[00:00] every time i load twhirl (a twitter client) it always asks me to enter my PW for the keyring [00:00] so what shall i do [00:00] reefer, use sudo [00:00] reefer: sudo [00:00] reefer: if you want to set one, do 'sudo passwd root' [00:00] reefer: sudo passwd [00:00] dkulchenko, this is a "tail -fn 0 *" on all files in /var/log/gdm/ while the error occurs : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2755949a , do you see the line "xsplash: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0" ? [00:00] ty [00:00] damn damn damn, burned the Ubuntu 9.10 desktop cd instead of the server, so it cant mount my RAID10 :( === matt_ is now known as smackdaddyz [00:00] reefer - It's better not to use the root account. [00:00] I have a user in my server how can make this user connect only from a single Ip address? [00:00] yes i know [00:00] Hello. I want to know what is recommended for a rather weak computer (ion asrock 330). 32bit or 64 bit operativesystem? I only have 2 gig ram and I won [00:00] reefer, I support what FactTech is suggesting [00:00] t upgrade [00:01] Hey guys, i was wondering if i could get some help with my samba issue. I just freshly installed 9.10 on my file server and now streaming video via samba is having issues to both my windows 7 pc and my WD TV live. Are there anythings i can do to see what is happening? It isn't putting anything in the log files in /var/logs/samba [00:01] benji123: yes, but that is irrelevant. that is a standard error when the X server is shutting down. your GNOME works now, right? [00:01] reefer - The account you set up during installation will have admin rights -- you can do everything you need to do from that account using 'sudo'. [00:01] quizme: yeah I just saw that... that's bad. it should've been there :-) but ok try let ALT-N start this command instead: gnome-terminal --geometry=120x36 [00:01] Hello. I want to know what is recommended for a rather weak computer (ion asrock 330). 32bit or 64 bit operativesystem? I only have 2 gig ram and I won't upgrade. Do I really benefit ? [00:01] i agree guys [00:01] reefer, using sudo instead of enabling a root password has all the benefits and none of the security vulnerability [00:01] Hi. When I use "apt-cache search", I have to do some sort of index command before hand, right? What was that command? "apt-cache update" or something? [00:01] quizme: if you want 120 chars by 36 lines [00:01] reefer - Any other account can be enabled to do the same by making it an admin account. [00:01] jolaren: 32bit [00:01] blakkheim; Why? REally? [00:01] ty guys [00:02] reefer: also, if you want a root shell, just sudo -i [00:02] reefer: or sudo su - [00:02] yall have been great help [00:02] jolaren: if you only have 2gb of ram why would you want 64bit [00:02] anyone here use kazehakase? [00:02] ill be back later [00:02] blakkheim, that was my thoughts to. Thanks for elaborating [00:02] jolaren: you don't need anything special for 2gb ram. I'm using the normal karmic desktop with only 768mb [00:03] dkulchenko, yes it works [00:03] kwtm, sudo apt-get update [00:03] benji123: okay. then you're fine. that was just a bad setting/corrupted profiel [00:03] mhall119 I don't quite get it [00:03] Question: I've just set up a Logitech USB webcam on a laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), but the video only works when I'm logged in as an administrator, not as a normal user. Looked online for ideas, but the only one I saw was making sure the non-admin user was a member of group 'video', which it is. Any suggestions? [00:03] benji123: i have to go. [00:03] dkulchenko, thanks you very much [00:03] mkanyicy: Really? I had the impression that apt-cache and apt-get used different indices, for some reason. Has that changed? If I use apt-get to update, then apt-cache will also update? [00:03] benji123: no problem [00:04] hey guys been having problems with no sound for 2 days 'cat /proc/asound/pcm' does nothing and "alsamixer -c0" state no elements found [00:04] tobiasz, every process has a concept of "current working directory" [00:04] just like when you're in the shell, you are always in a directory [00:04] so are your processes [00:04] Dravenm4 - What kind of sound card are you using? [00:04] I have a user in my server how can make this user connect only from a single Ip address? [00:04] usually the process's working directory is the directory it was launched from [00:04] kwtm, oh? not sure, you may be right, I'ven't use apt-cache that much [00:04] ati IPX SB4x0 Highdef [00:05] not necessarly the directory the executable is in [00:05] mhall119 I get it but, I dunno how to make a shortcut to that game which would change the working directory [00:05] how do i run dual outputs to monitors [00:05] Maybe FactTech or jcc1 can help us because they seem fairly familiar with Ubuntu. [00:05] tobiasz, you can't do that in a shortcut (to my knowledge) [00:05] Has anyone else had a problem with the add/remove applications with a fresh install of Karmic? [00:05] Dravenm4 - What version of Ubuntu are you running? [00:05] tobiasz, rather, you'll need a simple script that will cd into that directory, then run the python script [00:05] kwtm: repeat the question, I missed it [00:05] mhall119 I just want a launcher on my desktop [00:05] kwtm - Missed it, too. [00:05] 9.10 [00:06] or have the python program change it's working directory when it's launched [00:06] jcc1, FactTech: Hi. When I use "apt-cache search", I have to do some sort of index command before hand, right? What was that command? "apt-cache update" or something? [00:06] kpomeroy, did you do apt-get update? [00:06] kwtm: aptitude update [00:06] kwtm: apt-get update [00:06] kwtm - try 'apt-get update' [00:06] hrm so mplayer really doesn't play the mkv file much better [00:06] mhall119 why does Ubuntu miss the shortcut feature? [00:06] fumbles: what resolution is it and what cpu do you have [00:06] FactTech, jcc1: oky, so you are agreeing with mkanyicy that apt-cache and apt-get use the same index. In that case, that's funny, some packages aren't there. [00:06] tobiasz, Ubuntu has .desktop files, which perform the same function, and also symlinks, that are more low-level [00:06] tobiasz, excuse me? [00:06] mhall119 the like of windows shortcut which runs files in their working directories [00:07] lulz it's a laptop [00:07] yes [00:07] I whould love to set CompizConfig's zoom-function let me zoom by holding the mouse at an edge of the screen and scroll the mousewheel (that is zoom withouth holding "Super" keyboard key and instead holding mouse at for exemple right screen edge)... how do I do? [00:07] fumbles: that didn't answer either of my questions "lulz" [00:07] kwtm - I don't know the details, but I've never noticed them being out of sync. [00:07] kwtm - What packages are missing? [00:07] tobiasz, Ubuntu programs are supposed to do this for you [00:07] I'm having a problem turning a Linux game patch into an executable file. It's for Unreal Tournament, the GOTY edition. I've followed a few different tutorial I found online, but have'nt had any success. [00:07] kwtm: the packages themselves won't be there until you download them, just locations, versions, etc [00:07] FactTech: pymedia. Is that part of Ubuntu or not? [00:08] Dravenm4 - Can you see the card in the output of 'lspci'? [00:08] mhall119 frets on fire must be kinda retarded in that matter then [00:08] Wubi.exe forces me to install ubuntu 64 bits but I want to use 32 bits as in the ISO how can I stop this? [00:08] jcc1: Agreed that apt-cache won't download packages, but at least I should be able to locate a package name. [00:08] kwtm: Have you tried to use Synaptic Package Manager yet? [00:08] blakkheim: Gateway Laptop- Dual 1.6GHz intel, once I remember the command for resolution I will tell you [00:08] kwtm - Are you sure you have the correct package name? [00:08] jolaren: don't use wubi [00:08] tobiasz, sounds like you have the source code, not an installable package, yes? [00:08] the "screen edge" and "edge button" is greyed out in the CompizConfig setting for desktopszooms actions... can I un-disable them? [00:08] fumbles: i mean the resolution of the mkv file [00:09] mhall119 there is a source code, but I never ever compiled a thing so I dunno what to do, and instruction only says how to compile in windows and mac [00:09] SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller [00:09] kwtm: that will update for you and give you various search options from a GUI [00:09] jcc1: I'll try. There are other packages that seem to be missing. Anyway, for some reason Synaptic (and Compiz) have teensy font sizes (size 7) that I can't read. [00:09] tobiasz, is there a setup.py? [00:09] blakkheim: 1920x816 [00:09] Dravenm4 - OK, what's the exact error you get when you try to run alsamixer? [00:09] mhall119 yep, I ran it and nothing happened [00:09] kwtm: I don't use Compiz so I cannot help you there [00:09] jcc1: (separate issue now --I have *lots* of problems with Ubuntu) I can't read the fonts so I have to use the command-line instead. [00:09] try python setup.py build [00:10] followed by: sudo python setup.py install [00:10] fumbles: that's quite an odd video resolution, but i think your cpu isn't good enough to handle it. your best bet is to compile the multithreaded version of mplayer and try that. [00:10] No mixer elems found [00:10] ah ok [00:10] blakkheim: thank you [00:10] fumbles: vlc and the mplayer in ubuntu's repository only use 1 thread [00:10] kwtm: Compiz has always been a pain the few times I tried it, so I always dumped it, I'm not big on eye candy anyway :-) [00:10] XMonad ftw [00:11] tobiasz, does it work when you run it from the /src/ directory? [00:11] jcc1: I need it for the magnifier function, so I can read the screen properly. [00:11] or can I sett the hotkeys (or rather "hot-mouse-cliks") for compiz stuff in some other way than CompizConfig? [00:11] mhall119 it does run perfectly [00:11] mhall119 I just want a desktop shortcut [00:11] okay, then one way or the other we can get this working [00:11] kwtm: If it were me, I would just dump Compiz [00:11] tobiasz: right click create launcher [00:11] tobiasz, what is this command? [00:11] hi, after rebooting with my ubuntu 9.10, a bunch of applets disappeared. [00:12] kwtm: just eye candy anyway [00:12] jcc1: there is one good thing with Compiz though... zoom [00:12] enter custom terminal command and voila shortcut [00:12] tobiasz, what is this command that you want it's shortcut? [00:12] including net applet volume applet and others [00:12] is there a way to restore them? [00:12] if I just could use zoom without having to use keyboard [00:12] zoobox: I have nothing against Compiz, just more than I find usefull, that's all [00:12] Dravenm4 - Have you looked at some of the results at http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=alsamixer+no+mixer+elems+found&aq=0&aqi=g1&oq=alsamixer+no+mixer+e&fp=b36c7832dbb01be6 [00:13] dropedrobarri, rightclick the panel and then "add to panel" [00:13] mkanyicy, they are not there. Thats why i am asking here... [00:13] mhall119 http://paste.ubuntu.com/351004/ [00:13] easiest way is to create a file at /usr/bin/fretsonfire with the content "cd /home/whereeveritis/src/; python whatever.py" [00:13] this new version of ubuntu seems to work much faster on my laptop, but switching to the gui takes absolutely no time which makes me think it's constantly running in the background, didn't it put the gui to sleep when switching to tty1-6 in the past? [00:13] dropedrobarri, they are not where? [00:14] I have a problem with ssh: whenever I try to connect to an ip address that I connected to before, it wont let me connect because the computer has a different key. I know it has a different key, because it's different installs of ubuntu on the same computer. In jaunty I could connect anyway, after it told me and asked. Is there a better way to fix this than symlinking ~/.ssh/known_hosts to /dev/null? [00:14] mkanyicy, the are not in the "add to panel" menu.. [00:14] dropedrobarri: add Notification Area [00:14] dropedrobarri, there is Volume Control there [00:14] SoftwareExplorer: ...remove known_hosts? [00:15] dropedrobarri, and there is Network Monitor as well [00:15] SoftwareExplorer: yes, you can remove the offending line from known_hosts [00:15] mkanyicy, it WAS there. I booted today and it wasnt there [00:15] tobiasz, once you have that script working, you can create a desktop launcher to it [00:15] mhall119 trying it out as we speak [00:16] dropedrobarri, is the "there" part that get us misunderstand one another, these are in the Add to Panel menu [00:16] bean: I know I can do that, but it's a pain to do every time. All the computers I ssh into are in my house, so I'm not really worried that they might have a different key [00:17] mkanyicy, they were in the "add to panel" menu. And they've just disappeared, and its no way to add them.. [00:17] bean: if I could just have it ask when there is already an entry for an ip, it would be fine. [00:17] My turn for a grub question.. I need to add a command to the kernel line to get my system working (pci=nomsi).. I'm editing /etc/default/grub and added what I need in the same line as "quiet splash" which should work. Top of the edit window show I'll need to run "update-grub" when I'm done.. however I'm doing this from a live cd.. will the live cd update-grub still update the installed systems grub? [00:17] apt-get tells me I have all the newest versions of base , headers, and utils I am very new to linux not even 50% yet [00:17] somebody knows a irc for ekiga? [00:17] dropedrobarri, that is very strange [00:17] Host 192.168.0.* [00:17] StrictHostKeyChecking no [00:17] UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null [00:17] SoftwareExplorer: ^^ [00:17] SoftwareExplorer: once you delete the file it just creates another one with the new keys (as you ssh into them) unless you are re-loading OP Systems daily this shouldn't be that big an issue [00:18] lluvia_: gimpnet #ekiga [00:18] lluvia_: infact, it's probably on irc.gnome.org #ekiga [00:18] what is the name of the package that contains all gnome applets? [00:18] jcc1: The problem is that I'm multibooting, with one physical computer always at the same ip [00:18] hello [00:18] whoops [00:19] hello [00:19] bean: where should I put the StrictHostKeyChecking thing? [00:19] where is gtkrc in ubuntu 9.10 [00:19] ? [00:19] CShadowRun: Thanks! [00:19] SoftwareExplorer: I'm not sure there is a lot you can do other than what you ave already suggested [00:20] charnel: I think there in /usr/share/themes//gtkrc [00:20] *they're [00:20] hi [00:20] SoftwareExplorer: If its a custome theme how can i know the folder which holds the details [00:21] mhall119 can't get it to work [00:21] what's the error? [00:21] charnel: I think it's in like gtk-2.0 folder inside the folder inside the theme [00:21] charnel, it'll be under your user folder [00:21] SoftwareExplorer, maybe put what bean suggested in /etc/ssh/ssh_config [00:21] charnel, ~/.themes/ [00:22] hi karim__ [00:22] I would like to share a folder with two users, so I have set the folder as 775, with the sgid bit, and two users in the same group, and set the umask to 002, however if I copy files, they don't inherit the permissions 775 of the shared folder [00:22] Hey guys Im trying to change my monitor to display DVI but when I go to DVI my screen goes blank and then it goes back to VGA can someone help? [00:22] hey, whats the name of the binary of "ubuntu software center"? [00:22] mkanyicy: thanks, just a minute, I'm going to go try it [00:22] yes but I have many themes and when I right click and select the change background it says that I am using a custom theme does not provide its name in this condition which file in .themes shall I look [00:22] ? [00:22] ok Ill try again Im new to linux I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and everything works except sound I see the hardware but asla says no mixer and there is no hardware profile in the volume controls please help [00:23] karim: check your smb.conf file [00:23] dropedrobarri: /usr/bin/software-center [00:23] karim__, why don't you copy the files with "cp -p" ? [00:23] does ubuntu have a phone contact [00:23] mhall119 where can I upload screenshot for you [00:24] how do i restore my computer something just messed up [00:24] jim__: what happened? [00:24] karim__, secondly, I think i once heard a guru saying using umask is not a good practice [00:24] jim__ : if you can be more specific... [00:24] there a ubuntu jaunty hcannel ? [00:24] it said there was 300 some odd updates and i clicked teh updates and messed my comp up [00:24] s/hcannel/channel [00:25] macman_ : you can ask here about jaunty [00:25] in what file do Compiz store the settings (for the things... what is they called "plugins" ?) ? [00:25] zoobox: install ccsm [00:25] zvacet: this place is always busy for questions [00:25] blakkheim: what is ccsm? [00:25] zoobox: then you can export all your settings to a filee [00:25] zoobox: compizconfig-settings-manager [00:25] macman_, don't feel left out, my friend, this is for jaunty as well [00:25] mkanyicy: why would a user do that from command line ? [00:25] macman_ : this is a place for all supported versions of ubuntu [00:26] hello? [00:26] will update-grub from within the live cd work on an installed system after I've edited /etc/default/grub and added something? [00:26] karim__, do what? [00:26] hi, i'm having trouble finding a cronjob i created, where are all the possible places it could be at [00:26] oh ok cool .. i remember when jaunty first came out they had a channel for it [00:26] mkanyicy: and anyway I would want no-preserve, [00:26] don't worr im install 9.0.4 and about to updte to the latest [00:26] i can see this is no help [00:26] this ubuntu is crap [00:26] fuck ubuntu [00:27] and fuck you all [00:27] karim__, anyway you still have chown and chmod, yaaay!! [00:27] jim__: ubuntu is the best distro out there and easiest [00:27] <3 [00:27] he's got the rage :D [00:27] blakkheim: ah! ok yeah it is ccsm I use. but the "screen edge" and "edge button" columns in the settings is grayed out .... how do I set them? [00:27] windoes [00:27] wondows [00:27] what about windows? [00:27] jim__: windows has been crap since day one and should be shut down [00:27] !ask | jim__ without all the foul language [00:27] thats the best [00:27] jim__ without all the foul language: 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. :-) [00:27] ban this jim__ guy please! [00:27] jim__ : if you don´t like it use something else [00:27] jim__: Windows is a proprietary operating system made by people who do not care about your or your freedom, they only care about your money [00:28] don't feed the troll [00:28] !languagfe |jim__ [00:28] meoblast001: blablabla :3 [00:28] howdeep: sorry, sometimes i get tempted ;) [00:28] unfortunat;ly i dont no how to get rid of this dam operating system [00:28] "your or your freedom" lol [00:28] blakkheim: >.< [00:28] mhall119 nothing happens [00:28] Is there a way to completely wipe xorg and start from the begining with configuring it? [00:28] tobiasz, running from the command line? [00:28] I messed up a lot of stuff [00:29] Yes that's right what you said, meoblast001 [00:29] :d [00:29] :D [00:29] jim__ : I will tell you if you realy want to do that [00:29] Is it possible to not only letting Conky display RSS item but also let the item title be clickable so that the titles will work as links? [00:29] Purpley1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I think [00:29] Purpley1: the only configuration file in xorg is xorg.conf [00:29] Purpley1: sure.. just rename it xorg.conf.backup and then make a new xorg.conf [00:29] what scunizi said [00:30] modern XOrg will auto-configure itself [00:30] when i go to add/remove it dont work [00:30] No I'd prefer a GUI interface to reconfigure everything instead of text lines [00:30] major failure [00:30] jim__, what doesn't work? [00:30] it worked fine 20 minutes ago [00:30] Purpley1, GUI is often harder to explain than text [00:30] mhall119 http://paste.ubuntu.com/351009/ [00:30] i need to talk to someone directly [00:30] If someone of the Community Council is following this chat, I have just sent an email to community-council@lists.ubuntu.com [00:30] can anyone help me with a disappeared mdadm raid1 array? [00:31] jim__, about what? [00:31] my laptop will not go online anymore [00:31] jim__: you're talking to 1200+ directly [00:31] jim__ : run from terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and pastebin output here [00:31] jim__, state your problem, clearly [00:31] i dont no what the problem is [00:31] I have my monitors VGA port plugged into it but I also have the DVI port plugged in, I want to use the DVI port but when I scan for new monitors it dosen't recognize anything [00:31] HDMI, purpley ? [00:31] i want to restore my computer back to an hour ago before it took a crap [00:31] !!!! god i hate linux some times... so i need a live CD to do a fsck on my FS, but i need the alternate CD, b/c it is the only one w\ mdadm for my RAID, but the alternate CD doesn't have fsck apparently?! [00:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:31] Purpley1, both connectors going to the same monitor? [00:32] Purpley1: xorg is typically empty and the video system is run by xrandr .. [00:32] hi all. just installed ubuntu 9.10 64bit and I have connected the spdif audio output to the hdmi on my video card. I'm getting a horrid noise that stops and starts at random intervals through my speakers when doing this. Has anyone seen/heard this before? [00:32] how do i do a system restore? [00:32] re: my disappeared mdadm array -> http://pastebin.com/m66ea2ac1 [00:32] mhall119, YEs [00:32] jim__, which system do you want to restore? [00:32] jim__ : it is not crap it updates ans believe me you want it just let as solve your situation === erkan^ is now known as erkan^away [00:32] Ubottu, we're a bunch of carbon chemistry chauvanists. [00:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:32] Purpley1, disconnect the VGA and try again [00:33] jim__, are you using a laptop or desktop? [00:33] What should I do? Just take it out put in the DVI and then what? [00:33] laptop [00:33] Purpley1, then try and detect it [00:33] jim__, ok, are you having windows as well? [00:33] But how, I can't see anything my screen will be black [00:33] im on my pc which is windows [00:33] One I unplug the VGA my monitor shuts off [00:33] jim__, i don't like windows [00:34] jim__, there is no windows on the laptop? [00:34] jim__: sorry to hear that [00:34] Purpley1: I've missed most of this.. and I can't scroll back.. are you having issues getting the live cd working or dual monitors or what? [00:34] jim__ did you installed by wubi or dual boot [00:34] blakkheim, how do I export my CCSM settings to a file? ccsm doesn't seem to have a button for that, and doesn't have any man-help och --help help from command line? [00:34] I have my monitors VGA port plugged into it but I also have the DVI port plugged in, I want to use the DVI port but when I scan for new monitors it dosen't recognize anything [00:34] "it" is my computer [00:34] zoobox, doesn't it store your config in your home dir? [00:34] erkan^away, please let's our likes and dislikes to ourselves for now [00:34] i clicked update manager and it started to do 300 something updates and now my computer is messed up [00:35] jim__, what is messed up?

Is there any way to roll back? [01:13] this happens with every video playing program [01:14] MindVirus: you can just rollback to that what is current in the repo [01:14] iceroot: how? [01:14] MindVirus: sudo apt-get install packagename [01:14] Ubuntu it is then [01:14] pjotter: if you just want to see something run, try "touch /tmp/myfile" and you'll see the timestamp update every minute [01:14] Suncross, now type ./install [01:14] zoobox: i'm running karmic [01:14] iceroot: Problem is, I don't know what was updated. [01:15] Purpley1: For some reason, it stopped at Untitled [01:15] Now I hear Ubuntu has a bad theme by default, Can someone suggest one for me? :P [01:15] MindVirus: updates using ubuntu-repo? then you cant rollback [01:15] Sweet. [01:15] Darkedge: try it yourself [01:15] Suncross, My mistake sorry enter this /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled_folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC [01:15] mister_roboto: I just wanted to see how this "Scheduled Tasks" program works. So I just thought I let a popup an application every minute. I thought of firefox. Do you have a better suggestion? Is there a program that wiul generate a sound or some other thing I can see in Ubuntu? [01:15] pjotter: actually you should assume that the cron job is running with NO environment set up. and you should use full paths to everything. e.g. /usr/bin/touch /tmp/myfile [01:16] Purpley1: Ah, ok thank you. [01:16] pjotter: i just told you. just touching a file is a pretty easy thing to do with visible results [01:16] Purpley1: It still says that there isnt a folder named that [01:16] mister_roboto: thanks, Iĺl try that :) [01:16] pjotter: you can use "ls -l /tmp/myfile" to see the timestamp [01:16] I can't patch svgalib, any fix for this? it said inherit: command not found [01:17] iceroot: huh? try what myself? the theme? I have tried Ubuntu before, and I think im going back to it :P [01:17] Suncross, what does the current terminal line say? [01:17] Darkedge: the one that will work with everything is clearlooks because it is default for gnome. unfortuneately if you chose something that suits your sense of style then some things will break. [01:17] Darkedge: try to find a theme yourself of course. everyone is prefering another theme [01:17] orenji: how are trying to patch it? :f [01:18] Purpley1: suncross@suncross-desktop:~$ === nosrepa is now known as APERSON [01:18] I downloaded the patch from gentoo bug [01:18] saved the links with the same names [01:19] and running the patch [01:19] Suncross, type cd untitl and then hit tab it should auto complete the name tell me if it works [01:19] orenji: the patch from the gentoo site or /usr/bin/patch? :3 [01:19] orenji: ubuntu is not gentoo [01:19] gentoo site [01:19] iceroot: so? [01:19] sourcecode is the same. [01:19] DaZ_: sometimes its patched [01:20] DaZ_: or do you think everythin in ubuntu is the same as in gentoo? [01:20] how can i add an character in a empty key in my keyboard? [01:20] Purpley1: It does not seem to be working [01:20] mister_roboto: But touching the file doesn't do anything visible in Ubuntu, or does it? [01:20] pjotter: it changes the timestamp, as i said. which is a visible effect [01:20] Purpley1: I am typing "cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled_folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC" [01:21] iceroot: it isn't? <: [01:21] frankely: maybe you can try different keyboard layout [01:21] ? [01:21] DaZ_: of course it isnt [01:21] pjotter: if you "ls -l /tmp/myfile" you can see the timestamp on the file changing to the latest time [01:21] i mean, is not a key that is in my keyboard [01:21] why? <: [01:21] mister_roboto: Ok, now I understand. Sorry Iḿ just a newbie in Ubuntu. Have to learn everything... [01:21] DaZ_: for e.g. look at origignal gnome and ubuntu-gnome [01:21] Suncross, go to places on your computer, then go to Desktop, then Change the folder untitled folder to untitled [01:21] DaZ_: ubuntu gnome is so much patched [01:21] pjotter: we all started there once :) [01:21] i wanna add this "¬" in the windows key [01:22] frankely: you want to type it without accessing the char map? [01:22] DaZ_: also ubuntu/debian sometimes using other parts then the original code [01:22] mister_roboto: I'll just check the timestamp of that file... see if it changes every minute :) [01:22] yes [01:22] DaZ_: also there are sometimes difference in ubuntu and debian paths [01:22] pjotter: it will. as long as you don't have a typo in your command :) [01:22] orenji, that is what i need [01:22] Purpley1: ok [01:22] well, --reinstall doesn't reinstall the pulse audio configs, nor does dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio. i think i'm boned. [01:23] actually i suppose i could dpkg -x the configs [01:23] mister_roboto: Don worry I tried the full command in a terminal first, and it worked [01:23] Hello. I'm attempting to do a network install of ubuntu as per these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet i need help with step 3, what is a wrapper? [01:23] Suncross, cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC [01:23] pjotter: while true; do ls -l /tmp/myfile; sleep 10; done [01:23] frankely: sorry, as far as I know, windows char map has shortcut, but only shortcut, I dunno for ubuntu charmap [01:23] pjotter: you can run that in your terminal to show it every 10 seconds [01:24] do swap partitions need to be upgraded to ext4? no right? how about boot partition? [01:24] Purpley1: Still no go :/ [01:24] mister_roboto: pjotter sounds like the same what "watch" is doing [01:24] howdeep: that's just a script. [01:24] mister_roboto: O great :) [01:24] I'm getting an error that "Package php5-suhosin is not available", any ideas? [01:24] Wavesonics: swap isn't ext partition. [01:24] Suncross, ok extract it to your desktop [01:24] thx DaZ_ how about boot? [01:24] doneill, super noob here.....what do i do with it? [01:24] running a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 [01:25] Purpley1: ok done [01:25] I'm using a netbook with 9.10. How do I convince apt-get to load packages from the USB stick, not /cdrom ? I assume this involves fixing sources.list [01:25] Wavesonics: leave it as it is, ext4 on /boot results in problems with grub1 [01:25] howdeep: you paste it into a file, then make it executible with: chmod +x myscript.sh [01:25] DaZ_ i upgraded to Grub2 [01:25] iceroot: he just wants to see cron work so i had him just touch a file in his crontab. quick, easy and visible [01:25] wm 5 [01:25] howdeep: then run it, ./myscript.sh Start [01:25] Wavesonics: still there's no gain from changing it to ext4 [; [01:25] mister_roboto: ok dindt read all [01:25] Suncross, What is it named? [01:26] mister_roboto: you may want to check out the 'watch' command ' ie: --> 'watch ls -l /path/to/file' [01:26] Purpley1: LinuxDrivers but should I extract the stuff in Audio again right? [01:26] howdeep: but this page looks pretty cool. are you a network admin? [01:26] Dr_Willis: i keep forgetting about that :) so used to doing it manually forever [01:26] so, I'm sorry... how to do the patch and compile the source? the original one has some errors on it [01:26] but you can do that of course.. [01:26] nevermind, universe is disabled for some reason [01:27] orenji, what are you patching? [01:27] doneill, no, trying to install ubuntu on an older machine that won't boot from usb [01:27] Dr_Willis: i've worked on so many unixes that i just learn the portable set of stuff that works everywhere [01:27] svgalib [01:27] doneill, do you know an easier way? [01:27] Ohay thar. === Guest4551 is now known as DesuDesuDesu [01:27] anyone know if a packager has brook packaged for 9.10 ? [01:27] Purpley1: Ok it is all extracted. [01:28] Why is this nick registered? [01:28] nandesuka? [01:28] harro [01:28] saru desu [01:28] saa~~ [01:28] howdeep: i'm sorta lazy, i would probably just take the hard disc out, put it into a system with a cdrom and install it to the hard disc, then put the hard disc back. [01:28] saruchansaruchan [01:28] mister_roboto: Hurray!!! It works :) [01:28] pjotter: ok, you're on your way now! [01:28] doneill, i should probably do that....but this is kind of a learning experience [01:28] orenji could you PM me the patch and such? [01:29] doneill, i could also just find a dvd drive that works... [01:29] mister_roboto: Feel like Iǘe really accomplished something :) It may not be much.. but to me it's great. Thanks for your help. [01:29] emm... let me se... it's hard to copy paste since I'm totally on terminal [01:29] Suncross, What is the directory you extracted it in? [01:29] howdeep: i hear ya. well, this document doesn't really explain to you what is happening, just spoon feeding instructions... [01:29] pjotter: every step forward in learning is a good thing, even if small. :) [01:29] Purpley1: '/home/suncross/Desktop/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3' [01:30] howdeep: basically you'll be booting linux from data provided to the client PC via the network bootrom. so basically you need to set-up and environment from which the bootrom can coordinate network configuration and of course a repository from where the files it receives will come from on your server. [01:30] mister_roboto: One question: How do I stop the script in the terminal? [01:30] bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=176440 [01:30] pjotter: oh, just -c out of it [01:30] Suncross, Do you see the install file? [01:30] upgrading FS while drinking, why did i do both @ the same time [01:31] yes [01:31] mister_roboto: Whoops.. Ctrl-c.. that one was easy. Thgought I had pressed it. :S [01:31] another one [01:31] bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=177228 [01:31] doneill, i see [01:31] howdeep: this bootpd is a boostrapping daemon. basically, it will set up the client netboot rom to receive the files, and tell it where/how to get them. the wrapper script is unnecessary for a one-time installation though, this script would be used for a person installing ubuntu many times over a period of days, weeks, or months. [01:32] howdeep: if i were you i'd just open a terminal and type: sudo bootpd -d 4 -c /var/lib/tftpboot [01:32] hi [01:32] Purpley1: Yes [01:32] hi [01:32] doneill, i'll try that.......also noob question: what is a daemon? [01:32] lol i just got servbanned from another server is this win? [01:32] howdeep, it's a process that runs in the backroung [01:33] howdeep: you have asked a sordid question with a million answers, all of which WRONG depending on who answers. basically, it's the linux equivelant of a Windows Service. [01:33] WRONG! [01:33] hehe [01:33] ^- ty [01:33] DesuDesuDesu: ask your ubuntu question and wait [01:33] i download americans army file to install it's already installed but it gives me these error armyops [01:33] ./armyops-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:33] Oh, I have to ask an ubuntu question? [01:33] I thought this was general chat. [01:33] !find libstdc++.so.5 [01:33] Suncross, right click on install, go to propertites and go to permissions and click allow file executing as program [01:33] Package/file libstdc++.so.5 does not exist in karmic [01:33] Åh vad fint det är med dualboot === joel_ is now known as jolaren [01:33] doneill, okay. i understand. all my experience is with windows so i can relate to that pretty well [01:33] subspider: im not sure if that game has been updated to work with the newer linux disrtos in some time. [01:34] doneill, just installed this about a week ago, still learning the ropes [01:34] Purpley1: Done. [01:34] howdeep: daemon: A program or process that sits idly in the background until it is invoked to perform its task, for example, the apache webserver runs as a daemon [01:34] howdeep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29 [01:34] i download the file from there [01:35] Dr_Willis, do you know if theres a channel were i can talk to americans army people [01:35] Suncross, now double click on install and hit "run" [01:35] someone can someone can tell me where can i find the moduels ? [01:35] modules* [01:36] subspider: there are lots, I'm a vet Army person, but it would probably be off-topic here :-) [01:36] Prupley1: Ok I did that. Nothing seemed to pop up after though. It didnt even ask me for my password or anything. [01:36] jcc1: he probably means the game :) [01:36] :-) [01:36] I compiled one module but when I try modprobe, the computer tell me that it does not exist, what do i need to do ? [01:36] either way, off-topic here [01:37] true [01:37] jeromel: dont forget the make install at the end [01:37] subspider: are you running ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? [01:37] yes i did it [01:37] mister_roboto: But why can't Scheduled Tasks run firefox? What is the problem with that? Can it only run non-GUI-like apps? [01:37] 64 bit [01:37] i did all the entries on the make to be sure.. [01:37] lol [01:38] pjotter: maybe you have to specify display. [01:38] jeromel: copy the file .ko manually? [01:38] it is not a .ko [01:38] doneill, 64 bits [01:38] oh ues i have a .ko [01:38] DaZ_: You mean add some arguments to the firefox command or something? [01:38] junky, where do i need to place it? [01:39] pjotter: it could run gui stuff too if it can get a connection to the X server. there are many problems with that related to being authorized to connect. also, it's generally not something you want a background job to be doing. cron is more for maintenance type stuff that you want to run in the background on a schedule [01:39] pjotter: yes [; [01:39] Hey does anyone know of a good guide for getting VDPAU to work properly on Karmic with mplayer? Ive been playing with this for hours with little success. [01:39] subspider: then you could snurgle it, but it would take some fiddling [01:39] jcc1, can you tell me the channels [01:39] ok, I've got ubuntu running and I want to connect to my wireless AP, do I really need to enter a BSSID/mac address of the access point? [01:39] R[a]ndom: i use vadpau, but i didn't use a guide [01:39] purpley1: What should I do now? [01:39] pjotter: in fact, your gui program *was* running, just not connecting to the X server :) [01:39] jeromel: whats the kernel module you're trying to use? [01:39] bluetooth [01:39] mister_roboto: ok! :) [01:40] I think I have found [01:40] pjotter: it probably can, but what is the point? usually gui programs are designed for human input/output so it is assumed the the human will start it. cron/sched tasks was designed for things that only need to run once, in the background with no human interaction [01:40] doneill, you're using both the output plugin and the codec? (the -vo and the -vc?) [01:40] Suncross, Describe to me what happened, I can't run it [01:40] doneill, i know if i use wine it work but its emulated so actually it's not so smooth playing [01:40] doneill, on my install the vdpau video codecs arent installed [01:40] is there /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/bluetooth ? [01:40] mister_roboto: So now I have about 100+ instances of firefox running on my computer? [01:40] R[a]ndom: i dunno, it has always "just worked" for me. let me try again... [01:40] pjotter: no. it "ran" but just failed at startup [01:41] Purpley1: I clicked on install, and it asked me if I wanted to run it, run it in a terminal, or close, and I chose run like you told me. After that, nothing happened. [01:41] hello. i have a flashplugin problem. when i try to watch video on youtube i can only hear sound, but not see video [01:41] doneill, thanks. cause it seemed to 'just work' for me too, except my processor usage didn't drop like it should. You should get under 10% usage with 1080P files from what ive read [01:41] jcc1: You're right. That is true. I just wanted to test it, so I thought of something visable, like an app opening. [01:41] r[a]ndom: looks like i can't help you: mplayer: symbol lookup error: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tags [01:41] hehe [01:41] Yet another Karmic bug (tm). [01:42] maybe I'll start a forum thread [01:42] Suncross, Ok in your terminal cd /home/suncross/Desktop/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3 [01:42] r[a]ndom: actually, check out the mythtv wiki [01:42] off topic comment: I was having a dream last night, iwas doing some binary coding stuff(even though i dont know binary)i was just like 0101011101010111...2!Thats when i woke up... horifying isnt it [01:42] Purpley1: Ok I am there. [01:42] r[a]ndom: they use VDPAU a lot, and i'm sure i saw a section for mplayer playback with it. [01:42] pjotter: the app, to test best would be something like "mail", a gui would require the -display switch so it would know where to run. Firefox knows because it was invoked from X, not cron [01:42] junky, on my laptop i have a "driver" folder but not on the computer i try to install the module ? [01:43] doneill, yeah thanks. i have been browsing some of their stuff. Sadly a lot of it seems to apply only to mythtv itself and not standalone mplayer. though perhaps i just dont understand the relation [01:43] Suncross, type ./install.sh [01:43] junky, oh no my mistake, [01:43] jcc1: we went an even lighter-weight approach and just touch'd a file every minute and then checked the timestamp [01:44] mister_roboto: good example, too, and probably quicker for a newbie [01:44] r[a]ndom: the mythtv video playback system uses mplayer though, and in the setup you specify parameters [01:44] purpley1: It said "bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory" [01:44] junky, the .ko is in this place : /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/bluetooth [01:44] hey [01:44] Purpley1: However, I am infact in its directory. [01:45] Hi! [01:45] Suncross, type ./install [01:45] Purply1: ah ok there it goes [01:45] jcc1: I completely understand now. Thanks for explaining. [01:45] Suncross: you need the . before the slash [01:45] can I do fresh install in same partition of my old ubuntu hardy, without reformatting? [01:45] can any1 tell my why after setting AllowOverride All in all apache conf, .htaccess still wont work? [01:46] Are there any audio problems with Karmic I should know about as a developer? [01:46] Purpley1, Ok it says I need to reboot to activate driver. [01:46] f1lt3r: just one, pulseaudio [01:46] Ok. Thanks a lot , people. I really need some sleep now. See you. [01:46] whats the beef doneill ? [01:46] pjotter: no prob [01:46] Purpley1, I am going to be right back [01:46] Xfact: i think the installer will want you to format.. I woudent avise reinstalling without reformating [01:46] R[a]ndom: if you want to find out if you have mplayer with vdpau just run this in a terminal mplayer -vo help it list the codecs if you see vdpau your good to go [01:46] Suncross, OK [01:46] f1lt3r: well, pulseaudio rarely works. [01:46] Xfact: you can try only removing files, should work [; [01:46] f1lt3r: or only runs for 10 minutes, then locks up. depending on platform. [01:46] ok [01:46] ctmjr, i have the vdpau -vo but not the neccessary -vc [01:46] ctmjr, so its only using it for displaying, not decoding [01:46] i disabled it in x11 anyway, but i'm having problems getting firefox audio to work [01:47] DaZ_: yes...I want to remove...and want to reinstall the newer version [01:47] f1lt3r: yep, i have something of a hate on for pulse. and avahi, but mostly pulse. [01:47] Xfact: rm ? [; [01:47] :) [01:48] Xfact: it's easier to split /home from / and reformat it whenever you want. [01:48] Hi can anyone possibly help me figure out why Ubuntu can see my printer but the Forward button in System > Admin > Printing is still grayed out? [01:48] 'Home' is the most important folder of whole Ubuntu? [01:48] Xfact: userfiles? [01:49] ohh...

