I just want to get a list of everything I have installed [00:08] mdk: disable the cdrom in your software sources [00:09] Laeborg: use public key auth. the web is full of how tos about passwordless ssh [00:09] is right place for install trouble?

[00:19] puckman, you should just leave the default settings when installing a new version of Ubuntu. easy :) [00:19] thanks erUSUL. [00:19] vduck: no problem [00:20] mMezquitale: And what is your experiance with it? Totally awesome?? [00:20] puckman, just make sure its a fresh install and not upgrade [00:20] B3rz3rk3r: thanks but there is an issue with Ubuntu 9.10, ext4 and PS3 [00:20] can somebody please tell me what to type in terminal to figure out what type of video card this PC has? === daniel is now known as Srpski [00:20] TroN-0074: lspci | grep -i vga [00:20] edbian, its ok because i can configure more than one e-mail account, just dont just pop3, you have to use imap [00:20] thanks [00:20] B3rz3rk3r: found it, its installing on ext3 now, hope that works, this is my 5th reinstall today and it take AGES on PS3 [00:20] edbian, i also use gmail on my phone so my phone can automatically check if I have e-mail every 5~10 minutes [00:21] I'm just nervous to dump even more of my self into google.

[00:22] puckman: #ubuntu-ps3 if i remember correctly [00:22] B3rz3rk3r: is it even possible? [00:22] hey guys, shouldn't this output be empty: diff -wBNru -x"/root/a1/*" /root/a1/a2 /root/a1/b1 ?? [00:22] bastid_raZor: ah nice one, did not know, thanks!!! [00:22] MrAlexandro, yes, perfectly possible [00:22] erUSUL, can I get a perl script to auto type the ssh password? [00:22] bastid_raZor: no on there [00:22] ubuntu on ps3 is no better than its default system really [00:22] Laeborg: perl can do anything :-) [00:23] Laeborg: do not think so. you could use a expect script. [00:23] What could cause some apps, like wget and Chrome, to have very slow DNS lookups? [00:23] Laeborg, if you dont want to use a password use keys, it's more secure but you can only log in remotely from whatever machine have their ssh keys configured [00:23] fujimitsu: eh? Game OS lets you play games, Ubuntu on my PS3 will give me a backup system in case my laptop dies on me. [00:23] Laeborg: but as i said earlier (and mMezquitale is saying too) use key pairs [00:24] suit yourself. i rather use ps3 for its intended purpose [00:24] Okay, that is called "passwordless ssh" also, right? [00:24] for a new ubuntu user is it better for me to install the current long term support version or the latest non long term support version? [00:24] can sobody share on how to configure xorg.conf for an ATI video car? my desktop effects are super slow [00:25] fujimitsu: can you play the games on it under ubuntu. or will it dual boot or something? [00:25] Laeborg: that's a good google search --> "passwordless ssh" [00:25] fujimitsu: thanks for the helpful suggestions. [00:25] MrAlexandro: it would be like a dual boot system [00:25] hello all just a quick question i want to make sure im doing this right .. to convert an avi or mpg to dvd format i do d ffmpeg -i -aspect -target ntsc-dvd ... then i do a dvdauthor -o -t .. after that i can burn with k9copy or a normal burner to dvd correct ? [00:25] I have a zip drive on an old computer. It appears under places in Ubuntu 9.10 Computer. Is there any way to determine the capacity of the drives that this computer uses? [00:25] does anyone know why several gnome panel applets would encounter errors on login, but after re-adding them they run fine until I next login? [00:25] Hmm. It seems to be an ipv6/AAAA DNS issue [00:26] aletheia84: I'd go with the newer one unless you're using it in some sort of production environment [00:26] can sobody share on how to configure xorg.conf for an ATI video car? my desktop effects are super slow I will appreciate it [00:26] erUSUL, should I generate the key on server 1 (the one i need to connect to the other) or on server 2? [00:26] argh... meant to say.. I have a zip drive on an old computer. It appears under places in Ubuntu 9.10 Computer. Is there any way to determine the capacity of the disks that this zip drive uses? [00:26] Laeborg, I have a guide that will help you set up your passwordless ssh login, if youre interested [00:27] thanks spacebison2. another question though. as the versions progress do you need better hardware to keep up with the new versions, because I have a 10 year old toshiba laptop [00:27] anyone know of a better pinball game for ubuntu then emilia pinball? the game is seriously lacking. [00:27] Laeborg: you should generate the key in server1 if i understood your use case [00:27] Thank you, mMezquitale === macman is now known as macman_ [00:28] TroN-0074: What driver are you using? [00:29] aletheia84: yeah too a point, you might have issues getting a new distro to run on something that old though, if at all. I can only tell to to try it and see. [00:29] anybody know how i can tell what is taking up the majority of the memory? [00:29] aletheia84: you might try xubuntu [00:29] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [00:29] cabrey: ram ? [00:30] thanks for the help spacebison [00:30] erUSUL, yep [00:30] cabrey: probably disk cache. run "free" on a terminal [00:30] erUSUL, it isn't as indicated by htop, but i'll try that anyway [00:30] cabrey: run system moniter from the sysem -> administration menu and sort the list by ram usage [00:32] cabrey: if you are using htop. hit M (capital) to order process by memory usage [00:32] Thank you so much, erUSUL and mMezquitale! :D [00:32] erUSUL, yea Firefox was the largest, but even without it Ubuntu's ram usage is absurd [00:33] hello :) [00:33] cabrey: free memory is wasted memory. what is free memory good for? [00:33] !ram [00:33] A short primer on linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [00:33] erUSUL, I want to use virtualbox smoothly [00:33] cabrey: what was the free result ? what amount appears as cached ? [00:33] may i ask somebody for help with not working microphone in ubuntu, please? [00:33] erUSUL, my entire system has come to a screeching halt because the swap had to be used [00:34] cabrey: on the contrary, my ubuntu uses ram more efficiently than systems with m$ and twice the RAM [00:34] erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/d550e17d7 [00:34] johnyjj2, did you open alsamixer in the terminal and see if anything is muted first? [00:35] biggerfisch, trust me, i know. this is something weird about Ubuntu this time. I've been fine with it on other systems [00:35] i enter sound recorder, press red button, it doesn't do anything (it is still zero seconds), i press red button again and it asks me "save the recording?" [00:35] cabrey: so you have 2 GiB and one is used and the other one is cached seems pretty normal to me [00:35] it doesnt' record [00:35] Uh thought I just could 'scp ......' in my perl script, but no :/ [00:36] how can you view the drivers installed on your computer? [00:36] Is it possible to add the trash can on your desktop [00:36] erUSUL, i'm running xchat and gnome-terminal, doesn't seem normal. 850megs for 2 programs? (plus DE obviously) [00:36] Laeborg: a bash script looks better suited [00:36] my laptop barely ever uses more then 300MiB of ram of 2.4GiB available with ubuntu [00:36] johnyjj2, if you want to talk to someone specifically...type the first 3 letters of their nickname and then press Tab button on the keyboard untill you get the right nick [00:36] panther009: look in the bottom right corner :) [00:36] johnyjj2, this will alert that person [00:37] cabrey: and what did htop showed ? [00:37] :) actually I had created a new one and deleted it :( [00:37] I thought it was on the desktop [00:38] panther009: mine at least, is on my bottom panel [00:38] thats good [00:38] erUSUL, http://imgur.com/g037j.jpg [00:38] coz_: thanks for the info, i don't know anybody here and my microphone doesn;'t work. I thought I can enter this channel and maybe somebody will know how to fix my problem :) [00:38] Wonder why its not on the desktop [00:38] johnyjj2, ok first open a terminal and type alsamixer [00:39] johnyjj2, see if anything is muted [00:39] johnyjj2, or see if any of the volume sliders are set off [00:39] i did it previously, some of those were max, some not - i made all of them max, but it didn't help [00:40] can sobody share on how to configure xorg.conf for an ATI video card? my desktop effects are super slow with an ATI. I will appreciate it [00:40] johnyjj2, ok dont forget about nicks..... the channel you should probably be asking in is the #alsa channel so where you type here just type /join #alsa [00:40] coz_: i also made everything max in those settings which can be run by clicking right button on sound icon near system clock [00:40] anyone got a answer for this: sudo chrt -v --fifo 99 audacious2 [00:40] pid 2223's new scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO [00:40] pid 2223's new scheduling priority: 99 [00:40] Aborted [00:40] baz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:41] erUSUL, yes it is, look again [00:42] cabrey: sorry i was looking in the VIRT columm :( [00:42] panther009: there is a way to show it on the desktop.. let me find the right path in gconf-editor [00:44] can anyone point me to a place in the boot process on karmic where i can insert a command BEFORE the networking interfaces AND networkmanager have been upped? i'm trying to do a ifconfig hw ether [mac] command on wlan0 without having to down the device and killing networkmanager first [00:44] tried putting it in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d as suggested earlier, but that doesn't work [00:44] thanks bastid [00:45] cabrey: sorry i do not see anything staning out as a waster [00:45] erUSUL, that's what is confusing me [00:46] panther009: in terminal type: gconf-editor then navigate to apps>nautilus>desktop you'll see a check box for trash_icon_visible [00:47] hy, my little brother has formatted his linux partitions, the grub has gone, he needs to boot up his windows, can you sugest a solution?

[00:50] TroN-0074: what sort of effects are you trying to run? that card may not be powerful enough to handle them well. [00:50] k how does it depend [00:51] eric_3:i have a broadcom 4306 that for some odd reason, iwconfig doesnt like it [00:51] erUSUL: ok, i understand, he wondered why i like linux, and he tried it, but very fast he needs windows back :)) [00:51] SMC networks. === Quan-Time__ is now known as Quan-Time [00:51] I have seem another PC running with a better speed [00:51] has anyone tried the 185 or 190 nvidia restricted drivers yet on karmic? it never installs fully for me in hardware drivers and i just end up going back to 185 drivers. [00:51] oops i meant 190 or 195 drivers [00:52] njsharkracer, no but it did crash my computer back home [00:52] I own a thinkpad T41 and I have seem a T30 doing lot better [00:52] njsharkracer: not tried em.. BUT why install new ones if the old ones didnt break ? i still get great FPS in tf2 / steam games.. [00:52] how can i switch wlan's [00:52] baz_: Eh? my 4306 is a bit slow, but it works great.

Can you help me? [00:54] eric_3: well, i have a broadcom 4306, when i try and use it via the command line for some reason, after my card has associated with the wireless access point, it disassociates, yet with network manager (which sits on a toolbar), i have no problems [00:54] i am currently connected to a WLAN but i want to switch to another WLAN [00:55] eric_3: iwconfig I believe addresses your problem, though I don't know the arguments off hand. [00:55] eric_3:first wireless card i have seen to do this, however i have seen the same error in other posts on the net, all unanswered (some crap about reason code=3) [00:55] see i want to know how to do it from command line [00:55] eric_3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicd_%28Linux_Network_Manager%29 [00:55] What I want to do, is give telnet like access to an old BBS door game that runs under dos. Any ideas? [00:55] i tried iwconfig [00:55] njsharkracer: That's a pretty low end card though, I have it and it's a bit slow on some compiz effects [00:55] it just lists [00:55] eric_3: open a shell and do "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" [00:56] eric_3: providing your wireless card is on wlan0, you will get a list of access points [00:56] i am not admin [00:56] spacebison: which laptop do you have with the same video card as me? [00:56] eric_3:hence, why you need sudo [00:57] i am on a link previously listed please do not post to me [00:57] Does anyone know the short-cuts to switch desktops in KDE? [00:57] eric_3: you can't change access points without being able to run sudo or as root. [00:57] eric_3, what exactly is yoru problem? [00:57] fractalis: you need to ask in #kubuntu [00:57] njsharkracer: it's in a cheap HP pavillion I bought almost two years ago. [00:58] ardchoille: Better yet, I searched Google like I should have done in the first place. Sorry to bother you. [00:58] fractalis_: isn't it arrow left/right with all the desktops? [00:58] minimec: -F{#} accomplishes what I was looking for. Thanks though. [00:58] minimec: That's compiz. [00:58] i am trying to switch ti another WLAN but i do not have a toolbar so i don't have the network applet [00:59] fractalis_: You switch desktops with gnome, xfce, kde, e17 like that ... [00:59] fractalis: It was no bother, I wanted you to get the best answer :) [00:59] spacebison: mine is a dv2615nr, if you have the same laptop as me got any ubuntu pointers for it? I've only been messing with linux for a month now, and I also bought this laptop about 2 years ago. [01:00] njsharkracer: The motherboard is flaky. [01:00] njsharkracer: tf2 = team fortress 2 (half life 2 game on steam) [01:00] i have been able to switch access points in the past because i have the right givin to me by admin [01:01] maybe you guys could just help me get my toolbars back. [01:01] eric_3: YOu deleted BOTH your panels? [01:01] eric_3: xfce4-panel in a terminal. that should start them [01:02] no i logged on and now they are gone [01:02] eric_3: Hmm. [01:02] I will try command [01:02] canthus13: i have never had a problem with the motherboard on my laptop. only problem i had with it in 2 years is upgrading the wireless card from a broadcom to atheros chipset but was fixed with a bios upgrade. [01:02] Hey.. can anyone help me with an Eclipse PDT issue? [01:02] ;/ [01:02] hey guys, does anyone have a guide to write a init script. Im trying to have it open irssi, deluged in a screen session under one user. as well as another script to start up deluge in screen under a different user [01:03] njsharkracer: I think mines a dv6700, I'm not sure though. I've run ubuntu 8.04, 9.04 and 9.10 is on it now. It's kind of a toss up between 9.04 and 9.10 as to which ran the best. But I haven't really done much outside of the basic install and that's always worked fine for me. [01:03] How can I get that graphical sudo window to come up? [01:03] ipatrol: gksudo [01:03] the command works thankyou! bastid razor [01:03] Does anyone know where to find this: "org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.feature.feature.group" [01:03] ipatrol: opps gksu [01:03] hey, do i need any specail programs to unpack multi-part rar files? [01:03] good bye and thankyou! [01:04] spacebison: ah okay, i have a knack for fiddling with stuff and trying to improve it or use the latest stuff, hence wanting to try the 190 or 195 nvidia drivers to see any improvement. [01:04] jellow: gksudo works, thx [01:04] njsharkracer: I didn't for a couple of years.. Then it started shutting down randomly, the wireless completely disappeared, and now it's at the point that it won't power up. Apparently, most of the pavillions made in the last 3 years are suceptible to this. SOmething to do with poorly soldered chipsets. also causes overheating. [01:05] where does su != sudo ? [01:05] protojay: you shouldn't, i haven't messed with multipart rars in linux yet, but in windows you just open the first rar, extract the files and the archive manager should just pull the rest of the data from other other parts automatically. [01:05] njsharkracer: the same goes for Ubuntu [01:06] canthus13: thanks for the heads up. luckily i haven't had a problem yet considering that when I was running winblows on this laptop i was always overclocking the video chipset on here. [01:07] njsharkracer, i see [01:07] asdf [01:08] /server efnet [01:08] hahaha [01:08] anyone here have experience with chrt aborting commands? [01:09] trying to give audcious the cpu time it needs to not stutter or dropout! [01:09] but chrt aborts the command with no explantion whatsoever [01:11] hi people! I want to set a password on boot, but while starting up, it shows two keys only, F9 - Boot based setup (or startup) and F10 ROM based setup (or startup, dont remember). Any other keys dont work (Del, F2). Any suggestions, please? [01:11] btw, HP Compaq 7300 [01:12] ipatrol: Its an "extra" layer of sercurity , by setting a time limit ( mins ) also it does not mess up file permissions look at man su and man sudo for more info [01:12] nebody understanding korean language here?

[01:19] mahngiel: huh? I don't have a root password set [01:19] !root | ipatrol [01:19] ipatrol: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[02:02] jhouse_ I am not familiar with your raid array, but I know that sometimes companies sell "hardware raid" and the drivers are actually a software raid.

I am going to read forum posts instead... [02:15] how do I get VPN to work in Ubuntu? [02:16] vduck, well it was working until I installed poker game and it messed up network settings so I removed and reinstalled wicd and still broke so it is some how remembering settings [02:16] MidoCrash1: why don't you try it and tell us? [02:16] i try it [02:16] k [02:16] Is there any way to convert a folder of files to an ISO?

[02:18] Anyone? Help? How can I enable root login over sftp? [02:18] Karottenkostuem: to the left of the 'buttons' designating the folder hierarchy you've reached is a little pen and paper, click that and you get a field you can type to your hearts conent [02:18] well then how do u make vpn work in Ubuntu? [02:19] michaelhammond: what do you mean "how do make vpn work in Ubuntu"? you need to install openVPN and configure it. it's explained well in openVPN's website. any more queries on this please head to ##openvpn and post them.

I guess not [02:34] alokito, that's what I'm asking [02:34] protojay: try it without -t (andthiscrap) it may work [02:34] vduck, you need alternate cd for CLI based installation [02:34] Can somebody recomend a way to convert .avi files to a standard dvd player format? [02:34] I might be able to debug the video better with an working install [02:34] vds, I don't think its possible with livecd, thats what alternate cd is for [02:34] lstarnes: what the hell.

[02:35] vduck: you want the ubuntu minimal install cd or the ubuntu server cd [02:35] e-i-k-e: you might run into some permissions errors when backintime runs though [02:35] !alternate cd | vduck [02:35] vduck: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [02:36] lstarnes: u mean root priviliges? i am running the root version of BIT [02:36] e-i-k-e: so backintime is running as root?

[02:40] osmosis: or something else like clang/llvm, tcc, pcc, or the intel c compiler [02:40] osmosis: or you can get binaries of gcc for building gcc [02:40] digitalaxis: sure just mount it [02:40] digitalaxis: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt now it should be in /mnt [02:40] osmosis: it's a classic chicken-and-egg problem [02:40] lstarnes, so gcc is written in c. it just evolved over time,and it depends on itself? ok. [02:41] lstarnes, yah...except someone DID make the first version of GCC. I just wonder how. [02:41] I've recently downgraded to Jaunty from Karmic, because I had too many problems with that version.

[02:42] So, the last time I upgraded to 9.10, I ended up with a completely broken system. Is there a "proper" way to upgrade to 9.10? [02:42] just remembered I have a crt monitor in the closet [02:43] Hello, sudo service bind9 start fails since 9.10. How to make this work again? [02:43] alberto, you are still having problem after sudo nvidia-xconfig? :o [02:43] alokito Yes. [02:43] alberto, where did you install the driver from, ubuntu repo? [02:43] alokito Correct. [02:43] alberto, ah, I haven't face such problem ever [02:43] ... [02:43] faced* [02:44] most popular protocol for cellphone telephony on the planet, with billions of users worldwide. But the standard encryption procedure used by most GSM carriers is only 64-bit, and academic researchers had spotted flaws in it starting over a decade ago. Now, in an effort to get carriers to take security seriously [02:44] a researcher is publicizing a brute-force attack on the encryption that he expects will be combined with work on the GSM frequency selection algorithm to create a cheap and easy method for eavesdropping on cellular calls. Despite initial progress on the effort, the cellular industry remains unimpressed.

[02:44] I use nvidia driver from ubuntu repo in 3 different cards... geforce 2 GO, geforce 7300 GT and geforce 9500 GT [02:45] alokito I left the /home directory on an independent partition, then I downgraded to Jaunty from Karmic.

DeVeDe sucks [02:45] alokito Do you think that has something to see? [02:45] alberto, hmm maybe jaunty is using some config file from your home dir? [02:46] can anyone helping me with init looking for rootfs, i have a squashfs on my thumbdrive i'd like to specify [02:46] livecd type stuff [02:46] alokito Undoubtely.

[02:46] hi guys, how do i remove a service from startup? i tried rc-update.d dhcpd3-server remove, but i stil lhave a symlink to this service in /etc/rc2.d -- is this normal? [02:47] alokito I mean, I use to have Jaunty before I made the biggest mistake...Updating to Karmic. [02:47] alokito Which I regret of. [02:47] alberto, ya but now in your jaunty you are using the same home dir that you used in karmic, aren't you? [02:47] alokito Yes, that's right [02:48] hey is there a tool to fix bad sectors in ubuntu? [02:48] Ok i have an iso mounted to my desktop, how do i install it though [02:48] alokito: alberto, karmic config files aren't likely to work in jaunty <--which is why ubuntu is inferior to a rolling release model [02:48] alberto, so the karmic config files remaining, that might be the cause [02:48] arghh2d2: FFMPEG? HandBrake? What's wrong with DeVeDe? [02:48] SickAnimations: doesnt work [02:49] alokito Is there any way to solve that problem? [02:49] i would love devede if it gave me what i want [02:49] arghh2d2, alberto I'm using karmic right now and I have no trouble with it at all! [02:49] I installed Jaunty and then openSUSE but the latter messed up GRUB, apparently, and two GRUBS come up, one after the other. Is there a way to fix this so I can boot either OS? [02:49] Can someone help me install something? I have the .iso mounted, just need to know how to run the iso like if it were on a cd [02:49] adante-> perhaps it is update-rc.d ? [02:49] alberto, yup, delete the config files from your home dir and make a fresh start :) [02:49] How to rebuild ffmpeg and enabled mpeg4 encoder? [02:49] SickAnimations: devede gives me isos that i burn to to a dvd and then dont work in the dvd player [02:49] jangaj: oh yeah thats what i meant i ran, sorry [02:49] lstarnes: it works perfectly with BIT. thanks again [02:50] alokito Where are they? [02:50] alberto, backup what you need before deleting, like firefox and all [02:50] lstarnes: back to root permission: is their a way to mount / umount a specific device without root permissions [02:50] alberto, Enable showing of hidden files in your file manager, you will find them [02:50] alokito You mean, I should make another install? [02:50] arghh2d2: Damn, do they work on a PC? [02:50] I had that problem with a DVD player, but it just one and its my sony. [02:50] lstarnes: and of cause i would need to open a specific device with cryptsetup [02:51] alberto, nope, just delete config files [02:51] works on all my other dvd players though [02:51] alokito How do I enable them? [02:51] alokito: consider yourself lucky...karmic sucks...they threw a bunch of experimental crap in it to see what sticks and what doesnt so they can get ready for the next LTS [02:51] something about codecs [02:51] digitalaxis: go to my computer rightclick autoplay [02:51] try a different dvd player [02:51] I was able to install two versions of Ubuntu side by side but not Ubuntu and openSUSE [02:51] I'll try another dvd player [02:51] digitalaxis: or explore drive and double click executable [02:52] arghh2d2, well it doesn't suck for me, and I can workaround all problems easily [02:52] I think I will have to dump the openSUSE part, does anyone know if I can use the rescue feature of the install CD to fix this? [02:52] arghh2d2: What files end up on the compilation? [02:52] dont suck for me either [02:52] Karmic threw me problems with DVD writer, PulseAudio, TV Tuner card, Flash player...etc. [02:52] what the hell?

[02:53] alokito How can I show hidden files? [02:53] view [02:53] check hidden [02:53] arghh2d2: Yeah, does the file structure look OK? Does a computer recognise it as a DVD and play it?

[02:55] like [02:55] all BackTrack [02:56] alberto, xorg.conf maybe? [02:56] alokito Oh, wait! There's one called .nvidia-settings-rc [02:56] alokito: stop being such a do-gooder putz [02:56] teage: they aren't "backtrack programs" [02:56] well what are they then?

[03:07] Hi room [03:07] i hate gnome [03:07] it cannot be that difficult ¬_¬ [03:07] Is it safe to install the Dos Box emulator [03:07] piero: it will run on the remote computer and appear on your screen [03:07] or can it invite viruses [03:07] !ask | Alan502 [03:07] Alan502: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:07] blakkheim: amd 64 945 3.0ghz [03:08] Maletor: try a different video player [03:08] alokito, i already asked, i'm trying to mount my dvd rom because it did not mount automatically [03:08] blakkheim, no.. it's just in my computador. The remote server does not display the program... [03:08] k [03:08] and i don't know in which /dev/ my dvd rom is [03:08] That was freaky, my gnome-panel stopped working [03:08] blakkheim, and if that doesn't work? [03:08] ↈ [03:08] Hi is there any real performance gain by migrating to ext4? any bugs i should be aware of? [03:08] Maletor: then it could be a corrupt video file [03:09] Alan502, you can use acetoneiso to mount cd/dvd virtually [03:09] blakkheim, I want it to run in the remote computador and appear on remote screen [03:09] blakkheim, nope, it's from a reputable torrent [03:09] Alan502, search google for acetoniso [03:09] Alan502, sorry its acetoneiso [03:09] if init prompts "specify a device to boot" when looking for rootfs, how can i specify a rootfs that is in a squashfs image? [03:09] alokito, it is not an *.iso file, it is a physical dvd on my physical dvd rom [03:10] it's on /dev/sda1/rootfs [03:10] Maletor: then it could be a video card issue maybe? [03:10] Alan502, oh [03:10] Maletor: try different video outputs [03:10] grub installed in the wrong HDD, how can I install grub in the correct HDD? [03:10] !grub > chuy_max [03:10] chuy_max, please see my private message [03:10] Alan502, sudo mount /dev/scdsomething(see the disk path in gparted) /media/mountpath [03:11] blakkheim, i am really starting to hate my nvidia 9800gtx+ i wish i just got ATI, i have resolution problems and everything plus it doesn't even look that good... yes i have the latest proprietary drivers from the website [03:11] Maletor: you'd be surprised, ati support in linux is MUCH worse than nvidia [03:11] Maletor, ATi def would NOT help [03:11] alokito, ok thanks [03:11] why does linux hate ATI? [03:11] LOL B3rz3rk3r i second that [03:11] I want to install DOSBOX on Ubuntu...is it safe or does it invite viruses? [03:12] Maletor: it's the other way around [03:12] ah ok [03:12] Maletor, does it? I heard Linux ATI support is great [03:13] You told me, I see the rise But, it always falls I see them come, I see them go You say, "All things pass into the night" And I say, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me [03:13] You told me, I've seen it all before I been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams Lying on the ground I've seen the sky just begin to fall And you say, "All things pass into the night" And I say, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me [03:13] or anyone can point me to support for livecd/usb/pendrive linuxes?

