[00:09] i get the black screen after the begiing of the splash [00:09] smiter, apn means the alternate install cd, it's text based installer, some DOS like graphics, easier on the comp during the install process [00:09] i have tried 9.10 9.04 and 8.10 all give me a black screen once i hit install [00:09] smiter, do you hawe a special video card ?

[00:10] smiter, does the live cd work for you ? [00:10] no.. i mean.. it loads and installs.. but i cant see anything.. i know its there because i hear the drums.. to log in [00:11] smiter, try the alternate install cd it is your best bet and the easiest way to go about it [00:11] richthegeek: can i do something with terminal? [00:12] ok i will download the alt right now and give it a shot.. would it be better to go with 9.04 or 9.10 ? [00:12] richthegeek: trough terminal?

[00:15] pelo, i know there is an issue with my card.. and drivers (Radeon 9200 ati) [00:15] but i thought that was on ly with 9.10 but 8.10 is giving me the same prob [00:15] Hey I just decided to toss ubuntu on my mac as primary os and wondering if its possible to boot straight into ubuntu. Considering I don't have any mac partition so am in able atm to grab refit [00:16] mode -s richthegeek [00:16] smiter, it's not your card specificaly as far as I know, ATI refuses to make their drivers open so and the drivers they make for linux are limited [00:16] smiter: is that an old or new card? [00:16] any idea why i would get a grey box for no reason?, i can move it work space to work space [00:16] hello, is it possible to keep a USB 2,0 external drive to be the same /dev regardless of what other media is connected to USB upon reboot? [00:16] smiter, once you get ubuntu installed with the alt-cd it will install a vesa driver wthat will be enough to get you to boot and then install the correct driver for your card [00:17] or whatever drives are connected in the system for that matter [00:19] hmagoo, the /dev is depended when the drive is plugged in [00:19] Pelo do you have any idea on how to install the driver for the ati cards like the radeon 9200? [00:20] i just was able to mount my ntfs dive but I can see all of my files what can i do [00:21] Well this is a shocker. [00:21] smiter, once you have ubuntu isntalled, you go to menu > system > admin > restricted driver manager , you'll get a choice of drivers to shoose from , if your card is recognised properly, which it should , if not you need to dl the driver from the ATI/RAdeon website and install it manualy, which is not that big a deal , but the restricterd driver manager should work so donT, worry about that yet, just know that you have options if it do [00:21] esn't work [00:21] I was gonna ask a karmic-related question but it appears that's not what I have installed. [00:21] Nevermind then. [00:21] hmagoo: the /dev/sdxy might change, but after you plug it in do a 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/' and find which one is pointing to your usb drive, that won't change [00:21] configuring ufw, what's the FROM TO fields? are those to allow connections in a specific range of ips?

But many of the distros have taken those settings out [02:12] eliot_, just set it to the default player in the properties for a file (such as an mp3) [02:12] eliot, that's easy. just right-click on the media file you want. [02:13] Anyone have any ideas on how to set up sound? I never had sound since I installed the OS. [02:13] eliot_, you may have to edit files in /etc/gdm [02:13] there's a tab called permissions. [02:13] and in it, shows what programs you want to open with it. [02:13] same as windows [02:13] eliot: default for which files? [02:13] gdm = gnome display manager. The login manager.

[02:20] hey all [02:20] what's up [02:20] navidhg: the scroll wheel is used by many applications for scrolling up and down within their own windows === n is now known as Guest28942 [02:20] dhillon-v10: either that or they don't care if the mess things up [02:20] navidhg: so it may interfere with scrolling between workspaces and vice versa [02:20] ardchoille, nah the person I am talking about is in Ubuntu core dev so he definitely cares :D === Guest28942 is now known as n` [02:21] oh I see [02:22] navidhg: try ctrl+alt+left-arrow or ctrl+alt+right-arror [02:22] *-arrow [02:22] but it used to be that when you were on the desktop and you scrolled, it switched deskspaces so how would I go about reenabling it? [02:23] i know the shortcuts but if I could turn on the scrolling it would be good [02:23] is there any way to see and change all the settings for wireless network cards like you could in winblows device manager, such as tx power? [02:23] Is there a command that will make Ubuntu fsck on reboot? [02:23] navidhg: it should still work while the mouse is over the workspace switching applet [02:23] rick_, have you tried iwconfig? [02:23] <_Mandor> navidhg: tried the "keyboard shortcuts" thing? [02:24] i am using find -type d -exec cp "index.php" '{}' ';' to copy index.php to all the folders in a dir..however is there a way to only copy it to only the empty folders? [02:24] sync3times when i run that command it outputs some info but idk how to change it from a terminal prompt [02:24] can install ubuntu-desktop and then reboot without logging in and still be able to connect via ssh? If so how? I tried this in the past and jacked it all up [02:25] rick_, iwconfig wlan0 power p [02:25] sync3times oh okay, thank you [02:25] ubuntu is only keeping a month worth of mail.log, how do i make it keep 6 months worth? [02:25] danfg: it might keep extra copies of the old logs [02:25] where is the rules for /etc/inputrc ? i want edit ^w where can i do that? [02:25] nullpointer, are you sure you want to make copies and not links? [02:26] cool thanks guys [02:26] sync3times, positive [02:26] danfg: like mail.log.* or mail.log.*.gz [02:26] danfg: just change the account settings - it can save forevere [02:26] danny: Did you try to add the command to system > startup applications ? [02:26] danfg: sry nvm [02:26] nullp0inter, cp -i ? [02:26] lstarnes: it's keeping up to .6, i'd like it to keep up to .20 or something [02:26] also, I was wondering if you can run half life 2 on steam over wine smoothly [02:26] how can i resize a partition when i'm logged in on that partition? [02:27] danfg: look in /etc/logrotate.d/ [02:27] sync3times, no i dont thin so [02:27] danny: edit: system > preferences > startup applications ? [02:27] nullp0inter, -n is noclobber [02:27] lstarnes: i don't think logrotate deals with mail.log, nothing about mail in there, it's syslog something that deals with it [02:27] marenostrum: No, I didn't think about that! Is there a specific command or is just "fsck"? === barryberry|away is now known as berrybarry [02:28] danfg: then check /etc/syslog.conf [02:28] danny: as I know dar just it. First try it in a terminal, if it works plainly that command [02:29] Hello when torrenting I always get 0bytes uploading speed. Is it my firewall? I tried sudo ufw disable [02:30] somepoundcake: it might be your ISP or the other seeders that you are downloading from [02:30] lstarnes, I know it [02:30] somepoundcake, check your router [02:30] oops [02:30] wrong words. :P [02:30] where can I find an Operator? [02:30] what is the window class or name for the notify-osd popup? [02:30] gnuplexian: #ubuntu-ops [02:31] navidhg, ive never done that but i wanna try some day... have you googled "wine appdb" [02:31] ? [02:31] sync3times, ty [02:31] no I haven't [02:31] nullp0inter, that worked? [02:31] I'm running steam but its a bit shaky [02:32] i need some project to work on my free time to keep practicing my c/c++ skills, anything of interest to suggest that i can look at? [02:32] sync3times, I still get 144bytes per second download speed. (a lot of the time 0 bytes) And 0 bytes upload. [02:33] somepoundcake, so you get no peers connecting/ [02:33] right? [02:33] yes. [02:33] somepoundcake, how do you make your connection to the internet? [02:33] sync3times, ? [02:34] somepoundcake, dsl, cable, corporate.... === goplexian_ is now known as goplexian [02:34] sync3times, oh wired. [02:34] noshelter, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:34] ethernet [02:34] mezquitale link pls? [02:34] what is the best torrent client on Ubuntu, out of interest? [02:34] somepoundcake, if you do the /sbin/ifconfig command.... do you see an address that looks like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x ? [02:35] navidhg, i think Transmission is awesome [02:35] !best | navidhg [02:35] navidhg: 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. [02:35] Kk [02:35] Sorry! [02:35] noshelter, I would like to have drag and drop of mp3 files be implemented into mixxx, the programmers say it's not trivial, but I haven't programmed in ages [02:35] sync3times, 192.168. [02:36] hey guys [02:36] i'm trying to discover a bit what's the uefi [02:36] noshelter, can we take this conversation to #mixxx? [02:36] somepoundcake, so you are behind a NAT Firewall. probably your modem you will have to change settings there to make sure the peers can get in [02:36] i've read the wiki seeing that it's a sort of multiboot replacing the mbr [02:36] so the grub [02:37] mezquitale sure, but this is the first time i look at this project, so patience with me pls :) [02:37] sync3times, hmm how could I do that? :| [02:37] my laptop has this capability and uefi shell [02:37] somepoundcake, type ip route | grep default [02:37] i would like to know what's interesting in uefi [02:37] sync3times, default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 proto static [02:37] maybe we could go no offtopic if someone can explain me that well cause i have little question about it [02:38] thx [02:38] danfg: try editing /etc/logrotate.conf. There is setting in it for the amount of time to hold files [02:38] do you know of any application which supports vst plugins? [02:38] somepoundcake, put 192.168.0.1 into the address line of your web browser [02:38] I need an alternative to things like ableton [02:39] sync3times, sorry I wanted to try wireless and it still doesn't work. [02:39] I am using ubuntu 9.10 and i've deleted my bottom toolbar. I have built a completely new one exept for my battery life indicator how can i make one of those? [02:39] on wireless now though [02:39] Xarver_, ? === ass is now known as hole_ [02:39] Xarver_, iwconfig? [02:39] sorry for my nick [02:39] Anybody know the difference between CUPS setting up an HP printer as "usb:" vs. "hplip"? I'm having trouble finding anything that explains the difference. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:40] akk, different protocols of communicating between the computer and the printer [02:40] sync3times, I am somepoundcake [02:40] anyone here thats pretty good on intelfb and such+ [02:40] Okay now Im REALLY pissed off [02:41] WoW still wont work even now on Gnome again [02:41] Xarver_, ah well, a little exercise.... [02:41] I dont understand this [02:41] mt [02:41] Xarver_, :) [02:41] apn: CUPS wanted to choose usb:[long detailed url] so I let it, and I'm trying to find out if that's why it doesn't seem to want to set some of the printer properties. [02:41] do you get wow to work over wine? [02:41] navidhg: have a look at ardour [02:41] lstarnes: it does say "rotate 4", but, inside /etc/logrotate.d/, there is nothing related to mail. so is logrotate.d just erasing the mail.log and not doing the other things? === shenzhong is now known as xanadu [02:41] apn: If I switch that to hplip, does that mean it'll run HP backends that do the right thing and find the printer on USB? [02:41] Xarver_, you have to be hardwired to connect to the router [02:41] anyone here thats pretty good on intelfb and such+ [02:42] danfg: it is rotating mail.log using the default global settings in /etc/logrotate.conf [02:42] sync3times, ok. [02:42] akk, it should not be the reason. it just the way it communicates. on the other hand, you can try. [02:42] Xarver_, too much security on wireless usually. [02:42] Xarver_, how are you getting wireless? [02:42] danfg: you can add an extra entry in /etc/logrotate.d. Look at the existing files there fore examples [02:42] I am using ubuntu 9.10 and i've deleted my bottom toolbar. I have built a completely new one exept for my battery life indicator how can i make one of those? [02:42] !ardour | navidhg [02:42] *for [02:42] Xarver_, wireless routers are firewalls [02:42] when using my vga card ubuntu starts fine, but when trying to connect my machine to a lcd tv using a dvi card, i get "failed to restore intelfb crtc error" [02:43] anyone? [02:43] Okay anyone here know xterm scripting?? [02:43] so...I am currently using archlinux and have been for awhile but wanted to give my wife something more user-friendly on her laptop so I put ubuntu on it several months ago and updated it to karmic not that long ago [02:44] xterm environment scripting [02:44] problem...anyone know how long it takes ubuntu to release software like thunderbird 3.0 to the repos? [02:44] lstarnes: if you say so. i'll change it then to "rotate 32" (8 months i guess). i know something is already doing the rotation (syslogd?) so i won't add anything regarding mail.log in /etc/logrotate.d/ [02:44] lstarnes: thanks [02:44] gehzumteufel, you mean bash scripting? [02:44] danfg: do you want to do that for ALL logs, or just mail.log? [02:44] hi all [02:44] textex, can you paste logs? [02:45] leprechau: No, this would be xterm shell scripting that I am referring to [02:45] apn, its kind of hard as it fucks up before i manage to enter ubuntu [02:45] it just starts giving me this error and blinks with the screen [02:45] gehzumteufel, xterm is just another terminal app .... it's not a shell [02:45] I am constantly on SSH for work, but I have 40 servers I ssh between, and determining which one is which, is a bitch [02:45] gehzumteufel, some terminals allow you to create "menus" is that what you mean? [02:45] someone told me to add i915.modeset=0 somewhere, but i dont know where and when [02:46] I am using ubuntu 9.10 and i've deleted my bottom toolbar. I have built a completely new one exept for my battery life indicator how can i make one of those? [02:46] sync3times: basically, I want the app to detect what the prompt is on connection. That way I don't just see user@server9827450924 [02:46] textex, the files should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:46] textex, the log [02:46] And have an alias with that prompt [02:46] an alias for the tab [02:46] I'm trying to install kubuntu-karmic onto an computer with repository dvds, When I write apt-get install it asks several times for same dvd. [02:47] gehzumteufel, that's easy to do...just setup your login profile(s) on the servers you are connecting to [02:47] apn, any idea where i should enter the i915 command? [02:47] Once i came to some kind of grub menu before boot, but i cant get back to it [02:47] gehzumteufel, what do you want to see? [02:47] gehzumteufel, also check out: http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/ [02:47] leprechau: well I was trying to avoid that, so that I don't have to do it on every server. There are 40 of them. [02:47] textex, press esc during grub menu [02:48] gehzumteufel, well your servers should have proper names to begin with..it's pretty bad practice to give your servers non-descript names [02:48] gehzumteufel, you could use a modern terminal that has profiles and the profiles will log you in and set the title to the window [02:48] sync3times: such as? [02:48] gehzumteufel, gnome-terminal and konsole should both be able to do it. If not , try putty [02:48] I use konsole [02:48] Is there any way to make a new power icon on a new panel? (if I accidentally deleted my bottom panel) [02:49] But then I would have to change the profile for every server [02:49] I want this all automated [02:49] gehzumteufel, no you don't ... konsole will do it if you just pass the option to konsole when you start it [02:49] sync3times, ok. What do I do? I have 0 seeds and 0 peers [02:49] gehzumteufel, setup some 'book marks' that start konsole and set the title [02:49] I start 1 instance and open multiple tabs [02:50] gehzumteufel, well, in putty, you could create a file that has all the profiles in it. It would be a simple cut and paste. [02:50] Bookmarks don't set the title [02:50] gehzumteufel, but that's still nasty ... set your freaking profiles [02:50] leprechau: the profiles would still need changing with every tab [02:50] or session [02:50] gehzumteufel, you are trying to do something locally that should be done on the server side [02:50] agreed [02:50] lol [02:51] So how do I change it on the server? [02:51] Xarver_are you hardwired now? [02:51] I only have remote access....I can do it via bashrc right? [02:51] sync3times, yes [02:51] Xarver_ browse 192.168.0.1 [02:52] Is there any way to make a new power icon on a new panel? (if I accidentally deleted my bottom panel) [02:52] hole_: I am still on 9.04 but I see the power manager applet among toolbar applets. When the battery is full it doesn't show up on the toolbar [02:52] sync3times, ? [02:52] gehzumteufel, sure... first read here: http://www.mit.edu/afs/athena/system/x11r4/src/mit/clients/xterm/ctlseq2.txt those are all the standard escapes [02:53] Xarver_ put 192.168.0.1 into your browser location bar. The firewall blocking you is administered in this way [02:53] ok [02:53] gehzumteufel, and in your bashrc or profile stick something like: echo -ne "\033]0;"TheWindowTitleHere"\007" [02:53] Okay I just redifined PS1, but what do I do to put it in brackets? [02:53] anyone help me? [02:54] hole_: right click on the toolbar, click add and you will see it there and click add [02:54] sync3times, it asks me for a username and password. And all of a sudden I am getting 120kb download speed. But 0 upload speed. I need upload speed. :| [02:54] Anybody have a Dell Studio XPS 13? What can you tell me about driver support(WiFi and nVidia hybrid SLI support in particular)? [02:54] nm [02:54] Got it [02:54] woah [02:54] I started uploading. :o [02:55] Xarver_ tell me everything on the web page [02:55] sync3times, 401 Unauthorized [02:55] gehzumteufel, actually google just gave you a better one than I did: http://www.fvue.nl/wiki/Bash:_How_to_change_tab_and_window_title_of_console [02:55] Xarver_ hit back [02:55] sync3times, ok. [02:56] leprechau: sick thanks! [02:56] sync3times, then what. [02:56] hole_: Any success? [02:56] does it say what brandname you are dealing with? [02:57] hold on [02:57] Xarver_ what does the menu say when you to to 192.168.0.1 [02:58] apn, http://www.pastebin.com/m7ea096d [02:58] its 192.168.0.101 [02:58] apn, xorg0 log [02:58] does anyone have any thoughts as to why lid-close events don't seem to be working if I just use an xinitrc instead of running gdm? I'm using Karmic on a MacBook Pro, it all works perfectly if I use gdm. I don't see anything obvious in syslog, it's like something else is trapping the event before it gets handled. [02:58] sync3times, I get my apache server [02:58] working on it [02:59] How do I search through the package manager [02:59] Xarver_ are you routing through your server to get to the internet? [03:00] nevets04: dpkg -l | grep [03:00] no i still cant find it on that list or online [03:00] sync3times, I have a server for testing php. [03:01] So it shows all of my www files sync3times [03:01] Xarver_ are you routing through your server to get to the internet? [03:01] sync3times, not sure. [03:01] hole_: disconnect your power cord to let applet show up on the toolbar. [03:01] Xarver__, does your server have multiple ethernet cards? [03:01] sync3times, it's not really a server, let me stop apache [03:01] i have deleted my toolbars and had to make new ones [03:02] Xarver__, no point [03:02] sync3times, oh. [03:02] hole_: in what? gnome? [03:02] yes [03:02] sync3times, well It's not a server, just for testing php stuff. [03:02] DVI-D-I: NO EDID data [03:02] anyone know what it means? [03:02] Xarver__, the software its running is not relevant [03:02] hole_: log back out and log back in and .gconf should re-generate as default [03:02] It seems hplip doesn't work on karmic with cups. :( "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" trying to send any print jobs to it using the hplip settings. [03:03] sync3times, yes but this is a desktop computer. Not a server. [03:03] Xarver__, your server is a separate box? [03:03] lstarnes: sorry. i'd like that for mail.log only, but i don't see any alternative, there is nothing about mail.log in logrotate.conf or logrotate.d [03:03] sync3times, I don't have a server. [03:03] blue1 did already [03:03] Xarver__, so did you put 192.168.0.1 into the web browser? [03:03] akk: mine works fine... [03:03] danfg: then add something for it [03:04] it asked you for a password. I want to know what else was on that page [03:04] Blue1: How did you set up your printer? Maybe I'm doing it wrong since there are at least 3 different ways. [03:04] hole_: you removed .gconf right? [03:04] danfg: I'll see if I can find an example [03:04] sync3times, it doesn't give me anything. [03:04] akk: indeed [03:04] akk private message okay? [03:04] sync3times, and once again it's 192.168.0.101 [03:04] Blue1: Certainly, appreciated. [03:04] how can i remove .gconf [03:05] Xarver__, type ip route | grep default [03:05] hole_: at a terminal prompt - type rm .gconf [03:05] k [03:05] then logout and log back in - it should re-create it it... [03:05] Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for an entry-level 5.1 soundcard which will be compatible with karmic/pulseaudio? [03:06] sync3times, yes but it does nothing [03:06] Hi everyone! [03:06] sync3times, I can't login. [03:06] does or will UBUNTU support TRIM for SSDs? [03:06] Blue1: it tells me its a directory [03:06] Xarver__, what does it say...before you try to login? [03:06] I remember way back when there were two tuxes that started up for each processor how to I turn that back on when I run linux [03:06] hole_: oops my bad [03:06] I added add to playlist option through Nautilus Actions Configuration in right click for audacious but the mp3 added through add to playlist are not playing in audacious [03:06] hole_: rm -rf .gconf [03:06] danfg: save the contents of http://pastebin.com/d4d4b519f to /etc/logrotate.d/mail as root [03:06] or: to anyone who has a soundcard which works fine with karmic and pulseaudio, what is it? :P [03:07] hole_: rm -r [03:07] What is the command to search the package manager [03:07] k done loggin' out [03:07] lstarnes: i'm looking into syslog.conf, i don't think logrotate deals with mail.log. i mean, it can deal with it, but syslog is already doing log rotation for it. [03:07] danfg: logrotate handles almost all log rotation [03:08] danfg: including mail.log and almost everything else in /var/log [03:08] sync3times, Nothing [03:08] danfg: I don't think syslog rotates anything without using logrotate [03:09] correct [03:09] Is there any way to tweak Xubuntu and make it run even faster?...Thnax [03:09] sync3times, DI-624? [03:09] Xarver__, so it just says login and password? [03:09] ...Thanx [03:09] How do I learn about SSH'ing into ubuntu? [03:09] !ssh | [03:09] : SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [03:09] I want to learn all of the commands, etc [03:10] tylerplack: man ssh [03:10] Xarver__, username admin password blank [03:10] or just know how to use a server environment [03:10] tylerplack: the commands used in shells over ssh are usually the same that you would use with a direct login [03:10] tylerplack: generally you must be running the openssh server on the target machine... [03:10] Xarver__, sorry, wrong line Username User password blank [03:10] sync3times, doesn't work. [03:10] ok [03:11] Well I have a VPS and I am trying to learn all about SSH so I can take advantage of it [03:11] so would this be a good link for me? [03:11] http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1 [03:11] tylerplack: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [03:11] sync3times, what will this do? [03:11] I will try that blue1 [03:12] I have it installed [03:12] now what? [03:12] Xarver__, there weill be options inside there for applications/gaming/dmz to poke holes in the firewall and allows the peers to reach your machine [03:12] ...I don`t see to be able to set sound volume, any tips? [03:12] sync3times, What if I mess something up? [03:13] Xarver__, do you have a printer? [03:13] no. [03:13] hey there ? is someone having enought time to explain me how i could get my uefi fonction working with Seven and Ubuntu. I've seen and read that it has amazing performances to optimise boot time and i think it would be stupid not to use it. If someone is having a bit of time to help me. [03:13] Xarver__, well you could take a screenshot of any page you change so that you can change it back. [03:13] what is the next step to understanding the world of ssh? I got the openssh-server, is there a command list somewhere? Is it like IRC? [03:13] :| [03:13] Xarver__, and you can do research to see what you need to change [03:13] sync3times, well strangely it started uploading [03:14] am i the only one slightly concerned for the speed of ubuntu and in particularly wine? [03:14] on my pc [03:14] tylerplack: ssh has no special commands [03:14] Xarver__, well, I got you as far as I can. [03:14] protojay: is it slow? [03:14] lstarnes: how can I get started? [03:14] tylerplack: it works just like a regular terminal or command line session in linux [03:14] its like 3d rendering is fast as heck, but loading game/levels is slow [03:15] tylerplack: in a terminal: ssh user@IP [03:15] what are some commands I should learn? [03:15] I know how to get it running, etc [03:15] tylerplack: to connect to your local maching using your own user account, use ssh yourusername@localhost [03:15] and I know the basics [03:15] ive got a 2ghz dualcore intel with 3gb ram and a fast gfx card by ati [03:15] !cli [03:15] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[03:16] lstarnes: i created /etc/logrotate.d/mail with your pastebin. thanks, i hope it works [03:16] any idea why my network connection would be sparatic? it works for a min then stops, then spirts everything out 30 seconds later [03:16] hehe, i thought wine wud be faster than winblowz :P [03:17] anyone else having issues with network stability in 9.1? [03:17] sync3times, ok. [03:17] protojay: no, they focus on compatibility. [03:17] hey guys - I got a video here that VLC is shoving the actual contents of the screen to the very far left. I cant fuigure out why. It plasy perfectly fine in dragon player but in VLC it doesnt. Its weird. What can I do? [03:17] Blue1 thank you for helping me [03:17] tylerplack: man ssh or man scp to login to a box type ssh -x user@host [03:17] tylerplack: this has allot of beginner stuff: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [03:17] er wait, ssh user@host [03:18] hole_: did that work?

[03:18] hole_:nice to hear it [03:19] tLoFP: its manuf dependant.. i suspect it will soon, but wait dfor the firmware to come out === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away [03:21] tylerplack: for everything you want to know about ssh http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596008956 === BOE|Zack is now known as ZeekDaGeek [03:22] So I do what I thought was the sensible thing and ran apt-get upgrade and now my machine is unbootable. The last message on the screen is fsck caliming /dev/sda2 is clean. Even when I click the recovery mode option I get the same message. How can I determine what broke? [03:24] crc32, What are you running? [03:24] 9.10 [03:25] Other then that I wish I knew. This was a clean install 3 weeks ago. What log file should I be looking in. The fact that even recovery mode hangs leads me to suspect grub is screwed. What could have happened. [03:26] crc32: can you boot to single user mode? [03:26] hey [03:26] What log file would tell me what happened. Ubuntu Kinda changed everything about the way it bots so I don't know. [03:26] crc32, can you get to /var/log/apt [03:27] hey, how do i install gnu gdbm in ubuntu server? [03:27] i have a mouse with 4 buttons so i want to change the paste high lighted txt from middle mouse button to my number 2 mouse button how would i do this or what would i google to find out [03:28] How do I go single user? Is it like "linux 1"? at boot? The video is really slow. [03:28] ewww linux can be irritating at times [03:28] What is the default Firewall in Ubuntu? [03:28] !firewall | heoa [03:28] heoa: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [03:28] crc32 If I remember right add "single" to the end of the boot line === andrea is now known as Guest74875 [03:29] How would I give a user permission to use a usb device?

[03:29] "error: insufficient permissions for device" when trying to rub a debugger on my phone. [03:29] or how do i change paste txt via shift ins to a differant keybinding [03:30] like I only want to patch the first part of this dd image with a different mbr/pt [03:30] Ok..! im trying to instal some software under wine but it spans multiple disks, how do i unmount the cdrom in order to change disks when the installer asks for it? [03:30] !wine | protojay [03:30] protojay: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:30] webbb82: I use the xmodmap file to remap my mouse buttons [03:30] So why can't I just hit "C" linux single? [03:31] !virtualizers [03:31] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [03:31] crc32: what happens when you try to do that? [03:31] protojay: Virtualbox :) [03:31] !Virtualbox [03:31] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [03:31] virtualbox is awesome [03:31] protojay: the non free, is free as in price, not freedom [03:31] !freedom [03:31] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [03:31] cgkades: indeed [03:31] oh phew, thats good [03:32] nothing Its at some stupid grub shell that I've never used before [03:32] Is there any way to move my AWN dock to second display [03:32] How do I log into php admin? I dont remember making a username O.o [03:32] protojay: it also has USB support unlike the Open Source Edition [03:32] protojay: as of Virtualbox 3.0 there is some Direct3D 8 support, that you could try for a few games, it might be alright, depending on game, and your computer [03:33] you can get 3D Windows games working in Wine, some will just work. 2D Windows games same thing, and those should be alright in a vm a lot of them [03:33] seriesly How do I boot ubuntu into single user mode. Thats not a menu option [03:34] i got photoshop cs3 to work in wine, also office 2003 [03:34] pretty impressive [03:34] crc32: is there a recovery mode option? [03:34] protojay: plus there are some pretty good native Linux games :) [03:34] yes recovery mode does the same thing. It goes to fsck then claims the file system is clean then hangs [03:35] cgkades: most of Office 2003 just works, as for Photoshop CS3 you had to configure to get that working well or? [03:35] perlmonkey: system > administration > users and groups then choose the user > properties > user privilages and give any right you want [03:36] Would anyone happen to know why I get the following error when trying to edit files on my NTFS drive: "Input/output error" [03:36] sebsebseb: i ddint have to do any tweeking [03:36] cgkades: and it works well? [03:36] My mounting line reads as follows -> /dev/sda1 /media/hdmain ntfs-3g user,fmask=0111,dmask=000 0 0 [03:36] sebsebseb: i think so... i didn't do that much with it [03:36] crc32: I'd have to reboot to get the command lines, I don't have any vm's on my laptop to walk through it, but there should be an option to edit the boot command which should give you a bunch of things already on the line you would have to add single to the end of it. [03:36] cgkades: ok [03:36] which library provides ldap.h? [03:37] if you give me a minute I can check on my desktop. [03:37] crc32, if its hanging before it gets to the menu, I don't know that single-user mode is going to help much; break=mount might be more useful to figure out why things are hanging [03:37] what is the command to edit the gconf so that it opens a app with tabs and u can mess with the settings [03:37] gconf-editor [03:37] gedir congf ??? [03:37] WTF? Why did ubuntu punish me for upgradeing like it suggested. [03:37] crc32: ok, do you have the install cd? [03:37] !language | crc32 [03:37] crc32: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:37] crc32: oh you just gone 9.04 to 9.10? === _spcBNC is now known as spcBNC [03:38] hey all [03:38] rdeshpande: hi [03:38] sebsebseb no I fresh installed 9.10 2 weeks ago then did apt-get upgade and then rebooted. The machine didn't survive. [03:38] crc32: if you boot the install cd you should be able to mount the hdd and get to /var/log/apt/term.log file [03:38] sebsebseb do i need a fresh copy of windows or is windows emulated ala wine? [03:39] ok i juist did edit gconf but it says file not found what the heck this is what it says Error stating file '/home/brian/Gconf-editor': No such file or directory [03:39] crc32: use the live cd option when booting [03:39] protojay: Wine does not run Windows, it gives you basically a sort of fake WIndows install, that then tricks many Windows apps into thinking (well apps don't think, but you get the idea I guess) that they are running on Windows [03:39] where did it go [03:40] protojay: quite a lot of apps just work and work well, others need some configuring [03:40] it's effectively a reverse engineered implementation of the windows api's that appsuse [03:40] Error message is gave up waiting for root device. === pendekar_mabok is now known as pendekar_sexy [03:40] I installed off a ubuntu minumum install CD meaning its just a netclient that downloads pacakges and installs [03:40] webbb82, Gconf-editor isn't gconf-editor [03:40] crc32: do you have only one kernel? [03:41] protojay: it's also not an enulater, it's a compatability layour, for running Windows apps [03:41] i see [03:41] what is the command then [03:41] protojay: then for real Windows and other OS's even, virtual machines :) [03:41] grrr my dvd drive is b0rked again [03:41] I wish I could find all those people who say, "Linux will never be able to compete with Windows," and then force them to develop software in Windows. It's been a long night, I'm very frustrated, Ubuntu I miss you, I will be back soon, but good lord will Windows EVER be anywhere near as developer friendly as linux? [03:41] Yea just 1 kernel. I did the boot single user mode and I'm stuck at some whered initramfs prompt. [03:41] protojay: some things a vm can't do, but you can do most Windows stuff in a vm, depending on your computer, how much RAM you have and such [03:41] crc32, ls /dev/sd* [03:42] What happnes after fsck since thats where ubuntu is dying [03:42] sebsebseb: so if i use an virtualmachine, i need a copy of windows on cd/dvd to install? [03:42] crc32, one of them that comes back you should be able to do this with: mount /dev/sda1 /root [03:42] (try each one) [03:42] endeavormac: your making software for Windows? :( [03:42] crc32, when one succeeds (i.e., doesn't print an error) [03:42] cwillu_clone, do u know the command [03:42] crc32, press ctrl-d [03:42] webbb82, gconf-editor [03:42] protojay: yes or an ISO [03:42] ah right [03:42] webbb82, _not_ Gconf-editor [03:42] transmission should do that nicely :) [03:42] Honestly am I looking at a reinstall here? [03:43] Whats the steps? [03:43] oh the capital G ? [03:43] protojay: however when it comes to apps this is how it should be done really :) 1. native Linux apps :) 2. Wine or even commercial paid for versions of it. 3. virtual machine 4. psyical Windows install [03:44] protojay: 1. will fit most computer needs :) [03:44] sebsebseb: argh yeah, this is terrible. Try searching for documentation on anything with Windows. MSDN covers 5 different languages for the whole project "Windows." I think I would like to 1) develop games 2) create a server 3) write a driver. Well all the code for all of that is encompassed in one mega project, who documentation is incredibly frustrating to go through, and wtf I don't want C# I want C++... Alright I'm done [03:44] crc32: reinstall may be the easiest fix, specially since you just installed [03:44] i see seb [03:44] :) [03:44] having too many hardware problems with this damn laptop [03:44] crc32: I'd download the livecd and try to fix it prior to a reinstall, although I'm guessing there's a console on the netinstall cd as well. [03:44] ill leave it till tommorow [03:44] m4v lady where are u :P [03:44] I see fsck declare /dev/sda2 is clean then the network card blinks then poof it dies. [03:44] acer 6920's suck....! [03:45] Anybody know how to install the acm java libraries in 9.10? [03:45] I really hate ubuntu for convoluting the boot process like this. [03:45] protojay: hardware issues such as? [03:45] crc32: is your hard drive making any weird clicking noises? [03:46] protojay: that's good your blaming the lap top not Ubuntu :) yeah Ubuntu on hardware that isn't supported properly by it can be a pain, since lack of manufacture support [03:46] sebsebseb, oh, its problems ive had for ages while running windows, cdrom takes AGEEES to read certain dvds or cds [03:46] on linux, trying to mount it returns an error [03:46] protojay: oh that issue is on Windows as well hmm, could be a failing cdrom drive [03:46] until the drive feels like reading the media [03:46] yeh [03:46] I really don't feel like reinstalling till I know why this broke. I can't help but think this will happen again. [03:47] im wondering if i could get an external dvd [03:47] but meh... [03:47] there is a rescue mode on the minimul CD but I suspec I won't have any command line tools [03:47] endeavormac: oh you swore in the big message, which you shoudn't really do here. Oh and Linux distros have great development tools. [03:48] sebsebseb i know [03:48] endeavormac: to both things or just the second bit? [03:48] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs? [03:48] crc32: don't be so sure, I'm guessing you will be able to mount the hdd, and there will be at least, vi and less [03:48] dsnyders: what file format are those in? [03:48] the min CD is going into rescue mode but apparently it needs to download them. [03:48] crc32: it won't happen again. reinstalling is OK. Web upgrade has always a little risk. [03:48] sebsebseb second bit, didn't know this channel was really, i don't know the word, nonsweary [03:49] I've never had any problems with apt-get upgrade [03:49] marenostrum: I can just tell this is a hardware driver or something and reinstalling will just reintroduce the bug. [03:49] sebsebseb, I don't know. [03:49] I'll be back I'm going for a soda. [03:49] dsnyders: well there is a type of Windows file that can be opended on Desktop Linux, there's an article hmm, I didn't read it properly yet though, so don't know if that's what your after [03:50] dsnyders: (in fact I didn't even open the actsaul article up, just read a bit on the site where it was mentioned) [03:50] crc32: do you have the chance to test with a 9.10 live cd? [03:51] test [03:51] mereonstrum: No I don't have a real CD just a min install which is a 10meg ISO [03:51] alow [03:52] Even so the CD will be useing older packages. This bomb happened hafter apt-get upgrade [03:52] This is pretty much why I left gentoo. [03:52] hello [03:52] hi [03:53] sebsebseb, My vista is in a critical error loop. Upon booting, it gives me an error message and reboots a minute later. I need something to view the event logs to help diagnose the problem. [03:53] Hey, anybody know how i can install the acm java libraries? [03:53] whats vista === echelon is now known as echelon_ [03:53] dsnyders, isnt a minute long enough to read the message? [03:54] dsnyders: you can open .cfm files in Ubuntu, but I don't think that's what your after [03:54] Where does bootlogd keep its logs? [03:54] I'm enableing this. [03:54] dsnyders: are you getting the Blue Screen Of Death? [03:54] Umm hi [03:54] protojay, It's long enough to read the "critical error. Your machine will reboot in one minute" message, but not long enough to read the event logs. [03:55] dsnyders, oh dear, thats a problem :) [03:55] !windows | dsnyders [03:55] dsnyders: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[03:55] Dude how do you reboot once you've made changes from Rescue mode [03:55] Hiya [03:55] protojay, No kidding. [03:55] crc32: when your in the terminal or? [03:56] Is there a Driver updater for Linux? [03:56] garret, sudo killall X [03:56] Or can Wine run Driver Genius or one of those? [03:56] anonymous3, driver of what [03:56] crc32: you say "upgrade" not "update". I understand as upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. 9.10 live cd gives a strong idea about the drivers of 9.10 even if the backages are updated.Means,if your machine runs 9.10 live, it will for sure run 9.10 installation. Find/create a 9.10 CD and test, if you listen to me. And what's more you can reach/edi your existin files with it, a well. [03:56] All I have is a terminal. [03:56] anonymous3: no it can't run Windows drivers [03:56] Anybody know how to set up an hplip printer? CUPS is setting mine up as usb:, not hp:, so some things don't work right.

