[00:18] or pauze issues [00:18] so nobody knows the disable root config ? [00:19] nevermind i figured it out [00:19] then when I type firefox to use firefox from the server it doesn't load up. [00:19] neezer: any output? [00:19] in fact yesterday once it actually just loaded firefox from my local computer. [00:19] nope.

[00:20] same thing...when I hit enter the cursor goes to the next line and nothing happens. [00:20] flaccid, You want root to log in under ssh? You're aware of the security danger in that?

[00:22] m0ar: I find editing the startup applications entires in karmic to be problematic, you will probably have better luck creating a new entry and deleting the old one [00:22] i already have PermitRootLogin yes in there [00:22] trism: Okay, I'll try [00:22] neezer: that would imply that they actually do know something about technology. i say i doubt it. [00:23] trism: Is '/usr/bin/emesene -i' correctly formatted? [00:23] what about a digital tv irc chat [00:23] m0ar: looks correct to me [00:23] well, anyone can help for real? [00:23] trism: Okay, I'll tell in a moment [00:23] well, could it just be really slow....I have just been waiting for about 5 minutes and my fahmon is loading up with the normal (on server) in the window title bar. [00:23] what might cause firefox to just open up a local browser instead of one on my server? [00:24] <`boz> Thanks minimec up and running [00:24] neezer: i don't think anything could apart from being logged in locally [00:24] Hi! Can someone tell me how to get 3D acceleration with Radeon X1300 ? [00:24] Is it even posible? [00:24] `boz: np ;) [00:24] !ati | gnufreex, this might work.. perhaps [00:24] gnufreex, this might work.. perhaps: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:24] what do you mean by "logged in locally"? [00:24] trism: Works finers now, thanks [00:25] Thanks [00:25] <`boz> Don't know if this a quickie or not but two monitors on one machine ?

[00:26] neezer: firefox uses a weird script to start .. it checks to see if there are any local firefox processes running before it starts stuff.. === fofofooffo is now known as arooni [00:26] neezer: there is a switch.. something like "firefox --no-remote" [00:26] when using fglrx drivers (9.4-9.12) in ubuntu 9.10, 2D movements (scrolling, moving windows, playing videos) is choppy, but 3D is fine; what could I do? [00:26] neezer: that should run the process on the remote computer instead of the local [00:27] If I shut down firefox on my local computer would that work too? [00:27] neezer: perhaps.. I'm not sure [00:27] Err... that link did not helped [00:27] I get nothing in jockey-gtk [00:27] `boz: Normally the integrated GPU is disabled, when you plug a GPU on the AGP/PCI-e slot. [00:27] we'll see. I am trying to load up firefox right now, but my internet is pretty slow out here. [00:28] I'm on an oil rig in wyoming, and we have a satellite ISP. [00:28] How do i get fluxbox to start u on ubuntu? [00:28] `boz: not sure.. there are some solutions for using several screens on one system.. I've never tried them myself though.. [00:28] and the oil company is too cheap to pay for any upgraded bandwidth. [00:28] !twinview | `boz [00:28] `boz: twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [00:28] flash question: to play media contents in firefox under kde wich plugin I have to choose? [00:28] !dual [00:28] <`boz> so i have to use two video outs from the same source i.e. the video card? [00:28] !dualhead [00:28] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [00:28] anyways, thanks for the advice slart. I appreciate it. [00:28] `boz: check line above [00:29] neezer: you're welcome [00:29] <`boz> cheers [00:29] #kaffeine [00:29] pompa__: go with the adobe plugin.. it's not very good but it's the best alternative you've got [00:29] I have Radeon X1300 and Hardware Drivers do not show any restricted drivers available [00:29] pompa__: oh.. or you meant.. as a media player plugin? [00:30] gnufreex: yeah ATI that way [00:30] Slart: yes, that was so [00:30] hello... is there someone that can help me with a mixer? My nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 on karmic 9.10 is recognized and I can set up all the volumes in the alsamixer.... but the mixer of gnome don't allow me to set up the mic. I can't record nor use skype [00:30] Slart: every altarnative of that proposed seems to be gnome-oriented... [00:30] pompa__: I have no idea then.. perhaps the people in #kubuntu knows what is good for KDE [00:31] centHOGG: But that comunity HOWTO says that FGLRX should pop up in hardware drives [00:31] is there a way to configure mediatomb from command line without having to go into firefox to tell it which folders to serve up? [00:31] gnufreex: There are no property drivers for your card anymore. Only solution in karmic to have full support for your card, is to enable the kms features (kernelmodesettings) for your ati device. [00:31] And it does not say what to do if it dont [00:32] minimec: how to do that? [00:33] i'm looking for a timer that is somewhat scriptable... what i want to do is set up a timer that does this: runs from 25 => 0 minutes (productivity time) and then has some sort of sound or visisual indicator. then it automatically starts a 5 minute (break period) where it goes from 5 minutes to 0 and then has a visual/bell sound. then starts all over. any tool that does this for ubuntu? [00:33] arooni: yes, quite a few actually [00:33] tonsofpcs, what would you recommmend? i'd like to make it automatic [00:33] arooni: there might be a few.. check for RSI or write a simple bash script [00:34] Slart, what is RSI [00:34] arooni: google. [00:34] or apt-cache search [00:34] or freshmeat [00:34] arooni: something like Repetetive Strain Injury === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [00:34] arooni: when you're doing the same thing for extended periods of tim [00:34] gnufreex: create a file 'radeon.conf' in /etc/init.d/ with the following line ... 'options radeon modeset=1'. Then run 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all' and reboot. [00:35] hi, do we have any other vnc clients, except vinagre? I need one where I can manually specify vnc port number, that is possible in tigervnc/tightvnc, but both are not available in Karmic repos. [00:35] Thanks [00:35] err...what's this? [00:35] arooni: in bash something like sleep 60*25;beep;sleep 60*5;beep there are fancy "beep" utilities out there.. you'll probably have to do the calculations for the sleep timer yourself [00:36] One question before I reboot. Will I be able to play games with KMS ?

I'm not sure if there is another way [00:37] gnufreex: kms should give you best performance for your card, compiz-support included. [00:38] oke [00:38] gnufreex: ... but, kms is a rather new technology. So there will be improvements.

[01:04] iceroot: Aleoss: It's called empathy [01:04] EastDallas: thx [01:04] Aleoss: have a look at empathy [01:04] kcj1993: try sorting that process list according to the "memory" column.. not virtual memory [01:04] Aleoss: you could also try emesen [01:04] ok [01:05] hmm, that in the 9.04 apt scunizi ? [01:05] Aleoss: A big thumbs up for Emesene tbh [01:05] Aleoss: I believe if you install the latest version of Pidgin from the pidgin repository, it does support webcam. [01:05] Aleoss: Or btlbee if you like IRC [01:05] m0ar: he want webcam-support [01:05] EastDallas: Pidgin only supports webcam on XMPP and GTalk. [01:05] iceroot: Okay [01:05] i just installed Moblin on my netbook and it's grub legacy overwrote the grub2 that my Ubuntu NBR had installed [01:05] bjqrn0: probably not.. it's typically a binary blob direct from nvidia.. fairly easy to install but you have to reinstall with each kernel upgrade [01:05] Do you all agree KDE is better than gnome or, at least, people prefer it? [01:05] m0ar: but of couse bitlbee is the best one out there + irssi + screen + ssh [01:05] ubottu: i like to know if sendemail will work with this scirpt [01:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:05] !best | alberto [01:05] alberto: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:06] alberto: them's fighten' words.. everyone has a prefence.. none better then the other. [01:06] alberto: just try them (maybe with a live-cd or virtual machine) [01:06] the legacy grub is broken and i need to restore grub2 [01:06] alberto: I totally disagree [01:06] KDE just eats so much performance [01:06] thats a smaert bot [01:07] alberto: ubuntu uses gnome by default.. kubuntu uses KDE.. if you ask me it's just different.. although I like what the KDE people are doing when it comes to getting the memory footprint down.. but I still use gnome for everyday use [01:07] Slart: http://imgur.com/aGNny.png [01:07] iceroot:i like to know if sendemail will work with this scirpt [01:07] I'm asking you this because I used to work with KDE, but I prefer Gnome [01:07] By far [01:08] And I don't mean it's visually more attractive [01:08] my home directory is causing nautilus and compiz to not start [01:08] what kind of formatting do i need to do to a USB stick before using unetbootin to make UNR bootable via the disk? [01:08] help [01:08] caseys: what script? [01:08] kcj1993: well.. it's hard to say what it might be.. I don't see anything really strange in that process list.. lots of small widgets and stuff that use some memory but that's not uncommon [01:08] caseys: what about trying it? [01:08] But also more efficient. === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [01:09] alberto: everyone is prefering another app [01:09] alberto: so its a bad idea to ask what is the best app. normally there is not one single best app (like zsh :)) [01:10] dumb question how do you mount a cdrom from within an initramfs? [01:10] However, I notice there are a lot of packages made for KDE lately... [01:10] hi [01:10] I'm sitting at a shell and its making fun of me.. help [01:10] mallochigh: `mount -t iso9660 /dev/your_cd_drive /some_mount_point` [01:11] vlt the dev nods aren't there [01:11] cdrom is mentioned in the dmesg [01:11] its ithin a virtual bo [01:11] it within a virtual box, i've compiled cdrom every where i could in the kernel.. [01:11] hi [01:12] mallochigh: `cat /proc/partitions` [01:12] mallochigh: Is the cdrom listed? [01:12] nothing was listed ecept for the table headings of cat/proc/partitions [01:13] Does cat support syntax highlighting? [01:14] remyo: I don't know, but you could try `vim -R` [01:15] this drives me nuts cause im sitting at a bash prompt using the same kernel.. im going to reboot that machine now and see if that is still the case.. [01:15] how can i kill this? kill -9 PID don't work :S 3224 ? Zl 1:07 [transmission] [01:16] vlt: Yeah, but I still have to open and close vim. I like the quickness of cat. === fengor is now known as fen[zZzZ] [01:16] hmmm, I just run insserv to try to install a single service, and it has completely modified my rcN.d scripts (using 9.10) [01:16] Is there any site where I can find Linux drivers? [01:16] any idea on how to restore the scripts that I should have there? [01:17] (I'm trying to make Ubuntu Karmic recognise my DVD writer as so, not just as a DVD reader... [01:17] By the way, excuse my english... [01:17] alberto: dvd writers usually work out of the box, just run your preferred dvd writer application [01:18] Ranakah: I don't think you can kill zombies.. on the other hand they don't use any resources afaik [01:18] Slart, I suspect an update === Administrator is now known as Guest30958 [01:18] hello [01:18] antlarr Excuse me... What do you mean "Out of the Box"? [01:18] Ranakah: a reboot will get rid of it though.. if you really want it gone [01:19] alberto: (sorry everyone for the spanish) que simplemente funcionan sin hacer nada [01:19] ive problem to install my nvidia driver http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/397205/ [01:19] antlarr Oh, you're a spaniard! [01:19] i installed the linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic mainline kenrel plus sources but the nvidia setup does not find the sources [01:20] hi all, um, which of these is my NAS? [01:20] kcj1993: perhaps it will improve after some more updates.. hard to tell... if you want to use the cache you can configure the "swapiness" of the kernel.. I think it's a setting somewhere in the /proc tree [01:20] actually, lazyness did that typing [01:20] hope somebody here will help me... #ubuntu-de is already sleeping [01:20] antlarr How did you notice I'm spanish too? [01:21] e-i-k-e karmic uses 2.6.31 [01:21] by the name? [01:21] not 2.6.32 [01:21] antlarr I could be Italian also... [01:21] miki: yes, but on the orig. kernel my wlan is producing kernel panics nonstop [01:21] antlarr Or Portuguese... [01:21] antlarr :) [01:22] alberto: you're going out of topic :) [01:22] thats why i am trying another kernel version [01:22] antlarr Anyway, let's get to the point [01:22] Do you use NDISwraper? [01:22] miki: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/401126/comments/62 [01:22] antlarr Brasero doesn't recognise my DVD writer [01:22] miki: i tried ndiswrapper. one windows driver is accepted but the wlan is not working with it. [01:23] antlarr Only Image recorder. [01:23] realtek supported a linux driver but this is not perfect [01:23] I see [01:23] e-i-k-e: Have a look at /usr/src. Maybe you have to extract the sources. The sources could be in a tar file or so... [01:24] miki: and as the user on launchpad wrote that the kernel panic is not appearing on another kernel version i decided to try this. @ubuntu-de they said better use an non-ubuntu patched kernel than have non stop kernel panics [01:24] alberto: no idea, it has always worked for me [01:24] antlarr Where are you from? [01:25] minimec: ah, okay. was not extracted [01:25] If you use non-Ubuntu kernel, ABI will break [01:25] minimec: i thought when i am installing it via gdebi it will be ready for use :D === ring1 is now known as ring0 [01:25] anyone with a Intel 855 chip? It has been hell to install Karmic and I can't get the Desktop effect to work [01:25] miki: ABI ? [01:25] And lots of packages wont work [01:25] oh... sounds not good -..- [01:25] Beter go with another distro [01:25] hi,installing ubuntu is not working [01:26] what can I do [01:26] hm... i switched to linux a week ago and ubuntu was fine for me until know [01:26] nomnex: I know 9.04 had some intel problems.. but I thought they fixed it for 9.10 [01:26] Datz: the CD? [01:26] Datz: how is it not working? [01:26] !intel | nomnex [01:26] nomnex: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [01:26] its a script for a program that sends a email and i like to see if it will work with sendemail [01:26] miki: where can i find out what the kernel of the alpha1 of lucid lynx is? [01:27] !info linux-image-generic lucid [01:27] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.9.9 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [01:27] nomnex: scunizi, yes cd. gets to a state "detecting file systems. Then screen just starts flashing black, then text from existing install. [01:27] e-i-k-e: there it is. [01:27] any ubuntu gamers out there with experience with punkbuster? [01:27] and all progress freezes [01:27] Datz: I could not run the installation CD Karmic on my notebook before setting acpi=off [01:28] nomnex: I saw that option. I'll try it. thanks [01:28] Slart: do you think switching to alpha1 of lucid lynx is an good idea as i dont know much about linux at all [01:28] Datz: what's the model make? [01:28] nomnex: what happened? [01:28] e-i-k-e: nah.. not yet.. perhaps in a couple of months.. [01:28] nomnex: it is a P4 system [01:28] e-i-k-e: it will break over the next few months on and off [01:28] okay [01:28] e-i-k-e: but I'm not really sure what I would recommend instead.. if karmic isn't working for you [01:28] Datz: the CD installation was freezing after 10 sec. [01:28] e-i-k-e: No! Switching to lucid right now on a productive machine is not a good idea! [01:28] nomnex: with a ASrock mobo [01:29] nomnex: ok, I'll try with acpi off [01:29] the problem is the wlan... everything else runs fine under the standard kernel [01:29] nomnex, I'll report back later, thanks [01:29] but after 4-24h gnome freezes and i have a blinking caps lock of death [01:29] e-i-k-e: Lucid is definetly not god idea. You could try Mandriva, just wait to look which kernel uses [01:29] Datz: good luck [01:29] e-i-k-e: ndiswrapper could also be a solution... === rgr is now known as rgrx30 [01:30] minimec: ndiswrapper was not really working [01:30] Is there any site where I can download linux drivers from? [01:30] I need Hauppauge HVR-1100 Ubuntu driver [01:30] maybe somebody here could decide if using another kernel than the standard one is a bad idea... in ubuntu-de they told me its better to use a non ubuntu kernel than having kernel panics [01:31] but here you tell me this is a bad idea [01:31] dont know what to do now [01:31] alberto: drivers are usually included in the distro if they are stable and works [01:32] I have a filesystem question, I'm trying to figure out which filesystem I would be best off using... I have a 2tb disk array which I'm hoping to get both a decent amount of performance and stability out of, but mainly I will be using it for video files, music and gaming, which filesystem would you use? [01:32] hello friends, I've been having some troubles witj my upper panel, after I modify the size of it and did a restart of the X system, all my icons and launchers are messed up, thay changed to other places on the panel, the ones that used to be on the left are now on the right and viceversa [01:32] Xaero: ext4 for me [01:32] its a script for a program that sends a email and i like to see if it will work with sendemail [01:33] Xaero: I'd use a journaling file system like ext3/ext4 or reiserfs... [01:33] slart So...What if they're not included? [01:33] e-i-k-e: it's a bad idea to run a non-ubuntu kernel.. yes.. it's also a bad idea to run a machine with an OS that throws kernel panics around like it's candy.. I would look into other distros.. perhaps there is one that has a different kernel.. or different settings.. [01:33] alberto: Your card should be supported. [01:33] alberto: then they are usually not stable =) [01:33] JCDG: Right click every icon, then select unlock. Then right click again and select move [01:33] e-i-k-e: Compiling kernels for Ubuntu is actually somewhat of a challenge, the ubuntu team makes lots of small modifications to a kernel, and simply put a vanilla-compiled kernel will not boot ubuntu. [01:33] Slart I mean, Jaunty used to name my tv tuner "Hauppauge HVR-1100", but Karmic says it's a Philips [01:34] And finds no channels [01:34] Blue1, nomnex: thanks for the insight, looks like ext4 it is [01:34] dvb-t [01:34] alberto: the point I'm making is that there is no "big linux driver site" because most drivers are included in the distro [01:34] Slart: what would you recommend for somebody like me who left windows after ~12 years a week ago [01:34] miki, but it also affected the Apps, Places and System Menus... [01:34] slart ok, I understand [01:34] I left windows too [01:34] pierdolic to [01:34] alberto: I wonder if you tried out mythbuntu, if it would have the updated driver, you could try it as a livecd [01:34] Xaero: BUT I AM ACTUALLY RUNNING ON THE PPA MAINLINE KERNEL Oo [01:34] e-i-k-e: try any of the big ones.. Suse, mandrake, fedora, debian... perhaps Arch.. [01:34] Xaero: as an aside -- I have used reiserfs without problems for 4 years -- I'd switch but I don't have enough room to back up the 1 t/b drive [01:34] oops, sry [01:34] but now got stuck in figuring different files in linux [01:35] The thing is... KARMIC SUCKS! [01:35] JCDG: Same thing. That can be moved too [01:35] Blue1: reiserfs is still in dev? [01:35] e-i-k-e: they are all different in some way.. but all are well supported and has a lot of users [01:35] nomnex: no... [01:35] Blue1: that's why I rather go with ext4 now [01:36] JAUNTY RULES [01:36] Slart: can i still use all my firefox, thunderbird whatever settings from my home dir with other distributions? [01:36] nomnex: it's a good choice but there are consequences [01:36] is anyone really familiar with xorg.conf settings???? [01:36] beginner: there is no such file on Karmic [01:36] e-i-k-e: I'm not sure.. I think so.. but I can't guarantee anything [01:36] e-i-k-e: You could even go with Ubuntu 8.4 LTS [01:36] nomnex: the delayed write function of ext4, while increasing performance, does imho, DECREASE reliability... [01:36] alberto: Karmic was a drastic deviation from the standard linux approach, it was bound to encounter slight distasteful changes with a lot of improvements, its gotta get polished ;) [01:36] beginner: but you can write one [01:36] alberto: some hvr-1100 cards are phillips, some have conexant [01:37] miki, it does not work, I can only move them until a certain part of the panel, not to all the left side of the panel. [01:37] I have been trying to get my cube switcher working for half of a day, but been unsuccessful so far [01:37] Although, I do have to admit, Karmic boots a LOT faster [01:37] Xaero What should I do in the meantime? [01:37] Blue1: I give you that but I have never experienced any problem - ever [01:38] nomnex: the big thing - ext4 is supported... [01:38] JCDG: That is because you have somethin locked. Unlock all icons and try again [01:38] Xaero Waiting for the improvements to be real? [01:38] I should never say never... [01:38] its a script for a program that sends a email and i like to see if it will work with sendemail [01:38] JCDG: When some item is locked, it prevents moving of others [01:38] caseys: are you asking a question? I don't really understand [01:39] alberto: I would stick with whatever distro and build has been running stable for you, its not always the best to have the latest and greatest, In the windows world I still reccomend XP over Vista or Win7 just because its a stable polished OS (if you can call windows stable); Karmic has several improvements, improved memory management, faster boot times, and its very stable, although some of the changes, such as no more udev rules, and s [01:39] this is the error I get when I type compiz --replace in consol [01:39] mall other issues make things a little more complicated, its just gonna take time to iron out the wrinkles, they just pulled this sheet outta the dryer [01:39] http://pastebin.com/m682fbb04 [01:39] Xaero You're totally right [01:40] i have a script for a program that sends a email and i like to see if it will work with sendemail [01:40] miki and what happens with the ocons of the apps that I'm using, ie, the xchat icon, the amsn icon, the battery icon, the wifi signal icon, and the volume icon, they are all locked, I suposse... [01:40] beginner: it appears you don't have a direct-rendering capable device [01:40] Hey guys, I had some questions about hardware for a new comp build im doing. I wanted to know if there are any Cpu/GPU/Mobo etc brands/models to stay away from. Or any pointers in general with regards to ubuntu friendly hardware. [01:40] beginner: what kind of graphics card do you have? [01:40] beginner, ok so nothing happens hold on [01:40] the most stupid one ever [01:40] anyone got quakelive workin on ubuntu / firefox ? ive had no end of problems [01:40] ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 [01:41] caseys: yes.. I'm with you so far.. but do you have a question about that? [01:41] beginner: what does it say next to direct rendering when you do glxinfo | grep render in a terminal? [01:41] "No" [01:41] beginner, Compiz requires at least a Radeon 7000 (or M6). From the 7000 to the X1950, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. All cards newer than the X1950 must use the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [01:42] JCDG: If you mean those icons on Systray, the whole systray is treated as one item. You need to right-click on border of it, and then unlock it [01:42] I also installed all of fglrx drivers [01:42] slart: could you look at the script to see if it will work [01:42] and now in the xorg.conf there are 3 device sections!!! [01:42] caseys: I'm no scripting expert.. but I can take a look.. sure.. put it in a pastebin somewhere === matt_ is now known as Guest70443 === mobius is now known as Guest97896 [01:43] beginner, I would go over to the #compiz channel and talk with either adamk or soreau [01:43] thanks [01:43] beginner, they are the ati guys there I am the nvidia guy === Guest97896 is now known as mobius2 [01:43] nomnex: still having same problem [01:43] coz_: beginner: I do also own a x1250 in combination with an AMD chipset. Compiz is working (even with kms). [01:43] greetings [01:43] anyone? [01:43] hmm [01:43] I really like to have cube switcher [01:44] can someone help me to install ubuntu? I get a flashing screen after a short period of running the installer [01:44] mindnull, thats cool but it may be he has installed the driver improperly perhaps? I am not sure with ati stuff [01:44] * mobius2 tosses 2 cents into the compliment bucket [01:44] Which gpu brand is more linux friendly? [01:44] best distro ever imho [01:44] ati ;] [01:44] so when i run gnome-alsamixer - i dont see any panels [01:44] any models/series of either to avoid? [01:44] is there supposed to be sound settings under there? [01:44] matrox really [01:44] or to go for? [01:45] are there any font packages i can download? [01:45] any one help me install ubuntu, it won't install. [01:45] beginner: Can you paste.ubuntu.com the output of 'lspci' in a console [01:45] 3DFX is pretty up to date. [01:45] i know fedora has lots but does ubuntu [01:45] brian: my nvidia 9800gt works great i can even play wow under wine [01:45] Can I launch an X server from my Ubuntu machine while in Mac OS X? [01:45] datzy1 what kernel version are you attempting to install? [01:45] ok [01:45] and is it an upgrade or a clean install === z is now known as Guest37634 [01:45] ubtuntu-restricted-extras minimec . [01:45] Can I do it with just SSH or do I need VNC? [01:45] mobius2: it is ubuntu 9.10 so what ever verison it is shipped with [01:45] http://pastebin.com/m682fbb04 [01:45] or mstcorefonts or something [01:46] forgive me I just entered [01:46] maybe its msttcorefonts [01:46] shipped? [01:46] * datzy1 sighs [01:46] agreed [01:46] model number? [01:46] miki thans a lot, that was it... [01:46] mobius2: what model number? [01:46] beginner: lspci... ;) not compiz -replace [01:47] datzy1: explain the problem (white screen, install freeze)? [01:47] mobius2: if I am correct, I think 9.10 has 2.6.31 [01:47] I am assuming that you are trying to install ubuntu to a computer what kind of computer is it? if it is a laptop what is the model number? [01:47] How do I check to see which drivers are being used by Ubuntu? It's not in xorg.conf like in other distros. (I don't use GNOME.) [01:47] ok, sorry [01:47] What about dual gpu issues? [01:47] sli vs crossfire? [01:47] PM [01:47] Mefached: check /var/log/ for the x log files. It should mention them in there. [01:47] hi everyone! [01:48] nomnex: I get to a point, connecting to server for time, 1-30, detecting file system, then screen goes to flashing, not always at the exact point, but around there. [01:48] Mefached: and the minimal xorg.conf file is getting to be common in many disrtos now. [01:48] bluetooth help? [01:48] mobius2: it is a P4 with an ASrock board [01:48] here you go http://pastebin.com/m608082bb [01:48] Can I launch an X server from my Ubuntu machine while in Mac OS X? Can I do it with just SSH or do I need VNC? [01:48] Dr_Willis: was just using Slackware, where the drivers were mentioned there. [01:48] datzy1 desktop / laptop? [01:48] consider me blind [01:48] the mic on my headset is not connecting :-) [01:48] nomnex: mobius2 desktop, currently 8.04 is installed [01:48] thanks ;] [01:49] Maletor: clarify what you are trying to do exactly. You can proberly ssh -X linuxbox and have the program appear on the local Mac machine. some how... [01:49] Well, I just stepped off the compiz from source cliff [01:49] actually I use debian, [01:49] Mefached: slackware is rather old fashined in many ways. [01:49] Dr_Willis: that's exactly what I want to do [01:49] beginner: You don't have a x1250, but a 'Mobility Radeon X2300' ... [01:49] Is there a way to install kde 4.3.x on Intrepid 8.10? [01:49] Dr_Willis, Which is actually why it worked so well for me. This laptop is BCM43XX though and I don't have the patience to get it working in Slackware. [01:49] yes [01:49] datzy1 what seems to be the exact problem? is there a specific error or is the copmuter just locking up ? [01:49] Firefishe: try "Kubuntu" [01:50] Maletor: id ask in some OS-X room on how to do it. or google for somtjhing like 'ssh -X os X remote X' [01:50] However, that being said, the laptop is loading the radeon driver as it should. Thanks. [01:50] datzy1: "connecting to server for time" was the same point for me. the second option did not help either "nolapic"? [01:50] Xaero: Kubuntu is practically dead when I'm on. [01:50] run level 5 [01:50] becuase x1250 driver is only for redhat and suse [01:50] re install [01:50] I need help with bluetooth [01:50] Firefishe:I mean the kubuntu release :D [01:50] Isn't Kubuntu 9.10 using 4.3.x? [01:50] wolfie__, whats the issue. [01:50] the mic does not connect [01:51] and then I cannot make amarok or exaile to output to the headset [01:51] mplayer does [01:51] whats ur bluetooth hardware? [01:51] Minimec, any suggestion?! [01:51] mobius2: just locking up pretty much. nomnex: damn I did acpi = off, not "noacpi" [01:51] I have an ati card using the fglrx driver. There was a problem with fglrx in 9.04, to which I have to upgrade *first* before going to 9.10. However, this is a P4 box, five years old. 8.04 is stable. I just want the newer kde. [01:51] motorola s9-hd [01:51] does alsamixer show current output levels? [01:51] pardon [01:51] I was hoping there might've been a backport or someting. [01:52] something [01:52] apparently ubu uses runlevel 2 as default [01:52] that's the headset. what's the computer bluetooth hardware? [01:52] hello everyone. i was having trouble running fsck on 9.10. i unmounted the drive i wanted to check, which is my only hd, but fsck still says that it is mounted [01:52] dunno [01:52] smash190: You can't access fsck from the single-user menu, anymore. [01:52] it came with the computer [01:52] nomnex: going to try noacpi now [01:52] Firefishe, then what should i do? [01:52] it's a thinkpad T61 [01:53] smash190: If you want to run an fsck you have do: touch /forcefsck then reboot. (Please correct me if this is wrong, people. [01:53] is there a way I can check? [01:53] are there specific cards to avoid for dual gpu setups? [01:53] smash190: That's how I had to do it on my laptop running 9.10. [01:54] smash190: There's an entire thread dedicated to this somewhere, which where I got the general info. I got the command advice here,though. [01:54] Firefishe, thanks, i am giving it a try now then. it seems as if it is working. thanks a bunch [01:54] You're welcome. [01:54] how do you see the partitions in ubuntu 9.04. graphically [01:54] Hello. I just installed ubuntu on an empty hard drive, booted like recommended and now got "GRUB loading. \n error: no such partition \n grub rescue>". What to do now? [01:54] smash190: I hope it works for you. Either that, or you'd have to do fsck from a live cd. [01:54] no, i do not think so [01:55] mralexandro: gpart but you have to install it sudo apt-get install gpart [01:55] !pastebin [01:55] 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 [01:55] Firefishe, i think it worked, but it didn't correct any hd errors it seems. the " [01:55] palimpsest disk util" says that I have many bad sectors... [01:55] nomnex, it is gparted [01:55] nomnex: Getting time from net server, scanning disks fd0 I/O error, Detecting file systems... screen starts flashing... no progress. This is with noacpi [01:56] wolfie_ thanks correting [01:56] nomnex, thanks [01:56] smash190: hmmm. If it's a new install, perhaps you should re-partition *manually*, then install again. [01:56] so, brian? [01:56] I'm in GRUB shell. `root` gives me "Unknown command". Wtf? [01:56] smash190: that, or you have a bad h/d [01:56] yes, sorry. where were we? [01:57] trying to figure out the hardware [01:57] hrmmm if i want to install ubuntu 9.10 and delete everything except my existing home folder - does the boot cd offer that option? [01:57] how do I check? [01:57] nomnex, how do i display it graphically, not in console [01:57] Firefishe, it is indeed a new install. i will go ahead and reinstall. what could have caused this? something with the installer? [01:57] paragonc, I don't believe so. That's the purpose of having a separate /home partition. [01:57] so guys, what should I do? nomnex? [01:58] smash190: It's hard to say. Tell me, how new is your system? Also, what kind of hardware (cpu and type of h/d)? [01:58] lsusb [01:58] or lspci in the terminal [01:58] hey everyone [01:58] find an alternate distro? :( [01:58] should spit out rundown of the hardware [01:58] Like Ubuntu over whatever elese I have tried... [01:59] * paragonc goes to check his partition setup [01:59] datzy1, pastebin the output of lspci [01:59] guess I could go with debian... [01:59] whats wrong datzy1 ? [01:59] Mefached: how should I get it? [01:59] smash190: If you need assistance, I will be happy to help you--in my limited capacity--with the install, if you wish. [01:59] hi [01:59] datzy1, I assume you're running on a LiveCD? [01:59] am i able to save my compiz settings to reuse after a reinstall? [01:59] hey having some issues and was looking for some help [01:59] Why does ubuntu render fonts like shit? [02:00] Mefached, Brian, this is the progression. Getting time from net server, scanning disks fd0 I/O error, Detecting file systems... screen starts flashing... no progress. This is with noacpi [02:00] smash190: just a sec...wife came home, have to cuddle ;) [02:00] yes live cd [02:00] but not using live install [02:00] just installing [02:00] ok, BroadComm [02:00] datzy1: I had a problem burning the .ISO on the CD, I had to burn the image on a DVD. Past the point of F6 options, I hope someone else can help with the issue. [02:00] beginner: Your card should work with the opensource ati driver.. The radeonhd driver could also be a solution. sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [02:00] how can i translate ubuntu with moblin to spanish?? [02:00] can u paste the line [02:00] Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2110 Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Controller [02:00] Firefishe, it seems as if it is a bug maybe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libatasmart/+bug/438136 [02:00] thanks [02:00] nomex ??? [02:01] effing broadcom [02:01] :( [02:01] tis seems like overkill to get my soundcard working [02:01] tvudge: yes [02:01] guess I could waste another disk, and try alternate install cd [02:01] not good? [02:01] u just upgraded from 8.1o to 9.04 then to 9.10 [02:01] my sounds is totally borked [02:01] i reinstalled alsa from scratch - but alsaconf doesnt show any channels for my soundcard [02:02] tvjudge [02:02] how do i set up mailutils? [02:02] paragonc: did it ever work? sound is hosed in Linux. It neds replacing. [02:02] Um, broadcom is notoriously unhelpful to the Linux community. [02:02] I installed everything [02:02] I see [02:02] Maybe that's not the case anymore, but i think that's the reputation they have. [02:02] rgrx30: yes - it worked for a year - but not since i updated today [02:02] wolfie_: sounds like you and I have running into the same problem. are you trying to use ndiswrapper? [02:02] they dont help out with linux drivers and such [02:03] similar happned to a a debian install I have. I'm sick of defending it to be honest. Its a fucking joke. [02:03] bill, is your issue with bluetooth or nic/wireless cards/ [02:03] it's my wireless card. [02:03] ok [02:03] it's also a broadcom [02:03] let me guess, you installed ubuntu and its flaky and drops connection? [02:03] rgrx30: you ever get it working? [02:03] the usual suspect is muted channels which need unmuting via alsa-conf [02:03] on 9.10 ? [02:04] smash190: I have to switch machines, wife wants this one. [02:04] bbl [02:04] humm, no one can help me... I wonder what the bug is.... [02:04] anione can help me please [02:04] how can i translate ubuntu with moblin to spanish? [02:04] i'm on 9.10. It worked when I used the live cd. After I installed ubuntu to the hard disk, my wireless doesn't work at all. [02:04] Ok. [02:05] did you ever get the 'proprietary drivers' alert? === Matthew is now known as Guest52613 [02:05] beginner: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon [02:05] it should be a green looking icon in your system tray? [02:06] no. when I try to scan for restricted drivers, nothing comes up. On he live CD, i was able to update the drivers for both the wireless card and my nvidia video card [02:06] what do you need to convert HD mkv files to to be able to play on disc in a bluray player? [02:07] grkblood13: if the thing can play normal dvd videos. you can use 'devede' to make a dvd. [02:07] rgrx30: if there's nothing in alsaconf? [02:07] I have a second hd in my comp. that has linux mint 7.04 from ages ago but it isn't a boot option. I'd like to use the space. What is the best way to do this? With the Gparted liveCD? [02:07] im looking for HD qulaity though [02:07] How do I reset my vim profile? I can't find it. Not sure when exactly things got wonky, but they are. [02:07] thanks, [02:07] will normal dvd player support HD? [02:07] Slart: do you know if i can encrypt my system partion with the archlinux isntall cd? [02:07] c++-es [02:08] bye [02:08] grkblood13: no idea. I find the whole 'hd' trend a bunch of buzzwords and bs. [02:08] well, i ahve a ps3, thats why im asking [02:08] e-i-k-e: I have no idea.. you probably can.. but ask in the irc channel for Arch.. not here [02:08] i didnt think dvd players supported hd [02:09] Bil I had that very same problem last night with a new install of ubuntu [02:09] grkblood13: theres ways to stream video to the ps3 withouit even making a disk [02:09] were you able to fix it? [02:09] bill, what model of broadcom card do you have? do a lsusb in ur terminal [02:09] i am having an issue with my xorg.conf [02:09] yes [02:09] Dr_Willis, i know [02:09] but i wanted to know about burning to disks as well [02:09] i already stream hd to it [02:09] I have a broadcom 43 series wireless card in this laptio [02:10] I installed window drivers [02:10] which is like, the worst of the worst. [02:10] but to do so i switch containers to m2ts [02:10] i some how removed my xserver-xorg-video-ati [02:10] how do I set 120hz as refresh rate for my monitor? [02:10] did you use the bwcutter Jazz? [02:10] i have reinstalled this package but what is the reconfigure script [02:10] :D [02:10] I used ndisgth package [02:10] or should i just delete my xorg.conf [02:10] the STA driver should do the trick for most broadcom cards . [02:11] brian: when i use lspci in the terminal, it tells me that I have a bcm4328. However, when I look at the PCI card, it says that the model number is bcm94321mc [02:11] locate the .inf [02:11] so, who had the idea of keeping a working insserv binary in the distribution? [02:11] antlarr: it was bill gates.. happy? [02:12] Dr_Willis: probably it was him, yes [02:12] antlarr: You may want to clarify the question :) [02:12] * lance_snoozing slaps Jazz197 around a bit with a large trout [02:12] ? channel for apache help? [02:12] Hi lance [02:12] Kovert: for apache httpd, #httpd [02:12] Dr_Willis: I just run insserv as always to insert a new service, and it reordered all my services [02:13] why doesn't gone-alsamixer show any channels? [02:13] hi jacquesdupontd [02:13] anyone have other suggestions for installing ubuntu? [02:13] Jazz197 [02:13] It refuses to install [02:13] antlarr: cant say that ive ever used the inserv program so cant help [02:13] sryque, thanks [02:13] it has always been the standard to insert a new service [02:13] but it's not compatible with upstart [02:13] hi [02:13] Jazz197: I have tried to use ndisgtk to install the driver. accoding to ndisgtk, the driver has been installed and the hardware is there. but then I get a popup saying that there is no network configuration tool [02:13] sup ? [02:14] ? can some one help me do the following? 2) Make sure you include /etc/phpbb3/apache.conf in the apache config of [02:14] your choice, for example by creating a symlink from etc/apache(2)/conf.d [02:14] to it. Usually, phpbb3 should have asked you to do this for you during [02:14] configuring. [02:14] Kovert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:14] i was playing colin mc rae dir2 [02:14] ah, the dreaded broadcom 43x . [02:14] is anyone using fglrx drivers [02:14] Dr_Willis: The subject of the post of this guy explains it all quite well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513866 [02:15] ("insserv ruined my life") [02:15] You can grab the broadcom sta driver off the live cd [02:15] its in pool/restricted/broadcom [02:15] Hi, i just installed the latest version of ubuntu. And then installed the restricted ATI driver and rebooted. And i get a black screen [02:15] i believe [02:15] i just had another time an iphone and i would like to know if an app is replacing totally itunes on Ubuntu ? [02:15] When I install the Nvidia restricted drivers, it sets the xorg.conf to low resoltion, when I try to reconfigure it, xorg.conf has nothing in it to drive it to high resolution? [02:16] fortunately I have another computer here with the same version of nearly everything, so I'm making a script to regenerate the symlinks in the same way [02:16] Why is this configuration so hard? [02:16] hello, i am trying to write a crontab entry to keep my server up to date but when I use apt-get upgrade some of the packages are being held back [02:16] jacquesdupontd: no, I don't think there is anything completely replacing itunes on ubuntu (or linux) [02:16] wait bill [02:16] jacquesdupontd: you might be able to run itunes in wine.. or using a vm [02:16] i heard about songbird but doesn't seems its suyncrhonising it [02:16] fongoul: You likely want dist-upgrade, not upgrade [02:16] gonna be obliged to use wine yes [02:16] fongoul: try apt-get dist-upgrade [02:16] anyone ? [02:16] insserv should have been removed if it makes the system unusable when run! [02:16] ? do i set up mailutils [02:17] lance_snoozing are you the guy that was trying to get working is pxe feature working ? [02:17] how do i set up mailutils? [02:18] Jazz197:ok [02:18] I do not want to upgrade the distro, merely things like the linux kernel but they always seem to get held back in my server for some reason [02:18] how to reconfigure my xserver-xorg-video-ati [02:18] oh ya bill I was also connection to the ethernet cable at the time [02:18] they do not get upgraded with apt-get upgrade [02:18] ok guys [02:19] fongoul: use dist-upgrade.. it will upgrade more stuff then just upgrade [02:19] fongoul: there is some kind of idea behing what gets updated and what doesn't.. but I don't remember the details now [02:19] i have an old computer laptop toshiba, and the optical disk reader is not working anymore, i would like to install ubuntu on it i guess my only chance to do it is by pxe cause this machine aint booting on a usb flash drive [02:20] jazz: i'm on ethernet right now. I'm trying to find a working cd drive right now. I forgot to mention that I'm using the 64 bit version of ubuntu 9.10 [02:20] Slart: like any thing that needs a reboot [02:20] jacquesdupontd: or remove the hard drive and install it to that [02:20] when I installed ubuntu, I used a USB stick. [02:20] could someone help me configure the pxe so that my computer boot on pxe and my machine gives him the image.iso of ubuntu to install it ? [02:20] fongoul: something like that.. I don't remember [02:20] oh I was using 32 [02:20] Slart, boring [02:20] fongoul: dist-upgrade will offer to remove packages to solve dependencies, regular upgrade won't [02:20] in plus not same configuration and all ... [02:20] not same kernel [02:21] that doesn't work like that [02:21] i think pxe should be good [02:21] but i don't know at all how is it working [02:21] jacquesdupontd: hmm.. remove the drive while blindfolded, install it using only your feet while hanging upside down.. install the harddrive while avoiding the lions at the zoo ;) [02:21] thank you jtaji and Slart it worked like a charm but I thought that command did a distro upgrade, what is the command for that? [02:21] i guess the laptop im on right now should be an host and would accept a certain ip and would give it the image.iso to boot on [02:21] Does anyone here know anything about the M-Audio 'madfuload' segfault bug on amd64? [02:21] fongoul: there isn't one [02:22] oh [02:22] fongoul: I think it works that way on debian though [02:22] fongoul: technically it could be used to do that.. distro upgrade is do-release-upgrade [02:22] Jazz: so you just used ndisgtk, and it worked, right? did you have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it working? [02:22] thank you [02:22] Slart you're trying to tell me that you don't know at all how is working pxe ? i was finding that it was a good reason to learn about it for one time [02:23] I can get on irc (obviously), but when I try to go to google or any site in firefox it just stays at the "looking up www.google.com" forever [02:23] until it eventually says server no foun [02:23] *found [02:23] gonna google a bit [02:23] is someone feel to explain me a little bit pxe [02:23] jacquesdupontd: I tried playing with it once... but that was on a windows system.. [02:24] Dr_Willis, did you see my vim question earlier? I thought you might know... Is there a way to reset my personal settings? Some equivalent of a .vim file I can wipe out? [02:24] actually i'm on Windows 7 but i have Ubuntu installed tho, the thing is i wanna install ubuntu on the machine i'm talking about the Toshiba one, but i don't think the image does matter [02:24] bill this is what I did Obtain the Windows Driver for your system and locate the file that ends with .inf. [02:25] poseidon: can you pastebin the output of a tracert google.com?, you may have to sudo apt-get install traceroute before being able to run that command [02:25] got it. I have the windows driver, and the .inf file [02:25] Install the ndisgtk package. [02:25] done. It's installed right now. [02:25] i'm finding i'm finding :) [02:25] cool [02:25] Xaero, :) it's won't download [02:26] craigbass1976, I believe the file you are looking for is .vimrc [02:26] i need , dhcp3-server, TFTP-HPA et bind9 [02:26] has anyone got an ip flooder [02:26] poseidon: O.o [02:27] oh, it finally did. Just stalled in the beginning :) [02:27] sryque, .viminfo ? [02:27] <_Nacho_> hello everybody [02:27] sryque, owned by root? Can I safely wipe this (> .viminfo)? [02:27] _Nacho_, your anme makes me hungry. Hello === hantu_channel is now known as libur_tp_kerja [02:27] <_Nacho_> lol. I know :) [02:28] any last words of advice before i reinstall ubuntu 9.10 ? [02:28] _Nacho_: its true, your giving me the munchies [02:28] <_Nacho_> it's a typical spanish name and also a tex-mex food . [02:28] im out of ideas for dealing with alsa [02:28] back with my wlan issue... http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/003063.html [02:28] craigbass1976, I believe .viminfo is created by vim and holds usage information, as well as a few other things. I believe vim configuration is stored in .vimrc. What is it you're trying to change? [02:28] just talked around at #gentoo and they said i should simply use the mainline kernel... [02:28] im running Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22 [02:28] can someone help me set up mailutils [02:29] <_Nacho_> I'm wondering if anybody has the Airoscript working in Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits (specially injection menu) [02:29] when i run alsaconf it finds my soundcard [02:29] but when i run alsamixer - or gnome-alsamixer it doesn't show any channels [02:29] it just has a tab for Nvidia MPC78 HDMI [02:29] nd there's nothing in it [02:29] <_Nacho_> my problem is all works ok except that menu and obviouslly the injection is the most important in airoscript [02:29] paragonc: are you trying to use HDMI sound output? [02:29] ok rebooting on ubuntu [02:29] <_Nacho_> so .... any idea ? [02:29] now i am more confused -.- ubuntu-de says use mainline kernels, ubuntu says its not a good idea and gentoo on the third hand says use mainline kernels -.- [02:30] hi the best msn for linux ubuntu is pigdin? [02:30] pidgin* [02:30] sryque, somehow my settings are different. I have to hit everything a couple (esc and : is what I notice-- I'm usually only in vi for quickies when I don't feel like firing up geany) of times to get it to work. All text is green as well [02:30] r00ted: maybe try http://www.amsn-project.net/download.php === richard is now known as Guest53759 [02:31] e-i-k-e: Its really up to you if you want to use a mainline kernel or not, I don't reccomend it with ubuntu from past experience of trying to do so myself [02:31] e-i-k-e it's similar msn for windows? [02:31] Xaero, I can't get on any websites. Do you mind if I msg you the output from traceroute www.google.com ? [02:31] thats fine [02:31] Xaero: what was the worst that happened to your system? [02:32] Xaero: dont know what i should expect [02:32] has Canonical solved the Ubuntu crash? [02:32] ive looked all over the web for my situation, and have not found clear advice, understanding, or steps. the situation is ubuntu-desktop, 2 SSDs in a raid0, ext4. do i need a separate boot partition? can it be raid1? can the filesystem root be in the raid partition? [02:32] Guest53759: could you be less specific? [02:33] r00ted: never really used the orig. msn. always via pdiginportable on windows [02:33] e-i-k-e: well, because its ubuntu its pretty failsafe, I compiled and configured the kernel to my liking, got everything setup, added a line to grub, and rebooted to that grub line, that kernel wouldnt boot, so I simply booted into the previous kernel, and removed that grub entry [02:33] poseidon: feel free to msg me that tracert [02:33] i use emmessene.. but give me a lot of problem.. [02:33] now i try amsn === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:33] Xaero, did you get it? [02:34] poseidon, no [02:34] craigbass1976, Interesting. I'd rename your .viminfo and see if that fixes your problem. [02:34] does anyone dual boot vista and ubuntu ? [02:34] poseidon now I did [02:34] Xaero: okay... thanks for being so patient with me :) [02:34] how would one list a directory size, including all subfiles, without having to list all files and/or folders on the display (such as using du) [02:35] Jazz, i'm tri-booting windows 7, mint 7, and ubuntu 9.10 on a different machine === crackpot is now known as crackpot|linux [02:35] marks256: du -sh [02:35] poseidon: yes, I'm talking to you in private [02:36] How is that working for you Bill? === crackpot|linux is now known as crackpot|ubuntu [02:36] sryque, ok. Everything is still all green, but at least it's more responsive... I'm getting a late xmas present (new laptop) so I'll only have to worry about it for another month or so. :) [02:37] sryque, I'd uninstall vim and reinstall, but I don't know if there's a config file somewhere that will not get wiped in the process [02:37] Bill did you use wubi for the install? [02:37] craigbass1976, create a .vimrc file in your home directory with the contents: syntax on [02:37] it seems to be working fine. I have windows and mint on one 500GB SATA hard drive. I have ubuntu on a seperate IDE hard drive. I did not use wubi for the install [02:38] oi [02:38] hi im trying to upgrade mumble-server. I see the mumbe website has version 1.20 out and I have 1.17. But if I type 'apt-get install mumble-server' it says i have the latest installed [02:38] What is a good Ubuntu 9.10 AMDx64 compatible remote desktop SERVER? [02:38] hi [02:39] sryque, oops. It's still being retarded. [02:39] are you still here Slart? [02:40] bill are you using googles chome ? [02:40] xorg is so broken, i can't even use it to configure X. [02:41] ska I'm having problems with xorg to [02:41] mejobloggs: often, the ubuntu version will lag behind the most current version. This is a normal, and a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it means you don't get the latest features. On the other hand, you don't get the latest bugs either.... [02:41] craigbass1976, interesting -- so all text is showing up green? [02:41] can someone assist me in unrarring files with multiple parts? [02:41] i've tried unrar, but it always errors out on me [02:41] losha: hmmmm ok [02:41] yeah. I use chrome. I use it on windows at home and at work. I just installed it on my linux laptop. I haven't used it too much on linux yet === usuario-master_ is now known as Mata-Kbros [02:42] !emerald > APERSON [02:42] APERSON, please see my private message [02:42] kcj1993: I'm trying to modify xorg.conf, but I dont even know if that is the right way since the new Xorg upgrades. [02:42] If the linux version is as fast as the windows version, I will be using it almost exclusively. [02:42] sryque, no. Editing a php showed that MOST of the text was green. There was some syntax highlighting going on, but it wasn't so green a few weeks ago. I've just been too busy to mess with it until after Christmas. [02:43] ska: nope.. typically xrandr controls the stuff that use to be in xorg.. unless you're adding a tablet or some funky setup [02:43] I just started using it today and its fast I really like it [02:44] scunizi: i tried using the nvidia-setting and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that doesnt work right. [02:44] ska: are you trying to get the right resolution out of your card? [02:46] What is a good Ubuntu 9.10 AMDx64 compatible remote desktop SERVER? [02:46] ska, mine is using too much memory and i can't even find xorg.conf [02:47] kcj1993: xorg is in /etc/X11 .. what do you mean by "mine".. your video card? [02:48] I'm trying to get my DirecTV box set up to work in TVTime. I've got crystal-clear video, but I can't get anything but static from the audio. [02:49] hola [02:49] scunizi: no xorg.conf file in /ect/X11 [02:50] scunizi: and my mine i mean: "Why the hell is it using so much memory?" [02:50] kcj1993: they must have completely removed it for 9.10.. you *can* create your own and put it in that location.. what card/driver are you using? [02:50] Existe algun soft para cibers q pueda usar en UBUNTU? [02:51] scunizi: I'm using the driver that came with ubuntu and it's an ati chip [02:51] !es | issaec [02:51] issaec: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:51] sryque, this seems to be system wide... I was in a terminal, then su - mywife'sname. I did a vi test.php and am looking at the same green with the same "have to hit a key twice for a response" type of behavior. This was after an apt-get remove (and then an install) vim [02:52] kcj1993, in 9.10 gdm is run by upstart. /etc/init/xdm.conf [02:52] ok, gracias xD [02:52] Younder: what? [02:53] Man, what a buzz kill [02:53] kcj1993: yea.. I was struggling with an ati card earlier on my son's computer.. it's a radeon 9600 (av350 or something), older and it also uses the stock driver since there is nothing listed in Hardware Drivers.. it's pretty slow.. never checked to see how much mem it was using but I'll bet a bunch.. my machine has an nvidia.. much easier to configure [02:53] Last time ubuntu was find with my ati card. This time.. Black screen of death [02:53] kcj1993, on the whole, sysv initialization is being deprecated for the event driven upstart which is much easier to maintain. Howver it still does a sysv style initialization for some things like Apache [02:54] I'm having issues using MonoDevelop 2.2 on ubuntu 9.10 regarding the GTK namespace not being found. I have libgtk-cli installed and the dlls are located on my system... is there something i need to be updating the MonoDevelop settings with to find the libraries? [02:54] scunizi: the stock driver sucks [02:55] kcj1993: yep.. [02:55] Guest52613: Hello Fred? [02:55] I'm trying to get my DirecTV box set up to work in TVTime. I've got crystal-clear video, but I can't get anything but static from the audio. [02:55] I cannot install ubuntu on my machine [02:55] the installer fails [02:55] can some one help me? [02:55] scunizi: anything i can do about it? [02:56] craigbass1976, the issue may then lie in your /etc/vim/vimrc file [02:56] zoke: alternative install? [02:56] kcj1993, what is that ? [02:56] where is the routing table on ubuntu? [02:57] zoke: The alternative install CD is a text-mode installer, which is available from the Ubuntu website. [02:57] kcj1993: you could try installing the ati binary blob.. but do a lot of reading on the correct method.. including researching if their driver is compatible with your card and xorg 7.1+ .. some cards aren't.. also you'll probably have to reinstall with each kernel upgrade [02:57] tvjudge, it is in the route command of course :) [02:57] Kelvari I will look into that [02:57] scunizi: oh no [02:58] kcj1993: installing dkms sometimes helps with the kernel upgrades. [02:58] tvjudge, apps> accessories> terminal [02:58] how can I run a script on resume (karmic)? [02:58] !dkms [02:58] DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [02:58] ubottu fonts > Guest51176 [02:58] Guest51176, please see my private message [02:59] sryque, Ahhhh... So I uninstalled vim, saw /etc/vim there still, did a mv vim vim.bak. Then I installed vim again, and those files didn't get recreated. Weird. [02:59] scunizi: maybe it will get fixed in an update [02:59] hello te [02:59] ubottu fonts > mrclean [02:59] mrclean, please see my private message [02:59] craigbass1976: uninstall using remove or purge? [03:00] kcj1993: one can only hope :) [03:00] Hello Guys, could someone indulge me a minute and explain how I install the Veetle player from this link? http://www.veetle.com/download.php I DL'ed the self contained installer, but when i go to run it wants me to choose a program to open it with. [03:00] craigbass1976: it's likely vim-common that contains that file, (dpkg -S /etc/vim will tell you) also, you'll need to purge, not just remove. [03:00] My brother's computer's CD drive has broken. He has a small partiton with Fedora, and a large empty partition. Is there any way he could install ubuntu onto the empty partition from fedora? or, could I, using Ubuntu on my machine, SSH into his system while he's running fedora, and install it over the network to the empty partition? [03:00] kcj1993: ati's been like this for the last couple of releases [03:00] scunizi: I never had any issues before 9.10 [03:00] gsr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has instructions for a variety of creative methods (including from another linux install, from a USB thumbdrive, over SSH, etc) [03:00] Flannel: danke [03:01] yeah 9.10 has a few issues unfortunately [03:01] many issues [03:01] I got black screen of death when i used the restricted drivers manager to install ATI driver [03:01] had to reinstall [03:01] I should have mentioned that I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 === crackpot is now known as crackpot|ubuntu [03:01] before i mess again i'll switch to run level three so i can atleast get a command line if it breaks again [03:02] ATI Driver... then you have something to do... [03:02] I hope 10.04 will be good [03:02] :wq Uncle... [03:03] what do you mean justin_ ? [03:03] kcj1993: it has everything to do with ati and almost nothing to do with ubuntu [03:03] I had high hopes with 9.01 [03:03] 9.10* [03:03] when uninstallation, using apt-get -purge instead of-remove [03:03] scunizi: but isn't the driver OSS now? [03:04] yes [03:04] gsr: if you have ubuntu on your machine, you can create a startup USB key. System>Administration>USB Startup Disk Creator [03:04] kcj1993: yes.. but in their latest design they left out quite a number of cards [03:04] bill_ what is a usb start up key ? [03:04] scunizi: oh [03:05] kcj1993: things should improve.. [03:05] I hope [03:05] hey, anyone know if its possible to enable timed login in 9.10 [03:05] what is the best text editor to write code in for ubuntu 9.10? [03:05] ATI official driver works [03:05] where is the grub menu.lst in 9.10? [03:05] microhaxo, depends on the language [03:05] geany, quanta, eclipse...etc etc [03:05] !grub1 | brianherman [03:05] just depends on your needs [03:05] grub or grub2 ? [03:05] kcj1993: also, when something goes open source, that doesn't automatically make it better than the original. Someone has to step in and improve the code, and until that is done, it won't be any better than the original. [03:06] hey, on my grandpa's Karmic box atm, trying to get flightgear working for him, but one of it's deps (odbcinst1debian1) won't install [03:06] I will be writing C [03:06] !grub2 | brianherman [03:06] brianherman: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:06] but i want to use GCC to compile via terminal so no fancy ide [03:06] microhaxo: vim :) [03:06] HTT-Bird, that's what I was going to say. [03:06] or geany. [03:06] brian: great minds think alike :D [03:06] microhaxo, try joe editoer [03:06] its got a terminal in it as well. so you can multi task right there [03:06] ardchoille: if only I could code [03:07] Hello. How can I resize a partition with parted? I tried `resize 1`, confirmed START and entered new END but get "Error: Could not detect file system." [03:07] get a gparted live cd and boot into it [03:07] HTT-Bird: this is on a netbook so i'll check it out and see! [03:07] HTT-Bird: any errors about odbcinst1debian1? [03:08] IdleOne: No candidate version found for odbcinst1debian1 [03:08] only error aptitude gives me when I try to install it [03:08] sudo apt-get install geany [03:08] HTT-Bird: what version of ubuntu? [03:08] oh karmic [03:09] Is there any compiz support for VIA K8M800 S3 UniChrome Pro IGP? [03:09] Is there a --just-resize-dont-check-file-system option in parted? [03:09] wth, is vim terminal only? [03:10] microhaxo: gvim is the graphical form [03:10] VIM is very basic lol [03:10] microhaxo: if you want a GUI version use gvim [03:10] lmao i was like [03:10] what the heck [03:10] my netbook is only 10" [03:10] brian: vim looks basic, but it's EXTREMELY powerful, and unlike emacs, you don't need foot pedals :D [03:10] microhaxo, try "joe" it is a good editor, trust me.. vim is difficult to use [03:10] so that would suck hard. [03:10] lol [03:10] how can I run a script on resume (karmic)? [03:10] foot pedals [03:10] dios_mio: vim isn't that bad once you get used to it [03:10] lol [03:10] yea, theres a learning curve with the key strokes [03:11] but its powerful, no doubt [03:11] HTT-Bird, it was designed for ancient keyboards with no arrow keys [03:11] microhaxo: Try vimtutor if you are new to vim [03:11] dios_mio: arrow keys work quite nicely in vim :) [03:11] the modality does take some getting used to, but it does mean you won't need foot pedals to use it [03:12] yea. im a geany guy for simple stuff. [03:12] * andrew_46 searches for the pedals....... [03:12] but i like to use my feet :) [03:12] anyone have google chrome?

