[00:00] MHz128, you welcome [00:00] ? [00:00] eix: which is why I said if you manually install the kernel first [00:00] ActionParsnip: I have just checked that a touch T8282 can connect to wpa2-AES without issues [00:00] ae86-drifter, uh huh? [00:00] ActionParsnip: (dnsmasq) -- Faster than OpenDNS or any DNS servers? [00:00] can anyone please help me with my printer?? 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 [00:01] wolter: your webcam is loaded and supported. Looks that you got a dell inspiron 1520. Open gstreamer-properties and go to the video section. Play around there. [00:01] kinja-sheep: well yes as the resolve is local rather than on the internet so its automatically faster, it takes 0ms rather than 30ms === kb is now known as Guest50794 [00:01] minimec, Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'.

I'm going to mess with it now. [00:02] kinja-sheep: if we can reduce the dns traffic on the web it will be a lot faster [00:02] eix: if you add extra security its fine [00:02] lol [00:02] ActionParsnip: like dynamic WEP? [00:03] ActionParsnip: what kind of extra security makes wep fine? === okan__ is now known as okan_ [00:03] wolter: First step. Reboot that machine. There is no reason, that your webcam shouldn't work. Then again. Login to that test user you created (if after reboot your device is not recognized) [00:03] will do [00:03] eix: no like hidden ESSIDs, weird IP netmask, no dhcp, mac filtering, weird non-readable SSID, restricted ariel power [00:03] mka, can u please help me >?? [00:03] what do u mean by uh-huh? [00:03] oh yes remix version is slow, regular Ubuntu was faster [00:04] ActionParsnip: yes but anybody can dump your WEP traffic and "decrypt" it [00:04] ActionParsnip: and it takes no time to detect IP addresses, netmasks and your other passwords [00:04] eix: sure, but its good enough for me.

[00:06] eix: where do you put the script? [00:06] matteo1990: websearches, my child [00:06] my sansa fuse wont work with linux [00:06] why does my laptop black the screen and password protect it when plugged into power and I disabled sleep on AC in power management? [00:06] Flandry: you should put or symlink it to /etc/init.d/ [00:06] ae86-drifter, but it prints a blank page corresponding to a page that was supposed to be printed correctly, right? [00:06] matteo1990: dmesg | less may also say it expects some firmware but it wasnt coming [00:06] mka, yes.. [00:06] eix: ok thanks [00:06] my black 8gb sansa fuse wont work with linux [00:06] nvm [00:06] jjmartin: maybe some clock glitch?

[00:08] kinja-sheep: so if you keep accessing the sme page, the IP will already be known so you wont have to continually ask the DNS servers online for the same address [00:08] mka, any ideas?? [00:08] kinja-sheep: that I do not know [00:08] kinja-sheep: nor do i care [00:09] ActionParsnip: That is logical. Ubuntu should make this default. :) [00:09] kinja-sheep: it will keep growing until the service is restarted [00:09] is there a accessibility room for ubuntu? talk about accessibility? [00:09] ActionParsnip, i have tried dmesg | grep Atheros but nothing about firmware... [00:09] ActionParsnip: Thanks for that tip. I like it. [00:09] kinja-sheep: i've said the same thing for a LONG time [00:09] ae86-drifter, no ideas [00:09] dnsmasq is awesome if you wanna speedup page loading [00:09] kinja-sheep: i have one on all my desktop systems (all one of them) [00:09] ae86-drifter, just the basics, does you printer has sufficient toner? [00:09] I have an issue since upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. When I click anywhere in the titlebar, sometimes it registers in the proper window, sometimes it registers the click in another, seemingly unrelated window. I might try and minimize Firefox, but it actually minimizes a terminal on the other monitor. Any ideas? [00:09] has anyone had issues with brother printers printing blank pages, or saying receiving data then cutting out?? [00:09] Spirits-Sight: I know none [00:10] ae86-drifter, it seems as if it's your printer problem than ubuntu's [00:10] kinja-sheep: you can use some bind9 jiggery pokery so that it can be accessed by other systems than localhost [00:10] mka, the printer is fine [00:10] eix thanks [00:10] the issue is ubuntu [00:10] ae86-drifter, the test page can be printed fine?

[00:11] ActionParsnip: I'm the only person that uses this laptop, so I can't really answer that question. [00:11] i thought you mean a test page from the actual printer...

[00:12] should be automatic [00:12] ae86-drifter, I meant the test page from the printer which you confirmed that it works [00:12] ae86-drifter, this is ubuntu problem then [00:12] ae86-drifter: what pinter model is that? did you check the cups printer database. Is there a linux dirver on the brother homepage? [00:13] alex_mayorga: use bootoptions [00:13] ActionPsrsnip: what do I pick in there? [00:13] where cun i run a command as root while booting (after fstab)?

[00:15] I learn something every time I come here [00:15] what is the screen after log in called [00:15] dont use 'sudo su' use sudo -s, if needed === maxkelley_ is now known as maxkelley [00:15] the nd the linux way type sudo passwd root === froglet is now known as froglet_ [00:15] then enter the password [00:15] su - [00:15] matteo1990: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=927123 [00:15] Bondy: and definatly dont reccomend that in #ubuntu [00:16] Adola: that wont work in Ubuntu either. [00:16] Dr_Willis: Since when? [00:16] Dr_Willis: I'm in arch, I haven't been in Ubuntu in a while. [00:16] Adola: thers no root password. so 'su -' wont work [00:16] what is the screen after I log in called I need to fix it my screen goes blank [00:16] Dr_Willis: Ohhhh, 'course :] [00:16] matteo1990: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1338431 [00:16] ae86-drifter: did you check that? http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?24,5773,5873,quote=1 [00:16] Adola: use: sudo -s instead [00:17] Bondy: we dont support setting up a root-password. its not needed [00:17] Adola: and archlinux isnt supported here [00:17] mka, i tried that, it does the same thing [00:17] su wont work but sudo su will [00:17] ActionParsnip: Know anything about CA? (I know arch isn't supported, I don't have an arch specific question) [00:17] Adola: no idea mate [00:18] Bondy: you should use sudo -i instead of sudo su [00:18] ActionParsnip: Ok then, keep up the good work. You're growin' linux babeh's over here :] [00:18] sudo su is redundantly wrong. :) for many reasons. [00:18] what is the screen after I log in called I need to fix it my screen goes blank [00:18] tsuna27: xserver ? [00:18] minimec, yes i tried that already to mkdir that dir... according to the brother website [00:18] ubuntu locks it down to be noob friendly and yes it might not be the ubuntu way but no harm in advising the user how to set the root pas [00:18] ActionParsnip: other users appear to register title-bar clicks just fine. It seems it's only the account I use. [00:18] adola: hoe do i change that [00:18] tsuna27: You can't, are you in a gui right now? As in, do you see windows you can drag around? [00:19] ascheel: ok so now we know its settings and not a bug with th system at large [00:19] ae86-drifter, what kind of printer is this? [00:19] ae86-drifter: Well... It looks, that your printer is supported... ;) [00:19] so it seems, ActionParsnip. With some searching, I've seen others with the issue, but no details on how/if they fixed it. [00:19] but they all have 9.10 upgrade in common [00:19] Bondy: This channel considers that is harmfull [00:19] ascheel: are you running desktop effects? [00:19] sudo -i sudu su not much difference apart from the user [00:19] ascheel: interesting.. [00:19] Bondy: there is a difference [00:19] ActionParsnip: compiz is entirely uninstalled. Is that your equestion? [00:20] question* [00:20] Bondy: sudo su will start sudo, su, and a shell [00:20] ascheel: pretty much [00:20] Bondy: sudo -i just starts sudo and the shell without going through su [00:20] Sorry, ActionParsnip. It is NOT uninstalled, but it's disabled as much as i can take it.

[00:32] no such thing as a linux router but any decent router will work with *nix its is made for multi user and networking more than windows# [00:32] kinja-sheep: so if you can keep as much local as you can rather than using the network it will be better [00:33] * grobda24 had bluettoth disabled and does not use it [00:33] minimec, it's ae86-drifter who has a printer problem [00:33] grobda24: sudo rmmod -f btusb [00:34] ActionParsnip, thanks. it says "Removing 'btusb': No such file or directory" [00:34] mka: Yeah Maybe I am getting tired with all these chat lines flying by ... ;) [00:34] grobda24: does it show up with: lsmod | grep usb [00:34] are yo using a soft or system link action? [00:35] anyone knows of an app that will allow me to wipe a file? [00:35] if i want to delete the contents of a directory but not the directory itself, what command/arguments do i pass to rm?

[00:36] mMezquitale, rm makes you wipe a file from the hard drive [00:36] grobda24: sudo /etc/init/d/bluetooth stop or somesuch, use tab completion to complete the bluetooth bit [00:36] Bondy, that's precisely what i need, thanks! :D [00:36] so how do i configure the ssh server to start on boot? [00:37] gui7, you dont have to remove each file one by one, use the command Bondy showed you [00:37] ShaunR: just install it [00:37] ae86-drifter, what is poppler [00:37] ShaunR: it will do so by default when installed... have you installed 'openssh-server' ?

I t will be loaded, when you reboot... ;) [00:38] mka, "rm" securely wipes files from ext4 partitions? I thought you had to give them a few passes for it to be securely removed [00:38] mMezquitale: rm removes it permanetly (if there are no hardlinks anymore) [00:38] mka, no, not securely of course [00:38] damn [00:38] mMezquitale: shred file1 file2 file3 [00:39] !offtopic kinja-sheep [00:39] mMezquitale, not rm does not secure delete [00:39] :P [00:39] he didnt ask how to delete all the dodgy porn on my hd [00:39] iceroot, true but using forensic utilities you may still be able to look at the data, i thought rm mainly sets the disk space as writable again, not securely erase, as in wipe or shred [00:40] Helloo!! Does anyone know how to set single click, than double click which is the default? In mint 7 (ubuntu based) was pretty easy, but can't find it on 8. [00:40] mMezquitale: rm is not deleting [00:40] mMezquitale: m is only removing the hard-link node [00:40] mMezquitale: unlink is removing the file if i am correct which is called after hardlinks =0 [00:40] rm is remove [00:40] intergallactic: properties of the file manager nautilus or thunar [00:41] kinja-sheep, thanks! [00:41] how about a system that uses only tmpfs and encrypted swap? [00:41] mMezquitale: No problem. [00:41] if its a hardlink they need to do it for the link and the destenation [00:41] joshua__, Why would you want that? lol [00:42] Bondy: rm is not removing the destination of the hardlinks [00:42] intergallactic: open nautilus then edit>preferences>behavior tab [00:42] Bondy: its just removing THAT hardlink but not the file [00:42] ? Anyway, now "sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop" is stuck in the same place [00:42] Bondy: when hardlink =0 then the file is deleted [00:42] deleting a soft or hard liink only deletes the link not the destenation [00:42] Bondy: correct [00:42] Bondy: there is no link/destination with hard links, just hard links [00:43] kinja-sheep, how many runs of shred would be considered a safe shred? just once would be enough? then you use rm to delete it? [00:43] Bondy: the original file is in fact a hard link [00:43] i'm having problems writing to /media/fd0/ -- i've tried chmoding it to 751, but all i get is the error "Read-only file system" [00:43] Bondy: you have a file foo in /root and a hardlink to /home/user/foo you only have 1 file called foo on the hdd which have 2 hardlinks [00:43] i need help with ssmtp [00:43] gui7: perhaps the floppy is write protected? [00:43] ohh..man!! i think this was on 7 too.. lol...i suppose i forgot it!!..lol!! many thanks minimec and legend2440 [00:44] mMezquitale: You might want to read "shred --help" Check out all parameters including -u parameter. [00:44] Bondy: yes hard links point to inodes, not files, like normal files do [00:44] has anyone used ssmtp? [00:44] Bondy: if you delete /home/user/foo the file is not deleted, its still there [00:44] LjL, it isnt :/ [00:44] mka, downgrading poppler (pdf renderer) fixed this for someone else https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/410556 [00:44] gui7: try "sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/fd0" [00:44] hello [00:44] iceroot, really? then how can i get it back? [00:44] why /dev/video* doesn't exist with this http://pastebin.com/m5d1fbe22 ? [00:45] kinja-sheep, im still not sure how many passes I should put though, i think 8 should be sufficient but what do you think? [00:45] mka: /root/foo [00:45] mka: if hardlink =0 (use stat a-file-name to see hardlink counter) then the file is gone [00:46] mMezquitale: "sufficient" for what? it all depends on what level of security you want to attain. it's probably impossible to make 100% sure that someone with enough resources can't recover anything. [00:46] mka: and cant be restored [00:46] hardlinks are hard concepts to some people [00:46] mMezquitale: The default is 3. I think you think 8 should be sufficient but what do I think? I don't know ._. [00:46] iceroot, ok. i am bit tired and sleepy. I have to leave now [00:46] uhhhh [00:46] LjL, just for practical purposes, I suppose [00:46] Bye everyone [00:46] by ae86-drifter [00:46] * grobda24 got it - just needed a sudo killall bluetooth* [00:46] Hi all. I tried to use pysdm to get an automount of my NTFS, but now when I plug a flash drive in it won't show up in Nautilus. How do I fix this? [00:46] bye mka [00:47] doggone it... ActionParsnip left [00:47] LjL, i did that, i think it copied it, but now if i try delete anything i get the same read-only filesystem error [00:47] bye minimec [00:47] by mneptok [00:47] a hardlink should be able this way ln -s /thefolderyouwantorthepath /home/theuser/thedir/ [00:47] see you in 2010 [00:47] mMezquitale: for practical purposes, go with the defaults, after all they're made to default to [00:47] salut [00:47] Bondy: That is not a hardlink. That's a symbolic link. [00:47] mMezquitale: also, read "man wipe" about the problems with using these programs with journalling filesystems [00:47] perhaps someone else knows the issue. Sometimes in Ubuntu, after upgraded 9.04 to 9.10, my mouse-clicks will register in another window other than the one I'm trying to Minimize, maximize, whatever [00:48] hi i want to get full disk encryption but i don't have a cd burner is there a way to run the alternate installer from a usb drive [00:48] is there any good tool for organizing a collection of reserach papers (right now, it's a bunch of pdfs sitting in a directory -- i'd like to be able to link and annotate them) [00:48] LjL, im gonna try fsck [00:48] well if all else fails you could install a really small system and debootstrap a install on encrypted system [00:48] good luck [00:49] coolkehon: ive had the alt installer work from usb, ive installed via netbootin [00:49] unetbootin I mean. :) [00:50] we are picking up a quantum waveform effect [00:50] does anyone else think plesk sucks? [00:51] Hi all. I tried to use pysdm to get an automount of my NTFS, but now when I plug a flash drive in it won't show up in Nautilus. How do I fix this? [00:51] how do i reload etc/fstab if i've just edited it? [00:51] gui7: sudo mount -a [00:51] lstarnes, thx [00:51] has anyone used ssmtp? [00:52] Bondy: every gui for a server does [00:52] why by default ubuntu 9.10 doesnt' create /dev/video* ? [00:52] !anyone | caseys [00:52] caseys: 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? [00:52] Dr_Willis, were you able to make an encrypted lvm install [00:52] lstarnes, i dont think it worked [00:52] i've driver for cam loaded: http://pastebin.com/m5d1fbe22 [00:52] Dr_Willis, and which version of ubuntu were you using [00:53] gui7: why not? [00:53] coolkehon: wasent me.. I never use lvm, and i never use encrypted..... :) [00:53] virtx: /dev/videoX is only created if a compatible device is present... [00:53] i been trying to config ssmtp with probems [00:53] Dr_Willis, well which version of the alternate install did you get to work? [00:53] i was wondering if anyone happened to use a zotac mag with ubuntu. i am wondering whether wireless lan works or not - or at least which chip it is using. google offered some atheros chip, just wanted to be sure [00:53] are there any tools for converting pdfs to images? [00:53] i think it would be better to talk to someone who as used ssmtp [00:54] optimizer, use the gimp [00:54] optimizer: apt-cache search pdf2 [00:54] coolkehon: i dont recal if it was 9.10 i tested or 9.04 - Im pretty sure i got 9.04 workign with it once. [00:54] virtx: Can you pastebin the output of dmesg? [00:54] i installed the xubuntu desktop. decided i didn't like it, but when i uninstalled xubuntu-desktop, all the recommended progs are still installed, like the xubuntu spash screens, abiword etc. is there an easy way to uninstall all the xubuntu progs easily? [00:54] lstarnes, i don't know, but i changed the device name in fstab and then ran your command and nothing happenned [00:54] I'm formatting a new 1.5tb drive using G-parted [00:54] its making me pick a partition table [00:54] minimec: http://pastebin.com/f5f921a48 [00:54] I want to make it EXT4 eventually [00:55] lstarnes, but ive managed to do what i wanted so far so thx anyway :) [00:55] should i format to msdod? [00:55] I have a problem after I log in the screen goes blank for 5 secs and then i get a clear box and then it becomes normal How do i fix this!? [00:55] minimec: is a integrated webcam [00:55] !puregnome | hvgotcodes [00:55] hvgotcodes: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [00:55] hvgotcodes: Hold, I'll get you a link. [00:55] hvgotcodes: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [00:55] rahduke: please try to keep your questions on only one line. msdos is good for the partition table on that [00:55] minimec: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller [00:55] hvgotcodes: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [00:55] tbh if you cant het through an ubuntu install stick with windows [00:56] get* [00:56] hvgotcodes: Look at "aptitude show xubuntu-desktop" -- Notice the packages. Copy and paste them so you can purge them. [00:56] has anyone gotten Ubuntu bootable on a USB formatted using NTFS? [00:56] Bondy: but can everyone get through a windows install? [00:56] who programe with gtk or qt [00:57] kinja-sheep, thanx [00:57] git__: Not sure thats doable. I dont think grub, or syslinux, or grub2 can read ntfs. if grub2 could read ntfs. then it would be doable i belive [00:57] kinja-sheep, ive removed some by hand; hopefully that wont matter [00:58] grub can read ntfs, however you really need to know what you are doing to make it work [00:58] hvgotcodes: That won't matter. xubuntu-desktop is a virtual metapackage that points to all packages. [00:59] kinja-sheep, ok thanx [00:59] about to fire [00:59] virtx: google for 'ubuntu 0402:5602' Your not the only one having problems unfortunately... [00:59] what is the button to boot into text only optoins [01:00] Hi all. I tried to use pysdm to get an automount of my NTFS, but now when I plug a flash drive in it won't show up in Nautilus. How do I fix this? [01:00] dannek7, boot a recovery session from grub [01:00] kinja-sheep, thanx that command is kicking ass [01:00] I have a problem after I log in the screen goes blank for 5 secs and then i get a clear box and then it becomes normal How do i fix this!? [01:00] for a text base install your better off installing from the minimal [01:01] hvgotcodes: Great. Glad to hear that. :) [01:01] I have a linux vm. I need to increase the size of the HD as I am out of space and the VM crashes after login due to it being out of space. I increased the size of the physical VM using VMworkstation, how do I get the VM to see the increased size? [01:01] then again depends what you want to configure for a server would be ok but if you want a desktop not really [01:03] anybody know if there is a limit on the size of a luks keyfile? [01:03] dannek7, I think you need to edit the "machine profile" in the vm to see a bigger drive , which vm are you using ? ask in their channel [01:05] hey minimec now its 100% solved [01:05] minimec, it was a desktop shortcut in my ~/.local/share/applications [01:05] minimec, and the webcam also works :) [01:05] wolter: What was the problem with the webcam? [01:05] minimec, I don't know.. I just restarted the computer and it worked [01:06] wolter: Happy you ;) [01:06] kmyst: If the manual does not say anything, you could make 16TiB keyfile (the limit of ext4 filesystem for a single file). [01:06] i am still having printing issues here, i would appreciate it if somebody could help me... [01:06] does anybody know alot about printers [01:07] just like windows sometimes a reboot can sort it [01:07] I have an unusual problem - when I switch to "normal" or "extra" visual effects, some widgets don't display correctly. For example, checkboxes and some lists. Reverting back to "none" fixes it. I'm on karmic. [01:07] kinja-sheep: i didn't spot anything specific...but thru tinkering i got it working with a 512 byte file but it doesn't with a 2k file...go figure [01:08] I'm guessing it's an nvidia/compiz problem, but not sure where to start [01:08] kinja-sheep: plus everybody and their uncle seems to have opinions on how to generate a random key file [01:08] Hi. I have an external PCI sound card (VIA Envy24PT) and it seems I can't use it under ubuntu - I just get device busy when I try to cat /dev/dsp, lsof | grep /dev/dsp doesn't report anything. Anyone would know what to do? [01:08] probably your gfx card drivers sixteen the one thing ive always had probs with Linuxx [01:09] Bondy: yeah, that's my guess to. Perhaps something went wrong during my upgrade to karmic [01:10] Hi all. I tried to use pysdm to get an automount of my NTFS, but now when I plug a flash drive in it won't show up in Nautilus. How do I fix this? [01:10] kmyst: The keyfile could be anything -- It could be your favorite movie ISO. You should make sure the file is read-only to ensure that it's not going to get written over anytime soon. [01:11] whens the next lts release due? [01:11] kinja-sheep: i know :) i just can't wrap my mind around why a tiny file works and a "larger" one doesn't [01:12] kmyst: Could be something wrong with the commands or you forget to add it or such. I don't know. I'm not certain. [01:13] kinja-sheep: perhaps [01:13] any reason why , in the source list of repos, partner should not be selected? [01:14] I got problem when installing ubuntu alternate from usb and from disk win xp [01:14] sixtila: You either select it or you don't select it. There are no "should not" [01:14] sixtila: Do you think that they put an entry in the sources.list, if they don't want you to use it? [01:15] i was wonderin they could be like facebook apps who do mischief behing the scene [01:15] is there anyone success installing ubuntu alternate from usb and hard drive? [01:16] I tried a while ago but failed [01:16] how to i disable UXA in 9.10 for use with 845gv intel graphics? i had to add i915.modeset=0 to make ti show graphics after grub... any suggestions? [01:16] But a friend of mine claimed that she did. [01:16] how safe it is to resize an NTFS partition with Ubuntu Live CD 8.10 64 bit? [01:17] agusj: Somebody was in here earlier asking the same thing. Dr_Willis suggested unetbootin -- Try that. [01:17] chuy_max should be fine, i have done it, [01:18] How do I export my list of installed packages to a txt file? [01:18] silare: why would you want that? [01:18] !clone | silare [01:18] silare: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [01:18] or what are you trying to achiieve [01:18] /join #bugzilla [01:18] basically I get X with i915.modeset but it's still very slow [01:18] sorry [01:18] when it wasn't before on 9.04 [01:18] will excessive seeding on a bittorrent client slow down my Internet connection? [01:18] xbmc live cd that is [01:19] eltume: yes [01:19] Spear: I'm doing a reinstall soon. And my memory is about as reliable as a goldfish's. [01:19] I have a web cam and a tv tuner whose device drivers are fighting each other as to which gets /dev/video0 and which gets /dev/video1. How do I control the order the devices are loaded, or how can I add a delay between the startup of one vs the other? If I can't control the order is there kernel command line options I can use, or should I blacklist one and load it manually. [01:19] kinja-sheep: Thanks. [01:19] yeah, but thanks anyway minimec [01:19] silare: surelly you'll know what you need when you miss it :P [01:19] is it true, the more one seed, the slow one's internet connection becomes? [01:19] Spear: True. But I don't wanna' realize halfway into it "Oh crap. I'm missing _______. T_T" [01:20] eltume: yes of course. [01:20] silare: just open another terminal window and install it :p [01:20] or use synaptic... [01:20] w/e [01:20] spear, thank you [01:20] can anyone help XenoPhoenix and I with our intex gfx problem [01:21] This is wat i hate the most about FF: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." [01:21] eltume: limit your upstream bandwidth in your torrent client to about 80% of your max upstream from your ISP [01:21] eltume: No problem, Bittorrent normally has a high connection count which will slow you down more than the bandwith being used [01:21] eltume: "sudo killall firefox" [01:21] eltume: that will prevent slowing your downstream usage [01:22] i put it at 100 KB/s [01:22] see that's the thing i love about linux [01:23] can I have a bash script to extract multi-parts archives rar, single archives rar, single archives zip in one directory? [01:23] or just the command string [01:23] If something annoys you like popups every damn time you login than you can remove it. I love the flexibility [01:23] !netsplit [01:23] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:24] woh, why is the ubuntu irc CROWDED, ? === calicofires is now known as calico [01:24] 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. [01:24] eltume, because lots of silly people try to use ubuntu and have silly questions [01:25] Lantizia: whats wrong with the standard ubuntu disk [01:25] Spear, it misses some dell customizations [01:25] Lantizia: also, dell will send you recovery disks free if you ask them on live chat [01:25] Lantizia: but you can pay me if you want ;-) [01:25] Spear, not including the extra bits... already asked [01:25] I usually use the number of people on irc to calculate a distros popularity and so far ubuntu is OFF the chart.!!! [01:25] Spear, so you have an inspiron lappy with the original ubuntu 8.10 untouched from delivery? [01:25] eltume: it is slow due to the holidays [01:26] Lantizia: looks like you can download it here http://en.community.dell.com/wikis/linux/ubuntu-8-10-dell-factory-recovery-iso.aspx [01:26] eltume: it's because Ubuntu is almost perfect;-) [01:26] Lantizia: A few years back my sister needed the recovery disks for her inspiron but hers came with XP media center + dell customisations [01:26] and they posted her replacements [01:26] Lantizia: surely the dell mods are a pain rather than a pleasure [01:26] somebody with my command? [01:27] ALMOST, if it came with the mintTools then it would be perfect, lol. Anyway that's why the mint repo is there for: packages.mint.com [01:27] Spear, they offer the recovery CD's on the dell linux wiki ... but not including the lindvd or fluendo [01:28] Spear, I never made a recovery disc when I had ubuntu on it at the beginning - that version of the cd has the extras like that on it === mau_restor is now known as mau_rextor === Bilge_ is now known as Bilge [01:28] one thing I'll never understand about Ubuntu is that it's irc is flooded but Linux Mint's irc (the people on it) are more responsive [01:29] eltume, it all comes down to silly people... less silly people in mint since mint is less popular thus the people in there haven't learnt to tune out silly people as much as the people in here [01:29] !automate [01:29] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [01:30] eltume: this is normal [01:30] lantizia, what do you consider silly people? === matt_ is now known as Guest42695 [01:30] eltume, however go in to the debian channel on oftc and you'll get a response... you'll get a response probably telling you that you are silly :) [01:30] at least ubuntu and mint arn't usually rude === krisDouglas is now known as KrisDouglas [01:30] but I like how rude debian is :) [01:31] :3 [01:31] Hello everyone [01:31] * NotAPuff waves to alberto. [01:31] How are you doing? [01:31] eltume: people who use ubuntu - they're most ex-windows users. that is all [01:31] evening alberto [01:31] doing bad with the installation of my webcam :) [01:31] Lantizia, debian is not the rudest. Wait to you meet the maintainer of the Kanotix distro. [01:32] Does anybody know something about tv tuners? [01:32] I was such a n00b and he was so mean to me that I almost gave up linux because of him. [01:32] alberto, /me good. [01:32] alberto: they tune tv's..... [01:32] eltume, everyone on IRC usually needs a thick skin :P [01:32] can I have a bash script to extract multi-parts archives rar, single archives rar, single archives zip in one directory? or just the command will do. [01:32] I can't make my Hauppauge HVR-1100 work on Ubuntu Karmic [01:32] I'm desperate [01:32] eltume, you should try the less strict networks like efnet and undernet lol [01:32] nomnex: allready done.. check the 'unp' command ? [01:32] I've got to this point I don't know what to do, excepto downgrading to Jaunty [01:32] alberto, I could! [01:33] nomnex: or do you want to clarify the tricky part? [01:33] Lantizia Really? [01:33] Lantizia How? [01:33] they work out the box [01:33] Dr_Willis: clarify [01:33] that huge list of people joining and quitting #ubuntu is exasperating me!