[03:56] I'm not able to edit files on my NTFS partition, I keep getting the following error: "Input/output error" [03:56] I was already running 9.10 The system said there were 9 packages to be updated so I said "apt-get upgrade" [03:56] No...any driver thats needed [03:56] Graphics chip [03:56] Sound [03:56] crc32: shutdown now -r or sync;sync;reboot [03:56] sync3times: X: no process found [03:57] garret, try Xorg instead [03:57] A linux driver updater [03:57] anonymous3: ok first of all go to system > administration > hardware drivers [03:57] anonymous3, they are upgraded with your kernel [03:57] anonymous3: find out if anything is available [03:57] reboot did nothing [03:57] halt did nothing [03:57] ok how do I start it once it's killed? [03:57] shutdown did nothing. [03:57] Ummm no I don't have linux at the moment... [03:57] Alt-Ctrl-Del did nothing [03:57] garret, sane systems will restart it automatically [03:57] shutdown -r ?

[03:58] crc32: As far as I know "upgrade" is not "update". Maybe you jumped to some nightlies of 10.04. If so, 9.10 isstill OK for you. [03:58] I have 10.0 [03:59] Where does bootlogd keep its log [03:59] but Its not installed [03:59] could somebody please tell me how i install x64 java on my ubuntu?

[04:01] Ummm then I used the alpha? [04:01] Ubuntu keeps insisting I upgrade packages and I'm like "Sure ok, this is ubunto not Gentoo, ubuntu would never screw me over for just applying upgrades." [04:01] anonymous3: no [04:02] maybe it was 9.10 [04:02] anonymous3: you can't get the alpha from the main website [04:02] Could someone direct me as to where I can find the font "Sans Bold" on my Ubuntu installation [04:02] anonymous3, 9 is the year it came out in, 10 is the month. if you have 10.0 that means it came out in 0th month of 2010 [04:02] Ohhhh [04:02] crc32: Even on LTS, upgrades sometimes mess things up. :( [04:02] o ,i find ,thanks [04:02] anonymous3: well that's a start knowing which version of Ubuntu you actsaully have === echelon_ is now known as echy [04:02] anonymous3: then you can load it up, test your hardware, tell people what doesn't work when running the Live CD, and go from there [04:02] speaking of grub, is there a way that I can tell grub-mkconfig to not scan sda2 for os's [04:02] Oh ok === echy is now known as [echelon] [04:03] er wait, tell it to ignore sdb [04:03] anonymous3: you made it sound like all your hardware wasn't working when on the Live CD [04:03] if its not worth installing x64 java on my system just let me know and i wont lol [04:03] No...I went on mozilla [04:03] akk: Never happend to me before except on gentoo.

[04:05] jtrucks, nm-applet is the easiest. [04:06] Ubuntu's just my favorite. :P [04:06] Could someone direct me as to where I can find the font "Sans Bold" on my Ubuntu installation? I can't seem to find it in /usr/share/fonts. (BTW Not FreeSans or Liberations etc) [04:06] Ummm I have an integrated chipset....so maybe Ubuntu didn't have a driver for it [04:06] crc32: Ouch. Can it boot single-user? [04:06] anonymous3: what video card do you have? you may need to install the correct video drivers [04:06] Thats why I wanted to know if there is a Driver updater [04:06] anonymous3: main thing, is that it looks ok, and your Internet works [04:06] reinstall grub boo loader woulden't help me right since well a kernel came up already. [04:06] anonymous3: when you install, you will get updates [04:06] anonymous3: after install, you will get software updates [04:07] yeah but I won't get new drivers [04:07] my server seems to take forever to reboot. it seems to get stuck on "saving the system clock" any tips on speeding up this process? [04:07] anonymous3: and you can also try system > adminstartion > hardware drivers and install stuff that is available if anything [04:07] anonymous3, you will [04:07] oh well lol que the crickets i guess [04:07] Are KDE and GNOME apps backwards-compatible with each other? [04:07] anonymous3: do a lspci from a shell and see what it lists as a video card === charitwo` is now known as O_o [04:07] akk: Nope this problem happens before even that as it hangs right after fsck supposedly give the file system a clean bill of health. It feels more like this problem is during the ramdisk chroot to the root file system. [04:07] Belinrahs, no. but you can use any app in any de [04:07] anonymous3: also most hardware support is built in to the Linux kernel itself, it's just graphics cards and wireless where people usually have to get drivers seperatly [04:07] Belinrahs: If you mean GNOME apps running KDE and KDE apps in GNOME then yes. [04:07] ChaoticXSinZ: I'm tweaking/fixing my sister's mini 9 ubuntu machine (she isn [04:07] i'm thinking i should of just stuck to the 32bit :) [04:07] That's basically what I meant, yeah. Thanks [04:07] 't comouter savvy === nick_ is now known as Guest94922 [04:08] skitzo: Trouble with 64 bit? [04:08] Or something like the root file system isn't being mounted or mounted read only or something stupid like that. [04:08] anyone got an idea how to login to the netbook remix? [04:08] ummm I have a Wireless adaptor...and the Ubuntu Wireless thing caught the networks pretty well [04:08] While I'm still talking, could anyone suggest a C++ programming environment for Linux, similar to Dev-C++ for windows? [04:08] Belinrahs, if you mean IDE there are plenty [04:09] ChaoticXSinZ: Network Manager is installed, but I casn't find where I can make it show wifi strength on the panel [04:09] ChaoticXSinZ, hey dude, well not trouble just need help.. i just want to know how to install x64 java or is it even worth it since firefox isn't x64 [04:09] Right. Any suggestions? [04:09] Belinrahs, eclipse [04:09] Belinrahs: Eclipse or Netbeans [04:09] anonymous3: ok install it then :) [04:09] Okey doke sounds like I'll try eclipse. [04:09] But I don't know exactly what the driver is......so thats my main worry [04:09] Belinrahs, eclipse, anjuta [04:09] Belinrahs, vim is good as well. [04:09] crc32: Could it possibly be something related to bug 447747 ? === FuzzyKittens-TC is now known as TangentCollision [04:09] And I've heard Intel has problems with linux [04:09] skitzo: I have everything running fine on my 64bit. java flash firefox, chrome etc [04:09] anonymous3: if it was just working on the Live CD, it is likely to on a real install as well [04:09] Belinrahs: codeblocks is good too [04:10] anonymous3, on average, not. [04:10] crc32: I had a "can't boot" problem because of that, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447747 [04:10] anonymous3: certain Intel graphics cards and Ubuntu 9.04 yes [04:10] Oh... [04:10] yea the boot log is empty so it has to be during the root file system moun WTF? [04:10] (but I thought it was supposedly fixed ... maybe the fix broke other things) [04:10] I want to upgrade my kernel is this the easiest way? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [04:10] jtrucks: Try typing ALT-F2, then "nm-applet" then Run [04:10] anonymous3: ,but you said you booted up 9.10? and everything looked ok, so your fine [04:10] it fails on inserting my nvidia and vbox modules [04:10] ChaoticXSinZ, so is it worth installing x64 java then if say im running a 32bit java application on my x64 system [04:10] I need to save whatever I need to a flash card [04:11] apn: I can [04:11] anonymous3: you should be able to do that using the Live CD [04:11] skitzo: JAVA programs are neither 32 or 64 bit as far as I know [04:11] anyone know? [04:11] and I heard Linux Mint is good for beginners...so thats distracted me [04:11] ibkanat: no, those kernels wont work for nvidia, etc [04:11] apn: I don't see nm-applet in the 8.04 repos this is configured for. do you recall where I [04:11] d look for it? [04:11] I can save windows files using Live Cd? [04:11] anonymous3: only thing with a Live CD, is if your computer turns off or re boots, you lose what you did, unless it went on the hard disk or something [04:12] ChogyDan which ones will? [04:12] ChaoticXSinZ: please don't spread misinformation [04:12] ibkanat: why do you want to upgrade your kernel? [04:12] ibkanat: I think this has a newer kernel and work for faster booting, http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-boot/ppa/ubuntu [04:12] blakkheim: What flase info? [04:12] anonymous3: Mint is based on Ubuntu, your not meant to get support for it in here. Ubuntu has a much bigger user support community than Mint [04:12] anonymous3: also Mint isn't a really good distro [04:12] ChaoticXSinZ: about 32/64bit programs [04:12] vbox performance on guest is terrible I improved it with a build but read that upgrade fixes [04:12] hey I cannot see parts of my menus and bottom trays. [04:12] ! python [04:12] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org [04:13] anyway thanks for your help [04:13] jtrucks, it is installed, and it's in main repository. press alt+f2, type nm-applet, press enter. [04:13] its like v.sync is off, how do I adjust in ubuntu. Using a Vizio hdtv 32" via hdmi [04:13] ChogyDan where should I look for a 64 bit build? [04:13] ibkanat: is it the 32bit kernel? I know that is in lucid === ethicx is now known as geneticx [04:13] Hi...new to Linux, using Xubuntu can`t set volume (sound), any tips??? [04:13] blakkheim: He asked if JAVA programs are 32bit/64bit but aren't they just compiled to java byte code which is interpreted by the Java runtime (which is 32 or 64 bit) [04:13] I would like 2.6.33 [04:13] hi, does anyone know if I can extend /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose with a dot file in my home directory? [04:13] So if this little screw job is hapening during the original mount on boot up how the hell do I fix it? [04:14] Hermitcrab, do you have any error when you try to open volume control? [04:14] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/current/ [04:14] ? [04:14] Hermitcrab: it's ok to ask here, but you can also try #xubuntu [04:14] OK sebsebseb , didn`t know... [04:14] what are the drm and drm-next? [04:14] I know the steps are boot kernal copy to initrd , load modules, fsck file systems, then mount root file system read-write. [04:14] apn, Not at all...let me try again... [04:14] That last step is where I'm getting screwed over how do i fix this? [04:14] Hermitcrab: yes didn't think you did, hence the message :) [04:14] ibkanat: I don't really know, but those mainline kernels won't work with the nvidia drivers. You may be able to install the drivers manually, and virtualbox by grabbing it from the website [04:15] or does anyone know of another way to define your own compose key sequences? [04:15] Wha config file initscript mounts the root file system then chroots it? [04:15] PepeSilvia, you can link it with symlink (ln -s ) [04:15] I click on it and it open Mixer [04:15] apn: how do you mean? [04:15] ibkanat: you could also try just installing the lucid kernel. You could also just upgrade to lucid, but it is in the very early stages, and will suffer breakage [04:16] PepeSilvia, in gconf-editor (if you don't like the gui) [04:16] is there another safe place to look for recent kernels? [04:16] I chose Master in Select Controls [04:16] ibkanat: a later kernel why? it's useually best to stay with kernels from the Ubuntu repo [04:16] ChogyDan is there a list of whats broke? [04:16] good afternoon. i'm accidentally give ccsm opacity 0% and now i'm not be able to see it because it's transparent. is it possible to delete the config of ccsm? thanks [04:16] PepeSilvia, ln -s somewhere somewhere. the system won't even realise it's different place. for more info man ln [04:16] apn: I don't understand. All sequences are defined in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose but I don't want to edit a file owned by root, that gets overwritten everytime an upgrade comes along [04:16] ibkanat: nope [04:17] ChogyDan: that's bad advice suggesting people like ibkanat upgrade to the lucid kernel [04:17] ibkanat: there is probably a ppa for a later kernel, but why do you want one? [04:17] hmmm. something isn [04:17] sebsebseb performance in vbox is horid in the karmic kernels [04:17] t right here. [04:17] hey does anyone know what the "command" would be to paste text im setting upa a hotkey and want it to paste highlighted tet so i need to find out the command that is given to paste [04:17] or is the command just paste [04:17] apn & ChaoticXSinZ thank you for the pointer. now I can see why it isn [04:17] sebsebseb: mk... [04:17] t running. [04:17] ibkanat: that's probably more to do with your graphics card and RAM [04:17] jtrucks: NP [04:18] ibkanat, virtual box works just fine on my machine, try configuring the amount of memory and video ram [04:18] sebsebseb no its a known bug that kernel upgrade fixes [04:18] ibkanat: ok well look for a ppa for a later kernel then [04:18] So any one know how to get the root file system to mount? [04:18] I have quad core 8 gigs or ram and fast graphics [04:18] ibkanat: there is probably something on launchpad [04:19] could you point me in the right direction [04:19] ibkanat, true, you still have to configure those settings into virtualbox, make sure your BIOS is using the most ram for video as you can === fabiano is now known as ffr76 [04:20] http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5501 [04:20] ibkanat: uhmm Ubuntu 9.10 kernel ppa on Google or something like that, will bring one up I guess [04:20] ibkanat: launchpad is the trusted source for ppa's [04:20] ah I found my answer! You can use ~/.XCompose [04:21] crc32, yup. cfdisk it. [04:21] crc32, sorry, fsck [04:21] ibkanat, try installing ubuntu studio using and use a real time kernel [04:22] mMezquitale: ibkanat uhmm the Ububuntu Studio packages can be installed into a standard Ubuntu install [04:22] apn: fsck just checks for bad blocks its what happens after fsck that I'm trying to fix. [04:22] ibkanat: Try the ubuntu-boot PPA, as I think it has a newer kernel than stock karmic. [04:22] Could someone direct me as to where I can find the font "Sans Bold" on my Ubuntu installation? I can't seem to find it in /usr/share/fonts. [04:22] mMezquitale had big problems with it... dont know why thats what I tried 1st [04:22] ChaoticXSinZ: ah yes Windows font [04:23] ChaoticXSinZ: you can copy in fonts from Windows. or you can install packages for Windows fonts from the repo [04:23] ibkanat, you have problems with ubuntu studio real time kernel? [04:23] thanks looking [04:23] sebsebseb: I can see the font in GIMP already so I know its on my computer but I can't seem to find the file. [04:23] !font [04:23] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:23] yeah 2.6.-9 rt [04:23] crc32, you said it bumps you into single user, right? [04:23] 2.6.31-9 rt [04:23] good night! [04:23] sebsebseb: The font is already installed, I just want the file. [04:24] ChaoticXSinZ: ok I don't know about that [04:24] crc32, if you are in blackbox, repeat the fsck [04:24] apn: No matter what I try it hangs right after fsck declares /dev/sda2 is clean. [04:25] ibkanat: found a ppa by using the key words I suggested or something similar? [04:25] crc32, load single user mode, and fsck. that's my bet. [04:25] ibkanat, i had the same problem, I solved it by going to ubuntu studio controls and made sure ubuntu studio didnt lock memory, then went to virtual box and gave around 50% of memory to virtual box, set video memory to 128MB, audio sounds awesome with XP as guest OS [04:25] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/10/get-dramatically-faster-boot-times-in.html [04:25] is this it? [04:25] the facebook photo uploader doesn't work for me in chrome or firefox. [04:25] apn: How do I go single user mode? [04:25] can someone help me troubleshoot it? [04:25] ibkanat: Yah that is the ubuntu-boot ppa [04:25] or what your calling single user mode? [04:26] All I can do is boot off another medium then mount the file system [04:26] how do I install 64 win7 inside virtualbox? is that even possible? [04:26] kheera: yes [04:26] kheera: you will need hardware virtualization on though in your bios I expect [04:26] mMezquitale hmm I got the stutter to stop but not with usb just need a little fast to run magic jack on it [04:26] apn: How do I go single user mode? [04:26] kheera: if your computer has it, if not you can't do 64bit vm's if I remember correctly [04:27] i have a question. when my laptop isn't used for a few minutes, it doesn't go to sleep the monitor just blinks. does this prefent pixel screen burning? [04:27] kheera: I think your processor needs to support VT-x or AMD-V [04:27] hey guys i have about 20 mpg video that i would like to burn to a dvd and play it with my home dvd player, i used DeVeDe and tried using PAL and NTSC and none of them work after burning to a DVD.. what can i do? [04:27] crc32, in grub options for the kernel append init=/bin/bash [04:27] kheera: that's the hardware virtulization what ChaoticXSinZ put [04:27] crc32: pretty sure the single user mode is the same as recovery mode [04:27] ibkanat, I also set # of processors to 2 on virtualbox, it works great, Im using 64 bit AMD [04:27] sebsebseb: ack. crappy 64 bit acer aspire laptop w/ intel t4300 cpu. any ideas... should I go for a reboot or give up now? [04:27] ChogyDan, it is not [04:28] I just tried installing realtek audio drivers [04:28] now my alsa-utils can't seem to find my sound card [04:28] sebsebseb: thanks for your help tho. [04:28] kheera: how much RAM? altough I expect more than enough to virtual machine Vista version 2 (Windows 7) [04:28] i have a question. when my laptop isn't used for a few minutes, it doesn't go to sleep the monitor just blinks. does this prefent pixel screen burning? [04:28] mMezquitale mine runs best on one thats why I know there is a problem [04:28] the installation of the drivers stopped when it tried to run alsaconf, which ubuntu doesn't have anymore [04:28] 4gb ram [04:28] can anyone help? [04:28] i meant prevent [04:28] I built my own kernel and it ran better but not like its supposed too [04:28] oorah: how much of the screen actually stays a color? [04:28] kheera: yep that's enough RAM for sure, ok uhmm so hardware virtualization enabled in the bios if your computer can do it [04:28] hello is there an audio graphic equalizer available? [04:28] kheera: ,but also in the virtualbox vm settings [04:29] sebsebseb: the win7 virtual box install said cpu doesn't support 64 bit [04:29] kheera: sure, but [04:29] kheera: it will say that, when it's not enabled [04:29] sebsebseb: i'll try to find the vm setting [04:29] Dark27Mage, the whole display blinks quickly. i'm wondering if i need to set it to dim or if the quick blink will prevent screen damage [04:29] kheera: you need to enable the feature in your actsaul BIOS [04:29] k [04:29] kheera: Its under the advanced tab of system in virtualbox [04:29] kheera: if the BIOS has the feature, and then also in the virtualbox vm settings [04:29] hello [04:30] thanks lots [04:30] kheera: maybe it's already ok in the bios, just needs setting up in virtualbox [04:30] kheera: The setting in virtualbox might be gray if not possible [04:30] anyone know of a good paste bin app [04:31] webbb82, app? [04:31] oorah: as long as none of the screen is steadily on it would be fine. [04:31] kheera: if you look at the description for kvm say in synaptic [04:31] kheera: they mention a little test, that can be done, to test if you got hardware virtualization or not, but of course bios needs setting up first [04:31] apn init=/bin/bash yeils file not found where are you getting this from? [04:31] kheera: if bios is not already ok [04:31] enable vt/x is what i'm after eh? [04:31] Dark27Mage, oh ok thanks. i'm assuming its a system screen protective measure [04:31] kheera: yes [04:32] I'm accessing my jailbroken iPod touch using PuTTY (ssh) - what command will retrieve files or a set of files from the device to my Linux system? [04:32] i guess i have to reboot to get into bios. see you later. thanks again. [04:32] crc32, the unix way. ubuntu way might be different. one sec. [04:32] ibkanat, must be an issue with your CPU then, you should follow the bug report and check "/var/messages" for anything interesting [04:32] oorah: no, the computer is not supposed to do that. Something is broken software or hardware. [04:33] apn: before you send me on a wild goose chase can I boot off rescue disk then run fsck? [04:33] Belinrahs: You probably want sftp. You can mount it straight in nautilus, though [04:33] Belinrahs: Places -> Connect to Server -- select 'ssh' [04:33] i installed google chrome browser today, it rocks [04:33] Oh, that sounds even better, thanks! [04:33] oorah: Chromeium is the open source version, that Chrome is based on [04:34] its being looked at thought I might be able to find a new kernel that would fix it [04:34] http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5501 [04:34] oorah: (I was going to put Uhmm at the begining of that) [04:34] crc32, in ubuntu you have to append single [04:34] is chromeium better than chrome? [04:34] not really keen on trying lucid in alpha [04:34] oorah: they are rather similar, but I guess chromeium is better really since it's open source :) unlike Chrome [04:34] usally messes up production [04:35] jzman: lol [04:35] :) [04:35] trying to install ubuntu along side vista and xp, when installer boots goes to select time zone and stalls have waited 1+hour never had taken this long b4 any ideas [04:35] which is faster, chromeium or chrome? [04:36] !offtopic | oorah [04:36] oorah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:36] oorah: uhmm you can try both, but chromeium :) [04:36] I really can't believe have 0 tools to diagnose this. /var/log/boot is blank which leads me to beleive the system is dead before the root file system can mount read write. Does any one have any suggestions at this point in the game to figure out what driver is loaded what acually fails? I'm completly blind since nothing is in /var/boot/log [04:36] /var/log/boot [04:36] oorah, they have the same engine, they are equally fast. [04:36] oorah: also when it comes to a web browser, how good it is at supporting web standards, is the most important thing really, and security. http://www.w3.org http://www.webstandards.org [04:36] if someone tells me to look for a config file in ~/.cohernce, is "~" a directory in my filesystem? [04:37] nflava: $HOME [04:37] crc32, the only one you need is your file system. it might be provided in initrd, so make sure it's there. [04:37] really what could have changed thats preventing the file system t mount? [04:37] crc32, hd errors, the serious ones [04:37] ne1? [04:37] chromium is a the name of a metal.. and also the correct spelling [04:37] so why can I mount the File syste when I boot off another disk? [04:38] !u > lozernoobfreek [04:38] lozernoobfreek, please see my private message [04:38] is $HOME different from my home folder?

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 :) [04:38] ?? [04:38] apn: Yea thats kinda the rub what package upgrade did this to me? [04:38] nflava, try echo $HOME [04:38] I'm on ext3 like every one else I thought. [04:38] lozernoobfreek: what do you need?? [04:39] sebsebseb: no, i wasnt talkin to anyone in particular [04:39] fujimitsu: ok [04:39] crc32: 9.10 uses Ext4 by default, previous versions use Ext3 by default [04:39] apn: in a terminal window? [04:39] crc32: 9.04 Ext3 installs that get upgraded to 9.10, won't get Ext4 or Grub 2 on upgrade [04:39] nflava, yes, it will tell you what $HOME is [04:39] I don't trust anything new which is why I picked ext3 [04:39] i cant install ubuntu i have vista and xp on here but ubuntu wont go past the time zone select screen during install [04:40] * kheera grumbles about lack of bios options. [04:40] how to make ubuntu to become DHCP with only one eth [04:40] hey guys i have about 20 mpg video that i would like to burn to a dvd and play it with my home dvd player, i used DeVeDe and tried using PAL and NTSC and none of them work after burning to a DVD.. what can i do? [04:40] i dont know where to go [04:40] lozernoobfreek: did you get an error message? [04:40] no [04:40] crc32: having / in 9.04 in Ext4 really makes a differnet, not properly stable there since the kernel and such. I did a boot up and shut down test for 9.10, Ext3 and then Ext4, didn't really make a difference [04:40] im running in trial mode now [04:41] lozernoobfreek: what did it do exactly? [04:41] mine, right click on nm-applet, edit connections, and here edit any interface you want to modify [04:41] Crap like this is why I like to use older more tested technologies. Its hard to sell me ext4 when ubunto can't even boot now. [04:41] its just sitting there after i clicked forward [04:41] crc32: oh right your doing 9.10 yeah? [04:41] how can i create a configuratoin file? [04:41] crc32, lesson learned. [04:42] can MAC be changed , apn [04:42] lozernoobfreek: so you can run it with a live cd? [04:42] i can cancle but thats it [04:42] crc32: 9.10 is a bit hmm, certain hardware that used to work fine in 9.04 not working, that type of thing. 9.04 is the better release for many of us really :) [04:42] yeah thats what im on now [04:42] apn: what lesson Dont trust ubuntu past 9.04? [04:42] ive had it on here before [04:42] lozernoobfreek: your on what 9.04? [04:43] lozernoobfreek: what happens when you canceled it last time? [04:43] 9.10 [04:43] mine, mac address? no, and yes. not there. but you can mask your mac with different one.

We don't need another dangours distro like gentoo. [04:44] lozernoobfreek: is your system already a dual boot with xp & vista?

[04:44] Theres not happy medium Distros are either cutting edge opps sorry you can't boot anymore or too Old like RHEL where your still on python 2.4 or other ancient technology [04:44] crc32: that will probably be a pretty good release :) [04:44] thank you ,apn [04:45] yep [04:45] starcannon, holly sh*t :) longgg ! [04:45] lozernoobfreek: how? [04:45] crap. so some acer laptops have vt enabled by default and others have it disabled by default and fro what I can tell there is no bios option to enable it. mine is disabled. [04:45] starcannon, thanks .. let me see if i find good info in there [04:45] crc32: RHEL is for business though, Fedora the community version isn't though, they also get loads of new stuff before Ubuntu gets it [04:45] sebsebseb: Yea I was on 8.04 because it was stable and wanted to stick with a distro that would be supported for a while. Then I saw that 9.10 started in October was declared stable and had support for anohter 2 years. The desire for more recent packages kinda burned me. [04:46] i had vista w/ purchas and xp givin to me when a friend upgraded to windows7 [04:46] crc32: ok did you ever do 8.10 or 9.04 ? [04:46] does anyone like suse 11.2 for a good server? [04:46] !ot | jzman [04:46] jzman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:46] IdleOne: beat me to it :) [04:46] sebsebseb: We use rhel at work and it sucks for business cause it forces you to build just about every package you want so in effec you literally become your own micro distro. [04:46] lozernoobfreek: what software did you use to get it to dual boot? [04:46] so i installed behind and redid the boot loader and it works [04:47] if i install ubuntu onnto my external hard drive will i see a big performance drop rather then installin it on my normal pc [04:47] crc32: there's CentOS as well based on Redhat [04:47] jzman, yes. yast makes a good gui basic administration tool. their scripts are not slackware sane, but standard sane which is enough. [04:47] and this has gone off topic now [04:47] i need help [04:47] crc32: ,but one last thing for the off topic, Mandriva One 2010 uses RPM's and is a rather nice distro :) [04:47] !help [04:47] 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. :-) [04:48] Simple stuff like I want an ODBC connector for Sybase. Then poof your building your own RPM along with building an RPM for every dependency. [04:48] when i start ubuntu, it won't go to the grub menu [04:48] apn : thanks, i was deciding what is best to use ubuntu, debian, suse, centos for a server [04:48] RHEL sucks even for business. Your Engineers don't really engineer anymore they send all day building RPMS. [04:48] jzman, the last 3 are fit. [04:48] crc32: try Mandriva or something like that :) and they don't like off topic in here [04:49] shadeslayers09: did you try using the live cd to get into the os. Then reinstall grub? [04:49] i don't have the live CD [04:49] shadeslayers09: how far can you boot? [04:49] easybcd [04:50] apn : i have had good deals with centos, debian was decent... have not tried suse or ubuntu yet for a server [04:50] I was happy with ubunto 8.04 untill I installed rails and ruby gems and saw how old it was then came to the concusion I guess its time to upgrade then poof nothings the same. Ubuntu is useing Grub2 some weird ass replacement for sysv-init scripts and nothing looks the same. Where was the version inbetween? [04:50] i haven't gotten the xp all the way set up [04:50] Who ever is useing 8.10 can you tell me what version of rubygems it came with? [04:50] comes to the option between vista and ubuntu, i click on ubuntu and instead of having the options of ubuntu (normal) and ubuntu (recover) i get a thing like the terminal [04:50] lozernoobfreek: grub might be having trouble with the dual boot you already have. [04:50] crc32: 8.10 and 9.04 are the versions in between [04:51] shadeslayers09: google "how to restore grub" [04:51] crc32: 8.10 will run out of support when 10.04 comes out or around then. 9.04 at the end of October or November [04:51] hey, can someone help me follow the directions on a tutorial about installing some software? I can't seem ta figure out what to do... [04:51] * ChaoticXSinZ is having so much trouble finding one simple font that is already installed on my computer. [04:51] is there ne thing i can do? [04:51] is there a way of installing only grub2 from the 9.10-alternate cd ? or, would the "fix broken system" option do that? [04:51] maby 9.10 will stablelize. I'm hopeing so [04:51] It can't get any worse right? [04:51] !fixgrub | Mr_Lordi shadeslayers09 [04:51] Mr_Lordi shadeslayers09: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [04:52] NeuroFuzzy: I can [04:52] crc32: well it's only/useually security updates from the repo [04:52] http://www.tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200901/avr-gcc-linux.shtml is the link to the tutorial [04:52] lol ubottu [04:52] crc32: 8.10 is my favourite release over all since 8.04. ok it lacks Ext4... and ethernet didn't work on other computer [04:52] sebsebseb: And hopefully bg fixes. Any chance ubunu will go back to sysv-inits? [04:52] shadeslayers09: ubottu brings a good porint. what ubuntu release are you using? [04:53] i'm getting error messages from a lot of the commands [04:53] crc32: sysv-inits what are you refering to? [04:53] the latest [04:53] hi all [04:53] NeuroFuzzy: what have you been able to do? [04:53] shadeslayers09: look up restorig grub2 [04:53] restoring [04:54] you know the rc.d sequential boot up? [04:54] crc32: Grub 2 is here to stay, like it or not. GDM 2 the new log in screen is here to stay like it or not. This is really off topic for this channel, but 10.04 the next one, will have a better boot up, or so it seems. [04:54] shadeslayers09: how fresh is your install? you might be better off blowing the partition away and starting over [04:54] crc32: It will use Plymouth which Fedora and Mandriva already use. [04:54] i need to buy a new laptop - what are the manufacturues with the best ubuntu support? [04:54] 10.04 is off topic? [04:54] Where it says to type everything in, the "Download" command isn't recognized. When i right click the link and press "save as", then cd to the file dir and type the tar command, it says there's no such file or directory [04:54] Whats off topic sebsebseb? [04:54] crc32: well there's a specific channel for it #ubuntu+1 [04:55] crc32: upstart is what replaces the sysv stuff [04:55] sebsebseb: its still ubuntu and this is the ubuntu channe; [04:55] just installed it [04:55] shadeslayers09: just start over [04:55] crc32: anything that isn't support for the final versions of Ubuntu that are currently supported, so that's 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10 [04:55] I just wish I knew what went wrong so the problem doesn't repeat. [04:55] ok [04:55] thanks for the help [04:55] !lucid | crc32 Mr_Lordi [04:55] crc32 Mr_Lordi: 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 [04:55] is it /etc/network/interfaces where to change MAC? [04:55] in the easybcd it has a selection for linux, and i have it installed from befor i used the app can i over ride the windows boot loader and insert the grub to take over from there [04:56] sebsebseb: dont nazi [04:56] !ot [04:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:56] crc32: ok now you understand yeah? [04:56] I guess. Where is fsck in the rescue disk? [04:56] How can I install phyton on ubuntu? [04:57] I'm trying to fsck /dev/sda2 like apn suggested. [04:57] !python | snoopy [04:57] snoopy: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org [04:58] Is fsck not apart of rescue mode? [04:58] i dont get it ive had 5 os's installed [04:59] snoopy: sudo apt-get install python [04:59] python is already installed on ubuntu. [04:59] ah, thanks dude [04:59] i think its installed by default. just type python in terminal [04:59] crc32: I was going to put that :) [04:59] broken apps like "apt-get" coulden't punish you for upgradeing with out python. [05:00] crc32: broken apps hmm [05:00] crc32: sure sometimes apt-get mess's up, but useuaully it works well [05:01] apn: Yup fsck reports /dev/sda2 is clean. And I had to boot into knoppix to get it. Seems fsck wasn't avaliable on my Ubuntu rescue mode. :| [05:01] Anyone using xbmc that can help me out with scripts ???? [05:01] Ghost21: what kind?

