[00:49] mizan: ok then I'm sorry I can't help!! [00:49] pspfreak: yes, use sudo apt-get.. i told you and not xampp [00:49] For the record, this is on a computer which I currently can't get connected to the net.. which is why I want to download the packages on a different system.. but for some reason the isos don't work well. :( [00:49] pspfreak: always use software from the repos, not from websites [00:49] is it just me, or is the new "ubuntu software center" horrible? Can I get the old view/version back somehow? I'd like to select more then one app at a time to install... [00:50] DasEi1, to burn it to a new cd and boot that cd? or boot the cd again? [00:50] cdocbo: try apt-get [00:50] cdocbo: yeah search in the software center for "add/remove software" [00:50] LizardK|ng: can you d/l and burn a cd ? simply y or n ? [00:50] hi all how would i install the java update via terminal [00:50] cdocbo: you can [00:50] @iceroot I am not re installing anything. Xampp is for windows too.

[00:51] xbunty: as above, but that will install all available updates; for only java just 'apt-get install blah' again to update, else it will give a message "already installed" [00:51] @iceroot, I used it when I had mepis linux, and it worked fine [00:52] LizardK|ng: this is an automated live cd for restoring grub, that should fix the issue round device.map [00:52] pspfreak: again. its very bad. use original-softzware from the repo not a distribution from a website [00:52] mazda01: upgrade to Karmic? or upgrade your system software? [00:52] LizardK|ng: also you got a recovery parti on sda1 , which might conflict with grub [00:52] DasEi1, ok, give me afew minutes [00:52] @iceroot btw, I have hosting. Do you even know what lampp is? It is the easy installer of all the stuff you said.

I don't care anyway. [00:53] mazda01: because that is not the proper way to upgrade [00:53] is there anyone here willing to help me setup my wireless? msg me please [00:53] I'm fine. Have a host I can use [00:53] can somebody help me with my m1530 microphone? It won't record with pulseaudio [00:53] pspfreak: sad if you dont care about good hints [00:53] DasEi1, the recovery partition is some dell utilities, really only needed when the computer is still under warranty, so it can go if necessary [00:54] matt45acp: doesn't work like that. ask your question and if we can help you, we will [00:54] pspfreak: and if you dont care about security [00:54] oh ok [00:54] sorry guys [00:54] !upgrade | mazda01 -- go here [00:54] mazda01 -- go here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:54] didn't know [00:54] iceroot, I just dont care.

[00:54] matt45acp: the only reason is because we don't know if we can help before you ask ;-) [00:54] ardchoille, my system has a gui but I only admin it thru ssh, so it's not a server install. those links don't show how to upgrade a full gui system through cli [00:55] bastid_raZor, nope, those links aren't corrext [00:55] mazda01: is do-release-upgrade what you're looking for? [00:55] bastid_raZor, i want to upgrade dists over ssh [00:55] LizardK|ng: make sure you d/l a grub version below 1.0 , like given 9799, no 1.0 or above [00:55] VCoolio, i don;'t know, let me check [00:55] Hello, anyone in here familiar with japanese input methods for ubuntu? === spcBNC is now known as _spcBNC [00:56] Allright, I tryed rmdir /opt/lampp, and it gave me a directory not empty [00:56] JackTIM: what's your question?

Thanks a lot! [01:09] LizardK|ng: Grub needs to be on your primary hard disk [01:09] LizardK|ng: in the MBR [01:09] LizardK|ng: then things should boot up ok, as long as the partitions are ok [01:09] LizardK|ng: second, just booting it here, too [01:09] sebsebseb, i keep getting error 21 fromj grub stage 1.5 [01:10] what is the difference between PHP GET and POST ? [01:10] nvme: put the mount commands into a separate script file. The call the script file from rc.local using an ampersand, so it runs in the background.

I am trying to run ssh'd X forwared from a Mythbuntu system running 9.04 and trying it on a 9.04 ubuntu system [01:11] LizardK|ng: just do a dist-upgrader if you want 9.10 [01:11] cdocbo, OH, DUH!!!! thanx [01:11] upgrade* [01:11] mazda01: what command are you using to connect?

[01:15] DasEi1, could this be part of the problem? i had sgd show me the partitions and its showing sdc as 0k [01:15] not sure he is using it in Windows [01:15] mazda01: ok cool [01:15] epinky, THAT DID IT! thanks a lot!!!! the pc will be a christmas present for my parents, and I was stuck with this problem for days..... thanks! [01:15] dabomb69: usually there's no dns cacheing so there's no cache to flush. What problem are you trying to solve? [01:16] Edgar1: well if you dont know what errors he is getting or anything, we cant help [01:16] Edgar1: is he using kpackagekit or the command line? [01:16] kpackagekit [01:16] Edgar1: install synaptic for him through the command line [01:16] losha, just wondering... [01:16] Edgar1: kpk has issues [01:16] epinky, will this method also work for kubuntu? [01:16] losha, I'm more worried about drivers... hdmi, bluetooth, graphic [01:16] anyone know how to remove the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary ? [01:17] AfroMan: I can confirm that HDMI, bluetooth, and graphic worked fine for me. [01:17] anybody know how to put the real transpenrency on the dockbar? [01:17] kinja-sheep, which distro? [01:17] poisonborz: yay!, glad you've made it, maybe, you should try :) [01:17] AfroMan: This distro. [01:17] hello AfroMan [01:17] skynet, The real transparency? Is there fake transparency? [01:17] you again === dassouki_ is now known as dassouki [01:18] yeas... [01:18] i have ubuntu 9.10 [01:18] skynet: gnomes default taskbar might not be able to do it [01:18] are multiple desktops totaly disabled in 9.10 remix? [01:18] edibian: yeah, there's the transparrency that shows the desktop and then there's fully composited transparency [01:18] cgkades, UNR does not place nice with compiz. [01:18] ok I may have done something stupid. I did sudo mv example.txt /dev/null. Did it throw away the file or did I fuck something up? [01:18] AfroMan: ubuntu & mint (and many others) have live-cds, basically try-before-you-commit. The don't even touch your disk. Just download, burn and run. If everything works, then you can opt to install.... [01:19] rj1: watch your language pelase [01:19] rj1: goodbye example.txt [01:19] how can i register my nickname ? [01:19] edbian: kinda figured the way it was set up that it wouldnt have them.. oh well [01:19] my apologies Seeker` [01:19] /msg nickserv identify algt01 [01:19] skynet, Are you talking about the transparency on the terminal? [01:19] Blehk so everything is fine right? [01:19] no xD [01:19] on the dock bar [01:19] cgkades, I don't think they're disabled entirely. Not really sure [01:19] i just bought a new computer with windows seven, it comes with no cd drive or recovery cd. I was wondering if i can partition my windows in a way to keep my recovery drive and be able to install linux [01:19] anyone know how to remove the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary ? [01:19] LizardK|ng: grub up in vbox now , [01:19] skynet, I don't think I can help you :( Sorry bud [01:19] dramz: /msg chanserv help register [01:20] ok thx [01:20] edbian: i looked for the actual command gnome-??? something... but didnt see anything that would bring up the properties [01:20] rj1: your text is gone... but that's it. /dev/null -> discards everything [01:20] dtrzG: /msg chanserv help register [01:20] brixius: now would be a good time to change your password [01:20] is there a way to wake up an ubuntu machine from suspend mode, like so i can use my laptop as some kind of alarm clock [01:20] losha, I will try so then. I was just wondering which one is newbie friendly [01:20] brixius: sorry am not reading everything [01:20] Blehk thanks very much just making sure and Seeker` once again my apologies [01:21] rj1: think of /dev/null as a black hole. [01:21] LizardK|ng: reboot grub, no help >> [01:21] There is no application installed for shared library files ??? please help me ? [01:21] dassouki: there's usually a way to backup the recovery partition. Try #windows for more details.... [01:21] srdjan: you have to be more explicit with the question [01:21] DasEi1, does the help interfere? [01:21] AfroMan: Ubuntu is popular because it is very friendly. You're encouraged to try it. [01:21] anyone know how to remove the setuid bit from the ntfs-3g binary ? [01:21] AfroMan: I understand. But you should understand that this channel may be biased :-) [01:21] Blehk yes but its also a file XD [01:21] LizardK|ng: no, but complicates [01:21] well that sucks [01:22] srdjan: it's usually, that there are no shared libraries installed for the application [01:22] DasEi1, ok, no help [01:22] Blehk so I was wondering if I accidentally misplaced it by forcing it with sudo [01:22] LizardK|ng: >>langauage >> advanced>> [01:22] rj1: it's a pointer to a null device [01:22] Blehk thnx :D [01:22] LizardK|ng: >>grub [01:22] ok [01:22] Blehk: i'm familiar with /dev/null in the context of using it to overwrite my disk with zeros... is there a similar pointer/file/device that will produce 1's? [01:22] how [01:23] rj1: We shall have a funeral for your file in the maximized terminal. "clear ; banner -w 30 RIP" [01:23] Blehk then how to open and read nvidia_do.so [01:23] Blehk: this is purely out of curiosity =) [01:23] LizardK|ng: >>restore grub [01:23] bllz, no, but you can use an endless loop. while true; do printf 1; done [01:23] unop: you can do that in dd? [01:23] DasEi1, i have 3 options that start with "restore GRUB" should i do "in Hard Disk (MBR)"? [01:24] bllz: there isn't. It turns out that for most things, zeroes are all you need... [01:24] LizardK|ng: >>manual (2nd) [01:24] bllz: you want to fill your HDD? [01:24] losha: that makes sense, actually [01:24] ok, now that that goof up is fixed. [01:24] bllz, sure while true; do printf 1; done | dd ... [01:24] with cairo dock, can we move the icon, cauz i cant... [01:24] bahaa: not now, and not with 1's. I usually use /dev/urandom anyway [01:24] LizardK|ng: no you should see options [01:24] bahaa: it was a curiosity thing [01:24] unop; interesting. i learned something today =) [01:24] bllz: ok sorry [01:24] bllz: I'm pretty sure you could use /dev/null and pipe it to bit flip the 0 [01:24] bahaa; no worries =) [01:25] Hi, is there a ppa that will always get me the latest fglrx? [01:25] Blehk: also a good point [01:25] bllz: thanks [01:25] DasEi1, ok, do i tell it sda1 or sda2? [01:25] bllz /dev/null | (whatever the bitflip command would be > /dev/device [01:25] Blehk, bllz /dev/null generates nothing. maybe you mean /dev/zero ? [01:25] nvme, I can help you! :) [01:25] Blehk: that would, of course, assume that I *really* wanted to use 1's and not zeros lol =) [01:25] unop: aah yeah. you're right, actually [01:25] nvme, `chmod 6711` will set the setuid and setgid bit (6) make the file read/write/executable for the owner (7) and executable by the group and others (11). [01:26] unop: I'm assuming bllz is doing /dev/null > /dev/device [01:26] LizardK|ng: what do you get ? sdc should be there [01:26] DasEi1, i tried sdc and it couldn't find any of the files, then i got error 15: file not found [01:26] Blehk, that is quite meaningless actually [01:26] I have a question on the gnome config. I was changing where the window bar was shown on the screen and said top/autohide, now I can't click on either the app bar or the window bar. is there something I can do to change that back. [01:26] Blehk: but he's right. I use /dev/zero not /dev/null [01:27] edbian, ah thanks, someone suggested chmod u-s in the linux channel and that worked, but the numbers make more sense to me [01:27] DasEi1, sdc is showing as 0K with no partitions [01:27] thats zero k [01:27] hrm.. [01:27] nvme, NP :) [01:27] unop is right. /dev/null returns enf-of-file. /dev/zero returns bytes containing zero. See man zero... [01:27] ctmjr: now I know why your name was yellow, it's because when you put my name in the beginning the program yellows your name!! [01:27] nvme, the numbers can change other permissions that you might not want changed tho [01:28] grrrrrrrrrrrrr [01:28] LizardK|ng: darn, reboot live-ubuntu jaunty [01:28] edbian, wait so 6 sets setuid and setgid ? how do i remove it ? [01:28] CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH MY SOUND CARD ISSUES? [01:28] whats he problem eith the sound [01:28] zeus_koof: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP. I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE [01:28] ubuntu rules [01:29] !caps | zeus_koof [01:29] zeus_koof: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:29] I updated to Ubuntu 9.10 and the sound card will not play any sound [01:29] bllz: ha ha ha that one is nice [01:29] nvme, chmod u-s,g-s file [01:29] i have looked in forums but to no avail [01:29] * bllz brushes shoulder ;-) [01:29] i hav a fix is your card intel [01:29] goddamn grub [01:29] I have sound card issues in 9.10 also, but haven't taken the time to mess with it. [01:29] yes [01:29] go to etc modprobe d [01:29] ok [01:30] Is there a trick to setting up an Ubuntu box to serve an rdp/vnc port? I cannot log into an Ubuntu box at all. [01:30] edit alsabase .conf [01:30] add these lines to the end [01:30] If I randomly (seemingly) switch output options, it works until I reboot [01:30] LizardK|ng: this is grub-legacy, quite funny to grub2 [01:30] it says nothing found [01:30] zeus_koof: I've had good luck with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. Just skip the gui config bit as it doesn't exist in 9.10 [01:30] my wife is gonna be mad, i was supposed to spackle our living room and i fooled with grub all day [01:30] smacnay: you probably need to portforward 5900 to your ubuntu box [01:30] grub > living room [01:30] when are wives not mad? [01:31] my wife is gonna be mad, i was supposed to spackle our living room and i fooled with grub all dayslixnot to my wife [01:31] hold on [01:31] oops [01:31] LizardK|ng: oo .. well fs-check and devicemap.check now ~15 min, [01:31] alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel [01:31] alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel [01:31] options snd-hda-intel model=hp-hdx [01:31] options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 [01:31] bsmith093: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:31] sorry [01:31] Please stop the "wives are all mad" conversation, LizardK|ng and cdocbo [01:31] slix, not to my wife [01:31] bastidrazor, thanks [01:31] hi [01:31] bsmith093 i sent you a private msg, u get it? [01:32] I am in grub, and all i see is my windows boot disk [01:32] maco, hardly a conversation when I said one thing, chill [01:32] not the wubi ubuntu disk [01:32] maco, she's going to be mad because i was supposed to spackle for the last 3 months, not because she's a wife and wivevs are always mad [01:32] i did [01:32] any ideas [01:32] anyway [01:32] LizardK|ng: eh was more at cdocbo [01:32] and when I did try to boot via cli grub [01:32] cdocbo: just didnt want it continuing is all [01:32] all i got was inimtrds or something like that [01:32] DasEi1, i tried booting and now i get grub error 5 [01:32] can anyone tell me what to install in lxde to adjust the sound volume [01:32] maco maybe you should wait before saying stuff then [01:33] 5<21 [01:33] initramfs [01:33] * gleeb is amazed with 1300+ peeps [01:33] all I see know is initramfs [01:33] oh wait; i got error 5 when i told the ubuntu disk to boot to the first partition, when i boot w/o a disc, i still get error 21 === berrybarry is now known as ben0007 [01:34] what is initramfs [01:34] LizardK|ng: shoulda stuck to spackling then.... === ben0007 is now known as barryberry [01:34] losha, yes, with my wubi boot [01:34] yea wubi boot hre also [01:34] goppp, initramfs is the initial system files that ubuntu puts into ram during the boot up sequence. I don't really know anything else about it though [01:34] wubi > grub [01:35] edbian: with my ubuntu wubi install [01:35] all I see is [01:35] windows as my only choose in wubi [01:35] err grub [01:35] grub [01:35] LizardK|ng: rebooted to live ? [01:35] DasEi1, yeah [01:36] wubi is, unfortunately, notorious for boot problems... [01:36] goppp, I understand. The grub menu does not show wubi. No offense but I think you should just install ubuntu in a virtual machine or as a dual boot. Wubi is just sorta proof of concept / a neat trick. It's not very functional [01:36] LizardK|ng: sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sdc1 [01:36] edbian: okay [01:36] goppp, It is tough to get good support for wubi cause it's very difficult to debug [01:37] edbian, i never had any trouble with wubi [01:37] ahh I see thanks edbian [01:37] LizardK|ng: fs clean ? [01:37] does anyone know of a decent mp3 player like rhythmbox that uses DIRECTORY STRUCTURE and not ID3 tags? [01:37] DasEi1, it;s still booting [01:37] k [01:37] LizardK|ng, Sometimes it works perfectly. I had a good experience with it as well. Many times though it has problems. It is hard to fix them. :P [01:37] Sensors: Error: You do not have the sensors app installed. [01:37] Network: Card-1 Atheros Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter driver ath5k v: 0.6.0 [01:37] Card-2 nVidia MCP67 Ethernet driver forcedeth at port d800 [01:37] edbian, not as hard as fixing grub [01:37] LizardK|ng: DO NOT mount hd before fscking [01:38] at least with wubi, you can boot into windows, uninstall, and reinstall [01:38] LizardK|ng: yea [01:38] LizardK|ng: I love vm's [01:38] DasEi1, fscking now [01:38] how can I check if a volume is mounted at the command line? [01:38] how to move the icon with cairo dock, to the place we want? [01:38] DasEi1, clean as a whistle [01:38] bllz: mount tells you [01:38] "mount" [01:38] bllz: mount [01:39] LizardK|ng: sudo mkdir /media/root [01:39] LizardK|ng, Fixing grub with wubi is harder than fixing grub alone. [01:39] LizardK|ng: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/root [01:39] what is bllz asking about? [01:39] DasEi1, epinky: hmm... any way to check by path? I want to check if /media/500GB is mounted... [01:39] LizardK|ng: sudo chroot /media/root [01:40] does he mean when I mount a hard drive or cd and I see it on the screen or he is asking about the path he is in in the terminal? [01:40] bllz [01:40] bllz: maybe, df -h [01:40] is anyone here good with GTK RECORDMYDESKTOP?? [01:40] how do I save something in the grub editor [01:41] how do i find out what driver i need for my wireless card [01:41] I was wondering if someone could peek one of my videos and tell me ways to raise my quality? [01:41] DasEi1, ok, chrooted [01:41] bllz, I think you're confused :). If a drive is mounted than you can access the files on it. A "isMounted" test is usually not necessary [01:41] the name of the card [01:41] hey i just installed google chrome and it will run but then crash and log me out of my desktop its really annyoing does anyone els know about this [01:41] webbb82, I'm running chrome quite reliably both on a debian system and open suse [01:41] webbb82 do you have an error of any sort? [01:42] LizardK|ng: cat /boot/grub/device.map ,paste it [01:42] edbian: right, but i want to check without having to try to make a directory [01:42] the name of the card [01:42] no i dont get any error it just will log me out [01:42] its only when im running chrome [01:42] hey guys... anyone know why trying to set a background image is so slow? I've got a really fast machine and it's just pathetically slow [01:42] bllz, you mean the drive is empty and you can't tell? Is that what you're saying? [01:42] there are some other gnome bits that seem to be slow here and there too. [01:43] is anyone here good with GTK RECORDMYDESKTOP?? [01:43] what I get is error unknown command 'drive map' [01:43] I was wondering if someone could peek one of my videos and tell me ways to raise my quality? [01:43] occy, Its that silly fade effect. I'm not sure why it's so slow. Annoying isn't it? [01:43] bllz: mount | grep -c /mnt/500gb, returns 1 if mounted, 0 if not [01:43] DasEi1, (fd0) /dev/fd0; (hd0) /dev/sda; (hd1) /dev/sdb; (hd2) /dev/sdc (where ; is a newline) [01:44] edbian: yar... it is annoying. === m4v_ is now known as m4v [01:44] cdocbo: great, thank you [01:44] bllz, yw [01:44] plustax: are you asking us to critique the style, or give you technical advice? [01:44] losha technical advice [01:45] it looks like butt [01:45] edbian: my machine damned near locks up for like 15s and does nothing. and it's a: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9600 @ 2.80GHz with 3G ram. [01:45] [01:45] and its glitchy. and the resolution is really fuzzy. here. [01:45] cdocbo: see this is strange... i can create files in /media/500GB but that command returns 0 [01:45] losha: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/desktop.avi [01:45] occy, It probably has more to do with your video card and more specifically the module being used on it. [01:45] bllz, you said check if it was mounted, if it's not mounted the mount point (a directory) is still there [01:46] edbian: it's an nvidia card [01:46] Are there many negroes that use Ubuntu? [01:46] bllz, if you only want to test for the directory, test -d /mnt/500gb [01:46] I mean despite its African name [01:46] LizardK|ng: sudo grub [01:46] Can someone help me get my mic working? When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN 0.97.2, 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? [01:46] I only see non-negroes like Whites Asians and Hispanics using it [01:46] cdocbo: oh... crap. that's a problem how do i get it to mount at boot time? [01:46] I have never seen a black african manage ubuntu [01:46] bllz, add it to your fstab [01:46] are there black ubuntu users? [01:46] edbian: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 061e (rev a2) [01:46] LizardK|ng: find /boot/grub/stage1 [01:46] Jigbooot: unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful. gtfo [01:47] that destop ewas awsome what is it [01:47] LizardK|ng: found ? [01:47] cdocbo: how do I do that? [01:47] Are there any black ubuntu users? [01:47] If there are, please show evidence [01:47] Jigbooot: Please take that elsewhere [01:47] !ot | Jigbooot [01:47] Jigbooot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:47] cdocbo: i've poked around in fstab before but how do I add a device to be mounted? [01:47] This is a question about Ubuntu [01:47] what is wrong with this [01:47] occy, I don't think I can help further. I think the solution would be to re-write code in the change background function or the cards module. That's way above my head unfortunately :( [01:47] ? [01:47] I am on topic [01:47] bllz, do you know the filesystem? [01:47] Jigbooot: #troll is that way ---------> [01:47] edbian: np mate ;) [01:47] I refuse to use ubuntu until I find evidence of negroid usage [01:47] !ops | Jigbooot [01:47] Jigbooot: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia! [01:48] DasEi1, 1 second [01:48] occy, Sorry! :( personally I think the fading change is stupid anyway. [01:48] well? [01:48] cdocbo: yes, it's ext4 on /dev/sdb [01:48] edbian: I concur [01:48] why am I being reported? [01:48] bc u dont know when to take a hint thats why [01:48] Jigbooot: Because the question is offensive [01:48] Jigbooot: this channel is for technical help, see given hints [01:48] hey -- is there a way to make files I put in ~/.bin execute when I type the name of the file [01:48] DasEi1: error 15: file not found [01:48] edbian: if you can't have it work right, don't make changing a background take 15s on a really fast machhine. That's sily. But anyway. [01:48] losha: any tips on making it better? [01:48] look better? [01:48] Really I would be very surprised tos ee a nigggress using ubuntu, being that their average IQ is 80, while everybody else averages 100 [01:48] edbian: we shall both suffer together [01:48] semitones, That's what /usr/local/bin is for! :) [01:48] Jigbooot: :o ... [01:48] bllz, ok, so you'd do: /dev/sda5 /mnt/500gb ext4 defaults 0 0 [01:48] LzrdKing: in grub prompt ?? [01:49] DasEi1: yes [01:49] semitones, put files in there to get the desired effect [01:49] :( [01:49] occy: try "metacity --replace" [01:49] edbian: ok, but do I have permission to write there? [01:49] epinky: wait what? [01:49] epinky: what does that do? [01:49] semitones, I think you need root power [01:49] bllz, you need to use the correct partition, /dev/sda5 needs to be changed, and your mount point, etc. [01:49] plustax: I don't know much about the theora encoder to be honest. Can you up the bitrate? [01:49] cdocbo: hmm..right [01:49] edbian: alright, thannks [01:50] I dont know how. :( [01:50] semitones, NP. I love putting my custom scripts in there [01:50] occy: maybe compiz is causing trouble, "metacity --replace" should switch to metacity [01:50] plustax: what do you use to capture. recordmydesktop? [01:50] cdocbo: the thing is i see a line for it ... it looks like tihs: # /media/500GB was on /dev/sdb1 during installation [01:50] UUID=0c58ec2d-ba47-4403-a6bb-b6e4e8a87187 /media/500GB ext4 noatime,ndiratime,defaults 0 2 [01:50] LzrdKing: quit [01:50] bllz, remove the #, it's commented out [01:50] LzrdKing: exit [01:50] hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm trying to upgrade one of my machines to 9.10 from 9.04 but as soon as the install begins, I get an error message that says 'Can not upgrade:Your python install is corrupted. Please fix the '/usr/bin/python' symlink.' but I've never changed it. Any thoughts? [01:50] LzrdKing: sudo grub [01:50] LizardK|ng: find /boot/grub/stage1 [01:51] cdocbo: oh wow! I didn't even see that! why on earth is it commented out?! [01:51] cdocbo. thanks! [01:51] cdocbo: wait... it's not commented out [01:51] outofthemadness, try to purge python all together. Or check the symlink. Where should it point. Where does it point etc etc? [01:51] still stalls out [01:51] losha: yep recordmydesktop [01:51] DasEi1: (hd2,0) [01:51] and I was running metacity before I'm pretty sure [01:51] edbian: what was that path again? [01:51] /usr/bin/local? [01:52] cdocbo: let me pastebin my fstab [01:52] bllz, ok so it was removed, just add it back. /dev/sdb1 /media/500gb ext4 defaults 0 0 [01:52] occy: check processes with top or htop [01:52] edbian: it's pointing to /usr/bin/python2.6 ... I'm unsure of where it should point [01:52] semitones, /usr/local/bin [01:52] thanks [01:52] LzrdKing: aharr [01:52] outofthemadness, I would suggest just "sudo apt-get remove python" for the install. Not really good to have a corrupted file anyway [01:52] DasEi1: ?? root (hd2,0)? [01:52] LzrdKing: () .. y! [01:53] Hmm.. this is a bit of a stupid question, but should I get the 64-bit version of Ubuntu? My processor is 64-bit and I always used 64-bit Windows (I'm a bit confused because it mentions AMD) [01:53] DasEi1: ?? [01:53] cdocbo: wait what? hang on... here's my fstab: http://pastebin.com/m592b60b6 [01:53] edbians, rather I thought that was where it should point. wouldn't removing python be a bit of overkill? I mean, I think that would also remove all things depending on python, which is an awful large chunk of programs [01:53] i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed... [01:53] LzrdKing: () root (hd2,0) yes, sir [01:54] edbians, I'm going to do a bit more research, then come back [01:54] plustax: google says: http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/rug/p1_2d.php [01:54] slix, :) the whole point of 64 bit hardware and software is to allow the use of 4GB of ram (or more) If you don't have that much ram you won't benefit from 64 bit at all. It has amd in the name because amd invented the architecture [01:54] bllz, so it's there, just using UUID instead of device name [01:54] can someone tell me how to remove the volume applet from the notification bar? [01:54] slide, intel and amd make amd64 architecture processors [01:54] DasEi1: ok, install (hd0) or (hd2) or (hd2,0) or something else? [01:54] cdocbo: I don't understand... so it's mounted? [01:54] losha: thank you!! [01:54] I do have 4gb of ram.. [01:54] bllz, type mount | grep /media/500gb [01:55] Alright, good. [01:55] LzrdKing: setup (hd0) [01:55] Just making sure.. [01:55] bllz, if you see it, then yes [01:55] how can I ensure my machine is running at peak performance? I'd rather have speed vs. batter saving on my laptop [01:55] slix, Than I suggest 64 bit ubuntu! :) (It isn't a stupid question) [01:55] oh right, setup, not install [01:55] I checked bios and didn't see much in there for it [01:55] and I've checked the power settings [01:55] cdocbo: it returns nothing [01:55] LzrdKing: errors ? [01:55] cdocbo: it just goes to a new line [01:55] DasEi1: says it succeeded, but i am skeptical, as i had done this before [01:55] nah [01:56] and would you know how I can change the amount of bits in my display? [01:56] LzrdKing: quit [01:56] bllz, ok, then something is wrong. try sudo mount /media/500gb [01:56] LzrdKing: reboot [01:56] does anyone have a URL that can help me with 'error: you must load the kernel first" ? I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 [01:56] I'd like to get 24 or 32 [01:56] DasEi1: ok, but as i said, i'm skeptical [01:56] bllz, oh, wait, you have GB, it's case senstive [01:56] someone gimme an open source program for recording your desktop as a video. STAT. [01:56] gotta record a er.. um... you know.. live show... [01:56] its a band [01:56] yeah thats the tickety [01:57] can someone tell me how to remove the volume applet from the notification bar? [01:57] cdocbo: yeah i've been correcting for that [01:57] occy: System->Administration-> System Monitor [01:57] HALP [01:57] cdocbo: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [01:57] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [01:57] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [01:57] dmesg | tail or so [01:57] bllz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:57] anyone? [01:57] I need help [01:57] bllz, are you sure it's ext4? [01:58] con-man, Just google it! [01:58] hi all, can anybody help me with switching to runlevel 3 and changing kernel vga parameter? I tried vga=ask but the kernel won't boot saying that it is obsolete and not supported. I am running this: Linux host 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 05:01:14 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux. How can I discover the modes? [01:58] cdocbo: 100% positive. is it because i have the defaults option along with noatime and nodiratime in fstab? [01:58] DasEi1, still error 21. ready to give up, for today at least? === barryberry is now known as ashley007\ [01:59] bllz, I assume that's either a external/additional HD? [01:59] secondary internal, cdocbo [01:59] LizardK|ng: yes, next to check is chrooted syslog and dmesg [01:59] bllz, check for a good partition, fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 [02:00] !info xvidcap | con-man [02:00] con-man: xvidcap (source: xvidcap): Screen video capture for X.