[03:13] Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you [03:13] fokuslee302, to ans your Q, EXT4 benfits are boot time and large file transfers basically [03:14] fokuslee302, i think devs improved the journaling on it too [03:14] joako: yes && sudo apt-get remove "package" if i remember right [03:14] B3rz3rk3r, ok thanks i probably give a try when lucid comes out then [03:15] yes spams "y" [03:15] B3rz3rk3r, i just heard that metadata is written before the actual file data, and also if there is a crash you might loose the whole file [03:15] Right and if I do sudo apt-get remove whatever it PROMPTS if I am sure. I do not want to be promtped [03:15] B3rz3rk3r, but the upgrade procedure is simple enough [03:15] hi all, guys...I have a question..kde brunch got kdeedu, what about gnome? I mean educational software. [03:16] fokuslee302, the whole idea behind journaling is to prevent exactly what you described there [03:16] lol joako, thats a form of a protection to prevent executables from granting themselves elevated permissions without your consent... [03:16] I understand I need to enter root password.. fine [03:17] Joelito, there was edubundu but the edubundu softs is now available as a package in repo [03:17] B3rz3rk3r, k thanks === qwerty is now known as Guest97287 [03:17] !edubuntu | Joelito [03:17] Joelito: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [03:17] joako [03:17] alokito, wouldn't be trying to download the edubuntu distro? [03:18] Joelito, oh sorry I gave wrong info.. edubuntu is still there :-/ [03:18] MilitantPotato [03:18] the main reason not to do that, is in case an update breaks something, you'll of been prompted what was installed, so you can remove it. (sorry, hit enter) [03:18] I think it was Gobuntu which was discontinued [03:18] I understand but is there a way to bypass it? [03:18] Joelito, yup you can try the edubuntu distro [03:18] alokito, oh, ok...I was hopping for a virtual package as kdeedu [03:19] Joelito, you can install the edubuntu packages in ubuntu itself, search synaptic for "edubuntu" [03:19] how do i acces synaptic package manager in Xbuntu [03:19] StupidandUgly: sudo synaptic [03:19] ty [03:19] StupidandUgly, Alt+F2>> gksudo synaptic [03:20] joako: as you type it out, add -y, like sudo apt-get -y purge ubuntu-desktop === gdb_ is now known as gdb [03:21] I need the lightest and most stable file manager available what is it? [03:21] I'm not sure about completely removing prompts though, sorry. [03:21] StupidandUgly: try pcmanfm [03:21] alokito, looking [03:21] thanks :D [03:21] MilitantPotato: Works fine... I don't care if there is output as long as it is non-interactive [03:22] Dr_Willis: are u still here? [03:22] why is ubuntu still screwing with mono? [03:22] You maybe able to make a new app link, so when you type apt-get it auto enters apt-get -y [03:22] exit [03:22] Now, anyone knows how this is possible? When I install ldap-auth-config it prompts for ldap server config, Can I somehow pass the options to apt-get install through the command so I don't have to answer those as well? [03:22] but I'm not sure how that's done, only read about it [03:23] Joelito, sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop [03:23] can I completely remove thunar and replace it with pcmanfm? [03:23] StupidandUgly: yes [03:23] MilitantPotato: I really just need this for a shell script to remove and then reinstall some packages [03:23] -y would do it then [03:24] I just installed internet explorer for ubuntu, but I can't find any icons for it on the main menu. Can anyone tell me where to look to find the IE I just installed? [03:24] it says it will uninstall Xbuntu desktop [03:24] seriously why is Ubuntu still using Mono? [03:24] whats the deal with pulse audio === Apollo is now known as Chazz [03:25] e-i-k-e: im about to go to sleep.. whats up? [03:25] StupidandUgly: that's just a metapackage saying you have "all of" the default xubuntu desktop, it doesn't actually remove the desktop [03:25] ok neat thanks [03:25] hellyes: exactly what did you install and how? === Chazz is now known as Apollo [03:25] ugggg apparently none of you realize anything about mono [03:25] Mr__, most likely for compatibility with apps that depend on mono [03:25] Mr__: from what i gather - the gnome devs Like mono.. [03:26] Mr__: if you want in depth details.. perhaps ask on the forums [03:26] Dr_Willis: the bash script is not waiting until an operation finished [03:26] Dr_Willis: ies4linux-2.99.0.1. It installed, extracted the cabs and so forth, but when it completed, I could not find any icons or launchers for it... [03:26] Dr_Willis, mono is from the devil himself it will eventually impose a MS tax on linux [03:26] e-i-k-e: i tend to do rather basic bash scripting. [03:26] Dr_Willis: should mean the backup process starts befor the device is mounten in media/cryxpto [03:27] why did they change the add remove manager in ubuntu 9.10? [03:27] Mr__: pointless discussion for tehis channel. I suggest taking it to the forums or somewhere for in depth conversation. Not really a Ubuntu support issue. [03:27] Mono creeps in microsoft code into linux which can eventually lead to the "tax" [03:27] StupidandUgly: they have been trying to make it more user friendly and dumbed down. [03:27] joako: you could make a custom shell script, name it whatever, and have it launch sudo apt-get -y, your shell wouldn't launch a manual apt-get, but point too the custom one you made, if you plan on doing it frequently. [03:27] Dr_Willis, never pointless general users don't realize what they are doing using this shit [03:28] Mr__: Its not ubuntu 'support' related. so i would say take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:28] Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1731422 this is what lstarnes wrote for me [03:28] it is not more user friendly it is awful, I find it harder to use then the old version [03:28] Mr__, please keep your FUD out of this channel. [03:28] StupidandUgly: its a 'work in progress' personally i still use synaptic === er0x is now known as Iwan_Drago [03:29] i use aptitude [03:29] MilitantPotato: I do have a shell script. What happens is the package ldap-auth-config when installed pops up a blue screen and asks to enter some settings and I would like those to be set to a certain value without interaction [03:29] elky, you obviously don't even know what FUD means [03:29] Dr_Willis: ies4linux-2.99.0.1. It installed, extracted the cabs and so forth, but when it completed, I could not find any icons or launchers for it... [03:29] how can I run rhythm box on xubuntu? [03:29] StupidandUgly: install it, open it [03:30] Mr__, Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. All of which your "from the devil himself" crud aims to instill in to innocent users. [03:30] hellyes: i would say check the ies4linux web site. since its using wine. id think it would put stuff under the wine sub menu item [03:30] lol neat thought it required gnome, I'm a noob === Iwan_Drago is now known as er0x === entulho is now known as Entulho [03:31] how can I change grub2 from sdb to sda? [03:31] e-i-k-e: all i can suggest is check out the advanced bash scriopting guide and its examples and see what they do and try to figure out whats wrong. I rarely do fancy bash stuff. [03:31] Dr_Willis: I thought that too, but all that's under the wine sub-menu is notepad....the ies4linux website seems to only show how to install, which it is. Now I just need to find it and use it [03:31] chuy_max: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst you probably want to look at /etc/fstab as well... [03:31] Dr_Willis: thanks [03:32] joako, what? [03:32] e-i-k-e: I can understand what that script is doing. but i dont know eough to even see any errors. :) [03:32] joako, isn't grub2 supposed to use a different file than menu.lst? [03:32] grub2 does not use menu.lst [03:32] !grub2 [03:32] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:33] Can anyone here walk me through booting plop from floppy and installing? [03:33] mdg, whats plop? [03:33] alokito: its a boot manager [03:34] alokito: sort of.... [03:34] mdg, oh [03:34] hmm ok [03:35] clear [03:36] If I buy a domain name from godaddy I can set up a server (at the ip address that the name points to) and run my own email correct? [03:36] (an ubuntu server :D ) [03:37] edbian: you have a server, right? [03:37] gr4p3s, yeah [03:37] gr4p3s, well, I will :) [03:37] edbian: then I think you can... im pretty sure you can [03:37] edbian: what do you plan on doing with it? =] [03:37] gr4p3s, running my own website and hosting my own email :) [03:37] gr4p3s, I'm a computer science major and it looks like I need this :) [03:38] edbian: nice, have fun! =p Kinda jealous of you. Hahaha, I'm kinda broke right now, but I would love to build a server when i got the time [03:38] and money of course [03:38] hahaha [03:39] gr4p3s, I'm just going to use an old computer I have lying around. It won't be a server in the hardware sense (not yet anyway) I also am not filled with money [03:39] hello, on one of my systems, .encryptfs is under /home. Is that normal or Have I messed up something? [03:39] plob anyone? [03:39] I mean plop [03:39] edbian: good luck with it. but if your website gets popular, you're going to need to upgrade it probably [03:41] hello. [03:41] Dr_Willis: the installer for IE Linux says the location for the install is /home/nitro/.ies4linux. But when I go to /home/nitro/ I don't see .ies4linux anywhere. Am I missing something? [03:41] I was thinking of how awesome it would be if Ubuntu for mobile came out [03:41] hellyes: can i ask why you want IE on linux [03:42] blakkhelm: some websites I need to use for work, only allow IE 5.5 and above... [03:42] navidhg, i don't think that will work giving you root on a mobile is kinda dangerous [03:42] just run it through wine [03:42] hellyes: install a user agent spoofer for firefox and get around it [03:42] edbian: gr4p3s if it get's popular your isp is going to notice and shut you off probably.. running a server is typically against their CoC.. but it may be different where you are. [03:42] Or have the IE plugin for Chrome [03:43] blakkheim: can you tell me how to do this or where I can start this process? I've never spoofed and don't have a clue how to do it [03:43] It renders pages using the IE engine [03:43] blakkheim: that doesn't always work.. IE yick [03:43] hellyes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [03:43] scunizi_, oh, i didnt know that. i thought it was just a matter of upgrading your plan so you get higher bandwidth? [03:43] hellyes, if you have decent hardware you can use virtualbox to run windows(and IE in it) [03:43] hellyes: install an old copy of windows in a vm.. [03:44] run it through wine! [03:44] was wondering if somebody can help me with something. im new to this, but i would like to bind a key to switch from VMware full screen mode and minimize the program to task bar. I have backtrack 4 installed on VMware [03:44] gr4p3s: well you can do that but it typically involves moving from consumer service to business service. [03:44] gr4p3s: and they will typically assign a static ip for you as well. [03:45] wine works slow for me, does anybody else have that problem? [03:45] hi all, can dpkg know how to look for dependecies for a package placed in the same directory? [03:45] has anyone tried running itunes through wine? Does it work well? [03:45] navidhg: no [03:45] no does not work from what I recall [03:45] navidhg i know the latest itune does not work at all [03:45] does not even work on virtual windows [03:46] scunizi_, thanks for the info! i dont think im planning on hosting my own site, but in the future, maybe. =] [03:46] :S, I'm going nuts, Ubuntu installed GRUB2 on the wrong HDD (the old one that is very likely to fail very soon) [03:46] was wondering if somebody can help me with something. im new to this, but i would like to bind a key to switch from VMware full screen mode and minimize the program to task bar. I have backtrack 4 installed on VMware sorry to repost but if you have a solution for this please message me [03:46] ok [03:46] I tried the instructions to reinstall Grub2 without success [03:46] BoXis you can't use itunes with linux no exceptions, only way to run it is to dual boot [03:46] I'll have to stick to rhythmbox then [03:46] StupidandUgly: or use a virtual machine [03:46] blakkheim: worked like a charm! Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thanx to the rest of you who tried to help as well [03:47] navidhg, yeah but i can't get firmware updates at all for iphone [03:47] Hmmm [03:47] blakkheim Yes it will run on virtual machine but you cannot sync Ipod with it and that is all itunes is good for [03:47] StupidandUgly: why can't you sync the ipod? [03:47] no, i was just saying that my wine is slow [03:47] I need to be able to manage and download poscasts [03:47] blakkheim It just does not work I have tried before [03:47] setup VMware and run a 32 bit windows xp. you will be able to use itunes no prob [03:47] gr4p3s: you can do that without godaddy.. if you have a router it will typically allow you to connect it to dyndns.com.. dyndns.com will allow you to get a domain name for free like ..org com us etc.. also your isp will block port 80 and you'll have to change your server from using that to 8080 or something else.. limited use ..no problem.. cheaper than godaddy [03:48] That is all I use itunes for [03:48] StupidandUgly: then you are doing it wrong because it works just fine [03:48] navidhg, oh ur in good shape then [03:48] StupidandUgly, yes it does work, I have 2 ipod shuffles and 1 nano [03:48] scunizi_, but if you don't register the domain name you may loose it right? [03:48] scunizi_, hahaha, im not the one trying to do something with godaddy. edbian was. I do have my own site though... Registered a domain for $1.99, and i got free hosting on some site [03:49] fokuslee302 ????????? [03:49] StupidandUgly, I wasn't able to sync the nano, but shuffles work fine [03:49] blakkheim well I'm speaking from experience, they must have fixed it [03:49] fokuslee302: the one you choose is your's for as long as you are registered with dyndns.com.. [03:49] Anybody here familiar with Vmware workstation for windows? [03:49] StupidandUgly: maybe you were using the OSE version of virtualbox that doesn't have usb support [03:49] navidhg, im just saying if you just use itune for podcast your ok [03:49] scunizi_, shoot i didn't know that lol [03:49] aye paid for mine, sucks [03:50] * suppository craps [03:50] cool :) [03:50] blakkheim trust me I wasn't, I spent a lot of time searching the form as well and came to the conclusion that it does not work. I was trying to connect my ipod touch [03:50] StupidandUgly, you can use rhythmbox in gnome, and there's amarok in kde but you need to install some extra plugins for it [03:50] fokuslee302: but it's a sub type domain.. so if your account is setup with a user name like bilbo.. then your web address will be bilbo.geeksip.com or similar [03:50] * suppository takes a dump [03:51] StupidandUgly, yah, touch won't work :( [03:51] Is it true that they are removing Synaptic and gdebi in Lucid?!? :( I LOVE Synaptic... :/ Software Center isn't even a comparison! [03:51] aliendude5300: just use aptitude :) [03:51] * suppository shits [03:51] aliendude5300: you.. I think.. can still install it [03:51] !op | suppository [03:51] suppository: Help!

[03:51] gr4p3s, Where did you register for 1.99 ?? [03:51] blakkheim I was unaware that shuffles worked but thanks for letting me know :D [03:51] StupidandUgly, its too complicated for a plugin/soft in linux to sync nano or touch [03:51] aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

[03:52] alokito do you mean codecs? What do you mean by extras? [03:52] fokuslee302: that's kinda like a bbs in the old days [03:52] Anybody here familiar with Vmware workstation for windows? [03:52] StupidandUgly: http://matt.colyer.name/projects/iphone-linux/ [03:53] BLACk: use to be.. switched to virtualbox [03:53] im familiar with my relatives, but not with windows [03:53] what are your guys' favourite CMS (content management system)? [03:53] StupidandUgly: i got that link from one of the guys who worked on reverse-engineering the ipod touch [03:53] navidhg: joomla [03:53] well, it's official, it looks like I have to downgrade from grub2 to grub legacy [03:53] alokito yeah well my ipod touchs is pretty useless since the headphone jack broke so that problem solved itself [03:53] StupidandUgly, no not codecs, I mean that its hard to make a soft/plugin in linux that can understand the Operating system of nano or higher [03:53] Same [03:53] i got a problem with gorgs [03:53] shuffle's os is simple [03:53] alokito: check out that link i just pasted to StupidandUgly [03:53] i neeed to know how to close the vmware window in full screen mode with a key bind or something [03:53] minimize [03:54] the gorgs always try to catch some fraggles, and its a real mess around here [03:54] I wanted to know if there are any good alternatives to Joomla [03:54] BLACk: F11? [03:54] i need to minimize the window. no that wont work [03:54] don't they keep encrypting the firmware on the ipods? [03:54] I really hate how they are trying to oversimplify Ubuntu... it's much better the way it is than with the Software Center... I was actually disappointed when Add/Remove programs was removed. I've been using it and Synaptic since 6.10... :( [03:54] anyone else have problems with facebook chat on firefix slowing down their machine? [03:54] because they keyboard is being used by ubuntu [03:54] BLACk: does F11 take it out of full screen? [03:54] I don't know what I'm taking about so I will shut up lol [03:54] StupidandUgly, actually it wouldn't be that hard if ipods officially supported linux, but they don't, so bad luck to us ipodians :( [03:54] aliendude5300: the software center will do more, dont worry, its just still a work in progress [03:54] i need to minimize it to tool bar [03:55] while still in full screen mode [03:55] edbian: i found a really good coupon code in the summer at godaddy. after tax and icann fee, it was like $2.13 [03:55] BLACk: try in #vmware [03:55] maco, can you post it again? [03:55] ok [03:55] maco, the link, I missed it [03:55] alokito: http://matt.colyer.name/projects/iphone-linux/ [03:55] BLACk: I don't think you can do that without first taking it out of full screen mode [03:55] gr4p3s, Not bad! I just paid $10 [03:55] aliendude5300: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter [03:55] ok, thanks [03:55] alokito I hear mac takes code from linux, they should give back a little [03:55] StupidandUgly: no, they take from bsd [03:56] StupidandUgly: bsd license allows them to not release their changes [03:56] o [03:56] interesting [03:56] StupidandUgly: thats the difference between bsd and glp [03:56] *gpl [03:56] StupidandUgly, no, mac is based on the "mach" kernel which came from BSD [03:56] But they do release Darwin and other opensource stuff... Apple owns CUPS if you never noticed [03:57] Can anyone here help me with Kubuntu 9.10? [03:57] StupidandUgly, you can say its based on "unix" somehow, but no not linux [03:57] ic [03:57] edbian: it's always possible to find lower prices, if you just wait long enough... but $10 isn't bad either [03:57] maco, theres no way the software center will have information as technical as synaptic for power users like myself, such as dependencies. It just aims to make software installation easy for the computer illiterate, but as a software developer, I like having tools like Synaptic and gdebi for installing software. If they had Software Center and Synaptic + gdebi, I wouldn't care. [03:57] joako: it's amazing when you show http://localhost:631 to a mac user.. they never know it's there. [03:57] aliendude5300: if youre a software developer then im surprised you're using synaptic at all rather than apt-cache, apt-get, and aptitude [03:58] I know this is the Ubuntu channel, but can someone here help me on Kubuntu? [03:58] I might as well be using debian. I can build Ubuntu from a server command line installation as it is... :/ [03:58] saint__, it would be better to ask in #kubuntu channel, but you can ask here too [03:58] maco: agreed [03:58] saint__: whats up? [03:58] saint__: maybe whats up [03:58] maco, I use apt-get ALL the time. Synaptic is better for checking package dependencies and conflicts. [03:58] I am on an HP mini 110. I installed Kubuntu 9.04 then upgraded to 9.10. Everything works but the internet [03:58] aliendude5300: how so? [03:58] I connect wirelessly and still no internet [03:59] I do a ping and it pings fine [03:59] how do i set emphaty to work in invisible mode on gtalk [03:59] but nothing ever worked.. Any suggestions? [03:59] saint__: do you have encryption enabled on your router? [03:59] Can you connect to a site by IP address? [03:59] no [03:59] saint__: if ping to an outside ip works, youve got net... [03:59] yes. but not by URL [03:59] saint__: ok then dns is busted. whats in /etc/resolv.conf? [03:59] what does your /etc/resolv.conf say? [03:59] maco, thanks for the link, but I think a nano can't read normal "file copy-paste" [04:00] saint__: if you can't get to a site by url then check your dns settings [04:00] Sometimes, it's easier to see things in a GUI, so you have a better idea what is being installed when you add a package and what you require, as well as short descriptions of what each package is for. [04:00] oh I know. but for some reason when I type in say like google.com or what ever, that just freezes and it says that it cant find it. but it can find the ip [04:00] maco, itunes copies the files in nano in a special way [04:00] alokito: i dont know about nano. that link is for ipod touch [04:00] it's set to auto. [04:00] aliendude5300: aptitude show packagename [04:00] brb [04:00] saint__: you have to open a terminal and look at the file maco & joako mentioned [04:00] saint__: report back to them [04:01] sorry what was the file name again :P [04:01] Does anyone know of a mp3 player similar to an ipod that uses linux? [04:01] saint__: /etc/resolv.conf [04:01] scunizi_: He can also open a GUI-based text editor such as (I can't think of what one is called) [04:01] StupidandUgly: similar how? [04:01] it has a GUI interface [04:01] StupidandUgly: I have an Sandisk Sansa connect and it runs Linux [04:01] StupidandUgly: i use a Cowon D2. its a decent sized touchscreen system [04:01] StupidandUgly: it doesnt run linux, but it works well with it [04:01] StupidandUgly: a graphical user interface interface? [04:01] Sanza clip [04:01] joako: kate.. but he won't be able to edit it without installing kdesu first and using that to open kate [04:01] i have an eeepc that came with windows 7 starter, should i put normal ubuntu, or ubuntu remix? [04:01] lol yeah I just saw that [04:01] blakkheim, that's useful, but sometimes I feel too lazy to open a terminal and mess with aptitude. :P [04:01] sorry for error [04:01] Can someone help me? I would like to tell goDaddy.com to point my new domain name at a particular ip address. How do I do that? [04:02] hi [04:02] can i get some help with an xorg grb: not working at all , scroll light doest light and keymap doesn't change [04:02] edbian: ask godaddy? [04:02] How do I update java?? [04:02] ok. when I look for that file. what should I be looking for within it? [04:02] on ubuntu [04:02] edbian: log into your account with godaddy and look around there.. [04:02] qwerty_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:02] !pastebin | saint__ [04:02] saint__: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [04:02] saint__: use nicks so it highlights the person(s) your're talking to . [04:02] saint__: just give us the contents [04:02] edbian: You need to tell godaddy to associate your domain with a DNS server. The DNS server will handle the lookups of the domain to IP address. One free service is zoneedit.com [04:02] aliendude5300: it's less work than opening up synaptic and going through its menus and such [04:03] blakkheim: especially if youve always got a terminal open ;) [04:03] maco: i always do :) [04:03] joako, dyndns is another? [04:03] maco: should I do it on my 9.04 or upgrade to 9.10 again and try? If it's 9.10 I can't do it lol === david is now known as Guest17426 [04:03] Thanks guys, godaddy is throwing a thousand complicated things at me trying to get me to buy more crap from them === Guest17426 is now known as dnielsen [04:03] saint__: doesnt matter [04:03] ok one sec. [04:03] here is my xorg.conf [04:03] maco: one sec [04:04] edbian: Yes but the service from DynDNS you need for a domain is called "custom DNS" and it is not free [04:04] http://dpaste.com/139111/ [04:04] joako my sister has sandisk sansa and it works fine too :) [04:04] edbian: and if you have not completed your purchase from godaddy, please dont. Use a reputable registrar instead [04:04] edbian: you select the domain and then go to the server link, it should tell you where to put the ip address [04:04] joako, thank you! You're tremendously helpful [04:05] how am I supposed to configure GRUB2? [04:05] edbian: joako aplus.net is one [04:05] joako, oops, I already did. Name some that are more reputable? [04:05] !grub2 > chuy_max [04:05] chuy_max, please see my private message [04:05] maco: # Generated by NetworkManager [04:05] domain domain_not_set.invalid [04:05] search domain_not_set.invalid [04:05] nameserver 192.168.1.1 [04:05] nameserver 68.238.96.12 [04:05] saint__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:05] Boxis: Thanks [04:05] edbian: have you ever tried opendns? [04:05] scunizi_, Thanks [04:05] woops.. sorry [04:05] njsharkracer, I use them :) but not for hosting my domain [04:05] saint__: id expect the nameservers to come first... [04:06] Atleast leave gdebi in, there's a LOT of proprietary apps you can't get in the default repositories like Skype and it's MUCH easier to just download the .deb in firefox and double click it... [04:06] saint__: host google 192.168.1.1 [04:06] hi guys [04:06] edbian: I think t35.com is one... haven't tried it. [04:06] saint__: does it return google's IP or does it error out? [04:06] aliendude5300: dpkg -i file.deb [04:06] maco: it returns an ip [04:06] has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757 [04:06] edbian: For low volume I am not sure. I have an enom reseller account but if you just want a few domains they charge something like $35/year (reseller account charges "normal prices") I Never used them to register a domain but I use nettica.com paid DNS service and they say if you buy your domain from them you get free DNS service for that domain [04:06] saint__: try just swapping that file around so the 2 nameserver lines come before domain & search lines [04:07] ok. if I have nay other issues. I'll come back here after reinstalling 9.04 lol [04:07] maco: thank you for the help [04:07] blakkheim, true, but double clicking is easier than clicking the terminal and typing that after cding to the download location or typing the full path to the file... and gdebi takes up virtually no space at all so it makes sense to have in a default installation. [04:07] saint__: no problem [04:07] maco: can't saint__ put in opendns's ip's? they're pretty fast [04:07] maco: it should not matter I see here the default resolv.conf generaged by NetworkManager and it is domain lan / search lan / nameserver 192.168.1.1 [04:08] scunizi_: yes, but the confusing bit is that the there *is* a working dns server in there already [04:08] joako, Thanks! :) [04:08] BoXis, I'm having trouble finding the server setting you mentioned, can you be more specific? [04:08] do xubuntu have chan? [04:08] joako: ive never seen it in that order, but if specifying the dns server to use makes it work... seems like its not reaching that line of the file [04:08] Deviouz: yes [04:09] cool [04:09] Has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757 [04:09] hey all [04:09] h00k, no -- I'll have to keep that in mind... [04:09] hello, how can I install more codecs for ekiga?? [04:09] my first time here [04:10] edbian: give me a sec... [04:10] h00k: if there's a bug registered then there's at least one person [04:10] can anyone help with mapping keys [04:10] BoXis, Thank you, you've been very helpful so far :) [04:10] whoever, sure, what layout? [04:10] System -> Preferences -> Keyboard... [04:10] aliendude5300: I'm not sure if it's happening with everyone or if this is a special case for some reason [04:10] hm, my connection with my router is erratic, it slows down about every 15 seconds, but my other wireless devices aren't affected [04:11] is there an Internet Explorer plug-in (spoofer) for Chrome(linux)? [04:11] what are the utilities I can use to help diagnose this [04:11] like a network version of top or something [04:11] Koganei, kismet is useful for wireless diagnostics. [04:12] I deleted grub [04:12] wat happen [04:12] Koganei, someone might be forging deauthentication packets, or you might have a weak signal/bad driver. [04:12] aliendude5300: here is my xorg and it's us and davorak-r http://dpaste.com/139111/ [04:12] Hell has broken loose cysic. [04:12] Has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757 [04:12] edbian: ahah, i just logged on to godaddy and they changed the website. [04:12] evidently [04:13] BoXis, I hate it BTW, it's a mess [04:13] I just tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10. At some point in the process the computer crashed at the kernel level (REISUB did not work). So I power cycled it, and it booted up fine. Is there anything I should do before trying to upgrade again? [04:13] hey all. having a major problem running ubu 9.04 nbr, and vbox 3.1. 2 days of this and im sick of it. how can i completely purge it and try it again??? [04:13] curtmack: perhaps sudo apt-get install -f [04:13] maco .. here's what's in my kubuntu resolv.conf in my vm.. http://pastebin.com/f269bced7 [04:13] i reinstalled grub [04:13] is there an Internet Explorer plug-in (spoofer) for Chrome(linux)? [04:13] edbian: You might have to make manual entries in the name servers. [04:13] how do i add a server? [04:14] Yes there is hellyes [04:14] BoXis, Can you help me do that? [04:14] yo ppl some of my samba share folders show up on my network with weird ass letters and numbers instead of the folder names [04:14] whats up with that? [04:14] There a chrome plugin [04:14] !language | rahduke1 [04:14] rahduke1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:14] whoever, type setxkbmap us in terminal for us layout... [04:14] h00k: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed, 1183 not upgraded [04:14] let me check the command for dvorak. [04:14] and how do you enable java? [04:14] I am trying to access a online chart and says I have to enable java [04:14] curtmack: it "sounds" okay [04:14] navidhg: do you know the name or how I can get it? [04:14] But I already installed it [04:15] Google it! [04:15] yo ppl some of my samba share folders show up on my network with weird a$$ letters and numbers instead of the folder names, whats up with that?? [04:15] I'm not on my Ubuntu system at the moment [04:15] whoever, for dvorak, i think the command is setxkbmap dvorak [04:15] So I couldn't tell you [04:15] aliendude5300: is this to set the initial keyboard? [04:15] okay, different question: At this point, would you say it's simpler to download an Ubuntu 9.10 ISO, install a fresh copy, and then manually install all my programs? [04:15] I have /home on a different partition [04:16] curtmack: i find that its faster to just do a fresh install, upgrades always take me forever [04:16] I believe so, if not the default can be selected in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts. [04:16] aliendude5300: its davorak-r.. hopefully [04:16] yo what's up -- I'm trying to copy a file to my desktop (using root nautillus) but I get an error saying I don't have permission. How can I bypass this error and copy files and folders? [04:16] hellyes: thers a chrome extension web site [04:16] curtmack: not sure what's going on but have you tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:16] scunizi_: I was upgrading through the Update Manager [04:16] aliendude I installed java [04:16] thanks [04:16] isn't that essentially the same thing? [04:16] BUt how do I run it [04:17] ya'll are too cool to help me out? [04:17] phixxor: You should not need to use root to copy files to your desktop. [04:17] qwerty_: perhaps you dident install the java plugin. [04:17] qwerty_: but the java runtime instead. [04:17] !java [04:17] curtmack: you'll probably be okay doing a dist-upgrade with update-manager -d, if worse-comes-to-worse, perhaps have a 9.10 liveCD/USB on hand [04:17] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:17] rahduke1: are the drives in fstab? that are shared? [04:17] usr13, I had to use root to access the directory I'm copying from [04:17] whoever, I've tried dvorak -- it's so much slower than QWERTY for me. Unless you're used to it, it's not worth it if you type fast in QWERTY (for me I type 60wpm in QWERTY). [04:17] curtmack: no.. it should just upgrade older programs to the latest version for the release that you have. [04:17] mkquist: no sir [04:18] rahduke1: thats when it happens to me [04:18] just you typical SMB shares accessed from win7 win xp and xbox [04:18] phixxor: Should not be needed. [04:18] What files are you tring to copy? [04:18] usr13, why [04:18] rahduke1: oh i thought you meant the ones on ur linux box [04:18] whats the command to run rhythmbox from the terminal [04:18] from where? What directory? [04:18] dr. willis [04:18] How do I install the actual Java [04:18] usr13, files from an external HD used for mac time capsule [04:18] er, time machine [04:18] mkquist: it happens on linux comps accessing the shares as well [04:19] rahduke1: got me there [04:19] so yeah, network tools anyone? :P [04:19] aliendude5300: i'm typing with one hand [04:19] i mean i got a folder called 2012 being shared and it shows up as 2GW244~Z [04:19] wtf [04:19] its insanity [04:19] phixxor: What filesystem does the external HD use? Is it FAT32? or? [04:19] StupidandUgly, run the rythmbox, then look at the processes with ps [04:19] thanks [04:19] hey does anyone know if there's a way to remove the udf partition that sticks around even after a complete reformat on a WD passport? [04:19] HFS+ [04:19] StupidandUgly, ps xaf rather [04:20] hello, how can I install more codecs for ekiga?? [04:20] w3asal: cat /dev/zero > /dev/whatever-your-drive-us [04:20] aliendude5300: ? [04:20] it's not the data I want to get rid of, it's the partition. partition managers don't see it, but it mounts [04:20] epaphus: If you install mplayer, you will more than likely install more codecs with it. [04:21] w3asal: if it's a new one, no,because it's on a physical chip [04:21] whoever, sorry, I was reading on the web for a minute there... I guess that makes sense if you type with only one hand. [04:21] w3asal: Ok, then don't run the command I said because it will erase everything on the drive [04:21] joako, yeah, I know [04:21] h00k, that's what I was afraid of, any way to tell ubuntu not to mount it? [04:21] aliendude5300: when i enter $ sudo setxkbmap dvorak-r [04:21] Password: [04:21] Error loading new keyboard description [04:22] I wonder, if you take apart the drive and put the drive in your PC does it still show up? [04:22] wastrel: good question. I saw a tut online that showed how to remove the chip but it voids the drives warranty [04:22] urs13: I can read the files in gksu nautilus, but if I try to cd into the directory, I get "sudo: cd: command not found" [04:22] phixxor: not sudo cd just ce [04:22] cd not ce [04:22] usr13, then I get permission denied [04:23] phixxor: mount | pastebinit [04:23] whoever, type -config before the name of the keyboard map. for example setxkbmap -config us. [04:23] http://pastebin.com/f64fa2228 [04:23] whoever, that should fix it. [04:23] phixxor: Let us have a look at how it's mounted. [04:23] usr13, alright. I let gnome auto mount it [04:23] whoever, tell me if that works for you... [04:24] phixxor: You got it now? [04:25] usr13, so the way it's mounted affects whether I can copy files from it? [04:25] aliendude5300: what is the purpose? i that it was aleady anitializd in xorg.conf [04:25] usr13, got what? [04:25] anyone recommend a good movie [04:25] Never mind.. [04:25] I now see that the physical chip is being mounted from /dev/sr1, can I add a config line somewhere to just ignore /dev/sr1 automatically? [04:25] Has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757 [04:25] whoever, it lets you change your keyboard mapping if it's not working... not sure how you'd change that in Xorg.conf. [04:26] phixxor: Which is it? /media/75D39D7D40509F2B or /media/Macbook Backbook [04:26] usr13, macbook backbook [04:26] whoever, plus, you don't have to restart the xserver to switch between us and dvorak. [04:26] usr13, my ultimate goal is to copy directories from macbook backbook to the other partition [04:26] whoever, useful if sharing a computer. [04:26] phixxor: cd /media/Mackbook\ Backbook/ [04:27] what are some packages I can get ride of that will reduce the size of the Xbuntu OS? [04:27] besides the common ones [04:27] usr13, mac*book backbook, but got it [04:27] usr13, what now === fractalis_ is now known as fractalis [04:28] aliendude5300: i enter setxkbmap -config us and i get no error but the layout does not change [04:28] is there a line I can add to fstab which says "when something is plugged into /dev/sr1, ignore it"? [04:28] phixxor: cp file1 file2 file3 $HOME/Desktop/ [04:29] phixxor: Or: cp file1 file2 file3 /media/75D39D7D40509F2B/ [04:29] usr13, it's not that simple. The directories I need are nested in some tricky partitions: see http://bit.ly/5IHQC5 [04:29] usr13, but I'll try [04:29] aliendude5300: fyi: the default keymap is dvorak-r [04:29] usr13, tricky directories, rather [04:30] Can someone give me a link to how to setup a SSH server on linux? Google didn't help [04:30] whoever, hmm... not sure how to fix that. To see usage information for setxbmap, type man before the command: man setxkbmap [04:30] maybe someone else knows... this is a public IRC channel after all. :) [04:30] Purpley: sudo apt-get install ssh .. then it's installed both server and client [04:30] phixxor: The tab key is your friend.

