[00:43] Under Ubuntu download section, there is a "Netbook remix" version.... Check it out... Try Youtube also to view user interface [00:43] Linera: basically you would have a hard time replacing environments, windows managers, programs, etc. we are trying to help by telling you it would be much much easier to just reinstall a different distro like xubuntu [00:43] hey... it says use "broken" something is wrong [00:43] im trying to upgrade to the newest [00:43] how hard is it to tell what someone wants to know?

Period. [00:47] Linera: OK replace the window manager, Programs, and desktop environment to lighter ones. google that. or just reinstall using xubuntu. for the last time... [00:47] yeah, installing xubuntu would seem like the easiest thing to do [00:47] atgriffin [00:48] either that or lxde [00:48] why would i install the same os thats already on the system? [00:48] or is there a tasksel for xubuntu? [00:48] Linera: How much RAM do you have? [00:48] I,ve only been able to run it using medibuntu repositories-zepplin [00:48] it would do no good [00:48] Linera: because we told you to [00:48] lee, xubuntu-desktop [00:48] when will xtermubuntucome =) [00:48] Linera: it is not the same.. [00:48] Linera: if you install Xubuntu or Lubuntu inside your Ubuntu install, your not installing the same OS again [00:48] seb, i dunno since i don't have dxdiag so i can see that info [00:48] Linera: what's that? [00:49] Linera: because xubuntu is optimised for low end systems, whereas the full version expects some reasonable power and a shiny graphics card [00:49] directx diag [00:49] afaik that is a windows tool [00:49] Linera: linux doesnt have directx [00:49] Linera: not sure what that is, but for a Linux distro their are commands for finding out such info as how much RAM you have [00:49] its used on windows to see things like os, ram, video card, etc [00:49] Linera: sudo apt-get install sysinfo [00:50] is there a way to make ubuntu automaticly uses ssh tunneling for everything? [00:50] no longer able to use it so i can't see that info anymore [00:50] Linera: yes you can [00:50] Linera: ,but you have to use something else to find out the info [00:50] only way i would be able to is install windows instead of linux [00:50] Linera: unless your program works in Wine hmm [00:50] Linera: do you honestly think there is no way to see how much ram you have in linux? [00:50] these ubuntu derivates, are they completely different, or just different flavors of the same operating system> [00:50] g0tcha: openvpn [00:50] like kubuntu, xubuntu etc. [00:50] linera open a terminal goto the applicatins menu [00:51] dxdiag is part of directx and only on windows [00:51] Linera: if you have a new laptop with nothing on it you want to keep, and you're new to linux, your best bet by far is to download xubuntu and install from that, as switch10_ said [00:51] goto accesories click terminal [00:51] df -h [00:51] sorry [00:51] free -m [00:51] check there [00:51] lee, that is not necessary; xubuntu-desktop will do it === assas1n is now known as n00p [00:51] Linera, on your top bar, click 'Application' then accessories, then terminal .. do it [00:51] Linera: that is also possible depending on your computer, installing WIndows inside Ubuntu. However by the sounds of it a standard Ubuntu install is being slow. If that's the case a Windows virtual machine might not even work well or at all. [00:51] vvor, how can i configure openvpn to use ssh tunneling? [00:51] or use top and press m [00:51] bazhang: yeah, but it'll leave a bunch of crap behind, surely? [00:51] I'm trying to start clisp via the cli and feed it a txt file full of lisp function definitions. How do you do that? [00:51] also check at top at memoru usage [00:52] hi I want to upgrade from jaunty to karmic, how can I do that using the terminal?

[00:52] bsmith093, that wont do it [00:52] oh rioght apt-get [00:52] g0tcha: if you need more then one tunnel for more then one app conseder openvpn not ssh [00:53] bazhang why not [00:53] bsmith093, the upgrade instructions cover it dist-upgrade does not do it [00:53] bazhang: I could, you could, but a new linux user couldn't, without help =) [00:53] Linera: Ubuntu is not Windows, meaning things are done differnetly, but some things are rather similar [00:53] Hey, i enabled rotate cube but when i press ctrl+alt+left directional it doesnt zoom out, just switches windows like normal [00:53] ok then my bad [00:53] lee, its actually well documented on psychocats website [00:53] vvor, is it as secure as ssh tunneling? [00:54] Linera, got it? tell me when you have done it [00:54] Hello. Can i speak with any git-based packet maintainer? [00:54] so what would be the way to do it?

[00:58] Linera|Away: as a new user of a Linux distro, a good idea is to do some reading about it [00:58] digitalaxis, why waste money on hardware optimized for moron code ? [00:58] linera i sent yiu a pm didu see it [00:58] Linera|Away, !forums [00:58] temoto, I dont have the DontVTSwitch option in my config, its stock [00:59] I've already installed ubuntu [00:59] Hi [00:59] Linera|Away: yeah yeah [00:59] linera please let me help u [00:59] Linera|Away: Ubuntu is the base [00:59] i know what im doing [00:59] linucks: then you can put Xubuntu or Lubuntu on as well [00:59] I finally managed to setup my KVM / Qemu + guests... as well as Virtio networking [00:59] darkwell: I do C++ and C# Programming and consulting for a living, so not sure what your on about. A nice GUI doesnt have anything to do with code [01:00] !xfce | Linera|Away [01:00] winstonw: but did you check if it's not there? [01:00] now i have a performance issue with my guest mounted drives [01:00] Linera|Away: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[01:00] can someone please help with a sound issue? suddenly I have no sound!! [01:00] temoto, yup, http://pastebin.com/d4704997c -- dpkg did all the edits [01:00] for my guests? [01:00] a sane GUI is defined by good abstraction for what the user is supposed to do to get things done, if the coder is a moron and waste end users computrons and ram for bloat .. its a catastrophy [01:01] how to perfom ubuntu [01:01] !ot | Darkwell [01:01] Darkwell: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:01] Darkwell, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:01] no one has given me a single answer [01:01] bazhang: Told him that twice, good luck getting him to listen. [01:01] Darkwell, people will actually reply to you in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:01] troll [01:01] and give two hoots [01:01] allrigyht thats the gloves YES WE HHAVE [01:01] Linera|Away: you havent asked a good question then maybe? what exactly do you want removed? [01:02] Linera|Away: *shrug* that's the answer for you, until you more about how ubuntu works. as bazhang said, you could install the xubuntu-desktop package, then remove the superfluous bits, but that's more involved. [01:02] Linera|Away: seriously?? the only answer you will ever get is install a lighter distro [01:02] Linera|Away, wont even open a terminal and follow directions .. what are we supposed to do?!? [01:02] Can someone give me linera's question? Just so i can humor him. [01:02] Linera|Away: you said you want "bare-basics" that could be anything, i consider that to be no gui, do you want sound printing support, etc... [01:02] temoto, is there an alternate config Xorg could read on startup [01:03] I'm new to linux. I'm running linux Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop with low ram. How can I tweak the os to run on the bare basics? [01:03] ^why can't get an answer? [01:03] Linera|Away: what is "bare-basics" [01:03] go to the system menu [01:03] digitalaxis: he wants to know how to make ubunu run on not much ram [01:03] why i can't perform my ubuntu. [01:03] administration then click synaptic [01:04] linera|away: Do you meet the minimum system requirments? Have you considered learning how to work in your bios to optomize your ram? [01:04] yah there are manyways to cut down things maybe there is a good readon to start off with what daemons/services you dont need/want to run [01:04] Linera|Away, don't run gnome, check out something tiny like evilwm, read about different software for the same task and evaluate which people say is the most efficient [01:04] wawan i am not kidding leave or stay on opic [01:04] Linera|Away: I remember several people (including me) telling you how to solve that problems hours ago, why haven't you followed their advice? [01:04] winstonw: yeah, pretty much :) [01:04] Is there a channel for lisp support? [01:04] linera|away: I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on a test machine at work (I teach C++ at a local college) without any issues. SO you must have downloaded something thats putting stress on it. [01:04] winstonw: see man Xorg if you have that. It lists many alternate locations. [01:04] j #linuxac [01:05] edbian, how about #lisp ? [01:05] winstonw: section FILES. [01:05] temoto, thx :) === boscop_ is now known as boscop [01:05] ardchoille: some people are convinced that if you ask the same question enough times you'll get a different answer =) [01:05] lee: o.O [01:05] does anybody want to help linera using remote desktop [01:05] bsmith093, no need [01:05] cause that would be easier [01:06] now wait it take the average idiot to be told 7 times to understand actually what hes being told.:D [01:06] i think everybody besides linera wants to help her [01:06] i_is_broke, that is not necessary [01:06] bsmith093: it would be easier if he would simply follow the advice given to him [01:06] only if I can start a format before shutting it down, bsmith093 [01:06] is there a way to easily disable cpufreq without recompiling the kernel? I use a desktop and i can be very liberal about my power consumption [01:06] yes it would but for some reason he wont [01:06] ardchoille, bsmith093 Linera|Away doesnt actually want any help. hes just effing with all of us all day .. imho [01:07] burzki: Ah, ok, ow I understand [01:07] Hi everyone. I have upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10, but the usplash boot screen has not been updated to the latest one. Could someone help me do this? [01:07] *now [01:07] its not recommended letting strangers access via remote desktop and fiddle with Linera|Away's computer... expecially when the user seems not to know what needs to be done [01:07] * and others .. [01:08] how would I get rid of pulseaudio and use alsa instead? Is that possible? [01:08] Darkwell, ^^ [01:08] beside that i we cant get him to open aterminal he wont know how to ebable remote assistance [01:08] teamviewer is windows only [01:08] dtownhero, remove package pulseaudio, then autoremove [01:08] so i have no remote === Linera|Away is now known as Linera [01:08] linera yes u do [01:08] dtownhero: you probably want to install gnome-alsamixer too [01:08] things are named differently in linux [01:08] oh man here we go... [01:09] dtownhero, you will then need to configure gstreamer apps to use alsa, also there is a libsdl sound library specifically for pulseaudio you may want to install [01:09] if you use sdl [01:09] let me ask u this who installed linux for u and why [01:09] teamviewer is the only good remote program out there but its windows [01:09] ugh [01:09] that sucks [01:09] hahhaha [01:09] dtownhero, want commands? [01:09] remote desktop works fine [01:09] see what i mean, MS trolls abound [01:09] nah, I'm saying that configuring gstreamer apps to use alsa [01:09] o/~ trollin' trollin' trollin' o/~ [01:09] bsmith093: u are wasting your time friend [01:09] that library does it all for me? [01:10] !op Linera [01:10] i seriousky want to know linera why do u use ubuntu [01:10] dtownhero, its pretty easy -- gstreamer-properties [01:10] switch its my time to waste [01:10] burzki, whats up [01:10] dtownhero, also the sdl library keeps apps using sdl from using something silly like oss or pulseaudio for just having the bit for alsa installed [01:10] my problem is I'm playing WOW in Crossover and trying to run Mangler, well wine does not know how to tell pulse to multiple streams [01:10] good luck then [01:10] though having said that, and the previous discussion about compiz being superfluous, I am impressed at how much functionality is in the shiny badness that is aero in win7 [01:11] bsmith093: hes messing with you.... [01:11] I am using just evilwm. It keeps me focused === tongaz is now known as apaodo [01:11] dtownhero, sdl package name is libsdl1.2debian-alsa -- install only if you know you use sdl [01:11] bazhang, eh? [01:12] burzki, some reason for the !op command ? [01:12] ubuntu said its good for single core processors [01:12] hey guys, i want to set my num pad to be window managment stuff, but only when num locks is turned off. however, when i turn them on, it still does the window managment stuff. is there a way around this? [01:12] and low-end pcs [01:13] linera thats true [01:13] so i figured it should run good on my laptop [01:13] up to a piont [01:13] someone kick him out of here [01:13] and its slow [01:13] whoo? [01:13] you're slow [01:13] 'linera will u switch to the pm window i opend [01:13] so i need help to tweak it for performance [01:13] Linera: right, but Xubuntu may be even better than Ubuntu on your computer for that. You can install Xubuntu into your current Ubuntu install, and then choose which one to use, from the log in screen. [01:13] Linera: you probably need more ram, do you meet the requirements? [01:13] Evening. WITHOUT answering vim/emacs...what's a good text editor program where I can find by regex, and then replace with the same regex in perhaps different formatting? [01:13] baz kinda fakin it, but follow Linera - you'll see .. all day [01:13] I dunno how to open that smith [01:13] switch10_, that is not necessary [01:14] what im program ru using [01:14] Linera, you may want to check out some resource such as manpages, infodocs, many wikis, and README files about optimizing your Ubuntu [01:14] Wolfman2000: surely with the regex, the editor doesn't matter? [01:14] what r u using to talk to us now [01:14] bazhang, kinda fakin it, but follow Linera - you'll see .. all day [01:14] i no longer have dxdiag which is on windows only so i can't see things like video card, ram, processor, etc [01:14] hahaha [01:14] if i use devede, set to 8.5gb, to make an iso image with several videos that came out to be only 2gb in size, should i still burn it onto a double layer dvd or a regular dvd-r? [01:14] lee: I can find by regex without a problem in nedit. What I want to do... (\d+ to get a number with a parenthesis to the left, and replace it with...well, the number I got in \d+ [01:15] linera yes u can still acess that info [01:15] i u follow directions!!! [01:15] Gary20: id use a regular DVD [01:15] i need dxdiag to see it [01:15] Linera, please, Read the Fine Manual™ [01:15] NO you DONT [01:15] lisdten for a change [01:15] udev sends the same 2 events on cdrom close-tray and eject, how can I handle close-tray only? [01:16] switch10_, alright. if regular dvd-r works, then it'll save me some money [01:16] Linera: some of them think your a troll, as in someone that is here to cause trouble in the channel. I think that you might not be, and now I am thinking that maybe you should read this really good Linux is not Windows article, and then ask help in here again, well that is if your not a troll. [01:16] linduxed, check out commands lspci, x86info, and the files /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo, and some various other files in /proc [01:16] linera got to system administration system monitor [01:16] Gary20: yes it will [01:16] !windows \ Linera [01:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:16] !windows | Linera [01:16] Linera: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[01:19] you don't know how to use gnome, that is your first goal. [01:19] I'm on ubuntu not gnome [01:19] ericmcaine: yeah i suppose, but just figured out it is formatted as fat32. :-/ [01:19] Linera: "alt+F2, gnome-terminal , free -om " [01:19] Linera: Ubuntu uses Gnome [01:19] gnome is a user interface [01:19] winstonw: hes messing with you dont waste your time... [01:19] switch10_, right now my time isn't of high value -- waiting for someone irl so I have time to waste :) [01:21] just saying there are people here that actually need help [01:21] winstonw, lol. enjoy [01:21] im telling u al remote desktop [01:21] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html Linera here is some fine reading to acquaint yourself with the basics [01:21] lol will do, and yes lets help them peeps [01:21] ...I found what I needed. Backreferences. [01:21] Gnome's internal documentation is not bad at all I love it actually [01:21] how do i make ubuntu show me how much HDD space i have left [01:22] disk usage analyser [01:22] I just need ubuntu tweaked for performance so it runs fast and not lag [01:22] Zeppelin: "df -h" command maybe [01:22] Zeppelin, with gnome-system-monitor, baobab, or df commands [01:22] LINERA WE ARE TRYING TO HELP U IF U JUST FOLL INSTRUCTUIONS [01:22] Linera, you may wish to install a different desktop environment on top of ubuntu. [01:22] the first are accessible via the menu system ( baobab is called Disk Usage Analyzer) [01:22] bsmith093, lose the caps please [01:22] sorry for shouting but come on [01:22] are there any guis for hg mercurial in the repos/ [01:22] ? [01:22] bazhang: I was thinking before about telling them about Ubuntu Pocket Guide, but they are either a troll as some people as some people here are thinking, or someone that expects all the answers to be given here without them having to read any web pages that are given [01:23] Wolfman2000: damn you, I was just downloading a copy of regexbuddy to figure that out =) [01:23] bsmith093, its ok to get mad, but at someone who is just an entity of text, don't bother. [01:23] i heard about something called tortoise-hg, but can't find it [01:23] Linera: run that command i previously mentioned, if you dont meet the minimum requirements for ram, you wont get good performance [01:23] lee: *chuckles* regexbuddy? Sounds like a good name of a program. I'll take a look. [01:23] Wolfman2000: it is very *very* good, or at least was in 2006 [01:23] buttons840: tortoise is windows thing. You want hgtk or hgview. [01:23] ...it's also a Windows program. :( [01:24] I no longer have the brainspace to dedicate to regexps =) [01:24] btw i always wondered does a troll mean abot or just someone who pisses people ooff bc they can [01:24] yes, there's also a linux version [01:24] which means it can be more tightly integrated with Windows exclusively buttons840 [01:24] bsmith093: second. [01:24] bazhang, that has been suggested from the very beginning [01:24] temtot what did u mean [01:24] bsmith093: troll doesn't mean a bot. [01:24] oh tanx [01:25] in fact, the website is telling me that my license doesn't cover me for a windows version (I am trying to download it under firefox in windows), only linux... which is a bit annoying =) [01:25] bsmith093, i think its just someone killing time [01:25] ... by pissing other people off. [01:25] burzki: yes [01:25] amen [01:26] nothing for seeing ram unless i install windows [01:26] Well, if he actually learned something, I'm happy [01:26] :( [01:26] hey does pidgin have voice chat i can talk faster than i type [01:26] bsmith093: nope [01:26] awwww crud [01:26] bsmith093: empathy does though [01:26] Linera, send me a private message if you aren't trolling and I'll help you with your questions [01:26] use skype [01:26] Wolfman2000: oh - sorry - it appears to have changed in v3, and there's no linux version... well that sucks, one of the reasons I bought it was to support linux developers, nevermind =) [01:26] Linera: you are now no longer able to talk in this channel until you figure out how to run the command "free -om" on your own and pastebin the results for us [01:27] bsmith093: that's kinda funny. They introduced new IM only because Pidgin doesn't have voice chat. Empathy is all ways worse, but it does have voice support :) [01:27] dunno how to send a private message [01:27] I am attempting to enable multicast in pulseaudio, but the option to enable multicast sender is greyed out in the device chooser. How can I enable it? Thanks. [01:27] Linera, /message username "body of message" [01:27] winstonw: what have you done... [01:27] temoto: i like empathy... [01:27] temoto, getting him off #ubuntu and into my own realm [01:27] switch10_: k, no offense to people. [01:27] i do too but not the program [01:27] haha [01:27] none takin [01:28] If he really needs help individuals can handle it better [01:28] then just talk to me in the room, I'm not typing that everytime [01:28] *** winstonw is on #ubuntu #masochism #insane [01:28] Linera, it should open another message "dialog" or "window" [01:28] xD [01:28] or weechat buffer [01:28] is there a masochim channel? [01:28] yeah that too [01:28] In effect it'll open a new window for you [01:29] say I want do put a virtual system I use in virtualbox in a different partition so I can install a new OS and reformat and not loose this. where is the file at? [01:29] There's quite a chance you're trying to help an old fat troll whos using weechat under icewm. [01:29] winstonw, we've tried all that [01:29] I'm getting the shakes installing ubuntu in VM, forcing myself to learn something about unix so I can actually use some cutting edge development stuff (in comparison to windows) [01:29] t__ [01:29] scary. [01:29] t__: you mean use a psyical partition in Virtualbox? [01:29] install virtualbox ose [01:29] er [01:30] Linera, did you get my personal message? [01:30] t__: a psysical install in Virtualbox? [01:30] i have a program installed in my virtual system [01:30] winstonw, let it be .. [01:30] only see firefox, buddy list on this room [01:30] that i dont want to loose [01:30] and this* [01:30] burzki, probably will have to lol. [01:30] but i do want to chang my native os to ubuntu [01:31] t__: /home/"user"/.virtualbox [01:31] t__: what os is the host? [01:31] t__: what's your host OS? Windows? [01:31] currenrly linux mint going to ubuntu. win xp is the machine [01:31] t__: be more clear [01:31] t__: your host is? and your vm is? [01:32] winstonw, only because about three doxen of us have been there done that already today .. just the same thing over and over. and all the rest is just ot [01:32] well people its been nice tell me if it works out im gonna boot up the debian disc i just burned [01:32] *dozen [01:32] hey nubz, come to arch :p [01:32] um i dont know terminology but im on linux mint right now and i want to go to the newest ubuntu [01:32] <_Pb> does anyone here use tinywm? [01:32] (jk) [01:32] rooob: That's hardly helpful. [01:32] <_Pb> or have had heard of it? [01:32] win xp is virtual [01:32] <_Pb> *have [01:33] i want to open that same virtual machine in ubuntu as i do LM [01:33] so i can have the repair manual for my car [01:33] copy thre virtual machine image file [01:33] could I acess or make posts in linux ternimal for facebook? [01:33] <_Pb> alt+button1 is supposed to move windows, and alt+button3 is supposed to resize them, but neither do anything [01:34] t__: ok [01:34] k, so prob that /user/.virtualmachine [01:34] thanks [01:34] yes t its in theer [01:34] berrybarry: you probably could make a script to do it if you really wanted [01:34] t__: got a seperate /home partition no?

[01:36] D3RGPS31: go into the Firefox prefs and tell it to save to a dir rather than prompt you each time [01:36] !op Linera [01:36] rooob: he is a troll [01:36] winstonw: its ops [01:36] winston what does that mean [01:36] t__: vmdk file uhmm that's VMware not virtualbox, I meant the virtual hard disk file for Virtuabox, the vhd file [01:36] !ops Linera [01:36] that's your problem with him, not his problem :o [01:36] winstonw, i was fakin it earlier, i think they're aware [01:36] exclamation op [01:36] oh hehe [01:36] vdi?

[01:38] !feeding the troll [01:38] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [01:38] sebsebseb: ^ [01:38] Linuxnoob: What about it do you need help with [01:38] !xubuntu | Linera: [01:38] Linera:: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[01:40] a screaming troll, like a flaming homosexual, but less firey [01:40] Linera: xfce is just the interface between you and the core of Ubuntu (linux). You basically will be running ubuntu if you switch to xubuntu. and it's really a pretty easy change [01:40] <_Pb> does anyone here use twm? [01:40] lee: That's enough of that, thank you. [01:40] Linera 700mhz? [01:40] Linera, I'm thinking if your not aware of what a brand vs model is your in rough shape to learn much of anything i wish you luck [01:40] sebsebseb, cant be That confused - has been given very basic/explicit instruction [01:40] !ops | Linera is a troll, complaining about lack of dxdiag, won't answer any questions when attempted to be helped [01:40] Linera is a troll, complaining about lack of dxdiag, won't answer any questions when attempted to be helped: Help!

[01:42] lee: new [01:43] Linera ubuntu 7.10 would run great :) [01:43] berrybarry: Stop suggesting unsupported releases. [01:43] !7.10 | berrybarry Linera [01:43] berrybarry Linera: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [01:43] Linera, I'd recommend starting with either a light weight distro like xubuntu or a light weight window manager [01:43] lee: i also shortened my quest :D "how do i disable firefox' save dialog" [01:43] linuxnoob, reboot and at the grub screen press e on the boot item. Then eter a text option. This boots you in text mode. [01:44] dekko gone in 2 seconds [01:44] Linera: You barely have minimum reqs for ubuntu 9.10. I reccomend downloading Xubuntu. [01:44] u mean command line? [01:44] berrybarry, 8.04 better - was suggested hours ago === Jamed_ is now known as Jamed [01:44] Linera MenZa http://www.linux-laptop.net/dell.html === Guest68751 is now known as fizk__ [01:44] ubuntuisloved, suggested hours ago [01:44] berrybarry: 7.10 is unsupported. Noone should /ever/ use it on a production system again. [01:45] burzki, maybe he's pig headed [01:45] digitalaxis, suggested hours ago [01:45] D3RGPS31: sorry, I don't know, sounds like you have the right option set alreay, if you have "Save files to..." and a folder selected [01:45] ubuntuisloved: stop feeding the troll please [01:45] I dunno if anyone realizes, but a Jaunty --> Karmic upgrade doesn't really update everything as though it was a new install [01:45] burzki: I know i was here, but for all we know Linera is a young kid or a really slow reader who doesnt know how to scroll. [01:45] there are people here that actually need help [01:45] fizk__: I already knew that [01:45] I just installed Karmic on a new hd and it's pretty sweet [01:46] MenZa .... tell her about upgrading ram I assume its 256mb ha [01:46] fizk__: no Grub 2 on upgrade, and Ext3 9.04 installs won't become Ext4 on upgrade [01:46] berrybarry: Irrelevant. [01:46] is there a proper download accelerator for ubuntu? I'd prefer GUI. [01:46] sebsebseb, ah [01:46] I'm on ubuntu already so stop telling me to reinstall it [01:46] Linera: you can try install xfce, you may get better performance than the default gnome, you can install this on your current ubuntu installation without reinstalling. google for a guide "ubuntu install xfce", if you have problems with something Specific, you can ask that here [01:46] berryberry: Its a 512MB RAM laptop. [01:46] no point in doing so [01:46] menze what does thr exclamaiotn ops thing do [01:46] Linera: what you don't understand is this [01:46] Linera: Ubuntu is the base [01:46] I'm using Ibex (Desktop--right now) and Karmic on a laptop (not currently connected). My ISP is a point-to-point WISP, using Tranzio TR-CPQ-19f tranceivers (big square all-in-one unit mounted on my residence). They recently had an outage, and ever since then, my router--a Linksys WRT-54g (Firmware Version: v4.30.5)--connections are all slow. It's okay just connected directly to the antenna. [01:46] sebsebseb, were you able to get Windows to boot w/ Grub2? [01:47] switch10_, who's authorized to call him that? you? [01:47] bsmith093: It alerts us (the ops) that something's wrong in here, and that we should respond to it. [01:47] Linera: You should have done your research before installing it. Because you will never get ubuntu to run how YOU want it to with your system [01:47] melvincv: I use DownthemAll http://www.downthemall.net/ for Firefox [01:47] digitalaxis, what i Do know is that it has been the same line of q/a for hours, repeated about every ten minutes, and whoever came in new to the channel responds and keeps it going .. just watch [01:47] digitalaxis only good for basics... [01:47] people keep saying to install ubuntu [01:47] sebsebseb, if you have win installed [01:47] Linera: Ubuntu uses something called Gnome as it's desktop environment, but there are other ones as well such as XFCE/Xubuntu [01:47] yet I'll be right back to where i'm at === sarah is now known as Guest48688 [01:47] melvincv: Works fine with Rapidshare, etc. [01:47] Linera: UBUNTU is not what we are telling you to reinstall [01:47] Linera: we just told you you dont have to reinstall, you are not listening/a troll [01:47] Linera: no, people kepp telling you to install Xubuntu, it's a different product [01:48] i also used downthemall, but now i switched over to google chrome... [01:48] Linera: Open a terminal, write sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, log out, change your 'Session' to Xubuntu, log in, you're done. [01:48] Linera: WE want you to install XUBUNTU, its NOT the same thing. YOU wont notice the diffrence as much, but your system will use it more efficiently [01:48] Linera: Xubuntu can be downloaded as it's own operating system instead of Ubuntu. However you can also install Xubuntu into your Ubuntu install, then you have both, Ubuntu and Xubuntu. and you choose which one to use from the log in screen, one will be the default as well. [01:48] bbl [01:48] melvincv: sorry, I don't know of any download extensions for Chrome. Check the chrome extension database maybe? [01:48] terminal? [01:48] Linera, install windows98 [01:49] Linera: Applications -> Terminal [01:49] burzki: Please stop that. [01:49] burzki: stop being silly [01:49] Linera sebsebseb MenZa lets all goto #xubuntu room [01:49] no, there arent any... [01:49] burzki: help or stop [01:49] windows is even worst on this system [01:49] berrybarry: no need [01:49] Linera: ok the terminal [01:49] Sebsebseb, before you move on [01:49] what is terminal? [01:49] Linera: have you got your terminal open yet? ok thats a no [01:49] Linera: is where you put commands for a Linux distribution to run [01:50] need help, i have an package in desktop how to instal it in terminal? the file name "/home/gemilang/Desktop/xaralx0.7_rev1785.package" [01:50] Linera: Do you see the applications tab in the top left of your screen? [01:50] Linera: your in Ubuntu/Gnome right now, so system > administration > terminal [01:50] Linera: Top-left of your screen once you've logged in. Click 'Applications', then go to 'Utilities', then Terminal. [01:50] Linera: google for a guide "ubuntu install xfce", if you have problems with something Specific, you can ask that here, again you dont need to REinstall ubuntu [01:50] gdebi [01:50] Linera: Click on "Applications" go to "Utilities" then go to "Terminal" [01:50] !google > Billiard [01:50] Billiard, please see my private message [01:50] nothing called terminal [01:50] i did my bit to help, explicit simple basic instruction to terminal and more and have been watching all you do exactly the same thing since. maybe everyone just let it be .. i'll shut up now and leave y'all to it, however. OT [01:50] Billiard ha she a noob be nice [01:50] fizk__: I have dual booted Karmic no problem with Vista [01:50] fizk__: and Grub 2 [01:51] Linera: It is inside your "accesories" tab in "Applications" [01:51] melvincv, check netfleet and/or multiget [01:51] <_Pb> so has anyone here used tinywm before? [01:51] !anyone | _Pb [01:51] _Pb: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:51] Could ONE person please address Linera, its not helping that they are getting directions from 5 people at once. [01:51] burzki, can we move to pm === apaodo is now known as reto [01:51] How can i upload a file to a ftp server via the terminal ? is there any client ? [01:51] certaINLY [01:51] ardian: 'ftp' - it's installed by default === reto is now known as Guest92299 [01:52] Linera: ok you got the terminal open now? [01:52] Linera: Did you find it bud? [01:52] Yes im in my ftp [01:52] but how do i upload a file there [01:52] ardian: Once you're in ftp, write 'open ftp.server.com' -- then you're prompted for a password/user [01:52] ardian: 'put filename' [01:52] Linera: you can also hit the alt-F2 keys and then type xterm in the box that opens === Guest92299 is now known as apodo [01:52] ok [01:52] Idle0ne: He is already being helped, please dont confuse an already confused person.

How do I now convert that to an mpeg format? Or other video format for sharing? [01:53] ardian: Apparently, you're trying to upload the file 'pc', which is not in your current directory. [01:54] Bookman: I'm unaware of the specifics, but you can probably use ffmpeg or mencoder [01:54] Yes it is [01:54] wow. just wow. I went from having 0 disk space to having 22GB free due to weird logfile crap [01:54] Idle0ne: If you have a problem with something that happend earlier, you can PM me about it. But no need to confuse someone in chat that WAS making progress [01:54] anyone know what linux distro is supported for gateway colorbook? [01:54] bookman install winff sudo apt-get install finff [01:54] _Pb: mouse gestures? [01:54] bsmith093, Does that have a nice friendly GUI?

A terminal window pops up then I press convert that says, press enter to continue then it closes. Nothing save, no errors. [01:59] doesn't sysinfo already exist?

[02:16] mainly so I can run an app that Wolfman2000 reminded me I have =) [02:16] lost cause [02:16] lee: you should be ok. I had it running on an old win 95 machine [02:16] I had Kubuntu 9.10 installed on my machine and just installed windows. It ruined my grub boot loader and I am now on Kubuntu 9.04 live CD. How can I recover my grub from here? [02:17] alid: you should always have windows installed first. [02:17] alid: windows will overwrite grub [02:17] switch10_: Yea I know. I'm sure that there's a simple way to recover it from the live CD, though. [02:18] !grub2 | alid [02:18] alid: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:18] Hi [02:18] alid: you would have to use a windows recovery disk [02:18] i believe [02:18] What is the channel for Ubuntu Off topic?

[02:19] alid, update sorry === sjefen6 is now known as sjefen6_ [02:19] switch10_: alid: as i understand it windows boots just fine, but there is no more grub, so you don't need the windows cd [02:20] alid, then you will see the entries of your grub [02:20] Jamed: got it, thanks. [02:21] alid, you do one things even u are on the live cd go the folder ur spoiled ubuntu file system disk [02:21] Linera, and you are in more than one channel. Please address me there or via PM [02:21] okay [02:22] alid, seems like this problem is common enough that it should be brought to greater attention somewhere so folks aren't always trashing grub [02:22] Windows is just stupid. [02:23] lol [02:23] well, there is That! [02:23] alid, look for the folder /etc/boot/grub.d [02:23] it's just presumptuous [02:24] alid, you still there? [02:24] hey all. :) I'm wondering how I could redirect an output to a program argument? for instance, I want to redirect the output of ls to my_program --foo [02:24] jmp_: I'm running 9.04 live CD. There's no /etc/boot there. [02:24] much like ESXi presuming that you don't want things like the dell/hp utility partition wen you install it... [02:24] but really, a page in the wiki, or a sticky in the forums or soemthing about how not to install windows over ubuntu [02:24] alid: since the livecd has a different grub, than your installed version, i guess you have to mount the ubuntu partition(s) and chroot in. then you can do a grub-install /dev/sdX (where X is most probably 'a') [02:24] alid, but go to the files system of ur spoiled linux [02:25] chrls > output.txt [02:25] Let me mount it.

[03:05] update-grub even found the OS boot info for Win 7 [03:05] well then. i guess no help [03:05] well the winpe bootable usb worked fine, but it wanted to install win 7 which is not what I had in mind. I just wanted to install the one BIOS updater from dell [03:05] planktum_: so what are you typing, exactly? [03:05] how do I pass kernel options with grub2? [03:05] now to my question. Does specific kernel possibly change the settings of the network so that in another sessions (with generic kernel) wlan will not work anymore? [03:06] Dac-iPhone: No clue what's wrong. I might be able to help further if you pastebin the output of apt-get. [03:06] looking for someone familiar with Kmyfirewall, software routing, and multiple network interfaces [03:06] !Kmyfirewall [03:06] PrototypeX29A: It doesn't change settings that way. [03:06] PrototypeX29A, The kernel you choose determines directly what hardware drivers are available and which are used. It is possible that some generic kernel does not handle your wlan card correctly [03:06] dragon:nothing worked [03:07] sid_: that's bad. [03:07] PrototypeX29A, possibly. though i dont know that anything should change. there are netwrok changes in the kernel for 9.10 [03:07] edbian: it has worked before [03:07] losha, hi zsh: no matches found: --exclude=/proc/* [03:07] xicistle: /etc/default/grub [03:07] hmm [03:07] I just LOVE all the help I'm getting. :( [03:07] so here is an interesting scenario [03:07] No worries mate. I'll come back later. [03:07] dragon:ya really ..nothing is opening [03:07] i was using wlan with 9.10 before, now it is (completely) broken [03:07] PrototypeX29A, I can't say for sure if that is the reason. I'm just saying it is possible for a kernel to effect how hardware works (although it doesn't seem like it should :) ) [03:07] dragon ... and then I run grub-update? [03:07] losha, seems i have to deal in a particular way with the * else zsh will exit [03:08] dragon:how now??? [03:08] !who | Dorkins [03:08] Dorkins: 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 :) [03:08] <^Phantom^> Do you guys give support for xubuntu installation process? [03:08] Dorkins, looked to me like your question was answered .. [03:08] sid_: no idea [03:08] xicistle: I think so [03:08] i have this external drive with windows 7 installer-->ubuntu installer-->500 meg swap-->data storage, i need to get grub configured on the mbr of the external drive to load windows installer or linux installer based on choice, any ideas on where to start with that [03:08] edbian: i just was insisting, that it is not only the choice of the one kernel alone, that causes the problem [03:08] em getting this error :::Could not find the file /media/7CD4B494D4B4525E/idpas.:::what does it mean and how to fix it???please help [03:08] Dorkins: did you read the wubi documentation in those links? [03:08] dragon:thanks any way [03:09] Hi all [03:09] <^Phantom^> Do I need to partition my drive from within windows? [03:09] sid_: np [03:09] planktum_: so what does echo /proc/* report when run as the user, and compare it to when run as sudo [03:09] <^Phantom^> So many questions! I feel like a noob again :S [03:09] PrototypeX29A, I don't know what you mean? it is not only the choice of the one kernel? As opposed to 2 kernels? [03:09] I need help with something, but i'm not sure if anyone here can help. I need some help with wine and a game. Is there a wine channel i can use? or should i just ask my question here? [03:09] ^Phantom^: no, you don't need to partition it that way. What kind of partition config are you planning to have? [03:09] :( [03:09] edbian: 2.6.16-generic did work. now it does not anymore [03:09] dragon ... Ive tried this before .. I added the line acpi="linux" to /etc/default/grub [03:09] <^Phantom^> dragon: 10GB for xubuntu, the rest will stay with windows [03:10] losha, just added \* and it works under user [03:10] dragon ... and then I ran grub-update [03:10] <^Phantom^> dragon: So I'll be dual-booting windows and xubuntu [03:10] PrototypeX29A, Well if the kernel didn't change before or after the problem than it's pretty obvious it didn't cause the problem :) [03:10] ^Phantom^: you might also want to create a third partition for data. That really helps when any of the OS goes bad. [03:10] edbian: i used another kernel in between [03:10] planktum_: doesn't sudo run bash by default i.e. you're using two different shells.... [03:10] edbian: it didn't work then, but it still does not work now [03:11] PrototypeX29A, OIC, so you switched back! Check something real quick. Does the card show up in your bios? [03:11] <^Phantom^> This laptop is an "on-the-go" laptop, so I don't keep any critical or important data on it [03:11] such lovely help :( [03:11] edbian: how do i do that? [03:11] <^Phantom^> So if something goes wrong, then I'll just start over from scratch :D [03:11] ^Phantom^: Boot from a LiveCD or LiveUSB, run gparted and resize your existing windows partition, and create new partitions as you want to. [03:11] <^Phantom^> dragon: sweet, thankies [03:11] planktum_: oops. Forget that. The * should be expanded on the command line by zsh in both cases. Dunno why they're different then... [03:11] I'm having trouble installing PureFTPD on a Ubuntu 9.04 VPS - It installs, but I see: "Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l pam -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -u 1000 -E -B" and then "invoke-rc.d: initscript pure-ftpd, action "start" failed." Any ideas? [03:11] <^Phantom^> livecd is 20% done ^_^ [03:11] edbian: i think the wlan is recognized, even by the os. But it is disconnect by purpose [03:12] ^Phantom^: during installation, choose to assign partitions manually [03:12] * ^Phantom^ goes digging for a blank CD [03:12] losha, thanks anyway your explanation help me understand the issue [03:12] PrototypeX29A, does it show up in "sudo lspci" ? [03:12] Dorkins: whats your guetion? [03:12] ^Phantom^: LiveUSBs are easier in my opinion [03:12] losha, but so far, as it runs oke, then im fine [03:12] planktum_: wish I could say I understood it properly myself :-) [03:12] ^Phantom^: but passing on the CD would be good too === assas1n is now known as n00p [03:13] <^Phantom^> dragon: no usb flashdrives heh [03:13] <^Phantom^> so brb wile i go fish out a blank [03:13] PrototypeX29A, what is the new kernel you upped to? [03:13] Dorkins: stop being a pessimistic sarcastic whiny kid and get it straight. What's your question? [03:14] is there anyway to run ubuntu inside windows xp pro? [03:14] Dorkins: if you talk to someone without saying their name first, no one will respond. [03:14] wubi [03:14] vmware [03:14] Dorkins: what do you mean by inside? [03:14] edbian: it does [03:14] !wubi [03:14] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [03:14] burzki: i was up to the _current_ karmic from the git [03:14] run it within windows xp pro [03:14] dorkins ... http://wubi-installer.org/ [03:14] burzki: now i am back to generic [03:15] Dorkins: I'm not responding if you don't say my name. [03:15] http://pastebin.com/m5125623c here it says it disconnected by choice [03:15] so i install ubuntu inside this wubi thing? [03:15] PrototypeX29A, was the network up on the karmic kenrel originally? [03:15] Dorkins: you are better off burning a live CD then running inside windows [03:15] <^Phantom^> dragon: eep the only blank i have is a music cdr [03:15] Dorkins: You're liable for messages that you send in air. [03:15] <^Phantom^> hope this works [03:15] <^Phantom^> lol [03:15] Dorkins: begone [03:15] burzki: yes it was [03:15] ^Phantom^: good luck [03:15] <^Phantom^> dragon: thanks [03:16] <^Phantom^> i've done it with a music cdr before [03:16] burzki: with some kerneloops now and then, but it was running. (I do not think there is a connection between these problems) [03:16] <^Phantom^> doesn't matter what the cdr says does it? [03:16] <^Phantom^> music data they're all the same thing on the insides right? [03:16] does anyone knows an C/C++ interface compiler for linux? [03:16] ^Phantom^: they're all same. It's a marketing thing. [03:16] <^Phantom^> @ dragon [03:16] so i install ubuntu inside this wubi thing? [03:16] WIll Win7/Vista boot if it's /dev/sda2 instead of sda1 ? [03:16] <^Phantom^> dragon: sweet thanies :D [03:16] well? [03:16] <^Phantom^> thankies* [03:17] <^Phantom^> be back when i'm ready to install :D [03:17] dorkins is a chat-bot ... ban him [03:17] <^Phantom^> i can't join with my other comuter though [03:17] burzki, edbian: the wlan adapter is shown in the admin-tools, but i cannot connect [03:17] <^Phantom^> i have a script that i use and i am still forwarded to the ops channel for it i think lol [03:17] <^Phantom^> no scripts on this machine [03:18] Dorkins, better to run a live cd from windows like xicistle mentioned [03:18] burzki, edbian: it looks like ipv4 is disabled for some reason [03:18] PrototypeX29A, Well that's odd... You def need that [03:18] PrototypeX29A, check your drivers are still in place [03:19] PrototypeX29A, Unless you have a ipv6 network [03:19] edbian: no i have nbot [03:19] ^Phantom^: if you bring them a box of cookies they might forgive you [03:19] I just want to run ubuntu inside windows. [03:19] dragon, im connected wirelessly from 3 other devices at the moment - checked my router and yes dhcp is enabled [03:19] burzki: where should i look after them? [03:19] not outside windows [03:19] ^Phantom^, use a clean cd, not one that has had other data on it already [03:19] I could never get it to get into anything that resembled dos and I could not find a way to start the DELLBIOSUPDATER.exe instead of the setup.exe they had. I changed the autoblah, but no dice :( [03:19] PrototypeX29A, lspci -k shows what module you're using for what device right now [03:19] dorkins: why would you want to run linux inside of windows? [03:20] Dorkins, burn a liveCD, boot up windows, insert cd. go [03:20] cuz I don't know linux and don't want to run on only linux [03:20] xicistle, So that you don't have to re-start the machine to use it [03:20] edbian: Kernbnel driver in use: ath9k [03:20] <^Phantom^> 40% done with live iso :D [03:21] xicistle, and to learn it [03:21] hey my mouse has 4 buttons so i want to change the "simulate middle click" to my button 2 how can i do this so i can paste with button 2 insted of a middle click [03:21] burzki, xicistle, edbian: I'm helping Dorkins in a private message. He isn't acknowledging replies here. [03:21] PrototypeX29A, so there is a module being used. Unfortunately I have no idea how to tell what the right one should be. You can google to see if there are others. It's hard to do this. In my opinion it is too hard but I don't have the expertise to fix the code [03:22] dragon, I'm not talking to him? [03:22] dragon: your patience amazes me [03:22] dragon, got it [03:22] edbian: in a PM? don't know. [03:22] Dorkins: read this link on how to do what you want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [03:23] edbian: maybe the compilation process of the other kernel did mess things up [03:23] I am trying to use the USB startup creator with a USB stick and it says that it has to format it before use. I try to format it and it disappears. IT is the same usb stick that I installed 9.10 with so I know it works. [03:23] edbian: i will try do deinstall the package [03:24] PrototypeX29A, sorry. a bit busy over here. thx edbian [03:24] Bookman: stuff breaks ... does it work on other machines? [03:24] burzki, You're welcome? [03:25] PrototypeX29A, It's worth a shot [03:25] edbian, maybe PrototypeX29A is .. [03:25] mazda01: hi how did it go [03:25] xicistle, yeah well everything breaks with 9.10. sound, amd bridge driver, cups...the list goes on and on. [03:26] Bookman: can I PM you? [03:27] Go nuts === berrybarry|away is now known as berrybarry [03:27] what's the simplest way (for that kid) to create a virtual machine? [03:27] anyone help with the sound preferences in 9.10? [03:28] dragon: crayons and a cardboard box [03:28] oop, I mean I want to use the sound pref app from 9.04. how do I change it? [03:28] vvor, didn't fix desktop problem. i need to know how to change the default session through a conf file, i have no menu to access it the way I would normally [03:28] xicistle: lol [03:28] xicistle, go nuts [03:28] dragon ... I would push the live cd on him ... he will be happier because it wont lag so hard [03:29] xicistle: he wants to run both Windoze and Linux at the same time [03:29] mazda01: do you use gdm kdm [03:29] dragon ... then wubi is the fastest route for him to do that ... although I dont think he will like it [03:30] xicistle: wubi would involve booting into ubuntu - i tried but he doesn't want that either. [03:30] vvor, gdm [03:30] xicistle: I know wubi is perfect for his situation [03:30] hooray, at least my wlan is working again [03:30] dragon: doesn't the live CD act as a vm when inserted into a windows machine anyway? [03:30] vvor, in mythbuntu. i am also noticing after upgrade icon [03:31] mazda01: so tou should have at the buttom aplce to switch wm [03:31] 's are missing. i am in mythbuntu-control-center and the upgrade icon isn't there [03:31] xicistle: no, one has to reboot - it's a bootable CD [03:31] vvor, i am looking in mythbuntu-control-center now. i thought mythbuntu-control-center still had a start menu when not in mythfrontend though [03:31] mazda01: you want to set default session without using gui? [03:31] dragon ... the kid has it all wrong ... its way more interesting to run windows on a virtual linux machine [03:32] xicistle: +1 [03:32] HI [03:32] !hi | uneone [03:32] uneone: 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! [03:32] HABLAS ESPANOL? [03:32] mazda01: your configuration file should be in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [03:32] so something in my custom kernel deb was causing, even with the generic kernel, my ipv4 for wlan to stumble. is there a way to find out what?