[01:34] eltume: thats why i turn off parts/joins. :) well weechat has 'smart' part/join filters [01:34] Hauppauge HVR-1100 [01:34] Lantizia I mean, mythtv does not find any channels [01:34] Dr_Willis: Thanks [01:34] Lantizia I've tried loads of things [01:34] alberto, this using mythbuntu? [01:34] nomnex: im not sure if it does rar's but i think it does [01:35] Lantizia No, just mythtv [01:35] i need a really cheap SATA NAS enclosure, anyone got any tips? [01:35] Lantizia How do I tune dvb-t with totem? [01:35] rahduke, Raidsonic [01:35] Dr_Willis: It does:) [01:35] alberto, just look on the ubuntu wiki - it's all there [01:35] rahduke: Found one on sale for like $30 last xmas... :) [01:35] Lantizia: it just needs to handle my home network, 2tb drive [01:35] Lantizia Thank you [01:35] Tired of those feral negroid beasts and their monkeyshines?

[01:37] rahduke: Im not even using mine at the moment. some of them have to have drivers taht are not in the normal kernels. so thats is somthing to watch out for [01:37] if i have ubuntu installed with one 512mb chip and its using 128mb for video memory, its running slow as hell, using a lot of swap, so im getting a new 1GB ram stick, BUT... should i put the 1gb in the first slot so it will use it first, or leave the 512 in the first slot.. will it even affect anything either way? [01:37] Dr_Willis: so its not something that is just PnP? [01:37] rule of thumb, bigger closest to the CPU (slot0) [01:37] to tos- [01:37] tos_, depends on your motherboard [01:37] tos_ [01:37] Lantizia Why doesn't mythtv work, by the way? [01:38] its a emachines amd sempron [01:38] tos_: at one time - you had to do things in pairs.. but that depends on teh mb/ram type [01:38] using 9.10 64bit [01:38] alberto, don't ask me - no idea... works for me but I use mythbuntu and it configured everything for me with mythtv [01:38] tos_ I would get a few gig, and really reap the benefits of x64 [01:38] rahduke: depends on what kind of 'nas' it is.. The one i had. with the drivers actually appeared as a 'local' disk. I could even run gparted on it. [01:38] tos_, it's not an OS issue, you should check the manual for your motherboard [01:38] just want it to be as efficient as possible... heheh [01:38] Dr_Willis: thats what i'm looking for, do u remember the brand? [01:38] Lantizia Are you on Karmic? === Xjs|moonf is now known as Xjs|moonshine [01:39] alberto, yes [01:39] tos_ should work in either slot fine, in summary [01:39] rahduke: Not really 'ndas' perhaps. [01:39] tos_, then get as much RAM as your motherboard can handle [01:39] and the right kind [01:39] ok.. [01:39] its 2gb anyway [01:39] Lantizia Should I install mythbuntu, then? [01:39] almost there... [01:39] rahduke: it could do USB and nas. i had issues using it as nas with some filesystems [01:39] alberto, up to you [01:39] Lantizia Where are you from? [01:39] uk [01:39] How old? [01:39] 24 [01:39] rahduke: its a 'netdisk' by 'ndas' [01:39] Girl? [01:39] Boy [01:40] Dr_Willis: wireless? [01:40] rahduke: i just found it in a box. :) i wonder what size HD is even in it. [01:40] alberto, lol why? [01:40] rahduke: Not wireless.. that would be rather slow. [01:40] does ubuntu have a apt-get package for managing virtual servers? [01:40] rahduke: i dont think its GB wired either.. but id get one now a dasys that was at least a GB lan connection === hades_ is now known as Guest71559 [01:40] Dr_Willis: I dont want wireless, but when i googled NDAS thats all i found === tos_ is now known as tos [01:40] I just upgraded to karmic [01:40] tos_, openvz/kvm/vmware/what!?

[01:41] alberto, that might be your gaydar lol [01:41] zoke: Can you boot in recovery mode? what Graphics card do you have? [01:41] Night all [01:41] Lantizia: i see, very cool... where are the prices tho lol [01:41] virtualbox is it the best one, low memory usage? [01:42] I am looking for a duel Gigabit card (PCI not express) that will work with Ubuntu Server... Anyone have one they know works? It would be great if it didn't break the bank too.... [01:42] rahduke, thats the manufacturers site [01:42] jph_ gigabit ethernet im assuming? [01:42] I do not see a prompt [01:42] rahduke, they can be broken into fairly easily... install ssh... bittorrent... nfs and samba support [01:42] yes sorry [01:42] * poot shits [01:42] who sells these things [01:42] * poot takes a shit [01:43] go google and find out [01:43] poot: Please stop [01:43] poot r u on the wi-max?

[01:44] I upgraded from 9.04 just now [01:44] Oh noes [01:45] Zoke:does ubuntu even try to load? [01:45] minimec I have two kernels installed I think [01:45] Do you recommend me any good DVD burning application? [01:45] KrisDouglas I think it loads [01:45] it doesn't show anything to screen [01:45] alberto, movies or data? [01:45] zoke: Oh yes. Its a jaunty --> karmic update.. It's 'esc' ;) [01:45] Both [01:45] minimec I have two kenernels installed [01:45] But preferably data [01:45] which recovery mode do I select ? [01:45] alberto, well you don't need anything special for data... the one that comes with ubuntu will do fine [01:46] brassero is good, k3b is good, etc.. alberto [01:46] alberto, I can't remember if it's gnomebaker or brasero - I forget [01:46] KrisDouglas nice thanks... Now you have use this one or you just know it works [01:46] zoke: the newer one [01:46] jph_ it just works [01:46] zoke: the 'older' one is probably the last working jaunty kernel, the newer one the default karmic kernel. [01:46] jph_ i have about 4 of them [01:46] anyway I have to get out of silly land [01:46] !netsplit [01:46] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[01:47] Lantizia: then oftc gets attacked [01:47] IdleOne, oh so people attack Freenode solely because Ubuntu is on it?! [01:47] minimec yes [01:47] IdleOne, thats very big headed of you :P [01:48] Lantizia: it's a big reason yup [01:48] selecting the newer kernel results in the problem of a blank screen [01:48] selecting the older kernel appears to be fine [01:48] Will you also please tell me how the hell I could install KDE? [01:48] good morning everybody [01:48] zoke: Yeah try that. I will be here for another 30 min or so ;) [01:48] minimec, I have booted properly with the older kernel [01:48] it seems the newerkernel is damaged [01:48] IdleOne, you've proof of this then? the attackers intentions have been made clear somewhere? [01:48] Excuse my english [01:49] Lantizia: this channel itself often gets attacked [01:49] Lantizia: Please take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [01:49] Hi: I have my music collection on a Ubuntu 9.04 computer with two extra hard drives that hold the music - essentially a main drive and a back up that I use an rsync cron script to back up drive A to drive B every night - you know, an incremental update and sync. Anyway, the computer says there are an unspecified number of "unreadable" files on each hard drive. There must be some kind of... [01:49] ...utility I can use to scan the files - there are almost 17,000 songs and the total number of files listed is 17,800 so maybe there are 800 "unreadable". Sorry this post is so long. [01:49] Flannel, yes musn't interrupt the many thousands of ex-users in a panic [01:49] *ex-windows-users [01:50] I take it there is a problem with the network. [01:51] zoke: I personally recommend a clean karmic install for the '/' partition, keeping the /home partition untouched. The reason is simple. There were a lot of changes in karmic (grub2, ext4, kms for intel and ati cards) All these changes were made regarding the next LTS version of Ubuntu 10.04. Do the step now, and you wount have problems with upgrading to lucid... [01:51] :)) [01:51] can ECC memory be used on a regular desktop PC [01:51] i have a question that hopefully someone can answer... my gf has ubuntu on her laptop and now when she tries to stop it it says something about a "kernel panick" and then just stops there so we can not even get on ubuntu [01:51] tos_ depends on memory compatibility gun generally, no [01:52] ah [01:52] ok [01:52] gun was supposed to be "but" === Jamed_ is now known as Guest18752 [01:52] my sound is not working anymore after upgrading to 9.10 [01:52] I haven't had much experience with ECC mem bc none of the mbs I've used accepted it [01:52] ecc is half the price of non-ecc that sucks [01:52] its usually used in servers [01:53] iirc [01:53] in general memory is cheap. [01:53] you should have been around when it was >$1 per MB [01:53] that was fun [01:53] old format memory is expensive [01:53] ah i was [01:53] in the 90s [01:53] :/ [01:54] how old is old [01:54] ok so then you know [01:54] my sound is not working anymore after upgrading to 9.10 and somehow it can only be configured to dummy output which doesn't play any sound at all [01:54] yes i had my 286 packard bell [01:55] i have a question that hopefully someone can answer... my gf has ubuntu on her laptop and now when she tries to stop it it says something about a "kernel panick" and then just stops there so we can not even get on ubuntu. anyone have some idea what has happened? === fd is now known as Guest94470 [01:56] rhixcs, You're going to have to get more info on the error... That's too vague for me! :P [01:56] hello, I am moving to new notebook system, is there a way to export my current repositories and trusted keys to the new one? [01:56] ubuntu 9.10 completely disabled my audio can someone help me turn it back on? === Guest18752 is now known as Jamed [01:57] let me check again edbian im just relating what she was telling me [01:58] I actually told my gf to use windows for now, till we're living together, i wouldnt be able to support it [01:58] hey im not sure where to ask this [01:59] shoot rsc___ [01:59] rsc___, just ask it someone will answer [01:59] says "kernal panic - not syncing: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)" she has dual boot she also has windows but cant do shit with it so she tried ubuntu and it worked earlier then just stopped working [01:59] my sound is not working anymore after upgrading to 9.10 and somehow it can only be configured to dummy output which doesn't play any sound at all [01:59] if im making an app and it's version 0.3.5, and i make a small change to it (to prepare it for version 0.4) but not officially release it yet, what's its version number? [01:59] haha, i know its not an ubuntu question, but again i wasnt sure who to ask. [02:00] I tried a while ago but failed [02:00] not quite v0.3.5, but not quite v0.4. hmmm, v0.3.5+ then? or v0.4 beta? [02:00] 0,3,3-1 [02:00] ah. [02:00] oh yeah. [02:00] 0.3.5-1 [02:00] :P === Guest94470 is now known as sdajhfsldag [02:01] 0.3.5-1, rsc___ [02:01] beaten lol [02:01] thanks. [02:01] :) [02:01] so what would merit a 0.3.5-2? [02:01] Guest94470, copy /etc/apt/sources.list to a text file on desktop or something [02:01] is there a way to print the time until a windows domain password needs to be changed from linux? (this gets printed when its getting close to needs to be changed and one logs in using windows) [02:01] if 0.3.5-1 makes it out to the wild perhaps? [02:01] anyone know where i can go to get help for that? [02:02] rhixcs, you tried recovery mode? [02:02] rhi, you need to google that error... and maybe make a recovery boot disc or something [02:02] what can i use to put music on my ipod [02:02] recommend any wifi-n routers with linux firmware? [02:02] where can i find a recovery boot disk tos? [02:03] for ubuntu [02:03] 9.1 [02:03] ubuntu 9.10 completely disabled my audio can someone help me turn it back on? [02:03] c1h23r456i78910 best thing i use is rythmbox [02:03] rhixcs uhhh use the install cd? [02:03] c1h23r456i78910: i had the best luck with rhythmbox [02:03] KrisDouglas : i am confused as to how to do that [02:03] c1h23r456i78910 its drag and drop from what i can tell [02:03] works for me [02:03] ok i can give that a try lmao she is going to be so pissed again thanks all :) [02:03] iFire`: asus linksys... Check the homepage of openwrt for compatible devices... [02:04] minimec right now I'm on tomato :/ [02:04] on an asus, but it's wifi-g [02:04] rhixcs, well the cd u used to install use that or a Live CD [02:04] and boot from live cd [02:04] to fix it [02:04] rhixcs Something we have to get used to, i'm afriad [02:04] i dont kinow, that what i would do tho [02:04] :P [02:04] iFire`: I have also an old asus wl-500 deluxe ;) [02:04] this computer is getting like 80kilobytes/s >.< [02:05] the cd i used to install was one that we download from the ubuntu website [02:05] minimec I have a Asus 520 GU :P [02:05] yeah that 1. when u boot from it, it should have an option for recovery, or live filesystem [02:05] to boot from [02:06] iFire`: I love these devices. I also use it as printer server, but I only use the oleg firmware... [02:06] minimec I like the design of tomato [02:06] i would like to mount a nfs-share via the terminal. i accomplished setting the rsize and wsize. mounting works so far. but i'd like to able to use this share as normal user. i tried the mount options user und users without success. it keeps telling me, permission denied. which option am i missing? [02:06] so it should have a recovery on that disk? [02:06] iFire`: I guess we are offtopic ;) [02:06] yeah it should be like windows right [02:06] lol [02:06] My homedirectory setting in FTP is not getting implemented.All users are getting root access [02:07] minimec hey I went out and bought a laser black and white printer that came with a 4000 page of toner and supports 8000 pages :P [02:07] cccccvgbhhhhhh [02:07] she has tried to use recovery from the boot menu without the disk is that the same? [02:07] as'pid [02:07] Argh [02:07] * NotAPuff lifts kitty off keyboard. [02:07] ubuntu 9.10 completely disabled my audio can someone tell me how to turn it back on? [02:08] iFire`: nice ;) [02:08] rhixcs, The recovery mode on the grub boot menu is not the same :) [02:08] booksbuggy check first to see if it's just on the wrong device or the volume is muted [02:08] alrighty then so i will give the disk a shot thanks all [02:08] not muted [02:08] and it doesn't seem to detect anything [02:08] rhixcs, wait! [02:08] still here [02:08] rhixcs, Explain the problem to me again in more detail [02:08] for a min [02:09] somehow it is set on dummy output [02:09] and i can't change it [02:09] she has dual boot when she picks ubuntu it freaks out then says something about a kernal panick [02:09] rhixcs, It won't even start? [02:09] and then wont start [02:10] My homedirectory setting in FTP is not getting implemented.All users are getting root access [02:10] just stays on that screen [02:10] does anyone know of a simple bill of materials type software [02:10] rhixcs, Try the recovery mode and see if you can get in that way. Kernel panics are equivalent to the windows blue screen of death [02:10] rhixcs, They are however, much more rare in linux! :) [02:11] this is the second time this week for her [02:11] what software need i to install to use windows networks? [02:11] i reinstalled it last time [02:11] jillsmitt: I guess you want 'samba' [02:11] rhixcs, It doesn't freak every time? [02:12] i installed it earlier this week had the same problem so i just reinstalled it for her [02:12] then it happened again 30 min ago [02:12] could be the drive [02:12] iFire`, it doesn't even detect any hardware [02:13] rhixcs, But it doesn't happen every time she boots? [02:13] no not everytime but once it does i cant get in [02:13] tip. nvidia 195.30 beta provides incredible boost in 2D acceleration [02:13] rhixcs, I suggest an older version of ubuntu [02:13] ok [02:13] anone no how to check where or not a gparted format is going horribly rong? [02:13] rhixcs, Maybe just one version old or the most recent LTS [02:14] rahduke, what do you mean? [02:14] booksbuggy: check your lspci output for your sound card and look in launchpad for a regression for your card. You are probably not the only one having that problem. [02:14] i've been formatting a 1.5tb drive to EXT4 for about an hour or so [02:14] alrighty thanks edbian got to go now loseing net thanks all :D [02:14] i dunno if it should take this long or if somethin is wrong [02:14] rahduke, How long has it been? What are you doing? [02:15] rahduke, it can take a while [02:15] its been over an hour now [02:15] rahduke, What are you attempting to do?? [02:15] earlier someone mentioned that the drive i bought has gparted issues, i couldnt find anything on gogole [02:15] im trying to format a 1.5tb seagate barracuda to EXT4 [02:15] fresh out the box [02:15] minimec: need i to restart my ubuntu when samba installation will be done? [02:16] rahduke, That might take a minute... 1.5 tb is big! :) [02:16] jillsmitt: u can open a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [02:16] jillsmitt: normally not. It is started as a deamon and activated after install. [02:16] okay, and when i can browse win32 networks? [02:17] sorry about that [02:17] i also have pidgin issues [02:17] Its okay [02:18] i forgot who was helping me.... the 1.5TB gparted format [02:18] rahduke, I'm here for ya [02:18] How do i backup my home folder using "tar jxvf myuser.tar.bz2 /home/myuser" if it has not copiable open files? [02:18] jillsmitt: You should be able to see your win shares with the file manager (I don't use samba) ... [02:18] edbian: lol thanks man [02:18] im saying its been an hour and change [02:18] rahduke, No problem. I suspect that everything is fine. What do you mean that your drive has gparted issues?? [02:19] edbian: A minute? More likely 30 minutes, I think. Or more [02:19] kinja-sheep, ha ha. Yeah [02:19] edbian: i was in here earlier and someone named Illness said he found alot of outstanding issues for the 1.5TB drive and gparted on the web [02:19] Misantropo: what's a 'not copiable open file' ? [02:19] Misantropo: you want tar cvjf... logging your user out should close all files [02:19] i have searched and havent found anything in particular yet [02:19] jtaji, right, cvjf [02:20] rahduke, mhmmm IDK, there are other disc formatting programs out there. Does gparted show any progress? [02:20] jtaji, i don't want to logout, that's the problem [02:20] ok so if i am on a DSL connection, and I have an 8block of static IPS, i want to make virtual server each with 1 of public static ips, what is the best way to let ubuntu 9.10 do that? the DSL router is a 3800 2Wire-ATT model [02:20] Can I get Ext4 support on 8.10? What's the best way? e2fsprogs syas it has ext4 support but when I try to mount an ext4 HD from the live CD it says my system does not support the format and I'm a little confused. [02:20] edbian: thats what i was hoping to find, some kind of terminal command that would show the actual progress because gparted doesnt [02:20] rahduke: I partitioned my 2TB. It worked fine. I didn't use Gparted though. [02:20] Chakravanti your e2fsprogs may have it but it sounds like the kernel driver does not [02:20] kinja-sheep, How long did it take? [02:21] Bondy, thats not a hard link [02:21] edbian: Like I said, 30min or more. I didn't remember exactly because I know that'll take awhile. [02:21] When does Ubuntu get ext4 support on the liveCD? [02:21] kinja-sheep: which route did u go to formaT? [02:21] rahduke, I don't think you'll be able to see the progress that way. If you really feel it has been too long you can also just abort and try again with a different partition editor. If the hdd is empty it shouldn't matter right? [02:21] rahduke: The command route. [02:22] Chakravanti, It already does in 9.10 [02:22] edbian: i would assume it wouldnt mess it up, but this thing cost me a pretty penny and I can't return it so i dont wanna create bad sectors or anything like that right off the bat [02:22] edbian: okay, i was kinda hoping 9.04 has it because I have a 9.04 CD but not a 9.10 =P [02:22] hey can't get burn to work in cccm [02:22] rahduke: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267869 [02:23] rahduke: This seems okay. [02:23] ccsm [02:23] kinja-sheep: thanks [02:23] Hi everyone. I can't get winff to work properly. When I press the convert button, a terminal window opens up and closes a second later. [02:23] rahduke: If you want ext4, use mkfs.ext4 instead of mkfs.ext3 [02:23] It doesn't seem to convert [02:23] kinja-sheep: i will try that next [02:24] can any one suggest what is needed to play mp3 files with rhythmbox? [02:24] I have lots of small issues with Karmic, this release may have been pushed out a bit premature [02:24] does ubuntu have a way to load balance multiple internet connections, 1 wired, 1 usb, 1 wireless? [02:24] tos_, advanced routing [02:25] sync3times; have you used it? [02:25] tos_, only some test cases to bandwidth limit a connection. Its not what you would call...friendly. Not at first glance [02:26] tos_, you have 3 connections to the internet? [02:26] im wanting to use my cellphone inet, dsl, and a nearby wifi on a server for incoming and only use the dsl for outgoing [02:26] yes. [02:27] tos_, hmm [02:27] Looks 9.04 has ext4! I hope this si a live CD I have =P Thanks guys! [02:28] tos_, sounds unlikely [02:28] if I transfer files via sftp to my directory, the permissions are not set correctly (user and group read/write), however if i create a file in the directory the right permissions are set for the user and the group, any idea how to set this on files transfered? [02:28] just noticed while gaming, i can use my mouse and keyboard at the same time [02:28] you can do similar things with a proxy, get the proxy to listen to two different ports for up and down [02:28] Hi everyone. I can't get winff to work properly. When I press the convert button, a terminal window opens up and closes a second later. [02:28] Tor? [02:28] some routers can do it too [02:29] yeah i want to make the ubuntu a router itself [02:29] to handle that [02:29] is 1Gb of RAM enought for ubuntu9.10? [02:29] jillsmitt: yes. [02:29] why wouldnt i be able to use and mouse + keyboard at the same time - while gamin, or copy-paste [02:29] jill, yea i have 300 its working fine... [02:29] jillsmitt that is plenty [02:30] jkerr_: plenty? [02:30] tos_, so if a packet comes in on cellphone, you want the reply to go out on DSL?

[02:31] yes 512 is good for basic, so 1 gig should do it [02:31] one guy was interested linux system and he wants to try, he gave me his notebook and will try to install ubuntu9.10 now [02:32] 1 gig is more than enough [02:32] I have never had more than 512 [02:32] i just have four.. and never tried 1Gb installations [02:32] What is it that you want to do with your system?

[02:35] the routing is so complicated... so if i get a ip of 75.1.75.1 from isp for DSL modem... my router is assigned 10.0.0.1, using DMZ it gives my Ubuntu-server the public ip of 75.1.75.1, and my isp assignes me a block of ips 76.199.50.102-109 or whatever, can i make the ubuntu virtually manage all of those ip's? or just one?

[03:05] unop, can you explain what that command does exactly? [03:05] edbian: Well, I have 193 process running right now. I suppose if I tried, I could shave more. Also, extended battery cell is nice. [03:06] So, NetworkManager suddenly refuses to connect to multiple wired interfaces. [03:06] ndroftheline, find has an -exec option where you can pass filenames to commands ... here we pass filenames ({}) to mv [03:06] kinja-sheep: It's a netbook and there is no extended battery. Also it only lasts 1 hr [03:06] -f will overwrite, if you dont specify -i or -f it will make a new file and append something to it, not overwrite [03:06] As in, I connect to eth1, it drops eth0. Why does it do that? [03:06] edbian: What netbook?

Those minimalist freaks! :P [03:07] ae86-drifter, is your mv aliased to something? [03:07] That's what I see from today. [03:07] unop, hrm...only other issue is that this appears to have moved all the jpg's from all my ~ subdirecories too. was that an expected behavior? [03:08] unop, i just wanted to move the jpgs in the top directory [03:08] kinja-sheep: thanks! :) [03:08] ndroftheline, that is expected yes.. if you want to only operate on the top directory, you need to add -maxdepth 1 [03:08] unop, no... [03:08] I heard there is a 64 bit flash available for linux now. Anybody know where to find it. The flash in the ubuntu repo wasn't working for me [03:08] unop, got it.

[03:09] edbian: hey man, going on 2 and a half hours now on this format... whattya think? [03:10] unop, what is the -f (force) option for then? [03:11] according to --help : -f, --force do not prompt before overwriting [03:11] ndroftheline, du *.jpg | sort -n [03:12] from my experience when i use mv without any switch it adds a ~ if it already exists [03:12] rahduke: I think you should quit [03:12] wow [03:12] rahduke: That's just my opinion though! [03:12] unop, ok so i've got something like 38k files [03:12] unop, how do i get the number of files?

" does that sound right? [03:18] ae86-drifter, -f is helpful when you permissions dictate that mv prompt you for overwriting, in which case, it doesn't. e.g. the destination file is not owned by you but you are still able to write to the directory [03:20] what folder do packages install to by defult and can I change it? [03:20] rahduke: Well, the -c is for "Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system. If this option is specified twice, then a slower read-write test is used instead of a fast read-only test." [03:20] david___, why do you want to change it? === ryu2 is now known as ryu [03:20] rahduke: Are you formatting a 1.5TB drive that is an internal drive to your computer or is this an external drive connected via a USB cable?