[01:50] Umeaboy: there is a unoified icon somewhere [01:51] ctmjr, 210 [01:51] jcc1: as my speed of learning, and linux is interesting, I guess, within 1month I will be a middle class user... :) [01:51] yes, tap f12 like it was the last thing you'll ever do! [01:51] iflema: I beg you pardon? [01:51] supports feature set C so its fine ctmjr [01:51] well.... [01:51] DaZ_: I know I'm not, and I've been using it since 1996 [01:51] Has anyone here got experience using svn? [01:52] Umeaboy: yes [01:52] mister_roboto: Okey.

I'll try there. thanks man. [01:53] dose ne one know witch ubuntu dist is best for gameing with nvidia ge force 9500gt [01:53] danny: they will all be the same [01:53] danny: it dosent matter. [01:53] Umeaboy: if it's not mandriva-specific you can ask it imo [01:53] R[a]ndom: i never had a issue with it so no trouble shooting skills and your welcome [01:53] mandriva linux, aka mandrake, also known as the newbie's linux before knoppix or ubuntu came out [01:54] I was just commenting that it is an ongoing learning experience with every iteration and every distro and every upgrade [01:54] Random question here - does anyone know how I can add a shell script to my applications menu? [01:54] danny: won't make a difference.. just make sure you're using the nvidia drivers provided [01:54] Well it kind of IS, but as I said......the Mandriva-people are asleep.

[03:55] danny: personally i suggest just using the system->admin->hardware-drivers tool and install what it suggests [03:55] Can't use the nvidia restricted driver it seems, think it has something to do with a recent update perhaps? [03:55] rooth: the new CUDA support? [03:56] Dr_Willis: found it, /sys was not mounted yet, its not on that page [03:56] Wow...they still didn't fix the video driver issue?

[03:58] Younder: much like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1265224 [03:58] catvsrat: i normally grab whatever orieally books i find on the bargin bins. :) [03:58] right, but name some [03:58] Just wonder if its just me or something major. [03:58] Dr willimas [03:58] Dr willis [03:59] ok [03:59] catvsrat: depends on what exacctly you want to learn.. most books on 'linux' are focused on specific topics.. or are so 'for beginners' they are useless after you read them once. :) [03:59] ya i ma begineer so want to start from the bottom [03:59] dr_willis, this is what it says when i try to install the 195 drivers thrugh synaptic package manager E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-195-libvdpau_195.30-0ubuntu0~ppa1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1', which is also in package libvdpau1 0 [03:59] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-195_195.30-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa5_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 [04:00] catvsrat: i find mos tof the 'for dummies' and so forth books.. not worth the $$$ - find them on the barginbin/used if you can. [04:00] Dr_Willis. to remove cups completely should i compile a custom kernel? [04:00] casa: what does cups have to do with a custome kernel? its the printing service. [04:01] so purging out removes it completely? [04:01] Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives console mode. Ctrl-Alt-F7 gives X windows mode. [04:01] cups is not a part of the kernel [04:01] 'purge' option removes the config files... [04:01] Dr Willis: [04:01] I like $coffee with my _cups_ [04:01] you can goback and forth [04:01] as well as the binaries/program files [04:01] thanks [04:01] Gnarwal: DD cups. :) [04:02] ya Dr.Willis i understand that. i absolutely don want priting support on my machine [04:02] * Dr_Willis wonders why bother with removing cups. [04:02] casa: dont plug in a printer then? [04:02] Younder, to clarify, Linux provides virtual terminals on Ctrl+Alt+F1 through Ctrl+Alt+F12 (I think F12) [04:02] X11 will usually run on F7 [04:02] but if you have multiple X sessions, they will also be on F8, F9, etc [04:03] casa, just don't set the cuspd to run [04:03] i have a lexmark printer and itd on the desktop so all printing is done there. my notebook does'nt need it. removing cups is to remove it from updates [04:03] help you guys! im on a tty4 shell (?) and my tty7 is "out of range" for my screen. i am running a game with wine and it has changed my display to 65hz! [04:03] casa, it may also prevent you from saving to postscript or pdf [04:03] casa: and what are you expecting to gain from all this? [04:04] a minimal system and save a little bandwidth. [04:04] is there any keyboard shortcut to close the running application (or to kill) [04:04] casa, cups isn't going to gain you much of either [04:04] casa: i doubt if you will save much of anything. [04:05] the one from xchat.org [04:05] oh. well then i will disable the service and leave it there. thank you for your time and insights Dr.Willis and mhall119 [04:06] i doubt if disabling the service will gain much of anythign either. :) but have fun [04:06] * Dr_Willis has all his pc's set to print to teh shared printer on the servers [04:06] casa, just remember that you may not be able to print to PDF without it runnin [04:06] hey i installed a bunch of repos in ubuntu-tweak and they always worked but all out of nowhere i get a bunch of errror messages about them missng keys , where did they keys go [04:06] ??

Use at your own risk. [04:08] maybe they changed their keys :P [04:08] anyone? i want to get back to my gnome desktop! i'm in a tty shell... [04:08] to make u update and know u updated [04:08] running sirc [04:08] startx [04:08] webbb82, the missing keys error means they packages are signed by a key that you haven't trusted yet [04:08] or ctrl alt f8 [04:08] or seven [04:08] webbb82: if the 3rd party repos are ppa on launchpad they may have changed directories and keys [04:08] or whatever [04:08] ok [04:08] thanks [04:08] nickkontos, have you tried killall nameofprogram.exe [04:09] hello all [04:09] webbb82, just make sure that the new keys belong to the developers before you trust them [04:09] ^^ [04:09] I have a webcam on my HP laptop, how can I get it to work? [04:09] usually software came with the laptop [04:09] I mean which software that I can download to work with it? [04:09] look in the start menus [04:09] it's unlikely, but possible, that someone has gained unauthorized access to the ubuntu-tweak repository and uploaded modified, malicisous packages [04:10] hp look for hp cam in the same area [04:10] or video [04:10] etc [04:10] !webcam | etzerd [04:10] etzerd: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [04:10] why is that when i mount a cifs share as a non priv user, when it is mounted the owner of the share is a nother user (another nono prov) with the group libuuid...WTF?

[04:12] how to set the blue inline input of my audio card for the speakers? In windows it would be easy with it's sound manager [04:12] that's not exactly getting back to it, but if it's an acceptable solution go for it [04:12] mhall119 only if I knew how... [04:13] I set *.rb file to open with text editor (in properties), why does it keep saying "It's an executable file do you want to run it?" when i open it? [04:13] nickkontos, sudo service gdm restart [04:13] Alan502: that would be for the side speakers? [04:13] ok trying.... [04:13] *rear? [04:13] alternately, xrandr will let you change refresh rates from the command line [04:13] it's ubuntu 9.10+ nautilus [04:14] scunizi, i use the green output for my headphones, and the blue one for speakers, the one for the side speakers i guess [04:14] mhall119 thanks! [04:15] Alan502: ah.. I bought a cheap switch that the headphones plug into.. hit a button and headphones.. hit it again and speakers.. about $14.. I've never been able to get the other channel on my card working.. :( [04:15] How do I make the nasty flickering when I scroll go away on my M3 from ATI (using the r128 driver) -- it gets really annoying [04:15] behold!

[04:17] if sandwich = good, then eat, else feed to dog [04:17] Alan what card is it? [04:17] rofl [04:17] well, ok thanks :) [04:17] your name reminds me of the song [04:18] I therefore hate you (joke) [04:18] kneeskrap3r: when you type Alan it won't highlight him.. type Alan for auto completion :) [04:19] Alan502 which card are you using?

[04:27] mindvirus: sure, try to describe it best you can. someone else might also see & know the answer :) [04:28] mediaprodigy: right.. if you have any encryption enabled on the router .. good to disable for the test.. also make sure ssid broadcast is on [04:28] the live cd... you are referring to the install cd [04:28] mediaprodigy: yes.. the one that comes up with a full desktop [04:28] I currently have a single drive partition with LVM. Would I be able to add a second drive for RAID0 without reinstalling? [04:28] MikeChelen: Well, I got a PPA with updated packages -- namely, xorg-edgers. I removed the PPA because it caused crashes. I am trying to roll back the versions to these packages. When I do apt-get install --reinstall, it says the packages cannot be downloaded (because the PPA isn't on my computer anymore).

[04:30] mediaprodigy: well.. if it's already installed then do it with that.. didn't know if you had installed. [04:30] it's installed.. but am not very agile at ubuntu yet. [04:31] mediaprodigy: it's a steep learning curve but worth it.. [04:31] mindvirus: maybe check the version number you want, and see if there is an apt-get option to specify that version? the synaptic program might help too [04:32] can someone explain to me the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu...

[04:34] mediaprodigy: just have a look at the screen shots.. but gnome would be "close" [04:34] obviously theres some differences. but it would feel some what "familiar" to you [04:34] im trying to work in ror [04:34] Gnewt, well i would say not at all :/ [04:34] karmic is nice and all but jaunty seems alot more stable [04:34] KiRiLoS: regarding what? [04:35] [06:34:48] Gnome == Mac... [04:35] ah [04:35] does that mean [04:35] that i can install mac type apps? [04:35] no === Remi-o is now known as HBX [04:35] It's definately closer than the default kde but you know,there's really a difference :P [04:35] I just personally think that Gnome is closer to the Mac interface [04:35] other people seem to disagree ;) [04:36] but I prefer Gnome anyways so I am biased [04:36] What is the most elementary command line command to find out if an audio CD is inserted in the tray of the CD/DVD drive?

[04:39] er [04:39] basically [04:39] expand from one drive to two mirrored drives [04:39] vegombrei: nominal.. it just feels different.. programs are different.. terminology can be a bit different because of the technology used in the desktop [04:39] Gnarwal, i think that raid and lvm can coexist [04:39] dark: Gnewt ;) [04:40] hehehe sorry [04:40] dark: Basically, I have a single-disk LVM partition and I'm wondering if I can mirror it [04:40] RAID0 [04:40] and maybe if you mirror one hd to another (with dd?) you could build a raid [04:40] so, LVM on top of RAID [04:40] hmm [04:40] maybe [04:40] i don't know if raid0 is just two copies [04:41] is there some reason apt really really does not like package upstart missing? [04:41] i think there is also an error-correcting code behind the scenes [04:41] joshua___, that's maybe because upstart is part of the boot process [04:41] Until just recently I had only been holding on to Vista for the webcam, but yesterday Vista decided to tell me it was over by crashing and I am just curious if there is any solution to my problem. I have an Asus c90s and the webcam doesn't work when I go into a terminal and type lsusb I get "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05e3:0503 Genesys Logic, Inc." which I believe to be the webcam. I am using Ubuntu 9.10. [04:42] there is sites to check the compatibility with linux (in general) [04:42] in a chroot jail I don't think so [04:42] can a dircetory be symlinked? [04:42] keastes: yes [04:42] if it's compatible but don't work out of box maybe you have to compile the driver yourself etc [04:43] keastes: a directory can be the target of a symlink [04:43] Spiderman: sometimes it helps to google "Genesys Logic Ubuntu" [04:43] jlasjglajla [04:44] you really want raid0? [04:44] no redundancy? [04:44] if you want raid0, then it's better to simply add the other disk to the volume group [04:44] so i rebooted and nothing [04:44] Is anyone familar with Upside down ternet? [04:45] i did not notice anything.. was i supposed to see a window.. [04:45] dark: Not sure. I really just want a backup :P [04:45] !anyone | AvonGenesis [04:45] AvonGenesis: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:45] Gnewt, raid is not a backup [04:45] well [04:45] not a backup per se [04:45] I disabled the ssh option in gconfig-editor -> apps -> gnome-keyring. Now I have to always enter the password to login to my ssh server. Why isn't ssh-add doing the jobb ater I disabled the gnome-keyring? [04:46] but a way of keeping my data if my drive dies [04:46] i have 3x1 tb hdds sda-ext3 sdb-fat32 sdc-ext3 .. been using ubuntu since a few months now .. however i need to install win7 for the gf, if i installed it on sdb, will win7 sort out the mbr and gimme somekinda bootloading options??? [04:46] Gnewt, then you want raid 1 (raid 0 gives you the full size, raid 1 writes everything twice) [04:46] brb [04:46] Oops [04:46] yes, I want RAID1 [04:46] vegombrei, seriously doubt it [04:46] ririiryo [04:47] i agree [04:47] Gnewt, maybe you could consider making backups with lvm "snapshot" feature (maybe with cron etc) [04:47] dont think its possible [04:47] Gnewt: What do you mean by: "you could just check for the filetype... usually"? [04:47] dark: thanks :) [04:47] I have tried this search many times and all the answers I find refer to other versions of ubuntu. I have tried to fix the problem just like they did in 9.04 but the files never install correctly. [04:47] bullgard: cd into the /cdrom, then run an ls and check if they are audio files [04:47] hello [04:47] hello need help. how to get back Network Manager Applet in the ubuntu 9.01 [04:47] I'm trying to play a prank on my sibling for using up all the bandwidth, so i want to use upside down ternet on him. I've been following the guide here: http://www.worldofvishnu.com/tech/hack-the-computers-in-your-lan/ but after i execute hunt, i dont get the menu he describes [04:48] hello zhen_zhou [04:48] Gnewt: you only running two drives?

[04:49] i'm getting a strange error when i try to start pulse audio: "W: main.c: D-Bus name org.pulseaudio.Server already taken. Weird shit!" [04:49] 打中文把 [04:49] i've checked, but pulse is only running once [04:49] gemilang: Often you get it back by quitting NetworkManager and restarting it. [04:50] mezquitale, some one has lossing it. then i can find how to get it back [04:50] !ch | maohengcong [04:50] maohengcong: Das Schweizer Team finden sie unter #ubuntu-ch, deutschsprachigen Support bekommen sie aber in #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de oder #edubuntu-de.

Searching thru the bug lists I See many many similar issues, but am not sure what to try [04:50] something [04:50] chinese is #ubuntu-ch ?

[04:54] scunizi: '~$ ls /media/cdrom0' does obtain no output. What does this indicate? [04:55] why... does ubuntu ship with pulse... [04:55] seriously [04:55] gemilang, add it back, rigt click on the panel "add to panel"-->"application launcher", it's under-->system-->administration->network, in my ubuntu studio distro [04:55] it's like ordering a sandwich and having it arrive with a complimentary dogend on top of it. [04:55] doneill: Thanks. [04:56] doneill, that's a good question, youll have to ask the ubuntu developers, its was implemented quite bad in ubuntu, pulse audio makes my desktop and laptop cry [04:56] my pulse audio log is telling me my snd_hda_intel driver has a bug. yeah, it does, because i have an SB Audigy... [04:57] doneill, i suggest you fild a bug report using launchpad [04:57] nah. --purge. [04:57] like i did with avahi. [04:58] doneill, is there a way to purge npviewer as well? [04:58] Gnewt: '~$ cd /cdrom; ls' does obtain no output. What can I conclude? [04:58] haha man i hear you [04:58] doneill: my kubuntu install tonight disabled sound after all the updates.. I found that pulse hadn't been installed at all.. after installing it worked with my nvidia chipset.. wierd [04:58] That your cdrom drive is not mounted at /cdrom... [04:58] Here's a really nasty bug for you: running do-release-upgrade inside a chroot jail will clobber your bootloader [04:58] i can improve my PC performance i million fold with killall npviewer [04:59] skunizi: that's the catch, if i remove pulse, i have to rebuild all the apps i have that use it exclusively. [04:59] Gnewt: is he still having issues getting a directory listing at /media/cdrom0? might be /media/cdrom [04:59] scunizi: thanks [04:59] bullgard: try replacing /cdrom with /media/cdrom [05:00] bullgard: if that doesn't work use /media/cdrom0 ... unless you're trying to get to the guest additions for virtualbox.. then it's a bit different [05:01] 23 [05:01] Gnewt: '~$ cd /media/cdrom; ls' does obtain no output. What can I conclude? [05:01] bullgard: if you have more than on cdrom then /media/cdrom1 is typically the second [05:01] bullgard: that you're *doing it wrong* [05:02] or the drive is dead [05:02] Im trying to setup my remote in lirc but it says the deamon isnt running.. [05:02] How do I enable the daemon, if this is the case? [05:02] jolaren: you can run it by hand [05:02] jolaren: try running lircd from the prompt [05:03] scunizi: I do not use any virtualization software. [05:03] k [05:03] doneill, no such file or directory === myse|f_ is now known as myse|f [05:03] aarrrggg... i just reorganized everything to get my WiFi router up on the wall, away from everythign, same w\ my wireless mediacenter, tweaked the wifi settings, everything to try and get a solid 19.1 Mbps between the two. Because thats what I need to stream 1080p. But I just can't get it, resting between 17-18Mbps. Is there maybe some way I could compress the stream or something? [05:03] scunizi: I do not use more than one cd/dvd drive. [05:03] bullgard: possibly /media/sr0 .. my drive is linked by that [05:03] Hey when I restart while running off a liveCD to boot my native OS when It says remove disc and press enter, when I press enter all I get is a '^M' at the prompt, any reason why and I got out of it by doing CTRL+ALT+DEL and then holding the power button, is that safe? [05:04] CodeTBone: yes [05:04] bullgard: ok.. so what happens when you "cd /media/cdrom0" then issue a ... ls [05:04] jolaren: hm, mythbuntu? [05:04] CodeTBone; what it would do after press enter is kill system power anyway [05:04] doneill, No, ubuntu [05:04] Cool, yeah It should but it doesnt, any idea why? [05:05] Wavesonics, what router and client hardware??? [05:05] sudo apt-get update [05:05] vcdssgf [05:05] scunizi: I do not understand your message: 'that you're *doing it wrong*'. Can you say it in other words, please? [05:05] jolaren: well, without lircd, i don't imagine you'll get much from your IR device. unless it created a /dev/input/eventX device, in which case you would just inform lirc to use that instead. [05:05] hey is UNR any better in 9.04 than in 9.10? I have an asus eeePC and the wireless didn't get detected. [05:05] All the other LiveCDs ive used have all shutdown fine [05:05] bullgard: are you trying to look at the files on your cdrom? [05:05] Is it sane to put a full version of ubuntu 9.10 on the netbook and install netbook specific kernel? Will that give me the same optimizations as UNR? [05:06] doneill, xbmc picks it up fine thought [05:06] bastid_raZor: I'd like to do exact work and no guesswork. Sorry to say that. [05:06] Router: D-Link 108G, File Server: Ubuntu 9.10 Server 64bit, custom hardware, hardwired into the router., MediaCenter: ASRock 330HT-BD Windows 7 Pro 64bit (XBMC, Boxee, WMC, i got em all ;) ) === jeremy is now known as Jkessler [05:07] The D-Link also has a 8Db antena slapped on it, and is on the best channle for my location here [05:07] Wavesonics, what is the actual device in the Windows client? [05:08] and B is disabled, only G is broadcasting [05:08] jolaren: then likely it is providing keyboard events :) in which case, you don't/shouldn't need lirc. [05:08] You mean the WiFi in the ASRock? It's integrated, on board [05:08] scunizi: What I am trying, I have clearly stated at the outset: I'd like to find out if an audio CD is inserted in the tray of the CD/DVD drive. [05:08] now I cant even run LIRC [05:09] Wavesonics, including antenna? or is it just a stock duck or? [05:09] does anyone know how i can force ubuntu to boot to tty rather than gui? [05:09] bullgard: /dev/sr0 .. not media [05:09] p1und3r: don't use gdm [05:09] no it's completely internal, no antenna, and from what i can tell, no way to hook one up [05:09] bullgard: well.. I wasn't around at the outset.. you won't get a listing of an audio cd.. open Rhythmbox or another player and see if you can play the cd.. to rip it to your harddrive use ripperx [05:09] Wavesonics, I've used a few onboards and they usually won't run at the specs... I highly recommend a solid PCI or at least a USB adaptor, either one with an external antenna [05:09] so the wireless n trendnet usb adapter.. plugged in and rebooted ubuntu nothing happened.. [05:10] Got a problem restarting my comp, each time I "Reboot" my system, it hangs at the end, where it should powercycle, forcing me to manually power cycle it, but on each startup, it's having to do an fsck, no text during the reboot process, any ideas on what I could do or what would resolve this? [05:10] this is garbage. i have to literally edit FIVE config files, as root, then configure the audio output devices in 3 different applications to get my audio to work. [05:10] Wavesonics, sounds like you have a solid enough router setup though, props for turning .11B off [05:10] Using Koala Karmic [05:10] will partioning the hd and installing windows.. installing the wireles card then intstall ubuntu [05:10] hhmmmm very interesting, i have a USB G laying around i think, let me give it a try, thx! [05:10] scunizi: I see. Rhythmbox certainly is not the most elemetary command for doing this. [05:10] blakkheim: where can i specify that? i'm looking in startup applications [05:10] will that make a difference [05:10] thx :D [05:10] p1und3r: it's a daemon, install something like rcconf to change it [05:11] Wavesonics, any time... and keep me posted, I like it when extensive years as a wireless engineer for HP can pay off still :P [05:11] bullgard: not a command.. a program listed at Applications>Sound & Video [05:11] How do i update my xorg.conf to my coputers settings? [05:11] Why is an upgrade of Karmic so heavy and slow on the same configuration that Jaunty was so slim and fast?? [05:11] hi. how do i exctract a .bz2 file in terminal ? [05:12] orudie: tar xvjf filename [05:12] orudie: tar xf filename [05:12] bastid_raZor: '~$ cd /dev/sr0; bash: cd: /dev/sr0: Not a directory' [05:12] Should I have just done a clean install of KArmic? [05:12] Why is Ubuntu so awesome? [05:12] blakkheim: don't need the "j" with tar anymore [05:12] apt--get [05:13] I think you still do if it's a seekable device [05:13] ^ not a seekable [05:13] scunizi: I know that already. This does not answer the question which I put here in this channel. [05:13] can someone help me. with a wireless n usb adapter [05:13] How do i update my xorg.conf to my coputers settings? [05:13] !repeat | danny [05:13] danny: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [05:13] blakkheim: when i run rcconf, gdm isn't enabled [05:14] bullgard: at this point I came in after your question.. and now I'm tired of helping with this.. good luck [05:14] p1und3r: you could just aptitude remove gdm [05:14] How to copy directorys that doesnt exist in target folder? [05:14] scunizi: Thank you. [05:14] blakkheim: im setting up an ubuntu server for the first time and i wanna use tty but im still new and wanna keep the safety of gnome [05:14] courpse: cp -R [05:14] courpse: you cannot copy a directory that doesn't actually exist [05:14] How do I get the functionality of jaunty back after doing an upgrade to karmic [05:14] That will ask to overwrite if directory/file exists? [05:15] p1und3r: you can keep gnome [05:15] ardchoille, If you re-read my question, i said that doesnt exist in target folder, :P [05:15] done365: what did you lose? [05:15] Speed [05:15] courpse: perhaps you need to phrase your question a bit better :P [05:15] so there was this one time at band camp... [05:15] blakkheim: the only way i know how to start gnome is /etc/init.d/gdm start [05:15] How do I run the lirc deamon? When trying to configure my remote It says it cant find the daemon === Tyler is now known as Guest25807 [05:15] blakkheim: sounds like removing gdm removes that too [05:15] and I cracked the WEP [05:15] ardchoille, perhaps you need to read the whole question. [05:15] with an ubuntu netbook [05:15] p1und3r: it would, but you could aptitude install gdm if you wanted it back [05:16] bullguard: try: isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 [05:16] joshua: It hogs memory, everything is slower, I think that it is just a bad upgrade, and would like to go back, perhaps to do a clean install later [05:16] blakkheim: rather than that i thought there would be a nice little config file somewhere oh well, ill hafta research [05:16] josh__, That will ask to overwrite directorys if they exist wont it? how do i make it only do dirs that doesnt exist in target? [05:16] p1und3r: gdm should be listed in rcconf if it's running [05:16] blakkheim: it's listed but it isn't checked [05:17] p1und3r: try sysv-rc-conf [05:17] !hardware [05:17] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:17] p1und3r: it's like rcconf but a little more advanced [05:18] doneill: it's a shame you didn't at least *attempt* to resolve the issue with me, since I maintain those packages. [05:18] doneill: but whatever, here's some rope. Have at it, and good luck. [05:19] blakkheim: gdm is again listed with nothing enabled for it at all levels [05:19] blakkheim: weird :O [05:19] p1und3r: hmm.. and it does boot to the graphical login when you restart? [05:19] y [05:19] blakkheim: yeah im gunna reboot again and see wut happens [05:19] p1und3r: k [05:19] courpse: for FILE in sourcedir ; do ; if [ -d targetdir/`basename $FILE` ] ; then : ; else cp -R $FILE targetdir ; fi ; done [05:20] How do i update my xorg.conf to my coputers settings? [05:20] blakkheim: yeah just booted in to x [05:20] josh__, nm m8, i just found out about cp -u. [05:20] blakkheim: maybe if i disable "X11-common" ? [05:22] danny, Xorg -configure [05:22] with sudo [05:22] I need to delete a plugins folder located /usr/lib/mozilla , but it will not let me, I have no permissions to do so. can some one help me threw the terminal to delete this folder? [05:22] is anyone here using a wireless n usb adapter.. [05:22] if so what brand are you using? [05:23] can i have a single user with 2 aliases? [05:23] woodyjlw, remove the plugins and addons from mozilla plugins and addons manager [05:23] Got a problem restarting my comp, each time I "Reboot" my system, it hangs at the end, where it should powercycle, forcing me to manually power cycle it, but on each startup, it's having to do an fsck, no text during the reboot process, any ideas on what I could do or what would resolve this? using: 2.6.31-17-generic the only options I got from /proc/cmdline: root=UUID=69e5b635-039c-40a3-9227-08f7c5e4be33 ro quiet splash Using Koala Karmic [05:23] Hilikus: I believe you create two entries in the passwd file with same uid and home dir [05:23] 32bit [05:24] anybody can tell me shortly , What is 'Source Code'? [05:24] Tonisius: try maybe removing usplash and see if something important hides behind it [05:24] woodyjlw: why do you need to delete it , just use sudo del /usr/lib/mozilla/* && sudo del /usr/lib/mozilla [05:24] Xfact: source code is the code that is written to compile a program [05:24] Tonisius, can you press "e" at grub and omit quit and splash and see if any error appears [05:24] Xfact, the preferred form for editing a program [05:24] obaid: does that work for shutdown? [05:25] I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? [05:25] nope, i thought are starting [05:25] obaid: ok, will try that [05:25] Xfact, computer programs can have various forms; one can use a compiler to transform from one form to another. the form the computer usually recognizes is called object code, and the form the human beings usually write and read is called source code [05:26] woha....ok ok sounds useful (9@%$ I didn't understand anything...) But thanks for describing.... :) [05:26] Tonisius, i couldnt understand ur problem, can u say again [05:26] Xfact, main() { puts("hello"); } [05:26] Xfact, this is the source code of a program that displays hello on the screen [05:27] Xfact, but the computer doesn't run this directly, because the computer only runs instructions of a so-called "machine language" [05:27] keastes, sudo: del: command not found, firefox is messed up and I think it is plugins [05:27] dark just call it assembly [05:28] obaid, do i type that in terminal? [05:28] !del [05:28] obaid: rebooting the system, it never reboots... I can shut down the system using "shutdown -h now" but I can't reboot using the " [05:28] using the "reboot" command, it hangs [05:28] I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? [05:28] danny, looks like you have installed ubuntu server edition in some PC or something, is that correct ? [05:28] keastes, can not attach in yahoo mail and will freeze up when playing utube video [05:28] what is the *nix equivilent of dlel [05:28] del* [05:29] dark: well, the main story is I want to download Filezilla 3.3.1 from it's website...it's giving 2 options...one 'tar.gz' archive, and second is to download it's source code.... which I should dload? (I just want that program..) [05:29] how do i find all my emptry directories [05:29] keastes, i think i had a professor that preferred this term, but it was on portuguese ("Linguagem de Máquina") [05:29] obaid, no i have desktop editions [05:29] keastes: rm [05:29] and how do i list all my directories without the files in them [05:29] ardchoille: thanks [05:29] Xfact, couldn't you use synaptic instead? [05:29] woodyjlw: use rm in place of del [05:29] woodyjlw: DOS commands tend to creep into my mind sorry [05:30] Xfact, installing programs from source code can be tedious and even arcane. but installing from another form that is not .deb might don't work at all [05:30] but synpathic giving old version...(3.0) cause I am using Hardy [05:30] danny, so why do u want to configure Xorg, ubuntu does that [05:30] Xfact, did you searched for backports? [05:30] When running lirc I get these errors in the terminal [05:31] obaid, i was looking online and peoples xorg.conf is alot logger than mine i think its missing some data [05:31] I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? [05:31] keastes, lol np but...rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins': Is a directory [05:31] I cant copy them but they say I have alot of duplicates.. things are listed twice [05:31] Xfact, a program compiled to an operating system might not work on another. so if you don't have a version compiled for ubuntu hardy, you maybe will have to build from source [05:31] dark: What is backport? (I am totally new in linux...knowledge less) [05:31] obaid: removed the quiet/splash, rebuilt my grub's menu.lst to reflect this, I also turned off gdm before issuing a reboot. I get no errors, and all I have is: [05:31] danny: if you're using Karmic, xorg.conf isn't really used anymore, though you can create one if needed [05:31] danny, as long as your Xorg is working fine, a big xorg.conf or small one doesnt matter [05:32] woodyjlw: use gksudo nautilus and then delete them that way [05:32] woodyjlw: sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [05:32] woodyjlw: rm -r will delete directories [05:32] danny, anyway if you want Xorg to configure itself, backup your xorg.conf first, then in terminal type sudo Xorg -configure [05:32] dark: hummm.... complicated, well, thanks for try, I think I should be happy with old version :) [05:32] * Shutting down also... * Deconfiguring network interfaces... *Deactivating swap... * Will now restart [90.419613] Restarting System. _ [05:32] obaid, i was looking online how to enable composite extention how do i edit and save my xorg.conf [05:32] thanks that worked :) [05:33] danny: xorg.conf overides the defaults used by the system, I had to work that out in my latest Karmic quad monitor display setup. [05:33] Xfact, the program will never be updated on hardy, because ubuntu expect you to update everything at the same time (i.e. upgrade to another distro). but with a backport, you may use the new app on the old distro [05:33] woodyjlw: did you install those plugins via the package manager? [05:33] Xfact, there is a synaptic repository called "hardy-backports", maybe you should give a try [05:33] I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? [05:33] obaid: still hanging at the Restarting System message on the screen, no errors and such [05:33] Tonisius, why do you need 4 screens [05:34] tonisius, it says sudo: xorg: command not found [05:34] ardchoille, some but not all [05:34] danopia__: does it really matter? [05:34] no, it was just a question' [05:34] danny: it's not a command, but if you're using anything default in your Ubuntu installation, you have to create it yourself, since it doesn't exist [05:34] is there a better way to configure lirc then with gnome-lirc-properties? [05:34] woodyjlw: if you install something from the package manager, then you should uninstall it from the package manager, removing the directory won't uninstall it [05:35] danopia__: It's a monitoring system, it's watching 12 different websites [05:35] keastes, ah. being pedantic, machine language isn't quite the same thing as assembly language (and the difference was relevant in the context i was talking) [05:35] Tonisius, that just introduced more questions :P [05:35] ardchoille, ok I will try there too [05:35] each monitor is watching 3 different websites. [05:35] ardchoille, how do i enable the composite extension if the xorg file isnt used [05:35] danopia__: exactly, so it doesn't matter, I work in a NOC, and I am required to monitor a lot of diffferent graphs [05:35] dark as far as i know they are the same [05:35] hey could anyone help me with my update manager and why it won't update the linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic update [05:35] danny: you createa an xorg file so it can load the modules [05:35] danny: No idea, I don't waste time with compositing [05:36] tonisius, how do i make it and where? [05:36] danny: read up on documentation, please ask in #Ubuntu [05:36] dark: there no such file named hardy-backports in the synaptic..... [05:36] i never had to modify my xorg conf, nvidia's tool managed to generate a working one for dualscreens [05:36] a xorg? [05:36] danny: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html [05:36] i did change it once to set up dualseating, which was funcitonal but i never used it [05:36] danny: seriously read up on documentation, wish my Rebooting problem had documentation I could find. [05:37] danny: I use my setup all the time, I use 2 dual monitor setups at home for my 2 desktops, and linked via network with Synergy [05:37] keastes, no, a program in assembly form must be assembled in order to work (programs written in assembly are a plain text describing the instructions; programs written in machine language are the instructions itself) [05:37] danopia__: I use my setup all the time, I use 2 dual monitor setups at home for my 2 desktops, and linked via network with Synergy [05:37] !ot | dark [05:37] dark: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:38] victor__: that functionality isn't enabled at this time [05:38] so, any ideas on how I can check what type of IPMI settings I'm using, or ACPI settings, not even sure what I should be looking into for my problem. [05:38] victor__: ask in Ubuntu... srsly.. [05:38] xD [05:38] dark, looking [05:38] but what if when i try to update it says error: cannot open '/dev/sdb' while attempting to get disk size [05:39] Tonisius: This is #ubuntu [05:39] keastes, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_difference_between_machine_language_and_assembly_language (ok, my last msg on this off-topic issue) [05:39] anyone ever run a teamspeak server?