[03:13] DrManhattan, hey :) [03:13] Is there any compiz support for VIA K8M800 S3 UniChrome Pro IGP? [03:13] karma_police: Running it on a different distro though [03:13] karma_police: browser? yep [03:13] it always resizes itself when you close it and reopen it [03:13] good evening dios_mio [03:13] HTT-Bird: nope, that package is in the karmic repos. guess you could get the deb from packages.ubuntu.com and install it [03:13] DrManhattan, ishai? [03:13] IdleOne: hmm...aptitude says its a 'c' [03:14] karma_police: no [03:14] Tired of those feral negroid beasts and their monkeyshines? Are you uncomfortable with those Nazi-like groups? We have the forum for you! Chimpout Forum! At Chimpout we are not White Supremacists! We welcome anybody who isn't a nigger and who hates niggers! Thats right!

[03:14] How do you change the resolution of the Virtual Terminal's? [03:15] karma_police: I couldn't tell you. It's already maximized when i open it. I can only suggest making sure that it's maxiized when you close it. It may remember the window position. [03:15] that's just a guess though... [03:15] scunizi: ive tried everything. I cant get my card to do more that 640x*** [03:15] wers: FFmpeg + a for loop would be the commandline way [03:15] ska: have you seen the resolution wiki that walks you through using xrandr? [03:15] is there a screen saver that i can have execute like vlc with a preloaded playlist in it? [03:15] !resolution > ska [03:15] ska, please see my private message [03:16] andrew_46, how about gui? :D [03:16] i want my screen savers to fire up some movie trailers on my customer access machines [03:16] wers: Unfortunately I am a commandline sort of guy :( [03:16] I found how to add a script on resume from suspend on Karmic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsynaptics/+bug/303595 [03:16] IdleOne: what does that c mean?

[03:21] :O [03:21] microhaxo: check the properties and setup for gedit.. it's capable of syntax display [03:21] microhaxo: gedit's a decent editor too :) [03:21] andrew_46, cool! I'll try this! :) [03:21] I use it for some light duty stuff [03:21] Yea, i might just keep messing around with gedit, get number lines and proper text wrapping. [03:21] and they say they support open source lol [03:21] Hello. I'm on Hardy Heron and I installed the multithreaded version of mplayer. When I do "mplayer -lavdopts threads=2 foobar.mkv", it does two threads, when I put "lavdopts=threads=2" in ~/.mplayer/config , it makes three threads. How can I make it only do two?

[03:46] kainektisis84: hey keeping the conversation in here instead of PM would be best [03:46] HTT-Bird: not sure... how would I know [03:46] gbear14275: ls /dev/hd* and see [03:46] oh wait one sec HTT-Bird I'll look in /dev [03:46] yeah, look in /dev :) [03:46] allright ben my screen res is at 800x600 [03:47] i am not good at using terminal [03:47] i can copy but thats about it [03:47] what video card and ubuntu version [03:47] HTT-Bird: no hd*... lots of sd* but I think those are all my partitions [03:47] i don't have any clue how to find out what card i'm using, but i am using ubuntu 9.04 [03:47] edbian, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7bd595b5 [03:47] gbear14275: how many hard drives do you have? [03:47] it a toshiba laptop from windows xp era [03:48] HTT-Bird: just one... laptop [03:48] I have a few partitions thouhg [03:48] wait, yeah :d [03:48] so you should have /dev/sdaX for your hard disk [03:48] gletob, reading... [03:48] a /dev/sdb that is your cd/dvd [03:48] Can anyone help me with the boot problem please? [03:48] IdleOne, i want the truth, and the lie :) [03:48] kainektisis84: open a terminal, type "lspci | grep -i vga" and paste the result here [03:48] gletob, Do you understand /etc/fstab ?? [03:48] and anything above that = your SD card slots :) [03:48] brian: the truth is 9.10 is not buggy [03:49] ok.... [03:49] edbian, What it does yes, commands, options, and variable's: no [03:49] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82) [03:49] so whats all the hub-bub about then? [03:49] HTT-Bird: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347915/ [03:49] brian: that was also a the lie [03:49] lol. [03:49] -a [03:50] HTT-Bird: sda1-sda9 are my paritions [03:50] So whats with the wireless driver issues on broadcom cards that worked fine on 9.04 and not 9.10? [03:50] How can I stop memtest86 to run everytime when I restart? [03:50] gletob, well if you look at the man page for "mount" you can look up all of those options. It says "defaults" should be translated to "rw,suid,dev,exec,auot,nouser,async" [03:50] kainektisis84: and what resolution is it supposed to be at [03:50] or the OSD being x amount of pixels from the corner. [03:50] (more of an aesthetic awkardness than anything) [03:50] brian: karmic works perfect for me. different setups have different issues. Not all the hardware setups can be tested so any distro will have some bugs at release. You can help by reporting any bugs you have at launchpad.net [03:51] gletob, But you're reporting that /boot is being mounted ro (read only) is that right? I suggest adding rw to that line so that it reads defaults,rw [03:51] yeah [03:51] 1024x768. in the display panel it doesn't even list 1024x768 as an option. the highest it goes to is 800x600 [03:51] my Debian Squeeze lappy has hardware issues even :P [03:51] I understand that IdleOne . I have just had more issues with 9.10 then any previous version of Ubuntu I've used. [03:51] basically i have about an inch and a half of black around my ubuntu [03:51] gbear14275: dunno what's going on [03:52] so it could be just a single bad experience for me, and not really widespread. [03:52] but I have presents to open, belatedly [03:52] for updatedb what is PRUNEPATHS for? does that mean those paths are not searched? [03:52] o/ [03:52] gletob, What makes you say that it's mounted read only? In other words, how do you know? [03:52] HTT-Bird: darn... :( [03:52] kainektisis84: yeah, i'm just not sure how to change the res and make it work in 9.04 [03:52] HTT-Bird: me niether... thanks for the help [03:52] hopefully someone else here can take over [03:52] brian: 9.10 has also had some major changes done to it in preparation for 10.04 the next LTS release === Guest70443 is now known as matt_ [03:52] brian, I find that the new releases are buggy. I prefered to use a release that was ony cycle old for that reason [03:52] is there a different ubuntu version that you do know how to work? [03:52] 9.04 doesn't have a xorg.conf iirc [03:53] hey guys is there any way i can get movie maker in my unbentu ?> [03:53] no ben i think i have been into the xorg.conf file before i just didn't know what to edit [03:53] edbian, well that's embarasing, apparently it's not. I was trying to edit my grub.cfg file. [03:53] haresh, What do you mean? windows movie maker? [03:53] kainektisis84: open a terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [03:53] I believe my Windows partition has a virus in it, so I'm hiding in Ubuntu. Can anyone recommend an antivirus application that runs on Linux, to scan my Windows partition? [03:53] i think i got to it by typing gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:54] is it possible to enable timed login in 9.10 [03:54] gletob, ha ha I think the issue you're arriving at is that you need to be root to work on files outside your home (like system configuration of any kind) [03:54] Yea. I know that 9.10 is a prep for the LTR [03:54] brian, LTS* [03:55] hello everyone, I am unable to use 'cp' with a file name stored in a variable.... first i type: x="/home/zubair/Pictures/Photos/Chengdu-Street-Shots/Jin Li/2006_06_10/Jin Li -2.tif" and it is followed by cp "$x" -t shots/ ...it says no such file .. [03:55] What should i use on ubuntu to burn a dvd [03:55] k3b [03:55] Ricket, I think clamav can do that. However I recommend you just never return to windows! ;) [03:55] well iso [03:55] edbian, I know that, i'm running gedit with gksudo but it says You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. [03:55] haresh_: Have you considered running windows in a virtual machine? [03:55] or brasero [03:55] edbian: haha, unfortunately Linux hardly supports my Wacom tablet, among other reasons, so I do have to use Windows from time to time. Thanks, I'll check out clamav! :) [03:55] gletob, That is odd! You are correct then, it is being mounted as read only. [03:56] digitalaxis, k3b or brasero [03:56] edbian, but I just figured out I can write files to /boot [03:56] i0x71: I saw, thankyou. [03:56] should these still be in my /boot/vmlinuz folder? /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-15-server /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-17-server [03:56] how do i restart updatedb? [03:56] gletob, so the error is incorrect? [03:56] it looks like im running the right kernel [03:56] uname -r returns 2.6.31-17-generic-pae [03:56] edbian, yes [03:56] But some of the frustrations I have with it have caused me to think about working with Intrepid. === sludge is now known as Dante123 [03:56] i0x71: I switched to ubuntu from SW, going back to SW lol === alexandre is now known as Guest97034 [03:56] gletob, that is strange.... [03:57] so i got compiz and the close animation works but when i minimize nothing happens what can I do? [03:57] gletob, Can you figure out more specifically where you can and cannot write? (I mean underneath /boot) [03:57] Guest72290, Install the compizconfig-settings-manager and customize compiz to your heart's delight! [03:57] digitalaxis, whats SW [03:57] spO: sudo updatedb [03:57] i0x71, SlackWare [03:57] ooh [03:58] digitalaxis, thats a big jump [03:58] paragonc: does dpkg -l linux-image*-server list anything? [03:58] edbian: dont I already hav it since i can use the cube and other compiz effects [03:58] digitalaxis: Running 13.0 here with Ubuntu vms = the best of both worlds :) [03:58] if i type updatedb ... then, it just hangs there... it does not go into background [03:58] i0x71, Not a fan of ubuntu, too much GUI usage lol === Guest72290 is now known as tsuna27 [03:58] I googled on this memtest86 problem but can't find answer. Do I need to reformat my computer? [03:58] sp0: it's not supposed to go in the background [03:58] spO: that's cause it's updating.. [03:58] trism: quite a bit [03:58] digitalaxis, heh bet ya get used to all shell n xfce [03:59] anything that would hold the average ubuntu user from going 64 bit???? [03:59] it has entries for 3 [03:59] Noob101: what problem [03:59] Guest72290, There is compiz (which actually creates the effects) and then there is the settings manager (an enormously complicated setting dialog for compiz) The settings manager is not required to run compiz. Do you have the settings manager installed already?? [03:59] Dante123: not having a 64bit cpu [03:59] i0x71, Using a program to burn a iso is new to me lol [03:59] lack of packages for some things, Daniel_G [03:59] i0x71: Many slackware users are big kde fans [03:59] paragonc: uninstall those to remove the old server kernels from before you upgraded [03:59] Dante123, . [03:59] hey fellows I might need some help here... [03:59] trism - how do i uninstall those? [03:59] tsuna27, There is a simple settings manager and the standard one. I prefer the standard one. It is much more powerful. [03:59] edbian: how do i know if it is installed? [04:00] tsuna27, Does it show up in system -> preferences ?? [04:00] andrew_46, Im a xfce fan\ [04:00] kind of noob with Ubuntu (Linux at all) and I'm having some troubles with Compiz-Fusion. [04:00] Ben64: I just installed ubuntu karmic andafter I reboot PC everytime it keep running the memtest86 [04:00] trism: http://pastebin.com/d6bae4624 [04:00] other than that.....btw I do have a 64 bit cpu [04:00] edbian: yeah i got the compizcongid settings manager [04:00] paragonc: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.27-15-server; for example [04:00] tsuna27, Go into it [04:00] Noob101: have you tried selecting ubuntu from the grub list instead of memtest [04:01] Dante123, not quite the application selection on x64. But other than that, nothing. [04:01] Dante123: dunno, i have 64bit and everything is awesome [04:01] k il give it a shot - then what do i do? [04:01] tsuna27, I don't remember the exact location but I think it's part of the animations dialog... [04:01] tsuna27, Does that makes sense? [04:01] Go for it Dante123 . Just do it :) [04:01] digitalaxis: You may recognise xfce in the background of my own setup: http://www.andrews-corner.org/samples/photoshop.png [04:01] paragonc: after you remove them, those kernels will be gone from /boot, so you're done === adam is now known as Guest23907 [04:01] any issues running virtualbox??/ [04:01] edbian: I can edit the close animation, but no matter what I do to the minimize animation noting changes [04:02] Dante123: i don't run it, so dunno [04:02] tsuna27, Turn off the separate and annoyling confusing minimize plugin [04:02] trism - should i reboot? [04:02] edbian: how [04:02] Ben64 : Sorry I am completly new to ubuntu. What is grub list? [04:02] trying to get my sound to work in 9.10 [04:02] I have an HP DV6. No sound : (. I downloaded, compiled, and installed the alsa driver package. Now aplay -l gives me devices as opposed to no devices before. Yet now sound. [04:02] Dante123: nope.. runs great.. I use the one from their site for the usb support [04:02] when I type : "compiz" i'm getting the following : Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [04:02] No Sound* [04:03] andrew_46, Ah, never tried xubuntu, with a 6k rig, no need for it lol [04:03] tsuna27, Look for the separate minimize plugin. Do you see what I'm talking about? [04:03] Noob101: when you turn on the computer theres a list of things to boot, with a timer counting down usually 10 secs to choose [04:03] anyone ? [04:03] paragonc: no, it shouldn't affect anything, as long as you didn't remove your current kernel [04:03] Baube: Pastebin you /var/log/Xorg.0.log file [04:03] tsuna27, uncheck it's box [04:03] digitalaxis: That is Slackware 13.0 :) [04:03] digitalaxis, What is a 6k rig? [04:03] andrew_46, Lol why use a xubuntu icon on a sw setup [04:04] digitalaxis, I know what a rig is... but 6k? [04:04] edbian, I have spent 6k+ on it [04:04] does updatedb have problems with mounted drives? [04:04] digitalaxis: why [04:04] edbian: it is inchecked [04:04] digitalaxis, oooo. It is probably pretty fast then huh. [04:04] andrew_46, Why would you use a xubuntu logo, the rats are ugly [04:04] sp0: by default i think updatedb skips /media/ [04:04] did anyone ever get x11rdp working on x64? [04:04] help me? how to restore boot loader ? [04:05] digitalaxis: That is xfce default [04:05] lol [04:05] edbian: lies. he has 6k of eprom and an 8051 [04:05] xvnc is too busted for modern desktop environments [04:05] tsuna27, Really? I don't know why your minimize effects settings are not being applied. The only thing I can suggest is that somewhere in your compiz settings something is conflicting [04:05] Ben65: No it doesn't reach the countdown part yet. I have to use f8 get it PC to boot for Live CD [04:05] ben64: I work with computers for a living, edbian: Yes quite, my cpu alone is clocked to around 4.3ghz [04:05] digitalaxis, But can it answer the question to life, the universe and everything? [04:05] digitalaxis: give stats [04:05] 42 [04:06] ben sorry i don't know what happened [04:06] ubottu grub | agusj [04:06] agusj: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [04:06] i got to the xorg.conf file [04:06] andrew_46, nope i want a linux version of movie maker [04:06] edbian: The answer is 64 [04:06] ben64: Im on my laptop right now making burning my new 64bit SW13 iso [04:06] digitalaxis, I'm pretty sure it's 42... [04:06] 00101010 [04:06] kainektisis84: cool [04:06] lol' [04:06] haresh_: check out LiVeS on www.getdeb.net [04:06] what is this file for exactly [04:07] edbian: That was before the universe budget increased [04:07] digitalaxis: i just wanna hear what you spent $6000 on [04:07] Ben64: No it doesn't reach the countdown part yet. I have to use f8 get it PC to boot for Live CD [04:07] trism: those entries are still there [04:07] kainektisis84: the gui environment [04:07] digitalaxis, Oh, I didn't realize! Pardon me. [04:07] Noob101: huh?? [04:07] haresh_: I suspect Movie Maker is owned by Microsoft and they will not make a Linux version [04:07] I have installed ubuntu 9.10 with boot loader, but after install 7.04 on same hard disk, I cannot see 9.10 [04:08] haresh, I sincerely doubt it as well. [04:08] agusj: DId you tell it to load the boot loader into MBR? [04:08] agusj: Or not? [04:08] damn it anyone know if there is timed login in ubuntu 9.10 [04:08] ben what do you want me to do from here [04:09] kainektisis84: copy+paste it all to http://pastebin.com/ [04:09] i0x71: elicidate pl0x [04:09] I dont understand, filesystems on karmic is ext4 === kc2 is now known as manaf [04:09] haresh_: You may be interested to know that vlc will produce something similar soon [04:09] Ben64: digitalaxis lies. .. over clocked cpu to 4.3ghz.. right [04:09] paragonc: what entries? the kernels in /boot? [04:09] Ben64: when I reboot I don't think it get to the list where there is timer countdown. It just rum memtest86 over and over [04:09] bastid_raZor: it's possible to oc that much [04:09] is updatedb used by any system processes or is it mostly just a user thing? [04:10] Noob101: right before it runs memtest, it is at the list [04:10] trism: dpkg -l linux-image*-server [04:10] ben64: Phase change cooling, dual 295's, i7-975 bloomfield, evga 170-E7G2, thermaltake level 10 case, dont remember what psu i have in [04:10] yea, an amd 955 can OC to that. [04:10] paragonc: yeah, but they are probably rc instead of ii [04:10] plenty of intel cpus can do that [04:10] bastid_raZor, you can buy CPU's with a baseline 4ghz now genius [04:10] digitalaxis, I LOVE the level 10 case! [04:10] sp0: it should run automatically every night [04:10] spO: updatedb typically isn't "turned on" by default but is after running sudo updatedb.. it indexes files so you can use the locate command easier. [04:10] the Level 10 case is sweet. [04:10] Not exactly practical, but sweet. [04:10] alright ben i pasted it to the website under same chat name [04:11] anonbadger, say wha [04:11] edbian: I actually got it a couple days ago for christmas from my boss lol [04:11] kainektisis84: you need to give me the link it gave you [04:11] digitalaxis, You have one hell of a boss! [04:11] still nothing i can not enable any minimize effects [04:11] agusj: You installed an older version of Ubuntu to dual boot between it and 9.10? Is that what you've done? [04:11] Ben64 : Is it a second screen that say "Press del to enter set .................Pree any botton to continue"? [04:11] edbian: I work at linden [04:12] paragonc: make sure you didn't remove linux-image-server package, in karmic this just points to linux-image-generic-pae which is what you're using [04:12] it didn't give me a link it gave me a posted date and time [04:12] i have a FAT32 partition that just started showing only a few of the files that are on it, but df -h still shows it has all 11gb of my files, how do i get the rest to show up? [04:12] edbian: I am a senior software designer for SL [04:12] Noob101: it's after that, grub loads memtest, so it's the last thing before memtest runs [04:12] is byobu installed by default on server edition? === cs_ is now known as asdfqwer [04:12] SL? [04:12] digitalaxis, I'm impressed. I'm also very happy to hear that you use linux :) [04:12] kainektisis84: it redirects you to the page you're supposed to paste here [04:12] http://pastebin.com/m260438b5 [04:13] brian: Second Life, its what we make at Linden Labs [04:13] I figured it was Second life, just wasn't sure. [04:13] though we may be releasing a new game within the next couple years, so stay tuned:-P [04:13] really? [04:13] lol :) [04:13] Beb64: Ok, so what do I do with that? [04:13] i have never played 2nd Life. [04:13] digitalaxis: SL is game? :) [04:13] Noob101: choose something besides memtest [04:13] anyone know if there is timed login in ubuntu 9.10 [04:13] derenrich: More of a lifestyle and/or addiction to most. [04:14] yeah [04:14] derenrich, A second life if you will [04:14] digitalaxis: brian derenrich as much as I enjoy the banter.. it is really off topic and belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:14] haresh_: The new video editor: http://vlmc.org/ [04:14] digitalaxis: i've always found things like that cool ideas ala neuromancer/snowcrash [04:14] sorry [04:14] haresh_: Not released yet [04:14] leave [04:14] digitalaxis if you could make something g-rated for kids that could be educational for use at school, with classroom teacher...that would be great [04:14] he has a point, shall we move over?

I am having a nightmare getting pptp VPN to work [04:15] I am desperate [04:15] i have a FAT32 partition that just started showing only a few of the files that are on it, but df -h still shows it has all 11gb of my files, how do i get the rest to show up? [04:15] Im a teacher and do a lot with computers....but Second Life is a no go with elementary kids for the adult themes etc. [04:15] on 9.10 [04:15] Derenrich, dante, brian, etc: Lets hop over to offtopic [04:15] did that link work ben [04:16] kainektisis84: paste this right after line 26 http://pastebin.com/m1a0764a0 [04:16] brian: There is a youtube clip somewhere [04:16] Yea. I saw the clip + feature list. [04:16] just didn't know if a working build was out [04:17] brian: If you are brave build it from git [04:17] brave? [04:17] lol [04:17] if i update from 8.10 to 9.10 will it delete all my compiz settings and firefox stuff? [04:17] bmk789, Perhaps it's index and actual data are messed up. Have you tried running that disk usage analyzer on it? It actually follows the file tree. [04:17] tsuna27, It should not. [04:17] tsuna27: you can't upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10 directly, you need to upgrade through 9.04, and no, it shouldn't [04:18] tsuna27: backup! [04:18] tsuna27: Flannel is correct, you need to do incremental updates. [04:18] alright ben do you want me to save and close the file? [04:18] kainektisis84: yes [04:18] Ben64: If the last screen before it run memtest doesn't have a list what should I do? [04:18] ok now what [04:19] how do u do incremental updates [04:19] kainektisis84: log out and back in [04:19] man grub 2 screwed my windows 7 installation [04:19] log out of ubuntu? [04:19] kainektisis84: yes [04:19] Noob101: dunno what to say, maybe you installed ubuntu incorrectly [04:19] tsuna27: run the upgrade manager it will offer 9.04 when that is complete you will do it again to get 9.10 [04:19] tsuna27, Open the update manager. It should have a button near the top. [04:19] tsuna27: open the update module.. in System > Admin and you'll see a button at the top for the next version [04:20] Hello. I just installed xubuntu on a PIII 700 MHz laptop. Any idea why it takes 4 minutes to open a shell? [04:20] hrmm ok - gonna back up and do a clean install [04:20] kk [04:20] god damn it - my mac usb drive is hfs and this is mounting as read only [04:20] Ben64: O no, Thanks any way though. [04:20] vlt: you could try using the netinst version [04:20] how do i make the USB drive writable? [04:21] vlt: slow computer. [04:21] will I ahve any trouble if I direct my profile in firefox in Ubuntu to one stored on amounted disk in WIndows? [04:21] vlt: How much memory? [04:21] will I ahve any trouble if I direct my profile in firefox in Ubuntu to one stored on a mounted disk in WIndows? [04:21] vlt: you can use this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:21] te: Yes, but running other OS works ok. What makes Ubuntu that slow? [04:21] is there a way to change the resolution of the svideo output while having a different resolution for the VGA output [04:21] giiker, Do you mean to say that the mounted disk in formatted ntfs and that you're doing this all in ubuntu? [04:22] paragonc: you might not "own" it.. so find it's mount point .. something like /media/usb-0 or something.. and then sudo chown /media/ [04:22] vlt, How much ram do you have? [04:22] vlt: What other OS? [04:22] vlt: that will install nothing a shell will open in a bout a minute for you. [04:22] edbian: yes, I have no problem mounting the disk, I just think something might go worng using a profile from windows thatś all [04:22] giiker, I don't think that will cause any problems. That is, if I understand what you're trying to do. [04:23] te: Microsoft Windows 2000 for example. I've seen someone opening a shell there in about 3 seconds. [04:23]  hello everyone, I am unable to use 'cp' with a file name stored in a variable.... first i type: x="/home/zubair/Pictures/Photos/Chengdu-Street-Shots/Jin Li/2006_06_10/Jin Li -2.tif" and it is followed by cp "$x" -t shots/ ...it says no such file .. [04:23] vlt: MS 2k is 9 years old [04:24] hi [04:24] where is ben64? where is he?! you are freaking awesome ben64 I don't know how you people know what the hell you are doing but you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [04:24] zahmed: use export [04:24] i have aproblem [04:24] zahmed, single quotes instead of double quotes? Just a shot in the dark. [04:24] te: Yes. But what makes Ubuntu that slow? [04:24] listen to ben64 [04:24] kainektisis84: i take it that worked? [04:24] edbian: Well I will jsut edit the profiles.ini file in the firefox profile directory, I will point it to the path of the profile stored in wondows [04:24] vlt: Ctrl-Alt-F6 [04:24] yes it worked beautifully [04:24] kainektisis84: awesome.. :D [04:24] @edbian, but that would stop variable expansion [04:24] vlt: Ubuntu is not slow. Your computer is. [04:24] giiker, I'm not sure the profile is stored the same way. I don't know giiker try it out! :) What's to lose? [04:25] zahmed, I don't really understand double vs. single quotes. I was just guessing [04:25] honestly ben did you go to school to learn this stuff or am i just an idiot [04:25] zahmed: export x="abcde" [04:25] i learned everything on my own [04:25] kainektisis84, You're just new ;) [04:25] breaking then fixing my compy [04:25] edbian: my profile? :) I guess there is not other way, wait, I have virtuabox, I will try it using virtualbox! [04:25] Ben64, What did you help him with? [04:25] edbian: resolution [04:25] Ben64, Did you have him edit /etc/xorg.conf ? [04:26] it's a common problem in here, and seems i'm the only one who can create modelines [04:26] te: What version of Ubuntu can i install to experience nearly the same speed for simple tasks like I get on a 9 years old OS? [04:26] giiker, There ya go! That's good thinking [04:26] edbian: yep [04:26] vlt: You can not put a modern OS on a computer that old. You could install xfce as a window manager and it will be a lot faster. [04:26] my top panel wont change colours at the right and left but the middle will [04:26] Ben64: maybe you should write a wiki page :) [04:26] te: This _is_ XFCE [04:26] Ben64, I'll look at the conversation. I would love to know how to help more people. You're right, it is so common. [04:26] yes ben you really do need to write a wiki page [04:26] vlt: Then that is as good as it gets. [04:27] edbian: Double quotes allow the variable to be expanded. Try the difference between echo '$HOME' and echo "$HOME" [04:27] hmmmm [04:27] Protip: http://tinyurl.com/fixres <-- my collection of super secret generic modelines for common resolutions [04:27] vlt: What you have is a very slow computer with a very powerful OS on it. You need a faster computer with more memory. [04:27] vlt: I think xubuntu-desktop is just bloated and is no faster than GNOME. Try core Lxde, maybe? [04:27] i want to tell you something. I have been trying to fix this problem for at least 48 man hours without any chat and just the internet and nobody knows what they are doing [04:27] kainektisis84, [04:27] kinja-sheep: What is lxde? A distro? [04:28] vlt: Desktop environment. Like GNOME, XFCE, KDE, blackbox, etc. [04:28] can i make you my buddy ben [04:28] kainektisis84: buddy where [04:28] in pidgin [04:28] Ben64, How did you learn to wright those mode lines?? [04:28] i don't really do IM that much [04:29] kainektisis84: r@gmail.com is my email though [04:29] no thats fine. you just know what you are doing and i want to be sure that i can find you again if i run into problems [04:29] vlt: lxde looks very interesting. [04:30] Ben64, I understand the resolutions, how do you determine all of those other numbers on each line? [04:30] * kinja-sheep jot down the email address in his little black book. [04:30] edbian: a bit of trickery and grabbing from other confs [04:30] Ben64, ha ha ha [04:30] any PPC user here? [04:30] I mean Ubuntu PPC [04:30] my top panel wont change colours at the right and left but the middle will [04:30] Ben64, Do you guessed then?? [04:30] edbian: nah [04:30] vlt: If you're just messing around and testing stuffs, you can try lubuntu-desktop, I suppose. I'm due to test that sometimes on my netbook. [04:31] Ben64: is that from your xorg.conf? or the newer xrandr conf file [04:31] it's important to have them work, i got good ones, so i pasted it forever [04:31] ben you are r@gmail.com? [04:31] kainektisis84: no... ben64r ..... at gmail [04:31] i just don't want to type it here, cause this channel gets logged [04:31] Ben64, Ic ic I supposed I could look at the man page? [04:31] and spam = bad [04:31] Ben64, PM it to them [04:31] edbian: you could, it's probably no help [04:32] You cant put xubuntu on a 2001 computer? Sure you can as long as it has at least 512mb of memory [04:32] edbian: oh yeah, duh lol [04:32] !help [04:32] my mind corrects your name to "debian" [04:32] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:32] Ben64, I'm saving that pastebin for my personal use === cs_ is now known as asdfqwer [04:32] kinja-sheep, te: I want to use this notebook for firefox (or similar) and thunderbird only. [04:32] @Cpudan80: export doesnt help [04:32] edbian: with great power comes great responsibility [04:33] i'm just sad theres no xorg.conf in 9.10, dunno how to fix stuff there [04:33] asdf [04:33] zahmed: should, what exactly are you typing ? [04:33] grrr im getting this when i run fdisk -l [04:33] Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table === Voss_ is now known as Voss [04:33] vlt: You could just run X with no window manager. [04:33] vlt, so whats the problem? [04:33] Ben64, I think it will read from it if you add one right? [04:33] vlt: That is fine. :) [04:33] but when it automounts it shows all my partitions [04:33] but it doesnt mnt hfs properly [04:33] edbian: not sure, haven't tested that yet [04:34] paragonc: hfs is the apple file sys isn't it? [04:34] how do i get a networkmanager back i removed it from my panel and I cant get it back even with the "add to panels thing" how do i re add it? [04:34] scunzi - yes [04:34] Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, playing a new DVD, it says "cannot read from source", so i go to eject it, and it won't come out of the drive and is unmonted. [04:35] Psinetic: type "eject -r" on the command line [04:35] psi, restart your computer and eject manually [04:35] Cpudan80:i type export x="/home/zubair/Pictures/Photos/sample/one folder/one file" ...then... file "$x" gives error [04:35] paragonc: I'm not sure but I believe that isn't really supported 100%.. kinda like ntfs.. although I believe they've done a much better job at reverse engineering ntfs [04:35] zahmed: the error being? [04:36] zahmed: might need to do export x='abcde' (single ') [04:36] Cpudan80, i did that, and it gave me: eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error.....guess i'll have to restart the computer [04:36] hmm [04:36] strange [04:36] vlt: open a terminal and type this "mount | grep "on /\ " | grep -o ^........ | xargs -n1 -i sudo hdparm -t {}" [04:37] Cpudan80, yes very strange indeedlydeed [04:37] Ben64, +1 ! nice command! [04:37] shall return, rebooting [04:37] edbian: i'm still a noob at regex :D [04:37] Psinetic: Try the same command as sudo [04:38] Cpudan80: The error was about spaces in the filename getting broken when i double quite variable expansion it works. Thanks alot. [04:38] Ben64: what does {} mean? [04:38] Cpudan80: double quote i mean [04:38] zahmed: yeah - sounds right - glad it works [04:38] kheera: it inserts into the command the output of the pipe into xargs [04:38] kheera: variable substitution [04:39] Hi. I'm running karmic on an Asus eee 1005HA. When I installed it, I installed various eee-specific utilities, which required the addition of two new repos to apt: statux.org and repos.eeebuntu.org. Both repos stopped working, with statux.org saying just: "Sorry, site closed". Anyone knows what gives? What's the best place to arm a vanilla karmic with eee goodness? [04:39] basically the command i said is a fancy way of testing the speed of the boot drive [04:39] hello, I have a question on Empathy's yahoo issues, it won't let me connect to Yahoo, even my username and password is correct, is that a issue? [04:39] Timing buffered disk reads: 180 MB in 3.03 seconds = 59.43 MB/sec <-- my result [04:39] teolicy, I found an interesting distro today. Based on 9.04 called "easypeasy" [04:40] ggrrr, what starts NetworkManager in Jaunty? [04:40] teolicy, http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ worked great on my acer aspire 1 [04:40] so would this delete each file in the directory? ls | rm {} [04:40] edbian, thanks, but I'd rather have vanilla 9.10 and add some eee goodness. [04:40] Ben64: You want to know the speed of my hd? [04:41] blasted thing wipes out resolv.conf and messes up the routing table each time i plug in a windows mobile phone [04:41] vlt: correct [04:41] teolicy, NP, good luck! There is something in the ubuntu docs about it. [04:41] damn it i need a screen saver that plays avis [04:41] i had a problem last night where everything was slow, turned out DMA on the drive was off, was getting 3MB/s from it [04:41] edbian, good idea, thanks again. [04:41] teolicy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [04:41] Ben64: 25MB/s [04:41] hello, I have a question on Empathy's yahoo issues, it won't let me connect to Yahoo, even my username and password is correct, is that a issue? [04:42] teolicy, I have a eee 900a , netbook remix 9.04 works fine on it [04:42] actually mp4's now that i think about it [04:42] How can I enter grub menu? [04:42] teolicy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [04:42] andrew_46, nope i want a linux version of movie maker i am trying to install from http://www.getdeb.net/install/lives/1.1.6-1~getdeb1 but i cant do so please guide me thanks [04:42] edbian, the latter URL is what I probably need. Thanks! [04:42] Anyone have any experience with building kernel modules? [04:43] teolicy, no problem [04:43] mutew, what are you building? [04:43] in terminal what do i type in to get my harware info? [04:43] nameiner, lshw [04:43] I am writing a simple module to hook on to the system write() call. [04:43] nameiner, lspci [04:43] haresh_: Unfortunately I am not familiar with that prgram :( [04:43] heh, missed both times edbian [04:43] love tabs [04:43] nameo0, lshw lspci [04:44] hmm... guess I need to make my question more clearly. I encountered a network error to Empathy. [04:44] I want to change some boot params. How can I enter grub menu? I tried pressing ESC but it jumps directly to loading the kernel. [04:44] freetown2, ha ha, thanks, I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't said that [04:44] mutew, hello? what modules are you trying to build? [04:44] haresh_: But I note that it is in the Karmic repository [04:44] vlt, you press 'e' to edit... [04:44] edbian, heh, it's only because i have missed several times in the past [04:44] haresh_: sudo apt-get install lives [04:45] edbian: Doesn't work. I can't even see the menu. It just skips over it [04:45] freetown2: Creating a module of my own which is basically a hook onto the system write() call. [04:45] sudo apt-get install lives [04:45] * freetown2 wants to nuke NetworkManager from orbit in Jaunty world. [04:45] could not find it [04:45] vlt, Are you running ubuntu 9.10 with that new fangled grub 2?? [04:45] * jhb1608 feels ignored again. [04:45] edbian: yes [04:45] haresh_: Are you running karmic? [04:46] it is not my first time feeling ignored in here [04:46] mutew, er...but you need help on a Makefile?!? [04:46] hardy [04:46] vlt, I can't help then :( you need to edit the grub config file which is all sorts of different in the newest version :( sorry [04:46] Ok, how to change the timeout value in grub.cnf (grub2) [04:46] ? [04:46] i need help formatting my USB drive so i can use unetbootin on it to boot UNR 9.10 from it [04:47] ubottu: grub2 | vlt [04:47] vlt: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:47] Cpudan80: another issue :) in the sequence of commands --> export x=$(sed -n '1p' buffy2) [[here echo $x returns "/home/zubair/Pictures/Photos/sample/one folder/one file"]] ...now if i type cp "$x" -t dest/ ..it says can't stat, no such file [04:47] mutew, sorry, not tried to write me own kernel module. Can't help you there. [04:47] bleepbloop, You watch collegehumor.com?? [04:47] ubottu, how to nuke NetworkManager [04:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:47] freetown2: The makefile looks something like - http://pastebin.com/m251c3143 [04:47] edbian: nah [04:47] ubottu, NetworkManager [04:47] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [04:48] bleepbloop, What is your nickname in reference too then? [04:48] well if it is wireless then leave everything else alone blasted thing [04:49] any way I can mess with the refresh rates of my display? it's running at 60Hz which I think is causing my problem (the screen is shifted to the right leaving 2 inches of black on the left) [04:49] mutew, what errors are you running into? missing calls? [04:49] mutew, missing references or something that is [04:49] I am at karmic and can't make americas army work: ./armyops-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [04:49] edbian: nothing, I just came up with it a while ago. [04:49] jlongs2: What video card do you have? [04:49] bleepbloop, nevermind then. Carry on! :) [04:50] freetown2: Invalid kernel configuration errors [04:50] I've tried setting modelines in xorg.conf with `cvt ` but that doesn't seem to take effect [04:50] freetown2: http://pastebin.com/m406ef539 [04:50] te: radeon 3200, fglrx driver [04:50] hdmi [04:50] jlongs2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [04:50] zahmed: that's strange [04:51] is xubuntu less resource-intensive than ubuntu? noticeably so? [04:51] te: thanks, i'll play with xrandr [04:51] zahmed: remove the " " around $x in thte cp command I think [04:51] linux_stu: yes [04:51] thanks ardchoille [04:53] Cpudan80: removing quotes around $x breaks filename as it contains spaces [04:53] oh - right [04:54] zahmed: does dest exist? [04:54] yep [04:55] mutew, you are building against a vanilla kernel? [04:55] im having trouble configuring dual screens, its weird because it comes up SyncMaster in the x server settings but that is the monitor that doesnt work, when i open multiple monitor settings, it says i dont appear to have 2 screens, im using nvidia proprietory drivers [04:55] hey i screwed up and wrote a comment on a bug report that was stupid (my answer was three posts above me) is there anyway to get rid of the post? [04:55] for the sake of keeping it not spammy [04:56] redIago: just dont do it again... ;p [04:56] lol [04:56] lol [04:56] mutew, you need to configure the kernel compilation first...just untarring is not enough [04:56] i feel stupid [04:56] im trying to get involved and im just making an ass out of myself [04:56] oh one more thing [04:57] i need to sign the code of conduct [04:57] how do i get my gpg key [04:57] redIago: which gpg key? [04:57] the one it says i need hang on let me find the page [04:58] redIago: did you add third party repositories? [04:58] zahmed: hmm - dunno, there is #bash for scripting help [04:58] yeah the backtrack one [04:58] Hi, I'm trying to use unetbootin to create a bootable USB key with Easy Peasy on it for my netbook, using Ubuntu Karmic Koala 64-bit, and I get this error (even though I have the repo version of udev installed): vol_id not found. This is required for either install mode. Install the "udev" package or your distribution's equivalent. - any ideas on how I can fix this? [04:58] well goto the backtrack site and get the key from there and add it [04:59] how to i setup my servers firewall to block outgoing access to all ports on 10.0.0.1 [04:59] do* [04:59] oh not the same thing i think [04:59] let me try to be more specific hang on [04:59] tos: type ufw --help [05:00] redIago: you need to download the gpg key from backtrack and add it, you can do that through synaptic if you want [05:00] ok me entering #bash [05:00] khelvan: have you tried the usb startup disk creator, it works better in my opinion [05:00] is they a program that can add files to a iso image [05:00] freetown2: This URL seems to have detailed steps - http://dinomite.net/2007/setting-up-ubuntu-for-building-kernel-modules/ [05:01] preecher: an iso image is a finalized file system, you can't add files to it [05:01] anyone have a url for easy setup of samba so I can share a folder to my XP box? [05:01] ae86: its saying this... [05:01] root@ns:/usr/share/squirrelmail/src# ufw deny 10.0.0.1:80 [05:01] ERROR: Port ranges must be numeric [05:01] ardchoille, thx [05:02] preecher: you can, however, extract the iso, add files and then build a new iso [05:02] @tos iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j DROP [05:02] i think it would be more like ufw deny 10.0.0.1 -p 80, but im not sure, you will have to read the man === Melvinov is now known as Melvinado [05:02] mutew, those instructions do look like they will help you to get a source tarball for your current running kernel and have it prepped up for building modules [05:02] here we go on the launch pad site (i can send a link if you want) it wants me to register an openpgp key in order to sign the code of conduct [05:03] * freetown2 hopes ufw is WAY better than NetworkManager [05:03] my example drops ALL outgoing packets and datagrams on the eth0 interface [05:03] thomasrjones, not quite what tos wants though [05:03] ardchoille, o ok--thx [05:04] iptables sounds right [05:04] oh yeah it does! [05:04] redIago: if you open synaptic package manager, do you have the backtrack key added (different from the repository) [05:04] thats what he said......drop outgoing access to ports on an interface [05:04] nothing like building your own rules... [05:04] the only problem is making them run on boot up [05:04] stuffing them in /etc/network/interfaces is a start... [05:05] nvm figured it out [05:05] ufw is just a interface to iptables [05:05] ok, what would cause apt to just go wonky and not see/be able to install packages? [05:05] thomasrjones, the question is, is it any good? [05:05] you can get a GUI for UFW [05:05] is what any good? [05:05] liike, does it just stuff all rules into one big chain [05:06] freetown2: for a simple 2-minute firewall, ufw/gufw more than suffices [05:06] wtb nick prefixes on messages. [05:06] if you need to do fancy stuff, you might want something more sophisticated [05:06] the structure of a firewall is just that...cisco....sonic....ms...iptables [05:06] HTT-Bird, that is not the point. ufw is also the only 'convenient' way to get rules loaded on bootup [05:06] freetown2: if you look at your IP tables, you will see what it does [05:07] is there any way to install lucid from the desktop disk without installing grub or grub 2? [05:07] they all are a ruleset.....u have to determine the most appropriate structure for ur situation [05:07] redIago: I take it you already have a working grub on your box? [05:07] thomasrjones, i create chains for tcp/udp/icmp packets and more chains for high traffic protocols like smtp on a mailserver [05:07] no i have Chameleon [05:07] its a hackint0sh lol [05:07] redIago: hmmm...never heard of that bootloader, maybe that's why :) [05:08] it recognises linux fine [05:08] sry, never dealt with a hackint0sh in my life, have never touched a mac with anything newer than a g4 in it either :) so won't be able to help you in this case [05:08] ur r incorrect freetown2 [05:08] thomasrjones, branching out to ensure packets go through a minimum no. of rules before hitting something [05:08] i know what i need, i just need to not install grub [05:08] smtp is encapsulated in tcp... [05:08] thomasrjones, ufw does not provide for startup? [05:08] and i have a desktop install disk to work with [05:09] the hackint0sh part is irrelivant [05:09] u have to issue service startup like any other service on ur system [05:09] thomasrjones, sigh. all tcp go to tcp_packet chain. if it is smtp, pass on to smtp_packet chain, otherwise continue. [05:09] redIago, not quite, because you'll need to modify its bootloader in order for it to provide you with a choice of which OS to boot. [05:09] how do i install java? it asks for root password if i input su. i am unable to change my root password through administration . i change it and then i input that password it says authetication failure [05:09] u r still incorrect freetown2 [05:09] geez.... [05:09] thomasrjones, yawn. [05:09] !sudo | friendishan [05:09] friendishan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[05:11] freetown2: yeah, eni can be used too [05:11] and iptables save is another possibility [05:11] but i guess this is getting offtopic, i'll drop this [05:11] if the tcp encapsulation is removed first? [05:11] if you feel like hacking something up go right ahead :) [05:11] it would always default t ip or tcp chain [05:12] HTT-Bird, er...but with NetworkManager messing about...i am not so sure i'd want to try...i'd have to dig deep i suspect to get something working properly [05:12] freetown2: NetworkManager can run pre/post up/down scripts [05:13] HTT-Bird: why not edit interfaces file [05:13] HTT-Bird, cool, wonderful...and it can mess things up too. like wiping out resolv.conf and changing the default route whenever i plug in my windows mobile phone [05:13] ae86-drifter: I never said eni wasn't an option :) [05:13] (eni being short for /etc/network/interfaces :) [05:13] any tweak in karmic to increase internet speed (i have 128kbps) [05:14] HTT-Bird, and eni used to use iptables save? [05:14] aw [05:14] lol [05:14] hi all. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 how do i install the latest Openssl and apache2 [05:14] freetown2: *is still scratching head @ your network configuration :o* [05:14] Troggie: omg [05:14] what? [05:14] friendishan, you could try traffic shaping to make certain protocols more responsive [05:14] if i only have 1 partition - and i reinstall from dvd - will it overwrite all my files even if i dont format? [05:14] friendishan, but not faster [05:15] or will it only over write the system files? [05:15] friendishan: yeah, QoS/traffic shaping can help set priorities so important stuff gets through first [05:15] I can't exactly install 9.10 cause RAID 1 doesn't boot after install [05:15] freetown2 ok, but i am looking for the tweak i had done in jaunty which increased my net speed [05:15] HTT-Bird, br0 using dhcp to save with Windows instance. plugging a phone will get NetworkManager all worked up [05:16] Troggie: try karmic-backports or using a deb-src line from karmic (basic procedure is described in '/msg dpkg simple sid backport') [05:16] this will be any help for me ? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-251509.html [05:16] Troggie: if karmic is too old, you'll need uupdate [05:16] friendishan, huh? 128k will not become 1mbit no matter what tweak you use... [05:16] but I have to go [05:16] ok so i did this... iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j DROP -d 10.0.0.1 [05:16] and it worked blocking http to 10.0.0.1 [05:16] ciao HTT-Bird [05:16] thank u [05:16] but now i cant get out to the net [05:16] o/ [05:16] freetown2 yup i know but will it make a difference for me? [05:17] friendishan, that depends on whether something like ssh is more important to you or downloading...if you are more into downloads...then probably not [05:18] tos: You have to accept some outgoing ports to access the web. [05:18] tos, i suspect you are blocking everyting, not just everything to 10.0.0.1 [05:18] freetown2 anyway to increase my downloading speeds (yea i am more into downloads) [05:18] tos, that -d 10.0.0.1 should be before the -j DROP [05:19] just trying to block shell users from accessing my 2wire status page which is the router @ 10.0.0.1 [05:19] friendishan, are you not able to max out the 128k line? [05:19] freetown2 nope i used to get 30kbps as download speed in jaunty now i get 20kbps [05:19] hi there is Troggie, sorry about that [05:19] tos iptables -A OUTPUT -d 10.0.0.1 -j DROP will do it === Me is now known as Guest45328 [05:20] tos, but do a replace on the rule you have instead [05:20] got it, but that also was my dns [05:20] can someone tell me how to change my hostname on a ubuntu machine post install? [05:20] so i had to change my dns to my ip [05:20] and it worked! [05:20] thanks [05:20] When i did a fresh Install of Ubuntu 9.10, after the reboot, it said it waited too long for the kernel, i read on the internet about that happening with RAID1. So how do i fix that [05:20] tos: But if your router is blocked you can't access the web anymore. [05:21] tj83: /etc/hostname make changes here [05:21] bastid_raZor, ty [05:21] its working [05:23] tos: i normally change my router listen pot in the actual router config [05:23] iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j DROP -d 10.0.0.1 [05:23] is what worked [05:23] yeah but att routers dont let you [05:23] the 2wires [05:23] SUCK [05:23] and some change in a file to get better video quality [05:23] epinky [05:24] tos: oh, well that does suck [05:24] When i did a fresh Install of Ubuntu 9.10, after the reboot, it said it waited too long for the kernel, i read on the internet about that happening with RAID1. So how do i fix that [05:24] so this is the alternative [05:24] :/ [05:24] * freetown2 smashes NetworkManager with a big ten ton hammer. [05:24] any change in a file to make video quality better ? (i had this in jaunty) [05:24] i am getting this error http://pastebin.com/m7bf56527 can any one help me plz? [05:24] okay, that's better. ciao all [05:25] * friendishan . [05:25] friendishan: video quality of what? [05:25] hey. does remastersys copy all drives? or just the partition that ubuntu is installed to? [05:25] ae86-drifter video quality of movies , etc === tj__ is now known as tj83 [05:26] !find tweak [05:26] Found: mousetweaks, freqtweak, gtweakui, tweak [05:26] Shtl_: root is not enabled in ubuntu. [05:27] * friendishan needs to increase his video quality :) [05:27] I do believe something on my server just crashed. It was set, with a GUI, to share a drive with cifs. the server is up, I'm SSH'd in. I can view the drive, I can use it. but the cifs share is down..how can I restart that without restarting the computer? [05:27] friendishan: make sure u have codecs and video card drivers installed.. thats about it [05:27] bastid, could do a 'sudo su'' [05:27] ae86-drifter yup i do have but there was some file to edit which i done in jaunty which increased my video quality (i guess it was on ubuntu's site) [05:27] why can't my printer work , since I upgraded ?? [05:28] Richard_Simmons: if you have it mount from fstab you could: sudo mount -a ..that will mount everything that is not mounted in fstab [05:28] friendishan: i think that would be application specific [05:28] friendishan: try using vlc media player [05:29] bastid_raZor the drive is mounted on the server. CIFS crashed on it, so it isn't -sharing- it for me to mount it locally. [05:29] ae86-drifter yup i using that [05:29] ok. well i think i just got my answer. it made a ISO in under 5 minutes. and i have 5TB worth of extra drives, so i dont think it crammed all 5TB into the ISO [05:29] samba crashed* I think [05:29] ae86-drifter the file i edited had this at the end # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: [05:29] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security restricted main multiverse universe [05:29] # deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security multiverse [05:29] that is your sources.list file [05:30] it has nothing to do with videos [05:30] I upgraded to 9.10 , and my printer is not responding , any help out there ??? [05:30] ae86-drifter yup that was it i edited that and it increased all the display quality [05:30] friendishan: you have two different versions in your sources. that is a great way to break things. [05:30] friendishan: what are you running? Intrepid? [05:30] friendishan: NO it didnt. [05:30] Richard_Simmons: restart samba? [05:31] hi guys, is there any way to convert a hd video to sd video? i have a old laptop that can not play hd video well [05:31] aedchoille : nope karmic (what's intrepid) [05:31] !intrepid [05:31] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [05:31] i found a program for windows, but wondering if any ubuntu apps are capable of accomplishing the same thing [05:31] friendishan: Then you shouldn't have any souces besides karmic in your sources file. Mixing sources from various releases will break things [05:31] name it [05:31] aha, I figured out how to setup folder sharing to my XP box, but now I get "access denied" (from the xp side) when trying to copy files there. Suggestions? [05:31] bastid_raZor yes.. exactly how do I do that? [05:32] friendishan: your repository sources has nothing to do with video quality, editing that file wont do anything to your quality [05:32] ae86-drifter yea it actually did (i had broken something and my totem wasn't loading so someone told me to do this and it increased the display quality and fixed the video problem (also VLC all other with video)) [05:32] I have "allow others to write files here" checked [05:32] friendishan: yno, it actually didn't [05:32] Richard_Simmons: my guess is: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [05:32] ardchoille: no it was the back-up when i updated that file [05:33] Dasda: mencoder can do that [05:33] friendishan: maybe its something that you installed AFTER adding the repository [05:33] bastid_raZor thanks. trying it [05:33] ae86-drifter maybe [05:33] friendishan: well you need to take all non Karmic sources out of your sources.list file [05:33] Ben64, thanks. Ill read into that now. thank you [05:33] friendishan: and then sudo apt-get update [05:33] Dasda: what cpu/speed is the laptop [05:34] what program can i use to record playing playing audio? other than audacity [05:34] ardchoille: i haven't changed the source.list file after my karmic's fresh install :) [05:34] * friendishan has to go [05:34] friendishan: i have a feeling you need to update or enable your video card driver... just a feeling.... as VLC uses its own codec files [05:34] Ben64, intel celeron M Processor 370 (1.5ghz, 400mhz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache) <---- thats what the label says [05:34] I was having that file system not mounting error but managed to get back in...found some stuff online. No one could tell me anything about that here. Now I can get back in, but my mouse won't move. The fix to this is probably much simpler. Anyone know wht s going on [05:34] ae86-drifter, When i did a fresh Install of Ubuntu 9.10, after the reboot, it said it waited too long for the kernel, i read on the internet about that happening with RAID1.