[04:39] IdleOne: thank you [04:39] <{MHA}Demonic> well i tried to install two but they seem to stay at 0% [04:39] whoever, I've been using just dvorak instead of dvorak-r if that makes a difference... [04:39] tsolox: it went fine. I also upgraded two machines from 9.04 to 9.10 using upgrade as well [04:40] goose: I think you can do that with screen and irssi or weechat [04:40] scunizi_: I do it with screened irssi, but for this scenario, I need a BNC [04:40] aliendude5300: it does, i have us wrking now ne4ed davorak-r [04:41] goose: k.. maybe the suggestioin from IdleOne will work for you. never heard of it. [04:41] aliendude5300: slightly different for rightr hand [04:41] morning [04:42] scunizi_: it is sorta like running a mini ircd that connects to freenode and then you connect your client to "your" server. when you disconnect your client the bnc keeps your nick online. [04:42] if I used the Ubuntu installer to encrypt my home directory (and set it to unlock on login), is removing the encryption as straightforward as just reformatting /home and fixing up fstab? [04:42] whoever, maybe something like dvorak-right? Sorry, but I don't know what it would be called :/ [04:42] the sudoers file should always be located at "/etc/sudoers", right? [04:42] (I can't find it there) [04:42] how can we tell in commandline what ubuntu version we have? [04:42] goose, does visudo find it? [04:42] IdleOne: what's the benefit over screen and irssi? [04:43] jaem|away: negative [04:43] thanks for the help guys, turns out adding the mountpoint as "none" in /etc/fstab is what I was looking for [04:43] yo what's up -- I'm trying to copy a file from an external hd to my desktop (using root nautillus) but I get an error saying I don't have permission. How can I bypass this error and copy files and folders? [04:43] scunizi_: you can also give accounts to other users to connect to the bnc [04:43] goose, that probably is not a good sign :S [04:43] IdleOne: and will they be using your nick or one they setup? [04:43] scunizi_: their own nick [04:43] phixxor, what is the error exactly? [04:43] jaem|away: heh..that's what I thought :S It's a VPS, if that counts for anything... but I've always found it in /etc/sudoers [04:43] jaem|away, just a second, I'll reproduce it [04:44] what's the "find" command for a text file? [04:44] hello, is it socially acceptable to plead for help with certain problems with ubuntu? [04:44] IdleOne: and can the others talk within themselves through the bnc without bouncing to freenode or whereever? [04:44] goose, out of curiosity, which company is it with? [04:44] phixxor: the desktop is a separate nautilus session running as your user.. navigate to your Desktop in the root nautilus window [04:44] jaem|away: VPSVille (Canada) [04:44] scunizi_: yes ZNC has that feature, I guess most bnc's have it [04:44] jtaji, aaaaah, thanks, I'll try [04:44] ilovealcoa: There are a new tread going on... Cyberbegging! You can beg but you're better off stating your problem and if anybody know, they'll respond. ;) [04:45] how can we tell in commandline what ubuntu version we have? [04:45] tsolox: lsb_release -a [04:45] goose, that's odd... I know Linode (my host) does some funky things with the boot subsystem, but I can't see any reason to mess with sudoers [04:45] was it there before on this system? [04:45] thanks kinja [04:45] jtaji, usr13, jaem|away Thanks! that works perfectly [04:45] go to system and click about ubuntu or something like that [04:45] maco: thanks [04:45] jaem|away: I just reimaged. it. I don't want to have to root every time I install a package, I'd rather sudo and lock out the root account [04:45] IdleOne: k.. guess I'm still missing the point of it other then a remote irc server that connects directly to an actual irc server.. I'll have to mull it over [04:46] whoever, I looked it up for you. Try setxkbmap us dvorak-r [04:46] hello, which file system should I use to store large number of file, and how to tune it? [04:46] tsolox type in terminal cat /etc/lsb-release [04:46] scunizi_: basically let's say you wanted to give your customers a way of contacting you via irc you could setup the bnc to freenode and then have the bnc auto forward to #scunizi for example === david is now known as Guest45296 [04:46] tsolox nvm [04:47] IdleOne: so customers would connect to the bnc and it would relay to you nomatter what channel you're on? [04:47] ok, can anybody help? problem: ubuntu claims that certain files it has created are > 100,000 GB, despite the fact that they are entirely contained on a partition that is less than 50 GB. this evidently leads to problems when attempting to copy the files to another medium. does anybody know some way to work around this? === skream is now known as Guest44588 [04:48] ilovealcoa, are the files intact or important? e.g. can you just blammo them and be done with it? [04:48] IdleOne: or #scunizi would be an inhouse bnc server hosted channel even though nick scunizi is also connected to other channels? [04:48] jaem: no, i wish. i am actually attempting to back up an operating system, and these files are all contained in the /proc folder [04:48] scunizi_: not exactly. when they connect to the bnc they would be sent to #example. you would have to be in that # [04:49] How sexy my ride? [04:49] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrvC-lgTqhk [04:49] scunizi_: from what I understand bnc's were used back in the day when networks didn't use nickserv. [04:49] what packages can I remove that will make Xubuntu smaller but will not hinder its functionality for a novice user [04:49] IdleOne: and that's something you set within the bnc so when they connect they're routed directly to a specific channel you're monitoring? [04:49] hello evry body [04:49] Its just going to be used to play music and watch videos [04:50] scunizi_: and there is also the feature that when you reconnect your client you get a playback of what was said while you were gone. [04:50] scunizi_: yes the #example routing is set in the bnc [04:50] IdleOne: k.. starting to see the light :).. intersting.. [04:50] okay. I need someone to walk me through an ubuntu partition dual boot installation on my vista desktop [04:50] anyone have the time? [04:50] im just use ubuntu who can teach me wat name program help me save all program working when i shutdown? [04:51] plustax: where are you now? [04:51] tsolox I have the installation on a flash disk and am ready to install it. [04:51] But [04:51] i removed ubuntu software center from my favorites tab in ubuntu netbook remix, where do I find it to get ti back? [04:51] okay [04:51] I installed debian + LXDE [04:51] I dont know how to setup partitions and I'm really bad at this. I might need some vnc help once I get it on there. === Guest45296 is now known as david___ [04:51] cutegirl: system > prefs > startu applications.. Options tab [04:52] and it's screaming compared to xubuntu [04:52] is there an ubuntu distro that is comparable to debian + LXDE [04:52] it's superlight and fast [04:52] plustax: can you boot into linux using that flash disk? [04:52] scunizi_: we used to use bnc back when on EFnet. they didn't have nickserv ( not sure they do now ) [04:52] genoobie: you can install LXDE in ubuntu too [04:52] nevermind [04:52] I know, but the netinst of debian + LXDE wasn't too bad [04:53] I imagine there is a netinst of ubuntu [04:53] or xubuntu or whatever [04:53] ty jtaji [04:53] IdleOne: old school stuff. I like it.. I use to run a part time BBS on a 1200baud modem :) [04:53] I really like the way it runs [04:53] and aptitude is a nice pkg manager [04:53] hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu on a fresh install and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on display drivers and that [04:53] adminewb: it is setxkbmap us and setxkbmap -varient dvorak-r [04:53] tsolox check pm [04:53] which I know is in ubuntu too [04:53] Guest44588: what kind of card do you have in the machine? [04:54] I just thought xubuntu would be fast, but it's not [04:54] scunizi_: you are old lol! [04:54] yeah 1200baud :) [04:54] IdleOne: :) will hit 50 in 3 mths [04:54] I remember 150 [04:54] well here's my question [04:54] whoever: You're familiar with setxkbamp? [04:54] so can you help get it working knowing that , but 2 c [04:54] i have no idea, i'm lost without dxdiag :P [04:54] a little [04:54] I'm having a hell of a time with debian's kernel and my sound card [04:55] I'm wondering if I'll fair any better with ubuntu [04:55] Guest44588: basics like ATI or Nvidia? [04:55] Nvidia [04:55] any way to check? [04:55] What can I use to rip CDs? [04:55] whoever: Cool. I'm going to ask you if you know the answer to this --> The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:> Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but has 2 symbols>; Ignoring extra symbols Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server. [04:55] it's a laptop with cirrus sound [04:55] Guest44588: have you done all the initial updates the system usually prompts you to do right after an install? [04:55] genoobie, if you're looking for lightweight ubuntu, try crunchbang. :) [04:56] aliendude5300: ITS 2 different commands well not realy [04:56] Mike_lifeguard, Sound Juicer, or whatever that GNOME app is called will do the trick [04:56] there's a KDE app too, but the name escapes me [04:56] aliendude5300, is that comparable to debian + LXDE? [04:56] or, with KDE you can just do it through Dolphin with copy-and-paste [04:56] well the only reason I would switch at this point is if the kernel had sound card support [04:56] genoobie, I'm not sure, but I've gotten it to run on a Pentium 3 with 128MB ram... :) [04:56] jaem|away: thanks [04:56] yes i did scunizi_, but resolution is still at 640x480 [04:57] aliendude5300, run, or run well [04:57] I mean this is running well [04:57] whoever: Be back in 15min. I'll check the messages and see if you know the workaround. The forums didn't say much about this. [04:57] I can even play flash video fairly smoothly [04:57] :) [04:57] where can i find libgtk-perl [04:57] genoobie, what are your system specs? [04:58] P3 800, 256MB [04:58] kinja-sheep: i don't theink it is fatle to x .. your question is answard [04:58] like I said, I would keep what I have, but the soundcard is borked [04:58] i installed chromium in ubuntu but cannot find it through a reboot and a relog??? [04:58] Guest44588: k.. this is an easy one.. look in system>Admin>Hardware drivers and you'll probably see that there are a couple of nvidia driver available to "activate".. pick the recommended one typically the higher version number and activate.. it will download and install.. after that you'll have to reboot to activate it. [04:58] scunizi_: when i go to system>preferences>display it doesn't know what monitor i'm using - i have the hp install disk for my monitor and not sure how to install [04:58] I dunno if the kernel that crunchbang has will work either [04:58] Guest44588: you won't need the monitor install disk at all. [04:58] !chromium [04:58] You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [04:59] ok thankyou scunizi_, i'll try it and come back to let you know what happened if it's fixed or not :P [04:59] Guest44588: k.. I'll be here for a while [04:59] out of curiosity, if one were to uninstall apt/dpkg, would that be salvageable, or would it wipe the local db? I don't really feel like trying it to find out :P [04:59] genoobie, give it a try... it ran pretty well actually, compared to Xubuntu which was REALLY slow. It uses OpenBox as the desktop environment. [05:00] where can i find libgtk-perl [05:00] yeah, I'm going to try and build a custom kernel in debian [05:00] aliendude5300: openbox is not a desktop environment [05:00] if I don't have any luck, I might be back [05:00] aliendude5300, LXDE? Yeah, it's pretty nice [05:00] blakkheim, err window manager [05:01] LXDE rocks [05:01] super fast [05:01] yeah, and reasonably featureful [05:01] yeah, not too overloaded [05:01] just right [05:01] and newbie-friendly config, which is more than you can say about most lightweight WMs/DEs [05:01] I wonder why chromium doesn't show up in my menus? [05:01] :) [05:01] yes, definitely [05:01] aliendude5300: ? [05:02] bbl [05:02] i'm aware that this is not exactly the right forum, but does anybody here have any experience with the debian live cd? [05:02] whoever, did the setxbmap us dvorak-r work for you? [05:03] scunizi_: i opened the drivers, theres only one listed and it has a green circle beside it [05:04] Guest44588: so.. was it already installed? or did you install it? or does it need to be activated? [05:05] aliendude5300: for us it works but for dvorak-r you need setxkbmap -varient dvorak-r [05:05] anybody know where i would get libgtk-perl? [05:05] not sure..it says driver is activated and currently in use, the only thing i updated was the initial update [05:05] Does Firestarter protect ipv6 by default or only ipv4 like alot of fire walls? [05:05] Guest44588: and your resolution is still "low"? [05:05] whoever, I got it to work for me just by typing "setxkbmap us dvorak-r". [05:05] http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/w/wellenreiter/ [05:05] aliendude5300: and the varient option does not work fror us [05:06] i download this deb file and it is saying i need it [05:06] ckane, did you check the Ubuntu repos? [05:06] very low. it's weird right now though, it's showing 640x480 but theres more desktop than what shows on screen.. if i move mouse down, the screen moves, you know what i mean? [05:06] aliendude5300: but how did you toggle between the two [05:06] Does Firestarter protect ipv6 by default or only ipv4 like alot of fire walls? [05:06] can someone walk me through updating ubuntu 9.10 to the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel ?? I can't get any mono programs to show fonts on the 2.9.0 version [05:06] IIRC, GDebi or whatever doesn't resolve dependencies [05:06] jaem|away, i tried apt-get install libgtk-perl [05:07] i installed chromium in ubuntu but cannot find it through a reboot and a relog. any ideas why? [05:07] Guest44588: do "Alt+f2" and type nvidia-setting [05:07] ckane, sigh - give me a sec ;) [05:07] ckane, libgtk2-perl [05:07] ah [05:07] next time, use apt-cache search [05:08] thanks [05:08] will do [05:08] you're welcome. I somehow missed the fact of that command's existence until after I stopped using Ubuntu and switched to Arch XD [05:08] if i suspend my netbook with unr via the menu i am prompted for a password when i resume. when i suspend by closing the lid (confirmed via power mgmt) it doesn't prompt. the prompt doesn't concern me, but i'm hemorrhaging battery life with a closed lid and i'm wondering if it's suspending at all. [05:08] whoever, umm... setxbmap us to switch back. I think there is a way to set a keyboard shortcut to toggle, not sure... === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [05:08] what is arch xd [05:08] guess ill take chromium off then [05:09] ckane, it's a lightweight, flexible, diy distro - the installer leaves you with a console and a package manager - you do the rest [05:09] aliendude5300: try 'setxkbmap dvorak-r' [05:09] based on ubuntu [05:10] people like it because it doesn't come with things they don't need, and because once you figure it out, it's easy to get around [05:10] ckane, noooo [05:10] not even close [05:10] is there a way I can get synaptic to show the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel version? [05:10] but I probably shouldn't try to convert users on #ubuntu :P [05:10] anyone aware of split password-on-resume behavior depending on the way suspend was initiated? [05:10] lol [05:10] ckane, if you have questions, PM me [05:10] or Google it [05:11] libgtk2-perl is already the newest version. [05:11] ckane, oh wait [05:11] wellenreiter: Depends: libgtk-perl but it is not installable [05:11] it needs GTK 1.x?! [05:11] does anyone here have experience with getting the ralink rt3091 device working in Karmic? [05:12] effthis, yes, if you do $pmi action suspend, it wont ask you for a password [05:12] how do you install a program from source when it does not have a configure file? I am installing the ati radeon fglrx driver [05:12] I heard that Ralink were very Linux friendly .... but so far I am not experienced that [05:12] orman, so it doesnt have a configure.. what does it have? any .sh? any Makefile? [05:12] anyone? pweese ? :) I can't get any stupid mono programs to work.... [05:13] I have my /home on a separate partition, but I want to do a clean install with 9.1 instead of using 9.04. [05:13] effthis, i like to do $ pmi action suspend && gnome-screensaver-command --lock [05:13] What can I do to get rid of any files on /home that will be saved after the install. [05:13] split behavior confirmation is good for me, thx! [05:13] dios_mio it has modules [05:13] some .sh and .so files [05:14] Like all the config files, and I have some other stuff in /home/nathan as well. [05:14] I have the rt3091 chipset but cannot get it to work in Karmic [05:14] orman, you need to run the .sh... it must be an install script [05:14] ok thanks [05:14] orman, np [05:15] Are there any fancy things that can be done with lots of buttons on the mouse? [05:15] you know why my Live Disk wouldn't work.... my dumb ass downloaded the wrong one... I don't even own a 64bit server.... [05:16] lol time for bed === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [05:17] Hillshum, yes, if you have the CompizConfig Settings Manager, for some actions, you can set Mouse buttons to be the trigger (although i dont like doing this), also, if you have a five button mouse, (none too sure on Ubuntu, but) you might be able to use the buttons on the side to go back/forward on any browser(file or internet), i THINK for the second one [05:17] Is it possible to adjust the amount of change in volume when using function keys on a keyboard? [05:19] anyone know how to update the xserver-xorg-video-intel ???? [05:19] Crumbles: what ubuntu you running? [05:19] 9.10 [05:20] ralink in Ubuntu anyone?

Anyone familiar with GFA addressbook and how to install it? Thnx [05:20] I'm trying to get keepass to work with mono, but I have no text when I load programs. Apparently 2.9.1 fixes the issue. 9.10 ships with 2.9.0 [05:22] I'm using gimp 2.6, I remember in an older version of gnome there was a neat tool that would give you a dialog and ask for text. It would take that text and render it with a nice glossy effect and block letters and things. Where did that go??

[06:09] well I already looked in there /var/log/... but I couldn't find anything about vino or vnc [06:09] wowoto-: I don't want to change the keybinding... I want to change the function that keybinding calls... and I'm not seeing a way to do this [06:09] go in A dir, do a switch to a C dir [06:09] so I was hoping it was somewhere else :s [06:09] then commit [06:09] it'll make only a logical copy not a literal one... [06:09] so it wont use double space in the db [06:10] just... on your working copy, heh. [06:10] yeason: edit ~/.gconf/xxx [06:10] hah, well that's far better, that's what i was looking to do [06:10] octavio: Check vino --help or man vino. It could be published. [06:10] ok, thanks let me check that [06:12] Ademan: switch is pretty nice. it's how you can make tags also. For instance, for a release version you can do a switch from one of your branches to repo/tags/version-1.0-release [06:12] wowoto-: I've poked around gconf-editor but couldn't find them... do you have any idea of what folder the keyboard shortcut actions are in? [06:12] yeason: What shortcut actions? [06:12] hi [06:12] yeason: you in gnome? [06:12] whoa, look at the questions fly. hehe [06:12] baonus: yea [06:12] ralink in Ubuntu anyone? [06:13] we'll you have to actually create custom commands and then create a custom key that activates that command. the keys are in hex [06:13] kinja-sheep: I'd like to see if I can edit the volume change. It jumps randomly and I'd like to fine tune it [06:13] Hey, what's the ubuntu off topics chanel name?