[05:02] I want to add sound playing capabilities to my ubuntu server. i have installed alsa and pulseaudio. I also installed mp3blaster, but i can still not play music, what else do i have to install? [05:02] Ghost21: your best off finding the xbmc channel [05:03] lexvegas: you need to install something that will work with your hardware [05:03] whats the default name of my dvd drive? [05:04] Mr_Lordi, alright. I was hoping there would be a simple fix. i should have known better. oh well [05:04] SuperMiguel: in terminal type : ls /media [05:04] might say dvd0 [05:04] cdrom0 [05:04] cdrom and cdrom0 [05:04] cdrom0 [05:04] hello, anyone have experience with VPN? [05:04] And I'm still disabling gdm [05:05] VPN connection works, then drops out [05:05] lexvegas: just thought those guys would have more experiance with the scripts.. im my tooling ive noticed they are finicky at best [05:06] Mr_Lordi, im using a program and is asking me for burn to device: i tried putting /media/cdrom0 and it says thats not a burning device [05:07] I'm having a problem with reboot times. it seems to completely hang on "saving the system clock" how might I rid myself of this problem? [05:07] SuperMiguel: sounds like its not mounted... [05:07] Mr_Lordi, yeah. oh well thanks [05:07] not mounted properly [05:07] Mr_Lordi, the blank cd icon is in my desktop... [05:07] SuperMiguel: ok [05:07] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs? [05:07] Mr_Lordi, and i can just click on it and burn to it.. [05:08] Mr_Lordi, but not sure about its path [05:08] SuperMiguel: is your media bad? [05:08] nup [05:08] SuperMiguel: /dev/sr0 .. this also is a link to your cd/dvd drive [05:09] SuperMiguel: what app are you using ? [05:09] Mr_Lordi, tovid [05:09] I'm having a problem with reboot times. it seems to completely hang on "saving the system clock" how might I rid myself of this problem? [05:09] TangentCollision: do you have advanced graphics enabled? [05:09] Mr_Lordi: it's a server I SSH into, I sure hope not [05:10] haha [05:10] how would I check? [05:10] TangentCollision, You might be experiencing a connection problem with a time server [05:10] I'm not sshing into it right now, it's set up with my monitor [05:10] TangentCollision: dont worry about the graphics, i though you were on a desktop [05:10] that's the only reason I know it's hanging there [05:10] it's a desktop, definately [05:10] TangentCollision: ... [05:10] it's just setup as a server [05:11] TangentCollision: ok, so you have a gui up? [05:11] right now I do, xserver with GNOME [05:11] you dont have compiz enabled right? [05:12] if I had thought about it, it would be lxde, but I didn't think about it [05:12] compiz? [05:12] well made it to keybeard layout [05:12] TangentCollision: im going to say its a safe bet you dont have any graphics acceleration going on. some times X hangs when its shutting down advanced compiz settings [05:13] ? how can I make "find . -print" just look at the current dirrectory and not subdirs ? [05:13] hmm, Mr_Lordi: what would I look at to check all of that? I never went through much on graphics [05:13] what is compiz? [05:14] protojay: it is the window manager that is used for providing special desktop effects [05:14] matelot: ls? :f [05:14] and you can talk nerdy to me, I've been doing this for about 9 years [05:14] TangentCollision: advanced graphics is not enabled by default so if you know that you did not enable it you are fine [05:14] DaZ, I want to display FULL PATH of the files [05:14] roger that [05:15] eh [05:15] is there anyone here that knows about color management for art and design software on Ubuntu(kde/gnome), and hardware for color management? [05:15] tomicide, yes i know a bit [05:16] Mr_Lordi: any idea how to disable x from starting on default? [05:16] tomicide, what do you need to know [05:16] matelot: did your try the -ls switch? [05:16] I know I never enabled it on my laptop, but it's definately enabled for my server [05:16] hi, i'm having a problem, i thought i had something under crontab -e for a user, but it's not there... this process starts up with the server, where else might i have put this startup command? [05:16] Mr_Lordi, on what command ? [05:17] TangentCollision: yeah, if you google it there will be a tut [05:17] cool [05:17] matelot: give me a sec .. let me see if i can do what you want [05:17] alright then, I'll check there and lay around here [05:17] tomicide, you there still? [05:17] yeah pull path of files in current dir (or preferably any dir) [05:17] matelot: what exactly are you trying to do?

[05:21] skitzo, Do you just want to single boot into linux? [05:21] no i just don't want ubuntu to load it at all so its unseen in linux [05:21] just the drive [05:21] how do you start up a process in SSH and it not close when you close SSH [05:21] Is there a way to get to a normal desktop with Ubuntu NBR? === ubuntu_ is now known as git__ [05:22] i still wanna be able to dual boot at startup [05:22] what program can i use to cut audio files?

I decided to try installing Ubuntu onto an external drive and booting the netbook from the drive. I installed it onto the drive from my big laptop. I did not know about "GRUB", which is an OS selector? Anyway, I can't get past it to get to Windows without the external HD.. If anyone could help, much appreciated. I'm very new to Ubuntu. [05:29] woot installing [05:30] oddly enough, I just looked up "Niggardly" on dictionary.com and it's unfortunate the way it's pronounced...such a useful word with such a shameful name [05:30] evan__: are you familar with linux at all? [05:30] evan__: have you mounted your windows drive? [05:31] evan- just do a usb drive install onto your netbook's hd [05:31] I can't. [05:31] I tried.

[05:39] greetings; i'm really stumped and can not seem to find an answer in forums; my system does not seem to run dmraid -ay before it runs the mount -a during boot; every time i get dumped into a command i run dmraid -ay then exit and it boots as normal; i have moved my /home onto a fake raid drive [05:40] what do i edit fix the boot? [05:40] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs? [05:41] anyone know of a good SATA 2.0 raid controller that does raid 5 and supports 6 drives? [05:42] dsnyers: open with text editor === danopia is now known as danopia-in-hidin [05:43] bluesherpa do you want cheap or good? [05:44] rocketraid are cheap and acceptable while adaptech are really good but pricy [05:45] something with onboard memory is preferable to avoid the fakeraid thing [05:46] software raid is pretty good these days. given the speed difference in modern cpu vs drive bandwidth. [05:48] How can I install libstdc++5 even though libstdc++6 is latest version? [05:48] bluesherpa: ROCKETRAID 2320 might fit your needs [05:50] where do i edit the early boot procedure? [05:51] I have a few questions, I just bought a Netbook for my C/Unix programming class because i need my normal laptop for my Algo class. Anyway i would like to know. Should i install Ubuntu 9.10 or Kubuntu 9.10. The netbook has a Atom N280 and 2gb of Ram. Which one would perform better? [05:51] how would I tell ubuntu to force? reboot [05:52] how would I tell ubuntu to force reboot? [05:52] would it be reboot -f? === danopia-in-hidin is now known as danopia === ai6pg is now known as AI6PG [05:52] microhaxo: they will both perform similar, but Ubuntu has a netbook specific release called Ubuntu Netbook Remix that will work well [05:52] shutdown -r now [05:53] severity1: that's what the command reboot does, is it not? [05:53] init 6 [05:53] asdfasdf [05:53] I saw several videos of that and i believe i used a 9.04 build on an older pc of my moms, i wasn't too impressed with it. I didnt like that i was limited to 1 window. [05:53] TangentCollision, yeah [05:53] TangentCollision:"shutdown -r now" [05:54] the reason I ask is because I'm getting a hang on reboot at "saving the system clock" [05:54] to reboot - try "sudo shutdown -r now" [05:54] * TangentCollision facepalms [05:54] I know how to reboot ubuntu, I'm asking how to FORCE [05:54] as in no confirmations [05:55] is your system time showing the correct time? [05:55] press the powerbutton for 5 secs. [05:55] don't do that [05:55] that's dangerous. [05:56] >_> [05:56] severity1: to answer your question, it's a server, I want to reboot remotely, and "reboot -f" works [05:56] hahaha [05:56] but it hangs during reboot? [05:56] yeah [05:56] it hangs during normal reboot [05:56] cbecause of system time error? [05:56] because of saving system clock [05:57] have you checked the bios [05:57] severity1: to answer your question, it's a server, I want to reboot remotely, and "reboot -f" works [05:57] microhaxo: if you want better performance than KDE or Gnome go with Xubuntu. It runs great. I use it and am very impressed [05:57] Is there a UNR-specific channel available? [05:57] di||itante: Another happy xfce user here :) [05:57] xubuntu on my 701 blows win xp out of the water on my t91 [05:57] akoimeexx: what is UNR in complete-lay-mens terms? [05:58] at what part does it hang? [05:58] Ubuntu - Netbook Remix [05:58] dainsane11: you are using an eeepc? [05:58] yep [05:58] why use xfce? go for lxde [05:58] I dont like the limitations of Netbook Remix, i will check out the Xubuntu [05:58] Hi. I installed kubuntu 9.1. And when I try to install using the repo dvd it asks for same dvd many times. [05:58] it's much lighter and lets you chill on the harddrive consumptions [05:58] how do i stop pidgin new im windows to pop up and to start minimized in compiz ? [05:59] still having trouble getting the t91 to run proper with linux [05:59] the whole gma thing [05:59] Windows 7 runs Great on this particular netbook but i need to have linux on it for this class. will be doing a lot of terminal coding and compiling. [05:59] kdas: #pidgin [05:59] microhaxo: Windows 7 is spectacular [05:59] @TangentCollision Having issues with Wi-Fi not connecting in Netbook Remix on an HP Mini 1010nr [05:59] This might seem like a strange question, but in the game Farmville on Facebook, whenever I put my mouse cursor over the game, it keeps the default mouse and then adds the in-game mouse under it. Is there anyway to correct that? [05:59] TangentCollision: they told me its a WM thing [05:59] microhaxo: Xubuntu will do great for that [05:59] Nice, thanks for the help! [05:59] kdas: then talk to your window manager channel [06:00] GEAOMMGOOGM [06:00] my iq is dropping rapidly in this channel to compensate! leaving! [06:00] does anyone know where i can find monodevelop 2.2 .deb's for karmic? [06:00] TangentCollision: ubuntu is shipped with compiz so ? [06:00] can some one help me setup compiz so new pidgin IM windwos start minimized? [06:01] apt [06:01] Sorry [06:01] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs?

Following the different steps via the compatible systems page on the wiki didn't seem to corrent the issue. Hotspots show up, but can't connect. [06:05] anyone in here familar with installing on a machine with a radeon 9200 vid card? [06:05] <--running from corner to corner banging his head on the wall [06:05] Pls help me [06:06] :| I read that Xubuntu is buggy, this true? [06:06] lol [06:07] microhaxo: whats buggy about it ? [06:08] hey can someone help me recompile kernel fir v machine ? [06:09] i need to recompile the kernel in order to use virtualbox [06:09] I haven't used it for a while but a few youtube vids say that there are some major bugs with some things not displaying, like exand panel bug etc. Maybe it was for the BETA or RC of 9.10 [06:09] its dated Nov 15th, here is link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UldNMiUB9HQ [06:11] I have just installed hardy server and wondered how i could install a minimal gnome desktop? [06:11] kickar: you shouldn't need to recompile the whole kernel [06:11] kickar: recompiling the module should work if you have the kernel headers [06:11] Package libstdc++5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source <-- What other source can I use to install this version of libstdc++ so that I can use a Dell A920 (Lexmark Z600) printer? The only driver I can find works with libstdc++5 and not libstdc++6. Anyone? :3 [06:12] kickar: it should do it automatically when installing the deb [06:12] S0LIDUS: why would you want gnome on a server/ [06:12] cyphase, thats what i thought too i am using the 9.10 32 bit [06:12] kickar: it should definitely work.. it did for me [06:13] blackheim, I am using it for the memory extension [06:14] man... version upgrade.. trudge trudge trudge... [06:14] anybody here know how to stop ubuntu looking up/loading the windows partition? (not unmounting, completely gone..) [06:15] edit the fstab? [06:16] cyphase, how to recompile the kernel module ? [06:16] skitzo: make an fstab entry for that partition and set the "noauto" option [06:16] kickar: i don't know, i've never needed to.. it just works [06:17] di||itante, Will that prevent mounting if he double-clicks on the partition? [06:17] I have a frafic acard intel on laptop and dirver mesa, and it works very slowly wht can i do? [06:17] grafic [06:17] di||itante, talking to a moron bro lol i need to be guided like a little child i'm afraid lol windows has warped my fragile little mind [06:17] dsnyders: no [06:17] skitzo: That it has. [06:17] mizery: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkZ605 [06:18] gee thanks andy lol [06:18] skitzo: ok, no problem... You have a dual boot and want to prevent Ubuntu from mounting and making available your windows partition when you boot into Ubuntu, right? [06:19] skitzo: :P [06:19] di||itante, correct [06:19] dainsane11: sorry, had lost link there [06:19] skitzo: ok, just curious, why? [06:19] mounting the partition shouldn't be too much of an additional burden... [06:19] hello, everytime when i start with Ubuntu, then i must use "metacity --replace", because there r no title bar :( [06:20] legend2440: Yay, thanks! Now I must figure out how to add the Jaunty Jackalope Main Universe repository [06:20] di||itante, don't want a shred of windows in ubuntu? lol besides that when i mount my mass storage drives from my other hd's the windows drive is mounted to and anybody can go through its file system [06:21] using a java irc client [06:21] who is anybody? who else is using your system? [06:21] Leoneof`: Under, system>prefs>appearance>desktop effects, change that to none. Sounds like something's bad with compiz for you. (it may be possible to configure it to work, but this workaround should save some hassle until then and I don't know how) [06:21] i just want my two storage hd's with all my media and the filesystem for ubuntu [06:21] skitzo: and you dont wnt to just delete the old windows partition/ [06:21] using a java client [06:22] what server am i connected to? [06:22] Guest12102, did you have a support question? [06:22] freenode [06:22] just like it is in windows without ubuntu's partition (however thats because windows cant read it :) [06:22] Apparently apparmor and glib just had security updates. Two questions: 1. I didn't have /boot mounted when updating; I mounted it afterwards and ran update-initramfs -u, will that do all the necessary work? 2. Should I reboot to get the security updates to apply? There's nothing in USN about this update. [06:22] tonnyarusso: i see, thank you [06:22] Guest12102, freenode [06:22] Guest12102: Freenode [06:22] thank you [06:23] no i still want to dual boot between the two i just dont want either os to contain each others partition [06:23] di||itante, can skitzo disable the ntfs module somehow? [06:24] mizery: download libstdc++5 from here and install it http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libstdc++5/download [06:24] skitzo: ok, do you know how your Ubuntu system labels the windows partition, i.e. "sda3" ? [06:25] can someone help me recompile kernel for vbox ? 9.10 [06:25] thats better [06:25] thanks for the server info [06:25] yep sda2 [06:26] thanks to dsnyders :) [06:26] yeah i have a question if anyone can help [06:26] kickar: you don't need to recompile the whole kernel [06:26] vst wrapper for ubuntu? [06:26] kickar: look in /usr/src/ for vboxdrv [06:27] !anyone | seeme__ [06:27] seeme__: 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? [06:27] anyone help me i downloaded ubuntu 9.10 burned it to a new cd no problems came to install it on the puter got as far as 3of6 in the install sequence clicked next it jumped from 3of6 to 4of7 missing the partioner all together so cant partion the HD [06:28] skitzo: ok, where does it mount it [06:28] Tesssa: could be a bad ISO [06:28] Tesssa: or a bad CD burn [06:28] ubottu: i thought i did ask a question? [06:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:28] Tesssa, did you md5 the iso, burn very slowly, then do the disk integrity check? [06:28] Anyone have issues (and preferrably a solution) getting Wi-Fi set up and running on an HP Mini 1010nr running Netbook Remix? The steps on the wiki to correct wi-fi issues for the minis hasn't helped yet. [06:29] and what is md5 [06:29] ok, so whoever fired the script to the bot [06:29] !md5sum | Tesssa [06:29] Tesssa: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:29] Tesssa, download a live CD ISO with gparted and partition your hard drive first [06:29] skitzo, gnome-mount --write-settings --mount-options noauto --device /dev/sda2 [06:29] dunno about a mini or a netbook, but i just got wifi working on an hp laptop with a broacom 43xx chip [06:29] it mounts in /media/Windows 7 [06:29] skitzo, or add noauto to your /etc/fstab [06:29] mMezquitale: she/he should be able to do it with gparted on the Ubuntu CD no problem, as long as the CD works [06:30] Anybody willing to offer some help smply installing ubuntu 9.10 server on a Compaq PPro 200 PC w/256MB RAM? [06:30] Tesssa: it's a check to check to see if you have a good download the ISO or not [06:30] wow jeff thats a bit old [06:30] skitzo, /media/Windows 7 is just the mount point [06:30] !rules [06:30] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:30] so I should use an older ubuntu on this PC? [06:30] Tesssa: are you on Windows now? [06:31] never had to do a md5 with xubuntu [06:31] JeffOB: No, you can totally use the current release. [06:31] @switchcat: Yeah, I have the b43 drivers installed, and I can see the access points (open, unrestricted. I have one set up for testing, even), but when I try to connect it just fails. [06:31] yeah thats what asked wasn't it where is it mounted.. [06:31] skitzo: so write a line in your fstab that says "/dev/sda2 /media/Windows7 ntfs noauto 0 0" [06:31] i wanted to compare nxubuntu with ubuntu [06:32] Ok, well, I'm gettng odd results like no kernal getting installed [06:32] no i am on xubuntu [06:32] have you loaded wifi radar? [06:32] i wanted to compare nxubuntu with ubuntu [06:32] Tesssa: ok [06:32] Wifi radar? [06:32] Tesssa: you don't actsauly need to install Ubuntu then [06:32] JeffOB: 1) I'd recommend the !alternate CD for installing, 2) You could even use the low-memory installation option, but at 256 I don't think you need it. 3) Consider using LXDE for your GUI instead of Gnome - you can get it by installing a minimal system first, and then 'apt-get install lubuntu-desktop'. [06:32] Tesssa, you can simply install ubuntu-desktop [06:32] jeff - try to install server edition maybe? [06:32] Tesssa: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then select it from the log in screen [06:32] skitzo: i dont think fstab will use the space between Windows and 7 so youll have to rename the "/media/Windows 7" to /media/Windows7" [06:33] 'll try low-mem instal server then.. [06:33] wifi-radar looks like an old package? What's default on 9.10? [06:33] akoimexx, no [06:34] @cynicist ? first link I pulled was for dapper. [06:34] is there a channel to discuss ubuntu applications? [06:34] i know nothing about command line [06:34] Tesssa: ok [06:34] xubuntu worked ok [06:34] di||itante, Could he escape the space, eg: /media/Windows\ 7 ? [06:34] My bad, there's jaunty. [06:35] seeme__: Depends what you want to discuss about them. Support in here, development varies, random chatter, usage, and such in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:35] Google in it's infinite wisdom... never the updated stuff first. [06:35] dsnyders: I seem to remember that not working in fstab [06:35] Tesssa: you will have something graphical in xubuntu for installing programs as well, but the terminal is easy to use, if you find it in the menu you run the command in that [06:35] akoimeexx, do you have linux-backports-modules installed? [06:35] di||itante: use octals [06:35] how about if i installed ubuntu 9.4 then did the upgrade [06:35] thank you tony [06:36] Tesssa: maybe should be a bit more clear about what you would be telling it to do. Ubuntu is the base, then you can install other desktop environments as well, Gnome, KDE, and XFCE, and so on [06:36] Let me doublecheck [06:36] Tesssa: Which version are you currently on? [06:36] is there any way i can hack into the white house? [06:36] jp guys :P [06:36] i am using xubuntu 9.10 [06:36] !ot | snoopy [06:36] snoopy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[06:36] no problems with it [06:36] updated the hardware in my production box now when i try to load ubuntu it gives me a kernel panic error..:(???? [06:37] Tesssa: What did you mean install the upgrade then? [06:37] i just wantes to compare xubuntu with ubuntu [06:37] hello [06:37] Tesssa: yes and you can do that, without installing it as an operating system [06:37] i dont get you [06:37] Tesssa: you can install the Gnome desktop environment that Ubuntu uses into your Xubuntu install, and then select it from the log in screen [06:37] i did the upgrade from xubuntu 9.4 to 9.10 [06:38] can you help me out on how to install nagios [06:38] Tesssa: ok the upgrade is not relivant for what you want to do [06:38] None installed. Anyone in particular I should be using? Or just stick with apt-get install linux-backports-modules? [06:38] akoimeexx, no they should be uninstalled [06:38] They are [06:38] imani: have you read the page in the server guide yet? [06:38] akoimeexx, do two drivers show up in the restricted driver manager? b43 and STA? [06:39] imani: "sudo apt-get install nagios3" [06:39] STA is missing, doesn't even show up. [06:39] ok [06:39] Tesssa: How much space is Xubuntu taking up? Any idea how much RAM you have? [06:39] I was wondering about that. [06:39] imani: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/nagios.html will get you started. [06:39] it takes the whole HD up [06:39] Tesssa: ok [06:39] ok [06:39] thank you [06:39] 4gb [06:39] Tesssa: ok [06:40] I have the latest ALSA drivers, however, when I click on the sound preferences, no hardware comes up. Anyone have any ideas why I have no sound? [06:40] Tesssa: this is the easy way for you to try Ubuntu/Gnome run the command in your terminal and install it [06:40] akoimeexx, do you have bcmwl-kernel-source installed? [06:40] mini [06:40] check the settings for sound if correctly set [06:40] Tesssa: then as I already put select it from the log in screen. [06:40] Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs? [06:40] #what do i actually type in the command [06:40] Yes [06:41] What settings am I looking around for? [06:41] Tesssa: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:41] As well as bcmwl-modaliases [06:42] ok will try that and thank you sebsebseb [06:42] I had a similar problem but imaged to fix it, now i can hear music properly [06:42] Tesssa: you can also try Kubuntu/KDE after this if you want to [06:42] i dont like KDE [06:42] What was your solution, imani? [06:42] but thanks :) [06:43] akoimeexx, uninstall bcmwl-modaliases and reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source, then reboot and you should be good [06:43] Tesssa: oh right how come? there's also LXDE/Lubuntu which is light waight like Xubuntu/XFCE [06:43] go to sound icon [06:43] Alright, I'll give it a shot. [06:43] i dont like the kde interface [06:43] Thanks cynicist. [06:43] personal choice i suppose [06:43] Tesssa: yeah [06:43] akoimeexx, glad I could help :D [06:43] right click and select sound preference [06:44] got to go and thanks for the help [06:44] Tesssa: ok np [06:44] go to output button [06:44] Tesssa: why did yo ustart on Xubuntu? [06:44] how to enable hdmi in video card output [06:44] i prefered xubuntu interface [06:44] I'm trying to update from jaunty to karmic. During the upgrade the sources are changed to use the main server instead of my favorite mirror. Is there a way to force it to use that mirror? [06:45] Tesssa: ok [06:45] Tesssa: well enjoy Ubuntu/Gnome :) [06:45] will let you know if it works or not :) [06:45] then connector, select Analog output (LFE) /No Amplifier [06:45] Then try to play an audio file [06:46] update me if it works [06:46] Ah, well luckily for you, you have sound device options there. All that is there for me is "Dummy Output" with "Stereo" as its sub-text. [06:49] Huzzah! Connection established on the HP Mini! Thanks again cynicist! [06:50] akoimeexx, awesome, good to hear :) [06:50] I'll see about adding that into the wiki. [06:50] akoimeexx, mind linking me? I'd like to see it === kb is now known as Guest37345 [06:53] can ubuntu get a virus or trojan or something? [06:53] !virus | snoopy [06:53] snoopy: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [06:54] If you run a virus in wine, maybe. [06:54] snoopy, possibly a rootkit, but not a virus / trojan [06:54] snoopy, any OS can, but you are not likely to run into one with Ubuntu [06:54] will it mess up my computer? [06:55] snoopy, you can download a livecd to test it out before installing. It will be slower because its limited to the speed of the cd drive but it won't touch your hard drive at all [06:55] cynicist: Sure can, as soon as wiki.ubuntu.com loads faster. [06:55] akoimeexx, lol thanks [06:55] snoopy: Wine virus some will work properly in there not many, some will partly run in Wine, and they won't infect Ubuntu [06:56] woo, okay good. Thanks man [06:56] Can someone help me on how to install internet explorer 6 0r 7 [06:56] I been hearing a lot about them and i was just wondering if they mess up my computer and what not [06:56] imani: why do you want to do that? [06:56] helo, I will like to know if there is a way I can install codecs for avi files on ubuntu? [06:56] snoopy: hearing a lot about them for Windows or? [06:56] install internet explorer? are you crazy? [06:57] vdp_ubuntu, ubuntu-restricted-extras package [06:57] vdp_ubuntu: if you open up the AVI, it should ask you to install a codec, or do what bazhang suggested with sudo apt-get [06:57] vdp_ubuntu, usually if you play it with totem it will point out which packages to download [06:57] we have our system that works best in internet explorer than mozilla [06:57] for ubuntu [06:57] vdp_ubuntu: and no package at the end of it [06:57] Didn't wine makes the entire disk available by default? In that case a virus may alter some files. [06:57] imani: what kind of system? [06:57] But you can change that behavior. [06:58] sebsebseb: but I don't have internet on all the machines so I need to know which package I must download [06:58] imani: also Internet Explorer only stuff is bad! there are ways to have it with Ubuntu though [06:58] imani, you will want to install wine and then run the ie installer with it [06:58] J11: only the home directory as long as you're not root [06:58] vdp_ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will give you AVI, Flash, Java, etc [06:58] I'm having an LIRC problem. The deamon won't start via /etc/init.d/lirc but but I can run the commands manually and it runs fine. I can't seem to figure this out. Anyone care to poke at this a bit? [06:59] Our local computerized Human resource management system [06:59] sebsebseb: and can I have a single deb package which contains all the codecs? so that if there is no internet I can do the installation off-line [06:59] imani: which is currently run on Windows? [06:59] any of you know python? [06:59] yes [06:59] was it easy to learn? [06:59] vdp_ubuntu: don't think so, bazhang any ideas?

It's a bit conveniance vs security. [07:00] well it is kind of a ubuntu related question, aint it? [07:00] imani: that means it's not following web standards I expect [07:00] snoopy, no.

[07:03] lstarnes, Thanks for the pointer. I'll check it out and see if I can download/install the tool. [07:03] dsnyders: it's likely available for ubuntu [07:03] dsnyders: then again, I might be imagining things and that log viewer might not even exist [07:04] imani: you want to use the app on your own computer or? [07:04] Of course [07:04] imani: Which currently is Ubuntu only or? Do you have another with Windows? [07:04] lstarnes, imaginary or not, it's the best tip I've gotten. If I figure it out in the next few minutes, I'll report back. [07:04] yes [07:04] imani: yes to what? [07:05] I have installed ubuntu only [07:05] is there yet a Google Voice and Video Chat solution for Ubuntu? [07:05] imani: ok, but do you have a computer with Windows as well or not? [07:05] hi [07:06] off course i have, but i prefer Ubuntu to Windows OS [07:06] i was wondering if you can change partition size on a computer with ubuntu and windows vista installed? [07:06] imani: ok well maybe a virtual machine of Windows inside Ubuntu. ,but first try ie4linux a Google should bring that up [07:06] nameo0: yes you can [07:06] nameo0, yes [07:06] can someone please tell me how? [07:07] you have both installed now? [07:07] nameo0: you ask a question [07:07] yes [07:07] nameo0: put the ubuntu live cd and use gparted [07:07] let me try to install ie4linus [07:07] can anyone tell me the command to reverse command line argurements??? [07:07] aman: do you know if that command even exists? [07:07] nameo0: ok you did nevermind [07:07] dsnyders: actually, from what I've just checked, it doesn't appear to exist [07:08] nameo0: you should only let Vista re size itself, or data loss might happen, the Ubuntu partition can be re sized with gparted on the Live CD [07:08] nameo0, boot into windows first, defrag the C drive, and make sure you do a disk cleanup... then go back to Linux and run gparted to change drive sizes... [07:08] lstarnes, actually i want to reverse them using script....:0 [07:08] aman: I don't know if there is a command for that in bash scripting [07:08] lstarnes, i know i print CLI arguements using '$*' but i want to reverse them [07:08] k thy [07:08] aman: someone in #bash might know [07:09] sebsebseb, what do you mean by letting vista resize itself?

Photoshop, Office, CorelDraw? [07:10] akoimeexx, ah thanks, had no idea that wiki existed [07:10] opopen office and photoshop [07:10] sebsebseb, I have windows 7, and I've never seen that tool...

Glad to be able to put that info up for others as well -- It might even fix the issue 1033cl users have. [07:11] At least, it'd be worth their testing. [07:11] nameo0, windows vista needs about 30GB of space but I usually pad my Windows drive to about 2.5-3x the size I'm using when I install Linux. [07:11] (Doublechecked, multiple reboots and the wifi still works.) [07:11] k thy [07:12] so if I have used 40GB on Windows already when installing linux, I give Windows about 80-120GB total, and the rest to Linux. [07:12] so defrag -> live cd -> gparted? [07:12] nameo0: let Vista resize itself [07:12] nameo0: or you might get data loss [07:13] nameo0: also you don't really need to run a defrag, just let Vista re size it self :) disk defrag can be good once a month if using Windows a lot though [07:13] sebsebseb, calling Windows 7 "Vista version 2", is like calling Ubuntu "Debian version 2"... for one, it's completely inaccurate to say, and second it would just get you laughed at by anyone who knows how to use windows. [07:14] nameo0: your on Vista now? [07:14] now ubuntu [07:14] phoenixzorn: well it's known as NT 6.1 with VIsta known as 6.0 which confirms it :) also it's a little joke the Vista version 2 thing [07:14] but swithcing now [07:14] brb [07:14] phoenixzorn, people say that because windows 7 is very similar to vista [07:15] some feedback, maybe pop #ubuntu-offtopic into the channel Topic [07:15] cynicist: exactly [07:15] phoenixzorn, probably due to the fact that the most notable changes are ui or window manager changes, makes it feel like a service pack rather than a new OS [07:15] except it's not really... the only similarity is the look... the function, the flow, the feel, everything is improved... vista SUCKS... Windows 7 is actually a good OS. [07:16] there are a few channels that appear with the /list command that users do not know its there [07:16] phoenixzorn: I expect they are both rather similar under the hood [07:16] just a thought [07:16] not so much... [07:16] Enter text here...does anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu? [07:16] rich7: of course, but why do you want to? [07:17] phoenixzorn, no they are very similar under the hood. Vista was terrible mostly because of buggy drivers and a few bugs that windows fixed for 7 [07:17] sebsebseb, under the hood, they still both use the NT kernel, but the Vista OS was supremely subpar to XP Pro, and Windows 7 is a VAST improvement over both. [07:17] still usedto windows ans can't run ubuntu [07:18] i ddon't know wat i 'm doing [07:18] phoenixzorn: I don't really care that much to be honest :) Microsoft lock people in, and hold computing back, but this is all off topic now [07:18] rich7, put in your Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 Enterprise CD, and install... Ubuntu will be gone. [07:19] rich4: oh I see [07:19] sebsebseb, true... I didn't come here to debate which Windows version is the best... [07:19] phoenixzorn: same here [07:19] rich4: ok what do you want to do on Ubuntu? [07:19] I came here to ask if there's a solution to Gmail not providing voice and video for linux... [07:19] because if they haven't, I can't install Ubuntu on my netbook... [07:19] hi .. i would like to remote desktop into a windows xp machine from ubuntu ... how can i do that? i tried the remote desktop viewer and that doesnt appear to work .. [07:20] Enter text here...that's just it I dn't know how to run any of the programs and it nothing like windows [07:20] phowardcom: hmm Google Talk in a Windows virtual machine? Windows can be useful to have inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine, sometimes [07:21] ubotu [07:21] ghufran, need to enable remote desktop viewing on the XP machine through services, then both computers either have to be on the same network, OR if on different private networks, the ports must be forwarded correctly to the XP box, or DMZ mode must be enabled for the XP machine to connect. [07:21] how can windows be useful in ubuntu [07:21] rich4: ok the basics are quite easy really, there are guides and people here and that that will help with that [07:21] ubottu [07:21] sebsebseb, stop spelling my name wrong. =P [07:21] phoenixzorn: no it's a messed up auto complete [07:21] I know. lol [07:21] phoenixzorn: i can connect to that machine with another xp machine .. just not with ubuntu .. [07:22] try phoe and it won't mess up... [07:22] rich4: so you can run many Windows programs, that you can't get working in Wine, and that you can't find alternatives to that you like enough [07:22] rich4: there are good programs for nearly every computer task you can think of though, when it comes to Ubuntu [07:22] ghufran, that's kinda silly... are they on the same network? [07:23] i guess its not the same though [07:23] rich4: What do you want to ecomplish on a computer? What do you want to do? Let's find out if Ubuntu can fit your needs. [07:23] yes .. both laptops are on the same network [07:23] rich4: there are a few differences here and there, but nothing major, when it comes to the basics [07:23] ok [07:23] ? [07:24] like terminal [07:24] i did "apt-get install git" but i don't see git in my path. what do i do? [07:24] nothing like dos [07:24] i'm on hardy [07:24] rich4: well yes, but you don't need to use that for the basics [07:24] rich4, what do you do in windows on a daily basis? [07:24] rich4: however for installing programs it's great using the terminal, much quicker than the graphical ways [07:25] i can't think right off the bat [07:25] anyone? [07:25] zackattack: The package is git-core [07:25] ah, thanks [07:25] i knew where everything was [07:25] rich4, things like e-mail, web browsing, image editing??? [07:25] i can do that stuff [07:25] rich4, the most important thing, do you use Windows for work? [07:25] oh wait [07:26] in stalling programs [07:26] hi. hey I received something on facebook telling me to visit GALEWHER .COM . Apparently it's a virus, DO NOT VISIT THAT SITE. Does anyone know how it works, and, am I infected? [07:26] phoenixzorn: KDE 4 is more Windows looking, but I am not sure about recommending that much to new users. [07:26] lol... Gnome is so much prettier and sleek. [07:26] quitenormal: probably some trick for Windows users [07:26] phoenixzorn: yeah indeed, Gnome is rather easy to use [07:26] but I agree, KDE is much more windows like... [07:27] rich4, perhaps try installing Kubuntu? but the big question still has to be answered... do you use your Windows computer for work? [07:27] i hate this bloody windows partition showing up on ubuntu.. gggrrr ;| [07:27] sebsebseb probably but I can't find any info on google about it, save for: IT's A VIRUS! So how can I be sure? [07:27] skitzo, it's supposed to do that. [07:27] no play [07:27] !virus | quitenormal [07:27] gaming? [07:27] quitenormal: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [07:28] rich4: you can dual boot :) [07:28] rich4, games? [07:28] rich4: Windows and Ubuntu [07:28] oh my girl friend doesn't lie it either [07:28] sebsebseb yeah I know linux is different to windows [07:28] sigh... how old are you and your girlfriend? [07:28] oh my girl friend doesn't like it either [07:28] rich4: Who put Ubuntu on there and why? [07:28] rich4 ^^^^ [07:28] i know but i got rid of it before with the help of somebody in here then i went and installed ubuntu again the x64 version and i cant remember the persons name that helped me get rid of it :( [07:29] skitzo, why would you not want to be able to see it? [07:29] bought it this way [07:29] rich4: oh [07:29] rich4, bought the laptop with Ubuntu? what brand? [07:29] rich4: ok I understand [07:29] desktop [07:29] rich4: so you didn't know you would get another OS with it instead of Windows? [07:29] why would i? its the windows filesystem for windows if im in windows i just want the linux filesystem and my two media partitions [07:29] rich4, Dell? [07:30] i knew it on here but i have xp [07:30] plus when i mount the media drives u get access to the windows one [07:30] built comp [07:30] rich4: I have helped two not so technical people quite a bit with Ubuntu, both of them get on with it quite well, the first loves how she does not have to do loads of virus scan and that rubbish [07:30] skitzo, because ubuntu can handle NTFS now, so there's no reason to hide it... if you need a document from windows, or something like that, you can just grab it... and not reboot to find something. [07:30] ok [07:31] rich4: you have an XP CD? [07:31] ya [07:31] rich4: you can set up a dual boot :) [07:31] how [07:31] rich4: Ubuntu is a good OS, for a lot of stuff, there is just a bit of a learning curve first as a new user of course [07:31] grub [07:31] rich4, I had a friend with Vista... she was tired of malware, spyware, and "virus scanners" that were viruses themselves popping up in Windows... I installed Ubuntu, and haven't heard a complaint in 2 months... lol [07:32] cool [07:32] yeah but all that stuffs in the two media partitions.. all thats in the windows filesystem is windows os/programs [07:32] rich4: you can do nearly anything you can do in WIndows in Ubuntu [07:32] Just joined, rich4 you can also use Virtual Box to run Windows XP [07:32] See, now, I respect people's opinions as far as OS's go, but at a certain point, viruses and spyware and malware moves from the fault of the OS to the fault of the user.. [07:32] rich4: Consider virtual machine as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=136012&d=1258101150 [07:32] rich4, give it a little time, Ubuntu is my favorite OS, and the only reason I don't have it on all my computers is that I need windows for work, and don't want to dual boot or run a virtual machine. [07:32] ksadler97: well he wants to run games, which games I don't know [07:32] I had Vista for almost a year before upgrading to 7 and never had a problem. [07:33] !ot [07:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:33] i have done that virture [07:33] bazhang: hmm that's a point [07:33] so i got windows and linux seperate sharing the two mass storage partitions [07:33] rich4: ok we are trying to find out if Ubuntu is for you, but really it's off topic, come join #ubuntu-offtopic and we can continue [07:33] evan__, I had fixed it on more than one occasion, and it got to the point where I couldn't fix it again, so it was either a fresh install of Vista (never), Windows 7 (could have been) or Ubuntu... [07:33] she picked Linux. [07:34] I run Ultimate Ubuntu and Virtual Windows XP, Windows 7, and Vista until people open up to Linux more [07:34] lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:34] rich4: /join #ubuntu-offtopic type that in, if your not sure how to join [07:35] sebsebseb, back to the google issue.... it's a netbook, there's no way I'm running a virtual box or VMWare session on it... [07:35] phoenixzorn: come join :) and andrew_46 and anyone else that was part of it [07:36] what's wrong with my system? everytime i do any large IO process, my whole computer lags to a complete halt.. when i run mkisofs all my other terminals fades out.. [07:36] phoenixzorn, i installed vnc and it takes me to the login screen of the xp box .. but when i enter the password it says: Connection to host was closed [07:36] did you give the linux box permission to connect? [07:36] anyone in here have experience installing and running 9.04 or 9.10 using a radeon 9200 vid card? [07:37] same problem when i'm burning a cd [07:37] क्या कोई हिंदी में बात करता है यहाँ? [07:37] Smiter, I have always defaulted to Envy and now Envy-NG to work with video cards [07:37] wuttt. tibetan? [07:38] whats the diff between envy and envy-ng? [07:38] but envy wont help when i get a black screen on install [07:38] Envy worked until 8.04, I believe. Envy-NG is the lastest encarnation [07:39] unless there is a way to use envy in the bootup [07:39] मेरे ubuntu लैपटॉप में ntlm authentication कैसे चल सकता है? [07:39] I'm still looking for a viable solution to having an Ubuntu Netbook with Google Voice and Video Chat... [07:39] anyone with something for me?