I've plugged in a thumb drive and see it right there under "Places" in File Browser, but I can't get to the files. left clicks do nothing nor do any right-click menu options. nothing. [06:25] i_is_broke, When i did a fresh Install of Ubuntu 9.10, after the reboot, it said it waited too long for the kernel, i read on the internet about that happening with RAID1. So how do i fix that [06:26] I need help omg... :'( How do I get this wireless to work?! [06:26] The dumb iwconfig is all like no wireless extensions [06:26] hi any solution for the problem [06:26] !wireless | devo Have you read this? [06:26] devo Have you read this?: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:27] I upgraded my system after then the system asked me to restart but, the system is booting now is showing me the following message [06:27] 1.

[06:31] s/ubt/but/ [06:31] windows vista sucks [06:31] mooseburger, i think you can change the default option to open the directory [06:32] just right click and properties.. i think it should be somewhere there [06:32] nautilus: sudo gparted [06:32] wha wapen wine [06:32] oh nice mooseburger === chris_ is now known as tremolo [06:33] What if I type 'sudo lshw -class Network' and my network controller comes up but doesn't have a logical name? [06:33] sleepy-cat, it works fine in nautilus, but in the files and folders tab it tries to use VLC. Right-clicking on the icons there only yields an open option.

[06:41] kk [06:41] say contains everything that the mini would always download + all drivers + core packages (everything required for installing the smallest bootable ubuntu) [06:41] hello ?? anyone ?? [06:41] joshua__, i think there is a mini hold on let me check. [06:41] Adrian: nobody here sorry [06:41] !ask | Adrian2MiL8 [06:41] Adrian2MiL8: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:42] ok thanks [06:42] #ubuntu [06:42] what's the software ubuntu netbook remix uses for it's desktop tabs? where do I configure it? [06:42] joshua__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:43] what I'm describing would probably way 100mb [06:43] joshua__, i was reading about it the other day. [06:43] this mini weighs 12mb and is not suitable even for chroot w/o the internet [06:43] joshua__, im sorry misunderstood you , i thought you meant around 10 mb. [06:44] i recently upgrade hardy to intrepid , i have installed nvidia driver 180.29 from before manual form nvidia binary instaler , now i can't activate compiz effects in intrepid , but xserver work fine , scrren resolution itś ok and more [06:44] i_is_broke, i read the troubleshooting, but my problem really wasnt stated [06:44] both displays work fine [06:44] but [06:44] pirogoeth, then the only thing i can say is keep asking in the room every so often till someone comes in that might know. [06:44] ok [06:44] pirogoeth, but what? [06:45] i dont remember [06:45] o.o [06:45] another thing , anyone speak spanish ?? [06:46] !es [06:46] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[06:47] ok ubottu , only i as [06:47] Only I as. [06:47] i ask only [06:47] Adrian2MiL8: I can tell you that you should use the nvidia driver that is installed from the "hardware Drivers" section of the administration menu [06:48] xP Bots are so cool. Once I will make my own for sure (no I won activate him in this channel..) [06:48] is there a way to resize your ubuntu partition after you already installed ubuntu? i want to install windows using about 30gb of my ubutnu partition [06:48] spO: gparted [06:48] spO, i'd just create [06:48] spO, yes by using gparted [06:48] a new partition [06:48] gbear >> but it 's the same 180.29 and if i upgrade to 185 maybe fix my problem ?? [06:48] spO: you can use gparted from the livecd to resize [06:49] i use ubuntu 9.10, the firefox app all of a sudden becomes grey and does not respond. [06:49] anyone faced this issue [06:49] brb, restarting x [06:49] so i have to reboot from the cd huh [06:49] if I want to log in as root, how do I find out what the password is (or preferably, change it)? [06:49] spO, yep [06:49] !noroot | Nautilus [06:49] Nautilus: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [06:49] spO: and if you install Windows after ubuntu, you will need to work on getting grub restored [06:49] Hello Everyone [06:50] Nautilus: There is no need to log in as root, I haven't logged into the root account in 4 years of using ubuntu [06:50] kinja-sheep: but i want to use the computer [06:50] Nautilus: Use sudo -i instead. [06:50] ardchoille, how do i do that? [06:50] spO, which can be a pain. [06:50] Adrian2MiL8: perhaps... I just know installing video drivers manually is a complicated and might have lead to your problem [06:50] !fixgrub [06:50] 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. [06:50] spO: ^^ [06:50] spO: I'd say install windows inside virtualbox [06:51] kinja-sheep: I think I'm having a perms problem, cant figure it out. just want to move 3 files. dunno what else to do [06:51] spO: What do you need windows for? Performance or compatibility? [06:51] spO: or both? [06:51] the ubuntu live cd is different from the ubuntu install cd? [06:51] gbear >> 180.29 i install manually in hardy [06:51] !sudo | Nautilus use sudo [06:51] Nautilus use sudo: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [06:51] Nautilus: sudo mv file newFile [06:51] gbear, i cannot play some .rm files.... that are broken...and i tried fixing them...no go [06:51] Adrian2MiL8: use the hardware drivers tool... it may help [06:51] ie, the sound and video are out of sync and nothing work [06:51] spO: Real media? [06:51] yes [06:51] I hate to be a bother, but I'm needing some "hand-holding" if you guys could be so kind...I boot to ubuntu and get grub immediately 1.97~beta4. Looks like grub2, I have 9.10. I know I need to edit my grub.cfg file (i think?) so I am on the liveCD right now but the grub.cfg file is read-only. Any suggestions? [06:51] spO: tried vlc? [06:51] yes [06:52] Nautilus: You could do "gksudo nautilus" -- That way, you can move files in GUI! [06:52] the livecd is different from the install cd? [06:52] gbear >> but the graphic card work ok , the only problem it's with compiz effects in intrepid , on hardy working fine before upgrade [06:52] spO: hmm ok not sure... but yeah I'd say if you need them that badly use virtualbox to host a windows vm [06:52] spO: OR... if you need even more performance, try kvm [06:53] gbear, virtual box? you mean wine? [06:53] spO: assuming you have the hardware to support it... what computer are you running? [06:53] AcBush, is it read-only simply because you're not sudo-ing to when opening the file? [06:53] Is there any way to configure netbook-launcher? I think I can fix the problem I have with VLC if I can change it's "open with" setting. [06:53] hey guys im trying to install 9.10 on an old PIII i have laying around and i choose install ubuntu and it never goes through the install screens just to a login prompt ? [06:53] kingmanor: oh ok, love the gksudo nautilus idea [06:54] spO: no WINE is a windows emulator. virtualbox is a type 2 hypervisor. It allows you to create a VM (Virtual Machine). I can explain in more detail but you should PM me. [06:54] kinja-sheep: oh ok, love the gksudo nautilus idea [06:54] Hello Everyone, I am experiencing a weird problem on my thinkpad T400 with ubuntu 9.10. [06:54] Fizix, where can I find my Ubuntu partition? I know it is hd1,5 and I mounted it (it shows on desktop) but in terminal, how would I navigate there? [06:55] It runs hot when running on AC power [06:55] gbear, how do i install it [06:55] however it cools to normal temp. on battery discharging [06:55] please guide me in exploring this problem [06:55] Adrian2MiL8: try looking in the appearance menu item and enable compiz... I'm not sure how much I can help you... I don't use compiz [06:55] Fizix, I know I am asking what seems like a dumb question to you all... [06:56] AcBush, try /dev [06:56] windows Virtual box will mean i won't have to reboot to run windows and i can run windows inside ubuntu huh [06:56] spO: yes [06:57] Does anyone know how to inspect the swap partition to see what processes are using it? [06:57] i_is_broke, what i dont understand about this [06:57] gbear >> thanks , i try activate in appearance but not work now with intrepid [06:57] i guess i will run kvm [06:57] AcBush, try /dev/scda* | to be honest with ya, I'm quite the n00b myself so no worries! Perhaps someone else would be better qualified in telling you how to get to that partition via the terminal [06:57] Fizix, Am I supposed to be trying to cd into the hard drive? [06:57] AcBush: You can find the path in Nautilus location on the mounted partition. [06:57] i_is_broke: is that i can setup the monitors to be one on top and one below === lance is now known as Guest72518 [06:57] i_is_broke: but, i cannot set them side by side [06:58] er [06:58] brb [06:58] à [06:58] AcBush, kinja-sheep is right. I just looked at my partition through nautilus; mine is in /media/ [06:58] back [06:58] i_is_broke: ^^^ [06:59] spO: Do you have the hardware support for kvm? [06:59] hey can anyone tell me what i need to type in terminal to install a wireless driver for my laptop? [06:59] lool [06:59] * pirogoeth dies [06:59] gbear, yes [07:00] adtimus: what version of ubuntu are you using... most support the wireless drivers without additional commands now [07:00] DOES ANYBODY NOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE NICK FOR AMSN OR EMESENE? IT DOESN'T CHANGE!! [07:00] I know :P [07:00] DOES ANYBODY NOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE NICK FOR AMSN OR EMESENE? IT DOESN'T CHANGE!! PLEASE... THNX [07:00] Emesene [07:00] !caps | diegoxmt [07:00] diegoxmt: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:00] Install the personal message plugin [07:00] i just got 9.10 and i have a older hp laptop but i forgot which of the 3 drivers i needed [07:00] grrrrrrrrrrrrr [07:00] sorry [07:00] spO: I would do that then. I do the same to run multiple distro's on my machine. virt-manager is a nice gui start too [07:00] kinja-sheep, I'm honestly not sure what exactly you mean by that. *sigh* I'm sorry... [07:00] how do I tell ubuntu "hey the mouse is in my left hand; flip the buttons" [07:00] i had 9.04 but i was having problems due to a improper shutdown and fsck wasnt completing [07:01] i_is_broke: do you know where the gnome-display-properties settings file is stored? [07:01] is there any way to read ext4 filesystems [07:01] Humbucker: the plugin for the emesene right? [07:01] AcBush: You see the partition on your Desktop, click on that. A Nautilus window will open. Look at the path. [07:01] brb [07:01] pirogoeth, probably under preferences system settings [07:01] kinja-sheep, It shows a bunch of numbers and letters. [07:02] agusj: the newer distro's use ext4 by default [07:02] i recently upgrade hardy to intrepid , i have installed nvidia driver 180.29 from before manual form nvidia binary instaler , now i can't activate compiz effects in intrepid , but xserver work fine , scrren resolution it's ok , look like a glx problem [07:02] how do I tell ubuntu "hey the mouse is in my left hand; flip the buttons" [07:02] AcBush: /media/ is your path, I believe. [07:02] optimizer, under preference keyboard and mouse. [07:02] gbear14275: i have ubuntu 9.10, i think it is a intel wireless card [07:02] kinja-sheep, You are correct...thanks. Let me try that... [07:02] optimizer: go to System > preferences > mouse [07:02] optimizer, Go to System->Preferences->Mouse and click on the box for left handed [07:03] how do I tell ubuntu "hey the mouse is in my left hand; flip the buttons"; i'm running xmonad; what app do I run to do all this? [07:03] i_is_broke, no i mean the actual settings file in the filesystem [07:03] adtimus: should work out of the box [07:03] that's my problem, after installing older version ubuntu, I cannot be back to 9.10 and I dont know how to get my data [07:04] agusj: why did you install an older version? [07:04] hey guys im having trouble installing 9.10 on this old machine [07:04] kinja-sheep, Are you familiar with the problem I am having (Ubuntu going straight to Grub?)? [07:04] is there a way to do alt install mode on the normal iso ? [07:04] well this laptop's hd is kinda faling so i know im using a shitty laptop, however the device is not configured yet, and hardware drivers is empty [07:04] I just need older kernel that support my hardware [07:04] AcBush: I'm watching a movie.

[07:05] cyros, oops iso. [07:05] !backup | agusj [07:05] agusj: There are many ways to back your system up.

[07:06] kinja-sheep, I hope it's a not a good movie, or I'll feel like an ass. Heh. So, I have windows and ubuntu installed (brand new installation of ubuntu). When I boot up, it asks Windows or Ubuntu. I choose Ubuntu and it goes straight to Grub 1.97~beta4 (grub2, I think?). I've been reading and a suggestion was to edit the grub.cfg file to remove the lines that say search no floppy. I'm going to try that I guess... [07:06] PeterFA: Point it to www.ubuntu.com then.

[07:25] i got it [07:25] pirogoeth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:25] i ran the failsafe GNOME session [07:25] what am I grep ing for. [07:25] does anyone here play eve online ??? [07:25] good point, genoobie. I would just go through it, it can't be more than 4 pages :p [07:26] SETKEH: linux users are smarter than that [07:26] linux users can't play eve [07:26] <3 [07:27] ugh, doesn't say anything about the PCMCIA [07:27] noble: no i don't think so [07:27] DaZ, they can using wine they modifyed the windows binarly to be compatable with wine when they pulled the linux xlient [07:27] if you could hax0r kernel code inside the eve virtual world you might have something.. === mylogic_ is now known as mylogic [07:27] frogzoo, aparently not [07:27] genoobie, can u test in another OS that the card works ? [07:27] yes, card works fine [07:27] I would start from hardware troubleshooting first [07:28] I could try another card.. [07:28] can any 1 help me about aMule? [07:28] what is the make / model of your card [07:28] borno: just ask your queestion. [07:28] nah [07:28] oh dear [07:28] doesn't seem to matter [07:29] how i can find a speedy link in aMule? [07:30] hello, I am new t Ubuntu and would like to know if there is any way I can open ooxml files such as docx or other formats of microsoft office 2007 [07:30] uncle [07:30] see, at least with windows, this isn't really a problem [07:30] hacker_ubuntu, Open office [07:31] hacker_ubuntu, open office.org sudo apt-get install openoffic [07:31] hacker_ubuntu, open office.org sudo apt-get install openoffice * [07:31] SETKEH: thanks [07:31] hacker_ubuntu, np :D [07:32] there's a guid that tells you which driver is borked [07:32] noble: your laptop is a thinkpad? [07:32] yes nastas [07:32] hah [07:32] model? [07:32] Thinkpad T400 [07:32] i know what was preventing my dual screen setup from working === z is now known as Guest11542 [07:32] x3 === Guest11542 is now known as pirogoeth [07:32] x3 [07:32] appearently [07:32] i cant have any visual effects enabled [07:33] when its setup like this [07:33] but it worked just fine on 8.04 and 9.04 [07:33] :/ [07:34] noble: i'm not sure how old is this link but just check it http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed#Manual_mode [07:34] * pirogoeth submits bug report [07:34] nastas, I tried that already system won't let me modify that file :( [07:34] hrm [07:34] wtf [07:35] ugh [07:35] Hello. My baseline memory usage is 600MB. Can someone please suggest how to lower this number? [07:35] MindVirus: http://linuxatemyram.com [07:35] that is a funny domain name [07:35] MindVirus: IOW, let the kernel manage your memory, and stop worrying about it [07:36] mneptok: Don't assume I don't know what I'm talking about. [07:36] -/+ buffers/cache: 621 377 [07:36] This is not a normal memory usage. [07:36] MindVirus: run top, press M to sort by memory, what are near the top? [07:37] Hi, I have a Vista-Jaunty dual boot, but I cannot load Vista from GRUB- "BOOTMGR is missing, Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart"...how do I fix this? [07:37] M is shift+m, that is [07:37] alankila: A few programs that I will not close. [07:37] Namely, pidgin, dropbox, compiz.real, Xorg. [07:38] Chromium takes a rather big chunk of memory but that's not baseline so I don't consider that. [07:38] In total, the top 4 programs are running ~150MB. [07:38] Top 10 is ~200MB. [07:39] I'm not sure if the xorg and compiz memory usage is real memory of the graphics board memory... some of the X memory at least is that, could be that compiz's memory is too if it shares memory with X server [07:39] The rest are measured in kilobytes. [07:39] would this work with xubuntu? [07:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5645 [07:39] trying to get my wlan to work properly [07:39] alankila: I don't understand. [07:39] MindVirus: never mind. [07:39] genoobie: you really need to ask in #xubuntu in order to get the best answer [07:40] alankila: Right-o. [07:40] yeah, although I suspect as far as getting the card to be recognized it's probably the same [07:40] noble: what exactly is the output? [07:40] So, I don't get why so much of my memory is being used baseline. [07:40] the ndiswrapper might be a little different [07:40] I really don't see how GNOME can be run with 256MB RAM. [07:40] I think my booted up Ubuntu uses about 500 MB of memory for the baseline stuff it's running... The real memory usage is 800 MB but 300 MB is going to Eclipse [07:41] (Though many people say they do.) [07:41] nastas, 90W 20V [07:41] it is the original came with the system [07:41] alankila: Why does Ubuntu use so much damn memory? [07:41] MindVirus: swap helps for systems with low physical memory. [07:41] And is there any way to fix it? [07:41] MindVirus: long tail of small programs adds up, I guess. [07:41] MindVirus: /etc/security/limits.conf or ulimit [07:42] mneptok: I mean, these systems run without swapping baseline. [07:42] my system has an amazing 171 tasks running [07:42] My Ubuntu Jaunty system atm: Total: 1002. Used: 315, Free: 687 [07:42] it wasn't long ago that booted up linux ran with 50 tasks [07:42] mine is 200 meg out of 2 gig. [07:42] i'm not used to using open office on vista.. i have ubuntu.. but i'm using this laptop. I was typing a document and carried the laptop into the kitchen and now it's in some weird mode that won't let me highlight anything .. how do i get it back? i can't save .. VERY few modes are available.. everything is grayed out, nobody is awake in #openoffice.org [07:43] alankila: I'm sure you could set up a system with only 50 tasks running at boot [07:43] okay okay [07:43] I can't figure out a simple wireless card driver issue [07:43] please, someone? [07:43] FireCrotch: yeah, like lubuntu. I'm seriously considering switching to lxde because gnome takes too long to start and generally doesn't do that much what I care about [07:44] hm... genoobie so ubuntu doesn't see it at all ? [07:44] is there a way to tunnel a usb device from one computer to another? [07:44] << or does it see it and doesn't want to work with it due to driver mismatch ? [07:44] like I want to plug my iPhone here, and it's recognized by another machine [07:44] noble, when i plug and unplug.... === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:44] How do I see how many tasks are running? [07:45] it tells me a card is being ejected / inserted [07:45] MindVirus: ps [07:45] so it does see it [07:45] mindnull: ps [07:45] supports d1/d2 [07:45] PME# disabled [07:45] 162 tasks. [07:45] MindVirus: htop is a nice tool. [07:45] MindVirus: top might be of interest as well [07:45] I use top all the time. [07:45] htop > top [07:45] MindVirus: Top or HTop in a cmd window. [07:45] noble it appears as if it is being "seen" [07:46] howdy [07:46] so? [07:46] i was hoping someone might have an idea why a persistent usb boot would get broken by the synaptic updater [07:47] htop is nice, thanks [07:47] genoobie, does ifconfig shows it ? [07:47] it doesn't seem like it [07:48] it may just be disabled there :) [07:48] genoobie, dmesg | grep wlan [07:48] anything there ? [07:48] nothing === kb is now known as Guest65904 [07:50] stupid wlan [07:50] :) [07:50] genoobie, try wlan up [07:50] genoobie, is this a 5V card? (you can see the info on the bottom side of the pcmcia card) [07:50] genoobie: give the output of lspci in pastebin [07:50] then dmesg and see what it says. [07:51] urgh... i_is_broke wlan up = no cmd wlan blah [07:51] mneptok: would there be any problem with alias top="htop" ? [07:51] psycho_oreos, no info [07:52] genoobie, and there's no label on the card at all? what about lspci output? anything relevant about the network/wireless controller? [07:52] ardchoille: only if htop is not installed :) [07:52] funny psycho_oreos it's there [07:53] genoobie: could you give the lspci output? [07:53] mneptok: hehe, ok [07:53] genoobie, please pastebin the output [07:53] okay..let me see... [07:53] can i use dnsmasq just for dns and not for dhcp? i already have dhcp set up in ubuntu [07:54] anybody good with sed [07:55] i'm ok with said sed [07:56] ugh [07:56] wtf [07:56] hey guys [07:56] why is the USB a read only fs [07:56] I need help here [07:56] hm what are the 1 and 2 gauges at the top of htop [07:56] !ask | lancetw [07:56] lancetw: 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. :-) [07:56] so... I gave my friend ubuntu. its not recognizing his usb stick even though it is too [07:56] genoobie, you booted from USB and its read only? [07:56] gr. [07:57] Landroid, and what sort of usb stick are we talking about? [07:57] no, I popped a usb drive in to try and copy the lspci output to pastebin [07:57] but I can't write to it [07:57] genoobie, its probably the permissions, check mount [07:57] i have a txt file, each line is like this "123123123123 isup (0.002 abcabc).", i want to keep the first 123123123123 and remove the rest of the line [07:57] lsusb shows linksys and everything it just has the wrong dev id [07:57] but this even the problem [07:58] psycho_oreos, nothing in mnt [07:58] it's in "media" [07:58] Landroid, you haven't answered my question [07:58] genoobie, no no.. the command `mount' (without quotes) [07:58] obaid: use the command 'cut' [07:58] sudo isn't working [07:58] when I type sudo anything it says command not found [07:59] psycho_oreos, it's calling the USB vfat [07:59] Landroid, seems you need to backtrack to the point of you braking it [07:59] Hey - I was wondering what I need to do to make my linux partition bootable again. On my macbook, I booted into OSX (from an external hard drive) and tried to resize a partition on my linux drive. Now it doesn't boot. I can mount it from gparted live cd and whatnot but i just cant get it to bood.. [07:59] uh [07:59] marsilainen, that shoud be easy with cut, thanks [07:59] so I tried sudo lspci >> test.txt [07:59] obaid, np [07:59] give me a break I'm typing on my phone [07:59] <_zid> can anyone give some basic info for a ubuntu newbie on how wireless printers are discovered in ubuntu? [08:00] it returns read only fs [08:00] did nothing to break it that should be related [08:00] genoobie, hmm well even vfat would still be restricted to whomever owns that directory and its subdirectories.. you might need to be root to enforce writing [08:00] tried to load a driver with ndiswrapper [08:00] ndiswrapper locked up [08:00] after that no sudo [08:00] Hey - I was wondering what I need to do to make my linux partition bootable again. On my macbook, I booted into OSX (from an external hard drive) and tried to resize a partition on my linux drive. Now it doesn't boot. I can mount it from gparted live cd and whatnot but i just cant get it to bood.. [08:00] for example apt-get works [08:01] ajhutton, grub probably took a dent [08:01] I don't get it [08:01] I just need to know what's going on here [08:01] rsk: how would i go about fixing that? [08:01] apt-get works.. displays help [08:01] !grub ajhutton [08:01] Landroid, is it actually sudo that it can't find, or the executable that you are trying to execute through sudo? [08:01] Landroid, by default ubuntu would have sudo command working, somewhere along the line if that command isn't found, trace back to what you did last [08:01] sudo apt-get = command not found [08:01] !grub [08:01] 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. [08:02] !grub2 [08:02] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:02] @rsk: thank you so much :) [08:02] wtf, I tried sudo cp blah balh...cannot create regular fiel [08:02] *file [08:02] nothing works with sudo [08:02] but [08:02] even the command doesn't work without sudo [08:02] ... [08:02] How do I add a .py to ~/.bashrc so it runs the script every time I open terminal? [08:02] genoobie, is it mounted with ro or rw? [08:03] Landroid, sounds like your path is screwed [08:03] What is this [08:03] psycho_oreos, I know this is newb, I dunno [08:03] Landroid, use full paths to sudo etc [08:03] Landroid, like /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/apt-get [08:03] sudo will look in /sbin and /usr/sbin, where the default path doesn't [08:03] it's insisting it's ro [08:03] genoobie, can't you just paste it onto pastebin from that computer or does that computer not have access to internet? [08:03] psycho_oreos, no internet access [08:03] genoobie, and if its ro, you'll need to remount it as rw [08:03] apt-get = help. sudo apt-get = help [08:04] ie; something like "sudo mdadm" will work while mdadm by itself won't [08:04] apt-get install command not found. same thing with sudo apt-get install [08:04] I can tell you the last line of lspci is 02:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54mbps Wireless Interface [08:04] Landroid: what are you trying to install? [08:04] Landroid: ls -l /usr/bin/apt-get [08:04] Landroid: do you see it there? [08:04] so it sees some kind of interface [08:05] but I'm not sure how to tap into it... [08:05] genoobie, that would be relevant, yes but at the same time you're going to be in for a bit of a rough ride without internet access on that computer [08:05] yeah, that's the problem [08:05] hmmm...let me see if I can get it wired [08:05] i tried installing the latest bugzilla branch in x64 9.10, it broke, now everytime i try to install someting with apt-get it complains that libtemplate-toolkit-perl and libgd-perl are dependants of libtemplate-gd-perl but not installed, nor are they found when searching aptitude. [08:06] genoobie, would be far more ideal imo [08:08] hey [08:08] psycho_oreos, [08:08] you still here? [08:08] I'm hooked up via the laptop [08:08] memet, as in genoobie ? [08:09] so the "wired" is working properly [08:09] yes [08:09] as in genoobie [08:09] so now what. [08:09] memet, pastebin me your dmesg output [08:09] hi guys [08:09] hrm [08:09] how do i install the linux-image-2.6.27-14-generic kernel? [08:09] pm? [08:10] adante: use 8.10 [08:10] memet, well I'd prefer you put the output in pastebin rather than in pm :) [08:10] when i try 'aptitude install linux-image-2.6.27-14-generic' it does nothing (at least there is no entry in boot) [08:10] adante: thatd be 8.10's kernel [08:10] is pm okay? [08:10] Does ubuntu support wep encryption? Every time I try to use wep, I can't connect to the internet. [08:10] memet, paste output into pm? no thanks, I'll lag out [08:10] okay [08:10] maco: is there any way to get an older kernel in 9.04? [08:10] let me see if I can figure this out [08:10] maco: sorry 9.10 [08:11] Nyoron: that may vary by hardware, but i think most hardware can do it [08:11] !pastebin | memet [08:11] memet: 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 [08:11] Nyoron: well, most common hardware at least... USB dongles possibly not [08:11] maco I have a card, not a dongle. [08:11] Nyoron, it heavily depends on chipset and drivers [08:11] adante: you could manually download it from archive.ubuntu.com and install it, but if it breaks your graphics or anything...too bad [08:12] adante, why would you want such an ancient kernel on your 9.10 install? [08:12] Nyoron, pastebin me your lspci output [08:12] psycho_oreos: i don't want an ancient kernel per se, i just want a kernel that works [08:12] adante, that works for what? [08:12] psycho_oreos: booting and sound mainly [08:13] adante, I can't imagine why the kernel inside 9.10 wouldn't work.. and the kernel version provided on 9.10 I'm sure is at least 2.6.30+ [08:13] psycho_oreos: 2.6.31-16-generic does not boot (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8561468#post8561468 ), and audio does not work in 2.6.28-17-generic (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8560287#post8560287 ) [08:13] adante, so try 9.04 [08:13] psycho_oreos, [08:14] okay, here goes [08:14] psycho_oreos: I pm'd it to you [08:14] adante: "aptitude search linux-image" [08:14] oh frig! [08:14] psycho_oreos: yeah i can't imagine why either but be that as it may, it doesn't work [08:14] Nyoron, can you please in the future use pastebin? [08:14] memet, use pastebin.. its a website [08:14] i have a service hellanzb that starts every time i boot. how do i disable it from starting? [08:14] psycho_oreos: Ok fine, I didn't think it was that long though. [08:14] kinja-sheep: thanks that is what i am doing but as i stated in original qn the older kernel installs do nothing [08:14] hi , anyone can teach me how do I set my jockey ati driver brightness ? it's too bright on the monitor [08:15] psycho_oreos: 9.04 as in the whole distro or the kernel? [08:15] Nyoron, and so I suspect you have 9.10 on? [08:15] adante, as in the whole distro [08:15] psycho_oreos: Yeah, gnome, 64bit, etc [08:15] adante: Clean Karmic or upgrading Karmic? [08:15] psycho_oreos: is there an easy way to downgrade or am i looking at reinstalling from scratch? [08:15] kinja-sheep: upgrading [08:15] Nyoron, 64bit maybe a bit of an issue at times [08:15] adante, I don't think you can downgrade easily [08:15] adante: You have to reboot and hold ESC (I think) to roll back down to older kernel. [08:16] psycho_oreos: Believe me, I'm noticing it... [08:16] can i use mathemtaca for windows on ubuntu? with wine? [08:16] hi , anyone can teach me how do I set my jockey ati driver brightness ? it's too bright on the monitor [08:16] Nyoron, good chance to try the 32bit in live mode and to see if you can actually connect via wep [08:16] kinja-sheep: yes [08:16] oh for f's sake [08:16] It's posted in pastebin [08:16] ubuntuuser: doesnt your monitor have buttons to control that? [08:16] memet, paste me the link [08:16] lol so solution is format and reinstall older version atm? [08:17] why can't I just friggin paste the link from FF [08:17] adante, for downgrading yes, but why not try their live-cd if in doubt? [08:17] psycho_oreos: The thing is, I have to change it from the router settings page first. So once I change it, I'll just have to go to a hard connection to fix it back. [08:17] memet, Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V here [08:17] adante: if you used 2.6.27 with 9.10 userspace, audio still wouldnt work [08:17] can i use MATHEMATICA for windows on UBUNTU? with wine? [08:17] can i use MATHEMATICA for windows on UBUNTU? with wine? [08:17] can i use MATHEMATICA for windows on UBUNTU? with wine? [08:17] HaskellTripleLov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:18] adante: well actually.... [08:18] HaskellTripleLov: Mathematica has a linux version [08:18] hi, how to print a file? ps: I have already set up cups, and got a test page [08:18] How do i get the WICD tray icon in GNOME (Ubuntu 9.10) === geo_ is now known as geo05 [08:18] adante: if you change pulseaudio's config to not use the udev module and use the other hting intead [08:18] maco: how can i tell what kernel belongs to a specific distro (or vice versa)? [08:18] psycho_oreos: to change my router settings page [08:18] Flannel> but i cant find it on torrent or rapidshare [08:19] maco: this does not appear to be a pulseaudio issue [08:19] adante: oh? [08:19] Nyoron, huh, but what has that got to do with wep or are you actually having issues with wpa? or? [08:19] justin_: from terminal? /usr/bin/lpr filename [08:19] psycho_oreos, [08:19] maco: alsa is unable to find any devices [08:19] maco: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8560287#post8560287 [08:19] HaskellTripleLov: You can contact MathWorks and ask about its availability with regard to your license, I'm sure. [08:19] adante: i know if you use pulseaudio and have not-2.6.31, pulseaudio will claim there are no devices [08:19] HaskellTripleLov: what about looking at there webpage? [08:19] okay, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d78c14b7c [08:19] whats the command to run nvidia config [08:19] maco: hmm, but would something like 'aplay -l' use pulseaudio? [08:19] psycho_oreos: Nintendo DS is strange and doesn't understand wpa2 or wpa... only wep... [08:19] adante: because it expects udev to tell it about the devices and only karmic's kernel uses pure udev [08:19] i want pirate version dude what webpage i aint buying it [08:20] adante: im not sure aboutt hat [08:20] I had to type that in since I can't friggin cut and paste in the OS [08:20] is there anything other than sudo apt-get install pulseaudio i need to do?

