[00:00] all the dvd-burners at directron.com work right out of the box on linux. [00:00] i can try that...but don't they essentially do the same thing.....and since there is no legacy grub on my system (9.10 was fresh install)...sudo update grub is the same as update grub2...but I will try [00:00] apocalypt hardware [00:01] brad_: i guess every normal cd burner works . what u are looking for [00:01] guyster: what mp3 player? [00:01] well my poineer dvd burner would not work at all [00:01] DasEi the 9.04 is installed on second partition....and i never installed the bootloader when I installed it so that it would not overwrite my 9.10 bootloader... [00:01] I have a sansa e260 (4 gb mp3 player). When I plug it in, I'm unable to see it in places. Is there a way I can fix that? [00:01] brad: is it dead? === akgraner_ is now known as JayFo [00:02] dante123: dual booting 9.10 and 9.04? [00:02] it dont seem to be but I have no other way of testing it [00:02] guyster: does it show up as a mountable drive? [00:02] dante123: grub --version to get the version, 9.04 is jaunty is legacy, 9.10 is grub2 in a fresh install [00:03] sebsebseb basically yes, I have 9.10 on partition one.....installed 9.04 derivative (Jolicloud) on second partition.....did not install bootloader when doing that so it would not overwrite 9.10 version..... [00:03] brad_: start with the basics. What does dmesg | egrep -i cd-rom say? [00:03] I don't think so. It's not in places/computer. How else would I be able to tell? [00:03] i have GRUB legacy installed, and upgraded to GRUB 2. now, it has new entries about "Chainload into GRUB 2". if i select it, it says "Error 11: Unrecognized device string". how do i fix this? [00:04] dante123: ok so I guess you need to edit the file for Grub 2 so it can boot up 9.04 as well or something. By the way why are you dual booting the two versions? [00:04] losha i dont have it hooked up but i could if you walk me through it [00:04] then I rebooted into 9.10 and ran "sudo update-grub" and it added Jolicloud entry....but when I try to run the entyr I get.. [00:04] dante123: if u are install the bootloader on another disk is would't override the grub [00:04] you mean install the bootloader on the second partition with 9.04 derivative [00:05] losha: I will hook it up and reboot. would you walk me through it ? [00:05] guyster: check the USB mode on the e260. It must be MSC (Settings > USB Mode > MSC). [00:05] brad_: well, lets start with the basics. Is it IDE, Sata or usb? [00:05] ide [00:05] sebsebseb really like the Jolicloud for my daughter....cloud based, facebook etc. nice interface too (like UNR but even slicker I feel) [00:06] dante123: jolicloud??? [00:06] losha : ide [00:06] dante123: yeah. i guess it starts with bootloader from the first disk so it shouldn't be effect anything if u install grub from 9.04 on another disk [00:06] brad_: ok, do you know how to connect it up? [00:06] It is. Has to be msc to run rockbox, so I know it is definitely set to msc. [00:06] yeah but should it be set on master or slave? === ssmit_ is now known as ssmit [00:07] Is there a PPA where I can get Thunderbird 3? [00:07] you mean if I hadnt told it not to install bootloader...it would have installed it into 9.04 partition and would not have hurt my 9.10 install? [00:07] Mike_lifeguard: yeah there is [00:07] brad_: is it the only thing on the ide cable, or is there something else on the cable? [00:08] i mean the actual dvd burner jumper settings [00:08] but when I first chose the second partition to install 9.04...it asks for the file system...I chose ext4...and the mount point...which I put as / [00:08] hello hello [00:08] would installing the bootloader have messed up booting 9.10 on first partition??? [00:08] dante123: Ext4 in 9.04 hmm [00:08] dante123: well in your case something based on 9.04 [00:08] You don't see it under the places menu? It should show up as a flash drive. === erika2009 is now known as berrybarry [00:09] hello thorsten11 [00:09] sebsebseb....lots of questions from you......any ideas? [00:09] apocalypt: do you happen to have a link handy? [00:09] guyster: You don't see it under the places menu? It should show up as a flash drive. [00:09] brad_: I understand. An ide cable supports one master and one slave. So the jumper settings will depend on whether there's something else on the cable or not and what the other thing is set to... [00:09] Mike_lifeguard: Karmic? [00:09] yea [00:09] i have another set to slave [00:09] dante123: Anyway in Ubuntu 9.04, Ext4 is not properly stable, because of the kernel they have and such. Well it's been fine for me with 9.04. [00:09] 1st partition = 9.10 with grub2, 2nd partition= swap file, 3rd partition= 9.04 derivative (jolicloud) [00:10] i got a problem with a computer unable to install ubuntu desktop 9.10 . i boot to the cd.

[00:10] how do i make GRUB re-detect the operating systems? i cannot access Ubuntu on there because i have to update the entries in order to be able to do that... [00:10] apocalypt, epinky: thanks [00:10] ok ill be back [00:11] sebsebseb http://www.jolicloud.com/ [00:11] racecar56 /usr/sbin/update-grub will find your installed kernels and put them in the grub menu [00:11] brad_: ok, don't do this without shutting down your system first, ok? [00:11] Mike_lifeguard: http://pastebin.com/ma889a5b [00:11] anybody have any ideas? [00:11] dante123: yeah thanks :) something I can vm [00:11] spiffman: i can't get ubuntu to boot, that's the problem. [00:11] dante123: normally grub will be installed on the first disk automatically. if u install grub from 9.04 on the root disk of 9.04 it should effect the grub on the first disk. after that make a update-grub2 on karmic partition [00:11] dante123: plus I quite like Ubuntu 9.04, except a thing or two [00:11] racecar56 so you get to grub menu and you have no working OS to boot into?

[00:39] Jonzbcc: No the aritcle you linked me, do i insert the code? Can it be anywhere in the file? [00:39] Crash1hd: what kind of filesystem is it, btw? [00:40] losha: its ext3 and it says that its in use [00:40] right, that code is what represents the "windows" boot option in your config file [00:40] losha: i dont see how since my lite on drive works on the same cable [00:40] hi i am having trouble installing a modem on this box - i am clueless about linux but i have tried using the CD rom with the install [00:40] losha: Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program <--is what it says [00:40] Nooneshere: did you see my "the order in which.." message? (I forgot to address it to you, scroll up and see) [00:41] Crash1hd: yes, you need to unmount it first. You might need to boot into single user mode if you can't unmount it [00:41] losha: right [00:41] Nooneshere, dont edit the grub menu manually get grub-install to recheck for new OSs [00:41] Is there anyway to switch desktop mode to classic in ubuntu netbook remix 9.10?? [00:41] losha: umount: /dev/sdc is not mounted (according to mtab) [00:41] Retro198909: then that just leaves a faulty burner. They do go bad you know. All those high-precision moving parts... [00:41] Phantomcircuit, i have done so, twice already, with no avail. [00:42] Nooneshere: do you understand what I mean, now? [00:42] losha: its like brand new [00:42] Jonzbcc: No clue. But i am rebooting, i hope it works.. [00:42] hey, which language is best for gui? and how one novice like me jump into gui designing?

[00:43] \exit maranhao [00:43] uehuhe [00:43] Crash1hd: your system seems to be behaving a little oddly. If you have anything valuable on /dev/sdc I'd back it up now. Then boot to single-user mode and force an fsck on it. The messages you're seeing aren't normal. I'm worried the file system is corrupted... [00:43] gui designing ? [00:43] Muhammad rules the world [00:43] can someone with gnome please try: `cd ~/Desktop; nautilus ./` and tell me if they get error messages [00:44] losha: thats always good lol hmm I wouldnt even know this if it wasnt the fact that I just wanted to rename the drive [00:44] are there any resources that document how to install a modem - or has a copy of the scanmodem program? [00:44] Retro198909: return it to the store? Or try it in another machine [00:44] losha: how do I boot into single user mode? [00:44] Slart: Did you find any more information on finding out the boot time? [00:45] hello? someone please try the command for me? [00:45] Crash1hd: what os version are you running? [00:45] losha: I dont have another pc to test it on [00:46] Slart: :D /var/log/kern.log.1:Dec 7 10:40:13 backupserver kernel: [15222636.581238] usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 103 [00:46] losha: I got it from newegg but I should be able to rma since I had a 2 year warranty [00:46] Slart: thnx buddy [00:46] losha: well I would tell you but the about doesnt seem to want to load properly [00:46] Slart: you are way more helpful than LjL :) [00:46] Retro198909: use a friends? There aren't a lot of alternative ways to test hardware.... [00:47] Crash1hd: your system doesn't sound very healthy. I'm worried. Open a terminal and type cat /etc/issue [00:47] i am unable to login to gnome on ubuntu 9.10 any ideas [00:48] tvaughn: Can you be a bit more vague?

[00:49] tvaughn: can you login as console? [00:49] yes [00:49] Crash1hd: ok, so when you reboot, you press escape and should get a grub menu. Select the first entry that says 'single' or recovery. That should get you a boot prompt where you can fsck any disk [00:49] i installed libdvdread4. then i did sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [00:49] hi folks, can anyone tell me how to add a biosflash.img (an image to upgrade bios) to grub2 ? I just cant get it. [00:49] tvaughn: ok so your X is failing to start? so your computer isnt crashing just the Graphical login screen?

[00:52] prettyhatem turn remote desktop sharing on with the user that needs access, then "Switch User" to your session that should do it [00:52] thanks everyone [00:53] During an install, I got this msg...Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable...since I get this a lot, I better learn how to handle it. Any takers? [00:53] Retro198909: I thought you pay shipping back to newegg even for DOAs. In which case I'd want to be sure before I returned it. Btw, the samsungs seem to get good reviews. I use them myself... [00:53] losha: oh I was thinking of #shutdown -rF now [00:53] prettyhatem *note* I have not actually done it, but that "should" work [00:54] Crash1hd: in my 9.10 system, shutdown doesn't seem to have a -F switch per the man page... [00:54] starcannon doing this will allow both users to keep being logged in and able to use their desktops? [00:54] I know it says that i have full disk but i was told that i dont. I do not know how to fix this. I also can not update anything and i have broken packages which i can not fix [00:54] prettyhatem I believe so long as you use the fast user switcher agent it should work yes [00:54] k thanks a ton [00:54] prettyhatem be sure not to log the other account out, come back and ask again if it does not work [00:55] k i will try [00:56] helllo [00:56] hi [00:56] is it posible to install wirelles driver with wine [00:56] ?

[00:58] justine777w, mount [00:59] starcannon been trying to help people ha but everything above my head ha [00:59] How do I view what partition I am using? [00:59] ardchoille, nope. what's weird is that conky is running fine [00:59] losha: well it seemed to work and now its doing a check (going to take awhile as it was at 3% for the big drive if you are still around when its all done I will let you know how it goes [00:59] justine777w: fdisk -l (will need sudo) === joseph is now known as Guest18907 [00:59] mazda01: Nautilus manages the desktop icons and right click menu. Restart nautilus and see if that helps. [00:59] thank you [00:59] Crash1hd: good luck... [00:59] justine777w: actually `df -ah` [00:59] ardchoille, what, sudo /etc/init.d/nautilus restart? [01:00] If software X. (dependency)installs with no .pc file how can the dependent program find X. [01:00] mazda01: no, just start up a nautilus window [01:00] x org wont restart [01:00] mazda01: And don't use sudo for anything unless you know you actually need it [01:01] hey!! im just installing ubuntu for the first time, and im having some troubles with grub, could you please help me? [01:01] mazda01: you could try in a terminal: gconftool -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -t bool true [01:01] ardchoille, i am aware of when to use sudo. I've been using debian based linux for over 5 years now. I wasn't sure if nautilus had a startup script for controlling the desktop icons. starting a nautilus window didn't do anything. [01:02] anyone?:P [01:02] mazda01: did you somehow turn off the desktop? [01:02] mman could you be more specific? [01:02] starcannon, that was it but conky went away. I know how to restart that though. [01:02] ardchoille, not on purpose. HA HA [01:02] guys, i've been reading for 30 min or so, and i'm still pretty confused about LVM :( [01:03] mazda01: good [01:03] mazda01: yeah, looks like you turned off the desktop at some point, thanks starcannon [01:03] np, np :) [01:03] anyone set up an LVM before? [01:03] well, i installed ubuntu after windows xp, but then I couldnt boot ubuntu, so i went into the live cd and tried something, then i restarted and i just have like a shell that starts with grub [01:03] abuqutaita: I did [01:04] abuqutaita: yes. [01:04] starcannon, my .conkylaunch script didn't restart conky. [01:04] well maybe someone can resolve this issue, I got a message saying disk has many bad sectors... I ran tests and its fine, what do I do [01:04] after i find out which partition i am running i was told to run sudo fsck -a /dev/sda2 but it says it is risky? I am trying to fix the No space left on device problem. Will that fix it? [01:04] mazda01: I don't use conky so I dunno, sorry :( [01:04] berrybarry, tried fscking the disk? [01:04] cast: could you help me out with some setup issues i'm having? [01:04] mman: what do you mean by "so i went into the live cd and tried something"? [01:04] berrybarry: install smartmontools and also rune2fsck from live [01:04] hi. i did this: sudo apt-get install totem-xine. but when i run "totem-xine", i get "command not found." pls help [01:04] run* [01:05] mazda01: I use conky, but I don't use a script to launch it. What does your script do? [01:05] abuqutaita: maybe. [01:05] cast: alright, heh. [01:05] well, i boot from the live cd, and mounted the partition where linux was instaled [01:05] i have 5 HDDs in this system, 80, 160, 250, 250, and 320gb [01:06] i'll use the 80gb for all system stuff, but i wanted to use the other 4 for storage [01:06] ardchoille, it does this, http://pastebin.com/f468ecd86 [01:06] then i did a backup of the MBR and then installe the grub again in the MBR, I restarted and the "grub shell" appeared [01:06] i'm assuming just concatenating the 4 disks using an LVM is my best option here [01:06] after i find out which partition i am running i was told to run sudo fsck -a /dev/sda2 but it says it is risky? I am trying to fix the No space left on device problem. Will that fix it? [01:06] DasEi I have smartmontools installed [01:07] mazda01: Is there any particular reason you need conky to wait before launching? [01:07] ardchoille, it runs, nevermind. it just took awhile because of the sleep command [01:07] justine777w: what exactly is wrong? [01:07] mazda01: ok [01:07] cast: is that true? [01:07] jonzbcc- i can not update anything and i have broken packages and it says i do not have space left on device [01:08] yellowrooster: I believe the command is still 'totem' even if you're running the xine version. [01:08] justine777w, dont run fsck on a mount partition. use a tool like gaparted live to adjust volume sizes [01:08] justine777w: it says you *don't* have space, but you do? [01:08] abuqutaita: i wouldn't. [01:08] cast: then? [01:08] yellowrooster: i see. i am looking at the "about totem movie player" window. and it still says "movie player using GStreamer 0.10.25", even after I installed totem-xine. why? [01:08] EastDallas, did you get what I said? [01:08] jonzbcc: yes thats what i was told. I have a whole forum on it. [01:09] mman: researching.... [01:09] spiderbatdad: i do not understand [01:09] justine777w: you started a whole thread? [01:09] thanks ;) [01:09] i have a long radio show track where one of the guys on the mic is louder there everyone else. is there a way no bring all the levels on the track to around the same amplitude with audacity? [01:09] jonzbcc: yes i did. want the link? [01:09] abuqutaita: disks fail all the time [01:09] justine777w: sure [01:09] jonzbcc: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yelp/+question/93989 [01:09] Hello does anyone know if there are any apps that can interpret a good brainfuck? Only beef? [01:09] ardchoille, so the desktop can load. i read about it on ubuntuforums [01:10] cast: then what to do? [01:10] mazda01: I used conky in gnome and didn't need anything like that, conky just ran normally with the default command upon autostart [01:10] ardchoille, now I know you think my desktop didn't load because of my conky script but i can assure you that I have been running this conky setup since feisty and I have never had a desktop problem. not sure why it was off? [01:11] good evening all :) [01:11] ardchoille, maybe it runs ok now but i remember back in feisty i had to do it for some reason [01:11] berrybarry: did you get my last message ? [01:11] abuqutaita: whatever suits your purpose === laetzer_ is now known as laetzer [01:11] mazda01: Ah, ok. You might check your conky now that you're on a newer release and see if you need that script. [01:11] i just did an apt-get upgrade on my server.. and it updated my linux-image-2.6.28-17 package... after which it won't boot anymore ("error running install command for fuse") [01:12] is this a known problem/bug ? and does anyone know how to fix it ? [01:12] i can still boot using other kernels... but none of them support my hardware... [01:12] ardchoille, something about the background image not appearing also. i don't remember why exactly [01:12] nohup: Ubuntu is full of bugs actually. [01:12] jonzbcc: i also have a huge red circle with a white line thru it where the update manager is [01:12] mazda01: nautilus also manages the wallpaper [01:12] LinuxGuy2009: everything is.. but that doesn't help me much :) [01:12] DasEi I typed rune2fsck in google got no searches and could I type that in ternimal in ubuntu without live? [01:12] cast: it's going to just be a file server... but not for backups [01:12] i'd just like the kernel to boot again... [01:13] nohup: The debian version of whatever app your using will be very stable. [01:13] yes, awesome.. [01:13] this server runs ubuntu [01:13] not debian :) [01:13] ardchoille, i am running conky 1.6.1-0ubuntu4, i'll look into running conky without sleep at some point. thanks [01:13] EastDallas, I could boot with the live cd, and from there reinstall grub [01:13] gotta go now. bye everyone [01:13] DasEi no I did not get last message === TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple [01:13] so It seems I am missing "grub-update" script on my Ubuntu 9.10 install. Is there a way to install this script? [01:13] nohup, i'm not aware of this bug. And thats very strange, sorry to hear that. [01:14] mman, were you getting the windows boot menu first then a message that said 'loading grub' if you chose ubuntu before you messed with the MBR? === Exaltia_ is now known as Exaltia [01:14] lazyPower: it kinda looks like something broke in the initrd image or something... [01:14] sadly i don't think ubuntu keeps backups of those images before upgrading them... so i guess i'm screwed ? [01:15] hey all googled everywhere to find a definitive sloution to longstandin prob getting sound on remote desktop - the questions - is it possible, if so, how??? any help 'preciated muchly [01:15] i wouldn't think you're screwed... [01:15] justine777w: i'm still reading, but I think i'm at the part of advice that was given about "" [01:15] jrib: mpd+mpc looks perfect but it's not working for me... did you have to do anything after install? [01:15] jonbcc: given about what? [01:15] can you boot a live cd and re-do the update? [01:15] workstation: Do you have update-grub? [01:15] EastDallas: no, at the very first it just booted windows directly, no option to boot grub or ubuntu, so then I did what I said, now it appears like a shell like grub [01:16] berrybarry: the utility smartmontools provides let's you check for bad sectors and also updates the hd's - self report [01:16] lazyPower: nope.. can't use any other boot device... [01:16] hello, okay, i didn't see anything after my last message, I had to disconnect [01:16] it boots from an usb stick... [01:16] justine777w, have you been able to boot the live cd and run fsck? [01:16] Flannel, yes [01:16] mman is Ubuntu installed in it's own partition, or a virtual partition? [01:16] nohup, then from what i tell, you very well may be. but i'm by no means a master. My dark voodoo only goes so far :P [01:16] <_cb> lsusb does not consistenlty detect my usb headphones. Any ideas? [01:16] DasEi ok sounds like a plan, what do I type in ternimal? [01:16] i have no cd/hdd or whatsoever in it.. but i CAN boot another image.. [01:16] Jonzbcc sorry thought you left [01:16] EastDallas own partition [01:16] spiderbatdad: I do not know what that means. I was told to do that but I do not know how. I tried and It did not work [01:17] nohup, right with zero hardware support right? [01:17] Flannel, wow, how silly do I feel [01:17] Flannel, thank you [01:17] jonbbc: just let me know if you need anymore information [01:17] Is Ubuntu Server edition based on the same packages and repos as the desktop version? [01:17] lazyPower: hehe, not zero.. it just doesn't recognize the wifi... so i don't have internet :) [01:17] workstation: No worries :) [01:17] spiderbatdad: np, more help the better. [01:17] I mean the same unstable packages. [01:17] well.. i can fiddle with that and get masquarade working through my laptop [01:17] Flannel, I do have another question. [01:17] !clone [01:17] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [01:18] nohup, lol. well... what about a USB stick?cant you boot a live image from USB? [01:18] then mount the hdd, and chroot into it and re-apply the update that way? [01:18] justine777w: they're suggesting you boot from a livecd, before I tell you "download one" , can you post the output of the following to a pastebin (eg pastebin.com): `df -ah` [01:18] jonzbcc: pastebin? [01:18] Flannel, If I mount a partition that contains the /boot/grub folder and files, would I be able to run "update-grub" on that partition while mounted on it? [01:18] justine777w: yes, visit http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ [01:19] justine777w: run `df -ah` in your command line, and pate the output to that^ website, then show us the link [01:19] update-grub looks for /boot/grub, so if you mount "boot/grub" at "/", then yes. [01:19] Flannel, great, thanks [01:19] <_BLACK_MAN_> Hello [01:19] berrybarry: it's a time ago I had to do that, looking myself for my note, see man smartctl meanwhile [01:19] <_BLACK_MAN_> black man her [01:19] <_BLACK_MAN_> black man here [01:19] <_BLACK_MAN_> i enjoy using ubuntu [01:19] _BLACK_MAN_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:19] mman: I know you didn't reinstall windows, but I think this tutorial might help you with your problem: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7 [01:20] jonzbcc: done [01:20] <_BLACK_MAN_> i highly enjoy the use of ubuntu [01:20] hi there, I am looking for some help concerning the nvidia driver, after installation i get a black screen... [01:20] justine777w: okay, so now you have to give us the link ot that page [01:20] <_BLACK_MAN_> salvo [01:20] justine777w, linky? [01:20] <_BLACK_MAN_> that is a common error [01:20] <_BLACK_MAN_> you need install ORT-8a subset protocols [01:20] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/342269/ [01:20] DasEi ok? [01:20] Hi, does anyone know of a ppa repo that provies fuse 2.8.x? [01:21] * airtonix wishs pastebinit was installed by default [01:21] nohup: Ubuntu server seem as buggy as desktop? I just wonder how they compare as far as stability goes. Just as many bugs? Use the same repos as the desktop repos? [01:21] berrybarry: first enable smart on that drive [01:21] Anyone know if there's an IRC support channel for Evolution? [01:21] _BLACK_MAN_: Please stop [01:21] justine777w: do you have an external media (say a thumb drive) or a bigger thing of usb somewhere? [01:21] lol [01:21] hello all, im very new to linux and i installed the latest ubuntu server but also i insatlled the xubuntu dekstop, i read in the ubuntu webpage that the ubuntu desktop version have different kernel configuration than the server one, so if i installed the xubuntu desktop im i gonna keep the server kernel? [01:21] jonzbcc: i dont think so [01:21] justine777w, your partition is only 3.7? [01:21] EastDallas, so either i don it from windows or live cd right? [01:21] DasEi I believe I already did that... and that command is? thx [01:21] is there somebody able to give me some real advice... [01:21] spiderbatdad: i know. [01:22] CEO: Correct, but you can switch your kernel (from -server to -generic) if you want as well [01:22] airtonix: well, it's just an apt-get away, isn't it? [01:22] is everything ok if xorg uses 129 MiB of RAM? [01:22] justine777w: you have to give your root (/) partition some of that space your "home" is taking up. [01:22] mman: look at option 3 [01:22] spiderbatdad: do you know how to do that? [01:22] jonzbcc: how do i do that [01:22] anyone know of an alternative to GnuDIP? It's basically a server like dyndns [01:22] mman: you can get to the grub> prompt right? [01:23] DasEi on a dial up internet connection ha? [01:23] thanks flannel [01:23] justine777w, lets see # sudo fdisk -l [01:23] mman: I believe you choose one of those three options. [01:23] did anyone have an answer for my login problem [01:23] EastDallas, yes im having the grub> promt, but the problem i get is that the command "fiind" appears as unknown [01:23] spiderbatdad: paste in paste site? [01:23] one more question. If i want to install gcc i can do it via cd-rom? in case i dont have a internet connection [01:23] yes [01:24] mman: Then I guess you'll have to use one of the other options [01:24] CEO: Yeah, build-essential is on the CDrom [01:24] phix: did you know how i can find whats wrong? [01:24] jonzbcc, i would use gparted live myself cause im a perpetual noob [01:24] spiderbatdad: do i use the #?> [01:24] berrybarry: sudo smartctl -s on /dev/WhatEver (sudo fdisk -l lists your drives) ((no, shot my vm)) [01:24] justine777w, command is sudo fdisk -l [01:24] CEO: Afer you install, put the CD back in, and then add it to your repositories (Ubuntu will do this automatically, I don't know if xubuntu does, but you can use `apt-cdrom add -`) then apt-get update, and apt-get install build-essential [01:25] Flannel, even so, that will only populate the partitions on the laptop hd, not the usb hd. [01:25] spiderbatdad: that's fine, but can you resize partitions without estroying data? [01:25] spiderbatdad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/342273/ [01:25] there are probably more efficient ways like dd but idk [01:25] thanks flannel [01:25] :) [01:26] jonzbcc, thats what gparted live does...shrink one grow the other [01:26] mman: I'm pretty sure that when you install ubuntu after windows it still starts with (windows) ntldr, and displays the windows boot menu. It only goes to grub after you choose Ubuntu. (someone correct me if I'm wrong as this might only be the case with virtual partitions.) [01:26] see yaa all [01:26] #ubuntu-mythtv [01:26] i have a problem when i try to login to my computer running 9.10, the graphical login screen is there, you try to login and it tries to load then crashes back to the graphical login screen [01:26] spiderbatdad: syeah, but without destroying data? I've never done it to my own filesystem, only to external devices. [01:26] DasEi which do I want? HPFS/NTFS EXTENDED LINUX OR LINUX SWAP /SOLARIS [01:27] jonzbcc, I have used it successfully many times [01:27] spiderbatdad: doesn't it also look like one of sda1 and sda3 aren't even being used [01:27] I need an archive manager to handle .rar archives, and the default one doesn't work. [01:27] EastDallas, after reinstaling grub, now appears this "grub shell" [01:27] spiderbatdad: or 1 & 3 rather [01:27] Can't seem to get sound running under wine [01:28] EastDallas, i will try the live cd option [01:28] Fezzler, you have to run winecfg and select a sound server -- I suggest ALSA [01:28] jonzbcc, not according to fdisk [01:28] mman: try the live cd option [01:28] EastDallas, i will tell you, let me try, thanks for now!!!! ;) [01:28] berrybarry: more than one drive ? [01:28] best idea to change to ubuntu :D [01:28] well, fdisk is showing devices, I think df actually shows whats mounted [01:28] spiderbatdad: ^AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [01:28] mman good luck! [01:28] spiderbatdad: (sorry about the "A") [01:28] DasEi I have dual boot with windows [01:29] df is diskfree, mount shows mounted, jonzbcc [01:29] berrybarry: which reported errors ? [01:29] jonzbcc, swap and hpfs [01:29] arkanabar>> In winecfg, Audio tab, ALSA Driver checked, Test Sound does produce sound - but app doesn't [01:29] DasEi Ubuntu has the bad sectors.. [01:30] ohai [01:30] berrybarry: device is called ? [01:30] Fezzler, have you read up on your app at appdb.winehq.org ? [01:30] spiderbatdad: oh right, okay, ignore me -also, DasEi's right [01:30] DasEi I assume its Linux sda5 [01:30] berrybarry: sda so, it's hd not partition [01:30] jonzbcc, i'm sure you're more capable of the two of us so i wouldnt ignore you [01:30] arkanabar>> No, I will do that. Notes there on running apps under wine? [01:30] berrybarry: sudo smartctl -s on /dev/sda [01:30] hi there, I got the black screen of death after installing the nvidia drivers, anybody can help? [01:31] spiderbatdad - jonzbcc - dasEi - so what do i do? [01:31] Fezzler, you bet. Without it, I would never have gotten Ventrilo working. Or WoW. [01:31] arkanabar>> New to win. Installed to use Reaper to record guitar. Not going well. [01:31] DasEi thx its enable [01:31] hello [01:31] justine777w: i'm thinking (and reading some of your thread again) === ubuntu is now known as Rafael [01:31] jonzbcc- okay thanks [01:31] berrybarry: sudo smartctl --test=long /dev/sda [01:31] i wana get effects for the windows [01:31] I'm trying to save my WD External HDD [01:32] berrybarry: size of the hd ? [01:32] It wont mount [01:32] and I want to save the files I have there [01:32] justine777w, I would burn a copy of gparted live...boot from it and shrink the ajoining partition and expand / into. [01:32] I get to see it on the disk utility [01:32] Rafael: sudo fdisk -l finds it ? [01:32] but only part of it [01:32] it has 2 partitions [01:32] DasEi I have 90gbs free === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [01:32] justine777w: well, if the thread's suggestion works, you'll be in the clear: that's booting externally (like from a LiveCD) and then running the `fsck` to repair the system on your computer. [01:32] spiderbatdad: i do not understand === jfox1 is now known as drfox [01:33] berrybarry: Iasked for the whole disk to determine time for test [01:33] no it does not show on sudo fdisk -l [01:33] jonzbcc: can you please explain how to do that? [01:33] it is on /dev/sdb [01:33] DasEi 75mins [01:33] FileRoller isn't able to open .rar archives, what should I use? [01:33] only shows /dev/sda [01:33] justine777w, booting the gparted live will make things more obvious...have a look and ask questions before risking any changes [01:33] justine777w: I think you should burn a livecd of Ubuntu (not just gparted live). [01:33] arkanabar>> My app not in WineHQ [01:33] justine777w, its just my two cents [01:33] berrybarry: k, let's try with the short then, abort by ctrl+c [01:33] arkanabar, install unrar-nonfree first [01:33] berrybarry: sudo smartctl --test=short /dev/sda [01:33] jonzbcc: I have the ubuntu 8.04 installation cd...use that? [01:33] Fezzler, out of ideas. Sorry. [01:33] !who | Rafael [01:33] Rafael: 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 :) [01:34] justine777w, jonzbcc may have another idea [01:34] !who | Rafael [01:34] arkanabar>> Thanks [01:34] hey all googled everywhere to find a definitive sloution to longstandin prob getting sound on remote desktop - the questions - is it possible, if so, how??? any help 'preciated muchly [01:34] kostkon, thanks. [01:34] arkanabar, and the you'll be able to open rar files with fileroller [01:34] then* [01:34] DasEi 2mins ha cool [01:34] or even a solution* [01:34] !pm | Rafael [01:34] Rafael: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [01:34] DasEi it is on /dev/sdb [01:34] justine777w: you have 2 issues: no space left, and package-errors. correct? [01:35] DasEi but it wotn show up on sudo fdisk -l [01:35] 2~ [01:35] !livecd | justine777w [01:35] justine777w: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [01:35] Rafael: sda and sdb are two hd's , partition nmber ? [01:35] DasEi: ? [01:35] jonzbcc: i guess [01:35] DasEi: yes the sdb is the WD 500GB My passport [01:35] DasEi: sda is the laptop hdd [01:35] how can i unmount my partition so i can divide it? [01:35] ubottu: so use the ubuntu 8.04 cd and click on what option? [01:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:35] Rafael: with the firmware on it ? [01:35] justine777w: do you understand what the livecd is? booting from a livecd will allow you to try to tackle both problems. [01:35] Ok, I have an old DOS BBS door game that I want to put online, so people can play it. Is there a way I can let people ssh into a box, and have them be able to run an old dos program from the cli? [01:36] RedLance: yep [01:36] RedLance: set up sshd [01:36] hey all googled everywhere to find a definitive solution to longstandin prob getting sound on remote desktop - the questions - is it possible, if so, how??? any help 'preciated muchly [01:36] DasEi: ??? [01:36] jonzbcc: no i do not. i am sorry. i have the ubuntu 8.04 installation cd which has options on it, but i do not know if it the LiveCd? [01:36] RedLance: and game accounts i guess to all interested [01:36] Rafael: that hd comes with a firmware I think upbuntu has difficulties with [01:36] DasEi: on disk utility it shows teh hdd but not all the 500gb [01:36] justine777w: i suggest you do the following: if when you turn on your computer (with your installation cd inserted) you see an option that says "try ubuntu without any changes", then select that [01:37] is there any downloag manager for ubuntu like the dowmload manager for windows which boosts the down load speed by 300 % [01:37] DasEi: it didnt have trouble before until I tried partitioning it [01:37] anybody using backtrac 4 here? [01:37] jonzbcc: i was told to do that but i did not see that option. i can try again, but what if i dont see the option and if i do then what after that? [01:37] cheeko: no dl manager boosts speed by 300% [01:37] Rafael: sudo fdisk -l [01:37] cheeko: but you can use curl [01:37] night, Then what? Will dosemu work from the command line? [01:38] justine777w: if you don't see a way of booting live, than you'll have to download a copy of the latest ubuntu.iso and make a live cd of it (do this either on a friends machine, or at a library, if there's a cd burner, or if you have a thumb drive of at least 1GB) [01:38] Rafael: sudo apt-get install pastebinit, sorry^ [01:38] how can i unmount my partition so i can divide it? [01:38] jonzbcc, /me headslap I see [01:38] cheeko: or aria2c [01:38] Rafael: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [01:38] justine77w: I found it confusing myself at first. The install CD is the LiveCD. [01:38] RedLance: well depends, if you set it up good it should work, right? [01:38] anybody using backtrack here [01:38] thanks eastdallas [01:38] RedLance: i mean if it works on your own box [01:38] RedLance: it works for everyone connecting to your box [01:38] jonzbcc, i wasnt looking at the whole disk I thought the partition was full === Aiya is now known as Laughing_God [01:38] help please, can't get mpc to add/play a file in mpd [01:38] yes cyberworm [01:38] justine777w: eastdallas is right, but sometimes (I'm pretty sure) you can't boot as a "livecd" as eastdallas says, sometimes its only an installer (i think) [01:39] drunkpunk: I don't think it's possible. The only thing I've ever seen do that was rdesktop to a remote windows machine. If you could find an rdesktop server for linux I suppose it might work. [01:39] ha can I suggest a idea to developers? [01:39] jonzbcc: can i download it from my computer? i have a burner and does it have to be 8.04? [01:39] Dmole: you need to make a playlist [01:39] cyberworm: it's based on intrepid, any ubuntu-question ? [01:39] night, I thought dosemu only worked under X? [01:39] justine777w: no, you can use the latest version of ubuntu [01:39] pastebinit? [01:39] Dmole: actually, you need to make a dot file aka mpd's config that has dir of your music stored [01:39] night: how? there is nothing in man mpc about that [01:39] cheeko, check http://netfleet.sourceforge.net/ [01:39] !paste | Rafael, and mind who [01:39] Rafael, and mind who: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [01:39] night: got that [01:39] RedLance: never tried, but i know for a fact you can forward X via shell [01:39] jonzbcc: okay. where do i go to get the download? [01:39] DasEi its been 2 mins... [01:39] justine777w: here's the part to remember (for the time that you're booted of a livecd).. try the fsck (just as they suggested in your thread) [01:40] cheeko, or http://multiget.sourceforge.net/ [01:40] DasEi, im using the live cd [01:40] losha: so it aint poss on VNC? [01:40] DasEi, it didint find it [01:40] berrybarry: let it finish [01:40] justine777w: ubuntu.com's home page will have it [01:40] Rafael: ah [01:40] jonzbcc: i do not know how to try the fsck [01:40] night: can it play music from outside the path in the config? [01:40] hi people [01:40] drunkpunk: as far as I know, vnc doesn't do sound.... [01:40] Dmole: no [01:40] no sda4 has 79G available [01:40] me again [01:40] night, Hmmm, ok, I'll give it a shot, thanks! [01:40] Dmole: np [01:40] yesterday i said my sound problem [01:40] Rafael: did you try to format the external from live ? [01:40] justine777w: can I pm you? this is nauseating with all this chatter [01:40] night: thanks testing... [01:40] jonzbcc: yes [01:40] DasEi, it wont show up on gparted [01:41] losha: cheers mate, that kinda confirms my suspicions [01:41] and i get some helped, thanks [01:41] Rafael: did you try to format the external from live ? [01:41] justine777w: just a sec. [01:41] Dmole: check ubuntu wiki on mpd (if there is one) or archlinux wiki, there's a really good wiki entry on setting up mpd [01:41] ha can I suggest a idea to developers? a command that atomatically gives you a pastebin url with ternimal screen ha [01:41] but still i have no sound in my laptop [01:41] berrybarry: there's wgetpaste [01:41] berrybarry: pastebinit [01:41] :) [01:41] heh [01:41] kostkon, that worked. Thank you. [01:41] losha: any recommendations for an alternative to try? [01:41] thanks guys [01:41] arkanabar, :) [01:42] mesutcimeken: what os version? [01:42] losha: baring in mind i'm a total n00b user [01:42] this websiteshttp://www.opensound.com/wiki/index.php/Tips_And_Tricks#OSSLIBDIR [01:42] any of you guys using twitter? [01:42] night fb ha [01:42] Rafael: ? [01:42] night: yup [01:42] berrybarry: ? [01:42] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/d42b4a019 [01:42] drunkpunk: could you test my lil script for me? [01:42] night facebook [01:42] drunkpunk: nothing I know of that does remote sound, sorry... [01:42] DasEi: It will not show up on gparted. [01:42] What is "Jack" or "Jack Control" as related to audio. Alternative driver to ALSA OSS? [01:42] I am running Vbox 3.1 on ubuntu 9.10 trying to mount a raw partition but after grub i got error 15 ... any idea ? [01:42] i dont know [01:42] mesutcimeken, no sound at all? what have you tried so far? [01:43] drunkpunk: http://github.com/n1ght/clitter/ [01:43] i read and installed what it says [01:43] mesutcimeken: open a terminal and type cat /etc/issue [01:43] hello [01:43] berrybarry: ah no fb... [01:43] justine777w torrent is the fastest way to download the install CD: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt [01:43] Fezzler, Jack is an alternative to pulseaudio. [01:43] night: what's it do mate? [01:43] just a second [01:43] Rafael: If I get you right, the external is empty by now and you want to save your laptop to it ? [01:43] i wrote ages ago this script for twitter.. even forgot about it === darone is now known as Lindomar [01:43] drunkpunk: basically enables you to send tweet's from cli [01:43] drunkpunk: clitter == cli twitter [01:43] Fezzler, it's an audio multiplexer [01:43] airtonix>> What is pulseaudio? What are they for? [01:44] Fezzler: PA is evil. don't use that. [01:44] lol night, considering the past tense of a tweet, your cli name is hysterical [01:44] airtonix>> multiplexer? [01:44] Fezzler, think of it as a mixer for various sound drivers [01:44] drunkpunk: you know, I wouldn't run a total stranger's script even if you paid me... [01:44] DasEi: No, the external hdd has two or should have two partitions, one with all my personal data and another one with my laptop backup [01:44] Fezzler: well actually you're forced to use pa [01:44] !pulseaudio | Fezzler [01:44] Fezzler: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [01:44] night PA? === paulofreitas is now known as PauloRicardo [01:44] this is what terminal says [01:44] is there a way I can make hardlinks to directories? [01:44] DasEi: the personal data is fat32, the backup is ntfs [01:44] cat is /bin/cat [01:44] bash: type: /etc/issue: not found [01:44] starcannon: yeah clitter was intended to sound funny :D [01:44] Fezzler: pulseaudio. it's a really messy soundserver, unfortunately integrated deeply in ubuntu [01:45] night, messy? right... [01:45] and now my output icon from the bar has been gone also [01:45] night, i mean... wrong [01:45] Mainly, I'm trying to determine best sound recorder for laying down real guitar and software drums and other - mulit-track [01:45] kostkon: well it is, innit. i mean, integration... it's all so... messy [01:45] mesutcimeken: sorry, I can't help you... [01:45] losha: lol cheers for the heads up [01:45] DasEi: I want to be able to transfer my personal data to another hdd and format and clean the malfunctioning one [01:46] Fezzler: for serious multimedia work i'd suggest you make a win partition :) [01:46] Audacity is easy but Overdub produces "clicking" sound on second track [01:46] night, no. just some apps don't support it yet. [01:46] night 100% Ubuntu PC [01:46] kostkon: no, pa is evil. and soon you will see the light. [01:46] night: I don't think it's appropriate to ask strangers to run scripts for you on this channel.... [01:46] Rafael: connected via usb ? [01:46] mesutcimeken: The command is: cat /etc/issue and NOT: type cat /etc/issue [01:46] DasEi: yes [01:46] Rafael: sudo lsusb [01:47] losha: source code is public, they can check it.. and i need testers :D [01:47] i like ubuntu and i am a beginner but this program has soo many problem and i tired to fix it with hepl from the troubble list websites [01:47] So for beginner - stick with ALSA and avoid Jack? Seem complex to set up [01:47] losha: nothing wrong with that, innit? [01:47] genii: ah, I wondered how he got that wrong [01:47] but soo may solution but no one works [01:47] night: on a faceboot channel maybe, but not here... [01:47] maybe i couldnt do that? [01:47] fezzler: some programs require jack, but, yeah, they are more advanced for the most part.