[03:32] typing fail [03:33] <^Phantom^> dragon: my cat is playing with feet [03:33] dragon ... I think the best thing to do is to convince him that he has no reason to want to VM with windows.. [03:33] OK [03:33] <^Phantom^> dragon: it tickles SO DANG BAD [03:33] maco: A for effort? [03:33] ^Phantom^: let's keep it on topic [03:33] <^Phantom^> Sorry. [03:33] xicistle: I tried :P [03:33] <^Phantom^> I thought it was relevant since I just accidentally kneed the laptop while he was doing so. :P [03:34] islington, under mythbuntu-control-center the system role button, shows ubuntu desktop being installed and nothing else but there is no way that ubuntu-desktop is running. i have no start menu, no login screen-it's auto logging me in. i ahve upgraded dist's several times, added mythbuntu so I am guessing that stuff is whacked === berrybarry|away is now known as berrybarry [03:34] xicistle: I've told him about virtualbox now and warned him that no one would respond if he did the same again [03:34] <^Phantom^> mmm...virtualbx [03:34] <^Phantom^> I use virtualbox all the time. [03:34] mazda01: you have access to terminal? [03:34] ? === irc is now known as Guest90622 [03:35] islington, yes, by adding a command to the panel on the top. i rememberd it was gnome-terminal. [03:35] i use vmware because it's more of a daemon [03:35] islington, i don't have a /etc/gdm.conf file [03:35] mazda01: okay then see if /etc/gdm exists [03:35] Guys, sry for noob question.. i have Ubuntu runnig at Virtual Box at Windows 7. I can access pages via browser writing IP of Ubuntu, but when i go at Network i cant see the virtual machine at Workgroup. How i can fix it? [03:35] islington, it does. [03:36] in gdm? what files are there? [03:36] <^Phantom^> dragon: 65% done. I can't wait. [03:36] do an ls [03:36] hey guys, whenever I install ubuntu, the login manager seems to not work. I checked the intigrity of the disk also. It has happened every single install, even trying 3 cds [03:36] Danielpk: which "go to Network" are you talking about? [03:37] hey [03:37] islington, i just tried gksudo gdmsetup and it brings up a little box about auto loging in and what not, and it has an unlock button, i hit that but the check boxes don't ungrey themselkves? [03:37] PrototypeX29A, one of the changes being made in the kernel is how drivers, ie wifi, work in the system. so driver data gets changed from kernel to kernel and would blacklist old versions (drivers) to get tham out of the way. or something like that. [03:37] dragon, where show all machines from network. [03:37] pspfreak: what do you mean by "not work"? [03:37] Danielpk: In Windows? [03:37] mazda01: just fix it in the conf file, do this [03:37] islington, ok [03:37] it will get stuck at the ubuntu screen after the boot. [03:37] mazda01: open a new fresh terminal [03:37] I am rumming ubuntu 9.1 and want to do a dual boot with backtrack 4 , I tried it once and wammo ubuntu gone lol what is the proper way ? I know this is a ubuntu chat but i can;find any topics any where else [03:37] is there a way to paste txt with a hot key , i have a 4 button mouse so i cant paste highlighted txt with the middle click [03:37] dragon, yes, at Win7 [03:38] Danielpk: That's a Windows-specific question. Try ##windows [03:38] Humm.. ok. [03:38] webbb82: shift-insert [03:38] Thx [03:38] mazda01: type in "sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf" [03:38] PrototypeX29A, to know exactly what that was, you would have to follow the changelogs - closely .. my general notion is dont fix whats not broke ;-) [03:38] pspfreak: Are you able to switch the vt? Ctrl+Alt+F1 [03:38] what one is the incert [03:38] burzki: yes, but the problem does not seem to lie within the kernel, but in the .deb [03:38] o i found it [03:38] islington, i will do gksudo but ok, im with you [03:38] webbb82: also, you can enable middle-click emulation and just left and right click simeltaneously. The insert button is by PageUp and PageDown usually [03:38] burzki: but it is broken :) [03:38] I dont know. But is there a way I could make it auto log on? When I click the unlock button it doesn't do anything [03:39] ok well is it possible to change the hot key [03:39] mazda01: either way [03:39] could I do it from config files? [03:39] pspfreak: there's no unlock on login screen. [03:39] webbb82: probably, but I don't know how? [03:39] !gksudo | islington [03:39] islington: 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) [03:39] burzki: i am struggling for days to get my system running, i think there is a bug in the kernel [03:39] islington, listening [03:39] anyone know a way other then using cups to send a signal to a printer to make sure everything works properly ? [03:39] webbb82: a kludy way is to just bind a key to the proper « xclip » command [03:39] PrototypeX29A, well .. who knows what changes .. much still a mystery to me .. glad you got it back. leave well enough alone maybe [03:39] psp i seen a forum somewhere on chaning password or turning it off somewhere [03:39] kludgy even [03:40] kk, what are you seeing in the gedit that opened up, mazda01? [03:40] dragan: I am talking about if you go to System>Administrattion, login screen [03:40] bodi: I know my pass, it is just a weird problem [03:40] burzki: the generic kernel is not working for me [03:40] burzki: that is why i wanted to replace it in the first place [03:40] jrib, i dont like to hit the first and last button to paste [03:40] mazda01: you see text? blank file? [03:40] webbb82: that's fine [03:40] pspfreak: there's an auto-login option [03:41] islington, a blank text file since I told you that gdm.conf didn't exist. I am familar with linux for the most part. this does have me stumped though. why would my gdm.conf file have gone away [03:41] I know, but when I click unlock, it doesn't do anything [03:41] Pelo, cat textfile.txt > /dev/lp or some such [03:41] islington, maybe mythbuntu uses something else besides gdm [03:41] mazda01: that is odd. [03:41] jvasile, thanks I'll give it a go [03:41] np [03:41] pspfreak: it should show an unlock dialog box. If it doesn't discuss it in #ubuntu-bugs and then file a bug. [03:41] islington, what is xdg, do you know? [03:41] mazda01: it probably uses the xfce [03:42] <^Phantom^> dragon: phantomLink is me... [03:42] It doesn't, but is there a way I could change it via a conf file? [03:42] burzki: i guess, i will have to redo the process and document it, if it happens again i will do a bug report [03:42] islington, which is xdm? [03:42] jrib, how do i bind a key to xclip [03:42] Pelo, you might have to manually do a page feed to actually get the page to print [03:42] islington, nope, no xdm either [03:42] ^Phantom^: can't do PM, I'm a little busy here. This room would help you out better. [03:42] mazda01: mythbuntus default is xfce [03:42] jvasile, ? [03:42] mazda01: what did you upgrade from and/or to? [03:42] <^Phantom^> dragon: okay i'll go talk to the ops [03:43] Anybody have a guess as to how well a Pentium 266 will work as nothing more then a remote rsync server? [03:43] webbb82: you can use for example xbindkeys [03:43] can I change it via config files? [03:44] vvor, from 9.04 ubuntu with mythbuntu installed to 9.10 (whatever it did?) I orginally started with feisty and have upgraded dist's over time, then installed mytyhbuntu into 9.04 but thought I got rid of it and was running ubuntu-desktop, now upgraded and am here [03:44] mazda01: okay shot in the dark here, but what happens when you install gdm? [03:44] drbanzai: install ubuntu-server on it and configure it properly. It should do the job well. === berrybarry is now known as berrybarry|away [03:44] !away > berrybarry|away [03:44] berrybarry|away, please see my private message [03:44] were can I get ubuntu 9.04 instead? [03:44] dragon, Cool, thanks. [03:45] islington, according to aptitude, gdm 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1 is already installed [03:45] dragon: [03:45] pspfreak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04 and I suggest md5sum/sha1suming or both your ISO before burning the contents to CD as well [03:45] !md5sum | pspfreak [03:45] pspfreak: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:45] thanks [03:46] I'm going to go to 9.04 untill 9.10 bugs are fixed [03:46] jvasile, thanks, that did the job , sort of, I now know it's not a problem with cups [03:46] mazda01: do you want mythubuntu or ubuntu now? [03:46] vvor, ubuntu [03:46] vvor, but i already checked. ubuntu-desktop is already installed [03:46] mazda01: does this file exist? /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf [03:46] Pelo, glad it worked [03:46] is there a faster server? I am getting like 500KB a sec. [03:47] pspfreak: well 10.04 comes out at the end of April [03:47] Hey, I recently set my Karmic install to auto-login for me, the problem is it always asks for my password anyway to activate the wireless... I've tried looking for the key-chain program from Jaunty, but can't find it. Does anyone have any ideas? [03:47] jvasile, it didn'T work which is the point , worked on lp0 but not on lp1 , which is bugging the heck out of me [03:47] Ok. Bye [03:47] mazda01: or possibly /etc/gdm/custom.conf? [03:47] is there a way to see what scritps are executed by a deb-package? [03:47] PrototypeX29A: read the source package? [03:47] Pelo, ah. Sorry to hear that. I haven't debugged a printer in years, though, so I can't really provide much help. [03:47] jrib: the source package? [03:48] jrib, i read that the command to paste highlighted txt is pastie.rb but i made it a hotkey and i get a error message [03:48] !source | PrototypeX29A [03:48] PrototypeX29A: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [03:48] ubottu: i generated the deb myself with make-kpkg [03:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:48] webbb82: I don't know about pastie.rb, only about xclip... [03:48] islington, yeap, custom.conf is there and when I look in there, it already has DefaultSession=gnome.desktop [03:48] islington, no on the gdm-cdd.conf [03:48] well @jrib i guess [03:49] jvasile, it's not the printer that is the issue, If I still had windows installed I could check it the problem was with the pci card or with the kernel, but I don'T I'M gonna have to find another way to go about it, but thanks for the help [03:49] mazda01: yes what is the TimedLoginEnable set to? [03:49] jrib, so xclip is the command to paste high lighted txt? [03:49] what is the partitioning tool available per default in the latest liveCD ? fsdisk didnt seem to exist on the liveboot [03:50] DarkWell: gparted [03:50] islington, there is no graphocal theme set though. http://pastebin.com/f5858817e [03:50] ok [03:50] islington, check out the pastebin [03:50] found parted [03:50] webbb82: xclip with the proper arguments, sure [03:50] chu_ are you using the network applet in the panel? [03:50] PrototypeX29A: read make-kpkg's documentation I guess? Or explain what you are actually trying to accomplish [03:50] !kernel > PrototypeX29A [03:50] PrototypeX29A, please see my private message [03:51] islington,i just changed the autologin to false and noticed that there is a graphocal theme set. let me restart gdm. brb [03:51] jrib: i read the tutorials, but i don't think it does work correctly [03:51] add me halenaxsexy@hotmail.com [03:51] PrototypeX29A: you're being too vague for me to help you [03:52] WOOHOO dragon i'm about to burn the livecd so i'll be back once I'm ready to install ^_^ [03:52] jrib: i was asking how i can examine which scripts are executed, when a deb is installed [03:52] jrib: like "exactly" [03:53] !troll > halenacam [03:53] halenacam, please see my private message [03:53] mazda01: did you dpkg-reconfigure gdm [03:53] vvor, yes, that did nothing [03:54] PrototypeX29A: the best way is to read the source package. You can also extract all the .prerm scripts and such using dpkg but I don't know the command offhand [03:54] vvor, just brought me back to same command prompt with nothing to do [03:54] vvor, even ran it as root as required [03:54] ok do a rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity and you get a new gnome [03:55] islington, still didn't work. i have no start menu, have no idea what desktop manager i am running. it appears to look like xfce but can't tell [03:55] I need a little help setting permissions on an sshfs share from my server. I can't delete anything from the file from my local machine. Can someone give me a hand? [03:55] yeah you are running xfce mazda01 [03:55] islington, it is xfce but I want gnome-desktop to run. what gives? [03:55] dragon: it's kinda funny, i have like 100 blank dvds but no blank cds [03:55] mazda01: have you tried starting xfce? [03:55] (just goes to show that cds are starting to become a thing of the past) [03:55] !ot | Phantom [03:55] Phantom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:55] WIll Win7/Vista boot if it's /dev/sda2 instead of sda1 ? [03:55] islington, xfce still has a start menu, at least mythbuntu 9.04 did!!! [03:56] mazda01: if you want gnome-desktop, then use apt-get to install it [03:56] are there any way to slipstream you own liveCD ? i mean so you have removed unwanted programs and added wanted programs at your liking ? [03:56] Does anyone have Win7/Vista duel boot working? [03:56] nytek_, you think i am stupid?? i already did that. [03:56] fizk__: Vista and Ubuntu [03:56] which flavor of ubuntu is 2.6.24-24-lpia ? [03:56] nytek_, gdm's config states to run that desktop environment also, [03:56] fizk__: well used to be, now another distro [03:56] nytek_, thanks, but others are trying to help me [03:57] sebsebseb, oh hey man, you're still around :) [03:57] fizk__: yeah [03:57] PrototypeX29A: dpkg-deb --control it seems [03:57] does anyone know the command to paste high lighted text [03:57] mazda01: i didnt know you tried that, are you trying to start a fight? [03:57] fizk__: have Vista or Windows 7 installed first, then put Ubuntu on, and you should be ok [03:57] mazda01 nytek_ calm down [03:57] PrototypeX29A: but it seems like you are asking a strange question. i.e. you want to do something but are going about it the wrong way [03:57] sebsebseb, i don't what i need to do, but Grub always just reloads when I choose Vista/Win7 during boot [03:57] Ok im back [03:57] sebsebseb, always has for v1, and now again for v2 [03:58] mazda01: I am still convinced that the problem is with gdm [03:58] nytek_, no, just get annoyed by others butting in when someone is already receiving help. i know you you didn't realize that though. sorry, just frustrated [03:58] sebsebseb, yeah i installed in that order [03:58] fizk__: not sure, what do you want Windows for anyway? [03:58] jrib: there is no source package, i would have to read the source of make-kpkg, which would not be much more of a help i guess [03:58] for one, I do not think that ubuntu uses custom.conf, can someone confirm that? [03:58] sebsebseb, just incase [03:58] How can i install ubuntu inside windows? [03:59] jrib: thanks for the hint [03:59] islington, ok, well, at least a little progress. i now have xfce right-click menu and I can access system settings. let me see what I can do now from a gui to fix this default session problem [03:59] fizk__: in case of what? [03:59] sebsebseb, i guess i could run in vmware [03:59] Dorkins, wubi ? [03:59] mazda01: okay [03:59] fizk__: yeah I was going to put something about virtual machines [03:59] fizk__: Virtualbox :) [03:59] PrototypeX29A: did you see the last thing I said? [03:59] edbian: I'm reporting him to the ops this time. [04:00] sebsebseb, VBox is nice........but vmware is pretty solid [04:00] mazda01: islington just remove gdm & install gdm [04:00] fizk__: so really you don't have a proper reason to want Windows still? I mean for example a program that you can't get working in Wine [04:00] is lpia the atom processor? [04:00] lp - intel atom ? [04:00] sebsebseb, not really [04:00] jrib: Dorkins is trolling and could you some of your attention. [04:00] jrib: the --control thing? yes i did, thanks [04:00] fizk__: Virtualbox can also use VMDK files, what VMware uses for it's virtual hard disk [04:00] PrototypeX29A: no: but it seems like you are asking a strange question. i.e. you want to do something but are going about it the wrong way [04:01] sebsebseb, well.....i actually needed it to run NetBeans at a decent speed [04:01] I know this one's all over the net, but I'd like some person to person contact. Has anyone found a workaround for getting Samba and Windows 7 to successfully authenticate the login? [04:01] dragon, What did he do? I didn't notice anything [04:01] mazda01: any luck with gui? [04:01] jrib: there is no sourcepackage containing the control scripts [04:01] has anyone here used ubuntu on the mini 10? [04:01] jrib: with exception of make-kpkg [04:01] PrototypeX29A: I understand this. [04:02] fizk__: I got VIsta on here at the moment just in case, I will want it for something where a vm won't cut it in the future. However I have done Ubuntu only before on an old computer, in like 2006 or something, and yeah it's quite a nice feeling really, for a lot of us. [04:02] Basically, Samba and Windows 7 will not authenticate. I've already tried a few registry edits per the web. [04:02] anyone? [04:02] sebsebseb, Long time no talk! :) [04:02] Dorkins: what was the question? [04:02] edbian: Dorkins.. you can't convince him to use wubi. He'll keep asking it over and over. [04:02] How can i install ubuntu inside windows? [04:02] edbian: yeah [04:02] dragon, That sounds annoying [04:03] Dorkins: asked and answered [04:03] jrib, you maybe missed the very beginning. if i understand right .. PrototypeX29A updated the kernel and lost wlan capacity and had to take it apart and put it back together to get it back, now trying to figure out what went wrong. [04:03] does anyone here know anything about ubuntu? [04:03] sebsebseb, I was doing some BlueTooth programming, i think the drivers weren't working in vmware/vbox. [04:03] wubi says you boot into it not run it inside windows [04:03] !anyone > yates [04:03] yates, please see my private message [04:03] yates, There are many of us that know a ton [04:03] burzki: thank you [04:03] guys [04:03] jrib: I hope you're watching Dorkins [04:03] fizk__: it's a bit odd if you can't just boot up Windows from the old Grub or the new, unless of course it's not set up properly to boot it up [04:03] ubottu: i did not see a pm [04:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:03] does anyone know how to change paste hightlighted txt from shift ins to somthing els like shift z anyone know wheren to do this [04:03] Dorkins: that is wrong. check out the screenshots : http://wubi-installer.org/screenshots.php [04:04] hey [04:04] webbb82: where are you trying to paste? [04:04] dragon: are you like the little tattle tail boy who cried wolf? [04:04] is it possible to link 2 computers via USB in such a way that the USB link emulates a CD-ROM? [04:04] how can I cut a part of video file (AVI)? [04:04] from the wubi page: How do I select whether to run Windows or Ubuntu? [04:04] You can choose to run Windows or Ubuntu at the system boot screen. [04:04] Yates: Dont ask a question about a question. If you need support just ask your REAL question and we will answer it for you:) [04:04] !grub2 | fizk__ [04:04] fizk__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:04] dragon, any window [04:04] i did. [04:04] jrib: but you are right, i dont understand anything of the perl-code :) [04:04] says it right in the wubi help page [04:04] webbb82: Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste. [04:04] linera, changing clothes and coming back w/ a new nick? go home [04:04] Dorkins: if you want to use ubuntu *inside* windows then use a virtualizer like virtualbox [04:04] for example the host computer emulates a CD/DVD-ROM interface via USB [04:04] i want to change it to a single key [04:05] and this virtual box thing isn't working [04:05] yates: Asking if anyone knows anything about ubuntu in an UBUNTU SUPPORT irc isnt really a question yates [04:05] Dorkins: I see you want to use both ubuntu and windows at the same time? [04:05] yes [04:05] sebsebseb, at first, os-prober wasn't even detecting Win7 [04:05] is 2.6.24-lpia the version of ubuntu hardy for atom processor, e.g., the mini 10 [04:05] Dorkins: a good idea, is to have Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine :) [04:05] sebsebseb, so I used the win7 install DVD to repair the boot info [04:05] Dorkins: if you need help running virtualbox in windows, you should try #vbox or ##windows [04:05] hmm. what is wrong with the virtualbox idea? [04:05] i want to learn linux before installing linux by itself [04:06] what jrib said Dorkins [04:06] Yates: One Moment please. [04:06] islington, jrib: I've pointed him to virtualbox an hour ago. [04:06] what id the default fs type ubuntu used for a default installation ? im just using the live boot so im curious what it uses [04:06] !pm | dragon [04:06] dragon: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:06] it won't boot linux [04:06] sebsebseb, that worked, but grub just reloads when i choose win7 . [04:06] sed s/id/is/ [04:06] bastid_raZor: what do you mean? [04:06] fizk__: ok well hardly anyone uses it anymore, but there is an alternative to Grub, LILO [04:06] Dorkins: you have a question for #vbox then [04:06] i selected the os as linux and version as ubuntu and it doesn't boot [04:06] sebsebseb, if there's some way to debug what's going on, i could do some googling [04:06] fizk__: if your up for it, you could try installing LILO in Ubuntu [04:07] sebsebseb, lol :) [04:07] anyone with an idea why my terminal freezes when I try to run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' ? The kids over at #ndiswrapper are all asleep. [04:07] hi.. how can I cut a portion of a video file in ubuntu..(avi file) [04:07] sebsebseb, too old school for me [04:07] does anyone know if it's possible to emulate a USB CD-ROM device on one PC and connect that to another PC? [04:07] but my problem is getting ubuntu install inside windows [04:07] fizk__: at least one distro I know of, as far as I know is stil using lilo by default [04:07] dragon: are you having trouble understanding the factoid ubottu sent you about pm'ing someone without asking permission? [04:07] jmyers: run another terminal and try dmesg | tail [04:07] Dorkins: actually your probelm seems to be getting virtualbox to act right. [04:07] and not where i boot into linux or windows [04:07] sebsebseb, which one? [04:07] fizk__: there is also some way to get the Windows boot loader, booting Ubuntu [04:07] eddy: try avidemux, a good simple editor [04:08] jmyers, have you tried sudo su first and then do modprove ndiswrapper ? [04:08] modprobe even [04:08] !ot > bastid_raZor [04:08] bastid_raZor, please see my private message [04:08] Yates: Are you referring to the “linux-source-2.6.24” IPIA?\ [04:08] Does anyone know of a good way to update bios on a ubuntu machine when the BIOS installer is only in windows? VirtualBox won't work :(. [04:08] fizk__: VectorLinux it's Slackware based, and I guess Open Office is still on their paid for CD, but people that know what they are doing can install it themselves anyway. Oh and this is off topic. [04:08] [ Hola ]----`,'.- [04:08] digitalaxis: i may be... i got the string from the response to "uname -r" [04:09] !es Porota [04:09] [ ;) ]----`,'.- [04:09] !es ! Porota [04:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:09] gotmilk82: some BIOS update programs come as a bootable update CD image. [04:09] i guess no one knows how to install ubuntu inside windows [04:09] DarkWell no, I haven't. Of course when I ran a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper JUST NOW, it sorta worked. gave me an error:WARNING ALL config files need a .conf /etc/modprobe.d will be ignored in a future release. [04:09] PhantomLink: |, not ! [04:09] Oh, right, sorry. [04:09] Dorkins: why are you ignoring what several people have told you? Do you actually want help? [04:09] and then a similar warning for /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper [04:09] Dorkins: we do, but we are not confident answering virtualbox problems [04:09] Yates: Well your going to be more specific, only thing you would use the “linux-source-2.6.24” for really is making your own kernel [04:10] jmrodri-gone, ok there is the answer then [04:10] sebsebseb, i started with Slackware......but i wanna make this work in grub since it should be working [04:10] Yates: And if your able to code your own kernel, your not asking for help in ubuntu support lol [04:10] dragon, I wish mine was that way...all I get is a .exe to be run in windows/DOS [04:10] jmyers , there is the answer i think [04:10] sebsebseb, one question is, everyone says Vista/Win7 needs tobe the first partition [04:10] Can anyone help me with the gnome-volume-control [04:10] gotmilk82: you might want to try wine [04:10] they said wubi which says that you boot into either linux or windows. and one said virtual box which the linux didn't boot [04:11] sebsebseb, it's at the beginning of my HDD but it's recognized as /dev/sda2 [04:11] DarkWell: so should I cp ndiswrapper ndiswrapper.conf in that directory? [04:11] hello! [04:11] gotmilk82: there are freedos disks out there. Also, try #windows or #hardware [04:11] hi guys [04:11] I wonder what happened to mazda? [04:11] Dorkins: and then remember when I told you to go to #vbox for help with vbox? [04:11] sebsebseb, could that be the problem? [04:11] jmyers, meaning modprobe dosent return proper signal to the calling app meaning it might hang if it is actually waiting for a proper exit signal [04:11] !hi | gigglefight [04:11] gigglefight: 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! [04:12] I'm interested in the xmacro program. I've got many questions on how to create a macro on Ubuntu 9.10, problem: click won't work when recording macro. Is there a way to manually create a file? hi dragon! [04:12] mz2))1vml [04:12] the error message is a hint what you need to do i think.. never been using ndiswrapper [04:12] fizk__: yeah they do, I thought yeah maybe, but probably doesn't really matter, but then recently I re installed Vista on this computer twice, both times it wiped out my seperate Ext4 /home partition, at first I was like what happended? then later found out what had happended, when the Vista installer argued where it wanted to install itself, in a partition that was being used or something in fact, I told it to go on the free space, but yep [04:12] I'd like to create the file using the coordinates and the commands, but where is the editor? is it gedit? [04:12] Dorkins: final thing I can think of is http://www.colinux.org/ [04:12] it removed the home. First time round I had got hold of some data that I had no back up of, and put it on the new home, that it then later also deleted. Second time round I coudn't recover everything it seems, but lost nothing important anyway. [04:13] DarkWell: you just escaped my realm of understanding. That error message tells me that if those files don't have .conf on the end of them, they will be ignored in future releases. Future releases of what? I do not know. [04:13] hi [04:13] i said ubuntu. [04:13] I want to install ubuntu inside windows [04:13] there's a problem with xmacrorec2 and ubuntu 9.10 [04:13] :( [04:13] hi darkwell [04:13] I did it today with Wubi. [04:13] i think in future releases of the kernel [04:14] <[[thufir]]> how do I run /etc/profile.d/rubygems1.8.sh ? I just added that file. I prefer not to reboot. [04:14] gigglefight: it's probably a bug you're looking at [04:14] bgjsl, hey [04:14] dorkins} [04:14] Dorkins: join the vbox room, they will help you [04:14] gigglefight: did it work with prevoius versions of ubuntu? [04:14] plse usde wubi [04:14] a bug? when will it be fixed? this is the first time using it. [04:14] DarkWell: jmyers it is just a warning of things to come it does not effect the current kernel [04:14] that is a cool sol for yr inquiry [04:14] sebsebseb, so if i somehow get Vista/Win7 as /dev/sda1, i should be set.......... how do I make it partition 1 without reinstall? [04:14] I've managed to put ubuntu and windows 7 on my computer :) i absolutely love it. [04:15] gigglefight: #ubuntu-bugs might have a better idea. If it's been filed, it will probably show up in a google search with right keywords. [04:15] gigglefight: :) [04:15] too weird. It hasn't worked in 3 days, and I come home from work and it just works tonight. Flakey. [04:15] I gather by the lack of responses nobody knows a direction to point me in..? [04:15] Wubi was simple. thing is that you have to put the .iso and wubi in same folder. [04:15] Hey all how do I get DVD playback on Karmic? [04:15] !dvd | darcy [04:15] darcy: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:15] bgjsl, ? [04:15] assas1n: sorry what was the ? [04:15] what about installing ubuntu like a program? [04:15] sebsebseb, btw, did you loose important stuff when windows wiped it out? :| [04:15] re [04:15] fizk__: not sure if you can move around partitions, like it seems you want to do [04:15] assas1n: Just wait a few minutes and ask your question again. [04:15] Dorkins: Ubuntu isn't a program, it's an operating system. [04:15] fizk__: no I put at the end that I didn't lose anything important [04:15] islington: I want to link 2 computers via USB, and emulate a CD-ROM device on one of those computers [04:15] gigglefight: if you can't find a bug with same problem as yours, you should definitely file one. [04:15] sebsebseb, good good [04:16] how do you start eth0 [04:16] oh on Windows 7? i'm not too sure. but open source programs are out there for Windows. [04:16] Dorkins: You cant install ubuntu "like a program" lol. [04:16] pos wont bring it up even with wirless stopped [04:16] oh. I know that the problem exsists. [04:16] fizk__: what I get for deciding I wanted to destroy a Vista clean install a bit and have some fun, before doing a proper re install, hmm [04:16] assas1n: I have never heard of any such thing being done, what are you trying to accomplish out of curiosity? [04:16] Dorkins, i think you need a linux loader,, i recall slackware had such technique to boot up/install linux from windows [04:16] just was trying to work around it [04:16] everyone keep telling me i can [04:16] Dorkins: The EASIEST way to run Ubunut, INSIDE of Windows, is to use Virtual Box. I do the opposite on my box. My box is Ubuntu, with a Virtual Machine that runs WinXP. My hardware AMD Athlon 64 is poorly supported, and some things I still need Windows to do. [04:16] yo eth0 [04:16] Dorkins, havent looked further into it so dont know what you are required to mimic that trick [04:17] well islington, I wish to install OpenSolaris on my other box, without using another blank DVD (because I can't find one). [04:17] what is this virtural box you speak of? [04:17] virtual box failed. i created the ubuntu system in virtual box and it never booted [04:17] so I'm done with virtual box [04:17] gigglefight: it's a program. Google it and check it out. [04:17] I did! [04:17] :) [04:17] of an hour. [04:17] or maybe more longer. [04:17] <[-jon-]> would runing quotas cause a signifigant overherad for disk io? [04:17] assas1n: cant you just move your cd drive, to your other comp? [04:18] hmm [04:18] fizk__: I don't have really, really important data on this computer. Going back to Grub it has always been a pain. [04:18] wow, that was a pretty rude response to my attempt to help eh? [04:18] islington: that computer has a DVD-ROM drive. The problem is, I don't have any blank DVDs ;) [04:18] are those max 16 partitiions limit due to the ahrdware of sata disks or is it something else limiting it ? [04:18] assas1n: oy sorry brainfart. [04:19] lol happens to the best of us mate [04:19] hmm [04:19] ok, well back to trying to get my wireless card to work. ;) [04:19] maybe I could boot off LAN.. let me check to see if I have any crossover cables [04:19] assas1n, any spare4 usb stick ? [04:19] dragon: :S the cd is taking a while to boot [04:19] assas1n: any wasy that either of the comps can clone your harddrive? [04:20] sebsebseb, you'd think that this should be pretty well ironed out by now, eh [04:20] fizk__: A pain for a lot of us. Hmm maybe your uhmm config file or whatever it was instead of menu.lst for Grub 2 isn't set up properly, hence Windows not booting up properly. [04:20] assas1n: unetbootin allows a cd-less install of various things, dunno if solaris is one of them though. Can you plug the disk for the new machine into the running one and do an install that way? [04:20] islington, not that I can think of... if they could, not sure how that would solve anything [04:20] assas1n: DVD-ROM drives can read CDs. [04:20] jmyers, whats w/ your wifi? [04:20] I think my BIOS has support for booting via ethernet [04:20] god i hate ubuntu [04:20] hmm [04:21] dragon: that still requires a blank DVD/CD, which I do not have. [04:21] KWhat_Mobile, you dont ? [04:21] KWhat_Mobile: ok, here's your money back... [04:21] KWhat_Mobile: Hate is a strong world, so you probably mean dislike, what happended? [04:21] KWhat_Mobile: what happened? [04:21] assas1n: create a LiveUSB [04:21] how can i install windows fonts with apt-get ? [04:21] hate is a strong word [04:21] losha: +1 [04:21] How can i get ustream to work with karmic? [04:21] !hate | KWhat_Mobile [04:21] KWhat_Mobile: hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy [04:21] Ok, thanks for all of your help in the past but due to 9.10s faults like AMD bridge, sound, and so many others, I have to leave. [04:22] dragon: ah yes their's a factoid [04:22] somethings seriosuly jacked up with your networking [04:22] !details | KWhat_Mobile [04:22] KWhat_Mobile: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:22] KWhat_Mobile, is it downloading probs ? [04:22] I agree with ubottu. So you dislike some points regarding Ubuntu. Not every OS is perfect. They all have their positives and negatives. I would dislike the fact that Ubuntu doesn't natively run .exe executables if I were a gamer. [04:22] fizk__: I guess I can't really help, well good luck [04:22] OptimaD: sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts [04:23] sebsebseb, i tried doing it manually (copied from a grub2 tutorial), and using os-prober ... both have the same result. The website was pretty much what os-prober creates [04:23] that is right darkwell [04:23] assas1n: have you checked wine? [04:23] !wine > assas1n [04:23] assas1n, please see my private message [04:23] sebsebseb, what's interesting tho, is that the MacOSX boot loader can boot Vista! lol [04:23] i am agreed too [04:23] fizk__: what's os-prober ? [04:23] !stfu > dragon [04:23] dragon, please see my private message [04:23] for example wireless wpa wpa2 stopped working and the os refuese to get a lease or bring up for waht ever reason the ehternet port [04:23] fizk__: your on a Mac? [04:23] bring it up manually and it wont dole an ip to it [04:23] so by jacked i mean totally not working [04:24] assas1n: what was that supposed to mean? [04:24] How i can configure Ubuntu for dont boot with GNOME? i want only "terminal screen" :) [04:24] sebsebseb, Ubuntu script to figure out what partitions you have and create configs for grub.cfg [04:24] what i would like is to slipstream an own liveCD [04:24] fizk__: oh ok [04:24] Wow, this is a lot of people in this room. [04:24] Danielpk: Install the server edition? [04:24] to containt exactly those apps i want [04:24] !custom | DarkWell [04:24] sebsebseb, x86 MacOSX (iDeneb, Kalayway,etc) [04:24] Danielpk: if you want only a terminal and no gui, install the package ubuntu-server [04:24] <[[thufir]]> how do I run /etc/profile.d/rubygems1.8.sh without rebooting? [04:25] i want to change the hotkey paste high lighted txt from shift-isn to shift-z where do i find that , or what would the commmand be to paste high lighted txt so i can setup a keybinding [04:25] well that shut everyone up [04:25] dragon, ziesemer, dont have other away? :P [04:25] !remix | DarkWell [04:25] !custom [04:25] sebsebseb, i installed MacOSX to do ffmpeg4iphone [04:25] Danielpk: om the login screen, at the bottom, one of the selections is by default GNOME. Change it to xterm, and it will launch with only xterm. [04:25] Danielpk: which os version are you running [04:25] DarkWell: hmm [04:25] dragon: you made a suggestion based on my reasoning, which was completely irrelevant to my problem [04:25] DarkWell: there's some factoid for what you want to do [04:25] Is ubottu down? I don't see any responses... [04:25] losha latest.. just downloaded. [04:25] losha: that's since those two aren't factoids [04:25] sebsebseb, the bot isnt alive ? [04:26] atomicpoet, It dont ask for user at startup. [04:26] I'm not trying to be rude, but I know what wine is, and it still doesn't provide native execution [04:26] losha: I got pm'd about that by the bot [04:26] !ping | losha [04:26] losha: Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [04:26] Danielpk: are you running Karmic? [04:26] islington, what do u think is the best way for me to manage/control this ubuntu pc from my win7 computer both visually and command? what progs shud i setup on this box and win7? [04:26] losha: aren't factoid triggers I should say [04:26] sebsebseb: hi sebsebseb. Did ubottu not use to say something when a non-trigger was issued? [04:26] mkay, time to look up how PXE boot works :P [04:26] sebsebseb, hehe i got time to kill so if there is possibility to customize ones own liveCD im more than happy try it out =) [04:27] losha: don't know [04:27] Hey guys, I changed Karmic to aut-login, but it still needs my password after the gnome session has booted up to activate the wireless, kinda defeats the purpose. Anyway, does anyone know how I can set it to "remember" the password? [04:27] assas1n: You totally don't know what wine is. And you need to learn to behave. [04:27] OptimaD: er what? could you clarify what is meant by managae/control? OptimaD [04:27] DarkWell: you can, but not sure the link or the factoid trigger for the bot it seems, that triggers the info [04:27] how do i kill processes by terminal again? [04:27] dragon: you're still blabbering on about something that is completely irrelevant to anyone's problem. I know what wine is. It doesn't provide native execution of .exe files. [04:27] atomicpoet, yeah. 9.10 version [04:27] Psinetic: kill command , or xkill [04:27] OptimaD, kind of like VNC but i also want to setup ftp on this omputer and i wnat full access from my win7 computer [04:27] !flexible [04:28] Psinetic: killall or kill [04:28] sebsebseb, btw, do you still use a swap partition? it's taking up precious primary partition space :( [04:28] !customize [04:28] ifup eth0 ignoring unknown interface eth0 LOL [04:28] !personalize [04:28] its in there ifconfig -a [04:28] OptimaD: well ssh + samba and you have full control [04:28] fizk__: I don't need to use a SWAP personalley, since I am not going to hibernate [04:28] sebsebseb, and system info is saying it's not using swap at all [04:28] Danielpk: 9.10 (karmic) then. In the past I've renamed /usr/sbin/gdm and /usr/sbin/gdm-binary to stop them being executed at login. You will get a login prompt instead of a gui screen... [04:28] fizk__: and have enough RAM to not need to use one [04:28] Daniel: look at this screen. At the bottom, where it says sessions, the default is GNOME. Change it to xterm. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/3.png [04:28] fizk__: on this computer, with 1GB, and the other as well with 2GB [04:29] how to let my 8.10 support general 107 keyboard ??