Anyone know how to get it back please? [06:17] visitor1: * ?

[06:17] digitalaxis, also try asking in #winehq [06:18] which as i understand you're trying to do :f [06:18] iKernel, ah your right i have an older version, is there a way to upgrade or do i have to re-install [06:18] yeason: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyTouch [06:18] When following the instructions on http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html to get my webcam to work, its telling me to tar a file but when I run in terminal I get: tar: r5u870-0.11.2: Cannot open: No such file or directory [06:19] digitalaxis, installing the new version from scratch IS upgrading in the linux world :) [06:19] I dont have a problem accessing my folders, just my right click context menu on the desktop [06:19] I had to reboot the system. it's been about 5min and didn't turn off. should i pull the power? [06:19] baonus: thx [06:19] oh, maybe wrong guy. =P sorry [06:19] iKernel, I know, what i am meaning to ask is do i need to uninstall my current [06:19] baonus: thanks... that just might work =) [06:19] wowoto-: also, gnome-keybinding-properties [06:19] kinja-sheep, I dont have a problem accessing my folders, just my right click context menu on the desktop [06:20] digitalaxis, which one is your current?

[06:20] i think its gnome-control-center..... maybe [06:20] DaZ: yes, i dont want to type for every file the name, lxsplit works alright with just one file but i cant tell it to processs all *.001 files [06:20] digitalaxis, and yes, you probably will have to. but you can keep most of the stuff in .wine [06:20] but that might install a bunch of crazy other stuff [06:20] digitalaxis, back up ~/.wine and reinstall. you'll probably have to compile from source [06:21] iKernel: doesn't winehq provide ubuntu repository? [06:21] Its ok now! I fixed it myself!

[06:22] is there OpenOffice.org Access??? [06:22] Oyoz, open office org db [06:22] iKernel, Where do i get the source [06:23] kinzy: you gotta specify the tarball name first [06:23] digitalaxis, from the winehq website [06:23] iKernel, nvm found it [06:23] ok [06:23] kinzy: tar -f mytarball.tar r5u870....whateva [06:23] digitalaxis, also install build-essential from ubuntu repos [06:23] where can i download it???

[06:51] I am using a fresh install of karmic and my wireless is connecting and then disconnecting in about 10 mins. After it disconnects it will not reconnect short of a reboot. I am using an atheros ar928x chipset. Anyone have any idea? [06:52] hey folks [06:52] MaxHR, a) what are your specs ... b) have you tried Wubi ... c) did you check the md5sum of the .isos before burning (although seems unlikely that you would get 2 faulty .isos) [06:52] gotsanity: Install the backport modules. [06:52] gotsanity, I suspect its a driver issue, maybe there might be information in dmesg [06:52] my ubuntu 9.10's resolution is low, everything looks huge in there, anyway around that? [06:53] micr0x: changing the resolution? [06:53] kinja: i thought i did. i found a forum post suggesting that but its still behaving the same way [06:53] ok since kgpg is part of kdeutils, I think, how would I go about getting a newer version to try since my installed is broken [06:53] gotsanity: gotsanity: "aptitude search linux-backports-modules-karmic" -- It shows an "i" ? [06:53] DaZ: there's no option under display! [06:53] micr0x, System > Preferences > Display (did you try??) [06:53] >.> ... sorry [06:54] meh :3 [06:54] MaxHR: Have you tried booting to a liveCD? Ubuntu uses gnome by default. [06:54] ardchoille: ok, what about moblin desktop? looks like a nice simple interface, good for a newbie, would that be light on resources also [06:54] micr0x: then try checking your display driver.. [06:54] kinja: yes [06:54] MaxHR: I've never used or seen moblin [06:54] pulling the fucking power [06:54] gotsanity: I see. Have you reboot yet since you installed the backport kernel?

[06:57] MaxHR you could start with Xubuntu, and see how that works, then you could install the ubuntu-desktop package and see if you can start a gnome session and how it runs.

I had somebody here last night with same card as your and it solved his issue. Not sure why it does not do the same for you. [07:01] gotsanity: I see "linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic" in the repo too. Perhaps you would want to give it a try? [07:02] what a joke can't even log out since no icons. what a joke === saint_ is now known as Guest95534 [07:02] kinja-sheep, I am slightly confused as to what the backports does. im assuming it installs some kernel modules that will solve the issue. Now when i rebooted im just selecting the default kernel. should i be looking for another one? [07:03] maxhr: cdimage.ubuntu.com...but let my find you a direct link...just a sec [07:03] The_shark_001, try http://ningning.org/blog2/2007/06/18/solution-to-the-problem-of-lastest-debian-update-collapsing-xserver-with-the-nvidia-kernel-module (got this from the bug-report you linked to) [07:03] need a grub2 install command [07:03] its like sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/boot [07:03] i can't do anything like that i don't have a menu anymore. [07:03] can't remember the exact command [07:03] gotsanity: No. It should be fine. If you want to make sure, you can hold SHIFT at GRUB2 boot. Also, backports is for patches made to the modules after the release date. Kernel is the heart of the *nix. :) [07:04] Can someone help me with a wine issue?

[07:06] EastDallas: righton, thx, I will try the x86 cd on my own desktop... runs win2k now [07:07] MaxHR: After you install Xubuntu you can install the standard gnome desktop by installing the package called ubuntu-desktop. You can choose xfce or gnome when you log in. [07:07] i was reading that and there are no directions to install any of that from the prompt. I been working on computers for over 15 years so I guest it makes me dumb.

[installed via the install font in the font viewer]... now the problem is that it somehow changed my monospace fonts which have all become italics :/ how do i remove the bitstream fonts? where do they get installed?

[07:15] The_shark_001, try gnome-session-save --logout [07:15] nomad77, both those docs are useless as this is independently installing grub from an Ubuntu LIVE session [07:15] oh sorry [07:15] angelus: iirc he doesn't have a xorg running [07:16] nomad77, i need that info for a howto i'm writing on how to use an external hard drive + grub2 as mutliOS installer (i have already done it :-) just can't remember the commands) [07:17] <\vish> DaZ: oops , i was blind :/ it was in my ~/.fonts itself :) [07:17] <\vish> DaZ: i was looking for bitstream , instead it was named vera ... doh!

[07:19] nomad77, using grub-install with this method could make your hard disk unbootable from the menu [07:19] wgrant: what? why? [07:20] wgrant: is that ARM chip too old? [07:20] magic_ninja: noted,thanks i haven't used grub2 yet. sorry for prev grub-legacy spam [07:20] Vratha: The chip that it and other devices like the OpenRD use is only ARMv5, while Ubuntu 9.10 is built for ARMv6, and Ubuntu 10.04 for ARMv7+otherstuff [07:20] nomad77, np, would you like to see what i have so far? [07:20] oh, that's why i didn't try ubuntu then. i did read about that [07:20] sure [07:20] somehow, messing with compizConfig settings I managed to lose my ability to use my mouse wheel to change workspaces. Does anyone know how to get that back? [07:21] wgrant: hmm, interesting move for ubuntu. i know ARMv5 is old, but the sheevaplug is a new device with it [07:21] Vratha: Rather disappointing, but who needs an Ubuntu release that runs on hardware that is actually publicly available... [07:21] oh well, there's debian i guess [07:21] Vratha: Yeah, I run Debian on mine. [07:22] nomad77, http://pastebin.com/d9d8da23 [07:22] wgrant, Vratha: I happen to be getting one in the mail tomorrow, actually. Anything I should know about for installing Debian on it, or is it painless? [07:22] considering debian creeps along, release-wise, i don't think we'll be losing ARMv5 support for quite some time [07:22] it's not painless [07:22] the first time is sort of difficult [07:22] rww: My OpenRD-client was simple enough. Just search around -- there are official d-i images available, which you can easily boot with tftp [07:22] rww: but do this: first, apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade the ubuntu that comes with it [07:23] rww: from there, get yourself the latest kernel (check plugcomputer.org for info on how to do this) [07:23] rww: install the kernel to the flash [07:24] rww: then, get the latest u-boot so you can use MMC cards for booting, etc. [07:24] rww: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-arm@lists.debian.org/msg10262.html [07:24] magic_ninja: very nice! :) i saved it for future ref. [07:25] rww: That same procedure should work, but obviously change the images that you use, and you'll need a different arcNumber. [07:25] rww: then, you will want to take a USB stick or MMC card (not all work for booting, btw), and install a first-stage debian install on it. there is some link on plugcomputer.org for that, and they link to a more detailed explanation [07:25] Vratha: Or just TFTP-boot the sheevaplug d-i images directly... [07:25] and then just follow the docs to the rest of the install [07:25] Vratha: It's almost trivial. [07:25] you could TFTP them; i didn't like that approach [07:25] It's much easier. [07:26] i couldn't get an install working that way [07:26] it's really easy to just copy everything to a USB drive [07:26] WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS KID HAS MINDCONTROL? [07:26] does anyone know if there are any games compatibale with an xbox 360 controller [07:26] nomad77, well its going up on forums soon [07:26] MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS [07:26] MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS [07:26] Claviceps: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:29] Whats the terminal command to see all mounted drives and paths? [07:29] i just want to know when they're going to upgrade the sheevaplug [07:29] Vratha: u-boot is a strange creature indeed. [07:29] dryg, sudo fdisk -l [07:29] dryg: mount [07:29] thanks! [07:29] Vratha: Hopefully there'll be an ARMv7 version of all those devices soon :( [07:29] wgrant: yeah. it works fine and all, but not exactly the easiest thing to use [07:30] i appreciate being able to pop in here for simple things like that [07:30] But it makes a nice home server. [07:30] so thanks guys [07:30] * wgrant disappears. [07:30] wgrant: an ARM Cortex would be sweet :) [07:30] magic_ninja: from a command line palimpsest [07:30] wgrant: oh yeah, i love the plug computer for my home server [07:30] somehow, messing with compizConfig settings I managed to lose my ability to use my mouse wheel to change workspaces.

[08:49] baonus: i can issue a wget [08:49] evilsherpa: is this a samba, NFS share? [08:49] i believe it might be because nautilus automaticly connectects to the guest account, which doesnt request a password, but also doesnt give read access [08:50] {g}: i am not interested in any other apps that comes with it. [08:50] ziroday, i thought it was, the dirs are formatted to ext3 [08:50] baonus: so i can issue a wget, i meant [08:50] ziroday, but yeh it is an nfs share [08:50] baonus: when booting up i want to be able to run a script from a central location [08:50] evilsherpa: and how are you trying to access it? [08:51] <{g}> owen1: yeah, but they wont bite you or wake you up in the morning or... whats the problem with leaving them there? [08:51] evilsherpa, from a terminal enter the following command: showmount -e , can you see the share ? [08:52] but i see there's no init script in /etc/rc2.d/ to actually start the network [08:52] so what launches the network in karmic? [08:52] {g}: true. what's the package i should install (i use aptitude) [08:53] zamba: i put stuff like this in .xinitrc [08:53] <{g}> owen1: isnt openoffice installed by default in ubuntu?

[08:54] greetings channel - any regular expression gurus around? here is a regexp question I must resolve urgently - how do I replace all commas within parentheses. for example - $string = " hello world, hey there (this, is, a, string), thanks" should be converted to "hello world, hey there (this; is; a; string), thanks" [08:54] all that installing, just to remove, and reinstall ;/ [08:54] owen1: that's for the current user, yeah, but i need a bootup script for the whole system [08:55] <{g}> owen1: apt-cache search openoffice [08:55] <{g}> owen1: that will show you available packages with openoffice in the name [08:56] <{g}> owen1: "openoffice.org-calc" sounds good to me.

[08:59] Please Help [08:59] zamba: unfortunately, dhcp might not have you an address ready by the time rc.local runs [08:59] How to install skype in desktop [08:59] baonus: the problem is network-manager [08:59] PM?

[09:00] baonus: now it's all tied to some X stuff [09:00] intel_inside: i think it's in the medibuntu repositories [09:00] how to install atlantis pulgin [09:00] how to get that [09:00] I am completely new to ubuntu [09:01] intel_inside: follow these instructions for adding the medibuntu repository http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/29/medibuntu-the-only-3rd-party-repo-i-use/ [09:01] it is because I saw one of my friend using and it seemed me better compared to xp [09:01] intel_Inside: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ [09:01] then sudo apt-get install skype [09:01] owen1: sudo aptitude purge openoffice.org-base did it for me. No more OOo Database. You get the idea. [09:02] does ubuntu still have the issue with multiple drives having the same UUID not wanting to boot? [09:02] which user are using compiz perfectly ?? [09:02] I do not have a .Xauthority file in my home directory, when starting X it should be automagically generated, no? [09:02] zamba: you can un-install NetworkManager [09:02] which one to choose.... I am using ubuntu 9.04 [09:02] bgoldsmith, you can use sed or built in bash replace... [09:03] zamba: cron scheduler - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046139 [09:03] zamba: i mean... ideally to keep things from breaking during updates (the only real advantage I see in using these nice little packaged up linuxes) you want to come up with a solution that works with Network Managter [09:03] intel_Inside: you can choose anyone you like ,it is very conveninent for you to update it [09:04] Anyone know how I would go about setting up port forwarding via terminal(SSH tunneled)? [09:04] kinja-sheep: interesting, but it might damage your open office in some ways. make sure you can still use it. [09:04] intel_Inside: Ubuntu 8.10+ 32 bit [09:04] baonus: but network manager potentially don't bring up the network until X has been brought up [09:04] Thank You [09:05] I liked the community very much it is very helpful [09:05] Infact more than my fren told me [09:05] intel_Inside: I'm enjoying Community too (TV Shows). [09:05] intel_Inside: you are welcome :) [09:06] hey how do you get the yellow thing but we are in black [09:06] intel_Inside: what's community? is it an app? [09:06] owen1: The way I see it, openoffice.org is more of a metapackage than a real package (it is only 53.2k) and you always can add -s to simulate the progress. [09:06] be it anything its great [09:07] owen1: We're the community he was referring to, I believe. [09:07] :(( no one cant help me :S [09:07] yaramazgeyik: I'm running compiz but surely, how do one know if one is running compiz flawlessly? [09:07] Hello, I really need some help on how to install Ubuntu 9.10 onto a flash drive so I can use it in other computers. I have tried several times with no luck and everytime it totally trucks the bootloader which messes up my actuall comupter to an unbootable state. Is there anyone who can help? [09:08] i have compiz ok! but i cant install atlantis pulg-in [09:08] LewisDre4m: there are two apps that can do that. which one did u try? [09:08] bgoldsmith, for example: ORIGINAL="some ,,,,,,, symbols need to be replaced" ; NEW=${ORIGINAL/\,/\;} ; echo $NEW [09:09] LewisDre4m: unetbootin? [09:09] LewisDre4m: There are array of USB installations including Startup Disk Creator, unetbootin, direct zcat or dd, etc. What did you try? [09:09] owen1: Please for give me, I am a noob, I didn't try any app at all I just ran the live cd and installed it that way. [09:09] Missing .Xauthority file [09:09] LewisDre4m: i forgive u. [09:09] <---this guy [09:09] owen1: :D [09:10] owen1: So I should have used an app to do it? [09:10] LewisDre4m: we were all noobs. well, not me, but most of us. [09:10] owen1: lol [09:10] .... [09:10] kinja-sheep: So I should have used an app not just the live cd [09:10] LewisDre4m: Are you on LiveCD right now? [09:10] promet: ever since clean install of karmic i dont have .Xauthority file either [09:11] kinja-sheep: I'm on my Desktop machine running Ubuntu, I have the live cd in the computer though. (not running) but its there. [09:11] legend2440 any idea about why that is? [09:11] LewisDre4m: Do you see USB Startup Creator under System --> Preferences/Admin? [09:11] promet: no [09:11] yes [09:11] woops... bgoldsmith to get all of the , characters: ORIGINAL="some ,,,,,, symbols need to be replaced" ; NEW=${ORIGINAL//\,/\;} ; echo $NEW [09:11] kinja-sheep: USB Startup Disk creator [09:12] LewisDre4m: you are in good hands. I wish i had kinja-sheep to assist me when i was a baby. [09:12] LewisDre4m: Use that and plug the USB in. It'll format your HDD btw. [09:12] format my usb flash drive ye? [09:12] ok let me plug the bugger in [09:12] LewisDre4m: I mean the USB. I apologized for the scare. :( [09:12] legend2440 I am wondering if Karmic handles it differently, as I understand it, when X starts it should auto generate an .Xauthority file [09:12] for each user when they log in [09:12] kinja-sheep: I did just run to the toilet shorlty after you said that. [09:13] yaramazgeyik: You have to obtain the plugin? [09:13] also I have other guest accounts on my machine which DO have .Xauthority files [09:13] promet: i know it did in jaunty not sure why it doesnt in karmic [09:14] I believe it's messing up my NXserver install as well, which used to work like a dream but now spits out xauth errors and won't connect [09:14] hello! i have two buttons on my mouse that are on the side of it. How i can bind them to do particular actions (like change workspace)? [09:14] Hmmmm [09:14] kinja-sheep: Looks like it's having trouble formating it . . hmmmz 1 sec [09:15] hello everyone i am new [09:15] Hello Rainy. [09:16] hi ppl [09:16] hi [09:16] didnt know thr were so many ubuntu chatters ! [09:16] zamba: so is this thing supposed to work regardless of X? [09:16] i am also new to linux.. I installed a distro on my netbook 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it [09:17] kinja-sheep: What should I choose for "stored in reserved extra space" it's a slider. [09:17] Rainy: Welcome to the dark side. heh [09:17] yeah...it is damn gud [09:17] I love it [09:17] kinja-sheep: I need you buddy! [09:17] farhad: I think that can be accomplished in Compiz Settings. Not sure. [09:17] baonus: yeah [09:18] LewisDre4m: You want to use Ubuntu on USB stick? [09:18] kinja-sheep, i will check it now [09:18] yes, only to show mum and get her using it with out destroying her comp. [09:18] My mum is running Karmic. :-) [09:19] I'm worried what we are doing is going to put the "instalation process" on to usb rather than the actuall operating system. [09:19] kinja-sheep = world's hippest mum [09:19] LewisDre4m: It is up to you. If you want to keep files and settings persistent. === root is now known as Guest93561 [09:19] kinja-sheep: Will this make ubuntu bootable so I can run the os via usb drive.? [09:19] hehe... root [09:19] LewisDre4m: just use a livecd session? [09:19] zamba: you could certainly write a script with a symlink in cron.d that would be created with rc.local. The script could try the wget with a sleep 5 or something... then once it suceeded delete its symlink [09:20] baonus: terribly complex [09:20] zamba: =/ doesnt seem that bad really [09:20] Jkessler: Wanted something a little more substantial that she can change settings etc and play a bit more. [09:20] kinja-sheep: obtain ? [09:20] kinja-sheep: Will this make a bootable os on my usb drive? [09:20] baonus: maybe rather do something in if.up? [09:20] LewisDre4m: Yes. [09:20] yeah but you dont want if.ip to hang [09:20] surely [09:20] LewisDre4m: As long as the hardware is supported on USB bootings. [09:21] baonus: i've removed network-manager now, but still the network gets brought up at boot.. why? [09:21] you can't save settings in a usb install can you? [09:21] yaramazgeyik: I see what you mean. You want the fish. [09:21] yea ^^ [09:21] it says copying files. So when will I get to put in langugae time zone etc like you would when you normally install? [09:21] zamba: you're going for it to NOT establish a network connection on boot? [09:21] !usb | Jkessler LewisDre4m (Yes you can). [09:21] Jkessler LewisDre4m (Yes you can).: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [09:21] kinja_sheep: yea [09:21] baonus: no, i'm going for figuring out HOW it does it, so i know when to insert my boot up scripts [09:21] is thr any virtual desktop kind of thing present in linux [09:21] Hello , each time is required to connect internet , ipmasq should be stopped first , and then for sharing network starting it is needed , how to avoid doing so after each reboot ? [09:21] huh. i installed another dist on a flash drive and it only ran as a live session [09:21] i installed my os thru USB cuz i have no optical drive [09:22] that's cool though [09:22] baonus: i'm afraid to say this, but ubuntu is moving in a windows direction.. stuff happening for no reason.. [09:22] zamba: what if you're not plugged in and there's no wireless in the area? [09:22] LewisDre4m: I don't think so. I don't use USB Startup Creator myself. I do the low level stuffs. :-) I can't be certain what you'll see. [09:22] baonus: this is not a laptop [09:22] zamba: hahaha, that's harsh [09:22] yo yo yo [09:22] baonus: well, it's true :p [09:22] kinja-sheep: oh lol, I thought you were the wizzard! [09:23] baonus: earlier you had a networking script that was symlinked into the correct runlevel.. and then you could determine when and how the network got brought up.. now it's some hidden magic somewhere bringing it up [09:23] yaramazgeyik: Well -- I don't know. Even I am fumbling a little trying to set it up right now. I'll give you a fish though. ALT + F2 and type in "free the fish" (w/o quotes). [09:23] hi all [09:23] kinja_sheep:ok i try [09:23] kinja-sheep: We wll see, my instinct tells me all this will do is basically give me a "ubuntu cd" on my pen drive rather than installing the os on it. [09:23] kinja-sheep: when running an OS from a usb, is it reducing the life of the device? [09:23] can someone help me to install ubuntu ? i don't see my sata in the installation [09:24] owen1: Yes i'm sure it does but im not gonna be using it much just a few days or something [09:24] kinja_sheep: but ıst simple :D [09:24] baonus: do you know how the network is brought up? [09:24] baonus: if you remove network-manager? [09:24] LewisDre4m: Just pop in the disc and let your mom play with the demo. The good thing about LiveCD is that it's read-only. [09:25] kinja_sheep: i cant close it but this fish so sweet :D:D [09:25] kinja-sheep: Well in my case thats the bad thing, as she can't take off programs or install them or have a good play around you know? [09:25] LewisDre4m: No need to sugarcoat anything. She's your mum. She'll love you regardless. :o [09:25] kinja-sheep: lol [09:25] zamba: Crap... I'll have to look at it. Gimme a second [09:25] zamba: you can use ifconfig or iwconfig or you can use /etc/network/interfaces [09:26] ActionParsnip: that's what i'm using [09:26] ActionParsnip: He's looking more for a script hook to run something [09:26] i have a bluetooth adapter that i was using before without problem and now for some reason its not detecting when i plug it in. any ideas? the adapter is an iogear gbu421wm [09:26] LewisDre4m: What particular programs? I have to "wine Solitare.exe" so she can play the cards with the sharks. [09:26] zamba: cool beans [09:26] yaramazgeyik: Enjoy the fish. :) [09:26] ActionParsnip: but the network is not brought up till when rc.local is run [09:26] baonus: gotcha [09:26] kinja-sheep: Chrome etc [09:27] i want to try ubuntu 9.10 but i can't install it on a 80G sata II. Any idea to install it ? [09:27] I LOVE and I mean LOVE google chrome for linux. As soon as that went linux I switched immeediatly I love google chrome so fast! [09:27] zamba: you can add a command to rc.local to make it come up surely? [09:27] LewisDre4m: i love chromium too. its awesome [09:27] ActionParsnip: do a /etc/init.d/networking restart there? [09:27] zamba: ubuntu 9.10? [09:27] zamba: worth a try [09:27] ActionParsnip: Fastest web browser in the world! [09:28] baonus: yeah [09:28] LewisDre4m: lynx is faster [09:28] oh haha [09:28] kinja-sheep: thanks for help ^^ [09:28] nobody can help me :S ? ? ? [09:28] Anyway Thank you for all who helped me, special thanks to owen1 and kinja-sheep and anyone else who helped. Have a great day. Keep safe see you later! [09:28] ActionParsnip: what's the best way to install it? [09:29] yaramazgeyik: You might can find your answer in #compiz -- Let me know though! [09:29] LewisDre4m: No prob. [09:29] does lynx run in ubuntu action p ? is there a distro of it ? [09:29] elpigeondindo, why can't you install it there? [09:29] <{g}> gheddy_zarc: what is "ubuntu action p"? [09:30] ActionParsnip: that did the trick [09:30] mka: i don't see my drive on installation [09:30] {g}: i could tell you, but it's classified. [09:30] elpigeondindo, how many hard drives do you have? [09:30] kinja-sheep, yes. i have configured it with compiz. thank you very much [09:31] farhad: Great! ;-) [09:31] sorry {g} meant ActionParsnip,, lynx looks lke a text browser hows that work,, [09:31] * gheddy_zarc runs off to synaptic [09:31] {g}: what i can tell you is that Ubuntu Action P involves deep-cover insertion teams and strong cryptography [09:31] mka: 2 Sata II [09:31] lol [09:31] gheddy_zarc: w3m is installed by default [09:31] kinja_sheep: can i ask a last question [09:32] gheddy_zarc: and w3m is a LOT better than lynx [09:32] can anyone recommend a good room thats less crowded [09:32] Rainy: for ... ? [09:33] for chatting [09:33] Rainy, just chatting or support for ubuntu? [09:33] just chatting [09:33] !offtopic > Rainy [09:33] Rainy, please see my private message [09:33] Rainy, no I dont know of any off hand other than offtopic as suggested [09:33] gheddy_zarc: it reads the html and displays text, images can be viewed by clicking links [09:34] gheddy_zarc: didnt say it looked better, its just faster [09:34] kinja-sheep: i have a webcam but i cant open it ... [09:34] how do I run it ActionParsnip ? from terminal ? [09:34] I have a bluetooth adapter (usb) that shows up under lsusb and dmesg but is not showing up under the bluetooth settings, any ideas? [09:34] gheddy_zarc: yep, its a terminal based browser [09:34] yaramazgeyik: You installed cheese? I have to restart my X. [09:34] thats the only channel on this server thats non ubuntu?