[01:48] losha: I wrote the typo in the explanation for that reason :) [01:48] Question: new to ubuntu, - 9.10 amd64 advanced install: I have a 750GB HD. want to set up 1 system partition: got 25GB "/" main system drive, 10GB "swap". question is I want to set the rest of the drive as just storage, unsure on what mount point to use for this? I come from the windows world. thx [01:48] feifongwong: /home is where all of 'your' stuff goes, so that'd be a prime candidate [01:48] night: because periodically we get people trying to foist malicious scripts on unsuspecting users, and i don't know you from Adam... [01:48] Flannel ok thanks, will try it out [01:48] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/d623dee43 [01:49] losha: im on archlinux actually... and like i said, it's hosted on github and code is public... so if someone doesn't trust me they can just check the code prior to running [01:50] DasEi its been 2 mins.. ha [01:50] night: it aint so much that i dont trust you, more that i'm a bit useless! [01:50] feifongwong: by default home goes in / seperate home partitions can be rather useful. if you have a big seperate /home you only need like 10GB for / also SWAP space depends on how much RAM you have and if you want to hibernate the computer or not [01:50] cyberworm: u can go to #remote-exploit this is irc channel for back track hope this helps u out [01:50] Rafael: for some reason it's not recognized, I now from soft shipping with them that will ask (win) for a password and covers the parti-table , but you said you had to independent partitions on it [01:50] i did it again [01:50] don't really need swap, i don't bother with it :>: [01:50] feifongwong: if you have your home directory on another partition you can do a complete reinstall, and all of your data/settings are maintained. http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-move-home-directory-to-another-partition [01:50] same answer [01:50] drunkpunk: basically, just try to tweet from cli, from gui (-g option), tell me what you think should be added next and how you like it :D but anyway, if you don't feel like it no probs :) [01:50] night: the most vulnerable users couldn't read a piece of code to save their lives... [01:51] night: you really shouldn't be advertising in this channel [01:51] night: i can burn salad almost as easily as i balls up stuff on here [01:51] Rafael: so least found, paste the /var/log/syslog (I assume the drive was connected at bootup) [01:51] Question: new to ubuntu I just install ubuntu 9.10 on a 64bit machine, before i install ubuntu I was able to go online with the live Cd. But after I installed ubuntu my computer won't conect to the internet. HELP PLEASE!

[01:51] trism: i asked if someone is using twitter [01:51] night: I read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MPD#Daemon_Install_Procedure but I'm still having issues making a playlist [01:52] Dmole: how? [01:52] I am running Vbox 3.1 on ubuntu 9.10 trying to mount a raw partition but after grub i got error 15 ... any idea ? [01:52] Dmole: did you read ubuntu wiki first? [01:52] DasEi: I'm not sure if it was connected at boot up. I can just reboot and boot from my ubuntu installation? [01:52] is anybody who has an idea how can i fix my sound problem [01:52] dina: hard-wired or wifi? [01:52] Dmole: like i told you to do? [01:52] night: it's off-topic, surely. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic at the very least... [01:52] Rafael:sure [01:52] losha: ok ok, sorry [01:52] mesutcimeken, give details please [01:52] What does edd=on mean? [01:52] Dmole: anyway what are your issues with mpd? [01:53] i have sigma tel audio [01:53] EastDallas, sweet, it worked!! thanks! [01:53] dirver [01:53] driver === ballzee is now known as Sinister [01:53] Dmole: and hurry up with typing, my laptop battery is on last 5-10% [01:53] but i dont have a sound [01:53] richie0: `sudo fdisk -l` will show "Linux LVM" partitions (that command shows the partitions on the disk itself) [01:53] berrybarry: sudo smartctl --log=error /dev/sda ,when done the test [01:53] mman: Awesome! Glad I could help! [01:53] elfranne: you should ask vbox support for that : [01:54] night, you should find a power point [01:54] if you can help me to find info which you want ? [01:54] pls [01:54] mesutcimeken, ubuntu version? also, could you open a terminal and give: aplay -l and post the output at paste.ubuntu.com [01:54] airtonix: eh? [01:54] EastDallas, just have last question, someone was asking somthing i also had the problem [01:54] Flannel: so whatever shows up in that command is an lvm partition? so i can't use gparted on them? [01:54] EastDallas>> Hydrogen "crackles" - All I want is a working drum machine to lay some tracks :) [01:54] dina: hard-wired or wifi? [01:54] DasEi ill be in the offtopic room ha [01:55] wired [01:55] richie0: What? If it shows up as "Linux LVM" partitions, thats part of the LVM, if you see ext partitions, those are 'normal' partitions [01:55] EastDallas, the hd says it has several bad sectors, i run the fsdisk and it run, but nevertheless it still says i have problems :S [01:55] Fezzler does hydrogen require jack? [01:55] it says it is not instaled [01:55] should i install it [01:55] mman bad sectors? [01:55] night: can't make a playlist or play anything [01:55] Dmole: anyway, skip all part of arch wiki till you get to mpd.conf, that's same for every distro [01:55] mesutcimeken, you mean the terminal? [01:55] yes i have bad sectors [01:56] Dmole: did you make .mpdconf in your ~? [01:56] yes [01:56] dina: do you know what card is it? [01:56] mman: I got that too on both my desktop and laptop when I upgraded to 9.10...so far no problems...:s [01:56] mman same here ha from porn I think its a bug [01:56] night: I'm using the /etc/ one [01:56] Dmole: system wide? [01:56] Okay, increasing buffer seems to be eliminating crackling in Hydrogen [01:56] sigma tel audio [01:56] night: yes [01:56] Flannel: i'm sorry. i ran the command but nowheree does is say lvm or ext. [01:56] mman: that means your disk is failing. Make a backup of anything important immediately, then go shopping for a new disk [01:56] mesutcimeken, what version of ubutnu do you have? also, how did oyu try to access the terminal? [01:56] it's a realtek [01:56] night: it's a media server after all [01:56] hahaha so you think its actually a bug :P [01:56] berrybarry: um. no. adult images dont ruin hard disks [01:56] richie0: If you pastebin the output of it, I'll help sort it out [01:56] dina: realtek .... [01:56] Dmole: true, can you check if you have mpd.conf.example then installed somewhere? [01:57] So all, are there advantages of using JACK? [01:57] mesutcimeken, check in applications → accessories [01:57] i have ubuntu 9.10 [01:57] berrybarry: and ya know...we dont really need to know youve got that [01:57] Flannel: thank you! [01:57] mesutcimeken, you should have a "Terminal" menu item in there [01:57] maco ha ok === Guest68220 is now known as sysErroR [01:57] night: well I think the one i am using is a copy of that because it's full of comments [01:57] i am in the terminal now [01:57] Dmole: yep, you're using the copy then [01:57] mesutcimeken, oh good. now give: aplay -l [01:58] terminal says alsa is not installed , do you wanna install [01:58] mesutcimeken, hmm. interesting [01:58] night: I'm trying not to run mpd –create-db because it might take a year~ [01:58] mesutcimeken, ok. w8 [01:58] dina: post results of "sudo lspci" , use pastebin [01:58] someone had problems with open areno in ubuntu 9.10? [01:58] this linux install is a basic media PC, I just need a location to store all the movies, etc. I can reinstall the whole operation system will out worrying. [01:58] *open arena [01:58] feifongwong: /home [01:58] fezzler....if you want to try using it with jack, all you have to do is install jack (sudo apt-get install jackd) and Jack Control (sudo apt-get install qjackctl). Then you can open Jack Control from the sound and video menu, start jack, then open hydrogen. [01:58] Dmole: quick question, what is your error? [01:58] nice, thank you all you guys:) [01:59] night: no errors just no sound [01:59] Dmole: there *must* have been some output in terminal [01:59] mesutcimeken, actually, did you by any chance remove alsa and then tried to install oss? [01:59] Dmole: no sound only when you use mpd/ncmpc? [01:59] Dmole: or no sound at all [01:59] Flannel EastDallas sebsebseb : thanks [01:59] Flannel: here's that pastebin: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2690a21d i want to shrink my / partition and increase my windows. [01:59] When running 'xterm -e "gksu apt-get install " && read', the xterm will not accept or arrow keys. Any ideas? [01:59] yes i did [01:59] night: there is mpd said listing playlists return 0 and mpc said nothing [01:59] mesutcimeken, :/ [01:59] DasEi I would think its done :( [02:00] night: I have sound from mplayer [02:00] feifongwong: ok, and by the way you can move home to a seperate partition after install [02:00] night: and mpd said it found an oss driver to use [02:00] richie0: Those are standard linux partitions (ext, likely) not LVM, sorry, I thought it said ext3. Anyway, yes, you use gparted (from a liveCD) [02:00] i went to help website , and it says alsa can not support this kinda drivers thatsway you should install oss [02:00] Lately, my computer has been locking up randomly. There's no way out of it other than pushing the reset button. I thought it was the HD but it does it with the live cd too. Wanted to see if anyone had thoughts on how to fix this. [02:00] then everthing come worst [02:00] :) [02:00] mesutcimeken, could you tell me the reason, if you could [02:00] Dmole: ok can you check the line mixer_type? [02:00] hello its me rafael [02:00] Dmole: does it have # in front? [02:00] mesutcimeken, oh ok [02:00] I think it's not "no sound" so much as "no playlist or files playing" [02:01] DasEi: are you still here? [02:01] Flannel: thanks! is it as straightforward as setting up the partiotions during the install? [02:01] hi folks, I am updating some files in my web page via scp, but when access thefile via browser I still get the old version, if I remove it via ssh my browser still finds it, any ideas about what is happening? [02:01] mesutcimeken, hmm [02:01] coolcat: Cache issue. [02:01] coolcat: Or you're uploading the wrong files. :)) [02:01] In Windows, I can record sounds from my computer (like YouTube audio) in Audacity by selecting Stereo Mixer - Can't do that in Ubuntu Audacity? Why? [02:01] richie0: Pretty much, yeah. Shrink one, expand the other (well, its a bit more complicated because you're moving the beginning, but I believe gparted takes care of all of that nowadays) [02:01] Dmole: hmm btw on ubuntu you probably have pa so you need to allow mpd access to audio system [02:01] fezzler: The coolest thing about jack is that it's set up just like real audio equipment, so you can add filters and effects to be used in real time or with recorded audio. just open Synaptic and search on Jack. YOu can install a bunch of the components, start jack as I stated earlier, and then play around with jack stack and jack eq, etc... [02:01] Flannel: cool. thaks for the help. [02:02] oss didnt work... should i install again or what ? [02:02] Dmole: you do this by typing sudo usermod -aG pulse,pulse-access mpd [02:02] KB1JWQ, I'm sure I'm not, so ... clean the cache . [02:02] night: cat /etc/mpd.conf |grep mixer_type is all commented out [02:02] fezzler, you can do it using the patch panel on jack. [02:02] Dmole: uncomment mixer_type "software" [02:02] night: yes pulse is correct [02:02] Is there a way to log Ubuntu so I can see what's going on when it crashes? [02:02] Dmole: (i think) [02:02] Dmole: yep, in your var/log [02:02] errr [02:02] Dezine: var/log [02:03] DasEi no errors logged [02:03] ok ty [02:03] I need help with my USB WD HDD [02:03] When it locks up not even the MagicSysKey trick works [02:03] fezzler: PatchBay, not patch panel [02:03] mesutcimeken, eh, hmm, i think it would be better to install alsa again. but for now, could you give this in a terminal: lspci | grep audio [02:04] rafase282: is it mounted? [02:04] > in ktorrent the torrent which is the top most gets to be donloaded but in normal bit torrent i f ther are 3 torrents to be dloaded all of them work simultaneously [02:04] i did it didnt do anything [02:04] Dezine: like i said, check your var/log [02:04] mesutcimeken, no output?! hmm [02:04] epinky: it wont mount [02:04] Dmole: did you uncomment mixer_type "software" ? [02:05] Which file? There are a ton. [02:05] Dmole: and allow mpd to access audio? [02:05] night: did both and mpc add test.mp3 did nothing [02:05] rafase282: sudo fdisk -l [02:05] Dmole: o, [02:05] no output ? haa ! [02:05] mesutcimeken, then, could you give: lspci [02:05] mesutcimeken, what type of pc do you have? is it a laptop? [02:06] laptop [02:06] lg le 50 [02:06] Dmole: so sudo usermod -aG pulse,pulse-audio mpd didnt help? [02:06] night: mpd said "client 0: process command list returned 0" [02:06] berrybarry: so it seems you're fine, if smart reports no errors, sure it's not the filesystem (the longer test is more precise, though) re-check again by : [02:06] http://pastebin.com/f16463b9b [02:06] Dmole: err pulse-access* [02:06] epinky: http://pastebin.com/f16463b9b [02:06] Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Device 5a31 (rev 01) [02:06] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [02:06] 00:07.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [02:06] 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80) [02:06] 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80) [02:06] 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB2 Host Controller (rev 80) [02:06] mesutcimeken: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:13] mesutcimeken, ;) [02:13] thanks how should i paste it [02:14] im just securing my acer laptop before installing ubuntu on it. and i found out i have 3 partioins on it (PQSERVICE, SYSTEM RESERVED, and ACER) [02:14] i guess i only need to secure the MBR and the frist one [02:14] I'm trying to install ext2ifs on my windows computer so I can move files from there to my ubuntu computer. [02:14] BUT [02:14] it's not working [02:14] mesutcimeken, just paste the outputs of lspci and lsusb together and give us the link [02:14] im doing a dd ot them, any idea if i need to secure anything else? [02:14] and if/when the partitions are recognised, it says I have to format the drives. Does anyone know why?? ? [02:14] tar.bz2 ?? how do i install ??? [02:14] what [02:15] DasEi: it is too long === aolsmack is now known as fdgsdf [02:15] oo_seven: Acer has an F10 booting feature which is a disk-to-disk direct copy backup system. If you remove the "system reserved" make sure you turn off that feature in the bios [02:15] ShazbotMcNasty: it probably didnt install correctly [02:16] DasEi: http://www.zshare.net/download/69944849233510e8/ [02:16] I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, rebooted, uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled [02:16] everythinggggg [02:16] genii: i thought the F10 is part of the programm in the MBR, and uses the PQSERVICE [02:16] .tar.bz2 ?? how do i install ??? [02:16] ShazbotMcNasty: afaik, ext2fs is a driver to read ext2/ext3 partitions on windows [02:16] and assumed system reserved is part of windows [02:16] berrybarry: so you shouldn't get error messages then, disable smart to stop the annoyance, and frequently, depending on drives usage and age, run a test manually, hdparms nows an option, but that worked for ides mostly, not ata drives [02:17] this is the first link http://paste.ubuntu.com/342303/ [02:17] virustb: tar -xvjf yourfile.tar.bz2 ? [02:17] oo_seven: No idea how it specifically goes. However, I hosed an install with it by accident (after using entire drive for linux install) [02:18] ouch [02:18] and everything was gone [02:18] ? [02:18] oo_seven: Yes [02:18] ShazbotMcNasty: what do you use as filesystem? the current ubuntu releases uses ext4 by default the ext2ifs page doesnt say it supports ext4 [02:18] like the computer was put back into the INITIAL state after purchasing [02:18] DasEi: Disk utility says unrecognized, not partitioned [02:18] ShazbotMcNasty: also did you use the ext2ifs control panel thing to configure the partitions/volumes? [02:18] genii: i want to have linux and win in parallel [02:19] mgolisch, ext3, and is the control panel during installation? [02:19] oo_seven: coz my xubuntu seems to be unfortunatelly still to powerconsuming [02:19] kostkon did you get it ? [02:19] Question: how do i sync my mp3 player with Rhythmbox? [02:19] ShazbotMcNasty: no you open it from control panel and configure what drives to map a letter to [02:19] ShazbotMcNasty: etc [02:19] mesutcimeken, ah, let's see [02:19] Does anybody use mibbit as a gateway to their IRC channel?