I just followed them.

[04:31] KWhat_Mobile: certain things that used to work in 9.04, don't in 9.10 [04:31] i should say, what is the command line ? [04:32] i thought it would be system-config-firewall, but that doesn't work [04:32] webbb82: try it with a lower case 'g' [04:32] dragon, it's not killing it :S http://pastebin.com/d658a7178 [04:32] it shows that it did, but it's still not dead [04:32] ya [04:32] PhantomLink, does anything else work to boot up on your computer ?

Thanks I have a small problem I just install the NVidia drivers form System/Admin/Hardware and now after rebooting its crashing. How do I get to the command line and grub to change the boot options [04:34] PhantomLink: It's not the CD causing the problem. [04:34] dragon, kill -9 28372 got it. what does -9 and -15 mean? [04:34] phantomcircuit, maybe you should dispose the entire batch jsut to save time ? [04:34] KWhat_Mobile: hmm? [04:34] dragon: really? [04:34] steven_Office: at the grub prompt you can press "e" to edit the config for that boot [04:34] chu_, w/ a caveat though .. in lucid, ubuntuOne - cloud filesharing uses the keyring. so if you disable it .. not sure how that will work for you later. fyi [04:34] KWhat_Mobile: oh your on 9.04? [04:34] Is that why ubuntu 8.04 didn't work on that SAME batch, but worked from a different batch? [04:34] DarkEyes, maybe you should learn how to use tab complete [04:34] I'm going to be getting a 3rd gen ipod touch for my 18th birthday. From what I've read the best way to sync it would be to set up a vm with windows running itunes. [04:34] hey folks [04:35] steven_Office: do yo get to a terminal session login? [04:35] blakkheim, Thanks You [04:35] KWhat_Mobile: sometimes stuff that doesn't just work in Ubuntu, does in other distros [04:35] I've never set up a vm before. Is virtual box the best for me to use? [04:35] dragon: can I burn the iso to a dvd?

[04:35] EastDallas, no I do not [04:35] also can I use an oem disk for a vm? [04:35] how would one test to see if aiglx is working properly? [04:35] poseidon: you will need to use the non-OSE version of VB if you want usb support [04:35] ?? [04:35] what blakkheim said [04:35] DarkWell: sometimes.... [04:35] poseidon: yes an oem disk will work. [04:35] hmm [04:35] dragon: ie. if i burned the image to one of my blank DVDs, can I still boot it? [04:36] PhantomLink: Music CDs are optimized for music, but it doesn't really matter. No, DVDs don't work as far as I know. [04:36] oh god the irony [04:36] DarkEyes, my bad [04:36] dragon: then i'll be back [04:36] that was the last blank, and we need more [04:36] DarkWell, maybe you should learn to use tab complete [04:36] blakkheim, what does OSE mean? [04:36] poseidon: open source edition [04:36] what is the method for controlling "services" under ubuntu hardy? [04:36] in fedora, it's "chkconfig" [04:36] PhantomLink: I've burnt cd images to dvds and booted them. Dunno if it's *guaranteed* to work though... [04:37] well, wait [04:37] losha: and it's a waste of DVDs :) [04:37] does ubuntu have a "service xyz start/stop" command? [04:37] yates: karmic does [04:37] poseidon: in other words you need to get the non-open source version of virtualbox from their site instead of installing it with aptitude if you want usb support (for the ipod) [04:37] sup guys. anyone know of a guide to follow or program to figure out that allows me to use my netbook as a wifi extender/repeater? [04:37] dragon: round here, with sales, blank dvds are as cheap (and sometimes cheaper) than blank cds [04:37] thanks islington [04:37] dragon: what is karmic?

(I'm trying to reinstall Gnome on a broken Jaunty system where the network adapter only works in Gnome) [04:58] found it it was GIMP EastDallas and scunizi [04:58] it was not enabled [04:58] working fine now [04:59] stsm: :) [04:59] stsm: inkscape also has the same basic type of settings if you use that as well. [04:59] scunizi: gonna make this charity portrait and i need to hurry before the event is over, sorry for the complaining :p [04:59] scunizi: rarily but thanx, nice to know [05:00] dumducky: you might have to find out what packages are included in the meta and download the all individually. :( unless someone else has a better idea... [05:01] EastDallas: OMFGoodness!?! [05:01] blakkheim, Im open to more options I was able to change grub from Boot "0" to boot Option "2" witch should have kick me back to the default kernel but nothing [05:01] dumducky: researching.... [05:01] Is kde-core not available in Karmic? [05:01] steven_Office: i'm not very experienced with grub2, i still use regular grub [05:02] hi [05:02] is it now kde-minimal? [05:02] dumducky, you could try with keryx http://keryxproject.org/ [05:02] EastDallas: how would I do that without a working inet connection and pkg mgr on the target host? =o( [05:02] Anyone here know if/how I can spread a backup (with rsync/rsnapshot) over multiple drives? [05:03] Cannot get Jackd and Hydrogen to do anything but crackle [05:03] dumducky: why don't you just put a liveCD in the drive and add it as a repository to sources.list? [05:03] blakkheim, at the install time I have the option on witch grub to install? its grub.cfg [05:03] dumducky, download all the debs of the metapackage, put them in a folder and then install them e.g. like this dpkg -i *.deb [05:03] Fezzler: I'm gonna hide :p [05:03] Fezzler: lol [05:03] EastDallas>> :) [05:03] mbrigdan: not sure but I was just reading about couchdb which is installed by default.. that might do it [05:03] EastDallas>> You're good [05:04] steven_Office: when you install ubuntu you can choose which you want to use, but i got an error when i tried regular grub there. [05:04] ic [05:04] steven_Office: i'd say just find someone who knows a bit more about grub2 to help you out [05:04] EastDallas>> Crackling is more than I got before - so progress :) [05:04] EastDallas: apt-cdrom refused to mount or add cdrom source and editing sources.list didn't work either -- apt said it couldn't be done manually [05:05] blakkheim, thanks for everything... have a great one ..... [05:05] i am upset with ubuntu :(....I can't figure out a way to update my windows only BIOS flasher....virtualbox and qemu have failed me. Wine won't run it either.... [05:05] dumducky: can you mount the CD? [05:05] kostkon: I need a package manifests to do that but the metapackages are not shown on packages.ubuntu.com (the 'Vrtual' section is empty [05:06] dumducky: can you mount a flash drive? [05:08] oz_888 [05:08] EastDallas: Not without editing /etc/fstab, but apt-cdrom does mount but then tells me it's not a ubuntu disk (it is, I ran the checksum boot applet and installed from it before). Yes, plugdev does seem to recognize my USB sticks. [05:08] dumducky, hmm. maybe keryx will be able to download the packages of the metapackage automatically. but you'll obviously need to run it on another system. [05:08] gotmilk82: you wont be able to do it if the vendor doesnt make a Linux version [05:10] kostkon: I'm using the liveCD on the target to get on IRtC and (hopefully) copy required .debs to target partition [05:10] i cannot find a program that can make periodic screenshots [05:10] gotmilk82: If you need to flash your BIOS you might have to re install Windows just to do it... [05:10] any suggestions? [05:10] well I am having trouble with laptop...on certain port replicators at the login the m button becomes a b repeating and the enter key becomes a ` repeating...only way to stop it is to boot off the replicator and then plop it on there after login :( Very annoying [05:10] kostkon: I'm going to look at that URI (keryx), BBIAB. TY [05:10] dumducky: couldn't you add a usb stick as a repository? I've never done it, but it seems feasible. It would be the easiest route... [05:10] dumducky, np [05:11] gotmilk82: is your keyboard setup properly? [05:12] !aptoncd | dumducky EastDallas .. probably could be put on a usb stick as well. [05:12] dumducky EastDallas .. probably could be put on a usb stick as well.: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [05:12] gotmilk82: on install i mean... [05:12] I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my EEE PC alongside Windows XP. Everything worked fine until I tried to boot into XP and Grub gave an error. Now it gives errors even when I try to boot into Ubuntu. Something like Grub Error: No such partition exists. Any idea's what i can do? [05:12] yes...works on most of the replicators, just not a few. Very odd. Dell claims that BIOS update should fix, but I can't get it on there... :( [05:12] EastDallas: llas: same issue: what do I put on the stick (without downloading an entire .ISO at CDMA speeds)? BBIAB (researching) [05:14] are there ways to make ipset work with the liveCD kernel ? apt-get install ipset wasnt enough apparently [05:14] dumducky: sounds like keryx is a good option... [05:14] * dumducky slaps forehead ... duh -- copy the ISO that already have!! (sorry EastDallas, I am *dum*ducky after all) [05:14] scunizi: Hmm, that doesn't really seem like I could use it as backup software. Do you know if there's a way that I can make ubuntu treat 2 external usb drives as a single volume? [05:15] dumducky :! [05:15] mbrigdan: the only thing I can think of is by using LVM.. but I reallly don't know that much about it. [05:15] dumucky good thinking... [05:17] nnm,nmnm [05:17] thezboe: I actually just helped someone with a similar problem the other night...trying to locate the ubuntuforums thread that solved the problem... [05:18] scunizi, That looks like it could work, at least according to wikipedia. Now I just need to figure out how to use it. Thanks! [05:19] mbrigdan: sure.. [05:20] mbrigdan: the only issue with it is you might end up with part of one file split between the two usb sticks.. [05:20] EastDallas: now how do I get APTonCD using a liveCD? [05:21] ok who nows were x is stored? and is it still called x11.. something I need to kill the Nvidia driver some how.... giving me kernal PANIC [05:21] dumducky: using symaptic? [05:21] dumducky: using synaptic? [05:22] zoug: it's not in the repositories available from a live CD -- I just looked [05:22] dumducky: you can update the repo in live-cd [05:22] um [05:22] can some1 help me with stepmania on ds? [05:23] dumducky: synaptic>Settings>repositories>add CD ROM [05:23] dumducky ?!?!? :s [05:23] zoug: is it in 'Universe' ?

[05:24] dumducky: sys admn:universe, yeah [05:24] dumducky: reload synaptic [05:24] EastDallas: that adds the CD into the *virtual userspace* inside the live install [05:25] dumducky: reload synaptic and make sure universe is activated in your sources.. [05:25] anybody can speak chinese? [05:25] zoug: reloading packages... [05:25] dumducky: I guess I wasn't thinking...I was just thinking about adding the CD in synaptic [05:25] jerry__, fjeo; imr;oicqm ;orij',ijq]we [05:25] sorry [05:26] dumducky: Could you do a reinstall of gnome-desktop in Synaptic and choose to just download the packages? Just brainstorming at this point. [05:27] EastDallas: that's an interesting approach... may I msg you? [05:27] hi dumducky [05:27] dumducky: EastDallas: why do all that to install aptoncd? [05:27] Have an ssh problem I upgraded to 9.10 and now sshd does not work. I uninstalled and now cannot get installed:Errors were encountered while processing: [05:27] : /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-client_1%3a5.1p1-6ubuntu2_i386.deb [05:27] /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a5.1p1-6ubuntu2_i386.deb [05:27] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:27] i tried clearing cache and other things i googled, but no luck so far. any one have ideas or same issue? Sorry for all the txt [05:28] Could anyone help me troubleshoot a freezing problem? === echelon is now known as jboli [05:29] tell me kuzma [05:29] well [05:29] i just got a new compy [05:29] 64bit, amd [05:29] and i have a raid setup [05:29] zoug: not to install aptonCd, just to get the gnome packages. dumducky: Yeah, you can message me, but I just thought about something. It probably won't re-download all dependencies, just the packages that are part of the metapackages. [05:29] and once in a while the machine just completely freezes [05:29] 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. ALSO: totem doesnt tell me what songs playing on streaming radio anymore. does anyone know how to fix this? [05:30] completely unresponsive [05:30] dumducky: why would you want default packages from a live-cd through aptoncd? [05:30] ok [05:30] i restart and it has to check the filesystem of my /home [05:30] EastDallas: okay.. [05:30] i dont know what else to tell u [05:30] i have been using flash, which isnt supposed to be to stable on 64bit [05:30] try to reinstall all again [05:30] i dont know what to do [05:31] really? [05:31] you can also use recovery mode if possible [05:31] its strange bc it runs fine for like a day b4 something happens [05:31] could it b bc of the fakeraid? [05:31] zoug: CDMA connection to Inet -- just want to install Gnome in environment with *no* Inet. Was thinking I could just wget all the .debs, copy to locally mounted media, reboot and install with dpkg -i but Gnome has *major* dependencies and recommends and packages.ubuntu.com does not have *metapackages* (the 'virtual' section is . empty) [takes_breath()-1].... [05:32] how do i use recovery mode? [05:32] or rather, what does it do 4 me? [05:32] ciao [05:32] welcome [05:33] the point is that you have to restart yr pc if possible to get that option recovery mode [05:33] dumducky: ah, interesting [05:34] can anybody give me an advice? if it's good me to refresh all the possible applicants? [05:34] tell me yr version [05:34] how come when i type 'info foo' it just shows the manpage for foo instead of the info page? [05:34] when i type H it says not found too [05:35] dumducky: are you done installing aptoncd? [05:36] kuzmaionitch, please tighten up your lines [05:36] zoug: at 20kBps, took a while just to refresh package lists... working...

[05:44] i hate grub2 [05:45] OptimaD: use a lighter distro [05:45] a site needs me to download shockwave [05:45] but the only options for downloading shockwave are windows or mac [05:45] anyone else find it annoying? i feel like it is harder for me to figure out which files to remove and or edit in order to remove older kernels that appear in it every time i update...i know how to run update-grub, but i am not always sure which files in /boot i can remove to make it slim and clean [05:46] hello [05:46] ? [05:47] Hi, any LVM gurus about? I'm trying to make a raid 10 array with mdadm, but I want to change the order [05:48] jacob_, there isn't a linux ver of shockwave, that's why. [05:48] My browser is always not link server [05:48] Hello! I am trying to compile a program which relies on Qt3, while I have Qt4, and it refuses to compile with that. It needs qtcore and qtgui at least. But I can't find version 3 of those in the repository. How do I install them? and would the conflict with version 4? [05:49] I'm using konqueror [05:49] blakkheim, whats more lighter than this? (im newbie so id want something friednly not purely terminal or something) [05:49] in the gnome [05:50] OptimaD: anything *buntu related is to be avoided if you want lightweight, unless you do a minimal commandline install. i would look into something like archlinux. [05:50] OptimaD: or debian or anything that lets you start from a commandline and only install what you want [05:50] OptimaD, isnt archlinux complicated though? and is a command line installer? [05:50] How do I optimize it?Please help me [05:50] OptimaD: it's not complicated at all, it is a commandline install, yes. [05:51] ok... i will look into it..... what WM shud i intsall on archlinux? [05:51] OptimaD: if you're more familiar with dpkg/aptitude then maybe just do an ubuntu minimal installation and only install a lightweight window manager instead of a full desktop environment [05:51] will my internet, etc all work just like it does now in ubuntu [05:52] OptimaD: i like awesome/openbox, but dwm/fluxbox are also good. check out your options, there's a lot. [05:52] ive been using apt-get [05:52] lich: restate your question, I don't understand. Why are you using Konqueror? [05:52] OptimaD, you'll need to setup a lot of things yourself [05:52] Does anyone know what changing the LV properties of an lvm physical volume does? (Specifically, what does the "striped" option do?) === john is now known as Guest60865 [05:52] prob wont work out then.... since i dont know how to setup that stuff... [05:52] question - when I hot plug a SATA CD drive to my system while it's powered on, how do I get the system to recogize it (i.e. put it in /dev/) without rebooting the system? [05:52] OptimaD, then don't try arch [05:52] OptimaD: it's worth the time to learn. [05:53] blakkheim, what if i just uninstall WM in ubuntu and install fluxbox or openbox? [05:53] EastDallas:Because firefox is too slow, in my operating system [05:53] lich: are you saying Konqueror does not open when you click a link? [05:53] kostkon, any recommendations other than archlinux then? something lighter that wud be a bit faster on this p2 700mhz/512 [05:54] OptimaD: you could do that, but you'd need to remove a lot of stuff to make it light. i'd recommend doing a minimal iso install of ubuntu. [05:54] can no one answer my qeustions? [05:54] *question? [05:54] OptimaD: netbsd? plan9? [05:54] OptimaD, eh, puppy linux. or try flux or openbox in ubutnu. or as blakkheim suggested, a minimal ubuntu [05:55] EastDallas:yes.Always [05:55] this one describes a very efficient operating system: http://valerieaurora.org/synthesis/SynthesisOS/ [05:56] Guest60865: as more people have come into the room might I request you ask the question again? [05:56] ok thx guys will try those [05:56] ok here goes [05:56] question - when I hot plug a SATA CD drive to my system while it's powered on, how do I get the system to recogize it (i.e. put it in /dev/) without rebooting the system? [05:56] OptimaD: (my two last suggestions, plan9 and synthesis, were jokes) [05:57] lich: System>Preferences>Preferred Applications. BTW...try Chromium is FF is too slow. https://launchpad.net/chromium-browser [05:57] why.. whats plan 9 lol [05:57] so shud i try puppy linux? is it like ubuntu but less? what WM does it use? [05:58] im new to irssi, how to hide the joins and quits? [05:58] OptimaD: just do a minimal iso installation of ubuntu and try a few lightweight window managers. [05:58] lich: If Konqueror is not listed, you'll have to choose custom and enter konqueror [05:58] zoug: /ignore #channel JOINS PARTS QUITS [05:58] blakkheim, i never saw minimal installation option when in stlaling? [05:58] Guest60865: try searching for it with fdisk -l then mount it...using the propper commands.. sudo mount /dev/whatever /mount/point [05:58] blakkheim: thanks [05:58] OptimaD: plan9 is an experimental operating system made by bell labs, with lots of neat concepts. synthesis is an even more experimental operating system, which is built aroud the concept of self-modifying code. none of them have enough programs for them to be useful [05:59] OptimaD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:59] youre probably gonna need sudo for fdisk as well..I forgot to put that in Guest60865..sorry. [05:59] maybe ill try it in few yrs amaurea ;p [05:59] ok will try blakkheim thx [06:00] hmm [06:00] oklet me try [06:00] zoug: type !help at in any window for a list of irssi commands -- there is a command switch to do what you want -- something like VERBOSE() [06:00] lich: did that work? [06:00] !help [06:00] 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. :-) [06:00] dumducky: do you mean /help ? :) [06:00] i'm installing another sata disk on this machine. I got a good tutorial here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [06:01] dumducky: hmm [06:01] EastDallas:It always prompts me: can not connect to the server... [06:01] lich: do other browsers work? [06:01] I'll try my question again: How do I install qtcore3 when I already have version 4 installed? [06:01] is it alright if my data in /dev/sdb be destroyed/deleted? [06:01] l3ns: why are you asking us that? [06:02] l3ns: have you backed up your system? [06:02] blakkheim, because that's the warning window i got right now... [06:02] fdisk -l just brings up my hard drive [06:02] (perferably to a medium thats not on that drive) [06:02] Guest60865: and thats what I need for the mount point ;) [06:02] and when I power on the SATA drive in ubuntu, it doesn't get put in /dev/ or /mnt/ or anywhere [06:02] robbmunson, no not yet, is it necessary even if i wouldjust want to installing a new hd?

O.o [06:03] soemthing that ubuntu does while booting up [06:03] You guys know of a really good desktop recording program with high quality? I have gtk RECORDMYDESKTOP but it glitches at the top of the screen sometimes in the videos [06:03] EastDallas:yes ,other can do [06:03] and it's annoying. Anyone suggest something better? [06:03] /help doesnt do anything :( [06:04] l3ns: well, if the drives blank to begin with then go for whatever you intend, youre obviously not gonna do damage to contents ;) [06:04] ? [06:04] zoug: what do you need? [06:05] robbmunson, hm okay, i thought it would damage to my other files on the other hd.... [06:05] blakkheim: i wanted basic irc commands on irssi through /help [06:05] zoug, no spaces in front. /help [06:05] lich: Honestly, if Konqueror was way better or something I would say fix it, but why not just try Opera or Chromium if Firefox is too slow instead of using a KDE app? [06:05] EastDallas:konqueror always timeout [06:05] zoug: the help appears in the status window [06:05] l3ns: well, it cant touch 2 drives contents at once as far as I know.

It supports chinese input and is very fast. https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [06:11] ok, thanks! :D [06:11] EastDallas:I use Chromium, the Chinese characters is difficult to adjust [06:11] it says no process found [06:11] but it left the gray square in my upper right tray [06:11] and it wont go away. [06:13] nvm fixed it [06:13] lich: Since konqueror is KDE app and other browsers work, you'll probably need to take this over to #kubuntu. [06:13] why is istanbul doing that? [06:13] any ideas? [06:13] !kubuntu | lich [06:13] lich: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [06:14] lich: you may also want to try seamonkey? [06:14] hi [06:14] i'm using the Dust theme [06:14] and for whatever reason [06:14] EastDallas:no [06:14] Applications, Places, and System are bolt [06:14] i don't want that [06:14] bolt = bold [06:15] EastDallas:I do not know what that is [06:15] lich: seamonkey is another web browser [06:15] How do I list every package that could provide a given file? I need moc for qt4, but I only have moc from qt3 [06:16] jacob_, you could try gnome-color-chooser [06:16] jacob_, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/gnome-color-chooser [06:17] EastDallas：ok，I will try seamonkey, Thanks for your advice [06:17] jacob_, another option would be to edit the theme or use gconf or something like that [06:18] Ok, I solved it by removing the qt3-dev-tools [06:18] amaurea: try automoc [06:19] zoug: what is that? [06:19] amaurea: This package contains the automoc4 binary which is used to run moc on the right [06:19] binaries in a Qt 4 or KDE 4 application. [06:19] jacob_, right click desktop, select change desktop background, fonts tab, applications font [06:20] zoug: that sounds promising. thanks :) [06:20] Ok I need to reinstall X from the 9.10 cd when running ( sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ) how do I add my cdrom to the source.list? [06:21] when i compiled my c file i got output file as a.out. however it can be executed only thru terminal but not thru double click. how can i do that? chmod?? [06:21] steven_Office: I believe its as easy as sudo apt-cdrom add - [06:21] k [06:22] steven_Office: as long as you have it in the drive when you do the command and update your sources it should always work :) [06:22] papul, e.g. chmod 755 a.out [06:22] burzki, i chaged all th efonts to not bold === ushaft__ is now known as bibekp [06:22] but..... still bold [06:22] kostkon, 755 for making it executable?? [06:22] papul, yeap [06:22] where can i find the list of all the numbers? [06:22] jacob_, try scaling them down, say from 12 to 10, or whatever [06:23] kostkon, ok thanks :) [06:23] papul, np [06:23] they are all 10 already [06:23] jacob_, or select a different font [06:23] try 9 [06:23] which font would affect it [06:23] window title font? [06:24] i have mine on loam book 10 in dust, pretty nice [06:24] EastDallas：I have not used kde [06:24] applications [06:24] well [06:24] I changed it [06:24] *loma [06:24] the font IS smaller [06:24] but still bold [06:25] jacob_, some fonts only have bold, or look bold in the panel. try one with a finer line detail til you find one you like [06:25] lich: Konqueror is a KDE application. It uses KDE libraries. And all the browsers that run natively in gnome are working, so the people at #kubuntu would probably be of more help.

[07:20] perhaps I need to save it on somewhere? [07:21] amaurea, try it. you may get deps errors, on the other hand, you may not. if it's just one package it's ok. but don;t try to install many packages from lucid. you may mess up your system a little.

[07:22] kostkon: or do I download a single .deb file and install it, or what? [07:22] amaurea, better download the deb. is it a ppa? [07:22] amaurea, don't add the repo [07:23] kostkon: what is a ppa? I just found the package listed on packages.ubuntu.com [07:23] personal package archive [07:23] amaurea, ok. get it from there.

[07:30] sup guise [07:30] [1]Rob, try lspci -v go down to find the network controller [07:30] <[1]Rob> its a linksys wmp54gs [07:30] airtonix: yeah, I am [07:30] exodus_ms, working on it [07:30] i have a metacity theme that is installing through the Appearance preference window but aren't showing up there after installation; is there a way to debug [07:31] <[1]Rob> apologies, for some reason i thought you meant the motherboard>.< [07:31] burzki} cool, apologies [07:31] gaelfx1, inresolved : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5873/ [07:31] gaelfx1, unresolved* [07:31] rgov: you sure its an actual 'theme' or is it just a specific PART of a theme. Check the 'Customize' button and look at all the different parts you can use. It may be in there [07:31] exodus_ms, no apologies, stay tuned [07:32] * exodus_ms is staying tuned [07:32] ah the exact error is "could not update ICEauthority file /home/cosh/ .ICE authority [07:32] gaelfx1, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/446900 [07:32] rgov: i find most things that claim to be themes are just one part (Controls, window border, icon set, and so on) [07:32] [1]Rob: that is you r router i guess, we need to know your wireless adapter listed in lspci [07:33] zoug, true about 9.10, but the bc43 has been issue from .. well, forever. and still in lucid. damn money changers [07:33] hmm did not work still.. [07:33] got it, thanks [07:33] that's strange, xchat should work [07:33] Dr_Willis: well, that way i can get it to look remotely correct on the 'custom' preview icon, but it does not render the titlebar remotely correct [07:34] [1]Rob, ? still with us? [07:34] panlin, what is the path for xchat, i will try put it in the command box instead... [07:34] burzki: think he is looking in lspci [07:34] rgov: not suire what you mean. You could customize the them then do the 'save as...' and i think it will make a proper preview for the 'theme' tab. [07:35] rgov: im confused by your use of the term 'remotely' [07:35] <[1]Rob> yes sorry, Network controller:broadcom Corporation BCM4318... i believe thats what im looking for [07:35] /usr/bin/xchat [07:35] burzki: lol, another 4318 [07:35] [1]Rob, zoug great. just did that one [07:35] l3ns, it's /usr/bin/xchat [07:36] lol indeed [07:36] <[1]Rob> lol theouch lol thats not good :D [07:36] <[1]Rob> ouch* [07:36] no, its fine. we gotcha [07:37] [1]Rob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [07:37] can someone recommend a good dark, techno theme? the more garish the better [07:37] :) [07:37] setting up a VM for aspiring hackers [07:37] panlin, okay thanks.. but yeh "xchat" should work. I can see in the xchat properties launcher, the command written is "xchat" [07:37] garish and dark? isn't that a bit of a paradox? [07:37] l3ns, that's great :) [07:37] gaelfx1: possibly [07:37] rgov: check out the gnome-art and gnome-artng programs they let you easially get themes from the various gnome theme archive sites [07:37] <[1]Rob> got that, excuse me a sec and thanks [07:37] Hi! May I ask who uses a usb wireless connection here? It is something like huawei, and my crunchbang linux 9.04 isn't working with it. I'm currently using a wired connection. [07:38] hows it guys just a quick question how do u stop the screen going blank while your watching videos in vlc [07:38] panlin, i mean no not yet it did not work, it should have worked >.< [07:38] [1]Rob, have you tried enabling the hardware drivers? [07:38] rgov: like the good doctor said, gnome-art has a pretty wide range of stuff, definitely worth checking out [07:38] ....... [07:38] i will try the path instead, brb... [07:38] will do, thanks [07:38] skitzo, turn of the screensaver [07:38] are you sure you put it correctly in sessions? [07:38] skitzo, turn off* [07:38] adjust your screensaver on power management [07:39] it is normally on preferences [07:39] airtonix, cheers [07:39] rgov: try gnome-look.org as well [07:40] [1]Rob, your chip IS supported, so you can skip down the help page to - Installing Drivers for the bcm43xx Cards [07:40] [1]Rob, forget the ndiswrapper [07:40] <[1]Rob> ok. [07:41] rgov, http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/linuxutil/gnome/ [07:42] Hi, I have a problem. Looks like some updates won't download somehow... I get the following error message in 9.10: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic_2.6.31-16.52_i386.deb [07:42] 404 Not Found [07:42] Any help? [07:42] StepNjump: may be your internet just died [07:42] hm... i think i once had that too. iirc aptitude update fixed it [07:42] StepNjump: you should try changing your software sources [07:42] No, cuz I'm on the internet now [07:43] I guess you're using a dlink router.... [07:43] How do I do that gaelfxl? [07:43] StepNjump: hi the reload button in synaptic [07:43] please [07:43] or maybe you're using an old repo [07:43] StepNjump: I get those same errors all the time on newer updates from rootguide because apparently, they are fast with the lists but not so fast with syncing [07:43] panlin, it worked :) i used "xchat" and clicked the Remember Currently Running Applications under the Session Options tab :) [07:43] in either case, has something to do with you having an old database that lists packages that aren't there anymore [07:43] StepNjump: *Hit [07:43] that's great ::)) [07:43] StepNjump: under System->Administration->Software Sources [07:43] i'm testing a streaming radio of a red5 server... does anyone want to listen to some beatles to help me with it? http://snowberry.tomatoe.webqualityhost.net:5080/flowplayer2/moss/cortesradio.html [07:44] panlin, thanks for the help :) [07:44] Q: where do i need to get in line to verbally abuse the designer of UNR? [07:44] amee2k__: behind me probably [07:44] l3ns, i'am just a very beginner of ubuntu :) [07:44] and why would you do that? [07:44] I can't even get it to start up in live mode on my MSI Wind U120 [07:45] [1]Rob, you'll also want to remover ndiswrapper in synaptic. [07:45] yesterday i decided to reinstall my laptop since the 9.10 upgrade broke so much stuff that it made the system virtually unusable [07:45] hmmm... i saw some people connect.. no luck listening? [07:45] then it wont work there, not without workarounds [07:45] but since my aging D610 is geting more like a netbook performance-wise i decided to try UNR on it [07:45] l3ns, but when i want to add a application, there is no need to click the Remember Currently Running Applications under the Session Options tab [07:45] !who [07:45] 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 :) [07:45] !u [07:45] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [07:45] jaceleon: crunchbang's irc channel is #crunchbang on oftc network fwiw. [07:46] oh ok gaelfxl thanks [07:46] panlin, what version of ubuntu you are currently using? [07:46] StepNjump: no problem, if that doesn't work, then report back here ;) [07:46] nomad77: so I would type "/connect irc.crunchbang.com" [07:46] ? [07:46] l3ns, I just use ubuntu 9.10, and her is perfect [07:46] ;) === john is now known as Guest60832 [07:47] but now my list of not-likes is getting longer and longer. i manged to kill the ret---- "media center" style menu, but i still don't have wlan, and graphics are crippled sometimes [07:47] e.g. when i hover a tray icon, the tooltip is just a box of white noise [07:47] jaceleon: or check the crunchbang web site to see what server they reccomend. or check your irc clients server listing and see if theres a list of 'oftc' servers [07:47] jaceleon: try /connect irc.oftc.net then /join #crunchbang [07:47] amee2k__, have you tried ndiswrapper? [07:48] jaceleon: it used to work on previous ubuntus and even debian with the stock b34 drivers [07:48] panlin, ah. must be some 8.04 issues. ~_~ [07:48] l3ns, but I use slackware before [07:49] [1]Rob, ? any luck [07:49] l3ns, ubuntu 8.04 is a LTS version, should't have this problem [07:49] suspend to ram is working now thanks to the reinstall. adjusting display brighness (which used to work on ubuntu too) doesn't however. [07:49] well, and my final question, can i expect any of the above to get better by reinstalling regular ubuntu? [07:50] gaelfxl: it seems to be working fine now! Thank you. I pointed to a server in Canada instead...! [07:50] amee2k__, have you posted this on ubuntu forums yet ? [07:51] nope. would it help? [07:51] gaelfxl: thank you! [07:51] panlin, i will try with pidgin now, w/out the remember thing... brb. [07:51] amee2k__, to the degree which you used i think it would be better so you just paste url here [07:51] it cant hurt to file a bug report. [07:52] l3ns, :) [07:52] airtonix: sorry, irc only supports 512 characters minus overhead per message :P [07:52] amee2k__, yes this is my point [07:53] Dr_Willis: hm... no offense, but does someone actually read them? [07:54] amee2k__: bug reports? yes. theres a group of people/procedures for how they get handled. [07:54] amee2k__: of course it pays to search the reports first to be sure you are not re-re-rereporting somtjhing thats allready been reported [07:54] panlin, pidgin worked!.. [07:54] because i don't have the expertise to provide a patch along with the rant, and i've never ever gotten a reply to a bug report of the form "X doesn't work for me. please fix it. thank you" [07:55] nice :-) [07:55] much less seen the bugs fixed [07:55] amee2k__, you have a b43 wifi? [07:56] yeah, "Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Rev. 03" [07:56] amee2k__: if youa re going to just rant.. dont bother. [07:56] l3ns, have you got a bluetooth on your computer? [07:56] Dr_Willis: what other than stating that something doesn't work is there to a bug report, if i can't provide a fix myself? [07:56] can someone point me to the right direction of setting up a fresh install of ubuntu-server 9.10 with 2 150gb sata drive as either hardware raid (integrated on mobo through bios) or software raid from the partition manager in a fresh install? [07:57] amee2k__: read through some of the other bug reports on hwo things get worked out. Theres common logs/debugging output that are often requested. [07:57] amee2k__, the bcm4306 is supported as legacy. i can help you set that up again. broadcom chips are notorious for their proprietary drivers [07:57] amee2k__: I no longer have a B43 based machine to even check the status of those drivers. So i cant help much in this area. [07:57] I keep getting stopped at the grub install part [07:58] my guess is that alot of these issues are not really bugs, but driver issues from hardware mnfctrs [07:58] burzki: you got it 100% - if the wireless makers worked with linux more. there would be less issues. [07:58] panlin, nop, not on this machine. why? [07:58] why does vlc player have a little penguin wearing a santa hat for its icon right now? [07:58] Hi, I did a lot of mistakes on eclipse installation. 1. Installed eclipse from synaptic. 2. installed new sw from (help->install new sw ). 3. discovered the repo yogarine (this should solve all) installed new php dev options. So... How can I uninstall all and repeat ? Give advices please, thank you [07:58] Of course the wireless drivers are slowly making progress. and there are often regressions in the new drivers [07:58] anyone else seeing that? i surely didnt swap the icon intentionally [07:59] I've got a machine with about 128K RAM and 20G disk. Any suggestions for how it could be used in a small office that uses a windows network [07:59] xim_: becuase vlc devs have a sence of humor [07:59] Dr_Willis: hm... okay. i'll try and make some time to take a closer look during christmas holidays [07:59] and any new update usually means going through all the steps over again [07:59] anyone using chromium ? could you please test this page - http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/html/index-java.html [07:59] (just for the protocol, i need the laptop functional on monday so i can't take all year long to fix it) [07:59] quietone: i hope you mean 128 MB of ram at least [07:59] amee2k__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:00] l3ns, if you got a bluetooth, you can try blueproximity, its's cool and useful, it can lock you computer like mercedes-benz car :) [08:00] quietone: 128k would barely run dos so get a ram upgrade for it. then maybe damn small linux ir so [08:00] Billiard. Yes you are right 128MB and I installed from the alternative but haven't done anything since [08:00] quietone: what do you want to do with the machine? [08:00] SandGorgon: works in google chrome here, and firefox,. testing chromium browser now [08:01] quietone: will it have a gui, or just cli [08:01] Dr_Willis, so you see that on your computer also? [08:01] 128 mb should support Puppy linux - especially the NOP flavor with XFCE [08:01] burzki: right. i think i killed the web browser when i killed all the "retail environment" sh--. also, i think i found something too. brb need to reboot [08:01] panlin, i have a blue tooth dangle i could try it out. :) [08:01] xim_, it's an easter egg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media) [08:01] Billiard: I just want it to be useful. Maybe people come into office and print files from it. For that GUI would be better [08:02] xim_: ive seen it in the past. :) [08:02] xim_: ive seen other apps/games do similer things also === jacob_ is now known as Zeppelin [08:02] kostkon, easter eggs usually require the user to do something unusual to discover [08:02] quietone: could try xfce rather than gnome, idk what you are really asking about suggests for what? [08:02] Dr_Willis, everything fine in chromium ? [08:02] <[1]Rob> burzki, that worked wonderfully, thank you very much! Thanks to you too Zoug! lol now i just have to figure out the usb wireless for this pc, but that is another day. thanks again! [08:02] its TRIPPING ME OUTTTTT [08:02] i want to remove ndiswrapper from my system. Is it safe to use purge remove or could some of the configs be used by other apps? [08:02] ZOMG [08:02] SandGorgon: that site looks fine in all 4 browsers i am using. Opera, Firefox, CHromium, Google chrome. whats the exazct issue you are having? [08:03] xim_, in most cases yes, you're right [08:03] Dr_Willis: hm... point taken. i still think that ubuntu could really use a more informal way to report problems in order to live up to that "for human beings" line [08:03] Dr_Willis, after a few (10 secs) it gives an "aw snap" error [08:03] [1]Rob, [08:03] amee2k__: just more 'buzzwords and marketing terms' that mean very little. [08:03] can someone point me to the right direction of setting up a fresh install of ubuntu-server 9.10 with 2 150gb sata drive as either hardware raid (integrated on mobo through bios) or software raid from the partition manager in a fresh install? I can't get Grub2 to install. any help would be great :) [08:03] Billard: I guess just how it could be used in an office environment. [08:04] [1]Rob, good to hear. be sure to remove ndiswrapper from synaptic. it could cause a conflict w/ fwcutter [08:04] Billard: xfce? [08:04] Dr_Willis: i know its just marketing BS. but its what people read. i mean, thats what ads are for. so no wonder that people like me then have certain expectations [08:04] <[1]Rob> oh thanks for that too [08:04] SandGorgon: couild be a version differeance. ive no issues here at all. I do notice that google/chromouim/opera look almost identical.. firefox looks the most different of the 4. [08:04] quietone: 128MB of ram isnt going to be very useful in an office environment, upgrade the ram, ram is so cheap these days [08:05] amee2k__: ive noticed that people tend to have too many 'expectations' [08:05] [1]Rob, great. good luck. well done [08:05] !xfce | quietone [08:05] quietone: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [08:05] to clarify, "apt-get --purge remove ndiswrapper" [08:05] Dr_Willis: yeah, thats what customers do usually ;) [08:05] SandGorgon: using chromium -> 4.0.252.0 (Ubuntu build 32323) right now. [08:06] StepNjump: no problem man, sorry didn't see any messages til now, was busy [08:06] amee2k__: and then when they get somthing for 'free' they seem to have even worse expectataions.. vs paying $200 for an OS and being ok with issues... (illogical i guess) [08:06] when i try and do a update or a apt-get install. It Reading Database gets to 50% then halts. [08:06] Billard: I will consider that. I'd have to convince the volunteer org to spend some money on it. Probably a no go as there is no local support for linux machines. [08:06] quick question: I'm using gftp and when I'm transfering files its renaming the file with the entire path name. what am I doing wrong? [08:07] Dr_Willis, i have the 4.0.272.0 (34708) Ubuntu version [08:07] i have tried a apt-get clean all and update and it still freezes/halts on 50% on the Reading Database [08:07] Dr_Willis: well, i'm using the free way because i'm not okay with having to pay for being a beta tester. and having product support ending when the product finally reaches any state of maturity === adante_ is now known as adante [08:08] hmm, I just finished mounting my second hard drive, I checked on the properties and see that there are 23.5 GB used already, but it's a newly bought hd and not supposed to have files inside. there are no files/hidden files I can see on that disk too. what could be the content of the 23.5 gb used? [08:08] l3ns: how big is the drive? [08:08] thanks burzki, i got the card to at least show me the networks. still having trouble connecting though [08:08] amee2k__: i find the term 'support' to be another buzzword these days also. :) im my own support - Then again 'support' for me being a factory worker/skilled tradesman/repairman means MUCH different things then what it means for a 'home pc user' [08:08] Billiard, 500gb [08:08] amee2k__, maybe the "for humans" line means its not all automated for morons and it takes a human to run commandline to get it working .. ;-) [08:09] l3ns: what filesystem? 5% of ext2/3/4 is reserved by defauilt. [08:09] l3ns: 5% is reserved by default i believe [08:09] good [08:09] l3ns: tuneable with the 'tune2fs' command. [08:09] l3ns: you can tweak that when you make the filesystem [08:09] does anyone have any idea as to how to fix this or point me to a website that might. I have looked.... [08:09] ahhh i used ext3 for it. :) good to know it's done by default :) [08:09] thanks guys :) [08:10] burzki: lets assume i haven't touched the other operating system from redmond since like the w2k era. i'm sure not a pro, but i think i have at least the basic skills. doesn't mean i like to have to fix everything first [08:10] Dr_Willis, Billiard is 5% the minimum? [08:11] ok, i am really having issues with my networking configuration, anyone able to help me? [08:11] can I trim it down to just say 1gb?.. [08:11] l3ns: 0% would be the Minimum [08:12] amee2k__, ditto. me either. but it not linx. its coporate monay makers of hardware devices not letting the info out so we can plug it all in natively. its a systemic difficulty [08:12] l3ns : try tune2fs /dev/whatever -m new% [08:12] l3ns: deopending on what the drive is used for you can lower it.. of course its not really an issue till you get the drive close to full [08:12] Dr_Willis, if I do that would there be any negative effects on ym machine? [08:12] Dr_Willis: yeah, you're probably right there. in above context "support" meant something like not having the mature product replaced by the next buggy thing right away [08:12] i have a feeling it has something to do with /usr/bin/dpkg which is causing the problem [08:12] kitty_, thanks! I will take not of that command :) [08:13] note* [08:13] amee2k__: next buggy thing = 'latest eyecandy/new gimnicky item' that a product must have or else people will call it 'old garbage' :) [08:13] burzki: well, software has issues too. especially since i seem to have a rather unusual idea of what constitutes usability [08:13] amee2k__: and 9.10 is very much a 'lets try the latest stuff to get the bugs worked out so they are not in the next LTS release' sort of product [08:13] i suppose we all do .. [08:14] Im amazed that all these wireless cards work as well as they do. [08:14] I need some flash help, guys. Anyone available? [08:14] [08:14] Dr_Willis, i agree about 9.10 ive skipped it altogether. still working on 8.04 and playing in the alpha. maybe ot [08:15] (pertains to ubuntu obviously) [08:15] this seasons cutting edge innovation becomes next seasons worthless feature. :) [08:16] amee2k__: I recall UNR have Desktop Switcher feature but that was Jaunty. I'm not sure about Karmic. [08:16] i just like a working machine [08:16] Anyone? [08:16] *cough* *compiz cube* *cough* [08:16] which is the limewire equivalent client for ubuntu? [08:16] !limewire | chipgeri [08:16] chipgeri: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. [08:16] !limewire | chipgeri [08:16] chipgeri: or try frostwire. :) [08:16] hello [08:16] mobi-sheep: it has a strange full-screen "media center" style menu that imo is really stupid on a system designed for small screen [08:16] my flat screen looks well enough [08:16] Dr_Willis, I see a lot of driver *regressions* even w.r.t ubuntu 6.06 - for e.g bug435244 [08:17] SandGorgon: they have been improveing the over all wireless/networking 'stack' in the kernels from what ive read. So a lot of drivers had to get 'updated' [08:17] kitty_, say more about network issues? [08:17] I ve installed ubuntu and have a problem with grub, when I use the commande update-grub he ive me the following error : error: cannot open `/dev/sdb' while attempting to get disk size [08:17] how can I fix this probleme [08:18] mrabti: seen that befor. It was not really a problem. since grub updated/installed anyway [08:18] Dr_Willis, i'd like that to be true but (for e.g. ) Davicom Ethernet drivers have not been working since Hardy .. and open bugs have not been addressed [08:18] Hi. When I boot the monitor start on max bright and the sound on minimum. How can I make the system start with other settings? (max sound and minimum brightness) [08:18] amee2k__: I have netbook and I'm using UNR system. It does not bother me but sometimes I'd like to avoid maximized windows and such. Will try LXDE or minimal gnome installation eventually. [08:18] kitty_, i tried this command: ttune2fs /dev/sdb1 -m 0% and returns a bad reserved block ratio... [08:18] l3ns: dont use a % [08:18] l3ns: try taking out the % symbol [08:19] and you may want to set it to 1% :) [08:19] just in case it does fill up and needs fscked. [08:19] Okay it worked :) but I can still see 198.0MB used ^^ [08:20] is it possible that gpu overheating can freze the computer? [08:20] OldFarter: its possible yes. [08:20] hm... where can i download ISOs for releases other than 9.10 and 8.4? [08:20] amee2k__: release.ubuntu.com has all of the current ones [08:21] amee2k__: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ [08:21] hello guys. I am running a dual boot ubuntu/wind, how can i reinstall wind partition without losing the grub or any other problems?

