[00:00] ElNombre: that some programs says something doesn't mean it's actually true =) [00:00] hello [00:00] slart: fair point [00:00] How come when I burn an AVI file to DVD format using DVD Styler the sound and audio dont line up sometimes when i play it in a DVD player [00:00] how can i install docky on my ubuntu box? [00:00] hsa2, sudo aptitude install gnome-do [00:00] how can i create a persistent mount -o ro,bind mountpoint? [00:00] ElNombre: I think hdparm is starting to show its age.. I read something about sdparm some while ago.. I think it was supposed to replace hdparm [00:01] slart: cheers, I'll take a look into that [00:01] Tiders, not gnome-do, docky [00:01] hsa2, Gnome-do is docky [00:01] ElNombre: and I'm not sure if SATA uses something other than DMA or if it's smarter than PATA so there's no need to enable it by hand [00:01] hsa2: docky is a 'theme' for gnome-do [00:01] Tiders, https://launchpad.net/docky [00:02] i installed gnome-do and docky on my arch linux ? [00:02] hsa2, You configure gnome-do to be a dock using a theme [00:02] Tiders: yeah I think it was slitted recently [00:02] splitted === arnaud__ is now known as arn- [00:02] yes it is [00:02] VCoolio, Not on 9.04 [00:02] hsa2, Which release? [00:02] ok, spent the last hour trying ffmpeg with no luck... anyone else have any suggestions for converting iTunes m4p files to mp3? [00:02] i installed docky from bzr [00:02] i mean, on my arch linux [00:03] hsa2, Which release of Ubuntu [00:03] the last one, i have just downloaded [00:03] is it hard upgrading the kernel in ubuntu? [00:03] i don't know my version [00:03] textex, Best not to [00:03] so Docky better than Avant Windows Navigator? [00:04] Tiders, why? Cause im trying to get a dvi card working with it, but its some problems with framebuffer that i think is fixed in another kernel [00:04] looks better [00:04] atx, Its all opinion.. I like awn as well [00:04] yeah, I guess you need to install it and see for yourself [00:04] textex: any special reason you need to upgrade it? [00:04] was wondering about the options though === andrew__ is now known as Pickbothmanlol [00:05] DarkHelmut, did you install ffmpeg from the main repository or the medibuntu one? [00:05] Slart im trying to get a dvi card working with it, but its some problems with framebuffer that i think is fixed in another kernel [00:05] Hello [00:05] unop both actually [00:05] I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. [00:05] textex: you can always give lucid lynx a try.. I think it has a newer kernel.. it might be broken for other reasons though [00:05] I had Ubuntu installed using Wubi [00:05] unop, did a manual install from svn source, no luck [00:06] Slart, I wouldnt start recomending out an alpha release yet to someoen whos having difficulties [00:06] DarkHelmut, so what exactly happens when you attempt to transcode? [00:06] Slart; fedora kernel devs are saying that they fixed the issue in 2.6.32. Since you have ubuntu, good luck upgrading. [00:06] i got told that yesterday [00:06] unop, I get a list of erros, shal I paste them to you? [00:06] textex, Yes "good luck upgrading" [00:06] Tiders: true.. I just meant try it as in "try the live cd".. but I guess I wasn't really clear about how alpha lucid is [00:06] DarkHelmut, put them up on a pastebin [00:06] Slart, Yes :D [00:07] I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi [00:07] Tiders, so im pretty much screwed? Guess its better trying to install fedora instead? [00:07] textex: you read that? don't go upgrading your nuclear reactor controller box to lucid.. it's very alpha.. I only meant for you to try a live cd to see if it works there [00:07] unop, sorry... I'll do that next time [00:07] back again [00:07] empathy blows [00:07] how do I change the partition size of my linux install? [00:07] unop, http://pastebin.com/d1bb1bf4f [00:08] !info linux-image-generic [00:08] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.16.29 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [00:08] Slart cause i was told trying to upgrade to a fedora kernel [00:08] textex, You may want to check the forums onlien and see if anyone had some luck with upgrading it [00:08] DarkHelmut, I thought you said mp4, m4p is a infected (DRM) itnues file. You can't [00:08] scott_ino2: what software? VPN link breaks while idle, or seemingly randomly? is there a router involved? if yes, do you connect to it wirelessly? [00:08] how can i create a persistent mountpoint with mount -o ro,bind after boot? [00:08] Solorvox, yeah... :( m4p [00:08] amelius, umm more randomly... after a few minutes or so, router IS involved and yes wirelessly [00:09] DarkHelmut, one suggestion I known is to convert them (with itunes) to m4a [00:09] Solorvox, is there a Noteburner or similar software for linux? [00:09] amelius, can't believe you saw that from that long ago haha [00:09] dath, With fstab [00:09] hello [00:09] Or any of you got some experience with the intelfd? [00:09] very big problem the firefox bus error [00:09] DarkHelmut, you can look on google, there are some suggestions for converting them. [00:09] Cause i got a Intel card that wont work with ubuntu [00:09] Solorvox, I may have to plunk down some cash it seems. very upset I have to pay (again) to access my own dam music. Lesson learned! [00:10] dath_ sudo nano /etc/fstab you will find all the drives that mount at boot you can set more there [00:10] Tiders, what file system do i need in fstab [00:10] Solorvox, I've tried everything I can google over the last week, no luck [00:10] for mount --bind [00:10] DarkHelmut, http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ =) [00:11] i got a mc760 usb modem i was thinking is there away i can speed up the downloads and uploads on it? [00:11] I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi [00:11] I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi [00:11] I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi [00:11] Pickbothmanlol: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:11] scott_ino2: you should first try to rule out the wireless link as a cause, then the router itself, if at all possible [00:11] Solorvox, I'm a card carrying member now. ;) [00:11] Pickbothmanlol: nice to see that you're handling yourself with maturity and dignity.. [00:11] Is there away i can speed up my download on my mc760 usb modem? [00:12] Considering there is 1300 users in this channel. [00:12] DarkHelmut, hehe, from what I've read, there isn't much you can do. DRM sucks in every way, for the consumers anyway. [00:12] XD [00:12] dath_: seems this should work: /old/folder /new/folder none bind 0 0 [00:12] Pickbothmanlol: so what is the question? [00:12] i hope someone knows. [00:12] hello, I have a gps receiver but dont know how to get the data out of it. Anyone knows how can I see in terminal if its working or not? [00:12] I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. [00:12] amelius, k I can do that, however are you saying there are "known" issues with vpn and wireless?? only the vpn connection drops, not my wireless. [00:12] Any solution? [00:12] !find gps [00:12] Found: fso-gpsd, geoclue-gpsd, gnat-gps, gnat-gps-doc, gpsbabel (and 27 others) [00:13] running ubuntu i just get: intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration. [00:13] Pickbothmanlol: make some free space? [00:13] Solorvox, yup. My other option is to use Audacity and record the stream as I play the files from iTunes via Wine, however Audacity isn't picking up my output [00:13] newser, try typing dmesg after you plug it in, also lsusb will show if it's seen by the kernel. (assuming it usb) [00:13] i got a virgin modile usb mc760 and i want to know if i can speed it up? [00:13] :) [00:13] Isn't there a program for defining raise-or-launch keystrokes for apps? [00:13] DarkHelmut, the oldest trick is to burn them to CD, then rip the CDs. There are some windows apps that setup a virtual drive, and then allow you to read it. [00:13] anyone? [00:13] VCoolio, /media/stuff/media/games /home/cgboard/games none bind,ro 0 0 <-- like this? [00:14] ? [00:14] or is there a link i can read? [00:14] Solorvox, yes, none are free, which is ok, but they all seem rather overpriced at $40+ [00:14] dath_: the examples I found don't mention the ,ro part; try it, else set that on the source disk [00:14] running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone? [00:14] VCoolio, i need rw on the source disk [00:14] Does anyone know how to speed up the internet on a mc760??? [00:14] coz there are other dirs [00:15] scott_ino2: VPNs (again, what exactly?) and routers can be a tricky combination because the VPN software essentially needs to work around the address translation [00:15] i only want the mounted folder to be ro [00:15] ?? [00:15] DarkHelmut, you could always send apple an invoice for it. :) [00:15] dath_: I don't use bind, but doesn't it just copy the permissions of the source folder it refers to? don't know, sorry [00:15] running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone? [00:15] Solorvox, don't think I have many choices though, I may spend some time just looking for what I want and downloading it again (via less than acceptable means). [00:15] amelius, what info do you need? [00:15] Solorvox, yes, its usb but do you know which app can output tha data? [00:15] hello i got a question [00:15] dath, chmod 555 on the ro mount point [00:16] VCoolio, you can combine both options bind and ro when using the mount command [00:16] i tested it [00:16] How can i speed up a mc760 modem on linux? [00:16] VCoolio, i just wonder if that works in fstab [00:16] newser, search for gps in the software center [00:16] Solorvox, Well, many thanks for your help! [00:16] unop and to you ass well, thanks [00:16] DarkHelmut, good luck [00:16] how do I run system-adm-users and groups as root? [00:17] perlsyntax: come on.. there's no need to repeat your question every minute.. repeat once every 15 minutes or so.. not more often than that.. use the time to search the forums or use google [00:17] dath_, do that before you mount too, btw. [00:17] i have! [00:17] newser, Gebabbel is in the repo [00:17] VCoolio, testing the hard way with a reboot now ;) [00:17] perlsyntax: waited 15 minutes before repeating? no you haven't =) [00:17] !Gebabbel [00:17] is google chrome browser updated with regular updates? [00:17] could you help me slart? [00:17] oorah: if you get it from their nightly repos you get a new one every day.. [00:18] perlsyntax: I have no idea what a mc760 modem is.. so no.. if I knew anything about it I would have told you [00:18] slart, i got the modem to work:) but try to load the speeds faster. [00:18] lol it a usb modem [00:18] perlsyntax: I think that goes for most of the active people in here too [00:18] running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone? [00:18] scott_ino2: tell us what software the VPN runs on, and whether anything improves if you remove first the wireless link, then the entire router from the equation [00:18] DarkHelmut, thanks [00:18] this not a ubuntu support room lmao [00:18] Could someone please look at this bug, and maybe put it in the right category/assign it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008 [00:19] dath_: ok, but searching google doesn't give a solution / workaround for fstab for me; good luck [00:19] amelius, i have no idea what software they're using, this is an anonymity service [00:20] Slart, is that the default install? [00:20] scott_ino2: what software are _you_ using? [00:20] Solorvox: looks like a good bug report.. I have no idea if it's in the right category or not though [00:20] amelius, VPN through networkmanager [00:21] oorah: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. I get it from a PPA somewhere.. [00:21] Slart, it's not in a category, nor assigned. (been about a week) Wondering if that's why no one as looked at it. :-/ [00:21] Solorvox: might be a holiday thing [00:22] I am considering putting ubuntu on my netbook, can the interface that the netbook-remix comes with be turned off for the regular taskbar? [00:23] SaBot: I think you could do that with the earlier UNR.. I think I remember someone else asking about it before.. I think they removed the function to switch between the normal ui and the special netbook ui [00:23] VCoolio, it works like a charm :D i mounted an ntfs partition in fstab with ntfs-3g and from that partition i mounted a folder with read only to a ftp user home dir. it even works while the user is connected via ftp :] great! [00:23] SaBot, yes it can, it's under preferences [00:24] SaBot: but this is all 2nd hand information.. I've never tried unr myself [00:24] Hi, has anyone installed ubuntu on macbook (apple hardware), because of efficiency have to  disable acpi in grub but there is another solution? [00:24] Quick question: how do I (using emerald) get rid of the shadows around windows? [00:24] dath_: cool, something added the last year I think; some threads I read from 2008 mentioned it wasn't possible (yet); congrats [00:24] scott_ino2: if it's a public anonimity service (which one?), perhaps they're simply getting more connections than they can handle; again, the first things to try to rule out as a cause are the wireless link and the router itself [00:25] I'm back, it was the RAM [00:25] AllHailTheGeek, don't use emerald, change the settings in compiz, install the cssm and adjust in system/preferences [00:25] amelius, ok let me go test and hook up to a wired connection.... [00:25] When I got this computer, one of the RAM clips was gone, and that one wasn't pushed all the way down and came loose [00:25] Solorvox, do reflections work in !emerald? [00:25] Thanks [00:26] AllHailTheGeek, no idea, but shadows can be set in the manager [00:26] has anyone installed ubuntu on macbook? (hardware apple) [00:26] shazbotmcnasty: yay.. so no it works again? all is good? [00:26] Solorvox, actually, reflections don't show in the current window, only in inactive ones. [00:26] za.archive.ubuntu.com is resolving to 91.189.88.30 here [00:26] AllHailTheGeek, I don't use emerald, it's a bit buggy for me. [00:27] Solorvox, seems ok for me, just the shadow thing [00:27] AllHailTheGeek, well you can either use cssm to change it, or edit the emerald theme [00:27] hi, does anyone know how to tell the filesystem to avoid/skip readwriting on an specific sector/block? [00:27] k [00:29] alvareClrnD, what filesystem? [00:29] ext4 [00:29] hi all [00:30] alvareClrnD: take the drive out the machine and throw it away (honestly its a waste of time using failing drives) [00:30] hello [00:30] just say you dont know [00:30] its new [00:30] alvareClrnD, I assume the sector is bad, have you run fsck on it? [00:30] the sector is phisically broken [00:31] alvareClrnD: badblocks? [00:31] its a new seagete, the ones that come with the "clacking" [00:31] has anyone run powerdevil [00:31] alvareClrnD: then return the drive to where you bought it [00:31] they only change it for the same drive, but new [00:32] and they all are a complete piece of shit [00:32] alvareClrnD: you could partition round the problem area [00:32] alvareClrnD: or wait.. badblocks just searches for bad blocks.. [00:32] !language | alvareClrnD [00:32] alvareClrnD: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:32] mmhmm, I liked that one [00:32] is clacking a feature these days? [00:32] alvareClrnD, as a short term, temporary workaround, you could just use dd to fill the sector with zero bit data (pad) [00:32] Powerdevil has anyone used it or know how to start it [00:32] in seagate hardrives it is [00:32] what happens when you mount --bind a directory 2 times to different targets? and if that works, how can you unmount only a specific folder? [00:33] Solorvox: just trying to access the sector makes the disk freeze [00:33] for some seconds [00:33] alvareClrnD: can't you get a different brand ? [00:34] blackest_knight1: I would have to buy it, I dont have the money, I guessed maybe ext4 could just skip that sector [00:34] alvareClrnD,dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdz bs=BLOCK_SIZE count=1 seek=BLOCK_NUM [00:34] Help, I can't start Ubuntu minimal from my USB [00:34] I just finished building my computer. [00:34] amelius, yeah still dropped. [00:34] can anyone tell me how to properly apply this patch and test it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/348540 [00:34] I did that, maybe the disk was S.M.A.R.T enough to detect a bad sector and internally skip it [00:35] well, how to apply it I can test it just fine... [00:35] alvareClrnD, you might also read 'man badblocks' [00:35] anybody here tell me why i have nothing at listed in my device hardware in ubuntu 9.10? but everything but the wirless is working [00:35] Any ideas? [00:35] hmm, my mouse froze [00:35] any tips on how to make it work without /etc/init.d/kdm restart ? [00:35] Solorvox: no use, already tried that too, the sector is broken physicaly [00:36] well alvareClrnD take a guess where the error is and make two partitions use the one without the error [00:36] hi, i'm attempting to setup an ubuntu server to download torrents, can anyone help me? [00:36] scott_ino2: with a good old wired connection to the router? [00:36] no need to guess, fdisk is friendly enough, but that would be a mess [00:36] How does one change the resolution of a virtual console? [00:36] alvareClrnD, are you trying to save data, or work around a defective drive? [00:36] amelius, yes [00:36] kyle6513, why does it have to be a server? [00:36] amelius, sadly, it was definitely working much more smoothly till it disconnected [00:36] also I love having one giant partiion to make things easier, I dont screw arround with multiple partitions for /home, /boot and stuff [00:36] or well... faster at least [00:37] amelius, again, the connection itself wasn't dropped, just the connection to the VPN [00:37] Why isn't my computer booting to the USB? [00:37] scott_ino2: what service exactly? is it feasible to temporarily bypass the router entirely? [00:37] My BIOS is set up perfectly [00:37] Solorvox: I'm trying to live, but a random day in the week a random program reads a random file thats on a broken sector, and the PC freezes until I kill that job [00:37] amelius, yeah i can bypass, im using itshidden [00:37] darkhelmut, it doesnt really, although i wont be around to monitor the computer for a whole month, i would like to be able to monitor it from the internet and if i get tricky enough, have it send my hotmail account an email, which will send an sms to my mobile warning me of certain things. [00:38] Does anyone know? [00:38] anybody here tell me why i have nothing at listed in my device hardware in ubuntu 9.10? but everything but the wirless is working [00:38] scott_ino2: I see your point, but if the wireless happens to be dicey and the VPN happens to use UDP ... [00:38] alvareClrnD, I know you don't like the advice given, but trust us, replacing the drive is your best option. Everything else is just a workaround [00:38] kyle6513, so you want it to automatically download torrents while you are away and just store them? where would you like it to download from? [00:38] I have a dual boot machine and when I try to login to ubuntu first option 2.6.31-16-generic I get an error message kernel panic-not syncing:vfs unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (8,2). I can login to 2.16.31-14-generic without any issues. Any ideas as why this is happening? [00:39] Solorvox: then I'll workaround, I live in argentina, $150 is a lot of money here [00:39] I suddenly have "inverted" colours on playing videos on vlc, mplayer, dragonplayer, xine. the only player that works fine is totem. what can I do [00:39] darkhelmut, if i gave it a torrent while i was away, and for it to download off that torrent, that would be great [00:39] Solorvox: thanks for your time, now I'll proceed to read the filesystem kernel code [00:39] alvareClrnD, just so you know, it's only going to get worse. [00:40] darkhelmut, i would just like it to tell me tempratures and such if i logged into it's ip address with a password as its summer in australia atm and i dont want to risk any fires or whatnot [00:40] alvareClrnD: you have a bad hdd and you insist on using it , the best you can hope for is to isolate the error in its own partition [00:40] ahh, you want to login to your machine while you are away and give it a command to grab a torrent? [00:40] alvareClrnD, usually the coating on the drive gets damaged, and then it gets spread by the heads. [00:40] Solorvox: it's not like a old hardisk that fail naturally [00:40] pkill firefox [00:40] amelius, you want me to try bypassing the router? I'm pretty interested as to the why, if you could share some insight as to issues with vpn.. [00:40] mt [00:40] kyle6513, is SSH not good enough for your needs? [00:40] kyle6513: thats easy enough [00:41] kyle6513, or X over ssh? [00:41] alvareClrnD, again, the best thing I can give you is to mark them as badblocks, or pad the sector with zeros. Even if it takes forever [00:41] Solorvox: this drives come failing, and seagate denies it and erases threads that discuss this, so it's their fault, but it's still usable, I just have like 5-7 broken sectors [00:41] kyle6513, Secure VNC would also do the trick I suppose [00:41] darkhelmut, not exactly, i would give it a few torrents to work on while i was away, i just want to know how well its doing, and if its overheating it should tell me via sms, which i can set up if i tell it to send me a email when the temps are a tad high [00:41] if i took gparted and [00:41] er [00:41] If i took gparted and formated my linux partition to NTFS and merged it with my windows partition would it mess my Windows partition up or anything? [00:41] darkhelmut, i dont mind what i use, so long as it works :P [00:41] Solorvox: how would I mark them as badblocks without using "badblock" ? [00:42] alvareClrnD, I believe you, sometimes you just have to keep fighting with these companies to get it fixed. [00:42] what happens when you mount --bind a directory 2 times to different targets? and if that works, how can you unmount only a specific folder? [00:42] alvareClrnD, man badblocks, it talks about not using write (-w) but I think you may want to in this case [00:42] Anyone? ;y videos do look like this: http://bildites.lv/images/3vyp3p60agrj0l4efg3n.png [00:42] *my [00:43] if xp pro and ubuntu 9.01 are to be installed on the same system, which is better to install first? xp? [00:43] !gpsd [00:43] dath_ umount /dest/dir [00:43] Solorvox: yeah I said without using badblocks cause its slow as hell and its a 1TB hardisk [00:43] JoeSomebody: XP, windows rewrites the master boot record [00:43] !find gpsd [00:43] darkhelmut, so basically, i need to be able to monitor what it is doing while it downloads AND it should be able to send emails, using whatever client is needed, although this needs to be accessable through scripts [00:43] Found: fso-gpsd, geoclue-gpsd, gpsd, gpsd-clients, gpsd-dbg (and 3 others) [00:43] adac, change your hue setting [00:43] JoeSomebody, You will find XP will get grumpy if it the second choice. [00:43] kyle6513, do a google (sorry to throw you at google) for torrent scripts [00:44] Brenden``: be easier to delete the partition and grow the ntfs to fill the space [00:44] Hey, is there anybody who can help me with a wireless networking driver problem? [00:44] ok thanks guys, merry xmas too [00:44] darkhelmut, thats alright [00:44] anyone knows how can i display the data being received by a gps receiver in terminal? Can I use gpsd? [00:44] scott_ino2: affirmative; again, VPNs and various forms of connection sharing simply don't always play nice together [00:44] JoeSomebody: XP or it will wipe your boot sector [00:44] amelius, k will be back soon [00:45] Solorvox: thanks, bye [00:45] hello everone [00:45] Solorvox, yeah well I didn't modifiy them in first place.... [00:45] Solorvox: he was hard work [00:45] darkhelmut, the only previous experience i've had with ubuntu servers was when i was messing around with a program called webmin [00:45] i need a copy of the cursors used in my theme (clearlooks). where would i find the original image files? [00:45] adac, sometimes updates can change that on you. [00:46] anyone who can help me out of ubuntu-goblemenu-applet? [00:46] kyle6513: set up ubuntu desktop install openssh server log in with ssh username@server address -X and run what you want [00:46] Solorvox, I see. Well that is quite bad. Where can I change those values back? [00:46] Has anyone used tiling windows managers? I've been *trying* to use awesome3 but the configuration file is terrible to use, so I'm wondering if fvwm or something else is more sane. [00:47] kyle6513, Ubuntu server is far superior to windows server, definatley worth the trouble learning. [00:47] [19:45:23] Brenden``: be easier to delete the partition and grow the ntfs to fill the space [00:47] adac, Look for your video settings, you should change the hue, or color value [00:47] sorry my bnc lagged [00:47] S0LIDUS: fvwm isn't tiling [00:47] s0lidus, i know that, since its free :D [00:47] So just delete it and like use the thing in windows and just merge it? [00:47] Er, I mean like xmonad or something then [00:47] S0LIDUS: oops, that was for SaBot [00:47] blackest_knight1, yeah i can do that, but the problem is, what do i install? [00:47] Solorvox, You mean video settings directly within the player itself? [00:47] adac, Look under the video menu, I don't use miro so can't help ya [00:48] Brenden``: there is a gparted live cd available you might find it useful [00:48] adac, yes [00:48] kyle6513, Yeah plus Unix! ; ) [00:48] I am trying to understand some scripts! One such script has the following line $(RUNF77) $(FFLAGS) -o $*.exe m$*.o $(EXTOBJ) $*.a. now I understand everything except $*.exe, m$*.0 and $*.a. I know what * is for but not $. Any help would be appreciated. [00:48] s0lidus, always hated windows, but i was brought up on it so its so hard to jump to linux :< [00:48] liamo1: is that from a Makefile? [00:49] yes lstarnes [00:49] those are regular expressions, the $ stands for "begining of string"; [00:49] liamo1: I'm not entirely sure, but $* might refer to the full arguments of a particular target or something [00:49] kyle6513, I know that feeling. Its a bit like the matrix, you have to be freed! ;p [00:49] jcapinc: in a makefile? [00:49] can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless [00:49] Solorvox, And that is the common solution for an upgrade/update bug? [00:49] liamo1, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/othertypesv.html [00:50] but how can that be in m$*.ojcapinc [00:50] kyle6513: well you want a torrent client on the server so qbittorrent is one i like hmm you might have to use remote desktop or vnc to remote to your ubuntu server [00:50] adac, it happens sometimes, I wouldn't call it common. [00:50] I thought it was a shell script [00:50] kyle6513: i only use windows in vm's [00:50] Thanks Solorvox [00:50] I could be wrong, that is just what it looks like [00:50] liamo1, yw [00:50] blackest_knight1, Or the normal ssh! ;) [00:50] jcapinc: in a shell script, $* is the full arguments of the script or the current subroutine [00:50] hey guys. i used cd desktop and then sudo tar zxfv filename.tar.gz. how do i delete the file from the desktop now. some help please. im a noob [00:51] blackest_knight1, how about something like webmin? i was able to upload anything to my server from anywhere and i could monitor the hdd usage, although im not too sure the temprature was monitored [00:51] rm [00:51] mafia_; rm [00:51] !webmin [00:51] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [00:51] lstarnes, based on the context of the question, it did not look like that, it was '$*.exe' which looks to me like a regular expressiion [00:51] the normal ssh isn't going to be idle from windows and no X [00:52] sudo rm [filename] [00:52] kyle6513: the temperature is easy its given under /proc/ something [00:52] blackest_knight1, ah, i see qbittorrent has a remote server ability [00:52] kyle6513, Webmin is just another wasted process and it screws up your conf files! [00:52] S0LIDUS, ah okay, thanks :) [00:53] can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless [00:53] i have no sound: http://pastebin.com/m2686852b :: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [00:53] kyle6513: its more linux boxes you can ssh in and run the app remotely and display it locally [00:53] kyle6513, Its well worth using the server the way you should! [00:53] Solorvox, ok now I found out what to do. I don't like that either but well... So first you do in a terminal "gstreamer-properties" then you select the video tab and choose there "X window system (No Xv)". The you open vlc and go to extras -> preferences -> Video and then you choose "X11-Video-output" [00:54] i don't know of a cmdline bit torrent client [00:54] me neither [00:54] cTorrent? [00:54] adac, I wouldn't recommend doing it that way. XV is much faster the X11 for video [00:54] blackest_knight1, so should i install the server or the desktop version? this is a pretty old computer that im just throwing together about 5 days before i have to leave =/ [00:55] Solorvox, I see. Ok [00:55] adac, you just needed to change your video settings for the output driver you used in miro [00:55] blackest_knight1, The bittorrent client can be used in the terminal! [00:55] adac, so close miro, change it in vlc/media player/etc, then open it again. Should be fine after that [00:55] kyle6513: desktop as your not that experienced [00:55] blackest_knight1, have you looked into using cTorrent? [00:56] Solorvox, what is miro?? [00:56] Hi im an ubuntu novie trying to establish a music program to upload cds, listen to music on and be able to sync two ipods with...can anyone help me? [00:56] blackest_knight1, alright, i want to be able to manage this from any webbrowser on windows as thats what my laptop runs since this laptop is designed to run windows and all attempts with linux fail [00:56] kyle6513: ctorrent seems to be recommended [00:56] adac, or whatever the name of your video player is [00:56] blackest_knight1, would that be managed from the web? or atleast by using a windows prog? [00:57] Banshee [00:57] kyle6513: you could use telnet [00:57] blackest_knight1: there are several just do a search command line torrent linux [00:57] blackest_knight1, aslong as it works im fine [00:57] Solorvox, Ok i changed it back to automatic on "gstreamer-properties" [00:57] jolarem did sudo rm filename. gives me rm: cannot remove `etc': Is a directory [00:57] How can I play MP3s on Ubuntu.... Im clicking play in Rhytm box but it keeps loading doing nothing [00:57] micromachstick, someone recommends banshee [00:58] blackest_knight1, is there anything i would be able to use to send an email if anything goes wrong? [00:58] kyle6513, transmission offers a simple webui [00:58] [#ubuntu] sudo chmod a+r /var/www and but i get error, no file or directory, what's up? i sure have files there [00:58] etc/ looks like it is a directory, not a file [00:58] danopia, how simple? [00:58] oops [00:58] Tiders, Save yourself the agro and switch to FLAC! [00:58] you can add torrents, pause torrents, watch them [00:58] S0LIDUS, Huh? [00:58] kyle6513: your just going to have to get used to command line if your running windows ( or maybe qemu and a linux guest) [00:58] you can't download them; need to set up samba or such to acutally get the downloaded material === warlock is now known as warlock_ [00:59] hi guys, 1 question a friend of mine is able to make sudo chmod a+r /var/www and works but i get error, no file or directory, what's up? i sure have files there [00:59] Tiders, FLAC is far better than the outdated MP3! [00:59] S0LIDUS, Doesnt help me [00:59] m0rph1as: I've tried Banshee, Amarok, and Songbird..and the only one that i could get all my stuff done on was songbird. but it kept screwing up my ipod [00:59] danopia: or sshfs thats good :) [01:00] Tiders, No, just some advice for the future. ;) [01:00] blackest_knight1, i dont really mind if i use the command line, just so long as i can monitor it [01:00] S0LIDUS, Okay well do you know hwo to get things playing [01:00] Solorvox, Upgrding ubuntu seems never a good idea lately... [01:00] *Upgrading [01:00] micromachstick, i would try to seperate music management from ipod management for i remember when i had an ipod i used Songbird combined with something else [01:01] micromachstick, mind me asking, is it an old iPod or one of the newer ones? [01:01] adac, I hate to have to agree, 9.10 broke my digital tablet. :-/ [01:01] kyle6513: i'd set it up as desktop with openssh server and use telnet from your windows box [01:01] Tiders, I haven't had any probs with rythmbox. Are you using an LTS? [01:01] S0LIDUS, 9.04 [01:01] m0rph1as: I have an old nano..but my main ipod is two weeks old a Classic..so brand new yeah [01:01] kyle6513, You could use the watch command! [01:01] blackest_knight1, alright, how would i go about the emailing dillemma? or should i just try what you've said for now [01:01] S0LIDUS, watch command? [01:02] theres something new for managing music on ipod and linux [01:02] Tiders, Sorry but I cant help you there... [01:02] Tiders: run it from the console and check output [01:02] stick with what you have for now [01:02] M0rph1as, i could get songbird to acknowledge the ipod if i completely wiped it everytime i plugged it in, and then it would even allow me to sync it..but then it would only play the first four seconds of each song over and over [01:02] blackest_knight1, alright [01:02] some help please .i have some files on my desktop that i cant delete. they are under root. i used in terminal: sudo tar zxfv filename.tar.gz [01:02] Tiders: this usually means there are no plugins for gstreamer installed [01:02] <_Pb> what programming/console font do you guys use? [01:02] Solorvox, I actually hate to say this too :( Well In the future i will do a fresh new install instead of upgrading. It caused too much trouble this time [01:02] yep that sounds familiar micromachstick ... [01:03] kyle6513, watch can be used in the terminal to view program or hardware states. Its very usefull. [01:03] ... hmm [01:03] S0LIDUS, and i could do this remotely, yes? [01:03] argh! any ideas what kinda programs at all might be better for ipod updates?

I get an error when I login to the 2.16.31.16-generic [01:07] adac, well, broke support for it. It used to work great in 9.04. 9.10 either crashes the system, (X crashes) or just doesn't work at all. [01:07] i used sabots ways worked thank guys [01:08] Solorvox, Ahh ok support broken, I see. Hmm what device do you use If I may ask? [01:08] adac, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008 [01:09] Solo was this response to my boot issue?? [01:10] Solorvox, oh I see! I can understand that must very sad not be able to use it anymore :( [01:11] Solorvox, So is this a bug obviously or did they completely suspend the support on that tablet? [01:11] does anyone now a good site with all the ubuntu 9.10 terminal command? will come in handy for me to learn thanks [01:11] newbie to gnome here again, how do i change the gdm theme? [01:12] Solorvox tried sudo gimp ? [01:12] adac, Hard to say, as the tablet worked before with just evdev support (no drivers), but with the new hal setup, not sure how they plan on working on it. [01:13] blackest_knight1, read the bug report, I changed mod on the input event, didn't work. [01:13] mafia_: http://google.com/search?q=bash+commands [01:13] how to I check the version of Ubuntu installed?

[01:17] my new years resolution [01:17] very well, my touchpad has a scroll bar next to it, if I enable edge scrolling it works, but so does scrolling at the edge of the touchpad [01:17] is to go pure linux [01:17] nomore windows =) [01:17] good [01:17] that's nice, I guess ImJJames :) [01:17] ummm I have adobe flash...is there more I need?

[01:28] solorvox, but after that, if it shuts down and starts back up, will it do that again once it gets to that time again without any further input? [01:28] jollyroger_: that could get interesting try aptitude install see if it figures a good compromise [01:28] Sattvic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia === Seeker is now known as Seeker` [01:28] blakkheim: thanks [01:29] blakkheim, the command i have is ~/Desktop$ sh hplip-3.9.12.run can i just type in documents instead of desktop and it work [01:29] kyle6513, no, that will only shut down if it's 10:00 (2200) There is no way to keep it shut down if someone turns it back on after 2200 [01:29] solorvox, how about the next day at 2200?

[01:30] airwalker, does the laptop go into standby when you close the lid? [01:30] how can I change refesh rate manually through terminal? [01:30] When I try to run 9.10 on the live cd, I get the message: video mode not supported. What should I do? [01:30] Solorvox, yep thats what i plan on doing ^-^ === john is now known as Guest83757 [01:31] airwalker: its suspending due to the event find out why [01:31] Anyone here willing to help with troubleshooting connecting to my wired network? [01:31] quick question, when I try to burn a cd from mp3 files in brasero, it says (filename).mp3 is not suitable for audio or video media, I think I have to install a mp3 code...which one is it? [01:31] screwy, type ifconfig in a terminal [01:31] I did [01:31] Screwy, whats the output? pastebin it. [01:31] @kyle no it's supposed to just lock the screen [01:32] airwalker, does it do this === sean is now known as Guest47960 [01:33] @kyle dunno [01:33] no one has any ideas on why my new install 9.10 freezes on gnome but not failsafe gnome????? [01:33] @kyle it seems to just umount the drive [01:33] I'm currently connected to my desktop through my wired connection. Would I need to disconnect and plug into my laptop (running Ubuntu) to get the right information on ifconfig? [01:33] airwalker, would be helpful if you could find that out, upon opening the lid to your laptop do you have to press a key or does the screen immediately come back? [01:34] Can anyone help with this please? Could not open location 'file:///home/xxx No application is registered as handling this file [01:34] because failsafe is failsafe, it will not fail, and gnome is not [01:34] It seems my Ethernet reads the PC Link, but it's not connecting automatically on Ubuntu. [01:34] daves111, could be video driver (ATI?) or ACPI problem [01:34] Screwy, yes, if your laptop is the malfunctioning computer [01:34] LinUX, what are you trying to open? [01:34] shazbotmcnasty any ideas why? [01:34] I'm sorry, I really have no idea. [01:34] How old is the install? [01:34] ok, thanks anyway [01:34] Screwy, atm i'm just trying to figure out if its your ip configs being messed up [01:34] @kyle the screen's there immediately [01:34] just did it again [01:35] did you mess with ~/.profiles ? [01:35] amelius, well... my network didn't like all that fiddling :) [01:35] shazbotmcnasty, when I try to open foders under "Places" on the panel I get that error? [01:35] airwalker, doesnt seem to be going into standby [01:35] it worked with previous version [01:35] no, don't think so [01:35] Shouldn't the wired connection connect automatically when connected to the Ethernet? [01:35] any one know the command for moving a file from documents to desktop [01:35] airwalker, when you go back into ubuntu is the hdd unmounted? [01:35] Do you have your video card drivers installed? [01:35] preecher type "man mv" [01:35] @daves111 [01:36] @ daves111 [01:36] in terminal [01:36] Screwy, yeah it should, what are you attempting to connect your laptop to? [01:36] is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar? [01:36] @kyle no just the usb hd [01:36] yes, I think so; it will open to desktop then shorty will freeze [01:36] ok so weird I just f11 firefox [01:36] for fullscreen mode [01:36] and flicker stops [01:36] ... [01:36] Just my wired ethernet connection that I'm currently connected to. My desktop has no trouble connecting. [01:36] airwalker, thats what i was talking about, is the usb hdd unmounted [01:37] nevermind [01:37] lol [01:37] its back [01:37] kyle, yes [01:37] Screwy, does this wired ethernet connection head to a router or? [01:37] ImJJames, you have the appropriate video card drivers installed right? [01:37] shazbotmcnasty ... yes, I think so; it will open to desktop then shorty will freeze [01:37] shazbotmcnasty, Any Ideas? [01:37] airwalker, seems that it's recieving a signal to be unmounted, do you have a sort of usb key? [01:37] Yes [01:37] scott_ino2: your ISP blocking everything but the router? [01:37] i think so [01:37] how can I tell [01:37] lol [01:38] LinUX, actually, let me google it - is what you put in here, the exact error message? [01:38] kyle, no [01:38] Screwy, yes, i'm attempting to find out if the router is assigning your laptop a proper ip address [01:38] ok what weirder is when I run fluxbox session [01:38] You should msg me the exact error message, but I have to be right back, because one of the dogs shit in the house [01:38] no flicker [01:38] until I open firefos [01:38] sorry for the language [01:38] amelius, i don't think so.... think it just didnt like how it had to keep resolving ips... [01:38] firefox than flicker starts again [01:38] I used to dual boot with Vista, but I just formatted that partition, how do I increase the size of the ubuntu partition, so that my hard drive only has one? [01:39] shazbotmcnasty, Yes it is, and ive been "googling" for 3 days without success :( [01:39] airwalker, any usb devices that can be mounted with files on it? such as an mp3 player? [01:39] kyle, what are you aiming at? [01:39] how can i set refresh rate manually [01:39] LadyLynn, sudo gparted [01:39] well actually, you should do that live. [01:39] Do you have a USB stick? [01:39] @ LadyLynn === ari_stress is now known as pendekar_virtual [01:39] kyle yes offcourse [01:39] airwalker, seeing if it is just that specific drive that decides to disconnect, if it does, it could be something to do with the encryption [01:39] shazbot, I don't have the option to resize the partition [01:39] LadyLynn: hi with gparted [01:40] you have to delete the second partition, then resize the existing partition over the unallocated part of the HDD [01:41] scott_ino2: if it's not feasible to temporarily go around the router, have someone fiddle with its settings: some of them have various helper functions for VPN stuff, not all of which are equally helpful ;) [01:41] LadyLynn: trouble is your using the partition you want to resize so get gparted live cd boot it and resize [01:41] I use a rca thomson dcm425. [01:41] but you want to do that live, because you have to unmount the drive to do so, you can't run gparted on an unmounted hgdd partition [01:41] all @ LadyLynn [01:41] cable modem. [01:41] amelius, yeah I'm looking into that now, got the dd-wrt guys assisting me [01:42] easier to just have two partitions? [01:42] Screwy, yes, but in order to grab information off the router the laptop needs to ask the router for its ip address, unless you are using static ip's? [01:42] i need help expanding my ubunutu partition [01:42] can someone please help me? [01:42] is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar? [01:42] amelius, im still not convinced it's not my ISP though :) [01:42] The router is the cable modem, right? Or not? [01:42] New to all of this. [01:42] LadyLynn: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [01:43] Screwy, uh sorry used the wrong word :P but yes i was talking about the cable modem [01:43] scott_ino2: or the VPN service [01:43] hi [01:43] Okay. Can I get the ip adress while on my desktop? [01:43] Screwy, pretty sure you can, are you running linux or windows? [01:43] who knows how to expand ubuntu's partition? [01:43] Windows [01:44] amelius, true, however I tried them a few months ago without issue... [01:44] nameo0: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [01:44] but that was on intrepid [01:44] Screwy, okay do you know how to grab that info? [01:44] Nope [01:44] Screwy, alright, go to start > run and in there type cmd [01:45] Screwy, when a black window pops up do ipconfig then go to pastebin and paste the results and send me the link [01:46] i have a question...i am trying to dual/triple boot with windows 7 & xp and ubuntu...i tried following the intructions in the forum but I get stuck at one point...after the boot loader is eaten up by installing windows 7 I try to boot ubunutu back with the cd but it boots to the live version and not the one installed in the hard drive and thus when try to "find /boot/grub/stage1" in grub it error [01:46] blackest_knight1, alright i have an ubuntu desktop freshly installed, what do i do now?

