For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:42] DasEi: how do i go about doing that? [00:42] achew22: I think so [00:43] occy: what does it do? [00:43] how can I restart my forgotten password? [00:43] ActionParsnip: it's a menu replacement [00:43] ActionParsnip: kinda nice system. [00:44] jtaji: any clue on where I set that?

[00:44] jtaji: which terminal is the one that it defaults to on boot [00:44] justine777w: you will have too boot to live and then some work to do, resize /home to get space to move one or two subfolders out of /root [00:44] achew22: I'm not sure, which one is default now? [00:45] y does thunderbird3 have tabs? oO [00:45] jtaji: Right now it is tty1 but I would like tty8 or one of the not setup ones to be the default [00:45] DasEi: resize /home in terminal? [00:45] occy: just watching a vid [00:45] does wine emulate the registry? [00:45] occy: seeing what its about [00:45] justine777w: no, partis to resize mussn't be mounted [00:46] tvaughn: wine isnt an emulator [00:46] tvaughn: it has a registry though [00:46] ActionParsnip: k It's default on OpenSuse... and it's a unique way to manage access to apps [00:46] DasEi: explain please. I do not understand what you mean [00:46] well a program im trying to use its registration wont stick [00:46] justine777w: other question: you are dualbooting windows ? [00:46] ActionParsnip: course i guess gnome menu editor probably finally works now though ;) [00:46] tvaughn: are you the owner of all te files in ~/.wine [00:46] achew22: hmm not sure...

I am not the one who put Ubuntu in my computer [00:47] jtaji: well you've been more helpful than 30 min of googling! Thanks a lot. [00:47] does kde use less ram than gnome? [00:48] justine777w: you would now if there was windows on it, too , nor ? [00:48] occy: if you right click the panel and click add item, you can add a few meus, one looks a bit like that. You can always compile it [00:48] is the person who forgot there pass still here [00:48] DasEi: okay, i guess not then. Its not an option when i start the computer [00:48] ActionParsnip: yeah was just hoping there was something I could easily apt-get install [00:49] justine777w: right, so for just any reason your /boot is ntfs [00:49] ActionParsnip how can i get my old username sixtila back? is smone else using it that i cant access it? [00:49] justine777w: (trml) lsb_release -a [00:49] DasEi: huh? [00:49] occy: try adding the main menu thing (possibly) [00:49] ActionParsnip: since the page I found was from 2006 I figured surely it would be in 9.10 by now [00:49] sixtila_: ask in #freenode [00:50] DasEi: what do u want to know from that? [00:50] occy: i found a page with a repo but its not up [00:50] justine777w: which distro ? karmic ?

[00:51] justine777w: Thank You! [00:51] ActionParsnip: I'll yell at Garrett who works for Novell the desktop perhaps they can help or somethhhing get an ubuntu package or some stuff [00:51] hey [00:51] LinuxCommunity: you are welcom [00:51] Chaosfactor: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? did you run the cd verifier?

[00:52] DasEi: 8.04 [00:52] ActionParsnip: yes [00:52] justine777w: ah, hardy then [00:52] Chaosfactor: you've probably never tried with a system with an EFI bios [00:52] DasEi: yes [00:52] Chaosfactor: install windows on a lesser sized partition than the whole disk space, this will leave free space for ubuntu and will take out the need to do any resizing [00:53] Chaosfactor: the linux install will then offer to use the free space for the installation [00:53] hey guys is there a way to remove the desktop component of Ubuntu 9.04 just so im left with ssh access [00:53] ActionParsnip; Gparted doesn't see my partitions [00:53] justine777w: taken that all together, I suggest to save your files and do a fresh install [00:53] what is the command in the shell to cp a folder from one place to another? [00:53] Chaosfactor: does: sudo fdisk -l show any disks / partitions? [00:53] sam555: cp -r, or cp -a [00:53] sam555: cp -r [00:54] sam555: cp -a [00:54] jtaiji and DasEi thanks much [00:54] ActionParsnip: Yes, but not what I setup [00:54] DasEi: I do not know how to do all that. I would like to have 9.10 on here but I do not have a clue where to start and I do not want to mess it up. [00:54] DasEi: is there another way? [00:54] Chaosfactor: do the disks show in the bios? [00:54] ActionParsnip; Yes [00:54] Hi all, [00:55] hi guys [00:55] How can I connect to a WEP 128 bitwireless network? [00:55] i was just wondering something [00:55] justine777w: as described above, but a dist-upgrade will let you run in the same space issue again at athis setup [00:55] Chaosfactor: ok then try some boot options to make it appear [00:55] !bootoptions | Chaosfactor [00:55] i have a ubuntu 32 bits version and got 4 gb ddr 3 [00:55] Chaosfactor: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:55] Pleaase [00:55] Please [00:55] and i thought that linux was managing to assume the 4 gb and use them [00:55] DasEi: huh? [00:55] but in fact it seems it tells me that i have 3 [00:55] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks for the help :0 [00:56] You need to use 64-bit Linux [00:56] jacquesdupontd: 32bit can only see a little over 3Gb ram [00:56] To get 4 GB to show up, or so I understand [00:56] jacquesdupontd: you can install 64bit as Alex_21says, or install a PAE enabled kernel [00:57] How about that wireless network. [00:57] justine777w: I really suggest you to back up important data and do a fresh karmic install, let the installer set the spaces [00:57] DasEi: is there a step by step list I can go by or anything like that? If I can go thru synaptic and download gparted, will i be ok? [00:57] jacquesdupontd: you can install the server kernel which has PAE enabled by default [00:57] sorry guys does anyone use ekiga?? [00:57] It is WEP 128-bit and I can't connect to it. How do I do so? [00:58] no [00:58] i use wep 64bit atm [00:58] a sec i'm with my friend she's going [00:58] to lazy to set 4 keys on my wap [00:58] Alex_21: you shouldn't be using WEP tbh [00:58] Why? [00:58] Alex_21: insecure [00:58] LinuxCommunity: me too but i use other security [00:58] manueljordison: i do, i called MIT a few times with it [00:58] ActionParsnip: such as? [00:59] justine777w: you got think about how to go : either you (we) have a some screwing around and the result will be a working hardy, hard to upgrade or pull of your personal files and do a fresh install, less hassle I think [00:59] I realize. [00:59] LinuxCommunity: weird subnet with no dhcp, mac filtering, hidden ssid [00:59] I can't control what the people running the wifi hotspot use [00:59] DasEi: So DL 9.10....and it will be simple? I wont mess anything up? [00:59] ActionParsnip: well i can hide my ssid no problem, i got a old old old wap, cisco ap4800e it's a classic [01:00] LinuxComunity: hey this is the first time i use irc and ekiga as well but i need to use the video camera feature [01:00] Linuxalso, only certain host names are allowed certain ip addresses [01:00] justine777w: the installer is simple, yes [01:00] justine777w: do you have a medium to back up your private data ? [01:00] LinuxCommunity: I am going to US and I need to use the software can you help me with sth? [01:00] manueljordison: well you have your video cam setup, just so you know im working off my memory here and haven't used ekiga in a small time [01:00] LinuxCommunity: only certain host names are allowed certain ip addresses, wrong target earlier === leoncismeck1 is now known as jimmygoon [01:01] DasEi: if I save my music and stuff can it go back on Rythmbox when i reinstall ubuntu? Do i have to clear my hard drive before installing 9.10? [01:01] anyone here running Backtrack 4? i have it running on a HP Mini 110, and i have no sound can't figure out why. I already edited the /etc/group didnt help [01:01] j9xinca: backtrack is not supported here. [01:02] j9xinca: backtrack isnt supported here [01:02] ActionParsnip: smart, a friend of mine doesn't have dhcp setup and has the router set to only allow certain ip's of course ip's and mac's can be spoofed but, if you got something like cisco running with verify reverse path then it's hard as hect to spoof trust me [01:02] justine777w: sure can get it back, and no, the installer will format the drive for you [01:02] manueljordison: sure [01:02] well backtrack 4 uses ubuntu 8+, this is only irc that would no [01:02] let me open up ekiga [01:02] manueljordison: let me install it first [01:02] know^ [01:02] LinuxCommunity: if the host name for the ip and mac doesnt match, it aint gonna get a connection [01:02] DasEi: okay I am going to try it out. Lets hope everything works out fine. Thanks for your help. [01:03] justine777w: the installe got a option automated partition, whole disk-- use it [01:03] LinuxCommunity: yes everything is done, but none here uses free software... I need to try Ekiga out 'cos i don't want to use any other private software... can anyone help me to find someone to talk to? [01:03] justine777w: you know how to save your files ? [01:03] manueljordison: im going to help don't worry [01:03] LinuxCommunity; Thanks [01:03] i just need to install ekiga cause again working off my memory isn't to smart [01:04] manueljordison: it should only be a min [01:04] DasEi: on a usb stick i will save my files. so since i have never installed ubuntu, it should be easy for me? i am just making absolute sure [01:04] justine777w: easier then repartition and in the result a system that can't be upgraded [01:05] LinuxCommunity: whoa this is incredible... I would love to find people using free software near here [01:05] DasEi: Okay, I will try tha [01:05] DasEi: thank you for all of your help. [01:05] justine777w: one thing .. [01:05] DasEi: yes [01:05] ActionParsnip: of course i have it broadcasting my ssid out there, but i can always limit the transmit power on my wap to like 5mW [01:06] manueljordison: well you will [01:06] justine777w:maybe try to get the live to work in irc once, so if you really ""fall you can go for further help [01:06] manueljordison: ok im ready let me setup [01:06] LinuxCommunity: nice, will implement that too ;) [01:06] LinuxCommunity: thanks :) [01:06] DasEi: okay how do I use Empathy to get to talk to you? [01:06] ok guys [01:06] sorry i had to say bby to my californian friend [01:07] .net [01:07] ActionParsnip: welcome, it's a good thing to have you can also try different encapsulation methods instead of RFC [01:07] so the fact is i'm just surprised cause i was sure i had read that linux had 4gb assuming as Windows didnt on the 32 bits version [01:07] ActionParsnip, then i surely know that 64 bits handles it but i don't care about 64 [01:08] ActionParsnip, and then for the kernel server i don't want a server on my computer [01:08] but the encap really wouldn't make it any secure === Ignatius is now known as Guest30811 [01:08] sometimes it does but certain aspects from my experience [01:08] jacquesdupontd: true but PAE will give a 32bit system access to more ram [01:08] justine777w: sorry, konversation is karmic default irc, server is irc.ubuntu.com, port is 6667 [01:08] ActionParsnip, and last thing, i would be ashame to know i've managed by tricks to make my Windows Seven handle and USE all my 4 gb memory on the 32 bits version and that i didn't managed on the Linux [01:09] ActionParsnip, it's not possible that Windows begins to have possibilities that doesn't exist in Linux or the world gonna go crazy no ? :) [01:09] jacquesdupontd: its not a "server" you are just using the kernel from the server install which has PAE enable by default, you can recompile the desktop kernel to have PAE enbled if you are feeling adventurous, you will get the same thing using the server kernel [01:09] ActionParsnip, tell me about PAE [01:10] !pae [01:10] read on wikipedia about pae [; [01:10] Is there any way to disable CPU scaling in Ubuntu [01:10] jacquesdupontd: websearch it, its WAY too complex to discuss here. a 32Bit OS can only access 3.2Gb of RAM due to 32bit address registers. a 32bit Windows XP will access the same amount of RAM [01:10] Tiders: yes. you find the /sys file which is called "scaling_governor" and echo "performance" into it [01:11] jacquesdupontd: so its not something windows can do which linux can't. Linux was one of the first true 64bit OSes [01:11] ActionParsnip, ok understood ! Things is first it's not a big big problem and then i don't want to reinstall at all, and neither to recompile my kernel. Aint there some new kernels that have PAE enabled by default that are not server kernels ? [01:11] what can be used to rip and burn dvds [01:11] jacquesdupontd: well, on desktop [01:11] tvaughn: acidrip [01:11] Tiders: I have chosen to add these two lines into /etc/rc.local: [01:11] echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [01:11] ActionParsnip, i know why it can't but i've managed to do it on Windows Seven 32 bits and you can be sure it's using the entire 4 gigs for real [01:11] and same for cpu1 [01:12] jacquesdupontd: you dont have to reinstall, you can simply install the server kernel, reboot and boot to the server kernel and youwill see all your ram [01:12] alankila, Does that mean I have to do it for each core... Cause I have 8 [01:12] jacquesdupontd: it can't its not possible, 2^32 is less than 4Gb [01:13] hey...i can't access all my drives from thuran file manager in xubuntu, and i really don't wanna dwnld a new manager....any advice? [01:13] afaik pae gives decrease in performance [01:13] jacquesdupontd, it is impossible for a 32 bit system to use 4+ ram. Physically impossible. [01:13] ActionParsnip, i assure you it's not a patch to make it stop bugging but a patch to make windows use it instead of using a pagefil.sys [01:13] jacquesdupontd: http://chris.pirillo.com/32-bit-windows-and-4gb-of-ram/ [01:13] it is possible. [01:13] hi i am trying for the life of me to get chromeos to run in either virtualbox or vmware but neither seem to like the .vmdk file... any sugestions? [01:13] manish: add them to fstab and give them user rights [01:13] ActionParsnip, i just ca assure you it does [01:14] jacquesdupontd: you need the server kernel or 64bit OS, that or not use all yuor RAM. Your call [01:14] it's even possible to get more than 4 gigs on xp, but requires some hacking [01:14] Tiders: you could write a script that does it for all [01:14] DasEi: can u explain how...m a newb, so... [01:14] ActionParsnip, i've tested to launch many apps to pass the bar of 3.5 gigs of memory and in the monitoring system it was shown that it was only using physicall memory and nothing about the paging [01:14] can anyone tell me how i can use the synaptics module for my alps touchpad instead of the alps module? [01:14] manish: open a trml .. [01:14] Tiders: for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do echo "performance" > $i; done. Perhaps. [01:15] manish: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [01:15] ActionParsnip, trust me, i can't tell you how it works but it does even if i know also that it shouldn't be possible at al [01:15] jacquesdupontd: your address registers cannot read or write past 3.12Gb RAM [01:15] jacquesdupontd, I don't care what windows tells you if it is 32bit it can not physically use 4 gb of ram. [01:15] Tiders: there is in all likelihood some smarter way to do this than what I just wrote, but I have not done the homework to find out what. [01:15] jacquesdupontd: then you have managed to address past the address registers in your CPU somehow, i doubt it [01:15] manish: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit , give url here [01:15] ActionParsnip, then what to say, my computer is magic and my system monitor is lying to me [01:15] jacquesdupontd: it must be [01:16] I fixed my issue [01:16] Does anyone here use Wifiradar? [01:16] DasEi: trying it now...hope it works [01:16] ActionParsnip, if we think that after using 3 gb of memory the windows will go and take in the pagefil.sys we can easily imagine that he ghost a part of the pagefile in the real resting physical memory [01:16] !netsplit [01:16] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:17] ActionParsnip: I'd like to note about 4G/4G split technology that also exists for linux [01:17] jacquesdupontd: your system is magical and defies common computing and maths [01:17] jtaji: do you know of a way to restart upstart (and force it to run my new tty1.conf) without actually rebooting? [01:17] as I understand it, by adding a penalty to the kernel-userland transition it's possible to expose 4 GB to a process at once. [01:17] linux doesn't do this because the penalty is huge [01:17] Another newbie here, using the v9.10/i386 install.

I'd like to open it to a friend use my postgresql database. How can I do it? What is the firewall of ubuntu 9.10? [01:25] pha: check that you have the 'vino' package installed [01:25] alankila, and then just restore ".ssh" in my home folder after the install? Can the same work with pgp keys using with evolution?

I want to backup my KVMs which run on LVMs (not image based). I want to do daily backups (Incremental) and a fully weekly and monthly backup. For storage i thought about a NAS / USB HD. I thought of doing it via cronjobs and compressors (anything with high compression) [01:26] pha: I responded [01:26] !firewall | Henry_BR [01:26] Henry_BR: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [01:27] mMezquitale: conceiveably yes. But I am not familiar with how evolution stores things. You should definitely keep your pgp keys in safe place, that's the whole point of having them: keep them the same as long as possible... [01:27] mMezquitale: I personally consider pgp to be utter waste of time, though. [01:27] gestahlt: I use a cron'd cp to a firewire drive. try a few, see which you prefer [01:27] hi [01:27] jtaji, ahh, thanks - I installed it - would I need a reboot for it to take effect, because it doesn't show. [01:27] is there a command to eject disk? [01:27] DasEi: it is desabled by default, i guess, because i can enable it [01:27] jedi06: oddly enough, it's called "eject". [01:27] jedi06: sudo eject /dev/sr0 [01:27] pha: hmm not sure, maybe log out of gnome and log back in [01:27] DasEi: i know, i was pointing out that i still have to learn this stuff, so can u please help? [01:28] ubottu: what is the firewall iptable or ufw? if I configure one , the other is configured automatically? [01:28] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:28] alankila, i'm only trying out pgp, havent used it yet, can you please tell me why you think pgp is a waste of time? It's not easy sending an encrypted e-mail? [01:28] ActionParsnip, it is in /media/cdrom [01:28] pha: oh yeah, right click on your menus, select Edit Menus... and make sure that menu item isn't disabled [01:28] ActionParsnip: Yeah pretty much what i had in mind. just with compression. With LVM Snapshots i should be able to make incremental backups [01:28] it is weird on the command line eject works but when i try to click the button on my laptop it won't work [01:28] Henry_BR: ufw is essentially a front-end for iptables [01:28] jedi06: thats the mount point but may work, i think you have to execute it on the block device [01:28] manish: what do you want to achieve then ? comming to a linux channel running windows saying can't access hd's .. erm want to use win to read ext ? [01:28] mMezquitale: it solves a problem that is mostly a nonproblem, of having more secure email transmission. In theory it guarantees confidentiality and authentication, in practice these aren't worth anything to anybody. [01:29] ActionParsnip, it worked with i did it on the mount point [01:29] jtaji - thank-you very much mate :) I will see how that goes. [01:29] jedi06: cool [01:29] ActionParsnip, what is a block device [01:29] jtaji: ah! =) thanks. [01:29] jtaji - I could kiss you, thank you very much mate - you are an absolute superstar! [01:29] DasEi: well then thank for the help so far...i'll figure something out [01:30] jedi06: /dev/sda1 is a block device which is representative of the first partition on /dev/dsa [01:30] pha: lol.. enjoy [01:30] jedi06: /dev/sr0 is the cd rom block device [01:30] why do they call it block device [01:30] jedi06: I think it could be because the disk is either mounted or used. The attempt to eject fails because the operating system has told the drive that it is not to eject the disc. However, the eject unmounts first. === Caplain_ is now known as Caplain [01:30] jedi06: its a block of data which can be read in many ways [01:31] jedi06: or it could be for some other reason. I think many cd-roms now tell OS that it's about to eject the drive and thus gets rid of the mount. Or some other dynamic is at play, because I certainly can eject the discs, mounted or not... [01:32] hi folks one quck qustion what's the famous domain to dynamic ip web resolver? [01:32] but it wasn't long time ago, 2-3 years, I think, when you always had to take care to unmount a cd before you could eject it from the button.

I finished the configuration, but when I try to boot from the client, The DHCP server works, but I get PXE-T01 error. All of the google results I found say that it comes from the client not knowing where to get the boot image, and that the error usually occurs [01:32] because the path in dcphd.conf is not properly defined. However, I double checked dhcpd.conf, and I defined the path correctly. Does anyone have any idea why it would refuse to mount?

[02:24] lstarnes, Iam extremely frustrated.. when I try to install the stable 3.0 from http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ (linux tar.gz version) it doesnt contain an installer, and its not a src iether to do a ./configure make make install... you have to manually put it in /opt .. then do a symlink.. and then you have to run it through terminal.. no installation procedures whatsoever.. why?? [02:24] epinky [02:24] epaphus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:25] epaphus: because that's the way mozilla does its packaging [02:25] lstarnes - I heard about another windows emulation program, but I cant remeber it [02:25] epaphus: and ubuntu's package guideliens prevent thunderbird 3.0 from being in ubuntu's official repos until the next release [02:25] tftech, Wine? [02:25] lstarnes, thank you! i neded that explanation [02:25] I thought someone said another one [02:25] epaphus: I just use the PPA builds [02:25] *guidelines [02:25] I will try Wine then [02:26] lstarnes, is there anyway i can make an icon?? this is for an end user.

[02:28] my wlan disconnects from the router on heavy traffic and i need to reboot afterwards to find any wireless connection again [02:28] anybody knows a solution ? [02:29] eliot_: there is a package in synaptic that lets you use all of the buttons on your mouse. search mouse or logitech... [02:29] epaphus: if it is for all users, put its directory in /opt and chown all of its files to root [02:29] lstarnes, hmm? that doesnt tell me how to do a desktop launcher instead of running it throuh terminal [02:29] lstarnes, ahh ok.. and then? [02:29] wlist scan [02:29] Goliath, you can try this "cat fstab.new >> fstab", the contents of stab.new will be concaatenated to fstab [02:29] I think it's command line only.

I think what you want is gnome-color-picker or something [04:13] use the tab complete [04:13] I'm no programmer, but I'm willing to learn [04:13] Erick_23: gnome-color-chooser === wet-chan is now known as wet [04:13] shouldn't be much [04:13] can you open a terminal? [04:13] do I hav to update my dependecies? [04:13] how? [04:13] Erick_23: If you use apt-get it will automatically solve dependencies for you. That's the point of it! :) [04:14] MAEL, Applications/accessories/terminal [04:14] Erick_23: "sudo apt-get upgrade" will update all of your software to the most up to date version in the repos. [04:14] Erick_23: "sudo apt-get install " solves dependencies automatically for you :) [04:15] Erick_23: dependencies have nothing to do with being up to date though [04:15] okay, like ms-dos (I'm a windows user previously, pardon me) [04:15] MAEL, at the prompt, "lspci -v" no quotes [04:15] What is the package name for flash player 10? Can't install it from the gui at all (9.04) [04:15] similar [04:15] can someone help me get my wirreless going please [04:15] edbian: Unless you need a higher version of a package than is installed [04:15] done [04:15] [edbian] is cause when I try to download gnome-colors I get message saying could not find package [04:15] mezquitale, thanks for the tip on the log, though im not finding anything (that seems to me) too out of the ordinary, no red flags i suppose [04:15] MAEL, this will LiSt PCI devices, Verbose [04:15] is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm?

[04:16] MAEL, find the blurbs w/ 'network controller' [04:16] yes [04:16] MAEL, should indicate wireless. copy it here [04:17] Also, i guess while im here, one other significant prob: i cant save my desktop resolution settings to the system as default. So everytime i restart i have to change the resolution to use the computer. Msg I get: Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. [04:17] Is there an easy way, because its from my laptop [04:18] comfnumb, check your hard drive for errors using fsck [04:18] is it possible to edit the .deb info after it's created? [04:18] (i accidently gave my package the wrong name) [04:18] Hey guys, if i setup a ubuntu computer (with a monitor attached) and then intend to use it without the monitor (via LAN) what is the best program i should use to get full access to it from a win 7 box? [04:18] mezquitale: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause [04:18] SEVERE filesystem damage. [04:18] ? [04:19] MAEL, or just look for the chipset specs .. PS6573 or something similar [04:19] OptimaD: GUI or non-GUI? [04:19] terinjokes both.. i can use vnc but i dont think its too good/fast and would lag ?

[04:31] I tried doing a sudo fsck. it didn't work [04:31] DazedNConfused, you can fix your ext3 partition like so "fsck [partition]", in your case, fsck /dev/sda3 [04:31] MAEL, you'll want to save them to your home folder [04:31] MEAL, yes [04:32] gera21, i dont think he even has drivers installed yet .. [04:32] so you can get your nic running [04:32] ok will try [04:32] DazedNConfused, remember DONT mount the hard drive [04:32] burzki, thats what i thought [04:32] what does iirc [04:32] mean [04:32] hello,all man.i use the linux mint8 for my pc and developing the java EE project use eclipse,but when i create a project,the next button can't work.... [04:32] ok its in the home folder already [04:32] mezquitale: isn't /dev/sda3 a swap partition? [04:33] MAEL, are you running 9.10?

AMD64 arch, using desktop-amd64 9.10 image, and on occasion (6-7 times within an hour last night) my desktop will simply freeze, with the exception of the mouse, which I can still move, but do nothing with. Not sure where to start troubleshooting this one...nothing in /var/log/messages other than some atkbd.c messages about unrecognized keys........ [04:36] fsck.ext2: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda5 [04:36] You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root [04:37] ...and when it freezes, I can still ssh to it from my laptop without problem..... [04:37] It won't let me be root [04:37] DazedNConfused, use sudo [04:37] how do you find installed applications in terminal? [04:37] !root [04:37] 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 [04:37] DazedNConfused: also, make sure the volume is unmounted before your fsck [04:37] Erick_23 use apt [04:38] Goodmorning [04:38] Its checking... [04:38] Ballsy: Try Ctrl+Alt+F2 [04:38] [koshari] I type apt in terminal? [04:38] /dev/sda5 contains a file system with errors, check forced. [04:38] Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes [04:38] Erick_23-> dpkg -L [04:38] DazedNConfused, you also have to be careful what you do, some of your partitions look like windows partitions, you have to tell fsck that it's a windows partition [04:39] Erick_23 check the manual, "man apt" [04:39] Erick_23-> rahter dpkg -l small ell not large ell [04:39] Erick_23 it will be apt-get something [04:39] mezquitale, not checking wondows partitions.. [04:39] I just copy/pasted this from the ati.amd website, and it's not computing in my brain. "32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work." Now does this mean I need to download and install the 32 bit drivers? Its not making any sense.