[08:21] adante: let me look up what to change [08:21] Nyoron, no that chipset should be able to do all three without an issue [08:21] when i run the nvidia settings i get: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0". ; Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1.0". [08:22] psycho_oreos, so any thoughts? [08:22] psycho_oreos: Radical, I'll test it out. (With mac filtering of course) [08:22] why can't I just move windows around in xfce [08:22] adante: try editing /etc/pulse/default.pa [08:22] jesus [08:22] memet, actually you've pasted the lspci but you've told me the chipset from the output.. now I need you to pastebin me your dmesg lol [08:22] mac filtering is almost useless [08:22] oh crap [08:23] well no, mac filtering gives you a very thin layer of protection [08:23] adante: http://paste.ubuntu.com/348001/ around line 53 [08:23] adante: and then boot 2.6.28 and see how it goes [08:23] How do I get terminal to open in full screen? [08:23] yeah but if someone actually knew how to crack a wep key, they would also know how to get past mac filter, very easy [08:24] ae86-drifter: Really? Well, I'm going to be using WEP, so I need something. [08:24] psycho_oreos, saeriously you should shud dmesg off. There is a periodic spamming going around that can DOS your maciene if you enable accept or ask for dir. [08:24] hello [08:24] dont use wep [08:24] help , my add panel (brightness applet) doesn't work ! [08:24] lol [08:25] psycho_oreos, I have a itables filter you can use if you want it. [08:25] heh i learned to mac spoof years before i learned to crack wep [08:25] you can clone someones mac address by typing sudo macchanger [type any mac here] eth0 [08:25] if they can get past the mac filter they have to wait for the specific device to either jump offline or they have to force it to disconnect.. so lets say if you have mac filtering on, and on the list it has 10 devices.. of all the time the 10 devices remain permanently associated... the attacker/intruder has to kick one off before he/she can use your net after figuring out the key [08:25] maco: thanks i'll give it a go [08:26] Younder, wha? huh? well I was talking about mac filtering in general [08:26] lol [08:26] maco, do you know how to write dynamic contect sensitive packet filters that temporarely block IP adresses? [08:26] okay, do you know what a monumental pia it is to keep closing FF and switching b/w apps in xfce === mohamed is now known as Guest27076 [08:26] maco: yes but it's not about brightness it's something similar with the background color [08:26] okay, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4c5f6011 [08:26] ubuntuuser: i dont know then [08:26] memet, using xubuntu? [08:26] Younder: no [08:26] maco: alas no luck. thanks for trying t anyway [08:26] psycho_oreos, yes [08:27] maco: hm... [08:27] help , my add panel (brightness applet) doesn't work ? [08:27] memet, should've said that earlier :p and 9.10? [08:27] yes [08:27] anyone know any workaround ? [08:27] Nyron: try to also turn dhcp off and use an unlikely IP range [08:27] I know....but I'm challenged here [08:27] another thin layer of protection, like WEP [08:27] memet, I've had no issues with 9.04 xubuntu [08:28] I just can't switch b/w apps easily [08:28] and turn off wireless when not in use [08:28] why? [08:28] or should I say, how. [08:28] memet, nothing, just saying from my personal experience [08:29] memet, you have a broadcom card in that same machine? [08:29] maco: been raeding Linux firewalls: attack detection and response by Michal Rash. Interesting as it desribes known attacks and can translate snoren rules to iptables and psad. Faster and more lightweight than Snort. [08:29] snort [08:30] is there a way to have $PATH for all shells the same (automaticly) atm bash is using another path then zsh [08:30] psycho_oreos, hrm [08:30] I don't think so [08:30] I just thought it was the pcmcia as far as I knew [08:30] Any way to change GDM theme? [08:30] Hello. I have a laptop here that had an old OS installed but it worked quite well for simple tasks like browsing, email and text editing. Now I installed a fresh Xubuntu and runs inacceptably slow. What can I do to make a minimalistic version of Ubuntu (or another linux flavour) run with comparable speed? [08:31] MindVirus: goto preferences [08:31] memet, just checking your lspci, it seems that you have two pcmcia cards.. and dmesg at one stage did load b43legacy which would indicate a broadcom wireless card was inserted [08:31] ... on old hardware? [08:31] !dsl | vlt [08:31] vlt: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [08:31] err card slots [08:31] ae86-drifter: You mean System->Administration->Login Screen? Because it doesn't give me an option to change the GDM theme. [08:31] Hi gang! Any ideas why when trying to install 9.10 through alternate install CD the bloody thing still wants to connect to the internet (and if I say no, it fails because it can not connect to some packages) [08:31] yeah, I swapped out one or two cards [08:31] just to check [08:31] iceroot: damn small ...

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [08:32] my wired popped out [08:32] memet, you're still here, did you get my last message? [08:33] about the broadcomm [08:33] yes [08:33] vs the ACX TI interface [08:33] listen either would be fine [08:33] ubuntu in spanish? [08:33] memet, the acx would probably be a bit more of an issue to get it working I think as opposed to broadcom one [08:33] !es | ald85 [08:34] ald85: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [08:34] okay so let me see if I can get the broadcom one again [08:34] memet, your laptop has dual pcmcia slots right? you can have both broadcom and ti card plugged in at the same time no? [08:35] nah [08:35] too bulky [08:35] memet, hmm ok [08:35] I have the broadcom plugged in now [08:36] Hi, my sound keeps dying everytime I close the volume control window after a short while.. please help! [08:36] memet, and still using wired connection right? [08:36] yes [08:36] I'm still wired [08:36] memet, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [08:36] memet, after typing that, reboot, and the broadcom card should work [08:36] does anyone know how to run and install an .sh file in fluxubuntu? [08:37] StupidandUgly, chmod it and do ./ in front of the filename? [08:37] StupidandUgly: sh file.sh [08:37] psycho_oreos, couldn't find the pkg [08:37] wtf..urgh agh [08:37] StupidandUgly: or use chmod +x and then ./filename.sh [08:37] I tried those [08:37] memet, do aptitude update [08:38] okay [08:38] i installed ubuntu 9 and i wanna go back to ubuntu 8 but i cant, what can i do? [08:38] how? [08:38] sorry [08:38] !downgrade | ald85 [08:38] ald85: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [08:38] man switching b/w apps in xfce is ridiculous [08:38] memet, aptitude update [08:38] duh, okay [08:38] what is b/w? black and white or bandwidth? [08:38] I run the command and I get 7: source: not found [08:39] StupidandUgly, you're missing deps [08:39] psycho_oreos can you explain? I'm a noob :l [08:40] ok ok not supported but what can i do [08:40] StupidandUgly, it seems that the script file calls specific programs, and if they aren't found, it will exit with error.. in this case it seems the program `source [08:40] isn't installed [08:40] my computer aint working properly with ubuntu 9 [08:40] Hi gang! Any ideas why when trying to install 9.10 through alternate install CD the bloody thing still wants to connect to the internet (and if I say no, it fails because it can not connect to some packages) [08:40] ald85, download 8 cd, burn it and reinstall [08:40] can I add ubuntu karmic that use ext4 to boot loader list of ubuntu 8.04? [08:40] im on a netbook and tried doing it with usb [08:40] MiiQu, theres nothing wrong with that [08:41] but it wont install [08:41] agusj, highly doubt it [08:41] psycho_oreos, it seems to have done something [08:41] so I should reboot with the card in there [08:41] ald85, any specific reasons? [08:41] memet, no [08:41] umm...okay [08:41] what do you mean [08:41] it mentions and error and gets stucked [08:42] memet, after `aptitude update' do `aptitude search b43-fwcutter' [08:42] oh shoot [08:42] psycho_oreos: The problem is that either my mobile internet sucks or ubuntu just cant handle it, either case I can not download anything with it. The connection just dies after a while. [08:42] I did the previous command sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [08:42] I dont know how to boot ubuntu karmic after installing older version [08:42] and it did some digesting [08:42] left me at the cmd prompt [08:43] so I exited [08:43] psycho_ores: that is the reason I downloaded the alternate install CD in the first place.... [08:43] MiiQu, weird, I have wireless internet and I don't have similar set of issues but I think you can postpone the updating until later on [08:43] how can I make my terninal display ~ instead of /home/me ? [08:43] memet, do `aptitude search b43-fwcutter' [08:43] does anyone know a distro of linux that is just runs a vanilla gnome [08:43] even tho I did the cmd sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter? [08:44] I need help I cannot adjust LCD brightness.It's not under power manager [08:44] MiiQu, I don't think it would matter in either case, it will still try to connect and therefore update [08:44] StupidandUgly: debian [08:44] psycho_ores: I have mobile internet. I can not postpone it. The installer fails because it can not download needed packages eventhough I select "no" from the use latest packages -question [08:44] yeah thats what i was thinking iceroot [08:44] thanks [08:44] memet, yes, this is to see if you have installed b43-fwcutter package [08:45] StupidandUgly: but you dont want the real gnome. its so bad.... ubuntu is patching so much into gnome (and sadly not upstreaming the changes to gnome) [08:45] MiiQu, hmm 9.10? [08:45] psycho_oreos: the alternate install Cd is definately ment for people without internet connection. [08:45] psycho_oreos, it says the util for extracting the b43 firmware [08:45] from psycho_oreos: 9.04 to 9.10 [08:45] from psycho_oreos: updating from 9.04 to 9.10 [08:45] MiiQu, I don't think so, alternative iirc was for pure installation only but it doesn't include any updated packages [08:45] god i want to kill my computer right now [08:46] MiiQu, ewww and that's why I don't like upgrading.. always an issue [08:46] having so many small lame problems you can't solve, #ubuntu channel [08:46] so it's there, now? [08:46] memet, what is the letter in front? p or i? [08:46] oh crap [08:46] MiiQu: wrong, the normal and the alternate cds are different in handling lvm/raid and other things but both have the same content [08:46] !alternate [08:46] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [08:46] psycho_oreos, it's "i" [08:46] I need help I cannot adjust LCD brightness.It's not under power manager [08:46] Buongiorno a tutti [08:46] psycho_oreos: Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet. [08:47] I from Italy [08:47] memet, good, its installed, now reboot and that broadcom card should work.. make sure you disconnect wired first [08:47] hi, not really ubuntu related i suppose, but i'm trying to make a bootable usb stick from 9.10 amd64 with unetbootin and get boot error. i made a ext2 fs on the usb stick however, should this be fat/vfat? [08:47] well all I really want is to run rhythm box on my mac using parallels [08:47] without ndiswrapper? I have wpa [08:47] should I reboot? [08:47] ugh [08:47] MiiQu, don't know where you're reading that from [08:47] memet, hang on [08:47] type top [08:47] ok [08:48] Would debian work? [08:48] memet, it doesn't specifically imply that with that chipset it won't work with wpa, but you can give it a shot I suppose [08:48] what will I have to do to get WPA? [08:48] memet, and I'd blacklist ndiswrapper too, it might bungle the process [08:49] memet, try it to see if it will work without ndiswrapper.. if it fails use ndiswrapper, simple as that [08:49] okay [08:49] psycho_ores: From http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:49] I don't think it's that simple, but ok [08:49] bbiam [08:52] MiiQu, bleh, either way I don't personally condone upgrading [08:53] Hi, my browser works incredibly slow. [08:53] It does DNS resolving very very very slow. [08:53] psycho_oreos: Thanks anyway. I don't know what to do either :) [08:54] Some forums say that it is because of IPv6, and I should disable IPv6 [08:54] But their solution (/etc/modprobe.d/aliases tweaking) doesn't work [08:54] hey. what program do you guys use to record a webcam? [08:54] MiiQu, whilst you have mobile internet connected, can't you simply hit the upgrade button from upgrade manager and therefore upgrade via internet? must you do a cd upgrade? [08:54] How can I disable IPv6? [08:54] :D [08:55] giantpune: the gimp [08:55] spooky_: you dont haveb to [08:55] is there no ddrescue on ubuntu? can't seem to find package [08:55] phix: what should I do instead? [08:55] spooky_: get used to it :) [08:55] phix: that's not an option. [08:55] spooky_: IPv6 is here to stay! [08:55] Most ISPs are moving over to it [08:55] It may be here to stay, but it shouldn't slow down my DNS resolving. [08:56] spooky_: IPv4 exhastion is predicted in 3 - 4 yrs [08:56] I don't care about IPv6, I just care about my DNS resolving going slow. [08:56] psycho_oreos: Yes, that is how I have hoped to do it for weeks now. It downloads 10-20 packages and then the connection dies. If I reboot the computer it will download around 20 packages more. Has taken a while but now it apparently got some packages from the alternate CD and now I am going 1269/1336 packages [08:56] spooky_: IPv6 is a better protocol any way, makes ARP obsolete for one [08:56] Hi, has anyone ever been able to connect to someone on ichat using empathy or pidgin? [08:56] spooky_: then do some caching or use googles user cache [08:57] I know how to set the brightness , install compiz manager and enable the setting brightness control via keyboard Thanks [08:57] spooky_: google google DNS server [08:57] psycho_oreos: browser, email etc work perfectly but the connection dies for the updater [08:57] psycho_oreos, I owe you [08:57] I'm talking from my wireless [08:57] MiiQu, you have a weird mobile internet provider [08:57] memet: congrats [08:57] memet, coolies, glad that worked.. too bad about the ti part [08:57] now I have to figure out how to use this stupid wm [08:58] memet: I am talking over my Nokia mobile phone :) [08:58] phix: I know what IPv6 is, but hear me when I say this: DNS resolving should be adapted to my setup. It should be configurable still. [08:58] the problem i cannot set at brightness applet because compiz overlap it [08:58] via blue tooth and 3g . UTMS [08:58] spooky_: so ? [08:58] psycho_oreos: Or its the ubuntu thats wanking all up. Or the sunspots and solar winds. my ISP has hindered p2p on mobile internet but I dont know if it affects this [08:58] And I am using a router to connect to my ISP. [08:58] Inside my home, I'm IPv4 [08:58] spooky, it is configurable, edit /etc/resolv.conf [08:59] psycho_oreos: thanks, that's a better hint. [08:59] memet: dont forget the swamp gas, that screws with me every now an then [08:59] spooky_: ? [08:59] and squirrels, cant trust those sneaky devils [08:59] memet: hehe [09:00] MiiQu, afaik the update manager would simultaneously grab more than one package at a time.. depending on your connection.. and if downloading excessively, your isp which blocks p2p would count that as p2p I suppose.. too much speed used in such duration [09:00] Is it possible to connect to ichat using either pidgin or empathy? [09:00] phix have we met? [09:00] memet: nick complete fail [09:00] memet: blame the authors of irssi :) [09:00] MiiQu, if an ISP does that whilst you're on mobile connection.. I deem them lame [09:01] xubuntu is updating [09:01] holy crap [09:01] memet: I like xubuntu [09:01] mobile internet isn't cheap, so it gives them no right to do that but heck whatever constitutes their freedom I'm sure you have the right to switch to another provider that is far more friendly [09:01] I use xfc4 on my debian box under VNC [09:01] I'm on xubuntu 9.04 [09:02] shoujld I raise on pocket 10s ?

Forfurther discussion, please join #ubuntu-ops [09:05] yes in windows no prob [09:05] memet, probably 9.10 lol that's why I haven't upgraded yet [09:05] jussi01: ok [09:05] not in 9.10 [09:05] ugh [09:05] well windows is different :) [09:05] this is ridiculous [09:05] why can't I do simple things [09:05] should I have installed 9.04 [09:06] I'll never remember all those cmds [09:06] like konversation there must be a default name to put it into a script for install [09:06] memet, go into Applications > Settings > Window Manager [09:07] under the keyboard bindings you should be able to see which combo allows you to cycle windows.. if nothing assigned, you can assign yourself one [09:07] Guest31458, you meant packages? [09:07] yes psycho [09:08] Guest31458, there's multiple ways.. apt-cache search, aptitude search, or using synaptic [09:09] kan man skriva.. grattis på tillökningsdagen.. till några som fått barn =) === superpiiii is now known as JinStach [09:09] speedxxx2ore, #ubuntu-offtopic and english [09:09] so i have an external harddrive that has fedora on it with encryption [09:09] i plug it into the computer i'm on now [09:09] which is ubuntu [09:09] i read something to only stick with one packages i think something to do with DEB and other kinds. do you know anything about this? [09:10] and it asks for the encryption password and when i give it it gives me this error message Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Command failed: Device already exists [09:10] !se | speedxxx2ore [09:10] speedxxx2ore: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du i #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [09:10] Guest31458, not sure what you mean, stick with one packages [09:11] hi, I'm on karmic 64 and I want to block echo requests to limit the use of the network card, on help.ubuntu.com say to edit the file / etc / ufw / before.rules but opens a blank file, is this normal? [09:11] Guest31458, on ubuntu .deb packages are generally used, on some other linux distros .rpm is common. Probably best on ubuntu to use .deb packages when they are available, but .rpm can be used if necessary [09:11] MrDudle: You can run the "unlocking" manually: `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/your-crypted-partition name-for-uncrypted-device` [09:11] k [09:11] there's other forms like tar.gz, tar.bz2, etc [09:13] vlt, i get this after doing that 160 GB Hard Disk: 160 GB Encrypted [09:13] i thought tar.gz and bz2 are only archives [09:13] or am i supposed to include the ` ` [09:14] Guest31458: and you were right [; [09:14] MrDudle: No, run the command without "`". [09:14] vlt, that's what i did [09:14] still said no [09:15] MrDudle: What is the name of the encrypted partition? === Guest31458 is now known as The_Shark_001 [09:15] 160 GB Hard Disk: 160 GB Encrypted [09:15] MrDudle: No, I mean in /dev/ [09:15] oh [09:15] let me check [09:15] MrDudle: Should be something like /dev/sdb1 for example [09:16] i think it's sdb1 yeah [09:16] MrDudle: What does `blkid` show you? [09:16] The_Shark_001, no it could contain anything, including source codes for some program that you may want to compile from scratch [09:16] I have 3 IDE hard drives Same size same make. Thinking putting them on a raid. Is it easy to install ubuntu onto a raid system? [09:16] how can i get a log of the logins that a user do in the system? [09:16] thedoor: `last` [09:17] vlt i assume you mean to run the blkid in the terminal? if so nothing [09:17] thedoor: Yes. [09:17] vlt sdc1 [09:17] vlt, tks :) [09:18] The_Shark_001: I run a non-redundant root disk and a raid1 md device for /home. It's worked well for me. Is that the sort of configuration you are looking for or are you wanting a raid root device? [09:18] hi. i am a n00b to ubuntu. is there any way to use apt-get to see what packages i can install (e.g. yum list kern*) ? [09:18] MrDudle: (Where did you run the cryptsetup cmd, if not in a terminal?) Maybe you need to run every command prepended with `sudo` [09:18] Dovid[Laptop]: aptitude search kern* [09:18] thanks [09:18] k [09:18] i'm thinking of putting everything on the raid [09:18] doing a 0+1 [09:19] vlt, cryptsetup: luksOpen: requires as arguments [09:19] The_Shark_001: I don't believe you can do 0+1 with 3 disks. You can do 1, you can do 4, you can do 5. But I don't believe 0+1 or 1+0 are options. [09:19] The_Shark_001: You need 4 drives for 0+1 [09:19] Ah, you can do 0 as well. [09:19] The_Shark_001: For 0+1 you need at least four drives. With three of them I'd recommend Raid5 [09:20] And you can't boot off a raid5. [09:20] well i was think doing the copy to the Sata drive unless that is not possible. [09:20] So the best option in that case is to have a non-redundant root disk and then a raid1 for your data. [09:20] hi i'm am trying to back up my ubuntu installation so that i can do a clean install on a new drive and keep all the drivers and apps and things so that it is basically the same computer just with a new hard drive in it [09:21] Dan48p: dd [09:21] ewook, sorry? [09:21] vlt, what does the cryptsetup: luksOpen: requires as arguments mean [09:21] gdb, Or go for a RAID10 [09:21] !dd [09:21] The_Shark_001: That's right. I'd make two partitions on every disk: One small boot partition running as raid1 (even with 3 or more members) and a second partition as members of a raid5. [09:21] !info dd [09:21] Package dd does not exist in karmic [09:21] S0LIDUS: That's not an option with 3 disks. [09:21] *_* [09:21] someone has made a booboo with the factoids. [09:22] MrDudle: That's exactly the command I gave you before. `cryptsetup luksOpen source target` [09:22] gdb, Woops my bad. There is always an LV though [09:22] ewook: dd isn't a package [09:22] ewook: I think dd is part of a *utils package [09:22] vit then i can mix the ide drives (3) with the sata drive [09:22] vlt, when i run it that's what it gives me [09:22] ewook: it's in the package coreutils [09:22] gdb: thought so === gnomeye is now known as gnomeye`work [09:22] ddrescue was in the gddrescue package for which i had to enable additional repositories [09:22] MrDudle: What exactly do you run? I can't see xour screen. [09:22] MrDudle: Example --> sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 White-Forest [09:23] oh ok [09:23] concerning unetbootin, dunno if it is supposed to work with ext2, but worked fine when switching to vfat [09:23] thx [09:23] well, even so, the answer is wrong :) [09:23] kinja-sheep, i get it [09:23] The_Shark_001: Just curious... why do you want to set up a RAID? [09:23] the speed [09:23] moin [09:23] ewook: No it isn't, package dd doesn't exist because it isn't a package [09:23] The_Shark_001: Then you don't want raid5 [09:23] What sort of speed are you looking for? Reads or writes? [09:23] ardchoille: so, !info is just for packages? [09:24] vlt now i get Command failed: Can not access device [09:24] ewook: That's what I thought it was for [09:24] hey [09:24] what does gnu means [09:24] ardchoille: oh. I thought it was more generic-query. nevermind then :) [09:24] ece: GNU's Not Unix [09:24] ece: GNU's Not Unix [09:24] ece: It's a recursive acronym. [09:24] there is some automated way to save everything? i would look at just cloning the installation but i am going to be installing a ssd and i think it needs different partition formatting [09:24] what about corruption? [09:24] vlt at least uit's letting me format now [09:25] i mean GPL is general public license [09:25] echelon: That's correct. And GNU is "GNU's Not Unix". [09:25] Dan48p: you can use PartImage to clone the drive and then install the image on any number of boxes, that's what I do with my 11 computers. [09:25] !sysresccd | Dan48p [09:25] Dan48p: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM. It contains a number of admin tools including gparted and partimage. http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page [09:25] ii mea [09:26] GPL is general public license [09:26] is there something like tjhat [09:26] ,,, [09:26] ece: Which is correct, as you've already said. [09:26] ...* [09:26] nice channel [09:26] ardchoille, will that allow me to change from ext3? [09:26] ece: What are you asking? [09:26] someone awoke me from the dead, how dare they [09:26] Dan48p: Not sure about that, never done it [09:26] How do I get C man in the terminal? [09:26] GNU what is the whole sentence [09:26] general what what [09:27] ece: I've told you several times. It stands for "GNU's Not Unix." [09:27] ece: It's recursive [09:27] ece, gnu stands for gnu's not unix [09:27] The G doesn't mean General, it means "GNU's" [09:27] Stx: oh, you weren't in here. Marlin is a bot as well, same spam. [09:27] floodbot has muted it. [09:28] ece: a recursive acronym is an acronym where it refers to the acronym itself, like how GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix" and PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" [09:28] ece: From http://www.gnu.org/ - The name \u201cGNU\u201d is a recursive acronym for \u201cGNU's Not Unix!\u201d; it is pronounced g-noo, as one syllable with no vowel sound between the g and the n. [09:28] hmmü, [09:28] bah, stupid formatting codes [09:29] * ece pain of salvation best === ece is now known as hellyeah [09:31] you are awesome man [09:31] man are you awesome [09:32] awesome are you man.. blerg [09:32] ...lol [09:32] !ot [09:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:35] hi anyone know if konquor webbrowser can play youtube vids [09:35] It can, it requires flash plugin from adobe [09:35] yes I use it for utube eh BigBoy [09:35] !flash | BigBoy [09:35] BigBoy: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:35] yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [09:36] look at .konquer [09:36] If you are doing a manual install on, you need to go into konqueror settings and there on page at plugins do a "refresh" to find the installed thing. [09:36] Im actually trying to mess around a bit with mplayer as a dvd player really ... there is the issue with buttons around ... === fen[zZzZ] is now known as fengor [09:37] They have been added and there should be compiled support but for some reason around it comes "empty" ... [09:37] Where do I download the 32 bit version of libpthread-stubs0 ? [09:37] gheddy_zarc: ardchoille how it says it does not have latest flash although i can play them in ff and chrome [09:37] BigBoy, did you read the line where i said go to konquerors plugins page and there press "refresh" [09:37] BigBoy: You should really ask in #kubuntu as that browser is part of kde and kubuntu is the place to be [09:39] Hi all. Has anyone dealt with UltraSurf ( www.ultrareach.com ) ? It's a firewall bypasser software which basically proxifies your websurfing. [09:40] Or perhaps some problem could be that of im using the accelerated libraries ... from nvidia for dvds that isnt usually on configs by the default. [09:40] jasa: is that webpage there is no plugins tab [09:40] BigBoy, hmm you go to the konqueror settings ... there on around last lines ... what tabs there are ? [09:40] iKernel: do you not have libpthread-stub0 installed? Or are you using a 64 bit system and you are looking for a 32 bit package? [09:40] stubs0* [09:41] gdb, using a 64 bit system and looking for a 32 bit package [09:41] tried googling [09:42] Is there a way I can mount an ext4 filesystem on intrepid? [09:43] hi... gnome-volume-control is overriding my alsamixer settings [09:43] how do I prevent that? [09:43] jasa: there is no refresh button and no flash plugin installed for konqueror. does it actually use the system flash or need its own plugin [09:43] I make my mic work in alsamixer and then gnome-volume-control messes it up again [09:44] iKernel: So you're using amd64 and you're looking for i386.. Can you download the i386 package from here? === zcat[1] is now known as zl3cat [09:44] iKernel: ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpthread-stubs/ [09:44] hello [09:44] iKernel: i386 and amd64 packages are both there. [09:44] wolter: install gnome-alsamixer and use that instead of alsmixer should solc things [09:45] I run 9.10 with alsa & pulseaudio but can get any sound out of my speakers, please can onyone help? [09:45] I never successfully set up alsa rightly on my machine [09:45] gdb, thanks [09:45] BigBoy, i have it but gnome-alsamixer doesn't seem to handle my capture settings [09:45] BigBoy, system flash is enought, but from my noticements there is that one it looks where they are installed at and one needs to do that manually. [09:45] iKernel: Sure thing! I was just trying to figure out how to grab a package from a different arch, and figured the best solution would be to grab it directly from the respository without using a package manager. :-) [09:46] pavel_, stick to alsa, get away from pulseaudio [09:46] mka, just purge pulseaudio? [09:46] BigBoy, would you know if there is some file i can set as read only in order to keep my settings? [09:46] pavel_, no SELECT alsa [09:46] gdb, well GDebi isn't having a bar of it, gives me Error: Wrong architecture [09:46] wolter: go into ubuntu system sound settings if you haven't tried that. [09:46] gdb, Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' [09:46] I might try installing it using dpkg [09:47] wolter: for what [09:47] pavel_, ALT_F2 then type gnome-sound-properties and ENTER [09:47] BigBoy, so that only I can manipulate my audio card's settings [09:47] mka, there are no devices marked ALSA in hw selection [09:47] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [09:47] BigBoy, I don't see it in my menu [09:47] iKernel: I'd recommend against installing it on your system. I'm assuming you're trying to do cross-platform development. It will clobber the installed package if you force it and you'll be stuck with, well, 32 bit pthread support on a 64 bit system. I'm not sure what issues that may cause you. [09:47] lol [09:48] i have a 16:9 screen .. have a intel 845GL chipset. I am unable to get anything but 4:3 and 5:4 screen resolutions.. How can i correct this [09:48] Hmm, odd person that Miokoda ... -.- [09:48] agreed :-) [09:48] iKernel: Actually, come to think of it, it may not have anything in it. That package, I mean. [09:48] iKernel: It may just be a readme. [09:48] * MrDudle who just sent me the video link? [09:48] mka, no such a command or app... [09:48] jasa, not a person, I think. [09:49] gdb, actually, I'm trying to compile something for wine, trying to get wineasio support in wine. [09:49] BigBoy, what should I run? now that I don't see it in my menu [09:49] iKernel: The package description seems to indicate that and on my i386 system (Debian Lenny) the package is just documentation with no binary content. [09:49] I have default sound card though, but it won't open [09:49] gdb, and wineasio doesn't like the 64 bit stubs.h when i compile it [09:49] gdb, hmm, ill try again with compiling wineasio [09:49] I had an attack from XChat!! [09:50] I had an attack and many windows popped up [09:50] same attack on my side [09:50] mka, it was some person named Mikoda. [09:50] mka, yeah we all did [09:50] i think he has been kicked out [09:50] jasa, who is this person [09:50] Bwahaha, Miakoda just tried to spam me and now he/she is gone. [09:50] mka, probably not even a person [09:50] yea,in the autokill list ^^ [09:50] mka, just a programmed "robot" [09:50] daaamn [09:51] That's like the 3rd time this month I've been hit. [09:51] thats comes, gets all users, and asks them to share the rare file [09:51] yeah.. .me too [09:51] Is my computer safe now? [09:51] iKernel: Take a look at 'dpkg -s libpthreads-stubs0' and 'dpkg -L libpthreads-stubs0' on your system and see if you get the same results. I'm not using a specific version of Ubuntu so your package may be different (but, being Debian, it's close enough, eh?) ;-) [09:51] can someone tell me how to mount a cd via the terminal? [09:51] I am paranoid [09:51] luckily i chose no windows to open on transfer requests [09:51] gdb tried doing an ln -s stubs-64.h stubs-32.h and got a /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpthread.so when searching for -lpthread [09:51] gdb yeah ok [09:51] StupidandUgly, sudo mount /dev/scd0 mountpoint [09:51] mka: Configure XChat to ignore all DCC and file transfers. [09:51] StupidandUgly, look for it in the wiki [09:51] or that [09:52] ya who sent that [09:52] thanks kinja-sheep [09:52] kinja-sheep, occasionally I want something sent to me, but I do have it set not to auto-accept them :P [09:52] Hiall. I make lsmod and I see "asus_laptop 21092 0" row, is that zero like module not in use? [09:52] baaaan him [09:52] iKernel: I'll guess that the stubs you need are part of libc itself and will not be provided by the stubs0 package (which does not contain any content on platforms that already contain the full set of pthread stubs you need in libc itself). [09:53] (as per the description, and file listing, of libpthreads-stubs0) [09:53] gdb yeah you're right, I already had the stubs .h files I needed [09:53] No worries! [09:53] ahh the sound in 9.10 is totally screwed up, had an issue with that on frineds older laptop and finally I downgraded it to 8.04 [09:53] gdb well not really, I still need the stubs-32.h file [09:53] hrm [09:53] how can I mount ext4 partition on intrepid? [09:53] i might try just grabbing it off the web [09:54] can anyone link me to a source.list file that will work for 7.10 [09:54] im using fluxbuntu so mount point command didn't work :( [09:54] StupidandUgly, 7.10 is no longer supported [09:55] iKernel: That should be in the package libc6-dev-i386. [09:55] gdb ooh [09:55] StupidandUgly, there should be "mount" command in your system by default [09:56] so I cannot get any apps for fluxbuntu? it is 7.10 [09:56] were does alsamixer save changes? [09:56] iKernel: /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h is in libc6-dev-i386 and intended for installation on amd64 systems. I use packages.debian.org to find all this and it's a value add I wish Ubuntu provided. But since Ubuntu is based on Debian, the results should be "close enough" for Ubuntu. [09:56] mka, sorry to bother you again, but what should I do when I can not see any alsa devices in sound properties dialog [09:56] gdb, considering it's a package in Canocial, i should be good [09:56] StupidandUgly: if 7.10 is no longer supported, that means the packages have been removed from the servers so having the sources.list file wouldnn't do you any good [09:56] iKernel: And there you go! :-D [09:57] gdb, and wineasio compiles without any error! :-D [09:57] thanks for the help gdb [09:57] pavel_, you mean ALSA is not appearing under available sound systems? [09:58] iKernel: Very good! [09:58] pavel_, there should be at least ALSA, PulseAudio, OSS available there [09:59] mka, do you have a [Sound] entry in your preferences menu? [09:59] I dont.. [09:59] Is there anyway I could update my fluxbuntu to a supported version? [09:59] If you do, mka, could you tell me the executable it calls? [09:59] mka, I am not sure whethe we talk about the same dialog: I right.-click the volume icon in panel and choose sound properties [09:59] I guess fluxbuntu is unofficial so I guess not [10:00] wolter, that is the same as gnome-sound-properties [10:00] gdb, and since I didn't have to grab anything extra from anywhere apart from the ubuntu repositories, it might be worth my while to submit a wineasio package [10:00] StupidandUgly: I would say contact the fluxbuntu folks and see what they say === Yos_ is now known as Yos [10:01] pavel_, no we talk about different stuffs [10:01] oh my... i don't have that [10:01] installed [10:01] pavel_, ALT_F2 and then run gnome-sound-properties [10:01] iKernel: That's beyond me, I don't know Canonical's (or Ubuntu's) policies regarding inclusion of NMU's in main. But good luck with getting it included, I hope you meet with success. :-) [10:01] pavel_, or equivalently, System > Preferences > Sound [10:01] gdb, what's nmu? [10:02] mka, theres no such a thing as gnome-sound-properties on my system, neither installable package that name [10:02] mka, yes I am there [10:02] iKernel: non-maintainer uploads (and in this case, that may be the wrong term since the packge isn't a part of Ubuntu at all yet). [10:02] can you recommend me blog software with tagging support? [10:02] pavel_, hmmmm, I am on intrepid, I am not sure what had replaced this then [10:03] pavel_, you are on karmic, am I right? [10:03] mka, ok nevermind, yep I am on KK [10:03] oh mka i think karmic doesn't have that package [10:03] yeah... its awful that it got replaced [10:03] pavel_, what is your problem again? [10:04] mka, theres is a second card in sound properties dialog and there I can choose device, but there is no ALSA, no Pulse or OSS [10:04] gdb, hmm, well ubuntu-studio-desktop is a package, but not in canocial, maybe I'll try to get wineasio included in ubuntu-studio-desktop [10:04] wolter, I see devices, I have volume on 100% but I can hear no sound [10:04] pavel_, are you using pulseaudio? [10:05] pavel_, open sound preferences [10:05] wolter, I installed pulseaudio [10:05] ok [10:05] then tell me what you see in [Sound Preferences > Hardware > Profile:] [10:05] tell me your entries [10:06] hola [10:06] !es | fet [10:06] fet: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[10:28] XeroXer-: good point, i'll try that way without backup, i dont have much time [10:28] dath: what do you mean "lock the system down" ? [10:28] hi everybody! i have a problem that puzzles me for several days. it is like this: when power on my laptop, after the bios and grub, the screen would prompt this -- Starting up ... Loading, please wait.... then an error>>usb 3-1: device not accepting address 2, error-71. ..... this error definitely slows down the booting up speed. i googled but found no proper answer. my usb mouse is okay, but the error is really anoying me. anybody any thoughts? thx ahead.

You are using a normal account for the users, no ? [10:30] Xaero, can you CONVERT ntfs to EXT3 without losing data inside? [10:30] dath, install pessulus and play with it. Also look at using selinux or apparmor to lock down even more [10:30] does anyone know how to set up vzaccess manager? [10:30] night_elf: the account they use has sudo rights, but logs in automatically so they can't install anything [10:30] mka: yes [10:30] Xaero, how? [10:31] dath: and what sort of changes are you trying to prevent from happening ?

[10:33] disappearedng, if it's a tar.bz2, you might want to use tar -jxvf instead of bunzip2 [10:33] Seveas: it's not tar.bz2, just a .xml.bz2 file [10:34] disappearedng, then bunzip2 it is.

[10:38] dath: I believe that account that's used that way, should not have sudo rights, so they can't install stuff. Then, another thing is to create a directory /home/user.backup which is a copy of the initial /home/user and what you can do is that when the machine powers up, you have a init script that removes the /home/user and copies /home/user.backup in its stead everytime. [10:40] dath: Night_Elf sounds like kiosk-mode [10:41] iceroot: oh? ^^ makes sense that it's not me the one to come first with such an idea, hehe [10:41] Night_Elf: yes, its a mode for internet-cafes and so on to protect the system and minimize the possibilitys a user has [10:42] iceroot: which is exactly what dath needs [10:42] hello good morning [10:42] i would like some help [10:42] !ask | h00jie [10:42] h00jie: 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. :-) [10:42] the problem is i can't do it with scripts which copy home dirs. the system has to be updated every time new updates come out. and i can't use a server to boot from net. [10:43] dath: google for ubuntu kiosk mode. i dont know the buzzword for ubottu [10:43] dath: updates are independent of what happens in user directories. And the shell is a two liner: 1) rm -rf /home/user 2) cp -p /home/user.backup /home/user [10:44] ok then ... i have a problem in changing the language english - greek i can only write english in ubuntu 9.10 [10:44] i press alt - shift and nothing happens [10:45] h00jie: enabled greek layout? [10:45] dath: and also, check what iceroot said. If there exists such a thing, there's no need to reinvent the wheel [10:45] h00jie: system - settings - keyboard layout i think is the eglish name for that menu-entry [10:45] looks like kde deals better with locking down functions [10:46] m8 w8 plz to log in english menu [10:47] dath: it's the same thing. If there's no sudo rights, you can't play with the system. All you can do is play with your own user's settings. Which are reset of the home directory is copied over. The name is irrelevant: kde, gnome, enlightenment, wmaker, etc [10:47] *reset when* === kb is now known as Guest71392 [10:49] iceroot i only have system -preferences [10:49] i have no idea what i'm doing but i need help to run a program from CD that worked on windows....

[10:54] does anyone know if there is a path name or file name length limit in linux? [10:54] jerry2600: Any limitation is of the filesystem, not Ubuntu.

[10:56] jerry2600: define "better" [10:56] jerry2600: ext3 is standard on most distros, many are also dabbling with ext4.

[12:12] wal3, so you only need to install the boot sector bit of grub, and not all the menus etc. [12:12] jeffrey_: well it would fit in 4 gb but its up to you [12:12] what tool do you normally use to highlight strings in command output? [12:13] jcdutton: grub-setup /dev/sda says invalid device :/ [12:13] same with sda1 [12:13] i currently use 4gb for 9.04 and its tad on the low end [12:13] How do I set rights for floppy0? I can't write files to the floppy. /dev/fd0 has 666, /media/floppy0 -> Properties -> Rights says only owner can create files/folders.

[12:19] there is 32 bit too [12:19] niko: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [12:19] erUSUL: I dont see a plugin for it? [12:19] ghostcube, I compiled wineasio on a 64 bit system, does this make it automatically 64 bit? [12:19] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:20] ActionParsnip: Ah, yeah that should work then. Thanks for the hint. [12:20] FyreFoX: neither do i; too bad :| strongswan seems the closest thing [12:20] iKernel: yep [12:20] ActionParsnip: what does that actually do behind the scenes?

When the mount is mounted fstab is read, if n entry exists the options are used [12:21] no i meant the dpkg-reconfigure gdm [12:21] hylasmikeler: once the diesc is installed format it (use gparted).

Any suggestions? [12:47] hi can someone message me with some help regarding dual monitors? i kmow its simple and there are posts on the net, they almost solve the problem but not entirely [12:47] Tristen55: use /msg ubottu hi [12:47] SaBoot: yes [12:47] reisio when I type apturl in terminal it shows as a command [12:47] drbobb: modify fstab to give the relevant access [12:47] reisio, is there a name for doing this? [12:47] theDom: what's the problem? What graphics card? [12:47] so, when I click on the link on the web, why doesn't it find the command> [12:48] drbobb: you can use the uid option to specify user [12:48] ActionParsnip: no. I mean access to raw devices, not mounted filesystems [12:48] i.e. what might I need to do to help FF find apturl [12:48] memet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL [12:48] I am using 9.10, have installed flash, but flash sites (ie youtube) don't work [12:48] any options? [12:48] reisio, thanks [12:48] memet: usually you have to "registry" 3rd party protocols with Firefox, I don't remember how, hopefully it's explained on that page [12:48] bonhoffer, did you install the plugin for your browser? [12:48] excuse me, "register" [12:48] drbobb: not sure than [12:49] bonhoffer: how did you install flash? [12:49] ActionParsnip: i think i do have that installed [12:49] ive got the dual monitors working for now with nvidia, but the .conf file wont save. i tried the suggested solution of creating a new copy of the file with the existing data in, but permissions dont allow me [12:49] theDom: you should be able to save it from nvidia's control panel [12:49] so that approach didnt work [12:49] ActionParsnip: my guess is it involves mucking with udev rules, but I can't make it work [12:50] theDom: You mean the xorg.conf ? save it to a different location in your /home/whatever then copy the file to the proper place is one way [12:50] i know, but it gives me "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [12:50] KrimZon: worth a check dude === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [12:50] drbobb: not done anything like that personally [12:50] theDom: try to delete the old one [12:50] reisio, sorry but is there a name for connecting to computers this way? Im trying to research this [12:50] ActionParsnip: doing a reinstall - i have the ppas in my sources.list already [12:51] theDom: use: gksudo nvidia-settings [12:51] SaBoot: try searching for: linux + crossover cable [12:51] okay [12:51] thanks [12:51] theDom: you can then write to the xorg.conf file [12:51] SaBoot: there are a few approaches, but that should get you started [12:51] wowoto: that doesnt work, cant re-write or delete it, or even add the the folder [12:51] Dr_Willis, via ubuntu softwaRE center [12:51] theDom: if you have a clen install of karmic you wont have an xorg.conf file so will need to make one with: sudo nvidia-xconfig [12:51] actionparsnip: ok ill try that [12:51] reisio, I think i can take it from here, thank you [12:52] theDom: useL sudo gnome-open filepath [12:52] hi,guys [12:52] ah I found the bot wiki page!!!

[12:53] hers my xorg.conf for an example for my nvidia system. You could copy it to /etc/X11/ then run the n vidia settings tool. [12:53] http://pastebin.com/f4c3ac7cc [12:53] ActionParsnip: it seems to have updated but still uses the wrong font settings or something - they look jagged compared to everything else, but still using some kind of smoothing. I cant figure out what exactly it's doing [12:54] Actionparsnip: i tried that and got "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [12:54] i want to use the command "write" to talk to the other user in ubuntu [12:54] hi.im im using feisty fawn.and I have problem in playing rmvb [12:54] KrimZon: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [12:54] but ,wirte is turned off [12:54] theDom: heres is my xorg.conf for an example for my nvidia system.

[12:55] reisio,do you know how to make it? [12:55] theDom: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinnit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:56] yinlong: oh that [12:56] anyone has any solution to oplay rmbv file in fesity? [12:56] anyone else had troubles getting flash working in 9.10 with firefox? [12:56] reisio,how ? [12:56] yinlong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_%28Unix%29#Usage ? [12:56] juo: cant mplayer work ? [12:56] juo: i dont know about fiesty. but ive been able to play rmbv with Mplayer/vlc and the w32codecs packs In the past. [12:56] nope [12:56] bonhoffer: its working fine on my system.. i had installed flash separately earlier through a deb file [12:56] downloaded through adobe site [12:56] any quick fix for this? [12:56] juo: you might have to rebuild mplayer with additional support [12:57] nagpai, so the Ubuntu Software Center is not recommended? [12:57] juo: otherwise there _is_ a realplayer for Linux [12:57] :( been trying for one whole day googling [12:57] for flash? [12:57] if you can stand having such annoying software on your computer [12:57] bonhoffer: can you use: http://pastebin.com to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [12:57] nagpai, i'll try that [12:57] bonhoffer: you most likely have multiple flash plugins wich are conflicting [12:57] !lts [12:57] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [12:58] Fiesty is rather.. old release .. you may want to consioder upgradeing [12:58] bonhoffer: if you give the output we can clean them all out then give you the one package which will give you flash [12:58] ActionParsnip, interesting [12:58] o.k. [12:58] as im using a webgateway to this room will ubotu be able to show my requests? [12:58] bonhoffer: you dont need the adobe site at all, the package on the official repos downloads what you need from adobes site [12:58] 10.04 is names Lucid Lynx? Thats pretty much the most epic name ever D: [12:58] Tristen55: requests? [12:58] one line answer: ii flashplugin-installer 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [12:59] well i did this /msg ubottu hi but got nothing back [12:59] Kamokow: im sick of the cute animal names.. they just seem to cause more confuiseion these days [12:59] ActionParsnip, that is what i was reading online [12:59] bonhoffer: ok cool: run: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [12:59] Dr_Willis: True, but Lucid Lynx is still an epic name :D [12:59] Tristen55: try /msg ubottu !hi [12:59] Kamokow: i give it a C- [12:59] ActionParsnip, ok [13:00] Kamokow: now Burping Baboon.... [13:00] Dr_Willis: XD [13:00] ActionParsnip, trying again (restarting firefox) [13:00] If people don't know that the versions are going down the alphabet, the animals themselves don't give a point of reference which version is higher [13:00] ie intrepid/hardy [13:00] nope still nothing with "/msg ubottu !hi" [13:01] Id rather see people just stick to the actual version #. [13:01] !hi > Tristen55 [13:01] Tristen55, please see my private message [13:01] Tristen55: /msg ubottu hi not !hi [13:01] ActionParsnip, after your command, youtube gives me: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " [13:01] Tristen55: ! is only used in this channel. using /msg ubottu you dont use ! [13:01] iceroot: Actually it doesnt matter.

[13:02] ops sorry guys I wasnt looking properly [13:02] ActionParsnip, shouldn't be -- i 'll check. btw: http://pastebin.com/m904f8db [13:03] Pici: test it, its different [13:03] ActionParsnip, js is enabled [13:03] bonhoffer: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer  [13:03] ok [13:04] now try again? [13:04] bonhoffer: you will need to lose the browser then open it again [13:04] any vmware guy ? [13:04] ActionParsnip, ok doing that [13:05] ActionParsnip, not working -- thanks for your help, there has to be something simple here [13:05] ubottu seems to have an anti-spam filter [13:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:05] sandeep_: got a question? Spit it out [13:06] guys how can i enable battery stats, and suspend feature with acpi=off in /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [13:06] bonhoffer: ok can you run: sudo find / -name "*.so" | grep flash [13:06] there is a repo for 64bit flash if anyone is interested. :) [13:06] sarthork1: you can not? is acpi what provides all that info. if you shut it off they are not aviable; afaics [13:07] trying to install vmware server 2.0 [13:07] http://pastebin.com/d2a8b46af [13:07] !vmware [13:07] duffydack: can just copy the .so to the right folder if you need, a repo is a little ott [13:07] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [13:07] ubottu: VirtualBox is pretty good [13:07] ActionParsnip, Im lazy :) easier to update [13:07] and there's an open source version [13:07] reisio: ubottu is a bot. [13:07] ubottu: if you have the right hardware, kvm in the kernel is good [13:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:07] erUSUL, shouldnt turning apm ON do something? [13:07] Pici: oh, he sounds like he needs help :p [13:07] duffydack: depends if the repo maintainer updates the repo regularly [13:08] sarthork1: apm is ancient... [13:08] true [13:08] we had this lovely bot in #gentoo once that would send the help factoids specifically to people's nicks [13:08] sarthork1: why do you need acpi off ?

[13:09] in-channel would be nicer :) === mfreenet is now known as Mikee [13:09] !botabuse | reisio [13:09] reisio: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [13:09] iceroot: oh-ho :) thanks [13:10] ActionParsnip: i can't seem to get firefox-3.5-gnome-support to install, it says it depends on xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support which i can't see anywhere [13:10] reisio: | to post in channel, > to post as pm [13:10] lovely === Mikee is now known as mfreenet [13:10] KrimZon: install firefox then instead of 3.5 [13:11] i use this http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/27/how-to-play-rmvb-files-in-ubuntu/ but gives me error of init when opening the clip [13:11] juo: where's this clip?