[02:05] installing meta util [02:05] holdodn [02:05] jeremey; but hey, it's all free to try it out. I really dislike irssi [02:05] jeremey, I think you should use xchat [02:05] there u og [02:05] go* [02:05] jolaren, be back in a bit, let me konw how it goes [02:05] irssi is in terminal, and a bit harder to use [02:05] ive used xchat on windows, thanks jolaren, thanks blakkheim, ill chek that out. brb [02:05] pidgin is terrible, but xchat is all around good in my opinion [02:05] jeremey; there's also a client called konversation that's quite nice [02:05] jeremey, to get it 'sudo apt-get install xchat' to get it [02:06] jolaren: and pointless if someone isn't using kde [02:06] or in 9.10 you have to go into synaptic and make universe repos usable [02:06] DaZ; Oh, it's kde. Long time no use [02:06] jolaren: does the "k" not give it away? [02:07] xorg.conf [02:07] where is it [02:07] blakkheim; Not really. Konversation in Swedish means to talk to someone "Conversation" in English..

[02:20] Ookami; fax* [02:21] micromachstick, which ipod? some are supported with rhythmbox [02:21] to do that open rhythmbox 'edit>plugins>ipod thingy [02:21] micromachstick, any of those programs should work providing you have the ipod support package [02:21] jolaren, i would ,, i don't have a "phone line" where i am now ,, and i want to avoid the extra expenses of sending and receiving [02:21] blackest_knight1: no, i thought of that but no. Just no sound. Rhythmbox works fine [02:21] bazhang, i have the latest generation of ipod classic and an old nano [02:21] brodeurpc: sudo aptitude install gparted [02:22] Ookami: without a phone line there nothing left but an online fax service.. [02:22] scott_ino2 i got fed up with amarok, banshee wouldn't play mp3s..Songbird has worked perfectly except when i sync my ipod with it, it'll only play the first 4 seconds of song repeatedly [02:22] Ookami; like scunizi said.. without a phoneline you need an online fax service [02:22] micromachstick, this is karmic? I have a nano and a mini that can sync fine, not tried with the latest 'classic' though [02:22] scunizi, got that ,, but is there a "internet to fax" .. or i just manually print out things ? [02:23] Ookami; You probarly get them as .pdfs but I don't know [02:23] bazhang: yeah it is. as said I can get it to sync with songbird..but it does this odd four-second revert thing [02:23] OOkami its just email really [02:23] Ookami: the online service will allow you to generate a document on your computer and email it to a special address that will then "fax" it to the number it's suppose to go to. [02:23] micromachstick, well by default nothing in ubuntu will play mp3s, are you certain you had the nonfree-extras package installed first? [02:23] how do i copy files in chroot soutside to external hard drive when i am in chroot it my hdd is not recognized [02:23] micromachstick: try using banshee, its a lot nicer than rhythmbox [02:23] can someone recommend a fireplace screensaver to me? [02:24] poningru; There's a really nice bluray one on tpb [02:24] thanks guys .. i got it ^^ but ,, what do those "fax programs" do ? ? [02:24] jolaren, tpb?

Isn't linux all about legal sharing? [02:25] blackest_knight1: I tried going to configure, and the playback sound devices won't sound when I press test?? [02:26] blackest_knight1 .. thanks man [02:26] jolaren, thepiratebay bluray is not legal. please stop.

You could get it from otherplaces but torrents are more convienient [02:26] jolaren: the ops are very touchy about any of that stuff u cant even tell jokes with out getting a stern talking to better watch ur step [02:26] !offtopic jolaren [02:26] thepiratebay is meant for legal sharing, but it's abused with videos and music, and other stuff [02:27] !offtopic | jolaren [02:27] jolaren: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

But hey, end of discussion [02:28] uhhh isn't that also offtopic poningru?? [02:28] poningru: gnomelook [02:28] scott_ino2, it is an ubuntu support question so... no [02:28] blackest_knight1, looked there but no luck [02:28] poningru: don't install screensavers that come packaged (as deb etc) or if you have to type root password to install it. [02:29] vajorie, yeah I saw that [02:29] :p [02:29] I guess it goes for all .debs [02:29] blackest_knight1, thank you [02:29] poningru: you can't install a deb without password [02:30] if you want the fireplace for strictly being able to view it, there's an HD video of a fireplace on youtube [02:30] can anyone help me out with the sound in amarok?? [02:30] Whats a .apt? Is that the newer version of a .deb package? [02:30] but... if you actually want it as a screensaver then i don't know, best i can do. [02:30] ok anyone know how to copy a file in chroot to an external hard drive? [02:30] ubuntu is an ancient african word meaning "i dont know how to configure debian" [02:30] are there alternatives for ipod updating aside from amarok/songbird/banshee? [02:31] micromachstick, they all use the same package as far as i know [02:31] micromachstick: you could put rockbox on the ipod :) [02:31] ubuntards [02:31] dios_mio, did you have a support question? chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , NOT here [02:31] dios_mio: almost as ancient as that joke [02:31] scott_ino2 that frustrates me to no end lol. i've been at this for two weeks [02:31] blakkheim, lol [02:31] !rockbox | micromachstick [02:31] micromachstick: rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio.

It's extremely frustrating however [02:35] micromachstick, honestly I'd try and get one of the guys on the libgtkpod mailing list or something, i know it sucks, again sorry, but i know many many people have gotten it working without issue so you should be able to.

[02:57] kyle6513: I can't give you a step by step but you'll have to edit the grub menu kernel line by adding noapic or apic=off or something similar [02:57] it's acpi, not apic [02:57] scunizi, what file do i have to edit there? [02:57] kyle6513: or .. are you just trying to get the live cd to boot? [02:58] !grub2 | kyle6513 [02:58] kyle6513: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[03:11] I am using 9.04 64bit and cannot get sound without using the kernel that came with the disc , would someone know what is the cause of this issue or have a link to a thread for this issues ? please ? [03:11] heya.

[03:12] fuzzy_, are you attempting to install off a usb key? [03:12] well, i know how to mount the iso, and copy, but i need it to boot [03:12] kyle6513, yes [03:12] fuzzy_, or is it more, running xp off the usb [03:12] kyle6513: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/difference-between-noapic-and-acpioff-kernel-parameters-454675/ [03:13] Help, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and EVGA 9800GTX+ connected to my Vizio 37" but it looks like about 20-30 pixels is cut off (i.e. the task bar is unviewable) what can I do to fix this "resolution" problem? [03:13] no, just making the usb act as a CD, as im on a netbook without a cd-rom and only running ubuntu atm [03:13] blackest_knight1: that does not solve the issue .. this seems to be some sort of bug or sound card setting hang ... and i cannot figure out the issue via cli [03:13] fuzzy, you need to use a program to make it bootable [03:13] fuzzy unetbootin will set you up [03:14] where can I get some a;ternative kernels for Ubuntu 9.10? [03:14] blackest_knight1, didnt think unetbootin worked for xp isos [03:14] st__: kernel.org [03:14] !install | fuzzy_ this should show you some options [03:14] fuzzy_ this should show you some options: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[03:15] but unetbootin can still work with xp i believe, as long as you have the iso downloaded [03:15] should be the second option once you start it [03:15] i have nVidia 9600 and ViewSonic VA712 LCD, but for some reason i don't have the right resolutions [03:15] Help, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and EVGA 9800GTX+ connected to my Vizio 37" but it looks like about 20-30 pixels is cut off (i.e. the task bar is unviewable) what can I do to fix this "resolution" problem? Updating drivers to manufacturers drivers is not helping... [03:15] yeah, i selected iso and found the iso on the drive [03:15] are you laughing at me? kernel.org is the sources archive, ffs i would need it? [03:16] fuzzy_: I know but you're wanting to install off a usb key right? [03:16] localg0d: ubuntu mutes audio by default on installing new kernel [03:16] RandomizeR, do you have a similar problem to me? [03:16] firefitrwife, thanks anyways, im gonna try and see how it works =) [03:16] k3b seems to work [03:16] thanks, name-that-scrolled-off who suggested it [03:16] scunizi, yes, a XP iso on a usb stick [03:16] best i could get is 1024x768, but monitor works with 1280x1024 [03:16] i'll see if i can find the other one for you [03:16] hello, i'm looking for support for jaunty studio x86 can't get my pro/wireless agn 5100 card to work. says the radio killswitch is on when i know it isn't [03:16] Maletor, no, actually, everything is viewable but max resolution is 1024x768 [03:16] fuzzy_: oh.. on it's own partition? or in a vm? [03:16] blackest_knight1: i don't have it muted .. but is there some where i should check other than volume control ? [03:17] ah fuzzy, take the ISO off of it before you make it bootable [03:17] <^Ocean^> can dd be used to write a norton ghost image to a disk ? [03:17] scunizi, a physical usb stick =) to do a "cd-rom replace" [03:17] localg0d: tried alsamixer in a terminal ? [03:17] where can I get some a;ternative kernels for Ubuntu 9.10? [03:17] for me it seems the problem is something with the EDID [03:17] st__: compile your own [03:17] fuzzy_: looks like firefitrwife has got you going in the right direction. good luck [03:17] firefitrwife, what do you mean? [03:18] could it be because my nvidia outputs HDMI and the LCD is analog connected with adapter? [03:18] ciao a tutti [03:18] thanks anyway scunizi =) [03:18] anyone? [03:18] help anyone? [03:18] unet needs to find the iso off your HD not the usb stick [03:18] why the hell i should compile it myself?! id ont have corresponding resources [03:18] move it off there first, then have unet find it [03:19] st__: why do you want an alterative kernel? [03:19] because the current kernel is 90MB monster [03:19] yeah, i got the iso on my hdd, not on the usb =) [03:19] st__: then.. like i said, compile your own. use only what you need for your hardware and it will be much smaller. [03:20] oh i though you said it was on the usb, my bad === redy_adi is now known as f32 [03:20] can Pulse Audio be removed without breaking ubuntu? [03:20] blakkheim: and how am I supposed to update it then? [03:21] xrandr: yes [03:21] anyone? [03:21] st__: that's up to you [03:21] blakkheim: is there a guide to do this? or just use Synaptic? [03:21] xrandr: just remove the pulseaudio stuff, you can use synaptic if you need it [03:21] second issue. is it possible to use a virtual machine (virtualbox) or similar, to exactly clone my computer to be used in a virtual enviroment? [03:22] my netbook has compablility issues in moblin, ubuntu moblin remix and ubuntu netbook remix [03:22] blakkheim: using synaptic it wants to remove ubuntu desktop [03:22] xrandr: and? [03:22] so i was hoping to set up a virtual enviroment that is a mirror off my netbook, so i can troubleshoot within a working ubuntu 9.04 [03:22] blakkheim: then i lose the desktop, don't i? [03:23] im trying to encrypt my whole HDD using truecrypt but It isn't showing the option to encrypt a system partition how do I go about doing this? [03:23] xrandr: no [03:23] fuzzy_: vmware has a program that will create a vm file of an existing install of windows.. it can then be used in vmware or imported into virtualbox.. however once installed in the vm it will need to be activated with MS and the other stand a lone install will no longer work because it won't be "validated" [03:23] fuzzy i havent tried unr on my netbook, i just run regular ubuntu on it [03:23] ssh client by default is installed right? [03:23] dsdeiz: should be [03:24] got it thanks.. [03:24] fuzzy_: if you want to clone the install so you can put it back later.. use clonezilla, partimage to do that [03:24] im trying to encrypt my whole HDD using truecrypt but It isn't showing the option to encrypt a system partition how do I go about doing this? [03:25] scunizi, i think youre misunderstanding. =) [03:25] im having trouble with 3 netbook distros. (linux) [03:25] fuzzy_: k.. where do I have it wrong? [03:26] fuzzy_: what does your netbook run? windows. linux? [03:26] and instead of running live cd's and installing and rebooting all the time to switch OS, i want to use my working ubuntu 9.04. then with the use of a virtual enviroment "clone" my hardware [03:26] im running ubuntu 9.04 now [03:27] because its my wifi card that is giving me the biggest headache. [03:27] i'm running 9.1 on my netbbok. No hardware issues. picked up wifi no problem [03:27] Does anyone know good secure encryption software for ubuntu? I can't use Truecrypt as it wont work [03:27] for some reason, my wifi is fully working in UBNBR 9.10, but not in ubuntu moblin remix [03:27] fuzzy_: well.. with a vm you can't clone your hardware.. just your software. the VM utilizes it's own "hardware emulation" of various types. [03:28] scunizi, oh, thats a bummer [03:28] have you tried running a non "netbook" spun version? [03:28] yes, im running ubuntu 9.04 desktop now [03:28] works awesome [03:29] but the netbook editions are updated and optimized for netbook chipsets etc. [03:29] Hey everyone. I'm trying to connect to my ubuntu machine in windows using the host name. I can connect and view shared folders if I use the assigned ip address, but not the host name. [03:29] so i want to use any of the netbook releases [03:29] optimized in what way? [03:29] fuzzy_: kubuntu has a netbook version I just read about the other day. you might look for and try that [03:30] blakk, i think it optomizes the screen space, not sure [03:30] blakkheim: for a netbook's smaller screen (not really "optimized" but anyway) [03:30] and some other aspects [03:30] blakkheim, as far as i know, its optimized for the atom processor, and its speedstep automatic overclocking [03:30] but i've heard a number of people just go back to desktop versions for their netbooks and are happier [03:30] powersaving etc [03:30] fuzzy_: let me ask you this: does it use different repos than regular ubuntu? [03:31] abel408: add the computer names to /etc/hosts [03:31] blakkheim: same repos [03:31] fuzzy_: then it is just the same i386, generic, UNoptimized binaries [03:31] blakkheim: maybe different kernel, not sure [03:31] blakkheim: the most noticeable thing is that it is set up to run all apps fullscreen [03:31] no floating windows [03:31] maximus yay... [03:31] well maybe ubuntu, but not moblin [03:31] netbook "remixes" aren't going to run the same apps any faster at all [03:32] from moblin.org : on building a Linux-based platform optimized for the next generation of mobile devices including Netbooks, Mobile Internet Devices [03:32] blakkheim: it's possible that theur out of the box settings may be different, their kernels may be different (smaller and optimized for atom et al), fonts fixed, window sizes fixed etc [03:32] blakkheim: nope.. they're just tuning the windowing behavior, app switcher & desktop launcher for a smaller screen. Did a bloody good job of it in ubuntu netbook remix, I might add.... [03:33] then.. i found Ubuntu moblin remix. which is built on ubuntu, with the GUI from moblin === _newbie_ is now known as RussellAlan [03:33] vajorie: all possible. i was just saying that thinking the binaries in a netbook version are any different is wrong. [03:34] if you want things optimized for your processor, you're going to want to look into something like gentoo [03:34] blakkheim, another thing with the netbook remixes are simplified "desktops" [03:34] abel408: just follow the conventions used in the file. If you have a computer named ubuntudesktop, add '192.168.2.10 ubuntudesktop' to your other machine's hosts file. [03:34] not my thing, but people trying to veer away from MS that havent used linux before like them becuse of their accessability [03:34] blakkheim its said that the driver support is the same in ubuntu 9.10 and netbook remix 9.10\ [03:35] which is great. but there is some (known) issues with msi wind u100 and ubuntu 9.10 [03:35] firefitrwife: i agree, i like a regular desktop on my netbook (openbox or awesome) [03:35] i'm not gonna lie, it was a good idea on their part for the masses looking for a free alternative [03:36] abel408: Did you get any of what I said? [03:36] WHOOOO, my new phone's mobile broadband feature works out of the box under Ubuntu =D [03:36] issue: i can only boot up via recovery mode, drop to a shell and login, then do a sudo gdm start which takes me to regular graphical login screen, after i login (again) then system works as normal. [03:36] blakkheim, heres the catch. my wifi works flawless in ubuntu netbook remix, but my brightness flickers. in ubuntu moblin remix, my screen doesnt flicker, but my wifi doesnt work [03:36] Who needs a script or something written. Im bored [03:37] fuzzy_: and what about regular ubuntu? [03:37] ubuntu moblin remix finds my wifi card, finds wifi networks, but cant connect to them [03:37] but back to the matter at hand... i don't think UNR has beter battery life from what i've heard. and i don't think theres a huge difference in the footprint [03:37] blakkheim, same with regular 9.10 [03:37] EastDallas: Yes thank you. But I need a way to resolve the host name even when the ip changes [03:37] abel408: whats the problem? [03:38] abel408: from outside your lan? [03:38] fuzzy what does it tell you? [03:38] hello!could anyone please help me?got a malicious code on my hdd on sector 0.how may I vipe out completely? [03:38] abel408, unfortunately, WINS doesn't really work that well unless you assign a static IP, so it's about the same either way. [03:38] firefitrwife, it just says "connection failed" [03:38] Hi, I haven’t been able to successfully get my wired Ethernet connection to be detected. I’ve Installed Ubuntu 9.1 on a Thinkpad T42 2378-FZU. [03:38] unity24: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda [03:38] unity24: how did you get this code? [03:38] High: what does ifconfig -a say? [03:39] Is there an eth0 ? === _ged_ is now known as _ged [03:39] jsoft: he's trying to resolve host names for samba [03:39] has anyone here used opensuse 11.1? [03:39] EastDallas: oh. [03:39] EastDallas: I find samba related things a mission [03:39] hmm i'm not sure 9.1 never gave me issues with that. is it secured? [03:39] ImJJames: probably.. but this isn't the place for questions on it [03:40] firefitrwife, yes, tried both secured and unsecured [03:40] jsoft: I'm trying to connect to my shared directories on my ubuntu machine from windows machines using it's dns name rather than ip address. The reason being is because this ubuntu machine will be going on another family network and I want to tell the to connect to \\media rather than figuring out what subnet their network is on and telling them to connect to \\192.168.1.13 [03:40] no j/w [03:40] planning to switch to it [03:40] using xubunut atm [03:40] well,I erased all of my hdd.possibly it is a rootkit.everybody laughs on me,if tell my story,that have a hacker attack via wifi. [03:40] jsoft: It's been my experience that WINS support is spotty at best with dynamic IPs, so I just assign a static IP and add it to /etc/hosts. [03:40] maybe that will fix my screen flickering [03:40] lol [03:40] sorry dog knocked out the powercord to my router [03:40] abel408: cant help sorry :| [03:40] firefitrwife, yes, tried both secured and unsecured [03:40] what is the major differnce from opensuse and xubuntu? [03:41] hello, i'm looking for support for jaunty studio x86 can't get my pro/wireless agn 5100 card to work. says the radio killswitch is on when i know it isn't [03:41] ImJJames: the flicker is most likely because of your video driver or refresh rate on your monitor [03:41] I really want to use pcman as my default file manager. Any way to do this? [03:41] sqp: Doh :| Well mine works, what laptop is it> [03:42] sorry fuzzy [03:42] can ubuntu 7.04 be installed on sata? help me please [03:42] i goin to boot with damn small linux and try that.thank you so much! [03:42] agusj: I dont see why not [03:42] abel408: You can add the line wins support = yes to your /etc/samba/smb.conf and see if that works [03:42] agusj: why such an old version [03:42] i know.. its just that it only gives me one refresh rate option which is 60mhz [03:42] I want to use kernel 2.6.18 [03:43] agusj: 7.04 is !eol [03:43] try resetting the modem and router. my desktop (yes its wireless) used to give me that problem [03:43] I got problem install on new sata drive [03:43] live cd cannot work [03:44] abel408: It might be a little sporadic if you're using a dynamic IP. You'll also want to add the line 'wins server = the ip address of the machine with wins support = yes' to any other linux machines on the network. [03:44] i need a copy of the cursors used in my theme (clearlooks). where would i find the original image files? [03:44] jsoft: hp dv4 [03:44] agusj: what is not working?

[03:46] must I make partition first from windows? [03:46] zoug: how do i do that? [03:46] EastDallas: Ok, Thanks! [03:46] abel408: you'll also want to add this line to smb.conf: 'name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast'. If it already exists, just put wins at the beginning.

Thx ahead of itim === bryan is now known as Guest23179 [04:17] !lamp | MashaIvanova [04:17] MashaIvanova: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:18] you can install LAMP [04:18] it works! good bye!

[04:22] its been doing it for awhile [04:22] apn: So what do i run it with? [04:23] digitalaxis, many ways. the way nr. 1. open the terminal where the file is, and run "sh nameofthefile.run" [04:23] returns command not found [04:23] first it was permission denied then i ran sudo and it says /path/to/file: command not found [04:24] <_Techie_> how to fix the bug in karmic where USB devices dont always start at boot? [04:24] Maletor: replace /path/to/file with the actual path [04:24] Maletor, chmod +x path/to/file.run; sudo path/to/file.run [04:24] so type "run digitalaxis/teamspeak3-client-linux-x86-3.0.0-beta1.run" [04:24] digilink, yes [04:24] thanks for the help. l8r [04:25] digilink, unless you are in the same directory as *run file, then type sh teamspeak3-client-linux-x86-3.0.0-beta1.run [04:25] !u | Belinrahs [04:25] Belinrahs, please see my private message [04:25] apn, digilink - be sure this .run file is a shell script first eh.

(which is in terminal) which i select then the program opens and everything works fine, now.. my question is how do u make it automatically choose terminal when it opens to run, and how can you do so without having to see the terminal window? thanks in advanced :) [04:26] hi ppl [04:26] can anyone help with a ubuntu problem [04:26] LOL who's blocking who?

[04:30] <_Techie_> some of my USB devoces arent being detected at boot [04:30] Belinrahs: i think its intel on board (im using a laptop) [04:31] _Techie_, not being detected, as dmesg, lspci, lsusb is not saying anything about them? [04:31] okay found out the problem [04:31] lb36t: Hold for a sec. I'm investigating [04:31] xubuntu installed wrong graphic card drivers [04:31] Belinrahs: Thank you [04:31] how do I change it [04:31] i downloaded the drivers thats needed [04:31] hi. is there a low battery alarm for ubuntu? i have a laptop that id like to know when the power cable is unpluged. i did a google with no real results. [04:32] and extracted contents to folder [04:32] Son of a ...... it's still showing an underscan [04:32] <_Techie_> apn, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m599c5c7f before and after it detects, usualy detects after 10 mins to half an hour [04:32] but NVIDIA X Server Settings says driver version is 190.53 [04:32] Maletor: did you reboot [04:32] yes [04:32] apn: Still wont work, there any programs i can run it with? [04:33] digitalaxis, no. what does it say? [04:33] !resolution | lb36t [04:33] lb36t: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [04:33] I wanted to backup my home folder.. and install u9.10.. but when i copy.. it does not copy it does not copy everything.. how can i copy the entire home folder to another location over the server [04:33] lb36t: try the link there, has some good info [04:33] apn: cannot access '/home/digitalaxis/desktop/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.0-beta5.run' :No such file or directory [04:33] sleepy_cat: look up rsync [04:33] what is the command in ubuntu for ipconfig ? [04:33] Maletor: ok on the nvidia settings main window on the left there is a white window on the bottom it has your monitors is the tv there? [04:33] Belinrahs: ok let me try that and get back to you, thanks! [04:33] sleepy_cat you can use netcat. [04:34] <_Techie_> friendishan, ifconfig [04:34] lb36t: no problem [04:34] ifconfig or iwconfig [04:34] sleepy_cat: usually rsync -av /source /destination [04:34] yes [04:34] _techie_ i will try [04:34] i went to GPU 0 [04:34] and set overscan compensation to 100 [04:34] :( [04:34] and everything seems to be ok [04:34] is this the right thing to do? [04:34] Maletor: right click it once [04:34] digitalaxis, Desktop, not desktop [04:35] vajorie: how does rsync work.. i mean now i am running a live session can i tranfer the entire home folder onto a location over ssh? [04:35] sleepy_cay that would be scp [04:35] Maletor: when you move the slider does the window get bigger? [04:35] apn: still doesnt work [04:36] ctmjr, yes it expands so everything is in view [04:36] digitalaxis, what's the error? [04:36] i couldn't find the TV to right click [04:36] sleepy_cat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238672 [04:36] apn: Same [04:36] hi. is there a low battery alarm for ubuntu? i have a laptop that id like to know when the power cable is unpluged. i did a google with no real results. [04:37] Yes [04:37] There is, its a little text box in the corner of your screen [04:37] Maletor: how many monitors do you have connected and how many are on the list? [04:37] Belinrahs: just tried the xrandr command in terminal and it tells me it cant find the output [04:37] michaelhoward78: System > Preferences > Power Management > General tab [04:37] I belive it tells you at 10% or 15% [04:37] i just have the vizio 37" and it says just X Screen 0 [04:37] sorry, i ment an audiable alarm. [04:37] Belinrahs: I tried xrandr --addmode S-video 1024x768 [04:37] No not my default [04:38] not by* [04:38] setting overscan compensation to 100 and image sharpening to 127 seems to be a temp. fix... [04:38] Belinrahs: any ideas? [04:38] lb36t: because you aren't using S-video. you have to change it to be appropriate to your setup, most likely VGA instead of S-video [04:38] Dangit Ubuntu upgrade is takin forever lol 1587 more files to download :( [04:38] Belinrahs: i tried that too [04:38] lb36t: try xrandr --addmode VGA 1024x768 [04:38] Maletor: not a temp fix that is the fix [04:38] lb36t: ok [04:39] ctmjr, that is a strange fix... why won't it work out of box correctly? [04:39] michaelhoward78: i tried with sudo scp sleepycat@myipaddress:/home/sleepycat otherhost@hisipaddress:/home/name/mybackupfolder [04:39] Purpley is there some shell commands to check the batt? i can make a shell script if there is. [04:39] Belinrahs: sorry i did it said "cannot find output" "VGA" [04:39] but it does not work [04:39] michaelhoward78: yes. someone mentionied it the other day.. I think acpi -b [04:39] lb36t: run "lspci | grep VGA" from terminal, tell me output [04:40] thank you Izinucs [04:40] _Techie_, what device it is? [04:40] ok im almost done.. this program runs perfect now only thing is when i open it i get the "do u want to run, or display its contents dialog" what code do i use just auto run guys? [04:40] michaelhoward78: did that work? [04:40] Maletor: do not know nvidia and ati both have been like that for awhile just be glad you have an nvidia card ati has no easy fix for it [04:40] Is there a version of Ubuntu desktop that runs dosemu, qemu, dosbox, and wine without complaint? Currently have hardy. [04:40] michaelhoward78: i get the error "not a regular file" [04:40] not installed by default but its a start. if i make something you want it? [04:40] <_Techie_> apn, my USB mouse, make: rock, chipset: microdia [04:41] it worked flawlessly on my insignia at school [04:41] sleepy [04:41] so i can be thankful for that [04:41] and blame vizio for now [04:41] sleepy_cat can you tar your files then send that? [04:41] Maletor: I just came in.. what's up.. nvidia? tv/monior? [04:41] Anyone know how to get Cairo-dock's background to stop showing up as a black space after booting up with Xinerama enabled? [04:41] its an entire home folder.. comprising 6GB [04:41] yes, i had to set overscan compensation to 100 and sharpening to 127 because my vizio 37" wasn't working correctly out of box [04:42] Belinrahs: ok this is gonna sound bad, i cant get the pipe key to work lol [04:42] the graphics (as in what i can tell from gradients) don't even look that good compared to what i might get on windows 7 [04:42] Maletor: what rez were you trying to use? [04:42] 720p [04:42] sleepy_cat: I'm pretty sure you'll want rsync, which compresses stuff bf sending it to remote computer. google for "rsync over ssh" or something like that [04:43] unrelated quetion: sudo apt-get install sshd is what i want for my ssh server right? [04:43] Maletor: "what by what" 1366x780 or ? [04:43] Maletor: openssh-server [04:43] im having sound issues [04:43] lb36t: in that case, just type lspci and search for the entry that starts with VGA compatible controller [04:43] my speakers work except when i play java games online [04:43] probably 1280x720 [04:43] ...but i have it set to auto [04:43] sleepy_cat vajorie is right and i think rsysnc has better error protection. [04:43] Belinrahs: ok i got it here it comes [04:44] hmm [04:44] i will check it out [04:44] Maletor: it makes a difference.. do you know what the native resolution of the monitor is? [04:44] lb36t: don't do the whole thing in here, just the VGA line [04:44] i am trying to read on the ubuntu links.. not getting properly :D [04:44] Belinrahs: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [04:44] Izinucs, no... [04:44] lb36t: good [04:44] dsfjsdh [04:44] lb36t: let me look for a driver, that might help your resolution issue.. [04:45] Maletor: google to the rescue.. check it out .. then set the output rez to the native rez of the visio.. you'll find the results much better [04:45] my system plays a song, does login/logout sounds on pidgin but wont play sound from java games online. what could be the problem? [04:45] Belinrahs: Thanks [04:45] <_nubuntu> hey [04:45] <_nubuntu> help please [04:45] <_nubuntu> please help me [04:45] while i thought that made a difference Izinucs, I don't think it does, making resolutions smaller and bigger does not fix the overscan problem as the task bar and menu bar are still hidden...

[04:46] my system plays a song, does login/logout sounds on pidgin but wont play sound from java games online. what could be the problem? [04:46] sleepy_cat: this link disagrees with me. it says tar is faster than rsync when the destination doesn't have any of the files... in both cases, I think you're assumed to have setup ssh to tunnel everything thru it. so you'll have to google for how to setup an ssh tunnel properly and securely, than read up on how to use tar or rsync over ssh. here's the link http://oreilly.com/pub/h/38 [04:46] <_nubuntu> im trying to use centerim [04:46] turtle_, thunderbird, by long shot [04:46] <_nubuntu> it says press ^X for send [04:46] Maletor: well... is the overscan issue because of a setting you made? if so switch it back and also do the native rez [04:46] <_nubuntu> how do i press ^X [04:46] _nubuntu, ctrl + X [04:46] ctrl +x ?

[04:50] Belinrahs: EMACHINES ESYSTEM: 4213 [04:50] zoug doing it now [04:50] since i had not created a separate home folder when i installed ubuntu.. i have to backup the home folder.. now i tried with ssh (GUI) and copied the folder.. but since write access etc (permission denied) (cannot copy) its not copying the entire folder over to the remote terminal.. so i tried with scp but it has issues with the file size.. [04:50] sekyourbox, it depends. http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#bug_gnometerm [04:50] _nubuntu that was prob the click of death. so yes..sorry [04:50] ga_sk8er: then restart firefox [04:50] vajorie:since i had not created a separate home folder when i installed ubuntu.. i have to backup the home folder.. now i tried with ssh (GUI) and copied the folder.. but since write access etc (permission denied) (cannot copy) its not copying the entire folder over to the remote terminal.. so i tried with scp but it has issues with the file size.. [04:50] Izinucs: in nvidia-settings right click the monitor in the left window it will open a new window on the right [04:51] sleepy_cat: hmm, I'm asking because if this is a one-time copy, there is no need to deal with cat > ...cron .... [04:51] apn, I want to connect to my router's console.. [04:51] lb36t1: Good news and bad news. Good news is there's one more thing you can try that might help. Bad news is, you have a SiS video chipset, and SiS has very very poor Linux support. [04:51] yes this is a one time copy [04:51] <_nubuntu> how can i watch porn with nubuntu without a hard drive [04:51] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhtM8UaqTt4&feature=related [04:51] ctmjr: ah.. I've never had a need to go there.. interesting.. he still needs to know the native resolution of the tv/monitor to get the best out of it. [04:51] vajorie: after that i will need to copy from the host onto my local desktop so.. :P [04:51] lb36t1: The last thing you can try, is the first post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=2 [04:51] Belinrahs: ok lol lets try the good news [04:52] zoug that was it ty [04:52] ga_sk8er: great! [04:52] zoug :D [04:52] Izinucs: agreed but he did not ask me how to do that just how to fix the overscan [04:52] Have changes been made to linux/Ubuntu security which make emulators easier to run since hardy? [04:52] zoug the sound helps alot so u know when time is almost up in a timed-game [04:53] ctmjr: ok.. we're both on the right path if he wants to take it.. :) [04:53] help! I am getting kernel panic -unable to sync vfs, unknown block [8,2] [04:53] sekyourbox, dont paste again in here [04:53] setting it to 1366x768 which seems to be native resolution of vx37l models does not seem to fix it... [04:53] ga_sk8er: everything should work in ubuntu, which doesnt seem to work :D [04:53] sleepy_cat: in that block of commands that starts with cat and ends with ^D (ctrl+d), ignore everything but this command: rsync -e 'ssh -p 22' -avzp /some/dir remote_host:/var/backups/some_host Do everything it wants you to do for setting up an ssh tunnel, then use that rsync command as guide to send a few test files. if that succeeds, send out the whole thing. [04:53] vajorie: its working i suppose it says building file list.. initially it was all permission denied.. now its working.. i think [04:53] bazhang, Just figured someon whould should know their chicken... [04:54] sekyourbox, are you familiar with minicom? [04:54] apn, i just googled that, thanks [04:54] zoug not everything. i still cant get webcam to work right [04:54] or I guess apache benchmark is fine too if someone know how to install it without installing apache as well [04:54] sekyourbox, it is offtopic here. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [04:54] bazhang, sure [04:54] sleepy_cat: the cat > ,,,cron... is wrong, don't know why he used that.

[04:59] sleepy_cat: here's a better guide trying to do the same thing (have scheduled rsync backups over ssh). useful *not* as a step-by-step guide for you, but as a guide or something... http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/rsync.htm [04:59] goose, if you use apt-get install package-name it will tell you if its already installed [04:59] jiohdi: well, I want to see what mysql and sqlite packages I have installed already ;/ [05:00] zoug only 2 intel in whole list...neither is mine [05:00] vajorie: thanks.. now looking for imagewriter :) [05:00] goose: just use the name and it will tell you and the version [05:00] i tried with the other one Ubuntu provides... but that gives boot error [05:00] apn, i get an error output No value to set for key: `/apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir' [05:00] apn: That gconf key is a boot, not a string [05:00] usb startup disk creator [05:00] Berlinrahs: why cant i find the xconf.org file? [05:00] petsounds: don't mess with that comand [05:00] goose, if there is a newer one it will let you know and give you the option to install it [05:01] which is better, evolution or thunderbird? [05:01] turtle_: thunderbird [05:01] zoug only 2 intel in whole list...neither is mine [05:01] *bool [05:01] turtle_ thunderbirds got my vote [05:01] goose, what do you like about thunderbird over evolution? [05:01] zoug i probaly have to get another webcam [05:01] hi, what is the thing that replace the xorg.conf parameters since ubuntu 8.10 ?

[05:03] petsounds: gconftool-2 -t bool -s false /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir [05:03] but it wont come out! [05:03] what to do?!