I'm not sure they've released for Karmic [03:23] david___, no u cant [03:24] search for compiling source code on google [03:24] so how would I get the package? [03:24] david___: you would have to put at least /usr on your external.. not recommended.. you should really just use your external for data [03:24] its not a package really, its source code [03:24] My laptop is reporting that my batter has only 50% of its capacity. Why?? [03:24] david___: and I really don't see how compiling source code helps your issue in the slightest [03:24] !netsplit [03:24] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[03:37] emes: the alternate cd [03:37] !minimal | emes [03:37] emes: 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).

[03:49] luisgmarine: fstab is for mounted partitions, menu.lst controls the grub boot options :) [03:49] MikeChelen: you can't do that on the newer releases.. because that file is dynamically regenerated on each boot. <--- luisgmarine [03:49] Hey guys, need a bit of help.

[03:56] armydad92: weird, the "Install..." button loads an open file dialog for me [03:56] me update??? [03:56] hey guys, I have ubuntu 9.10 with grub from ubuntu 9.04; installing another OS took over the bootloader though, so I'd like to install a new GRUB from a liveUSB, but 9.10 doesn't have grub 1 anymore... what can I do? [03:56] scunizi_: this is the layout of my partitions, / = 15GB (ext3), /boot = 512MB (ext3), /home = 50GB (ext3), I also have a swap of 2GB, and 3 ntfs partitions (one for XP, the others are for programs and backups) [03:56] jabberd2 setup with self-signed SSL certificate, having problems with clients and SSL Handshake failed, I got standard 5222 connection unencrypted to work, but not SSL [03:57] kinja i found it, thanks very very much have a nice 2010, lets reboot to teste, bye [03:57] scunizi_: yeah [03:57] scunizi_: if I did a reinstall, format / and /boot, and keep /home (and the rest) intact... am I right in thinking that? As I don't want to lose the data inside my home directory... I don't mind losing my settings. [03:58] HazRPG: ok.. should be easy.. on reinstall choose manual partitioning and then name and choose the same partitions you currently have setup.. format only the / .. /boot .. leaving the rest untouched.. [03:58] luis: ok, i'm back. [03:58] should I use jfs on a netbook? I hear it's better for low-ressource machines. or should I stick with ext3? [03:58] luisgmarine: do nothing.. just reboot [03:58] luisgmarine: the changed grub will take effect on boot [03:58] when i was updating my kenranal my computer shutdown and when ever i start my computer it gose to the shell mode [03:59] HazRPG, i no longer use "/boot" since grub2 has problems finding it if you have more than one OS, I just have a swap partition, / and /home [03:59] ezra14: what program are you using to chat? [03:59] HazRPG: sorry 'bout that.. I scanned your post and just looked at the partitioning info and not the content.. I ended up just repeating what you mentioned.. which was correct :) [04:00] scunizi_: Cool, that's what I though. [04:00] ezra14: say my full name so I can see it, since x-chat highlights all text with my name on it [04:00] scunizi_: hehe no problem :P [04:00] hey guys, i am running ubuntu 9.10 with grub legacy from 9.04, but installing another os hosed that. i am trying to set it up again from a liveusb, but 9.10 doesnt have grub legacy anymore. what can i do? [04:00] luisgmarine: pidgin, on windows xp. i have ubuntu up right now [04:00] scunizi_: So a reinstall would reset the old configs with the new ones correct? What about redundant ones, how would I rid myself of those? [04:00] ezra14: sweet that works [04:01] sigius, can you boot up to 9.10? [04:01] ezra14: ok, open up terminal and type in "sudo lshw -C network" without the quotes [04:01] HazRPG: well.. it really depends on the programs.. a lot of configs are in your /home partition.. so it really depends on which configs you're talking about. [04:01] sigmab3ta, can you boot up to 9.10? [04:01] mezquitale: Hmmm, I haven't tried grub2 yet (unless its in 9.10's update procedure)... [04:02] mezquitale: should I just merge my /boot and swap together? [04:02] mezquitale: not to the one installed [04:02] HazRPG: no.. you could merge your /boot and / together though [04:03] scunizi_: Couldn't even if I wanted to lol, it's the way the partitions are set up, either its merge /boot with the swap, or merge it with my XP partition lol [04:03] HazRPG: and if you do that then / doesn't need to be any larger then what it is now.. which is pretty big for / [04:03] luisgmarine: ok, i did that, but then it says password for ezra, and it won't let me type right next to it, so i have to press enter, and then it gives me like a second to type in my password, which isn't enough time [04:03] lol [04:03] Does upgrading to 9.10 also upgrade to GRUB 2? [04:03] ezra14: ok when it asks you for the password just type in your regular user password [04:03] scunizi_: yeah I know its pretty big, but I thought 15GB was just to be on the safe side [04:03] HazRPG, if youre going to do a fresh install just get rid of /boot and add the free space to /, if you have everything installed and running just leave it as is and hopefully the bug in grub2 will be fixed soon [04:04] Some_Person: No. [04:04] Some_Person: no it does not, which is why i now have problems [04:04] Some_Person: not automatically unless you do a clean reinstall [04:04] HazRPG: I never go larger then 12 and I typically only use about 6 [04:04] I honestly don't care what I use, because whatever it is, it works perfectly [04:05] luisgmarine: i don't have the opportunity to type anything. it says "password for ezra:" i can't type on this line, so i have to go to the line below it, but then after like a second it says "sorry, try again" [04:05] hi, I installed pykeylogger on my system and i want to remove it. anyone know how to uninstall such a program? [04:05] sigmab3ta, what are your problems? [04:05] i sec to type in password hope its only one letter lol [04:05] scunizi_: yeah, I'm using about 5GB tbh. [04:05] ezra14: that's fine, when you are typing that password you aren't suppose to see anything [04:05] sigmab3ta, what OS's you have installed on your machine and can you boot up to any of those OSes?? youre using grub 2, right?

[04:07] ezra14: did it work?

[04:07] i think i need a command for it [04:08] ezra14: you have aim? [04:08] pykeylogger [04:08] luisgmarine: yea, would that be easier/ [04:08] i only installed it to see if i could [04:08] well [04:08] i could [04:08] ezra14: yeah get rid of all the clutter [04:08] now i dont want it [04:08] no teage what program its probally in syn [04:08] ezra14: let me set my pidgin up, same screen name luisgmarine [04:08] and i could really just fix the problem using a 9.04 livecd instead but i dont want to download one and burn one so if possible id like to be able to work around doing that [04:08] mezquitale: well when I made the partitions, for some reason my swap was made as 1.91GB instead of 2GB... [04:08] syn? [04:08] synaptics pakage manager [04:09] ic [04:09] i looked in the repos for it [04:09] and couldnt find it [04:09] mezquitale: despite putting in the exact value of 2GB on initial install [04:09] ezra14: what's your aim name? [04:09] so im perplexed as to how i uninstall the thing [04:09] hey, where are the grub menu setting stored on grub2? [04:09] go in there than klick all type in the window the program it should come up than follow the directions [04:10] HazRPG: overhead or cylendar size difference.. it's normal [04:10] hey guys, i just finally got the resolution that i want using xrandr, does anyone know how i can do this so i dont have to enter the command everytime i boot in to ubuntu//? [04:10] HazRPG, some space is used to create the partition, you wont actually get 2 gigs of space since you need some of that space to create the filesystem [04:10] scunizi_: yeah I figured as much ;) [04:10] mezquitale: indeed :) [04:10] dt3k, 40_custom is for user specified settings [04:10] what is the program teage? [04:11] whoops [04:11] pykeylogger [04:11] ezra14: you there? [04:11] i have searched on it [04:11] all i can find are ways to install it [04:11] ok go in synamptic package manager and type that in the window its probally there [04:11] mezquitale, scunizi_: my way of looking at it is much like how manufacturers say a HDD is xGB, when really you only get xGiB [04:11] i cant find anyting that tells me how to get rid of it [04:12] teage: mayb sudo apt-get --remove --purge pykeylogger [04:12] * poot dooties [04:12] thanks [04:12] listen to me teage [04:12] i will try that [04:12] HazRPG: yep :) [04:12] mezquitale, is that what I edit to edit boot options? i have like 3 different kernel version in there now. [04:12] scunizi_: I just realise I hadn't replied to you, sorry... the only config I want to keep is icons on my panels (which doesn't matter as I can re-do those anyways), firefox, chrome, pidgin (this one I can also re-do though). [04:12] im listening [04:12] HazRPG: then you're good to go :) [04:12] * poot shjits [04:12] * poot shits [04:12] dt3k, yes [04:13] * poot craps [04:13] luisgmarine: yea === poot is now known as SuperRoach [04:13] scunizi_: sweet, thanks :)... I just wanted to make sure I had it right in my head lol [04:13] dt3k, /etc/grub.d/40_custom [04:13] ic [04:13] luisgmarine: my aim name is ezzyboy426. i just imed you [04:14] scunizi_: I've only really been using linux exclusively for the past 6 months (on and off for about 3-4years) [04:14] hiexpo- you are saying that since i have it installed, that it should show. am i correct? [04:14] scunizi_: still getting to grips with the differences, love using the terminal though... every now and then I find new cool things to do [04:14] ok click system/administration/synaptic package manager than when it opens look at the top left there on top click all than type the name of the program in the window it will come up and be green [04:14] HazRPG: you still have the concepts down pretty good.. 5 yrs here.. and looking at kubuntu.. kde is looking and acting nice [04:14] yes [04:15] mezquitale, weird my 40_custom is empty [04:15] k [04:15] dt3k, that is where you specify your own options [04:15] HazRPG: try living at cli for a while and see what you learn.. mutt for email, elinks, lynx etc for browser and so on [04:15] !netsplit [04:15] than click it and yhan complete removal [04:15] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:15] I just installed ubuntu from a USB stick. I need to reboot to run the installed system. how can I make the USB stick non-bootable? [04:16] I bought tech support from Canonical but I can't find the phone number or email I'm supposed to email to get support from them. [04:16] dooglus_, change the boot order. [04:17] dooglus_: if the system is asking you to reboot then say yes.. after it posts remove the usb stick and let the new system boot.. after that you can plug it back in and use gparted to format and remove the boot flag [04:17] is there a way to check HD for badblocks and mark them during ubuntu install [04:17] scunizi_: See I was introduced to Gnome first (with Red Hat 7 I think it was, we installed it as a project for college when that version had just come out), then saw KDE 3.x a while back, and really didn't like the aesthetics of it [04:17] alex_mayorga: should do that on format.. no need to worry about it. [04:17] when i was updating my kenranal my computer shutdown and when ever i start my computer it gose to the shell mode [04:18] haresh, lolwut? [04:18] HazRPG: that was my impression.. but kde 4.3 is smooth even in a virtualbox vm [04:18] scunizi_: any way to confirm? [04:18] kde :( [04:18] where can i find ".exe" of a program? [04:18] nothing annoys me more then the dotted (or dashed) line around a button or icon for example, and the weird digital clock display just didn't appeal to me [04:18] what is the program [04:18] scunizi_: other tools to keep an eye on my HD [04:18] what paths? === sshc__ is now known as sshc [04:18] here's the problem i'm having. I use 9.04 and everything is great. I just installed 9.10 on my parents computer & the "Login Screen" window [ /usr/sbin/gdmsetup ] and it's not coming up with the familar options such as login screen backgrounds & what themes to use. Any Ideas? [04:18] alex_mayorga: the file systems used in linux are a bit different then ntfs and fat .. in most cases the drives work better [04:18] recmaj what program [04:19] devo: I can't change the boot order [04:19] rhythmbox [04:19] I believe the HD I have is a rapid decay one [04:19] I need halp with Canonical. [04:19] scunizi_: I can't remove the USB stick [04:19] dooglus_, Why not? [04:19] alex_mayorga: with ext3 (not sure about ext4) about every 30 boots the system will check the drive(s) automatically [04:19] devo: it's in Vancouver [04:19] dooglus_: why? [04:19] scunizi_: I'm in England [04:19] dooglus_, what is? [04:19] devo: the memory stick [04:19] dooglus_: anyone at the other location? [04:19] dooglus_, then there is no help for you. [04:19] mybe in music or just type sudo and the name of that program [04:20] scunizi_: yeah I seen the initial release of KDE 4, doesn't look to bad... but it reminds me too much of vista, and so far I've managed to clock up about 2-3hrs maximum of vista time... and that was basically running the laptop, hating it getting drivers to try and nudge back down to XP/ubuntu [04:20] I'll jus hope the laptop won't be unbootable in another mont as it was on win7 [04:20] scunizi_: no, it's unattended [04:20] scunizi_: thanks [04:20] dooglus_: you could leave a screen message to whoever to remove the usb and reboot.. [04:20] devo: there's no way to edit the contents of the stick? [04:20] hiexpo: what in the world are you suggesting? [04:20] karmic is taking 1.10 minutes to load on my netbook...is that normal? [04:20] dooglus_: not while it's mounted.. [04:20] he asked me where the exe of a program was [04:21] dooglus_, use your telekinesis to edit the contents from England. [04:21] pwnedulongtime: are you using the ubuntu remix distro, or a regular ubuntu distro? [04:21] so i siad my be in music or just type sudo and the name of it [04:21] Hapsbanan, regular [04:21] recmajkemi: rhythmbox does not have an exe .. in ubuntu it is called a binary.. in a terminal type which rhythmbox that will show you where the binary is located. for configurations and such most things are your /home/username folder [04:21] HazRPG: you should load up virtualbox and then put the latest kubuntu on it for a test drive.. [04:21] scunizi_: I think if I could just make it unbootable, then reboot, ubuntu will boot from the HDD won't it? [04:22] so linux does not have a folder for programs like "program files" in win? [04:22] dooglus_: if you can do that yes [04:22] recmajkemi, /usr/lib [04:22] recmajkemi, /usr/bin i mean [04:22] scunizi_: can I remount it rw? [04:22] nope, buts its for sure in my system at usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pykeylogger [04:22] scunizi_: I might just do that :) [04:22] dooglus_: no idea.. [04:22] omisunderstood him [04:22] dooglus_: who put it in there to begin with? [04:22] and not showing in package manager [04:22] What is Canonical's phone number? [04:23] hiexpo: why would one need to run a music application with sudo? sudo being incorrect for a graphical application. [04:23] not under installed [04:23] thanks ill try to do it im new to this :) [04:23] i dont understand [04:23] scunizi_: been testing out win7 on virutalBox recently, don't think I can bring myself to ever installing that properly on my machine [04:23] scunizi_: the people who put it there have gone out for the evening [04:23] hdd manufacturers lie in advertising by 2.4% [04:23] the screen went so fast i meant music videos [04:23] dooglus_: at least there is someone :) .. and not just a headless box in a closet in a business someplace [04:24] scunizi_: yup. I'd just like to get it set up is all [04:24] 70 second boot time is way too long right? bootchart > http://picasaweb.google.com/pwnedulongtime/Linux#5420509052589609186 [04:24] get rid of the silly netbook remix, etc. [04:24] dooglus_, When you reboot you don't get to see the BIOS? [04:24] i thought about just deleting the whole directory [04:24] pwnedulongtime: no. [04:24] but im scared i will mess my system [04:24] how bad is it to cancel gparted in the middle of paritioning? [04:24] devo: not from here, no [04:24] *partitioning [04:25] devo: I'm using VNC to see it [04:25] bastidrazor, no? on a dell mini 12? [04:25] pwnedulongtime: I can't read that chart [04:25] lstarnes, magnify [04:25] dooglus_, k. [04:25] "Carlos Spicy Weiner here, go ahead" [04:25] pwnedulongtime: nope, around 1 minute boot times are the norm.. karmic is known for even longer boot times. [04:25] pwnedulongtime: oh, oops [04:26] whathappened teage? [04:26] dooglus_, can't you reformat the flash drive? [04:26] dunno [04:26] dooglus_, fdisk? [04:26] seems like module loading is taking a good chunk of time [04:26] its not showing that its installed [04:26] but it is [04:26] for sure it is [04:26] the screen is way up so what did you find? [04:26] devo: perhaps, but was hoping not to damage its ability to install again in future [04:27] dooglus_, true... This is a problem. Mind bending. [04:27] i think i will delet its directory [04:27] whats the name of it again? [04:27] if i do that [04:27] pykeylogger [04:27] My right control key doesn't work in any apps, is there a way to reset the keyboard? [04:27] quick question, if I wanted to control someone else desktop to help them with a problem, what program would I use? [04:27] pwnedulongtime: Yeah bastidrazor, is right... roughly one min boot time sound correct. [04:27] I tried deleting the layout and recreating it, still doesn't work [04:27] any idea what it is on the USB stick that says whether it's bootable or not? [04:28] hello - can I use my ipod nano 4th gen (no camera) with ubuntu 9.10? [04:28] I'm having a problem install login screen backgrounds in 9.14, The normal way [ Menu > System > Administration > Login Screen ] doesn't seem to be working the same as 9.04, any ideas? [04:28] seems too long to me...how long does windows 7 take? [04:28] I'm having a problem install login screen backgrounds in 9.10, The normal way [ Menu > System > Administration > Login Screen ] doesn't seem to be working the same as 9.04, any ideas? [04:28] sorry [04:28] luisgmarine: I would say VNC, but it really depends on who's computer your trying to access. [04:28] dooglus_, I don't think that there is a simple bitmask flag that makes it bootable. [04:28] teage type in your terminal sudo autoremove {programname} [04:28] pwnedulongtime: that is comparing apples to oranges.. [04:28] dooglus_, I think the BIOS just looks and sees that there is an OS on it and decides to boot into it. [04:28] armydad92: AFAIK they took that feature out by default [04:28] luisgmarine- you could use remote desktop vuewer [04:29] i will try that [04:29] Whats the command to install a .tar.gz2 again? (sorry im tired) [04:29] Kamokow: ACK! Well Crap . . . any idea where I can research it further? [04:29] dooglus_: How do you mean bootable? The MBR part of any drive tells which part is bootable to the BIOS / OS [04:29] I want to help someone with troubleshooting wireless [04:29] can someone help me out here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8574346#post8574346 thanks [04:29] sudo: autoremove: command not found [04:29] armydad92: Nope, you could try google :-/ [04:29] but I rather them either watch me troubleshoot their computer, or watch me do it on mine [04:29] armydad92: possible to do some simpler stuff with http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html [04:30] teage: it would be: sudo apt-get autoremove [04:30] oh [04:30] k [04:30] whats the program name again teage? [04:30] pykeylogger [04:30] arand: okay, thanks! [04:30] dooglus_: if your pen drive isn't booting up, it might be possible that your BIOS can't boot from a USB pen drive. [04:30] umm so how bad could it be for my new drive if i cancel while parititioning in gparted?