Version 1.1.7-0.2ubuntu5 (karmic), package size 1313 kB, installed size 2788 kB [02:00] can someone tell me how to remove the volume applet from the notification bar? [02:00] bllz, er, no 1 at the end [02:00] DasEi1, will you be here tomorrow? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [02:00] four: are you in Gnome? [02:00] cdocbo: no valid partiton table [02:00] LizardK|ng: there a few around here ;-), also there is #grub, might be [02:00] that's the problem... [02:01] LizardK|ng: want the collected pasties ? [02:01] Zenith88, yes i am [02:01] hello i have to copy a couple hundred gig across 100Mb network, i have done this in the past (one being windows xp the other being ubuntu 9.10) it seems inordinately slow..Is there a fast data sync utility that can be used between these two hosts? [02:01] bllz, you tried it with /dev/sdb? [02:01] cdocbo: hmm hang on [02:01] i'm just gonna set up my printer and media drives for samba sharing [02:01] four: right click the applet, does it give you 'remove' menu option? [02:01] Zenith88, no [02:01] cdocbo: taht seems to work [02:01] does anybody know what the number of bits in display means? Like 24 bit, 32 bit display? [02:01] DasEi1, but if i work with someone else, they won't know what we've already tried tonight [02:02] LizardK|ng: see above [02:02] Zenith88, but i think maybe removing it from startup applications might do away with it [02:02] LizardK|ng: want the collected pasties ? [02:02] hikenboot: 100MB Network? You mean local network or over Internet? If that's over Internet, then yeah, that'll be slow. [02:02] bllz, does it show System as Linux? [02:02] cdocbo: yes [02:02] Zenith88, im gonna try it nowe [02:02] hikenboot, eSATA drive [02:02] bllz, ok try sudo mount -t ext4 /media/500GB === ashley007\ is now known as barryberry [02:02] four: that's a very radical solutions, should be an easier one. I don't have gnome on this machine, but recall there was an easy way to do it. [02:02] DasEi1, yes, collected pasties please [02:03] If I know the ip address of a computer is there some way to find out the hostname over the network? (LAN) [02:03] hi guys. is there a way to boot ubuntu 9.10 into text only (safe?) mode? [02:03] edbian, nslookup? [02:03] i mean dig [02:03] Zenith88, yeah i think that there was a way but it is gone now [02:03] no 100mb lan only two hosts sharing a switch [02:03] ok i forget how to get echo to repeat in a loop... anyone? [02:03] I cannot get into grub menu at all [02:03] tatyana: man telinit [02:03] is there a place to choose 256 colors, thousands, millions, etc? [02:04] four: ouch! if you click in different areas of start menu, what do you get? [02:04] well, i'd do that. but I can't boot into regular mode at all. therefore I need to get into text-only [02:04] squidbilly, while /bin/true; do echo "blah"; done [02:05] LizardK|ng: collecting... [02:05] hikenboot: Linux + XP? Linux + Linux? There are no such thing as fast data sync. Just lot of tools that get the job done with sync or file transferring. rsync is a sync tool for one. You want GUI? Filezilla or in your GNOME file manager, there are "Connect To Server" in drop-down menu. [02:05] tatyana: so it's a bit different problem. what happened to your grub? [02:05] cdocbo: i'm getting an error... [02:05] semitones: a bit offtopic, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth [02:05] ok thanks [02:05] excellent. thanks [02:05] nothing. fresh installation of ubuntu. i know for sure that the problem is with video drv [02:05] bllz, the same one? [02:05] epinky: I just want to know how to chaNGE it under ubuntu [02:06] epinky: sorry for caps [02:06] so i wanted to boot into save mode and edid xorg.conf [02:06] cdocbo: no apparently a syntax error? it explains how to use the mount command [02:06] but i can't [02:06] semitones [02:06] why does my text disappears ? [02:06] regular boot just hangs [02:06] bllz try sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/500GB [02:06] the bits are about colors [02:06] edbian: One way is to access your router website and check attached devices for hostname. [02:06] epinky: I know you used to have to do it with xorg.conf, but that's been deprecated I think [02:06] anyone know where the grub menu list is? i looked where i'm used to it being /boot/grub but its not there [02:06] kinja-sheep, Thanks [02:06] tatyana: hangs for how long? [02:07] cdocbo: is it supposed to succeed silently? [02:07] forever [02:07] bllz, yes [02:07] bahaa: do you know where the setting for that is in ubuntu? [02:07] semitones: the more bets you have the more colors ranges you have [02:07] cdocbo: let's check the dammage =) [02:07] tatyana: still, for how long? [02:07] semitones: wait a minute [02:07] bahaa: thanks [02:07] HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here. For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan? [02:07] c'mon. what do you mean? do I have to wait hours? I clearly see that it doesn't boot [02:07] cdocbo: oh okay, so it's definitely mounted now... [02:07] it falls into black screen [02:08] cdocbo: how do I make these changes permanent? [02:08] capslock does not response [02:08] tatyana: no, not hours. but it may take a few minutes to boot. [02:08] so that it'll mount each time it boots? [02:08] Hello all, I'm trying to download updates from the update manager but get an error that it can't retrieve packages. I've been trying for a day now, any idea what is wrong? [02:08] of course i understand that. [02:08] bllz, maybe the UUID is wrong or changed, make sure it's the same still. sudo blkid /dev/sdb1, check that against what is in your fstab [02:08] tatyana: do you get text mode login before it tries to load X? [02:08] I am somewhat newbie but not that much ) [02:09] how do I change the name associated with my ubuntuone account? and can I access the files on another PC? [02:09] cdocbo: id is the same [02:09] no. that's what I am saying. power on --> some bios messages --> splash screen --> dead [02:09] bllz, are you're sure it's not there on boot? [02:09] <_spcBNC> how do i decompress with tar archive that has more folders in to only one folder all files? [02:09] cdocbo: how do you mean? [02:10] tatyana: that's ways before X startup. [02:10] bllz, have you rebooted and then check that it's mounted [02:10] cdocbo: i'll try now [02:10] brb [02:11] i was only able to install it in text mode with vga=794 option [02:11] I tested my net connection which is working fine [02:11] I can't get X [02:11] Would it be the ubuntu servers? [02:11] <_spcBNC> how do i decompress with tar archive that has more folders in to only one folder all files? [02:11] I need to modify my xorg.conf [02:11] does grub2 has its own irc channel? [02:11] hey people -- can you still use xorg.conf? OR is there something that replaced it [02:11] semitones: you just want to change color preferences on the display right? [02:12] semitones: I believe it was replaced with GRUB2 [02:12] DasEi1, still collecting? [02:12] HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan? [02:12] all I need is -- how can I get access to grub menu, like in previous versions of ubuntu (pressing ESC) [02:12] bahaa: yeah I have a program that says it needs 24 or 32 bit display to work [02:12] zortec: thanks, looking it up [02:12] LizardK|ng: once I had them together hit the wrong tab, sorry, second [02:12] all the programming channels are overflow.. are there backup channels? i need a php channel [02:12] cdocbo: ok now it doesn't appear to be mounted anymore [02:12] wtf... [02:12] semitones:and doesn't it work I just read that ubuntu uses 24 bit [02:13] eddy: have you tried the daniweb community forums? they are a good place to ask php questions [02:13] what tatyana asks would be useful [02:13] bllz, copy the line, put a # for a comment on it, then change the uuid=... to /dev/sdb1, and try again [02:14] bahaa: the error says "This will only work if you're running X on console / Sorry, we only support 24 bit and 32 bit displays right now" [02:14] yep :) [02:14] has anyone had a problem downloading updates using the update manager? That is all I need help with :) [02:14] indeed it would. for me at least )) [02:14] I have 19 updates that just won't download for some reason [02:14] ty zortec [02:15] is the ubuntu server disk bootable? is it a live disk? [02:16] no [02:16] semitones: isn't console the terminal of kde? [02:16] the server CD is bootable, but it's not a live session [02:16] Hilikus: both the ubuntu server version and desktop one should be bootable [02:16] anybody get their touchpad on their laptop to work in ubuntu 9.10 [02:16] it does boot, but i don't see anything to start it without installing [02:16] most people [02:17] tatyana, can be useful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:17] bahaa: I think that's konsole. I think "console" just means the commandline [02:17] tatyana, brb [02:17] DasEi1 : im having trouble with that external hdd, i cant access it through any programs, it says this in terminal cannot umount /dev/sdc1 -- /dev/sde1 is mounted over it on the same point. [02:17] zeus_koof: sure [02:17] semitones: that is right or it's often referred to as cli [02:17] cuz mine doesnt [02:17] zortec: so either I'm not running X on the cli, or my display is not 24 or 32 bit [02:17] how do I change the name associated with my ubuntuone account? and can I access the files on another PC (regardless of the os?)? [02:18] semitones:ok I think I found something interesting on wiki I'll check it [02:18] bahaa: ok [02:18] Hilikus: cuz mine doesnt [02:18] cdocbo: that seems to ahve worke [02:18] *worked [02:18] my touchpad works [02:18] hmm, where are the main ubuntu helpers tonight?

I tried a proxy and an SSH server, and both are blocked at school [02:20] Some_Person, add a port to your SSH server on 443, most firewalls don't/can't block HTTPS, then ssh to 443. :) [02:20] where can i find docs on Ubuntu One? [02:20] zeus_koof, try checking the FN+whatever button enables and disable the touchpad, sometimes it can revert to off when the software is changed/installed, I had a acer do that before. [02:20] I tried 22, 443, 80, and some other random ports [02:20] all blocked [02:21] zeus_koof, you might need to toggle it then wait and toggle it again [02:21] Some_Person, you have a public ip at home? [02:21] cdocbo: yes [02:21] Some_Person, try 53 [02:21] cdocbo: If you think the problem is with my server, it isn't. I tested it by dialing in to my ISP with a different computer [02:21] i am using the CHROOT method of recover described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and i got " Cannot find list of partitions!".

[02:24] cdocbo: i just want the drive to be rw by all users [02:24] does anyone have any idea what I might do to get the last of the updates from update manager? When I try, I get an error that the packages could not be retrieved from the servers [02:25] HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan?