[05:05] thanks michaelhoward78 [05:05] Okay so I created another menu bar in ubuntu and put it on the left side and set it to auto hide [05:05] but it wont come out! [05:05] what to do?! [05:05] np [05:05] plustax, dont repeat so quickly [05:05] goose, thanks I couldnt think of any names of places I could start. [05:05] Chamunks: /etc/init.d/ [05:05] ardchoille, do i need to log out/reboot now? [05:05] okay sorry [05:06] petsounds: possibly, since nautilus manages the desktop [05:06] zoug, dont I need to put scripts in there not commands? [05:06] petsounds: don't need to reboot [05:06] ardchoille, ok brb [05:06] Chamunks: how about a shell script that runs your command? [05:06] plustax: leave the mouse there for a bit see if it un-hides [05:07] Chamunks: sys->pref->start-up [05:07] jiohdi: aptitude search '~i' | grep sql -- is what I was looking for :) [05:08] adobe reader i386 linux should work fine on xubuntu 9.10 right? [05:08] ardchoille, it's fine now. thanks a lot (-: [05:08] anyone with an acer aspire one d250 around here? I'm trying to (and failing at) get a correct cpu temperature reading from it... [05:08] ImJJames: yeah [05:08] k [05:08] petsounds: yw [05:09] zoug, I dont know how to script as of right now. plus I'm on a cli. [05:09] hi, please i got 2 open apps which i can't get to close, i did killal, right click close, and neither did work [05:09] obiwan_: killall -9 [05:09] the're taking m whole cpu so i need it [05:09] Chamunks: what does the server runs? [05:09] zoug, basic NAS and seedbox. [05:10] killall -9? but i thought -9 is for kill [05:10] obiwan_: alt + f2, "xkill", click the frozen application [05:10] hi guys quick question what exactly is chown [05:10] I need to load unbuntu on a netbook via usb, so I read the guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick) [05:10] and how do I use this with chmod? [05:10] but obviously usb-creator is only for ubuntu [05:10] I run gentoo. [05:10] MashaIvanova: man chown [05:10] MashaIvanova: man chown [05:10] where can I get this utility [05:10] goose, I'll check ubottu for some details on crontab but I'm pretty unfamiliar with cron. [05:10] so I can load it [05:10] paulmer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:10] diaf bot [05:11] zoug, with basic webhosting really. [05:11] obiwan_ kill pid. do a ps -A to find the proccess you want to kill then type kill and the pid [05:11] Chamunks: google it, it's easy :) [05:11] paulmer, gentoo ? [05:11] i did michaelhoward78 [05:11] i'll try the goose option [05:11] Chamunks: crontab is a scheduler not suitable for start-up scripts.. [05:11] ok more specifically how do I use chmod with chown or what is the difference [05:11] paulmer: have a look at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [05:11] obiwan_ i have been havin the same prob on 9.10 on app that use the whole screen [05:11] Thanks, vajorie [05:12] paulmer, any distro will work with unetbootin ; gentoo questions in #gentoo please [05:12] you're welcome :) [05:12] goose, ardchoille so how do you use chmod chown, arent they the same thing? [05:12] zoug, fair enough I guess aparently according to a quick google search there has to be chron referenced in some init file anyways. [05:12] zoug, or rc.local [05:13] Hey, Movie Player (built in version) was working fine before, but recently it won't play anything. .mp3's, .avi's, anything. It loads the file and sits at 0:00 indefinitely. Any ideas on how to correct this? [05:13] MashaIvanova: chmod modifies mode, chown modifies ownership [05:13] anyone with an acer aspire one d250 around here? I'm trying to (and failing at) get a correct cpu temperature reading from it... [05:13] ardchoille, what do you mean mode? [05:13] ardchoille, mode of what [05:13] MashaIvanova: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html [05:14] ardchoille, thank you [05:14] Chamunks: simple solution to me: go to your server's sys-pref-start-up and add your command [05:14] zoug, like basically I'm just looking to run rtorrent in a screen using a normal user on boot. This server is completely headless thus has No xserver at all :S [05:14] MashaIvanova: chown changes ownership of the file: user:group (such as root user, admin group) [05:14] Obviously bazhang [05:15] Thanks for your help. [05:15] /sarcasm [05:15] ardchoille, ok thanks [05:15] hi [05:15] Chamunks: your only option is making a script in /etc/init.d/ [05:15] zoug, thats kinda why I'm in a bind I can try nx'ing into the box and running x that way but I think those startup procs under sys-pref-startup only runs on login. [05:16] paulmer: If you have a computer with a CD drive, you can use the creator from the liveCD === bigmouth is now known as topgun21 [05:16] what was that modified/rebranded firefox that did not transmit all your searches to Google/Mozilla/Canonical? [05:17] i heard about it a few months ago when there was that controversial change to Ubuntu's FF. I think it was in a 9.10 alpha release. [05:18] ijeif: I believe it was only for the alpha releases (the change) [05:18] Flannel: it was, the final release removed that [05:18] Damn, this piece of junk usb key sitting around is only 260meg.. [05:18] How hard is it to use pxe boot? [05:18] Flannel: can you remember the thread about it? I saw someone link to an alternative build with privacy treated more preciously [05:18] I don't have any cdrs and I need to load this magine immediately [05:18] the thread on the forum I mean [05:18] i'm unable to find it [05:18] paulmer: You can use the minimal ISO, which is only 8MB (and it downloads all the packages from the internet) [05:19] Excellent, thanks for the tip Flannel! [05:19] !mini | paulmer [05:19] paulmer: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:19] hello everyone. How do i change start up programs from the command line? [05:19] zoug, If I could get in to do that startups thing under prefs I dont think that would boot with the server would it? [05:19] evon cron -e [05:20] evon: don't use cron -e, install sysv-rc-conf and use that to change startup programs [05:20] michaelhoward78: cron -e isn't what he needed [05:20] re [05:21] me sali sin querer xd [05:21] ooops sry [05:21] ardchoille isnt what cron is for? [05:21] michaelhoward78: no [05:21] ardchoille: what is that and why can't i use cron -e? [05:21] ardchoille thanks for the explantion [05:21] ardchoille, hi, sorry to bother you again, so is this the correct format for the chown/chmod command? ... chmod 755 chown –R userid:userid [05:21] evon: your cron -e is empty, unless you changed it. sysv-rc-conf is used to change startup programs [05:22] ardchoille: and that program will work in commandline? [05:22] MashaIvanova: chmod 755 dir is good if you only want to modify the dir iteslef and not subdirs [05:22] evon: yes, I use it all the time [05:23] ardchoille, so how do I get it to also do the subdirectories?...add -R? [05:23] MashaIvanova: chown -R user:group (not userid) [05:23] MashaIvanova: yes, -R is for "recursive" [05:23] Chamunks: it should [05:23] ardchoille: what's the apt-get install name to install that program from commandline? [05:23] ardchoille, ah ok so the command should look like this, chmod 755 chown –R userid:group ......what would be the group? [05:24] evon: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf [05:24] zoug, I'll give the server a reboot see how it worked. [05:24] ardchoille: says it could not find it when i tried that [05:24] Chamunks: cool.. [05:24] MashaIvanova: don't use userid, it's just user:group and you have to know the group [05:24] !info sysv-rc-conf [05:24] How do I use the "-u" option with apt-get to list packages that need to be installed? I don't know which command to use it with. [05:24] sysv-rc-conf (source: sysv-rc-conf): SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99-6 (karmic), package size 23 kB, installed size 104 kB [05:24] ardchoille, what is a group then...i guess? [05:24] -installed +upgraded [05:25] evon: you need to enable the universe repo and try again [05:25] MashaIvanova: which group do you want to have group permission for the dir? [05:25] ardchoille: i think it's already enabled. how do i enable it through commandline? I can't remember which file i have to change [05:25] hey guys [05:25] !hi | Hilikus [05:25] Hilikus: 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! [05:25] ardchoille, i want to be added to the group, instead of the current user (apache for some reason?) [05:26] evon: after you install sysv-rc-conf, run it with: sudo sysv-rc-conf [05:26] zoug, Just that I'll let ya know if it works. [05:26] MashaIvanova: don't chown the /var/www folder, that's not what you want, apache will have problems [05:26] ey i'm back [05:26] apt-get -u [what goes here?] [05:26] i closed by error terminal with xkill [05:27] MashaIvanova: to add yourself to a group, see man adduser [05:27] ardchoille: i can't even install the program though. [05:27] evon: Why not? [05:27] MashaIvanova, no no its not the dir i'm trying to do, ah ok I will man adduser, cool thank you so much [05:27] hey, I've got a pretty specific question... I'm trying to install squashfs-tools with aptitude on karmic... when I install them on Jaunty I get the kernel-patch-squashfs package along with the squashfs-tools, in Karmic I can't find them, and squashfs just plain fails... any ideas? [05:27] ardchoille: says it can't find the package [05:27] i closed too the open apps, they aren't now visible, but still in system monitor, and system is really, really laggy [05:27] Chamunks: ok! [05:27] I could really use the help on this [05:28] evon: did you enable the universe repo and update your sources with: sudo apt-get update [05:28] how do i make my z 5500's work with ubuntu? [05:28] what is the suggested way of installing jdk on a fresh ubuntu install? [05:28] i've got 7 cpu average! this is really bad [05:28] obiwan_, load average? === kortmann is now known as yairgo [05:28] ardchoille: I can't remember which file I need to update in order to enable that repository. Can you remind me please [05:28] how can i cut the head off those apps? to make sure they die [05:29] hm, anyone familiar with apt-get + squashfs? [05:29] if i have my samba setting security = user, do i still need to use smbpasswd to set passwords and add users or i just need to maintain workin system accounts? [05:29] evon: do you have a working desktop? [05:29] yeah LizardK|ng , 7! it's ultrahigh [05:29] on imagewriter i load the image i load the usb disk and i click on create .. now it says in details "unmounted usb drive" but shows no progress.. nor anything just stalls [05:29] usually i got 0.3~0.6, now 7 === john is now known as Guest49464 [05:30] i yet tried kill -9, killall, right click close, xkill... [05:30] they simply won't die [05:30] hm [05:30] I dont suppose there's any way to speed up /dev/random? [05:30] zoug, I've found some init.d stuff that I may be able to work with. But it appears to have failed. [05:31] ardchoille: nope no GUI. i need to turn of Gnome 3 shell in order to get it working [05:31] zoug, I think that it only works when logged in via the gui. === haisam is now known as ugarit [05:31] please how can i kill em? [05:31] ardchoille: i moved my system to a new case and the graphics don't work properly anymore. I want to reinstall my nvidia drivers [05:31] i'm afraid my computer won't resist [05:32] evon: I'm afraid I can't help with editing sources via command line [05:32] I don't mess with my sources.list [05:32] Chamunks: make a script, put it in /etc/init.d/ and then update via update-rc.d. more info on its manual [05:33] Chamunks: also make your script executable [05:33] hm [05:33] anyone have any idea how to fix this: mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs' [05:33] ardchoille: i just need to know where that source.list file is. I have no problem editing it manually [05:33] evon: /etc/apt/sources.list [05:34] zoug, thanks I'd never have thought about +x [05:34] Hey [05:34] Chamunks: yeah, it is necessary [05:34] since updating my computer, it's going super slow, like my CPU is bogged down or something. The only thing I see is that xorg takes up about 25% of my CPU at any given time. Is that normal? [05:35] yeah i finally killed em :) [05:35] Ubuntu 9.04 if that helps [05:35] obiwan_ how? [05:36] Brack101: you can see what is eating your cpu in system monitor [05:36] zoug: It's xorg [05:36] ardchoille, ok cool so i got it except just one last question :) the command so far is chmod -R 755 chown -R user:group right?.....the -R in chown command does not make sense, do I need to add the -R? [05:37] Help, my Logitech Z-5500 will not work with 9.10. I can't get the optical out to play anything. What am I doing wrong? [05:38] zoug, you think init.d files can be named things like rtorrentInit.bash ?

I'm trying to install squashfs-tools with aptitude on karmic... when I install them on Jaunty I get the kernel-patch-squashfs package along with the squashfs-tools, in Karmic I can't find them, and squashfs just plain fails... any ideas? [05:41] Chamunks: yeah, it should work. in the script look for SCRIPTNAME. it says /etc/init.d/rtorrent [05:41] IdleOne: ok thanks [05:42] zoug, found it what should I do here? [05:43] hi, what would be the file that allow to set up the double click delay ?

[06:41] <_Techie_> mneptok, if this works, your a god [06:41] * mneptok flexes [06:41] lol [06:41] just did a minimalistic install with icewm, installed wicd for network managing, but when I run /usr/sbin/wicd (not in path) it starts a daemon but doesn't give me a gui... yet it should [06:42] i've never had any luck with sysreq [06:42] reisub never ever ever works [06:42] I need help with a flashplugin-nonfree issue with the new distribution. [06:42] Ben64: thanks... that will work. [06:42] i dont know how i downloaded the non 64 version.. [06:43] LizardK|ng: LInux is a kernel. It runs on just about any cpu you can throw at it (well, as long as it has an MMU). This includes 386. Ubuntu has a certain use case that requires a fast CPU. If you want to run linux on a 386, you can, just a different version. There are plenty of embedded devices running linux 2.6 that have less resources than a 386 with 16Megs. [06:44] i wanted to install ubuntu 9.10 but then it said there is 1 error in the iso file.. (i ran the live user worked well i later i checked for integrity then it gave that error) i wanted to know is downloading a new version my only hope ? [06:44] sleepy_cat: no. Obi-Wan Kenobi is your only hope. [06:44] sleepy_cat, Yes. And check your CD burner because it might be misbehaving. [06:45] what about once we get it in stalled and get the flashplugin error? [06:45] sleepy_cat: and yes, you need to re-download. and use a torrent to ensure such problems don;t happen again. [06:45] which prevents me from further updating the distrution. [06:45] hello everyone, my first time in IRC [06:46] asphix: welcome to ubuntu [06:46] !hi | asphix [06:46] asphix: 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! [06:47] Ben64: ok. now thats finished. could you guide me in right direction to install 32bit env/libs. [06:48] allowoverride: nothing to do really, sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [06:48] allowoverride: why not just install the 64bit version of lightning? [06:48] indus: how will that effect my 64 bit env. will it? [06:48] but iam not sure if that is the answer you look for [06:48] Ben64: i did, it works, thanks [06:48] allowoverride: nvm === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [06:48] nvm? [06:48] never mind, ignore me [06:49] why? [06:49] allowoverride: then why do you need 32bit libs [06:49] i want them [06:49] having problems with external speakers not muting when plugging in headphones, Ive tried using espd in my alsa conf but when I unplug my headphones the sound is very low like the front speakers are not coming back on... [06:49] Ben64: like i stated b4. some progs will not work [06:50] allowoverride: which? you might just not be seeing the 64bit versions [06:50] is there a 64 bit ms publisher replacement out there? [06:50] can someone help me with a slightly easier query? [06:50] Ben64: true. i just loaded the os only a few times. [06:51] brenley: it's best to ask your question rather than asking to ask. just ask your question and someone will help you out. [06:51] anyone in here know how to get checkinstall to make .deb packages without installing them? [06:51] Ben64: im trying to recreate all that i have used the past 2 years.. its not going to be so simple. all the plugins.. progs. so forth... vm [06:51] !checkinstall [06:51] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! === dnivra_ is now known as dnivra [06:51] Hello, I am having issues with the Flashplugin-nonfree package. its broken and i can't get rid or update it. [06:52] allowoverride: almost everything for ubuntu comes in 32 and 64 bit versions, if you're looking to recreate windows, you're aiming for the wrong thing [06:52] ok so simply : sudo apt-get install ia32-libs i got that... just gathering some input to decide. oh and no im not running windows lol... [06:52] brenly: just go to synaptic package manager and select "Remove completely" or whatever option that sounds similar. [06:52] how funny [06:53] dn - that's not working. it just refuses to do anything. is there a terminal command i can use? [06:53] I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea? [06:53] bently u need to purge [06:53] brenley sorry [06:53] rather than asking the why questions, how about just respond with the hows ;) [06:53] purge? how do i do that? [06:54] i am pm ing u brenly check [06:54] Hi. I have a question. Not sure if this is the right place. I want to install Ubuntu Desktop Remix on my Asus EEE PC 1000HE. I'm doing it from a USB. I've had to change "isolinux" and "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux" and "syslinux.cfg" to get it to show the boot menu. Now when I select the option to try out Ubuntu, or install it, the screen goes black and the cursor indicates that it's loading, but it never gets past this screen. D [06:54] brenley: stick your finger down your throat [06:54] allowoverride: well to me it seems like you went to ubuntu from windows, and now you're looking to recreate everything you had on windows exactly how it was. but the problem is many windows programs aren't going to be available on linux, and similar programs for linux are going to work fine on 64 bit. [06:55] so i asked what Effect will loading sudo apt-get install ia32-libs have on my 64bit env... [06:55] kcj1993: stop, please [06:55] Ben64: way off lol... [06:55] ok sorry [06:55] i been using linux/unix for some time... i been using ubuntu for um... 6 months [06:55] allowoverride: well how about this: what programs do you want that do not work with 64 bit? [06:56] im going one by one at the moment Ben64 [06:56] thunderbird was the last one. thats done... [06:56] one by one from what [06:56] I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea? [06:56] typical programs i used for various things [06:56] ill let you know [06:56] as i come accross issues . hows that sound [06:56] :) [06:56] where is this list of programs you need to work in 64bit, but don't [06:57] sudo apt-get install ia32-libs was good input. thanks [06:57] well i would say right now, the most probs im having are with plugins [06:57] for firefox 3.5 [06:57] and um.. what effect will sudo apt-get install ia32-libs have on my 64 bit env.... [06:58] if you dont know, its ok, i dont expect everyone to know everything :) [06:59] Ben64: i dont think there is a replacement for linuxj2k at the moment for 64bit [06:59] allowoverride: ia32-libs don't have any effect on 64 bit programs. [06:59] s/don't/doesn't/ [06:59] askvictor: thanks victor... i like to know what im loading b4 i load it. no offense. i just dont load things on my box. [07:00] Hmm [07:00] askvictor: you sed'ing? [07:00] hehe [07:00] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [07:00] I don't have the module ehci-hcd in my 9.10 install. Should I? What module negotiates full speed USB enumeration? [07:00] allowoverride: fair enough, though if it's from a mainline repo (and often even it it's not) it usually pretty easy to uninstall [07:00] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates [07:00] askvictor: true. thanks [07:00] options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig eapd probe_mask=1 position_fix=1 <--- Can I use that in my alsa-base.conf?

[07:01] ill let you know ; [07:01] 0;) [07:01] allowoverride: right, but one by one FROM WHAT [07:01] I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea? [07:01] holy crap [07:01] Ben64: ok now thats what i need to know,,, [07:01] allowoverride: if you're truly paranoid you'll take a backup (or lvm snapshot) of your system before each and every update ;) [07:01] i just listed one... Ben64 [07:01] how do i get my built in webcam to work? some help please [07:01] allowoverride: the more you explain, the more people can help, stop being so damn secretive [07:01] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates [07:02] I set Ubuntu to auto-login my account. Now, NetworkManager Applet prompts me for my sudo password when the desktop first loads. How can I fix this? [07:02] Hi - how do I edit Grub 2's settings to make the menu delay shorter? [07:02] askvictor: lol ok thats true... i like to do scp's here and there when i think a possible fail will occur, or somethin havent done b4 [07:02] Ben64: i havent had a chance to check out my other box yet, i been typing to you [07:02] sheshhh [07:02] bbiab [07:02] corinth: It's not asking for your sudo password, it's asking for your keyring password -- as far as I know, it's not possible to get around this, although setting your keyring password to blank may work. I have never tried this, though. [07:03] cdm101: set timeout in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. that's what you need i guess. [07:04] Right, cdm101. Keyring. There's no way around this...? o_O [07:04] dnivra: there's a fairly giant "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" comment at the top... is there somewhere I'm supposed to edit? [07:04] <_Techie_> cdm101, corinth, research pam and figure out how to get that to pass the password through [07:04] cdm101: back up the grub.cfg JUST IN CASE. and there's a set timeout=10. Think that's what you need to edit. [07:04] cdm101, dnivra: if you install startupmanager its got a GUI for most GRUB2 things [07:04] _Techie_: pam DOES pass the password through -- the problem is that he has his system set up to not require the password. [07:05] Flannel: Really? I thought that disappeared with Grub 1. Thank you. [07:05] dnivra, cdm101: no, grub.cfg gets automatically generated, any edits you make will be lost. It's some file in /etc/grub/ you need to edit (or use startupmanager) [07:05] <_Techie_> cdm101, corinth, research pam and figure out how to get that to pass the password through [07:05] or maybe /etc/grub2/ whatever the path is [07:05] Hello Room. [07:06] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates [07:06] How do I disable Ubuntu One? [07:06] _Techie_: you just said that. If you have some sorta amendment to what you said, you could say that. [07:06] How do I prevent Ubuntu from installing things from Apt with a config file already made? I'd prefer to configure everything myself. [07:06] _Techie_: the password is not stored in plaintext... the computer does not KNOW the password. [07:06] <_Techie_> sorry cdm101 hit the up arrow to repeat my problem, and didnt hit it enough times [07:06] _Techie_: alright :) [07:07] Flannel: thanks for the heads-up about startupmanager [07:07] mefached: download the source code and compile on your own [07:07] My sound doesn't work [07:07] DNS777: That would defeat the entire purpose of having a package manager like apt-get [07:07] Mefached, if you have a custom config file, apt detects it and ask you what to do [07:08] cool [07:08] i didnt know [07:08] Mefached: You don't (the config file will be part of the package) just gut those config files and start over if that's really what you want [07:08] i cannot connect to my wireless network anymore. Windows can connect to the network but mint can't. I have the same problem on my laptop. Can anyone help? [07:08] Flannel: Where are they? I can't recall where they're placed. [07:08] I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea? [07:08] Mefached: Config files? they're all in /etc/ [07:08] evon: you're in Linux mint? You need to be in their support channel [07:08] Flannel: Thank you. [07:09] Does anyone know how to get sound working in ubuntu? [07:09] ardchoille: tried them and no help. Besides i have the exact same problem on my ubuntu machine where I was talking to you from before [07:10] evon: We don't support Mint here [07:10] dday, what is not working exactly? [07:10] ardchoille: i need help for my ubuntu machine. which i am not using right now [07:10] ardchoille: it's right beside me [07:10] hi all [07:10] I can't hear any sound DNS777, it worked perfectly when i was on 9.04. But since upgrading to 9.10 it no longer owrks [07:10] how do i edit the /etc/network/interfaces file [07:10] ardchoille: Except that Mint is just Ubuntu with things added. If you don't support Mint, then do you only support users with GNOME immediately after install, or what? Doesn't Mint use the same kernel and everything? [07:11] can someone tell me how to install my wireless driver? [07:11] friendishan: sudo gedit [07:11] Mefached: We don't support Mint here [07:11] evon thanks [07:12] tomcyl: go to "hardware drivers" i think it's in preferences or administration [07:12] ardchoille: That's really amusing, actually, since #slackware has no problem supporting Zenwalk and Vector. I thought Ubuntu was the friendly community, eh? [07:12] what i mean , it worked before [07:12] dday: maybe you can change the driver, click on the speaker in your taskbar on the top right, with right mouse button, choose settings, and check the hardware tab [07:12] ardchoille: if you can help i'd appreciate it. i need it for my ubuntu machine. [07:12] Mefached: Perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic is a better venue for this? [07:12] hardware tab is empty DNS777 [07:13] oops [07:13] is there anyway to get ubuntu to create a live usb that is not a ubunt iso ?

[07:15] can anyone help me with my wireless card? i cannot connect to any detected networks. I am able to connect these networks from windows but no ubuntu. [07:15] evon: What's the card? [07:15] brenley: what do you mean by remote management? [07:16] brenley: yes. look into vnc and ssh and the two together. [07:16] Mefached: it's a broadcom chipset [07:16] askvictor: have someone access my laptop remotely and fix a problem for me... [07:16] Mefached: i can see networks but not connect [07:16] ok this may seem like a really stupid question but I'm having trouble with flash. Everything can play, but i cannot control it once it starts (pausing and whatnot) [07:16] evon: I have a BCM4306 in my laptop. The restricted hardware recommended driver worked fine. [07:16] ok, what about change my screen resolution? [07:16] evon: Are you using the right driver? [07:17] can a minimal install deal with sata ahci drives? this install is going extremely slow [07:17] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates [07:17] Mefached: well it was working up to 2 days ago and I've never had a problem before [07:17] brenley: yes. If you're not behind a firewall, you could just go System->Prefs->Remote Desktop [07:17] Mefached: so i am assuming yes [07:17] evon: That's very strange. Have you upgraded distro version recently? I'm still on 9.04. === arma_grada is now known as astalavista [07:18] Mefached: perhaps Mint does something slightely different than Ubuntu does and that is the reason for the problem? [07:18] Mefached: it was working even after i upgraded [07:18] ardchoille: The person said the problem was repeated on the Ubuntu machine, and again, I assume #ubuntu supports users who don't use GNOME, right? [07:19] can someone tell me how to change my screen resolution? [07:19] ardchoille: my goodness man i said that i have the same problem on my ubuntu machine that i am using right now [07:19] evon: Then I'm forced to assume it's a hardware issue if nothing has been changed. === astalavista is now known as monsiuer [07:19] Mefached: but a hardware issue on both computers at the same time? [07:19] Mefached: i would have concluded an ubuntu issue [07:19] tomcyl System > Preferences > Display [07:20] Mefached: maybe i'll try reinstalling my drivers [07:20] evon: It's more likely, to me, that there would be a double hardware fault than that a lack of changes in software would cause different results. === monsiuer is now known as monsieur [07:20] evon: Try that. See if it works. [07:20] thanks [07:20] no prob [07:21] Mefached: but yet the same hardware works fine in windows on both machines [07:21] but my dont have Preferences > Display [07:21] evon: Oh.

[07:27] you do that in /etc/samba/smb.conf [07:27] SnakDoc: do I need to use nfs instead of samba? [07:28] samba works with windows so your choice [07:28] or you can take the xrandr route [07:28] they also call Gnome 2.24.1? [07:28] firefitrwife: what is xrandr? diff protocal? [07:29] bigd1: u mounting this on windows or another linux machine [07:29] SnakDoc: windows [07:29] bigd1: a command for on-the-fly reconfiguring X [07:29] so share on windows ? or wanting to mount on windows === psinetic_ is now known as Psinetic [07:30] tom do you know what you want it set to? if so then [07:30] i need someone to help me get rid of a package called flashplugin-nonfree. i have done everything scott___ told me to do but nothing seems to work [07:30] I want to see my windows drive in my linux file manager. if i could go the other way also that would be good. [07:31] what you you mean by config/monitors.xml? [07:31] $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode ####x### [07:31] bigd1: you can do both but wouldn't share whole file system [07:31] at the end being the resolution you want [07:31] bigd1: you'd have to share the entire drive under windows = big security risk [07:31] bigd1: also samba is what you need. are you wanting this to mount on every boot ? [07:31] hello, i am a begginer [07:32] SnakDoc: idealy yes, I would like to mount on everyboot. [07:32] Askvictor, why is it a security risk?

[07:33] i dont get it [07:33] when you say anyone, do you mean anyone on the network? [07:33] bigd1: windows is a security risk in itself. Having the entire drive shared makes it worse. If know what you're doing, and can lock it down it should be OK. [07:33] dday did it work? [07:33] hey guys, just playing around with the main-menu applet, and I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the menu icon? I can change it, but I would rather remove it.

[07:35] SnakDoc: ok, yea of course on the internet, but both systems are connected to a router. the router has a firewall. is that still dangerous? [07:35] i'm sorry [07:35] bigd1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [07:36] quietone, I'm using the Mist gtk theme, so the icon for me is a small green tick. Normally it would be an Ubuntu logo (or perhaps a gnome foot, etc). It's the icon to the left of the Applications | Places | System menu [07:36] where i input the command?

[07:41] Thanks. How can I allow access to subfolders of /var/www in Apache? [07:41] set permissions [07:41] _Techie_: That's what the init script/services uses. It's another abstraction layer lower [07:41] thanks anyway [07:42] Well I can't get my dang headphones working and have the external speakers mute...using the old mixer I could...

I dont even have linux working [07:57] SnakDoc, thus making me unable to tell what repo it specifically is [07:57] what does it mean when my xwindows freezes solid (even the system clock) for excatly 13 seconds every few minutes while watching a movie in any program? [07:57] SaBot: i know there are a lot of how to for that [07:58] anybody please help me to configure centerim with gmail [07:58] SaBot, maybe format the system first with a gparted disc?

[08:12] I also have edununtu, how do I get rid of that ardchoille [08:13] ruge: I run it on less :) [08:13] o rly [08:13] awesome [08:13] could i use WINE to run Adobe apps? [08:13] Miansc: no idea, never used it [08:13] ruge, I run it on a 1ghz with 1gb or ram and it runs fine [08:13] having a wireless problem [08:13] ruge i wouldn't try that [08:13] ok cool. [08:13] ruge, you'd have to look that up in the wine compatibility db [08:13] sure [08:14] What are your thoughts on kubuntu and ubuntu? [08:14] ruge: search for adobe applications that are there for ubuntu. acrobat reader is there for ubuntu. [08:14] its just that [08:14] Why dont people prefer kubuntu, seems easier to use. [08:14] i spent money on flash books [08:14] did a min install of 8.04 with icewm, but wlan0 is not showing up, lshw -C shows it is there, the restricted modules are installed and it's a madwifi card [08:14] Miansc, that's more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [08:14] i dont want them to go to waste XD [08:14] sorry [08:14] just wanted to hear peoples thoughts [08:14] ruge, if it doesn't run in wine, it'll run in a virtual machine [08:15] hmm [08:15] virtualbox XP machine with only 512mb ram.. [08:15] Hi, I've been using ubuntu for 2-3 years now. And I have barely ever experienced any "freezes", but this last week my ubuntu has been freezing 3+ times a day. I have no idea what is causing this, and have NO IDEA how to diagnose this. Please, I'm no expert, but have tried many things - I have scanned my hard drives for bad secotrs (that was fine) I have tried looking for a pattern in the freezing - but couldn't find any. What should I do? [08:15] I feel like I'm using Windows again ;-) [08:16] wiehan, look at your sysconfig after the crash [08:16] wonder if a lot of web and graphic designer use ubuntu.. [08:16] wiehan, I can't be sure, but I had random freezes, and running e2fsck -cc on my drives fixed it [08:16] ruge: virtualbox experience is always better with a lot of ram [08:16] er syslog sorry [08:17] yeah and e2fsck -cc helps if you have bad sectors on your hard drive [08:17] z987k - I tried that, but I have no idea what is going on there, don't know where to start. [08:17] well what does it say right after the crash(they are timestamped) [08:17] frogzoo: plenty of free cpu and ram according to my monitors, its always a 13 second freeze every time, i know becuase it freezes the clock and i can see the number that comes right after [08:17] z987k - But you can't run e2fsck -cc on a mounted filesystem? And At this stage I only have on hdd in my PC [08:18] wiehan, live are what you should be running the checks from [08:18] livecds* [08:18] wiehan, livecd/usb/ect [08:18] wiehan: my first thought: a memory stick gone bad - run memtest [08:18] z987k - I honestly did that at least 4 times when the crashes started, and There was no problem and no improvement... [08:19] -cc ? [08:19] when running memtest, I've always been recommended to run on each stick of ram individually [08:19] re all [08:19] vrun roman pe aici? [08:19] :D [08:19] wiehan: but be sure to run the complete test (most errors only show up late in the process) [08:20] z987k i think I ran e2fsck -pcvf or somethin similar... [08:20] !ro | radioclass [08:20] radioclass: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [08:20] aperson: how many test you let it run and why seperate ? i would only do that to find stick with issue if one was found [08:20] do 2 c's [08:20] it's a rw instead of ro [08:20] aperson: also what if you run dual channel memmeory [08:21] SnakDoc, that's just what I've been told, I'd imagine it would be the easiest way to find a single bad stick [08:21] wiehan, e2fsck -fcc [08:21] SnakDoc, not to mention memtest takes forever [08:22] Ok, except for e2fsck and memtest, what else can I do, so that I don't have to come bother you guys again... [08:22] check syslog, should be something there right after is crashed [08:22] would anybody be interested in helping me test a script out? [08:22] wiehan, other than the normal fsck? [08:22] !anybody [08:22] 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? [08:23] its a simple python script. [08:23] What brand of memory stick are you folks using? [08:23] I have a wireless issure, I did a min install of 8.04 with icewm, but wlan0 is not showing up, lshw -C shows it is there, the restricted modules are installed and it's a madwifi card [08:23] aperson: it does take for ever i always heard to let run more than 9 passes took me 7 - 8 hours for just 2 gb [08:25] SnackDoc are you referring to a flash drive? [08:25] Can anybody with a Radeon graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10 please help me out? Can you run "v4l-conf" (it's in package v4l-conf) and report the output to me? I get bogus values from the DGA support and want to pinpoint the problem. Thanks! [08:26] Curly_Q: was talking about running memtest [08:26] how do i remove kde again?

[08:29] Miansc: python is made for gluing apps together and fast programming not realtime apps [08:29] I dont understand though, how the command line can be powerfull? [08:29] Ohh.. [08:30] SnakDoc, I'd argue that is a matter of opinion [08:30] but again, this isn't the place for this discussion :) [08:30] Miansc: Why wouldn't the command line be powerful? [08:30] aperson: run python doing gui conversion then run c++ doing gui conversion u will see c++ is faster [08:30] how do users open files in it? [08:30] aperson: sorry for being off topic [08:31] Miansc: what does "opening" a file mean? [08:31] how can they select thing.

[08:31] Just curious, has anyone here used any professional programs in Ubuntu that compares with Adobe After effects and Acronis? [08:31] Is there any way I can delete the windows bootloader from one of my hard drives? It remains there from a previous installation, and I don't want it to show up in GRUB. [08:31] Miansc: You should see this page: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/command-line-cheatsheet.html [08:31] Miansc, that all depends on the programs you use/have installed [08:32] uggh. [08:32] robert__: you can remove the entries from GRUB [08:32] Miansc: google google and start off simple btw [08:32] robert, a safer way is just to modify the grub list [08:32] yep [08:32] nnnnn: I looked at the grub.cfg file but it says specifically DO NOT EDIT, so I was weary. [08:32] Curly_Q: dd works for Acronis [08:32] anyone help me with my networking problem? [08:32] robert, well i haven't ever editied it for reasons like that... but if it bothers you that much [08:33] Thanks SnacDoc. I love Acronis for Windows. [08:33] nnnnn: I'll save a backup, I suppose. [08:33] nnnnn: Thanks. [08:33] you may not beable to open your system if you deleate some entrys thats why [08:33] Curly_Q: dd command line and lets you do lots of imaging type task can even burn cd's with it very powerful [08:33] /etc/default/grub would be the place to edit [08:33] SnacDoc will DD copy NTFS Windows like Acronis? [08:33] I want to make visual python apps... anyway is there some sort of book/tut that has like python projects? in stead of just learning it, u make usefull thing. [08:34] Curly_Q, dd will copy a disc regardless of what's on it [08:34] Nice.

I have pretty tough question. Evolution seems to save all its' passwords under "default" keyring. Can I change this for some custom keyring (let it be "evolution" keyring) somehow? [09:16] DNS777 : thanks..i am gonna search google ..thanks anyway. [09:16] fluvvell: OK didnt see aboutthe raid there [09:17] nemo_: you have to change the rights for your kde folder i guess [09:17] indus, its ok. sorry for misspelling your nick [09:17] how do you reset the panels to its default again? [09:17] !panels [09:17] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:17] but [09:17] Slart, it's not that, it's just... a lot of them went missing. I'm reisntalling the manpages package to see if that remedies it [09:17] aperson: I think the most common are "manpages" and "manpages-dev" [09:18] !info manpages | aperson [09:18] aperson: manpages (source: manpages): Manual pages about using a GNU/Linux system. In component main, is standard.

[09:18] Slart, hmm.. after re-installing them, I'm still missing a lot. like aptitude's and such [09:18] aperson: try reinstalling aptitude [09:19] Slart, I never thought I'd be doing a: sudo aptitude reinstall aptitude :S [09:19] aperson: =) [09:20] does compiz fusion work by Remote Desktop? [09:20] Slart, I don't know how it disappeared in the first place :/ [09:20] aperson: if files start disappearing I think you should be worried.. worried and busy making backups [09:20] Slart, I hope not :/ I can't afford new harddrives [09:21] hello [09:22] Azeotrope: Not with any reasonable speed, no.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [09:32] ActionParsnip1: yes [09:32] c_nick: what filesystem does fdisk say it is? [09:32] W95 FAT [09:32] FAT 32 [09:32] c_nick: ok then you can mount it manually really easily, what is the partition name? [09:33] /dev/sdb1 [09:33] ok so u mean [09:33] mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk [09:33] but why is it not displaying it in the desktop.. usually an icon does occur [09:33] c_nick: sudo mkdir /media/usb; sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb -o rw,uid-1000 [09:33] c_nick: sure that works mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/disk [09:34] c_nick: has the usb device been in any windows systems?

[09:34] c_nick: ok and are you ejecting the mount before removing the device from your system? [09:34] but then i overwrote on my existing home folder.. so maybe thats the issue [09:34] yeah! [09:34] c_nick: good, thats very important :D [09:35] Duh! :P [09:35] c_nick: most windows sers just rip them out then wonder why they get issues [09:35] c_nick: system did not want to mount 2 usb-flash simultaneously [09:35] ActionParsnip1: braintorch: i dont use windows :P [09:35] c_nick: my command will get it mounted and read/writable [09:36] c_nick: I'm too [09:36] yes ActionParsnip1 [09:37] thanks [09:37] c_nick: no worries [09:37] Do you guys know a good web proxy [09:38] midori evolution does not work!

Scroll down to volumes and choose 'mount file systems from removable drives'. In the box click 'grant', from the drop down in 'select user' choose your username.

[09:50] ActionParsnip1, yes i can [09:50] there is no problem with that [09:50] sudo apt-get install authorization ? [09:51] When i try to start ubuntu from a CD it stops and says [ end trace ], the last things it said were: cpu idle and start _secondary [09:51] c_nick: the authorisations item in the admin menu will allow you to add yorself, as the guide says [09:51] (there's a chance the computer is broken though) [09:51] Computech: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? did you run the cd verifier? [09:52] I'll try that Action [09:52] plustax: can you ping the server? [09:52] Computech: why didnt you try it BEFORE? [09:52] * sterz pfff [09:53] ActionParsnip1 server?

How do you know the CD was burned properly [09:54] !lucid [09:54] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:54] ActionParsnip1, the cd worked on other computers. [09:54] @ping [09:54] sleepmode is not working for me [09:54] what settings I can check [09:54] !ping [09:54] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [09:54] Computech: ok then try boot options, also check your bios is st to failsafe [09:54] Ok [09:55] I'l try around a bit, thanx Action [09:56] Computech: you can also disable devices in BIOS to make your system simpler [09:56] ActionParsnip1 : okay so I dont know what you mean by ping the server. Im new to linux [09:56] I'll try that to [09:56] I go to remote desktop and get the folowing [09:56] plustax: its not linux specific, its a defacto command [09:56] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png [09:57] well how do I ping it? [09:57] flash videos in firefox can't go fullscreen. [09:57] w [09:57] and what's the server I ping exactly? [09:57] plustax: you ping the system to check connectivity. in terminal type: ping -c 4 ip.address.of.server [09:57] for some reason [09:57] I dont know the server to ping! [09:57] plustax: the server you are trying to get the desktop of [09:57] im not on a server [09:57] Im trying to make it so others can vnc into my laptop here [09:58] plustax: the VNC system you want to connect to is a server, it is offering a VNC service [09:58] i reinstalled ubuntu, switching from kubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu 9.10 and now flash videos can't go fullscreen in firefox. help. [09:58] okay well how do I find that information out? [09:58] jschall [09:58] you have to install a script [09:58] do I need to start a vnc server in ubuntu? [09:58] plustax: ok lets get some basics down [09:59] * wowstargate is back from Sleeping.

[09:59] of course assuming you use 64bit [09:59] plustax: you have a laptop you want to be able to remote desktop to. Are the systems which will be connecting to it on the same network or will they be connecting over the web? [10:00] they will be connecting over the web [10:00] basically ActionParsnip1 [10:00] try to vnc onto my laptop here. [10:00] hello [10:00] the router settings are good. I have been told by many sources that its something in my ubuntu [10:00] how do i set so i have numlock on on startup? [10:00] i use kubuntu [10:01] as in the ports and dmz have been set and forwarded correctly and I was told this by a professional, and they pointed me right to ubuntu [10:01] hello. how can i make gnome network manager to manage my wired networks? at the moment it only shows wireless networks and it also sais: wired network: device not managed [10:01] plustax: ok cool, http://www.debianadmin.com/images/rds/3.png is how you enable the service [10:01] yes it is enabled then. === grub_booter_ is now known as grub_booter [10:02] sterz: not 64-bit. [10:02] jschall: well i had the same problem and followed that how-to on ubuntuforums [10:02] plustax: ok then you will need to get on your router and port forward port 5800 and port 5900 to the IP of the laptop [10:02] dont know if it will work for you though [10:03] ActionParsnip1 [10:03] all that is done [10:03] plustax: i strongly recommend you use vnc through an ssh tunnel as vnc has zero encryption so is not secure [10:03] how to get the applets installed manually ? ;like gclock and gweather [10:03] plustax: ok cool, i can test your config with telnet from here [10:03] ok [10:03] need my IP? [10:03] ActionParsnip1: i found the issue [10:04] regarding the navigation of mp3s [10:04] sterz: whats the golden ticket? [10:04] i needed another gstreamer [10:04] sterz: sometimes dealing with these random little crippling bugs everywhere makes me want to switch to windows [10:04] codec [10:04] sterz: sounds right, restricted-extras gives you that [10:04] sterz: but its entirely adobe's fault [10:04] sterz: the world would be better off if flash didn't exist at all [10:04] plustax: your port forwarding is bad [10:05] is there a way to downgrade grub2 in karmic, I am unable to dual boot with grub2 [10:05] ActionParsnip1, it was gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [10:05] i had to install [10:05] jas72: you can install legacy grub if you wish [10:05] i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas? [10:05] jschall, everyone likes an utopia :) [10:05] ActionParsnip1 it i? [10:06] plustax: i cannot connect to your wan ip on port 5800 or 5900 [10:06] what needs fixing? === reactor__ is now known as reactor [10:06] ActionParsnop1 is there an easy way to do so? [10:06] plustax: you need to configure your router to allow the traffic through [10:06] sterz: offcourse everybody likes me [10:06] ActionParsnip1 is there an easy way to do so? [10:06] !grub | jas72 [10:06] jas72: 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. [10:06] ActionParsnip1 my current router setup is modem > router 1 > router 2 > me [10:06] * sterz screeches hard [10:07] :) [10:07] plustax: then you need to configure the second router to forward the traffic [10:07] plustax, in iptables that is FORWARD [10:08] ActionParsnip1 [10:08] sleepmode not working on my linux machine [10:08] ubottu another linux disto mandriva is the one i would like to dual boot don't use windows haven't done for three years [10:08] router 1 needs to be set to forward to the IP of router 2, then router 2 should forward to your PC...double NAT can be a nightmare, do you really need two routers? :) [10:08] if I allow remote access and give you login and pass could you fix it for me? [10:09] plustax: no, i dont take that sort of responsibility, and you shouldnt allow others acces to your stuff either [10:09] well I've had to professionals forward everything how its supposed to be [10:09] my second router likes to change ips [10:09] jumps between two [10:09] so we had to secure that down. [10:10] if router 2 changes IPs then that doesn't sound like a workable setup for any kind of port forwarding, IMO :/ [10:10] plustax, I recomend buying the book: Linux firewalls by Michael Rasin [10:11] plustax, though a static firewall and snort is also a option [10:11] does kvm support memory sharing? [10:12] plustax, snort can detect 22 000 ways of breaking into your computer. So if you think running linux makes you safe. Think again. [10:13] i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas? [10:13] ActionParsnip1: i get this error The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet". Do u wish to delete the applet.. [10:13] any way to get around this problem ?