The cd player shows up with normal cds === emily is now known as Guest98036 [05:16] !pastebinit http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6489fd8d [05:17] Hi, can anyone walk me through partitioning a HD that already has windows that I want to keep?: I am installing from a CD and am at the partition stage and only have advanced option to partition manually offered other than wipe the whole HD (ubuntu crashed on older machine and reinstalling on newer one), thank you. (I need to size down the windows partition to minimum and make a new partition for ubuntu). [05:17] where does evolution store its files? [05:17] sorry.. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6489fd8d [05:18] richardM, I used gparted to make my windows partition smaller first [05:18] I changed some things in my home dir and now its asking me for trhe whole setup again [05:18] richardM: Have you considered using wubi? [05:18] wolter: $HOME/.evolution and possibly some others elsewhere [05:18] what is wubi? === administrator is now known as Guest43159 [05:18] wubi lets you run it under windows. [05:18] I recently did the same thing and I just added back those accounts [05:18] richardM: It allows you to install Ubuntu and Windows at the same time, without losing any Windows data from your hard disk [05:18] Run ubuntu under windows [05:19] slinkeey: well, that's not technically accurate, as ubuntu runs by itself [05:19] is it not better to install side by side on the HD? [05:19] this is what i did in the past. [05:19] richardM: You could do that. Pretty much the main advantage of wubi is the simplicity thing. The only real disadvantage is that disk access is slightly slower [05:20] jcp: I prefer speed if I can have it: can you step me through it? [05:20] jcp, but isn't windows kernel still hogging cpu cycles and mem? [05:20] richardM: then I can't really help you, I've never installed ubuntu to a hard disk that wasn't already partitioned [05:21] ok, thanks anyway. [05:21] slinkeey: no, ubuntu runs by itself. It's a dual-boot setup. The only difference is, ubuntu has to have two file system drivers to access its data (ntfs, with ext3 on top) instead of just one, so disk access is a bit slower === ripps is now known as ripps|sleep [05:21] how can you get ubuntu to work with yahoo games? it seems to be missing a java plugin? [05:21] oh ok [05:21] slinkeey, can you step me through it? [05:22] i don't use it [05:22] ok [05:22] emmy: Is this in FireFox [05:22] ? [05:22] I just saw that according to the wubi site it says it makes ubuntu like a windows application [05:22] jcp, yes === roger_ is now known as generalsnus [05:22] so I assumed it ran like a vm [05:22] anyone know how to partition the HD via the ubuntu startup disc can step me through it? [05:22] emmy: ok. I think you need to install java. One second though... [05:22] how do i run a sh file? [05:22] I guess they mean normal application like you can remove it like any other application [05:22] slinkeey: Have you tried the backport modules? [05:22] r00t_: just double-click on it [05:23] kinja no [05:23] why you ask? [05:23] (in File Browser) [05:23] slinkeey: that's correct, on the normal application thing [05:23] Hi , I have a bluray cd here. It doesnt show up in my computer, How can I play it. The cd player shows up with normal cds [05:23] slinkeey: Okay. Try this. "sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-karmic" -- When it's finished, reboot and come back. Your wifi should be working fine without any dropped connections. [05:23] I got one disk to show up [05:23] jcp see i thought i did when i did ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:23] emmy: If you open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type "java", and hit enter, what does it say? [05:24] chilli0: You tried it in VLC? [05:24] What file holds the different operating systems grub2 shows on bootup? [05:24] Kinja... do you have a document that explains why this will help [05:24] is it not grub.conf anymore? [05:24] the program java can be found in the following packages... [05:24] jcp ^ [05:24] thanks for helping.. I am curious [05:24] And while I'm at it, I'm having a problem with my microphone where all I hear out of it is static, no matter what volume level I set it to. I've tried everything I can think of, and it literally sounds like I'm holding up the snow show to my microphone. Anyone have an idea wha'ts going on [05:24] jcp: thats not working [05:24] dt3k: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:25] kinja-sheep, I dont think it suports it [05:25] kinja: I am one that likes to read about something I am about to do.. heheh [05:25] emmy: k, that's your problem. Open Applications -> Add/Remove, search for "Sun Java", check "Sun Java 6 Runtime" and "Sun Java 6.0 Plugin", and hit Apply [05:26] chilli0: The problem is the security measure taking places. They're making it harder and harder. [05:26] is there a utility for monitoring a mobile broadband connection? [05:26] r00t_: what does it say? [05:26] . [05:27] * exodus_ms thinks he and zetheroo might be looking for the same thing [05:27] kinja-sheep, I know [05:27] anyone know how to partition the HD via the ubuntu startup disc can step me through it? [05:28] exodus_ms: yeah? [05:28] exodus_ms: like I have mine connected in Karmic but I would like to see what the receptivity is [05:28] okay, I'm having a mysterious problem [05:28] zetheroo, you can try iftop [05:29] kinja-sheep: I am reading this now... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [05:29] exodus_ms: I am trying this at the moment http://debii.curtin.edu.au/~pedram/linux/10-3gubuntu.html [05:29] just installed the latest version of Ubuntu (Karmic Koala, 9.10) [05:29] I have a 2G USB pen drive that's often very slow to be recognized now [05:29] zetheroo, sudo apt-get install iftop then sudo iftop -i [05:30] it did this right after I reformatted it in an attempt to get it usable as a bootable drive for another system [05:30] exodus_ms: but will it show my the receptivity? [05:30] anyone know how to partition the HD via the ubuntu startup disc can step me through it? [05:30] how to enable my horizontal scrolling(Touchpad) on karmic. [05:30] *sometimes* it will work faster after doing "sudo service hal restart" for a while [05:30] I'll be back in a bit [05:30] any ideas? [05:30] surmandal, you cannot [05:31] zetheroo, ya, it will show upload/download etc... but not the strength of a signal if thats what you are asking [05:31] does the 9.10 versions of MonoDevelop support writing Silverlight (via Moonlight) apps? i notice there is an unstable package for moonlight plugin... [05:31] how to enable my horizontal scrolling(Touchpad) on karmic. I have Option "SHMConfig" "on"set this value in xorg " [05:31] exodus_ms: yeah I am looking for strength of signal [05:31] dare, on 9.04 it was working [05:31] (btw, I'm a recent Debian convert... I'm starting to really like Ubuntu more) [05:32] Ok I am back [05:32] yes, it doesn't anymore.. tap zones have gone too [05:32] zetheroo, well, I'm just assuming here, if you are connected via mobile broadband, you are curious about what you are recieving, looking at upload/download data will give you that [05:32] Well my wireless has more bars... I guess we will see how reliable it is after installing backport modules [05:33] dare, is it..? [05:33] exodus_ms: is it a graphical tool or only terminal based? [05:33] zetheroo, exodus_ms: Perhaps you want nethogs -- It's a CLI -- (eg sudo nethogs eth0) -- When you're in, toggle 'm' to change modes. That's it. It's temporary but it get the job done. [05:33] How can I troubleshoot my microphone on my HP laptop with 9.04?\ [05:33] zetheroo, cli, but very powerful [05:33] there's somebody help me [05:33] Thankskinja [05:34] Thanks kinja! [05:34] need to configure my card reader [05:34] exodus_ms: ok well ... its got to be graphical for my needs .... [05:34] nobody knows? [05:34] slinkeey: No problem. Next time you have problem, look up on your wifi card. You have AR928X. :) [05:34] zetheroo, are you more interested in something like the network applet in gnome (task bar) that shows the strength of a wifi signal [05:34] ok [05:35] kinja-sheep, how to enable my horizontal scrolling(Touchpad) on karmic, any idea [05:35] exodus_ms: did you see the link I mentioned? [05:35] surmandal: Look under Mouse Preferences/Settings. [05:35] ? does anybody know how to change the "Ubuntu 9.10 *name* ttyl" text you see when shutting down? i'd prefer to just alter "ttyl" [05:35] exodus_ms: that is what I am looking for ... but something that works with the Karmic setup [05:35] i can see ubuntu wasnt affected by the netsplits, still 1k + members [05:35] kinja.. was there something in a backport that addressed this card that the ubuntu community didn't want to release wide open? [05:35] zetheroo, ya, but I'm curious why you are using vodafone [05:36] how to enable my cards reader on karmic [05:36] kinja-sheep, Option "SHMConfig" "on" [05:36] !tab | slinkeey [05:36] slinkeey: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:36] kinja-sheep, SHMConfig is set to on [05:36] slinkeey: That way, I can read highlighted messages easily. [05:36] exodus_ms: I am not ... but I think that tool would work with anything connected to the 3G network [05:36] surmandal: Is it toggled on under Mouse Preferences? [05:37] kinja-sheep, Thank you sir.. [05:37] any one else have to restart wireless connection after logging in? [05:37] yep [05:37] kinja-sheep, under inputdevice section [05:37] slinkeey: It is where any new features or non-security bugfixes will be coming in. [05:37] exodus_ms: in any case that does not seem to work in Karmic ... does Karmic use wvdial to make the 3G broadband devices work? [05:37] zetheroo, have you checked here to see if your card is supported https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G [05:37] ok [05:37] knuck887: is that a "yep" to my question? [05:37] anyone know about built in microphones on HP laptops? [05:37] well hi all! i'm haivng a bit of a network problem. [05:38] !kernel | slinkeey [05:38] mr_lordi yes [05:38] slinkeey: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [05:38] exodus_ms: supported by what? [05:38] okay [05:38] exodus_ms: ubuntu? [05:38] zetheroo, nevermind, thats for intrepid [05:38] just now tried to fsck the filesystem on it and it's *very* slow [05:38] slinkeey: If your Wifi does not work, it's not OS, it's the kernel. :O [05:38] how can i chek my cpu? command?? [05:38] knuck887: are you like me and just too lazy to fix it or have you looked for a fix yet? [05:38] no offense, and I ask this in all honesty-do you guys think that ubuntu is watered down in any way in terms of capability in order to reach a more simple user base? [05:38] surmandal: Did you check under Mouse preferences though? [05:39] exodus_ms: my USD dongle is working ... it connects and I am online ... [05:39] zetheroo, checking to see if your mobile broadband card is supported in Ubutu [05:39] too lazy, just saying i do too. i've noticed it's only rough when i'm around a lot of networks [05:39] kinja-sheep, WIFI is working great now [05:39] kinja-sheep, there is no touchpad option [05:39] millertimek1a2m3: no. it mostly depends on what you want to do [05:39] !ot | millertimek1a2m3 [05:39] millertimek1a2m3: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:39] first off, and possibly mopst importantly, ubuntu is not debian. so all my knowledge is useless. i have a system, i am in the admin and adm groups. i set up wireless networking apparently for my _own_ account, but not for anyone else. [05:39] kinja-sheep, only general and accessibility [05:39] how do is et it up for everyone that logs in? [05:39] millertimek1a2m3: not really [05:39] knuck887: ok. thanks. [05:39] zetheroo, ya, but you are looking for software to show you a graphical representation of your connection strenght [05:39] surmandal: What make/model? [05:39] kinja-sheep, sorry i seem to get off subject a lot [05:40] kinja-sheep, karmic, acer 5610 [05:40] millertimek1a2m3: if I wanted to be silly I could still go and build everything myself or somewhere between that and building nothing :) [05:40] exodus_ms: yes ... but what will checking if its supported do towards that? [05:40] kinja-sheep, in 9.04 it was working, after upgrading to karmik it is not working [05:40] millertimek1a2m3: i think it has everything most people need in a way that is not watered down. would you call OSX watered down? [05:40] kinja-sheep, Well I don't want to bug you too much... You seam to keep yourself pretty busy without my help.... You have a great day and a happy new year if i don't run into you before then. [05:40] Khisanth, what were you talking about with building everything? [05:41] any vbox users here? having trouble installing on a fresh install. and vbox chat is useless. [05:41] it means it everything that can be done with any other distro can still be done with ubuntu [05:41] slinkeey: I'm glad to help people out. I have to RTFM on search engines to read and review stuffs. Solutions too. Enjoy your freedom from wired connections. :) [05:42] Mr_Lordi, well no. I mean... i've talked to some "purists"/people that think that people that don't have extensive knowledge of the internals of linux shouldn't use it [05:42] and they seem to give me the impression that [05:42] I usuallly google search the ubuntu forums with good luck [05:42] anyone? netowrking? wireless? works? only for me? no one else? [05:42] surmandal: When you told me the SHMconfig thing, I assumed you read http://tinyurl.com/yehl4rm ? [05:42] ubuntu brings a lot of people that don't know what they're doing to the user base... [05:42] kinja-sheep, I am never the first to run into the problem so the answers is usually in the ubuntu forums..:) [05:43] millertimek1a2m3: if that is their requirement then most people in world shouldn't be using a computer === james0 is now known as jamesip6 === jamesip6 is now known as james0 [05:43] Khisanth, right lol [05:43] that also includes stuff like cellphones and game consoles and TVs these days [05:44] anyway, [this question goes out to the whole channel] i asked earlier about bash files in ubuntu [05:44] so uh ... slightly more technological than the Amish? [05:44] millertimek1a2m3: Thats how people learn what they are doing :) [05:44] zetheroo, have you looked at the netspeed applet? [05:44] kinja-sheep, Wireless is a dirty word.. :) I work in the wire and cable industry!! :) heheheeheheh [05:44] like... ~/.profile ~/.bash_logout ~/.bash_login [05:45] Khisanth, lol i know. [05:45] I'm using Jaunty. When installign libmozjs-dev (trying to compile CouchDB), it requires firefox-3.5 removed. How can I install it without removing firefox? [05:45] zetheroo, I have to apologize, I dont know if you are connecting via a usb dongle, pcmcia card etc [05:45] anyone? I just find it really odd that a USB drive like this would start to be *this* slow on *this* PC and work fine on my mom's Windows XP laptop [05:45] it seems that ~/.profile is run by the login shell [05:45] when I go to fsck the light doesn't even flash as rapidly as it should [05:45] it's like the computer is waiting for something [05:46] DocPlatypus, do u have usb 2.0 [05:46] dare: it's USB 1.1 [05:46] every time, but I can't find a logout file to edit that will work. i've tried ~/.logout ~/.bash_logout [05:46] but that is *not* the issue [05:46] DocPlatypus, there's the problem? [05:46] dare: NO [05:46] everything i even went to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1185446 and found that I should make it /etc/bash.bash_logout [05:46] that didn't work either [05:46] it NEVER took this long to fsck under Debian [05:46] the light is NOT flashing as rapidly as it used to [05:46] kinja-sheep, that option is already set on my xorg.conf file [05:47] other drives work fine at full USB 1.1 speed [05:47] surmandal: How about syndaemon -t -d? You might want to restart your X. [05:47] zetheroo, this might be helpful in karmic, since the vodafone is not offically supported, might be best to compile --> http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu-mobile.htm#vmc [05:47] and do not take this long to fsck [05:47] or mount or read or write or whatever [05:47] ls [05:47] can anyone find a way to get a script to run on logout every time? [05:47] already restarted many times :) [05:48] hi does anyone know why centos is working better than ubuntu [05:48] ? [05:48] tatootian, #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:48] sybdaemon -t -d kinja-sheep it gives the error "Unable to find a synaptics device." [05:48] what do yo umean? [05:48] i'm asking a question, this isn't offtopic [05:48] tatootian, isn't that question subjective? [05:48] you must be fucking retarded or something [05:48] no [05:49] tatootian, watch the language and the attitude [05:49] bazhang, you know, i got this shit from you last time [05:49] you're worthless [05:49] why do you continue to talk and give me warnings [05:49] tatootian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:49] !attitude | tatootian [05:49] tatootian: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:50] DocPlatypus: even for usb 1.1 there still can be low-speed and full-speed differences which is around 8x [05:50] tatootian, It is not like hired these people to work on your network.. Give them a break.. [05:50] Khisanth: this is far more than 8 times slower [05:50] for a fsck it could simply be really bad news ... [05:50] where is flash plugin saved? I changed home dir and suddenly I don't have a homedir [05:51] surmandal: You edit something in Xorg. You will have to restart your X. Have you done that yet? You can do it in TTY or reboot. You decide. [05:51] tatootian, are you still here? [05:51] wolter: ~/.mozilla/plugins (for me, x86_64) [05:51] kinja-sheep, yes [05:51] suspect empty 2G drive, 1:05.59 elapsed. empty 512M drive, 0:01.92 elapsed. both ext4, both USB 1.1, same hub, same cable, same bus. [05:52] surmandal, don't waste your time.. I tried every solution in first 10 pages of google results to get horizontal scroll working [05:52] this same drive works fine on a Windows XP laptop [05:52] and always worked fine on this PC on Debian [05:52] kinja-sheep, dare but there must be a solution isn't it [05:53] NIGHT ALL! [05:53] hi [05:53] Morning comes too fast for me [05:53] thanks kinja-sheep [05:53] wolter: Np. [05:54] Is there a fix for Xorg high cpu usage with Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-17-generic besides going back and using an older kernel? [05:55] surmandal: Paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to http://pastebin.com/ -- I'm still searching for solutions though. === napster is now known as Guest61480 [05:56] kinja-sheep, http://pastebin.com/d742f090f === Guest61480 is now known as napster [05:57] !love [05:58] surmandal: You tried gsynaptics ? === napster is now known as Guest8355 [05:59] kinja-sheep, while trying to open gsynaptics "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. [05:59] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics" [06:00] Hi al... [06:00] does anyone know how to configure a microphone on 9.04 for skype? [06:00] surmandal: I see "on" -- not " true" [06:00] neezer, Hmm pretty well [06:00] My skype settings for the microphone are Pulseaudio server (local) [06:00] How big should virtualbox be? [06:01] any help would be greatly appreciated napster! [06:01] my ubuntu crashed, i had to reboot from a CD, can read the file system, but because I am not logged on with my username etc I dont have permission to read the files, any ideas? [06:01] HFSPLUS: #vbox might be a good place to ask. [06:01] kinja-sheep, before there was "true", it was not working, after googling I have found that "on" should work [06:01] for the ubuntu vhd [06:01] on my win 7 [06:01] neezer, In preference->input devices [06:01] when I talk with my fiance i can see her and she can see me. I can hear her, but she cannot hear me. [06:02] napster, in m skype options. [06:02] *my [06:02] richardM: there is probably some mount trick that will get that file system opened up so you can access it... [06:02] neezer, Yes. From the pop up menu of the tray icon [06:02] HFSPLUS, I manage with 6-10gb [06:02] napster they shouldve called that application crapster [06:02] yes. [06:02] thanks dare [06:02] richardM: also make sure you are tryign to read the files as root... sudo ls, sudo cd, etc... [06:03] HFSPLUS, lol [06:03] surmandal: Ensure that xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed and paste your /var/log/Xorg*.log [06:03] neezer, You got the idea? [06:03] yup 4 hours sleep tonight thanks to the train that comes early [06:03] when I right click on the skype check mark then go to options. [06:03] bye! [06:03] I went there but there is no way to configure the microphone. [06:04] kheera: i am just logged on straight from the CD, and am reading the file system via the desktop etc [06:04] neezer, I don't understatnd [06:05] I am going into the skype options to try to get my microphone to work. [06:05] I'm not sure if that is what I need to do or not though. [06:05] surmandal: You saw this too, right? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [06:05] neezer, Go private now [06:06] hi, i notice tcl/tk isn't available in the Ubuntu Software Center- what process is there for something being considered for inclusion?

Never just use "sudo"!

[06:13] thanks rad_sci_guy [06:14] evilsherpa: "sudo fdisk -l" and see if you can see those HDDs. [06:14] kinja i think i found them [06:14] just can access them [06:15] !fstab | evilsherpa [06:15] evilsherpa: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[06:18] DocPlatypus, if it doesn't have a menu entry after it's installed, generally speaking it won't show in the Software Centre [06:19] and I can understand what they are trying to do with USC... but it would be nice *not* to have to resort to aptitude for some things like kinja-sheep has suggested [06:19] DocPlatypus, use Synpaptic instead [06:20] Madpilot: noted... I am used to aptitude, as of last time I tried Synaptic it didn't track dependencies like aptitude [06:20] for all I know USC doesn't either [06:21] compiz was sucking up all the resources, i removed some of the compiz packages with apt-get remove, now i can't get into gdm [06:21] USC is one hell of a nice concept though. type the name of a package, and two clicks later it's installing [06:21] or at least gdm loads and only shows terminal window [06:21] any idea how to get gdm === kevdog___ is now known as kevdog [06:21] compiz really should eat that many resources [06:22] i mean i have an old machine and im not feeling any compiz stress [06:22] well, now i can't get gdm to fully load [06:22] and maybe I'm just too old-school with command line and pipe-based utilities [06:23] evilsherpa, and can you believe there are compiz haters out there? [06:24] i'm not a hater .. i just want gdm back === kevdog___ is now known as kevdog [06:24] what is or was the alternative to compiz?

[06:28] evilsherpa: df -h [06:28] evilsherpa: which is formatted with a Linux filesystem? [06:29] evilsherpa: Which one did you install it on? You should see a Boot star in "sudo fdisk -l" [06:29] Anyone here been able to tether Ubuntu to Droid? [06:29] evilsherpa, fdisk -l, will show the partitions on all disks, look for the one with linux on it [06:30] hi all [06:30] <_ganymede> kevdog: what is a droid?

[06:32] <_ganymede> kevdog: not mountable? [06:32] When I go to Administration, and then to Hardware Drivers, I get a blank window where the only option is to close. [06:33] is there a way to have Ubuntu fetch drivers without a gui? [06:33] mneptok, and kinja-sheep and c3101 - what happened here is i accidentally deleted my boot partician an thought 'stuff it' havnt reinstalled since windows2000 its time to reinstall [06:33] so that hdd was a ext2 or ext3 drive [06:34] im formatting it [06:34] danirc: that will only display proprietary drivers needed by your system, if any [06:34] what is the best way to totally remove a program and all of the config files for it? [06:34] neezer: apt-get purge [06:34] danirc: as it is an empty box, it means that there is no 3rd party drivers needed for your VM "box" [06:34] ok. then I should be able to reinstall the program with a fresh install? [06:35] neezer: correct [06:35] neezer: even purge won't delete personal configs from your $HOME [06:35] Thanks c3101! [06:35] does skype create any configs in $home that I would need to remove also llutz? [06:35] possibly destroying a whole lotta happyness [06:35] The reason I inquired was because no sound will play. [06:35] neezer: ~/.Skype (or .skype) [06:35] So, I suspect I'm having problems with VMware or a driver issue. [06:35] <_ganymede> thanks for the link kinja...very cool...do want [06:35] just remove the folder llutz? [06:36] _ganymede: ? [06:36] neezer:yes [06:36] _ganymede: :) [06:36] danirc, are you having any problems with the VM ? [06:36] <_ganymede> kevdog:i am assuming they use a mini-usb [06:36] It appears to be working fine, and I'm able to play videos. However, there isn't sound. [06:36] <_ganymede> plug it in [06:37] danirc, what is the base OS ? [06:38] On this machine, it is Vista. When I've ran Ubuntu off of live mode by itself, it has worked well. So perhaps, it could be a problem with Vista or VM? [06:38] <_ganymede> kevdog: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7446857&postcount=8 [06:39] danirc, might be the VM settings in VMware, should bot have any problems, [06:40] i need help installing a game using an iso image that i copied from my flash drive [06:40] c3101, I'm going to tinker with the settings and reboot.

[06:47] any ideas on installing skype? [06:47] neezer: if i read right, they took it out from medibuntu. use that one from skype.com [06:47] neezer, did you add a repository that provides a skype package? I don't believe the stock ones do [06:48] I didn't...how do I do that LordXenu [06:48] hi there [06:48] neezer, what llutz said, just grab the .deb from the skype website [06:48] that'd be the easy way [06:49] in synaptic my skype-common is green meaning that it is installed right? [06:49] is it possible to setup rtorrent to dld the files onto a windows partition? [06:49] how can that be if I just did a purge? [06:49] is it recommended? [06:49] <_ganymede> kevdog: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tether+android+ubuntu [06:50] kandjar: why not, if your user has rw-access [06:50] my concern is: the windows box has a auto-update activated so it's possible to have the windows box rebooting during the night [06:51] so how do I "just grab the .deb" from skype....I'm not that good yet.. [06:51] I'd love to learn though. [06:51] neezer: .deb is like .exe in Winblows World. [06:51] hi , i want to upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 from 8.10 , what should be the best way to do it? . If i go by update manager it shows 9.04 is available and is data lost during upgradation ? [06:52] kandjar: not very nice to reboot a box, during rtorrent wants to write to :) [06:52] so I can just download the file and away I go kinja-sheep? [06:52] i just would like an automatic way to transfer the dlded files back to the windows box, my linux server has only 50gb or diskspace [06:52] hey anyone in california [06:52] neezer: Yup. Grab the file. Double-click on it. Watch it installing right before your eyes and away you go. [06:52] llutz: agree :) [06:52] how to set the metric of network interfaces? [06:52] i have 2 interfaces [06:52] kinja-sheep: it isn't. if you want to compare with windows, a .deb is more like a .msi [06:52] hey. I upgraded to 9.10 lately and no OpenGL programs I've wrote seem to work. even the simplest one. my problem specifically is a black screen whenever I run an OpenGL program. if I switch window, I can see very briefly see the OpenGL program work before it switches. [06:53] srv: man ifconfig [06:53] llutz: That is very very true! [06:53] any ideas as to what it could be? [06:53] it says metric ioctl not supported [06:53] Kinja-sheep: from skype, there is only options for 8.04 and 8.10...will installing the 8.10 64 bit be a bad thing if i'm running 9.04? [06:53] srv, nasty, what NICs you've got ? [06:54] kinja-sheep:hi , i want to upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 from 8.10 , what should be the best way to do it? . If i go by update manager it shows 9.04 is available and is data lost during upgradation ? [06:54] c3101: how to find out? [06:54] srv, sudo lspci -v | less [06:55] prefrontal: you need to upgrade to 9.04 and then upgrade to 9.10, so use update-manager. No, you shouldn't lose data during the upgrade, but backuping your data first is recommended. [06:55] prefrontal: sorry, mistab [06:55] pranay: see above [06:55] neezer: I remember a factoid about using older version but I can't find it. It should be okay.

Is there something else that needs to be spawned to get sound? [07:31] mechcozmo: google it [07:32] how do we compile C programs using codelite? [07:32] bcw006: are all your cords pluged in correctly [07:32] n00p: a basic laptop === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [07:35] moultrie: yea, it's a laptop [07:35] bcw006 are the drivers installed [07:36] moultrie: yea, it works in gnome [07:37] moultrie: but I am building a custom xsession for xmonad, in which it does not work [07:37] bcw006 what apperating system are you running [07:37] I have 3 Partitions 1 being NTFS with win7 one being NTFS just for storage and another EXT4 for linux, I wanna get rida linux on this machine. But I have grub installed and fear I will not be able to boot windows if I nuke the ext4 partition? Any Sugestions? [07:37] I hate to remove Ubuntu cause I love it but it is not my machine... [07:37] rww: is the alternate cd a live cd?? [07:38] TheSarge: use win-cd (fixmbr) and delete the linux-partition then === B3rz3rk3r_ is now known as b3rz3rk3r [07:38] pranay, no, it's the text-based installer [07:38] hello, was moving from an old system o anew system, I logged in the terminal on the new system, ran sshd and started copying old stuff from the old notebook over ssh. I did something wrong and now the new system gives me ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not set up properly, is there a way to troubleshoot that? [07:38] moultrie: i just installed 9.10 x86_64 on a lenova x61 tablet [07:39] llutz: Is there any chance of a non Boot CD option? I have no Optical drive (Netbook), and booting a usb drive is a hassle. What about BCDedit? [07:40] bcw006: are you duel booting [07:40] moultrie: nope, it's straight up ubuntu [07:40] TheSarge: i think there are several ways, basically you just need to rewrite a valid ms-mbr before deleting linux-partition [07:40] pranay: no [07:40] Madpilot: ok [07:40] bcw006: has it worked before [07:40] moultrie: yea it works in gnome [07:41] moultrie: just not in xmonad [07:41] llutz: Do you know a way without sing the bootdisk? [07:41] TheSarge: no === kb is now known as Guest85471 [07:41] hello, was moving from an old system o anew system, I logged in the terminal on the new system, ran sshd and started copying old stuff from the old notebook over ssh. I did something wrong and now the new system gives me ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not set up properly, is there a way to troubleshoot that? [07:42] Okay then, real useful... [07:42] bcw006: hm i'm not sure about whats wrong are you sure the system is compadable [07:42] TheSarge: better ask in ##windows [07:42] llutz: Grub is installed to the MBR so nuking the liux partitons will be okay right? [07:43] Oh wait all the files reside on the linux partitions.. [07:43] TheSarge: if you nuke it, grub won'tboot anymore as it cannot find stage2 [07:43] llutz: Ya just realized that, damn I need that space [07:43] moultrie: yea, it's just sound. And it works in gnome but not xmonad. I've checked it's not muted, I've checked several different audio applications. Alsa is started, the pulseaudio daemon is started. I'm at a loss for why it isn't working. [07:43] TheSarge: that why i said, you have to restore mbr _before_ nuking === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:44] bcw006: thats really strange i don't know what to say about that sorry === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber [07:45] moultrie: thanks anyways [07:45] Greetings, I have a laptop with a built-in flash card reader.. where am I likely to find out if flash cards installed in it are recognized or not, or does anybody have any suggestions of programs to install? the flash card did not come up like a USB HD would on [07:45] llutz: No I didn't do it lol. I mean I made the realazation in my head. [07:46] TheSarge: does your linux still run? [07:46] TheSarge: "testdisk" should be able to write a new mbr [07:47] hey all, im following steps in http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ but at step sudo smbpasswd -a i get this response evilsherpa@evilsherpa-desktop:~$ sudo smbpasswd -a [07:47] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [07:47] evilsherpa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:47] \quit thanks [07:47] sorry [07:47] hi all [07:48] My ubuntu machine can connect to my windows machine. but my ubuntu machine isnt able to connect to another ubuntu machine. only a windows network icon appears in the network tab of Nautilus [07:49] anyone? === kb is now known as Guest46994 [07:50] SingAlong1: install openssh-server on all ubuntu machines then goto Places>connect to server using ssh .. type in their internal IP. also you can create a bookmark whcih will be available in Places. [07:51] bastidrazor: thanks [07:52] hello my question how to onfigure pine ? [07:52] configure* [07:53] krzychu: edit ~/.pinerc [07:54] i am going out for a week and wont be using my laptop for more than 10-15 days. how should i store my laptop for such long storage durations? i am worried my battery would decay! [07:54] bastidrazor: I installed openssh-server and also know the IPs of my machines. how do i connect to them? using normal ssh commands? [07:54] Za remove the battery [07:54] za, just remove the battery [07:54] za: load battery, remove, go [07:54] SingAlong1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [07:55] SingAlong1, nautilus recognises the ssh:// location protocol as well. [07:55] SingAlong1: yes you could.. you could add their ips and hostname to /etc/hosts and use ssh ubuntubox1 instead of IP .. if yo uwant to use the GUI way use the Places>Connect to Server method [07:56] airtonix: ah thanks! I logged in :) [07:56] SingAlong1, ssh is more than just a file transfer protocol too [07:57] bastidrazor: no actually I shutdown the comp and restart modems often so i'll leave them as IPs instead of adding hosts to /etc/hosts [07:57] SingAlong1, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Remote_Access [07:57] airtonix: if i use connect to server and select ssh, the link will denote sftp, is that normal? [07:57] SingAlong1: your router could set static IP's.. but never mind then. ip's it is. [07:57] superboki, sftp & ssh are interchangable terms [07:58] bastidrazor: oh ya forgot. i could set up static stuff. thanks [07:58] airtonix: ok [07:58] Ronen: BlackFate_ removing my battery. wouldnt it reset my cmos etc and hence kind of damage my laptop? [07:58] SingAlong1: use your MAC address to set them. makes internal networking much easier if the IP's are the same all the time [07:58] za: it won't harm your laptop in any way [07:58] za, no [07:58] airtonix: how to mount such nautilus connection to the filesystem? [07:59] za, it uses internal battery for bios [07:59] za: no, it wiould be like letting your battery run out of juice. no harm done.. i actually had to do that today.. a resume kernel paniced... again [07:59] Za, nope. Another battery handles cmos/BIOS [07:59] superboki, nautilus wont be able to mount it like you can with something like a usb drive, but you can do it with something else called fuse-ssh [07:59] airtonix: sshfs ? [07:59] superboki, or it might be called ssh-fuse...not sure. yes sshfs too, [08:00] Everytime I boot Ubuntu, I get a warning saying my battery is broken - which it isn't. [08:00] airtonix: ok, it did work with sshfs, only remote symlinks are all dead [08:00] my volume applet slider has stopped working. the slider no longer controls any volume in any application. but, if i open volume control, the sliders work [08:01] superboki, actually, take that back, after mounting the ssh server with nautilus you might like to look in ~/.gvfs [08:01] airtonix: checking [08:01] hi everyone [08:01] superboki, i think it is where nautilus mounts various things for you [08:01] George_E, how old is your battery? lithium-ion batteries (commonly used in laptops) degrade over time. they generally get about 1-1.5 years of fully charged life [08:02] the ubuntu dialog will try to guess what the remaining charge is with a percentage [08:02] It is 1.5 years old. [08:02] airtonix: cool stuff, thanks! [08:02] Does anyonen know how I can get Xorg *NOT* to ignore a custom xorg.conf I'm trying to write for it? [08:02] But it works fine. [08:02] George_E, yeah, it is probably on the way out. it'll keep a brief charge, but it definitely won't keep a full charge like it did when it was new [08:03] But it does... [08:03] anyone know where can I find a complete list of usable rxvt keysym's ? [08:03] George_E: what does the message say exactly? [08:03] superboki, just take note that gfvs might not behave as expeced with various non standard server configurations (ie, some servers will limit your conncurrent connections to a low number, or kill the connection on their end if there is no activity from your end within a timeframe) gfvs does not send noop msgs to keep the connection alive. [08:03] do a battery test. completely deplete your battery, let it charge fully and then see if it lasts as long as the original specs [08:03] i bet it will not [08:04] it's just not the natural of lithium-ion batteries [08:04] *nature [08:04] Something about it reporting only being 37% full when on AC. [08:04] airtonix: i see [08:04] Cant remember all of it. [08:04] George_E, yeah, it is telling you that fully charged, it only has 37% of its power [08:05] BlackFate_: so, should i drain my laptop battery completely or kully charge it before storing it for such large duration? [08:05] George_E: type acpi -Vf in a terminal [08:05] hi, when is the next ubuntu release? [08:05] pitput, one just came out, it will be another 6mo or so until the next one [08:05] april 2010 pitput [08:05] superboki, if you come across such remote servers then gfvs will cause you some frustrations [08:05] Im not on Ubuntu atm. [08:05] ok. thank you guys so much [08:05] thank you LogicFan and bastidrazor [08:06] airtonix: its my home box, but all i did was 'apt install ssh' [08:06] za, draining would be the best thing to do [08:06] George_E, look up the rated mAh and compare it with the output of the command bastidrazor posted [08:06] always avoid draining lithium-ion fully! [08:07] superboki, should be fine then (i'm referring to servers other people setup on places like shared hosting) [08:07] za: best thing is to somewhere between around 40-80% charge [08:07] I did. I drained it - recharged it - works just as long as when I bought it. [08:07] za: best thing is to store it somewhere between around 40-80% charge [08:07] jtaji, laptops won't completely drain the battery. they will always shut off before it gets to that point [08:07] LogicFan: acpi -V will actually give the full capacity amount.. but if he isn't on Ubuntu.. he wastes my time. === napster is now known as Guest93935 [08:08] Sorry. === napster_ is now known as napster [08:08] you can handle batteries as careful as you want, after a while they will lose capacity and finally die [08:08] Ya, but this one works. [08:08] George_E, well, when you get on your ubuntu machine, that command will tell you what the battery design capacity is and what the last full capacity was [08:08] Ok. [08:09] Thanks. [08:09] 1-2yrs is about the entire life span of a modern lithium-ion laptop battery [08:09] so, if you have had it for 1.5yrs already, it's going to start degrading quickly [08:09] a few hundred load-cycles [08:09] more like it'll only be at 60-80% max capacity for charges [08:09] does anyone know how i can nuke my swap partition and grow my / partition (ext4)? i have a CF card i am going to move the swap to [08:09] Makes me wanna get a desktop. [08:09] George_E, same for cell phones [08:10] Yup. [08:10] True. [08:10] ;\ [08:10] LogicFan: i know. i had to replace my battery after 1yr 3mths. it was on such a state that it refused to charge and after some time detect! and coincidentally it was after my holidays during which i hadnt used it! [08:11] kem tai [08:11] srry [08:11] nautilus: u should have read floodbots message ! ;) [08:11] until we all have fuel-cell electronics batteries, plan on replacing your cell phone and laptop batteries every year or so :) [08:12] Nuts. [08:12] and the batteries arent any cheap either!! *eagerly wainting for fuel cell batteries* [08:12] ;) [08:12] LogicFan: so i have to replace my battery too [08:12] I know... [08:12] za: cold fusion ftw! :) [08:13] llutz: :D [08:13] * George_E is discouraged [08:13] llutz: guess wat over heating would result in? [08:13] za, more cookies [08:13] shit [08:13] i don't have anyone to talk!! [08:13] airtonix: ?