[07:45] hello [07:45] ok thanks i will give that and wiki a shoot [07:45] can i just slap KDE on an Ubuntu install [07:46] Polysics, yes, since KDE is just a desktop manager. Try going to Synaptic and just adding it. [07:46] ksadler97, will it pop up in GDM as a choice? [07:46] Polysics, kubuntu-desktop package [07:46] is it eventually removable without problems? [07:47] ksadler97: kde isn't a desktopmanager [07:47] Polysics, /msg ubottu puregnome [07:47] cool, thanks :-) [07:47] yw :) [07:47] ok, how about a graphical interface [07:47] hey guys i'll give up on this windows 7 thing lol one last thing if i have a downloaded java program with everything in folder wheres the best place in the filesystem to copy it? and also how do i get permission to do so? thanks in advance [07:47] ksadler97: its a desktop-environment [07:47] lstarnes, I may have found something to read windows event logs.

[08:36] lstarnes: excellent, well i'm running the install once again [08:36] soureau: what command must i do for paste on pastebin.com [08:37] noob_, just copy and paste [08:37] nvm [08:37] some one there [08:37] lstarnes i'm using the ubuntu alternate cd for the ps3 [08:37] Whats the new way to do "/etc/init.d/someservice stop" in ubunto 9.10 [08:37] to help in installing yahoo messenger [08:37] this nephlin : http://pastebin.com/m1eb36a40 [08:38] and soreau : http://pastebin.com/m1eb36a40 [08:38] lstarnes: I noticed on one of the screens when I am making the profile that it states that it will create user profiles instead of a root profile [08:38] mr_e_panda: is there any other version of ubuntu known to work on ps3? [08:38] noob_, ok. one moment [08:38] noob_: 1) Start a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) 2) Type 'compiz &' without tick marks 3) Press enter 4) Go to pastebin.com in your browser and copy the output from your terminal 5) Click submit, then show us the link it gives back here [08:38] lstarnes: there's a desktop cd [08:38] soreau, he's missing xgl [08:39] lstarnes: but i was having even more problems with it [08:39] oke [08:39] nephlim: Xgl is not required to run compiz, except for a few specific setups. The message "checking for Xgl: not present" is simply an informational message, not an error. [08:39] * nephlim learned something [08:39] lstarnes: it never gave me an option to create a root account [08:39] noob_: Your drivers are messed up. Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:39] When did ubunto get the "service" command? [08:40] mr_e_panda: does it give you an option to set up sudo or add a root password?

"/etc/init.d/iptables stop" doesn't either. How do we stop iptables or restart it or what ever? [08:41] c_nick: you need to use a newer version of ubuntu, or compile glib2.21.3 from source [08:41] c_nick: using a newer version of ubuntu is a safer option [08:41] why do my startup apps not get saved? [08:42] crc32: iptables can't be stopped or reset. It is a kernel feature, not a service [08:42] i add them, but they do not get started nor are in the list when i log back in [08:42] you can flush iptables, but you need to save rules first [08:42] crc32: there are methods to change the rules in iptables or clear them though, but I forget how [08:42] What's the command to install Pulse Audio? [08:42] iptables -F removes all rules [08:42] lstarnes since when? I've always been able to create new rules then restart iptables. [08:42] hmm [08:42] you don't "restart" iptables [08:42] omen [08:42] crc32: I mean that it can't be restarted in the same way as regular services [08:42] yea its usually edit /etc/iptables.sav then service iptables restart [08:43] on ubuntu?

[08:43] i am no iptables expert, but usually i do it all from the command line [08:44] hi, how can i scan the other computers (192.168.1.*) connected on my local network? [08:44] ubuntu is being a douchebag [08:44] too many changes too fast.

[08:45] lstarnes: any input? [08:45] no idea, i just flew from KDE [08:45] So whats the upstarty way to restart sshd then? [08:45] too much glass for my tastes [08:45] Polysics: :D [08:46] isn't there a command just to know the other ip's of the computers that are connected? [08:46] I have 9.04 Server, I manually configured DHCP on two interfaces. One is plugged to network, the other not. I get this message (reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smbd only) every 5 minutes or so. Is there any way to stop smbd from reloading every time dhcp tries to get IP? [08:46] arp -an [08:47] fabio: thanks :) [08:47] why is dhcp client releasing the IP ? [08:47] how can i gie my aptitude Super Cow powers? i feel defraudated [08:47] *give [08:47] that is a sane approach instead of disable DHCP verbosity [08:47] fabio: is this directed to me? [08:48] i bet all of your aptitudes have Super Cow powers! [08:48] :-) [08:48] noob_: I am going to step away for a moment.

Where do I put iptable rules so that the are executed at the next bootup. :| [08:48] bye [08:48] Any ideas/other channels I should check out for support [08:49] i just upgraded to 9.10 and the sound no longer works [08:49] hi === papul__ is now known as papul [08:50] hi any there by mistake i had run the apt-get autoremove [08:50] argh! i have no /dev/dsp anymore! [08:50] in that packages are removed [08:50] can any one help [08:50] for real I have iptables rules I'd really like to execute on each boot up. [08:50] If you find a solution, Dday, let me know, because I've been looking for two days now for a solution. [08:50] This is so annoying. [08:51] Where can I find the default app menu [08:51] crc32: /etc/rc.local? [08:51] For what app's should pop up when I open/click on stuff [08:51] okay Inzuka, was the sound previously working for you? [08:51] Hi, im trying to build a deb package using cdbs, & I need to patch the configure.ac [08:51] any one there [08:51] who can help me the issue [08:51] whats the easiest or best way to back up my ubuntu before i try tweeking it so if i make a mistake i can revert back to the working rendition? [08:51] that will get clobered if I ever decide to upgrade packages. [08:52] crc32: will it? [08:52] anyone here use posfix? [08:52] Well, previously I was on Windows Vista. I installed Karmic two days ago, and it never worked upon installation, Dday. [08:52] the _UPDATE_ACLOCAL scripts seem not to be [08:52] crc32: if it does, it's a bug. [08:52] cast: /etc/rc.local is never edited automatically by scripts [08:52] cast: Yes I used to do crap like that all the time. Your no really supposed to tamper with init scripts directly. Usually a distro gives you some kind of ability to store iptable rules [08:53] lstarnes: n e more input by any chance? [08:54] mr_e_panda: no, sorry [08:54] lstarnes: Whats the real way to configure iptables rules? [08:54] crc32: if you're sure, file a bug report [08:54] mr_e_panda: I have absolutely zero experience with the ps3 [08:54] I have 8.04 right now... Is it worth upgrading to 8.10? [08:54] hmm tons of questions here.. i am about to try to install the more advanced video drivers for my radeon crd, what envy package do i instal [08:54] lstarnes: that's ok, thanks for ur help though i appreciate the effort [08:54] cast: Whats the correct way to set iptables? [08:54] hamachi: wait for 10.04 [08:55] rgr [08:55] thx [08:55] create init.d script and correct symlink [08:55] crc32: I recall adding some scripts to the directories under /etc/network/ to do save iptables rules when interfaces go down and reload them when they go up [08:55] any one here familiar with Ubuntu on a PS3? [08:55] crc32: I think ufw might save rules [08:55] thre seems to be a correct way for everything else in ubuntu 9.10 [08:55] 10.4 is a pretty big jump.. especially with the changes in compatibility, make sure you ahve a newer machine and hardware [08:55] mr_e_panda: i am familiar with Ubuntu and the PS3, but have not installed Linux on my console. [08:55] 9.10 has been a pain lol [08:56] What is /etc/networks/ip-up.d for? === xisco is now known as x1sc0 [08:56] mneptok: darn... my questions have to do with not being able to use the sudo command because the alternate cd does not set up a root user [08:56] ahh [08:56] I have an old Dell laptop from 2004 [08:56] crc32: to run scripts when ifaces come up [08:56] maybe 10.04 not so good? [08:57] mr_e_panda: yes it does [08:57] crc@ballsack:/etc/network$ cat ip-up.d [08:57] #!/bin/sh [08:57] iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.sav [08:57] mr_e_panda: what happens when you run sudo? [08:57] Doesn't seem to be working [08:57] metptok: hmmmm.... i did not see that screen. [08:57] crc32: if-up.d is a directory, not a file [08:57] mr_e_panda: A root user doesn't exist at all? [08:57] mr_e_panda: uhhh .... what screen? [08:57] really its a file on my system for some reason [08:57] the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 i have heard isnt bad.. but from 8.10-9.04 had problems, and i have read 9.04-9.10 is even worse.. graphic cards seem to be the worst [08:58] crc32: usning network-manager? not sure if it uses those dirs [08:58] mneptok: when i type sudo it asks me for my password then tells me that my username is not part of the sudoer file [08:58] can I upgrade without making a disc? [08:58] maybe through upgrade manager? [08:58] mr_e_panda: type 'groups', are you in the admin group? [08:58] update manager* [08:58] if-up.d is the direcory your thinking of. I'm not sure what ip-up.d is supposed to be. [08:58] hamachi: Yes, that's the preferred method of upgrading [08:58] Flannel: no user name exists at all [08:58] !upgrade | Hiall [08:58] Hiall: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:58] mr_e_panda: Ubuntu adds the user created during the install process to the admin group. use that account. [08:58] gibt es eventuell 'nen trick wie ich ein terminal programm dazu bringe immer als root zu starten? [08:58] flannel: how do I go about this? [08:59] mneptok: I am using that account [08:59] Hiall: sorry, hamachi, see the factoid ubottu just mentioned regarding UpgradeNotes [08:59] sry. wron language channel :) [08:59] hamachi: yeah upgrade to 8.10 then to 9.04 and to 9.10 :) or burn a cd and direct install 9.10 [08:59] crc32: I have if-pre-up.d containing a script to restore iptables, and if-post-down.d containing a script to save the rules [08:59] hamachi: just wait for 10.04 [08:59] does anyone here use iptables? [08:59] flannel: i'm reinstalling the system right now so i can't run it at the moment [08:59] crc32: I do [08:59] hamachi: it will be an easier upgrade for you. [08:59] crc32, our firewall do :) [08:59] mneptok how will it be easier? [08:59] I swear I added the ip rules loader. [08:59] Let me try again [09:00] mr_e_panda: Alright, you might have a bad disc that you're trying to install from. User stuff gets set up at the end, so a problem would leave you with user issues, but otherwise working system. Be sure to verify the disc (from the boot menu) [09:00] smiter: you will be able to upgrade directly from 8.04 to 10.04. === Patrik is now known as Guest27909 [09:00] Chat test [09:00] lemme try mutt [09:00] smiter: otherwise, you have to 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04 > 9.10 [09:00] than again, if I dont like 8.10, I dont want to reverse this sheeet [09:00] flannel: ok [09:01] and 8.04 has LTS.. [09:01] hamachi: i suggest stick with 804 and wait till 10.04 [09:01] you mean mneptok, you mean all the bugs from upgrading from 8.04-9.10 will have been worked out? [09:01] ya I think I'm gonna do that [09:01] I wish I could get wireless working on this thing though [09:01] lets see if it took. [09:01] rebooting again. [09:01] smiter: i mean that you can upgrade from LTS to LTS without the intermediate releases [09:01] i get this [09:01] ft2build.h: No such file or directory [09:01] how do i install freetype? [09:01] !info freetype [09:02] Package freetype does not exist in karmic [09:02] I think when I moved the script over the first time i accidently cp bah /etc/network/ip-up.d instead of /etc/network/if-up.d [09:02] Boon: libfreetype6-dev [09:02] cool I feel safer already. The rules loaded. [09:03] Boon: you should lear to use apt-file too [09:03] learn* [09:03] flannel: when I am in the "set up users and passwords" screen it says this "A user account will be created for you to use instead of the root account for non administrative activities. Please enter the real name of this user. Tis information will be used for instace as default origin for emails sent by this user as well as any program which displays or uses the user's real name." [09:03] Weird. [09:03] hi. some time ago i made a backup of my entire hard disk. the backup is just a raw file, no formatting or anything. i need to restore it now, but i forgot which program i used to create it. the entire file system is inside the backup file, i just need to write it to disk. does anyone know which program i might use? [09:03] mr_e_panda: Ubuntu does not use a root user [09:04] mr_e_panda: Ubuntu uses sudo [09:04] Guest27909: sudo fdisk -l your-image.foo [09:04] mneptok: yes i understand that. but when i use sudo it does not allow me to use sudo [09:05] mr_e_panda: note carefully the user you create during the install process [09:05] hi guys i've downloaded an application for linux (java based) i have it working i just want to know how and where to place the folder in the file system as i cant get access [09:05] mneptok: right [09:06] mr_e_panda: wait what? No root user in ubunto? === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [09:06] mneptok: without that information i would not even be able to log in to my desktop [09:06] everything works fine on my laptop [09:06] lol [09:06] is there a log file somewhere with a list of connections made over ssh? [09:06] No. [09:07] kameron: look in /var/log/auth.log [09:07] oh [09:07] Sorry, wrongread. [09:08] mneptok: finishing up the installation right now [09:08] anybody? [09:09] many body here [09:09] :D [09:09] morning all [09:10] lol and i thought my question was basic as this time round [09:10] lstarnes, it's all recent, only goes back to the 20th. looking for something from a couple weeks ago. [09:10] skitzo, well open a console and sudo chown you app [09:10] kameron: check each of the copies from /var/log/auth.log.* [09:10] kameron: some are compressed with gzip, but can be read with zcat instead of cat [09:11] skitzo, enter your login password on promt (if you have administative rights, or if not the password of a user that does) [09:12] my applications in a folder [09:12] lstarnes, awesome! found what i was looking for. thanks buddy! [09:12] skitzo, if that is not a option anything under ~/ (that is /home/'you') is yours. [09:12] i just want to put the folder in the right place in the filesystem [09:13] skitzo, well java programs are pretty much self contained. [09:13] Younder: it only might be /home/'you' ;P === abcxlc is now known as Raganroek [09:14] skitzo, how about /usr/local/bin === Raganroek is now known as RagnaRoek [09:14] yeah i know it is i have the working program in a folder on my desktop i just wanna put it in a correct place in filesystem like windows but i cant get access in linux i have to use all this code :) [09:15] whats wrong with a little code? [09:15] skitzo: whats in the folder? [09:15] mneptok: i just got my sudo to work [09:15] i was wondering if there was an easy way to get my s-video out working on my laptop [09:15] a java program.. its working fine all i want is it in the filesystem off the deskto :) [09:15] sweet i guess all it needed really was just a reinstall [09:15] i got an nvidia card, i tried nvtv but it doesnt recognize my card [09:16] hahaha [09:16] skitzo: that doesn't really answer the question [09:16] thank u all who helped me [09:16] u guys are awesome [09:16] mr_e_panda: yes, yes i am. [09:16] its called jdownloader [09:17] * mneptok is also great on a cracker, or served warm with a side of pure, raw fury. [09:17] theres an exe file jar file etc etc === RagnaRoek is now known as ASDGF [09:17] and you guys are so humble u really should take more credit for what you do here for everyone [09:17] skitzo: is this some kind of download manager? [09:17] LMAO [09:17] but seriously thank you [09:18] mr_e_panda: np. [09:18] mmm raw fury.. [09:18] ubuntu is not good for plasma tvs [09:18] lstarnes, i'm out of town trying to connect to my computer at home. i have openssh running on the box, i have the ip and it responds to a ping, but connection refused when i try to connect. [09:19] it is.. its made specifically for like rapidshare, hotfile etc.. [09:19] the colors are so hot they burn in quickly. gotta run the screen protection every few minutes to counter act the burn in [09:19] kameron: got a router? [09:19] kameron: ports closed, you're stuffed [09:19] no router mneptok [09:19] skitzo: i'd use gwget +Flashgot, personally [09:19] mr_e_panda, you can change that.. use a darker theme [09:19] kameron: does the ISP block common low ports? [09:20] kameron: make sure that port 22 is properly forwarded [09:20] I'm practically dancing in excitement. :D I finally got my sound to work on Karmic. [09:20] will do [09:20] so how do i place the folder and all of its contents in /usr/bin/ from terminal? [09:20] Younder: will do [09:20] mneptok, i don't think so. [09:20] PoppingFlamingo: easier to dance when there's music, eh? [09:20] kameron: what ISP? [09:20] skitzo: cp -a foldername /usr/bin [09:20] shawcable in canada, mneptok [09:20] skitzo: you shouldn't. place it in /opt, make a short starter in /usr/local/bin [09:21] PoppingFlamingo: what sound device are you useing? [09:21] indus: argh, horrible advice [09:21] Uhm, it's an Intel one, I don't know the exact one. [09:21] cast: why [09:21] And I agree, Mneptok. :P [09:21] PoppingFlamingo: intergrated? [09:21] indus: why should one copy a folder into /usr/local/bin? [09:21] hi...I installed open office 3.1.1 on 9.04...every time I open it , it recursively enters into doc recovery mode...what shud I do? [09:21] It's a laptop, if that's what you're asking, Randall. [09:22] indus: programs under the control of package management should be the only thing going into /usr/bin, [09:22] llutz: ya thats true indeed , but i thought he is just looking for syntax [09:22] but his system isnt going to explode on doing that either [09:22] PoppingFlamingo: im collecting info on intergrated sound cards, and thier problems with Ubuntu 9.04 and above, thats all [09:22] kameron: try using ssh with -vvvv [09:23] cast: programs other than package management also go int o /usr/bin btw, 3rd party programs for ex [09:23] very very very very verbose? mneptok [09:23] but i dont want to argue wity tou [09:23] kameron: quite so [09:23] Randall: I'm not very savvy with hardware. Windows and its features was more my specialty. Now I installed Linux and had no idea what I was in for. I could show you the article I used to fix my sound if you want. [09:24] i wish i could just browse through the file system normally it would save me asking questions here so often :) [09:24] skitzo: what exactly are you trying to do [09:24] PoppingFlamingo: thats would be nice, thanks. I notice that Ubuntu has issues with intergrated sound devices realtek in perticular [09:24] randall: "integrated" ;) [09:24] I can spell, okay not really :D [09:25] randall: not true, realtek works fine with ubuntu, or you could download drivers from their site, all of their stuff is open source [09:25] indus, i just want to put this program folder somewhere in the filesystem off the desktop :) [09:25] Randall: I'm not exactly sure what all those commands do, but http://pramonotunggul.com/2009/11/19/solving-no-sound-problem-in-ubuntu-karmic/ sure fixed it. :) [09:25] skitzo: ok but why in the filesystem [09:25] skitzo: you want to install it or just move the folder into / [09:25] but i cant just go through the file system normally i have to use this terminal to get through [09:25] move it [09:25] skitzo: then you'll have to create menu entries. [09:25] skitzo: then just move it into /opt [09:26] skitzo: and update everything manually [09:26] mneptok, it says ssh version, nothing really important, and connection refused [09:26] lluts: i entered that sudo fdisk thing and got a list of the partitions in the backup. what do i do now? [09:26] indus: personal experience i guess [09:26] skitzo: that folder is empty generally [09:26] skitzo: Ubuntu has download managers you can install from packages. why not use them? [09:26] randall: what kind of problem? did u file a bug? [09:26] indus: they should go in /usr/local/bin, possibly /opt [09:26] kameron: does it even try to connect? [09:26] PoppingFlamingo: thanks for the link. [09:26] it updates its self and i know how to add it to menu [09:26] skitzo: so sudo cp -a foldername /opt [09:26] mneptok, yes [09:26] hi. what software shall I use to be able to record a video with my webcam ? [09:26] kameron: and is your modem at home in bridged or routed mode? [09:27] sobersabre: xawtv works [09:27] mneptok, whatever the problem is it looks like something i can't really deal with unless i have physical access to it. [09:27] indus: thanks. [09:27] well i downloaded the driver, did not work, then rushed off to work forgetting to file a report [09:27] mneptok, i'm not sure the difference. i don't think it has an option. [09:27] sobersabre: and some others too i think, camorama camstream etc [09:27] i have a few accounts for rapidshare/hotfile etc and this program is the best for it [09:27] !camorama [09:27] can someone guide me thru how to load the drivers for my vid card?

[09:28] smiter, system > administration > hardware drivers. did you try that? [09:28] command not found [09:28] mneptok, alright. it's not too important anyways. thanks. [09:28] indus: do they all allow audio+video recording ? [09:29] kameron, it doesnt offer anything up [09:30] smiter, what video card do you have? [09:30] radeon 9200 (rv 280) [09:30] Is there a way to speed up downloaders such as BitTorrent on Ubuntu? I know how to do that on Windows, but not so much here. [09:30] can someone help me get my svideo tv out working? [09:30] PoppingFlamingo, what client do you use? [09:31] heres some info about the laptop http://paste.pocoo.org/show/158772/ [09:31] Kameron: Well what I want to speed up is the World of Warcraft downloader, which is essentially a BitTorrent downloader. [09:31] hi [09:31] hi, please 1 question, i got a big binary file, like 5 G, and i read that split can split files, so i wonder if it'll be ok to split it. I wonder if binary files can be split and gathered again with cat, or i'll have any problem [09:31] PoppingFlamingo, how would you speed that up in windows? [09:31] shellfis1: split will work fine [09:32] ok llutz and then to join them again with cat ? [09:32] shellfis1, give it a try. you can split it with the "dd" command. [09:32] shellfis1: yes [09:32] Kameron: By opening the ports that it uses, such as 6112, 3724, and 6881-6999. [09:33] ok , kameron is plit will do it it's alright anyway but thanks for the dd suggestion hehe:) [09:33] Kameron: Through the Windows Firewall, that is. (The Windows Firewall does this all by itself normally anyway.) [09:33] PoppingFlamingo: Have you tried just turning off bittorrent? [09:34] PoppingFlamingo, do you have a firewall in use on linux? like iptables? [09:34] since i've upgraded to kubuntu 9.10, my boot bar is all messed up on the startup (i'm talking about the one looking like this: http://www.net-actuality.org/images/news/31-07-07_9034.png) is it a known bug of ubuntu 9.10? [09:34] Geirha: What do you mean? [09:34] Kameron: I installed Firestarter via a guide, but it seems like it only works when I open it manually. Would iptables be a better option? [09:34] PoppingFlamingo: In the blizzard downloader, just turn off bittorrent, and just download from http instead. Should get you fairly good speed. [09:35] llutz: i did that sudo fdisk thing on my backup file and it gave me a list of the partitions in the backup file. how do i write them to the disk? [09:35] PoppingFlamingo, it's a manual option. if you're not using any firewall then the ports won't be blocked and you shouldn't need to open them. [09:35] Geirha: I don't think that it gives me that option, since it's being run through WINE. I don't see the usual File, Edit, etc. [09:35] Guest27909: if you want to restore the whole disk, use cat or dd [09:35] Kameron: So by default, if it's using those ports, they will be opened anyway? [09:36] hey guys how can i add module to be loaded on boot? [09:36] PoppingFlamingo, yes [09:36] Kickar: There should be an option to edit the Startup Programs in System>Preferences [09:36] kickar, modprobe [09:36] PoppingFlamingo: Last I used it (for updating wow), it was very slow. Turning off bittorrent downloading sped it up to full speed for me. I don't remember what the options were called. [09:36] Kameron: Alright, that's good to know. Thank you :) [09:36] llutz: so its just sudo dd ? [09:36] how do I list what graphics hardware I have ? [09:37] hipitihop_: sudo lshw -class display [09:37] any recomendations on how to install the drivers for my Radeon 9200 ati vid card? [09:37] Guest27909: sudo dd if=yourimage.foo of=/dev/sdX [09:37] Geirha: Maybe it's only from the launcher, after its installed. I'm using the WoWInstaller.exe to install the entire program. [09:37] Guest27909: or sudo cat image.foo /dev/sdX [09:38] Guest27909: or sudo cat image.foo >/dev/sdX [09:38] sry [09:38] PoppingFlamingo: Could be. There was a menu option called Connection Info at the top if I remember correctly. [09:38] does anyone use farsight2 here? [09:39] Geirha: Yeah, I know what options you're talking about, I've gone through them before on Windows. If only they were there for me right now. :( [09:39] geirha, thanks .. on one machine that gives me wha tI want but on another I get "ION VGA" "Nvidia" but not the model [09:39] hipitihop_: Did you run it with sudo? [09:40] yes [09:40] geirha, yes [09:40] smiter, did you get that figured out? [09:40] am i blind or are there no XEN- [09:41] kameron no not yet [09:41] am i blind or are there no XEN-Kernels for ubuntu in the repos [09:41] Now I just need to figure out what the deal is with FarmVille, and my new Linux setup is perfect. :P [09:41] Hi, guys, I have to say on my netbook ubuntu has got a quiet dissapointing effect I've seen before on some other distros: it hangs on boot between login gdm screen and gnome loading. I'm still wondering, what's the business to fo there for 3-5 minutes?? Sometimes I've got no time to wait for this evil thing to accomplish its strange needs. Is it malfunctioning? [09:41] PoppingFlamingo, got the latest flash update? [09:42] hey guys let me paraphrase how can i remove module from autoloading ? [09:42] hipitihop_: Maybe ''hwinfo --gfxcard'' will give you more info. hwinfo is not installed by default though. [09:42] kickar: blacklist it [09:42] llutz, how ? [09:42] I just added a user. I made their home directory /var/www/staging.mysite.com/. I want them *only* to have read/write access to that dir, and nothing else. e.g. I don't think they should be able to read the other dirs in /var/www/, or people's home dirs, in case there's any sensitive data. What do you think? [09:42] !blacklist | kickar [09:42] kickar: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [09:42] hi, anyone has an idea why starting glxgears on a prosavageddr leads to system freeze? [09:42] Kameron: The problem is that FarmVille changes the cursor when you move the cursor into it, but Ubuntu keeps the normal cursor and loads it on top of the game cursor. If I could figure out how to prevent that, then the insane lag might be bearable. xD [09:42] how do i go about changing my login screen in the newest ubuntu? [09:42] I installed yesterday, and after several reboots it begins this lagging [09:42] kickar: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [09:43] anyone? [09:43] smiter, did you check this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [09:43] Hello , does it possible to find Hexadecimal value ( 0xfdd3) using the "grep" command ? [09:43] zackattack, okay.. yeah you can do that? what do i think.. a bit odd. what are you trying to get at? [09:44] kameron: i don't want the user to be able to snoop on my system [09:44] Shay27, yes. "cat filename | grep hexvalue" [09:44] i only want them to be able to write to that staging directory. [09:44] zackattack: dont give him ssh-access, just ftp-access and make it chroot (proftpd-setting) only to the /var/www/url/ [09:44] zackattack, you can do that. are you asking how to do that?

[09:44] kameron: grep pattern filename Using cat like that is useless [09:45] kameron: yes, i am asking how to do that [09:45] I was sitting for a long time on LXDE, because those gnome and xfce are infinite time to boot for no reason. Anybody having troubles with long waiting gnome to boot on ubuntu?? [09:45] zackattack, there's a lot of ways of doing that. ftp only is okay.

[09:46] now it IS booting, but typically getting worse and worse in several days [09:46] kameron: are u sure ? its not working [09:46] zackattack: with ssh you have the problem that /homer/username can (by default) read from anybody [09:46] !anyone | Hunt4 [09:46] Hunt4: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:46] Shay27: grep cannot find hex-values [09:46] Shay27, can you re-word what you're asking? are you looking for a string in a filename? [09:46] Shay27: grep $'\xfd\xd3' filename [09:46] iceroot: kameron can you recommend a good ftpd tutorial then? [09:47] geirha, hmm, installed but also no model info.... I'll use google and see if I can find out from the motherboard specifically it is a POV ION 330 [09:47] llutz: ok im trying dd. it doesnt show progress, but the disks are blinking/working so i think it works. ill let it run for some hours. thanks! [09:47] zackattack, have a look on tldp.org [09:47] zackattack: just install, look at the config and edit the chroot part for the /home [09:47] Pleas help me i am try to make openVAS server but its told me there is (NO SPACE LEFT ON DEVICE) and am working from a virtual machine pleas Help [09:47] Guest27909, dd doesn't show progress. [09:48] kameron: grep takes filenames as arguments. No need to use cat and grep when grep can do both. [09:48] Guest27909, if you're doing a large file it will take some time. [09:48] Guest27909: you can force dd showing progress with sending -USR1 to it [09:48] kameron: i am trying to find all lines in a file that contain the unicode character 0xfdd3 ? [09:48] Zolo, did you limit the space of the virtual drive? [09:48] geirha: i am trying to find all lines in a file that contain the unicode character 0xfdd3 ? [09:48] hi - i am trying to install ubuntu from an external hard drive but can't find anything in the forums on how to do this - can anyone help? [09:49] llutz: ok, ill try that [09:49] I dont now [09:49] good night folks [09:49] how can i [09:49] it should be possible i guess if you can do from a usb flash drive [09:50] Zolo, what virtual program are you using? [09:50] ok ill see [09:50] Shay27: Do you know the unicode number? [09:50] zackattack: in /etc/passwd use /bin/false to disable ssh-login, in proftp-conf at the hom-location use ~ and then search for chroot or jail in that conf and enable it. thats all [09:50] um [09:50] llutz: it says invalid option -- 'U' [09:50] zackattack: and add the user to the group ftpusers [09:50] vm ware player [09:50] How can i record the conference using farsight? [09:50] Guest27909: killall -USR1 dd [09:51] where is proftp-conf? [09:51] @iceroot [09:51] zackattack: /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (debian) but ubuntu should be the same [09:51] but i make 30 gb for that backtrack [09:51] llutz: still says invalid option -- 'U' [09:52] how can i 'burn' the ubuntu iso to my external hard drive? [09:52] llutz: not the killall, the dd === ortsvorsteher_ is now known as ortsvorsteher [09:52] geirha: u mean the unicode Decimal ?