[02:21] brent23: it doenst allow that? [02:21] brent23: gparted [02:21] mesutcimeken, eh, i believe it could work with alsa, maybe after installing the backported drivers [02:21] oo_seven: If your WiFi router does not broadcast the essid, you will need to manually set the client's essid.

[02:44] usr13 & maco, there was also some question that i need to enter some kind of password (keyring or something) and kept then asking me again and again if i allow access to some file [02:44] yes kostkon [02:44] ubuntu-user: You need to chroot to the system. Better to boot to rescue mode [02:45] oo_seven: the keyring stores your passwords [02:45] mesutcimeken, ok. eh, could you now give again: aplay -l and see if it will list your card [02:45] ubuntu-user https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:45] oo_seven: I really don't know much about configuring WPA authentication.

[02:57] oso3000: i know using the vlc player. it can let you do that. Not sure about other programs [02:57] on ls you put it as ls -c is the command to list entries by column? [02:58] oso3000 you could try alsamixer from the command line... not sure if that will help your situation or not [02:58] Dr_Willis, thanks but i meant for the whole system [02:58] a space in between the ls and the - c?

[03:25] webbb82, what is your natgeo2009.sh script supposed to do? [03:25] ectospasm, I understand that. The point of having a default group with only one user as member is that there's no problem with having full group rights on newly created files. That makes it easier to have full group rights on shared folders.

[03:25] check it out [03:26] oh, wall paper; i want their shows [03:26] JunTao: the idea is that you don't want root users on clients to have unrestriced access to your filesystem [03:26] yafc can't connect to server outside the local network [03:26] please suggest me a command-line ftp client that supports recursive upload [03:26] mezquitale: enter tor in trml [03:27] orenji_no_koibit: I already suggested ncftp [03:27] What puzzles me is why Ubuntu has, fred:fred and suzie:suzie, instead of fred:users and suzie:users, but doesn't go all the way with the concept and have a default umask of 002.

[03:30] There are a couple of other links to it. I ran into an explanation of the concept in "Essential System Administration." [03:31] ectospasm, I don't think you're understanding the question.

[03:44] tommyon: not sure what rxx the 200M is, but if it's old you're very very likely better off using the default open source driver.

I'm trying to get netbook 9.10 running on a friend's MSI Wind U100. I read that there's an option called "Discarded or shutdown, unless you save them elsewhere" that can be selected when using the usb-create package. I got the ISO on the USB thumb drive via debian and don't have a machine near by that's running a linux gui. Does anyone know what this option does exactly?

[03:47] ziggy: maybe try starting nautilus, its drasw the desktop view [03:47] draws [03:47] mgolisch, i suspect it may not be the bootloader, since it does unlock the encrypted filesystem, it just asks for the wrong one in /dev/mapper [03:47] alazyworkaholic, which package do I install from his PPA? xserver-xorg-video-ati? [03:47] alabd sudo su [03:47] rubin110: Discarded on shutdown? I'm guessing you're using a persistent desktop. Anything you did will be revert back to the starting point of the machine you firstly boot. [03:47] tommyon: I hope it works. I'm about to try it out for a newer card. [03:48] Bondy: how about in GUI ? [03:48] alazyworkaholic, I'm not sure which package to grab, though. [03:48] leaf-sheep: I can figure that, I'm asking what does this option do under the usb-creator package? [03:48] crypt-0-: hm maybe it pulls that from something else than fstab there might be some dedicated file it pulls that from when building the initramfs [03:48] leaf-sheep: I created the USB drive on a debian machine that's not running a gui. [03:48] leaf-sheep: Ah, I should mention that not having that option enabled seems to make the MSI Wind not want to boot up the livecd for 9.10 netbook remix. [03:49] Which is why I don't want to figure out what it does so I can see about changing it by hand. [03:49] mgolisch, i can try to make the root filesystem mount it the "wrong" place. That would fix it. [03:49] crypt-0-: what does your /etc/crypttab look like? [03:49] I am having an extremely hard time finding anything through google about what this option actually does.

I would not recommend for you to do that, it's just easier to type the password, youll get used to it [03:59] kitche: do you what should be done there in visudo ?

[04:12] even ubotto doesent know [04:12] cyberjorge: If you're using aptitude, I think it is -R [04:13] can someone point out the main disadvantages of installing ubuntu within windows, rather than partitioning? [04:13] !root [04:13] 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 [04:13] Jaikkuli: afaik disk performance goes down a bit but is otherwise nearly the same. [04:13] @supernatendo Yup [04:13] @jaikkuli relying on windows not messing up lol [04:13] alabd apart from logging in as root do a gksudo nautilus and run what you need from there that might work [04:13] Jaikkuli: Bloated. The filesystem is not linux native. Things work a bit differently. (Not that I have anything against Wubi). [04:14] Jaikkuli, it will take up a lot more resources due to the VM software. [04:14] Bondy: no that way is not useful [04:14] prappl93: vm? is this method really vm? [04:14] @Sn3ipe are you running an ati or nvidia card? [04:14] i just want to dual boot [04:14] prappl93: It's not a VM [04:15] alabd well learn to use the shell or login as root [04:15] @supernatendo ATI [04:15] thanks for your attentions for now we leave it Bondy [04:15] leaf-sheep: linux doesn't like ntfs? [04:15] @Sn3ipen and are you using the proprietary ati driver? [04:15] linux uses ntfs just fine lol [04:15] leaf-sheep: I use "apt-get install --without-recommends lxde-core" -r doesn't work either what the exact command? [04:15] ntfs just sucks compared to ext3 or ext4 [04:15] supernatendo: thnks, ill check that one out [04:16] alabd: there is a way, give me a second and I'll tell you how...just read something on this the other day [04:16] afk [04:16] Jaikkuli, all is reavealed here in second post on this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481219 [04:16] Jaikkuli: Linux can read NTFS -- I'm saying that linux resides on NTFS could be a problematic in long term because of how NTFS handle files. [04:16] @supernatendo no. I checked in hardware drivers but there aint any drivers for my card, so i gues its just using some open drivers. Its an Mobility Radeon x1400 btw. [04:16] cyberjorge: sudo aptitude install -R lxde-core -- Try that. [04:16] how does mythTV work? do you have to have some type of card?

I save 70% resources excluding the packaged apps in lxde. :D thank you so much [04:18] jonrob287: #ubuntu-mythtv [04:18] does anyone know how to mount an image file without root and without editing fstab? my regular devices (external hard disks) mount as regular user and I can unmount them from nautilus [04:18] Jaikkuli, also here : [ http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/wubi-or-vm-or-dual-boot ] and here : [ http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wubi.html ] [04:18] jonrob287: yeah, they might hurt your feelings [04:18] how do i save a file that i edit in the terminal i need to save and exit isnt it ctrl s?

[04:19] nope, not there [04:19] Jaikkuli, and lastly here : http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php [04:19] why are they so mean in there?

[04:21] itilious: When you installed Ubuntu, you had a choice to make partitions (to make room for other OSes) or to use the whole hard drive. [04:22] cyberjorge: Not really. I don't use much VM. [04:22] i see, thanks [04:22] how does ubuntu make devices umountable by the regular user? [04:22] leaf-sheep, i'm trying to use a secondary internal hard drive, which i never had a problem doing untill i installed ubuntu on my primary drive [04:23] lspic reveals that, according to Ubuntu, I have an "Intel Audio Card" when I have a SigmaTel Audio Card. Is there a way to get the SigmaTel drivers on here? [04:23] *lspci [04:23] itilious: try gparted [04:24] itilious: Ask in ##windows -- As far as I know, I think Windows like to be on first hard drive. [04:24] itilious have you formatted the secondary drive to ext3 or ext4 [04:24] windows bootloader has to be at the beginning of the master drive [04:25] Bondy: that's what I gathered alabd wanted to do, otherwise why wouldn't you just use gksu? [04:25] itilious: You could shut down, swap the hard drive. Unplug the Ubuntu HDD (to be on safe side) and install it. Configure the bootloader later. [04:25] what is ""enable accessible login " for ? [04:25] hi. i followed the instructions (install packages, plug in tablet, and reboot) for my new Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet. but it doesn't work after rebooting. [04:25] does ubuntu support trim? [04:25] Bondy, no there is no partition at all on it, i tried clearing everythign i could via gparted and still windows wont install on the second hard drive [04:26] @Sn3ipen you will need to enable the drivers for ATI for compiz to work properly [04:26] EastDallas: leave it doing so is not secure [04:26] the open drivers are reverse engineered as good as possible but some things wont work [04:26] alabd: why can't you just use sudo, or gksu? [04:26] itilious well if theres no partition on it you will need to format it to install on it does windows not give you the option? [04:26] click on system -> administration hardware drivers to enable it but you might want to backup xorg.conf first [04:27] Bondy, i can create the partition via the windows 7 disk but windows then says it can not use the partition [04:27] My terminal is saying "The following packages are BROKEN: ubuntu-desktop" How do I fix this? [04:28] your better off putting windows on your master drive or switch your hardrives internally so the one you want to put windows on is master...actually your better off just not running windows [04:28] Can i do hdmi audio AND regular output audio at the same time?" [04:28] prappl93: What did you do? :( ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It can be safely removed. The terminal also should give you options. [04:28] stealyourwife, i need to use it to simply capture anolog video though :( [04:29] leaf-sheep, I am trying to install the PROPER drivers for my sound card (SigmaTel) instead of the "Intel" ones it loaded for it, and the guide says to remove Alsa and then it said that [04:29] guys is there any chat client like gtalk in ubuntu [04:29] !tv | itilious [04:29] itilious: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [04:30] Currently the button mapping described above is being ignored by Hal. (As of 9.04 it appears that the button mapping is now applied correctly. Only use one method or the other.) This is particularly problematic if you want one of the small buttons to serve as middle click. A simple workaround is to remap what you need via xmodmap. As an example, let's map the small left button as middle click.

[04:32] by accident and lost years worth of data [04:32] yep, but MythTV is really meant for a pc that's dedicated for watching tv. [04:32] has anyone with DRBL experience? [04:33] the guides never mention anything about what to do if it;'s been reformatted [04:33] I'm planning on installing linux on my flashdrive for use at school. most of the computers are fairly old. They all use windows xp, though, but my guess is that they barely meet the minimum requirements. Would Ubuntu run ok? or should I use something lighter?

I will try to figure out how to install those crappy ATI drivers [04:37] thats for ubuntu also [04:37] leaf-sheep: thanks, but it still doesnt mention anything about reformatted partitions, it assumes I have only deleted it [04:37] Bondy: They're not all the same, but they all run xp. Some of them are really slow, though.

[05:26] why does nvidia x server show one of my two Acer monitors as CRT-0? and the other as Acer? [05:26] why is it that when i'm doing a lot of disk I/O on a dual core, the system becomes unresponsive and jerky even though one CPU is doing all the I/O wait and the other is sitting there 90% idle according to "top"? shouldn't syscalls or I/O only block one core, not both? can't the other core take care of keeping my desktop responsive?

[05:27] alankila: one would think... but man that's like looking for a needle in the ocean [05:27] ganymede: the problem is that applications also need to access the disk occasionally, due to on-demand paging and memory pressure issues. But these requests are queued with the other IO. [05:27] Gaara:-) Yeah..what Billiard said [05:28] thus, they stall, and linux on the whole stalls. Also there have been bugs with data transfer on one physical device also blocking the other disks, which is even worse.

I will check, thanks [05:30] i love compiz [05:31] Lostinspace_46: The Window Manager is responsible for that behavior. Default window manager in gnome is metacity, but you can use compiz or any other for that matter.

[05:31] alankila, oh i see, i just realized by disk I/O probably caused a lot of things to be cached and thus the applications got swapped [05:31] ty for the clarification [05:32] widget: ubuntu can access ntfs partitions [05:32] ganymede......

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:32] i just had it explained to me [05:32] yup [05:32] ganymede: not necessarily swapped. Swapping is the fate of what is called anonymous (not file backed) memory. Application pages are called page cache, and page cache gets shrunk during IO. [05:32] there ya go [05:32] widget: 8.04 should be able to mount ntfs just fine [05:32] 8.04 cant upgrade to 9.10 [05:33] thats kinda wierd, and you'd think they would have a upgrade option in the iso or on the cd [05:33] ekontsevoy: did you try man dpkg, man apt-get or man aptitude [05:33] hi, i cant get my mic to work. i have tried to oppen up all channels in alsamixer and tried to change my input source with no luck. when i try to start pavumeter --record i just get "connection refused". i can hear my mic through my speakers and i can mute it in the mixer. my sound card is alc889a hd audio. (gigabyte ma790x-ud4 mother board) does anyone know how i can fix my problem ? [05:33] alsa [05:34] uuuuuuuuuuuug [05:34] thats soooo anoying [05:34] linux0g: indeed. (that is if you're speaking about the netsplits) [05:34] yes [05:35] mdadm question: I have a RAID6 array that has two failed drives, I readded the drives and now one says "spare rebuilding" and the other one says "spare." All drives previously said "active sync" in the mdadm details. Does a spare drive after its done syncing turn to "active sync" and then proceed to sync the next spare drive? [05:35] netsplits suck, but it happens. [05:35] alankila, page cache "shrunk?" like it just discards memory that processes had allocated? i thought the OS would put that into my swap file because it determined that that process would be sleeping for a long time [05:35] anyone know how to NAT dtls? [05:35] oh ok.. its saying i can't mount volume :S .. not too sure wat that meanws [05:35] not tls [05:36] it seems freenode is being DDoS'ed [05:36] linux0g, 8.04 will be able to upgrade directly to 10.04 in april, otherwise yes, you have to go through each distro. at this point i might just wait [05:36] Xeon3D: http://www.irc-junkie.org/2009-12-15/freenode-under-ddos/ Yes it is. [05:36] ganymede: there are two kinds of memory application consists of: read-write memory and read-only memory. The read-only memory is the stuff like application code or files memory mapped in read-only fashion. [05:37] these can be reconstructed just by reading the data from the same files they were originally read in the first place and thus they don't need to be swapped. [05:37] Is there a log that shows when a computer was turned on / off [05:37] alankila, so that's what's being discarded when i do I/O? === homer is now known as Guest24859 [05:38] alankila, i'm reading over 6 gigs of files, and i only have 4 gigs of physical memory [05:38] alankila, of course, the 6 gigs aren't open the entire time, it's just reading through and closing file after file [05:39] yes, what linux does is shrink page cache (chiefly) and push anonymous memory on swap when you cause memory pressure. [05:39] alankila, thanks for the clarification [05:39] the page cache is shrunk to make room for the data. Linux doesn't know if you are going to use the data again, so all it can do is guess that probably you will [05:40] PEACE ON EARTH -- GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN [05:40] hi, I get this error whenever I start ubuntu server, how do I get away with this.... http://pastebin.com/m18bcddc9 [05:40] alankila, the line in the "top" command labelled cache refers to this page cache? and "buffers" refers to r/w data that can be swapped? [05:40] is here anyone that can hlp me with my mic problem ? [05:41] ganymede: I am in fact not 100% sure what buffers refers to. I believe that these are contents of device blocks which are known by OS but not used by anything, or dirty data not yet written to disk [05:41] my picasa 3 for linux throws an error everytime i launch.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:42] the anonymous memory is not directly shown by top, but you can infer its presence from taking the value in RES column and subtracting the SHR column.

[05:44] losha: Well it completed successfully or at least that is to what I would imagine (I had it reboot) and then I am now running it again but this time I added -fp so its another wait and see :) [05:44] damn it, i just wiped out my /home partition because stupid windows offered to format it. i formated it to NTFS. is there any way to try to recover some of the stuff from there or it's a lost cause? the FS was jfs === RichiH is now known as Guest94292 [05:45] i have tryed to exit all programs that uses sound [05:45] still the same [05:45] have been like this for mounths [05:45] AegNuddel, download and put into /home/.fonts - the .fonts folder is not there natively, you may need to create it [05:45] AegNuddel, if you want to install them for your user only, copy them into the directory ~/.fonts/ and create it if you need to [05:46] oh okay right now I am the only user [05:46] nop.. [05:46] AegNuddel, also, some fonts may be available in the repos [05:46] to clearify, my curent soundcard has never worked [05:46] ah [05:47] riverbird, did you mean to say /home/yourusername/.fonts ? [05:47] Hilikus: unfortunatly once you have formated there is no way to go back its a lost cause (sometimes when you play with windows you get cut) lol [05:47] soreau:-) Thanks, I got my windows doing ok. Now I need to deal with where an icon is placed if, for instance, a thumb-drive is mounted [05:47] Is there some way to make the stupid notifications disappear when I click on them, or to somehow customize the notification applet at all yet? [05:47] I would like to thank the Ubuntu devs who put the factoids on the bot. It helped me fix my grub2 and a lot of time scanning over documentation! [05:48] I had a folder called fonts...if I renamed it with the dot would it work or do I have to creat a brand new foldser? [05:48] create [05:48] Hilikus, there are expensive professional services to retrieve your data but it'll probably be upwards of $2000, especially since it's JFS [05:48] Hilikus: of course I am assuming that you dont have backup or you wouldnt be asking [05:48] ganymede, aren't /home and /myusername the same? [05:48] nah, i didn't have anything important anyway. i'm just wondering if there was anything to do [05:48] Lostinspace_46: Your icons are controlled by nautilus, not the window manager. and I don't know enough about nautilus to say if you can tell it where to place it's icon [05:48] :L [05:48] AegNuddel, check free fonts http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/ === d6chung_ is now known as d6chung [05:48] Crash1hd i have backup of every hard drive except this one of course, hehe [05:49] Hilikus: well that would be murphys law lol [05:49] wee_, can you not play any sound? [05:49] Lostinspace_46: I always disable all icons to make for a cleaner looking desktop and access whatever I need through the places menu or file browser [05:49] riverbird, type "echo $HOME" in a shell to see your homedir, it's usually /home/yourusername. /home is the folder where all user homedirectories go [05:49] soreau:-) Thanks, I will look it over. [05:49] jfs fsck could be worth trying. If the drive was quick-formated, that is. [05:49] and i just bought a new one to be able to back this one up, which is exactly why i ended up formating the wrong one, i meant to format the new one [05:49] riverbird, normal users should not have write access to /home/ [05:49] AegNuddel I believe if you drop it in ~/ and name it .fonts and reboot or reload your font cache(the command escapes me at the moment for font cache, it should work [05:49] riverbird: my outout works, its just my input that dosent work [05:49] is there anything like source-insight for ubuntu? [05:50] doh [05:50] If there was a proper format, the data is lost and not even the most expensive data recovery firm in the world could recover it. It's common belief that some magnetic residue could be extracted with sensitive instruments, but I doubt that is the case for modern drives. [05:50] is that just in home or under my user name? [05:50] ganymede, maybe my mistake. i am a solo user, so home and username ar ethe same folder for me [05:50] lol nm [05:51] AegNuddel under your username [05:51] ganymede, please clarify for AegNuddel [05:51] 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 [05:51] it'd be /home/your_username/.fonts [05:51] AegNuddel, username/.fonts [05:51] I put "install" after looking at it font viewer [05:51] outer_space, I use Bluefish editor for my css and js [05:51] will see if it is there [05:51] Crash1hd do you know what type of partition table does linux need? my new one doesn't have one but i get several types from parted to create [05:51] outer_space, I've heard good things about Geany too === dfitzpatrick is now known as Draconis [05:52] Hilikus: you can just use msdos [05:52] AegNuddel after you do that you'll also need to rebuild font cache...$ sudo fc-cache -f -v [05:52] it shows up fine [05:52] I am on 9.10... [05:53] Billiard is that the best one? it sounds old. i do need to share that disk with windows so it has to be a table that windows understand [05:53] how can I install ubuntu as a xen guest? the normal netinstall kernel boots but doesn't seem to have the network driver included [05:53] irc dal.net [05:53] Hilikus: i would just use msdos if windows needs to share it, yes it is old [05:53] Billiard ok, thanks a lot [05:53] wee_, sometimes there are conflicts between players - some use jack or alsa. i have had problems with mic as well [05:53] Hilikus: always use the ms-dos partition table format. [05:54] try to use anything else and you're probably in world of pain [05:54] alankila ok, got that. thanks [05:54] wee_, have you tries the mic alone after a fresh reboot? [05:54] * alankila thinks even BIOS cares about the partition table format. [05:55] so now that i lost /home is there a way to recreate at least a default setup for home? [05:55] so now that i lost /home is there a way to recreate at least a default setup for home? [05:55] is there a IRC command to display a list of all users. In IRSSI especially in this channel with so many users, is there a sort of "less" command I can use with it to view all of them? [05:55] Hilikus: /etc/skel [05:55] riverbird: i have tryed to reinstall some times, switched to kubuntu. and same thing. i dont know is pavumeter --record is using alsa or not. but that dosent work. i tried mumble and that dosent work in alsa or oss. my output sound works very well [05:55] Kevin` what's that? [05:56] Hilikus: the files that get stuck in a new /home/user folder === homer is now known as Guest52232 [05:56] anybody know how to install pc station [05:56] Kevin` so i should create a new /home folder with my user and then copy /etc/skel to it? [05:57] i don't know a lot about file systems, but i recall the difference between ext2 and ext3 would be the size/number of files stored, one better for lots of little files, one better for a small amount of bigger files, is this correct? and if so, which is better for lots of little files [05:57] Hilikus: yeah [05:57] Jaikkuli: you must be confusing reiserfs here [05:57] Hilikus: be sure to make the folder and the files you copy into it owned by your user [05:57] Jaikkuli, no, the difference is that ext3 has journaling [05:57] Is there some way to make the stupid notifications disappear when I click on them, or to somehow customize the notification applet at all yet? [05:58] Jaikkuli, ext3 also enables journaling, which ext2 lacks. journalling protects your data somewhat from unexpected shutdown [05:58] Billiard i'm guessing programs that had settings stored in /home like amarok will just recreate fresh settings right? or will they just fail because they don't find a settings file [05:58] Hilikus: chown -R user:user ~user, once your done [05:58] man that netsplit is annoying .. [05:58] Hilikus: they will recreate their settings [05:58] Kevin` ok [05:58] cool [05:58] ganymede: what's the tradeoff for this protection [05:58] thanks a lot guys [05:58] someone help me with installing ubuntu in xen? [05:58] ganymede: not data. It mostly exists to avoid fsck after boot. That is its primary function. Otherwise you could argue it's slower than ext2. [05:59] riverbird, esp when you are in the middle of a conversation [05:59] español? [05:59] what it protects is something termed metadata consistency. [05:59] wee_, from my experience, and i am no expert with sound issues, my guess is that there is an alsa/jack conflict. once one get loaded, the other wont run and vice-versa [05:59] !es > ald85 [05:59] ald85, please see my private message [05:59] Gnarwal, no doubt [06:00] lol there [06:00] alankila: is this slowness significant? [06:00] was not complicated like everything says [06:00] riverbird: okay, how do i set my input to alsa then ? [06:00] Jaikkuli: no. You would be crazy to use ext2 for that reason. === homer is now known as Guest67251 [06:00] was not on 9.10 anyway [06:00] alankila: what is a good reason to use ext2 [06:01] well, it has been suggested that if you had a filesystem you would format at every reboot anyway only suitable for throwaway data, you might want to use ext2 for it, as it would be slightly faster. [06:01] but nobody in practice does this, of course. [06:01] ald85, ##espanol [06:01] Can someone tell me what I would have to type into the terminal to run Ubuntu's Software Center? Thanks [06:01] riverbird: #ubuntu-es [06:01] alankila: i see [06:02] !es [06:02] 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. [06:02] thanks for the help guys [06:02] Oddbio: I believe "software-center" [06:02] lstarnes, thx for correction [06:02] Oddbio: But I only got that by typing in "soft" and hitting TAB a couple of times to autocomplete it! :) [06:02] at one point people spoke about using ext2 for flash devices, perhaps before wear leveling. The problem with journals was that they keep on writing a lot of stuff on the journal and thus destroy the flash device. But that was before wear leveling was widely used.

[06:05] I am having a big problem. I installed Cairo-Dock but now whenever I restart ciaro dock fails to start and block execution of anything else that should start-up (naming nautilus and gnome-panel which are pretty important) I could not even just restart or do anything because the cairo-dock maintenance window would always open itself over and over again. now I started ubuntu in gnome failsafe mode and tried to play around with the session settings but they [06:05] hah, that's smart, i never thought of that [06:05] cool [06:05] I personally believe ext2 and ext3 are legacy systems now and ext4 is the recommended default filesystem. [06:05] Oh Pebbles thank you [06:05] what is ! ops? [06:05] how do i make my font bigger [06:05] Hoppi, it's used to call a channel op to ban someone who is causing troubel [06:05] and also, how do i put something in like, orange alert... status :) [06:06] oh awesome :) [06:06] I did not know a file system could just "evolve..." will it eventually develo its own AI? :P [06:06] develop [06:06] AegNuddel: ......... yes. [06:06] hehehe [06:06] Hoppi, it causes ubotu to paste a line consisting of the nicknames of the ops, which causes their IRC clients to pop up a notification in case they're in front of their comp [06:06] alankila: thanks, also one other thing, do you know any pages that will explain how to properly make storage devices bootable? [06:06] wee_, not sure about that, someone else maybe .. are you using the sound recorder by distro default? [06:07] Either a scary or interesting thought depending on if it develops for or against us [06:07] any body interested in a super secret document i found? Its just a wave file. [06:07] Jaikkuli: no, but what it entails is: 1) bios knows about it; 2) it contains a boot sector that loads a boot loader; 3) some bioses may require that a partition is marked bootable. [06:07] ne171pro: no [06:07] dude it's crazy [06:07] !ot | ne171pro [06:07] ne171pro: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:08] sorry [06:08] I can't seem to run "alsamixer" and I have no sound. This is not the case in GNome, however I like to use the ratpoison window manager instead, but when I use ratpoison I have no sound and running "alsamixer" says: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [06:08] Jaikkuli: so you basically make a single partition, flag it as bootable, copy a linux install on it and install grub, and then ensure that BIOS boots removeable media first... that's how I do it, anyway. [06:09] AegNuddel, Hoppi oh geez, are we going to get into friendly ai here? .. ;-) [06:09] Oddbio: ... you could try starting the Gnome sound manager thing [06:09] erm.. who called? === somebody_ is now known as cappicard [06:10] riverbird: im typing from kubuntu atm. so itryed a terminal recorder, but it seems that i dont have any input sound what so ever on my system. same as in ubuntu [06:10] Xeon3D: go back to sleep, someone just pasted the entire names list of the channel. [06:10] Oddbio: just to see if it works really :) [06:10] Xeon3D: it was a spam bot [06:11] oh [06:11] :) [06:11] I'm a bit sleepy, but fiddling with 10-year old hardware rocks :) [06:11] Xeon3D, false alarm :) [06:11] riverbird: when i look in menus i only find output, cant find anything that says input [06:11] owh the Kubuntu room is very quiet ._. [06:11] Hoppi: ok, sorry to ask but what would that be? gnome-sound-manager? [06:11] Kubuntu ftw *waves little flag* [06:11] heh :) [06:12] wee_, hmm. dont thin i can help. maybe re-ask a new question .. [06:12] Oddbio: erm... often you can just guess at some of it and hit TAB [06:12] wee_, do you have 'sound recorder' in your sound/video? [06:12] i need some help the adobe flash player settings wont work no matter what i do, when i wanna broadcast my webcam in a webchat i just cant click the allow button [06:12] riverbird: no [06:12] ald85: try unabling compiz-fusion [06:12] ald85: you have 64-bit linux. Uninstall the flashplayer and get adobe's 64-bit alpha player [06:13] is there any command for that?? [06:13] can anyone help me? why does is the session not saved when I use the session manager in gnome failsafe mode? I need to have it saved so I can normally use my ubuntu in the default mode :s [06:13] wee_, it's usually in ubuntu. check to add/remove apps? [06:13] or where can i get it? [06:13] hello [06:13] riverbird: i just installed pulseaudio manager. and that just list output under devices [06:13] I need a little help with BIOS if some one can help me :) [06:13] oops had to reboot because of error 13 [06:14] is there a software that u talk into the microphone and it types it out? [06:14] I appreciate the fact that ubuntu people (and world in general) reminds us all that 64-bit computing still sucks. [06:14] Oddbio: Problem is it's probably something to doo with the fact that Gnome sound's system isn't kicking in [06:14] held a key too long and my cursor was stuck on the file move thing [06:14] wee_, does pulseaudio run jack/alsa? [06:14] jonrob287: yes, but it doesnt work well [06:14] why not? [06:14] Oddbio: I mean you CAN run ALSA without it of course, and PulseAudio I would imagine, but I'm not so sure how, that's why I just sit here with KDE and Phonon sound system :) [06:14] guys, i installed gSynaptics, but it didnt give me a touchpad Tab in the mouse settings [06:14] jonrob287: because its still in development [06:15] wee_, i don't use pulse, so no experience. what is it you are trying to do with the mic input? [06:15] I wanted to know why no MIDI composers seem to work [06:15] whats the command for uninstalling flash?? [06:15] can someone tell me what the raw ubuntu 9.1 size would be once installed?