Can you elaborate? [05:40] ardchoille, Lets say I navigate to /home/pictures/ [05:40] ardchoille: oh shiet... I'm in the wrong channel then [05:40] ardchoille: why am I here... [05:40] I know rm filename will remove a specific file, how do I remove everything in that map? [05:40] wait, cause I have karmic koala installed, Arhdsklfjhasld [05:41] jolaren: rm -r /path # but be careful with that [05:41] so sorry [05:41] jolaren : try rm -r [05:42] hi, my vga is not working [05:42] wolter, there is any error msg?

I am using mythbuntu 9.10 64bit and am using spdif/hdmi passthrough. when I log into xfce I get horrible noises via the speakers until I play something that uses the sound system. Once I stop playing something, it reverts back to the horrid noises. Has anyone experienced this? [05:43] dark, no.. but i just found out that nvidia-settings thing reads the monitor [05:43] are there any instructions on how to get Warcraft 3 to work with ubuntu: [05:43] ? [05:43] scunizi, worked fine, thanks [05:43] jolaren: cool [05:43] Lirc wont launch its daemon so I can't identify my remote [05:43] did you guys hear about intel getting caught with its compiler putting out inferior code for non-intel machines! [05:43] wolter, it worked before? [05:44] Voss: yes [05:44] It took forever to launch lirc cuz it complained about duplicates, I cleansed the whole map and now im redoin it [05:44] !ot | Voss [05:44] Voss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:44] wolter, the nvidia proprietary driver don't work with all cards (for example, the last version don't work with my own) [05:44] hey everyone does anyone have any experience getting ePSXe working with Ubuntu Karmic? [05:44] Does ubuntu use any of that intel compiled code? [05:45] Voss, no [05:45] Voss, the intel compiler is proprietary [05:45] dark: wolter there are several version of the proprietary card. each one ment for a different series.. if you're card is older then it won't be in the 1xx. series but might be in the 96.xx series [05:45] ubuntu generally compiles itself using gcc [05:45] just thought Id ask. [05:45] scunizi, exactly. for me the 173 will work [05:46] hello everyone! [05:46] dark: what card do you have? [05:46] WHy doesnt the lirc daemon launch? What am I doing wrong? [05:46] Ok I'm not getting any help over at #empathy, so i hoping someone here could help me. I'm wanted to try empathy but I am running across this error: "(empathy:7541): empathy-WARNING **: Error in empathy init: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal". How can i resolve this issue? === wolf is now known as Guest61319 [05:46] kpom, that sounds so ominous ;-) [05:46] how do i go about downgrading build-essential to a version that only requires gcc 4.3? [05:47] Hmm [05:47] kpomeroy, i had that same issue [05:47] gimme a sec [05:47] Voss, it's ok for them to put better code on their machines. that's because each processor family have it's own optimization tricks, and it's hard to optimize for all (lots of specific cases). gcc, being more general, doesn't optmize as well as icc (or else icc wouldn't be very useful) [05:48] Hello I've been running ubuntu without restarting for a couple of days and it feels now a bit slow, I'm using 1.1GB out of 2GB of ram and 500mb of swap. Is there a way to clear the swap? [05:48] dark scunizi, my card works perfect, and so does the vga output, now that i am testing with nvidi [05:48] a [05:49] scunizi, geforce fx 5200. but i am not with problems, wolter is [05:49] hi [05:49] wolter, so..? your problem is just solved [05:49] im having trouble with my wi fi driver [05:49] *? [05:49] oh god [05:49] dark, GCC that ubuntu uses is processor neutral, the intel compiler was using purposesly suboptimal compiling for non-intel even when a more optimal compiling was available for those cpus [05:49] dark: just curious... I was thinking the 185 or 190 driver would still work for you and give better performance [05:49] !wifi |desynch [05:49] desynch: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:49] 09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01) [05:49] does anyone know why, as soon as I start X I get horrible scratching and popping noises? I am using spdif/hdmi passthrough for my audio [05:50] dark yes.. i thought that my screen would clone automatically. After it didn't, I tried with the ubuntu screen resolution app, and it didn't work, but after reading in a forum i saw somebody try with the nvidia thing manager, and it worked for him. So it did for me [05:50] doesnt matter what wm/dm I use.. it still happens [05:50] My only problem now is the resolution... It can't fit that of my computer's [05:50] gumby what is your video adapter [05:51] kpomeroy, got it! [05:51] does anyone can help me install driver for this wi fi ?

Oh XBMC can run the remote control fine? [06:04] thanks Funzo [06:04] kinja-sheep, Yes, xbmc uses lirc - correct? [06:05] Darkedge: apt-cache search allows you to search [06:05] jolaren: irw - sends data from Unix domain socket to stdout [06:05] kinja-sheep, That [06:05] jolaren: Basically if you're getting the feedbacks, then the remote control is WORKING. You just have to map it toward XBMC. [06:05] kinja-sheep, That's jibbish to me, I dont understand [06:05] darkedge: you can also just open synaptic and search for it, might be easier [06:05] does anyone know where i can fix it so after boot it goes to tty1 instead of loading processing and sitting? [06:06] my clock is way off [06:06] jolaren: Yes, XBMC use LIRC. You have to "sudo service lirc stop" first (to stop the daemon).

[06:17] ardchoille, did you see my sources.list? [06:17] So I try to connect to some serial ports in Putty and it won't let me. "Unable to configure" or something. Is the com port locked? What's wrong? [06:17] yes [06:17] the .deb one [06:17] kinja-sheep, Is there no X related configurations? [06:17] desynch: Yes, and I don't see anything wrong with it. PErhaps wait a bit, a server might be down [06:17] woody, which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:17] 8.10 [06:17] hmmm .. [06:17] i am using LG GB210 mobile modem [06:17] strange [06:17] it was since this morning [06:17] woody which version of firefox are you using? [06:18] jolaren: I never had any experiences configuring with gnome-lirc-properties but certainly through commands. [06:18] desynch: I've had tha thappen and it corrected itself after a day and a half [06:18] i see [06:18] okay [06:18] 3.0.16 [06:18] kinja-sheep, Can ya tell me if there is a hid tester? that way this should be quite easy to configure [06:18] i am using LG GB210 mobile modem, its showing when i am connection the data cable, but cant browse net, i can browse net in the cell [06:19] when I look in plugins folder there is no adobe flashplayer [06:19] i am using LG GB210 mobile modem, its showing when i am connection the data cable, but cant browse net, i can browse net in the cell /abbar [06:19] I try to install it and it says it is there [06:19] jolaren: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/konig/IR_9836.jpg ? [06:19] does anyone know anything about opening a .chm? [06:19] amritbera: hmm not sure about your modem, the problem i had with mine was that it was the autorun thats meant for windows [06:19] desynch: are other programs able to do DNS lookups correctly? Are you using a web proxy (and if so, is it correctly configured in BOTH synaptic AND in System->Preferences->Network Proxy)? [06:19] woody, ok then uninstall it completely [06:19] jolaren: Well, irw is a tester. :) [06:19] woodyjlw: That is because you removed the directory earlier, I told you that wasn't the proper way to uninstall them [06:19] kinja-sheep, http://htpc.pandagor.com/uploads/777190.jpg [06:19] then reinstall it from adobe site [06:20] how do I uninstall completely [06:20] woody, use synaptic [06:20] woodyjlw: sudo apt-get remove packagename [06:20] timfrost, yes [06:20] kinja-sheep, Isnt it strange then that a windows hid tester finds the keys but not irw? [06:20] im using http proxy and it's configured correctly [06:20] the CD they gave is executable in windiws, but not for linux.. [06:20] woodyjlw: With normal use, there shouldn't be any need to ever remove a directory outside of your home folder. [06:20] Q. how would one open a .chm ? [06:21] kinja-sheep, And what kind of output should the irw give me? [06:21] were not talkng about removing the directory just uninstalling flash and reinstalling [06:21] Anyone have any idea? [06:21] what packagename do I put for removal [06:21] the CD they gave is executable in windiws, but not for linux.. /abbar [06:21] jolaren: Any result that will scroll as soon as you presses the remote control buttons. [06:21] kinja-sheep, I see [06:22] jolaren: Eg, it'll give a detailed information of "down" "up" "left" etc. [06:22] woodyjlw: What package name did you use when installing? [06:22] jolaren: What are you trying to accomplish though? You want to change/remap few buttons? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [06:22] adobe-flashplugin [06:22] kinja-sheep, Yes, in windows this is no-problem whatsoever.. I dont know why ubuntu is givin me such a hazzle [06:23] im removing adobe flashplayer completely then right? [06:23] yep [06:23] kinja-sheep, Wait up! I need to test something this guy wrote on a forum [06:23] jolaren: Windows and Unix are the whole different playgrounds. [06:24] E: Couldn't find package adobe [06:24] hello [06:24] I used jeremy@hp64:~$ sudo apt-get remove adobe flashplayer [06:24] woodyjlw: adobe-flashplayer (with dash, not space). [06:24] wow, google not responding to search requests? what up with that? [06:25] kinja, windows is like that skanky hot chick who if you sleep with youll get some disease, while unix is like your grandmothers car, not much to look at but it will get you there and take a beating [06:25] desynch: the error message you posted ("Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'") suggested DNS issues. Your pastebin of sources.list looks good. What does the command ' host archive.ubuntu.com' report (it should list 4 IP addresses)? [06:25] kinja-sheep, I do agree. But hence my amazement. I reckon HiD as HiD [06:25] same thing [06:25] E: Couldn't find package adobe-flashplayer [06:25] does anyone know how i can get my system to boot to tty1 instead of nowhere? :D [06:26] e:? [06:26] Voss: see that's the thing, I'm great with that linux on a machine I own, but I keep spending money renting windows machines and running the cr*p out of them for extended projects [06:27] /w $me [06:27] i recently removed GDM and now it doesn't automatically boot to tty1, yet i can just ctrl alt f1 to it, is anyone familiar with this? [06:27] woody, adobe-flashplayer is in synaptic [06:28] adobe-flashplugin [06:28] in synaptic [06:28] adobe-flashplugin not adobe-flashplayer [06:28] desynch: the error message you posted ("Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'") suggested DNS issues. Your pastebin of sources.list looks good. What does the command ' host archive.ubuntu.com' report (it should list 4 IP addresses)? [06:28] hi im encountering this error: GPG error: http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net karmic-security Release: Unknown error executing gpgvFailed to fetch http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ubuntu/dists/karmic/restricted/i18n/Translation-en_PH.bz2 Error reading from server.