[09:36] Rainy, try going to talk your neighbours physically [09:36] um no [09:36] i didnt ask for sarcasm [09:36] i'm running ubuntu 8.04 lite 64bit and some scripts give me "no such file.." errors even tho the files are there, example: http://pastebin.com/d55157535 - could it be due to that being 32 bit binaries? [09:36] Rainy: it was in no way sarcastic [09:36] Rainy: this is a massive network with thousands of channels [09:36] Rainy: i simply gave an example of a non-ubuntu channel [09:36] kinja-sheep: cheese is find all webcam driver [09:36] i will just try another network [09:36] Rainy: it's like being in New York and asking, "Can somebody recommend another taxi?" [09:36] kinja-sheep: i have acer laptop [09:36] Rainy: how is that sarcastic ? [09:36] Rainy: what was your question? [09:37] question was can someone recommend a good room for non ubuntu chatting [09:37] aPanDa: chmods? [09:37] since im new to this network [09:37] so i can browse http with lynx ? Im running it in termina l now but cant see how to operate it,, [09:38] and /list has hundreds of options i dont want to just bust in on someones room [09:38] Rainy: you mean your new to IRC chat ...

I am just visiting some new ones. [09:38] does anyone know of a way to create a screen saver? slideshow type of thing...

[09:44] hi al [09:44] zamba: ok, i see what you're saying about the mysteries. they've gone to upstart [09:44] baonus: what's upstart?

[10:27] It should. [10:27] bl3s5in: aptitude/apt if you don't mind:). [10:27] Where is the kernel located in hardy heron [10:27] You got it.

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [10:29] Your home directory doesn't have any thing all that important to the system in it. So all you really have to do is set the new partition to mount as /home in the installer and you should be good to go. [10:29] ActionParsnip: that's disgusting! i'm hungry, i thought ubuntu is something to eat :/ [10:29] kraut: no its not, just like windows isnt either [10:29] my next question is: what is the best approach to moving my home dir to a seperate partition? i have seen plenty of guides, but many people post about having problems (uuids?) after trying them [10:30] !home | jeffjeffdejeff [10:30] jeffjeffdejeff: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [10:30] ActionParsnip: i now. a window is good for looking outside and getting fresh air into a building.

[10:31] jeffjeffdejeff: you can resize partitions on te old drive and use it all for home space [10:31] kraut, this is for ubuntu support only; chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:31] BT [10:31] ActionParsnip: old drive? [10:31] jeffjeffdejeff : I would just make the new partition, format it to ext4, then copy over all the files in your home dir. But I'm sure there is a more "proper" way to do it. [10:31] bazhang: i know. where is the problem? [10:31] jeffjeffdejeff: sure in the current system [10:32] jeffjeffdejeff: unless you are talking about transferring the drive from old to new to then boot it [10:32] I'm trying to create a backup of the installed packages and have a doubt about how to restore them. I've created the backup and also done "dpkg --set-selections < "packages". next is "sudo dselect". what do I have to do after that? [10:33] kraut: this channel is for support of the ubuntu OS. Talking about what a window is and food and what you thought ubuntu meant is not an OS support question [10:33] kraut: so is offtopic for this channel [10:33] ActionParsnip: there is only one drive. I'll be taking it out of this machine and putting it into the machine with the 64b cpu. i want to install 64b ubuntu, but don't want to lose my home dir [10:34] jeffjeffdejeff: i seeeee, yes it will boot fine but your OS will still be 32bit, if you have more than 3Gb ram in the new you will need to install the pae kernel to get access to all the ram [10:34] Good morning [10:34] ActionParsnip: oh man. you should know that i was just kidding. it was totally obviously!

[10:36] ActionParsnip What should I do then? Reinstalling everything once more? [10:36] alberto: you can use: gksudo jockey-gtk to install the driver, or use software-center to install nvidia-glx-185 [10:36] Actionparsnip: sorry, I need to clarify - it will still be 32bit OS if I keep my home dir from my 32b intallation?

[10:42] jeffjeffdejeff: my backup is a cron'd cp job so I can easily copy data back when its needed, nothing fancy at all [10:42] alberto: ModelName "CMO CMC 19AW" ? thats what nvidia-settings says your monitor is [10:42] ActionParsnip: sorry, cron'd cp job? i don't understand [10:42] I've been reading about installing a PAE enabled kernel for Ubuntu since i've a 64bit architecture and would like to know if there's a major difference in performance in Ubuntu between the i386 kernel and the PAE enable kernel besides 64 bit support. I'm very new to the whole kernel thing and would like some advice.

[10:45] Zeppelin: just reformat the ubuntu parition to ntfs so you can use the space in windows ( join it with swap ) [10:45] omg sorry, posted in wrong irc room [10:45] jeffjeffdejeff: 32bit can only address so much ram with the help of pae, 64bit can address a stupendous amount, so your 32bit kernel will run on your 64bit cpu but will not be able to address all the ram, you will need to install the pae kernel which is 32bit but uses a software method to address more ram than a standard 32bit kernel can [10:45] erUSUL, i have NO idea how to do that [10:45] Zeppelin: then reinstall the windows mbr. you need the windows install CD ask details in ##windows [10:46] alberto: did you comment this line out? # Removed Option "metamodes" "1440x900 +0+0" or did nvidia settings [10:46] ActionParsnip: ahh, but when i install 64bit OS, I won't have that problem? [10:46] legend2440 Nvidia settings, actually.

[10:48] The problem is that I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my mothers Compaq Evo N800v. She has fairly new hard drive in it since the last one were about to break. No problems with the new disk. But now it gets really weird in Ubuntu 9.10 with ext4 instead of ext3, haven't tried 9.10 with ext3 yet, sometimes it's like if the HDD gets "removed" and the menu get fucked up and so does the letters on it. [10:48] How do I make it so I can JUST use my tv as a monitor? [10:48] Zeppelin: and you can not gennrate a installcd on the laptop ? [10:48] I can a recovery disk? [10:48] Zeppelin: maybe; really dunno. ask in ##windows [10:48] ActionParsnip: so it should work "out of the box" so to speak? [10:48] is therea way to resolve a host name by ip, if the entry is in /etc/hosts - the host is localted in LAN, no nameservice there.

[11:01] I tried to install it using dpkg -i, it failed, so now I'd like to get my apt back working again. [11:01] ActionParsnip: yes [11:01] samaelszafran: not sure, maybe its compiled badly, i suggest you remove your custom kernel [11:01] would someone explain "80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6" in update-rc.d ipmasq stop 80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .

I wasn't able to lower the resolution [11:27] thanks [11:27] whats weird is I go into display and it recognized the tv. But now when I plug it in it says not compatible. I'm wondering if it's maybe a driver issue? [11:27] fuzzy_: or maybe dsl linux is better [11:28] plustax: you lower it with the monitor attatched, then switch to the device you want to stay with [11:28] okay lemme try that [11:28] ok, I can has gcc on dsl. great. does it have security updates? [11:29] hi, i've successfully installed karmic on a ASUS x90s laptop. Since it's not reported in the tested list I think a report could be helpful, where should I send it ?

[11:32] plustax: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings you can set a low res in xorg.conf, when you get the display on you can then set a higher res, you may find you need to res the refresh rates for the display in xorg.conf too [11:32] it doesn't allow to explain what changes have been made to the the system to make it work [11:33] AlexisM: make a wiki page in http://wiki.ubuntu.com ??

[12:14] is there a good upd connection testing tool? i have a udp based gameserver running on 8.04 minimal and it randomly disconnects everyone while the ssh to the server doesnt disconnect [12:15] jillsmitt: usually bad sectors is kind of like seeing the headlights on the highway.. don't spend to much time on trying to fix it.. I agree with ActionParsnip fully.. get a new drive.. start backing stuff up [12:15] okay i understand [12:15] actionparsnip: here's another thought that struck me. i have two hdds that will be going into my new machine, as it's dual boot. how can i find out which drive grub is installed on, and will my new installation of the 64b OS mess anything up booting wise? [12:15] hello [12:15] Yeh I think the problem is my partition has errors which is causing grub to return an error, mka I'm on the live cd now how do I fsck from here? [12:15] jillsmitt: I think the drive automatically sets a sector as bad if it's misbehaving.. have a look at the s.m.a.r.t info [12:16] hello === martymcfly is now known as Guest55096 [12:16] #gp2x.de [12:16] Slart: need i some special software to install? [12:16] seems adding the debianutils package failed [12:17] jillsmitt: nope.. if you're running karmic you can go to system, administration, disk utility to see smart info [12:17] pawl: sudo e2fsck -fyvD /dev/devicename [12:17] the BIOS will be set to boot the new drive and they will most likely be different [12:17] jeffjeffdejeff: ^ [12:17] it was unable to overwrite add-shell [12:17] jillsmitt: badblocks and fsck (which is another way of avoiding bad places on the hard drive should already be installed) [12:17] jeffjeffdejeff: once you get the new one booted with the old drive in, mark it as not bootable using gparted or fdisk etc [12:17] pawl, ensure that you dont fsck a mounted partition, please [12:17] !info debianutils [12:18] debianutils (source: debianutils): Miscellaneous utilities specific to Debian.

[12:29] sharktooth19: thank you very much :)P [12:29] well seems i can't get over this install issue... [12:29] Sharktooth that was the problem I had with audio [12:29] moobie: if you can find a package for the kernel you can install it then uninstall it to remove the stuff [12:29] got it [12:30] Actionparsnip I fixed the grub problem its now a case of it freezes just after the white ubuntu logo [12:30] Any ideads? [12:30] ActionParsnip, well its a homemade custom compiled kernel. So I don't think so. There is just no wau I can remove the kernel it seems [12:31] done, i will see next reboot, thanks ActionParsnip, legend2440, Slart [12:31] pawl: is there a fix [12:31] initramfs wants to update it, even it has been deleted [12:31] actionparsnip: sorry, i need clarification (again) :) i have two drives in this machine, both of which will be transfered into my new machine. one drive has nothing but xp on it, and the other drive has nothing but my current 32b jaunty on it, which will be replaced by 64b Jaunty. what do I have to do to ensure grub sees and allows me to choose either xp or ubuntu to boot into? (take your time over this one - i can see you're busy) [12:31] moobie: could ask in #kernel [12:32] jeffjeffdejeff: if you have your XP drive in, when you install the system and install the new grub to the system it will see the other drive and nosey at it to see if its bootable, then add the right options to grub [12:32] I'm trying to use ubuntu one from karmic but I get the message: [12:32] "Capabilities mismatch with the server" [12:32] How do I fix this. [12:32] how to do a dist upgrade from CLI [12:32] ActionParsnip, actually its a initramfs problem it seems: [12:32] Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

[12:32] from server edition 8.10 to 9.10 [12:32] jeffjeffdejeff: I would keep the data drive out until you get square, you can then copy the stuff over [12:33] actionparsnip: ace. cheers [12:33] paulus68: i'm having upgrade issues myself ...damn apt-get unable to replace files [12:33] actionparsnip: datadrive being the one i've backedup /home to? [12:34] Boggie: I need to find out first how to start before I can judge on that, want to have the NFS installed but this is not working correctly on 8.10 [12:34] ah.. i am simply having problems with a package replace. [12:34] it fails for some reason [12:35] jeffjeffdejeff: just go slow and think about whats going on as you do it and you will be ok [12:36] I know that you have to adapt the sourcelist but don't what exactly and when I do a dist upgrade then I get error messages as well [12:37] actionparsnip: you say that, i have the uncanny ability to screw things up very easily. unfortunately for you, that means that all my preparation questions have landed on your lap! much appreciated. [12:37] Hi... since my sound card isn't supported i'm going to have to buy a new one... any suggestions on a card that supports 5.1 on Ubuntu? [12:37] jeffjeffdejeff: if you have a spare computer i'm sure someone will help you as you work through [12:38] DAMN debian utils [12:38] Does anyone know if having a swap file in menu.lst could make ubuntu freeze on boot? [12:38] pawl: a swap-file in menu.lst? never seen something like that [12:38] and I am tempted (but not prepared to take that step due to complex iptables config) to start from scratch but rather do a dist upgrade [12:38] chazco, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards [12:39] Hrm its strange [12:39] mka - Thanks :) [12:39] Ubuntu is freezing on boot and I have no idea why [12:40] pawl, are you using GRUB2 or Grub Legacy? [12:40] It says grub1.5 when it boots [12:41] pawl, you are on karmic [12:41] pawl, you are using ubuntu 9.10? [12:41] It freezes right after the white ubuntu logo and there's an underscore in the top corner [12:41] Yeh I'm on karmic [12:41] sup all, sorry for a noob question... So I have compiled my own emacs from source, but I haven't run make install yet. I have emacs from Ubuntu, installed with the package manager. Or apt-get install or whatever. What's the general workflow here? Do I uninstall from the package manager before I make install? That seems right somehow. But what seems to happen is that as I learn unixy things, and do them myself, I get more into conflict with the U [12:41] buntu hand holding stuff... I'm waffling a bit but I guess I'm not sure how it's gonna go, mixing packages and source compiled stuff... [12:42] ActionParsnip: a penny for your thoughts what do I need to do to do a dist upgrade from server edition 8.10 to 9.10 and if possible make sure that all the errors are gone? [12:42] clathrate: i would remove the old first [12:42] pawl, you are probably using grub2, I don't understand why you once mentioned anything about menu.lst [12:42] !upgrade | paulus68 [12:42] paulus68: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [12:42] ActionParsnip: I thought so. [12:42] paulus68: you will need a little stop at jaunty first [12:42] is there away to force the installation of grub1 with preeseed? [12:43] pawl, try to disable the splash screen and make ubuntu to print boot messages if you can [12:43] clathrate: instead of make install you could use checinstall to create a deb file [12:43] i have a problem for installing 9.10on a maxtor ? can someone know how ? [12:43] checkinstall [12:43] Hi, does someone know what to do if no player plays an audio-CD? [12:43] legend2440: what's the benefit of that? [12:43] blasted Debian Utils :( [12:43] Mka it comes up with something about mountall [12:44] Then it freezes [12:44] clathrate: it adds it to synaptic easier uninstall [12:44] ActionParsnip: does this upgrade cleans up broken packages to ?just to be safe before I get screwed in the process [12:44] pawl, pastebin any relevant boot messages so we can have a clue [12:45] legend2440: hmm I suppose that's true, I can uninstall packages but maybe there's no make uninstall from source [12:45] paulus68: you will need to have a squared up set of packages first [12:45] ActionParsnip: please explain [12:45] clathrate: well i usually delete the sources after i'm done compiling but up to you [12:45] ActionParsnip: what can i do to force the install on a HDD that it doesn't see ? === aPanDa is now known as apanda [12:46] Dicekid, tried using totem or rhythmbox ? [12:46] i have a udp based gameserver running on 8.04 minimal and it randomly disconnects everyone while the ssh connection to the server doesnt disconnect - any pointers? [12:46] legend2440: ah right, so make uninstall would work, but only if I keep the sources [12:46] clathrate: yes [12:47] elpigeondindo: not sure, check your bios detects it. you may need bootoptions for the livecd [12:47] mka Rhythmbox doesn't even see the audio-CD, tried amarok and kaffeine, too. They recognise CD but don't play it either. [12:47] paulus68: the upgrader wont act if you have missing or broken packages [12:47] I can't pastebin because I'm on my phone but I think its to do with the ubuntu trying to fsck on boot [12:48] ActionParsnip: bios is ok, gparted see my HDD, but in install i don't see it [12:48] Dicekid did you install ubuntu restricted extraś ? [12:48] ActionParsnip: ok at this point it gives me error message on the nfs common utilities how to get rid of that? [12:48] Dicekid, are you on KDE? [12:49] i am [12:49] any question ? [12:49] mka yes, I'm on KDE, but the people there meant that it's a more general problem, that's why I asked here... :-) [12:49] how do I connect to a wireless network using command line? [12:50] paulus68: can you pastebin the error as well as the command you ran. You should also try: sudo apt-get -f install [12:50] i don't have GUI installed [12:50] Quick question... I'm trying to instal proprietary drivers for my ATI All-in-Wonder 9800 pro for my ubuntu specific distro, but i'm getting some errors when building the package. any info? [12:50] what reasons could the apt system have to fail replacing a package. [12:50] Dicekid, have you ever played an audio cd before on your system? [12:50] Mka the problem is ubuntu trys to run an fsck on boot but it freezes up after it says those lines about codecs [12:51] iwconfig essid "blah" key s:passw doesn't give me any errors but the internet doesn't work after that [12:51] pawl, codecs? [12:51] mka under KDE, no. but when I had ubuntu on it, yes, and it worked. and windows still plays CDs... [12:51] pawl, can you boot on recovery mode? [12:51] anyone know the easiest way to format a usb stick to fat32? [12:51] piggy_: gksudo gparted [12:51] Co0Ps: essid setting can succeed without the connection working for some other reason. [12:52] thanks ActionParsnip [12:52] alankila: k. so how do I proceed? [12:52] Co0Ps: use network-manager. [12:52] Mka yeh I can boot into recovery [12:52] ActionParsnip: this is the pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m309f4e51 [12:52] alankila: i don't have GUI [12:52] hi guys trying to backup my mbr [12:52] Mka I haven't a clue how to recover it though [12:52] how do i tell where it's located [12:52] The color on all my videos is off. Like a negative, or similar. But on the icons in gnome, it's ok. Help? [12:52] i need to connect with command line [12:53] Well, I don't know how to set things up properly without it. I never figured out the wpa/wpa2 stuff and so on. When it was just wep I could still set the network with just iwconfig and dhclient. [12:53] it's just WEP [12:53] so not one person here had problems before with package replacement while upgrading or ..dist-upgrading? [12:53] i'm trying to go the long way to upgrade from breezy,hardy then intrepid, jaunty then karmic [12:53] Co0Ps: well, in that case you would start by examining with "iwconfig" command after setting essid whether it associated. It has an access point set if it did work. [12:53] It's like that with ALL videos. [12:53] alankila: it does [12:54] Is it possible to use a PC at home as a "proxy" connecting to it from a laptop by using ssh or something. I want to be able to use my PC as a link between Internet and my laptop. I also want the traffic to be secure, like ssh or something. [12:54] once access point is set, try to obtain ip address from it by running "dhclient ". [12:54] hi, just installed koala. i have two screen. I have nominated the larger of the 2 to be on the left, however the tools bars are still on the right. How can i get the tools bars on the left side? [12:54] alankila: i'm sending discovers with dhclient and doesn't get any response [12:54] n e one can help with proprietary drivers? [12:54] pawl, boot on recovery mode, and do a CTRL+D do procede to the normal runlevel [12:54] Co0Ps: well, at that point I no longer know... try to tcpdump the interface to see if there's any traffic on it at all other than your dhcp requests [12:54] OK, I think I figured it out - there's no _red_ showing on the videos. Any videos. What could make THAT happen? [12:54] alankila: iwconfig gives me the AP MAC address which I didn't set manually so I guess it's associated [12:54] I'm looking for a way to use mail, chat, Firefox etc at my laptop, always going through my PC at home. How do I do this? [12:55] #juegos [12:55] pawl, is your ubuntu system contained in one big partition or you have separate partitions that you have to mount? [12:55] Mka its in one big partition [12:55] I'm on tty1 [12:56] pawl, oh, [12:56] Real_Ubot: ssh is what you're looking for. however if you want gui then you'll have to do ssh w/vnc or something.. google and read up on ssh usage..

[12:58] axz: I'm not really sure if those are an issue.. I get them myself.. but my system works nicely [12:58] Co0Ps: i can make a pastebin if you wish? [12:58] i have to type the whole link :p [12:58] Slart, but PulseAudio is pain in the but in general as noticed [12:58] pawl, what happens when you do a CTRL+D, are you going to go to a gdm screen and be able to log in fine? [12:58] how do i update conky in ubuntu 8.04. My version now is 1.5.1. I added ppa from https://launchpad.net/~m-buck/+archive/conky, but the update is not working [12:58] yea, but please shorten the url [12:58] ActionParsnip: this is the pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m309f4e51 [12:59] ActionParsnip: the windoze server is somewhat in bad condition. most of its system cores are not running. i just want to copy files to an external hard drive. Windoze could no longer copy and paste the files. [12:59] No mka it just takes me to tty1 [12:59] * kevdog -- personal opinion -- Id stay as far away from pulseaudio as I could [12:59] axz: alsa is still there.. pulseaudio and alsa aren't alternatives.. pulseudio is a layer above alsa.. you can set stuff to use alsa instead of pulse.. it will still work [12:59] does ubuntu live cd support RAID? [12:59] Co0Ps: http://pastebin.com/m5f634ba1 [12:59] ActionParsnip, which section is my mbr on http://pastebin.com/m37de60cc [13:01] Real_Ubot: nxserver is the name of the program I couldn't think of -- Its really fast [13:01] ok, my mistake, this ppa didn't had packages for conky... [13:02] paulus68: let me search a bit [13:02] ActionParsnip: ok [13:02] mka Btw, when I copy the files from the audio-CD to the harddisk, they can be played without problems. But not directly from the audio-CD. [13:03] hi what is the best choice for netbook? netbook remix or xubuntu? [13:03] or can you have xubuntu netbook remix?

[13:17] i have a laptop here running Breezy.. trying to bring it to a newer version [13:18] jason_: waaaay easier [13:18] pawl, I really do not know [13:18] repos is old tho [13:18] I want the new one if at all possible [13:18] jason_: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [13:18] legend2440, yeah, just had to change the option for hidden and backup file.. [13:18] Boggie: do you have a seperate /home partition? [13:18] nope [13:18] not on a different filesystem [13:18] what is ppa?

[13:18] and i don't have vital data on this laptop [13:19] i already backed up [13:19] legend2440, but a PTAss [13:19] Gah! Now I am thinking of Ducktales! Launchpad...heh [13:19] Boggie: no vital data.. backed up already.. just fresh install the entire thing [13:19] jason_: it has thunderbird 3 last compiled yesterday [13:19] I don't have a cd burning utility on command line here [13:19] Boggie: install wodim [13:19] do people usually run subversin as root or as a normal system user?

I will try this out. I just wish I knew why I couldn't install this one [13:20] Boggie: got another machine? or use ActionParsnip 's link [13:20] legend2440, did full disk to disk copy [13:20] damn .. seems it's unable to do it [13:20] nope, no other machine [13:20] just this laptop [13:20] what should i apt-get to get GUI now? [13:20] gnome? [13:20] or kde ..whichever you prefer [13:20] Boggie: unetbootin and an iso and a usb stick [13:21] i want the default gui that comes with ubuntu [13:21] legend2440, month ago i upgraded to a new internal hd 320 gb and decided to use the previous external as a backup drive got a 10 case made is usb works like a charm [13:21] jason_: you can also use it to get alpha versions of firefox if you want too [13:21] I don't have a usb stick [13:21] Boggie, borrow from some1 [13:21] and this laptop is old.. i don't think it can boot from usb [13:21] legend2440, so i backed up everything with clonezilla and used in this morning... wanted to try to install triple OS with mac... but had issues [13:21] #ubuntu-cn [13:22] Co0Ps: what's installed now? server, cli only? then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:22] list [13:22] !install | Boggie [13:22] Boggie: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [13:22] i have a minimal install with basically nothing [13:22] eddym: why did you need to backup mbr? clonezilla does that [13:22] Why would I want an alpha version? It would just crash. I apologize if I am horribly ignorant [13:22] Co0Ps: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will get you a full system [13:22] kevdog: Ok, but do I really have to tunnel the GUI? Isn't it possible to just tunnel the trafik, not the complete graphics? I mena, instead of visitning a site directly, I want to use my PC at home as a lin to Internet, using it as a proxy server. So that no one will see the traffic between my laptop and my PC at home, while the site will recognize my ip address at home? [13:22] I'd look at that if i had a web browser. i can't install anything due to apt having alot of broken dependencies to work with. [13:23] hello [13:23] okay, ubuntu-desktop works [13:23] legend2440, just in case i mess with mbr some more.. and didnt want to use clonezilla did you user symantec ghost before? [13:23] i have a ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix [13:23] so what should I run after install? [13:23] X? [13:23] Co0Ps: you can also install lxde to get a slimmer OS [13:23] but made one stupid mistake [13:23] just try to install mac4lin [13:23] and faster [13:23] Boggie: you might have w3m installed as default [13:23] size of of the essence [13:23] is of* [13:23] after uninstall it [13:23] ah [13:23] the pidgin have changes his default icons [13:23] eddym: yes a long time ago but i really like clonezilla now [13:24] i don't care about looks, just want a minimal graphic gui that's as small as possible [13:24] is there way to complete restore all icons as they was [13:24] oh man .. if i could clean this... and finish the upgrade to hardy [13:24] gonna take forever to download on this connection :P [13:24] without to have reinstall the whole system [13:24] legend2440, same here i used it twice.. but didn't look at the options... [13:24] Co0Ps: then lxde will make a smaller system, you will need to install a DM too if you need graphical login [13:24] legend2440, of clonezilla [13:24] Is it possible to use a live cd to fix an installation? [13:24] eddym: you on karmic? [13:24] legend2440, did you mess around with mac os on pc? [13:24] Hi folks. I think I can fix a bug by myself with a little bit of orientation from someone smarter than me (my monitor is not properly recognized by X). Anyone wants to help me out? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/486072 [13:24] Like a system restore? [13:25] pawl: sure you can boot to it then chroot to the installed system to run commands [13:25] kevdog: When I use some kind of free proxy server, then I don't have to bother about X, will I? I only want to "forward" the traffic from my PC to my laptop over ssh. I will use Firefox at my laptop to visit the site. [13:25] eddym: no never tried mac [13:25] pawl: the commands will be executed on the installed system ratehr than the live cd [13:25] not cd, system [13:25] i can't even get wodim installed [13:25] Boggie: so no friends to help out with burning a cd.. no usb stick, no bowser for gui or cli, no seperate /home partiton.. man .. you're just stuck.. how did you manage to backup? [13:26] legend2440, wanted to add mac.. so that i can test it out... sometimes i have to support some corp.. and they have mac users.. so, it is a pain in the butt if you dont use mac and then need to jump on 1 [13:26] So is that a no? [13:26] legend2440, i guess i can try using vm [13:26] well i had nothing to lose so .. well backup was sending some files to the mobile phone [13:26] couple of text files [13:26] pawl: yes you can boot to a nonbootable system and change it to make it boot [13:27] Boggie: the install link from ubottu has a net install option I think [13:27] but still i need to burn a CD [13:27] ActionParsnip: i took wlan0 down and up again and now it just has an ESSID (iwconfig) but is not associated to an AP. i have tried iwconfig essid and iwconfig key to sett essid and key, but it doesn't get associated. how can i see status of association etc? [13:27] legend2440, is there a good prg like partition magic for ubuntu? [13:27] Boggie: not with a net install. [13:27] kevdog: Instead of visiting the site directly I want to go by my PC at home to avoid sniffing of the traffic over a public Internet connection. [13:27] eddym: i use gparted [13:27] want to debug this but have no idea how to proceed [13:27] Boggie: you can also request a free cd from cononical.. [13:27] some error messages and stuff could help [13:28] i won't be here long enough here for it to arrive [13:28] i'm on vacation [13:28] Co0Ps: iwconfig on its own. If you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see SSIDs? [13:28] Boggie: where are you at in the world? [13:28] and for net boot i'd need pppoe set up [13:28] legend2440, ill have to try it [13:28] Thanks actionparsnip I will brun a live cd and give it a go, is there a command to do a full restore or something? [13:28] Romania but i'm not in my home city now. i barely know anyone around.. [13:28] pawl: not that I know of, you can run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop [13:29] a particular usb storage device I attach is giving me filenames like "░╙╗▒0╞∞Ä.┤±î" [13:29] ActionParsnip: yes, i see the network as Cell 01 [13:29] with the correct ESSID [13:29] all others work. is there any kind of common problem this might be? i really dont think i can google for "░╙╗▒0╞∞Ä.┤±î" to find answers [13:29] Co0Ps: thats a good start [13:29] Boggie: do they have an internet cafe? or an electronics store that will help you out? If you have the iso on your machine and they pull it off with a usb stick and burn to a cd that you buy from them [13:30] none that are open. i already explored that option [13:30] everyone's gone for the holidays [13:30] Co0Ps: i think wicd has a cli interface, you could use that [13:30] ActionParsnip: ok, that would be perfect, brb [13:31] Boggie: introduce yourself to the next pretty girl you find sipping coffee and using a laptop [13:31] lol now that's asking too much [13:31] Co0Ps: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/VeryPluggableBackends [13:32] kevdog: Well, thank you anyway. I'll do some more google searches about ssh and forwarding. [13:32] Boggie: when there's a will.. there's a way.. if it's important enough you'll figure a way to do it. [13:32] hey all, All me video in ubuntu has a blue tint to it. Before I start reinstalling codecs aimlessly do anyone have any suggestions? [13:32] Co0Ps: wicd-curses is an interface [13:32] well i just need to get past an apt-get error [13:32] all my* [13:33] it was unable to replace the debianutils old package with a new one [13:33] NewfierRich: mplayer [13:33] NewfierRich: yes.. the program that's playing the video will probably have a properties section where you can adjust the color [13:33] Co0Ps: will give you a curses based network manager [13:33] ActionParsnip: i get an exception when i run wicd-curses [13:33] ok thanks usr13 and scunizi I will pick around the settings [13:33] with traceback [13:34] DBus.Error.Filenotfound Failed to connect to socket ... /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket [13:34] how do you run svnserv as another user e.g. subversion but not root? [13:34] (running it as root ofc) [13:34] NewfierRich: If you install mplayer, you will more than likely install more codecs. (mplayer is the swiss army knife for video) [13:35] vlc is that [13:35] urs13, thanks. I have i feeling it is something to do with the codecs because all my video programs is doing the same thing [13:35] MorphyNOR: vlc has it's own codecs that come with it. [13:35] NewfierRich: Which ones do you have? [13:35] Co0Ps: thats all i know [13:36] NewfierRich: tried vlc? [13:36] Hi, alsa doesn't work on my machine [13:36] and aplay-l reports no sound card found [13:36] but OSS works SOMETIME... [13:37] MorphyNor: yes VLC does the same thing [13:37] urs13: I wouldn't be able to till you what codecs I have. I know I have gstreamer but thats just off the top of my head [13:37] hi [13:37] can anyone help? [13:38] may anybody help me please?