[06:16] ald85: fire up synaptic for me :) [06:16] Hoppi, pls check my chat w/ wee_ . trying to figure out no mic/ sound input? [06:16] ald85: no, you fetch the .tar.gz from adobe and drop it into .mozilla/plugins at your home dir [06:16] Please help or guide me from where I can get help ? [06:16] Hoppi: well I'm sure your advice was correct, because I wasn't getting wireless in ratpoison either until I added nm-applet (the gnome wireless applet) to startup [06:16] Is there some way to make the stupid notifications disappear when I click on them, or to somehow customize the notification applet at all yet? === dserban_ is now known as beejay [06:16] #remote-exploit [06:17] Hoppi: I just have to figure out the correct command to run, thanks anyway [06:17] Oddbio: why do you want to use Ratpoison anyway? heh :) [06:17] anyone know nwat im doing wrong ?

If you click it, it will pass through to the window behind it [06:18] rojoloco47: nothing appears on the screen when you turn it on, not even bios splash? [06:18] yes @ Billiard [06:18] what's the recommended FS for /home?

I have a intel 82801H sound card, the issue its that it just can play one sound at a time, I have ubuntu 9.10 [06:19] wee_, maybe the forums? also, are you running KDE? [06:19] hey guys which of gnome n kde is better according to u? [06:19] rojoloco47: still under warranty? [06:19] billiard what is the software called [06:19] I have searched the google and all those who have this problem finds for solution and acer says its solution is to update BIOS @ Billiard [06:19] ved: You just have to try both [06:19] riverbird: yes im running kubuntu now. after trying ubuntu reinstalls a copple of times [06:20] wee_: I use basically the same sound hardware I think! [06:20] Billiard do you know of a recent comparison between ext4 and jfs or xfs? [06:20] wee_: onboard yeah? [06:20] Hello, I just upgraded to karmic and there is something wrong with my codecs, all videos I see have switched colours (like blue ppl) in the movie player and in vlc. on mplayer ther look ok [06:20] yeah its under warranty but I want to fix it as soon as possible @ Billiard ,I have exams going on and the resource data is in that hDD [06:20] hoppi: yes [06:20] i tried kubuntu.. but something happened after updating it n i could login only to command line [06:20] wee_: ah, you are having problems with Phonon? [06:20] rojoloco47, query window [06:20] wee_, Hoppi i'm not on kubuntu. you may have better luck .. [06:20] rojoloco47: if you dont even get the bios splash screen, i would use the warranty [06:20] wee_: Phonon is the KDE sound system thingy ma jig :) [06:21] wee_: as long as your sound is enabled in BIOS, it should pick it up and be automatically set up, then all you need to do is a quick tweak/check in Multimedia and you should be away [06:21] !phonon [06:21] hoppi: ahh, im using kubuntu now. yes =) it seems that i have no input sound what so ever. but i can hear my mic through my speakers.. and i can mute it. put i cant find any input stuff on the system [06:22] !hi [06:22] Hi!

[06:22] nooo don't uninstall Pulse! [06:22] I like Pulse! ^_^ [06:22] hello there in the Xchat [06:22] Hoppi, thx. [06:23] intel, what it be like [06:23] * alankila recommends avoiding both jfs and xfs. jfs because of bad personal experience with high fragmentation of files, and xfs because it's so slow with file deletion and metadata in general. [06:23] I a m new to Ubuntu so please someone guide me [06:23] hoppi: audio output and audio capture [06:23] pulse sucks for me I use alsa better === Seveaz is now known as Seveas [06:23] intel, what are you having problems with? [06:24] wee_: Oh, nothing that indicates drivers? [06:24] wee_: I have HDA Intel (ALC880 Analog) [06:24] hoppi: hda ati sb (alc889a digitl) [06:24] well I am really new to this environment so I am wanting to play .Dat video file how do I play it in Ubuntu [06:24] it is ubuntu 9.04 [06:24] wee_: that's your one :) [06:25] intel, never heard of that file type [06:25] I've never used a .dat file before [06:25] intel, rename it to .mpg [06:25] wee_: ok erm, all I did was bung PulseAudio to the top of both categories and all the subcategories [06:25] you can try that... [06:25] how to that [06:25] wee_: And it's worked like a dream ever since :) [06:25] zenlunatic: .dat files are from VCD times. [06:25] wee_: With my Sound Blaster and my onboard :) [06:25] right click, click 'rename' and type .mpg at the end [06:25] my cat walked over the keyboard while I was typing in pidgin [06:25] hoppi: your mic starts working ? ?= [06:25] now I've lost the text cursor in one conversation tab [06:26] I can type, but can't use the left key to move back over the text [06:26] how can I get it back? [06:26] ok I am trying it [06:26] wee_: Ah well I don't use mics, but all my speaker sound and program sounds, never an issue :) [06:27] dooglus: hmm... perhaps you are victim of SCIM... last time I hit that beast something like ctrl+space fixed it [06:27] hoppi: i dont have pulse audio under audio capture [06:27] but I'm not sure, I always uninstall that thing out of pure horror [06:27] alankila: thanks === beejay is now known as nootron === Pepino is now known as iPino [06:27] wee_: There is Playback/Recording with Pulse [06:27] ok I am trying it can we network with XP when we are in ubuntu environment [06:27] alankila: ctrl+spc didn't fix it [06:27] wee_: I just stuck that at the top [06:27] ok. Try alt+space as well, and some other modifiers just in case they changed that. [06:28] alankila: alt+spc pops up a menu [06:28] dooglus: is ctrol+space supposed to open new tab? [06:28] Hmm. I wonder what menu. [06:28] nic3: in pidgin? [06:28] hoppi: i cant see any playback/recording with pulse [06:28] oh. Window menu. Right. [06:28] in opera === nootron is now known as nutron [06:28] I'm sorry, I do not know how to fix the problem. I only suspect SCIM because I remember how it used to turn text input impossible when you hit the scim activating combo [06:29] and when it used to be ctrl+space, that was like all the time [06:29] wee_: hmm odd [06:29] wee_: maybe that's the problem [06:29] Shazb...... Can we get networked with xp when we are in Ubuntu [06:29] nic3: I don't use opera [06:29] wee_: does normal sound work if you do the pulse trick though? [06:29] !who alankila [06:29] hoppi: guess so. i have show advanced devices too [06:29] !who | alankila [06:29] alankila: 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 :) [06:30] hoppi: give me 10sec and i will check [06:30] wee_: People always say to avoid Pulse like the plague, but yeah so long as I'm on KDE Pulse has given me an easy ride :) [06:30] Anyone one know of a good irc room for support with php programming questions [06:30] dddemon, #php? [06:30] wee.......... Can we get networked with xp when we are working in Ubuntu or alt [06:30] alankila: I would have missed what you said if airtonix hadn't mentioned the !who think. if you put dooglus at the start, the line goes yellow for me and I notice it [06:31] intel: you want to access windows file shares? [06:31] yup [06:31] alankila, dooglus tab completion in xchat [06:31] intel: yes you can [06:31] how [06:31] intel, yes you can : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [06:31] cn28h everytime I try to get into that room it puts me in a overflow room [06:32] intel, if you're trying to talk to someone, but don't want to type their whole name, if you're using xchat, type part of the name, then press TAB - and it will autocomplete the name [06:32] dddemon, just worked fine for me [06:32] intel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#Browsing%20SMB%20shares [06:33] hoppi: no luck there. no output sound now [06:33] dddemon, perhaps you need to identify with services? [06:33] intel, this might also be helpful for you to understand the process : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4813148932443670673# [06:33] Billiard, How to get it controlled [06:34] intel: how to get what controlled? [06:34] is there something in ubuntu that has a split window and goes to function definition text when you put the cursor on a function? [06:34] maybe I did do regserv nick identify [06:34] I mean how to start sharing [06:34] outer_space, you mean a class browser for code editors ? [06:34] intel: after installing samba, you should be able to right click a directory, and choose share [06:35] no classes in c [06:35] hi, what's the ls option to view file contents in "human" measures? ie Mb, Gb, etc. [06:35] wee_: that is strange ._.I mean maybe you could follow their advice and ditch Pulse, but twould be a shame as it must have SOME advantages! hehe :) [06:35] i have source-insight at work i want something like that at home [06:35] spvensko_: man ls? ls -lh probably. [06:35] hoppi: just got a notice sound from irc =) [06:35] alankila, i'm using a distro that doesn't provide the man pages by default :( [06:35] which memory use data is right? I have some trouble with the system monitor told me used 449MB ram, but the 'free' command told me I use 931MB ram. [06:35] outer_space, i dont know source-insight, but gedit has a plugin for class browsing on current file : geany also has one, and aptana also does it [06:36] sorry, i just find the ubuntu chat to be a good resource for info [06:36] wee_: hooray! [06:36] spvensko_: uninstall it, it must be horribly broken. [06:36] wee_: hehe [06:36] Hoppi: alsa is way better for linux anyways pulse is windows [06:36] hoppi: hehe =) [06:36] alankila, it's not ubuntu, it's not supposed to come with man pages :( [06:36] *:) [06:36] Om3Ddragon: PulseAudio isn't windows... [06:36] spvensko_, this is a ubuntu support channel [06:36] i realize but where else are you going to find 1272 linux users in one spot? [06:37] hoppi: but it seems that i only ger sound in quassel irc now [06:37] wee_: hehehe :) that truly is odd! [06:37] so i should install gedit-plugins? [06:37] spvensko_, you can also use this incredibly simple set of keywords to search google for man pages : man [06:37] speme: the answer is complicated, thus there is no one right answer. I suggest using the 2nd line in free as your guide, the value i free column [06:37] hoppi: can u try to whisper me again. i started up pulse audio again [06:37] wee_: if it were me I'd give KDE a restart sometime [06:37] wee_: can't hurt if it's settings have been changed [06:38] spvensko_, http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=man+ls [06:38] good point, i'll try that next tiem :) ty [06:38] hoppi: okay i will restart and be back and give a feedback =) [06:38] i installed gedit-plugins, what are they supposed to do? [06:38] wee_: okie dokie - KDE 4 is worth it ^_^ [06:38] alankila: thanks [06:38] Hoppi, wee_ any proprietary drivers involved all this? [06:38] hoppi: idd =) [06:39] outer_space, the class browser isn't in the repo. you need to download it from the gnome site [06:39] riverbird: I assume he's using the standard drivers like I am [06:39] outer_space, http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins [06:39] riverbird: dont know. i only use the nvidia driver and restricted extras [06:39] speme: one way to view the value in the 2nd row of "free" output is that it is the amount of memory linux could easily free if it wanted to. However, it's a fact that if it did so, all applications would probably grind to halt [06:39] outer_space, http://www.stambouliote.de/projects/gedit_plugins.html [06:40] source-insight is a lot simpler than a class browser [06:40] wee_, you have enables all the odd hardware? you using 9.10? [06:40] split-pane, curser in function = function def in split pane [06:40] riverbird: i will restart and see if what hoppi told me will work =) im using the newest 9.10 kubuntu yes [06:40] i have heard many issues w/ nvidia on 9.10 .. [06:40] outer_space, well since you haven't provided either a screenshot or a page describing it i'm only assuming [06:40] wee fyi. check forums for more [06:41] works with macro defs, typedefs, and var declarations [06:41] riverbird: nividia gpu. and sound issues ? [06:41] Hoppi: PulseAudio runs under Microsoft Windows and POSIX-compliant systems like Linux. PulseAudio is free software released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (for the software library portion) and the GNU General Public License (for the sound server itself). [06:41] a-sleeping I will go... [06:42] Om3Ddragon: ok [06:42] bye [06:42] * alankila thinks it's a lie that pulseaudio runs under win32. The only build of that ever seems to be from 2007. No pulseaudio clients exist, and only one half-working ESD thingy is there. [06:42] outer_space, i'm pretty sure that this image shows what you are describing : http://www.stambouliote.de/projects/img/gedit-classbrowser-070122.png [06:42] wee_, no. maybe the graphics card [06:43] outer_space, good luck experimenting with all the text editors in the repositories and / or the gedit plugins at http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins [06:44] i installed the 64 bit flash and still not working [06:44] heeeeeeelp [06:44] ald85: how did you install it? [06:45] ald85: How did you install Flash64? [06:45] uninstalled old flash [06:45] closed firefox [06:45] Billiard: Oh... I didn't see you. >_> [06:45] extracted the file [06:45] ald85: not working at all? [06:45] ald85: keep it on one line [06:45] Thank you Friends...... I got it [06:45] installed it and autocopied the files to the firefox folders [06:45] ald85: flash media player or what flast are you talking about [06:45] !enter | ald85 [06:45] ald85: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:46] ald85: does flash work at all now? [06:46] hi guys just installed ubuntu and am loving it so far just a bit hard to wrap my head around at first is it okay if i get a little help on a couple things? [06:46] what is a recommended swap partition size? [06:46] skitzo: Sure. Welcome! Ask away! [06:46] ok ok sorry, yes it works for youtube but when i go to a site where i can use mic or camera it doesnt work [06:46] hoppi: hmms, now its realy screwed up =) no sound what so ever [06:46] ald85: did you try disabling compiz? [06:47] dont even know whats that [06:47] ald85: the special effects [06:47] please help, I upgraded to karmic and now when I play movies the colours are changed [06:47] and how can i do that? [06:47] first off the most important thing i would like to do first is hide my windows 7 partition so it cant be messed with in anyway [06:48] ald85: go to System>Preferences>appearance>Visual Effects tab> choose none [06:48] ald85: the problem is that you cant click on the flash settings box? [06:48] yes billiard [06:48] wee: for one thing, the kubuntu channel may be a better place to ask for help.. also I guess last resort is removing Pulse, or hunting down better drivers but I think you already have the right ones [06:48] ald85: and this is the problem that I saw when 64-bit firefox was embedding 32-bit flash through nspluginwrapper. [06:49] hence my suggestion to drop the 32-bit flash monster that stupid ubuntu people forced on us and instead get the working 64-bit alpha flash. [06:49] ald85: try to install ubuntu restricted extras everything work for me [06:49] ive installed the restricted extras [06:50] anybody :) [06:50] skitzo: err... comment out the line in fstab that mounts it? [06:50] excalibas, provide : ubuntu version, media player being used [06:50] hoppi: gees, kde freeks me out some times. it seems that things pops up in the menus rigth and left some times. i got some new pulse audio tools now. i will try them out some. thx for your help =) [06:50] ok i disabled the visual effects and still not working [06:50] excalibas, gnome or kde ? [06:51] 64 flash is just better then anything now [06:51] skitzo: do you have Ubuntu installed on a separate partition, or in a virtual partition? [06:51] ald85: are you sure you did manage to install the 64-bit flash? Did you really cause the browser to restart? Maybe you had some window or downloads screen still open. [06:51] seperate [06:51] airtonix, ubuntu 9.10 , totem, gnome [06:51] Om3Ddragon: have you tried the latest 64 bit , dec 9 release [06:51] separate [06:51] no i closed everything [06:52] Hey how does a Ubuntu server work ? is it only the black screen with some white text ? [06:52] rojoloco47: yes [06:52] airtonix, I have just upgraded, before it was ok [06:52] rojoloco47: but you can install a gui [06:52] excalibas, inside totem , goto the edit menu > preferences [06:52] ald85: ok. Weird. The nonresponsive UI problem went away when I dropped the 32-bit flash for me. But before I did nothing ever worked, I couldn't click on any flash ui elements. [06:52] how can I install a gui in that @ indus [06:52] Is there any command like "startx" that can be used to 'stop x'? ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work. Also "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" won't work as I am not using GDM, I do "startx" from the terminal to bring up my window manager [06:52] you just need to do like alankila said and comment out the lines in fstab. Do you know what he means? [06:52] rojoloco47: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg [06:53] excalibas, display tab > move the hue slider around. (down the bottom) [06:53] !server [06:53] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [06:53] anyone knows maybe how to stop ubuntu karmic asking for password to access ntfs drives? [06:53] I had ubuntu server 9.10 installed on this system but there was nothing I could do so I just formatted it again === carlo is now known as Guest46706 [06:53] damian: add an entry to your fstab for the partition [06:53] rojoloco47: why did you install it? [06:53] Ok thanks a lot ,I will try it now :) @ indus [06:53] !dontzap | Oddbio [06:53] Oddbio: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [06:53] I like to experience new things [06:53] Jaikkuli, used to be 2x memory, but now 256k-2gb is fine [06:53] Oddbio: See if that does the trick for you. [06:53] @ indus === gandhi__ is now known as gandhi [06:54] airtonix, it was at the bottom, but in the middle the color is fine, thanks a lot, I would never go there [06:54] rojoloco47: server installs are meant to be without gui ,gui add extra security and stability/speed issues [06:54] riverbird: thanks [06:54] thanks Billiard, i google from there on :) [06:54] excalibas, it just needs to be moved to get totem to listen to your preferences again after an update is all [06:54] rojoloco47: ok if you want a gui fine, but you wont have any applications running on it [06:54] riverbird: why doesn't windows require swap partitions? [06:54] Jaikkuli: it grows a swap file dynamically. [06:54] rojoloco47: ubuntu-desktop is the package you will need probably [06:54] Jaikkuli, it does, but it uses a swap file [06:55] Linux doesn't need swap partitions either, really. Dynamic swap files exist also for linux. It's just not customary to use them. [06:55] kinja-sheep: thank you, that's exactly what I need [06:55] can we setup DHCP, Active Director, DNS and WINS etc on Server or Desktop ? @ indus [06:55] rojoloco47: please read the link [06:55] alankila: ah alright :) thanks [06:55] rojoloco47: yes sure [06:55] Oddbio: You're welcome. :) [06:55] !server | rojoloco47 [06:55] rojoloco47: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [06:55] Jaikkuli, http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space [06:55] Jaikkuli: of course, I no longer use any swap files or partitions. All I do is enable ramzswap because it works just fine to extend RAM and makes recovery from memory hogs much faster than with disk-based swap [06:55] wee, good luck [06:55] Ok I check it now thanks @ indus [06:56] airtonix, that was cool [06:56] Why does network manager keep asking me to unlock the Keyring for it??? [06:56] Can I ask one common question here ,about this linux thing ? [06:56] how to check which ports are open in my system??? any command?? [06:56] Jaikkuli: I especially shake head at people who make something like 10 GB swap partitions. Doing something like that only means that linux will trash a long, long time before it finally recovers from a memory hog. [06:56] ManDay, because it is a system wide setting [06:56] Everytime I return from hibernation and it tries to reconnect [06:56] can xp be told to acknowledge swap partitions? [06:56] alankila, and how much ram do you have installed(safe to say not to use swap)? [06:56] Jaikkuli, no [06:56] Jaikkuli: what would you do with it? [06:56] i_is_broke: I have 2 GB on the system. [06:56] airtonix, it should remember the authorization tho, airtonix [06:57] I want to know what OS i should learn ,for my better future JOB ? [06:57] alankila, thank you thats what im getting ready to order [06:57] is there any way I can tell which application is sending data out over my network? [06:57] Billiard: ... swap? :) [06:57] i_is_broke: but I have experimented ramzswap for 1 GB, where it also works quite well, and I have a very weak system with only 128 MB which needs some 64 MB compcache + 64 MB real swap to run lxde comfortably. [06:57] ManDay, why ? [06:57] rojoloco47: You're new and does not have any experiences with linux. Start with Ubuntu or Fedora. [06:57] alankila: 10 gig, damn that's overkill [06:57] ie - I think duplicity is doing a backup in the background - and I have 100kBps going out, but I'm not sure that duplicity is sending the data... [06:58] rojoloco47: ubuntu is good, but later move to redhat and do some certificate the RHCE [06:58] chrispitzer: nethogs. [06:58] !CERTIFICATION [06:58] Because it's annoying! Does your network manager ask you for a password for the d/k/r every time you connect to your WLAN? airtonix [06:58] i_is_broke: how much RAM you want/need is a matter of more than what I say. If 4 GB is cheap, by all means buy 4 GB. But I have found that 2 GB suffices well for all my tasks, involving java development that is traditionally very memory hungry activity. [06:58] because mine at least did use to [06:58] alankila, thats what im running now is lxde and i have 1280 meg of ram and i never get below 400 meg of ram and never touch the swap. [06:58] Jaikkuli, ?? don't use it. [06:58] ManDay, i don't use wireless networking out of concern for security and quality of network connection === kb is now known as Guest3854 [06:58] I am trying to understand ubuntu for last 3 months ,then I tried backtrack4 suse linux enterprise 11 and now I have redhat 5 enterprise with ubuntu 9.10 [06:58] riverbird: dont use what? [06:59] ManDay: It ask you for the key because you use AutoLogin. [06:59] airtonix: wireless is secure as you want it to be [06:59] airtonix, I do, because its indepensable [06:59] indus, no [06:59] Will fedora 12 help me to learn redhat ? [06:59] kinja-sheep, can you elaborate that? [06:59] if its not, the wi- fi group would like to hear from you [06:59] i_is_broke: yes... I'd say that > 1 GB you can pretty safely rely solely on ramzswap... Put another way, the system is pretty useless anyway if it starts to swap on disk. Ramzswap works the better the more memory you have. [07:00] Jaikkuli, don't use windows .. the kernel uses swap - no kernel in windows [07:00] ManDay: When you boot up, do you type in user/password at GDM? [07:00] alankila, is that ramzswap something in the repos or do i have to manually install it? [07:00] kinja-sheep, yes [07:01] who wanna try the the new alpha 1 for ubuntu or installed tell me how is it to try I t [07:01] i_is_broke: it is installed but configured at 0 % usage (disabled). Enabling it is usually done by modifying /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and setting some value to COMPCACHE_SIZE [07:01] riverbird: you're telling me not to use windows? [07:01] I use "50 %" as the value. Then you need to rebuilt the initramfs images... was it update-initramfs -u -k all [07:01] ManDay: http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/stop-nm+applet-from-authenticating-with-the-keyring-276986.php [07:01] Om3Ddragon, depends on hardware right now if it will work or not..best bet is not to put it on a production box unless you vm it. [07:01] join/#rsbot [07:01] ManDay: It is from 2007. I don't know if that still work. :X [07:02] * alankila 's phone also runs with compcache [07:02] airtonix: use the wpa2 === GTT_crisnoh is now known as crisnoh [07:02] but iam no expert so ill give you benefit of doubt [07:02] kinja-sheep, the weird thing is that it only happens in a few cases. not everytime i boot/login [07:02] Hi, everyone [07:02] Om3Ddragon, but that is offtopic in this channel please see ubuntu+1 ty [07:03] how can I get gecko-sharp on my ubuntu box? [07:03] airtonix, to my knowledge there is no way of cracking WPA2 yet, besides you can always add another layer of encryption, if you deem it unsafe [07:03] I need it for a mono app that I'm working on [07:03] Jaikkuli, no. no . i am saying that I do not use windows [07:03] ManDay: Gotcha. I'm trying this for my laptop. Also, it is common practice to prevent any authorization tasks --- including editing date/time. Wireless = Network. Prevent guys from messing around with network settings. [07:03] zero-1: a wild guess: libmono-webbrowser0.5-cil ? [07:04] zero-1: if that's not it, then sorry for wasting your time, couldn't find anything more suitable [07:04] how do i update firefox to the latest version in karmic? [07:04] how can i restore ubuntu from the original settings [07:04] alankila, thank you for the info.. [07:05] alakila nope that's not it I have it installed yet I cant find gecko-sharp dll and its no listed :( that package used to be named gecko-sharp, now I cant find it :( [07:05] sorry restore ubuntu to the original settings i ment [07:05] Optimus55: Download the latest version from Fx website [07:05] i_is_broke: I have found with testing on my very weak 128 MB system that 50 % compcache seems to give the best results. Incidentally, that is also the default setting for my phone independently arrived at by some other folks. [07:05] alankila, re:swap. i thought the kernel relied on swap. what's this ramzwap?? [07:06] ald85: if you want to restore all your user settings, they are stored in your home directory in hidden subdirectories/files, just move them somewhere else [07:06] riverbird: kernel doesn't rely on swap. It's just one of the options that it benefits from when it needs to free more memory. [07:06] can someone help me install a tarball.gz? [07:06] guys network manager doesnt connect with my 3g data card [07:06] riverbird: ramzswap aka compcache is ram-only swap device that consists of gzip-compressed memory pages. [07:06] anyway to fix this? [07:07] tuxd: what's the problem [07:07] apocalypt: I'm not good a command line [07:07] what's the code name of 10.4? Decided yet? [07:07] lucid lynx [07:07] :D [07:07] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-tarballs/ [07:07] lex luthor :-p [07:08] riverbird: it is especially useful for low bandwidth, low memory systems that need a way to extend virtual memory. It takes a lot of time to write a memory page to disk-like device, at the order of 10 milliseconds usually. In contrast, it takes mere microseconds to compress a page and store it in RAM. So it's easily a net benefit. [07:08] even though the compressed pages themselves increase memory pressure. [07:08] it's cute. What page I should check for the latest announcement for the newest ubuntu code name? [07:08] I need some extreme themes for ubuntu 9.04..... Someone HELP !!! [07:08] apocalypt: I got to the dir [cd dir] and did ./configure... when I try make it won't [07:08] s/check/subscribe to/ [07:08] alankila, can you run w/o ramzwap and no swap? or do you need one or the other? [07:09] riverbird: linux is able to cope without swap. [07:09] tuxd: did u read the README? [07:09] riverbird: indeed. No swap is recommended if your RAM memory is enough. [07:09] amitz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases [07:09] in fact, I used to run without swap before ramzswap was invented. I noticed that swapping only meant that memory hogs tended to trash the system for very long periods, like 10 minutes, before finally getting killed [07:09] alankila, my misunderstanding then. i habe 1.5 ram and 2 swp [07:09] apocalypt: it has an INSTALL file I have open [07:10] so I disabled swap to hasten the period when linux realizes that a process it out of control and must be killed. [07:10] ved: uh, you're not joking. Sorry :-) [07:10] alankila, amitz what is defined as 'enough? [07:10] kinja-sheep: oh, I thought there is an official source? [07:10] riverbird: but when ramzswap arrived, I realized it's better than no swap: it does extend virtual memory and it still keeps the benefit of no disk trashing. [07:10] tuxd: u need to compile it. before ./configure , make, make install u need to install build-essentials [07:11] is there any newer theme than mac4Lin so that it will make my ubuntu better in personality development [07:11] amitz: There are http://planet.ubuntu.com/ but that's more of a hybrid blog for all developers/contributors to blog in. [07:11] riverbird: no standard AFAIK. My rule of thumb is basically as long as I don't run out of memory. [07:11] riverbird: enough? enough swap? I think enough swap is generally 0k for systems which have gigabytes of physical RAM. That's my take on the issue. Swapping is the less useful the more real memory you have. [07:11] amitz, 1.5gb? [07:11] u mean theres no fix for that? [07:12] alankila, i just thought that my swap partition is just sitting there doing nothing..but i didnt know if i could get by without it, as fast as programs are growing an using memory i just didnt want to delete it and have nothing. [07:12] riverbird: It really depends on your usual activity. I have 2GB and its more than enough. It seems I only use up to 1GB daily, unless I open IDE> [07:12] alankila, but i will look into this.ty very much. [07:12] alankila, how to enable ramzwap? [07:12] i_is_broke: yes, it is a reasonable concern. But I believe that having swap doing nothing increases the risk of runaway processes causing bad behavior. [07:12] ved: woah? I didn't say that. About there is no fix for that. [07:12] apocalypt: when I was on the ubuntu official documentation pages, the link to 'build-essentials' said I had it installed (though I didn't do it manually myself). I'm kind of a noob in terms of doing things from scratch. If it's in the Synaptic, I'm all set, but I want to learn more than that. [07:13] riverbird: it needs change in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf, there's a line about COMPCACHE. I'd suggest a value like 50 %. Then rebuild initramfs images with "update-initrams -u -k all". [07:13] riverbird: I'm on debian but it should be similar enough. [07:13] tuxd: in README there u can read if u need to compile the package or if there is a bash to install this package. at first u have to upack tar.gz with "sudo tar xvfz file.tar.gz" [07:14] can sed removed unwanted lines of text? [07:14] alankila, that seems all well beyond me. a wiki page of how-to's?? [07:14] i_is_broke: the tighest I run is a 32-bit linux on 1 GB laptop... with eclipse, java servlet container and firefox, email, gnome, etc open it really pushes to swap, often to the tune of 100-200 MB. Despite this, it's perfectly responsive system. [07:14] riverbird: I do not know of such. [07:14] I have a jaunty server; "sudo do-release-upgrade" says "After your package information was updated the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore." There are LP bugs about this, but they suggest it's been fixed. What can I do to diagnose? [07:14] ciao [07:15] maybe leave well enough alone .. === elky is now known as elky` [07:15] riverbird: I view my tweak more as an advanced configuration setting anyway. It's very useful to me because as a developer I keep on making mistakes with code... and those sometimes cause infinite memory usage. [07:15] tuxd: did u try to find that package in repository maybe u can install it through apt-get or aptitude from the repository [07:15] amitz: Perhaps http://feeds2.feedburner.com/canonical-news [07:16] riverbird i just copied and pasted everything to leafpad..lol === s00p is now known as n00p [07:16] apocalypt: is that different from extracting? [07:16] kinja-sheep: hmm, that one should be updated enough. Thanks. This will be for future releases :-) [07:16] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-tarballs/ [07:16] hi [07:17] use that link [07:17] alankila, i think there should be a how-to on this subject as a lot of people dont know about it. [07:17] amitz: And it does not blog too much, which is a good thing. :o [07:17] i_is_broke, did i break a rule? [07:17] riverbird, no i was just telling you what i did..lol [07:17] tuxd: that's complete different because it doesn't use your tar.gz file.it will install a package from repository. which program u want to install? [07:17] some people on this channel might tell me about how ulimit can fix runaway processes, but they are sadly telling a lie. Too many applications allocate lots of virtual RAM, and ulimit can limit that. But only a few ever actually materialize all the RAM they allocate. So ulimit proved unsatisfactory to me. [07:17] kinja-sheep: noted. Too many messages are overwhelming :-) [07:17] so i would have the way to change the settings. [07:17] hello [07:17] guys I got these errors in ubuntu karmic when running apt-get upgrade: http://pastebin.org/65497 [07:18] i_is_broke, why? is it relevant to something else? just curious. not familiar w/ leafpad [07:18] oh its like notepad [07:18] are they anything to worry about? [07:18] do i need to remove the nvidia packages before installing the proprietary drivers? [07:18] pci sound card not giving sound [07:18] ectiva [07:18] and how do I go about errm, fixing the errors that took place during that upgrade? [07:18] ditto then. i did too. lol [07:18] ev1938 [07:18] i have installed 4GB of RAM and need to use the PAE kernel, but the packaged drivers don't play nice with that [07:18] how to monitoring client system any application??? [07:18] Polysics: if you are using nvidia's installer from there site, i would uninstall first [07:18] apocalypt: wp tray 0.5.4 wallpaper changer [07:18] riverbird, i have a computer with only 512 ram in it and i thought i would use it on it. [07:19] Billiard, no, currently i have the apt nvidia drivers [07:19] Polysics: but i would just use the nvidia drivers package from the package manager [07:19] pawan: witch sound card you got there [07:19] alankila, thx. i am a common user with simple needs. i'll let enough be. thx for the session [07:19] sri_: you mean how to monitor what application? [07:19] Billiard, apparently that does not play nice with the PAE kernel [07:19] ev1938 [07:19] ectiva [07:19] in fact, i am running in recovery mode right now [07:19] i_is_broke: I'd think that around 256 - 768 MB is the sweet spot for ramzswap. It really improves the behavior. Beyond 1 GB you don't really swap that much in practice, and with less than about 256 MB not even ramzswap can recover the system, although I would argue it still helps. [07:19] in Ubuntu is there any commands or application to monitoring a client??? [07:20] Billiard, it's also apparently due to the fact this is an upgrade from 9.04, not a clean install [07:20] doesn't matter THAT much as in a week i will have a new HD and reinstall, but hey :-) [07:20] Polysics: ok, well i would uninstall first, if you plan on using nvidias installer [07:20] i want my 4Gb :-) [07:20] tuxd: try in terminal "sudo aptitude install wallpaper-tray" it could be what u want [07:20] Billiard, ok, that's what i needed to know :-) [07:20] sri_: what do you mean by client? PCs in a network? What kind of monitoring you want? === TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple === carbohydrate is now known as vitamin === vitamin is now known as vitaminx101 [07:23] btw, how do i know if my system would support 64 bit Ubuntu? [07:23] apocalypt: msg from terminal says "unable to lock administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [07:23] and would running 64 bit have any special advantage? [07:23] Polysics: depends on CPU, I guess. Which CPU do you have? [07:23] other than supporting more RAM [07:24] tuxd: close synaptic or the package manager u have open in the X enviroment [07:24] Polysics: cat /proc/cpuinfo yes, some things are faster in 64bit [07:24] alankila, Core 2 Duo T5600 (1,83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache) [07:24] Polysics: that cpu is 64 bit capable [07:24] Polysics: Why wouldn't you take full advantage of your processors? It is useful in heavy CPU usage such as encoding DVDs, music editing, video editing, etc. [07:25] Help: having a problem getting screen refresh on 9.10 upgrade. Any suggestions how to fix this? [07:25] Polysics: well, that is a 64-bit cpu as far as I know. I personally don't think the mythical improved performance from 64-bit code really materializes for many tasks. 64-bit executables are bigger and 64-bit pointers take double the RAM of 32-bit ones [07:25] depending on workload it's a win or lose. [07:25] i do web development and firmware programming as a job [07:25] not getting sound from pci sound card [07:25] ya.. PCs in a network... What ports are open in their system.. [07:25] this laptop is not used for anything else [07:25] Billiard: everything is faster in 64 bit system [07:26] sri_, you are looking for "nmap" [07:26] ectiva ev1938 [07:26] will using 64 bit have some packages that don't work? i don't need much, aside from apache, php, ruby [07:26] Polysics: ive found overall my system was faster using 64bit, also using more than 3.x GB in x86 mode with pae is like a hack [07:26] Om3Ddragon: that is, sadly, a lie. [07:26] Help: having a problem using vino getting screen refresh on 9.10 upgrade. Any suggestions how to fix this? (2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu i686) === elky` is now known as elky [07:26] how to use nmap - Polysics [07:27] well, i am getting my new HD later, guess i will just install 64bit 9.10 and take a look :-9 [07:27] Polysics: almost anything work now for 64 bit [07:27] Polysics: there are some media codecs that are not available for 64 bits, I guess. Mostly you run trouble with non-free software. Some free software projects have bad support for 64-bit, though, like mono doesn't do all in 64-bit the 32-bit version can do, and java used to lack behind 32-bit version as well... and firefox doesn't have jit... [07:27] sri_, nmap is a monster of a program, but you can take a look at http://nmap.org/book/man.html [07:27] is anyone having trouble with firefox taking forever to look up webpages on 9.10? [07:27] Polysics, I use 9.10 64 bit, and it runs faster for most things. I haven't had any issues so far. [07:28] Java has improved its act on 64 bits, though, so I can no longer say that you have a disadvantage if you need java apps on 64-bit system. [07:28] alankila, all i need is mp3 support for web radios and Firefox to work [07:28] guys I got these errors in ubuntu karmic when running apt-get upgrade: http://pastebin.org/65497 [07:28] i don't even go NEAR java, for some years now [07:28] are they anything to worry about? [07:28] vitaminx101: In the terminal, "firefox -safe-mode" [07:28] Polysics: ok. Well, you will be hurt by slower javascript but mp3 certainly works. [07:28] and how do I go about errm, fixing the errors that took place during that upgrade? [07:28] if you are a gamer you need to go for 64 bit [07:28] never ever needed java after learning ruby :-) [07:28] kinja-sheep: will that affect my browsing at all? [07:28] Om3Ddragon, gaming is something i most certainly do not do [07:29] Polysics: then you never learnt Java properly. [07:29] hi, i have been trying to remove hidden partition from grub but everytime I run grub-update2; the hidden partition is automatically added to grub.cfg eveytime. [07:29] tuxd: u got it? [07:29] vitaminx101: Close the Firefox first. Run that command. If the websites are loading fast for you, then it is one of the extensions. [07:29] n00p, i respectfully disagree, i did 2 years of professional development as head of a 4 person team :-) [07:29] not counting the time before :-) [07:29] Om3Ddragon: there is not one game needing more then 4gb ram or generally a 64bit cpu [07:29] not enough, Polysics. [07:29] anyone know a fast document search utility like google desktop? [07:29] yes there is [07:30] I did 3 months of C# and I can see those benefits of Java over Ruby. [07:30] apocalypt: it seemed to do it's thing from terminal, but I'm not sure where to access the program now [07:30] MikeChelen: Gnome-Do is nice for that. [07:30] n00p, a language that requires more than 1 year to learn, is a bad language [07:30] actually im a pro gamer [07:30] !ot | Om3Ddragon [07:30] languages are means to an end, not an end [07:30] Om3Ddragon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:30] Polysics, n00p not the java debate channel. sorry [07:30] riverbird, absolutely true, sorry [07:30] kinja-sheep: wow man worked like a charm!! thanks so much spent like 2 hours yesterday going through forums and people are having issues with it but almost every fix did not work for me. Thanks again :) [07:30] kinja-sheep: gnome-do is good for quick app launches, does it support document indexing? [07:30] Polysics: C# took me less than a month to learn, Java is very similar. Ruby has a lot to learn, too. That's all I will say on the matter. [07:30] tuxd: after install the tray should be on your panel [07:31] MikeChelen: In the plugins, you will find. [07:31] MikeChelen, try running the Tracker Search Tool [07:31] vitaminx101: Now you'll have to toggle on one-by-one. Let me know which extension is it! [07:32] apocalypt: that's what I thought...but I see date/time, volume, network connection, and screenlet mgr... no new icons [07:32] one slightly-OT thing: does Virtualbox run on 64bit? i need that [07:32] tuxd: if it doesn't work try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803103 or that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WallpaperTray [07:32] or any free virtual machine package [07:32] Polysics: yes [07:32] question: how do i unlock the default keyring permanantly? [07:32] Polysics: Native 64bit? I don't know but yes we have VirtualBox. [07:33] four: http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/stop-nm+applet-from-authenticating-with-the-keyring-276986.php [07:33] i hate having to install XP just for IE8, but that's the way of the web developer :-) [07:33] Polysics: I don't see why it wouldn't. It's available opensource, so you could compile it if it's not available as an x64 package. [07:33] Polysics: with vt-x or amd-v its running 64bit systems too [07:33] Polysics, yes, very well [07:33] wow, thanks to all :-) [07:33] kinja-sheep: hey sorry I'm really new to linux I'm not sure what you mean by extension? Do you mean firefox plugins? [07:33] alankila, you still in here? [07:33] kinja-sheep: ok thanks, will look for that one, any idea what the search backend is? [07:33] i_is_broke: yes. [07:33] which do u guys think is better: Eclipse or NetBeans? [07:33] hey can we take this to offtopic for a min? [07:33] RxDx, SCiTE :-P [07:33] Polysics: A simple code can fix that -- if(ie8); print "Don't be cruel.