I'm going to /etc/X11/ but xorg.conf is nowheere to be found [04:45] MAEL, you will have to install it. it's on the install disc. you will have to enable 'CD' as a source in [04:45] running Ubuntu 9.10 [04:45] ubottu....hi,can you tell me which group for talking about developing program with ubuntu [04:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:46] how do I enable CD as a source in? [04:46] MAEL, System/admin/software sources [04:46] how about the menu from ubuntu can I change it? modify it?.. like colours and make it bigger or download any application that make it look like machintosh [04:46] hi [04:46] how do I start a java app from cli? [04:46] MAEL: you can only use the alternate install cd afaik [04:46] MAEL...can you connect a hard wire internet connection on that machine? [04:47] giday [04:47] hi,man .... ubottu [04:47] scunizi: java file I think it is [04:47] where is xorg.conf in ubuntu 9.10??? [04:47] jack_: ubottu is a robot [04:47] how do find / change my color depth? [04:47] Billiard, not true [04:48] I'm starting to think I need to DOWNGRADE my graphics card to the flippin ATI 2600 Pro. :( [04:48] IdleOne....who,ubottu,a robot... [04:48] Sylvie its not there by default but you can place overrides on an xorg file [04:48] IdleOne: it is a java file.. do you know how to start it? java [04:48] I hate Vista [04:48] Sylvie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:48] if i use the hard wire, then this one will be disconnected [04:48] jmyers, it's NOT there [04:48] LAWL [04:48] scunizi: yes " java filename " I think [04:48] Sylvie: Then it's been deleted somehow. System will run without it, until you install a driver that writes another. [04:49] koshari, I want to find out what my color depth is.... why can't I change it with the Display option? [04:49] jmyers, it's a fresh clean install. It has not been deleted [04:49] say what, I'll try using a hard wire, and then get back to this chat room from ubuntu.. i'll try and see if its succesful [04:49] Mael: normally, if you connect via hardwire run all updates you will be prompted to activate the wireless driver. It's a lot easier than doing it manually. [04:49] scunizi: #java probably can help more [04:49] Slyve: You've got to define color depth in xorg.conf [04:49] MAEL, it might be easier .. if you wire your other machine and do an update [04:49] IdleOne: good idea.. thanks. [04:49] this is bizarre: synaptic doesn;t like my password, but other programs that require it take it fine [04:49] leave you instruction page open .. ;-) [04:49] Vonnick, where the heck is it? /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist [04:49] Create it [04:50] Are there any settings that I have to do after connecting? [04:50] IdleOne.when you want to execute a java Program.you must cofnig the jdk but the openjdk is default in ubuntu 9.10 [04:50] Vonnick, where is not there? [04:50] or is it automatic? [04:50] mael: IF you don't get prompted to activate the driver check System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [04:50] Slyvie: Ubuntu 9.10 and up do not include a xorg.conf [04:50] Mael: it's just like any other wireless connection after you activate the driver [04:50] You've got to make one if you want it [04:50] and open the terminal,type the command :java javaFile.and run it [04:50] Mael: You might have to reboot. [04:50] MAEL, most of it should be automated for you at that point. when you think youre done, check the hardware drivers to enable it [04:51] Vonnick, why isn't there one by default with my current screen settings? [04:51] Vonnick, why can't I change my color depth usng the Display GUI tool? [04:51] Ok, I'll try my best, thank you guys.. see you soon (from ubuntu hopefully [04:51] Because xorg auto configures it [04:51] You can make a xorg.conf and it will use it instead [04:51] MAEL, [04:51] As for the gui, I don't know :( [04:51] Vonnick, xorg is stupid, I have blue and yellow dots because, apparantly, I'm running 256 colors somehow [04:52] MAEL, if you do get wired over on your ubuntu machine [04:52] yes? [04:52] MAEL, you can download xchat in the software center and get back here to IRC [04:52] Are you using the radeon driver? [04:52] is xchat the best irc for linux? [04:53] alrite, thanks burzki, u helped alot! [04:53] Vonnick, no, it's an onboard intel (or SiS) card, no hardware driver [04:53] disconnecting [04:53] !irc | matts [04:53] matts: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [04:53] who know the #java group [04:53] matts: it's the most popular graphical client [04:53] can tell me [04:53] !best | matts [04:53] matts: 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. [04:53] Slyvie: Oh, I have no experience with setting up intel stuff [04:53] :S [04:53] why doesn't synaptic like my password but other programs do? [04:53] a group for java [04:54] hmmm matts that was the wrong info. xchat is probably best you can get for GUI and irssi for terminal [04:54] Is there some Xorg problem in 9.10? seems to lock up somewhat frequently [04:54] can someone help me with my wireless [04:54] LzrdKing: what do you get if you run a sudo synaptic ? [04:54] IdleOne,i just add you to my friend [04:54] matts, xchat is nice in Gnome, irssi is great inconsole, konversation is nice in kde - empathy and pidgin do simple irc - depends on what you need and what you like. [04:54] well i can;t open a terminal, but sudo in a tty works fine [04:54] i have some for doing ,see you latter [04:55] Anyone heard of stability issues with desktop-amd64 ver of 9.10 ? In particular, screen freezups ? [04:55] Slyvie: Here's the xorg intel page. Has some links to get you setup. http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver [04:55] LzrdKing: why no terminal ? [04:55] Sylvie: you can create a xorg file with sudo Xorg -configure then copy the file it creates cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf the location might be different [04:55] Ballsy: It vary for every user. I don't really experience lot of freezeup on my amd64 (three machines). [04:55] DasEi, dunno, it shows "starting terminal" in the "Taskbar" and then it goes away [04:56] matts, do you know your chipset? or have you enabled the hardware drivers? [04:56] i did DISPLAY=:0 sudo synaptic from tty1 and it opened right up [04:56] LzrdKing: Alt+F2 , gnome-terminal ? [04:56] while start-up ubuntu shows some usb errors 433 and splash, I could not note it down as it comes for very less time. please tell me how to see and resolve them ? [04:56] Ballsy: In that case, you should toggle on CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE to make it easier to restart XServer in case that happened. See !dontzap [04:56] DasEi, nothing happens [04:57] ctmjr, I'll try that [04:57] and my columns in system monitor are all mixed up! [04:57] devD: dmesg > dmes.txt , gedit dmes.txt [04:57] weird [04:57] DasEi, ok [04:58] what can i use to burn a TS_VIDEO folder to a DVD for a compliant disc? [04:58] LzrdKing: get a command window with alt+F2 ? [04:58] mobi-sheep: ctrl-alt-bckspce doesn't help, I'm afraid....the only thing I can do is move my mouse around. Even if I ssh in from another pc and 'killall -u username' and confirm all their procs are dead, the display remains on the pc....weird.... [04:59] DasEi, yes, i did but gnome-terminal didn;t open [04:59] Ballsy: You have to toggle it on first before you can use it. [04:59] how do I add vlc to main menu in karmic? [04:59] LzrdKing: which distro ? [04:59] Snausages: It should be under Videos. Try "killall gnome-panel" and check under Applications --> Videos again. [04:59] DasEi, 9.04 [05:00] register password [05:00] is there any utility available which checks the ubuntu os and auto corrects the problems ? [05:01] mobi-sheep: nope, not there [05:01] LzrdKing: boot to safe mode, get inet by calling netrot, then exit again to safemode, try dpkg repair broken packages ;; did you do any changes ? [05:01] devD: what kind of problems? [05:01] devD: There are a tool that checks if the Ubuntu ISO are intact, but as for the whole OS. The problem varies for every user. Try and ask the real questions to your issues. [05:01] DasEi, i just installed dvdstyler [05:02] mobi-sheep: I happened to install it via apt-get rather than synaptic. Should I do that over again? [05:02] Billiard, mobi-sheep as I can see some errors while startup but they are not visible in dmesg. I want to correct that annoying errors. [05:02] Snausages: It should not matter. There are many ways to install packages. Command line or GUI should get same results. You could try removing and install it again. [05:03] LzrdKing: try in safemode then [05:03] Snausages: "sudo aptitude purge vlc && sudo aptitude install vlc" [05:03] question question i have a question [05:03] shoot [05:03] Zeppelin: Ask aks you have to ask. [05:04] mobi-sheep: ok cool I'll let that grind a bit === nick_ is now known as Guest18778 [05:04] ok well [05:04] DasEi, mobi-sheep Billiard can you find anything in this dmesg output http://pastebin.com/m3be779ed [05:04] you know the [05:05] shutdown button [05:05] i want it to be left of the power button that says 'jacob' [05:05] HOW is it, that AMD does not provide a graphics driver for its OWN AMD64 ARCHITECTURE, but it does for the x86 64 bit architecture?! That's so asinine. [05:05] DasEi, i will try :) thanks! [05:05] Does Dual Booting hurt performance of the windows partition at all [05:05] jmyers: because ther spec is opensource now? [05:06] jmyers: amd64 and x86-64 refer to the same architecture [05:06] yeah, um yeah I read that wrong [05:06] jtaji: really? Because I can't get the x86_64 drivers to work for anything. [05:06] anyone experiencing tearing with compiz with nvidia 64bit? Seems using 32bit ubuntu works fine. [05:06] does anyone know what the volume manager for lxde is? [05:06] jmyers: really [05:06] bai4nao [05:07] devD: no, looks fine, whats your prob ? [05:07] i want to add access to a directory, is chown the best command? [05:07] resno-bbl: chown -R [05:07] resno-bbl:system-dir ? [05:07] DasEi: no, its a user folder [05:08] sorry I got disconnected, does having a dual boot hurt performance [05:08] resno-bbl: chown -R [05:08] sprockets: not at all [05:08] sprockets: no [05:08] ahh cool [05:08] can anyone tell me what the sound level controller is for lxde? [05:08] sprockets_: the only thing that hurts performance in a Linux/Windows dual boot, is windows. :) [05:09] DasEi, while booting it shows some errors like [usb] 433 unable .../devive... something like that . I could not note down and some splash error too. [05:09] Yeah i love nix, used arch for over a year until about a month ago [05:09] when i decided I wanted to play real games again [05:09] but never really looked into dual booting, or how it effects performance [05:10] nvm figured it out [05:10] devD: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [05:10] devD: pastebinit /var/log/syslog [05:11] sprockets: can even multiple boot [05:11] EastDallas>> hey dude [05:12] Fezzler: What's up? [05:12] sprockets: for playing around vm's are nice [05:12] Oh, I dont want to play around [05:12] I bought Win7 for 30 bucks and just didnt want to dual boot if it effects performance even slightly [05:12] EastDallas>> Did you say you do know how to get Jackd to work? [05:13] EastDallas>> Still no success [05:13] Unreal Tournament [05:13] Fezzler: YOu had it working the other day [05:13] how do I open compizconfig-settings-manager [05:13] sprockets_: 30 bucks? You got ripped off. It is not worth the money. :( --> *nix all the way. [05:13] DasEi: so for instance, if i wanted read and write access, i would do "sudo chown -R 775 /home/media/music" [05:14] Erick_23: again in System > Preferences [05:14] Erick_23: It should be under System --> Preferences/Administration [05:14] Can one only create a USB ubuntu install medium from inside ubuntu? [05:14] What is the difference between qemu and qemu-system-x86_64? [05:14] EastDallas>> Some. I want to start Jack, Start Hydrogen, Start Audacity and have Audacity record Hydrogn output [05:14] Yeah, I migrated to arch back when vista came out [05:14] rcscomp: the latter is 64-bit [05:14] can't get that to work? [05:14] thank you, but I dont see no compiz [05:15] resno-bbl: that would be a world permission, right, better sudo chown -R UserName home/media/music [05:15] Sagaci: you mean, for 64 bit guests?

[06:04] when i go into sudo my environment variables arent being properly exported [06:04] for example im using manual ip and i did it via network manager applet. when i vi the /etc/network/interfaces i dont see those settings i made there. can anyone explain me where these changes are persisted [06:04] <^paradox^> yes but it acts the same [06:04] echo ${PERL5LIB} is working [06:04] >I neeed help, I cant see my menus how do I reset back my ubuntu to its defaults at least!! :O [06:04] fatface: can you specify exactly what you mean "go into sudo" - what are the exact things you type at the terminal [06:05] i cant get most features of compiz to work ... like them widgets thingy and also the fire thingy can someone help me with this?? [06:05] <^paradox^> scunizi: i was able to burn this way before [06:05] but when i type perl -le 'print $ENV{PERL5LIB}' it fails [06:05] both of those in sudo [06:05] gray_wolf: well, i would think there's more a proper way to ddo it (througha preferences - in the sound window or something) [06:05] Erick_23: I've had success with right click and then add panel [06:05] jonzbcc: to use sudo (to elevate your privileges temporarily, you just need to type sudo at the beginning of a command [06:06] ^paradox^: I've had funky issues with hp burners in the past.. are you able to test the burner on a different machine and OS? [06:06] vegombrei: what help you want in compiz? [06:06] !sudo | jonzbcc [06:06] [quietone] I used Compiz.. and all menus dissapeared :O [06:06] jonzbcc: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [06:06] <^paradox^> i was able to copy a dvd by inserting the dvd and right clicking and selecting copy disc without using brasero [06:06] vegombrei: dont try too many things with compiz it can simply break [06:06] Sagaci: yes, but if he meant he was doing "sudo -i" that means he was logging in as root.. or sudo -i blahblah, he was logging in as blah blah - meaning he would have different aliases, and a slightly different feel to his shell [06:06] Sagaci: thank you, though :) [06:06] [kuttans] I know I mest up rlly bad!! [06:06] but why are my variables not showing up in subprocesses? [06:06] <^paradox^> i dont have a different machine handy [06:07] in my normal shell an echo and perl print of the variable do the same thing [06:07] fatface: I definitely can't suggest anythig for you - especially being the issue is related in some way to perl (no experience there) [06:07] Erick_23: then you may not return to a clean state. i will recommend you to back up your system and re install [06:07] I need help all my menus dissapeared I need to reset compiz settings is there anyway of doing this? [06:07] is there like a recovery? [06:07] its not perl i use it as an example of getting at an environment variable from a subprocess [06:08] <^paradox^> to do by right clicking on the dvd icon on the desktop took about 15 minutes total [06:08] Erick_23: you mean that you dont have a panel or the title bar of the programs? which one you are not getting [06:08] fatface: can you give some other examples of what's different? [06:08] [kuttans] neither [06:08] The following packages have unment dependencies: [06:08] <^paradox^> i dont wanna spend that kind of time on every dvd i decide to copy [06:08] ^paradox^: Perhaps nautilus-actions and throw in there the commands to copy DVD? [06:08] ulite-deskto: Depends: blah, blah WHAT DO I DO? [06:08] kuttans: thanks for responding ... firstly i had a few issues installing compiz i also think i may have made a mess while reading forums i installed compiz then emerald then i kinda made a mess of things .. now i want those widgets that show cpu speed etc that looks quite cool and also some cool themes but i just cant get the themes to work as i think emerald dont work with karmic and my compiz isnt giving me many options [06:08] ok you press alt+f2 and type metacity --replace to get all them back [06:09] jonzbcc, so, do you know if its possible to foce an app to connect to the internet through an specific network interface? [06:09] how do i make ubuntu automatically install all unmet dependencies [06:09] vegombrei: those are all desklets or screenlets, you can get them by installing those applications [06:09] how do I edit the Grub list? where is the file to edit, I can find a "menu.lst file under /boot/ [06:09] fatface: did you export them? variables have to be explicity exported in bash to show up in subprocesses.... [06:09] Erick_23: have a loot at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-259831.html [06:09] [kuttans] it says: Unable to open X displau [06:09] i need help getting my webcam installed [06:09] Alan502_: sorry, no. I would think that'd be a preference per the usual "set a proxy" pref. windows a lot of apps have. but doing if via the command line is probably a lot easier if you know how. [06:10] i have in my normal shell [06:10] !grub2 | cyberjorge [06:10] cyberjorge: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:10] <^paradox^> and to think i just burned a picture cd with brasero with the internal cd burner yesterday [06:10] cyberjorge: /boot/grub/grub.cfg if you are using grub2 [06:10] <^paradox^> never expected this [06:10] and sudo can even see them so long as im not printing it inside the subprocess [06:10] cyberjorge: or else /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:10] ^paradox^: try k3b and see if it acts the same [06:10] cyberjorge: are you using 9.10? I belive 9.10' uses grub2, which (i *think* uses a different config file) [06:11] jonzbcc, not enough knowledge of the command line here; i'll probably google for it. What keywords do you consider as accurate? [06:11] [quietone] there is no solution there :S [06:11] cyberjorge: or differnet location, at least [06:11] i have an intel sc430 webcam & cant get ubuntu to find a driver for it [06:11] kuttans: thanks the correct file is ... /boot/grub/grub.cfg [06:11] /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the file which lists the OS and other options [06:11] kuttans: should i do the alt+f2 metacity --replace?? [06:11] fatface: if you export from a shell, then invoke sudo, you have to re-export under sudo to get a subprocess to see the env variable, if you see what I mean... [06:11] thanks people! :) [06:11] vegombrei: the command metacity --replace replaces your window manager and it will get you back to the basic settings [06:12] Alan502_: you know the more I think of it, the more I feel like it might be difficult. I'm not sure though. I think just what you're saying "force specific socket" or... idk, jus twhat you've bene asking here [06:12] <^paradox^> scunizi: it is cd burning app and not just a frontend? [06:12] hey anyone know about the networking applet persistance [06:12] where the networkmanager applet store the static ip settings, its not in the /etc/network/interface file [06:12] ^paradox^: yes.. pretty much the defacto standard.. [06:12] so how can i make an environment variable that both me and sudo can both use? [06:12] cheese wont find my camera & neither will ekiga [06:12] jonzbcc, well... i think i'll just google it myself :D thanks pal [06:12] in sub processes [06:12] so does any command reset all settings of compiz? [06:12] Alan502_: I feel like that'd have to be something either allowed you via parameters programmed in... or you have to be able to reprogram the part that initiates a socket. i'm *totally* guessing all this though [06:12] ^paradox^: sudo apt-get install k3b [06:12] Alan502_: no rpoblem [06:13] ga_sk8er: do lsusb and check wheter your cam is there or not [06:13] <^paradox^> ok and btw im still getting used to linux. was a windows man so bare with me [06:13] fatface: put the defs in a file and source them each time a shell starts. .bashrc or some such...

[06:14] !tb [06:14] You can contact the technical board via email on techical-board AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com [06:14] fatface: I don't recall if sudo runs .bashrc. You'll have to read up...

I know the basics of programming in almost every language now, but i wanna focus my efforts on one language and become a guru in it. Which one would be the best to learn for developing programs for Ubuntu [06:14] do cat /dev/video0 [06:14] fatface: if you just type "sudo" at the beginning of your command, nothing should change except the priveleges the process is started via [06:14] yes cyberjorge [06:15] anyone knows how to install Thunderbird 3 in ubuntu? [06:15] I see thanks!! [06:15] <^paradox^> ok back in a minute [06:15] cyberjorge: no.. that file gets overwritten on each boot.. look in the link ubottu provided earlier.. it shows where to edit [06:15] fatface: try #bash [06:15] kuttans cat: /dev/video0: No such file or directory [06:15] ok [06:15] fatface: I haven't been following your convo, but from you last question ... your not actually changing shells when you type sudo at the beginning of a command [06:15] anyone know? [06:15] kuttans is it a sudo command? [06:15] ga_sk8er which ubuntu u are using? [06:16] it's picked up "01:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)' .. hoe do i go about installing it ? 9.10 only installed my etherenet [06:16] no ga_sk8er [06:16] 9.10 i386 version [06:16] kuttans: thats not tru.. /boot/grub/menu.list gets overwritten on each boot.. it's dynamically generated.. [06:16] kuttans 9.10 i386 version [06:16] Which programming language would be best to develop stuff for ubuntu? [06:16] kuttans desktop is in gnome (if that matters) [06:16] no scunizi grub.cfg is not overwritten on every boot, only when you use update-grub [06:16] scunizi: thanks for the warning, yes I notice that, can you give the link again? [06:16] Hilikus: Google "Launchpad, Mozilla Daily PPA" -- From there, you can add the latest stuffs from Mozilla (Thunderbird 3.0, Thunderbird 3.1, Mozilla 3.7, etc). [06:16] j9xinca: actually, there's a really big ubuntu group *just* for that kind of question. I think there's even a sticky where *everyone* and their mother gave their two cents [06:16] j9xinca: probably C or C++. Download the source to some of your favourite apps and see. Maybe start by bugfixing one or two of them... [06:16] in the same shell ill write perl -le 'print $ENV{PERL5LIB}' then do the same thing under sudo and it will not work [06:17] kuttans: the link cyberjorge gave shows editing the older /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:17] and you can edit /etc/default/grub to make it permanant whenever you use update-grub command [06:17] mobi-sheep: i just want stable releases though [06:17] losha: thank you [06:17] !grub2 | cyberjorge [06:17] cyberjorge: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