[09:53] Guest27909: since your dd runs as root, you have to killall as root too [09:53] iceroot: thanks. how do i make sure proftpd is up and running? i added it to inetd [09:53] Shay27: Yes, I don't know how to map between hex values and unicode. U+FDD3 is not a valid unicode char at least [09:54] Zolo, i haven't used that program before but if you're out of disk space you can try expanding the size of the virtual drive in the options. [09:54] llutz: i did. sudo killall -USR1 dd [09:54] zackattack: connect to the server :) [09:54] Shay27: But for the hex values, grep $'\xfd\xd3' should work. [09:54] zackattack, ps - A | grep proftpd [09:54] yes i tried these instructions first - it is what i used when I had a usb stick around - but usb-creator will not work with my external harddrive [09:54] Hi all, in Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing. How can I fix this? [09:54] llutz: are you sure its USR1? [09:54] kameron: it's not running [09:54] Guest27909: pretty sure, works here fine [09:54] cameron hmmm thanks a lot [09:54] ill try [09:54] zackattack, it might have a different process name. try ps -A and look through the list. [09:55] geirha: this page contain all the information regarding to this char - http://www.unicodemap.org/details/0xFDD3/index.html [09:55] it says i need to format the harddrive, which i tired to several times and several different ways but couldnt get it to work [09:55] any1 know how to fix the flash player in ubuntu 9.10 64 bit ? [09:55] zackattack: its only running if someone is connecting. that is the deal with inetd [09:55] any idea what kind of formatting it looking for or what is going on?

Uninstall it, then fetch the adobe 64-bit alpha version, and put that in .mozilla/plugins [09:57] zackattack, system -> administartion -> users and groups [09:57] llutz: gives no output. im pretty sure theres no dd process running. theres no dd in the system monitor. [09:57] Shay27: In the terminal, do you get the right char if you type Ctrl+Shift+u d3fd ? [09:57] iceroot: "useradd: unknown group ftpuser" [09:57] Younder: I'm ssh'd in remotely; i don't have access to x11 [09:57] zackattack: adduser user group [09:57] zackattack, or from the console addgrm and adduser [09:57] addgrp [09:57] adduser: The group `ftpusers' does not exist.

There was a discussion about this issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140094 but [10:01] no solution... [10:01] kameron, qemu ? i guess not [10:02] kickar, okay that's fine. it manually loads that driver because it needs it. [10:02] kickar, did you run "sudo update-initramfs -u" after blacklisting the file?

[10:03] iceroot: thanks anyway [10:03] I'll try [10:03] Zeppelin, what program is it? [10:03] zhuotuo, imagodei: You're welcome [10:03] llutz: i googled a bit and tried "sudo kill -USR1 3961" in a new prompt. it gives "xxxxxx bytes (2,5 GB) copied, xxxx s, 18,4 MB/s" [10:03] it's a program called Runewin [10:04] kameron, yes /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [10:04] kameron, thats what i thought too [10:04] kickar, hmm i don't know what to say. it should be blacklisted. [10:04] kickar, there could be another program that loads it. [10:04] kameron, ok maybe some kind of lacky bug or so [10:04] kickar, do you have qemu installed? check. i know it loads it [10:05] Guest27909: strange, killall should have done too [10:05] Zeppelin, try "killall runewin" if that's the proces name.

[10:19] does anyone happen to know when the new gma 500 drivers are going to come out from intel? [10:19] LuciusMare, ....what? [10:19] !ot | patpatpat [10:19] kameron: i expected kubuntu-desktop to contain only KDE [10:19] patpatpat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:19] LuciusMare, it is. so is the kubuntu release. [10:20] but kubuntu release contains a lot of more things i dont need [10:20] for example,i will never use kopete,so i dont want it there [10:20] and other things [10:20] LuciusMare, if you were to debootstrap a base system, then install "kubuntu-desktop", you will have the same system as just installing the kubuntu release. [10:20] other things i dont know about,and dont need it [10:20] so kubuntu-desktop does not install only kde? [10:21] LuciusMare, kubuntu-desktop comes with kopete, etc, and lots of other software === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw [10:21] LuciusMare, right, kubuntu-desktop does not ONLY install kde [10:21] god [10:21] okay,thanks then [10:21] LuciusMare, you can install just KDE. or you can install kubuntu and remove all the extra bits. [10:22] kameron: my ubuntu box doesn't see the parallel port, modules lp and parport are enabled, i use the parallel port for a pic programmer, /dev/parport0 doesn't exsist, and so does /dev/lp0 [10:23] g5pw, i've never used a parallel port so i can't help you. [10:24] kk sorry :) anyone? === cyberjorge_ is now known as cyberjorge [10:24] kameron, the last time I used a paralell port was on an old redhat 5 system back in 99 [10:25] Younder: well, the parallel port is quite used in hobby electronics :) [10:25] Younder, in 9 i was still using macs and i don't think it had a pp.. [10:26] Hi. I have a lot of different machines I login to with ssh each day. It's getting to much to keep all these ports and ip numbers in my head, so I need to have.. something. Like a gui where I can easily save all my ssh sessions. Anyone that knows what am talking about here? :) [10:27] blinkiz: do any of them have actual DNS hostnames instead of just IP addresses? [10:27] lstarnes, yea, some of them have dns names [10:28] blinkiz: you could add entries for the IPs to /etc/hosts [10:28] lstarnes, well, it does not solve that each machine has different usernames and ports [10:29] blinkiz: you might just have to memorize them. I think putty supports storing sessions [10:29] lstarnes, yes it does. Is something like putty am looking for [10:29] blinkiz: possibly [10:29] blinkiz: but I prefer using cli utilities instead of gui whenever possible [10:30] lstarnes, well, a nice bash script would work for me [10:30] blinkiz: you could write a bash script for it [10:31] lstarnes, yeah, but maybe someone in #ubuntu had a better solution I thought :) [10:32] Hey. I'm thinking about getting a Hauppauge TV-Kort WinTV Nova T for recording television. But I wonder if its possible to connect the usb tv card directly to my CA module? === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away [10:35] blinkiz, do you need to do the same thing on many machines? [10:35] Younder, no, everyone is different === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw [10:36] blinkiz, do you know how to program? [10:36] Younder, yes [10:36] blinkiz, what language(s) do you you use? [10:36] Younder, bash and php [10:37] blinkiz, well learn some python.. [10:37] Younder, okay, nice solution... [10:37] blinkiz, The best for this sort of thing is probaly a menudriven ncurses app. === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [10:38] blinkiz: there's putty for linux too, don't know if that would help === nand_ is now known as nand [10:38] llutz, Hmm, going to check that out [10:38] hi! anyone got a clue why my ubuntu box doesn't halt? it displays [*numbers*]: System halted and stops there... [10:39] g5pw: what method are you using for halting? [10:39] sudo halt [10:39] Hey in bash can some one tell me how to find available displays, i and trying to start programs remotely on to a remote display. [10:39] g5pw: try sudo shutdown -h now [10:39] lol no [10:39] blinkiz, Seriously when your demands become spesific to your needs eventually you will have to roll your own, and python makes a great srcipting tool. Much better than bash. [10:39] mmh.. it does the same thing, i think... [10:40] trying now === Mud is now known as Guest25731 [10:40] g5pw: shutdown handles things differently [10:40] have found hotssh, putty, sshm, sshmenu and secpanel so far in the repository. Probably something will suite me :) [10:40] ok, will try now, tnx [10:41] sshm and sshmenu seems to be really good. Someone that has a console program to manage all ssh sessions. :) [10:42] Istarnes: same thing... [*numbers*] System halted. [10:42] g5pw: what about sudo poweroff? [10:42] hey, right now, i am using ubuntu 9.10 over microsoft virtual PC. is there any possibility to change to bigger resolution then 800x600 [10:43] will try now.. :) i fear it's something with bios.. is it possible?

It lists it as Vista (but boots fine). Can I change the label just to avoid confusion? [11:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306123 TheSarge [11:49] TheSarge, you need to use gconf-editor as in the link above [11:49] hanshenrik: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [11:50] hanshenrik: and 32bit can use all your ram, you just need PAE [11:51] Keiya: I think under the menu.lst in /boot/grub, you can change the label [11:51] hanshenrik: which is enabled by default in the server kernel [11:51] hashenrik: New kernels for the WLAN, and generally for the rest... [11:51] hi, what does "cp -var" does? [11:51] this is imo... [11:51] hanshenrik: so yes, a 32bit kernel can access all your ram [11:51] Keiya, edit menu.lst @/boot/grub [11:51] ActionParsnip1: yes i did, and the PAE seems not to be activated [11:51] looking for linux tools to fix Vista boot files I recently had to use gparted to copy partitions from a HD getting ready to fail.

[11:59] bigdavjoker, that's my point Vista is fine, it is GRUB that f.... up [11:59] For each package I download I had to change dvd.

[12:09] So. I have an encrypted /tmp on a separate partition, via dm-crypt. The way this works is that dm-crypt creates a new filesystem at boot time. But mount seems to be trying to mount it too soon – at a guess, cryptsetup is creating the device node before its finished creating a filesystem on it, so it can't be mounted when mountall tries. How can I fix this? [12:09] Okay I have the classic desktop again but no close maximize and minimize in the right hand corner? [12:09] hi! everybody, I have some time trying to conect my ipod touch without éxit I have tryed some options... jail brake, that wasn't good, and now I see ifuse is nice option, and I enstallit but I can't make it work! somebody can please help me?!

[12:09] vicktor_421: sounds like the drive's failing [12:09] vicktor_421: I'd use something like cfdisk to print out the partition table to check, but 'short read' probably indicates a failing drive...

Hopefully there are something useful --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [12:39] Doesn't seem simple to me [12:40] TheSarge: to many its simple, plastic surgery is simple to many surgeons but not us [12:40] is there anyway to clean out ram in ubuntu? [12:40] !info maximus | TheSarge (is it running?) [12:40] TheSarge: maximus (source: maximus): A window management tool. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.14-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 19 kB, installed size 144 kB [12:40] kcj1993: do you mean swap space or actual RAM? [12:40] kinja-sheep, Is that the netbook desktop thing? [12:40] How do I remove a module from the linux kernel if it's in use ? [12:40] kcj1993: sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [12:40] TheSarge: Yes. [12:40] does anyone know how to link the windows dll to wine [12:40] ? [12:41] TheSarge: One of the extra ten-or-so packages. [12:41] amy_: put them in the windows folders in wine [12:41] amy_: put it in ~/.wine/drive_c/WINDOWS you will need to use winecfg to tell wine to use the dll [12:41] ^that [12:42] kinja-sheep, Okay that removed that but it still maximizes everything so that have no close/maximize/etc? [12:42] TheSarge: listen, your window manager, metacity, is screwed. try removing its configuration files [12:42] actually the weird desktop thing is still there gr [12:43] MASARUwota, How? [12:43] is that how i be able to load up or install tomtom home [12:43] could someone with a 64-bit installtion upload their /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade somewhere? [12:43] hello, i need some models of webcam that work out of the box in ubuntu 9.10. thanks [12:43] TheSarge; look for ~/.metacity or a metacity dir in ~/.config [12:43] amy_: check the appdb [12:43] amy_: it may be completely incompatible [12:43] huh? [12:43] TheSarge: :/ like i said [12:44] I don't want to drop the cache. My system has been up for 14h and I'm only running xchat and system monitor and it's using 400mb of ram excluding cache [12:44] You don't make sense [12:44] I don't see why dist upgrade won't give me the normal setup? [12:44] hi, how do you set the the default user directory to root dir in proftpd? I always directed to /home/user [12:44] TheSarge: yes i do. there should be either a config file in ~/.metacity or ~/.config somewhere :/ [12:44] TheSarge: try it: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:44] TheSarge: its not that hard :/ [12:45] i'm getting this when the broadcom sta module loads: lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' [12:45] ok, following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Data%20Manually when I get the directory mounted, it is all humble jumble, letters that make no sense [12:45] MASARUwota, That isn't very specific [12:45] and the wireless device isn't working [12:45] ActionParsnip1: i have checked the appdb, it says it is compatible [12:45] anyone know why gnome-do uses 200% CPU on startup sometimes? (dual-core CPU) And it doesn't work. [12:45] TheSarge:just look for it already :/ jesus christ [12:45] TheSarge: http://pastebin.com/m24b2e276 [12:46] amy_: cool then read the guide below the bit saying its compatible and you will find hints [12:46] so anyone know how to clean the memory? [12:46] kcj1993: you mean physically/ [12:46] kcj1993: what do you mean clean the memory ? [12:46] amy_, return the brick, or use virtualbox (non open source edition) with USB passthrough [12:46] MASARUwota, I HAVE BEEN [12:46] the ram not swap [12:47] TheSarge: GOOD [12:47] kcj1993: what do you mean by "clean" [12:47] MASARUwota, wow how old are you? [12:47] TheSarge: why would you care? [12:47] TheSarge: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support please try to keep to that, MASARUwota you too please [12:47] lockd: how do you mean? [12:48] get rid of garbage that running programs accumulate over time [12:48] kcj1993: did my command not work? [12:48] kcj1993: if you kill the processes they are gone, otherwise you should look in the apps themselves [12:48] kcj1993: the kernel will deal with that for you, it's called garbage collection [12:49] All I see is compiz [12:49] I nuked the compiz configs and its still doing it [12:49] I did a metacity --replace though so I should be using metacity [12:50] amy_, it's not detected as a USB mass storage device, though? [12:50] Its almost like when its maximized the buttons are hiding under the top gnome panel [12:50] TheSarge: Any chance you're using Human Netbook Theme? [12:50] lockd: how do you return the brick or use virtualbox with usb passthrough [12:50] ? [12:50] kinja-sheep, No [12:50] lockd, how do you suggest me to do? [12:51] amy_, return the brick, means return the piece of hardware you can't use without proprietary drivers. chances are you can't do that [12:51] were do i get the list of ubuntu bugs [12:51] hi folks... I've got a keymap problem... would be glad about pointers on how to debug this: [12:51] amy_, as for virtualbox, you go to virtualbox.org and download their software, and install a version of windows, and HOPE it works [12:51] TheSarge, you said you removed the package maximus? did you also restart your X session? [12:51] TheSarge: "gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide false" [12:51] but why does wine appdb says it is compatible then? [12:51] traveller, I logged out and in? === tommy is now known as Guest70912 [12:52] ikonia: when? [12:52] I've got a hardy machine running synergys and a koala machine running synergyc - both have the same keymab xkb configuration [12:52] Hoi, is there any way to tell what package has using apt? [12:52] TheSarge, yes, logging out and then in [12:52] traveller, Ya I did that [12:52] kcj1993: real time [12:52] however, when I type my @ via synergy on the koala machine, I get an Ω (Omega) instead [12:52] lockd, do you mean by download the tomtom software from virtualbox.org? [12:53] ikonia: how about: sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [12:53] xp used less memory that this [12:53] how can i change the ubuntu startup sound? [12:53] why would fdisk keep giving me a unable to open /dev/sda error [12:53] ActionParsnip1: that's only going to be cache data, that will get cleared up in garbage collection too, but thats one way [12:53] Should I just remove the entire ubuntu-netbook-remix package? [12:53] when I type the @ with the keyboard, of the respective machine, I actually do get the xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb ~/.xkb/keymap/xkb_map_grsch $DISPLAY [12:53] amy_, download the /virtualbox/ software from virtualbox.org, if you absolutely must have the tomtom software running. [12:53] do get the @ [12:53] kcj1993: windows and ubuntu use memory in different ways, I'm confident the memory you think is in use is being used as cache [12:53] brb [12:53] (mist-pasted, sorry) [12:53] also, can 2 different linux distros on the same HD share a swap partition? [12:54] axle: yes [12:54] ok but it got about 3 on there? which one do i download? [12:54] dath: awesome [12:54] yes they can axle [12:54] ikonia: It's not cache [12:54] where can i change the ubuntu startup sound? [12:54] i would like to make cheese to work with kubuntu, what should i install? [12:54] it says virtual box binaries or virtualbox Open Source Edition (OSE)? [12:54] lockd? [12:55] kcj1993: how do you know [12:55] ActionParsnip1: The answer is no, TheSarge has not asked in #compiz so I dont know why he told you no one is active there [12:55] Got it, thanks traveller! [12:55] i've already installed cheese but it crashes when i try to record something [12:55] enthdegree: dpkg -S [12:55] !gfx [12:55] xthankyou [12:55] soreau, Yes I did want a log? [12:55] !glx [12:55] TheSarge, no worries [12:55] amy_, you have to get the binaries, because OSE does NOT support USB pass through [12:55] but when i use it in gnome it works normally [12:55] TheSarge: Someone already told you your problem which is maximus, but you did not listen [12:55] okm [12:55] amy_, and you will have to pass through devices [12:55] anyone know why fdisk cannot open /dev/sda? im running on sdb, and i did a fuser -m to check if its in use, and its not, i dont know what else fdisk wants from me [12:55] ikonia: because the total would be 850mb [12:55] soreau, I didn't thats funny cause I did? You sure are a ignorant fool. [12:56] kcj1993: what are you actually seeing that concerns you? [12:56] TheSarge: no name calling please [12:56] axle: try: sudo fdisk /dev/sda [12:56] Wait, does dpkg -S search uninstalled packages too? [12:56] ikonia: sort of [12:56] TheSarge: Not listening while calling people names is doubly negative for your position. You will never get anywhere this way [12:56] lockd, do I download the one for windows hosts, OS X hosts, Linux hosts, Solaris and OpenSolaris hosts or Software Developer Kit? [12:56] kcj1993: could you explain what you are seeing that worries you please [12:57] ActionParsnip1: thanx your a genius [12:57] enthdegree: you can use: apt-cache search something to search packages [12:57] axle: hardly, but thanks :D [12:57] amy_, the host is what OS you are running it on [12:57] ** (cheese:2998): WARNING **: No GConf default audio src key and alsasrc doesn't work [12:57] where can i change the gnome login sound? [12:57] enthdegree: dpkg -S doesn't, but you can use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to do that, or the "apt-file" program [12:57] lockd, i am running it on ubuntu linux [12:58] dath preferences-sound [12:58] ikonia: if I restart i would be seeing about 180mb in use excluding cache [12:58] sas [12:58] hum. Ok, thanks. :D [12:58] Sacho: i can only choose betwen ubuntu theme and no sound [12:59] kcj1993: what are you actually seeing that worries you though [12:59] ikonia: yes why would it climb so much? [12:59] output handler "ob_gzhandler" conflicts with "zlib output compression" => in my webbrowser , I try to get IPplan working on Ubuntu server [12:59] dath: you can change the actual sound [12:59] kcj1993: WHAT are you actually seeing that worries you [13:00] soreau, Dude what are you taling about my issue was resolved long ago... nothing to do with what you were talking about. Just mind your business and troll somewhere else please. [13:00] Sacho: i can only choose a warning sound [13:01] actually, xev tells me that when I type the @ overy synergy, it receives an additional Keypress event for Level-3-Shift, then a keypress for Omega then a release for Level-3-Shift, and then a release for Q [13:01] that's just plain nonsense... :( [13:01] dath: I have no idea what you mean. From Desktop -> Login you can change the login sound. Just click on Default, select Custom, and select your sound [13:01] TheSarge: Seems you finally payed attention. Maybe next time you will listen sooner [13:01] TheSarge: enough now - please stop it - soreau you too [13:01] soreau, yes I "payed" attention. haha. Goto school. [13:01] TheSarge: enough - [13:02] ikonia, Excuse me, you are talking to the wrong guy, he is the one trolling. So leave me alone.

[14:20] fgiasson: I'm native english [14:20] gdb: I did let it slide, I asked him to stop [14:21] No, you spent more time telling him to stop swearing than you devoted to an answer. Something like "woah, no need for the f word, but let me help you with your issue..." is more apropos. [14:21] ikonia: let me check which repository I am using. In fact, it is a EC2 instance, so I don't think it could apply to (c) except if they have real issues [14:21] so will check (a) and (b) [14:21] Dr_Willis, so doing it through the command line, sudo smbpasswd -a myusername ... does that just give access to myusername for smb or do I actually need to include a password too [14:21] fgiasson: if libc had a fatal problem like that it would have long been noticed, so I can only suggest the place you're getting it from is not an official build or a hardware problem [14:21] gdiz: I've responded with detailed assistance to him, [14:21] yup, maybe it is the problem :|; will tell you in a second [14:22] gdiz: it will ask for a password to use. I alw2ays use the same password as the users login pass. [14:22] gdiz: theres proberly ways to automate it. but i never bother [14:22] gdiz: i just have a 4 user home lan. :) [14:22] Dr_Willis, ikonia I'll give that a try [14:23] gdiz: do you have a large number of people/clients using this ? [14:23] He said he has 4 users. [14:23] gdb: ahhh sorry I thought it was you who where having the problem [14:23] ActionParsnip1, http://pastebin.com/m2192586e [14:23] ikonia: will have to create another instance, so will know in 5 mins [14:23] fgiasson: no problem [14:23] No worries. :-) [14:23] :( [14:23] pl [14:24] Hey [14:24] What does suse mean? [14:24] Dday: ok run: lshw | less then wait a bit [14:24] !ot | vonadhz: [14:24] vonadhz:: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:24] vonadhz: that's an alternative distro - try #suse [14:24] vonadhz: I don't think it actually means anything. [14:24] join ##ubucentrum.net [14:24] oh alright [14:25] is there a way to mark a package as one you dont want to install with apt-get even if a meta package would install it? [14:25] so will this work on ubuntu 9.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855? [14:25] saritor: Yes, through apt pinning the details of which are documented somewhere (and not in my head). But that may get you pointed in the right direction. [14:25] vonadhz: I'd recommend against tryig it [14:26] vonadhz: that's putting grub 1 back in place [14:26] gdb: thanks [14:26] Of course! [14:26] gdb: it does [14:26] ikonia: really? [14:26] ActionParsnip1, P5LD2-SE from ASUStek computers inc [14:26] vonadhz: yes [14:26] ikonia: i though it replaces it with gfx boot [14:26] vonadhz: given that the date on that thread is 2006 - i wouldent try it [14:26] okay thanks guys [14:26] vonadhz: which is built on grub1 [14:26] you guys have synaptic right [14:27] yes [14:27] if you open it [14:27] hello [14:27] search [14:27] gfxboot [14:27] gdb: SuSE, pronounced soo'-suh, comes from the German acronym, "Software und Systementwicklung (Software and System Development [14:27] vonadhz: or just do a apt-cache search gfxboot :) [14:27] ActionParsnip1: Ah! I never knew that! That's something I'll take note and try to remember. ;-) [14:28] gdb: fairly useless info [14:28] vonadhz: What's the problem? [14:28] Dr_Willis: lol i dont know what that is [14:28] im a noob [14:28] recently started [14:28] i downloaded the teamspeak 3 server software. how do i start the program in the terminal? [14:28] vonadhz: I advise you not to use it [14:28] AZDiablo: read the documentation on it [14:28] ikonia, no I don't. But I tried logging on as my username and it wouldn't let me. So, I specified a new username and gave smb permission, but whenever I tried to turn off the computer while connected to the smb share, it said another user was logged on. so, I needed to figure out how to log on as the same user logged on to ubuntu box, and that did the trick right there [14:28] Dr_Willis: okay but the one in synaptic is the same right? [14:28] sorry [14:28] wrong person [14:29] ikonia: so its the same thing right? [14:29] How can i use NTFS as the defualt fs? [14:29] i upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and the sound no longer works, anyone know what to do? [14:29] vonadhz: it's the same package as listed in that forum post [14:29] ikonia: xept it says the most recent version is for karmic [14:29] HardDrive: whoaaa not advisable [14:29] WHy not? [14:29] HardDrive: THis is THE WAY: DON'T [14:29] vonadhz: apt-cache and synaptic and the other apt tools all access the same stuff. [14:29] go to admin-aut and setup permission to use [14:29] HardDrive: NTFS support is not %100 relible [14:29] ikonia: karmic wasnt around in 2006 though [14:29] How so? [14:29] vonadhz: so ? [14:29] HardDrive: ntfs can't hold the linu permissions needed [14:29] HardDrive: its not even doable.. so dont try. [14:29] NTFS is journalled [14:29] ikonia: so its just a newer version correct? [14:29] HardDrive: ... [14:29] HardDrive: so its journlled... so what. [14:29] HardDrive: as in it's not %100 stable [14:30] Dday 9.10 gives me wireless problems, I rolled back to 9.04 [14:30] HardDrive can I talk to you in private? [14:30] HardDrive: your using a close MS file system on linux, not practicle [14:30] HardDrive: so is ext3/4 and proberly other filesystems. [14:30] ikonia: does it replace grub 2 with gfxboot or with grub1? [14:30] vonadhz: you're entering a mine field.. if you're that new it's probalby not best that you start replacing or messing with grub.. unless you really like breaking things and reinstalling [14:30] vonadhz: grub 1 [14:30] Hi all, in Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing. Any pointers on how to fix this? === DBU`s is now known as rafaqueque [14:30] Lartza_, sure [14:30] ehh im exploring [14:30] HardDrive: NTFS does not support (easily) Unix sytem permissions, it does not support extended attributes, it is closed source (owned by Microsoft) and the implementation in Linux is reversed engineered. It is not designed with Unix security in mind. It is useful for removable media that is shared with Windows machines, it is not useful for use as a primary fs type for Linux (or any Unix). [14:31] trijntje: turn down the sound levels in pulse [14:31] with python, how do i write code, save it as .py then use that to convert into an exutable [14:31] trijntje: if the machine just sits for a while (or no sound plays for a while) does it crack/pop right befor it plays a sound? [14:31] ikonia: coudlnt u just install grub 1 then? [14:31] Dr_Willis, yes [14:31] ikonia; wats the difference or advantage of getting gfx over grub1? [14:31] vonadhz: if you really wanted to, but it wouldn't have the gxfboot patches [14:31] trijntje: thats a sign of the 'power saveing' feature of the sound card/settings causing issues. [14:31] pasjr, whats pulse? [14:31] vonadhz: I strongly suggest reading about something before installing it, or at least knowing what grub-gfxboot does [14:31] trijntje: theres some config file ya can edit to 'fix' that [14:31] I can't remember if Ubuntu is supporting NTFS through a FUSE driver or not. Does anyone else know off the top of their head? [14:31] pulse is your heartbeat [14:31] gdb: NTFS supports alternate streams, and ntfs-3g can use them as xattrs. NTFS also supports detailed ACLs, and ntfs-3g can use them for Unix permissions. [14:31] !pulse [14:31] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [14:32] ikonia: thats why Im asking you guys [14:32] gdb: ntfs-3g uses fuse i recall. [14:32] gdb: And yeah, Ubuntu comes with the FUSE-based ntfs-3g driver. [14:32] ikonia: I couldnt really find a detailed desciption [14:32] Johnaha: put « #!/usr/bin/env python » as the first line of the program give it executable permissions [14:32] vonadhz: don't worry about things like grub [14:32] pulse audio, it is in 9.10 look in media-pulse device manager [14:32] vonadhz: you may want to learn some more linux basics befor worrying about eyecandy [14:32] NTFS supports shadow copys [14:32] vonadhz: then why do you want to install it if you don't know what it is === Guest25731 is now known as Mud [14:32] HardDrive: not on linux it doesn't [14:32] HardDrive: it does not have full support on ubuntu [14:32] of course it dosent [14:32] ikonia: im not installing it [14:32] what about HFS+ support? [14:32] I have an external HFS+ drive for my imac [14:32] !hfs [14:32] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [14:32] HardDrive: limited [14:33] Dr_Willis, I already deactivated the powersafe option in alsa-base.conf [14:33] trijntje: im out of ideas then. [14:33] grawity: I was using it recently to copy some data from an IRIX system to an external disk using NTFS attached to an Ubuntu machine but I didn't look into the details. I was just glad it worked and I didn't have to reformat the external drive. [14:33] ikonia: im just a fan off all the custimization so ive been wanting to change the grub boot screen and what not [14:33] why is HFS+ closed too like NTFS? [14:33] vonadhz: it adds a graphics option [14:33] hi, was grip removed from the repos of ubuntu 9.10? [14:33] how can you unfreeze your usb mouse and keyboard? The system itself is running. [14:33] HardDrive: yes i belive it is. [14:33] HardDisk: yes HFS+ is clsoed [14:33] closed* [14:33] ikonia: and have had a lot of problems, Dr_wilis tried to help me but that didnt work [14:33] !info grip karmic | Segaja [14:33] Segaja: Package grip does not exist in karmic [14:33] What is the point of keeping 2 filesystems closed? [14:33] Segaja: yes i belive it was [14:33] ikonia: Ill keep researching [14:33] HardDrive: go ask MS and apple. [14:33] Dr_Willis, np, thanks for your time [14:33] HardDrive: ask them [14:33] erusul, wh will that do? [14:33] scuse me [14:33] hm, so where do i find a deb file for that? [14:33] what happened to gddrescue in synaptic? i can't find it [14:33] HardDrive: that's nothing to do with ubuntu so offtopic here [14:34] trijntje, it has nothing to do with alsa, you some where turned on pulse audio, either turn it off or remove it and that should fix your sound issue [14:34] you can read/write to HFS+ no problems just can only do it with root [14:34] or does someone know a good other tool like grip [14:34] ikonia: hummm, using http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy, seems good, no? [14:34] HardDrive: Proprietry software model. You purchase a license to use the software, but are not granted access to source code nor are you granted distribution rights. [14:34] HardDrive: why is any fs closed....ask the developers [14:34] gdb: It was in ntfs-3g 'Advanced' for quite a while. Might not be in Ubuntu then. But I have tested both. [14:34] (hardy, hardy-update, etc) [14:34] fgiasson: that should be spot on [14:34] HardDrive: closed files systems = "We don't want anyone playing in our sandbox" [14:34] Johnaha: it will run « python yourscript » [14:34] hello, i have a midi keyboard that i connect through USB to my computer; then in order to hear something, i need to start qsynth, and i need to connect the output of the keyboard to the input of qsynth using qjackctl, but then i have a problem using gtick at the same time, because whenever qsynth is on, i get "Please check is speficied sound device and sample file are accessible" when i try to start the metronome [14:34] could someone tell me how to set up printer sharing...preferably bonjour printing but windows printing on ubuntu would work too...I've been reading that 9.10 has been having some trouble, but I wanted see if anyone had a workaround for it [14:34] k [14:34] if ntfs is closed up how did NTFS-3g figure it out without running into legal trouble? [14:34] i have gutsy gibbon and when i try installing it says i should enable universe but i did enable it and through synaptic i still can't find it [14:35] i'm talking of gddrescue [14:35] pasjr, where can I do that? I just did a clean install of Karmic and then I got this issue [14:35] ikonia: could it be because some software that shouldn't are running? [14:35] gnu's ddrescue, antonio diaz's [14:35] HardDrive: reverse engineering file formats and filesystem formats isn't illegal [14:35] HardDrive: it's reversed engineered, it's not NTFS [14:35] HardDrive: blackbox reverese engineering (ie; not decompiling) is perfectly legal. [14:35] NTFS sucks anyways [14:35] o [14:35] anyone here got kismet experience ? [14:35] This is how Samba implemented a Windows domain controller. [14:35] IMO NTFS is very durable [14:35] Hi. Am looking for a guide how to install my desktop karmic so it authenticates against my ldap server. Searching google and I get a bunch of tutorials explaining how to change things in system files. Am sure it exist easier ways in karmic. To start with, the package ldap-auth-client. [14:35] HFS+ is really that durable [14:35] fgiasson: I don't see how, the only other option I can think of is that you've manually updated libc from outside the repositories, but I'm confident you'd have mentioned that [14:36] HardDrive: no -ones is arguing that [14:36] can i use the lenny package of grip on ubuntu 9.10 ? [14:36] HardDrive: it's just not fully supported on linux [14:36] egL « #!/usr/bin/env python » [14:36] print "hi" [14:36] Segaja: no [14:36] ok [14:36] gdb: samba also had input from microsoft in development afaik [14:36] saves as hi.py [14:36] is there a way to reset the usb to get my peripherals to work again? [14:36] how to add a char to the end of line [14:36] the bottom line is ntfs and HFS+ dont have full support [14:36] thanks for the info [14:36] HardDrive: correct [14:36] HardDrive: yeah the only way to fix it is with Windows crappy OS, too many hard reboots and it just fails [14:36] anyone? [14:36] trijntje, first look in media, do you have the pule device manger? or look in syn manager in the installed list [14:36] ikonia: do you know where i can find a .deb file of grip? or do you know an other tool with the same features as grip? [14:36] HardDrive: ntfs-3g's support for ntfs is very good [14:36] can windows read linux filesystems? [14:36] Segaja: no [14:36] Segaja: trh the getdeb or ppa repos [14:36] HardDrive: no [14:36] HardDrive: not native [14:36] HardDrive: Almost. [14:36] HardDrive: not very stable - but yes ext3 is supported [14:36] !ext3 | HardDrive [14:36] HardDrive: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [14:37] HardDrive: you need 3rd party tools [14:37] Hi. Am looking for a guide how to install my desktop karmic so it authenticates against my ldap server. Searching google and I get a bunch of tutorials explaining how to change things in system files. Am sure it exist easier ways in karmic. To start with, the package ldap-auth-client. [14:37] Dr_Willis: getdeb.net seems to be down [14:37] Segaja: i dident do it... [14:37] ;P [14:37] why does Ubuntu use ext4 its tons better than ext3 [14:37] HardDrive: Yes, and the free alternatives, ext4, jfs, xfs, et al, are just as if not moreso. I'd suggest giving ext3 a spin and see how it works for you. :-) I'm not aware of the support status of ext4 in Ubuntu. (I just come here to help out, my main Linux is Debian). [14:37] doesn't* [14:37] ikonia: I did use that ubuntu (hardy) EC2 AMI: http://alestic.com/; I don't think they re-compiled libc neither [14:37] comawhite_: it does [14:37] comawhite_: But it does. [14:37] k thanks [14:37] Dr_Willis: i didn't say you did :) [14:37] anyone here got kismet experience ? (wifi scanning tool) [14:37] HardDrive: ext3 but not ext4 i think [14:37] i will soon be installing ubuntu on my main partition instead of having it in virtualbox [14:37] gdb ext4 > ext3 [14:38] oh [14:38] ext4 is like 33% Better then ext3 :) [14:38] vituralbox how retro [14:38] comawhite_: It's not generally reocommended to use ext4 in production as it's still under (reasonably) heavy development. Fedora has made the transition but they tend to be the most technically cutting edge distribution, the early adopters. [14:38] :P [14:38] has the address of repositories changed form 7.10 to today? [14:38] !exfat [14:38] fgiasson: I don't know for certain but you're pointing at a PPA - that PPA could include incompatible libc pacakges in it [14:38] pasjr: huh? [14:38] !oldrelease > subichan [14:38] comawhite_: its default in karmic and lucid [14:38] subichan: changed a long time ago when 7.10 was made eol [14:38] subichan: some mirrors may have been added or removed [14:38] nothing [14:38] anyone knows if it's possible to emulate the mouse using my keyboard ? (using fluxbox on Lenny) [14:38] gdb: I thought Ubuntu was earlier like Fedora [14:38] subichan: once the release gets so old. i THink the repos get moved to some 'archive.ubuntu.com' or similery named server [14:38] ikonia: PPA? [14:39] subichan: but 7.10 itself is no longer in the main repos [14:39] i have never had problems with ext4 [14:39] same [14:39] !PPA > fgiasson [14:39] fgiasson, please see my private message [14:39] !eol | subichan [14:39] subichan: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [14:39] mke`: ive seen it done befor.. but not sure if it was a wm feature or X feature [14:39] pasjr, I dont know what to look for, can you be more specific? [14:39] oh but then how can i download something for it? [14:39] ok thanks [14:39] subichan: change your sources.list [14:39] subichan: use the old-releases.ubuntu.com mirror [14:39] thx anyway dr_willis ;) [14:40] ikonia: thanks for these explanations, I will poke around to see if I couldn't find the issue with this PPA [14:40] lstarnes: i should put that in the repositories section? [14:40] fgiasson: may I make a suggestion [14:41] I have since remove 9.10 from my system, it to gave me a problem but with wireless. I have forgot the location excatly with out looking at it I am sorry [14:41] ikonia: sure, go ahead [14:41] fgiasson: update to ubuntus' latest updates before adding alestic repos [14:41] subichan: you should use that for all of the main ubuntu repos [14:41] fgiasson: see if that causes you any problems [14:41] fgiasson: then add the alestic repo and update and see if that's the breaker [14:41] Hello, someone knows some open source alternative to flash? At best in ubuntu packet list? [14:41] AmokPaule: gnash or swfdec [14:41] ikonia: ok will check tha [14:41] AmokPaule: those wont do everything the nonfree flash does [14:41] AmokPaule: The main one I'm aware of.. are the ones ActionParsnip1 just said. lol [14:41] so how could I test if my (serial) mouse isn't dead ? can't move it in X.. [14:41] fgiasson: worth looking [14:42] * gdb is too slow at the kbd this morning! [14:42] Ty you all :) [14:42] lstarnes: the problem is i don't know where i should write the new server [14:42] mke`: you could go to the console and try 'sudo cat /dev/psaux' or /dev/mouse and move the thing around. [14:42] I will run a 9.10 live cd later today and pull the steps for you, I will post them at http://www.Micro2GB.com [14:42] mke`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [14:42] subichan: in /etc/apt/sources.list, replace all instances of the old server with old-releases.ubuntu.com [14:42] thanks .. will check it out [14:43] lstarnes: thanks [14:43] hi all [14:43] has anyone ever messed with setting up a nfs share on ubuntu...I'm kind of curious what people thought vs. smb and if it is better, how to set it up [14:44] Must step out for a smoke, see all later:) [14:44] gdiz: for linux to linix nfs can worn muich bnetter [14:44] gdiz: I'd say it depends on your client. What OS is your client using? [14:44] can someone help me with the gnome delays bug [14:44] have to wait 2 minutes before gnome is completely loaded [14:45] my client is running os x 10.6 [14:45] As Dr_Willis is suggesting, for Linux -> Windows, Samba is your answer. For Linux -> Linux/Unix, then NFS is the way to go. [14:45] ïðèâåò [14:45] Hi. Am looking for a guide how to install my desktop karmic so it authenticates against my ldap server. Searching google and I get a bunch of tutorials explaining how to change things in system files. Am sure it exist easier ways in karmic. To start with, the package ldap-auth-client. [14:45] Ah, I'd use Samba for that. [14:45] Êòîíèòü ïèçäèò ïî ðóññêè [14:45] ?? [14:45] For Linux -> OSX, I'd go with Samba (and that's what I'm using myself).