[08:22] Flannel,mobi-sheep,thanks. where the hell do you guys know all that from? ;) [08:22] pingun8: You can't. Windows like to be in charge of everything and overwrite MBR. Silly, I know. :( [08:22] pingun8: afaik you cant install windows without it overwritting grub with its bootloader [08:22] hi [08:22] i'm going to install ubuntu on a box to use as a server. it has room for 4 hard drives, I have 3 2tB hard drives for storage (using this box for network backups partly) and 1 640gB (much faster) hard drive for os/apps/more data storage. would a RAID 5 make sense for the 3 2tB hard drives? or is there a better option? [08:22] amee2k__: You pick it up as you go along [08:22] hi all [08:22] hi all [08:22] hehe [08:22] Oasa: Hi. :o [08:22] Dr_willis, single hdd, and I am sure there must be a way to just format the windows partition only, no?

(max sound and minimum brightness) [08:23] kazagistar: try downloading AWN 0.4 beta, you can set it to vertical and it's awesome. [08:23] pingun8: You could use dd to 'backup' your mbr then restore it from a live cd.. but thats just 1 step away from reinstalling grub with update-grub anyway [08:23] Oasa: Tell us your problems and if we know, we'll answer it for you. [08:23] pingun8: you could backup the mbr then restore it after installing windows, but it might be easier to just fix grub with a live cd afterward [08:23] hello i wud liek to knw hw to use pidgin to get [08:23] windows live working [08:24] How to install the non-free flash plugin? [08:24] Oasa: what are you having troubles with? [08:24] whats the command? [08:24] fcuk112: I read that AWN recently got vertical working (finally) but I couldn't see it in the repository version... thanks! [08:24] Oasa: did you add your account? [08:24] yeah i did [08:24] plustax: iirc theres a package, flashplugin-installer that you need to install [08:25] plustax: i386 or amd64?

It Reading Database gets to 50% then halts. it does not even get to how many files or dir are currently installed before it freezes. I think it might be hanging on something that is not allowing it to finish [08:25] Billiard what else? [08:25] plustax: at least for me, it requires periodic reinstallation because it likes to break itself every couple days [08:25] Billiard: helo me [08:25] pingun8: you need to chroot into your installation and update grub afaik [08:25] sum1 pls help me [08:26] Oasa: i am helping you and other people please wait more than 30 seconds for a response [08:26] what's "afaik"?

[08:27] i wonder if there is a way to purge the database or something so that it won't freeze when i try to update or install something [08:27] Oasa: which version ubuntu are you using? [08:27] Dr_Willis, sorry [08:28] pingun8: time to check some of the wiki/grub pages. boot live, chroot in properly, run update-grub [08:28] Dr_Willis, i found the "grub2".... [08:28] thats teh basics for 9.04 and 9.10 :) and 8.xx [08:28] 8.04 [08:28] !grub2 [08:28] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:28] because it (Reading database ... 50% then just stops.....

[08:29] TerminalError: oops its /var/cache/apt :) [08:30] Oasa: im talking about your ubuntu release [08:30] ah ok was like there is no /var/apt lol [08:30] anyone anybit familiar with software routers? [08:30] when in doubt - nest things more [08:30] TerminalError: backup anything you twiddlw with in there.. just remioving things can cause issues.. I recall theres one directory that if it dosxent exist.. can cause issues.. [08:31] yea i was backing it up now [08:31] thanks for the tip [08:31] some days i think wee need some sort of 'check my system for issues/fix them' wizard :) [08:31] Dr_Willis, thank you doctor. [08:32] but that may break more things then it fixed. [08:32] /quit [08:32] can anyone help me understand FTP a little better? [08:33] pdg1: in what way? [08:33] ssh/scp has basically replaced ftp for my needs. [08:33] what filesystem would be appropriate for a large RAID 5? [08:33] 6tB [08:34] well, for large files over fast connections i still prefer ftp. i found scp performance to be inferior like 1:10 [08:34] Fenix-Dark: i think ext3/4 would be fine [08:34] How can I make my monitor to start less bright on boot? I am on Karmic. [08:34] Fenix-Dark: rule of thumb is use ext3 unless you know you need something else [08:34] well. I'm trying to update the dash on my modded xbox (something i haven't done in a long time) and when I upload the files it renames the entire file to the full path [08:34] why would my access point be forwarding network traffic to my wireless nic instead of my wired one [08:34] anyone have any ideas? [08:34] i can upgrade to karmic kola only 1 by 1 rite [08:35] frm 8.04 to 8.10 and den [08:35] so on [08:35] amee2k__, I was thinking of ext3 [08:35] hello, I have external USB harddrives that are unmountes and spin down after a while( as they should), but then spin up again after another while ... how can I figure out what's causing the spinup? [08:35] it will take lof of time [08:35] Oasa: yep. one of the reasons you may want to do a clean install instead [08:35] Dr_Willis, when you need to move to another commputer, and install a new distribution, is there a way to, like, backup the list of everything installed on your system? i know about synaptic pakcage list, but I would assume that is not the perfect way to get all the same packages if you go from, i.e .04->.10 [08:35] idats y am waiting till april 2010 for d next lts version any othe way? [08:35] !clone | pingun8 [08:35] pingun8: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:35] clean install... i hv to bak up n all [08:36] Oasa: Yep.. theres pros and cons.. [08:36] no oder way.. i mean if its a protocol prob.. cant i manually configure it? [08:36] ie. instead of arials.ttf in fonts folder on the E drive it looks like EFontsarials.ttf inside of the fonts folder on the E drive [08:36] Oasa: i always keep my /home on itw own hd. so i can clean install and not lose much of anything [08:36] but i dint [08:36] ders no other way? [08:36] Dr_Willis, is it safe to replicate "all the packages" in such was, if you installed a newer distribution? [08:36] Oasa: bnackup stuiff to a external hd or somtjhing.. [08:37] pingun8: i normally go through the list and trim out a lot of the things i know i dont need. [08:37] okay anthr doubt : i recently compiled and build chromium os.. but i cunt get the wifi work ... any idea? [08:37] pingun8: or i make my own list with the names of the things i DO know i will want.

[08:40] CQ, checking... [08:40] amee2k__, gftp is a gui ftp client/ [08:40] haha... the upload arrow [08:40] I'm running a dell 14z, which uses the b43xx drivers. Ubuntu seems to recognize the card, but network manager is unable to view any nearby wifi spots :( [08:40] okay lol [08:40] any help would be appreciated. [08:40] paulmops, lemme guess, you have a bcm43xx chip? [08:40] yes :( [08:40] faryshta: Turn off dim. I think that is what you were complaining about. Also, your keyboard should have FN + (Something) that you can press to adjust brightness. [08:40] hey guys was just wondering how i send/recieve webcam in emesene.. seems im missing something [08:40] ;-) [08:40] I [08:41] I [08:41] paulmops, no, you should be good [08:41] but is that something that happens with older FTP servers? or what could cause that? [08:41] pdg1: on an xbox... so the target system is win and your local host is linux? [08:41] ahh, is there an easy fix? [08:41] nowdays the theme doesnt change if I change in desktop - right click properites windows [08:41] yup [08:41] mobi-sheep, yes I adjust brightness with keyboard but is kind of tired do it each day. [08:41] i need to use a Software called GTK Theme [08:41] pdg1, is what on what on where ? [08:41] Why is that happening ? did I screw up my setting somwhere ? [08:41] well I think the FTP server is based on filezilla or something liek that [08:42] !enter | thevishy [08:42] thevishy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:42] i have a strong hunch its a confusion about path separators. only sniffing the traffic would reveal whether the ftp commands are correct [08:42] paulmops, do you know the exact chipset? [08:42] faryshta: Edit under "On AC Power" and "On Battery Power" to your likings -- In Power Management. Turn off dim. See if that works for you now. [08:42] mobi-sheep, what is dim? I can't find it. [08:42] pdg1: last time i used FZ's ftp server, they weren't exactly the most standard conforming one around [08:42] files I want to upload are on my buntu box. and I'm connecting to my xbox through dvd2xbox's FTP server [08:42] hello, how can I get rid of the annoying your disk is gonna fail dialog? [08:43] Burzki won kenobi, you are my only hope (or something like that). [08:43] this is fantastic news :P [08:43] paulmops, lol. you already knew that much .. [08:43] djdarkman: It is not annoying. It is a warning that your disk is going to fail. (You'll lose all data and whatnot if you continue to ignore it). [08:43] 4312 [08:43] good [08:44] mobi-sheep: it's brand new(the harddrive) [08:44] mobi-sheep, funny, it was off. [08:44] mobi-sheep, what else could it be?

[08:45] hi folks.. one small quick question.. iam new to ubuntu and want to contribute to the ubuntu dev .. would like ot know. .. if there is any way that i can contribute. One of the way is doing bug fixing. Any other ways are there ? [08:45] mobi-sheep, I am on XFCE and there is always residual configurations from gnome, I will try to look there. [08:45] paulmops, 9.10? do you know the kernel version you have? do you have wired internet to this machine now? [08:46] djdarkman: Perhaps, install gnome-disk-utility and scan the HDD. HDD is the most instable part of the computer so you could have gotten a brand new bad hard drive. [08:46] stanley_robertso: have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community for example... a few more suggestions there [08:46] (just in case it helps, I've already confirmed the switch for my wireless card is indeed set to "ON") :D [08:46] thanks CQ [08:47] so im guessing that something is causing it to hang [08:47] is there anyway to purge it or something? [08:48] pdg1: trying can't hurt. maybe use a CLI client. the cd to e:\fonts first so you don't have any path separators on the upload command [08:48] morning, is someone able to help me fixing the scratchbox "Inconsistency detected by ld.so" error? [08:48] * doobie is going to ask a noobish firewall question... [08:48] paulmops, have you activated the hardware driver?

[08:49] !firewall | doobie [08:49] doobie: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

Otherwise you may have to search for the package online [08:59] fhenning09, freenas is the best there is [08:59] sun-java6-bin - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture dependent files) [08:59] for free [08:59] it goes through the list and reads them all and does the normal Reading package lists...

[09:00] thanks so much man [09:00] and whoever else helped [09:00] It is new, and I have run an update. [09:00] Awesome [09:00] but as for installing new things or going through a update manager to install something when it gets to the Reading Database it hangs [09:00] somebody please help me out with installing libmimic so i can send/receive webcam on emesene [09:01] so im guessing that it may be something to do with /usr/bin/dpkg [09:01] paulmops, have you checked to activate the driver? [09:01] thanks in advance [09:01] TerminalError: so somthing like --> sudo apt-get install bloboats [09:01] Reading package lists... Done [09:01] You never get to 'Done' - Thats... oddd..

[09:08] TerminalError: as a test try the aptitude command to install somthing perhaps? [09:08] :( [09:08] burzki, yes. It looks like b43-fwcutter is already installed (or downloaded?). The check box is green. [09:08] green means installed [09:09] that will be our plan B ;-| [09:09] Wheres the export to yafray button? [09:09] ok it's all downloaded now. [09:09] still the same thing [09:09] modaliases installed. [09:10] paulmops_, ok. go back to the hardware drivers and deselect the broadcom driver, then reactivate it [09:10] I am having problems with kmyfirewall or any other iptables frontend for that matter, anyone want to take a gander up my frock ? [09:10] system/admin/hrdwrdrvrs [09:10] http://pastebin.com/m2b02f12e [09:11] I authenticate, and receive this message: "SystemError: installArchives() failed" [09:11] it might be due to the fact that I renamed the wifi from eth1 to wlan0 (per some forum post about fixing this problem)? [09:12] paulmops_, hmm. could be [09:12] eth1 should be your cable [09:12] do I have to recompile the kernel for customization??? [09:13] TerminalError: doing some googling and reading at -> http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/48910 right now [09:14] is it possible to boot install DSL linux through USB key ? [09:14] ok, trying to locate the file again this may take 5 or so [09:14] kubanc: look at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [09:14] paulmops_, did the modaliases package install okay? [09:14] xeviox: What sort of customisation? [09:15] ok cool thanks [09:15] modaliases installed ok [09:15] <__z_z> hello. i want a theme of bluecurve. any packages in apt-get ? [09:15] good morning. back years ago, i use to use slackware, and with ati drivers was possible to use 2 independed monitor (desktops). how do I use that choice in ubuntu? I only can expand like in windows [09:16] CQ, it is possible, http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/usb.html [09:16] ! [09:16] paulmops_, there may also be a conflict with the fwcutter. maybe try uninstalling that in synaptic [09:16] ! [09:16] will do [09:16] CQ, sorry for not looking first on the internet .... lazy me [09:16] :D [09:16] kubanc: just use unetbootin, it'll create the stick for you with DSL on it [09:16] ! [09:16] __z_z: try the wonderland theme.engine, in the repos [09:17] paulmops_, and a reboot at some point might encourage things along .. [09:17] Unetbootin is insanely easy. I vouch for it as well [09:17] ok, I'll uninstall fwcutter and see what voodoo magic a reboot brings me === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw [09:17] !gambas [09:18] paulmops_, [09:18] !gambas2 [09:18] rebooting now [09:18] keep in mind, your card is only partially supported at this point, and iffy at that .. [09:19] <__z_z> ardchoille: thank you. i installed the wonderland. but i cannot find it . System-Preference-Appearance doesn't show any wonderland. why ? [09:19] paulmops_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [09:19] Dr_Willis: I need sleep.... thanks for all the help again. I will try to fix it tomorrow. [09:19] ah I see, bookmarking that page [09:19] brb while I reboot [09:19] paulmops_, use that page as reference if all else fails. you would want to install back the fwcutter and uninstall the bcm kernel bit [09:20] just that [09:20] burzki you available for shooting a log file at you? [09:20] ah, ok. Thanks for all your help so far burzki. [09:20] This is why I always keep a few asus wireless adepters around.. [09:21] __z_z: open your Appearances app [09:21] http://pastebin.com/m2b02f12e .117 -> remote machine, .67 wireless card in laptop, .1 -> software router + dhcp server ip, ppp0 -> inet dialup, .10 is wireless access point [09:21] Dr_Willis: I need sleep.... thanks for all the help again. I will try to fix it tomorrow.

I was sute it was there [09:24] Saves a lot of hassle and they don't cost much [09:24] __z_z: theres several blue** type metacity themes I recall. I must have a 4+ variants on bluecurve installed [09:24] __z_z: I have a full .deb package of the bluecurve theme including icons but it's 4.2 mb [09:24] where is the mysql data directory located? [09:24] l3ns: /var/lib/mysql [09:24] do you know a command i can use to just enable forwarding of packets instead of filtering everything, cause i'm really close to going postal on someone [09:24] wgrant, thanks! :) [09:25] <__z_z> Dr_Willis: can i find it by apt-get ? [09:25] <__z_z> ardchoille: where can i find it ? [09:25] every other day it seems that this script is either not working or works differently or needs me to restart my computer just to allow me to use the network at all and i'm really getting tired of it [09:25] not me. theres a bunch of command help stuff in the wiki and community docs [09:25] __z_z: No idea. I tend to use several different tools to get new themes. gnome-art and gnome-artng are 2 must play with toys. Check the package manager for other themes is a good idea also. [09:25] i've been looking they all point me to iptable frontends and script generators that all do the exact same bullshit [09:25] __z_z: I have it on my systems, don't know how to get it to you tho [09:26] <__z_z> Dr_Willis: o. thanks [09:26] <__z_z> ardchoille: thankyou. i will try to find it [09:26] I must have a directory of 100+ different gnome theme parts ive downloaded over the laste few months from different tools and places. [09:27] __z_z: hold on.. uploading it to my site [09:27] <__z_z> Dr_Willis: wow [09:27] <__z_z> ardchoille: thankyou. [09:27] i see my flash USB key under lsusb command, but it didn't mount it ... what should i do to mount it? [09:28] i dont use networks or firewalls or servers or any of the rest of it. maybe there's a better irc channel for that, this is basic ubuntu support? kitty_ === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw [09:28] __z_z: may I pm you? [09:28] is curl installed by default in Ubuntu? Is wget? And...how would I work this out without doing a fresh Ubuntu install in virtualbox? :) [09:29] know what, this is where kmyfirewall points me to go === hipp0 is now known as dunski [09:29] it says "hey goto the ubuntu irc channel on freenode" === Barbiegentooer_ is now known as Tina- [09:30] ameek2k__ i can tell you... this is going less than perfect. I'm using FTP now... and it is buggy as all. I can only upload a few files at a time or the whole program will commit suicide [09:30] <__z_z> ardchoille: yes of course [09:30] Would anyone know how to get the original Ubuntu bootsplash from after grub straight to the desktop back? [09:30] I have restored xsplash already [09:31] um... besides gdesklets for gnome, what are the other alternatives? [09:31] err, how do i go about installing karmic on a brand new Compaq Presario CQ61 ? ive tried from DVD and USB, just hits a black screen and sits (have left for 60 mins with no response) [09:32] anyone know the deb for kde? [09:32] hyperstream, Screenlets or google gadgets [09:32] Paddy_NI, huh? those are applications? [09:32] pmount je za žur :D [09:32] hyperstream, sec [09:33] Paddy_NI, thanks. all being developed? i don't want an orphan LoL, your preferences? [09:33] isn't there something like gnome-dock? [09:33] hyperstream, Just install screenlets from the software centre [09:33] hi, when i put an sd card into computer, it cant find it and i cant do anything with it. Would that be a driver problem or something else? [09:33] gnome-do [09:33] its sweet [09:33] gnome-do! yes, that's the stuff. [09:34] Paddy_NI, sorry, from what software centre? within windows? [09:34] thanks guys, i will look into them : D [09:34] theres also avant window navigator [09:34] which is more stable [09:34] but i don't like it as much [09:34] gnome-do has more features [09:34] gandhi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:34] hyperstream, err.. this is a ubuntu support channel.. not windows [09:34] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: depends. :) with some laptops the built in card readers are not supported. Plug it in. check dmesg output. see where its being acttatched to. then try to mouint it manually. [09:34] Paddy_NI, how do you want me to use the software centre when i cannot boot the thing? not even live cd? did you read my message or confuse me with someone else? [09:35] Orion777: the package 'kubuntu-desktop' will install the full kde kubuntu desktop packages [09:35] how 2 check dmesg o/p [09:35] hyperstream, woops [09:35] M1TE5H, dmesg in console [09:35] Paddy_NI, :P [09:35] Dr_Willis: what is a dmesg output? SOrry i am new to the game here [09:35] dunski, as above [09:35] Never had a problem with sdcard readers, it should be shown in your side panel assuming you have an sd card in it [09:36] hyperstream, maybe confused. .. any os on this new machine? [09:36] !video0 [09:36] hyperstream: thanks === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away [09:37] if i use unetbootin for usb bootable key, do i need to format the usb pen drive first, or not ? [09:37] hyperstream, hm, if it's not even booting, that's interesting -- there seem to be plenty of reports of people saying "it works on my CQ61", which suggests that your problem might be model-specific. Does booting the CD get you to the "install Ubuntu/Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" menu? [09:37] Make sure. Everything is deleted on your usb before using unetbootin and it should be fine === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw [09:38] hyperstream, any error msgs or text at all? confirmed md5sums on .iso and disc? [09:38] Fuzzy_Wuzzy: the command 'dmesg' shows all sorts of kernel/messages [09:38] burzki, yes windows 7 === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away [09:38] burzki, disk is fine, [09:38] hyperstream, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD has some troubleshooting options (you may already know all that stuff?) [09:39] aquarius, ahh, i took quite and that splash thing off the boot line, in hope to see where it hangs, but it does not show any text, etc its a black screen with no cursor or anything [09:39] dunski, you have google gadgets [09:40] MASA === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away [09:41] hi everyone! can any one tell what is the difference between the commands 'groupdel' and 'delgroup'?/ [09:41] dunski, gdesklets, screenlets, google gadgets, conky, super karamba, plasmoids, xulrunner with compiz widget layer rules. [09:41] hyperstream, ah, so it can get to the menu but then after that it just hangs once you choose an option, gotcha. [09:42] aquarius, like i can see the very first screen until, it seems it loads the vga driver(screen quickly turns off then into a black screen that sits idle) [09:42] * isolat3dsh33p is away: I'm busy [09:42] aquarius, any way i can see where its hanging ? [09:42] hey when i boot ubuntu live or try the installer my mouse doesnt work. i tried a ps2 and usb [09:42] hyperstream, I don't know much about that sort of problem, I'm afraid. There are vga=XXX options you can pass to boot, I know, but I don't know enough about them to advise. Someone else may be able to. Sorry! [09:42] !away | isolat3dsh33p [09:42] isolat3dsh33p: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [09:43] hyperstream, do you know the video card driver? [09:43] kontagious, laptop or desktop, which version of ubuntu ? [09:43] desktop with ubuntu 9.10 [09:43] after putting the three lines for the debugging guide in ubuntu for 9.10 and then I do the command sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list it stalls and doesn't got back to $. What should I do? [09:44] Is there a way to compiz-zoom and still be able to type text? [09:44] hyperstream, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootParameters may be helpful (I suspect you have already read that, though?) [09:44] chakrit, yes [09:44] airtonix: how? [09:44] burzki, let me boot up into 7 [09:44] hyperstream, there was some problem earlier today booting with nvidia issues [09:44] * isolat3dsh33p is back (gone 00:02:03) [09:44] wasn't paying much attention at the time, sadly [09:44] isolat3dsh33p: please, disable this messages :) [09:45] how about linuxmint 8? [09:45] airtonix: any ideas :S [09:45] BlouBlou: :) [09:45] chakrit, 1. dod you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? 2. i use enchanced desktop zoom [09:45] airtonix: yes, i have it but i use the other zoom.... so should I switch? [09:46] kontagious, 1. check your bios for any ps/2 / usb options that might be interferring 2. try using another usb port [09:46] okay thanks im going to try that [09:46] chakrit, i also use enhanced desktop zoom because it allows me to turn off anti aliasing (important for graphic design work) [09:46] its just weird that its both ps2 and usb [09:47] casdhcºpwdfg [09:47] hyperstream, have you been able to run the cd live? [09:47] is the command sudo mkfs.fat32 /dev/sda1 right to format usb pen with fat32 partition [09:47] jerry__, junk imho [09:47] burzki, Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, No thats my issue it just goes to a black screen when trying all options from Live CD / Live CD on USB as well [09:48] airtonix: Cool! Thanks. I thought the two zooms wasn't very different. [09:48] chakrit, magnifier is just superflous eye candy [09:48] kubanc I usually use sudo mkfs -t fat32 and let it pick the program, but that shoudl work, provided /dev/sda1 is the USB. If you're trying to get DSL on teh stick, why not just use unetbootin? It prepares it for you completely... [09:49] hyperstream, karmic, right?? [09:49] <__z_z> ardchoille: finally. i'm downloading your package now. ;) [09:50] airtonix: Indeed, it is haha [09:50] jerry__, not to mention ot [09:50] Burzki, definatly, 9.10 karmic, is there anyway to further debug where its hanging ? or change it to a generic VGA === linduxed|away is now known as linduxed [09:51] hyperstream- try ctrl-alt-f1 and look in /var/log/messages or syslog...

[09:54] I would like to test this: http://piratepad.net/DsvdMKP0EJ can someone join to type something? :) [09:54] what is the best video editor for ubuntu? ( professional product suit like adobe premier)? [09:54] burzki, damn, any chance of an example on how to do this ? [09:54] hyperstream, also, i dont know what you're really trying to do, but you could try the lucid alpha. i have it going on an older machine now just fine .. just an idea. the new kernel may support the hardware drivers better [09:55] burzki, whats wubi like ? [09:55] Chipgeri: there are a few showing promise [09:55] chipgeri: kdenlive and cinelerra usable [09:55] chipgeri: but one day you'll switch to blender [09:56] chipgeri: not sure if there is anything of the same caliber.. perhaps Cinelerra? Kino? [09:56] Chipgeri: lives is also good [09:56] I would like to test this: http://piratepad.net/DsvdMKP0EJ can someone join to type something? :) [09:56] hyperstream, wubi. no personal experience. works for some, not for others. the word on this side is that a dual boot scenario is a much better option [09:56] hello, i booted from the ubuntu live cd and set up my wlan and it works. i can ping google. but i always get an error in konqueror "could not connect to host" [09:56] dns works when i ping [09:57] do you have an idea? [09:57] burzki, it looks like it may be my only options :( [09:57] grubster: try http://theipthatpingshowsforgoogle as a test [09:57] Dr_Willis: i tried that too. same error [09:57] lucid can run as a liveCD, let you check it out first [09:57] hiatus: norbert_:norbert_:Slart:hiatus: thanks....i ll try all and which suits me the best.. [09:58] grubster: thats weird. if you ping like.. ubuntu.com you do get a different ip then the google one?

[10:06] hyperstream, for the boot commands. from the boot menu, you should be able to get to a boot prompt from there. then just put in whichever you think may apply.

I realy am a looker than of a preformancer [10:12] BlouBlou: exactly [10:13] whta i got from ping [10:13] grubster, not sure the problem .. [10:13] muse: ive heard rtorrent is good.. [10:13] since i thought it mihgt be a dns issue [10:13] but isnt [10:13] do you know a command that makes grub repair the part table? [10:13] Hi I inserted an usb stick, and it wasn't recognized, but now I have a folder in /media that I am not able to delete [10:13] or any other tool [10:13] Dr_Willis: you have other recommendations? [10:13] my partition table is broken [10:14] muse: i tend to just use ktorrent. or wine utorrent.exe [10:14] guys u know of any torrent software which starts downloading at a prescheduled time please? i tried the torrent cli and put it in a cron job but not working at all [10:14] Subby: Do sudo unmount /media [10:14] Subby: /media === DLange_ is now known as DLange [10:14] Yancho_: many torrent clients have schedueling features [10:14] Is that a problem that everyone has?

However, when I can compare it to my vista installation, which is running on the same computer(I have dual boot) I find that ubuntu has an overall larger latency when i use the graphical interface. For example when I am scrolling on a webpage, or when I start up a new program or similar. What could be the cause for this lack in response- [10:15] speed? [10:15] Yancho_: its very basic by design. [10:15] umount: /media/ALEX is not mounted (i transalted it from german) [10:15] maybe i will ask in #linux [10:15] muse: Transmission! :3 [10:16] grubster: gparted may be able to fix partition tables [10:16] !german | Subby [10:16] Subby: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[10:16] aaron11: i'm able to speak english...

I realy am a looker than of a preformancer [10:17] Is that a problem that everyone has? [10:17] mobi-sheep: are you just chanting.. or can you get transmission to remotely access a bit-torrent client running on another computer? [10:17] Dr_Willis: you think so? sounds good [10:17] Dr_Willis: are you sure? [10:17] anyone? [10:17] muse: With transmisson-daemon, you can. [10:17] Dr_Willis: that worked, I wonder why rm -rf did not work, it but an "I/O error" and ls -l put an "?" everywhere where normally the filesize and date and attributes are [10:18] put* [10:18] aaron11: could i edit the german factoid, it is too formal and contains an error [10:18] mobi-sheep: you have actually got it working?! [10:19] grubster: Go to #ubuntu-ops [10:19] muse: To access the WebUI, go to http://:9091 -- That is all. [10:19] actually i just want my partition table repaired [10:19] muse: Of course. I do. I support Transmission. :) [10:19] heh ok cool [10:19] Ill try it [10:20] Dr_Willis: there is an "make new partition table" option in qtparted === Guest29923 is now known as mud [10:20] Dr_Willis: could it make things worse?

[10:20] which data [10:21] muse: Also, http://tinyurl.com/yauun2z :) [10:21] How to open *.kmz file in ubuntu ? === Guest63753 is now known as themuddler [10:21] alabd: You must have google earth [10:22] alabd: Do sudo apt-get install googleearth [10:23] grubster: sounds like the hd has some... issues. [10:23] Dr_Willis: why? [10:24] Dr_Willis: it's the default warning [10:24] grubster: if the partition table gets 'lost/damaged' the os dosent know how the drive is aprtioned. [10:24] grubster: a totally new drive that has never been partioned. will not have a partition table. [10:24] Dr_Willis: but gparted shows my partition correctly [10:24] grubster: thats.. weird. [10:24] wtf [10:24] i just want my partition back [10:24] to boot from it [10:24] grubster: what makes you think the thing needs a fixed partition table? grub shows the partition? but the os dosent? [10:25] Dr_Willis: i cannot boot anymore [10:25] grubster: so the whole issue that manes you THINK the partition table is bad - is that it dosent boot? [10:25] mobi-sheep: thanks.. quick question; how do I get transmission-daemon started up on the server? [10:25] i had grub installed, then deleted some parititions and resized the remaining one because i needed more space [10:25] Dr_Willis: im not sure what the problem is, i cannot boot [10:25] grubster: delet/resizeing aprtitions can change the UUID of the partitions. [10:25] i might err [10:25] grubster: so starting from the beginning.. what OS is on this drive? [10:26] Dr_Willis: i had two bootable partitions in the grub menu [10:26] i removed one [10:26] now i get an error [10:26] Dr_Willis: ntfs xp [10:26] Dr_Willis: i had xp and ubuntu installed. then i needed new space for xp, so i deleted the ubuntu partition and its swap [10:26] then i resized the ntfs [10:27] now its bigger, but grub shows a problem [10:27] muse: If I remember it correctly, it is already set for startup. You need to edit /etc/transmission (and) /etc/default/transmission for folder/config folder/user. From what I hear, Debian/Ubuntu like to have daemons running with their own usernames. [10:27] grubster: if you deleted ubuntu. How is grub even working at all? [10:27] grubster: so this is a windows only system now? [10:27] Dr_Willis: i assume it is installed in the partition table [10:27] Dr_Willis: exactly [10:27] grubster: then you need to use windows to install the windows bootloader. to remove grub totally. [10:27] ah [10:28] i will ask in #windows [10:28] thanks [10:28] muse: Also, you can start/stop service by using "sudo service transmission-daemon start" [10:28] it pays to start from the beginning. :) [10:28] alabd: Do sudo apt-get install googleearth [10:28] I want to know why the fade in effect of the pannels on booting is not working unless I reboot.

[10:45] * mobi-sheep <3 biased channels. [10:45] virtualbox is based off of qemu pickett [10:45] My C64 is best. [10:45] i know [10:45] qemu allows you to do full screen [10:45] little discription does it move all installation files to /opt? cus i tot this is standard for maemo applications anyway [10:46] actually isent that kquem feature not under the gpl? i recall somthing about that ages ago. [10:46] virtualbox is lame it gives you a tiny screen when in full screen mode [10:46] no [10:46] syrius: odd.. it dosxent do that here. [10:46] here either [10:46] install additions [10:46] Dr_Willis kqemu has been under the lgpl for quite some time now [10:46] go try them all out.. use what you want. I will stick with virtualbox [10:47] syrius: does qemu support usb mode? and vbox can support seamless mode which would integrate the guest machine into your desktop [10:47] yes qemu supports all that vbox does [10:47] bigbrovar: what you mean support usb mode ? run from usb ? than yes [10:48] qemu has to be compiled with the support for kqemu Dr_Willis pickett [10:48] there is not option in qemu for kqemu which means it wasn't compiled with support [10:48] can you compile it? [10:48] it is pointless to even have kqemu in the repo if there is no use for it [10:48] Why not use KVM rather than kqemu? [10:49] compiling is not recommended [10:49] syrius: I believe kqemu support may have been dropped in the big KVM reshuffle in Karmic. [10:49] h4f: i mean the ability to plug a usb device in the host machine and its detected in the guest VM [10:49] syrius: Because you should be using KVM now. [10:49] kvm as far as I know is just making the os seem like it is within your guest os [10:49] that is ridicolous wgrant [10:49] syrius: KVM serves the same purpose as kqemu, except that it needs hardware support. [10:49] not all cpus support that [10:50] my cpu doesn't support that [10:50] But most recent ones do. [10:50] hyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [10:50] mine is from 2005 and it doesn't support that [10:50] bigbrovar: I always had this problem. it's much easier for me to setup shared folder [10:50] And most x86 desktop virtualisation needs are fulfilled by VirtualBox.

[10:50] No, it's not optimal. But it's not a huge loss. [10:51] quite talking about virtualbox [10:51] it sucks [10:51] Why? [10:51] Why? [10:51] because it is [10:51] h4f: well shared cant help when i want to use pcsuit with my N900 .. works fine on kubuntu 9.10 [10:51] That's not a very good reason. [10:51] it doesn't allow you to go into full screen like qemu [10:51] hi all, my first time here, is it appropriate to ask ubuntu advice here ? [10:51] syrius, i'm sure the virtualbox people would love to hear how they can improve their product. [10:51] syrius: Yes, it does. [10:51] they can't [10:52] it gives you a tiny screen with black around it dipshit wgrant [10:52] bigbrovar: in vitrualbox there is even a menu for usbdevices. but never get any think working there when plug pendrive.