[10:26] ZeekDaGeek: mplayer is the daddy [10:26] quietone: sounds like you need iCal (and possibly a WebDAV server to host it in), then people can use their own choice of iCal clients (Kontact, Evolution, yadda yadda) [10:27] Younder: I prefer friends who are human. there must be other options [10:27] aperson: ;) [10:27] no idea where you'd start with that though [10:27] hello, all , what is default keyring? how i change it ? [10:27] quietone, there are, but google yiels the best search results [10:27] Cappy: i can connect, looks like theres some weirness in your ISP or there are some network issues somewhere along the lines [10:27] G_A_C: I have set up WebDAV, though I don't think it is working yet. So, I am missing a piece of the puzzle. [10:28] Younder: maybe for you that is true [10:28] Cappy: looks like you are hitting the server then bing turned away [10:28] hrmmm damn.

I am now trying to install ubuntu using the minimal installation. It lists the partitions and then says "No filesystem could mount root, tried : ext3, ext2, ext4, fuseblk. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown block(8,1)" and stops [10:38] ZeekDaGeek: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:38] Hunt4, I'd suggest trying tab completion when filling those sorts of things :) [10:38] Hunt4, try libmad0-dev [10:40] SaBot: you will need to free up some space to install ubuntu to. I suggest you reinstall windows and use a fraction of the available space rather than using 100% which is the default, you can then use the unpartitioned space to install linux to. If you are not up for that you can boot to a live CD and resize but if you'd planned partitions you can avoid this whole fiasco [10:40] ActionParsnip1: Synaptic Package Manager tells me no I have not. [10:41] I tried using gparted before, but it wasnt working either === heinrich_ is now known as Shurakai [10:41] * SaBot tries using the alternate cd [10:42] ZeekDaGeek: grab it, it has lots of lovely codecs and useful stuff [10:42] ActionParsnip1, and eeew... java!

[10:45] aperson, yes.. but Failed appears against the ones from the main server/us server [10:45] error404notfound: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade === co_15_au_di_baya is now known as dika_g_ok [10:45] ActionParsnip1: Nope, that didn't work either unless you need to set some settings after.

[10:48] ZeekDaGeek: then find the largest file and open that, in vlc you can click file -> open disk [10:48] i found the file but what should i do with it ? [10:48] ActionParsnip1: its not allowing me to run says contact the system administrator [10:48] i just figured out that my mounting problem has to do with that xorg is starting too fast and dont wait for my cryptsetup password on my second part. how can i make it wait?

[10:56] whats the root promt [10:56] ActionParsnip1, i know its with my end but i dont know how to fix it [10:56] riktking: if the system is on the same LAN then name resolution should take place [10:56] How can I force group on a folder, when I make a file in a folder it get always the group of the user and not the folder. How can I get it of the folder and not the user? [10:56] riktking: ok is the system you are connecting to on the same network? [10:56] ActionParsnip1, no [10:57] this user.. is not an admin it seems [10:57] i did created with admin rights and all.. but it seems its not working [10:57] #fail [10:57] riktking: ok and is the server you are connecting to behind a router?

[10:59] :\ None of that worked. [10:59] c_nick: start a terminal abd type "groups" [10:59] I hate copy protection the only people it hurts are honest people.

[11:01] cze [11:01] c_nick, did yo install ubuntu? [11:01] riktking: I suppose your PC and the windows box are on the same network then?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:02] ActionParsnip1, i know but he didnt know about the pwd. for root [11:02] c_nick, then at the command line use a addgrp comman (man addgrp first) [11:02] riktking: hmm I wonder where the dns resolution failed. whether at your pc or the dyndns system... [11:02] i_is_broke: pwd = present working directory ;) [11:02] how can i force cryptsetup to wait till i entered the correct passwd? [11:02] No Manual for addgrp [11:03] ActionParsnip1, ok, thanks..didnt know..

[11:03] syockit: I'm suspecting your pc... but why would it if you seem to be able to use internet without problem (seeing you're here on IRC) [11:03] syockit, i know its buggin me [11:03] syockit, when im on the lan it ssh'd str8 in of course [11:04] c_nick: you will need to drop to root recovery console and run: usermod -a -G admin username [11:04] !password| c_nick [11:04] c_nick: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [11:04] c_nick: replace username with the name you logon with [11:04] epinky: the password is known, the account isnt in the admin group [11:04] root recovery console ?

[11:05] c_nick: its an option in grub, select recovery mode then select root [11:05] ActionParsnip1: oh, I see, sry [11:05] riktking: maybe checking windows box's putty settings would help. I don't how you're ssh-ing from the current one, but maybe you need to put in the settings [11:05] c_nick: you can then run the command and your account will be added and you will be able to use sudo etc [11:05] ActionParsnip1, it is not a unix V system [11:05] syockit, im using term command ssh @: [11:05] Younder: ?

[11:13] riktking: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openssh-client [11:13] riktking: but since you said even ping didn't work, maybe you have to compare dns resolver instead [11:13] well,can anyone tell me an irc channel about malicios shellcodes and rootkits?got a remote exploit via wifi and would like to ask somebody who has knowledge about this stuff.please help me [11:14] ActionParsnip1: wrong sirlark there maybe?

[11:21] !grub2 > cbx [11:21] cbx, please see my private message [11:21] c_nick: resewt button ok (i dont have that on my computer) [11:21] ty aperson [11:22] c_nick, just hold escape when you boot, improperly powering off your computer can lead to data loss [11:22] so u want me to RESET ? right [11:22] or shut down? [11:22] c_nick: shut down start it again [11:22] rest ought to be enough [11:22] aperson: esc didnt make grub-list to come up [11:22] grub is a boot manager, after a reset it has to be invoked. Still, never had an issue with grub not showing up [11:23] c_nick, edit your grub timeout in /etc/default/grub [11:23] unless the timeout has been set to 0, or the list of options only has one entry [11:23] in any case the proper way to fix a boot manager issue is probably to use a livecd [11:23] aperson: so I can't copy the lines from my grub entries to my grub2 entries? [11:23] drunk as fuck [11:23] cbx: no [11:24] Hello everyone, from yesterday suddenly my LVMs are not mounting during boot even though I have their entries in fstab, can any one help me with this please? [11:24] !language | maple1 [11:24] maple1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:24] c_nick: if you have multiple recovery choose the one with higest number [11:24] aperson: Grub Timeout means what [11:24] c_nick, it is the time grub's menu appears for [11:24] hmm ok [11:24] so thats in seconds [11:24] Sinkro63: Toshiba Satellite U300 [11:24] sirlark: No it is i ran a mount --bind and it finds all the windows partitions just misses out on ubuntu [11:24] c_nick, gksu gedit /etc/default/grub [11:24] sirlark: Still no luck [11:24] sirlark: If i run os-prober just as root from the live cd i find it. [11:25] aperson: read the Q [11:25] yes i have opened that file [11:25] sirlark: yeah before chrooting to mnt [11:25] madrazr, that's sincerely something I never faced. Do they show up fine in gparted? [11:25] sorry, I forgot that whole families came to linux channels [11:25] Sinkro63, I'll let c_nick handle it :) [11:25] Brandano: yup, I can even mount them manually after loggin in [11:25] :) [11:25] aperson: cant do i am not a superuser here ... [11:25] (main issue)* [11:26] aperson: ok. (do U know whats his problem is?) [11:26] will anything happen if I edit /etc/boot/grub.conf? I know its not the right thing to do, but can i do it? [11:26] what is the replacement for virt-manager on ubuntu 9.10? doesn it exist any more? [11:26] madrazr, something changed at user permission level? [11:26] i will try his method and lets see what happens [11:26] Sinkro63, I just came in, sorry, but I'd like the user tell me his problem :) [11:26] Brandano: not that I know of at least, and no one else uses this machine other than me [11:26] aperson: ok [11:26] knifepoint: after mounting /dev with bind, does the device you need to see actually appear in /mnt/dev? [11:27] Brandano: is there any log I can check out for this? [11:27] sirlark: Yeah its there alright very strange [11:27] madrazr: but when mounting them manually do you have to enter your password? [11:27] or can I see what is happening during the boot? [11:27] can someone install ubuntu for me? I'm too drunk [11:28] 我来l [11:28] Brandano: yup, I have to mount it as root [11:28] sirlark: It is the same device that i have mounted to /mnt does that make a difference? === roamer is now known as Guest50074 [11:28] madrazr: then you don't have the proper permissions for automounting as regular user in fstab [11:28] Brandano: Oh! what should I do for that? [11:29] hello [11:29] !hi | halvor [11:29] halvor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [11:29] i have a really strange situation [11:29] never experienced souch thing [11:29] halvor, best to just ask it right-off :) [11:29] madrazr: looking it up, gimme a sec. [11:29] knifepoint: I doubt it, but I'm not sure... I'm not an ubuntu expert (gentooist myself), and I've never used os-prober ... I do know a little about chroot though ;) Can you read the device in /mnt/dev? [11:30] Brandano: sure, thank you so much [11:30] skype uses greek fonts even tho the whle system is set to english [11:30] knifepoint: if you can then it's not a locking issue (which I really don't think it is) [11:30] thanks, aperson :) [11:30] halvor, how did you install it? [11:30] sirlark: how would i test that? [11:31] aperson: i downloaded the deb from skype's website and from that [11:31] is there a ubuntu package for stackless python? [11:31] halvor, do you still have the deb? I'd try re-installing it first to see if that fixes it [11:31] halvor: do you have the same problem with any other QT applications? [11:31] I love you all [11:32] aperson: i've tried to reinstall [11:32] knifepoint: less? (or something a little less drastic) head -c 1 /mnt/dev/devname [11:32] maple1: I love you all, too [11:32] halvor, did you purge any configurations first? [11:32] sirlark: i can cat it... can't less because its not supported format [11:32] halvor, a reinstall may not touch those === hemanth is now known as n3rd [11:33] aperson: hmm... i haven't purged [11:33] aperson: what to do then? [11:33] knifepoint: then it's readable within the chroot jail ... sorry, I got nothing more [11:33] Hi i think that worked [11:33] halvor, you should be able to do a: sudo aptitude purge skype === zatukrami is now known as d]8[b [11:33] guys, does wine supports CS:Condition Zero? [11:33] now when i do sudo apt-get install something.. it does not say ask system admin.. :) [11:33] I cannot install win xp sp3 on virtualbox :( I think it is a sata problem [11:33] aperson: i try that now [11:34] isolat3dsh33p, I'd look at the winddb [11:34] Hi, I have removable media (/dev/sdb1) that I want mounted read write at /home/guy/mountpoint. It is ext4. What should my fstab entry look like? [11:34] !wine > isolat3dsh33p [11:34] isolat3dsh33p, please see my private message [11:34] sirlark: dammit well at least i got some fancy cat screens out of it [11:34] c_nick: merry christmas [11:34] but now i have another issue.. now i want to create a user who has admin rights.. and that user access another home folder [11:34] halvor: skype is a QT application. As I recall, you can set up a configuration file in your home directory to select default fonts in QT apps. I can't remember the details [11:34] I cannot install win xp sp3 on virtualbox :( I think it is a sata problem, is there any thing I can do? merry christmas and stuff everyone [11:34] knifepoint: and next you try to remeber the command to reset the terminal ;) [11:34] c_nick, you don't have admin rights, yes? [11:34] Sinkro63: hope so :) [11:34] aperson: Just wan't a quick anser... ;) [11:34] aperson: no now i got those [11:35] now when i go to System->Admin->users and groups [11:35] knifepoint: what are you trying to do exactly? [11:35] aperson: okkei, now skype is gone :S [11:35] there when i try to create a new user it says.. chose another home folder [11:35] I have entry (/dev/sdb1 /home/guy/Projects ext4 rw 0 0 ) in fstab but when I plug in removable media it says only root can mount it. How do I give my user premission [11:35] it [11:35] knifepoint: i.e. can you go the manual root? [11:35] aperson: The following packages will be REMOVED: skype{p} [11:35] halvor, re-install away then. alternatively, you could try installing skype from the mediabuntu repositories [11:36] halvor, but lets see if the deb works :) [11:36] aperson: okkei, thank you [11:36] isolat3dsh33p, well, that's more of a wine issue and not ubuntu, so this isn't quite the place to ask :) [11:36] guyvdb_: plug it in and run: sudo mount -a [11:36] aperson: i'll tell what's up as soon is i'm done with it [11:36] aperson: thanks a lot [11:36] sirlark: its grub2 (1.97) so the manual root scares and confuses me :P [11:36] Aperculum: :) [11:36] aperson: :) [11:36] ActionParsnip1 I want in in fstab - I can mount fine from the command line [11:37] ActionParsnip1: aperson Sinkro63 how can i create a new user who could access the old home older.. [11:37] how do I get the dependency-based init boot to recalculate the orders once I change some of the initfiles? [11:37] hi, can anyone tell me the command to start the gui for akonadi server settings? [11:37] sirlark: sorry i meant route. what do you mean by manual root? [11:37] please if anyone knows an irc channel about security issues let me know.got a hard problem, [11:37] ActionParsnip1 I figured it out... thx [11:37] guyvdb_, if you want a gui to edit what partitions get mounted where and with what permissions, there is pysdm [11:37] knifepoint: but all you are trying to do is make a particular partition bootable and specify the kernel image right? [11:38] guyvdb_: add user as an option in fstab then, it will allow users to mount it [11:38] madrazr: essentially you ought to have "user" in the fstab options for th specific partitions [11:38] ActionParsnip1, aperson got it thx [11:38] madrazr: to allow mounting as a user [11:38] #linux [11:38] Brandano: Oh Ok === john is now known as Guest50125 [11:39] naturally, file system permissions still apply [11:39] hi, can anyone tell me the comand to start the gui for akonadi-settings? (should show up within kde-systemsettings) [11:39] My ound isn't owrking [11:39] Whats wrong with this statement? “sudo mount -o loop restrictedDrivers.nvidia.img /mnt” [11:39] sirlark: Yeah pretty much i have windows partitions going just need the one ubuntu partition working. I've never done the manual way before so i was hoping for automatic. [11:39] ActionParsnip1: setting ANT_HOME to /user/share/ant fixes my problem. Should the ant package not put this environment variable into the 'global' environment. On gentoo this would be a file in /etc/env.d but I don't know the equivalent in ubuntu [11:40] jolaren: what is the error? [11:40] jolaren: you need: sudo mount -o loop -t udf ./restrictedDrivers.nvidia.img /mnt [11:40] Brandano: Oh Ok [11:40] I will do a reboot once and try [11:40] thanks a lot for the help [11:41] madrazr: I hope it works. Try unmounting and remounting manually before rebooting [11:41] Brandano: sure [11:41] at least you can reset things if it fails mounting at all [11:41] jolaren: may help too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149197 [11:41] ok i got through with that too [11:42] hi, can anyone tell me the comand to start the gui for akonadi-settings?

What do you mean? [11:47] vak, I'm sure there are plenty out on the 'net, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to make your own [11:48] jolaren, you are renaming a file. [11:48] jolaren: if you are looking to convert the format, then no rename is not sufficient, use something like iat [11:49] ActionParsnip1 what do you mean ? [11:49] Hi, Is there a program for reading TIVO hard drives? [11:49] jolaren: or bin2iso [11:49] aperson: i managed to add the medibuntu karmic repo [11:49] aperson: OK, thx.

I double-checked, skype should be in their repos [11:52] c_nick: rm -rf $folder_name [11:52] I have a HDD with a UDF filesystem. Is there a program to mount?

[11:54] :) [11:54] katakbuta: The command is 'gpasswd'. [11:54] * jsoft_ is mincing around with lisp [11:55] tuntun: Ubuntu should already come with UDF support - at least read-only (it's needed for reading DVDs) [11:55] vak: Desktop: http://vm.swingrider.net/ubuntu/910/ Server:http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/#ubuntu9.10 [11:55] mcphail, It won't mount the HDD [11:55] lartza_: i mean giving the user ability to use sudo [11:56] add him to the sudoers list [11:56] visudo [11:56] okay [11:56] tuntun: what error do you get?

This will automatically let him use 'sudo'. [11:57] mcphail, "unable to mount location, can't mount file" [11:57] i get this error all the time when i try to add the weather applet.. The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet". do u want to delete this applet from your configuration.. someone told me that there is config file somewhere when u delete that file.. it regenerates a new one.. thus resolving all the issues [11:57] tuntun: and what command did you use to mount it?

[12:01] Kartagis, aperson : Thank you. But what if I want to use my own image. What is a good location to store it? [12:01] diddy, same place [12:01] ActionParsnip1: Is the lack of the ant package setting up ANT_HOME something that should be reported to someone upstream? I'm assuming Ubuntu manages environment variables in packages, and this seems to go against the 'just works' principle [12:01] Kartagis, but only root has access to that folder.

But it's only for file transfer, not for shell access. [12:04] ohk so how should i get that enabled [12:04] On one machine, which is connected to internet via cabel I created a shared folder, but I can't see it on my laptop(connected with wireless AP). They should be in the same LAN, right? I gave all permissions also read-write. What else doI need to set up??? [12:04] i mean to connect and transfer that files [12:04] between two terminals [12:04] aperson, I used tivo to mean pvr, It's actually from a pvr [12:04] tuntun, ahh, that makes all the difference then [12:05] jakaPre, what's the client's os?

But, just in case, ask him to type « NetworkManager » in the terminal. and it's case sensitive [12:09] aperson: how do I find that out ??

[12:11] sorry for flooding :) [12:11] dimitar, yes and if any gnome libraries are needed, it will be a requirement of the gnome app and install them as needed [12:12] c_nick: Okay, what does the message dell you to do? [12:12] ikonia, its a HDD from a pvr, formated as udf according to info from a forum discussion [12:12] LogicFan:thank you... [12:12] dimitar: sure but you will need to reinstall the app you want so you can reinstal the deps it needs [12:12] mcphail its a HDD from a pvr, formated as udf according to info from a forum discussion [12:12] ActionParsnip1:thanks [12:12] <_scavenger_> @dimitar Open up Synaptic and remove Gnome, then before clicking 'Apply' set the GNOME apps you want to keep. [12:12] tuntun: most odd to be udf [12:12] c_nick: note the last part of the message [12:13] tuntun: are there any partitions on the disk? [12:13] Sacho: it tells me to add it [12:13] tuntun: could you show me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" in a pastebin please [12:13] in known list of hosts.. but i cannot go everywhere adding right ? [12:13] _scavenger_ok i am installing now KDE. [12:13] "It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed" [12:13] hi guys [12:13] c_nick: You just need to remove the incorrect key.

[12:14] leonbravo hi [12:14] a little help [12:14] erUSUL: Fingerprinting can detect Linux, but not Debian [12:14] it says offending key : 5 [12:14] tuntun: show me the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb please in a pastebin [12:14] leonbravo ask? [12:14] c_nick: It even tells you the filename and the line number. [12:14] sudo aptitude update [12:15] grawity: point taken [12:15] whenever i start empathy i get a message that a application account manager wants to acces the default keyring and then i have to enter my pass. this didnt happened before. whats wrong?? [12:15] laonbravo:what with that? [12:15] it s trying to access a proxy [12:15] aperson: can't handle smg ... both computers [12:15] leonbravo:be specific? [12:15] mcphail, im not sure, mountmanager doesn't show any [12:15] that I only use at uni [12:15] not at home where i am [12:15] tuntun: use ikonia's command [12:15] let me show you [12:16] leonbravo, dont paste here use pastebin [12:16] papul: Is it the same as your login password?

[12:17] jakaPre, smb [12:17] papul: When you login normally, Ubuntu uses the password you entered to automatically unlock the keyring. [12:17] can I change window manager in xfce from metacity to fluxbox? [12:17] ohhh ok grawity [12:17] papul: When you have auto-login enabled, Ubuntu doesn't know the password. So it asks you to unlock the keyring. [12:17] hmm [12:17] papul: You can open 'Passwords and Encryption Keys', and then change the keyring's password to a blank one. [12:18] grawity, i guess thats not a good thing to do [12:18] aperson: Error: Failed to mount Windows share [12:18] Please select another viewer and try again. [12:18] tuntun: please paste to a pastebin rather than pm. That way anyone in the channel can help [12:18] aperson: that was client machine.. [12:18] mcphail, ok [12:18] papul: Why not? You already have auto-login enabled. Removing the keyring's password won't decrease security. [12:18] grawity, i'll let it remain [12:19] grawity, thanks for the help :) [12:19] tuntun: anyway, doesn't look as if the disk has been partitioned. I wonder if the information you have on its format is correct? [12:19] ttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6df7fdff [12:19] aperson: on the PC it still can't handle 'smp' [12:20] smb [12:20] mcphail, ikonia, I see it says 'Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table' [12:20] i hate the debian installation system [12:20] tuntun: that's interesting, I'd expect to have at least one partition there [12:21] papul: use the minimal installation then, uses apt-get to install the system you want :) [12:21] aperson: ... ok it works on PC (share host)... [12:21] lmao lol wut as I enabled the virtualisation feature in my mainboards bios the installation of windows xp on virtualbox went well [12:21] Hi again all... [12:21] Whats the difference between the minimal install and using the alternative cd and installing CLI? [12:21] ActionParsnip1, thats not what i mean. i mean to say that i hate the way apt-get installs software [12:22] ActionParsnip1, its not fast [12:22] aperson: but on laptop there's still an error: [12:22] Error: Failed to mount Windows share [12:22] Please select another viewer and try again.

Ever tried to install Flash? It takes ages. [12:22] grawity, yea [12:22] mcphail, ikonia, Here's something I missed : "requires a firmware disc from panasonic in the drive so that it can format HDD correctly" I guess the filesystem must be custom or proprietry [12:22] SaBot: the minimal iso is smaller [12:23] pacman is fast [12:23] tuntun: wow - yes [12:23] ^^^ in arch [12:23] tuntun: that would be my guess as well [12:23] i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubunut 9.10 i am unable to get in to 1024×768 resolution or higher. can some one help me ? [12:23] erUSUL: if install all the default packages that the minimal install does, is there a large difference in performace between the two?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:24] mcphail, the command gets random characters. [12:24] alright then, thanks [12:24] tuntun: it was a long shot... [12:24] hello, after I installed updates in ubuntu (wubi), I can't boot ubuntu anymore, I only get a grub commandline window, is this a common problem? And does anyone know a solution? [12:25] wubi is not a good option to install ubuntu [12:25] I know, it was just for testing if all the drivers work well [12:25] i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubunut 9.10 i am unable to get in to 1024×768 resolution or higher. can some one help me ? [12:25] <_scavenger_> @warddr Did the set of updates contain a kernel upgrade? [12:26] manjula, ubunut??? [12:26] mcphail, ikonia, thanks for your help [12:26] _scavenger_, I installed every ubuntu 9.10 update since the CD was made [12:26] papul: sorry typo ubuntu [12:26] First time I updated [12:26] manjula, ur monitor size? [12:26] i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubuntu 9.10 i am unable to get in to 1024×768 resolution or higher. can some one help me ?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [12:27] papul: i think its 15 inches [12:27] <_scavenger_> @warddr OK. [12:27] manjula, ur monitor size? [12:27] guys, which should I install, wine from the repo or wine from its website? [12:27] manjula, 15 inches dont support more than 1027*768 reso i guess [12:27] <_scavenger_> @warddr Try to download the Super Grub Disk. [12:27] hi again, please check my problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m78cc6709 [12:27] i may be wrong [12:27] how do I install gnome on ubuntu server edition? [12:27] papul: if you install minimal it will only install what you need to install rather than the many Gb of data which comes with a bloated install of ubuntu [12:28] papul: then i think its 17 inches coz anyway i use to work in hihger resoultion with previous ubuntu and also in windows [12:28] <_scavenger_> @warddr Super Grub Disk is a small ISO file. I believe Wubi can boot (run) from ISO files. [12:28] _scavenger_, And what exactly should I do with it? [12:28] superpiiii: why did you install server when you wanted a desktop system? [12:28] leonbravo:change the server [12:28] superpiiii: sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop-envoirment [12:28] <_scavenger_> @warddr In the first menu, choose Super Grub Disk. In the second, !LINUX!. Ubuntu should start normally. [12:28] superpiiii: or ubuntu-desktop if you want the whole lot [12:28] hi all [12:28] superpiiii: if you install that you will get exactly the same as the desktop system with an extra kernel installed [12:28] i tried using graphical options it gave me the same erro [12:29] manjula: « lspci -k » [12:29] leonbravo:change the update server from update manager [12:29] other select best server [12:29] superpiiii: you have just defeated the whole reason there are 2 different install models [12:29] i tried that [12:29] papul: ok what info u want from that ? [12:29] Is there a channel for ubuntu on ARM? [12:29] leonbravo:first set the main server then try to update then change to best server [12:30] the problem it s not with the server but somehow it keeps the proxy in some place [12:30] manjula, ????

[12:31] Homely_Girl: last time I tried that it was "plug and play", but your dongle may vary! [12:32] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Of course. [12:32] mcphail: I got karmic seeing it, but not sure wot numbers to put in where on properties [12:32] my ubuntu freezes at the startup screen, the one with the white circle thingy [12:32] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie No error messages or anything?

[12:37] peaceful1: uninstall the google-chriome-unstable pacakge first [12:37] Homely_Girl: it will probably be a different version of the dongle. i think most of them are linux compatible so stick with it. I can only suggest you do a bit of googling for your particular model [12:37] TTY ? I am a bit of newbie to this [12:37] mcphail: Thanks 4 the advice. :) [12:37] dimitar: same problem says check your network [12:37] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Sorry.

[12:48] Dr_Willis: I have just got hold of a SheevaPlug and am wondering whether to keep ubuntu or switch to debian [12:49] boritek, what does uname -m in terminal say [12:49] _scavenger_: yes [12:49] No, mine is a 32 one [12:49] boritek: even with 4gb theres still some memory reserved by the system. But 1gb missing seems extreme. [12:49] thanks for your suggestion [12:49] core duo [12:49] boritek: are you sure your motherboard supports more than 3GB? [12:49] Dr_Willis: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/info.htm [12:49] boritek, core duo is not 64 bit [12:49] Slart: yes [12:49] hi [12:49] mcphail: no idea what is better. :) depends on your needs I guess. - only ARM thing i got is my NSLU2 [12:49] ActionParsnip1: looking now. :) [12:49] the manual says i can extend it to 4GB [12:50] it is: Acer Aspire 9422WSMi [12:50] laptop [12:50] boritek: check uname -m .. like bazhang said.. [12:50] Dr_Willis: http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/01/meet-pegatron-199-arm-based-netbook.html [12:50] boritek, core2duo is, core duo is not; install linux-generic-pae for all 4GB in 32bit [12:50] Dr_Willis: looks niiiice [12:50] Dr_Willis: just wondering how long the support on ARM will be. I don't think the SheevaPlug is supported beyond 9.04 so ubuntu may not be my best choice for serverOS [12:50] uname -m : x86_64 [12:51] boritek, did you mean core2duo? [12:51] mcphail: well i Thought ive seen arm based netbooks out with ubuntu at some sites.. and other arm based ubuntu gizmos. [12:51] bazhang: ok tx, but right now it is a 64bit system [12:51] yes core2duo [12:51] boritek: hmm.. I didn't think 64bit ubuntu even started on a 32bit processor.. but if you're running 64bit then I don't know why it's not seeing all your memory.. odd [12:51] T5200 [12:52] mcphail: all these articals i read go on about how arm could be the next big thing for mobile devices.. but im not seeing any yet. [12:52] Dr_Willis: seems ideal for my home web/fileserver. It only draws 7 watts [12:52] boritek, what does free -m in terminal say [12:52] Mem: 3018 2493 525 0 272 963 [12:53] so its 3GB again [12:53] is it not the bios which stops linux to see and use 4GB memory? [12:53] mcphail: check out the fitpc for low power use [12:53] boritek: not really [12:54] because it only sees 3GB [12:54] i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubuntu 9.10 i am unable to get in to 1024×768 resolution or higher. can some one help me ? [12:54] altough i have even upgraded my bios [12:54] What exactly does this regex find? if ($var1 =~ m/[a-z][0-9]{2,5}/i) { [12:54] ActionParsnip1: i already have my device! I need to know how long 9.04 will be supported on ARM, otherwise I'll need to scrub the install and put on debian [12:54] Do I need to install Samba to share my printer installed on my Ubuntu computer to my Vista computer?

[12:56] WOW [12:56] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I've been trying to get it to work for a while now. [12:56] Hmm. 9.04 was not a LTS. so it will be supported as long as it would be on other archs Id think. [12:56] AceKing: i always install samba anyway :) [12:57] AceKing: you can, its way easier [12:57] hello all [12:57] Dr_Willis: Do I need t do anything special after I install it? [12:57] what is the best vm software for ubuntu currently? [12:57] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie I prefer VirtualBox. [12:57] Dr_Willis: that's what I thought/worried. I don't think the processor is supported at all in 9.10 so I'll probably wipe ubuntu [12:57] AceKing: the smb.conf may need tweaking but essentially its one of the easiest ways [12:57] AceKing: i dont think so. I always set up my linux users with home shares however. and give them samba passwords [12:57] nitsckie: don't know which is best.. I like virtualbox [12:57] nitsckie: none are best nor worst [12:58] nitsckie: there is no single best app for anything ever [12:58] mcphail: no idea on the current arm status.

Restarts dont do any good, neither does "killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse* then press alt+f2 and type pulseaudio and press enter", and i have TESTED all the options that come from the drop down menu in the sound preferences, with static, or or some error [13:36] fuzzy_: there are billions of guides if you search [13:36] havent found any that explains how to do it from inside ubuntu [13:37] theres a bunchload of windows apps that can do it [13:37] theres a bunchload of windows apps that can do it [13:37] fuzzy_: do yu have a windows system you can use? [13:37] oops,sorry [13:37] wait - under the partition editor i can still see my partitions - that means the HD is doing SOMETHING - now how to recover it with a live CD? [13:37] are there any decent linux rpg games? [13:37] ActionParsnip1, nope [13:37] fuzzy_: fyi, most of those need to be run under win xp [13:37] How to search in APT-Get? (from terminal) [13:38] SaBot, yes i know [13:38] !games | protojay [13:38] protojay: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [13:38] <_scavenger_> @protojay Nah, I never came across any. Zork is cool, though. [13:38] protojay: I need to try Yo Frankie! It looks decent. [13:38] I got WoW to run nicely under WINE once if that counts [13:38] but it gotta be a simple way right? just copy the contents of the iso over to the flashdrive, and go into fdisk to make the stick active and bootable? [13:38] vozhyk__: you can use apt-cache search or if you want a cli gui then just type sudo aptitude [13:39] protojay: http://www.playdeb.net [13:39] scunizi: thank you [13:39] <_besH> sometimes after using gnome for a while I get into the situation where I need to hit alt-tab twice to switch windows, instead of once [13:40] how can i cound how many .deb files there are inside an specific folder? [13:40] luist: ls -l dir/*.deb|wc -l [13:40] Is there anyway to make CPU scaling disabled default for every boot [13:40] llutz: thanks [13:41] <_besH> luist: if you want to search subdirs too, find . -name \*.deb | wc -l [13:42] The game frets on fire looks fun.. :D [13:43] isolat3dsh33p: its awesome [13:43] isolat3dsh33p: i play it daily :D [13:43] my ubuntu server 9.10 x64 has been frozen for 10 minutes during bootup with the messages "program: recovering journal", "program: clean...blocks...", "home: recovering journal" and "home: clean...files...blocks", is this normal? should i let it continue? [13:43] ActionParsnip1: Is it keyboard friendly? [13:44] was trying to download lubuntu,supposed to be 449mbs but the tells me when doanload started xmbs of 749mbs is that a mistake on lubuntu as if that sixe the livecd wikk not fit on a 700 cd anyone advice [13:44] dataviruset: it's probably doing a drive check by the looks of it.. it may take a while depending on the size of your drives. [13:44] dataviruset: sounds like unclean shutdown, your disks needs to be checked(that takes some time) [13:44] isolat3dsh33p: sure, different hardware will allow differnt key combos so you will have to play around a little [13:44] isolat3dsh33p: some chords arent playable and this is catered for by allowing 2 finger chords at the detrement of score [13:45] ok, thank you guys, i started to get worried :) [13:45] ActionParsnip1: Which version did you installed? The repo or the uptodate version? === metra is now known as dreamy [13:46] isolat3dsh33p: i use the mfh mod [13:47] can anyone help me updating my intel gma500 on ubuntu 9.10? [13:47] ActionParsnip1: mfh mod? I'm installing it from repo now :D [13:47] i tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo [13:48] but after that i was only able to boot with low grafic mode [13:48] how to properly cut down ubuntu for 256mb ram old laptop, just for emails, and web? [13:48] meero: perhaps xubuntu [13:49] or the USB key version [13:49] dataviruset: i like gnome :-) [13:49] gtg, bye [13:50] would it be bad to remove the extra xserver-xorg-video-* packages that I'm not using? [13:50] meero: use minimal-cd [13:50] !minimal [13:50] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:50] meero: well, xorg is quite like gnome ;) [13:50] hm [13:50] ahci is not supported out of the box? [13:50] is that a LFS? [13:51] datacrusher: it's xfce. I believe [13:51] isolat3dsh33p: that's right ;o [13:51] llutz: what is minimal cd?? [13:51] dataviruset: wrong name.. LOL.. :) [13:52] !minimal |meero [13:52] meero: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:52] isolat3dsh33p: i knoow... i'm getting sad ;( [13:52] haha [13:52] dataviruset: yes, its "quite" like gnome [13:52] isolat3dsh33p: it stands on its own and doesnt need anything from the rep [13:52] dataviruset: but not gnome [13:52] does someone here already tried to run 4 X11 , each on a différent screen, with 2 graphic cards? [13:52] meero: :D [13:53] !minimal |meero [13:53] meero: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:53] meero: imho it's pointless to strip down "bloated" distros, better just install what you really need. [13:53] Does anyone know if there's an IRC channel for NTOP? [13:53] using the system>admin>partition editor - i deleted all partitions, restarted and am now installing from the live cd - yay [13:53] ActionParsnip1: I'm downloading the repo version already :( [13:54] llutz: sounds, good, so i just install this minimal-cd and then add firefox , thunderbirt etc..? [13:54] ActionParsnip1, do you think wine might be able to run those windows tools in ubuntu? [13:54] hello. i had windows 7 and i formatted and install xp (had ubuntu on dual boot). anyway, then it booted straight to win xp. so i reinstalled the the grub loader. and i can boot into ubuntu, but now i cant get into xp. there is a vista menu to lopad uip into vista, but that doesnt take me to win xp, it just crashes. how do i fix this? [13:54] meero: kinda, yes === mathieui_ is now known as mathieui [13:54] llutz: why kinda? [13:54] isolat3dsh33p: the repo one comes with a few songs, the mod comes with none [13:55] technologiclee: you can always use the "use entire disk" option during the installation. :/ [13:55] meero: saving space and using ff/tb sounds... strange [13:55] fuzzy_: no idea [13:55] ActionParsnip1, oki [13:55] ActionParsnip1: That means you can place your own song to it? [13:55] llutz: ok, so what would u use? [13:56] isolat3dsh33p: sure [13:56] meero: _i_ would prefer things like opera and mutt/claws [13:56] ActionParsnip1: Awesome! Anyway gtg dinner. cya ^_~ [13:57] <_scavenger_> Bye, sheep! [13:57] So I have installed ubuntu successfully, but if I do not disable AHCI it runs terribly slow and buggy, otherwise its perfect, a lot of people can use ubuntu with ahci out of the box, so whats the issue here? [13:57] llutz: yea me too , but is for my mother, who has problems with finding desktop icons :-) not mentioning the mutt in cli :-) [13:58] I have some users that I don't want to appear in the login window of Karmic. [13:58] That's interesting, for the past 8 minutes or so there's been no people in this page, and now I click on it again, there's 1318 suddenly join at once. What are the chances of that happening, eh? [14:00] When I ssh into the linux machine using my terminal I'm forever being irritated by the passwords because I can't see what they are so I type them wrong all the time but backspacing doesn't seem to work whenever I type them wrong. Is this an ssh problem? [14:00] Rods_Tiger: sounds like you visited a different page previously.. this channel is typically over 1100 nicks at all times. [14:00] or had a netplit [14:00] 1099 asking questions, 1 answering [14:00] How to download a package with GWget instead of doing it automatically in APT-Get? [14:00] hello. how can i make gnome network manager to manage my wired networks? at the moment it only shows wireless networks and it also sais: wired network: device not managed [14:01] llutz: do u know in mutts how to view images? [14:01] Rods_Tiger: you don't see * instead of password chars due to security reasons. [14:02] there's no need for security - I'm the only one here. What it is doing is preventing me from typing properly [14:02] burg: install drivers? [14:02] meero: there is an ascii program that will display them but it's more like ascii art.. not really a recognizable picture.. [14:02] How to download a package with GWget instead of doing it automatically in APT-Get? [14:02] but that's not the issue - the issue is backspacing to correct the inevitable mistakes doesn't seem to be recognised as such [14:02] vozhyk__: check http://packages.ubuntu.com, search for your package, copy the link and feed it to wget [14:03] Rods_Tiger: you're blaming the computer on your typing? [14:03] yes [14:03] // add "mem=2000mb" to /etc/default/grub, at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [14:03] Azeotrope: at the very first moment after i installed ubuntu, network manager was managing wired network too. then i`ve installed some updates ubuntu asked me to, and it didn`t manage wired networks anymore [14:03] meero: i.e. using zgv [14:03] how does this look like? [14:03] scunizi: so there is nothing to display it properly? [14:03] in grub [14:03] well, actually, I'm blaming my typing on the computer [14:04] llutz: do u know how to configure it? i was unsuccessfull [14:04] meero: that's why gui's were created for all those wonderful rendering engines [14:04] zorrolero: I know, but I don't know where to place it. maybe /var/cache/apt/ ? === Floops[w]1 is now known as Fringe [14:04] burg: so you wired network is not working now? === berrybarry is now known as berrybarry|away [14:04] scunizi: yep :-) [14:04] actually i have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [14:04] how do i add mem there [14:04] meero: i did it only once, ages ago. so no, sorry [14:04] it takes about 8 or 10 goes to get my password in, because of the mistakes, but I can't backspace over the mistakes once it is made. Is this because of ssh or not? [14:05] zorrolero: I know, but I don't know where to place it. maybe /var/cache/apt/ ? [14:05] it seems to treat the backspacing as "wrong" [14:05] Rods_Tiger: have you tried backspacing a bunch and retyping the entire password? [14:05] vozhyk__: dont repeat your questions, we all can read [14:05] yes [14:05] Azeotrope: it is working, i am connected to internet right now by wired network, but network manager is not managing it, and i don`t know what is managing it, so i can`t change any setting to it [14:05] any occurrence of backspacing seems to render the whole effort as "wrong" [14:06] Azeotrope: also, the network manager shows the disconnected icon [14:06] burg: pastebin your ifconfig output please [14:06] meero: tried using ~/.mailcap: "image/*;zgv %s" [14:06] even excessive backspaces to more than clear all that I've typed [14:06] Which cd-burning program would you recommend in CLI? [14:06] heoa - growisofs [14:06] Rods_Tiger: so pre-prep your password in gedit, nano whatever.. and then just cut and paste it. [14:06] vozhyk__: when you downloaded the package you can just "dpkg --install $PACKAGENAME" [14:06] no, that's not the solution, that's a diversion [14:07] Azeotrope: i`m sorry, i don`t know what`s that and/or where can i find it [14:07] the solution is to find out what's objecting to the backspaces. I'm wondering if it's ssh [14:07] I think that Rods_Tiger problem is that ssh parses the backspace as a key code thus adding it to the password [14:07] Rods_Tiger: that saves you from frustration and your typing skills [14:07] I have two hard disks ubuntu on the master and xp on the slave. I have tried update grub but xp will no load. I would rather not put grub on the xp drive so I can remove the ubuntu drive and xp will still work [14:07] Azeotrope: found it, 1 min [14:07] it must be ssh that's doing that then [14:07] burg: go to the terminal, and type sudo ifconfig [14:07] zorrolero: But it doesn't resolve dependencies [14:08] I hate the fussiness of computers - they're ridiculously fussy regarding the delta between what I thype and what I mean [14:08] vozhyk__: your problem then [14:08] Azeotrope: http://pastebin.ca/1724841 [14:08] hi all [14:08] but usually I can backspace over errors, except in a password, when I'm ssh'ing in from the terminal [14:08] <_scavenger_> @Rods_Tiger That's not just computers. I remember seeing someone who closed of an email with Retards instead of Regards. [14:09] Rods_Tiger: I have no dvd, just 700Mb cd and I want to burn ubuntu_server_edition.iso. Can I do it with the program? [14:09] heoa: cdrecord [14:09] heoa - maybe, but cdrecord would be more direct, but harder to understand at first [14:10] burg: so, after installing wireless and some ubuntu updates this issue appeared? [14:10] read up on both cdrecord and growisofs [14:10] burg: check this out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/after-installation-of-wireless-wired-network-device-is-unmanaged-666691/ [14:10] they're both needlessly complicated, therefore ideal linux cli programs === mithilesh is now known as rahilm [14:10] but growisofs is a bit more sane [14:11] !fr | Exaltia [14:11] Exaltia, please see my private message [14:11] Azeotrope: yes [14:12] heoa - personally I'd never be bothered with the command line while there's better alternatives in guis [14:12] Rods_Tiger: such as? [14:12] burg: check that site. [14:12] depends [14:12] hi, i want to "updatedb", but for a specific harddrive partition, how do i specify that ? thanks [14:12] what window-occurring thing do you use? [14:13] gnome has a way of burning cds that's so simple that nobody can find it [14:13] tim167: you dont. locate is systemwide. guess you could use find and specify everytrhing below a ceertain mountpoint.... [14:13] can i install software in ubuntu in, say, another partition? [14:14] Azeotrope: that file looks like that: http://pastebin.ca/1724845 , but i`m not shure what to edit/remove [14:14] maco: hmm, so all the disks connected via USB get scanned too by updatedb ? [14:14] tim167: yeah, should [14:15] maco, hmm so that means that each time i connect or disconnect a disk i have to do updatedb for the whole system, i can not do it only for the disk i just connected i guess... [14:15] tim167: right [14:15] tim167: /etc/updatedb.conf [14:15] tim167: you may want to just learn to use the find command... [14:15] burg: comment the last 2 lines and let's see if that works out [14:15] maco, ah ok, i might do that [14:16] does anyone know how to fix gnome-terminal position and dimensions ?? [14:16] without --geomtry [14:16] burg: after doing so, do sudo service network restart [14:16] Azeotrope: i get this message: network: unrecognized service [14:17] hmm... uncomment those lines back and restart the service again. [14:18] Azeotrope: i get the same message, no matter if those lines are commented or not [14:19] ;zsihf;dsznf;kds;dszlknf [14:19] burg: i'm lost. try to ask somebody with more experience [14:19] ok, thanks [14:19] burg, watsup ?