[13:12] juo: do you have ffmpeg? [13:12] I have a problem with my ubuntu 9.10 [13:12] ffmpeg is a tool? [13:12] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m50b81d08 [13:12] dath: run it with gksudo [13:13] sarthork1: too bad :/ ... [13:13] dath: you can not [13:13] hello all i looking for a solution to compile a simple mpi c++ program i need it for school, i have all the mpi and mpich libraries installed on my ubuntu karmic but i don't know how to use it...there are plenty of tutorials but i am too stupid to make it work..please help me someone [13:13] dath: raw sockets need root [13:13] there would be occasions when I do a right click and a popup menu appears and then the menu get hang.. the mouse is still workable but nothing can be clicked [13:13] why is that so ? [13:13] My mouse is still working [13:13] erUSUL: can't i do anything about it and get battery stats back somehow? [13:13] bonhoffer: ok there is no flash plugin installed. run: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin*; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:13] erUSUL:with acpi stil off [13:14] sarthork1: really dunno; sorry [13:14] dath, you need to be root to run wireshark [13:14] ActionParsnip, glad you can figure this out [13:14] maybe because it needs to access some system resource that's why you need to do a sudo [13:14] bonhoffer: if this fails we'll go old school rather than the stupid packages [13:15] ActionParsnip, did it [13:15] ActionParsnip: that leaves me with only firefox 3.0 [13:15] erUSUL: okay. is there some way i can boot easily with acpi on then? [13:15] bonhoffer: got flash after a browser reboot? [13:15] KrimZon: ok now try: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [13:15] KrimZon: if you have the mozill appa it will have the xulrunner needed [13:16] ActionParsnip, i'll test -- see results of my latest find: http://pastebin.com/m4870d19a [13:16] did anyone know how to compile and run a CPP MPI program in ubuntu? please help [13:16] deathoncity: MPI? [13:16] hi,does anyone knows a good application for ubuntu 9.10 that can help me to record my screen [13:16] ? [13:16] ionut: recordmydesktop [13:16] xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support: [13:16] Depends: xulrunner-1.9.1 (=1.9.1.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1) but 1.9.1.8~hg20091226r26705+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~jaunty is to be installed [13:16] ActionParsnip, have flash! [13:16] yes for parallel programming [13:16] bonhoffer: yay [13:17] ActionParsnip, working great [13:17] thanks [13:17] looks like capturing with dumpcap as root and then analyzing it as normal user is the only way on linux [13:17] deathoncity: well compiling is compiling... use GCC, or an IDE that uses GCC [13:17] reisio: thx [13:17] deathoncity: if you're using GNOME, you might try Anjuta [13:17] too bad :/ on windows you can run wireshark as unprivilidged users and capture as admin at the same time [13:17] i use code blocks [13:18] KrimZon: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa has the xulrunner you need [13:18] KrimZon: xulrunner-1.9.11.9.1.8~hg20091226r26705+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~jauntyFabien Tassin (2009-12-27) [13:18] but the command to compile that kind of program is mpicc file etc [13:19] deathoncity: so what's the problem? [13:19] openmpi, mpich, mpich2, lam-mpi [13:19] nu mere [13:20] the problem is i cznnot compile a c++ program with #include"mpi.h" [13:22] where are the firefox bookmarks stored? Because for some reason they disappeared, along with lots of other settings from other programs. while I haven't done anything? [13:22] ActionParsnip: i already have the version of xulrunner that's there [13:23] it doesn't show the 1.9.11 one though [13:23] Plom: ~/.mozilla/firefox/crazygibberish/ [13:23] Plom: but they're stored in a silly sqlite DB [13:24] ah I can live with that, as long as they're still there :p [13:24] Plom: run firefox -ProfileManager and make sure you didn't somehow start Firefox with the wrong profile [13:25] ActionParsnip: because of that i thought the error means that it wants exactly 1.9.1.6 instead of 1.9.1.8 [13:26] reisio: do you know another application that can help me to record my desktop ? [13:26] KrimZon: then you can force install the deb I guess, if the version numbering is sufficient [13:26] ionut: xvidcap, maybe [13:27] recordmydesktop is better, though [13:27] no joy with wifi-radar or wicd. reverted to network manager. my connection shows up in the available list but is greyed out. followed the troubleshooting instructions for wifi but got nowhere. any other suggestions anyone? [13:27] KrimZon: i didtched firefox a long while back. you can always remove the mozilla ppa, uninstall fireofx completely then use the official ubuntu repos to reinstall it [13:27] !best | reisio [13:27] reisio: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:27] reisio: I'll give that a shot then. I doubt it though, it's been acting weird since yesterday. [13:27] no, usually there is always a best :) [13:28] mplayer, firefox, recordmydesktop, gcc, vim, etc. :p [13:28] ActionParsnip: it looks like prism and liferea were keeping xulrunner installed [13:28] just taken them off [13:28] Does ayone know why i can't find GnoMenu in my add tool i did add the ppa? [13:29] KrimZon: souds like a lot of fun and games [13:29] Plom: I think there's an extension somewhere on addons.mozilla.org that can dump the raw data from the .sqlite [13:29] i add the deb file [13:29] perlsyntax: if its a panel extensionm right click on panel -> add to panel. [13:29] Plom: and I think you can also backup the dir, reinstall Firefox, copy the old profile dir data into the new profile dir, open Firefox, export bookmarks as HTML, then switch the new profile dir data back, then import the bookmarks :) [13:30] i did can't find it [13:30] perlsyntax: if its a normal progarm. You may need to logout/back in or otherwise refresh the menus [13:30] perlsyntax: id try a log out/back in and look again. [13:30] it doesn't have an sqlite file in it, all it has are two .default's and one .ini [13:31] Plom: the .default's are profile dirs [13:31] I see. [13:31] ActionParsnip: i did the purge with xulrunner* as well [13:31] and they're blue because they're hidden ? [13:31] Plom: so you might have accidentally made two profiles when you only wanted one, and then accidentally started Firefox using the profile you're not used to (the one without your usual bookmarks) [13:31] Plom: no, because they're directories [13:32] oh ok, I learn something new everyday heh === max is now known as Guest27121 [13:32] so firefox -ProfileManager :) === s3ns3s is now known as _s3ns3s_ [13:33] hi i'm using xfce 4.6.1 with karmic and want to use xfce4-globalmenu. in order to get rid of the gtk menus in the windows i wrote "export GTK_MODULES=gnome-globalmenu" into my .profile but after a relog nothing happened. any idea? === _s3ns3s_ is now known as ^s3ns3s^ [13:34] Guys is gparted tool best way formating new harddisk? [13:34] hi I would like to know USB dtartup disk creater [13:34] axz: formating is easy.. partiioning is the harder part [13:34] profilemanager only shows one profile, but hey my bookmarks popped up again. [13:34] Dr_Willis, why? [13:35] ubuntuuser: unetbootin—— [13:35] hi I would like to know USB startup disk creator .Do I need to format and remove all my files on the USB drive inorder to copy it? [13:35] Dr_Willis, because i want to use this HD just for storage music ect... [13:35] axz: gparted will work [13:35] ubuntuuser: no need to remove your music [13:36] axz: partioning a drive is a much different task then just 'formating' the 2 are not the same thing. :) [13:36] wowoto: having an 8gb pendrive [13:36] axz: so will cfdisk and mkfs-foo [13:36] reisio, Oke and what do you recommand for encryotion [13:36] axz: you partition the disk into filesystems, then format the filesystems. [13:36] axz: oh you want it encrypted? :) [13:36] reisio, yes [13:36] reisio, whole disk [13:36] 500GB... [13:36] ActionParsnip: fixed it, thanks :D [13:36] wowoto: I had occupied 4GB , do i need to format ? or remove the pendrive files ? [13:36] ubuntuuser: yes ，i have had use kingston 8G，to make a liveUSB [13:37] wowoto: i just wanted to retain my files on the usb drive [13:37] i tried reinstalling xulrunner and firefox but that didn't work so i removed the ppa stuff from sources.list and tried again, and that worked [13:37] axz: maybe dm-crypt? [13:37] ubuntuuser: the format of the USB should be fat or others ，not ntfs [13:37] axz: with luks? :) [13:38] reisio, dm-crypt is reliable then truecrypt [13:38] ? [13:38] must've been because i added the PPAs to try thunderbird 3.0, which then caused a firefox update to the ppa versions which don't follow ubuntu's gnome font settings [13:38] axz: it's certainly better licensed [13:38] wowoto: it's fat32 format . [13:39] Hello everyone [13:39] KrimZon: good fontsnow? [13:39] ubuntuuser: another way ，just unrar the ISO you download,then copy all the files to the USB [13:39] hey ActionParsnip you seem to be all knowing.. im installin ut2004, no probs on my 32bit sys but 64bit im getting error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5 but its not available in repo. ive changed the script to run the amd64-bin also..you know what the problem is? [13:39] wowoto: ??? dont understand [13:39] hey ActionParsnip you seem to be all knowing.. im installin ut2004, no probs on my 32bit sys but 64bit im getting....error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5 but its not available in repo. ive changed the script to run the amd64-bin also..you know what the problem is? [13:39] duffydack: you will need the 32bit deb for the file and put it in /usr/lib32 [13:39] reisio, is there good tutorial how to use dm-crypt to encrypt whole harddisk [13:40] ah [13:40] ubuntuuser: just uncompress the ISO you download ,then copy all the files to the USB,thats all [13:40] I'm trying to downgrade to Jaunty from Karmic. I have the /home/ directory stored in a different partition... Do you think It will work if I do downgrade? [13:40] wowoto: That simple ? [13:40] alberto Will there be compatibility? [13:40] ActionParsnip, so get a debian deb? its not in repo [13:40] axz: don't know how old this is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [13:40] ubuntuuser: or ,you can try unetbootin, google it [13:40] duffydack: an ubuntu deb, dont mix debian and ubuntu debs [13:40] wowoto: ok [13:41] duffydack: it wont be in your repo as the package system will use 64bit [13:41] duffydack: you will need http://packages.ubuntu.com [13:41] ubuntuuser: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Funetbootin.sourceforge.net%2F&ei=bbU4S_mULYuUkAXvgtDuBg&usg=AFQjCNFG2iJy14ueI6PKA0HBkn1cP-KoBg&sig2=c_nkA361i5o6UtMqyqUHkg [13:41] ana_ubuntera Hello :) [13:41] ana_ubuntera How are you doing? [13:41] ubuntuuser: here's the unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net [13:42] duffydack: you can then use: dpkg x file.deb then manually copy the file over [13:42] When i try to mount an ext2 image file, i recieve an error : VFS: cannot find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop1. [13:42] wowoto: reading now , just worry that files on my usb will be deleted [13:42] duffydack: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1309697.html [13:42] ub [13:42] Xv: what command did you use? [13:42] ActionParsnip, you the man [13:43] hi, are the files/folders within /casper/filesystem.squashfs altered in any way, to enable live cd support, or are all the changes within /casper/vmlinuz and /casper/initrd.gz? [13:43] ubuntuuser: you can try the simple one , not unetbootin ,the unetbootin only sent the files from ISO to the USB [13:43] Dr_Willis, when my new HDDisk ask for table type is mddos recommended for regular linux usage? [13:44] axz: yes. [13:44] Thanks [13:44] duffydack: jeeves is the man [13:44] axz: i cant recall ever using any other type. not sure what other types even esit [13:44] duffydack: did you see the private message i sent you? [13:44] ciao [13:45] wowoto: so after booting from usb , can I still access the file on the usb ? [13:46] DomeDan, sorry yes, the forum post has it all fixed for eme. [13:46] me* [13:46] duffydack: ok :) good to hear [13:47] duffydack: :D [13:47] hi all happy christmas and a merry new year [13:47] is there a way to see whats running and turn it off. [13:48] meowbuntu: top? htop? [13:48] htop is handy :) [13:48] if i use unetbootin to install clonezilla on a sandisk flash drive do i need a motherboard that is capable of booting from usb in order to use it? [13:48] legend2440: yes. thats a rather imporntant requirement [13:49] Dr_Willis: ok thank you [13:49] Dr_Willis, whats differance tween top and htop top is default i know that [13:49] legend2440: uve seen a few disrtos taht let you boot from cd/floppy then 'switch' over to the flash drive.. but not many [13:49] not if you have a CD-to-USB CD drive adapter! :p [13:49] htop = Hansome Topm >:) it makes top look ugly [13:50] Dr_Willis: depends if you care about looks or not ;0 [13:50] y suggest htop then [13:50] and features. [13:50] top is just output and key shortcuts [13:50] ^ Dr_Willis [13:50] htop has an actual UI [13:50] meowbuntu: just install htop and run it.. [13:50] Of course knowing what its actyally saying.. is the harder part. [13:51] hello [13:52] anyone into animal crossing?????

[13:54] _Narc_: it's for going left [13:55] before Karmic..when i plugged in my music player.. it mounted automagically.. not anymore..what do i need to do? === andrew_ is now known as Guest8840 [13:55] <_Narc_> Haha [13:55] _Narc_: the left button bug? are we supposed to know what bug that is? [13:55] Dekkard: still using GNOME? [13:55] yes.. and lxde [13:55] _Narc_: gtk+ application buttons not responding when clicked? [13:56] Dekkard: what FS is your music player? [13:56] mass storage device [13:56] is there an email client for linux that has a web interface to access the locally stored emails from a remote system once they have been downloaded and deleted from the server, kinda like mutt but using a web browser [13:56] <_Narc_> Slart: Sorry, it's one of the most popular results on Google when you start typing "ubuntu" and a lot of people are experiencing it on UbuntuForums, thought everybody noticed [13:56] it will show with rhythmbox.. but only in msc [13:56] hmm.. [13:57] * Dekkard slaps head [13:57] <_Narc_> alankila: Yes [13:57] _Narc_: the one that is generally fixed by setting environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ? [13:57] _Narc_: not much is going with that, I'm afraid. People set that environment variable now as a workaround, and hope the next version of your favorite software doesn't show the bug anymore. [13:57] <_Narc_> alankila: I didn't read about that, ok, I'll do this [13:58] Not more than 15 minutes ago I updated to eclipse 3.6.0-m4 because the bug has been fixed in 3.6 but nobody has seen fit to release anything looking like a fix for 3.5 series. [13:58] ActionParsnip, there are heaps evolution, thunderbird, firefox has an addon, use webmail is better. there are portable usb apps that run in whine on www.portableapps .com [13:58] ok, let me get this straight i can have 4 primary partitions but i can have 59 logical partitions? [13:59] <_Narc_> alankila: My Ubuntu has become almost unusable without keyboards shortcuts. Is it linked to Desktop effects ? [13:59] alankila: is there some merit to staying with 3.5? [13:59] (I just don't bother with environment variables. Pfft. Much more exciting to update to beta versions.) [13:59] wierd.. I had the device set to auto mode.. and it defaulted on karmic to msc.... [13:59] reisio: hmm... less buggy most likely? [13:59] meowbuntu: evolution you say. i'm using that now,let me see if i can dig up a plugin [13:59] when i oops i mean mtp.. when i switched to msc it detected [14:00] alankila: so no reason ;) [14:00] _Narc_: now I no longer know what you are talking about. The bug relates to mouse clicks on some buttons not registering -- they appear to work visually, but the button isn't actually activated. [14:00] _Narc_, desktop effects take up system resources and conflict with some apps, alot of lingterm users turn them off to avoid problems [14:00] lingterm = long term [14:00] Laptop > Festplatte kaputt. > Neue Festplatte eingebaut.

The bug I'm talking about render left click almost completely unusable [14:01] ActionParsnip, is imap what you need [14:01] <_Narc_> Slart : Wait a sec [14:02] народ [14:02] _Narc_: heh, so does mine.

I didn't really understand that [14:12] /msg NoNSoLoWii|CiNe|001 XDCC SEND #67 [14:12] ookami: You need to update the info in /etc/passwd.

I also wont have access to the old emails if I am out an about [14:13] Otacon22, the pc speaker driver is not loaded at all on 9.10. but you could select your own file in xchat's prefs, but it will, obviously, play through the speakers.

I would say creating a new user is easier.. you might end up changing that username in a lot of places [14:13] ActionParsnip, you can transfer the email clients stored info to any other client so even the portable thunderbird would work for you [14:13] grawity: gravity , why do you here ? [14:13] ookami: Su to root. Then edit (using nano or vi) the appropriate line in /etc/passwd. Take a look at the file to see the format. It is : delimited. [14:13] hum... [14:13] xchat i think [14:13] ubuntuuser: you r welcome [14:13] Linux-IRC: Why do you care?

[14:16] bug report #435352 [14:17] Ookami: hmm..

[14:32] It gave only errors [14:32] TopGear: your english looks fine to me [14:32] Nice to hear [14:33] English whats that! [14:33] pfft.. [14:33] no one understands u? Read it again and then retry it till someone does understand it thats my moto [14:33] hi, i installed xfce to see what it was like, and now my login manager has changed to a xubuntu one, how do i get my old gdm back in control? === ari_stress is now known as penjaga_sekolah [14:33] if i do apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop, will it remove things that gnome requires?

[14:34] In order to use VPNC, what do you need? [14:34] niko, dpkg-reconfigure gdm [14:34] nlko: no, it will only remove the metapackage [14:34] i_is_broke: ok il try that [14:34] Now, let's test it [14:34] nlko: and nothing else [14:34] justin_: you haven't added the pgp key for the repository in question. [14:34] nlko: maybe you can just select the session when logging in [14:34] And..... [14:34] It didn't work [14:34] yes the session is fine, it uses gnome again now, but the login manager has changed to a horrible blue slashy screen [14:35] arand: pgp key? maybe, I just remove the warnning saying something about private key [14:35] what does dpkg-reconfiure gdm actually do? [14:35] wtf?? [14:36] ["暂离"]? [14:36] it apepars to have done nothing. [14:36] TopGear: same error? [14:36] justin_: look at https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware#Adding%20the%20PPA%27s%20key%20to%20Ubuntu [14:36] niko, it sets the session to ubuntu. [14:36] I'll take a look [14:36] yeah, same [14:36] TopGear: 暂离 means leave a minute [14:36] niko, you have to log out.

I'm on a Desktop, not a laptop, with Compiz on and Gnome-Do running. Xev is not registering any event apparently. Thanks a lot for your help. [14:38] i_is_broke: didnt seem to work, still had the xubuntu login manager [14:38] """"/home or /home/usrname/? [14:38] should i just remove xubuntu? [14:38] justin_: I'm assuming you've added a ppa or other repository but not added the associated key for it, which will help in making sure the packages from there are made by the author(s) of the ppa/repository [14:38] niko, as ActionParsnip said it wont take away your ubuntu if you do. [14:38] I use debian and have problem with cube switcher, my computer doens't run compiz command , any hint?

[14:39] slart, sorry for the late replay man [14:39] niko: if you get yourself into trouble, just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop in a terminal. [14:39] arand: yes, i got that [14:39] jimmyxu: ok cool thanks [14:39] beginner: Debian questions are offtopic for this channel. [14:39] slart, i was able to change the home directory .. but not the "log in" name [14:39] where do i find the menu in gnome to edit my login manager? im sure ive seen it before [14:39] hi, I can not compile rt3070 driver in Ubuntu 8.04, could anyone help me?

[14:40] navidgh, where do i get it ? [14:40] ok thanks for the hint [14:40] i_is_broke: try to highlight the good nick [14:40] I'm not sure - google it [14:40] ᴖ_ᴖ [14:40] All I know is that it works well [14:41] i_is_broke: i dont have that in perfernces [14:41] nlko: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html [14:41] It does a whole ton of other stuff too [14:41] in .config is a folder called vlc [14:42] delete it? [14:42] TopGear: ok then delete it [14:42] TopGear: or just rename. [14:42] TopGear: when vlc isnext ran you will get a fresh default one [14:42] No [14:43] I got a question: How do you want to update [14:43] Then I opend VLC again [14:43] TopGear: default is fine [14:43] poef, same error === kb is now known as Guest76677 [14:43] has flash with hardware acceleration come out on Ubuntu yet? [14:43] TopGear: do other sound apps run ok, like movie player etc [14:43] navidhg: no, I think not. At least scaling seems to be CPU based, so fullscreen doesn't work for me. [14:44] i've got a cairo dock question: in the cairo dock manual it seems to indicate that with nvidia geforce cards, you should use CD in non opengl mode. does this mean I am to assume that CD doesn't yet support Geforce cards? [14:44] yes, they do [14:44] I use compiz screen scaling to compensate. [14:44] but there is no program here that supports a folder called video_ts [14:44] menu problems etc [14:44] Thanks alankila [14:44] but the video itself is no problem [14:44] TopGear: then i'd look though the bugs to see if its a known issue [14:44] TopGear: vlc does what? [14:45] how does one run something as root in 9.10? [14:45] It disappears when I open a movie [14:45] It closes [14:45] TopGear: i see [14:45] TopGear, have you tried mplayer? [14:45] TopGear: have you ran: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:45] reisio: sudo then the command in terminal [14:45] Yeah, offcourse [14:46] Hi I experince problems with Edimax EW 7711 umn USB wifi adapter on ubuntu 8.04 [14:46] TopGear: i assume nothing === richard is now known as Guest74896 [14:46] try using ndiswrapper pavel [14:46] does anyone know of a guide to dump the proprietary ATI drivers and go back to the open source drivers? [14:46] you have to enter your own password to use sudo now? :p [14:46] * reisio headdesks [14:46] pavel_: run: sudo lshw -C network to see the chip and you can then find guides [14:46] hey, mplayer got a error [14:46] shane2peru: apt-get remove xserver-xorg-fglrx and install xserver-xorg-radeon ? or radeonhd if you have a HD card, possibly... [14:46] thx [14:47] TopGear, what error? [14:47] ah, it's xserver-xorg-video-radeon, I guess. [14:47] pavel_: what is printed on the plastic case is moot, the chip is what you need to drive [14:47] alankila, right, but I have installed proprietary drivers [14:47] error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. [14:47] 我来练习 中文。 [14:47] alankila, so, I think that is going to be more than an apt-get remove.

[14:48] alankila, because I didn't apt-get to install them. [14:48] 大家好 [14:48] Or at least bass/treb/mid control. [14:48] TopGear, then try "mplayer -vo x11 dvd://" [14:48] it's a folder, called video_ts [14:48] !cn | qkbeyond [14:48] oh. Well, then you figure out what the installer did and revert some of that, or just forget it and force loading of either radeon or radeonhd driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:48] qkbeyond: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:49] hello everybody [14:49] TopGear, then replace dvd:// with the video_ts folder [14:49] it might work, might not, I'm not sure what the fglrx driver does to system, if anything.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:52] In my ubuntus .config file just about every box is ticked causing it to build all drivers (for one thing) when building the kernel.

[14:53] ActionParsnip, yes I can [14:53] same error [14:53] pavel_: then dns is failing [14:54] pavel_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and add these 2 lines [14:54] haw to downlord vidios in youtube [14:54] pavel_: nameserver 8.8.4.4 === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [14:54] pavel_: nameserver 8.8.8.8 [14:54] pavel_: save the new file and try the web [14:54] Joris_: I know mythtv has a channel as well if you don't find anyone here to answer your question. [14:54] pavel_: those are google's DNS servers [14:54] TopGear, sry "mplayer -vo x11 *", if you're in the VIDEO_TS folder currently [14:54] Every once in a while - at boot I get a white screen and nothing else. I have to reboot and that usually clears the problem - then everything works fine. anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

It can find the ipod but always has a seek error which I assume means it doesn't support that version of iTunesDB. [14:59] Joris_: that the tuner right? === nastas is now known as nastas_ === nastas_ is now known as nastas [14:59] In my ubuntus .config file just about every box is ticked causing it to build all drivers (for one thing) when building the kernel. How do I come by a smaller .config that builds only the drivers my hardware needs ? [14:59] stephans: you may have to also remove then modprobe the sound module [14:59] ah, i seem to have sorted it. used synaptic and removed things that looked xubuntu related, think it was xubuntu-splash that solved it [15:00] is there a command to install a program WITH it's suggested pkgs? [15:00] that's better [15:00] stephans: but: sudo killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pule* then press alt+F2 and type: pulseaudio then press enter will restart pulse [15:00] TopGear, does "-vo xv" instead of x11 also work? === eugen is now known as Guest48872 [15:00] mahngiel: sudo apt-get install packagename [15:00] actionparsnip, how did you come up with that name? ;) Thank you! [15:00] scunizi: Yes, I watch the recordings on another system (a Mac mini) or via Flash on MythWeb [15:00] hi... I have a question about package versioning... lets say that I want my pacakges with suffix "foo"... and for example I have patched iptables... (current deb filename is iptables_1.4.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb)... what name should I choose so that package manager will know that mine is new version... iptables_1.4.4-1ubuntu1foo1_i386.deb ? [15:00] stephans: its a harry hill joke [15:00] what was the whole code? [15:01] TopGear, "mplayer -vo xv *" [15:01] #ubuntu-it [15:01] Joris_: so all the recording have this interfearance imbedded in them and show up no matter what system you play them on? [15:01] ActionParsnip: yessir, i know that! lol. but i mean when the Suggested Packages are listed, instead of highlighting them later to install, i'm curious if you can install them automatically with the prgm you're installing === nastas is now known as nastas_ [15:01] nlko: afaik, i might get added in lucid (10.04), it seems like it was disregarded with a low priority for Karmic (9.10) === nastas_ is now known as nastas [15:01] ActionParsnip: I.e. 'sudo apt-get install quanta (+ suggested)' [15:01] hi, I am trying to use the mail program to send e-mails to my gmail account, why they do not get there? [15:01] scunizi: Yes, that's right [15:02] #ubuntu-it [15:02] just curious if there is indeed a command or not [15:02] ActionParsnip, there seems to be trouble that machine is wire-connected and we are trying to establish wireless connection [15:02] elfazendero: /join #ubuntu-it [15:02] elfazendero, /join #ubuntu-it [15:02] thanx a lot [15:03] Yes, it works, but still no menu [15:03] ActionParsnip, so I am not sure whether lshw output is correct [15:03] TopGear, alright, what does "mplayer -vo xv dvdnav:// /path/to/VIDEO_TS"? [15:03] pavel_: i used to get that and i just switched t wired. seems a lot better in lucid but the rest is a lot glitchy [15:03] I am allready in Video_TS [15:04] hi [15:04] Joris_: most likely when you upgraded the Happ. drivers didn't get done correctly.. I'm not sure how they work (kernel mods or not) but you might investigate which drivers are currently being used, what use to be used.. reinstall them for comparison.. check myth's site for 9.10 info and the www.ubuntuforums.org for the same.. I hope that helps. [15:04] well, then "mplayer -vo xv dvdnav:// ./" [15:04] d3xter: :) [15:04] say i installed an old version of ubuntu, is it trivial to upgrade to 9.10? [15:04] I need help fixing my Ubuntu install. It has been working fine for ages, even after upgrading to Karmic. I run a lot of applications at once (irssi, amarok, virtualbox, firefox, thunderbird and azureus - almost always). Sometimes, however, and I believe it only occurs when copying files (to an external disk or by FTP) with nautilus, the I/O bar on the system monitor panel applet fills up and the system slows down to a crawl, eventually freezing entirely. [15:04] apt-get upgrade? [15:04] ok, how about this... is there a way to remove extra packages from an install? [15:04] nlko: it depends on the version [15:04] superboki, hello :) [15:04] ActionParsnip, I prefer wired connection as well, but I do not want do disappoint a friend of mine who decided to give ubuntu a try [15:04] error...... [15:05] scunizi: I'll try that [15:05] !blacklist > ActionParsnip [15:05] ActionParsnip, please see my private message [15:05] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d9599bb9 [15:05] TopGear, nopaste it [15:05] nlko: apt-get upgrade just upgrades packages in the current version to match the versions in the repos [15:05] mahngiel: what do you consider extra? [15:05] nlko: a couple of ways.. upgrade manager will have an upgrade button.. you might have to do it one release at a time.. the other is a direct *new* install providing you have a seperate partition for your /home [15:05] bastid_raZor: i mean after you 'apt-get install', it says, "The follwoing extra packages will be installed:" [15:06] TopGear, same for "mplayer -vo xv dvdnav:// ../"? [15:06] bastic_raZor: a prgm i want, wishes to install kommander-kde and a few other kde based apps [15:06] same error [15:06] im thinking about attempting to capture HD from my televsion and record on my PC. my diretv box has hdmi, does anyone know of any video cards with hdmi inputs that are compatible with ubntu? [15:06] I should add to what I described above, that the computer otherwise manages all these applications smoothly. There are no performance issues, with the exception of teh above I/O freeze. [15:06] mahngiel: those extra packages are called dependencies. you need those. [15:07] mahngiel: those are dependancies, wont work without this [15:07] ActionParsnip, however this wifi problem is a bit mysterious, it worked without any problem o karmic, so I guess changing the kernel might solve it [15:07] bastid_raZor, superboki: i read that quanta workes with gnome? [15:08] bastid_raZor, superboki: why would it depend on kde db's? hm. [15:08] mahngiel: works with does not mean it does not require kde dependencies [15:08] mahngiel: apt-cache search quanta [15:08] Hi... my motherboard can supposedly support surround sound using the mic/in/out sockets... any ideas on getting this to work with 9.10? [15:08] pavel_: possibly, makes sense [15:08] mahngiel: k3b works with gnome, but require a large collection of kde libs [15:08] ActionParsnip, according to this (http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/Karten#Edimax) USB wifi chipset is Ralink RT3070 ID 7392:7711 [15:08] !info quanta [15:08] quanta (source: kdewebdev-kde3): web development environment for KDE.

[15:10] !es | jota [15:10] pavel_: you will need to install karmic, 2.6.31 is a karmic kernel, unless you compile your own [15:10] jota: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[15:14] That works, but there's no menu [15:14] for ff, rr, next chapter, etc [15:15] ActionParsnip, thank you very much, I think the frined will have to wait a bit until I get to his machine, then I will perhpas bother you again :) [15:15] I'm trying to get apturl to work properly through FF [15:15] pavel_: try a newer kernel, may work out of the box [15:16] TopGear, you could use "!" and "@" to seek to the beginning of the next/previous chapter [15:16] at least now I can switch between apps without closing them [15:16] thnx [15:16] but i prefer vlc [15:17] TopGear, any error message when you start vlc from the terminal [15:17] when it exits [15:17] what do you mean? just "vlc" in the terminal? [15:17] TopGear, right === maco2_ is now known as maco2 === maco2 is now known as Guest82669 [15:18] nvidia, ATI, GForce? I know that ATI is not good with Linux, any of the others highly recommendable? [15:18] shane2peru, [15:18] you'd think xfce + xubuntu would outpace windows [15:18] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5871ef38 [15:18] it actually seems a little slower [15:18] you're going to buy a new one in the near future? [15:19] TopGear, what about "cvlc"? [15:19] d3xter, possible, I just want to be aware, and not get caught in the a similar ATI disaster that I have now [15:19] is firefox easy to remove from ubuntu or does it break a lot of stuff? === Guest82669 is now known as maco2 [15:20] jibadeeha: shouldnt break anything [15:20] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2f6aff0c [15:20] shane2peru, well the open-source ati driver is evolving :) [15:20] there's no VLC [15:21] TopGear, you mean no window? [15:21] TopGear: there should be vlc, if you installed one that is [15:21] yes [15:21] no windows [15:21] vlc <- small letters [15:21] superboki, vlc fails to play a dvd, thats why we're trying to use cvlc ;) [15:21] d3xter, well, I'm a wholehearted Linux user for a few years now, and my ATI experience has told me it will be the last ATI I will ever buy, unless something drastically changes, I have had about 5 months of torture trying to get ATI to work properly [15:22] d3xter: right [15:23] TopGear, what does "cvlc *" say? [15:23] shane2peru, have you heard about gallium3D? [15:23] okay thanks superboki - just done it and so far so good [15:23] shane2peru: in practice nvidia's closed driver has always worked for me, and almost none of the ati drivers, open or closed, have ever worked that well [15:23] thx guys for setting the default of xchat2 to auto get dcc files, some little scumball tried to send me rather disgusting pornographic sounding material, luckily it was asking for a directory and I just cancelled the whole desktop session because there were too many windows to answer [15:24] d3xter, nope, can't say that I have [15:24] really really FAIL [15:24] but the latest experience I've had with "radeon" against x1250 has been decentish... the display shuts down if I close laptop lid and doesn't activate, so that's the largest bug I got, but I just don't touch the lid. [15:24] make sure next build of ubuntu dcc is set to NOT auto get [15:24] (ridiculous. I'm not suspending the machine, it just doesn't work even that much. [15:24] alankila, I have never dealt with ATI before this, and probably wont again, if I wasn't a firm linux user I would have left, but I really hate windows [15:24] shane2peru, this will be a revolution in 3D acceleration under Linux :) [15:24] so what do i need to extract / backup encrypted dvd ? [15:25] shane2peru, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium3D [15:25] i already have libdvdcss and libdvdread [15:25] ati people are working hard on creating a OSS-ati driver for gallium [15:25] flyback: auto accept would have put it in a directory without asking. [15:25] it was on auto acceept then ask for directroy [15:25] the revolution that fixes everything is always behind the corner. I bet they said the same under communism. [15:25] d3xter, I'm fixing to go back and give the OS drivers a try for my ATI card, hopefully that will help a lot, and solve my problems [15:26] that will solve most of the problems of opensource-drivers, but it will take some time, until it gets into ubuntu and other distributions [15:26] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/db3d9053 [15:26] shane2peru, which ati card to do you have? [15:26] historically illiterate as my comparison is, and wildly inappropriate too. [15:26] I had about 100+ windows asking for directory when I woke up the morning [15:26] so I just killed the whole session [15:26] d3xter, I have tried several distros and some drastic solutions to make this laptop usable, I have ATI Radeon HD3100 [15:27] flyback: maybe you shouldn't hang out in malicious channels. [15:27] HD. Too new. The radeonhd driver is still crap, I bet. :-/ [15:27] uh dude [15:27] someone came in with a bot [15:27] STUPID CANUCK [15:27] into a legit channel [15:27] flyback: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:27] !caps [15:27] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [15:27] alankila, yes, that was the whole problem very new hardware [15:27] hey, in my Compaq Mini 702 EG the wireless isnt working? what to do? [15:27] and did a dcc send flood [15:27] anyways I gotta head out to the doc [15:28] not that mad just saying you guys need to consider making sure it defaults to off [15:28] next build [15:28] flyback: this is the support channel, not the dev channel [15:28] shane2peru, hd3xx is r500, right? [15:28] ok [15:28] what's the devel channel [15:29] d3xter, umm, not sure, but it would be hd3xxx [15:30] d3xter, that Gallium3d looks interesting, I would be interested in testing it out [15:31] wow 1269 people get's bigger each time I come [15:31] what can we do for you all today? [15:31] shane2peru, yes me too :) but its still under heavy development :-S [15:31] hola [15:31] shane2peru, http://www.x.org/wiki/GalliumStatus [15:32] d3xter, if you only knew how many times my laptop has overheated, it is still under heavy developtment. :) [15:32] shane2peru, hd3xxx is r600 :) [15:33] d3xter, ok, that is news to me, I don't know about this r600 stuff [15:33] d3xter, Any idea? [15:34] TopGear, not really. it looks like the data is corrupted or encrypted :-S [15:34] shane2peru, here you've got the feature status of radeon and radeon hd for r600: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature; http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd:feature [15:35] it should work ootb but dont expect any 3d acceleration ^^ [15:35] today I tried to get my system with no disk to boot with pxelinux and failed. some kind of a problem with NFS mount === Omlet^away is now known as Omlet^RPM [15:35] any body have a kernel that will boot with nfs with pxelinux? [15:36] shane2peru, do you use 9.10? [15:36] d3xter, I will have to keep my eye on that stuff, [15:36] yep [15:36] d3xter, 9.10 yes. [15:36] !pxe [15:36] I am having permissions issues with an external hard drive (specifically, MediaTomb can't read it). How can i resolve this? [15:36] shane2peru, if you want KMS, then you'll have to use a newer kernel with the radeon driver [15:36] Note that mediatomb is launched on boot, as root (to my knowledge) [15:36] thanks ActionParsnip [15:37] okay, I can't figure out why ubuntu is running so slow [15:37] I thought it's performance was going to be superior to windows [15:37] d3xter, KMS? I just want a laptop I can run processes on without overheating it. :) [15:37] sacarlson: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=327597 [15:37] d3xter, honestly at this point I could care less about the 3d effects, or any of that stuff. [15:37] sacarlson: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer [15:37] ActionParsnip close but I don't want to install I want to run from lan [15:38] algun español?????????' [15:38] I mean why is it accessing my hdd all the time [15:38] !es [15:38] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:38] shane2peru, does fglrx work? [15:38] maybe I should just reinstall xp [15:39] d3xter, well, I currently have the proprietary drivers installed, and can actually watch a short video without it overheating, but it always runs hot, 90C at idle [15:39] d3xter, I'm about to purge all the propietary stuff and give the OS drivers a shot again [15:40] d3xter, last time I used open source drivers, I couldn't even watch a short video, it would overheat and shutdown [15:40] shane2peru, when was the last time you've tested the open source drivers? [15:40] d3xter, been a while I quit using my laptop, and used my desktop [15:40] shane2peru: your system has serious issues if it dies under use. Might be worth it to look into that. [15:41] shane2peru, oh ok, then give the opensource drivers a try :) [15:41] d3xter, and a power surge killed the main board of the desktop, I'm back to the laptop [15:41] tips on what could be killing performance in xubuntu? [15:41] d3xter, will do === maco2_ is now known as maco2 [15:41] do any of you have a scanner or all-in-one-printer (the scanner part is what's important) that runs without problems on ubuntu? [15:41] alankila, yes, it was practically un-usable, tried Fedora, Debian, hmm, and half a dozen others, nothing worked, [15:41] every time I switch a window or right click on the desktop, it chugs and chugs [15:42] emmy I never got my scanner to work with ubuntu [15:42] and the refresh is *slow* [15:42] d3xter, ok, thanks for the info, much appreciated. [15:42] sacarlson, yep that's bad news === cB- is now known as CharelB [15:42] * shane2peru runs off to purge the system of ATI drivers and install OS drivers [15:42] emmy It's an old one maybe the new ones work [15:42] since I'm new to ubuntu I'm not sure how to verify if things are working as they should [15:42] shane2peru, you're welcome :) and tell me you're experiences with the OS drivers ;) [15:43] emmy oh and I never tried it with ubuntu 9.X [15:43] d3xter, will do [15:43] How can i figure out which "partition" an external hard drive is? I am trying to change permissions of my external hard drive with PySDM, and it doesn't see my external hard drive. [15:43] thanks [15:43] (Even though it's mounted, and being used.) [15:43] * TopGear hates the problems with VLC [15:43] ugh [15:43] emmy what I do is run windows in virtual box to get my scans [15:43] Leemp: sudo fdisk -l will show you all drives/partitions connected [15:43] this sucks [15:44] Leemp, "sudo fdisk -l" and "df -h" (if mounted) === MK-1 is now known as MK-BB [15:44] hal9000 [15:44] ops, wrongchatt [15:45] anybody knows about gdm2? [15:45] !gdm2 [15:45] Thanks. Now, to change permissions with PySDM, if i "configure this device" is this going to harm my data at all? [15:45] !test [15:45] yes, I'm alive. [15:46] Leemp: what filesystem on disk? [15:46] I *do not* want to format my hard drives. Rather, simply change permissions of them so MediaTomb can access them [15:46] llutz: NTFS [15:46] (Unfortunately) [15:46] Leemp, you cannot change permissions on NTFS via ubuntu [15:46] Leemp: look for ntfs-3g, changing permissions on non-unix fs won't work [15:46] Leemp, you can make a umask when mounting [15:47] !ntfs-3g > Leemp [15:47] Leemp, please see my private message [15:47] leemp wow bummer never had that problem [15:47] mka: Thats actually what i ment, i read that changing the umask via PySDM will solve my issues [15:47] leemp I try to stay with fat32 [15:48] Leemp, "sudo mount /dev/sd?? mountpunt -o umask=0022" [15:48] sacarlson: If i could, i'd switch to Ext*, but i've got more data on the two drives than anywhere else heh [15:49] sacarlson, isn't fat32 old(er) news? [15:49] leemp never heard of an aplication that would change format without damage [15:49] is there any problem with irc today? [15:49] mka ya but still works for what I need in windiws [15:50] sacarlson, but NTFS works in windows as well and has no 4GB file size limit [15:50] mka well I don't put big files there [15:50] sacarlson, and you can encrypt files in NTFS [15:51] sacarlson: Thats what i mean, i can't get the data off of them because i don't have anywhere to put it that is big enough to handle it. :o [15:51] I don't do much of anything anymore in windows, just my scan's and some printing [15:51] mka: Do you suggest doing that instead of PySDM? [15:52] Leemp, I don't know PySDM and I don't know what exactly do you want to do [15:52] d3xter, is the opensource the libgl1-mesa-* stuff? Is this guide outdated?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [15:52] leemp well what I did today was clean my disk of all duplicate stuff and ended up with 50% more space [15:52] sacarlson, wow! [15:52] mka: Simply let MediaTomb's daemon read my external hard drives :/ [15:52] leemp maybe if you clean you can make space and move it [15:52] mka: No other programs have issues with my hard drives. [15:52] alankila, actually as it turns out I did install the proprietary drivers with debs, so , that was an easy purge. [15:53] hi. any reason why gedit won't automatically syntax highlight .rb (Ruby) files? [15:53] Leemp, sorry, don't even have an idea what MediaTomb is (the name sounds horrific, by the way) [15:53] d3xter, hey a quick search turns up xserver-xorg-video-ati is that it? [15:54] mka: It's an opensource program to stream media to your PS3 (and others, i believe) [15:54] simmerz: did you select highlighting ruby? view, highlight mode, scripts, ruby? [15:54] Hi... my motherboard can supposedly support surround sound using the mic/in/out sockets... any ideas on getting this to work with 9.10? There isn't a suitable profile showing in the volume control... [15:55] FiReSTaRT, I shouldn't have to do it manually every time I open a file [15:55] I'm installing XP on a partition with Ubuntu already installed, how can I get GRUB to "rescan" and find all of my operating systems? [15:55] mka leemp oh ya and I deleted all those porns I was bord of. that gave me another 10% [15:56] sacarlson: :P. Nah, for my it's just ripped movies and music heh [15:56] !fixgrub | NManoogian [15:56] NManoogian: 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. [15:56] anyone know how to enable auto login not the first time after boot but incase if gnome-session has crashed etc [15:56] How painful is the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? [15:56] simmerz: if it's not doing it automatically, that's your only option using gedit.. there are other editors out there [15:56] leemp ya but some of the music I found was backed up [15:56] Thanks guys [15:56] * FiReSTaRT out [15:56] sacarlson: This is my backup. :D [15:57] sacarlson, too much information! my kids are on this channel! [15:57] FiReSTaRT, it did it automatically before I reinstalled karmic on my machine... [15:57] mka sorry [15:57] ice-nine, works fine for some and some get into problems but i prefer clean install [15:58] om26er, I usually go clean install but I have this machine setup quite the way I like it and was thinking I'll try the upgrade before a clean install. [15:58] ello all [15:58] Is this a right channel to ask about Ubuntu One service ? [15:59] hello [15:59] voytech, i think its #ubuntuone [15:59] thank you [15:59] damn doesnt anybody here know anything ? [15:59] anyone know how to enable auto login not the first time after boot but incase if gnome-session has crashed etc [16:00] iox71 ya me [16:00] iox71 but you need to adk [16:00] ask [16:00] heres the question again [16:00] anyone know how to enable auto login not the first time after boot but incase if gnome-session has crashed etc [16:00] !repeat | i0x71 [16:00] i0x71: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [16:00] i could probably replace the startup gdm binary [16:01] <_Narc_> Hey Folks, sorry to repeat again but anyone experienced an almost completely non-functioning left-click after updating Karmic these days ? I disabled Compiz effect, Gnome-Do but I still can't focus or click buttons or anything on windows. Thanks for your help. [16:01] Iox71 I have setup for no login [16:01] i sure did its kinda hard to put the issue in google [16:01] sacarlson, hows that [16:01] hi, i have a radeon 9550 and i'm having an issue with the proprietary drivers, they are working fine for the moment but if i log out ubuntu goes into the safe graphics and i have to install them again, any ideas? [16:01] iox71 I would suggest you setup a backup account [16:02] scunizi: I found that my old recordings have interference too, so it has nothing to do with my tuner configuration; any ideas? [16:02] iox71 you want to boot without login? [16:02] sacarlson, what i am doing is running xbmc as session, but problem is if it crashes or user exits it returns me to login screen even thou auto login and timed login are enabled [16:02] that's what I do but what it sounds like you need is a backup account if one fails [16:03] i hav a question [16:03] sacarlson, now what i want to be able to do is if it crashes or exits reload itself [16:03] !question | abhi_ [16:03] abhi_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:03] i0x71, you want to make automatic log in? [16:03] iox71 xbmc? not sure what that is [16:04] mka, no that is enabled i want to automaticaly relogin after session running exits or crashes [16:04] sacarlson, it does not matter it would be same process if it would be gnome-session [16:04] iox71 from cron? [16:04] one solution that i can figure so far is replacing the login screen (gdm) with xbmc [16:05] sacarlson, cron would have to perhaps check if xbmc is running that is one solution [16:05] i0x71, there used to be an option in gdmsetup that you should check so that you relog in after crashing [16:05] i hav kmformat installed in ubuntu 9.10, is there any way to add a submenu for usb device (like- format to) in nautilus to format it with kmformat? [16:05] but i noticed they got rid of the old login setup, i did checkout the custom.conf but it only has autologin and timed login [16:06] iox71 your not present but some remote is looking at a screen? [16:06] sacarlson, just a really NOT computer savvy person [16:06] i mean right click--->format to [16:06] d3xter, well, the opensource drivers seem to be about the same as the proprietary drivers, idles at about 90C, and 47 seconds into a news video, and seems to be keeping it under 95C, better than before [16:06] mka, any clues ? [16:07] shane2peru, so video playback now works? [16:07] abhi_, nautilus do have "format" [16:07] d3xter, well, video playback always worked, just overheated it before [16:07] ah nice :) [16:08] compiz and 2D acceleratin works too? [16:08] abhi_, by right clicking if you are using karmic? [16:08] d3xter, yes, it is certainly improved over before [16:08] d3xter, hmm, not sure [16:08] this is my problem here: http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg373631.html [16:08] iox71 the ubuntu crashes and pushes you out of login? What aplication would cause that? [16:08] om26er, yes i'm in karmic [16:09] sacarlson, it has not yet, but i am doing it in case it does, so i can avoid phone calls and trying to get the person to enter password over the phone [16:09] i0x71, I checked it up, it seemed to be not there in these newer versions of ubuntu. But I remember my system crashing all the time and unable to change something as GDM was reloging in all the time. It was the times of Dapper [16:09] d3xter, glxgears comes up, tried to enable desktop effects, and didn't work. :) === xD is now known as BlouBlou [16:10] all, while playing the video, didn't go over 95C. :) [16:10] shane2peru, thats not good :) so you'll have to wait for gallium to arrive [16:10] anyone know if it would be possible to replace /usr/sbin/gdm with something else, if thats the login screen ? [16:10] d3xter, I can live without desktop effects [16:10] d3xter, so long as it doesn't overheat on me just watching a short video [16:10] iox71 sounds like it works as expected. as long as you don't logout [16:11] d3xter, news clips, etc, [16:11] iox71 I don't see a problem there [16:11] sacarlson, exactly as long as xbmc doesnt crash which is 30% chance [16:11] hola, como puedo eliminar programas instalados con wine¿? (exactamente hablo del juego SPORE, que en realidad va fatal en linux :S) [16:11] d3xter, thanks again for the info, I will keep my eye on the gallium [16:11] <[[thufir]]> how do I clean the apt-get cached binaries? [16:11] apt-get clean [16:11] shane2peru, np :) [16:11] iox71 oh ok if you logout and it fails then you can't log back in? [16:11] [[thufir]], sudo apt-get clean [16:12] Hi, have you tried chrome browser? [16:12] <[[thufir]]> llutz: thanks [16:13] !who | justin_ [16:13] justin_: 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 :) [16:13] iox71 on my system that auto logs in at boot if I logout I still need to log back in [16:13] What is the difference between a program launched from init.d vs one manually launched? I have a mediaserver that works with my external hard drives if i launch it myself, but the daemon, launched from init.d, doesn't. [16:13] how can i delete programs with wine? [16:13] is there a way to hide the lost+found folder on an ext4 partition? [16:13] which should I use to compress my files .lzma or tar.lzma and why? [16:14] sacarlson, that is my problem, i want it to relogin if i logout [16:14] ubottu: I just try to find someone who's interested in that topic [16:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:14] question .. im ripping this movie right and its stuck at 89% ... there a way to blank it or overwrite it so it contiunes ? [16:14] eltume, you should use tar.lzma, because tar puts all of your files into one file and then encrypt's it [16:14] iox71 I don't have a solution for that except don't logout [16:14] lzma can only encrypt 1 file [16:14] iox71 or reboot? [16:14] thank you [16:14] d3xter: lzma doesnt encrypt [16:15] d3xter: it compresses [16:15] do anyone know which binary is the login screen in 9.10 ? [16:15] maco thats what i mean, sry ^^ [16:15] eltume, lzma compresses, not encrypts ;) [16:15] btw what's encrypt? [16:15] makes it require a password? [16:15] OMG! [16:15] iox71 maybe make it so you only root can log out [16:16] makes it only accesible on this computer? [16:16] eltume: the password thing [16:16] Leemp: in init.d, you must have a proper init script for it, which responds to start, stop, restart, etc... [16:16] eltume: well a key and a password, really [16:16] ok [16:17] jtaji: Does all of that run from root? Because a program from init.d doesn't have rights to read my external hard drive [16:17] how come an irc client is not installed by default on ubuntu [16:17] ?