[13:41] nero_: I don't know why your wireless stopped.. but it had nothing to do with audacity.. it was a coincidence [13:41] NewfierRich: do you have mplayer installed? If so, try the "-vo gl" option. [13:42] I just reinstalled it [13:42] it just stoped [13:42] nero_: iwconfig output? [13:42] but still blue [13:42] how do you do -vo gl?

[13:46] NewfierRich: You might also run your video player from terminal and watch for errors. [13:46] Real_Ubot: socks (ssh -D) [13:46] usr13: E: Couldn't find package w32codec [13:47] nero_: do you mean that iwconfig output say that you don't have wireless extention?

[15:09] 9.10 [15:09] Rollo: Sounds about right, tho, that the router would be the dns server [15:10] vduck: thers constant work lately on the intel drivers. If the live cd dosent work properly on them. You may want to check the forums for the exact chipset. There may be some PPA drivers that do work better. [15:10] vduck: lspci | grep VGA will tell you what card you have [15:10] i cant connet to the internet wirlesly [15:10] ethernet is fine [15:10] vduck: hm which thinkpad? [15:10] Rollo: and can you ping the router wirelessly>?

[15:13] Step by step by step by step [15:13] is there any way to change the color depth in ubuntu 9.10? [15:13] i followed all steps, but it is possible (error received) if i installed other libreries before the requeried? i installed the client libraries before, i had a mistake.. [15:14] sry i can ping my router fine and my other computer [15:14] can some one help me diagnose this? the monitor is just not there ... no one else on the forums seems to have similar problems (they complain of lag times) [15:15] srt i added http [15:15] To reitterate: Thinkpad SL510 laptop, the monitor will not display [15:16] vduck: I just log-in, what about Thinkpad SL510?

[15:18] ljamisonii: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [15:18] nomnex, just got it yesterday. I can run on an other monitor I had in my closet. [15:18] ljamisonii: what digital clock ? maybe it is configured to show utc time ? [15:18] ciao [15:19] vduck: on one friends laptop. for some reason - he dident get a laptop display untill he used the laptop 'monitor toggle' specuial keys. The ones that activate the external monitor, he hit that key a few times and suddendly his lcd turned on. Some how the laptop was using the external video by default. But he only had to do that once when he installed. I never did figure out why [15:19] this is weird: my torrent on transmission is 98.12% complete it's downloading from 0 of 6 peers and it's seeding. Why is it seeding if it hasn't completely finish downloading? [15:19] How do I revert my kernel. 2.6.33 was indeed a bad idea... [15:20] eltume: seeds completed parts === Omlet^away is now known as Omlet [15:20] i csn ping my router and i can download data realy slowy from other computers in my network [15:20] erUSUL: I'm running Xubuntu and it's the clock display for the system. I change the settings in the Time/Date Settings but it doesn't reflect the changes on the clock [15:20] how do i get it to download 100%, it's stuck at 98.12% [15:20] eltume: wait [15:21] bye [15:21] ljamisonii: hav3e you checked if it may be that is displaying UTC time? does it match with « date -u » ? [15:21] but the inter conections are so slow when i try to download a 300 kb page fro a comouter right next ot it it iw will just say toms photography and stop there [15:21] the images wont load [15:21] Dr_Willis, this came up before install - the live cd would do the splash, but as soon as it ran (even just to run the installer) the screen goes blank [15:22] press 'esc' [15:22] it should give you a men and pick graphic mode [15:22] <|user|> i have ubuntu on my lappy asus Eee900 ha [15:22] *menu [15:22] <|user|> and my wlan dont work [15:23] erUSUL: I have no idea how to check that...I only installed Xubuntu last night >_> === jean-claude_ is now known as malibu [15:23] Hey, everybody, which program should i use for newsgroups ?

[15:24] linux needs a better way of connecting to wlan. Most people find that ndiswrapper, etc too hard. [15:24] for downloading on live [15:24] Rollo: Just ask your question and someone will answer :| [15:24] Maletor: how did you installed the newer kernel ? [15:24] Dr_Willis, switching back and forth does nothing. Unbuntu knows the monitor's there - when I play with display it tries to set up dual monitor. It just doesn't succeed [15:25] grawity: llutz : Thnaks for that ;) Now is, which one am i going the chance to be my reader ;) [15:25] .deb file [15:25] eltume: if you have proper hardware, it should just work. [15:25] eltume: without ndiswrapper or any trickery [15:25] Maletor: then just uninstall it with synaptic [15:25] k [15:25] issaec: What's the point of downloading aMSN if you won't have an internet connection to use it? [15:25] i cant cannet to outsde networks in ubuntu, and connecting to internal networks goes at around 64 byes a sec [15:25] so it doesn't work with linux unfriendly hardware such as?

(It's stuck at 98.12% downloading? [15:29] thank you [15:30] erUSUL: Ah, I see it. That isn't "many", just one [15:30] eltume: maybe it is becouse nobody has the complete file. sometimes the seeders just disappear and everybody gets stuck [15:31] erUSUL: Sorry, i can't see your help 'cuz the connections was down [15:31] wow! [15:31] grawity: Thanks, i wanna see that [15:31] 98.12% I was sooo close! [15:31] anyone recommend some good linux podcasts?

[15:32] eltume: just wait maybe at some point of the day somebody connects that has the complete file [15:32] I foud it, sorry [15:33] ljamisonii: :/ then i dunno what may be happening... maybe you find more help in #xubuntu given that is a xfce clock [15:33] DjAngo23: I never downloaded anything from Usenet, so can't answer that...

[15:45] you need the internet connection [15:45] no [15:45] bash question, what does « 2>&1 » means? [15:45] isaias: its possible. But ive never done that. [15:45] or you just install basic packages...and reach WindowsXP level [15:45] isaias: You can install them from .deb without internet, yes. [15:46] isaias: But seriously, how the hell are you going to _use_ aMSN without a connection? [15:46] lol [15:46] isolat3dsh33p: it pipes the standard error and standard out to a location. I recall the 'advanced bash scripting guide" having some details on that [15:46] well [15:46] xchat somebody. Searching for a nick on the user list? [15:46] isolat3dsh33p: make both stdout and stderr go to the same file descriptor in this case 2 (stderr) [15:46] isolat3dsh33p: Copy file descriptor #2 (stderr) to #1 (stdout), causing all error messages to be printed to stdout. 'man bash'. [15:47] nomnex: its like alphabetical... why do you need to search it? [15:47] hmm TCP over smoke signals ... [15:47] isolat3dsh33p: redirect that to whatever is after [15:47] my internet connection is faster than the ciber connection, and download aMSN for each pc in the ciber is for killin' me [15:47] Dr_Willis, grawity, erUSUL: thanks [15:47] Dr_Willis: contact someone on the list [15:47] isaias: what's "ciber"? [15:47] grawity: internet cafe [15:48] yes, sorry for my eng [15:48] xD [15:48] isolat3dsh33p: you can set up a apt-cacheer server to cache all the packages so just one pc downloads/stores them [15:48] nomnex: you could use the nickcompletion feature of the tab key and the proper commands also... [15:48] isaias: i told you before. install in one pc and use aptoncd to move the packages to the other ones. that way you only download once [15:48] hey is there a linux mint UNR??? [15:48] Dr_Willis: command please. [15:48] !aptoncd | isaias [15:48] isaias: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [15:48] isolat3dsh33p: Usually, when you use it in "command 2>&1 > somefile", it's shorter to use "command >& somefile" instead. [15:48] sludge: Not that i know of. Go ask in Mint support [15:49] !mint | nomnex [15:49] nomnex: 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) [15:49] sludge: We do not support Linux Mint here, you should check their homepage and support channel.

[15:50] nomnex: the xchat homepage had some decent docs/tutorials at one time. [15:50] just curious.....those slimy inglorius mint basterds are always up to no good [15:50] /query would be better if you plan on sending more than one message [15:50] sludge: i dont see much point in Mint. so i havent bothered with it in ages [15:50] mmm THANKS A LOT [15:50] Dr_Willis: it has never had any tutorials [15:50] xD [15:50] obaid: not really... there are other ways of just creating pdfs.. but the rest is hard to do in linux [15:50] obaid: to create pdf's? many apps can export pdf natively those who can not can use the cups pdf printer [15:51] Khisanth: (from xchat?) /query. okay. [15:51] i want to run some win32 applications from a central location.. how can i do that? meaning, i don't want to run wine or any other emulation software.. [15:51] nomnex: /query nick [15:51] but i want to run it over a citrix like environment [15:51] http://xchat.org/docs/start/ [15:52] what would be a good app to open rar files fro ubuntu's repository? [15:52] zamba: then use a windows server and rdp client [15:52] !rar | CyL [15:52] CyL: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [15:52] zamba: there are clients for linux for most remote connection software [15:52] CyL: theres rar and unrar. [15:52] Khisanth: I gotta read some IRC tutorial commands. [15:52] hello...if i restart my computer my compiz cube skydome image goes away...but if i go to ccsm the path to the skydome is there , so i have to check and uncheck the skydome box to activate it.... the picture is a png and its located in my home directory... [15:52] grawity, the script i'm studying with use this « some_command >/dev/null 2>&1 » . I'm not sure what this means. Does it means every output from the command will be located in /dev/null as well as the errors? What's /dev/null for anyway? [15:52] zamba: there are at least two rdp clients aviable in th repos [15:53] nomnex: http://t0x.in/xchat.html [15:53] hello, i want to change the background use feh, and the command 'feh --bg-tile filename' worked at the terminal, but when i add it in the .xinitrc file, it does not work. why???? [15:53] erUSUL, Dr_Willis: thanks buddies [15:53] erUSUL: do you have any more details about that? what do i need on the windows server to get that working? [15:53] nomnex: http://t0x.in/xchat.html and http://xchatdata.net/ has a lot of xchat specific stuff [15:53] hey all....is there some way to copy/paste persons nick easily in Xchat? Pidgin seemed easier than this... [15:53] if i use aptoncd in my virtualbox where i installed cafe con leche app, just i can install in other pc and i will be right like my virtualbox (ubuntu)?? [15:53] isolat3dsh33p: /dev/null is black hole everything sent to it is lost in oblivion [15:53] isolat3dsh33p: The normal output (stdout) is redirected to /dev/null -- in other words, discarded. Everything you write to /dev/null disappears. [15:53] michaelwoo: because the normal gnome startup from gdm dosent uise .xinitrc I think .xinitrc is just used by one of the special sessions in the GDM sessions menu. [15:53] Several things, the first being the most urgent - Can anyone think why my root file system (ext3) would not have a UUID? (I've run blkid and it only gives one for my swap partition) [15:53] so you can easily talk back and forth...and they see your reply [15:53] zamba: that's a question for ##windows i guess [15:53] isolat3dsh33p: And then 2>&1 redirects stderr to stdout - so it too goes to /dev/null. [15:54] isolat3dsh33p: In other words, everything that the program outputs is discarded. [15:54] all: reading now. [15:54] michaelwoo: use the gnomd 'startup' entries to add taht commamd to be started by gnome is a better way [15:54] isolat3dsh33p: A shorter version of the same is 'some_command >& /dev/null' [15:54] hello...if i restart my computer my compiz cube skydome image goes away...but if i go to ccsm the path to the skydome is there , so i have to check and uncheck the skydome box to activate it.... the picture is a png and its located in my home directory...

I installed Ubuntu on my laptop just now. Older Dell Latitude d620 CoreDuo. Out of the box no Wifi and no nVidia driver. I checked in the "Hardware Drivers" app and no drivers are listed. My wireless card is a BCM4311 and my graphics card is a GeForce Go 7300/Quadro NVS 110M. Anyone know why the restricted drivers aren't listed in Hardware Drivers for these? Thanks. [16:06] Flamekebab, you can change the uuid of your clokc device: uuidgen; tune2fs /dev/hdaX -U numbergeneratedbyuuidgen [16:07] is there a way to resize the root partition with help of the live cd? [16:07] Hi! I installed 9.10 using usb image, on my xp machine and set it to import settings, i wanted to update bu it says there is no space, how do i uninstall that linux? [16:07] PrototypeX29A, is your root partition a LVM device ? [16:08] c3101: does that mean any partition with a number of 5 or more? [16:08] erUSUL: sorry I lost my connection (wireless). Do you say something? [16:08] i install python-dnspython and now what i do? [16:08] shakaran: no checking [16:08] PrototypeX29A, erm, no, it means "logical volume mangament", and by that i believe that your's isn't [16:09] AIIID: you mean installed Under windows with 'wubi' or did you boot from usb and install that way? [16:09] erUSUL: ok, Im wait [16:09] c3101: i don't know [16:09] Nevermind. Updated the system, rebooted, drivers are listed in "Hardware Drivers" applet. Thanks :) [16:09] AIIID, In Xp go to your disk manager and delete the linux partition. [16:09] boot from usb [16:09] shakaran: maybe just askl in #regex ? [16:09] ok, I will go there [16:09] c3101: i just want to resize /dev/sda1 [16:10] using ssh, how can i tell it to accept a NEW fingerprint for a known host? [16:10] c3101, do I need to run that as root? (when I didn't it gave an error stating it couldn't find a valid superblock, when I did it seemed to do what was asked) [16:10] PrototypeX29A, firstly, do you want to make it bigger or smaller ? [16:10] c3101: i want to make it bigger [16:10] Flamekebab, as root yes [16:10] PrototypeX29A: VIAGRA [16:11] PrototypeX29A, please supply the output of fdisk -l [16:12] c3101: hmm it looks like gparted thinks the change has been made [16:12] c3101: although it complained earlier, that it could not do the job [16:12] PrototypeX29A, well then , no problem [16:13] c3101, how can I be sure it has worked? blkid still reports nothing [16:13] i just installed ubuntu-desktop, and when i run it, all of my x-based apps are hogging cpu time [16:13] Flamekebab, sure that filesystem is healthy ? [16:13] running 10 or so apps, all at 25% cpu or higher [16:13] anyone know what's going on? [16:13] viking: open system monitor and have a look [16:13] or fire up a term and type top [16:13] viking: they are cpu intensive apps ? [16:14] !details | viking [16:14] viking: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [16:14] dtownhero: that's how i found out they were all using 25% cpu or higher :) [16:14] c3101: well i will reboot to see whether it fucked up my partition table [16:14] erUSUL: no [16:14] apps like pidgin, xchat, google-chrome, etc. all at 25% or higher and basically they're idling [16:14] PrototypeX29A, hope you had BACKUPS !! [16:14] you probably have something stuck in a loop somewhere or a misconfiguration somewhere [16:14] !ohmy | PrototypeX29A [16:14] PrototypeX29A: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [16:14] c3101: usually an errormessage while repartitioning scares me [16:14] logout and log back in [16:14] see if it still does it [16:14] no need to reboot :) [16:14] Pici: shouldn't say the f word hmm? [16:15] usb-creator-gtk (karmic): I have a bootable DVD using 3.4G and a USB stick with 3.8G available. Why does usb-creator-gtk say there's not enough space? How much space does it need?

[16:16] kjcole, use a desktop to creat a liveUSB [16:16] c3101, nope, although it works as I'm using it right now. How would I check and fix its health? [16:16] dtownhero: i doubt it will help. last time a similar thing happened and i restarted, no help [16:16] how much ram do you have? [16:16] just to prove i'm not lying: http://twitpic.com/vvxgn [16:17] you've got something misconfigured somewhere [16:17] wowoto: Are you saying that it's an issue of laptop vs. desktop? [16:17] whoa [16:17] i have plenty of memory [16:17] #1 why is your gnome-screensaver running? [16:17] hello I want a file manager.. better than Nautilus.. any ideas which one to choose? [16:17] Flamekebab, running fsck.ext3 on a mounted file system is _not_ recommended, but you can force it if you want to [16:17] can i get grub to boot from cd? [16:17] !who [16:17] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:17] gnome-screensaver isn't always #1. [16:17] c3101, should I run it from a maintenance shell? [16:17] they all jump around [16:18] yeah I'm sure they do [16:18] Flamekebab, preferbly [16:18] but you shouldn't have screensaver running while you're logged into X [16:18] PrototypeX29A yes there is a super grub you can boot [16:18] no? [16:18] hmm [16:18] how do i kill a user from root [16:18] you've got something messed up somewhere - start dumping dmesg logs and stuff [16:18] wowoto: (I'm not running from the bootable DVD. I have a fully installed system.) [16:19] kjcole, no, i mean ,most of the time we need a liveUSB o livecd to rescue our system ,so ,thers the desktop can work,and the DVD [16:19] kjcole, so [16:19] hello, i run ubuntu 8.04 and i want to install ubuntu 9.10 but, i cant burn cd's how can i install ubuntu 9.10?

First I must ask, which package is it that gives gnome in Karmic its distinctive look? I seem to have uninstalled it whilst removing components I didn't want and now Gnome looks rather blocky and old-fashioned [16:20] wowoto: Damn. Someone needs to add that sort of stuff to the documentation. I checked the size of the DVD and got the USB size based on that. Oh well. Thanks. [16:20] xander how did you install 8.04 ? [16:21] xander, you shouldn't need the CD... you can just upgrade over the internet [16:21] c3101, not an option, I'm using a Toshiba Portege 3490CT, it doesn't have a disc drive [16:21] do u know the best way to download films or wii games?

[16:36] AIIID: Almost all operating systems reserve some disk space as "swap" or "virtual memory", where it stores things when it runs out of memory.

[16:38] matu: chown works only on unix-fs [16:38] thank you but it worked using another distro [16:38] matu: it cannot [16:39] AIIID, then you could decrease the swap size to 4Gb, it's common to have a swap size of two times the amount of ram [16:39] ok [16:39] thank you grawity and llutz [16:39] matu: you have to use mount-options [16:39] I recieved a "remote assistance" request in my email (Invitation.msrcIncident) from a Win7 machine, and would like to use it from my ubuntu box. This is different from remote desktop, of course. How can I process that file in ubuntu? [16:39] thank you [16:39] bye [16:39] Dreamglider: "decrease"? He has ~800 MB swap. (Which is enough.) [16:39] anyone have a moment to help a complete noob with a simple networking problem? [16:39] hey all, i have an old(er) MSI board with 2 SATA ports on it, i can't seem to get linux to detect it (at least the linux rescue complains about not being able to see it) and i'm not 100% sure if the bios sees it but i'm also curious if the drivers were loaded which would mean that something else is wrong, can someone help me diagnose? not really sure where to begin... [16:39] !ask | jonaz_ [16:39] jonaz_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[16:41] what driver do i need ? [16:41] how can i copy files from my pc to remote pc when i'm logged in to it through shell? [16:41] nomnex: First you ask for a Windows LiveCD, then say "I will never run any windoze stuff" [16:41] AIIID, with 2 gb ram, 800 mb swap is plenty. i would leave it as is [16:41] mostapha: scp, sftp [16:41] grawity: thanks [16:41] jonaz_: connected to a router with dhcp? [16:41] nope [16:41] oh, well, yes [16:42] the router works fine and uses DHCP [16:42] kickar: I never herd of sis video, it don't plug and play? [16:42] should get an ip from there, theoretically [16:42] every time my eth0 or wlan0 goes up my personal preferences in /etc/resolv.conf are changed to whatever my router wants, not what i want [16:42] i need static dns server [16:42] s [16:42] jonaz_: try "sudo dhclient3 eth0" in a terminal [16:42] sacarlson, SiS 771/671 nope it doesnt plug and play [16:42] i am surely NOT WILLING TO screw with these settings whenever my router updates them [16:43] kosmic: edit dhclient.conf [16:43] looks like it's doing something [16:43] nomnex else http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ see section DOS Boot Disks [16:43] kosmic: You can add an entry in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to ensure that your nameservers get added.

[16:49] cable is just fine [16:49] llutz: tnks for the info :) [16:49] jonaz_: maybe you need a crossover cable ?

[16:51] tried all router ports and several cables. the router is currently working with 2 other devices perfectly. it seems there is some reason ubuntu or my bios is not recognizing the physical device. [16:51] erUSUL: jonaz_ checked with different cable from working other device, still no Link [16:52] I'm using an MSI Wind U123, if that's of any assistance [16:52] erUSUL: llutz: I guess if the lights on the ethernet come on they are good to go? [16:53] sacarlson: then ethtool should report link=yes too [16:53] guys, where do i found different sounds in ubuntu? [16:53] freeride: /usr/share/sounds/ ? [16:53] llutz: if the dhcp server is up I guess yes. [16:53] jonaz_: but check it, does the LED shine when you plugin a cable? [16:53] btw, the light on the router for the connected port comes on when i plug the cable in, so the router recognizes some kind of connection [16:53] there is no LED on the computer [16:54] erUSUL thanks! [16:54] sacarlson: ethtool works on physical connection, nothing to do with dhcp or whatever [16:54] llutz: you can try static ip setup and ping and see if that works [16:54] sacarlson: you can, but it won't work [16:54] llutz: I use wireshark [16:55] sacarlson: what are you trying? throwing buzzwords into the channel for what? what should wireshark help without connection? [16:55] llutz: why not you tried already? [16:55] I may have done something stupid recently and removed some necessary package [16:55] tried to do some housekeeping [16:55] hey guys, in my phpinfo it reads that my PEAR JSON extension is intalled and Enabled, yet I am having issues. [16:55] jonaz_: if your device is present and up, eth-driver works. [16:55] llutz: if you ping even without a conection you should see trafic with wireshark [16:55] anything extra i need to do that might just be Ubuntu related? [16:55] sacarlson: which helps 0 [16:55] 1 [16:56] help [16:56] can somone tell me which release came after hardY? [16:56] Yggdrasil: Intrepid [16:56] Yggdrasil .... long time ago.... scnr [16:56] llutz: you should also see dhcp transactions from the client and from the dhcp server [16:56] so, if my laptop is being recognized by the router, that means eth driver is working properly? [16:56] sacarlson: scroll back, you'll see his dhcp-request [16:56] pici thanks [16:56] hi , i wanna use PHP and MYSQL on Ubuntu ! [16:57] even if my laptop won't recognize the link?

[17:08] can I assume that large file support is enabled in a default samba install on Karmic?

[17:10] What does it mean when the AppArmor wizard wants to create a rule for ^null?

[17:11] L3dPlatedLinux the 5200 was a classic card, rock solid [17:11] hi [17:11] slow by modern standards though [17:11] General question: I have s server that is connected to the net via a cellular modem. Due to poor connectivity I find that I have to reset the modem occasionally I have a watchdog script I run in cron which pings google, if 100% packet loss I restart the modem and then restart networking using /etc/init.d/network restart. I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to restart networking, somthing cleaner perhaps? [17:11] when i trying to use mencoder i take this shell error : file name is too long too much parameters there. What can i do for it [17:11] can anyone help me to set the wifi on a HP dv6000 ? I can't switch-on the wlan card [17:11] zanberdo: cleaner than that? no [17:11] scorpid, provide comment line. [17:12] any samba pros around? how can I tell if large file support is enabled? [17:12] KaiForce, true [17:12] i have created dsl connection and entered username and password and when i try to connect, it gets disconnected after a while. [17:12] i am using ubuntu 9.10 [17:12] ultimate 2.5 [17:12] KaiForce: smbd -b | grep -i largefile [17:13] erUSUL, yeah, I figured /etc/init.d/networking restart was the correct approach. I guess I'm wondering if my general approach is sound. That is, once I restart the modem, should I necessarily have to restart networking or mightn't it start on it's own.