I would love to make a complete bakup of my ubuntu-partition (and allso the windows NTFS-partition if possible) on 10-15 dvd-disks or so, in a way that I can use the DVDs directly in the filemanager to read individual files on the dvd-disks, but allso use them to restore exact copies of the partitions (so where each file is on the partition and ext3/ntfs-partitiondata etc should be saved on th [11:11] zoobox: Use Ubuntu One.

[11:13] right, you just need to upload 50 GB ! [11:13] aha... it is that backup over net? nah it would be imposssible here. out bandwidth-out is way too slow. would take weeks to push up. [11:13] zoobox: If your bandwidth is slow, take Dr_Willis's advice. [11:13] besides, I would love to have it at dvd-disks, despite it will be a bunch :-) [11:14] an usb device would be a better option [11:14] Ive found archiveing stuff to dvd disks not super relieabel either. [11:14] Dr_Willis: aha.. yeah I guess I shold by a usb-harddisk.. hmm..... [11:14] there is a tool called 'fsarchiver' (i think) not in the repos yet. that can do some neat tricks [11:14] zoobox: usb harddisk and using rsync with hardlinks is a good way for daily fast backups [11:14] Hi! im having a problem while connecting to a tightvnc server on windows.

For example when I am scrolling on a webpage, or when I start up a new program or similar. What could be the cause for this lack in response- [11:23] speed?

[11:45] oCean_, what happened was my brother changed the wep key, admin passwords and forgot them [11:45] what is the kind oof my viga card ?

DSL is not as popular as it once used to be. [11:48] i seem to recall the DSL live cd having a 'install' option at boot up. but that was ages ago [11:48] how can i unmute alsamixer channel. the m key not working [11:48] I don't have Damn Small Linux on me nor have I tried it in a while [11:49] Dr_Willis, is it possible if i install fluxbox on ubuntu, they will work faster? [11:49] kubanc: yes [11:49] BigBoy: are you using Gnome? [11:49] you have to use it as your window manager though === amee2k__ is now known as amee2k [11:49] epinky: yes [11:50] kubanc: depends on what you do.. its trivial to install fluxbox.. now getting it to do all you want is theharder part. [11:50] which you can set (once its installed) in GDM... [11:50] BigBoy: "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" , then call it with "gnome-alsamixer" === carlo is now known as Guest63897 [11:50] epinky where is the kind ?

[11:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:53] Dr_Willis, yes, but i have no other choice, because i have an old comp, i need to have 2 printers connected to, and i need to have remote desktop enabled, and even with xfce4 it's working slow, so the only thing i see here, is to install or, faster dsitro, or faster display manager [11:53] subsam: install/use the pastebinit command is one VERY good way [11:53] LOL subsam [11:53] sorry, I just had to laugh [11:53] what ? [11:53] is this a problem ? [11:54] no, I just thought you thinking the bot was human was funny, sorry ;) [11:54] kubanc: use fluxbox or flvwm then. It will put less load on the machine. [11:54] subsam: load "pastebin.com" then paste there your results and post here the link for us to check === Guest63897 is now known as carlitobrigante7 [11:54] I'm having one of those nights [11:55] epinky ok i will try [11:56] Dr_Willis, is the support on irc channels as good as for gnome, or XFCE, because i'm rooky at linux stuff, and i need lots of help [11:56] alright, I've got an interesting problem here: I'm running Kubuntu 9.10. It boots to a graphical login screen, I enter my credentials and the normal KDE loading thing appears. Next, the screen fades to black and a KDE wallet authorization thing displays. I enter my password to unlock the wallet for this session. The wallet screen goes away and I'm left with a black screen and a mouse cursor. That's it. I can Alt+F2 to run commands and such [11:56] I'd really like my desktop back. How do I fix this? [11:57] epinky http://pastebin.com/m20b9a0cd [11:58] cweagans: you'd probably get better advice in #kubuntu [11:58] hi [11:58] kubanc: theres learning 'xfce' then theres learning actual 'linux' [11:58] kubanc: playing with xfce should teach you most of how to use xfce. [11:58] back again [11:58] ardchoille: thanks :) [11:58] subsam: look at line 9, that's your VGA adapter: "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" [11:59] epinky oh , excuseme [11:59] epinky what doed it mean ? [12:00] subsam: I think it's an integrated Video Card from Intel and it's Mobile 4 series :) [12:00] Can we do this in Nautilus? http://www.benkevan.com/blog/kde-4-dolphin-terminal-integration/ [12:01] ok now where i go to hard ware it not apper [12:01] why ? [12:02] unimatrix: not that ive noticed. There are hacks to do 2 pane file manager views in nautilus [12:02] epinky why it not apper in hardware drivers ? [12:02] subsam: I think it's just a standard VGA, it should be listed as Generic or something like that, in the other hand lspci is very eloquent [12:03] epinky ok now i want to setup the viga ? [12:03] epinky how ? [12:03] subsam: go to Administration-> Preferences-> Display [12:05] what program creates the KDE UI? plasma- something? [12:05] epinky then what ?. [12:05] subsam: then set there your preferences [12:06] is there any command to logout from display manager from console ? [12:06] epinky ok but where the advanced option ? [12:07] cweagans: plasma-desktop [12:07] epinky i want to set up the viga to work the advanced option [12:07] kubanc: you mean shut down/reboot the machine? or you could just restart the gdm service to forca anyone logged into X to exit. [12:07] FireCrotch: does it require any arguments? === ari_stress is now known as pendekar_sadis [12:08] nvm [12:08] cweagans: I wouldn't know... I've never had to run it manually... [12:08] hallo [12:08] fantastic, plasma-desktop is segfaulting [12:08] fml [12:09] epinky i mean is my viga installed or not ? [12:09] epinky can i use the compiz or not ? [12:09] Dr_Willis, i installed fvwm but it's now working, i can only see mouse and black background, so i wanna go back to login manager to go into xfce window manager [12:09] kubanc: there should be some menus on the right/left mouse buttons. [12:10] cweagans: well let's see if we can't fix that... can you pastebin the error message? [12:10] Dr_Willis, yes, there are [12:10] kubanc: notice one that says exit or logout? [12:10] kubanc: and thats basically how flvwm works... its about as minimal as a window manager gets [12:10] FireCrotch: sure, but should we maybe jump over to #kubuntu? [12:11] Dr_Willis, i always thought they are only on right mouse button and i didn't tryed left button, yes and there is exit fvwm [12:11] kubanc: you are thinking in windows/gnome/xfce terms. :) [12:11] kubanc: some even put menus/items on the middle mouse button [12:12] Hello? [12:12] !hi | PoldiBonn [12:12] PoldiBonn: 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! [12:12] !hellp | PoldiBonn [12:12] !hello | PoldiBonn [12:12] ;-) [12:12] Dr_Willis, yes, now i only need to find some tutorials on how to add gnome-panel ... [12:13] Hi! What is the best practice to create a custom Ubuntu installation CD? [12:13] with other packages etc. [12:13] kubanc: run the command 'gnome-panel' but You are basicially going to start using as much resources as gnome is.. if you start up enough gnome apps... [12:14] kubanc: or learn to live without the panel. [12:14] no, i only need gnome-panel, bacause i got used to it ... [12:14] Dr_Willis, yes, that's a possible way ... [12:14] Is there a problem with NFS in karmic? It worked perfect in jaunty, but after upgrade it stopped working [12:14] 100% sure that export file is correct [12:14] Dr_Willis, adding desktop shortcuts to xvwm is possible ? [12:14] cant even connect from loopback interface [12:14] Hi is someone here who can help me with a "booting-Problem" with ubuntu 9.10 [12:14] Emme_NK: There's a program called remastersys that you can use [12:14] klumpen: any useful errors found? [12:15] FireCrotch thanks, I'll google it up [12:15] refused mount request from 127.0.0.1 [12:15] klumpen: firewall blocking ports? [12:15] unmatched host [12:15] kubanc: if you run a program to handle the desktop/icons yes.. but you are basically building your own 'desktop' from scratch. Use the command line and menu items. why do you need icons. [12:15] nop [12:15] can see errormessage in syslog [12:15] so it makes the connection [12:15] what does pulse audio do? is it safe to remove? someone told me that ekiga doesn't work well with pulse audio... [12:16] kubanc: Many of us don't even use the panel anymore [12:16] Anyone know how to fix the missing libgecko2.0-cil package in karmic, need it when building Monodevelop? [12:16] noone? :-( [12:16] klumpen: conflicting entries in /etc/hosts.allow hosts.deny? [12:16] ardchoille, Dr_Willis so what do you suggest if my brother want's to print something, and i wan't to have it very simple [12:17] syrius: Pulseaudio is the sound mixing service [12:17] !elaborate | PoldiBonn [12:17] PoldiBonn: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [12:17] allow: ALL : 127.0.0.1 [12:17] PoldiBonn: tell the channel details on the whold problem and see who answers [12:17] syrius: it allows multiple programs to use the sound card simultaneously [12:17] is it safe to remove Emme_NK? [12:17] nothing in hosts.deny config [12:17] kubanc: im not sure of what you are really trying to do. The window manager has very little to do with printing. [12:17] clean file [12:17] AFAIK only until jaunty. In karmic, it is no longer safe to remove [12:17] too many programs depend on it [12:17] I see [12:18] it says that ekiga doesn't work well with it [12:18] Emme_NK: i removed it fine in karmic, but that was on an upgrade, not sure about a clean install. [12:18] Dr_Willis: I tried installing UltraVNC on Windows vista home premium but nothing is happening but the same thing [12:18] ekiga also told me that the devs of pulse audio don't agree with what ubuntu uses it fore [12:18] Dr_Willis: I tried installing UltraVNC on Windows vista home premium but nothing is happening but the same thing [12:18] Dr_Willis: I tried installing UltraVNC on Windows vista home premium but nothing is happening but the same thing [12:18] aaron11: wow, wow, wow... [12:18] Dr_Willis, yes i know, but let's say i wanna have firefox, some text editor to find very simple. other users ho will be on this computer won't know that the left click on mouse will get them to the menu [12:18] yea [12:18] aaron11: can the vnc client connect to the local vncserver on teh same box... [12:19] hmm, I don't use ekiga myself, so I cannot comment on that [12:19] klumpen: what nfs server is installed? the nfs-kernel-server? [12:19] oCean_: jep [12:19] Dr_Willis: Please wait. I didnot try on windows [12:19] aaron11: run the ultravncviewer and try to connect to 127.0.0.1 [12:19] Dr_Willis: Please wait. I didnot try on uvnc [12:19] klumpen: i'm on fresh 9.10 install with nfs-kernel-server and no problems for localhost [12:20] klumpen: guess it is something outside nfs config [12:20] this is a upgraded version, and it worked before i upgraded [12:20] klumpen: ran exportfs -a ? [12:20] jep [12:20] and checked portmap [12:20] it should be correct [12:21] ok i have install ubuntu on the same computer with win xp. after the insallation i could boot win and ubuntu but now after choosing ubuntu in grub2 i get 2 error messages: udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured and the second is: udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured. Thats it. any ideas? [12:21] hey all, i'm looking to set up a computer to computer temporary network to share files. [12:21] have follow typ 100 howto guides now I think, but it still not works [12:21] one of the computers is ubuntu 9.10, the other is vista. [12:21] Dr_Willis: In the options on the server I put a good long password. But in the viewer I only can put less charecters [12:22] Any clues as to how this is done? [12:22] klumpen: I'm not sure what exactly gives the "unmatched host" [12:22] calamity: ssh or ntfs [12:22] aaron11: dont use a long password.

[12:24] hi. [12:25] gigglefight: Hello, how can we help you? [12:25] klumpen: in that case, the error msg should be followed (i think) by a line like : "request from unknown host x.x.x.x for /share" [12:25] any suggestions for an 'auto-clicker' for 9.10 [12:25] What do you mean by auto-clicker? [12:25] tried xmacro but the clicker doesn't grab. [12:25] anyone any clues? [12:25] any way i can debug this further? [12:25] http://sourceforge.net/projects/xautoclick/ [12:25] Dr_Willis: LOL! I just changed the password to dog but nothings happening!

[12:26] hyperstream: does LiveCD boots fine? [12:26] oCean_: really? portmap that gives this errormessage you think? [12:26] epinky, nope not at all.. [12:26] hi everyone I'd like to share files between my desktop pc running Vista and my notebook running Ubuntu 9.10 with samba, can anyone please help me out? [12:26] epinky, black screen. [12:27] klumpen: still not sure. Is there an error entry like "request from unknown host" ? === kavurt is now known as yukan === yukan is now known as kavurt [12:27] klumpen: also: can you ping localhost by name? [12:27] whitecloud: for some quick file transfers it may be easier to install the ssh server, and use winscp. [12:28] oCean_: no error with that name, and yes, i can ping localhost by name [12:28] whitecloud: if you want to use samba. Install teh samba service/pacakge edit /etc/samba/smb.cfg to set the proper workgroup. give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a' and you should be able to connect. [12:29] thanx epinky i will try to do fix it [12:30] hyperstream: check iMisspell's workaround:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313857 [12:30] PoldiBonn: np [12:30] klumpen: that's one weird case of nfs :( [12:31] mm [12:31] run NFS on many servers at work [12:31] and it works perfec [12:31] use samba at home, but it soo slow :( [12:31] klumpen: yes, i know. All the basics seem in place and correct. [12:32] What is NFS ? [12:32] network file system [12:32] !nfs | Tek-5-8-6 [12:32] Tek-5-8-6: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [12:32] epinky, oo i seen that earlyer, my graphics card is exactly the same [12:32] nfs is handy for linux -> linux machiunes :) [12:32] hi, does anyone else get Suckit on /sbin/init when running chkrootkit ? [12:32] on Karmic [12:32] epinky, even if i choose safe graphics with F4 still gives me a black screen [12:32] oCean_: anyway, thanks for your help :) [12:33] hyperstream: then, I'd suggest to go for Alternate CD install [12:33] klumpen: sure, no prob. [12:33] ahh, Not usefull for sharing 8 Hard drives with media on an Ubuntu machine with windows machines able to access the media ? [12:34] Tek-5-8-6: MS dosent seem to want us to have NFS on their os. :P [12:34] or is that a Samba config ? [12:34] how can jfs recover if mount suddenly claims that the fs type is unknown? [12:34] hi all I have a problem with my hard drive [12:34] Samba = MS smb, => network neighborhood typs shareing Tek-5-8-6 [12:34] Yea, figures [12:35] epinky, as i stated earlyer, i alreay have, it installed fine, when i go to boot black screen. Exactly the same steps in that thread you linked me too [12:35] I have a ssd with / /home/ and swap, my hard drive #2 mount randomly at boot! [12:35] epinky, im about to give the alpha a go, see if that solves it [12:37] Why my second hard drive is not mouting properly at each boot? I'm on Karmic [12:37] tom967: Please go to www.pastebin.com and paste the contents of your /etc/fstab file for us to view and dissect. [12:37] mobi-sheep, you still here? [12:38] hyperstream: also you can give a try "envy" [12:38] !envy > hyperstream [12:38] hyperstream, please see my private message [12:38] hyperstream: don't use envy [12:38] hyperstream: I just came in.. do you have an nvidia card?

Where is the issue comming from ? [12:39] I'm right clicking a directory (my home dir) to try and share it, but I'm missing the Share this... (or whatever is suppose to be there). Can someone tell me what I might have removed that removed this from that context menu? [12:39] tom967: Looks as though your fstab is configured correctly... although I'm not 100% sure on the syntax. [12:39] >Nero-Wolf: I commented the line with sdb [12:40] scunizi, my Compaq Persario CQ61-314TU is almost exactly the same as this poster, with the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313857 [12:40] shai: try 'sudo apt-get install samba' for starters. also try shareing somtning OTHER then your home dir. make a Shared directory [12:40] and i try to mount it with fuse because it hang the bootup process on startup using /etc/fstab [12:40] shai: don' [12:40] scunizi, ill pm you the Question when i entered [12:40] ... [12:40] hyperstream: oh yeah, I forget it was an intel , envy won't do it [12:40] shai: don't try to share your home directory with write permissions, it will cause issues [12:41] Dr_Willis, I already have samba freshly installed ... [12:41] shai: then try the other suggestion. [12:41] Callum_, I can't, even if I try... [12:41] scunizi, but the steps ive taken are identical to that post, i came here are running out of idea's [12:41] tom967: u can mount it with ntfs through fstab [12:41] shai: if you want access to your home. you can edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf to share the users Homes in a safer fashion [12:41] hyperstream: what is your issue? [12:41] err, ok ill repost it here [12:41] shai: I'm pretty sure its a nautilus addon thats supposed to be installed by default anyway === moymoy2 is now known as moymoy [12:42] Callum_: thats what i was thinking also. [12:42] xover, Anyone had this issue: ive just tried the alternative cd to install ubuntu, but i get a black screen as soon as it loads the video driver i think(Compaq Presario CQ61 Laptop), same happeneds on live cd have tried taking quite and splash off to see if i can see what it is, its in the phase one of loading(flood of text) then as if monitor is turning off then on, and its a solid black screen, it seems to load at least to gnome, i installed via a [12:42] lt iso image, and went fine, upon booting black screen. [12:42] apocalypt: its an ext4 drive, why the hell use NTFS? === jose is now known as ProUbuntu [12:42] tom967: if it's ext4 u can use it too in fstab [12:42] hyperstream: will it boot in safe graphics mode? [12:42] xover, my Compaq Persario CQ61-314TU is almost exactly the same as this poster, with the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313857 <-- ive done all these steps, the safe graphics mode gives me a black screen also [12:42] tom967: which one hd is it [12:42] scunizi, nope :( [12:42] Dr_Willis, I'm just looking for a "simple gui solution" ... also, tried other options (created a 'shared' dir inside my home) and that didn't work... [12:43] oCean_: great tip, and yes, it tries to connect [12:43] shai: try installing the 'nautilus-share' package [12:43] shai: i got 'shareing options' here in my menus... [12:43] hyperstream so at this time you're just trying to get the live cd to boot right? [12:43] hyperstream: break out single user mode, then apt-get your way to victory with the supported graphics driver. [12:43] Anyone know how to get proftpd to allow fxp? [12:43] xover, thats single ro ? as in safe mode ? [12:43] Dr_Willis, I had that too... before I installed then removed samba samba-common with --purge [12:44] hyperstream, i didn't read the post, but my compaq didnt worked with the new ubuntu version too, the -> noapic boot parameter helped me and then i just updated to a newer kernel version [12:44] apocalypt: it's sdb boot hangups when using /etc/fstab. So to get my desktop I mount it in FUSE... But in each case it can mount 1 time on 3 or 4. [12:44] scunizi, i have installed the alternative, and wubi, gives me a black screen upon rebooting, and selecting to boot into ubuntu [12:44] just edit and add 'single' not RO, you need to write to the kernel. [12:44] shai: try installing the 'nautilus-share' package [12:44] klumpen: so, you should be seeing something like "IP localhost.nfs > localhost.3187409403: reply ok" [12:44] Hey, if anyone is familiar with WoW addon lib errors, could they please check out this screenshot of the error and give me a shout if they can find anything i've tried can't seem to find a fix. any help is appreciated. http://i49.tinypic.com/ndokfp.jpg [12:44] ttwhy, yes i had a similar issue with my fathers old laptop, ive too tried disabling them in groups and in single's with no luck [12:44] hello, everytime i open evolution it asks for keyring password... how do i stop it from asking this? [12:44] Callum_, trying that now [12:44] tom967: where u want mount sdb? in /mnt or /media? [12:45] apocalypt: I mount it in /media [12:45] xover: that's probably still a little vague for hyperstream .. can you be more specific for him? [12:45] maria: set it to not use a password.. let me find this video i made [12:45] oCean_: yes, a lot of entrys [12:45] hyperstream, so you pressed E on grubs startmenu and added the noapic option there? and still the same issues? (what would be a -> than iam out ;) ) [12:46] apocalypt: I only have the problem in Karmic. Should I fill a bug report? [12:46] maria: see http://drop.io/dr_willis under Movie for how to set the password [12:46] please help. I need to know how to install xAutoClick. [12:46] ttwhy, yes thats correct [12:46] hmm sry, than iam out ;) [12:46] !info xautoclick [12:46] Package xautoclick does not exist in karmic [12:46] tom967: make a folder sdb in /media [12:46] I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, [12:46] ok [12:46] !info nautilus-shaer [12:46] Package nautilus-shaer does not exist in karmic [12:46] !info nautilus-share [12:46] nautilus-share (source: nautilus-share): Nautilus extension to share folder using Samba.

[12:47] thevishy: flash is good at maxing out your cpu on some suystems. sadly. [12:47] apocalypt: ok will try this once again (but it screwed up my system last time) [12:48] oh no - but in windows it doesnt heat up this much u know [12:48] apocalypt: thanks for advice [12:48] klumpen: to filter NFS only: "tcpdump -i lo port 2049" (when using loopback=lo) - still if the incoming requests are translated as coming from "localhost", then that entry in exports should be correct, and not render "unmatched host" [12:48] Dr_Willis, Ok, so I have it now and shared that 'shared' dir. I want.. but my Windows box won't connect to it (I do have SSH to the box, so I do have connectivity in that way)... is this not suppose to work "out of the box" after I shared a dir? [12:48] tom967: all other entries of sdb delete if there isn't another partition on sdb [12:48] thevishy: because the flash player is tested better in windows/beter compat with video drivers and so forth. monitor your cpu load. [12:48] okay [12:48] shai: you checked all the check boxs for the shre to allow full acceess? [12:49] Dr_Willis, indeed [12:49] hello everyone i've got a question... i just installed the facebook-chat plugin for Pidgin (using ubuntu 9.10) .. and i would like to know if there is a way to somehow disable the chat on the website, but still be online with pidgin? (it's really annoying to get double msg's on both ends) [12:49] Anyone here familiar with WoW lib errors?. Could use a hand the error that I have it's too big to post on here ;x [12:49] what ubuntu should I get with 8 gb of ram [12:49] once I load the flash the laptop just steams [12:49] the only way i figured out is to have the browser shut sown [12:49] 64-bit [12:49] scunizi, think xover is afk, what did he mean mate? [12:49] apocalypt: OK see you in a minute or 10 :) [12:49] shai: so does the windows box even see the remote machine at all? [12:49] Fujk , 64 bit ubuntu is available [12:49] !64 bit [12:49] does anyone know how to install a .tar? [12:49] ok tom967 :) [12:49] shai: You may need to set the workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf [12:50] gigglefight: .tar is an archive...like .zip, .rar [12:50] Dr_Willis, Like I said, I do have SSH to it (both have the same IP subnet, both on the same LAN) [12:50] gigglefight: you avoid it. What are you installing exactly? [12:50] gigglefight: Extract it, then look for a file named "README" or "INSTALL" in its contents. [12:50] thevishy: but doe sit support 8 gb of ram [12:50] gigglefight: you have to extract it [12:50] hi, can anyone tell me , is pulse audio used in karmic instead of alsa? [12:50] shai: does the windows machine see the linux machine in its network neightborhood stuff? [12:50] autoclick [12:50] xautoclick [12:50] I did read it. [12:50] hyperstream: single user mode.. I've heard of it but don't know how to get into it.. perhaps booting to the rescue kernel and then dropping to the cli.. someone else will have to guide you on this one. sorry [12:50] hello everyone i've got a question... i just installed the facebook-chat plugin for Pidgin (using ubuntu 9.10) .. and i would like to know if there is a way to somehow disable the chat on the website, but still be online with pidgin?

[12:50] gigasoft, there are packages in the repo to automate you input devices [12:50] you have server edition ubunbtu , it should be supporting 8 GB though - usual ones [12:51] shai: and does the linux box see its own shares in places -> network ? [12:51] gigglefight, there are packages in the repo to automate you input devices [12:51] why do u have so much GB in first place ? :) [12:51] thevishy, who ? [12:51] please name a few. [12:51] thevishy: the last time I bought a computer I selected 1 gb, this was 1 year ago, and the store guy asked me why. Today it is not enough as I predicted. :D 8 gb should last me a while.

I have a lot of tab [12:53] :P [12:53] lol better to always keep in pace I say - but yeah if u got extra bucks why not [12:53] I'm looking through the repo. [12:54] shai: are the 2 machines in the same workgroup? can the linux box see the windows box shares?

[12:54] Dr_Willis, cpu goes to 50% invariably - isnt there a fix to this ? Win XP handle this very well ...so I am assuming there will be a fix to watch flash on Ubuntu in laptop [12:54] !fr | cotueur [12:54] cotueur: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [12:55] thevishy: if adobe does some fixing.. other then that.. no idea. [12:55] gigglefight, http://www.hotsolder.com/2008/08/autohotkey-for-linux-sort-of.html [12:55] thevishy: ive heard of peopel that have flash hit 100% CPU when doing things with flash [12:55] I want to upgrade my RAM to 1 GB from 512 and thats like my next goal [12:55] hello [12:55] Dr_Willis, how about 3rd party flash players then ?

[12:56] people with laptop here - are u able to see flash videos without heating the laptop ? [12:56] thevishy: good luck getting the one that exists to work with most things. [12:57] thevishy: i dont have an issue with my laptop. but its using an nvidia video card. [12:57] thevishy: you could always download/convert teh flash video i guess. [12:57] Dr_Willis, right , i am watching from youtube [12:57] klumpen: what does "sudo netstat -anp | grep 2049" output? [12:57] thank guntbert [12:57] can anyonr help me to fix query using squid_ldap_group. I can query using ldapsearch .; [12:58] Dr_Willis, the windows is able to view the linux one, in the Entire Network browsing... but won't connect (asks for user/password)... I only have 1 user on this linux box and I tried mine and that didn't work. [12:58] oCean_: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2049 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [12:58] cotueur: pas de quois :) [12:58] Dr_Willis, and this is not red tube like sites - just you tube u know :) [12:58] shai: did you give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? [12:59] thevishy: There's really no fix for flash in Linux at all. Adobe hates us Linux users. [12:59] Dr_Willis, I actually just thought, that using the GUI to share the folder would be enough... didn't think I need to add that user now too (thought it would use PAM authentication) [12:59] I need video surveillance in a retail store. What's anyone's take on an ubuntu box dedicated solely to running a bunch of webcams? [12:59] sektorNBA: better ask on #ubuntu-server channel [13:00] How do I get a higher screen resolution (virtual) than is supported by my monitor in ubuntu? [13:00] shai: befor i have just shared and clicked the 3 check box's to allow guest access. and i have accessed it.. [13:00] Dr_Willis, you're up early. Where are you (time zone)? [13:00] FireCrotch, did know this one - tough luck I guess [13:00] klumpen: that's correct, listening on all interfaces. The tcpdump might not return anything when your loopback is no "lo", see ifconfig -a | grep -i loopback [13:00] !ot | craigbass1976 [13:00] craigbass1976: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:00] shai: or i just set up samba to share the HOME directories and be done with iot. [13:00] craigbass1976: actually this is about the time i come home from work. [13:00] Dr_Willis, understood. I added the user using smbpasswd and now i have access :) [13:01] Dr_Willis, thanks! [13:01] shai: thats one of the 3 steps io always do on a new machine when setting up samba [13:01] Dr_Willis, k [13:01] shai: the windows box was sending your username.. not 'guest' perhaps was the issue. [13:01] oCean_: lo Link encap:Local Loopback [13:01] guntbert, meh? Why'd you do that? The time zone question, or the webcam question? [13:01] i think Chrome browser handles flash better in ubuntu [13:01] From google empathy is replacing pidgin, but why? What is the advantage? Google is failing me for reasons, only the fact that it is. [13:02] thevishy: did u try the open source flash player. e.g. gnash [13:02] no [13:02] i will try it [13:02] klumpen: ok, your loopback *is* lo, so I would think the tcpdump should return the NFS traffic/requests. Not sure why that's not the case [13:02] Dr_Willis, maybe... no biggy just as long as it works :) (I'm a headless servers guy myself and used to doing this from within the smb.conf file - just wanted to give GUI a change) [13:02] oCean_: is it possible that portmap is stopping the connection? [13:02] !gnash [13:02] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [13:02] is there such thing to help with autoclick for Ubuntu 9.10? [13:02] Dr_Willis, s/change/chance/ [13:02] craigbass1976: both actually :-) this is no place for general chat or for polls... [13:02] craigbass1976: I see no reason why you couldn't set up a ubuntu box to do that, just make sure that you get webcams that actually work in Linux, as that can be a problem, from what I've heard [13:03] klumpen: yes. "service portmap status" should return running PID [13:03] thevishy: look there. u will find a part about flash http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Gnash_Plug-in_.28Open_source_Flash_Player_replacement.29 [13:03] apocalypt, if I use gnash , will it integrate with my browser ? ok [13:03] oCean_: portmap start/running, process 17806 [13:03] klumpen: using "sudo netstat -anp |grep PID_OF_PORTMAP" should show whether it's really listening [13:03] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17806/portmap [13:04] klumpen: in that case, re-run tcpdump, using port 111, like "tcpdump -i lo port 111" and re-try the nfs mount [13:04] guntbert, I was wondering if anyone had done it, or if anyone had ideas on the feasibility of such a setup.

I guess not :) [13:07] craigbass1976: I see - but usually such questions (like "might this be feasible", ...) are better placed in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:08] guys, why pictures on google maps don't work for me.

(even text-cli based is ok - just not mpd which requires some pita config with jack to be qualized) [13:20] With the ubuntu linux how do you copy a cd with it [13:21] ManDay, this might give you ideas to start your investigation : http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/124907 [13:21] smokey: brasero and k3b hve cd copy featires or dd it to an iso file then burn the iso file to cd [13:21] does the "alternate-install CD" for 9.10 let you choose between Grub 1 and 2 ? [13:22] ok thank you [13:22] gnash doesnt have any difference [13:22] Can JACK be used with PULSE? [13:22] how can i hide the start/title bar in wm? [13:23] I have 8 gb ram, do I really need 16 gb swap.... [13:23] thanks airtonix very nice sum up [13:23] ManDay, yeah, it can.. though it's overkill for a simple music player [13:23] Fujk: IMO, you don't need any swap. [13:24] Fujk: you planing on using hibernate/suspend? if no.. then no you dont [13:24] TankC, regarding what? [13:24] ManDay, that article also mentions xmms which is obsolete, try xmms2 [13:24] hello there [13:24] Dr_Willis: no [13:24] ManDay, simple media player === Mud is now known as Guest22232 [13:24] xmms is a server/client system [13:24] Fujk: perhaps 1 gb of swap then. just in case.

[13:24] ah [13:25] help iam from brasil [13:25] i wonder how i can make ipset work with the liveCD , i mean the "test ubuntu without install" apt-get install ipset didnt help me out.. seems there is something lacking with its kernel [13:25] thres also mpd thats a server/client type setup [13:25] !br | cruzbr [13:25] cruzbr: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:25] i didnt like mpd for it would require some fancy JACK setup to support an equalizer [13:25] i tried it a while back in gentoo and it totally messed up [13:25] my idea is to verify that its possible to make ipset work without needing gcc and compile a new kernel [13:26] thanks my friends [13:26] ManDay: what about mp3blaster? [13:26] since this articles mentiones mp3blaster, does IT have an equalizer? [13:26] ManDay: cant say that ive ever worried about an equilizer.. so no idea on that [13:26] epinky, just getting there :I [13:26] :] [13:26] ManDay: yes, it does [13:26] Dr_Willis, cant forgo it. [13:26] since then i could cutomize my own liveCD and have ipset on it directly and be able to use this as a bootup for my computer that i want as a router [13:26] epinky, well then, seems like i found my candidate :> [13:27] ManDay: i cant imagine why its needed. I just use os's equilizer.. and i rarely even use that. [13:27] ubuntu has a built in equalier oO ? [13:27] or what is it that you are refering to ? [13:27] ManDay: i saw one mentioned on a ubuntu tutiorial page.. yes [13:28] if thats true you got a point - if im not worried about modified all sound at once i wouldnt need jack then. [13:28] Hmm.. heres something - someone wasasking for the other day -> Key-Mon Displays Keyboard And Mouse Status On The Screen http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/key-mon-displays-keyboard-and-mouse.html [13:28] i wonder how it would work tho, since this would have to link in somewhere before pulse - or between pulse and the hardware ?! [13:28] * Dr_Willis bookmarks that [13:29] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.html [13:29] got it [13:29] thats the equilizer i saw. - no idea how it works.

[13:38] kororor: sounds like you have an instruction hanging then you kill it and then the next one starts [13:38] I guess usplah assumes a display manager is always started and it is waiting until it is loaded [13:38] Is there no way in palimpsest of creating a partition as a chunk of space for logical volumes - it only seems to offer primary/extended ?

And when I do initctl list I don't see the ssh entry even though I can see openssh-server has created a file in /etc/init.d [13:47] penguin42: thats easy.. there is none that ive seen..