[06:28] desynch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:28] kinja-sheep, At first I thought that some buttons just sent regular key-strokes.. but that is not the case because in xbmc the farstforward button works. But not in gstreamer.. Something is wrong with the lirc installation I presume [06:28] doesn't flashplayer=flashplugin? [06:28] genoobie, not necessarily [06:29] woodyjlw: aptitude search flash | grep -w 'i' <--- anything turns up? [06:29] you guys have to forgive my ignorance cause I came from windows to linux so I am use to doing things the wrong way. dont know how I messed up firefox. after ubuntu fresh install it pops up addons and instead of the adobe flash I selected the open source player I think [06:29] does anyone know an easy way for me to take a 88.3 gb hard drive that has windows xp on it which is using 66.9 gb and has 21.3 free space on it and turn it into a linux system more instead of an xp system [06:29] timfrost, what could be that error message means? [06:29] where can I find the source code for FloodBot4 ? [06:29] :P [06:29] now let's see if we can make ubuntu scream [06:29] woody, remove the open source player and just install adobe flashplugin [06:30] i adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 [06:30] woody thats it [06:30] okay install ubuntu [06:30] and when I pick the OS in grub I get... [06:30] anyone here have wirezon wireless and pays their bill online? [06:30] kinja-sheep, When trying to edit buttons I get this error: Could not initialize hardware [06:30] I can't get this website to load for me and as far as I know I have java and flash installed and working ok [06:30] no such device eecc8890-foo [06:30] jolaren: XBMC have the Lircmap for your remote control. It is in ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lirc* or Keymap* [06:31] ? [06:31] does Ubuntu (current release) have the Gnome3 shell? [06:31] jolaren: You will see it under or such. [06:31] i dont remember witch one it was lol that is why I tried to delete them all [06:31] what now sherlock?? [06:31] woody, go ahead and install the plug in it should get any files you dont have [06:31] yeah but the thing is when i want to basically wipe the windows xp but need my files then install ubuntu 9.10 then windows 7 and give windows 7 the minimum of hard drive space it needs [06:31] !info gnome-shell | comawhite_ [06:31] comawhite_: gnome-shell (source: gnome-shell): redefines user interactions with the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 309 kB, installed size 1428 kB [06:32] hey Voss do you have any tips for why my install doesn't boot? [06:32] could it be shockwave flash? [06:32] genoobie was this an upgrade? [06:32] comawhite_: It is not a default package but you can intsall it, yes. [06:32] no [06:32] fresh install [06:32] there are more than one oS [06:32] but i put it in an unused part [06:32] kinja-sheep, the map keymaps is empty [06:32] desynch: what does the command 'ls -ld /var/lib/apt/lists/partial' show? (It should look like 'drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-04 08:01 /var/lib/apt/lists/partial' - with a different timestamp) [06:32] kinja-sheep: aww I just wanted to see how it was on a live cd :P [06:32] genoobie does windows boot? [06:33] Voss didn't try hold a sec [06:33] comawhite_: You can still do it as long as you don't restart. ;O [06:33] wow this is bs [06:33] verizonwireless blocks everything but IE [06:33] timfrost, here drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-04 14:56 /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ [06:33] yes Voss it's find [06:33] kinja-sheep: I'll give it a whirl in a little while. I need to work on my IRC client's code right now [06:33] jolaren: sudo updatedb && locate xbmc | grep xml -- You might get lucky with this. (it may rest in /usr/share) [06:33] I did notice that it was referring to partitions as sda vs hda [06:33] I don't know if that makes adiff [06:33] genoobie, what error are you getting [06:33] luisgmarine: Which is fooliah, since it has the worst web browser security record. === m4rv1n is now known as COCA [06:34] no such device eecc8890-foo [06:34] luisgmarine: try this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [06:34] when i reload sypnatic manager it fails on this part : Translation_en-PH [06:34] SickAnimations: still I'm pretty shocked. And here I was pointing the finger at Ubuntu .. shame on verizon [06:34] when I go to add-ons folder in firefox I dont see any option to remove [06:34] anyone know how i can force myself to boot in to tty1? [06:34] when i reload sypnatic manager it fails on this part : Translation-en_PH [06:34] my system* :p [06:35] genoobie, do you have an 8890 printer [06:35] error: no such device: eecc8890-e35c-4f4d-83ad-d1efadf1370a [06:35] luisgmarine: [06:35] I got into big trouble [06:35] no [06:35] kinja-sheep, theres some different remotes (standard like the ps3 remote and the wii remote) but I found this /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml [06:35] there is a parallel port on the machine though [06:35] just fake the client header :) [06:35] do you have a usb printer hooked up to your computer? [06:35] mneptok: thanks I'll try that out [06:35] no [06:35] SickAnimations: I have no idea how to do that [06:36] or a parallel printer [06:36] add-ons then plugins and I see some plugins but can not remove any of them. maybe it was the shockwave I installed instead of adobe but I dont know how to fix [06:36] jolaren: That is it. Read inside and look for MCE. That is how XBMC remap the functions in your remote control to its system. [06:36] Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? [06:36] should i just edit the boot and pull that device out? [06:36] luisgmarine: that Fx extension will do it for you [06:36] I used the website "www.getdeb.net" to fetch the newest stuff. I opened it with "konqueror" and clicked on "INSTALL" at the page of the Software "DeVeDe" [06:36] genoobie, sounds like a plan [06:36] no, nothing parallel hooked up [06:36] It automatically started "Adept Batch" [06:36] mneptok: lol let me figure out how to use it =P [06:36] but not quite sure ohw to do it [06:36] "Adept Batch" installed it automatically [06:36] kinja-sheep, [06:36] [06:36] genoobie, try a recover boot [06:36] luisgmarine: install, restart Fx, look in the Tools menu, change your user agent to IE [06:37] voss same err [06:37] when I clicked on "show details" - I saw, that it removed stuff and got a lot of unmet dependencies [06:37] genoobie, did you boot to recovery [06:37] since this time, I could not install anything with "aptitude install ..." [06:37] will linux /boot/vmlinuzfoo ro quiet splash work? [06:37] mneptok: ahh tracking, kk let me see [06:37] Do I exist? [06:37] Voss same err [06:37] I did "aptitude install" and accepted the gived idea to solve the problem [06:37] Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? [06:37] luisgmarine: but have a good laugh about the day Verizon starts offering the iPhone. that will be epic. [06:37] I had to install 62 new packages [06:37] genoobie, do you get a grub screen with two options? [06:38] mneptok: lmao by roomie just tried it from his mac (saphari) and it wont work [06:38] I would like to know, what packages had been removed by "Adept Batch" [06:38] desynch: failure to fetch a translation file isn't usually fatal (there aren't en_NZ translations, because en_NZ is close enough to en_UK). [06:38] kinja-sheep, Do you mind if I pm you? [06:38] jolaren: Sure. [06:38] Is there a way i can make cli output slower, aka hollywood style? and not using "| less" method [06:38] nick M4rv1n [06:38] grub screen has a few options on it [06:39] one is another linux install [06:39] Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? [06:39] the other is memtest + windows [06:39] genoobie, is one a recovery option [06:39] or rescue [06:39] yes and that has the same err [06:39] hey man i am newbi [06:39] try running that [06:39] how i update my wine version by console? [06:39] I did same err [06:40] what does a simple linux /boot line look lke [06:40] root=UUID? [06:40] is that nec? [06:40] timfrost, it's not en_NZ it en_PH [06:41] Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? [06:41] okay [06:41] mneptok: man that still doesn't work. I guess I'm going to have to wait until i go to work or go for a ride and pay this myself at the store. [06:41] my linux won't boot and I only have a few min to figure it out without a reinstall [06:41] and I won't reinstall tonight [06:42] suggestions on why the --set ID returns an error and it there a way to fix it? [06:43] jolaren: If I knew you were going to bombard me with the content, I'd refer you to http://pastebin.com/ in first place. >:}~ [06:43] hi [06:43] happy nex year [06:43] new* [06:44] please, can you tell me how to change font size, in empathy discussions? [06:44] kinja-sheep, I know that, but yeah.. thought tihs would be easier [06:45] what is the set id error [06:46] desynch: I know. I assume that the same thing applies for en_PH as for en_NZ. The worrying thing is 'Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ubuntu/dists/karmic-security/Release.gpg rename failed. No such file or directory ( -> /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net_pub_ubuntu_dists_karmic-security_Release.gpg)' - the source file exists, and the destination directory exists. That suggests permissions proble [06:47] tim, try changing source server where you download from [06:47] hmmm .. [06:47] so what must i do? [06:47] desynch: what happens in a terminal with 'sudo apt-get update'? (Pastebin the output) [06:48] wait [06:48] I have a problem on my toshiba satellite 1005-s157, when i plug in my ethernet cord it does not light up [06:48] does anyone have a clue why my internal drive (/dev/sdb1) wouldn't show up automagically on my desktop after i edit fstab [06:48] no you have to plug the power cord for it to light up :) [06:49] How can i make cli output slower? and i dont mean "| less" [06:49] terminhell: |more [06:49] :3 [06:49] no i mean the ethernet port does not light up when i connect it from the router to the ethernet port on the toshiba satellite [06:49] *slaps forehead [06:49] no I know, jk [06:49] even the light on the router does not come up [06:50] ghost have you 1) tried a different cable? [06:50] timfrost, Sorry, your post tripped our spam/abuse filter - let us know if you think this could be improved [06:50] pastebin shit [06:50] yep doesn't work and since it is a old computer when i go and look at the specs it claims that the model i have does not have an ethernet port [06:51] but mine came with one [06:51] ghost, is your ethernet port a plug in card? [06:51] plug that is connected on the motherboard [06:52] timfrost, here http://p.linode.com/3362 [06:52] linode pastebin [06:52] it's all good eh [06:53] Where is the LOG File from "Adept Batch" [06:53] ADEPT BATCH removed packages without asking me [06:53] .or if anyone could point me in the direction of where to look for the solution. I don't even know where to start. internal hard drive installed 100% okay with Ubuntu. Xubuntu is giving me a challenge [06:53] I need to see the log [06:53] Thimag: look around /var/log [06:53] ghost, your unit has a pcmcia slot doesnt it? [06:53] i have 3x1 tb hdds sda-ext3 sdb-fat32 sdc-ext3 .. been using ubuntu since a few months now .. however i need to install win7 for the gf, if i installed it on sdb, will win7 sort out the mbr and gimme somekinda bootloading options??? [06:53] Thimag: especially the logs for dpkg and apt [06:54] ugh [06:54] no end in sight here...reinstall? [06:54] vegombrei, why do you HAVE to install windows :P ? [06:54] yeah but the thing is my wireless pcmcia card is on campus and i am home for break [06:54] voss your talking about the wireless card that i can plug in right [06:54] ghost, they do have wired pcmcia cards you can plug in at home [06:54] desynch: that looks OK. the 'ign' for the Translation-en_PH files indicates that there aren't any translations for that English locale. [06:55] How do i set Sun Java Runtime first instead of the OpenJDK Runtime? [06:55] yes [06:56] yeah but i don't want to spend i want to figure out a way to fix the problem [06:56] Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? [06:56] ShawnC, system->admin->hardware drivers [06:56] ghost, you might check in network manager if your card is turned on [06:57] I don't think a reinstall will fix this problem tho [06:57] voss, when i do that it only brings up the modem port and not the ethernet port [06:58] voss, its like my card doesn't want to tell me that my ethernet port is on [06:58] ghost, you might also need to check if your ethernet port is turned on in the bios [06:58] slide23: if you have the sun java installed, run 'sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun' to use the Sun V6(1.6) programs. To check what is available, run 'update-java-alternatives --list' [06:58] hi :) im have a problem: [06:58] voss, the bios is a phoenix a1 and i don't think it gives me that option [06:58] biker im sorry the problem section is closed for the evening [06:59] Voss: uh? =/ [06:59] ;-) [06:59] im kidding [06:59] lol :p [06:59] voss do you think it is the fact that maybe my bios has the ethernet port locked off [06:59] timfrost, thanks [06:59] ghost its possible [07:00] will a reinstall likely fix this problem Voss? [07:00] ghost, look for something that says onboard lan, [07:00] in the bios [07:01] after installing ubuntu, I installed the kubuntu-desktop to have also kde, all its ok, but now after grub and before the login screen, the system animation is of kubuntu; how can I return it to the ubuntu animation? =/ [07:01] when I switch back to X in ubuntu after waiting a long time, it will prompt for my password but completely lock up my laptop [07:01] genoobie, id try a live install cd and see if that works, if it does then yes maybe a reinstall would work. If not then a reinstall wouldnt do anything and then you have a hardware problem [07:01] Voss the live cd booted [07:01] ghost I meant not genoobie [07:01] timfrost, will that auto propagate to nautilus? [07:02] how do I mount the hda in terminal? [07:02] it's a standard eide [07:02] genoobie, a reinstall might fix the problem [07:03] Hey. Anyone here know of a PPA where I can get the 190.x.x Nvidia drivers for Karmic? [07:03] anybody know anything about GPRS??? [07:03] I mounted the diskpart where the install is [07:03] any idea? [07:03] is there someone that could help me diagnose what is wrong with my laptop that has ubuntu? [07:03] ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa [07:03] voss just checked i see nothing in the phoenix bios version 1 saying onboard lan [07:04] voss if grub is in the mbr how can i poke at it... [07:04] slide23: you may have to log out and back in for nautilus to notice the change. I am not sure about that. Certainly any new program will pick up the new default [07:05] genoobie, thats outside my expertise [07:05] i have 0 free space on my computer, and its causing my updates to make errors [07:05] timfrost, thanks [07:05] genoobie: What do you want to do with it exactly? Generally speaking, 'poking' at your bootloader and MBR is a bad idea [07:05] what good is this chat if no one is here to help [07:05] well it can't find the right partition in grub [07:06] error: no such device:ee8890foo etc etc [07:06] grub 1 or 2? [07:06] 1.97 [07:06] so 1 [07:06] genoobie: no [07:06] ! grub | genoobie [07:06] genoobie: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:06] genoobie: that's grub2 [07:06] Oops [07:06] ! grub2 | genoobie [07:06] genoobie: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:06] my bad [07:06] genoobie: 0.97 is grub1 [07:06] voss, do you think i will have to udate the bios to get that option to check for onboard lan [07:06] lstarnes: You must admit, that's really confusing [07:07] gothca [07:07] so I booted live [07:07] mounted the part where ubuntu is installed [07:07] and I can see the fs and everything :) [07:07] ghost, no its in there it may just have a different name. Go to the toshiba site and get the user manual [07:07] how can i fix grub? [07:07] can someone help me or no [07:07] genoobie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:08] jim__: No one can help you if you don't ask a question [07:08] how can i install my video card dirver(ati 9500)? [07:08] i did 8 times buddy [07:08] ryanakca: It's already installed on any recent version of ubuntu [07:08] soreau, I know, but I only have about 5 min [07:08] i have 0 free space left on my computer and when i did a update it messed shit up [07:08] jim__: Asking if someone can help you is not really asking anything [07:09] maybe you should of read my prior posts [07:09] most obvious problem might be? [07:09] q [07:09] genoobie: Then you shouldn't even be trying to fix this right now Try again when you have more time [07:09] jim__: you will need to free up some disk space before you can apply any package updates. Your options depend on how your disk is partitioned [07:09] ! who | jim__ [07:09] jim__: 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 :) [07:09] how do i delete programs [07:09] How can i make cli output slower? and i dont mean "| less" [07:09] soreau, I have three kids and lots of obligations [07:10] I *never8 have more time [07:10] genoobie: Who's fault is that? [07:10] i have a dell mini, that has a tiny hardrive [07:10] jim__, do you have a lot of music or video files? [07:10] no brand new computer [07:10] terminhell, why do you want it slower? [07:10] it's not really a fault, I'm just saying if there are obvious things to check some pointer could really help [07:10] jim__, what size hard drive do you have anyway? [07:10] Random832: mostly for the lols. [07:11] 4 gb i think [07:11] its small [07:11] genoobie: It would really help if you read the information provided to you already [07:11] hey everyone.. [07:11] terminhell, i wrote a program for that, once.... long since lost it though [07:11] to slow it down to the speed that it was way back in the old days on teletype machines [07:11] is there a way to check? im in the filesystem properties [07:11] Random832: yea exactly =D [07:12] jim__, for a quick and dirty way to free up some space , do apt-get clean [07:12] Random832: The terminal output will be roughly faster as the processor speed is higher. afaik, there's no way to slow it down. Set your scrollback in your terminal to a high value so you can scroll back on what was output [07:13] my middle click to paste isn't working. [07:13] random, unable to lock the download directory [07:13] see the wiki doesn't suggest which filesystem to begin with, or if those cmds should be run as root [07:14] uncmar: Did you highlight anything first? [07:14] hey guys! [07:14] soreau: yes. [07:14] jim__, you have to be root [07:14] uncmar: Where are you trying to middle click? [07:14] double click to firefox Location bar. [07:15] soreau: double click works for highlight, and trying to middle click to firefox location bar. [07:15] random, on that now [07:15] soreau, if I could edit some files then I might be in good shape [07:15] jim__: more info required - can you pastebin the output of 'df -h' (run as a command in a terminal) so that we can see the structure of your file system, and which parts have no space. [07:15] but the problem is if grub is in mbr doesn't that change the nature of the wiki?? [07:15] soreau: I don't have a middle button. until very recently, the emulation was working. I don't know if it was turned off with the latest update. [07:15] genoobie: Why can't you edit any files? [07:16] uncmar: Ah, so you're doing right+left click for middle click? [07:16] Tim your going to have to make that more simple for me i appolgize [07:16] soreau: yes. [07:16] I'll go get my usb mouse to try the actual middle button. [07:17] uncmar: Well that's an X server setting iirc. Check your X log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure Emulate3Buttons is enabled [07:17] Tim i see the size, use, avail [07:17] what would you like to no? [07:18] no, I can edit files [07:18] Tim /dev/sda2 uses 100% [07:18] man I should have picked grub somehow [07:18] that *works* [07:19] soreau: grep Emulate3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log returns nothing. [07:19] genoobie: FYI, 9.04 uses grub1 and if you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, it will not install grub2 [07:19] I didn't upgrade, fresh install [07:19] ????????????? [07:19] but i had another linux installed on the system [07:19] grub1 [07:19] hey guys am new on this network and want to make friends [07:20] uncmar: Hmm.. you might need Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" in xorg.conf, perhaps the ServerFlags section? [07:20] ! who | genoobie [07:20] genoobie: 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 :) [07:20] sorry, soreau [07:20] !tim [07:20] its kinda quiet in here right now ;) [07:21] hi :) [07:21] soreau, I had another linux installed and grub was working it appears that ubuntu replaces that with grub2 [07:21] soreau: will that require a restart of X ? [07:21] after installing ubuntu, I installed the kubuntu-desktop to have also kde, all its ok, but now after grub and before the login screen, the system animation is of kubuntu; how can I return it to the ubuntu animation? =/ [07:21] Docteh: By way of comparison to what it usually is, but compared to other sane channels, it's never quiet in here [07:21] what is the package name for kde? [07:21] sudo apt-get install kde-desktop? [07:22] uncmar: Any changes made in xorg.conf would require X restart. All's you have to do is log out [07:22] RussellAlan: nop, kubuntu-desktop [07:22] Am I talking to myself? [07:22] where did timfrost go [07:22] soreau I could fix this if I could change that UUID to something like /dev/sda5 [07:22] jim__: what is on /dev/sda2 (what does 'df-h /dev/sda2' report? 100% means that nothing more can be written there [07:22] I am rather partial to the 8 xterm's I have running at the moment. [07:22] or something like that [07:22] genoobie: Yes, karmic installs grub2 to your MBR [07:22] hi [07:22] I think I am. [07:22] genoobie: You say you have another linux partition? [07:22] yes [07:22] that one boots properly [07:22] and a windows part [07:23] tim, can you explain yourself more [07:23] that too boots properly [07:23] i need to fix this but i dont no what you mean [07:23] genoobie: So what is the problem exactly? [07:23] How do I get sound juicer to rip mp3's [07:23] grayhane: You have to bribe it [07:23] with what ? [07:23] soreau when i pick either ubuntu OS at grub I get error: no such device: ee8890c0-foo [07:23] Hello I installed a program awhile back but forgot its name. It was a video converter i think it was ffmpeg but I installed that and I cant find the gui or what ever [07:24] I mean there's ubuntu and ubuntu recovery both generate the err [07:24] this is frustrating can you please help me [07:24] genoobie: Ok, well if you want to go back to grub1, boot into your working linux then follow the instructions to restore grub here: [07:24] ! grub | genoobie [07:24] genoobie: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:24] soreau but then I won't be able to boot ubuntu? [07:25] hey all, any idea how to have evolution minimize to tray??? maybe a .deb file i can dl for that functionality??? [07:25] genoobie: After that, you would probably have to manually add ubuntu to /boot/grub/menu.lst of your working linux [07:25] tim, are you there? [07:26] can't I just replace the uuid thing with /dev/sda5 [07:26] I imagine the UUID contains the fs info and such [07:26] genoobie: Sure, you can try that if you want [07:26] I can try anythign [07:26] Can't break it anymore than it already is [07:27] soreau can i have some help please [07:27] no apparently not [07:27] jim__: Sorry man, what is your problem? You have low disk space? [07:27] jim__: We can use a private channel. Does your IM program show the private conversation that I am setting up? [07:27] no it does not [07:27] what's ro for in the boo [07:28] yes it does i apologize [07:28] genoobie: ro = read only [07:28] okay [07:28] timfrost try it again [07:28] soreau [07:29] yes? [07:29] heres what happened... i did an update and my computer ran out of space dudring the update [07:29] absafrigginfabulous [07:29] it cuased failure to my whole computer [07:29] jim__: Why do you only have 4GB of disk space? [07:30] i dont no i baught a dell mini [07:30] ugh [07:30] I would complain to them [07:30] soreau iit appears that changing the UUID crap that ubuntu borked in grub2 [07:30] seems to have fixed the problem [07:30] that is not a reasonable amount of disk space to do anything with [07:30] genoobie: cool [07:30] listen all i need to do is restore my computer to an earlier point [07:31] soreau now to make the change permanent what should I edit or what cmd should I run [07:31] when i did the update it messed my computer up [07:31] jim__: You can do that by reinstalling ubuntu [07:31] please help me through that [07:31] jim__: Make a backup of your precious data first. [07:31] i have nothing on this computer yet [07:31] I basically got rid of the "search" line in grub2 [07:31] hey all, any idea how to have evolution minimize to tray??? maybe a .deb file i can dl for that functionality??? [07:31] genoobie: TBH idk for grub2. You will have to consult the grub2 ubuntu wiki page [07:31] i just started playing with it today [07:31] and changed root=/dev/sda5 [07:31] jim__: How did you install ubuntu on it in the first place? [07:32] i got it with it on it [07:32] ah [07:32] I guess for now I'll do it manually until I figure it out [07:32] jim__: The manufacturer didn't give you reinstall disks? [07:32] this laptop was fine a few hours ago [07:32] no [07:32] wtf [07:32] i baught it from someone [07:32] jim__: You said you bought it from dell? [07:32] ahh [07:32] from someone [07:32] Well you got a bad deal [07:32] my computer is weird - it does not ask password for gksu - ever [07:33] at least for the hard drive [07:33] it was cheap [07:33] how do you look at the desktop settings (color bit depth res, etc.) [07:33] i just need to be able to go on the internet [07:33] jim__: It has cheap because it has no hard drive and no telling what else is wrong with it :P [07:33] nm [07:33] how do i get it back to normal [07:33] jim__: Well first things first, you will want to download and burn a live cd [07:34] no wait [07:34] ! download | jim__ [07:34] jim__: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [07:34] how can i see color bit depth [07:34] jim__: sudo fdisk -l --> How many GB? [07:34] jim__: OK. just tried a private message [07:34] genoobie: grep Depth /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:34] kinja-sheep: Apparently only 4GB [07:35] soreau, tx [07:35] soreau what one should i chose [07:35] soreau: That is *sad*. How much did he paid for it? [07:35] 75 bucks [07:35] i have a very nice pc im on i just wanted a mini [07:35] jim__: Not bad for a Internet-oriented Netbook -- Hmm. [07:36] jim__: Well since you have such a limited amount of space, I'd be inclined to recommend xubuntu. But if you mean which should you choose for download, you should choose the Desktop iso that is right for your arch [07:36] jim__: You like Gnome? [07:36] jim__: For example if you have a regular intel processor, you would want x86/i386/i686 [07:36] hey all, any idea how to have evolution minimize to tray??? maybe a .deb file i can dl for that functionality??? [07:36] soreau i dont undertsand any of that [07:37] jim__: I'd suggest for you to use Dell-Minimal.tar.gz and install essential packages instead of bloated ubuntu-desktop metapackage. [07:37] jim__: Ok, do you know what processor is in the dell mini? [07:37] intel atom [07:37] jim__: Run "uname -m" [07:38] jim__: Alright so on the download page, you see where it says Desktop CD and x86 or i386/i686? any of that? [07:38] i686 [07:38] kinja-sheep: What is that tarball you are talking about? [07:38] jim__: Then that's the one you want [07:38] what one? [07:38] :P [07:38] hey guys [07:38] whats up [07:39] ! download [07:39] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [07:39] soreau: It does not have to be in ISO format. :-) [07:39] jim__: 9.10/karmic [07:39] Hi ive Just installed Winff But It doesnt work , it cant find what it needs, how can I get all of the packages it needs ? [07:39] thank you [07:39] kinja-sheep: I don't get it. What is this tarball you are talking about? [07:40] what does this mean: (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) [07:40] now what do i pick soraue [07:40] im stuck at 800x600 [07:40] soreau, last question and tx for the help btw [07:40] I'm trying to get the wlan up [07:40] is their any good keylogger for ubuntu [07:40] I see the correct driver is loaded [07:40] lsmod shows b43legacy [07:40] this is never going to workj [07:41] i need to just make space on this computer [07:41] and I didn't check dmesg but I'm assuming ubuntu puts the firmware in the distro [07:41] so to get wlan up [07:41] soreau: You're aware of !minimal, right? People can use .iso to burn discs when there are over dozen way to install the system including USB methods. You could use unetbootin, Ubuntu Startup Creater, or tar.gz to zcat or dd methods. Really, there are manys. :) [07:41] should I install a wirless daemon? [07:41] jim__: Well like I said, you need to download and burn a live cd from there. after that, you can use it to boot your mini [07:41] my mini doesnt have a cd drive [07:41] kinja-sheep: Nah, I don't know of them/it [07:42] jim__: Well you are really screwed then unless you can boot from usb [07:42] !minimal | soreau [07:42] soreau: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:42] jmoney: what it says - the mode description for that mode is specifying a vertical refresh rate that isn't supported by the hardware [07:42] someone pls suggest me a good keylogger for ubuntu [07:42] soreau: http://tinyurl.com/yk2ep3b (boot.img.gz / netboot.tar.gz) [07:42] kinja-sheep: Oh neat [07:43] prince: Why would you want that? [07:43] i dont understand, all i did was clicked the update button in the top right hand corner of my laptop [07:43] kinja-sheep: Then you can help jim__ figure out how to install ubuntu with no cdrom driver then :) [07:43] this page by the way being http://www.uofr.net/~greg/hardware/laptop_power_troubleshooting/ [07:43] and it cuased problems [07:43] prince: There are none in the repository. Find one and try it at your own risk. [07:43] how can I type ascii characters? like in windows is alt ###, on fedora is alt + key, on ubuntu how is it? [07:43] jim__: The main problem is the laptops hard drive does not have enough disk space at all [07:43] i no [07:44] jim__: Do you have a spare USB that we can use to install a fresh Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 on it? [07:44] timfrost, http://paste.ubuntu.com/351122/ [07:44] jim__: Then you do understand what the proble is [07:44] no [07:44] a usb cord? [07:44] Hey [07:44] jim__: You will want to buy one. It costs 10 bucks or so. [07:44] Looks like it is a voltage regulator, and it does look like a mosfet. Which begs the question, if your looking at a circuit, how would you know the diff from a regulator vs a mosfet? Look up part numbers? [07:45] I cannot play the video via youtube? [07:45] kinja a usb cord? [07:45] jim__: Looks like this --> http://tinyurl.com/yjxz4ew [07:45] It says as need to enable java or to get the latest flash player [07:45] let me see [07:45] I have the latest flash player [07:45] hi there [07:45] ardchoille:to take keystrokes [07:45] all you good people [07:45] :) [07:46] i do kinja it holds 512mb [07:46] can mythbuntu be run as livecd? ( a bit offtopic maybe, but i would like to know ) [07:46] jim__: Great! Copy the important stuffs on that 512MB to your computer because we'll format it. :) [07:47] there is nothing on it [07:47] whats next kinja [07:48] jim__: Do you want to use i386 or i686? [07:48] i 686 [07:48] jim__: You can type kinja and Press TAB for autocomplete. That way I get highlighted messages. [07:48] thats wat i have now i guess [07:48] let me try it [07:48] kinja-sheep: [07:48] like that? [07:48] jim__: Perfect! :-) [07:48] jim__: You see how we type your nick name before each message directed to you? Yes [07:49] kinja-sheep: thank you [07:49] soreau, I think I'm going to stick with puppylinux [07:49] genoobie: Knock yourself out [07:49] jim__: I can't find i686 for the usb, but I see a lpia disc. I gotta search a little more. [07:49] soreau ubuntu appears slow [07:50] can someone help me to configure my smartlink pci internal modem i installed wvdial gppp slmodem agrsm...but my modem is not yet detected but work fine on xp [07:50] kinja-sheep: ok [07:50] genoobie: You wont be hurting anyones feelings but you cant get support for it here [07:50] jim__: Found it. [07:50] kinja-sheep: ready when you are [07:50] soreau, no I know. I really like the availability of apps for ubuntu [07:51] but it's kind of heavy [07:51] and obviously still a bit buggy [07:51] nite then [07:51] anyone that can help with an iptables issue? [07:51] jim__: Plug the usb in. Have a new terminal open for (you and me). Ready? Do this --> "sudo aptitude install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" [07:52] can someone help me to configure my smartlink pci internal modem i installed wvdial gppp slmodem agrsm...but my modem is not yet detected but work fine on xp [07:52] jim__: Give me the link. Thanks. :) [07:52] firefox_: not if you don't explain your issue [07:52] kinja-sheep: plug the usb into my pc or laptop? [07:52] soreau, here http://pastebin.org/70930 [07:52] jim__: You're on the computer, right? You will be online all times? [07:52] jim__: Is your computer running linux? [07:53] kinja-sheep: im on my pc which is windows xp [07:53] jim__: Okay. Plug it in the netbook. [07:53] somone say lol ~im testing something [07:54] !iptables | firefox_ [07:54] firefox_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [07:54] firefox_: I have done this once only with an original xbox (not 360) and it was something similar to what you're doing. What problem are you having with the setup exactly? [07:54] somone say lol ~im testing something [07:55] soreau, the xbox doesnt see the internet [07:55] kinja-sheep: continue y/n? [07:55] jim__: Yes. You want to install it. [07:55] firefox_: Can you ping the xbox and does xbox have a way to ping or use nameservers? [07:55] if i just want to copy all the files and subdirectories of foo/, but not 'foo/' itself, do i do: cp -r foo/* /path/to/bar/? [07:55] kinja-sheep: it is done [07:56] hi, I seem to have buggered apt/dpkg somehow. system hung (likely due to vbox kernel modules) while I was doing an `aptitude install ntop`. It didn't completely install (was iF status now pF), and I can't perform aptitude remove/purge or force it due to the error "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error" - anyone have a clue how I might fix this? [07:56] jim__: I'm waiting for the link from you. [07:56] kinja-sheep: where would i find a link? [07:56] soreau, not to sound dumb (or atleast not to prove it ^_^) you mean like ping it from the laptop thats forwarding or from another comp on the network? [07:56] jim__: In the terminal. [07:57] firefox_: From the laptop, but should be able to ping it from anywhere on the LAN [07:57] kinja-sheep: i dont see a link [07:57] can somone say "lol"??? [07:57] ! lol | radek [07:57] radek: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [07:57] lol [07:57] ;) [07:57] :) [07:57] jim__: "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" [07:57] it didnt work [07:58] soreau, let me boot it up. I use the last two lines before iptables-save in that script to forward. gotta go in the other room and turn it on [07:58] apt-get install lol [07:58] how do i enter scripts in ubuntu? [07:58] i have a bot [07:58] and i want to test it [07:58] but mirc is not 4 linux [07:58] firefox_: TBH, it would be wise to continue this conversation in #networking so other more experienced in this area might chime in. Meet you there? [07:59] firefox_: Just start by asking the question and problem you are having there and make sure to post the pastebin in there [07:59] firefox_: Install bridge-utils -- Set up a new profile in NetworkManager for shared link. You're done. [07:59] IS there any way to add cls as an alias to the Clear command under ubuntu? [07:59] does xchat support scripts?

[07:59] radek, if it is a windows program, you should use windows, or try it with wine emulation, or virtualbox with an windows install, otherwise use an linux irc bot [08:00] JAMD456: yes, open trml .. [08:00] jim__: It is on the keyboard. [08:00] oh yeak forgot about Wine thanx [08:00] im dualbooting btw [08:00] kinja-sheep, hmmm, sounds intresting but I thought bridge-utils had issues with bridging wireless to ether [08:00] JAMD456: alias cls="clear" [08:00] Hello all, I am sorry to bother you guys but I am new to IRC and also pretty new to Ubuntu and I am having trouble connecting to irc.freenode.net which I need to get to >.> [08:00] kinja-sheep: it is in the middle of _ and - [08:00] JAMD456: gksudo gedit /etc/bash/bash.rc === GNumAniaC is now known as DNS777 [08:01] JAMD456: scroll to it's end, add aline : [08:01] kinja-sheep: shift gives me _ and the button itslef gives me - [08:01] jim__: Hold.

[08:13] DasEi: could not resolve 'dell-mini.archive.canonical.com [08:13] git___: you can't copy to loop device like this [08:14] dasei: i was able to for the first 1.6G, then it choked [08:14] EastDallas: gnome-session-save --logout-dialog [08:14] EastDallas: if you can sacrifice every process of yours, type "kill -15 -1" (send TERM to all your processes.)

[08:14] I'm having this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gentoo/+bug/474664 [08:14] EastDallas: gnome-session-save --logout [08:14] the loop device is a bootable qemu image [08:14] not sure why it's on gentoo though - but it seems to link to the source of the problem which is from ubuntu? not sure why theres' the crossover [08:15] kinja-sheep: i did "sudo fdisk -1 | pastebinit" [08:15] EastDallas: man gnome-session-save [08:15] jim__: -l (a letter l) not numbers. [08:15] git___: either you do an image of / with dd or you sudo cp -R it to a destination big enough [08:15] i was hoping to do: rsync -azvH / /mnt/qemu.img --exclude=/dev --exclude=/proc [08:15] jim__: L=l not 1 [08:15] you have to do -v in order to see the files being copied with cp? [08:16] Fog: Yes. [08:16] Fog: -v stands for --verbose [08:16] ardchoille: WARNING **: Unable to start. Cannot open Display: [08:16] Fog: nope, use rsync -P for that [08:16] somehow i tried dd /dev/sda1 (100GB) to a USB drive, it still chokes at around 34GB [08:16] how can i tell if my wifi card is using wireless 'N', 'G' or 'B'? [08:16] git___: just as a hint, use "rsync -x..." so you don't need those excludes [08:16] kinja-sheep: let me re do it [08:17] EastDallas: you're ssh'd in but without forwarding X ? [08:17] kinja-sheep: command not found [08:17] why would i use rsync to copy mp3s from one folder to another? [08:17] that would be slower to make all the deltas [08:17] thanks llutz === Guest9291 is now known as Allan [08:17] EastDallas: I suppose you could always kill gnome-session [08:18] Fog: It is not slower. Just different way to copy. === Allan is now known as Guest90327 [08:18] Fog: no, that's not slower than cp, but you will to get a progress and see the actually copied files [08:18] ardchoille: the way I'm logged in now, yeah...I'm logged in over a management tool. === Guest90327 is now known as Allan_C [08:18] kinja-sheep: what should i do [08:19] EastDallas: ps -eu, look for "your" gnome-session, kill it [08:19] jim__: See private messaging. [08:19] ardchoille: Do you know how to find the PID for my gnome session? [08:19] im having a bit of a brain fart, what file do i back up to save all my ppas and sources? [08:19] kinja-sheep: how do i do that [08:19] Allan_C: /etc/apt/sources.list [08:19] EastDallas: top or htop [08:19] EastDallas: or "pidof gnome-session" [08:19] thank you, i knew it was something easy [08:19] jim__: The tab that you said to me "let me try" [08:20] kinja-sheep: its gone [08:20] EastDallas: ps aux | grep gnome-session [08:20] pidof > ps aux | grep. [08:21] EastDallas: alankila is right, use pidof gnome-session [08:21] jim__: Look around. [08:21] EastDallas: ps aux another way [08:22] ardchoille: DasEi: ps aux works better [08:22] ps aux is the traditional unix way, but you still have to identify which one of the lines is the right one due to fuzzy matching, sometimes even showing the grep itself. [08:22] :) [08:22] alankila: DasEi: ardchoille: pidof gives me three PIDs, but it doesn't tell me which one belongs to who. [08:23] EastDallas: htop can group pids by their relation to the master process [08:23] EastDallas: okay, use "ps u " to look closer at each one [08:23] alankila: ps aux tells me right there who the session belongs to. [08:23] the three results means three processes, so you got to identify yours. [08:23] EastDallas: both ps aux and htop show the owner of the proc [08:25] Is there any 'web interface' terminals? how could i get to a remote terminal in a browser, is it possible? [08:25] unhackmee: Why not ssh? [08:25] alankila: DasEi: ardchoille: ps aux | gnome-session worked perfectly...PID killed....thanks [08:25] unhackmee: "webshell", but one don't want to use that [08:25] the client.. [08:26] why?

[09:37] or could have been my other ex's dad he works for DOD [09:37] sanderj__: You would have to change /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the next release, upgrade, then continue all the way to 9.10 [09:37] sanderj__: That sounds like a recipe for messy system, in my opinion. [09:38] Does anyone here know how to, I guess it's reformat my 2nd hdd?? [09:38] om26er, ok- idno [09:38] someone please help me remove LKM rootkit i have so many security keys to reissue everything has been compromised im afraid [09:39] kinja-sheep, but is it just to do something like apt-get safe-upgrade .. as it is with debian? [09:39] Homely_Girl: what's the issue? [09:39] any body can solve my problem [09:39] vox: I have 2 drives 10 'n 15, but the 15 appears 2 be in 2 volumes....

[09:41] Can I ask a question? [09:42] crash2108: Yes. And I just answered your question. NEXT! [09:42] Homely_Girl: using a pastebin, paste the output of "mount" and "sudo fdisk -l" [09:43] I get "unable to configure serial port" in Putty when trying to connect to a serial port.

[09:47] !defrag | The_shark_001 [09:47] The_shark_001: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [09:47] The_shark_001: the filesystem in question doesn't reqiure 'defrag' as a ntfs or fat partition. [09:47] trijntje: that's better summerized :) [09:47] how to open files of type "CHM document files"??? [09:47] crash2108: nice laptop.

Like I said, Got it to work in Windows with Google Earth. http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?message.uid=585824#U585824 [09:49] may i know how to install chmsee from synaptic???

[09:50] Homely_Girl: ok, so is the windows partition doing anything currently? or is it just empty space? [09:50] EastDallas: what if i disconnect the hdd with ubuntu on it . install win7 on the other drive and then reconnect .. and switch boot hdds thru bios .. would it work then? [09:50] The ubuntu Archives for Norway gives Hash Sum errors, while other repositories do not give errors. Where do one report this problem? [09:50] sunil1, sudo apt-get install chmsee [09:50] preben: #ubuntu-mirrors. [09:50] crash2108: It was released recently? [09:51] preben: You are talking of no.archive.ubuntu.com right? [09:51] jpds, yes [09:51] jpds, main server and the ftp.unitnet works fine [09:51] Kinja-sheep, yes, just in 2009. Same GPS chip as some older netbooks, though.

There is nothing I need on that drive. [09:55] and a possible LKM trojan [09:55] sunil1: remove from terminal, not from filemanager, the filemanager use the trash bin [09:55] crash2108: You could list "sudo lshw -short ~/Desktop/Hardwares.txt" -- Get details on your hardwares.

[09:58] zoug: aye [09:59] Homely_Girl_: not that i'm overtly familiar with. linux is designed to have large amounts of security [09:59] vox: and this is why it's superior to other o/s's!! lol [09:59] Homely_Girl_: once gparted is installed, click on System -> Administration -> Gparted [09:59] sunil1: only 2GB for your system? (export GLOBIGNORE=.; du -s ~/*) | sort -nr | head [09:59] hello dose anyone know a really kool program to record audio going through the sound board, windows has a program called mp3mymp3 add .com if you want to see the site, dose anyone know of anything like that for linux? I had trouble with audacity reading and recording the output....

[10:00] madPJKfan: think its the workspaces [10:00] vox: I'm there now. [10:01] Homely_Girl_: ok, in the top right there's a drop-down menu of the disks in your system. one will say "/dev/sda" and the other "/dev/sdb/". select the second one [10:01] please follow http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/mee0586b [10:01] vox: Got it, next instruction plse? :) [10:01] The_shark_001, I have 314 running, your system should not be sluggish [10:02] sunil1: what is the output of my last command? [10:02] The_shark_001, it might be your video card? that can make the desktop feel sluggish [10:02] Hi folks. Something weitd happened. The partition my ~/Desktop is symlinked to was not mounted on my last logon and now my desktop points to my home directory. Is there something I can do to fix this? [10:03] zoug: just confused why I can't make "number of desktops" greater than one - can mess with the horizontal and vertical size, but not that [10:03] the out put of "(export GLOBIGNORE=.; du -s ~/*) | sort -nr | head" is posted at http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m40b62982 [10:03] Homely_Girl_: you should be able to right-click on each partition, deleting them as you work upwards [10:03] hi... im trying to secure my UBUNTU server... and i added this with crontab -e......... but how do i make it run every minute... or is there an easy way to do this...

[10:04] sunil1: rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache/* [10:04] vox: it just says it's unallocated now, do we need to give it a name? :) [10:04] Homely_Girl_: yeah, it's 15gb in marketing terms, not technical terms.. [10:05] * Homely_Girl_ feels robbed of a gig! :( [10:05] lol [10:05] madPJKfan: number of desktops is the number of workspaces, try changing it from the panel. plus i never used that feature. [10:05] tos_: It's not a good idea to run it as frequently - it may start before it ends the previous run. For every minute, you would use a line like "* * * * * root clamscan..." [10:05] Homely_Girl_: next you need to go to Partition up the top [10:05] sunil1: and next, df again [10:05] kinja-sheep, what am I supposed to do with this hardware list? [10:05] Homely_Girl_: err, Device [10:05] tos_: For every 5 minutes, you would go "*/5 * * * ...." [10:05] Homely_Girl_: then select "Create Partition Table" [10:06] vox: then click on create 'n erase the entire disc? [10:06] crash2108: Useful if you want to know what hardwares specs you have. Some people have problems with their wifi card so all details are there. [10:06] alright .. nice [10:06] sunil1: and also: sudo apt-get clean [10:06] Homely_Girl_: gah one moment [10:06] kinja-sheep, I just want to have working GPS.

I think I figured out what's wrong. [10:10] vox: u can instruct a lil quicker too! :) I'm there now. ;) [10:10] When I start up the computer, it tells me that Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.