[14:47] gdiz: It does, and you can try connecting to an NFS share with command-k (Connect to Server) but I've found Samba to be more than adequate. Mac OS X integrates into Windows networks just fine. I've not used it as an NFS client but I also feel that Samba (for what I suspect you want to do) works out of the box with less configuration on the Ubuntu side. [14:48] I wonder if OS-X is using samba, or if they did their own. === rodri is now known as Rodri [14:48] Dr_Willis: it can do [14:48] well ok, just out of curiousity, how do you set up an nfs share on the ubuntu side? [14:48] not ever tryed [14:48] Yes, at home I use a Windows networking protocol to hook a Mac OS X machine to a Linux machine. And I have no Windows machines at all (other than this laptop from work). Ironic, no? [14:49] Dr_Willis: OS X uses samba cups and all that stuff [14:49] Dr_Willis: apple owns cups now [14:50] erUSUL: last i saw apple was sort of claming it 'invented' cups at some of the web sites. :) sort of missinformation... [14:50] gdb: SAMBA implements CIFS unix extensions (permissions etc..) so is not a bad choice for linux to linux anymore. or so i heard [14:50] erUSUL: not having touched a mac much I showed a diehard mac user http://localhost:631 to configure a difficult printer.. He'd never seen it before and was pretty amazed.. so was I that he'd never seen it. :/ [14:51] Dr_Willis: july 2007 they bought it [14:51] which flag in the mv command will overwrite directories even if they aren't empty? [14:51] Right - they bought it.. but the site i saw sort of said they invented it. :) not bought it. heh [14:51] Dr_Willis: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/12/apple-buys-cups/ [14:52] scunizi: well apple surely knows how to wrap things in beatifull paper ;P be it unix cups apache ldap etc... [14:52] Is it possible to easily upgrade to new versions of Ubuntu using aptitude dist-upgrade? [14:52] erUSUL: That very well could be. The end result I was looking for on OSX was to have a shared network drive on the desktop. I'm not sure using OSX as an NFS client will provide that (I think it will work like NFS on any other Unix). I can't see it being a bad option for Linux -> Linux. It's pretty seamless on OSX when under /Volumes. [14:52] Or must one install again from a CD/DVD?

[14:56] thanks llutz [14:56] how can i upgrade ubuntu from 9.0.4 to 9.10 using cd [14:57] srv: you need the alternate cd for an in-place upgrade [14:57] srv: the alternative installer cd can worjk as a repo. [14:57] !upgrade | srv [14:57] srv: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [14:57] srv: you need the alternate cd [14:57] LewisDre4m: is the workgroup name used by samba the same as the onw used on the windows machines? [14:57] what's the fastest mirrow to download ubuntu from if i'm in aruba/barbados [14:58] lstarnes: Let me check, where do I find out that? [14:58] why is Ubuntu Netbook Remix so slow on my EeePC 1000HD with 1GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD? [14:58] LewisDre4m: in samba's configuration files [14:59] LewisDre4m: /etc/samba/smb.conf is probably the file to look for [14:59] can wubi produce bootable LIVE usbs of ubuntu? [15:00] arubaguy: I suggest you try torrents; they are lot faster plus less pressure on the server. [15:00] lstarnes: I'm just checking I have Samba correctly installed. When I type Samba into "ubuntu software center" It shows SMB4K first then Samba underneith. Which one should I install or have installeD? [15:00] phoenixzorn: the interface isn't overly fast. have you got 3d accelleration? [15:00] dnivra_: can you give me the link this machine im on is really slow [15:00] phoenixzorn: does https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/349314 look familiar? [15:00] brand new install, connected to the same wifi as this computer, drops wifi constantly, drops google talk connection, won't surf to websites of any kind, and attempted a download of irssi, and it crawled at 240B/sec.... in Windows, the same computer flies... never skipping a beat and downloading at the full 22mbps of my connection. [15:00] can someone look at this http://pastebin.com/m79adc0 gnome has al huge delay at startup [15:00] LewisDre4m: I don't know anything about the software center [15:01] Where did you install samba from? [15:01] LewisDre4m: sudo apt-get install samba [15:01] achadwick, not so much... no tiling, just entirely slow... [15:01] LewisDre4m: I used the package managers [15:01] phoenixzorn: be interesting to see if there's anything bubbling up to the top of "top" or "iotop" in a terminal. Doesn't sound much like a graphics issue. [15:01] Pulse audio is an evil piece of work chewing 80% of my CPU [15:01] LewisDre4m: I'm using 8.04 so I don't even have the software center [15:01] Ubuntu software center built into linux . . . oh [15:01] lol [15:01] k let me do as you typed. [15:01] May I ask out of interest why you don't user 9.10? [15:02] phoenixzorn: do you see anything chewing up CPU/RAM when you run top? [15:02] LewisDre4m: I like stability. [15:02] its not a graphics issue... it's an overall sluggishness issue, which confuses me because of how well it ran before I installed it... from the flash drive, it was just as fast as windows... as soon as I installed it, it became slow [15:02] ehm excuse me i've just run ddrescue and it started perfectly but after 3 secs it froze the system.. i'm using the gutsy live cd.. should i reset the computer or just wait? [15:02] LewisDre4m: and it is too much of a hassle to upgrade [15:02] arubaguy: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ [15:02] lemme check... I'm on a different laptop [15:02] lstarnes: I see. [15:02] Dr_Willis, not sure if you remember but i was asking a while ago about a tool to display the status of key and mouse buttons for purposes of screencasts. I found : http://code.google.com/p/key-mon/ [15:02] phoenixzorn: does your wifi device need firmare? [15:02] ActionParsnip: What is alternate cd? cant i use ubuntu 9.10 cd from ubuntu [15:03] LewisDre4m: especially when going from a release earlier than 9.04 to 9.10 [15:03] srv: no [15:03] ActionParsnip, no [15:03] srv: you need the alternate [15:03] !alternate | srv [15:03] srv: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [15:03] lstarnes: I understand. [15:03] airtonix: i saw that on some tutoprial site the other day and bookmarked it also. o [15:03] lstarnes: A bit like Vista to windows 7 is not too bad but 98SE to Windows 7 is a joke! [15:03] lol [15:03] phoenixzorn: is it a realtek chip? [15:04] LewisDre4m: fwiw, I have tried ubuntu 10.04 alpha 1 in a virtual machine [15:04] hold on [15:04] lstarnes: fwiw <----------- What does that mean? [15:04] LewisDre4m: for what it's worth [15:05] lstarnes: i run it on my desktop now, works as well as karmic for me :) [15:05] watching top run right now... load average 0.34, 0.13, 0.12.... [15:05] hey, I recently updated ubuntu and grub, and I now have error that says, that searching for partition fails [15:05] Xorg is using 1.3% proc time, and that's the highest. [15:05] lstarnes: I just installed samba the way you instructed me but I can't find the program anywhere what list is it in? [15:05] LewisDre4m: samba isn't a regular desktop program [15:05] if I remove the search line in grub error goes away, how can I fix this pernamently [15:05] LewisDre4m: it runs as a background service [15:05] but . . . The one I was using the other day has a full GUI [15:06] LewisDre4m: which should be started automatically as soon as you install it or start your machine [15:06] ActionParsnip, Atheros card [15:06] phoenixzorn: reboot then run: dmesg | less see what the bootup picks up and the settings [15:06] oh [15:06] phoenixzorn: what's the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product [15:06] hi guys. I am trying to setup a local SMTP server for testing purposes on my machine. I used postfix to do that. Now I tried to send an email but all emails get stuck in my mailq. here's the output of mailq: http://www.pastebin.ca/1723756 can anyone help? [15:06] lstarnes: I must have been using some newer thing the other day because it had a program in system admin which has a GUI === dvz- is now known as Yellow_Snow_Fox [15:07] LewisDre4m: I think there may be GUI controls for samba [15:07] lstarnes: Anyway well it said it installed so . . . what now captin? [15:07] lstarnes: theres the functionality innautilus now [15:07] LewisDre4m: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [15:07] if anybody has had experience with ddrescue please lemme know if it's supposed to freeze the system while working properly.. [15:07] smb://servername/share should let you connect, now [15:07] in nautilus, at least [15:07] JustMozzy: can you ping from your mail server to the IPs in the log? Can you telnet to their port 25 from there? [15:08] JustMozzy: Checked /var/log/mail.log? === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [15:09] achadwick: ping works but telnet doesn't. how come it is trying to use the foreign SMTP to send the email? [15:09] LewisDre4m: i can send you my smb.conf for reference if you want, its childishly simple [15:09] Hi all. I've just installed gedit-dev, which contains such /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gedit-2.20.pc file. Yet pkg-config doesn't list gedit. Any thoughts ? [15:09] ActionParsnip, AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (Atheros b/g) [15:09] lstarnes: hey hey hey! Now In PLACES / NETWORK / WINDOWS NETWORK / there is not only the original "WORKSNET" WITH my windows machines in but a folder now called "WORKSGROUP" which has my linux computer in. is this a good sign? [15:09] JustMozzy: That's what a MTA is _supposed_ to do: it transmits messages to the recipient's MTA. [15:09] JustMozzy: Where else would it put them? [15:09] ActionParsnip: I'll see how I go with this first so I can understand but thank you so much anyway. [15:09] hey, is there a ready ubuntu 6.06 bootcd which has sshd on it? [15:09] LewisDre4m: you probably need to change something [15:09] saftsack_: why 6.06? [15:10] grawity: hmm... ok... I am not so experienced in SMTP. I used to use some free SMTP software on windows and that's all actually [15:10] lstarnes, the ips drivers in the kernel seems to be broken or something in later kernel versions. so my serveraid-7k is not detected properly [15:10] grawity: so what can I do to make it work? [15:10] lstarnes: So just to confirm in Networks / windows network there is two folder one called "WORKSNET" which is my network and has windows pc;s in but a folder called WORKSGROUP which has my linux pc in. Now what captin!? [15:11] phoenixzorn: if you run: uname -r do you see: 2.6.31-11-generic [15:11] grawity: telnet to the IP with port 25 gives me "no route to host" (and that's actually what I find in the logs too) [15:11] LewisDre4m: you have to edit the workgroup used by samba in /etc/samba/smb.conf, then reload or restart samba [15:11] JustMozzy: well, since this is a general Ubuntu support channel and you're asking specific questions about postfix, a big'n'complex piece of software, you might want to try the postfix mailing lists or forums (if they have them) [15:11] ActionParsnip, 2.6.31-16-generic (netbook remix) [15:11] JustMozzy: How about other SMTP servers? Gmail has five, use 'dig gmail.com mx' [15:12] (my addition, not in the uname) [15:12] heh [15:12] phoenixzorn: cool, this may help: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318375 [15:12] lstarnes: How might one go about doing that lol? When this is done will it but my "linux pc" into the works net folder or is that now how its done? [15:12] JustMozzy: Also test your ISP's, your (school|workplace)'s, Yahoo's, other SMTP servers. [15:12] ActionParsnip, wifi just dropped again for no reason on the netbook... [15:12] LewisDre4m: I don't know [15:12] LewisDre4m: probably [15:12] JustMozzy: but in this case I'd be having a stern look at my firewall in case it's eating part of the TCP conversation (ping being not-TCP) [15:12] lstarnes: Do you not have a network set up? [15:13] LewisDre4m: it only has two systems on it [15:13] phoenixzorn: ok cool run: dmesg | tail [15:13] plus a third if you cound the router [15:13] *count [15:13] Well for the purpose of this so does mine as all are turned off apart from one machine. So do you have two folders? One called WORKSGROUP and one called "thenameofyournetwork"? [15:13] lstarnes: Well for the purpose of this so does mine as all are turned off apart from one machine. So do you have two folders? One called WORKSGROUP and one called "thenameofyournetwork"? [15:14] achadwick: I don't have a firewall installed actually... I tried to telnet my localhost and send from there but the same thing happens. isn't there some simple piece of software that just directly sends from the localhost rather than going through gmail? [15:14] LewisDre4m: I don't have any such "WORKSGROUP" folder [15:14] LewisDre4m: those are the 'workgroups' they are not folders.. [15:14] ActionParsnip, one sec... trying to get pastebin to load so I can... damn... dropped it again. === sandeep is now known as Guest69164 [15:14] unless I am missunderstanding the whole thing [15:14] LewisDre4m: thats jkust how ms is showing them' [15:14] Dr_Willis: ok thank you. [15:14] LewisDre4m: set the workgroup the same on all pc's [15:14] anyone know of an 100mb linux that has wireless drivers? [15:14] !samba [15:14] 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. [15:14] ActionParsnip, just keeps saying authentication with AP timed out. [15:14] JustMozzy: You are sending a message to Gmail. Your computer _must_ contact Gmail's servers to deliver that message. [15:14] hello. im having problems installing XP on my dual boot ubuntu due to a boot error. How can i scan my hard drive for errors and fix them in ubuntu. Cheers [15:15] arubaguy: puppylinux, or tinycorelinux. (ya need to install the rireless on tcl however) [15:15] lstarnes: I wonder why I have a WORKSGROUP with this linux computer in. [15:15] phoenixzorn: you should also look in /etc/modprobe.d/ for a file name blacklist-ath5k or somesuch, make sure you are blacklisting ath_pci and ath_hal but NOT ath5k [15:15] grawity: makes sense lol [15:15] LewisDre4m: thats the default workgroup for the linux box. [15:15] which is silly, since the authentication NEVER times out on any other machine that's ever been on my network, including the same netbook running windows [15:15] Dr_Willis: What do you mean? I can't change my "WORKSNET" net work name. [15:15] LewisDre4m: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [15:15] LewisDre4m: samba [15:15] JustMozzy: So, can you connect to _any_ SMTP server? [15:15] eclipse-pydev is not in karmic anymore ! Any workaround ? [15:15] LewisDre4m: change the workgroups on whate ver machines you want to be the same. [15:15] iceroot: Read up We have been on Samba for about 20 mins. [15:15] LewisDre4m: also the default workgroup for an awful lot of SMB-speaking kit out there. Windows too IIRC. [15:15] JustMozzy: Some ISPs block outgoing SMTP connections. [15:16] LewisDre4m: then post complete questions [15:16] hi I installed ubuntu 9.10 on my note 2 days ago. I continuosly have one core of the cpu running at 100% even when everything is closed. It says: udevd --daemon 100% cpu [15:16] LewisDre4m: change the linxu box.. or the other box.. it dosent matter. [15:16] iceroot: shh [15:16] Dr_Willis: but on puppy i dont have to install it - its fresh to go on a usb stick? [15:16] JustMozzy: Btw, is it a server or a personal computer? [15:16] arubaguy: it can run from cd/usb yes. [15:16] LewisDre4m: i dont scroll the whole channel sto see if you have ask a full question === syl is now known as Guest55964 [15:16] iceroot: shhh [15:16] grawity: a personal computer. as I said I just need it for testing purposed. I tried using my gmail smtp but I get errors from openssl [15:16] arubaguy: so can 'TinyCoreLinux' and TCL will be like 10mb for the iso then another 20mb for the wirless drivers [15:16] Dr_Willis: I would like to change this box. (Ubuntu) machine. so it goes with the "WORKSNET" thing. if that makes any sence? [15:16] Dr_Willis: i know it can probably run from usb, but does it have wireless drivers? === Yellow_Snow_Fox is now known as dvz- [15:17] LewisDre4m: the go edit the samba smb.cfg file like i mentioned earlier [15:17] surf: could you run "tail -f /var/log/syslog" in a terminal and pastebin the last bit of output for us?

[15:17] im running 9.10 btw [15:17] hello. im having problems installing XP on my dual boot ubuntu due to a boot error. How can i scan my hard drive for errors and fix them in ubuntu. Cheers [15:17] the option is greyed out and the forums havent helped [15:17] grawity: ok thank you, i'm very new to this so confused. Let me go through and find the CFG file. [15:17] gui7: you can set gdm to auto login as a specific user [15:17] Dr_Willis, how? [15:18] LewisDre4m: you may want to read up on samba also [15:18] gui7: its a setting right there in the 'login manager' tool [15:18] LewisDre4m: Eh, it's smb.conf actually, sorry. It is in /etc/samba/ [15:18] I have done. I don;'t want to read anything. I just want this to work and never touch the bloody thing again. [15:18] ActionParsnip, it says - in the blacklist-ath_pci.conf - that "For some atheros 5k RF MACs, the madwifi driver loads but fails to correctly initialize the hardware, leaving it in a state from which ath5k cannot recover. To prevent this condition, stop madwifi from loading by default. use Jockey to select one driver or the other.

[15:18] what type of file do i make in order for a set of commands to run? [15:18] grawity: let me have a look [15:19] LewisDre4m: setting the workgroup is like one of the first lines of the config file. and you may need to restart samba service after changeing it [15:19] Bear10: an executable text file. Use gedit, gvim, or any other text editor. [15:19] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d16e42ec6 === timc is now known as Guest97182 [15:19] ActionParsnip, how do I stop madwifi from running by default?

Nothing abut udev in there. [15:20] Dr_Willis: There is about 7500 lines of writting in there what exactly am I looking for? [15:20] achadwick, ok so? The udevd --daemon is 100% cpu [15:20] * om26er wonders which version of ubuntu phoenixzorn is using [15:20] LewisDre4m: setting the workgroup is like one of the first lines of the config file. and you may need to restart samba service after changeing it [15:20] Dr_Willis, do you mean the "login screen" or the "users settings"? [15:20] LewisDre4m: search for the words 'workgroup' perhaps [15:20] Dr_Willis: Hey i have a question, I got the boot screen for grub to work but how can I make it last longer?

[15:21] Dr_Willis: "dude" With all the respect in the world I have no idea what on earth you are talking about and what a "setting" in a line of code looks like.

Anytime I change my monitor resolution, my internet drops away (daemon dies?). Any ideas? [15:23] surf: alternatively, paste the PID that's at the top of, er, "top" [15:23] Dr_Willis: I'm still waiting on your instruction of what to change and what to change it to? [15:23] Dr_Willis: where is it in there? [15:23] LewisDre4m: and restart ehs samba service [15:24] LewisDre4m: cahnge it to whatever workgroup you want. [15:24] surf: which'll reliably identify the one that's gone berserk [15:24] so . . . Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of [15:24] workgroup = WORKSNET ????? [15:24] hi. I can't hibernate on karmic unr. Is this a known issue? I can suspend alright, but not hibernate [15:24] LewisDre4m: ...yes. [15:24] LewisDre4m: is that the name of the workgroup? if so change it.. [15:24] achadwick, the PID is 491 [15:24] grawity: Thank you straight forward answer I like ;D [15:24] Dr_Willis: where is it in there? [15:25] Dr_Willis: Doing it now [15:25] There is a problem, login screen hangs in jaunty, it happens only after we install ldap module (we are in college), it resolves on restarting gdm, any solutions to it [15:25] LewisDre4m: Also, you'll need to restart the samba daemon, and logout/login again. [15:25] vonadhz: read the comments and the grub2 wiki page.. [15:25] anyone know what the difference between a "desktop user" and "unprivileged" is? [15:25] rods: (WAG) not enoug memory? [15:25] Dr_Willis: okay [15:25] Dr_Willis: It is only letting me SAVEAS I obviously dont have rights . . . how do I bypass this? [15:25] achadwick, I have strace -p 491 running [15:25] surf: then "sudo strace -p 491" in a terminal, minus quotes. The udevd in question might well be spitting out system calls which identify files that aren't there, permissions issues or other oddities [15:25] GRUB_TIMEOUT="10" [15:25] surf: ah - you're ahead of me [15:25] LewisDre4m: for editing system files.. you need to do so as root. [15:26] Dr_Willis: how? [15:26] !sudo | LewisDre4m [15:26] LewisDre4m: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:26] achadwick, there's a flood of infos... [15:26] Dr_Willis: where on the wiki page? [15:26] MarderIII shouldn't be a problem--6 GB RAM, more than enough swap memory as needed [15:26] surf: Ctrl-C it, and pastebin the bit that's spinning [15:26] hello everybody [15:26] rods: sometimes processes get killed by linux if not enough memory [15:26] vonadhz: no idea. its a wiki page - it can change daily. it says 'GRUB_TIMEOUT=10' here.. such a confuseing name. :_) [15:26] MarderIII anyway to force it to continue? [15:26] DR_willist what is it I type to get into that file is it GKGET? or something? [15:26] * that's repeating [15:26] achadwick, yeah I'm doing it [15:26] !hello | georkor [15:26] georkor: 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! [15:27] rods: in that case... not a clue. What does the log show? [15:27] grawity: do you know how to get me into that file as root? I don't think dr_wilis knows? [15:27] LewisDre4m: sudo vi /path/to/fileto/edit/as/root [15:27] MarderIII: how do I check the log? (still a newb--sorry :-/) [15:27] I type that into terminal? [15:27] LewisDre4m: alt+f2 then gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [15:27] LewisDre4m: You should really read a few of theese linux tutorials that are out there. theres dozens of ways to edit a fuile as root. [15:27] lstarnes: LEgend thats what i'm after! [15:27] LewisDre4m: vi is a rather tricky editior for new users [15:27] achadwick, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m214ec877 kinda mad [15:28] LewisDre4m: You know the editor's name. Dr_Willis pointed you at the command needed to run it as root. [15:28] LewisDre4m: So... [15:28] rods: (top of my head) /var/log/syslog file, check it with an editor /viewer [15:28] MarderIII will do [15:29] grawity: I'm just copying lstarness command thing to get me in there [15:29] rods: check messages file to [15:29] LewisDre4m: Someday you will need to do things yourself. [15:29] rods: to -> too [15:29] it pays to 'learn what you are doing' not just 'do whatever someone says' [15:29] hi anyone can teach me how to search a word in a list of text file ? [15:29] I am? All I asked is how the truck I run a file as root? [15:29] thank you [15:30] ubuntunewbie: 'grep' [15:30] ubuntunewbie: use the grep command. [15:30] ubuntunewbie: grep is what you need [15:30] ubuntunewbie, ctrl+f [15:30] !info grep [15:30] grep (source: grep): GNU grep, egrep and fgrep. In component main, is required. Version 2.5.4-4 (karmic), package size 218 kB, installed size 1164 kB [15:30] LewisDre4m: And Dr_Willis told you, 'sudo' and 'gksu'. [15:30] grep ? ok let me google [15:30] LewisDre4m: it still helps to learn exactly what each component of a command does [15:30] ubuntunewbie: grep word file [15:30] MarderIII segfault? [15:30] !info color-grep [15:30] Package color-grep does not exist in karmic [15:30] ohh] [15:30] Hmm... [15:30] MarderIII I see some segfault errors [15:30] surf: ugh, unreadable. Um, perhaps the output of "udevadm monitor" would be better... [15:30] My grep is in color. :) [15:30] Dr_Willis: GNU grep already has colours [15:31] rods: eeep.. means either faulty program or incorrect library [15:31] I agree and maybe once I can actually do basic fudging things like see a computer on a network i'll sit down and learn, however at the moment i'm still 50 / 50 whether I should go back to windows. [15:31] grawity: now thats progress! [15:31] achadwick, lol [15:31] * achadwick really shouldv'e remembered that. [15:31] right I have put in the thing gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf and changed WORKSGROUP to WORKSNET [15:31] MarderIII know any good tricks to fix? This has been an issue for awhile (internet drops out in screen resolution change) [15:31] i think i may have solved my problem: http://www.danellis.co.uk/drupal/node/7 [15:31] Then you mentioned about restarting SAMBA, How do I do that? [15:32] LewisDre4m: open a terminal first [15:32] ok [15:32] LewisDre4m: Run the command "/etc/init.d/samba restart" as root [using sudo]. [15:32] LewisDre4m: sudo service samba restart [15:32] achadwick, ah can't understand it: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m37a2a3e [15:32] Hi all, I have a issue with an Asus 1005HA [15:32] dont get into the init.d/XXX habbit. use the service command [15:32] hi, can anyone help me with a Live distribution question? [15:32] After I wake up the laptop from sleep, the wired network card is missing, even from lspci [15:32] rods: could be there are some missing libraries, but i don't know how you can check that easily. [15:32] actually samba MIGHT restart when it says its config changed.. i forget if it does or not [15:32] Dr_Willis: I typed suda service samba restart anything happend. [15:32] The wired card is Attansic L1 Gigabit, pciid 1969:1062 [15:32] i would like to generate a live distribution with custom kernels, is it possible? [15:33] hello all.. [15:33] (custom drivers, sorry) [15:33] LewisDre4m: 'sudo', not 'suda'. [15:33] I am in desperate need of help... [15:33] !hello | dondino_ [15:33] dondino_: 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!