Join the mailing list & say 'hi', & what talks you're interested in: http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal VOIP CONNECTION INFO: http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/remote-attendance IRC: #berkeleytip [02:34] your modem blocks pings? [02:34] semitones, select "layout options" and it is in there [02:35] well fixed my problem by using the main ubuntu server and not the server for the united states in the update manager [02:35] spyder_: strange, does /boot/grub/grub.cfg only list memtest? [02:35] does X support to work if you install it in Ubuntu Server? [02:36] how to kill unresponsive program? [02:36] can someone here please msg me and help me get my wireless going [02:36] Zeppelin: you can use kill or pkill [02:36] trism: http://paste.novarata.net/index.php?id=20091217183428_42903 [02:36] semitones: are you still there? [02:36] TheCheeze: are you sure it's there? I only see keyboard type [02:36] bahaa: yes [02:37] anyone able to help me with serial admin: minicom & gtkterm? [02:37] Zeppelin, system/administration/system monitor [02:37] please? [02:37] semitones, keyboard, not keyboard preferences in the menu [02:37] semitones:have you heard about Hal [02:37] spyder_: no kernels, odd [02:37] ??? [02:37] TheCheeze: alright I'll check again [02:37] Can someone help me get my mic working? When I try to set the preferences for webcam, speakers and mic in aMSN 0.97.2, 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? [02:37] bahaa: yeah, but isn't it deprecated now? [02:38] semitones, when in there click the layouts tab [02:38] connecting to ALIX board over null-cable; works ok in win hyperterminal, but when using same settings om my karmic 64, I get nothing [02:38] behaa: I never knew how to work it though [02:39] trism: any thoughts? [02:39] The Cheeze: I was in the layout tab: I saw "use system defaults" "keyboard model" and "keyboard layout" [02:39] BalSak, are you using the correct ttyS? [02:39] does brasero's "burn multiple disks" feature actually do anything? I click the button that pops up when you put too much data on ("did you want to use multiple disks?"), but it still won't let me burn... [02:39] Okay, guys, here's my situation. In short, my laptop has trouble with connecting to our home wireless. I know that it's not the laptop or the Ubuntu install because: a) it connects to other networks just fine and b) I had this problem on Debian and an older version of Ubuntu as well. My router is a ClearAccess AG10W modem/router and I don't know very much about networking, so I'd appreciate it if someone could help me troubleshoot this. [02:39] semitones: there is a guy in a forum who says it used to be Xorg.conf but in 8.10 and later it's .Hal or something like that [02:39] does LVM come with 9.10? I can't find much documentation I am getting a new hard drive and want to manage the partitions with LVM can I install it with a clean install of 9.10? [02:39] yes. ttyS0; primary serial interface on the mobo [02:39] zortec, hey mate, is it possible to use this VirtualBox to boot another working windows partition ? [02:39] semitones:http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=10904&sid=cb3290f9c0c2b2b335075f36b97446e4 [02:39] how do i make a keyboard shortcut for xchat [02:40] cdocbo: baud is set at 38400 [02:40] bahaa: alright, I'll check [02:40] Andorin, are you talking about it never connecting or dropping connections or what [02:40] BalSak, did you try 9600, N,8,1, flow control off? [02:40] hyperstream: you can run windows in virtualbox and create a dynamically expanding partition for it [02:40] !alternative | bigdavjoker (LVM) [02:40] bigdavjoker (LVM): 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 [02:40] if I try to `sudo cat` any of the ttySn devices, only 0 is available [02:40] hyperstream: that is all done in the virtualbox partition setup [02:40] cdocbo, I did, but will again [02:40] semitones: I need to make a thing that takes about half an hour and then I'll come back to till me if you find something [02:40] spyder_: and there are kernels in /boot? because as far as I can tell, the grub2 script to add linux entries just searches /boot for kernels [02:41] kinja-sheep, Thanks! [02:41] zortec, what i ment is(sorry), do i have to reinstall windows into VB, or can i just use a pre existing one [02:41] semitones:ok? [02:41] bigdavjoker: Well, it can see the network and try to connect to it, but normally it just hangs while trying to connect and eventually times out. Interestingly enough, this time I've gotten it to actually connect to the network, but I don't seem to have Internet access as no pages are loading. [02:41] BalSak, hit enter a few times, many devices require you to "calibrate" the line speed that way [02:41] cdocbo; I'll use minicom & leave gtkterm 4 now [02:41] bahaa you got it [02:41] cdocbo; thanks [02:41] will try [02:41] bigdavjoker: If you're just managing a new external HDD, you could do away with lvm2. [02:41] hyperstream: you can download an iso and mount the iso as a cdrom and run windows that way and then install it into VirtualBox once you create a partition for it [02:41] TheCheeze: I think you have to install dontzap; that's the only way [02:41] HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan? [02:41] trism: how do you put kernels in /boot ? the only thing in there is 'grub' and 'memtest76+.bin' [02:42] does anyone here use the main menu screenlet in 9.10? [02:42] semitones, not in karmic. dontzap eosnt work anymore [02:42] Is my question clear? [02:42] zortec, thanks [02:42] cdocbo: minicom indicates I am "online", but no data [02:42] will bounce device [02:42] kinja-sheep, actually I'm replacing a laptop hard drive with new one due to failing HD I thought I might have better luck managing the partitions needed for dual boot with LVM would that be the wrong use? [02:42] i am on a fresh install so i have no idea what you are looking at semitones. can you screenshot and tinypic it? [02:42] spyder_: yeah, that would be why it doesn't find them, they should be installed there with ubuntu [02:42] Andorin, are you getting an IP [02:42] Hello. I have a radio plugged into my line in, and I can record it, and play the recording, but I cannot do live playback. Any way around this? [02:42] hyperstream: I don't know how to do it, but I've seen it done in a video from either LinuxJournal or Category5.tv I think. [02:42] semitones, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [02:42] bigdavjoker: I think so. [02:42] trism: i installed karmic earlier today, and rebooted it several times w/o issue [02:43] semitones, you SHOULD be in the keyboard prefferences window, under the layouts tab [02:43] trism: this last reboot came after installing nvidia drivers [02:43] does anyone here use the main menu screenlet in 9.10? [02:43] spyder_: why did you need to recover grub? [02:44] trism: after i installed the nvidia driver, i rebooted to "Error: you need to load the kernel first" [02:44] bigdavjoker: If you're going for OSes dualboot, you will want to resize the partitions to leave unallocated spaces for other OSes. I don't think LVM is what you're looking for. It is more of flexibility in control over hard drive storages (ie treat 10 HDDs as one gigantic partition, etc). [02:44] is there a known issue with intel 2200 wireless cards (centrino) and 802.1x networks? the connection works well, but it disconnects every few minutes by itself (for no apparent reason) [02:44] cdocbo; no dice [02:45] BalSak, you pressed enter several times? [02:45] spyder_: can you try a dpkg -l linux-image* in the chroot and see what you get? [02:45] apanda: What make/model? [02:45] kinja-sheep, thanks I was starting to wonder if I was really going down the right path or not [02:45] !dualboot | bigdavjoker [02:45] bigdavjoker: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:45] cdocbo: yea, I did. if it's connected,I get "9600 8N1 | NOR | Minicom 2.3 | VT102 | Online 00:01" & when I pull the power it switches to "offline" [02:46] trism: http://paste.novarata.net/index.php?id=20091217184428_29331 [02:46] semitones: are yu still there? [02:46] do you mean the laptop? the wireless card is the intel 2200bg, the APs i dont know, they are not mine :) [02:46] bigdavjoker: Use LiveCD (and install gparted to resize the partition). That's Gnome Partition Editor. [02:46] cdocbo: tried the same with the ALIX's documented default baud of 38400 [02:47] BalSak, so it has CTR/CTS singles, maybe your line speed is wrong. Try some others, press enter a give it a few seconds each time [02:47] semitones: I saw something before I leave check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [02:47] apanda: Yes, laptop [02:47] does anyone here use the main menu screenlet in 9.10? [02:47] spyder_: that would do it, your kernel packages all appear broken, how did you install these nvidia drivers? [02:47] kinja-sheep, thanks I'm famiar with gparted been running dual boot for a while just thought with the new drive lvm might help if I have to change partiions size again due to growth and trying to shrink window's partition [02:47] i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed... [02:48] trism: using the System > Administration > Hardware Drivers applet [02:48] spyder_: System/Administration/Hardware Drivers? [02:48] kinja-sheep, but if I plan right shouldn't be making changes [02:48] it's a sony vaio, i'll look up the complete name in a sec kinja-sheep [02:48] spyder_: yeah, that should be fine then, I don't know what happened here [02:48] cdocbo: thanks for the info; I'll try that [02:49] trism: would you recommend using apt-get to reinstall the kernel? [02:49] hi, guys. i can't get openarena to work in karmic. the 'fight' button won't work; it just takes me back to the starting screen. [02:49] anyone know if I can replace grub 2 with grub 1? [02:49] BalSak, and make sure flow control is off or hardware [02:50] spyder_: it is worth a shot, but I don't understand how installing the nvidia drivers from the repo could remove the kernel [02:50] kinja-sheep it's a sony vaio vgn-fs215b [02:50] trism: i don't either. the system was fully installed and had been rebooted more than once (and was working fine) [02:50] I installed newest ubuntu with grub 2 and now win 7 won't load [02:51] but on grub 1 it did [02:51] cdocbo: both hardware & sw controlis off [02:51] cdocbo, I had a few switches that wouldn't work unless I set the correct terminal settings, then powercycled the devices [02:51] binMonkey: Do you have dri working ok? [02:52] sigh, this channel is very technical but never seems to help me with newbie questions [02:52] thanks, trism ( off to reboot ) [02:52] soreau: mmmm. i don't know. how do i check? [02:52] apanda: Rat! Nothing about it in Ubuntu Hardware Support. You did checked Hardware Drivers under System --> Preferences/Administration? [02:53] BlueX, yes you can use either grub 1 or 2. But installing grub1 will not repair your MBR [02:53] binMonkey: What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer [02:53] cdocbo: my minicom's settings: http://pastebin.com/m69964bc9 [02:53] cdocbo, actually everytime I install os with grub 1 it does solve the problem [02:53] soreau: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 x86/MMX/SSE2 [02:54] sound for adobe flash is only coming out of my secondary soundcard (onboard). every mixer I have is configured to use the addon card (sb live 5.1) as primary. using 9.10, flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1, firefox 3.5.5 ... how do you set the primary audio output for flash? [02:54] binMonkey: Thats a good sign your drivers are ok [02:54] help running X in ubuntu server, I get this error when starting X... "Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)" [02:54] BalSak, you might also want to take and blank out the modem init string, not needed for this [02:55] soreau: thanks. [02:55] cdocbo??? sorry; u lost me a bit there. will check up on that quickly [02:55] binMonkey: Have you tried running OA in your terminal to see if it gives any interesting output when you try fight? [02:55] kinja-sheep, no i didnt check that yet (im on a different computer now), but as i said the wireless works fine until it drops in 802.1x networks, it keeps the connection to other networks (which i cant use without installing a cisco vpn client tho) [02:55] BalSak, in the config, look at the modem init string. something like ATZ Q0=1... etc. [02:55] soreau: ahhhhhhh. good idea! i'm reinstalling it right now. i'll try that in about ten minutes. [02:56] cdocbo, how do I install 9.10 with grub 1? [02:56] cdocbo: "Init string ......... ~^M~AT S7=45 S0=0 L1 V1 X4 &c1 E1 Q0^M" [02:56] I don't remember that option [02:56] binMonkey: Reinstalling from repos wont help anything unless its installing a different version [02:56] BlueX, you'll have to use the alternative CD [02:56] cdocbo: ahhh :"Reset string ........ ^M~ATZ^M~ " [02:56] BalSak, yes, just remove all that [02:56] cdocbo, this is a different download? [02:57] BlueX, yes [02:57] soreau: dang. i guess i'll try the .deb from their site. [02:57] cdocbo: from reset or init, or both? [02:57] anyone have any idea why my terminal freezes when I run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'? [02:57] BalSak, both, those strings are for dialup modems [02:57] hi [02:57] sweet. thnx [02:57] lhyna [02:57] BalSak, then restart both minicom, then power cycle the device [02:58] Has anyone seen anything like this graphical.. oddness? http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/6756/kwinfromcompiz1.png [02:58] binMonkey: You can however try removing the .openarena file from your home directory to reset all its settings to default === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [02:59] RobbieThe1st: That would appear to be a graphics card overheating. You got it overclocked or something like that? [02:59] does anyone here know anything about screenlets [02:59] soreau: you mean once it's installed? will it create a new config file? [02:59] Robbie_Crash, video memory corruption, either bad drivers or vram is going bad. [03:00] binMonkey: Yes, it will create a new settings folder in its place [03:00] hey EastDallas, you got a second to confirm that your tablet works on 9.10? I filed a bug but need it confirmed. :) [03:00] Odd thing is, it only happens with Kwin or Metacity. Using Compiz for the window manager and it works nicely [03:01] cdocbo: removed values, saved, quit, reloaded, bounced the ALIX, a few times .... no dice [03:01] cdocbo: but still getting online indicator [03:01] Robbie_Crash: Looks like graphics driver bug. Which do you use? [03:02] BalSak, are you're sure this cable is correct for the device? IE crossover or not. [03:02] when doing a dist-upgrade, is it smart to let debconf replace the changed conf file I have and then go back and change the settings back to what they were for 9.04. what I did was copy the changes from the diff file it showed me into a file so I knew what the old file had changed. I ask this because what if an conf file doesn't have some of the new settings in it that the new conf file has. [03:02] Its a Radeon 7500 Mobile(laptop) so I'm using the Radeon driver [03:02] cdocbo: yip. used the same cable on a windows box to test it w hyperterminal [03:02] BalSak, different box? [03:02] I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems. Using the livecd, installing it without going into Ubuntu, and check disk [03:02] integrity all had a blinking underscore or frozen loading screen. After a couple of attempts, I was able to get into the check disk option and it confirmed that my disk was okay. I then put the .iso on my usb drive. Although it was faster, it had the same problems. I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!) [03:02] glxinfo says that direct rendering: yes, so I think its working... [03:03] ! who | Robbie_Crash [03:03] Robbie_Crash: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:03] Damn it [03:03] & certain it's the correct port, case it's online/offline when I cycle devic e powwer [03:03] damn this channel [03:03] ! who | RobbieThe1st [03:03] RobbieThe1st: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:04] BalSak, Did you try 115200? [03:04] soreau, I saw a couple responces to my first message. I wasn't sure quite who was going to be helping me. [03:04] RobbieThe1st: direct rendering reporting yes doesn't mean anything. If compiz is working though, that means your drivers are at least capable or direct rendering (without swrast) [03:04] when doing a dist-upgrade, is it smart to let debconf replace the changed conf file I have and then go back and change the settings back to what they were for 9.04. what I did was copy the changes from the diff file it showed me into a file so I knew what the old file had changed. I ask this because what if an conf file doesn't have some of the new settings in it that the new conf file has. [03:04] BalSak: same result [03:05] I need to get a newer version of libboost on my Ubuntu. Is there anyway without installing a newer distro? [03:05] (and building from source, so I mean anyway using aptitude :P) [03:05] RobbieThe1st: You can try asking in #radeon if anyone has seen such a thing. Typically the problem is with compiz not without it so that's interesting [03:05] if i told debconf to keep the old conf file [03:05] BalSak, are you running minicom as root? [03:05] hello everyone [03:05] does anyone know how to change the color depth in ubuntu? (I already asked, just doublechecking) [03:06] cdocbo: correct. & if I cat /dev/ttyS0, I don't see anything (not sure if I should) [03:06] I have a problem with my graphics on my laptop. My computer keeps telling me that there are no graphics devices detected and boots me in low graphics mode [03:06] davidcramer, if there is no newer version of it in synaptic then you'll have to look for a packaged .deb for compile from source [03:06] soreau, Yea, I know. Its really odd.Thanks for letting me know about #radeon, I'll ask in there [03:06] I've tried reinstalling the drivers buy it keeps telling me that there is no adapter detected [03:06] * davidcramer digs around for a .deb [03:06] BalSak, hexdump -C /dev/ttyS0 and powercycle the device [03:06] semitones: good to ask again maybe someone could help [03:07] bahaa: that's what I'm hoping. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be a good guide on how to do things xorg.conf used to do but I'm still searching [03:07] semitones: did you figure out anything frome the page I gave you?? [03:07] Is this for the hardcore linux users ? :) [03:07] is there a way I can get access to this package? http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libboost-dev [03:07] RobbieThe1st: You probably wont get much help unless you report all your system info [03:07] bahaa: I read it, but it just said to use HAL, without giving specifics [03:08] so we' [03:08] re still looking === skynet is now known as test00065654654 [03:08] soreau, I'll try [03:08] Phill, just ask your question, sure one of 1300 people might know [03:08] semitones:wait I'll give you another one [03:08] ..becasuse we're all reading this channel without missing a line [03:08] cdocbo: I can't find the stylus or mouse...I plugged it in--no error or anything...I'll look for the stylus tomorrow and let you know. [03:08] cdocbo: nothing [03:09] semitones: check this one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [03:09] I don't have a question :) Just installed the XChat gnome irc client [03:09] EastDallas, thanks, if it doesn't work, please add confirmed to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008 [03:09] all levels of core stiffness are found here [03:09] semitones: have you ever heard about a program called argy? [03:09] is there a hexeditor installed by default in ubuntu? i just found hexdump [03:10] Kardos: :-) [03:10] =D [03:10] bahaa: ok, so dontzap doesn't work anymore, alright, that makes sense [03:11] BalSak, did you check your bios, some have a virtual serial port for bios access and might be causing problems. [03:11] I have a problem with my graphics on my laptop. My computer keeps telling me that there are no graphics devices detected and boots me in low graphics mode [03:11] If this is of use to anyone, the ZSNES emulator works great through Wine ^^ [03:11] cdocbo: suspected something like that [03:11] hehe zsnes [03:11] * Kardos recalls the days of snes9x === nick_ is now known as Guest9913 [03:11] semitones: you seem that you didn't read all of it(and you have the right) but it says that you can activate it === Guest9913 is now known as lazydragoon [03:12] bahaa: activate it using hal? [03:12] semitones: but it kills the x window [03:12] hi all - i'm trying to reformat my sd card - for the command to work i need to know the location of it. how can i find out where it is please? [03:12] bahaa: dang, I suck at reading [03:13] semitones: using keyboard shortcuts alt+ctrl+bspace [03:13] (not using a usb card reader btw) [03:13] andyzammy1, check dmesg when you plug it in. [03:13] semitones: but don't [03:13] cdocbo: what is dmesg? [03:13] andyzammy1: sudo fdisk -l [03:13] semitones: press them [03:13] when they're activated [03:13] andyzammy1: that will show you the device label [03:13] andyzammy1, open a terminal, type dmesg, look at the end and it should say something like new media detected on /dev/sg1 (for example) [03:14] yeah I wouldn't want to restart X right now! [03:14] andyzammy1: you can also check your media directory for it [03:14] cdocbo. evon, thanks for ur replies, that did the trick! :) [03:14] (Reasking) I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems. Using the livecd, installing it without going into Ubuntu, and [03:14] check disk integrity all had a blinking underscore or frozen loading screen. After a couple of attempts, I was able to get into the check disk option and it confirmed that my disk was okay. I then put the .iso on my usb drive. Although it was faster, it had the same problems. I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!) [03:14] andyzammy1, yw [03:15] is anyone else having trouble with openarena in karmic? [03:15] andyzammy1: NP [03:15] can I ssh and save a screenshot? (display=:0.0) [03:15] I have a problem with my graphics on my laptop. My computer keeps telling me that there are no graphics devices detected and boots me in low graphics mode [03:15] semitones: ok but there's this program argyll [03:15] I've tried reinstalling the drivers buy it keeps telling me that there is no adapter detected [03:15] semitones: it seems to be good [03:15] soreau: i tried pulling the config file and running from terminal and it looks ok. it just won't let me start a game. [03:16] bahaa: what does it do? [03:16] semitones: I installed it but I want to try it because [03:16] semitones: it changes the display profile or something like that [03:16] nice [03:17] someone know how to go in system config in ubuntu ? [03:17] I tried multiple programs, but all want to be run locally [03:17] semitones:is a command line only collection of tools. Argyll CMS covers a wide range of needs from source or output characterization to monitor LUT loading and more. Argyll CMS is still not available as a package in many Linux distributions today, but a generic x86 Linux binary installation is available from the web site, along with source code. There is also one GUI which eases the calibration of LCD and CRT monitors with Argyll, called [dispcalGUI]. [03:17] lazydragoon, system config for what? [03:17] lazydragoon, what version of ubuntu [03:17] set up pulaudio to delete [03:17] for sky [03:17] skype &* [03:17] lazydragoon, you mean the gconf editor? [03:18] Did someone ask for a hex editor? [03:18] because in skype i can't set up my headset only pulaudio is the iption [03:18] option * [03:18] cmd-line screenshot? (ssh) [03:18] bahaa: I feel like there's some setting that we're missing though [03:18] lazydragoon, pulseaudio is just a wrapper around alsa, so if selecting pulseaudio wont work, try with another microfone or sth [03:19] bahaa: because you used to just go into xorg.conf, and write what you wanted your display depth to be [03:19] o [03:19] does karmic have a gnome volume mixer anymore? [03:19] well my microphone is usb [03:19] "volume control" in the panel opens up Sound Preferences - not the same thing [03:19] there's no way to change CD volume for example [03:20] semitones: I'll try the GUI of argyll and see what happens [03:20] kk [03:20] Is my question clear? [03:20] HI :) is it possible to use a device on another computer with an application on this one, just as if the device was plugged in here? For example, i have a netbook with a webcam, but i would like to use it with an application on my desktop. Can i do this over a lan? [03:21] slix yes i asked for a hexeditor, if one was preinstalled.. [03:21] ? [03:21] lazydragoon, hmmm, i think something is need for usb audio stuff [03:21] Drknzz: o really [03:21] apanda: I was looking through the Ubuntu Software Center and saw one in the programming section. [03:21] Drknzz: do you know what it is because in amsn all work great [03:21] lazydragoon, gimme a minute :) [03:21] Drknzz: thanks very apreciate [03:22] bahaa: check this out, this might be how to do it http://www.slackbook.org/html/x-window-system-xinitrc.html [03:23] ok [03:23] thanks slix, but that means i'd have to install it, right? i thought it would come with a hexeditor installed [03:23] vnc without the alert [03:23] any ideas? [03:23] i am having issues rebranding 3.5.7 from shiretoko to firefox in karmic ubuntu. is there somehting I am missing? i have the rebranding packages installed... [03:23] apanda: Yeah, you'd have to install it. I don't know if Ubuntu comes with a hex editor. [03:23] acovrig, xwd -root > screenshot.xwdump [03:24] ok thanks then.. i'm pretty sure that i can use some preinstalled program as a hexeditor, but apparently nobody knows :D [03:25] cdocbo, "unable to open display ''" [03:25] acovrig, yeah, you need to setup the XAUTHORITY properly [03:26] I need display :0.0, I am using ssh (without -X) [03:26] how [03:26] acovrig, assuming you have root, sudo username - [03:26] acovrig, then export DISPLAY=:0.0 [03:27] lazydragoon, i think i found some stuff, but i need to keep on reading a bit more [03:27] Drknzz: ok thanks [03:27] apanda, you can use vim -b [03:27] does it show anything on :0.0, or just beep? [03:27] lazydragoon, try checking your veolume levels, just in case ;) [03:27] acovrig, it doesn't do anything [03:27] it beeps... [03:27] 2 times [03:28] acovrig, not on my system. :-/ [03:28] lol [03:28] acovrig, you redirected it to a file right? [03:29] acovrig, add -silent [03:29] can I vnc without the notification of (Another user is controlling your desktop\n)? [03:29] semitones: check this [03:29] Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 [03:29] The DontZap option in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file enables or disables the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE shortcut to restart the X-server. In previous Ubuntu releases, this shortcut was enabled by default, however this has changed with 9.04 "Jaunty", as a number of users have complained about accidentally restarting their X-Server. [03:29] You can install the dontzap package and use the command dontzap --disable, or you can manually edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, [03:29] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:29] bahaa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:29] seems acovrig is trying to spy on people [03:29] ok, I saved it as a .png, can't tell if it worked yet, though, kinda hard if you have 512MB RAM [03:29] lol [03:29] (Reasking) I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems. Using the livecd, installing it without going into Ubuntu, and [03:29] check disk integrity all had a blinking underscore or frozen loading screen. After a couple of attempts, I was able to get into the check disk option and it confirmed that my disk was okay. I then put the .iso on my usb drive. Although it was faster, it had the same problems. I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!) [03:29] Drknzz: ok i found someonthing about in the volume i have mic 1 mic 2 and line in but all not have any sound when i tlk in my mic [03:30] just wanting to see if the cp is bing used when I ssh [03:30] lazydragoon, is there any option to set each of them as default? (ignore line-in) [03:30] yes the -silent worked [03:30] Drknzz: umm let me take a look [03:31] semitones: it's in the address I gave you [03:31] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [03:31] bahaa: I checked, and that doesn't work anymore as of 9.10 [03:31] Hello, i have a few problems with WIne and a game. I can get the game running totally fine, BUT the mouse leaves the window in virtual desktop mode, and all keyboard input goes to the terminal in fullscreen mode [03:31] Drknzz: only choose what i want to be use like mic 1 or mic 2 i can set what i want be use [03:31] bahaa: sorry I missed what you said earlier -- I'm using irssi, and I can't scroll up [03:32] semitones: ok then how can I install a package that [03:32] what would cause a app to work in crossover (wine for mac), and not in ubuntu 8.0.4 wine? [03:32] !dontzap | bahaa semitones [03:32] bahaa semitones: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [03:32] lazydragoon, try recording a sound with each of those 2 and identify which one is the usb one [03:32] ok [03:32] semitones: I pasted the section that I thought would make you use dontzap on 9.10 [03:32] acovrig, wine and crossover are not the same (different code bases) [03:32] cdocbo, thanks.. i thought vim wasnt installed because the vim command doesnt work, only vi as i have now found out ;) [03:32] The game i'm trying to get work is kotor 2 [03:32] acovrig: crossover is a crap piece of software. [03:32] semitones: pgup/pgdown will work in irssi, or you can do esc + p, esc + n if you don't have the keys [03:33] hi [03:33] hi [03:33] trism: thank you so much [03:33] ih [03:33] Shiba, you can say that again (I have to use parallels desktop) [03:33] acovrig: wine and its derivative products are nearly worthless [03:33] i wanna get the latest ubuntu kernel version and using thi as a reference: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelGitGuide [03:33] ubottu: we know it but we want to adjust the color depth [03:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:33] ok [03:33] acovrig: wine is only good for application developers that want to quickly port their software from Windows to Linux [03:34] kinja-sheep: we want to adjust the color depth [03:34] why do i have to specify the name of the release, when i want to get the latest development version? [03:34] I am 'forced' to use wine when I don't have enough ram to 'duel' boot [03:34] Anybody? [03:34] bourbon [03:34] acovrig: uhm. 'duel' boot? [03:34] acovrig: RAM is cheap. [03:34] ubottu: no problem I'm new to linux but I'm trying. [03:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:34] avelldiroll: you need more ram to dual boot? [03:34] run XP in ubuntu [03:35] err acovrig [03:35] I can run XP in OSX (2GB) [03:35] ubottu: sorry I didn't realize you were talking to some one called error [03:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:35] heh [03:35] the ubuntu has 512MB RAM, and a AMD Athalon Processer, and a SiS "graphics" car [03:35] acovrig: another sad solution. I can run XP in 256MB RAM I believe though [03:35] Drknzz: none of those work [03:35] semitones: I installed a program that may work [03:35] XP in Ubuntu = Virtualizartion. desktop=VirtualBox, server=KVM [03:35] Ahoy, I'm trying to do what the "hide" button on gnome-panels does from the command line. That is, top/bottom bar hiding. I've figured out I can sort of cheat and change autohide options through gconf-editor, but there must be some way to do what the arrows actually do. Suggestions? [03:36] alright, I've got to run now [03:36] acovrig: thats a woefully underpowered machine [03:36] bahaa thanks for all your help [03:36] Hello, i have a few problems with WIne and a game. I can get the game running totally fine, BUT the mouse leaves the window in virtual desktop mode, and all keyboard input goes to the terminal in fullscreen mode. I'm looking for a little help here... [03:36] semitones: but I installed it as a package [03:36] lazydragoon, weird, try desconecting the usb mic and see if any devices are listed [03:36] semitones: sorry you couldn't do it [03:36] semitones: but wait a minute [03:36] acovrig: go buy a netbook with Windows XP on it and run apps on it using remote desktop [03:36] bahaa it's ok, I'll be able to fix it later [03:37] see ya [03:37] semitones: there is a program that may help [03:37] Drknzz: i can select the mic 1 and mic 2 [03:37] again [03:37] semitones: just let me give you the name [03:37] alright [03:37] lazydragoon, re-open the dialog so it re-scans ;) [03:37] semitones:http://hoech.net/dispcalGUI/#download [03:37] Drknzz: o i plug it back and now i got my usb name [03:37] thanks [03:38] anyway. I'm on this horrible WAN uplink with pitiful bandwidth. [03:38] semitones: that were you can download the package [03:38] burkmat_: If you know the gconfi-editor code to hide the panels, then I suppose you could write a simple script. [03:38] semitones: you're welcome and sorry againg [03:38] Shiba, wrong channel, but can I re-install XP from a USB? [03:38] hey, you helped a lot [03:38] lazydragoon, Somehow, thats a n advancement [03:38] lazydragoon, xD [03:38] :) later [03:38] I'm having trouble getting my notebook to recognize my TV via s-video properly. I plug it in and it flickers and goes sorta haywire [03:38] acovrig: uh, no. [03:38] kinja-sheep, The issue is I don't actually have the gconf code. I can enable auto-hide and cheat that way, but there must be a way to do it properly! [03:38] Drknzz: reopen the dialog ? [03:39] semitones: later (: [03:39] !windows | acovrig [03:39] acovrig: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [03:39] Nobody has responded to my boot help request :( Where can I go for help on this? I'd really like to use Ubuntu more often. [03:39] lazydragoon, just close the program and go to system prefrences sound agin ;) [03:39] Anyone have problems with wine not capturing keyboard input? [03:39] acovrig: You might have better support in installing Windows via USB there. [03:39] burkmat_: Where is it under gconf-editor/ [03:39] Drknzz: ok can i set the sound of the voice in my headphone ? [03:40] :o [03:40] partition error, XP gone, 'burn' cd to usb, boot, install? [03:40] acovrig: thats an exercise in S&M. don't go there. :) [03:40] kinja-sheep, /apps/panel/toplevels [03:40] lazydragoon, reformulate that, couldnt understand :p [03:40] Drknzz: sorry my english suck sometime [03:40] hello all, where can i find sun-java5-jdk. its not in apt anymore? [03:40] burkmat_: I don't have gconf-editor so I'm installing it. Hold on. :o [03:40] Shiba, S&M? [03:41] lazydragoon XD, mine too, so dont worry at all [03:41] acovrig: sadomasochism [03:41] how do you not have gconf-editor? [03:41] :) [03:41] Drknzz: ok i want the sound of the voice of skype to be in my headphone [03:41] ? [03:41] i'm slow [03:41] (Reasking) I'm having trouble booting. It seems that every time I start up, there is a 50% chance for one of the following to happen: endless blinking underscore or the loading screen afterwards freezes. I attempted to make a new livecd and reinstall from that. I confirmed the md5 hashes of both the .iso and the files on the cd. While using the livecd, i had the same problems.

I then came back to my already-installed Kubuntu (it took 6 tries to boot up! 2 blinking underscores, 3 frozen loading screens!) [03:41] where can i find jaava5-jdk? [03:41] acovrig: Machiavellian S&M that is :) [03:42] lazydragoon, you'll have to set-up your headset as the default output any time you want that to happen [03:42] bikcmp: it'll be java 6 [03:42] acovrig: don't try it at home. Installing XP from USB isn't supported by Microsoft and will in all likelihood be waste of a week [03:42] root@source1:~# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [03:42] Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, [03:42] burkmat_: This require some RTFM on my part since I haven't used it for long time. [03:42] what is the codename for it? [03:42] cant find it [03:43] bikcmp: apt-cache search java === KB1JWQ_ is now known as KB1JWQ [03:43] slix: what you describe is not a well known failure mode, which is presumably why no-one has responded. My guess is it's something about your hardware that interacts badly with ubuntu. It will be very hard to diagnose. I assume windows boots flawlessly on this machine? [03:43] who too much lol [03:43] losha: Yes. :( [03:43] Drknzz: ok but only the voice in the headphone and the rest in my speaker [03:43] acovrig: I gotta go, my WAN uplink is killer. literally. 800ms pings to google. [03:43] how is the best way to run XP in ubuntu 8.0.4 netbook? [03:43] kinja-sheep, Well, it just strikes me as weird that I can't find anything relevant there. Auto-hide and such can be found, but no simple boolean dictating "hidden" or not... Odd. [03:44] acovrig: don't. [03:44] apt-get install default-jdk [03:44] should work? [03:44] lol, I have XP programs I have to run... [03:44] guys is there an easy way to view the kernel code or other program code? [03:44] burkmat_: Which value? auto_hide ? [03:44] acovrig: your netbook is too resource limited to run any VM [03:44] lazydragoon, idk, maybe we can look into that afer this/ [03:44] Well, this is a bit difficult.. If it is my hardware, I either give up on Ubuntu or figure out why. [03:44] And replacing it will be even harder. [03:44] Drknzz: ok [03:44] lazydragoon, check this out; http://www.blog.arun-prabha.com/2008/05/23/skype-microphone-problem-and-complete-pulse-audio-setup-in-ubuntu/ [03:44] acovrig: do a true dual boot setup, or buy a second netbook [03:44] i have a few problems with WIne and a game. I can get the game running totally fine, BUT the mouse leaves the window in virtual desktop mode, and all keyboard input goes to the terminal in fullscreen mode. I'm looking for a little help here... [03:44] lazydragoon, it aint for karmic, but it might work [03:45] kinja-sheep, Well, what I would like is a value called "hide" that just does what the arrows do, but there's nothing like it. That's what I'm looking for. [03:45] bahaa: you can get the source to any program in the repository by doing an apt-get source package_name (it will download and unpack the source in the current directory) [03:45] hi folks: How do I remove the standby and hibernate button from the list of shutdown options (e.g. when you press the power button)?

[03:47] http://pastebin.com/m4fdd3f0c [03:47] terinjokes: are you using the right compiler? [03:48] bahaa: no, I said, type: apt-get source package_name, and it will download the code into the current directory; for instance, if I wanted to code to tinyscheme, it would be apt-get source tinyscheme [03:48] burkmat_: Okay, you wanted bottom and top to autohide (true), right? [03:48] !java | bikcmp [03:48] bikcmp: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:48] PrototypeX29A: i assume so, no where in the instructions does it say to switch [03:48] terinjokes: sorry i misread somethinng [03:48] bahaa: likewise, the source for the current karmic kernel would be apt-get source linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic [03:48] slix: you could try other distros: fedora, bsd. Or a 3rd. party bootloader. Or run ubuntu inside virtualbox under windows. You could start by running a memtest overnight [03:49] kinja-sheep, No. You know the "arrows" to the left and right of top/bottom bars that you can enable in Rightclick -> Show Hide buttons? [03:50] A thirdparty bootloader, as in not grub2? [03:50] where is the multiverae repoitory? [03:50] trism: ok great but I don't want to download the kernel while I'm using ubuntu 9.10 so it's on my computer so can't I simply see the kernel's code on my machine? [03:50] burkmat_: I see it.

I already know I could use gconf-editor to alter autohide settings, but I want to do what the "arrow" does. That is, not autohide down/up, but the animation and "going away" to the sides.

(privmsg or use 'tmbg' to get my attention if you have an answer please) [03:54] Drknzz: with more option than mine [03:54] Im connected through the internet with multiple interfaces (lan and 3g) is there a way i can combine them to have like.. a bigger bandwith? [03:54] Led Zeppelin babyyyyyyyyyy [03:55] Alan502: not enough to make a serious difference [03:55] slix: never had to use one personally. But see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_boot_loaders [03:55] PrototypeX29A: i'll see what i can't do [03:55] got it working [03:55] thanks [03:55] burkmat_: I see what you mean. I suppose it is not possible because the devs didn't include a trigger for that. However, it is possible to turn on/off auto_hide triggers in commands. [03:56] chuckf, well, then, can i configure an app to use one interface and some other app to use the other one? [03:56] install the versions on the repos man [03:56] trism: I like the Idea of kernel.org I get the plain text of the kernel from there right! thank you. [03:56] Alan502: depends on the app. is your lan connection really that bad? [03:56] Urgh, this is going to be difficult.

I was hoping to avoid that, but I guess unless I find some other trigger to use (like a script buried somewhere) I'll have to hack together a script to alter autohide options... Anyways, need to restart X after screwing up the config, thanks. o/ [03:57] !pastebin | turkeyshoot [03:57] turkeyshoot: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [03:57] hi, I run Ubuntu on Wubi, and my partition (17G) is almost full, like 100MB free - what is the easiest solution? Most of the used space is updates and extra apps,I guess, because I hardly have any media files on this platform, is there a ay to reset to "standard Ubuntu", for example? [03:57] how do i remount a hard drive partition i unmounted? [03:58] nstaven1321: mount [03:58] nstaven1321: as i said mount device location, also see man mount [03:58] or sudo mount [03:58] burkmat: "gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel_screen0/auto_hide true && gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide true" [03:58] after upgrading to 9.10, the boot-up hangs at the small white ubuntu symbol. What can I do? [03:58] it wont let me mount it [03:58] slix: Hmm. it might not. I would try bsd next. It's not even a linux variant, completely different kernel... [03:58] Alan502: probably the best thing to do is configure a proxy server locally and have it use one interface or the other [03:58] im using gparted [03:58] burkmat: That will toggle on. Use that and make a script out of it. No problem. Good luck. :o [03:58] nstaven1321: mount [partition] [03:58] i face this error http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32759620/pict0180.jpg [03:58] then point your app to the appropriate proxy or not [03:58] nstaven1321: dont use gparted, use mount [03:58] how to i install something i downloaded from a .zip file?