[07:34] RxDx: also its offtopic, go to #java [07:34] don't start an editor debate, it's worse than a language debate :-) [07:34] kinja-sheep: ok ill see what i can do [07:34] aquarius: does tracker support full text search of documents? gonna give it a try, thanks [07:34] kinja-sheep, and IE8 isn't even THAT bad, tbh... IE6 was FAR worse, at least stuff in IE8 sorta works ou of the box [07:34] Polysics: one more note, if you want a language that has very little to learn, assembly or C. [07:35] Polysics: People are still using IE4 and IE5! :< [07:35] heh, IE4... [07:36] luckily i get to develop for IE8 now... i convinced my two main clients that IE6 was going out of support :-) [07:36] I remember running ie in Red Hat :( [07:37] !ot | Polysics [07:37] Polysics: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:37] my processor is usually sitting at 0-5% unless i'm doing something big [07:37] MikeChelen, yep, it does support that. Applications > Accessories > Tracker Search Tool. You may need to turn on indexing if it's not already turned on (it is on by default, I believe): System > Preferences > Search and Indexing [07:37] dandaman: use top to see what app is using 50% [07:38] dandaman, what process? [07:38] cpu1=9-20% hovering, cpu2=100% all the time [07:38] i sorted processes by cpu [07:38] only the system monitor is using 2 [07:38] i'm sorry for not knowgin this, but how do i kill the X server to install the NVidia package?

[07:56] rcscomp: on karmic ? [07:56] apocalypt: yes [07:56] Polysics: Hmmm, well, you've got the PAE kernel alright. I don't know what to tell you. [07:56] Polysics: is there a reason you dont want to use the 64 bit kernel? [07:56] rcscomp: ext4 is the standard filesystem on karmic. it is supported [07:56] effects just for windows like fire [07:57] no the cube [07:57] huh..? [07:57] Billiard, didn't want to reinstall as i am getting a new HD soon [07:58] songer: try to install fusion-icon and compizconfig-settings-manager [07:58] songer, ah, OK. In Ubuntu Software Center, install "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)" [07:58] apocalypt: this is to try and get slackware dual booting. The problem is that the slackware menu item doesn't show up in the grub menu. [07:58] was just devoting some free time to see if i could get this kernel to see 4GB, but if not, i'll justsolve it with install later [07:58] Does anyone have an idea http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8507786#post8507786 or in words HP 2133 still not showing wireless interface i tried ndiswrapper jockey ,.... running Windows Server with Xfce4 Xfce4-goodies interface [07:58] rcscomp: did u try update-grub2 === Vincent is now known as Guest64129 [07:58] Just tell me guys how can insert ppolicy.schema in ldap for ubuntu 9.04 [07:59] apocalypt: I did, with a custom entry for Slackware === drgX-1b-user is now known as Aiya [07:59] apocalypt: it didn't seem to pick it up on its own [07:59] ................................................. [08:00] apocalypt: both ubuntu and slackware are running LVM if that matters. [08:00] songer, and then, when it's installed, run System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager to configure all the cool effects :) [08:00] aquarius: also i would like to install 3d stereo audio technology. can i do it? [08:01] rcscomp: maybe i don't no. i've never worked with LVM. is your slackware entry under /etc/grub.d/ ? [08:01] songer, I don't know very much about audio stuff, I'm afraid; my laptop only has two speakers! Do you have lots of speakers attached to your computer? [08:01] what's the equivalent to system>preferences>sessions, in 9.04 ? [08:01] i just want the effects for the windows like rain fireetc [08:01] ........................................

[08:02] aquarius? yes i do [08:02] rcscomp: why LVM u told u were trying to make ext4 runable [08:02] Simple question. What's the equivalent to system>preferences>sessions, in 9.04? [08:02] Guest64129, do you know what chip your wifi uses? [08:03] songer, just turn those effects on then. with ccsm. and the audio depends on your sound card. [08:03] songer, cool! Wish I did. Anyway, someone may be able to help more with speaker handling; I believe that the audio system ("pulseaudio") can already handle this sort of 3d sound work, but I don't know very much about it. Try right-clicking on the volume icon in the top bar and selecting Sound Preferences and see if there's anything there that's relevant. [08:04] rcscomp: maybe your settings for the slackware partition is corrupt [08:04] apocalypt: well, the ubuntu grub entries had "insmod ext2". I knew I was using ext4 in slackware, so I changed it to "insmod ext4". However, that command fails. I guess, I could just change it back and try that. [08:05] apocalypt: well, I translated from the slackware lilo entries, the only thing different was the "insmod ext4". I guess, I can try removing that and just see what happens, that might be a good first start. brb. Thanks for the help. [08:05] I'm a newb to linux, I want to install a program, AtomicParsley, I have the program on my desktop, and can run it from there, is there a way to install it so I can just type in the terminal, sudo atomicparsley and make it work? [08:06] Oh and if you need it, I have ubuntu 9.04 [08:06] aquarius: i already installed all the staff that i need for the effects [08:06] Guest64129, can you paste sudo ifconfig -a and sudo iwconfig -a [08:06] vincent, hello? [08:06] hi [08:06] after upgrade to 9.10 my alsa is broken [08:06] how i re install alsa to fix this? [08:07] currently i have no sound [08:07] djyox, atomicparsley is available direct from Ubuntu in 9.10; you can install it from the command line with "sudo apt-get install atomicparsley", and then run it with "atomicparsley" [08:07] my audio is realtek hd [08:08] ntemis, and had no luck changing your sound server settings or playing with all of the volume controls? [08:08] djyox, if something's available directly from Ubuntu, it's always best to install it that way rather than downloading it yourself from their website; that way you get automatic updates for it, and the install process is easier :) [08:08] aquarius, I'm a little worrried about installing 9.10, last time we did that something didn't unstall correctly, and I had to reinstall 9.04. I'm not on a very good connection, I am deployed to afghanistan and the connection is via satillite [08:09] djyox, atomicparsley is available in 9.04 as well (sorry, I forgot to ask what you're running!) [08:09] if I did upgrade to 9.10, is there a way I could easily get back to 9.04, with out having to reinstall? [08:09] Seven_Six_Two: no [08:09] Oh, I didn't see it? [08:09] h [08:09] hi [08:10] can I have help please? http://tinyurl.com/ycu3msw [08:10] djyox, yes -- you should be able to find it in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager (it's an advanced program, so it's not shown in Add/Remove Programs) [08:10] !kick Jeje [08:10] !kick Jeje_ [08:11] I thought I had looked in there for it, but maybe it was for something else... [08:11] let me check [08:11] what >< ? [08:11] djyox, and you may need to enable "all open-source applications" rather than just "Canonical-supported applications" to see it (this is sometimes called "enabling the universe repository") [08:12] Jeje_, lol. I don't want to see your rotten toenail. [08:12] aquarius, where might I find that at? [08:12] Seven_Six_Two, can you imagine sucking it? =) [08:12] Jeje_, unless you're going to install Ubuntu NBR on it [08:13] on my toenail? [08:13] Jeje_, yes. otherwise it's offensively off-topic. [08:14] My bad, I already have it installed. (Like I said, I'm a newb) I forgot that linux is case sensitive [08:14] djyox, in Add/Remove Applications, the "Show" menu should say "All available applications" [08:14] djyox, ah, ok! cool; glad you got it sorted :-) [08:14] Thanks for your help! [08:14] One other quick question on setting up a file server [08:15] What distro would be the best for a box that is only going to be used as a file server? [08:15] djyox, well, I like Ubuntu Server, myself. :) [08:15] hello, can anyone suggest why I might not get Dell XPS. ubuntu's wiki "LaptopTesting" seems to have good results for the model, however I always hear such bad things about Nvidia (being closed source) - yet this laptop doesn't seem to cause anyone problems (and it uses nvidia).. can anyone help me get off the fence? [08:16] djyox: I would say debian or centos, but that may be offtopic here [08:16] not that there's much difference between ubuntu server and debian [08:17] Well, that was my plan was ubuntu server [08:17] anyone on nvidia? or laptops? [08:17] I do plan on using smoothwall on an old computer or maybe server box for my firewall/router [08:17] I think debian has a longer support cycle... [08:18] I usually can't even read fast enough to keep up with this channel, and its *dead* right now. what's going on ?? [08:18] only 1300 users? Did we have a DoS or something? [08:19] or is everyone out christmas shopping? [08:19] I am having a problem with totem and the you tube plugin I want to watch my videos but it often gives me an error "Automount failed: mountpoint for org.gtk.vfs.mountpoint.http already running" I also would like to be able to use playlist options any ideas? [08:19] well, since i'm not getting help...: [08:19] wd0 has 488397168 sectors but if i fdisk wd0, the mbr partition created will be only 488392002 sectors and if i add the first 63 sectors that hold the mbr, the total is 488392065. altough is not verry important, where are the remaining 5103 sectors going? [08:19] djyox, I suggest slackware - keep it simple. [08:20] s/wd0/sda [08:20] lol slackware... [08:20] slackware for the file server? [08:20] for anything. [08:20] anything you don't want breaking. use slackware and you'll know *exactly* what the heck is going on *all* the time. [08:21] Yonni_Poo, I use nvidia on a laptop, and it works very well for me [08:21] i mean, you can do the same with any distro really, but... slackware - just my 2 cents [08:21] Hey guys [08:21] that makes little sense, do you mean slackware writes more logs? [08:21] 'because that's the only way to get slackware to do anything' -- you basically have to know every little detail to get anything working [08:22] Seven_Six_Two: thank you :) did you do a lot of research before getting your laptop for ubuntu? or just put ubuntu on an existing laptop? [08:22] I'll have to look into slackware [08:22] Yonni_Poo, I've got a Dell XPS (the M1330), with the Intel graphics chips, and it's excellent. The issue with nvidia is not that the drivers are a problem themselves, it's that it's much harder for the Ubuntu community to help with problems because the nVidia drivers are closed-source [08:22] I just plan to have my fileserver running on a headless box, set it and forget it kinda deal [08:23] 9500GT,9600GSO,8800GT,they are all ok [08:23] I have the same release on my desktop, and that has nvidia 6800gtoc, 2 monitors and svideo work just fine [08:23] I started out on slackware a looong time ago. I recently took another look at it and it hasn't changed a bit, slackware is just as arcane and difficule as it was back in 1994 === ara_ is now known as ara [08:23] sacho I mean, installing slackware you'll be a part of every step of every step of dependency-ness... so you'll be very aware what broke what, when you installed what, and when. [08:23] I managed to install the latest nvidia drivers with only a minor headache [08:23] on second though, take zcat[1]'s advice, 1994 definitely craps on my experience [08:24] 'package management is for the weak' ;) [08:24] I learned a lot from using slackware. [08:24] forced learning != fun [08:24] Yonni_Poo, if you don't *have* any problems with the nVidia drivers then you'll be fine :) [08:24] I do admit, you will learn a LOT running slackware.. [08:24] package management is for us lazys who dont like to type..lol [08:25] wtf why do i get this error? http://tinyurl.com/yasscv4 [08:25] i_is_broke: actually, computers are for us lazys who don't like to add stuff up by hand and pencil [08:25] Hi i'm a bit confused ..i'm trying to check my memory but i can't understand this [08:25] wasn't aware you could do addition as fast as a computer [08:25] total used free shared buffers cached [08:25] Mem: 3016 2917 98 0 323 2151 [08:25] someone kick Jeje_ [08:25] Yonni_Poo, no thats a calculator [08:25] actually, sense we are talking about nvidia cards, I am rocking out on a 8200m and my driver in linux doesn't look near as good as windows does [08:25] that is a disgusting photo [08:25] Amaranth, please make Jeje_ stop\ [08:25] Jeje_: http://tinyurl.com/ycu3msw -- Hmm, weird.

[08:27] I wish I could be sucking on it right now. :( [08:27] it is neither funny or on topic [08:27] * Folly goes back to watching Madonna videos. :D [08:27] since the channel isn't very active atm, there's no reason to freak out :P [08:27] A[D]minS, not sure. not sure why you'd want to either, but I'll leave that up to you [08:27] Anyway, how is tablet support in Ubuntu OFTB? [08:27] *out of the box [08:28] Yonni_Poo, it depends which XPS model you're looking at :) Some come with an nVidia graphics chipset, some with Intel, some with a choice of either. Which one are you looking for? [08:28] i_is_broke: well, you could break all this down to math problems (everything the computer does... almost), so that's what i mean by pencil/paper-replacement [08:29] Folly, graphics tablet? or tablet pc? [08:29] aquarius: i'm looking for anything that'll be the easiest linux-out of the box. lol [08:29] Anyone know why the Gnome logo isn't working? http://tinyurl.com/ycu3msw [08:29] have been having a good run lately, last three laptops I've installed EVERYTHING worked; 3d graphics, wireless, webcam... [08:30] i have up to 1,388 to spend (that's what I"m sending this system76 laptop back for) [08:30] right off the live CD [08:30] Yonni_Poo, then I'd recommend you buy a laptop with Ubuntu installed on it, rather than installing it yourself. (You had a system76 and didn't like it?) [08:30] karmic seems to support a bit more stuff than jaunty too.. one of these laptops had no wired lan under jaunty. [08:31] I installed on an HP G60 and all hardware worked out of box [08:31] aquarius: well, Dell do sell the 9.04, but a.) its an nVidia b.) I *really* prefer 2 things: 3yr. warranties & 4gb ram (for virtual machine stuff); those two specs push it right over the edge into like.. $1400 [08:31] owner was not happy at the thought of not having theintarweb so opted to continue using windows and wait for karmic. [08:32] sda has 488397168 sectors but if i fdisk sda, the largest partition created will be only 488392002 sectors and if i add the first 63 sectors that hold the mbr, the total is 488392065. where are the remaining 5103 sectors going? [08:32] http://tinyurl.com/ycu3msw Help :( [08:32] Yonni_Poo, ah, right, yeah; I paid about that for mine, but I use my laptop 18 hours a day so I need it a lot ;) [08:32] aquarius: are you recommending any laptop with Ubuntu installed on it? because all I can ever find are sketchy websites (other than sytem76) .. and like.. the three machines Dell sells [08:32] Wait, wrong URL, sorry. [08:32] Oh, how about this for a question. I would like to upgrade to firefox 3.5 in ubuntu 9.04, under synaptic, I first have to unintstall 3.0, then install 3.5 correct? Now does anyone know what I should select for removal for 3.0, and then for install of 3.5? [08:32] What do you guys think of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-7NXibn5ms&feature=related [08:32] i'm having troubles with updating from 9.04 to 9.10, almost everything went fine, but there's a problem with binfmt package (i guess) [08:32] output is here http://paste.pocoo.org/show/157331/ [08:32] I run a NVIDIA geforce 9500gt. Does anybody know why after a reboot my computer looks great but then after maybe 10 minutes (sometimes more/less) it looks like an old tv with bad reception? The windows freeze, my mouse freezes, it resets my desktop effects its fuzzy all over. and a dialog box pops up to tell me that the screen is not composited. please restart compize...etc [08:32] djyox: you can use 3.0 and 3.5 at the same time [08:32] Yonni_Poo, I personally recommend the Dell ones, myself, but I know they're not cheap. Are you in the US? [08:32] I was very surprised to find a laptop where webcam and wireless and 3d worked but wired network did not, btw... [08:33] djyox, you can install 3.5 without uninstalling 3.0 [08:33] any way to reinstall/fix binfmt? [08:33] djyox: ff3.5 has a different name then firefox, its called shiretoko [08:33] mishok13: please use one line for a question, its hard to read over a few lines (when others are posting something between) [08:33] yeah, I really have no preference, I just don't want it to be some tiny-teeny company (like system76). [08:33] aquarius: *yeah, in US [08:34] get a lemote!! [08:34] djyox: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [08:34] zcat[1]: lol, like RMS? [08:34] ok, let me try that [08:34] sda has 488397168 sectors but if i fdisk sda, the largest partition created will be only 488392002 sectors and if i add the first 63 sectors that hold the mbr, the total is 488392065. where are the remaining 5103 sectors going? [08:34] well, you know the support for 'free software' will be excellent... [08:34] iceroot_, sorry, but the problem description is on paste.pocoo.org anyway :) [08:35] aH [08:35] Thank GoD! [08:35] lenovo seem pretty good for linux compatability too [08:35] Yonni_Poo, I'm in the UK, where there is Even Less Choice :) Some US people may be able to advise you about US firms. (In general, Ubuntu laptops will be towards the higher price end of the range, because they contain decent robust hardware rather than rather shoddy cheap windows-only hardware, though.) [08:35] There are 1300 people here. has anybody had a similar problem? [08:35] chibzuit, formatting information? [08:35] ok, so 3.5 is now installed [08:35] I just made a major decision [08:35] mishok13: using eeepc here which a small display and i dont scroll the whole channel to see if someone was posting additional infos before [08:35] Seven_Six_Two, yes [08:35] How do I go about using 3.5 rather than 3.0? [08:35] (i'm a noob) [08:35] forget trying to find a laptop with Linux preinstalled, just take a live CD along and insist on trying them out [08:35] zcat[1]: sounds good actually ( I think I just brushed the idea off, because I figured if RMS had it, it was some obscure unobtainable product) - http://www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html looks pretty limited of a site [08:36] I decided to switch over to linux [08:36] New to it [08:36] djyox: first try if you like ff3.5 [08:36] Lovin it [08:36] but could use some help [08:36] I think i mauled my splash [08:36] Whats the easiest way to start 3.5?