I was in a hurry [06:17] the environment variable will not be exported to it [06:17] jonzbcc: you know the link? [06:17] fatface: what happens when you type that, after doig it with sudo? [06:17] Hello! [06:17] nothing gets output [06:17] ga_sk8er then the system should automatically find your web cam there shouldnt be any problem [06:17] mm... this is a monstrously disgusting/slow pc, give me a minute while i launch firefox [06:17] umr6utl [06:18] [quietone] no problem am here trying to understand the console of compz [06:18] Does anyone know how to update intel graphics drivers on ubuntu? [06:18] try to googling out please, bcoz i dont remember the exact commands to debug those programs [06:18] sudo echo $PERL5LIB will give me what i expect though [06:18] cheese & ekiga wont show it [06:18] or even how to check what the drivers i have installed are? [06:18] Hilikus: Ubuntu's Policy is to work on security and bug fixes only. Thunderbird-3.0 will be in Lucid Repo. I'm using Thunderbird-3.1 -- You can install the 3.0 version. [06:18] kuttans i asked friends on messenger & they couldnt view my cam either [06:19] fatface: i'm totally at a loss... again the lack of knowing perl [06:19] <^paradox^> scunizi: looks like k3b is doing the job. will let u know afterwards [06:19] mobi-sheep: i see. i'll try that. thanks [06:19] ga_sk8er i can understand that bcoz your cam is not recognised...is your cam come with special driver for linux, then you need to find it out [06:19] i need help [06:19] I restarted and now ubuntu messed itself up [06:19] like [06:19] scunizi: by the way I just want to make sure that my ubuntu karmic load the Xen kernel to support its host properly (xenserver), how can I check the kernel loaded when booting [06:19] ?? [06:19] my firefix is 3.5.6 pre <<<< should I download the 3.5.6 from firefox site and install? [06:19] the trash icon is in the middle of the taskbar almost [06:19] or do you have v4l installed in your machine.if not try synaptic to install v4l2 then you will get the images [06:19] and the running icons for xchat, sound, and network [06:19] !enter | Zeppelin [06:19] Zeppelin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:19] are on the right, instead of the left.. what do i do? [06:20] kuttans i dont think it has a linux driver. i went to intel site & they just want u to use the .exe to install in windows [06:20] Does anyone know how to update intel graphics drivers on ubuntu? [06:20] cyberjorge: sorry I don't know the answer to that one. [06:20] I need help with sound. Want to use 9.04 sound preferences not the 9.10 one. How do I? or Where can I get help? [06:20] ^paradox^: gotta run.. good luck [06:20] Zeppelin: Fix it. Drag the applets around back to where it should be. [06:20] Zeppelin, you can move any of those applets around - rightclick and select Move, or just click with the wheel and drag [06:20] zepplin : right click on the icond ,and click that unlock option and select move to move it anywhere you want [06:20] I'd like to upgrade my drivers to make sure they're the accelerated drivers [06:21] <^paradox^> one more thing before ya go [06:21] how do i get the temperature of the cpu from the command line? [06:21] Madpilot, what about the notification area [06:21] anyone have any views on UNR? i was thinking about putting it on my netbook [06:21] j9xinca: still their? i found it... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333867 [06:21] ga_sk8er: go to synaptic and search for v4l2 and install those packages there, then you replugin your cam or else restart [06:21] fatface: the vsriable in sudo echo $PERL5LIB is evaluated in the current shell. not the subshell. Do some homework: man sudo and man sudoers. There's plenty of messing about with the environment going on... [06:21] Zeppelin, might be easiest to remove it then add it back to the panel in the spot you want [06:22] j9xinca: actually, i loved it when I tried it (almost a year ago now)... but just recently I saw some screenshots of Moblin that made me wish I had a netbook again [06:22] kuttans installing now [06:22] hey, after switching from GNOME to KDE, my audio doesn't work anymore... [06:22] how should i got about fixing it [06:22] <^paradox^> what happens to that iso image when the burn is done? do i gotta delete that or will magically disappear? [06:22] fatface: please be sure that you export env variables in the current shell. like you wont get the env of your shell after you do a sudo -i [06:22] Zeppelin, right-click on the panel, choose Add To Panel, and all the stuff is there - notification area, trash, everything is just an applet [06:22] ok ga_sk8er [06:22] Unlike Grub Legacy's menu.lst file, grub.cfg is NOT MEANT TO BE EDITED!!! ---- So how can I make my karmic boot to my desired kenel? Also how do I check which kernel I am booted on to? [06:23] cyberjorge: uname -a [06:23] cyberjorge: it's generated from other files, but that doesn't mean you can't edit it [06:23] hey cybejorge its told that you dont edit grub.cfg bcoz its dynamicaly generated from a conf file /etc/default/grub file [06:23] What is a "flat volume" in the sentence "Flat volumes are disabled by default on Ubuntu 9.10 " (see http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/UbuntuBugs) [06:23] cyberjorge: I believe you're supposed to use a command grub-config??? or something... [06:23] cyberjorge: type "uname -r" [06:23] so how do i make a variable that goes into sudo -i? [06:23] cybejorge: so if you want to make any changes you have to change the file /etc/default/grub and run update-grub command from the command line as a sudo then you are done [06:23] fatface: just a sec.. [06:23] fatface: man sudoers env_reset [06:24] <^paradox^> the one going to the tmp folder i mean [06:24] you have to export it again after doing sudo -i fatface [06:24] hi [06:24] why does my volume become erratic when i close then open my laptop? [06:24] folks [06:24] kuttans still got nothing in cheese. think i need to restart? [06:24] fatface: if you'd really like to have a better idea what's going on, this page is awesome: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:24] yeah try a restart or remove and replug your cam [06:25] Sagaci, ooze1 that worked now I know I really need to edit my grub.lst [06:25] kuttans or should i do sudo apt-get update [06:25] no need [06:25] kuttans already unpluged & plugged back in [06:25] I need HELP PLEASE :O RESET COMPIZ settings =( .... I already googled a lot.. went thru all help in console by typing gconftool -? [06:25] try a restart then pls ga_sk8er [06:25] kuttans brb. gonna try the restart [06:25] bullgard: I'd never heard of it either: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/oh-nine-fifteen.html [06:25] Erick_23: ccsm>Preferences <-- Reset to Defaults [06:25] Does anyone know how to update intel graphics drivers on ubuntu? [06:26] [soreau] I need that in the console!! [06:26] hey guys, is there a setting someplace in gnome to make the 'places' menu items pop open on mouseover? so you can navigate the whole filesystem in a "startmenuish" fashion? [06:26] Erick_23: Why? [06:26] [soreau] cause I dont see the menu!! :S [06:26] hello Erick_23 what you want to do you want your old window manager back or only compiz, deselect all the options in compiz and do a reload [06:26] If I want to set up a cron job in Ubuntu (Say run /www/file.php once every hour then stop after 20 hours) would it go something like this? crontab -e and then 0 * * * * /www/file.php [06:26] or maybe someone knows a panel applet that does that? [06:26] graelb: if you are using karmic then its using the latest dont worry [06:26] [kuttans] I cant open anything the only thing I see is desktop icons.. [06:27] Erick_23: Which menu? like your panel? [06:27] jonzbcc: can't find command like that, though I was able to nano the grub.lst if it safe to edit [06:27] Erick_23: Does Alt+F2 work? [06:27] losha: Ah, excellent. Thank you very much for your help. [06:27] yes!! [06:27] kuttans, hrm. I'm trying to play kotor 2 on wine, but i'm getting all white textures, figured i'd try upgrading my drivers first [06:27] I am at alt+f2 right now in the console [06:27] Erick_23: If you can open Alt+F2, you can start programs from there [06:27] Erick_23: click alt+f2 [06:27] [soreau] how do I reset compiz settings thru there? [06:27] cyberjorge: i'm sure it won't hurt to edit it yourself. as long as you read a bit of the man page (for instance, i see someone said grub-update, or something like that?) [06:27] Erick_23 : and type metacity --replace [06:28] Erick_23: Run ccsm, then go to Preferences and click Reset to Defaults [06:28] jonzbcc: hmmm.. thanks ok will do a bit of research [06:28] kuttans still nothing in cheese [06:28] [kuttans] I did and it says..: Window manager error: unable to open X display [06:28] graelb: playing vgames on wine is bit of complex bcoz the graphics wont be that pretty [06:28] kuttans maybe my camera just isnt compatible for ubuntu [06:28] [soreau] how do I run ccsm [06:29] Erick_23: You are running that from tty 2, you need to get back to X and use Alt+F2 [06:29] ga_sk8er: can you try to open cheese via command line and tell me what it says?

[06:32] kuttans try in forum? what do u mean. im still a newbie to linux [06:32] <^paradox^> i really appreciate all your help. i know you guys dont have to be here doing this free [06:33] [soreau] [06:33] ohh ga_sk8er: register yourself in the ubuntu forum and search under usb devices you may get solutions there [06:33] oh ok [06:33] why is telnet insecure, and what danger is there for not being secure through the old telnet protocol? [06:33] Erick_23: We only get highlighted if you use our nicks without the [brackets] [06:33] ok guys, bye now gotta leave [06:33] kuttans what u mena by ur networking app? which one is it? [06:33] [soreau] is cause I use IRcap let me remov that option [06:33] hylian: telnet is okay (for local access). It is not encrypted and everything can be seen easily (in plain text). [06:34] hylian: anyone with a sniffer can see any username/password you type with telnet, but not with ssh [06:34] how to check virus flow on network??? [06:34] beerkid: the page I just sent explains that a slash is "steps". meaning */2 is every two days. so */1 would be the same as *. also, you seem to have been just find with starting the line with 00 -- finally, as far as a 20 hour limit... I think you should just have an if statement make that script useless after 20 hours. or... have a reminder email you if its been 20 hours. [06:34] i understand. thank you! [06:34] beerkid: other than that, the 20 hour clause you've got doesn't seem like something to have cron handle. ( i could be wrong though) [06:35] I POOP ON UBUNTU [06:35] UNR* [06:35] ups [06:35] soreau [06:37] uhmm so how do I get compiz configuration back to the defaults on Ctrl+Alt+F2? [06:38] avash [06:39] I am having some trouble with my fstab anyone? anyone have any good fstab resources? [06:39] =( I cant get my compiz back to its defaults [06:39] at least someone tell me how to restore ubuntu.. to its defaults [06:39] Erick_23: Compiz? "compiz --replace" [06:40] Hi all, I installed alsa 1.0.21 on my Jaunty system to get support for my creative xfi card and am having a few problems. For one, when I launch stella, an sdl-based emulator, I get a loud constant buzz. Any ideas for fixing this? [06:40] Erick_23: From tty (Ctrl+Alt+F2) run 'DISPLAY=:0 ccsm' then go back to X and you should have ccsm open [06:40] Erick_23: If that does not work, try DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace === Fizix is now known as fizler [06:42] Thanks jonzbcc - I think the way to do it is using something like 0 1-20 * * * which should make it run from hours 1 to 20 === fizler is now known as Fizix [06:42] hi huys [06:42] guys [06:43] I'm successful in establishing the wi-fi in ubuntu [06:43] the problem now is, I can't install xchat or go this page in firefox in ubuntu (this is in pc) [06:43] how do I choose a kernel other than default when booting karmic ? [06:44] anydoby knows programming in java ?? [06:44] I would also like to add that this emulator was working with the stock alsa version in Jaunty. I have disabled pulse before and after the upgrade. [06:44] anybody** [06:44] cyberjorge: ʇooq qnɹƃ ʇɐ ʇɟıɥs pןoɥ [06:44] cyberjorge: hold shift at grub boot [06:44] cyberjorge, you can download Startup-Manager, a GUI for the GRUB that works well. [06:44] mobi-sheep: cool fonts ,what are those [06:44] uhmm neither of thos commands worked to restore my Compiz configuration.. when I try Compiz --Replace.. it says.. checking for.. name... : Not present.. [06:45] hold shift at grub boot hmm [06:45] mobi-sheep: cool! how did you do thaatQ! [06:45] it has sumthing to do with java i guess [06:45] indus: Latin Extended and International Phonetic Alphabet [06:45] Erick_23: I didn't tell you to run compiz [06:45] alphawave: #java for Java, I think. [06:45] soreau I typed in each command u wrote :S [06:45] Erick_23: I told you to run DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace [06:45] cyberjorge: Magicbuntu! :o [06:46] Erick_23: Someone else told you to run compiz === Kamokow_ is now known as Kamokow [06:46] I tried installing java, succesful i guess, but it says it needs icedlemon, for ubuntu or sumthing [06:46] any help? [06:46] mobi-sheep: lol! that was really cool, but holding shift on boot didn't work [06:46] ok i got environment variables to work in sudo, however theres something sudo has against PERL5LIB (and me) and still will not pass that variable along to it [06:46] MAEL: Copy and paste the real message, please.

You should hold SHIFT until you see "GRUB" and should get GRUB kernel list. [06:47] Erick_23: Ok, try this: sudo chmod -x $(which compiz) [06:48] Erick_23: After that, restart X [06:48] Erick_23: Or reboot [06:48] mobi-sheep: yes, but using minimal CD and doing minimal install [06:48] for the love of all that is good and holy, can someone please help me figure out how to get wireless networking to work using wep 128 bit encryption? [06:49] its too long to do, because the problem is in my laptop, and chatting in pc now [06:49] but hold on [06:49] i've been banging my head against this all day [06:49] cyberjorge: There are #grub -- but I don't know if that's a problem. If it does not work, then perhaps you commented something when you edit the forbidden grub.cfg? [06:49] funkiwan: on karmic? [06:49] soreau I typed. sudo chmod -x $compiz [06:49] zoug: yes, off the boot cd [06:49] zoug: i can get it to work if i turn off encryption at the router [06:49] soreau it says chmod: missing operand [06:50] zoug: but when i turn on encryption, i can't connect [06:50] Does transmission support magnet links, if so, how can i get them working on karmic? [06:50] funkiwan: install wicd from synaptic [06:50] Erick_23: You're not listening [06:50] Kamokow: New 1.80 does. It's not part of Ubuntu repo (until Lucid) or you're welcome to compile it yourself. [06:50] Erick_23: sudo chmod -x $(which compiz) [06:51] mobi-sheep: Ok, thanks :) [06:51] zoug: trying now... [06:51] mobi-sheep: no i didn't I got afraid of "grub.cfg is NOT MEANT TO BE EDITED!!!" all in red though it worked now. :D [06:51] cyberjorge: Cool. You learned how to do it the way it is meant to be. :) [06:52] losha: alright I think all is well as II seem to be mounting things manually and I was having some issue (I think) not 100% sure atm lol but the fstab has some custom changes in it going to do more research [06:52] funkiwan: make sure you remove network-manager too [06:52] mobi-sheep: yeah! thanks! [06:52] now to figure how to make my karmic boot in XEN paravirtualized [06:52] *now time to figure out [06:52] What might cause my screen to freeze and then fuzz up and reset my visual effects? It happens all the time. [06:52] soreau that did work :O [06:52] wow.. [06:53] zoug: i'm not seeing wicd as an option. i'm trying to do this all while booted off the cd (e.g., not a full install). i want to verify ubuntu is going to work on this laptop. [06:53] soreau what does sudo chmod -x $(which compiz) do? [06:53] is there any RHN (in redhat) kind of thing for Ubuntu support? [06:53] Erick_23: It made compiz non-executable so it couldn't be ran at all [06:53] :O [06:53] hello [06:53] ok i was able to get my changed version of the PERL5LIB in by setting the env_delete var to some nonsense (it complained about it being empty). Thats a relief [06:54] Erick_23: Now go to ccsm>Preferences and click Reset to Defaults [06:54] how to change my nick? [06:54] funkiwan: What make/model? [06:54] Guest24355: //nick IndusCookie [06:54] Erick_23: And to restore compiz to it's executable state, use sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz [06:54] Guest24355: One slash, not two. [06:54] /nick TECNOPATA [06:54] yay? [06:55] /nick lol [06:55] i cant [06:55] mobi-sheep: wireless card? router? laptop? [06:55] Guest24355: One slash. === Guest24355 is now known as TECNOPATA [06:55] yay ty [06:55] funkiwan: The crotch warmer. [06:55] TECNOPATA: You're welcome. [06:55] anyone know why $(ls -la) as well as `ls -la` works in bash scripts? Also, do you need the [brackets] in your if/then/else statements? I can use them both ways -- but with brackets I'm getting some different behaviour [06:55] Lot's of other fun commands begin with /, too. [06:55] mobi-sheep: velocity micro, dl71 [06:56] jonzbcc: #bash would be the perfect place for it. [06:56] how to crack a wpa key wifi conection? [06:56] ah! i had no clue there was one. thanks :) [06:56] Search at lifehacker.com. [06:56] TECNOPATA: try backtrack linux :-P [06:56] soreau I open ccsm and look for reset? [06:56] Xon: jsadhl [06:57] i have backtrack 4 but maybe i need a dictionary? [06:57] can i have the info of this irc chat to copy in a .txt pls? [06:57] TECNOPATA: It is a laptop? Velocity Micro DL71. [06:57] funkiwan: reload synaptic [06:57] !log | TECNOPATA [06:57] TECNOPATA: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [06:58] funkiwan: u need to update the repo [06:58] Erick_23: Sys>prefs>compizconfig-settings-manager>Preferences>Reset to Defaults [06:58] funkiwan: surely it will work [06:58] !log [06:58] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [06:58] support [06:58] soreau am sorry man :$.. thank you am already there [06:58] freedom... free software [06:59] zoug: mobi-sheep: looks like universe isn't enabled by default. updating... [06:59] why is networking so complicated in ubuntu 9.10? [06:59] Erick_23: And of course you want to do 'sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz' then restart X [06:59] funkiwan: man what are you telling? [06:59] why is the script /etc/init.d/network is changed to networking? [07:00] <^paradox^> ok now i need some help with transmission bittorrent client. in preferrences it says port 6881 is closed. when i was on a network with my gf i used ports 6881 thru 6889, but im no longer with her or on a network [07:00] I see network-manager not working.. [07:00] 9.10's networkmanager sucks [07:00] Flannel: machikney randi ko chhoraoa lado kah [07:00] specially when you have atheros [07:00] funkiwan: Is it a newly released netbook or something? There are not much of information on it. [07:00] ty, another question, where can i found a book of backtrack, like a bible, to learn to use all the awesome tools [07:01] the gui shows it as disabled but when i right click it, it shows a tick in enable networking [07:01] 9.10 network manager seems to work far better than the early, flaky one from lenny [07:01] Out of 1300 people. Do any of you know why my screen would just bug out and freeze for a while, then look like an old fuzzy tv channel? It works for 15 minutes (give or take) then it freaks out and resets my visual effects on its own. [07:01] my usb modem connected as /dev/sr1/ how to connect as /dev/ttyUSB0? [07:01] ty, another question, where can i found a book of backtrack, like a bible, to learn to use all the awesome tools [07:01] zoug: these ubuntu folks don't know how to copy fedora's network manager [07:01] this site is flood [07:01] lenny one didn't even let you set up wired networks [07:01] <^paradox^> also i have cable internet [07:01] !alrt slap Flannel [07:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:01] mobi-sheep: no, it's oldish. 2005 i think. it's been running xp and i want to dual boot. [07:01] if I have an on-going python script (like a tornado or twisted script) that i'd like to run on startup, how can i do that? [07:01] XO_Sun: exactly [07:02] TECNOPATA: The right place to ask that is in #remote-exploit [07:02] <^paradox^> i need a hand with this cause i use torrents for more than entertainment [07:02] #remote-exploit [07:02] Erick_23: What was the answer? I have been trying to follow and it is difficult for me [07:03] funkiwan: I see. There are no confirmation about the make/model. You're encouraged to test it on LIVECD first. All wireless cards often need to be reconfigured. Things get wired backward and whatnot. [07:03] join #remote-exploit [07:03] TECNOPATA: Try /join [07:03] quietone solution was sudo chmod -x $(which compiz) [07:03] ^paradox^: what do you mean by "gf" [07:03] funkiwan: all you need to figure out is the way to install wicd, given that you have no driver issues with your wireless or wired hardware.. [07:03] <^paradox^> im not behind a firewall [07:04] haha im banned,..? [07:04] <^paradox^> quietone: girlfriend [07:04] zoug: okay, wicd is installed, now what? [07:04] Erick_23: and i guess you restarted compiz? how? [07:04] !u | ^paradox^ [07:04] ^paradox^: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [07:04] funkiwan: reboot [07:04] ^paradox^: Set up a port forwarding on your router. [07:04] ack! [07:04] Anyone here able to install Xen Kernel for a guest karmic in Xen / Xenserver? I need to paravirtualize ubuntu in Xen / Xenserver... [07:04] quietone soreau said that It made compiz non-executable so it couldn't be ran at all [07:04] TECNOPATA, some channels won't let you in if you're not identified to nickserv [07:05] <^paradox^> sorry ill try to quit with the chat lingo [07:05] zoug: i'm using the boot cd. everything's in ram. how can i do this without rebooting? [07:05] quietone and to make it executable again to type sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz [07:05] !xen | cyberjorge [07:05] <^paradox^> kinja-sheep: there is no router [07:05] cyberjorge: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [07:05] and, how to have identity in a nickserv? [07:05] funkiwan: oh man, sorry forgot that [07:05] ^paradox^: How are you connected? [07:05] <^paradox^> im not with her anymore and im not on a network anymore [07:06] funkiwan: try killing the network manager and start wicd [07:06] Erick_23: I don't know enough to know what process executes it. I was just wondering if you had to. It seems not, so my question is answered. Thank you very much. [07:06] zoug: ah, i needed wicd-client -n [07:06] zoug: accessing... [07:06] TECNOPATA, /msg NickServ help [07:06] <^paradox^> mine is the only computer and im connected to the internet with charter communications cable internet service [07:06] quietone: Basically, chmod + or - x will set the executable flag for it. If it's not executable, it wont be able to run [07:06] can ubuntu desktop be used as server/router? [07:06] agusj: ofcourse [07:07] thanks ubottu and kinja-sheep, but I'm not making ubuntu as the host, just as a guest of Xenserver 5.5 [07:07] what additional software must I add? [07:07] ^paradox^: You can change the port number and retry. Some ISP will try to prevent or reduce bandwidth. [07:07] kinja-sheep: u and mobi-sheep the same? [07:07] soreau: yes, I know that. I just had it in my head that Erick_23 would have to restart compiz. [07:08] agusj: you can add what you want [07:08] agusj, depends on what kind of server you want to run. Apache and the basic webserver stack are all in repos, for starters. [07:08] agusj: depends [07:08] indus: Computer. [07:08] indus: Laptop, [07:08] <^paradox^> kinja-sheep: ok but what if none of the ports 6881 thru 6889 work? [07:08] I just want to use it as router and manage proxy [07:08] ^paradox^: Try 8020? 14233? Make one up as long as it's over 6881, I believe. === argonaut is now known as argonaut|sleep [07:09] ^paradox^, I know in deluge-torrent, there's an option for random port assignments - does transmission do something similar? [07:09] what do i use to check for updates in KDE? [07:10] hello. there is "master" process that runs as root in ubuntu 9.04 . what is this? [07:10] Madpilot, yes it does [07:10] <^paradox^> Madpilot: im not sure. im not really good with the technical stuff [07:10] does ubuntu support pc station/ thin client? [07:10] is it standart process? i fear it is spyware/rootkit [07:10] anybody switches session to awesome from GNOME? i did it but sound stopped work. [07:10] flexible, #kubuntu is probably a better spot for KDE apps [07:10] qdb: init? [07:10] s/apps/questions [07:11] i do not understand, pwd [07:11] how can i keep a script running after i've logged out? [07:11] (python script, if it makes a difference) [07:11] it is "master" in system monitor [07:11] Kinder_Surprise, are you a bot? We remove uninvited bots from #ubuntu, you know... [07:11] <^paradox^> im up to 6903 and still saying closed [07:12] pwd , what is init? [07:12] zoug: still can't connect. it connects fine if i disable wep. but when i enable it, using wep mode of "128-bit manually", with 113 hex digit pairs, it doesn't work [07:12] init is what starts up your kernel [07:12] <^paradox^> if charters blocking ports what other options are there? a proxy port or something? [07:12] zoug: 13, not 113 [07:12] losha: nah I think it was down to user stupidity lol on my part (I was trying to do fsck /dev/sdc and not fsck /dev/sdc1 lol not sure why I got sdc and not sdc1 from same with the other command using sdc and not sdc1 [07:13] qdb: I have not process called master. [07:13] ^paradox^, finding out where transmission hides it's "use random port" option would be your best bet [07:13] ^paradox^, have you checked the account page for you isp? (some provide a default port closed polciy that require you to open all ports at their node-point) [07:13] hi i did chattr -i on a directory but it still giving permission denied error when i do chmod on it [07:13] qdb: ini is the root process. are you saying you have a process called master? [07:14] Madpilot: It does say bot so I suppose it does count. [07:14] zoug: is there a certain way i should be entering in the key? caps or no caps? spaces? [07:14] yes [07:14] thank you, EastDallas [07:14] qdb: open a console and type which master [07:14] ^paradox^, 1 also assume that you have already setup port-forwarding on your router/modem [07:14] pwd, it said nothing [07:14] <^paradox^> airtonix: i can try finding that page, but im not sure where to look [07:15] qdb: type this: netstat -dap | grep master [07:15] qdb: http://linux.die.net/man/8/master [07:15] a channel for backtrack support? [07:15] mobi-sheep, yes, ran whois just after I asked in-channel :) [07:15] TECNOPATA: #remote-exploit [07:15] ^paradox^, it's just a suggestion (since my isp does this as a default protection against noob windows users opening global port access to their samba ports) [07:16] Hello, I had Jaunty running fine on my Compaq Presario laptop, but after upgrading to Karmic wireless sometimes dies (the light continually blinks blue/amber/blue/amber) and when I try to shut it down, I have to physically shut it off, because during the shutdown/reboot process it repeats this error over and over: b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000400, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000 [07:16] <^paradox^> and there is no router. i had port forwarding set up when i was still on a network [07:16] /join #remote-exploit [07:16] funkiwan: key is always unique. enter as the original [07:16] qdb: are you running a mail server? [07:16] ^paradox^, so you just plug your computer into the wall and this cable goes straight to an exhange router somewhere in the suburb ? [07:16] <^paradox^> but i cant find anything for ports now that mines the only computer. perhaps i dont know where to look [07:16] EastDallas, no [07:17] pwd, i cannot run netstat need sudo and now i see again password changed [07:17] <_Agent86_> Hi [07:17] qdb: your password doesnt work?

[07:17] but i hope yet i just forgotten it [07:17] <^paradox^> airtonix: im not sure how to answer. theres just my pc and a motorola cable modem [07:17] ^paradox^: You don't see Random Port in Transmission Preferences/Settings? [07:17] <_Agent86_> quick question on getting kernel source - I need to get the source for linux-2.6.28-11-generic. Where would I get it? [07:18] TECNOPATA: Please stop that, if you're banned from there, there's nothing we can do. [07:18] EastDallas, yes , i run postfix [07:18] lastlog TECNOPATA [07:18] ^paradox^, then your only other option is to investigate the possibility that your isp is providing a default port closed policy at their node-point. === dfitzpatrick is now known as Draconis [07:18] qdb: there's your answer [07:18] ok, thank you [07:18] mobi-sheep, joining -ops just to trigger the alarm is not actually helpful - ops were aware of the bot, and joining -ops just to sound the alarm then bail doesn't actually tell us *which* channel you're alerting us too... [07:18] I just want to say thank you to whomever helped me get my ubuntu to boot agai! [07:19] ^paradox^, or you can try using transmission with 'randomised ports' enabled [07:19] TECNOPATA: You need to do the /join without any spaces infront of it, by the way. [07:19] <^paradox^> theres no random port. there is automatically map port [07:19] my password is changed again [07:19] Madpilot: I read you. Over. ;( [07:19] ^paradox^, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34620/screenshot_transmission_preferences_NO2s74.png [07:19] on time changed yesterday [07:19] what to do?

[07:20] <^paradox^> see my transmission doesnt look like that [07:20] where is vuze installed on 9.10 (using the repos)? [07:20] qdb: if you dont have root access then the machine is no longer safe. just be sure you didnt forget the password before reinstalling [07:20] zoug: i've entered the key so many times, never works [07:20] ^paradox^: Take a screenshot.

[07:22] qdb: if what youre saying is true; your root password does _not_ work (and you havent toyed around with associated settings), then yes, i would reinstall [07:22] sjd, alt+f2 , then type : gconf-editor [07:22] EastDallas, for movement only, I cannot click anything [07:23] airtonix: okay. done [07:23] sjd, look at tree path : apps > nautilus > desktop [07:23] airtonix: now?