[08:14] yo [08:15] ...so, is there no way to move partitions around? [08:16] Hi to all [08:16] salam [08:16] !gparted | mechcozmo use the CD to do so. [08:16] wa-salaam [08:16] mechcozmo use the CD to do so.: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[08:18] mechcozmo: it will work just the same yes. [08:18] bastidrazor: cool [08:19] whoa hello [08:19] can ubuntu run on a single SD card [08:19] i got a eeepc 701 can i install ubuntu remix? [08:20] depends on the size of your sd card [08:20] 2 gigs? [08:20] would that be too small? [08:20] Alpha61: would think so [08:20] should do the trick [08:20] but that won't leave you a lot of room left [08:20] can any netbook that comes with windows 7 starter, be able to run ubuntu 9.10? [08:20] yes [08:20] Yup [08:20] would speed suffer like the live cd [08:20] no, sd-cards are pretty fast === mauricio is now known as Guest97639 [08:21] alright [08:21] thanks peeps [08:21] yw [08:21] Alpha61: any SD card would be faster than a CD, but a slow SD card won't be much fun [08:21] bah, too slow [08:21] when i close the lid on my laptop nothing happens :( but it's set to go to sleep. [08:21] what's the best brand of netbook for ubuntu out of : acer, asus, hp, toshiba, gateway or samsung [08:21] Hp [08:21] anything but ho [08:21] hp* [08:22] i'd say asus, but i'm a fanboy [08:22] Why? [08:22] Ich habe einen Asus eeepc 701 - kann ich netbook remix installieren?

[08:23] booh: I'm using Netbook Remix right now. Can't decide if I want to keep it, or resort back to regular ol' Gnome, or Moblin! [08:23] George_E, minipci/minipcie wireless card whitelisting [08:23] Gnome rocks! [08:23] oettinger: pfff... yes, but, takes away from viewing pleasure, especially for movies [08:23] GhostZz: i have xubuntu on my eeepc 1000 right now. going to try moblin next. [08:24] what would i use for 6ch DTS mkv -> 2ch AAC conversion? [08:24] Can anyone tell me what the LTSP mode on the alternate CD installs/does? Is just installing and configuring ltsp-server and DHCP-server, or is it doing more behind the scenes? [08:24] booh: i thought it was smaller footprint to accomodate small hard drives? [08:24] livingdaylite: mmm, that's a bummer. but it's still usable for web browsing i guess? [08:24] booh: Have you tried LXDE (lubuntu-desktop)? [08:24] GhostZz: not recently [08:24] livingdaylite: that may be so, but you can always delete things from a basic ubuntu install [08:24] oettinger: kind of .... shame it is out of guarantee... I don't know how it became like this [08:25] oettinger: i thought asus built it to last longer [08:25] livingdaylite: have you got the 2g or 4g version of the eee pc 701? [08:25] livingdaylite: It is just a glorious revamped user interface. [08:25] oettinger: hah, not even sure [08:25] livingdaylite: i understand that may be more of an issue with the 701 [08:26] oettinger: i still have the old xandros remix on it [08:26] would i get better prices on an eeepc online, like buy.com, than i would if i went into any store like bestbuy? [08:26] are these instructions accurate for adding swap space to a machine? [08:26] http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/07/how-to-add-linux-swap-file-if-you-dont-have-swap-partition.html [08:26] booh: the screen going kaput after 5 minutes? [08:26] livingdaylite: i got rid of the xandros remix just a few weeks after buying the eee pc, slow piece of junk it was :P [08:26] fidin: probably; shop around; let's try and stay on-topic though :) [08:26] livingdaylite: no, the smaller storage [08:26] [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 while trying to install ubuntu xp on that box wont boot any ideas? [08:26] ok [08:27] dfadaf: memtest, check all hardware, etc. [08:27] fidin: I have Acer Aspire netbook that I have been meaning to sell it. INterested? :O [08:27] i mean for the ubuntu part no need to yell this isnt xp help [08:27] hi, using rxvt, but for whatever reason, home and end send as ^[[7~ amd ^[[8~ instead of ^[[1~ and ^[[4~ and I can't seem to fix it. This doesn't happen if I just start bash directly isntead of using rxvt [08:27] dfadaf: does a linux livecd boot up? [08:27] livingdaylite: i run a distro called crunchbang linux now, it's a stripped down version of ubuntu and it's blistering fast, even on my eee pc [08:27] AspireOne. Whatever that spells. ^_^ [08:27] I've tried setting Rxvt.keysym.Home/End, XTerm.keysym.Home/End, to no avail [08:27] <_ganymede> anyone no how to enumerate a proprietary device? [08:27] dfadaf: did anyone yell at you? [08:27] also, is there a complete anywhere of all the valid keysym values? I can't find anything on this [08:27] <_ganymede> aka my cellphone [08:28] _ganymede, what sort of proprietary device? [08:28] Anyonr ever dealt with this before??? [08:28] well thats the matter with live cd [08:28] _ganymede, doubt it [08:28] dfadaf: i see... tried another livecd? [08:28] <_ganymede> dmesg and doesn't seem to be mountable [08:28] oettinger: yea, this 701 is for my 7year old, so i need something easier than crunchbang [08:28] well ubuntu dsl knoppix [08:28] _ganymede, what sort of cellphone is it? [08:28] I cant enable visual effects on my Ubuntu 9.10. It keeps saying "Desktop effects could not be enabled". How do I solve this? [08:28] puppy [08:28] <_ganymede> motorola [08:28] dfadaf: then it sounds like a hardware problem. [08:29] bbalajirao, install drivers for your video card [08:29] with memory ? [08:29] _ganymede: ahh trying to usb mass storage on your motorola? [08:29] bbalajirao: irc, there is some place when one has to enable gnome compozing [08:29] livingdaylite: in that case the netbook remix is a very easy distro. it's like the xandros distro with the 'retarded mode' on ;) [08:29] <_ganymede> booh: no trying to see the files on my cellphone...doesn't have a usb store...it is just an old phone [08:29] dfadaf: this is not the channel for that, try ##hardware [08:30] bbalajirao, also you didn't mention what video card you have . === xD is now known as BlouBlou [08:30] dfadaf: if you replace the DIMMs with others... you will find out [08:30] Sorry, I have Intel845 onboard VGA [08:30] eww [08:30] dfadaf: try booting memtest kernel off the livecd too. [08:30] bbalajirao, ok you don't bother trying to enable desktop effects then. [08:30] hmm ok [08:30] Before exiting, it says "looking for available drivers" [08:31] _ganymede: how are you connecting to the phone? USB, no? or bluetooth? [08:31] _ganymede: how are you connecting to the phone? USB, no? or bluetooth? [08:31] echo ? [08:31] echo ? [08:31] <_ganymede> booh: usb [08:31] booh: usb [08:31] ...

[08:32] I am not able to connect to my Yahoo ID in Empathy [08:32] IRC works fine [08:32] mechcozmo: yes... windows 7 calls that a 'feature' :) [08:32] Anyone know if anything significant has changed in losetup or the kernel crypto stuff in the past few years? I used to have a encrypted store I mounted with losetup -e blowfish-256 which no longer works, and there doesn't appear to be a way with losetup to specify the bit size, only keysize. Any ideas? :\ I need to be able to mount this encrypted store badly! [08:33] booh: heh... well, right now, the main drive is a 4GB MicroDrive, but there's an integrated CF reader that i'd like to use [08:33] is this an eeepc? [08:34] no, mini-ITX motherboard [08:34] !swap | mechcozmo [08:34] mechcozmo: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [08:34] so, how do I know if my world is 64-bit in ubuntu? [08:34] moin [08:34] airtonix: thanks, i know... [08:34] i have a question .. if i dedicate the entire sdb format it and install windows7 will windows sort out the bootloader? how do i get that option on startup? [08:34] mechcozmo, follow the link, it tells you how to make swap files or partitions [08:34] booh: a mini-ITX motherboard with integrated CF reader [08:35] airtonix: yes, but i don't know when this swap will be available for usage [08:35] airtonix: and while the system has never swapped out... i don't want initialization to fail [08:35] mechcozmo, if its there it will use it [08:36] Kir too koone hamatoun! [08:36] airtonix: and if it is there in fstab, but the device not yet initialized by the system... then what? [08:36] mechcozmo, then you manually run swap on after you put the drive in the slot [08:37] airtonix: drive is in the slot always... will it only check for presence of the drive when it is first needed? [08:38] mechcozmo, have i missed something ? drive is always there ? on boot up ? if so then swap file on the drive will be used when the drive comes up. === kb is now known as Guest10244 [08:38] /ehcop ehpcjhelp ei need somebody help [08:39] airtonix: i can't start up from this drive, so i don't know at what point the system recognizes it is present. therefore, if the system tries to start the swap system early and can't find the drive... there is a problem. but if the system only checks for the drive's presence when it needs to swap out, then that will be late enough that i know it will be present [08:40] airtonix: does that concern make sense? [08:40] I have a US keyboard and I would like to map other characters (from a non-US keymap) to my keypad. How can I do that? [08:40] mechcozmo, not entirely. because drives are supposed to be available before swap files/partitions required for use are initialised from my experience. [08:40] mechcozmo: swap will be kindof mounted from fstab entries, it has to be present then (not if really used first) [08:42] i have a question .. if i dedicate the entire sdb format it and install windows7 will windows sort out the bootloader? how do i get that option on startup? [08:42] airtonix, llutz: thanks, i'm going to nuke swap on the microdrive and move it over to the CF card... need some extra space in my / partition :) === kb is now known as Guest54493 [08:42] mechcozmo: /etc/init.d/mountall.sh does, so check _when_ that gets started [08:43] llutz: check when... /etc/init.d/mountall.sh gets started? [08:43] mechcozmo: best way: buy RAM so no swap is needed at all [08:43] <_ganymede> vegombrei: install windows leave space for linux and use unetbootin?? [08:43] llutz: Swap: 232900 0 232900 [08:43] mechcozmo: at what state of booting process, before or after your drives ALL are present [08:43] currently, it doesn't use it [08:43] I've got a laptop with an express card slot, it has a dummy card in it without an eject button and I can't seem to pry it out. anyone experienced this issue? the manual tells me to "Press the ExpressCard eject button to partially extend it out of the computer." but there's no such button [08:43] swap on CF is pretty slow [08:44] iKernel: push the dummy card in further, it has like a hmm release... spring... [08:44] llutz: that's what i was trying to figure out from you all... [08:44] how can one create a personal irc server like this one? [08:44] n00p: yeah, but swap on microdrive is slower [08:45] mechcozmo: check init-scripts in /etc/init.d to find out [08:45] err, so how do I tell if my Ubuntu world is 32-bit or 64-bit? [08:45] n00p: uname -m [08:45] n00p, I tried, but I don't think I can actually see the dummy card, just some strip of strong plastic covering it [08:45] <_ganymede> vegombrei: or maybe shrink your partition in your winbox and then linux [08:45] i686/ thanks :) [08:46] <_ganymede> vegombrei: install^ [08:46] i686 is 64-bit right? [08:46] 32 [08:46] can I start a personal irc room like this one? how? [08:46] sameepreturns, irc room or server?

I have two systems here, both running karmic, the other 64-bit, the other 32-bit. The 64-bit version has same pptp config as far as I can tell to the 32-bit one... But the 32-bit one gets a lost of "packet lost or reordered" messages, even for the simplest imaginable requests like ping of just 84 bytes. [09:11] I've tearing my hair out for this one for a while but can't figure out why the two systems would be different... also the negotiated mtu values are different between the two, the working one gets ppp mtu of 1496, the other goes to 1400 and still fails to work properly === tutysarahelp is now known as tutysar1 [09:13] there's some bugs in launchpad regarding this, but all solutions seem to center around setting mtu value and I've already scanned the mtu range down to 296 [09:18] Hi [09:18] _ganymede: thanks for helping me out [09:19] i want a program to log its output to .log and also print the output to stdout, what command should is use?

[09:21] alankila: where foo is the program name right? [09:21] yes, quite correct. [09:21] Tamnakz: Have you tried vlc? [09:22] yes, won't work [09:22] alankila: did you say quit? [09:22] addies: and it's not one video, NO .wmv files will work for me [09:22] nmvictor: err... no? [09:22] How can I setup surround sound on Ubuntu 9.10? I have sound from the front left and right speakers but nothing else. The setup is one where the mic/line-in sockets are used for the surround/centre speakers. It works under Windows. Under Windows the Realtek utility reports it to be ALC660... any ideas? [09:23] I have hundreds of videos on a base server from Iraq, but can't watch half of them [09:23] alankila: ok, what if i had another file .error which should take all the error, how do i use the output redirection together with tee? [09:23] They play, but sound and audio is completely garbled [09:24] nmvictor: foo | tee foo.stdout 2>| tee foo.error, perhaps [09:25] or wait ... that might need some grouping [09:25] * alankila is not very familiar with shell [09:25] hello [09:25] Can anyone help me get .wmv files to play in 8.10? === Guest35006 is now known as viezerd [09:25] i think g_signal_connect is eating the data im trying to get it to pass to my callback function. anybody familiar with that? [09:26] alankila: i thought the second tee will mean that i will also see the errors, which i do want to [09:26] nmvictor: yeah, true, I guess you can jsut do "foo 2> foo.error | tee foo.output" or something then [09:26] I do not know how to do the 2>| as I wanted... Not enough shell-fu [09:27] Need a antivirusn in Ubuntu 9.10? [09:27] but since you don't need it, probably it doesn't matter right now [09:27] alankila: thanks, let me try that [09:28] evergrenn, not really, though there are a few programs out there [09:28] Tamnakz: There is a guide for MPlayer that will enable you to pretty much play anything including most wmvs [09:28] any chance of making it work for vlc? [09:29] where is the smbpasswd saved at? [09:29] sorry, what are you talking about? [09:29] alankila: thanks, thats what i wanted [09:29] aperson. if not needed I am not going [09:29] evergrenn, ?

[09:33] evergrenn: You don't really need any anti-virus apps in Linux unless you will be sharing files with a windows file system. [09:33] Tamnakz: The best repository style vlc is at this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc [09:35] What do you recommend for a future installation? [09:35] evergrenn, recommend what? [09:35] evergrenn: as far as what? [09:35] an antivirus in linux [09:36] evergrenn: you don't need one, you've been told that more than once [09:36] evergrenn: linux is antivirus [09:36] evergrenn, as stated, you don't really need one. If you feel like you need one, there are a few available. [09:37] ok [09:37] evergrenn: in certain cases you can use some online service like this http://www.virustotal.com/ [09:37] evergrenn: i wouldnt run any kind of permanent scanner thought [09:38] I'd run a permanent scanner over a web-based one anyday [09:38] but discussion on that is !ot and not for this channel [09:38] aperson: its a file scanner, no a system one [09:38] superboki, I realize this [09:39] * wowoto some of the time when i want to resume from the suspend-state ,the keyboard failed to work,and i cant input anywords,while the mouse still word ,and i have to reboot ,how can i fix this ?

I think the hard drive with 1.5 GB (as advertised by the manufacturer only has 1 500 000 000 000 bytes.. which is less than 1.5 GB in real life [09:48] dandaman: if using extX on that hdd, set reserved-blocks to 0 (tune2fs -m) [09:48] dandaman: but... that doesn't give nearly as big of a number [09:48] <|_ocke> yeah, 1024 bytes in a KB, 1024 KB in a MB, 1024MB in a GB, 1024GB in a TB [09:48] The journalo is also going to take up some space [09:48] To run the user admin app is the command: users-admin ca someone please verify that for me?

[09:58] bredoto: i'd use something like ghost to spit the image of a system to a tonne of systems (not free) [09:59] !clone [09:59] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [09:59] bredoto: or acronis [09:59] bredoto: PXE boot the systems off a server and use 'dd' to copy a remote image to the local hard drive [09:59] !automate [09:59] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [10:00] ActionParsnip, thnk [10:00] can anyone recommend another moving menu like found is gdesklets, but without all the other rubbish and without displaying an icon on the notification area? [10:00] how about administration throw web-int? [10:01] Gorlist: i use guake for that and launch all apps from terminal ;) You could try gnomedo too (people rave about it) [10:01] after having to complile my own kernel for suport of a HBA ( AOC-SASLP-MV8 ) that requires a patch to fuction corectly with mdadm. I have applied the patches and compiled the kernel into 2 .deb packages i recieve an error when trying to install the Linux-headers*.deb it stops with the error ( dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead. ) could someone help me google [10:01] ActionParsnip, thanks! [10:02] bredoto: have you looked at Canonicals Landscape? http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/management I don't think it's only cloud oriented (even if that page makes it look that way) [10:02] sorry, how about automatical administration through web interface or somethink like that? [10:03] Yon89: its only a warning [10:03] ActionParsnip, I just use alt+f2 *shrug* [10:03] Slart, ok i will check [10:03] aperson: same kinda deal [10:03] i cant see the files inside a windows share. like i can navigate too it in connect to server, i just cant get into it [10:03] so does it proceed to install the package it appers to just return to the cmd line [10:04] bredoto: try ebox [10:05] evilsherpa: you'll need to enable the guest account, as well as an account with access rights [10:06] frogzoo, yeh that is all there, this is a fresh ubuntu install on this machine though [10:08] what is the maximum amount of RAM Ubuntu 9.10 32bit can take advantage of? is there a limit like windows? [10:08] azlon 32bit ~ 3.5GB [10:08] azlon: yep, about 3.5G [10:08] azlon: use PAE-Kernel to address more, or 64bit [10:08] azlon, do you have linux-generic-pae installed? that will allow for more than 3 [10:08] azlon: The limit is a hardware/architecture limit. It's 4GB of addressable space at a time, which gives you around 3.2ish GB (depending on your other hardware). There are, however, workarounds which allow you to utilize more, such as PAE [10:09] bazhang: i only have 2GB of ram on the Ubuntu system so it doesnt really matter yet, i was just getting ready to upgrade and wanted to know if i should reinstall with 64bit instead [10:09] !pae [10:09] hrmm [10:10] azlon, have 4GB here and using the linux-generic-pae with 32bit no problems [10:10] azlon: worry about it if and when, dont sweat it for now [10:10] azlon: 32's better supported if you don't need 64 [10:10] frogzoo, who said that?? [10:10] azlon: pae has a minimal performance-loss, but in 99% you won't recognize it (only measure it) [10:10] frogzoo, I've been running 64bit for some time and haven't had a single 64bit exclusive issue [10:11] bazhang: i wanted to run a VM on it as well and have at least 2GB for the VM so i was looking at somewhere between 4-8GB of ram, but didnt want to go overboard and not be able to use it [10:11] BlackFate_: aperson user base alone says so [10:11] aperson: if you use firefox, you already suffer from slow javascript. If you try to use flash through nspluginwrapper, you may have found that the flash controls don't work [10:11] frogzoo, people with problems complain more :) [10:11] <|AbsyntH|> i've a problem with the auto upgrade of grub ... this is my configuration ide0 Opensolaris , sata0 xubuntu.... when xubuntu upgrade grub write the new grub on the mbr of ide0 and i can't boot opensolaris...can i lock down the xubuntu's grub upgrade in the partition of sata disk ? [10:11] right now my Ubuntu machine is running 9.04 32bit and it's primary function is to share 8TB from a software rade [10:11] bah, RAID [10:11] alankila, and that is why one uses 64bit flash :) [10:12] frogzoo, i ve been 64bit user for long time.. the only problem with 64bit was flash support 2-3 years ago [10:12] aperson: or fixes the nspluginwrapper bug [10:14] any way to play a video inside a gnome-terminal rather than using transparency to play it behind? [10:14] what are linux-headers [10:14] frogzoo, look up how to use the framebuffer [10:15] aperson: kk, thx [10:15] Younder are source-like files [10:16] need them to compile new modules [10:17] Yon89 [10:17] read above [10:20] this channel must use english?

[11:05] how can i do this? [11:05] !derivatives | Psinetic [11:05] Psinetic: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) [11:05] ExtremeDevilz: have you looked at linux mint [11:05] lorenzosu: if you assign about 7Gb to / then you will be laughing [11:06] 0.o ve_ [11:06] no why [11:06] ActionParsnip: Sorry what do you mean? [11:06] yon have you looked that up on google google [11:06] Psinetic: if you create you own distro.. based on ubuntu.. but perhaps adding some packages, changing some settings.. then it's a derivative.. and we won't support it here [11:06] that....really didn't answer anything. but yeah....uh ok. [11:06] eddym: what torrent client are you using [11:06] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [11:06] eddym: move the file; redownload the torrent point it to the nwe location; should start downloading where it was [11:06] gadget3000, transmission 1.5 [11:06] Slart, so if i add software and it requires it's own repo suddenly i have a new derivative? === llutz_ is now known as llutz [11:07] ActionParsnip: Sorry I didn't understand [11:07] ActionParsnip: ehats up with floodbot he keeps causing ppl not to speek y [11:07] Psinetic: if you start calling it "Psibuntu" and distribute it yourself then yes [11:07] lorenzosu: when you update and install apps the debs are stored on your system. If you have insufficient space you will get issues so its good to add a few gig of space to cover [11:07] erUSUL, just pause the download then do it [11:07] ? [11:07] i'm sorry that's just utterly retarded. [11:07] eddym: do as erUSUL said. you have to pause the torrent and close transmission first then move everything [11:07] so ActionParsnipcant you help me to config my default system os [11:07] it's still ubuntu [11:07] Slartbuntu! [11:07] the core and everything [11:07] gadget3000, ok thxs [11:07] there's nothing different about it [11:08] Psinetic, its not supported here. [11:08] eddym: then change the torrent location in transmission [11:08] What's the name of the program that ubuntu uses to setup multiple monitors? Just Display Preferences is shown, but I swear this is an app (or very similar to another app) with another name.. [11:08] ActionParsnip: So apart from swap, what percentages would you assign to /home and / ? [11:08] distatica, xrandr [11:08] eddym: by the way deluge can move the storage of torrents "on the fly" [11:08] Psinetic: Ubuntu is based on Debian. That mean you should be talking in #debian channel. Makes senses? No. That's why we don't support derivatives. :) [11:08] lorenzosu: 7Gb /, 1xRAM for swap, rest for /home [11:08] bazhang: perfect, and this is a gui tool to that, I can find it now, thanks [11:09] distatica: If you are using NVIDIA its twinview [11:09] distatica, /msg ubottu xrandr for more info [11:09] ActionParsnip: 7Gb seems 'small'.. but I may be wrong? [11:09] *sigh* ok, screw it. i'm just gonna throw ubuntu away then. i'm sick of constantly asking for support because the stupid os is ALWAYS broken, and i have to fix what should ALREADY work. i never get support i ask for anyways, i sit here for hours asking and no one ever helps me. i've been asking for help on this particular problem for nearly a month and this is the first time i've ever heard this [11:09] 940GM unfortunately, thanks bazhang [11:09] lorenzosu: not at all [11:09] lorenzosu: all dpends on the amount of software you plan to install [11:09] lorenzosu: my install occupys just under 3Gb [11:10] erUSUL, cool, now i have a better question..... i used gag bootloader to conifgure mbr.. however, it removed the mbr on my internal drive... i have a working mbr on a cloned external usb drive... how can i restore my internal mbr from the external usb [11:10] ActionParsnip: You use only official software or also do much compile etc? [11:10] where are firefox temp files [11:10] lorenzosu: only the official repos and a few ppas [11:10] eddym: what is "gag bootloader" ? [11:11] erUSUL, gag booatloader allows you to add OS to boot via gui [11:11] eddym: never used it so i can not help with it ... [11:11] erUSUL, however it did not work... [11:11] this reminds me of Dell...you just get the runaround until you finally throw the piece of crap away. >_> [11:11] how i can restore a working mbr though without using livecd [11:12] ActionParsnip: I guess all the rest goes in /home right (downloads, docs etc etc)? [11:12] Psinetic: what is your problem? [11:12] if im trying to play a game from 1995 would ubuntu (the newest one) have trouble executing it? [11:12] don't worry gadget3000, it's not supported. [11:12] eddym: a windows mbr ? grub¿? what do you want in the mbr [11:12] erusal my windows and ubuntu mbr got lost [11:12] got erased [11:13] ActionParsnip: i do not want to have to do that for every single music file type i have there is a way to set each os default applications. they come preinstalled with default ons you cah change them i guess you dont know where [11:13] erUSUL, but i have the original on external [11:13] Psinetic: its build-essential not build-essentials [11:13] brb [11:13] how do you guys pronoun Ubuntu ?