[14:45] anyone know how to ban an ioport from being used ?my pci printer port card doesn't work in Karmic but did in others, the only differentce I was able to find is that in karmic parport1 has two /proc/ioports listings [14:45] Im using kde and kate seems to not save my settings like adding the terminal to the bottom. [14:46] jenda, Brasero used to give me errors for seemingly no reason, I switched over to "K3b" (another burner) and its worked fine for me. Sorry this isnt really a "solution" but if you cant troubleshoot your Brasero problems maybe its worth a try? [14:47] sarthorks: it autospawns when you start a audio-using app [14:47] jenda: i think streenz has the best solution. Brasero brings a world of pain and can fail in many different ways. K3B works. [14:48] * Church uses pirated nero linux version for similar reasons as k3b. [14:48] it works, and unlike k3b is gtk+, not qt. [14:48] maco: i didnt get what you meant. could you explain it to me? [14:49] sarthorks: pulseaudio respawned because it starts automatically if anything tries to use the sound ard [14:49] Church: please don't recommend software piracy here [14:49] maco: okay, but what should i do now? [14:49] i'd use k3b only if it had gtk port. don't want to install whole kde/qt bloat for one app only. [14:50] sarthorks: im not sure, sorry. was trying to get a log from pulseaudio, but command not found.. [14:50] maco: why would that be? if pulseaudio is installed, why should it say "not found"? [14:51] sarthorks: dunno. if its running its obviously ther. did you make a typo? [14:51] maco:nope === _scavenger_ is now known as scavenger [14:51] what signal does the close button send to the app? [14:51] Church, yes, but when your alternative to the extra bloat is software piracy, thats not really helpful at all in this channel as it doesnt support piracy.. [14:52] is there a way for me to install the denyhosts daemon without starting it up immediately? with sudo apt-get, it starts up denyhosts...does some other command install it without starting it up? [14:52] jpeg library not found. You need this one, please install. [14:52] Note: to compile stuff just the library packages are not enougth, [14:52] you need also the *-devel packages. [14:52] Hi i am new to this irc thing, sorry for this silly question, but how do you get those "sendersname:" without manually typing? [14:52] what should i install [14:53] ganymede: you cannot... but, why do you want that? Some problems? [14:53] what setting should be put after "find" (on the command line) .. find any file, anywhere ? .. ive been having some trougble searching for this on the web [14:53] hacotur: type a couple characters and then hit [14:53] dreamy_: / [14:53] grawity, yeah, installing denyhosts might lock me out of ssh before i get to edit the config file [14:53] dreamy_: (it's the root directory; everything is under it) [14:54] btw, do downloadable ubuntu iso images include updates aswell, or they are at same state/release as of first release? [14:54] ganymede: it won't kill existing connections [14:54] ganymede: denyhosts doesn't just lock out, it requires at least some failed attempts. [14:54] k.. ty grawity [14:54] trism: thanks it works. [14:54] @Church I believe it's somewhere in between. [14:54] ganymede: Also, denyhosts uses host.deny -- so just add "ALL: your-ip" to /etc/hosts.allow and it'll always let you in. === dreamy_ is now known as dreamy [14:54] grawity, i may already have failed attempts in the auth.log file from earlier. it would scan them [14:54] hi, how do I boot on a LUKS encrypted partition,more precisely in the initramfs /conf/conf.d/cryptroot is not there....but I informed crypttab about the partition and updated the iniramfs (update-initramfs -u ) === The_Toxic_Mite_ is now known as The_Toxic_Mite [14:55] ganymede: Still, add yourself to /etc/hosts.allow and it won't. [14:55] 你好 [14:55] llutz, then i'd be counting on the fact that my connections stay alive [14:55] grawity, thanks, i'll try that [14:55] 大家好 [14:55] is there an update-cryptboot or something like that? === hacotur is now known as hacover [14:56] * Church would highly advise to add yourself to /etc/hosts.allow for whitelisting, as others suggested. it was required for my case, as denyhosts wanted to lock out even if i logged in successfuly just at short time interval (main login+2 sshfs mounts) :/ [14:56] anyone know hte ! code thing to tell ktzkk where the mandarin/cantonese(?) room is :S [14:56] maco: pulseaudio -vvv -D gives command not found, but pulseaudio gives this output:http://paste.ubuntu.com/345371/ [14:56] !cn [14:56] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:57] streenz: Tell him yourself? :) [14:57] grawity, I would if I knew the language :P [14:57] denyhosts also has an own "allowed-hosts" file [14:58] sarthorks: that one just said its not startng becuse its already running [14:58] never mind...bad initramfs command [14:58] btw, is it just my case or others have experienced aswell, that firefox on 64bit ubuntu is very heavy on mem usage after few days usage .. as if some memory leak? [14:58] maco: so the flags are resulting in the "command not found"? === sivel is now known as sivel_man [14:59] sarthorks: i guess, though thats a bit weird. i dont know whats going on, sorry. [14:59] sarthorks: maybe try waiting around in #ubuntu-audio-help if you cant get help from anyone else here [14:59] i currently use a program called "getdataback" for windows when trying to do datarecovery. But a buddy of mine just gave me his "broken" macbook g4 and was wondering if i can save some of the data off of it. Is there a program in linux i can use for data recovery? [15:00] maco: ok thanks a lot anyway [15:00] MoeGreen: ddrescue [15:00] what is the fastest way to rename files in nautilus? seems a lot slower than windows [15:00] thx ill install that now [15:00] Church, how much is big? [15:00] I'm trying to encode a DVD with Handbrake but it seems frozen. I click on the close button but a dialog comes up with no text or buttons. I go to System Monitor and I can't find Handbrake anywhere. How to I close it? [15:01] What's an easy way to create a lot of CPU usage for testing purposes? [15:01] Oh, nevermind, I see it now. [15:01] Church: _all_ versions of Firefox I've ever used have seemed leaky to some extent :-) [15:01] JoeSomebody: slower ? right click choose rename input the new name. it is the same in both operatin systems === sivel_man is now known as sivel [15:01] eeg3, I like to run a few glxgears processes [15:01] eeg3, graphics rendering, video conversion, you can run BOINC [15:02] erUSUL, i should have said keyboard-wise, in windows its F2 [15:02] Was hoping for a lightweight command line tool, dont actually have Xorg installed [15:02] amelius: yeah, but for me - first time _as_ bad [15:02] Thank you for the suggestions, though [15:02] eeg3: a big compile (kernel or some such) with many threads ( make -j(2*Nofcpu +1) ) [15:03] erUSUL: Ooh, that sounds like it would work well [15:03] Gracias [15:03] eeg3, I like geekbench [15:03] amelius: half a day with 5 windows with ~ 8-10 tabs each, and 1-1.5gb already :/ .. not exactly comfortable on this laptop with just 1 gig :/ [15:04] Church, I run a minimum of 15 tabs for days, and it only ever reaches ~800MB max === four is now known as five [15:04] hi. does anybody have any experience with PCSX? i can't find an official support channel and browsing the forums has yet to yield productive results. PCSX is segfaulting when i try to load states in a game. what gives? [15:04] Church, and I have plenty of extensions running as well === five is now known as skpl [15:04] 800mb for a browser is still a -lot- [15:05] Church, I loaded a plugin that blocks the flash and I found that helps a bit, or I guess an ad blocker would do the same, just to stop you from using up memory with those annoying flash ads [15:05] Church: I've always stuck to the 32bit LTS releases, but I feel your pain... Firefox is just not something you can use intensively for days on end without restarting it [15:05] JoeSomebody: f2 works in my nautilus [15:05] Church: have you tried google chrome? === skpl is now known as barracuda [15:05] chromium even [15:06] hello everyone [15:06] erUSUL, i am going back to bed, i was sure i tried it LOL [15:06] and good morning [15:06] llutz: i installed the minimal-cd , do u know how to install basic gnome, without all the bloatware? [15:06] JoeSomebody: ;P [15:06] i have a (?) if anyone could answer it please [15:07] llutz: when i tasksel --> ubuntu desktop, im afraid there will be lot of unnecesary stuff [15:07] !ask | teage [15:07] teage: 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. :-) [15:07] teage: we won't know the answer before you ask the question [15:07] i am trying to copy and paste with text in xchat [15:07] meero: gnome-desktop, gnome-base, I don't remember exactly but there is such a way [15:07] but cant figure out how [15:07] Okay, so I'm trying to get a script to run when my USB mouse is plugged in to disable the touchpad and enable it when it's removed from the USB port. Nothing is working. Any suggestions? [15:07] meero: aptitude install gnome [15:07] teage, highlighting then CTRL-C and CTRL-V dont work? [15:07] I've tried udev, but none of my rules seem to actually do any good. [15:07] thank you streenz [15:08] aperson: only extensions here is flashblock, xmarks (though with very big pile of bookmarks), tab mix plus, autoproxy and toolbar thinger. with same set firefox on 32bit doze or 32bit linux were way better with mem usage .. 3-4times better :/ [15:08] !paste | teage [15:08] teage: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [15:08] Church, *shrug* I don't know what's up, I have way more extensions too [15:08] ubottu thank you [15:08] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [15:09] Anyone know of a good way to go about this? [15:09] streenz: blocking Flash content certainly does help, but what really tends to be resource-hungry are dissolves and the like done in JavaScript [15:09] but i was only wanting to copy and paste into google translator [15:09] teage highlight with mouse copies in xchat, ctrlv pastes [15:09] so as i could understand some of my brothers from over seas [15:09] JoeSomebody, you mean, highlight and middleclick [15:10] otherwise if notin xchat do what streenz says [15:10] i've heard that 64bit apps tend to be larger .. as in ~ 1.5 times .. but imho it's only about executable/libraries size, not the biggest slice of total usage after heavy browsing [15:10] just highlight copies in xchat [15:10] teage, most times when it is in the middle of the day (US times) this chat goes by VERY quickly so they appreciate it if you keep everything to a single line so it doesnt get lost [15:10] Does anyone know how to go about automatically disabling the touchpad when a USB mouse is plugged in and enabling it again when the USB mouse is removed? [15:10] JoeSomebody, eek! it does. I wish it wouldn't [15:11] the middle click works exelent [15:11] thank you thank you thank you [15:11] KittyKatt: dunno. some xset magic on udev plugin/plugout events? :/ [15:11] * scavenger thinks teage's welcome [15:11] KittyKatt: what have you tried ? [15:12] I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when I boot my monitor says "video mode not supported". How do I force Ubuntu to go into a particular mode on boot? [15:12] Church: I've tried udev ACTION="add" and ACTION="remove", but none of those seem to have any effect. [15:12] Would you like me to pastebin my 10-touchpad.rules files? [15:12] my network card RTL8185 chipset only ever shows 15% quality, any fixes?

[15:18] can any one please tell me how to make the changes made via xrandr permanent ? [15:18] maybe one can change button mapping in xorg.conf now aswell .. but back then when i started to use it btnx was best way to remap 'search' button as middle click [15:18] erUSUL: I never get to see the GRUB bootloader menu, it tries booting straight into a graphical mode... is there a place I can specify vga=791 in a conf file and then reboot instead? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [15:18] if you use dd to create a 2Gb file, is there any caching mechanism that affects the time it needs to create the file?

[15:19] manjula: i know that system/preferences/display xrandr frontend saves state in ~/.config/monitor.xml [15:19] my network card RTL8185 chipset only ever shows 15% quality even when right next to AP , any fixes? [15:19] iuhjujhhju: uhm, i know of no reason why dd would be different from anything else [15:20] anyone know if it is possible to force a rediscovery of externally attached usb devices on Karmic ? [15:20] Church: ok thanks maybe if i changes that file it might be permanent right ? [15:20] manjula: if you mean some config that's impossible to do with that applet, try writing shellscript with needed xrandr commands and put in on startup applications list in session preferences [15:20] Does anyone know how I can configure my Ubuntu 9.10 machine to boot with the "vga=791" option? [15:21] manjula: sorry. it's monitors.xml, not monitor.xml [15:21] Church: ok thanks i will see. thanks [15:21] I can't see facebook videos in full length. anybody help me? [15:21] mitchel: change kernel parameters in bootloader config [15:21] riktking: that may not be a software issue - did you experiment with different channels? [15:21] Church: what sort of filesystem location would I be looking at? [15:22] filesystem? o_O [15:22] sorry [15:22] what file? [15:22] specifically [15:22] as I've been looking fruitlessly [15:22] depending on bootloader you use [15:22] amelius, it is on every wifi point i have used [15:22] the default [15:22] mitchel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:22] is it lilo or is it grub or is it grub2?

[15:25] i just installed picasa for linux through my deb package installer, it is supposed to be in the graphics section of my menu but it is not, anybody know why? [15:25] hi [15:25] Church: do u knw the startup script for GDM ? [15:25] Church: /etc/gdm/which file ? [15:25] riktking: I see; is that a plug-in card, or an internal one? [15:25] manjula: why not set at login session? [15:25] amelius, its a pcmcia card [15:26] manjula: system/preferences/startup applications [15:26] Church: then my login screen will be not affected [15:27] can i change the default TTL value of my machine? [15:27] hi [15:27] oh. hmm. then maybe put script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d? [15:28] Church: my problem is i have a Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 onboard graphihc card. once i installed the new ubuntu (9.10) i was not able to go above the 800*600 resolution. i try to get help here and none work. now i made 1024*768 resolution tru xrandr and it works so i just want to make that resolution permanent [15:28] does ubuntu support zfs? [15:28] 9.10 karmic [15:29] hey people, how can I see on the commandline what type of cd/dvdrw I have in my machine? [15:29] manjula: hmm. maybe that new kernel mode setting plays some tricks :/ [15:29] riktking: and is the actual link quality, in terms of user experience, decent? clould simply be that the highest possible quality value the card will ever indicate is lower than the driver thinks, if you see what I mean [15:29] Church: u have a idea how to fix it any other way ? [15:29] lspci doesn't list (S)ATA attached devices, only the controllers [15:30] amelius, its fine, stays connected all day, would just be nice to see the actual rating [15:30] amelius, if there is no solution its fine, the light on it just flashes on and off, no relation to the data transfered aswell, was just a thought if some one knew a solution! [15:32] what program can I use to make a system backup to a live-cd? i want to install into a virtualbox and use it for a test system before making significant changes to my prod system. [15:33] i am using ubuntu 9.10 . does anyone knows a good php editor ? [15:33] erUSUL: I'm back ;) it showed the little Ubuntu logo during loading but then as soon as it gets into X, bam back into "video mode not supported". [15:33] ionut: vim! [15:33] ionut: vim, emacs (you choose) [15:33] mitchel: vga= doesn't affect X at all [15:33] riktking: these things by definition can be fixed, of course, if not through some setting or other, then by patching the driver, but if it actually works just fine, the most pragmatic solution is of course simply not to worry about it too much ;) [15:33] ionut, or geany [15:33] I like eclipse [15:33] It scales very well. [15:33] ow,thx all [15:33] ionut: I second geany [15:34] good [15:34] mitchel: to change x-resolution, change/create your xorg.conf [15:34] llutz: yeah, I couldn't see/find an xorg.conf, otherwise that's where I would've started. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't seem to do *anything* either =/ [15:35] mitchel: btw, which ubuntu version? [15:35] mitchel: "sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf" "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and make your settings (syntax: man xorg.conf) [15:35] Church: 9.10 [15:35] llutz: is there a way to create a default one to work from? [15:36] hmm. mitchel: try in /etc/default/grub add 'nomodeset' option. does gdm then starts at wrong resolution too after restart? [15:36] mitchel: what graphics chipset? [15:36] how can i show a list of all running services, apache/mysql etc [15:36] Church: I'll try that but I'm using irssi so I'll be back in a minute :) [15:36] fission6: ps -ef [15:36] ps aux [15:36] i want all processes with open listners [15:36] apache, mysql, other services [15:36] fission6: sudo netstat -lptn [15:36] llutz: 9200 SE (RV280 apparently) [15:37] fission6: -lpun for UDP [15:37] mitchel: isn't simpliest to add xrandr settings to somewhere .. eg. - /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings ? [15:37] Church: vga-bootparameter is for console-settings, it won't effect X at all [15:37] Church: do I add that "nomodeset" command after the previous "vga=791" one I've already added then? [15:37] vga bootparameter is for fb console. [15:37] Church: perhaps, but that's why I'm on here asking ;) [15:37] fission6: But ignore those with 127.0.0.1 as 'local' address, those are used for pr [15:37] fission6: er, for process communication. [15:37] mitchel: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh server-xorg should do [15:37] ok [15:37] how can I stop apt to download package description translations? [15:38] Church: that makes sense, I'm in a higher resolution in irssi here and the little Ubuntu loading graphic displayed, but as soon as it was into X it was back to fubar. [15:38] also when i sudo i put in a password which works fine as expected, but when i su root and enter password its not right [15:38] how is that so [15:38] llutz: what does the -phigh bit change? because before I tried that and nothing seemed to happen whatsoever [15:38] I had install ubuntu 9.10 and then screen resolution is on 640x480 and i can't change it [15:38] nomodeset disables display detect / mode set by kernel at boot. as kernel mode set is rather new it often goes wrong. that's why one of things to try is to disable it and see if it helps X autodetect displays better [15:39] mitchel: sets high priority [15:39] Church: okay so I could just remove vga=971 and replace it with nomodeset? [15:40] mitchel: and reboot. see if it helps. if not, remove that nomodeset .. and just put custom xrandr commands that you know are doing what you want in mentioned script in Xsession.d [15:40] Church: but I'll have to create that 45... file myself? as I can't find it [15:41] yup. file/scripts in that dir gets executed on Xorg startup. including inital one with gdm session manager [15:41] s/session/login/ [15:41] cool, I'll be back on here if this nomodeset doesn't work :) thanks [15:44] hi, can i shift from the installed hard disk to another HD ? [15:44] *shift UBUNTU that is [15:44] Church: no luck, what do I put in the 45... file, I think a resolution of 1024x768 @60Hz would work... is there a good way to check? [15:45] mitchel: btw, were you able to set needed resolution using system/preferences/display applet? [15:45] Church: no, as I've yet to see a GUI whatsoever! ;( [15:45] oh. i forgot that you wanted to set in gdm aswell [15:46] well. are you able to start X session at all? even at lover resolution? === billy is now known as Bilz [15:46] if yes, do you already know what xrandr commands you need to run to get mode you need? [15:47] if that yes aswell, put those commands in that script in mentioned dir :) [15:47] weird... this asp page is no longer auto updating (as it should). First thought it was linux version of Firefox, but just noticed it doesn' work from Windows box either (IE or Firefox). Could it be router setting? [15:47] Church: I don't know, how would I start an X session in a lower resolution of my choosing? [15:47] hello, what if you change the password of your user, how do you reset it? i booted in single user mode but it asked me to type the root password or press ctrl+d to continue with the boot process. do i have to reinstall? [15:47] HELP NEEDED [15:47] Church: I wouldn't know what sort of commands they'd be [15:47] mitchel: from what i'm guessing now you have simply console / no X11 at all? [15:47] Aciid: hello there can u help me [15:47] Lord_mezry: Shouting not needed. Ask your question. [15:47] hi all, my internet has been very flaky....done the ISP phone help routine...and no help there. So I am starting at the beginning. Anyone here know much about the telephone wiring?

[16:33] jvasile putple doesnt exist. i am able to see through the pidgin, but I want to know actual location [16:34] Maletor, Just google Dual Boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu and you will get a full tutorial [16:34] k [16:34] install grub [16:35] dejai: modinfo does not return anything [16:35] jacobi: you have a intel graphics card and it is loading the intel driver [16:35] jacobi, So what graphics card are you running? === dayo_ is now known as dayo [16:35] hacover, pidgin logs should be in ~/.purple/logs I'm guessing there will be a subfolder called irc (i've never used pidgin for IRC so the last part is a guess) [16:35] jacobi, Paste lspci | grep VGA === deuterium_ is now known as deuterium [16:36] hacover, if ~/.purple/logs doesn't exist, perhaps you don't have logging enabled. [16:36] jacobi, Random freezes could be due to a corrupted install. [16:36] ZykoticK9: no irc folder too,, but thanks will check out [16:37] jacobi, If it's a fresh install and you just burned the disk what write speed were you running it on?? [16:37] jacobi, I have had similar issues when I run it above x2 speed. [16:37] jvasile: no i have loggin enabled, i can see through pidgin [16:37] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [16:37] hello ,does anyone know how to use the gnome do [16:37] jacobi, At the very least might be worth validating the CD contents which you can do from the first screen in the boot menu [16:37] hacover, then I don't know. Try grepping for a unique string in your log [16:38] dejai: it's a 9.04 machine that was running fine until I did the 9.10 upgrade via upgrade manager two nights ago [16:38] jvasile: ok will try that [16:38] jacobi, Ubuntu upgrades... [16:38] hacover, grep for my name. I'm betting that won't appear anywhere but your pidgin logs [16:38] dejai: mistake? [16:38] jacobi, Not on your part. But I have had some issues in the past with upgrading. [16:39] dejai: so what can I do? Just hope a future upgrade fixes it? === kb is now known as Guest23597 [16:39] jacobi, Hmm. [16:40] I feel like a total noob for asking, but where is the "Installation Directory" on ubuntu 9.10 located? [16:40] jacobi, So you run a while and it randomly freezes? === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [16:41] Sabre-night: installation directory for what? [16:41] phrac, a game called "Second Life" it says it runs right from the installation directory :\ [16:41] jacobi, Just some bug triaging can you still move the mouse when it freezes? [16:41] phrac, for linux [16:41] I have a bluetooth headset I paired via the gnome bluetooth applet. How do I disconnect? And how do I reconnect? Thanks. [16:42] dejai: Yep thought it was just the browsers, but then I went to change screensavers and selecting the drempels screensaver preview locked it. Is there a Ctrl-ALt-Delete combo I can use to get control back somehow? [16:42] Sabre-night: wherever you unpacked it to [16:42] jacobi, I just found a post which gives your exact card [16:42] jacobi, A bug has been filed on launchpad [16:42] phrac, okay. [16:43] jacobi, Do you have effects enabled? [16:43] Oh well that was rude :( [16:45] jacobi, Do you have desktop effects enabled? [16:45] dejai: just locked again. Was flipping through screensaver previews. Which leads me to think the graphics card drivers are guilty.. [16:45] jacobi, I can confirm it is the graphics card [16:45] jacobi, As I was saying a bug has been reported. [16:45] dejai: Nope. trying to enable them triggers hardware driver search which fails [16:46] jacobi, I mean the compiz settings [16:46] Im havin trouble getting karmic liveusb to boot past the white circle logo on my new dell studio 1747 (i7, 4gig mem, 1gig ati radeon 4650).. i can boot using safe gfx mode but thats not much good if its not detecting the video/resolution properly..

[16:48] i am using evolution and find the standard error messages depicted at the bottom of the frame kind of useless, the messages under "Help > Debug logs" seldomly are more helpful.

Why? [17:31] i need 3.12gb usb :) [17:31] obiwan_, upgrades don't get the new grub [17:31] obiwan_: consider yourself lucky that you don't have to deal with grub2 [17:31] <|Slacker|> that?s winblows for ya [17:31] grub 2 isn't bad [17:31] whi blakkheim ? all my friends say it's nice, and they had no problem at all :P [17:31] ok ZykoticK9 [17:32] automatically set up all my partitions ok [17:32] is there any other package not installed when upgrading? === god_ is now known as effex [17:32] obiwan_, ext4 is the only other thing i can think of [17:33] many others 'not present' in karmic got uninstalled, and upgraded ones got upgraded, i thought that was the case for all of them [17:33] blakkheim: i disagree.. grub2 is very apt to the job.. and it will support trendy themes even ... besides most issues with it can be repaired by doing a update-grub in terminal [17:33] i'm going to download virtualbox and see what happens [17:33] but ext4 works in karmic ZykoticK9 right? i got my disks formated in ext4 [17:33] obiwan_, yes it works [17:33] so what do you mean with 'only ext4 is the...' ? [17:34] got a new laptop last night and installed ubuntu on it, very nice!! [17:34] its [17:34] err, its been forever since i had a linux desktop [17:34] obiwan_, when you fresh install Karmic your / will be ext4 but if you upgrade it won't [17:34] Hello [17:34] all my servers run gentoo, and have for years, but this is the first dedicated linux desktop machine i've had in like 3 years [17:34] however you can install grub at any time as well [17:34] hmm ok i get it, cause in jaunty default is ext3 hehe i made sure i had ext4 hehe thanks ;) [17:34] grbu2 [17:34] congrats to the ubuntu developers, very nice job [17:35] fujimitsu as simple as sudo apt-get install grub2? [17:35] karleeto: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [17:35] i yet have grub 0.97, should i uninstall it first or sth? [17:35] !grub2 > obiwan_ [17:35] obiwan_, please see my private message [17:35] I have an intel graphics chip problem and I set my screensaver to feedback which locks the system.