[03:59] nstaven1321: yes [03:59] its just not being recognized [03:59] I think I'll deal with this issue for now (it only seems to manifest on bootup) and make a post on the Ubuntu forums.

[04:01] greghamen: why would you want to use line-in for that, use line-out [04:02] iceroot_: and you never get it to hang with just 1gb of ram [04:02] grndslm: yes, dont need swap here [04:02] i am using the main menu screenlet in ubuntu 9.10 but some of the buttons at the bottom of the menu panel are too small and you cannot read them [04:02] grndslm: no [04:02] iceroot_: nice... i guess i'll just have to give it up since i've got 3gb :D [04:02] iceroot_: what's this i hear about trim only working with win7.. is this true? [04:02] Hilikus, I have the radio plugged into that port, and my headphones on the line out, but can't hear the radio, but can record it [04:03] grndslm: what is trim? and what is win7? :) [04:03] iceroot_: hah... trim support helps keep the ssd clean and FAST [04:03] or so i hear [04:03] grndslm: that is a hrdware-thing, not a thjing of the os [04:03] grndslm: hardware [04:03] greghamen: how would making the line-in port an output port fix that?? [04:04] i figured so, but some people alluded that trim support was only actually "supported" in win7 [04:04] perhaps i read wrong [04:04] greghamen: you just want the line-in port to crossover to line-out? === crunchbang is now known as Guest78504 === Guest78504 is now known as mcKitteh [04:04] Hilikus, thats not what I meant. I don't want to change the line-in port to output, I just want to hear whats coming in on line-in on line-out [04:05] Drknzz: thanks for your help without you i never be abble to done that [04:05] greghamen: oh ok. did you try playnig with alsamixer?

[04:14] monokrome, not directly, dbus uses local sockets iirc [04:14] look up org.freedesktop.Notifications [04:14] weird... I didn't have libnotify installed. [04:15] ok. Thank you, cn28h.

[04:37] interesting question, the . doesn't work? [04:37] export PATH=$PATH:. [04:38] but . isn't in the path by default because of security implications [04:38] clearly a bad idea from a security standpoint, but nonetheless...

[04:40] you need the export [04:40] sure, looks like it will do what you want, the thread I pasted seems to indicate you are on the right, uh, path.

The screen is blank, anyone have any ideas how I can recover? I'm in my virtual terminal, and I can't seem to find the correct process.

Cuz I'm a minimalist at heart [04:49] madcat1990: ratpoison is designed for keyboard input [04:49] @Prototypex29A: Then no mouse support? [04:49] brova: you are correct. You can append to your current $PATH variable by running the command: export PATH=$PATH:/some/dir/bin [04:49] gaelfx2, what parts? [04:49] madcat1990: there is mouse support, but it is for people who don't like mice [04:49] thiebaude: motherboard, gpu and a decently priced cpu [04:50] zomGreg: what does the export do? i was never taught this command. i find that to answer all my questions i have had to spend 10 hours on google lol [04:50] then, when you try to execute programs in /some/dir/bin, you will be able to do so just like you can from dirs that are in your path by default.

[04:56] Evildeed, i tried mint 8, its pretty good [04:56] tmbg, hmm [04:56] VirtualBox 3.1 is a nice upgrade, Ubuntu running much easier under it ;) [04:57] free software is awesome! =D [04:57] Hello. I'm trying out ubuntu on dualboot with Windows and really enjoy it so far. However, I really need to be able to play Windows games. I know of Wine, but how do I use it? Are there tools to make it easier? I've heard of PlayOnLinux.. [04:57] !wine [04:57] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:57] @Slix : no offense, but, in my experience, Linux isn't for gaming [04:58] good unRAR prog ? winrar have one ? [04:58] * zomGreg agrees with madcat [04:58] best to dual boot if you want to game [04:58] ping command it give some output... here what does mean time? [04:58] yeah mint is damn good thiebaude [04:58] madcat1990, i also agree with that [04:58] Quan-Time: installing the unrar package will give standard Ubuntu decompresser RAR functionality [04:58] instead of dual booting i'm actually using windows as a host with virtualbox and running ubuntu as a guest, works great [04:58] but how is its perofrmance? [04:58] thanks to those who agree with me [04:58] Callum_: cheers [04:58] Evildeed, mint is offtopic here [04:58] Oh man.. that changes things.. [04:58] :( [04:58] i did not find its channel [04:58] @Evildeed : put it with EXT4 (4 isn't it?) and it'll be faster than a speeding bullet [04:59] Evildeed, someone was saying thats what ubuntu should of been [04:59] !mintsupport > Evildeed [04:59] Evildeed, please see my private message [04:59] pulseaudioprefs from padevchooser allows creating a virtual output device that muxes to all local sound cards. that may work for me [04:59] i am the ops in that channel [04:59] Anyone familiar with lynx? If a php file, when executed, updates a database table should doing lynx -dump http://ipaddress/file.php update the table or print results in the shell? [05:00] Evildeed, thiebaude lets move non-ubuntu support chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:00] @beerkid : Wait, what? [05:00] :( That really changes things... If I have to restart my computer just to get to a game, this setup won't work. [05:00] beerkid: That has everything to do with the PHP file, and nothing to do with the browser. [05:00] bazhang, i sure agree, sorry about that, i know better [05:00] thiebaude, pm [05:00] i'll stick to ubuntu [05:01] hi there.got any solution to capture packages on wan port? [05:01] Evildeed, i dont have pm enabled on xchat, but thanks [05:01] good nite folks [05:01] G'night thie [05:01] superwisor_wanna: tcpdump? [05:01] @beerkid I'd assume you'd see the results of the php execution, i.e perhaps the sql response, like 10 rows updated etc [05:01] well it's set to mux both but not getting output from both cards. at least I have some other angles to attack it with. thanks koston! [05:02] wgrant, madcat1990 i have the tricky task of trying to run a cron job for a php file which when run in the browser has a parameter appended to it like ?query=ubuntu but the filename is file.php [05:02] @Beerkid : Everything PHP Based is executed on the server, all you see is what you program it to export [05:02] can some one help me pidgin keeps randomly closing [05:02] Let's say I just wanted to see how Ubuntu worked with games... [05:02] hi everybody [05:02] i would like to capture packages on my wan port,so may I store them?wifi hackers rootkited my whole house,so now use wifi and internet on another channel [05:02] Slix: then use a live cd [05:03] and use a usb stick to save the games [05:03] wana know what are they doing [05:03] ...? [05:03] someone recommended i do 0 * * * * lynx -dump http://ipaddress/apache/file.php?query=ubuntu to make it work [05:03] @Slix: Wine interprets Windows executables, translates them to "linux" language, then executes them, do the math, it might be slower! [05:03] @Slix: You have been warned [05:03] beerkid: I would use curl, but OK. What doesn't work? [05:03] got a switch.is it possible to sniff wan with it? [05:03] madcat1990, yeah.. I know. :( [05:03] i cant get the job to actually execute [05:03] what would be a good chat room to talk about buliding a desktop to act as a file server/print server/ local webserver that would run ubuntu server [05:03] ? [05:04] superwisor_wanna: use ip tables and get a firewall? [05:04] superwisor_wanna: a packet sniffer would work [05:04] Just trying to figure out whether to use a wine third party app.. [05:04] @Slix: Third party app will cost money [05:04] @Slix : Wine is free, don't expect it to work flawlessly [05:04] anyone? [05:05] @FishLightDesign : think this would be it [05:05] Hi, I downloaded Deluge, but when I download a torrent in firefox, it only gives me the option to open it with only Transmission not Deluge. [05:05] ok cool [05:05] FishLightDesign: Have you taken a look at the channel list? [05:05] yeah [05:05] i figured this would be a good place to start [05:05] madcat1990, Some of them are free.. [05:05] packet sniffer can capture packages for store them? [05:05] @beerkid why would you run the cron task through a browser? [05:06] @Slix: Cedega is commercial, has better compatibility gamewise, but we can't support you there [05:06] something like /usr/bin/php /home/username/example.com/myscript.php [05:06] superwisor_wanna: im sure you can find one on google i dont think there is any packages im not 100% sure but it'd be smartter to build your onw [05:06] own* [05:06] what about nmap? [05:07] ok, so let me start off by saying what I am doing... I am an IT kid and basic web programmer at cakewebsites, a cool web company. I came in there and was superized that they were running a horrible vista machine as thier file server and backing up to a raid LACIE thing that wasent working [05:07] coolierewind: I'm trying to set it up through command line, which I am new to [05:07] @beerkid 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/script/file.php "ubuntu" [05:07] I'm hearing a lot of different opinions about wine.. [05:07] i have an issue with an application i installed using the Ubuntu Software Center, if anyone is available and can read the output from when i execute the program and possibly offer me an insight into what the error is saying and possible solutions, please message me, Thanks [05:07] superwisor_wanna: i dont know i have never used it [05:07] @beerkid http://www.developertutorials.com/blog/php/running-php-cron-jobs-regular-scheduled-tasks-in-php-172/ [05:07] so i said "you should let me build you guys a linux server that won't crash like your stupid vista computer." [05:07] jah: pm me [05:07] @Slix: in my opinion, wine is good, not perfect though. It does what its suposed to do and is updated regularly. [05:08] got a question for you guys. I'm on stickam and the chat looks all white and I cant see the menus and bars and sometimes it wont let me type [05:08] in karmic, which file does the new gdm thing use to remember my default desktop environment? [05:08] she was like "ok, just tell me how much" [05:08] What to do? [05:08] @slix: you gotta face reality here ;D [05:08] FishLightDesign: i can help if you wanna pm me [05:08] do I need to update a driver or something? [05:08] FishLightDesign, was there an ubuntu support question in there? [05:08] so i have been starting to price thing [05:08] oh, uh idk [05:08] FishLightDesign, if you just wish to chat then join #ubuntu-offtopic please ; this is Ubuntu support only. [05:08] Reality is that Ubuntu is useless for me without games :( [05:08] nullbyte: Could we perhaps start a temporary channel? I am interested... [05:08] ? [05:08] ok [05:08] cool [05:08] thnks [05:09] LATER! [05:09] FishLightDesign: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:09] sorrry [05:09] Can anyone help me with a sound issue? [05:09] its a bot, but it has an @ so :P be carefull [05:09] tenach: sure you pick it [05:09] I have a 5,3 MacBook Pro? [05:09] @Cmojallali: What's up? [05:10] FishLightDesign, nullbyte ##server-setup [05:10] where are ufw rules stored? [05:10] ok so I just installed Ubuntu and i have a unibody MBP 5,3 [05:11] @Cmojallali: go on [05:11] i did what this website told me to do :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Karmic#Sound [05:11] but still no luck, ive tried a bunch of times [05:13] coolierewind: does that require #!usr/bin/php at the beginning of the php file? [05:13] or just in crontab? [05:14] @beerkid that's the binary to execute it [05:14] i put coolierewind on ignore [05:14] what exactly is the export command ? i cant make sense of this. [05:15] huh? @excrete why? [05:15] so that is a yes? sorry im on my training wheels [05:15] i also put brova on ignore [05:15] So is there a way to disable pulseaudio without removing it and mucking up my dependencies? [05:15] and i put beerkid on ignore [05:15] excrete, did you have a support question [05:15] * excrete puts piroko on ignore [05:15] * excrete also puts bazhang on ignore [05:15] excrete, please stop that [05:15] bazhang: it's a troll [05:15] i put lstarnes on ignore [05:16] lstarnes, thanks [05:16] did anyone else lose mythtv-backend after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10? [05:16] i put Hilikus on ignore [05:17] thanks bahzang [05:17] its kinda discouraging to learn linux having people like him around [05:18] is there a way to reinstall default config files for packages? [05:19] did anyone else lose mythtv-backend after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10? [05:20] Hilikus: #mythbuntu [05:20] karmic has not automatically asked to install the nvidia driver. How should i do it myself? [05:21] telaviv: Have you tried sudo apt-get update? [05:21] I tried sudo apt-get alife but it told me I had broken packages ;-) [05:22] The Great Firewall of China will block 80% foreign IP address next year!!! [05:22] I tried sudo apt-get girlfriend but the dependencies were too harsh [05:22] strangely nothing. This is a fresh install and i haven't been asked about updates yet. I changed repository source though maybe that has something to do with it [05:22] is the opensource nvidia driver outputing s-video these days or still nothing? [05:22] #nvidia [05:23] The nvidia driver is way better than it used to be for installation. [05:23] telaviv: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers ? [05:24] yeah nothing jarray52. Oddly enough the live cd automatically recognized and asked about it [05:24] telaviv: What did it ask? [05:24] what i have do to recover grub after install windows? [05:25] !recovergrub | nicknamee [05:25] i acess grub comand line and root (hd0,0) find stage1 but.. file stage not found [05:25] brova, I answered your export question above...are you still confused? [05:25] !recoveringgrub | nicknamee [05:25] nicknamee: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [05:26] jarray52: the "hardware drivers" icon appeared at the top right and said something about non-free drivers and that ubuntu couldn't fix them if they don't work, yaddah yaddah :) [05:26] i try chroot reiserfs partition and grub-install /dev/sdax and not works because /dev/ hddevices not found [05:26] zomGreg: yes i am [05:26] Hi guys... how can i extend folder size limit? [05:26] ok. if you don't "export" the variable, it will only be available in your current shell [05:27] exporting tells child shells about that variable. [05:27] but the variable will only persist in your current session. If you log off and come back, the variable will disappear. [05:29] but, in light of the amount of time you have before your test...if they didn't cover export in class, I wouldn't get in a twist over it at this point. [05:29] telaviv: Not sure. I use the nvidia drivers. And, after a fresh install. I type sudo apt-get update at the terminal. Then, Ubuntu asks if I want to update. After the update, I goto System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. Then, I select the recommended version. However, it seems that you've tried these things already. [05:29] zomGreg: one thing i do know that is on my exam is how to permanently change bash so i can execute from anywhere. [05:30] zomGreg: i know everything else. i just struggling on this [05:30] hmmmm :( well the updatemanager is currently running, lets see if that makes any difference jarray52 [05:30] ten minutes for load ubuntu live.. it's so crap [05:30] telaviv: You have to wait until the update manager is finished. [05:30] telaviv: I have to wait for it to finish before adding the drivers. [05:31] maybe an example will help. I have a script that fetches my external ip address from www.whatismyip.com. I put this shell script in my home directory in: /home/zomGreg/bin [05:31] !grub2 [05:31] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:31] mmm [05:31] ... [05:31] >_>? [05:32] to make that directory in my path: I have to do: export PATH=$PATH:/home/zomGreg/bin [05:32] Ubuntu locking up when running programs, anyone have ideas please whisper me. Thanks! [05:32] zomGreg: i thought you said that makes a temporary change to $PATH [05:32] it is better to get ubuntu 8.04 instead of 8.10 if i need x-org to be at most version 7.4, right? [05:32] @inf1n1ty: upgrade your pc [05:33] I setup tomcat6 on my machine. I changed the localhost in server.xml in 2 locations to an ip address. When I run nmap on 127.0.0.1, I still see port 8080 open after restarting tomcat. Anyone know what other config file I need to change to get rid of the open port 8080 on 127.0.0.1. I just want the port to be open on my ip address. [05:33] the pc isnt bad and we are talking about linux, I thought it runs on anything [05:33] temporary for my session. to make it permanent, put that line in .bashrc, because when you login, that file is referenced and the environment is initialized. [05:34] ok well i have not once to this day seen any mention on .bashrc in class. and i am one of few students who have over 90% [05:34] i have attached another HDD to my current ubuntu install, its on LVM, is there any solution by which i can mount the LVs on that HDD to backup data? [05:34] @inf1n1ty : it does, but dude, don't install ubuntu on an old PC [05:34] @inf1n1ty : use lighter distros [05:34] bandung [05:35] what madcat1990 said [05:35] well goddam, what're you stressing for? .bashrc is a good thing to know, but if they didn't cover it, don't worry about it now. [05:36] zomGreg: what im stressing about is my scholarship. i need to have a 90% min in all classes to keep my tuition free lol [05:36] well alrighty then. [05:37] yeah lol. different story, thats why i want to make sure every thing is cemented into my brain. for lack of a better metaphor :) [05:37] is the only difference between a minimal install and a full ubuntu install the "ubuntu-desktop" package? [05:37] to recap. If you execute the command PATH=$PATH:/some/dir, the PATH variable changes only for the current shell. If you execute the command export PATH=$PATH:/some/dir, the PATH variable will persist across shells for the current session. [05:37] !minimal | bep [05:37] bep: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:37] should i get ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04? 8.04 will be supported longer, right? [05:38] LTS [05:38] kinja-sheep: ya i know that, but i mean package wise. Right now I have a minimal install with certain applications and i would like to turn it into a full install [05:38] i think i broke my ubuntu hah i cant see phpinfo.php :) [05:38] and, for the final straw: if you add the export line to your .bashrc file, it will exists anytime you login and use a bash shell. [05:38] there a special switch needed to make g++ use templates ? [05:38] in c++ [05:39] bep: If you want a full desktop install, then you would want ubuntu-desktop. [05:39] I should say at this point that I'm hittin' the whiskey pretty hard so if you got more questions you better strike while I'm sober. [05:39] apanda, it depends on what you want to do with ubuntu [05:39] hi [05:39] kinja-sheep: so doing ubuntu-desktop would include everything that would have been installed had I gone with the normal Ubuntu install disk? [05:39] How about ubuntu-everyflippinfile [05:39] scotch, macallan 12 [05:39] im having some trouble with the sysmonitor screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, the uptime is covering up the list of running processes, anyone have any ideas? [05:39] play games voss and maybe some normal desktop / work use as well ;) [05:40] bep: Yes. [05:40] ok just checking, dont want something left out and things being broken [05:40] apanda, I suggest 9.04 more up to date nvidia drivers , firefox and flash [05:40] bep: "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" You'll see a list of packages (and their dependencies) that would be installed. [05:40] I've got a ATI RS690 based card, under Karmic amd64, but the restricted ATI drivers are showing up under hardware drivers - how do I get them to show up so that I can install them? [05:40] ok thanks [05:40] i have ati tho.. i need 8.x because of that [05:41] 9.10 isnt stable yet [05:41] for me ok [05:42] apanda, 9.04 wont work with it? [05:42] hahah zomGreg. ok this is a bit off topic from what i have covered in class. but can you blame curiosity? what is a shell :( [05:42] i just installed kubuntu 9.04 beta. it was the only disc i had. and now im trying to update & upgrade it to the latest versions but i am getting an error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m224596fd can someone please help me? [05:42] we only touched on there being different ones, and thats that [05:43] seems like mount.ntfs has been taking shit load of CPU power, had to reboot, because could not find the reason of it [05:43] brova: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell [05:44] Ubuntu 9.10 comes with some indexing service enabled per default? [05:44] i need the Xorg version to be 6.8-7.4 in order to use the ati binary driver voss, afaik 8.10 uses 7.4 [05:44] I'm trying to install other packages, but mysql-server-5.1 keeps butting in trying to stop/start mysqld and then bails out saying "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code" [05:44] apanda, 9.04 and 9.10 both use 7.4 also [05:44] oO [05:45] I've tried removing this package, but it keeps starting the mysqld anyways [05:45] i dont like kubuntu i want my ubuntu back. or even xubuntu [05:45] well someone told me that the ati binary driver doesnt work because the Xorg(?) version is too new or something [05:45] totem keeps cutting out on streams then buffers back at a snails pace. the only way to fix it is to press pause and play, then it will start playing again immediately. can anyone know how to fix this? [05:45] don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom [05:46] The only luck i've had with ati is with the radeon driver. try it and then move on with your life [05:46] ati rocks the windows world [05:46] anyone know how to fix my \| key so it stops giving me <>? [05:46] @Flexman : use the right keyboard layout [05:46] flexman: it gives you? [05:46] yeah i put it on asus notebook but no change [05:47] winblows [05:47] my ati is 5 years or so old, not much i can change about that purchase now :p [05:47] I'm trying to install other packages, but mysql-server-5.1 keeps butting in trying to stop/start mysqld and then bails out saying "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code" I've tried removing this package, but it keeps starting the mysqld anyways [05:47] apanda I would try 9.04 [05:47] does anyone in here know how to fix my problem? [05:47] i3luefire: you can install ubuntu-desktop [05:47] i3luefire: reinstall? [05:48] no, i've found threads of others using 9.04 with the same problem with a similar card voss :/ [05:48] did i say that? [05:48] so i just wanted to know whether 8.04 or 8.10 makes more sense for long term use.. [05:48] i3luefire: use synaptic, choose xubuntu and at the gnome login manage you can select the xubuntu session [05:48] apanda, 8.10 uses 7.4 as well. 8.04 uses 7.3 [05:48] apanda: 8.04 LTS -- The next major upgrade will be in 5 months. [05:49] xeer: if i try to add any software i get those errors [05:49] what errors, you've mentioned no errors since I've joined this channel [05:50] i just installed kubuntu 9.04 beta. it was the only disc i had. and now im trying to update & upgrade it to the latest versions but i am getting an error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m224596fd can someone please help me? [05:50] ok i guess 8.04 it is then, ty.. altho the ati driver mentions 7.4 is supposed to work too.. [05:50] these are the ati release notes for the last driver that supports my card https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_93_linux.pdf [05:51] according to ubuntu i am using the correct keyboard layout but still no worky any thoughts? [05:51] Do you have a desktop or laptop? [05:51] Is there a good web proxy that plays flash videos? [05:51] apanda [05:51] laptop [05:52] desktop, not the mobility one.. its a radeon 9600 pro [05:52] old [05:52] anyone? [05:53] ? [05:53] Aesir: Is there a good web proxy that plays flash videos? [05:54] sure [05:54] which is? [05:54] xeer: did you get the pastebin? [05:55] black box search [05:55] web based proxy service [05:55] allows you to go just through a web page to any web pages you want [05:55] or [05:55] i3luefire: no and frankly I've lost interest. [05:55] quote by ati: "The Linux ATI Catalyst™ driver will only be supported in Linux distributions prior to February 2009 for the legacy products listed above." [05:56] yup [05:56] if you use firefox you can get the addon PhProxy [05:56] simple [05:56] usually works [05:56] The ATI driver for linux doesn't work on my X1600's, pretty much it's only for old system. [05:56] can use it as a work around for megavideo video watching [05:57] tbh i just wanted to try gaming on linux because my windows 2000 install is getting really old now and i had hoped to get better performance in the long run ;) [05:57] "megavideo video"? [05:57] since it cuts out after about an hour of play time, just load the page through phproxy and hit refresh [05:57] well does anyone else want to try to help me upgrade from kubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10? i cant find synaptic and i get errors when i try to update or add anything [05:57] 'megavideo (tm/website) video (movie)' [05:58] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m224596fd [05:58] reinstall [05:58] hey all, Anyone know when the nm-applet bug will be fixed in how it shows up as a second sound icon int he notification tray? [05:58] yea [05:58] i just installed [05:58] or if there is a fix for it? [05:58] xeer: karmic ? [05:59] like 10 minutes ago [05:59] DasEi: yes [05:59] I fixed my problem. ended up having to create a symbolic link to the mysqld.sock so it would function properly. Though I don't see how this would cause any interference with aptitude [05:59] i went to var/www and theres phpinfo.php in there just an index.html [05:59] i3luefire: ok, so the install went ok right? [05:59] *theres not [06:00] i installed php5\apache [06:00] i'm playing an avi file, and both totem and mplayer say the file is done after only a few seconds. I believe there must be a problem with the way they are interpreting the avi file. anyone else encountered this? [06:00] centHOGG: it appears so [06:00] Free__: you konw, it's not very hard to make a phpinfo.php [06:00] when i navigate to localhost\phpinfo.php i get nothing [06:00] where does the php.ini file reside? [06:00] hi all [06:00] Free__: [06:00] try using VLC player [06:00] oh [06:00] rather, does anyone know how to fix the nm-applet bug? [06:00] i3luefire: great [06:00] thanks [06:00] rustyshackleford: try "whereis php.ini" [06:01] need help with apt-get what is this ? [06:01] so my chances of getting my pc with an ati card to perform better in games (with some background servertype apps) running under linux are slim to none compared to windows?

[06:06] i3luefire: just follow the instructions on the website and hopefully it will all just seamlessly upgrade everything to the current :) [06:06] rustyshackleford: you can use a default one provided by the php install [06:06] I am trying to use UBI. Is this on the Alternate CD? [06:06] robbmunson: Thank You!

[06:08] xeer: ok, alright, and that would explain why some of my settings are set at the lowest possible level... ok, its starting to click. I installed all of this through apt-get though. was that file supposed to be a part of the standard install? and if so, any thoughts why i didn't get one on install. [06:08] i know but its not right [06:09] Somebody: I've got a laptop set up that way and it works just great.

I want to change a number of my PHP settings (e.g. increase the max_execution_time, up the memory_limit). I have come to understand that I need to adjust these in a php.ini text file. is downloading one and editing it to my specifications easiest? how can i get ahold of the one currently on my system as a text file? [06:13] cuse my pc says when i start it up pc has been hacked / fbi was here ???? [06:13] hii [06:13] rustyshackleford: do you know how to access super user?