It shouldn't. /etc/init.d/ssh === root is now known as Guest66707 [13:53] hi, question: can i somehow get the ubuntu 9.10 live cd to load the nvidia proprietary drivers instead of the built-in's? [13:54] hi good night everyone [13:54] grawity: i can't connect to this channel...it seems that does not exist [13:54] tom967: maybe u should mount it in /mnt because /media is for removeable media [13:54] jrib: It seems right to migrate to upstart for everything rather than having a mix of the two - because with the mix of the two it's very difficult to know what you should do to start a given service since you have to figure out which scheme it uses [13:54] apocalypt [13:54] ok [13:54] christaker: It exists. I just joined it. [13:54] mash1: it might be you need somew option for the driver of your hardware probably need to google your laptop model [13:54] i cnt get my network-manager workin....help [13:54] penguin42: does « sudo service SERVICE_NAME start » not work? (I don't know if it does) [13:55] !doesntwork|bray0 [13:55] bray0: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [13:55] jrib: It does, but that won't cause it to start at boot [13:55] tom967: that means u should create a folder like /mnt/sdb1 and use it instead of /media/sdb1 in fstab [13:55] christaker, type: /join ##java [13:55] penguin42: but services start at boot automatically when you install them anyway [13:56] (14:54:50) blackest_knight: i've tried several solutions on the web and nothing changes, the problem seems to be that the capture option is not turned on even thought I put it that way [13:56] penguin42: in any case, I think the plan is to migrate everything to upstart anyway but it's a process [13:56] i tried installin n it ain workin.. [13:56] epinky, I mean, how can I revert grub while running the live cd? won't I have to uninstall grub 2 and install grub 1? [13:56] hyperstream: i typed that but it doesn't do anything...i'm using quassel irc [13:57] mash1: audio is so difficult since pulseaudio [13:57] jrib: This doesn't seem to be the case with openssh-server, and I know on most distros that it's a security policy not to autoenable services [13:57] penguin42: it is the case with openssh-server, on debian if you install something the expectation is that you want to use it [13:57] jrib: Given that 1) I have openssh-server and 2) It's not starting at boot I have to disagree [13:58] (14:57:04) blackest_knight: yeah i've heard but my laptop sound great the only thing is the mic thing... it makes impossible to use skype. I google my laptop to see if there s any specifics. thankx [13:58] is there an application for mobile broadband other than network-manager [13:58] penguin42: maybe you are experiencing some bug, but it starts automatically for me and it should start automatically [13:58] ah mash1: i've something for you hang on a mo === kaiser is now known as Guest96524 [13:58] _4crickj_, ok I've installed TrueCrypt, created an encrypted Volume with a password, I mounted it. Now what? How do I browse it or add files? [13:58] ohay: you can boot from from LiveCD and chroot to make necessary changes, check METHOD 3 in that link to get an idea how [13:59] is there an application for mobile broadband other than network-manager [13:59] mash1: /bin/sh -c "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 skype" try that [13:59] (14:57:04) blackest_knight: ok [13:59] (14:57:04) blackest_knight: ok thankx a lot i ll tray it right away [14:00] is there an application for mobile broadband other than network-manager..rily urgent...help.. [14:00] bray0: mobile broadband of what type? [14:00] mash1: essentially it gets pulse out of the way and lets you use alsa mixer settings [14:00] huawei e160 [14:00] bray0: what dongle ? [14:00] its a usb dongle [14:00] ok which ubuntu version [14:00] how can i join ubuntu [14:01] hyperstream: on another irc program it says me "You need to be identified to join that channel" how i do that? [14:01] 9.10 [14:01] okay [14:01] thanks [14:01] can i somehow get the ubuntu 9.10 live cd to load the nvidia proprietary drivers instead of the built-in's? [14:01] bray0: what does lsusb say about it [14:01] hi!, i have a dsl internet connection, how do i use it in ubuntu, i tried pppoeconf and the dsl in the network manager none work [14:01] does it say its a usb modem ? [14:02] chris231989: try /msg NickServ identify [14:02] <_4crickj_> migi, if its mounted, it should be at /media/truecrypt1 [14:02] _4crickj_, yeah I just figured it out :) thanks [14:02] anyone know why bluetooth headset isn't showing up in sound preferences? [14:02] sorry it was for christaker [14:02] its says e220 hsdpa modem [14:03] its says e220 hsdpa modem [14:03] is it possible [14:03] cool itshould work [14:04] bray0: pppconfig doesn't work? [14:04] tom967: u there? [14:04] hii [14:04] hello, i have a samba share on a linux box called data and a directory on a windows box called data-copied I have browsed to the linux share and click and dragged the data from the linux box to the windows box. after the copy the size has grown by some 20-30% (NTFS on windows EXT3 on linux) totaling about 30 gig of growth. However now there is 1200 less files! How do i ensure these directories are in sync? [14:04] am new here, can anyone guide me? [14:05] ^_^ [14:05] !anyone | nebrass [14:05] nebrass: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:05] dvrcoder: yeah that would be nice.... haven't tride latest ubuntu yet though... perhaps if on just restart X after switching to nvidias driver? [14:05] _4crickj_, last question: I created a 50MB volume just to test and it en-/decrypts pretty fast, but does it scale well? I mean, does it need more time decrypting as more files are added or does it stay the same? If so, can I resize the volume (haven't found that option yet) === krphop_ is now known as krphop [14:06] zoobox: don't know whether it will work, since there sure is some kernel blahblah involved, but i might just as well try :D [14:07] Does anyone/anybody can guide me in my first steps with ubuntu?? [14:07] nebrass: www.ubuntuguide.org can help [14:07] i have a music directory on a different partition than my home partition, and i want to create a symbolic link from my home directory to that music dir. how do i do this? === _Mowee is now known as Mowee [14:08] <_4crickj_> migi, not entirely sure, but from my experience en/decryption is still just as fast with more data. I suppose it would slow down with larger volumes. [14:08] Hi. I updated udev to lucid version (I have Karmic installed), and now I can't force the version to karmic one (it wants to delete almost all system packages). How can I get the Karmic version safely? [14:08] Darkchylde: ln -s /mnt/music ~/music [14:09] !ask | nebrass [14:09] nebrass: 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. :-) === asd_ is now known as Guest34007 [14:09] MikeChelen: and that'd make the directories that show up in my current music directory also show up in ~/music? === Guest34007 is now known as hakan [14:09] _4crickj_: depends on the encryption type [14:09] slm [14:09] dvrcoder: tell me if you succeed. I tried make a start-with-nvidia livecd (wich UCK or somthing) with ubuntu7.10 (so it would be possible to just boot the cd and play tuxracer) and I think I made it work somehow [14:09] /j #ep3 [14:10] Darkchylde: it will look like the directory is your home folder. use ls to tell it is a link [14:10] is there a command to ping all the IP numbers from 1 to 254 [14:11] kubanc: it might be ping *.*.*.* but why you want to do this [14:11] kubanc: nmap can do it [14:11] <_4crickj_> MikeChelen, I assume that stronger encryption, regardless of type, is slower [14:12] zoobox: worked. installed the nvidia driver from the proprietary drivers menu, then run nvidia-xconfig, then "log out" and it comes up with the new driver [14:12] <3 [14:12] MikeChelen: ok, what it did was make ~/Music/Music/(paths to artists) instead of ~/Music/(paths to artists) [14:12] dvrcoder: nice! [14:13] _4crickj_: yes for cipher size, for file size it depends on encryption method [14:13] would "ln -s /path/to/Music ~" give me what i want? [14:13] Darkchylde: yup that looks right [14:13] kubanc: check out the 'sing' command. its a specilized ping. [14:13] !info sing [14:13] Package sing does not exist in karmic [14:13] Hmm wonder where i saw it at [14:14] Darkchylde: the empty ~/Music directory may have to be deleted first [14:14] Dr_Willis: have you been dreaming of linux again? [14:14] MikeChelen: thanks, that got it. [14:15] <_4crickj_> MikeChelen, I agree, although i'm not familiar with the different methods of encryption and their complexity [14:15] Darkchylde: if the music directory is on a separate hard drive or network share, you could also mount it directly at ~/Music [14:15] jrib: i recall using that command ages ago for some task. :) I think it was sing.. perhaps sping [14:16] apocalypt: I did the change will try a reboot in seconds... Thanks for advice [14:16] _4crickj_: file-based encryption and block-level encryption are different, for example dmcrypt-luks and ecryptfs [14:17] the fonts of my PC are squares! :( does anyone know what can i do? [14:17] smk22: regenerate font cache [14:17] smk22:werent you here yesterday? :X [14:18] yes!! its me :( [14:18] smk22:did running that one command not work? [14:18] . [14:18] it didnt work [14:18] apocalypt: no it ain't mounting [14:18] Kwpolska, i just got a HP printer which has a jetdirect LAN card, and i don't know the IP address of the card === Guest22232 is now known as Mud [14:18] :-( [14:19] i tried with reconfigure but nothing .. [14:19] kubanc: They tend to default to something [14:19] <_4crickj_> MikeChelen, so which method do you think is fastest? file-based or block-level [14:19] kubanc: Alternatively, it might have picked up an IP address from your dhcp server/router [14:20] kubanc: you could use nmap to ping scan the network [14:20] tom967: did u try to mount it by hand? like "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 [14:20] _4crickj_: idk which is faster overall, but block level will not be any slower for larger files [14:20] Dr_Willis: is this it? http://sourceforge.net/projects/sing/ [14:20] penguin42, yes i agree, but the printer is not new, so probably, there is already an ip, that is not the IP i wanna in my LAN, [14:20] Dr_Willis, i'm already on it :D [14:20] legend2440: nah.. this was actually a ping variant used in scripts... [14:20] <_4crickj_> MikeChelen, ok, thanks for all the info [14:20] hello. whenever i start ubuntu a message appears saying Could not find "/media/Moja". Moja being the name of a memory card i use once in a while. can anyone help me disable this message? [14:20] penguin42, that's why i need to ping all the IP numbers in my newtork [14:20] legend2440: it could set return coded and other things. so you dident have to parse ping output [14:21] apocalypt: It says: sdb1 doesn't exist [14:21] possibly which is the best language to start wit? [14:21] i downloaded files for dxflib and compiled them using gcc 4.2, and i think it went well. but how do i use the files? can someone direct me to a site which can give an example how to use them or a tutorial? thanks [14:21] kubanc: I think they tend to have reset buttons to clear the cmos; but still as I say, worth checking your dhcp server/router to see if it's allocated it one [14:21] legend2440: but i guess it could of grown into that.. reading the sing docs... [14:21] _4crickj_, really last question now, but I can't create an NTFS filesystem in TrueCrypt. There's FAT, Ext2 and Ext3, but they say I need NTFS if I want to use dynamic volume size. Do I need to install something first? [14:21] _4crickj_: sure, they are both options for ubuntu. block-level requires setup with alternate install cd, while ecryptfs is used for encrypted home directories [14:21] possibly which is the best comp language to start wit? [14:21] does anyone/anybody is mastering backtrack here??? [14:21] tom967: fdisk -l please pastebin [14:22] @ nebrass...thats some hard stuff [14:22] penguin42, the problem it is, that this card, hasn't got not even a info button, not even a reset button, i don't even have it on the printer LCD display menu [14:22] kubanc: Ah that's a bit of a pita - have you taken the card out to see if it has a reset onboard? [14:23] hi. in login screen I have the big black comix cursor and after logging in I have DMZ black. I set the cursor to DMZ black. why is it different in login screen? [14:23] apocalypt: http://pastebin.com/d790d42d0 where's my sdb? Oo [14:23] penguin42, it's very hard to take it out, i'll try it again .... [14:23] boscop: the login screen is not controlled by your account :X [14:23] the same settings do not apply [14:23] MASARUwota: which settings apply there? [14:23] kubanc: What I would do is run a wireshark/tcpdump as you switch the printer on and see if you see any broadcasts [14:24] boscop: i think the ones for the GDM user [14:24] boscop:you are running "normal" ubuntu? with GDM? [14:24] probably the gdm user then, yeah [14:24] <_4crickj_> migi, soz can't help you there. perhaps MikeChelen knows. NTFS may be specific to an encryption type. [14:24] MASARUwota: GDM?? I'm running xfce [14:24] boscop: your login manager [14:24] xfce uses gdm last i checked. [14:24] tom967: that seems there isn't a sdb [14:24] MASARUwota: where can I set the gdm cursor? [14:24] Dr_Willis: well, it can use whatever you want :p [14:25] boscop: dunno if you can do it graphically... [14:25] xubuntu-desktop uses GDM. :) [14:25] tom967: is it a new hdd ? external /internal? [14:25] _4crickj_: migi yeah ntfs has its own encryption, you could use truecrypt or freeotfe for crossplatform [14:25] penguin42, this is the card that i have, http://www.memorysuppliers.com/hpje61j4prse.html [14:25] i downloaded files for dxflib and compiled them using gcc 4.2, and i think it went well. but how do i use the files? can someone direct me to a site which can give an example how to use them or a tutorial? thanks [14:25] apocalypt: in 3 to 4 boot sdb will show up and I will be able to mount it === wertik|angry is now known as wertik|afk [14:25] boscop: you need to edit a file in the profile dir of the gdm user [14:26] apocalypt: old hdd internal samsung HD501LJ S [14:26] hi, i'm writing a script for most important (according to my tasks) software to install and I need a way to let apt-get ignore previously installed packages, is it possible to do? [14:26] apocalypt: SMART says its OK it only appears in Karmic [14:26] tom967: i guess the hdd is corrupt. [14:26] MASARUwota: where exactly? === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [14:27] tom967: that odd [14:27] boscop: dont know that... some x settings file i guess === h32Lg is now known as h32lg [14:27] apocalypt: do you think I should fill a bug report? [14:27] MikeChelen, I am using truecrypt already. The problem is that I can't resize a volume once it's created, and to have a file with a dynamic size that grows they say I need NTFS, but the option to create an NTFS volume isn't there in TrueCrypt! [14:28] tom967: yeah maybe but i guess it is a hardware issue [14:28] tom967: please pastebin /etc/fstab again [14:29] Who did suggest mp3blaster again? [14:29] Very clever: It has shortcuts on F-keys. but if I press them in gnome-terminal I get the gnome-shortcuts [14:29] apocalypt: http://pastebin.com/d1ca74c40 [14:30] tom967: did u place the jumper of the hdd correct? it should be slave if u use IDE HDD [14:30] migi: encfs and ecryptfs can grow dynamically but they are linux only, do you need windows compatibility? [14:30] MikeChelen, not in the near future, but maybe some day [14:30] apocalypt: nice try but its a sata drive [14:30] epinky, YOU! [14:30] MikeChelen, do they work in the same way, creating a virtual volume that you can mount? [14:30] chitebbeiv: if you apt-get install whatever and whatever is allready intalled.. it will just skip it i thought [14:31] Can someone tell me why adobe-flashplugin always appears on my Update Manager list, but always in a grayed out non-selectable manner? [14:31] migi: yup pretty much, files are stored encrypted in a directory which can be mounted [14:31] Dr_Willis, it does not... [14:31] chitebbeiv: it does here. I just tried it. [14:31] I think this may be responsible for problems I'm having in firefox when trying to watch movie clips. [14:31] is there any reason why my wireless on my laptop would be running at a maximum of 20kb's (even right next to the router) [14:32] this box(via Ethernet) = over 400kb's [14:32] tom967: it seems your sdb was mounted under /usr/local. was there your /usr/local on that hdd? [14:32] MikeChelen, ok I'll use that. what's the (main) difference between encfs and ecryptfs? [14:32] sudo apt-get install whatever just prints a message about it being allready installed.. renameutils is already the newest version. [14:32] MikeChelen, or are they the same? [14:32] hi === SREEVISAK is now known as vijay0003 [14:32] Dr_Willis [14:32] hyperstream, sometimes the channel on witch the router transmits signal affects speed [14:32] How can I disable the F1-Keybidning for gnome-terminal HELP? [14:32] chitebbeiv: i got about a 50 line script i use on every new install that apt-get installs several dozen packages, and sets up some repos and other things. === sean is now known as Guest91211 [14:33] can anyone see my posts here? [14:33] ye [14:33] Aijse, works fine in windows 7 on the laptop, and my missus's pc is on wireless and is hitting 300kb's [14:33] Dr_Willis, can you send me that script? [14:33] last few times I've been on here seems I've been ignored. [14:33] migi: ecryptfs is integrated with ubuntu option for encrypted homedirs, while encfs is a standalone install. they both do similar things though [14:33] no posts [14:33] Dr_Willis: please... [14:33] how do I change the default OS to boot with grub2? [14:33] chitebbeiv: its just a bunch of 'sudo apt-get install thispackage thatpackage thisotherpackage' lines [14:33] MikeChelen and _4crickj_ thanks for all your help! [14:34] chitebbeiv: with some comments about what its isntalling. [14:34] quit [14:34] hyperstream, windows seven on the same machine? [14:34] Dr_Willis, it's exactly what I do and what I need, but mine doesn't work [14:34] Can someone tell me why adobe-flashplugin always appears on my Update Manager list, but always in a grayed out non-selectable manner? [14:34] migi: encfs is pretty reliable, there might be some gui for it too [14:35] Dr_Willis, this is mine sudo apt-get install build-essential startupmanager ubuntu-restricted-extras p7zip-full unrar conky conkyforecast [14:35] chitebbeiv: thats about what i use. whats the error it gives. [14:36] i am trying to update my vlc in ubuntu 8.04 to 1.0.4 of vlc [14:36] joined [14:36] chitebbeiv: if any ONE of those package names is wrong the whole line wont work. [14:36] but from the repos i cannot do that [14:36] no errors, but when it find an already installed package it stops everything [14:36] ping [14:36] Aijse, yes [14:36] Aijse, dual boot [14:36] Dr_Willis, names are all correct [14:36] hello all [14:36] datta: why not upgrade the distro? [14:37] MikeChelen: only if LTS comes out [14:37] i dont upgrade other than that [14:37] chitebbeiv: so if you 'sudo apt-get install renameutils' then run 'sudo apt-get install renameutils' what does it say the 2nd time? [14:37] datta: You could use the VLC PPA. [14:37] My monitor is stuck at 52Hz, Monitor Resolution Settings doesn't offer any higher. How do I fix it? [14:37] that it's already installed, but my problem is to let install the other packages in the list [14:38] hyperstream, I believe it could still make a difference. might try and see what happpens. it helped me out [14:38] i am getting intermittent nvidia gpu errors, how do i find out more details about them? [14:38] Can someone tell me why adobe-flashplugin always appears on my Update Manager list, but always in a grayed out non-selectable manner? I just tried to install it with apt-get and that seems to have worked. Why does UpdateManager not allow it to happen? [14:38] chitebbeiv: you could just do 1 package at a time i guess.. ive never noticed it failing befor tha way [14:38] Aijse, will give it a go, thanks mate [14:38] stevecoh1: because you shoudld use sudo apt-get upgrade instead [14:39] hmm, I just did "install" - not "upgrade" [14:39] chitebbeiv: i just did a --> sudo apt-get install renameutils bloboats blockout2 [14:39] chitebbeiv: and it worked.. even tho i had renameutils and bloboats allready installed.. it just instgalled blockout2 here [14:39] stevecoh1: Do "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" -- Things should roll over. [14:40] will give that a shot. [14:40] Does anyone use mp3blaster and/or can tell me why it complains "cannot open sound device"? [14:42] mobi-sheep: followed your instructions, all it did was to remove some stuff. [14:42] Dear all,how to change swap of size ? [14:42] datta: With Christopher Korn's PPA, you could get vlc-0.9.9a-1~ppa1~hardy5 -- The other choice is to stay with your current VLC version or compile the latest one yourself -- or upgrading to latest Ubuntu. [14:43] hopefully, the manual install of adobe-flashplugin will take care of the problems I've had in viewing film clips in firefox. [14:43] datta: You're sticking with LTS for stability -- which does make senses. VLC should be fine for your files. [14:43] jken: u need to expand the swap partition. try gparted. i guess that what u need to do [14:44] apocalypt: i mounted my drive this boot wanna see the fdisk -l? [14:44] thinks -->apocalypt [14:44] ActionParsnip: You're back! My butterfly came back after it flew away! :) [14:46] tom967: if fdisk doesn't list that drive i guess there is a problem with that drive. fdisk give u a list of HDDs mounted or unmounted that doesn't matter [14:46] apocalypt: i got it now: http://pastebin.com/d70e8190 [14:46] should samba work straight out of the box for ubuntu - ubuntu ? (Right click a folder go to sharing, enable, pops up asking to install the windows sharing service thing, do that, anything else needed? ) [14:46] tom967: now it is mounted? [14:47] hyperstream: no, its optional so will need installing and configuring [14:47] seanh, are you sure it is really at 52Hz? nvidia-drivers tend to lie I think ans say something else than reality. btw, what kind of monitor a normal CRT, or a new thin tft? [14:47] apocalypt: yes it is [14:47] is the ati radeon x1270 card supported under linux? [14:47] and SMART says everything is OK [14:47] Is there any mobile phones that ubuntu can be installed on ? And still work as a phone ( Or any linux os ) [14:47] ActionParsnip, and good guides on this?(with easyest possible step instructions?) [14:47] resjudicata: www.ati.com has the driver [14:47] there does not seem to be any signature for vlc [14:47] tom967: i guess if u loose it again there is a hardware problem.maybe u should backup all files there and change the hdd sometimes [14:47] !samba | hyperstream [14:47] hyperstream: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [14:47] AP, they no longer support that card [14:48] afaik [14:48] resjudicata: check on the site, otherwise you will be using the open driver [14:48] apocalypt: thanks again, I do what you say [14:48] so today all of a sudden my internet stopped working. So I figured if I deleted eth0 from the Wired Network list, it might magically reappear again and start working again. Well I was wrong it seems, but does any of you have any idea on how I could get it back? [14:48] says signature not verified for the ppa [14:48] tom967: np hope it helps [14:49] AP, it's on the amd's side, where's the site for the open source drivers? [14:49] BananasAh: you can define the network in /etc/network/interfaces if its a desktop going nowhere [14:49] * BananasAh is away [14:49] oops [14:49] resjudicata: use tab completion on nicks dude, it highlights the text [14:49] chilli0: don't phone tend to have too little memory? ubuntu needs at least 192MB to even boot I think... [14:49] hello, after switchin to fullscreen in wesnoth, my colors are broken, it seems the the display is 16bit instead of 24bit, how can i change the color-depth in 8.04? [14:49] oh, sorry [14:49] resjudicata: they are part of a standard install [14:50] zoobox, Well you could use the sd card as ram o= [14:50] ahh... [14:50] i have just tried this to get the new version of VLC http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=52870 but there is no signature [14:50] ActionParsnip, problem is I'm buying a new netbook and I want to make sure that it's linux compatible before spending my money on it [14:51] resjudicata: most netbooks use crappy intel vga which will most likely work out of the box [14:51] has anyone ever installed Ubuntu server from a USB optical drive? [14:51] !netbook | resjudicata [14:51] MikeChelen, there's k-encfs, a (kde) gui for encfs, but I simply can't figure out how to install it o_O [14:51] resjudicata: dell mini 9 might be one of the best [14:51] ActionParsnip, not this one, it's based on the amd yukon platform (athlon+ati x1270) [14:51] hi, i'm using Empathy 2.28.1.1 - how do I get a list of "rooms". The "Contact list" -> Room -> Join.. shows a greyed out "server:" and an empty Room list [14:51] ActionParsnip: I added "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" to it (nothing else is in it) then I tried to restart it using "/etc/init.d/networking restart" but that didn't help much as it said "No DHCPoffers received" at the end [14:51] LP: yes [14:52] any reason why my USB DVD drive is not detected? :) [14:52] migi: try the command line then, it's pretty straightforward [14:52] datta:why dont you just try to update it? [14:52] resjudicata: how long can you wait ? [14:52] BananasAh: does it run with sttic ip? [14:52] * BananasAh is away [14:52] dimitar: update what? ubuntu itself? [14:52] datta:no,vlc player? [14:52] dimitar: can't that is the problem [14:52] blackest_knight, I'm free all day :) [14:52] resjudicata: then you'll need the open driver. [14:53] migi: you can also edit the fstab to have the directory loaded through mount command [14:53] there is no package from their site only how to add the PPA [14:53] resjudicata: lol i meant there are some arm netbooks on the way [14:53] oh, lol [14:53] resjudicata: trouble is they never seem to arrive [14:53] datta:run synaptic package manager and then type vlc player and check it for upgrade if available [14:53] Does anyone use JACK! ? [14:53] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks. guess I'll give it a try. [14:54] ManDay:i use JACK? [14:54] ActionParsnip: not really, it changes IP all the time (the outbound one anyway, as I don't think there's an actual network here) [14:54] ManDay: from time to time [14:54] dimitar, blackest_knight was it a pain to set up and get running? [14:54] blackest_knight, and they're miniature, anything less than 11" is unbearable if you ask me [14:54] (with pulse) [14:54] ManDay:not really...:P [14:55] dimitar: nope there is none [14:55] dimitar, blackest_knight you dont happen to use an equalizer with it, do you? [14:55] resjudicata: I use an aspire one 9 inch screen and its good for me the 7inch eee was a bit too small [14:55] ManDay, you should try install qjackctl, and fiddle with the settings there until you get it running [14:55] ManDay: no i mainly installed it to try instead of pulse [14:55] sounds fun migi [14:55] ManDay:i use equalizer...it work fine.. [14:56] instead of pulse? [14:56] i am getting intermittent nvidia gpu errors, how do i find out more details about them? [14:56] platius: is a PIII 1.1Ghz with 387 MB RAM good for a Ubuntu Karmic, or should I try Jaunty? [14:56] i just get a flicker, and the number of recovered GPU errors in nvidia settings goes up by 1. [14:56] datta:damn....try ubuntu software centee [14:56] how can jack be used INSTEAD of pulse? i thought it goes before it? [14:56] datta:center* [14:56] jaceleon: the minimum requirement is exactly the same for both [14:56] jaceleon: I recommend you install XUbuntu for a more responsive system [14:56] hi there [14:57] if you start jack it will disable pulse [14:57] ActionParsnip: but I noticed that karmic is a bit slow on loading, does it mean it uses more RAM? [14:57] I have a new aspire 1 netbook and I can't seem to boot from USB into it [14:57] dimitar: trying it out with synaptic [14:57] blackest_knight, oh... thats not what i want [14:57] is there a way to make jack go through pulse? [14:57] i am using 195.22 drivers, though it also happens on 190.53 drivers [14:57] datta:any success? [14:57] dimitar: no [14:57] ManDay, it's an option in the qjackctl's settings [14:57] kthakore: should just be able to hit f12 and select the usb device [14:58] good night ! all... [14:58] jaceleon: no it uses the same RAM, if you use XUbuntu (Ubuntu + Xfce instead of Gnnome) it will use less RAM. Jaunty still has 10 months of support so is an equally good release to use [14:58] blackest_knight I don't see my usb device in the boot list [14:58] join #ubuntu-cn [14:58] datta:try this [14:59] datta:sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-nox vlc-data [14:59] migi, thanks [14:59] !cn [14:59] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:59] anyone any idea why mp3blaster complains "failed to open sound device"? [14:59] ManDay: can you change the device? [14:59] join #ubuntu-cn [14:59] noodle, who are you talking to? [14:59] datta:any success now? [14:59] kthakore: it might need to be enable d in the bios but i don't remember seeing an option in mine [14:59] dimitar: says it is on the latest version [15:00] MASARUwota, help join #ubuntu-cn [15:00] ActionParsnip, no clue. im an ubuntu user, i expect it to be properly configure upon install, forgot? ;> [15:00] MASARUwota, help me join #ubuntu-cn [15:00] datta:so its up to date? [15:00] Noodle: type /join #ubuntu-cn [15:00] dimitar: but i checked it right now it's 0.8.6 [15:00] datta:you can reinstall it if you want? [15:00] ManDay: maybe your sound device uses a different /dev entry than expected [15:00] !bash [15:00] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:00] MASARUwota, sorry i forget / [15:00] dimitar: yes i can [15:00] ActionParsnip, maybe, ill find out [15:00] MASARUwota, thanks [15:00] blackest_knight, ok let me check [15:00] blackest_knight, thanks [15:00] noodle: no problem =) [15:00] datta:so try to reinstall it?do you know how? [15:01] dimitar: do you know any deb package for vlc? [15:01] ActionParsnip, how do i find out which /dev/* is my sounddevice's [15:01] dimitar: yes i do know how to do that [15:01] datta: vlc is on thr repositories [15:01] !info vlc | datta [15:01] datta: vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 1581 kB, installed size 3788 kB [15:01] is there a way of replacing Default terminal-emulator with terminator? [15:01] So here I am. HP notebook. Happy Ubuntu 9.10 user. And now I need to install dual boot with Windows :( Don't ask why, it has to be done. Easy way: start all over again and begin with Windows. Hard way: Leave Ubuntu as it is and install Windows. [15:01] ManDay: not sure, you'll need to research some. [15:01] Does anyone have a tutorial for that? [15:01] urm [15:02] datta:i dont know deb for vlc....try to completely remove vlc then find installation lines for newest vlc player and install it [15:02] MASARUwota, a small question run war3 by wine but not effective [15:02] How do I find out which /dev/* is my Sounddevice if I got other, running snd applications [15:02] dimitar: okay [15:02] may it be /dev/snd? [15:02] MASARUwota, why?? [15:02] Brooklyn: why not use a virtual machine to install windows ? [15:02] datta:and of course you can share those lines here for us [15:02] VM does not have enough graphic power erUSUL [15:02] ManDay: ls /dev/snd/* [15:02] Noodle: wine doesnt work as good as Windows does. [15:02] Brooklyn: this seems to generally work for people after windows wipes out grub2 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [15:02] datta: haha [15:02] It needs to be dual boot [15:02] trism thank you I will have a look [15:03] Noodle: ask it in #ubuntu-cn if you want more help :) [15:03] Brooklyn: ok; then make a parition for windows install and the restore grub [15:03] MASARUwota, i run it by OpenGL [15:03] MASARUwota, ok gb [15:03] erUSUL, by-path controlC0 hwC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p timer [15:03] hi all, [15:03] Going to give it a try [15:03] thank you [15:03] !hi|muhammad_ [15:03] muhammad_: 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! [15:04] datta:then....any success? [15:04] all right done, [15:04] ManDay: those are the devices of your soundcard [15:04] Is it possible to resize the / partition in ubuntu 9.10? [15:04] oh, how great [15:04] which one is the speaker [15:04] :-/ [15:04] if so then how can i ? [15:04] but still version does not update [15:04] muhammad_: yes, you should use your ubuntu cd, and start from that. then use gparted to resize it. [15:04] muhammad_: from a livecd [15:04] ok thanks [15:04] ActionParsnip: karmic is a bit slow. Will that be addressed in Lucid? [15:04] internet dropped out, works from live cd why? and how do I fix it? [15:04] i got it [15:04] eth0 [15:05] ethernet [15:05] all right, everyone thanks for helping me out as far as you could, i am getting tired and would go back to the last version [15:05] datta:where did you found that about vlc version? [15:05] thanks though for helping [15:05] acovrig: dhcpcd [15:05] dimitar: what version? [15:05] How can I minimize full-screen window? [15:05] I am using gnome [15:05] ManDay: there is no a devive per speaker. that's not how things work [15:06] I have 2 ubuntu systems Desktop and server Cups is running on server. Dsktop prints through server.but I want to add my windows system. to cups, Drivers installed but windows can't connect [15:06] BlouBlou: you cannot [15:06] datta:what version of vlc player you want and what version do you have? :P [15:06] dhcpcd not installed, installing... [15:06] yeah my internet's still not working, and I don't really know the cause.. It just didn't work when I booted my computer this morning, any thoights on what might've caused that? [15:06] MASARUwota: well, and can I switch desktop? [15:06] can't install without internet... [15:06] dimitar: i have 0.8.6 and i want version 1.0.0 [15:06] erUSUL, there should be, its a laptop [15:07] MASARUwota, what else can I do, that isn't installed, and I can't do an apt-get [15:07] all: guys, some guys have created a very weird XP that uses only 64 MB RAM. But I guess using a modded CD with even a genuine license is bad, right...? [15:07] ManDay: what makes you think there is a device per speaker? that's not true. where did your hear that? [15:07] acovrig: /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:07] something like that [15:07] datta: % sudo apt-get update [15:07] % sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc [15:07] jaceleon: ask in ##windows [15:07] erUSUL, tell me what would be right then [15:07] Did anybody in here ever use parallel computing in matlab? [15:07] datta:i hope this will update your vlc player [15:07] !no [15:07] Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [15:08] :X [15:08] dimitar:thank you [15:08] bye then everyone, good day to all [15:08] nope, ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 what? [15:08] ManDay: i dunno what you are trying to do; you asked where the sound card devices are i told you that. What is your real question? [15:08] datta:bye [15:08] acovrig: ipconfig eth0 up [15:08] *ifconfig eth0 up [15:08] which sound card device should i pass to an audio program to use then, erUSUL [15:08] actually, for my PIII Laptop, I prefer Jaunty, but everytime I shut it down, the screen "melts", its scary. Also, it doesn't detect my max resolution and uses 800x600 [15:09] anyone? [15:09] I dont know why is that, that's why I want to ask regarding Karmic. [15:09] then what? [15:09] well mystery solved, or not quite, but at least the internet suddenly started working on its own again [15:09] jaceleon:just install a lightweight distro, instead of using old software :X [15:09] ok then....i have question....why i have two ip adresses...what is my real ip adress [15:10] anyone? [15:10] dimitar: ifconfig -a ? [15:10] dimitar: What are the two that you have? [15:10] then what? [15:10] MASARUwota, what will you advice me? Is crunchbang good enough, or is there a lightweight distro that is Ubuntu based than that? [15:10] I keep getting the error "Failed to open sound device." in mp3blaster. ls /dev/snd yields: "by-path controlC0 hwC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p timer", please help! [15:10] ManDay: audio programs shouldn't use audio device directly. if it is a real old program that only accepts legacy interfaces then you can point it to /dev/dsp [15:10] MASARUwota:thanks man [15:10] ManDay, how about forcing your alsa to restart [15:11] jaceleon, its pulse, not alsa [15:11] please tell me, where is file .bashrc located??? [15:11] erUSUL, idont have /dev/dsp [15:11] then restart pluse using the terminal and the command sudo [15:11] penguin42: on this web site www.whatismyip.com its 93.xxx.xxx.xxx and in network properties its 192.xxx.xxx.xxx... [15:11] jaceleon: ;/ ubuntu isnt really lightweight in any form, crunchbang depends too much on gnome utilities. i would try fluxbuntu [15:11] with gimp if i draw a line quickly it will have corners instead of being nicely round === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [15:11] can i fix this somehow? [15:11] Good morning, all. [15:11] !hi [15:11] 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! [15:11] MASARUwota, what is the system req. of Fluxbuntu? [15:12] ManDay: try this « padsp mp3blaster » [15:12] guys help, where is file .bashrc located??? [15:12] jaceleon: idk [15:12] freeride: ~/.bashrc [15:12] BobXFett:hi....its evening in my place [15:12] thanjks [15:12] freeride: The ~ means your home directory, usually /home// [15:12] dimitar: Where you from? =) [15:12] ward: try #gimp [15:12] jaceleon: if it uses fluxbox the specs should be pretty low but im not sure about the EXACT specs [15:12] freeride: browse to /home/yourusername and press ctrl+h its a hidden file [15:12] erUSUL, that worked. How did you know? [15:12] BobXFett:Serbia....you? [15:12] google for them [15:12] dimitar: whatismyip.com only shows your _external_ IP, and 'network properties' only shows the _internal_ one. [15:12] MASARUwota: no response there anymore [15:12] dimitar: USA. Nice to meet you =) [15:12] then what? (after ifconfig eth0 up) [15:13] dimitar: Your DSL/cable router is probably doing a thing called 'NAT' which lets multiple computers share one external IP address by giving each one their own internal IP [15:13] acovrig: /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:13] ManDay: ubuntu uses pulseaudio. to force mp3blaster to use pulseaudio we can use the padsp wrapper [15:13] erUSUL, so that means mp3blaster is so old that its still trying to use OSS at any cost? [15:13] ManDay: man padsp [15:13] ManDay: correct [15:13] penguin42:ok i understand now...thanks [15:13] then what? that didn't fix it [15:13] grawity: "internal ip" lol? [15:13] grawity:thanks [15:13] wow, EncFS performance is like magic! [15:13] ManDay: you should look to newer console players [15:13] but it didn't say 'unknown eth0=eth0' [15:13] man :-/ seems like the only audio player that suits me is stone old :-( [15:14] grawity: 'local' is usually used, and somepeople only have a internet ip (if they have nothing that does NAT)) [15:14] ward-: IP address. [15:14] i've tried to install the latest ati binary drivers via envyng for the 9600 pro in ubuntu 8.04, now i got a "distorted" login screen and couldnt move the mouse, then i rebooted, used the xfix recovery, got a working login screen which brings me to a white screen where nothing happens tho.. how can i reinstall other drivers, preferably a different version of the ati binary ones, as i think it installed wrong drivers? (textmode only) [15:14] erUSUL, okay maybe you can tell me which I should take: Needs equalizer and should be very very plain [15:14] no one expect from me to know everything...right....in the end...i am just a kid...:D [15:14] So I take it this is the right channel to request some support. I'm having an issue which I have been unable to find any solution for by searching, and was hoping somebody could help me either to correct it or to refine what I'm searching for to find some useful info online. [15:14] BobXFett: so lets hear it [15:14] BobXFett: What's the issue [15:14] ManDay: there are so many audio players [15:15] BobXFett:whats the problem? [15:15] MASARUwota, go ahead, name one that matches (and doesnt use JACK) [15:15] i d love to hear it [15:15] ManDay, VLC is the best player you could get for any distro.... [15:15] im looking for a decent one for half a decade now, id guess [15:15] ManDay: dunno what your requirements are? [15:15] jaceleon, vlc sucks for music. and it crashes when i try to sort the playlist [15:16] Summary of the issue: when I boot up or shut down Ubuntu (9.10), the progress screen (the one with the loading/unloading bar and the text that displays messages such as if a disk check needs to be performed) is corrupt; no ubuntu logo, no normal graphics, but it displays a lot of "test pattern" type imagery, such as black-to-white gradient, primary colors, different shapes, etc. (looks like one of those old "please stand by" TV [15:16] VLC is the best player in any distro so is firefox best browser in any distro [15:16] MASARUwota, nothing much, as i said: It should have a builtin equalizer and a playlist and should be very plain. [15:16] ManDay: mplayer [15:16] VLC is horrible. terrible built-in codecs [15:16] audacious [15:16] ManDay: no i can not... maybe mpd (http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki) with a curses program (Ncmpd) ? [15:16] BobXFett: Sounds like a graphics driver problem - what type of graphics card do you have? [15:16] ManDay: audacious? quodlibet? or just use a console player =) [15:16] audacious isnt really plain nor CLI, ward- [15:16] MASARUwota:VLC is horrible...so what player you use? [15:17] ManDay: you can use mplayer at cli [15:17] ManDay: i didnt see you wanted CLI [15:17] just has to be very plain and simple [15:17] dimitar: mplayer for vids, audacious for music [15:17] i love foobar on windows for example [15:17] dimitar: he means for music most likely [15:17] MASARUwota:Audacious2....:D [15:17] ManDay:QuodLibet is similar to foobar [15:17] I have an nvidia card. I am not sure of the particular model. Some background info which may be useful: I was previously running 8.04. On that install I had modified my boot up splash screen and TTY settings to run in 1440x900 resolution, using the directions at the following URL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622018. I am wondering if something from that change has carried over to the new install and I need to cl [15:18] actually, dimitar, the best version of firefox is actually swiftfox. [15:18] MASARUwota, does it have an equalizer? [15:18] is there GOM player for linux? [15:18] ManDay: idk, give it a shot [15:18] jaceleon: in your opinion... [15:18] ManDay:it have equilazer === slacker_1l is now known as slacker_nl [15:18] dimitar: why would you want that? [15:18] (I am also checking which video card I have right now, will confirm that in a moment) [15:18] well, I go for speed, ActionParsnip.... since my PIII is like way too old... [15:18] MASARUwota:i dont know,i dont want that i just ask becouse i always thought there is GOM player for linux [15:19] jaceleon: i'd say kazehakase personally. but i've dropped firefox now [15:19] dimitar, MASARUwota - i reckon i must have tried it before (cos i almost tried any player with GUI that exist out there), but ill give it another shot, maybe it improved (more stable) [15:19] oh yeah, does quod libet support web streamsß [15:19] ? [15:19] manday: i dont believe that, as you havent tried out most MPD-based ones. [15:19] ManDay: ah now its no longer needed to be a CLI tool and my suggestion is nice? [15:19] ManDay:just install Audacious2 and lean back and enjoy...:D [15:19] is kazehakaze fast, ActionParsnip? [15:19] MASARUwota, mpd ones are not elibble at all because they do not have equalizers [15:20] jaceleon: sure, its also the default in fluxbuntu [15:20] jaceleon: i use chromium, its very fast [15:20] ward-, i had audacious once and it was unstable [15:20] does kazehakaze have plugins like in firefox, ActionParsnip? [15:20] I have a Geforce 8400M GS running restricted nvidia drivers. [15:20] ManDay:give quodlibet a try then :/ also, why didnt you like audacious? it does everything that you describe [15:20] ManDay: be glad that you didnt have XMMS [15:20] :p [15:20] MASARUwota, it crashed and had trouble with web streams [15:20] jaceleon: its firefox based so i'd imagine so [15:20] i had XMMS(2), too, didnt like it either [15:20] ward-:hahahah....yes...thats right! :D [15:21] ManDay: ;/ works fine here and i use it to stream OGG stuff daily. np here [15:21] hi i am looking for a pdf viewer that supports spellchecking; any recommendations? [15:21] ManDay: lol xmms was really messed up imo [15:21] ManDay: if you changed the volume the volume of everything would change :D [15:21] it was liek the master volume slider lol [15:22] xerox1: you could try the openoffice extention [15:22] audacious does the same thing ;/ [15:22] OGG is the default format of music files in Ubuntu right? So what would I use to play my MP3 collection, or what should I install? [15:22] man i really want gimp NOT to mess up my lines :( [15:22] penguin42: does that information seem helpful or pertinent based on my description of the symptom? [15:22] jaceleon: the correct codecs [15:22] jaceleon: it can play mp3's aswell, you can just install the codec [15:22] jaceleon: if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras yuo will be able to decode mp3 [15:22] jaceleon: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:23] amongst other stuff [15:23] Masaru, codecs, so that's in the synaptics? or the terminal apt? [15:23] both. [15:23] ...anyone good at cracking wpa2? [15:23] i hate dell....had to install windows 7 to be able to upgrade my BIOS...now I am just going to install wubi and see if that works. Is wubi a dual boot?

[16:37] sensors is working fine [16:37] MASARUwota, still not working, any ideas? [16:38] Crazy|One, I really do not know how to handle your problem, because I doesn't know how to get the computer to boot the resized partition. but do you have a cdrom drive? [16:38] pepee, you mean you already did : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [16:38] mobi-sheep, like debian? [16:38] MASARUwota: ahh! i did what you said and now when i try to login, it brings me back to the login screen EVERY TIME! [16:38] mobi-sheep, ;) [16:38] X-Sleepy-X: That is distro. I was talking about Pidgin or XChat. Depends on what you're using Empathy for. ;o [16:38] nikolaj_basher yes but no burner, i am currently using the cdrom to run ubuntu livecd [16:38] i think my sound stopped working in 8.04 (it worked with the fresh install) after i updated all the packages and installed the ati legacy binary driver for my radeon 9600. lspci gives me 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) and the speaker symbol was crossed thru after booting, i have it at 20% now [16:38] airtonix, well I didn't want to clutter the chat with it as I thought it was irrelevant, but actually it's not an external hard drive but a raid controller connected to two hard drives (so everything is backed up automatically) but ubuntu creates a /dev/mapper/something device that *should* act the same as if the raid controller was a normal disk [16:39] airtonix, so I'm just going to add the /dev/mapper/thing to /etc/fstab [16:39] fluffy_mcduff: that reinstalled the package. [16:39] is there not a install icon on you desktop [16:39] Hello, is there a way to completely remove mysql and apache, and reinstall a clean installation of LAMP -- it seems I deleted all the stuff inside my user table for the mysql server, and I can't login using phpmyadmin [16:39] migi, good luck (i have no experience with raid) [16:39] MASARUwota: i know, but now i cant login! [16:39] airtonix, neither do I :) [16:39] hello [16:39] mobi-sheep, yeah, i know. but im starting to feel that ubuntu might not be mature enough.... :( [16:39] Hi. I'm trying to run jackd (qjackctl), but it fails with permission error on realtime priority. I have set the limits.conf file and added my user to the group audio, where else can permissions for realtime priorities be set? [16:39] airtonix, yes, i did that [16:39] Crazy|One, Isn't there a instill icon on you disktop [16:39] fluffy_mcduff: not into gnome either? [16:39] gafir, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [16:39] mobi-sheep, i use it for msn [16:39] I'd just like to remove it all and restart with a clean install :) -- everytime I try to reinstall everything, I get an "Abort" from the phpmyadmin visual installation [16:40] How do I get the gui to load? [16:40] X-Sleepy-X: i use emesene for msn. pretty much perfect client =) [16:40] pepee, so you have readouts for other aspects of your hardware sensors then ? [16:40] MA [16:40] airtonix: I've tried to --purge remove all the packages, but I still can't make it work after, I can't log in [16:40] Crazy|One: I wonder if the problem you're having is because you deleted / without backing up. You might need to configure your /etc/fstab -- if that is the reason. (/etc/ alone is only 10mb at most). [16:40] airtonix, maybe one last question: should I add the partition or the drive to /etc/fstab? [16:40] gkrellm shows the temp of cpu [16:40] MASARUwota: nope, not even gnome [16:40] hdd [16:40] nikolaj_basher the livecd is a very old version i found. Its about 3 years old [16:40] migi, no idea when it comes to raid. [16:41] MASARUwota, i couldnt get my buddylist showing in emesene when i last tried it [16:41] fluffy_mcduff: what did you run? sudo apt-get remove [16:41] X-Sleepy-X: :S weird [16:41] and /dev/sg0 (don't know what it is) [16:41] How do I get the gui to load in ubuntu? [16:41] X-Sleepy-X: Gotcha. Well, create an alias to remove the directory. That part is really easy. There are many MSN clients.

USB support is for the birds since 8.10 ... ATI support is gone and DVD playback is a bitch ... what the crap is going on ?