[07:32] use rtorrent ftw [07:32] <^paradox^> i thought itd update itself like everything else [07:32] mobi-sheep: i've just been tentative b/c i don't want to go through the hassle of an install and then find out i can't do encrypted wireless [07:32] i want to create a custom bash script and have it run by just typing the file name. where do i place the script? [07:32] Can someone tell me hiw to set the default sou d server on ubuntu? [07:33] or deluge is good if you must have gui [07:33] ^paradox^, not if you are just working off the default ubuntu hardy repositories [07:33] cdocbo is your fdi empty? [07:33] i think its /bin.bash right? [07:33] EastDallas, nope, it has several lines with WACOM tablets in it [07:33] bin/bash [07:33] <^paradox^> great so youre saying it may not be working cause its old [07:33] EastDallas, and others. [07:34] hm, starts gnome-volume-control-applet and set volume to max :) [07:34] ^paradox^: You're using Hardy Heron LTS (Long-Term Support) which is excellent for large businesses/institutions who does not wish to deploy every 6 months. It is not old, but it is very stable. [07:34] and sounds on [07:34] Can some tell me how to change the os's default sound server [07:34] ^paradox^, no it's working (but you're particular scenario requires options your version doesn't provide) [07:34] ^paradox^, you could try using deluge [07:35] Stunts: you can start and stop sound server's by using "sudo /etc/init.d/ stop" [07:35] ^paradox^: You can install Transmission PPA which will enable you to obtain Transmission 1.76 (instead of whatever version you're on now). [07:35] Stunts: See my personal message? [07:35] My problem is kinda odd [07:35] I have a USB sound device that's recognized by ubuntu (Line6 POD XT) that I can record from using arecord. I'd like to pipe this to the sound output, but using /dev/dsp as the output file from arecord doesn't work. Any ideas? [07:36] Btw im on ipod so uh yea not so great at typing fast [07:36] <^paradox^> mobi-sheep: ok so is there an easy update transmission? and if i instead use deluge what should i do with transmission? === kb is now known as Guest31518 [07:36] Stunts: See my personal message?

[07:37] I was asking this because my laptop has karmic on one partition and itdoesnt. Have any sound at all, unless i try tplay like an mp3 in vlc and set vlc to alsa [07:37] cdocbo, just back up the original file: IN a terminal type [07:37] sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.back [07:38] <^paradox^> let me read airtonix link first and ill decide what to do. just give me a couple of more minutes please thanks [07:38] ^paradox^, if you follow instructions there for hardy you be able to get latest version [07:38] cdocbo do you have a section that looks even close to what's in that code box? [07:38] <^paradox^> alrighty ill look at it :-) [07:39] <^paradox^> back in a minute or two [07:39] How do you show the license (GPLv2, GPLv3, etc) of each package on an ubuntu system? [07:39] okay, correction, i can get sound to come out by piping to /dev/dsp, but it's garbage. [07:39] if i pipe to a file then play it, it works, so it seems like a codec/format issue? === Randolf is now known as SpacePigeon === SpacePigeon is now known as woli === woli is now known as wolter === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [07:41] hi can someoen tell me how to change the icon for my gnaome-main-menu applet?

[07:43] four: find the icon in /usr/share/icons or wherever it is and delete and put in your own .png file under it's name? [07:43] ^paradox^, you need to read through the first post. [07:44] ^paradox^: Close Transmissions. Open a terminal and run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade" -- That is it. [07:44] ^paradox^, first thing to do is : gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/transmission.ppa.list [07:44] mobi-sheep, doesn't work on hardy [07:45] Oh that's right.

[07:46] ^paradox^, follow me. [07:46] EastDallas, thanks, I tried that post you gave me, crashed my system. And then x would segfault on reboot. So it didn't work for me. Why is this now broken in a newer version of ubuntu? [07:47] ^paradox^, let me know when you have gedit with that file open. [07:47] four: i told you one way to do it, google could tell you other ways === ara_ is now known as ara [07:48] cdocbo: I guess you backed it up first. I posted for u to do that, but you were already gone. I have no idea why it doesn't work. Have you tried re-installing drivers? [07:48] arghh2d2, i must have missed you telling me, could you repeat please? [07:48] <^paradox^> so enter the command gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/transmission.ppa.list? [07:48] EastDallas, there are no drivers for it, it's a usbhid device [07:48] ^paradox^, yes [07:48] ^paradox^: It is not complicated. What airtonix and I suggest is that you include the new PPA repo for transmission to be upgraded. [07:48] four: find the icon in /usr/share/icons or wherever it is and delete and put in your own .png file under it's name? [07:49] Ubuntu doesn't record per-package license data, does it :( [07:49] mobi-sheep, it's complicated until you understand the process and the effect it has. [07:49] <^paradox^> sorry lol learning here opening terminal and fixing to enter it [07:49] four: I've changed icons using system->pref->main menu [07:49] EO_, what do you mean? [07:49] this may be related to the other people who are having problems with mouse clicks not working (flash, eclipse, etc.) [07:49] is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm? [07:49] four: i dont know the name or location of the icon.png so you might wanna google it [07:50] cdocbo: I actually have this same tablet (aiptek brand) but hardly ever use it. Haven't even tried since Karmic. [07:50] my logitech laser g9 didn't work in flash (youtube) either. [07:50] wolter: well with "rpm -qi cpio" I can see stuff like "License: GPLv3" [07:50] cdocbo: There is a driver you can make for it. [07:50] wolter: I can't find an equivalent method in ubuntu. [07:50] EastDallas, well it worked without any hacking on 9.04. I was thrilled... [07:50] EO_, oh sorry I don't know about that [07:51] EO_, the equivilant program you'll use to do that will be dpkg [07:51] <^paradox^> ok that brought up a blank document [07:51] how do I find my CDROM path and mount it for use? [07:51] ^paradox^, now paste the contents of this pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com/343345/) into that file and save it then exit gedit.

[07:52] grep returns 4 cols of data, i want the data in the 3 col [07:52] chriss_: can you be more specific? [07:52] Robbie_Crash: With so much jabber in the background and all. [07:52] airtonix: yeah there's no license data [07:53] ^paradox^, after that : execute the two lines in this pastebin to add the repositories gpg key to your apt client : http://paste.ubuntu.com/343354/ [07:53] *cough*awak*cough* [07:53] awk* [07:53] edbian, I get it, but there've been numerous times where people have said something akin to "That's exactly why I was here1!" [07:53] This is my search result "0 R 1000 8519 1 84 80 0 - 22466 - ? 00:20:14" but the only data i want is the 4th set of numbers [07:53] chris_: grep | awk '{print $1 $2 $3}' or you could grep | cut -d ' ' -f 1-3 [07:54] cdocbo: aha! [07:54] cdocbo is way quicker on the awk syntax than I can even hope to be [07:54] chris_: ah, so use awk $4 or cut -d ' ' -f 3 [07:54] edbian: please show me my cdrom :) [07:54] <^paradox^> are the numbers before each line supposed to be pasted as well?

[07:56] <^paradox^> ok ive pasted from the first pastebin and saved it and quit [07:56] ^paradox^, once you have the key run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission [07:56] EastDallas, shame too, because "it just worked" in 9.04. I didn't edit or configure anything. === goose[PC] is now known as goose [07:56] edbian: tried dmesg but i get confused with the proper path [07:56] cyberjorge: no worries, first you need to cd to /dev and type ls to get a list of the files in there. If you have only 1 cd-drive it should show up as a file named "cdrom" or something similar [07:56] airtonix: seriously, there's no license there either :) [07:57] ^paradox^, goto the second pastebin and run the two commands first [07:57] edbian: ok [07:57] <^paradox^> ok gotta scroll back up [07:57] cyberjorge: Think you found it? [07:57] airtonix: if you read the man page "License" is not one of the known columns (or anything else license-sounding) [07:57] edbian: yes! cdrom [07:58] <^paradox^> do those need to be executed one at a time? [07:58] EO_, it does have a parameter but its to show the liscene of dpkg only [07:58] Sorry closed out . Really is totem that much newer then mplayer . So it would play Theora video [07:58] ^paradox^, yes [07:58] <^paradox^> ok [07:58] EastDallas, don't have xserver-xorg-input-aiptek installed, maybe that is it. Odd that it works for pointer movement [07:58] Can someone recommend a good BASH scripting tutorial? [07:58] cyberjorge: Ok cool. Now you need to make a file somewhere that is appropriate to mount he cd drive into. The customary place is inside /media. I suggest you "sudo mkdir /media/cd" or something similar. [07:58] airtonix: yeah, which is not able to show license of the packages themselves. I just str8 up don't think ubuntu stores this info anywhere. [07:58] EO_, the other option you have is using dpkg to find the install location of the package contents so it will most likely show the liscence file in that list [07:59] cdocbo:worth a try [07:59] <^paradox^> k it took over as soon as i pasted them [07:59] I'm familiar with programming, but haven't ever bothered learning shell scripting. I'm ish with Perl, decent with Python, and can read VBScript. Just need something that shows bash syntax and such.

[08:00] Robbie_Crash: google, theres tons of guides/tutorials [08:00] <^paradox^> ok thats done [08:00] airtonix: yeah, I guess that might work in some cases. certainly not the robust audit I was hoping to do. :( [08:00] ^paradox^, run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission [08:00] CShadowRun: Hi , should a user be programmer to know what a close software do after running as you said it is extremely hard ? [08:00] <^paradox^> ok [08:00] EO_, yes seems to be an oversight. [08:01] cyberjorge: This is getting thick! :) Do you have a /mnt/xs-tools folder? That looks correct other than that detail. [08:02] edbian: seems to work man! yes I have that already. Problem now is that Ubuntu is not supported. :( that's another topic [08:02] cyberjorge: C [08:02] cyberjorge: Good luck man!

[08:13] siera04: probably [08:13] ^paradox^, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission [08:13] <^paradox^> ok [08:13] vegombrei, ccsm is short for : compizconfig-settings-manager [08:14] vegombrei, you'd know if you have it installed if that entry is in your main system preferences menu [08:14] vegombrei: You're running compiz which adds all the neat effects to your desktop. (wobbly windows and the wall and all that). You can change it's ridiculous range or settings with ccsm. It's a package in the repos. It stands for compiz config settings manager. "sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager" to install it. [08:14] Anybody? MTP syncing? [08:15] siera04: http://opensource.weblogsinc.com/2005/06/29/use-abiword-to-convert-filetypes-on-the-command-line/ [08:15] vegombrei: Once you have it, it should show up in System -> Preferences -> Compizconfig... [08:15] <^paradox^> that went by a little too fast to catch the url [08:15] MrSchaapman, it's a fairly common task, perhaps there are many guides already written about it ? [08:15] denysonique: let me see it. [08:16] and you know xls2pdf tool, too? [08:16] eeepc problem. ubuntu disables wifi on bios. how can fix this? [08:16] jjseven: [08:16] edbian: i just cecked it all out ..im running compiz with all cool effects [08:16] siera04: no I don't [08:16] ^paradox^, not to worry, you can check that the new version is installed by running : sudo dpkg -l | grep transmission [08:16] :) [08:16] vegombrei: Do you have the settings manager I was talking about? In System -> Preferences ?? [08:17] ^paradox^, thats an L not an I [08:17] edbian: yes [08:17] i am using "if [ -n $search ] ; then" to see if $search is empty. does that look correct? [08:17] i can dual boot on eeepc everything works.. just wifi gets disabled when i restart [08:17] edbian: any suggestions? [08:17] vegombrei: There is a LOT in there. Mess around with it some time and learn what it all does! :) Anyway, go to the "window decoration" plugin === twinsen is now known as twinsenx [08:17] <^paradox^> is the right version 1.76 (9395) ? [08:18] jjseven: Does it turn the card off in the bios on shutdown? [08:18] EastDallas, ah, tried everything on the wiki page, no dice [08:18] ^paradox^: Correct. [08:18] ^paradox^, yes... ok your edit > preferences window in transmission should look more like my original screenshot [08:19] edbian: yes. i think it does. everytime i have to turn the card back on on bios. extremely weird [08:19] <^paradox^> alright let me open it [08:19] ^paradox^, assuming that you've made sure that transmission is not running prior to all these steps you;ve taken (if its still running kill it ) [08:19] jjseven: Try "sudo modprobe -r " the module for your card. "sudo lspci -k" to find the module name [08:19] edbian: okim at the window decoration plugin [08:19] edbian: i am in windows now [08:19] <^paradox^> i did and reopened it just now [08:20] <^paradox^> under preferrences what tab do i want? [08:20] what is the default interactive shell for ubuntu? cause when im using CLI and i run xterm, it looks very different to what the default CLI loooks like [08:20] regex: Bash? [08:20] regex: shell or terminal emulator? [08:20] or not shell but rather window manager? [08:20] vegombrei: see the line "command" ?? In that box put "emerald" I'm not sure if you're going to need "emerald" or "emerald --replace" Try each one. After you restart it should now start emerald instead of metacity. :) Good luck! [08:20] regex: Gnome-Terminal. [08:20] sorry that was worded wrong [08:20] ar9825 is the card. let me boot to linux edbian [08:21] ^paradox^, network [08:21] thanks alot. i'll be back [08:21] <^paradox^> and pick a random port every time it opens? [08:21] jjseven: I had a similar issue. I had to "sudo modprobe -r viaRhine" on every shut down so that my wired interface didn't dissappear after every reboot. I wrote a shutdown script. [08:21] ^paradox^, correct, time to see if that solves your isp restrictions [08:21] <_Agent86_> hi [08:21] edbian: in the command space its says /usr/bin/compiz-decorator ... you want me to replace that? [08:22] hello, [08:22] is there an advantage of using one "terminal emulator" in comparisoon to others [08:22] vegombrei: Yeah, you want to use emerald [08:22] regex: try them all :) [08:22] <_Agent86_> my kernel download question again...need to download source for linux-2.6.28-11-generic. Where would I get it? [08:22] mobi-sheep: any recs for a decent wireless router? [08:22] How do I see/enable a boot log? In "System" -> "Administration" -> "Log File Viewer" -> "boot" it sais "(Nothing has been logged yet.)". [08:22] vegombrei: The box should have nothing else in it besides "metacity" [08:22] funkiwan: Recs? [08:23] <^paradox^> actually its now saying port 6885 is open [08:23] mobi-sheep: recommendations? [08:23] vegombrei: Sorry: typo, the box should have nothing else in it besides "emerald" or "emerald --replace" [08:23] ^paradox^, this is a good sign...see how that goes for you [08:23] edbian: oh ok ill try that [08:23] vegombrei: NP! :) Good luck! :) [08:24] Why are there duplicate desktop configuration files in /usr/share/applications/ , for example Brasero? [08:24] <^paradox^> ok ive know bothered you a good bit, but could you possibly help me with a few a settings? [08:24] funkiwan: Err. To each his own. Myself, I'd find a router that is compatible for Tomato Firmware (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato) and flash it to take full advantage. Most common routers have WPA support. [08:24] I just have updated from jaunty to karmic and my firefox dosn't work properly. When I quit properly, sometimes, if I launch it again it shows a message that it hasn't been quit nicely and propose to restore or open a new session. Is this a knowbug? What could I do? [08:24] Have any of you ripped movie into Theora vidoe , Vorbis audio and mkv container ? [08:25] quick question - what is the gnome de meta package? [08:25] funkiwan: That is crazy, right? Go to store and find a router for decent price is all I can say. [08:25] ^paradox^, describe them and I'll see if i can [08:25] mobi-sheep: thanks for the help and advice. === ellie is now known as jjseven [08:26] jjseven: How's it going? [08:26] edbian: sorry i rebooted [08:26] plunked: you mean gnome-meta? [08:26] plunked: Metapackage? It is a virtual package that points to multiple packages. [08:26] jjseven: No worries [08:26] what was it you recommend i do? edbian [08:27] i created a script and i would like to run it from any location in the command line with out the ./ [08:27] where do i place the script? [08:27] <^paradox^> just wondering what are good settings for upload and download limits? i tested my connection and my download speed for internet is 29136kbps and my upload speed is 2093kbps [08:27] jjseven: first "sudo lspci -k" to check what module your wifi uses. Then "sudo modprobe -r " to remove it. After that I bet you can reboot without loosing the card. [08:27] tarelerulz: Check out Ogmrip, I believe it have the support. [08:27] chris_: Place it in ~/bin [08:28] mobi-sheep: thanks [08:28] ok [08:28] mobi-sheep , I have movies in that format . I can't find anything beside totem that play it . The only downside is totem don't see the subtitles . That is the whole point of making an mkv [08:28] denysonique: apt-get couldnt find the package :\ [08:29] edbian: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [08:29] Kernel driver in use: ath9k [08:29] Kernel modules: ath9k [08:29] tarelerulz: I don't use Totem. I would suggest for you to test the video with VLC. [08:29] module name is ath9k [08:29] jjseven: So then "sudo modprobe -r ath9k" and reboot. I bet it solves the problem :) [08:29] its on a vm without tools so i cant see all the possibilities [08:29] <^paradox^> i had them set before after reading up on bittorrent and so forth, but after reinstalling just now i dont remember what i set my speed limits to [08:29] ^paradox^, its up to you really, but i would not saturate your outgoing speed as it will affect your incoming speeds [08:29] VLC plays it ,but the sound skips a lot . Totem is the only thing that does the sound right [08:29] edbian: will i not have wifi now? [08:29] tarelerulz: mplayer! [08:30] ^paradox^, also : some trackers & clients will limit their outgoing speed to you based on your sharing ratio.. [08:30] ok let me try that. thanks alot edbian [08:30] mobi-sheep: is ~/bin hidden? [08:30] jjseven: Yeah, if you remove the module your wifi should shut down. If this works you can write a shutdown script so that the system runs the command automatically while it is shutting down. [08:30] jjseven: NP! :) [08:30] chris_: If it does not exist, create a folder. [08:30] <^paradox^> what would you recommend based on my connection speed? honestly i have no idea what to put [08:31] chris_ have a read of this http://linuxcommand.org/wss0010.php [08:31] bonjour [08:31] hello [08:31] ^paradox^, does your ISP limit the amount you can download per month ? [08:31] edbian: i'm assuming i should shut down wifi on linux if i am going to restart windows? [08:31] <^paradox^> not that im aware of [08:32] Mplayer don't play it , vlc the sound skips lot totem player the sound and video right ,but miss the subtitles and banshee don't see subtitles at all and picks the wrong language [08:32] Does anyone know how to re add the add / remove programs under Applications? [08:32] <^paradox^> and i download a lot [08:32] Yos: hmm cd is telling me ~/bin is not a directory [08:32] ^paradox^, then i would put 50% outgoing and 90% incoming [08:32] tarelerulz: Try it with VLC. Edit sound settings and see if anything work correctly. [08:32] chris_: "mkdir ~/bin" [08:32] chris_ so have a read of the link that I sent you [08:33] <^paradox^> ill have to get a calculator [08:33] mobi-sheep: the dir is created but not scene as a dir [08:33] * kilior aaaaa [08:33] ^paradox^, also it helps to increase the maximum peers per torrent [08:33] jjseven: That doesn't make sense to me? If removing the module (the effect of "sudo modprobe -r ath9k") fixes the issue then you can make it run as part of the shut down procedure for linux. I'm assuming the problem isn't with windows at all. [08:33] chris_: Read Yos's link. I don't understand that statement. [08:33] mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/chris/bin': File exists [08:33] airtonix: can you explain more please - "i would not saturate your outgoing speed as it will affect your incoming speeds" [08:34] bash: cd: /home/chris/bin: Not a directory [08:34] i read the link (thanks btw) [08:34] quietone, one second please [08:34] <^paradox^> give me recommendations sensai ;-) . teach me things [08:34] anyone else experiencing crashes with chromium nightly? [08:34] chris_: "file /home/chris/bin" [08:35] I just have updated from jaunty to karmic and my firefox dosn't work properly. When I quit properly, sometimes, if I launch it again it shows a message that it hasn't been quit nicely and propose to restore or open a new session. Is this a knowbug? What could I do? [08:35] mobie-sheep: ok did that and i got the "/home/chris/bin: Bourne-Again shell script text executable" message [08:35] ^paradox^, 2.4meg per sec incoming you have ? then i would put a total of 2meg a sec (2,000kb/s) incoming and 100kb/s outgoing [08:35] dandre: sounds like your cache is corrupted [08:36] ^paradox^, but thats just me if i had no restrictions... you might find better advice on this topic on the irc channgel : #transmission === _Sharker is now known as Sharker [08:37] <^paradox^> for the incoming what would be in kb. theres no meg there === Sharker is now known as Guest51642 [08:37] quietone, ^paradox^ correct [08:38] <^paradox^> sorry its just a lotta math and no calculator handy [08:38] mobi-sheep: I changed the sound setting as you said and it works now [08:38] pwnedulongtime: dandre: sounds like your cache is corrupted [08:38] so how can I fix it? [08:38] tarelerulz: Yay. :3 [08:38] <^paradox^> oh lol i see it now === Guest51642 is now known as Sharker [08:39] ^paradox^, there is a bit of advice in section 2 here : http://torrentfreak.com/optimize-your-bittorrent-download-speed/ [08:39] <^paradox^> 2000kb incoming and 100kb outgoing [08:39] pwnedulongtime: dandre: sounds like your cache is corrupted [08:39] so how can I fix it? [08:39] It pretty lame to think I made video that I can't play right === Sharker is now known as Guest92976 [08:39] <^paradox^> ill have a look at that [08:41] ^paradox^, you might also benefit from enabling encryption there [08:41] <^paradox^> ok limit download speed is set to 2000kb and limit upload speed is set to 100kb [08:41] I'm having alot of trouble getting facebook's bulk upload to work. Java is loaded, but the applet just shows a gray box [08:41] <^paradox^> is that under privacy tab? [08:41] ^paradox^, yes. [08:42] <^paradox^> says allow encryption and both boxes are ticked. leav it be? [08:42] quietone, its fairly common network data transfer concept that all file transfers over tcp require a two way communication to ensure the file is sent properly. [08:42] ^paradox^, dropdown box [08:43] does anyone know the name of the gnome metapackage for ubuntu server? [08:43] <^paradox^> that says allow prefer and require [08:43] plunked: ubuntu-desktop or gnome-desktop [08:43] plunked: depending on what you want [08:43] ^paradox^, require [08:43] airtonix: ok. i'm still thinking how that fits with my experience. === Guest92976 is now known as Sharker [08:44] ikonia_: ubuntu desktop would be the desktop version of ubuntu i presume? and gnome-desktop just gnome? [08:44] <^paradox^> will it slow things up any? [08:44] Hello!!! === Sharker is now known as Guest50929 [08:44] Why does the Nautilus file browser display duplicate desktop configuration file names in /usr/share/applications/ , for example "Brasero"? Nautilus displays also identical Size, Type, Date Modified and owner, but the sizes are different. 'T43:/usr/share/applications$ ls -l | grep brasero; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3160 2009-10-30 10:20 brasero-copy-medium.desktop; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3859...