When I ran a command to install, it went off to retrieve the package, uncompress, configure and install it. Correction? Is there anything I can do to delete the package afterward? [10:30] lexie, what is your problem? [10:30] kinja-sheep: sudo aptitude remove [10:31] guntbert: Right. I'm trying to help somebody with 4GB for a hard drive. I'm not certain if minimal is the way to go considering it'd have to download more than 4GB of packages. [10:31] moin [10:31] ;part [10:32] hi, is there a way to use just evolution calendar, standalone, not with all the evolution app ? [10:32] guntbert: I'm looking for something that'd download, uncompress, install, and delete the package before moving on to the next package. [10:32] i don't need the mail part [10:32] kinja-sheep: ah, I misunderstood - your concern is the package file itself - then my command would not be helpful [10:33] guntbert: Yes. Obviously. :) [10:33] kinja-sheep, a minimal install is not 4GB [10:33] minimal as in, no windows manager [10:33] or is there a way to disable the mail part from evolution? and leave everything else ? [10:33] joaopinto: Yes, but we'd be able to install the packages manually. [10:33] Do I have to use special kernel parameters (grub) to configure a FritzCard Classic (ISA PnP)? [10:34] kinja-sheep: "apt-get clean" will clear out the local cache of any retrieved packages (/var/cache/apt/archives) [10:34] hi,how can i change my session? [10:34] kinja-sheep, don't have some kind of external storage, like a 4GB USB pen :P ? [10:34] joaopinto: 512MB which will be used (for minimal). [10:35] Question: How to install back default packages? [10:35] joaopinto: Or does the minimal does that automatically? (eg download, then install?) but I'm certain it does obtain all packages first. [10:35] <[-hide-]> Sup all [10:35] <[-hide-]> Quick question [10:35] hi, what do I need to modify to modify grub entry in grub2? [10:35] and... Nevermind. He left (jimmy_) [10:35] kingmanor, same process, download and install, and packages are ketp on cache [10:35] how can i change my session? [10:35] !grub2 | kane77 [10:35] kane77: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [10:35] ops, was for kinja-sheep [10:36] <[-hide-]> For installing in Windows Vista...I keep getting this error "Permission denied" [10:36] !session [10:36] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [10:36] help [10:36] <[-hide-]> I took over an hour to download this wubi file, is there a way to get past this error? [10:37] joaopinto: It made me wonder about how people are able to install on their netbooks without minimal approach. I'm guessing that Dell use dd (to hard drives) and make things looks bad on Ubuntu. [10:37] !test [10:37] yes, I'm alive. [10:38] kinja-sheep, oh wait, if you refer to install from cd, packages are not copied to the disk, it's more like a dd from the cd to the target system [10:38] joaopinto: Because he clicked the upgrading button on notification area, it went ahead to obtain 300 packages and no room. So his system got b0rked. [10:38] who try webmin ? is safe [10:38] !webmin | adyan2003 [10:38] adyan2003: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. === H is now known as Guest1329 [10:39] !webmin | adyan2003 [10:39] joaopinto: I see. What about the netbooks with no disc? [10:40] same, they just ise a livecd based image [10:40] i have a problem with optical audio on my asus at3n7a-i mobo, i upgraded alsa to 1.0.21 and it still says no optical data on my logitech receiver, and there's no red light from the cable.. analogue audio works tho, any ideas?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [10:40] HI guys, is there a way to display external link in the second level menu depending on the website language?

Worked wonders..now I have another problem... [10:43] what is a good restricted shell for ubuntu [10:43] I went and deleted the top panel. How do I get back? [10:44] nightsjammies: click bottom panel and choose New panel then drag it to top [10:45] I don't have a bottom panel. [10:45] nightsjammies: right click bottom panel and choose New panel then drag it to top [10:45] Or are you talking about the dock? [10:45] !resetpanels | nightsjammies [10:45] nightsjammies: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:45] I have no panel at all. [10:46] Ah...sweet. Thanks much. [10:47] how do i setup samba so that other pcs on my network can see the contents of a shared folder that i have on my 2nd harddrive, right now i can see the shared folders but i can not access them [10:47] hey do this. go to google.com dont enter anything into the search field. press feeling lucky and look! [10:49] Okay, anyone know how to remove the damn dock? [10:49] sambagirlx: haha [10:50] isnt that neato? [10:50] sambagirlx: yes - but off topic *here* :-) [10:51] So anyone know how to kill the dock? [10:51] nightsjammies: killall [10:52] nightsjammies: Use "top" for see what is running [10:52] Will I have to do that everytime? Or is there a way to remove it permanantly? [10:52] nightsjammies: If is configured for start automatically you'll need to chnage it's config [10:53] ok so USERS are able to CD wherever the hell they want in /etc/passwd and whatever, how can i keep them to /home only!? [10:53] Okay. So how do I do that? [10:53] Can I do it through Compiz? [10:54] hello all, we installed latest ubuntu with perl 5.10 - and our web applications stopped working (sql-ledger). is there any simple way to downgrade perl 5.10 to perl 5.8.8? i googled a lot, but there seems to be no easy way out. your replies are welcome as PM's. many many thanks!! === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [10:54] nightsjammies: Maybe you can remove dock with "sudo apt-get purge " [10:54] Hmm [10:54] ok I had to hard-reset now I when I turn on everything loads fine, but when I get to where GDM would be, it freezes. [10:55] black screen. [10:55] Any ideas? [10:55] -_- [10:55] I was wondering if there is a tool that I can run to display an overlay on top of X containing information like GPU temperature, CPU Temperature, and usage? [10:56] Xaero252 like conky? [10:56] I know conky works for the desktop but that doesnt really help me monitor the temperature when I'm doing full-screen rendering or CUDA based calculation [10:56] oh [10:57] I've tried adding conky to a widget layer in compiz but that just results in conky's "transparency" failing hard [10:57] is this a good channel for real basic ubuntu stuff? i want to learn what i can but i'm at a real real basic elementary level. [10:57] Xaero252: conky does not play well with compiz [10:57] !beginner | LA-Snow [10:57] !beginner [10:57] !beginners [10:57] thanks [10:57] argh [10:57] anyway [10:57] LA-Snow: Yes, this is the official ubuntu support channel. Please feel free to ask any questions you have [10:57] the forums are better [10:57] how can i change my session?

[10:59] hei guys [10:59] soreau: I said.. the bootscreen comes up and usally where GDM comes on, It just gives a black screen [10:59] !beginners [10:59] Darkedge: What graphics card do you have? [11:00] ! ask | LA-Snow [11:00] LA-Snow: 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. :-) [11:00] soreau: Intel 82845G [11:00] is that dock at the bottom of the screen called a cairo dock? [11:01] does ubottu have any other useful commands other than looking things up or saying stuff? [11:01] ? [11:01] Never mind. Figured it out. Okay. Night all. Thanks much for all of your help :) [11:01] nightfrog: Not if you aren't using cairo-dock. In gnome, the default is called gnome-panel [11:02] innarr: this seems close: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=784595 [11:02] LA-Snow: here is a bigginer guide you can download the pdf http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [11:02] Darkedge: Which version of ubuntu [11:02] hi guys and happy 2010 [11:02] i have a problem [11:02] thanks [11:02] legend2440: yeah i'm currently reading that now. it's a good resource [11:02] could u help me, please? [11:02] rver irc.darksin.it [11:02] soreau: 9.10 [11:03] legend2440: would you say that KDE is a little more complex than Gnome? i have both on the machine and i'm trying to learn what i can about both [11:03] any ideas on an app/hack that I could use to place an overlay on top of X? [11:03] Darkedge: Does it load ok on the live cd? When did this problem start happening? [11:03] guys???? [11:03] innarr: link might be outdated, since i get a 404 on the download [11:03] mac_: No one can help you if you don't ask your question [11:03] LA-Snow: i dont use kde [11:03] ! ask | mac_ [11:03] mac_: 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. :-) [11:03] legend2440: do you use gnome? [11:03] yes [11:03] soreau: -_- I've just said, I'm on the Live CD and It started happening when I did a hard-reset cause of a freeze. [11:04] i have an old vobis highscreen pc with with win 95 and i want to install linux on it [11:04] but === z0manifest is now known as z0man [11:04] it has got a Pentium S CPU [11:04] legend2440: i've got compiz and the compiz manager installed but i can't get the cube going. do i need to alter some settings or something other than activating the cube? [11:04] Darkedge: So you installed, it was working fine, then it froze, you did a hard reset and then after booting now it gives black screen at gdm? [11:04] !enter | mac_ [11:04] mac_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:05] LA-Snow: Yes. Make sure both 'Desktop Cube' and 'Rotate Cube' are enabled in !ccsm. Then, in General Options --> Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4. Then you can grab the desktop with control+alt+left-mouse-button, and drag the cube around, or rotate the cube with control+alt+left/right. See: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Cube [11:05] thanks! [11:05] oCean_: i already found that page, its a pretty long downgrade-howto ... but i will try to do my best if there is no easier way out! thank you! [11:05] ciao a tutti [11:06] innarr: that link might be outdated, since i got a 404 on the download [11:06] italiani? [11:06] Good morning all. [11:06] !it [11:06] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [11:06] soreau: Where gdm should be :P It kinda had a reason for freezing though, I was updating my username while I had my user highlighted so it said "login as user XXX" fact is I just reinstalled Ubuntu cause of a freeze, the same thing happened an Install ago, It froze, the only thing I could think of doing was reinstalling. [11:06] innarr: however, more people seems to have the same issue (perl 5.10 not 'ready') so there might be a private repository somewhere? [11:06] thanks [11:06] soreau: my problem is that i have an old vobis highscreen pc with with win 95 and i want to install linux on it, so i tried to boot from a cd with any linux distro, but it said: "Boot from ATAPI CDROM Failed." is it possible to install linux from the machine' s HDD? [11:07] I recently got a Genius Pen F610 and found there was a ready made driver. Yet it is only i386 and my machine is an AMD 64bit. [11:08] oh and morning :) [11:08] =) [11:08] i have a problem with optical audio on my asus at3n7a-i mobo, i upgraded alsa to 1.0.21 and it still says no optical data on my logitech receiver, and there's no red light from the cable.. analogue audio works tho, any ideas? [11:09] is it normal to have to enable SSID broadcast on a router to connect wirelessly the first time? i've done it and typed in the SSID and everything but it won't connect that first time unless SSID broadcast is on. is this normal? [11:09] hei [11:09] mac_: Well it sounds like you have a very old machine so you probably want the lightest or oldest linux distro you can find. Try 'puppy linux' or 'DSL' to get it to boot perhaps [11:09] how can i change my session from terminal [11:09] I have a huge problem with load cycling, and I don't know which files to edit for changing the options. Also I'm not surre whether I should edit hdparm options, or other. Running Karmic. [11:09] DarkEyes: I'm not sure what went wrong but maybe you need to reinstall it again [11:10] soreau: so you think that DSL or Puppy will boot correctly? [11:10] mac_: It's worth a shot. If you look for system requirements for ubuntu, the regular live cd is for more modern machines [11:11] soreau: i' m gonna try it. Thanks a lot. [11:11] My genius pen works kinda... Just non of the buttons do, not even on the pen :( [11:11] hei [11:11] hey [11:13] hi [11:13] oCean_: i think it is pretty impossible to solve 5.10>5.8.8 as a package :) the best solution might be to get ubuntu 8.04 which has LTS+perl5.8.8. but still - please get 5.10 working better soon! :) [11:13] i have a problem with optical audio on my asus at3n7a-i mobo, i upgraded alsa to 1.0.21 and it still says no optical data on my logitech receiver, and there's no red light from the cable.. analogue audio works tho, any ideas? [11:14] running ubuntu 9.04 btw [11:14] Hmmm this is interesting, via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetup that my genius mouse pen is really using a "Slim Tablet" driver. [11:14] made by Aiptek [11:15] I've an HP pavilion dv 4 with integrated SIM to connect to internet via mobile phone , in windows vista it works on ubuntu 9.10 I can't find info on google :( [11:15] innarr: 5.8 is in the hardy repositories. However, that will most likely not solve all dependencies. Revert to 8.04 might be the solution for now [11:15] innarr: unless there's a 5.8 repo somewhere for Karmic [11:15] HSDPA 7.2 Mbps HSUPA === patrik is now known as emceee [11:16] soreau: which are the differences between syslinux and isolinux?

It's not good when it does it too often. In Intrepid I changed some scripts that was executed when entering battery state, but don't remember which. [11:39] beruic: now I see - but sorry - no help from me :-( [11:39] oCean_: no karmic repo for 5.8... so moving back to 8.04 seems to be the best solution. still for 8.04 there are things like flash, sound and id-card utilities that work better under karmic === iGhost is now known as iKernel [11:42] Guys? anyone would like to help me out with Audio? (I'm sorry I'm new in IRC I just tryed forums etc. non of help) [11:42] beruic, couldn't you keep some program running that would cause the disk to keep spinning, as a temporary measure?

[11:45] iKernel: Would rather find the scripts I need to edit in order to change the hdparm options [11:45] the chip of usb to serial is ch341a [11:45] my problem is audio is not working :), well it's not muted I have tryied upgrading ALSA to x.21 doesn't work. I've tryied a lot of step-by-step guides [11:45] beruic, make a directory called "dirty fix" in your home dir, put a few files the size of a few byes in there, cd to the dir and execute while true; do find .; done [11:46] beruic, yes, but what happens if your hard drive screws up before you figure that out? [11:46] iKernel: Too dirty. Shouldn't happen too soon, just don't want it to wear out [11:46] -> ubuntu can see hardware but none of sound... [11:47] trud: i've got an auzentech on my desktop. ubuntu won't recognize that card and i just won't have sound in ubuntu, correct? [11:48] no one?? this is bugging me out!

[11:55] do you think we'll see better audio support for linux in the future? it's a shame because i love music and have to use windows to get quality [11:55] anyone know anything about the dreaded VERR_ACCESS_DENIED error in virtual box? [11:56] nariman_m: you know there is a channel #vbox ? [11:56] LA-Snow: use alsa [11:56] I have great audio quality with it [11:56] guntbert: nope, but now I know. thanks for the help!

[11:59] Hunt5, nor sure I have never used that have you googled it ? [11:59] om26er: #launchpad may help you on that topic [12:00] does anyone know if an auzentech x-fi will work with linux using alsa? [12:00] weinmann: try doing a complete removal of samba and then reinstalling if "sudo dpkg-reconfigure samba" [12:00] LA-Snow: use the X-Fi Drivers for linux, and yes it will work [12:00] LA-Snow: at least it should [12:00] anyone: can you tell me, where to download cool ubuntu logon screens....? [12:00] Xaero252: interesting, i haven't been able to find any x-fi drivers for linux [12:00] Xaero252 i removed it with --purge and still same if i try to use dpkg-reconfigure it says samba is broken [12:00] hey [12:01] Xfact: gnome-look.org [12:01] Xaero252: on auzentech's site it doesn't support linux [12:01] i'm having a problem with my connected surround system [12:01] LA-Snow: http://opensource.creative.com/ [12:01] i don't get any subwoofer signal until i go to sound preferences and switch the hardware configuration [12:01] Rova...: thanks.... [12:01] Xaero252: thanks [12:01] Xaero252: how does alsa relate to all of this? [12:01] then it works, but it is lost once rhythmbox opens a different file [12:02] LA-Snow, its a proprietary driver provided by creative, it should provide both Alsa and OSS compatibility for X-Fi chips, however, I'm not sure since yours is an Auzentech x-fi (uses an x-fi chip by creative) if the driver will control it properly, my X-Fi worked out of the box with 9.10 [12:02] anyone: What is actually 'artwork' for Ubuntu? [12:03] Xaero252: your x-fi was a card made by creative? [12:03] weinmann: Try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [12:03] hey [12:03] kinja-sheep tyvm seems to work :o [12:03] I encrypted my home folder, and I don't remember the password... How can I get it back? [12:03] LA-Snow: yes, however the X-Fi chip should be the same, the only differences would be the rest of the semiconductors and the actually audio inputs and outputs [12:03] weinmann: Welcome. :o [12:04] monokrome: no way - sorry [12:04] I'm getting errors while gtk-despotify, can someone figure out what's wrong, if I'm missing some package: http://pastebin.org/70981 [12:04] guntbert: What kind of encryption does it use? [12:04] monokrome: RSA encryption iirc, on a lighter note, you may be able to brute force it with a few TB's worth of rainbow tables :D [12:05] Xaero252: i think you're correct. reason i went with auzentech is to avoid the bloatware drivers that creative has for windows [12:06] anyone: Do you think using too many effects for desktop will slow down the performance level? [12:06] Xaero252: How long would that take? [12:06] has anyone got nouveau working on powerpc on karmic [12:06] Xfact, depends mostly on hardware specs and the load levels [12:07] Xaero252: http://ocaoimh.ie/is-rsa-encryption-broken/ [12:07] psycho_oreos: and I think mainly depends on graphics card... well, thanks for suggestion :) [12:08] Xfact, not really but mostly that yes [12:08] monokrome: please see http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html about the encryption technique [12:08] How can I install Microsoft Office with Wine if I have no CD drive on my netbook [12:08] ok. Thank you, guntbert. [12:09] Tiders: You use OpenOffice, or pirate MS office. Tough I don't see why you would want to do that [12:09] how do I unistall VMware?? I can't find it in synaptics and the command sudo vmware-uninstall.pl dosn't work [12:09] Tiders: so ms office is on a CD? [12:09] guntbert: Do you know if it's possible to encrypt an external drive in Ubuntu? [12:10] Jamed, Yes [12:10] LA-Snow: Auzentech has put out a press release saying they won't be developing drivers for their X-Fi products, so just pray that the Creative driver works for your X-Fi chip, if not there was a thread here about a patch for the creative drivers: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/auzentech-x-fi-prelude-driver-drama-o-639709/ [12:10] guntbert: Never mind. I bet that's answered later in this article [12:10] Tiders: try copying them on a usb stick on another pc and install from there [12:11] monokrome: You can encrypt anything. [12:11] kinja-sheep: I mean, a drive that I already have data on [12:12] What is that one command someone gave me yesterday to copy a CD to a .ISO file [12:13] monokrome: You'll have to move the data somewhere safely before you make a new encrypted partition.

[12:16] oh, it uses AES =] [12:17] Hello, I had a power outage and I had to hard-reset my computer because of a deadlock. With my surprise I saw no fsck being run on reboot. Is it normal? [12:17] the hardware config in sound preferences doesn't seem to work properly [12:17] anybody else having problems with surround sound? [12:17] Tiders: You know Brasero have the option to clone disc. [12:17] deviad: fsck should only run if problems possibly existed at time of hard reboot, I think. [12:18] I think it runs based on a journal check [12:18] I forgot that I'm using ext4, when I used ext3 I saw also a fsck running every 5 - 10 reboots.. [12:18] . [12:18] so far I haven't seen fsck being run even once... that's weird to me [12:18] Whats the best way to check disks for bad sectors? [12:19] deviad: ext4 is probably better at handling this :) [12:19] Tiders: smarmontools I would say [12:20] Tiders: smartmontools [12:20] hello hackers, i am using ubuntu 9.04. i ust installed KompoZer. but it crashes after a min giving error segmentation fault. any patch or solution on this? [12:21] fosser: That is because the repos holds an old version [12:21] monokrome, I got worried because of some complaints about ext4 losing data [12:21] Rovanion: so if i installed latest version then problem will get solved? [12:22] fosser: There is an article online that says they solved the problem by deleting their .komposer directory and restarting. I wouldn't recommend this, but moving it to something like .kompose.backup might be useful to test [12:22] fosser: I will not go into the stupidity of completely freezing the repos on launch of a distro. But rather provide you with this link that you may get a newer version: http://kompozer.net/download.php [12:22] !iso [12:22] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[12:22] can someone help me....i recently got rid of windows because it was destroying my computer. [12:22] it works better than i could have expected, my comp is running much faster BUT when loading a page on mozilla it takes a long time...says its looking the page up [12:23] takes much longer than normal [12:23] deviad: I think you can force an fsck on reboot with: shutdown -rF now [12:23] i tried arora but it takes even longer [12:23] Just read an article that said that anyway [12:23] pozzy: Try a different browser such as Arora and see if it occurs en that browser too. [12:24] pozzy: maybe it's dns issue [12:24] god, this surround issue is driving me crazy [12:24] Whats with the IP range from china trying to open VNC connections everywhere? [12:24] monokrome, thank you. I was going to look for that! :) [12:24] Rovanion: monokrome : thanks a lot [12:25] deviad: No problem. [12:25] corecode: what kind of sound card do you have, and whats the issue? [12:25] trying [12:25] Same to you, fosser. [12:25] Xaero252: hda [12:25] fosser: Don't thank me, just come back some day and help someone yourself [12:25] Pay it forward and I'm all happy [12:25] yah sure [12:25] Xaero252: it is not doing proper surround until i go to sound properties and change the hardware config [12:26] corecode: is it not saving the settings for permanent use? [12:26] Xaero252: even though it remembers the hardware config, if playing a different song in rhythmbox, it won't be surround [12:26] Xaero252: so i have to select some other hardware config, like analog stereo, then it works. then i can switch back to 5.1 [12:27] Xaero252: happens for rhythmbox and totem [12:27] corecode: very strange... only rhythmbox and totem? [12:28] I'm getting errors while gtk-despotify, can someone figure out what's wrong, if I'm missing some package: http://pastebin.org/70981 [12:28] what else could i try === Enzo_01 is now known as e01 [12:28] corecode: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1251738 [12:29] Xaero252: well i can select that option [12:29] Xaero252: and then it works, but just until the player stops playing [12:30] corecode: are you on 9.04?

[13:10] narc: good old... "mouse" driver. [13:10] narc: you sure? [13:10] meway: whats your issue with wine? [13:10] well I downloaded some packets and it uninstalled itself [13:11] or it seems that way [13:11] "it takes naps and facebooks all day and won't get to work" :D [13:11] Xaero252: any idea of why it may have done that? [13:11] !doesntwork [13:11] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [13:11] doneill: Yes, sure. Plus, it worked fine since I installed Karmic, and on Jaunty too. But suddenly, last time I updated, I almost lost my left click. [13:11] It's all capricious now [13:12] Narc: do you have a Protocol and Device option set? [13:12] doneill: Ya, Protocol is set on "auto" and Device on "/dev/psaux" [13:12] meway: what exactly is it doing/not doing, does typing in wine on the terminal print usage remarks for wine? does typing winecfg bring up the wine configuration, could you have possibly installed a package dependant on the "wine" package and had the wine1.2 package installed and had your previous wine install get overwritten? [13:13] I started my X11 using startx and run ratpoison as WM (for my thtv box). Anyway, If I put a USB stick into it's not mounted. Isn't mount done by hal??? [13:13] Xaero252: I try to reinstall it and I get the following error [13:13] Narc: so it is a PS2 mouse? [13:13] Xaero252: Package dependencies cannot be resolved [13:13] #pdo [13:13] Xaero252: 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. [13:13] doneill: No, it's a wireless USB trackball. [13:13] All kinds of things broke for me on the Karmic upgrade but I've decided not to blame the devs. I haven't been keeping good notes along the way, as I've been installing and customizing stuff; I haven't been making proper backups. So it's not clear, even to me, where my system was *before* the upgrade; it's no surprise that I'm having trouble with stuff now. [13:14] Narc: .. well there's yer prollum [13:14] Narc: try setting the device to /dev/input/mice [13:14] I have a strange problem on Ubuntu 9.10. Whenever I minimize Windows under Gnome the Window disappears. It is not minimized to the panel but is gone. What could be wrong and how can I fix it? [13:14] Narc: also, i've had best experience using evdev lately [13:14] Xaero252: nope, not fixed [13:14] Xaero252: dunno why it worked [13:14] doneill: Oh, I see. I'm gonna do this and restart X, right ? [13:14] Xaero252: The problem just occured after looking threw a forum to get my DVD's to work with vlc media player [13:15] Xaero252: i think i broke pulseaudio, so gstreamer used alsa directly [13:15] doneill: But why did it worked fine before then ? [13:15] Narc: you don't have to [13:15] Narc: in a terminal run: xsetpointer /dev/input/mice [13:15] corecode: undo what you did O.o [13:15] Xaero252: yea [13:15] Narc: i have no idea, but /dev/psaux is for ps2 mice. [13:15] diddy, make sure that window selector is available on gnome panel. [13:16] Xaero252: now i have sound + volume, but again no subwoofer [13:16] Narc: just because the horse drove the truck once doesn't mean it made any sense. [13:16] petsounds, how? [13:16] corecode: but audio from all 5 speakers? [13:16] doneill: Haha, true [13:16] anyone knows software remote desktop through NAT? [13:16] Xaero252: no [13:16] meway: I'm not certain but you must have installed a package that requires something that conflicts with a package wine requires [13:16] Narc: "xsetpointer -l" should list valid devices for xinput too [13:16] Xaero252: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [13:17] corecode: so we are back to square one? [13:17] Xaero252: indeed [13:17] Xaero252: well it seems to be a pulseaudio issue [13:17] doneill: Ok, I'll try it then, thanks a lot [13:17] corecode: i'd purge pulseaudio [13:17] i'd rather fix it [13:18] corecode: what do you use pulseaudio for? [13:18] i have no idea [13:18] doneill: I'm gonna reboot and see if it works. [13:18] me either.. [13:18] does alsa mix several sound channels? [13:18] corecode: yep. [13:18] doneill: I use pulse audio because alsa fails at mixing imho [13:18] corecode: in and out [13:19] Xaero252: pulse audio fails and .. doing.. any.. audio [13:19] doneill: and it also won't let a game "lock" the audio device *cough* Stepmania's horrible codebase *cough* [13:19] s/and/at/ [13:19] diddy, you can add the Window Selector if you want. [13:20] the only good thing about pulseaudio is that it isn't *quite* as invasive on my PC as avahi. [13:20] I need sleep >< === Cobi is now known as Guest88912 [13:20] Xaero252: wait i think this is what did it sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [13:20] but from where i come from, adding steps to debugging, configuration, and management, is NOT the best way to 'make my life easier', which both pulseaudio and avahi do, with zero benefit to me even when they are working properly. [13:21] I wonder... !sleep [13:21] Xaero252: how do i get rid of sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [13:21] meway: type libdvdcss2 in the search box on synaptic [13:21] Xaero252: command to uninstall? don't care if it breaks vlc dvd's [13:21] Xaero252 :( k [13:22] meway or you can do it via command line sudo apt-get remove libdvdcss2 [13:22] kk [13:22] I'm going to bed now though, I need some sleep [13:23] gnight [13:23] petsound, you mean without it I would experience the problems that I see? [13:23] Xaero252 nope same error I will have to look into more :( [13:23] Xaero252 gtg thanks for trying :) [13:24] Xaero252 well actually you know any program that will get my ipod to work without wine? [13:24] doneill: Thanks for your help, but it doesn't work. Left click's dead again. [13:24] petsound, I think that worked. You rock! Thx [13:24] anyone know of a program that will get my ipod to work? [13:25] petsounds, I think that worked. You rock! Thx [13:25] nvm later [13:25] Narc: that's pretty bizarre [13:25] Narc: do your other USB devices work properly? [13:25] doneill: I'm used to bizarre bugs [13:25] doneill: Yes, I think so [13:25] diddy, np :-) [13:27] doneill: The keyboard is PS2 so I can't tell, but the webcam and stuff works fine [13:30] doneill: I read about HAL messing up the mouse ans keyboard but it doesn't look like it. The Alt-Tab combo doesn't work either. [13:31] Narc: well, alt tab doesn't work reliably for me either with compiz on [13:31] doneill: Oh, ok. But the strange thing is that it doesn't work even with Compiz off I think. [13:32] Narc: i'm starting to think something isn't working properly with your PC, peripherals, or software, but that is merely a hunch. [13:32] unfortunately without physically sitting down at your terminal and fiddling with it, i don't think i can come up with any suggestions. [13:33] have you tried surfing ubuntu forums for similar issues? [13:33] meway: what generation ipod [13:33] doneill: Yes, and the only people who experienced it are laptop users or beta testers [13:34] well, your input device isn't much different from a laptop trackball, how did they fix it? [13:35] doneill: I thought it was update related 'cause it happened right after I updated, but can be a coincidence [13:35] doneill: They didn't. [13:35] oh i imagine it is an update issue [13:35] doneill: They waited for a fix to come up. [13:35] as a last ditch effort, you could move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old and restart X [13:35] hi [13:36] that would force it to reconfigure [13:36] but unfortunately it's 6:35am here and i should get to bed, i have work in a couple hours [13:36] best of luck [13:36] doneill: Thanks a lot [13:37] I experience problem with Wicd network manager on 8.04 [13:38] !themes [13:38] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy === revygttam is now known as mattgyver [13:42] 3 [13:43] A five minutes of silence?

I'm using 9.10 on my netbook, and was wondering if anyone knows of a mp3 software for ipods that works well? Banshee seems to read but not sync, amarok not at all. I'd love podcast syncing ideally. [14:06] !ipod [14:06] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [14:06] ondra, yes, that should solve the problem, hence the device works fine in jaunty and karmic, how to "backport the kernel" [14:07] SuperRoach, rhythmbox works well, i am suprised that amarok is not working [14:07] ondra: By installing "linux-backports-modules-karmic" [14:08] Is there any way for me to find out why my server has multiple instances of sshd running instead of one?

[14:10] kinja-sheep, ok, I will give it a try [14:10] ondra: Many users have came in with weird occasional wireless problems (irony, just like you) and enabling the backport kernel often did the trick for them.

You have one running that's the master that's listening for connections. Every connection made forks off another copy with a lowered privilege. It's a security feature of openssh. [14:15] how do I find out if the cpu is 32 or 64 bit ? [14:15] MindSpark: If you're on Ubuntu, in terminal, type "sudo lscpu" [14:15] sziasztok [14:15] gdb: But i only have one open connection to it at the moment, there are like 6 running though [14:16] Can i use older gcc to build a package? The gcc-4.4 gives me errors on make [14:16] LucidPerry, ok, and which field says about 32/64 ? [14:17] MindSpark: It should say "Architecture:" and then x86 or x86-64. But actually I'd recommend running less /proc/cpuinfo instead. It's more detailed. [14:17] Milp: Ah, that I don't know then. Do you have any other ssh connections open using something other than ssh? (ie; sftp, scp, etc?) [14:17] LucidPerry, that's what I did at first, but nothing really says that [14:17] MindSpark: Well, what does it say for "model name"? [14:18] LucidPerry, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz [14:19] MindSpark: P4s came in both 32 and 64bit. So...back to lscpu. If you got "x86" for Architecture, it's 32bit. If you got x86-64, it's 64bit. [14:19] what?

[14:36] Lucas_: sem o espaço em frente [14:37] Halvor, the ntp daemon might need restarting after installing it. a reboot will do this, I can't remember how I did it on my remote server but there were instructions on some website [14:37] agus: well tjhe older releases are still avail. but the repos have all been moved to some less used archive server. and you basically are on your own with any support issues with them. You would need to edit your sources.list to point to the right server [14:37] lowki 8.04 [14:37] bitplane: I'll try a restart. Maybe both will work after that.

[14:40] btw, what old version of ubuntu that the repo still available? [14:40] Ah. I see - better to "make a backup copy of the dvd" than attempt to legally play what I own. Yep. Defective by design [14:40] anyone else have an issue with pastebinit posting the wrong url? [14:40] last night it happened to me twice. [14:40] kinja-sheep, it writer sort of help...

Because mine only contains one line and that even though im logged into sshd right now [14:53] lowki: ctrl sysrq k [14:54] lowki: may be alt instead of ctrl.. [14:54] Milp: there's usually tons logged there - like cron an so forth - whenever sudo occurs, etc. [14:54] bastidrazor: thanks [14:54] Is there a way to `apt-get upgrade' only the security-related packages? [14:55] Dunkirk: nah don't do it [14:55] lowki, it is alt+sysrq(usually printscreen)+k to restart X in 9.10 (as bastidrazor eventually suggested) [14:55] Dunkirk: can get the updates [14:55] instead [14:55] how to run java applet in ubuntu while i try to run using the command appletviewer filename.java as i do in xp it got error AppletViewer properties file: /home/prince/.hotjava/properties Using defaults.

[14:57] Travis-42, i'm also using a logitech mouse and it seems to work okay here [14:57] Dunkirk: I think the upgrade manager has an option that automatically does the security updates.

[14:59] cause this 9.10 is broken [14:59] Halvor, can you see the flash plugin in the Firefox plugins list? [15:00] lowki, there is no supported method to "downgrade" after installing 9.10 - if you want to go back to 9.04 you need to clean install [don't forget to backup you files!] [15:00] lowki, what's broken about 9.10? [15:00] mbeierl i found out what was causing this, a bug in the syslog conf template caused the logs to be logged in the wrong location ;) [15:00] Dunkirk: I don't know. I just threw that out because I thought it might help. [15:00] I'm numbing it. How do I remount nfs shares that are already in fstab ? [15:00] Dunkirk: you could comment out the repo's you don't want.. that is one way to do what you're wanting [15:00] craigbass1976: sudo mount -a [15:01] Dunkirk: my mouse don't work, the screensaver brakes the x session [15:01] it's pretty horrible [15:01] bastidrazor, Oh, in /etc/apt/sources.list.