How would I get rid of them? [16:21] LewisDre4m: lame is the mp3 encoder [16:21] !enter | vonadhz [16:21] vonadhz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

GSTREAMER: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=7 ! id3v2mux [16:22] lewisdrea4m ya now I remember you take an audio cd and convert to mp3 [16:22] vonadhz: sh ./file.bin [16:22] does anyone know how to intall a bin on ubuntu? [16:22] vonadhz: what is it? [16:22] okay [16:22] its java install [16:22] !java | vonadhz [16:22] vonadhz: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [16:22] vonadhz: don't install that bin file. get it from the repositories instead.

GSTREAMER: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=7 ! id3v2mux . Now If in that text I could to get higher bitrate when I rip cd's? [16:22] oh [16:23] LjL: where can i get that? [16:23] LewisDre4m: the command denotes a vbr preset, so if your mp3s are 128, then there is something seriously wrong [16:23] vonadhz: from the standard ubuntu repositories. please read the page i just sent you [16:23] LewisDre4m: it's right there, vbr-quality=7, so it's not 128kbps, but actually variable bit rate... I usually use vbr-quality of 2 [16:23] LewisDre4m: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lame [16:23] Hello, can someone tell me if is posible to install qdvdauthor 2.0 on ubuntu 8.10 ? [16:23] k [16:23] sorry VBR is 6 I copyed wrong [16:24] lewisDre4m your converting audio CD's to mp3? Seems like apt-get install k3b might be all you need [16:24] Hi to all [16:24] I have a question; when I use the "open with" list to open a file, there are many superfluous options. How would I get rid of them? [16:24] VBR stands for variable bit rate, with other words: its a sort of a quality-based preset, not a bitrate one [16:24] lewisDre4m but I havn't had audio CD's for some time so I could be wrong [16:24] superboki: Oh I see. So how would I change VBR to 0 and have 192 bitrate? [16:25] sacarlson: why should one install k3b (with all its kde-depensd) for only cd-ripping? [16:25] I cannot believe no one in here has ever wanted to rip a cd above 128 k quality === fen[saal2] is now known as fen[saal3] [16:25] llutz it's all the CD tool you need for most anything [16:26] i love above 128bit [16:26] LewisDre4m, sudo apt-get install abcde [16:26] LewisDre4m: read this http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18091 [16:26] 128 k is for tards no doubt about it [16:26] llutz must take about 3 min to download? [16:26] mka: just having a look [16:26] LewisDre4m, abcde can be configured to use cdparanoia to rip and lame to encode the mp3s [16:26] sacarlson: overkill, bloat-app [16:26] quality 2 should be around the bitrates you are after [16:26] 128k will be always enought [16:26] no one knows?

I keep installing Flash player with the installer, it seems to install it correctly, however, my firefox never seems to have picked it, and asks me to install missing plugin. When I click to install it again, it tells me it's already installed. My guess is that it's not installing it in the right directory for Firefox 3.5, but somewhere else. Do [16:27] LewisDre4m, or alternatively, use your whatever ripper to rip to WAV format and use lame to encode each wave yourself to whatever bitrate of mp3 you want [16:28] flash and 64bits architecture do not always works as well as it should [16:28] garfir should be a non issue [16:28] <_Narc_> Hey Folks, sorry to repeat again but anyone experienced an almost completely non-functioning left-click after updating Karmic these days ? I disabled Compiz effect, Gnome-Do but I still can't focus or click buttons or anything on windows. I'm using a Desktop, not a laptop. Xev is not registering any event when I'm clicking.

I'm just gonna take a look at abcde [16:28] superboki: ok man ty for all your help [16:28] LewisDre4m: or ripperx [16:28] PulTec: it seems Firefox never sees the plugin whatsoever [16:29] llutz: took a look at ripper x and you cant change bit rate [16:29] hum thats a different matter [16:29] wt.., what has a gui to do with lame settings? [16:29] LewisDre4m: sure you can [16:29] let me see here [16:29] I have a question; when I use the "open with" list to open a file, there are many superfluous options. How would I get rid of them? [16:29] they will be wrong with any gui, if you dont set them right [16:29] LewisDre4m: vbr, 320k works fine [16:29] mka: I installed abcde but where is it?

[17:19] DasEi: unfourtunatly, not with me [17:19] does all this happen after the OS startes loading or while grub starts loading ? [17:19] evergrenn: if the xsane homepage does not mention the scanner.. or says its not supported.. then its not supported. [17:19] thevishy: both [17:19] basically i need my settings to remain the same so all i've got to do is change the page in the scanner and press a button so its quick [17:19] evergrenn: a lotof old scanners have no linux support [17:19] What will take longer time to partition a 160 GB hard disk for Windows and Ubuntu: Gparted or cfdisk?

[17:21] om26er: I doubt your statement. GParted told me that it needs 3 hours and more. [17:21] why cant u just try the LIVE CD by going to your bios and making the boot prefernce as CD ROM and then HARD DISK first ?

[17:39] i did that [17:39] datzy1: sudo fdisk -l , just one drive /dev/sda ?(^tyopo*) [17:39] tony_, i have heard zero details concering your fuse not working, such as did it connect with anything else, any other versions of linux etc??? [17:39] DasEi: there is another drive too [17:39] sdb1 [17:39] canthus13: no, I don't have a windows machine actually [17:39] or sdb [17:39] tony_: you want to connect a mp3 player to ubuntu then ? [17:39] one ubuntu box and a few macbooks [17:39] mattwynne: Ah. Do you know the exact chipset for that linksys adapter? [17:39] tony_, ubuntuforums.org and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu are good places to ask [17:40] So, are there any game developers, or anyone who makes flash movies and needs electronic music of some sort? [17:40] datzy1: which is the ubu one ? [17:40] do i use mailx with ssmtp to send mail? [17:40] DasEi: sda [17:40] i did that i plug in nothing works [17:40] Casey: you can [17:40] canthus13 not off-hand. How would I find out? google it? or could they be different for the same model? [17:40] DasEi, google it [17:40] i change setting in player plug it in nothing works [17:40] i need some help set it up [17:40] mattwynne: Google it. [17:40] mattwynne: The same model should always have the same chipset. [17:41] om26er: nick miss ? [17:41] Casey: read man-page [17:41] mattwynne: Which model is it? [17:41] how can i get best info about "linux" and "music" ... is there any musician here ? === alex_ivaylov is now known as Alx[AwaY] [17:41] dreamy: What sort of info are you looking for? [17:41] datzy1: sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda [17:41] k [17:41] DasEi, this was a suggestion to "what is ubuntuone" [17:42] linux.. and music.. see also jack..jokosher.. [17:42] om26er: nick miss ? [17:42] dreamy: I played with some cool music stuf in ubuntu but last I tried in 8.04 some was broken [17:42] canthus13: quality.. info about some apps :S [17:42] DasEi, no, i thought you were asking what is ubuntu one.. [17:42] tony_: so got your player with 1 gb, got to mount it then [17:42] hello! why does the package visualvm depends on openjdk even if sun's java is already installed ? [17:42] damn xsane is sooo slow :-/ [17:42] dreamy: It's..... OK. Could be a lot better, though. YOu might look into Ubuntu Studio for starters. [17:42] dreamy: It's a remix geared toward multimedia creation. [17:43] DasEi: Bad majic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda, Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock [17:43] om26er: no I'm actually I'm doing tony and da right now [17:43] canthus13: what about a good variaty of app s? [17:43] dreamy I do use audacious to play all my music it works fine [17:43] datzy1: aharrr [17:43] canthus13: ... could be bettter then the machintosh maybe? [17:43] dreamy: It comes with quite a few apps installed. For audio recording, audacity is a bit like cakewalk. [17:43] ardour is what i use [17:44] dreamy: Mmm.... It has the potential, but it's not quite there yet. You can still get production-quality results, though. [17:44] dreamy but rosegarden is cool but not sure it's working for me now [17:44] sacarlson: what is that app about? [17:44] canthus13: this one I think: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Wireless-G-Portable-Adapter-WUSB54GP-BP/dp/B0001DA93E (it's stuck around the back of the machine behind the sofa!) [17:44] DasEi: something with ext4 and HDD firmware maybe? [17:44] dreamy rosegarden is like a studio recorder player synth [17:44] when i try to send mail i get [17:44] some help here please [17:44] send-mail: 553 5.1.0 server does not exist E2110 [17:44] Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1 [17:45] DasEi: just a guess.. I don't know what else changed... [17:45] is there any way of making the preview window in xsane display the just-scanned image if i dont make a preview beforehand? [17:45] mattwynne: Depends on the version, looks like. You'd have to get a look at the adapter to find out the exact version. [17:45] Casey: you have to configure ssmtpd, not mailx [17:46] mattwynne: lsusb will get you the usb ID of the adapter, tho. [17:46] datzy1: so we are back to fs-check then ; the problem is e2fsck can easily damage a fs worse, when the hd is mounted , a workaround is to have it mounted readonly, but that means altering grub's menu [17:46] Good Morning -- has anyone else besides me have issues running XCONSOLE with Ubuntu 9.10? [17:46] tony_: open a terminal .. [17:46] mattwynne: And you might be able to google the ID to find out the exact version of the adapter. [17:46] sacarlson: ok ill give it a try .. ty alot [17:46] DasEi: I don't know... [17:46] DasEi you could boot with a live cd and run e2fsck [17:47] dreamy no problem [17:47] i need alittle help setting up ssmtp [17:47] sacarlson: if we could, we had half a hour ago ;-) [17:47] XConsole won't run from a standard terminal, like it used to in 9.04, and when run as sudo, it will not output any system messages. [17:48] tony_: open ? [17:48] any game developers here need music for anything? http://sites.google.com/site/bubbleslot/musicss/tinnitus.mp3 is something I'm working on atm [17:48] * datzy1 contemplates his debian netinstall image that has also been downloaded [17:48] datzy1: also can use another cd, like knoppix, which boots on most computers [17:49] DasEi: might have something like that sitting around [17:49] do i put my email in [17:49] # Where will the mail seem to come from? [17:49] #rewriteDomain= [17:49] is it normal for xsane to be this slow writing file to disk? [17:49] DasEi datzy1 ya or DSL that's only about 50meg might work too [17:49] well i just tried running the browser only in its own workspace, no difference [17:50] sacarlson: not sure if it brings fsck, (DSL) [17:50] gui7: How big is the file? [17:50] DasEI: I'm not sure eather but fsck is almost standard at boot time [17:51] Hey guys quick question. I installed ubuntu 9.10 on my second hdd. Is there a way to install grub on the second hdd from a usb stick? [17:51] Hi, I update my ubuntu kramic and after a system reboot, I am getting this error message: "The default configuration for gnome power management have not installed correctly" any idea? [17:51] I don't want to see grub when I turn on the comuter, instead for me to manually pick to boot my second hdd [17:51] this really sux, i just went through a battle for the last 2 days getting nvidia driver to work (wrong xorg.conf (thanks ubuntu) ) and a bcm4306 chipset which refuses to stay assoicated when using iwconfig, but works fine with network manager [17:52] LusGmarine: well you only need one grub unless you plan to remove one of them at some time [17:52] canthus13, about 38kb after being compressed into jpeg [17:52] DasEi: I found a D.S.L> cd [17:52] canthus13, they're in bw [17:52] gui7: then no. It shouldn't take that long. [17:52] Casey: there you put your domain (i.e. that-domain.local) in, if you have one. sent mail then appears as coming from xxxx@that-domain.local [17:53] datzy1: live-able, terminal ? boot it, try man fsck [17:53] ok [17:53] ty [17:53] k [17:53] phxheat [17:53] canthus13, it takes around 19 seconds for a single image [17:53] lusgmarine if you want to play with other systems you might want to try virtualbox and run under the first system [17:53] Casey: "man 5 ssmtp.conf" [17:54] is there a linux equiv of battlechess 4000? [17:54] anyone hre isntall ubuntu off a 1gb flash drive?

[17:55] LuisGMarine, had to because i built a single board computer and it has no IDE or SATA [17:55] LuisGmarine: I tried but found the disk was counterfit and failed. but it should work [17:55] LuisGMarine: I did few times [17:55] whenever i open amarok or start playing a song or any sound in ubuntu i get a loud, short crackling noise. is this a known bug? anyone knows how to fix it? [17:56] luisGmarine: I did get DSL to run and install from flash disk [17:56] DasEi: ok, man fsck [17:56] arrrggghhhh, just when i thought i was done with all the hassles [17:56] is it the same as installing from a cd? [17:56] canthus13, are 19 seocnds normal for a scan in xsane? [17:56] I mean, I *could* burn a cd, but I'm bored [17:56] Hello, Anyone can give me a hand setting up a vpn connection over ipsec + l2tp ? [17:56] so I figured I'd install from a USB drive [17:56] datzy1: in the terminal-utils ? [17:56] but I don't want to do it, if I'm going ot be suffering in the end [17:56] any idea? [17:57] heh, when i tried to play a song in audacious it was set to pulseaudio, it just refused to play anything (no error message, nothing) my fix was to switch the output to alsa. try that!

[17:57] what should i put in hostname [17:57] LuisGMarine: use unetbootin, fine for that, install much quickwer (depending on stick n port, though), save cd [17:57] LuisGmarine: you can try the systems with only the ISO file with virtualbox [17:57] Casey: FuckPC?? ^^ [17:58] nogger: check out www.codeweavers.com [17:58] firetek: thats a perl module i reckon, [17:58] DasEi: I don't know what you mean [17:58] i wonder why blank screen has lcd lights on :D it is darker when gnome darkening effect starts... then it shines :D [17:58] Hello I have a problem, I try to open a program, startupmanager and it opens, it says configuring then goes away and doesnt open .

[17:58] grendal_prime: thanks. ^^ [17:58] DasEi: yes [17:58] you may want to look into paying for a subscription to cedega.. [17:58] nogger: I don't play that game but TF2 and WOW run fine in it. [17:58] canthus13, what im finding starnge is that what takes the most time - over half the time - is after the scanner has stopped moving - in winblows xp it didnt take as long [17:58] dtownhero, I have to connect to a vpn at work so I can't use other software :( [17:59] datzy1: fine, you know how to become root in dsl ? [17:59] crash82: I connect to my work vpn all the time [17:59] with that software [17:59] DasEi: no [17:59] Hello I have a problem, I try to open a program, startupmanager and it opens, it says configuring then goes away and doesnt open . It used to open all the time its just starting to do this now [17:59] gui7: Ah. Could just be some sort of inefficienty with xsane. [17:59] especailly if you are going to be doing alot of gamming stuff... its like 5 bucks a month and they work all that stuff out for you.

[18:02] Casey: maybe you should read/learn at least some basics about mailservers before trying to run one. its a real complicated stuff, with lots of traps you can tap in. 1st read documentation for ssmtp [18:02] its the second laptop that after using "hardware drivers" to install the dirver, it didnt work and i had to figure out another method, dosent anyone test this stuff? its terrible, it reminds of the old days with windoze [18:02] slart: do you know? [18:02] vonadhz: hard to say.. that error message wasn't very descriptive... [18:03] FireTek: yes.. you did.. after a while =) [18:03] should i tell you the entire log [18:03] vonadhz: try pastebinning it [18:03] datzy1: like /dev/sda1 /dev/sda5 or whatever , if you had no spereate /boot, it's just /root [18:03] !pastebin | vonadhz [18:03] vonadhz: 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 [18:03] people ask me about ubuntu, and i just tell them its basically like dealing with windows. nothing works well [18:03] DasEi: Boot /dev/hdb1 [18:03] is there anyway to disable any cacheing on disk writes so that all write commands do not return until it is physically written to disk? [18:03] ?? [18:03] i think i just wipe this install and battle with debain again, like i did on my old laptop...... [18:03] jiffe99: what about mounting the disk as sync ? [18:04] jiffe99 if you want to be sure it is all written, try unmounting. you cant unmount while busy :D [18:04] DasEi: looks hda1 [18:04] for boot [18:04] anybody here using banshee?

[18:08] yes i have wireless access point and i using jonty .

[18:09] what this error may be [18:09] anyone? [18:09] http://pastebin.com/de4eadf1 [18:09] vonadhz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:10] Hombre, que pasa? [18:10] vonadhz: Probably, but I wouldn't know how. You'd need to talk to someone who programs in whatever language the bug is happening in. [18:11] superblock could not be read [18:11] FireTek: you need to give more information, what were you trying to do when you got that error? what program were you running? etc? [18:11] * canthus13 isn't a programmer. Sorry. [18:11] does anyone program here lol [18:11] in what language? [18:11] vonadhz yes I do why [18:12] DasEi: could not be read, or does not describe a correct ext2 [18:12] filesystem [18:12] this language http://pastebin.com/de4eadf1 [18:12] python? [18:12] sacarlson: Using jonty, and i think wireless network is not detected while ethernet connection is detected automatically. [18:13] how can i put a live cd on my flash drive [18:13] demon_D_MAN: can you tell me what this error is http://pastebin.com/de4eadf1 [18:13] datzy1: there we are, ext2,max ext3 expected, not a good idea to try fsck without options then, your risk (and choice), or find out if dsl supports ext3 least [18:13] vonadhz, looks like your GUI is broken.. [18:13] try reinstallling? [18:13] snake: one way is to use unetbootin, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [18:13] sacarlson: so according to me i need to set up my wireless network, but what is the procedure for that? [18:14] vonadz you might need to reinstall your gui but can I see whole the code? [18:14] what can i do agaist script attacks in xchat? [18:14] LjL: does that app come on linux? [18:14] Elive-user86_en: shit isnt that bad [18:14] i always see file saving prompt [18:14] demon_D_MAN: how can i do that? [18:14] snake: click the link and find out...? [18:14] ? you are not the owner of the script [18:14] hamzaatova2: lower it's ressources, jail in apparmor or such (chroot like) [18:15] swapnil: well do you have some kind of an access point or maybe your ADSL modem has one build in? [18:15] Nobody had sound problems in the past? [18:16] swapnil: if not you need to go buy one and hook it up and then setup a name for it and that's about it === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [18:16] swapnil: plug it into your present ethernet conection if you have one === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [18:17] i'm building a website, and it just looks really mess up on IE... and perfectly on firefox and chrome.... now what should i do hahaha? [18:18] jaypur: stop using IE? [18:18] jaypur: asking ubuntu to develop ie ? === spirple is now known as spirple_shower [18:19] jaypur: you can setup php to detect if the user is IE and send them to another page that fits that browser [18:19] DasEi, i hate IE, and i was thinking, this website is for a portifolio purpose... so what should i do if some uses IE and want to hire me ahahah [18:19] i was thinking to get a message at index [18:19] like [18:19] you need to use firefox [18:20] indeed [18:20] that would be the solution [18:20] I installed a persistent ubuntu onto a flash drive now I can format the drive. any ideas? [18:20] if it really looks nice in firefox/chrome don't mess with the code [18:20] Jaypur: I've had sites tell me I had to have IE to work there so I had to fake them and send header to make them think I ran IE just to access them [18:20] sacarlson: yaa i have one access point, which has ethernet as well as wireless connection point. THe wireless point is working fine for windows, but not for ubuntu. [18:20] datzy1: so, you can-on you own risk- do : fsck /dev/hda1 but I'd rather check that ext 3 is supported from that call, testdik-runs are really -- time intensive [18:21] HAHAHA sacarlson [18:21] sacarlson: smart but do they still show up right? [18:21] swapnil: if it works for windows it should work for unbuntu. is is encrypted? [18:21] demon_D_man yes they do [18:21] how do u force format a usb drive [18:22] thekid I think the command is dd [18:22] sacarlson, i dont know if i should have a message like, use firefox... [18:22] sacarlson: wth I don't understand those fools why do they only want ie [18:22] i tried dd and it says the drive is read only [18:22] thekid: make sure drive isn't mounted, format with gparted [18:22] Hi [18:22] it is not mounted [18:23] vonadzh: hi again [18:23] How come when I try to install a theme it says can not move directory over directory? [18:23] demon_d_man microsoft must pay them? [18:23] sacarlson: yaa, but for windows its has its own installation CD, which helps to setup wireless network, but that installation is failed on ubuntu. === kb is now known as Guest29792 [18:23] ? [18:23] sacarlson: ah =D I just don't use microsoft products [18:23] vonadhz: you tried to copy or move files around [18:23] whats a good video capture card that has an HD input [18:23] I didnt [18:24] I hate to break up the IE debate guys but well it's OT. Head to #ubuntu-offtopic please [18:24] swapnil: encryped? [18:24] if i just click download [18:24] Any other ideas [18:24] and open with theme manager [18:24] it says that [18:24] sacarlson: yes. [18:24] DasEi: howcome? [18:24] vonadhz: or the installer tried [18:24] swapnil: just put the wep wap key number in and it should work [18:24] i'm supposed to be a professional webdesigner lol [18:24] swapnil: do you know what the hex key number is? [18:25] sacarlson: no, [18:25] How do you delete persistent ubuntu install from usb [18:25] swapnil: well you will have to get that number before ubuntu can work [18:26] vonadhz: let's say you got a folder, containg 3 subfolders 1,2,3 , you then try to put 1,2, into 3, doing it by mv /folder/* /folder/F3 , then you won't move F3 into F3 , getting that error [18:26] DasEi: swapped my graphics card, got login screen first try [18:26] DasEi: I see [18:26] DasEiL thanks i got it [18:26] swapnil: most routers have a browser login that you can set the wep key and find what it is [18:26] sacarlson: Ok, so should i ask to my service provider for wep wap key number? [18:27] phxheat [18:27] swapnil: you should ask him what the default IP address and user name and password to login to your router [18:27] sacarlson: yes, my ubuntu login is through web-browser. [18:27] Does anybody have any tips or alternatives to using unetbootin? I've had no luck with it so far. [18:27] datzy1: it's somewhat strange, bad superblock won't have given you terminal with write-acces, not sure what's on there [18:28] swapnil: then go to wifi control of the website of the router and set or check the wep key === Evil_DuDe_ is now known as Evil_DuDe [18:29] swapnil: this is your personal router ADSL at your home? [18:29] DasEi: I don't know either... === ring1 is now known as ring0 === spirple_shower is now known as spirple [18:29] sacarlson: yes, but provided by my service provider. [18:29] datzy1: so you could log in again now ? [18:30] DasEi: yea, GUI is working now [18:30] *in regular desktop [18:30] swapnil: well if they setup the router then they should give you the hex key number [18:30] datzy1: anyway, force fsck to do a check soon then [18:30] DasEi: ok [18:30] sacarlson: and they provide me username , password and MAC id . [18:31] datzy1: sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda [18:31] swapnil: oh it's not encrypted it's just a login system [18:31] swapnil: so it sounds like it works [18:31] sacarlson: with this information i am able to setup wireless connection on windows, but not on ubuntu. So i need hex key number as well. [18:32] swapnil: if you can already login to the web server with ubuntu then it's not encrypted. [18:33] xD [18:33] sacarlson: Oh, got ur point. Yaa, i am able to login but through ethernet. Wanna to login through wireless connection. [18:34] guys where are the logs that tell me what happens when network manager tries to connect to a wireless connection? [18:34] swapnil: oh ok well you should be able to login on ethernet and find or change the wep key then [18:34] mattwynne: /var/log/syslog ? [18:35] sacarlson: how to find that wep key [18:35] mattwynne: cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep NetworkManager, [18:35] mattwynee: tries or does connect? you can look at the dhcp logs [18:35] err... no comma at the end of that. [18:35] DasEi: guess it didn't like my nvidia 6600 [18:35] mattwynee: dhcp leases [18:36] sacarlson: it looks like it tries and fails the DHCP [18:36] swapnil: what model route is it? [18:36] datzy1: very unlikely [18:37] sacarlson: where do I find logs on the DHCP? [18:37] mattwynne: with no address recieved? [18:37] sacarlson: "DHCP transaction took too long, stopping it" === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:37] why you having trouble connecting to a wireless network? [18:37] because I am too, lol === kb is now known as Guest1259 [18:37] so i removed the networkmonitor on my panel how do i get it back [18:38] DasEi: Well, maybe made the diff between GUI and no GUI, guess there is still that fs issue [18:38] mattwynne: well if your dhcp service is from ubuntu then it would be at /var/lib/dhcp [18:38] sacarlson: it its MM2211 wireless broadband model. [18:38] right-click the panel, and then "Add to panel " and look for network applet [18:38] tsuna27: you mean Network Manager? [18:38] dnivra: the thing that shows the wireless network and what % strength [18:38] sacarlson: you mean the logs? [18:39] mattwynne: you can snoop the network and see what trafic is happening with wireshark to find what is happening [18:39] Q: Is there anyway to rename the ntfs drives? [18:39] tsuna27, read what I just said up top [18:39] tsune27: ok. check out what LuisGMarine said. [18:39] does anyone know what binary is the login screen ? [18:39] mattwynne: those are the leases on my system [18:39] sacarlson: there are files in there. would it help if I deleted them? are they dirty old files confusing things? [18:39] mattwynne: you dhcp might come from your router ADSL [18:39] isolat3dsh33p: label them ? maybe gparted can do it [18:40] LuisGMarine: what have you changed on your system? [18:40] mattwynne, nothing I'm rolling back to ubuntu 8.04 [18:40] sacarlson: I'm really confused - my wireless has just totally stopped working. I upgraded the firmware on my router, but I've also done abour 3 weeks worth of system updates on ubuntu [18:40] I could see my wireless network, but it could never establish the connection [18:40] mattwynne: delete for what? won't help anything [18:40] brb [18:41] I'll let you know how it goes, I'm going to try and boot from a usb stick [18:41] datzy1: think so, too but weird is still, that if you got a damaged superblock, it will be monter ro then, so no paste-install possible there, your syslog tells about 3ratelimits when gdm was running, the only fact about your fs is dsl - which I can't know- works so or else [18:41] right so I should try using grub to boot into the old kernel from before the updates [18:41] yeah it is not there the one that is the bars, i cant find it [18:41] mattwynne: well try boot a small DSL (dam small linux) or window or other system to isolate what side your problem is on [18:42] can someone help me resolve a random kernel panic with 64 bit karmic please? [18:42] anyone know how to group accounts for the same person in Empathy the way you can in Pidgin? [18:42] mattwynne: that sounds good go old try that [18:43] My co-worker has a box with a virtual machine in it, running Ubuntu 8 (this old Ubuntu is the newest that works in this virtual box). Trouble is, he needs to run svn in it, and that old version of Ubuntu has an old version of svn. How can we upgrade just the svn? === Mud is now known as Guest17041 [18:43] andyjb10, no such thing as random failure, something is causing it. :) new install? [18:43] how do you find all blocked IP's via comand line? [18:43] erUSUL: can't label it using gparted. In fstab, which column should i place the label? [18:43] yes [18:43] liveCD was fine === mag is now known as Guest67173 [18:43] ok [18:43] do anyone know which binary is the login screen in 9.10 ? [18:43] i think it may be something to do with the wireless card [18:44] wad: fresh install of the whole ? [18:44] andyjb10, fail on first boot? [18:44] isolat3dsh33p: "rename the ntfs drives" what did you meant by that? [18:44] DasEi, ah, that's a good idea. [18:44] no, fail after 10-30 minutes of normal use [18:44] how do you find all blocked IP's via comand line? [18:44] TylerPlack: blocked how? [18:45] erUSUL: I have a partition of type ntfs, with a name Downloads, now I wan't to rename it to something else. [18:45] from several failed login attemps [18:45] attempts* [18:45] TylerPlack: blocked with what? iptables? /etc/hosts.deny? [18:45] wad:todays installers are so fast, takes ~half an hour for a default install, and vbox features are also worth the job [18:45] isolat3dsh33p: the name of the mount point ? [18:45] andyjb10, so you can log in? what apps are you running when it happens? [18:46] erUSUL: /media/Downloads. I did try change it, it doesn't change the label [18:46] Where is xorg.conf now? [18:46] i0x71 I think there are three binary file methods to login to ubuntu that are selectable one is KDE one is gnome and anther is like text. gnome method I think is the default [18:46] skrite: firefox, terminal, file browser, sometimes vlc and other stuff [18:46] DasEi, wait, I was thinking you suggested uninstalling Subversion completely from that Ubuntu install, then manually installing the latest version of the package. [18:46] isolat3dsh33p: just make a new directory and change fstab to match the new mount point [18:47] DasEi, Apparently this VM he's got won't run the latest Ubuntu. Not sure why he thinks that... [18:47] conb123: there is none by default [18:47] erUSUL: Ok, I'll try it. Thanks man. :) [18:47] erUSUL: Oh, so what do i do if i want to change my X configuration? [18:47] so it seems that, by upgrading the firmware in my netgear DG834PN router to the latest, I can no longer talk DHCP with it [18:47] I've installed ubuntu server with lamp in a vbox how do I access phpmyadmin in a normal browser [18:47] skrite: all of which have been open for at least a few minutes before the kernel panic [18:47] <_Narc_> Hey folks, any idea why I'm having a very troublesome * left click * since I updated yesterday ? I'm using a Desktop, not a laptop, I disabled Compiz but it's pretty random, still. When I experience it, I can click buttons, tabs, focus windows or anything... Thanks for your help. [18:47] wad: the newest (and also older versions) of vbox do fine, even lucid [18:47] Where is Network Manager? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman [18:48] mattwynne: you can turn dhcp one and off on the router. you sure it turned on? [18:48] just to check, a black screen of death and flashing caps lock LED does mean kernel panic, right? [18:48] conb123: you can cretae one if you must. try « gksudo Xorg -configure » [18:48] _Narc_: are you sure it's not a physical problem with your mouse? [18:48] sacarlson: it must be on because it's working for the laptops [18:48] LF: Anyone who can walk me through changing my splash screen + login screen to the "login scan fusion" offered by gnome art under the "Get more themes online" option in the appearance menu. [18:48] DasEi, ah, that makes it easier. Just use the latest Ubuntu under the latest vbox. [18:48] <_Narc_> mhall119|work: No, I'm sure, it worked fine, i never had any problem with it and it's actually working on Windows [18:48] andyjb10, all packages up to date?

[18:49] mattwynne: does it work with wire? [18:49] sacarlson: using WPA / PSK for wireless security if that's what you mean [18:49] phxheat [18:49] sacarlson: if that were physically possible I wouldn't be arsing around with this wireless lark :) [18:49] wad: yes, but also the last three vboxes (counting updates in whole numbers behind the dot) did well [18:49] ok some1 is spamming.,..

[19:01] teknozwizard: .png files are not a splash or login theme, they're just an image [19:01] mhall119|work you are lucky to have some "upgraded ubuntu version" better than mine then [19:01] fbi trying to frame me [19:01] lol [19:01] mhall119|work: Is there a way to convert it to a splash format? [19:01] who knows [19:01] tobiasz: we all have the same Ubuntu, just different packages installed [19:01] erUSUL: ok, so i would have a karmic partition as well as a /home partition. the 'home' partition would house all my post-installation programs and data, and the karmic would house all the main dependencies such as the kernel [19:01] teknozwizard: I'm not sure [19:01] Hi... how can I enable surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I installed XP and it supports it (Mic/Line-in used)... but Ubuntu won't... any ideas? Motherboard is a Geforce6100SM-M and audio chip is ALC660. [19:01] protojay: look, he's not the only one. DCC spam is a known and recurring phenomenon, other people have complained in other channels too. you don't need to be the smart'un. [19:02] <_Narc_> Hey folks, any idea why I'm having a very troublesome * left click * since I updated yesterday ? I'm using a Desktop, not a laptop, mouse is working on other OS, I disabled Compiz but nothing work. I think it happens when I launch Firefox but not sure. When I experience it, I can't click buttons, tabs, focus windows or anything... Thanks for your help. [19:02] I just installed ubuntu on my desktop computer but my wireless adapter (usb) (wg111t_1_2) Is not working can someone help me? My ubuntu version is 9.10 -the Karmic koala- [19:02] LjL, oh right, i didnt know... [19:02] sacarlson: so with security off, it works. I've gone back to the old kernel I was using this morning, so it must be due to the bloody router upgrade. [19:02] sacarlson: thoughts? [19:02] mahngiel: no; home holds data. most programs install on /usr/ mainly. core things install in / [19:02] meway: have you rebooted again since the initial install? [19:02] meway: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108 [19:03] I've had trouble with WPA on older ubuntus but this one seemed fine [19:03] mahngiel: why do you want separate partitions? [19:03] andyjb10, i don't think you will need to re-install the wireless package. [19:03] mattwynn_: well you did two things instead of one. it could be the encryption or the kernel [19:03] mahngiel: what are you exactly trying to do? [19:03] mattwynn_, the .31 kernel or the .26 kernal distributed with ubuntu? [19:03] mhall119|work: yes I have im currently on my laptop wich wireless worked right away [19:03] andyjb10, did the wireless package come as part of apt? or did you install from somewhere else? [19:03] Hey [19:03] meway: what chipset do you have? [19:03] erUSUL: mainly for backup. i just want to have a small house for all the core installs, and a place for all my extra software [19:03] sacarlson: no I've just booted into the kernel version I was running this morning when all was well [19:03] mattwynn_: my guess is you have a broadcom wifi device and it don't work encrypted [19:04] wireless adapter (usb) (wg111t_1_2) [19:04] can some one tell my why doesn't gstreamer work at all and never did? Got 4 computers neither works with it [19:04] mhall119|work: wireless adapter (usb) (wg111t_1_2) [19:04] Hey how do you get the interface name of a usb wireless? [19:04] tobiasz: did you install the codecs you need? [19:04] one 9.10 two 9.04 machines and one 8.10 [19:04] mattwynn_ well if it's encryption then you eather have the wrong key set or it's the driver [19:05] Younder: 2.6.31.14-generic [19:05] mahngiel: so you want to backup only /usr for example? [19:05] how do I quick quote in xchat? [19:05] does ubuntu have anything like spotlight or windows quick search? [19:05] Younder: I think system update took it up to 2.6.31.16 this afternoon [19:05] !tab | tobiasz [19:05] tobiasz: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:05] mattwynn_ I've spent a whole day working on getting broadcom wifi to work encrypted on ubuntu 8.04 and failed. [19:05] erUSUL, thx [19:05] Hi... how can I enable surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I installed XP and it supports it (Mic/Line-in used)... but Ubuntu won't... any ideas? Motherboard is a Geforce6100SM-M and audio chip is ALC660. [19:06] sacarlson: I guess it's the driver - the reason I started messing about with this is the machine has been dropping it's connection [19:06] apipkin: gnome-do and deskbar-applet [19:06] erUSUL: essentially, yes. and if i dual-booted with , say, kubuntu, I could share the files via a link instead of downloading it twice [19:06] mhall119|work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111 may be what im looking for [19:06] mhall119|work I only installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:06] (so when I say everything was working this morning...) [19:06] mattwynn_ what does lspci say? [19:06] mhall119|work: i dont know what that means :-/ [19:06] * apipkin looks at google [19:06] chazco: Have you tried this. http://www.webupd8.org/2009/06/enable-surround-sound-in-ubuntu-linux.html [19:06] tobiasz: there are several gstreamer codec packages [19:06] mattwynn_ or is it a usb device lsusb [19:06] warriorforgod - Yes, no luck [19:06] Hey guys is it possible to use regular expressions in a rsync command? [19:07] mhall119|work which one do I need to watch youtube in totem [19:07] sacarlson: yeah it's a usb device - Linksys WUSB54GP [19:07] apipkin: they are programs that work like spotlight [19:07] mahngiel: i do not think is woth the trouble. core thigs (outside /usr ) are only a few hundred MiB. i will use a parition for root and another for /home [19:07] ah :) [19:07] tobiasz: depends on the codec used by the youtube video [19:07] chazco: How abou this one? http://ubuntuguide.net/make-sound-quality-better-in-ubuntu-9-10karmic-with-pulseaudio-equalizer [19:07] guys, i'm using karmic... beside the date&time on the panel there was a button which shows my username and when i click that button it has options to restart, suspend, lock, shutdown... it's gone now... how do i install it again? [19:07] mahngiel: thanks :) [19:07] mattwynn_: never played with that never seen any bad things about it [19:07] mhall119|work: like this ? http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/145368 [19:08] erUSUL: and share the /home with the other OS, with different users, correct? [19:08] meway: np [19:08] gharz: right click choose add to panel [19:08] apipkin: yes, those [19:08] anyone know why it takes a long time to ssh login to any of my 9.10 machines? [19:08] I like Deskbar, others like Gnome-Do [19:08] mattwynn_: if you want encryption then maybe go VPN instead forget wpa [19:08] jiffe99: PAM modules perhaps [19:08] mahngiel: what other OS ? another linux distributions ? yes you could do that [19:08] sacarlson: i just want security - I live in central london [19:08] most are default install [19:09] mahngiel: but make sure the UID so not clash between distributions [19:09] How do I fix "libsigc++ not installed"? [19:09] erUSUL: ofc other linux distros! :) i won't use M$ or Mac. any tips on the UUIDs? [19:09] mcce11 sudo apt-get install libsigc++ [19:09] :| [19:09] erUSUL: it's not the user switcher... it has different color and appearance... it's got a balloon beside my name... [19:09] mattwynn_: turn off dhcp go static IP and go VPN. maybe too much trouble and not easy for many to use [19:09] :( [19:09] erUSUL: just trying to get a setup to where no matter the distro, i have access to the same files [19:10] mahngiel: ubuntu/debian assing 1000 to the first user you create and go up from that make sure the other users in the other distros do not use 1000 too [19:10] is there a way i can force eject it so that I may insert disc 2 and continue the installation? [19:10] sacarlson the thing is, I was using a static IP until this morning too - it's a server basically so that's the use case I want [19:10] woops [19:10] "E: Couldn't find package libsigc" [19:10] erUSUL: how would i ensure that... if say i installed ubuntu and then kubuntu? [19:10] mhall119|work: When downloading splash screens from the gnome art website you get to via "Get more themes online" option under preferrences, you have to right click "save image as" .so and it will load properly in startupmanager. [19:10] hello. im trying to install Civilization IV via wine. Set up is going well, however, its asking for disc 2 (its a 3 disc set). The problem is: I am unable to eject the disc so I can put in the next one. [19:10] sacarlson: I actually thought DHCP would be simpler! [19:10] gharz: indicator-applet-session is the name displayed in properties [19:11] mahngiel: what if I dont have the cd but I have a folder with the drivers? and im not connected to the internet? Included on the CDROM provided with the device are Windows drivers. Place the CD in the drive and install these with ndiswrapper: [19:11] jesse2: you have to unmount it first [19:11] mcce11: sudo apt-get install libsigc++)c2 [19:11] after login everything seems to be fine, it is just the initial login that seems to take forever [19:11] mahngiel: you can have gnome and kde in the same ubuntu install [19:11] mattwynn_: not on the sever side I keep them static [19:11] sacarlson: I notice from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/LinksysWUSB54GP that people have had to do hacky things to get WPA to work [19:11] mahngiel: it wont seem to let me unmount it without killing hte process [19:11] I'm seeing this on production machines at work and machines I have setup at home [19:11] mattwynn_: aah that's it then [19:11] sacarlson: but that was on an older version of ubuntu [19:12] mattwynn_: well seem in the later version just more things are broken not less [19:12] Are there any addons for firefox that will make flash load in low quality mode [19:12] brb === andrea is now known as Guest99488 [19:12] ciao [19:12] thanks, erUSUL. i'll just logout and login to see it [19:12] meway: let me get you the link with the ndiswrapper intel. i never used it, i used fwcutter for my drivers [19:12] mhall119|work: "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'" [19:12] meway: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 [19:12] mahngiel thx i will take a look :) [19:12] can someone recommend an email client that does not crash randomly (rules out evolution) and that does not corrupt imap folders (rules out thunderbird)? [19:13] erUSUL: i am aware of that. let me replace kubuntu with... PCBSD [19:13] <`mOOse`> can anyone recommend a pgm that I could use to format my flash drive to ext4 from windows? [19:13] 'm00se': gparted [19:13] <`mOOse`> mahngiel - thanks...I looked for a windows version but didn't find one - got any ideas? [19:13] mOOse gparted [19:13] 'm00se': window's disk manager allows you to format [19:13] mhall119|work: (Problem: Logging out to view the new splash screen does not show the splash screen change. Seeking alternate options at a later time. Thank you for your help.) [19:14] mahngiel: maybe the second OS installer let you choose the uid of the user it creates during install. if that is not the case. you can change it after installation [19:14] mahngiel, not to ext4 [19:14] mahngiel, which is what he's asking for [19:14] hi [19:14] <`mOOse`> yea, I didn't think so either dinosaurvskitten [19:14] mOOse opps windows sorry I only know linux/ubuntu [19:14] dinosaurvskitten: got it. [19:14] <`mOOse`> zok sacarlson - thanks though! [19:14] * mahngiel waves to nix-- [19:14] There isn't much for "not windows supported partition types" in windows [19:15] It says " bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)' " [19:15] er, filesystems [19:15] <`mOOse`> I guess I could do it from a live cd [19:15] 'm00se': windows doesn't like many things aside from ntfs. you could use the gparted live cd [19:15] mOOse gparted can do stuf that windows can't even do on a flash drive like multi partion [19:15] Has anyone of you managed to compile the source for voddler in ubuntu? [19:15] 'm00se': you can even get it via usb [19:15] Do I need to add libsigc.sourceforge.net to sources? [19:15] mcce11: try sudo apt-get install libsigc++0c2 libsigc++-dev [19:15] <`mOOse`> sacarlson...where do I find a windows version though? [19:15] erUSUL: i've installed that applet-session but it doesn't appear on my panel? [19:15] erUSUL: thanks for the intel, i appreciate it. i have another question for you [19:16] mOOse you can run it from a live cd on ubuntu [19:16] gharz: looked again in the right click on panel add to panel list ? [19:16] hi all [19:16] erUSUL: [19:16] mOOse no install needed [19:16] erUSUL: found it... [19:16] thanks... [19:16] erUSUL: if i downloaded a large file to fat32, could that break the file and keep it from being burnable? [19:16] <`mOOse`> k...makes sense - I'll go do that now - thanks again [19:16] Windows can't use ext4 so there's no reason for anything that supports filesystems other than FAT and NTFS to exist on windows.

[19:17] Istarnes: Thank you [19:17] mahngiel: you can not save files bigger than ( 4 GiB -1 B ) in a fat32 filesystem it will error out [19:17] helloo everyone [19:17] It still says "libsigc++ not installed." [19:17] erUSUL: i think that's fat16 fat32 can go bigger [19:18] erUSUL: yes, i knew that. but my kubuntu iso keeps breaking when i try to burn it. i've tried k3b and brasero, and all i get is errors from block problems [19:18] fat32 is 4GB. [19:18] why is it my pidgin cant connect?? [19:18] erUSUL: but the md5sum checks out [19:18] sacarlson: no; fat16 is even more limited [19:18] mahngiel: i dunno then; [19:18] i really need it === tj83 is now known as joni83 [19:19] thanks, erUSUL!!! [19:19] gharz: np [19:19] mcce11: what is giving you that error? [19:19] erUSUL: aye, me neither. so i'm reformatting my storage partition to ext3. and which is what started my original question. but thanks, time for the livecd. [19:19] erUSUL: fat32 is 32gb max http://www.allensmith.net/Storage/HDDlimit/FAT32.htm [19:19] Are there any addons for firefox that will make flash load in low quality mode? High quality just kills my system. [19:19] 'm00se': did you find the gparted live cd? [19:19] hi all. changing from eeebuntu on Acer Aspire One to Moblin. All the files i saved under Eeebuntu though are permissions protected and cannot be opened under the new OS. Anyone know how i can get around this? [19:21] sacarlson: you do not have to take my word for it. check it yourself. in windows or in linux. max filesize is 4 GiB - 1B [19:21] lstarnes: "sudo '/path/to/Cisco Aironet/linux/install'" [19:21] hi all , anyone can tell me how i can restart automatic init.d/networking after log into gnome ??

[19:22] erUSUL: I've been playing with usb drives and happen to know this [19:22] I had installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a dual boot with windows xp. It ran for around 2months and today I just tried installing Via chipset drivers on it. Some errors appeared but I still rebooted the system after it finished. After rebooting, the GRUB appears when I select Linux a text login screen apears which continously blinks and i m not able to enter linux GUI [19:22] help, anyone know here, why I can't install Opera on Ubuntu Netbook remix (need libqt3-mt, which need libaudioetc....) is there reason for this and way around it? [19:22] lstarnes: But what about the libsigc++ error? [19:22] is there anyone who can help me with an update to Easytag? [19:22] can anyone recommend any rooms for ppl new 2 linux. this one is very busy === xomas_ is now known as xomas [19:23] erUSUL: I had an 8 gb USB flash formated in fat32 that was working [19:23] natas [19:23] mcce11: if you have the right packages installed, it should work [19:23] I just installed 9.10 64 bit desktop minutes ago, and get "Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input" when using scp to copy from my server. The SSH-link also dies unexpecedtly when I mount it in the file browser... I can copy the files over http without a problem. Any ideas? [19:23] nastas [19:23] mcce11: but I don't know how that program determines what is and is not installed [19:23] is there any fix for adobe flash controls to be more responsive other than disabling compiz? [19:23] guinness: What distro are you using? [19:23] mcce11: also, make sure that build-essential is installed [19:23] I mean like buttons and stuff [19:23] eeebuntu 4 acer aspire 1 [19:23] i need someone to help me set up ssmtp [19:23] sacarlson: read what i say maximun *file* size *not* maximun partition/volume size [19:23] lstarnes: build-essential? [19:23] lilleman, sounds like a ipv6 vs. ipv4 problem. [19:23] guinness: can got to #kubuntu or #xbuntu, or use ubuntuforums.org for a softer environment [19:24] who is talking to whome? [19:24] mcce11: the package that is required for compiling programs in C or C++ [19:24] k thanks [19:24] guinness: you can change the file permisions with chmod -r username:username * [19:24] thanks, guys!

I'm not sure where the problem is. For one drive I can use fdisk to list the partition table but I can't actually mount the partition.