[11:22] I've got an nVidia GT 220 and my monitor supports up to 1280 by 1024 but for some reason I cannot get that resolution and when I force it to that it doesn't fit properly despite 1280 by 1024 working in windows.

[13:08] im having an issue where my logitech g15 keyboard becomes unresponsive (the keyboard entirely, not the gkeys and such), and to fix the issue, ive had to unplug it from the usb port, and plug it back in. it causes issues with the plugins for the keyboard, makes them not work. anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[13:10] klown, go for it [13:10] eXeC001er: i assume you mean set by your router , log in to the router and configure it [13:10] Slart: yes i do [13:10] eXeC001er: you can specify rates in the /et/network/interfaces file. It should autodetect the fastest standard [13:11] Slart: i am solely member of that group [13:11] Slart: at least when i type "groups" [13:11] hallo [13:11] einer hier der der deutschen sprache mächtig ist?

She wants to know if there's a way to keep windows minimized except the window she is working in (auto minimize?) [13:12] Slart: it is the last entry [13:13] When you launch a new app, the previous window minimizes [13:14] Slart: ususally the first user is also in groups like "admin" or "cdrom". But in this case it is only member of its own group [13:14] is there anyone present with a good knowledge of iptables? [13:14] PrototypeX29A: I'm not sure if it's just the user manager in gnome that is acting weird or if it's some other bug. [13:15] hello, how do I scan for bad sectors on a FAT32 system ? [13:15] Slart: [13:15] is there any good prrogram for linux that can make video dvd?

[13:15] gigasoft: i.e. devede, dvdauthor [13:15] Slart: it is defenitely some bigger problem, as i had to add the user to /etc/sudoers to be able to sudo [13:15] Slart: yes, it is [13:15] MindSpark, bad sectors has nothing to do with the filesystem, it's got to do with the pysical disk, it's independant of the file system on that disk [13:15] thank's [13:16] c3101, ok, is there a tool I can use on linux that checks for that ? and how do I avoid writing on them in the future ? [13:16] Slart: i tried to add another user, which failed with. So i maybe got to an undefined state [13:16] can ubuntu run games made in 1995 using wine? [13:16] if your HD has bad sectors replace it [13:16] hello , what does 80 do in sudo update-rc.d local defaults 80 [13:16] Slart: so it could be a bug of the user manager :) [13:16] <|Slacker|> guess so nameo0 [13:16] PrototypeX29A: it seems harsh to recommend a reinstall.. but it might be easier than finding out what went wrong [13:17] Hello [13:17] Ubuntu : ) [13:17] PrototypeX29A: I'm not sure if the user manager is involved in creating the user during the install.. probably not [13:17] Im on ubuntu now [13:17] once it starts to get bad secotrs total disc failure is usually not far away [13:17] Slart: i called it explicitly :) [13:17] looks nice and good [13:17] Slart: the first thing after installation [13:18] PrototypeX29A: oh.. then you don't get admin rights and such.. you'll have to do that yourself [13:18] Guys want to know how to make my desktop icon smaller [13:18] MindSpark, run badblocks [13:18] it is too big [13:18] extremedevilz: sounds like you need to either install video drivers or simply set a higher resolution [13:18] extremedevilz: right click -> stretch icon [13:18] MindSpark, then give that as input to mkfs to not use that bad sectors [13:18] extremedevilz, right-click > stretch icon [13:18] Slart: yes, but i tried to add another user, which did not work [13:18] PrototypeX29A: but I thought that adding your user to the admin group took care of the sudo problem.. [13:18] MindSpark, also MAKE A BACKUP, and go buy a new drive [13:18] Slart: now it is the first user (created during installation), which is affected [13:19] PrototypeX29A: perhaps it's some kind of group you need to be part of to be able to create new users [13:19] c3101, :) already done that [13:19] exactly c3101 [13:19] Slart: no i did not add it to the admin group, i added the name to /etc/sudoers [13:19] PrototypeX29A: but then I would expect the user manager to throw up some kind of error [13:19] Slart: maybe i should at it to the groups [13:19] !netsplit [13:19] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:19] PrototypeX29A: add the username to the admin group.. then I think sudo will pick it up from there [13:19] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [13:20] PrototypeX29A: i have never messed with sudoers and have gotten by fine, the admin group is all you need [13:20] ActionParsnip: but you can not change groups without sudo :) [13:20] this bot sucks [13:21] PrototypeX29A: you can boot to root recovery console to add the user to the group ;) [13:21] guys how to move my start bar down ? [13:21] extremedevilz, drag it [13:21] extremedevilz: its actually a very useful bot, she types the stuff we have to type everyday [13:22] extremedevilz: right click, properties, orientation [13:22] cant [13:22] how [13:22] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[13:23] alabd, inspect the output of "runlevel", and then look in /etc/rcN.d where N is the runlevel [13:23] bah, I tried gwibber, closed it, and I'm still getting updates in my notifications [13:23] extremedevilz: like I said right click it and change orientation in properties [13:24] PrototypeX29A: once you are in admin you can add yourself to any group [13:24] jcbrand_: llutz thanks so they need to be set with update-rc.d [13:24] alabd_: basically yes [13:24] ok so how do I shift my time to that pic [13:25] ActionParsnip: yes, but i don't know which are important :) [13:25] hello [13:25] !hi | Dougdoug5 [13:25] Dougdoug5: Hi!

Obvi‐ [13:27] ously, therefore, the default stop sequence number should be 80.

[14:20] erUSUL: hm, so java and flash will be the problem... (as always) [14:21] extremedevilz_: or maybe add the notification area [14:21] erUSUL: and acroread [14:21] I'm running ubuntu with a CD. My computer is no longer usable since viruses attacked my computer. I can't even boot in safe mode so I was wondering how can I transfer my files from one PC to another using ubuntu? [14:21] iceroot: i heard that flash is aviable for arm (at least smartphones have it) [14:22] how can I find out if a command is aliased? [14:22] iceroot: evince works for me ;) [14:22] chrisw1: run «type command» [14:22] is it pssibile to run mac programs on linux? [14:22] harjot_: no [14:22] without virtualbox etc..? [14:22] Someoneis: mount the ntfs using the live cd, you can access samba shares from the livecd. You SHOULD have a data backup which would make this whole thing easier [14:22] you sure? [14:22] Someoneis: boot the computer using Ubuntu, one your windows drives , then use a USB drive to copy files [14:22] harjot_: vbox cant handle ppc if running on x86 [14:23] erUSUL: sorry, I don't follow.... I want to find otu if "ls" is aliased to anything else, i don't want to run the command if it is aliased... [14:23] because i looked into mol and you require the powerpc processor like you said [14:23] ActionParsnip: I have seen you here before, I think you helped me with something months ago. I will go check it out now. [14:23] so you cant even virtualize mac?? [14:23] harjot_: pretty sure, unless you are talking about unix command line programs that work on MacOS X becouse it is a half breed freebsd [14:23] erUSUL: hm ok, if flash is working it sounds good, java i dont need and for acroread i can use other software. so maybe i will try a new pc using arm [14:23] harjot_: that wont let you run the newer mac apps - ppd = oled macs [14:23] ok [14:24] harjot_: Only if the program is compiled for Linux. A Mac binary won't run on Linux without a virtual environment in place. [14:24] why dont people have backups, its absolutely beyond my comprehension [14:24] what is a usbale vitual environment [14:24] like vmvare or something ? [14:24] harjot_: virtualbox, vmware [14:24] ActionParsnip: they will have backups AFTER the first crash [14:25] iceroot: true, same they have to lear the hardest way [14:25] *learn [14:25] ActionParsnip: sure === cB- is now known as CharelB [14:26] : ) [14:26] harjot_: Any of the virtualization programs that run on Linux and support Mac. Google would be a good place to start looking if you aren't sure. [14:26] harjot_: but only x86 mac os and not the ppc version [14:27] rob_p: even if they support mac, it would be illegal to run mac osX or similar on it [14:27] Does anyone know how to connect to several servers with xchat? [14:27] hello all [14:27] I have an orange livebox and i'm trying to connect to it from my other laptop without success. I turned on the 'pairing' mode on livebox but that failed, any ideas? [14:27] jolaren: /connect servername [14:28] jolaren: thats the way irssi is working and maybe its working on xchat too [14:28] harjot_: I've got several servers running vmware server but none of my appliances are Mac. It's all Linux stuff. So I'm not sure how supported Mac would be under that environment. My guess is it would work. [14:28] llutz: tnx for the info [14:29] rob_p: i'd check the mac license to make sure they allow virtualisation [14:29] rob_p: apple has really strict licenses [14:29] There are some academic pdf files. I need to create a catalogue of them. I need to get the screenshots of seond page of each the pdf file. Are there any commands which can help automate this task? Thanks. [14:29] ActionParsnip: they dont [14:29] ActionParsnip: llutz: Indeed. [14:29] iceroot: didnt think so, apple are morons [14:30] "only to be installed on Apple hardware" bla bla [14:31] llutz: true, virtualised h/w isnt apple h/w [14:31] but shoudnt bsd run mac software? [14:31] ActionParsnip: nope, it's better :) [14:31] llutz: but doesnt look so nice [14:31] rob_p: so IM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO VIRTUALIZE APPLE? [14:31] llutz: and ceaper, mind you....what isn't!! [14:31] harjot_: correct [14:31] harjot_: not legally no [14:31] iceroot: true [14:32] but whos gonna stop me if i do virtualize? [14:32] harjot_: did it come as a suprise? :) [14:32] harjot_: Apparently not. But you can virtualize Linux on a Mac! :-) [14:32] harjot_: apple [14:32] harjot_: apple are one of the most closed minded clownshoes on the planet [14:32] lol yeah [14:32] ActionParsnip: except, the strip stuff down and make it work for their stuff pretty good.

[15:09] i want to upgrade to 9.10 [15:09] nipun: the 9.10 installer can format the old partitions if you tell it to. No need to Uninstall it... [15:09] Dr_Willis. What should I apply?

[15:10] moldy: yes, it doesn't happen with every folder [15:10] erUSUL help please just one code example [15:10] chrisw1: give us a working example [15:10] "working" as in "reproduceable" [15:10] Dr_Willis: i tried it before, but it messed up with my windows xp, and i cudn't boot it...any way to avoid it?

What should I apply to show clamav on the taskbar? [15:12] setting the LANG to '' puts them in the right place alpahbetically [15:12] nipun: then i guess you did somtuing wrong. or the grub got confused. If you are going to reinsatll ubuntu over top of the old. You can just delete the partitions. reboot from cd. and start teh isntaller. [15:13] evergrenn: No idea. thers an av wiki page or 2 out there. [15:13] evergrenn: checck the package manager for clamav - theres really no need for it to show on the 'taskbar' youi use it to scan a location and then its done.

Then rebooted the new notebook but now the [17:24] encrypted folder does not mount giving an ERROR: encrypted private directory is not setup properly. ! Can I do something? [17:25] om26er: ok, brb [17:25] hallo [17:27] hello "all" === kmdm is now known as Guest40572 === Harry is now known as HarryS [17:28] * jozefk_ is lagging: 192 [17:28] test [17:28] I'm having graphics problems today >.< has anyone used a matrox graphics card with ubuntu [17:29] Est-ce qu'il y a un français ici ?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [17:30] xcv: so, what we want now?.. sorry I forgot what we were doing.. :-D [17:30] boa tarde [17:30] sexychats? [17:30] haha [17:30] !br | cinco_ [17:30] cinco_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [17:30] om26er: i think the prop driver in the hardware mod is the same as the canonical?? [17:31] xok: root is on /dev/sdb1, home is on /dev/sdb2... karmic 32bit on sdb, installed fine, updates installed 2.6.31-16-generic, which won't boot (help!). base kernel 2.6.31-14-generic still boots fine. [17:31] is there a way to automatically installed proprietary hardware drivers when installing the system? [17:31] (over tftp) [17:31] i'm using a preseed file [17:31] zama: not all proprietary drivers are good for you [17:31] mahngiel: i need the graphic drivers [17:32] hai [17:32] mahngiel: if available [17:32] xok: you suggested i replace the uuid with /dev/sdb1 but to check fdisk -l first [17:32] xcv: ok, now you do such thing, in the boot menu type "c" and load kernel and initrd manually... [17:32] when load average is 5.94, does it mean 5.94% or 594%??? [17:32] mahngiel: this is a full scale preseeding, so i really don't want to go from machine to machine to install the proprietary hardware drivers afterwards [17:32] xcv: yeah, that also should work.. :-D [17:32] zamba: gotya. [17:32] mahngiel: possible or not? [17:32] nice suggestion.. :-D [17:32] vigge_sWe 5% [17:33] zamab: i don't know. [17:33] k [17:33] xcv: and when entering shell, try: fsck / [17:33] zamba: if all the systems are the same that you're mass installing, you could create your own livecd [17:33] xcv: after that you should be able to boot into your new system... [17:33] so it is reasonable that when I run a http proxy with 18.7k pageviews, only 5% CPU is used? That would be quite nice I guess [17:33] xok: i have never before seen "Partition table entries are not in disk order" [17:33] xok: any cause for concern with that? [17:33] zamba: i don't know whether or not you could script to auto install [17:34] brb. need to reboot [17:34] xcv: I don't thing.. I haven't seen that either.. try first to use /dev/sdb1 instead of UUID... [17:34] sudo nvidia-xconfig [17:34] lol, wrong box [17:34] xcv: oh, yeah... don't remove the UUID line.. [17:34] xcv: just comment it out... [17:34] vigge_sWe it wouldnt make sense to be over %100 unless you have multiple processors. ie an intel i7 with HT enabled shows up as 8 cores. and it might see it as 800% or two quads without HT might produce the same thing [17:35] xcv: if it won't work, come and we'll try to find out what's wrong... [17:35] xok: ty. giving it a shot. [17:35] I think the server got 4 CPUs [17:35] xcv: maybe your new kernel needs some modules/drivers?... [17:35] vigge_sWe: is ~594% --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)#Unix-style_load_calculation [17:35] http://www.datashelf.net/munin/exchangecore.com/lmao.exchangecore.com-load.html so min load is 0.05% or 5%? [17:35] vigge_sWe: load average is not the same as cpu load === xok is now known as FloodBot9 [17:36] oh [17:36] vigge_sWe: see the page i linked [17:36] !join [17:36] hi === FloodBot9 is now known as FloodBot5 === FloodBot5 is now known as xok [17:36] yea min loAD looks like .05% [17:36] hi smith [17:36] xok: if so, i'd be happy for someone to help me figure out how/why, lol. ttyl [17:37] xcv: I mean you should update all those modules/drivers... [17:37] xcv: running "depmod" should work... [17:38] hi [17:38] is there a way i can lock a user's screen such that he cannot unlock it himself? [17:38] xok: base kernel boots fine; after updates the new kernel fails to boot. well, will try editing the grub menu to replace uuid with /dev/sdb1 and see how it goes [17:38] so if I wanna do a gauge from 1 -> 100% (or 400% if there is 4 CPUs), how would I be able to calculate that? [17:39] xcv: also new kernel may expect new modules to be looaded... [17:39] vigge_sWe: what are you trying to do ? [17:39] I cant get video to work on this server. It was running kubuntu and I installed a matrox card and now no video... I wanted to switch it to ubuntu anyway so i did sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop and still no video [17:39] xcv: for that purpose you may run "depmod"... don't forget to check "uname -a".. if you're in the new kernel...

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [17:43] nope, I didn't know load average != CPU usage before you told me, I would want it to go from 0% - 100% (You might see that I am a windows user xD), is there a shell command to get the CPU usage? [17:43] <_magez_> mka, i have a file jhiaptha.sql which is a table from a different database, now i want to add it into my database which is missing that table, how do i do it?

Any ideas how to overcome this issue The following packages have unmet dependencies: [17:55] vmware-player-2.5: Depends: vmware-workstation-6.5-kernel-modules but it is not installed [17:55] E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. [17:55] bambam_, does the network icon on the panel indicate that you are connected? check your network interface if ever you IP address is assigned properly and that your DNS settings are set appropriately. if you are behind proxy, configure proxy settings accordingly [17:56] phani, are you trying to install the package or uninstall it?

[17:58] tolpico: congrats... ;-) [17:58] phani, it seems counter intuitive, but try installing the package that it says is missing before uninstalling [17:58] xok, ok will check with that [17:58] mka: yeah , it shows I am connected, it gives me an ip address, I can ping any website without problem, there are no proxy , I have also set direct connection and checked firefox settings too [17:58] phani, use sudo apt-get install *missing package name* [17:58] I havent made any dns related changes though [17:58] slibuntu:how can i find what the packages are missing. any ideas ? [17:59] mka: the command ifconfig shows that connection is there and everthing is fine [17:59] phani, vmware-workstation-6.5-kernel-modules is the one you are missing [17:59] so run 'sudo apt-get install vmware-workstation-6.5-kernel-modules' [17:59] mka: also tried ifup eth and ifdown to check but no luck [18:00] bambam_, you can ping google.com? [18:00] mka: yes but can not tracert it ! [18:00] One one of my machines I don't have sudo, but I want to install python-module with c-extensions. Can I unpack it in my home directory and move files around such that python as run by me will still find everything? [18:00] slibuntu: so i ran the command which you have given and I think it was successful. [18:00] I mean unpack a compiled .deb [18:01] mka: I played with network tools to check connection issues but obviously I am missing something [18:01] slibuntu: so shall i try uninstall and see if it works now ?

[18:06] phani, did somehting go wrong when you installed vmplayer? [18:06] It just doesnt let me use network connection for any application whether it is firefox or system update or apt-get or anything, I can't even try trace route command [18:06] mka: it just allows ping thats all after getting connected [18:06] slibuntu:actually i tried installing vmplayer 3 but it didn't work. So my vmplayer doesn't open at all. So I tried uninstalling it but now it doesn't work at all [18:07] bambam_: ping 78.46.202.4 is working but ping alpha-unix.de is not working? [18:07] mka: I have trashed mozile conf files, deleted eth0 connection and created new one but doesnt work [18:07] mka: the problem is more complex [18:07] mka: it can ping ip address as well as fqdns [18:08] bambam_, is the firefox's "Work offline" checkbox checked [18:08] mka: so I can ping google.com as well as the ip address of google server [18:08] hey is it possible to hook up two monitors of different resolutions ( 1440 x900 and 1368 x 768 ) to a graphic card (8600GTS) with dual output ports on ubuntu 8.04LTS [18:08] ?

Compiz seems to have stopped working - I've lost all my effects and so on. Are there any logs I can look at? [18:09] bambam_: can you "telnet google.com 80" ? [18:09] bambam_, can you browse a site like google by it's IP address? [18:09] bambam_: to pinpoint the problem: try w3m www.google.com (its a text based browser) [18:09] and what is a non rectangular desktop [18:09] ? [18:09] One that is not a rectangle. [18:09] mister_roboto: I havent tried telneting google, but tried telnet my router which worked [18:09] :/ [18:10] bambam_: i'm just wondering whether it will connect beyond your router [18:10] so some space on each of the monitor will be left blank? [18:10] mka: no I can not browse by ip either [18:10] InsomniaCity, there was something like compiz-check back in the day, google for it [18:10] Soundaholic: i've done that before, the second screen kinda went a bit funny. i find nvidia twinview easier to operate with identical resolution screens, however you can use it configured as two separate X servers easily. [18:10] how can I add a new user with an encrypted home directory? [18:10] mister_roboto: then how does it ping google.com ? [18:10] Soundaholic: no, the monitors will be fully used. Only that the pointer for instance jumps when you move it between screens vertically because of the differing resolutions. [18:10] slibuntu:any more ideas which i can try in uninstalling the existing version [18:10] InsomniaCity, otherwise type "compiz --replace" on terminal and check the messages that come out [18:11] if i remove a package using 'apt-get remove' it removes the package but leaves configuration files there. I can avoid this by using apt-get remove, but if i use 'apt-get autoremove' to unistall a bunch of packages there's no way of removing the configuration files. Now my question is, if i uninstalled a bunch of packges using apt-get autoremove is there anyway to automatically remove the configuration files of all of that packag [18:11] phani, having a look around, can't find anything in relation to your error, and it's not something I've seen before [18:11] the desktop as an abstract canvas has an unusual shape, and it's a minor annoyance when moving things between desktops, working out good dual-monitor backgrounds, and so on.

[18:15] inferno_daulXEON: try this then « sudo xorg -configure » that generates a xorg.conf that you can then modify [18:15] and mister_roboto for testing the connection there are many apps better suited than firefox anyway [18:15] inferno_daulXEON: yes and it works in cmos, on windows, and in ubuntu. Just not at grub. :/ [18:15] guntbert: that is why i suggested telnet [18:15] to port 80 [18:15] fwiffo, what about bringing it back and enabling automatic login? [18:16] I opened firefox with the terminal to see any errors, I went to yahoo games, and it crashed with a segmentation fault. [18:16] does anyone know how good the pentium dual core processors are compared to a core 2 duo [18:16] surely this is a bug in firefox? [18:16] mister_roboto: which was "a very sensible thing" (TM) :-) - and I will not bother you any more [18:16] steveccc: pentium dual core <<< what generation of pentium ? [18:16] fwiffo, anyway which sound are you referring to then? [18:16] mka: not an option, i just want to disable this clusterfuck. but when i do, i have no sound. [18:16] emmy: Sounds like it, but I've never had any problems with Yahoo Games before... You sure Java is properly installed? [18:16] steveccc: i run an E2810 2GHz pentium dualcore in my file server, i bought it thinking it was a c2d embarassingly, but it performs well and is quite low power with speedstep enabled. they're very capable processors imo [18:17] Gaming4JC - i thought it was worth asking. If you don't have it turned on your keyboard will work when in BIOS and activate when the OS loads but not during the grub menu. [18:17] fwiffo, is your language friendly to my kids? [18:17] * Gaming4JC ponders grub bug... [18:17] bambam_: tracert runs as your regular user id, unlike ping. so it's looking like an access control type of problem [18:17] anyone help with my question up there ^^ please... I dont want to re-install unless really necessary :( [18:17] any idea on how to fix "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block.."; i got this when upgrading from 2.6.31.15 to ...16 [18:17] mister_roboto: you mean to say I need elevate user permissions over here ? [18:18] inferno_daulXEON: I'll double check cmos [18:18] brb [18:18] :) [18:18] steveccc: core2 duo is way better than pentiums [18:18] Guys I need help to figure out something. MY BELKIN USB WIFI is only giving a very low internet speed. and im paying for a 25 [18:18] erUSUL sudo xorg -configure doesnt work... is it xserver-xorg -configure? [18:18] dsl_: ask again [18:19] Guys I need help to figure out something. MY BELKIN USB WIFI is only giving a very low internet speed. and im paying for a 25 MBS connection. any ideas? the linux driver for is is bust i need help. (it worked out of the box) but SLOW [18:19] inferno_daulXEON: Xorg with capital X (linux is case sensitive ya'know ;P) [18:19] dsl_: have you tried mounting it from a livecd or similar? [18:19] soundaholic: was asking as man of the cheap laptops seem to be pentium dual core than core 2 duo [18:19] erUSUL haha silly me [18:19] gaming4jc -- it's possible i have installed java twice because i used some auto installer thing from java itself and also some thing from synaptic [18:19] i installed and ran Gramps a program on a relatively fresh install of karmic. it crashed big time and ended up shutting down. now i have 'Mount of filesystem failed' on boot with error - Invalid RT chipset detected [18:20] fix "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block.."; i got this when upgrading from 2.6.31.15 to ...16" [18:20] steveccc: to be honest i'd avoid the pentium dual cores on the basis that they're 1) older 2) (i think) all lack hardware virtualisation support, which may or may not be a concern for you but is for me [18:20] core 2 duos are cheap [18:20] i used UNR cd to check disk...says its ok [18:20] but i dint mount the HD [18:20] raj: what is "very low internet speed"? [18:20] even those in lower end range are much better than pentiums [18:20] what' [18:20] try E4400 [18:20] what's the recommended way for disabling gdm? [18:20] mister_roboto, mka, guntbert: thanks for the tips, I will try and comeback [18:20] if its still available === TurbosoniC3 is now known as TurbosoniC [18:21] if i comment /etc/X11/default-display-manager, my sound stops working [18:21] bambam_: Good luck :-) [18:21] im not sure how to uninstall the java from the autoinstall bin thing [18:21] is there a way to create reverse tunnel from server to client - after the connection is established? [18:21] daftykins: oh i would always opt for core duo but trying to help the mother in law buy a laptop and I think for her browsing and watching a few videos they may be ok [18:21] fwiffo: are you planning on falling back to xinit or something? [18:21] guntbert: thanks [18:21] aeon-ltd: yeah [18:22] steveccc: ah right yeah, that'd be plenty then - my 2GHz pentium dualcore runs two VMs and a host OS and is very speedy, so the average light web user would be fine [18:22] hey if i want a cron job to run every 2 minutes would it be */2 * * * * [18:22] anyone know how to fix "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block.." when trying to boot up? i got this when upgrading from 2.6.31.15 to ...16 [18:22] fwiffo: why not just apt-get remove gdm? after setting up .xinitrc?