[06:25] i did: sudo chmod chmod 777 /directory [06:25] I get a resize error when installing Ubuntu. It says that there was an error writting the changes to the storage medium. Then it says that the resize operation was aborted. How can I fix this? [06:25] but i need to do ALL the subdirectories too [06:25] yo_rmn: change its conf and run it again [06:25] can anyone tell me the command thanks [06:25] did so [06:25] Hello all. I'm trying to figure out how to make my computer a triple boot with Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows 7. So far, I've been able to install and boot onto each of the OSes at different times, but now I'm stuck with OS X and W 7 because W7 put its own bootloader in place. I have supergrubdisk… how do I reinstate grub without messing up Mac's EFI? [06:25] nothing happened [06:26] trust me, i comme here... [06:26] Free__: try erasing one of those chmod's ;) [06:26] lolo88: perhaps you should ask questions in your native language [06:26] hah [06:26] yo_rmn: first i dont know about gwinwrap, second im on windows :( [06:26] oh god i dont know how to go back [06:26] because i did look for the solution but nope [06:26] windows ?????? not good [06:26] is there a command to do the whole directory and sub directories [06:26] :P [06:26] Twitter has been hacked :S [06:26] im crying i have a darn CMS [06:26] oh, === cyberjorge_ is now known as cyberjorge [06:26] theres like 8000 directories [06:26] You won't mess us EFI As afar as I know. [06:26] lol [06:26] I'm not sure though. [06:27] zoug, can't swear on this channel pal [06:27] XDXDXD [06:27] Free__: i forget >.< [06:27] Free__: are you having issues with apache and a cms? [06:27] be nice [06:27] yo_rmn: okay... -_- [06:27] no i'm having issues chmodding all the subdirectories [06:27] for example chmod 777 /software/ [06:27] wht if.. [06:27] doesnt do like /software/1 /software/2 [06:27] or software/2/1 [06:27] all the sub directories [06:27] i set chmod back to default? none? [06:27] Free__: use the -R argument, it means recursive [06:27] Free__: if it's a web server then you want to be a member of www-data to move files to it.. [06:28] how would I set GRUB to be my bootloader and not Windows 7's bootloader? [06:28] Free__: chmod -R user:group /directory/file [06:28] thanks [06:28] Adam, Use a UBuntu Live CD [06:28] Free__: and next time you don't know how to use a program, use "man APP" like, "man chmod" [06:28] yo_rmn: what would that do when you dont even know for sure whether its running or not [06:29] I get a resize error when installing Ubuntu. It says that there was an error writting the changes to the storage medium. Then it says that the resize operation was aborted. How can I fix this? [06:29] somebody: thanks, I'll try that [06:29] need to get my hands on an older linux for a dell optiplex gx270 [06:29] HM.. sure [06:29] somebody: back up your data, erase the hard drive try again. if no go, get a new hard drive [06:29] No problem [06:29] =] [06:29] thanks [06:29] puppy [06:29] it does this: [06:29] i appreciate it [06:29] lolo88: have you tried putting xubuntu on it? [06:29] This is a very new drive [06:30] somebody: you probably have a bad partition [06:30] takes power of desktop drawing in order to set a vid on bottm [06:30] yea but eifi not working ??? [06:30] sorry wifi [06:30] lolo88: do you have access to the router? [06:30] yo_rmn: can you get a imagebin? [06:30] first goes well, but it does not set anythin on bottom [06:30] yes [06:31] for what? you will see my DTop [06:31] Yes, I know I do. The Windows Defragmenter said that it could not defagment some files. I don't know what to do [06:31] lolo88: temporarily plug in the cable and try installing the madwifi package or something. [06:31] yo_rmn: what is "takes power of desktop drawing in order to set a vid on bottm" dont really get it === domen5 is now known as domenz [06:32] like... it is suposed to set a vid or SSaver [06:32] o right on ill try that thanks [06:32] like a-desk script [06:32] Is there anything I can do to proceed [06:32] ? [06:32] lolo88: I mean try plugging in the network cable temporarily and sudo aptitude install madwifi, then unplug the cable and restart your computer ;) [06:32] * robbmunson might not have the exact package name right but im pretty sure madwifi could help out. [06:33] on desktop bottom so it does ---replace of th previoss (compiz) dsktop drawer [06:33] thanks im ganna look that up [06:33] if not, we might have to go in and possibly grab the driver manually. [06:33] well im out time to kick it with the wif [06:34] I really want to get Ubuntu onto this machine. The Windows Defragmenter said it could not defragment some files. Now I get a resize error [06:34] What can I try? [06:34] like --nutilus-no-deskyop? [06:35] like that [06:35] nautilus --no-desktop [06:35] reinstall [06:35] this is running [06:35] so gconf-editor should do! [06:36] i'll be right back [06:36] I'll be back [06:36] Hold on [06:37] in compizconfig settings manager, general options, desktop size, I seem unable to increase number of desktops beyond 2, Im using karmic, option to increase desktop is "grayed out" and cannot be changed ?? [06:37] yah, I solved it [06:37] how desktop was unmarked [06:37] Bye [06:37] hello everyone. i've searched google about people achieving to install karmic on netbooks. just to note. does it take more than 30 minutes for the OS to boot from a live cd? [06:38] seeyalll [06:38] ellie: no [06:38] ellie no way [06:38] 有趣 但是看不懂 [06:38] More then 30 minutes on a netbook? No [06:38] chris_ i install jaunty and it boots fast off a usb. karmic takes forever [06:38] 有没有会中文的？ [06:39] sounds like hardware confkuict [06:39] can anyone help me whit mic boost... i forgot what command to tipe to get that terminal mixer... :) [06:39] doesn't even show the app menu..just the circle thing going round and round forever [06:39] ellie: install jaunty then try update [06:39] Installing ubuntu on some solid state drive netbooks can take hours. But that's because some ssd's have awful write speeds [06:40] hi folks [06:40] ellie: do you have jaunty installed/? [06:41] hiatus: this is a new netbook. asus 1005ha; some people say they installed just fine. i wonder how mine takes forever. i tried UNR/Karmic. eeebuntu and easy peasy booted fine [06:41] hi disturb [06:41] i'm looking for a file tagging / indexing solution ... [06:41] is there anything better than tracker ? [06:41] I thought upgrades from jaunty where not reccomended? [06:41] ellie: could be a bad image. try re downloading [06:41] chris yes i do. there is too much work around for the wifi. got it to work but its buggy [06:42] Ellie: did you try a regular ubuntu install. In my opinion its better then unr [06:42] torrent or ftp? [06:42] hiatus: oh yeah. i found that out the hard way [06:42] hiatus: well, its definately not recommended for a beginner to upgrade to lucid but its always a possibility, either which way...if youre going to use Lucid youre going to have to get support for it in #ubuntu+1 ;) [06:42] hiatus: i did try a regular buntu too. [06:42] robbmunson: i def dont recommend it for anyone not familiar with X [06:43] How odd, are you installing from cd or usb? [06:43] chris_: well, also true. [06:43] even linuxmint8 cannot boot. [06:43] usb drive [06:44] Usinh unetbootin I assume? [06:44] must be a kernel issue === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks [06:44] just to note. i use unetbootin on windows xp [06:45] unetbootin is not suggested for a primary install [06:46] I have unzipped an archive on my web server via ssh, but I need to move all the files and directories to a new location. What would be the appropriate command to do so? mv * /new/path/ ? [06:46] mr -r [06:46] sorry [06:46] mv -r [06:46] It does sound like a kernel conflict, best bet is to just stick with jaunty untill its resolved [06:46] can i have 2 different linux installs installed from wubi at the same time? [06:47] apanda: try it out [06:47] probably wont let you [06:47] hiatus: will this happen when i use my regular laptop? i have yet to install karmic in it yet [06:47] [06:48] ellie: does what kind of graphics chip is in your netbook? [06:48] i am going to test it out [06:48] If its a kernel issue, no [06:49] anyone know if AverMedia tuner cards are Ubuntu compatible? all the results from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaAverMedia are very old [06:49] chris_:why not use unetbootin to install ? saves cd [06:49] I install using unetbootin from usb all the time. It tends to be faster then from cd [06:49] chris_ Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family [06:49] mikeChelen: try checking out the mythbuntu site. There might be some info ther [06:49] ellie: there is your problm [06:49] The intel chips SUCK right now [06:50] what? [06:50] chris_ - would that be mv -r * or mv * -r? (Or does it matter?) [06:50] chris_: will do, thanks, my guess is that compatibility isn't much of an issue anymore [06:50] !hardware | also MikeChelen , apart from googling ubuntu+model [06:50] also MikeChelen , apart from googling ubuntu+model: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:50] so i won't be able to install karmic? [06:50] at all? [06:51] ellie: im sure you could some how. gotta dig. [06:51] DasEi: that's where im looking now, all the info for this company is from - 06-07 [06:51] let me share a link with you.. one min [06:51] thanks chris [06:51] Linux drivers need to be written by the community sometimes and then they are applied to the kernel. So you will have to wait until your hasrdware, which is pretty new to be supported [06:52] MikeChelen: google often leads to the forum-posts, might add it to the list, if succesfull, is it attached or do you plan it ? [06:53] oops [06:53] DasEi: looking to order, if it's incompatible i'd get something else [06:54] How do I make my ubuntu 9.10 system visible on a Vista network? [06:54] ellie: i cant find any relevant docs right now. if you google ubuntu and intel graphics you will find some old info. Im guessing because your processer is probably arm or atom, it does not play well with the graphics chip and 9.10 [06:54] MikeChelen: certain model ? [06:54] atom [06:55] how can I get rid of old kernels from /boot in 9.04? [06:55] yeah bummer.. have you tried the ubuntu netbook os? [06:55] hmm... well thank everyone. i should research more before buying a product. [06:55] askvictor: do you mean remove them from the grub menu? [06:55] DasEi: yup, AVerMedia AVerTVHD Bravo PCTV Tuner MTVHDBRAR [06:55] askvictor: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst , uninstall them [06:55] uninstall [06:55] duh; I guess that would be via apt [06:55] elli: dont worry, soon enough it will work [06:56] easy peasy was good but too slow for my taste [06:56] askvictor: or synaptic (more comfortable) [06:56] If you want fast, you should use crunchbang [06:56] * askvictor slaps forehead [06:56] hi, what that /boot/grub/grub.conf equivalent in grub2? [06:56] !grub2 | cyberjorge [06:56] 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 [06:56] Its based on jaunty still I believe too [06:57] yup crunchbang is good, also xubuntu depending on system specs [06:57] ellie: you could always try a debian net install and build your system by adding the ubuntu repos... more advanced but might be fun [06:57] i lost my program buttons on the taskbar [06:57] what should i do [06:57] i was looking into that today. [06:58] Dirtyself: right click and "add docklets" [06:58] DasEi: google doesn't find anyone mentioning problems, but there is nothing conclusive [06:58] "add to panel" [06:58] i actually found a good guide to do it. [06:58] MikeChelen: I found few, let me read [06:59] thanks add to panel then docklets? [06:59] Eh, debian is always either tooo stable for me, or not stable enough [06:59] dirtyelf: add to panel and then "menu bar" [06:59] DasEi: awesome, thanks [07:00] ah, thats it thanks! [07:00] hiatus: i recenty did a net debian net install and it almost made me want to go back to that old win 95 look just because it was so stable [07:01] what I can do with bin-files? [07:01] Lmao [07:01] bin files or bin-files ? [07:01] Indeed, debian stable takes a certain kinda mentality [07:02] does anyone know of a opensource application builder sorta like Visual Basic ? looking for something that would allow the application to be visually developed and also able to run on multiple os systems [07:03] lwizard1: Have a look at 'quickly' [07:03] lwizard hmm.. what language ? [07:03] ok, the bin-file is a java file. [07:03] actually that didn't doi t. i still don't have the program buttons on my taskbar.. [07:04] which programs? [07:04] chris_, well I don't know really any true programming languages but I d know some C/C++ but I am open to any really [07:04] anything that is open [07:04] irc etc [07:04] i got rid of it some how [07:04] just so long as I could run the application built from it on either Linux, Windows, or OSX [07:04] maybe i should try logging out and back in [07:05] any howtos anyone know of to get alsa working? [07:05] Python! [07:05] Dirtyelf, try googling your problem. i know i have seen your answer in the ubuntu forums before [07:06] lwizard1: i would go with java netbeans [07:06] hiatus, I have looked at python and it seems that would work but I am not sure of a true GUI type of WYSIWYG builder [07:06] netbeans has a sort of "visual basic" type editor. [07:06] lwizard1: glade? [07:07] lwizard1: requires gtk+ though. But works with python great. [07:07] sweetandy, I have tried that before and never got it to start without crashing [07:08] hello to all [07:08] I just heard about django. It seems to be some sort of aid in developing python apps, but I'm not sure [07:08] ive used django. [07:08] What's up with django, is that a wysiwyg [07:08] i want to hide a file in home dir how i can do it [07:09] Cryptkeeper linux4family [07:09] django is more of a framework [07:09] Linux4Family: rename it with a . at the front. [07:09] see what I am trying to do is build a cash register application to suit my needs because I can not find one that does it without needing to have 3 applications running to do different things [07:09] linux4family but a . in === lwizard1 is now known as lwizardl [07:10] lwizard: you might want to check out monodevelop [07:10] Bah, mono >.< [07:10] hiatus: lol [07:10] I would ask the python channel [07:11] hiatus, ok i will do that [07:11] eh "windows list" [07:11] lwizardl: i think your best and easiest way may be to use python with pygame for you GUI. pygame is real easy to work with [07:11] duh [07:12] hi guys, i need some help with grep. Im trying to convert my grep results into csv form, is this possible? [07:12] dirty: lol at least you got it [07:12] yeah, thanks === Evildeed is now known as asmodeus_ [07:12] chris_ will pygame allow me to creat differnt screens for stuff as like f1 - f12 ? [07:12] aaaooooaaa: grep | awk $1 $1 $ 3 >> file .. hmm [07:13] anyone succesful installing wow on ubuntu via wine? [07:13] llwizardl http://pygame.org/wiki/tutorials [07:14] tank you [07:14] this is my sample data that Im trying to convert to csv : http://pastebin.com/m412b80d6 [07:14] chris_ thanks will look at that [07:15] MikeChelen: mostly windows that, can't filter it out the site, try yourself : http://tiny.cc/hV7XW [07:15] aaoooo: i think you are going to have to write a bash that can handle a bunch of arrays and write them to file in the correct order [07:16] lwizardl: just because its called pygame doesnt mean you have to use it for a game. its a graphical interface for python [07:16] Dirtyelf: I don't play wow, but lots of linux users do [07:16] im having some trouble with the sysmonitor screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, the uptime is covering up the list of running processes, anyone have any ideas? [07:16] DasEi: what is that list? [07:17] MikeChelen: looked like a offer including the card and ubuntu [07:17] chris_: ummm could you repeat that again ? :D [07:18] compiz plugin feewins makes my systm freeze [07:19] Hi [07:19] is it a bad idea to put /etc along with /home in a different partition? [07:19] aaaaooooo check out this http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial [07:20] keywords: arrays, awk [07:20] MikeChelen: http://tiny.cc/uDkNV [07:20] I have a question which Distro will run faster on a old laptop xubuntu or ubuntu> [07:20] Hilikus: You can't put /etc in a separate partition, but /home is good to put separately [07:20] xubuntu [07:20] ImJJames: xubu, [07:20] ty [07:21] imjames you could even install fluxbox and make it faster :) [07:21] 850mhz 256mb should get xubuntu running smoothly eh? [07:21] Hilikus: bad not, why etc ? [07:21] fluxbox interesting.. ill read into that [07:21] ImJJames: specs of that machine ? [07:21] m system freezes when I activate freewins plugin, is my oc not good enoguh? I don't think so [07:21] imjjames: even xubuntu is starting to require some more horses.. i would look into puppy or DSL as a distro [07:22] PC* [07:22] Ubuntu minimal with lxde for easy use and ultimate minimalism [07:22] 850 mhz 256mb [07:22] hiatus: That's Lubuntu, actually. [07:22] ImJJames: ah, above, yes xubu would work, I'd recommend: [07:22] !minimal [07:22] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:23] chris_: cool thanks [07:23] and icewm, for faster [07:23] Lubuntu uses a normal install, not a minimal install [07:23] I will mainly be using it for web surfing (streaming video's etc) [07:23] No, you don't want the minimal CD, you want the Alternate CD [07:23] chris_: so I hav to write a scritp [07:23] hiatus: What do you mean by "Ubuntu Minimal" [07:23] I had lxde and ubuntu minimal running at 85mb of ram [07:24] aaaaaoooo if you are trying to get results from a command in the terminal then that might be difficult. i would write a script [07:24] hiatus: please describe what you mean by "minimal"..... [07:24] DasEi: managed to find a helpful compatibility guide from http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCIe_Cards though this card isn't listed specifically [07:24] ImJJames: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems === novus is now known as Guest37208 [07:25] Flannel: google ubuntu minimal is a ubuntu iso which will bring you up to command line and you just aptget what you want [07:25] hiatus: ahhh mini.iso ;) [07:25] hiatus: The mini ISO is the same ISO as the alternate CD, just without the packages. [07:25] MikeChelen: for usual, even unsupported cards cause hits on google, so I'd be carefull and choose another one, maybe figure the chip and tray again [07:25] try* [07:26] hiatus: Instead, it downloads the packages from the internet. It doesn't give you a smaller version than anything else, you can get the same results installing a"command line only" system from the alternate CD [07:26] Flannel: and a nice base for icewm or such [07:27] Nothing wrong with that [07:27] hiatus: No, there's nothing wrong with that, but Lubuntu would be the same thing. [07:27] Lubuntu has a lot of gnome still in it and various prestarting programs you don't need is all [07:28] At least, the last time I checked [07:28] hiatus: No, I believe you're thinking of Xubuntu. Although, packages.ubuntu.com is slow, so I can't check at the moment [07:30] im outta here. [07:30] I dunno, I was around when they first repackaging lubuntu and the dude was just using ubuntu with gnome plus lxde, and I thought that idea was a huge failure. Stopped paying attention since though [07:30] how to slove boot time error , "splash error:connection refused " [07:31] imJJames: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ [07:32] ubuntu netbook remix looks interesting [07:33] imjjames: ubuntu netbook remix isn't light [07:33] Its just for netbooks since they have small monitors [07:34] oh === iPepino is now known as iPino [07:34] well I want it light but I want the graphics to be nice for videos and images etc === Yos_ is now known as Yos [07:35] okay well I just put a order in for xubutin 9.10 [07:35] lol [07:35] xubuntu* [07:35] $2 [07:35] hrr [07:35] ImJJames: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:36] Ubuntu studio 8.04 is a LTS version??? [07:37] sri__: I don't think the Ubuntu Studio variant is a official distro from canonical.. so I guess the answer would be no === zz_magenbrot is now known as magenbrot [07:44] hey guys, do you know if there is any possibility to make Cricket USB Modem to work on Ubuntu (the 3g one) === dandre_parti is now known as dandre [07:47] Quiet [07:48] Anybody use gnash? [07:48] hiatus: just ask your other question ;) [07:49] Hm? [07:49] hiatus: no [07:51] hiatus: only sometimes [07:52] How's gnash running these days? [07:55] hmph. why does the checksum file list an SHA1 sum on the f10 live cd without mentioning it's sha 256, not sha 160? grumph [07:55] oops === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:05] Hey broskis.

[08:06] how are you [08:06] Really long ethernet cord [08:06] the default font used by firefox is absolutly hideous, how can i change this? [08:07] is firefox not using default system font i wonder? [08:07] ubuntu does bridging by default, doesn't it? [08:09] hiatus, all the way to the router? [08:10] * gleeb says hello to all who's reading this! [08:10] Does it have to be a crossover cable by any chance? [08:11] Peddy, some have said it has to be a crossover cable, but the last distro I used just required me installing a dhcp server [08:11] thanks lockd, I'll try it right now [08:11] keep in mind, it's harder than setting up a router [08:13] have xubuntu lamp server running per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP why does the phpmyadmin folder located in /var/www/ keep trying to download the index php file, instead of parsing it? [08:14] HELLO!!!! [08:15] I cannot get a module loaded on bootup -- does anybody feel like helping? [08:15] rootlinuxusr, do you have php module enabled? [08:15] how would i verify that? [08:16] brb [08:16] chunknuts: which one ? [08:16] i ran this sudo tasksel install lamp-server and sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql [08:17] DasEi: A custom driver I built -- it works once booted -- but not automatically at startup [08:17] DasEi: It's for a RAID card [08:18] chunknuts: you load via modprobe ? [08:18] rootlinuxusr, i don't use php but you should have in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled mod_php or something [08:18] DasEi: trying -- it won't load -- no error message either (I'm at the initfs prompt) [08:19] DasEi: initramfs [08:19] nope it's not there. [08:20] so apache doesn't know what to do with that php file [08:20] chunknuts: I see, I'm overasked there, you will have either pass the kernelargument (which I don't know) or get it into initramfs, sry, no experience there [08:20] !hcl [08:20] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [08:20] there is ubuntu metapackage php5 [08:21] sudo apt-get install php5 [08:21] chunknuts: how did you boot before then ? [08:21] DasEi: Thanks for the help -- I'm going to try to keep hacking at the initramfs prompt! -- thank you! [08:21] Hi, so how well does radeon hd57xx work currently? [08:22] ...why would tasksel/lampstack not install php? 0o [08:23] hi there [08:23] is there a mail log analyzer or sth like that where i can see which mails are sent / rejected? [08:23] GutZuWiSSeN: i.e. pflogsumm.pl for postfix [08:24] llutz, thx :) [08:25] for that matter, installed php5, still downloads the php file...would i need a libapache-mod-php5? [08:26] hmm... rootlinuxusr, very strange that the lamp stack didn't install everything [08:26] but if it didn't, you would need to install libapache-mod [08:27] to get it to work with apache [08:27] * grape_nuts says hello to those who read this [08:28] Package libapache-mod-php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[08:30] have you tried ejecting it from the command line? [08:30] even though they all seemingly finish, I guess they dont fixate or whatever, they are all coasters, of course, failures, I'm on 9.10 by the way [08:30] yes, thats where i get the error [08:30] hmm [08:30] strange [08:30] otherwise the drive is just unresponsive, flashing light on and off [08:30] how old is your media? === ari_stress is now known as pendekar_stress [08:30] the cd's? just bought them [08:30] ok [08:30] hmm... strange [08:30] I can burn audio cds just fine, actually just burned one [08:30] logs say anything exciting? [08:31] logs? where might i look? [08:31] removed everything, what order should i install things? [08:31] rather, which logs I guess is what i should ask [08:32] hmm... k3b should give you an option to view them when it fails [08:32] nigtv: have you tried to burn at console? "cdrecord -dao speed=8 -v foo.iso" [08:33] llutz: well I tried to burn it with "burn" thats synonymous with cdrecord right? [08:33] hi when opening nautilus filebrowser. there is usually a sidepanel with all the places on my computer eg home, computer, the drives and partitions etc [08:33] why have the folders size limit? How can I crack it up? [08:33] nigtv: i don't know "burn", just cdrecord or of course its fork wodim [08:33] holmser: I didnt look no there might have been one somewhere, i wouldnt know where to look now [08:33] well wodim has always been flakey [08:34] please see http://imagebin.ca/view/h8rNPwK.html [08:34] llutz: I usually just "sudo burn -I -n ubuntu.iso" [08:34] nigtv: only logs i could imagine, /var/log/syslog(messages) [08:34] I have a dell inspiron 1526 and runnin ubuntu 9.10 and my built in mic does not work nor does a external mic [08:34] rootlinuxusr, sudo tasksel install lamp-server [08:34] that should install everything [08:35] hi guys [08:35] i have ubuntu 9.1 [08:35] when the grub is loded [08:35] proby: Try to keep questions to one line :) [08:36] I searched the error "cannot eject disc, input/output error", and the only similar cases I can find are bugs with HAL, mainly with USB devices, so im kind of lost [08:36] same thing. should i check the logs? [08:36] it have 4 options ubuntu generic kernel 2.16 ubuntu generic kernel 2.16 again ubuntu generic kernel 2.17 and ubuntu generic kernel 2.17 [08:37] nigtv: "burn" seems to be just another frontend to cdrdao/cdrecord, so it should work. maybe try to make it more verbos [08:37] e [08:37] llutz: to get a more descriptive error? [08:37] i want to delete all thos generics and have only ubuntu generic kernel 2.17 any solutions please?? [08:37] nigtv: yes [08:38] proby, those are some ungodly old kernels if you mean 2.6.17 [08:38] yes exactly lockd [08:38] or do you mean 2.6.31-17? [08:38] i mean 2.6.31-17 lockd [08:39] okay, you scared me [08:39] ok i want only option for only only one kernel to appear in grub lockd did you know any soluion please?

