ubunewbu: no certain things in Windows can only be done in the command prompt [22:20] mneptok: please check this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/340803/ [22:20] ubunewbu: what's the Windows GUI that provides "fdisk /mbr" [22:20] what is fdisk? :F [22:20] Is there a hex editor on ubuntu?or can anyone name one which is common? [22:20] ghex2 [22:20] !fdisk [22:20] Daimonic: apt-cache search hex editor [22:20] thanks [22:20] ubunewbu: it's also much easier and faster to use the commands when installing programs from the repo. [22:21] always_smile: your Windows partition(s) are /dev/sda(1-6) [22:21] hi there!! [22:21] always_smile: do you have GNOME installed? [22:21] !terminal | ubunewbu [22:21] ubunewbu: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:21] someone could suggest me how to set proxy system of usa [22:22] mneptok: what's Genome?how tomake sure I got it installed ,thanks [22:22] always_smile: do you have a GUI? [22:22] ubunewbu, http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [22:22] always_smile: GNOME is the default gui system in ubuntu desktop [22:22] mneptok: I'm not sure,Im new here,Im nut sure about the terms [22:23] sal_: ubunewbu that article is good, Linux distros are not Windows. Yes they aren't, but can be used instead of Windows for most computer tasks :) [22:23] GUI: graphic user interface. are you running linux in a console mode, or you do have a mouse pointer, a GUI? [22:23] Times_Witness: you will add a line in xorg.conf under the device section -0 Configured video device stating: Driver "vesa" this will make it use that driver [22:23] please help, how to use in the shell date???? I need to output smth like 20091211 [22:23] sal_: ubunewbu depending on the type of distro of course [22:24] Times_Witness: you can use jockey-gtk or synaptic to remove the driver [22:24] Well... I think I can use linux without a single terminal command :D Just watch me [22:24] Daimonic: beav, vche, lde, tweak, ht, hexcurse, hexer — GNOME: ghex, bless — KDE: khexedit [22:24] And GUI is easier ... it provides the "Are you sure?" questions before you do stuff and gives hints on what stuff is and pictures and all [22:25] ubunewbu: well yes you can, as long as the hardware you want to use, works with the distro you gone for which is Ubuntu, and you don't want to do anything slightly more advanced [22:25] I mean it's easier to browse for sofware even that way than just "reading" black and white text [22:25] how to use DATE command in the shell???? I need to output smth like 20091211 [22:25] ubunewbu: however sudo apt-get install program or program 1 prgraom 2 etc isn't hard [22:25] freeride: date +%Y%m%d [22:25] freeride: date +%Y%m%d [22:25] *is too slow* [22:25] ActionParsnip i dont know what is jockey, but about synaptic i dont think i can access it from console. supposing you dont know the name of the package/s of those drivers, do you know how can i get those so i can 'apt-get remove ' ? [22:25] Is there documentation on where Ubuntu/Linux installs stuff when a program gets installed? I mean a complete list of directories. I know the purge command [22:26] thanks a lot guys ))) [22:26] but if I want to do it manually, graphically and with MORE WORK [22:26] ubunewbu: and much quicker than first having to open up the software centre (assuming your on 9.10 if not add/remove) or synaptic [22:26] <[[thufir]]> my kernel version is 2.6.28-16-generic , so I won't be effected by by bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/249340 during upgrade, will I? [22:26] ubunewbu: you can see where everything is installed with the command dpkg -L package_name [22:26] Kamokow: how I make sure I got gui or not? [22:26] But it's nice to browse for software like typing in "MSN" and it'll show them all and describe them and show picture :) [22:26] ubunewbu: you should use the package manager to delete packages. do not do it by hand. [22:27] Times_Witness: yes thats why you need to edit xorg.conf FIRST so you get a desktop [22:27] mneptok: But it's nice to know how and I want to delete traces on all apps [22:27] Hello, Is there an easy way to make the icons in menu only smaller [22:27] I never like it when a computer keeps track of program history [22:27] ubunewbu: sudo apt-get purge $PACKAGENAME [22:27] ubunewbu: you can install more than one program like this. sudo apt-get install program1 program2 program3 program4 where than select each one individualley in a graphical program and tell it you want to install the program [22:27] ubunewbu: or use the "completely remove" option in Synaptic [22:27] always_smile: If you have only text on your screen, its not gui, if you have images and stuff, like a taskbar, you have a gui [22:28] mneptok: Yes, but I want to do it like this: Use the GUI to uninstall and then WITH THE GUI delete every file that is left. I have to know where they are first, so the dpkg is nice [22:28] ubunewbu: silly tpeos or typing in wrong words by mistake even, above where, I put where, I meant to put rather [22:28] ubunewbu: if you do it by hand, the package management system will not know the app has been removed, and when an update comes out, will install that update. and the app is back on your system. [22:28] ActionParsnip ah. ok xD Thanks! on my way... [22:28] <[[thufir]]> I'm not finding good info on how to upgrade from cd :( I prefer not fiddle with partitions [22:28] ubunewbu: sudo apt-get purge $PACKAGENAME [22:28] ubunewbu: that removes the app, all config files, everything. [22:28] mneptok: by hand, you don't mean using the terminal to remove the program, or? [22:29] Kamokow: yes I've got gui ,but why? [22:29] mneptok: ok that answers that [22:29] ubunewbu, sebsebseb hope there are no proprietary drivers in your system! [22:29] always_smile: Why what? Im confused? [22:30] sal_: normalley I wil install the propritary driver for my Nivida graphics card when on Ubuntu, but I am using another distro at the moment, and so maybe I don't have one installed, don't need the propritary one right now anyway [22:30] one question is that when you purge... does the $ get used or capital letters? [22:30] Any idea about running the madwifi drivers in karmic [22:30] ubunewbu: no [22:30] whats the best video card for dual display? One that is just straight out of the box autoconfigured by ubuntu? [22:30] you asking if i've got gui Kamokow?thanks for your help ,andit's much appreciated [22:30] ubunewbu: sudo apt-get purge packagename [22:30] sebsebseb, not so much aimed at you .. ;-) [22:30] ty [22:30] always_smile: Do you mind opening up a private message so its easier to talk? [22:30] sal_: ok [22:31] ubunewbu: purge removes the config files as well, not just the program which is what happens when you do remove === ArdAmAx is now known as Antrax [22:31] no not at all Kamokow,it's pleasure [22:31] I need to change my Ip for whatch a film in streaming visibile only in USA someone can suggest me something [22:31] hello, I went to "User and Groups", changed password to current user but that doesn't have any affect [22:31] I need to change my Ip for whatch a film in streaming visibile only in USA someone can suggest me something [22:31] i like the gui too, but also like learning command line, and find it necessary [22:31] ubunewbu: also programs have hidden folders in home with their program user data, for example .mozilla is the Firefox profile, if you then remove that or move it some where else, and re open Firefox, it's like your using it for your first time in Ubuntu [22:32] How to get the numpad "del" button to work? I tried making a custom hotkey ctrl+alt+del to open up "gnome-system-monitor" , didn't work but ctrl+alt+q worked... [22:32] sal_: the software centre in 9.10 is ok, it's going to improve a lot and replace Synaptic as well, however commands are still a great way to install and remove programs [22:32] also sudo passwd doesn't have any effect. I still have to use old password when I sudo [22:33] Thank you btw for helping me out so much :))) Some channels are like "gtfo" if you ask something and if you're a novice :( [22:33] I am using Ubuntu 9.10, which uses the GRUB2. It does not have grub anymore. If I downloaded grub so I can use it in a terminal to set root on a partition, would that interfere with the newer grub version? [22:33] ubunewbu: ah right yeah, well there's even a bot factoid for that kind of thing [22:33] I installed 9/.10 aside from 8.10 on my EEE PC 1005HA I didn't format the /. I want to set up the same users. Only their old directories remain from 8.10 [22:33] !rtfm [22:33] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.