[17:13] hola [17:14] quick question: anyone know how to check if I have 64-bit or 32-bit architecture and whether I am running the appropriate version? [17:14] so no ideas on how to get ubuntu to recognize the other 4 gigs on my mp3 player? [17:14] ??? [17:14] jonaz_: uname -m [17:14] thanks [17:14] jonaz_: uname -a for running system [17:14] does i686 mean 32 bit? [17:14] LinuxRox_: they both give the same. [17:14] er. [17:14] llutz: ^ [17:14] jonaz_: yes [17:14] cool [17:15] that won't tell him the architecture, only which version he has installed [17:15] scorpid, do you have to use commandline not a GUI application like avidemux? [17:15] scorpid: what is this ?? ---> ...44100\t-lavcopts ??? [17:15] jonaz_, should have 'x86_64' in output if you are running 64-bit [17:15] scorpid: seems a spce is needed there and probably drop the \t [17:15] bcool, maybe there are ideas [17:15] i think he wants to verify whether or not he has 64bit platform [17:15] is Intel Atom a 64-bit processor? [17:16] scorpid, erUSUL beat me to the punch. I was going to ask why the \t... [17:16] jonaz_: grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo [17:16] jonaz_: I think there are both 32 and 64 bit atom procs [17:16] jonaz_: if you see a red lm your cpu can do 64 bits [17:16] Okay so I have just set up ubuntu (used the server version since I use openbox and other lightweight apps) anyway I need some help getting some sound out of my soundcard. I've installed alsa (sudo apt-get alsa) and tweaked alsamixer so it should work, but of course it doesn't. Here's some random output that might be useful: http://pastebin.ca/1731983 as you can see alsamixer output looks a bit weird, like there's stuff missing but I don't [17:16] hi [17:16] bcool, hi Pulga [17:17] jonaz_: Atom 200 or 300 looks like 64 bit, otherwise no [17:17] gotcha. thanks guys [17:17] bcool, so what exactly is your problem? [17:17] I mounted a creative zen MP3 player [17:17] the mp3 player is 8 gigs [17:17] kj nblhhj [17:17] bcool: model? [17:17] ubuntu is only showing 4 [17:18] I dunno model [17:18] spuck: you have two soundcards (onboard and a xonar) maybe the system is using the wrong one [17:18] hello [17:19] how do you know it is 8? [17:19] jonaz_, KaiForce is correct, there are 32-bit and 64-bit atoms. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors for more details.

[17:30] jonaz_: nvm then install wicd.

[17:32] kickar: use cairo dock it has a non-openGL version too. [17:32] jonaz_, Sorry, the only reason why I ask is it you can have guest access. [17:32] is there something like fspot to manage my movies ? === rj_ is now known as cuchulainq [17:32] Hello. Having soms trouble with automatic network-detection under Karmic. Any experts here? [17:32] bcool, it's 4.1GB used and 3.6GB free that adds up to 7.7GB which is 8GB if you calculate accurately [17:33] hi folks! i'm trying to print a pdf (2 pages) but the process has been taking FIFTEEN minutes so far, and it has printed just a quarter of page! it's ridiculously slow! can anybody help me? (ubuntu 9.10) [17:33] I think you got GB and MB confused mka [17:33] llutz: so, now that wicd is installed, the icon for networkmanager doesn't do anything... how do i get a gui interface for wicd? [17:33] bcool, Sooorrry!! [17:33] bcool, yeah, I messed up [17:33] I've confirmed I have most of the entire 8 gigs free [17:33] jonaz_: Applications > Internet > WICD [17:34] jonaz have you tried # wicd-client -n ? [17:34] luisgmarine: right.. [17:35] jonaz_: is it there? [17:35] bcool, it shows your filesystem format as gphoto2 ??? whatever that is, can you see this drive being mounted if you type "df -h" ? [17:35] Il__Matteo usb or parallel printer ? [17:35] luisgmarine: yeah, it's there. trying to connect to the network now and it seems it was unable to get an address from DHCP [17:36] mka: gphoto2 is a lib to mount special filesystem for cameras (the ones that does not appear as usb storege) [17:36] can someone tell me why my ubuntu logon sound is distorted in 9.10? [17:36] OerHeks, usb, thanks god [17:36] jonaz_: assing it a static IP [17:36] I don't see anything that looks like my mp3 player [17:36] Il__Matteo usb 1 or usb2 ? [17:36] Hello! Okay, so I have just set up ubuntu (used the server version since I use openbox and other lightweight apps) anyway I need some help getting some sound out of my soundcard. I've only installed alsa (sudo apt-get alsa) and tweaked alsamixer so it should work, but of course it doesn't. Here's some random output that might be useful: http://pastebin.ca/1731983 as you can see alsamixer output looks a bit weird, like there's stuff missin [17:36] luisgmarine: how do i do that? [17:36] jonaz_: but the program there is that you would need the routers IP [17:36] erUSUL, then how to mount that as a file storage? [17:37] at least you get a logon sound i don't [17:37] Tesssa: sorry to hear that [17:37] I've had so many error with 9.10 that I [17:37] OerHeks, i don't know. anyway, 1,5 megabyte should be transferred in a little time even on USB 1 [17:37] m reverting back to 8.04. [17:37] Il__Matteo maybe entering printer settings and select 'draft' wil reduce data [17:37] luisgmarine: so, if I manage to find the router's IP, I just try with a static IP that DCHP would have assigned (like, 10.10.1.X?) [17:37] See if that solves soms problems [17:37] OerHeks, thanks, but i don't need draft. i need high quality. [17:38] jonaz_: when you open up WICD and hit configure for your wireless device there should be an option to set up a static ip [17:38] luisgmarine: found it [17:38] jonaz_: I would assume so, for me all I did was 192.168.1.16, of couse 192.168.1.1 is my routers IP [17:38] can someone tell me why my ubuntu logon sound is distorted in 9.10? [17:38] udpgraded from 9.4 to 9.10 and lost the loin and log out and other sounds [17:38] OerHeks, and the document is not that big, as you read [17:38] luisgmarine: will give it a shot [17:38] bcool, have you ever accessed your files in your device by nautilus? [17:38] jonaz_: sweet let me knwo how it goes [17:39] I'm looking for a really easy to use and set up file sharing package to share files between a suse laptop and an ubuntu laptop. Any suggestions? [17:39] no [17:39] Il__Matteo yes, i see, i think you just have to go on, can't speed it up [17:39] Hi there, first time using irc and for some reason I can't register my nick, error: my email is not a valid address, any help it is much appreciated [17:39] Tesssa: I have many problems with sound too under 9.10. Dont know the answer though.. [17:39] My mouse cursor has stopped responding, however the keyboard is working fine. There are no xorg errors, and hal is running. The problem appears about 15 min after the system has been powered on. Rebooting fixes the problem temporarily. Is there a known solution for this problem? [17:39] i don't as well [17:40] my sound card works ok [17:40] hello [17:40] luisgmarine: sure thing. thanks for the help [17:40] OerHeks, that's ridiculous! please admit that 20 minutes for 2 pages of pdf is somehting like working on a 486 4 mb ram! ;) [17:40] how can I restore grub 1.97? or acticate it when windows 7 boot loader first is active? [17:40] how do you talk for real [17:40] I was planning on using 9.10. But I am encountering so many errors and bugs en kerneloopses that I think I will be using 8.04 now instead [17:41] jonaz_: did it work? [17:41] Il__Matteo maybe cups settings > localhost:631 [17:41] how do you talk for real [17:41] 9.4 works great [17:41] how do you talk for real [17:41] abi_: be a little more verbose in what you mean.. dont just repeate over and over [17:41] luisgmarine: not yet. have to boot into windows to get the info. just tried a manual dhclient3, to no avail. gonna try the static thing now [17:41] abi_: voice? try skype [17:42] ok [17:42] !grub2 | mostafa_ [17:42] mostafa_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

Here's some random output that might be useful: http://pastebin.ca/1731983 as you can see alsamixer output looks a bit weird, like there's stuff missing but [17:47] OerHeks, the whole system slows down a lot during the print process [17:47] what do you mean [17:47] abi_: loads of friends in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:47] !who | abi_ [17:47] abi_: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[17:53] Is there a program where you define a keystroke for an app, say firefox, and then when you press that keystroke it switches to firefox if it's running otherwise launches it? [17:54] jonaz_: did you put the correct gateway and all that stuff? [17:54] wonder if anyone can help, used 2 have Windows and Ubuntu as dual boot, then removed Windows made it ext3 and threw stuff there, but now i wanna replace ubuntu with opensuse, it this possible leaving spare partition in tact? [17:54] * _grawity sighs. [17:54] luisgmarine: yeah, even added correct DNS servers [17:54] scottj: you could probably do something with the compiz shortcuts and some black magic voodoo bash scripting [17:54] how is everyone [17:55] jonaz_: what was the netmast? [17:55] AUGH [17:55] scottj: when it comes to firefox I don't think you need the black magic stuff.. I think it has that "show existing window or start a new one" functionality built-in [17:55] subnet is 255.255.255.0 [17:55] abi_: this isn't a social channel... try typing this... /join #ubuntu-offtopic === _grawity is now known as grawity [17:55] abi_: that channel is for all kinds of chat [17:56] scottj, you could use the script at the bottom of this page for gnome or whatever - http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_shortcuts#Minimalistic_Application_Usage [17:56] ok [17:56] jonaz_: Try with these settings: Address 192.168.25.180, netmask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.25.7, DNS Servers 192.168.25.7 [17:56] ctmrj: trying to validate, let me see if I can make it, [17:56] jonaz_: chances are that if this is a mass public internet connection, the static IP's that you are trying to use have already been assigned out to computers [17:57] ViaNocturn85: ask in in #suse channel [17:57] jonaz_: keep trying different IP's [17:57] luisgmarine: yeah, no dice with that IP either... thanks though [17:57] hi [17:57] jonaz_: bbl have to pick someone up from the airport [17:58] luisgmarine: well, I've been trying IPs left and right. I think they have it set up so that DHCP is god: no DHCP, no soup for you === mikefnode is now known as mikemike [17:58] luisgmarine: yeah, go do your thing. super grateful for the help, man [17:58] ctmjr: no offense but i been a longtime Ubuntu user, and this should be easy for ubuntu as same rules apply but since im going elsewhere you cant help? [17:58] Hi, How to set the blue sound input for speakers? in windows it would just be in the audio setting but i can't find how to do it in ubuntu [17:59] jonaz_: what is it you are atempting to connect? an adsl? wifi? [17:59] simple no one is there [17:59] Everyone: Has anyone ever heard of a wireless network with a DHCP server that gives IPs to Windows machines and won't give them to Unix machines? Any idea what could be going on here? [18:00] sacarlson: it's an unencrypted wireless network [18:00] jonaz_: oh ok do you have the correct key? [18:00] jonas: as far as i know, the DHCP server shouldnt even bother with knowing if its Unix or Windows [18:00] sacarlson: so far, i've tried installing wicd, tried connecting to dhcp from the terminal, all to no avail. no key necessary as it's an open network. [18:00] OerHeks, 4 pictures, but the spooling file size is 1600 k. anyway, i'm not such a noob, i know pictures are heavier to process, and i know draft reduces printout time. nonetheless, i used to print 220 pages of high quality pdfs with the same pc and printer on windows xp and it didn't take sych a long time. sorry for the delay, but i'm stuck in this problem [18:01] jonaz_: vianocturn85 true but if the encryption is wrong you won't get a responce from the dhcp server [18:01] ViaNocturn85: no offense taken but most people here do not know if suse's installer lets you choose what partition to install to it has nothing to do with ubuntu keeping the partition after you remove it (ubuntu) [18:02] jonaz_: is the network active? any other trafic on it? [18:02] sacarlson: correct key? on unencrypted network? stop whatever you're smoking please [18:02] ViaNocturn85: that seems to be the way DHCP works, so it makes no sense to me why I should be successful in connecting to a network on WinXP and not get an IP on Ubuntu. Signal strength is strong (60%) and yet something is going wrong here. This totally baffles me [18:03] ctmjr: then I apologise, I should have thought about that, spose if your used to Ubuntu and nothing else you think Ubuntu is Linux, instead of a branch of Linux [18:03] jonaz_: tried manually with iwconfig? [18:03] llutz: jonaz: yes we got that fact so he says it's not encrypted [18:03] have you checked the logs? [18:03] ANyone here?

I have a simple ADSL modem. When I try tot manually start the network, it sometimes works. But mostly it just fails. Ubuntu keeps looking for a network but can't find it. The same problem occurs when I boot up and the network is activated and I manually stop teh network and try to activate it again. Mostly it will not recognize the network [18:18] although since you can't figure out how to do these basic things or read documentation, i'm not sure how well you're going to be able to use aircrack to stress test your own personal wireless networks. [18:18] jonaz_: but you already stopped wicd? [18:19] guys, is it possible for me to share file with window users on a windows network? [18:19] Guest83771: I see aircrack-ng on my ubuntu 8.04 in synaptic [18:19] yeah, I stopped wicd to do the stuff we were doing. when I reopen it, works fine for connecting to wired networks and detecting wireless networks [18:19] jonaz_: odd, but btw: your wired lan works now? [18:19] I am also able to connect to other wireless networks, in other places, just not this one here [18:20] anyone know how to create a torrent using transmission client? [18:20] isolat3dsh33p: Yes, you use samba for that. [18:20] llutz: well, I followed the instructions on the forums for the wired network that you gave me (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448) and those worked just fine. [18:21] jonaz_: fine so far, but i wonder why you cannot connect that open-wlan.... [18:21] kenpark: how? [18:22] llutz: it completely and absolutely baffles me. could there be some strange proprietary windows something or another (upnp or something) that allows windows to interface with this router and that ubuntu just doesn't have? [18:22] can anyone recommend a good ssh server software as well as a good vnc server software? I'm running ubuntu server 9.10 on a low-resources machine. [18:22] Can anyone with experience setting up multiple monitors on a nVidia GeForce 8400 GS give me a hand?

[18:23] llutz: well, i guess that's what dual-boot is good for... I'm just trying to fully migrate to Ubuntu and this kind of stuff scares me a bit [18:23] Ubuntu 9.1 [18:23] isolat3dsh33p: Its a little bit of a longer process - mind if I refer you to the wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba or http://www.watchingthenet.com/enable-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-using-samba.html and maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89hjWOb8qmY&annotation_id=annotation_888326&feature=iv [18:23] llutz: jonaz_: only problem I have seen is with broadcom wifi devices but only when used with encrypted wifi nets [18:23] so does anyone have experience writing start up scripts for ubuntu [18:23] jonaz_: dual boot is pointless, you always will have booted the wrong system for the stuff you want to do _now_ [18:23] kenpark: that's good enough.

[18:25] invisime, yes i have. I have it set up and i'm looking at it right now. [18:25] meowsus: what seems to be going wrong? [18:25] invisime, i have 3 monitors and i'm not sure what i should do to handle them all. It seems i can bind 2 of them, but have to open another instance of X to run in the third monitor. [18:26] i need help but in spanish please ..... [18:26] I can't download from the archives [18:26] invisime, i just want to know if i'm missing something. Ideally i'd like to have the 3 monitors running in the same instance of X [18:26] meowsus: ah. I don't have any experience with three. two's the most I've done.

[18:27] llutz: the stuff I want to do now (and always) is connect to a wireless network and live happily on the cloud. if I can't do that, the rest of it is not that useful to me... anyway, I suppose I should just give up on trying to make sense of this [18:27] The recurring error was Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2) [18:27] Poison-Ivy-Troya: type /join #ubuntu-es [18:27] meowsus: sounds like you're better qualified to handle this than I am then. sorry. :-/ [18:27] ok [18:27] I cannot seem to get videos to play inside Firefox.

[18:27] thanks very much [18:27] haha [18:28] invisime, tell me this. Did you use Xinerama or Twin View? Or did you set up dual instances of X server? === Poison-Ivy-Troya is now known as Diego[-_-] [18:28]  jonaz_: llutz: last resort you can try use windows drivers with ndiswrapper [18:28] meowsus, like invisime said, i only have tried two, but I used twinview. dont know if that helps.

I'm running ubuntu server 9.10 on a low-resources machine. [18:31] invisime: is openssh(d) too resource intensive? [18:31] invisime: Whats wrong with OpenSsh? [18:31] jonaz_, which version are you running? new installation? what is your wifi chipset? [18:32] I guess that's two votes for openssh. [18:32] sal_: running latest stable distro, checking chipset now... [18:32] Has anyone had experience with Ubuntu 9.1 and setting up 3 monitors? [18:32] meowsus: do you about torrents [18:32] Wifi chipset is RTL8187SE [18:33] BitEncrypt, yes? [18:33] see, that's why I asked here instead of the google or the wikipedia. either of those would've given me too many options. thanks, deww and kenpark. [18:33] where would i find my torrents that im seeding [18:34] would they be on any website [18:35] BitEncrypt, do you mean your torrent file? or the folder you are sharing? [18:35] sharing === fen[saal1] is now known as fengor [18:36] BitEncrypt, you already used the Bit Torrent client to create your torrent file and have uploaded it to the tracker? [18:37] 1. Make/make install aren't working for aircrack-ng and several other programs. 2) The updates have "Failed" several so I can't install aircrack thru synaptic either.

[18:40] Guest83771: try randomly select another [18:40] BitEncrypt, Okay, so typically you would log into your tracker using your openbittorrent account info, and you should be able to click an "upload torrent" link or something [18:41] ahhh ok [18:41] BitEncrypt, it will ask you to locate the .torrent file on your computer, and so you do, uploading it to the server. [18:41] hello, how is the usage of apt-get --download-only? [18:41] I'm trying to only download packages [18:41] sweet THX [18:41] BitEncrypt, as soon as it's uploaded, the page will give you a link to your newly uploaded torrent file, you click that link, open it in Transmission and then it will ask you where you want to "Save" the files to [18:41] Okay [18:42] I pasted it [18:42] Guest83771: I have installed aircrack-ng before I think I compiled it to get the new one [18:42] BitEncrypt, At that point, you just tell Transmission to "Save" the torrent's contents to the folder you're trying to upload. Transmission will check the files and begin seeding. [18:42] What command line tool can I use to get the HTTP status code from a server (and nothing else)? [18:42] Mike_lifeguard: wget? [18:42] Mike_lifeguard, telnet [18:43] That was the first problem; my make/make install were giving errors too [18:43] know of any good trackers [18:43] telnet ubuntu.com 80 [18:43] PulseAudio 9.10 audigy 2 success.

If you're having problems with the first step, please post a pastebin with the entire error. Again, I have no idea how you're going to use aircrack for penetration testing of your own personal wireless environment and you can't figure out something as simple as adding repositories and installing software. [18:48] setting up xchat sux [18:48] olskolirc, [18:48] xD [18:48] I did that already. I added repositories. I just changed the server and posted the error message [18:48] when I write a USB Disk an Image with Unetbootin it gets password protected how can I solve that?

How can I do that? [18:52] ubuntuuser: http://www.google.com/chrome/ [18:53] I finally got openSUSE and Ubuntu installed on the same machine, apparently the secret to get a proper GRUB is to install *buntu last [18:53] JoeSomebody: yes most the problems I've had with samba was security that I disabled [18:53] JoeSomebody, what was your exact problem, maybe we can give you some ideas for your next ubuntu test. [18:53] Hmm.. ive never had any issues mounting NTFS filesystems JoeSomebody - good luck I guess.. [18:53] i even tried samba channel, for an hour they tried, said my config is ok [18:53] leftyfb:thanks :-D [18:53] but it cant be ok huh [18:53] oh well :) [18:53] * Dr_Willis hasent heard the whole of the problem.. most likely..

[19:01] dont split hairs [19:02] hmm frizzies [19:02] Go-er: It might be the same. But still, it has been modified by Mint developers - and only they know all the modifications. [19:02] sal_: Can I pm you? [19:02] jun: You installed os-prober? [19:02] I love WINDOWS AND MAC [19:02] is anyone else finding the netbook remix interface to be slow? [19:02] i thought ubuntu was better in most ways, except for file browsing, nautilus needs more features [19:02] csmith1994, check for bcmwl-kernel-source in synaptic [19:02] kenpark, it was installed, i tried it, then update-grub, still the same problem [19:03] is there an benefit to installing ubuntu remix on a netbook that has a 10.1" screen and 160gb harddrive and access to an external cd drive--rather than just the normal ubuntu? [19:03] not update the GRUB!!!!! [19:03] perhaps the ubuntu netbook remix is not compatible with all netbooks [19:03] THE UPDATING TAKES SOME PROBLEMS [19:03] !troll | nasser [19:03] nasser: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [19:03] ok, same problem exists in my UBUNTU LIVE DISC> dOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PLS? [19:03] sal_: im not currently in my ubuntu environment. Im in windows 7 because I have no other alternate connection [19:03] nasser, i kinda agree with you here... mine is a new install though [19:03] when I run kubuntu in live session I can start the wireless card intalling proprietary drivers. I installed kubuntu with wubi and now I can't see that driver in the Hardware Drivers ( I can't see also nvidia drivers ) [19:03] Sorry cpas lock key hit by mistake [19:04] JoeSomebody: nautilus already had the kitchen sink in it what more you want? [19:04] froglet i said a reason 'to' use remix, not another reason not to :p [19:04] ubuntu is compatible with all sort of netbooks [19:04] hey [19:04] sal_: if I had an alternate connection I'd just go to terminal and run sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [19:04] i have dualboot windows vista - ubuntu [19:04] Having som trouble with flashinstalling : Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'flashplugin-installer' [19:04] Here's my sources list: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mba31213 [19:04] fidin: I do not think so, it is for smaller screens [19:04] i also have another pc, a windows xp, that is connected to a printer [19:04] sacarlson everything it has now plus everything windows explorer has [19:04] and automatically install the firmware [19:05] running this md5sum, i get mostly the same value, but sometimes it is different - what does it suggest [19:05] wget http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/x/xulrunner/xulrunner-1.9_1.9.0.16-1_amd64.deb -q -O- | md5sum [19:05] but I find it very slow compared to not having it [19:05] csmith1994, you said fwcutter is already installed .. ?? [19:05] omg! windows vista is the worst os I've ever tried [19:05] JoeSomebody: I thought your issue was with file sharing? [19:05] JoeSomebody: got it [19:05] omg [19:05] how can I open Pmagic.iso with usb-creator and then write it into the USB Disk? [19:05] I have an HP 2133 and maybe it does not like it [19:05] when i try printing from ubuntu with the printer that's connected to my XP, i get all kinds of weird characters [19:05] froglet what about remix is for smaller screens? does it prevent windows from going outside the window? i heard it doesnt [19:05] froglet hp works [19:05] i have an eeepc btw [19:05] sal_: it is but if I automatically install it it downloads the driver according to the page you linked me to earlier [19:05] jun: So uhm what does update-grub say? [19:05] i've a sony vaio [19:06] JoeSomebody: MS Windows is a wonderful and very powerful operating system and you seem to be much happier with it, (Linux is not for everyone). [19:06] usr13 it is, i was just saying i enjoyed ubuntu , way more than windows (except for explorer) , but i need sharing to be ROCK SOLID DEPENDABLE [19:06] how can I open Pmagic.iso with usb-creator and then write it into the USB Disk? [19:06] fidin: that is difficult for me to answer since I have limited experience with it, I think I will remove it and keep original Ubuntu setup [19:06] mostafa_: usb-crator is not made for Pmagic.iso (i'm guessing partition magic) [19:06] klown, looking now... [19:06] Guest83771: your installs aren't working because you're mixing really old repositories (dapper) with the newest repositories (karmic) [19:06] i wil try again one day, i didnt erase it [19:06] mostafa_: just use a LiveCD - it has gparted on it already [19:06] strange characters example: '$>@T[clover]>@[strange line][strange line]>>@ [19:06] JoeSomebody: samba is already in nautilus [19:07] nasser, you just figuring that out now? [19:07] kenpark: generating grub.cfg, then 3 lines with linux/initrd/windows 7, then "done" [19:07] klown, seems more geared towards laptops [19:07] where the things between brackets is an explanation of how it looks like [19:07] I just love windows-people coming in here to mouth off at how bad "linux" is... [19:07] Guest83771: you'll have much better luck if you backup your data and cleanly install karmic [19:07] mostafa_: where did you get this Pmagic.iso? [19:07] csmith1994, is your wifi STA? [19:07] anyone knows? [19:07] JoeSomebody: just right click on the directory you want to share [19:07] komputes: no it is Pmagic [19:07] mostafa_: link [19:08] sacarlson everything works fine and is configured correectly (i had help) the shared JUST STOP for unknown reasons [19:08] Gieke: try using (or not using) a postscript driver [19:08] JoeSomebody u having issues sharing under ubuntu? [19:08] LINUX THE WORST OS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [19:08] I'M SICK OF IT [19:08] sal_, I don't know when I do lspci it says Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g Network adapter [19:08] nasser: why would you say that? [19:08] nasser: don't give up! [19:08] nasser: If you have nothing to contribute here then you can leave.