[10:41] fireundubh, that doesn't use synaptic [10:41] i know [10:42] fireundubh, it just selects the best server and updates your sources.list accordingly [10:43] looks like netselect does the first part of that, too [10:45] is there a particular reason why you can't use the gui tool? [10:46] nah, it just feels really slow on this laptop. [10:46] fireundubh: do you get masses of updates? [10:51] help i get an ERROR "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority" when i logon [10:52] I would like to format my /dev/sdb1 USB HDD from the command line. Any advice please on how to do this? [10:52] avishek: what filesystem do you want to use? [10:52] oh software sources. i was still thinking of synaptic. ;p [10:52] ActionParsnip: ext4 [10:53] DEViUS: boot to recovery root console and run: ls -la /home/user/.ICEauthority does user own the file? [10:53] has anyone got a ppa for alsa 1.0.22 ? [10:53] ActionParsnip, ok, wat does this do? [10:53] avishek: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 This will destroy ALL data on the partition so be VERY sure its the right one [10:54] DEViUS: makes sure the file exists and is owned by the right user [10:54] asd [10:54] hi [10:54] ActionParsnip: It's a new external HDD. I would like to use it to mount /home. Thank you! [10:54] how are you [10:55] avishek: just covering my back so that I told yu it was very destructive [10:55] ow to install yahoo messenger [10:55] ActionParsnip, I get this message -rw------- 1 root root 7352 2009-12-18 13:52 /home/user/.ICEauthority [10:55] DEViUS: thats why, the file should be owned by user but is ACTUALLY owned by root. have you been running nautilus using sudo and not gksudo? [10:55] ActionParsnip: Thank you for your help; this time and countless other times! :) [10:56] ActionParsnip, yes i did once or twice ?? [10:57] ActionParsnip, oh if u shud know am running on karmic [10:57] can anybody can advise me on an html editor on ubuntu [10:57] DEViUS: this is why you are in this mess, sudo is NOT to be used for gui apps as you will get this. use gksudo for gui apps in future and you will avoid it [10:57] DEViUS: to repair run: cd /home; sudo chown -R user:user ./user [10:57] jmp_: bluefish, gedit, leafpad, nano, vi [10:57] jmp_, gedit does HTML quite nicely; there's also Screem or Bluefish, which are both good. [10:58] wo [10:58] Ax [10:58] im trying to install munin using aptitude but when it tries to install munin-node it hangs at "initializing plugins...", is there a workaround to this? [10:58] DEViUS: you just undid your mess by giving the user back its own data [10:58] ok thanks I will take screem [10:58] Hi, I need help to configure my touchpad on ubuntu 9.10 fresh install === Oli``` is now known as Oli`` [10:59] ActionParsnip, i get this msg, chown: invalid user: `user:user' [10:59] DEViUS: is the user actually called 'user' [10:59] jmp_, screem has really nice autocompletion of tags and some other nice features. Bluefish is powerful too. [11:00] ActionParsnip, no i obviously changed it to correct one [11:00] DEViUS: then you borked the command then [11:00] DEViUS: sudo chown -R user:user ./user [11:00] ActionParsnip, borked ??? [11:00] Madpilot, I think I will try first screem then , I 'll see .thanks [11:00] DEViUS: broke, ruined, screwed up [11:00] lol [11:00] DEViUS, borked == broken :) [11:01] ActionParsnip, oh ok :P [11:01] I once had a lot of sounds in konversation i could use for highlighting, can someone tell me if i have to reinstall them? [11:02] ActionParsnip, no i keep getting invalid user , is there a way to see the available users, just to know wats going on in the kernels mind :P [11:02] DEViUS: less /etc/passwd [11:03] Can anyone help me configuring my touchpad? [11:04] ActionParsnip, the username exists on that list [11:04] DEViUS: cool, its also case sensitive [11:04] salut [11:04] DEViUS: ok try this: sudo chown -R user ./user [11:04] hello then ^^ [11:04] !hi [11:04] 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! [11:04] is anyone could just give me an hand [11:05] !ask | xqua_ [11:05] xqua_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:05] ActionParsnip, ok [11:05] xqua_, on what ? [11:06] oki ^^, So I've got a Saitek Cyborg Keyboard (and Mouse) and there is some button which doesn't work (not even recognise on xev) do you know how to got this button [11:06] ActionParsnip, ok so itt seemed to be processing and then it stops on this chown: cannot access `./user/.gvfs': Permission denied [11:07] ActionParsnip, and i thought root could do anything [11:07] DEViUS: its a special folder [11:07] DEViUS: ok now run: chown -R :user ./user [11:08] ActionParsnip, may i ask whats special about it? [11:08] ActionParsnip, chown: changing ownership of `./user/.gvfs': Function not implemented [11:08] DEViUS: thats all i know, its where your removable media gets mounted to as far as i am aware, don't sweat it [11:08] DEViUS: ok so has the second command run? [11:09] thanks for that software sources tip. now i avg 350 Kb/s instead of 100 Kb/s. [11:09] ActionParsnip, lol ok ok, yes i told you itt gives msg chown: changing ownership of `./user/.gvfs': Function not implemented [11:09] great :) now run: DEViUS: shutdown -r now [11:09] ActionParsnip, after i restart this issue will be sorted out? [11:09] wtf [11:09] who is devius [11:10] nigtv, i am DEViUS =] [11:10] DEViUS: yes as the user is now the owner of its own data, which you damaged by using nautilus incorrectly with sudo rather than gksudo [11:10] ActionParsnip, thanx a million [11:10] DEViUS: the user could not write to the file as it was owned by root [11:10] I have an ibm x30 - it hangs at random times, sometimes during boot. Never recovers. Runs Ubuntu 8.10, with all updates. [11:10] DEViUS: and the all group had zero access [11:11] MartinCleaver : what do you meen by hang, the computer freeze ? [11:11] Y, completely freezes. Doesn't respond to caps lock, to ctrl-alt-delete [11:12] or to ctrl-alt-backspace [11:12] ActionParsnip, aha, i thought u shud know i did ls -la again and results were - rw------- 1 user root 7352 2009-12-18 13:52 /home/user/.ICEauthority [11:12] martincleaver : hum do you check your Power supply ? [11:12] MartinCleaver: there are a few X30 guides here: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ibm.html [11:13] hi - ive just imported photos and videos from the camera card but in f-spot they dont have the location they are at - what is the location of the imported photos? and also where does the videos are - they arent imported in f-spot???? [11:13] DEViUS: then the second command failed but the user will still have access and you should still be able to log on. You can set the ownership properly on the desktop [11:13] actionparsnip : do you have any idea to get my button ? [11:13] hamzaatova1: ~/Pictures would be my first place to look [11:13] It happens on battery and power supply, on Canadian power and UK power, and on two different power supplies [11:14] xqua_: no, or i would have replied [11:14] hamzaatova1, ~/Photos or ~/Pictures [11:14] * MartinCleaver clicks ActionParsnip 's link [11:14] oki ... [11:14] hamzaatova1, no idea where f-splat would put your movies, though [11:14] xqua_: don't ask users like that after asking the channel, you look silly [11:15] is anyone know how to get some unrecognyze button from a keyboard to be recognize by X ? [11:15] ActionParsnip, Madpilot - ok thanks - what about the videos? how do i get them? transfering by copying the files? [11:15] Actionparsnip : sry ... [11:15] xqua_: sounds like you'll need a modle compiling for it if the keys dont generate events in xev [11:16] Actionparsnip : yeah, do you know where I can get some doc on it ? [11:16] hamzaatova1, you might have to do it manually, yeah. I've never actually taken any movies with my digicam, now that I think about it. [11:16] xqua_: search for: linux [11:16] Actionparsnip : oki thx [11:19] ugh [11:19] I can't find out how to change to arc colors [11:19] I've got it installed [11:19] but the Login Window perferences only let you access auto-login or not [11:19] :( [11:19] Not sure why these "improvements" were made [11:19] occy: are you on Karmic?

[12:00] awaad: one sec [12:00] !minimal [12:00] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD === Guest63991 is now known as Sniper_31 [12:01] awaad: do you have oracle metalink account?

The linux distributions you named are the certified distributions [12:04] I only want a link for downloading oracle 10g standard edition on ubuntu [12:04] so is it the name of a kernel ?

[12:07] Rogues: so try and run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal [12:07] oCean_ : Is the standard edition suitable for this ? [12:07] awaad: why not use the express edition?

I narrowed it down... If I fast forward through a song to almost the end, the next song no sound, if I do same again next sond has sound... every other song plays fine [12:49] ActionParsnip, i never understood the point of gimpshop [12:50] airtonix: its more similar to photoshop. thus, an easier transition for "ex-photoshoppers" [12:50] molotow: install and use some other window manager.. is one way === wet-chan is now known as wet [12:50] molotow: clarify what it is you are trying to acomplish. [12:50] why isn't the mouse pointer graphics changed when I choose another pointer theme? do I need to reboot? why? [12:50] ubuntu 9.10 ekiga 3.2.6 [12:50] MASARUwota, how is that : all my experiences it looks exactly like normal gimp? [12:51] I have problem with webcam http://pastebin.ca/raw/1719295 [12:51] ubuntu 9.10 ekiga 3.2.6 [12:51] airtonix: well, i never really got into PS, but when i tried gimpshop it was pretty similar to me aswell [12:51] boscop: youi just ahve to log out/back in.. it does 'sort' of change.. but its sort of inconsistant. some new apps WILL use the new pointer. so you get very weirdness unless you logout/back in [12:51] molotow: gnome is you X server you can unisntall it and use ke fluxbox ot other that you install instead [12:51] airtonix: its a different layout for those used to photoshop as far as i am aware. I dont do any graphical work so am not sure with 1st hand experience [12:51] MASARUwota, gimp 2.8 : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/180039/screenshots/2009-12-18-180457_1920x1080_scrot.png [12:51] airtonix: similar to gimp that is [12:51] what is fluxbox? [12:51] Err.. gnome is the 'desktop' it uses metacity as the window manager [12:51] !fluxbox [12:51] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [12:51] Dr_Willis: will my apps keep running when I log out? [12:51] molotow: yet another window manager [12:51] boscop: of coruse not. [12:52] Dr_Willis: is there a way to keep them running? [12:52] what about a graphical 'screen' [12:52] boscop: not in any trivial way. [12:52] boscop: that would be 'vnc' :) [12:52] boscop: set your pointer befor ya start up the apps. :) [12:53] boscop: its a little odd. the older releases you could change ponters on the fly. Not sure whats going on in 9.10 [12:53] but i don't want to have any window manager [12:53] just the application [12:53] molotow: you dont understand what that really means then. You can get 'stuck' without a window manager. [12:53] molotow: YES YOU DO, otherwise you dont have your windows managed [12:53] molotow: so install a very light window manager like flvwm and use it. [12:54] !openbox|molotow [12:54] molotow: openbox is a lightweight window manager. For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox To replace metacity with Openbox please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReplaceMetacityWithOpenbox [12:54] molotow: insatll all them you want.. try them by selecitng them at the GDM login screen [12:54] hi all [12:54] Dr_Willis, hi [12:54] !hi|stanley_robertso [12:54] stanley_robertso: Hi!

[12:54] molotow: no windows manager no gui for all programs just text based terminal [12:54] sena--: you are confused about qwhat a window manager does. [12:55] i want to be able to run just one single application on fullscreen [12:55] a window maanger manages windows. it gives them the borders and other 'features' [12:55] molotow: theres window maangers that manage that specific a task and its best to use them.. OR just make your own whatever.desktop entry for GDM that lauinches whatever it is you want. and go for it. [12:55] Dr_Willis: and can you have a gui without the manager? [12:56] molotow: hope the app never pops up a dialog/file requestor or anything that gets below the main window then. [12:56] sena--, rw mounting of a fs on an usb-stick is no problem. writing to it works. [12:56] molotow: can one run e.g. photoshop in DOS? [12:56] sena--: Yes..You are confuised about what a 'wiondow manager' actually does. [12:56] sena--: Linux runs X , X runs the Window manager, and other apps for the desktop [12:56] sena--: you can run X and just a xterm for example if you wanted to,. [12:56] Dr_Willis: i see thanks [12:57] BUT not using a window manager of any kind can be a real annoyance.. and yes ive done it in the past years ago when i had low ram/low power systems [12:57] I have problem with webcam ubuntu 9.10 ekiga 3.2.6 http://pastebin.ca/raw/1719295 [12:57] hey guys!

To wake it up again i run: echo enable | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/wan My question is, is there already some "wake up" script i can add this command to? [12:57] Dr_Willis: could have just ram flwm, very low ram footprint [12:57] In short. Use a minimal window manager like flvwm, or others [12:57] wuffi600: what is you fs on /, i suppose your stick had fat32 [12:58] Dr_Willis [12:58] isnt that TWM [12:58] ActionParsnip: i was building a 'mame' machine at the time. :) dident want any WM. heh. [12:58] Dr_Willis: could have ran mamux (i think its that) [12:58] MASARUwota: I think flwm and some of the new ones out now may be smaller then twm. but twm well.. stinks. [12:58] Dr_Willis:yes, yes it does =) [12:59] I do like flvwm, and jwm for light/small window managers. [12:59] Dr_Willis: http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/doc-advcd.html ;) [12:59] You get much smaller then those 2 and you start loseing too many handy features [12:59] flvwm-crystal looks amazing [12:59] c'è qualche italiano?

[14:35] ActionParsnip, yes thanks [14:35] I have a quick question for any Ubuntu experts. :0 [14:35] doubledong: try asking it [14:35] The document at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedFilesystems says: "The desktop CD installer can now set up encrypted file systems in all automatic partitioning modes. The alternate installer of Ubuntu 7.10 already supported encryption in "use full disk" and "manual" partitioning modes; 8.04 now also offers encryption when automatically resizing an existing partition or automatically partitioning free space." [14:35] hello [14:35] But I don't see any option for this. :o I'm using the 9.10 standard install. === david is now known as Midnighter [14:36] Well, just tried VLC through the console. I absolutely hate it. [14:36] doubledong: it's in one of the last screens, if you want it to automatically setup encrypted homes on boot [14:36] Ohh, okay. [14:36] Thank you very much. :) I didn't want to nuke my current partitions until I was sure. [14:36] cvlc -vo [14:36] hehe [14:37] Can't wait to try this out on my eeePC. It's the only distro I've tried that has wireless working out of the box. [14:37] ActionParsnip, yes but I can not choose the song [14:37] I am trying cron and made a cronjob simple one like "ls -l /etc/home/chris", I thought the result is displayed in the console, but I can'T see anything and the logfile says cron is doing his job like I told him to do [14:38] hello --if i have a raid 1 array with 3 lvm volumes /,/home ,/data and a non lvm /boot on raid 1, (I said to let it boot if a raid member fails)...will this fail gracefully if i shutdown and disconnect a drive? Will the data on the drive still be available, will i need to do anything to get it to boot? [14:38] MrCatEye: Cronjobs are run by a daemon, no matter if the user is logged in or not. So it is impossible for them to be displayed on console. [14:38] ActionParsnip, you know try to read a music folder using vlc -I ncurses , then tell me what you think [14:38] MrCatEye: So the output of every job is emailed to you (using local mail). [14:38] jmp_: you can use next/previous but i know what you mean, i usully use th web interface or my phone it i just want to put music on when my monitor is off [14:39] jmp_: sure, gimme a sec [14:39] daemons can be run through the console, I run conky with -d. [14:39] MrCatEye: Unless you redirect the output elsewhere using the usual > (and >& and 2> and so on) redirection operators. [14:39] test [14:39] man [14:39] is there a way of installing an up to date version of vlc on my computer? [14:39] ok thanks a lot grawity [14:39] adante: google VLC and find their website for the latest releases. [14:39] jmp_: not bad :) [14:40] adante: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ [14:40] jmp_: how to navigate the list? [14:40] eremite: i have and i have tried the ppa and i can't install because there are some dependencies it won't install [14:40] ActionParsnip, just using the arrow keys [14:40] down and up [14:40] in windows i just download latest version and install it, is this technically impossible in linux? [14:40] adante: I use rhythmbox and mplayer for all my multimedia needs. I hate VLC so Im not the guy to ask, sorry. [14:41] adante: there are probably also repos on launchpad that have it, so you stay updated; if you download a .deb you can just click it as in windoos [14:41] eremite: hmm, on that note can you recommend a frontend for mplayer? [14:41] jmp_: not working via ssh, i'll do it in a terminal using x forwarding [14:42] VCoolio: am i right in thinking these debs are not going to work without the required dependencies, and in general there is no non trivial solution to simply getting vlc 1.0.3 to work on 9.04? [14:42] adante: i mplayer as-is, out of the box. That way it ALWAYS looks good with my theme. [14:42] ActionParsnip, ok you will see that it is more nice than use the GUI [14:43] adante: 9.04 don't know, installer should mention the missing dep so you can look for it; but check smplayer also for frontend [14:43] adante: sudo apt-get install vlc? or from synaptic? [14:43] adante: The VideoLAN website has Debian/Ubuntu repositories, you can use those. [14:43] zoug: that installs 0.9.9 [14:43] I need a big dictionary file with english (technical) words for a task in an informatics competition that requires the construction of anagrams. where do I find such a file? [14:43] any way to have the archive files i mount with archive mounter read/write ( currently they are in a read only state ) [14:44] grawity: tried the ppa's listed there but they need dependencies i don't have [14:44] boscop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300029 -- This might interest you.

[16:39] generallee: ... reboot with init=/bin/sh and fix that (or whatever recovery mode there is these days) [16:39] generallee: boot from a live cd and fix it [16:39] Figured I'd start with Ubuntu. [16:39] oCean_, i mean to show up maximum details [16:39] cant check sfv files with gcfv, right clicked sfv file, open with gcfv.py, nothing running [16:39] <]sober]> ubuntu_, linux for dummies works, but the pocketguide is brill for it [16:39] thankx sober [16:39] generallee: have you only chown'd, or also chmod'd? [16:40] LjL, both [16:40] eh [; [16:40] which gives me this when im running sudo: [16:40] aman: what do you need more then the -xjvf output? [16:40] sudo: must be setuid root [16:40] http://code.google.com/p/gcfv/ i have those progs installed, cant help [16:40] LjL, if I reboot with init-/bin/sh [16:40] <]sober]> oCean_, what would be the next level of instruction that you'd consider after the pocketguide? [16:41] Will networking /ssh work as well? [16:41] I dont have the box near me. [16:41] oCean_, i just need to confirm that it gives the maximum details of the *.tar.bz2 archive than the other 3....:) [16:41] generallee: no, it won't [16:41] ok. [16:41] is there a way to tell the installer to use vesa video? [16:41] ]sober]: most likely a personal issue I guess... since one user might be more interested in only running some apps, other would want to check out some specifics [16:41] Thanks anyway LjL [16:41] i installed nvidia 1.90 drivers and sometimes i get white screen flashes. in nvidia settings panel, the recovered gpu errors increases. how do i prevent these flashes/errors from occurring? [16:42] the flashes are very intermittent. [16:42] Ill boot into recovery mode when i have time to travel to det DC [16:42] <]sober]> okay oCean_ , thanks. trying to learn via google means spending a fair amount of time sorting through sewage [16:42] hmmm, remove media, I get five "Generic STORAGE DEVICE" icons [16:43] aman: other options are used for other actions (such as compress) or for other archives (such as .tar.gz). [16:43] in the Computer window....but none will open [16:43] hey, can anyone give me a link to the latest version of heroes of newerth? [16:43] oCean_, thanks man for confirming me....:) [16:43] just got a betakey [16:43] shortly after I insert the media, all five dissapear again [16:44] is it possible to create a cron job in ubuntu live cd? [16:44] ]sober]: indeed. Make your choice in what interests you most. Then you can narrow down the documentation you are looking for. For example, after desktop install, many users setup their own webserver (lamp = linux, apache, mysql and php) [16:44] guys, where does ubuntu store shortcuts in applicaton panel? [16:45] Classic: Right at the bottom of the Applications menu. It's called Ubuntu Software Center [16:45] <]sober]> oCean_, just explaining what i'd like to setup would take half an hour :) it's icky [16:45] EastDallas, i meant on harddrive [16:45] Classic, its not really a folder of shortcuts. its a configuration file that gnome reads. [16:46] diabolix, just i uninstalled wine, and i still have shortcuts for it.. [16:46] Classic: I misunderstood. The software center used to be called the "ubuntu store" [16:46] Classic: Do you want to add something? [16:46] EastDallas, no, i need to remove links to wine that is uninstalled [16:46] someone playing heroes of newerth with ubuntu 9.10? [16:47] Classic: Right click on the word 'Applications' and choose Edit Menus [16:47] <]sober]> Classic, if you rightclick on applications and go to edit...

I did download ubuntu but it didnt give me gui and I need one as it needs to accessed by famqily [16:55] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, single video card in it? do you get a login screen only? [16:56] nigelcourtney, the ubuntu server version is for people who don't wan't/need a gui. you probably just want the normal version of ubuntu. the only difference is what comes pre-installed. [16:56] Diverdude: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox [16:56] EastDallas, ahhh yes i got it deleted thx [16:56] klk [16:56] no I get functionality, be it very slow. There is a second ( onboard ) card which is disabled, so I can see a screen but very slow, when I go to device manager it comes up "code 12" not enough resources [16:57] would the normal version of ubuntu handle 8xxeons ? if it did great !, I do like it and use it regularly [16:57] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, disabled where? suggest ensuring that it's disabled in the bios proper [16:57] there is an on board switch to disable it, [16:58] nigelcourtney, yes. its the same operating system, its just that one version comes with a server, and the other comes with a gui.

[16:59] Kwpolska: any tips how i should do it please? [16:59] cananyone tell me,, when we check permission of a file it shows owner of the file in 3rd column but what corresponds to 4th column.??? [16:59] nigelcourtney, you probably want the 64 bit version, but yes. its the same kernel in both oses. [16:59] ]sober] no there are no options to disable the video card in bios , justt a hardware switch [16:59] yancho: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cron or http://lmgtfy.com/?q=crontab [16:59] aman: yes, I'm here. 4th column is (user-) group [16:59] diablolix, can I just check, I know my cpus are 32bit so still install 64bit os? [17:00] Kwpolska: that's not useful. [17:00] nigelcourtney, xeons are 64 bit. [17:00] diablolix, bus is 64 bit [17:00] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, you're primarily trying to get it work within win03, with linux as a trial to fix it, if i'm understanding right [17:00] oh [17:00] oCean_, how can we change that?? if we want to? [17:00] LJL: google is our friend. [17:00] !google | Kwpolska [17:00] Kwpolska: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:00] nigelcourtney, you wouldn't be able to use 10GB of ram if they weren't. [17:00] aman: have a read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [17:00] Kwpolska: i searched .. and i know how to use cron .. the problem is that on the live cd its like its not saving or something .. when i open crontab it comes as if its opening something and hangs [17:00] ]sober] yes but there is nothing to stop me moving over to linux perminantly [17:00] What command can you use to determine how many physical RAM DIMMs you haveo n yoru system? [17:01] yancho: you mean the system-wide crontab in /etc/crontab, or your user's? [17:01] Including unused slots. [17:01] diablix, I thought that was the physical address extension that did that? [17:01] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, i actually had a recent problem that was similar, but it was a heat issue. found two burst caps on the video card and a dead fan. ymmv on that though [17:01] aman: The 4th is group permission details [17:01] LjL: since im in a livecd .. i am on the systemwide .. sudo crontab i did [17:01] yancho: "sudo crontab" edits root's crontab, which is *not* the same as the systemwide /etc/crontab [17:01] oCean_, M1TE5H thanks...:) [17:02] right, ok well I am going to install ubuntu 9.10 on it, see what it can and cannot do, [17:02] yancho: have you tried "crontab" without sudo (you might need root privileges for what you're doing, i don't know, but just to troubleshoot) [17:02] aman: by default in ubuntu same group name as you are login name [17:02] yacc: "crontab -e", that is [17:02] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, you could try using ubuntu (normal version) from a liveCD first (or from usb, whatever) [17:02] yancho: "crontab -e", that is [17:02] M1TE5H, can we change that? [17:02] yeah I do have a live cd [17:02] does the normal installer for karmic have options for drive/home encryption, or will i have to get the alternate installer for that? [17:02] Templar_Xion: I think "sudo lshw -C memory" will show that [17:02] LjL: great now im in the menu to choose the editor [17:02] linduxed, yes it have [17:03] <]sober]> nigelcourtney, that'd be my suggestion to start out with [17:03] right booting up the beast now === paulofreitas is now known as PauloRicardo [17:03] oCean_, looks like I have 2 banks...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:38] EastDallas, Ok I did all that should I reboot now? [17:38] brenda: select printer from database [17:38] I know ubuntu will auto mount stuff when I login at home using gdm into gnome, and then from the Places menu I click on the drive (e.g. a 320gb usb hdd in this case) then the drive appears mounted under the /media directory. isn't there an equivalent command to do this from the cli (e.g. remotely over ssh?) so i can access those files? [17:39] brenda: no need to reboot...try and print a test page [17:39] jelly-bean, mount [17:39] LizardK|ng: that requires me to know the device in /dev [17:39] hi [17:39] sudo mount -a doesn't do it either [17:39] If I wanted to encrypt my swap and /tmp partitions, with a random new key everytime I boot, how can I go about doing that? [17:39] can lighthttpd be used as a transparent proxy? [17:39] jelly-bean, im not following, do you have a hard drive permanently installed on your computer and you want to mount it remotely on another computer via ssh? [17:40] jelly-bean, you're right you need to know the devicename [17:40] mMezquitale: the computer is at home and has a usb hdd connected to it, but not mounted yet. i am remoting into the machine from work using ssh, and i want access to that drive but need to mount it first. [17:40] hugo, hi [17:40] EastDallas, ok the printer comes up in firefox print. I don't have any ink right now but what I really need to do is use the scanner. xsane still does not detect anything after changing the driver. [17:40] I am having very jumpy/choppy Hulu video. Not quite sure why only hulu..youtube seems fine. Any one able to assist? [17:40] LizardK|ng: I tried umount /mnt [17:40] LizardK|ng: i am hoping ubuntu can figure it out and just mount all the drives that normally appear under the Places menu for me [17:41] Anyway thanks folks [17:41] I think I'll reboot [17:41] Bye [17:41] jelly-bean, which FS do u have on this disk [17:41] ]sober]: i didnt ask you specifically. but thanks for trying...if you can think of those "other places" beside alsamixer to increase volume, let me know [17:41] jelly-bean, yes, you do have to mount it, you can mount it via ssh, I suggest you add it to your fstab file so that it gets mounted automatically after every reboot though [17:41] Hello. [17:41] pcl0adl3tt3r: did you enable hardware acceleration? they recently modified their player, and I had to enable it to get things to a reasonable speed [17:41] jelly-bean, mount -a mounts everything in fstab, and to put the drives in fstab you'd need to know the devicename [17:41] how do i do that [17:41] pcl0adl3tt3r: right click on the video and go to properties, then enable acceleration [17:41] Since I set some configuration in nvidia-settings I cannot use the mouse. [17:41] mMezquitale: i dont use it often enough for that :( [17:41] what would a usb hdd device look like under /dev then? i dont see it as one of the sd[a-z][0-9] ? [17:42] hello please i am hugues et i news user for linux please estce que we give me help [17:42] hi can anyone tell me how to upgrade with a 9.10 cd from 9.04? [17:42] Can somebody help me? [17:42] can i use the basic cd or do i need the alternate? [17:42] eaglestar, why not use the mgr? [17:42] eaglestar: alternate or do it from network [17:42] <]sober]> arghh2d2, there's a "front" setting within the control that needs turned up? [17:42] eaglestar, just use the cd , then proceed to the installation [17:43] jelly-bean, you could write a script or a cheat note that tells you how to mount it, that way you can just login from ssh, execute your script or look at your cheat sheet, mount it then unmount it once youre done [17:43] trism: how do increase hardware acceleration? [17:43] ]sober]: where is it? [17:43] eaglestar ,the basic is better [17:43] pcl0adl3tt3r: there isn't really an increase, it is either on or off (checked or unchecked) [17:43] !ask | hugo [17:43] hugo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[17:44] *Which are. [17:44] eaglestar, then you will install like a new os, but you need to save all ur config files such as .bashrc, .vimrc in a pen drive [17:44] EastDallas, the printer seems to work but the scanner still does not. [17:45] <]sober]> arghh2d2, you're using karmic yes? [17:45] hugo, what is ur problem [17:45] i can't start the computer so am tring to fix it and save fles by upgrading i updated and now it doesnt run [17:45] how can i disable pulse audio? [17:45] seealso: can you restore your xorg.conf? [17:45] pcl0adl3tt3r: right click on the hulu video player, click on settings... and check the "enable hardware acceleration" box. If that doesn't work, not sure what else to try, the linux flash player is unfortunately slower than windows (it worked for me though) [17:45] yes , upgrading from jaunty to koala is not quite good [17:45] k i got the drive mounted under /media. my wife did it by clicking in Places tho for me. how can i tell which device is being used to mount a directory if i only have the path to the directory? [17:45] my english is not good because i speack french [17:46] ]sober]: no, jaunty [17:46] trism: i tried that, it is enabled [17:46] guess im out of luck [17:46] jelly-bean, right click it and go to properties. or type mount in terminal [17:46] ironmanerz: By doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I am unable to use the mouse too.