[19:34] recmajkemi, nice to have you aboard, we will be happy to answer any questions [19:34] yeason: select that drive (make SURE you don't mess with that), and write an empty ms-dos-table to it [19:34] :) [19:34] I did already, =) [19:34] mcce11: aptitude search libgtkmm [19:34] DasEi: I did that already. =) === fen[saal3] is now known as fen[cafeteria] [19:35] yeason: that'll destroy all on it, including the raid info [19:35] mcce11: also, try this: sudo apt-get install libsigc++-2.0-dev libsigc++-1.2-5c2 libsigc++-1.2-dev [19:35] yeason: sure it isn't mounted ? [19:35] intrepid [19:35] odd question. does ubuntu have something similar to the "snap" feature windows 7 has? [19:35] DasEi: yea, I couldn't mount it if I tried [19:35] intrepid and gnome [19:35] i'm sure that wasn't an original idea :P [19:35] yeason: open a second terminal(Tab), verify by mount [19:35] llutz, forgive my ignorance, I ran dmesg, which gave me a whole list of information. does dmesg give me a listing sort of like a log? I am having trouble finding the ipod touch in all of this [19:36] Adrian2mil9: gnome. ok, so if you go to ~/.config/autostart, is anything there? [19:36] DasEi: what exactly do you want me to check for? the drive has an empty partition table, it wont mount [19:36] gdiz: disconnect it; connect it, read dmesg, watch last lines [19:36] anyone knows why i can't use tab to list options on a ubuntu server? [19:36] in my $HOME [19:36] mahngiel This almost requires me to connect it to the internet with a cord lol well I will do that and hope for the best :) [19:36] in my $HOME ?? [19:36] How can I find out what interface a drive is connected with (IDE/SATA) in ubuntu? (Can't open the case sadly) [19:36] Adrian2mil9: yes. /home/username/.config/autostart [19:36] lstarnes: Ubuntu Pastebin [19:37] I have set my alsamixer headphonejack sense on, so installed speakers are turned off when i plug in my headset. But if computer logsoff i cannot retrieve sound back to installed speakers, how do i fix that? [19:37] might as well get flash and all that working wile im at it [19:37] llutz, ahh [19:37] yeason:if you disabled raid in bios and wrote an empty party table, it won't show as raid anymore === enzotib__ is now known as enzotib [19:37] How can I find out what interface a drive is connected with (IDE/SATA) in ubuntu? (Can't open the case sadly) [19:37] oops [19:37] i guess what the dns not working because networking and dnsmasq load before wifi is full up [19:37] whats the difference between a user and a system group? [19:37] januszeal: if it's mounted, 'mount', mounted or not, 'sudo fdisk -l' === enzotib is now known as Guest77294 [19:37] anyone knows why ubuntu limits how short can wireless password be when CONNECTING? i have access point witch use short password and i cant connect because ubuntu wont let me if password is shorter than 8 charachters? how to get around this? [19:38] januszeal: see dmesg [19:38] morphles: use wicd [19:38] jtaji: that will tell me if it's sata or ide? [19:38] januszeal: dmesg | grep -i ata [19:38] don't see anything like i want in config [19:38] can anybody get my terminal back to displaying [user@computer:~$] instead of [user@computer:/home/user$]? [19:38] mcce11: sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a libgtkmm-2.4-dev [19:38] erUSUL: ok checking [19:38] januszeal: no.. [19:38] blakkheim: is it on ubuntu install cd? [19:38] morphles: no [19:39] hi all! u gotta question on anonymous browsing. can some1 PM me plSSSSSSSSss [19:39] oops [19:39] Adrian2mil9: if you go to preferences, autostart applications, what's listed there? (this is in the gui of gnome) [19:39] and if i want to connect using only livecd/installcd? [19:39] i meant I not u lol [19:39] zer0_mood: ask your question [19:39] wolter set PS1 to "\u@\h:\w\$" [19:39] if i put the sentence in /etc/rc.local maybe work ??? [19:39] !ot | zer0_mood [19:39] zer0_mood: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:39] januszeal: you could do 'sudo lshw -C disk', then look up the drive model number [19:39] llutz, and will it be set permanently? [19:39] im making a vituralbox [19:39] Adrian2mil9: yes, but the way i was trying to set it up is after X is loaded. isn't that what you wanted? [19:39] does it work good [19:40] ok so i read on the forums that firefox and tor are really hard to get to work [19:40] hey guys i hit a snag i was using a bootloader somehow managed to erase mbr but i have a backup of it [19:40] wolter: if you edit it in ~/.bashrc, yes [19:40] so whats the alternative [19:40] wolter: set it in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc [19:40] on my usb hard disk [19:40] how can i reload it ? [19:40] hey all, I am using a labtec 1200 webcam, and it works with cheese, and gtalk via pidgin, but i cannot get it to work online, with video sites like singsnap.com or use it on meebo.com to do video chat there. it connects to /dev/video0, but it is NOT even read when flash sites search for it. Is there a fix for this? google does not have anything about this. I am using firefox-3.5 [19:40] januszeal: but what erUSUL said is nicer ;) [19:40] After a nice holiday weekend my notebook has decided to give me fits. When I boot it is up it just sits at the Grub menu until i pick something. Worked fine all weekend. Anyone have a clue as to what might be up? [19:41] DasEi: ok... I decided to just reboot it and now its showing up correctly [19:41] lstarnes ? [19:41] lstarnes: Ubuntu Pastebin [19:41] it's the same i think , i need what networking and dnsmasq load after all when wifi is up . if i logon in console out of x and restart manually work ok [19:41] erUSUL: thank you [19:41] jtaji: and thank you [19:41] yeason: post christmas wonder ;-) [19:41] zer0_mood: those aren't that hard to set up [19:42] ok so i should look on the forums or better on the tor page ? [19:42] llutz, this is what my PS1 looks like, it includes the string you said: [ \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ] [19:42] it's the same i think , i need what networking and dnsmasq load after all when wifi is up . if i logon in console out of x and restart manually work ok or restart again [19:42] DasEi: lol, I'm not celebrating yet... once its actually installed and booted I'll celebrate [19:42] yeason: so verify with fdisk -l again, than take installers option whole disk [19:42] zer0_mood: if tor is runing, all you need to do is go into firefox's proxy settings and set it to use a socks4a or socks5 proxy with IP 127.0.0.1 and port 90750 [19:42] zer0_mood: oops, 9050 [19:42] DasEi: way ahead of you [19:42] yeason: *then [19:42] hey guys how can i reload grub from my external usb?

[19:47] lstarnes: I now have libsigc++. What do I do about libgtkmm? [19:47] Yanick_ define not playing fine [19:47] mcce11: sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a libgtkmm-2.4-dev [19:47] eddym: uses dd amongst others, so not sure about a partial restore from that image [19:47] DasEi, ok let me know how....to [19:47] Richard_Simmons, Windows plays it like it's intended. Ubuntu = blank screen [19:47] :D [19:47] Yanick_: does it play any DVD's ? [19:47] Yanick_ do you have restricted extras installed? [19:48] DasEi, how do i do dd [19:48] What app can I use to sync music with a new iPod nano? I wish to move playlists along with songs. [19:48] eddym: you said you could boot from the hd ?

I still have no connections. [21:04] elops: the only once '#' not twice '##' commented lines in your menu.lst are options that are used by update-grub when creating your kernel lines [21:04] diyer1: see if you have dhcpcd or dhclient installed [21:04] hey guys. if i do apt-get install postfix from a script, it pops up with an interactive menu asking for configuration details (Internet Site, etc.) is there any way to specify to the install command that i want it to select the defaults?

I'm tryin to connect to my wireless network, but ubuntu can't seem to make the connection [21:05] yofel: i dont understand the comment-thing; do i uncomment that line, or does it use it when regenerating the file?

[21:05] blakkheim: I have not installed any thing that was not in the Ubuntu live CD. How can i find out if this is installed? [21:06] diyer1: sudo aptitude show dhclient ; sudo aptitude show dhcpcd [21:06] diyer1: i am pretty sure dhcpcd is installed by default though :/ [21:06] elops: just leave them as comments and edit them how you need [21:06] arash: here alsa is Version: 1.0.20+dfsg-1ubuntu5 [21:06] another thing i find strange - it updated the kernel, but it has the same version number - or did it not update the kernel?

[21:07] im having issues burng an avchd with k3b. ive read tuts that use imgburn that say to select UDF 2.50, k3b only has UDF. i tried that and it didnt play [21:07] arash: thats what I have on 9.10 [21:08] guntbert: Ok, thank you very much :) === slam is now known as Guest38781 === Pyro_ is now known as Pyrophelia [21:08] arash: you're welcome :-) [21:08] how i can run "eve online" with ubuntu 9.1 [21:08] I need help with setting up file sharing between two pc's with ubuntu === Guest38781 is now known as grndslm [21:09] init2winit77, I can help you! What do you want to use NFS ?? [21:09] i have tried winetricks, copying files from windows, crossover games....... [21:09] blakkheim: It was unable to locate ether of them. [21:09] I have another problem but I do not really expect a solution. I have a nvidia graphics card and I have it connected to my TV which has a resolution of 1308 * 768 and is an LCD display. When I try to configure it on Nvidia X server settings it only gives me the option to have a max resolution of 1024*768. I have tried configuring my xorg.conf file but have had no luck, how can I adjust the resolution of my TV to be the max allowed.

[21:09] init2winit77, No Problem [21:09] i tried using a how to for sshfs [21:09] diyer1: whereis dhcpcd ; whereis dhclient [21:10] I'm super tired my grammar is pretty awful [21:10] init2winit77: sshfs is rather easy to get going. a bit slower then nfs.. but easy to get going [21:10] init2winit77, Ok, simple enough. What's the issue then? [21:10] blakkheim, when i try to "killall apache" it tells me no process kiled [21:10] elops: aaah, ok, then you won't find a new kernel in your menu.lst since the 2.6.24-23 image will be replaced with the new one [21:10] alexnet: what's the output of ps aux | grep apache [21:10] init2winit77, Can you give me a link to the tutorial you're following so that I can follow along? [21:11] xchat [21:11] there is only one vmlinux; i think it overwrote the old one [21:11] hello [21:11] no, its dated older [21:11] blakkheim the output of ps aux | grep apache: http://paste.ubuntu.com/348300/ [21:11] only the initrd.img-2.6.24-23-generic was altered today [21:11] Hi... how can I setup surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I have sound from the front left and right speakers but nothing else. Under Windows the Realtek utility reports it to be ALC660... any ideas? [21:11] only the initrd.img-2.6.24-23-generic was altered today [21:11] there is a .bak also - guess that was the old one [21:11] the two pc's dont seem to be " seeing" each other. I have eithernet cables ran to a hub and I believe that all the ssh and open ssh server is installed === fen[cafeteria] is now known as fengor [21:12] when does support for karmic end? [21:12] alexnet: it would be best to properly stop the service (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop) but if you must kill it then run "sudo killall -9 apache2" [21:12] elops: iirc the vmlinux should be dated when the kernel was built on the ubuntu build-daemons, the initrd is generated on your machie and so should be very recent [21:12] pahrumpian06, October 2010 I believe [21:12] init2winit77, Please begin your statements with my name like how I am doing for you. [21:12] how do i start svnserve from boot? should i use upstart for that or initd? [21:12] init2winit77, Can they ping one another? [21:12] thx luisgmarine :-) [21:12] pahrumpian06: LuisGMarine April 2011 I belive [21:12] blakkheim, i experience periodic power outages here.. and after each outage apache will not restart (due to ssl, i guess) and has something stuck blocking port 80... i may need to make a script to generically kill whatever apache process is running [21:12] initd [21:13] lets google it then [21:13] lol [21:13] pahrumpian06: LuisGMarine or May 2011 [21:13] thx all ! [21:13] that works [21:13] pahrumpian06: LuisGMarine 18 months of support it has and it was released in October [21:13] anyhow, can someone give me some pointers on why I can't connect to my wireless network? [21:13] blakkheim, ah thank you! that worked, its asking me for my SSL key now, which is good [21:13] edbian, sorry this is my first time on here and new to ubuntu. How do I do a ping test? [21:13] alexnet: good good [21:13] I've tried setting a static ip and everything, but ubuntu can't make the connection [21:14] i guss its ok then [21:14] let me restart it and try [21:14] yofel :PPP [21:14] alexnet: might want to look into a UPS? [21:14] blakkheim, do you think i just need to run that command in these circumstances?(the killall) or is it likely stuck because ive misconfigured it somewhere [21:14] elops: yeah, should be ok [21:14] init2winit77, Are you familiar with ip addresses?? [21:14] blakkheim: It found it and showed me a directory listing. [21:14] blakkheim, that could be a good idea ;) [21:14] init2winit77, open a terminal (it's no issue that you're new. Everyone was new at one time). [21:14] alexnet: i'm not an apache guru, i think there's an #apache channel that would offer more help [21:14] diyer1: what did it say [21:14] LuisGMarine-> you are not able to connect to your AP? from an ubuntu on a laptop? [21:14] okay, i'll check it out! thanks again blakkheim [21:15] blakkheim: dhclient: /sbin/dhclient /usr/share/man/man8/dhclient.8.gz [21:15] diyer1: then sudo dhclient eth0 should work [21:15] edbian, yes I have did ifconfig on both pc's and wrote down IP's [21:15] diyer1: with the cable plugged in, of course [21:15] blakkheim: alexnet its #httpd [21:16] thanks everyone. great day to all :-) [21:16] edbian, terminal opened [21:16] init2winit77, Excellent, then from each PC you should be able to ping the other (this tests if the network is set up correctly) The command is simply "ping " as in "ping 192.168.1.1" [21:16] blakkheim: ok I will try. the cable is directly into my router. [21:16] Hi, does anyone know any video converter for linux that changes screen resolution? [21:16] Or how I could do it with mencoder? [21:16] can I reinstall grub from win7 without a livecd?

[21:21] diyer1: "some stuff"? [21:23] init2winit77, So the PC's are connected and can talk to each other. That's a lot of packet loss but we won't worry a bout that right now.

That was confusing me as well after I re-read it. Anyways, can you ssh into the server from the client? Do you know how? [21:26] LuisGMarine: I just fixed mine by downgrading from WPA to WEP [21:26] Hi,...

[21:27] !helpme | newubunx [21:27] newubunx: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[21:30] user124234: that might have something to do with it, but probably not [21:30] sebsebseb: currently I am more concerned with Ubuntu's installation manager wiping out my windows files than vice versa [21:30] user124234: as for more control, gparted on the Live CD [21:30] user124234: the manual install in the installer is limiting [21:30] Hi, how can I get a list of packages that contain a certain string on command line?

[21:34] blakkheim: I'm not sure. It is D-link if that helps. [21:34] hi guys i need help about conky! [21:34] redouane: also you need to make sure you burn the contents of the ISO to CD, not the ISO itself to CD, which is I think what iceroot is getting at [21:34] hi guys i need help about conky! [21:34] HELP! I can't install ubuntu! it says "unable to find a medium containing a file system" when botting from installer CD! :( [21:34] sebsebseb: correct :) [21:34] reduz7home: Have you still got the ISO?

I'll show you how to use names later if you want but it complicates things right now [21:35] init2winit77, Also: can you give me a link to the how to you're following? [21:36] blakkheim: Ok.

[21:37] init2winit77, I'm back! sorry bout that [21:37] hello people [21:37] reduz7home: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10 and in that list of files is the file with the codes [21:37] how do i add folder to .tar in command line? [21:37] edbian, http://www.ajatus.in/2009/10/networking-ubuntu-pcs-with-sshfs/ [21:37] reduz7home: there's also a pysical CD check that can be done on the CD, well if the CD is booting up enough on the computer === tj_ is now known as tj83 [21:38] wizardslovak: i cheat and use 'mc' its a cli file manager that can access archives as if they weere directories. ;) just select the archive, and copy the thing into it,.. (yes i am lazy) [21:38] init2winit77, Can you ssh into the server? [21:38] hi all, im having difficulties with songbird and ipod syncing..can anyone help me? [21:38] hello, i have problem with akregato rss reader, I use ubuntu 9.04 and there is crash information - http://pastebin.com/m2a2e2540 i cant start akreagator [21:38] wizardslovak: I don't know myself - but look into man tar - that should give you the correct syntax [21:38] wizardslovak: tar Af file.tar new-folder [21:38] i dont cheat ;) [21:38] ok iceroot dont get angry i can speak english soso.First i have installed conky and i have configured my conkyrc file but when i clicked on the my desktop or desktop icons,conky lost on desktop [21:38] the problem is ipv6 [21:38] sebsebseb, MD5 hash is correct and it's the second CD i burned, from 2 different computers [21:38] lstarnes: tar --help ;) [21:39] okan_: start if from terminal and paste the output === droid is now known as Guest13555 [21:39] wizardslovak: time to read the tar man pages i guess.. [21:39] micromachstick, why didn't you use rhythmbox? [21:39] reduz7home: ok it could be the computer itself, for some reason it doesn't like Ubuntu. how much RAM does it have etc? [21:39] reduz7home: and on the cd there is not aa single file called *.iso? [21:39] sebsebseb, it's a pretty modern computer (2gb ram, dual core, etc) , actually, 8.10 installer loads fine [21:39] how can i, being root on the 9.10 system, set a new password for a users' gnome-keyring, when the old password is lost? [21:39] sebsebseb, it's 9.10 that fails [21:40] reduz7home: oh right ever done 9.04? [21:40] mka: i can use rhyhtmbox also actually..im not having an issue with the program itself per se... [21:40] how to fix this [21:40] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/t/tremulous-data/tremulous-data_1.1.0-2_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch [21:40] xig: don't work as rooŧ [21:40] in terminal everything is normal but:okan@AsusX61S:~$ conky [21:40] Conky: forked to background, pid is 18208 [21:40] okan@AsusX61S:~$ [21:40] Conky: desktop window (1e000b9) is subwindow of root window (13c) [21:40] Conky: window type - desktop [21:40] okan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:40] swoody: you might want to try sudo apt-get update [21:40] sebsebseb, no.. the installer shows the ubuntu screen fne when booting from the CD, but when i choose "install" it dies with that error message [21:40] micromachstick, so, you have an issue with what, then? [21:41] i cant fetch datas - Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/t/tremulous-data/tremulous-data_1.1.0-2_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch [21:41] xig: then I misinterpreted "being root on the 9.10 system" [21:41] reduz7home: ,but that same CD worked no problem on two other computers? [21:41] lstarnes, oh? [21:41] sebsebseb, the CD works fine on other computers, and 8.10 works fine on this computer [21:41] swoody: sorry, my tab completion failed again [21:41] sebsebseb, so i think it's a 9.10 bug [21:41] sixtila: try running sudo apt-get update first [21:41] lstarnes, :) [21:41] mka: well ive tried using someone else's ipod and it works perfectly..but when i use mine, it allows me to sync to it perfectly but then when i try and listen to it, it only plays the first few seconds repeatedly..but i know the ipods not faulty because ive used it with itunes previously with success [21:41] reduz7home: it might be, and 9.04 is a good release :) [21:41] someone can help me with akregator rss reader, they cant start hi crash there is crashr eport - http://paste.ubuntu.com/348308/ [21:42] xig: but I'm sorry - I have no answer for your original question :-( [21:42] sebsebseb, it's good except pulseaudio stopped working forever on it, so i want to do a clean install [21:42] edbian, It is getting to the point of entering the host pc password. then displays some general pc info and last login time. but how do i access files [21:42] reduz7home: 8.10 you mean or? [21:42] ok i got it.i am new on IRC sory... [21:42] sebsebseb, 9.04 worked fine until pulseaudio died to never ever come back [21:42] lstarnes it ignores security package ? http://pastebin.ca/1729926 [21:42] reduz7home: oh [21:42] micromachstick, ok maybe you removed it while the transfer was not 100% complete [21:43] init2winit77, O this is very good. You have everything set up correctly! :) to access the files you have 2 options. The easiest is to use the connect to server in the places menu of your gnome panel :) [21:43] sebsebseb, already asked for support and no one seemed to have a clue wht it may have been, filed a bug and talked to ubuntu devs but there was simply no way to get it back to work, so i installed OSS4 which worked fine [21:43] mka: nono i definitely tried it enough times under different circumstances with patience that i dont think thats true..ive been working on this for days.. i was wondering if perhaps since this ipod is the very latest model if it hasnt been made to work with ubuntu yet or something? [21:43] init2winit77, do you see what I'm talking about? [21:43] Does anyone here have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that CAME with Ubuntu 8.10 or later on it? I'd like to get a copy of the recovery disc that unit can create and pay you for your services. [21:43] pls help! i have forgotten my gnome-keyring unlock password. how can i recover it? i am running ubuntu 9.10 [21:43] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/t/tremulous-data/tremulous-data_1.1.0-2_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch [21:43] edbian, ok. what values do i enter in === Adam is now known as Guest66602 [21:44] reduz7home: maybe you should just run 8.10 on there for now, and then do a clean install of Ubuntu with 10.04 after it's been released in the end of April. 8.10 runs out of support around the time 10.04 comes out. [21:44] init2winit77, Which ones are you unsure of? [21:44] why do i get the error? [21:44] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/t/tremulous-data/tremulous-data_1.1.0-2_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch [21:44] edbian , yes I have it opened [21:44] ok iceroot i pasted output [21:44] sixtila: please stop repeating. We have seen it already [21:44] sebsebseb, so i don't want to install 9.04 as it seems to be bugged too.. i was hoping 9.10 would work better but now the installer seems to not work [21:44] init2winit77, I'm not on an ubuntu computer right now. I don't remember what it asks for. [21:44] micromachstick, are you saying any song you put into it becomes truncated? [21:44] what's a good tool to visualize folders? [21:44] in detail? [21:45] sixtila: that error is being caused by the expected hash from the file index being different from the actual hash of the file [21:45] dath: nautilus? [21:45] hi all .. anyone get dvdfab to work in wine ? i donwnloaded the free version and the pro version and both aren't working [21:45] dath: gdmap [21:45] mka: trauncated? um im not sure what that means, but ive tried different audio file types..and many different songs and they all do the same thing..plays the first four seconds of the song over and over...but this is only happening with this ipod [21:45] lstarnes can it be fixed? [21:45] dath: baobab as well [21:45] init2winit77, Just make sure you set it to ssh in the drop down menu [21:45] mka: and it's doing the same thing regardless of whether i sync it with rhyhtmbox, songbird or gtkpod [21:45] edbian, service type(pull down menu) server: port: folder: bookmark [21:45] !paste | okan_ [21:45] okan_: 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 [21:45] i cant download several files due to several reason [21:45] sixtila: not by you [21:46] sixtila: the repository's managers must fix it [21:46] ok i got it [21:46] edbian, Do i do this on just one PC or both? [21:46] u mean there is no fix for it? [21:46] sixtila: but you can choose another server [21:46] init2winit77, server: your server's ip (from before) port: leave it blank or 22 folder: leave it blank [21:46] sixtila: yes and no [21:46] sixtila: you can't fix it [21:46] are there any burning apps that support UDF 2.50 natively [21:46] this is confusing! how do i select another server then [21:46] sixtila: but the repositories' managers can [21:46] init2winit77, You do this on the client. This little dialog connects to a server of some kind. We're using it to connect to an ssh server. [21:47] How can I setup surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I have sound from the front left and right speakers but nothing else. Under Windows the Realtek utility reports it to be ALC660... any ideas? [21:47] Is there something which can customize a linux install so that it contains the minimum packages to run a given set of apps with a given set of services? [21:47] sixtila: there's an option in system > administration > software sources [21:47] init2winit77, It will let you go through the entire filesystem on the server from the client [21:47] !mini | Akiraa [21:47] Akiraa: 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 [21:47] Akiraa, opensuse has something like that I think [21:47] lstarnes yes [21:47] init2winit77, Do you understand? [21:47] micromachstick, can you copy a song from your ipod back to your pc and play it with your pc and see if it only play for a few seconds? If it does not then your songs are, in some way, truncated (ie erroneously cut and incomplete) [21:48] sixtila: you can also edit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:48] I was thinking open suse had some feature where you could use their web site and build an iso with whatever packages you selected.. sort of a neat idea [21:48] hi [21:48] Akiraa: ubuntu netinstall has something like that [21:48] wierd my gnome seems to forget settings when I'm actually logged in [21:48] mka: oh yeah using Rhyhtmbox ive been able to do exactly that and it works fine..as ive said ive taken these same songs onto another ipod and they work perfectly fine [21:48] Akiraa: or called ubuntu minimal install. dont know [21:48] hello, i have problem with akregator rss reader, but I use ubuntu, when I start it they crash and there is chrash report - http://paste.ubuntu.com/348308/ [21:48] lstarnes u need to see the file? [21:48] sixtila: no [21:49] lstarnes what can i add in it [21:49] edbian, is the PW that it asks for the one to the server PC or PW of the pc im on? [21:49] micromachstick, the problem is with your ipod then, not ubuntu [21:49] sixtila: edit the existing lines and change the servers to the servers that you want to use [21:49] init2winit77, the user and the password refer to some user on the server [21:49] sixtila: the software sources application automatically edits that [21:50] lstarnes ok, but where do i get the new server locations? [21:50] mka: :( well i know the ipod works with windows..so its not completely broken..is there an mp3 player that specifically works well with ubuntu that i should consider investing in instead? [21:50] lstarnes esp security? [21:50] micromachstick, just being curious and offline, why do you people choose to use ipods over cellphones? [21:50] blackheim, iceroot: thanks [21:50] sixtila: there's a list online somewhere [21:50] I am running fluxbox on top of ubuntu server 9.10. /usr/lib/X11 is empty though. what package am I missing? [21:50] lstarnes cool i will search [21:50] sixtila: and the software sources app has the list in it [21:50] somebody can help me with agregator rss reader? [21:50] mka: well i have a cell phone too actually. which has some music on it but the sound quality is pretty terrible since its a cheap phone [21:51] edbian, ok I now have a new folder that shows the entire user files from the server pc. sweeet!! [21:51] pada u kogo śnieg?:D [21:51] init2winit77, Exactly! Helpful? [21:51] micromachstick, oh?, I thought sound quality is dictated by the quality of earphones. [21:52] edbian, yes very helpful! Thank you. [21:52] init2winit77, There is a way to make that folder show up everytime automatically. Do you want that? [21:52] lstarnes: I think that is one case where gui is definetly easier then cli - sixtila in the gui its rather easy to select another server - shall I show you? [21:52] Does anyone here have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that CAME with Ubuntu 8.10 or later on it? I'd like to get a copy of the recovery disc that unit can create and pay you for your services. [21:52] micromachstick, anyway back to the point, if the songs you transfered with windows works and the ones with ubuntu are truncated then I see a serious problem [21:52] How can I setup surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I have sound from the front left and right speakers but nothing else. Under Windows the Realtek utility reports it to be ALC660... any ideas? [21:52] edbian, Yes that would be of use [21:53] gnutbert yes, but i have only few options like main server, US, check, [21:53] sixtila: and then there is other... [21:53] init2winit77, You need to add an entry to a file called fstab. It's located in /etc and you need to be root to edit it. "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" should do the trick. gksu opens graphical programs as root, gedit is a text editer, /etc/fstab is the file. [21:53] what's the easiest way of erasing an rw disk? [21:53] I am running fluxbox on top of ubuntu server 9.10. /usr/lib/X11 is empty though. what package am I missing? [21:53] oh ya, guntbert [21:53] micromachstick, one thing I know is that windows synchronously writes to the external drive (even internal ones) where as linux buffers disk writes [21:53] mka: well i dont know if its relevant or not, but mentally i cant get past the fact that the older ipod works perfectly with ubuntu..but the brand new one has been such an irritation. [21:54] hey im looking for an alternative to synergyc for desktop keyboard/mice sharing.. I heard there was a new lat but I cant remember it. Anyone know of it? [21:54] guntbert gotcha [21:54] thanks [21:54] *alt [21:54] micromachstick, this means that if you remove the ipod too soon, this might explain the problem [21:54] edbian, init2winit77: Use "Bookmarks" option would be easier in "Connect To Server", I believe. [21:54] init2winit77, Here is a helpful guide for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab for misc questions [21:54] mka: remove the ipod? meaning what exactly? [21:54] sixtila: have fun :-) - you *can* let the system choose a "best server" for you [21:54] kinja-sheep, I've never used them [21:55] micromachstick, "ejecting" it from the player like rhythmbox [21:55] init2winit77, kinja-sheep It's up to you init2winit77 which method would you like to use? (I can't help with the bookmarks) [21:55] guntbert i have already chose more than 3 servers and all have the same problem - u sure this is not another problem(deeper) [21:55] mka: I've generally ejected it each time ive tried to sync it..isnt that just part of the process really? [21:56] here http://imagebin.org/77304 [21:56] micromachstick, I just transfered files to my friend's old ipod with rhythmbox with no prob yesterday [21:56] sixtila: no - I'm not at all sure about that - but I got no idea how to tackle that - sorry [21:56] okan_: that may be the ugliest theme I've ever seen. [21:57] :D [21:57] mka: well ive gotten my brothers 8GB filled up with rhyhtmbox today myself lol...but its the new one that seems to dislike ubuntu.. [21:57] ok, np [21:57] micromachstick, and I didn't even wait too long before I ejected the ipod. [21:57] thanks invisime [21:57] i had the same problem with debian also! this is worrying! [21:57] how do I get the password of a user? [21:58] edbian, init2winit77: If you have successfully use "Connect To Server", remember what you wrote in. Again, this time, tick on "Bookmarks" and give it a Folder Name. (computer name are suggested). It's good idea to sshfs and mount in when you want to, not just permanent in case IP changed. [21:58] TylerPlack, define get? you can typically only reset a password as the hashing algorithm is one directional [21:58] micromachstick, check on the net if ever your specific ipod model has any known issues [21:58] mka: i assure you i didnt go ripping the cord out halfway through the sync..lol [21:58] micromachstick, hahahah [21:58] frostburn: how do I reset a password (cmdline) [21:58] iceroot are you there? [21:58] TylerPlack, sudo passwd usernamehere [21:59] hi, what do I have to do to be able to send emails to other machines, using the mail program? [21:59] mka: i havent heard anybody else talk about problems with this classic model and ubuntu..and as i said, i got it to work with itunes on windows previously..so it really makes me think that perhaps apple has done something with this model to screw with it? but then, i wouldnt be the only one having issues i suppose [21:59] TylerPlack: You can't. It is a security measures taking in place between the administrator and the user. You only can create a new password. (But then again, the user would know you accessed in and snooped). :) [21:59] kinja-sheep, how does using the name help when the ip changes? the hosts file will be wrong right? [22:00] micromachstick, anyway it MUST work with iTunes on windows/macintosh [22:00] edbian: I'm sorry. I joined late in the conversation. What do you mean by the hosts file? [22:00] edbian, I have the etc/fstab open now [22:00] mka: yeah it does work..but i dont have access to anything other then ubuntu currently..so i think i might have quite a pickle on my hands [22:00] kinja-sheep, Referring to what you just said about "computer names are preferred in case the ip changes" [22:01] okan_: use pastebin and give me the link, or better, give the link to the channel [22:01] init2winit77, You need to add a new line to the end of it. In that link I gave there is an example for an ssh fs [22:01] what would the bash syntax be for starting evolution directly to a compose window or directly to a particular email account's inbox? [22:01] http://imagebin.org/77304 [22:01] micromachstick: sorry to butt in...the newer models of ipod are a bit annoying. I have a new shuffle that just won't work, down to a different db or something. [22:01] does anyone know what package I need to add to generate my .Xresources file? [22:01] hi [22:01] urthmover: evolution --help [22:01] urthmover: or man evolution [22:01] ok I'll check there iceroot [22:02] thanks iceroot [22:02] mariajulia15@live,com,ar [22:02] micromachstick: you can check the latest development of libgpod to see what models are supported or not. === malnilion is now known as malnilion_ [22:02] init2winit77, Do you see it? It's about 1/2 way down. When you have the line how you think it needs to be copy / paste it here and I'll double check it? [22:02] edbian, I think using host names helps because you don't have to memorise changing ip addresses [22:02] edbian: I mean don't use fstab to access the computer in the another room. Creating a bookmark is nice -- that way, you can mount and access only when needed instead of forever. [22:02] maria: not here please [22:02] londonali1010: ahh I shall try that..if that doesnt work, is there a speicfic mp3 player other then ipod that works better with ubuntu? [22:02] urthmover, man evolution then search for -c /-c [22:02] kinja-sheep, OIC! :) [22:02] invisime, why do you want to do that? === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [22:03] iceroot,do you want picture link or else? picture link:http://imagebin.org/77304 [22:03] mka, I don't understand. If you use the hostname then you add that hostname to your hosts file correct? When the ip changes you still have to edit the host file or it won't work. === malnilion is now known as malnilion__ [22:03] ok I've read those wifi troubleshooting guides and everything, I still can't connect to my wireless network [22:03] mka: because I don't seem to have one currently and I wish to edit it so that I can make rxvt pseudo-transparent. [22:03] edbian, no [22:03] are there any burning apps that support UDF 2.50 natively [22:03] micromachstick: unfortunately I don't know! I've only got an old 30GB iPod, which works fine, and for the shuffle I just left it on a shelf until I got a dual-boot Win7 machine :S === malnilion__ is now known as malnilion [22:03] mka, Please explain where I went wrong? [22:03] mka: I'm running fluxbox on top of ubuntu server. [22:04] edbian, you map the hostname to 127.0.0.1 [22:04] okan_: a normal text-paste [22:04] !paste | okan_ [22:04] okan_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [22:04] edbian, sorry Im not sure what Im looking for in that link [22:04] edbian: The same thing goes for your servers. You don't want to keep-alive your connection all times. :) Also, you can use avahi-daemon or samba to ssh in your machines by hostnames. Eliminate the works of finding out what machine's IP is (in order to ssh in). [22:05] edbian, things make difference when accessing machine from another one [22:05] hamster-applet is used to time management in gnome, but when you install it how do you execute it? [22:05] mka, but if I want to use the hostname to specify an ssh server then on some client I need to make an entry in the hosts file on that client: " " [22:05] Hey I'm paying someone to ssh into my server and do some work is there any program I can install to log everything they type? or record all their activities in another way? Just want to be able to go back and see what they did if necessary. Its ubuntu-server so command line only. [22:05] init2winit77, it's the very last thing in the grey boxes under the title "Examples" [22:05] init2winit77, The line starts #SSHFS [22:05] edbian, if the IP of the destination maching changes, the hostname is sticks to it, there is something like dhclient that is responsible for this === mswl is now known as aafuentes [22:06] init2winit77, sshfs#username... [22:06] what files does X save in home related to startup? [22:06] i think no problem in terminal.Here http://paste.ubuntu.com/348311/ [22:06] How can I setup surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I have sound from the front left and right speakers but nothing else. Under Windows the Realtek utility reports it to be ALC660... any ideas? [22:06] londonali1010: it appears they dont support the latest ipod classic..this could definitely have been my problem..lol [22:06] I am getting no wm or desktop manager at startup because of something in my home directory [22:06] mka, Does dhclient tell all of the machines on the network? How do all of the machines keep the hostnames matched to the correct IPs ?? [22:06] edbian, I know about that, that is just an ALIAS you can write what ever you want [22:07] mka, Could you rephrase that it doesn't make sense [22:07] wolter: The X server doesn't save anything in your /home directory. Your hnome-session might be corrupted. [22:07] micromachstick: yeah, that'll be it! Bad luck :( [22:07] wolter: gnome-session ... [22:07] minimec, do you know of a file i might erase or move to see if it fixes my problem? [22:08] Open question to the channel: How can I implement hostnames on my LAN without manually editing the host files of every client on the network? [22:08] edbian: If you made "127.0.0.1 facebook.com" -- When you access facebook.com, it'll say error 404 (or redirect to your /var/www). === No`_ is now known as No` [22:08] came0, you should be able to dd the terminal session to a log file, or syslog [22:08] help me [22:08] kinja-sheep, I get that. But if I made "192.168.1.100 turing" and I had a computer there it would work how I wanted if I say "ping turing" [22:09] frostburn: but how can I set SSH to always dd to a file? [22:09] londonali1010: ah darn it! well..what's the likelihood of it being updated in the future? if im sticking with ubuntu..do i want to try and sell this ipod for an older model that will work? or take some other course of action? [22:09] edbian, if I am the maching and you know my IP as 196.2.12.1 for example but my hostname as "mka". next time it changes to 196.0.0.1 my dhclient will tell my dhcp server about this change and it will map it to "mka". you will always call me "mka" without bothering about what my address is [22:09] wolter: The folders related to gnome are .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd. I would start to rename .gnome and .gnome2 --> .gnome-old .gnome2-old [22:09] edbian: The open answer to your open question -- Use samba or avahi-daemon. [22:09] kinja-sheep, ha ha, thank you [22:09] ok minimec, will do [22:09] hey guys I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 i have tried disabling ipv6, wep, and still Ubuntu can't connect [22:10] anybody here use hamster-applet? [22:10] edbian, kinja-sheep, what would the benefit be to using bookmark feature [22:10] edbian: use a router with DHCP ? [22:10] wolter: You might also have a dbus problem --> .dbus .dbus-old [22:10] init2winit77, It allows you to connect to the server quickly without automatically connected everytime the system boots [22:10] edbian: If you installed samba, you could just "ping " -- That will be it. With avahi-daemon, you use "ping .local" [22:10] edbian, I am not seeing sshfs or anything close to that in the link you sent [22:10] micromachstick: You can always join the dev team, there's a way to submit your database info if you can get it working on another machine. As with all things, it will only be a matter of time before it's supported, but no way to tell how long! [22:10] how do i get the cube on ubunutu? [22:10] brontosaurusrexw, Yes [22:10] came0, not sure, never done it before, i'm sure you could set up their shell environment to copy their commands to a file and then return them a shell [22:11] edbian: yes, thats it, should work [22:11] init2winit77, I'm sorry, it's there! I know it's a big page. [22:11] londonali1010: ah well...i guess i'll stick to my 8 gig until then..then you very much for your help! and mka you also [22:11] edbian, the /etc/hosts file is for when you dont want to refer to me as "mka" but as "m". the danger is that when my address changes, you have to update your file otherwise it will point to another random person's machine if the IP is existing [22:11] edbian: try ping -c 3 hostname [22:11] ok minimec don't escape :) [22:11] goingn to relog [22:11] mka, Yeah [22:12] init2winit77: I was making things less hassle for you. You don't want to keep connected with your other computer all times. This way, you'll access and mount when you want to. [22:12] are there any burning apps that support UDF 2.50 natively so i can burn AVCHD? [22:12] Does anyone know if old Imac G3 has wake on lan capabilities? [22:12] kinja-sheep, brontosaurusrexw mka thank you for your help! That makes things much easier! I just have to use .local ! :) or add a packge [22:12] edbian, it sounds like a book mark would be better suited for me. One of the computers is a laptop and the only reason I really want to use file sharing if for the fact that the laptop has SD card slot and the desktop does not :) [22:12] Why on my ubuntu server does a PHP file download instead of view? [22:12] grkblood13, what about k3b or brasero? [22:13] k3b doesnt [22:13] edbian: you on mac? [22:13] init2winit77, Then do that! :) [22:13] PhilSplice, your apache server doesn't have mod-php configured/installed [22:13] havent looked at brasero [22:13] brontosaurusrexw, ha ha ha. No, right now I'm on a laptop with open suse. I also have an ubuntu netbook remix acer aspire one, and a debian desktop [22:13] iceroot [22:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/348311/ [22:13] ok, how do i configure that? [22:14] PhilSplice: #php #apache -- I imagine it will have to do something with your configuration file. [22:14] grkblood13, if k3b can't then brasero can't and if k3b can't I am sorry, it cannot be done [22:14] ok [22:14] thanks [22:14] edbian: nm, but only mac on my lil network requires .local hostnames [22:14] doesnt the kernel have udf 2.50 support? [22:14] brontosaurusrexw: You're using Bonjour. :) [22:14] grkblood13: tried nero? [22:14] grkblood13, by the way how is this specific version of UDF different from the normal UDF? [22:15] edbian, kinja-sheep, thank you for the help and input. You have helped with exactly what I needed! [22:15] b/c 2.5 supports avchd [22:15] kinja-sheep: uhmm, in what way that counts? [22:15] withoput it you cant burn properly [22:15] brontosaurusrexw, grkblood13, nero is not free [22:15] brontosaurusrexw, avahi-daemon implements the mac rendezvous arch [22:15] init2winit77, That's what we're here for! :) [22:15] brontosaurusrexw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Bonjour [22:15] grkblood13, avhcd? what is that? [22:16] brontosaurusrexw: Just read the Overview. [22:16] kinja-sheep, edbian and that makes my ubuntu becomes ubuntu.local ? [22:16] brontosaurusrexw, If you install avahi-daemon [22:16] hello everyone. i want to play a realplayer-file with mplayer. but the w32-codec is not cool. so i installed realplayer. but there is no sound. somwhere i readed, that the codecs from the realplayer can be used with mplayer. where i habe to link the .so-files? [22:17] I never have figured out what avahi was supposed to do... :) [22:17] How can I setup surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I have sound from the front left and right speakers but nothing else. Under Windows the Realtek utility reports it to be ALC660... any ideas? [22:17] edbian: i see [22:17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD [22:17] Nenad-Bgd, bg? [22:17] its for HD dvds [22:17] yeah, i have the entire netatalk thingy installed [22:17] Dr_Willis: >:}~ === TylerPlack is now known as tylerplack [22:17] minimec, hm.. none worked [22:17] eni23, w32codecs is not cool? [22:17] goose! [22:17] you helped me the other day [22:18] help ? :) [22:18] do you knwo of anyway to burn avchds? [22:18] hi people, may you help me ? [22:18] kinja-sheep: i'd die of boredom if i read that ;) [22:18] okan_: #conky or state your issue. I'm just getting into conky last few hours for first time. ;o [22:18] without scping the file to a windows box [22:19] mka: no the rm40c-codec is not working really great. with realplayer the picture seems good, but no sound. so i want to use the rm40 in mplayer? is this possible? [22:19] hey guys im quite new to ubuntu and the online help wasnt clear, i have found an old usb external hardrive and am wanting to boot ubuntu 9.10 from it, but i allready have vista loaded on my laptop, if i set my bios to boot from usb and just put the ubuntu cd into the drive will i beable to install it to my ext hardrive and still manage to run vista at the same time? thanks for the help [22:19] !ask | X-BEAD [22:19] X-BEAD: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:19] thesavagedonkey, yes [22:19] eni23: and vlc says what? [22:19] thesavagedonkey, assuming you can get your computer to boot from an external usb harddrive [22:19] grkblood13, I was not playing with when I said if k3b cannot do it, it is not worth trying brasero. If you have some money in the bank, buy nero for linux. [22:20] thesavagedonkey, if you set your bios to boot from usb you would want to stick in an install usb, not a cd [22:20] hi guys, i'm setting up a second monitor but ubuntu doesn't let me set the resolution of the second monitor to over 1024x768 (max should be 1400x900). any help? [22:20] thesavagedonkey, and yes, you can use vista afterwards [22:20] mka: there is a trial of nero for linux [22:20] thesavagedonkey, ubuntu detects it and gives you the option to start in vista instead of ubuntu everytime you turn on your computer [22:20] brontosaurusrexw: only plays the sound. mplayer works but not cool and gmplayer only sound [22:20] how do i choose a certain file to downlaod form a directory using rsync? [22:20] imgburn does it for free :( [22:20] wolter, i meant after i had installed ubuntu to my hardrive [22:20] brontosaurusrexw, i rest my case [22:20] !rsync | gui7 [22:20] gui7: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [22:20] haha 4:20 [22:21] eni23, tried VLC? [22:21] thanks kinja-sheep [22:21] gui7: For a single file / or directory -- You want to use scp, I think. rsync just check and sync multiple things. [22:21]  mka: yeah only sound no picture [22:21] eni23: i use an app (cmd) called mediainfo, should be in repos [22:22] so do something like; mediainfo file.rm and post that to pastebin [22:22] thesavagedonkey, so you have ubuntu in your external drive, and vista in the internal one? ubuntu is already installed, right? [22:22] kinja-sheep, what i'm tyring to do is download an .iso from the site of a linux distro.... they've got rsync addresses: "rsync ftp.belnet.be::packages/distro/ [22:22] kinja-sheep, except i've got to choose the specific file i want from that directory [22:23] not yet , im just formatting the hardrive this second,then once its done i plan on installing ubuntu to it , and the booting from it to keep it seperate from vista [22:23] edbian: You may find this interesting -- You can create a configuration file in ~/.ssh/config -- Your username, SSH address, port, and SSH-related configuration. [22:23] hi guys. is it possible to mess gstreamer video chain that would cause any gstreamer-dependent video player to show the movies in black/white colours ? [22:23] mka: i didnt mean no harm [22:23] kinja-sheep, do you get the option to select "Digital Mic" in gnome-volume-control ? [22:23] (if in karmic) [22:23] brontosaurusrexw: not necesary, the video-codec is RM-40 and audio it's cook [22:23] (or jaunty) [22:23] it also has a sync:\\ link - how do i download it? [22:23] brontosaurusrexw, I understand [22:23] kinja-sheep, I never knew that! seems redundant though... [22:23] wolter: Did you get my messages... My chat hangs from time to time... [22:24] which messages? [22:24] wolter: Like that you can test if your problem is system or user related. [22:24] brontosaurusrexw: and there is no prog called mediainfo in the repo (8.04) [22:24] wolter: try to add a test user like 'sudo adduser test' and login as user test... [22:24] edbian: I "ssh earth" and it knew what which username because of the said file. [22:24] torusman: your name also gets highlighted in gold [22:24] eni23, cook codec? [22:24] lololololol [22:24] oh yeah, minimec_, I did already. Its user related. Home dir related (i change my home dir to see, and it worked) [22:24] kinja-sheep, ha ha. earth? Are your computers all planets? I like that sceme [22:24] eni23: ok, google mediainfo then [22:25] wolter: I don't see anything "Digital Mic" -- Got bunch of "Microphone 1" "Microphone 2" [22:25] kinja-sheep, yeah me too... thes gnome guys messed up the old option of "digital mic" that fixed my mic problem [22:25] edbian: That was an example. :) I have leaf, mps, xps, ion. I like to keep my hostnames short and simple. :) [22:26] edbian: Oh and sky, cloud. [22:26] i have installed ubuntu network remix, an each time i boot on gnome, i'm asked for the password for the internet wifi, how to change this behaviour ? [22:28] hi [22:28] will version 10.04 really support full-disk encryption? [22:28] wolter: Ah I see. [22:28] wolter: I don't have gnome-voice-control installed. [22:28] wolter: What if you renamed the .metacity folder once? [22:28] !hi|timbo_ [22:28] timbo_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [22:28] it's now for 2 years i haven't used linux and want to install now ubuntu [22:29] minimec_, ok [22:29] welcome back timbo_ [22:29] as on my machine linux runs a bit slower than windows, i wanted to know which desktop is snappier with a fast and new nvidia card: [22:29] kde 4 or gnome? === nullvariable1 is now known as nullvariable [22:29] timbo_, gnome of course! [22:29] timbo_: Customized KDE or Gnome. [22:29] i like both, so i ask for the one with the best responsiveness [22:30] hey guys. i have a internal webcam on my laptop. any info on how to get it to work? thanks [22:30] does anyone know how to manually set resolution in karmic? [22:30] !fixres | jimbobso [22:30] my screen is not detectign [22:30] thanks [22:30] jimbobso: 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 [22:30] timbo_, of you mean't snappier? what does this word mean? [22:30] minimec_, i have no metacity folder [22:30] gnome, sure? [22:30] wolter: Getting gnome-voice-control, I'll keep you posted. [22:31] timbo_, gnome is faster than KDE out-of-the-box === ryu2 is now known as ryu [22:31] for me it means how fast it reatc on mouse clicks [22:31] *reacts [22:31] kinja-sheep, hm.. i was unaware of that package,.. I'm going to get it too [22:31] timbo_, GNOME of course [22:32] how fast menus are opened, how fast tabs are changed etc... [22:32] wolter: ok. Basically... If you rename or move all your .folders to somekind of backup folder, you should be able to start a new gnome session. Otherwise I have no idea ;) [22:32] timbo_, we are talking of nanoseconds for that [22:32] minimec_, yeah.. I will do that then [22:32] hi guys, i'm setting up a second monitor but ubuntu doesn't let me set the resolution of the second monitor to over 1024x768 (max should be 1400x900). any help? [22:32] does 64bit have an impact on desktop responsiveness? [22:33] Hey is java already installed in ubuntu 9.10? [22:33] timbo_, do you have a 64bit hardware? [22:33] Is it worth it to install Ubuntu 64-bit instead of 32-bit yet? Does everything work right? What about Flash and Java? [22:33] timbo_ no difference here, except with flashplayer [22:33] yes [22:33] I have 64bit and flash works fine for me. [22:34] Mike941, what about Java? [22:34] mine is slow and choppy [22:34] i ask because 2 years ago i found that the 32bit desktop was faster, im sure it was because of the nvidia driver [22:34] probably lack of memory though [22:34] flash has poor performance in both 64 and 32 versions for me [22:34] so it doesnt matter [22:34] tos, you mean people only fuss about 64bit just for flashplayer? aww come on [22:34] tos, my Flash player is slow and choppy in HD... but I have a very powerful PC. I'm on 32-bit right now. [22:34] I need java for firefox. Is it in ubuntu already? [22:34] Any cups guru's around? got an intresting scenerio [22:34] true, flash isn't that cool on linux too for the moment [22:35] mka, no its the only app i have a problem with that i cant fix [22:35] Mike941: There are sun-java6-jre in the repo if what's what you wanted to know. [22:35] For some reason my flash is almost perfect. idno why it doesn't work that well for you guys. [22:35] hi all what is the diffrene in this .. in my fstab i had it mount my cdrom/dvd as iso9660 and now rw .. i put it as auto and no iso9660 .. any ideas ? [22:35] kinja is that what displays flash stuff in webpages? [22:35] Mike941, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [22:35] Try that. [22:35] kinja-sheep, oh thats a panel applet.. [22:35] i mean java [22:35] im betting its because i have 320mb ram [22:35] :( [22:35] * kinja-sheep is away: Dogpark! [22:36] Sorry. I'll have to turn that off. [22:36] **Is that what displays java web apps?** [22:36] I just went to look at the resolution section and still cannot find a lasting command. can somoen point me in a direction? i need to force scren resolution to 1680x1050 [22:36] brontosaurusrexw: mediainfo is not in the ubuntu repos at all and it take really long to compile. i don't trust this. [22:36] macman_, there is no difference, you rather put is auto because some dvd's are mounted as UDF not as iso9660 [22:36] is it possible that the 32bit nvidia driver offers a better performance than the 64bit version? can anyone compare? [22:36] Mike941, install it. It should fix web applets. [22:36] eni23? arent there some binary stuff on the page? [22:37] brontosaurusrexw, nero supports UDF 2.50 [22:37] good call [22:37] thanks. It will work for 64 bit right? [22:37] what is best for 64bit virtual machines on ubuntu 9.10 [22:37] timbo_, 64bit is always better, I mean it is logical, the number is bigger [22:37] FREE* [22:37] why won't ubuntu compress my files to tar.lzma? I thought it was just going slow since my pc only have 384 ram but I left it on during the night and it still hasn't finished compressing it and the progress bar remains at the same position it started at! HELP!? [22:38] guys, i need a lil help with my nvidia geforce 4 mx video card. i can only get 800x600 resolution [22:38] eni23, do you mean this app? http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/ [22:38] grkblood13, happy, now? [22:38] very :) [22:38] lex, nvidia.com get the non-free drivers [22:38] mka, point is, i had both 32 and 64 bit versions of debian installed and after the installation of the nvidia driver the 32bit debian had a faster GUI [22:38] Mike941, I don't have 64 bit, can't say. [22:38] tos, ok, i will try.. [22:38] lex: did you try system>administration>hardware drivers [22:39] now i can actually back up blurays [22:39] lex_, thats what i did and it gave me 1024x768... same card [22:39] without having a bluray burner [22:39] timbo_, I cannot comment about the software but on the hardware side, 64bit machine is supposed to be faster than 32bit ones [22:40] what is it with flash, are you using firefox? [22:40] what site youtube? [22:40] brontosaurusrexw: http://pastebin.com/m5a39b21b , this is what i said before [22:40] I have a problem, I want to view the backup of a file that I have because I edited the original and moved it to another directory. Is this possible and would it even be back to the point that I wanted it before I did so many edits to it? How would I get it back? [22:41] tos, I'm using Firefox and Flash, both the latest version. [22:41] how much ram [22:41] and flash is faster on 32bit? [22:41] grkblood13, it's just i am stingy, thats why i left windows, i didnt wanted to pay for any software [22:41] 2048MB DDR3 -- Performance Ram; Crucial Ballistix Tracer. [22:41] mka, but no games.. :( [22:41] well, if nero is the only option then nero it is [22:42] sucks though [22:42] tos: neverball rox! [22:42] never played it [22:42] tos: well, its about a ball that .... [22:42] grrrrrrr [22:42] i know that the codec is rm40. i have a codec-file from the real-player-installation (rm40.so) but don't know how to install it [22:42] aliendude5300, thats a lot of ram... problem with the software [22:42] tos: bounces and stuff ;) [22:42] flashplayer... [22:42] hello? [22:42] k3b should support udf 2.5 [22:42] same here... [22:42] make my life easier [22:42] can anyone see me? [22:43] * brontosaurusrexw stares at klip_ [22:43] klip_: i can see you [22:43] grkblood13, believe me it will, it just takes time [22:43] klip_: nope but we can read you ;) [22:43] need help my sansa fuse will not work with linux [22:43] I have a problem, I want to view the backup of a file that I have because I edited the original and moved it to another directory. Is this possible and would it even be back to the point that I wanted it before I did so many edits to it? How would I get it back? [22:43] i tryed everything [22:43] brontosaurusrex, like pong? [22:44] tony_: does it show up as a partition in: sudo fdisk -l ? [22:44] grkblood13, I remember being frustrated back in the days for not being able to write to NTFS filesystems, now everything has changed [22:44] whats the easiest way to set up a mirror for everything on my hd to an ftp... [22:44] Hey is there anyway of not to hide the screenlets when i hide the windows i am using with ctrl+ d [22:44] tos: rsync is good [22:45] cool [22:45] mka: hold on ok [22:46] ? [22:46] tos, this can probably help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [22:46] what does it mean when a person says hold on and he/she quits? [22:47] mka, meens that person wants you to wait for them to come back, they probably had to reboot their computer or something similar [22:47] mka: means they're doing something then logging off [22:47] klip_: so you have an original (edited) file in directory 'x' and a backup file in folder 'y'? What is your problem? [22:47] hhhmmmm???? [22:47] mka, you there ? [22:48] macman_, I am here [22:48] Hi. Has anyone had problems with reccurrent gstreamer errors when trying to read MP3s? I get these randomly, while i have w32codecs and absolutely all the gstreamer plugins installed (Xubuntu 9.10, i686) [22:48] minimec_: how do I get the backup file and how do i go through my history of edits? [22:48] macman_, where have you been? [22:48] uuffff i solved it hahaha thanks anyway [22:48] minimec_: how do I *OPEN* the backup file and how do i go through my history of edits? [22:48] hey guys [22:48] I just installed Xubuntu... [22:48] SiDi: including ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:48] I also installed libdvdcss2 [22:48] But DVD's still won't play [22:49] It tells me I can't open the DVD [22:49] ActionParsnip, ubuntu and xubuntu restricted extras, and nonfree-codecs too [22:49] hi nicholas_ [22:49] tos, how did you install it? it is a package1.run file... [22:49] weird [22:49] nicholas_: ok if you use VLC and have a DVD in and select file -> open disk does it play? [22:49] It just ran [22:49] That was odd [22:49] nicholas_, sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs [22:49] mka, http://www.pastie.org/759373 < -- as you can see there is a diff in my fstab for mounting the cdrom .. the second one dosen't have an iso9660 and a udf .. does that mean i made it so that the protected dvd is unencrypted now ? [22:49] sh *.run [22:49] nicholas_, you need particular packages for playing some encrypted dvds, which cant be legally shipped in all countries. [22:49] SiDi: if you install vlc does it play ok? [22:49] from root [22:49] !medibuntu | nicholas_ [22:49] nicholas_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [22:49] nicholas_, sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs vlc mplayer [22:49] tos, cmd? [22:49] SiDi: why are you using ubuntu-restricted-extras on xubuntu? [22:49] sudo apt-get install yadda yadda.run? [22:49] ActionParsnip, yes. I suspect a bug in gstreamer-plugins-base :/ [22:50] at the root console... [22:50] klip_: I don't know how you backed up you file. In linux there might be the solution to step back one 'edit'. There might be a file with the same name followed with an '~'... [22:50] root# sh *.run [22:50] tos, thanks! [22:50] np [22:50] nightfrog, why not? It just installs a few more codecs :) [22:50] What's the normal location of a sound card? I'm trying to record audio in vlc and I've tried /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp with no luck [22:50] SiDi: if you use banshee or movie player it should offer to install the codec if one is missing [22:50] SiDi: because xubuntu isnt ubuntu === d3c3p710n_ is now known as d3c3p710n [22:50] ActionParsnip, when i try to read such files with totem it just fails to find a codec [22:50] lex, install libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs or go to www.medibuntu.org and install all those from the website [22:51] minimec_: yes I have that file, HOW DO I OPEN IT? [22:51] so what can i do ? [22:51] SiDi: if you have ubuntu installed do not instal xubuntu-restricted-extras it will screw stuff up [22:51] nightcrow, there is no difference between codecs in ubuntu and xubuntu, except the absence of gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio from xubuntu-restricted-extras [22:51] I'm running xubuntu with pulseaudio on this laptop, ActionParsnip [22:52] klip_: on a console, you can open it with nano, if it is a text file. In a gnome session right click on mouse ... [22:52] i just compiled over 4megs of code for mediainfo to run it over a file how i was told to. but no answer after that? [22:52] SiDi: install the good / bad / ugly codec packs [22:52] ActionParsnip, they're all installed, including the multiverse ones... [22:52] macman_, this has nothing to do with encrypted dvd's [22:52] tos, it says it failed [22:52] suggestions? [22:52] macman_, the first one is sufficient [22:53] ActionParsnip, i'm actually convinced i have ALL the codecs present in uni+multiverse + medibuntu. Which is why i'm getting worried about gstreamer complaining [22:53] lex, install the following packages: libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs from this website: http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/index.html [22:53] you need dependencies.. for it it should tell you what it needs [22:53] minimec_: this is the message I get when I right click and "open": "There is no application installed for backup file files" [22:53] gotta use the apt-get install package-it-needs [22:53] macman_, to play the protected dvd's enable the medibuntu repositories and then do a sudo apt-get update' [22:53] tos, it says i am in x, and need to get out of x to do it [22:53] SiDi: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs ogle ogle-gui [22:54] yeah gotta close X first [22:54] klip_: try to open it with gedit. What kind of file is that? [22:54] kill it [22:54] tos, how do i close x, then restart it?