[15:05] lowki, Have you created an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or are you just letting X configure itself? [15:05] my program compile sucess but while i run using appletviewer filename.java its give me warning [15:05] I tried making some modifications to get the mouse workign [15:05] but it didn't work [15:05] I'm having a problem with Skype that I'm hoping someone can help with. I'm on Ubuntu Karmic, and running Skype 2.0.0.72, since I couldn't get the latest version to work with my USB microphone. If I have Skype running, no other programs will produce sound (i.e. Amarok, vlc, flash in the browser, etc.). If any of those programs are active when I start skype, skype will fail to produce sound & won't work properly. Is there a way I can allo [15:05] w side-by-side usage of skype, as all my other programs seem to get along just fine when it comes to sharing audio... [15:06] lowki, I would try an `Xorg -configure' and let X tell you what it thinks it sees. [15:06] is there like a big font pack i can install?? or do most people just copy the windows/fonts directory into their ubuntu installation? === ripps is now known as ripps|sleep [15:06] i'm wanting to do some graphics with gimp, but there aren't many fonts installed on the basic system [15:07] my program compile sucess but while i run using appletviewer filename.java its give me warning how i get rid off this [15:07] karleeto: most people copy the windows fonts. There are many font packs available on torrent sites, but keep in mind that some of them are not freeware [15:07] lowki, Also, pay attention to the mouse device. You might be needing to use the event device (/dev/event/mice), rather than psaux. [15:07] Dunkirk: says X server already active [15:07] karleeto: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [15:07] it'll get the usual MS fonts installed. [15:08] lowki, Yeah, you'll have to do it at the command line. Switch to a command prompt with ctrl-alt-f1, and then /etc/init.d/gdm stop. [15:08] brummbaer: thanks! [15:08] seems my skype audio question is out of the realm of general expertise lol [15:08] Xepera: i'm comfortable with downloading a pirated font set, i'll look that up too ;) [15:08] thanks folks! [15:09] lowki, This will kill your X session. It would help to have a nother computer nearby for Googling while you tweak your config... [15:09] karleeto: cool, enjoy -- there's a lot of great ones out there :P [15:09] "font pack" [15:09] How can I install the Adobe flash plugin for Mozilla in 8.0.4 when it doesn't install when I follow the instructions? [15:09] lowki, YOu can test your modifications without starting gdm again by just doing `startx'. [15:09] Mozilla = Firefox [15:09] Halvor: You can go into Synaptic and install flashplugin-nonfree [15:09] Dunkirk: nope still dont'work [15:10] it was working fine in 9.04 [15:10] Xepera: What/where is synaptic? [15:10] oh wow, ext4 is so slow [15:10] Halvor: are you on Kubuntu or Ubuntu? [15:10] Halvor, it's the advanced package manager found in the system menu [15:10] Ubuntu [15:10] exit [15:10] Halvor: press ALT+F2 & type "synaptic" (without quotes) and press enter [15:10] yeah, karleeto, you should also look up 'free ttf fonts' and 'install ttf ubuntu', if you're using fonts for graphics, there are some spiff free graphics sites out there. :) [15:11] Xepera: Found it in the systems menu [15:11] GNOME Do is just awesome, it should come with Ubuntu by default [15:11] What's the easiest way to join a domain? [15:11] Can anyone help me? i need to manually set my monitor up in xorg.conf as it defaults too 640x480 and wont go any higher i am just stuck for what to do [15:11] Halvor: that is the best way to install software on your system... always check that first [15:12] Xepera: OK! [15:12] mdk_ what graphics driver are you using? [15:12] brummbaer: i'm about to check my torrent site for a font pack, i just installed msttcorefonts too === matt_ is now known as Guest4573 [15:12] If u like gnome do u should check out docky [15:12] brummbaer: so where do i stick the ttf fonts once i've download a font pack? [15:12] I mean, what card.. I'm just guessing that it's the problem anyway [15:12] dt3k, is docky the Apple wannabe thing? [15:13] brummbaer: i've forgotten where the font dir is, and isnt there some command i run to update the font cache after i copy them? [15:13] Kind of [15:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/351287/ [15:13] the OSX dock [15:13] brummbaer: oh, thats why u were telling me to google "install ttf ububtu [15:13] !fonts | karleeto [15:13] karleeto: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [15:13] Paste of the Pg error I'm getting after the newest update. [15:13] im using ubuntu minimal. What does preload actually do and what happened to readahead? [15:13] Xepera: Should I type 'flashplugin-nonfree' somewhere in Synaptic? [15:14] Halvor, adobe [15:14] No one know how I can join an active directory domain? [15:14] i installed through envy, and throught the restricted and via tty1 with the downloaded drivers [15:15] Xepera: 'flashplugin-nonfree' has a green checkbox. I guess that means it is somehow in the system already? [15:16] so there is no rollback feature? [15:16] dt3k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [15:16] i just have to reinstall? [15:16] why not install ubuntu restricted extras like everyone else? [15:16] hiatus: The way I see it... preload caches all running applications so it knows ten popular applications and is "ready" to load anytime. And readahead rearrange the boot files to shave a blink. [15:16] lowki, that's correct. [15:16] !who [15:16] 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 :) [15:16] hiatus, i was thinking that [15:16] yet again [15:16] i installed through envy, and throught the restricted and via tty1 with the downloaded drivers - bitplane [15:17] i like have to reinstall once a month nowadays [15:17] oi [15:17] so basically its precaching? [15:17] grrr, another 64bit flash problem, anyone care to help? Flash works but I need to tab+enter to select/play flash content (ubuntu karmic) [15:17] lowki, I've installed an operating system on my two main workstations a combined 6 times in the past 3 weeks. [15:17] hiatus: preload monitors applications that users run, and by analyzing this data, predicts what applications users might run, and fetches those binaries and their dependencies into memory for faster startup times. [15:18] Hey, I locked my computer for a moment, walked away, came back aand unlocked it, and now my mouse is not moving ... I've tried more than one device, so I'm fairly certain that it's a software issue. How would I go about getting my mouse to work again, short of restarting, or restarting X? [15:18] Dunkirk: wow, [15:18] I can't settle on whether to run Ubuntu or my longtime friend Gentoo. [15:18] exodus_ms, I have a similar problem. works in Google Chrome but not Firefox [15:18] can anyone give me a hand on reseting my password ubuntu 8.04 [15:18] hiatus: By loading them the memory already. [15:18] all those backups [15:18] meh, i'll install it [15:18] Xepera / bitplane / thiebaude : Adobe flashplayer appears to be installed, but the Facebook app which requires it says it isn't. [15:18] lowki, I keep all data on servers, so I can wipe any time. [15:18] bitplane, ya, but I want to use FF :) [15:18] s/them/them in [15:18] bitplane, which version of flash are you using? [15:19] Dunkirk: i keep my backups on my server [15:19] Dunkirk, gentoo *is* good ... if you're worried about code optimized for your processor, go with gentoo, but ubuntu is really slick and has a lot of support options. [15:19] Anyone here using Pg and know what this *new* error is? [15:19] karleeto: i would never tell you to google something, you should 'yahoo' it. [15:19] :) [15:19] Halvor, open a console and type "cd /usr/ && find | grep flashplayer.so" [15:19] * thiebaude but dont bing it,lol [15:20] eurythmia_, I tried using the Phoronix test suite over the weekend, I got NO DIFFERENCE between Ubuntu amd64 and my "custom" Gentoo setup. On the exact same machine, mind you. [15:20] bitplane, woah ... that's a time consuming command. [15:20] Good lord I have to do all that just to get on a domain? Sheesh [15:20] eurythmia_, So a lot of my thinking about why I should stick with Gentoo just flew out the window. [15:20] eurythmia yeah I know, I'm lazy so the computer can work more [15:20] Dunkirk, did you recompile everything on gentoo with -O3 ? ;) [15:20] bitplane, locate flashplayer.so :P [15:20] bitplane: Why not use find properly by doing: find /usr/ -name "flashplayer.so" [15:20] Hi ! [15:20] Halvor: did you restart your browser? [15:21] can anyone help change a user password [15:21] eurythmia_, No, I always use "safe" CFLAGS, with -02. So, yeah, I could probably squeeze something, but I haven't seen any gain yet. [15:21] with locate, you have to run updatedb once in a while, but you can get chron to do that for you. [15:21] biznock09: Provide some more information and we might be able to? What user? What have you tried? [15:21] Xepera: I did [15:21] bitplane: I get to filepaths [15:21] eurythmia_, I suppose you're going to tell me that Ubuntu already uses -O2, and I should have been at -O3 on Gentoo to see any gains... [15:21] Dunkirk, then my suggestion is to go with ubuntu, it's a lot easier to administer, it's pretty, and there is lots of documentation and how tos. [15:21] heh, I hate locate/updatedb :) just a waste of cpu/hd cycles to me [15:22] Dunkirk, I don't know that for sure, but I suspect so.

The files are ./lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so and ./lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [15:26] Doonz: What does the entry in your crontab look like? [15:26] Doonz: Full path to the script. [15:26] doonz, probably cause your missing paths to the programs in your cron script [15:26] Doonz, is your cron daemon running? [15:26] * * * * * /home/tvshows/.runme [15:26] Dunkirk: yes [15:26] Halvor, looks like it's not in the firefox plugins directory. strange [15:26] tvshows@fast:~$ ps ax | grep 'cron' 908 ?

I'm getting problems with it on my mac [15:27] When I type: sudo su - It gives me "Error" that's it nothing else. any ideas? [15:27] bitplane: I hope that can be workd around somehow [15:27] I can hear the sound but when I record my voice and I play the recording it sounds choppy... === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:28] occy: Use: sudo -i [15:28] scratchy... [15:28] stuttering I guess is the right word... [15:28] deviad: How do you know your voice does not sound choppy? o.O [15:28] Halvor, you shouldn't have to work around it, but I guess you could [15:28] jpds: has su - been deprecated? [15:28] bitplane: Just direct me to the smoothest solution and I'll be most happy :-) [15:28] kinja-sheep, when I play the recording there's some sort of stuttering... [15:28] occy: No, you should have never used it. === sniper is now known as Guest3724 [15:29] is there a console app, that opens a file based on file type? [15:29] occy: Well, sudo -i does what it does. [15:29] deviad: You could try padevchooser [15:29] jpds: odd I've been doing that since... 96? [15:29] like double clicking in the browser? [15:29] #linuasc [15:29] occy: Ubuntu has always used sudo? [15:29] jpds: yes [15:29] patdk-wk: the path is correct [15:29] okay I have my final fantasy playstation disc here, and I have pcsx. How to use it? Evertime I put it in pcsx tells me its not a valid playstation disc! [15:29] jpds: well I've always used the su - when becoming root. [15:30] I'm using the web interface for IRC. Is there some way I can not see all the joins and quits in the channel? [15:30] hence: sudo su - would allow me to become root. Anyhoo the odd thing is... why does it give me a generic "Error" heh [15:30] Halvor, remove the package from apt and install it manually from Adobe's website [15:30] Halvor: Turn off the join/quit feature in your Web Interface (if it exists).

[15:31] yes what apt [15:31] Halvor, the package manager.. wherever you installed it from [15:31] ????? [15:32] macman: use xchat or at least pidgin. if your hardcore, use irssi [15:32] aptitude is the command line linux package manager... you use "apt-get" to install stuff. all those GUI tools use that in the background I think [15:32] irssi is nice [15:32] bitplane: I installed it from Firefox, but the problem is that it isn't recognized in Firefox [15:32] simple and without the fancy eyesores :) [15:32] Halvor, just remove it from the applications menu [15:32] and install from the website instead [15:33] Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) [15:33] hey guys im having trouble getting a crontab job to run. i can run the script by just typing the script in terminal as the user. but when i wait for contrab to run it it never runs [15:33] :P [15:33] bitplane: I don't see flashplayer in the applications menu.

[15:36] thanks [15:36] mun_: as in is newer rewriten better [15:36] bitplane: I just got the advise that synaptic was the preferrable tool for this type of work. Are you saying it should rather be avoided? [15:36] erUSUL, how is it conventionally pronounced? aircrack-'N''G' spelt out? [15:37] in /etc/default/grub is not one sinlge entry mentioned. where are my debian, ubuntu, windows lines? [15:37] Halvor, it's a bit more in-depth and you can work around things.

[15:39] Halvor, you can use aptitude instead of apt-get [15:39] if you so prefer [15:39] hm... is it possible to install ubuntu in an external HD and boot from it? [15:39] oph3lia: Now I have no idea what you are referring to. I'm not sure I have any of thos programs. [15:40] Halvor, just use synaptic package manager. aptitude is the command line version === jmburges1 is now known as jmburgess [15:40] bitplane: OK. Should I do 'Removal' or 'Complete removal'?

I guess restarting the cron daemon must have fixed it [16:06] Doonz: it might be because your cron daemon is not running, check that first. It also can be (for example) that the script calls a command that is not in the PATH.

[16:07] Doonz: to capture STDERR from script scheduled in cron, add "2 > /tmp/cron.err" to the line in the crontab, or even "> /tmp/cron.log 2>&1", which will send all output (ERR as well as OUT) to that logfile. That way you could debug your issue [16:08] oCean_, thx I am getting 4096, so one block is 4096 bytes? [16:08] bitplane: In /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ I already have flashplugin-alternative.so.

[16:28] soreau: close, but nope. I can play portions of the dvd - it just that the movie "skips around" instead of playing sequentially [16:28] soreau, on wine? [16:28] gunbert there is a flashplugin-installer in synaptic [16:28] joaopinto: Oh if you are one of those FPS fiends, just forget it [16:29] oCean_: in other words: feature, bug, or by design? lol [16:29] halvor: and Vista isn't a strange name?

[16:32] soreau, about this whole filcker thing! [16:32] Apollo2366: what you're looking to do is TwinView, and it depends on what you have for a graphics card [16:32] filipechichorro: If you can free up some space by say, shrinking a different partition, you can expand the ubuntu partition to make it bigger [16:32] im building images for our datacenter i would like to get the jump on this now instead of having to dist upgrade in 3 months. [16:32] soreau, ok, they didn't work for me with the current drivers, and from all my readings 3D on the opensource drivers was unusable for game, I will try from xedgers [16:32] ActionParsnip28, No love yet, any other ideas?

[16:33] joaopinto: Yes, you will definitely need xorg-edgers for any ati HD card [16:33] h00k: Well I did have TwinView enabled, but it looked horrible because the monitors are different sizes and seperated by some distance. I guess what I'm trying to achieve is another actual desktop environment. With it's own desktop cube and everything. Is that possible?

[17:02] Diverdude, ups, yes that's the one; sorry [17:02] hello again! i've already ran Computer Janitor to free some space in the partition, but because i instaled ubuntu yesterday, it still didn't recognise anything to clean. that way, i'm trying to extent my partition i use for ubuntu because when i first created it it had only 4gb or so, which for me is useless. I already instaled a plugin to get the partition editor in the administration panel. i tried to follow the instructions to make [17:02] ActionParsnip28: nope... no APs [17:02] Guest81271:try xdm [17:02] ifconfig -a doesn't show the card either [17:02] Alan502, ahh...there i have been in and turn up all volumes [17:02] filipechichorro: try bleachbit [17:02] newhero? xdm? thats a command? [17:02] Boidoh: You've heard of Mac, yes? Ubuntu (and Linux) is a completely different operating system from MS Windows, just like Mac OSX is different from MS Windows.

[17:03] ActionParsnip28: bleachbit? sorry i'm kinda of noob here... what is that for? :P [17:03] guest25333: i'd remove all the ndiswrapper stuff and the fwcutter stuff and start from scratch [17:03] !lucid | schilli [17:03] schilli: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [17:03] Ok.

Type alsamixer and enter. [17:04] it still deletes unnecessary files from a partition used by Windows vista?

I don't intend to run, just install... (ex: running ubuntu from hda1), want to install ubuntu from iso to hdb1. later I'll remove hdb and put in another computer.

[17:08] ActionParsnip28, but that will let me control the whole computer right? i just want to connnect the monitro over the network, as if it was connected to my computer directly [17:08] This room is too flooded [17:09] Diverdude, precisely, i was testing that yesterday. But i did not finish my tests though. [17:09] pzn: install it to the second drive as well as grub on the second drive, then have the bios boot the current drive. you can remove the server installed system drive and jam it in another system then [17:09] janel: That is a boot error with grub-- the OS is not even starting. I am unsure what the command it withing grub to choose the boot OS. [17:09] Alan use IBM Lantastic [17:10] alan502: the full desktop will be shown, so yes [17:10] ActionParsnip28: I dont want to "shutdown" current running ubuntu... just want to do some iso->hdb procedure... [17:10] i have a urgent problem! When i try to start up my ubuntu-comp, there is just a small white terminal up in the left cornet, everything else is black. I tried the xdm-command. What can i do? please help me! [17:10] Ok. Where might I get that info? [17:10] I currently have Karmic 32bit with the encrypted home directory set from the installer, I'd like to install the 64bit version instead, how is this going to work with my home directory? [17:10] Alan502, hmm... so you got skype working on ubuntu? [17:10] I'm back [17:10] well... I uninstalled fwcutter [17:11] but ndiswrapper still doesn't show the card [17:11] pzn: you could use the usb-creator to spit the iso + some config to the drive. it will boot like a livecd [17:11] Diverdude, not yet. I'm testing now.. it seems turning up the "microphone booster" helps but there is not a clear sound. It might be the poor quality of my microphone tho. [17:11] Ok [17:11] pzn, Sorry Ive missed some stuff... What are you trying to do [17:12] Despite following instructions here and here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192296 and here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 I have not managed to get any of the requisite drivers (audio/touchpad/keyboard backlight) working on my Macbook Pro [17:12] does anyone know if there is a way to make the user profile on ubuntu sync with a server share? [17:12] Alan502, what computer are you testing on? [17:12] ActionParsnip28, i'm looking for something more like: http://screenrecycler.com/home.html [17:12] This forum is too confusing for me. Too many people. thanks for trying to help [17:12] like how redirected documents works in windows? [17:12] If someone can lend me hand please [17:12] Diverdude, mine :) [17:12] h00k: is it possible to decrypt it, then install 64bit then re-encypt it? i've not used encryptfs as it gets too messy in cases like yous and similar [17:12] janel: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622 I am not even suggesting that this will help you as this is explains grub which will not completely help you just understanding how it works. [17:13] hi [17:13] ActionParsnip28: well, it's autmatically done when I log in [17:13] Alan502, well what type is that? [17:13] ActionParsnip28: I just used the radio button when I installed Karmic [17:13] janel: I suspect that you will be better off simply reloading or booting your cd to repair the os. [17:13] alan502: my irc client doesn't open hyperlinks too well [17:13] everyone oh ok [17:13] ActionParsnip28: I just want to know if...64bit will be able to automatically do this the same way [17:13] who gay here [17:13] i have a urgent problem! When i try to start up my ubuntu-comp, there is just a small white terminal up in the left cornet, everything else is black. I tried the xdm-command. What can i do? please help me! [17:13] Alan502: vnc will allow you to remote control other computers, but it will not send a video signal from your computer to a remote in a fashion similar to having a 2nd monitor (like shown on screenrecyler web page) [17:13] h00k: yes but a special thing decrypts it. can you cancel the encryption in your current OS? [17:14] ActionParsnip28: probably not, no. [17:14] xcv, yes, that's what i thought. Do you think i can achieve something like screenrecycler on linux? [17:14] h00k: that all i know then. encryptfs makes life too complicated for my liking [17:14] Diverdude, i found that turning up the mic boost helps [17:14] connect to hidden network, connect to a new network option is not there in the network manager at the system tray after installing ubuntu 9.10 [17:14] ActionParsnip28, Tiders: I have an ubuntu 9.10 running. I have a new "hd" hot-plugged to the computer. I have a iso image of ubuntu 8.04 server. I want to install ubuntu 8.04 to this new HD... something about debootstrap for debian... which is the procedure for ubuntu? [17:15] Diverdude, and unmuting the mic on the gnome-volume-control [17:15] ActionParsnip28: Thanks for the suggestion, I'll log this into my brain [17:15] Alan502, in the alsamixer? [17:15] pzn: is it usb connected? [17:15] Alan502: i would imagine it's possible, but i have no familiarity with anything that would steer you in the right direction... [17:15] ActionParsnip28: yes [17:15] pzn, Hmm why not boot from a LiveCD and just install it to that HDD? [17:16] Diverdude, it should be possible to do it from both. [17:16] I can not shutdown the only computer that I have right now... [17:16] Tiders: I can not shutdown the only computer that I have right now... [17:16] Alan502, well...my mic is already umuted and works fine in other applications...just in skype, neither the speakers nor the mic works :( [17:16] xcv, ok thanks, i think i'll keep googling and maybe find something. I found synergy, what could help, but i haven't tested it [17:16] Alan502: of course, you could run a windows virtual machine on ubuntu, and presumably run the screenrecyler software inside the virtual machine [17:16] pzn: then use a different one is all i can suggest [17:17] how to lock the screen (gdm-gnome) using the cli [17:17] pzn: or usb-creator may help [17:17] pzn, Not sure then [17:17] ActionParsnip28: maybe install virtualbox and use it to install the new hd? do you think it is a good option? === ThomasHC is now known as xTCx === xTCx is now known as ThomasHC [17:18] pzn: i think it will make an image file on the drive rather than an install. nice idea. i'd as in #vbox === ThomasHC is now known as xTCx [17:19] Diverdude, try playing with the 'Sound Devices' tab of the options menu in skype. The official skype app is still young, and can have problems occasionallly. [17:19] Alan502: oh, and along the same lines... have you checked to see if wine supports screenrecycler? [17:20] Alan502: doubt it would work very well, but ya never know without trying [17:20] xcv, ah, no i haven't. I'll look it up in the wineHQ. With luck i may find it there. [17:20] xcv, but the thing about running screenrecycler on a virtual vm will force me to use the windows vm righ :\ [17:21] cant anyone please help my? im a complete ubuntu-noob, and it seems as my system crashed for no reason after only 1 day of usage.

[17:23] Guest81271: don't panic :-) i'm sure it can be fixed, but perhaps the easiest way to resolve is to reinstall ubuntu -- have you tried that? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:23] b43-phy1 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 6, Type 5, Revision 1) [17:24] Hey, i need help with somthing..

[17:29] nastas: Just be careful not to format your Windows partition--if you manage to not do that, Windows should automatically show up in the GRUB boot manager upon boot and you'll be able to select between the opearting systems. [17:30] Guest81271: well, not all software available for linux is stable [17:30] I am trying to add my Windows partition to grub [17:30] nastas: Shoot, wrong person. Sorry.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:30] Guest81271: i had to google 'xbmc' -- looks cool! but still, after only a day, a reinstall will probably be your easiest path to resolution. especially if your home folder is on its own partition; that way most of the settings will be retained [17:30] chogydan: but this wasnt any software, i was just loggin in and out :S [17:30] Thanks, ChogyDan. [17:30] i have a problem with xorg (i believe not to be the first :P) with karmic and radeon, can someone help me? [17:30] xcv: it wasnt^^ hehe [17:31] hey, I'm getting this error when I'm trying to install libcurl4-openssl-dev: http://pastebin.ca/1737587 ... anyone know what I should do to fix it ? [17:31] ANy ideas for getting sound for youtube? [17:31] I set WEP encryption on my wifi connection on the modem settings page and set it up on my netbook (ubuntu 9.10) it didnt work. so i disabled the secutiry and made the connection open. but the netbook isnt connecting. i restarted the netbook (deleted the wifi connections and also restarted the modem after changing the settings). it dooesnt seem to work. [17:31] Guest81271: So. To get that clear. if you make a cold start of that machine, the system boots until it comes to the X-Server (graphical login screen), but the login screen doesn't show up? Do you have automatic login activated or do you need to type your password normally? [17:32] Guest81271: even if your home isn't on a separate partition, the installer won't overwrite it if you don't repartition. Not something to rely upon, but I believe that is what happens [17:32] Monokrome: use grub.cfg [17:32] Hello there! Im having some trouble with my usb Blue Toothe dongle. The icon that is supposed to apear when going to "Bluetooth" in system preferences Bluetooth is not apearing when checked. I have 2 devices that is now peered with tedy132-0. And also I wanted to know if my Bluetooth headphones with mic will work. I want to talk to friends on skype. [17:32] minimec: thats about it. i have automated on, so it should just enter. [17:33] if I install gcc-4.2, will it coexist with 4.4 or replace it? [17:33] Guest81271: can you get to one of the virtual terminals? ie ctrl+alt+f1? [17:33] can Ubuntu be dual booted with OS X on a mac? [17:33] im gonna check chogydan.. [17:34] chogydan: yes i could [17:34] Guest81271: The problem is, that we don't know f you have a user session error, or a general gdm (X-server) error. As The system was working after install, I have to guess that it is a user-session error. [17:34] Guest81271: maybe check to see if ubuntu-desktop is installed [17:34] using iptables, how can i restrict bandwidth? I have masquerading, this is a gateway [17:35] Hey, any MPT Fusion experts here? [17:35] Alan502, sorry....just lost my network [17:35] Guest81271: anything interesting in dmesg? [17:35] minimec and chogydan: i think this is over my skill. i will propalby just reinstall the piece of crap. Crash after 1 day! pah. im outta here. thx anyways [17:35] Guest81271: CAn you switch to a console wuth F1? [17:35] hey... how would I fix this error: [17:35] config.status: creating Makefile [17:35] config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting [17:35] minimec: yes i could [17:35] Guest81271: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [17:35] okey [17:35] Snowboarder, nm, can i help you? i saw ActionParsnip28 helping you [17:36] Guest81271: O. Switch to the console F1 and login with your name and password. [17:37] anyone? [17:37] Hello! While trying to get various theme engines to work for me, I followed [17:38] Danzl3: did you run ./configure? You should ask upstream [17:38] it seems that the sound preferences gui were much better in 9.04. Why did they degrade it? [17:38] Guest81271: still there? [17:39] yea I did... I ChogyDan [17:39] that's how I got that error [17:39] Snowboarder: its the pulseaudio thing [17:39] I've googled and some artive said to install libcurl4-openssl-dev [17:39] which I did [17:39] but I'm still getting that error [17:39] Hello! When I was going to enable compiz at my desktop, I was asked to install nvidia-glx-new in order for it to work correctly. I did so, rebooted, and found my screen getting black as soon as the login windows appeared. I did a "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new", and I'm back to normal, but now I cannot get any higher resolution than 800x600. Any way to fix it again? [17:40] ChogyDan, what is? [17:40] Snowboarder: the new sounds preferences, It goes along with the PA sound server [17:40] ChogyDan: That doesn't explain how to manually add an OS [17:41] Alan502, yeah...i am having a hard time with skype on ubuntu 9.10 on a T61P thinkpad [17:41] Danzl3: that isn't an error, it is a warning (which may or may not be important) [17:41] WOuld mozilla plugins make any difference in the lack of sound issue for youtube/ [17:41] monokrome: its not autodetected? [17:41] hey [17:41] ChogyDan, I found this on google: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GMF5dyzKQUw/Sfp9GY-XrPI/AAAAAAAABoU/1hLl0Mynyz0/s1600-h/T61_jaunty_sound.png but is unfortunately for 9.04, so I do not have the same adjustment options in 9.10 [17:41] ChogyDan: Yea. It's not autodetected, but I know it's on /dev/sdb - and a script that probes for OS's just found it. [17:42] trism... it doesn't compile properly with that error [17:42] Hello there! Im having some trouble with my usb Blue Toothe dongle. The icon that is supposed to apear when going to "Bluetooth" in system preferences Bluetooth is not apearing when checked. I have 2 devices that is now peered with tedy132-0. And also I wanted to know if my Bluetooth headphones with mic will work. I want to talk to friends on skype. [17:42] Snowboarder, ah your nickname change confused me. Well, did you try empathy? [17:42] i have a newpc with 2 hard drives, 1 harddrive is new and one is old...both were working perfect before...but wehen i installed windows 7 i had to reinstall ubuntu and evertime i try to run it not i just get a blury image on my desktop....any ideas? plz === mp_away is now known as mediaprodigy [17:43] Guest81271: Are you still with us? [17:43] Danzl3: that is unlikely to be a warning that would stop you from compiling, it may cause issues after installing though, but without actually knowing what you're trying to build, can't really help much more [17:44] Alan502, ahh sorry [17:44] i have a new pc with 2 hard drives, 1 harddrive is new and one is old...both were working perfect before...but when i installed windows 7 i had to reinstall ubuntu on my second drive again....and evertime i try to run it i just get a blury image on my desktop....any ideas? plz i cant move my mouse i cant even see it....? [17:44] sorry for the repeat [17:44] Elyria_DeHoffran: how did you install flash? [17:44] !repeat | Dam0 [17:44] Dam0: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [17:44] hello [17:44] sorry [17:44] :) [17:45] I wiped all the installs, then installed flashplugin-installer via synaptics [17:45] hi people.. [17:45] Alan502, yeah....you cannot have skype in empathy it seems [17:45] ChogyDan, I wiped all the installs, then installed flashplugin-installer via synaptics [17:45] Elyria_DeHoffran: hmm, maybe you have one of the flash alternatives installed? [17:45] Snowboarder, did you try changing the setting on the Sound Devices tab of skype's option menu? [17:46] ChogyDan, Ok, let me uninstall evetything again. =) [17:46] can anyone recomend me doing anything to help solce my problem?

[17:47] Alan502, yeah i tried many different settings there, hitting "Make test sound" each time....and nomatter what I seem to choose there is just silence when I press the "testsound" button [17:47] kriox125: the only answer I have heard is through getdeb.net [17:47] grub2 is evil [17:47] ok no one can help me i guess [17:47] Hey, I am on Windows 7 atm, and i want to install Ubuntu on Another Hard drive disk... is it possible?

[17:47] hi [17:47] : im having trouble it isd possible [17:48] kriox125: I don't know why you stiil use 7.04, but OpenOffice 3.1 should run without Problem with old kernels, as it doesn't use any stange kernel modules. [17:48] nastaros [17:48] ChogyDan: I already read the whole article, tried to get it to autodetect. Doesn't work. I just installed Ubuntu this morning.