[17:51] please help me [17:51] does anybody know an ubuntu package for a network analyser (that supports multiple interfaces) like ntop.. but one that doesn't depend on x11?

[17:53] but it's a server with minimal disk space, so i can't go and install x11 on it :) [17:53] it is maybe the largest breakage of ubuntu history, if you folks let me add, :( [17:54] hugo, t'es là [17:54] Hello. [17:54] I was see also. [17:54] Seealso. [17:55] With a fresh Ubuntu Install, what are the two extra extended partitions for [17:55] /dev/sda1 * 1 1824 14651248+ 83 Linux [17:55] /dev/sda2 8666 9039 3004155 5 Extended [17:55] /dev/sda3 1825 8665 54950332+ 83 Linux [17:55] /dev/sda5 8666 9039 3004123+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [17:55] LlamaZorz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:55] <]sober]> ok [17:55] Hi all, i am having problems with Cdrom in Ubuntu 9.04, if i click on the cd-rom0 icon under Places i get this error message http://pastebin.com/mbc01f7b i have tried to mount it manually but i got this error ( block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only). Any tips? === warriorforgod is now known as Guest54577 [17:55] LlamaZorz, extended is a container partition [17:55] LlamaZorz, it contains other partitions (that are called logical) [17:56] But what is it for? [17:56] LlamaZorz, swap is a extension of ram (very useful, windows does this usually by a paging file) [17:56] matteo1990: Thats not an error. It can only mount read-only media in read-only [17:56] brenda: I wasn't able to find anything that I thought might be helpful. Other than this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/314364. If no one else here can be of help, you might want to post your problem at ubuntuforums.org. sorry :( [17:56] LlamaZorz, it justs sums up all your logical partitions (that begin in /dev/sda5 and goes to /dev/sdaXX) [17:56] hey guys. ubuntu server is offering to create an LVM partition, is this standard also for ubuntu desktop? [17:56] anyone near dc can tell me which mirror is fastest i am on windows computer [17:56] this is during installation of course [17:57] LlamaZorz, the standard layout of partitions puts a constraint of 4 partitions per hd. you can have up to 256 logical partitions inside a extended one [17:57] siema [17:57] LlamaZorz, partitions outside the extended partition are called physical [17:57] eaglestar: download via torrent [17:57] Ok, But I only have 3 physical partitions [17:57] jest ktos z polski? [17:57] LlamaZorz: and also when you hibernate the system, all the memory get put in swap in a "frozen state"... [17:57] ubuntu 8.04 server - I have created my own grub splash image which loads just fine. However, no matter what changes I make to the COLOR setting in menu.lst the colors are never applied. Is this a know issue and if so is there a work around? [17:58] Hilikus LVM is nice, EXT3 is nicer and EXT4 is available too [17:58] LlamaZorz, you could reorder your partitions but it would save you no data [17:58] LlamaZorz, no space i mean [17:59] sda1 is my root, sda3 is my home and sda5 is my swap, I just dont get what the sda2 does/ [17:59] Hilikus, LVM is not a filesystem per se', but a partition manager [17:59] Hi all, i am having problems with Cdrom in Ubuntu 9.04, if i click on the cd-rom0 icon under Places i get this error message http://pastebin.com/mbc01f7b i have tried to mount it manually but i got this error ( block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only). Any tips? [17:59] my question is, if i go with LVM and inside it say i create 2 ext4 partitions, one for / and one for /home, and by accident i remove the first one, what would happend with /home, since the "outter" partition is LVM and i just removed a chunk of it [17:59] hello everyone ;) i've got a question (problem actually) ... I want to run an app. on Wine in ubuntu karmic, but it shows up an error saying "Due to securty reasons...blabla...turn off system debuggers.." ... does anyone know how to fix this? [18:00] does the remote desktop feature in 9.10 just not work, I havent been able to get it to work at all [18:00] i can't install GRUB2, apt-get tells me "E: package grub2 has no installation candidate" [18:00] How do we tell what video driver is in use when xorg.conf does not exist? [18:00] LjL, is syslogd daemon manages most of the system logs on the machine?????? [18:00] has anyone ever setup an ubuntu dns server w/ dhcp to share (by forwarding dns) an alltel cell dial up internet connection from a windows machine? [18:00] aman: yes [18:00] LlamaZorz, it is a set of partitions that contains just one, /dev/sda5 [18:00] whats a proper cdda ripper like eac? [18:00] Hilikus, nothing. you would have removed the root partition, which of course will make the system unbootable, but the home partition would remain. It will of course depend on LVM remaining in tact [18:00] ZeiP: cdparanoia [18:01] LjL, wat about anacron and kerneld?? [18:01] LlamaZorz, that's because you actually have just 3 partitions: sda1, sda2, sda3. sda5 (and, if you add sda6, sda7, sda8...) is/are inside sda2 [18:01] LlamaZorz: I am not completely sure either, but I know that ubuntu does like to create extended partitions to put the swap partition in, In some cases it might be convenient becasue of the 4-primary limit, but sometimes it just does, in practice I don't think it does much difference.. [18:01] aman: what about them? [18:01] So you are saying that sda5 is a logical partition, and since I was about to make the 4th partitions sda5, the installer said its a better idea to made sda2 as a extended to hold extra logicals in the future? [18:01] LlamaZorz, don't worry about this, your partition table is just fine. (i would worry about the sda3 coming before sda2, but maybe because i am too perfectionist) [18:01] hey folks updating apt, and am getting some repos not found, but those listed as not found are not in sources.list, where else would they be? I think I may have added some incorrect ones with add-apt-repository... === newbie is now known as sburwood [18:02] LlamaZorz, yes, i think so [18:02] joshjtl: they'd be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [18:02] Hilikus your '/home' partition will remain, and can be re-mounted in a new installation [18:02] hello everyone ;) i've got a question (problem actually) ... I want to run an app. on Wine in ubuntu karmic, but it shows up an error saying "Due to securty reasons...blabla...turn off system debuggers.." ... does anyone know how to fix this???? please i tried alot of forums with no luck :( [18:02] LjL, i mean i want to ask they are less in use than syslogd?? [18:02] Hilikus, technically, if you have a boot part that is not wrapped in lvm then the system wouldn't strictly speaking be unbootable, but unusable as you wouldn't have a mounted root part, but that's a triviality and I think you question has more to do with how deleting one partition effects another. [18:02] zanberdo: how will it remain intact? i actually had that problem (or similar) i had a partition that extended two physical areas and from windows i formatted one of the two into NTFS (so LVM was screwed now) and AFAIK the LVM metadata was lost so all the data was lost, even in the untouched part [18:02] LjL: so i just need to look through all of those? [18:03] aman: anacron is not for storing logs, and i don't know what kerneld is [18:03] LlamaZorz, if you worry about tables you might want to save this output on a file on a pen drive or similar, in the case of it being damaged [18:03] this is the actual error msg: For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again. [18:03] anyone? ;) [18:03] Hilikus, if I understand your situation correctly: LVM remains intact but you've deleted a specific partition within the LVM container, yes? So, with LVM remaining intact the other partition (/home in your example) should remain unhindered [18:03] Just purchased a usb slide scanner. Brand = Zolid. Model 50643. It isn't recognized by 9.10. I need to do what to make it function? [18:03] Im in the process of learning how to encrypt file-systems, and was just interested in what it was, [18:03] vladinho: Maybe it thinks Wine is a debugger? [18:03] hey guys, I'm having some problems with usb bus resets in jaunty - did anybody else experience such problems? my usb disk are going to sleep and about every 30 minutes an usb bus reset wakes them up. [18:03] LjL, oh ok no problem i m googling too and will let you know if got any answer....:) [18:03] vladinho: What program is that? [18:03] zanberdo: actually no, i think LVM was not intact, only a PART of it was intact [18:03] LlamaZorz, and maybe a metadata image of the filesystem if it get on a state that fsck wouldn't recover (but then you might want to make weekly or monthly images) [18:04] grawity: i don't know..i'm kinda noob with wine and linux [18:04] grawity: 2 programs actually...gives me the same error [18:04] Hi [18:04] grawity: a very simple win game [18:04] anyone chat with me [18:04] LlamaZorz, encrypting basically makes your data look like random data unless it is unencrypted using whatever password you desire [18:04] so that's my concern, in LVM it seams because its all "virtual", if you destroy a part of it, it even destroys the untouched part of it indirectly, is this not right? [18:05] grawity: and a dictionary [18:05] I was invited to go to unisupport.net but it is in Dutch and tells me it only works on Windows [18:05] please give the commant to login as root [18:05] lvzlife: Sure, (we all are). [18:05] sudo [18:05] Hilikus, lvm creates physical volumes that then permit the creation of logical volumes that then permit you to partition the logical volumes however you choose. if you did not touch the physical or logical volumes and only removed a partition created within a logical volume, then LVM should not be effected, just the partition in question. [18:05] srdjan: For a single command, use "sudo " [18:05] grawity: any idea? ;) [18:06] How does one discover which video driver is in use? [18:06] anyone wanna help me with my slide scanner? [18:06] srdjan: For a root shell, read the manpage of 'sudo'. [18:06] sburwood: We'll try... [18:06] in order to disable compiz on 9.10, what do you have to do? There's three settings in "Appearance" none, medium and high. Is None the only one that turns it off? [18:06] Hilikus, for instance, I use LVM to create two physical volumes for my netbook: a 4GB PV and a 16 GB PV which I then created a single LV of 20GB which I further partitions (and encrypted) for my file system. if I were to delete say sda5 (as an example), LVM would be unaffected, just the partition I removed. [18:07] sburwood: Here's how it works. You ask questions, someone who knows will try and answer. [18:07] sburwood, have you tried scanning using applications in ubuntu? [18:07] zanberdo: well, i guess i did touch the physical volume, windows doesn't know about lvm so i guess it formatted the PHYSICAL volume. i had 2 physical volumes that i made into 1 logical volume. but for argument's sake assume each physical volume was a logical volume. if the first PHYSICAL volume is destroyed, will the second one die too? i thought so because the metadata is lost as well [18:07] Hilikus, I missed a step, I created another PV out of the two PV's, which allowed for a single PV to create the LV from ... but that's a triffle [18:07] My wife and I have slides that we want to digitalize the slides and put them on a cd. It isn't recognized [18:08] sburwood: What isn't recognized? [18:08] hey guys, I'm having some problems with usb bus resets in jaunty - did anybody else experience such problems? my usb disk are going to sleep and about every 30 minutes an usb bus reset wakes them up. [18:08] mMezquiltale I used xsane, but it doesn't find the scanner [18:08] sburwood: What is the make and model of your scanner? [18:08] Hilikus, your mixing windows into the equation takes me out of my depth. But based on your description if you mangled a PV it's dependent LV will be disrupted. [18:08] sburwood, have you tried scanning using applications in ubuntu? My HP scanner worked without a problem and I didnt know how to scan, all I had to do was hook it up and install an application, the application found the application just fine [18:08] Hi all, i am having problems with Cdrom in Ubuntu 9.04, if i click on the cd-rom0 icon under Places i get this error message http://pastebin.com/mbc01f7b i have tried to mount it manually but i got this error ( block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only). Any tips? [18:09] cap One the box, it says Zolid [18:09] mM, I used xsane [18:09] matteo1990, read only is not an error, only a message [18:09] EliasAmaral, mMezquitale, I understand what the encryption does, I just wanted to know if temp files were stored in /dev/sda2, the extended partition of my drive. [18:09] hm, no answer is an answer... === teabag is now known as darksector [18:09] I hooked it in the USB port and the light is on [18:09] sburwood, type the first couple of letters, then hit tab otherwise your message might not be read [18:09] zanberdo: yea, what you're saynig is removing sda5 the right way, using LVM tools. what i'm talking about is an accident, like windows formatting it, or a part of the disk just dieing. i just want to know how independent are the individual logical volumes [18:09] !who [18:09] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:10] sburwood: Let's look: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html [18:10] mMezquitale: oh, I didn't see that [18:10] Hilikus, yeah, I think if your PV's are whacked you can bet the associated LV's are also whacked. [18:10] hi, on older ubuntu version the startup splash screen had a progress bar, which showed how far the boot was. on ubuntu 9.10 i only see a black screen with a white ubuntu logo on it and the console box with the messages [18:10] LlamaZorz, the ones from /tmp ? by default they will be stored in / without encryption (i may be mistaken) [18:10] is that black screen the normal ubuntu 9.10 boot screen? [18:10] matteo1990, no priv messages please, in the channel [18:10] hi i have just made a fresh install of ubuntu jaunty and upgraded to karmic. i cant seem to find fsck.ntfs, what should i do ????? [18:10] cap, lspci -v should detail all that out - video drivers [18:11] Hilikus, I'm curious how windows got into the mix. Did you attempt to install windows after you'd already installed linux? [18:11] >laclasse mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [18:11] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [18:11] EliasAmaral, well from /tmp and was the virtual address space in the swap. [18:11] sburwood: Does lsusb tell you anything. [18:11] sburwood, there's a chance your scanner is not supported by the software, if you want to find out if ubuntu can recognize your scanner post the results to pastebin using "lspci -v" in a terminal [18:11] hi all, ive tried emailing with mail -s, but the messages get stuck in gmails spam folder. Anyway to change the from email address to something other then my pc name so maybe this will get fixed? [18:11] matteo1990, thats is fine, not an error. [18:11] LlamaZorz, /tmp is a ram disk when you install ubuntu? [18:12] Ok, i have understand that this is not an error message but i can't open my cd XD [18:12] hello everyone ;) i've got a question (problem actually) ... I want to run an app. on Wine in ubuntu karmic, but it shows up an error saying "Due to securty reasons...blabla...turn off system debuggers.." ... does anyone know how to fix this???? please i tried alot of forums with no luck :( [18:12] this is the actual error msg: For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active.

[18:13] Hmm :) [18:13] zanberdo: partially my fault, but windows also screwed up. i bought a new hdd that had no partition table so i didn't know how to create a PT from linux so i say i'll do it from windows by just telling it to format the drive. i remembered the unit appears there and when you access it it detects it's not formatted and offers to do it. so i did that but the unit that appeared in windows was not from the new drive but my LVM partition. so windows sug [18:13] gested to format it when it should have jsut detected that it was being used for something else and leave it untouched [18:14] hello everybody... how do I mess with the default gdm settings when nobody is logged in? I would like my laptop to not hibernate when I close the lid at the login screen [18:14] ok got it installed [18:14] burzki: Thank you. [18:14] vladinho: What is the game name?

Is this a burn cd or an original / factory pressed one? [18:15] cap, find what you were looking for? [18:15] LjL, if suppose permissions of directory is like "drw-r--r-- shirley graphics". And i create a file under this directory then can u tell me the owner and groupname of that file???? === teabag is now known as darksector [18:15] what's beyond light-speed bothing of 10.04 ?

[18:16] how to answer to you like you do with me? (i mean with the yellow name on the left) [18:16] aman: the owner will be shirley, since that's the only one allowed to write to the directory, but the group could be anything (probably shirley again) [18:16] mMezquitale: what is the pastebin site? [18:16] sburwood: to share information [18:16] zanberdo: basically, windows thought it was unassigned space when in reality it was an LVM type partition [18:16] matteo1990: we dont.. Your irc client highlights lines with your nick in them [18:16] cap I know that [18:16] Hello [18:16] sburwood: There are several.

Other then that. Not sure how else to tweak them. [18:17] hey anyone know how to get aircrack-ng to work with iwi4965?

How do I fix that? [18:18] hydrosis: open preferences, and change the .cbz to the appropiate application [18:18] LjL, actually i m confused with that 's' in the permissions. Is it a sticky bit? [18:19] Hydrosis: in the firefox preferences att the application tab [18:19] Hydrosis: perhaps set the 'openwith' setting for .cbz to defailt to comix, or set it where it only opens with comix [18:19] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d269df270 [18:19] aman: no, setgid [18:19] aman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setgid_on_directories [18:19] matteo1990, type the first couple letters of the name, 'tab' should finish it [18:19] !tab [18:19] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

You might try booting to a live CD and using the lvm tools to see if you can even see the pv's or lv's. [18:20] Hydrosis: then you need to set it to open by default in Ubuntu's preferences or the apps preferences [18:20] OK, I got it. Thanks. [18:21] * null_x86 needs help!!!! [18:21] * zeitlos too [18:21] null_x86: you may want to check the aircrack homepage/faq/foruimns for what chipset it supports [18:21] ok [18:21] Hilikus, If you can see the lv which contains your home part then maybe you can recover it. [18:21] mMezquitale: do you understand what the problem is? [18:22] one more try in case someone new knows: running ubuntu 8.04 server - I have created my own grub splash image which loads just fine. However, no matter what changes I make to the COLOR setting in menu.lst the colors are never applied. Is this a know issue and if so is there a work around? [18:22] how do i change the from property of an email sent with linux mail? [18:22] Dr_Willis: i know it supports the 3945abg and it works with my 4965agn, but i cant get anything when i try to get a key [18:23] null_x86: ive no idea on aircrack. [18:23] anyone have any ideas on aircrack?? [18:23] LjL, i have 4 options the g of shirley, the o of shirley, the g of graphics, the o of graphics??? which of these applies to that ??

[18:24] just installed karmic. Network app is giving me some problems. When I log in, it says it's acquiring address for auto eth0, but then fails to connect. if I immediately click on it and select "auto eth0" it connects. What's up with that? [18:24] can i upgrade form a live cd or shpuld i use an alternate? [18:24] null_x86: thats why i suggest the aircrack homepage/forums [18:24] i need gnome-terminal tutorial and all comands i am just a beginer [18:24] Dr_Willis: thats where im checking [18:24] srdjan: technially its 'shell commands' gnome-terminal is just a terminal. :) [18:24] zanberdo: sorry, no help from me - but a question out of curiosity: why on earth do you care about the appearance of the grub menu on a *server* ?

[18:27] guntbert, very good question. I have created a branded splash image that our customers will see when the system reboots. It's not critical but it's a 'nice-to-have' feature. The problem is that the background color of the image is white and having white text (thankfully with black shadow or you'd see nothing at all) doesn't show up very well [18:27] mMezquitale: the 'sane' homepage may have some info on specific scanners. Every scanner ive had was supported.

In the address, I saw 8.04 [18:28] hey whats the shell command for finding out my kernel version?

It spins and fails, but if I go to click on it and then click "auto eth0" it connects. [18:35] jejeje hola [18:35] wokka: this is a wired or wireless network? [18:35] Dr_Willis, wired [18:35] wokka: that is weird. [18:35] Linux4Family you installed a modem? drivers used, and modem type please [18:36] wokka: my wired is connected even befor I login. [18:36] hsf modem [18:36] Dr_Willis, yep. The first time I log in, it is actually sort of frozen on the spinning graphic. Then the notify bubble kindly informs me that I'm not connected. === comegalleta is now known as escorpionrojo [18:36] wokka, that happens on my laptop all the time, wired I have to take eth0 down then bring it up, wireless I have to manually click on the correct network [18:36] wokka: i wonder if a ifdown/ifup command in the rc.local may kick it in the head.

I could be wrong. :) [19:47] siropio: you can use dpkg -S /path/to/command to find what package it is in, then apt-get source package_name to download the code into the current directory [19:48] Scunizi: the logic of it excapes me. :) either leave it at starting at 0 or make both start at 1.. but not 1/2 way :) [19:48] hi, my NTFS partition has been interrupted and i cannot mount it any more , is there anyway that i can fix its partition table and be able to mount it again ?