Thanks. [17:37] !ot | eliot_ [17:37] eliot_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:38] tolpico, conky or gkrellm have real time network monitors (there are probably many more) [17:38] ZykoticK9, never hard about them, i will try them now, thanks [17:39] obiwan_: that's ok [17:39] Anyone know why Empathy wont work on MSN? I cant send or recieve messages. It connects fine, I see people [17:39] obiwan_: the old Grub is fine for now [17:39] people's status, but cant communicate [17:39] what is the default port of Sshd? [17:39] ldiamond try pidgin [17:39] heoa: 22 [17:39] heoa: 22 [17:39] obiwan_: Grub 2 is a bit uh at the moment etc. may as well stay with the old Grub for now :) [17:39] What do I need to install on Januty to get dvd playback to work? [17:40] haha i like to try , anyway i don't have antyhing really important here sebsebseb :) [17:40] thats the spirit [17:40] thanks :) [17:40] obiwan_: you won't get any proper advantage [17:40] obiwan_: in fact you probably won't really get an advantage at all [17:40] thx u2 fuji :) [17:40] guntbert: nope, i'm pretty good with linux.. just came to chat, maybe help someone else, etc [17:40] obiwan_: newer is not always better. Also as far as I know Grub 2 isn't even on a proper final version yet. [17:41] my system stops while trying to boot ubuntu from image ubnkern.............. ubninit..............Ready and there's a flashing curser under the very first letter in the ubnkern line [17:41] JuJuBee_, www.medibuntu.org has libdvdcss2 which allows commercial dvd playback [17:41] sebsebseb: stop feeding horror stories to the guy [17:41] karleeto: this channel is strictly for ubuntu support - general chat usually happens #ubuntu-offtopic [17:41] where are the screensaver settings stored? [17:41] hi [17:42] !hi | narendra [17:42] narendra: 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! [17:42] ZykoticK9: thanks, just found that in a forum post. [17:42] obiwan_: and if Grub mess's up and you can't boot up your OS anymore, well that's not much fun, but if you want to put it on anyway, ok sure go a head [17:42] eliot_: does pidgin support video chats? [17:42] jacobi, they should be somewhere in "gconf-editor" [17:42] ldiamond no not yet or u can try amsn but im not sure how that works [17:43] GRUB2 is good enough that it's in Debian testing. Things generally don't make it there if they're garbage. [17:43] can someone help with installing gom player on wine [17:43] gdb: that's not true [17:43] gdb: that's not quite true [17:43] gdb: experimental then testing, then stable [17:43] hi, i am using BenQ netbook and my wifi and Audio is not working :( http://pastie.org/754644 [17:43] but karleeto we appreciate every helping hand :-) welcome [17:43] unstable -> testing -> stable [17:43] experimental is unrelated to the others (ie; no direct feeds between them) [17:43] ldiamond, pidgin (especially the ppa version) is suppose to support video for various protocols (i've never gotten it working mind you). Good luck. if you're using MSN then aMSN is probably your best bet for video [17:43] Hello [17:44] I don't remember the nick of who helped me, but i wanted to say thank you. My issue has been resolved [17:44] i need help. I have just installed Karmic, but usb devices are not found [17:44] At anyrate, things do not *generally* make it to testing unless it's "good enough for gov't work" [17:44] gdb: right well it's not Debian Stable quality yet, so that's something to maybe think a little bit about [17:44] I now have a shared folder with the host OS [17:44] ZykoticK9: well, vlc still won't play the dvd even after libdvdcss2 installed [17:44] Will I have to remount the shared folder everytime I start the VM? [17:44] JuJuBee_, try loggin out and back in [17:45] So I am starting the upgrade from 9.04 and 9.10, and it says a bunch of things are no longer supported and will be suggested for removal at the end of the upgrade... most concerning of which is g++ for me. Is it a good idea to remove the suggested items at the end of the upgrade? [17:45] K, thanks will give it a go. [17:45] hehe sebsebseb i don't care if i loose it, i just installed and if doesn't work, i'll simply reinstall grub hehe i've just installed grub2 gonna reboot and try brb!!! [17:45] what could i use besides k3b for burnign audio cds [17:45] obiwan_: ok [17:45] JuJuBee_> I would suggest using MPlayer, it has always seemed much easier to me, then using any other DVD Player [17:45] brb guys *trying grub2 reboot menu* [17:45] You understand that Ubuntu is based on debian *unstable* yes? (It's not until the next LTS that it's rebasing on testing). I mean, I totally get you want to let the guy know some caveats, but GRUB2 isn't the "omg data suicide!" that you're implying. [17:45] hi im having trouble installing gom player on wine [17:46] Jinxed-: you might get quite a few issues after upgrading from 9.04. Also 9.04 is still a rather good release, in fact for quite a lot of people it's better than 9.10. It's also got just under a year of support left. [17:46] anybody for my help, please help me to get my audio work, I have tried a lot [17:46] I'm not sure what the fuss is about anyway. It's a boot loader. IT doesn't need to be exciting. I see it once every couple of months. [17:46] ldaimond it looks like u can use video in amsn [17:46] Why data transfering in ubuntu 9.10 is slower than windows, please see screenshot for MMC data transfering http://i46.tinypic.com/j61lbp.jpg, any solution? [17:46] grawity: how do you connect to the daemon? just: ssh user@ip:22 ? [17:46] sebsebseb: I take it your suggesting I just skip the update? [17:46] lspci say - "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio " [17:46] sebsebseb: hardy isnt even debian stable yet :P [17:46] heoa: ssh user@host [17:46] heoa: No need to specify the port. [17:46] is there a way to list the packages i upgradedin previous month. because i cannot load any website or do an update but yet ping and tracepath is fine. so it has to be a config file messed up somewhere. am i thinking correctly? [17:46] maco: well yeah, I guess that's true :D [17:47] i have personally seen windows bootloader fail more and in many more spectacular ways that any version of unlo, lilo, and grub combined [17:47] i need help w/ java program. Where should i go? [17:47] lsusb dont find any usb device on karmic koala [17:47] try #java eric_3 [17:47] thankyou [17:47] ZykoticK9: no joy... vlc says : http://paste.ubuntu.com/345450/ [17:47] gdb , sebsebseb always talks like a ghoul of sorts, you'll get used to it [17:47] sebsebseb: really, grub2 is fine. its not gonna lose you data. its just a bit harder to configure *at the moment* simply because we havent gotten as much practice with it as we have wtih grub1 [17:47] does anyone know a good channel for networking issues? [17:48] Elive_user58_en: ##networking [17:48] Jinxed-: not nessariley, but newer is not always better, depends on the user and hardware and that. A newer boot up for 9.10, software centre instead of add/remove, Ubuntu One, and under the hood changes. Ext4 by default for clean install's not Ext3 9.04 upgrades. and no Grub 2 on upgrade from 9.04. [17:48] JuJuBee_, test one - try another DVD --- test two "mplayer dvd://1" [17:48] what could i use besides k3b for burnign audio cds? a quick answer would be great ineed to burn some xmass cds for my little sister before i leave in ahlf hour [17:48] f`rets on fire is awesome! [17:48] hi all! [17:48] r00t_: cdrecord [17:48] I am putting my family computer on ubuntu and keeping xp on the second disk. I am trying to put in a custom menu entry http://paste.ubuntu.com/345449/ however when i sudo update-grub i get the error shown below in the link [17:48] *fret [17:48] !hi | txoe [17:48] txoe: 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! [17:48] thanks lulz [17:49] why do i get 'error creating filesystem: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f -L "Windows" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkntfs" (no such file or directory)' [17:49] Jinxed-: ah yes and newer version of GDM, which can't just be themed like the old one. [17:49] how can I find the loco team for spain? [17:49] hmm well sebsebseb my computer seems to boot very quickly right now, and in general it has been very stable. The only problem I have had is that video playback, flash, etc runs choppy. [17:49] ZykoticK9, I installed conky through synaptic. Conky is not present in Applications menu anywhere. How can I run the app? [17:49] hey, how to change bootscreen? [17:49] call conky from the shell [17:49] tolpico, try running it from a terminal -- FYI i don't use conky [17:50] Jinxed-: your Flash issue might get solved by an ugprade to 9.10, but it's not that likely [17:50] llutz: i was looking for a GUI app [17:50] ubuntujenkins: Historically, Windows really does not like being on any disk other than the first one. Can you possibly reconsider where you're locating each OS? Linux can live quite happily on the second disk. [17:50] My login screen got all messed up and I have no idea how. [17:50] sebsebseb: I was hoping I just would be able to watch youtube, hulu, etc without it being choppy [17:50] Are there any areas that Ubuntu could use some help with development? [17:50] Jinxed-: try another browser for Flash :) [17:50] tolpico: you can add a menu item for it. right click and edit menus [17:50] sebsebseb: is there a safe way i could install video card support [17:50] ZykoticK9: I have no other dvd at the moment, but mplayer option is working. [17:50] how can i see in rhythmbox, whether a radio stream is an ogg? === reactor is now known as pawnedpawn [17:50] How come when I run "sudo init 3" I'm not returned to a command line? [17:50] gdb I will see if I can add ubuntu to the xp loading menu [17:50] sebsebseb: don't use the flash as much as the video [17:50] !runlevels | LucidPerry [17:50] LucidPerry: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [17:50] maco: yeah regarding Grub 2 that sounds right [17:51] JuJuBee_, then it's a VLC issue -- i don't use VLC often so i have no solution for that... good luck [17:51] underdog7: That is entirely possible. There should be instructions online for editing the BOOT.INI file in Windows. === pawnedpawn is now known as pwn_shop [17:51] i have a fairly good computer so it should more than be able to handle the video. [17:51] Guys ACPI=off disables USB? [17:51] Jinxed-: which video card? [17:51] ZykoticK9: thanks === pwn_shop is now known as reactor [17:51] Help? [17:51] hello everybody... I'm trying to build my first python scripts and I want to know if there is a fast way to take the string "name_etc_etc2.dat" and cut everything after the first _ so finally I can get "name", thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance...I can't find anything in google [17:51] erUSUL: I'm not sure I understand. [17:51] I am not finding a gconf key to indicate which screensaver I am running. I would like to make sure no screen saver runs, what do I change. Preview in the system configuration locks up. [17:51] ubuntujenkins: You'll need to install a Linux boot loader (lilo, grub) on the Linux boot partition. This will be loaded by the Windows loader when you select Linux. [17:51] erUSUL: "All equal" what does that imply (I'm new to Linux, trying to teach myself about it :P) [17:51] why do i get 'error creating filesystem: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f -L "Windows" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkntfs" (no such file or directory)' [17:52] LucidPerry: in runlevel 3 ubuntu launchs gdm just like in runlevel 2 and 4 and 5 [17:52] LucidPerry: muli-user level of 3 is same as 2 is same as 4 is same as 5. [17:52] when trying to make an ntfs filesystem from disk utility [17:52] thanks gdb [17:52] my system stops while trying to boot ubuntu from image ubnkern.............. ubninit..............Ready and there's a flashing curser under the very first letter in the ubnkern line [17:52] Slapfish: somestring.find("_") to find the first _ === arvind_ is now known as dnivra [17:52] help? === BjornR1989 is now known as BjornR^AFK [17:52] Somebody? Help? Login screen messed up? [17:52] erUSUL: genii: Aha. [17:52] i need help w/ java program [17:52] Slapfish: And somestring[:somestring.find("_")] to get everything from the beginning to that _ [17:52] anyone here work w/ java [17:52] ? [17:52] Jinxed-: each version of Ubuntu gets a differnet version of xorg, so if you upgrade to 9.10, you might end up with issues with your graphics card, depending on which one you have [17:52] LucidPerry: other distribution (red hat fedora) only have gdm (hraphics) in runlevel 3 or five and other runlevels are command line [17:52] Slapfish: And ##python for more help [17:52] LucidPerry: i assume youve got a book based on red hat or something? [17:53] erUSUL: er not quite [17:53] Hi there. My mouse does not work at all. I recently reinstalled ubuntu onto my home desktop computer. I put on Ubuntu 9.10. The computer is dual-boot and runs XP, mouse and all. Does anyone have any ideas. Computing sans mouse sucks [17:53] maco: I have a Fedora installation, and have had some time with OpenSUSE :P [17:53] * _RyanB_ says hello :) [17:53] erUSUL: in 3, they have no display manger but do have networking. in 5 they have a display manager [17:53] erUSUL: Right. That makes sense. [17:53] erUSUL: i think 2 is multiuser, no networ [17:53] *network [17:53] and 4 is undefined on most systems... [17:53] Okay, seriously, somebody? My login screen is messed up and it's annoying as hell. [17:53] Please help? [17:53] sebsebseb: Should i enable restricted graphics... last time i did that if memory serves i had to reinstall ubuntu, however mycard should have support [17:53] hang on i made a chart of this [17:53] LucidPerry: If you want to drop to single user, use: sudo telinit 1 [17:53] !details | eric_3 [17:53] eric_3: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:54] Jinxed-: Do you know which card you actsaully have? [17:54] LucidPerry: sudo telinit 2 to re-enter regular init mode [17:54] i recently installed windows7 .. how do I restore grub2? [17:54] double x = Math.sqrt(index); it says not compatible [17:54] freaky[t]_, you may be able to restore grub from a live cd [17:54] genii: Okay. I'll look into the telinit command. Thank you. [17:54] Somebody help? [17:54] eric_3: you should ask that in #java, not in a ubuntu support channel [17:54] zleap ho [17:54] My login screen is screwed up. How do I fix it? [17:54] zleap how? [17:54] i cant find that channel [17:54] maco: sorry for not remebering exactly what the runlevels on a distribution i do not use are for; i should think twice before i make and educated guess in front of you [17:54] exit [17:55] i tried [17:55] !grub2 [17:55] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:55] oops [17:55] what happened thatguy? [17:55] erUSUL, LucidPerry: http://people.ubuntu.com/~maco.m/runlevels.png [17:55] try that [17:55] eric_3: well, the name was just a guess, but there has to be a java related channel somewhere [17:55] Don't know. All of a sudden my login screen is all screwed up. It looks like something out of Windows 95. It works, but it's ugly as hell. [17:55] erUSUL: well LucidPerry had mentioned that on 3 he expected not to have gdm, so i think that wouldve been a hint to help the guessing ;) [17:55] ZykoticK9, about conky, its not present in edit menus. I tried running "conky" in terminal, it prints three lines, the last one being "Conky: drawing to single buffer". The process still running. Thanks, still finding other ways. [17:55] This happened after I was messing around with themes... but I don't understand how that would affect the login screen. [17:56] desktop mamager? [17:56] ThatGuyOverThere: your on 9.10? [17:56] Gnome. [17:56] i know there is ##java but it is password locked [17:56] eric_3: try ##java [17:56] sebsebseb: Yes. [17:56] tolpico, sorry man i don't use conky so i have no idea [17:56] what is the default value for no screensaver in the gconf.xml for gnome-screensaver? [17:56] password locked [17:56] eric_3: ##java is not locked here. [17:56] ThatGuyOverThere: ugly as hell, ok provide more details, what do you mean exactly? [17:56] tolpico: just run it from alt+f2. type "conky" [17:56] The user switch window thing is gray and boxy. [17:56] tolpico: you might want to dig up a .conkyrc from the forums or something though [17:57] !register | eric_3 [17:57] eric_3: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [17:57] k but i am having trouble with getting on to channel [17:57] Like I said, everything looks like it belongs in Windows 95. [17:57] I will ask again: My mouse does not work at all. I recently reinstalled ubuntu onto my home desktop computer. I put on Ubuntu 9.10. The computer is dual-boot and runs XP, mouse and all. Does anyone have any ideas. Computing sans mouse sucks [17:57] ThatGuyOverThere: are you seeing brown on the log in screen? [17:57] geawity: thanks...I'll try it right now [17:57] It doesn't have the same color or window appearance as it used to. [17:57] You mean the background image? [17:57] Yes. [17:57] eric_3: Many freenode channels do not allow unregistered users [17:57] ZykoticK9, oh hey! it runs, alt f2 conky, thank you very much!! weird what hapenned when terminal. anyway thanks once again [17:57] how do i register my name? [17:57] ignomy: is that a USB mouse you're referring to? did it work with Ubuntu before you reinstalled? which release were you using previously? [17:57] ThatGuyOverThere: ok I think your getting the normal one? your getting it after an upgrade, a clean install? [17:57] This is a dumb and likely off topic question, but I have no idea where else to ask. What is the convention for naming a channel ##java rather than just #java? Or any other channel that sticks a spurious pound in there? [17:57] !register | eric_3 [17:57] eric_3: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [17:57] ignomy: did you format the drive in which ubuntu is installed? [17:57] But everything in the foreground... the user switch window and the menus on the bottom and everything are messed up. [17:58] gdb: ask in #freenode [17:58] ThatGuyOverThere: messed up how? [17:58] LjL: Ah, so there is a reason. Thanks! [17:58] I wanted to try out 9.10 so I booted from live cd and when it loads, my mouse keeps jumping back to the upper left corner of the screen when I try to move it. I tried finding anything in the forums, but no luck. [17:58] Like I said... gray and boxy. [17:58] !register > eric_3 [17:58] eric_3, please see my private message [17:58] gdb: Part of Freenode's channel naming convention. "Unofficial" channels (those not belonging to a registered project) go into the secondary namespace (with ##) [17:58] And it's a clean install, not an upgrade. [17:58] When I boot the live cd with virtualbox, it works fine. [17:58] ThatGuyOverThere: ok [17:58] That makes perfect sense, thank you. :-) [17:59] JuJuBee_: Is this a PS2 mouse? [17:59] JuJuBee_: Or a trackpad? [17:59] gdb: http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming [17:59] gdb it is both.. Im on laptop with trackpad and a connected usb mouse [17:59] 1) It is not a USB mouse. I am not sure what type of mouse it's called, but is has a circular sort of connector. I had been running single-boot ubuntu J, I believe, a while ago and my mouse worked, but I don't think it was the same mouse. 2) I don't believe that I did. Should I, if so, how do I go about doing that? [17:59] So is there anything I can do to fix it? [17:59] ThatGuyOverThere: the bad news is you can't just theme it like the old one. There is some program that can maybe do it though etc. There is a way to install the old screen, but then you got configure some how. Plus it's old so I am not so sure about that. There's kdm for example in the repo as an alternative to GDM, which KDE/Kubuntu uses. Plus there's Slim which they say is a nice one, but that's not in the repo. [18:00] ldiamond use aMsn it supports video and voice === Kevin1 is now known as Fastn [18:00] I am NOT putting anything related to KDM on my computer. [18:00] ignomy: I did the same thing - reinstall ubuntu and I didn't format the drive during installation. I just overwrote the existing files. and my mouse didn't work at all: touchpad, usb whatever. === Fastn is now known as KevinSj === KevinSj is now known as kevinSJ [18:01] ignomy: did you format the drive when you installed ubuntu again? [18:01] ThatGuyOverThere: if you don't want to change the screen, your stuck with it for now basicalley. [18:01] I figure I should be able to just undo whatever messed it up before! I didn't install any login screen software that messed it up the way it is now. [18:01] ThatGuyOverThere: was it alwasy like that, after your clean install? [18:01] No. [18:01] It just started doing it today. [18:02] ThatGuyOverThere: is your computer showing the rigt colours otherwise? [18:02] ThatGuyOverThere: or are your colours just generally screwed? [18:02] ThatGuyOverThere: oh ok uhmmm I guess some where in /home in a hidden folder is the config files, but I don't know where in that case [18:02] I did not format ubuntu when I installed ubuntu. I wanted to keep some of the files from my home directory, so I did not. I need to format the hard drive and reinstall ubuntu to fix my mouse probelm? [18:02] Once I log in, everything looks just the way it's supposed to. [18:02] Only the login screen is messed up. [18:02] ignomy: check my PM [18:02] Hey How do I find out what graphics chip I have so I can get the driver for it? [18:02] gdb: any thoughts? [18:03] the circular connector type mouse, and most trackpads, are PS2. I've seldom had much luck with those. I would suggest in this case that the USB mouse and the PS2 mouse are interfering with each other. Have you tried booting without the USB mosue connected? [18:03] Ubuntu_User: lspci [18:03] (they use different drivers) [18:03] ?? [18:03] What does that mean? [18:03] gdb: yes, I removed the usb mouse and booted laptop using only trackpad. Same problem. [18:03] Ubuntu_User: open terminal and type lspci [18:03] How do I check my PM without using my mouse? I am using xchat [18:04] qoute MODE %c +b [18:04] Oh ok [18:04] ignomy: alright no problem [18:04] JuJuBee_: Hrm, as an experiment, are you able to disable the trackpad in the machine's BIOS and boot with the USB mouse connected? I would guess there is something wrong with how the OS is detecting your trackpad. === colegio is now known as Andress35 [18:04] JuJuBee_: I'm not sure that's something that can be corrected at the boot prompt. [18:04] dnivra: what was in your PM? I can't get to it. [18:05] Ubuntu_User, a much shorter/easier would be to run "lspci | grep VGA" in terminal [18:05] ignomy: didn't send any since you can't see. [18:05] ignomy: thing is I think there's some configuration file in your home directory concerning the mouse. and it's causing the problem [18:05] ignomy: i'm not sure though ok [18:05] gdb: dunno, I guess I can try that later. I am in the middle of something at the moment and don't want to restart now. I can't imagine what they could have changed since 9.04 [18:06] do you know what it's called, what to change, or anything of that sort? [18:06] ignomy: but the description you gave - reinstalling without formatting during installation to keep the files [18:06] ignomy: switches [18:07] ignomy: i don't know exactly what to change: i re-installed once more after backing up my home directory since the binaries where all gone [18:07] HOw do I make that hugs line? in the middle?

[18:33] tolpico, sorry use http://paste.ubuntu.com/345474/ instead xorg.conf.backup can cause problems [18:34] rahilm: use live-cd, move contents of /usr to new partition, change fstab, done [18:34] llutz: that is for or ?

[18:34] tarzeau: sabayon should work for both gnome and kde i think. it just makes a default set of dot-files [18:34] Jamed, is /boot really necessary? i used to make /boot partitions but it seems like just more complications [18:35] alabd: sorry, didn't realize you wanted one or the other === levu1 is now known as levu [18:35] maco: oh! now that's a nice idea! i'll test that, thanks [18:35] hey guys, i installed kubuntu on my system, and I accidently put the / folder of my ubuntu partition in the home folder of my kubuntu, so if I just replace the / folder of the kubuntu with all the folders of ubuntu, will i get my ubuntu back?

[18:37] Hilikus, Sorry; please define 'update' in your context. [18:37] bryce__, I will try that. [18:37] Jamed: indeed, while /boot is not really necessary, there's a lot of cases in which it's nice to keep it separate. For multi-booting Linuxes, it's a great way to share a single boot loader. [18:37] yep [18:37] thanks gdb [18:37] alabd: man grep (man egrep) helps [18:37] Jarxes: aptitude purge name-of-suite [18:37] xiong: update the DB of available packages [18:37] Jarxes: Yeah, sorry I can't help more than just say "use another tool" -- I hate answers like that.

[18:38] ZykoticK9, i tried both, but it says the file doesnt exist, http://pastebin.com/m9131a8a [18:38] I got in the habit of separate /boot a long time ago for the wrong reason (following outdated advice about LILO), but now I do it by choice, and yes, it easily shares, even among different distros. [18:39] gdb: I'll be back shortly if it won't work :) [18:39] Jarxes: good luck ;-) [18:39] rob0: wow thanks, i wasn't aware of that [18:39] hey guys, i installed kubuntu on my system, and I accidently put the / folder of my ubuntu partition in the home folder of my kubuntu, so if I just replace the / folder of the kubuntu with all the folders of ubuntu, will i get my ubuntu back?

But this points up a small issue: 9.10 is a development release, yes? But then, so was 9.04, I suppose? If I feel I really need asbestos underwear, I should stick with LTR, which is back in 8, etc.--? [18:40] tolpico, you need to use "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [18:41] rahilm_: If it's registered you can kick it off with /quote nickserv ghost rahilm === Exaltia_ is now known as exaltia === exaltia is now known as Exaltia [18:41] Jamed, if using LILO, simply keeep lilo.conf in /boot and make symlinks in each /etc . The same idea should apply to GRUB as well, but I'm not familiar enough with specifics. === rahilm_ is now known as rahilm [18:41] tolpico, also skip the "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old" if you don't have an xorg.conf right now [18:41] ZykoticK9, oh thats what Flare183 was saying?, ok will try that now [18:41] well, if you really, REALLy need a stable system and don't want your computer to have a couple bugs, then sure, go back to 8.04(or maybe its 8.10) but I would say ur safe to go to 9.10 [18:42] gdb: thnx , its good i registered it [18:42] rahilm: Very good! === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [18:42] bryce__, Thank you and sorry. I just needed that extra bit of reassurance that playing with matches was not going to burn down the house. Last-minute jitters! I'm off. [18:43] rob0: i've never used LILO, but sharing the /boot partitions sounds interesting, i'll research about doing it with GRUB a little [18:43] current LTS release is 8.04(.3) [18:43] xiong: yep, you'll get used to it after a couple releases [18:43] rob0, does LILO require a separate /boot? maybe thats why i did it, as i was using LILO [18:43] llutz: trism that is a v4l-dvb source folder , now it's required to know if there is driver for a dvb card or not , for example card model is prof-tuners 7500 , how to grep for it ? [18:44] Are any of you guys developers of Ubuntu, or just here for Q & A? [18:44] please i know this is a little mess for you, but would it be possible 4 anybody with default -virgin, unchanged- shortcuts to photograph it's settings and show me them? i'm a stub and changed a lot of them and there's no 'reset to defaults' button in system/preferences/shortcuts [18:44] xiven: #ubuntu-dev is where you want to go [18:44] obiwan_: Shortcuts? You mean the GNOME menus? [18:45] i don't know gdb [18:45] just the shortcuts menu in system/preferences/shorcuts [18:45] there you got a list of shortcuts, i messed all up while trying to set a shortcut [18:45] Does anyone here use a separate partition for their home folder? [18:46] How do i Install python opengl support? [18:46] now idk how to restore to defaults [18:46] ZykoticK9, thanks it saved. http://pastebin.com/m7a0ebdf4 just for understanding, in that text which one depicts the screen resoution? because I set it to 1152X... but those numbers arent present there === DJones_ is now known as DJones [18:46] linux mint had more of a "start bar" is there any way i can hit a button and type then name to launch an app? [18:46] yeah TheFunkbomb [18:46] TheFunkbomb: yes. [18:46] obiwan_: I believe the defaults are listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts [18:46] obiwan_: I think this is what you mean. :-) [18:46] obiwan_, and Spec... how large should I make the partition? [18:46] TheFunkbomb: as large as you can. it's where *your* data gets saved. [18:46] wow i'll try gdb lots of thx [18:47] obiwan_: Sure thing! [18:47] TheFunkbomb: all you can [18:47] TheFunkbomb: er... the question is usually how large to make the *root* partition. home should be as big as you need it to [18:47] TheFunkbomb: think that home is where all your data gets stored [18:47] Okay, how large should root be? [18:47] TheFunkbomb: if i have enough space, i'll do 20 gigs for root, 80+gigs for home [18:47] movies, clips, music, games, everything is in there [18:47] right, I have plenty of room [18:47] TheFunkbomb: 10 gig will do, 20 will be more than enough, as a rule of thumb [18:47] I have a 750gb hdd [18:47] The size of / depends on the needs of your system and if you are using separate /var, /tmp, /usr, and so on. [18:47] is just for system stuff and usually doesn't take up more than 5 gigs [18:47] gbd: it didn't work out, indeed deleted some packages (few more than synaptic) but majority is still there... [18:48] is there anything in ubuntu i can use to type and ten it will bring up my program [18:48] tt: alt+f2 [18:48] so a 20gb root is more than large enough? [18:48] thank you [18:48] gdb: it didn't work out, indeed deleted some packages (few more than synaptic) but majority is still there... [18:48] If you separate out /var, /tmp, /usr, /home, you can get away with a couple hundred megabytes for / (but I'd not recommend going that small). [18:48] tolpico, screen resolution isn't in "your" xorg - did you save the changes after making the change? Screen res is typically in the "Screen" section [18:48] I downoaded Python Opengl support and I want to know to install it [18:48] Jarxes: You won't like my solution, ie; what I do on my own machine when I want to make sure I get rid of all cruft. ;-) [18:48] can't connect to wireless, wep key is right [18:48] how to update my audio drivers? MCP73 High Definition Audio [18:49] Ubuntu_User: why did you download it manually rather than installing the one from the repositories? [18:49] gdb: fresh install?

[18:50] Jarxes: Start purging everything until you're back down to a base system. Then reinstall the desktop task. I actually have to do this to get rid of GNU Java on my Debian system to replace it with OpenJDK completely. It's sort of annoying. No, a fresh install isn't necessary. A way to do this that's painful is to start stripping packages down the dependancy tree of the suite you want to get rid of. You'll eventually hit the bottom of it.

I have the exe on my desktop, how do i install my program [18:50] Jarxes: Make liberal use of apt-cache depends [18:50] Jarxes: all you should need to do is use apt-cache depends ubuntustudio-graphics then purge each of the packages you find there (there aren't that many) [18:50] hah what trism said [18:51] beat me to it [18:51] hey gdb that ain't work, they aren't listed as in shortcuts menu [18:51] tt, in cli use "wine PROGRAM.EXE" or in GUI double click it [18:51] what is cli? [18:51] !cli [18:51] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [18:51] i can't just compare, i need to read or at least search for every single one [18:51] Hi.. I need to enter my password to authenticate POP mail with Evolution [18:51] how do i do this [18:51] tt, command line interface = terminal [18:52] Zeppelin: With the keyboard. [18:52] .. [18:52] grawity.. where do i go [18:52] i don't see any options for it [18:52] ZykoticK9, yes that text file was the result of the commands you gave. now in nvidia when I try to save the setting it gives me preview of sorg.conf which contains 1152X... , but nvidia cant save it, No i am in a position with the text it hand but cant save it to it. [18:52] Zeppelin: won't it ask the first time you try to access it? [18:52] Zeppelin: It'll ask for your password when it tries to download mail. [18:52] hi there how to update my audio drivers? MCP73 High Definition Audio [18:52] one other question, i added a win+t shortcut for gnome-terminal, but it gets opened in / but alt+f2 gnome-terminal opens it in home, i want the shortcut opens it in home too, how do i do? [18:52] tolpico, are you using "sudo nvidia-settings" you need to in order to save changes [18:53] gdb: trism: ok, let me try... [18:53] Does anyone know if you can repair an ubuntu 9.1 installation?? [18:53] ok so WINE TkFileExplorer_2.2.exe for my syntax [18:53] tt, use lowercase of "wine" not "WINE" [18:53] ZykoticK9: nvidia-settinsg is a graphical application.. use gksudo instead. [18:53] ok thank you and no quotes right? [18:54] maco, I've solved the sound problem....now just kbrd layout! Can u help me? [18:54] rbehr: depends on what is broken [18:54] hi my audio has problems help [18:54] Can anyone help me select a UK layout kbrd plse in karmic? :) [18:54] LizardK|ng: no, a separate /boot is not required for LILO. Does not hurt, but the 1024-cylinder issue was solved back in the 1990's, probably before my own Linux days. [18:54] bastid_raZor, tt that is correct -- don't use "sudo" for gui apps - my bad "gksu" saves 2 letters as well (for the lazy, which all good unix/linux admins should be) [18:54] ZykoticK9, wow! thats done clean and perfect, thanks once again. so edits need to be done as super user. is there a mnnual where we can get the commands like "nvidia-settings" [18:54] It is the boot function the 2.6.31-16 does not work but the 14 works [18:55] thank you very much [18:55] rob0, thats the reason i needed a /boot! the pesky 1024 cylinder thing [18:55] tolpico, don't know of any Super manual sorry.... learn on a case by case basis i'm affraid [18:56] Can anyone help me select a UK layout for my kbrd plse in karmic? :) [18:56] LizardK|ng, same as me, following outdated advice, but you're doing it 11+ years later. :) [18:56] Homely_Girl: Regional & Language [18:56] ZykoticK9, thank you very much, the support here at irc is encouraging me to learn more of ubuntu, Good day. [18:57] subito where do I change that?? [18:57] Homely_Girl: Did you look in gnome-keyboard-preferences yet? [18:57] anyone here know how to get the audio to work in Wine for World of Warcraft? [18:58] Homely_Girl: sorry i'm on KDE nevermind [18:58] Since I have installed Sun Virtual box I can not boot off of the first option getting unknown block but I can boot into 2.16.31.14-generic option [18:58] c0rsana: did you configure your audio in winecfg? [18:58] how to search for a file that has 2 word ? [18:58] rob0: LizardK|ng: from what i have read, the 1024-cylinder-problem was solved in 1998 [18:58] Multiple times, any suggestions as to what I should configure it to? [18:59] Okay, that was the year I started in Linux. [18:59] soreau, where's that? lol I went into system, then preferences 'n chose kbrd, but can't change it! It's selected a generic 105 ky intl kbrd! :( [18:59] It gives me5 drivers to choose from: ALSO, OSS, JACK, NAS, and EsounD [19:00] c0rsana: generally you want to stick with alsa (and only select alsa) [19:00] jamed, i was doing this in 1996 [19:00] I'll try that.... [19:00] hi, how can i enable privileges to write on a floppy drive? [19:00] c0rsana, http://wikizap.mobi/enwow/Wine_troubleshooting says if you get no audio to switch from Vista to WinXP in winecfg -- i don't play WOW, not first hand info [19:01] ah, cool, so LizardK|ng has been in it longer than me! [19:01] kromar: add your user to group floppy [19:01] Homely_Girl: Yes, that is gnome-keyboard-properties [19:01] Homely_Girl: This may help you: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Keyboard-Layout-in-Ubuntu [19:01] ty gdb [19:01] ahh, so it's the Wine OS that's the problem? === Floops[w]1 is now known as Fringe [19:01] Sure thing! [19:01] rob0, i took a 12-year break [19:01] Homely_Girl: I don't think you want to change the model, click Layout Options instead [19:02] just got back into ubunto about 2 months ago [19:02] ubuntu* [19:02] lol might be the problem.... I have Wine emulating Windows 7... [19:02] Linux has been my primary OS since 1994, that said, it's not my primary OS anymore (just for my server). [19:02] Woo! Thanks, it worked! [19:02] :D [19:03] LizardK|ng, I went the other way. By the end of '99 I was exclusively on Linux. [19:03] "mine is longer" today? [19:03] soreau, that is wot I'd tried, and set it to apply system wide too! But my at sign is still in the wrong place! :( [19:04] now damn that connection D: [19:04] Homely_Girl: Did the link gdb gave you help? [19:04] llutz, what brought it up was discussion of partitioning and the old LILO-1024-cylinder myth. [19:05] soreau, is more reading....will come back 2 u if I don't figure it out. Ta [19:05] Homely_Girl: If you changed the system wide keyboard settings, it is *possible* (I've no idea, really) that you may need to restart gdm and/or reboot the system. [19:05] e [19:05] test111: stop that [19:05] if I'm using only static network from network/interfaces, what's the safest/easiest way to disable network manager?

[19:08] alabd: grep -ri word1 folder/* |grep -i word2 [19:08] alabd: egrep 'word1|word2' [19:08] gdb both words [19:08] alabd: afaik grep has no AND function [19:08] how do i read system mail? [19:09] alabd: They have different results. Yours will show results of both words are present, mine will show if either word is present (ie; yours is an AND, mine's an OR). ;-) I don't know what he's trying to do, but egrep is what I use. [19:09] how can i get permissions to write on a floppy drive? [19:10] It's likely he wants the AND result. [19:10] kromar: add your user to group floppy [19:10] little detail: the first will show results if both words are present *on the same line*. [19:10] llutz: and how do i do that? o_O [19:10] kromar: sudo usermod -G floppy -a username [19:10] kromar: sudo adduser youruser floppy [19:10] kromar: sudo adduser username floppy [19:10] llutz: how to do that with GUI file seracher in ubuntu ? [19:10] alabd: no idea [19:11] I used a pencil on my last floppy drive, "I don't need this anymore." :) [19:11] why does the internet take so long to respond? using Ubuntu 9.10, firefox, synaptic [19:11] alabd: and see LjL comment, important... [19:12] why does the internet take so long to respond? using Ubuntu 9.10, firefox, synaptic, it just seems to pause for like 3 seconds before it does anything [19:12] hi all. running a dual boot of ubuntu 9.10 and the big ugly W. sometimes when booting or shuting down get a long row of what looks like ip addresses etc on the screen. also systems tends to freeze [19:12] alabd: you might use regexp with egrep for the "AND"-search [19:13] i3luefire, do you mean firefox response time? [19:13] hello [19:13] llutz: still read only for my user [19:13] any clues on causes???? [19:13] is btrfs stable?

I seem to keep losing connection. I am connected via ethernet, static ip and port forwarded [19:14] i3luefire, honestly it's just firefox and synaptic, both have done that for me always. Firefox has always had a poor response time, Synaptic will also probably be deprecated to the newer software center. [19:15] scott_ino2, its like all my requests are on a delay [19:15] hi my audio has problems help hi why is sendmail so heavy and slow? [19:15] LjL: do you mean this grep -ri word1 folder/* |grep -i word ? [19:15] hi how do you mount the cdrom from the terminal? [19:15] i3luefire, one thing you can try is using ... hold up let me find it [19:16] alabd: yes [19:16] rek: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom [19:16] what's sr0 ? [19:16] ljl there is not any second one ? [19:16] alabd: ? [19:16] rek: your cdrom [19:16] can i find it with something like fdisk - l ? llutz [19:17] llutz what so you mean of use regexp with egrep for the "AND"-search [19:17] gdb: boots pretty fast considering my archaic hardware! lol [19:17] i3luefire, i honestly can't think of the name... it's like prelaunch or something [19:17] LjL: you have told the first is so ... [19:17] i3luefire, loads it into ram upon boot [19:17] alabd: the second was [20:08:28] alabd: egrep 'word1|word2' [19:17] oh [19:17] Homely_Girl: ;-) [19:17] llutz: how can i delete my messages with mutt ? i press D and then a d appears but how can i delete them all? [19:18] alabd: something like egrep 'word1.*word[0-9]' file" [19:18] scott_ino2, that sounds cool. i'll look for it [19:18] why do i have these audio problems guys ? [19:18] scott_ino2, ty [19:18] rek: quit mutt [19:18] llutz: nothing happens [19:18] rek: maybe you should start to read documentation of apps you're using [19:18] rek: There's a purge key command, I forget what it is.

[19:19] I think pressing ? will give a list of keyboard shortcuts and purge should be listed there somewhere.

Assembles ok under live cd though [19:23] googl [19:23] frankely: is a fresh install an option? [19:23] thx gdb [19:23] i did it [19:23] i upgrade [19:23] cool [19:23] How to login as 'root'? [19:23] sudo gnome-terminal [19:23] i think [19:23] my notebook remix was a fresh install [19:23] ovnandan: 'sudo -s' [19:23] i am new to ububntu.... [19:24] ok [19:24] trying...."grawity' [19:24] frankely: you installed Netbook remix (not upgrade) and you don't have the netbook desktop? [19:24] but then i upgrade to karmic koala [19:24] if new, then why log on as root? [19:24] jimcooncat: He didn't say "new to Unix" [19:24] i installed notebook remix and i had the netbook desktop [19:24] frankely: Yeah, rather than upgrade, why not back up and do a fresh install of 9.10 Netbook Remix [19:25] grawity: my mistake. [19:25] you mean that install notebook remix again? [19:26] Actually "sudo -i" is a better simulation of a root login; you get a login shell and all of root's environment. [19:26] frankely: It's just a suggestion. Back up all of your personal data, download and create a Netbook Remix 9.10 disc/usb, and install it. [19:26] frankely, please check for ubuntu-netbook-remix on synaptic [19:26] ok thank you ill take it like last option [19:26] but some of my softwares still saying that ' must be run as root'?

Is it possible to install grub now and remove lilo? Lilo takes forever to boot. [19:27] ovnandan: you don't run drivers. you install them, and the kernel deals with them.

[19:28] sudo [19:28] 'sudo -s' not suitable i think in this case [19:28] ovnandan: don;t install such things. use the package manager or restricted drivers app [19:28] ovnandan: sudo cmd_you_want_to_run [19:28] how? [19:28] ovnandan: [19:28] sudo gnome-terminal [19:28] where to install drivers?

[19:35] ok, so i set up a tint2 toolbar a long time ago, lol.. and i forget how i got it set up to run on startup.. anyone able to point me to possible locations that i applied it? [19:35] er.. actually i think i just remembered === zach is now known as Guest58212 [19:35] is 3.7MB/ sec - megabits or megabytes [19:35] thank good I got "can not remove root dir" [19:35] *nods* i used the startup applications dialogue [19:36] how am i supposed to make ext2 partitions in windows for free? [19:36] zleap: transferring files on a hard drive? bytes [19:36] ok [19:36] zleap: if that's an internet connection, it's more likely bits.. but could be bytes if you have a rediculous connection also, lol [19:36] so would that be good on a 100 megabit network connection [19:36] zleap: rather poor [19:36] 100 megabit is roughly 12MB/s capability [19:36] yeah, [19:36] how is it possible that server is not running just quit working ? [19:36] mine is approx 11MB/s [19:36] divide it by 8 to get the maximum possible megabytes [19:37] hello how do i? [19:37] nikos1: read logs, find it out [19:37] zleap: take the speed in megabit.. divide by eight.. that will give you a rough number for bytes / second [19:37] ok so i have a network issue somewhere [19:37] how to log in as root? [19:37] hello all [19:37] ok thanks [19:37] llutz: where are the logs ? [19:37] 3.7 / 8 [19:37] zleap: sorry.. the speed in megabytes / second [19:37] then [19:37] what replaces the old inittab ? [19:37] nikos1: most likely /var/log... [19:37] can anybody tell me how to log in as root? [19:37] hello please? [19:37] llutz: ok thx [19:37] ovnandan: sudo passwd root [19:37] zleap: I think capital B is byte, lower case b is bit [19:37] !root | ovnandan [19:37] ovnandan: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:37] ovnandan: there is no root password in the default install, once you do that you can login as root [19:37] ovnandan: why do you want to log in as root? [19:37] Slart: it's already in bytes/s [19:37] UID: sudo? Pass: root? [19:38] !supportroot | blakkheim [19:38] blakkheim: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [19:38] So, a few hours passed, I will ask my question again. Why does network manager take down my wireless interface when logging out of gdm? I'd like a system where network does not depend on GUI. [19:38] Slart: it'd be horribly pitiful if he was transferring files at like 300kb/s, lol [19:38] because some of my software can only run in root [19:38] ovnandan: sudo -i [19:38] ok i wil lhave a look and see why I am running at a low speed, i would expect better as its only going from pc to router to netbook via what should bea 100 megabit network [19:38] zleap: netbook via wireless? [19:38] wired [19:38] moving lots of files across [19:39] ah.. pc wired also? [19:39] yep [19:39] mordof: 3.7 MB/s would be 3.7 megabyte per second.. [19:39] rob0: That's what network manager is for. If you'd like to nail up the connection, remove that interface from network manager's control and configure it in /etc/network/interfaces [19:39] mordof: capital B for byte [19:39] Slart: indeed. so there's no need to do any conversion [19:39] ah, a feature, huh? [19:39] mordof: the conversion was to compare that to the 100Mbit of his connection [19:40] sudo -i also not working to run 'root only' softwares :( [19:40] can someone help me with some text processing [19:40] (1001, '1', '1', 1, '1CABS', '1 CABSYS', '', 0, '', 'I1.49840770.microsoft.com', 0, 32768, 32768, 32768, 32768, 'Default', 0, '', 0, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '', -1), [19:40] rob0: Or "misfeature" in your case? ;-) [19:40] network manager was kind of handy for going to hotspots. [19:40] Slart: ah [19:40] I'm running amarok in ubuntu, and it won't play music. Upon starting it I am told that it's failed to use the sound device and will play via pulseaudio instead, but when it tries to play a track it can't do so and just skips it [19:40] I don't know where to start to fix this :( [19:40] Any ideas? [19:40] i need to remove the numbers from column 5 and 6 [19:40] zleap: speed of hard drives / write speed can change things also [19:40] is there any way to log in as 'root'? like other 'accounts? [19:40] good point [19:40] ovnandan: i already told you how [19:40] zleap: i find that when i write to my ntfs drive mounted in ubuntu - i get around 4.5-5MB/s [19:40] i have manualy (meaning by compiling) installed some python modules, now it seems python doesnt find them since app that uses them cant import them, i think python needs to update its module list or something like that, any suggestion? [19:40] well my main pc has something like ata100 [19:40] ovnandan: not by default.. I think gnome will stop you even if you managed to setup a root password.. [19:40] zleap: and that's directly in my computer [19:41] not sure about netbook its probably something newly [19:41] what with username: sudo and password: root? [19:41] not working... [19:41] ovnandan: you don't want to log in as root [19:41] netbokk probably has something newer [19:41] ovnandan: but there is seldom any good reason to do that.. sudo works for everything and if you want a root terminal you can run sudo -i [19:41] ovnandan: what command do you want to run? [19:41] wrong uid/pass it saying [19:41] zleap: capped by the slowest component. netbook would likely be sata [19:41] Hilikus: use awk should be fairly easy [19:41] ovnandan is asking the wrong question. The right question is how to get nvidia drivers working. [19:41] i want to run my driver software [19:41] ovnandan: sudo -i [19:41] ovnandan: what is the command? [19:41] ovnandan: why do i keep repeating that? [19:41] ovnandan: use sudo to run stuff as root in a terminal.. gksudo for gui applications (gedit and such) [19:42] it's a .run software [19:42] ovnandan: If you need root access on the command line in gnome-terminal, run "su -" and enter your password. Likewise, you can preface every command with "sudo" and each one will be run with root permissions. [19:42] rob0: did you install the connection for all users? because I just stopped gdm and I still have my connection from network-manager [19:42] i suppose one way to do it fast would be to create a ram drive on the netbook, copy stuff to that, then from the ramdrive to hard disk [19:42] inclement, you need to install xine [19:42] but thats rather OTT for what I am doing [19:42] ovnandan: then run "sudo sh blablabla.run" [19:42] ovnandan: sudo ./run-my-program [19:42] Hilikus: #openoffice.org seems more appropriate for your problem [19:42] trism: thanks, I'll try that, that makes sense [19:42] ovnandan: or what gdb said.. that works too [19:42] zleap: or just practice some patience :) hehe [19:42] bradpitt: Okay, will do, thanks very much [19:42] yeah [19:42] trism: Ah, that's a good point. [19:43] zleap: it's likely the ata100 drive that's taking the extra time [19:43] i don't have a problem with that speed, i was meerly asking why the numbers seemed low [19:43] inclement, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MP3_on_Kubuntu [19:43] FUCKERS [19:43] FUCKERS [19:43] kjye: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:43] yikes, a lot of noise in this channel. [19:44] i did that but it saying ' ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root' [19:44] ovnandan: what did you run? tell us the exact command that you typed [19:44] ovnandan: sudo -i [19:44] Can I get some help with a Windows bug?I'm being ignored in #Windows [19:44] * mneptok repeats it AGAIN [19:44] Chaorain: this channel is for ubuntu support only.. sorry but we can't help you with windows bugs [19:44] ovnandan: what *exactly* did you do? [19:44] Chaorain: being ignored != being neglected [19:44] Chaorain: this is #ubuntu. we do not give help with Windows. [19:44] i am confused... apparently i am totally new to ubuntu or linux...no idea about these command stufs.... [19:45] ovnandan: sudo -i [19:45] mneptok: you can stop that now [19:45] mneptok: it clearly isn't working [19:45] mneptok: it wasn't the real answer anyway [19:45] Seeker`: i'm completely baffled [19:45] ovnandan: if you are new wht not use System>dministration>hardware drivers ???? [19:45] rob0: uhhh .... [19:45] "ovnandan is asking the wrong question. The right question is how to get nvidia drivers working." [19:45] ovnandan: what command did you type? [19:46] Any ideas why I'm getting this error trying to play an MPG? I installed ubuntu-restricted-extra. http://dpaste.com/137134/ [19:46] zleap: it's 1/4 of your max network speed... it might be something wrong, i don't know. i also have no idea how to diagnose that.. maybe load a large chunk of data into RAM and transfer it to another program recieving it. maybe localized messenger or something [19:46] rob0: and the hardware drivers applet shows him/her no avaiable drivers. [19:46] what is this? some kind of time loop? everything keeps repeating.. What's happening doc?? [19:46] should a wireless usb keyboard by logitech work? [19:46] Oh well, I have lost interest in it. [19:46] MTeck: I usually see that when the file is corrupt / incomplete. [19:46] kermit: i have 2 that do [19:46] Slart: welcome back :-) [19:46] kermit: wireless keyboards that doesn't need drivers usually just work [19:46] guntbert: hehe.. thanks [19:47] kermit: wireless usb just works, it doesn't depend on the os at all [19:47] mordof: you mean it is 1/4 of the maximum network speed if you assume no overhead, or anything else using the connection [19:47] mneptok: i did 'sudo -i' it changed from @-desktop-: to root@-: but the program still saying 'must be run as root',.....:( [19:47] Seeker`: yes, i did make that assumption in this case [19:47] ovnandan: well, then the .run from nVidia is broken, because you are root. [19:47] ovnandan: maybe ask the nvidia folks for help? [19:47] tonyyarusso: You know which package I should reinstall? I'm updating the system now but it's going to take a while.... [19:47] tonyyarusso: thanks [19:47] I need some help with amarok, when I start it states that the phonon audio device does not work and is falling back to default. However I don't have sound on amarok? [19:48] mordof: not really a valid assumption [19:48] I got compiz to work! [19:48] MTeck: not a package, the MPG. [19:48] ok...i see... === ghost is now known as Guest71081 [19:48] tonyyarusso: oh.... that makes more sense; You think it's possible to recover it?> [19:49] is their any other way to know..I am really running as 'root' or not? (gui based plz) [19:49] I'm new to ubuntu and linux and tried the forums but there are suggestions that I don't understand how to complete. [19:49] I am dual-booting windows XP and ubuntu 9.10. I followed the standard install technique. Why cant I read my linux files when I am running windows? [19:49] ovnandan: whoami [19:49] lol. I do have a question of you fine people. Does anyone in here know how to install icon themes in GNOME? [19:49] can anyone help me out? [19:49] zleap: apparently Seeker`sees it fit that i point out there might be overhead or other limitations on your network connection (other transfers or something going on) [19:49] 'whoami' is a commad? [19:49] llutz: how to have a search for 2 word not only in one line the point that ljl mentioned ? [19:49] Guest71081: open the Appearance preference panel and drop the icon archive on it [19:49] MTeck: depends how you got it. [19:49] ovnandan: are you trying to run the .run file in a terminal or are you just clicking on it? [19:49] ovnandan: yes [19:49] MTeck: torrents are good for that [19:49] anyone know if theres a bacula 3.x repo for 9.10??? [19:49] tonyyarusso: recorded it [19:49] Hrm [19:49] jaza: best to take them one at a time. want to pick one and give it a shot? [19:50] Guest71081: drag the tar.gz over the System>Preferences>Apearance||Themes window then drop it [19:50] alabd: grep -rie 'word2|word1' folder/* [19:50] mneptok: let me try that, thanks! [19:50] tonyyarusso: eh - I gotta run - thanks for the help [19:50] MTeck: :S Then I'm not sure [19:50] mneptok: hummm...saying i am root [19:50] lluTZ that is OR [19:50] ovnandan: so then type the path and name of the .run file [19:50] hi guys, i lost my passford for my linux op [19:50] mneptok: ok thanks for now... [19:50] I also wanted to know why .zip files, once extracted, are telling me that they are invalid themes [19:50] how can i retrieve it [19:50] I also wanted to know why .zip files, once extracted, are telling me that they are invalid themes? [19:50] alabd: sure, grep only searches linewise [19:50] my pc is right here [19:50] Sorry for the double posts. [19:50] alabd: so grepping on different lines is OR [19:50] I tried the ones I could do but the others can't do. [19:51] mneptok: no..i think really that .run file is either broken or decayed! [19:51] Guest71081: Try dropping the .zip on Appearances directly? [19:51] llutz: thanks [19:51] norbi: When booting, hold the Shift key. The grub menu should appear. On that, select the "recovery mode" option. That will boot to a root command line. Then, invoke 'passwd yourusernamehere', and reset it. [19:51] ovnandan: does it smell funny, or have any mold or fungus growing on it? [19:51] it refers to deleting items in KDE which I'm not to familiar with. [19:51] norbi: you cannot retrieve it - but you can change it from the recovery system [19:51] Yeah, I tried dropping it.. [19:51] I'm using the default NetworkManager under Karmic...I want to use OpenDNS...do I have to set it up individually on every wireless connection I use? [19:51] It tells me its invalid, and all the cool themes are in .zip! [19:51] lol [19:51] mnepok: can you tell me how to install grapic/sound driver in ubuntu?