Because I had the exact same problem, but you don't need to take my advice, thats fine :) [17:39] devnull_, clean install might help [17:39] how do i play Windows Media files in firefox? [17:39] I have been playing this game since 9.04 broke ATI support [17:39] I still liked 7.04 best, first version of ubu I used [17:39] and I have already fresh installed numerous ties [17:40] as well as my friends computer has the same exact issues in 9.04+ [17:40] nightfrog`, my understanding, aptitude can sometime try to be too smart, apt maybe safer for normal use (??) [17:40] * om26er says think what you wanna think [17:40] seems like everything is just broken now ... why break support for stuff that has worked in every other version [17:40] I <3 Ubuntu, thanks airtonix, MASARUwota and everyone else who helped me. Everything works fine now. :) [17:42] just frustrated as hell that I only have problems with my hardware since 8.10 and up [17:42] devnull_: such as? [17:43] I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS does support for this version last untill 2013? [17:43] what plays .m3u files??? [17:43] lets see DVD playback .. USB support is iffy at best now ... whch i blame on HAL i suppose ... ATI fglrx is gone because of the new xserver [17:43] I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS does support for this version last untill 2013? or what? [17:44] lengend_: that is a playlist file for winamp [17:44] and no it isn't a hardware issue because it al works fantastic in older versions [17:44] devnull_, did you upgrade every time to the newer versions? Reinstalling - even though it's a pain - can work great [17:44] frojnd, is it sever? [17:44] migi [17:44] i am about ready to [17:44] om26er: yes [17:44] om26er: server [17:44] I did a fresh 9.04 and downgraded the Xserver ... than just wiped it and went back to 8.10 [17:44] frojnd, then yes [17:44] I was hoping 9.10 would fix the usb issue and my ATI issues but it has not ... just made them worse [17:44] om26er: fantastic [17:45] I just have problem connecting to the network [17:45] devnull_, my 9.04 once broke and instead of trying to fix it I just installed a new 9.10, and all problems were gone [17:45] lengend_: and xmms will play them... [17:45] ok [17:45] migi .... i can only hope that would be my answer [17:45] <\bMike\b> Is installing ubuntu on a mac likely to work well? [17:45] lengend_: tetom might as well... [17:45] !xmms | lengend_ switch10_ [17:45] lengend_ switch10_: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead.

[17:46] yea the fresh 9.04 is the first time I noticed any problems with my computer [17:46] xmms2* [17:46] i do have audacious [17:46] hi [17:46] migi: no prob [17:46] I have a question to rsnapshot backups [17:46] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoDjYAfIR94 [17:47] and no matter what I do from 8.10 I can't get any DVD playback which is a pain ... and this is 2 serperate computers with drives that work great [17:47] devnull_, i don't know how to get it fixed in karmic someone might know. but you might be able to help yourself by reporting that bug at bugs.launchpad.net so that this might get fixed in Lucid. [17:47] devnull_, do you have an external home directory? If so, you don't have to lose any of your data and/or settings [17:47] \bMike\b: You just have to be careful. I dual-boot OS X and linux on my intel mac, but it took some time to get right. [17:47] devnull_: did you run the dvdcss script? [17:47] CShadowRun, yes i did [17:47] <\bMike\b> sweetandy: what problems did you run into? [17:47] I followed evreything [17:47] i mean evrything [17:47] switch10_, it is not about not taking your advise it is that I believe that is very unlikely since its completely random i.e. days/weeks/months etc. [17:47] devnull_: blame the industry for putting lame encryption on things :) [17:47] migi: hehe ofcourse 12 years of linx did teach me that much :) [17:47] CShadowRun, I DO [17:48] hehe [17:48] i hate the DVD industry and their bullshit [17:48] Anyone here know if kde-3.5.10 will be available for the 10.04-LTS release? [17:48] \bMike\b: Getting the bootloader right. I would look into the parted magic LiveCD to make your partitions for Linux before putting in the Ubuntu disc. Also, look into rEFIt, an improved bootloader for intel macs. [17:48] we are lucky they haven't installed chips into our computers to stop us from burning yet [17:48] sorry [17:48] I have to remember the language [17:48] I used rsnapshot and performed 3 hourly backups but each of them has the complete size [17:48] 2 strikes [17:48] is there a way to see a history of everything ive installed? [17:48] wine + winamp simple fix [17:48] lol [17:49] I guess I need to pull the source for it [17:49] devnull_: actually they have, a trusted computing chip together with an appropriate operating system can achieve that... [17:49] I think it made full backup an not with links as it should do for unchanged Folders [17:49] devnull_, is it because of the DRM? or no dvd's at all work? [17:49] ljl i figured as much [17:49] migi: no DVD playback on any DVD at all === ardnew_ is now known as ardnew [17:49] wether copy protected or not [17:49] on 2 seperate computers [17:50] with fully functioning DVD burners .... just get the no media found [17:50] anyone here tried FF 3.6 on ubuntu [17:50] oh well then I can't help you, sorry :) My knowledge doesn't exceed google's, and I'm sure you asked Google before :) [17:50] devnull_: is this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs what you've followed?

[17:50] hello Fabrice [17:50] i have a problem can anyone help me [17:50] but that isn't my main concern ... i am more worried with all this USB enumeration in my log files that only started in8.10 [17:50] !anyone | Fabrice [17:50] !help | Fabrice [17:50] Fabrice: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:50] Fabrice: 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. :-) [17:51] lol [17:51] Fabrice, as you can see, we are all eager to help :-) [17:51] ljl that looks like one that I have followed ... sorry for the typing .. my display is so laggy I am a minute ahead of my screen [17:51] how i hate ATI with the most passion [17:51] devnull_: me too... [17:52] devnull_, throw it out? [17:52] and another note ... I do blame the industry for the DVD issues ... but if windows can read it Linux can ... and if Linx isn't reading it than it is a Ubuntu problem [17:52] internal readeon express 200m on my Laptop [17:52] Okay i m a new ubuntu user and i love it. But my w-lan signal is very low. With Windows XP i have 75% and with ubuntu i don get a signal. When i took my laptop and go to my rooter i have 20%. With Windows XP i have next to my modem 100% [17:52] devnull_, ohhh [17:52] om26er, yea i wish i could replace it [17:52] how i wish :) [17:53] devnull_: ive seen some quirks with the player programs accessing dvd's if i mount them and tell the player to 'play the directory' they can play them. Not sure what the deal was with it. in 9.10 i had the issue.. then it started working properly [17:53] Fabrice, which version of ubuntu? [17:53] devnull_: i have the same card... 200m. works great with 9.10's open source drivers [17:53] Fabrice: This could be due to a few things. Have you tried an older/newer driver for your particular card? Also, have you searched the forums for help with your particular card model? [17:53] switch10_, radeon ? [17:53] om26er, do you have actual problems with the wlan connection or is it just that the signal strength seems too low? [17:53] Dr_Willis, if i could mount the dvd i would be happy [17:53] err, Fabrice ^ [17:53] this is all before mounting [17:53] Oh my card is intern, i have a Acer Extensea 5230E [17:53] devnull_ i also had a odd quirk where i installed with a flash drive installed.. and the dvd device /dev/XXXX was some how confused with the one of the usb device in the fstab [17:53] before layers [17:53] I have the version 9.10 [17:53] devnull_: if you cant even mount it. thats a deeper issue then [17:54] devnull_: xpress 200m in my laptop... [17:54] switch10_, awesome I can only hope [17:54] Seveas, me or Fabrice as i am not the one with the problem [17:54] And no i don try a other driver becouse i dont know how to install this [17:54] Yes many have the problem in differents forum [17:54] s [17:54] devnull_: put in a 9.10 live CD it worked for my by default!! [17:54] Fabrice, are you having any internet performance problem ? [17:54] I will be wiping and reinstalling later i suppose ... this is remind me of my wiindows days fo formatting all the time .. i don't like that in linux [17:55] devnull_: first ubuntu distro to do that.. [17:55] switch10_, i have had the open source working fine in 8.10 once [17:55] switch10_, i like the sound of that [17:55] Yes i have a w-lan problem with my Computer the internet works perfekt [17:55] perfect [17:55] devnull_: yeah i struggled with them in 8.10. there is a new driver now though.. [17:55] Dr_Willis, yea there is something up ... it sounds like the DVD reading libs are not installed but I have installed them multiple times [17:55] switch10_, yea in 9.04 it made my system crawl [17:56] devnull_: but to read them as a data disk.. theres no real libs needed. Does the disk read normal dvd data disks yuve made? how about data cd's ? [17:56] Dr_Willis, the drive reads everything but Movie DVDs [17:56] I burn DVD's every day [17:56] I want to replace gdm with slim on 10.04 Alpha 1 but when I reboot it still starts gdm instead of slim [17:56] do u have css installed? [17:57] I am not able to run sudo apt-get update [17:57] maybe a region issue ... but i can't use regionset because it doesn't recognize any dvds [17:57] devnull_: the only differnce i can think of is the dvd;s are using the UDF filesystem [17:57] ci have udf support [17:57] i have css installed [17:57] it says not able to download files [17:57] i have read every forum post I can find [17:57] and followed every step from ubuntu [17:57] is there a deb package for komodo?

[18:04] vonadhz: please tell us which file you want to copy to /boot [18:04] vonadz: why dont u try sudo chmod code /boot [18:04] Well, I learned something: Don't make a /tmp filesystem thing to speed up firefox like the Internet tries to tell you, because it messes up screen, tor, localhost in general, apparently, and gpm. Does anyone feel they could assist me in fixing this? I think suspect most of it is permissions issues of some sort [18:04] !danger | george__ [18:04] i installed ubuntu(9.10) on my friends emachine and on another netbook dell a1011. jockey offered to install drivers so i installed the open-source rebooted and wifi did not work. but properietry driver worked on both machines [18:04] george__: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

I put my canon powershot on, it shows the first image in the memory on the screen and freezes there. In windows it would switch to black screen and some transfer mode. I check sudo fdisk -l, but I cannot see it, what should i do [18:06] i have a command that accesses hardware that is requiring sudo (it used to not before i updated to 9.10). How do I make it so that the command no longer requirees sudo? [18:06] hlfshell: /etc/sudoers [18:06] hlfshell: edit the sudoers file properly where the command wont need a sudo password (best way) or.. (bad way) set the suid bit on the program. [18:07] okay [18:07] how do i edit the file? [18:07] hlfshell: very very very carefully. :) [18:08] hlfshell, gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers [18:08] and make a backup [18:08] yes [18:08] do that [18:08] Hmm i think its best to use the visudo command [18:08] well i know that - but whats the syntax is hould be using? [18:08] !visudo [18:08] Surlent777: use visudo to edit the file [18:08] visudo - edit the sudoers file [18:08] hlfshell: thers web sites/docs that detail the syntax. they should give examples you can modify [18:08] it's in the name, must be useful [18:08] thanks guys [18:08] theres a LOT more to 'sudo' then 'the command ya run to get root acesss' :) [18:09] hey [18:09] it said this [18:09] sudo is hashed (/usr/bin/sudo) [18:09] cp is /bin/cp [18:09] bash: type: tuxy.tga: not found [18:09] bash: type: /boot: not found [18:09] vonadhz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I recommend changing your password [18:10] his [18:10] sudo is hashed (/usr/bin/sudo) [18:10] cp is /bin [18:10] vonadhz: i just edited the proper /etc/grub.d file and give it a complete path to a file i named 'grubimage.png' in /boot/ the way they do the syntax/path is a bit annoying.

[18:11] oh [18:11] so how do i do it [18:11] can u tell me the commands [18:11] i saw some tutorial/guide on making grub2 automatically use whatever wallpaper the (main) user selected. :) [18:11] yeah it's a scipt [18:11] script even [18:12] this is the pic name [18:12] guess I will start over from scratch...not sure why MS win 7 decided to make two partitions: everything and 256MB partition....weird [18:12] /home/tejas/Pictures/tx.jpg [18:12] also I may be thinking of KGrub and not StartupManager [18:12] startupmanager does it too Surlent777 [18:12] ? [18:12] not for grub2 [18:12] gotmilk82: win7 makes a special 'boot' type partition. that must be the smaller one.

[18:14] ah, I gave up on windows years ago, but my company wants it on the machine...so I thought I would try wubi. I guess I could just give up and do a true dual boot, but I like the idea of being able to share part of the drive with windows with wubi [18:14] frankely: I think when you save in PP07 you need to use something other than the default save format, come to think of it =/ [18:14] thansk [18:14] vonadhz: i normally change in /etc/grub.d/ 05_debian_theme the line --> {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga} to be somthing like.... {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/grubimage.png [18:14] Zargle: right click on your speaker and go to sound preferences. make sure ubuntu is detecting your hardware [18:14] vonadhz: then i can just change the grubimage.png file as i want [18:15] lol i dont get it [18:15] hi, i wanted to install a bz2 file, but after i extract it, what do i do? [18:15] the fact is [18:15] that i get those files for my college [18:15] im a ubuntu noob [18:15] and i need to read them [18:15] lolmac: that depends [18:15] vonadhz: then you may want to readup on the grub2 wiki pages.. or not worry about it at this time [18:15] can u send me a pastebin url [18:15] with the commands [18:15] lolmac: on what is in the archive [18:15] vonadhz: not really.. all i did w3as edit that one file to givbe it a proper path to a png file. [18:15] frankely: Yes, that could be an issue...I'd suggest scouring google to see if anyone else knows what to do =/ [18:15] oCean_: it`s quassel irc [18:15] vonadhz: and thats about all i did. [18:15] u cant send me the commands??? [18:15] I'm running into an issue with evolution where it is prompting to setup my accounts and I already have. I just resolved a full /home issue but I have checked and found evolution files within my .config folder. Can someone help me to reassociate the config files or fix this issue? I am afraid of setting up the same accounts again and losing my previous settings/files. [18:16] oCean_: i can`t use ./configure [18:16] Where should I start in troubleshooting a system broken by a messed-up install of Dansguardian? [18:16] the common result in google is use wine [18:16] vonadhz: i dident use any commands.. i edited the file and changed the path on like 51 [18:16] lolmac: quassel is in repos [18:16] n i dont want emulate nothing :( [18:16] !info quassel | lolmac [18:16] lolmac: quassel (source: quassel): KDE4/Qt based, IRC client.

[18:16] because in ubuntu software center it was so slow [18:17] the download [18:17] vonadhz: tell you what? i just told you what the line sort of looked like.. and how i changed it.. [18:17] can`t i install this b2z file? [18:17] wat line? [18:17] btw... is it licensing that keeps ubuntu from just using thunderbird as its default mail client? [18:17] lolmac: maybe you can, but keep in mind that possible dependencies are not resolved [18:17] al_X: go to sound preferences and see if your hadrware is detected [18:17] lolmac: a bz2 file? Source code? Why not just install it normally? [18:17] wat line Dr willis [18:18] lolmac: also, the HOWTO on building and installing should be on the site where you downloaded the sources.

Trying to build, configure and install stuff like that from source (especially drivers (double especially closed source video drivers)) is hard [18:19] oCean_: [18:19] okay [18:19] thanks [18:19] Surlent777: i read the wrong # :) it has 51 lines total.. heh [18:19] if [ "$GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT" = "gfxterm" ] ; then [18:19] for i in {/boot/grub/grubimage.png} ; do [18:19] ah, I see [18:20] vonadhz: then you edit /boot/grub/grubimage.png as you want.

It is still gui like software center and performs very well [18:27] gps23: what are you trying with echo? [18:27] dtoole, it's better because it keeps track of dependencies better; one side effect is that if you uninstall a package and it detects that no other apps are using libraries that were installed with it, it removes them, too [18:27] VCoolio, echo is displaying visible ^C on doing Ctrl-C since i accidently did echo marti17: i don't have much experience with nvidia cards so i can't be of much more help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia check that page [18:28] Blakkheim: Ok thank you [18:28] Surlent777: Is apt-get an older protocol (or program or whatever) than aptitude? === jose is now known as Tio_rico [18:28] dtoole, that much I am ignorant of =/ [18:28] dtoole: they do the same jobs. apt-get is the grandfather I guess ya can say. :) it hink [18:28] aptoncd doesnt list all the packages i have installed [18:28] probably [18:29] only the recent ones [18:29] dtoole: they are different front-ends for the same database [18:29] Dr_Willis: Thanks... was curious about that [18:29] ipnk: it checks the cache.

[18:29] I'm curious to know how to fix screen, gpm, tor, and localhost in general =/ [18:29] dtoole: apt-get doesn't remove dependencies when you remove an app, you also need to apt-get autoremove; aptitude does remove deps and has a cli interface [18:29] guntbert: I guess what I don't understand is why they aren't equivalently effective then [18:29] how to do that [18:29] grayghost: theres a xml file in the directory where teh images are. that defines the changeing times [18:29] grayghost, if you look at the backgrounds, you'll notice one is space and has a play button, if using 9.10.

[18:35] dtoole, np, sorry I couldn't help...I'm actually learning mutt right now [18:35] i was trying to clean up my applications menu and i may have deleted something [18:35] riverbird, never do stuff like this on a mounted partition, ever. Do it from the LiveCD/USB [18:35] Surlent777: not even sure what mutt is :) [18:35] Is there a way to go through several hundred files and automatically find and replace a specific word? [18:36] but your previous advice worked oCean [18:36] brandon__: have you tried as i said ? [18:36] brandon__: aha! [18:36] dtoole, mutt is a CLI based mail client that's retardedly complicated =) [18:36] mac9416: yes i did all of them through synaptic or using apt-get install, but it shows only the recently installed only and not all of them previously installed [18:36] yes i got it thanks :) [18:36] Surlent777, got it. thx. will give a go. [18:36] what did i do to mess it up? [18:36] brandon__: not sure about that [18:36] riverbird, also, what I was doing was basically moving partitions around and it was crazy and messy. Be sure you're ready for frustration and high risk [18:36] Surlent777: sounds like the perfect thing to learn then (sarcastic) why mutt? why not something less complicated? you looking for the flexibility? [18:36] ipnk, right, it deletes them after one month. Use 'aptitude download ' to get them regardless of whether they are installed. [18:37] i still get that failed thing when i put it in terminal [18:37] dtoole, I'm looking for the geek cred =D Also I was bored and it seemed like a neat project [18:37] should i put it on the forums? [18:37] jumbers: it is possible. You might need to script a little though [18:37] Network Manager in jaunty will not connect to my WEP secured network, it just does the circle thing for 2mins then re-requests the password, and i keep typing it directly off the box yet nothing happens...so its leaving me with no ability to connect to my Network... [18:37] Surlent777: lol, is that like street cred in the linux community? [18:37] mac9416: ok i will give it a try [18:37] xserver is the interface of ubuntu? [18:37] hello, I am having an issue after I installed a system update today on ubuntu 9.10; all of my services ( http, ftp, ssh, mysql ) are not starting automatically and my boostrap is displaying the following message -> "Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing". can anyone help me with this issue? [18:37] jumbers: sed/awk/cut [18:37] i've even tried restarts same issue [18:37] Surlent777: ah, you a programmer at all? [18:38] dtoole, No, but I really want to learn [18:38] how can i "see" whats in apt-get? [18:38] lolmac: see how exactly? [18:38] Surlent777: there's some useful geek cred ideas to devote time too (possibly instead of obscure mail programs ;) [18:38] lolmac: aptitude search or dpkg --get-selections [18:38] grawity: if a program is there [18:38] thanks [18:39] Where does Karmic store Firfox proxy settings? [18:39] lolmac: I have said it multiple times... SYNAPTIC [18:39] dtoole, I'm working on that right now by figuring out how to recover after a failed experiment in making firefox use /tmp (RAM) for the cache [18:39] lolmac: In the repository? apt-cache search, aptitude search, synaptic. [18:39] lolmac: Installed in the local machine? dpkg -l [18:39] thanks oCean I'm going to put this other error on ubuntuforums and see if they have an idea. [18:39] Surlent777: ooh... I was thinking about that same project [18:39] dtoole, basically gpm, screen, and localhost hate me now [18:39] dtoole, also tor [18:40] Surlent777: OT or pm? were not really on topic here :) [18:40] but it starts downloading, that means to let it go to a place from aptoncd look into, i will have to download all the packages again, this isn't possible for me, is there any other way. [18:40] dtoole, if you think you can help, by all means, please try. If not, I'm fine with PM [18:41] Dr_Willis: do you have ubuntu and kubuntu as duel boot or are you running them in Virtualbox or something [18:41] ipnk, I'm afraid not really. APT deletes downloaded package files after a month. [18:41] oCean_: Found it: http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/linux_search_and_replace_multiple_files.php [18:41] Surlent777, what really got me into this was two things. first was that the two linux distros put themselves at opposite ends of the disc. second was that i downsized swap significantly and now i have about 2gb of loose change free space floating around and disconnected from the rest of the open space. and i would like to stick in a /home partition somewhere .. [18:42] ipnk, if you want a simpler interface, you should look at Keryx. It's purpose is to download packages and dependencies for installation offline. I assume that's what you're shooting for. [18:42] but thanks anyway, i came to know as to why the initial packages were not listed there [18:42] riverbird, that's similar to what my situation was, and the way I resolved it was to drag stuff around, up and down, forcing the unallocated space into something. It was really weird and I can't describe it too well === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud [18:42] What is the name of that multimedia package ubuntu won't include in its standard repositories because of legal issues? [18:42] <[-jon-]> has anyone ran quotas on ubuntu before? is there a large overhead associated with running them? [18:42] jmyers, ubuntu-restricted-extras? [18:42] can anyone help me out, i update ubuntu 9.10 today and all my daemons are no auto starting up! [18:42] ipnk, cool, why were they missing? [18:43] Surlent777: that doesn't sound like it, had something to do with multimedia [18:43] to use 9.10 64bit or not use 64bit, that is the question? Did the compatibility for 64bit get better in 9.10? [18:43] jymers: isn't it ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [18:43] jumbers: aha, nice. I just pasted http://pastebin.com/m73db8049 as a very straightforward example [18:43] Surlent777, thanks for the front end advice. think i'll go readup 100 wikis .. ;-) [18:43] i meant you just told me that apt deletes them after a month, (if i got right what you said)! [18:43] jmyers, that package has a ton of multimedia codecs [18:43] jumbers: just be sure to backup the files before trying when you're not 100% sure :) [18:44] iMatter: It could be, got a link to a wiki to install it? [18:44] ipnk, ah, OK. Yes, that's what I meant. [18:44] oCean_: I did, but it worked perfectly :P [18:44] Surlent777: yeah, the one with all the multimedia codecs, that's the one. [18:44] riverbird, good luck dude...just experiment a little with tugging it around and see if you can figure out what I mean. Be careful, and maybe take screenshots as you go for reference [18:44] ok, then. [18:44] ipnk, sorry the news is no better than that. [18:44] ok. [18:45] jymers: not exactly a wiki but...close enough: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/04/5-things-to-do-after-installing-jaunty.html [18:45] i'll try to find some alternative [18:45] jymers: its the 4th one [18:45] Surlent777: I want to be able to watch dvd's on my box, and I'm thinking there may be some stuff in there to help with my AMD64 ATI driver woes. [18:45] Help! How do I unlock proxy settings in Firefox 3.5? [18:45] jmyers, google around for medibuntu. That might help you a lot. [18:46] Surlent777: YESS, medibuntu was it. [18:46] ipnk, roger. Look into Keryx if you can't find anything better. [18:46] Surlent777: thankya.

What program is used to display the initial graphical boot screen before Xsplash kicks in? Where the Ubuntu Logo fades in and out? [19:04] what is better kde or xfce? [19:05] dimitar, that's very subjective [19:05] dimitar: matter of opinion [19:05] decomp505: have you rebooted or logged out since you deleted the file? [19:05] Blakkheim: where do I enter the version I want? [19:05] dimitar, if you want my opinion, I prefer KDE [19:05] rohedin, I think that's usplash [19:05] Surlent,blakkheim i want your oppinions? [19:05] Sattvic: that upgrades everything to the latest. you might need to do it multiple times since you are skipping multiple versions of ubuntu. it might just be easier to wipe and do a clean install of 9.10 [19:05] !best [19:05] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:05] So it's still usplash in 9.10? OK, thanks. [19:05] dimitar: i don't use either one === Unregistered is now known as Dusldin [19:05] hello [19:06] dimitar, KDE is more Windows-like in look and feel, whereas XFCE feels more like a simpler GNOME [19:06] blakkheim:what do you use? === Dusldin is now known as Dusl [19:06] dimitar: awesome and openbox [19:06] hello [19:06] Anyone know anything about udev in 9.10?

SoftMaker Office for Linux free ..... http://loadandhelp.de/home-en.html ... finally good office software [19:08] zoobox:yes thats right,,,i wanted to see what you think about gnome,kde and xfce...? [19:08] Gnome FTW! Not to start a flame war, but gnome has always felt most familiar to me being a wintard. [19:08] WizzKidd: Your question doesn't make sense, are you computers connected together by usb? [19:08] skrite hey [19:08] jmyers, that was my reason for loving KDE =D [19:08] SandGorgon: what's wrong with openoffice? [19:08] dimitar: one difference is that xfce eats less memory I think === Guest33856 is now known as Sharker [19:09] XFCE eats minimal memory [19:09] then GNOME [19:09] usually, I think [19:09] and KDE eats the most memory [19:09] :D [19:09] yeah, usually, I think [19:09] SandGorgon what did openoffice do now! [19:09] VCoolio: Unfortunately my proxy settings are locked, so I can't change them through the network preferences gui, and since my browser is broken, I can't look it up online. [19:09] xfce only uses a little bit less than gnome. if you want less memory usage you shouldn't be using any desktop environment. [19:09] Surlent777: To each his own I presume. They are all very familiar, just minor differences. Or they were years ago when I was into linux more heavily. === Sharker is now known as Guest70400 [19:09] is there a text/alternative installation style for ubuntu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:17] Masumex, I just told you...open that program. Use the arrow keys to navigate, and I think space to toggle mutable things on and off.

I've been googling and the native driver and ndis aren't working === sheep is now known as Guest84032 [19:20] CyL, should atleast think it does, since it finds my wireless networks, but i think there is some compability problems with WEP and WPA [19:20] Typh: Reinstall it and uninstall it I guess? I've never tried doing it that way [19:20] CyL ur wireless card?? [19:20] Surlent777: if the makefile is the same it will probably work [19:20] I changed the source. Hrm. [19:20] geekback: mine is an internal atheros, probably trough usb, why? [19:20] I have some general questions about compiling from source. I've been doing this for years but just the occasional program. The problem I have is figuring out what devs need to be installed. Is there a sort of easy-for-ubuntu way of compiling programs?

[19:21] Typh... that is what I was after!! [19:22] dath: have you tried searching for that package in synaptic? [19:22] geekback: I was trying to help fuzzy_ with his wireless card... [19:22] usually makes little sense to compile a package that's already in the repos [19:22] ok, im in alsamixer, now what do i do? [19:22] So will that work with any source [19:22] CyL lol... :D [19:22] Hi [19:23] daf_: Hopefully :D. I just discovered it yesterday [19:23] Masumex, press H, read, follow its advice. You need to find anything that could possibly be related to CAPTURE or MIC [19:23] Surlent777 I have ran into numerous times where the INSTALL doesn't have anything in it.

[19:32] i have this problem with network manager when i configure pppoeconf, it shows a message "not managed" [19:32] LewisDre4m: WORST case scenario, if you have a windows installation cd, is to install Virtual Box, install windows in that, and try to run your usb tv stick thru that. [19:32] ye I guess. [19:32] it just seems as if ubuntu doesn't even recognise my usb thing at all. [19:32] anyone here know anything about hackint0sh?

[20:47] terlop: it can go in several different files. placing it in .bashrc is fine and will continue working for every new instance of bash you start [20:47] hello [20:47] (again) [20:48] ardnew, i don't know how to edit .bashrc [20:48] lgc: OK, close all your Firefox windows, and ensure that there are no firefox processes at all running (ps aux | grep firefox). [20:48] i am affraid i'll break anything [20:48] terlop: it goes in no file by itself - its just in memory [20:48] lgc: Then try starting it from the commandline again. [20:48] anyone know any decent place for downloading drivers for ubuntu? [20:48] I think I managed to mount my secondary partition but I still get an error message [20:48] is there an emulator for wm6 [20:48] Aindriu: You shouldn't. Why do you think you need to? [20:48] when I click on the partition name, it says mount: /dev/sda5 already mounted or /home/zelrik/BackupDisk busy [20:48] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda5 is already mounted on /home/zelrik/BackupDisk [20:49] is there an emulator for wm6 (windows mobile 6) === Guest43510 is now known as Sharker [20:49] wgrant, I need drivers for my motherboard i think === Sharker is now known as Guest17373 [20:49] Aindriu: You are probably mistaken. Why? [20:50] hi [20:50] terlop: type this at a command line: echo 'export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/Desktop"' >> ~/.bashrc [20:50] and then restart bash [20:50] well, the ethernet on the motherboard isnt working, and neither is the inbuilt sound card on the motherboard [20:50] thanks [20:50] wgrant, it's 3.5 now. But I don't see any logic. [20:51] what program controls alt-tab task switching? I seem to have disabled it [20:51] lgc: How did you start it before? [20:51] Typh: for me, ccsm [20:51] lgc: I suspect that is pointing to the wrong thing (it should just run 'firefox') [20:51] oh, yeah that'd make sense [20:52] wgrant, from the panel or from the drop-down menu. I even tried running /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 and it got me Version 2. [20:52] anyone knows how to convert rmvb to avi in ubuntu9.10? [20:53] ok so I'm a little confused... if, for instance, I want to stop apache from starting by default in any runlevel I should just do... service apache2 stop && update-rc.d apache2 disable [20:53] is that right? [20:53] phantomsv: why don't you install realplayer? [20:53] lgc: That will happen if there are any other Firefox 2.0 processes running. Try closing all the windows again, making sure nothing's still running, and then launch via all those methods. Firefox does a strange thing where it communicates between instances of itself, so it will always launch the version that is already running. [20:54] and if it is, then will it remove the actual /etc/init.d/apache2 script or just the rc?.d K and S scripts === Guest17373 is now known as Sharker [20:54] VCoolio, i want to convert it. [20:54] also then what is the point of the /etc/default/apache2 option for it not to start? [20:54] sorry if this is confusing but the docs are just not clear [20:54] seme: Just the rc?.d scripts will be removed. === Sharker is now known as Guest61171 [20:54] whats the difference between adm and admin [20:54] groups [20:55] dtoole: adm is there for historical reasons. I think it pretty much just allows access to logs, these days. [20:55] hardy. copying an 500 mb file, from ide ext3 to ide ntfs with cp is very slow, 10 KB/s. no other process access the ntfs. however, it is very slow to even complete an "ls" command. ext3 works very fast if copying to itself, it's ok. also, the ntfs is ok under win xp. what could be the problem with the ntfs? how could i solve it? [20:55] dtoole: admin lets people use sudo and other admin tools. [20:55] phantomsv: mencoder seems to be able to do it === luist_ is now known as ltcabral [20:56] ok... so I'm thinking I should chown a backup partition to the admin group... would that be a good choice? [20:56] seme: It's "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove" if you want to remove it from the startup. Apache2 and it's startup script are still installed but removed from the runlevels. [20:56] wgrant: or would you recommend a different group [20:56] wgrant, OK, that makes "sense", if I can call it that. I'm removing 2.0 now since it won't do much good. [20:56] is there a easy way to find out how many block group a partion has without mounting it? [20:56] lgc: Welcome to the world of Firefox insanity! [20:57] dtoole: admin is probably a reasonable choice. [20:57] is that the right way to manage the services? I mean then what is the point of the /etc/default/jetty having a NO_START option? [20:57] or is this just more inconsistency... meaning each package kind of does things differently [20:58] wgrant, that's why I'm switching to Chrome, with its KISS approach. But mine doesn't display PDFs (just a black tab). It's a beta release. [20:58] seme: If you want to add it back to the startup, do the following: sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults [20:58] phantomsv: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104161 explains some stuff, seems sensible [20:58] can someone explain this one to me: # chown root:admin My\ Passport/ [20:58] chown: changing ownership of `My Passport/': Operation not permitted [20:58] lgc: I use Chromium. When I navigate to a PDF, it downloads it as I would expect. [20:58] rob_p: thanks... any insite on the /etc/default stuff? [20:58] dtoole: You can only chown if you are root. [20:58] I'm just trying to understand [20:58] wgrant: that was from a root prompt === Guest61171 is now known as Sharker [20:59] wgrant, maybe Chromium is better than Chrome...:). [20:59] wgrant: I tried sudo as well before sudo su'ing and it also failed [20:59] can anyone help me with a question? [20:59] dtoole: You probably have some non-POSIX filesystem on that device. [20:59] dtoole: eg. FAT32 or NTFS. === Sharker is now known as Guest74440 [20:59] !ask | minivan [20:59] minivan: 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. :-) [20:59] * seme wishes that the ubuntu gods would write up some standards and only allow packages if they pass a minimum set of standards, ie documentation, conformance to ubuntu standards, etc [20:59] hey this is my first time here [20:59] seme: /etc/default gives you options for many of the daemons on the system. Sometimes their entries in /etc/default give you a quick way of disabling the service without removing their startup scripts from the runlevels. [20:59] lgc: It's open source, and I know Google isn't spying on me too much... [20:59] wgrant: I do... ntfs... I'll ignore that one for now [20:59] Can i ask a simple question [21:00] !ask [21:00] !ask [21:00] !ask [21:00] 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).

I haven't seen any differences between chome and chromium [21:00] hi, does anyone know the default music player that comes built in ubuntu 9.10? [21:00] lolmac: Rhythmbox, as with all previous releases. [21:00] My Frostwire is freezing and also my mozilla [21:00] why? [21:00] wgrant, I wonder why it took them so long to release it. The Windows version has been there for long. [21:00] seme: ...but the general method of controling auto start of services is through the update-rc.d command. [21:01] wgrant, when it searches for mp3 and wma it doesn't find no codecs this is normal? [21:01] lgc: There was a lot of porting work because of, among other things, the multi-process sandboxing model. [21:01] mp3 and wma codec [21:01] lgc: I did read that the chromium community helped them get chrome out the door [21:01] lolmac: No, that's not normal.

The desktop doesnt fit in the monitor space, therefore I cannot see any toolbars [21:01] new ubuntu 9.10, webcam is not working. [21:01] is there a way to adjust margins? [21:01] hello everyone! i'm looking for some help with data recovery. not sure how it happened but my external HD is now empty (500.1 GB Media, used to be called EXTHD with a good few hundred gig on it). i've downloaded testdisk but have no idea how to use it [21:01] any solution for that ? [21:02] minivan: you running an ATI video card, aren't you? [21:02] yes [21:02] Crocojet, try installing cheese [21:02] CrocoJet, try installing cheese [21:02] jac0, let me see [21:02] wgrant, dtoole, excuse my ignorance, but I am just finding out that Chromium actually exists. I thought it was wgrant's typo! [21:02] rob_p, one last question... do you know what the ?, +, - mean when you run a service --status-all [21:02] jmyers: yes [21:02] minivan: I'm dealing with the same struggle. Actually installing the drivers right now (AGAIN) after finding lots of libraries and what not. I'll let you know how it goes. :/ [21:02] lgc: Chromium existed on Linux for a long time before Chrome. [21:02] lgc: And it's completely open source. === Kabuto is now known as suigeneris [21:02] jmyers: thanks [21:02] lgc: yeah chromium has been out for a long while [21:03] lgc: (and it existed on Windows for a long time before that) [21:03] jac0, webcam turn on but only black screen at cheese [21:03] minivan: ATI / AMD support of linux is pretty weak in the video department so far. [21:03] minivan: at least, that's my opinoin. [21:03] wgrant, dtoole, gotta give it a try then! [21:03] anyone know how to restart usb mouse from command line it stops working after a while in karmic [21:03] jmyers: But the open source drivers work pretty well, particularly in what will become Ubuntu 10.04. [21:03] jmyers: ive known that... its just that i have no problems other than using on my panasonic tv [21:03] I have "Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0ac8:0302 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0302 Webcam" [21:04] jmyers: if its hooked into a regular monitor it works fine === Guest74440 is now known as Sharker [21:04] wgrant: they 'work', but the acceleration sucks. [21:04] wgrant, is there anyway for me to add music shortcuts to this player? [21:04] its pleomax webcam samsung [21:04] minivan, jmyers: getting ubuntu in proper res on my HDTV just required me to generate the correct modeline for my display (using the TVs user manual) and adding it to my xorg.conf [21:04] always works pretty nice at ubuntu 9.04 [21:04] minivan: it has something to do with the hdmi output [21:04] jmyers: I have nice fairly fast open source 3D acceleration on my Radeon HD 3400, without the need for awful fglrx. [21:04] CrocoJet, the webcam intergrated? [21:04] every attempt X11 tried to auto-detect caused the screen to be awkwardly placed on screen === Sharker is now known as Guest46716 [21:04] ardnew: Did you file a bug? [21:04] wgrant: I'm about to reboot and let you know. lol, stand by [21:04] hello guys im newbie and i need help to install a tar.gz. file,... can u help me pls??? [21:04] jac0, desktop computer and its regular camcorder [21:04] wgrant: no I didnnt think it was an ubuntu bug [21:04] look this is the readme of the file: http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/fWPd7sqJ1H [21:04] what do i need to do??? [21:04] wgrant, dtoole, according to Synaptic, I got it installed, but it's some game! [21:05] wgrant, in other player i could add music shortcuts, because i have 80gb of music, so it was added rapidly, this rhythmbox appears to take a long long time [21:05] lgc: Hm? [21:05] ardnew: Are you using fglrx? [21:05] wgrant, a game, not a browser. [21:05] seme: Perhaps the manpage can shed some light. I don't use service command often. [21:05] wgrant, chromium-bsu. [21:05] lgc: yeah... someone is taking advantage of a naming thing... the instructions for it are online [21:05] it involves installing a ppa [21:05] lgc: Ah. That's been renamed to chromium-bsg recently. You want chromium-browser, for which you'll need to install the chromium-daily PPA ('add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily') [21:05] TECNOPATA: what are you trying to install? did you search the repos? [21:06] lgc: bsu, oops, not bsg, right. [21:06] Really quick question: where do I find out how to map sounds to events? [21:06] lgc: the package name will be chromium-browser [21:06] rob_p, thanks... yeah I've beengoing through the man pages... haven't figured it out yet but thanks for your help [21:06] many things change in 9.10 if compared with 9.04 about video ? [21:06] I'm trying to find a sound file for the "Alert" event, but I've no idea where to loo. [21:06] look. [21:06] dtoole: Taking advantage of a naming thing? Chromium BSU was around for many years before Chromium or Chrome were thought of. [21:06] wgrant: no [21:06] seme: You must be on a RH distro... [21:06] Hello [21:06] ardnew: Then it's an Ubuntu bug.

If I do netstat -putan I only see ESTABLISHED conection but not LISTEN. It's very wirdo [21:07] wgrant, what's the chromium-daily PPA? [21:07] one. [21:07] hi, im trying to figure out why www.partypoker.com/anywhere isn't loading on my firefox in ubuntu ..i have the netbook remix [21:07] wgrant: welp, I just jumped on the old FAILBOAT [21:07] seme: I use service on CentOS systems I administer. [21:07] wgrant: ah, wasn't aware. I figured the maintainer of the bsu game just saw a popularity oportunity... was very odd that it would be allowed but that makes more sense (that the game was the grandfather) [21:07] i.e. I have System, Preferences, just no ... sound. [21:07] ardnew: Ah. Are you using the proprietary drivers? If not, it's still an Ubuntu bug. [21:07] with netstat -lt I don't get any connection [21:07] im triying to install this http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric4-download.html edi or ide i dont know how to say but i dont know how to do it [21:07] Viking667 are you using GNOME?

[21:12] kashhh: In reality, Linux is Linux. There are subtle differences among the various distros but when you know one, you know them all. It comes down to how much experience you have with Linux, as to which one you should start with. [21:12] suigeneris: nicee [21:12] If I change to a new login screen (I'm on 9.04) will it be possible the screen is to big and I can't log in?

I want to control it remotely from another computer.

[21:15] wgrant, ... ok will check the system see what is running in the background [21:15] can someone give me a command to extract line N to M from a text file please [21:15] hello, We always need to send /msg NickServ identify? or we can automatize That?