[08:44] plunked: ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage for gnome-desktop with the ubuntu configuration (icons etc) [08:45] airtonix: i've looked for #transmission without success. where it is? i'm new at this [08:45] plunked: if you want a desktop - why are you not using the desktop version of ubuntu ? [08:45] quietone, /join #transmission [08:46] ikonia_: I'm trying to create a devlopment box to test out certain tools [08:46] plunked: so why do you need to use the server edition ? [08:46] chris_, echo "PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc then logout/in [08:46] airtonix: thanks. I do find the help unhelpful! and I tried /list as well. Oh well I am there now. [08:46] chris, this thread might help explain how to : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=58023 [08:47] plunked: the desktop version is a very solid server platform [08:47] chris_reboot and it will be added [08:48] ikonia_: I'll give it another go, thanks :) [08:48] thanks [08:48] can someone tell me what gnome-fs-client means? [08:48] did anyone else get a random PM from goddard? [08:48] in the context of icons [08:49] no sorry [08:49] cdocbo, are you sure that is the correct place ? bashrc is only executed when you open the terminal [08:49] chris_ [08:49] goddard:np [08:50] chris_ I'm just learning how to use my client [08:50] airtonix, I guess that depends on what he is doing, but for most people, they are running commands from a term... [08:50] cdocbo, the ~/.profile is a better place since it enablesthat $PATH modification for more than just terminal [08:51] airtonix: I was checking and you're right about ~/.profile [08:52] can someone tell me what this means? gnome-fs-client [08:52] airtonix, if you'll read that file, it tells you that it isn't read if the user already has a .bash_profile or .bash_login. And on 9.10 it already has a $HOME/bin entry, so it wasn't working for him. [08:53] four, fs is short for file-system [08:53] goddard:cool [08:53] chris_: Still having issue with your bin? [08:53] airtonix, im trying to change the default icon but when i put in a path to the icon it would not start for me [08:53] man ubuntu [08:53] honestly, ubuntu is better than windows [08:53] and windows costs like 150$ [08:53] Zeppelin: that's great that you think that, but this is a support channel, [08:53] Zeppelin: Honestly? We already know it is better than Windows. [08:54] where could i go to rant about it's awesomeness? [08:54] windows is horrible only thing it is good for is to play games [08:54] Zeppelin: #ubuntu-offtopic [08:54] Zeppelin: no-where - it does more harm than good [08:54] <^paradox^> maximum peers per torrent is 60 and maximum peers overall is 240. im not sure if thats good or bad for me. i would follow whats on that page you linked me to, but he only told what worked for him [08:54] mobie-sheep: yeah but at this point i think my brain is too tired to do anything about it [08:54] four, do not change the xml file. instead you must do several things prior to supplying or changing the current icon : 1) determine the name of the icon theme you are using 2) determine if this icon theme is stored in the global storage place 3) find the icon (or supply it if it does not exist) 4) test it [08:54] chris_: Quickly, do "file ~/bin" [08:55] mobie-sheep:/home/chris/bin: Bourne-Again shell script text executable [08:55] four, if the icon theme is not in the global icon place then it is most likely a icon in a theme folder at ~/.icons [08:55] chris_: "cat ~/bin" -- You see your script scrolling? [08:55] airtonix, i only have one theme in .icons, and it is not the one im using [08:55] mobie-sheep:ues [08:56] airtonix, the theme i am using is in /usr/share [08:56] chris_: "mv ~/bin ~/runScript && mkdir ~/bin && mv ~/runScript ~/bin/ ; source ~/.profile ; runScript" [08:57] airtonix, how do i ;test; the icon [08:58] four, the icon that my main menu uses comes from : ~/.icons/Meliae-Dust/scalable/apps/gnome-main-menu.png [08:58] airtonix, are you using slab or the default gnome menu [08:58] airtonix, im using slab 0.9.12 [08:58] four, default main menu. [08:58] four, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34625/screenshot_005_8jOILe.png [08:58] any idea why firefox would be calling /opt/google/picasa/3.0/lib/npPicasa3.so? i've disabled the Picasa plugin, but my logs are getting flooded: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343407/ [08:59] funkiwan: uninstall the plugin completely :) [08:59] how can i remove the confirm window after i close terminal ubuntu 9.10 [08:59] airtonix, that a nice icon...the applet i am using seems to be using the 'computer' icon from my icon theme [08:59] denysonique: how? i don't see that option? [09:00] MaSSaSLaYeR: It only happen when you're doing something like sshing in for an example. [09:00] hi, i want to execute a shell script when my laptop resume from suspend? what the correct place to look in? [09:00] funkiwan: oh its installed system wide, just apt-get remove [09:00] denysonique: it's not an extension, it's a plugin. [09:00] <^paradox^> ok so ive set dl and ul speeds to 2000kb & 100kb, set encryption to require, and since im not behind a router or firewall port 6885 should be right. i assume i can leave everything else set as is? [09:00] mobi-sheep: i was just removing things as root === Sephis is now known as Sephis_BetriebRW [09:00] and it came [09:00] four, try providing an icon with the name : gnome-main-menu.png or gnome-main-menu.svg (sorry i haven;t used slab) [09:00] <^paradox^> thanks very much for your help b the way [09:01] <^paradox^> by* [09:01] airtonix, and then where should i put it [09:01] hi all [09:01] MaSSaSLaYeR: You tried to close it, right? [09:01] mobi-sheep: yep [09:01] stanley_robertso: hi [09:01] four, (since you are using /usr/share) /usr/share//scalable/apps/gnome-main-menu.png [09:01] MaSSaSLaYeR: In that case, if you were in root. You should try "exit" to back to your shell and close the terminal. [09:01] hi again, i want to execute a shell script when my laptop resumes from suspend? what the correct place to look in? I saw /etc/acpid folder but didn't find anything promising. [09:01] denysonique: i'm not interested in uninstalling picasa, just preventing firefox from trying to access it. [09:02] mobi-sheep: ok i just think it's a stupid warning :$ [09:02] four, does this thread help you ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337599 === leon is now known as Guest89505 [09:02] funkiwan: as long as firefox knows about it will 'scan' it imho [09:03] mobi-sheep: another question can i automatically give my user root privelleges instead of typing them when i want to do something? [09:03] MaSSaSLaYeR: You mean sudo? [09:04] MaSSaSLaYeR: not recommended, can cause a lot of problems, look at sudo -i or changing the sudoers file to not prompt you for a sudo password with visudo === bburhans is now known as `rm` [09:04] MaSSaSLaYeR: running as root is unsafe === `rm` is now known as bburhans [09:04] IdleOne: not connected to internet with ubuntu laptop =) [09:04] !sudo | MaSSaSLaYeR [09:04] MaSSaSLaYeR: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [09:04] ok thanks [09:04] MaSSaSLaYeR: It is not just about Internet. [09:05] Is anyone here good with installing drivers? [09:05] !anyone | MaSSaSLaYeR [09:05] MaSSaSLaYeR: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:05] airtonix, it helps a little...this program i am using is using an icon i dont even have, according to nautilus [09:05] four, which version of ubuntu are you using and what is the name of the icon theme ? [09:05] ok i will reform :p [09:05] airtonix, ubuntu 9.10, and the theme is gartoon redux [09:06] four, you obtained this theme from the apt repository ? [09:06] airtonix, no, gnome-look.org [09:06] <^paradox^> my problems are solved so ill let you guys alone. thanks again for all your help and Merry Christmas [09:06] how do i install a screenlet once ive downloaded some [09:06] or a desklet [09:06] HP Mini 2133 | Ubuntu 9.10 | Wireless Driver | BCM 4312 | Tried ndiswrapper & jockey | Tried the STA(doesn't want to activate) & B43 driver ( i got it activated once, didn't change anything) [09:06] better mobi-sheep ?

With that information, I was able to supply you with this --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133 ;-) [09:07] mobi-sheep: tried it ==> didn't work [09:07] the problem occurs after i have logged in after puttin the laptop on sleep [09:07] greetings [09:08] is there a proxy programes in ubuntu ?

Can I still keep a /home directory on my internal HDD, or do I need to rm it? [10:12] avishek: you can keep it, it will be invisible it usb is mounted [10:12] if [10:12] i did it [10:12] avishek: if you have a /home directory on your / partition, it will be hidden and inaccessible when the external /home is mounted, but will reappear if the external is unmounted. [10:12] i do it [10:13] mobi-sheep, So I used the mini to install.... Are you saying that I can encrypt while partitioning instead of saying ok to the "would you like to encrypt your home directory" question. If I do it that way will pam_mount or similar be configured or will I end up getting asked to provide a password before I authenticate? [10:13] mobi-sheep, also thankyou [10:13] Hi all, anyone used Virtualmachine to run Ubuntu ? [10:13] So I think it's possible to login w/o the external being mounted at boot time? [10:14] you can see in here http://paste.ubuntu.com/343454/ [10:14] anyone recommend a program for bluetooth connectivity to current mobile phones? [10:14] tech404: I don't know if minimal install ISO contains files for cryptsetup+lvm2 and I'd imagine they does. When you boot up, you'll be prompted to type passphrase (a lengthy one, I hope) before anything goes. The only partition that will not be encrypted is /boot .

[11:10] !noroot | papul [11:10] papul: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [11:10] what: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343477/ [11:10] !root | papul [11:10] i didnt even had to specify a root password during installation [11:10] papul: 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 [11:11] whats the name of the panel app with your username, user switch, shutdown, away, etc.? its on the top right hand side by default in gnome [11:11] but why?? [11:11] Zwierzak_, were you able to see the playlist for the vlc there sir? [11:11] papul: The root account is locked, you can use sudo to do things with elevated privledges [11:11] papul: root is disabled for security, use sudo and gksudo if you need admin powers [11:11] papul, its not as secure [11:11] papul: Because there's no real good reason for the root account to be enabled [11:11] this old chestnut eh Flannel [11:12] if you do 'sudo -i' then you can be root, or set a root password with 'sudo passwd' [11:12] ohh.... then i have gotta inform other distro users not to use root ;) [11:12] if you do 'sudo -i' then you can be root, or set a root password with 'sudo passwd' @ papul === c0p3rn1c is now known as copernic [11:12] what: Please don't suggest that here, thanks. [11:12] papul, you add people to sudo list instead - 'visudo -f / [11:12] nm, found it! indicator-applet-session :D === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [11:12] what: do't advise users of that, keep to sudo -i or sudo -s [11:12] papul, you add people to sudo list instead - 'visudo -f /etc/sudoers' [11:12] what, i prefer nano to vi [11:12] ActionParsnip, actually sudo -i is the recommended way. [11:13] ok [11:13] what: if you read the !root fctoid link it says sudo -s is advised [11:13] it fully initiates the bash shell for the root user, rather than tying to any user account [11:13] papul: or sudo -s [11:13] and secondly Flannel, linux is about choice correct? [11:13] please try to wait a minute before jumping down my throat as i was bothering to explain how multiple users can also have root privledges IF NEEDED [11:13] grendal_prime, for what? [11:14] grendal_prime, what the -s for?? [11:14] that will persistantly make you the root user.. [11:14] and also please do not assume that we know better than the potential user as to what he should or not do with his box - its his box, his choice, and i totally agree dont set root pw [11:14] what: Enabling the root account is not supported in this channel. Please do not recommend it unless you intend to be here 24 hours a day to support those with enabled root accounts. [11:14] you wont have to type sudo in front of everything [11:14] its the same as su to root in debian system [11:14] what: actually, i read the doc and its neither: http://pastebin.com/m4a5b1139 [11:14] Flannel, and you expect no one to accidentally set passwd when performing several commands with sudo in a row? i've done it lol [11:14] and how do i make my computer accesable to all like in public shells? [11:15] Flannel, how about a factoid for the bot on how to fix a system with a root password? [11:15] what: It's on the rootsudo wiki page. [11:15] but please never take the choice away from the user. [11:15] papul: do you mean access your ssh service from outside your lan? [11:15] you mean...like you need ...what? public shells? [11:15] ActionParsnip, yeah that sort of thing [11:15] what: If you have a problem with our policy, please direct your concerns to the Ubuntu Technical Board. [11:15] * airtonix adds +1 to the daily conversation cound about root/sudo [11:16] papul, maybe if you could describe what you see in your mind we could help a little better? [11:16] papul: yuo will need to setup port forwarding or virtualserver in your router [11:16] im going to bed [11:16] How come i don't have an xorg.conf file? [11:16] ActionParsnip, that will be done [11:16] night girls... [11:16] ActionParsnip, what should i install in the computer??? [11:16] are you forwarding traffic? are you letting people log into the computer? do you have a set user list? are they just sharing files?

[13:08] Alex_2_3: you can do it with sed but isn't grep made for that? [13:09] Alex_2_3: i think you may want to use awk fior that. sed is a 'Stream EDitor' but my sedfu is rather lacking. === vincent is now known as Guest65785 === Guest65785 is now known as Vinceman [13:09] Dr_Willis, I loaded up in a lower version and it can see the harddisk [13:09] Dr_Willis, it's got a titlebar on firefox, but in Xchat it won't raise the current window, it will move the treebar, and let me click on it.

[13:21] i've looked around the forums, couldn't find any working fix [13:21] sorry I see him [13:21] Vinceman: if you have any older kernels in the grub menus. try booting one of them and see if both hard disks show up, If so. that whould point to some nasty kernel bug. [13:22] I am trying to use remote desktop between two karmic on a local network. This is very very slow. How can I tweak it? [13:22] Dr_Willis I did that, I'm on one of them now it see the second drive, the newest didn't [13:22] how can i install 3d gma 945????

[13:24] thx [13:24] Dr_Willis, but for now, how can I mount the drive? [13:24] thanks ActionParsnip, will check if it works [13:24] in the older kernel? [13:24] Vinceman: use the older kernel. use the proper mount command. Or edit your /etc/fstab [13:24] what type ? [13:24] (with the mount command) [13:25] Dr_Willis^ [13:25] Vinceman: if its linux its whatever you made it. ext2 or ext3 or ext4 [13:25] I never made anything [13:25] cyber_666_uk, it might be useful to tell the kind of drive and the symptoms? [13:25] some background, my ubuntu install went tits up after an update, wouldt load the os, couldnt access it in windows so i dl'd some software which ended up doing somthing to my external hdd. [13:25] Vinceman: then where did it come from? [13:25] my fault i know - i shouldt have messed [13:25] what do you mean? I put it in there at some LAN-Party [13:26] does any1 have any clues why i'm getting the 'waiting for /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt' messages during boot ?

I have networking all set up but can't see where to set the path for evolutions default folder location [13:26] i know have my ubuntu back but my external drive is nt recognised in windows or ubuntu [13:26] cyber_666_uk, it's a computer, they were made to mess with, how else would you find out anything? [13:26] Vinceman: so someone aprtitoned the hard disk and made the filesystems. fire up gparted and see what it says they are.. or try ext4, see if it works [13:26] exactly - just saying its not the program i used it must have been me [13:26] tinkering :) [13:26] can anything go wrong? [13:26] if I try ext4? [13:27] cyber_666_uk: do "tailf /var/log/messages" and plug the disk paste the new output you get [13:27] CShadowRun: do you know how to scale the display?

Who could do it? [13:28] !latest [13:28] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

[14:59] yea i have it - i thought it might be because i had snapping windows enabled but that wasnt it [14:59] ah ok maybe i dont have it === Sharker is now known as Guest18451 [14:59] ActionParsnip, Now ive installed screensavers. Ill be inactive for a while and see how it goes. [14:59] SoulBlade, fusion-icon is also another handy tool to have around when using compiz [15:00] judgen: if you change xorg.conf you'll need to restart X [15:00] ActionParsnip, i have all those lines in my xorg allready. Plus many more.

[15:02] anyone know if their is linux for motorola rival [15:02] SoulBlade, so you can have a window straddle the monitor chasm but when you try to resize the window it decides that it will only live on one of the two monitors ? [15:03] howdy [15:03] airtonix: if the window is mainly in one monitor it can jump to be all on one monitor - yes. ive seen that [15:04] Dr_Willis, it was a question regarding SoulBlades situation. === Guest18451 is now known as Sharker [15:04] Dr_Willis, as it doesn't happen to me and i was trying to clarify the situation [15:04] I wonder if one can get a compiz key setting to max a window across both.

[15:38] hi:) [15:39] Raven737: yup, just put the disc in, it'll automatically offer to dual boot for you. [15:39] Raven737, yes if there is space, just boot from the cd and follow the guide partitioning section === Guest32169 is now known as Sharker [15:39] Raven737, I would recomend to partition the drive first then make sure windows works then install ubuntu === Sharker is now known as Guest32712 [15:40] Raven737: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm [15:40] mezquitale: why? that makes it a whole lot more complicated [15:40] If you install windows first, then install ubuntu, ubuntu handles everything, sets up grub boot menu for you, job done [15:40] mezquitale: well windows is setup and works, i want ubuntu as well but without changing the hdd layout.. [15:40] heyho. [15:41] how can i check whether i'm connected via gbit or 100mbit lan? [15:41] Raven737: ubuntu will create it's own partition and resize your windows one [15:41] airtonix: ok, thanks for the help, and by space you mean normal unused space, not unpartitioned space, right? [15:41] spacebison, that guide uses an older version of ubuntu...so the stesp woon;t be the same in Raven737 is using 9.10 [15:42] CShadowRun: oh i see, great, thanks for the info! :) [15:42] Raven737, both. ubuntu guided partitioning stage of the installer will be able to make use of either [15:42] Raven737: np :) [15:42] Raven737, you can install wubi inside windows, otherwise you will have to repartition your drive using gparted, if you want to know how to partition the drive just ask [15:42] Raven737, make sure you have shut windows down properly before attempting this [15:42] Right, it's still pretty much the same though, you just have to be careful not to wipe the whole drive [15:43] CShadowRun, it's not complicated using a GUI and gparted, for beginners I would rather partition the drive first since that process alone takes a long time [15:43] mezquitale: but the installer would take the exact same amount of time :S === Guest32712 is now known as Sharker === Sharker is now known as Guest60547 [15:44] what would cause a usb storage device to disconnect on one machine, but not another? [15:44] CShadowRun, caveat emptor! if you want the utility to do it for you, that's fine, if you want to actually see what's going on and you want to be in control then use gparted then install ubuntu [15:45] spacebison, Raven737 this guide is more relevant : http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-9-10-126370.shtml [15:45] mezquitale: uh wubi is cool, i didn't even knew something like that was possible, i think i'll start with that and see how it goes. Thank you! [15:45] mezquitale: exactly, see what's going on and want to be in control, that's not for beginners [15:45] hi === Richard is now known as Guest70080 [15:45] i need some help formatting and partitioning a drive so i can install windows 7 [15:45] airtonix: thank you! [15:45] Raven737: i wouldn't recommend wubi for long term use, ntfs tends to be unstable and the drive images can occasionally corrupt [15:45] can anyone help me ? [15:46] Raven737, but before you do anything : a few questions : 1) how much free space do you have left ? [15:46] Guest70080, boot up into a live CD and use gparted [15:46] i tried gparted [15:46] CShadowRun: yea i though so, but by drive image you mean just that which wuib would use, right? [15:46] Guest70080, and what happens? [15:46] Raven737: yea, i had a friend who used wubi and one day he had a power cut, and then his drive image was corrupted and ubuntu wouldn't boot anymore. [15:46] but when i right clicked the white bar that represented my harddrive, the "new" option isnt selectable [15:47] Raven737: CD install is always best imo :) [15:48] so then i tried using terminal and it says that because the amount of cylinders in my hard drive is more than 1024, it may present problems in booting and partitioning programs from other OS's [15:48] Guest70080, the first thing you want to do is create some free space, do you only have one partition? [15:48] and sinse i'm trying to install windows 7 [15:48] i thought i'd better not do it that way [15:48] erm [15:48] think theres two [15:48] CShadowRun: ok thanks, i'll read the guides and see which sems most dooable for me, thanks! [15:48] Guest70080, are you trying to install ubuntu or windows 7?

I am as fresh an Ubuntu user as you can find. I've been reading the documentation etc. My question is: how do I access my network connections? I have 2 wireless cards, and I want to disable one of htem [16:17] them* [16:18] SandGorgon, you'll probably need that for lots of things.. darned good to set it up before you are needed at 3 am. [16:18] juan__ : I have a Quickcam 9000 and Ubuntu 9.10, and it just worked when I plugged it in. [16:18] If you're going to disable it, you might aswell remove it from your computer [16:18] its internal, I can't [16:18] both ?

[16:20] Oponium, wow! ok thanks :) [16:20] My question is basically, I'm missing the network connections option for some reason [16:21] all docs point to a Network app which I dont have [16:21] pcl0adl3tt3r, should be in your system tray [16:21] pcl0adl3tt3r, or go to system --> administration --> network [16:21] I have network tools, no network [16:21] thats why im stumped [16:21] hm, i have it on hardy. [16:21] is it in your system tray? [16:21] Do the iso images on the download page get updated after release? [16:21] I see the wireless antenna, if thats what you mean [16:21] JonathanEllis, don't think so. [16:22] pcl0adl3tt3r, um. [16:22] i don't have wireless so i'm not very good with it.

[16:24] Hello friends. I have an issue. I recently broke my arm in a car accident, and I am trying to get mousetrap working. But when I start it, it does absolutely nothing. [16:24] Can someone help me? [16:25] pcl0adl3tt3r, not sure. think in newer releases of ubuntu they use network manager for network connection management instead of the traditional method (ifup and stuff) [16:25] i dont think I have that for some reason [16:26] can nobody help me ? [16:26] pcl0adl3tt3r: i don't think reinstalling will help you. you do have NetworkManager, it works in the background. The wireless thing you're clicking on now is called nm-applet, it is the front end for NetworkManager [16:26] Rich864: with what [16:26] It's very difficult for me to work my mouse, and I need help you guys! [16:26] Oponium: My system gets updated almost every day. I just wondered if any of the updates get incorporated into the iso images. I had a disaster trying to install Karmic and someone suggested it was a good idea to wait a few weeks after release date before trying a new release if I didnt want to suffer teething troubles. So does that mean the iso gets updated after release? If I download a karmic iso now, would it have updated packages on it compared t [16:26] i'm trying to partition a harddrive using the ubuntu install CD [16:27] so im still confused...how do i disable it then [16:27] JonathanEllis, no. ubuntu releases get updated after release (i.e., ubuntu 8.04 is updated to 8.04.1 then 8.04.2 and now its at 8.04.3). [16:27] JonathanEllis, I think they do that with the LTS, not sure about the tweenleases though. === papul_ is now known as papul [16:27] ubottu: the fakeraid install is for desktop only, am I wright? How to install server on software raid5? [16:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:27] Rich864: yea and? how far did you get? you put the cd in , computer boots off the cd [16:27] mousetrap is in the ubuntu software center. Does it work for anyone else? I installed it properly then I click on the icon and it does nothing. It's making my laptop fan get all loud so I think I might have like 10 processes of it running. [16:27] JonathanEllis, sorry. _LTS_ releases get updated after release. after a certain period of time. regular releases don't. [16:27] hey everyone, can i turn on internal speaker in ubuntu, my external speaker is taken over [16:28] Please help! My arm is broken and using my mouse SUCKS [16:28] i'm just at the main menu [16:28] this is bizarre: gui tools don't like my password but cli tools do [16:28] selekta after install, run update ? [16:28] somebody told me to use live CD to do it, so i booted from cd, and then he just dissapeared [16:28] Rich864: you want to install ubuntu right, then go head and select to install it [16:28] . [16:28] :)) [16:28] i dont want to install ubuntu [16:28] !info keynav | selekta - i don't know about mousetrap, but i thought you might find this useful [16:28] its already installed [16:28] selekta: keynav (source: keynav): a keyboard-driven mouse cursor mover.

So if I download a new Hardy iso it will have updated packages compared to the one I downloaded last year but not with Jaunty or Karmic [16:29] ^_^ [16:29] how do i manage runlevel services on debian systems? [16:29] i'm trying to partition a harddrive so i can install windows 7 [16:29] eek [16:29] pcl0adl3tt3r: I am searching for you, because I've forgotten :) [16:29] how make my ubuntu support ssh? [16:29] Rich864: oh boy... generally it's recommended you install windows first then ubuntu [16:29] is there a way to access applications without the applications list? like going through the file explorer? [16:29] jasman, Server or client [16:29] !ssh | jasman [16:29] jasman: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

[16:30] Rich864: I just repartitioned to install windows. Can I help you? [16:30] pcl0adl3tt3r: or you can just type their name in a terminal [16:30] but made a few mistakes when installing ubuntu, and completely wiped windows vista off the system [16:30] hey everyone, can i turn on internal speaker in ubuntu, my external speaker is taken over [16:30] !sshd [16:30] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH.