[19:53] can somone link me to the ubuntu torrent pls [19:53] lol. [19:53] ericdb: use wicd instead of networkmanager, it works well with opendns and you only have to set it up once [19:53] jpds: Yeah, I suppose. They are way cool themes though. [19:53] Thanks for everyones help! [19:53] i was holded the shift key [19:53] gdb: trism: thanks guys, it worked. But this all deal makes me wonder... Shouldn't Synaptic be able to remove ALL the packages dependent on any suite like ubuntustudio-graphics? It's logical isn't it? I installed it this way so I should be able to uninstall it the same way. Synaptic devs apparently still have some job to do on their project... [19:53] hello please? [19:53] but it doesnt apears === anonymous_ is now known as gantrixx [19:54] blakkheim: I might check into wicd later on (I used to use it back when it was the only way for Ubuntu to talk to my campus network), but for now I'm looking for a NetworkManager solution. [19:54] blakkheim: thanks for the guide [19:54] why wont anyone help me [19:55] I have a problem with amarok, there is no sound? [19:55] arubadude: You haven't asked for anything? [19:55] Iowan: link to ubuntu 64bit torrent [19:55] iso [19:55] what is this "+Pcgnt" near to .... #irssi(+Pcgnt)? [19:56] can anyone help?

I don't know if it is a totem error or an x.org error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1f69ab20 Basically, I'll play a video and it will cause totem to crash, after that all videos will crash totem. I can fix it by restarting X. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the video itself as I can go back and play the video just fine. Any ideas? I'd like to report the bug, but I don't know to [19:56] whom. [19:56] arubadude: [19:56] please, i can't work out why a gnome-terminal shortcuts starts in / instead of my home!? what's up with gnome's keyboard shorcuts?

[20:01] finall question, can anybody tell me..that all the drivers and softwares need to run ubuntu...can be found from the OS itself? [20:01] Telvana: Is it even maintained still? Have you considered irssi? It's the "successor" to bitchx and is actively maintained. [20:01] heoa: dpkg should have configured that automatically. [20:01] Telvana: didn't know it was in the repo [20:01] tonyyarusso: thanks that helped [20:01] hey all, ive got a partician that im not using, how do i over write it and envelop it into my main hdd [20:01] gdb: I am running irssi now, just wanted to run BX for nostalgia. :) [20:02] gdb: nope, BitchX is not maintained - and still has some serious security holes. [20:02] heoa: if installed via apt, it's already started on startup. [20:02] Telvana: compile from source? [20:02] Telvana: Oh, I certainly understand that! I wish I could get olvwm. :-) [20:02] heoa: dpkg should have configured that automatically. [20:02] ovnandan, generally speaking yes [20:02] can anyone help on a problem with megaraid driver? [20:02] heoa: But since you first asked in #archlinux -- Arch uses /etc/rc.conf for autostarting daemons. [20:02] gdb: I guess I could look and see if there is a theme for irssi that's like bitchx. [20:03] what is this mean passwd [option][LOGIN] [20:03] Telvana: that would be fun to see :) [20:03] Failed to run /usr/sbin/gparted as user root. [20:03] Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.

However I don't have sound on amarok? [20:03] ewook: Well, I hope it exists. Granted, I do like how irssi looks by default. It's a lot cleaner than bx [20:03] when ubuntu minimal-cd , how to install gnome properly ? [20:04] moDumass: did you start it with gksudo? [20:04] Telvana: If you just want to test -- http://www.bitchx.org/, configure, make, sudo checkinstall - will generate a .deb [20:04] Telvana: http://irssi.org/themes -- there's a bitchx theme there :) [20:05] Is bitchx not in getdeb? [20:05] gunthway, no space left on device when i try to start it that way [20:05] Telvana: http://irssi.org/themefiles/BitchX.png -- there is the screenshot [20:05] bad terminal emulation though [20:05] I once had made numb3rs.theme, based on that Numb3rs episode [20:05] http://www.getbed.net [20:05] evening! [20:06] hi. how can i check the chmod of a folder? [20:06] gdb: Looks good. I guess I have some work to do. Stupid question though, since it's a theme I assume it won't open up the same holes that the original BX had? I am not sure about how the irssi themes work. [20:06] keres: ls -ld folder [20:06] keres: 'ls -ld folder' to see the permissions [20:06] moDumass: no space left on device generally means you have a full partition (if it's seen when using a command, it's probably either /tmp or /var that's full) [20:06] thanks! [20:06] Telvana: It's just a theme. It changes nothing more than display formatting. [20:06] Telvana: It's just look-and-feel. [20:06] guntbert, that what happens when i try to launch it from menu, i get no space left on device when i launch it from console [20:07] gdb: ok, thank you. I wasn't sure as to what all it involved. [20:07] Hey guys im looking for a tutoreil that would show me the idiot steps (as in every step from a to z) in regards to starting up ubuntu server and have programs auto start in byobu each in their own window [20:07] how to install gnome properly on ubuntu server? [20:07] gdb, i have a spare 13gig partician that i want to format into the main Filesystem, but i cant [20:08] moDumass: Are you using LVM for your partition management? [20:08] moDumass: that looks two messages for the same problem, please !pastebin the output of df -h [20:08] does anyone have any experience with libvirt / KVM on Ubuntu Server 9.10? [20:08] moDumass: Or do you simply want to mount it as another filesystem? [20:08] gme30066: a little - what's up? [20:08] I want install ubuntu, i have a CD but when i restart my computer, it does not boot the linux CD. [20:08] meero, i suggest that you are doing things backwards - rather then install Gnome on Server, install services on the Desktop version === Guest89122 is now known as h32Lg [20:08] where were the splashes stored? [20:09] @tonyarusso - trying to migrate some VMs from VirtualBox to KVM and am struggling with getting networking up and running. I think it's because all of my VBox VMs used Bridged networking. [20:09] Baxnie: You need to configure your BIOS to boot from your optical drive before your disk(s) [20:09] Baxnie: The solution to your problem will depend on your computer. There will either be a key combo to press during boot to select CD, or you may need to configure your computer's BIOS to boot from CDROM. [20:09] gdb, its a 13 gig partician that was created last time i did an update [20:09] [AJC_Z0]: The windows cd the computer boots ok, but the linux not [20:09] gdb, im sorry i cant paste to pastebin because firefox wont start [20:09] !pastebinit | moDumass [20:09] moDumass: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [20:09] moDumass: That doesn't tell me anything. Do you simply want to mount it somewhere as a new filesystem, or are you wanting to expand some LVM partitions to include the space? [20:09] I cant get my internet to connect on my laptop no wireless or wired [20:10] moDumass: df -h | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us [20:10] gme30066: Perhaps you already have, but the first thing I'd check is what device name they're trying to use, and if that's right. [20:10] Baxnie, when your computer starts, you may need to press a key like DEL or F10 or F2, it shud say, then you need to change the boot order so that the CDROM boots first [20:10] gdb, id like to expand [20:10] [protojay]: the computer detects windows CD, but not the linux [20:10] so my bios config is Ok [20:10] @tonyarusso - Yep. :-) /dev/eth0 [20:10] ZykoticK9: actually, im interested in installing minimal ubuntu, just firefox, without bloatware on OLD notebook [20:10] i put them on the same cd driver [20:10] (not at the same time, of course) [20:10] Baxnie: how did you create the CD? [20:11] moDumass: And you are using LVM for partition management? I'm not sure if Ubuntu sets that up by default or not. If it does, then there is documentation online for growing partitions (but it's not pretty). [20:11] [guntbert]: downloaded the 9.10 iso, extract the files, and burned them into a cd [20:11] oh dear [20:11] Baxnie, thats wrong [20:11] gdb: trism: thanks guys, it worked. But this all deal makes me wonder... Shouldn't Synaptic be able to remove ALL the packages dependent on any suite like ubuntustudio-graphics? It's logical isn't it? I installed it this way so I should be able to uninstall it the same way. Synaptic devs apparently still have some job to do on their project... [20:11] [zomGreg]: why? [20:11] im trying to enter into the ##php channel [20:11] gdb, i dont know, if that is the default then yes LVM, GPARTED is what ive been using to sort stuff out in the past [20:11] but i`ve been banned? [20:11] 'omg, why? [20:11] see you all [20:11] Baxnie, you need to burn the iso image so its as an ISO 96xx image [20:11] can i somehow find ut why? [20:12] im never agressive [20:12] Yoddle [20:12] norbi: /mode ##php +b [20:12] never talking in bad way [20:12] Can anybody tell me a command line that will find all files in a directory tree matching a pattern (like "mp3") and give me both the name of the file and of the directory? [20:12] shit, i wasted the only cdr i had here [20:12] Yoddle= hello [20:12] norbi: The channel bans everyone who is connected as 'root'. [20:12] norbi: then you should talk to the channel operaters [20:12] There's gotta be a way [20:12] gme30066: and what does that match up with on the host? (for me it's virbr0) [20:12] rkj: find dir/ -name '*.mp3' [20:12] ZykoticK9: so when i install ubuntu minimal-cd, im asking how to install gnome correctly that it starts automaticly with system [20:12] rkj: find /path/to/files -type f -name \*.mp3 -print [20:12] I face a serious problem with apt-get: I can't get any connection to an update-server.

[20:13] I tried "ls -R *.mp3" and that was barfed upon - thanks for the suggestions I will try [20:13] @tonyarusso - virbr0 as well. [20:13] ZykoticK9: np [20:14] @tonyarusso - Under virtualbox, host eth0 was an internal IP. guest eth0 was also an internal IP, and guest eth0:0 was a public IP. [20:14] anyone knows hot to install gnome on ubuntu minimal-cd? [20:14] where can i check this : where to type? /mode ##php +b [20:14] norbi: Type the command in the message box [20:14] but returns nothing [20:14] norbi: Anyway, I already told you why you are banned [20:14] @tonyarusso - With libvirt and kvm, I can't seem to figure out how to assign a public IP to guest eth0:0 [20:15] gme30066: oh, hrm... I haven't done that yet either. *reads man pages* [20:15] meero: You shouldn't have to do anything special, just ask for a regular desktop/ubuntu install. [20:15] norbi: disconnect, close your client and restart it as normal user (not as root) [20:15] @tonyarusso - :-/ what I was afraid of. :-) [20:15] grawity, gdb both forms worked - thanks [20:15] connected as 'root', what is this means [20:15] meero: Did you already finish the install of a command line only system? [20:16] it means that if i conenct whit 'root' linux user [20:16] it bans me/ [20:16] ? [20:16] norbi: that means you started your irc client as root [20:16] * gme30066 wonders if canonical's paid support is open during Christmas ;-) [20:16] norbi: yes, exactly. [20:16] i understand [20:16] so need to create an user [20:16] Hey guys i have a proble m [20:16] thanks for figuring this out! [20:16] Can some one help me get my wireless to work it wont even turn on and im useing ubunutu im new to it [20:16] !noroot | norbi [20:16] norbi: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [20:17] !root [20:17] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:17] Someone spammed me on xchat with the file transfer protocol but now, When i try to X out of them in ubunutu nothing happens [20:17] norbi: don't work as root ! [20:17] But they are responsive [20:17] gme30066: I bet they are. [20:17] Can i get some help? [20:17] How do i end the task? or close the windows [20:18] esto es extrañisimo tios [20:18] oops [20:18] Purpley: Kill the xchat process? The command is 'pkill' [20:18] kk [20:19] Flannel: yes, but if i do sudo tasksel and ubuntu-desktop, it installs all the "usefull"ware [20:19] Flannel:but i want just firefox, thats all === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [20:19] what server for email is good for ubuntu? [20:19] meero: You don't need GNOME just for Firefox [20:19] meero: tasksel ubuntu-desktop should work, what are you having issues with? [20:19] Flannel: He just explained >_> [20:20] !info gnome-base [20:20] Package gnome-base does not exist in karmic [20:20] !info gnome-desktop [20:20] Package gnome-desktop does not exist in karmic [20:20] ... [20:20] grawity: what do u suggest then? [20:20] meero: apt-cache search gnome | grep ^gnome [20:21] gme30066: I may have found something - chill for a few while I try stuff. [20:21] Flannel: not issues, but the think is that ubuntu-desktop installs bloatware, with it [20:21] I have 3 partitions and a 64 GB empty space on my hard drive. I am using gparted to change the partition size. I can only resize the third and last partition (using the free space). But i need to change the size of the second partition ( i can't increase the size of it). any suggestion please? === cjohnston is now known as FFEMTcJ === FFEMTcJ is now known as cjohnston [20:22] hi guys. I just installed karmic on my inspiron 1545, and the wireless doesn't work. according to google, i just need to connect with ethernet and install updates to fix it. I don't have an ethernet cable, though. I unplugged my router and connected the cable that was going to it to the lappy, and no connection. Does the cord have to be coming from the router? [20:22] meero: gnome-core in karmic appears to be able as minimal a gnome as you'll get, whether that is enough to run a gnome session, I don't know [20:23] bobie, shutdown your cable modem, waint 30s and restart, then connect to laptop [20:23] meero: seems to be everything you'd need though [20:23] ironmanerz: ok, imma try it. [20:23] meero: no firefox though, you'd need to add that yourself [20:23] bobie, make sure eth0 is set for dhcp, not manual ip config [20:24] meero: there is also gnome-desktop-enviroment, but that looks like it installs more than ubuntu-desktop [20:24] meero: Yeah, There are more minimal (non-gnome) desktops you can install too. Try look into open box [20:24] ironmanerz: where do you do that? the network config thingy? [20:24] @tonyarusso - will do! (I tried setting up bridging but that caused me to lose my IP address on HOST/eth0) and I can't NAT. [20:25] there's bugs in my koala [20:25] trism: thats perfets and suits well, but do you know if i install gnome-core, it starts gnome automaticly with start of ubunut? (its for mother, i dont want her to type commands on startup) [20:25] ineedhelp: Wireless is tricky - might be driver?? Forum thread might yield better response. [20:25] bobie, yeah if you are using to network manager it should be set to auto, not manual [20:25] *the [20:26] @tonyarusso - (I'm migrating my web server from VirtualBox to KVM and setting up a new TrixBox under KVM. Tried setting up TrixBox & PBX In A Flash under VirtualBox but sound was too choppy so trying KVM to see if performance improves.) [20:26] Flannel: i like gnome much :-) , but anyway, what else do u suggest? [20:26] ironmanerz: ok, it is. doesn't work still. [20:27] ironmanerz: is it worth buying a cable to connect to the router? [20:27] This irssi theme doesn't look a whole lot like BitchX, lol. [20:27] ironmanerz: or is that completely un related. [20:27] meero: I don't know of any other metapackages that provide a stripped down gnome, gnome-desktop-environment isn't. But you could certainly look at what it installs gnome-wise and just install those manually [20:27] why my auth box is flickering when i try to login and even if im changing my pass, it doesnt let me [20:27] is this a virus? [20:28] its like a game [20:28] meero: If it is for the "mother", I'm certain she would not be irked with ubuntu-desktop. [20:28] bobie, it sounds like an IP config problem...what does ifconfig show? [20:28] if you click on a box you win 5000000000 dollars, but you never can click on it [20:28] cause its flickers [20:29] mobi-sheep: :-) its is old notebook, again, i dont want ubuntu-desktop , because of bloatware, and speed issues [20:29] meero: Xubuntu? [20:29] i was just going to say that [20:29] meero: Lubuntu? [20:29] mneptok: for mother? are u sure? [20:29] ironmanerz: a heads up: bobie won't get an IP address without the router [20:29] meero: quite [20:30] meero: Lubuntu is a good choice, yes [20:30] guntbert, why not? [20:30] hello in xchat, ubuntu where is the option to disable the display of system messages in channels(logged in logged out etc)? [20:30] meero: XFCE is as usable as GNOME [20:30] meero: As Flannel suggested, take a look at ubuntu-desktop metapackages and install the specific packages manually. [20:30] meero: (those dependencies are viewable here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-desktop ) [20:30] ironmanerz: i can't copy paste from it when it has no interwebs. [20:30] ironmanerz: very often the routers have a different protocol between them and the ISP [20:30] tolpico: Right-click on the chat channel tree/tab and edit it under Settings. [20:30] ironmanerz: what am i looking for? [20:31] mneptok: yes, for geeks, but not for old-minded peole, they want ease of use, and nice interface [20:31] meero: my 75 year old father uses XFCE [20:31] bobie: the easiest solution: buy a cable :-) [20:32] mobi-sheep, thanks [20:32] Flannel: yes, that is lot of unnecesary-ware [20:32] tolpico: No problem. [20:32] bobie: unplug the cable modem. discinnect the router. wait 10m. then plug the computer into the cable modem directly. the modem has probably limited the MAC address to that of the router, and you need to wait for that setting to expire. [20:33] guntbert, you mean the modem and the isp? [20:33] bobie, ip should be public if you are plugged into the modem and it's working [20:34] mneptok: mneptok your old father is linux geek? :-) my mother doest know after 5 ears of using notebook how to write email :-) [20:34] ironmanerz: yes - I simply assumed that is one box [20:34] meero: have you ever actually used XFCE? [20:34] mneptok: just a short time .... tried [20:34] mneptok: meero: have u used LXDE? [20:35] meero: go get a Xubuntu live session and try it out. [20:35] ironmanerz, guntburt, mneptok: imma buy a cable. :p [20:35] mneptok: maybe i should take longer examination [20:35] ironmanerz, guntburt, mneptok: thanks. [20:35] hmm...alright, take the fun out of it [20:35] r0k3tm3n: considering Lubuntu is in no way in any kind of supported state, it's probably not a good idea for a new user. [20:36] Hi.. does anyone know what proxy settings i can use to be anonynous with this xchat ? [20:36] mneptok: i didn't mean Lubuntu as an os, 'apt-get install lxde' [20:36] !cloak > Phill_ [20:36] Phill_, please see my private message [20:36] !cloak > norbi [20:36] norbi, please see my private message [20:37] !cloak [20:37] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [20:38] Installing Lubuntu-desktop alongside Gnome - can cause some quirky issues also. r0k3tm3n [20:39] lol it says to contact network staff ?! [20:39] Dr_Willis: testing only, of course.. =) [20:40] ccafternoon dr willis [20:40] Phill_: further details in #freenode please [20:42] why the interent not working on guest? [20:43] hamzaatove does it autosart the network connection with guest [20:43] hamzaatova2: privilege [20:43] 'ello [20:44] is there a way to make openssh only available to computers in my home lan? [20:44] blackest_knight1, what should i do to make it work? [20:44] use a regular account [20:44] allin-: the ssh server has all sorts of settings you can change. [20:44] allin-: check its config filkes [20:44] allin-: firewall on your connection to the internet [20:45] allin-: usually build into the router [20:45] allin-: you can set up the ssh server to only allow local lan access [20:45] can someone help me configure x? i have two ati cards, one with two screens and a third on the other. i get a desktop across the screen on one card and one of the screens on the other, but the second screen on that card just mirrors the first one. [20:45] Multi ati cards.. now thats scary [20:46] what driver u using userfriendly [20:46] hamzaatova2: what virtualization system? what host OS? what guest OS? [20:46] at least its not an ati+nvidia cards.. [20:46] i simply want the desktop to stretch across all screens [20:46] fglrx [20:46] userfriendly, I have a similar issue, with two ATI adapters where it's too much headache to get X driver to talk to both at once [20:46] (i have it working with an ati and an nvidia, at work... kinda puzzled why it doesn't work with two ati cards) [20:46] guntbert, gnome - i dont know what are the others [20:46] mneptok: and what about ubuntu-remix compared to xubuntu? [20:46] userfriendly: display manager would set them up as mirrored initially but you will want them stacked above each other i dont think you will be able to put them side by side initially at least [20:47] hamzaatova2: what did you mean with "guest" then? [20:47] i'd be content if they weren't mirrored, for starters :D [20:47] check pm user [20:47] Is there a way to install kdesu/kdesudo in GNOME? [20:47] guntbert, guest user under the user name drop down [20:47] userfriendly: check display manager [20:48] displaymanager is a no-go, i have xinerama enabled [20:48] mac9416: yes all kubuntu stuff will work in gnome but will drag in dependencys [20:48] hamzaatova2: aah - I misunderstood completely :-) - so as regular user everything works? [20:48] userfriendly: sorry not played with that [20:49] blackest_knight1, I may be able to handle the dependencies. Do you know what the package name is? [20:49] guntbert, yes - and also - f-spot cant complete the upload process to 23hq [20:50] mac9416: kdesudo [20:50] hamzaatova2: lets keep to one problem please : go to your regular account, select system/preferences/network connections [20:50] blackest_knight1, E: Couldn't find package kdesudo [20:51] mac9416: sudo synaptic and add all the repositories [20:51] blackest_knight1, yeah my bad. I had all repos disabled for some reason. [20:52] guntbert, ok [20:52] hamzaatova2: are we talking about wired or wireless? [20:53] guntbert, less [20:54] !gksudo | blackest_knight1 [20:54] blackest_knight1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:54] hamzaatova2: then select the wireless tab, there select your current connection [20:54] blackest_knight1: also synaptic is calling gksudo by its own, so no need for it [20:55] guntbert, fine [20:55] hello, i am trying to figure out how to update my grub2 menu, for some reason when I update and install kernel updates the grub menu doesn't get updated so I only have the option to boot 2.6.31-14 even though i have 2.6.31-16 installed. I have googled but not found much nor know what to google. Anyone know how to fix this? [20:55] guntbert, yes i see it [20:55] hamzaatova2: now click on edit [20:56] guntbert, does this option menas that it will enable the interent on guest? === Whitesquall1 is now known as Whitesquall [20:56] so I heard brittany murphey is giving up acting [20:56] so i just downloaded ubuntu 9.10 iso burned it on a cd and ran it, i ran the check integrity option and it found an error what do I do?

[21:02] ironmanerz: if i install from the CD it gives me the option to partition right? [21:02] LeChacal: 'ls /boot' see whether that shows the kernel there. [21:02] LeChacal, I'm no grub2 expert but have been wrangling with it for some time; have you looked at the grub home page? [21:02] what is up with the ttf-mscorefonts-installer error? [21:02] Install virt-manager package.... go into the details for the the VM.... remove the current network interface.... and add a new network interface. From there you can select "Shared Physical Device". .... my NICs are grayed out but I'm so close I can feel it. :-) [21:02] Can I get to the wine dir in Terminal. Issue an "ls" and I don't see wine [21:03] madagascar27, yup auto or manual [21:03] hamzaatova2: let me check another idea [21:03] Fezzler: ls -a [21:03] ironmanerz: ? what [21:03] hi, where can I find the actual font files? I need to copy one over to my 3d application, TIA [21:03] Fezzler, go to home and set to see hiden folders [21:03] guntbert, i mean in life [21:03] jolaren: command seems OK to me. dunno. [21:03] @tonyarusso - Install virt-manager package.... go into the details for the the VM.... remove the current network interface.... and add a new network interface. From there you can select "Shared Physical Device". .... my NICs are grayed out but I'm so close I can feel it. :-) [21:03] dabaR: yes it shows 2.6.31-14, 2.6.31-15, and 2.6.31-16 [21:03] I need to del wine.dir [21:03] heh, yes it will help you partition automatically or manually, prolly auto [21:04] Fezzler: cd ~ then rm -fr .wine [21:04] adminewb: yes i have looked around on there page but they dont talk about how grub gets update when a new kernel is installed [21:04] LeChacal: pastebin output of sudo grub-mkconfig please. [21:04] gme30066: interesting. Say, you know how as a regular user you can do --connect qemu:///session, and get user-constrained stuff? How would you then access those resources as root? (What's the URI?) [21:04] Ov3rf10w, i think some sort of mp4 but not sure [21:04] something about I installed wine with sudo - apparently a no no [21:04] hamzaatova2: sorry, my last idea didn't work out either === root is now known as Guest50677 [21:05] do we have quick time for linux ? [21:05] LeChacal, yes, it's quite the convoluted process to be sure [21:05] guntbert, the network dont even start on guest [21:05] thevishy, ok try ex: ffmpeg -i file.avi file.mp4 [21:05] Fezzler: from pakages? It's ok. sudo apt-get install wine [21:05] @tonyarusso - I just sudo virt-manager and everything is there. Of course, I'm doing this over an "ssh -X -C -l " because there's no gui on this Ubuntu Server 9.10 system. :-) So, ssh takes care of the X-Forwarding for me. [21:05] thevishy, first install ffmpeg sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [21:06] bit I really am not sure if the mp4 itself has subbvariants [21:06] Well the root issue is I can't seem to get JACKD to work [21:06] gme30066: If you're doing sudo virt-manager you're getting the system URI. [21:06] dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m67b9b432 [21:06] @tonyarusso - That's what the HowTo said to do on the Ubuntu pages for setting up virtualization. [21:06] thevishy, ffmpeg -i file .avi file.any format :) [21:06] beeftube: they are somewhere deep down in /usr/lib I think [21:06] ironmanerz: okay it compared and said it was the same am I okay to install now? [21:07] madagascar27, yeah if the md5 matches you should be good [21:07] All I get is a crackling sound. I'm trying to use Reaper or Ardour so I can use ASIO driver so I can eliminate latency and listen to one guitar track while laying down my lead [21:07] ironmanerz: kk thanks [21:07] LeChacal: and also /boot/grub/menu.lst, please [21:07] So far no luch [21:07] @tonyarusso - Under VirtualBox everything was running as a "vbox" user. I'm assuming things have to run as root under KVM to have access to all the devices? [21:07] luck [21:07] beeftube: the ubuntu wiki says they are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype [21:07] Fezzler: and lunch? [21:07] :) [21:08] gme30066: there are both ways. Obviously you haven't done it, so nvm. [21:08] ffmpeg has a front end ? [21:08] thevishy, no. just terminal [21:08] ohh [21:09] dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1d9d99fb [21:09] oh yeah, while i'm on xchat.. lol... : I tried to set up the old GDM style but all i get is a splash.. i uninstalled xsplash, looked on the forums and found nothing to help me get the old style GDM back(where i can edit the themes at startup) [21:09] someone told me to delete the .wine dir and that will help ??

I don't think she got the memo ;)... you're welcome [21:10] hamzaatova2: sorry, I'm really out of ideas, please ask the channel again (just type "guest user" instead of just "guest" to prevent misunderstanding [21:10] Linux audio is not for the beginner! Love Ubuntu though [21:10] dabaR: yes grub is the bootloader [21:10] bcm43 or STA wireless driver? which is best, i have both choices [21:10] LeChacal: afaict your grub has the -16 option. [21:10] LeChacal: what is this grub2 business you are talking about>? [21:10] !arista === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [21:11] LeChacal: looks like it is just grub in Ubuntu Karmic.

[21:12] dabaR: it is just grub and karmic but i dont understand how the new version of grub used with Karmic works [21:12] ubuntu isn't listening to anything in System -> Preferences -> Power Management, specifically, it's starting the screensaver while set to "Never" [21:12] any ideas? [21:12] LeChacal: you upgraded to karmic from an older version? [21:12] 9.10 [21:13] i dont trust crontab -e, I cannot get it to run cronjobs. Should I manually edit system wide /etc/crontab ? [21:13] upgraded from 9.04 [21:13] dabaR: no clean install, i installed win7 first then put on Karmic [21:13] LeChacal: hm...do you have a /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [21:14] dabaR: yes I do [21:14] pastebin that one please. [21:14] teddymills: I've never had any problems with crontab -e ... the actual crontabs are hidden away somewhere [21:14] teddymills: Your trust issues are a personal problem. The crontab modified with "crontab -e" is for the user wheres the ones under /etc are for the system. Each should be used accordingly [21:15] They're in /var/spool/cron/crontabs [21:15] epalm: I don't see a screensaver setting there, why don't you look at the screensaver options instead of PM? [21:15] < teddymills> i dont trust crontab -e, I cannot get it to run cronjobs. Should I manually edit system wide /etc/crontab ? [21:15] Was that the opening of the conversation or did I miss something? [21:15] I don't understand it, either. [21:16] hey guys, ive installed ubuntu server, i want to set up apache2 + svn+ dav [21:16] but i cant find mod_dav_svn [21:16] teddymills: I could likely help you correct your crontab entry if you show what you put there in a pastebin, or just paste here since it is one line only. [21:16] anyone got any ideas? [21:16] ive a little problem with finding alternative video hosting insted of not alternative ones - im using f spot to find alternative hosting for photos like 23 hq but i dont know which video hosting are consider alternative [21:16] dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1e96b58 [21:17] i'm having an issue on my laptop running ubuntu 9.10 [21:17] it used to suspend/hibernate and resume perfectly [21:17] whats the issue?

[21:18] How do I update the drivers? [21:18] O.o [21:18] i was wondering what i can do to figure out why it won't suspend [21:18] ok i hate helping people [21:18] Hald: you could try sudo aptitude -f install, and before you answer y to the question it asks, pastebin the output. [21:19] superdump: look into /var/log/syslog - maybe you find hints there [21:19] Yea! Finally got Hydrogen working with Jackd. Sounds awesome.

[21:21] LeChacal: OK, do you have stuff in /etc/grub.d, and what stuff do you have? Should be a linux file, please pastebin that one. [21:21] I'm trying to upgrade electricsheep. I added another source to the repos [21:21] freaky[t]_: I think grub will find it automagically if you run "sudo update-grub2" [21:21] !grub [21:21] 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. [21:22] !grub2 | freaky[t]_ [21:22] yes it worked thank you Slart :D [21:22] freaky[t]_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:22] freaky[t]_: you're welcome [21:22] LeChacal: you could try the update-grub2 too. [21:22] :-/ [21:22] I can bootup a gnome-session by first starting an xserver from the command prompt. However, Ubuntu will not boot. Does anyone know what set of files may cause this problem? [21:23] hey guys. i accidently installed some drivers by mistake. i installed the realtek alsa sound drivers for linux when infact i don't need them, it stopped my sound so i went to synaptic and reinstalled alsa etc. sound is back but how do i clean up the installed modules and remove them? when i type sudo lsmod i can still see references to Realtek in there [21:23] Hald: Betyg är 119 means score is 119? [21:23] what do you think dabaR? Should I press yes and reinstall it. Yhea, correct [21:23] And the solution seems to be to remove that sheep package? [21:23] how can I get better quality out of thoggen dvd ripper? [21:24] Ta bort följande paket: something like remove broken package? [21:24] correcct. along with the others prompted [21:24] and still keep the file around 700mb [21:24] is there a possiblity i can remove an existing partition and add it to some other partition without this other partition beeing removed or data is lost on it? [21:24] dabaR: update-grub2 isn't installed, and then inside of /etc/grub.d there are 6 script files and a README which file do you want the pastbin of? [21:24] that's why people say borked. [21:24] does anyone know where can i download docklets for gnome do? [21:24] freaky[t]_: If you are using LVM for partition management, yes. If not, no. [21:24] Hald: if I see correctly, it will not remove the packages that package broke. [21:24] i need the network docklet pretty much :S [21:24] Hald: a positive scorwe usually means good times. [21:25] gdb, im not using LVM and i dont know what partition management you mean? [21:25] * xNinja looking for a fancy .bashrc files to use...like coloring and stuff like that [21:25] LeChacal: does it offer a package which would have update-grub2? [21:25] freaky[t]_: "partition management" is the management of allocated disk paritions and unallocated empty disk space. [21:25] gdb, isnt there any program which can do that like partition magic can do under windows? [21:26] LeChacal: the linux file, on mine it is called 10_linux [21:26] so, am I the only one with firefox "g_prgname" problem? [21:26] dabaR: oh. ok... could it be flam3 package, because that one did not get upgraded? [21:26] Hald: that one is not installable, from what I can make out [21:26] freaky[t]_: GNU parted may, but I don't know for certain. It's worth looking into, however. [21:26] ok thanks [21:27] freaky[t]_: parted being Partition Editor. :-) [21:27] dabaR: electricsheep: Beroende of: flam3 (>= 2.7.13) Is not installable [21:27] dabaR: there are several packages with update-grub2 in it and here is the pastbin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3efd3160 [21:27] woops, some swewnglish :) [21:27] -w+e [21:27] meaning electricsheep depends on flam3, which is not installable [21:27] yhea [21:27] Anyone care to help me fix a failed GRUB boot loader?

I've just updated ubuntu and now i'm having some really strange problems with "bus error"s with almost all gtk applications [21:28] hello all can someone help me with my ssh server?

[21:29] hmm, I just installed matlab on my 64bit karmic system.. I installed from a mounted iso and I figured that since the install is finished I would unmount my iso.. but now it complains that it's still in use.. so I run lsof to see what is using it.. and apparently a process called dbus-daemon is using a file on the iso. dbus-daem 10123 root mem REG 7,0 163216 3402 /mnt/iso/update/bin/glnxa64/libexpat.so.1 .