[08:38] I've practically had to learn linux overnight. I need help with my splash. Anyone willing to give a hand? [08:38] I think I mauled it :( [08:38] well i tried a lot like ndiswrapper en jockey [08:38] Skyblayde: again, ask your question in one line and stay on topic [08:38] but there still isn't an interface [08:38] Ahh I see, yeah, 3.5 is what I want to be running. Would it be better to just leave 3.0 on? That way I always have a backup if I start messing around with god knows what (I have to break stuff to figure out how it works it seems) [08:38] zcat[1]: isn't that kind of justified, though? I feel ilke, if some kid came into my shop with a liveboot that could wipe my whole disk, i'd be pretty upset [08:38] !anyone | Skyblayde [08:38] Hello , does it possible to to disable the ssh time limit ? so i can stay login for days even without any activity ?

[08:39] djyox: yes you can leave it on the system [08:39] Iceroot, what are you talking about? [08:39] Yonni_Poo, i tend to agree with zcat[1] . if not a usb, take a cd with you. otherwise, find the box you want, then install on it. jmo [08:39] !ot | Skyblayde [08:39] Skyblayde: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:39] !ask | Skyblayde [08:39] Skyblayde: 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. :-) [08:39] Skyblayde: that two ones [08:39] skyblayde: there are web pages for resetting all visuals on the system. i can help you look for them if thats an option you are willing to do. [08:40] zcat[1]: ghosting? [08:40] Echotone, Can we go private with it then so i dont embarrass myself? [08:40] hehe [08:40] the 'recovery disk' [08:40] if u insist. im just going to be on google looking for the page. i had to do it a while back [08:40] chibzuit, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-98827.html [08:40] hiut me up [08:41] zcat[1]: oooh, i've never heard it called ghosting. right, okay. i'll just do it then (i always have a liveUSB anyways). [08:41] thanks :) all [08:41] Alright, one more question, then I have to go start packing again. Is there any programs that you could recommend for me to download and start messing with. I'm going to a FOB that may not have internet connection. I use my N95 to connect to the internet through my laptop sometimes, but that is 14.4 slow. [08:41] computer retailers generally have an OEM install disk for each model, they boot off that and run an autoresotre and it's back to factory in five or ten minutes [08:41] *autorestore [08:41] in other words, any must have programs [08:42] zcat[1]: sure, I'd imagine that'd be similar to what you get with an Acer where you bring it "back to factory" with all the Acer pre-installed garbage (not tomention on windows [08:42] what's a good program to just reduce the kb/s of mp3 files for portable media playing? [08:43] well like that you can make it so that it creates new files of reduce kb/s mp3 files [08:43] can mplayer encode mp3's? if so, that might work? [08:43] high kb/s for portable media player can really kill the battery :/ [08:44] hi [08:44] how to enable 3D view in chess [08:44] i fixed my audio [08:44] syrius: and use up all the flash [08:44] ok i've installed the broadcom wireless drivers via Jockey-KDE what now? [08:44] but i dont have the icon for audio in top right panel [08:44] up all the flash is a program? [08:44] to lower or put higher the volume on the fly [08:44] syrius: I think lame can convert directly from mp3 to a lower bitrate [08:44] --------------------------------how to enable 3D view in chess [08:45] syrius: high-bitrate mp3's are big and use more flash memory in your mp3 player [08:45] -------how to enable 3D view in chess------- [08:45] hi,all.anyone know is there a programme can voice chat under command line?

I suspect there's little difference === Greed is now known as NIGG [08:46] ok sorry yaa [08:46] !repeat | intel [08:46] how to load ppolicy.la in ubuntu [08:46] well according to apple's site it suggests to use lower bitrate for files to save battery life zcat[1] [08:46] whoops, battery died [08:47] I use rockbox and put my music files in a separate folder on my ipod I hate the way apple does it [08:47] MaSSaSLaYeR, vincent? [08:47] so then I can just enable MTP plugin for rockbox and then I am all good [08:47] yes [08:47] while disabling ipod plugin [08:48] syrius: for a hard drive player, lower bitrate would mean less frequent reads which require spinning the drive up. But I don't think it would be an issue for a flash-based player, only hard-drive ones. [08:48] yes riverbird [08:48] just ahring: (system 76 laptops come default with a *whimmppyy* battery) [08:48] it is a hard drive based player zcat[1] [08:48] well flash-based has a limit of the amount of reads [08:48] Yonni_Poo, yeah, I bought two extra 9-cell batteries for my M1330 :) [08:49] well it is a pretty huge amount of reads now but in the beginning it wasn't a lot of reads to make it unable to write to it anymore === nose is now known as FreeBSD [08:49] MaSSaSLaYeR, saw you on earlier. type the first couple letters of my username, then tab to autocomplete [08:49] MaSSaSLaYeR, keeps us highlighted [08:49] i didn't get the answer in those links [08:49] did you enable the proprietary drivers?

[08:53] intel: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install -y python-opengl python-gtkglext1" [08:54] riverbird, it says the broadcoam B43 wireless driver and broadcom sta wireless driver the broadcom sta wirelless doesn't want to enable [08:54] gnome-volume-control-applet doesnt show on panel [08:54] Yonni_Poo, yeah, "XPS" is a whole range of laptops. Dell just don't let on that that's the case, it seems, which is a bit weird. That XPS13 looks pretty sweet, though, even if it does only come with nvidia graphics :) [08:54] oh.... it says----- [08:54] how i re-enable it? [08:54] does anyone know anything about sxipper? [08:54] MaSSaSLaYeR, ah .. sta [08:55] riverbird, sorry if i act stupid but i'm not so experienced :p that's why i bought this laptop to learn more :p [08:55] MaSSaSLaYeR, that has been fussy. bc4312, 4315 .. ?? do you know? not all chips are supported [08:55] intel: for future reference; I found those by searching "apt-cache search python [whatever]" from the things glchess was saying needed to be installed [08:55] riverbird, let me search [08:55] zcat, it says---"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [08:55] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? " [08:56] aquarius: I appreciate you looking. so it doesn't look to you like there's a whole nother rabbit hole of xps pages I should find with different specs (say intel chips) -- somewhere else on there messy site?

[08:58] MaSSaSLaYeR, see above link. 4312 only partially supported - 'g' networks only [08:58] Yonni_Poo: also if you get one with windows installed, reclaim the windows tax!! [08:59] Yonni_Poo, yeah. I wish there were loads of places where you could buy proper Ubuntu laptops, but Dell and System76 are the main two, I think, both of which I've been really pleased with in the past. Dell don't do my M1330 any more, tragically! [08:59] riverbird, i will look hold on [08:59] maybe i'll just bring Richard Stallman in with me... He'll talk them out of their rage. [08:59] hey ZCAT, I think something is happening [08:59] thanks thoug [08:59] hi! can't i not do wget -O - file.zip | unzip ? [09:00] zcat[1]: actually, its funny you mention windows tax, because when I asked a Dell sales assitant, they said, "No, the windows installation is free, there's no refund to give on that"... i was like.. YEAH, okay. [09:00] zcat[1]: but, either way, I can't see what I can say to that response [09:00] riverbird, what can i do do let the other wireless networks work? [09:01] Yonni_Poo: they pay -nothing- to microsoft? seriously?!! [09:01] * joejc finds windows really annoying [09:01] wow, I didn't know msft were that desperate to retain market share ;) [09:01] because the laptop is distributed with SUSE so normally there would be drivers [09:01] zcat[1]supposedly? - idk, I doubt it, but... if it mattered enough that we could (as consumers) really find out what deal they had with Dell - I wouldn't be too surprised if Microsoft wasn't giving vendors their OS for free. [09:02] importing .rfp files to sxipper - possible? [09:02] MaSSaSLaYeR, otherwise you have bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases installed? === FreeBSD is now known as asmodeus_ [09:02] MaSSaSLaYeR, ?? cant help you there. sorry. [09:02] Thanks everyone for your help. [09:03] riverbird, let me check on those things [09:03] hi all [09:03] Yonni_Poo: I think technically they're right, they pay very little to msft and make it back on 'shovelware' like trial versions of norton and office [09:03] dsdeiz, unzip doesn't seem to support getting a zipfile on standard input, as far as I can tell [09:03] aquarius: actually, I really wanted this System76 to work out for me. its unfortunate -- I just feel its silly of me to spend 1400 dollars on a hole-in-the-wall company when I could spend $20 less to get the same/or-better specs from Dell [09:04] Guys, I'm getting errors in my dmesg. Here's a log: http://pastehtml.com/view/5sje8l0.html [09:04] MaSSaSLaYeR, you may be able to copy drivers over? otherwise it may be an issue of the ubuntu kernel, not sure if thats shared with SUSE [09:04] Yonni_Poo: but this is getting way offtopic.. ;) [09:04] kick folly [09:04] ok [09:04] dsdeiz, yeah, it doesn't; unzip -hh says that it doesn't support streaming (reading from stdin) [09:04] MaSSaSLaYeR, another page maybe helpful .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/ [09:04] om26er: What? [09:05] zcat[1]: ooh, wow! you should see the nasty list of "components" that get saved when you print off your shopping cart for later use. really all you're trying to get a list of is: cpu, ram, hdd, monitor, (maybe 4 more things?)... its like a 20 ITEM list!

[09:10] EsatYuce: its only showing in the menu after reloging or relaoding [09:10] iceroot_: is it easier than firestarter?

[09:12] ok i will test it :) [09:12] i mean wifi [09:12] my RAM is 8 GB [09:12] iceroot .does having lower signal strength affect my speed [09:12] luckymurali: no limit [09:12] Already I created 3 time .swap file and added it [09:13] iceroot, hi [09:13] luckymurali: why do you need a swap file with 8 gigs of ram? [09:13] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/10240Mb.swap bs=1M count=10240 [09:13] dd: opening `/mnt/10240Mb.swap': Text file busy [09:13] inzi: not always [09:13] how does ubuntu determine the grub options to put in menu.lst when it regenerates that file? [09:13] luckymurali: beyond 4G there is really no need for swap except to hibernate; swap=ram... [09:13] ok.. thank you iceroot [09:13] * ikonia wakes [09:13] SwedeMike , my query tooks aroung 50GB [09:14] !tab | inzi [09:14] inzi: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

What is the differnece in uses of 'sudo' and 'gksu'? [09:16] how to kill all the process running on my machine [09:16] one is a graphical internface (gksudo) [09:16] i have a problem with module i810, it's not work [09:16] sudo is manual [09:16] can you help me [09:16] djyox: one sources a graphical environment for X11 apps [09:16] SwedeMike: the error message doesn't suggest either of those; it seems to me that /mnt/whatever is busy; ie it already exists and is already being used by something? [09:17] AHHH, sweetness, I guess that would explain why it pops open a window then... [09:17] <---- noob [09:17] :D thanks! [09:17] djyox: no problem, always better to ask [09:17] luckymurali: try 'swapoff' then create the file, then use 'mkswap filename' to turn it into a swapfile, then swapon swapfile' to enable it again [09:18] ikonia, yeah... I'm never too proud to ask. I'd rather just know the correct thing thing than pretend I do... [09:18] how to configure xorg if install didn't find vcard address or monitor timings? [09:18] luckymurali: 'swapoff -a' I think... you won't be able to write lots of nulls to a swapfile that the system is currently using! [09:18] ...short of writing a xorg.conf file from scratch, that is... [09:18] zcat[1],thanks [09:18] zcat[1]: he said he tried 4 different file names. [09:19] !tor [09:19] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [09:19] !info tor [09:19] but how can i kill all my process or how can i freeup my current swap [09:19] Package tor does not exist in karmic [09:19] any idea what the tor package is called? [09:19] !proxies [09:19] "Proxies" are services acting as intermediate agents in various sorts of Internet connections. Examples are TOR, !apt-proxy, and HTTP proxies (such as "squid"). It is possible to install and use Ubuntu via some proxy connections: see FIXME [09:20] luckymurali: kill all the processes? power off the machine? without processes there is.. well.. nothing running.. no os .. no nothing [09:20] dooglus: tor, but it isn't in standard-repos [09:20] llutz: which repo is it in? [09:20] the display panel only offers 800x600, but this monitor (viewsonic a71f+) is capable of more... [09:20] dooglus: sry idk, google it [09:20] I wonder why it's not available safely - seems odd to make us install from a 3rd party repo [09:20] luckymurali: the swapoff method sounds a lot more promising [09:20] Slart,ok just i need to restart thr kernel without reebooting [09:21] luckymurali: hmm... not really sure I've ever heard that mentioned.. is there a particular reason you don't want to reboot? [09:22] yes my results are cold cached === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [09:22] else i need to execute my query for another 8 hrs [09:23] !ayatana [09:23] luckymurali, maybe too much swap? [09:23] yes [09:23] luckymurali, why any w/ 8g ram? [09:23] im doing swapoff [09:24] when i restart my maching swapon will happen automatically??? [09:24] luckymurali: ouch.. no way to dump the cache contents to the hard drive? [09:24] luckymurali: I am fairly certain that you are asking the wrong question; you have a problem. You have made some assumptions of your own about the cause of that problem which are probably not correct. I think you should ask for help with the original problem... [09:24] zcat[1], Im sure about my problem [09:25] i have a database which is a main memory database [09:25] so the results are in main memory [09:26] luckymurali, are you using ramzwap? [09:26] it has a dvantage of cold caching [09:26] luckymurali: well, you can add an unlimited number of 1G swapfiles without dissabling any of the existing swapspace... [09:26] riverbird,what is that?? [09:26] or any other size... [09:26] zcat[1], yes im doing that [09:26] luckymurali, your /swap only needs 256k [09:27] if that [09:27] I'm not sure why you can't create any file in /tmp unless somewhere along the road /tmp has accidentally become a file rather than a directory [09:27] sorry, /mnt not /tmp [09:28] zcat[1], swapoff is really solved my problem === jbake_ is now known as jbake [09:28] but i need to do swapon or it will automatically on when i reboot my machine??? [09:28] also of you really do need significantly more than 2xram then you are going to have some really bad performance issues [09:30] Hello chaps, my laptop's running in 1024*768; I'm sure it can go higher but there is no option to set that in Karmic's Display Preferences - how do I over-ride that and add higher resolutions to the list?

[09:30] not even 2x ram, but with 4gb or more, the 2gb swap is plenty [09:30] luckymurali: just out of curiosity.. is the some advantage to having a database in memory (which in reality is swapped out to disk) compared to having the database on the disc from the beginning? [09:30] Ace42: the system has been improved recently to make such configuration unneccesary. xorg knows best. [09:30] Ace42, lspci | grep -i vga in terminal === ece is now known as dsf [09:32] luckymurali, ramzwap is installed but configured at 0 % usage (disabled).

Then rebuild initramfs images with "update-initrams -u -k all" [09:33] Ace42, mm not sure then since I rarely work with Intel graphics.... you might have to add modlines for your graphics in the xorg.conf but then again I rarely do that myself anylonger...I am sure someone here can help with that [09:33] yes this swapoff saved my time and the results [09:33] hi [09:33] thanks guys :) [09:33] Idon't have an xorg.conf, I gathered it was obsolete post-HAL [09:33] is skype supposed to be present in medibuntu's repos for 64 bits? [09:33] luckymurali: oh.. didn't expect that.. thanks for explaining [09:33] I am a little puzzled why running a database in 'memory' (where vast amounts of it are swapped to disk) is faster than running it from disk (where as much as possible will be cached in ram anyhow..) [09:34] Ace42, you can probably generate one with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:34] foormea: I think so.. I think I installed it using the medibuntu repos [09:34] basically ubuntu will _always_ put as much as possible in real memory and leave the rest on disk, no matetr how you think you have it configured [09:35] Slart: 64bits right? [09:35] zcat[1], i'm a little confused why with 8gb ram there is need for any swap at all? [09:35] I'm sorry for being stupid, however I just went to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and I found only 32 bit, is there anyway I can download the 64bit? [09:35] foormea: right.. 64bit karmic.. "Installed: 2.1.0.47-0medibuntu2" [09:35] zcat[1], actually the query execution only takes more RAM when there is insufficient memory i will drop all the effort [09:35] Slart: ok.. [09:36] so I dont want to take that risk(because it is data oriented) not recommended by DBA's [09:36] mnowluck: there's supposed to be a 64bit download in the same place.. isn't there a "select another variant" button? [09:36] zcat[1], running a database in 'memory' will pin the data in active RAM as long it's used, unlike on disk for which you are dependent on cache availability and which is shared with other disk I/O operations [09:37] Slart: nope.. it showed me only 32 bit [09:37] mnowluck: look a little below and you will see a line saying , more options ......... [09:37] is it because I'm on 32 bit? [09:37] mnowluck, go to ubuntu.com and just under the "Sownload loaction" is Alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer fo [09:37] mnowluck: try "alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer for windows".. right below the "Download location" selector [09:37] mnowluck, I meant "Download locations" [09:37] hey guys, wondering if anyone could lend me a hand...i cant get my touchpad to work on my laptop. i installed somthing earlier and now i can get the touchpad option in System > preferences, but wen i open it, it says "Gsynaptics could initialize" i need to set SHMconfid "true' ect... any help would be great [09:37] is anyone facing any problems in weather.com weather ? [09:37] Who was looking for 64bit Karmic download? [09:38] joaopinto: I'll take your word for it, but all of my experience with memory allocation says there will be no practical dofference at all. [09:38] oh I'm sorry LOL! I have to just click on the more options.. thanks [09:38] mnowluck: alternative download , > choose architecture [09:38] mnowluck: on the right side it says "Choose the architecture" with options for 32bit and 64bit [09:38] ph33r, let me check === Barbiegentooer__ is now known as Tina- [09:38] i want lucy liunx [09:38] coz_: thanks, I can't seem to fetch weather by the xoap service for bagalore India :/ [09:38] !lucid | indus [09:38] ph33r, ah I see mmm [09:38] indus: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:38] riverbird, swap never hurts, if you are doing reading/processing operations over 7GBs of data, and if you have 7GB of sleeping apps that can be swapped out, those 7GBs can be used for disk i/o caching [09:39] cant wait for the LTS 1 [09:39] !

[09:39] coz_: I use conky [09:39] zcat[1], this is theory, for the real thing you would need to benchmark it :P [09:39] but I can't access the webby either [09:39] * shyam_k trying to get gprs from mobile through data cable [09:39] ph33r, mmm I never use conky so I am not real familiar with settings for that [09:40] but wvdial says of error code 16 that the modem is disconnecting the link though i can see chap authentication succeeded.. [09:40] Grah, no xorg.conf generated, and it seems it is a problem a lot of people have run into [09:40] coz_: but I can't even access the website for bangalore india, INXX0012 [09:40] Seems like a HAL problem [09:40] ph33r, is bangalore india close to another location that may work << just for testing [09:41] coz_: chennai India [09:41] ph33r, give that try to be sure it is weather.com [09:41] anybody know the "Moduleload" is part of which package? [09:41] hey guys, wondering if anyone could lend me a hand...i cant get my touchpad to work on my laptop. i installed somthing earlier and now i can get the touchpad option in System > preferences, but wen i open it, it says "Gsynaptics could initialize" i need to set SHMconfid "true' ect... any help would be great [09:41] ph33r, and perhaps a few other locations [09:41] coz_: ok [09:42] hey guys if i have all my media in various other partitions how do i link them to the folders under places?

[10:27] somebee: or wait.. command line.. nevermind [10:28] riverbird: the ethernet is ticked.. that works all good.. using laptop on ethernet now.. hmm... right click gives me option to "edit wireless network"... no option to search or roam for a nearby one though.. i tihnk it'll only let me manually setup.. [10:28] need the best download pro in linux / [10:28] ? [10:28] I have even deleted single files that were over 10GB each, and the server still reports 4GB available [10:28] [12:27] I removed by mistake sudo with pacman. Whoever pacman saved /etc/sudoers as /etc/sudoers.pacsave, so when i installed again sudo i removed the new sudoers and used the old. But when i run a command using sudo i get this: [10:28] [12:27] sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440 [10:28] [12:27] sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting [10:28] somebee: no it doesn't.. unless someone has aliased rm to make some kind of homebrew trash feature [10:28] what is the best pro in download in ubuntu ? [10:29] riverbird: it's all greyed out in wireless options [10:29] Goliath: have you been editing your sudoers file? [10:29] what is the best downloading pro in ubuntu ? [10:29] !best | subsam [10:29] !patience | subsam [10:29] subsam: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:29] subsam: 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. [10:29] zamba: can you tell me your setup [10:29] subsam: to be quite honest I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for.. wget is nice for terminal downloading [10:29] Newbie-Widget, is there a box to 'enable networking' or 'enable wireless'? [10:29] indus: do-release-upgrade [10:29] indus: looks like the way to go [10:29] zamba: yes works too [10:30] can anyone help me with this window tearing problem im having? [10:30] indus: only problem is that i'm using an apt proxy [10:30] indus: and that seems to be blocking the upgrade [10:30] riverbird: yes, there's an 'enable networking' box, it's currently ticked [10:30] Hello , how can i cancel the ssh session time ? so i can leave the ssh connection open for unlimited time ? [10:30] zamba, you also have the option of using a program that sends same terminal command at once to many machines [10:30] airtonix: yeah, going to use cluster-ssh [10:30] all this pros is so bord [10:30] board [10:30] zamba: does the normal update process work? [10:30] indus: sure [10:31] zamba, no i think its called something else, but if that works for you then thats good [10:31] zamba, look at keyboardcast too [10:31] subsam: have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_download_managers [10:31] Seveas: oh.. is that 'better'? [10:31] i'm ask for fastest one [10:31] Newbie-Widget, but nothing for wireless? ok [10:31] subsam: What is your native language? There may be a channel which is better suited for you. [10:31] riverbird: nope, nothing :S [10:31] zamba, it's GTK so looks nicer, has a nice spawn option and an option to grab existing windows [10:31] Seveas: ah, ok [10:32] Newbie-Widget, seems it is not recognizing your chip yet .. [10:32] so I consider it better :) [10:32] hi! a not really ubuntu related question... after i've downloaded a source code in a tgz or via svn, how can I "convert" it to build and work with it in an IDE, e.g. CodeBlocks,Visual Studio, Netbeans, etc. they are always creating something called "project"... but what to do with the plain source files. how is this "conversion" called [10:32] sry . i don't speak inglish well [10:32] forgivin if is there any mistack [10:32] subsam: No problem, what is your native language? [10:32] Does there exist a program for ubuntu that will group all tasks in the taskpane, so that e.g. all terminals will be grouped together, all browsers will be grouped together etc. ? [10:32] arabic [10:33] is anyone willing to talk to me in private chat to help me with some GUI issues? [10:33] naaxaa: not entirely sure you can do it, generally speaking [10:33] allister: ask here is good [10:33] zamba, i think it might of been dsh [10:33] subsam: you might want to look at gwget [10:33] !info dsh | zamba [10:33] zamba: dsh (source: dsh): dancer's shell, or distributed shell. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.25.10-1 (karmic), package size 34 kB, installed size 184 kB [10:34] not good [10:34] riverbird: anything i can try to check if its online, or maybe uninstall and re-detect ? [10:34] well i was fixing my wireless issues, and when i finally found a solution and install the stuff, after i restarted, my screen has almost no framerate [10:34] windows tear really badly if i try to move them [10:34] so does scrolling anything [10:34] Hi guys, is there an javascript SDK for eclipse? I know jeclipse exixts but i am not sure if it is available for ubuntu karmic [10:34] and images wont load on webpages [10:34] like the others [10:35] allister:is visual effects on [10:35] i need somthing like dab or idm [10:35] no [10:35] zamba, you also have these two commands (somewhere) : http://www.stearns.org/fanout/README.html [10:35] it wont let me even enable visual effects [10:35] cut the files and get the fastest download speed [10:35] ive authorized my driver and everything [10:35] Slart: really? so how does open source programming work if I can't open the code easily? [10:35] and i dont have compiz running either [10:36] Does there exist a program for ubuntu that will group all tasks in the taskpane, so that e.g. all terminals will be grouped together, all browsers will be grouped together etc. ? [10:36] naaxaa: you mean.. how does open source programmers survive without a fancy IDE or similar? [10:36] Diverdude: you can right click the task bar and choose to group in the prefs [10:37] naaxaa: use a text editor.. emacs, vi(m), gedit... any of those will work [10:37] Slart: well I don't like IDEs but I am confused: how does a source tarball and an IDE project comes together [10:37] hey guys im a bit lost with the grub loader at startup theres a couple versions of ubuntu.. which is the correct one to load and how can i clean it up so i can only pick the correct ubuntu version and windows? [10:37] !who | allister [10:37] allister: 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 :) [10:37] !code | naaxaa [10:37] naaxaa: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, QtCreator [10:37] subsam, firefox plugin i use called downthemall, you might like it (lets you download one file with multiple threads) [10:38] ardchoille, hmmm i dont see that option [10:38] skitzo:, I have the same question. [10:38] excuse, me every body , i need a download pro like idm or dab in ubuntu ? [10:38] Diverdude: right click the left edge of the taskbar applet, choose preferences and then choose grouping [10:38] cobhcf82, ITS ANNOYING AYE! [10:38] naaxaa: unless the developers themselves use a certain IDE I'm not sure you can.. many use text editors of different kinds [10:38] thanx dude bt this is a very normal program [10:38] Newbie-Widget, maybe try rebooting if you haven't. and check here for more .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros [10:38] Slart: ok thanks :) so I see this is not an easy task after all? [10:38] naaxaa, open source programmers work with their projects the same way any other group of programmers do. [10:39] skitzo: yup, no idea on how to clean it up. [10:39] ardchoille, ahhh yes there it is [10:39] coool :D thanks [10:39] yw [10:39] Newbie-Widget, i'm not sure how you loaded drivers, so not sure which parts of that page will apply [10:39] naaxaa, also : why do you need to 'open the code' [10:39] skitzo: when I installed there was only 3 version. but since then one week has passed and suddenly one more appeared out of nowhere. lol [10:39] naaxaa: nope.. have a look at the make files and autoconf.. I think those are pretty common.. both can be used with plain text editors [10:39] airtonix: ok it's not about opensource or not, my question is if you have a bunch of source files but you don't have a project file, how do you build your project [10:39] cobhcf82: that happens with a kernel update [10:39] river: ok, thank you anyway, you've been great help ;) .. ill check out that link and try rebooting [10:40] :) [10:40] riverbird: i mean :) [10:40] ardchoille: how do I do a kernel update? i am quite new to ubuntu [10:40] Slart: yeah I know. but there are projects out there without them. how do those people do it? [10:40] cobhcf82: just make sure your system is kept up to date [10:41] naaxaa, understood, 1) you typically get the source files from the projects website ( they usually have a revision control server setup) 2) you obtain latest set of files with the CVS/git/bazzar/etc client 3) then you make a new project in your IDE of choice 4) point the projets root dir a the root dir of the files you just sync'd [10:41] naaxaa: I'm just going to repeat myself.... they use a simple text editor =) [10:41] ardchoille: yeah, i run the update manager every 3,4 days [10:41] can ubuntu be put into an iphone touch 3gs? [10:41] naaxaa: (simple text editor might be something huuge and complex like emacs.. but still) [10:41] cobhcf82: that will do it. But the fact that you now have a new kernel "from no where" is because of a kernel update [10:41] ah ok [10:42] airtonix: aah.... that's it! I would never tried it couse i were affraid that i overwrite it :D [10:42] archoille: why is there 3,4 version of ubuntu on the GRUB loader though? how can i clean up the old ones? [10:42] ardchoille, so which kernel should we pick when choosing? which is the latest? [10:42] ardchoille: why is there 3,4 version of ubuntu on the GRUB loader though? how can i clean up the old ones? [10:42] Newbie-Widget, that page should help. check the blacklists and isntalled packages. also read the forum post [10:42] naaxaa: you open a source file.. edit it the way you want it.. save it.. then use a terminal for compiling, building or whatever you want to do [10:42] airtonix, Slart : thanks! [10:42] riverbird: will do, thanks again :) [10:42] Newbie-Widget, alternately, get a pc card w/ better support - [10:43] ardchoille, and can we edit the unused ones out to clean it up [10:43] Slart: yeah I know this method but i never get it how to do it with an ide [10:43] Newbie-Widget, hah! [10:43] kubuntu questions answered here? [10:43] cobhcf82: skitzo , I don't usually mess with kernels and so am not qualified to give proper advice. I just keep them all. [10:43] how do i rearrange order of widgets on default kde panel? [10:43] Slart, airtonix : thank you very much! now I've gotta go. bye! [10:43] cobhcf82: skitzo , The latest one will have the highest version number, I do know that [10:43] ardchoille, so is there any real difference between them? [10:43] ardchoille: thanks man, its not problem for me. Just annoying to go past 6,7 lines to select win 7. :-D [10:44] skitzo: yes, could be bug fixes and/or security updates [10:44] ardchoille, thanks anyway [10:44] cobhcf82: yes, I agree. There are folks here that can help you clean them up so keep trying === lance is now known as Guest99294 [10:44] hi [10:45] ardchoille: thanks mate. will do.