[16:30] Rich864: well you can install something like Gparted on ubuntu then create a new partition [16:30] is updaterc-d the equivalent to checkconfig for red hat? [16:31] Oponium: Thanks. [16:31] JonathanEllis: Yes please, i tried to install windows 7, and it told me than it couldnt be installed on a partition that wasnt formatted to NTFS [16:31] i did installed Gparted, but it wouldnt let me create a new partition [16:31] install* [16:31] Rich864: it should let you [16:31] Hi all. I can't find the information on the ubuntu download page, so I was hoping someone could tell me what the difference between Ubuntu desktop and ubuntu alternate edition. or provide a link where i can read for myself, please? [16:31] Rich864: I would download and burn Gparted iso and format drive to ntfs with that. It's free [16:31] i selected my harddrive, then right clicked the white bar that represents my harddrive, and the "new" option wasnt highlighted === ring1 is now known as ring0 [16:32] Rich864 you need to install ntfsprogs in order to be able to format to ntfs [16:32] Rich864: Yes. Windows needs to be installed on a FAT, FAT32 or NTFS partition. It also has to be a primary partition. [16:32] i searched for network and only got proxy properties [16:32] okay, so which one of you fine gentlemen will tell me which option is easiest :) [16:33] i'm trying to uninstall kubuntu [16:33] and i get the error message [16:33] Rich864: to install ntfsprogs [16:33] Rich864 -- sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs -- then try gparted again, you should now be able to format a partition to ntfs [16:33] Internal error [16:33] hey everyone, can i turn on internal speaker in ubuntu, my external speaker is taken over [16:33] Failed to run pylauncher [16:33] it's inside windows 7 [16:33] okay brb, i'll go try that [16:33] thanks [16:33] and it says i don't have permission [16:33] Rich864: There are a few choices you can make while repartitioning to make your windows installation a bit more robust which I can take you through if you like [16:33] Rich864:after you install ntfsprogs it is smooth sailing from there in gparted. [16:33] but i am administrator [16:33] anybody wants to help me? [16:33] if someone answered, i missed it. what is the application name in /user/bin for the network settings [16:34] hello all, is there an applet available that is more than just volume control? I need one with mixer settings [16:34] pcl0adl3tt3r: You can search through the channel on your name using [Ctrl] F to find any previous answers [16:35] thanks jonathanellis [16:35] what group do I need to be in to use alsamixer? I get "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" but it works fine if I do sudo alsamixer [16:35] no one answered yet [16:35] lolmac, This isnt a support channel for asking questions about WIndows hosts try #windows [16:35] I'm in the audio group already [16:35] White_Pelican: If you right click on the volume control and select "Open volume control" you get a mixer similar to the windows one. Is that what you want or are you looking for a proper mixing applet [16:35] Tiders- [16:35] thanks [16:36] lolmac, They will probably be able to help you more [16:36] Tiders- [16:37] do you know anything called pylauncher in linux? [16:37] JonathanEllis, I am looking for a proper mixng applet [16:37] I'm trying to replace what I had in kde [16:37] Okay, i'm back, i installed ntfsprogs and the "new" option in gparted still isnt clickable [16:37] can someone tell me the name of the application for network settings so i can launch it from user/bin/ rather than the system menu [16:37] lolmac, Im not sure sorry [16:37] Rich864: Do you still need help on partitioning for windows? I have spent the last few days doing that and sorting it to have separate partitions for Documents and Settings and other key directories [16:38] Yes please [16:38] but i just want this to go as fast as possible [16:38] my brother barely even uses his pc [16:38] I can't find out what Ubuntu Alternate version has. Can anyone tell me where I can find this? [16:38] so i don't really think he needs different partitions for documents and settings etc [16:38] White_Pelican: What do you want to mix? I am a sound engineer so I should be able to understand your question. You might also ask your question in #ubuntustudio as more audio people might hang out in there [16:39] salut [16:39] should i re-install ubuntu? I can't imagine doing all that for a single missing app [16:39] been trying to install windows 7 for like 2 hours now [16:40] Rich864: The advantage of separate partitions is that then changes in Docs & Settings cant fragment operating system and program files. In My experience, fragmentation on an NTFS volume is what slows down the pc the most [16:40] ok everyone :D .. i hear ppl say things about "linux" being "virues free" .. what is that ? [16:40] pcl0adl3tt3r: you are not missing the application, it just doesn't do what you want, which is to disable the hardware itself [16:40] but other people have that option [16:40] all the documentation ive seen references this menu choice [16:40] basically what I want to do is change the audio settings on the output and input [16:40] it's really hard to get a virus using ubuntu [16:40] but it's still possible [16:40] is the only difference between a minimal install and the regular full install the ubuntu-desktop package? [16:41] yeah, linux is built to be pretty secure, so most hackers don't bother writing viruses for it [16:41] SquareOne: Text-based installation. Contains support for LVM + Encryption' [16:41] in ubuntu 9.10 i have another host command ...how can i use the old host command ...the difference between them is the output [16:41] !alternative | Suqare [16:41] Suqare: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [16:41] SquareOne: See ^ [16:41] hmm .. ok .. question #2 .. how are "linux and ubuntu" are related .. that might sound stupid .. but i wanna know ^^ [16:41] old command: $ host example.com [16:41] example.com A 192.0.32.10 ...new command: host example.com [16:41] example.com has address 192.0.32.10 [16:42] w00t! I just found how to install it [16:42] and it worked [16:42] Rich864: I have created separate partitions for windows, documents and settings, my documents, my music and swap space. So my windows installation is more like a linux installation. The swap file changes size all the time so if that is on the same partition as everything else it can cause fragmentation. [16:42] ubuntu is a linux distribution, there are many flavours of linux [16:42] kinja-sheep: thank-you. I could only find information on desktop and server versions, who's useage is rather obvious. [16:42] JonathanEllis: Thanks, i understand that, but it's my brothers PC that i'm trying to install Windows 7 on, and as i said, he barely ever uses it, so a little slowing down won't really affect him [16:42] !eggdrop [16:42] never2far: you can try the command dig, dig google.com [16:42] water, mm .. ubuntu is the best ?? ^^ ? [16:43] <`mOOse`> pcl0adl3tt3r: I am not on my ubuntu install at the moment, but I know somewhere out there in the universe, there's a more comprehensive applet that controls nics ... you might want to check your Synaptic and browse [16:43] is there a good prog out for converting VOB files to mpg? [16:43] will do [16:43] ubuntu is probably the most user friendly distro, and has a large hardware compatability out of the box [16:43] water, thanks ^^ [16:44] ;) [16:44] LinuxCommunity, ty [16:44] never2far: you welcome [16:44] Rich864: It also makes sense to keep your data separate from your programs to simplify backup and recovery. You will have to create a partition for windows anyway so why not start in a good way, then the pc should hopefully stay fast. This discussion could get quite involved. Would other people prefer it if we talked privately? Rich would that be better for you too? [16:44] water, do you know what is the "BEST" way to have an "Audio conversation" in linux ? [16:44] <`mOOse`> pcl0adl3tt3r: I can't promise it's in the normal repositories - make sure you have all of them installed so you can see ALL the software out there [16:44] I went with ubuntu fulltime after my windows would not install (weird, that never happened before, but i guess it was meant to be) [16:44] To be honest, he hasn't given me a reason why he doesnt like ubuntu, he hasn't even tried it, so i'm having to install windows on his computer again, and he's not exactly saying please, so as long as windows is installed on his PC, i don't care how slow it goes :) [16:44] possibly skype? [16:45] Rich864: I take it you wont be using the windows yourself then? [16:45] I use skype for phone service, as well to call pc to pc [16:45] Rich864: Got an external HDD? You could use dd to copy the hard drive, byte for byte so it will be exactly same! :o [16:45] pcl0adl3tt3r: The last section of this article, "Ignore Specific Devices" could help you: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Ignore_specific_devices [16:45] water, i tried skype Beta version .. the voice has a "wosshhh" kinda thing .. from my "mic input" side .. do you know anything i can do to fix that ? [16:45] the only external drive i have is a 4gb memory stick [16:46] which probably wont be enough [16:46] anybody having startup problems with conky? [16:46] <`mOOse`> Rich864: to install ubuntu on? [16:46] <`mOOse`> it's plenty big enough [16:46] I can't seem to find any applets for volume control anymore [16:46] maybe you can try a different mic, like a usb one. [16:46] i don't want to install ubuntu [16:46] wolter: #conky [16:46] <`mOOse`> I have a usb install of 9.10 and a 3 gig casper-rw and it works great [16:47] Rich864: What OS are you using now? [16:47] i know my laptop mic isnt that great [16:47] <`mOOse`> oh sorry - misunderstood [16:47] White_Pelican: System --> Preferences --. Sound? [16:47] yeah, and try playing with the sound settings [16:47] usb mic ... sounds cool .. is it "better" ? [16:47] meganox: thank you [16:48] Ookami: Try reducing the mic input voice a bit. See if that help. [16:48] hi [16:48] says waiting for sound system to respond [16:48] kinja-sheep .. it's either "too low to hear" or "wooshy" [16:48] Ookami: Any microphone whether usb or analog is only as good as the capsule. You can buy professional mics with usb outputs but maybe that is not what you want === Mud is now known as Guest51179 [16:48] Ookami: A cheap mic is always a cheap mic [16:48] well a headset would be best, usb or not === Guest51179 is now known as Mud [16:49] usb usually only if your soundcard doesn't work well [16:49] JonathanEllis, lol .. true .. what's a capsule .. and what should i do to get the "best" sound possible [16:49] Rich864: Can you refresh my memory on what the partitioning problem is and what you want to achieve? [16:49] is it a bug on www.ubuntu.com now? on the side <^, you see big black letters spelling "p or laptop" (with no other text near it/explaining it) [16:49] water, my sound card is working ok [16:49] oh hi there [16:50] Ookami: What are you trying to do? You could spend hundreds of pounds even thousands for a mic but I doubt thats appropriate [16:50] I have a problem. if the network cable is connected, my mobile broadband was not connected. is there any idea to solve it? [16:50] Thank you all for your help! [16:50] Tiders- [16:50] i need help [16:50] its about sound recording [16:50] JonathanEllis, i'm just asking, how do i "improve" the audio conversations ? [16:50] wubi is a virtual machine? [16:50] lolmac, Yes?

[16:52] Trota Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux [16:52] the hiss might be due to mic sensitivity being too high, or the 'mic boost' being on [16:52] <`mOOse`> Ookami: do you have a windows machine? if so, have you tried skype on that os?

[16:54] no man [16:54] Trota, but yes, just a million times more functional [16:54] Torta, loool agree with wolter [16:54] do you see the speaker icon? [16:54] my teacher told me to look up for ubuntu [16:54] Torta, it's an OS ^^ [16:54] Trota: Its what all programs like paint, office etc run on top of [16:54] but i dont know what it is [16:55] yes, i clicked it but i do not see anuthing like that [16:55] Trota: Have you been to the www.ubuntu.com website? [16:55] <`mOOse`> Trota - are you hot for teacher? [16:55] Trota is a lamer who live in Porto and troll people for living [16:55] Trota: There may be answers there. [16:55] *any control for mic. [16:55] Trota, just tell her what I told you. Also tell her it is based off Debian, which is (as ubuntu) a GNU/Linux system [16:55] Trota: You might want to google for "Operating System". There is probably a good explanation on Wikipedia [16:55] oh i c [16:55] cant a guy troll a bit? [16:55] mic is all way down [16:55] :P [16:55] !troll | Trota [16:55] Trota: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [16:55] and mic boost is off [16:55] hmmm [16:55] lol, its just so funny [16:55] its like [16:56] I find the sound controls in 9.10 weird [16:56] <`mOOse`> Trota - you ARE hot for teacher, arntcha? [16:56] in windows i have a crystal clear guitar recording [16:56] * `mOOse` knew it! [16:56] lorena guzman raya [16:56] jmunoz, ? [16:56] water, JonathanEllis .. how do i configure "boost" and "mic sensitivity" .. and all of those things here in ubuntu ^^ ?? :D [16:56] in linux (i tried ubuntu, xubuntu and puppy) i gota extrange noisy in the backround [16:56] araya [16:57] Ookami right click on the speaker icon and preferences [16:57] find * -maxdepth 2 -type f -mtime +30 -print | xargs mv 1MONTH [16:57] btw ubuntu is nice [16:57] WTFsound maybe it's the drivers [16:57] what am i misisng to get this logic to work [16:57] Ookami: Right click on the loudspeaker icon at the top of your screen and select Open Volume Control. Go to the Recording tab or the Switches tab [16:57] water, "input Volume" .. only that ? [16:57] i can use Gutiar Rig on wine perfectly [16:57] Ookami yeah, i suppose that's it [16:57] but that noise fucks me up [16:58] WTFsound, what is the noise like? Interference? [16:58] how to share the screen over the internet [16:58] WTFsound, like a tv channel with no signal? [16:58] JonathanEllis, can't see any "volume control" .. unless you mean "sound Prefrences" [16:58] !ohmy | WTFsound [16:58] WTFsound: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [16:58] Has anyone use usb_modeswitch in ubuntu 9.10? [16:58] yeah... I think i have a little hiss in my laptop mic aswell [16:58] No one here using emacs, everybody switched to gedit ha? [16:58] intel, there is an application called gitso, you might want to check that out [16:58] water, i tried that before .. nothing good happen ^^ [16:58] someone here record songs on his ubuntu? === Zaeon is now known as Ziaeon [16:59] nmvictor, and geany =D [16:59] there no man page for usb_modeswitch. [16:59] ? [16:59] intel: screen? As in terminal multiplayer notepad or the desktop? [17:00] i would bet that he means desktop [17:00] kinja-sheep, hows your xps m1530?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [17:01] how do i watch http://www.cbsatlanta.com/video/15514619/index.html streaming video in karmic? i've got default settings, but get errors [17:01] wolter: You? [17:01] WTFsound, is your sound heard in the recording or constantly while using the desktop [17:02] recording, when i activate to hear the noise, the sound its not there [17:02] kinja-sheep, better than ever. Just upgraded to kernel 2.6.32 and removed pulseaudio. Also, haven't had kernel panics in months [17:02] *to hear de mic [17:02] WTFsound, do your recordings work on windows? [17:02] yes, and very well [17:02] wolter, what is pulseaudio .. ?? [17:03] WTFsound: I've run into similar problems when recording under linux. If you intend on using linux for music production, I'd suggest using the JACK audio server, which provides low-latency, high quality audio management. It is, unfortunately, not particularly easy to set up. [17:03] My university has a wi-fi network, which uses NTLM authentication. My laptop connects to this network using wlan0, and i use CNTLM for proxy authentication. Now, i want to connect a desktop computer to the laptop using laptop's eth0, and i want all traffic through laptop's eth0 to be proxied through CNTLM with gateway device as wlan0 such that i dont need to make proxy settings on the desktop. how can this be done? [17:03] yes, i set up jack [17:03] Ookami, are you Trota-ing? [17:03] Ah. [17:03] Nevermind. [17:03] :P [17:03] but still have noise [17:03] actully ,, no ^^ [17:03] WTFsound, maybe the guys at #linux can help, there are pretty wise guys there [17:04] Ookami: [17:04] Does anyone have an idea as to why an SSH session wouldn't fully connect and it's suddenly getting stuck on: "debug1: Offering public key: /home/anthony/.ssh/id_rsa"? I have been using key-based authentication. [17:04] wolter, no man ^^ .. i'm just wondering .. + .. i'm a "beginner" [17:04] WTFsound, or it could be the application you are using to record... which one is it? [17:04] Ookami: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio [17:04] try that again lol sorry [17:04] !pulseaudio|Ookami: [17:04] Ookami:: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [17:04] wolter: in ubuntu server? [17:04] Ookami, oh... I had this idea i had seen your name before long ago ~i thought you were "pro"-ish [17:04] WTFsound, yes [17:04] Ookami, its like the default audio system installed [17:05] Ookami, but i prefer alsa so much better [17:05] lool .. i'm not ^^ "pro"ish .. i think i have this pulsaudio thing .. and i'm having problems in my "mic" when try to have audio conversations .. can you help me somehow [17:05] how do i know ,, which one i have .. pulseaudio .. or alsa ? [17:06] Hi. I got 8.04, and python is way screwed, how can I fix it? It keeps saying "No module named ___" (whatever program I'm trying to run) [17:06] Ookami, you are using pulseaudio, its ubuntu's default [17:06] I apt-get install'd otfc-hybrid on my Ubuntu PC, but it's not accepting IRC connections from port 6667. [17:06] Ookami, have you looked that problem up? [17:06] wolter, hmm .. so what should i do ^^ ? [17:07] that was the first thing in the list from apt-get install ircd [17:07] Ookami, you want to try out alsa? [17:07] Ookami, perhaps you should look up that problem more and get to know if it is related to pulseaudio [17:07] I have found Pulse to be very good since 8.10 /shrug [17:07] on #linux noone helps. [17:07] wolter, i guess .. but i don't want to lose my "sound card" .. cuz it happens before [17:07] Ookami, to use alsa you'd better install the new kernel (easy, I can point you to a 3 step guide) and then install some other stuff [17:07] ??? [17:07] ... [17:08] Ookami, pulseaudio is based on alsa, so don't worry about that [17:08] :C [17:08] SirTopHat: Use Port 8001? [17:08] WTFsound, did you go to #linux or ##linux [17:08] wolter, "i'm updating regularly" .. i see "kernel" updates .. is that it ^^ [17:08] Can I have some opinions please? I am planning a dual boot with windows and Jaunty. I may want to try another release in the future but I will want to keep my working config intact. In the past I have had a separate /boot/grub partition as keeping the bootloader and the OS separate seemed like a sensible idea, so if I lost one OS I could still boot the others. That didnt answer completely as each time I install another distro/release it would either [17:08] mad cows disease bird flu swine flu its farmageddon [17:08] ups... [17:08] ##linux [17:08] <][ceman> I'm using net ads join to get attached to a windows server 2003 Active directory. I'm now getting an error after configuring smb.conf. Do you have to specify an OU if you don't have rights to the to the base? [17:08] that doesn't accept either [17:08] hi, how can i pull up all the files and directories that have 777 permissions on them? [17:08] WTFsound, xchat converts my #linux to ##linux automatically, but if not join ##linux [17:08] !dualboot | JonathanEllis [17:08] JonathanEllis: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [17:09] Ookami, open up a terminal and run [$ uname -r] [17:09] Ookami, you'll get probably something like 2.6.31.X [17:09] Does anyone have an idea as to why an SSH session wouldn't fully connect and it's suddenly getting stuck on: "debug1: Offering public key: /home/anthony/.ssh/id_rsa"? I have been using key-based authentication. [17:09] SirTopHat: Gotcha. I'm guessing you have to read the manual. Also, configure your firewalls. [17:09] Ookami, thats the current kernel version ubuntu distributes [17:09] h00k: when you installed the SSH did the computer make the keys properly [17:09] agh why does everything need a manual [17:10] Ookami, the ubuntu guys have us like in a bubble, which is good because they protect us from disease [17:10] h00k: Thanks [17:10] Ookami, but kernel 2.6.32 is actually better in many ways [17:10] sweetandy: can you explain me more about configuring correctly jack? [17:10] LinuxCommunity: it did, and they even worked last night. Nothing has chanced since. [17:10] I was going to upgrade to karmic but seems very large upgrade im using ubuntu 9.04 [17:10] wolter .. what's the command again please ^^ [17:10] if i see if i can remove the hiss with it [17:10] LinuxCommunity: they have been working for approximately a year. [17:10] Ookami, for example, i had this problem with filtering in banshee.. it was too slow (all sqlite was slow) and with the new kernel my problem got solved [17:10] Ookami, uname -r [17:10] WTFsound: Unfortunately not really, and even if I could, I've only done it under Arch linux, not Ubuntu :( [17:10] LinuxCommunity: also, my .ssh/id_rsa key is correct [17:11] hey. is it possible to install a jaunty domU under a hardy xen install (dom0) ? i see xen-tools and debootstrap don't have a jaunty profile on hardy [17:11] Ookami, I just like to enclose in [] to let people know what is normal blabber text and what is actually important text [17:11] h00k: strange as can be, i was running SSH on my server but there was no point cause i make all changes internally so i decided just telet it. but thats me. [17:11] nevermind I got it [17:11] h00k: so the only problem is connecting [17:11] very true ^^ .. i was putting "my username" instead of "uname" .. anyhow my bad lol .. i got you man [17:11] LinuxCommunity: Yeah, I don't want to telnet. [17:12] wolter, it' says 2.6.31 - 16-generic [17:12] crickle, stat -c "%a - %n" ./* | grep '777' [17:12] i have another doubt [17:12] LinuxCommunity: correct [17:12] how the fuck you compile from sources gcc ? lol [17:12] with wich compiler? [17:12] Ookami, of course, its the latest ubuntu distributed kernel [17:12] !language [17:12] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:12] wolter, so .. i'm good to go .. ? [17:13] WTFsound: gcc can be used to compile gcc itself [17:13] wolter, or need to update ^^ ? [17:13] Ookami, but do you really want to upgrade your kernel? If you have nvidia graphics card (and drivers) you don't have to worry about graphic driver issues [17:13] WTFsound: sudo apt-get install gcc or sudo apt-get install g++ [17:13] WTFsound: sudo apt-get install build-essential [17:13] Ookami, its totally optional [17:13] yesyes i know [17:13] WTFsound: then its usually make then make install [17:13] but if youre on a distro that has not repository support [17:13] Hi [17:14] WTFsound: this channel is for ubuntu support, are you having a problem with an ubuntu install ? [17:14] WTFsound: Get a binary version of gcc? [17:14] WTFsound, ah, well... crack your knuckles and start googling? hehe [17:14] wolter, hmmm .. man i'm confused .. all i want is a better "audio conversation" capabilities ^^ [17:14] or what sweetandy said [17:14] i reinstalled ubuntu karmic. but now, its not accessing all my ntfs drives in my harddisk.. previously it did. now it says "not authorised" .. plz help, urgent,. i need the data from those drives. plz [17:14] WTFsound: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html [17:14] Ookami, yeah, I just said you could use alsa instead of pulseaudio, but that you should really look up if you're problem is really related to pulseaudio. What application are you using to audio chat? [17:14] ;J [17:15] krishna: that normally means it's in need of a chkdisk in the windows install, it's marked as dirty [17:15] krishna, you just need to setup the rights for it [17:15] krishna: the error can be quite miss-leading [17:15] krishna, oh ignore me then [17:15] ikonia, ok. what shall i do now ? [17:15] well chaps [17:15] krishna: boot into windows and chkdisk them [17:15] am off to install debian [17:15] its been fun [17:15] krishna: that may not be the actual problem, however that seems to be the most common [17:16] wolter, only skype for know ,, do you know any other things .. i just don't know any on ubuntu .. pidgin have to voice .. empathy have no voice .. aaaaah it's problematic lol .. or i'm just a beginner i guess [17:16] for now* [17:16] Hi. I got 8.04, and python is way screwed, how can I fix it? It keeps saying "No module named ___" (whatever program I'm trying to run) [17:16] ikonia, ok. i'll do that now [17:16] <`mOOse`> Ookami: you got xp or win7 on a machine? [17:16] ookami [17:16] 'mOOse' yes .. vista .. it works better as i recall .. like skype works better there [17:16] Ookami, no... audio chat in linux is a bit less common than it is in windows [17:16] Ookami, so its not as supported as it should be [17:17] Ookami: There is another audio conferencing application. Let me have a look [17:17] Hi all I have a issue I restarted my computer just to restart it didnt do any updates or anything and my nvidia 9800 stoped working an the system reverted to my onboard nvidia7050 how do i get it back over to my 9800? [17:17] Ookami, what is specifically your skype problem? [17:17] JonathanEllis, please :D .. thanks a lot [17:17] Ookami: Ekiga comes installed with Ubuntu [17:17] I can't figure out from google or man ircd how to restart ircd [17:17] without restarting the whole PC [17:17] Ookami, yes, but probably your contacts dont have ekiga [17:17] <`mOOse`> ok, well, make sure ...that way at least you can take your ISP out of the possibilities [17:17] wolter, the mic from my side .. is the only problem .. i's not clear enough [17:17] wolter, i'm talking with ppl using "windows" .. anyway .. what is ekiga ?? [17:18] Ookami, i guess they use skype, don't they? [17:18] Ookami: Go to Add/Remove Applications or Software Centre and search for phone. Seems like there are a few [17:18] yup [17:18] Ookami, ekiga is like another skype, but is not compatbile with it [17:18] blue: sounds like your card is fried or came dislodged from it's slot [17:18] JonathanEllis, alright .. i'll look up something [17:18] Ookami: If you need to talk to people on skype, use skype [17:19] does bootchart also show the time taken by grub? [17:19] ctmjr: yea I thought that so i unpluged it and pluged it back in but still nothing. If it was fried though u would think I would have had issues some flickers or something but nothing it rebooted without a issue just didnt come back on.

[17:20] Ookami: "sudo aptitude install padevchooser" and edit your mic input! [17:21] wolter, in "input-level" if too low .. i can't be heard "as low voice" .. if high .. it gets wooshy .. [17:21] blue: by chance do you have another open slot you can plug it into, [17:21] Hi. I got 8.04, and python is way screwed, how can I fix it?

[17:37] it's been on that for a minute now [17:37] because iwconfig doesn't display the wireless information if it isn't sudo [17:37] it's only 1.5MB [17:38] I mean I would rather have a fix for that thing that being forced to run conky sudo, obviously, but after searching I haven't found anything [17:38] sheaf, i assume you are using iwconfig to obtain things like the wan address ?

[17:41] SirTopHat: I've done that before :) [17:41] ok [17:41] hi guys, when I boot my machine, i no longer have the user status applet in the top right (usually shows my username, allows me to shutdown/restart/etc, and shows my pidgin status)...this happened after an upgrade from jaunty to karmic; any ideas? what is that application called, and how do i relaunch it? [17:41] so how am I supposed to do it then [17:42] airtonix> I did, but I mean it's just a special problem with broadcom drivers, and as conky uses iwconfig internally to get the wireless info, it needs to be run with sudo otherwise it can't get the info [17:42] apparently it needs to be compiled, and there's no apt-get for it [17:42] !samba [17:42] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[17:45] no [17:45] sheaf, that way you'll only have to run sudo for the particular components of your conky layout that require them, and by using gksudo it means that you'll get a gtk dialog asking for the authentication [17:45] heh [17:45] phew [17:46] ive been trying bash scripts and something called chk-mate for windows [17:46] krdyt: and ? :D [17:46] just running ./make in my folder of this thing I forget the name of [17:46] anope [17:46] since windows does this to a lot of peoples files during diskCHK [17:46] SirTopHat: what are ou trying to build ?

[19:18] sebsebseb: some workaround to use more memory on 32-bit architecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [19:18] how can i get the original 9.10 driver back for my ati 9600 after i discovered that envyng and the binary drivers dont work and after uninstalling these i only seem to have some kind of standard compatible driver, i've installed xserver-xorg-video-ati since then and dont know if i have to activate it or something [19:18] LizardK|ng: good question, not sure, but yes that's a great idea to have a real partition for Ubuntu === wertik_rus is now known as GoGoGo [19:18] LAWL [19:18] !info linux-generic-pae [19:18] LizardK|ng: oh I guess if you don't already have Ext4 for 9.10, well which version are you on? then probably easier to just set up a new partition with that file system [19:18] linux-generic-pae (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel. In component main, is optional.