[21:54] !find usb.h [21:54] File usb.h found in apcupsd-doc, doc-linux-html, doc-linux-ja-html, doc-linux-nonfree-html, hwb (and 25 others) [21:54] Show me what you come up with before you save. [21:55] Gartral: from the link you got from ubottu: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ (way down the page) [21:55] traveler_: you mean libusb-dev , right? [21:55] Slart: no [21:56] traveler_: try installing libusb-dev and see if it works then [21:56] Hi all ... I've got a problem with X on my laptop. Tried to get 2 heads working -> fail. Now I just want it back working as b4. I put the original /etc/X11/xorg.conf file back in place but can now only start X as root. [21:56] If I make some modifications to ubuntu server edition to my liking, how can I create a new ubuntu server install disc that has my config on it instead of installing the default ubuntu server. [21:56] NO errors in log file [21:56] just fails [21:57] LeChacal: Here is the summary of how I understand the situation: grub somehow uses the grub.cfg file instead of menu.lst, but your update-grub updates the menu.lst file instaed of the grub.cfg file. [21:57] ~.Xauthority files deleted before trying, btw ... so that's not the prob [21:57] QAH: there are some tools to create customized install discs.. and right now I can't remember the name of any of them =/ [21:57] Slart: Oh ok [21:57] Slart: what are angels like you doing in a webchat? [21:57] could this be a problem with the config file? [21:58] traveler_: avoiding work.. aren't we all? =) [21:58] Slart: BIG thanks, u helped me alot [21:58] traveler_: you're welcome [21:58] Here is another question. How can I do an unattended install of ubuntu server (if possible)? [21:59] QAH: have a look at a tool called remastersys.. I'm not sure if it's up to date and so on..you'll have to check that yourself [21:59] how do i turn off gnome-panel? [21:59] this was in my log file /etc/log/auth.log WARNING: /etc/ssh/moduli does not exist, using fixed modulus [21:59] !automate | QAH [21:59] QAH: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [21:59] just for this session i mean [21:59] Thanks a lot guys. [21:59] could that be anything [21:59] dabaR: i just remember that right after my install of 9.10 i was having fan problems and added "# kopt=root=UUID=xxXXX ro acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to my "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file and then did "sudo grub-update" but now i dont see that in any of my menu.lst file or its basckup. I wonder if when i did that it changed something. [21:59] !who | irc_newb [21:59] irc_newb: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:00] Alacard: Is there a list of boot configuration files and the order in which they are run on a default Ubuntu 9.10 install? [22:00] is there a download manager in linux like there is for windows - the one in windows i had would download from multiple sources at once - thus increasing speed (download accelerator) [22:00] sorry [22:00] Is there a list of boot configuration files and the order in which they are run on a default Ubuntu 9.10 install? [22:00] hey guys does anyone know how to make synaptic or update manager use aptitude instead of apt-get?.. [22:00] irc_newb: no, thats is no problem - look for "pubkey" maybe [22:00] LeChacal: that does not ring any bells here. Are you gonna manually edit grub.cfg? [22:00] michael____, multiget ( sudo aptitude install multiget ) [22:00] michael___, multiget ( sudo aptitude install multiget ) [22:01] thanks nell [22:01] michael___: I'm not sure if there's anything of the same caliber.. we get this question every now and then and I haven't seen a really good answer to it. There are some simpler download managers.. some work as plugins in firefox.. some stand alone [22:01] dabaR: yea now i am going to just manually edit grub.cfg and see what that changes. === ece is now known as hellyeah [22:01] !guntbert i see something about the pubkey but there's no error [22:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:02] nellmathew: apt-get / aptitude is just a front-end to dpkg, I believe. [22:02] Slart: This remastersys thing is wonderful! But since it makes a live cd, how do I install that live cd? [22:02] QAH: I'm not really sure.. I haven't used it myself.. but the normal desktop install cd's are live cd's as well.. perhaps it's the same thing with this [22:02] Slart: The best download manager is wget, perhaps GUI wget? :) [22:02] Slart: Ok, but I will be using the server edition which has no desktop. [22:02] Hi, I can't seem to find/remember keyboard shortcut to fall back to shell, anyone know? [22:03] Slart: So do you know how to install ubuntu manually? [22:03] what could be causing sda4 to be detected as (hd0,0) in grub? [22:03] mobi-sheep: isn't it called gwget? =) [22:03] QAH: remastersys creates a desktop launcher named Install Custom Live that will do what you need [22:03] QAH: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:03] QAH: ouch.. no, I have no idea, sorry [22:03] soio: Oh ok. So it automatically puts a desktop on the live cd? [22:03] Hi, is there an EASY way to move about 50 large files between two ubuntu linux computers that are sitting next to each other and connected by a router? or a hub i have a hub also. [22:04] QAH: It reproduces the same system you started from [22:04] D9: sshfs if you have ssh setup.. or nfs.. or ftp.. [22:04] D9: Nautilus have that "Connect To Server" feature. Ensure both machines have ssh installed. [22:04] D9: samba would work too.. although if both are linux systems that's a bit weird [22:04] soio: Ok, so since I am going to be using the server edition and I don't plan to put a desktop environment on there, I guess it will be harder to install. [22:04] irc_newb: try from the end of the file towards the beginning (or you just try to ssh in *now* and look at the log file afterwards) (again from the end) [22:05] slart, samba is terrible [22:05] Hi guys! how can i know the version of my wireless drivers and update them? [22:05] Slart: I discovered about samba4 recently! [22:05] D9: theres also rsync [22:05] D9: yes.. but it works.. kind of.. sometimes at least =) [22:05] Hello, I have this strange problem ... don't know if anyone else has had it, but whenever I try to open a secondary hard drive attached to my computer via Places or double clicking the desktop drive all my desktop icons dissapear. Trying to access it again after that from Places doesn't respond, it looks like its loading but nothing happens. Any ideas? I know thi is pretty vague ... [22:05] Anyone know shortcut to drop gui and go to shell screen? [22:05] how to I keep the metadata with mp3 files when I convert them to a lower bitrate in winff? [22:05] mobi-sheep: samba4? new version? [22:06] datz: dont want to try 'sudo service gdm stop' ? [22:06] D9, you might as well get ssh set up. Then sshfs is easy. [22:06] guntbert: can i paste a piece of it? [22:06] Slart: I don't know. I haven't messed around with it but from the looks of it, it's for *nix. [22:06] datz: Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, F3 and so on [22:06] datz: Alt+F7 to get back [22:06] humm [22:06] QAH: I just made my modifications starting from desktop edition installed in a virtual machine, and after that I used remastersys and now I have the file customdist.iso in which I get all my modifications. I used this iso to create a usb installation, but you're free to install it like it's a new iso ...

[22:07] D9 is there an easy way for a non computer expert. A windows user. someone who is unfamiliar with the command line. Some one who has been messign around with samba for 3 days because i was told it is easy and could work between two linux systems. EASY EASY, I am not a linux professional and do not want to be. I just need to move some data files from one system to another. [22:07] Ok thanks for the help guys [22:07] thanks Slart [22:07] I am going to try everything [22:07] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic70cVN5IdQ [22:07] Bye [22:07] mobi-sheep: hmm... well.. I think I'll stick to nfs for now.. perhaps in Ubuntu 14.04 Asthmatic Aardwaark =) [22:07] is there a shortcut key for launching a terminal? [22:07] datz: you're welcome [22:08] hey guys what is better install from synaptic or install a .deb package? [22:08] guntbert: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d45bab1ab [22:08] mordof: Alt+F2 will get you a run-dialog.. I don't think there is a shortcut to start a terminal directly [22:08] D9 how 'bout rsync? [22:08] jimcooncat: can that be done in a gui? [22:08] mdt: you'll have to look into the logs /var/log/Xorg..... [22:08] hey guys what is better (recomended) install from synaptic or install a .deb package? [22:08] mordof: I use Gnome-Do -- I bring it up and type "terminal' [22:08] mordof: you could of course create one in the compiz configuration thingy [22:08] mordof: you Can make one if you are using compiz fairly easially.. or i recall normal gnome has a way to do it also [22:08] Slart: k, ty. disabling gnome-panel.. just trying to make sure i can still access stuff [22:08] mdt, i have no idea, I dont know what that is or how easy it is. [22:08] compiz is disabled [22:08] guntbert: no errors at all in the logs :( [22:08] frankely: synaptic with the standard repos would be the easiest, I think [22:08] Slart: know about adjusting shell text size at all? [22:09] D9 -- I'm not sure, you could try installing openssh-server from synaptic [22:09] im gonna install oracle 10g, what will be the best way? [22:09] mordof: I'm not sure if Alt+F2 depends on the gnome-panel.. [22:09] D9: try man rsync from a terminal window ... there are some examples in the man file ... it's very easy [22:09] Can anyone help with the following error with apt-get update in a new karmic install? W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [22:09] mdt does that requier a sever? [22:10] datz: mm.. with the old grub you added a resolution code.. something like VGA=81 (the codes are available on the net).. but with the new grub I'm not sure any more.. there's probably a way to change it somewhere [22:10] Grub2 has a way yiou can change the initial screen 'res' see the files /etc/default/grub I belive [22:10] i'm afraid to mess with grub.. at least grub2 anyways.. its fragile [22:11] Slart: ok, I'm on old grub here [22:11] slart will ssh allow me to see both drives in the file manager? [22:11] D9: if the 2 boxes are both on the same LAN (ie connected via a router as you say) then no ... peer to peer === hashbrowncipher_ is now known as karmafraught [22:11] D9: sshfs lets you 'mount' the remote machine via ssh to a local directory. === larswey_ is now known as larswey [22:11] irc_newb: what I see: are you working as root (with a different name)? [22:12] http://omploader.org/vMzJleg | :D:D:D:D finally got it to work [22:12] D9: sshfs will let you mount a remote folder on your own filesystem.. so you see something like /media/removedrive that contains all the files from the remote computer [22:12] D9: then you can use nautilus as normal [22:12] Ummm How do I find out what Graphics Card I have? [22:12] guntbert: i am using "tristan" [22:12] I just got emailed a .pmd file, which is Adobe Pagemaker. Anybody know anything that can open that? [22:12] Ubuntu_User: lshw -C display might work [22:12] slart, so I have to use the terminal to set it up? [22:12] irc_newb: that is when you log in locally too? [22:12] hey guys anyone know how to find out the "recommends" of a package? not the missing recommends, just the ones that might be offered alongside a package (the package is already installed btw, i want to know what recommends were installed alongside). [22:13] how do you mount a folder from your local machine so that it can be seen over a mixed(linux/windows) network? [22:13] guntbert: yes [22:13] karma_police: you 'share' a directory or some how create a share. that the other machines then can access [22:13] !samba | karma_police [22:13] karma_police: Samba (windows networking) is best for that. [22:13] karma_police: 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. [22:13] D9: that's the way I did it the last time.. there might be a gui way .. perhaps some kind of "connect to another computer"-wizard somewhere [22:13] thanks Dr_Willis [22:13] thanks slart... [22:14] D9: you're welcome [22:14] will give it a try [22:14] D9: the gnome connect-to-server wizard uses sftp i think. sshfs is similer in how it works [22:14] the folder i am wanting to share is about 500gb. is that still logical using samba? [22:14] I believe I have a problem with gdmsetup [22:14] Does anyone have experience with this file? [22:14] irc_newb: you last line was probably directed at dabaR [22:14] karma_police: size dosent matter. [22:14] cool [22:15] Ok... [22:15] irc_newb: did you try with just a username and password instead of keys? [22:15] oh whoops [22:15] Dr_Willis: is that what they tell you? [22:15] not yet.. [22:15] is there a samba gui yet? or is it all still command based? [22:15] irc_newb: sounds like a problem with the key almost. [22:15] But anyway, try that if you run out of ideas. [22:15] karma_police: the gui'd ive seen are rather annoying.. and 'swat' has been a gui for it for years.. [22:15] dabaR: i'll try that now...

[22:19] D9: thats because they are cli tools. [22:19] can I get root on bunt server? [22:19] mdt: well, that sounds like the kind of thing that would be caused by permissions, don't you think?

[22:21] merry xmas all btw [22:21] how do I configure my graphics...do I need to download a driver or can python do it? [22:21] Heh [22:21] dabaR: absolutely ... I just can't find anything wrong with the permissions :( [22:21] brody_: if you just did a clean install of 9.10 - you are using grub2. not grub1. there is no need for a menu.lst with grub2 [22:21] hello [22:21] mdt: there may be more things than just that .XAuthority [22:21] like .gdm [22:21] or something like that. [22:21] guys, do I get root on server installation? [22:22] dabaR - thanks, i'll check that out [22:22] da65: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:22] used deb for years [22:22] da65: login as your admin user and use 'sudo' properly [22:22] i did a clean install not too long ago and it didn't prompt to update grub2 till i ran the updates [22:22] Dr_Willis- i guess this is grub2, but it's still cluttered with other versions [22:22] but do I get root? [22:22] a clean install would install grub2.... [22:22] dabaR: when i setup up the server, i set it to automatically encrypt my home dir, could that be why? it can't compare the keys because they;re encrypted?

And I would expect some errors in the logs indicating such. [22:23] chun: what is the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list? put it on pastebin, please. [22:23] mdt: do you have gdm installed? [22:24] ummm did I ask a stupid question? [22:24] Ubuntu_User: what exact graphics are you talking about? [22:24] Dr_Willis: i know that, and ill just have to remake the grub.cfg file if i havent found a solution by the next time a new kernel patch comes out' [22:24] Ubuntu_User: not so much stupid as unclear. [22:24] anybody know why amarok2 can't play mp2s? [22:24] overall better graphics...flip...buffering...the works [22:24] Ubuntu_User: perhaps you didn't give us all the details .. what version of ubuntu.. what graphics card? [22:25] when i did a fresh install it prompted some grub2 menu and asked if i wanted to use grub or grub2. i know it was a fresh install also.. maybe it was just an update to grub2 [22:25] pteague: maybe your speakers not plugged in [22:25] Dr_Willis: looks like they won't on his system...his update-grub is the old version that overwrites menu.lst, and yet his grub reads grub.cfg [22:25] Dr_Willis: seen that before? [22:25] Ubuntu 9.10 I don't have a graphics driver for my intel card...I'm relying on python [22:25] pteague: can you play mp2's with totem? or any other media player? [22:25] Slart, I appreciate the help, but is there anything simple like in windows... that takes like 3 minutes. [22:25] dabaR: only when someone does somtning odd like instgalls grub1 some how. [22:25] Ubuntu_User: python? .. now I'm confused.. how does python help? [22:25] is bunt server ok for webserving? [22:25] dabaR: yeah (either that or Xdm ... whatever the Xubuntu default is) [22:26] mdt: does that start? [22:26] the login screen [22:26] da65: no, mp2s don't show up in playlist... amarok 1.4 played mp2s just fine, amarok2 doesn't seem to know what they are [22:26] Dr_Willis - alright, thank you, I appreciate it [22:26] da65: great. [22:26] dabaR: when i setup up the server, i set it to automatically encrypt my home dir, could that be why? it can't compare the keys because they;re encrypted? [22:26] D9: not that I know of, sorry [22:26] dabaR: ty [22:26] well it lets me play some games and look at stuff...but is python enough? [22:26] irc_newb: could be, I suppose. [22:26] Do I need a driver for my graphics chip? [22:26] pteague: make sure you have all the requires [22:26] dabaR: yes ... but when i try to log on as my regular user, it just goes back to the display manager logon screen after blanking for a few secs [22:26] i made the mistake of trying to install win7 after ubuntu.. ofcourse my grub was deleted.. then when i re dl it it wouldn't recognize the win7 [22:26] Slart: just uninstalled amarok14 today to try amarok2 again... amarok14 plays mp2 just fine [22:26] dabaR: so how would i fix that? [22:27] mdt: so it is not X that is not starting, but rather you can't log in. [22:27] X has to start for the login screen to show up. [22:27] da65: wouldn't aptitude/apt-get install all the requires or complain? [22:27] pteague: it's probably a problem with whatever back end engine amarok uses [22:27] dabaR: hmmm... lemme think about that [22:27] irc_newb: It is beyond my experience. [22:27] crap, deb etch ends soon and I have to change os on my servers [22:27] mdt: that sounds like X crashing.. it restarts and you end up at the login prompt again [22:28] Slart: yup that's what I think [22:28] mdt: what are the permissions and ownership like on .dmrc? [22:28] leeny does not work with Plask [22:28] lenny [22:28] dabaR: sec [22:28] dabaR: ty for the insight, ill surf a little [22:28] dabaR: sry in middle of a reboot atm [22:28] i love firefox but it seems to be luggy lately. i don't know if its flash issues or what. What browsers do u all recommend? [22:28] da65: this is the ubuntu support channel.. there is an offtopic channel for other stuff, #ubuntu-offtopic [22:28] da65: maybe #ubuntu-server is the channel for you? [22:28] pteague: no, some r special Ithink [22:29] guntbert: ty [22:29] Still not clear? [22:29] whats the safest way to set up a Wifi router so none can see it but me?

[22:31] VirusTB: password protect your router/SSID and hide the ssid [22:31] Is my problem unanswerable or something? [22:31] is there a lap link program for linux? [22:31] Dr_Willis<< so whats the SSID ? [22:31] D9: a crossover cable (network cable) can normally work [22:31] http://pastebin.com/m7ad57edf the lines between 166208-166218 kernel uptime are when i echo -n 3 to /proc/acpi/sleep and the lines that follow are when i select suspend from the menu in karmic [22:31] VirusTB: get a router what does some good encryption.. use a good password/passphrase.. then it won't matter if it doesn't advertise itself [22:31] Ubuntu_User: sry ... what was the Q? [22:31] dabaR: I decide twice *not* to report him as troll [22:31] VirusTB: time to read up and learn about wireelss.. thates the 'network name' [22:31] !wireless [22:31] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:31] *decided [22:32] Dr_Willis: that is the physical connection, what about the software to make it work? [22:32] D9: ssh can transfer, or other ways.. no need for special softare [22:32] Dr_Willis<< sorry I know what SSid is (the name you see when you scan for wifi access points) [22:32] ewook: How can I configure the settings in Ubuntu, similarly as in Archlinux, just /etc/rc.conf? grawity: [22:32] Is python enough or do I need the Driver for my Chip? [22:32] Dr_Willis<< but if I hide it/ how will my PC connect to it? [22:32] it seems like suspend from the menu isn't issuing the right signals or something [22:33] Dr_Willis: I looked at the directions... it is very complex for someone that does not know linux, and has never used the terminal. [22:33] Slart<< Well I just got a old crappy $20 wifi router :S [22:33] alright, if anyone wants to help a noobie w/ an install, I would greatly appreciate it [22:33] Alacard<< whats you installing [22:33] Hi all , suddenly im not able to see all the high resultions in Preferences->Display. i just see a grey rectangle that covers them. i plugged my laptop to with hdmi to LG screen and played with the resultions to see what is best and suddenly i can see only low resolutions. can tyou help? thanks [22:33] you have to specify [22:33] chun: your problem is likely temporary. [22:33] 8.04.3, I have 2 phystical drives [22:34] VirusTB: ouch.. hiding your SSID won't help you much then.. it's like locking your door with piece of string and then remove the name plate on the door.. [22:34] hi, i need some help on setting jabber server on ubuntu [22:34] I installed unattended-upgrades as documented in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html [22:34] I am putting / on one and /home on the other, GRUB begins to load then errors out [22:34] Ummm Can Python completely take the place of a Graphics Driver or do you still need a Graphics driver? [22:35] chun: although I am not experiencing it. [22:35] Ubuntu_User: no, yes [22:35] chun: try again. [22:35] Dr_Willis: ubuntu looks so good, I am shocked there is not a GUI for this kind of thing. I know you linux guys love the technical stuff, but if your going to put out a great program like ubuntu, that is basically an excellent point and click os, why not finish the job. I guess there will be more GUI's for all the tools in a few years. [22:35] but it's not automatically installing packages [22:35] Dr_Willis<< ok question wheny I plug my LAN cable in I always get two options "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet" [22:35] Ubuntu_User: You are not ignored... I suspect you will need a driver, but Can't say I'm familiar with a Python driver [22:35] Slart<< I think its WEP :S should I get a router that WPA2 ?? or WPA ??? [22:35] D9: they are adding gui stuff for all kinds of stuff.. but lately it seems they are focusing more on having spinning cubes and animated backgrounds [22:36] dabaR: no luck. Been trying for the past 2 days, and it works fine on my laptop. Just not on this machine... [22:36] VirusTB: yes.. WEP will take minutes to crack with a modern computer [22:36] 2 physical drives, one has / & swap while other has /home, any thoughts? Errors on grub [22:36] Hi all , suddenly im not able to see all the high resultions in Preferences->Display. i just see a grey rectangle that covers them. i plugged my laptop to with hdmi to LG screen and played with the resultions to see what is best and suddenly i can see only low resolutions. can tyou help? thanks [22:36] dabaR: I've been thinking about what u said re: logging on -vs- starting server. I think the problem is that a non-root user cannot start X. gdm is run with root priv's is it not? [22:36] Slart... LOL yea, thats all cool, but Give me the functionality. [22:37] D9: =) [22:37] slart ok question wheny I plug my LAN cable in I always get two options "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet" [22:37] Hello i'm from Italy [22:38] Frizzix<< hello Im from Africa :P [22:38] Ummm isn't Python there by default when you install ubuntu? [22:38] may i use web cam on my asus eee pc 1000 with xubuntu [22:38] ????????? [22:38] VirusTB: hmm..I only get auto eth0.. not sure what auto ethernet is about [22:38] Isn't Python there by default when you install ubuntu? [22:38] Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system. Any thoughts? [22:39] Does anybody have any idea why I have to go to Preferences -> NVIDIA X Server Settings every time I restart my computer to refresh my overscan settings? [22:39] @ when I plug my LAN cable in I always get two options "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet" [22:39] Ubuntu_User: Python is a programming language. A python interpreter is installed by default when u install ubuntu. [22:39] It is getting annoying. Actually the overscan issue as a whole is annoying. How do I fix this without using overscan compensation? [22:39] Maletor: use gksudo nvidia-settings apply your changes and that should work [22:39] Ubuntu_User: Python seems to be necessary, yes. === Chuvaca is now known as |StOnE| [22:40] teach me python [22:40] Slart<< question... when you plug in a LAN cable and you get a green light , that means it has internet cnnectivity right?? [22:40] how do i unbind/unmount a directory? [22:40] VirusTB: the green light on the network card itself? [22:41] VirusTB: it means you have connectivity to whatever the other side of the cable is plugged in [22:41] YouMust: umount [22:41] Slart<< I just moved into a new student room, and I see a ethernet cable, anbd pluggged it itn, but no signs of connecttity [22:41] YouMust: see man umount for details [22:41] dtownhero<< thnks [22:41] VirusTB: I think that just means your cable is connected properly.. I doubt it checks anything more sophisticated than that [22:41] mdt: thx doh xD [22:41] dtownhero, ok i did that. It seemed to have just launched the NVIDIA X Server Settings GUI [22:41] Maletor: yes, this will allow you to apply the changes as root, then reboot and it should have kept the settings. [22:42] greetings ppl :) , i have a question for you guys you have locations where u can add various places.. so.. i added my whole music list accidentaly.. and i can just remove them seperatly .. and its alot of music..:/ how can i delete the list in the mass ? Shift button doesnt work [22:42] Slart<< thanks got the answer from dtownhero :P I guess I need to check where the cable leads to and what its connected to [22:42] dtownhero, thank you [22:42] np [22:43] what room helps me learn code === switchgirl is now known as snowgirl [22:43] dtownhero, that did not work [22:44] Maletor: ok, let's take a step back then. What is overscanning and why do you have to keep doing it? [22:44] dabaR: Maybe not ... perhaps the server starts OK, then crashes when trying to authenticate a non-root client. If it crashes bad enough maybe it dies before it can log anything. [22:45] Slart<< 128 bit passprase is 10 characters right? [22:45] hello!i have installed ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on my eeepc 900. i found an annoying bug: when i shift to terminal (ctrl+alt+f[1-6]) and return again on X, keyboard doesn't work anymore. how can i suggest this bug to developers?is it a know bug?thank you [22:46] Ok...But I can't configure graphics unless I get a Driver? [22:46] someone have an idea for my problem? [22:46] VirusTB: ahm.. I would guess something like 8 bits per character.. but I'm not sure you can count like that [22:46] Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system. Any thoughts? [22:47] overscanning is when i plug my computer into my vizio 37" a border of about 100px is blocked out from visible [22:47] Slart<< ok hold up, I got a little issue connecting with my ubuntu wifi... on this PC the wifi connnects( this pc is windows) [22:47] so i can't see task bar etc. [22:47] Slart<< whats LEAP /Dynmic WEP ? [22:48] Maletor: ahh it sounds like your monitor has a video resolution that your card is not supporting? === Witch-King-VT is now known as WereTheWorldMine [22:48] perhaps that is why you need it, when you saved the changes in the gksudo nvidia-settings can you see them writing to xorg.conf? [22:48] Ubuntu_User, do you know what graphics card , if not , lspci | grep VGA [22:48] sort of..... i mean it's a vx37l [22:49] it should be able to handle it... [22:49] I'm trying to setup my own repo, and for some reason apt-ftparchive generate /etc/apt/apt-ftparchive.conf is saying i have a corrupt package (which it's not) must be a checkup error somewhere, any ideas where to start on something like this? [22:49] how do i unfreeze cairo-dock? [22:49] depends on the video card honestly [22:49] erm checksum [22:49] VirusTB: I have no idea.. you might want to look that up on wikipedia or similar [22:49] here is what you'll want to do [22:49] hey anyone who uses aptitude and has done a minimal iso / netinst : should sudo aptitude keep-all be my very first command on a bare system? or does it not matter? [22:50] all animation has seised and when I try to add xchat app from gnome menu, it doesn't add it. i know i can pgrep cairo-dock, kill it, then restart it but hoping for smoother solution [22:50] Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system. Any thoughts? [22:50] nellmathew, aptitude is broken atm , use apt-get instead [22:50] BluesKaj, thanks [22:50] kikio@hotmail.com [22:50] Maletor: do this, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.txt [22:51] the txt file will be your base to see if changes are taking place [22:51] how do I delet an WIFI that I created :S [22:51] then run the gksudo nvidia-settings again [22:51] save and apply your changes to xorg.conf [22:51] I turned my ubuntu laptop Wifi into a access point( so my iphone cant connect to the internet) how do I remove this Wifi access pointi created ? [22:51] go back and compare the two files line by line and make sure the changes took place, in theory anything you do with gksudo nvidia-settings should write to the file, but you may have to delete it if they are not changing [22:52] does that make sense? [22:52] n/m found it [22:52] hopefully it does because I'm getting ready to head out [22:53] any one know how to get into control panel for chrome os [22:54] depending on xorg to save your settings is iffy , dtownhero the kernel source driver is more important [22:54] dtownhero, they are exactly the same [22:55] however, the xorg.conf file does not mention anything about overscan compensation [22:56] firefox is segment faulting and yes I tryed reinstalling [22:56] Maletor, make sure you have the correct driver installed for your graphics card. [22:56] BluesKaj, i'm positive - i just updated to the latest yesterday [22:56] it's version 190.53 for my nvidia 9 series (9800gtx+) [22:57] Maletor: I think your best bet then is backing up xorg.conf to xorg.conf.back [22:57] and then deleting it [22:57] deleting xorg.conf [22:57] Can someone help me fix the boot up screen to the default Ubuntu one? I installed Kubuntu desktop and my boot up splash screen changed also [22:57] i already have a file called xorg.conf.backup [22:57] then running gksudo nvidia-settings again [22:57] Maletor, are you running a large fancy screen ? [22:57] BluesKaj, it's a vizio 37" vx37l [22:57] i am running nvidia 185.18.36 with a nvidia 6200, i have extra composting enabled and my cairo-dock keeps freezing. is there anything in my xorg.conf i should have to make cairo-dock run smoother [22:58] firefox is segment faulting and yes I tryed reinstalling [22:59] IS THERE away ro encrypt the data my browser uses ( im on a public wifi network and I want to do some bank transactions) ?? [22:59] Maletor, try this in the terminal , nvidia-xconfig [23:00] anybody has experience with bluetooth & hci devices ? [23:00] running gksudo nvidia-settings did not replace my xorg.conf [23:00] should i cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? [23:00] hciconfig hci0 up doesn't get it up [23:01] Maletor, run, sudo nvidia-config or something like that [23:01] Maletor, not necessary [23:01] Maletor, nevermind, wasn't sure what you were trying [23:01] Frohe Weihnachten! [23:01] what's the init.d to restart X [23:01] so i don't have to restart [23:02] Maletor: if you're using gdm .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:02] IS THERE away ro encrypt the data my browser uses ( im on a public wifi network and I want to do some bank transactions) ??

Any thoughts? [23:03] but! as soon as i go to prefs -> nvidia x server settings it fixes things and i don't have to touch anything [23:03] Can someone help me fix the boot up screen to the default Ubuntu one? I installed Kubuntu desktop alongside Gnome and my boot up splash screen changed to Kubuntu rather then leaving the Ubuntu splash screen in place [23:03] because 1 have 2 ethernet cards an if i conect the lan card i can't have internet in the server or in the lan [23:03] it's as if overscan compensation isn't being written anywhere [23:03] ok.....

[23:12] tsoporan1: is it an internal drive or a USB drive? What format is it? [23:12] cellofellow: Its a Western Digital 1TB drive, internal, EXT4 [23:12] It's been working fine until about 3 days ago. [23:12] how do I stop nm-applet from asking for my password every time I log in!? [23:13] tsoporan1: probably better to mount it with /etc/fstab than with the gnome volume manager. [23:13] it is doing my head in [23:13] cellofellow: it is mounted by fstab [23:13] tsoporan1: oh === WereTheWorldMine is now known as PapaNoel [23:13] cellofellow: my entry is: /dev/sdb1 /media/Secondary ext4 defaults 0 2 -- I think that is right? It's been a while. [23:13] VirusTB: Okay. If it is using https, then everything will be encrypted. The other side of the party have a certificate. Also, I don't know about Facebook. [23:14] tsoporan1: you could run nautilus from the command line (first kill it with pkill) . [23:14] tsoporan1: your fstab is good, nautilus is being a bother though. [23:14] cellofellow: opening it from nautilus just prints out "Segmentation Fault" [23:15] tsoporan1: installed any nautilus extensions lately? [23:15] Haven't touched anything, just periodic updates. :/ [23:15] :/ [23:15] Actually just before it says seg fault it sas "intializing nautilus-gdu extension" [23:15] I am running Ubuntu 8.04.3 & it won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system. Any thoughts would be appreciated [23:15] Segmentation faults aren't fun. [23:16] uhm question.. does BlackBerry pin require your phone to have internet (3g) ??

[23:18] Zeelot: you have comcast? [23:18] no [23:18] dsl here at work [23:18] not sure what it is [23:18] Zeelot: Could be the DNS or you have too many Firefox extensions (firefox-bugs) [23:19] I'm using chrome [23:19] DNS resolving is /etc/resolv.conf, doesn't have much to do with your interfaces.

I'm not sure [23:20] nellmathew: add-apt-repository [23:20] I never edited anything [23:20] thanks mobi-sheep! [23:21] Zeelot: do you use network manager or ifupdown?

So, it's a dynamic IP address? [23:21] yea it's a cheap router in the office [23:22] the dsl line is a static IP though [23:22] Zeelot: cheap router might be overloaded.

[23:26] hmm [23:26] sync3times, http://pastebay.com/78275 [23:26] Zeelot: the router seems to be misconfigured to give 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1. [23:26] Thats the error I get when running that command [23:26] Zeelot, but you can change it and the results are in realtime without rebooting [23:26] It was run as root by the way. [23:26] alright I will try [23:26] thanks [23:27] cellofellow: Depends on the router. Some router are 192.168.1.1 -- The others are 192.168.0.1 [23:27] Zeelot: so what happens is your system waits for 192.168.0.1 to time out before going to the backup internet server. [23:27] When I try to format my 250gb harddrive as NTFS i get an error: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process mkntfs no such file or directory [23:27] mobi-sheep: he said it should be 1.1 [23:27] cellofellow: Oh I didn't see that. [23:28] aliendude5300, its becuase you are already running X. can you boot up just to text mode? [23:28] I'll try, do I have to do a full reboot, or can I kill X with Alt-SysRq-K? === [1]NeuroFuzzy is now known as NeuroFuzzy [23:29] aliendude5300, dunno. on fedora i would tell you to just type init 3, but ubuntu has different runlevels [23:29] aliendude5300: switch runlevels and kill X [23:29] which sucks by the way [23:30] When I try to format my 250gb harddrive as NTFS from disk utility, I get an error: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process mkntfs no such file or directory [23:30] sync3times: true [23:30] aliendude5300, find the right driver for your ati card , then do this: http://pastebin.ca/1725422 [23:30] hi everybody [23:30] I need help\ [23:30] i have a question about perl language [23:30] ?

[23:31] i am having a sound issue, sounds works fine in rhythmbox and movie player, but i can not get it to work in audacious or xm player anyone know why that would be? [23:31] sepidev: #perl [23:32] do know about perl6, is it a scripting language like its predec... or it is going to be a compiled language [23:32] sepidev, dunno [23:32] thanx ... [23:33] sepidev: #perl its like python, using an interpreter === DaZ is now known as duh`sfjont [23:34] i know. but there is a uncomplete version of perl that is going to change it in various aspcets. [23:34] i mean version 6 [23:34] sepidev: #perl [23:34] perl 6 [23:34] sepidev, what do you do with perl that you are so ... committed to it if I may ask [23:35] i want to embed it in my c++ apps. [23:35] sepidev, gah [23:35] ptew [23:35] toooy [23:36] sepidev, good luck with that [23:36] it is the link for perl 6 site: http://www.perl6.org/compilers/ [23:37] what kernel module do i need to be able to use a hauppauge pvr-150 IR Blaster?

Cool! [23:39] no,no. i mean font rendering in my ubu9.10 is ugly [23:40] but is was great when i used ubu9.04 [23:40] how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? [23:40] sepidev, maybe its falling back to default fonts. Maybe you dont have the ones you need installed? [23:40] When my system gets a shutdown message (For example to shutdown in X seconds) how can Ubuntu alert me when I am logged into a GNOME session? [23:40] how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? <, guifications ** [23:40] so, what should i do? [23:40] I am running Ubuntu 8.04.3 & it won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system. Any thoughts would be appreciated [23:40] VirusTB: ##windows [23:41] sync ..., do u know the solution? [23:41] I configured this computer running Ubuntu to auto mount a 2nd internal hard drive. I see in /etc/fstab that the line for the second hard drive does not have UUID= information associated with it. I am assuming not having this information is why in the desktop gui environment I am unable to access the drive via gui (e.g. in Computer file browser). Would specifying the UUID value make this available in gui? If so, how can I determin [23:41] e or find the UUID value for the particular hard drive device? [23:42] !uuid [23:42] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:42] urggggg.... [23:42] somebodyelse, But its mounted and you can see it in the output of the mount command? [23:43] hey sync... can you give me a hint about that [23:43] ? [23:44] some brazilian here?? [23:44] sepidev, Its hard. What application looks bad, what font are you trying to use. If its firefox, you may not know what font its trying to use.... its a hard question to work on remotely [23:45] ok ,.... [23:45] how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? <, guifications ** === eboyjr is now known as e === e is now known as ebyjr [23:45] it is a global problem [23:45] i mean all fonts look bad [23:46] sync3times, I would like to confirm something. `blkid` indicates a partition is ext3, but I am able to mount it successfully as ext4. This is not my computer, but I believe the partition is ext4. Is `blkid` simply not showing ext4 because it doesn't know or did it calculate the partition to be ext3? [23:46] most particularly when i use firefox [23:46] but my desktop looks bad too [23:46] i changed the font, but to success [23:47] somebodyelse, blkid is new for me. I asked if your drive was mounted, and you did not answer [23:47] sepidev: gnome-look.org (but beware of the malware on that site) [23:47] malware ...? [23:48] yup [23:48] read the scripts, check the deb files before installing [23:48] ok [23:48] how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? <, guifications ** [23:48] sync3times, Yes, I can see the output of the 2nd drive from `mount` [23:48] better yet, avoid the deb files [23:48] i'll do it [23:48] some brazilian here?? [23:49] is there any issue with deb files? [23:49] BlueDog: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:49] somebodyelse, But it does not show up in the gui? [23:49] sync3times, It does not show up in gui [23:49] How can I print text and graphics from a program? [23:49] sepidevl: a few days ago it was discovered that a deb file on gnome-look containted malware for Ubuntu [23:49] Guys I have a problem, when I came home today my wifi suddenly became unavailable [23:49] loads of people were infected [23:50] Network Manager says Wireless is disabled [23:50] sync3times, http://pastebin.com/de2b0e0c /dev/sdb is 2nd hard drive [23:50] oh. [23:50] with no rhyme or reason why it should be, since it was just working at my workplace [23:50] [rw]: ok.. only wld like support in portuguese [23:50] what if i use a virus scanner? [23:50] !print [23:50] 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 [23:50] would it work? [23:50] sepidev: I doubt it [23:50] What would cause my wireless to become unavailable? [23:51] somebodyelse, does anything get listed in that blkid command? [23:51] so lets dismiss it [23:51] what's cups? [23:51] sync3times, yep http://pastebin.com/d182e6b7c [23:51] aintaer: check if the wifi switch on the laptop isn't turned off, my god I had that happen before and spend hours trying to trouble shoot [23:51] ipatrol: printing software [23:51] I did several times, rw [23:51] The wifi switch is on [23:51] hmm, maybe it is an issue with ext3/ext4 [23:51] I rebooted and checked the bios [23:51] i've never ever dreamed of malware in linux? [23:52] the bios said the wifi is enabled [23:52] rw: elaborate/link? [23:52] somebodyelse, so why dont you put the UUID into fstab and see if it will mount that way [23:52] sync3times, I did [23:52] sepidev: it's not that hard. When you install a deb file you give it root access. If the guy who made the deb file put nasty code in it, you're screwed [23:52] sync3times, I then unmounted and remounted it successfully and still nada [23:52] i have a text file that is one line, 1000003 characters. How can I insert an every (n)th character? [23:52] somebodyelse, reboot after the change? [23:53] ipartol: google [23:53] sync3times, O_O reboot? Are you sure? [23:53] Is there a successor to xfontsel that I should be using? [23:53] hi guys, please, could anybody type ctrl-s ls in terminal? it's supposed to run forward-i-search but it doesn't. ctrl-r works though, idk why but this happened me at any linux computer i tried [23:53] I am dealing with the touchpad problem with eeepc's. I have SHM config to true, and gsynaptics installed. The touchpad works in the prefs. But, when I do sudo gsynaptics in terminal [23:53] :( [23:53] ** (gsynaptics:5027): WARNING **: Using synclient [23:53] comes up [23:53] somebodyelse, no. But if it mounts correctly with a mount -a command, then you should be good to reboot. [23:53] Where is the man for python-cups? [23:54] any ideas what to do next? [23:54] hello all!!!! [23:54] sync3times, I meant to imply questioningly if it was necessary to reboot. Perhaps it is just as feasible to restart X or simply log out and back into Gnome? [23:54] sepidev: that's why it's adviced to use trusted repositories. Anything you install from synaptic, software center is trusted and checked for malware by Ubuntu itself. [23:54] will norton antivirus 2009 work under wine?? [23:54] obiwan_, ctrl-s in a terminal is supposed to apply flow control and stop output. [23:54] This is really maddening [23:54] The wireless device seems to be present [23:54] it loads the drivers [23:55] except the interfaces are not brought up [23:55] sync3times: that's now what man bash and many webs say, but anyway it doesn't stop flow either [23:55] sync3times, I will experiment a bit and see what I can come up with. I will be back. Thanks for assistance [23:55] ok. hey i install some of my app from this wesite: Appnr. === duh`sfjont is now known as masterczu === masterczu is now known as masterczulka [23:55] is it trusted or not? [23:55] Also now that I look at it, there's a new vboxnet0 device that I've not seen before [23:55] obiwan_, works for me [23:56] oh that's just virtualbox [23:56] !info couchdb [23:56] couchdb (source: couchdb): RESTful document oriented database, system DB. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.0-0ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 8 kB, installed size 80 kB === xomas_ is now known as xomas [23:57] sync3times: line 2969 man bash: forward-search-history (C-s) [23:57] it's supposed to do that, i'm using bash at my term [23:57] Ben64, something like perl -pne 's/(.{3})/\n$1/g;' file [23:58] and what do you mean with stop flow, prevent info from entering my terminal? [23:58] diskin: cool [23:58] quick question: is there a way to use google chrome incognito as default? [23:58] obiwan_, ctrl-s will stop the terminal from streaming output [23:58] i know how to do it in windows but can't figure it out in ubuntu [23:58] Ben64, it leaves some unprocessed at the end, needs more debugging [23:59] is there a command line tool to watermark videos ? i need to run this on my server, so no gui. [23:59] obiwan_, its a software flow control special character that is interpreted by the pty device driver. The pty device driver should then put the terminal to sleep [23:59] BoriTori: mencoder can do it [23:59] ok sync3times thanks, and could you tell me where i can get a man explaining such things? [23:59] Ben64: doesn't mencoder convert the video ? i want to leave the video as it is. just add watermark to it.