[11:36] someone can help me with some basics over wubi [11:37] Nickmman, sorry, wrongly tabbed. [11:37] i entered password but it gave messege like inserted some in keyring etc [11:37] but didnt mount anything [11:37] yaaar, I immagined that. And how are they flagged 'system'? How can I manage them? [11:37] gp can you click on it in Nautilus? [11:37] yaaar, np [11:38] NickRiviera, you do not manage them, usually, and they are flagged by having a low uid. [11:38] no my system boot in readonly file system [11:38] NickRiviera, the system manages them by itself. [11:38] so i got read only root shell access [11:38] gp: then you need to fix that first. [11:38] gp: why did it boot into readonly mode only? [11:38] its gives some ecrypt error then boots into root shell [11:38] Is there a way to increase the time the system waits for the root filesystem and others? [11:38] yacc, Ok, suppose I need to change the user under which mysql runs (from mysql to sql). Is that too much of a hassle? === _Sharker is now known as Sharker [11:39] NickRiviera, Why would you want that to do? [11:39] yacc I don't, but suppose I did. [11:39] NickRiviera, And yes, it's almost not worth it, because all kinds of system scripts will probably break. === Sharker is now known as Guest10878 === Guest10878 is now known as Sharker [11:39] whenever I try to install anything it shows this http://is.gd/5pQKl [11:39] yacc, since they all know mysql runs under user mysql...

[11:40] Hello, im building a ATi Radeon driver http://ccite.dk/xorg.conf but i cant get compiz to work any suggestions [11:40] NickRiviera, exactly, all packages that need to have their own user manage them with the provided automatic tools. [11:40] yo yo yo [11:40] yacc, is it possible to login as one such user? [11:41] kinja-sheep, thanks [11:41] yacc for instance, login as mysql? [11:41] NickRiviera, sudo su -s /bin/sh mysql [11:41] but no, usually you cannot just login into such users. [11:41] yacc can you break that down? [11:41] sudo => get root [11:41] http://ccite.dk/xorg.conf - No compiz, any suggestions [11:41] su change user [11:42] those I knew... ;) [11:42] -s /bin/sh => user that shell (because most system users have no shell by default) [11:42] mysql => which user. [11:42] ahhh! [11:42] Anyway to increase the timeout for the rootfs? [11:42] NjA: which version of Ubuntu? [11:43] yacc: there is a boot option to change that.. [11:43] erUSUL, details? [11:43] yacc: while booting i get error ...error inserting padlock_sha === _Sharker is now known as Sharker [11:43] Hi everyone. I have upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10 and my usplash screen has stayed the same. How can I upgrade it, so that it displays the latest official usplash screen? === Hiall^ is now known as Hiall [11:44] after it enters read only root partition [11:44] whenever I try to install anything it shows this http://is.gd/5pQKl [11:44] yacc: looking it up ... there are two. "rootwait" waits forever. rootdelay=[seconds] [11:44] gp: yeah, you've got a problem with modules and so on, you need to fix the problem with your readonly rootfs and the root shell first. [11:44] yacc: the last one should be obvious === Sharker is now known as Guest12740 === Guest12740 is now known as Sharker [11:44] yacc: two more questions: 1) Are users/permissions/groups in Ubuntu too different from other *nix flavours? 2) Where should I look to learn more about users / permissions / groups for linux in general and/or ubuntu??? [11:44] yacc :how [11:45] hi all [11:45] NickRiviera: linux is posix. like many other unix. the security model is the same. there are posix ACL [11:45] NickRiviera, google, only thing is that Ubuntu like Debian defaults to "each user has it's own group", (google that too if you wonder why), ... [11:45] yacc: how do i fix my problem [11:45] pl tell me [11:45] devD: try "sudo apt-get -f install" [11:45] gp, well, padlock_sha is not the reason why you drop into a root shell. [11:46] ShapeShifter499: ddrescue can write to a file and if you mount a remote server you can save the file on it over the network. same as most of the commands [11:46] gp, you do have already readonly access to your root filesystem? [11:46] yes [11:46] you know what your root device is? [11:46] devD: sudo apt-get -f install [11:46] gp: fsck /dev/YOUR_ROOT_DEVICE [11:46] batasan, ActionParsnip1 I have tried that too and the result is http://is.gd/5pQNP [11:46] yacc, yeah I noticed that... doesn't happen on Red Hat... [11:47] YOUR_ROOT_DEVICE == sda ? [11:47] NickRiviera, if you want to figure for yourself, lookup umask and what setgid does when set on directories. [11:47] sda is the whole disc. [11:47] devD: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/splashy_0.3.13-5ubuntu1_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [11:47] Also, I'm consufed as to why users have a 'main group' with their own name (or rather username) and when you 'manage groups', the user himself isnt't ticked inside his own group... [11:47] ActionParsnip1, ok [11:47] gp, /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda should give you the partions on your disc. [11:47] devD: please log a bug for plashy_0.3.13-5ubuntu1_i386.deb as there is a duplicate file [11:47] Ok, need to reboot. [11:48] ok [11:48] pozic i got jaunty [11:48] devD: the lne:  trying to overwrite '/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh', which is also in package lsb-base 0:4.0-0ubuntu5 should also go in the bug, so it can be worked out === _Sharker is now known as Sharker [11:49] pozic it did not work, maybe another command [11:49] devD: the same file from the splashy deb will now go over the same file which is already on your system, dpkg just doesnt like overwriting stuff [11:49] devD: so we use the force to say its ok to do so === Sharker is now known as Guest70761 [11:49] TeLLuS: ok [11:49] yacc so when I manase my user, atannus, my main group is atannus, but when I manage group atannus, my user 'Andre Tannus' isn't ticked in that group.... that causes my brain to hurt.

[12:47] steveire: /etc/apache2 [12:47] question: re: evdev and generic 5 button mice... theres an awful lot of info on this, mainly old, and mainly pertaining to MS intellimouse... is there a newish and relatively authorative link to a 'how to' that makes it easy to understand and do? Does this kind of tinker usually work regardless of what kind of mouse it is? .. should i even bother or is it generally a PITA? [12:47] thanks [12:48] hi [12:48] I deleted /dev/sda2 and recreated it using fdisk, this was my swap partition, which i had disabled prior to deleting, now my system wont boot, why is that? [12:48] steveire: why do you need it btw? if you just want a lamp server, that should all work automatically [12:48] Huck, can you open the text file : /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the single line here that mentions "medibuntu" [12:48] I was trying to get to my router page on firefox I entered ifconfig -a .... but none of the ip's work.... am I doing something wrong? [12:49] jadakren, thanks man [12:49] ok sure what i must write in terminal? sudo gedit? [12:49] berrybarry: ifconfig -a will tell you the ip addresses of your network interfaces, not the address of the router [12:49] !sp | brian24 [12:49] ?

Im about to install Ubuntu 9.1 on a ThinkPad with a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. When I switch to 64-bit version on Ubintu download page, the file name when downloading is: ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64. Does this mean its wrong version ( for AMD processors ) or is it just a confusing file name? Thx in advance. [12:53] Sumpen: it's the right disk [12:53] Sumpen: amd64 is intel 64bit too [12:53] howlingmadhowie so being a programmer and having like lots of files i should not worry of losing anything? [12:54] howlingmadhowie and llutz; thx guys! [12:54] howlingmadhowie: I'm using django, not php [12:54] Sumpen: basically, AMD created the 64 bit extensions to the intel i86 architecture, so people often still refer to it as AMD64 [12:54] Sumpen: just avoid loading ia64 ;) [12:54] amd64 is amd's revenge. In the past you used to put i386 into every system, including amd processors... [12:55] < googling ia64 [12:55] HaskellLove: well, there are always hardware faults and there could be bugs i don't know about [12:55] hello. when i click on the network icon from the top panel, in 9.10, it sais on wired networks: device not managed. how can i make it to manage my wired networks too? [12:55] HaskellLove: so best to back things up :) [12:55] howlingmadhowie> how? [12:55] or you mean backup put on another disk [12:55] jadekran did u see my last pastebin? [12:56] HaskellLove: that depends. i use an external harddrive and sometimes a usbkey. that's all i need [12:56] hi all i am running 9.10 and have an ATI 4830 graphics card i run the restricted driver tool and it tells me it has the driver but it's not activated when i click activate nothing happens any help?

[12:58] psicobra: i don't think it does. that's a bug in this program, because it really should do. [12:59] ok will leave it and see what happens thanks [12:59] psicobra: so basically you just press activate and wait for a while :( [12:59] k will do [12:59] psicobra: if all goes well it will say "you need to restart to activate this driver". but that could take a number of minutes on a broadband connection [12:59] i think my MBR is fucked, how do i fix this people? [12:59] np thanks [12:59] roof,reinstall grub [13:00] roof: reinstall the boot loader/grub you need to use. [13:00] !grub [13:00] 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. [13:00] !grub2 [13:00] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:00] the thing i dont understand is why deleting my swap partition would effect the boot process? [13:01] roof: provided you use UUIDs it should be ok [13:01] is the new partition i created now set as bootable, if so, how do i set the other partition as bootable [13:01] roof: check the uUISs you are using [13:01] roof: the order of the disks could have changed. and perhaps the uuid;s deoending on what you did [13:01] roof: i don't think grub needs the disk to be set as bootable. [13:02] i dont even get the grub boot loader coming ip i get "no bootable disk - please insert and reboot" [13:02] roof: you can toggle the bootable flag by using fdisk, but make sure you have a good tutorial or guide before doing so [13:02] roof: boot to liveCD and you can diagnose [13:02] roof: oh, then you need to reinstall grub [13:02] im in livecd now, but not sure whats happened [13:02] do i need those? [13:02] [15:02] orbit2-2.14.17-1 startup-notification-0.10-1 [13:02] [15:02] pyorbit-2.24.0-2 [13:03] is grub installed to MBR or is it chainloaded from primary boot loader? [13:03] roof: it's chainloaded [13:03] do i need any of those? http://pastebin.com/m732b477d [13:03] Anybody know the syntax for using sed to replace \ with / in a file? I cant get it right. [13:04] so what is stored in the MBR? [13:04] roof: run: sudo blkid then read your fstab on your internal partition [13:04] roof: barely more than a pointer to the existing grub. [13:04] a flag that tells it where to find the 2nd bootloader - the foot flag [13:04] JuJuBee: a guess: sed 's/\\/\//g' [13:04] works here [13:05] action, its not the FS thjat is that issue, I have no secondary bootloader at all. [13:05] alankila: I was using " not ' thanks [13:05] its as if there is no disk, it must be MBR [13:05] JuJuBee: " works too but then you need to \\ every \. [13:05] I guess... [13:05] roof: ten use the liveCD to rewrite grub2 [13:05] howlingmadhowie, how do i check the flag? [13:05] alankila: Ah, ok. [13:06] i have ubuntu live running [13:06] roof: sorry, i dunno :( pc hardware isn't my speciality :( [13:06] ikonia: hi [13:07] JuJuBee: to make it less confusing, use different separator, sed 's=\\=/=g' [13:07] roof: you can run: sudo fdisk /dev/diskname e.g. /dev/sda and make sure the partition is marked as bootable [13:08] Zeppelin, i am sorry, may be i had forgotten password [13:08] roof: then install grub2 to the mbr, then check the UUIDs to make sure stab is mounting the right partition as / [13:08] startup-notification what is this for? [13:08] oh yeah i found the option [13:08] that should fix is now, it was no longer set [13:09] roof: if all that is in place then the system will boot [13:09] startup-notification-0.10-1 is this for gnome? [13:09] the rest of my system should be fine, i am wondering if recreating the partiiton fscked the MBR [13:09] hello folks [13:10] man its a mission getting the cd out of macbook pro [13:10] I'm using samba on ubuntu server 9.10 with an external hard disk mounted on /srv/samba/share.

[13:15] Bam_Bam: what do you mean to 'bridge' ? [13:16] Well, I need a tunnel to the remote network that the virtualbox can use I think [13:16] I don't really know what I want so I'm having a hard time explaining [13:17] You could set up virtioalbox to have a normal 'lan' ip as if it was a real machine. and do a tunnle to/from it as if it was a real box on the network. [13:17] ie: my home lan Main machine 192.168.1.100 virtualbox on Main machine 192.169.1.101 [13:18] well what can i do it? [13:18] Dr_Willis, I have a linode VPS that I would like to tunnel the virtualbox traffic through [13:18] hi there [13:18] Could someone enlighten me on the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. Have I understood it correctly that the correct way to install it is to have one Master server and several nodes and that all of these together build up as one large Virtual Machine server - or shoud I rather user several VMWare servers to install the Master and Slave nodes on? [13:18] Huck:Sorry I don't know what went wrong in ur 64 BIT [13:19] No idea on how VPS's work. ive never really used one. Id imagine you could just set vbox to use the vps stuff as you would a real machine.

[13:22] I have a problem with ipw2200 driver and firmware for it. I use Ubuntu 9.10 and when ipw2200 module is loaded, it uses 100% of CPU, and spams syslog with: "Firmware error detected.

Anyone has ideas to fix it? === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [13:28] wvd: use ndisgtk instead, it does a lot for you [13:28] can I make ubuntu 8.10 fast on a 384mb ram computer with 1,200+ old processor? [13:28] ActionParsnip1: It doesn't do 'modprobe ndiswrapper' [13:29] can anyone help me please? [13:29] hello :) [13:29] wvd: it will configure the system to load it at boot [13:29] wvd: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ndisgtk will let it install everything you need [13:29] Hi everyboyd! [13:30] one question [13:30] !ask | Milos [13:30] Milos: 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. :-) [13:30] tobiash: if you can consider using lxde instead of gnome, you'll save a lot of memory. 9.10 contains a light version called "lubuntu", you could try that. [13:30] ActionParsnip1: I don't have internet, I did 'Reinstall package' by double clicking on the .deb I got on my CD. [13:30] that smiley doesnt gowell with the factoid [13:30] wvd: why did you rm that module? get it back from kernel-package [13:30] ok i waited ages the activate button does nothing [13:30] how i make the file "resolv.conf" with my personal configuration? [13:30] alankila ye lxde works decent :) But my bro didn't like it much because of the look [13:31] i need a bash one-liner which can display lines from a set of files which have the word "test" and display the filenames beside it. [13:31] wvd: use a wired connection [13:31] alankila it's his worthless computer, but he still uses that pile of crap [13:31] zubin71: man egrep [13:31] llutz: How do I get it back from the kernel package? [13:31] wishkeep: gksudo gedit/etc/resolv.conf [13:31] wishkeep: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf [13:31] ActionParsnip1, thanks! [13:32] wishkeep: 2nd one (missed a space) [13:32] wvd: download kernel-packe, extract the modules [13:32] tobiash: you could also try something called compcache and gnome with 9.10. And get rid of firefox, it's slow & bloated, chromium or epiphany-webkit is much faster... [13:32] llutz: should I automatically reinstall ndiswrapper? [13:32] wishkeep: if you use network manager or any of that muck, it will overwrite the file when it starts [13:32] wvd: ndiswrapper won't install the kernel-module (afaik) [13:32] wishkeep: so add the DNS servers to the config of the app, rather than the file [13:32] yes! [13:33] wvd: modules are in linux-image-$(uname -r) [13:33] on app? [13:33] llutz : thankx :) [13:33] wishkeep: do you use network manager or wicd or someting like that? [13:33] llutz: but how come ndiswrapper was there before? [13:33] yes NM [13:33] wvd: because it is installed together with your kernel [13:33] wishkeep: ok, so when that app loads, it will destroy the settings and put in its own [13:34] yes, i know [13:34] llutz: sec, ndiswrapper isn't automatically @ your system, right? [13:34] wishkeep: so you need to put the settings you want into network manager [13:34] alankila Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is loading like forever [13:34] alankila even on lxde [13:34] wvd: the kernel-module called ndiswrapper.ko is, just the ndiswrapper-utils aren't [13:34] how i do? on preferences? or editing my network? [13:34] tobiash: www.google.com/chrome [13:34] and add on DSN space? [13:34] wishkeep: i dont use network manager [13:34] jejeje [13:34] llutz: so, ndiswrapper.ko got there when I installed linux? [13:34] wishkeep: click round, it will be there [13:35] tobiash: well, I guess you should forget about gaming on the system. It would be worth it to examine whether that is due to lack of cpu, lack of memory, or extremely slow disks, though. But I'm not too surprised... [13:35] ActionParsnip1: jeje, thanxs a lot!!! [13:35] wvd: yes, and that's what you deleted with your last line of the bpaste (stupid action) [13:35] ActionParsnip1: one more thing, jeje [13:35] alankila he's got old ide 40gb drive 384mb ram and old ass duron 1200+ [13:36] indus: tobiash: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [13:36] wvd: and to get it back, you'll need the kernel-package of your kernel [13:36] I have a problem with ipw2200 driver and firmware for it. I use Ubuntu 9.10 and when ipw2200 module is loaded, it uses 100% of CPU, and spams syslog with: "Firmware error detected. Reseting" Does someone know how can I fix this problem and make wifi work? [13:36] tobiash: just run top in one window while the game loads and see if the cpu is pegged at 100 % and if swap usage is increasing, that gets a bit of notion about which part is the bottleneck, probably. If the drive is very slow, or badly configured somehow, that could also matter. [13:36] ActionParsnip1: thats a ppa, not advisable always [13:36] llutz: well, I'm trying to configure my wifi for ~15h, so I kind of did everything they said (as I'm pretty new to linux) [13:36] Milos_SD: you need firmware for your wifi card [13:36] hello, i have just installed fedora 11 and i had ubuntu karmic installed on a different partition ( i think they use different grub versions) can any one tell me how to add ubuntu to my current grub list to be able to boot to karmic again ? [13:36] llutz: it seems that I cannot find it at the packages.ubuntu.com [13:36] Why doesn't Broadcom STA Wireless Driver DOESN't want to Activate!!! [13:36] llutz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kernel&searchon=names&suite=karmic§ion=all [13:36] indus: it means its installable from software sources [13:37] ActionParsnip1: if I change de permissions of resolve.conf file to only read.....i will fix it? [13:37] ActionParsnip1, i know that, I have linux-firmware package installed [13:37] wvd: it's linux-image-$(uname -r) [13:37] tobiash: one can test the drive performance with something like bonnie++ to establish if it can read/write at reasonable rate like 30-40 MB/s or if it goes 5 MB/s because of some awful misconfiguration. [13:37] llutz: with apt-get? [13:37] ActionParsnip1, and there is ipw2200-*.fw files in /lib/firmware [13:37] ActionParsnip1: yes but its still not official google chrome [13:37] wvd: yes [13:37] wishkeep: no it will always be overwritten afaik, you can markit as read only maybe [13:37] its chromium in development [13:37] llutz: i can't use apt-get atm, no connection at ubuntu. [13:37] indus: its the same code and the bugs from chomium go into chrom [13:37] alankila last time my bro was copying something to a pendrive with speed less than one mb/s [13:37] e [13:37] hello, i have just installed fedora 11 and i had ubuntu karmic installed on a different partition ( i think they use different grub versions) can any one tell me how to add ubuntu to my current grub list to be able to boot to karmic again ? [13:38] in my computer it was like 40mb/s [13:38] indus: chrome is just a less cutting edge chromium [13:38] ActionParsnip1: ok thanxs againXD [13:38] hi, is it possible to start a daemon on startup after another daemon has been started? [13:38] ActionParsnip1: no,bugs from chromium stay there [13:38] I mean like a dependency? [13:38] tobiash: that's probably due to slow USB ports. Old computers do not have usb 2.0, only 1.1 at best, and that is 1 MB/s. [13:38] null_kuhl: search ubuntuforums.org for "Grub 2 guide" [13:38] chrome is a fixed beta release unlike the chromium project [13:38] alankila ye that is prolly it [13:38] Kopachris, null_kuhl: The forums are currently down for maintenance. [13:38] Oh. [13:38] Kopachris: but fedora 11 doesnt use grub 2 , [13:39] It doesn't? [13:39] i just prefer google's products [13:39] Hmm... [13:39] Kopachris: i dont think so [13:39] null_kuhl: in theory if you let ubuntu handle the bootloader with grub2 it could see/auto add fedora to its list. [13:39] but they are somehow diffrent then other firmwares there... icon is different (nautilus says it is a TGA image) :S [13:39] not projects :) [13:39] Hey guys, ubuntu forums.org go down? [13:39] indus is that chrome that light? or you just advertise? [13:39] CrusaderAD: for maintaince - yes. [13:39] tobiash: it's possible to upgrade to usb 2.0 via pci expansion cards, but that's likely just waste of money. It is time to upgrade. [13:39] Dr_Willis: so i just mark the ubuntu partition as the active one ? [13:39] tobiash: its light indeed , try and see [13:39] ok, thanks doc === miguel is now known as Guest29634 [13:39] indus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome says: In September 2008, Google released the entire source code of Chrome, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open sourceproject entitled Chromium [13:40] indus: same code [13:40] indus gonna give it a shot [13:40] ActionParsnip1: that doesnt make chrome into chromium [13:40] indus: just more bleeding edge [13:40] null_kuhl: Not sure. I havent bothered to try different disrtos with grub2 yet. If i want to test different disrtos i just use virtualbox. [13:40] indus on my own computer I would never use anything other than Opera :P But bro's comp is just worthless [13:40] ActionParsnip1: i take that code and make a browser called dousedfox ,so its not chrome then [13:40] null_kuhl: or if each OS is on its own hard drive. You could put the bootloader for each os on its own HD then use the bios menus to pick the hd to boot. === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [13:40] ActionParsnip1: but i get your point [13:41] indus: cool [13:41] tobiash: dont expect good flash performance though, its still crappy [13:41] chrome does borrow some code from mozilla [13:41] indus flash is worthless in linux world [13:41] Where can I download the kernel-package of Ubuntu? I need to reinstall it, but can't find it at packages.ubuntu.com (NO, I can't use apt-get) [13:41] tobiash: well, was great upto 9 [13:42] Has anyone here heard or seen that wubi bug with the new grub in 9.10? [13:42] iam wondering if i can find some old flash 8 version [13:42] indus even my comp doesn't satifsy me with fullscreen performance not being as smooth as it should be [13:42] many sites still support it due to crappy flash 10 [13:42] indus adobe sucks [13:42] nvm off topic now ! [13:42] indus: flash works better than firefox under chromium here [13:43] i need some help .. Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [13:43] ActionParsnip1: yes better but still not good like older 9 [13:43] what really went wrong with 10? i still dont get it [13:43] indus: very true :( although 10.1 looks promising [13:43] what does one do when that happens|? [13:43] its their worst release ever [13:43] works great on windows though :) [13:44] vegombrei: sounds like a typo in uyour sources.list [13:44] vegombrei: paste that list [13:44] anyone got mapi working properly in evolution? i got it somehow connected and it knows about my folders & mail but doesn't display them... actually scratch that... it's somehow that my mouse clicks don't work properly on the >/V dropdown control in the folder list!!! how do I fix that? another thing i noticed is that I can't click the buttons in the evolution preferences dialog, it's some sort of focus weirdness [13:44] lets hope 10.1 will fix the performance [13:44] Where can I download the kernel-package of Ubuntu 9.10? I need to reinstall it, but can't find it at packages.ubuntu.com (NO, I can't use apt-get) [13:44] need help in watching streamed video (veetle) could any1 help? [13:49] wvd: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ [13:52] aliquerer: the site demands you diownload and insstall veetle-0.9.15-linux-install.sh [13:52] Dr_Willis: Yes, i have done that [13:52] aliquerer: i did so.. and theng asks for me to ok a EULA for some reason then saya -> Installing to /home/willis/.mozilla/plugins and /home/willis/.veetle_vlc [13:52] aliquerer and then the site still fails to work [13:52] Dr_Willis: dont understand really ut i think youve got it right [13:52] y some of the flash sites dont work well with ubuntu? [13:52] aliquerer: the site dosent work. [13:52] Dr_Willis: ok thats pity [13:52] prabha1989: because those sites often do goofy things.. and of course adobe/flash under linux is often goofy also [13:52] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [13:52] coudl anyone one help me installing Sopcast then? [13:52] Can someone help me with grub2 please?