[18:23] aeon-ltd: i could apt-get remove it if i knew that my sound would work again [18:23] inferno_daulXEON: care to paste the exact output ?

[18:25] aeon-ltd: i've checked alsamixer, everything is unmutted and maxed out [18:25] I got some thing i downloaded from java that i thought gave you java applet ability, it was an auto-installing executable binary, now how do I uinstall that? [18:25] daftykins: removed the usb wireless stick and booting now just shows 'mount of filesystem failed a maintenance shell will be started' and get a prompt [18:25] Sabari, look in your BIOS settings for boot order, and make sure CD is before hard disk [18:25] Yes [18:25] fwiffo: like you said check daemons [18:25] I am able to boot to the CD only if I remove the Harddisk [18:25] inferno_daulXEON: ok; so maybe to test the new config you just have to « sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf » then restart gdm [18:26] dsl_: so you fsck'd using UNR? [18:26] alrighty then. [18:26] aeon-ltd: maybe i should dbus-launch it, i'll try that [18:26] brb [18:27] daftykins: er, i used UNR disk to check integrity of disk and it says all ok... fsck = filesystem check?

I've searched all over I can't find where these are actually defined in [18:33] dsl_: is it a desktop computer? custom build? very old?

[18:59] it says the live filesystem cannot be found [18:59] poweriso [18:59] it works on other computers [18:59] i meet all the requirements [19:00] which nvidia driver in the repo should I use for me NVIDIA GeForce G210M ? [19:00] paulus68: you have IP forwarding enabled already i take it? [19:00] *my [19:00] now gnome indicator applet is bugging me :| [19:00] genii: So before I can fresh install I need to back-up files. So we have to go back to what we were doing. [19:00] Is there a way to shut its mouth? [19:00] so the problem is related to the pc [19:01] laptop? [19:01] daftykins: yes I do, everything is working like it should however I can't establish a connection directly to my laptop behind the server [19:01] ah sorry wrong channel, meant to post it at ubuntu offtopic :-S [19:01] the hardware? no its a desktop with 1 gb ram and 320gb hard drive [19:01] genii: should I download the 32 bit or 64 bit live cd for kk? [19:01] paulus68: have you tried using wireshark to sniff incoming packets and determine the point of failure? [19:02] ikor: doesn't hardware/restricted drivers offer a driver? [19:02] FatherBadTouch: If you pastebin results of: sudo fdisk -l then we can try to deduce from that which partitions to mount and retrieve your data from. As for 32 or 64 bit, it depends on what processor(s) you have. although 32 works in either case === TomateFrito is now known as BlouBlou [19:02] bastid_raZor, no, it doesn't say anything [19:03] daftykins: I want to forward for example radmin which uses standard port 4899(which is going to be changed) [19:03] genii: amd 62x2 [19:03] genii: 64x2 [19:03] ikor: 9.10 normally installs them for you. [19:03] was .ecryptfs carried out to /home with Karmic update or did I mess up something? [19:03] bastid_raZor, the open source drivers are installed at the moment [19:04] genii: http://pastebin.com/m7cadab42 [19:04] FatherBadTouch: Thats a 64bit, you can d/l the 64bit [19:04] does unetbootin/netbookremix no longer work? I can't get my usbdrive to boot the latest release [19:05] ciao a tuti [19:05] !it | spank [19:05] spank: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [19:06] sorry Pici :D [19:06] daftykins: No since I don't know how to use it have heard from the program [19:06] paulus68: usually with port forwards i like to have nmap scans to test to show whether the port remains 'filtered' 'closed' or 'open' - that and wireshark or tcpdump to diagnose the problem would be handy. beyond that i'm afraid i'm too much of a newbie to diagnose iptables configs [19:06] is your router pure CLI? [19:07] FatherBadTouch: OK, so open up Terminal and in there: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt and this will splice the old linux install into the directory of /mnt [19:07] ikor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto you can look here for which driver best supports your card. [19:08] i want to set up a wireless network between 4 pc. How to do this in Ubuntu? The network will be mainly used by linux users [19:08] genii: kk, now what? [19:08] daftykins: on my server it's iptables that are used as router [19:08] FatherBadTouch: You should be able then to browse to /mnt/home/your-old-username and find whatever files you wanted to salvage [19:08] paulus68: ok nevermind [19:08] Why can I not ping my other ubuntu machine, yet when he pings me it starts working from my side. [19:08] bastid_raZor, i did an update and now 'hardware drivers' has found three drivers [19:08] daftykins: what are the commands for nmap and how would I use wireshark to find out if everything is working correctly? [19:08] thanks [19:08] msg nickserv identify pie3141 [19:09] ikor: nice, try the one it recommends [19:09] FatherBadTouch: Work requires me, I'll be /away 5-10 minutes [19:09] damn [19:09] paulus68: does your server have X installed so you can use GUI apps, or is it CLI only? (command line interface) [19:09] hikenboot: change your pasword [19:09] yeah , now i have to figure out how [19:09] daftykins: only CLI [19:10] paulus68: from on someone elses internet connection i would do "nmap -sS -p 3000-3005 " to scan ports 3000-3005 for example [19:12] Pici: you still around? [19:12] whats the difference between ubuntu and the ubuntu server edition... is it just a cd with different set of packages on it? If sombody installed a very basic slimed down version of ubuntu can they just install the server packages on it to make it the same as the server edition? [19:13] luisgmarine: Yes [19:13] daftykins: but I can scan my external ip the same way or am I wrong? [19:13] ShaunR: yes [19:13] ShaunR: server cmes without a gui and a special kernel [19:13] ShaunR: and server-edition is using pae as default (imo) [19:13] hikenboot: /msg nickserv help [19:13] daftykins: or do I have to run over my dyndns? [19:13] paulus68: i'm not sure if it will give correct results from inside the network [19:13] so it's all the same crap... just different packages installed by default. [19:13] Pici: cool, gona e-mail the dude that makes the builds and ask him if there is any way to make an updated one for ubuntu hardy. [19:13] iceroot, what is pae? [19:13] i usually scan from someone elses internet connection [19:13] can I make a hidden partition vidible using fdisk in ubuntu ? [19:13] any one of them can be converted using apt pretty much [19:14] mka: the possibility of using more then 4gb ram with 32bit [19:14] Pici: you wouldn't happen to know a fix around why my ipod isn't detectable in banshee do you? I tried the "killall -9 nautilus" fix that I use in karmic but it just freezes my whole computer on Hardy [19:14] ok here goes, my original question before exposing my password..I have created an encrypted swap file ( just for the fun of it). After setting it up it appears to be enabled but it never uses it! do i have to do something besides swapon -a and a reboot? [19:14] Regarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but I can't tell if it's 32 bit only or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches? How to tell? [19:14] mka: Physical Address Extension [19:15] is there a way to install linux mint without formating over my ubuntu/ [19:15] luisgmarine: I've never actually used Banshee, sorry. === pd is now known as Guest92675 [19:15] How do I get the livecd to recognize my second dvd drive? [19:15] I am trying to add a static route in my ubuntu hardy machine, however I am using the gnome-network manager and the /etc/network/interfaces has no references for my wlan0 could that be why when i add the up line in that files it does not work? [19:15] eman: you can make a new partition [19:15] eman: otherwise no [19:15] Pici: damn that sucks [19:15] hikenboot, this may be no help to you, but I'd think swapon -a is unnecessary if you're about to reboot anyway [19:15] Pici: o well time to keep googling then [19:15] adamkex would that dual boot it? [19:15] hikenboot: did you add an entry in /etc/fstab for it? [19:16] hello! For some reason compiz only works on one user and cannot be enabled on the other. I'm using the open source ati driver. [19:16] eman: yes [19:16] yes i did and also /etc/cryptab [19:16] adamkex thanks il just format it [19:16] eman: in the future you should considering to have a partition for /home [19:17] eman: so you don't lose personal data when you reformat/reinstall [19:17] How do I mount my second dvd drive while running the livd cd? [19:17] hi all, i have to set up a wireless network between 4 ubuntu pc.. how to do it? [19:17] matteo1990: without any hardware? [19:18] Why does ubuntu put excessive load cycles on my laptop hdd? [19:18] FatherBadTouch: If you stick something in the second drive, like a readable CD or a blank, it should pop up a notice and ask what you want to do [19:18] daftykins, they are all connected to the same wireless router [19:18] daftykins: when I use your command on the open port then I get this output 5001/tcp filtered unknown [19:18] genii: wb, it does not. [19:18] adamkex: don't try it [19:18] Is there a wya to install the latest google earth besides the .bin file? Or is the bin file the way to go? [19:18] konman: huh? [19:18] !medibuntu | jason_ [19:18] jason_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:18] jason_: there is a repo from google [19:18] adamkex thanks [19:18] oh no kidding? [19:18] eman: you're welcome [19:18] jason_: besides medibuntu [19:19] paulus68: isn't it 4899 you want to test? === janhouse_ is now known as Janhouse [19:19] I didnt realize google earth was in medibuntu... [19:19] FatherBadTouch: What is result of command in Terminal of: ls /dev/cd* [19:19] so if the repo is includedinmedibuntu, and I got that, what do I need? sudo apt-get install googleearth? [19:19] daftykins: true but I checked one for which I know it's open but with access to my server only [19:19] Hi, I have recently recompiled my kernel to 2.6.25.4 and now I dont have sound. Any ideas ? [19:19] jason_: yes; or use synaptic [19:19] matteo1990: they should already be all connected then with IP addresses in the same range [19:19] adamkex: didn't work out for me somehow [19:19] genii: "/dev/cdrom /devcdrom1 /devcdrw1" [19:20] konman: what, dual boot? or /home partition? [19:20] S0LIDUS: we can not support custom kernels. maybe you just left out the sound driver when compiling ... [19:20] paulus68: if that was scanning internally then it probably won't work [19:20] erUSUL - well Im on kubuntu... no synaptic installed. I was in add/remove in system settings but I didnt find any google earth package besides the data files. [19:20] daftykins, yea, they are, but how to have shared library or to copy files from a pc to another? [19:20] jason_: "adept" then [19:20] daftykins: I ran that scan from my external ip address [19:20] genii: /dev/cdrom1 /dev/cdrw1 [19:20] erUSUL - How can I add that ? [19:20] erUSUL - adept doesnt ring a bell. Let me browse around to see if I have it here. [19:20] How can I stop apache in ubuntu? [19:20] home partition would be awesome but somehow it kept unmounting [19:21] BlouBlou: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [19:21] erUSUL - kpackagekit? [19:21] matteo1990: i think you need to look into samba [19:21] jason_: could be [19:21] Regarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but I can't tell if it's 32 bit only or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches? How to tell? [19:21] FatherBadTouch: It's seeing it. cdrom1 is most likely. Did you put a blank cd in, to copy off what you wanted to save? [19:21] iceroot: yeah, thanks [19:21] erUSUL - no dice. I wonder what kubuntus synaptic is??? [19:21] daftykins, i thought samba was only for cross system condivision, i am only with unix (all ubuntu) [19:21] genii: I did. Unbuntu hasn't liked using both drives at the same time though. [19:21] konman: that means you did something wrong, i have had one for over two years :P [19:21] !info adept [19:21] xD [19:21] adept (source: adept): package management suite for KDE.

Version 3.0~beta7.2ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 369 kB, installed size 1308 kB [19:22] here is my crypttab and fstab http://pastebin.ca/1730994 [19:22] !samba | daftykins [19:22] daftykins, please see my private message [19:22] konman: ;) [19:22] !samba | matteo1990 [19:22] matteo1990, please see my private message [19:22] FatherBadTouch: You should be able to open up Brasero and tell it to use cdrom1 in it's settings [19:22] matteo1990: yeah you can use NFS / SFTP etc for same host sharing i suppose [19:23] FatherBadTouch, are you trying to mount a CD/DVD on drive B while you have a LiveCD on drive A? [19:23] have you tried just right clicking on a folder and sharing it? [19:23] erUSUL, So how can I add the sound driver? [19:23] does anyone know what's this user account: 'irc' [19:23] my usb hub does not always have enough power for my home hd all the time :( [19:23] can i tell my system to look for ~/.config files at ~/.local/config ? [19:23] daftykins, maybe thats the easier solution, trying it right now [19:23] Mo, Internet Relay Chat ! [19:23] Mo: do you have an irc server installed? [19:23] i dont [19:23] Mo: where is that account> [19:24] konman: your home partition should NOT be an external drive ;p [19:24] mka: yes [19:24] i know now [19:24] konman: it makes it easier for me to read what you write if you write my name when you write to me [19:25] i dont see irc's user folder in /home though. [19:25] adamkex: ok [19:25] daftykins: but how would I use wireshark to check port 5001 and why it's blocking on my server? [19:25] FatherBadTouch, are you inserting a data CD, audio CD or a blank CD? [19:25] mka: blank cd [19:26] FatherBadTouch, can you try inserting a data CD? [19:26] paulus68: it's a GUI tool really, you might be able to install it and X forward SSH to the router PC and run it on another machine over the network - but otherwise i think tcpdump is the best for that - but i have no experience with it [19:26] konman: yeah, assuming you don't run windows or any other os, you should split your harddrive at least 15gb for the root partition ( / ), 20 is better, 1gb for the swap partition, and the rest for your home partition :) [19:26] Regarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but how to tell if it's 32 bit only, or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches? [19:26] adamkex: opensuse does that [19:26] daftykins: I know it's a gui I have installed it on my windows to see what I can do with it [19:27] mka: it opened it in a browser [19:27] FatherBadTouch, imho, you cannot mount a blank cd [19:27] FatherBadTouch, then it works [19:27] paulus68: yes but on the router is where i'd run it in order to sniff what's coming in and out of that system ;) [19:27] mka: so why doesn't it recognize a blank dvd? [19:27] konman: i have never ran opensuse :P i sometimes use ubuntu, arch, and gentoo, so many times i have to do a lot of the stuff myself [19:27] haha arch is fun [19:27] daftykins: jikes blond moment [19:27] Mo: irc is a group not a user.. [19:28] konman: yeah, you can try the ubuntu mini cd, that will give you a _VERY_ minimalistic system [19:28] FatherBadTouch, try to burn a blank dvd and see if the burner app can find it instead of nautilus popup [19:28] Help! I have no sound on my hardy heron. I have a custom kernel. [19:28] konman: where you decide what packages you can use :P [19:28] \help [19:28] \quit [19:28] bastid_raZor: whats the group is for..it seems that this group is created by default [19:28] krzychu_: / [19:29] adamkex: i use this strategy on server installs [19:29] mka: it does not... [19:30] FatherBadTouch, is your drive capable of writing dvd's? [19:30] mo@x:~$ cat /etc/passwd | grep irc [19:30] irc:x:39:39:ircd:/var/run/ircd:/bin/sh [19:30] adamkex: there is also a very minimal debian iso [19:30] konman: minimalistic installations? minimalistic systems are fun, arch, gentoo, ubuntu, debian, whatever, it's all linux and gnu in the end :P [19:30] Mo: its normal [19:30] Mo: so irc $home is /var/run/ircd [19:30] Allo [19:31] mka: you know what, I just noticed that this stupid comp has a dvd-rom and dvd-rw [19:31] mka: so where can I save this iso of the live cd I'm downloading? [19:32] FatherBadTouch, on the hard drive [19:32] What happened to being able to freely customize software. Or is that where your on your own. [19:32] hmm === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [19:32] can anyone offer a good argument as to why install ubuntu over than mint (except mint sucks and other useless remarks) ? Is there like any obvious reasons to why ubuntu would be better, linux knowledge is not a issue for deciding.. .. [19:32] mka: do you mind sticking around for a second. I need to reboot with the livecd in the rom. [19:32] I've just fired up apache for the first time, and I'm getting the "It Works" page, even though I have /var/www/ populated with stuff [19:32] FatherBadTouch, no prob [19:33] craigbass1976: you need to specify the default directory in the /etc/apache2/default-sites/ or /enabled-sites/ or something "default" config file [19:33] S0LIDUS: its very difficult to support a system about which's specialities you know nothing.... [19:33] craigbass1976, Check your httpd.conf and your virtual host file. [19:33] craigbass1976: apache is using first the index.html [19:33] guntbert, I just need to get sound back.

When kernel changes things become really annoying [20:05] KenBW2, I agree, I tried MythTV today but that really is pain to setup at the moment [20:05] invisime: so it makes the links in /etc/rcN.d/ automatically [20:05] KenBW2, you have to use w_scan for DVB [20:05] invisime: info about system V init systems is readily aviable on the web [20:05] guntbert, Thanks for your support!

[20:36] Y2K has nothing on IPv6. [20:36] hi all, [20:36] crc32: No point in it. my ISP isn't ready. [20:36] mka don't know what partitions to change [20:37] Cletus, dunno yet, still doing it. [20:37] crc32: And they're not going to bother any time soon. (I know.... I work for my ISP.) [20:37] FatherBadTouch, tought you said you want to replace the older version of ubuntu? [20:37] Is there any software tool available which can read the file header and tell which filetype it is ?? [20:37] is it possible to get atop to only show dsk lines? [20:37] muhammad_: file [20:37] and a lot of them? [20:37] muhammad_: file foo [20:37] is there anyone that can help me with a IPtable problem [20:37] FatherBadTouch: what install option did you use (side-by-side, or manual?) [20:37] canthus13: i think the gateway is set correctly, its 192.168.1.1, that is the router address, and i dont understand the 2º question [20:37] Cletus, manual [20:37] Hi everyone I got a question about my wireless card on KDE 4. I just installed it on top of GNOME the card worked fine on GNOME and work after the KDE installation. for some reason (unknown to me) it stopped working.. I see it when running lshw but when running iwlist wlan0 I get No scan results..any ideas? [20:37] mka, I do. [20:38] FatherBadTouch, select those partitions that had ubuntu and make sure that they are formated before installation [20:38] thanks guys [20:38] FatherBadTouch, but have you backed up everything you want from these partitions? [20:38] llutz: Yes, I did mount like you say. [20:38] dangermind: that should be correct. How about the subnet mask? [20:38] canthus13: Thats what I don't get Once we run out of IPv4 addresses what are ISPs going to do for new customers. I don't want to turn into russia were every one is NATed on a 172.16/12 or 10/8 [20:38] I'm having trouble after I managed somewhot to munge my grub install (moving from 1.5 to 2.0), I had a dual boot box, but now I can boot anything, or even get the liveCD to work. [20:39] hi just installed ubuntu remix on asus 1005ha and the X is slow and drivers are not loaded === jolaren is now known as Kashind [20:39] canthus13: 255.255.255.0 [20:39] Not every one but its common for ISPs in russia to do so. [20:39] mka, yes I backedup what I needed. The error I'm getting is"no root file system is defined" [20:39] I can boot an old copy fo DamnSmallLinux (1.5) but don't know enough about drives and such to see what's [20:39] broken [20:39] I do not know why but for some reason Transmission starts torrents that I have stopped.Pls help [20:39] dangermind: Wow. everything sounds fine. maybe a router setting denying access? Try changing the IP of the server and see if that fixes it. [20:40] any suggestions for how to recover my files? [20:40] iceroot: "if /usr/bin/[ -z "$(/usr/bin/pgrep gnome-do)" ]; then /usr/bin/gnome-do &>output.txt; fi" gives an empty file [20:40] tom-v415: Try Supergrub? [20:40] mka, with the ext3 partition, should I mount that as home or root or leave it blank? [20:40] vlad: try asking at #transmission [20:40] Simple question...If I unmount my pendrive is it ready to unplug it? [20:40] canthus13: i think all about the network configuration its ok because i have internal connectivity, and i can connect from other pcs to the files throw the samba server installed [20:40] canthus13: sounds promising... I'll google for Suergrub. [20:40] ok yhx [20:40] ok thx [20:40] hattoricaca1: you are checking if the output of grep is non-zero, correct? and then you start it [20:41] P1R1: yes [20:41] hattoricaca1: dont you think you want, if grep returns nothing you want start it? [20:41] kenpark: Thanks [20:41] canthus13: how do i do that? [20:41] iceroot: the test is "if pgrep returns nothing" [20:41] soopos: hmm, thought that works. anyway, take erUSULs suggestion and move that folder to neutral place. unix-permissions won't allow to share that folder [20:42] hattoricaca1: man test -z = non-zero === egoTripper88 is now known as topgun21 [20:42] hattoricaca1: mom i will look at the manpage [20:42] dangermind: Over ssh? Hrm... [20:42] FatherBadTouch, hmm, too bad we did not discuss about the partitioning structure of your hard drive. anyway, select the a big enough drive and make it's mount point to / and ensure that it will be formated. you can stick to ext3 or go ahead with ext4. [20:42] hi i need some help here [20:42] can anyone recommend a background wallpaper changer which doesn't have an icon on the taskbar? [20:42] hattoricaca1: sorry, my fault [20:42] like drapes? [20:42] im trying to make my wlan work on a packerd bell dot s [20:42] FatherBadTouch, do you know how many partitions are you having? [20:43] but i have no idea whatsoever what to do [20:43] canthus13: yes, and via web, by the webmin. https://192.168.1.36:10000 [20:43] iceroot: no problem, i'm thinking maybe could be no "$DISPLAY" in cron's env? [20:43] !enter | prince [20:43] prince: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:43] hattoricaca1: could be [20:44] mka, three, 1 ext3 - for ubuntu, 1ntfs - for win7 and 1 swap - for well mem swap [20:44] dangermind: I suppose you could do it more easily via webmin. you'd just have to reconnect to it at the new IP after confirming the change. [20:44] ok so the question was can annyone help me make my wlan work its a packerd bell dot s and i have no idea what to do i tryed ndiswrapper but im thinking im doeing something wrong please help [20:44] dangermind: canthus13: please be aware that webmin is no longer supported on ubuntu [20:45] how can i move me to a #ubuntu-es Forum?? [20:45] FatherBadTouch, that is simpler than I thought, use the ext3 filesystem. select it and select the mount point to be / [20:45] tomase__: /join #ubuntu-es [20:45] tomase__: /join #ubuntu-es [20:45] hi [20:45] mka, great I just needed to change the blank mount point to / [20:45] FatherBadTouch, make sure the format box is checked [20:45] prince: what errors is ndiswrapper giving you [20:45] hattoricaca1: working at bash? [20:45] prince: You could open a terminal and type "iwconfig" [20:45] guntbert: Which is a rather silly decision. ebox is a bit obtuse for beginners. [20:46] FatherBadTouch, you can continue then [20:46] i have problem with grub. i need boot windows xp which is on other HDD [20:46] prince: on the other hand you could go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo and check. [20:46] sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [20:46] FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory [20:46] iceroot: yes, that's what puzzles me [20:46] hattoricaca1: then its a missing env-entry [20:47] canthus13: it was not my decision - it wasn't even one from the ubuntu people - and ebox on karmic looks *much* more usable than it used to [20:47] hattoricaca1: running cron as the same user as on bash? [20:47] guntbert: what?? [20:47] iceroot: dya know from where it's better to source/import env? [20:47] ok il go with the site for now il tell you wheter it worked or noth [20:47] !webmin | dangermind [20:47] dangermind: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [20:47] guntbert: I haven't tried it yet.... I'm still running Hardy on my server. [20:47] i try [20:47] root (hd1,0) [20:47] makeactive [20:47] chainloader +1 [20:47] mka, under migrate documents and settings, do I want to select anything? [20:47] Mr_Nou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:47] hattoricaca1: i am always typing it by hand in cron [20:47] hattoricaca1: maybe not the best way bot working [20:48] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10/AMD64. I'm wondering where the /proc/bus/usb/* devices are? [20:48] iceroot: k i'm trying that [20:48] but it didnt work [20:48] FatherBadTouch, if you backed up everything, you rather select nothing [20:48] I'm reading some documentation that refers to "/proc/bus/usb/003/001" and similar, and I don't have any of these files on my machine. [20:48] guntbert ubottu, its better to use ebox?? [20:48] FatherBadTouch, I never ever used this option [20:48] Mr_Nou: sudo apt-get install os-prober [20:49] *crosses fingers* here goes everything mka [20:49] necroforest: needs usbfs which afaik is disabled in *buntu [20:49] dangermind: well - I don't really like ebox - but I dare not use webmin [20:50] guntbert: and ebox is supported in ubuntu? [20:50] can someone help me trouble shoot my system? everytime I first boot up and log in the desktop becomes completely unresponsive, I can't click on anything. I have to got to tty1 and killall -u and relogin to get the system to respond again. not sure how to troubleshoot this [20:50] kenpark: thx i try that [20:51] !info ebox | dangermind [20:51] dangermind: ebox (source: ebox): common library used by eBox platform modules.

[20:53] FatherBadTouch, be patient [20:53] guntbert: ok, in the future i will use ebox instead of webmin [20:54] obrigado [20:54] FatherBadTouch, go get a cup of coffee or something [20:54] progre55: you mean when it's booting before the linux login comes up? [20:54] tom-v415: No problem. [20:54] prorgre55: can't you do that from the setup menu at boot? [20:54] dangermind: well I only installed it in a VM, not sure if I will keep the beast) [20:54] mister_roboto: yep [20:55] progre55: use the bios for that [20:55] Hello, what program can I use to take several thousand time-lapse photographs and put them together to form a time-lapse video? [20:55] progre55: a lot of BIOSes let you do that [20:55] how can i check which ip is default for my wireless , i think i changed it to something like 192.168.1.5 , but now no responce.. [20:55] progre55: press f10 or whatever the setup command is at boot [20:55] progre55: it's independent of the operating system [20:55] progre55: in fact, you won't even get the bios menu unless you enter the PW [20:55] guntbert: well, that is ok, but my problem not is with webmin, mi problem is with my dns configuration, i think [20:56] baldaris: use dhcp [20:56] necroforest: /etc/fstab entry like: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=120,devmode=664 0 0 [20:56] iceroot, thanks [20:56] progre55: are you getting what they are telling you ?