It would be useful to know though. [19:19] Why do I get a message on boot to enter the password for the default keyring for the network thingy? [19:19] lol? :( [19:19] Some_Person: Try disabling auto login and restart [19:19] sebsebseb, LV{M will install GRUB when it's done; will it be intelligent enough to let me still boot windows, the wubi install of ubuntu, the real install of ubuntu, and the dell diagnostic partition? [19:19] vonnick: I want auto login [19:20] Some_Person: It'll ask you if you wnt the password rememberd [19:20] LVPM [19:20] Some_Person: But it won't do it if you have auto login enabled [19:20] sebsebseb, i'm using 9.04 [19:20] vonnick: Any way around it? [19:20] LizardK|ng: I have read about that convert a Wubi install into a real install program, but I have never used it myself [19:20] Some_Person: Not that I know of :| [19:20] Is thunderbird 3 not in the repos? [19:20] lol there has to be a way to get working drivers back for ati.. but i dont even really know where to start [19:20] sebsebseb, well, i guess i'll see.... it's transferring now [19:20] Machtin: Nope [19:20] I see. [19:21] LizardK|ng: probably better to just set up your own partitions, plus then whilst your at it, you can do a seperate /home :) which can be useful for later on, if you have a reason to re install Ubuntu, or even if you want to distro hop. Easier to set them up whilst installing Ubuntu, rather than afterwoulds. [19:21] hi there i have problem on 9.10 >>> when plug my headphone suppose sound will not heard by speaker > now i have sound from both of them how can stop the speaker [19:21] Can i somehow minimize thunderbird 3 to tray?

[19:23] wolter : try command gnome-alsamixer [19:23] mikobuntu, doens't work either [19:23] Hans_Henrik: maybe Ubuntu works bad on your hardware, but other distros will work better, by the way [19:23] apanda: "lspci | grep -i vga" on commandline [19:23] mikobuntu, i mean, doesn't launch applet [19:23] ty, i'll try [19:24] Hans_Henrik: also people tend to say that the 32bit version is more compatbile with stuff, than the 64bit version [19:24] please help, when command #sudo shutdown -h 15, a message always reminds me how much time left. How to turn it off??? Please === Xjs|moonf is now known as Xjs|moonshine [19:25] freeride: you just want to surpress the message? but still shutdown in 15?

Quite a lot of games from the repo and such installed in to it, no SWAP space, not needed not going to hibernate or anything like that and it's 2GB RAM. even with 1GB that would be the case. anyway and it's got like 6GB free space in the / partition which also has /home in it and hardly anything in it. Linux programs don't take up [19:49] that much space. [19:49] jrib: x failed in the same way. I get a text-mode login that flashes vertically as if the sync was off. The keyboard entry is spotty and I am forced to reboot into recovery mode, delete xorg.conf, and startx. [19:49] jrib, i comment start ... on gdm.conf..

[19:50] sebsebseb, dual boot, but windows is on a separate HD [19:50] Pipi772: you don't have to use gnome, but if you do you can use System -> Administration -> Login Window [19:51] nono, i dont use gnome [19:51] from the console.. [19:51] LizardK|ng: ok well in that case really you want / to be the first partition on there I think, altough where partitions are doesn't matter that much if at all really, as far as I know [19:51] Pipi772: make up your mind? [19:51] module000: BROTHER MFC 440 CN through USB [19:51] damn, noone can tell me how to put the microphone on the speakers?? [19:51] LizardK|ng: then /home as partition 2 and SWAP last [19:51] Hello, does the latest Ubuntu installer (Karmic) offer "encrypt system" option similar to Fedora and OpenSUSE? [19:51] this shouldn't be that difficult! [19:52] rip yes [19:52] okie :) [19:52] Pipi772: whatever window manager you want, run it and read its documentation on how to start programs on login. At gdm, if you click Options, you can select your window manager. Alternatively, create your own xsession [19:52] duncanidaho: that's common according to some threads i'm reading...the workaround is to change udev's rules to create a device node with user-accessible permissiosn instead of the default perms of 600 for your scanner [19:52] LizardK|ng: what you might find though is that the manual installer or gparted, doesn't want to set things up quite like that, for example wanting SWAP as the second partition or something. or maybe for some reason you need to make an extended partition even [19:52] rip: run it and see :P I can't remember if it allows the whole system or just home [19:52] jrib, i dont want a window a manager! im on xinit [19:52] !kde [19:52] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[19:53] LizardK|ng: that reminds me, I like setting things up in gparted first and finnishing off in manual install, but you can do it all in manual install. You need to tell manual install which partition is going to be your / and which is going to be your /home, you need to set the mount point. I also do a tick for format, even though they are new partitions. [19:53] jrib thanks, ill try [19:53] module000: how do I change the permissions [19:54] I don't know what happen with ! ops [19:54] LizardK|ng: oh uhmm I just explained how to do a manual install :) [19:54] LizardK|ng: useing the CD [19:54] duncanidaho: read the link - you need to edit the 90-local.rules file [19:54] rip yes, you need to say no explicite, if you do not want to [19:54] M1TE5H: please don't use it again unless there is an emergency [19:54] ;;;lk [19:54] what means of ! ops commands [19:54] please tell me [19:54] LizardK|ng: if you do the guided install on the CD, you won't get a seperate /home [19:54] M1TE5H: It calls all the channels opers [19:55] ok [19:55] thanks [19:55] anyone know of a gtk frontend to dgen and fceu?

Or how to figure it out? [19:56] LizardK|ng: as for the Dell Utility partition uhmm what's that, a hidden partition or what? [19:56] LizardK|ng: hidden partition, since they didn't give you a CD/DVD so you could re install Windows? [19:58] LizardK|ng: or some drivers and such for the Windows install?

[20:04] what is the best dock for ubuntu, [20:04] LizardK|ng: you end up doing some stuff twice basically if you use gparted first, but that's ok [20:04] sprockets: A lot of people like AWN [20:04] LizardK|ng: I said it probably doesn't really matter, but you probably want SWAP at the end ideally [20:04] !best > sprockets [20:04] sprockets, please see my private message [20:04] Catalin_: you need to learn about sed and find. Find some examples and understand them.

[20:05] jrib if I give you the code that I need to remove can you give me the exact command ? [20:06] how can I copy songs from a CD to my computer in MP3 format? [20:06] LizardK|ng: ,because a label is not needed, and stick with Ext3 why? [20:06] raul_: sound juicer [20:06] kermit thanks [20:06] raul_: Grip [20:06] LizardK|ng: you can do a label if you really want sure, but I woudn't [20:06] raul_, soundjuicer but i suggest you to considere the ogg formet [20:06] sebsebseb, i was reading ext4 still isn;t fully stable and sometimes data is lost when it crashes [20:06] Catalin_: create some test files so you can experiment. Here is how to delete "FOO" in a file named FILE: sed -i 's/FOO//g' FILE [20:06] which one is much better? Grip or sound juicer? [20:07] LizardK|ng: oh right that ok [20:07] raul_, sj is easyer and more integreated [20:07] LizardK|ng: yes I read something like that myself hmm [20:07] ok thx [20:07] Catalin_: quick hint: find /startdirectory -name "*.php" | xargs grep -i [20:07] LizardK|ng: 9.04 I had no issues with Ext4, even though that's a version where issues with Ext4 are more likely than with 9.10 [20:08] LizardK|ng: you should be backing up data else where anyway, hard disks can just fail [20:08] Catalin_: that'll search every *.php file found for [20:08] During bootup of the liveCD, after loading the kernel the CD drive spins down and stops, and the booting process practically crawls to a halt.

When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN, it always gets stuck at the mic. It freezes. I have no problems recording sound with Sound Recorder. Could it be because I installed aMSN 0.98 from an autopackage, and the configs don't match? [20:08] LizardK|ng: if your a bit worried though about losing data from the computer, well that's ok to do /home in Ext3, but you should still do / in Ext4 really [20:08] jeansch thanks [20:08] Hello! the EDITOR and VISUAL variables seems to be ignored i keep getting nano as default editor, why is this? [20:08] some sort of "make the CD drive more random access" mode that fails for cheap drives... [20:08] ocean_: and how do I automaticly remove the [20:09] doddo: default editor where?

Can anyone help? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png [20:09] doddo: that shouldn't be the case, but try: update-alternatives --config editor (this is system wide) [20:09] sebsebseb, what advantage does ext4 have over 2? === TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple [20:09] Catalin_: like jrib told. You have to read up on the various commands and compose the complete command so that'll fit your needs [20:09] LizardK|ng: / in 9.04 really does speed bot up, shut down, and automatic disk checking up, I did a test Ext3 and Ext4 in 9.10, didn't seem to make a difference, I have a feeling that it might make quite a difference though for 10.04 the next one. [20:10] why does xchat not have a nicklist by default? can i get one easily? :) [20:10] LizardK|ng: well the automatic disk checking in 9.10 will be faster of course I expect, but I didn't test that. [20:10] sebsebseb, gparted just gave e an error that the kernel couldn;t reload the partition table [20:10] hello, I know this isn't a particularly ubuntuish question but.. does anyone know of a printable image showing the most well known OSS software (name+logo or such) like ubuntu, openoffice, gimp, dia, staruml, etc? [20:10] jrib: hmm why do I need to do that one ? This one should work for example: EDITOR=vim sudo visudo [20:10] doddo: have you checked /etc/alternatives/? update-alternatives --list editor should be of assistance. [20:10] LizardK|ng: it's a blank hard disk yes? === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [20:11] doddo: erm, by "everywhere" did you mean "everywhere with sudo"? sudo is picky about environment variables :) [20:11] sebsebseb, now it is, yes :) [20:11] LizardK|ng: ok you need to make a new partition table then [20:11] how do i take xubuntu off of a computer [20:11] LizardK|ng: the partitions have to go some where [20:11] jrib: nah not only sudo but also programs liek the editor CVS chooses per default [20:11] plustax: looks like your sound settings to me [20:12] sebsebseb, it made / but didn;t format it so it's formatting now and will then create /home and swap [20:12] plustax: what do you have on the sound tab in advanced settings?

[20:13] plustax: switch off 'use jack' and change device to 'hw:0,0' [20:13] synx: =) Im not used o having to go through al these steps just to choose a default editor for my user... [20:14] hy. [20:14] ok guys, back again trying to get my digital tablet working. (9.10 broke it, worked great in 9.04) Tablet is seen (dmesg), and can move the cursor in X, but cannot click anything. Followed a few guides without any success. [20:14] LizardK|ng: another idea could be this, make an extra data partition, in Ext4, that you could then just use later on as a Ext4 /home and then you can re size that one after deleting the Ext3 or something. However it seems when it comes to data the file systems don't really matter that much, as long as you don't get data loss from them of course, and as long as you don't have really massive files. [20:14] plustax: assuming you have only one sound device, if you have more than one - like a headset, we may need to change it to something else [20:14] jrib: cvs commit (i get the nano although both EDITOR and VISUAL is set to vim) [20:14] well, hard drive is cheap and plentiful, why not pick an amount you'll never actually need, but at the same time, never miss having either? [20:14] I just hope I'm never really swapping that much is all [20:14] plustax: interesting theme you have there by the way :) [20:14] doddo: sorry to disappoint... /etc/alternatives is for the default editor for the computer. Not sure why visudo wouldn't use EDITOR... oh wait [20:15] doddo: don't do "sudo visudo". Just visudo by itself. [20:15] sebsebseb, how big is really massive? i may end up with files of several GB [20:15] sudo resets the environment, clearing EDITOR most likely. [20:15] LizardK|ng: 100's of GB or more [20:15] popey looks good [20:15] now question [20:15] Will it record sound coming from my songbird? [20:15] I dont want it to record sound from my speakers. [20:15] sebsebseb, ok, not that big probably. gparted is done, so now i boot with the ubuntu cd and select manual install? [20:15] plustax: i dont know, never do that [20:15] doddo: EDITOR=vim cvs commit does not use vim? [20:15] available NOD32 LINUX beta with real time protection [20:16] plustax: probably not [20:16] Well I have a question then. What can I use to put a song to a desktop video I record? [20:16] sebsebseb, i have installed linux before, back in the days before graphical installers and whatnot, so i should be ok with setting it up [20:16] jrib: not as expected :) [20:16] Something nice and easy to use [20:16] popey ^^ [20:16] plustax: pitivi [20:16] LizardK|ng: Ext4 is suppoused to be able to deal with much bigger files than Ext3 and better, but then that stuff about how a big file might get currupted on it hmm. Also people say that XFS has the proper advantages of Ext4, plus that's been around much longer. [20:17] sebsebseb, i never set up GRUB before, it was LILO back then :) [20:17] hey guys, for a FS with maximum data safety/robustness, forget about performance. is it better to use ext3 or ext4? or any other FS good for a backup partition? [20:17] doddo: don't know, I don't have any cvs repositories but at least with bzr it seems to work fine, EDITOR=nano bzr ci uses nano [20:17] LizardK|ng: well I guess your not setting up Grub now either then, since 9.10 uses Grub 2, which is a complete rewrite of Grub, and according to some people not as good. [20:17] jrib: OK but does EDITOR=vim bzr ci use nano aswel ? [20:18] nod32 linux working ubuntu desktop and server [20:18] sebsebseb, i'm installing 9.04 [20:18] Can someone help me get my mic working? When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN, it always gets stuck at the mic. It freezes. I have no problems recording sound with Sound Recorder. Could it be because I installed aMSN 0.98 from an autopackage, and the configs don't match? [20:18] LizardK|ng: oh [20:18] yeah, grub2 is buggy atm. [20:18] LizardK|ng: I thought it was 9.10 hmm [20:18] and doesn't work with raid (dmraid) either [20:18] cdocbo: what bugs specifically? [20:18] sebsebseb, i have 9.10 on a laptop and wish i could go back to 9.04 [20:18] ^^ [20:18] LizardK|ng: ok good job Ext3 is done for the /home then [20:18] doddo: well my default EDITOR is vim, so I figured I would test with nano. To answer your question, yes: EDITOR=vim bzr ci uses vim [20:19] nano is nice because it's so easy to use, no CS degree needed :) [20:19] doddo: do you have CVSEDITOR set? [20:19] LizardK|ng: you will get some proper advantages of using Ext4 in 9.04 for /, oh and turning on the text boot up is :) however since the kernel and such in 9.04, it's not properly stable, but I never had issues. [20:19] Flash videos on my laptop slow down my entire computer in ubuntu. The same isn't true for Windows on the same laptop. Is there any way to speed up flash? [20:20] bwallen, are you using the binary drivers? [20:20] doddo: actually, does calling « vim » by itself work for you? [20:20] bwallen yeah, join the throngs of us and right email to adobe [20:20] I tend to use youtube-dl, then use mplayer to play the downloaded video. Doesn't work for non-youtube, of course [20:20] sebsebseb, thanks for your help; i'll be back when the install is done and xchat is installed, assuming all goes well! [20:20] bwallen outside of that, not a whole lot can be done I dont thing :( [20:20] cdocbo: no, the binary ati driver doesn't support my chipset anymore.

[20:21] bwallen, sorry, don't know how well the flgrx/etc driver runs for your card, but you might see if you can use it over the X11 default [20:21] bwallen, could be worth looking into; getting solid direct rendering support helps a lot [20:21] doddo: strange [20:22] jrib: aye! =) [20:22] hello [20:22] yo yo yo [20:23] starcannon: hah. Wish I could say the same. Those proprietary modules don't work worth a &(@% on my setup.

[20:31] anyone knows how to create a custom shorcut for my wm to activate window demanding attention? [20:31] apanda: didn't really know there was open source driver for ATI or whatever, but yeah there's some sort of open source graphics card support, for Nivida and what not. ,but those aren't as good as the driver from the actsaul companys [20:32] sameepreturns: is it a laptop? [20:32] apanda: If you want proper ATI card support, well you won't get it from an open source driver at this time. [20:32] the problem is that the company (ati) removes support for older cards from the current drivers.. [20:33] and the older drivers are incompatible with the current X [20:33] please pv me I'm going out for a second [20:33] apanda: I have read something like that before on IRC, and yes ATI suck basicalley [20:33] apanda: Nivida are good [20:33] Hi ! === Toxic is now known as Guest52700 [20:33] apanda: well each version of Ubuntu gets a differnet version of xorg [20:33] apanda: so maybe the one in 9.04 wil work, or maybe the one in 8.10, but sadly that release will run out of support at the time 10.04 comes out, or around that time [20:34] <`mOOse`> so just for future reference, what ARE good vid cards to look at when running ubuntu?

[20:36] apanda: By the way newer is not always better, in certain ways 8.04 is actsualley better than 9.10. Also with Ubuntu it's about what releases are still supported, not what is the latest. [20:37] h00k? [20:37] sebsebseb: +1 [20:37] ok i didnt know that :) 9.10 is my first one ;) [20:38] looking for the x11vnc vnc-java configuration file [20:38] has anybody had that Adobe Reader -freeze- prob with Karmic? [20:39] apanda: maybe your card will work better in 9.04, but that runs out of support in October or early November or something === Barbiegentooer_ is now known as Tina- [20:39] ActionParsnip1: indeed :) [20:40] hey yo [20:40] torax: launch it from a terminal. when it freezes you will get intelligent output [20:40] hi; trying to compile a package from launchpad; there are a .tar.gz (the main source), but also .diff.gz (a patch for a newer version / update) but also a .dsc file; what's that last one good for? [20:40] torax: you can then websearch the output for guides === heterosa1kari is now known as heterosankari [20:40] x11vnc vnc-java configuration file is where? help [20:41] ActionParsnip1: cool thnx [20:41] sebsebseb i'll probably try 8.04 because i have read that the 9600 driver works there and it's the current LTS version [20:41] apanda: ok well here's a good tip when it comes to getting ISO's [20:41] hi [20:42] <`mOOse`> or uninstall it and install foxit ;-) [20:42] apanda: use the torrent and it will probably be fine the download, get it from HTTP/FTP great idea to md5sum/sha1sum your ISO before burning the contents to CD, to make sure you have a good download [20:42] apanda: or do both checks if you really want even [20:42] apanda: most of the time they download fine, but not always [20:43] !md5sum | apanda [20:43] apanda: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:43] usually it works ok with ftp clients from my experience, but thanks for the tipp, md5sum cant be bad :) [20:43] Anyone here use dansguardian? [20:43] sebsebseb: BitTorrent checks anyway right? [20:43] torrent autochecks everything it downloads [20:43] I am using convert command to convert a jpeg to pdf, but the result quality is low even there is not decrease in the size ?! [20:44] torrent autochecks in small parts even :) [20:44] Hillshum: As far as I know yeah, or it depends on client, well depending on client a download check can be run manualley. [20:44] seb thanks, i actually have an md5 (and sha1) shell extension installed in windows [20:44] apanda: well they are much easier to check in a Linux distro === 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://ubuntu.pastebin.com | Karmic is released! http://www.ubuntu.com/download & http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [20:45] x11vnc vnc-java help anyone? [20:45] apanda: open the terminal make sure your in the folder of the ISO if not CD in to it, then md5sum or sha1sum namegoeshere.iso get the code and compare it, so with 8.04 to the codes found in the list of files here http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 [20:46] apanda: the ISO is also in that list of files [20:47] yes ty.. my only problem with installing from an iso atm is that i'm running 9.10 from the wubi install because i couldnt repartition my harddrive because it's full ;) === ersoy is now known as Ersoy [20:47] apanda: oh right, well you can burn the CD using wubi as far as I know [20:48] anyone ever try to install ubuntu on a Palm Treo 650? Or know if it can be done? [20:48] hello I have setup a host file with extensive sites to block. unfortunately karmic seems to be ignoring the hosts file...anyone know why [20:48] apanda: assuming you also have a burner and a CD to burn on to of course [20:48] what is the lightest antivirus? [20:48] apanda: you could burn the ISO to a DVD, but that would be a waste of one really. In the long run it is better to use real partitions instead of Wubi. [20:48] !antivirus | reign2 [20:48] reign2: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [20:48] and by lightest I mean with the smallest memory/cpu footprint [20:49] reign2: clamav is small [20:49] losha: So I figured out my trouble lol [20:49] yes i do, but that doesnt give me harddrive to partition :) it's one 100% ntfs partition with data to keep.. and i dont have a dvd writer (or even reader) in this pc :) [20:49] ActionParsnip1: I was to slow, well messing the factoid up a bit or whatever [20:49] but thats for me to figure out how to backup xx gb without ;) [20:49] reign2: you don't need anti virus in Desktop Linux at this time, unless for exaple you got an email server and so your scanning for Windows viruses [20:49] reign2: or you have a tinfoil hat collection [20:50] ActionParsnip1: what? [20:50] sebsebseb: I do alot of filesharing with my windows boxes [20:50] VCoolio: it is a summary of the contents of the source code, generated from debian/control in the source directory, and is used when unpacking the package with dpkg-source, from: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-build.en.html [20:50] hi, i messed up my sound [20:50] is there a way to do a copy that validates the result with a checksum or something like that? [20:50] it used to work with both pulseaudio and alsa, i removed pulseaudio to use alsa, now i want pulse back [20:50] sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil_hat [20:52] ActionParsnip1: ok sure, but I don't get the joke [20:52] x11vnc vnc-java .... its working for inside network tho I want the configuration file so I can give it my domain/dns/host? [20:53] I want to use sun jdk with netbeans how to do it [20:53] sebsebseb: its a synonym for super paranoia, kinda like installing antivirus on a system with no web access which will never have any extra software added to it, "just incase" [20:53] apparle: just out of curiosity, why? [20:53] ActionParsnip1: ah ha now I understand, about you put that, and I started reading the link properly [20:53] ActionParsnip1: after you put that above === yy is now known as Guest20607 [20:54] sebsebseb: they're all gonna get you ;) [20:54] tarzeau: coz I don't understand the difference between openjdk and sun jdk.... and I have never used openjdk [20:54] ARGGGH! [20:54] how do I change the program that I assign keyboard shortcuts to? [20:55] White_pelican: its in the preferences or administration menu if your using stock ubuntu [20:56] pulseaudio is not reading my sound card === mr_engineer is now known as wolter [20:56] Is there a way to create a symlink that acts as a union of two directories? [20:57] DaveS, union of two directories? [20:57] aeon-ltd, which options under preferences or administration? I'm new to gnome [20:57] DaveS: you can create a folder with 2 symlinks to both folders [20:57] sebsebseb, the disc i thought was my 9.04 install was blank, and so i burned the iso on it, but it got an error, but i booted it anyway and it didn't work, so now i have to reburn it. I have so few CD-R's thinking that i'd never need them and could always use DVD-Rs [20:57] the liveCD stops booting with sense errors mentioning sr0 and "Timeout on logical unit" [20:58] action: but that would act like a sub-folder, right? [20:58] I tried it with noapic and acpi=off and all the F6 options checked. [20:58] Hello, I had Jaunty running fine on my Compaq Presario laptop, but after upgrading to Karmic wireless sometimes dies (the light continually blinks blue/amber/blue/amber) and when I try to shut it down, I have to physically shut it off, because during the shutdown/reboot process it repeats this error over and over: b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000400, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000 [20:58] !md5sum | LizardK|ng [20:58] LizardK|ng: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:58] grub loads fine, but once the kernel is loaded it does something that causes the CD drive to spin down and stop responding. [20:58] LizardK|ng: I just told someone else how to do that in Ubuntu [20:58] synx: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [20:58] synx: did you run the cd verifier? [20:58] well i reburned it and it didn;t get any errors [20:59] LizardK|ng: check the ISO is a good download, before burning [20:59] ActionParsnip1: uh, seeing as I got it from a trusted source no. I'll go check that really quick... [20:59] synx: doesnt matter if its "from a trusted source" [20:59] can I tell os do by default create files with 660 instead 600 but for one directory (and it's subdirs)? [20:59] synx: the data can be garbaged in transit [20:59] sebsebseb, it is, i used it in 3 different computers; its the burn that was bad [20:59] synx: the source has nothing to do with it [21:00] LizardK|ng: ok do a new burn then, burn a bit slower if your getting problems [21:00] ActionParsnip1: bittorrent uses an info hash to verify that the data hasn't been corrupted. [21:00] synx: its still good practice to test it [21:00] sebsebseb, only options for speed were max and 48x so i did 48x this time [21:00] what's the apt-get command to completely wipe out an installed package? is it apt-get remove --purge ? [21:00] ActionParsnip1: yeah yeah, just lemme track down where that md5 is. [21:00] synx: you should also run the cd verifier so you know what you have is a good CD [21:00] Dantonic: yes, it's exactly that. [21:01] cd verifier? [21:01] LjL, ok thanks [21:01] synx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [21:01] ah thanx [21:01] hello all, i've searched on google for an opensource gps navigation software and all I came upon was a project called open tracker. Anyone know of any opensource gps navigation app? [21:01] Daniel_G, dpkg --purge [21:01] crap, some files were corrupted... i only have one 700 mb CD-R left [21:02] isn't GPS navigation mostly about data rather than software? [21:02] Hi when trying to install grub on a mdraid1 i get an error see pastebin: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m430fa907 [21:02] does this "cd verifier" just basically go {dd if=/dev/sr0 | md5sum -}? [21:02] LizardK|ng: check that the ISO is good! [21:02] LizardK|ng: burn slow, all burning software has speed settings, the default is max [21:02] hello...having a few issues wit getting irw to work right in 9.10 any ideas...irw returns a no such file or directory [21:02] The .iso file is good! [21:03] synx: Good! [21:03] synx: cool, now boot to the CD and on the very first screen run the cd verifier [21:03] now I just need to figure out how to check the CD. I guess cmp .iso /dev/sr0 would do the trick. [21:03] Anybody use mdraid as a bootable root with Karmic that can assist? [21:04] i cant seem to run exe files? [21:05] oh, that's where it is? Sure thing ActionParsnip1 [21:05] chazroberts: What file are you tryng to run? [21:05] swgsetup [21:05] chaz: do you mean exe files as in non-linux binaries? [21:05] im not sure [21:05] dottedquad: JOSM works pretty good for maps. Since it's opensource, I think you could add the logic to read GPS coordinates fairly easy. (if you can code) [21:05] synx: then you know the burner has not faultered or jittered and screwed the burn [21:05] sebsebseb, so i do md5sum ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso and compare it to what's on the website? [21:05] chazroberts: what is swg setup? [21:05] michLinuxGuy: Thank YOU [21:05] star wars galaxies [21:05] LizardK|ng: yes as long as you have the ISO saved in home [21:06] LizardK|ng: otherwise you can cd into the folder, or copy/cut it into home and do it [21:06] ActionParsnip1: I can also just {cmp .iso /dev/sr0} and if it fails only on EOF on the .iso then it's good. [21:06] DaveS: you can run exes in ubuntu , i have they were exe's programmed in c with gtk+, so it was a linux made program [21:06] sebsebseb, does md5sum /dev/cdrom [21:06] chazroberts: You'd need Wine, but I'm not sure Galaxies works on Linux [21:06] work? [21:06] LizardK|ng: then the code you want is in these lists of files http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04 [21:06] Linux: .exe is just a file extension, that's why I asked if it was a linux binary [21:06] LizardK|ng: don't think so [21:06] LizardK|ng: it's for checking an ISO just like sha1sum is [21:07] how do i get wine?