[19:08] you were just yelling at come guy for doing it [19:08] Having som trouble installing flash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349198/ [19:08] csmith1994, with that chip, i think you need to use the bcmwl-kernel-source, not fwcutter [19:09] komputes: http://partedmagic.com/change-log/139-parted-magic-50-not-released-yet.html [19:09] JoeSomebody: mabe the sever stoped? restart it #/etc/init.d/samba restart [19:09] sal_, could you tell me how to do that [19:09] sludge my question is, is unr worth installing if you have a 10.1" screen and 160gb harddrive on your netbook which can more than accomidate the normal ubuntu? [19:09] sal_: did they fix BCM4312 yet? [19:09] and are there any downsides to netbook remix [19:09] ntmk [19:09] fidin, it depends on how much ram you have thats why netbook remix was made up [19:09] i know it sotpped i just dont know why, and the #samba guys dont know either [19:09] still only patial i think [19:09] JoeSomebody, so it must be the OS's fault? Not some setup error on your part or your network? [19:09] *partial [19:09] nasser: join a channel that wishes to discuss which operating system is the best. This channel is supposed to be about Ubuntu. [19:10] mostafa_: it's a linux cd, should just work, whats the issue? you have never used usb-creator? [19:10] sal_: last I checked there were some issues with that chip [19:10] * Dr_Willis points out that with Upstart one should use 'sudo service samba restart' or Similer command. [19:10] ryann, how i do that? [19:10] netbook remix was formulated for computers with lower specs [19:10] Lungan: try sudo apt-get install -f --reinstall flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree [19:10] MorphyNOR, i think you're right. only partially supported [19:10] sal_: is ndiswrapper still around? [19:10] M30W, I also seen this, dont know if the extended xorg file will give you any ideas http://froebe.net/blog/2009/05/11/getting-three-monitors-to-work-with-kubuntu-ubuntu-with-kde-on-a-dell-optiplex-gx520-nvidia-geforce4-mx-4000-low-profile-video-card-and-the-onboard-intel-82945ggz-video-card/ [19:10] JoeSomebody: after a reboot? or after long run? [19:10] sludge if i thought it was the os fault, why woudl i say i am going to try again? :) [19:10] fidin, it depends on the user in my opinion [19:10] csmith1994: try the alternative driver, ndiswrapper [19:11] ryann, that gives me the same error [19:11] are you guys reading eveerything i am saying or what? [19:11] LOL [19:11] ryann , can i pm u? [19:11] komputes: yeah I have used it I know what it can do [19:11] !ndiswrapper | MorphyNOR [19:11] MorphyNOR: I need the windows driver to do that [19:11] MorphyNOR: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:11] csmith1994 it has 1gb of ram [19:11] klown, this might lead to more! [19:11] MorphyNOR, yup, that could work too. this is not my chip, so i cant say for sure [19:11] csmith1994: you can get that online [19:11] komputes: but believe me when I add the .ISO file [19:11] Gieke: i don't print from any of my linux boxes now that i think about it [19:11] klown, thanks! [19:11] fidin thats a gateway netbook right [19:11] but i can test in a vm.. [19:11] M30W, he is using a nvidia card, and the onboard card, but it may help some. [19:11] hold on a second [19:11] usr13? [19:11] JoeSomebody: no not everything only things I can understand [19:11] komputes: it doesn't add that [19:11] I thought u were saying you were through with ubuntu....my bad [19:11] Can someone tell me how to get the original sources list for ubuntu 9.10 [19:12] !who [19:12] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:12] where can i d/l it from? [19:12] is there still a website where you enter your region and it gives you a sources.list just for your area? [19:12] anyway y'all have a good one and i shall try maybe next week, again the samba guys checked my config, (took an hour) said its ok [19:12] csmith1994 gateway? it's an asus. and it's upgradable to 2gb. or do you mean gateway like in between? [19:12] for example if I live in Idaho [19:12] froglet: Use System>Admin..>softwere Sources [19:12] it will give me some source.list close to me [19:12] mostafa_: great, so point it to the iso, point it to the USB disk, format, select "Discard on shutdown" and make the Starup Disk. Done. [19:12] fidin I'd just run ubuntu this has the same specs as a full fledged laptop [19:12] MorphyNOR: Didn't you ask: "is ndiswrapper still around?" [19:12] froglet: in the first tab Download from: choose best server [19:12] erUSUL: and if I messed up my original sources.list? [19:12] JoeSomebody, it may have been ok for a generic share, but there may be variables you arnt telling someone also :P [19:13] usr13: yes, but I don't need help finding it ;) [19:13] Guest83771: you're just going to end up with a broken system if you just point your sources.list at karmic from a dapper install [19:13] csmith1994, the bcmwl-kernel-source should be on the cd, if you enable cd as a source, you could load it that way [19:13] fidin I meant gateway like the company I have a gateway netbook with those specs except for a 220gb hdd [19:13] trism he told me he installed karmic [19:13] MorphyNOR: Please forgive me for supplying unwanted information. [19:13] sal_ i didnt use a cd I used the wubi installer [19:13] he said 9.10 actually [19:13] froglet: remove it. System>Admin..>softwere Sources should be able to regenrate it [19:13] csmith1994, otherwise find a wire to plug into [19:13] usr13: no problem :) [19:13] erUSL thanks [19:13] froglet: his source.list list makes it look like a dapper install (plus he has hardy and karmic repos pasted on at the end) [19:13] Having som trouble installing flash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349198/ [19:14] trism: k [19:14] csmith1994, well, your just asking for double trouble then .. ;-| [19:14] sal_ i downloaded the windows installer from the website [19:14] <----Very green noob [19:14] fidin, I installed UNR on a netbook for the son of a co-worker. Dual booted it with window xp that came with netbook. After a week I called and asked him how it was going, he said I dont use the windows side the ubuntu is easier....so for him UNR is great. My wife has full ubuntu and prefers that...on her dell mini. Depends on user....the newer they are to linux and netbooks...I say go unr [19:14] we are all green noobs sometime, I am still green [19:14] Lungan: which command did you run? [19:14] ribbit [19:14] I'll try it out [19:14] I hope i don't see you guys soon [19:15] lol [19:15] :) [19:15] MorphyNOR, Ive tried some different commands and get the same error [19:15] so sal_ how would I go about fixing this without the cdc [19:15] im having an issue with any applets (other than videos) on webpages. The applet doesnt work, and all it shows is a ugly green background. Java, and icetea are both installed, anyone have any ideas? [19:16] klown makes sense, i am new to ubuntu and linux , (2 or 3 months) so i wouldn't know , i do good just to give the helpers the correct information, and samba helpers are discouraged for me, but if you (or anyone) want to check my config or anything i can always reboot again [19:17] JoeSomebody, i dont know your entire story, if you want to give me an explanation of what is going on, ill try my best to help out [19:17] JoeSomebody: well from what you say it works fine but crashes so that can't be a config thing [19:17] could anyone please help me? [19:17] JoeSomebody: I run ubuntu 8.04 and have samba running for 3 months without a reboot with no problems [19:17] Lungan: tried doing a dpkg purge? [19:17] my ubuntu manages to send printer things to my windows XP [19:17] very basic question.. does | seperate commands to run one before another ? (ex.: sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get upgrade . Where it would update, then once that is completed, it would do an upgrade?) [19:18] yes works fine , maybe for days or weeks, then i am on an win box and can't access the sahares anymore [19:18] MorphyNOR, nope, how do I do that? [19:18] i'm installing the flash plugin for firefox, but it gets stuck at 89% at 'applying changes', what can i do? i'm using the ubuntu software center to install it [19:18] i never get any errors on the linux box [19:18] but my printer messes everything up by printing all kinds of characters [19:18] natewiebe13: nope.. that's a pipe.. it sends the output from one command to another [19:18] Lungan: sudo dpkg --purge remove "flash" [19:18] zwemshort, heb je de wubi installer gebruikt? [19:18] Lungan: put in whatever you tried to install in where it says "flash" [19:18] ik had dat probleem ook [19:18] Slart: okay.. is there a way to run one command, and when one is done it will run another [19:18] vm player [19:18] natewiebe13: you can use stuff like ; to separate commands.. or && to only run the next command if the first is succesful [19:18] sludge, well i'm not new to linux or ubuntu at all. i've been running normal ubuntu's on my normal laptop for years. i guess i shouldnt use remix then [19:18] samba guys looked at logs and saw possibly flaky hardware, but under xp it is always ok [19:18] Hola!! Como estan todos!? [19:19] ik kan ubuntu niet installeren als native os, heb ik al vaak geprobeerd [19:19] so linux to linux sharing works 100% of the time? [19:19] !es | ShadeGris [19:19] dus gebruik ik gewoon vm player [19:19] ShadeGris: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:19] hardware cant be god in xp always and bad in linux can it? [19:19] hi everyone...

[19:21] MorphyNOR, Synaptic [19:21] JoeSomebody, like i said, i dont know your story, and mine was with a standalone nas..might not be your problem, but there is plenty of things that could cause the connection to drop.

I would like to build GTK+ on my 9.10. However, I've never built a big project like this before, unfortunately. So i'm a complate noob. I got a hint that I should use jhbuild. ok so jhbuild says to me "ImportError: No module named jhbuild" (just this, no .main or .commands, etc). I understand that it's missing it's python module but what now? isn't there a more up to date tool for building GTK+ since the ubuntu section of the [19:48] jhbuild docs is 2 years old.

[19:51] llutz my plan was to do a ps aux once and then grep it 5 times. i assume that is more efficient than using pgrep 5x with different strings? the problem with my plan was that when i assigned the ps aux output to a variable that it lost the linebreaks and was as such no longer very useful [19:51] sacarlson, if I've got to the point when I can build GTK+ that's okay, I think I'll manage the rest :) [19:51] !info gkrellm | wilhart [19:51] naxa: I'm not sure what the filechooser does but the user interface can be writen with glade that uses gtk [19:51] wilhart: gkrellm (source: gkrellm): GNU Krell Monitors.

I mean my intention is to modify GNOME itself and not to write an app with ui [19:52] vfen: you could look in ~/.pidgin (or so...)

[21:02] Scunizi, aye. all but facebook. -.- [21:02] squiddy and then my wifi will work? [21:03] hey guys, anyone manage a music collection using ubuntu here? [21:03] Scunizi, almost prepared to accept this weird behaviour as a sign of sorts.. :D [21:03] paulus68: a.) why are you running bind on your server if you don't know how to use it b.) do you want rndc to use localhost for zone transfer/updates ? [21:03] rob_p: the chang is to add "at+cgdcont=1" to the dial out for my usb modem. In windows the usb software has the function to do this. I may have caused confusion with the term init string, my hours of googling led me to call it that. [21:03] csmith1994: i done that and i got my bcm4312 card worked. [21:03] gerrh: when you try to go to facebook what kind of error do you get? [21:03] gerrh: check your ubuntu machine can use the dns server [21:03] Guest6798 i would install it, because 9.10 is great, I installed it on a few diffrent configurations and with proper configuration i works great [21:04] animuson: then you somehow misconfigured your name server - because the addresses in resolv.conf are the same you gave me as IP addresses of your machine [21:04] it* [21:04] ikonia: he can get to other sites... just not facebook [21:04] ikonia: bind was running correctly and I don't know how the rndc got involved on my server [21:04] Scunizi: I thought that was only though windows [21:04] hess502: well, without an internet connection, it would be useless. If I can make it work, of course I'll install it. [21:04] squiddy you didn't have to do anything else? [21:04] Scunizi, Server not found in firefox, Host not found in links, and so on [21:04] ikonia:facebook is down for me in eire. [21:04] paulus68: rndc is part of binds update procedure === rainbow is now known as Guest52503 [21:04] does anyone here manage a large music collection using ubuntu? [21:04] ikonia: not from what he just said [21:04] Scunizi, yet facebook.com responds to my pings [21:05] Scunizi, it's almost as if they have blocked me or something.. [21:05] is there a way that icons on the desktop will always appear in the smallest possible size? [21:05] gerrh: can you get to it via ip? [21:05] guntbert: should they be pointing to the ip addresses for my domain provider? [21:05] csmith1994: nope, as i can remember. [21:05] Is there a signal i can send to a process to restart it? [21:05] soupsandwiches: What dialer are you using (wvdial gnomeppp, etc.)? [21:05] llutz, the file is empty, do I just add "-c" in there or what? [21:05] Milp: -HUP [21:05] Guest6798 running live cd isnt good way to check the new wersion, I for example did'nt have sound with running it live [21:05] squiddy thanks im gonna try that now [21:06] !quit [21:06] csmith1994: ok. good luck. [21:06] Milp: kill -SIGCONT pid [21:06] Scunizi, indeed i can. [21:06] Scunizi, guess dns somewhere along the way is fubared then ey [21:07] hess502: hmm, I'll try it, but if it does not work, I'll go back to XP for this computer. XP works great with the wifi, I've never had any problem :-) [21:07] rob_p: I think gnome ppp, there are no settings in wvdial.conf [21:07] gerrh: when you try to get there with the domain name are you typing the www or just "facebook.com".. [21:07] This is weird, the SSHD is running, but i cant connect to it D: [21:07] Scunizi, tried both www. and facebook.com alone [21:07] Flamekebab: ups, not empty on jaunty. check for other bootscripts performing fsck at boottime. i don't know anything about upstarts scripts (karmic( [21:07] animuson: not necessarily - but if they point to your local name server that server must be configured correctly - you could point them to your ISP's NS (or use opendns.org) just to test if everything else is ok [21:07] Scunizi, made no difference [21:07] I'm trying to edit a .gif and I can only draw in the colors that are already in the picture (there are only two) any help? [21:07] Scunizi, haha..epic. Firefox can't find the server at login.63.187.17. [21:08] gerrh: then you're correct.. dns is messed someplace. if you have a router you might want to try using the opendns.com dns servers.. they are listed at the bottom of their page.. [21:08] Guest6798 i also have xp as a seccond system, because I'm a gamer, but 9.10 is really the best:)) [21:08] Scunizi, tried logging in after getting the connection via ip [21:08] ikonia: ok do you have a pointer on how to solve this? [21:08] Guest6798 just try it, and you'll gonna love it:) [21:08] Scunizi, it's strange that the windows boxes doesn't seem to suffer though isn't it. [21:09] paulus68: it's not a problem if you're not doing zone transefers, it means rncd can't communicate with bind on the local host address [21:09] This is weird, the SSHD is running, but i cant connect to it D: Anyone? [21:09] Milp: error? [21:09] gerrh: that is weird.. I've no answer for this one .. sorry [21:09] Milp: try it on the localhost [21:09] ikonia: ok thanks [21:09] Milp: ssh localhost [21:09] Scunizi, no worries. thanks anyhow. :> [21:09] is there a sshfs fstab options such that it'll do a sudo su immediately after mounting? ie... sshfs#myserver: /mnt/blah fuse user,noauto,initcmd='sudo su' 0 0 [21:09] what do you mean ikonia? I am on a windows machine trying to connect to my server :/ [21:10] Milp: then how do you know ssh is running ? [21:10] how can i login to a ubuntu machine with a public ip , vinagre dosnt allow public IPs! [21:10] soupsandwiches: wvdial has a utility which generates a, "generic config" that can be tweaked to your settings. Can't remember what the command is at the moment but it's in the docs for wvdial. I've not used gnome ppp so can't comment on it. My guess is, you configure whatever dialer you're going to use and then have Networkmanager invoke the dialer. But maybe Networkmanager has the built-in capability to dial directly... not sure. [21:10] ikonia i have a webinterface that is always online that lets me see processes and some other basic things and sshd is running [21:10] the remote machine is running on CD [21:10] rob_p: Thanks [21:10] Milp: what is the web interface ? [21:10] Milp: then that web interface would appear wrong - or there is something blocking you [21:11] Milp: can you connect to port 22 on the target machine with telnet ? [21:11] ikonia its parallels power panel [21:11] ikonia telnet on 22? not 23? [21:11] How would I force fsck to run at boot time with the -c parameter to check for bad blocks? [21:11] Milp: apologies, 23 [21:12] alteregoa: the remote is running on live cd with a public IP? [21:12] Milp: is this a "container" or a physical machine install ? [21:12] by default does the server install only have the basic system, not a bunch of other shit? [21:12] what is an alternative to cheese? [21:12] a container only [21:12] kcj1993: VLC [21:12] alteregoa: is it behind a router? [21:12] Milp: ok, then the host networking maybe down [21:12] a container only ikonia * [21:13] Milp: that situation ssh could be running on the guest, but the host network being unavailable stops it [21:13] hm no, its definately something i messed up, because it only stopped working after i restarted after a dist upgrade [21:13] on the target container i mean [21:13] Milp: ahh, sshd probably needs restarting if ssl has been updated or libpcap [21:13] Milp: yup, that would make sense [21:13] ikonia hm i already restarted like thrice :/ [21:13] sctrunzi: ITS directly PUBLIC IP!

[21:31] TXX: what happens when you just install vino?

I'm wondering what I would need to tell GRUB in order for it to boot for me [21:31] have any one succeeded in synchronizing a pocket pc with ubuntu? [21:31] paulus68: open synaptic package manager and in the sources tab you can change the servers or have it search for the fastest server for your location. [21:32] hacked_kernel, I'd love to hear an answer on this one as well! [21:32] Scunizi: from the cli if possible [21:32] So if I enter sudo rm /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [21:32] its not going to delete root or anything like that? Because I know a prank involving rm and it deleting linux [21:32] Flamekebab: ah.. now that's a good question.. one I don't have an answer too. sorry [21:32] Purpley: it only removes what you tell it to remove [21:32] booh, :D [21:32] OK very well just making sure lol [21:33] booh, sorry, wrong msg [21:33] Bookman, :D [21:33] can anyone tell me why vlc media works on windows but not on ubuntu?

[21:34] !fsck | Flamekebab [21:34] Flamekebab: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:35] meway, what type of file are you trying to play [21:35] just a dvd [21:35] atualizar o sistema [21:35] meway, yeah, there is a trick to it, lemme find the link [21:35] Scunizi, yeah, but I need it to run with -c which is apparently not safe [21:35] Hence why I'm planning to boot from USB and go from there [21:35] skrite oh thank you [21:35] Is there a GUI available for running proftpd?

[22:06] Flamekebab: There is the process monitor, or the startup services list - does that help? [22:06] Flamekebab: part of the problem will be that many services are now moved to being started by 'Upstart' not the 'Sysv' system. so that is a bit of a bother at this time [22:06] ah [22:06] then rightclick the name and select show channel list [22:06] I wanted to check through to see if there's any non-essential stuff that I could kill off [22:06] Flamekebab: upstart ran services are defined in /etc/init the sysv ran ones in /etc/rc2.d [22:07] Flamekebab: I doubt if theres any you should be messing with. [22:07] Flamekebab, sudo apt-get install chkconfig [22:07] For example, I have no reason to be running Bluetooth services, Dr_Willis [22:08] Flamekebab: I doubt if removing it is going to save you much of anything.. it runs.. sees no devices.. and proberly just exits, or otherwise waits around [22:08] what if you later install a bluetooth gizmo then forget you disabled it... [22:08] On this laptop, that's not going to happen [22:08] but do what you want.

I run kde apps on gnome all the time [22:11] recmajkemi: no [22:11] recmajkemi: and visa-versa [22:11] i love 9.10.. i have read the the new gnome is going to be a lot different [22:11] recmajkemi: You can occasionally have a few quirky issues when mixing the 2. but normlly things workj fine [22:12] i like kde.. but i hate that i cant make a shortcut on the desktop [22:12] Hi, no issues here, just a question.

[22:16] kingsley_: you worried about it hurting windows? [22:16] kingsley_: or what exactly? [22:16] MorphyNOR do you know how do I change kdm to gdm ? [22:16] kingsley install win7 first [22:16] I would think reinstalling would be safer then inszrtalliong.. since the drives are allready partioned. [22:16] hey guys, i just installed windows xp on the empty space at the end of my drive, which of course wrote over grub and I got "disk error" on boot. I restored grub from the ubuntu livecd and ubuntu boots againt thank god, but I cannot get XP to boot . I think it is because XP installed itself into a logical partition for some reason, sda5 which is part of extended partition sda3. can grub boot this? [22:16] Anybody using the tracker indexer ? [22:16] the risk is none if in installer you set it to install to the partition you already have to ubuntu [22:16] Or beagle ? [22:17] Dr_Willis: incase my / partition gets full what do i do to clear up space? [22:17] Dr_Willis: Yes, I'm worried about hurting Windows. Naturally I'd like to avoid any other problem too. [22:17] xtjacob: you could move /var or /tmp to another filesystem if you wanted [22:17] hi there, I've just installed kubuntu-desktop and in kde there are HUGE fonts that look awful and unreadable, what can I do to fix it? any help? [22:17] tobiasz: kde has font settings you could twiddle with [22:18] tobiasz: try in #kubuntu too [22:18] Dr_Willis I never ever used kde before [22:18] tobiasz: time to explore the settings menus/icon then I guess. [22:18] )) [22:18] Been testing out kde4 beta here. Its got some neat new features. === asdfasdfsad is now known as Oneliner [22:19] Dr_Willis: like? [22:19] ye [22:20] Where is patch on Jaunty?

[22:20] okay [22:20] i dont understand this, I've install ubuntu twice, and both times typed in the root password carefully, and everytime I try and login it says incorrect [22:20] Dr_Willis what version of kde do I install from repos within kubuntu-desktop package? [22:20] Ricoshady: what root password? theres only the initial user and their password by default.. [22:21] it asked me for the root password during install [22:21] tobiasz: i just install the kubuntu-desktop package. and select KDE at the login screen. [22:21] Ricoshady: you dont use root to login [22:21] root has no pw [22:21] I just bought a domain and I'm going to set up my own email server. Is it especially difficult? I'm hoping that it is equally difficult as is setting up a webserver [22:21] Ricoshady, you normally don't type in a root passwd during setup [22:21] Ricoshady: server install? or desktop? or what exactly? [22:21] Is it possible to re-install ubuntu over a failed dual boot install? [22:21] server intall [22:21] !password [22:21] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [22:21] Ricoshady: if you are using su you first have to set the root password with sudo passwd [22:21] Server install asks for a root password? Never noticed that. [22:21] Dr_Willis I just wanted you to tell me what version of kde does kubuntu-desktop contain :P [22:21] what is the dbus-viewer called now a days? [22:21] instead of su use sudo [22:22] !noroot | sttal [22:22] sttal: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [22:22] kingsley_: yes, just remember to format the partitions you've already made instead of using the normal option of installing [22:22] tobiasz: no idea whats the default. [22:22] uhmm is there a way to reset my soundcard ?? after playing wow.. it chops up the sound completely in youtube. [22:22] Ricoshady: You can manualy edit /etc/shadow if uou have access to the box [22:22] Dr_Willis it think it's 4 or 4.3 [22:22] MorphyNOR: Can you elaborate? [22:22] jellow, I created a normal user, but I shouldnt have access right? [22:22] jellow: not recommended [22:22] tobiasz: its 4.?? :) [22:22] !sshkeys [22:22] Ricoshady: your initial user should have sudo rights. [22:23] kingsley_: during install, when you're given the option on how to install the system, dont choose automatic [22:23] !authorized_keys [22:23] hey guys anybody knows how i can install the old ATI driver ..?? [22:23] Dr_Willis I think so I saw fedora 12 with kde 4.3 and it looks exacly the same by default :) [22:23] !yourmom [22:23] !askthebot | Ziber [22:23] Ziber: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[22:26] Dr_Willis, I think my system was disabled, but when I changed the root password somehow I enabled it, now how do I disable it again? [22:26] Ricoshady: just put you user pass [22:26] gnome image veiwer should be able to print .jpg [22:26] Ricoshady: not sure. [22:26] Well i gotta run. bye [22:26] Dr_Willis, but i don't want to remount _everything_ [22:26] Dr_Willis, just the cifs mounts [22:26] Fallout_Emanuel: only 3 drives, it doesn't list it [22:26] ozzloy: mount them indivially i dont think -a -t cifs is valid... try it and see i guess [22:26] Fallout_Emanuel: (there are 4 total, 3 IDE 1 SATA) [22:27] is there a way to set up to where my secondary hdd mounts at startup without a pw?

[22:27] karma_police, is there a command line command to open a .jpeg in gnome image viewer ? [22:27] i'm not sure about command line [22:27] chalcedony: try man to see if you can open it with a switch to open a pic [22:27] Dr_Willis, oh, do you mean mount them with `mount -t cifs //192.bla /mnt/streamer`? [22:27] karma_police: try appname filename.jpg [22:28] MorphyNOR: Do you happen to know if one should not choose the automatic install for computers with nvidia video cards? [22:28] kingsley_: should make no difference [22:28] Fallout_Emanuel: the chipset is a VT6420, is it possible to check that the sata_via module is in fact targeted toward that specific chipset? [22:28] kingsley_: however, a automatic install might overwrite your other OS [22:28] Ricoshady: to disable root account sudo usermod -p '!' root [22:28] hey guys please tell me , is there a way to install he binary blob driver for ATI ? on Ubuntu 9.10 ? ... [22:28] guess i could do that. i'm more confident in that notation. i'd rather make it use the fstab file if possible [22:28] It says there is none, because some interfaces changed... [22:29] i'm wanting to have my secondary hdd mount automatically at startup... right now it prompts a pw when i try to mount it [22:29] Fallout_Emanuel: the truth of the matter is, i'm not sure who/what to blame (mobo, ubuntu, etc) my mobo doesn't even post SATA info at all, i'd have to try windows and use their raid disk (for XP only) [22:29] does anyone know what [klogd] is?

Judging by the boot messages, it's either something to do with the graphics adapter or the DRM module. Where should I start? [22:48] kriss3d, i even burned the cd ON the mac and it still will not boot, any ideas? [22:48] itilious: so you have a cd with the ubuntu but you cant make he mac boot it ?? thats odd. [22:48] meway: try getting it from the installer built into ubuntu and or the update manager [22:48] hmm no idea then [22:48] taylor thats what i used [22:48] Is it dangerous to save files in the / folder if its in a folder in there? [22:48] meway: which one? [22:48] itilious: just curious, but why install ubuntu on a mac? ain't OSX /leopard / Snow Leopard faster? I have no idea about mac OS... [22:48] Could someone help me with reinstalling mysql and having that install reput all the files out there?

[22:49] Chrystallic, i've heard everywhere that ubuntu runs a little bit faster than mac osx [22:49] meway: ok then i have no clue sorry [22:49] taylor This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time [22:49] can I install Ubuntu from Windows, without burning a disk?

[22:51] itilious: it is.. but its a problem if mac wants to use its own ways to run the hardware [22:51] sttal, its not? [22:52] how come the latest Mozilla Thunderbird in 'main' is still 2.x and not 3.x? [22:52] Chrystallic: i tried wubi at first.. it wasnt a problem really.. only thing is that it uses vistas own bootloader which isnt editable at all [22:52] i just can't believe that MAC is the one that succlessfuly keeps a linux CD from booting and windows machine DOESNT do this, i thought it would be the other way around [22:52] rip: Because 3.0 came out after 9.10 was already released [22:52] do any of you guys run steam on ubuntu?