[15:33] surf: or use "udevadm monitor --property" for more info about what hardware's triggering the events [15:33] achadwick, before when I did ctrl-z to strace -p 491 did I kill the process or only the strace? Because now in top the process has disappeared [15:33] yes, please hold on.. as I write everything [15:33] rods: only way i know is to check it manually with ld. Question : which program segfaults? [15:33] surf: ctrl-z backgrounds. Use ctrl-c ideally. [15:34] btw while on subject where is a good page to learn what sudo and gkget all that crap means? [15:34] surf: but either one will onyl affect strace. === force is now known as ckozler [15:34] !sudo | LewisDre4m [15:34] is there a wiki page with the commands so I know what they all mean [15:34] LewisDre4m: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:34] achadwick, yeah sorry it was ctrl-c. Ok. But now the daemon is not present in top. The cpu is normally going 1/2% [15:35] MarderIII I get the following: npviewer.bin[3883]: segfault at ff999ed8 ip 00000000ff999ed8 sp 00000000ff85b24c error 14 [15:35] ok cool, [15:35] not sure where to check on that [15:35] achadwick, also yesterday, to say the truth, I had /usr/bin/x running 100% cpu [15:35] does anyone know how to install kernel drivers inside a Live distribution (in casper kernel) [15:35] Anyway . . . So It said it stopped the service and then Restarted the service. And now? [15:35] Is that finished? [15:35] achadwick, I restarted it and it worked... but why? [15:35] LewisDre4m: should be.. [15:35] sorry , I still dont know how to use "grep" searching words [15:35] LewisDre4m: windows can sometimes be stupid and not see the workgroup changes for some time [15:35] ubuntunewbie: check man pages. man grep. [15:36] ubuntunewbie: grep pattern file [15:36] ubuntunewbie: grep "text to find" file-to-search [15:36] surf: the x thing might be itself triggered by a berserk udev. But not sure there. [15:36] I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 for the first time today. I played with it some time.. then I said.. its not the one I want. Some people suggested me to pass to Kubuntu, and see if KDE fits better for me.. and they made me issue a command from the console : "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop". I issued that command from the 9.10 consolle, and it started to download packages, and then install..all in console. At one point it stopped [15:36] ubuntunewbie: or to search a directory, grep -nHR "words to search for" directory_name [15:36] dondino_: ok; and the question is? [15:36] lstarnes : ? grep "text to find" "location" ? I though it can seach all text file on a location folder [15:36] dondino_: when it gets done.. on the LIOGIN screen theres a menu to select KDE [15:36] the question is.. why this kubuntu is not working? it opens only the terminal window [15:37] where are the menus? the taskbar? etc? [15:37] thanks trism , tying now [15:37] Dr_Willis: Ok, I still have two "What I was calling Folders" In NETWORKS / ONE CALLED WORKSGROUP and ONE CALL WORKSNET. But now my computer isn't in WORKSGROUP . . but it isnt in worksnet either lol is that wrong>? or ok? [15:37] rods: never heard of it. I think that program _voilently_ objects to screen changes :-) I would look into it if it can be uninstalled, or otherwise start ubuntu in the correct screen size [15:37] Does anyone know how to configure gopenvpn? [15:37] udev responds to changes in hardware configuration, and is supposed to be quiet almost all of the time. By I've seen samba trigger spurious events in it in the past... [15:37] ubuntunewbie: grep Hi *.* [15:37] ubuntunewbie: bash basics.. learn to use wildcards... grep patterh /path/* [15:37] achadwick, ah how can I monitor these things? My cpu is claiming for peace! =D [15:37] I want a help. [15:37] surf: *But. and yes, it was intermittent (-> annoying to fix, never happening when you want to fix it) [15:37] nostram^: That won't match files without extensions. [15:38] LewisDre4m: Did you logout and login, as I've told you to? [15:38] LewisDre4m: windowes can get confused when new machines appar on the network. it may take it a few min to show up. Hit F5 a few times or tell it to brows all the machines/workgroups [15:38] yep, lame answer, sorry :-/ [15:38] achadwick, haha lol yeah it is. I'll leave htop opened to see what happens [15:38] Dr_Willis: You must have misunderstood, when I say what I did I mean thats what I see on my ubuntu machine. I havent even looked on it xp machine yet. [15:38] surf: you could install a cpu usage grapher in your panel :/ [15:38] surf: or keep a top running. Good luck. [15:39] achadwick, I have the monitor manager [15:39] albertxiaoyu: OpenVPN has many configuration options. How you configure it will depend on what your requirements are. Have you been to: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html [15:39] achadwick, thx for the moment. [15:39] LewisDre4m: check with the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' to see what machines are on the network now. [15:39] LewisDre4m: i rareluy cahnge workgroups. so not sure what else is needed to make them refresh [15:39] Dr_Willis: Should I see "LEWISDRE4m" computer inside the WORKSNET folder inside NETWORKS? ON UBUNTU! ignore xp atm. [15:39] Hi, I am looking for easy distro to install on a Asus Eee PC 4G === jnykiel is now known as Guest94139 [15:39] That is with Intel Mobile processor [15:40] I am an advanced user myself, but the PC will be for not so techy person. [15:40] LewisDre4m: you should see the local machines shares - on the local machine yes.. it might not bother to show the workgroup name. === cp is now known as Guest85839 [15:40] Now, Ubuntu Netbook Remix tells it is for the Atom processor EeePc's [15:40] So? [15:40] Lartza_: yes - most netbook remix's are for atom cpus [15:40] Lartza_: if you're an advanced user it should be no problem to do your research on distros [15:41] Lartza_: most normal disrtos work fine on them also [15:41] Hmm. Is that still true? ISTR netbook-remix stuff was only CPU-specific very early on [15:41] ikonia: We'll, most of the distros are for Atom's like Willis said or they are outdated. [15:41] But I may well be wrong here. [15:41] anyone knows how to install drivers in a Live ubuntu kernel? [15:41] Dr_Willis: You are not understanding my question at all. hmmm Ok, On Ubuntu machine I navigate to NETWORKS / WINDOWS NETWORKS / AND THEN I HAVE "WORKSGROUP" and "WORKSNET" Neither of which currently have my UBUNTU MACHINE LEWISDRe4m showing in either, does that matter? [15:41] Lartza_: so as an advanved user it should be easy ro do research [15:42] Netbook Remix should run on this too, but how well? [15:42] nostram^: they are normally modules that you drop into the kernel's modules directory [15:42] LewisDre4m: i would think you sould see the pc there somewhere.. You do actually have some 'shares' setup? see if the xp box now sees them [15:43] LewisDre4m: i imagine if you loggedout/rebooted the 'workgroup' would vanish and just show worksnet [15:43] not exactly, ikonia, as live distributions are "prepared" and does not seem to be configurable so easily [15:43] nostram^: ahhh this is for a livecd [15:43] nostram^: depends on what you are isntalling. Ive instaleld things on a live cd. it uses the ramdisk [15:43] it's a pendrive live, indeed [15:43] Dr_wilis you still dont understand what im asking rofl I must be not making sense. Dude I can see my WINDOWS XP MACHINE inside the "WORKSNET thing" What Im saying is should I not be able to see a little icon of THIS COMPUTER im using now inside one of those? [15:43] nostram^: ok - then you'll need to uncompress the sqaushfs file systems, add the mofules and recompress [15:43] yeah, but i want to install nvidia custom driver and a couple of drivers more [15:44] hello, can someone take a look at this http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot-1.1261496316.png and tell me why the alt+f2 pop-up screen shows the brasero image in stead of the nautilus one? [15:44] LewisDre4m: just reboot the thing and see if it shows up then. and YOU do actually have a share enabled to be appearing in the list? [15:44] right im rebooting brb [15:44] sorry man I know Im a pain in the rectum. [15:44] is there any way to boot from the Live pendrive and save eveything up? [15:44] nostram^: no [15:44] i mean, install the drivers in the ramdisk [15:44] nostram^, casper-rw file :) [15:44] nostram^: You can make a save file on the pendrive. and save changes [15:44] nostram^: you need to uncompress - add - recompress [15:45] casper-rw file just saves settings and stuff like that [15:45] not kernel options [15:45] You can edit the boot menu on the pendrive nostram^ [15:45] and change options [15:45] ikonia, i've tried to do that, but kernel does not seem to load that drivers [15:45] bbl [15:46] hola [15:46] nostram^: it should do, try putting the modules in on the livecd and doing a modprobe [15:46] you mean setting a modprobe inside /etc/rc.local? [15:46] @majecki-new [15:47] so it will load at every boot-up? [15:47] I wanted to dual boot ubuntu and mandriva but grub2 would not boot my mandriva partition any advice I would be grateful full. [15:47] nostram^:, no I mean type modprobe to test the module will load [15:48] aha [15:48] i did not tried that [15:48] hi everyone [15:48] hi insane [15:48] and there's no need to rebuild the modules tree? [15:48] achadwick, hi again. I had a kernel panic. I had to reboot. [15:49] i'll check somethin' i wanna extract instrumental from a song; how can i do this ? [15:49] Can someone help me configure GRUB to boot off an ISO image? [15:49] sandman: GRUB can't do that. GRUB2 can. Are you using GRUB2? [15:49] Yes [15:50] insane: you can't do that you need multi-tracked audio format files for that [15:50] @majecki-new [15:50] back to work on the android kernel... yay [15:50] from mp3 files i can't do that ? [15:50] sandman: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB [15:50] insane: no, that's compressed audio [15:50] so how can i do [15:50] ? [15:51] insane: I've just told you - you need the multi-track audio files to disable the vocal tracks [15:51] i'm back [15:51] someone told me how to do samba printing by editing the cups.conf file, but I have since forgotten. Does anyone know how to do that? [15:51] sorry ok [15:51] so now If I am to go right click on a folder inside my HOME folder, technically it should show on windows machine? [15:52] hi, could you please help me to disable sleep action on led close [15:52] Dr_Wilis I mean right click on a folder and share it i should see it from windows machine? [15:52] I thought I've disabled it by switching of led action in /etc/acpi and replacing led.sh script, but it is still working. Ughr! [15:52] gdiz open browser > localhost:631 [15:52] lstarnes: they have both gone! [15:53] some programs can do that ? [15:53] lstarnes: If I go right click on a folder and share it I should see it show up on windows machine? [15:53] MarderIII: you still here? [15:53] insane: some programs do what ? [15:53] LewisDre4m: I'm not sure. I don't use windows-like sharing very often [15:53] Mmarc__1: it can be set simply in gui. [15:53] MarderIII I have a pastebin for the issue as it showed up in the logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/344785/ [15:53] ... to get multi-track audio files [15:53] OerHeks, yeah I changed all the settings on the CUPS administration page, but I still can't access the printer for samba printing [15:53] ok well i'll go see. [15:53] insane: no [15:53] :( [15:54] Anyway my Ubuntu machine icon is now not in "worksgroup" but not in WORKSNET either lol [15:54] so who knows .. . I will go see if it worked anyway [15:54] ops, lid, not led [15:54] I'm trying to switch off sleeping action when lid closes [15:56] any good video editor? [15:56] like windows media player? [15:57] wmp is not an editor [15:57] friendishan, does windows media player edit videos [15:57] omg! [15:57] om26er idk [15:57] friendishan, so why ask? [15:57] friendishan, do you want to play videos or edit? [15:57] how to change root's password ? [15:58] i want to double the speed of frames and add an image in the middle of the video (image stays for 5 seonds) [15:58] If it is an editor, it would say Windows Media Editor. [15:58] I have just installed ubuntu, want to change the root's password [15:58] Pip: use sudo to do root functions [15:58] !sudo | Pip [15:58] Pip: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:58] i have another issue sound comes frome speakers and headphones at the same time [15:58] surf i want to double the speed of frames of the video and add an image in the middle of the video (image stays for 5 seonds) [15:58] Pip, administration>>users and groups [15:58] i can't fix it !

This option was implemented on all distros I've seen: I don't want to do ANYTHING, then netbook lid closes. How to do that in ubuntu? Manual editing /etc/acpi does not help. [15:59] friendishan, so you need to edit it. Let's see... I used Kino and cinelerra to edit videos [15:59] I have a nfs-common error -- what do I do? [16:00] do they allow to add a image in between the video? [16:00] please help ! [16:00] Power management preferences also has no such option. [16:00] !help | insane [16:00] toddl: what is the error? [16:00] insane: 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. :-) [16:00] om26er he already asked [16:00] friendishan, so. [16:00] when I add/remove programs or update I get a nfs-common error [16:00] Howdy all! My nm-applet keeps disapears (and disconnecting--probably closing) anytime I resize my display. Any idea what could be causing this? [16:01] !investigate > om26er [16:01] om26er, please see my private message [16:01] how do I add a ppa (ie. ppa:gnome-zeitgeist/ppa) to my sources via terminal?

[16:02] i want to double the speed of frames of the video and add an image in the middle of the video (image stays for 5 seonds) [16:02] thanks om26er kinja-sheep [16:03] WinterWeaver, np :) [16:03] toddl: do you have extra PPAs assigned besides the stock ubuntu ones? [16:03] friendishan, if you're used to wm maker then try KdenLive which is similar (when you run that disable compiz) [16:04] om26er, kinja-sheep, it added the ppa etc. just too bad I'm getting a 404 on it :( ... wonder why [16:04] surf ok but how do i disable compiz?

[16:05] friendishan: its "appearance" not "look" [16:05] surf it was already none :P [16:05] kinja-sheep, hmm... ok I guess I'll just have to download it manually to play with zeitgeist === force is now known as esx [16:05] thx anyway [16:05] maco ok [16:05] friendishan, ok so compiz should be off. Try the program though [16:06] Yesterday, I installed Xfce with some fancy terminal stuff. Now Ubuntu says I'm running Xubuntu and I don't like Xfce that much so I would like to remove Xfce from my Ubuntu install so it uses GNOME as default GUI again.

Be flexible, Ubuntu, and keep free from stupid assumptions, or you will soon become Windows. [16:08] om26er [16:08] Thanks for the link [16:08] Will try that remove command [16:08] toddl: it can't install because your passwd file is locked. Unless you want to try and investigate, rebooting should clear it up. [16:08] mmarc__1: what is wrong with "blank screen"? [16:08] AlienDK: synaptics isn't a qt app so i don't get what you mean [16:08] mmarc__1: you cant see the screen when it's closed anyway [16:09] mmarc_1: you can set it to "do nothing on lid close" [16:09] maco +1 [16:09] heh [16:09] AlienDK: sorry message mistake [16:09] I will look into the passwd file. Is that something to do with the password? [16:09] todd1: historically, yes [16:09] anyone know how to get it to not prompt me for the install CD when installing certain apps? I want it to just go out to the repos [16:09] np :P [16:09] maco: that is what I call "wrong assumptions". I plugged external monitor, and I don't want to do anything when lid closes.

[16:10] mmarc__1: System --> Preferences --> Power Management. [16:10] mmarc__1: then i'd say the correct action to do in that case would be to *still* blank the internal screen, but not the external one. [16:10] I've rebooted many times -- and continue to get this message -- although the update does take effect, I still get the error? [16:11] maco: ty!

When lid is closed, screen turns off itself - it's a hardware feature. [16:12] dKingston, describe the problem? [16:13] it returned "python 1952 Todd gu REG" and other stuff... do you want it all?

[16:28] I have a passwd.lock and a passwd- and a passwd+ (the first two have "x" on them) [16:28] I also have a shadow.lock file too [16:29] toddl: if you do have the files that rob mentioned, I suggest trying to remove them all. any passwd.lock, passwd-, passwd+, or shadown.lock files shouldn't be there [16:29] todd1: You need to remove those files. They are left behind from some process that crashed. [16:29] remove is to "move to trash" from the file viewer -- or is there a better way? [16:30] My computer is slow due to a lot of the processor being in the "wa" state according to top. I know that this is time waiting on the hard drive. Is there any way to speed this up. It makes opening even the smallest apps really slow. This didn't happen when I had windows on this computer. [16:30] todd1: Only remove the ones with the .lock extension. [16:31] so, is there a way to install ubuntu from an existing ubuntu installation?

Maybe there is a different way. [16:39] hyppy: Looks like firefox was the problem. You don't happen to know why firefox would be reading around 1000kb/sec consistently would you? [16:39] here's my problem: my computer can't run a live CD from linux; the CD drive isn't supported properly. so when I try to use a live CD, it segmentation faults [16:39] bwallen: could have been heavy enough on memory to be swapping. Running a lot of tabs or flash video? [16:40] Jarhyn: USB Method, perhaps? [16:40] Jarhyn: you may be able to do a live USB pen drive [16:40] hyppy: tabs, yes [16:40] tried that; the bios doesn't support THAT properly; [16:41] bwallen: firefox can get bogged down when there are a massive amount of tabs and its been running for a while. 3.5 is better than 3.0, if you don't have it yet. Otherwise, I suggest closing and reopening it at least daily [16:41] Jarhyn: what about fixing the computer and then coming back round to installing an OS? [16:41] as i get video dowload faster [16:41] kevin_: that question does not make sense [16:41] hello all [16:41] hyppy: ok, thanks for the suggestion!

[16:42] because I had to install it on an external hard drive with WUBI [16:42] Anyone know how can I make brasero not use /tmp as the temporary burn location? [16:42] and need to figure out how to get it on the internal partition that I wanted to put it on in the first place === sarah is now known as Guest249 [16:42] Jarhyn: you could just 'clone' your drives then [16:42] will microsoft office 2003 work with wine?? [16:43] I have a problem with my laptop. At some point all commands stop working normally and I get an error like "input/output error" [16:43] I am using ubuntu 9.10 [16:43] shashike: theres a software compatibility list on the internets somewhere [16:44] Jarhyn: try clonezilla maybe? might still have the same problem getting clonezilla to boot, but if you beat that it'll move the volumes around for you [16:44] mka: does the keyboard die? [16:44] Anyone know how can I make brasero not use /tmp as the temporary burn location? [16:44] no [16:44] I can type something [16:44] mka: commands like command line? [16:44] aeon-ltd, I can type some commands but they respond with an error [16:44] i tried searching for it but, no forum says that [16:45] but i thought this was tech chat, so u guys will know if it works or not, [16:45] aeon-ltd, eg "sudo fdisk -l" would give me an error about using "sudo" [16:45] mka: your hard drive may be full or have errors? [16:45] mooseburger: From the looks of it, it is not possible as the developers didn't include any paramteres for temporary burn location. What is wrong with /tmp? That is where temporary files goes to.

[16:50] i think office 2003 is better than open office, [16:50] mooseburger: so where were you thinking of making brasero put it's temporary files? [16:50] its just my openion [16:50] Hyppy, df -h works as always but du doesnt work all the time. FYI, my system works for now and will probably not work in few minutes to come [16:52] islarne [16:52] mka: I suggest trying all the hard drive tests from this: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ [16:52] Slart, wanted to use my /home/user, but I don't want to fork over space for /tmp permanently.

[16:56] Slart, I don't use windows [16:56] not really an ubuntu question but ... [16:56] ok i have succeded, ty [16:56] Pip: then what was wrong with the link ubottu sent you? [16:57] how can i enter the server serv.endoftheinternet.org [16:57] ? im new to this [16:57] Slart, it's about windows OS [16:58] serv.endoftheinternet.org [16:58] Pip: ehm.. nope, it isn't... but I'm not goign to argue with you.. good luck [16:58] ditto: What kind of server is it?

[17:14] shuttle [17:14] evince has failed for me, onlx xpdf is flawless - but flawless ness seems inverse proportional to feature-count [17:15] ManDay: because most people think its bloated [17:15] Where can I find the Sans font. I've already checked /usr/share/fonts, ~/.fonts etc. (Not liberation sans, free snas, etc) [17:15] aeon-ltd: 153MB seem to support that assertion [17:15] ManDay: evince has a nasty habit of crashing on me every now and then.. =/ [17:15] xover, i think chrome makes use of its own internal flash player (or the one you get with nonfree-flashplugin) [17:15] ben when you create a bg process without using nohup, it is killed when closing the terminal. [17:15] ManDay: whos wants to use stuff from people who refuse to fix known security-issues? [17:15] xover: I agree with slart. I've got the same number of add-ons too and 4 second startup. [17:15] airtonix: No it uses the same flashplayer as firefox [17:15] xover, it still shows in process list though :S [17:15] xover: unless you run it using & and close the terminal using "exit" [17:15] not me, ill stick with xpdf or hope that evnice guys fix evnice [17:16] where can i file a bug for evince? [17:16] Ben^: use fg [17:16] xover: clicking the "close button" doesn't work.. you have to type "exit" [17:16] ChaoticXSinZ, i wasn't exactly sure since i see this "exe" process as a child of chrome whenever a page with flash loads [17:16] fg only works if I was still in the same terminal session rob_p [17:16] airtonix: at least all this flash crap for linux will phase out it a few years when html5 kicks in [17:16] airtonix: It's because of the way chrome sandboxes processes for security etc [17:16] Ben^: should be able to list jobs and then reattach [17:17] xover, i'm using a chrome extension called adthwarte to do what i had adblockplus for . [17:17] rob_p, jobs -l right? lists nothin [17:17] Ben: so its gone right? [17:17] Google doesn't like people blocking ads. They specifically try and hinder that functionality in Chrome. [17:17] well its still eating cpu [17:17] and it shows in top and if I do a ps [17:18] xover, ChaoticXSinZ, aeon-ltd : my only gripe with chrome is that triple clicking a word on a page selects whitepsace after the sentence.... a word on its own hardly ever gets highlighted without the whitespace. [17:19] airtonix: Really? I never use that :P Just select what I want the old fashioned way [17:20] Slart: I makes no difference if you ctrl-d, exit or close xterm [17:20] So anyone know why GIMP lists the font 'Sans' yet I can't seem to find it on my compter? [17:20] ChaoticXSinZ, yep try it : triple click a sentence... it won't select just the sentence [17:20] does anyone know how to restore encrypted files? [17:21] if I have encrypted folder mounted and rsync the info should be sent over correct?? How do I mount it? [17:21] kill supports process completion = awesome. [17:21] xover: sure it does.. I just started aplay in a terminal.. then closed with "exit".. it's still running [17:22] xover: or rather.. I have no idea if works the same in xterm.. but in the gnome-terminal it works [17:22] anybody knows how to get shuttle sb81p working with nvidia 9600gt? [17:22] if you started aplay in the fg, then how were you able to enter a command? [17:22] xover: I run "aplay /dev/urandom &" [17:22] xterm is gnome-terminal [17:23] xover: not in the fg.. but I never said that [17:23] xover wrong, xterm and gnome terminal are different apps [17:23] I know this is the wrong place to ask, Anyone know how to download a torrent file on a Mac ? [17:23] xover: wrong, xterm and gnome terminal are different apps [17:24] Tk_L: is this for piracy? hint hint never mention online [17:24] Tk_L: install transmission, works the same as transmission for ubuntu [17:24] Tk_L: as on every OS. click on it. save as. [17:24] no is for my personal knowledge [17:24] Tk_L: the torrent file itself is probably just downloaded using a regular browser.. safari ought to work.. then you open that file with the torrent client.. for further help you might want to find a mac channel [17:24] Tk_L: get the program transmission and open the .torrent file with that program. [17:25] /part [17:25] Tk_L: http://www.transmissionbt.com/ [17:25] you been helpfull thanks. Is the software free of all Viruses and Spyware ? [17:25] ChaoticXSinZ: hmm.. I've just searched my install.. I don't have a font file for sans.. not sure where it comes from [17:26] slark: seems that you cant kill aplay with a signal 1 [17:26] Tk_L: transmission is; but no guarantee what comes through it:). [17:26] hello... i have installed apache, mysql, and php ... it worked fine... i have a test.php run on my browser, but it cant be viewed from other computer,,, what do you think is the problem? [17:26] dnivra: what do you think it will come with it ? [17:26] xover: I just run "pkill aplay".. I'm not sure what signal is default [17:26] Slart: I know, it's driving me crazy. Is it just some builtin font or is Sans an alias for another font? [17:27] Ben^: Sorry about the delay. If you didn't background the process with terminal mux such as screen, then I don't know that it's possible to, "reattach" as it were. If jobs doesn't list it, you won't be able to fg the job. [17:27] ChaoticXSinZ: an alias is my guess [17:27] guest38953: is apache, php and mysql installed in the other computer you tried to view it from? [17:27] Tk_L: i was referring to what you download using transmission by opening a torrent file:). [17:27] Slart: But the problem here is for what font? [17:27] dnivra: do they need apache php and mysql? === guest38953 is now known as piojun [17:28] ChaoticXSinZ: perhaps it's defined in the theme for gnome? (just a wild guess) [17:28] piojun: when you said view in browser, you meant it as opening it as "localhost/test.php" right? [17:28] Tk_L, torrents have a stereotype of illegal downloads [17:29] <^Spartano^> irc.explosionirc.net [17:29] Slart: As in GTK theme or what? [17:29] piojun: when you said view in other computer, you meant it as opening it as "localhost/test.php" from a browser in that computer right? [17:29] <^Spartano^> irc.explosionirc.net [17:29] I am opening anything in ubuntu and then when i minimize it then it is not minimizing in Panel , it is just disappearing and i have to press alt+tab each time and then open close or switch between opened applications, please help [17:29] ChaoticXSinZ: I have no idea.. as I said.. I'm taking wild stabs in the dark here [17:30] por_ki: Right-click the panel and add "Windows List" [17:30] por_ki: right click on your panel, select Add to panel.. find "Window list" in tha dialog that pops up.. see if it works now [17:30] ElectRo`: is just .. Sterotype : - ) [17:30] piojun, did you use the local ip of the computer running apache [17:30] Slart: I dont know, they all work, so I dont know why it doesnt kill the app on exit, it should do, if you run a script and then exit, its gone! [17:30] Hello :) [17:31] !hello | Vegar_ [17:31] Vegar_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [17:31] Hey I am about to install Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro 5,5 (13 inch unibody). Now I don't want to waste a CD so I decided to go for the img file. Now my question is - which img file do I download? The "Marvell Dove" or the "Freescale i.MX51" ? [17:31] Oh ,. thanks a lot, kinja and slart, I got the thing [17:31] hello [17:31] i am trying to install kubuntu [17:32] but when creating a partition,it does not let me enter less than 72000 MB [17:32] but i want a 15000 MB partition [17:32] ag90: wait, there are two cd images? [17:32] and i really dont want to click the whole way down === reactor_ is now known as reactor [17:32] adalal: No there are 2 USB images [17:33] xover: are you sure that it's supposed to kill off running apps, even those sent to background? afaik it's been like this for a long time [17:33] for ubuntu? [17:33] Yes [17:33] .net [17:34] slark: SIHUP is sent to all processes that you started from that session [17:34] ag90: which webpage is it on? [17:34] http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ [17:34] Under "Desktop image" [17:35] i'm trying to install a .pcf font, but cant get it to show up. I [17:36] hey, I have an e66, want to connect it with ubuntu for browsing the web. using jaunty. any suggestions? [17:36] ag90: download the PC intel x86 image... and use unetbootin to load it into a usb [17:36] I've placed it in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, and rebuilt the font cache [17:36] ag90: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [17:36] adalal: That was my first thought. But UNetbootin works on Windows and Linux only. [17:36] wait [17:36] yea [17:36] true [17:37] xover: I'm browsing through the bash man pages.. there has to be something about this here [17:37] does somebody have done that here before? [17:37] !enter | adalal [17:37] adalal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:38] ag90: try this webpage, it has a guide for mac to install linux to usb ... http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html [17:38] sjd, you mean you want to use your mobile phone as the device by which you gain internet access ? [17:39] adalal: Thanks! [17:39] airtonix: yes. like a modem. to access my gsm netwrok [17:39] sjd, via bluetooth or a cable > [17:39] airtonix: cable [17:40] just dd the image to the usb [17:40] adalal: I already know how to write an img to USB. What I don't know is which image do I download. The Mac instructions on the page require me to have the img already. [17:40] Slart, xover, seems init can adopt processes if their hosting terminal dies [17:40] Ill just leave this link here, in case somone missed it and knows the answer :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349636 [17:40] ag90: the thing is, those are for ARM motherboards, you still have to use the Desktop PC version [17:40] sjd, and plugging it in and fiddling with the network manager does not give you any ideas ? [17:40] ag90: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8164532 [17:40] How do you record from line in? I'm very frustrated with pulseaudio [17:41] hi [17:41] adalal: Oh. OK. Thanks. [17:41] Ben^: I wonder if that's a feature or a bug =) [17:41] When I try to use 9.10 from live cd, my mouse keeps darting back to the upper left corner rendering it useless. Any ideas? [17:41] Slart, not sure. It just happened to me too, however. [17:42] JuJuBee_: have you tried using any other mouse? which mouse do you have? [17:42] airtonix: when I plug it in, I have three options in the phone. 1. data transfer, 2. media, 3. connect to web. when i choose 3, dmesg tells that he found a CD-ROM. lsusb tells me that I have a nokia mobile phone. nothing else [17:42] Ben^: the documentation for bash states that when bash exits it tries to kill it's children.. [17:42] sjd, apparently the e66 was included in a list of 3g modems durnig 2008. [17:42] Ben^: well.. perhaps there's a reason for it... somewhere [17:42] Slart, It may be dependent on how the process manages exceptions - i.e if its host terminal dies, its STDIN/OUT/ERR pointers become invalid, as probably does any open file descriptors. if it can deal with that, it can probably continue executing [17:42] adalal: I have laptop with track pad.. also have usb mouse, both do same... [17:42] sjd, http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1167897.html [17:42] ag90: can you use diskutil on mac with .iso files? [17:42] test [17:43] I'm not sure [17:43] airtonix: oh. that is great. but how do i set it up? should I modprobe it? [17:43] sjd, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/294070 [17:43] Ben^: sounds reasonable.. I'm just wondering if the process ignores the sighup or if bash never sends it [17:43] sjd, nothing specific yet. [17:44] where is the terminal's previously typed text history held? [17:44] sjd, something related : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G [17:44] Slart, your guess is as good as mine! [17:44] ZaNeIuM: ~/.history [17:44] ZaNeIuM: the shell mantains history the terminal does not. [17:44] ZaNeIuM: ~/.bash_history [17:44] Slart, spose if you could reproduce the scenario, you could do an strace on the pid before exiting bash and look at the system calls [17:44] ben, xover: this has some info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1331539 [17:45] I have a question... is there a ubuntu server download that is for 32 bit systems? [17:45] Ben^: it's very reproducable.. I've been reproducing it for a couple of years.. I even thought it was WAI [17:45] grayghost49: yes; the one that says i386 [17:46] thank you [17:46] adalal: any ideas? [17:46] lstarnes: how long does it go back to, from install? [17:46] It seems the font I was looking for is BitStream Vera. [17:46] ZaNeIuM: no [17:46] JuJuBee_: thinkin... [17:47] ZaNeIuM: it stores the last 500 lines [17:47] ZaNeIuM: by default [17:47] Slart, then strace will answer your question. [17:47] ChaoticXSinZ: so it is an alias of some kind.. good to know [17:47] Anyone here know how to get line in working? [17:47] cool for me that goes back to my install, thanks [17:47] Ben^: indeed.. thanks for the help [17:47] ubuntu hangs (early) at boot, when the receiver module of my wireless USB mouse is plugged in, if not it starts without problems. does somebody know this behaviour? [17:47] (talking about ubuntu 9.10) [17:48] <-- isolat3dsh33p [17:48] on asus notebook Z9202KM [17:48] is there a way to make ubuntu only try to automatic update security updates? [17:48] sjd, does this look familar to you ? http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/35206/screenshot_001_KGH2i3.png [17:48] slart, ben: well it appears that both exit and close and allowing init to adopt the process, so not sure why that is happening as if i send a HUP to the process in the background it happily dies. [17:48] ruffyen: in the desktop version there's a setting .. perhaps in system, administration, software sources.. there's an update pane [17:48] k [17:48] thanks [17:49] hahaha the last update claim about all package made 4 Gig !!! :D http://picpaste.com/pics/Capture-6.1261504105.png [17:49] piojunbabia: as long as your nick doesn't change, you should be able to talk [17:49] lstarnes: thanks [17:50] sjd, http://anidel.blogspot.com/2009/10/n900-as-modem-for-ubuntu-910.html [17:50] airtonix: checking!

[17:53] having trouble with printing in color with xubuntu on epson 310, should i start with cups? [17:54] jshriver: why would you use line-in instead of the microphone? [17:54] i have installed apache mysql and php and all working... made a test.php and i can view it on my browser, but it cannot be browsed thru other computer.. like when i went to an internet cafe, (i left my pc on) and i cant open my site, the error message says: "The server at 192.168.1.2 is taking too long to respond."

I have my router near me. wi-fi [17:56] llutz: how do i do portforwarding? [17:56] !portforwarding [17:56] piojunbabia: depends on your router, if using one [17:57] piojunbabia: look at portforwarding.com for info [17:57] What could be the reason that my sound is gone? [17:57] llutz: do i need to contact my internet service provider to do that? === FFEMTcJ is now known as cjohnston [17:57] piojunbabia: no [17:57] piojunbabia: you shouldn't need that, except your ISP filters incoming connects [17:58] IdleOne: thanks [17:58] any idea?

But if you must, the driver download section at amd.com has a guide for the non-repository versions [18:18] i've got a problem installing glx195 drivers from ppa, it returns exit code 2?

[18:19] if i have a command line (ubuntu-server) what do i apt-get to install xorg server? [18:20] !info xorg [18:20] smiter: your card may not be supported. You can still grab the drivers from AMD, but be prepared for complications in the future. I've had nothing but headaches when I've ran them, mostly stemming from updates [18:20] xorg (source: xorg): X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional.

Then I deletd /dev/sda6. Now I think I have to update grub somehow. [18:20] xig: what does skrite put in the <...>? [18:20] when i try to install it it says error dependency is not satisfiable : libgconf2-4 [18:20] is there any reason ubuntu doesn't use the same encryption set up as Fedora? In fedora I can actually get to the grub menu when I do full disk encryption [18:21] LjL the search term?

[18:21] LjL something with xorg or xorg server? why do you ask? [18:21] Where are Expect-examples in Ubuntu? [18:22] LjL he is obviously trying to find the exact name of a package, and apt-cache search helps us finding those [18:22] xig: because "apt-cache search xorg" returns 282 results, and your suggestion reminds of saying "search google". i had already given him the correct package name before you said that. [18:22] actually, i thik i have an idea. [18:22] the exact name is "xorg". [18:22] maco: yeah, they use LVM. I think they just partition it differently [18:22] LjL: so why do you care anyway?

[19:40] douglasawh-work: I can't be sure. If anything, you are likely to need to copy some files over to /boot if it does not work.

[20:02] DEViUS, I can't because my card is not supported any more by ATI.

I'm not sure how this ties in with package management. What are you trying to do?

[20:03] Ubuntu has very nicely setup my dual monitors for me, but I'm not sure what it's actually using for it. How do I find out whether it's using xinerama or something specific to my graphics card/driver (or is it just always xinerama?) ? [20:03] ManDay: right click the file, then properties > open with; or edit mimeapps.list or mimeinfo file in ~/.local/share/applications [20:03] ManDay: I don't think there is a specific package that handles that [20:03] erUSUL: 2.6.28 [20:03] inclement: its probably just X [20:03] thanks [20:03] inclement: the xrandr command can do that [20:03] I just upgraded my winxp to win7 now my ubuntu box cant print over the network to win7 printer can anyone help [20:03] okay changed all that now what? [20:04] Guest68083: once you give the output I can give you a nice big command to sort you out [20:04] gdb: no, I just wondered why the packages are different with the same Name. [20:04] or /usr/bin/less /proc/cpuinfo maybe something wrong with your PATH .. [20:04] ManDay: What is the use case? Do you mean when you click a file in GNOME? [20:04] VCoolio, that doesnt change the default app tho [20:04] gdb: totally misleading. [20:04] heoa: Between expect and expect-dev and apt-get and aptitude? [20:04] yes gdb [20:04] Tha-Doc: I'm going downstairs for few minutes. Will be back. [20:04] gdb: no [20:04] gdb: expect-dev in both [20:04] maco: Thanks!

[20:05] how to set compiz in kubuntu? === elphaba is now known as Whitor [20:05] ManDay: Man, I wish I had my system up right now. There is a control panel in GNOME that handles that. Works much like the Applications menu in Firefox. I believe it's under Preferences -> Preferred Applications. [20:05] LuciusMare: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [20:05] erUSUL: I am sure it is 9.04 [20:05] Ok, so I just noticed a problem. When I start Frozen Bubble the sound is crackling and then the application freezes.

I'm not sure what you're asking. apt-get and aptitude are package managers that are looking at the same package repositories (as defined in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d). There is nothing misleading going on. What do you have questions about?

[20:15] actionparsnip segmentation fault [20:15] DEViUS, That caused me to have to boot into low graphics mode, I don't recommend anyone else try that... :/ [20:15] esj: after you finish and reboot into ubuntu, you will probably need to run sudo update-grub again to probe for windows, since it likely won't be detected in the chroot [20:15] Going to try to remove it now... [20:15] aliendude5300, you mean low resolution? [20:15] VCoolio, you are right, there they are [20:15] anyone have any problem print from ubuntu to a win7 box on a network [20:15] I wish there was a manpage on that, tho [20:16] What package is related to that?