[17:50] i thinks that if i use an old version it's faster or i make a mistake? [17:50] I've got this little bug here people, I've reported it I'm wondering if I'm the only one affected [17:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/503041 [17:51] anyone on the wifi thing? [17:51] Snowboarder, yes, but i did not have to configure anything in the skype options. Just the usual on alsamixer. [17:51] ChogyDan, Ok, did that and still no love. [17:51] monokrome: well, you can always make your own custom script, but if it isn't detecting, that is also a bug. [17:52] for Skype, I heard that Spokn is in market.. any news its on Ubuntu? [17:52] kriox125: I don't think that 7.04 is much faster... On the other hand. 7.04 is not supported anymore. I would install a new Xubuntu Karmic on that machine with ext4 Partitions. THa will speed up you computer... ;) [17:52] goose, if you are around... yes.. you can N boot on mac... I am triple booting currently [17:52] ChogyDan: And I know it's detectable, because I downloaded this boot_info_script044.sh that found Windows 7. [17:52] ChogyDan: The scripts are ugly as sin. [17:52] minimec: even xubuntu is pretty bloated [17:53] hi i don't usually use irc and need some help [17:53] Danzl3: libtorrent is in the repos, so you probably don't need to build it unless you really need the latest version; although if you want to build it, do a sudo apt-get build-dep libtorrent11; that should get you everything you need to build it [17:53] do i just ask for help in here? [17:53] blakkheim: Yeah but it will run faster than that old 7.04. [17:54] stevenvu, yes you are right [17:54] !ask | stevenvu [17:54] stevenvu: 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. :-) [17:54] i'm just use xfce on my debian lenny, i talking abaut a pentium 3 1000 and 256 mb of ram [17:54] im having a memory error in Wine and my coputer is new so i would like to belive ram is good. so i belive it is Wine im currently at wine 1.1.35, should i downgrade to a more stable version or and what version to i downgrade to? [17:55] danny_: /join #winehq [17:55] Kirovski: you can try crunchbag linux ubuntu ẉith openbox its only 400mb [17:55] ChogyDan, Ok, dunno if this matters, but...I'm running 9.04 x86, all my other sound works, though the voloume control has no effect on anything. Youtube-type sound is the only issue I am having. I ran the install you recommended, but no luck yet. ANy other ideas? [17:55] 8.04 is hardy? [17:55] danny_ how do you know your ram is oke ? did you test it with memtest ? [17:55] jellow: crunchbang is just as bloated as regular ubuntu [17:55] i need help, i just install ubuntu 9.10 in my notebook and i got the drivers used with windows xp, how do i get their equivalents for ubuntu. please help. [17:56] Guest80516: drivers for what [17:56] danny_: better not be sure the RAM is good, even if the computer is new. it is simple to get an iso image of memtest and boot the computer with it to test the ram. www.memtest86.org [17:56] wireless, audio, lan [17:56] OerHeks, yes i did [17:56] Guest, Any drivers sh9oujld have installed form the cd. [17:56] blakkheim: how you work that out my install is only 1g with everything i need [17:56] Guest80516: audio and lan will most likely work out of the box, what wireless card does it have? [17:56] hi, could some one point me tward and eq for ubuntu? [17:57] ChogyDan: I think I got it... Definitely a bug, though, [17:57] Guest80516: First... Find the device, that is not working properly. [17:57] I was using 9.10 and was accessing a ntfs partition. I was extracting an archive when the computer became unresponsive. couldn't alt ctrl backspace or get into another tty. I turned off the computer. Turns out i curropted the ntfs partition. windows won't boot, tried chkdsk with /r and /f, which came back with the mft could not be recovered. I then tried testdisk on ubuntu which crashed with a mftsegmentation fault. [17:57] danny_ what program gives errors under wine ? [17:57] i dont know i just have the driver for windows [17:57] Alan502, i see...what type of computer are you using? [17:57] Alan502, a custom built? [17:58] notebook compaq [17:58] Guest80516: Do you see a device on that system, that doesn't work properly? === tarik_ is now known as crowd [17:58] stevenvu: ouch [17:58] jellow: my installation was less than half of that [17:58] somebody uses Sony Ericsson W980 with 9.10 ? does it work? [17:58] jellow: (not of crunchbang, obviously) [17:58] nahs: i know, turns out ntfs3g aint that robust === b_ is now known as Guest37939 [17:59] nahs: is there anything else i can try [17:59] hello, what does "fix released" in launchpad bugs mean? How can I see which version of the software it actually appeared in? [17:59] hi. I have plugged ps2 keyboard with usb converter in NTB and it seems not working, where can be the problem ? [17:59] Snowboarder, yes, with an intel motherboard [17:59] I have a ntfs partition for Media/Data and an ext3 partition for the operating system itself so I don't have to bother with backing up stuff when I'm doing a new-release clean install [18:00] I'd threaten ubuntu if my partition was corrupted lol [18:00] Snowboarder, it seems that pidgin has a plugin that will let you use it with skype [18:00] nahs: i'm actually a little peeved. Apparently a currupt mft should only be caused by a physical defect [18:01] Hey how do I scroll up using my keyboard in ubuntu [18:01] I am using 8.04 and I have problems installing Adobe Flash to work in Firefox. With all the help I have received on this channel so far flash still doesn't work. Can anyone help me? [18:01] Arrow keys? [18:01] stevenvu: getting proper help here is almost impossible, good luck getting your stuff back :/ [18:01] mnass: How do you want to use that phone in combination with your computer? [18:01] nahs: I plugged the hdd into another computer running windows and getdataback shows all the files so i should just be able to rebuld the mft but i havn't found a way how to [18:02] stevenvu: I accidentally found like 8 bugs today in 9.10, 5 un-reported [18:02] I think Ubuntu should be more of bug-squashing than feature adding. [18:02] hey how can I connect a ubuntu machine with a windows machine using ethernet cable or a router? [18:02] the wireless driver is intel ProSet [18:02] nahs: did you report them? [18:02] nahs: they really shouldn't include ntfs3g if it isn't ready to be used everyday [18:03] guntbert: yep, just reported a new one a second ago [18:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/503041 [18:03] rick: i unplugged the drive and plugged it into another computer using a sata cable [18:03] i tried to do a dd of the partition onto a nas but nas was too slow going at 15mb.s [18:03] stevenvu: Same goes out for ext4, it still needs a lot of work [18:04] rick_2047, Samba is your freind. Just mount the dir in samba and make it viewable. Then make sure your windows firewall allow the connection. [18:04] mnass: MassStorage device should work... [GW]ammu database: Casic Phonebook functions http://wammu.eu/phones/sony-ericsson/2405/ [18:04] blakkheim: there is a lite version that is only 400 mb install , but to be honest it depends how much time you are willing to spend setting up your system. [18:04] stevenvu: I give ubuntu 3 more years and it's going to be a less-buggy fully functional usable operating system [18:04] Elyria_DeHoffran: for samba do i connect both computers just with a ethernet cable? [18:05] stevenvu: Are you using 9.10? Can you check if the bug I reported affects you as well? [18:05] elyria, the partiitoon wasn't mountable so i actually mounted the nas using smbfs and tried to dd the partition directly to the nas [18:05] rick_2047, Are you using a router or a direct connection? [18:05] Can someon help me with installing flash? [18:05] jellow: i don't use preconfigured things, i like to set it all up myself, how i want it [18:05] Elyria_DeHoffran: whichever will work I have a ut-300ru router [18:05] aMSN doesn't work at all in 9.10 too, emesene is buggy as hell. [18:05] nahs: what bug is that [18:05] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/503041 [18:05] stevenvu I cant help you. I dont know enough about that.

[18:07] it's nothing raelly but it pisses me off [18:07] rick_2047, I use a router, and, once I mount the drive as a samba share and make it viewable, my windows box has no trouble accessing it. [18:07] Elyria_DeHoffran: no other configuration has to be done? [18:07] rick_2047, To access the windows box, however, you need to make sure that any firewall is not blocking the connection. [18:07] nahs: thats the bug that i got, when extracting the arcive the computer locked up. After the partition was screwed i noticed the same problem when trying to copy it over to the nas, after copying 30gb the computer slowed down to a crawl [18:07] how to convert laptop to wifi router in 9.10?

[18:19] I am looking for some clues to why installing the Adobe flash plugin doesn't register in Firefox. [18:20] amitauti: I read in a subject what adhoc is about. thats how I can say that it is what you are looking for :) [18:20] what is the command to remove mysql [18:20] <_raven_> tarzeau, ok tnx [18:20] Halvor: its not installed in a location that firefox would expect it - my first guess... [18:20] Mikey001: why not use the pkg manager? [18:21] o lets try that [18:21] Mikey001: I think its "sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-client mycql-common" [18:21] does anyone know how to compile Delphi in Ubuntu? [18:21] Hello.

Also, it sounds like a strange issue as I should think that installing flash to work with Firefox is a fairly normal thing to do. [18:22] Halvor: How do you install the flash-plugin? 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer'? http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/flashplugin-installer [18:22] witam [18:22] That's wrong - should be 1024 length, not 1023 right? Should I simply remove that key, since it is somehow broken? [18:22] Halvor: I would agree - what version of firefox, flash & 32bit or 64bit system?

That would be starnge... You are on Ubuntu 9.10? [18:26] !noroot | blakkheim [18:26] blakkheim: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information.

[18:30] Halvor: my guess is - adobe drops the flash library in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so - firefox expects it in someplace like /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [18:30] Halvor: try opening a terminal and just typing: ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [18:30] sound problem alsa on 9.10 with skype and ekiga any ideas?

[18:36] domjohnson: unfortunately no, you've got to learn some QoS(quality of service) basics to do what you want [18:36] internalkernel: It used to be at ./lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [18:36] ok [18:36] Halvor: right, so let's make sure we know where it is - ls /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ and make sure you see the libflashplayer.so file [18:36] Halvor: so it's not there anymore?

[18:43] Halvor: this way you can have the same file in different locations without taking up extra disk space [18:43] anyone familiar with this.. does anyone know if a reg pci card would fit in it.. [18:44] internalkernel: OK, so now Firefox should find it in its location? [18:44] Any idea why vbox consumes 90%+ of my CPU power for no reason? When I save state and reload it, it consumes about 10% CPU, after several seconds of normal work in two MS Office 2007 windows in the guest Windows XP, it picks up to 90-100 % and stays there, even if I stop working.

[19:17] I am looking for the wireless driver package for the Realtek RTL8192e.... [19:17] nohup: i don't know for sure, it's just my guess. it could be a bug. you might want to find out for sure. [19:17] will do :) [19:17] nohup: Did you verify that the required libraries for mp3 encoding are present? [19:18] how can I connect JUST my bluetooth headset to ekiga or twinkle?

Sounds like you've got it covered. [19:19] ah, never mind [19:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/+bug/296922 [19:19] there's already a report there :) [19:19] Schwag, what about "which wine" ? [19:19] when i open wineconsole cmd it opens just fine, i just cant type any text into it [19:19] aykut: are you on gnome? if make sure you've got this packages installed gnome-bluetooth, Obexpushd, nautilus-sendto (installed by default) and osso-gwconnect [19:19] I've written a perl script that I want to run continuously as a daemon - similar to the Sun SVCS. What are my options for Ubuntu to keep a PID file and relaunch the script at boot and if it is ever killed or fails? [19:20] nohup, just curious which bug did you find? [19:20] why is mpd not listening to localhost on karmic [19:20] apt-get install apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-52 should fix it, it says ? [19:20] how can I connect just my bluetooth headset to ekiga or twinkle without setting the bluetooth headset as the default sound device?? [19:20] or actually it sais apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-51, which is 52 now :) [19:20] and its not my wine install i have cod4, gta vice city, diablo 2, and several other games running just fine in wine [19:20] is it maybe a license issue or something then ? [19:20] hello === genoobie is now known as Guest64564 [19:21] Is anyone using a XFI creative sound card on Ubuntu 9.10? [19:21] does anyone know if nvidia 8200M G is supported in linux?

[19:23] how do I add a self-rolled kernel to ubuntu 9? [19:24] What version of Gnome comes with Karmic? [19:24] anyone know where I cna get the latest linux drivers for the Realtek RTL8192e wireless? They were posted to Rapidshare by "Tigerbright", but I cannot seem to get access to it for a download....thanks! [19:24] yassine, i tried exactly the same [19:24] /boot/menu.lst isn't cutting it. [19:24] I don't see it in the socghop list, but I remember someone telling me that it did apply [19:24] initially [19:24] I'm having problems with an Xfi creative sound card. the driver is making a high buzzing sound during any audio playback. [19:24] kon_, same result ? [19:24] and it seems you are trying to do the same as i yassine. [19:24] here it is without the annoying pre-txt: How do I keep a script running and relaunched if it fails or dies in Ubuntu? do I have to write a cron job myself or is there any facility that does it? [19:24] blakkheim: you should check out that link (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg/+bug/296922) aswell, migh fix your shit too :) [19:24] What version of Gnome comes with Karmic? [19:24] yassine, yes it still starts here too [19:24] kon_, its weired [19:25] i installed sysv-rc-conf and removed gdm from the init.d system [19:25] hi! is there any ubuntu channel where i could ask about the versioning policy of ubuntu ? can anyone help me? im doing a research about ubuntu [19:25] but i don't where the graphical login screen comes from [19:25] know [19:25] kon_, and still gdm starts right?

No staff in #freenode...is that the only way? [19:26] Matson, you have to create a cron job, at the very least [19:26] hi _ganymede [19:26] _ganymede: I see many staffers there [19:26] matson: you don't need a cron job, what exactly are you trying to re-launch if it fails? [19:26] <_ganymede> :( [19:26] _ganymede: which account? [19:26] _ganymede: Just ask in #freenode and someone will reset the password. [19:26] matson: one thing you could do is put it in a loop and check the return status just with bash [19:26] yassine, yep it seems like [19:26] bowenl2: just a perl script [19:27] at least gnome simple greeter and that stuff [19:27] _ganymede: ignore grawity, I'm already trying to help you :) [19:27] grendal_prime: dist-upgrade is not upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 [19:27] hey guys, I compiled my own kernels, what's the ubuntu way of adding this? [19:27] While setting up Conky, I ran 'sudo aptitude install conky curl lm-sensors hddtemp' as instructed. Now I'm wanting to remove Conky. I removed the two main packages installed via Software Manager, how do I remove those I installed via terminal? [19:27] yassine, also X is started and some other gnome stuff [19:27] kloeri: :( [19:27] matson: you could have it return 0 when it succeeds (conventional) and then, if it returns non zero, launch it again [19:27] !upgrade | grendal_prime [19:27] grendal_prime: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [19:27] grawity: thanks for the help :) [19:27] but generally you'd want to modify the perl script so it wouldn't fail :-p [19:27] but from where i have no idea. i will keep investiating, let me know when you find something yassine. [19:28] matson: under what circumstances would it fail [19:28] bowenl2: I don't know - it uses a lot of libraries I didn't write. [19:28] bowenl2: Perl POE, for example [19:28] kon_, doing the same here ill share any success with you [19:28] bowenl2: which is stable/reliable, but I want it always running [19:28] yassine, you plan to ever use gdm? probably we should just remove it [19:29] looks like upstart will do what I want, but it seems like a lot to install [19:29] kon_, yes i do its for debugging puropose that i want to deactive it [19:29] however i've seen update-rc.d -f gdm remove as the solution to our question in many places. so it's weird [19:29] matson: have you had trouble with it failing in the past? i'm just confused because typically when you run something it won't just randomly exit in an exceptional case. a bash one-liner with an infinite loop would do in a pinch [19:29] I just do not understand this [19:30] I use the make install command [19:30] and it keeps giving me an error [19:30] anyone? how can I connect just my bluetooth headset to ekiga or twinkle without setting the bluetooth headset as the default sound device?? === mediaprodigy is now known as mp_away [19:30] bowenl2: no trouble, just that I'm going to depend on it running, and want to make sure if it ever fails, it is restarted [19:31] How do you compile install packages on Ubuntu? [19:31] Hey, what format should i use to install ubuntu? i tried with EXT3, but when i try to install Ubuntu it doesn't detect my HDD [19:31] bowenl2: looks like inittab has a respawn action http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/inittab.5.html [19:32] why is mpd not listening to localhost on karmic === cp is now known as Guest9658 [19:32] nastaros, you should use ext3 or even ext4 format to install ubuntu [19:32] nastaros, thats not related to the filesystem (the format) that you choose [19:32] matson: that's some crazy stuff! kewl [19:32] why the installer can`t see my HDD then? [19:32] pratik_narain, how do you know it is not listening [19:33] hey; anyone here know how that new init system in 9.10 works? I'm thinking I found a bug. /etc/init/rsyslog.conf should stop in runlevel 1, which is singleuser. [19:33] hey guys, something weird happened just now, I hitted a bug where ubuntu started eating all my freespace out of nowhere, I restarted the system and now my current settings are apparently lost, but when I log out I can see my old wallpaper and panel for a split second , anyone knows what happened? [19:33] yassine, i traced it back and found the solution [19:33] echo false > /etc/X11/default-display-manager [19:33] glitcher: how much free space do you ahve [19:33] nastaros, I dont know that [19:34] Hi guys, I have a question about my the fan in my laptop. Its a Toshiba L505-S5971. I have have installed lm-sensors, and the only module that will work with my hardware is coretemp. The critical temp of my cpu its telling me is 85C, the fan turns on at 70C, and I've been told this is too hot running inside a laptop. I found on some forums to put acpi_osi="Linux" in the grub configuration, and I've done this but the fan stil does not turn on untiil the [19:34] cpu temp reaches 70C. Also, after the fan turns on, it will not slow down or shutoff untill the laptop is rebooted. Has anyone seen this issue before or have any idea on how to lower the fan trip temp? [19:34] Why does it open a blank file when I use sudo gedit etc/fstab from term? [19:34] before the reboot O bytes, now I have 6.8 gb again [19:34] elyria, [19:34] it should be gedit /etc/fstab [19:34] * Elyria_DeHoffran grins. [19:34] I am trying to get the facebook IM to work with empathy and it isn't working, and someone said to try to get an update of the plugin in, so I went to the site, and tried to download the .deb but i ran into this error when trying to download: "/tmp/pidgin-facebookchat-1.64-1.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." [19:34] elyria: the "/" makes the directory absolute [19:34] kon_, did it work? [19:34] bowenl2, Thanks. The joys of being a newb. =) [19:34] yassine, it seems now i need to ifup eth0 after booting, i don't know why yet though [19:34] Elyria_DeHoffran: it should be /etc/fstab and gksudo instead of sudo [19:34] yassine, yes [19:34] mkanyicy: i just installed mpd from the repos and gave command sudo mpd to start it. I get error message "listen: Failed to listen on localhost (line 69): Address already in use [19:34] Aborted" [19:35] yassine, otherwise i wouldn't have said so :) [19:35] Isn't this the HELP for Ubuntu? [19:35] pratik_narain, then something is using the same port as you are using, change the mpd.conf file [19:35] kon_, thanks for sharing!! but i still find it weired that update rc does not take care of the service properly [19:35] IceMan, whats the difference between sudo gedit and gksudo? [19:35] mkanyicy: btw, i'm experimenting with mpd and ncmpcpp [19:35] kevin__: It is. [19:35] someone with a solution? i want my settings back :D [19:35] elyria: gksudo gives you a nice interface :-p [19:35] sudo does just fine [19:36] iceroot, , whats the difference between sudo gedit and gksudo? [19:36] Grawity well I need help with installing better Xfi drivers [19:36] yassine, yeah it is weird, especially since it seemed to work at some point for other people (according to the ubuntu forums) [19:36] !gksudo | Elyria_DeHoffran [19:36] Elyria_DeHoffran: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:36] Elyria_DeHoffran, gksudo is for graphical apps [19:36] the ones that are native don't work correctly [19:36] I just need to make a simple text edit. Trying to add a new drive. [19:36] guntbert: I try unmounting it using the Palimpsest Disk Utility [19:37] kon_, rebooting :) [19:37] !gksudo > bowenl2 [19:37] bowenl2, please see my private message [19:37] Victory444: are you on Karmic? [19:37] so, how I get back my old settings? apparently im stuck with the failsafe ones, or something like that [19:37] epinky, yes [19:37] Elyria_DeHoffran: you should be using sudo emacs rather than gksudo gedit [19:37] specifically sudo emacs -nw /etc/fstab [19:37] Victory444: is it a fresh install? [19:37] mkanyicy: giving port 6600, still same error message. also ncmpcpp is not showing my music collection although i've linked it to /var/lib/mpd/music [19:38] mead: I'd prefer to try with CLI - so please !pastebin the output of mount [19:38] I'm having internet connection issues, i've allready done "dig google.com" and the command timed out, saying no servers could be reached. [19:38] bowenl2 Ok, what does that do? [19:38] epinky, about two weeks old. I have installed some software, but nothing to do with the kernel or advanced configuration [19:39] hello i think i've made a huge mistake i enabled a random proxy found on the internetz in firefox when i had Hotmail and Last.fm websites opened in my tabs. I did not log in while i activated the proxy, i was logged in before doing such thing. Now should i be changin my passwords to prevent a russian guy reading my emails or they have no way to see my passwords? [19:39] bowenl2; Actually, I get emacs: command not found. [19:39] Sabre-night: Can you ping IP addresses on the Internet? [19:39] pratik_narain, I think you have to run "sudo mpd --create-db" first before the music collection is recognised, i am not sure about the port issue [19:39] Elyria_DeHoffran: Just use gedit. === tyranos_ is now known as tyranos [19:40] mkanyicy: okkay, thnx nyway. I'm searching the forums now [19:40] Victory444: I've heard 10.04 solves some fan problems, maybe you can try Lucid Alpha1 in the meantime [19:40] rob_p, i don't know [19:40] grawity, I am. =) [19:40] pratik_narain, no prob [19:40] is there an ipod jailbreak from ubuntu? g1 touch 2.2.1 [19:40] I just used a paper clip to force the drive open :P got the disc out the old fasion way of doing what I want without the OS's permision [19:40] Sabre-night: Try, "ping 209.85.225.99" [19:40] please help me [19:40] Sabre-night: That's a google.com IP address...

[19:41] ok i got my sound to work , but i still have some questions , the first under choosea device for sound output i have two options internal audio stereo and hda ati hdmi digital stereo whats the differance [19:41] here goes again [19:41] Sabre-night: You should get something along the lines of, "64 bytes from 209.85.225.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=15.4 ms" [19:41] hey guys, something weird happened just now, I hitted a bug where ubuntu started eating all my freespace out of nowhere, I restarted the system and now my current settings are apparently lost, but when I log out I can see my old wallpaper and panel for a split second , anyone knows what happened? [19:42] I am starting to get really pissed off [19:42] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Well probably good precaution , as what evere went though the proxy he would have been able to sniff [19:42] whoever wrote the driver for the xfi sound card is an idiot [19:42] freespace isnt running out again, but I want my settings back, they are somewhere, but I dont know where :P [19:42] IT DOESN'T WORK! [19:42] kevin__, careful what you say [19:43] kevin__, you seem frustrated, maybe you should go outside a little [19:43] it's all choppy and static [19:43] rob_p, i actually typed "ping google.com" and im getting lines like this; 64 bytes from gx-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.65.99): icmp_seq=132 ttl=49 time=41.4 ms [19:43] gl1tch3r, are you the only user of this system? [19:43] kevin__: Calm down. If you don't get an answer, sit tight and ask again in a few minutes. Perhaps someone who knows will be able to help. At the moment, nobody is able or willing... [19:43] Elyria_DeHoffran, thats what i was finding .. hoping somebody knew something else .. thx [19:43] kevin__, what happened to ur system [19:43] mkanyicy, yes i am [19:43] does anyone here know what to do when your GPG key expires? should i create an entirely new GPG keypair or amend my current key? [19:43] Sabre-night: Then networking seems to be working! :-) [19:43] kevin__: I agreed with you. Why don't you write a better one? Oh wait, you don't know how. :P [19:44] glitch I can't get the drivers to compile because Ubuntu won't allow you to make installs [19:44] you run make and it gives you an error [19:44] jordanl: I think it's possible to change the expiration date - but only before it expires. [19:44] kevin__: And what does that error say? [19:44] rob_p, it comes up for a while but goes down hard, its very sluggish and its allways a gamble if it loads a page or not. [19:44] anybody? how can I connect just my bluetooth headset to ekiga or twinkle without setting the bluetooth headset as the default sound device??

[19:48] gl1tch3r: old settings for what? [19:48] my bluetooth dongle isnt working [19:48] Would somebody help me with a question about killing both parent and child processes please.

It must be silent (no noise from fan), I am only going to use it for programming and occasionally watch a movie [19:48] Sabre-night: Your IP is fine... probably assigned dynamically unless you specifically configured it. [19:48] after the reboot, old my configs are lost, like wallpaper, compiz settings, docky setting, wireless wep keys etc [19:48] Broadcom Corp. BCM2035 Bluetooth [19:49] rob_p, nope [19:49] can andbody help me [19:49] gl1tch3r: Sounds like something is happening to your home directory [19:49] Sabre-night: Ok. Your router dynamically assigned one for you then. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to ping google.com. [19:49] Hi there! I have the stranges problem with my wireless and I don't know if this has to be with the lates update [19:49] timlee: try killing the child process first, then kill its parent process... [19:49] how do i add an admin user to dokuwiki after installing it from the repo? the official way from dokuwiki is to use install.php but the package version seems to say you don't need that ifg installed from a repo [19:50] where can you find a pre-built driver package? [19:50] mmhh, and how can I fix this [19:50] Sabre-night: How long is the cable run? [19:50] oK, that failed miserably.. [19:50] after I log out or reboot, I can see my old settings on screen for a split second [19:50] rob_p, from where to where? [19:51] this is annoying [19:51] does anyone know if the lates kernel in ubuntu karmic for 64 bit has some problems with the wireless [19:51] ? [19:51] im using 2.16 karinne , and im ok with wifi [19:51] Sabre-night: From your PC to the router (or switch, other active device, etc.)... [19:51] I have a Precision 6400 [19:51] karinne: that's going to highly depend on your wireless card... [19:51] laptop [19:51] I have a question [19:51] is this the place to ask question of killing process? My question is posted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1372445 [19:51] rob_p 2-3 feet, i fthat. [19:52] karinne I have no issues with 9.10 x64 wireless [19:52] gl1tch3r: that 'flash' of the old settings just means there's a screenful of data stored in your graphics card. It doesn't mean your actual settings are still there... [19:52] Sabre-night: What I'm getting at is, you're not going through 600 feet of cable are you? [19:52] Sabre-night: Ok. [19:52] rob_p, no [19:52] Sabre-night: Have you tried another network cable? Perhaps you have an intermittant connection. [19:53] oohh, I see, so, im being fooled, so, I have to re-configure everything again? [19:53] rob_p i was about to say the cable i use to connect to my router could be questionable... i mean it works, but yeah that may be the problem. [19:53] Sabre-night: I've seen elusive problems disappear with a simple cable swap-out. [19:53] losha, I have to reconfig everything again then? [19:53] whenever I run sudo escputil -i -r /dev/usb/lp0, I get a "segmentation fault" error [19:53] any reason for this? [19:54] so, my wifi wep keys are lost for good? [19:54] Sabre-night: I'd give that a shot and do some testing to see if the problem returns. [19:54] karinne: just because Elyria_DeHoffran'a hardware works fine doesn't guarantee yours will (unless she has the exact same hardware). Try googling your model number and os version and see if it's s known problem. You may need to google the actual wifi chip number itself... [19:54] rob_p, but the issue with swapping out this 'questionable cable' is that i'd have to use one of my 25' ones [19:54] Sabre-night: That's fine. [19:55] rob_p, allright [19:55] Sabre-night: You're usually good to several hundred feet if the cable is good quality and the connectors are in good shape. [19:55] losha: What commands do you use to "try killing the child process first, then kill its parent process"? Thanks! [19:55] rob_p, ok [19:55] someone just answer me yes or no :P [19:55] help me turn of the bongo drums! [19:55] rob_p, thanks, i'll give it a try. [19:55] Sabre-night: But even a short 1 foot cable with, "iffy" connections can cause no end of trouble. [19:56] any suggestions on my problem? [19:56] wep keys then lost and I have to reconfig again? [19:56] gl1tch3r: msybe. I'm no expert on the fancy gui stuff.

What kind of disk is it? [20:03] someone on here told me that program is very buggy so that person recommended K3B [20:03] Seagate barracuda [20:03] lwieise87: brasero is notorious for being full of bugs.

I find brasero users are rarely interested in burning from the command line. Feel free to offer an alternative... [20:06] but the windows be able to go between them [20:07] Its the most annoying thing about gnome, imo. [20:07] losha will burning from the command line help me?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:08] danopia__: Yeah, both XFCE and KDE 4x does it.

I need to press the FN+foo before ubuntu boots, or else it doesn't work [20:20] lwieise87: you need something like: sudo cdrdao write -n --driver generic-mmc-raw --device /dev/cdrom --speed 20 --eject -v 5 cd1.cue You'll need to adjust various parameters to suit your local setup [20:20] I need to talk to a developer since on pulseaudio and jackd there are tons of thread written but no one really helped...

[20:22] when using ndiswrapper for wifi drivers, should the kernel mod and driver match? lspci reveals that the driver is ndiswrapper but the kernel mod is rt2500pci [20:22] I followed this guide: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Multimedia/Audio/Jack [20:23] iceroot: that didnt do anything! This all started when i logged out once and played around with things, i think you can turn off x there somewhere or something like that, im a noob so i dont know. [20:23] The author didn't mention that a real time kernel was needed, but reading old threads in the English forums I learnt that a rt kernel is needed. Hence I have installed the .9-rt kernel [20:23] ok, so i have the Acer Aspire 5532 (laptop) and it has the ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics. The hardware Driver application finds the driver but... when i install it it gives me an error [20:23] Guest13787: what is "i played around with things" [20:23] nastaros, when did you create that ext3 partition? [20:24] few minutes ago [20:24] deviad: gotta love those authors and their 'minor' missing details.... [20:24] Installing a rt kernel solved also an issue I was having in recordmydesktop prompting: Broken pipe [20:24] iceroot: hehe. In like the bottom right cornet, there are some options, dont remember really. I used a tv as screen, and didnt see exactly what i was doing. [20:24] nastaros, ok, restart the computer and try again [20:24] i did try [20:25] Hello, is there a sub channel of ubuntu which deals with hardware?