[21:08] dunno what though [21:09] hey all [21:09] i try grep foo * . although i should get some results, i get nothing at all [21:10] DaveS: a tip: you can use completion for nicks - makes it a lot easier :-) [21:10] ciao [21:10] is was browsing, and suddenly the screen suddenly popped over to the boot screen and then the login-screen. i logged in and all programs were closed, i started them again and it didn't take much time at all to start them up. anyone know what the fuck happened? [21:10] sebsebseb, md5sum /dev/cdrom and md5sum /media/Media/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso both match the md5sum from the website, so it should work ok, yes?

[22:01] LAWL [22:01] Obamacide, normal 9.10, dual boot [22:01] ubuntic1: if you only have one dvd device, I don't think it's possible. You need a distro that never refers to the dvd device after it boots, like knoppic with the 'toram' boot parameter.... [22:01] Anyone use monit? If so, have you installed from src or using aptitude? [22:01] hi forceflow: jes but the cd is busy, brasero couldn't find any cd [22:01] it only loading and loading... this command: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" [22:02] hello [22:02] ango: do the commands at this link http://if5.com.br/2009/12/04/tutorial-instalando-flash-64bits-no-ubuntu/ [22:02] how much minimum hd space would you give? Also need I worry about grub2 if this is a fresh install of 9.10???? [22:02] ubuntic1: knoppic -> knoppix [22:03] anyone got a solution for very slow usb write speed after some time? like, it's fast until 25% and then it starts getting horribly slow. mount -o async,remount doesn't work for that device. -o flush didn't help [22:03] Obamacide, 30GB is more than enough, 10 GB should be fine too. Whats wrong with grub2? [22:03] i need some assistance folks, my touchpad is always haywire on ubuntu... im running karmic, with an alps touchpad using (i think) synaptics module... it's often difficult to use my touchpad it sticks, and is otherwise just crazy to use... occasionally there is suddenly two vertical scroll areas, one right smack in the middle of the pad, and one on the right edge where its supposed to be... [22:03] losha: right, but i have only ubuntu right now? I wont [22:04] mike_______: it's probably actually writing the data when it gets slow [22:04] mike_______: I' had those problems too.. haven't really seen it happen lately though [22:04] hey guys, does anyone know why none of my startup programs are running?

[22:04] mike_______: the kernel buffers data for some time so you can copy, say, 200 MB in a few seconds and then wait a minute for it to actually go into the thing. [22:04] mike_______: I used to try moving say.. a 600 MB iso file and after 300MB or so it just kind of stalled and never finished [22:04] losha: to know if burning is possible under a livesystem? [22:04] Its a clean install of netbook remix [22:04] Hello everyone, I'm going to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid, do I need to create a backup or will I have all my data after the upgrade? [22:05] ubuntic1: then I think you have to install to hard drive from the live cd, *then* you can boot from disk and burn to cd/dvd [22:05] alankila: it takes way less time to copy the same data to the same device on windows [22:05] kacm88: always create a backup.. things can go wrong [22:05] is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm? [22:05] mike_______: ok. Maybe something is actually wrong with it, then. [22:05] the short answer is ALWAYS BACKUP....regardless [22:05] thought so, thank you so much! [22:05] well i have installed the flash plugin, but i got some bored trouble with firefox, some webpages just open fast, some don't open at all, sry my bad grammar [22:05] Obamacide, /boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:06] ango: pvt please [22:06] you mean edit the grub.cfg (My problem is that I dont know what to put in there)....the 9.04 derivative starts to boot then I get this warning about something having been possibly renames etc. [22:06] ubuntic1: If you have *two* cd-roms, you can burn from the live-cd on the unused one.

[22:11] forceflow: gentoo [22:11] CShadowRun, the UNR interface is heavy on the graphics, makes the whole thing slow when your video card is not up to it [22:12] UNR also needs more RAM then normal ubuntu [22:12] trijntje: the dell netbooks are designed to run unr... [22:12] and unr was designed to run on the dell netbooks [22:12] Who knows about GPG key? [22:12] isn't UNR expected to use less ram since it has a simpler interface and the target are less capable netbooks ? [22:12] CShadowRun, I dont know that, just sharing my UNR/netboox experience ;) [22:14] joaopinto, UNR needs 512 RAM ;) [22:14] EsatYuce: what about it? is there a real question coming after this? [22:14] Slart, : yes it is about Launchpad key [22:15] trijntje, so does Ubuntu, that doesn't invalidate my points, I don't see any tecnhical reason for UNR to use more RAM than a regular Ubuntu desktop [22:15] joaopinto, minimum requirement for normal ubuntu is 256.

[22:38] Flannel is so 90s, I'm going to ubuntu-offtopic [22:39] anyone want to discuss go there #ubuntu-offtopic [22:39] ManBearPig: Can you please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` [22:39] ManBearPig: In your place, I would do a from-scratch install of 9.10 from live-cd, since your system seems to be a mess... [22:40] http://i45.tinypic.com/23i8qdg.png <-- for some reason, I cannot use disk utility to remove this 1KB partition and do anything with the rest of my HDD.. not sure what to do [22:40] man bear pin try to down load a new live cd and try a freash start [22:40] Hello, we're running Ubuntu 9.10 Server on a VM and the system clock is ticking roughly more than thrice as fast as it should [22:40] i am using ver 8.04, is there a utility to check the health of the hard drive? [22:40] any ideas? [22:40] badp: vm settings? [22:40] IOAPIC-related? [22:41] Guest50176: fsck [22:42] badp: try smartmontools [22:42] Guest50176: as someone else said. gsmartmontools. gsmartctl is a good gui http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/Downloads but for 8.04 you'll have to compile it yourself [22:43] is there some application I can use to check if some of my partitions are bad? [22:43] cr0bar: have you tried gparted? [22:43] any one know how i can get back track installed in my linux [22:43] just says no partitions, lol [22:43] hacker_: back track is a distro... [22:43] but disk utility shows my swap, ubuntu and my NTFS volume with XP [22:43] cr0bar: what says no partitions? [22:43] i have an external hdd that keeps unmounting after a certain period of time, how can i make it stay mounted? [22:44] forceflow: VMware 1.0.8, 256 MiB memory, a mouse, one processor, x64 [22:44] bllz: one second [22:44] kool [22:44] gparted just says my whole drive is "unallocated" [22:44] can we run it in vm mode [22:44] badp: no idea ... [22:45] but I've loaded ubuntu fine [22:45] hacker_: ask in #remote-exploit but change your nick before going in there [22:45] cr0bar: okay... so...? lol i'm not sure what the problem is. Can you not create partitions on the drive? [22:45] c1h23r456i78910: add it to fstab [22:45] I'll finish filling in a bug against the kernel then [22:45] where is xorg.conf file in Karmic Koala? [22:45] bllz: http://i45.tinypic.com/23i8qdg.png [22:45] k [22:45] ctmjr: that's some of the best advice i've seen in a while [22:45] DasEil : in terminal? how do i do that [22:45] wawan: please do not pm me. smartmontools should be in the repositories. Search for it in synaptic [22:45] c1h23r456i78910: and maybe check hdparm for it's spin down behaviour [22:45] the 1KB partition I can't seem to remove, nor do anything with the space afterwards [22:45] c1h23r456i78910: sudo fdisk -l [22:46] cr0bar: that's normal [22:46] c1h23r456i78910: devicename ? [22:46] that's your extended partition space [22:46] hey i have a problem , i just installed ubunutu on my computer r should i say a fresh install and it only happens when im running chrome but my computer will just log off [22:46] hmm, I can't create anything in the free space, though [22:46] cr0bar; again, that's normal [22:46] DaSEil : it gave me a list of devices under /dev [22:46] cr0bar: has to do with how you create logical partitions [22:47] where is xorg.conf file in Karmic Koala? [22:47] hi all [22:47] bllz: ah, I used the livecd I think at the time to create the partitions - originally where the extended partiton is, was a primary NTFS one [22:47] is there a way to in stall back track in linux [22:47] c1h23r456i78910: which is the external ? [22:48] lolo88: backtrack is a linux distro [22:48] I then used disk utility in ubuntu to delete that and try creating two extended ones, for messing with other distros [22:48] cr0bar: it's possible, but any time you have extended partitioning you're going to end up with that [22:48] cistle: if any then in /etc/X11 [22:48] so don't worry about it [22:48] er, one extended but more inside [22:48] DasEil : its mounted as /media/disk [22:48] ubuntic1: still there? [22:48] guyz [22:48] so do i use get apt \ [22:48] losha: jes here i am [22:48] cr0bar: right [22:48] c1h23r456i78910: thats the mountpoint, which device ? [22:49] the 64bit flash player has a bug in it has it been fixed yet ? [22:49] i do no [22:49] ubuntic1: I found this, but it's hella complicated: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM\ [22:49] so can anyone help me figure out when when im running chrome browser ubuntu kicks me out and i have to log back in [22:49] bllz: what confused me a little, was when I tried the sabayon livecd and tried installing it, it just said the whole drive was unreadable [22:49] cr0bar: it's magic and pixie dust necessary for the partitioning of your drive [22:49] its like a mini crash [22:49] !backtrack | lolo88 [22:49] lolo88: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

[22:50] thanks you very much [22:50] cr0bar: as for the pixie dust... you'll have to ask a programmer =) [22:50] bllz: maybe.. I don't have other distros lying around right now, and right now I'm using my phone tethered via BT to connect, so not sure if I can download another [22:50] most people seem to dislike the pc speaker, and there are many tips to disable it. But I want it to work , and in 9.10 it doesn't work eveen if the module pcspkr is enabled. Why ? [22:50] <_empty> Hello, how do I choose what soundcard to use?

[23:26] DasEi1, it's a different computer than i'm chatting on [23:27] erqzor___: yup - some cool things built on top of it too - some very clever backup tools that can do multiple machines/incremental backups via use of hardlinks [23:27] yeah u noob using backports fucking noob [23:27] hey watch your language [23:27] LizardK|ng: k, can you boot a live cd on that and come back in ?

[23:30] Segmentation fault [23:30] the fault has occurred [23:30] linxeh, Ohh, I mounted it via ssh. [23:30] when i run vlc from terminal [23:30] vlc normally [23:30] ntemis: filename wont work like that, rename it or set correct spaces [23:30] hello all i am new to IRC [23:30] is for irc [23:30] !hi | ankit_babbar [23:30] ankit_babbar: 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! [23:31] linxeh, sftp. [23:31] LaConfusedGuy, do you make any sense? [23:31] DasEi1: when i run vlc from terminal i get Segmentation fault [23:31] after that doesnt make sense [23:31] MajorPayne: you could mount it via the command line, automount, or fstab then I guess [23:31] dressed the fault has occurred [23:31] hi [23:31] linxeh, I didn't think that worked over ssh. [23:31] When I boot my computer with LTSP, when I log in it goes back to the login screen. I get errors in the syslog. Those errors are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/ [23:31] ssh is super slow to connect [23:31] linxeh, it it does, that would be ideal. [23:32] im getting real GRRRRR .....b/c i installed ubuntu on a older computer and it worked and now im trying to put it on a newer computer than the other and it wont install b/c of the damn keyboard......anyone please [23:32] Hi Dasie [23:32] hi ankit_babbar [23:32] vinpan: it means that whatever it said before that isnt supported in every bit of parted [23:32] hi La Confused guy [23:32] is supported looks like they aptana has an eclipse plugin [23:32] LaConfusedGuy: this channel is for ubuntu support - can you please limit the conversation to that [23:32] so is anyone knowledgeable about monitor recognition issues? [23:32] losha: So I figured out my trouble lol [23:32] lol [23:32] the better support ikonia [23:32] networking issues with xbmc here [23:32] LaConfusedGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:32] so i cant install it on this computer then that i have to try other linux right [23:32] LaConfusedGuy: ubuntu suport only please [23:32] LizardK|ng: that'll be to hard to pull the info from/ to another machine, either you study it yourself then or we can have a look together, that's little hairy this way [23:32] ikonia: g+s does not work. perhaps sshfs and/or umask setting will work [23:32] an ide project comes together [23:33] okay! update, my keyboard input goes to the terminal [23:33] in wine [23:33] When I boot my computer with LTSP, when I log in it goes back to the login screen. I get errors in the syslog. Those errors are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343699/ [23:33] LimCore: interesting - umask is something very different, did the files not get owned by the same person as the directory owner ? [23:33] Hi all, I have tried both xubuntu and ubuntu on my server, but neither seems to be able to support my monitor for > 640x400 resolution. I know it is a higher-res monitor though. Am I missing a driver or what? [23:33] recap: Full screen WINE KOTOR2, keyboard input doesn't work for the game, just goes straight to the terminal which it was ran in [23:33] is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm? [23:33] g2g, if you have an answer reply to my thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1350832 [23:33] so that means it wont install on that computer right? [23:33] hi i installed karmic with an old home partition but i can't get all my users what can i do? [23:33] We are group of student of college and have been working on ubuntu since past year, we wish to setup a Private mirror can any one help [23:34] DasEi1, so you don't want to help me unless you can see my fstab? if you saw it and thought it looked fine, what would you suggest i try next to repair grub? [23:34] !mirror | ankit_babbar [23:34] ankit_babbar: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:34] ankit_babbar: apt-mirror is all you need [23:34] ankit_babbar: See the wiki page linked. [23:34] ikonia: No. [23:34] ankit_babbar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors [23:34] ankit_babbar: how to become a mirror is documented there [23:34] I thought that Netbook Remix was supposed to come with skype? [23:34] Anybody? [23:34] jpds: oh ? [23:34] vinpan: no, it doesnt mean that at all [23:34] I can't find it anywhere [23:35] ikonia: rsync is preferred, always. [23:35] And it is not in the repositories [23:35] but will it be able to handle all versions 8.04 onwards [23:35] apt-mirror [23:35] ankit_babbar: rsync should be fine. [23:35] ikonia: you might need to use fdisk rather than parted, thats all. and its likely all distros will hvae the same issue anyway [23:35] anybody get my issue? [23:35] ankit_babbar: See that page and the /Scripts page too. [23:35] if I had drive sda and sdb mounted as a raid device, would this affect drive sdc's name? [23:35] jpds: yup, don't see a problem with rsync over apt-mirror, no problem with that [23:35] would it be remapped? [23:35] linxeh: I've not got a problem with disks [23:35] Can anyone link me to a page that tells me how to add the other repositories? Like non free? [23:35] theman: do not think so [23:36] !repositories [23:36] ikonia: sorry, that was meant to be vinpan [23:36] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:36] hi [23:36] i'm using wine to stream some video, but the server's domain is resolved to be 127.12.34.56 i've hostname -i gives me 192.168.1.64 already. does anyone know why? [23:36] ikonia: I didnt press v hard enough :p [23:36] but need to know whats better rsync or apt-mirror [23:36] linxeh, Thanks for the help. I should have though of mount myself. I will look into either sshfs or NFS later. This will do for now. Bye. [23:36] linxeh: don't worry [23:37] i have an home partition and installed karmic, how can i recover all my users? [23:37] ankit_babbar: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubumirror-devs/ubumirror/trunk [23:37] ankit_babbar: jpds seems pretty convinced over rsync, so that seems solid advice [23:37] MajorPayne: ok good luck - sshfs will work quite easily for you :) [23:37] erUSUL: I can't seem to figure this out though: I'm trying to install from an image located in sdc1 to the raid device on md0 (from the other two drives). The installation starts up fine, but once the drives are mounted, the installation program seems to be no longer able to read from the image and therefore cannont continue with package installation? === |_ocke is now known as brebnebrebnebre [23:38] ankit_babbar: Just pick a local rsync mirror from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors and sync away. [23:38] theman: ... never tried such a thing. dunno maybe the image get umounted for some reason? [23:39] erUSUL: I don't think the image ever is mounted... as naive as it may sound, I think it's being used "directly" [23:39] test [23:39] from xchat [23:39] lalala [23:39] it worked [23:39] theman: so how are you booting into it? or using it to install ? [23:40] should grub be installed on the first hard drive, or is that not necessary? which partition should be marked active? [23:40] [15:39] test [23:40] [15:39] from xchat [23:40] [15:39] lalala [23:40] hi everyone.. can GRUB be installed without having to install a distro? [23:40] yes [23:40] linxeh: boot sector of what ever drive you boot from [23:40] transfers to my USB thumb drive start fast and then chug to the point where a 700MB file takes 20-30 minutes to copy. anyone else have this problem? [23:40] LizardK|ng: it should be installed in the hd that its set to boot in the bios (hd0) for grub [23:40] LizardK|ng: dualbooting ? [23:40] Rsync will be d best option? you all feel ... [23:40] jiggaboojonez: why would you want grub without an OS ? [23:40] ikonia: ;-) [23:41] is there anything like easy ubuntu anymore? [23:41] ikonia: i want grub to boot just xp. [23:41] any ideas? [23:41] linxeh: honestly.....sorry, typo [23:41] Gentoon: ubuntu is easy... [23:41] I just wanna add the repository that has skype... [23:41] so, I know this isn't the right place for this but I'm building a computer and there's an ?AAFP" pin connection on my motherboard that looks like it fits both HD Audtio and AC97. Does it really support both? [23:41] jiggaboojonez: that makes no sense, as grub will load ntldr, if you have no other OS on the machine installing grub is pointless [23:41] DasEi1, yes, i have a windows install on sda1 and ubuntu on sdc1 [23:41] I just want skype lol [23:41] !skype | Gentoon [23:41] Gentoon: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [23:41] there is no possible way of resoring mbr which buntu grub has taken over. [23:41] on this netbooks [23:42] no tools here [23:42] LizardK|ng: so grub should be in the mbr of your boot hd [23:42] ikonia: sok :D [23:42] Hello, i'm having some issues with wine and a game(KOTOR2)... My keyboard input is going to the terminal when the game is running in full screen [23:42] What's the channel for ubuntu one? #ubuntuone #ubuntu-one #oneubuntu ?? [23:42] erUSUL: I specify something like install=hd:////image_name.iso using the net-install cd [23:42] is there an sftp client that can do recursive upload and download ? (command line client) [23:42] DasEi1, and which one is the boot hd? [23:43] ikonia: i want a bootloader to be able to boot. i tried restoring but grub digged too deep. even reformating everything didn't work [23:43] hello? [23:43] hello [23:43] hi joejc [23:43] yo [23:43] i have an home partition and installed karmic, how can i recover all my users? [23:43] jiggaboojonez: grub needs a file system to store the grub config info on - so you need "something" [23:43] jiggaboojonez: I suggest trying to get your netbook OS install disk [23:44] rjb1: useradd, and set the home directories and user ids appropriately [23:44] rjb1: define recover users, frmo what ? [23:44] from what ? [23:44] LizardK|ng: the one you set bios to boot from [23:44] I'm trying to recover my root password on a fresh ubuntu install because I screwed up sudo and never set a root password [23:44] any i have my netbook disk the thing is ikonia... i don't have a ext. cd drive [23:44] !root [23:44] ardnew_: ubuntu doesnt have a root password [23:44] 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 [23:44] I cant get to the grub console because it times out too quickly [23:44] Gentoon: sometimes skype fails to work on ubuntus; also on linuxes overall. sfx card problems usually [23:44] ardnew_:what's the problem with sudo [23:44] !root| ardnew_: [23:44] ardnew_:: please see above [23:44] DasEi1, ok, thats sdc (no numbered partition, right?) [23:45] ikonia: when i try to create my old user it says home directory already exist so what can i do? [23:45] ardnew_: did you damage /etc/sudoers ? [23:45] rjb1: that's fine - [23:45] ikonia: I removed the line that gave my group sudo access [23:45] ikonia: can i just make a small partition for grub? [23:45] aaaaaaaaaaaaa [23:45] LizardK|ng:sdc(0,0) for mbr [23:45] ardnew_: which line ? [23:45] Ola! [23:45] in the sudoers file, yes [23:45] jiggaboojonez: yes, I don't see why not [23:45] hey, i could use some help with grub too, i'm completely new to linux, and i found zero help from the docs [23:45] !br | bruno [23:45] bruno: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:45] ardnew_: you need to boot into rescue / single user mode [23:45] How do I know in which apt package exists a specific latex package? === bruno is now known as Guest63002 [23:45] !rescue [23:45] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [23:45] hmm [23:45] ardnew_: boot into recovery mode and put the line back [23:45] !recovery [23:45] yeah, I just dont have a bootable CD or thumb drive [23:45] DasEi1, why sdc when the bios is going to go to sda? [23:45] linxeh i have my home directory so what can i do to recover my user? [23:45] I installed from the network [23:46] peleg: packages.ubuntu.com [23:46] ardnew_: you can do it from the grub prompt [23:46] ardnew_: you don't need a bootable CD [23:46] ardnew_: use the recovery mode from your grub menu [23:46] hello I brasil [23:46] linxeh: I cant get to the grub prompt [23:46] it times out too quickly [23:46] ardnew_: hold down shift [23:46] LizardK|ng: erm, see my question and your answer above ? [23:46] or something [23:46] shift eh [23:46] ?????? [23:46] Anybody knows how to trigger a ureadahead (Karmic) re-profile ? [23:46] something like that causes it to wait [23:46] ???????? [23:46] ??????????? [23:46] ???????????? [23:46] aaaaaaaa [23:46] Guest63002: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:46] DasEi1, sda is the windows drive that was previously being booted [23:46] Guest63002: please don't do that [23:46] LizardK|ng: and now you changed bios ? [23:47] can somebody explain me, i have my music dir (original view by amarok : 32537 songs), this dir is backuped by rsync on my nas, runnning mtdaap (scanned 32811), reading remote music dir thru daap with rhytmbox gives me 32811 too (obvious!) but my local music dir is listed with 33158 songs [23:47] can somebody explain to me :] [23:47] xD [23:47] ? [23:47] DasEi1, oops, i said that it boots from sdc and i meant sda [23:47] Just removing /var/lib/ureadahead/pack & var.run.pack didn't create any new files there [23:47] ??? [23:47] ?? [23:47] ??????????? [23:47] ????????????????????????????????? [23:47] Guest63002: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:47] i feel dumb, but i cannot install 9.10 at all [23:47] ikonia: how can I get to the grub console [23:47] Ah wait, it took a while to rebuild the files, never mind [23:47] guys how can i use my usb sound card? [23:47] erUSUL, thanks; though, I don't find it... is it possible that it is not listed? [23:47] DasEi1, sda being the windows drive [23:47] ardnew_: you don't need the grub console [23:48] ardnew_: when the grub menu comes up offering ubuntu/revovery mode/memtest - select recovery mode [23:48] can someone tell me how to view my freinds list in xchat [23:48] ankit_babbar: Replied to your email. [23:48] Hello, i'm having some issues with wine and a game(KOTOR2)... My keyboard input is going to the terminal when the game is running in full screen, but goes to the game if it's in a virtual window... any ideas? [23:48] LizardK|ng: that bootloader is still in order ? [23:48] ikonia: I have never seen that menu [23:48] can anyone help me figure out if i'm doing something wrong trying to install? [23:48] matts45acp: window-friends list [23:48] ikonia: are you talking about the menu on the install disk?