[20:26] Kinja-sheep okay I just restarted it, and will go check the ps3 to see if it shows up [20:26] lstarnes, you still havent named ONE longer script ;p [20:26] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to setup an ubuntu server here, and i'd like a web interface to configure a lot of the things... [20:26] actually i install them from the art manager menu [20:26] Does anyone else on karmic to see something mounted at /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs ? [20:26] what would you recommend then? [20:26] is there an easy way to set 'acp' to autocomplete to apt-cache policy for example? I have an alias for it now, but then it doesn't autocomplete the packages [20:26] they i apply them, and they do not change [20:26] ManDay: of course [20:26] ManDay: you can delete bash_completion or edit it if you are unhappy with it [20:26] ManDay: or use a different shell like zsh [20:27] adalal: it doesnt follow the right files in debian / ubuntu so its not advised [20:27] @drdmn that is odd. What icons are you trying to install? [20:27] lstarnes, not unhappy, just curious. how often do i use any auto completion besides the one for $PATH and $PWD [20:27] ManDay: sudo apt-get install apa tab = apache == bash_completion [20:27] Guest68083: so you have no flash ? [20:27] hi at all [20:27] ok, so i want to uninstall frozen bubble, what command to use to remove every package it has installed? [20:27] iceroot, see, i never use that [20:27] prc322: hi [20:27] How can I list all installed packages? [20:27] How to enable Direct3D aceleration on virtual box? I have already checked the boxes in the Display tab on setting of my Virtual XP and i have also installed the guest additions. I also oppened dxdiag on windows to try to enable Direct3D but it appears as not avaible. Can someone help me? [20:27] lets say i install cherry-soda [20:27] is ebox preferred over webmin now then, ActionParsnip [20:27] (i didnt eve know it is possible iceroot ) [20:27] vlee: where are you seeing that? in fstab or when you type mount in terminal? [20:27] !clone | diddy [20:27] diddy: 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 [20:27] adalal: yes [20:27] !tab | ManDay [20:27] ManDay: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:27] phaitour: you need to scan the disk and see which directories are using up the space. Seems odd that you can recover 75% on a reboot - indicates some tmp or swap usage [20:27] ? [20:27] legend2440: in df or mount [20:27] Im afraid Im here because I have a problem with ubuntu [20:28] after install it puts me to apprearence preferrences [20:28] Alan502: you need the 2 lots of guest additions [20:28] ManDay: cd /bo tab = /boot [20:28] i choose the icons but they wont change [20:28] im confused [20:28] prc322: Ask away. [20:28] kinja-sheep, ? [20:28] oh really iceroot - i didnt know this for years in linux [20:28] ... [20:28] drdmn: try restarting X [20:28] hello, my problem: i have 4 partitions on my /dev/sda, the system is running allright, but some tools (gparted, partition magic on winxp,..) cant recognize any partitions.. only palimpsest (debian disk utility) and fdisk can see that allright .. any idea how to fix that, please? [20:28] system ? [20:28] @drdmn well if you have not rebooted try that if that is not the issue you might want to try installing them manually. I personally do not use art manager as I find it to be quite buggy. [20:28] how to uninstall a package and all the packages it installed as well? [20:28] What is the equivalent of rpm -qa for Ubuntu? [20:28] oh thanks alot ill try [20:28] X-Sleepy-X: sudo apt-get purge frozenbubble [20:28] ActionParsnip, which lots? [20:28] X-Sleepy-X: try that [20:28] :] [20:28] ManDay: but zsh is much much better then bash (from the point of using tab) [20:29] darrend: I agree. I've tried to go through all the directories and the size just doesn't add up. for instance, I did this at /, du --max-depth=1 -h > http://pastebin.com/d404b085a [20:29] diddy: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/Desktop/Installed-Packages.txt --> A list of installed packages in a text file. [20:29] X-Sleepy-X: sudo apt-get purge packagename && sudo apt-get autoremove [20:29] thanks [20:29] alright, so Ive installed Ubuntu 9.10 everythings fine. But I cant change the Hz of one of my two screens in the display settings [20:29] darrend: i just don't really know where to start looking [20:29] X-Sleepy-X: be extremely careful when using autoremove [20:29] @dfh If you have the linux partitions formatted as any etx file system windows will not be able to see them. [20:29] vlee: no i dont see that in either one. is there an entry in /etc/fstab that mentions /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs? [20:29] iceroot, does it also have a fancy completion script like bash or is it builtin for the most part? [20:29] How do you get Ubuntu to re-discover the video card/monitor? When the system reboots, if the KVM does not have the monitor active for that server, then it does not discover the correct possible settings and forces a default maximum of 800x600. If the KVM is set to have the monitor active during reboot, then it discovers that the monitor can, in fact, support 1024x768. How can you force an active session to re-discover the card/monitor? [20:29] I have a problem I would love to have solved today: okay, so numlocks off: window management. numlocks on: use the numpad for calculation. 9.10 64 bit. this doesn't work. set up through the keyboard shortcuts. was given the solution to not use Mouse Keys, and they were already turned off, so it didn't work. i figure this is a simple problem, but aparently not. i understand if you guys aren't technical enough to help fix [20:29] @dfh windows only sees fat,fat32,ntfs formatted harddrives. [20:29] ManDay: it is largely built-in [20:29] I googled the hole day and multiple times dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg was mentioned [20:29] iceroot, i just got to know bash well enough to work efficiently with it, i wouldnt touch zsh for the next time ;) [20:29] thanks lstarnes [20:29] kinja-sheep No I don't see ushare, but I did find mediatomb [20:30] huh. its working on some sites and not on others [20:30] ManDay: most is build in for e.g. ssh tab is showing you the options, parameters,users and hosts [20:30] legend2440: no. It's not in fstab. Am using encrypted home folder though. Are you? [20:30] but when I type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" really nothing happens [20:30] hi, i have a problem with the ufw, when i enable it, after restarting my system its status changes back to disabled....why is that...?? [20:30] ManDay: but it likely splits up more complex things into separate scripts [20:30] its working on some sites and not on others [20:30] does anybody know how to boot ubuntu 9.10 with freebsd 7 [20:30] ActionParsnip, i checked Direct3D support when installing the guest additions [20:30] Tha-Doc: Toggle on web and telnet. Oh mediatomb works for you now then? [20:30] terrorink: what? [20:30] Alan502: when the box is booted, click the 2 additions in this shot: http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/guest_devices_menu.png [20:30] thats cool. just out of couriousity, what shell do you use iceroot lstarnes [20:30] (daily) [20:30] ManDay: bash [20:30] ManDay: zsh of course [20:31] "of course".. [20:31] @Devius Have you tryed adding the program to the start up list? [20:31] vlee: oh no i am not using encrypted home [20:31] ;D [20:31] phaitour: you need to do that without the --max-depth (cd / && du -sh *) [20:31] darrend: well thanks for helping me think of ideas... [20:31] ManDay: use it, then you know why i am saying "of course" [20:31] well yes it picks up mediatomb, but there is nothing in there on the ps3, cause I don't know how to do that config setup to add the dir [20:31] @Devius you can do so by making it launch at the start of boot. [20:31] phaitour: otherwise I think it won't include subdirs [20:31] Guest68083: weird, ok try: cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins; sudo ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [20:31] iceroot, understood [20:32] @DEVius ?

[20:33] where can I find the lower level proxy information? [20:33] @dfh I am confused dfh. Your issue is that windows will not see your linux partitions is this correct? If not if you could go into a little more detail I might be able to help. [20:33] ActionParsnip, im using PUEL though [20:33] !cups | greg_ [20:33] greg_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [20:33] ActionParsnip, lol it's difficult to find someone there [20:33] greg_, wat model, is it networked or directly connected? [20:34] !networking [20:34] @DEVius set you program as a daemon that will start at boot time [20:34] Binary_Helix, ok lemme try [20:34] Alan502: make sure you have the latest virtualbox [20:34] its networked.. ive looked at all the documentaition i can about cups but nothing i seem to do works [20:34] Alan502: puel? [20:34] ActionParsnip, closed source [20:34] @DEVius you can do this by making a link to your init directory [20:34] Alan502: i see, why not use the open one? [20:35] @DEVius you are correct. [20:35] Binary_Helix, can u assist me in doing it [20:35] erUSUL: Can you set up a network, peer to peer, using live cd? [20:35] Anyone on karmic using encrypted home folders see anything mounted at /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs ? [20:35] Binary_Helix, no, my problem is that most disc tools (linux and windows) cant recognize no partitions on that hdd.. [20:35] @DEVius sure give me one moment and I will point you to some stuff you can read. [20:35] ActionParsnip, usb support, they told me the lastest ose has usb support too but haven't had time to download it [20:36] hi everyone! does anyone has a HP Pavilion dv6z?? [20:36] Binary_Helix, thankoo [20:36] Alan502: that's unlikely for the OSE to have USB support [20:36] Alan502: sounds like the way forward then [20:36] nope. maybe its just that one site. the others are working again [20:36] greg_, type DEViUS, so i can know u r talking to me... [20:36] Guest68083: cool [20:36] Anyone on karmic using encrypted home folders? [20:36] greg_, is it hp? [20:36] Hey! After installing ATI drivers I get black screen at startup. Someone who have tried this? [20:37] Guest68083: welcome to 64bit flash :) [20:37] DEViuS yess its an hp [20:37] kilza: no, but ATI is a right problem with Desktop Linux [20:37] ha. thanks. [20:37] greg_, System -> Administration -> Prinitng, then click new, wait till a new printer dialog comes up, and you select the netowrk printer option [20:37] @DEVius here is a straight forward way of doing it without having to use youe command line fu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587701 [20:38] DEViUS okay done [20:38] actionparsnip, no help... did the updates, but pidgin is still closing itself when trying to get into Yahoo Messenger, but it's only Yahoo, it doesn't close if I use AIM names [20:38] ActionParsnip, anyway... do you know if i need the additional guest additions package on the closed source too? [20:38] kilza: since their lack of support [20:38] Alan502: you better ask in #vbox [20:38] !pm > kilza [20:38] kilza, please see my private message [20:38] hi, I'm on Karmic, Having bluetooth problems, the gnome bluetooth manager can't find my phone & vice versa.

[20:41] Cappy: ok your password is probably wrong some how, but those are easy enough to change [20:41] moin [20:41] protojay: Yup. Use Transmissions. :o [20:41] greg_, wat do do you mean nogo on testpage [20:41] ?

[20:55] Haura: probably fonts [20:55] Whereas openvpn service is successfully started on my domain conf, no tun0 interface is mounted : ifconfig tun0 [20:55] tun0: error fetching interface information: Device not found [20:55] Binary_Helix: Very true. [20:55] kinja-sheep, karmic [20:56] ActionParsnip: oh thank you, how could I get them? [20:56] @Haura you need to make sure that the video has subtitles encoded with it. Typically they will be seperate files in the same folder. [20:56] darrend: thanks for your help [20:56] @Haura also yes codecs [20:56] DEViUS hp-setup wont let me do anything... [20:56] I am thinking of dualbooting, would there be any problem with GRUB2 and Vista ? [20:56] Haura: you'll need to see what font is used somehow first [20:56] protojay: I see.

When the system reboots, if the KVM does not have the monitor active for that server, then it does not discover the correct possible settings and forces a default maximum of 800x600. If the KVM is set to have the monitor active during reboot, then it discovers that the monitor can, in fact, support 1024x768. How can you force an active session to re-discover the card/monitor?

[21:16] natewiebe13: the configure script installs the needed files as dictated in the makefile [21:17] nameo0: what i would do, is boot using a live cd, use the partition manager (gparted) to adjust the partitions [21:17] natewiebe13: the configure script just configures, the make installs the needed files as dictated in the makefile [21:17] ardchoille: there is also a ./compile not ./configure [21:17] when i boot using the cd i cant find gparted anywhere [21:17] @d9 Well I am sure it could be but it obviously would not be permanent. [21:18] ardchoille: .configure usually generates the makefile (from some template) [21:18] name0 [21:18] natewiebe13: that sounds like it just compiles and possibly calls make.

[22:30] maco: I know that, I thought he meant during an install [22:30] how do i run ubuntu from a usb drive?

[22:30] dtownhero, does this stretch the toolbars across both screenes? [22:30] sorry to ask again but does anyone have an ideas about my DVD problem? I've done all the guides on the ubuntu websites and it doesn't change at all, I can also run DVDs fine when I use windows [22:30] maco: anyway, tried ubuntu, but doesnt work [22:30] EntityReborn: no [22:30] Can I play DVDs in movie player? [22:31] hi I have a problem . My ubuntu 9.10 keeps disconnetting from my wifi wan. How can I fix this? Only firefox and ktorrent opened [22:31] Snausages: yes [22:31] Snausages, yes if you install the proper plugin [22:31] thanks ubottu [22:31] Here's a question, I'm running Lubuntu from a live cd, but I see no installation option upon running, any ideas on how to install? [22:31] surf: cool, what should I look for? [22:32] dtownhero, thanks, not sure if this is the way I want to go, as I'm not always connected to my 2nd (on a lappy here), but thanks anyway! [22:32] Snausages, put your dvd in the drive. Open it with the multimedia player and it will look for plugins on the net [22:33] How can I go back to windows from ubuntu, I lost my copy of windows but I have my product key [22:33] what is suggested for a window manager for an Z session over SSH? [22:33] tha-doc, are you dual booting? [22:34] tha-doc, explain better please. [22:34] r0k3tm3n: what? [22:34] ElNombre: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdread4 and run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"? Else try vlc [22:34] surf: ah, that's why I haven't seen this... I'm on a netbook, trying to open DVD folders on my network server [22:34] ubuntu__, do you want to upgrade or install? Using a clean cd? [22:34] surf: so no actual DVD drive [22:34] Snausages, k tell me the extension [22:34] hi, i cant boot the karmic liveusb. it starts to boot showing the white circle logo, then text appears for a nanosecond and screen goes black (about the time it should show the fancy bootsplash). ive booted previous versions on the usbstick before, this is a new laptop tho..im lost. [22:34] Snausages: are they vob files directly from a dvd or encodess? [22:34] -s [22:35] blakkheim: i experimenting with X sessions over SSH, and gnome is slow, what is suggested instead for a window manager? [22:35] r0k3tm3n: oh. well anything is going to be slow, but you could try something really light like dwm or openbox [22:35] surf, I want to install lubuntu, and it is clean. Upon running it only boots into the operating system instead of giving the option to install or run. [22:35] vcoolio: thanks, I've installed all that and I'm using VLC, when I type in "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" to terminal it says command not found... actually I've just had an idea, hold on [22:35] hello earthlings [22:35] blakkheim: what about LXDE? [22:35] no, I am having too many hardware issues with ubuntu, especially when it comes to games. When I had windows games worked great with this integrated graphics card that the dell gx270 has, but in ubuntu no games work almost at all. and I want to go back to windows professional I have my product key but no disks to reload onto my pc. What do i do? [22:36] ubuntu__, yeah that's right... it's the live cd. Then on the desktop you should see an Install icon [22:36] tha-doc, why didn't you dual boot? Have you got the recovery partition? === tj_ is now known as tj83 [22:36] r0k3tm3n: eh i'd avoid a full desktop environment, too much bloat/overheadd [22:36] tha-doc, try to look at it via gparted [22:37] r0k3tm3n: you could just login to your regular X session and then run specific X applications through ssh [22:37] ubuntu__, if you don't want to use a grafical installer then download the alternate version of the cd. [22:37] surf, I don't have an install icon on the desktop, upon shearching through some folders there is one named install, but all it cantains is a memory test, that's what confuses me. [22:37] Hey [22:37] blakkheim: ok, i havent tried Openbox yet. does it need to be running on the host computer? or can u run two different window managers? [22:37] blakkheim: yes, this is a folder full of vobs- direct dvd extracts. how can I get the video player to treat it as a DVD? [22:38] ubuntu__, are you on the live session now? [22:38] yes I am [22:38] Can anybody tell me where I can get NIC driver AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz ? [22:38] ubuntu__, and you can't see the install icon on the desktop [22:38] BaconZombie, google? [22:38] Snausages: i'm not sure. have you considered encoding them to something like mkv or mp4? that would make it much easier. [22:38] Anyone know where i could find a good graphic artist team or individual to assist with my new OSS project? [22:38] surf, there is no install icon, just one for documents. [22:39] blakkheim: haven't found a way to preserve soft subtitle capability in those formats [22:39] hey, I am using a tv as my monitor but my tasbar on top and bottom are almost cut out. How do I move the v.sync, i think that is what they call it? [22:39] r0k3tm3n: i've never done a full session through SSH, i'd recommend just logging in normally and running the apps you need through ssh [22:39] blakkheim: ok, thnx anyway [22:39] digitalaxis: craigslist for your city- there are bunches of them bidding on projects like that [22:39] ubuntu__, I had a similar problem and it was my drive gone... [22:39] Snausages: mkv supports softsubs i know for sure, and i think mp4 does too [22:39] its only a 720p display but I have an nvidia 7600gy [22:39] 7600gt* [22:39] Vcoolio: I've done that and it seems to have mad e a difference but it's still not right... do I need to restart for it to take effect? [22:39] Snausages: have you tried something like handbrake? [22:39] Snausages: Its for an OSS project, aka im not paying, lol. I already have a bunch of offers just looking to expand [22:40] I was wondering if someone wouldn't mind helping me install VLC xD [22:40] CovaDax: What is the issue your having? [22:40] blakkheim: interesting... no, haven't spent much time with it. [22:40] CovaDax: sudo aptitude install vlc [22:40] Solorvox : All the link say to goto "http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx" which is offline [22:40] blakkheim: i just tried it with LXDE, and it opened really fast!! w00t! [22:40] r0k3tm3n: nice [22:40] I'm really new to linux and don't know much about all the coding [22:40] to bad he left I was going to tell him to try synergy [22:40] ElNombre: not that I know of; at least no more than login again should suffice; what difference do you notice? It takes longer to fail? [22:40] surf, so you think it would be advisible to download the alternate version then, and install that way? [22:40] CovaDax: Open Synaptic through your taskbar and search for vlc [22:40] CovaDax: Go to your "Ubuntu Software manager" and type in VLC [22:40] r0k3tm3n: a standalone window manager would be even faster, but if that's fast enough for you then keep using it [22:41] VCoolio: yeah exactly, it got through the first few titles and then at the menu screen it started to screw up [22:41] CovaDax: open a terminal and type "sudo aptitude install vlc" [22:41] BaconZombie, learn to use google a bit, http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/ [22:41] ubuntu__, that would be a nice idea. I still think that your cd had error though. There is a way to install from terminal but I don't remember it now [22:41] anyone know what a Akami Client Installer is ? === TheDarkKnight is now known as Witch-King-VT [22:42] how do i fix this error "Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1.1.1.3-5ubunu7) Bult-in shell (ash) Enter help for a list of built in commands. (initramfs)" i am using wubi 8.04 [22:42] surf, alright thanks very much for all the advice. [22:42] CovaDax: You might want to read this also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [22:42] ubuntu__, np good luck ;) [22:42] madagascar27, that looks like a recovery shell. Did you read the error(s) above those lines? [22:42] ElNombre: maybe there's another package to support dvd menus, but I thought vlc didn't need that one [22:43] anyone know what Akami Client Installer is ? [22:43] hi I have a problem . My ubuntu 9.10 keeps disconnetting from my wifi wan. How can I fix this? Only firefox and ktorrent opened [22:43] solorvox: there is nothing above it [22:43] VCoolio: I'll try looking for different dvd packages, cheers [22:43] Tk_L: its not a part of ubuntu, i know that [22:43] madagascar27, I assume you get that after you try and boot? Have you tried running fsck? [22:43] Any one got experience with LVM here? http://pastebin.com/m408d0e35 [22:44] ElNombre: try libdvdnav4 [22:44] solorvox: what is fsck? [22:44] Tk_L: Java-Application by Akami, not a part of ubuntu. [22:44] hello, i'm running karmic. my mouse sometimes loses sync and goes into epileptic fits. i found a few solutions and all involve editing the xorg.conf file. I can't find it in it's usual place (/etc/X11/xorg.conf). What do i edit? [22:44] hi I have a problem . My ubuntu 9.10 keeps disconnetting from my wifi wan. How can I fix this? Only firefox and ktorrent opened [22:45] solorvox: I tried to defragment my hard drive and the only thing that was not able to be defragmented was ubuntu(wubi) [22:45] when you boot ubuntu from usb does it create a partition? [22:45] yacc: go for zfs [22:45] izua: type "locate xorg.conf" in your terminal [22:45] vvor, *lol* [22:45] syk: no [22:45] hey, is there any way to auto-mount a disk when you star the system up? [22:45] vvor, the day I decide to switch to Solaris ;) [22:45] ihat: /etc/fstab [22:45] izua, this means that you don't have it. Gimme your ls /etc/X11/ in pvt [22:45] already tried that, no results except the man entry [22:46] vvor, I do have a complex block device situation, but a fuse based filesystem for root? [22:46] Thanks guys, I got it [22:46] madagascar27, sorry, I don't use/know anything about wubi, can't help you. [22:46] vcoolio: I thought I had that already, but if that's the problem then surely just playing the movie should work? once I get past the laggy menu? I'll give that a shot [22:46] yacc: now yoy say rooooot [22:46] Anyway, anyone with an idea why lvm acts up? http://pastebin.com/m408d0e35 [22:46] izua: How do you go about editing the file? Have you forgotten to use sudo when you do that? [22:46] can someone please help me with gparted [22:46] blakkheim: care to explain more? im a nab [22:47] vvor, guess you did not click on the pastebin link, ... [22:47] ihat: man fstab [22:47] surf: maybe ktorrent is causing the wireless router to reboot? [22:47] yacc: sorry lvm is not my COT [22:47] Docteh, it reboots even without it :/ [22:47] can any1 help with my wubi problem, i want to get into my wubi partition b/c i need to copy some files [22:48] kenpark: there is no config file at that location, that's what's confusing me [22:48] Ok, for some reason lvm does not consider the PVs to be different drives, ... [22:48] Docteh, sry it does not reboot... it just drops connection [22:48] izua: What happens when you type "locate xorg.conf" in your console? [22:48] Ah, that makes sense, dm devices all have rather similar major/minor numbers, ... [22:49] surf, try not running your torrents, see if it's overloading your router [22:49] kenpark: no results, except the man file === beryybarry|away is now known as berrybarry [22:49] as i said before, it's not there. [22:50] surf: torrents can over whelm routers with too many connections, fyi === Guest6516 is now known as trucMuche [22:50] treb^, go System - Screen and adjuste; 800X600 is only choice [22:51] Ok, the problem has been reduced to make lvm recognize that two dm-provided PVs are on seperate discs, ...

[22:51] treb^, this means you don't have your graphic card configured [22:52] ok [22:52] yes, there's X11 but no xorg.conf [22:52] Berzerker: install wicd, get rid of nm-applet [22:52] procedure? [22:52] treb^, it depends on your card [22:53] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [22:53] VCoolio: okay dude menus still screw up but the actual movies seem to play fine, that's enough for now, thanks for the help :) <3333333333333333 [22:54] treb^, which card have you got= [22:54] ?

[23:06] <^Phantom^> k thank you [23:06] <^Phantom^> lol [23:07] RedDragon: lm-sensors if for temps.. not email [23:07] <^Phantom^> it's mounted but i'm using termial [23:07] ^Phantom^: use the "find" utility? [23:07] phoenixzorn: find . * | grep sysguard [23:07] <^Phantom^> yeh i frgot about that sorry [23:07] <^Phantom^> :D [23:07] <^Phantom^> searchng now [23:07] (find all - * - files in current directory - . - and give me - grep - the ones that end in 'sysguard') [23:07] how do I set email for email alerts [23:08] I just installed ATI drivers and ran aticonfig --initial -f and then restarted. Now all that shows up is a black screen and a blinking cursor. What the hell happened? [23:08] LucidPerry: it didn't work ;) [23:08] lol [23:08] Docteh: How do I fix it oO [23:08] bash.org ? [23:08] RedDragon: there are mail client that do it (with plugins maybe; like claws-mail); or use some standalone mail notifier, search synaptic [23:08] lol that reply kicked ass [23:08] :( [23:09] i though i heard it was in the config [23:09] has anyone fowarded X over SSH with Openbox, Fluxbox, or dwm? [23:09] LucidPerry: lsmod | grep fglrx <-- or what the kernel module is called [23:09] r0k3tm3n: why forward a window manager? [23:09] r0k3tm3n, just ask about your problem [23:09] Docteh: nothing happens when I enter in commands. It just goes to the next line. [23:10] Docteh: Doesn't register them whatsoever. [23:10] r0k3tm3n: i have [23:10] ok, i have the xorg.conf now, but i obviously copied it [23:10] LucidPerry, cos there's not flgrx module === jp is now known as Guest17146 [23:10] LucidPerry: modprobe fglrx and then do that lsmod again? [23:10] the only question now is - is X really using it? [23:10] izua: if the file exists it will be used [23:10] izua, I think so. [23:10] Docteh: lighter and faster, i have run Gnome and LXDE, but i was told that WM;s were faster.... [23:10] hello everybody [23:11] hsa2, hi [23:11] background of tray icons on gnome-panel is not transparent [23:11] ok, thanks everybody [23:11] i mean, not all icons [23:11] but some of them [23:11] r0k3tm3n: but why are your forwarding a window manager? just use the local one [23:11] is it a bug or something? [23:11] r0k3tm3n: you can forward just the app you need, forwarding the whole desktop is waaaay OTT [23:11] !enter | hsa2 [23:11] hsa2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:11] ActionParsnip: i was able to start Gnome and LXDE, but i cant get dwm, openbox, or fluxbox to run [23:11] is the email email alerts setting in the config for lm-sensors? [23:12] Docteh: remote connections over WAN... [23:12] r0k3tm3n: just forward the app you want to run, don't forward the whole desktop, its silly [23:12] r0k3tm3n: I'd forward just an xterm and go from there personally [23:12] RedDragon: forget the connection lm-sensors <-> email ;) what email client do you use? [23:12] ok, background of some of my icons on gnome-panel's tray part is not transparent, so when i make my panel's background transparent, they look weird. is it a bug or something? [23:12] ActionParsnip: maybe silly to you... for me it makes sense in some situations [23:12] really not one [23:13] thnx [23:13] hsa2: the icon images are probably not set up for transparency [23:13] r0k3tm3n: if you are launching apps in a desktop you can just launch the apps directly, meaning you are forwarding the desktop and the app [23:13] hsa2, try changing icon sets === X-Sleepy-X is now known as Santa-Claus [23:14] surf, no, changing icon set doesn't solve this problem [23:14] ActionParsnip: yes, i get that, but i WANT to forward the whole desktop, not just an app. have u done it with Openbox or DWM? [23:14] RedDragon: gmail? there is gmail-notify or gnome-gmail-notifier [23:14] Docteh, is there anything i can do about it? === Santa-Claus is now known as X-Sleepy-X [23:14] r0k3tm3n: you could killoff openbox, then rerun it in the forwarded X session [23:15] r0k3tm3n, x11vnc [23:15] r0k3tm3n, maybe if you told people what your problem is and not asking if people had done something, you might get better responses. [23:15] hsa2: you could track down the specific icons, edit them and file a bug against the package that contains the icon so its fixed in the future [23:16] Solorvox: i tried that: i cant get openbox/dwm/fluxbox to start [23:16] r0k3tm3n, on the remove or local system? [23:17] tubaman: but i want to forward over ssh, but thnx [23:17] tubaman: and tunnels aren't working [23:17] Solorvox: remote [23:17] r0k3tm3n, When forwarding X over ssh, you don't use the remove WM, the X11 windows are forwarded to your local WM [23:17] r0k3tm3n, ssh port forward vnc(5900) [23:17] i need little help with ettercap on ubuntu... when i try to log infos... i get error! it says that i can't make a file that i wish to log infos.. permission denied.. i'm talking about GUI ettercap, any help (sorry for bad english) [23:18] SaToo: run it as root [23:18] hello,where is KDE's folder where are installed wallpapers? [23:18] <^Phantom^> is there any way to edit the windows registry from an ubuntu live cd? [23:18] SaToo: where are the logs for it written to? [23:18] r0k3tm3n: instead of typing like ssh somewhere -X openbox do ssh somewhere -X app [23:18] ^Phantom^: wait a minute,i heard something about this [23:18] ^Phantom^: registry-tools [23:18] nm [23:18] <^Phantom^> okay [23:18] r0k3tm3n: the window managers are probably returning an error message about a window manager alreadt being present :) [23:19] ^Phantom^: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 [23:19] don't know i guess, /root ... i don't know i'm new in linux world [23:19] SaToo: then why are you using ettercap? [23:20] SaToo: well if you run the app as you, you don't have write access there do you. You will need to find where the logs are written and give yourself write access there, or run the app with gksudo [23:20] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip: i want to edit the windows registry while i am in the livecd [23:20] blakkheim why not? [23:20] SaToo: it's not a tool for beginners [23:20] ActionParsnip thanks [23:21] but if i don't know use it how i will learn to use it?

[23:22] blakkheim ofcourse [23:22] but i just want to know this... [23:22] hi [23:23] SaToo: it's happening because you don't have write permissions to the directory it wants to write to. run the program as root or with a "sudo" prefix and it will work [23:23] hello :D, a friend of mine wants to open a .shs file (with Open Office). Does anybody know how she can open it? === Guest98529 is now known as mobius2 [23:24] Is there any software like Wubi.exe for ubuntu?

[23:28] iyunkateus: use pidgin [23:28] I am having trouble with ubuntu installation. The partition program has started, but the progress bar has been on 47% for a loooong time. It says: "searching hard drives" How long will this take? I guess it has been on 47% for at least 15 minutes.... [23:28] c7p, it's a wrapper for many types of files, it could be anything from a dll, exe, doc, xls, etc. In other words, you can't really. Maybe if you could extract the objects, then open them. [23:29] Bragex9: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [23:29] blakkheim: besides using pidgin [23:29] Solorvox: thank you:), any idea how can she open it? [23:30] *extract it [23:30] what can i try to download it [23:30] ActionParsnip: I install from a usb-stick. I have used it on another pc and it worked fine there [23:30] Hi all. I've noticed that sound played through Audacious and VLC on ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 sounds flat and/or tinny as compared to when I play it using winamp on Windows on the same machine. I event used the same winamp presets in Audacious. Any idea why? [23:31] hello,where is KDE's folder where are installed wallpapers? [23:31] Bragex9: ko then maybe you need bootoptions [23:31] c7p, no. Might help if you knew what type of file it was supposed to be. [23:31] !bootoptions | Bragex9 [23:31] Bragex9: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [23:31] hey again guys, can anyone help me get DMA enabled?I've followed the wiki guide but something unexpected has come up and I'm not sure how to deal with it [23:32] c7p, are you sure it's not a worm/virus?

You need to have her co-worker send her the full xls, not the shs scrap.

[23:37] digitalaxis-this is my frist time using ubuntu [23:37] ActionParsnip: sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean - it's a DVD drive [23:38] ElNombre: gotcha, yeah you will need hdparm, you will need to edit one of the hdparm conf files to make the change permanent [23:38] For setting up a shortcut key in gnome to focus an application (say firefox) if already running or launch it otherwise, anyone have a recommendation? [23:38] ActionParsnip: cheers dude [23:39] Hey guys, I have a question for you. when I first boot up into 9.10, my screen goes black except for the pointer which gets a lot bigger as if the screen resolution was being decreased. If I go to a lower run state (i.e ctrl+alt+f7) and back it fixes the problem. Is there anyway I can prevent it from happening though? [23:39] (ctrl+alt+f6)* [23:42] Lyra: ctrl+alt+f6 goes to a lower run state? I thought it just showed the tty... [23:42] Lyra: but.. nevermind.. what graphics card are you using [23:44] will i run into any problems running ubuntu on a Compac Presario V2000 [23:44] ati radeon 3100 [23:44] is there a quick way to find out the path to a device? like for use in terminal, what should I use for the name of my DVD player? [23:44] I'm in dire need of assistance. I turn on my computer, get 1/5 through boot and it freezes, if I do ANYTHING cpu intensive (ie: start firefox) it freezes [23:45] It's hardware failure, but if someone could tell me what it probably is, and how I would go about fixing this, it would be awesome. [23:45] Lyra: it might be a problem with the ATI driver.. I don't have an ATI card myself so I can't really help you with specifics. [23:45] ShazbotMcNasty: might be overheating [23:45] I can hear the fans.. [23:45] I moved it to a move open place. [23:45] ShazbotMcNasty: have you tried running a memory test? [23:45] ElNombre: sudo lshw -C drive [23:45] it won't [23:45] just freezes [23:45] sorry: sudo lshw -C disk [23:45] Slart: I just updated the drivers and they seem to be working fine for me, other than that one little thing. [23:45] cheers [23:46] ShazbotMcNasty: how many memory chips do you have in it? if you have more than one you can try removing one at a time.. see if things improve [23:46] I've got four, you think it may be the ran?? [23:46] ShazbotMcNasty: change the boot options so you can watch the system boot rather than the annoying boot splash which helps nobody [23:46] how can i share files with vsftpd from another partition (not in the users home dir) [23:46] Lyra: not really sure what to recommend then.. sorry [23:46] its ok, just a minor inconvenience [23:47] Well I ran in recovery mode, and it doesn't get to a certain spot, it gets to a different point every tiume. [23:47] ShazbotMcNasty: it might be.. it's hard to be sure.. but memory problems can mess things up in a weird way [23:47] So I'm pretty sure it's overheating, or something else is wrong. [23:47] ShazbotMcNasty: also you may want to test your ram from the option in grub [23:47] hello [23:47] Hiya, is there a log of terminal output in ubuntu somewhere? [23:48] ActionParsnip: you talking about memtest? [23:48] ShazbotMcNasty: try opening up the box.. clean out the dust.. see if it gets any further [23:48] ShazbotMcNasty: sure [23:48] ActionParsnip: freezes [23:48] <^Phantom^> thank yu [23:48] <^Phantom^> bye now [23:48] ShazbotMcNasty, if it's heat, did you try cleaning out your fans? And then maybe underclocking your CPU/FSB? [23:48] when i try to play something, it tells me "playing through -device- does not work,coming back to." [23:48] ShazbotMcNasty: re-seat the RAM, then test it [23:48] oh,and there is one more user logged in [23:48] Slart: Will do. My video card is touching my RAM, which has always bothered the hell out of me. [23:48] amelius: Will do. [23:49] Thanks for all your guys' suggestions, I'll be back in a bit, whether it works or not. [23:49] ok actionparsnip, I'm gonna have to bother you again... I'm using terminal to try and enable DMA, I'm getting this " HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" [23:49] Peace. [23:49] ShazbotMcNasty: hmm.. yes.. that doesn't really sound right.. not sure it's what's causing this though [23:49] will i run into any problems running ubuntu on a Compac Presario V2000 [23:50] Hello, how do I set my location for Gnome-Do weather?

I don't actually know what sata and atapi are, are they mutually exclusive or am I on the wrong track? === DaZ is now known as losowynick === losowynick is now known as DaZ [23:58] ElNombre: I can't say I'm an expert at this either.. there's SATA and PATA serial and parallell ... then there's IDE,ATA.. not really sure what they all do [23:59] slart: well basically, I tried using the conventional method of turning on DMA but it failed, but in one of the blocks of text in terminal, it says "DMA has been disabled but can be enabled", so there must be a way