[13:53] Kopachris: Any idea? [13:53] MASARUwota, I want to install grub2 onto a second disk, which I then want to put into another computer. [13:53] aliquerer: they got a linxu forum - says the plugin dont work properly with 64bit linux. one user said it worked with FLOCK for him in 64bit [13:54] hi all === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [13:54] Dr_Willis: k thanks for the info [13:54] Dr_Willis: ok im not using 64 bits however is it same to me? [13:54] perpetualrabbit: yes? just install it and put it nito the computer then :p [13:54] wvd: not a clue. lemme search a bit more [13:54] i need a small help with respect to Ubuntu. I have installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop version on VM. now iam not able to connect to internet. Can somebody help me regarding this [13:54] Hello , does its possible to use tar command to extract (tar archive) without the folders structure ? so all files will be extracted into 1 folder ? [13:54] is there a lib in repositories: Couldn't find a new-enough version of 'libtoolize', please install one! [13:54] aliquerer: no idea. check their forums is all i can suggest at this time. [13:55] Kopachris: I could reinstall my whole ubuntu system.. if needed. [13:55] Dr_Willis: ok thank you [13:55] Shay27: no, that would need the tar to be editted before extraction which doesnt make sense [13:55] MASARUwota, well, it does not work of course. I did the following: /usr/sbin/grub-setup --force --directory=/root/target/part_root/boot/grub --device-map=/root/target/part_root/boot/grub/device.map /dev/sdh [13:55] is there a way that i can copy a working installation (on a failing hard drive) directly to another hard drive so that i dont have to reinstall? [13:55] wvd: I don't you'll have to do that, but you might have to compile the kernel--something I've never done. [13:56] Why doesn't Broadcom STA Wireless Driver DOESN't want to Activate!!!?? [13:56] MASARUwota: what i mean is that i have tar archive containing files and folders , i would like to extract the files to 1 folder without the folders structure from the archive ? [13:56] anyone know where i can get the old school "flying toasters" screensaver for ubuntu? [13:56] MaSSaSlaYeR: why , what happens when you click activate [13:56] Shay27: the file manager 'mc' can view/extract teh contents of a archive as if it was a directory [13:56] MASARUwota, but when I put the disk in the other machine, it says "GRUB" and then nothing happens [13:56] Shay27: the folders are part of the tar. [13:56] MaSSaSlaYeR: use: gksudo jockey-gtk to run it [13:57] can somebody help me ? [13:57] perpetualrabbit: does it work fine on your first pc? with ONLY that HD? [13:57] Could anyone help me installing Sopcast? [13:57] which is better for programmers, ubuntu or debian? [13:57] !ask|stanley_robertso [13:57] stanley_robertso: 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. :-) [13:57] ActionParsnip1: still not activating [13:57] good morning [13:57] I already asked ubottu, but none replied :( [13:57] HaskellLove: debian is quicker, but you need to configure stuff more manually [13:57] anyone know if there is a ppa for karmic and the new wacom bamboo pen tablets? [13:57] stanley_robertso: yes [13:57] stanley_robertso: What is your issue? [13:57] i need a small help with respect to Ubuntu.

[13:58] MASARUwota, there is an installation on the first disk, which I want to clone onto that second drive, /dev/sdh. The other drive numbers (b,c,d,e,f,g) are cardreader slots btw. [13:58] HaskellLove: less out of the box GUI bloat [13:58] any help in this regards, would be of great help [13:58] stanley_robertso: Are you using NAT or bridged connection with the VM? Also are you using vmware, virtualbox, etc? [13:58] MASARUwota> i guess i should script ruby perl in debian to make scripts and use the command line all the time?

[13:59] its a router [ ADSL Router ] [14:00] MASARUwota, so I partition and then clone the disk with tar and such. The first disk is fine, that linux runs ok. The second disk need some kind of grub-setup command which I do not seem to get right and info on the web is dreadful :-( === aaron11 is now known as timmmmy [14:00] basically iam connecting to the modem directky [ which is an ADSL Router ] [14:00] MASARUwota> well what do you mean by manually, talk to me ...

[14:00] perpetualrabbit: just put in the disk on its own, install grub, test if its working, and place it into another computer. [14:00] MaSSaSlaYeR: wait a sec [14:00] ActionParsnip1: ok [14:00] stanley_robertso: in what virtual machine did you use? [14:00] MaSSaSlaYeR: whats it say now? [14:00] how to find out ? warriorforgod [14:00] ActionParsnip1: there just comes: PCI (sysfs) [14:01] could I get help starting web based vnc? [14:01] Dr_Willis, i didnot get your question, sorry [14:01] stanley_robertso: It is on the network configuration page for the vm in virtualbox console [14:01] MaSSaSlaYeR: ok try: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product [14:01] ActionParsnip1: trust me, debian uses less out of the box drivers and runs less during startup. thus, its quicker =) [14:01] stanley_robertso: 'in a vm' theres several VM's you could be using.. vmware? virtualbox? some other? [14:01] its a NAT warriorforgod [14:01] ActionParsnip1: however if ubuntu is really quick already you shouldnt bother, i guess [14:02] any software available for web based vnc?

I need a routine that can do this on a disk that I choose. So I need to know how grub2 does it. [14:02] stanley_robertso: Try changing it to bridged and reboot the vm.

NOw apt is angry and says it can't fully remove the missing stuff. How do I fix that? [14:02] stanley_robertso: You have read the vitualbox docs? they got a decent pdf manual at their homepage. Ive rarely had networking issues with it. You may just need to set the proper config for the vm [14:02] MASARUwota: true, use minimal ubuntu and install lxde, nice and minimal ad slick, no need for a gui logon either ;) [14:02] warriorforgod, i will try it now [14:02] !broadcom [14:02] No I couldn't use apt to remove it because it had no space left on device.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:44] alabd: debugging is impossible, you don't have the code, even if you could find out what was wrong you couldn't fix it [15:45] so its the authentication process that is slow since upgrading to karmic. it is also slow during the ltsp thin client user login process [15:45] is this any problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/342777/ [15:45] djyox: what happen if you use sudo apt-get install something -s [15:45] djyox: that error we want [15:45] how can i change the properties of my panel (taskbar) when there is no unoccupied space to right-click?

[15:47] xiong: then instantly other icons occupie.... and yes thats ont the solution im looking for, cause i regularly need this [15:48] alabd technically it's possible to open the executable in a hex editor and debug it in hex. [15:48] iceroot_: how would i test that? [15:48] jelly-bean1: typing getent passwd [15:48] hey #ubuntu. I'm porting a LOT of code from windows to ubuntu and have a decent amount of unc paths being used for file access. In looking through the samba docs it looks like I'm going to have to create a mount point on my system for every other machine on the network i need to access... is that correct? Or is there some way I can just hit the shares via unc path name? [15:48] alabd but, it's stupid. It'd actually be quicker/better to just rewrite the application from scratch... [15:48] maybe this has something to do with eCryptfs? [15:48] iceroot_: do you know how to encrypt files for programs, and yet have those programs run as if everything was still in the file?

System > Settings > Display just shows 1360x768, and a few 4:3 resolutions. EDID fails because the KVM switch cannot pass it. However - where does "Display" get this not so usual resolution from and why can't I enter my own resolutions or why is there no bigger set of resolutions available. It's not that there are resolutions that are compatible with all screens. [16:32] thnx [16:33] testi: man xorg.conf [16:36] hi [16:36] on an acer aspire one using xubuntu 9.04 what's the best keyboard layout to choose hopping to add the superl key [16:36] Hey does anyone know how to make a grub splash screen? all the tutorials I found online are old [16:38] does the standard ubuntu 9.10 come with a firewall?

First I'd like to figure out why that tool seems to show a random set of resolutions instead of all possible resolutions OR in the restrictive case only resolutions that are supported by every single monitor (since EDID fails) - How are these resolutions determined? [16:40] My sound currently does not work properly.

[17:21] jack_spratt: Gparted should to the trick, but backing up one's data is always well-advised when mucking about with partitions. [17:21] jack_spratt, gparted will work. Be very careful not to shrink a partition too small [17:22] Assil, im looking at the forums and I cant find anything for your machine, I would either open a new thread and try to get help that way, or just try 9.04 [17:22] jack_spratt, you should see the amount used with gparted [17:22] crypt-00: by too small you mean beyond what is available in free space [17:22] crypt-00: OK.

Not having dealt with USB printers much, I'm not sure what else to try.. Can you try to set it up as a generic pritner in System → Administration → Printing? [17:37] DopeGhoti, the thing is that the POS application (Openbravo) I'm using supports /dev/ttyS* [17:37] DopeGhoti, that's why I initially asked for a COM emulator [17:38] I have here two Ubuntu 9.10 machines. Each has a shared folder on the desktop, with the boxes checked for "share this folder" and "enable guest access." When I try to browse to them from an XP machine, one of them can be accessed with an arbitrary username and a blank password, and the other cannot. [17:38] DopeGhoti, the printer works with CUPS, but from the software (java) I don't get the desired output [17:38] caja2_: does it support /dev/lpr? [17:38] tried javapos and nothing [17:38] Assil, also, try 9.04 and see if it works on your machine [17:39] I guess yes [17:39] mezquitale: is there a netbook version ? [17:39] DopeGhoti, I guess yes [17:39] let me check [17:39] The ubuntu with the working samba share is 'VM', and the one that is not working is 'laptop.'

[17:40] Assil, http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [17:40] qwyeth: are both systems running a Samba server? [17:40] DopeGhoti, ok, thanks for the help [17:40] caja2_: good luck! [17:40] I think I'll have to try some other stuff [17:40] thanks! [17:40] DopeGhoti, both systems are running the flavor of Samba that is automatically installed when I clicked on "share this folder" [17:41] Assil, make sure you download the correct version [17:41] I'm trying to install the proprietary drivers for ATI legacy on Jaunty.

[17:41] buenas [17:42] I am about to install Ubuntu in a dual boot configuration having already installed Windows and got it partitioned as I want it (why do M$ make it so hard to have a mounted partition for the home directory as is common and sensible practice in linux?!!!). Now the problem is gparted doesnt recognise any partitions on the hard disk and sees the whole thing as unallocated. Windows boots quite happily and sees all the ntfs partitions. I have run gparted f [17:42] DopeGhoti, no, it can't. [17:42] qwyeth: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo netstat -plnt'? [17:42] mezquitale: i on a bad shape :( my internet connection sucks ! [17:43] If anyone has any idea about my ATI problem, I'll give more info as needed too. [17:43] hi [17:43] what's the equivalent of gnome-session-save --gui --logout-dialog in hardy? (gnome 2.22) [17:43] tomstoms: looks like the ATI driver you've downloaded doesn't support your kernel version based on that output. Only a guess though. [17:43] hi all. i'm trying to install some drivers and i'm getting errors. check here http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/m78ef1e7d any idea?

[17:45] tomstoms: Sorry, I use Nvidia cards [17:45] DopeGhoti, SMS to cell phones [17:46] hi to all [17:47] qwyeth: again, on laptop, make a directory in /mnt for the share, and try 'mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.0/share /mnt/share' (with laptop's actual IP and share name) [17:47] how to set up realplayer codecs in totem [17:47] qwyeth: qwyeth sudo as needed :) [17:47] of course ^_^ [17:47] !hello | nasrullah1 [17:47] nasrullah1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [17:47] Can anyone tell me how to make my thinkpad trackpoint work in Ubuntu 9.10? I have tried gpointing but it doesnt really do anything. Also I have tried copying that file into the policy dir but it does not work either (after restart) [17:47] DopeGhoti, you were right. The kernel is too new (and any kernel on Jaunty is too new for the legacy ATI drivers.) [17:48] anybody ever had the problem that pidgin or empathy wont show any contacts? === batman is now known as Guest84061 [17:48] DopeGhoti, the problem is, when I suspend to RAM, I cannot resume. The screen stays black, and I'm thinking it's because I'm using the open source radeon driver instead? [17:48] grimtooth: is empathy just not doing anything at all? [17:48] grimtooth, yes, it's a setting that hides all offline users [17:48] grimtooth: like it opens but doesnt connect or anything? [17:48] it says im connected and im aviable but no contacts are online [17:48] tomstoms: I've had problems with STR as well sometimes. Have you tried hibernating? [17:49] oh [17:49] if i start up pidgin under windows it show 10 online [17:49] so thats weird [17:49] DopeGhoti, nope, not yet. I would prefer to use S2R though, and I might as well do a full shutdown instead of hibernate, since I don't mind waiting a few extra seconds to boot. [17:50] tomstoms: you can isolate the ATI driver you're using as a cause by dropping to text-only console and testing with 'apmsleep' [17:50] DopeGhoti, it's strange, because on openSUSE 11.1, suspend/resume worked fine. Is there something it did differently? [17:50] DopeGhoti, you mean runlevel 1? [17:50] tomstoms: to stop the X server, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (save your data in open apps first, this will kill your X serveR) [17:50] tomstoms: or three. [17:51] DopeGhoti, I thought runlevels 2,3,4 and 5 don't exist in Ubuntu? [17:51] realplayer codecs for totem [17:51] tomstoms: well, with 9.10, it uses upstart, but still has wrappers for runlevels [17:51] Okay, so when I do apmsleep, it will output any problem modules that may be interfering? [17:51] tomstoms: apmsleep is the CLI tool to suspend to RAM :) [17:52] tomstoms: (specifically, apmsleep --suspend) [17:52] realplayer codecs for totem player [17:52] eh, trying to finally upgrade my gutsy to hardy. by changing my apt/sources.list from gutsy to hardy, did i hose anything? [17:52] DopeGhoti, oh, okay. And by not having the X server running, it will rule out the ATI driver? [17:53] tomstoms: exactly :) [17:53] DopeGhoti, sounds awesome. Thank you! I will be back with a status update. [17:53] plainhao: is there a readon you didn't just use the update manager to upgrade? [17:53] tomstoms: good luck!

[18:05] if anybody knows of something perhaps like a sendmail snap in, that works the same as sendmail but uses a remote smtp server and acts as a wrapper around sendmail [18:05] Ramosa yes its safer to have a seperate home patition that way if you fill up home with personal data your system will still boot [18:05] that would be greatly helpful [18:05] barryberry [18:06] join #camhelp with me [18:06] Shawn, what size you recommend for root and for home partitions if I have about 80 gigs to dedicate [18:06] I will see if I can get some guru's in there with us [18:07] Ramosa about 20 or 25 gigs to / and then double your ram to swap and the rest to /home [18:07] any oen facing problem with amsn liek loging taking very long [18:07] DopeGhoti, nope, that didn't work- [18:08] qwyeth: can you pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf ?

What does it means? [18:14] Samuel: what do you have installed right now? You mean the binary name of the installer the live cd uses? [18:15] Dr_Willis, yes, I'm using the live CD [18:15] isolat3dsh33p: not sure. does findcd find it? [18:15] Samuel: the icon on the desktop dosent work? [18:15] Dr_Willis, no, it booted into command line, not x windows [18:15] I forget the name of the installer program. and if its a desktop cd. there is no cli installer... [18:15] Samuel: desktop cd or alternative installer cd? [18:16] Dr_Willis: Command not found. :/ Anyway thanks.

The partition numbers will all be different as the dual boot config is different to when I made the backup. I will also need grub installed to the MBR as I have installed windows too. Can grub automatically generate menu.lst and add an entry for windows or must I do it by hand? Or is this a job for super grub disk? [18:20] jsmidt: going to need more information, apt-file shows 100+ packages with config.h [18:20] plustax have you enabled mic in sound settings [18:20] plustax: flash in linux - im not sure can use any cams. see if it works in the cheese program. [18:20] Dr_Willis: If there's no IP for USER-PC, that means it's something that has no connection to my files or anything from me right? Hope i'm right. [18:20] Sinister: It's actually a one-liner, but again, you'd lose most files with duplicated names after digits were stripped [18:20] Oh. Its Jaunty by the way so I guess that might mean it wants to use grub 2? [18:20] ok i will [18:20] isolat3dsh33p: i woudlent think so. Not sure where it could be comming from. Unless its a router.. You are not running anyting in virtualbox are youi? [18:21] Dr_Willis it does work in the cheese program, and I have seen many users use cams in flash based applications who used ubuntu or mint. They said that it just worked no problems for them. [18:21] plustax: ive seen people ask that exact same question in here about flash/webcams.. and never seen a definitive answer. [18:21] DopeGhoti, whats the one line ? [18:21] plustax: check the forums perhaps thers some fix/tweak. or could be its an issue with specific cam make/models [18:22] plustax I got a solution run a virtual machine :) [18:22] I think it might be.

[18:22] Dr_Willis wow in cedega [18:23] isolat3dsh33p: if you are running ubuntu - most likely not. You could try a live cd and see if the unknown machine shows upwhere also.

The chip is Ralink based. [19:33] Yes. [19:33] epaphus: AES-128 is much faster than AES-256. AES-256 is more secure, but it's not necessary to have that strong [19:33] really, 256 is overkill [19:33] no matter *what* you're doing on there :) [19:33] To sebsebseb and qwyeth, I have Ubuntu 9.10.

[19:33] Clueless2: not ubuntu per say but linux can be set up as a router google linux as a router should give you something === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [19:34] colin__: Not all hardware just works on Ubuntu, because of lack of manufacture support. It might just work in another distro though. It also might work in a previous version of Ubuntu, because certain hardware that used to just work in 9.04, doesn't in 9.10. Also you might be able to figure out how to configure it and get it working, but for new users this won't be easy. [19:34] !wireless | colin__ [19:34] ctmjr ..thanks for your input. I'll do that right now [19:34] epaphus: You can, you just have to manually set up using the instructions provided. AFAIK, the installer won't let you choose. Is there a reason why you need AES-256? [19:34] mod3st, according to this http://www.cjlinux.com/system/installation/how-to-install-ubuntu-with-an-encrypted-file-system.html it is 256 AES [19:34] To qwyeth. Yes. I posted a message on ubuntu forums, but I founded my drivers but don't know how to install them so Ubuntu could recognize my hardware. [19:35] What's the hell with ubottu...( How can I make loval repository? [19:35] epaphus: So I'm wrong! Thanks for double-checking. [19:35] Basso: apt-mirror :) [19:35] colin__, you might have a hard time with this device. It's very new, and there isn't a lot of information about it available. I'll dig for a bit and see if I can find anything useful; I wish you luck. === zenergi_ is now known as zenergi === secret is now known as Guest53528 [19:36] !emerald [19:36] !compiz [19:36] sebsebseb: the bot is lagging pretty bad might have something to do with the problems freenode is having [19:36] !lag [19:36] ctmjr: it said that the bot left [19:36] Thank you very much. Just another question. I was just wondering if it was possible to make Ubuntu recogzine any Ralink based devices? [19:37] colin__: depends on the device [19:37] I guess [19:37] Please give the bot a few minutes to sync before requesting factoids. [19:37] colin__, there are plenty of ralink chipset devices that work with ubuntu... [19:37] sebsebseb: oh ok i turned off join/parts do to all the netsplits [19:37] colin__: last time I checked, support was pretty good for normal stuff (802.11b/g) [19:37] hola [19:37] Can someone help me get my remote desktop working [19:37] it says it's only available for local connection [19:38] * xrandr mourns in silent contemplation the loss of ubottu :) [19:38] But I want to have a friend from quite out of the area get into it. [19:38] ctmjr: oh ok, well yes it will flood with peoples name when they leave or re join, but it could be useful to see that, so you know if things are working properly or not [19:38] That's exactly what I have. A EUB 9706 wireless N USB adapter, Ralink based chip (802.11 b/g/n) [19:39] join #mapserv [19:39] colin__, this device isn't a normal wireless adapter... it's designed to make configuration in windows easy; it seems that when you push the button to activate it, it's supposed to pop up something in windows that circumvents typical configuration steps [19:39] that might mean that without the full-fledged windows driver you're hosed [19:39] qwyeth: so he trys Ndiswrapper ? [19:39] trism: thanks a lot for your help, but I don't know how/where to get the correct lines for root=UUID=(bunch of numbers) for the Fedora install. Any idea? [19:39] I think the button you pushed is supposed to connect to your router. [19:40] or modem. === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | FAQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Karmic is released! http://www.ubuntu.com/download & http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [19:40] !emerald [19:40] Man, never buy a Drobo. Hopefully I can save someone else a headache by saying that. [19:40] do .ko files in /lib/kernel/drivers take precedence over drivers found elsewhere? If I wipe them, will they get rewritten or rebuilt? Or if I delete them, will I be in big trouble? [19:40] colin__, but it advertises that the button is supposed to also handle encrypted connections. For that to work there would have to be a way to enter that information from the keyboard [19:41] anyone else having trouble with vlc. Did a fresh install on Karmic and its all screwed up. [19:41] So, it would be a heck of a job to make it work? [19:41] colin__: If it's new enough I guess you can return it, get your money back, and buy a device that is supported properly by Ubuntu [19:41] won't even really start, have to dump the proc to quit [19:41] err... start properly [19:41] colin__, i think there are some general n network support deficincies [19:41] Support deficincies with 9.10? [19:42] colin__: wireless has always been a problem area, for Ubuntu [19:42] ,becasue of lack of manufacture support [19:42] just the 'n' type networks [19:42] hi im getting this error when trying to play *any* video file with VLC "Streaming / Transcoding failed: VLC could not open the encoder." [19:43] So, with any other usb adapter, there is a risk I could get problems? [19:43] I'm betting on yes. [19:43] colin__, what are you trying to do? just have wifi or ..?? [19:43] is emerald part of compiz? [19:43] Yeah. My computer is old and does not have a wifi card. I just want to get wireless internet on my laptop. [19:43] jelly-bean1: Emerald is a window decorator, and isn't part of Compiz AFAIK [19:44] colin__: oh right [19:44] alazyworkaholic: you can use sudo blkid /dev/sda3 (whatever the name of the partition with fedora root is) to get the UUID [19:44] colin__, there are lots and lots of wireless dongles that Just Work in 9.10.. if you buy another you'll probably be fine [19:44] hey guys, quick queston about setting drive order [19:44] colin__, how about a pc card? i have an old machine with a d-ling gwl-650. works good [19:44] but it wouldn't hurt to look it up first [19:44] colin__: buy something that is supported and you will be ok, can I use the bot yet hmm [19:44] !hardware | colin__ [19:44] !lag [19:44] hey peeps [19:45] Heck, I've even plugged in WWAN cards and had them Just Work. Not even Windows can do that. [19:45] alazyworkaholic: you could also just try root=/dev/sda3 (again whatever the correct partition is) [19:45] Do you happen to know a usb adapter that would work with 9.10 or a website with the compatible hardware? [19:45] !hcl [19:45] I want to copy my linux install, to another drive, as a backup. installed packages, files, the whole deal. can i just create an image of the partition (install is in a single partition) and copy it? [19:45] colin__: also you can try the windows driver in Ndiswrapper or something [19:45] my d-link gwl-650 just works [19:45] I tried. [19:45] * erUSUL where's the bot? [19:45] But It does not detect the hardware. [19:46] colin__: yeah, try the windows ndiswrapper [19:46] When clicking Applications menu there is nothing that pops up. However, places and system are there and do have menu items. Any clues how to restore the applications menu or rebuild it ? [19:46] erUSUL: keeps getting disconnected with Excess Flood [19:46] colin__: lspci doesn't list it? [19:46] colin__: the bot was going to give links to thatk ind of info, but it's not here at the moment, when it is back though. you can pm it with !hardware for supported hardware info, and !wireless for the wireless link. oh and someone can probably just provide those links actsualley [19:46] trism: k; thx [19:46] how would I go about setting the hard drive detection order for the kernel?

Try searching for 'keyboard layout hal' [20:14] DopeGhoti: it's crazy. When I run sh on the driver, and use the --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/karmic switch on it, it SORTA works. [20:15] insm0d, ok i'll google it out [20:15] thanks === oCean__ is now known as oCean_ [20:15] DopeGhoti: BUT, I gotta run it in the 2.6.31-14 grub option, and not the 2.6.31-16 option, and it accelleration is SOOOOO SLOW. Windows chop and stuff when I try and move them. The only advantage is I can set the resolution, and it doesn't run off the edges of my hdtv like it does with the standard video drivers [20:15] Hi, i was working with some c source file and runned it in terminal on gedit, i made a loop that runned for ever and in attempt to stop the program from running i clicked ctrl+c, now i cant open the file in gedit.

[20:26] DopeGhoti I know the mount points, I don't have the fdisk -l output available at this moment though, but I have it memorized [20:26] starcannon: just boot LiveCD, and copy /etc/fstab.pre-uuid [20:26] oCean_, as long as I can choose (and find the option) i'm happy ;) [20:26] epinky ah really?

[21:28] celtic426: sudo [21:28] usr13 ya i did that [21:29] TcP: you'll need to port forward 22 to the internal ip of the ubuntu box.

I activated a nvidia driver and now i can't bootup. [21:31] TcP: you'll need to look that up in your router documentation. it should be the same as any other port being forwarded. you should be able to choose which port you wish to forward. [21:31] usr13: i get the same thing.... a ttl that is flashing and going crazy. [21:31] dremits: file extensions shouldn't matter in linux. what is the file supposed to do?

Because howmany is commented and because it has no vista entries, however grub does display an entry for booting into vista [23:14] javatexan: well, there's only one user who can install any apps and do what DasEi just said [23:14] vis, no I did not do that; I simply switch back to the main account and try to fix things from there...

[23:20] Danielle: the factoid that ubottu told you as basically what I told you but with not every tiny little detail [23:20] Danielle: read it again: [23:20] mr_engineer, is the new kernel using its own "/boot" partition?

Suggestions? [23:21] in 30 minutes of using Ubuntu I found 2 more crash-bugs [23:21] mMezquitale, no.. everything its on the same partition...

I got it mount using mount.ctfs but autofs is not working for me. Can anybody help me with this? [23:22] vis, I have no problem at all as the user on the main account; it is just that I assumed that as another user I should have access to those external hard drive [at least to *read* if not to *read and write*]; I tried to change groups, to change owner, etc. [23:22] mataks: /etc/grub.d/40_custom also lets you alter menu, as mezq.. said === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [23:22] justine777w: delete some files btw how big is your partition ? [23:22] mMezquitale, also grub-probe needs a path,should that be boot? [23:23] i am very carefull with my system, yes [23:23] mr_engineer, try running grub-probe then grub-update, if that doesn't work then create a manual entry in "/etc/grub.d/40_custom", the one thing to remember is that grub begins counting from 1, so instead of hd0, you will use hd1 [23:23] DasEi: it says my partition is full but its not and i dont know which files to delete [23:23] justine777w: are you in live now ? [23:23] mMezquitale: grub2 counds hard drives from 0, but partitions from 1 [23:23] mMezquitale, but which path should I pass to grub-probe? [23:23] no [23:23] DasEi: no [23:24] justine777w:boot to live, come here again, so we can examine [23:24] DasEi: ok [23:24] Snaseges ; DSL ran fine off the same disk, so I re downloaded UNR from the website and will try it off a diff thumb drive ; it might just be a bad DL [23:24] mMezquitale, never mind, I read the --help and I think I got it.. Ill come back soon [23:24] vis, I understand that those HDs belong to the main user but when I tried to change the permissions with to allow group members and/or others to access them I encountered the same barrier: 'operation not permitted' [23:24] mataks: http://pastebin.com/m43c29b85 [23:25] After I login my lap get freeze, Ubuntu Karmic Openchrome drive Help me pleeeeese :( [23:25] DasEi: Do you think you might be able to answer my question, is there a way to reboot liveCD without loosing data that I added [23:25] Danielle: you can copy and paste to the terminal. === squelos is now known as Squelos_aw [23:26] Vonnick, i just downloaded it from http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/ and that copy doesnt say anything about Shredder 3... [23:26] mr_engineer, like trism said, partitions are counted from 1, just keep that in mind if you want to add a manual entry in 40_custom, if grub is not picking it up with grub-probe and grub-update then creating a manual entry in 40_custom usually does the trick [23:26] in fact that page.. (which is suppose to be the official) doesnt say anything about the Shredder 3 [23:26] Danielle: copy this command: sudo dpkg --configure -a [23:26] so it worked then it asked for a password and i typed in my administration password and it said command not found again [23:26] SirCharles: you can, but need additional storage then, live usb would work, or you go : [23:26] Danielle: then right click in terminal and click paste [23:27] !remaster [23:27] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD?

[23:28] vis, I have got to go now; I will be back tomorrow around this time [a little earlier is more likely]; thank you for you interest [23:29] mataks: you have a lot of surplus kernels taking up excess space, you will get about 120Mb per kernel in space. it will also tidy the grub menu [23:30] Danielle: you need to get your packages straight first before you can do anything at all [23:30] oh. ok [23:30] i dont know how to do that either [23:30] Danielle: now that has ran, run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade do you get any errors [23:31] !netsplit [23:31] !netsplit [23:31] Help Openchrome video drive [23:31] 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.