[22:35] *effect [22:35] ubunewbu: hmm I just messaged the bot hmm, interesting way to mess up my auto complete there. anyway I was just showing you that, there is a factoid === newbie is now known as sburwood [22:36] Hello!

[22:42] Hi, I've got a bit of a problem here - I am trying to install Ubuntu Server on an old dinosaur, but it says it can't boot from the CD and suggests I flash my BIOS. Problem is, I'm not sure what motherboard it is. It's using some kind of intel socket 5 processor though. Currently running W98. Anyone got any ideas? [22:42] eugene_bondarenk, i think by default, ubuntu uses the primary user and has no root pw/user [22:42] !netsplit [22:42] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [22:43] sal_: ok I started with Fedora Core 2 and 4 so 2004 is when I started using Desktop Linux. stupid wireless device no net etc. Ubuntu since second release in 2005. some Live CD using after Fedora Core and I have done quite a lot of distros in virtual machines. Plus this is all off topic. [22:43] oh, I see, so the primary user is some kind of root? [22:43] I mean not literally [22:43] <[[thufir]]> can I somehow direct aptitude to use the cdrom for "safe-upgrade"? http://www.pastie.org/741851 [22:43] but isn't it totally wrong to think of it that way? [22:45] primary user has root privs [22:45] i have xubuntu installed with wubi on a really old computer. i want the computer to boot to the linux command line automaticly. i already edited boot.ini, what else needs to be done?

I wouldn't be here bothering you all, but I have tried all the available howtos and I just can't get Hydrogen to play. Audacity, Ardour, mp3, etc. all work. Just not Hydrogen.

You can rename back if you get issues [23:37] is there a way to tell if a connected hard drive is sata or pata, from dmesg or something? [23:37] in the console as root, type lsusb -v , i believe that will tell you what usb device is plugged in [23:37] then you can do a dmesg | grep [23:37] to see all the errors or what not [23:38] awaad: something may go to default settings because of it but it's in userspace [23:38] actionparsnip... let me see if I can follow your instructions.... wish me luck.... first is to find a skeleton of xorg.conf [23:38] Exetubin: do you have nvidia maybe?

[23:44] when ur software raid died, u have to spend more than 3 days understanding RAID [23:44] git__, it already did die [23:44] and understand the underlying way to recover from a RAID failure [23:44] where ur data is [23:45] how inconsistent they are [23:45] git__, whats the best way to do this? just start over and install to a particular drive? [23:45] and how to make the two consistent again [23:45] which block/sectors are synced [23:45] git__, i'm worried because i installed raid before, that i wont be able to ovewrite it [23:45] ActionParsnip.... i'll now reboot... hope it works [23:45] recover ur data, setup RAID as hardware [23:45] and be done [23:45] When I try to boot my computer, it says grub loading then goes immediately to a white screen, then reboots...any fixes? [23:46] by the way.... i only have the lines mentioned in the instructions in my xorg.conf file.... is that OK? [23:46] btw did u have a backup? or backup plan in place?