[22:55] nice [22:55] lex_: alt-sysreq-k [22:55] ActionParsnip: whoops didn't realize you were an op [22:55] ActionParsnip, it couldnt find ogle and libxine, they're not in karmic apparently [22:55] klip_: it was all one line, so technically doesnt qualify ;) [22:55] how to sync a camera with Ubuntu? [22:55] klip_: i'm not an op [22:56] klip_: i'm just blackbelt google-fu with my handy sidekick jeeves [22:56] mneptok, sys req is that control? [22:56] ActionParsnip, i was thinking about something. I've got an SRU'd gstreamer package that was pulled due to problems with cdda://, could it be that it fails to use the installed plugins due to different version numbers? [22:56] mneptok, i have a new install, so that key would be default [22:56] xfact, tried f-spot? [22:56] lex_: it probably has "SysRq" printed on it. [22:56] lex_: alt-print screen-k [22:57] i'm having problems with my web cam, it comes up dark most times when i use it but sometimes it will come up normal, weird :( [22:57] hmmm... is flash in the restricted formats? [22:57] LjL, nope, thanks mneptok [22:57] SiDi: possibly, could pull all the gstreamers out then reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras again [22:57] hmmm... archive manager doesn't seem to recgonize rar'd .r01, .r02, etc files - it just extracts the one i select - anyoen knwo how to extract em? [22:57] nickybatts: yes it is [22:57] weird [22:57] it doesn't work :-/ [22:57] Mka: Ubuntu not even detecting my camera hardware....f-spot is later step.... [22:57] nickybatts: did you restart the browser? [22:58] guys, I have a question in C programming language. what's the correct channel to ask it ? [22:58] Yes I believe I did [22:58] ActionParsnip, alright [22:58] For KDE, how do I add an icon with a launcher to my desktop - one that is not in my system menu? [22:58] gui7: i just use the rar or unrar commands or the 'unp' command [22:58] xfact, is your camera supported? [22:58] EricInBNE: you might want to ask in #kubuntu [22:58] Xfact: is there any spacial hardware required for camera sync? [22:58] !rar [22:58] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [22:59] !unrar [22:59] minimec_: thanks that did it [22:59] mneptok, i did. no one is around/answering [22:59] !info unrar-free [22:59] mka, so i should be in business now correct ? [22:59] unrar-free (source: unrar-free): Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20071127-1 (karmic), package size 21 kB, installed size 108 kB [22:59] EricInBNE: sudo apt-get install please_be_patient ;) [22:59] klip_: np [22:59] mka: no the camera not supporting Ubuntu, but it's supporting windows.... [23:00] Dr_Willis: unp ftw :D [23:00] mka, so if i didn't do anything in fstab is there a way to put the dvd into a mode where i can readwrite or something ? [23:00] gui7: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [23:00] xfact, is Ubuntu supporting your camera [23:00] gui7: you can then run: rar x file.rar and it will handle it all [23:00] ActionParsnip, i'm messing with unrar as we speak :) [23:00] xfact, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaDigitalCameras [23:01] Anyone have a clue why CUPs returns "Remote host did not accept data file" when printing to an LPD printer (Only happens when send a blank document with no carriage return) [23:01] using irssi+screen+nicklist.pl, there is a way to scrolling up nicklist? [23:01] Man gftp soks [23:01] ActionParsnip, how can i install previous versions of the packages without apt to want to remove half of my apps? :/ [23:01] Is there a better ftp program? [23:01] gui7: fileroller will also inherit rar abilities too so you can use the pretty gui if you like mouse stuff [23:01] nickybatts: Nautilus [23:01] mka: i already mentioned, no it's not supporting....so I am asking for help... [23:01] SiDi: sudo apt-get --reinstall install package [23:01] nickybatts: Places > Connect to server [23:02] macman_, yes. you use a software to write to a cd/dvd. the process is called "to burn a cd" [23:03] I'm using EasyTag2.1.6 and I have a folder of over 100 mp3's all from the same Artist - is there a method to mass convert them all quickly? [23:03] macman_, you can use brasero if you are on gnome or k3b if you are on kde to write to a cd [23:03] lsdluna: yes === minimec_ is now known as minimec [23:03] I don't see that... hmmm [23:03] lsdluna: select all the mp3s in EasyTag. update the artist field. next to the artist field there is a checkbox, check it to apply the change to all tracks. then write that tags. [23:04] xfact, even if the camera is not supporting, linux can support the camera [23:04] brontosaurusrexw: my problem is solved, i just set realplayer to use alsa [23:04] xfact, even if the camera is not supporting linux, linux can support the camera [23:04] nickybatts: you're using GNOME? [23:04] mka: how? [23:04] unrar still doesn't work! - it only extracts the info from the 1st file (.r00), but doesnt continue extracting .r02, .r03 etc! [23:04] XFCE [23:05] Iwant to know the safe way.... [23:05] hmmm i am in xfce, i have install compiz and ccsm yet none of my effects happen when i press the key combos [23:05] nickybatts: #xubuntu? [23:05] xfact, my phone says they dont support linux, but linux supports it [23:05] any clues? [23:05] my grub.cfg file for wubi was corrupted. can anyone give me an example boot entry or tell me how to generate it? [23:05] Can somene send me the lines for the sources.list file? (i didn't back mine up) [23:06] nickybatts: or install Filezilla [23:06] mka: can you tell me...how to make linux supports these devices? [23:06] i have a security issue, in my ubuntu 9.10 when i change to another user, after the user uses the system, the ubuntu come back to my desktop without asking for password, anyone know what is this? [23:06] The_shark_001: for? [23:06] xfact: what make/model camera? [23:06] ..anyone here using a wubi install? [23:06] Basic packages [23:06] !anyone | Kevin` [23:06] Kevin`: 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? [23:06] my grub.cfg file for wubi was corrupted. can anyone give me an example boot entry or tell me how to generate it? [23:06] The_shark_001: what version [23:06] ..anyone here using a wubi install? [23:06] hold on [23:06] for all the exictment over compiz, i have never got it to work [23:06] Hi Netizens! Can someone help me install ruby (from source) into /opt ? (I have successfully built it, only make install is failing to install to /opt) [23:06] mneptok: thanks, knew it was something simple i'm missing lol. [23:07] The_shark_001: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [23:07] jimdandy: you might need something like sudo make DESTDIR=/opt/ruby install [23:07] mneptok: it's Samsung ES15 10.2 MP digital camera..... [23:07] xfact, check on the link I gave you if it is part of the supported hardware. if it is not there it might not be supported and it is very very very hard to support it yourself. (I have a compro t750f tv card sitting on my table unsupported) [23:07] using Ubuntu 9.10 [23:07] ActionParsnip, Thanks ! It seemed to have work [23:07] nvm, i got it working, i just had a lack of disk space so it aborted :) [23:07] even the web guide i looked at got me no where [23:07] what's a good netbook for ubuntu 9.10? [23:07] s/work/worked/ [23:07] ok, I'll try that thanks. === baz is now known as xfceadict [23:07] SiDi: sweet :D [23:08] xfact, if it is there, it has to work, we can help you better [23:08] xfact: what format is the memory card? FAT32? [23:08] ActionParsnip, not so much, since it means there probably was a regression due to an SRU. And i'm the guy who confirmed It Worked. So i'm gonna get my ass kicked :P [23:08] well, I get a real problem here, updated from 9.4 to 9.10 and it wont boot any more [23:08] xfact: does the internal storage of the camera appear on the GNOME desktop when you plug in the camera? [23:08] mneptok: yes...the card format is FAT32 [23:09] Test [23:09] xfact: if it does, can you access it and see the files on it? [23:09] alloosh: any error messages [23:09] minimec thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your the man [23:09] surely there must be somebody in this channel with a grub.cfg file [23:09] something like init: ureadahead main process 2793 terminated [23:09] The_shark_001: np [23:09] How do I go back.. Just upgraded last night to 9.10 and it's a best [23:09] kevin': my grub.cfg is going to be rather different than yours [23:09] !downgrade | vibes4me [23:09] Kevin`: try sudo update-grub [23:09] vibes4me: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [23:09] ActionParsnip, alright, it looks like everything's working. Thanks again for your spare time [23:09] so im running with two monitors configured as separate X screens, bug notification area icons only appear on the primary display! [23:09] Kevin`: also, check the scripts in /etc/grub.d [23:09] mneptok, if the camera is supported then the internal memory can be accessed via ubuntu [23:09] so a Cold Install? [23:09] xfceadict: [23:09] mneptok: no when i am connecting...then nothing appearing on my pc.... just like nothing changed.... [23:10] Hi, anyone who knows how to select default audio device when you 2 soundcards in kubuntu 9.10 [23:10] vibes4me: correct [23:10] lstarnes: I tried that, it seems like it tries to autodetect the boot method / root device [23:10] will I loose all my current files? [23:10] My personal stuff I mean [23:10] xfact, for the second time, have you tried f-spot? [23:10] xfact: do you have a card reader to put the memory card in? try that, and see if the results change. [23:10] vibes4me: sure [23:10] if I try to install over it [23:10] SiDi: no worries fellah [23:10] vibes4me: you will lose your root partition's files [23:10] ok thanks [23:10] vibes4me: but if your /home is on a separate partition, you should be fine [23:10] gee 1600x1200 laptop display and no working compiz [23:11] I like 9.04 it worked fine [23:11] mka: if the internal memory is not mounting, then F-Spot will be useless. [23:11] xfact, I think mneptok has a point, it's worth resorting to [23:11] Hah! It worked, but now I have /usr/local/... under /opt/ruby :) Thats fine, I'll just have a longer path. [23:11] vibes4me: never touch a running system [23:11] Amen! [23:11] vibes4me: this is also the important thing if using linux/ubuntu [23:11] Badegakk, it's best to set you BIOS peripherals to disable one soundcard [23:11] jimdandy: can use a symlink to make personal access quicker ;) [23:11] Thanks and long live Ubuntu/HPUX [23:11] vibes4me: not HPUX [23:11] HPUX rocks [23:11] mneptok, I remember accessing files from internal memory of a camera with f-spot while I could not do it with nautilus. [23:12] there's an ubuntu/hpux? [23:12] mneptok: yes...right...card reader can help...but in Ubuntu camera sync is still not possible? [23:12] just doesn't roll [23:12] Kevin`: no [23:12] I will fix it when I get some time [23:12] xfact: depends on the camera. [23:12] L8ter Gaters [23:12] Help [23:12] Spear: ask away [23:12] xfact, f-spot, I know I am a pain [23:12] how do i mount images in ubuntu [23:12] xfact: if the card appears when plugged into a card reader, and not when using the camera, then your camera may be doing something funky. [23:12] does Ubuntu directly support any mobile devices? [23:12] nameo0: as in iso files? [23:13] yup [23:13] I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on a Gigabyte TC4. It will only boot with acpi=off enabled [23:13] what is the best way to back up the entire drive (like image makers do in windows) is there anything similar in karmic? [23:13] but when it boots the graphics lag badly [23:13] name0: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mount/point [23:13] nameo0, iso images? "sudo mount file.iso mountpoint -o loop" [23:13] okey [23:13] xfact: many. my Blackberry Curve and T-Mo G1 work perfectly. [23:13] JoeSomebody: partimage [23:13] JoeSomebody: its not the best, no app is the best [23:13] ActionParsnip: did you get all that? :) [23:13] lstarnes: it's gonna take me all day to reconstruct a boot entry from reverse engineering the scripts and includes for the script [23:13] JoeSomebody: dd [23:13] Spear: got the latest bios? [23:14] xfact, yes my phone is supported by ubuntu [23:14] do you think my Nokia 5800 Xpress music set will support ubuntu 9.04? [23:14] Spear: is the BIOS set to have acpi enabled and used? [23:14] Absolutely no idea [23:14] xfact, maybe [23:14] Spear: i think you should check on both [23:14] xfact, I use samsung u700 [23:14] ActionParsnip: I hadn't thought of that -- checking now :-) [23:14] okey [23:14] Spear: unfortunately some hardware NEEDS the option active so you may ot be able to avoid it [23:14] xfact, sorry, I use samsung u800 [23:15] ok thanks guys will check them both out [23:15] oh [23:15] Does Ubuntu uses code names such as hardly intrepid and jaunty? If not is this another flavor of Ubuntu? [23:15] anybody know what the package name for the package to pull in the ogl headers for nvidia drivers? [23:15] xfact: you wont be able to install buntu to it but you should be able to mount the storage, if you boot a liveCD you can test [23:15] ActionParsnip: the only option for ACPI is suspend-type [23:15] which is set to S1(POS) [23:15] The_shark_001: ?? [23:15] The_shark_001: its a different release, it is sttill ubuntu [23:15] The_shark_001: those are code names [23:15] does anybody know how to turn on WOL in OPENFirmware [23:16] ActionParsnip: no no I am just asking for mounting/sync the storage only.... [23:16] Spear: try a different option, or upgrade bios may be needed [23:16] is there a way to manually mount the root filesystem from the initramfs? if I mount it at /root, it just says it can't find the device again when I exit the shell [23:16] xfact: then rsync can do that [23:16] thanks guys [23:16] nice to know this [23:16] xfact: you can then rsync to a clean system and it will upgrade the system using the backed up files [23:17] msmarc: wouldn't that be a setting on the card itself? [23:17] I tried to install Ubuntu remix alongside openSUSE and I messed it up, perhaps because I set Ubuntu to share /boot partition. What is the correct way of doing it? [23:17] ActionParsnip: The specs for the system are available here http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Barebone/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2016#anchor_os [23:17] Ubuntu supports NTFS, FAT, FAt32 systems officially? [23:17] xfact: partimage actually takes an image if the partition which you can then drop onto any similarly sized (or larger sized) [23:17] xfact: partition [23:17] I am reinstalling Ubuntu Netbook Remix now and will install Ubuntu later [23:17] ActionParsnip: the BIOS says F4 which is the same at boot time when the computer is turned on [23:17] ActionParsnip: ok [23:17] Spear: doesnt matter, if the bios is too old it may not allow you to boot withot acpi [23:18] I am reinstalling Ubuntu Netbook Remix now and will install openSUSE [23:18] later [23:18] froglet: we dont care [23:18] ? [23:18] where can I download ubuntu 9.10? [23:18] err [23:18] ActionParsnip: it worked with the XBMC live cd version 9.04 [23:18] sorry 9.04 [23:18] !download | ekristen [23:18] ekristen: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:18] I can't install them side by side? [23:18] froglet: sure you can [23:18] any idea why 9.10 won't see my sata hard drive? [23:19] hi, i just got a new 1.5tb hard drive, im wondering what file system i should make it because im going to be s haring this hard drive as a storage hard drive between my windows 7 install and ubuntu [23:19] so then why the smart@** reply? [23:19] any suggestions? [23:19] what's the latest ubuntu kernel? [23:19] i want to be able to save files of unlimited size [23:19] 2.6.32.2? [23:19] dandaman: ntfs [23:19] ntfs isnt an option in gparted :( [23:19] its grayed out [23:20] what's the actual version of pulseaudio that ubuntu ships with? [23:20] dandaman: install 'ntfsprogs' [23:20] k [23:20] squarebracket, apt-cache policy pulseaudio will tell you [23:20] ola [23:20] dandaman, make it ntfs. it may help to partition it into more than one partition though. [23:21] Beagle [23:21] froglet: it read like a disgruntled ubuntu ad a say to suse, my bad, sorry [23:21] ActionParsnip: no no, I should have explained it better [23:21] dandaman, what format ist it now? [23:21] dandaman: really the best thing to do would be to connect the drive to one system only and access it from windows via networking. ntfs access on linux is slow, but it's the only thing windows supports [23:21] no disgruntlement here [23:21] unformatted... [23:22] froglet: you can install both next to each other, they are essentially te same OS [23:22] dandaman: format it as fat32 and on windows reformat it as ntfs [23:22] froglet: if you reinstall, partition the drive(s) with free space with which to use for ubuntu [23:22] ActionParsnip: did I mess it up because I tried to use the same /boot partition for Ubuntu that I used for openSUSE? [23:22] kk [23:22] formatting it as fat32 first is pointless [23:23] I did not try to reformat it [23:23] I thought I could install all the images on the one /boot [23:23] dandaman: is this one dual-boot computer or multiple [23:23] Kevin`, what do you suggest, brother [23:23] well, I thinnk that my problem is that the file system is read only [23:23] im dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu [23:23] froglet: should be ok provided there is space and you didnt tell the installer to format it [23:23] anyway I could fix hat > [23:23] that? [23:23] mka: either format it in windows, or just partition and format it yourself using normal tools [23:23] ActionParsnip: I am stumped then. I will keep trying until I get it right [23:23] anyone here used gdesklets? [23:24] Hi, does anyone know how to install ubuntu live on my computer? [23:24] anybody here use hamster-applet? [23:24] Hi, does anyone know how to install ubuntu live on my computer? [23:24] please, is anyone here using an ubuntu install on windows? I need the grub.cfg file [23:24] Kevin`, thats what dandaman wants to know, tell us about these "normal tools" [23:24] aafuentes: What about hamster-applet? I know it's time-tracking applet. How about it? :) [23:24] anyone know why ubuntu 9.10 won't see my sata drive? [23:24] mka: cfdisk/fdisk, mkntfs [23:24] How do I instally ubuntu on windows? [23:24] Duck-: you can install wubi which will install as an app in windows, or you can install as a true install using the live cd. Can you please clarify your requirements? [23:25] understand this isn't a "Ubuntu Server" software question however it is stopping me for installing the OS so I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction... I just got 2 Dell Poweredge 2650 servers, however i can't get a USB keyboard to work on either of them (even with a USB to PS2 adapter)... I have tried both back ports and the front port, nothing powers the keyboard.... On startup the computer says keybo [23:25] ard failure... Any Ideas? [23:25] !wubi | Duck- [23:25] Duck-: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

I am looking for some help setting up a 00:1e.3 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Modem Controller, from what I know this device also controls the audio, which works, but when gnome-ppp tries to detect the modem it says no modem is installed. [23:26] Duck-: no [23:27] hi [23:27] Kevin`, but there is a way to select partition type with cfdisk, is that only a demo?? hahahha [23:27] mka: no, it selects the partition type. the MBR contains a partition type field [23:27] iceroot, thanks [23:27] Duck-: but you can use vbox [23:27] So I can install gentoo if I install inbunto live on my windows?

[23:32] in another channel a while back, I came across what I think was an almost perfect trollbot [23:32] I think duck is the same thing [23:33] time to get op in here, so i dont have to use !op :) [23:33] I don't know if trollbot is capable of replying (for highlight purposes)?

[23:35] How can I install ubuntu on a vail laptop that has nvidia g230m video card? [23:35] what on earth is that ubuntu cant find /root in /etc/fstab [23:35] alloosh: insert the cd and choose install [23:35] alex_mayorga: How can't you? [23:35] does anyone know a way to force ubuntu to transfer data stored in swap to ram? [23:35] iceroot: no thanks, iam trying not to lose my date [23:35] Lokin, the live CD gives me red/gray flashing blocks [23:36] i get these things after upgrade [23:36] alloosh: because there is no seperate /root partition. It's '/' ;) [23:36] video from live Cd is unusable [23:36] alloosh: ?? [23:36] biggerfisch: swapoff/swapon, but that isn't completely proper [23:36] Lokin, 9.10 live Cd doesn't work [23:36] the original error is init: mountall: root filesystem isn't mounted [23:37] alex_mayorga: Could you have coppied it wrong? [23:37] alloosh: the root filesystem is the'/' partition [23:37] Hi, Does anyone naw where I can finda cracked version of inbunto?? [23:37] Lokin, I don't think so, but I can try re-download [23:37] can anyone tell me why powering down and moving the tower and changing the usb wifi dongle's position to another port would make ubuntu unable to connect to the internet? it connects to the network but not the internet [23:37] !op | Duck- [23:37] Duck-: Help!

[23:37] oic [23:37] Kevin`: I need to use swap every once in a while, but even when I have plenty of ram space, the used swap wont clear or move [23:38] alex_mayorga: I only ask because your video card should not affect how the live cd runs, and how the video plays. [23:38] Flannel: its a bot [23:38] Flannel: From the pirate bay? [23:38] sudo mount / gives /dev/sda1 already mounted or / busy [23:38] Flannel: We have reasons to believe that Duck- is a bot. [23:38] minimec: [23:38] Flannel: or a troll [23:38] I think what we have is a troll [23:38] not directly related to ubuntu, but I have a hardware question. http://www.netgear.com/upload/product/wg311/enus_largeimage_product_wg311.jpg?20070315T1854105405 is a card that works for a PCI 2.2 slot.

[23:39] I have problem with inbuto too [23:39] Lokin, the borked video also happens when I do check Cd [23:39] ubuntu 9.10 is problem xD [23:39] hehehehehe [23:39] hero1900: Elaborate [23:39] ok [23:40] alloosh: Did you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? I had that problem doing that. I had to reinstall a clean karmic install on the '/' partition, keeping untouched my /home partition. [23:40] when i launch games in fullscreen mode [23:40] especially nexus and alien [23:40] spO: ##windows [23:40] what does koala have that heron doesnt [23:40] kinja-sheep: I don't see any reason why it'd be a bot. Person causing trouble sure, and a lot of rudeness directed at said person in the past from people here (which I'm not happy with), but no bot indicators. [23:40] Hey minimec I finally did it.. [23:40] iceroot, KVM [23:40] BLOODCLAW: newer software [23:40] BLOODCLAW: newer software [23:40] and when i quite the system will stuck in blank screen [23:40] minimec: yes, this is exactly the case, and you had to do fresh install? [23:40] spO: then #kvm [23:40] herb__, do you have instaled driver for graph card? [23:40] Hi, How can i install inbunto on inbunto so I have a more powerful computer? [23:41] I had a problem with 9.10 but the install went well, it was after the update that X would no longer work, I only had command line [23:41] hero1900, do you have instaled driver for graph card? [23:41] Flannel: Trollbot, perhaps? [23:41] BLOODCLAW: a marsupial pouch. [23:41] iceroot: heron wont get the same software in repo? [23:41] BLOODCLAW: I you're on Hardy, stick with Hardy until 10.04, which is the next LTS. You'll be able to upgrade directly to it from 8.04 [23:41] !ubuntu > Duck- (Duck-, see the private message from ubottu) [23:41] Flannel: can you kick him? [23:41] !install > Duck- (Duck-, see the private message from ubottu) [23:41] yes i have nvidea and i am 185 [23:41] BLOODCLAW: correct [23:41] the latest one [23:41] i have no icons in the system menu on the panel, help me [23:41] mneptok: thx [23:41] alloosh: I did a fresh install. Tjat gave me the possibility to switch to a clean ext4 partition too. [23:41] Flannel: will it wipe my hd when i upgrade from 8->10? [23:41] !X [23:41] 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 [23:41] BLOODCLAW: Nope [23:41] I need some help troubleshooting wifi [23:42] wolter: What was the problem? Some kind of seesion error I guess... [23:42] BLOODCLAW: for a release there are only coming security updates, not software-upgrades [23:42] minimec, I don't know, I did what you told me to [23:42] minimec, but yeah, was necessary [23:42] alex_mayorga: Well, I'll be honest with you I have never encountered the problem. So I'd keep asking around or (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS306&q=Problematic+Ubuntu+9.10+video&aq=f&oq=&aqi=) [23:42] Ose, wifi is nothing but trouble [23:42] minimec: ok, will do that now, I am sure I loose lots of data, and configurations, well damn, maybe its time [23:42] now my session boots a lot faster [23:42] Lokin, do you think I need to re-download [23:42] hm my sound in flash is not working [23:42] Flannel: is 10 supposed to have big changes, or it would just be a good time to update? [23:42] wolter: some kind of win/win situation ;) [23:42] BLOODCLAW, but hardy is a bit of very old news [23:42] I was online, powered down, moved the tower, moved the usb wifi dongle to another port and powered up, and now i'm connecting to the network but not the internet [23:43] minimec, well.. i had to restore a lot of .folders [23:43] alloosh: DOn't you have a seperate /home partition? [23:43] mka: like how old [23:43] to get my settings back, but nothing very painful [23:43] alex_mayorga I'd refer to the link.. But that is what I would have done first. [23:43] BLOODCLAW: LTS is long term support, which means its supported for 3 years (twice the usual) so you don't have to upgrade as often. [23:43] minimec, well yes, one thing... now my webcam doesn't work :S [23:43] BLOODCLAW, no ext4 [23:43] and I have no icons on the gnome-panel system menu [23:43] minimec: yes, but php, databases, and all the development stuff are rooted [23:43] wolter: I guess so... What kind of webcam is that? [23:43] BLOODCLAW: 8.04 is LTS, and 10.04 will be LTS as well [23:43] but I don't see how that could've happened [23:44] Flannel: how many years old is heron? [23:44] BLOODCLAW, hardware support [23:44] minimec, dont remember anymore.. how can I get it? [23:44] BLOODCLAW: In my opinion, there are lot of dramatic changes between Hardy and Karmic. Hardy have been known for stability and is useful for large businesses that does not wish to deploy every 6 months. [23:44] mka: i see... ty [23:44] BLOODCLAW, Flannel it's 8.04 [23:44] BLOODCLAW: 8.04 was released in April of 2008, so it's about a year and a half old. [23:44] sync3times: unfortunately the alternative is 20-30 m of ethernet cable through the hall [23:44] mmmmmmm [23:44] kinja-sheep: ty [23:44] mka: ty [23:44] alloosh: Yeah that's true. They are stored in /var. Maybe make a seperate /var partiton, when you do a fresh installation. 3GB for /var should do. [23:44] BLOODCLAW: If you don't mind messing around with stuffs and see new things, then go ahead. :) [23:45] Flannel: how often do they upgrade, like every year then? [23:45] BLOODCLAW: If you've got 8.04 and it's working fine for you, there's no reason to upgrade now, wait for 10.04 to upgrade. [23:45] kinja-sheep: hahaha nooo i just want it to work! xD [23:45] wolter: lsusb should give you the info you need. [23:45] BLOODCLAW: Ubuntu is released every six months, but an LTS version is released every two years [23:45] I noticed that many people got in troubles when upgrading to 9.10, the developers should have checked that [23:45] minimec, oh its an omnivision something [23:45] BLOODCLAW, and LTS versions are a bit dull, esp for a person dying to be on a bleeding edge [23:45] Ose, thats a long hop is true [23:45] alloosh: yes I had trouble installing it clean too [23:45] wolter: open system>preferences>appearance>interface>show icons in menu [23:46] Flannel: ty [23:46] thanks legend2440 ! [23:46] wolter: your welcome [23:46] mka: He's not dying ot be on the bleeding edge. The newest version isn't always the best version, there's no reason for him to upgrade right now. [23:46] mka: meh, ill survive hehe [23:46] Cannot open /dev/video0 [23:46] alloosh: the install went fine but the updates messed it up. I just installed the remix and am about to do the updates [23:46] can someone please help me connect to the internet wirelessly? [23:46] wolter: You can search the net for the exact model using the 8digit number 1b2c:0002 or so ;) [23:46] Ubuntu can detect the network, but it can't establish the connection for some darn reason [23:47] luisgmarine: join the club :P [23:47] froglet: I installed 9.4 on my laptop and then upgraded to 9.10 with no problems, but I got in troubles with my desktop [23:47] minimec, yeah... it used to work.. don't really know what happened! [23:47] Flannel, but LTS versions suck. [23:47] is it possible to install a 64bit ubuntu from a 32bit linux by chroot? [23:47] alloosh: exactly the same here [23:47] mka: No they don't. Please be helpful when helping. [23:47] !lts | mka [23:47] mka: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [23:47] mka: why dont you like lts [23:47] mka: Long Term Support <--- KEY [23:47] mka its stable [23:47] Ose: what have you tried? [23:47] wolter: You can also read the output of dmesg to see, whether your cam device gives some errors during boot. [23:48] kinja-sheep, I know LTS a lot, it's for people with companies or ones afraid of getting hands dirty [23:48] BLOODCLAW: if you're using 8.04, keep using it until 10.04. then you can upgrade without internediate steps. [23:48] *intermediate [23:48] luisgmarine: [00:42] I was online, powered down, moved the tower, moved the usb wifi dongle to another port and powered up, and now i'm connecting to the network but not the internet [23:48] froglet: actually this is the first time in the last 4 years ubuntu gives me problems, I really appreciate this system [23:48] mneptok: okay. im satisfied right now as it is so ill wait [23:48] mka: Or for people that have lot of times on their hands. [23:48] hi all, i have an Atheros AR2413 on my ubuntu karmic. WHere i can find the ebst drivers? [23:48] mneptok: isnt koala lts though? [23:48] kinja-sheep, LTS seems like debian distro, it's stable too much that it becomes boring [23:48] sudo aptitude install samba [23:49] mka: Again, please stop projecting your wants for an OS onto everyone else. Stability is what he wants, not the newest versions of everything. [23:49] BLOODCLAW: 8.04 > 10.04 is a lot easier than 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04 > 9.10 [23:49] Ose: darn. I can see the network but I can't connect to it, it's starting to tick me off really bad [23:49] BLOODCLAW: no, Koala is not. Lucid is. [23:49] BLOODCLAW: 10.04 will be LTS, which is Lucid Lynx. Karmic Koala is 9.10, not an LTS. [23:49] oh the remix is nice, I hope the updates do not mess it up [23:49] minimec, i think the error was in gconf/d [23:49] I'm not that bad with Ubuntu but for the love of god I can't figure this one out [23:49] Flannel, oh, he wants stability? the use LTS, no problem [23:49] luisgmarine: You're connected via WEP or WPA? [23:49] Im a dork [23:49] Flannel, I thought he doesn't know what he wants [23:49] mka: If you would stop your anti-LTS rant and listen to what he was saying, you would've heard that 10 minutes ago. [23:50] ^ girlfriend. [23:50] Flannel: do i just have to do some research to see if it its lts? [23:50] kinja-sheep: none,I took off encryption [23:50] * Ose found connecting to a WEP network impossible, but resolved that by switching to WPA [23:50] Flannel, I am so into LTS myself, geez, freedom of speech!! [23:50] how can i run a command as root right after a fs from fstab was mounted? [23:50] given that I have 8.10, should I upgrade now or wait for 10.04? [23:50] BLOODCLAW: They'll be labeled LTS. 8.04 was LTS, labeled such on the web, and 10.04 will be as well once it comes out. [23:51] thanks everyone [23:51] luisgmarine: Could you paste your /etc/resolv.conf ?

[23:51] Flannel: I have 8.10, should I upgrade to 9 now or wait for 10? [23:51] thanks BLOODCLAW [23:51] Flannel: I'd like to stay on LTS next time [23:52] minimec, yes.. thats what's weird.. but maybe there was something in gconf that made the system not load the webcam [23:52] because there is no /dev/video0 [23:52] eix: 8.10 only upgrades to 9.04, so to get to LTS you'll need to upgrade to 9.04 then 9.10 then 10.04 (then you'll be on LTS, and can stay on LTS) [23:52] Ose: usually its the opposite way round === miguel is now known as Guest46027 [23:52] eix, Stay on LTS [23:52] hi === Mj is now known as Guest51964 [23:52] Flannel: so it's better that I begin upgrading now to 9.04 [23:52] mka: I am not on LTS, 8.10 it's not [23:52] I installed the remix and I have no /etc/resolv.conf file.... what has replaced this file? [23:53] eix: Yes -- Because you're not on LTS right now, you may upgrade. [23:53] eix: If you'd like, yeah. 8.10 is only supported until April anyway, so you'll have to upgrade at some point within the next few months. [23:53] kinja-sheep: ok, thanks [23:53] Flannel: yep it's better that I begin now [23:53] 16:47 < mka> Flannel, but LTS versions suck. || 16:49 < mka> Flannel, oh, he wants stability? the use LTS, no problem || 16:50 < mka> Flannel, I am so into LTS myself, geez, freedom of speech!! [23:53] froglet: you should have one [23:53] Flannel: I am actually making upgrade tests since this is a server [23:53] nope none [23:53] eix, then upgrade to jaunty (9.04) then karmic (9.10) and you will be ready for the next station: lucid (10.04) [23:53] froglet: network manager or wicd generate the file [23:53] wolter: no. Your devices are recognized system wide. Your problem should also be a user-problem. Check dmesg, to see how your webcam is loaded during boot. [23:53] mka: care to explain that? or better yet, just keep "it sucks" opinions to yuorself. OK? [23:53] hi all, i have an Atheros AR2413 on my ubuntu karmic. WHere i can find the best drivers? [23:53] ActionParsnip: ty [23:53] froglet: i'd create one yourself to cover your ass [23:53] Flannel: however I was wondering if it would be also the time to re-install as 64bit [23:53] whenis lucid? [23:54] since I am running 32bit on a 64bit (not my fault) [23:54] !lucid | joshua__ [23:54] joshua__: 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 [23:54] mneptok, geez, that was ages ago [23:54] eix: You could wait and do a fresh install, yeah. Then you'd have a few months to backup and get migration stuff ready [23:54] froglet: 2 lines: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 [23:54] ah now I know where those version numbers come from too [23:54] kinja-sheep: http://pastebin.com/d31f7d46d [23:54] mneptok, what is the alternative, "it's bad"? [23:54] Flannel: wait for? [23:54] eix: Best to make backups. Some people experienced problematic when upgrading. [23:54] Lokin: i just want an automated script every time when fstab mounts something [23:55] eix: 10.04 LTS to be released [23:55] ActionParsnip: eh, the google effect :) [23:55] I am under fire today [23:55] eix: its just easy to remember [23:55] why ubuntu not upgraded to the newest kernel?? [23:55] I thought fstab was a data file [23:55] eix: otherwise I more than not use my own dns service [23:55] kinja-sheep: I'll actualy make the upgrade on a test machine first. you mean 8->9 upgrade, yes? [23:55] joshua__: its simple text [23:55] mka: the alternative is to not use sweeping critiques that have little basis in provable reality. so don't. thanks. [23:55] eix: makes webbrowsing faster [23:55] matteo1990, that's the wireless card right? [23:55] how could i install windows to another partition without it killing my mbr? [23:56] I put in a resolv.conf but I still have no connectivity in remix 9.10 [23:56] ActionParsnip: indeed. weird that nobody thought about it before [23:56] ActionParsnip: (I mean simple DNS addresses) [23:56] mneptok, let it slide, brother, as I said, it's jurissac era [23:56] hi, i have a brother mfc-7440n, i installed it according to the brother website and it just keeps printing blank pages over and over until i press stop on the printer. it is a network printer [23:56] froglet: if you nslookup names, do you get a resolve? [23:56] eix: I often am favoring clean installations more than upgrading myself. Yes. [23:56] eix: there are many simple dns addresses [23:56] eix: 2.2.2.2 2.2.2.3 [23:56] hiya [23:56] Yes, sheep as am I [23:56] Flannel: mmh..I think it will be a bloodbath to upgrade from 8.10 32bit to 9.04 64bit. I'll migrate to 9.04 -> 9.10 [23:57] ActionParsnip: I am going to check the hardware drivers [23:57] mneptok, as a matter of fact it's yesterday on my localtime [23:57] *8.10 rebit to 10.04 64bit [23:57] anyone know how to print PDF's in booklet format? Ie. like a bound book from the store [23:57] How do I put the task bar icons (ie. Pidgin, Opera, sound volume) back up please? [23:57] ** 32bit [23:57] eix: You can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, you have to reinstall. So you might as well do a fresh install of 10.04 when it's released. [23:57] I feel like making a ppa called fossil that adds /usr/tmp -> /var/tmp, /usr/run -> /var/run, /usr/lock -> /var/lock, /usr/log -> /var/log /usr/spool -> /var/spool [23:57] LetsGo67: Right-Click on the panel and add "Notification Area" [23:57] minimec, this is what i found significant http://pastebin.com/m30824a68 [23:57] Flannel: yes I mean manual upgrade [23:57] LetsGo67: right click panel -> add item notifications [23:57] l;kjasdf [23:57] Woops [23:57] kinja-sheep: did you get my /etc/resolv.conf? [23:58] Flannel: do you know if it's possible to debootstrap a 64bit ubuntu from a running 32bit ubuntu? [23:58] luisgmarine: Sorry. Yes, I did. It looks okay. [23:58] eix: It should be, yeah. I don't think I'd want to personally. [23:58] eix: I'll bet that works if you manually install a 64 bit kernel first [23:58] eix: if you install and configure dnsmasq you will reduce dns resolves on the web and will use a locally stored cace, making web browsing faster [23:58] MHz128, try installing pdfjam [23:58] cool [23:58] ActionParsnip (we've met befoure!) and kinja-sheep (Freut mich!): thank you! [23:58] MHz128, not sure about the bookstore specification [23:59] luisgmarine: Use WPA instead of WEP (if that's what you're on). [23:59] ActionParsnip: yep I also went down that path once, I think I got fed up because it had unwanted package dependencies [23:59] minimec, any ideas? [23:59] MHz128, pdfsam is also useful too [23:59] (apart) where are my gnome-terminal themes? [23:59] kinja-sheep: not all devices can use wpa [23:59] Flannel, joshua__ it will probably work at first, but I can't run 64bit ELF without a 64bit running kernel.. [23:59] mka, thanks! :)