[19:50] from my extra disks [19:50] Dr_Willis: docs, u mean the official site? [19:50] meero_: yes. Those places tend to have the best docs/support forums/faq :) [19:51] hey [19:51] meero_: if you like irssi. you may want to try out the latest weechat. It has some very nice features not in irssi. [19:52] guntbert aha got it thanks man! [19:52] ok im runing #!crunchbox and i want to duel boot it with pclinuxos minime will that work [19:52] timmerz: You may need tio manually add the proper entries to the grub menus dependisn on what grub its using. [19:52] timmerz: and isent it 'crunchbang' ? [19:52] timmerz: you should be able to dual boot most anything.. just remember that the last thing installed will also install the default boot loader for that system. [19:52] yea lol [19:53] how do i use awk to concatenate a string i'm piping into it that contains multiple lines and transform it into one line separated by spaces? === |Logitech| is now known as Overflow [19:53] timmerz: it pays to up your grub-fu skills when atempting to do such a task. [19:53] I always install Windows first, then ubuntu. Windows on the first half of the disc, and usually only a small partitian. === tato is now known as gatekeeper === Overflow is now known as |Logitech| [19:53] single line seperated by spaces? How do you use spaces to seperate lines? [19:54] haha fuck winblows [19:54] expecially a single line. :) [19:54] ahhh! my machine upon startup this morning said that i have no disk space left. it literally said 100% disk space. it shows my /var/log as being 22GB, but there is nothing that big inside of /var/log [19:54] I like Windows. Things work. [19:54] the reboot did the trick i'm up and running thanks [19:54] timmerz: language [19:54] if i look at gparted i have more than that remaining [19:54] wtf is going on? [19:54] I use windows for gaming, thats it. [19:54] Hydrosis: i tend to find the oppsite of that when i use windows. [19:54] dport, same. [19:54] is it worth it to put /home on a separate partition? seems to me its kind of pointless since if the / partition goes down your going to lose alot of settings and libs anyway :\ [19:54] * Dr_Willis makes $$ using Ubuntu live cd's to rescue friends windows systems.. [19:55] If i'm not planning on playing a game I stay booted into ubuntu all the time [19:55] reign2: its Great when you reinstall. [19:55] Dr_Willis: I prefer Linux, but im a gamer. [19:55] nerdy_kid_: nice :) [19:55] reign2: and id rather / go down and lose some settings then /home go down and lose my err.. vacation videos. [19:55] i don't play windows games unless they run under wine [19:56] pting: you are missing out on most games. [19:56] ok i really need help with my networking [19:56] i gave up on windows i bought a net book with no disk drive the recovery partiotion corrupted the disks acer sent me went even formatted and i cant get the copy of win xp that i rightfully own from buying my machine with it [19:56] Dr_Willis: ah I see; so its basically to save files [19:56] Dr_Willis: I've been using irssi for some time but weechat looks promising. [19:56] * Dr_Willis equates 'im a gamer' to someone bragging about 'i sit all day and watch tv' :) [19:56] Linux gaming is a joke. Does anone know of a GOOD fps that doesnt look like a nintendo64 game? [19:56] anyone? my disk space is shown as 100% used. gparted shows otherwise. [19:56] hello. i want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. im going to install windows 7 first. would the best way to do to be to create an extended partition, and then 4 primary partitions in there: 1 windows, 1 ubuntu, 1 swap, and 1 storage between the two? googling dual booting but it doesnt seem to say much about extended partitions, and id like to access a shared storage between ubuntu and windows. [19:56] hi, ubuntu one within pass? [19:56] when i boot with the newest kernel it tells me power manager was incorrectly installed [19:56] and wont log in [19:57] Scunizi: yea. the 3.0 version (not in the repos yet) has some very nice features. the 'smart hideing' of join/part/quits is soooo handy. [19:57] yet another ubuntu filesystem bug [19:57] Hydrosis: wine runs pretty much anything I throw at it for the most part with minor issues [19:57] freaking annoyin [19:57] Hydrosis: look on www.getdeb.net for prepackaged .debs .. all their software is done by catagory [19:57] Bilz, windows first then use gparted from the Live CD to make partition. It will make yoru swaps automatically for you. [19:57] qed: what does df -h report? [19:57] 100% use [19:57] size: 46GB, used: 44GB [19:57] qed, on your /var mount? [19:57] Use 100% [19:58] Dr_Willis: in irssi I just /ignore joins parts quits and it's done .. then /save .. [19:58] reign2: I cant get wine to run the apps I need, like Cool Edit Pro and some games. Game will work, but they all lag. The same games work fine on the same machine with Windows. [19:58] Hydrosis, but I should put them all in an extended partition yes? [19:58] qed, or do you just have one huge partition [19:58] qed thats the tune2fs reserved block [19:58] wow u guys r playing with little drives 44 gig? [19:58] Scunizi: thats not 'smart' hideing. [19:58] one partition [19:58] qed i have same problem with my 4Gb microsd card [19:58] Dr_Willis: probably not .. lol.. [19:58] i had 5 gigs left yesterday when i shut down [19:58] Does there present any different between libreadline5 and libreadline6? (that lib seems to do the same) [19:58] Scunizi: if someone that has never chatted just joins/parts i DONT see that .. if YOU part- I do see it. === sniper is now known as Guest5400 [19:58] qed, ext3? ext4? [19:58] That is a small drive [19:58] ./dev/sda1 3944244 3587128 317360 92% / === Guest5400 is now known as Sniper_31 [19:58] ext4 [19:58] Scunizi: and i can alt-= and show all the parts/joins on the fly :) [19:58] err sorry [19:58] Dr_Willis: that's cool [19:58] ext3 [19:58] !who [19:58] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:59] qed: the reserved space, maybe? [19:59] qed, hum... have you tried disk usage analyzer? [19:59] Scunizi: yep. VERY handy. and it has some scripts to manage all the scripts at their web site. so you can use a command in the client to check/install/update your scripts [19:59] pting: yes it shows var/log as being 22GB [19:59] which is freaking huge [19:59] qed: try tune2fs and the -m option trips your trigger [19:59] none of the files below it are that big [19:59] qed: Same here. [19:59] Scunizi: i dont see myself going back to irssi any time soon. :) [20:00] * Flare183 has a massive user.log file [20:00] how do you use tune2fs [20:00] qed, hum... and nothing's in the /var/log folder? [20:00] tune2fs -m /dev/sdb1? [20:00] * Flare183 needs to clean it up with the LiveCD [20:00] pting: nothing man [20:00] Hydrosis: yeah wine isnt perfect; some games dont run properly and not all programs work (any media player using ffdshow for instance) [20:00] qed: qwith a sudo in there.. and the changes normally DONT take affect till after a reboot. (or the system some how remounts the filesystem) [20:00] has nautilus .gnome/nautilus-scripts been deprecated on ubuntu? [20:01] Dr_Willis: can i run this while the FS is mounted? [20:01] Aciid: i still see/use some nautilus scripts [20:01] qed: yes you can. but the changes dont take affect untill after its remounted. [20:01] tune2fs: bad reserved block ratio - /dev/sdb1 [20:01] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [20:01] qed: I normally set the label, and the reserved space to be like a few blocks or 1% on some drives [20:01] Aciid: it's .gnome2/nautilus-scripts [20:01] Dr_Willis: could you give me an example? [20:02] qed: check the docs/manpages theres several ways to set the reserve [20:02] im at work and desperate to get this fixed [20:02] tune2fs /dev/sdb1 -m [%youwanttochangeitto] [20:02] qed: i think -m 0 = 0% [20:02] hello. i want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. im going to install windows 7 first. would the best way to do to be to create an extended partition, and then 4 primary partitions in there: 1 windows, 1 ubuntu, 1 swap, and 1 storage between the two? googling dual booting but it doesnt seem to say much about extended partitions, and id like to access a shared storage between ubuntu and windows. [20:02] Dr_Willis: what does this do? [20:02] qed: or ya can do it by block. [20:02] i believe 10% is the default, i'd go as low as 5% on a 40Gb partition cause there won't be much need for more [20:02] I'm using Thrunderbird as my rss reader and would like to be able to remove all thml formatting in rss feed displays. How can I accomplish this? [20:02] 5% is the default kitty_ [20:02] 5% reserved on a 1tb hd = quite a bit of space. :) [20:03] i mean, why the hell is this happening? i had 5.7GB yesterday when i shut down [20:03] how did it magically become 0% free space [20:03] qed: no idea. [20:03] man, this is the second time ubuntu has given me serious filesystem issues [20:03] ok i was wrong, all i know is i came in with the exact problem he has and i went around deleting old kernel versions, logs in my /var/log and killing system monitors like atop and removing logging features for network traffic that would fill my partition in minutes [20:03] qed: i got more then 5.7gb in just wallpaper in my /home :) [20:03] hehe [20:03] Dr_Willis: O_o [20:04] VCoolio: thanks [20:04] anyone here have trouble installing the intel compilers in 9.10? [20:04] dr_willis must have a massive desktop resolution [20:04] Hello. I can't get the liveCD to work. The splash screen displays then the CD drive winds down, then nothing. [20:04] Dr_Willis, you consider yourself adept when it comes to networking problems? [20:04] Found a tool the other day that downloaded all the national geographic 'wallpapers' in one go. :) found another one today that adds them to the gnome wallpapers as that special 'auto changeing every 20 min' feature also [20:04] I checked the md5sums.txt file and all sums check out. [20:04] can ijust rm my user.log? [20:04] kitty_: i manage to do ok for the most part [20:04] i just* [20:04] why does ubuntu server 9.10 install kerner 2.6.31-14-generic-pae as default? what happened to *-server? [20:04] qed: look for archived logs also. [20:05] Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/f5f191fea === kamil is now known as siara447 [20:05] i removed my user.log.1 and freed up 8gb [20:05] jesus christ [20:05] hi i need to block a port, which is open by god knows what, how do i do that? [20:05] kitty_: looks liek you are getting some invalid packits. [20:05] Hilikus: the only significant difference between them was pae support anyway, so it was renamed [20:05] why the hell would user.log get so big [20:06] qed: lots of users? :) [20:06] Dr_Willis i'm actually requesting them [20:06] 1 user Dr_Willis :) [20:06] maco: ok, so it's normal. thanks [20:06] DEViUS: by default eveyrthing is open.. but theres no services.. so it dosent matter.. so clarify what you need. Theres the ufw firewall front end to block things if you wanted to [20:06] !ufw | DEViUS [20:06] DEViUS: 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 [20:07] DEViUS: iptables -t OUTPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport $something -j DROP [20:07] oh wait, maybe it's sport on input... [20:07] dport on input... never mind >_< [20:08] wow. [20:08] just wow [20:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [20:08] i removed debug.log.1 and user.log.1 and got 16GB of free space [20:08] wtf is going on here [20:08] I just realized after exporting 20 cds to my computer, they saved as ".ogg" is there a way I can mass convert to mp3 ? [20:09] dassouki: sound converter [20:09] dassouki: from what i hear ogg sounds better. :) [20:09] dassouki: sudo apt-get install soundconverter [20:09] was that a pun? guess it was.. [20:09] how do i make my logging cap lower? [20:09] Dr_Willis: network layout, laptop -> ppp0 alltel dialup, eth0 wireless nic, eth1 wired nic -> linksys wrt54gls set up as a wireless access point only, then i got all those packets after starting my NDS and connecting to internet [20:09] i dont need 8GB user.logs [20:09] dassouki: ogg is open source. mp3 is not [20:10] Dr_Willis, it would nice of you if you provide me the command to block the TCP and UDP port 17500, which i said to be used by CrazzyNet Trojan, and apparently after using rkhunter, chkrootkit, i founf nothin [20:10] kitty_: a Nintendo DS? ive heard so many bad things about how they do wireless. [20:10] switch10_: I'm not an open source nazi [20:10] DEViUS: i dont use the stuff to block ports. so i dont know the command.. someome else gave a template right below where i mentioned ufw [20:10] Dr_Willis: unfortunately, i need to put them on an sd disk [20:11] switch10_: not true. It's more of a patent issue, and an aesthetic one. [20:11] synx | DEViUS: iptables -t OUTPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport $something -j DROP [20:11] dassouki: right on just thought id let ya know === kamil is now known as siara447 [20:11] dassouki: you probably should be. closed source means you have no way of knowing what they're doing with your computer. [20:11] synx, i didnt quite get that, can u pliz write it again to block UDP port 17500 and TCP port 17500 [20:11] * Dr_Willis wonders what a sd disk is... [20:11] Dr_Willis, doesn't matter which outside client i use, i still get the same forms of error messages [20:11] Dr_Willis: sure that isn't for INPUT? I think it is. [20:11] synx: what do you mean? I always thought mp3 was closed source [20:12] dassouki: please mind you language [20:12] synx: i havent messed with iptables in ages. [20:12] DEViUS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [20:12] im having a hard time getting my dell 1420 to display on the external video. [20:12] switch10_: There are many quite capable mp3 encoders and decoders that are both totally open sourced and free. [20:12] anyone have any advice on external screens? [20:12] hi. anyone here use squid_ldap_group ? [20:13] synx, aha thnx thats much better [20:13] im learning xhtml and i want to publish a non prof website i have ubuntu 9.10 64bits how can i publish it?

[20:13] Hey I can't get the liveCD to work. The splash screen displays then the CD drive winds down, then nothing. [20:14] synx, so i had done a port scan wiht nmap before and found those ports open, do i need to rebboot before rescanning, or thats it [20:14] i thought that would be related but sorry dudes:( [20:14] synx: standard question: did you !md5sum check the image before burning? === mike is now known as Guest36951 [20:14] synx: dunno I'm on ubuntu, and been using it for about 5 years now, through crossover and wine, i run $20k worth of closed source software that simply has no FOSS alternatives ... if you're in niche non-computer related markets, Close source for now is the only way to go [20:14] DEViUS: you should never have to reboot, nope. [20:14] Orphee: try #apache === jooopaaa is now known as jopa [20:14] guntbert: yes [20:15] thanks synx [20:15] synx: strange [20:15] dassouki: if there's no alternatives, not much you can do, but closed source really is the equivalent of "hey give me your computer and trust me." [20:16] synx, hmmn but nmap still says Discovered open port 17500/tcp on [20:16] is there any alternative to matlab [20:16] synx, are you trying to boot/install from the liveCD, or trying to mount it on the desktop? [20:16] apparle: octave, numpy/scipy, .... [20:16] apparle: start with octave [20:16] guntbert: I also ran md5sum on md5sums.txt on the CD I burned, and that checked out OK too. [20:16] if you know a bit of python, venture into numpy or R [20:16] is there any fix for usb drives (flash and harddrives) being TERRIBLY slow? It's spend last hour copying 700MB file.. [20:16] DEViUS: use some port scanning web site. scanning yoruself.. can be.. a little conruseing [20:16] kane77: could it be that your usb is slow ? [20:17] hello italiano?? [20:17] DEViUS: Where are you running nmap from? Not the same computer you're trying to firewall I hope? [20:17] dassouki, could, if it wasn't much faster in windows :/ [20:17] aschi: #ubuntu-it <-maybe [20:17] burzki: boot from the liveCD [20:17] dassouki: have you tried it personally.... I want it for image processing [20:17] synx: next thing that comes to my mind: is the CD dirty? is the drive faulty? [20:17] synx, ofcos not, i scan it with my otha pc [20:17] apparle: I use it for work, I do mostly matrix analysis [20:17] !it | aschi [20:17] aschi: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:17] I can mount the liveCD just fine. [20:18] synx, im rely concerned about this port after reading its for a CrazzyNet Trojan [20:18] synx, are you just wanting to try the liveCD, or do an install? [20:18] dassouki: is there an image processing toolbox for it? [20:18] guntbert: The drive is from a 2 year old e-machines prefab PC. :/ That's probably the problem. The CD is about 10 minutes old. [20:18] DEViUS: tell the channel what your whole network is like then. 2 pcs going into a router to the internet or what exactly? [20:18] apparle: this may be what you want http://octave.sourceforge.net/image/index.html [20:18] synx, in either case, i would try mounting it on the desktop, then install from there .. [20:18] dassouki: and how is scilab compared with octave [20:19] DEViUS: You mean CrazzyNet backdoor for Windows? [20:19] how do I get a fully functional (non-free) version of ffmpeg for ubuntu? [20:19] burzki: just try it for now. [20:19] apparle: I'm not sure, but try in #octave .. they'll be better help [20:19] synx: I know its no help - can you try the CD in another drive? [20:19] humbolt: you could compile it.. i also think theres ppa's for ffmpeg with different options [20:19] I don't want to touch this person's HD since they're afraid I'll break it. [20:19] humbolt: possibly over at medibuntu.com [20:19] synx, exactly thats weird, maybe because i am using wine something is working behind there [20:19] synx, yeah, just try mounting it from the desktop .. [20:19] guntbert: I have a drive on this computer, but it's always on and I can't conveniently reboot. :/ [20:20] synx, i have my home network all on one router then the internet [20:20] hey need to ask! i want to block torrent anyone know what port should i close? thx [20:20] sup all? i just installed ubuntu 9.10 and then i added the kdebase....but at login screen i cant select kde. can someone tell me what i misisng [20:20] guntbert: I was hoping there could be some options I could try that get around faulty drives. [20:20] synx, otherwise, i've had some troubles w/ the CD's as well, sometimes had to reboot 5-6 times before it took .. [20:20] I see a connection state ESTABLISHED by "netstat -an --proto tcpip". How do I close a socket from cmdline? [20:20] synx: well, install virtual box, attach the real drive to a VM and boot that [20:20] en1gma: there may be a button/selection called "sessions" .. that's where you make the change [20:20] done_`: Im not sure you can do it by blocking single ports. Most torrent clients can randomize the ports.. [20:21] oklñ [20:21] Dr_Willis can i do it with multiport using iptables ? a specific range ? [20:21] burzki: I can mount it on this computer, but I wanted to boot into it on the other computer, running Windows. [20:21] done_`: you could signup for the free www.opendns.com account and block it with that [20:21] yea i seen that after installled and logged off but kde wasnt in it so i shutdown and then power on and now sessions isnt even there now [20:21] guntbert: you're kidding me [20:21] done_`: no idea. Ive never wanted to block it.. and the isp's all seem to have a hard time blocking it... :) [20:21] Scunizi, do you know what i mean [20:21] hi. anyone here use squid_ldap_group ? [20:21] medibuntu does not have ffmpeg [20:22] done_`: i know i can set my torrent client to use most any port . [20:22] Dr_Willis ya right [20:22] can someone help me installing scratchbox? [20:22] synx: no - that was meant in earnest - I have some virtualization on nearly all my computers [20:22] synx, what happens if you load the cd with windows already running? [20:22] I'm not that experinced in linux and get always an "Inconsistency detected by ld.so" error [20:22] done_`: it can proberly even use common service ports.. or theres always using vpn to get around it [20:22] en1gma: when I've done it I installed the full kubuntu-desktop after ubuntu and then "sessions" had the option to boot into the kde environment. [20:22] synx, exactly thats weird, maybe because i am using wine something is working behind there [20:23] ahh i just did base [20:23] let me try what oyu said [20:23] Dr_Willis aha iptables doesn't support layer7 so i think i have to either block range of port or change policy to BLOCK and allow specific port =) [20:23] en1gma: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [20:23] Hey [20:23] I want use VPN on Ubuntu, Any Idea? Thanks. [20:23] Helloooooooooooo! [20:23] ok trying it now [20:23] Anyone use EBS with Amazon EC2?

Documentation is hard.. [20:23] done_`: just turn off the power.. :) thats easier. [20:24] how can i make emacs not start in split mode with that garbage in the bottom? [20:24] diabolix: did you look at panel properties? [20:24] Pipi772: whats teh exact question about Upstart? [20:24] no one able to help?

I have a compiz cube. I was wondering...how do I set a different wallpaper for each side of the cube? [20:27] how do i run something with xinit [20:28] Dr_Willis - I don't want too. I need to use the root acc [20:28] Pipi772: ive not used xinit in ages. [20:28] Pipi772, I'm no expert, but I'd look at .xinitrc [20:28] Storm3yy: sorry to hear that. its best to learn how to use sudo. [20:28] Also how do I leave tasks running when it close the SSH on my PC? [20:28] thanks Scunizi, Dr_Willis [20:28] Storm3yy: screen [20:28] Storm3yy: look into screen, or the nohup command [20:28] I do not find a good guide to get full blown ffmpeg in karmic [20:28] Storm3yy, start them with nohup. Actually, screen is probably better, a little harder to learn [20:28] ok so i guess i need someone elses help, i need to block port 17500 TCP and UDP, becos its for a Windows CrazzyNet Trojan, and i am running wine so i guess its there, some1 pliz help [20:28] Yes maybe i faced it wrong.. [20:28] c'est spécial quand même [20:29] burzki: It shows the Ubuntu Menu, asking me if I want to reboot, or install it or whatnot. [20:29] jsn, bybobu makes screen pretty easy to use [20:29] humbolt: i recall seeing guides on compiling ffmpeg in ubuntu. (or using the cvs or wharever versions) [20:29] hey Dr_Willis check this : http://www.ipp2p.org/ =) [20:29] DEViUS, you want to learn iptables, to block everything not allowed. The Ubuntu IptablesHowTo is pretty good. [20:29] Dr_willis, i just want to run tsclient with a softly linux, === kamil is now known as siara447 [20:29] hi i have problem glxinfo:1480 freeing invalid memtype f0102000-f0112000 ?? [20:29] DEViUS, or, you could just act quickly, and remove those lines from /etc/services [20:29] DEViUS, rather, comment them out [20:29] Hey guys. I have a compiz cube. I was wondering...how do I set a different wallpaper for each side of the cube? Please help! [20:30] plustax: don't think you can on gnome [20:30] plustax, you need to patch nautilus to do that, afaik [20:30] sory [20:30] jsn, i already set the default as deny, and i need to block anything not defined, wats with the /etc/services i didnt quite get that [20:30] Pipi772: so why are you doing all this weirdness? what are you gainign by all this? [20:30] DEViUS, if a port isn't in /etc/services, it is blocked. Comment out any port, it is blocked. [20:30] Pipi772: use gdm, and a minimal window manager that just runs the app.. is how i would go about it. [20:30] synx, hmm. it doesn't give you an option to run it live? [20:31] I install vsftpd not from port, i install from source [20:31] Heyo all [20:31] plustax: you need to prevent nautilus from desktop, which also means no icons there, and then set different wallpapers in compiz wallpaper plugin [20:31] and whot do nou [20:31] DEViUS, but if you have iptables running, that's definitely where you want to do this [20:31] Is there a way to utilize wins but only after DNS? [20:31] could anyone tell how to install the drivers for my ATI HD 3650 graphicscard, last time I tried couldn't even log in (the last time I used the fglrx driver) [20:31] !root | Storm3yy [20:31] Storm3yy: 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 [20:31] for what is port 6025? [20:31] :D [20:32] dimitar: could be anything [20:32] Dr_Willis how do i use gdm with a minimal window manager ?? [20:32] burzki: There are three menu options. The first says demo. The second says it'll install. The third says learn more. [20:32] www.serbiandownload.com....port 6025...ckeck it? [20:32] check it* [20:32] jsn, my iptables are supposed to be runnning, i guess , how do i check [20:32] dimitar, check it for what? [20:33] for port? [20:33] it pop up in my desktop [20:33] something like [20:33] DEViUS, the IPtables how to from help.ubuntu is pretty darn good. iptables -L -v lists them [20:33] anyone see me? [20:33] 6025 port is open [20:33] dimitar: could be a trojan [20:33] please login [20:33] lol [20:33] synx, and demo gives you the splash, then quits? [20:33] MY 9.10 desktop froze on me,I did a ctrl-alt-delete and it brought up a menu to restart or shutdown .I would like to know if there's a way to logout of x rather than restart ? [20:33] trojan...i dont thing sooo...:D [20:33] COuld someone help me with setting up WINS and DNS? [20:34] I've _mostly_ got my named service up and running, but am having trouble adding the alias I desperately need. What's the simplest way to configure bind9? [20:34] rob0917: ctrl+alt+F2 .. login .. then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or stop) [20:34] rob0917: on 9.10 you might be able to "service gdm stop (or restart) [20:35] rob0917: or just sudo stop gdm [20:35] burzki: No, booting from the CD gives me the boot menu, and when I try to load the liveCD it freezes on the splash screen. [20:35] Pipi772: install the window manager.. and golly.. there Should be a entry for it in the gdm menus at the bottom. :) [20:35] Pipi772: or make your own whatever.desktop entry for gdm to make your own 'session' that launches whatever you want. [20:35] hmm [20:35] If one connectys to the internet.. then enables a VPN in the network manager. do only 'new' programs/connextions use the vpn? [20:35] Dr_Willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:35] immortal soul sons [20:35] Need some help... I'm running Hardy and I can't open anything as root. Like sudo nautilus. It just hangs, so what's going on? [20:35] one annoyance I have on a daily basis is going to delete or move or edit a file only to be told that I don't have the perm - of course, I forgot to be root, so I have to drop down to the command line, sudo nautilus &, and go back to what I was doing - are there any ways to improve this work flow? [20:36] Vonnick: how 'bout gksudo nautilus? [20:36] !gksudo | Vonnick [20:36] Vonnick: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:36] Vonnick, root doesn't own the display, can't open apps, see what Scunizi said. [20:36] gksudo does the same thing [20:37] Vonnick: did you happen to create a root login at one point? [20:37] synx, hmm. does the demo then just run like a slideshow or something, and not a live OS? [20:37] jsn, but i still dont quite get how you block ports, in the list under /etc/services those are allowed, anything not listed shud be blocked especially after doing ufw default deny is that correct [20:37] where can I find helpfull tutorial on how to use CouchDB [20:37] Nope. I just installed [20:37] burzki: when I disable quiet and splash, it gets to /scripts/casper-premount then some SCSI stuff pops up, then nothing but Drive Not Ready errors as the drive winds down. [20:37] Vonnick: you don't still have the cd in the drive do you? [20:38] baz: don't use sudo with GUI apps - see above [20:38] Scunizi: Nope, checked em all [20:38] ok [20:38] i fix it [20:38] :D [20:38] Vonnick: have you done all your updates? [20:38] bhahaha [20:38] dimitar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:38] Yes [20:38] guntbert, oh yes gksudo, although sudo always works fine, but I have heard that [20:38] burzki: no all it does is ask me if I want to reboot. [20:38] DEViUS, ufw default deny <== what does that mean? [20:38] !lista [20:38] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:38] seLamün aLeyküm. [20:38] Vonnick: very weird.. outside of suggesting a reboot that probably won't do anything.. I"m at a loss. [20:39] synx, 9.10? [20:39] baz: caution - it does not always work fine - it can mess up your settings [20:39] Scunizi: Rebooted way to many times already :( [20:39] jsn, the uncomplicated firewall, Setting the default mode of ufw, i made it on deny like this [20:39] Vonnick: what are you using nautilus for at root?

[20:40] burzki: yup [20:40] jsn, thnx i gtg now ill come back later maybe [20:40] Vonnick: replace? are they newer/older or just missing? [20:40] thnx to all [20:40] My screen has recently stopped working properly (hardware issue). I have my system set so when I close the screen on my laptop, it shuts the screen off. I have to actually push down pretty hard on the lid to get the actual screen to shut off. [20:40] !list [20:40] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:40] How would I go about writing a script to shut the screen off after 5 min of inactivity? I know how to do it with the GUI (preferences>screen saver>power management), but since I change this setting so often (watching movies, etc.), it would be nice to automate this process. [20:41] Scunizi: Neither :P I'm replacing the splash image for my friend [20:41] message144, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:41] maco: that would be sa [20:41] Vonnick: have you tried from the terminal? sudo cp [20:41] hello I'd like to know how to fix the localhost that seems to go to a Debian page? [20:41] guntbert: ah ok thx [20:42] Yeah, I've already replaced it [20:42] nodmraid doesn't fix the problem either... I remember that working on another CD drive years back. [20:42] But I'd like to know why I can't open anything as root :P [20:42] Anyone here uses virtualbox? If I reimage my machine, can I still use the same virtual machine that I have stored in partition I use to store data? [20:42] message144: I use apt-get dist-upgrade, but some see that as a bit overly aggressive. [20:42] Vonnick: someone else will have to take up the banner on this one.. at least sudo works. [20:42] Also I have a problem with getting rid of xampp and installing lampp? [20:43] !root| Vonnick [20:43] Vonnick: 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.

[20:45] "D [20:45] synx: message144 don't forget apt-get dist-upgrade once a month as well :) [20:46] Scunizi, still cant seem to figure out what dist-upgrade actually does [20:46] heh [20:46] gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf hangs as well [20:46] message144: if there is an upgraded version of a package (not just security) it'll update [20:47] message144: production server? I don't follow... apt-get update updates your package list, but doesn't upgrade any packages. apt-get upgrade upgrades stuff... and apt-get dist-upgrade somewhat arbitrarily upgrades stuff that might involve a lot of inter-package dependancies.

[20:49] hi, i'm using ubuntu netbook remix, and i accidently clicked the icons on the panel (on the top) away.. now i want to add them, but i can't , (normally it is right click on the panel, and then add something, but i don't have space left, so that won't work) [20:49] There's really no reason to update more often than you upgrade... [20:49] guntbert: wait, gedit just opened but it's super slow [20:50] what does updating without upgrading accomplish? Nothing? [20:50] synx: unless you're just looking to trigger the "update" appelate for security patches.. [20:50] i tried to run an xmonad session, and it doesn't seem to work... [20:50] I just update more often to download the packages in the background. [20:50] sorry [20:51] burzki: that's... impossible though. I got the md5 sum for the ISO directly from ubuntu's website. Could it possibly be an accidental hash collision? [20:51] Vonnick: somewhere in the links ubottu has about !root !sudo !noroot there is a pointer to a tutorial how to recover from messing up with sudo [20:51] Scunizi, the latest and safest (I've been informed) is to use 'sudo do-realease-upgrade -d ', for alpha&beta versions , drop the -d for official releases [20:51] and ho can help me [20:51] Hello Everyone === root is now known as Guest17811 [20:51] how do I open the non GUI power management preferences in a terminal?