[21:16] suigeneris : yeah, I've got, but the problem is no permission for acces to the folder [21:16] gdiz: enable X11 forwarding in the remove server's sshd config file and restart [21:16] wgrant, now when I try and run Chromium Chrome appears. [21:17] no,... [21:17] We always need to send /msg NickServ identify? or we can automatize That? [21:17] Typh: By default, the one with the newest version. If they are the same version, the one listed first in sources.list wins. [21:17] gdiz: then connect to the remote server using ssh -X [21:17] guntbert: no i cant find that [21:17] yo_rmn: Most clients have an option to automate that. [21:17] wgrant: good, that's what I was hoping [21:17] fixer_33 check if dir has permissions 755 [21:17] lgc: You closed all Chrome windows? [21:17] pidgin? [21:17] suigeneris: its still as root [21:17] yo_rmn #pidgin [21:17] gdiz: (this is assuming bboth machines are running X11) [21:17] I did look for it [21:17] suigeneris: /media/Tulio is another partition in the HD..... [21:17] ardnew, I am a bit of a newbie. where is the sshd and what do you need to put in it [21:18] wgrant, seems so. [21:18] TECNOPATA: open system menu, choose administration, choose software sources [21:18] thx [21:18] Oilut shouldn't matter [21:18] gdiz: but I dont understand why are you trying to view hulu streams from a remote machine on your local machine [21:18] wgrant, unless Chromium looks so similar to Chrome that it is not distinguishable.

There's only 2 or so options now [21:57] suigeneris: 'net usershare' returned error 255: [2009/12/19 19:57:34, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2799) Unknown parameter encountered: "netshare owner only" [2009/12/19 19:57:34, 0] param/loadparm.c:lp_do_parameter(3540) [21:57] :) [21:57] aoeuhtns: you can't, haha! [21:57] Screen working good now, yay. [21:57] aoeuhtns: the login sound? [21:57] CrazyC: I'll give that a try [21:58] aoeuhtns System > Preferences > Sound [21:58] i think it does not recognize after the equal sign`=` [21:58] try the most unused ones first [21:58] no, the GDM sound at the login screen (before you log in) [21:58] hi [21:58] aoeuhtns: you'll have to disable the whole sound theme for that afaik, in sound properties, choose none instead of ubuntu (or default) sound theme. [21:58] Does anybody know something about Memory and UB here [21:58] CrazyC: I just reduced the resolution down to 800x600, the effects are all off === Guest24831 is now known as Sharker [21:59] arand, sound preferences is a per-user setting so I don't think that applies to the system log in screen [21:59] anyway, I already have that set to "no sound theme" [21:59] what was your standard === Sharker is now known as Guest81716 [21:59] Lucid Lynx's very stable for an alpha operating system! [21:59] I'm surprised. [21:59] aoeuhtns: you need to wait few years as they finish gdm manager [21:59] !lucid | psilva [21:59] psilva: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:00] Hello, I don't find flahs very stable using an 64bits opperating system. Is any one else experiencing something similar ?? e.g.: clicking on button doesn't work, need to reinstall it often [22:00] Oilut usershare owner only = false, not the one you have right now [22:00] Ubottu is correct. [22:00] DaZ, I don't understand, the option was there, why did they have to go and break it?! [22:00] Just saying, not discussing anything. [22:00] ikus060: yes [22:00] Flash isn't stable in Ubuntu... Ever... [22:00] suigeneris: my file is like: #======================= Global Settings ======================= [global] netshare owner only=false ## Browsing/Identification ### [22:00] aoeuhtns: because it was old and they want it new. [22:00] every new ubuntu release seems to break something that worked fine before... [22:01] suigeneris: i changed for owner.... [22:01] Suzanne what was your standard [22:01] apn: So there nothing to do ?? [22:01] CrazyC: 1280x800 [22:01] how do I add a link to a file so that I can run it in any folder without the filepath or ./ [22:01] It's really hard to understand anyone here... [22:01] also, how do you log out without using the mouse [22:01] Suzanne and it isnt fine with that? [22:02] Suzanne What do you want to change? [22:02] CrazyC: I don't think the resolution is the problem. [22:02] Berzerker: you have to add the directory to $PATH [22:02] ikus060: using the native flash64 downloadable from adobe labs is normally better. [22:02] DaZ, where is that [22:02] CrazyC: The entire system seems to refuse to use the graphics processor to do any work. [22:02] arand: oki, I will try this. Thanks [22:02] CrazyC: I just want a driver to run the stupid chip. [22:02] Berzerker: in the shell as a variable. [22:03] DaZ, what file is that stored in === mdrk is now known as Mandrak [22:03] Hi, I just downloaded bacula in 9.10. I click on Bacula administration tool, it thinks for a second, then nothing. What gives, how can I run it from the command line? [22:03] What Linux are you using/ [22:03] !flash64 > ikus060 [22:03] CrazyC: Since ATI abandoned its customers to "legacy" support, the prop. driver doesn't work, and the communities solution doesn't appear to be working on my system at all. [22:03] ikus060, please see my private message [22:03] suzanne: ah ha === Guest81716 is now known as Sharker [22:04] suzanne: ok uhmm what version of Ubuntu are you on? 9.10? [22:04] how is it possible that initctl list wouldn't have postgres in it even though there are startup scripts in /etc/rc* and /etc/init.d/ [22:04] sebsebseb: Yeah [22:04] Trying to install flash. Libpango is not satisfied. 8.04. Any ideas? [22:04] suzanne: and your ATI card is old yeah? === Sharker is now known as Guest24064 [22:04] Hey there... I went to Live CD to resize my partitions and, after that, Grub didn't load anymore. It says: "Error: unknown filesystem". Everything was normal before and I have no problem with GParted. [22:04] sebsebseb: Yeah, it's a 9600 radeon mobility [22:04] Berzerker: PATH=$PATH+"directory" [22:04] suzanne: ok there was someone here lastnight or whatever, with a similar issue [22:04] and maybe use export [22:05] DaZ, I got it, thanks, export PATH=$PATH:/path [22:05] sebsebseb: Did they find a solution? [22:05] suigeneris: how can i show you my smb.conf file? [22:05] in .bashrc [22:05] s/I have/I had [22:05] !pastebin | Oilut [22:05] suzanne: well not exactly, but it sounded like their card would work in 8.04 [22:05] Oilut: 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 [22:06] Suzanne I agree with him [22:06] suzanne: you might be thinking 8.04, but that's old, well yeah it is, but it's a good release, and long term support, it has over a year of support left, unlike 9.04 for example [22:06] CrazyC: So the solution is reversion? [22:06] sebsebseb: but it's old [22:06] Is it just me, or does pidgin-facebook chat not work? [22:06] Hey can anyone help me with a printer problem? [22:07] !ask | fear [22:07] Its maybe a driver problem [22:07] fear: 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. :-) [22:07] AakashPatel: The version in the repos with Karmic indeed does not. Use the upstream version. [22:07] suzanne: DaZ with Ubuntu it's not about what is the latest it's about what is still supported. Also with graphics card it's also to do with the version of xorg, not just a driver. [22:07] tonyyarusso: "upstream" verison? [22:07] aoeuhtns: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/437429 for workaround disabling login sound. [22:07] suzanne: plus if you want later stuff on 8.04, you can install later stuff yourself, later versions of Firefox etc. [22:07] AakashPatel: http://pidgin-facebookchat.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-facebookchat-1.64.deb [22:07] suigeneris: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6797020 [22:07] sebsebseb: i don't think older xorg would break newer software right now [22:08] Ah [22:08] Just a quick question: if I purge Firefox, will it remove my profile? [22:08] danny: No. [22:08] What version did it break at? [22:08] did/does* [22:08] suzanne: ATI do not support Desktop Linux properly, Nivida for example has very good support [22:08] so using a year and a half old system just because of xorg is wrong. [22:08] AakashPatel: You may also need to do some funny business to get it recognized - let me know if it works after installing that package and restarting empathy. [22:08] AakashPatel: It works but it can still be a bit buggy. But seeing as how Facebook chat barely works ON facebook sometimes, it's as good as can be expected === Guest24064 is now known as Sharker [22:09] (unless you're actually using pidgin) [22:09] DaZ: doesn't matter if it's that old, it's still suported, that's the point, and it's still a good release [22:09] alright i am running the ubuntu boot disk "try without changes" feature on my windows 2000 pc. I am going around trying to see if it is what I want to do, i think it is, but I went to set up a printer and print a test page but when it printed test page it said it printed succesfully but nothing came out of printer like it never got to it. Is it because I am just running the trial and it is not fully installed yet [22:09] sebsebseb: Yet they don't support RandR 1.2... [22:09] tonyyarusso: well see, i'm using pidgin on the n900 with maemo [22:09] sebsebseb: Well, were there a way to rip the ATI off the main board and replace it, that would be nice. [22:09] so..i guess i'll need to recomile the new version [22:09] of the chat plugin === Sharker is now known as Guest42704 [22:09] AakashPatel: no you don't - they have that too :) [22:09] Oilut read mu fingers please, usershare owner only = false, not netshare [22:09] AakashPatel: http://pidgin-facebookchat.googlecode.com/files/libfacebookarm-1.64.so [22:09] tonyyarusso: idk who the heck the dev is for it lol [22:10] AakashPatel: (more info on http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ ) [22:10] DaZ: in fact overall it's my second favourite release since 8.04, after 8.10. [22:10] okay so, how do I locate the mounted path of sftp://www.server.com/myfiles (mounted by gnome) - I'm using gvim but it doesn't have the integrated gnome file dialogs [22:10] strixv: Look in ~/.gvfs [22:10] Hi, I just downloaded bacula in 9.10. I click on Bacula administration tool, it thinks for a second, then nothing. What gives, how can I run it from the command line? [22:10] I wonder if its possible to include facebook chat into the defualt chat program in maemo [22:10] hmmm [22:10] wgrant, thanks [22:10] suigeneris: my bad! [22:10] trying to do a livedvd with remastersys, but im getting that my output file exceeds the iso9660 size limit, is there some workaround, except for removing something from my system? [22:11] alright i am running the ubuntu boot disk "try without changes" feature on my windows 2000 pc. I am going around trying to see if it is what I want to do, i think it is, but I went to set up a printer and print a test page but when it printed test page it said it printed succesfully but nothing came out of printer like it never got to it.

[22:11] Oilut glad it did [22:11] hell [22:11] suzanne: Newer is not always better, and I guess really you just want a version of Ubuntu that is still supported and works well on your computer? [22:11] hello [22:11] sebsebseb: downgrading xorg does not kill [; [22:11] Yea fear here [22:12] sebsebseb: If !AND, then yes. [22:12] I'm getting an error trying to add a new KVM vm using Virt-manager, saying ISO doesn't exist when it does. Any ideas? Error is: ValueError: Size must be specified for non existent volume path '/storage/cd-images/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso' [22:12] sebsebseb: in open source newer is almost always better [22:12] suzanne: if what? [22:12] i have a problem with youtube, i see only blck screen and i don't see button play [22:12] !| suigeneris [22:12] sebsebseb: I guess if I have to choose between more features and better functionality, I'll go with the latter. It'd be nice as a buy one get one, though. [22:12] DaZ: and a lot of the time in open source, the newer stuff isn't really needed yet by lots of people. [22:13] Hi, Anybody can help me about OpenGL support in virtual box ?? [22:13] sylwester: try newest flash [22:13] wgrant, okay here's another one: I can see it in .gvfs but gvim's dialog won't let me go into hidden directories. Should I symlink a normal directory to .gvfs to get around that? [22:13] Hello I have got a question [22:13] alright i am running the ubuntu boot disk "try without changes" feature on my windows 2000 pc. I am going around trying to see if it is what I want to do, i think it is, but I went to set up a printer and print a test page but when it printed test page it said it printed succesfully but nothing came out of printer like it never got to it. Is it because I am just running the trial and it is not fully installed yet [22:13] Sylwester most likely it isnt loading right [22:13] suzanne: what was the second bit? [22:13] strixv: Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files and directories. [22:13] sebsebseb: and dvd recorders are for pirates. it's apple people rhetoric. [22:13] okey i try install new flash thanks [22:13] wgrant, normally, but gvim uses the old school x file dialog [22:13] DaZ: uhmm? [22:13] wgrant, so no ctrl+h [22:14] strixv: Ah, I use the one with proper GNOME support. [22:14] sebsebseb: for most of them it is needed, and installing old os just because it ships older xorg isn't worth it === Guest42704 is now known as Sharker [22:14] sebsebseb: Oh, I was just saying that your assertion was correct: I want a functional system. I don't want to downgrade though. I wish it weren't necessary. [22:14] as downgrading is possible. [22:14] fear: what kind of printer is it? [22:14] suigeneris: I get lots of timeout errors. Local and Internet. [22:14] suzanne: I can rip apart the releases since 8.04 and say what is good and bad about them. You woudn't really be missing out on much, by using 8.04 at this time. === Sharker is now known as Guest41868 [22:14] wgrant, then I should change to that one! [22:14] DaZ: Suggesting a downgrade of the X.org stack is pretty silly. [22:14] LetsGo67 no idea, sorry [22:14] wgrant, which is it? [22:14] It is an epson printer [22:14] wgrant: why? [; [22:15] syugeneris: that's okay. I'll be in ##linux [22:15] Someone please give me the command to purge Firefox, I'm having trouble with it.

I just don't use the menus enough, I guess. [22:15] fear: What model? [22:15] C 60 [22:15] sebsebseb: Well, technically no. And I'm a technical person. I'm trying to repair this laptop for the holidays, though. [22:15] DaZ: Because it's complex and incredibly fragile. [22:15] DaZ: Downgrading system components like that is not to be done lightly. [22:16] Epson Stylus C60 [22:16] suzanne: it's not like Windows where you really are doing a proper down grade [22:16] wgrant, yeah normally I don't run into this problem, but I've got a nice sftp connection to the place I'm editing, and I've opened a local file, and I want to save that local file on the remote machine. I could just copy it with gnome but it seems silly that I can't just save it with vim [22:16] sebsebseb: And when you get right down to it, I could probably get away with switching to a cli debian install that would be faster, more secure, and the like. 9.10 has all the pretty features, though. [22:16] strixv: :w ~/.gvfs/blah/blah/blah [22:16] suzanne: With Ubuntu it's not about what is the latest version, it's about what is still supported. [22:16] danny sudo apt-get purge firefox [22:16] My ATI Graphic card has problems about OpenGL inside Virtualbox, opengl programs crash when i run them, anybody has a idea ? [22:16] danny: What do you hope to achieve by purging it? [22:17] danny: I suspect you're not doing what you think you are. [22:17] sebsebseb: Is anyone working on this problem, though? [22:17] rix_ maybe #vbox does have an idea [22:17] wgrant, yeah I guess I'll do it that way -thx! [22:17] suzanne: not that much can be done about the ATI issues [22:17] suigeneris ahh, I forgot the sudo apt-get part [22:17] suzanne: unless ATI them selves make proper drivers and that [22:17] fear: seems it should be supported by gutenprint driver, which afaik is included in live CD [22:17] Well Im heading out, Peace [22:17] sebsebseb: If I can't diagnostically determine precisely what the support issue is, how will I know when they (opengl/edge) fixes it? [22:17] *fix it [22:17] suzanne: reverse enginering hardware support is a rather difficult and time consuming thing, for developers to do [22:18] suigeneris: thanks, but nobody answers there. Thanks anyway.. [22:18] PacketCollision: Do you think it is because it is not yet installed but is instead running on the "try without any changes" feature [22:18] sebsebseb: I understand that, hence the lag in support. This /is/ and older system though. [22:18] suzanne: Open source ATI support will be much better in Ubuntu 10.04. I'd try again then. === Guest41868 is now known as Sharker [22:19] wgrant: for old cards as well yeah? [22:19] suzanne: ATI only recently released documentation for chips less than a few years old. It's taking a while to catch up. [22:19] sebsebseb: Yes. [22:19] wgrant: Is there a changelog where I can view the progress, I wonder? [22:19] suzanne: Mmm, not sure about that one. === Sharker is now known as Guest83337 [22:19] nie ma cie! [22:19] Do you think it is because it is not yet installed but is instead running on the "try without any changes" feature [22:19] apn! [22:19] anybody tell me why when i tried to install a wifi driver in ubuntu and then restart my screen goes black and the light on my capslock button blinks [22:20] suzanne: ok well in this case, this is a good idea, put 8.04 on for now :) then when April comes and 10.04 comes out, you can directly upgrade to it, but you won't get Ext4 on upgrade, and probably not Grub 2 either. If you want those probably easier to clean install, then install Grub 2 after woulds, and convert Ext3 to Ext4, resulting in something that may not be quite the proper thing. [22:21] PacketCollision:Do you think it is because it is not yet installed but is instead running on the "try without any changes" feature [22:21] sebsebseb: But neither GRUB2 nor ext4 are particularly important. [22:21] Not for my purposes, anyway [22:21] wgrant: I assume that's ok, for me to say, that they won't get Ext4 on a 8.04 upgrade? even though of course I don't 100% know for sure, but I highly doubt it will happen on upgrade. [22:21] sebsebseb: That's correct. [22:21] suzanne: also what wgrant put Ext4 and Grub 2 aren't particularly important anyway [22:22] Do you think it is because it is not yet installed but is instead running on the "try without any changes" feature [22:22] wgrant: I once had ikonia telling me off, when I was saying stuff like that to someone in here. === Guest83337 is now known as Sharker [22:24] fear: that shouldn't matter, but you will probably have to go to admin->printers and set it up [22:24] I just moved my hd from one machine to another. Ubuntu 9.10 figured out everything but the sound...how do I fix the sound? [22:24] suzanne: not sure what your Debian idea is, but that's probably a good idea as well === Sharker is now known as Guest2430 [22:24] sebsebseb: Oh, I was just saying that it's technically just as functional, but not everyone else who uses this particular machine can use a cli. [22:25] ppl, how do I get rid of the small arrow that appears on top of the main gnome menu button? [22:25] how do I get ubuntu to figure out what sound card I am using? [22:25] suzanne: oh right I see [22:25] thats what I did to get it set up and established. There were 3 options Port 1 port 2 or other [22:25] sebsebseb: A pretty gui has a certain appeal that the tools themselves do not. [22:25] my friend said you give out porn passwords here? [22:25] EDinNY lspci [22:25] sebsebseb: Hence the real desire to stick with 9.10 [22:25] who should i contact [22:25] suzanne: well there's the old add/remove in 8.04 instead of Software Centre [22:25] !warez | Atul [22:25] Atul: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [22:25] I do not think that the port matters [22:26] suzanne: also when 10.04 comes out, the plan is for Synaptic to be replaced by Software Centre as well, plus two or so more things [22:26] sebsebseb: I liked synaptic, though :( [22:26] suigeneris: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) <- seems to be sound. how do I make it work? [22:26] suzanne: 8.04 has Synaptic :) [22:26] sebsebseb: I'll probably stick with apt-get anyways. [22:26] suzanne: so you'll still use synaptic [22:26] sebsebseb: good thing we still have aptitude [22:26] suzanne: also I expect that Synaptic will be in the 10.04 repo for those that want it. [22:27] sebsebseb, blakkheim, suzanne: synaptic won't be going away in Lucid [22:27] what is the name of the window gksu calls? [22:27] I have to disable its wobblyness in ccsm [22:27] Do the poerts matter? [22:27] ports? [22:27] Flannel: which is basically what i put [22:27] it's not a ubuntu project so it's going to be still developed. [22:28] sebsebseb: Only eventually. Please stop making confusing claims, especially because Lucid isn't topical for this channel to begin with. [22:28] Flannel: ok [22:28] Interesting === Guest2430 is now known as Sharker [22:28] PacketColllision? [22:29] how do I set my sound levels? [22:29] does anyone know about using d4x to download from rapidshare? (dont really know if its okay to ask here, but it doesnt seem to be reading the login cookies and assumes im not logged in) === Sharker is now known as Guest37480 [22:29] anybody tell me why when i tried to install a wifi driver in ubuntu and then restart my screen goes black and the light on my capslock button blinks [22:29] sebsebseb: (WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available [22:29] (EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI. [22:29] (II) RADEON(0): [agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module [22:29] is loaded before the radeon kernel module. [22:29] suzanne: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:29] matts45acp: That's a kernel panic. A bug in the kernel. [22:29] suzanne: Did you ever use a version of Ubuntu before 9.10? [22:29] matts45acp: How did you install the driver? [22:30] suzanne: oh I am not sure what that means [22:30] sebsebseb: Yeah, I have. That log file [22:30] sebsebseb: Hmm, I'm going to look into that real quick [22:30] billy_: use jdownloader better for rapidshare like sites [22:30] have a LINKSYS WUSB600N WIRELESS adapter when i load backtrack up it says it is connected but there is no internet and in windows network connection window the device does not show up only if i disconect it from backtrack i will show up any idead my friend thanks [22:30] !

[22:34] wgrant: ok, I've been trying to get the opensource drivers working, but they lock my machine up since I tried installing the ati drivers from their website. I can't figure out how to remove the packages that were installed via the --buildandinstallpkg switch from the drivers. There doesn't appear to be any --uninstall or --remove switch. I can't find any packages in synaptic to remove. Any recommendations on how to get the ati website d === Guest37480 is now known as Sharker [22:34] Kingsy101: You can, sort of. Press the auto-adjust button and see what happens. [22:34] Kingsy101: graphics processing unit [22:34] jmyers: I don't know about that. You really, really shouldn't be installing drivers manually.

Any ideas here? [22:40] is there a way apt-get can show me a package's contents? [22:40] jsoft: Where are you trying to install it from? [22:40] for example, I want to find out the name of its binary [22:40] sontek: at which stage does it stall? [22:40] wolter: dpkg -L somepackage [22:40] thanks wgrant [22:40] wolter: apt-file can do that. dpkg -L is for installed packages [22:41] wgrant: adobes site. [22:41] blakkheim: scrot works great, and import doesn't. is that worth reporting? [22:41] sontek: i would make sure your /etc/ssh/ssh_config is setup to only use the auth methods that you need, and do the same on the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server [22:41] oh thanks tritium [22:41] dooglus_: dunno, never used import [22:41] anyone know the best way to read xchat logs ---something readable? [22:41] wolter: is the package installed? [22:41] blakkheim: it pauses for 10/15sec at next auth method: gssapi-with-mic and then pauses for a little longer after Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_1000' not found [22:41] jsoft: Try to just install the adobe-flashplugin package from Synaptic. [22:41] Why is it that Complete Removal of a program seems to be completely useless? [22:42] sontek: yeah, try disabling the authentication methods you don't need [22:42] Omen_20: which program? [22:42] Omen_20: What do you mean? [22:42] Could anyone help me burn DVDS??? i've found numerous amounts of forums devoted to this topic, and i've tried a couple different types of software, but none of them are working... could someone walk me through step-by-step on how to burn dvds (for use in my home dvd player)?? [22:43] Banshee. It has some major issues and has been getting worse over the past week. I completely removed it in Synaptic and reinstalled it. It came back as if nothing had changed. It was not a fresh start like it should have been. [22:43] wgrant: Already have. No worky. [22:43] Coolest_Loser57: k3b is a good program for that [22:43] tritium, well, i will use it for both installed and non-installed packages [22:43] jsoft: 'no worky'? [22:43] Omen_20: ok the .folders in home [22:43] blakkheim:K3B? [22:43] Omen_20: the hidden .folders in home [22:43] can somebody tell me how to make use of notify-osd from the terminal? [22:43] Coolest_Loser57: aptitude install k3b [22:43] Omen_20: that is where program user data goes [22:43] wgrant: yes thats right, it does nothing for firefox. === Guest76286 is now known as Sharker [22:44] wolter: you'll have to use apt-file for non-installed packages. You can use dpkg for installed packages. Neither cover both use cases. [22:44] blakkheim: and a half of kde? <: === Sharker is now known as Guest78821 [22:44] There isnt one for Banshee [22:44] tritium, thats fine.. I can use each depending on the case [22:44] DaZ: true, but he didn't say what DE he was using. i wanted to choose something i thought would be easy for him to use [22:44] blakkheim: aptitude? i found it in the Ubuntu software center.. it syas it only works for cds, i can burn cds, i need to burn dvds [22:45] Coolest_Loser57: you could try something else then. doesn't brasero do dvds? [22:45] blakkheim: iirc works for dvds. [22:45] Omen_20: yeah I just seen, on another distro right now, but should be the same as Ubuntu for the Banshee stuff, i'll have a look to see if I can find something hold on [22:45] so, still no luck with the liveCD. The md5 of the iso checks out. The md5 of all the files on the mounted CD check out. [22:45] hello [22:45] sebsebseb, thanks [22:46] blakkheim: yeh its supposed to, but it hangs up when its "converting" a movie to mpeg2 format [22:46] Omen_20: removing a package doesn't remove config files and preferences in your home directory. [22:46] Coolest_Loser57: k3b can burn both. [22:46] tritium, I figured Complete would do that. What is the difference between regular and complete then? [22:46] arand: ok but can it burn FROM .AVI formats??? or do i also need a file converter? [22:47] Omen_20: ok new there was something. .cache and .config have Banshee stuff in them [22:47] arand: im about to try it out, but its dling now, do you know if i can input .avi formatter movies? [22:47] Coolest_Loser57: yes it can, and it makes great coffee too [22:47] Coolest_Loser57: are you sure it's hung up? converting takes a while depending on how fast your cpu is [22:47] Omen_20: if you delete the hidden folder for a program or move it some where else, .mozilla for example, then re open Firefox, it will be like you just installed it for the first time [22:48] sebsebseb, thanks [22:48] blakkheim: i've left it on for a couple horus before... shouldn't take htat long at all [22:48] Omen_20: whether or not *system* level configuration files (not user-specific ones) are removed or not. [22:48] tritium, k === Guest78821 is now known as Sharker === wolfy is now known as Guest7355 [22:49] Coolest_Loser57: don't think so, might need mpeg proper... === Sharker is now known as Guest96558 [22:49] sebsebseb, most of my issues were in terms of podcasts. It started doubling everything and every podcast would download the Presidents Weekly Address. It was like that RSS feed took over. [22:49] Hey all, where can I find a list of ubuntu names to ubuntu version? I just came across a howto that states : Edgy through Gusty: [22:49] what are -dev files called? [22:50] but I know I have 8.04 and I have no idea what name it is... [22:50] -dev packages that is [22:50] When I move an HD containing kubuntu to another machine should kubuntu detect the new sound card during boot? [22:50] arand: mpeg proper??? i don't understand what you mean./.. is thaat a program name?? or do you mean i need mpeg formatted files? [22:50] idenitfy whats that [22:50] Omen_20: oh .gconf apps has Banshee in it as well [22:50] What is the proper way to install flash on 8.04? The package does not work, because it trys to download a non-existant file from adobes site. [22:50] how do i send a message to notify-osd? [22:51] josh|: ubuntu-restricted-extras? [22:51] ries: it follows the alphabet and year.month, 8.04 is hardy heron [22:51] sorry jsoft [22:51] wolter: notify-send [22:51] and, should notify-osd notify me when i eject a disk or change my songs? [22:51] sebsebseb, ping [22:51] wolter: eject don't know; songs depends on your player, check the prefs [22:52] hi [22:52] Coolest_Loser57: http://k3b.plainblack.com/videoencoding claims it's possible, don't know which version it applies to though.. [22:52] What should I isntall for my fx 5500 on ubuntu 8.4 LTS? nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? [22:52] !hi | ubuntu [22:52] ubuntu: 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! [22:52] VCoolio: is there a command line option to know the name (hardy heron) ? [22:52] Omen_20: (banshee-1 the exact name, but not really relivaint) anyway if you remove/move all Banshee stuff from hidden .folders in Home. and re open Banshee it should be like a new install again [22:52] uname -a [22:52] ries: lsb_release -a [22:52] ries: lsb_release -a [22:52] ries: lsb_release -a [22:52] i_is_broke: hi [22:52] thanks [22:52] * VCoolio wins [22:52] What should I isntall for my fx 5500 on ubuntu 8.4 LTS? nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? I need to install drivers. [22:52] sebsebseb, got a sec, got a question for ya? [22:52] i_is_broke: that's for the kernel, not the distro [22:52] hi [22:53] lsb_release -a [22:53] i_is_broke: uhmm if it's Ubuntu related and not Lucid, this is the place, if not, this isn't the place === jeremy is now known as Guest95461 [22:53] thanks all im going to go try on it, if it doesn't work with some tinkering, ill be back lol [22:53] preciate the help [22:53] tritium, sorry im use to going by the kernel im running. === Guest96558 is now known as Sharker === ubuntu_ is now known as wiizzard [22:54] sebsebseb, yes it does. Thanks! This is actually easier than Windows which I should have expected. But I live on Banshee and freaked out. [22:54] My SSH server is really unstable! Help please! === Sharker is now known as Guest27862 [22:54] ries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases [22:54] LetsGo67: what do you mean? [22:54] Omen_20: uhmm at the last bit? [22:55] anyone have any idea where synaptic hides the xmame executable folder after installation? TIA :) [22:55] Mgolisch: gets timeout errors too often. [22:55] is Hardy Heron and hardy the same?, for me it just states hardy [22:55] I'm trying to try out the 64 bit version of ubuntu, booting straight from the cd, but it asks for a username and password. Blank/blank and admin/admin doesn't work. Username "Ubuntu" and blank password doesn't work. How do I get in? [22:55] ries: Yes. [22:55] ries, its the same [22:56] nozzy: ubuntu/ubuntu. It shouldn't ask for a password, though. [22:56] thanks... I wasn't sure [22:56] sebsebseb, what? [22:56] is netgear routers good to use in linux? it seems sluggish [22:56] Omen_20: nevermind, I misunderstood or something, I guess you weren't happy when Banshee messed up on you, that's what you were saying basicalley [22:58] LetsGo67: i think theres some keep alive settings you can add to your ssh config [22:58] LetsGo67: so your client would send some data every x seconds to keep the connection allive === CripperZ is now known as N0DE- === Guest27862 is now known as Sharker [22:59] sebsebseb, yeah I had never had a problem with a program in linux since ive been using it. First time I've ever had to deal with it like on Windows. [22:59] mgolisch how do I change that? Plus right now I can't even login. === Sharker is now known as Guest34861 [22:59] Hello all , wow what a great OS but i have a little problem anyone got a moment? [22:59] <_nick_> arand: /exit [22:59] Omen_20: well as you just learnt, it's easier to fix programs that went wrong in Ubuntu, than on Windows [22:59] LetsGo67: add something like ServerAliveInterval 120 to your .ssh/ssh_config file on your client [23:00] LetsGo67: that will send a keep alive paket every 120 seconds [23:00] Yeah I mistook the Removal in Synaptic as an uninstall wizard. [23:01] When my computer starts, it has the KDE login. How would I change it back to the Gnome one? I went to the "Login Screen" item under Preferences, however that was not how [23:01] Im totaly new to linux based os or any other os than vista I have downloaded some of my games that I play and i am having problems installing them anyone have anysuggestions? [23:01] Sorry, it was "Login Screen" under Administration, not Preferences [23:02] how do i install X with ratpoison in it in a server (without gdm at all)? [23:02] Omen_20: no, that's effectively what it is. You just didn't realize that removal doesn't touch users' directories. That would be too invasive. [23:02] i have ratpoison istalled already, but i think i'm missing X === mrnicelupe is now known as sAnta89_ [23:03] yeah. But that's pretty sweet none the less. I wonder if Software Center will deal with user directories or if it will stay like Synaptic. === Guest34861 is now known as Sharker [23:04] Omen_20: it will certainly stay like Synaptic. [23:04] anybody here know if the rtl8192se driver works on ubuntu with ndiswrapper === Sharker is now known as Guest57641 [23:04] Omen_20: such tools should _never_ touch user directories. [23:05] Is it a security issue, or just to easy to screw something up? [23:06] im trying to connect to a website using port 2062, but when im doing this behind a proxy it always connects me to the site using port 80 [23:06] anybody here know if the rtl8192se driver works on ubuntu with ndiswrapper [23:06] so certain proxies only allow you to connect to port 80 of sites? [23:06] Coolest_Loser57: Seems like a combination of DeVeDe (create image) and a standard burning app (brasero/k3b) is one solution... [23:06] d0wn: edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and set it to /usr/sbin/gdm or maybe also dpkg-reconfigure gdm does the trick [23:07] VCoolio: do you know if there is a way to do it with a gui? [23:07] Omen_20: it's more of a users' rights issue, you could say. [23:07] lol whats with ppl and guis [23:07] ; sorryd0wn: actually, no, I always find that to be more difficult for these kind of things [23:07] What should I isntall for my fx 5500 on ubuntu 8.4 LTS? nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? I need to install drivers for fx 5500 [23:08] one! What is the right line in, but on a server [23:08] wgrant, jDownloader, 204mb of the memory :\ [23:08] Terror: because I don't always want to use the command line. I don't see what is too hard to understand about that [23:08] frojnd: the restricted drivers manager should have a suggestion for you [23:08] and VCoolio: thank you for your help. I will do that for now, and will try to find a way to do it witha gui later [23:08] tritium: what about if I don't have an X? [23:08] tritium: who will suggest me what to install? === Guest57641 is now known as Sharker [23:09] VCoolio: dpkg-reconfigure worked, and let me change from kdm to gdm. thank you === Sharker is now known as Guest55697 [23:09] frojnd: apt-cache show , and read the package descriptions. You should be able to determine which is appropriate [23:09] d0wn: reinstalling, which might be equivalent of reconfiguring, can be done in synaptic. [23:16] wgrant, thank you, ill have my remote person try it === Guest55697 is now known as Sharker === Sharker is now known as Guest33202 [23:16] Does anyone know how easy GTK+ compared to other GUI systems? I have a GUI class next semester and would like to try GTK+ [23:16] Does anyone know of a program on ubuntu that will convert AVI files into Video_TS files (so that i can burn them to dvd) [23:16] how do i install the binary nvidia dirver from the terminal?

[23:39] Hello everyone... why am I getting a "distribution upgrade" even though I'm running Karmic? Shouldn't update-manager wait for Lucid to be released? [23:39] mgolisch, you meaning modprobe? [23:39] WinfredNg: unload them with sudo modprobe -r module_name and reinsert them with sudo modprobe module_name and see if that helops [23:39] WinfredNg: yeah === Sharker is now known as Guest15376 [23:40] What is Nice in terms of processor activity? [23:40] mgolisch, Ok, I'll try, Thanks. Maybe it is ok. [23:40] Omen_20, easiest way to think about nice/renice would be "lowering process priority" [23:41] whats the difference between nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-173 ? [23:41] ZykoticK9, ok so on my system monitor, Nice would be low priority stuff? [23:42] Omen_20, you can use nice/renice to lower/raise process priority??? [23:42] is it possible to put videos on your ipod touch with ubuntu, because when i plug it in it always loads up a gphoto2 thing and only lets me view my saved photos and nothing else, i removed gphoto but it still does it [23:42] mgolisch,Thanks, It work. [23:42] :] [23:43] WinfredNg: i believe there is some config file on wich you can add modules to be relaoded on resume [23:43] :) [23:43] mgolisch, How?, I am a new one [23:43] xzachtmx: videos? for storage? or to actualy look at them? [23:43] like i want to put videos on to it. [23:43] ZykoticK9, ok ur explaining it more as a tool. There is a color indicator on the graph that is labeled Nice. === Guest15376 is now known as Sharker === Sharker is now known as Guest48226 [23:44] all the guides on the internet dont change anything, it still loads up like it is a digital camera [23:45] xzachtmx: itunes sync doenst work on iphone os 2.x i think there is expiremntal support for 3.x [23:45] has the latest dist-upgrade addressed a lot of the bugs? [23:45] i have 3.1 [23:45] how has 9.10 been working for everybody. I am experiencing a number of strange behaviors that all seem display related? [23:45] .2 [23:45] i mean sync using gtkpod or somular stuff [23:45] but i think you need to install some experimental libraries and stuff [23:45] How can I open a ISO-file without cd-drive? [23:46] mgolisch, Can u tell me when the computer resume, What script will load? [23:46] heoa do you have a dvd drive? [23:46] DWG_: no, just achlinux_distro.iso-file [23:46] in my harddrive [23:46] and I need to make a virtual CD-drive or something like that [23:47] to read it [23:47] anyone here use Linux Media Center? [23:48] heoa: there is software like cdemu [23:48] chiques, I use MythTV [23:48] but I think there is a channel for that. #ubuntu-mythtv [23:48] Omen_20, i've been searching for an explanation of nice re:system monitor - couldn't find one... you can have a look at "man nice" doubt it has the info you're looking for though. good luck. === Guest48226 is now known as Sharker === Sharker is now known as Guest60580 [23:51] ZykoticK9, ok thanks. I know what ur talking about but that is the System Monitor that lists processes. I'm talking about the panel applet which shows graphs. [23:51] mike3, I want to download the latest iso for LMC but it's down. Do you know of any alternatives where I can get the latest version? [23:52] I haven't played with LMC. I wonder how reliable it really is. [23:52] i used it some years ago [23:52] I'd play around with mythtv. It's reliable once setup properly. [23:52] worked quite well [23:52] While trying to upgrade to karmic gdm, compiz, etc. which led to upgrade of alsa etc. I lost my sound. It doesn't recgonize my Intel ICH10 family card anymore. Curiously enough I don't get any sound in Windows either, but I can't say for sure I had it, because I haven't really used the installation before. lspci lists the hardware, aplay -l says no soundcards. [23:52] Omen_20, ya I opened my own System Monitor and saw a bunch of 0s and 1s for Nice - not sure what even that refers too - good luck man. [23:52] Are any of you noticing slowness and what not with ubuntu [23:53] ? [23:53] anyone know a terminal app that displays a progress bar when copying files? [23:53] How do I get Tomboy to sync with ubuntu one using the version on Intrepid? [23:53] why should it? [23:53] ghostlines, think mc does [23:53] that would be the job of the program doing the file copy operation [23:53] ZykoticK9, yeah it is probably irrelevant to me since i never see that color in my graph. It was more just a spur of curiosity. But thanks for the help. [23:53] not your terminal [23:53] ghostlines: when you use cp use the -v option, eg. cp -v source_file target_file [23:53] psycho_oreos, ok thanks I'll check itout === Guest60580 is now known as Sharker [23:54] * jsoft is updating to 8.10 [23:54] nossralsuva, thanks [23:54] ghostlines: you wouldn't see a progress bar, but it shows you percentage === Sharker is now known as Guest72830 [23:54] nossralsuva, thanks alot that's more then enough [23:54] marcellus, what is your output of "uname -r"? most common problem with upgrading to karmic seems to be an issue with the kernel/grub not being updated properly (which often results in sound issues) [23:55] ghostlines, no problem [23:55] cp -v? [23:56] meow [23:56] i know gentoo had a patch for coreutils that added a -g iption for a progress bar, but ubuntu doenst have that [23:56] mgolisch, cp -v, the v stands for verbose and if you want you could do it w/ recusive options on, so e.g. cp -rvf source_file target_file [23:56] I need to help my mom out with her computer. is there a way that I can remote into her win7 machine from ubuntu? [23:56] ZykoticK9: I have tried different kernels. The one I used was 2.6.28-15-generic, now I am using -16-generic, but have tried -17-generic too. 31-14-generic didn't work at all. [23:56] VNC [23:56] I have been working HOURS on this stupid server. Same darn problems! Can't connect local or Internet! Help please! === Apollo is now known as Guest89020 [23:57] hlmser: yuo can install a vnc server on your mom's box and rdc with that [23:57] holmser, go to internet>Terminal Server Client, this has the rdp (remote desktop protocol used by ms, using port 3389) [23:57] mgolisch: why is it not in aptitude or apt-get? [23:57] marcellus, you have a kernel issue! 2.6.31 is Karmic! [23:58] I'm trying to find a music player software for ubuntu that will actually work with my ipod...i'm using songbird currently but it's not working properly...are there any others worth considering? [23:58] heoa: probably ubuntu doesnt have cdemu [23:58] how do i boot into safe mode? in grub2 i don't get the menu when grub loads [23:58] ZykoticK9: elaborate === Guest72830 is now known as Sharker [23:59] heoa: you don't need cdemu to mount ordinary iso, just do sudo mount -o loop file_name.iso /mnt [23:59] marcellus, you're trying to use the kernel from a previous version of Ubuntu - and Karmic expects/needs 2.6.31 -- i don't know the fix (i didn't upgrade my desktop did a fresh install, and the VM that i did update worked properly) === Sharker is now known as Guest96116 [23:59] Please help me with my SSH server! [23:59] LetsGo67: whats the problem?