[20:25] Anyhow, I also read a full thread with people getting mad at Ubuntu developers for their handling of realtime package back into 2008 [20:25] deviad: noone will read your story about many lines. because of that i said "use a detailed question in one line" [20:25] yes [20:25] Masterztuky: no, but there *is* a #hardware channel I believe [20:25] having trouble getting the user attribute copied when copying from a NFS mounted drive to a local one [20:25] Ohh I tried there...and people seem to act very smart with me :) [20:25] I have 2 problems: 1) when I run pulseaudio by the shell I have: E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

[20:30] LuciusMare: Support for running applications under wine is best gotten in Wine's official channel: #winehw [20:30] anyone? [20:30] LuciusMare: sorry, #winehq [20:30] Guest13787: typed that correctly? [20:30] Hi can anyone help me, something keeps gong wrong with my php or something on my web server, all my logins on things like torrent flux, phpmyadmin and my phpBB Forum fail silently, no errors or any indication of an error just not logging in, [20:31] mkanyicy, ok i did it.. and nowÉ === bruno is now known as Guest50247 [20:31] nastaros, what was printed on the screen? [20:31] ron__: check your keyboard-layout [20:31] want me to paste it on pastbin.com? [20:31] Keyboard layout? [20:31] nastaros, of course! [20:32] can i subscribe my little sansa to podcasts??? [20:32] how can i simplfy the backup of the documents in ubuntu one???? [20:32] tapio: The problem is that in order to have wireless I need to manually poweroff it (Fn+wifi), If I leave the wireless on when I start ubuntu the wireless doesn't work [20:32] ron__: Nothing in your logs? You can also enable debug options in your php configuration which will give you verbose feedback during script execution, etc. [20:32] iceroot: hehe, now it worked. It says that i should use another command, like "start gdm" or something. Played around with that but it didnt happen anything.. [20:33] mkanyicy, ubuntu.pastebin.com/d543b9062 [20:33] its not telling me the passowrds are wrong, and it was working erlier today now its just failing, to login completely [20:33] ron__, tried #mysql ##php and #phpbb ?? [20:33] and this problem is new, since yesterday [20:33] before yesterday my wifi worked just fine! === janedoe is now known as sigger [20:33] I'm installing Ubuntu on my sisters laptop but wireless isn't working. I tried iwlist wlan0 scan but it says Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down [20:33] and I have karmic since it was released! [20:34] Any ideas what I'm missing? [20:34] mkanyicy how do you mean? [20:34] Guest13787: since karmic you should use "sudo service gdm start/stop/restart" I think [20:34] VCoolio: correct. [20:34] ron__, I mean php and mysql are not ubuntu [20:34] vcoolio: okey, ill try [20:35] mkanyicy its on my ubuntu server [20:35] ron__: He means irc channels. [20:35] Guest13787: because karmic uses upstart instead of sysv [20:35] Hello, i need help building a customized ubuntu install CD [20:35] vcoolio: it said job already running [20:35] MTecknology: Supply us with more information first, for starters. What wireless chip are we talking? [20:35] mkanyicy.. sorry I missclosed IRC... did you get the pastebin link? [20:36] mkanyicy rob_p i dont fully know wh ats causing the problem yet. [20:36] Where can I find some impressive screensavers for Linux? (Do they work for all Linuxes or are there separate ones for ubuntu?) [20:36] Masterztuky: still here? [20:36] ron__, anyway it's fine, ignore me "cat mkanyicy > /dev/null" [20:36] cprxmm7: Yes sir :) [20:36] Masterztuky: i'm actually in a laptop dillemma myself, sorry i abandoned you [20:36] tweakt : There is a help article called Live Cd Customisation ant help.ubuntu.org [20:36] Halvor: You want to look for screensavers for "gnome-screensaver" or "xscreensaver" [20:36] is there a terminal command to list optical drives and their mount locations? [20:36] Masterztuky: what's on your mind? [20:36] cprxmm7: Np, thanks for your time. [20:36] Halvor: I believe there are some up on http://gnome-look.org. [20:36] ron__: As I said, you could probably find some clues in logs and/or by enableing verbose feedback for php script execution. [20:36] Guest13787: the other one you used already did the trick then; but your problem was solved right? [20:36] nastaros, yes I got it [20:36] cprxmm7: Can I pm you? [20:36] MenZa: OK! :-) [20:37] ok [20:37] sure [20:37] lwieise87: If they are mounted - 'cat /proc/mounts' [20:37] but if you ask here, you might get additional responses [20:37] vcoolio: nope, it wasnt. I still only have a terminal.. [20:37] cprxmm7: Thank you very much... [20:37] I asked [20:37] But no reply! :) [20:37] nastaros, shutdown and do a self-check on the CD for errors in that menu before you try for the second time [20:37] nastaros, it is probably your CD is bad [20:37] nastaros, your drive looks fine [20:38] Guest13787: ah; so: service gdm stop and then service gdm start ? [20:38] hm... [20:38] is there a way in Chatzilla to have it copy/paste a user's name into the text send line? [20:38] mkanyicy, ok i'll try that [20:38] vcoolio: i tried "sudo service gdm restart", and it went back to the same, but ill try that to [20:38] ron__: Look in your php configuration file(s) for debug options. (/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini) [20:38] nastaros, if errors are found then try to get a CD from a neighbor [20:39] Masterztuky did you try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ for info ? [20:39] Nope, thank you OerHeks! [20:39] MTecknology: What wireless card do you have? [20:39] MenZa: It has a Broadcom BCM4311 chip [20:39] Thank you so much! [20:39] uff, it's frustrating when you can't get some help to solve an issue like this. :\ === sacho__ is now known as Sacho [20:39] I will try #ubuntu-laptop see if I get some answer. Thank you! [20:39] MTecknology: Have you installed the restricted drivers? [20:39] uh-oh.. this makes me think ndiswrapper will need to be used :( [20:39] ron__: You can set them, restart apache2, reproduce the error, and view the output. After you fix it, simply change the php.ini config back to how it was and restart apache2. [20:39] Guest13787: don't know then; it's the usual way to start gdm; maybe "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" solves something [20:39] deviad, issues like what? [20:40] tapio: I tried but none were found [20:40] I need help with configuring jackd with paused [20:40] pulseaudio* [20:40] tapio: It does "Searching for available drivers" but nothing found. I don't need to be connected to the internet for that, do I? [20:40] MichealH: ok, I'm specifically trying to do some extra customization, like adding many additional packages and stripping out unwanted ones. Do you know of tools/scripts I should try to help with this process? [20:40] MTecknology: Yes [20:41] vcoolio: argh. Didnt work. But its so weird, its not a termnial lika server version. The terminal is a small white window in the upper left corner, and the rest is black. When i move my mouse there the pointer is "thinking". [20:41] tapio: hrm.. that poses a problem... [20:41] why does this give me 'permission denied': cd /var/log/apache2 ; gzip -c access.log > access.log.gz ? [20:41] bah, he left! [20:41] MTecknology: No cable? [20:41] Fog: well, usually only root has write access to /var/log -- so 'sudo -s' [20:41] tapio: nope; and no access to the modem if I did [20:42] Guest13787: doesn't sound right, but sorry, can't help; did you mess with video drivers lately? [20:42] MTecknology: Guess you could get the package somewhere else and put in on a usb disk. [20:42] grawity sorry i did do 'sudo' but not with -s [20:42] I would like to write a hard drive to 0's and I am running from live cd mode on a usb drive. I want to do this with terminal if I can. dose anyone know how to walk me through the steps? its a 100gig laptop drive in a hp laptop [20:42] vcoolio: nope, havent touch 'em. guess ill have to reinstall.. === zz_b0w is now known as kiwifunk [20:42] Fog: because the sudo command onl applise to the first part of the command. [20:43] ciao [20:43] bean sudo -s still gave me permission denied [20:43] the input redirection is run as your user [20:43] !list [20:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

I took a picture: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/2298/dsc00485z.jpg [20:44] nastaros: are you having issues with 9.10 telling you that you have a lot of bad sectors? [20:44] tapio: I'll try to find a way to get the internet via wired.. thanks [20:44] Is there a file manager in Ubuntu? [20:44] MenZa: ^ Thanks [20:44] Like Nautilus [20:44] My issue is that the installer can't see my HDD [20:44] bean: su -c gzip -c access.log > access.log.gz still gives me permission denied [20:44] Halvor: I like thunar but nautilus is pretty standard [20:44] nastaros, naah, that is normal [20:44] hm... ok [20:45] Fog: su -c [20:45] hello, I just installed ubuntu x64. how can I install flashplayer to play youtube videos?

[20:47] mkanyicy, Fog: nothing. [20:47] hajmola: starts up as a separate display? [20:47] MenZa: would finding the internet via wired and using the restricted driver manager do any of that for me? [20:47] hajmola: not 'clone' mode? [20:48] bean, Fog , was just wondering if you are not doing a simple thing the hard way [20:48] mkanyicy, i launched the install again and it still doesn't see my HDD [20:48] doneill, using the nvidia-settings i can get it to display, but in really low resolution modes [20:48] doneill, works in both clone and twinview [20:48] mkanyicy well at this point i just erally want to understand how to get the rediection way to work [20:48] hajmola: what does xrandr say about the display [20:48] nastaros, do you have another ubuntu HDD? [20:48] Fog: don't get su and sudo confused. They do similar things but use different passwords. I suggest you stick with sudo.... [20:48] nastaros, sorry another ubuntu CD [20:48] hajmola: clone will try to duplicate the main display resolution, so i'd prefer twin [20:48] mkanyicy, no [20:49] What process do Ubuntu devs use to produce the original CD images? There has to be scripts/tools that determine everything that needs to be on the CD, given a set of packagesm, right? I want to make a cd with just the essentials + custom selection of other packages.

[20:49] !custom [20:49] tweakt: yep, called jigdo [20:49] nastaros, not try this for the LAST time, reboot and then choose INSTALL which I believe is the second option from the menu [20:49] Hi! [20:49] doneill, when I type "xrandr" it only gives me info on my built in LCD [20:49] mkanyicy, that what i just triec [20:49] I seem to not have an .Xauthority file in my home directory, and I believe it's interfering with remote X (NXserver) connections. I should actually have one of these files generated automatically at each login, isn't that correct? [20:49] In a terminal when I change to another user with 'su otherusername' and try to start a program (grafically ) then I get No protocol specified, Error: cannot open display: :0.0 any ideas? [20:49] losha well i dont remember setting a password for su does that mean it doesnt have one? [20:50] hajmola: your external display doesn't show up at all? [20:50] I found Nautilus [20:50] doneill: I will take a look. my understanding of that tool was that it was just for updating one CD image to another, but I might've overlooked quite a bit. [20:50] nastaros, but I think I saw a gnome panel and a desktop with icons [20:50] Fog: that's exactly what it means.... [20:50] tweakt: i have no idea what it does, but in the end i have an .iso in my directory. something tells me it builds it.

There is only one scenario I know about where it isn't true, and that's when your disk fails to fsck properly during boot (which is thankfully rare) [20:58] Fog: sudo will not cross IO redirection operators, this will work though: gzip -c foo.gz | sudo tee bar.bz [20:58] how do i join the "classroom" channel?

[21:39] (Ubuntu, I assume?) [21:39] yessir [21:39] Try Filezilla. [21:39] scp isnt meant to be graphical. unless you mean sftp? [21:39] woot [21:39] this is driving me nuts! [21:39] Fog: I want some drag and drop action for easy mass-xfer [21:40] filezilla [21:40] Fog: why would sftp be graphical rather than scp ? [21:41] doesnt nautilus do sftp anyway ? [21:41] is there a way to remote log boot messages? [21:41] linxeh: because scp is just "secure copy" [21:41] is there an ubuntu app similar to twitteriffic? [21:42] guntbert: and sftp is just a secure file transfer. where is the gui in that? [21:42] yassine: netconsole ? [21:42] when big html loads everything bebome slow [21:43] i'm trying to get X working on old pc with matrox g200 video adapter. I installed ubuntu 9.10 CLI, then lxde. gdm jams so I dsabled it.

Should I try some other DE, or is there something I can do with lxde here ? [21:43] so I have this bootable dvd I am trying to burn. There are 3 cue files, 3 img files, some sub files, etc. I have no idea what proggy to use to convert to iso format [21:43] when i kill nm-applet, my wireless connection seems to disconnect...can i kill nm-applet while maintaining my wireless connection? [21:43] linxeh: ftp has m commands - that led to the development of more or less graphical clients [21:43] linxeh well sftp is meant to do directory listings and stuff that is suitable to a gui [21:44] even winscp doesn't use pure scp [21:44] gtk warning cannot open display : :0 [21:44] mylisto2: Brasero should handle img files fine.

[21:44] sftp does all the ftp commands, just over ssh [21:44] ganymede, i don't know about nm-applet, but i know wicd will let you kill wicd-client (the taskbar applet) and maintain the connection [21:44] floating1, did u installed the drivers for the vid card? try using the vesa driver first and see if it works [21:44] Fog: with a totally differnet protocol to ftp. it isnt tunneled ftp [21:45] bogdomania: I didn't do anything. I'm not familiar changing the drivers, but I guess I manage if I google [21:45] I still dont see what this has to do with guis. scp can do dozens of files at a time (or thousands, and recursively) too. [21:45] linxeh anyway you want sftp [21:45] audiohack: since there are like 2 or 3 img files, should I burn them each to a dvd? [21:45] /etc/x11/xorg.conf [21:45] I try [21:45] hi, what package provides man pages for glibc functions? [21:46] mylisto2: Yep. You can verify they are actually ISO's by type "file imagename.img" [21:46] what is the name/location of the gui file managment program for ubuntu? [21:46] It'll probably say it's an ISO. [21:46] audiohack: do I do that in terminal? [21:46] yep. [21:46] mead, nautilus? [21:46] "As the SCP protocol implements file transfers only, GUI SCP clients are rare, as implementing it requires additional functionality (directory listing at least). For example, WinSCP defaults to the SFTP protocol. Even when operating in SCP mode, clients like WinSCP are typically not pure SCP clients, as they must use other means to implement the additional functionality (like the ls command)." [21:46] "This in turn brings platform-dependency problems. Thus it may not be possible to work with a particular SCP server using a GUI SCP client, even if you are able to work with the same server using a traditional command line client." --wikipedia's scp page [21:46] linxeh: ok - I admit my arguments were weak :) [21:46] I mean, chances are high that it's going to just work fine :-) [21:47] bogdomania: there is no such file as /etc/X11/Xorg.conf tho [21:47] Anyone here managed to get elementry working? [21:47] I guess, I need to copy a file onto a usb disc that I just created, and I'll be damned if I am gonna spend the time to figure out how to find the file and copy it to another location in CLI [21:47] Hey, is there a fancy ubuntu way to set up Samba? [21:47] floating1, it has to be.. [21:47] Or should I just edit the samba file in vi? [21:48] brummbaer, thanks, i switched to wicd and my pings are ultra-low now (previously had an nm-applet issue). i'll figure out how to make it my primary connection manager later [21:48] e-head: that's how I do it. [21:48] audiohack: [21:48] e-head: isnt it setup default? [21:48] I think ubuntu don't use Xorg.conf nowadays ? I actually have edited that file earlier, but I remember smth like this [21:48] but I'll find a way [21:48] it does [21:48] !info swat | e-head [21:48] e-head: swat (source: samba): Samba Web Administration Tool.

[21:48] I have the files to burn on an ext harddrive...not sure how to access the files via terminal...er, not sure how to access the drive in terminal [21:48] ganymede, if you installed wicd, it automatically removed networkmanager :D [21:48] !info gadmin-samba > e-head [21:48] i love wicd. [21:48] brummbaer, oh, no wonder my nm-applet mysteriously got killed [21:49] thanks guntbert. And erUSUL. Multiple tools. ;) [21:49] mylisto2: Open up a terminal, type "file " (not quotes, note the space) and drag the file into the terminal window [21:49] And even vi! [21:49] ah === crowd is now known as crowd[JeRe] [21:50] Guys? -_- [21:50] audiohack: it only shows /media/My Book/temp torrent downloads/MCE2005OEM/disc1.img: data [21:50] anyone here use checkinstall? I'm wondering, for a package that requires something else, i just need to copy and paste the names of the packages it needs right? [21:51] i've got a package manager question- I did an apt-get install and it downloaded and ran a script to help me set it up. I accidentally hit escape and the installer script quit. I've tried apt-get remove and apt-get install again, but it doesn't seem to invoke that install script again. Anyone know a trick for getting that to run? [21:51] mylisto2: that's odd, but give it a burn with Brasero. you'll want to open it with the *.cue file. Each disc is a *.cue / *.img pair. [21:51] hmm...kinda of confused... [21:51] Open up Brasero and select burn image [21:52] so do I do image burn... [21:52] Yep. [21:52] ok now it only shows the .cue files...not the img files [21:53] Yep. [21:53] Select the first *.cue file. That'll burn it. === crowd[JeRe] is now known as crowd === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-gone [21:54] Simply put, the .cue file tells the program about what is in the img file. [21:54] * mead figured it out [21:55] i can't get nvidia-settings to run my external LCD any higher than 1360x768... even though the native res is 1920x1200 [21:56] audiohack: it won't let me burn them...the burn option is shaded [21:56] hajmola, check doc. for the specific video card that you own and see if it`s capable of such resolution first..

[22:00] malik_, well, maybe if you didn't use both at the same time... [22:00] malik_, But I doubt such a cable exists [22:00] malik_, If you had a file server you could connect the external HDD to that and then connect the client machines to the file server. [22:01] Darkedge, http://www.quickpwn.com/2009/06/how-to-jailbreak-with-redsn0w.html/comment-page-2 [22:01] malik_, Even if you only had 1 file server and 1 client ;) [22:01] i can make one, my concern is that if i make such a cable and i mount the hdd on one pc , then what if the second device is also powered on, will it hurt the disk ? [22:01] anyone have any experience with external displays and nvidia-settings? [22:01] i considered that but then i need to have the server always powered on [22:02] malik_, yeah, you would [22:03] malik_, I have no idea. Having two OS's mounting 1 disk would probably not be good though. [22:03] and in this case the switching comes in :) that i wanted to avoid. [22:03] well if they dont try to mount it but one have mounted and the other pc is just powered on, Is there a danger in that case? [22:03] malik_, idk :( [22:04] hello [22:04] :) ok, thanks anyways.. [22:04] malik_, Good luck!! [22:04] thanks [22:04] can someone tell me how a hdd "DATA" with fs=NTFS can be automounted at logon? [22:05] alphafox, I can [22:05] alphafox, you need to edit /etc/fstab [22:06] erUSUL: thanks for the tip. I actually just did apt-get purge which appears to have done what I wanted. Thanks! [22:06] okay cool [22:06] Hello. I cannot move the cursor into my session but I can into the logging prompt. [22:06] Help, please. [22:06] alphafox, Really helpful guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [22:06] is there an ubuntu app similar to twitterrific? [22:07] alphafox, Come up with the line you think you need to add to the file and show me it. I'll make corrections [22:07] melter, gwibber is great for social networks. [22:08] Hello. I cannot move the cursor into my session but I can into the logging prompt. [22:08] /dev/mapper/nvidia_ccafaefd1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [22:08] this is my original home driv [22:08] It happens when I make a configuration change in nvidia-settings. [22:08] i think it needs to be: /dev/mapper/nvidia_ccafaefd4 [22:09] alphafox, Are you using ubuntu? [22:09] yeah [22:09] How do you install a .sh [22:10] Tiders, be more specific [22:10] alphafox, I've never seen a hard drive with a device name like that. Can you find your home partition in the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?? [22:10] it's because i have a raid configuration [22:10] Tiders, sudo apt-get install [22:10] bogdomania, Install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.sh [22:10] alphafox, I've never done his with a raid config but we'll try it anyway. I have no idea if /dev/mapper/... is right though. [22:11] you want to run that script [22:11] i think it needs to be something like /dev/mapper/ccafeafd4 Data ntfs [22:11] but i dont know what options to give it [22:11] alphafox, what is "Data" the mount point? [22:11] bogdomania, That installs it? [22:11] yeah [22:11] the name of the harddrive [22:11] Hello. I cannot move the cursor into my session but I can into the logging prompt. [22:11] partition actually [22:11] It happens when I make a configuration change in nvidia-settings. [22:12] How do I add a key? Having big probs here -_- [22:12] alphafox, the volume name doesn't matter. The mount point should be /home/ unless it is the entire home in which case the mount point should be "/home" understand? [22:12] edbian i got it from sudo blkid [22:13] the ccafaefd4 [22:13] alphafox, what does "sudo fdisk -l" call it? Can you find it in "sudo fdisk -l" [22:14] no cant find it there [22:14] alphafox, ok, then use what you have I guess (I don't have high expectations for this working btw). [22:14] alphafox, Show me the line you have worked so far [22:14] i can also use /dev/sdc4 [22:14] that's the same [22:14] alphafox, That is what we want here. /dev/sdc4 [22:15] okay cool [22:15] alphafox, Show me the line you have worked out using /dev/sdc4 [22:15] i dont have a line like that in the fstad [22:15] fstab* === danopia__ is now known as danopia [22:16] alphafox, yeah, we need to add one. It's going to start with "/dev/sdc4..." do you know what else goes into it? === LJR_ is now known as LJR [22:16] mount point? like Data [22:16] then type, like ntfs === nero_ is now known as ubuntu [22:17] edbian, what if alphafox's fstab uses UUID's? [22:17] alphafox, mount point is "the place in the filesystem that this drive will show up" You can put it anywhere. /media/disk1 or /home/you/myHDD or (in our case) /home to replace the home folder. [22:17] hi [22:17] mkanyicy, It is not necessary in this case [22:17] alphafox, do you want to use UUIDs ? === ubuntu is now known as unbuntuRookie [22:17] edbian, was nursing fears over mounting same partition twice [22:17] i dont know what a UUID is... [22:18] sorry im a bit of a noob in linux [22:18] alphafox, a UUID uniquely identifies a partition. the idea being that you can swap out the hard drive without confusing ubuntu [22:18] alphafox, no worries! [22:18] alphafox, it's something like a serial number of the partition but not exactly that [22:18] oh, i dont want to use that [22:18] join #ubuntu-ru [22:18] alphafox, ok [22:18] i dont need to swap drives [22:19] alphafox, so the line so far "/dev/sdc4 /home ntfs-3g ..." [22:19] alphafox, right? [22:19] no the line is like this [22:19] /dev/sdc4 Data ntfs [22:20] needs to be /dev/sdc4 /media/Data ntfs i suppose [22:20] alphafox, Data is incorrect. The mount point is "where in the file system should this partition be placed" get it? [22:20] alphafox, It's a path name like /media/disk1 or /home/you/myPartition understand? [22:20] yeah [22:21] alphafox, so for you it should be /home right? [22:21] when i access the drive it appears in the directory /media [22:21] can i keep it there? [22:21] alphafox, yeah if you want. Ubuntu put it there automatically [22:21] alphafox, edbian but I don't recommend making a persistent hard disk mount point under /media directory, rather go for the /mnt directory [22:22] why is that mkanyicy? [22:22] mkanyicy, alphafox I was about to say. /media is usually for temp mount points. For more common ones you should use /mnt. Really though it's personal preference [22:22] oh okay [22:22] the mnt is better [22:22] alphafox, It's mostly about doing things the "correct" way. [22:22] alphafox, because ubuntu puts auto-creates mount points under /media based on the label of the removeable drive [22:22] okay cool [22:23] so that's only for usb drives and cd's [22:23] edbian, exactly, you are right [22:23] alphafox, you should make a folder in /mnt so you can use it for more than one drive. So you'll mount this partition into "/mnt/" [22:23] Is it possible to run 32bit Windows with Wine under Ubuntu 64bit? [22:23] does ubuntu one work with 9.10? [22:23] alright so the line should be something like /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs [22:23] windows apps [22:23] alphafox, Is there a /mnt/Data folder? [22:24] no i will create one [22:24] alphafox, k [22:24] what the command to add cd as repositories? [22:24] i should give my user the rights to the folder right?!? [22:24] alphafox, Careful, the permissions on this folder dictate the permissions of the entire partition. [22:24] alright, could you help me with that? [22:24] alphafox, no problem [22:25] the directory is made [22:25] alphafox, using a terminal go to /mnt and type ls [22:25] alphafox, Do you know how to do that?? [22:25] I need to install java on my ubuntu server, and I wanna do it with apt-get....How do I find out what to install (package-name) ? [22:25] I need to serve up two domains on my machine. I'm using NGINX. I want to be able to go to one.local and two.local on my network. How do I proceed? 'hostname two' ? [22:25] yeah i know [22:25] i made the direcotry Data [22:25] Danskmand, You can use "sudo aptitude search " [22:25] alphafox, ls -l will show you the permissions on the file.

If there is a r that person can read, if there is a w they can write if an x they can execute [22:26] hello folks, how would one go about updating to this package(if it is a package) "devicekit-disks - 009-1ubuntu3".I have a mybook you see, and smartware(backup software pops up as a virtual cd.Im on karmic koala, latest [22:26] Danskmand, apt-cache search java|grep sun [22:26] alphafox, root is the owner and root is the group in this case [22:26] alphafox, edbian I don't think you can set permissions to the NTFS filesystem using chmod, chown or chattr [22:27] mkanyicy, I'm pretty sure it follows the folder it's in [22:27] alphafox, edbian same goes for FAT32 [22:27] edbian, nope [22:27] Ciao a tutti :) [22:27] mkanyicy, creating new files I'm pretty sure about [22:27] edbian, you have to specify umask in fstab [22:27] mkanyicy, well then we'll do that [22:27] edbian, i am 100% sure about this [22:27] I need to serve up two domains on my machine. I'm using NGINX. I want to be able to go to one.local member:and two.local on my network. How do I proceed? 'hostname two' ? [22:28] why does apt-get upgrade skip some updates that update-manager doesn't? [22:28] mkanyicy, What happens if you don't specify umask? [22:28] that sort of worries me about using ubuntu as a server, as I don't use a GUI on servers [22:28] alphafox, Are you following this? ha ha [22:28] edbian, then there will be default permissions i think it is 777 for ntfs [22:28] xdccq get WaReZ|CulT|01 #13 [22:28] hahaha im wondering why you must use a umask [22:28] and what a umask is [22:28] did any of you guys use/used etqw? and had segfault problems with it? [22:28] alphafox, umask stands for user mask. [22:29] oh aoky [22:29] okay* [22:29] alphafox, Lets worry about mounting the partition and then worry about permissions. Sound good? [22:29] yeah okay [22:29] alphafox, I'm curious about what mkanyicy said [22:29] edbian, ok [22:29] alphafox, What is the line so far then? [22:30] alphafox, "/dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs-3g ..." [22:30] /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs [22:30] /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs-3g [22:30] asdasd [22:30] alphafox, Here come the options! you can look up some of them on the website I gave you. The rest can be found in the man page for "mount" do you know how to read man pages? [22:30] yeah [22:30] I need to serve up two domains on my machine. I'm using NGINX. I want to be able to go to one.local member:member:and two.local on my network. How do I proceed? 'hostname two' ? [22:30] man mount [22:31] alphafox, cool. I suggest you use "defaults,relatime" [22:31] edbian, I thought "defaults 0 0" should be fine ? [22:31] alphafox, In fact in that guide I showed you there is an example of an NTFS partition. They have a lot more options most of them regarding permissions so I left them out. [22:32] what the command to add cd as repositories? [22:32] mkanyicy, what does defaults do about relatime? === ptr is now known as pipegeek [22:32] edbian, I dont know about relatime [22:32] edbian, what is relatime? [22:32] mkanyicy: ext3 option [22:33] iceroot, is relatime applicable to ntfs? [22:33] When hooked into a KVM my monitor is set to "Generic" and can only be in 800x600. ANy way to force it to stay in 1280? Im using restricted driver [22:33] mkanyicy, has to do with the stupid unix philosophy of writing to a file the modified date everytime a file is read. google it [22:33] mkanyicy, I think it is applicable to any FS when mounted under unix [22:33] i think a rw option is handy ;-) [22:33] edbian, thanks for explaining, I think i get the picture [22:33] alphafox, rw falls under defaults [22:33] mkanyicy, yeah np [22:33] alright [22:34] ZAHER, what exactly do you want to achieve? [22:34] then default is okay [22:34] I'm suddenly not able to load the Flash plugin in Firefox, getting the following error: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied [22:34] this is what i got so far /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs-3g default [22:34] Any ideas? This is just since rebooting my machine. [22:34] alphafox, dump and pass have to do with the file system check that runs every once in a while. It is preferable to not check ntfs using ubuntu so put a 0 for both of them [22:34] mkanyicy: i dont know [22:34] alphafox, That is right so far [22:34] alphafox, defaults not default [22:35] alphafox, yes! almost missed that, there is an "s" [22:35] There is a fix for my smartware virtual cd poping up when I insert my disk in ubuntu, but it needs "devicekit-disks - 009-1ubuntu3".How would I aquire this in koala.Setting some sources to beta?devicedisk says fix realased.Or am I wrong?

[22:36] msg NickServ TilelesBruto gaelwe2002 [22:36] alphafox, It is regarding the file system check. You don't want ubuntu to check an ntfs partition. It's not very good at it, so you put 0 for dump and pass [22:36] alphafox, read about it on "man mount" [22:36] seg fualts in ubuntu 9.10 everywhere [22:36] alphafox, yes, it's all in man mount [22:36] tully, bad ram maybe?? [22:37] its a new pc [22:37] alphafox, The line I posted should be perfect. Did you put that in the file? [22:37] does that mean that the ram is stuffed [22:37] tully, more than 4GB on a 32bit system? [22:37] yeah did that [22:37] alphafox, roughly and vaguely the first 0 is forever zero nowadays and the second zero is for fsck priority, 0 means disabled, 1 first prio, 2 second prio [22:37] tully, It means some program is trying to write to the wrong location in ram [22:37] 2gb in a athlon 2 with ubuntu 32 bit [22:37] alphafox, You should be able to restart and the FS is mounted automatically [22:38] tully, I recommend a memtest [22:38] cool thnks a lot!

[23:22] louis check edit preferences and make sure the path is correxct to the location of your ffmpeg and ffplay [23:22] louis__, did you try using avidemux? [23:23] ljamisonii, yes [23:23] How do I change my nickname? [23:23] !anyone | ljamisonii [23:23] ljamisonii: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:24] mkanyicy: is that better? [23:24] LinuX2half: /nick new nickamne [23:24] what would putting this line in fsat do?(if generic values corrected) "UUID=your_smartware_partitions_uuid_here none hfs rw,noauto 0 0" [23:24] cause I have a drive wich pops up this useless windows app [23:24] ctmjr: I want to change my computer's user name but my IRC account [23:25] and its in the firmware [23:25] ctmjr:*not my [23:25] louis__, I dont know but I use it to transcode video files every now and then, its the only app i use for that purpose [23:25] :)) LinuX2half [23:25] mkanyicy: thanks ill check it out [23:25] I'm trying to convert .rpm to .deb using Alien...in terminal, I type "sudo alien " but it returns an error that says "error: incorrect format: unknown tag" [23:26] LinuX2half, you want to change your username in the computer? [23:26] How can it be that the white logo splash completely stops the boot process? If I edit the menuentry and remove "quiet splash" it boots perfectly fine every time. [23:26] mkanyicy: yes [23:26] UUID=your_smartware_partitions_uuid_here none ext3 rw,noauto 0 0 would this prevent a ext3 formatted linux live(and useless filesystem)to lad? [23:26] *load? [23:27] uuid i will fill out [23:27] mkanyicy: I don't know why but when I open my terminal there's two nicknames, one is the old one and the other is the current one I'm using. [23:27] hi === ubuntu is now known as zielak [23:27] dir [23:28] I have already deleted my old account with the wrong nickname [23:28] But it seemed that my computer still recognized the old one [23:29] ljamisonii, alien is an angelic demon unlike wine which is a demon outright, I dont think alien succeeds in debianizing an rpm all the time. you may check where you got that rpm whether you have to supply to allien additional helper flags as well [23:30] mkanyicy: ah, alright...would I just use something like the -d or -i tag? Because I've tried all applicable tags.. [23:30] how would one go about preventing /dev/sr1 from mounting? [23:31] this is a device [23:31] Hello. Is there a way that I can paste something that a copied some time ago and I changed my copied text a couple of times since? [23:31] LinuX2half: how did you delete the account? [23:31] just a simple entry in fstab maybee? [23:31] is there any way to encapsulate all my traffic thru ssh tunnel? [23:31] ctmjr: I went to user and groups [23:31] ljamisonii: trying to install some app? It might work better to get the source and compile it on ubuntu.... [23:32] ljamisonii, I really don't know I remember trying to debianize a LabVIEW package, alien failed at critical areas, my advice is that you rather get the source and compile it yourself [23:33] Cheguerz, that is a CD/DVD device [23:33] LinuX2half: use userdel try man userdel for options [23:33] yes, wich loads a life filesystem built in in my drives firmware made for windows [23:33] *live [23:34] my actual cd rom is a different device [23:34] Cheguerz, I dont get you in that part, how do you know all of this? [23:34] Cheguerz: what kind of machine is this? === noname is now known as Guest198 [23:35] the drive is a western mybook esential..my machine a dell hybrid [23:35] losha: Yes, I need to install an older version of Wine to run a certain program properly. I have the source code for it, but when I go through all the steps of compiling, making, etc. it gives 2 errors I can't find..and when I try to install it using "sudo make install", nothing happens..so I tried using the pre-compiled rpm file, hence my problem [23:35] Cheguerz, /dev/sr1 should be a link to /dev/scd1 or something like that [23:35] why inclue a drive only for windows [23:35] I see [23:36] Cheguerz: oh it's an external... why not delete that partition? [23:36] Cheguerz, you have two CD drives? [23:36] Cheguerz: is that possible? [23:36] its built in the rom [23:36] the live filesystem [23:36] ljamisonii: which version of wine are you trying to install. Onto which os version? [23:36] cant touch that, need to hide it [23:37] only one cd drive [23:37] Cheguerz, I am sorry I cannot understand you. Lets start afresh. What do you want to achieve? [23:37] ctmjr: the account is already deleted but remnants of it still remains [23:37] losha: I'm trying to install Wine 1.1.32 and I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 [23:38] wd smartware(a windows only backup system built in the external drives rom) poops up when I mount the disk.wd smartware(universal disk format system) is mounted at /media/wd smartware [23:38] Cheguerz: you could add it to fstab with a noauto option... but I think in this case it's handled by udev since it's automounting [23:38] ljamisonii: you've looked in http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html ? [23:39] Cheguerz: I think you need to create a udev rule to prevent it's mounting [23:39] ok [23:39] losha: I've spent hours on google trying to solve the problem without finding anything like this...you solved it in 3 minutes >_> [23:39] you understand that latest comment I gave though so I didnt misslead you? [23:40] its a rom app, for windows at /media/WD Smartware(=crapware) [23:40] on /dev/sr1 [23:40] hi! how do i get a program to autostart on boot? Its a htpc-program, so i want to go to fullscreen directly [23:40] Cheguerz: I understand... perhaps you could also google for "wd smartware linux" for info on how to remove it [23:40] ljamisonii: too soon to say it's solved, but there's definitely an art to finding things via google... [23:40] Cheguerz: this is why I buy bare drives and external cases separately ;) [23:41] losha: Obviously lol...I'll let you know what happens. [23:41] yeah [23:41] having a problem with a server updating tzdata. when I run aptitude safe-upgrade, I get the following message: http://pastebin.com/m2c6ae09 [23:41] Do y'all know of a program that can extract images from a PDF? [23:41] I'm thinking it's possibly to do with unzip, but it seems I can't reinstall unzip for the same reason I can't upgrade tzdata. [23:41] any ideas on a work around? [23:41] hi all [23:42] LinuX2half: if there is still evidence of the old user try sudo userdel -r "user name" any files left you will have to manually delete make sure the user is logged out [23:42] mac9416: pdfimages, which is in the poppler-utils package [23:42] Cheguerz: isn't there some 'properties' popup you can configure in nautilus to stop the thing automounting?