[21:04] n00p: You should wait for a very long time, maybe days or weeks then it will magically be fixed :-) Other than that I suggest to hold down the power button for 30seconds and then let it go.

The Sound preferences app is set to IEC958 Digital Stereo... but it won't do any more channels than that. i've tried adding "default-sample-ch === david is now known as Guest39526 [21:12] I just tried Alpha 1 of Ubuntu 10.04 lynx, I notice that the shutdown menu was moved. You need to make this more obvious cause users upgrading from 8.04 will be lost. [21:12] mhouck, probably NO HELP at all but have you tried pasuspender?

I've been using the two different live cd's today and noticed that. [21:13] fatherbadtouch: pasuspender? [21:13] trism: that's what i've been doing [21:13] mister_roboto: huh. I could've sworn I already tried that, but it worked this time. *shrugs* thanks for your help. :) [21:13] !list [21:13] after uninstalling apache2, the folder /etc/apache2 was removed.

I could always install Konversation although that's a kde program will it cause trouble if I have a gnome system? [21:13] thank god I have an SSD -- I could install Ubuntu 20 times an hour [21:13] Flannel: Yes, I removed /etc/apache2. [21:13] well, anybody using Ubuntu 9.10 and happy with it, cause I am extreamly dissapointed for it's problems!

[21:14] though I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu for a server OS.

[21:14] Guest39526: installs fine, folder doesn't exist. [21:14] brb [21:14] Blehk: You need to purge apache2, and all the other apache packages (libapache*, apache2*) [21:14] n00p you say debain is better? [21:14] guntbert, didn't work for me. [21:14] Homely_Girl: far from that - but glad it worked for you [21:14] father, press Ctrl F7 then take your mouse over to the right 'n drag it left!!! [21:14] invisime: glad it was something easy ;) [21:14] debian is better, but FreeBSD better yet for servers ;) [21:14] mhouck, like I said, probably no help at all. [21:15] Blehk: "apache2" isn't the only package with stuff in /etc/apache2 so you'll need to purge (not just remove) all the packages that do. [21:15] Ricoshady: Don't feed the trolls. [21:15] Blehk, do this in a terminal : sudo apt-get purge apache2 [21:15] guntbert, *mwah* u not available for marriage are you? :P [21:15] Blehk: Purging removes config files as well, which is what you're doing [21:15] FatherBadTouch: you said xchat-gnome? use xchat instead [21:15] Blehk, it'll log that the config was removed, when you reinstall it, it'll reinstall the config files [21:15] fatherbadtouch: got it... anyone else know if you can default pulseaudio to pass all sound through the optical port for the receiver to decode? [21:15] a normal uninstall does not remove config files so people like me who accidentally remove stuff aren't screwed :d [21:15] n00p: you have a ubuntu-support question? [21:15] never mind wot I said b4 FatherBadTouch ...I got wot I need now. ;) [21:15] mister_roboto: no sorry my desktop comes up and then the becomes unresponsive, I can't click on anything, so its not frozen as much I can't start anything from the gui.

[21:18] jjgalvez: sorry, that's a bizarre problem. i've seen similar kinds of hangs when the network was not working but i don't know why killing the process would make everything come back normally. and no problem of any kind in your logs is odd [21:18] Flannel, I want the server version, not desktop [21:18] i need a little bit of help [21:18] was working fine in the 32-bit install... what a shame [21:18] sorry [21:18] I´m having a problem with sound on my laptop after upgrading to 9.10, it´s gone!!

[21:35] iceroot - must have missed my question, did you install ubuntu with the card in the system? did you have any funny configs to make it work? did you have to use the alt .iso [21:35] thevor: from my understanding the empathy version in the repo's does not support video. [21:35] Oh I see. [21:35] iceroot any idea m8? [21:35] laeg, specifically notify-send [21:35] inferno_daulXEON: just insert the card and it was running fine [21:35] GENT: gparted [21:35] Is the one in repos the newest version, or is there something better available elsewhere? [21:36] SeLEct-: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin [21:36] SeLEct-: try that [21:36] thevor can you use usernames? its easier for people to read when thier screen is spammed with text. BTW wtf are you using empathy for [21:36] iceroot E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-bin [21:36] bastid_raZor, will this remove all the essential drivers necessary for window? [21:36] Ranakah: Are you on Lucid? [21:37] GENT: you question was extremely vague.. as was my answer [21:37] inferno_daulXEON: I am just trying out empathy because I wanted to check out the video chat, I usually use piding. [21:37] dangermind: got that file for me? i have to go AFK RSN. [21:37] inferno_daulXEON: pidgin [21:37] mka, thanks ;) [21:37] how do I kill x now that alt-del has been disabled? [21:37] jukin, no prob [21:37] SeLEct-: multiverse repo enabled? [21:37] jjgalvez: ctrl syrq k [21:37] Ranakah: No supported versions of Ubuntu have 2.6.33 as a kernel version (the development version of Ubuntu only has 2.6.32 currently), so you've got some odd package source trying to give you 2.6.33 [21:37] iceroot: you know what's helpful? the broadcom bcm43xx drivers ;) you should try them some time! even if you don't have a broadcom bcm43xx wireless card [21:37] iceroot and that is? :) [21:38] jjgalvez: alt+sysrq+k [21:38] thevor - thanks, but yea empathy has given me nothing but problems... search around for other progs.

[21:57] guntbert, it's pretty straight forward (xclip does it) [21:57] ops, I meant karmic :) [21:57] does anyone know how long moderator approval usually take for the ubuntu-users mailing list? [21:57] moobie, hm, then deselect the ppas in software sources, remove the packages, install them again === Kashind is now known as jolaren [21:57] can anyone please tell me how to hide part/join events in Xchat ? [21:58] froglet: yes every time [21:58] (using apt-get/synaptic/etc) [21:58] tertitten: right click on the tab, go to Settings [21:58] tertitten: ricght click on the channel tab - settings [21:58] ibuclaw [21:58] ardchoille, thank you [21:58] Kamils2: perhaps you need to change a setting in your router so it stays up [21:58] yw [21:58] keepalive or something [21:59] froglet: i have three other laptops work's on windows xp and windows sevent, on this laptops wifi works all time it's problem only with my laptop [21:59] oic [21:59] hi, I am trying to compress my home directory to a tar.bz2 file.. but then an error says there is no such file or directory. I am using the file roller nautilus action/plugin [21:59] Hi all [21:59] AntonyS, But the packages will then remove ubuntu-desktop etc [22:02] can someone tell me how to do this in ubuntu... http://forum.amaderprojukti.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=4940 [22:02] its in bengali, but I think the 2 images is enough to explain the problem [22:03] ^-^ [22:03] frostburn: ty [22:03] from a terminal how can I kill x?

Is this thing on? [22:06] ray9na No [22:06] * lookyaso no [22:07] :P [22:07] quit [22:07] #quit [22:07] lol [22:07] I'm running UNR 9.04 and I'd like to know how to install fonts.

[22:08] ray9na Its a good thing there's no mics on here... my music is more important that all of your voices [22:08] what has taken the place of /boot/grub/menu.lst in karmic? [22:08] :) [22:08] froglet read up on grub2 [22:08] inferno_daulXEON: ty [22:08] froglet there are many new config files [22:09] !resolution [22:09] yes I saw that :) [22:09] 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 [22:09] ubottu needs to sound more human me thinks.... too robotic is he [22:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:10] I just installed a new hard drive. How can I see if the system is acknowledging it? I imagine it would be sdb but cfdisk /dev/sdb fails [22:10] is there a firewall installed by default, and in case there is how do I configure it trough GUI ? [22:10] froglet: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the new menu list, but you don't edit that file. The files to edit are in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d [22:10] hi [22:10] silly ubottu wait for google to go live with skynet... you will be intelligent then [22:10] froglet: and then you update grub.cfg with sudo update-grub; [22:11] I see what is wrong with my system. in the most recent kernel for karmic, the driver for my VIA sound is apparently missing [22:11] the prior kernel has it [22:11] and does not use the dummy driver [22:11] So I installed a commandline system, it works great, but what is a computer these days without X and a WM so I installed wmii since it's my favorite and then I installed firefox really the only program I needed X for. My problem / question is. Firefox is running slow as can be and locks up all the time. What does firefox need besides the recommended packages to run flawlessly [22:11] trism I have had issues with the command line updating... I prefer to still edit the config files [22:11] <|Dreams|> tertitten, no but you can install gufw to enable and configure it [22:11] |Dreams|, thank you [22:11] inferno_daulXEON: that is fine, but every grub/kernel update, your manual edits will be destroyed [22:12] trism cp to grub.conf.backup [22:12] SirCharles: try uninstalling firefox-gnome-support [22:12] SirCharles if i were you, i'd use google chrome. I always find it much more quicker than firefox [22:12] inferno_daulXEON: yep, I suppose that would work too, it really isn't that difficult once you get used to it though (unless you want your menu items in a certain order) [22:13] karmic has been bad news for this pond [22:13] SirCharles: if you're comfortable with a command line system, have you thought about using a cli browser like elinks, links2 or lynx? [22:13] trism don't get me wrong... it works great. unless your multibooting [22:13] Is there anyway to remote into a box and run dosemu? I installed it on a box without X and it wouldn't run, so I'm assuming it won't run over, say, ssh... [22:14] ardchoille I use those for most things but some sites just arn't the same without images [22:14] froglet are you more of a linux tadpole? is this pond too big for you?? [22:14] inferno_daulXEON: well, other os's are detected automatically with the os prober, and any that aren't can be put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom; so it would be the same as editing grub.cfg, since whatever you put in there is just copied over [22:14] SirCharles: True. There's also Google Chrome, I use it daily and it's much faster [22:15] well it is only the karmic pond that is causing me grief, I think I need to stick with Jaunty and hope the next release addresses the problems [22:15] trism maybe it just hates me. [22:15] froglet yea sorry man grub2 is here to stay [22:15] my problem with chrome is I can't apt-get install it and I have no idea what packages it needs [22:15] inferno_daulXEON: no grub is not the problem [22:16] SirCharles why not just use Synaptic [22:16] I just need to learn the new GRUB [22:16] the problems right now are with sound [22:16] trying to save as much hard drive as possible on my netbook, my system is only 350mb's before I put X.org on it [22:16] and on my other machine there were video driver problems with karmic [22:16] SirCharles: did you install the google repository? if you did you should be able to install chrome with apt [22:17] froglet...really? That was one of the things that worked for me.... though I had to add the channels to the sond panel and turn them up [22:17] didn't know there was a chrome repo, just tested it out the other day for the first time [22:17] inferno_daulXEON: yes I did that with the remix but it is not working here [22:18] inferno_daulXEON: SirCharles has already said that he has a system with no gnome, so synaptic won't be installed. Besides, aptitude does just as good a job of managing packages as synaptic (in my opinion a better job) [22:18] i noticed while playing with chrome that it does some weird stuff [22:18] SirCharles: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-chromium-google-chrome-web-browser-in-ubuntu.html [22:18] funkyHat I missed half the conversation due to a bong and a burger [22:18] like downloading mp3's that are supposed to be played, like facebook chat sounds [22:19] inferno_daulXEON: hehe [22:19] funkyHat can we have a silly hat party? [22:19] inferno_daulXEON: yes, in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:19] jjgalvez: that tutorial is for chromium, not google chrome [22:20] oh chromium, does that work better than google chrome [22:20] funkyHat no IRL [22:20] SirCharles: not here it didn't, but chromium ppa is updated daily [22:20] Is there anyway to remote into a box and run dosemu? I installed it on a box without X and it wouldn't run, so I'm assuming it won't run over, say, ssh... [22:20] I could try running openSUSE side by side with Jaunty but I have tried it twice with karmic and something got messed up in the dual booting [22:21] RedLance: try ssh -X servername 'dosemu' [22:21] reo === ray9na is now known as ray9na-AFK [22:21] RedLance: or just ssh -X servername, then run dosemu from the remote shell [22:21] and openSUSE is a MUCH slower install than Ubuntu [22:22] funkyHat, Ok, thanks, I'll try it. [22:22] In my idiocy, I have removed the Applications, System and Places menu(s?) from the Gnome toolbar... How on earth do I get them back? [22:22] anyone knows whats wrong with my Xorg? /usr/bin/X is taking 100% cpu and not responding on fresh ubuntu kermic [22:22] funkyHat: you can't forward X when X isn't installed [22:22] RedLance why is your name so suggestive [22:23] python Q: Pymedia works great and all (It actually plays my sound [22:23] j0char: I had that problem with karmic on my desktop that uses nvidia [22:23] but the sound is all broken... [22:23] went back to Jaunty [22:23] ardchoille: if dosemu needs X client libs they will be installed [22:23] snake you had good luck with that? [22:23] opps sorry try this: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?platform=linux_ubuntu_i386 [22:23] inferno_daulXEON, Uhmmm...it's a character name from a graphic novel... [22:23] funkyHat: he said 'a box without x' [22:23] ardchoille: yes? [22:24] inferno_daulXEON: huh? [22:24] hattoricaca1: back still no change [22:24] Xiol: right click on the panel, click "Add to panel" and select "menu bar" then click add [22:24] that would be a "bo" [22:24] a box without x [22:24] snake pymedia [22:24] Is there a way to remove the icon next to "Applications" in the menubar? [22:24] funkyHat: just found it as you said it! thanks [22:24] how can I find a direct link to an iso? [22:24] ftp link [22:25] is it possible to go from m2ts to /join #mysql [22:25] Ricoshady right click the link and hit properties? [22:25] oops [22:25] ciao [22:25] sorry [22:25] does anyone know a good twitter extension for firefox. One that supports retwitting. I can't stand echofon anymore. Chromed bird for google chrome is much better, but I want one for firefox [22:25] inferno_daulXEON: You did not say an answer. [22:25] inferno_daulXEON: Twas a comment [22:25] ardchoille: you can perhaps change the icon to one that is only 1px wide [22:25] how do I update /dev ? [22:25] snake i dont have answers.... only problems [22:25] ardchoille: I'm guessing here to be honest though [22:25] i'm trying to test hotplug sata drives but the new drives don't show up [22:25] inferno_daulXEON: can i helpo? [22:26] ciao [22:26] !it | kiku [22:26] funkyHat: the menubar applet doesn't support that, afaik [22:26] kiku: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:26] hello, I have three systems, two desktops(home, work) and a notebook.

I looked at the mfg web site, at the ubuntu wireless area, at the makefile and readmes; nothing helps so far. [22:41] start it as a user [22:41] later everyone [22:41] funkyHat, My thoughts exactly [22:41] I can't load Ubuntu 9.10 anymore, and it comes up with this error: [ 1.551839] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) any ideas? [22:42] I use vncserver to start vnc [22:42] froglet it was working perfectly until my server got offline and then online ... but only apache got back online ( the website ) vnc and shoucast got all offline , any idea ? [22:42] g3org3s: no idea [22:42] so my ps aux shows a vnc running how come i cant connect ? [22:42] the more watts a speaker uses means the louder it is? [22:43] not so surprisingly either, the tech support lines at the device and vendor were not so well informed [22:43] there is a way to start a vnc from inetd, I think it is in the Ubuntu Community documentation [22:43] VirusTB basically, and the more energy it consumes [22:43] if you do it that way then you still have access if the machine reboots [22:44] hum maybe i try reboot and see what happens :) [22:44] g3org3s: you have to restart it if you reboot the machine running the vncserver process [22:44] i have an ubuntu install that only boots if i drop to shell on recovery mode.. :-/ === ray9na-AFK is now known as ray9na [22:45] Okay, thanks, guys.

Installed with Wubi and running in recovery mode doesn't work [22:47] funkyHat, Maybe there is another way that I am unaware of. What I want to do, is give telnet like access to an old BBS door game that runs under dos. Any ideas? [22:47] Hey guys, i just did something very very wrong. I had an ssh session running on my server in which i did a distro upgrade and while it was running my ssh session timed out. Now what happened to it? [22:47] froglet: i have to drop to root shell and start gdm manually too [22:47] Part [22:47] Now im stuck in a new ssh session but i cant get back to the still running distro upgrade, how would i switch back to it or something? [22:48] fujimitsu: are you using an nvidia card? [22:48] yes [22:48] RedLance: I'm not sure, is it possible to run dosbox cli-only? [22:48] Milp: other ssh-session running in screen? [22:48] How do i print the memory usage of all processes with a certain name? [22:48] llutz: what do you mean? [22:48] funkyHat, Not sure... [22:48] Milp: did you use screen in that lost ssh-session? [22:48] fujimitsu: did you check the hardware configurator to see if the driver is installed? [22:49] froglet: was thinking maybe i need to pass a kernel option to help myself but i dont want to experiment on this machine [22:49] im on the http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server and I cant find the direct link [22:49] RedLance: that would be the way to go about it, I don't have dosbox though so I can't check whether it's possible [22:49] llutz: I'm not quite sure what you mean by screen. I just normally logged into my server as putty and did the console work [22:49] hola [22:49] que tal [22:49] !info screen | Milp [22:49] fujimitsu: do you have more than one kernel image installed? [22:50] froglet nothing here , its exactly the same, it restarte, the vncserver is running on startup [22:50] funkyHat, I'm reading the MAN page now [22:50] same problem [22:50] Milp: screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation.

[22:50] Milp: man fg [22:50] g3org3s: did you set up vnc to run from inetd? [22:50] llutz epinky i am very confused now. it says there is no manual entry for fg [22:50] froglet: i do have two kernels listed in grub2 .. but that shouldnt matter now , should it [22:50] what is "akonadi server"? [22:51] froglet can u explain it a bit more ? coz i had help installing it , step by step and i dotn recall anything related to inet [22:51] fujimitsu: did you try booting from the older kernel? [22:51] Grub error 15. Anyone know anything about? [22:51] Milp: epinky it's "help fg" [22:51] booksbuggy: thats a kubuntu gizmo [22:51] Please help me to tell whether the wifi generic RALINK RT3070USB chip driver tarball for linux can be built for x86 64 bit native? I looked at the mfg web site, at the ubuntu wifi area, at the makefile and readmes, in a variety of keyword web searches; nothing helps, as far as I can make out. [22:51] well hello everyone [22:51] llutz oh ok, well i dont really understand what that tells me though [22:51] g3org3s: I don't know why vnc is running after you reboot but if you set it up to run from a script or from inetd, that would explain it [22:51] oh [22:52] llutz what is job_spec? [22:52] !akonadi [22:52] because after i upgraded to 9.10 it keep on telling me that i should remove it [22:52] Milp: try "jobs" [22:52] fujimitsu: try booting the older kernel [22:52] llutz hmm it does nothing [22:52] very well.. i guess i'll try booting with the other one [22:53] Milp: so theres no job in background you could bring back with "fg" [22:53] and i am still having the "no sound" bug in 9.10 [22:53] if that works, then you can try reinstalling the newer one [22:53] llutz so i lost it all? :( === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [22:53] froglet the guy who helped me set it up, added it to the startup so it would start automatically with my system so i can connect to it no matter what [22:53] I forget, how do you set swapiness again? Its using 1.2gig of 4gig and using alittle swap space... [22:53] but i think i have already.. or else i wouldnt be so puzzled for that last couple of days [22:53] apparently it doesnt work taht way : / [22:53] g3org3s: okay that explains it, someone else set it up for you [22:53] !swap | duffydack on this page [22:53] duffydack on this page: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [22:53] you should ask them how they did it [22:53] duffydack: about half way down the page [22:54] is there a player which can play a video-file which i am downloading to my hdd? so i start watching the video while the download is not complete. the player should read the content which is downloaded after i start playing the incomplete file. vlc cant do this [22:54] Milp: i don't really know, sorry. just for the future: learn to use screen, makes cli-live much easier [22:54] cheers [22:54] anyone have any idea of how to fix the "No Sound" bug? [22:54] maybe they set it up to use SSH? [22:54] booksbuggy: you run kubuntu? [22:54] i use ubuntu gnome, with nvdia CK804 audio controller [22:54] llutz What is cli-live? Oh and how do i disable this SSH timeout so it doesnt happen anymore when i idle around in ssh? [22:54] froglet if so how can i fix it ? [22:55] hi, locate and find are not returning any result, any specific reason? [22:55] i can switch to KDE since i haven't remove it yet [22:55] g3org3s: he left [22:55] Milp: "cli-live" = working on commandline (cli), timeout settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [22:56] booksbuggy: not necessary , was going to refer you to #kubuntu if you were .. thats all [22:56] guys, how do i use rsync to only copy files that have been modified? [22:56] bastid_raZor, so swappiness=0 is what i need [22:56] llutz thanks for the help [22:56] iceroot, try vlc [22:56] fujimitsu, okey dokey [22:56] froglet here is how we did it, i haad the conversation saved : http://pastebin.com/d1f37ad93 [22:56] duffydack: i wouldn't go that low.. 10 would still use swap when in need. [22:56] fujimitsu, do you have any idea of how to fix the no sound bug? [22:56] iceroot, nvm [22:57] hi, can someone tell me how i can see a portion of a text file rather than all of it using cat, do i need to pipe it inot something?

The keyboard works fairly well, however I've noticed that the bitwise OR (bash pipe) key displays >. Anybody know how I can set gnome to work better with this keyboard? [22:57] bastid_raZor, wouldnt 0 still use swap, just absolutely when needed? [22:57] gabbler: less file [22:57] bastid_raZor, thats what Id prefer, since I got 4gig [22:57] http://tinyurl.com/yfqw7h2 is the laptop [22:57] llutz hmm i cant find an entry for any timeout or idle related values in that config, what should it be called? [22:57] froglet but the weird thing is how can it be running and not accept my connection ? [22:57] thanks iceroot [22:57] gabbler: or use cat file | more [22:57] booksbuggy: assuming you have double checked on the available sound settings... no [22:57] bastid_raZor, think i`ll go with 10 tho :) [22:57] gabbler, tail or head .. [22:57] hi, my shares are going away or to sleep or something on my ntfs drives (on karmic) how do i fix this? [22:58] Milp: ClientAliveInterval [22:58] hello? [22:58] fujimitsu, well i tried restarting the alsa thing but it said that no module is loaded to begin with [22:58] booksbuggy: and thats from a fresh start too?

[23:04] epinky hmm there is some dpkg stuff that could be it [23:04] fujimitsu, eh i guess until the bug is fixed i am going back to a system with no sound at all XD [23:05] Milp: can you post results of "ps -ef" ? [23:05] hmmm how do i roll back an upgrade? [23:05] epinky yes one second [23:06] or it's not recommended? [23:06] Milp: use pastebin [23:06] i got silly question, how to change hhd disk name. I got this new hhd (1 tb :PP) and it not got any volume just says 1000 gb filesystem [23:07] epinky yep doing that [23:07] pastebin.com/m6c292cc6 [23:07] www.pastebin.com/m6c292cc6 there you go epinky [23:07] num9: tune2fs [23:07] how can i run application in background thru putty ?

[23:09] g3org3s: screen is a terminal multiplexer.. after connecting with putty install screen then run "screen" .. you'll be able to disconnect and whatever process you have running will continue [23:09] Please help me to tell whether the wifi generic RALINK RT3070USB chip driver tarball for linux can be built for x86 64 bit native? I looked at the device mfg / OEM web sites, at the ubuntu wifi area, at the makefile and readmes, in a variety of keyword web searches; nothing helps, as far as I can make out. [23:09] adminewb, disk utility doesnt allows [23:10] Milp: your link must be wrong, it's a blank post [23:10] Scunizi, can u tell me a command?? [23:10] Lovecraft, ? [23:10] adminewb, should if its open source [23:10] man screen [23:10] i have a problem about firefox and multimedia programs(amarok,totem,VLC).When i watch video on youtube or facebook,multimedia programs don't work.How can i fix this problem? [23:10] I have to restart X after every reboot otherwise X is unresponsive [23:10] lovecraft care to share some info on screen, I don't understand it, i use dvtm but would like to use both [23:11] okay so i type screen thru putty its like it clears my window then what ? [23:11] RobotCow it's an open source driver evidently, and cruising through the makefile it was not plain what one should do to build for 64 bit native [23:11] epinky one sec [23:11] epinky: paste shows up here [23:11] num9: sudo apt-get install gparted.. then you'll find it under System>Admin>Partition Manager [23:11] g3org3s: and you get a terminal prompt again right? [23:11] epinky: http://pastebin.com/m6c292cc6 [23:12] RobotCow but if I understand you, then having source to the driver in principle would make it possible to build it that way. [23:12] SirCharles: screen just makes additional console screens to use. One can also detatch a screen to the backgroud and logout and later log back in and rerattach the screen running in the bg. [23:12] Milp: ah you added www. to pastebin, that won't do [23:12] llutz thanks that worked :) [23:12] Scunizi its like the same terminal yes [23:12] adminewb, compiling on a 64 bit system should make it a 64-bit driver. thats been my experience. [23:12] llutz oh lol damn [23:12] RobotCow seems reasonable [23:14] hi, everyone .. i've problem with ubuntu 9.10 [23:14] i have a problem about firefox and multimedia programs(amarok,totem,VLC).When i watched video on youtube or facebook,multimedia programs don't work.How can i fix this problem? [23:14] ciao [23:14] Milp: ok, try : fg %13623 [23:14] g3org3s: ok.. then it's working correctly.. if you scroll up the that link ubottu gave you there will be a list of simple commands.. but essentially at this point you could start a process running then disconnect putty from the remote server and the process will still be running.. to see then reconnect with putty and type "screen -ls" .. this will list the screen process in the form of a name like something.something.. to reconnect to the running screen [23:14] type "screen -r [23:14] RobotCow it just makes me nervous to be basing a purchasing decision without even having identified a target among those listed in the make, which would correspond to x86_64 [23:14] the problem is when i login to gnome sesion .. the mouse freeze and everything and i 'cant go to console or terminal .. [23:15] for the Love of God, i need help with uBuntu Server with Ldap Authentication [23:15] note that i'm now login the failsafe gnome ..
